About
three
weea
ago lciroulated a questionnaire on
the
subject
of· ..
tbe
student
movement.- Haviaw
been
asked
by
a number
of
people
to ..
make known
-
my
findings,
I
would
like
to
r ~ them here. 'lbe
questionnaire~
part
of
a
term
pa~.~
the subject
of
the "student
movement "
·
·
.
·
·
·
.
.
·
· .
.
To
start ~ff,
I decided
to
find
mt just what most students thought the
term
"student movement" meant. Most took the view that
there
was
some
kind
of
activism
implied; but
this
does
not
necessarily mean
that
·
they
approved of
it.
33.8
percent used
the
·
answer
"Students doing .
volunteer work: teaching, working for political candidates"
to
defme
"student mmovement,n with
36.8
percent
.
saying
·
t11at it involved
"Student protest: demonstrations, activism, sometimes violence."
As
·
far as the situation at Marist was coocerned, (in regard
to
student
activism> only
a
small minority
(5.5
percent) thought that there was
complete apathy.
The
majority
('l1U
percent> said there was some·
participation, implying that
there
was
not
enough. Most students also
app-oved of Mr. Ktmstler'sactivities, when
he
was
here.
·
· ·
As
expected, about
5
percent said they went to the Danbury
..
demonstrations, but a ~urprising
44.9
percent said that they ~d not go
to the convocation. Thisfigure
is
backed up in the
next
question, which
asked
"What
is the most effective way for students
to
solve their
problems?" About
25
percent thought that meetings organized and
attended by students to ~Ive their problems -- the format of the
convocation -were the answer. An interesting figure is that 3.6 per-
cent (which represents at least fifty students) advocated "Violent
demonstrations: bomb throwi~, Molotov cocktails, window
.
breaking" to solve student problems. It is v~ probably that a
number of those qsestioned put down this answer just to be funny, but I
am
sm-e that we have at least ten hard core revolutionaries (is this
bad?) on campus. There was also a question on "could
it
(violence and
demonstrations, etc.) happen at Marist?" My wording used the phrase
"Would
you
say that it is possible ... '' Many commented that anything
.
was PQSsible; but
was
it probable? Anyway,
46.8
percent said that it is
.
possible, with
41.2
percent taking the opposite position and
12
percent
.
·
undecided.
.
.
Towards the end of the questionnairen
I
attempted
to
find out what
convictions students had politically. The first question of this sort
asked the student to circle a nwnber' pn a scale from zero
to
ten to
indicate his political sentiments. (Zero was most radically liberal, five
was middle
of
the road,
and
ten.was most conservative.) The average
number circled by white males was
4.81,
just to the Jeft
of
center;
White females went about a point more liberal with a
3.84.
Finally
·
blacks and Puerto Ricans went a step further with 3.07. Lest I be ac-
cused of prejudice against races other than the white one, let me say
that I had to lump blacks and Puerto Ricans into one category because
there were not
enough
of either answering
the
,
questionnaire to form
separate black male, black female, Puerto Rican male, and Puerto
Rican female categories .
.
The
.
questionnaire was divided into
·
categories to find out the different attitudes of
groups
on campus
.
.
It
would
.
appear
.
that blacks and Puerto Ricans are most liberal
.
of
.
anyone on campus.

candidates,
·
on
·
which there was no_ sigriificant consensus,
.
.
.
·
·
The last question posed was about student involvement in
,
drugs.
This included alcohol, which I realize
is
not generally considered a
drug. but which I included in
this
question for the simple reason that
one can get high on it, as with recognized "drugs". 86.6 percent said
.
they drink, 46.5 percent answered that they smoke marijuana,
l.4
percent said they used hard drugs,
2.8
percent declared for speed,
4.2
percent for various other drugs, and 11.3 percent said they used

nothing. (The answers add up to over 100 percent because of multiple
answers: m~ny, for instance, use both alcohol alid marijuana.)
Prooably the figures for marijuana, hard drugs, etc., are somewhat ·
low, these items being illegal.
.
In closing, I would just like to ~ive some statistics on the question-
Notes On Student Apathy
. :
.
·.
by
Tom Malone
.
·
.
I have a few observatio~ to make about the ~nvocation that had
been called back in October, to discuss ways of improving living
conditions in the dormatories. First of all, the restilts
of
the con-
vocation as observed in late November
is
·
.
It
did not
accomplish a damn thing in regard to improving dorm life. Its
business as usual: beer, pot, music loud enough at times to shake the
foundations of these dorms, and in general, an apathetic attitude on
the part of a
good
many students - as I observe them - towards things
academic. The weekend parties still begin on Thursday and wind up on
Monday mornings, when some people must contend with early mor-
ning classes - and a hangover. This apathetic attitude towards
academic interests, which is what college is all about, indicates that
·
people living in the dorms are satisfied with what
is
happening. This is
·
very bad Another
.
convocation discussing ways students may use
to
enforce rules of social behavior on themselves would be abortive.
Questions on themcral character of students living on campus, should
be raised.
If
they are raised, I am sure the tone of these questions
would be skeptical. These is hypoa-acy afoot here. How can students
on this campus even talk of changing the world, or parts of it, when
they can't even.keep their
own
backyards clean!
.
This explanation of indifference is not entirely convincing - and in
this I find hope. For instance, Sreehan has begun a cultural com-
mittee, and efforts similar to this have been talked
of
by some floors of
Champagnat. I, for me, would be glad to listen
to
a forceful counter
argument to what I have written. If a good case can be made against
when I observe, than I may think that there are improvements as
to
the academic alid cultural consciousness of the student community
are being made. But until these arguments countering what I have
written have been convincingly made, I think outside forces such as
tbs
Administration and-or faculty should step in and enforce long
overdue rules of social behavior in the hopes of improvini;t the
academic atmosphere around here. People today seem
to
be
very
sensitive when the ideas
of
"responsibility" and "self-discipline" are
raised I think they should be
raised.
If
they are not, then the reason
for the existence of Marist College, as an educational institution would
eventually be invalidated.
Otange

by
their
.

points
of

were ..

·
aired
at the
conference.
Some of
tbein
have
stuck
iil
my
,
mind and have
developed into
a
general
questiODDiaw
of
the
meaning
ot
a
higher
education.
What
it
boils down to is
what
we
are
to
consider
an
educated
·
person..

It is
obvious.
thah
'
person
can
eanfa
B_;
,
A.
without doing
~Y
seri°';ls
studying. He
majors
in "guts" and borrows
papers
which he
will
rewrite in order
to
complete a
course.
He
will
ne:ver
be
outstanding but
at lastte can
earn
a certificate which will prove
.
that he attended
college for four years. The sad part is that this person bas
as
much
·
chance in
the
business world
.
as
the
person who
bas
taken education
seriomly rut just can
.
compete with the
\\Ork
that bas
been
plagarized.
·
Although many
job5
want employees with college
degrees,
the
em-
ployer
will
train
an applicant who has majored in almost anything.
~
.
the awllcant who looks be~r on paper will get the job ev~n though
his
education consisted
of
learning

how to get by with d01ng the least
amount of
work.
.
·
·
·
·
·.
· .
.
·
·
There are individuals on
the· other
extreme
who
have educated
themselves but since t~y
do
not have a degree, they
are
not
con-
sidered educated. Many
of
them bad neither
the
time
or
the money but
possessed a desire
·
for knowledge. I
~ill
never believe that
µie
only
form of education must take place
m
·
a classroom. Practical ex~
.
perience and outside research are both a vital part
of
knowledge.
·
The
new college,·eqwv:alency tests
·
are finally giving these people the
chance to prove that they have ecllcated ttbemselves the
hard
w~y.
Nobody structured the form of educatim or told them what was im-
portant. The consumed the inf«.<mation which was important to !heir
personal lives. This type of edu~tion will not always
turn
out gemuses
-Abraham Lincoln was lucky -.but it is probably the cheapest and
most relevant.
.
.
.
This raises another question, how much knowledge does a standard
·
test
measure? This test usually consists
of
general information and
the si.lbject is scored
on
the number
of
correct
responses.
Suppose that
by
chance he does riot know the.answers
to
a particular test. Are we
to
MSume that
he
knows
nothing
of
tbe
subject? No. all we can say is that
he
does
not know
the
answers
to
those particular questions: Another
hypothetical case isif on thedayof
the
tests be
is
not feeling up to par.
·
'Ibis will result in
a
lower
.
perfcrmance than on
.
a day when he feels
rested alid alert. The latter is impossible when
l
the person
:as
four or
five finals in a,row. Tests reduce individuals to mere statistics and
never. accent for positive huinan .factors
which
may
be
more im-
.
portant than a high score.
. .
.
.
·
·
,
.
. ·
A good education is up
to
the individual student to make it good. He
cannot be spoonfed knowledge because if he is not interested in the
subject, he
will
forget it as soon as
.
he learns it. The idle student will
learr, for llie skill
of
learning and te.ts will
be
of little importallce.
One

member of
the
faculty said
he
didn't believe in giving
tests
and
.
that
the student. 5hould sit down with the members
of
the department of
his
major
to discuss his
education.
Unfortunately the student must
_
wait
until
the
Ph.D level until this happens.

Iri
the
recent United Stiites Cath>lic, Fr. P, Riga
~i~~
a~ articlr.
"·
C
..
·
' '
entitled
,
!'Let's Qive Christmas back
to
the Pagans." He gives the
· ·
usual arguments about cmi.rriercialism, neurosis (more people at-
.
tempt suicide
at
Christmas time), paganism, materialism
,
etc, l>lus
·
the fact that no one knows when Christ was born and that December
.
25,
Ca pagan sun feast> was chosen
around
the fourth century, as a day
·
·
to celebrate his nativity.
So
he conclu~s let's
.
change the'dateand

leave Dec. 25 to the pagans. It's a powerfill article which reminds us
how ChristJJ¥lS has ~come a
.
m~t distorted way to celebrate the
coming of Christ.
·
.
.
·
. .
.
What impressed me more were the letters answering the artic}e, one
especially with this thought:
''Fr.
Riga succinctly diagnoses the twin
·
.
cancers of selfishness and
.
materialism in our
·
society; but then he
pr~cribes only an
.
aspirin."
Changing a date isri't going to rid this country ofits evils. What
noticeable effect could a formal liturgical calendar shift
·
have on the
crassness, inhuinaility

.
and
·
ccilsumerism
·
so blatant at Christ-
mas time?
··
It should
be
our role
to
pit Christ, His love;
His
spirit
of
.
poverty and selDessness, back illto Christmas.
Of
course, it.is a·
:
tremendous challenge-but isn't Christianity a fighting religion? We
.
have
.
to
re-sanctify Christmas, not just keep Christ
in
Christmas, but
let him dominate it and us
'
with il
.
.
We are celebrating the birth of a
poor
man, a birth in
.
a manger, in a
drafty cave. Yet
we
mark the event by spending enormous sums on
gluttonous celebrations; with a materialism
·
which would make the
Roman pagans
look
austere by comparison. It is a
:
season of
heightened self-inch
_
ilgence, \\tlen "I give
to
you and you had better
give to me," and most
of
the gifts are destined for one's own family.
Wespend 35 billion dollars on Christmas "gifts" while C>thers starve at
home and abroad. Where
is
the spirit
of
concern, of sharing?
.
.
The day
of
Christ's birth is really not important at all
.
.
What is im-
portant is that
we
celebrate Christ's spirit of selfless and unstinting
love of our brothers. Whether we be Otristian, Jew, or Bu<!dhist, ifwe
have received this spirit of love and concern for our brothers,
then
we
participate in the Incarnation
of
God's love among men.
.
.We live in a pagan society with a few Cltristian remnants. '!bat's the
way we like it, it seems. But
if
we truly care about the coming
of
Jesus
into this world alid wish
·
to do something about
the
paganism of
Christmas, we must
start
with ourselves, in our homes. :IA>rd,,reform
the world, beginning with me.
Someone ~id "Putting Christ back in Otristmas cannot
be
done,
because Christ can
firxl
no place in Christmas." But
if
abuse were the
criterion for removi~ our celebrations, we would
be
left with very
little <No Easter, no nothing.)
Maybe
Christmas is a ooe,;shot charity,
but can we redirect our energies
to
enlarge our one-shot charity rather
than eliminate the bit we do have?
Maybe modem commercial pagans have destroyed not only the
religioos basis
of
this feast, but also
the
human warmth and
merriness
that grew around il out as Christians
we
should have the courage
to
recall and Jive the whole religious message
of
Otristmas, a poverty
of
spirit, a spiritual awakening through God's Jove which becomes in-
carnate among men to make them true brothers.
You can
be
sure that
the
things I
wrote
above \\tlich were gleanings
from the article and the letters, really moved me. But I refuse to let
The Scrooge in me appear. I will hly gifts, I will enjoy feasting with

of
questioning
and doubt, but
I am determined that

Formoststudents,
theyears
tuitionudrooinand
board
at
Marist
is
quite a
sum
.
to
handle. Not many people
are
equipt to disperse
three
thousan~ dollars each year
.for an
education. Thus, they must utilize
every available
means to
gather
these funds.
·
·
.
.
..
Not only must the average student work summer vacation but he is
forced to work Christmas vacation and some must hold down various
jobs
on campus~
They
don't
everi
get the
mini~al
two week vacation
required by labor laws. These circumstances result in sizable loans,
whether they
,
be state loans
<r
federal loans.
Another
avenue that can
be pursued is
the
grant and aid
program.
Students must qualify for
work study, grants and aids, state,
bank
or federal loans. This
qualification is
based
on various items including total family income,
number
of
children in the family and number
of
children in college.
There are
also scholarship:1 for
handicapped
at Marist College.
Late this summer, many people who had federal loans, were in-
formed that they were no longer eligible for them. State loans were
almost impossible
to
receive, only certain bank,s with
~gh ratings
were.permitted to give them out.
'Ibus there was a mass of students
who founr,l themselves short on this years payment.
With
no
time
to
work and
earn
more money, they were forced 'to
apply for
.
work stooy
,
or not return. The result was that many are
working a few
hours
a
week
towards work study and making up ·the
difference with either an on
01:
off
·
campus
job.
Many students are
finding
.
that to work these hours and go to school at the same time is
difficult. The
result
of this is that many students who have the
potentia~ are forced
to
quit
school
because they cannot afford
it.

Success or Failure
·
1be Dover Plains Project
is
an important iMovation in education,
begun this semester by eight Marist students. Their willingness to
forsake the traditional classroom situation has been profitable to both
them and the people in the community with whom they have been
involved. Realizing that their accumulated knowledge is worthless
unless shared, this group has become involved in welfare rights
groups, tutoring
I
in:
the local grammar school, teaching high school
equivalency p-ograms and
the
organization of a local youth center.
While their program is community action orientated, its goal has
always been involvement with the poorer people of the area. Luckily it
has not been a condescending "We're here to help you" attitude but
one of mutual trust and friendship. Respect if formed when you tutor a
child who has been considered uneducable, when you find out for a
mother
of
eight why her welfare check has been cut off, when you try
to get back pay for
the
unfairly evicted tenant farmer who also had to
be
moved in the middle of the night
The students in Dover have found their.program totally worthwhile.
They don't claim their experience is any more real than yours but they
know now.bey have changed. Their experience is one to
be
shared. At
least come to their lecture tonight in C.C.
248
at
9:00.
And
if you a ·e
really sincere in your talk about "helping people" become one of tne
students livin~ in Dover next semester or become involved
in
the
Harlem Valley Club which hopes to establish daily transportation and
communicatioo to Do"er for purposes such as tutoring. You have here
a concrete proposal
to
help change one segment of the world you're
involved with -- it isn't glamouous but it's better than wasting your
time selfishly. The world does not end at the sign that says "welcome
to Marist College."
