VIET NAM DISCUSSED
At this first meeting, the featured
speaker was Mr. John Sharkey, for-
merly N .B.C. correspondent covering
the war in South Viet-Nam.
Mr,
Sharkey analyzed the situation
as
it was when he left the area. As he
described the general situation, poli-
ticians in Asia have generally been
concerned with their own betterment
at the expense of their people's eco-
nomic and political growth and pros-.
perity. The values of the leaders in
these nations are constantly changing;
they are altered to suit the situation.
This flexibility often leads to many
Ctlups and revolts among·the various
factions vying for power.
Mike Botty, himself wounded in
Viet
·
Nam, was one of over 100 Mar,ist
students to give blood.
Many days of practice and rehearsal went into the first production of
the year.
Shown
is
Jim Sullivan with leading ladies Joann Archer and Peggy Kane
at
practice and in
the play itself.
HIGH TOR REVIEWED
Thursday evening, December 9th, saw the opening performance of the
Theatre Guild's production of Maxwell Anderson's verse play,
High
Tor.
-
The
play
itself represented
somewhat of a deviation from the traditional
theatre Guild productions iii that it contained both dream fantasy and poetic
dialogue.

Mr, Sharkey
·
also placed a large
portion of the responsibility for the
lack of leadership in Indo-China on
the French and their system of
edu-
cation. This system of educating only
a select few has built up an aristocracy
of
wealth whose main loyalty in the
past has been in the interests of
France. These men saw their future
as closely bound to that of France.
When independence came to the area,
these educaed men formed the nu-
cleus of the ruling class. They came
from the best French military schools,
the best trade schools, and the best
universities. Within this group . the
t-~ ... :. ,._
:~:Ieins,of ....
power.~were.,continual~y. being
reshuffled. Few,
if
any, of these men
posse.ssed what we might call· the De-
mocratic spirit. They were the elite
typified by such men as the late Presi-
dent Diem, who apparetntly
became
more interested in preserving
bis
own
power than infighting.· the commun-
ists, according to Mr. Sharkey. He
also stated that the main aim of the
N.F.L. (National Liberation Front) is
to get a negotiated peace. He predict-
ed that the
U.
S
.will
~eatly increase

BLEED·IN
More than one hundred and eighty
of. our students have expressed a de-
&ire to donate a pint of blood for our
soldiers in Vietnam at the "bleed-in"
which will be held
.
in the Champag-
-
nat Library on Friday, Dec.10.The
American Red Cross bloodmobile will
be on campus the entire day, from
8:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The class of
1969 has been especially responsive to
this blood drive.
Election Commisioner Bob Johnson
·
·has released the names of those run-
ning for officerships and council posts
in
the Freshman Elections to .be held
on Thursday, December 16th. They .
are as follows:
The first "bleed-in" was held at the
University of New Mexico as a con-
structive answer to the demonstra-
tions by college students at Ber.keley
and Oakland. Since then, many col-
leges, including Washington, Illinois,
Stanford, and Washington State have
held "bleed-ins" on their campuses.

The "bleed-in" is being organized

their support of the petition and

and for their enthusiastic
reaction to the symposium on Viet-

asked to participate in the fighting

The outstanding performances of all thes!i act~rs, however, are based

to
a great extent upon the efforts of two m~n, Bro. Stephen Lanning, the mode-
rator of the guild, and Mr. James Britt, the director. Each truly deserves the
thanks of the entire cast.
Not to be forgotten
is
the fine work of the stage crew and make-up committee
whose obvious talents served to heighten interest and enjoyment of the play.,

'68
A' GO·GO
by Bill Karl
The phenomenal success of the class
of
'68
m the field of novel mixers was
continued on December 3rd with the
coming of Marist College's first "Go-
Go girls.''·The girls made their debut
at a mixer appropriately entitled "68
a
Go-Go;" and, although attendance
was not as good as would have been
desired (due to a large number of
functions thrown on the same night
at several nearby schools), all those
who attended enjoyed the evening.
The Sophomore class asked that
Rich Gugliemo and Charlie DiSogra
be thanked for the fine job they did
with the three girls, and the possibil-
ity of having another affair of this
type
in the coming semester has al-
ready been mentioned. A feather in
their cap for the Class of

Fleur de Lis On The Go
by Tony Dean
On Friday, November 19, four
members of the Fleur de Lis journey-
ed up to Skidmore College in Saratoga
Springs
to
represent Marist College at
the annual Skidmore International
Relations Conference on Scandinavia.
William Scura, chairman, was accom-
panied by Tony Dean, Frank Krea-
mer, and Daniel Linson, this week in
the. North. The delegation attended
lectures and discussions concerning
the role that the Scandinavian coun-
tries perform
in
the modern world.
The delegates arrived at the con-
ference on Friday afternoon to spend
a busy weekend exploring various as-
pects of the topic of the meeting. Af-
ier dinner they began their first series
of
lectures with the other
_
delegates
from such colleges as our
_
neighbor
New Paltz, Colgate, and Hamilton.
Various officials of the four Scandi-
navian nations were on hand to dis-
cuss their respective nations with the
students attending the conference.
The first lecture was given by Mr.
Paul .Hoeg, former secretary to the
Danish delegation to the United Na-
tions. Mr . .Hoeg spoke about the Scan-
dinavian role m the United Nations.
. He pointed out that Norway, Den-
mark,
.
Sweden, and Finland usually
voted .along the same lines in the
Generiil Assembly, because they have
a commoµ outlook and a joint ap-
proach to world problems.
The four countries contribute to
the world peace through their activity
in the U. N. in three areas. First in
the Generai Assembly, they have spon-
sored resolutions relating to disarma-
ment and to the parthied policy of
South Africa. Secondly, they have sup-
plied armed forces and supervisory
personnel to the U .N. peace keeping
.
forces in the Middle East, Cyprus, and
the Congo. Thirdly, the Scandinavian
countries have supplied high ranking
personnel for the administrative of-
fices
of the. U.N., e.g., the first two
Secretary Generals, Trygve Lie, Dag
Hammaeksjold, were Scandinavian.
·
Mr.Borg concluded his lecture with
an explanation on how small nations
can do so much for the world organi-
zation and for world harmony. He
pointed out the fact· that they are
small and neutral, and this helps to
place their motives above suspicion.
Also, in the twenty year history of
the U.N., the Scandinavian countries
have earned a reputation for efficiency
in getting a task completed and for
having a sincere belief in the ultimate
success of the U .N.
Saturdav morning
·
a panel
·
discus-
sion was held in which members of
the consulate of Finland and Sweden
(o_gether with a Skidmore professor
discussed Scandinavian Foreign Poli-
cy.
Another panel discussion was held
in the afternoon on the topic of "So-
cial and Economic Interaction in
Scandinavia ..
The evening included a reception
for the delegates, followed by dinner
and a program of native folk dances.
The Fleur de Lis has more confer-
ences of this type planned for the
coming year. This is 1ust one of a
series of events which they have plan-
ned
to further acquaint the student
body with the many aspects of the
International scene.
Psych.
Club
·
·
by Daniel Meyer
Concurring _with _t~e development
of
the academic, rehgzous, and social
growth of the college, there has been
a noticeable increase in student or-
ganizations. One of the more recent
•organizations to evolve from the stu-
dent b~dy h_as b<:en the Psychology
Club. Conceived m the minds of a
~andful of Psch. majors last semester,
It
beca~e a_ functioning reality with
·the rat1ficauon of their constitution
and the election of club officers in Oc-
tober.
Moderated by Mr. O'Keefe, the
members of the dub hope to achieve
an aw~r~ne~s of the professional op-
·
portumues m the field of Psychology
enha~ce th~ir ac<:umulated knowledg;
of this social soence, and stimulate
.discussion
in their area of studies
.
Well, it's almost Christmas, and as in every other year, Santa will come
·
on Christmas Eve
with his goodies for the little kiddies. Thi:; year, through
our North Pole correspondent, we were able to get an advance tip on what
.
some members of the faculty and administration can't wait to find under th~ir
trees on Christmas morning.
• Doctor Drennan wants a copy of "1001 Party Jokes."
• For Mr. Skau, a certificate good for one speed reading course.
• Brother Shurkus is hoping for that new book:
·
"How to Cover Genesis in Only Three Weeks."

• For Brother LaPietra, permission to use Brother Molloy's chemistry set.
• Doctor George Hooper wants a year's supply of fruit flies.
• Brother Michael Kelly, local slumlord, wants the revised copy of the
N.
Y.
Housing· Authority regulations.
• For Brother Paul, a g
·
euine life-size prowl car, complete with siren.
For Brother O'Shea, a copy of "How to Win Friends and lfluence
People."
·
• For Doctor Sommer, a gold bound copy of "The Romantic Movement
-The Height of English Literary Achievement"
• Brother .John Luke has already bought the frame for his autographed
photo of James Bond.
• All
Brother Lanning wants is talented actors.
• Brother Edward Cashin will get the real bullet that killed Lincoln.
• For Brother Nilus Donnelley, an erector set and a gallon of tractor
polish.
.
• And last, but not least, Brother Adrian Perrault would like a month
of conscience days.
·
Of course, ~anta did say that some people will not get what
tthey wanted
because.:
·
. well, you know why.

TUTORING
by Dennis Lammens
"Horizons Unlimited" is the nam&
of the tutoring program which was
instituted at Marist three years ago.
This program is still going strong-•
with more than thirty Marist students
.
in
participation.
·
These students, giving up ther af-
ternoons every Tuesday and Thurs-
day from 3 P. M. to 5 P. M., instruct·
the students from Arlington Jr. High
School. These mstructions
·
period$.
last for an hour and are on the basis
of one pupil to one tutor.
The children have problems whi~
are as varied as night and day. While
soI11e
hav~
tragic social problems,
othe~s can barely read and write; in
contrast, others only need someone to
give them a helpful little push in the
right direction.
This program is worked on a vol-;
untary basis only. The children are
not forced into it by any means. They
realize that the tutor is there to help
them. The subjects which are taught
are Math, English, Social Studies,:
History, Spanish, and French.
These instruction periods prove
valuable both to the student and tutor
as well. They
,
give the student
·
a
.
chance to talk to someone he can
think of as being a "friend." While on
the. other hand, it gives the instructor
a first hand view of teaching and its
methods; truly an example of "Edu-
-cation through Understanding."

MARIST SPEAKS
The primary object of a newspaper is to present to its readers a collection
of news. lt is a media of communication and not much else. But if the word
"co11ege" is found
to
precede the word newspaper, then a different idea is
conveyed.
.
The newspaper of a college should have a threefold purpose. CIRCLE
is no exception
to
this rule, if
it may !;le called a rule. The paper is printed to
present and to share not only news pertaining to college life, students, and
campus, but accomplishments
.
and opinions as well.
It
is to encourage the ex-
pression by students of this news, these accomplishments and these opinions.
:Finally,
the cqllege newspaper acts somewhat· as an advertisement and a re-
flection to the e.ntire community of
the
school which
it
represents. Viewing it
from this
light, we see that the newspaper is, perhaps, the best vehicle· for
public relations.
_
If
CIRCLE is
to
fulfill these purposes,
_
and there is no reason why it
should not, then it must be backed by a good staff that is willing to work for
the cause, and by student news and_ the expression of student ideas, sugges-
tions, criticisms, and, of course, questions. But it is only by a combined effort
on EVERYONE'S part that the ideal college newspaper can
be
produced.
There must be repeated co-operation on your part
if the CIRCLE
is
to
con-
tinue publication.
.
ciRCLE has been in existence for less than
a
year, hence it has far to go
and much to look forward to, just as Marist College itself. That is why it is
now that its use as an avenue of expression must be built up ... and continued.
With a good working·group and student backing, any project can be accom-
plished in such a way that serves its purposes and acts as a benefit both to the
student
,qi~
_
to the college, especially
that
of publishing the school newspaper.
·
Gerald Johannsen
TO THE CLASS OF 1969:
On December 16, you will hold your first elections. We of the CIRCLE
s~aff
~rge you to exercise a mature approach to these eledions.-an
approach
befitting a college man. These aren't high school 1Uectioris-don't treat them
as such.
Use
your own judgment to weigh the qualifications of the candidates and
choose the men that you deem best to govei:n you. You should know most of
the members of your class by now. You should
be
able to figure out who are
the men best suited to be your dass officers. Don't vote for a guy simply be-
cause he's "cool"; those pseudo-cools often mal<.e the worst executives. True,
it's difficult to look at a candidate's past achievements, because none of them
reall,:r ~ave p_ast records. However, you shc,uld at least know,
jllSt by
your
assoc1auon with the members of your class, who'll fulfill his promises.· and
who's just giving one grand "snow job."
·
Most important of all-VOT~ Apathy toward these first elections js a
~ad sign f~r the fut~re. Your vote, your one little vote, is very importi:int;
1nany elections onth1s campus have been decided by a margin of less than
twenty votes. By intelligently choosing a good slate of officers, you can prove
that your are worthy
of
being called Men of Marist. It's up to you, so
make
your choice a good one.
JTM ·
Since its inception, Marist College, like many other institutions of higher
learning, has had as one
Qf its aims the making of men out of boys. The whole
Greer of a student here begins with this goal d11ring his hazing week.
]i:fforts'
are made throughout his tenure here
i:o
bring this goal into reality. But in
recent months the success of these efforts has been very much in doubt.
We will soon have another opportunity to prove that we are maturing.
The opening of the Rathskeller will provide this opportunity for the student,
by his sensible behavior. I believe that it is time for all of us to re-examine our
own aii:ns in
life, and our accomplishments; Is it too great a burden for an
institution to take upon
itself. to guide and encourage this transformation into
manhood?
Will each of us wake up some day. t"o the fact that ~e are no longer

and to make firm resolutions for next year'.

On

was simply outclassed. The only bright
spot in the Marist attack was the play
of John Murphy, despite the injury
he incurred during the recently com-
pleted football season. The main of-
fensive attack for Kings centered
.
around small college All-American
·
Tom Hamn who led
a
spirited fas
·
t-
break. The final score, 85-54, simply
showed that Marist could not cope
-
with King's superior ability. Yet this
is nothing to be ashamed of.
Three days later the scene was tot-
ally different. This time it was Marist
who hopelessly outclassed its oppon-
ent, N.
Y.
Maritime; This reporter,
who was at the game, thiriks that the
Freshman team would
·
have
·
had a
better chance
of
victory over Maritime
than over the strong Ulster squad.
John
Murphy,
flanked
by
two Hawks,
makes a shot in a
heart-breaker which
we lost to New Paltz 64-63 in
the
last
4
seconds.
The game, instead of being a
·
run~
away for the varsity, remained close
until the final seven minutes
of
play,
at which time Marist finally started to
put the game on ice. Although the
game was a ~ictory for Marist, it was
nether exciting nor, more important-
ly, wen
·
played; and
if
things do not
improve, Marist will be in for another
long year. This c~n be counteracted
now and in future years only
if people
begin to think
iti-
terms of "not for the
man but for the school."
Although Marist will be outmanned
by
many teams
,it does not have to be
and should not be outclassed. Bv.' this
is
meant that v~lgar gestures, childish
actions,
:m<l the
habit of socializing
with spectators are considered "bush
league
·
' in college circles today. _Also,
considered in
.
the aforementioned
category are certain persons ranting
and
raving on the sidelines, unable to
comroC their emotions. Being consid-
ered "bush league" is something to be
ashamed of, but it is something that
can be and should be corrected.
As Marist grows out of
_its
infancy
in
academic and structural areas, why
must it remain a toddler in its ath-
letic endeavors?
It
is about time that
someone, whether it
·
be the adminis-
tration, the coach, or
·
the players
themselves, take the responsibility
and start
to
change this childish atti•
tude. This may be accomplished in
two ways: first, by the awarding of
athletic scholarships and the hiring
of a full-time basketball coach who
does not have to contend with the
.
worries of coaching another varsity
sport and teaching numerous physi-
cal education classes. This is not
meant as a degradation of our basket-
ball coach, who is doing the best that
his ability permits, by
.
a person who
was cut from the team, but as a plea
from a student who is interested in
the betterment of his school. Secondly,
we could drop basketball entirely,
but this is a completely negative ap-
proach to a positive problem.
In conclusion, I wish to sav that
this article will not come to its frui-
tion
.
solely by the controvP.r<v that
mav arise but rather by the artions,
themselves, which may rome about.
FROM THE CAVE
After an extended vacation, we,
of
the Cave, are most happy to be back
again as the ablest sports reporters
on
the Marist campus
.
In our column
you will, at times, discover very opin-
ionated statements;
whether you
agree or disagree with our views is
your perogative. We are here only to
present the Cavemen's way of think-
ing.
l•irst, kudos to qur newly operative
Football Club. The way in which the
Vikings bounced back to gain a
.500
sectson was truly the athletic come-
back in Marist's brief history ... Club
-football
is here to stay, so Jet's show
our support even more ... Now, what
about a baseball club? . . . Let's not
forget
Marist's
·
first
conference
champs, QUr
own winged-footers.
Well done, men
...
Deepest sympathy
to Ara Parseghian. The poor man
was slapped
by
a Boilermaker, got
caught in a Hurricane, and had night-
mares of Spartan wars. All this in
the span of IO weeks.
.
SPECTRE successfully defended its
"toucb" football crown. They proved
themselves the best as they defeated
everyone they met on the field of
battle, the first time such a fete has
been accomplished .
.
. Just one word
to
our
victorious crew team: row, row,
row your boat all the way into the Dad
Vail finals .

squads are on the hardwood again.
After two games, the Varsity is

a

Way
back
on
Nov. 13. the Football
Club played host to the Manhattan
Jaspers at Riverview Field. As most
of
vou
know, the Jasper turned green
and
.
died in a game that the
13-8 score
makes look close. In an effort to save
face Manhattan has dreamed up ex-
cus;s for the loss from the ni~ht
fog
to the calling of the officials. They still
haven't revealed the real reason that
Manhattan lost, which is known to
both you and the Cavemen: they were
completely outplayed and outclassed
on the field. Marist had a better or-
ganized. better balanced, :md better
coached team. In short, Marist was
just the best of the two on the fi~Id.
What the hell is a Jasper? A loser?!
