Last week several students
decided
that it was
time
to
tell
people
that the needs of the disabled were not being considered. They felt that
-
a campus organization was needed to create better understanding of
the
-
problems
of
the
.
disabled
_
. This
wo
_
uld be done
:
by a workshop where .
-·
faculty and administration would
be
invited to
talk
about them ..
A
· ·
disabJed student should
_
review the plans for fut\ire construction since
it
.
~ts
l~s
to
design
new
construction access.able
-
for wheelchairs
·
thamol~ b~ldings.

·
.
.

.
It
was
hoped that Maiist wciuld open
its
doors
to
more disabled but to
do
this the existing facilities would have to
.
be renovated. Something
.
wol_Jld have to be done with the
stairs leading to the campus center and
.
the bathrooms in
the
donnitory

to make them a~cessable. This would

give the disab~ed stud.ent another al~mative

may apply to.

Another goal would be to become involv~ with. the problems of the
disabled in the Poughkeepsie area'. 'Ibis would entail investigating
the
_
services
for the disabled and whether they n1ec#heir needs. The next
step to make the disabled conscience of possible ways of solving their
problem: This united effort would apply politica,1 pressure to remedy
the problem through.legislative action.
·
_
.
·
.
.
Th~ idea ~f gaiJ#ul
--
empl~yrrient
.
for all
.
~pie is the ultimate
solution.
_
All other._pi'oblem areas re:volye around it; The desire
of a
world of total equality is
.
prettyfau'fetched but
Uiis
does not
mean
that
·
: -
this utopia should
staY.
'
~ e d
~
the w.agination.
As
more disabled;
:
·
-
.
·
as well as other segments
of our society
;
become educated, they
will
.
,
·
desire the promises of
that education. When
these
promises are kept
out of reach, the injured party must react and demand justice.
The time to act is now! The time
to
get-'involv~ is now! The disabled
needs the support of'this community and being that mari does not
control his fate this community needs their support.

had two women with whom we
could relate and this was a
problem.because there was a

ratio of.·''brothers and sisters".

Struggles Within The Marist Comm Unity
. It's_- Nation·_ Time
U
we are now to.look at Benoit House, itis important to realize· from,
where itis that we are looking.
.
.
. . · ·· ' · ·
There is no real.open schism separating Black and White
a.t
Marist,
·· rather there are undercurrents and feelings separating the two that
have· resulted from.each group's own experiences here.
.
For ttie White student, the strongly kriit-toge~er ,Black· American
Brotherhood Association was a block to his getting to know the Black
students as
.
individuals. Any one Black was a memQer of BABA, and
BABA seemed always to be making demands of him. He wanted the
Black students to just leave him alone. When the Black students did
choose to separate .themselves from the White community, both
groups were happy. with-the separation.
·
.
Coming on to the all-White campus of nineteen sixty-eight was
traumatic for the Black student.
It seemed to him that he was brought
-here by the Administration and then stranded. Unless he was to turn
into a "White student" and
fit
into the existing structure of the college,
he was alone and outside. Necessity brought forth the Black Americ!ln
Brotherhood Association, and the usually complacent atmosphere of
the campus magnifiC9 their every move. They made demands on the
. system because it offered resistance to the changes from a White
college to just a college. BABA beca_me one of the most energetic,
forceful, and successful groups on campus. Yet BABA's direction was
bringing it into conflict with the student system. Fear of
thP,
tight
· - group of Blacks resulted, and a defensive attitude that led most of the ·
Whites to doubt the Black motive developed. Communication_
collapsed.
The atmosphere of Benoit House has changed all this. The students
of Benoit experimented with communal living and it was extremely
successful. Personal paranoia of not belonging disappeared. The
cohesive force holding the Blacks together is no longer "strength in
numbers" and the fulfillment of inner needs, but rather it is
an
"other·
directed" force.
·
During the course of last y~r, Benoit began to get away from the
image of a Black House. White. students lived there also. The residents
of Benoit then opened the house further by giving a party and inviting
all the ·students. By this time though, unfamiliarity had germinated
into fear of Benoit. No students really knew what was in Benoit, but
they feared what they thought had gone there. The preconceived
notions of. the White student. became more promenant than the ex-
perience of Benoit. Again, commµnjcations collapsed.
. t:ornrnunJcations between the Blacks and Whites have as yet to be
satrsractordy restored ..
The number of White students who know
nothing about Benoit House-.- is amazing, especially the freshmen.
BenoWis seen as "the Blackhl)Use over past the.parking lot". Even
more. surprising is the fact that.some do not really know where it is. ·
Th_e
Black students living-there are viewed as separatists who wish to
absent themselves from the rest orthe student body. · .
. Thifr~fore, we must attempt~ present a picture
or
~oit as it,is. To
begln with, it is not an excl~ively Black dorm, something which none
of thef reshmen asked knew,- nor
.
is
it necessarily a bad idea, since the
· studehts who live there are' living there more or less as a family
~lpi'ng each other out however possible.
.
_ ,:
· The following response~ were compiled'from questions asked to a
number of freshmen:
'
. .
·
· ·
•
, ·
U What do you think Benoit· House is? ·
.
. .
"Benoit is a product of the segregation in today's society."
· ;
It is a house given to Blacks because they don't want to live in
dorms. ·
-·
I don't know.
· -.
.
-

Yes.

I

was assigned
there.
·· If they would accept me,
I
would accpt them.
I'd live there if it-was IX)SSible.
_ . ·
.
6.)
Do you see Benoit House
as
an administration "easy solution"?
It is an administration cop-out to allow Blacks their own housing.
.It was. the only solution at the time.
·
It isn't an administration "out" but rather something-that all con-
cerned wanted.
-
·.
- ·
.
.
At the time,
it was an easy solution.

An Opinion
Ralph Cerelli
Recently I was asked to write
an article in reference
.to
the
disparities or similarities among
the goals of
White,
amr
~lack
students at this institution. In
thinking
over
the
issue, I came to
the
realization that this type of
statement would lead ooe to
believe that all Black students
are of the ·same mind, religion,
morals;
.
-etc.
Furthermore, an
article such as this would be
unfair to those
who
attend this
institution because if we allow
tourselves
to
make.
·
generalizations concerning in-
dividuals of any ethnic origin, it
will only perpetuate miscon-
ceptions and miStmderstanding.
An
essay of this type therefore
strips
individuals of their in-
dividuality.
If you want to
know
about Benoit Hol.R and those
wbo live there,
just
stop by and
ask a Black student about HIS
goals
at
.Marist
and
HIS goals
in
life.
