The State Deparlment has agre-

Under the arrengcment, Pro-

the one he used during his trip
to Hanoi, North Vietnam, last
December, will remain revoked.
The revocation came about last

TEACHER IS
TRIED FOR
TEACHING
EVOLUTION
LITTLE ROCK,
Ark.
(CPS)
In
lll.25 the nation's attention
turned to a sleepy Tennessee
town where a local high school
teacher was being tried under a
new state law that outlawed
teaching evolution
in
state
schools.
The "Monkey Trial was re-
lived
not
long ago in Arkanaas
where a group of educators batt-
led to remove one of the nation's
three remaining state laws a-
gainst teaching evolution.
The suit, filed by Susan Epper-
son, 24, a biology teacher at
Little
Rock
Centeral
High
School, challanges the law on
constitutional grounds in that it
infringes
·
upon
freedom
of
speech. The Arkansas Education
Association, which solicited Mrs.
Epperson's partici't:>ation, savs
the law is an affront to a teach-
er's integrity and ability, and an
imoediment to complete edu-
cation.
The Jaw was adopted
ih
a
statewide election
38 years ago.
It provides a $500 fine and
possible dismissal for any teach-
er discussing evolutions in a pub-
lic school.
The theory
is
dis-
cussed, but rather guardedly,
manv teachers admit.
Although the legal question
is ever the constitutionality of
the law, heated debate at pre-
trial hearings has yielded com-
panion issues:
-Does the law inhibit intell-
ectual freedom?
-Is the
law
a
bulwark against
atheism?
-To what extent may a state
control the teachings in its pub-
lic schools?
Bruce Bennett, the state's at-
torney general, says he will de-
fend the law with "all the vigor
appropriate to a statewide ex-
pression of the will of the
people."
He intends
to
attack the valid-
ity of the theory originally ad-
vanced by Charles Darwin in
"The Origin of the Species
and
the Descent of Man." It is Benn-
ett who claims the law is a bul-
wark against atheism.
Bennett also daims the state
must control what is taught in
its schools.
"If
Mrs. Epperson's
employers can't tell her what to
teach in the classroom then the
tail is wagging the dog", he says.
Eugene Warren, the AEA at-
torney handling Mrs. Epperson's
case, charges that Bennett is try-
ing to make a joke of the suit.
The AEA and Mrs. Epperson are
"fighting a fight for academic
freedom" Warren said at a pre-
trial conference.
Bennett wants to present the
testimony of 14 scholars so the
court "can see that belief in ev-
olution is atheistic." The attor-
ney general charges that "Mrs.
Epperson wants to teach evolu-
tion to a captive audience
of
little children-what she wants
to do is advance an atheistic
doctrine."
Warren has asked for testi-
mony to be presented in writing
so Bennett "can't make a Barnum
and Bailey circus out of the suit."
Chancellor Murray Reed, who
will hear the case, suggested that
written testimony would be suf-
ficient but Bennett insists he
wants his witnesses in court "in
case your honor should want
to
ask them some questions."
If the law is ruled invalid,
Bennett
said,
the schools would
be
thrown open to "the harang-
uing of every soap box orator
with a cracknot theorv of evolu-
tion. That might be the 'God is
Dead' theory, or the theorv that
man came from a gorilla," he
said.

CUNlJ Keeps
Tuition ...
Free?
ALBANY, N. Y. (CPS)-The
New
York State Board
of
Re-
gents has endorsed the so-called
Ohrenstein formula for increas-
ing state contributions to the
City University of New York.
Although the regents stayed
clear of the controversial tuition
issue, the statement issued by
the board said the committee's
plan was predicted on the prem-
ise that the city's "tradition
of
tuition-free education should re-
main involate."
The board is a constitutional
agency outside the control of
the legislature and has no con-
trol over budgets or legislation.
Its role is to make recommend-
ations on education policy.
A spokesman for the New York
State Department of Education
said a recent student march to
Albany in favor of continuing
CUNY's tuition-free policy had
no effect on the board.
Using the Ohrenstein formula,
the state would increase its share
of CUNY's undergraduate oper-
ating costs to 65 per cent by
1971. The state now pays 45 per
cent and the city contributes
65
per cent. The state
will
also
as-
sume responsibility for the grad-
uate programs for doctoral and
teaching candidates.
In addition to assisting with
the operating costs, the state
would supplement the cost of
building under the plan. It sug-
gests the establishment of a city
University Income Fund
with
equal amounts contributed by
·
the
city
and
the state.
Beginning next year ( 1966-
1967) both will give $50 per
student per year, increasing to
$200 per student.
The
construction
would take
place under the authority of the
State Dormitory Authority.
This
would free university construct-
ion from red tape normally in-
volved in city construction.
Also, New York City has
a
ceiling on the debt limit of con-
struction. This means the city
would be unable to finance any
building except for City Univer-
sity, should the dormitory Au-
thority not assume responsibilty
for financing.
The Regents issued no state-
ment on the no-tuition issue, but
instead indicated they stood by
their three-year-old-policy
of
equitable tuition throughout the
state. They take the position
if
the state and/or city pays tuition
for City University students, it
should pay for students through-
out
the state.
"Contrary to popular belief,
the size of a college or university
seems to have little correlation
with the incidence of organized
protests by students," the editors
of "College and University Bus-
iness" have concluded after
a
survey.
The survey, however, was lim-
ited. The magazine only reques-
ted material from
7.'.32
college
presidents and of these ony
323
responded.
Of the
323
who replied, only
39
reported any "organized pro-
test or demonstrations" by stu-
dents. Some 272 reported no or-
ganized protests but several con-
ceeded that
"sudents
have pro-
ested some administration pol-
icies."
The magazine reported that
of the 39 reporting demonstrat-
ions, nine had less than
1,000
enrollment, nine were in the
1,000 to 2,500 enro11ment range,
six in the 2,500 to 5

dents are little mentioned as

LfVlnf SPEAKS TO FUTURE LflllJYERS
April 19, 1966, Marist College
was the scene of a lecture by the
Hon. Morton
J.
Levine.
The
former assistant District Attorn-
ey of Kings County and present
counsel to the Senate Committee
on Banking and Finance spoke
before the Marist Pre-Legal
Society and other interested stu-
dents on the practicality of stat-
utes and laws formed in Albany.
Mr. Levine drew sh·iking paral-

Federal Government.
The Brooklyn lawyer worked
as a consultant to the New York
State Court of Appeals commis-
sion on Re-apportionment and
was the former council to the
Senate Committee on Judical
Reorganization.
Of special interest was the ap-
pearance of Judge Gellert, Judge
of the City Court. Judge Gellert
who was counsel to the Senate
Committee on Banking and Fi-
nance came to present his re-
spect to his youthful successor.
There were five students wait-

Managing Editor Jack Roche foots the bill for machine age coffee . .
Also present is a complex arrangement of tran doors, push but-

there are apples, hamburgers, and slices of pizza which can be ob-
tained through one of the h·ap doors when the machine's hunger
for coins has been satisfied. Ha door can be found that isn't jammed
and the hamburger can be pulled ou~, the frozen meat can be war-
med

.
The problem
wiiJ1
the stove is
that it takes a half hom• just to thaw the meat. Eating the rubber
hamburger and the latex pizza is an experience not to be forgotten.
The candy and pastry machines offer Htt·Je chaJJenge to the
"gambler", for
the
most that c!ln hanpen is that the rack mi~ht be
loaded incorrectly and cheese crackers might come out when the
Almond Joy knob
is
pul1ed.
The cigarette machine is one of the most .. u:Jed bandits, as its
lure is enhanced because its payoff gives satisfaction to the nicotine
addict. A person inserting his forty cents and getting only a pack of
matches might throw a ··nic fit". A Kool smoker might gag if he is
forced to smoke the Camels the machine gives out.
As of late, the Rathskeller has become more popular as
a
"gambling den" since it is easier to get away without paying

the
workers than the machine.
It
may be that the inefficiency of the
Rathskeller might be the downfall of the basement "Casino"

Okay, so the school newspaper bit never has been a big thing
around here, and we really have no right to expect anything from
our readers. But somehow it seems that all the coffee, cigarettes,
and ridiculously late hours the new staff has been pouring into
this (hopefully) ever-improving
Circle would have been more re-
warding had there been some kind of response. It's not praise
we're looking for, nor is it any verbal spankings ( although any-
thing would be appreciated at this point), but simply response.
Surely someone has something to say about what goes on around
here. Alas, the mailbox was empty but for a bill from Merchants
Press and a few hand1me-down school publications. So we read
the bill a few times and scanned the other college newspapers
( where we found that
The Oracle from New Paltz, an eight page
weekly, has an entire page devoted to letters to the editor. That
felt great}.
And that faculty! All right, the students can be passed off
as apathetic or something, but whatever happened to those three
community minded profs who cried better communications at
Kirk's rally? "Oh yes. I'll volunteer for anything. I'm a genuine
dynamo.
I'll
help the paper get back on its feet. I'm a regular
hand-raiser, I am." College prof or no, either put uo or shut up.
No .... wait .... don't shut up. Say something. Anything! Or is a
facultv too far above a student bodv to write at it as well as talk
at i+? Come to think of it, asking for a faculty contribution to a
student newspaper would be more or less like reversing the whole
term paper theory. And that could prove embarrassing to the teach-
er whose donation winds up in the basket.
Anyway, thanks for
a
whole lot of nothin~.

Doesn't it give you a tremendous feeling o~ security to kno~
that there are plenty of bulletin boards at Manst College (thats

though, is the assurance th,at, at any given time of the school_ year,
whether it be Fr. Drfscoll s birthday, Shrove T~esday, or G1?und
Hog Day, or whatever, there will be, without fail, a vast prolifera-
tion of poshly mimeographed invitations. thumb-tac~ed to our

The student Brothers are

As is to be expected, the far-
thest out sound come from the
farthest out art!st Bob Dylan.
When first heard, his songs seem
almost completely incoherent;
after many hours, a listener may
begin to understand them. Star-
ting with "Like a Rolling Stone"
he entered the pop field with
"folk-rock" and progressed to his
latest hit "Rainy Day Women
No. 12
&
35" the theme of which,
if it may be said to have one,
has nothing to do with the title,
or anything else for that matter.
What makes it count is that it's
fun to listen to and, apparently
a great time to record.
No one seems to know quite
where the new sound is going
or how it will get there, but it's
clear that pop music will never
be the same.

Bus List Signers
continued from page four
It's good that someone is taking the trouble to entertain tho
campus bus, list readers, however .
.
They're a rather "ignored group.
Besides, the whole bit is indicative of a new trend toward student
involvement in campus affairs. But wait, that's abnormal! It's com-
mon knowledge that college students are a proudly disinterested
lot. Cut their hair off! Put 'em in uniforms! That'll straighten 'em
out! But I'm getting off the track .... back to the bus lists!
A
favorite move is to sign up one's friends (and enemies).
This is pretty pointless, though, because the whole deal is reciproc:,.I,
and everybody winds up on the list, regardless. It's better to stick
to conventional sources, such as th~ comics, current events, the
entertainment
world,
and
the like

The faculty, of course, is rarely
forgotten, always managing to place a few representatives. on the
lists. Then, I regret to confess, there the people who con1ure up
fictitious pseudonyms which, upon close examination, and often
on first glance, prove to be cleverly obscene. This has no place in
a
Catholic college. What's \Vorse, though, is that few of these

DUTCHESS CONTEST
As reported in the last issue of
the Circle the annual Dutchess
County Weightlifting Champ-
ionships were to be held at
Marist, again this year. Well, on
Saturday April 2 the event took
place and it was a great success.
Although the Marist team lost
the team title to the Freedom
Plains club
we took either first
or second in every class except
that of Heavyweight. The final
score was Marist 22 and Free-
dom Plains 24.
The first place winners for
Marist were Chuck Howlett in
the 123 lb. class and Rick Dan-
owski in the 148 lb. class. Chuck
had a total of 315 and Rick fin-
ished
with
500 even. The four
other lifters from Marist who
finished the meet all placed sec-
ond in their classes. They were
Tony Morell in the 132 lb. class,
Mike Ward at 165, Joe Cher-
epowich, 181, and Frank Hemp-
