Mr. Kelly Lectures to Flenr de Lis:
"Free Trade is Best" in the Common Market
by William Moran
"Free trade is best" highlights the
importance of the
.
Common Market in
the world today. In a talk given under
the~ponsorshipof the Fleur de
Lis,
Mr.
Kelly, lecturer in Economics
at
the
col-
lege, broughtthis fact out most clearly.
The talk was given on January 10th.
The European Economic Community

its
foundations at the Treaty of
Science
Department
Receives A.EC
Grant
P. R. Bull
Russell S. Poor, Director of the
Division
of
Nuclear Education and
Training
of
the United
States
Atomic
Energy Commission, has announced in
a letter to Brother Linus
R. Foy that
the Departments of Chemistry, Biology
and Physics
have been awarded the sum
of
$5,
000 for the purchase of
equip-
ment. The award resulted from
a
pro-
posal made on August
27, 1962
in which
the departments in the natural
sciences
area presented to the A.
E.
C. a
plan
for including
nuclear
education
and
training within
the
framework of the
existing science programs.
The pur-
pose of the grant
is
to enable the
grantee
institution to purchase
the equipment
necessary to implement the
instruc-
tional program outlined
in its proposal
The receipt of
such
a
grant implies
that the
A.
E. C. is satisfied that
the
program of
instruction
designed by
the
recipient
institution
is in
accordance
with the objectives of the Atomic
Energy
Commission's education program,
and
that the scientific background of
the
faculty and staff ml:!mbers
is such as
to insure the success of the program.
The program will be put into
ef-
fect during the coming spring
semester.
It will include studies of the
charac.:.
teristics of nuclear radiation
and
its
interactions with matter,
techniques
in the detection and measurement of
radiation, and the applications of radio-
isotope methodology to
problems
'in
biology, chemistry and physics.
Rome
in
1957.
The countries of Italy,
France,
West Germany,
Belgium,
Netherlands and Luxembourg banded to-
gether to form a community whose ob-
jective was a single
economy,
a sort of
United
States of Europe.
They hoped
to
achieve
the goals that they set forth
in from twelve to fifteen years and so
far they are far
ahead
of schedule. The
major goal to be reached is the redu c-
tion and finally the abolition of tariffs
and quotas between these six countries.
They also present a uniform tariff to
the countries outside of the community.
The philosophy behind the commu-
nity is that by starting with
an
economic
unity it
will
eventually lead to a politi-
cal unity.
This political unity as Mr.
Kelly
sees
it
will
not
really
take shape
for some time to come.
The Common Market was designed
for five particular reasons:
L
The
ex-
pansion of the size of the markets so as
to allow the industries to attain maxi-
mum efficiency;
2.
expansion
of the
size of markets to allow for free mobi-
lity of labor and to lower unemploy-
ment;
3.
promoUon of the flow of capi-
tal to help the growth of underdeveloped
parts of the community;
4.
the attrac-
tion of capital from other countries es-
pecially since it is cheaper to operate
in the community than from the outside;
5. widen area of competition and con-
centrate the manufacturing with the one
who has maximum
efficiency.
In any customs union, as the Com-
mon Market is, there
is
trade
creation
and trade diversion. Trade is
created
by the reduction of the trade barriers
and by development of the country
.
Trade diversion may be a serious pro-
blem with the Common Market.
The
goal is to give the
mamµacturing
to the
one with the maximum
efficiency
but
this works only within the community,
therefore the most efficient producer
may
actually
be outside the market
and
cut
off from trade.
The two countries that
are
seen to
benefit most from the Common Market
are Italy and France since their
econo-
mies
are
the worst because of the war.

'
Design Consultant Mirrors'
Donnelly Hall Corridors
by
G.
Marmion
Recently, the
artistic eff:lrts of
E.
Rimai
Fisher apj,eared collectively
in
the corridors
of
Donnelly Hall, and
sincetheir initial impact, the
cafeteria
has become the mecca for many lively,
and imaginative
discussions on th
e
sub-
ject of "art".
Some students feel these
paintings mirror a profound, personal
awareness.
However, there
are
those
insensitive souls who have
been
known
to derive, from the
glass-sheltered
works, a certain narcissistic pleasure,
which
sustains
them through their
French and Anthropology classes. So
that these
mirrors in the
corridor
might become milestones in a maturing
sensitivity,
Mrs. Fisher suggested
the
following
avenues
of possible
enlight-
enment.
First,
he who
says,
"W:mt is
it?"
automatically erects a
barrier to any
experience
with the work. Such a per-
son
might
be more justly
rewarded
if
he sought the feeling
it
projected, the
thought it communicated, or simply an
aesthetic
response.
The second case involves the per-
son
who approaches the painting with
preconceived notions. Adverse precon-
ceptions constitute undesirable prejud-
ice, and this is the disease that
cripples
the understanding of
a
potentially im -
partial spectator.

Education and Mr.Keppel
Have you ever heard of the
u_
S
.
Office of Education? There is
one you know. Recently, Francis Keppel, Dean of the Harvard
Graduate School of Education, was appointed commissioner
tq
the
office. (Good Heavens, another Harvard man down there.) The
Office of Education is largely staffed by former stenographers,
accountants, and normal school graduates. Few are
intellectuals,
and many will distrust Keppel because he is.
His most serious problem, upon taking over the office,
will be
recruiting talented associates, for he will have very little of in-
terest to offer them when they arrive. The Office of
Education
does
not run any schools or colleges, and its powers of direction to them
are extremely limited. For the most part th.e Office is a
banker.
It
takes money from the Treasury and disburses it to schools and
universities across the country according to rules established by
Congress. However, out of a total federal expenditure on educa-
tion of more than
$2
billion, less than $650 million is channeled
through the Office.
Amazingly, the greatest portion of federal education funds are
disbursed through the Defense Department. The Pentagon is the
nation's largest supporter of university research. It provides
scholarships for undergraduates enrolling in Naval ROTC, grants
to graduate assistants
to
theoretical physicists, operates the Ser-
vice Academies, War Colleges, and all ROTC programs. Innova-
tions and appropriations which are administered by the Pentagon
are scrutinized less closely by Congress than they would be if ad-
ministered by the Office of Education.
The Office has no real power, and probably won't acquire more
in the foreseeable future. The only way that educational funds will
be hru;idled through the proper office -- The Office of Education --
will be by new legislation.
Interestingly enough, it is not the needs
of students that are considered, but devising legislation acceptable
to both Catholics and Protestarits, to White Supremacists and Urban
Liberals. Even then, after such legislation has been drafted and
approved by Congress, the Office will have an uphill battle to keep
everyone's nose out of the pot. Logically, you might thirik that edu-
cational funds could be best administered by the Office of Education.
The problem is to persuad the special interest groups to accept this
point of view. And should the Office ever manage to reach this
point, another grotesque beast raises its ugly head, the problem of
federal controls on education. States are perfectly willing to accept
federal funds for education; however, they want no part of federal
control over how those funds are disbursed by the States.
The bright aspect of this problem lies in the fact that in the re-
solution of sticky, separatist melees like this is precisely the area
in which democratic process operates most efficiently. The Ameri-
can genius for compromise will carry the day, but orily if a suffi-
cient number of people become interested enough to prevent the
matter from becoming a political football.

Question: Should juniors and seniors
receive mid-term marks?
Bill Weiss - They should give marks
to juniors and seniors. It gives you an
evaluation, incentive to work harder.
Herman Boldrin
-
Yes,
they should.
They need to know where they stand
just like everyone else and plan accord-
ingly.
John Buscemi
-
No, it is not necessary.
By the time you are
a
junior or senior
you should know what you are doing.
Mid-terms are just an evaluation which
freshmen and sophomores need, but
juniors and seniors should know how to
evaluate by this time.
J
.
R. Morrison - They should not, but
can receive marks upon request.
Robert Spunt - They should not, except
those students that are doing below C
work should be so advised by the in-
structor.
Ernest Miscione - Yes, why shouldn't
they?
Frarik Cavano - Juniors and seniors
need be notified only in courses in
which they are in danger of failing.
Giving out exact grades for mid-terms
requires a lot of extra, unnecessary
work in the other cases.
Gene Spada - Being that
it
has been
customary for all students to receive
their marks LTJ. the middle of a semes-
ter, I feel that this policy should be
continued because it may either give
incentive to the students or shake them
out of their passivity.
This goes not
orily for freshmen, but for all students
who fall under these two categories.
Seniors - Faculty Hold
Cocktail Party Jan 4th
by William Moran
On the evening of January 4th, the
Class of
'63
held a party in Adrian
Lounge in honor of the faculty.
Beve-
rages and canapes were served.
Many members of the faculty and
almost the entire Senior Class were in
attendance. The atmosphere was pleas-
and and relaxed. The variety of topics
discussed were innumerable. The ex-
change of ideas between the students
and faculty was stimulating.
The gathering was the first of this
type. Many of the Seniors were given a
chance to discuss their future plans af-
ter graduation with their department
heads, to the mutual help of both parties.
Ed DiSantoheaded a Senior Class Com-
mittee that took care of all the arrange-
ments.
Members of the Senior Class
have remarked that the evening was one
of the most rewarding and enjoyable
of their college years.

NOC TU
RN
E
At the last Council meeting (Janu-
ary 5), a subject was discussed that
may critically affect your academic
schedule.
By the coming Fall semester, the
Administration plans to have the Even-
ing Division curriculum programmed,
so that the Evening Division students
will be required to complete all of their
freshman
courses before being per-
mitted to enroll in sophomore courses.
The same thing applies to sophomores
and juniors. An incidental feature of
such an arrangement is that courses can
be planned a year or two ahead. That
is,
by the fall of any year, ycu
will
know what courses you will be taking
for the next two or three years.
What will affect you most vitally,
here and now, is the fact that you
will
be required to complete all of your
basic requirements before you will be
allowed to enroll in more advanced
courses.
Credits alone no longer de-
termine your academic position. If you
have passed up some basic courses,
planning to fill in the gap at your leis-
ure, you'd better think again.
This
warning is quite timely, for it is not
too late to revise your planned spring
curriculum, to fill in basic course re-
quirements so that you will not be pro-
hibited from taking desirable courses
in the fall.
If
there is any doubt in
your mind as to what courses are re-
quired inyour major field, see your ad-
visor, and to avoid the registration
rush, seehimbeforethe semester ends.
The registration schedule has
now
been arranged so that upper classmen
will
be allowed to register on the first
night of spring registration, and the
lower classmen on the second night.
This means that upper classmen
will
not be faced with closed classes.
When you register for the spring
semester you will receive, in addition
to the usual registration forms, a sports
activity questionnaire.
Before you
pass it up, or throw it away,
think
about it for a moment.
Golf, tennis,
softball,
basketball,
bowling.
and
sailing are the sport activities that will
be made available
if
enough Evening
Division students express an interest
in any of them.
Don't indicate an in-
terest unless you are willing to parti-
cipate, otherwise a considerable amount
of programming along this line will be
just so much wasted time.
On
sailing,
Evening Division members, under the
Regatta Association Rules, are eligible
to participate in the regular intercol-
legiate Regattas.
On
any of
the sports
suggested, the time of the activity is
open to suggestion. Saturdays or Sun-
days may be your best time; if so,
indi-
cate it on the questionnaire.
In
connection
with
sports activities.
THE RECORD
Western Keeman Donate
Marist Boathouse Fund
Brother Linus R. Foy announced
that he had received a check for $670
representing a matching grant of Wes-
tern Printing Company for donations of
the Western Keemen to Marist College.
This brings the total donations of the
Keemento $1639. The campaign among
the Keemen was directed by Harold
Loper, a member of the Boathouse
Committee.
In
thanking Mr. Loper, Brother
Linus noted that this is merely the
latest in many kindnesses of the Kee-
men to Marist College.
Previously
the Keemen had donated towards the
Western Language Laboratory located
in Donnelly Hall.
This latest contribution brings the
total community donations for the boat-
house to $27, 038. 50. The plans for the
boathouse, pictured in a previous issue
of The Record, were drawn by Paul
Canin. During winter, the upper floor
will
be used as an auxiliary gymnasium
for wrestling, weight-lifting and
gym-
nastics.
In
addition to its use for the
rowing machines and as a dormitory
for visiting crews, it may also be used
for social functions.
The estimated
cost of the boathouse will be between
$50,000
and
$60,000.
The Boathouse
Committee hopes to have it completed
for _September 1963.
this writer suggested to the Council
that sports scholarships be considered
for the Evening Division. How would
you like to attend college on a golf
scholarship?
For some reason, (pro-
bably envy on the part of the other
council members because they didn't
think
of it first), the suggestion was
rejected outright.
As usual, the minutes of the Janu-
ary
5th meeting will be posted upon the
Evening Division bulletin board. Some
of the topics discussed may interest
you.

Dr. Yuan Teng Joins
Marist History Dept.
by J. Greco
In
the expansive plans of the ad-
ministration of Marist College there is
manifest a deliber.ate design -- above
all else, quality in education. This de-
sign is no where better reflected than
in
the
members of
the
faculty of
Marist College. In continuing our pre-
sentation of the individual representa-
tives of the faculty, we hope to foster
a meaningful appreciation of these in-
dividuals, and a deeper awareness of
the high standard of education that each
represents.
Dr. Yuan Chung Teng, doctorate
instructor
in
history, began his work
at Marist in the fall semester of 1-962.
Dr. Teng was born
in
1930 in the city
of Nan King, the capital of Nationalist
China.
Before coming to America
in
1955, he completed his formal school-
ing
and
undergraduate
education in
Nationalist China. In the United States
he obtained a B. A. degree from Clark
University,
an M. S.
degree from
Bradley University, and a Ph.D. from
Georgetown University. Before begin-
ning his work at Marist, he taught for
a year at Brooklyn College.
In
offering his thoughts on America,
and on Mari st, Dr. Teng recalled that
his first impression of America was
that "everything seemed new and dif-
ferent". As he had taught high school
in
Nationalist China, he noted the con-
trast of American schools with
the
schools of Nationalist China.
He re-
called the absence of a system of elec-
tive
courses and
the
comparatively
large size of the classes in Nationalist
Chinese schools.
Yoong
Americans formed
A new organization soon to take
shape on the Marist campus in the near
future is the Young Americans.
This
group which is to be composed of scho-
lastics as well as lay students has for
its purpose the continuation of liberty
under God by giving as many as possible
a deeper and very comprehensive view
of the dangers of Communism.
To achieve their aim the Young
Americans
will
hold monthly meetings
at which those
who
desire
will
be able
to speak on an agreed topic of impor -
tance.
Although intended mainly for
student participation several faculty
members will be asked to address the
group.
In
addition, a lecture program
of outside speakers is being contemp-
lated.
At present, members of the Young
Democrats, Young Republicans,
and
some scholastics are planning the acti-
vities which will start
with
the begin-
ning
of the Spring Semester.

Brother William Murphy announced
last week the purchase of a new 8-man
raciug shell to be custom-built for the
Hudson by George Pocock of Seattle,
Washington.
The
sixty foot racing
craft, and oars should arrive at Regat-
ta Row by early spring in time for the
forthcoming racing season.
Mr Pocock has been building shells
for almost half a century, and is the
largest producer of regatta craft in the
United States.
The Washington cedar,
used in boat building is popular for its
light weight and bouyancy. The Seattle
workshop obviously has an abundance
of this wood.
The sleek racing shell is complete-
ly hand built from "bow to stern". The
Pocock builders have had tremendous
success with their model, and have
maintained the same structure since
their opening.
The
largest rowing
schools (Cornell, Washington, Cali-
fornia, Navy, etc. ) purchase no less
than three shells per year each, so
business is booming in the west.

83-69
Traveling north for the first time
this season the Marist cagers attacked
Albany to do battle with Albany Phar-
macy College. The team and the busload
of spectators were led to the gym in
Lincoln Park by "Big Daddy" Mahar
and he wants everybody to ,know.
The
Red Fox attackers made rapid work of
the home forces via an 83- 69 win.
The Marist squad showed on of
their best offensive attempts of the cur-
rent campaign with all
five
starters
hitting for double figures.
The best
waytobringhome a victory was demon
strated in this contest as the Marist
quintet scored first
and was never
headed.
During the opening stanza Tom
Trojanowski
connected with his first
four
shots and continued on to score
fifteen points in the
period
.
Jim
Clancy
joined the scoring parade with eleven
more points
.
At the intermission
Marist
maintained a two point edge,
40-38
.
Leading
the scorers for the entire
game was
Tom Trojanowski
with his
second
straight twenty point showing.
Jim Clancy gave chase
with
his one
game high total
of
eighteen.
Fred
Weiss seemed to have
a lease
on the
backboards as
he
controlled them
the
entire
game. Dave

consecutive points
in
the closing half
as
the
Red Foxes
pulled
away for good.
THE RECORD
Maist Construction Projects
Proceed on Schedule
The construction of Leo Hall, the
second HHFA-financed dormitory is
slightly ahead of schedule, it was an-
nounced by Brother Linus Foy after a
conference with Brother Nilus, Paul
Canin, the architect, and John Lynch,
representative of the HHFA. The con-
tractor is racing the weather to close
in the building so that the plastering
work may continue during the winter
months.
Most of the exterior brick-
work is completed, with only the alumi-
num sidings and windows to be install-
ed in some areas.
The contractor is
expected to be finished by July 1, 1963.
During August the college will install
the furniture for the 296 occupants.
Work on the athletic field has been
stalled for the winter. Current plans
call for a layer of topsoil to be placed
down in early spring, with at least
part of the field ready for September,
1963.
Foundation work for the new facul-
ty residence has been halted. The re-
sidence, \o be located on the property
north of the Water Works Road, will
house twenty-Eve
Marist Brothers.
It
is slated for completion after Septem-
ber, 1964.
Plans for several other projects
are in the preliminary stages. How-
ever, no funds have yet been appro-
priated for such projects.
Fisher Cont. from Pg. 1
Concerning creative expressions,
Mrs. Fisher quickly denied the juxta-
position of standards and art forms.
Like Tennyson's "Ulysses", both the
artist and the beholder are 'part of all
that they have met'. Should there be a
common fragment of experience, and
shouldthe artist successfully communi-
cate it on canvas, then there may be a
response from the observer, by which
a rapport is established. In an anala-
gous illustration, Mrs. Fisher quoted
Gertrude Stein's "A rose is a rose is a
rose". Here, the image of a rose is
rhythmically and concisely conveyed to
all, save the compulsive grammarian.
For
these reasons Mrs. Fisher
dis-
cards

ventional
norms, and

From time to time there occurs an
event which is rather unique in the life
of the campus and which is markedly so
in
the life of the participants.
Con-
sidered against the spectrum of every-
day campus activity such an event took
place in the college chapel on Sunday,
January 6th, at approximately 2: 15 P. M.
The event in question was the Solemn
Engagement of Miss Elizabeth Rowen
to Mr. Walter Herbst; and, if the waxed
expression gracing the face of Mr.
Herbst was any indication of the same
caustic process that so precociously
waxed another of his anatomical areas,
there could have been no debate as to
the solemnity of the occasion.
The engagement was officiated by
Father James Driscoll,
0.
P., with
Mr. Michael Mangiamelli and Mr. Ed-
ward DiSanto in attendance. Witnesses
for the ceremony
were
Miss Mary
Sutherland
and
Mr.
Joseph Ianclli.
Relatives and immediate friends of
the couple were present for the occa-
sion which was followed by a cocktail
party in the Sheahan Hall Lounge. The
nature of a Solemn Engagement_ is such
as to constitute a public declaration
of their respective promises to marry
one another in the near future.
The staff of The Record should like
to extend their congratulations to Miss
Rowen and Mr. Herbst and at the same
time take this opportunity to express
their sincere wishes for a happy future.
Kelly Cont. from Pg. 1
In concluding the lecture Mr. Kelly
presented a question as food for thought.
If the Common Market is successrul
what will the rest of the world do, form
their own trade groups or blocs or will
theybe able to continue as separate en-
tities?
Mr. Kelly felt that there was
the possibility that several power blocs
would be created in the world.
They
would be the Common Market, Soviet
bloc, South American bloc, North Ame-
rican bloc and the rest of the world
forming
its
own
bloc
or
slipping into
the
existing
blocs.
