An historical tour of colonial
landmarks has been ~cl~eduled
by Bro. Edward Cashin for the
three-day holiday weekend be-
.
ginning Saturday, October 29th.
The bus tour will be open to all
the members of
·Bro ..
Cashin's
course in American Colonial His-
tory as a
supplement to the
course, with the purpose of stim-
ulating interest in Colonial her-
itage and making it more mean-
ingful.
WHERE THE ACTION IS.
Included in the tour will be
visits to Lexington, Concord,
and Boston, where a walking
tour of the old section of the
city will be conducted. Spend-
ing the night at a Boston motel,
the excursion will continue on to
Plymouth, touching at the fam-
ous "Rock" and on the Plymouth
Plantation, an early Puritan
community. Stopping at Cape
Cod, Bro. Edward will
try
to
prove his belief in Pohl' s theory
that Lief Erikson established a
community there by
·
directing
the tour to different evidence
of such a possibility.
In line with
his interest in Viking landmarks,

asserted that one can only re-

worth of history when he places
himself in the true setting

time, and feels himself a part of
the experience. "Americans are

Mr. Petro,
Meet. Marist.
The Physical Edµcation Dept.
of Marist College has increased
its staff with the arrival of Mr •
Ronald Petro. The new instruct-
or who received his
B.S. in Phys.
ical Education from Manhattan
College in 1963 resides in Yonk-
ers, New York.
During
his
undergraduate
studies at Manhattan, Mr. Petro
was on the Honor Roll and was
placed in
Who's Who in Ameri-
can Colleges
and Universities.
A member of the 1962 and 1963
Metropolitan
All Star Team and
the 1963 Eastern College All
Star Team, Mr. Petro played
Basketball for three years at
Manhattan where he set
a
scor-
ing record for a
22
game season.
The new Physical Education In-
tructor, who will also coach Var-
sity Basketball and Tennis, has
the distinction of being one of
six players at Manhattan to ever
score 1,000 points.
Mr. Petro received his M.S.
in Physical Education from
Pennsylvania State University in
1964 after being awarded a. two
year assistantship upon gradu-
ation from Manhattan.
Director of Athletics, Dr.
Howard Goldman, commenting
.
upon
Mr ..
f>etro's
.
appointmen':,
.
stated: " .. Mr. Petro will be
a
very welcome addition to our
staff. He is a very conscientious
young man and as a coach of
our Varsity Basketball team
should be able to make good
use of the ground work laid by
Paul Arold over the last two
years"
.
When asked if the adjustment
from high school to college
coaching would pose any prob-
lems, Mr. Petro replied that he
thought it would be easier be-
cause of the older age and mat-
urity of the players. He intends
to use a man to man defense
and a zone press.
All students are welcome
to
try
out for the
·
team. All players
will start on an even level and
positions will be won on the
basis of performance and spirit.
He would also like to see plenty
of student support.
Mr. Petro, married and
the
father of an infant daughter,
taught physical education and
coached Basketball and Baseball
at Irvington High School prior
to his appointment at Marist.
Since it would be next to
impossible for our enormous
staff to know about all the
events on this campus, it
would be appreciated if all
the organizations on campus
would please submit a calen-
dar of events
to The Circle,
Box
857,
Chamna~nat. This
appeal is also directed
to all
the department chairmen.
In this way and in this way
only can we give you the cov-
erage that you deserve.

REVOLUTION
The right to participate and
vote in the election of officers to
the Student
·
Governent was
granted to the student Brothers
at
a
special meeting of the Stu-
dent Council on the evening of
September 22.
The meeting opened with Bob
Johnson, President of the Stu-
. dent Council, asking Ed Ham-
mond to read the proposed new
article and then there followed
an "open discussion" of the new
article and its
consequences.
Present at t~e meeting were five
student Brothers; three of them,
Brothers Mike Marotti, Jim
Schroeder and Ray Heslin repre-
senting the scholastics living at
Marist College and two, Brothers
John Mulligan and Jack Kelly
representing the "day-hop" Bro-
thers residing at Academy Street
_
in Poughkeepsie. They tried al-
though they all stressed they did
not in any way attemrit to rep-
resent the Student Brothers as a
whole but came rather as
"inter-
ested spectators".
to
both answer
any questions which the Student
Council posed to them and also
to take part in the actual dis-
cussion.
The discussion entered
a-
round
-
two main points: the fear
of a block vote by the Brothers
and the right of participation in
the student elections by the stu-
·
Brothers community. From
the
very start of Jhe discussion, the
validity of the question of the
activity fee was deemed to be
irrelevant.
As for the block vote theory,
it was pointed out that this ar-
gument overlooked each of the
student
:
-Brothei::-'s own individ-
uality; in actuality, the student
Brothers represente_d a very
small percentage (less than 5%)
on the campus.
The Theatre

Guild elections were used to
further elucidate this "problem."
In those elections, two Brothers
ran for different offices; one was
elected while the other was de-
feated.
Throughout the meeting, the
"value" question permeated most
of
the discussion. One member
of the Student Council wanted
to know just what Marist was
to gain by allowing the student
Brothers the right to vote. It
was pointed out that there were
many Brothers activelv engaged
in various College clubs, both
as members and as officers. In
the same line, one of the Bro-
thers pointed out "that here we
are, just like you, going to the
same school, living on the same
campus, participating
in the
same club
activities and yet
somehow feeling like 'second-
class citizens.' How can this be
justified? By a petty objection
about non-payment of an activ-
ity fee, or some other obscure
reason?'It seems like we have to
merit
the right to vote!"
By resolving these difficulties,
the Student Council took a great
step forward. Their action will
have great implications for the
FUTURE.
men for the IDniks, explained
their greivences to the Dean,
who pointed out that they were
interfering with the operation
of the school. After·some discus-
sion, it was decided that the dis-
senters should take their issue
to the Student Government
meeting that night.
At the meeting, it was immed-
iately evident that the problem
was one of communications: the
Administration and the Student
Council were not working in
concert! The Council pointed
out that it had allocated funds
($1,000.00)
for identification

.Mississippi (CPS) - In a pre-
cedent-setting case, the prose-
cution of a Mississippi State Uni-
versity student for refusing to
pay his campus tickets has been
dismissed.
Leslie C. Cohen, a Canadian
political science student at MSU,
balked when the academic insti-
tution imposed $20 in parking
fines without a hearing.
When the University threat-
ened him with dismissal and state
court action unless fines were
paid, Cohen went to the Lawyers
Constitutional Defense Commit-
tee of the American Civil Liber-
ties Union.
While the case was before the
U.S. District Court, the State
Attorney General, representing
the Universitv, conceded that the
regulations ~hich were prom-
ulgated by MSU and their man-
ner of enforcement were null
and void.
The University dropped its
charges a·gainst Cohen and the
Mississippi statute came under
the consideration of a three-
judge federal court.
Alvin Bronstein, LCDC chief
counsel, said he has already re-
ceived requests for particulars
on the case from legal depart-
ments of several universities.
This
Summer
Seventeen student brothers
from Marist spent three after-
noons a week this summer work-
ing· with the children from Hill-
crest Academy, which is part of
the State Hospital.
The brothers have partici-
pated in tutorial programs at
Hillcrest for the last two years
but this is the first year that they
contributed heavily to the hos-
pitals summer program. Their
goal was to augment the regular
recreational staff and try to de-
velop friendly personal relations
with the children. This was done
by a variecy of means: hiking,
swimming,
ball-playing
and
wrestling. The fine art of listen-
ing to endless jokes was also
mastered by the brothers. The
children went on several outings
during the summer
.
to the Cat-
skill Game Farm, Baird
·
Park
and to the brothers novitiate in
Esopus,
N.Y.
The most memor-
able outing however was a two-
day camping
.
trip to Eymard
Seminary ·from which the child-
ren emerged refreshed and vi-
brant and the brothers came
home haggard and near exhaus-
tion.
This should
give you some
idea of how one of the brother's
social projects is conducted. The
_nagging question that always
remains however is "do the
children genuinely
.
profit from
your efforts?" or "Do you profit
from this experience?" These
are difficult questions to answer
because such results cannot be
adequately measured. Perhaps
the best rational for the bro-
thers work in Hillcrest is simply
that
a
nee
_
d exists and they try
to fill it. When they drive up and
the children start mobbing the
car and shouting at the too of
their lungs that "The brothers
are here," and when this enthu-
siasm never seems to die down
until the brothers leave, then
perhaps
.
the only rational need-
ed is the basic one of trying to
creaite some happiness where
before it may not have been. .
.. A Full
Sum1ne1·
Summer, a traditional period
for fun and frolic, has under-
gone a metamorphosis for many
a Marist College student. Edu-
cational fees for the coming aca-
demic years have impelled the
student to seek employment in
order to defray the impending
costs of his college career.
Marist College has been allo-
cated $40,867 for use in the work
-study program initiated un-
der the :Higher Education Act of
1965, commonly known as EOA
( Economic Opportunity Act).
During the summer months, stu-
dents majoring in Biology, Math,
Physics, Psychology and other
fields were provided work in
conjuction with projects propos-
ed by instructors of their various
departments.
Charles DiSogra found the
raw materials for his experiments
in the Biology laboratory. This
Marist Junior researched can-
cerous tumors found in the var-
ious species of fruit flies. His
studies were aimed at discover-
ing the cheipical inducing agents
and the variations of light and
darkness in relation to the fre-
quency of tumors in these flies.
Mr. DiSogra's project will at-
tempt to reveal the possible haz-
ardous effects of carbon dioxide
on flies infected with the can-
cer virus.
A five-man team of 4 Physics
·
majors and 1 Math major pre-
sided over the Physics labora-
tory under the able_ direction of
Bro. Brian Desilets. The basic
occupation of these students was
the creation and testing of new
experiments for the regular phy-
sics classes of this fall. Patrick
Hoffman,
an honor physics
student, served as the team
theorist. The transformation of
theory into practice was the
work of Nes Bojarczuk and Pat
Masterson. These students, skill-
ed electricians, then proceeded
to fabricate the needed equip-
ment from Mr. Hoffman's rough
plan. Chris Tasevoli served as the
team's electrical specialist invol-
ved in making particular equip-
ment for Br. Desilets. The team's

The Junior class r~presenta-

a
letter of resignation from the
Student. Government. The resign-
ation was prompted by the fact
that Mr. Morrison is working
part-time and has a heavy load
of studies. He feels he would not
be able to devote full time to
his duties as representative. His
resignation was accepted by the
Council effective September 28,
1966.
George McKee, Treasurer of
the Student Government, who
has accepted a position in the
campaign of Hamilton Fish Jr.,
Repuhlician party candidate for
_Congress, has also offered a let-
ter of resignation from the Coun-
cil effective October 1, 1966. Mr.

ses would preclude his fullfilling
of his function as Treasurer.

If the above names don't click -
i.e. subectively speaking -
you might be anti-intellectual, then again, you might be normal.
Actually,. in this brief, concise, and "to-the-point" essay nobody
is being attacked ( maybe they won't accept this column), but
rather I am trying singlehandedly, to tear down the entire structure
of academic philosophy, theology and economics because I have
an extreme distaste for it but a liberal arts education tells me I need
a well-rounded three credits).
I feel that there is a tendency to parasite all our thoughts from
the "in" books, from the "in" names. We can ramble fluently through
intricate theories; are able to differentiate subtle overtones; realize
minute distinctions; and spot flaws in logic. Throughout our colleg-
iate days we are never caught wi~hout our ant-hologies of great
writings or our bibliographies of "great" names ( depending unon
specific course and teacher). Plus, we always manage to ever really
give a damn; don't lose your cool, 007.
I think the philosophies that we really hold as important are
more crude -
more in the muck of what we are. Our standards
don't come in nice
,
neat, academic packages. Neither is our spectrum
of reality sugar coated with euphemistic phrases of "ontological"
relationships. What we believe to be true is more common, almost
trite; and our truths nm the gamut from the sacred to the sick in
a sweating world of. suffering. A "here and now" of sin
,
humor, hate,
tenderness
,
jadeness, integrity.
Bufferin is better than God " - it relieves tension and nervous-
ness, adds to our security, and is always available.

The point is that in our search for wisdom, truth

God ( if we
even consider these worth searching for) we should start with the
society that's around us: the people, the accepted norms, the ac-
cepted. deviations, the fanatic, the lethargic, the craphead, the
genius.
We shouldn't retreat to our ivy tower of the intellect; keeping
our distance, purity, etc
.
but losing revelance! Academic studies be
useful in stretching our narrowmindedness, but we could also be-
come a bunch
of
"nowhere men".

BIRDBRAIN
I live with a bird.
Early in my life I was intro-
duced to the difference in birds.
Pidgeons were to feed in the
park on Sunday; sparrows ate
the bread my mother put in the
yard; my parakeet made loud
schreeching sounds ( my father
hated that bird); and canaries
sang ve:ry nicely on Saturdays
when we went to my aunt's

that served a purpose:
they
made people happy with their

music. Canaries
_
were not only
pretty, but they were also, I felt
happy and their happiness was
contageous.
I no longer like these birds

best he can do now, though,
is to sit on the desk.

G~TTYSBURG ADDRESS

l\fah fellow Americans:
Foah score and seven yeahs ago, my grandfather brought forth
upon this continent of Asia a new political concept, conceived in
expediency and dedicated to the proposition that we are better dead
than red.
Now we are engaged in a Great Society ( oops,
l mean a Great
Civil War), and for that matter have been engaged in that Great
Civil Vlar for four score and seven years now, testing whether that
concept so ill-conceived and so ineptly executed, can long endure
.
We are met on a great battlefield of that war, a .battlefield
where
.
General Ky was overthrown by General Hee, where General
Hee was overthrown by General Me, where General Me was over-·
thrown by General \Vee
,
where General Wee was overthrown by
Genral Gee, and so forth through the 56 different coups that finally
culminated last spring in G
e

are now convinced is in a position
to
bring to this nation the political
stability that is so necessary if we are to begin to effectively roll
back the aggression from the north.
Excuse me folks, I just received an urgent note. ( Oh no, not

culminated in General She's coup three minutes ago which we are
finally convinced is in a position to at last offer this nation ·the
political stability that is. . .
Hmmrph. Be that as it may. ·we have come to dedicate this
battlefield as a fitting memorial to the light-to-moderate losses that
our forcf's have sustained over the past 87 years so that my grand-
father and his successors could t

I DON'T CARE WHY WE ARE HERE! THE POINT IS WE ARE

MARIST SPEAKS
In this age of transition, there is considerable anxiety on the
part of the American people concerning the hurried nature of the
change and the ,apparent nature of our civilization when the inno-
vators have had their way. We are slapping together a new world

time alloted to the forethought coincident with an orderly changing

AU
in the name of progress! That alterations are _Dec-
,essary, as well as imminent, is not debated; but the concur.rent anx-
iety is not unfounded. The future we build for our posterity and the
need for such chaotic impetuosity are both subject to challenge.
History not only teaches us our origins and accomplishments
but aids us in interpreting the past and present experience of man
in terms of future expectations.
As
we accelerate along the highway
of life, with 'progress' and 'truth' our goal, and human dignity
our fuel, let us consider the historical sign-posts as they whiz by.
Given the lessening of mora1ity, the breakdown of the family as a
. functioning social unit, the substitution of vulgarity for originality
. in the esthetic sphere, and the idolotrous trend toward economic
materialism, we discover the cowering intellectual trying to justify
the unjustifiable. The question, "quo vadis" is. valid. Whether pol-
itics, "the highest endeavor of man"?
Politics in America has evolved into a bureaucratic structure,
at once personal and impersonali, steeped
in
patronage, yet imper-
vious to the true need of citizenry! The vacillation of the state gov-
ernments is considered sufficient authority for the centralization of
functions of government - - a legal justification, perhaps, but not
necessarily moral. We now have 300,000 U.S. troops fighting in Viet
Nall!, yet the President has not felt it incumbent upon himself to
ask Congress to validate this action. The leadefship of the liberal
element has abused the trust of the negro vote by attempting to
legislate an integrated society while .ignoring the fact that segrega-
tion is but an after-effect of the true problem: miscegenation! The
Federal Government, by silence, has condoned and encouraged
rioting, thus failing an essential purpose of government - - to main•
tain law and order. The Federal Government, in trying to outpace
the changes, gives rise to the fear that such phenomena of the left
as fascism or communism may be generated here in this country.
If
the Federal Government were to devote itself to tempei;ing
the magnitude of the change, the resultant colloquy between new

To slip back into reality (
with
a capital R), we seem to be hav-
ing some problems with the Stu-
dent Government and the fate
of
our recently raised . _activity
fee. The great majority of Mar-
ist students are in a mad frenzy
about where the money is going,
and why there and not some-
place else.
We could alwavs hide behind
the relative security of "You can
please some of the people some
of the time . . . etc.," but such
platitudes do not always suffice.
So, we must ask ourselves what
our problem really is.
"Selves, what is our problem,
really?"
It may be a distorted sense of
values. The S.G. receives some
twenty thousand dollars of the
activity and uses the money as
it sees fit. Some of it goes into
dances, bus rides for girls, I.D.
cards, movies, and lectures. The
yearbook is now on its own, or
rather, on the student ( which
makes the activity fee $37.50, ·
and·' the I.D. cards were almost
the student's burden, too ..
But whose responsibility is it?
If
the student body is constantly
at odds with the Student Govern-
ment, it must be because ·some-·
one made bad choices during the
last election. Electing an official ·
representative is only half· the
average
student's obligation.
Often enough, people, e11pecially
college people, have to be prns-
sured into doing somethin)i; for
anyone but the~selves. This is
especially true with small scale,
big-shot politicians. Perhaps
S.G.
past will finally.have a profound
effect on S.G. future.

I would like to express my con-
. cern over an aspect of campus
life which has not received the
serious thought it deserves either
from students or faculty .
Each fall I have been distres-
sed by the practice of freshman
hazing, not only by the inanities
it produces but by the callous-
ness to human feeling it actively
exhibits. This past week fresh-
man hazing struck me as partic-
ularly disturbing and particu-
larly out of place at Marist Col-
lege. I could not help but see an
enormous and disheartening in-
congruity between the thought-
full exploration of educational
purposes and goals which were
part of the orientation week for
freshmen and the childishly
im-
mature and, at points, cruel be-
havior of those who were carry-
ing out the hazing program.
During orientation week, fresh-
men were asked to consider the
liberal arts education as a hu-
manizing experience, as an ed~

ual - toward a richer and deep-

freshmen were exposed to a so-
called Marist tradition which
Jinks college fun and college

pose conformity, to the _humili-
ation of individuals, to the exer-
cise of oppressive power, and
to the p1:inciple that "we upper-
classmen got it last year or the
year before so you freshmen will
get it now". Isn't it bitterly ironic
that the thoughtful and morally
sensitive freshmen must suffer
ostracism for refusing to submit
to indignities and humiliations?
Hazing is hardly the way to
translate into action the academ-
ic and human ideal~ so movingly
enunciated by administrators,
faculty, and students _during the
week before classes, what is
more, this practice strikes me as
totally incompatible with the
purposes of Marist as a relig-
iously affiliated college, with
the lofty spirit of the Marist .
Brotherhood, and with the dem- ,
ocratic ideals we espouse.
I sh·ongly recommend that '
the Faculty Camvus ·Life Com-
mittee study the appropriate-
ness of hazing at Marist and that :
it involve representative students
in serious discussion and anal-
ysis of this activity.
I know students will say that
Harvard, Yale, and other pres-
tigious institutions conduct haz-
ing activities, that hazing fosters
· manliness and group solidarity,
that the freshmen themselves en-
jov this introduction to college
life, and that it is all good clean
fun. To this I would reply that
Marist's future cannot lie in be-
ing imitative of other -institu-
tions; its aim must be to exoloit
oooortunities for meaningful and
principled individuality. Group
solidarity can surely be achieved
through more mature means; and
if
manliness is wh:it hazing in-
culcates, then we need seriously
to
reconsider what it means to
be a man. As for the enjoyment
and good clean fun, I can only
say that
if
a single freshman is
humiliated or coerced, directly
or indirectly, into behavior that
offends a man's dignity and
sense of decency, then hazing
can have no justification.
The following statement con-
cludes the section "Hazing" in
the recent student government
publication
Arrow:
"Any Frosh
failing to comply with these rules
will be ostricized. . . and con-
sidered unfit for college life."
I think some confusion exists
about the qualities that equii;

Dear Editor,
It is an absurd contradiction
that a letter of this nature must
be addressed to the editor of a
college newspaper. However, a
serious situation has arisen on
this campus that must be recti-
fied immediately; namely, the
disgraceful condition of our caf-
eteria at mealtime.
There seems to be several dis-
tinct schools of thought with
regard to justifying the very sim-
ple act of getting up and leaving
one's mess on the table.
First, there is the archaic and
meaningless excuse that "\\
7
e're
paying enough - why should we
clean up?" This is self-defeating
in view of the fact that we ac-
cept this very responsibility.
Too, Vassar College students,
who pay easily twice what we
do for meals, not only cooperate
one hundred percent in bussing
their tables but also, each spends
six weeks a year helping in the
dish room.
Secondly, we hear moans of
those unhappy
students who
claim that "The food is terrible,
so why should we aid and abet
such atrocity?" The refutation
of such childish nonsense is ob-
vious. The quality of the food is
in no way related to the kitchen
employees, who spend an hour
after every meal cleaning the
tables. This represents a cost to
us of twenty-five dollars a day,
or one hundred and seventy five
dollars a week. Furthermore, any
student with a legitimate com-
plaint has recourse through the
Council-appointed Food Com-
mittee.
If one of the purposes of Mar-
ist College is, as stated, "to de-
velop a social awareness . . . .
which will guide him in the ser-
vice of his fellow-man", we are
sadly deficient. Let us develop
some semblance of responsible
behavior before we find us with
an incurable delemma on our
hands.
Yours truly,

On Saturday night, October
8th, the M:irist Vikings avenged
last year's two defeats at the
hands of the Seton Hall Pirates,
dominating both offensive and
defensive olay enroute to hand-
ing the Pirates a 22-15 defeat.
The Viking defense was stun-
ned by a 56 yard touchdown
burst on the first plav from
scrimmage and a
16 yard scor-
ing toss later in the first period,
but for· the remainder of the
game completely ov.erpowered
the Pirate offense. As a result,
the Marist offensive unit main-
tained control of the ball for
most of the second quarter and
the better part of the second
half, running
70 plays to Seton
Hall's 44.
With the crowd still filling
in Seton Hall took the opening

line. Seconds later the Pirates
posted their first score as half-
back Jim Rusignerolo took a
handoff and raced 52 yards to
the Viking end zone. 'I:he con-
