.The
lolic Of Fools
·
·
If
ignorance is bliss, as the old saying maintains, then it is also the
magic formula that produces easy solutions to complicated problems.
. The formula is in wide use currently and being applied freely to the
awful tragedy at Attica State Prison. Many of those who are fired with
demands for "justice'' for the prisoners not only were not at the scene
' of the rebellion, but have never seen the outside of a prison, let alone
the inside, and haven't the foggiest conception of what the system of
· crime and ·punishment is as a practical reality .
.
-
A case in point involves four students who "marched" on the Dut-
chess County Jail last weekend, apparently having been aroused by
attorney William Kunstler's appearance at Marist College the night
·
before.
·
..
.
A student in the audience had volunteered his opinion that "we have
· our own
·
rat-infested jail right here.". He
·
apparently was ready to
march right then, but wasn't quite sure in which direction the County
Jail was. -
-
·
·
.·
·
·
·
.
· The four students who did make it probably were not sure what they
would find on their inspection trip, but obviously were not prepared for
· the white-haired, quietly patient person of Undersheriff John P.
.Dakin. He greeted them., and then proceeded to explain calmly that
· the rules forbid anyone, whether or not th~y are on missions of justice,
from going into the jail.
·
Dakin explained that those who are unfortunate enough to be in jail
aren't prone to enjoy being exhibited, and that to allow such a thing
would
;
·indeed make them feel like animals
iri
a zoo
.
In the end, his
approach
to the social crusaders earned him an invitation to be a guest
speaker at the college.
.
·
·
.
.
As
for the charge that the County Jail is "rat infested," an im-
·
. promptu grand jury inspection found•it quite the opposite.
·
Obviously, the four students have learned a lesson about the local
penal institution, but the fact that they did march off to "inspect it"
shows how a f~lse inspiration can be dispensed by some speakers who
are on missions of justice at the expense ofthe just.
Jails and
·
prisons exist for the basic purpose of containing in-
dividuals who have been adjudged threats to society.
·
While
rehabilitation and s.mitary conditions should be primary programs
within them, the fact remains that penal institutions are just that, and
that the:inmates are there because they have committed crimes.
The deaths at Atti~, of course, are at the root of the current heated
debate over prison conditions in general. But the truth is that we don't
·

Explaining The Logic
.
Of Fools
by Brendan GiJI
·
For tho~~ of you who may h~ve read the editorial titled "Logic of
Fools" in the September 22 issue of the Poughkeepsie Journal, I would
like to explain some of the logic involved
_
and perhaps correct some
wrong impressions. First of all, although a march was cal1ed for, after
a long night of heated discussion, it was decided not to go through with
it for a number of reasons. The first of these was that there was no way
-of knowing whether or not there would be repercussions against the
prisoners inside the jail. I have been in many marches, often knowing
that they would be entirely ineffective, but here was one that
_
I not only
knew would be ineffective, but could actually have the effect of wor-
sening the situation. Also it was realized that the sheriff's department
had already made plans for the march, and would
be
awaiting our
~rrival with open arms
.
(Yes, Undersheriff Dakin, we still recognized
you in spite of your wig, moustache
,
and sunglasses when Kunstler
spoke.)
So
with all of this in mind, we decided not to march. Instead, a
meeting was held in order to come up with some more realistic ways of
dealing with the problems of the jail.
I found a number of interesting twists of logic and fact in
.
the
editoria I. First of all, I was the student in the audience who, according
tothe Journal said, "we have our own rat-infested jail right here."
Well, in fact, I said, "hel1-hole of a jail", not a rat-infested jail. I would
not ordinarily call notice to such a small error, but since the Journal
decided to take issue with it, I will too. From the Journal's point of
view, it would seem that since the grand jury found no
-
rats
,-
it would
seem that then there is no cause for concern. From talking to people
,
that have been prisoners and people who have worked in the jail, I get
the idea there is cause for concern.
I for one do not pretend to have any answers, and in fact, admit tll
my own ignorance of the conditions and running of the jail. However,
my ignorance is far from bliss. The Journal seems to feel that if you
haven't been inside of a prison. you have no way of knowing what
really goes on, and therefore, have no validity in criticizing it. Yet in
the same editorial, they demonstrate the impossibility of getting in the
jail without getting arrested. There might seem to be something
illogical in that.
_
Since I was not among the group of four students that visited the jail
that the Journal refers to
,
I cannot speak for them
.
But
,
later on in the
day
,
I was a part of a second group o(four students that went to the
jail. And the greeting we received was far from welcome
.
We went to
·
the front door and asked if we could come in. We were allowed in and
began talking to Mr
.
Dakin and
·
a few others, when someone down the
hall yelled "Get them the hell out of here." I told him we meant no
harm that all we wanted to do was talk. He replied "Get them the hell
·
out of here, if you want to talk to them
,
talk to them on the steps
.
" So,

· Approximately three weeks ago the Food Committee met with Paul

Zaroogian, Ken Storm, and the District Manager of Saga Food. The
two hour

discussion realized what is all to absent at Marist - Real

·
.
·
·
.
When a concerned individual or group of individuals attempt to alter
a distr~~sing situa_tion i! i~ not unlikely for them to be the subject of
patromzmg rhetoric. This ts not the case with SAGA. Every suggestion
~ad~ by the committee was listened to, discussed and utilized. A few
such improvements suggested were a less disciplined I.D. check at the
door, which was causing much ill

The Circle staffs feels that t~e entire Saga management is making
an overall concerted effortto improve your dining condition. We feel
that any verbalharassment

on the part of misinformed students is
both W1ca~led for and only deters from effecting any real change in the

regards
to·_faciHties available. for counseling regarding sex ,educational
matters. Below is
a
statement regarding the services available for this
- particular matter.··
·
The.objective of Service Progr;mis is
to
offer counseling services to
the ~arist CoJJege Community; The concept
of
counseling is used in a
broad sense to include:
. .
.
.
· .
a. short-term individualized.discussions oriented towards increased
self-understanding and awareness'; in an effort to resolve or adjust to
specific issues which 'seriously impair constructive functioning. . -
- b. short-term group disctissions-where carefully guided group in-
teraction i~ an integral catalyst for increased self-understanding, self-
~ctuaHzation and-or expression..
.
· ·
c: serving as con~ultantto campus organizations, groups, and in-
dividuals who need assistance and information regarding ca.mpus and
. community resources that can
be
brought to bear 011 issues primarily
related to mental health or personal adjustmentproblems.
The area of sex education
is
broad eriough
to
bring the total concept
, of counseling services to bear.
.
·
·
a.
Individual counseling sessions wiH be continued and expanded as
·
.. students identify their desire to deal with their concerns within the
counseling relationship. Available counselors are: Mr. Richard
Bickley,Bro.~rry Sullivan,Mr: Bill Berman, and
Mr;
Cagle Moore.
They may
be
contacted through thePsychology Department,Ext.
297,
Room
109 D.
b.
Group counseling:is in progress, and thereby presents the vehicle
· of group interaction to deal with concerns which might be better
resolved through controlled peer encounter.
.
c.
As
per Service Prqgrams support of expanded sex education·
programs to the Marist community, Service Programs has been in-
volved with group who are implementing the distribution of sex
education literature, and acquiring the ~upport
of
concerned com-
munity organizations. ·Service Programs hopes to expand.the use of
both campus and community resources which are available to. relate
to general sex education, contraceptives,
VD
treatment, pregnancy
tests, legal issues, pre-natal care, and abortions.
The scope
of
counseling services is restricted only by the scope and
nature of the problems bro\ight to it.
If
it is felt that certain matters
should be dealt with by other forms of co~nseling services, ap-
propriate referrals would be made. We are deeply interested in
student feedback regarding their concerns and needs.
If
the above statement is determined to be too limited in scope
regarding this matter, we are always available for intelligent ex-
change regarding program development. ·

Residence Staff
by Fred Lambert
After conferring with the Counselling Services Center and the House·
M_asters ana Graduate Assistants of the Resident Hall Staff, we have
. concluded the following.
'. As
an educational community, the situations attendant to the
students' sexuality will be dealt with from our own point of view as
professional educators. To this end, we are unanimous in our
agreement thatgood,viable sex education programs are sorely needed
f1nd we will address ourselves to this need immediately and will look to
the students for the direction these programs will take.
I
Furthermore, we would like to make public the services now at our
~is~sal from a medical point of view. We have always shared a good
rapport with. St. Francis Hospital and have also made contacts with
Planned Parenthood programs of Poughkeepsie. Appointments can be
made through the Nurse's Office. Information on birth control, etc., is
also available in the Campus Infirmary.·
As
an educational facility, which does not act '.'in loco parentis" in
any .aspect of our educational philosophy, matters pertaining to
human sexuality should be no exception. We are in no position to make
decisions for people in a matter so personal as this. We have available
a trained and competent staff to counsel people and add objectively to
d<.>cisions in this regard but in no way do we make the decisions. Nor
are we responsible for the establishment on campus of any clinic to
deal with the physiological aspects of a person's sexuality.
It
is hoped that with a better understanding of the beauties of human
sexuality as
a
means of mature and intimate communication between
two people who Jove each other and a renewed respect for life and the
right to life, irresponsible sexual practices and poorly informed
"<'mergency" decisions
will
cease and to that end we will look.
