MARIST COLLEGE
FACULTY VOTES ON
CLASS ATTENDANCE
For Marist Students
On Friday, February
11,
the
Faculty, acting in formal Plenary
Session, voted by a majority of
almost
2
to
1
to adopt a new at-
titude toward absences.
This
attitude, perhaps best summar-
ized in the phrase "responsible
attendance," will go into effect
for the current semester. Essen-
tially, the system places the total
responsibility for attendance at
class squarely on the individual
student.
It
is he who must pass
each course through an under-
standing of the materials pre-
sented in the course; it is he who
is "responsible" for
all
of the
matter and assignments of the
course. Further explanation of
the system will shortly be forth-
coming from both Brother John
Shea and the individual instruc-
tors. The text of the motion
passed by the faculty last Fri-
.
day
follows:· - ··
.,
· · · ·
"Regular dass attendance is
a primary responsibility for all
students since perhaps the most
meaningful experiences promo-
ting the realization of the pur-
poses for which Marist exists
are achieved through thoughtful
considerations and discussions
provoked by classroom lectures.
Failure to participate fully in
classroom activity cannot help
but result in a loss for the stu-
dent. Absences from class for
whatever reasons or duration do
not, therefore, free the student
from the responsibility for the
full content of the courses and
for all class assignments.
"Irregularities in attendance
on the part of the Freshmen will
be brought to the attention of
the Dean. Appropriate
action
will be taken to make them a-
ware of their responsibilities in
this rtgai-&" ··
PEACE CORPS
TO
VISIT CAMPUS
A represenative from the Peace Corps will visit Marist College
on Monday, February 28.
Miss Roxane Foley, a returned Peace Corps Volunteer from
Malaysia will be on campus to explain the Peace Corps, its training
and service programs, and the opportunities it offers students. They
will also accept applications.
Art Reception
by Ray ::itewart
Sunday, February 22 saw
Marist College's largest Art
Show Reception take place in
the Student Center. The group
exhibition entitled "Out of 210"
had a marvelous turnout of ap-
proximately a hundred and fifty
people, from the college itself
and the neighboring area.
The works represented the
artistic endeavors of Mrs. Fish-
er, Mrs. Eva Plaut, Mr. Teich-
man, Mrs. Solomon and many
of the students from Art Work-
shop.
The three most dominant
mediums in the exhibition were
collage & painfting which all
Marist Students are so familiar
with, and sculpture
an
innova-
tion on campus by Mr. Teich-
man.

Students Off To Model U. N.
by Al May
At 12:15 am Feb.9, eightMar-
ist College students boarded a
train and left for the University
Model United Nations in Mon-
treal, Canada. Prior to the de-
parture of these students, mem-
bers of the Marist College
Young Republicans Club, a re-
ception was held for them at the
college with Mrs. Hamilton Fish,
jr., as the guest of honor. She
is a former resident of Montreal
and wife of Hamilton Fish, jr.,
Republican candidate for Con-
gress in the 28th district.
Marist is one of the only eight
colleges in the United States to
attend his event, along with such
colleges as Georgetown, Yale,
and West Point. This is Marist's
second year at this event. This
year Marist sent delegations
representing Turkey and Pak-
istan. The Turkish delegation is
made uo of Peter Walsh, John
Zottoli, Peter Higgins, and Wil-
liam Skula. The Pakistani del-
egation is Richard Cam, Peter
Petrocelli, George McKee, and
Robert Scott.
The delegates were well per-
pared for the trip before they
got on the train.
In
order to
properly represent their respect-
ive countries, they not only did
research on their own but visit-
ed the United Nations and the
Turkish and Pakistani Embass-
ies in the United States. Mrs.
Fish further helped them pre-
pare in her informal talk by giv-
ing them such information as
what weather to expect and
where to go for a g@od meal.
She also outlined various points
of interest in Montreal and told
of the attitudes of Canadians
for Americans.
The Model United Nations is
run and sponsored by the Inter-
national Relations Clubs of the
University of Montreal, McGill
University, and
George-Will-
iams University.
Marist and the other partici-
paiing colleges hope to foster
an appreciation for the United
Nations in this way.

varied and imaginative concerns
of the individual artists who are
not catering to the taste of the
public but rather their own.
This independance, which is the
expression of personal reflect-
ion gains significance in the
'doing', this 'act of creation.'
The act is typical of today, in
keeping with the times expressed
in the Futurism, Cubism, Sur-
realism; of Picasso, Kandinsky,
Klee and others. Just as typical
as was Litian, Michaelangelo,
and others of their respective
times.

MARIST DAY
REVIEWED
by Dennis Lammens ··
The purpose of Marist Day is
to acquaint different high schools
with Marist. Juniors and sen-
iors from various schools are in-
vited up for a day to inspect
the campus. The students who
come are permitted to sit in on
classes, visit the dorms. . . with
a traditional look at "Rocco's
Room", and eat in the cafeteria.
It is felt that this is the only
way a true close-up picture of
Marist can be obtained by fu-
ture students.
The students, upon arriving,
are greeted and introduced to
Marist by Brother Edward L.
Cashin, F..M.S., the academic
Vice - President, and also by
several class officers and stu-
dent government members.
The Committee Chairman of
Marist Day is
Mr.
Kenneth
France-Kelly, under the guid-
ance of Brother Cashin.
On Past Marist Davs held
this
semester, the
following
schools were in attendance:
Christ The King, St. Mary's,
and Mount St. Michael's. The
students who came showed
great enthuisiasm and were ap-
preciative for a first hand
glimpse of college
life.
There
were three such Marist Days
last semester, and it is hoped
that there will be at least two
more this semester.
The success of Marist Day
is attributed to the Men of Mar-
ist, the willing co-operation of
the orofessors, and to those who
worked so hard organizing it.

· A· U"IVERSITY OR A COLLEGE?
by Jack Bocne
Many Seniors in high school
every year wonder whether to
go to
a
University with ifs many
schools or go to a small college
where the enrollment never rea-
ches the
2,000
mark. Just trans-
fering to Marist College myself
from the largest Catholic Univer-
sity in America, I can say that by
going from one extreme to the
other I can make a comparison,
or by ~oing in the opposite
di-
rection I can show the difference.
This ''largest Catholic Univer-
sity in America", of course, is St.
John's University in New York
City. At St. John's I was a num-
ber. My report card was num-
bered, and even my I.D. card
had the number. As a matter of
fact, the number was larger in
print than my name. But here at
Marist College I became a name,
I became a someone, and not a
number that goes through an
I.B.M. machine. And speaking
of I.B.M. machines, that's how
our tests were marked by I.B.M.
machines. After the tests were
marked
and tabulated,
the
I.B.M. machine would give the
teacher the grade and the grade
in
tum would be posted on the
wall.
And how would we find
our marks? By looking for our
number, of course.
But at marist we use an in-
trull).ent called a "pen" which
has some soft fluid in it called
"ink".
I
didn't know they made
those things. I thought all that
was made were lead graphite
pen~ils. And the marks are giv-
en out by· human beings, act-
ually written by them. At St.
John's my card was "untouched"
by human hands." I can't say
that a University is· all bad. Be-
cause whell! you go to a Univer-
sity,
especially St. John's, you
can choose courses ranging from
Elementary Education to pre-
law or Pharmacy. But at a small
college you are somewhat limit-
ed to one course, in this case
Liberal Arts. And at a Univer-
sity you meet people who are
taking all sorts of subjects. You
could be talking to a future
doctor or nurse, or a future art-
ist.
The one major problem fac-
_ing all Universities today and
especially St. John's is the prob-
lem of the faculty and what they
teach. At St. John's the faculty
number rose to
750
but declined
to about
700
with some of the
teachers going out on strike.
I
think the Universig, should have
a firmer grip on the teachers
and a closer relationship with
them. This is impossible in a
large University, and the admin-
istration doesn't know what the
teacher is teaching. But here at
Marist where. you have only a
small faculty, the Administration
faculty relationship is benefi-
cial to the students.
Many i,tudents
will
ask "what
about the social life?" As far as
my experience holds, at St. John's
you knew more people because
there was more people to know.
But on the other hand you could
walk the ..::impus and see on3
new face every day for four
years and still know only about
one third of the students by
sight only. Here at Marist there
is only one "Buddah" ( a large
one at that), there is only one
"dff"
d"X"
d
1
u er, an
, an on y one
"cougar".
The one big difference here
is the dorm life. St. John's was
a commuting school and you
would arrive at
9
and leave at
3
every day for four years. This
to some people is fine, but if
you really . want to learn about
people you have to live with
them. I've been here only a week
and a half and boy I've learned
quite a bit.
A University or
a
college?
Only you can decide that.
UNITED STARTS
PILOT DRIVE
A
program whereby "zero
time" pilot applicants - - those
with no flying experience - - can
qualify for training as a United
Air
Lines flight officer was an-
nounced today by Charles M.
Mason, senior vice presiden~-
personnel.
Mason said the expansion of
United's Pilot Advance Accep-
tance Program (PAAP) was
aimed at male college graduates
between 20 and
25
with no flight
time or with less than the 40
hours needed for a private pilot's
license. Successful applicatants
will be assured of a slot at Uni-
ted's Flight Training Center in
Denver upon obtaining on their
own the required private and
commercial pilot licenses at a
Federal Aviation Agency-appro-
ved school within one year.
If
needed, a liberal financing
plan has been arranged by Uni-
ted through a Chicago bank.
Loans of up to
$3,000
are avail-
able and repayment would not
not start until the pilot has com-
pleted United's
17
week flight
training course.
A
commercial
license - -
165
hours· - - generally
represents a
$2,500
investment.
The nation's largest airline,
confronted with an unpreceden-
ted increase in air travel and a
fleet which will grow to
309
jets
by
1970,
announced last Novem-
ber that it needs
1,600
more
pilots over the next two years.
United also has two other pro-
grams - - one for applicants who
have
both licenses, but lack an
instrument rating and another
for pilots who meet all qualif-
ications. United bears the ex-
pense of instrument rating in-
struction.
Mason emphasized that the
hiring of ''low time" pilots does
not represent a lowering of stn-
dards. United still hires only one
out of 20 applicants who meet
the basic requirments: U.S. or
Canadian citizenship, height 5
feet 7 to 6 feet 4, excellent phy-

south, west, southwest, and mid-

Jobs In Europe For The Summer
Job opportunities in Europe this summer ... Work this summer
in the forests of Germany, on construction in Austria, on farms in
Germany, Sweden and Denmark, on road construction in Norway.
Well there are these jobs available as well as jobs in Ireland,
Switzerland," England, France, Italy
1
and Holland are open by the
consent of the govemm.ents of these countries to American univer•
sity students coming to Europe the next summer.
For some years students made their way across the Atlantic
to take part in the actual life of the people of these countries. The
succes of this project_has caused a great deal of enthusiastic inter-
est and support both in America and Europe.
Every year, the program has
been expanded to include many
more students and jobs. Already,
many students have made ap-
plication
for
next summer jobs.
American-European Student Ser-
vice ( on a non-profitable basic
is offering these jobs to students
for Germany, Scandinavia, Eng-
land, Austria, Switzerland,
Italy,
France and Spain. The jobs con-
sist of forestry work, child care
work ( females only), farm work,
hotel work ( limited number av-
ailable), construction work, and
some other more qualified jobs
requiring more specialized train-
ing.
The puroose of this program is
to afford the student an opoor-
tunity to get into real living
conditions with the peoole and
customs of Europe.
In
this way,
a concrete effort can be made
to Ieam something of the cult-
ure of Europe. In return for his
or her work, the student will
receive his or her room and
board, plus a wage. However,
students should keep in mind
that they will be working on
the
European economy and wages
will naturally be scaled accord-
ingly. The working conditions
(hours, safety, regulations, legal
protection, work permits) will
be
;trictly controlled by the labor
ministries of the counties invol-
ved.
In most cases, the employers
have requested especially for
American students. Hence, they .
are particularly interested in the
student and want to make the
work as interesting as possible.
They are all informed of the
intent of the program, and will
help the student all they can in
deriving themost from his trip
to Europe.

Art And Artist
The media of artistic expres-
sion, as represented in the art
workshop, provides the individ-
ual with an opportunity
for-
the
self expression, in an expanding
area, that the modern world has
denied to most people. At the
same time it enriches the com-
munity
with
the varying aspects
of art.
An artist, or student of ar··.
has an available source of self
expression, such as literature
and music.
Yet
art itself provides
an area of experimentation; an
area that is lacking in literature
and in music. The artist paints
the world as he sees it. An art
workshop provides the student
with the media for his own in-
terpretation
of
the world around
him.
While providing the source of
self-expression, the art workshop
also provide-s the opportunity
for the community to view the
works of the talents in its midst.
Through -activities such ias this,
the community grows along with
the individual artist.
Art itself provides a source
of self accomplishment for the
people who participate in it.
The artist is able to more fully
express his own talent.
Art
work-
shops, such as our own, serve a
double purpose: they are the an-
swer to the tensions built up by
the steady routine of classes and
they also tend to draw more stu-
dents into the world of art by
providing varv;ng forms for them
to study and discuss critically.

MARIST SPEAKS
For the past few years the students of Marist College have
asked for a more liberal "cut" policy than is now in existanec. Stu-
dents seeking elected office have vowed to "do all that their position
will permit" if elected to have the system revamped. We have per-
sisted in our quest and in doing so, we became a thorn in the side
of the administration. But now that long-awaited policy change has
arrived, and it nowl becomes the obligation of the student to see to
it that he does not abuse it.
Yet what does this new "cut" policy mean? Can we now proceed
to miss a class or two because there will be no one watching over us
or checking our attendance record? Are we now free to be absent
from class at will? or because the weather is a little to our disliking?
or because we stayed up nearly all night to play cards or pool or
throw the bull around? Undoubtly the answer is a flat NOi
How true that answer is. The administration,
I
think, now feels
that as students we are supposed to attend class and as men we
should be responsible enough to do so. Common sense should dic-
tate the necessity of attending classes in Math, Physics, Chemistry,
or Biology; if we fall behind in these courses, perhaps we can never
catch up. In some other courses, however, since the material covered
in class is also covered in the
·course
textbook and in the outside
reading assignments, the student could pass should he fail to attend
some sessions. But in either case, it would not take too much for
the student to end up "behind the 8-ball" and on his way to another
school or, for that matter, the Army.
The administration and faculty. are treating us as grownups,
more so than ever before. The least we can do is thank them by at-
tending class. Forget about any personal reasons you might have
that will prevent you from attending class;
if
the weather bothers
you buy another sweater or
an
umbrella; get
a
plock that is equipped
with an alarm and set it in the evening so that you can get up at a
reasonable hour ( reasonable in the sense of early enough to make
class); get to bed early enough so that you can make class in the
morning or better still, register for afternoon classes if you find your-
self sleeping until lunch time; in other words,. act like the man the
administration feels you are and take on the responsibility of atten-
ding classes on a regular and daily basis.
The policy involving "cuts»has been changed to the benefit of
the student. However, it can just as easily be reversed
if
it is abused.
We have a responsibility and an obligation; they are complementary
and should not be viewed separately. Don't approach this liberal
policy with a lackadaisical attitude;
it
can either make you or break
you: Remember: it's Army green or Marist red and white.

And it came to pass early in
the morning toward the last day
of the semester, there arose a
multitude smiting their books
and wailing. And there was much
weeping and gnashing of teeth,
for the day of judgement was at
hand, and they were sore afraid.
For they had left undone those
things they ought to have done,
and had done those things which
they ought not have done, and
there was no help for it.
And there were many abiding
in the dorm who had kept watch
over their books all night, but
it availeth not. But some there
were who arose peacefully, for
they had prepared themeselves
the way and made straight the
paths of knowledge. And these
wise ones were known as the
burners of the midnight oil, and
by others they were called
"curve raisers."
And the multitude arose and
ate a hearty breakfast; and they
came into the appointed place,
and their hearts were bevy with-
in them. And they had come to

topic, in a thoroughly opinfoi:i-
ated and only perhaps interest-
ing column.
I
make no promises.
I
trust, however, that these
writings will be a diversion from
the trend of the majority of past
articles and several editorials
which have too frequently p~r:-
layed asininity and limited in-
terest into the type of reading
that would make the
Circle
de-
cidedlv more valuable if it were
distributed on a roll.
So, as
I
sit here in the. absolute
quiet of my room, listening to
my blood run,
I
wonder myself
just what kind of column this
will be. Who knows, it may de-
pend upon student reaction, or
merely on how
r
feel at the mo-
ment of writing. Although
I
shall
try to touch upon many facets
of the College, from fellow stu-
dents to the administration, from
facu)lty to courses, and from
Frank's to the Chapel, this is not
a mere criticism, in the sense that
I
am using my literary talents
to give vent to all my pent-up
collegiate frustrations, because
there
arc
not a great many areas
for disapproval in Marist to begin
with.
·
True, there's always the issue
of cafeteria fopd ( which is an
improvement over last year)' or
the cut system, or several ques-
tions more personal which pr()b•
ably wouldn't be allowed in print
anyway, but these topics are
better discussed at bull sessions
than in a newspaper
.All
I
can
say, in this "introduction", is that
"Off The Top" will be a commen-
tary, an opinion, a reaction to
criticism perhaps.
I
shall endea-
vor at all times· to be fair. to the
point, and uninhibited. We shall
see.
CAREERS DAY
Under the joint sponsorship
of the Knights 't>f Columbus and
the Senior Class, with the Guid-
ence Department, Marist Col-
lege will soon attempt a "new
approach" to career planning.
A career day featuring repre-
senatives of various major fields
will
be
held on this campus.
At
this
event, tentatively
scheduled for March 22, they
will have an opportunity to at-
tain information on the many
fields of employment available
in the world of industry and
government.
The committee in charge of
this has requested that all stu-
dents or faculty members, who
might be of aid to contact
John Palombo or John Skehan.

FROM THE Cl YE
by
J.
Barry
&
W. Zabicki
WeH, here we go again: new
semester, new topics, new stu-
dents on campus. In regard to
the latter, is closing our field-
house any way to show them
how their activity fee works for
them? Though a oardboard col-
isseum it
be,
it is filled with
tradition, most noteworthy being
the F.N.L. (Forelli Night Lea-
gue). Let's have our gym open
once again! At least it keeps us
off the streets, Mr. Athletic Di-
rectorll
It
is about time that
some space in our paper was de-
voed to the intramurals. Cur-
rently leading "B" division in
basketball are the C-Men ( car-
rot men?), closely followed by
Tom Murray's All-Stars, ancl the
Ovens are keeping the pot boil-
ing. The Rejects, possessers of a
21 game winning streak extend-
ing over a two-year period, are
the pace setters in "A" division.
They are being hard pressed by
Kiddim's Kittens, Bouzoomies,
F. D. L. and Bob Dylan's Des-
olution Row. It should be quite
a group of playoffs upcoming ..
Soon to follow the intramural
basketball season is the opening
day of the softball season. To
anyone interested in competing
in the latter sport, try to form a
team now before the quantity
of ballplayers diminishes.
.
Var-
sity basketball
is
slowly drawing
to the close of another season.
At the time of this writing, our
record stands at 4 c1nd 12 for the
season with 7 games remaining
on tap. Three of the seven are
home games. Wouldn't it be nice
if
you took the time out to see
one? ( Hunter College brings a
lot of females along, to those
concerned) .. In the spring most
young men turn to thoughts of
summer but a select few at
Marist turn their sights on the
Hudson. As soon as the ice melts
on the river, the rythmic sounds
of the crew team will echo over
the stilled valley at their morn-
ing practices. The crew will be
capped by the traditional Dad
Vail Regatta in Philly sometime
in early May but already prac-
tice has begun
..
A rumor spread-
ing around campus has a base-
ball team in the works for the
spring. We of the Cave have
been informed that 4 games are
scheduled for this season with
a tentative expansion to 16 for
next year.
If
rumor is true, we
wish to extend our best wishes
to the founders in their endeav-
ors to bring baseball to Marist.
We hope you have better luck
than was experienced in the
past .. The Football Club under
Bob Baily has begun a drive to
raise additional money for next
year. Pledge your key to the
club and enjoy another season
of
football against bigger name
oponents. Watch the Jasper tum
green again!! A tentative sched-
ule will be given as soon as we
have it ..
"ICE-OUT"
With well founded hopes for
an early thaw of the Hudson,
the Marist College Crew Team
is beginning its difficult train-
ing schedule this week. Diver-
sified P. T. and miles of running
are to be the regular fare of
those in pursuit of a seat, until
that fateful day of "ice-out."
Then early risers will hear the
familar crys of the coxswains
breaking the chilly stillness at
6 A. M. (shudder!)
But all the strain and pain
MARIST COLLEGE
wiU
be slightly allieviated by
the memory of our outstanding
victory in the "Autumn Gold
Regatta;'' The Frosh are evi-
dently intent on repeating their
Fall performance this spring by
maintaining a training schedule
through the off-season months.
Thanks for the effort, Frosh,
and look out Varsity - - they
could be tough!
Marks have taken their usual
toll of oarsmen, but the team
is not disspirited. The fio:htin~
five senior core is "hell-bent"
on making thei~ last season
the most successful one for Mar-
ist. Thev will be aided by some
who will provide the experience
and spirit when the "grads"
depart.
With practical confi-
dence, this looks like a good
year for the crew team.
INTRAMURAL
BASKETBALL
by
:a;;aui Rinn
While the winter has made
the campus a dormant scene,
·the intramural program has been
showing a great deal of life. As
expected, the Rejects and the
C-Men have dominated play by
being the only undefeated teams
in both leagues. This, of course,
was not done easily. In Division
A, The Rejects had to fight off
a strong Kiddem Kiddie team
who were short their two stars,
Tony Powers and Richie DePatri,
and then subdue a red-hot Des-
olation Row team before reach-
ing the 10-0 mark.
In Division B, the C-Men have
shown time and time again why
they are the team to beat. Dis-
playing a well-balanced offense
and strong board control, they
have forged an 8-0 record and
provided the spectators with the
most dramatic play of the season
when Richie Dickerman tapped
in a jump ball with five seconds
to go and beat a strong Oven
team 54-58 for first place. The
season has now
lasted three
I\J
months and soon will be sum-
mized with the playoffs. The C-
Men and the Rejects have both
earned the right to meet in the
finals for the title as a result of
their play. However, due to a
league rule, these two teams
must play teams that they have
already beaten in order to prove
their right to the finals. It is un-
neccesary. for these playoffs to
occur. This reporter can only
see a Reject, C-Men final and
feels that when the playoffs are
completed; that is the way the
finals will stand.
Forbes And Goegel
Off To
Boston
John Forbes and John Goe gel
are a special kind of athlete.
They are distance runners in a
school that doesn't seem to want
them. They are trackmen who
would be lauded at Villonova or
at St. John's but are limited to
near obscurity here at Marist.
They are two young men who
could gain our school recognition
on their own, had they the pro-
per training anrl coaching. They
have the finest attitude about
what they are doing and what
they are doing is this: on April
18th, they will journey to Boston
to compete in the Boston Mara-
thon. This is an event in which
just one colleg~ trackman has
ever finished in.

WRESTLING
by Bob Condon
Coming off its defeat at the
hands of Rutger's College of
New Jersey this past weekend,
the Marist College Wrestling
Team avenged itself to some de-
gree by overpowering Yeshiva
University of the Bronx.
It
was
a very impressive victory with
Marist winning 6, losing 2 and
tying one.
The team has the problem of
facing very
·stiff
oompetition,
but when matched with a school
of relatively equal caliber, it has
proved that it can come out on
top.
Here's honin~ that the
Wrestling team will have a very
successful season and perhaos
add a troohy or two to the col-
lection of other outstanding
sports achievments.
Goegel will finish the 26-mile
ordeal because they are athletes
in the true ser.se of the term.
If
you can read this and do agree
that running to Hyde Park or
even to .Rhine~eck in the cold of
afternoon is a grueling task and
worthy of ju:,t a bit of praise and
support from this school, then
you must ask yourself the ques-
tio of why are they paying their
own way to go to Boston and
why is the track team in this
school shunned as a second rate
team?

MARIST COLLEGE
FACULTY VOTES ON
CLASS ATTENDANCE
For Marist Students
On Friday, February
11,
the
Faculty, acting in formal Plenary
Session, voted by a majority of
almost
2
to
1
to adopt a new at-
titude toward absences.
This
attitude, perhaps best summar-
ized in the phrase "responsible
attendance," will go into effect
for the current semester. Essen-
tially, the system places the total
responsibility for attendance at
class squarely on the individual
student.
It
is he who must pass
each course through an under-
standing of the materials pre-
sented in the course; it is he who
is "responsible" for
all
of the
matter and assignments of the
course. Further explanation of
the system will shortly be forth-
coming from both Brother John
Shea and the individual instruc-
tors. The text of the motion
passed by the faculty last Fri-
.
day
follows:· - ··
.,
· · · ·
"Regular dass attendance is
a primary responsibility for all
students since perhaps the most
meaningful experiences promo-
ting the realization of the pur-
poses for which Marist exists
are achieved through thoughtful
considerations and discussions
provoked by classroom lectures.
Failure to participate fully in
classroom activity cannot help
but result in a loss for the stu-
dent. Absences from class for
whatever reasons or duration do
not, therefore, free the student
from the responsibility for the
full content of the courses and
for all class assignments.
"Irregularities in attendance
on the part of the Freshmen will
be brought to the attention of
the Dean. Appropriate
action
will be taken to make them a-
ware of their responsibilities in
this rtgai-&" ··
PEACE CORPS
TO
VISIT CAMPUS
A represenative from the Peace Corps will visit Marist College
on Monday, February 28.
Miss Roxane Foley, a returned Peace Corps Volunteer from
Malaysia will be on campus to explain the Peace Corps, its training
and service programs, and the opportunities it offers students. They
will also accept applications.
Art Reception
by Ray ::itewart
Sunday, February 22 saw
Marist College's largest Art
Show Reception take place in
the Student Center. The group
exhibition entitled "Out of 210"
had a marvelous turnout of ap-
proximately a hundred and fifty
people, from the college itself
and the neighboring area.
The works represented the
artistic endeavors of Mrs. Fish-
er, Mrs. Eva Plaut, Mr. Teich-
man, Mrs. Solomon and many
of the students from Art Work-
shop.
The three most dominant
mediums in the exhibition were
collage & painfting which all
Marist Students are so familiar
with, and sculpture
an
innova-
tion on campus by Mr. Teich-
man.

Students Off To Model U. N.
by Al May
At 12:15 am Feb.9, eightMar-
ist College students boarded a
train and left for the University
Model United Nations in Mon-
treal, Canada. Prior to the de-
parture of these students, mem-
bers of the Marist College
Young Republicans Club, a re-
ception was held for them at the
college with Mrs. Hamilton Fish,
jr., as the guest of honor. She
is a former resident of Montreal
and wife of Hamilton Fish, jr.,
Republican candidate for Con-
gress in the 28th district.
Marist is one of the only eight
colleges in the United States to
attend his event, along with such
colleges as Georgetown, Yale,
and West Point. This is Marist's
second year at this event. This
year Marist sent delegations
representing Turkey and Pak-
istan. The Turkish delegation is
made uo of Peter Walsh, John
Zottoli, Peter Higgins, and Wil-
liam Skula. The Pakistani del-
egation is Richard Cam, Peter
Petrocelli, George McKee, and
Robert Scott.
The delegates were well per-
pared for the trip before they
got on the train.
In
order to
properly represent their respect-
ive countries, they not only did
research on their own but visit-
ed the United Nations and the
Turkish and Pakistani Embass-
ies in the United States. Mrs.
Fish further helped them pre-
pare in her informal talk by giv-
ing them such information as
what weather to expect and
where to go for a g@od meal.
She also outlined various points
of interest in Montreal and told
of the attitudes of Canadians
for Americans.
The Model United Nations is
run and sponsored by the Inter-
national Relations Clubs of the
University of Montreal, McGill
University, and
George-Will-
iams University.
Marist and the other partici-
paiing colleges hope to foster
an appreciation for the United
Nations in this way.

varied and imaginative concerns
of the individual artists who are
not catering to the taste of the
public but rather their own.
This independance, which is the
expression of personal reflect-
ion gains significance in the
'doing', this 'act of creation.'
The act is typical of today, in
keeping with the times expressed
in the Futurism, Cubism, Sur-
realism; of Picasso, Kandinsky,
Klee and others. Just as typical
as was Litian, Michaelangelo,
and others of their respective
times.

MARIST DAY
REVIEWED
by Dennis Lammens ··
The purpose of Marist Day is
to acquaint different high schools
with Marist. Juniors and sen-
iors from various schools are in-
vited up for a day to inspect
the campus. The students who
come are permitted to sit in on
classes, visit the dorms. . . with
a traditional look at "Rocco's
Room", and eat in the cafeteria.
It is felt that this is the only
way a true close-up picture of
Marist can be obtained by fu-
ture students.
The students, upon arriving,
are greeted and introduced to
Marist by Brother Edward L.
Cashin, F..M.S., the academic
Vice - President, and also by
several class officers and stu-
dent government members.
The Committee Chairman of
Marist Day is
Mr.
Kenneth
France-Kelly, under the guid-
ance of Brother Cashin.
On Past Marist Davs held
this
semester, the
following
schools were in attendance:
Christ The King, St. Mary's,
and Mount St. Michael's. The
students who came showed
great enthuisiasm and were ap-
preciative for a first hand
glimpse of college
life.
There
were three such Marist Days
last semester, and it is hoped
that there will be at least two
more this semester.
The success of Marist Day
is attributed to the Men of Mar-
ist, the willing co-operation of
the orofessors, and to those who
worked so hard organizing it.

· A· U"IVERSITY OR A COLLEGE?
by Jack Bocne
Many Seniors in high school
every year wonder whether to
go to
a
University with ifs many
schools or go to a small college
where the enrollment never rea-
ches the
2,000
mark. Just trans-
fering to Marist College myself
from the largest Catholic Univer-
sity in America, I can say that by
going from one extreme to the
other I can make a comparison,
or by ~oing in the opposite
di-
rection I can show the difference.
This ''largest Catholic Univer-
sity in America", of course, is St.
John's University in New York
City. At St. John's I was a num-
ber. My report card was num-
bered, and even my I.D. card
had the number. As a matter of
fact, the number was larger in
print than my name. But here at
Marist College I became a name,
I became a someone, and not a
number that goes through an
I.B.M. machine. And speaking
of I.B.M. machines, that's how
our tests were marked by I.B.M.
machines. After the tests were
marked
and tabulated,
the
I.B.M. machine would give the
teacher the grade and the grade
in
tum would be posted on the
wall.
And how would we find
our marks? By looking for our
number, of course.
But at marist we use an in-
trull).ent called a "pen" which
has some soft fluid in it called
"ink".
I
didn't know they made
those things. I thought all that
was made were lead graphite
pen~ils. And the marks are giv-
en out by· human beings, act-
ually written by them. At St.
John's my card was "untouched"
by human hands." I can't say
that a University is· all bad. Be-
cause whell! you go to a Univer-
sity,
especially St. John's, you
can choose courses ranging from
Elementary Education to pre-
law or Pharmacy. But at a small
college you are somewhat limit-
ed to one course, in this case
Liberal Arts. And at a Univer-
sity you meet people who are
taking all sorts of subjects. You
could be talking to a future
doctor or nurse, or a future art-
ist.
The one major problem fac-
_ing all Universities today and
especially St. John's is the prob-
lem of the faculty and what they
teach. At St. John's the faculty
number rose to
750
but declined
to about
700
with some of the
teachers going out on strike.
I
think the Universig, should have
a firmer grip on the teachers
and a closer relationship with
them. This is impossible in a
large University, and the admin-
istration doesn't know what the
teacher is teaching. But here at
Marist where. you have only a
small faculty, the Administration
faculty relationship is benefi-
cial to the students.
Many i,tudents
will
ask "what
about the social life?" As far as
my experience holds, at St. John's
you knew more people because
there was more people to know.
But on the other hand you could
walk the ..::impus and see on3
new face every day for four
years and still know only about
one third of the students by
sight only. Here at Marist there
is only one "Buddah" ( a large
one at that), there is only one
"dff"
d"X"
d
1
u er, an
, an on y one
"cougar".
The one big difference here
is the dorm life. St. John's was
a commuting school and you
would arrive at
9
and leave at
3
every day for four years. This
to some people is fine, but if
you really . want to learn about
people you have to live with
them. I've been here only a week
and a half and boy I've learned
quite a bit.
A University or
a
college?
Only you can decide that.
UNITED STARTS
PILOT DRIVE
A
program whereby "zero
time" pilot applicants - - those
with no flying experience - - can
qualify for training as a United
Air
Lines flight officer was an-
nounced today by Charles M.
Mason, senior vice presiden~-
personnel.
Mason said the expansion of
United's Pilot Advance Accep-
tance Program (PAAP) was
aimed at male college graduates
between 20 and
25
with no flight
time or with less than the 40
hours needed for a private pilot's
license. Successful applicatants
will be assured of a slot at Uni-
ted's Flight Training Center in
Denver upon obtaining on their
own the required private and
commercial pilot licenses at a
Federal Aviation Agency-appro-
ved school within one year.
If
needed, a liberal financing
plan has been arranged by Uni-
ted through a Chicago bank.
Loans of up to
$3,000
are avail-
able and repayment would not
not start until the pilot has com-
pleted United's
17
week flight
training course.
A
commercial
license - -
165
hours· - - generally
represents a
$2,500
investment.
The nation's largest airline,
confronted with an unpreceden-
ted increase in air travel and a
fleet which will grow to
309
jets
by
1970,
announced last Novem-
ber that it needs
1,600
more
pilots over the next two years.
United also has two other pro-
grams - - one for applicants who
have
both licenses, but lack an
instrument rating and another
for pilots who meet all qualif-
ications. United bears the ex-
pense of instrument rating in-
struction.
Mason emphasized that the
hiring of ''low time" pilots does
not represent a lowering of stn-
dards. United still hires only one
out of 20 applicants who meet
the basic requirments: U.S. or
Canadian citizenship, height 5
feet 7 to 6 feet 4, excellent phy-

Jobs In Europe For The Summer
Job opportunities in Europe this summer ... Work this summer
in the forests of Germany, on construction in Austria, on farms in
Germany, Sweden and Denmark, on road construction in Norway.
Well there are these jobs available as well as jobs in Ireland,
Switzerland," England, France, Italy
1
and Holland are open by the
consent of the govemm.ents of these countries to American univer•
sity students coming to Europe the next summer.
For some years students made their way across the Atlantic
to take part in the actual life of the people of these countries. The
succes of this project_has caused a great deal of enthusiastic inter-
est and support both in America and Europe.
Every year, the program has
been expanded to include many
more students and jobs. Already,
many students have made ap-
plication
for
next summer jobs.
American-European Student Ser-
vice ( on a non-profitable basic
is offering these jobs to students
for Germany, Scandinavia, Eng-
land, Austria, Switzerland,
Italy,
France and Spain. The jobs con-
sist of forestry work, child care
work ( females only), farm work,
hotel work ( limited number av-
ailable), construction work, and
some other more qualified jobs
requiring more specialized train-
ing.
The puroose of this program is
to afford the student an opoor-
tunity to get into real living
conditions with the peoole and
customs of Europe.
In
this way,
a concrete effort can be made
to Ieam something of the cult-
ure of Europe. In return for his
or her work, the student will
receive his or her room and
board, plus a wage. However,
students should keep in mind
that they will be working on
the
European economy and wages
will naturally be scaled accord-
ingly. The working conditions
(hours, safety, regulations, legal
protection, work permits) will
be
;trictly controlled by the labor
ministries of the counties invol-
ved.
In most cases, the employers
have requested especially for
American students. Hence, they .
are particularly interested in the
student and want to make the
work as interesting as possible.
They are all informed of the
intent of the program, and will
help the student all they can in
deriving themost from his trip
to Europe.

full . time "missionary" work.
Vital changes have been made
to make the volunteer more ef-
fective in his assignment and the
commitment more meaningful to
the volunteer. These innovations
include length of service, testing,
and extended training period
stressing self-realization, sensit-
ivity, resourcefulness, along with
the possibilities of a fully inte-
grated Christian lay life.
Art And Artist
The media of artistic expres-
sion, as represented in the art
workshop, provides the individ-
ual with an opportunity
for-
the
self expression, in an expanding
area, that the modern world has
denied to most people. At the
same time it enriches the com-
munity
with
the varying aspects
of art.
An artist, or student of ar··.
has an available source of self
expression, such as literature
and music.
Yet
art itself provides
an area of experimentation; an
area that is lacking in literature
and in music. The artist paints
the world as he sees it. An art
workshop provides the student
with the media for his own in-
terpretation
of
the world around
him.
While providing the source of
self-expression, the art workshop
also provide-s the opportunity
for the community to view the
works of the talents in its midst.
Through -activities such ias this,
the community grows along with
the individual artist.
Art itself provides a source
of self accomplishment for the
people who participate in it.
The artist is able to more fully
express his own talent.
Art
work-
shops, such as our own, serve a
double purpose: they are the an-
swer to the tensions built up by
the steady routine of classes and
they also tend to draw more stu-
dents into the world of art by
providing varv;ng forms for them
to study and discuss critically.
SPRING TRACK?
by
C.
Melick
Attention men of Maristl The
possibility of a spring track team
is being considered. The idea
is in its formative stage, and
this is where it
will
remain
unless students who are
in-
terested in participaing contact
John Forbes or John Goegels,
rooms
320
and
311
in Champag-
nat
Hall.
This year the proposed squad
would consist of two relay
teams. Next year the team
could include other track sports.
The new team would welcome
your support, so let's get' the
lead out, you warm weather
runners, and make Marist spring
track a reality.

MARIST SPEAKS
For the past few years the students of Marist College have
asked for a more liberal "cut" policy than is now in existanec. Stu-
dents seeking elected office have vowed to "do all that their position
will permit" if elected to have the system revamped. We have per-
sisted in our quest and in doing so, we became a thorn in the side
of the administration. But now that long-awaited policy change has
arrived, and it nowl becomes the obligation of the student to see to
it that he does not abuse it.
Yet what does this new "cut" policy mean? Can we now proceed
to miss a class or two because there will be no one watching over us
or checking our attendance record? Are we now free to be absent
from class at will? or because the weather is a little to our disliking?
or because we stayed up nearly all night to play cards or pool or
throw the bull around? Undoubtly the answer is a flat NOi
How true that answer is. The administration,
I
think, now feels
that as students we are supposed to attend class and as men we
should be responsible enough to do so. Common sense should dic-
tate the necessity of attending classes in Math, Physics, Chemistry,
or Biology; if we fall behind in these courses, perhaps we can never
catch up. In some other courses, however, since the material covered
in class is also covered in the
·course
textbook and in the outside
reading assignments, the student could pass should he fail to attend
some sessions. But in either case, it would not take too much for
the student to end up "behind the 8-ball" and on his way to another
school or, for that matter, the Army.
The administration and faculty. are treating us as grownups,
more so than ever before. The least we can do is thank them by at-
tending class. Forget about any personal reasons you might have
that will prevent you from attending class;
if
the weather bothers
you buy another sweater or
an
umbrella; get
a
plock that is equipped
with an alarm and set it in the evening so that you can get up at a
reasonable hour ( reasonable in the sense of early enough to make
class); get to bed early enough so that you can make class in the
morning or better still, register for afternoon classes if you find your-
self sleeping until lunch time; in other words,. act like the man the
administration feels you are and take on the responsibility of atten-
ding classes on a regular and daily basis.
The policy involving "cuts»has been changed to the benefit of
the student. However, it can just as easily be reversed
if
it is abused.
We have a responsibility and an obligation; they are complementary
and should not be viewed separately. Don't approach this liberal
policy with a lackadaisical attitude;
it
can either make you or break
you: Remember: it's Army green or Marist red and white.
Which
color would you prefer to wear?
by Patrick Anders
And it came to pass early in
the morning toward the last day
of the semester, there arose a
multitude smiting their books
and wailing. And there was much
weeping and gnashing of teeth,
for the day of judgement was at
hand, and they were sore afraid.
For they had left undone those
things they ought to have done,
and had done those things which
they ought not have done, and
there was no help for it.
And there were many abiding
in the dorm who had kept watch
over their books all night, but
it availeth not. But some there
were who arose peacefully, for
they had prepared themeselves
the way and made straight the
paths of knowledge. And these
wise ones were known as the
burners of the midnight oil, and
by others they were called
"curve raisers."
And the multitude arose and
ate a hearty breakfast; and they
came into the appointed place,
and their hearts were bevy with-
in them. And they had come to

And some of them repented
their riotous living and bemoan-
ed their fate, but they had not
a prayer. And at the last hour
there came among them one
known as the intsuctor, he of the
diabolical smile, and passed
papers among them, and went
his way.
And many and varied were
the answers which were given,
for some of his teachings had
fallen among fertile minds, o·hers
had fallen among the fellows,
while still others had fallen flat.
And some there were who wrote
for one hour, others for two, but
some turned away sorrowful;
and many of these

offered a
little bull in hopes of pacifying
the instructor, for these were
the ones who had not a prayer.
And when they had finished,

"OFF THE TOP ... "
by Bob !<"inch
What does one man think a-
bout life at the great uterus
that is Marist College, that insti-
tution which feeds, houses, tea-,-
ches, entertains, changes, and
is changed by, the student during
his four year tenure? For the du-
ration of the semester, the
Circle
staff and editor, have given me,
so I'm told, free rein to express
my views and philosophy
cm
this
topic, in a thoroughly opinfoi:i-
ated and only perhaps interest-
ing column.
I
make no promises.
I
trust, however, that these
writings will be a diversion from
the trend of the majority of past
articles and several editorials
which have too frequently p~r:-
layed asininity and limited in-
terest into the type of reading
that would make the
Circle
de-
cidedlv more valuable if it were
distributed on a roll.
So, as
I
sit here in the. absolute
quiet of my room, listening to
my blood run,
I
wonder myself
just what kind of column this
will be. Who knows, it may de-
pend upon student reaction, or
merely on how
r
feel at the mo-
ment of writing. Although
I
shall
try to touch upon many facets
of the College, from fellow stu-
dents to the administration, from
facu)lty to courses, and from
Frank's to the Chapel, this is not
a mere criticism, in the sense that
I
am using my literary talents
to give vent to all my pent-up
collegiate frustrations, because
there
arc
not a great many areas
for disapproval in Marist to begin
with.
·
True, there's always the issue
of cafeteria fopd ( which is an
improvement over last year)' or
the cut system, or several ques-
tions more personal which pr()b•
ably wouldn't be allowed in print
anyway, but these topics are
better discussed at bull sessions
than in a newspaper
.All
I
can
say, in this "introduction", is that
"Off The Top" will be a commen-
tary, an opinion, a reaction to
criticism perhaps.
I
shall endea-
vor at all times· to be fair. to the
point, and uninhibited. We shall
see.
CAREERS DAY
Under the joint sponsorship
of the Knights 't>f Columbus and
the Senior Class, with the Guid-
ence Department, Marist Col-
lege will soon attempt a "new
approach" to career planning.
A career day featuring repre-
senatives of various major fields
will
be
held on this campus.
At
this
event, tentatively
scheduled for March 22, they
will have an opportunity to at-
tain information on the many
fields of employment available
in the world of industry and
government.
The committee in charge of
this has requested that all stu-
dents or faculty members, who
might be of aid to contact
John Palombo or John Skehan.

FROM THE Cl YE
by
J.
Barry
&
W. Zabicki
WeH, here we go again: new
semester, new topics, new stu-
dents on campus. In regard to
the latter, is closing our field-
house any way to show them
how their activity fee works for
them? Though a oardboard col-
isseum it
be,
it is filled with
tradition, most noteworthy being
the F.N.L. (Forelli Night Lea-
gue). Let's have our gym open
once again! At least it keeps us
off the streets, Mr. Athletic Di-
rectorll
It
is about time that
some space in our paper was de-
voed to the intramurals. Cur-
rently leading "B" division in
basketball are the C-Men ( car-
rot men?), closely followed by
Tom Murray's All-Stars, ancl the
Ovens are keeping the pot boil-
ing. The Rejects, possessers of a
21 game winning streak extend-
ing over a two-year period, are
the pace setters in "A" division.
They are being hard pressed by
Kiddim's Kittens, Bouzoomies,
F. D. L. and Bob Dylan's Des-
olution Row. It should be quite
a group of playoffs upcoming ..
Soon to follow the intramural
basketball season is the opening
day of the softball season. To
anyone interested in competing
in the latter sport, try to form a
team now before the quantity
of ballplayers diminishes.
.
Var-
sity basketball
is
slowly drawing
to the close of another season.
At the time of this writing, our
record stands at 4 c1nd 12 for the
season with 7 games remaining
on tap. Three of the seven are
home games. Wouldn't it be nice
if
you took the time out to see
one? ( Hunter College brings a
lot of females along, to those
concerned) .. In the spring most
young men turn to thoughts of
summer but a select few at
Marist turn their sights on the
Hudson. As soon as the ice melts
on the river, the rythmic sounds
of the crew team will echo over
the stilled valley at their morn-
ing practices. The crew will be
capped by the traditional Dad
Vail Regatta in Philly sometime
in early May but already prac-
tice has begun
..
A rumor spread-
ing around campus has a base-
ball team in the works for the
spring. We of the Cave have
been informed that 4 games are
scheduled for this season with
a tentative expansion to 16 for
next year.
If
rumor is true, we
wish to extend our best wishes
to the founders in their endeav-
ors to bring baseball to Marist.
We hope you have better luck
than was experienced in the
past .. The Football Club under
Bob Baily has begun a drive to
raise additional money for next
year. Pledge your key to the
club and enjoy another season
of
football against bigger name
oponents. Watch the Jasper tum
green again!! A tentative sched-
ule will be given as soon as we
have it ..
"ICE-OUT"
With well founded hopes for
an early thaw of the Hudson,
the Marist College Crew Team
is beginning its difficult train-
ing schedule this week. Diver-
sified P. T. and miles of running
are to be the regular fare of
those in pursuit of a seat, until
that fateful day of "ice-out."
Then early risers will hear the
familar crys of the coxswains
breaking the chilly stillness at
6 A. M. (shudder!)
But all the strain and pain
MARIST COLLEGE
wiU
be slightly allieviated by
the memory of our outstanding
victory in the "Autumn Gold
Regatta;'' The Frosh are evi-
dently intent on repeating their
Fall performance this spring by
maintaining a training schedule
through the off-season months.
Thanks for the effort, Frosh,
and look out Varsity - - they
could be tough!
Marks have taken their usual
toll of oarsmen, but the team
is not disspirited. The fio:htin~
five senior core is "hell-bent"
on making thei~ last season
the most successful one for Mar-
ist. Thev will be aided by some
who will provide the experience
and spirit when the "grads"
depart.
With practical confi-
dence, this looks like a good
year for the crew team.
INTRAMURAL
BASKETBALL
by
:a;;aui Rinn
While the winter has made
the campus a dormant scene,
·the intramural program has been
showing a great deal of life. As
expected, the Rejects and the
C-Men have dominated play by
being the only undefeated teams
in both leagues. This, of course,
was not done easily. In Division
A, The Rejects had to fight off
a strong Kiddem Kiddie team
who were short their two stars,
Tony Powers and Richie DePatri,
and then subdue a red-hot Des-
olation Row team before reach-
ing the 10-0 mark.
In Division B, the C-Men have
shown time and time again why
they are the team to beat. Dis-
playing a well-balanced offense
and strong board control, they
have forged an 8-0 record and
provided the spectators with the
most dramatic play of the season
when Richie Dickerman tapped
in a jump ball with five seconds
to go and beat a strong Oven
team 54-58 for first place. The
season has now
lasted three
I\J
months and soon will be sum-
mized with the playoffs. The C-
Men and the Rejects have both
earned the right to meet in the
finals for the title as a result of
their play. However, due to a
league rule, these two teams
must play teams that they have
already beaten in order to prove
their right to the finals. It is un-
neccesary. for these playoffs to
occur. This reporter can only
see a Reject, C-Men final and
feels that when the playoffs are
completed; that is the way the
finals will stand.
Forbes And Goegel
Off To
Boston
John Forbes and John Goe gel
are a special kind of athlete.
They are distance runners in a
school that doesn't seem to want
them. They are trackmen who
would be lauded at Villonova or
at St. John's but are limited to
near obscurity here at Marist.
They are two young men who
could gain our school recognition
on their own, had they the pro-
per training anrl coaching. They
have the finest attitude about
what they are doing and what
they are doing is this: on April
18th, they will journey to Boston
to compete in the Boston Mara-
thon. This is an event in which
just one colleg~ trackman has
ever finished in.

WRESTLING
by Bob Condon
Coming off its defeat at the
hands of Rutger's College of
New Jersey this past weekend,
the Marist College Wrestling
Team avenged itself to some de-
gree by overpowering Yeshiva
University of the Bronx.
It
was
a very impressive victory with
Marist winning 6, losing 2 and
tying one.
The team has the problem of
facing very
·stiff
oompetition,
but when matched with a school
of relatively equal caliber, it has
proved that it can come out on
top.
Here's honin~ that the
Wrestling team will have a very
successful season and perhaos
add a troohy or two to the col-
lection of other outstanding
sports achievments.
Goegel will finish the 26-mile
ordeal because they are athletes
in the true ser.se of the term.
If
you can read this and do agree
that running to Hyde Park or
even to .Rhine~eck in the cold of
afternoon is a grueling task and
worthy of ju:,t a bit of praise and
support from this school, then
you must ask yourself the ques-
tio of why are they paying their
own way to go to Boston and
why is the track team in this
school shunned as a second rate
team?
