Put down your picket, take off those dirty

I
turn on, man, its Central Park in the

dawn. The stars shine, the wind blows, and the rain feels fresh
and cool."
"But all these things exist in the real world. Why do you have
to turn on to enjoy them? Why don't you just go up to Central
Park instead of having narcotic fantasies?"
"Because, Doc, i~ I go up to Central Park, I'm not going to be

faces at the monkeys at the zoo. And even

silence, they move when everything is still, they sneeze, they

Over thi~ oast weekend the
Marist C"lleae Theater Guild
presented Robert Bolt's award
winning play
A Man
for
all
Seasons
in the Campus Center
Theater. Playing to an almost
sell-out crowd, the Guild pres-
ented its best play of the year.
The play is a dramatization of
the dispute between Thomas
More and King Henry VIII over
the passage of the Act of Sup-
remacy and the king's divorce
from Catherine of' Aragon. Even
though the play itself is lively,
the performances turned in by
the entire cast made it more so
and, in its entirety the evening
was extremely worthwhile.
James Britt has staged the
two-acter with commendable
care and authority, eliciting good
all around performances from
the company. Jim Yardly placed
himself entirely in the role of
Thomas More and seems to have
all the qualities of the man him-
self and one can almost sense
the aging and burden on the
man. It was a powerful perform-
ance from a talented actor. Kar-
olyn Nelke makes a striking im-
pression as More's wife, Alice
and the other female member
of the cast turns in quite a per-
formance as Margaret More,

Jobs Abroad
Still A:vailable
The placement department of
the American Student Informa-
tion Service announces that an
interesting selection of summer
jobs in Europe, numbering more
than 10,000, is still available to
college students who apply now.•
Most jobs do not require pre-
vious experience or foreign lang-
uage ability. Wages range to four
hundred dollars a month and
room and board is often includ-
ed. Available positions include
lifeguarding and other resort
work, child care, office work,
factory work, sales work, farm
work, shipboard work, hospital
work, conruuction work, and
camp counseling. Although ap-
plications are accepted through-
out the year, jobs are given on
a first come first served basis.
This year the ASIS is granting
a $250 travel grant to all appli-
cants.

Since a yearbook is essentially a photographic essay of the life of
the school the major job was the collection of suitable pictures
of school activities. In previous years a "professional" photognlpher
was hired for much of that work but that policy was dropped this
year. All pictures were taken by members of the sta:f who then
developed and printed them. Since the number of pictures nec-
essary for a quality book is close to four thousand you can see
that the work entailed is, to say the least, time consuming.
Another change in the photography field this year will-be the
type of pictures used. Since past experience has shown thatgeneral
opinion is against stiff, formal photos this year's book will consist
almost exclusively of candid shots. The senior section contains a
picture of each interested senior in what he considers an appropri-
ate surrounding. This should prove to be more enjoyable to every-
one than the stereotype portraitts of previous years. Permission
was asked of all faculty members to photograph them during their
classes and they all felt that the idea'was a good one. It should be
interesting to see our teachers as they really are and not as photo-
grnhic models. The staff realizes that several of the clubs on camous
will be annoyed when they find that they are not represented hut
it was felt that only active organizations deserve that recognition.
Jobs and travel grant appli-
cations and detailed descriptions

Student CounciL
Last week there were
40
stu-
dents who wanted to attend
a

College and they couldn't attend

council, Bob Johnson, explained
that they had no more money

$50 to a girls college who was
coming to Marist for the foot-
ball game. This is an outrage
because we, the students, who
have paid an activity fee, de-
serve a bus and instead we are
donating our money to a college
who can well afford to pay their
own expenses.
I feel that aside from the poor
judgement shown by the coun-
cil in relationship to allocations
for busing, since we have had
only 4 busses leave Marist this
year for away mixers, we are
ruinning our social reputation
at many girls colleges because
we are not attending their soc-
ial events. How can we expect
girls colleges to attend our soc-
ial events when we don't attend
theirs? I feel that the council
should watch where they throw
student's money in the future
and try to allocate some of it
for the students use. The effect
of the council's poor judgement
in regard to this matter resulted
in an activity-less Friday night
for students who had expected
an evening's enjoyment at this
dance.
Respectfully yours,
James H. Sullivan '69
Dear Editor;
Any student government that
is subsidized by an activity fee
of a collerrP. is rPc;nnnsihl,, for the
entire student body. When an
expenditure is made, the Council
must keep the common good up-
permost in its mind.
In
other
words, the Student Goverenment
will flnanciailly
support any
event from which the entire stu-
dent body will benefit.
Much criticism has been di-
rected toward the Council this
past week concerning its action
on
the Football Club's request
for a beer mixer, May 13, 1966.
The Council upheld the decision
of the Social Committee.
If
the
Club
were granted permission,
it would have been impossible
to
say "No" to any organization.
It
will be interesting to observe
how much support this "non-al-
coholic" function will receive.
One further note on the voting
responsibility of a representative.
Certainly he is required to vote
for any measure that will benefit
the students who elected him.
However,
if
this measure con-
flicts in any way with his con-
science,
the
representative
should abstain or vote according
to his conscience.
The Football Club is currently
sponsoring a drive for pre-season
ticket sales. Even if you can't
afford eight dollars now, it
will
be greatly appreciated if you
pledge this amount.
Bob Johnson.
Dear Editor,
Upon reading your article on
the administration's "wise and
just" decision on not allowing
Dr. Timothy Leary to speak at
our campus, I'm sure that the
education of the student was
their chief object in mind. The
good name of Marist College
was saved from the clutches of
scandal~ since both .the local
schools would frown upon this
heavily! How could anyone im-
agine inviting someone to speak
who is not a "rubber stamp" lec-
turer and experimenter on what
is now becoming a controversial
subject. Someone who isn't af:·aid
of delving into he mind of man -
for the good of man.
We should keep in mind that
Dr. Leary is an eminent doctor
of psychology, whose initials are
not LSD. Marist has had man~
interesting and challenging peo-
ple to speak here, why should
the students be denied know-
ledge of such a fascinating sub-
ject now -
because its a little
too hot?
Respectfully submitted,
Gregory King, an interested
student.
FOOTBALL

Viking quarterback fired to Mur-
phy for a completion and then
to Jim Conroy who fumbled.
Iona gave the ball to the Whip
who proceeded to cut through
the second Marist defensive
team for a sixty yard gain. After
the regulars came in <the Gaels
and the Vikings exchanged the
ball several times, the biggest
play coming in a fifteen yard
run by Rinaldi. Carr, in the last
minutes of the game, drove
through Iona territory bu suc-
cessful completions to Jim Con-
roy for twenty-five yards and to
John Murphy forl4 yards which
placed the ball on the Gael's
last six inches of turf. Lou Rin-
aldi went in off guard for six
Viking points. The conversion
failed as the clock ran out with
the final score Iona 22 and
Marist 14.
Ron Levine, when questioned
about the game, said "The
coaching staff was absolutely de-
lighted. Many kids played for
the first time today and losing a
game with only two weeks of
practice is nothing to be asham-
ed of." Levine singled out Larry
Carr, a second string quarter-
back, for running the team so
well. At one point in the last
part of the second quarter when
the Vikings passing was accur-
ate, Levine said on the sidelines,
"If
I had any idea Carr would
complete
those
passes,
I
would've been thinking about
it." Levine also said that fullback
Lou Rinaldi, who played on a
badly injured ankle, was impres-
sive. Rinaldi gained more than
100 yards on about 20 carries.
On defense Levine praised de-
fensive tackle Dick Ederle and
said Ed Hogg was "tremendous"
at defensive guard.

Criticism

Athletics
Why does the \farist College basketball team have

record? \.Vhy do star players only play one or two years of varsily
ball and then play in an industrial league? Why ( for reasons be-

know they
will never be good
enough
to even rnako the team? \Vhv is it that
only one out of fifty students support' the team by comi,;g to home
games? These are questions which are important to the students
themselves.
The answer to these questions arc very complex and I feel they
can be narrowed down to three reasons. Lack of
school
spirit
,
lack
of athletic and student pride,
and
certain policies of our athletic
department are the reasons which must share the blame.

What's Wrong
Doc?
By
Lou Alpern
"Come on in,
son.
Put down your picket, take off those dirty
sandals and make yourself comfortable. Sit over there on the couch.
I see here that you seem to be having a few problems. Well don't
worry about a thing, son, we'll have you well adjusted in a 50-
minute hour."
·
'.'Look Doc, it ain't me that's having the problems, ifs the rest
of the world. War, bigotry, immorality, conformity, that's what I'm
prote~tint! about. I'm one of the few well adjusted ones."
"Well that's just what we're going to talk about.
I
want to
ask you
a
few questions, so just relax and answer them as· honestly
as you can. You can smoke if you like."
"Can I turn on?"
"If
you feel you have to. No, thank you, I have my own. Let
me
ask you this, why do you smoke those thinks?"
"Doc, when I turn on, the world becomes beautiful."
"Oh, so you think this is an ugly world?"
"Ex-actlv. But when
I
turn on, man, its Central Park in the
snow. It's F.A.O. Schwartz at Christmas time. It's Cape Cod at
dawn. The stars shine, the wind blows, and the rain feels fresh
and cool."
"But all these things exist in the real world. Why do you have
to turn on to enjoy them? Why don't you just go up to Central
Park instead of having narcotic fantasies?"
"Because, Doc, i~ I go up to Central Park, I'm not going to be
able to have jelly apples and carry ballons.
I
won't be able to make
faces at the monkeys at the zoo. And even
if
I'm by ~yself and
sit by the lake, someone on the other side will spit in
it.
How can
I
go up to Central Park, Doc, there's people there."
"What's the matter with people?"
"People spoil everything, Doc. They talk during moments of
silence, they move when everything is still, they sneeze, they
wheeze, they stutter, they lie ....
I"
"So you hate people, huh? Well, there must be a reason. Think
back and try to remember, what is it that makes you hate people?''
"I think it's because they were always betraying me
.
"
"Betraying you? What did you mean by that?"
"Well, all my life they've been betraying me. When Batman
became my hero they called h'.im a homosexual. They fed me

In the March 30 edition of an indoor pool are all beine: con-

Over thi~ oast weekend the
Marist C"lleae Theater Guild
presented Robert Bolt's award
winning play
A Man
for
all
Seasons
in the Campus Center
Theater. Playing to an almost
sell-out crowd, the Guild pres-
ented its best play of the year.
The play is a dramatization of
the dispute between Thomas
More and King Henry VIII over
the passage of the Act of Sup-
remacy and the king's divorce
from Catherine of' Aragon. Even
though the play itself is lively,
the performances turned in by
the entire cast made it more so
and, in its entirety the evening
was extremely worthwhile.
James Britt has staged the
two-acter with commendable
care and authority, eliciting good
all around performances from
the company. Jim Yardly placed
himself entirely in the role of
Thomas More and seems to have
all the qualities of the man him-
self and one can almost sense
the aging and burden on the
man. It was a powerful perform-
ance from a talented actor. Kar-
olyn Nelke makes a striking im-
pression as More's wife, Alice
and the other female member
of the cast turns in quite a per-
formance as Margaret More,

Jobs Abroad
Still A:vailable
The placement department of
the American Student Informa-
tion Service announces that an
interesting selection of summer
jobs in Europe, numbering more
than 10,000, is still available to
college students who apply now.•
Most jobs do not require pre-
vious experience or foreign lang-
uage ability. Wages range to four
hundred dollars a month and
room and board is often includ-
ed. Available positions include
lifeguarding and other resort
work, child care, office work,
factory work, sales work, farm
work, shipboard work, hospital
work, conruuction work, and
camp counseling. Although ap-
plications are accepted through-
out the year, jobs are given on
a first come first served basis.
This year the ASIS is granting
a $250 travel grant to all appli-
cants.

Since a yearbook is essentially a photographic essay of the life of
the school the major job was the collection of suitable pictures
of school activities. In previous years a "professional" photognlpher
was hired for much of that work but that policy was dropped this
year. All pictures were taken by members of the sta:f who then
developed and printed them. Since the number of pictures nec-
essary for a quality book is close to four thousand you can see
that the work entailed is, to say the least, time consuming.
Another change in the photography field this year will-be the
type of pictures used. Since past experience has shown thatgeneral
opinion is against stiff, formal photos this year's book will consist
almost exclusively of candid shots. The senior section contains a
picture of each interested senior in what he considers an appropri-
ate surrounding. This should prove to be more enjoyable to every-
one than the stereotype portraitts of previous years. Permission
was asked of all faculty members to photograph them during their
classes and they all felt that the idea'was a good one. It should be
interesting to see our teachers as they really are and not as photo-
grnhic models. The staff realizes that several of the clubs on camous
will be annoyed when they find that they are not represented hut
it was felt that only active organizations deserve that recognition.
Jobs and travel grant appli-
cations and detailed descriptions
( location, wages, working hours,
etc.) including many photo-
graphs of American college stu-
dents on the job in Europe are

Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter to
protect the righls of Marist stu-
dents and to protest against our
Student CounciL
Last week there were
40
stu-
dents who wanted to attend
a
mixer at St. Thomas Aquinas
College and they couldn't attend
because the president of the
council, Bob Johnson, explained
that they had no more money
for busing. But is seems that the
council could allocate more than

$50 to a girls college who was
coming to Marist for the foot-
ball game. This is an outrage
because we, the students, who
have paid an activity fee, de-
serve a bus and instead we are
donating our money to a college
who can well afford to pay their
own expenses.
I feel that aside from the poor
judgement shown by the coun-
cil in relationship to allocations
for busing, since we have had
only 4 busses leave Marist this
year for away mixers, we are
ruinning our social reputation
at many girls colleges because
we are not attending their soc-
ial events. How can we expect
girls colleges to attend our soc-
ial events when we don't attend
theirs? I feel that the council
should watch where they throw
student's money in the future
and try to allocate some of it
for the students use. The effect
of the council's poor judgement
in regard to this matter resulted
in an activity-less Friday night
for students who had expected
an evening's enjoyment at this
dance.
Respectfully yours,
James H. Sullivan '69
Dear Editor;
Any student government that
is subsidized by an activity fee
of a collerrP. is rPc;nnnsihl,, for the
entire student body. When an
expenditure is made, the Council
must keep the common good up-
permost in its mind.
In
other
words, the Student Goverenment
will flnanciailly
support any
event from which the entire stu-
dent body will benefit.
Much criticism has been di-
rected toward the Council this
past week concerning its action
on
the Football Club's request
for a beer mixer, May 13, 1966.
The Council upheld the decision
of the Social Committee.
If
the
Club
were granted permission,
it would have been impossible
to
say "No" to any organization.
It
will be interesting to observe
how much support this "non-al-
coholic" function will receive.
One further note on the voting
responsibility of a representative.
Certainly he is required to vote
for any measure that will benefit
the students who elected him.
However,
if
this measure con-
flicts in any way with his con-
science,
the
representative
should abstain or vote according
to his conscience.
The Football Club is currently
sponsoring a drive for pre-season
ticket sales. Even if you can't
afford eight dollars now, it
will
be greatly appreciated if you
pledge this amount.
Bob Johnson.
Dear Editor,
Upon reading your article on
the administration's "wise and
just" decision on not allowing
Dr. Timothy Leary to speak at
our campus, I'm sure that the
education of the student was
their chief object in mind. The
good name of Marist College
was saved from the clutches of
scandal~ since both .the local
schools would frown upon this
heavily! How could anyone im-
agine inviting someone to speak
who is not a "rubber stamp" lec-
turer and experimenter on what
is now becoming a controversial
subject. Someone who isn't af:·aid
of delving into he mind of man -
for the good of man.
We should keep in mind that
Dr. Leary is an eminent doctor
of psychology, whose initials are
not LSD. Marist has had man~
interesting and challenging peo-
ple to speak here, why should
the students be denied know-
ledge of such a fascinating sub-
ject now -
because its a little
too hot?
Respectfully submitted,
Gregory King, an interested
student.

Ron Levine, when questioned
about the game, said "The
coaching staff was absolutely de-
lighted. Many kids played for
the first time today and losing a
game with only two weeks of
practice is nothing to be asham-
ed of." Levine singled out Larry
Carr, a second string quarter-
back, for running the team so
well. At one point in the last
part of the second quarter when
the Vikings passing was accur-
ate, Levine said on the sidelines,
"If
I had any idea Carr would
complete
those
passes,
I
would've been thinking about
it." Levine also said that fullback
Lou Rinaldi, who played on a
badly injured ankle, was impres-
sive. Rinaldi gained more than
100 yards on about 20 carries.
On defense Levine praised de-
fensive tackle Dick Ederle and
said Ed Hogg was "tremendous"
at defensive guard.
