Gene Doerflinger:
Student Recovering
From Auto Accident
Eugene Doerflinger is aJunior
math major at Marist College.
This Saturday will mark the sixth
week of his stay in the Intensive
Care unit of St. Francis Hospital.
At 1:00 A.M.onMarch4,Doer-
flinger and two of his friends,
Joseph Tighe and Walter Kuhn,
left Kuhn's home to pick up some
cigarettes. Tighe drove the 1966
Ford Fairlane, Kuhn sat in the
front seat,
and
Doerflinger took
the back seat behind Kuhn.
Bro. Linus
Foy
Man
of Year
Last Sunday, Bro. Linus Foy,
President of Marist College, was
honored
by
the Poughkeepsie
Chapter of the B'nai B'rith for his
interest in the community, and,
in particular, for his part in the
Jewish-Catholic Dialogues held
on the Marist campus.
The "Man of the Year" award
was presented to Bro. Foy
by
Mr •.
Sidney Rosen, outgoing pres-
ident of the B'nai B'rith, at a
ceremony witnessed by over 200
people.
This distinction is an
indication that the interests of
Marist's president
do
not stop
,
at the campus gates.

years.

school year while Bro. Linus was
writing his Ph.D. thesis. A fac-
ulty member at that time, now a
member of the administration,
_
recollected that Bro. Daniel was
"very nice, very gracious, very

However, Bro. John is next in
line for the job since the post of
Academic Dean ranks directly
under that of Academic Vice-
President.
The car, travelling at an es-
timated speed of thirty-five miles
per hour, hit an ice patch on Route
9G, about ten miles north of
Poughkeepsie. The nose of the
vehicle skidded towards the right.
Tighe pulled out of the skid only
to have the car shoot to the left
side of the road. The front of the
car slammed into the guard wire
at an angle, and "whipped" the
left side of the vehicle into the
adjacent guard rail. The impact
threw Doerflinger across the
back seat, gashed the left side of
his head with the coat hook above

Girls Glee Club Gives Concert
On Saturday, April 8, the Mar-
ist College Glee Club together
with the College Cultural Com-
mittee hosted the St. Peter's
Women's Glee Club. Under the
direction of
Dr. George Hansler,
the program ranged from Men-
delsohn's "Lift Thine Eyes" to
the calypso strains of "Man,
Man" and included, among other
selections,
"The
Impossible
Dream" from '"Man of La Man-
' cha"
During the social which follow-
ed the concert, plans were dis-
cussed for a "home

to take place in April of next
year. According to the tentative
plan, the Marist Glee Club would
present a joint concert with the

Big Bad Baron
The one-sidedness of the Administration has long been a topic of
student discussion.
Many
MOTHmen believe that
if
our voice is heard
at all, it is little more than a faint
buzz
in the far distance. This is
not fair!
We should have a say in what concerns us! Well ....
The present Student Government has promised us that voice; and
that-s great! The Student Union might be the best thing
to happen to
the college in
a
long time; and that9s
good.
Of
course, it will take a
while
to jell;
and
that-s all right. However,
if
the council meeting we
witnessed a few weeks
ago
is any indication of the technique that
Mr.
Brosnan intends
to use during Student-Faculty-Administration dis-
cussions, that-s bad!
A few weeks
ago, Mr.
Wade,
Dean of Students, came before the
Student Government to ask their aid in a problem that
he
thought
concerned the whole college community. The problem centered
around recent incidents of student drunkenness. He used the river
as a case in point. That's all; just a case in point. What resulted
was, to our
mind,
a perfect example of how to gain the respect of
none but the slow-minded.
Mr.
Wade was not informed that he would be called upon to defend
his "closing of the river", nor was he prepared for the brow-beating
that he suffered at the hands of a few of the more fanatical members
of the Council
.
He was not closing the river. He did, however, be-
lieve that there was a problem on campus, and was simply referring
it, or so he thought, to the Student Government. There it was, exact-
ly what
Mr.
Brosnan was asking for: an attitude of cooperation on the
part of
_
the Administration, and the opportunity for the student to as-
sume the cloak of self government and responsibility.
Mr.
Wade
should have been thanked and allowed to leave.
But the Student Governmen
t
saw a snag. They looked beneath the
apparently sincere facade, and promptly exposed him for the wild-
eyed, scaly-skinned, long-fanged ogre he really was. The leader of
this little task force was
Soon
To Be Ex Attorney General Edwin
Hammond, who deftly skirted the central issue, and verbally violated
the Big Bad Baron, destroying any of the remaining respect due a
Dean of Students. His intentions may have been honorable, but to
ask an impertinant question and then totalkthrough the answer given
is not the
kind
of action expected of a man like
Mr.
Hammond.
We need go no further.
It
is enough to say that a precedent was
set that evening: a rather uncomfortable precedent. What could have
been an indication of the long-desired Student-Administration co-
operation was turned into a fiasco.
Mr.
Wade, dean of students, went
before
Mr.
Brosnan's Kangaroo Council, and left a beaten man.
It
is
hoped that a proposal as worthwhile as the Student Union
will
not be
jeopardized by a
.
repetition of this
type
of action in the future.
Letters To
The
Editor
Dear Sir:
"Marist College"!
Sort of
sounds nice, doesn't it?
How
long will it keep its rJce ring?
How long will those who have
graduated from here be able to
look back with pride? IF present
circumstances are any indica-
tion, not very long.
When I first came here I was
quite proud of it. I would wear
Marist jackets home on the train
so people could see I was proud
of it. Then one day I received a
bit of a shock
.
In
the New York
subways I overheard a fellow
from one of the Long Island col-
leges telling an older man, prob-
ably his father, that Marist was a
small schoor in Poughkeepsie
where everyone drank too much.
Another closely related incident
occurred a short time later when
a young man, obviously
drunk,
came up
to
me and said, "Marist
that-s MY place,'' or words
to
that effect.
I felt roughly six
inches tall.
At
a recent class meeting
I
was
reminded of the cold fact that we
can no longer get buses for nor-
mal school activities. I was like-
wise reminded of various inci:-
dents that make "Marist" a word
of equal disrepute to Vassar stu-
dents as some Marist "men"
persist on using. Unfortunately
these incidents, which I have the
grace not
to
describe, form a
black page in our history that
was written a long time before
many of our present students
appeared
,
on the scene. Yet it is
these who
suffer the con-
sequences.
It
is more or less a
permanent
stain,
that will, I
think,
have a detrimental effect for a
long time t.o come.
I hope there are enough men
of Marist to profit from history,
and not cause it t be repeated.
I hope, but have
my
doubts
.
I
would like to see
my
doubts dis-
proven, not by words, but by
deeds.
--Kenneth Quinn '70

Dear Edit.or,
The evils of democracy
(ma-
jority vote) are heard echoing
throughout the halls of Sheahan
over the
din of the ST
4
and
the
Pidgeons. A thickheaded, poor-
sport is "holding
up''
in there,
issuing his gripes over a Spring
Weekend that he has not yet
bought a ticket to. This being
a pseudo-democracy, we did not
take offense at his reactionary
ways.
in
fact on the weekend of
April 28-29-30, he can borrow
our Beatie and Stone records --
we want everyone to have a
good
time.
In
his letter appearing in the
March 9th issue of The Circle,
he proposed many facts d
e
roga-
tory to Spring Weekend. He said
that the results
of
the first poll
unquestionably demonstrated the
popular opinion t.o be in favor of a
Rock
&
Roll group, but a second
poll wa
.
s circulated giving the stu-
dents the choice between Your
Father's Mustache and two Rock
&
Roll bands
.
It seems the ma -
jority thought that Spring Week-
end should be
s
omethingdifferent
-- not a dance marathon.
He questioned having two soph-
omores in charge of the Weekend
.
The reason for this is that we
were asked to do it, maybe be-
cause of p
a
st experience or that
we were just gullible enough to
take on the responsibility. One
thing
for sure, nobody else had
asked for the
job.
With the "coming storm" just
two
weeks
away,
something
seems to be happeningt.o the pre-
diction of
Mr.
Clancy. First, tic-
ket sales are over the three-
quarter mark. The second and
third clauses remain to be
proven.
Will the people leave
the concert after a half hour?
Well,
if
the Student Brothers
and
YFM can't hold them, we have
made a mistake.
In
closing we would like to re-
.
mind everyone that
,
tickets are on
sale until April 20.

On The Other Hand
In 1963, the decision was made
to establish an independentoffice
of Recorder here at Marist. Up
until that time, the joint position
of Registrar-Ret!order had been
held by Bro. John Malacby. It
was then that Mrs. Elizabeth
O'Brien began her work here at
Marist.
Born in Troy, New York, Mrs.
O'Brien received her grammar
and high school education in
Poughkeepsie.
-
She has also at-
tended courses at Poughkeepsie
Business Institute. Before com-
ing to Marist, Mrs. O'Brien
worked for seven years as a Real
Estate
saleswoman here in
Poughkeepsie. Just prior to her
arrival at Marist, she had worked
as a staff assistant at Fitchett
Brothers Dairy. At present she
is a member of the Poughkeepsie
Business and Professional Wom-
an• s Association. She is married
and the mother of two children;
her daughter's wedding last year
was one of the two that has ever
taken place in the campus chapel
here at Marist.
When asked why she chose to
come to Marist, Mrs. O'Brien
replied in a manner that is typi-
cal of the work that she has done
here at Marist: "I would rather

to her work.
When Mrs. O'Brien came to
Marist in i963, there were 63
June graduates; this year the
number will be about 260. With
this growth in student population
has come acorrespondinggrowth

Next year, in order to facilitate
her work, an IBM computer will
be installed. Mrs. O'Brien re-

learning how to operate it, but
finds the going, "very difficult."
However, her usual enthusiasm
has not been dulled and, although

The More You Throw
BY CASEY
To Mike McDonald and the
Theatre Guild who fantasticall,t
broke the post election doldrums
with their recent musical, played
before a packed house here at
each of its stagings and put the
show on the road for at least one
production down in Rockland
County. Memory has it that in
the past, the Theatre Guild reg-
ularly played before audiences
totalling fifty. It is noteworthy
that during their most recent
production, even the President
of the College had to stand.
Whose Zoo?
One of the most intriguing as-
pects of life at Marist is the total
devotion of its students to games.
At virtually any hour of any day
one is able to find legions of his
comrades engrossed in the in-
tricacies of pool, cards, Scrab-
ble, Monopoly, and
ahostofother
exercises in the laws of chance
So, it comes as no surprise
~
hear that an entirely new game
incorporating many elements of
the old ones, is now making the
rounds on campus.
It
is called
Procrastination: A Game
of
Mar-
i
st.
-
Originally
.
conceived a few
years ago by some
of
our present
seniors, this challenging waste of
time utilizes manyofthevaluable
experiences that we have all had
at one time or another since first
~nrolling at Marist.
It
is played
m a number of variations; some-
times on a special board, some-
times on the floor and often ver-
bally.
The basic premise of the game
is to move through the frustra-
tions and pitfalls of four years at
Marist before your opponent (s)
do likewise. The road to aca-
demic success is fraught with
speed. The player's move is de-
pendent, as in mostgames,onhis
throw of the dice; the more he
throws, the faster he moves
through his four years.
The beginning of the game is
marked by the type
of
problems
experienced by the incoming
Freshmen; ie. - dating, drinking,
etc.. As one nears the end, the
spaces are marked with the prob-
lems of an Upperclassman; ie. -
dating, drinking, etc.. For in-
stance, early in the game a player
is liable to land on a square
that informs
him
"YOU GIVE
YOUR HIGH SCHOOL RING TO
A MOUNTIE: ST AND STILL FOR
FOUR YEARS", and he is auto-
matically disqualified from fur-
ther play. Or. he might be so
unfortunate as to land on "GET
SHOT BY A GUARD WHILE
CRASHING A VASSAR MIXER:
J. G. O'CONNELL
LOSE ONE TURN".
There are also a number of
beneficial squares on which to
land, such as "1,EARN HOW TO
FOOL
THE
VENDING
MA-
CHINES:
TAKE
ANOTHER
TURN" and "LEARN HOW TO
.
FOOL THE TELEPHONE CO.:
ADVANCE
TWO
SPACES."
These are followed, however, by
traps
such
as
"YOU
GET
CAUGHT FOOLING A MACHINE:
GET EXPELLED... Other cases
of malfeasence are dealt with on
the spot, such as "GET DRUNK
AT THE RIVER ON FRIDAY AND
WAKE
UP TUESDAY: LOSE
VALUABLE CLASS TIME".
As the game progresses the
penalties become more rigid. A
player in the upper class range
is likely to land on "YOUR TWO
PHILOSOPHY
CLASSES
ARE
TAKEN OVER BY DR. DREN-
NEN: TAKE GAS" or"ACELIQ-
UORS RUNS OUT OF GYPSY
ROSE: YOU HAVE A SIEZURE".
Farther along in the game a
·
player encounters such traps as
"YOU DISCOVER THAT THERE
IS NO MAJOR IN RU~IAN: BE-
GIN AGAIN" or "DR. LE WINTER

versely, there can be n'l "col-

In short, college implicates the
students
and vis-a-vis.
My
friend, Noah Webster, draws an
astounding conclusion from
this
logic -- that student and college
are damn near synonymous!
Of course, I deem it not a little
unfair
to consider that college or
colleges, exist simply as afinan-
cial proposition, or as a neces -
sity of society, or as a result of
pressure from the business and
technological worlds, or as a

Pardon me, but the
main reason for the persistant
phenomena of a young man sit-
ting at a desk studying centur-
ies-old philosophy on a warm
spring day (instead of helping
populate the shrubbery on the
majestic banks of the Hudson)
is that he wants to study, there-
by being deserving of the title
"studenP'. I would

that

The speakers were Mr.

from Fordham University, Mr.

Fordham. Mr. Daniel Rearden,
also scheduled to speak, was not
in attendance.
Mr. Carey began the evening
speaking ·of poetry in general,

and
explained that it is an

form that is constantly declining
in popularity. To remedy this,
Mr. Carey stated, we must find

Yet by the end of the week,
one couldn't say that Gene's pro-
gress was good.
It
was more a
case of holding onto life with
unusual tenacity. Once his tem-
perature was brought down, the
ice blankets could be removed for
a number of days at a time. Then
his temperature would rise, and
he'd be back on the blankets again.
On Saturday, March

there
was a turn for the worse. His
breathing became a series of
spasmodic gasps. His tempera-
ture hit
195.
For the second
time, his parents were warned
of the very real possibility of
Gene's not surviving the night.
Miraculously, he pulled through
a three-day period in this state
and started fighting back to his
"normal" pre-March
25
condi-
tion. By Tuesday the crisis was
over.
His progress since then is de-
scribed by one of the registered
nurses in his unit as a series of
plateaus. He will improve for a
bit, level off for a few days,
and
then display some new ability.
Right now he is cognizant of what

This

freedom
means that

immune from coercion on tl1e
part of individuals or of social
groups and of any human pow-

in

The big question for each ofus
to decide is when that "higher

tative pronouncements.

even though two Saturdays

his track team made its official
debut--competition-w
i
se. Pers-
onally, this writer thought that
the U. had a long way to
go
before
it
established itself as a track
power.
Fortunately, the team
proved me wrong. Not that track
and
field records were shatter-
ed at the Queens-Iona-Marist
Triangular
·
Meet; but the boys
shocked many of the competi-
tions• coaches with distances
and
times such as these:
Competing against freshmen
only, Joe Dell
wound
up and hurl-
ed the javelin for an unbelievable
first place 171'4". -CJay Garcia
of the Queens' Varsity fell short
of Dell by 27'10" .) Then Dell
came back and
took
first place in
the discus with a throw of 139'
5 1/2", topping Iona• s scholar-
ship thrower, Rocco Laurie, by
12 feet.
Frosh Pete Gasper, after tak-
ing first place in the 16 lb. shot
put event with a 35' 5" heave,took
third in the javelin with a toss of
94'6 3/4".
Gerry Gary, a guy who never
picked up a discus in his life,
decided to give it a try and wound
up taking fifth place. This was
after Gerry
had
taken second
in
the shot put with a throw just
a
foot shy of Gasper's. And the
pole vault event was wrapped up
very nicely by Danny Gates
who
boosted himself to a 9'6" first
place.
In
the freshman track events,
Ed Walzer was the big gun as he
took second place in the 440 in
52.3 seconds against five scho-
l~ship runners.
Iona placed
fir st in the mile relay by squeak-
ing by Marist with .6 seconds to
spare. This four man event was
headed by Bill Dourdis, Joe
Koeth, Art Quckenton and Wal-
zer--who posted a fantastic 53.1
secood lap. A- potential cross-
c01mtry prospect comes in the
· form of Tom Mahoney who placed
third
in the mile
run.
"Tiger''
Quinn was right behind Mahoney
in
this event and, should he stick
with it, he could easily become
an outstanding two-miler.
In
Varsity competition, Larry
Boland and Jim Young both clear-
ed 10' in the pole vault event (as
did the Queens entrant), but had
to
·
settle for second and third
places
respectively because of
previous misses.
In
the javelin,
Boland took second place, behind
Jay Garcia of Queens, with a 122'
3" toss. Rich Danowski, working
with a pulled leg muscle, placed
a respectable fourth in the same
event.
Co-captain John Goegel ran a
disappointing 4:51 in the mile
run. Disappointing because John
has been able to leg
this
distance
·
in 4:30. The winner from Queens
broke the
tape
in 4:31:9. Tom
"R.G." Annunziata placed fourth
in
the 120yardhighhurdles.

Congrats to Coach Ron Petro
and his tennis team. This is the
first for tennis at Marist and the
club did a fin,. job of defeating
Dutchess C.C. in its opening
match.
The big question this year,
fans, is what's so new about Wes
Westrum's "new'' Mets?
Special thanks to Mr. Len Ol-
sen, 1956 Decathelon Olympian,
from the track team.
He has
I
coached the boys twice in the
field events and
it
shows in the
final standings.
The over-all
disappointing factor is that of
personnel.
If more people join-
ed the team there would be
no
reason for Marist to have empty
I
slots in any of the events.
Coach Paul Arold's crew fin-
ished what it started out to do
by trouncing the U. of Mass. in the
Varsity, J.V. and Frosh races in
the fir st home regatta on April 8.
Spanking new

and
football teams on them can

That's Ed Hogg inthefrontline--

Did anyone call him over
the Christmas vacation?

'
Crew at Marist took a giant
step three years ago
and
became
the number one squad in the New
York area when it crushed Iona,
Fordham and
St.
John's in the
Autumn Gold Regatta. Theteam,
determined
not
to relinquish its
hold of this honor, decided to
move on to greater heights in
opening the Spring season.
A
trip to Florida was planned--a
trip meant to bring Marist into
competition with some ofth,ebest
crews in the East.
As
a sport, crew in the South
is vastly different from its north-
ern counterpart. Schools such
as
Rollins College, the University of
Tampa, Florida Southern and
Jacksonville University are able
to practice between September
and
June because they are not
hampered by snow and ice. Their
confidence is an overwhelming
factor--they take each race as
part of their daily routine.
But theuclass" whichtheMar-
ist crew possesses did notletthe
experience or the confidence of
the other teams dampen its spirit.
In
fourteen days of rowing, both
the Varsity and J.V. grew stead-
ly
stronger and deeply im-
pressed the southern power-
houses, even though they fell just
seconds short of upending the
Florida State Champs. The cli-
max of the trip came when the
high-stroking J.V. scored two
decisive victories ~ver Jackson-
ville University and East Caro-
.lina C~llege.
