IBM Grants
Marist
$15,000
For Environmeiltal
Studies
Dr. Robert
E. Rehwoldt,
Director of the Environmental
Sciences Lecture Series here, has
announced that a grant in the
amount of $15,000 has been
awarded by the International
Business Machines Corporation.
The grant is a three-year grant at
$5,000 per year.
The program is designed to
invite the best qualified experts
and authorities in the various
areas of environmental studies.
They will offer possibly one or a
series
of lectures depending
upon
the- nature
of their
specialty.
The Marist College program is
unique in that it will constantly
be able to be up-to-date in the
most recent developments in this
environmental studies area.
It
would be impossible for any
educational institution to have
this type of diverse talent on its
permanent staff.
Students participating in this
program will be biology majors.
However, their curriculum will
be slightly modified in that it
will place
an emphasis on
environmental studies.
This
program
will be in
conjunction
with
the
undertakin~ of the Mid-Hudson
Colleges Association which is
currently planning educational
and research programs in this
area. This will augment the
Mid-Hudson program but will
not be competitive
Enrollment-Lectures
will be
open to all area undergraduates

in environmental
studies
·as well as qualified
industrial personnel.

The
benefits of this program to the
Dutchess
County
area
by
establishing
an educational
program
in environmental
studies will be unlimited. •
The tentative starting date
is
.January, 1969.
The current I.B.M. grant of
$15,000 over a three-year plan,
amounts to about one-third of
the projected· budget and. it is
hoped
that more funds' will
become available in the future.
. It is the fond hope of the
staff, according to the Lecture
Series Director, Dr. Robert E. •
Rehwoldl,
.that ~any other
groups and industries _
will be

educationally-and financially.

Alumn~s Challenges.
Draft Board
After having applied for a
conscientious obector with the
selective .service, John Quinn, a
former Marist brother, is now
formally resisting the draft by
refusing to obey his induction
orders.
Mr. Quinn, a . graduate of
Marist last year, lost his IV-D
classification (IV-D is a minister
of religion or divinity student
deferment)
upon leaving the
brotherhood. He then applied
for his C.O. status at the local
board in Poughkeepsie where he
is living and employed as an
orderly
in Vassar
Brothers
Hospital.
Upon the board's
refusal
to grant
him his
requested status, he appealed to
the state board but they refused
him. After having received his

EDITORIAL
I
A Right
To Privacy
In this week's e~ition of ."Notes From The Files" our "Ifman,"
near the end of his column, makes some strong contentions - one
which necessitates editorial comment.
Apparently from the Ifman's comments and more substantial
evidence obtained by the Circle, the college community here is
threatened by the presence of student informers who keep "tabs" on
suspect marijuana smokers on campus. The college itself does not
officially allow this situation to exist. Yet students commissioned
by the authorities, are acting as "Junior Feds" (ag~in to sight the
lfman) resulting in the intimidation of "fellow students."
We, as a journalistic voice of students, cannot in all consciousness
permit this circumstance to continue unquestioned. Many students
are probab!Y all too aware that informers are, unfortunately, not
new to ~~st.C:olle~e - not the first occas~on of the student spy.
In ed1tonalizmg m regard to student mformers the Circle is not
comme~ting on the illegality of marijuana - for thls (at present) is
not at <J.Ue~tion.
Wh~t is at question,. what we are commenting on,
~nd obJectmg to,
is
the flagrant mvasion of privacy that the
mformers represent.
Although the unusually high degree of community spirit at Marist
leaves the student with only few moments of solitude he has an
unquestioned RIGHT TO PRIVACY too sacred to be infringed upon
by ill-intentioned peers.
Ironically enough the college catalog stresses as the "purpose of
Marist," that "all their (of the Marist Order) schools be marked by a
. communal and familial spirit." What students informers are in fact
accomplishing, is the deterioration of our "communal and familial"
atmosphere, which is so vital to the college.
Solution? - not easily seen; nor arrived at., The administration, as
men!ioned earlier, does not condo~e this "arrang~ment" on campus,
and 1s perhaps not fully aware of its extent. In writing this editorial
it. is ~he Ci!cle's intent to info~m the student body, and our hope,
that m domg so we accomplish student denouncement of this
deplorable situation.

Surviving
Weakly
We're surviving weekly, but weakly.
••
Publishing a newspaper twice monthly is now only a relaxed,
almost unreal memory of the 1967-68 Circle. When the editorial
staff decided to "go weekly," we realized complications· could
endanger the quality of the newspaper, but never-the-less we took
• the chance - a chance which seems, at the moment, to be paying off.
However,
the "technical difficulties" of deadlines headlines and
_!>y-lines
on
;t
weekly basis are becoming all too apparent to
all
the
sta!f members of the paper. We may be inviting a loss of imagination
which occurs when 'Ye become too involved in meeting our weekly
demands.
Therefore, we are asking for any informal assistance from
members of the student body, faculty, and administration - in short,
from anyone who wants to see the presses kept rolling. This aid in
communication can take the form of letters, columns, newsletters
or any material that could be considered for publication in th;
Circle. Our deadline is every Sunday. Our post box is 857

Stu.dent Government
Past, Present, Future
by
Richard
F.
Bruno
As one looks to the calendar, we see that student government
elections are three months away. All too often the student body
spends one hectic week reading pledges or collecting scrap paper.
But let's look back at the election week, 9 months ago.
•
The question of imagination, ideas, and hard work were the issues.
The man supposedly, of ideas was elected. The result was only one of
apathy and disgust. Two council members have given up and quit,
some still stick it out. With the exception of Les Lombardi, the one
man
on campus who is forced to shoulder the whole of
responsibilities of council activities, the _council is quite useless. To
date t_he council has degenerated terribly. How can one say this?
Simply by attending one of our Student Government meetings. One
finds that they have· difficulty in forming a quorum; the attire is not
fit for the Derby, and when the question of .dress is raised the court
jester, Merlin the Magician, as usual makes jokes and faces while
sitting at the right hand of President was-elect, waving his magic
wand.

This industrious, imaginative; hard working that's

hard.
working, diligent, best-dressed man of the 'year, is President
Was-elect. He is a man . who has been one of the • biggest
disappointments to come to Marist in many years.
. •
.
An interesting comment is that President Was-elect is now
counting the days to the end of his reign; unfortunately the student
body is forced to wait with him. From this one thing can be learned,
one week does not change a person, and it takes more than one week
to select qualified representativ_e~

PARIS
by

I've
been
here
for
approximately two months now
and so I thought I'd write and
give you a brief summary ·of my
experiences
in Paris. Similar
experiences are being had by
other students such a~ Tom
Walsh; Stephen Krom and Doug
Stuart.
The family that I am living

Mrs.
Perruchot-Triboulet.
The
husband is a judge, the son,
Jaques, is an engineer for Mobil
Oil and the daughter, Michelle, is
a teacher for the state.
The school that I am presently
attending (Catholic Institute) is
excellent for learning the French
language, but unfortunately the
physical conditions - classrooms,
desks, lighting and floors - are
totally inadequate and nothing
at all like Marist. Of course,
teachers always remain the same
no matter where you are. Most
of us have been fortunate to
have interesting and dynamic
teachers
except
for ·our
Theology class. I'm convinced
that unless you have a :Qro.
Bosco type of course which
discusses the current trends and
problems, you • can't have an
interesting class. We have the
Ressurrection of Christ for two
hours on Tuesday night and the
lecturers are bland and not very
informative. Naturally, we are
bored and can't wait
to
get out
of the class. Perhaps you are

secondly, and more importantly,
a social theory must proviC,e for

society lacks either or both of
these conditions, the social order
is invalid and a confrontation

•
In hjstory, there have been
many in.stances of such societies ..
The American, French, and even
Russian Revolutions were the
result of an authoritarian society
• which held for the status quo. _
• Today, however, we live in a
society which was formulated
toward a working governing of
its principles and which has
incorporated various channels in
which evolutionary measures can
be enacted. Also, the American
ideals on which the social. order .
is based has most assuredly. been •
the greatest step taken by any
successful
socie"ty,
in . the
evolutionary process of mankind
towards its quest for an utopian
existence. True, we have not yet .

are many things in our society

there are many things in the
workings of our society which
contradict its ideals, but it seems
to be the
most
advanced
socially. Why then should we
forsake it for a move backward
in the
hopes
for a move
forward? The means for change
are there, but because they
provide for a slow synthesis of
our ideals, why forsake the
condition of order by going
outside its laws. Again we must

college campuses is as much a
reflection of turmoil within the
individual students as they cut
their ties with childhood and
seek new identities as adults, as
it is a reflection of the turmoil
of the outer world they are
preparing to enter .
This was one of the exchanges
at a conference
for college
counselors and others held at
Albion College last fall. Part of
the
problem the participants
faced was identifying the sources
and
causes
of the
great
emotional
and social stresses
facing college youth today and·
the psychological factors of their
response.
Their other concern was the
ways the resources of the college
•• counselors,
teachers,
administrators -
can best be
used to help students toward
maturity
and to guide their
responses to the pressures they
feel
toward personal growth
instead of destruction.
Th·e liberal arts colleges, being
smaller and more flexible than
the larger universities, can often
respond to these problems in
different and pioneering ways:
Experiments
with
the
curriculum, with vocational and
educational
guidance,
with
community
organization and
housing arrangements, as well as
the
customary
counseling
procedures
with
individual
students, can contribute to a
campus
climate
for healthy
student growth.
But the smaller campuses are
•
also
frequently
beset with
problems of limited financial
and personnel resources, as well
as philosophical
differences
about
what role the college
should play in students' personal

Best
•·Ever-
by Joe Rubino •
That was the season that was.
What an ending to the football season! Alfred Hitchcock couldn't
have thought of a better punch line ... Not that it matters, but one
thought strikes me - in calling off the Catholic U. game, did anyone
think of the several hundred Viking followers who had bought
tickets to the contest? ... What the heck, the weather is as good a
reason as any for not being 1-6 .. Congratulations to Hank Blum on a
fine season. It's amazing how a freshman could move into a
tremendous gap, namely the one left by Ed Hogg, and do a highly
creditable job in filling it.
HOOP SEASON HAS ARRIVED.
As a trend expert would say, football is "out" and B-ball is "in".
From . the viewpoint from someone on the inside, it looks like this
year's squad should really roll up the victories. A little more
swallowed pride and the team would have had all the depth it would
need to go thru the season practically undefeated ... Frosh team
looks pretty good too; not as good as last year but they should have
a fine season. Lack-depth in backcourt ... Some of the best frosh
ballplayers aren't even playing. One, for instance, is out with a leg
injury; others are not on the team thru no fault of their own, others
quit the team ... frosh have twice.scrimmaged Dutchess and both
times have won by about 30 ... By the way, Heywood Smith has a
twin brother who starts for the Dutchess team. Heywood, himself,
has gotten into the act by becoming manager of the frosh team.
(Show 'em how they do it in D.C. Herbie). . two weeks ago, the
varsity scrimmaged at Orange County and their pre-game warm-ups
dumbfounded the OCCC fans. After Kenny Thompson, 5'7" in
basketball shoes, jammed to start the "lay-up" drill, he was followed
by just about the entire team who proceeded to stuff the ball thru
the hoop from various angles (nice try, Buddy). Although it wasn't
the greatest show ever staged, the Orange County fans had their .
thrill for the night ... The YGBKM Award, this time around, goes
out to whomever put that sign outside the door of the gym office ...
HOCKEY CLUB?
Word has it that the budding hockey club aims to draw Bill·
Iacobellis out of retirement. Bill's a fabulous goalie. Right Jaco? ...
Speaking of fabulous goalies, does anybody know that Bill O'Reilly,
playing goalie for Chaminade High School a couple of years ago,
allowed 25 goals in one game. Bill claims it was against a Long Island
All-Star team ... Sure Bill, we believe you ...
Up until· mid-season, no one
would have believed that this
team would be the best in Marist
history. In fact, judging by the
reactions of many, it seemed as
if Marist was in for its worst
cross-country season ever. After
all, hadn't it just lost those two
stalwarts who had led the Red
Foxes
for four years, John
Forbes and John Goegel? Yes, it.
looked bad to those who had
watched the races and had seen
those two dominate the sport by
running 1-2 in almost every meet
of their career. But, surprisingly
enough, it did not appear that
way to Forbes and ~oegel. They
knew that two runners do not
make a cross-country team, or,
for that matter, not five, or even·
seven. It's a team effort all the
way where every runner counts,
and most of the work is done in
practice. And they knew that
behind them all year there had
been a tightly knit group, all
pushing each other, and working
together,
and
that
within
another year this group would
be· ready
to assume
their
leadership .. In this sense, with a
view
from
the
inside,
the
achievements of the '68 team are
not so utterly miraculous or
unbelievable.
It was at the fifth meet of this
season that the Red Foxes really
came alive. They went into the
meet with a 4-4 record, having
lost two in the opener at home
to Southern Connecticut
and
SOCCER
IN · PERSPECTIVE
• The
Marist College Soccer
Team, coached by Dr. Goldman,
ended with a season's record of
6-6-1, a statistic· which says
much, but one which fails to.
recognize the essence of what
the 1968 Marist soccer team
really was. This year we piled up
a total of 29 goals, as opposed to
24 for the opposition - another.
statistic.
The essence of the
1968 Marist soccer team was the·
individuals who played, and the
results
cannot be judged so
much by the statistics shown'
above,
as by what
these
individuals achieved personally.
The
offensive
squad was,
perhaps, th.e strongest squad ever·
fielded from. Marist. The scoring
was as follows: Bill Kawina, 8
goals,
3 assists; senior Rich
Measle, 8 goals, 2 assists; senior·
co-captain
Gordy Walton, 7
goals, 5 assists; senior Dennis
Vernoia, 5 goals, 6 assists; Ed
Walzer,
1 goal; senior Jim·
Sureau, 2 assists; Cliff Perara, 1
assist; and, a member who didn\t
score, but whose presence added
much to the functioning of the
squad,
Nick
Mvula.
These
statistics cannot tell the stories
·at practice and at games: the Bill
Kawina humor, like "dig me"
and "zing it," the growth on
Rich
Measle's
chin, -the·
Walton-Vernoia. cheering squads
at away games, the Jim Sureau
pranks, etc.
These statistics also fail to tell
the
story
of the halfbacks:
without such men as co-captain
Dan McCleary, John Murphy,
John Murphy (you have your
choice), Jim Snyder, Jim Sureau,
Cliff Perera, and Joe Emmanuel,
the scoring punch would have
been nil. Whoever controls the
middle-field game controls the
game - and this was more than
true for and obvious to the
Marist team this year. As these·
men played and
felt, the • team,
as a whole, played and felt. The
offensive line did work without
t}1eit help, and th~ d~fensive line
was shattered without their help.
The
defensive
squad. was
brilliant in its department too:
lsidore
Sabeta,
senior Jack
Brietanbach: senior Bob Keltos,
and Dave DeRosa, with goalie
Bob Krenn. Their efforts, like
that
of the halfbacks, never
show up in the scoring, but
without them, all the goals in
the world would have meant
nothing.
To wrap it up, the Marist
• College
Soccer Team was a
• success,
not because it was
"outstanding,"
( because it
wasn't), but because it was a
team; it functioned as a group.
What it lacked in experience and
_ability, it made up for with spirit
and unity. If you want to know
what kind of a se11son this was,
don't look at a scorebook. Ask a
soccer player.

had been over Hunter, Lehman,

he set a school record with a
time of 28:00. Forbes' best time
had
been
28:15,
which,
ironically, he did on Oct. 12,

well also and the result was an

toughest teams on the schedule :

a narrow
victory over

another
strong
squad from New Jersey. But,
more important than anything in

tremendous gain of confidence
and the feeling that • the· team
was starting to click. From this
point on, the Red Foxes put

previous year.
The climax of the season came
on Nov. 9 • at the N.A.I.A.

and • Bob Andrews
sparked the team to a third place
finish and turned in their best

Idaho State has broken ground·
on an indoor
facility
for
football, basketball and track.
The $2.5 million "Mini-dome"
will be ready for the opening of
•the
I 969
football
.season
according to athletic director
Milton Holt.
The school becomes the first
in the nation to own its own
indoor
football
field.
The
facility
will seat 13,000 for
football. The artificial grass will
run right to the edge of the
grandstand, which will be 14
feet from the sideline.
The grandstand is elevated six
to eight feet to allow for fine
visibility of the entire field for
even the front row spectators.
A basketball court may be
placed in the center of the field,
with sidelines 30 feet from the
grandstands. Portable bleachers
may also be installed that would
• allow the seating capacity tci
jump to 23,000.
A 220-yard wooden indoor
track covered with a rubberized
surface will be utilized.
The "Mini-dome's" size can
best be described by comparing
it with an eight story dorm
. standing beside it. Five of the
dorms could be placed side by
side
under
the dome. The
building, to be constructed of
steel and cement, will be 440
feet . long and I 00 feet wide,
with 15 of those feet being dug
into the ground.
Idaho State
will play Saturday
night football in the dome, to
avoid
afternoon

television and competition from
outdoor sports.
The facility was voted on by
the ISU student body, and will
be completely
financed by
student funds.

"Ninety percent of the people
in the world are losers - we're
part of the ten percent." Marist
wrestling
coach Jerry
Patrick
obviously has high hopes as he
preps
his
squad
for
the
upcoming campaign. The club,
hopeful of bettering last years
winning record, works out each
night for two hours.
As the opening match against
New
York
University
on
December 3 looms ever closer
each weight class appears set.
Grappling in the previously
obscure I 18 pound weight class
are sophomores Dom Sampogna
and senior Bob Purvis.
John Eisenhardt
carries the
grapplers hopes in the 123 lb.
class while Kevin O'Grady will
shift between the 123 lb. and
130 lb; classes as Coach Patrick
deems it necessary.
Phil Davis, the 1371b. entry,
wrestled for the:past three years
as a high-school
student
in
Kingston.
Davjs has shown a
great deal of potential thus far in
pre-season drills.
Sophomore
Bill
Moody
appe;irs as the number one man
in the
1451b. class. Moody,
wrestled
last
year,
was a
stick-out for the Marist grapplers
in a post-season tournament at
Monmouth College. Bill will be
backed
up in his class by
freshman Bob Brook.
In the
1521b. class Coach
Patrick will turn to Fred Wagner,
a transfer
from
Rockland
County
Community
College
where he put two years wrestling
under his belt.
George Santoro will be the
mainstay in the l 60lb. class. The
sophomore grappler looks, reacts
in a way amazingly similar to
last years captain John "Mug"
Lamitola.
Sidelined by an injury last
year, Joe Iamascia, a junior, has
decided to try again and will
make his comeback in the 1271b.
class.
Footballers Bill Dourdis and
. Jack Walsh have been tabbed to
grapple in the 177 lb. class
Dourdis is reportedly
coming
along well after a near physically
disasterous
football
campaign.
Walsh, a sophomore,· has never
. wrestled betore.'
Dan 'the Bull" Raffaele will
hold down the 191 lb. spot for
the Marist matmen.
In the unlimited heavyweight
class, Bill "the Cat" McGarr
reigns
supreme.
McGarr, a
relative midget in a class of
giants at 198 lbs., reeled in an
undefeated season last year and
he is out to repeat that feat this
year. Among McGarr's victims
last year was a 6'4" 260 lb.
monster.
McGarr rates as the
best
wrestler
in Marist mat
history.
Coach Patrick, entering his
third year of coaching at his
alma
mater,
has
two able
assistants
in managers
Ted
Brosnan
and Mike Andrews.
Brosnan was a matman himself
last year.
Unprecedented
action should
be seen in both the 1181b. and
the 191 lb. classes. Both classes
will be mandatory next year as
part of a movement to improve
collegiate wrestling.
Scoring is based on the results
of individual matches. Five team
points are awarded for a pin,
three for a win by decision and
two points per team in case of a
draw.
The grueling matches last eight
minutes broken into one-two
minute
period and two-three
minute
periods.
Periods are
separated by fifteen second rest
periods. Working cut daily for
two hours in ninety degree heat,
the grapplers start each session
with calisthentics
followed by
various drills and finally they
move to actual competition. The
practices attempt
to build up
strength, quickness, agility, and
of key importance, endurance.
Marist's first opponent is New
York University. Last year the
Purple got a real scare from the
upcoming
Red matmen.
The
next two matches are also away
matches. First, New Paltz on
December
7. Marist almost
knocked off New Paltz last year
and they will be gunning to go
all the way this year. The Red
will
also
be
out
for
Southhampton
- this time to
repeat last year's win.
After a lengthy holiday break
• the Red grapplers will open their
home season against
1C.
W. Post
on January 14. A newcomer to
the schedule Post promises to be
a rugged opponent as they have
several s_cholarship wrestlers on
the -team-.
Coach
Patrick's
charges will again hit the road
taking on Madison - F.D.U.,
Newark - Rutgers, Hunter and
Drew. Marist dropped· matches
to Madison and Newark last year
but they topped both Hunter
and Drew.
Finally the matmen will bring
the campaign back to familiar
grounds. On February 15, Seton
Ha II invades
the
campus
followed by Yeshiva four days
later. Marist will close the season
on February
22 against City
College
of New York. The
grapplers decked Seton Hall and
Yeshive last year while __
City
College is another stranger to the
schedule. The Yeshiva match is a
7:30 affair while Seton Hall and
C.C.N.Y. are Saturday afternoon
tilts.
Coach Patrick seems ready to
continue building wrestling as an
intercollegiate
sport at Marist.
He apparently has cultivated a
fine
mental
attitude
to
complement
the
individual
wrestlers physical prowess. Team
psyche is sky-high right now so -
look o_ut world here comes that
MOTH again.

$15,000
For Environmeiltal
Studies
Dr. Robert
E. Rehwoldt,
Director of the Environmental
Sciences Lecture Series here, has
announced that a grant in the
amount of $15,000 has been
awarded by the International
Business Machines Corporation.
The grant is a three-year grant at
$5,000 per year.
The program is designed to
invite the best qualified experts
and authorities in the various
areas of environmental studies.
They will offer possibly one or a
series
of lectures depending
upon
the- nature
of their
specialty.
The Marist College program is
unique in that it will constantly
be able to be up-to-date in the
most recent developments in this
environmental studies area.
It
would be impossible for any
educational institution to have
this type of diverse talent on its
permanent staff.
Students participating in this
program will be biology majors.
However, their curriculum will
be slightly modified in that it
will place
an emphasis on
environmental studies.
This
program
will be in
conjunction
with
the
undertakin~ of the Mid-Hudson
Colleges Association which is
currently planning educational
and research programs in this
area. This will augment the
Mid-Hudson program but will
not be competitive

The
benefits of this program to the

studies will be unlimited. •
The tentative starting date
is
.January, 1969.
The current I.B.M. grant of
$15,000 over a three-year plan,
amounts to about one-third of
the projected· budget and. it is
hoped
that more funds' will
become available in the future.
. It is the fond hope of the
staff, according to the Lecture
Series Director, Dr. Robert E. •
Rehwoldl,
.that ~any other
groups and industries _
will be
interested in participating . both
educationally-and financially.

After having applied for a
conscientious obector with the
selective .service, John Quinn, a
former Marist brother, is now
formally resisting the draft by
refusing to obey his induction
orders.
Mr. Quinn, a . graduate of
Marist last year, lost his IV-D
classification (IV-D is a minister

upon leaving the
brotherhood. He then applied
for his C.O. status at the local
board in Poughkeepsie where he
is living and employed as an
orderly
in Vassar

EDITORIAL
I
A Right
To Privacy
In this week's e~ition of ."Notes From The Files" our "Ifman,"
near the end of his column, makes some strong contentions - one
which necessitates editorial comment.
Apparently from the Ifman's comments and more substantial
evidence obtained by the Circle, the college community here is
threatened by the presence of student informers who keep "tabs" on
suspect marijuana smokers on campus. The college itself does not
officially allow this situation to exist. Yet students commissioned
by the authorities, are acting as "Junior Feds" (ag~in to sight the
lfman) resulting in the intimidation of "fellow students."
We, as a journalistic voice of students, cannot in all consciousness
permit this circumstance to continue unquestioned. Many students
are probab!Y all too aware that informers are, unfortunately, not
new to ~~st.C:olle~e - not the first occas~on of the student spy.
In ed1tonalizmg m regard to student mformers the Circle is not
comme~ting on the illegality of marijuana - for thls (at present) is
not at <J.Ue~tion.
Wh~t is at question,. what we are commenting on,
~nd obJectmg to,
is
the flagrant mvasion of privacy that the
mformers represent.
Although the unusually high degree of community spirit at Marist
leaves the student with only few moments of solitude he has an
unquestioned RIGHT TO PRIVACY too sacred to be infringed upon
by ill-intentioned peers.
Ironically enough the college catalog stresses as the "purpose of
Marist," that "all their (of the Marist Order) schools be marked by a
. communal and familial spirit." What students informers are in fact
accomplishing, is the deterioration of our "communal and familial"
atmosphere, which is so vital to the college.
Solution? - not easily seen; nor arrived at., The administration, as
men!ioned earlier, does not condo~e this "arrang~ment" on campus,
and 1s perhaps not fully aware of its extent. In writing this editorial
it. is ~he Ci!cle's intent to info~m the student body, and our hope,
that m domg so we accomplish student denouncement of this
deplorable situation.

Surviving
Weakly
We're surviving weekly, but weakly.
••
Publishing a newspaper twice monthly is now only a relaxed,
almost unreal memory of the 1967-68 Circle. When the editorial
staff decided to "go weekly," we realized complications· could
endanger the quality of the newspaper, but never-the-less we took
• the chance - a chance which seems, at the moment, to be paying off.
However,
the "technical difficulties" of deadlines headlines and
_!>y-lines
on
;t
weekly basis are becoming all too apparent to
all
the
sta!f members of the paper. We may be inviting a loss of imagination
which occurs when 'Ye become too involved in meeting our weekly
demands.
Therefore, we are asking for any informal assistance from
members of the student body, faculty, and administration - in short,
from anyone who wants to see the presses kept rolling. This aid in
communication can take the form of letters, columns, newsletters
or any material that could be considered for publication in th;
Circle. Our deadline is every Sunday. Our post box is 857

to seventeen high school debate

8th Annual Marist Invitational

The success of the tournament
was largely due to the efforts of
Br. John Tevlin fms, who, over
the past few months organized
the tournament and on Saturday
ran it with great efficiency. The
efforts of Bro. Thomas Kelly
fms, who aided Bro. Tevlin, were
also indispensable for the success·
of the event.

of gratitude to these two men in
particular and to all those who

Stu.dent Government
Past, Present, Future
by
Richard
F.
Bruno
As one looks to the calendar, we see that student government
elections are three months away. All too often the student body
spends one hectic week reading pledges or collecting scrap paper.
But let's look back at the election week, 9 months ago.
•
The question of imagination, ideas, and hard work were the issues.
The man supposedly, of ideas was elected. The result was only one of
apathy and disgust. Two council members have given up and quit,
some still stick it out. With the exception of Les Lombardi, the one
man
on campus who is forced to shoulder the whole of
responsibilities of council activities, the _council is quite useless. To
date t_he council has degenerated terribly. How can one say this?
Simply by attending one of our Student Government meetings. One
finds that they have· difficulty in forming a quorum; the attire is not
fit for the Derby, and when the question of .dress is raised the court
jester, Merlin the Magician, as usual makes jokes and faces while
sitting at the right hand of President was-elect, waving his magic
wand.
.
·
•
This industrious, imaginative; hard working that's
.right
hard.
working, diligent, best-dressed man of the 'year, is President
Was-elect. He is a man . who has been one of the • biggest
disappointments to come to Marist in many years.
. •
.
An interesting comment is that President Was-elect is now
counting the days to the end of his reign; unfortunately the student
body is forced to wait with him. From this one thing can be learned,
one week does not change a person, and it takes more than one week
to select qualified representativ_e~

experiences are being had by
other students such a~ Tom

Jaques, is an engineer for Mobil
Oil and the daughter, Michelle, is
a teacher for the state.
The school that I am presently
attending (Catholic Institute) is
excellent for learning the French
language, but unfortunately the
physical conditions - classrooms,
desks, lighting and floors - are
totally inadequate and nothing
at all like Marist. Of course,
teachers always remain the same
no matter where you are. Most
of us have been fortunate to
have interesting and dynamic
teachers
except
for ·our
Theology class. I'm convinced
that unless you have a :Qro.
Bosco type of course which
discusses the current trends and
problems, you • can't have an
interesting class. We have the
Ressurrection of Christ for two
hours on Tuesday night and the
lecturers are bland and not very
informative. Naturally, we are
bored and can't wait
to
get out
of the class. Perhaps you are

secondly, and more importantly,
a social theory must proviC,e for

these conditions, the social order
is invalid and a confrontation

In hjstory, there have been
many in.stances of such societies ..
The American, French, and even
Russian Revolutions were the
result of an authoritarian society
• which held for the status quo. _
• Today, however, we live in a
society which was formulated
toward a working governing of
its principles and which has
incorporated various channels in
which evolutionary measures can
be enacted. Also, the American
ideals on which the social. order .
is based has most assuredly. been •
the greatest step taken by any
successful
socie"ty,
in . the
evolutionary process of mankind
towards its quest for an utopian
existence. True, we have not yet .

are many things in our society

there are many things in the
workings of our society which
contradict its ideals, but it seems
to be the
most
advanced
socially. Why then should we
forsake it for a move backward
in the
hopes
for a move
forward? The means for change
are there, but because they
provide for a slow synthesis of
our ideals, why forsake the
condition of order by going
outside its laws. Again we must

college campuses is as much a
reflection of turmoil within the
individual students as they cut
their ties with childhood and
seek new identities as adults, as
it is a reflection of the turmoil
of the outer world they are
preparing to enter .
This was one of the exchanges
at a conference
for college
counselors and others held at
Albion College last fall. Part of
the
problem the participants
faced was identifying the sources
and
causes
of the
great
emotional
and social stresses
facing college youth today and·
the psychological factors of their
response.
Their other concern was the
ways the resources of the college
•• counselors,
teachers,
administrators -
can best be
used to help students toward
maturity
and to guide their
responses to the pressures they
feel
toward personal growth
instead of destruction.
Th·e liberal arts colleges, being
smaller and more flexible than
the larger universities, can often
respond to these problems in
different and pioneering ways:

that Dr. Joseph C.

Best
•·Ever-
by Joe Rubino •
That was the season that was.
What an ending to the football season! Alfred Hitchcock couldn't
have thought of a better punch line ... Not that it matters, but one
thought strikes me - in calling off the Catholic U. game, did anyone
think of the several hundred Viking followers who had bought
tickets to the contest? ... What the heck, the weather is as good a
reason as any for not being 1-6 .. Congratulations to Hank Blum on a
fine season. It's amazing how a freshman could move into a
tremendous gap, namely the one left by Ed Hogg, and do a highly
creditable job in filling it.
HOOP SEASON HAS ARRIVED.
As a trend expert would say, football is "out" and B-ball is "in".
From . the viewpoint from someone on the inside, it looks like this
year's squad should really roll up the victories. A little more
swallowed pride and the team would have had all the depth it would
need to go thru the season practically undefeated ... Frosh team
looks pretty good too; not as good as last year but they should have
a fine season. Lack-depth in backcourt ... Some of the best frosh
ballplayers aren't even playing. One, for instance, is out with a leg
injury; others are not on the team thru no fault of their own, others
quit the team ... frosh have twice.scrimmaged Dutchess and both
times have won by about 30 ... By the way, Heywood Smith has a
twin brother who starts for the Dutchess team. Heywood, himself,
has gotten into the act by becoming manager of the frosh team.
(Show 'em how they do it in D.C. Herbie). . two weeks ago, the
varsity scrimmaged at Orange County and their pre-game warm-ups
dumbfounded the OCCC fans. After Kenny Thompson, 5'7" in
basketball shoes, jammed to start the "lay-up" drill, he was followed
by just about the entire team who proceeded to stuff the ball thru
the hoop from various angles (nice try, Buddy). Although it wasn't
the greatest show ever staged, the Orange County fans had their .
thrill for the night ... The YGBKM Award, this time around, goes
out to whomever put that sign outside the door of the gym office ...
HOCKEY CLUB?
Word has it that the budding hockey club aims to draw Bill·
Iacobellis out of retirement. Bill's a fabulous goalie. Right Jaco? ...
Speaking of fabulous goalies, does anybody know that Bill O'Reilly,
playing goalie for Chaminade High School a couple of years ago,
allowed 25 goals in one game. Bill claims it was against a Long Island
All-Star team ... Sure Bill, we believe you ...
Up until· mid-season, no one
would have believed that this
team would be the best in Marist
history. In fact, judging by the
reactions of many, it seemed as
if Marist was in for its worst
cross-country season ever. After
all, hadn't it just lost those two
stalwarts who had led the Red
Foxes
for four years, John
Forbes and John Goegel? Yes, it.
looked bad to those who had
watched the races and had seen
those two dominate the sport by
running 1-2 in almost every meet
of their career. But, surprisingly
enough, it did not appear that
way to Forbes and ~oegel. They
knew that two runners do not
make a cross-country team, or,
for that matter, not five, or even·
seven. It's a team effort all the
way where every runner counts,
and most of the work is done in
practice. And they knew that
behind them all year there had
been a tightly knit group, all
pushing each other, and working
together,
and
that
within
another year this group would
be· ready
to assume
their
leadership .. In this sense, with a
view
from
the
inside,
the
achievements of the '68 team are
not so utterly miraculous or
unbelievable.
It was at the fifth meet of this
season that the Red Foxes really
came alive. They went into the
meet with a 4-4 record, having
lost two in the opener at home
to Southern Connecticut

• The

Team, coached by Dr. Goldman,

recognize the essence of what
the 1968 Marist soccer team
really was. This year we piled up
a total of 29 goals, as opposed to
24 for the opposition - another.
statistic.
The essence of the
1968 Marist soccer team was the·
individuals who played, and the
results
cannot be judged so
much by the statistics shown'
above,
as by what
these
individuals achieved personally.
The
offensive
squad was,
perhaps, th.e strongest squad ever·
fielded from. Marist. The scoring
was as follows: Bill Kawina, 8
goals,
3 assists; senior Rich
Measle, 8 goals, 2 assists; senior·
co-captain
Gordy Walton, 7
goals, 5 assists; senior Dennis
Vernoia, 5 goals, 6 assists; Ed
Walzer,
1 goal; senior Jim·
Sureau, 2 assists; Cliff Perara, 1
assist; and, a member who didn\t
score, but whose presence added
much to the functioning of the
squad,
Nick
Mvula.
These
statistics cannot tell the stories
·at practice and at games: the Bill
Kawina humor, like "dig me"
and "zing it," the growth on
Rich
Measle's
chin, -the·
Walton-Vernoia. cheering squads
at away games, the Jim Sureau
pranks, etc.
These statistics also fail to tell
the
story
of the halfbacks:
without such men as co-captain
Dan McCleary, John Murphy,
John Murphy (you have your
choice), Jim Snyder, Jim Sureau,
Cliff Perera, and Joe Emmanuel,
the scoring punch would have
been nil. Whoever controls the
middle-field game controls the
game - and this was more than
true for and obvious to the
Marist team this year. As these·
men played and
felt, the • team,
as a whole, played and felt. The
offensive line did work without
t}1eit help, and th~ d~fensive line
was shattered without their help.
The
defensive
squad. was
brilliant in its department too:
lsidore
Sabeta,
senior Jack
Brietanbach: senior Bob Keltos,
and Dave DeRosa, with goalie
Bob Krenn. Their efforts, like
that
of the halfbacks, never
show up in the scoring, but
without them, all the goals in
the world would have meant
nothing.
To wrap it up, the Marist
• College
Soccer Team was a
• success,
not because it was
"outstanding,"
( because it
wasn't), but because it was a
team; it functioned as a group.
What it lacked in experience and
_ability, it made up for with spirit
and unity. If you want to know
what kind of a se11son this was,
don't look at a scorebook. Ask a
soccer player.

had been over Hunter, Lehman,
Stony Brook, and Bloomfield.
The date was Oct. 12, and Phil

he set a school record with a
time of 28:00. Forbes' best time
had
been
28:15,
which,
ironically, he did on Oct. 12,
196 7, and Goegel 's best was
28:26. The rest of the team ran
well also and the result was an
honorable defeat at the hands of
Fairleigh Dickinson, one of the
toughest teams on the schedule :
and
a narrow
victory over
Monmouth,
another
strong
squad from New Jersey. But,
more important than anything in
the won-lost column was the
tremendous gain of confidence
and the feeling that • the· team
was starting to click. From this
point on, the Red Foxes put
together fifteen straight victories
before going into the N.A.I.A.
One of the major highlights of
the season took place on Sat.
Oct. 26 at Van Cortlandt Park, •

team placed four runners under

in any other
previous year.
The climax of the season came
on Nov. 9 • at the N.A.I.A.

and • Bob Andrews
sparked the team to a third place
finish and turned in their best

best be described by comparing
it with an eight story dorm
. standing beside it. Five of the
dorms could be placed side by
side
under
the dome. The
building, to be constructed of
steel and cement, will be 440
feet . long and I 00 feet wide,
with 15 of those feet being dug
into the ground.
Idaho State
will play Saturday
night football in the dome, to
avoid
afternoon
football on
television and competition from
outdoor sports.
The facility was voted on by
the ISU student body, and will
be completely
financed by
student funds.

"Ninety percent of the people
in the world are losers - we're
part of the ten percent." Marist
wrestling
coach Jerry
Patrick
obviously has high hopes as he
preps
his
squad
for
the
upcoming campaign. The club,
hopeful of bettering last years
winning record, works out each
night for two hours.
As the opening match against
New
York
University
on
December 3 looms ever closer
each weight class appears set.
Grappling in the previously
obscure I 18 pound weight class
are sophomores Dom Sampogna
and senior Bob Purvis.
John Eisenhardt
carries the
grapplers hopes in the 123 lb.
class while Kevin O'Grady will
shift between the 123 lb. and
130 lb; classes as Coach Patrick
deems it necessary.
Phil Davis, the 1371b. entry,
wrestled for the:past three years
as a high-school
student
in
Kingston.
Davjs has shown a
great deal of potential thus far in
pre-season drills.
Sophomore
Bill
Moody
appe;irs as the number one man
in the
1451b. class. Moody,
wrestled
last
year,
was a
stick-out for the Marist grapplers
in a post-season tournament at
Monmouth College. Bill will be
backed
up in his class by
freshman Bob Brook.
In the
1521b. class Coach
Patrick will turn to Fred Wagner,
a transfer
from
Rockland
County
Community
College
where he put two years wrestling
under his belt.
George Santoro will be the
mainstay in the l 60lb. class. The
sophomore grappler looks, reacts
in a way amazingly similar to
last years captain John "Mug"
Lamitola.
Sidelined by an injury last
year, Joe Iamascia, a junior, has
decided to try again and will
make his comeback in the 1271b.
class.
Footballers Bill Dourdis and
. Jack Walsh have been tabbed to
grapple in the 177 lb. class
Dourdis is reportedly
coming
along well after a near physically
disasterous
football
campaign.
Walsh, a sophomore,· has never
. wrestled betore.'
Dan 'the Bull" Raffaele will
hold down the 191 lb. spot for
the Marist matmen.
In the unlimited heavyweight
class, Bill "the Cat" McGarr
reigns
supreme.
McGarr, a
relative midget in a class of
giants at 198 lbs., reeled in an
undefeated season last year and
he is out to repeat that feat this
year. Among McGarr's victims
last year was a 6'4" 260 lb.
monster.
McGarr rates as the
best
wrestler
in Marist mat
history.
Coach Patrick, entering his
third year of coaching at his
alma
mater,
has
two able
assistants
in managers
Ted
Brosnan
and Mike Andrews.
Brosnan was a matman himself
last year.
Unprecedented
action should
be seen in both the 1181b. and
the 191 lb. classes. Both classes
will be mandatory next year as
part of a movement to improve
collegiate wrestling.
Scoring is based on the results
of individual matches. Five team
points are awarded for a pin,
three for a win by decision and
two points per team in case of a
draw.
The grueling matches last eight
minutes broken into one-two
minute
period and two-three
minute
periods.
Periods are
separated by fifteen second rest
periods. Working cut daily for
two hours in ninety degree heat,
the grapplers start each session
with calisthentics
followed by
various drills and finally they
move to actual competition. The
practices attempt
to build up
strength, quickness, agility, and
of key importance, endurance.
Marist's first opponent is New
York University. Last year the
Purple got a real scare from the
upcoming
Red matmen.
The
next two matches are also away
matches. First, New Paltz on
December
7. Marist almost
knocked off New Paltz last year
and they will be gunning to go
all the way this year. The Red
will
also
be
out
for
Southhampton
- this time to
repeat last year's win.
After a lengthy holiday break
• the Red grapplers will open their
home season against
1C.
W. Post
on January 14. A newcomer to
the schedule Post promises to be
a rugged opponent as they have
several s_cholarship wrestlers on
the -team-.
Coach
Patrick's
charges will again hit the road
taking on Madison - F.D.U.,
Newark - Rutgers, Hunter and
Drew. Marist dropped· matches
to Madison and Newark last year
but they topped both Hunter
and Drew.
Finally the matmen will bring
the campaign back to familiar
grounds. On February 15, Seton
Ha II invades
the
campus
followed by Yeshiva four days
later. Marist will close the season
on February
22 against City
College
of New York. The
grapplers decked Seton Hall and
Yeshive last year while __
City
College is another stranger to the
schedule. The Yeshiva match is a
7:30 affair while Seton Hall and
C.C.N.Y. are Saturday afternoon
tilts.
Coach Patrick seems ready to
continue building wrestling as an
intercollegiate
sport at Marist.
He apparently has cultivated a
fine
mental
attitude
to
complement
the
individual
wrestlers physical prowess. Team
psyche is sky-high right now so -
look o_ut world here comes that
MOTH again.
