.
As 'those who are also observing· Student Government Past,
Present, and Future there are a few observations we should make of
the picture of pervading decadence gloom, ahd dissappointment that
the righteous eye of one Richard F. Bruno has sought to expose.
Through his four paragraph soliloquy of impending doom, and
Drew
.Pearson·
rhetoric, Mr. Bruno fajls to point out, other than
''responsible
dress," one specific instance of irresponsibility,
mismanagement, or complete disorganization that one may conclude
for his "article" (hayride, anyone?). Of the specifics of degeneration
that Mr. ·, Bruno speaks of his accuracy can quite possibly be
questioned. For one, perfect or near perfect
(l

of more· than the number of members needed for quorum
is
a fact
substantiated by attendance records; also there has been to date I
delay (of 5-7 minutes) and no cancellations of meetings due to the
lack of a quorum. One of the members that suppo_sedly "gave up and
quit" resigned with "deepest regret" due to his appointment to an
admissions-post.
An interesting and rather typical comment made was that is that if
the President "Was Elect" is waiting out his form than the student
body is forced to wait with him. Since when does the work and
-vitality of an entire student body rest on any one leader, president
or not.· _It can be generally assumed that our student body has
slightly more iniative than what Mr. Brunq assumes.
,
Finally it is this attitude of "sitting and waiting" and cynicism for .
those who are not "sitting and waiting" that is particularly
aggravating. "Merlin the Magician" has contributed more to Marist
College and the Marist College Student Gov't. in particular than any
self appointed political analyst could possibly hope for.

last issue of the Circle which
well expressed the elements of
our
changing
and restless
society. The case against the
clamorous
utopian. dissenters
who seek to negate the present
· system by means of an upheaval,
represents the f~elings of what I
may term
as : "progressive
conservative."
There is evil in he world. The
presence of evil accounts for the
great
amount
of frustration
encountered by idealists of all
types. Revolutionaries and mass •
movements have faith in the
mfallibility of their cause to
overcome some particular evil.
, However, I have yet to see the
synthesis of any revolution being
a utopia. I also resign myself to
. the fact that revolution and the
violence of the impatient and
frustrated chiliastic dissenters is
a wide spread appearance in
·history. In fact, the dissenters

quo but simply tired and fed-up
human beings who will grab
what they can as soon as the
opportunity presents itself. This
is because they may never see
the opportunity again in their
lifetime. "Why be patient and

only
to let the next
generation reap the fruits of
change?"
America has not been free of
the turbulent internal protest
against its system. Yet, violent
· protests and revolutions often
produce only a pittance of what

internal. disintegration, anarchy
and lawlessness. The results were
chaos,
destruction
and
•.ruthlessness
typified by the
Reconstruction Era. The Civil·
War marked
the
incipient
debilitation and eventual demise
of the system of the Old ·south.
However, evils still persisted and
new ones appeared.
Eric Hoffer epitomized the
salient
characteristic
of the
revolutionary
generation as
"impatience." This is why we
have provoked revolutions. It is
quite_ unrealistic,
possibly
overdemanding,
to expect
everyone to "utilize the methods
of a system which allow for
constructive change," as it is to
say, "Let's everyone think this
way," or "Let's all do it like
this," or "Let's all be the same."
We live in a world of diverse
perspectives, of individuals. It
has been a frequent occurrence
in history that this diversity
brings about a confrontation,
which may be violent, between
the
different
individuals,
nations,
ideologies,
etc ...
struggling
for
self-actualization. It may seem
that I am approaching Social
Darwinism in my thinking - well,
I guess you Jl'!aY call it that.
Even the Christian pacifist must
expect this confrontation; if he
does not, he will be living in a
very
unreal
fantasy of his
imagination. It even says in the
New Testament, "The kingdom
of heaven· suffers violence.'. It
would be ideal, comfortable,
possibly utopian to have things
"evolve relatively peacefully."
However, history has shown that
this may be another form of
utopian SJ)ecu~ation.

·Notes From The Files
~-the I/man
Post Script:
"PROCTORS DO NOT GO AROUND SNIFFING. BRIAN AND
BRO. GINNITY DO NOT PATROL ... THIS IS THE WAY IT
SEEMS."
••
And so ended my last column. By the looks of things, it was very
successful: granted, some people were shaken up, (a lot of frosh
learned a new. word), and I .was informed that two men in grey sutis
are on the lo~kout for me,
(ANONIMITY,
PLEASE!!). But despite
those things people are talking about the situation, discussions are
taking place, and. I hear tell there will be a coloquium soon. This is
better than "The·sounds. of Silence",_right?
•
There are a few things that must be.clarified from the last column.
Point No. 1-
The Junior feds referred to are not proctors, but people paid by
the government, (county, state, orfederal), who inform on student
smokers. They are here. The administration does not condone their
activities. The. question put to them by yours truly was siinply,
"Why are you doing this?"
Point No. 2-
There was no intimidation of any or all of the proctors. I just ask
them to realize the lives they are dealing with. How can anyone
assume the responsibility of h.urting a person's life if he doesn't
· know that life? Know the people on your floor. Be a person, don't
be
a
position.
Point No. 3 -
To all pot smokers:. a responsibility. Realize the fears that
Ji9n~smokers have. Some are afraid that, in the event of a bust, you'll
throw a joint under their door. Also, realize that if there is a .bust,
and if there's so much as a roach on your floor, you and any visitor
will be hauled in. Parties in the dorm are a BIG chance - for
everyone. Use your HEAD!
•
Point No. 4.-
. Will the administration please be open to the situation. As I said,
most smokers are only doing a temporary thing: most aren't sick
dope addicts. After your realization of this, we expect a little more
than a quote in the Arrow.
•
·In conclusion I would like to say that I hope that all of you out
there who know me will keep your mouth· shut if two guys in grey
suits should ask, "EXACTL.Y WHO IS THE IFMAN?"
•
The rar Left 'does not discuss

of the
conservative; they are fed-up,
disgusted,
despairing of the

totally

idealism prevents them from
tolerating evil in he world.
In the presence of a reality
with its omnipresent evils of
suffering and death, idealists run
straight into a brick wall of just
as uncompromising, unbending,
c.oli:,.
and cruel world. They are
the impatient ones, the true
believers who will throw their
temper tantrums of revolution as
soon· as they get their chance.
They may find themselves as
complete misfits in society and
consequently
they

Maybe they will drop out of the
system
with
the
hope
of
establishing a new utopia on a
new frontier. I sympathize with
them in their desire for change.
But, as long as people continue
with such lofty dreams, they will
be very frustrated. Idealism is
something.anyone can create in
his imagination. Unfortunately,
the idealism of many is fruitless;
they lack initiative and a realistic
approach
to the
true-life
situation and consequently have
no tangible effect in remediating
problems. People are suffering
and frustrated but not as much
as those who are told to "wait
patiently for the completion of
the natural process of change."
This takes time! Someone told
me, "Time is man's biggest
hang-up.'' I think he has a point.

As shots rang out from the fifth floor of a book deposit~ry_jn
Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, the United-States lost its thirty-fifth
President, Johri Fitzgerald Kennedy. The assination ·has become a
historical nightmare which would repeat itself in Memphis and Los
Angeles in '68.
•
After each of these tragic events. a somberness and solidarity fell
over a troubled land. National television. focused its cameras on
every person, pl~s~,9..rJN,ng directly or indirectly .enveloped in the
fate of the three _men. Our televisions ·caught the nation's sorrow
under the Capitol's rotunda, the deep anguish at a Baptist Church in
Atlanta and the feeling of outrage in a New York Cathedral. People
sensed a common loss and perhaps found a common resolve - to act
on the issue which caused their demise.
,
What caused the alleged assassins Oswald, Ray and Sirhan to
perpetrate these atrocities? Were these acts by individuals of
unbalanced and deranged minds or did they refle<;t the inherent
sickness in our great society? Volumes have been written on the
su~~ect;that more will follow is certain. Outstanding, however, is the
f_eeling
that if we let racism and fear dominate our political thinking
little can be done to emedy the present situation.
In looking inside the contemporaries of John and Bob Kennedy
and Martin Luther King, it seems their loss leaves a vacuum in
political leadership. Lyndon· Johnson bravely followed the bold Civil
Rights program outlined by John Kenne<ly as witnessed by the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, though the vital economic funds needed to
implement effective reform were diverted to an unnecessary war.
The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, present director of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference, is valiantly carrying on the work of
the late Dr. King. Yet he lacks King's savoir faire in uniting the
factional militant and moderate groups of his party. He probably
faces more di~sent in t!1e ranks than when King began, but so far has
had trouble m assummg the legacy of dynamism that King left
behind. Ultimate success requires forceful leaders of intelligence and
courage to confront the issues.
Precious time is drifting away. The magnetism I saw in Bobby
Kennedy's eyes can't ~e found anywhere today. Perhaps an era of
political leadership has gone with the wind, witness the candidates in
the Presidential election. The American public armed by television
networks and informative magazines must find new faces to conquer
the insurmountable injustices which plague us. It must carry the
torches which were distinguished by assassin's bullets if it wishes to
retain any respect by America's thinking generation for its authority.

you ignore
its
presence. The minute you say,
"There's the sun!", it retreats
never to be seen again. So that
the lack of sun doesn't get you
down, you have to turn to a
more positive way of thinking,
e.g. - "Aren't the clouds nice
today"
or "Boy, it's raining
again.'' It really helps to lie a
little:
Oxford, where buildings are
considered new if they were
built any time after 1750, has a
psychological thing, about it.
You can take a walk around the
city, visiting the various colleges
(nobody really knows how many
there are) with a briskness in
your walk, but after a while
your feet start dragging and you
start to feel older. You look at
the 12th century buildings and
you almost feel as· old as they
do. When the sun is out the city
has a completely different look,
but that's when the sun is out, a
rare English phenomenon.
Its an amazing city though; it
gives a person a great sense of
inferiority. Just a glance at the
people who have been at Oxford
puts a person in his place - some
of the more familiar: Albert
Einstein, William Golding,
J.
R.R.
Tolkien, T. E. Lawrence
(Lawrence of Arabia), Cardinal
Wolsey,
Jean
Paul
Marat,
Thomas
Hobbes
and Lewis
Carroll to name just a few. Lewis
Carroll taught Math in Oxford
and
modelled his "Alice in
Wonderland"
after
curate's
daughter
of Christ Church.
Alice's shop, which is mentioned
in he book, is still open for
business.
American adjustment to the
Oxford way of life is pretty
difficult. The first problem is the
language barrier; its confusing
when Englishmen and Americans
are speaking the same language,
but
not
understanding
each
other.
Say, for example, an
American went to a store with
the
following imaginary list:
by Vim:en~ ~eg\ey
candy, cookies, napkins, potato
chips,
french
fries,
and
thumbtacks.
He would come
home, with absolutely nothing,
unless the store had dealings
with Americans. His list should
have read: sweets or chocolates,
biscuits,
servierettes,
crispo,
chips, and drawing pins.
More confusion - when an
Englishman talks about a private
school, he really means
its
open
to the public; a public school is a
private institution. That's why
they say they speak English and
we speak American.
Money
conversion
is a
problem in itself, but English
slang
makes
it
worse. An
American can go to a store
feeling confident he understands
the pound and the shilling, but
sometimes it's not that easy. An
oblect might cost one pound
three shillings and three pence
(American conversion - $2.79).
You bravely walk up to the
cashier with the anticipation of
what to pay, when all of a
sudden she says - "One quid,
three bob and three penny.''

The Pink
Angel
by Frank Furlong
THE STRASBOURG CATHEDRAL
Paul Claude( has written a poem of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in
Strasbourg.
•
"The Cathedral, all pink among the april leaves
half human, like a being quickened by blood.
'
The great .pink angel of Strasbourg standing between
the Vosgcs and the Rhine,

that are not told

to the child who raises his eyes with good will
towards his giant brother."
The poem continues, written by Claude! at a time when he had
found· his faith. religious and personal. The Cathedral, itself seems to
breathe his faith on this city with the sheer pink immensity of stone .
. From Cronenbourg, at night, looking over the_ monotony of the
crosses in the military cemetery, you can see to the· south from this
faubourg the light that always shines there. From the south, coming
from Neudorf as you enter onto Place de la Bourse on a clear day

the base of the facade.
Today this could not be done. Souvenir
shops, cafes, and restaurants have developed a lively business very
close to the base.
.
The facade is high and decorated with intricate tracery with the
tower passing from the left. There are the Wisc Virgins and the
Foolish Virgins near the entrance which gives the Cathedral a touch
of local legend
The interior is dark and brooding and cold also, during the winter.
One can light on important parts· of the Cathedral, such a.s the
tower of angels and the Horloge Astronomique (astrononiical clock)

nave, particularly on a grey day, one can see the vibrant colours of
the medium size stained-glass window,enhance<! by the darkness that
~urrounds it, behind the main altar depicting the Ascension of Mary
mto heaven. On both sides of the aisle are two tiers of windows
illustrating no less than 150 biblical stories. German • Bazin,
Conscrvateur-en-Chef at the Louvre has said in his History of Art
that a cathedral contains the history of the world.

Turning about half-way down the aisle you see the huge Rosette

Mr.

colleges
in the
Mid-Hudson Valley to employ
help. From Vassar he received
aid in designing the girls room,
at New Paltz
a Fraternity
contracted to do some work in
order to raise money for their
activities (booze). The only dub

to work. For three
Saturday mornings starting at

in October and
November
more than forty
different
students
(?)
volunteered to work all day for
C.A.P.
The jobs done were
numerous; fixing a washed out
road,
painting
ceilings and
houses,
cutting down trees,
knocking
down ceilings and
walls, ripping up floors, cleaning
out the barn, etc. The· pay was
meager but C.A.P. was promised
the profits from a beer blast at
"The
Creamery".
We hope
everyone
shows up. All are
welcome.
Mr. Bennett does not approve
of the use of discotheque as a
title for his Creamery. He has
said that it will have manv more
features
and a different.
atmosphere than other joints. It
has the appearance of a German
beer hall with shields, coats of
arms and seals, many from the
local
colleges,
used
as
ornaments. The Creamery has
two levels; the lower is a huge
ratskeller and the equivalence of
a ski resort is found upstairs,
containing a circular fireplace in
the center of the room. The
Creamery should present one of

DECEMBER·i2,

Two Fakes Later
DULL--
• by Joe Rubino
TOPIC-Intramural Stomach Cramps
The Turkey Trot, a couple of weeks back, was a real success as
over 70 runners competed in he race. Credit should go to Bill Kalish
and my bossman Joe McMahon who organized and superivvised the
event ... The race featured many outstanding runners, a few of
whom, I'm sure, got more than just a look-see from the X-country
team ... the most ~olorful group of participants in the race was the
team of Gary Sullivan, Rick Cordus, Randy Graeff, and Joe Grogan.
They highlighted the race in many ways: I) their mod running attire;
2)
stopping at Frank's halfway thru the fust lap to recharge;
3)
stopping
and posing for both team and individual pictures
throughout
the race; and 4) their finishing as a team, in last
place ... Jim Morrison, who actually held the lead for the first ten
-
feet, surprised everyone by lasting well over 200 yards; until he
stopped to light up another weed ...
TOPIC - Buckets
The Basketball team, contrary to past years; is generating much
enthusiasm among campus yokels. It's amazing what a good team
will do for a school. : .Perhaps the main strength of this year's squad
is
its rebounding ability. The team has four men (Gowen, Kuhnert,
Manning, and Spenla) averaging in double figures for rebounds per
game ... Opposing guards have quickly been finding out that nobody
can guard Kenny Thompson one-on-one ... Frosh team has really
impressed, hitting 100 pts. in first few games. They have a great top
7 or 8, but after that, watch out. If ever their big men should foul
out early in a tough game ... That new fad, which is now dying
down, was really going strong there for a while. In case you missed
it, it was real easy to do; there was only two steps. Step I - you join
the.basketball team; Step
II -
you-quit.

Indoor
Track-a new frontier
For the first time at Marist,
Indoor track meets· have been
scheduled, in order to help fill
the gap between the Cross -
Country and Outdoor Track.
The first four dates on the
schedule are practice m~~ts, in
that they are for the runners'
personal benefit, and no team
competition is scored. However,
the competition _is first class:
over • 1000 runners, including
such standouts as Byron Dyce

Sailors Salvage
Success·ful Season
With the running of the annual
\ Frost-bite regatta, the fall sailing
season drew to a close last
week-end. Marist faced tough
competition
from
{l.P.l.,
S.U.N.Y.
at
Albany,
N.Y.
Maritime Academy and Iona.
The water was cold, the air
biting, but the wind had left
something to be desired.
Marist was off to a good start
placing first in the opeing race
but then they seemed to drift
from their initial victory. At the
close of the first day Ken Quinn
and Pete Hultzer had Marist in
second place to R.P.I. Sunday,
the second day of racing saw the
dqwnfall of our sailors. Very
light winds and strong tides
crippled the contestants greatly
along
with
these .Qrevailing
conditions, experienced and a
little luck aided S.U.N.Y. and
Maritime to by pass Marist. At
the days end the standing were;
R.P.I.

within
one point of
forcing a runoff with S.U.N. Y.A.
Cooper
Union,
Union
and
Queens
finished
respectively
with a nice display of sailing.
The sailors finished the fall
season with a 9-9 slate; it was a
very tough· season, with the
skippers and crews putting in a
tremendous
effort
to
compensate
for
their
inexperience.
Mr. Remenicky
said
that
he was "deeply
gratified
by the enthusiasm
shown by the sailors" and is
looking
forward to a much
better spring season.
As
with all teams there always
are those people who operate
behind the scene to build the
morale, warm the spirit, and to
fill
the void of hunger of the
Marist sailors. Impressed into the
service
was our own Nancy
Johnson and friends Mary Anne
Gorey, Anne Moser, and Donna
Meier.
This year the team fared well _____________

are held at the 168 St. Armory
on Dec. 7, 13, and 21, and on

S. Marist will have eleven
runners entered in'. these meets:
Greg Howe, Bill Kalish,- Joe
McMahon,
Steve Kopki, Phil
Cappio, Bob Mayerhofer, Mike
Bell,
Jerry
Wildner,
. Tom
Mahoney, Charlie Busterna and
Tom Mccutchen.
For the remainder of January,
no meets are planned. Then, in
February, the action picks up
again. In the early part of the
month, there is an invitational
collegiate meet at Albany. On
Feb. 22, Marist is pitted against
Queens College in a dual meet
on Queen's indoor track. There
are also tentative plans for a dual
meet with either Jersey City
State or Montclair State at the
New Jersey Armory.
Aside from these races, it is
hopeful that Marist will be able
to enter its best relay in either
the New.York K. of C. meet, the
Federation meet, or the Millrose
Games, all of which arc held at
the new Madison Square Garden.
Since there is no board track
on campus yet, the runners will
be training at neighboring tracks
such as at .Lourdes High School,
or possibly New Paltz College,
when
the
weather is good.
Unfortunately,
the
winter
sometimes brings snow, and then
it will be back to the roads for
distance, and the lower parking
lot for sprints ..

PLENARY
These indoor meets are for the
benefit
of
the
runners
themselves - Track is a year
round sport - and an indoor
season
is
the
necessary
springboard
to
a more
productive outdoor season. The
added continuity to the program
is a vital step, and will mean a
lot, not only for this year, but
for many Marist teams to come.

29% from the floor at the half,
Marist looked sluggish and just
not up to if when it came to the

coming fast and furious,. but so
were the bad passes and every

times the ballplayers gave the
ball away to Bloomfield. To
make matters worse, Bloomfield
was deadly from the floor,
