THE CIRCLE
BY SAL PIAZZA·
On June 30, the present draft law :will. expire. At that· time
Congress will vote whether or not to continue the'.draft. The Nixon ·
Administration has asked that the law be continued and promises a_
volunteer army by
1973.
.
.
. ., •
. .
It· is difficult not to class the. promise of a volunteer army 'Yith
other _government promises . as lies, distortions and propaganda.
Nixon has promised to end the war, but, has succeeded only in
invading two more countries and placing us at the precarious edge of ·
war with the People's Republic of China. He has taken no steps to
encl the
war
and offers no real solution.·
· ·
.
·
Using the war, ABM and a phenomenal military.budget as evidt:nce
of the strangle hold which the. military has on the government and
the country, there is little credibility in the promise of a volunteer . ·
army.
However the draft must be abolished, and it must be abolished
· immediately. The arguments provided for its continuation reflect
firstly an acceptance of the need and usefulness of an army and,
secondly, that freedom is not endangered by the existence of such a
system.
·
_
In accepting the military as a necessity, one negates everything
human. Morality and freedom are mutually exclusive with the
military and its function. War excludes human needs and desires.-
·:.:J
Morality and freedom are not considerations of an army; rather an
army is directed and controlled only by those in power, in ord_er
to .
maintain that power.
_
_
If the immorality of the existence of an army is seen, it follows·:··.
--
·
·
that any army cannot be used for any moral purpose, tti.erefore
negating any propaganda of Americans fighting for freedom, or some
other abstract moral good.
If
we accept our own individual worth
and freedom as being viable, then we cannot accept the existence of
the military because the individual and freedom are not considered
by the
army.
Edward Kennedy's argument in favor of the draft is that he
doesn't want to see ''poor men fighting rich men's wars." Kennedy
and those -who subscribe to his position seem· to be lacking in
historical background. Poor men have always fought rich men's wars.
He does not address himself to the problem of having V(ars to fight.
So long as there is a concentration of wealth in the hands of a few,
there will be war. As long as politicians and people· a·ccept war as a ·
· means to an end, there will be war. The problem is not to have rich
men fight rich men's wars, but rather to eliminate war altogether.
If ·
Kennedy and other self-professed "doves" acknowledge the need for
the mechanism of war, i.e. a military, there will be war.
What is necessary, therefore, is the consciousness.and conscience
which dictate that war is unacceptable. This consciousness requires ·
liberating our own minds from the extensive propaganda which
supports the war machine. This consciousness. dictates personal
non-violence and non-violence as a prerequisite to all societal
behavior.
Because of the integral part which the military holds in industry
and government the result · of this change in consciousness will be
resolution. It
is
not a cultural revolution, but rather, a chaotic
· change in. life-style which will deny the military and industry their
market for oppression.
,
It is necessary now to make anti-draft and anti-military feelings

He hail stopped at quite a few places by midnight and still hadn t
found a girl that suited ~m. They were.all too e:asy. S~ortly after
12
-he pulled -
into_
one of his favorite places, a farrly noisy. spot _called
·. "La Stop." Although the band was playing loudly, the music was
being drowned outby the clientele; Suddenly he saw her. · · ·
· ·
· Sitting with another girl at
a
table in the far come~ of the room;
.opposite .the dance. floor.• She was beauhf~lgorgeous-
. lovelyindescribable. Scott decided to watch her
fo!
a while.
·
· ·
Scott was a ladies man. He had the face of a pnnce,_the c!othes_of
. a rich· playboy, .and a smile that made most_ girls sigh with
inf;!:~~h~re ·he went,
his
~er~ ·prese!'ce deman~ed attention. 'He·

He knew- just when to put on his meek-as-a,lamb routing, or J_ust .
. the .right moment . to switch to his devil-may-care personality,
_ whichever· the. situation necessitated. His portable disguise ~t always
worked.- Sometimes he didn't even have to say anything. One
. · glimpse at his ·painted .on' face and another young da1!1sel was
hooked. He had ·never failed.
•
.
·
.
· _
.. · After ten minutes or so.
a:
fellow went over to the. table in ·the :
. , corner. Scott watched him 'is'he moved toward the object of Sc9tt's ,•
· · attraction.
A
few minutes later, the beautiful -brunette who -had·
, · captured the imagination of Scott sat th~re alone as her fri~nd
moved with the newcomer toward the dance floor. Now, for the first
time in ages, Scott began to think.
·
_
· -
. ·
"What is it with this· chick? I've HAD better looking girls than her
before. But the more I look at her, the more I'm convinced that
she's different from every other girl here.'" -
·
_ ·
.
-
As he watched, another adventurous lad approached her table. A
few seconds later he walked away sadly.
!n
the n_ext minutes the
scene was repeated two, three, four tim:.s. _Now ·Scott knew he had
the right girl. Any girl that could llhoot down five guys in a row
without changing her expression , would ·constitute the supreme
challenge. As he walked toward her he was prepared to reach into his ·
library for his greatest works of art.
Walking. "That's funny. She's facing me but she _doesn't seem to
· notice -me. What an act this chick must have." He reached her table.
"Hello beautiful,
jf
you ,Janee half as well as you look, you gotta.
-be Juliet .Prowse. Music's pretty good. What do you say?"
"No, thank you, but
I
don't dance." ·.
·
·
.
Scott had heard some comebacks, but that one was too much.
"Have it your way beautiful. What are you drinking?::
"Thank you, but I'm not quite finished with this one yet."
Panic. ,This had never happened before. He thought he had used
his best smile, but she showed no emotion at all. She was looking at
him, but yet right through hi~.

"How about

_WARD_
I wa~ going to dinner last week'and as I approached the door t;
the cafeteria, Bob Ullrich called me over to ask me
tq
join the King
Committee.
I
told him that· I wasn't interested in that typ~ of work
and that I probably couldn't relate to the people.- Bob· fold me to
read the sign before I made a hasty decision.
It
said that leaders were
needed for a handicapned Boy Scout Troop. Of course I told him to · -
put my name down.
.
• It only hit me two hours later ~hat I was involved in too many
projects and might not have time for all of them. But when I
reevaluated my position., I realized that this was the type of group
that I would be working with in the future. By my partk:pating in
this extra activity, I was -perhaps adding to my educational
experience more than in a regular classroom situation. I think that
the most important reason that I volunteered is that I am doing
something
that
I liked.

·
-
· Two weeks ago, I wrote about the idea of citizen participation and
that the individual best able to help formulate programs for a
specific group was a member of that group. This idea goes one step-
further ... ~e member does not have to have the - physical
charactenst1cs of the group as long as he believes in its philosophical
ideology. The individual identifies with the general goal of. the
betterment of all members of the community.
Community does not necessarily mean a cross section of the
population grouped together . because of geographical barriers. In a
broader se~se, community mean .any group of people which has a
common factor. The members feel a cohesion due to a unifying
force which may be either internal, such as heart disease, or external,
such as prejudice.
Marist College is a community. We who participate in the mutual
experience of sharing the attributes of one another are members of
the community. But I just wonder how many of us are really here to

Senator Edward Kennedy has estimated that at least 25,000
civilians were
.
killed in the war in South Vietnam last year and that
100,000 were wounded. The Senator's estimate, which was based on
official figures, is not disputed by Government figurehead's.
Supposedly, the war in the East is 'winding down' and Mr. Nixon
has made the stat~ment that there has been major progress in the
pacification program in
.
·
South Vietnam. These are contestable
statements if one knows the level of violence that the bombings in
Cambodia, and Laos result in.
The spring walks, and strikes that were student
.
fashions last year
have lost their meaning. The quiet acceptance of the intensification
of American bo
_
mbing raidsfrom South Vietnam and Cambodia into
Laos reveal that the moral awareness and commitment· of the spring
student has been pacified by affective govemmenfpropaganda.
If
the death and destruction in the East
is
not
'winding
down' then
why is it that the student' protest is winding down? Have all the

the opinions of the students on

The survey will be taken from

Joke Is Costly
To the Editors:
During the_ evening of
Wednesday, March I 0th a
_
appeared in the March 11 issue
of our
·
school paper. The letter
was addressed
to
the Marist
community and was from the
students of Benoit House.
It
was
simply a word of "thanks and
appreciation" for the help given
by many of the resident students
several weeks ago. Trifling?
I n'Significant? Ordinarily, yes,
but
in
this particular incident a
gap was bridged, and in the
words of the author of the letter
our Marist community came a
little closer .. to the unity
.
that
we young people so desperately
need in our world today."
·
Also, and
this
was mere
coincidence, the letter appeared
in the CIRCLE on the same day
that Whitney Young died, a man
who had been hailed as the
bridge builder between races
here
in
the United States.
When all is said and done, and
after all the fiery speeches,
federal legislation, militant
action, etc., the one thing that
will emerge as the great bridge
Circle Marist coeds will be freer
to express
-themselves.
It would
be arelief to know that they are
on campus for a reason other
than inale amusement.
Sincerely
Don Hinchey
Ed. Note: Mr. Hinchey seems
to ignore the fact that the New
Women Editors were chosen by
the "negligent past editors".

Pacifism
To the Editor:
The beautiful simplicity of
Tom Hackett's "While We're
Waiting" (Circle Mar
.
11, 1971)
brings close to home the
necessity of pacifism. Taking the
concept of non-violence and
interjecting it into
'"middle-class" life is an
interesting way to effect the
change of consciousness
necessary in 20th and 21st
century America.
Hackett offers a quiet and
deeply personal reflection of the
futility of war. · He reflects a
confusion and bewilderment,
common to many, over the
madness of mass conflict
engineered by fossilized minds.
His
personal rejection of war as
a
constructive means to any end
offers hope
"
and determination
to bring to an end such
brutality.

Commut~r S:tudent--
Dear Editors:
.
As a
·
day student living off

.
come to the
conclusion that there
is
a
definite breakdown between
campus
·
news and the
commuting student. Why aren't
the commuter students more
widely represented in the
Student Government? Is the
shabby coke room in Donnelly
Hall the supposed ' hand out"
for these day hop brown
baggers?
Since the growing majority of
the Marist
·
student body are
commuters there should be some
effective means to reach them.
Let's get the commuters into
the Marist Community by
setting up a better line of
communication.
I
tbink mail
boxes for each commuter as a
source for receiving campus-
news is in order.

tip the scale to what we can get out of the deal. After all, for nearly
$3,000 we should be getting almost everything practically of the
shelves of a supermarket. Obviously this is a one-way street and
would narrow the educational experience to book knowledge. The
extreme of this idea would be caused by apathy, and even though
this disease has not yet reached the epidemic level, the recent
Student Government elections shows that we are moving in that
direction.
I often have a strong feeling that within the gates of Marist we are
isolated from the community of Poughkeepsie. We are not aware of
the problems of the different communities within that community.
We either tum our head and ignore it or say that one person cannot
effect a major problem. There are many people who have no excuse
other than concerning themselves with self-enjoyment.
We are not only human beings but social beings as well, and we
must be concerned about the whole community. We must find the
balance between what
-is
our proper share and what we must do
in
return. It is not expected that we make the front page of a
newspaper, but we do have an obligation in that we are a created
entity to do something,ANYTHING, for the benefit of some one
other than ourselves.
Even if we narrow this concept to giving ourselves to one person
through love, we are putting something out for the betterment of
this person. Eric Fromm's The
Art
of Loving points out that to love
one person is to love everyone because he is
a
person. I feel that it
is
important to get out of the inward concern of one's self. It is
necessary to get into something, no matter what it is-even love- and
believe in it.

Urban
Renewal
In The Union
Street' Area
BY L- fflXON
.
M. Richard
·
Crowley
is
·
a
professional architect
•'
who- is
very
.
interested
·
in providing a
better
·
quality
.
of life in
-.
the
.
world. In this vein he has done a
great deal of study of the Queen
City project. in general and the
Union Street area in particular
arid has been very instrumental
in drawing up an alternative to
blanket clearance
.
He
is
a
member of the Board
.
of
Trustees of the Dutchess County
Landmarks 'Association. Mrs.
Opdycke, also a member of the
same
·
board is a Poughkeepsie
resident who
is
very concerned
.
about improving the city. She
is
equally
,
concerned about the
basic human rights of the people
of Union Street to retain their
hqmes in the face of potential
clearance.
R.W .:
Pura has asserted that
this area should be completely
cleared to achieve a suitable
population density for the
maintance of a viable tax base.
Isn't it in fact true that there are
methods other than blanket
clearance to achieve the desired
concentration of population?
Mr
.
Crowley: Well, of course
you can apply them to really
any area
·
at all.
If
you have an
area, as Union Street is where
·
there are large numbers of single
family houses you are not going
to get large density by letting
them down, ·but if you do need
to build up the density there are
{
suitable areas
-
where you can
I
i._,
·
.
build much taller buildings, and
,
taking the whole Union Street
area as a parcel
·
from Main to
(
Church and from Grand down to
\
Clover, the area as a whole can

of these defects
.
are more serious
,
than others in
that they contribute in
a
greater
fashion to the safety of the
inhabitants
.
or that they
-
cost
more to fix. In PURA's rating
system each of these defects
is
assigned a point rating
.
Some
defects are worth two points
some are worth five points. You
total up the number of points
for a house and if it

that it has become apparent to

to encourage.
(
R.W.
:
This would be selective
f~
'
renewal and rehabilitatio~?
Mr. Crowley: Yes
.
This, you
,
see was the original approach of
I;
I
·
PURA for the whole Queen City
project.
It
was to
.
be a
completely selective process; and
.
to suddenly zero
in
as they have
on Union Street for clearance
when every other street except
_
Main i~ going to have as much
rehabilitation as possible seems
to us an
-
absurd thing for the
City of Poughkeepsie. It's taking
really the oldest street of
all
the
streets in the
'
city and just
throwing it away.
R. W .: Being a professional
architect, do you feel that there
are particular houses
.
that
.
PURA
has labeled sub-standard which
in
fact
could be rehabilitated?
Mr. Crowley: Of course. There
are particular houses in the
Union Street
-
areas which are
even with PURA's standards not
sub-standard~ Quite a few.
R.W.: Are you familiar with
the stan_dards employed by
PURA to determine whether a
building is standard or
sub-standard?
Mr. Crowley: Yes. We have
copies of their original rating
sheets. What they do in
determining whether a building
is
·
cleared or not
is
to list the
building's defects one by one
and
assign
to those defects
i
e.
sagging front steps
is
one,
peeling paint
is
another, a
leaning
·
chimney
is
another,
inadequate plumbing
is
another.
Inadequate plumbing may range
from rooming house situations, a
hall bath for a series of rooms
which is an undesirable kind of
thing to the fact that the
bathroom
is
off the--' kitchen
which in v,ry economical
plumbing
is
the way it happened
and now I understand it's below
our standards of
living.

-John Dewey
For every limit placed on
women, there is an alternate
limit placed on men. In-
dividuality is swallowed tip by
false concepts of femininity and
masculinity. In reality, that
which is female is feminine; that
which is male is masculine. In
society's eyes, that which is
gentle, soft, and emotional is
feminine; that which is strong,
hard,
and
intellectual
is
masculine
.
Society leaves no
room for gentle men or intelligent
women
.
Surely thi.;; is one of the
saddest aspects of our society -
that these walls are placed
around us
,
forbidding us to delve
into our beings
,
and rejoice the
discovery of self. Instead we are
confined to superficial, socially
dictated roles.
