During the past three weeks of February, students have demonstrated strong interest in educational administration and student personel services. The operations of the Campus Center are managed by students alone under the supervision of a director; the planning,, ad­ministration, and control of the affairs andf functions/ of the Marist, CoUege Uniohlare vested in the Program>Brard;: while the Policy^Board::establishes and

enhance and facilitate the func­tioning of. the Campus Center.

Each office and chairmanship position requires a great amount of work and discipline, for each elected and appointed student on the College Union Board must assume and delegate respon­sibility accordingly. Every member of the C.U.B. learns the important elements necessary for the development, promotion, and execution of various co-curricular programs of an educational, cultural, social, and recreational nature. Priority and commitment are two personal factors which are demanded of each member; and at the same time, one must maintain self-motivation and initiative ability in order to create an interesting program series.

Twenty-five students (in­cluding two members of/ the Third Year Abroad Program) applied for positions on the College Union Board. Only twelve students could be accepted to fill the vacant positions. Their names, along with a description of their involvement, are described below:

PRESIDENT: Eric Yergan. Eric has been working with the C.U.B. Social Committee for Vh years while serving as Chairman for the past term of office.

VICE-PRESIDENT: Thomas Farrell. Tom has served on the College Council for two^years, acted as a student advisor for incoming commuting freshmen, and directed the. Commuter Union 1972-73.

Constitution Proposed By Bernard Mulligan

As was announced in the Circle several weeks ago, a new structure for Student Govern­ment has been introduced in the form of a constitutional proposal/ This proposal was mailed'to th$' resident staff, club'presidents, and the student delegation of the College Council in order to guage initial student reaction. A meeting to discuss the con­stitution was then held last Tuesday, February 20. Though it was poorly attended, the general consensus seemed to favor the proposal. The main-points are outlined below.

The main organizational change to be effected will be a decrease in the power of the traditional Executive Board, and the creation of a Student Policy Board, composed of represen­tatives from the dorms and from the commuters, to formulate and coordinate student policy in all areas. In past Student Govern­ments, the main function was to hand out funds to the various student organizations, which function will be taken over by the Student Finance Board. But with the addition of the Student Policy Board to Student Governmentas the top; decision: making; organ, ppUfcyv factionsswill... be: more emphasized v The. Executive Board "has not been phased out completely, since it retains an administrative function which a body as large as the Policy Board could not carry out efficiently.

Another shift in organizational structure has been the elimination of the situation in

which one committee allocated Student Government funds to student organizations with no limitations on its power. Since Student Government officers were elected, it was felt, they had to be allocating funds according to student desires, and this was often:; the case.. -However, to assure that a club whose budget was cut would have some recourse, it was decided that the Student Finance Board should not have the final say in the matter. Therefore, the Student Policy Board will have to ratify all recommendations made by the Finance Board, which retains the power to set a budget ceiling which the Policy Board may not run over. It is hoped that, using this system, Student Government financial solvency will be assured, and no club will have its budget severely cut without good reason.

So, in the final analysis, the constitutional proposal in­troduces a division of labor in Student Government that was previously unknown. The Executive Board handles ad-s

miftistrative and com­munications functions; the Finance Board takes, care of financial matters; andfthePolicy Board acts as: both a check on the

. KhMcefB6arJd,wa^d' •as.:a;/pp jcSy_J. forum for students. There is only" one;; unexplained matter--whb is on what? The.Executive Board is composed of the traditional elected officers: the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. The Finance Board includes the treasurer and the vice-president, two students

elected at large, and one student appointed by the treasurer.

The Policy Board is quite a bit more complicated. To assure an equitable formation of policy, all the most important students groups are represented. The Interdorm Council, College Union Policy Board, and the Commuter Union each designate one of their members to serve on the Policy Board. The chairman of the Student Academic Committee and the student member of the College Council Steering Com­mittee are automatically made members of the Policy Board. Eight commuters are elected from the commuter population to serve on the board. Finally, each house council appoints a specified number of represen­tatives to the committee to act as basons between the house council and the Policy Board. (It was hoped, that through ap­pointments instead of elections, each house council-the most important body in each house-would be able to coordinate its functions with those of Student Government.) Champagnat Hall is allocated three members; Leo Hall, two; Sheahan Hall, two; and Benoit, Gregory, and Fon­taine i one each:-: . The present members of the

student-: Government urge > all student! to vote in the refereri-dum' on the constitution on Wednesday, March 7, time and place to be posted. A meeting to discuss the proposal will be held the night before elections in the Campus Center; again, time and place will be posted.

Congressman Dow Speaks At Marist Last Thursday at Marist,

former Congressman Dow spoke to an audience of approximately 150 people on the topic of "America and the Developing Nations". In the second of a series of lectures sponsored by the Political Science and History departments, Congressman Dow expressed his opinions of the United States government's foreign policy towards the developing nations. ; .

Congressman Dow opened his lecture by stating that the United States has much to be desired in its foreign relations. As a Congressman, Mr. Dow had the opportunity to visit many of these developing countries and had observed three common aspects in all of them. The Congressman felt that all these people are seeking: economic development; liberation from the bonds of tyranny; and, most importantly,

liberation from foreign domination. It is this last aspect that the Congressman felt the United States has not yet learned, but should. Congressman Dow continued his lecture with a run­down oh the quality of leadership in twelve of these developing nations that the United States deals with.

Mr. Dow then went on to review what the United States is doing wrong in if '^oreign policy. In­cluded is b'-*? list of should-nots were the training of their police or armed forces in order to keep this people down; the selling:the military arms, which is a two and a half billion dollar business in the United States; using the term "communism" as-an excuse for American involvement, as was the case in Viet Nam; and the continued use and funding of the A.I.D. program, which provides military and economic aid for military purposes to foreign nations. The Congressman felt that the United States should get to know the minority groups as well as the majority groups in these countries. He also felt that the United States should not take revengeful, measures against foreign governments who • take part in actions that.we do not agree with. The lecture was followed by a question period wherein, the Congressman an­swered anyone's questions.

Circle Interview: Linda Jenness The Marist College community

was presented with an excellent opportunity to hear and meet a Presidential candidate last Wednesday evening. Linda Jenness, the 1972 Presidential candidate of the Socialist Workers Party, lectured on "Billy Graham, the Pope and Richard Nixon versus Women's Liberation" to a near capacity crowd in the Campus Center theatre. Her lecture provoked a question and answer period of over an hour in the theatre, and a more informal discussion in Fireside Lounge. Ms. Jenness spent much of the day speaking to students at Gregory House and also went to the' Poughkeepsie Women's Center, where she met many feminist activists from the Mid-Hudson area. The following interview was conducted by Bernard Mulligan and Jim Keegan.

Circle: What are some of the characteristics of your organization that make you different from other progressive movements?

Ms. Jenness: Since you asked about the differences, let me dispose of that very quickly so I can give you a lead as to what we really are. There are really only three parties on the left today. There is the Socialist Labor Party, which is really the smallest of the three, and they believe that socialism can be just elected in. They are very small, and don't really have very much influence. Then mere is the American Communist Party, which is a very significant party on the left; and they are the party that supports the bureaucracy in the Soviet Union. Supporting that bureaucracy leads them to agree with policies such as the invasion of Czechoslavakia in 1968. They support liberal democrats; they

Diet The Saga Way Loreen McGinty

Have you noticed that less and less people are fitting into the elevator these days and that the elevator goes down faster than it comes up? Look around, you'll see that a lot of people are becoming Saga addicts, overdosing on Boston Cream Pie, Strawberry Shortcake and Fudge Ripple ice cream.

I am no exception. After my first semester, I noticed that when I fell down, I bounced right back up again, and when I bumped into anything it didn'thurt. Not only didn't my clothes fit, but I couldn't fit, through doors, shower stalls and food lines. When I got out of bed in the mor­ning, my body left an imprint on the mattress. I could never walk to classes with anyone because just by jmyself.I took up half the hall. And finally when my whole reflection couldn't fit in the mirror, I realized that something had to be done.

Should I scrape off my meal sticker, chain myself to the Universal, lock myself in the Champagnat information booth until I was thin enough to fit through the little hole? Nah..., hey, I'd diet the Saga way. First I though that this would be easy; eating carrot:-. .raisin salad, drinking water and eating fish. But I never thought that Saga was out to get me.

Equipped with the donut machine, an ice cream cart on wheels and a deep fat fryer, they tantalized and tempted me until I could roll out of the cafeteria. And just when I'd put up a defense, they'd plan a sur­prise attack4)ombarding me with special dinners, Sundae Sundays, and garlic bread until I had to surrender. But boy, did I put up a fight! I slept through breakfast, as well as my morning classes and I didn't go up for seconds because I thought that everyone would be watching me. When I had a sandwich, I tore the insides out of the roll so just the outsides remained. (This does not apply to bread.) I tried not to sit within an easy reach of the dessert table and if I did take a piece of cake I would take one bite and put pepper all over the rest so I wouldn't be tempted to eatanymore of it;After dinner I got into my pajamas so I wouldn't be able to go to the Rat. And when I went to Frank's I or­dered a "Frank's Special". It looks like a gin and fonic but it's really ice water and lime.

After a few weeks of that battle plan my stomach no longer touched the classroom desk when I sat down. When I fell down I had to wait for somebody to pick me up and when I bumped into something - it hurt! The next step is to request Ayds for the bookstore, have diet soda in the

- Rat, and sign up for the Jack LaLanne Health Spa. So, single handedry, I have battled Saga, the Rat and the Barn

vending machines. But the enemy has joined forces with the Campus Center. A secret weapon has been produced; the Sweet Cart.

supported Johnson in 1964, and Humphrey in 1968. They are a party who are against the in­dependent struggle of Black people, Chicanos and the women's movement; so we do have many differences with both those parties. I would like to make it clear that we defend those parties and consider them to be a part of the left movement and our differences with them are small in comparison to the differences we have with the capitalist government. They are | certainly part of the movement [ and we defend them or any of their people when they are at­tacked. For instance, we sup­ported Angela Davis when she was attacked, as did any member of this country who had an ounce of decency. We did help build her defense and backed her' all the way.

As for our party, we are the Socialist Worker Party. We're the people who not only run in elections, but are active on a day to day basis in the different struggles that are taking place in this country. For instance, our party, as well as the Young Socialist Alliance, are the recognized leaders for the anti­war movement. Weareleaders in feminist struggle and are active in the Black and Chicano movements, working on a day to day level. We are also active in the trade union struggle, working to get the various trade unions to break from democratic party and take a stand against the war. We are also the people who believe in a democratic Socialism: we support the kinds of planned economies that exist in the Soviet Union, China, Eastern Europe; but we think that all. those countries have on top of them a f i e'r c e , 'u n d e ni'o c r a t i c, totalitarian form of bureaucracy that w e a re a gainst. We think that those bureaucracies are very wrong and should be booted out on their ear, and a democratic socialism established. When we talk about socialism, if I were going to put it in a nutshell, I would say that we are talking about a planned rational national economy, rather than the one we have today that is owned by a handful of businessmen and bankers. We are talking about democracy, and by this we mean full participation of the American people in decision-making con­cerning areas such as war, pollution, and issues that pertain to our everyday lives. We strongly believe that people

should have the right to control their own minds, their own communities, their own bodies, and their own country. This is what we. are all about - giving the individual the right to control his or her own life.

Circle: What direction is the Women's movement going in at this time?

Ms. Jenness: Well, I think one thing is that we have made a tremendous step in the recent Supreme Court's ruling for women to have the right of abortion in the first 24 weeks of her pregnancy: I think the lack of right to abortion in this country, and around the world for that matter, has definitely-kept women down. The fact that women were not able to plan their careers; whether it be their studying careers or working careers, or if they wanted to have a family, and what size they Wished that family to be was many times governed by the so-called abortion laws! I think that now this victory will give women confidence, and instill in them the desire to fight for social change. Anytime - movement has a vic­tory, it just gives you a taste of satisfaction. You begin to say "what's the next thing we'want? " Therefore, I'm certain that this victory will serve as an impetus' for the women's movement. The; interesting _ thing about this decision is that we won that victory. Five years ago, that decision would have never passed; but through lectures, teach-ins, fund raising, etc., we gained an important victory.

I also think that we have to continue to fight for Equal Rights laws which have been ratified in 27 states, but must be passed in all states in order for the Women's Movement to progress.

Circle: Do you think women will begin to take an even more active role in politics?

Ms. Jenness: I definitely think so. There is no question that" women are moving toward at­taining a more thorough representation in our govern­ment. The women right now have less than 3 percent of the state and federal representation when we are 53 percent of the population in this country. One indication is that recently the Women's National Caucus was held in Houston, and over 2,000 women attended. That is cer­tainly an indication that women are fighting for. more representation. I do believe that the Women's National Caucus is

Academic Affairs mit tee

By Mark FitzGibbon

Once again the topic of the Academic Affairs Committee proposal has been brought up for discussion and two organizations on campus are pushing for its passage. These organizations are die Academic Viability Com­mittee and The Student Academic * Committee. These committees see the value of the proposal, which will give students a voice in deciding their own academic direction. - Under this new proposal the

now existent Academic policy Committee will be superseded by the establishment of the

-Academic. Affairs Committee, which will grant the two student representatives a vote along with the' five faculty members. Although, this is not an equal vote, it is nevertheless a step towards ever better .relations betweenfaculty and students in deciding academic policy. Besides the vote, the/Academic

Affairs Committee proposal will malte the Student Academic Committee, through student body referendums, the equal of the plenary faculty with all rights of

> petition; In other words, all academic programs which come up for plenary faculty approval will also come before the Student Academic Committee for ap­proval. When this occurs, the Student Academic Committee will call a student body referendum to present the program to the student body and hear their opinions. After the referendum; the. Student Academic Committee will vote to either accept ,or reject the program. As can.be plainly seen the Academic Affairs Committee proposal grants students a high order of responsibility which they are able and will: to accept. Hopefully the Academic Affairs Committee will become a reality in the near future.

makinga serious mistake, in that they are trying to change the system by working within the Democratic and Republican parties. Both of those parties represent the capitalist system, they defend the capitalist system and they have no desire in freeing the women of America. Just in this last campaign you saw how the liberal candidate, McGovern, refused to support the women's struggle to repeal the abortion laws. I believe that women should get out of the Democratic and Republican parties and support parties that are working for the feminist struggle.

Even though women are working with these parties, I see that as an expression of women wanting to get involved in the political spectrum.

Circle: is there any value in working within the system, and by this we would mean the Democratic and Republican parties?

If you mean working with the Democratic and Republican parties, I' would say no. I think people have to get out of those parties and start to form a Labor party, a Socialist party, and parties that truly represent the American people. Sometimes when people ask me if there is any point in working within the system, they are talking about working within the electoral college, and running for public office. In regard to this, I think people should run for office whether it be in the electoral system or just on a lower scale. For instance, in our campaign of 1972 where w e ran for office in the electral arena, it proved to be very valuable. We were able to reach millions of people who we wouldn'thave been able to reach rhad we ran outside the electoral system. It showed that the whole thing is rigged and doesn't allow for anyone to step put of the Democratic and Republican party lines. So I do think it is a way of exposing the whole un­democratic setup and a way of reaching people. People should participate in the electoral arena - but not through the Democratic and Republican parties.

Circle: In your biography, it mentions how you were in-

"fluenced by the Cuban Revolution. How did you become a member of the Socialist Party?

Ms. Jenness: Actually, I think my radicalization was rather typical of someone in my generation.Although I am only 32 yearsold, I think that is enough to classify myself in a different generation. I come from a very conservative Southern family, middle class, my father was a

. vetinarian, and the south is where I attended school. The first thing that did influence me was the civil rights movement which took place during the late fifties, when I was in high school. Even though I didn't take part in any of those marches, I was very im­pressed by what I saw on television. 1 simply couldn't understand why blacks weren't allowed the right to even go to the bathroom.

In the early, sixties, I attended Antioch College in Ohio and began to take more of an interest in politics. During the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, I was like most Americans and thought we would be going into World War III over a little island that only .wanted to produce its own sugar. I b egan to do a very careful study of. the Missile Crisis!, and. the Cuban Revolution, while at college; and in 1965, I started to become politically involved. By 1965, the Vietnam war became an issue that I could. not allow myself to sit back on and like many others, I took a.stand!.In .1966 I joined the Young Socialist

Shaping The Shapeless

Into Community by Fr. Leo Gallant

It was in 1938, the Roosevelt era; I was in the CCCs, (Civilian Con­servation Corps) in West Campton, N.H. It was a rough bunch, 200 boys taken off the streets by Roosevelt to live army style, while working in the forests. At the end of each month we were given $8.00 and our families received $22.00 from the government. Eight dollars had to cover smokes, drinking, movies, gambling, contraceptives (10 cents), canteen sweets, etc. for 30 days. Selling anything for money and stealing were common; yet stealing was brutally punished if one was caught doing it in his own barracks.

There was aboy who was slowminded, meek, and friendless. He was the butt of many-iokes, the victim of many pranks. He was like a rag-doll.tossedaround.never a change in his expression; maybe he had no feelings. I never did anything to him. And I know he had feelings because he liked me for that, and often wandered up to me, just to be near me. He didn't speak much. He told me once that he was happy I was never mean to him. I was his real friend:

It was the next day that I decided I wasn't going to be different from the rest. He was standing by a woodpile, leaning on it, only the back of his head showing. I picked up a piece of wood, really just a twig, took aim and scaled it. It cut the top of his head, just a little bit. It couldn't have hurt much, but his head bled. He turned and looked at me, his face still expressionless, but big tears were dropping from his eyes.

I had proved something. I was tough and hard like the rest of them. I walked away w ith a satisfied smirk on my lips. Tom Mahoney, the real camp bully from Revere, Mass., who seemed to thrive on being brutal to the kid, whose name I don't remember, looked at me and said, "I guess there ain't much hope for this world."

Sometimes I write " Shaping: the Shapeless Into Community" with the screwiest lump in my throat.

Placement

Greenhaven - Part II Dear Community Member:

New York State prisons have recently been subject to a number of violent rebellions and disorders. According to the

i Correction Administration the cause of these violent disorders are a small core of "militant" prisoners with "radical" social and political beliefs. However, since Attica the findings of various investigating committees and commissions have revealed three statistical facts:

1. The overwhelming majority of prisoners are the products of the large urban areas where social denial and economic deprivation are the prevailing facts of life.

2. That at least 95 percent of these prisoners return to these deprived areas and cir­cumstances. . ...

3. That there is now a direct relationship between state prisons and these urban crisis areas, that is clearly stated in ^current crime and recidivism rates. *

It is the dooming life-view and circumstances of these facts which determine a prisoners perspective of both his im­prisonment and his future upon release. Thus prisoners are not rebelling against prison con­ditions, rather they are rebelling against the facts of their lives. The concern and involvement of their prison activity spring from an awareness that prison is but a

by Rich Kohrumel

Let's face it: the major part of our efforts here at Marist College are, directly or indirectly related to the preparing for employment upon graduation. The job market today is not like that of five or six years ago; no longer are the companies begging students to join with them. By far, the shoe has been handed over to the employers, who in the tight economy of present days, can custom fit each of their job openings to the "T" and at their convenience. Let's face this too: the college placement office-be it that of Marist or Marquette, is only a key steppingstone now, rather than an office of only job-landing.

Granted, the placement office is still giving 110 percent in at­tracting the few companies that are still willing to come to campuses. But the majority of work must now be done by each and every student. And the placement office now can be considered your real "professional advisor". Just as you rely and shed dependence on your student and faculty ad­visors, = the same but "professionally or ien ted" dependence is each individuals burden which the placement office is trying to share. One Marquette senior recently stated that the best jobs are the ones that you land yourself. "If you don't have that much initiative," she says, "you probably weren't college material to begin with". To. her, the placement office means a last resort. This, however, should not be the case. Many students, unaware of what the placement office does or how it could help them, hold only distrust for the office.

At Tulane University, just as is the case here and most cam­puses,' 'students don't don't know us, yet we're here." Career seminars are usually not well attended, despite the 'obvious

advantages'. The seminar held in the campus center last semester drew only 21, yet this was far more than showed up for a similar seminar two years ago. The filming of "Insight into In­terviewing" drew only 8-10 students, perhaps to be explained somewhat by competition from a double-feature C.U.B. effort. Nevertheless, the latter taping came out very well and is available at any future time for viewing upon request by any student.

A current trend of late is to give students "field experience" prior to graduation. Elvira College is one that requires such experience to graduate, in which the Placement Office is loosely connected. Marist itself does have the growing attention of many departments. Mr. Rodgers of the Math Department for one, recently has set up interested students to work with large banks in the Poughkeepsie area. Mr. Jorden of the Business Depart­ment has many students in up­per-level course attaining first­hand experience in the job market through county projects, corporate projects, etc. Other departments here are currently

. involved in student field programs at rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and prisons to name a few. Students, in these programs are the same ones that are the first to have their resumes made and the first to write to prospective employers.

Thus, it is our hope that each student raises his or her con­sciousness of what is in store for the future. Freshmen should not wait three years to start looking for a job-he should, at least be aware of what a resume is, when and how it should be written, how his or her summer work ex­perience can be. a decisive factor for landing a job years from now, etc.

Be aware; press yourself now!

microcosmic and highly con­centrated reproduction of the

'broader society, and what transpires in prison is but a greatly focussed mirror of societal living. Is it any wonder that their concern and in-.volvement reach beyond these prison walls? That their concern and involvement are social and political in nature is because their concern for the future after release from prison demands an involvement with their present imprisonment.

That the predominate number of state prisoners are derived from specific communities in the large urban areas, that because social pressures funnel them right back to ths deprived cir­cumstances of these areas, reveal the direct relationship that now exists between state prisons and urban crisis areas. This direct relationship is fairly new and reflects the changes that have occurred in prison populations in the past two decades. That no relevant con­comitant changes in prison programs and policies have been instituted during this period has resulted in the present conflicts and confrontations motivating recent prison rebellions.

Traditional (present) prison programs do not address the direct relationship that now exists between state prisons and the urban crisis areas from which prison populations are now

Coed Floor Proposal

Should the second floor of Sheahan Hall be made co-ed? This question has plagued Sheahan residents, Housemaster Jerry Kelly, and Residence Director Fred Lambert. Three Sheahan house meetings were held in these last three weeks to further discuss the problem and to gather the opinions of some reputable outsiders: Mrs. Gerry Breen, Dr. Eidle, and Brother Xavier Ryan. These discussions created a partial conciousness in residents as to which direction the Sheahan community will take in the coming semester.

There were threats of a sexuality, that a co-ed floor would simulate communal conditions which would deny the sexuality of each of its inhabitants. There were those who thought that deemphasizing sex was good, that it would foster a brother and sister type living. And, as always, there were those who could neither anticipate nor deal with problems posed, showing the co­ed floor question more in­fatuation than analyzation.

Some motives were present; some were nowhere . in sight. Some residents believe that a co­ed floor would increase in­teraction among house members. Residents argue that the present divided structure makes it possible to isolate oneself and forget about the surrounding others, thus making house unity difficult if not possible.

An original reason for con­sidering the integrated floor concerned, paradxically, not present Sheahanites, but former

house members now^ abroad. It was feared that some of next

"semester's returning girls would be refused admittance, because of space limitation (Girls occupy one of Sheahan's three floors). Early in the struggle for the new floor, Sheahan girls were accused of putting forth the co-ed proposal to accomodate those returning from Europe. After violently objecting to the pointed inqueries, the girls proved their sincerity when Fred Lambert assured all former residents a place in Sheahan; the talk of a co­ed floor continued.

Sheahan has felt, through the occurances of the past few weeks, . a gentle vibration from the rest of Marist. Perhaps the Admissions personel are concerned with a co­ed floor's effect on incoming freshman enrollment. Perhaps Marist's former religious af­filiations are being rekindled on a proposal which threatens an , increase in dormitory promiscuity.

Who will, then, make the final decision on Sheahan's co-ed floor? A survey was taken last week to gauge the developing feelings of Sheehan's residents. The results favored a co-ed floor 45 to 20, although there are 104 people living in Sheahan, What will happen now? Fred Lambert has claimed the final word in the matter. He has stated, however, that he would have to seriously consider any strong student assertion. To date, Mr. Lambert has played the role of observer, witfi a few breaks in character.

derived. This can be readily seen in regard to that so-called "small group of militants and radicals." The social and political activities of these prisoners are not recognized as an outgrowth of a concern and involvement with the peculiar life-circumstance of their imprisonment, and is defined by traditional penal policy as threatening and disruptive behavior. No prison programs exist to develope this concern, to channel it towards existing vehicles of expression. As a result concern becomes conflict and involvement, con­frontation.

Perhaps the most horrid ap­proach adopted by the prison administration to the inmate social activist is the creation of MAXI-MAXI, recently modified in the face of public disclaim to the "Perscription Program" or "RX Program." Considering the social value of their concern and involvement, the authors of the "THINK TANK" concept (all inmate activists) seek to develope and utilize such activity in the solution of what we define as our life situation.

For more information about the THINK TANK CONCEPT and how your involvement can be utilized as a realistic solution to the rising crime and recidivism rates which threaten the very life of our community, please contact the following: Mr. Dasil Velez, S u p e r v i s o r , C o r r e c t i o n a l Volunteer Services, Green Haven Correctional Facility, Stormville, New York 12582.

Race Problems One of the most salient, yet most ignored problems here at Marist

College is the problem of race. The rift between blacks and whites is a rift that faculty students, and administration would do well to con­sider. Communication between the races has been poor, to say the least. Some may argue that fruitful communications are impossible either because of some deep cultural disjunction, or because of some factor particular to Marist College. Certainly, the sequestration of the races, with blacks in Benoit and whites in all the other dorms poses an unmistakeable barrier to dialogue.

There can be no doubt that mere is a reason for that barrier, a reason that perhaps Marist's black students could make clear to whites. Whites and blacks alike should, at least for the moment, drop all notions of culpability and engage in a frank exchange with one another. Stop mincing words! Tackle, if you can, the delicate questions of race relations on the Marist campus, the questions of financial aid, of residence policies, of poor versus middle class. If, in fact, blacks and whites want to talk to each other, why don't we con­sider the forum established and the avenue of discussion open?

CUB Elections The annual CUB elections are complete and after a week of less than

vigorous, less than thoughtful, campaigning one feels that somehow we reverted back to high school days and those old election tactics. Suddenly familiar promises and cliches abounded. "Vote for me and we'll have more school dances" but remember "Actions speak louder than words." Yet flie phrases echoed now in Marist College hallways rather than your local high school. Or did they echo? We wonder if a Marist campaign has been reduced to floods of mimeographed sheeets

anonymously filtered beneath doormat all hours of the night and day. Or is it merely the mobilization of vying factions of friends? Are can­didates too cemented to the traditional roles of "enemy" to jointly present ideas in one publication and save the student from, the usual flood of papers and poor posters? Bud Man asks if you have good taste and endorces his candidate: commuters are told that they have no choice but to vote for Me. How far have we progressed from a high school frosh mentality?

Was any real thought, worthwhile constructive material presented in the campaign by any faction? CUB has the potential to evolve from pure entertainment; to the level of education through combining the both. Yet no candidate had the creativity, or perhaps courage, to present a program utilizing the channels of entertainment available towards achieving a truly worthwhile, educational CUB platform. If we want purely entertainment, why not trade in all the video-tape equipment, abolish lectures, forget anything at the level of performing arts and use that money for the "big concerts" which undoubtedly would be enjoyable.

And is there absolutely no degree of professionalism in a Marist College campaign? Forceful statements were issued during early morning election hours and as the last few minutes of voting time ticked away, people were still being coaxed into voting for the desired side in sudden door-to-door tactics. One would think that there is still a definite distinction between persuasion and presentations, as well as the necessity of ttie peace of Election Day in which the voter can form his own opinion.

Does a college student need gimmicks to win his loyalty to a can­didate? Somehow the tactics of this campaign seem not to be based on the premise of dealing with intelligent, thoughtful human beings. The students were prizes to be won. Do we need to be lured to .one side with a discount book strategically presented before the elections? Or, can we accept the appearance of a potent statement against the rival leaving insufficient cppprcunity for debate? There were faults on all sides.

And one cannot lay the blame on the shoulders of the candidates alone. So few people appeared for the open forum with the candidates on Election eve that the apathy of the majority was apparent. We are sure that Marist College,.in working more cooperatively with the people running for offices, could have raised the level of this campaign or any other to one more indicative of a so-called college "com­munity". After all, isn'ta candidate a representative of the people, not of one segment previously aligned with them as so often happens on this campus? The. more diverse the followings, the more represen­tative and satisfying the candidate.

One would hope that future campaigning disavows the games of politics which are so easy to play when there are no alternatives created. But especially, one would demand to be approached as a person residing on this campus yet still possessing the ability to choose intelligently among the candidates on more than an emotional level.

The election is over, the new board has been elected: or did it just haphazardly fall into place? Let us hope that something more con­structive is born from their new positions than came from their old roles as candidates.

Guest Editorial

Act Now For the past two years an issue of academic power and symbolism

has been before us. The issue is this: Should the students have a voice and become voting members on the Academic Policy Committee. The proposal for the Academic Affairs Committee would provide this.

Time is running short, and so are tempers: Bureaucracy has had two years in which to operate and finalize a decision. We call upon the Student Academic Committee and the Special Faculty Committee to take the leadership role in the decision making process.

Two years of promises is enough! We endorse the proposal of an Academic Affairs Committee with student representation.

The essence of College Community is at stake. EdKissling

Dear Mr. Flynn: .This letter is in response to

your request for suggestions on how we possibly can attract and hold more students to Marist College.

It seems to me what is needed is a detailed brochure or booklet compiling programs that show how Marist College is really quite different from other schools of its size or type. Once this in­formation is available, and we should have this soon, then your office and Mr.. Dougherty can "spread the word'.' by the use of media, seminars, students and faculty high school recruiters who are involved in these novel programs and by this aggressive public relations commitment we could hope to attract additional student personnel of all ages.

The programs I am involved with, all under the Applied Topics in Science (9 credits) course are the following:

l. Alternative Education -readings around the education system and how to teach high school or grade school in an alternative, non-traditional manner. Students enrolled in this course work full time in area "resource centers" in the Poughkeepsie Public School system, or perhaps set up their own school for "pushed-out" high school students and attempt high school equivalency, tutoring and other programs or teach at the Hudson River State Hospital education program for long term residents ready to return to society.

2. Rural Poverty in Dutchess County - Dover Plains Project -Students read and hold seminars on vrural poverty in Dutchess County and live among the rural population. The students work on projects in the local schools as reading skills instructors ("teacher aides"), tutoring, day care and youth centers. . ,

3.. Environmental Studies -Readings and studies around environmental problems of the globe with special emphasis on Dutchess County and national problems. Projects are either scientific, such as water pollution studies, political or en­vironmental education depending on student's training and in­terest.

4. Biology-Chemistry In­ternship at St. Francis Hospital. A limited number (so far 2 per semester) of upper class biology or chemistry majors work under the supervision of the Chief Pathologist at the hospital in various hospital laboratories such as the urine, hemotology, autopsy, microbiology, pathology laboratories. This experience constitutes a "practical" biochemistry experience.

In addition, 2 students this semester in the Applied Topics course, Mr. John Zoda and Mr. Nicholas Seketa with Mr. Ed­ward Keneally and myself coordinating are attempting to set up an oceanography course to be taught evenings by a Naval Oceanographer to be started on a pilot basis, March 7, 1973. The course outline will be sent to you

and this is an experimental at­tempt at possibly setting up a full semester, or possibly year, video tape oceanography course, for science as well as non-science

-majors. ,1 will .have more, in­formation by the end of the semester after we see what the response is, etc. I am quite ex­cited about this course possibility at this time. Campus publicity will be forthcoming soon.

The above, I hope, gives you some idea of the areas of ex­perimental education we are involved with. If you have any further questions please feel free to call.

Very truly yours, M.J. Michelson

Open Forum Cont. Four Years Of Business

Academic Affairs Dear Marist Students,

On February 16, I had the tremendous good fortune to witness the Academic Policy's Colloquium. At this meeting of the minds, the discussions were to concern academic philosophy (whatever that is) at Marist College. I guess they figured that the students who hired them need notbe present or overly informed of a" meeting to decide "their" future. Or maybe, we're just too naive or ignorant to understand their hostile actions. Whatever the reason, the Colloquium un­folded to present a group who seemed to shake when any mention of innovation came up. For, when one faculty member decided to take the floor and discuss policies relevant to us (the students) - ideas that could save us from the deadly fate of academic boredom, he was practically hissed at as the faculty ripped into him sar­castically and spoke loudly in what I would term as defensive outburts. In an attempt to hide these defensive feelings, one member shouted that "THEY ALL AGREED," while another said he felt it was more important to discuss not "our" future but ways to entice the high school senior, especially girls to Marist

College! Now, it is very clear to me the

meaning of these Academic Policy meetings: it is a chance for the "rulers of this school" to demonstrate their power. I can not convey how disturbing it was to realize that we are of no concern to these men and women. We are at the mercy of their educational whims; and, all we can do is sit back and watch as they literally bore us to death!

I see how why apathy exists on campus; it is totally encouraged by ttie lifeless men, who if we object to their method, can only make us feel that we have not the experience to formulate our own opinions and then force us down once again into the deep abyss of boredom.

So, I invite all students to at­tend the next secret Colloquium and, learn about your teacher -you too can witness the hostility and childishness of the person who prepares you for your future.

Or, better yet, I invite the faculty of this school to give a better presentation of both the new and traditional, instead of shouting down any idea that they feel might threaten themselves as teachers.

Sincerely yours, Beth-Ann Marsh

To: The Editors of The Circle and all underclassmen

At the risk of sounding presumptuous and supercilious, I feel that a lesson can be learned from my experiences at Marist College, especially from my encounters with the staff in the Business Office.

It all started on Registration Day in 1969, my freshman year. After standing in lengthy lines in hopes of registering, I was in­formed that I was required to first pay the tuition fees. I presented a notice from the New York State Regents Scholarship Center acknowledging that it would provide enough funds to cover the tuition. I was allowed to register once again only to find that two weeks later I was deleted from my courses. The secretary in the Business Office explained that it took time to process the notification of my award. After another registration, I was finally enrolled in my classes.

I considered this incident just that -- a singular incident an anomaly. Little did I know that I was destined to repeat this cir­cuitous registration - re-registration procedure each and every semester until my senior year. Time and again I tried to correct this chronic misun­derstanding, but always to no avail. In some instances I had not received the notification, from the Regents Center but I always received the award eventually. Yet, I was deleted from my courses after informing the staff in „ the Business Office that I would receive it soon. The only reply I received was, "How do we

SAC. Applications Asked Election

Question by Mark FitzGibbon

Last week I sent letters out to the entire student body asking interested students to join the Student Academic Committee. However, questions were brought up as to the effectiveness and the purpose of the committee. As of this moment I personally must admit that the effectiveness of the Student Academic Committee has been almost non-existent. Due to poor leadership and weak organization the Student Academic Committee has rarely, if ever, been the potent com­mittee it was intended to be. Two weeks ago, due to the recent resignation of the committee's chairman, I was nominated to assume temporary chair­manship. Since then I have taken some important steps to make the Student Academic Committee more meaningful to "the entire student body. (These steps will be presented in detail in the first newsletter of the S. A.C.which will be out next week.)

The purpose of the Student Academic Committee it is to provide leadership for the student body in the pursuit of academic objectives. To ac­complish this the Student Academic Committee establishes firm lines of communication so as to channel all information dealing with academic affairs from the departmental and Academic Policy Committee meetings to the student body and vise versa. Besides being an information flow, the Student Academic Committee organizes and explores avenues of curricular growth and development in all academic fields. The Student Academic Committee also assists wherever possible in promoting student programs, and proposals in academic matters.

The Student Academic Com­mittee is composed of student

representatives from each of the departments. These students sit in on all departmental meetings and report the proceedings to the Student Academic Committee. In turn, the Student Academic Committee reports to the student body. Your present represen­tatives are the following:

AMERICAN STUDIES - Bill Mayeran, P.O. Box C-314; BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS -Mark FitzGibbon, P.O. Box L-82; HISTORY - Marty McGowan, G r e g o r y H o u s e ; MATHEMATICS - Richard Tomaszewski, P.O.

Dear Jack, Even though the election

results are not in yet, I feel I must write this letter. I was present at the meeting Thursday night. I am now very disillusioned with C.U.B. It seems to me that the whole idea of meeting the can­didate was a waste of time because of people's personal grudges. Your remarks about Bob Greene may be true, but I feel this was not the place to bring them up-because it is an issue between you and him. It was very obvious that you are for Eric, but it is your job as president to remain neutral in campaigns. Also, I do not think there was an excuse for walking out on Bob' rebuttal. He listened to you and you should have given him equal time. I use to think you were a pretty good president but my opinion has now changed. Also in the next election the election commissions or someone else from C.U.B. (not one of the four officers) should be in charge* -.someone who thinks before he acts.

Drug Solution To The Editors:

-Governor Rockefeller has proposed life imprisonment for hard drug pushers. He also ad­mits that "we have spent $1,000,000,000 so far and we have achieved very little rehabilitation arid we have found no cure."

Yet Teen Challenge Institute and other groups have witnessed complete and sudden cures through prayer. Jesus people have turned off drugs all over the

country. Marist College has a serious

drug problem, more serious than it has ever been (and I'm not talking about marijuana). All are at a loss for a solution. For those who believe in the power of prayer, the 5 p.m. Liturgy every Wednesday will be for that in­tention.

know you're getting money from them?" "But I always do." "Yes, but we can't be sure about this year."

Last semester, I was finally able to eschew deletion, but it took a lot of doing. I had to take a day off from work in order to secure a written affidavit from the Model Cities Agency saying that they would be paying a part of my tuition. (I had to ask for financial assistance from the agency in order to defray the increase in tuition fees). Mr. LaRose reluctantly accepted the affidavit in lieu of the money. It took some convincing, but I was able to persuade Mr. LaRose from deleting nic although the notification from the Regents Center had not arrived yet.

The insensibility of the Business Office goes beyond tuition transactions. The other day. I asked the secretary!for the check for my tuition refund. She politely obliged. I asked if she would cash it for me. She asked for my I.D. card. I told her that I had lost it. "Then I'm sorry but I can't cash it," she replied. I of­fered my driver's license, Social Security card and my draft card. "I'm going to have to ask the boss,"sheanswered. Mr. LaRose said he would not cash the check. I asked why Marist College would not honor a Marist College check and told him that the logic behind giving me a check without identification yet requiring identification in a matter of seconds to cash the same check

escaped me. He suggested that I apply for a new I.D. card (which costs only three dollars - a steal) and return in a few days with the card. With only three months left at Marist, I declined to follow his ridiculous suggestion.

At this point, I have given up hope for the staff in the Business Office. If ever Dr. Lawrence J. Peters were to view the staff I'm sure he would agree that they are the apotheosis of the Peter 'Principle - man rises until he reaches the level of his in­competence. The members of the .Staff have apparently reached their respective levels. For, if a purpose of the Business Office is to insure that only non-paying students are deleted in that regard they have been in­competent as far as I have been concerned. Moreover, it seems that the people in the Business Office are inclined to be cynical when a promise is made that payment is forthcoming. And to pay homage to a senseless rule that Marist I.D. cards are the only acceptable means of iden­tification or. campus is the blind obedience that has been the downfall of many people.

It is up to the students to make their dissatisfaction with the Business Office known. I am but one of the many who has found that place a continuous source of frustration. It is almost laughable, but, then again, I have only three months left here. Pity the poor underclassmen!

Commuters And Space Planning

Recently the Space Committee met and discussed possible long-ranged goals concerning space utilization on Marist Campus. Some of those proposals discussed were moving the Donnelly Library into Fontain, moving the computer center into Donnelly, and moving main­tenance office into Fontain. One especially important point which was brought up was a proposal to move the present Commuter Lounge into the librarians office (across from Donnelly library).

Aside from the fact that the Commuter Union has put time and effort in renovating the lounge, it is easy to see that there are other difficulties to be found. In terms of size and atmosphere,

this new location cannot compare with its present location. The size of the proposed location is con­siderably smaller than that of the present lounge. This would not only decrease the possible number of people that can occupy it but would take away from the atmosphere of a "lounge"; another difficulty being the lack of windows in the new proposed location.

The Commuter Union has contributed much to the present condition of the lounge and we feel that the "Space Committee" should take a closer look at the possible disadvantage sighted above.

Commuter Union

Recycling Over the past two years, the

United States as a nation has imported more than she has exported. Two major factors which contributed to this were the import-export ratio of non-ferous base metals, and paper and manufactures. In the fiscal year of 1970 America imported 1,087 million dollars worth of paper and manufactures, while exporting only 622 million dollars worth of them. At that rate in the fiscal year of 1970, America imported 465 million dollars more worth of paper and manufactures than she exported. In the fiscal year of 1971 America imported 1,157 million dollars more worth of paper and manufactures, while in that same year she only ex­ported 893 million dollars worth of them. At that rate in the fiscal year of 1971, America imported 264 million dollars more worth of paper and manufactures than she exported. In the fiscal year of 1970 America imported 1,502 million dollars worth of non-ferous base metals, while in that

same year she only exported 893 million dollars worth of these metals. At that rate in the fiscal year of 1970 America imported 609 million dollars more worth of non-ferous base metals than she exported. In the fiscal year of 1971 America imported 1,432 million dollars "worth of non-ferous base, metals, while in that same year she only exported 597 million dollars worth of them. At that rate in the fiscal year of 1971 America imported 835 million dollars more worth of non-ferous base metals then she exported.

The only way I can see America stopping this imbalance of trade, is for her to start recycling projects in this country and keep them going. When you think of all the bottles, cans, and newspapers that are thrown away without being recycled in this country, you don't have* to ask why ve have an imbalance of trade. What we need to do on this campus is to set up a system

Peace Treaty Question And Answers Submitted by Bernard Mulligar

QUESTION: What is National Peace Action Coalition's view of the recently signed military ceasefire in Vietnam?

ANSWER: The National Peace Action Coalition warmly welcomes the halt to the savage U.S. bombing and shelling of Vietnam and the announced return of American GIs. These are significant victories for antiwar forces throughout the world and for the Vietnamese people. But there can be nc genuine peace in Vietnam until the U.S. gets ENTIRELY out of Southeast Asia. NPAC is ex­tremely wary of any promises the U.S. makes to end the war short of just pulling out all U.S. troops, bases, planes, ships, and'wai material, leaving Southeast Asia to the people who live there. ;

In Nixon's announcement of a Vietnam ceasefire he stated: "In the settlement that has now been agreed to, all the conditions I laid down have been met...this set­tlement meets the goals and has the full support of President Thieu..." It is clear that the Vietnamese people have been forced - through years of U.S. terror bombing, warfare, and destruction -, to make huge concessions to the U.S. -The Vietnamese have been forced by U.S. aggression into the position of having to bargain for what should be a non-negotiable, inalienable right - the right to run their own country as they see fit.

NPAC supports 100 percent the right of the Vietnamese people to make any decisions or sign any agreements they may deem necessary in their long struggle to rid themselves of U.S. military and political interference in their country.. The demand of the

"American antiwar movement, however, must continue to be that the U. S. government has NO right to be in Southeast Asia in ANY form, and has no right placing conditions on and demanding concessions from Asian people.

QUESTION: The military ceasefire is signed. Specifically, how does U.S. intervention in Southeast Asia continue?

ANSWER: The military ceasefire, far from ending U.S. intervention in Southeast Asia, allows the U.S. to continue to control much of South Vietnam through the puppet Thieu regime,: despite Nixon's rhetoric about V i e t n a m e s e ' ' s e l f -determination". Massive U.S. economic and military support to the dictatorship of Thieu ,will continue under the ceasefire terms. Thousands of U.S. "civilian advisors" will be stationed in South Vietnam and other parts of Indochina. A massive American military presence-land, sea, and air-will remain positioned in Thailand, Guam, and the South China Sea, available to go to Thieu's rescue on a moment's notice with new bombing and shelling. Hundreds of U.S. warplanes and tons of munitions have already been rushed to Thieu's generals to help them consolidate their hold. Thieu's one-million member

police and military apparatus. will remain under the protective' shield of the Nixon ad­ministration. The Thieu regime has already stepped up its,, campaign of terror against the Vietnamese population, using: brutalpolice state measures. The. U.S. will continue to involve it-' self-on the side of the Thieu dictatorship.

The Thieu regime is only the latest in a succession of regimes1

that have been installed, and maintained by the U.S. govern­ment contrary to the will of the Vietnamese people. Nixon treats American and world opinion with utter contempt when he says that the people of South Vietnam will be living in freedom. What kind of freedom is there for the 200,000-300,000 political prisoners in Thieu's dungeons-prisoners who are not freed under the terms of theceasefire. Howmuch freedom will his recently issued "shoot on the spot" decrees permit? Is there any doubt that any political opponents who surface will be summarily executed by Thieu's forces? Does Nixon expect us to believe that there will be free speech, free press, or free elections in any area ruled by Thieu? What can of freedom will there be with U.S. military "observers" and international " s u p e r v i s o r s " overseeing Vietnamese internal affairs?

The ceasefire does not free Laos and Cambodia from the Nixon administration's clutches, and these countries are presently being POUNDED by U.S. war-planes-in "preparation" for "eventual" ceasefires. Puppet regimes in both countries will continue to receive U.S. support, without which they would not survive.

QUESTION: Does the signing of the military ceasefire rule out a future re-escalation in Southeast Asia?

ANSWER: As long as the U.S. weapons of war remain in Southeast Asia, there is the constant potential for U.S. re-escalation. The U. S. has made it clear that U.S. planes and ships will be used to "retaliate" if it deems that the ceasefire terms have been "violated". There is the very real possibility that any

• resistance to Thieus stepped-up campaign of terror and op­pression will be termed as "enemy sabotage" and used as a pretext to re^escalate the war.

The whole sordid history of the Vietnam war-as the Pen-tagon_Papers prove--is one of lies and deceptions by successive administrations. More than one president has attempted to demobilize antiwar sentiment and activity in order to buy more time to insure a continued U.S. presence in Southeast Asia. THERE IS ONE THING WE CAN BE SURE OF-if the U.S. had absolutely no intention of re-escalating-if Nixon were seeking; a genuine and lasting peace-there would be no reason to leave U.S. "civilian advisors" or weapons of war in Southeast Asia or to ITEMIZE any conditions for the halting of U.S. war efforts in Vietnam. The constant threat of massive- retaliation is a con-

Recycling, from page 5

where we separate our refuse into three different catagories: 1) glass, metal, and plastic products, 2) paper, cardboard, and anything that can be burned, and 3) food wastes and anything that is not recyclable. This system of separating refuse is already in operation in C l e v e l a n d , P r o v i d e n c e , Baltimore, Philadelphia, Des Moines, and Pasadena, California. Manufacturers, try to tell you that recycling is not

feasible, but they don't tell you about deficit in trade. They know recycling could cut it down or possibly eliminate it. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do anything about eliminating our deficit of trade, because you can be separating your refuse for recycling purposes. Anyone who cares to tell you why we don't need, or do need, a recycling project is open to do it.

tinuation of the U.S. govern­ment's diplomacy of terror.

QUESTION: Now that the ceasefire has been signed, what does the National Peace Action Coalition intend to do within the next few months?

ANSWER: NPAC will continue to unconditionally defend the Vietnamese right to self-determination no matter how the Vietnamese decide to run their country. To do otherwise would be in effect to recognize the in­tervention of the U.S.^in the in­ternal affairs of Vietnam, and all of Indochina, as legitimate. NPAC will continue to stress that just as the U.S. government had absolutely no right to negotiate the future of Vietnam, the U.S. has no right to continue to impose its will on the Vietnamese people through its presence in Southeast Asia and through its threats of forceful retaliation if the accords are "violated".

The U.S. antiwar movement has played a crucial role throughout the history of the war. Massive antiwar sentiment forced Nixon to.end the invasions of Laos and Cambodia and to withdraw one half million ground troops from Vietnam. The resilience and spirit of the Vietnamese people and the growing power and momentum of the world antiwar movement forced Nixon to end the hideous bombing of Hanoi and Hajphong in December. Massive public sentiment has now forced Nixon to halt the bombing of Vietnam and to bring the remaining GIs home.

The vigilance of the antiwar movement is more necessary now than ever before to prevent Nixon from maneuvering with -people's lives, or from laying the groundwork for a massive U.S. re-escalation. We must continue to demand the kind of peace that

insures that Asian people stop dying from U.S. aggression permanently-not just for a few days, weeks, or months. The only way that this can be insured is for the U.S. to get OUT--immediately, totally, and un­conditionally. -

Third World Members Attend Indiana Conference

By Richi Green

On Thursday, February 8, six brothers, Richard Green, Stan Smith, Raymond Green, Neville Boiling, Joe Stanley and Rodney Chandler, left Marist College to attend a convention at Indiana State Univ., Terre Haute, In­diana. The purpose of this trip was to represent the two Third World organizations on campus, Black Student Union and Third World Alliance. The purpose of the convention was to create a nationally -based "Third World Student Organization," that would be a coordinated effort, designed to unite all third world students in colleges throughout America under one main body. This body would air the grievances, communicate the developments that would be of interest to the collective student communities and act as a liason with the community of workers., This organization would also assume the vanguard in striving for the academic rights of those who avail themselves to its services.

Upon arrival to the Conference Friday evening, "The Brothers from the New York Region" as we were to be later dubbed, assumed a leading role not only in the various workshops, but in the general forums, where the various problems were brought before the collective, for such actions as resolutions. In securing the name for the organization, the "Marist College Brothers" were responsible for naming the organization. Richard Green's suggestion (Union of Third World Students) was unanimously accepted. The "Brothers from New York" were then responsible for writing the Preamble, with the help of the contingent from Genesee College, Flint, Michigan. It read as follows: - \

Although it is the specific purpose of each of us here to acquire those skills that will bring a greater Liberation of our people. We also understand that our education involves more than academics. Moreover without certain basic securities our own academic endeavors become struggles far removed from the pursuit of knowledge. Therefore • we have come together to dedicate ourselves to the perpetuation and ex­ploration of Third World culture, goals, and

• aspirations. This-combined

with the sweet warmth of our brotherhood and unique situation in this land of oppression, and all other areas in the world. Let it be understood that the Union of Third World Students willbe the negotiating body of all Third World people that wish to avail them­selves to its services.

Furthermore the Union of Third World Students will be the representative body of all those people who subscribe to our codes and purposes.

The Marist delegation were involved actively in all debates. Richard Green_ assumed the leading role as the "debater." whenever a controversial question was raised. The "Marist College Brothers" also wrote one resolution on the "First Call to Action" dated February 11, 1973. That would be disseminated. (Resolution l.) As an organization of Third World Students we support the Afrikan Liberation Movements:

A) - Afrikan Party for the in­dependence of- Guinea-Bissau, and Cape Verde Islands (P.A.LG.C.) where Amilcar Cabral was murdered.

- A z a n i a n S t u d e n t Organization (South Afrika) '

- Frelimo (Front for the liberation of Mozambique)

-Movement in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) against the Portugese construct on of Cabarar Baussa. " - Protest against U.S financial support to Por-

. tugal, the perpetrator of the illegal wars against Afrikan Independence.

- M.P.L.A., , (Peoples Movement for Liberation of Angola)

B) We must snow bur solidarity with our Asian brothers and sisters by raising funds for the Bach Mai Hospital and Children's Hospital in Viet Nam. We must also demand an end to U.S. in­terference in all of South-East Asia's affairs.

Joe Stanley and Raymond Green kept Richard Green well informed on ensuing issues from the table. Neville Boiling carried on the struggle that dealt with social injustices in America. Stan Smith took up the struggle with the "sisters." He was carrying on his task with greater fervor than the rest of the delegation. By the third day of the Convention, the other delegates were well aware of our presence.

When it was time to start the long journey back to New York,

we were all under the unanimous agreement that the trip was a highly valuable experience in the struggle of the Third World people at Marist College, the United States and the world. The ground work was also set for the formation of an "International Third . World Student Organization." We all agreed that the work had just begun. Struggle is an intrinsic part of Third World History.

Upon arrival at Marist College, the "De-briefing" came from not only the Third World Members on campus, but all concerned members of the faculty; "Doc" Michelson, Mrs. Carolyn Landau and Mr. Jerry Breen.

Reminiscing the events, we felt the entire trip was a very im­portant lesson in our educational experience, the need of solidification amongst Third World and all students, and above all our own roles in the never ending struggle for equality, and an end to oppression. The Third World People of Marist College are now known to other brothers and sisters throughout the United States. One hundred four-year colleges, and fifty-three two-year colleges were represented. Over 500 /people were present. The Native Americans New University (American-Indian). was represented for the first at a student convention.

I would like to close with the words of a great revolutionary, and statesman of the Third World, the late Kwame Nkrumah:

"Education consists not only in the sum of what a man knows, or the skill With which he can put this to his own advantage. In my view, a man's education must also be measured in terms of the soundness of his judgment of people and things, and in his power to understand and appreciate the needs of his fellow-men; and to be of service to them. The educated man should be so sensitive to the conditions around him that he makes it his chief endeavor to . improve those conditions for the good of all."

The Third World Alliance and the Marist College Union Board Lecture Committee will present Derek Morrison who will speak on "Black Nationalism and Socialism" in the theater on Thursday^ March 8 at 8700. p.m.

Tim Murphy Takes Second In N.Y.S. Pentathalon Tim Murphy, representing the

Marist College track team, placed second in the New York State Indoor Pentathlon Championships over the weekend. Syracuse University hosted the meet where, besides the state title, the USTFF Eastern Indoor Pentathlon Championship was also con­tested.

The pentathlon consists of five events: 200 meter dash; long jump; shot put; high jump; and 1500 meter run, in that order, in a one-day meet. Each competitor participates in each of the five events to the best of his ability and scores points based on his running time or distance achieved in that event. This is based on a complicated, but fully complete, scoring table similar to the one used in the Olympic Decathlon. Basically, the maximum for each event is around 1000 points; although by passing the world records in events, it is also possible to score more than the 1000 total.

When the competition was over, Murphy finished with a total of 3000 points and missed first by only five points. Steve Buso of Oswego State, and a resident of. nearby Hyde Park, who competed for F.D. Roosevelt High School, scored 3005 points for first place. This was Mur­phy's first try at a Pentathlon and the first time he ever threw the shot in tough competition (although the previous day he had thrown 37'4" to place third against Queens and Iona Colleges in a triangular meet for Marist) or first time he ran the 1500 meters. Also, he had never run the 200 meter dash, although he

Marist track star Tim Murphy.

had run the 220 yard dash on several occasions.

The first event contested was the 200 meter dash and Murphy was the only competitor of the 26 man field who was placed in a heat of just two men; the others were all in heats of three. Murphy had the best time-of all the 17 participants in his New York State championships with a 23.9 clocking. This scored him . 653 points and a first place in his competition. Only two men in the USTFF division beat-his time, and they ran 22.8 and 23.5, so he clocked the third best time of the day.

In the second event of the day, the long jump, Tim had the best jump of his field with a leap "of 6.20 meters, or 20'4", below his Marist record of 21'8". Most of the competitors complained of a poor jumping pit in the long and high jumps, and bad approaches which hurt the distances of all competi tors considerably. Landry also achieved a jump of 6.20 meters and Buso was fifth best in this New York State

Hysteria, heartache, and utter nausea returned to the Basketball court this past Sunday as members of the Marist Circle K and Poughkeepsie High School Key Club met in bitter opposition. After their first and only practice about four weeks ago the Marist Circle K squad of 17, headed by coaches Chester A. Kubin and Nick Seketa, anticipated that they would be in excellent form for the big February 25th playoff. Unfortunately the team was mistaken. For in the first half alone they had played their entire team; all three strings. The Marist Circle K'ers retired to their bench effete, as far as they were concerned the game had ended. Yet due to the unceasing spirit of coach Chester, which was accompanied by weakening cries of "Kick Ass, Kick Ass", the Marist Circle K squad was able to find its way back to the court. "The score was 28-19 at the beginning of the second half, Marist was

down by 9. Referees Rich Pulice and Reverend Jennings had tolerated much from the Marist Club during the first half. Yet little did they know that foul play was standard for the Circle K'ers. The techniques of fouling were well learned by this team, and in the second half executed eloquently. Few knew the difference between a zone or man-to-man defense, the legalities of basketball were of no importance to this ball club.

The big men for Marist Circle K, Seketa, Zoda, Nielson, and Kohrumel struggled bitterly during the second half. And with John (Z-Man) Zoda's superb stuffing and tackling it appeared momentarily that the Poughkeepsie Club had seen enough. Yet strange as it may seem, the Marist Circle K'ers were charged with several fouls during the second half, and severely scolded for their visious attacks of brutality.

In the closing minutes Coach Chet Kubin (You Know! Chip Rushin) found himself on court for the first time in the entire game. Chester waddled vigorously up and down the court with his hands stretched above his head shouting in utter distress; "What should I do, what should I do!!! Thereupon; the five foot, five inch, 198 pound Kubin was directed to play center. With Chester's momentum the opposition was held from scoring for an entire 15 seconds.

The final score was 56-35. The Marist Circle K'ers had for the first time intheir career experienced the agony of defeat. High scorer for Marist was Ray Nielson with 9. J. Fred Eberlein and Chuck Becker were second each with 6. Mike O'Toole had 4. Tom Harrison, Ed Valverdi; Ray Barger, Billy Sears, and Don Wilson were also in the scoring column. ; .

The Circle K gives special thanks to score keeper Don Deerkoski and time keeper Bill Huldie; and to the superstar of the Circle K Club extraordinaire John Sherlock.

division with a jump of 6.01 meters. Murphy scored 648 points in this event and lead all com­petitors with a 1301 total after two events. He was 80 points ahead of Lineweaver. Buso was not in the top eight scorers and had less than 1117 points.

Murphy's downfall, and Buso's strength, in this competition was the third event, the shot put. Buso beat all competitors with a toss of 11.79 meters, or 38'8". Murphy, who had tossed the shot 37'4" the day before at Queens, even though he had only worked on the event for two weeks, threw the put 9.97 meters, or only 32'8»/2". Murphy only scored 458 points in this event and fell to second place with a total of 1759, 22 points behind Byron's 1781 total. Buso was now in fifth place with 1690 and had his strongest event, the high jump coming up next.

Although the high jump is Tim Murphy's strongest since he has leaped 6'6" once and 6'5" twice and jumped 6'4" or better in his last four meets for Marist, Steve Buso had leaped 6'10" and won the , NCAA College Division Championships last May with a jump of 6 '9V. Buso won this event with a jump of 2 meters, or 6'6'/2". This scored 857 points for Buso for a competition-leading total of 2547. Both Murphy and Byron jumped 1.88 meters, or 6'2" for 751 points. Byron was now in second place with 2532 points and Murphy had 2510 points, just 37 behind the leader

Pinocchio At Marist

. Buso going into the final event, the 1500 meter run or metric mile. s

Murphy did surprisingly well in the 1500 meter run but missed beating Buso in the overall competition. Murphy won the metric mile in 4:45.8 with Buso clocking a 4:51.1. Murphy scored 490 points to Buso!s 458. Murphy admitted later that he could have run the 1500 meters a little faster jhe imagined, and said that he ididn't feel tired from the day's competition.

j The five-point margin of vic-jtory for Buso over Murphy was closer than imaginable. Murphy could have beaten Buso had he done any one of the following things: (1) ran the 200 meters. .1 second faster (2) ran the 1500 meters .4 second faster (3) long jumped :!/4 inch farther (4) thrown the shot 3 inches farther or (5) high jumped W higher. It was truly an amzingly close competition, and both athletes fared well.

r Or j Murphy, a sophomore, it marked his first Pentathlon experience and Coach Rich Stevens was extremely pleased at Murphy's performance.

Coach Stevens had this to say, "I think Tim can be very pleased with his performance. He has only been trained in the shot put for two weeks, and unfortunately, this was his downfall. He threw much better Saturday; but when you're just learning, you are usually quite inconsistent. I think the fact that the metric distances were used was a little confusing to him and he didn't realize that he was only throwing 32 feet. He usually performs well under pressure and I think had he known it was 32 feet he would have gotten off a farther throw.

"It's kind of funny that he was beaten by Buso who I coached in high school. Tim has always had tough luck competing against Buso in the past, and' here it continued. Both did well, but it is

. important to note that Buso is a junior and has competed in many pentathlons and decathlons, whereas this was Tim's first. Tim

' is a natural-born track and field athlete and once he learns and trains in the hurdles, pole vault, discus, and javelin, he will be an excellent decathlon man. There is no question that he is a one-man track team in that he can do many events well and is willing to try them.

"In one regular season meet last spring, we used Tim in five events and a relay. He proceeded to get five firsts and lead our one mile relay to a first-place finish. His times and distances were good in that meet: 20'7'/4" in the long jump, 6'5" in the high jump to tie his record then, 41'3" in the triple jump, 10'8 in the 100 yard dash, a 23.2 in the 220 yard dash to set the Marist record, and a 54.5 clocking in his leg of the mile relay. Not bad for a day's work and 26'/4 points for our team! The great thing is that he is always willing to help out and do all these events, he told me after this competition that he liked the mile and thinks he could do well in it. I doubt if we would ever use him this year in the mile with such strong distance runners as we have, but if we run into trouble it's always a possibility. I can seriously see us using him in ten events in some meets this spring since he can help us in the sprints, long, triple and high jumps, either relay, and the hurdles. We will explore the other team's weaknesses, and use Tim in those spots. Don't forget if we can get him back up to that 37' mark in the shot, he can score for us there also!

"We are proud of his per­formance in the State Cham­pionships and the recognition he has given our track team and school," Coach Stevens con­cluded.

Murphy won a plaque for his second-place finish.

WRESTLERS WIN THE CIRCLE MARCH 1,1973

Last Saturday saw the Marist matmen compete in the 18th District Championships of the N.A.I.A.'S. Other schools com­peting in the meet were Newark College of Engineering, Kings College, Southhampton, and Monmouth. The first wrestler for Marist was the "little man," Lance Lipscomb. Being one of three wrestlers in his weight class, Lance lost his first match but succeeded in taking third place by forfeit. Mike Asip also took third place with a decision loss in his first match and a win in his second. Bob Farrel pinned a first, place spot in his class by winning his two matches. In the 177 pound class,-Jim Lavery, who had a broken nose, was one of two in his class. "Apples"-decisioned his man to a 10-1 defeat and won first place. First honors also went to John Redmond, who despite his serious rib injury, pinned his two opponents. The last wrestler lor Marist was Rich Beany who was pinned by a matman from. Southhampton in his first match but came back to win his second bout against a wrestler from Monmouth. This gave him' the third place spot in his class. Overall in the tournament Marist placed third behind King's with 55 points and N.C.E. with 73% points. The Marist team had lost many points by just not having wrestlers in various weight classes. Both King's and N.C.E. had full squads.

The varsity grapplers ended their season in fine style with their second win. They defeated Yeshiva College 28-24. This was a very big match for the win-starved team. It was the end to the.frustration, hard work and sheer determination and courage of the men who stuck it out for the season. This was also the culmination of four years of total dedication of three admirable athletes: Lance Lipscomb, "Jim Lavery and John Redmond. These four-year veterans were the nucleus of the wrestling.team for the last three years and without them it is questionable

By Jim Donnelly whether Marist would have a wrestling team.

.. There was an electricity in the air when Lance stepped on the mat. The crowd could feel there was something more to this match than beating Yeshiva. Lance showed his four years of work pinning his man in the

• second period. Once again Marist was hurt by forfeits in the 126 and 134 pound class. Next sophomore Mike Asip won a well earned decision (11-1). In the 150 lb. class supersoph Bobby Farrell pinned his man in the third period after leading on points 22-5 (his final overall record was ll-l-l). In the 158 class determined but unex­perienced Skipper J . Lacy literally tossed his man around until a tough reversal cast him, as he lost in a pin. The next match

Foxes Top Southampton Momentum is what the Marist

College Red Foxes have going for had some strong emotions behind I them presently as the long, it. Frank Feeney winless for the ' frustrating season is about to year was determined to avenge this and vent out the frustrations of a first year wrestler. He decisioned his man quite handily.

At 177 was Jim Lavery the charisma of Marist College wresting. ("Apples" the folk hero who is reported to have pressed the whole universal weight machine ten times.) His fantastic career ended with ah easy decision (9-3). His record this year was an excellent (10-2).

In 190 the surprise rookie of the year, Rich Beaney met a heart­breaking end. Rich was pinned in a tough battle but showed that he will be a star of the future. In the final match John Redmond in a new role as heavyweight showed the mastery he has learned in four years by pinning his man in thirty seconds. John is a superb blend of strength and nerves and personifies a hard working, talented wrestler. His record ended at: n-2. Anyone who has enjoyed a wrestling match at Marist in the last three years owes a thank you to this great person and total athlete. Congratulations to him and all the wrestlers of Marist College, for their fine work.

close. The Red Foxes travelled to New Haven two weeks ago and gave Coach Ron Petro his 100th win as head coach of the Red Foxes. The game was marked with a series of physical flareups between the two teams, but despite the hostile crowd and physical confrontations, Marist emerged as the victor, handing the chargers a 83-78 loss. The leading scorers were Mike Hart with 31 points, fifteen rebounds^ and Stan McLauglin with 23 pts. for the losers. With high hopes and'enthusiasm the Red Foxes then travelled to Siena and met a stiff and strong starting five who set back the Red Foxes with a 87-56 loss. Siena was led by Rod Brooks who had 22 pts. and Marist was led by Bill "Clyde" Ross, the kid from Mineola, who came off the bench and con­tributed 13 pts. with his fine outside shooting and dipping layups. The Red Foxes then met the Parsons from Nyack last Tuesday and handed the Parsons a rude loss; 81-74 in favor of

Trackmen Drop Tri-Meet To Queens And Iona

Although Marist's indoor track team lost to Queens College and Iona College in a triangular in­door track meet at Fitzgerald Gynmasium in Queens on Saturday, the team made its strongest indoor showing ever in the short four-year span of indoor

speed _x>n the last lap to garner fourth*with a 10:26 clocking, just 1.4 seconds off Cappio's Marist record there.

Marist could finally boast of the sprints as Tom Murphy and Dan Faison both broke the old Marist sprint record in the trials as they

track at Marist. The final score of -. sped to 6.7 timings to qualify for. the meet was Queens 65%, Iona 22, and Marist 16%. Marist was ahead of Iona all through the competition until the final two events, the two and one mile relays, which Iona placed second to sew up their win over Marist. Marist would have won if "a double-dual scoring was used. Queens Assistant Coach Ken Bantum was highly impressed with the remarkable progress which was made by the Marist team and remarked that Marist was "in" every event and made strong showings in the high jump, 60 yard dash, and mile.

It was in two of these events and the 1000 yard run where the Red Foxes set new school records. Mark Hetorilla, voted the outstanding trackman of the meet for Marist, set a new school record in the mile eclipsing Phil Cappio's four-year standing record by 8.6 seconds as he clocked a 4:37.2 time for fourth place. He later came back to just miss third place in thejwo mile on a tremendous burst of sprint

the finals. Then in the finals in an extremely close race, Faison broke his short-standing record with a 6.6 second time for fourth place while Murphy got fifth in 6.65.

Tim Murphy, being rested as much as possible for his indoor pentathlon showing the following day, made his best throw in the shot put at 37''/i" to surprisingly place third in the competition. Tim has only been working on the shot for the last two weeks and has progressed from 33' on his first throw to his good throw Saturday. Tim won the high jump at 6'4" and led Marist to a one, two and tied for third finish again as Bill Sprague made a clutch jump at 6' for second and John Carberry had to settle for a tie for third at 5'10" as he and a Queens competitor had the same jumps.

Jim Weber, back, in good form after missing the" entire cross country season with a severe ankle injury, set the Marist 1000'. yard mark in a good run for fourth place with a time of 2:26.3..

He broke Greg Howe's mark of 2:27.5 set in 1970. Weber ran the best leg of the Marist mile relay also.

John Carberry placed fourth in the 60 yard high hurdles with a 9.0 second clocking, just one tenth off the Marist record.

Marist led by half a point going into the two relays over the Iona team, 'put because of lack of depth, all the Red Foxes could hope for was a split of the relays with Iona and tried to stack up their best-possible mile relay team. However, Iona won easily as all the Marist runners had already run in the meet at least once before and Iona's runners were fresh.

It was the closest Marist had come to beating any indoor op­ponent and Queens is one of the strongest in the CTC and Iona also sports a usually tough team. The Red Foxes next compete in the Collegiate Trace Conference indoor championships at Queens College on Saturday, March 10 to complete the indoor season.

rebounds which combined for a happy win in Nyack.

Then last Thursday, the Red Foxes came home and met the "hawks" of New Paltz (S.U.N.Y.). The game was highlighted by some fine outside shooting by both teams, but Marist was definitely the better team, and trounced the "Hawks" off the court by beating them, 115-92." Marist .was sparked by "Country" Mike Hart's 33 pts., Jimmy Martell's 16 pts. and raised their record to 11-10 for the year. But the win was over­shadowed by Saturday's "big" win over Southampton, who had beat the Red Foxes,earlier in the year. The Red Foxes starting five displayed their fine fast break and combined board strength as they overcame Southhampton by the score of 79-74. This win assured Marist to, a post season bid and a chance to win the District 31 championship. Mike Hart again led Marist with his accurate left handed shot and wound..up with 25 pts and 15 rebounds; Glen Berry led Southhampton with 21 pts. On Tuesday the. Red Foxes hosted Yeshiva University and sent them back to New York City with a 107-68 loss. Marist again jelled together and played excellent basketball, being led by Jim Martell's 24 pts., Mike Hart's 20 pts. and Billy Ross's sizzling 16 pts. This win upped their record to 13-10.

Thepost-seasonbid will be held at Dowling College who is seeded No. l and holds a 20-7 record. Plattsburg is seeded No. 2 with an 11-8 record with two more games to go. Marist is then seeded No. 3, with either Monmouth 12-13 or Newark Rutgers (11-10) oc­cupying the last spot. Marist has a good chance to take the tour­nament and hopefully disprove preseason skepticism that the Red Foxes were a weak team.

ed. note - Mike Hart is currently leading the conference with a 21.2 per game average.

J.V. TAKES 3 STRAIGHT The junior Red Foxes kept

their excellent season going with 3 straight wins in the last,week. The three wins brought then-record to a solid (14-6) mark.

The streak started with a 83-45 breeze over Nyack. Starting the first half with a full'court press, Marist built a big lead which they never lost. Leading scorers were center Ray Murphy and guard Bucky Kulinski, each scoring 19 pts. Rich Schanz also added 14 pts. to the cause. The boards were also controlled by Marist 61-33 with Ray Murphy leading the frontcourt with 15.

The second J.V. victim was New Paltz in a tough game at Lourdes last Thursday night. The Hawks of New Paltz were within five points with seven minutes to go, but the strength of the Red Foxes proved to be too much. Marist controlled the boards 65-40, which won them the game 88-79. The leading rebounder was Ray Murphy with 15. Ron Glackin and Jim Dirscherl added Hand 10 pts. respectively.. Murphy also led the scores hitting for 19, while Bucky Kulinski added 16.

The third and. final win was an overwhelming triumph over Vassar, iii-66. They smothered Vassar in every department. The leading scorers were Bucky Kulinski with 24 pts., and Joe Nebbia with 19. Ray Murphy chipped in 15 pts. along with 16 rebounds.
