Seven Seniors Nominated [or
Hood row Wilson national Fellowship
by Peter
Seven Marist College students were
recentlynominatedfor Woodrow Wilson
National Fellowships.
They were
among 10, 000 prospective first year
graduate students nominated annually
from which 1, 000 are chosen to r e -
ceive awards. The seven chosen were
Br. Thomas Reithmann and Br. James
Lopez (Mathematics); Br. Edmund
Sheehan and James Moloney (English);
Br. John McDonnell and Br. Joseph
Piccianno (Latin); and Br. Gerard
Brereton (Spanish).
The purpose of the Foundation is to
, attractmore men and women to the pro-
fession of college teaching. It primari-
Kearney
ly supports candidates in the humani-
ties and the social sciences, since aid
from other sources is plentiful for
science students.
Fellows are selected for their out-
standing intellectual promise. Eligi-
bility is open to graduates or seniors
of colleges and universities of the U.S.
and Canada. College graduates now in
the Armed Forces are eligible if free
to enter a graduate school in 1963-64.
Selection committees place parti-
cular emphasis on the quality of a candi-
date's preparation for graduate study,
especially on a solid foundation at the
undergraduate level for study leading

The growth of Marist in the last few
years has been prolific and this year is
no exception. Recent figures released
by Brother John Malachy, the Director
of Admissions, list's the present school
enrollment at approximately one thou-
sand students. The Day Division ac-
counts for 546 students, an increase
from last year's 410. The immense
jump in the enrollment is due mainly
to the increase in the number of new
freshmen. Included in the Day Division
there are 106 student brothers. This
number tends to remain the same each
year. The Evening Division is also en-
joying increased enrollment, having in-
creased from 312 students last year to
464 this year. However, day division
students taking evening courses account
for a small percentage of this number.
This increase is expected to con-
tinue for several years and the level-
ing off point for the Day Division is ex-
pectedtobe approximately 800 students.
The reason for this is that the Gollege
feels that the student benefits from
smaller classes and therefore more
personal instruction than a larger in-
stitution could give.
In addition to the increase in the
enrollment there has also been an in-
crease and improvement of the facili-
ties available to the students. The
first and primary development on cam-
pus this year is the completion of the
new dormitory building, Sheahan Hall.
This new building, which has accommo-
dations for 126 students with leisure
and recreation facilities, was sorely
needed as the College continued to grow.
Another new dormitory in the same
general area is now under construction
and is expected to be ready for occup-
ancy by next September. This dormi-
tory, to be named Leo Hall, is to be a

PREFACE : The Year Two
Just as the title of this editorial does not differ significantly
from that of the first editorial last year (which was: "Preface: The
Year One"), so too will the overall form of The Record remain
similar. There is no necessity for changes at the present time.
Mentioning this is, perhaps, the most appropriate tribute we can
give to James Callahan, last year's editor of The Record, who ac-
complished his purpose of establishing the second edition as "a
structural and contextual basis - - a vanguard - - for succeeding
issues and continuing volumes. "
This year the staff of The Record will strive to increase the
quality and quantity of the paper's material in correspondence with
the physical and intellectual expansion of the College.
Fidelity
In the Student Handbook Walter Herbst, President of the Stu-
dent Council, points out that every student should participate in
at least-one extra-curricular activity faithfully. This should not
be a difficult request to comply with considering the fact that
there are twelve chartered clubs and seven more in the process
of formation, more than five intercollegiate teams, and an ade-
quate intramural program.
However, a serious problem has arisen concerning the idea
of dependable participation in an organization or team. Many
students have committed themselves to so many activities_that
it is impossible for them to fulfill all their obligations. This
fault has become obvious at recent meetings and practices where
the entire group is harmed by the sporadic appearance of many
of its members. A team is a group of students trained to work
together. But how can the nine occupants of a shell be trans-
formed into a team if at each practice there are several sub-
stitutions necessary? For this reason I think it imperative that
each student decide which activity he actually intends to be a
faithful member of, and notify that activity and any other group
which he has joined of his decision.

QUESTION: What was your opinion of
the hazing this year?
John Markett (Senior) - There were
more activities this year than in other
years. The. freshmen were good-
natured about it all. One thing they
should do as part of hazing is have the
freshmen finish painting the wall.
Ted Salomone (Junior) - This year was
better than last, but there should be
morehazing activities and better organi-
zation on the part of the sophomores.
Certain features should be made tradi-
tional such as a sophomore-freshman
tug-of-war.
Don Shook (Sophomore) - It was not bad
this year, but the faculty slowed us
down. Plover did a good job of running
the show.
Don Palmetier (Freshman)- Not being
a resident, I did not think it was too
bad. Although I got a record number
of demerits I feel it promoted a real
class spirit.
The upper classmen
really were not rough on me at all.
(cont. from p. 1)
six-story structure and will accommo-
date 330 students.
Other additions and improvements
around the campus range from a new
cafeteria to an improved library. The
cafeteria located on the lower floor of
Donnelly Hall is a vast improvement
over the small and slightly less than
ample dining room that existed last
year. In addition to providing hot meals
for the resident students it also provides
a lunch service to those who commute
to the school.
The completion of the science labo-
ratories in Donnelly Hall has helped to
provide the science student with ample
facilities for the study of biology, che-
mistry and physics.
The Spellman Library which reached
completion shortly before the end of
last year provides the student with
several new aids to speed-up and
simplify the matter of checking out
books.
As the physical structure of the
College grows so must the intellectual.
This year nine new teachers have been
added to the faculty and there has been
expansion of the two new fields of
study at Marist, the Teacher Certifica-
tion and Business Administration pro-
grams.
The inauguration and continuation
of a widespread sports program gives
the student a chance to not only deve-
lop his mind but also his body.
Along
with this we find that there is the addi-
tion of five new clubs being formed.
All in all, the growth that is Mar-
ist's is an overall one. It does not
tilt to one side and leave the student
wanting, but seeks to give to the stu-
dent the well-rounded and full educa-
tion which has long been the tradition
of the Marist Order.

'MovieNight' Initiated
by William Moran
On Friday night, the Student Coun-
cil inaugurated "Movie Night" at Marist
College. At 7:30 the students and their
dates saw the fir st Marist College show-
ing of To Hell and Back. The picture,
starring Audie Murphy, was a blood
and guts story about Murphy's actual
experiences in World War II.
The Council is sponsoring these
movies once a month. The nominal ad-
mission price of 25 cents is to cover
the cost of obtaining the movies. Wal-
ter Herbst, Council President, said "I
hope that the idea of 'Movie Night' ap-
peals to the students. We think that it
is a good way of bringing us closer to-
gether. If these initial movies meet
with success, the program will be ex-
panded. "
There were 210 people present
for the movie. About 80 of these were
lay students. Several girls were also
present. The major portion of the
audience was composed of Student
Brothers. The Movie Committee re-
ported that if Brother Kieran had not
volunteered his support the receipts
would not have covered the costs.
David Donaghue was projectionist.
Members of the junior class sold r e -
freshments. They sold one case of
soda.
In the forthcoming months such
movies as From Here to Eternity,
The Prisoner, The Lavender Hill
Mob, and The Seventh Seal can be
expected. These movies are not
currently being shown on Broadway,
but the committee believes that the
students will enjoy seeing them.
Short subjects and cartoons will be
shown with future selections.
Marine Training Programs
Marine Captain J . P . Sanders, Of-
ficer Selection Officer visited the cam-
pus on October 5th between the hours
of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM and discussed
the Marine Officer Training Programs
available to college students, inter-
viewing those students interested.
Captain Sanders pointed out that all
Marine training in the undergraduate
programs is done during the summer
with no interference during the school
year. Other features include starting
monthly pay up to $584.00, selection
of training either as a Marine Pilot or
Marine Ground Officer; and assurance
of a commission with immediate a s -
signment to active duty upon graduation.
The Platoon Leaders Class and the
Platoon Leaders Class (Aviation) pro-
grams are available to freshmen,
sophomores, and juniors.
Captain Sanders also stated that
for the college senior the Marine Corps
offers a commission upon successful
completion of ten week Officer Candi-
date Course.
Kidnapping and Dance
Highlights of Hazing Week

by D. Rolleri
The consensus of opinion regarding
the freshman hazing program is that it
was highlighted by both the kidnapping
of the Sophomore Class President,
Larry Plover, and the Freshman Mixer
held on Saturday evening, September
22nd, which officially closed the first
ordeal of Marist's new young men.
During the days preceding these
particular events other memorable
happenings took place. Outstanding
among these was the formation ofa
Kangaroo Court before which those who
did not wish to conform to the hazing
program were called forth and sentenced
Also the traditional tug-of-war be-
tween the freshmen and the upper -class-
men took place at pool-side. Many
sophomores, juniors and seniors, see-
ing that they were vastly outnumbered,
remained indoors. Those who braved
the fray received a vengeful dunking
only after being beaten at the test of
strength by superior numbers.
The ingenious plan for the abduction
of the organizer of the freshmen's week
of tribulation was organized by several
frosh - Ted Flynn, Ed Keane and Bill
Zambicki.
The plan was simple, yet effective,
once set into motion. Awakened early
Saturday morning by an urgent plea from
Theater Guild
Inaugurates Workshop
On Monday evening, October 1st,
the Marist College Theatre Guild in-
augurated its first progressive move
to communicate the art of theatre to the
student body by initiating a Dramatic
Workshop.
The purpose of the Workshop is to
present a complete course in the study
of theatre, namely: the physical struc-
ture of the stage; the actor, set desig-
ner, lighting engineer, and the director,
in their different relationships to that
stage; the various emotional attitudes
of the actor, the techniques of acting,
pantomime, etc. Those present will
not only learn passively, but will also
be able to activate what they have been
taught during these meetings.
There is also a Monday afternoon
session in which practical, physical
work is done "on.stage". Catwalks and
ladders are being installed; backdrops,
movable "tormentors"and"cycloramas"
are being prepared to frame and beauti-
fy the stage, along with the new lights
for the Theatre Guild's major produc-
tion in the spring semester.
All are invited to attend these meet-
ings each Monday evening from 7:10 to
9:45 and the stage meeting at 4:15 from
now until the 10th of December.
Ted Flynn for a ride to the Poughkeep-
sie train station, Plover, quick to r e -
act, ran headlong to give aid. Then the
well-timed trap sprang shut as two huge
arms ensnarled the sleepy figure.
Within a matter of moments Larry was
bound and hustled into the waiting car.
His travels encompassed 150 miles
including the West Point parade grounds
where cadets were taken back by the
appearance of a bedraggled intruder.
Marist's new breed of abductors then
drove to a fairly secluded spot where
the victim was fastened to a sturdy tree
and photographed.
Still in his red nightgown the shorn
lamb was returned to Marist that even-
ing and deposited among the dancers.
Girls from St. Francis, New Paltz,
Vassar and Mt. St. Mary's were pre-
sent.
Later that evening all were enter-
tained by Larry and the antics of the
New Eastern Trio for a full hour, after
being applauded loudly for their usual
repertoire.
Freshman hazing week then slowly
ebbed away. As the clock approached
midnight the visiting girls boarded the
waiting buses and the happy freshmen
drifted back to the dormitories and
homes.
Mosaic Announces Plans
The Literary Guild has announced
that it plans to publish two issues of
The Mosaic. The issue scheduled for
the Fall Semester will be released
sometime in January.
The Mosaic is the literary prgan of
the students of Marist College. Con-
tributions are accepted from both Day
and Evening Division students. The
members of the Editorial Board stated
that all original work will be consider-
edfor publication. Prose articles such
as short stories, playlets, and essays
are desired. All types of poetry-epic,
ballad, avant-garde are also sought.
"I do not want any student to reject his
own work. When he has finished an
article or a poem, he should submit it.
The Board wants to read as many pieces
as the students are willing to write. I
do not think that any artist can evaluate
his own work properly, and therefore
no student should hesitate to submit his
work. All articles are kept confidential
until they are published, " said William
Moran, Editor of The Mosaic.
The deadline for manuscripts is
November 26th. Any works finished
before this date may be submitted to
James Moloney, Charles Cassidy, or
William Moran of the Day Division.
The men in the Evening Division should
give their material to Edward Matthews.

THE RECORD
Oct. 12, 1962
What m a y very well be the begin-
ning of an authentic rivalry and a true
picture of things to come took place
last Sunday on the Poughkeepsie High
School football field. A pick-up game
between the b o a r d e r s and the day hops
was played with the rather startling r e -
sult of a day hop victory, 13 to 8. It is
a good thing that the day and resident
students can achieve athletic and social
co-existence.
In some other school
where the enrollment is divided among
those who commute and those who r e -
side on campus, animosities and rival-
r i e s have built up and served only to
injure the school.
A loaded boarder team figures to
make short work of the hapless day
hops who were only a quarter of the
b o a r d e r s ' number.
But the residents
couldn't get their attack going and the
signal calling of J i m P i z z a n i ; left a
little to be desired.
Absent was what
we here figured to be the winning c o m -
bination - Pizzani to John Langeloh.
Our p a r t n e r ,
T e r r y Macken pulled
through for several nice gains and
George Van Arneam,
Don Roller!,
F r a n k Nemetz and Bob Gillen were de-
fensive standouts.
H e r m Boldrin was the work h o r s e
of the day hop squad and when their of-
fensive stalled in the second half his d e -
fense helped save the g a m e . No serious
injuries w e r e incurred and the interest
showed in the contest p r o v e s we need
m o r e student organized activities of
this n a t u r e .
H e r e ' s where we came in last year:
Hudson House forfeited its football
game last week when they could only
m u s t e r four m e n for
an eight m a n
game. As the system stands now we
can only see a repeat of the disgust and
lack of interest on all p a r t i e s concern-
ed with the present s y s t e m .
Recommended h e r e : Why not let
the obviously interested students o r -
ganize their own teams and set up a
double elimination schedule. We can
easily see four football teams from
the residents and at least two from the
day hops. The idea of the double e l i -
mination will cut out the lack of in-
t e r e s t that a r i s e s with a t e a m ' s c o n s i s -
tent beatings. It would provide for
m o r e lively and equal contests.
Don House figures to run away again
this year in football.
The only thing
they m i s s is Cy Collins.

It says h e r e that nobody can touch
Green Bay and this is said with much

Your fearless f o r e c a s t e r s find it
hard to pick a winner in the E a s t this

At this writing even the R e d -
skins look tough. They may not win
but they will make their p r e s e n c e felt.
The taller of your two noted s c r i b e s
finds it hard not to side with a neighbor -
hood inn-keeper who likes the Giants.
On the other hand, the paunchy half of
this team looks to Cleveland for a c o m e -
back with the Cardinals also in t h e r e :
but not the Giants, on the sole fact that
they a r e too old.
Philly's hot and cold running Eagles
couldupse.t somebody's d r e a m s . Bobby
Layne only has a line and Boddy Dial.
As far as the Cowboys a r e concerned,
even the Mets will be back next y e a r .
Pitching will tell the story in the
upcoming great rounders championship.
With the opening contests being played
in the Bay City the home Giant bats
will also be making their p r e s e n c e
known to the depthless Yankee hurling
staff. Our pick is the strong Giant
team in six.
Athletic Dept. Starts
Cross-CountryTeam
by Paul Mahar
This fall the M a r i s t College Athle-
tic Department has m a d e an initial bid
to develop a C r o s s -Country Track Team
which will participate in intercollegiate
dual, triangular, and sectional m e e t s .
The t e a m is directed by Brother W i l -
liam Murphy and is presently being
coached by M r . Ted Flynn. Thus far
there have been attempts made to sched-

T h e r e h a s been some definite p r o -
m i s e shown by the team thus far. M r .
Flynn r e g a r d s the young group a s a
highly potential squad displaying great
hustle and wonderful s p i r i t s . P r e s e n t -
ly, the team is using the campus
grounds for workouts, but they hope to
soon be able to travel to one of the local
c o u r s e s for m o r e extensive p r a c t i c e .
The team is now a small group and
anyone who wishes to join should con-
tact either B r o t h e r William or
M r .
Flynn.
The purpose of the team is to
build for the future, and the tentative
m e e t s which have been a r r a n g e d will
give some idea of how strong the team
will be in the next few y e a r s .
