Work-Study Program Seeks Student Help In fAppalachia

A veteran of "two summers of . Hspcialjvork among the people,of - the Appalachian section of Eas t - ' ""ern Kentucky, .s trying to in­

terest members of the^ student body- in .helping -with this work" during-their vacations. Brendan Mooneyy Class of '71 is one of' the core-members of this work- -study program/Tun by Father Ralph Beiting and known as the Christian Appalachian Project.

^ The purpose of the project is to . bring new ideas to an area that is

economically, culturally and so-." cially backward." "The average per capita income of this area is $550 yearly. Modern agricultural ideas, such as dairy farming and the'Xise of greenhouses are un­heard of. The methods of farming are archaic and disease, which were believed to have been ex­tinct in the U.' S. 50 years ago, are still common in this area.. Improvements, such as concer-sion to dairy farming, have run over $160,000 in investment in an area the size of Rhode Island. A greenhouse will produce ten times, the amount of an acre of land, but money is scarce and

"learning is slow.

— Volunteers.in this program will" work in the Covington Diocese in

~an area covering Jour counties. This is Fr . Belting's parish which includes "four Jchurches. The cost for 'maintenance of a two week volunteer is transportation -plus z ten dollars -weekly.-' A full-time summer worker will be paid apr-, proxiamtelytwo dollars an hour;

-There'will be, a_ meeting 'for-, those students interested in this program on-October 31st-from 8-9:30 - PM' in" th'e theater. - At "• this time there will b e ^ guest -speaker to explain the program in detail" with the aid of color sjides. " _

When asked to express his personal views on the project, Brendan Mooney said,"The im­portant thing to remember is that Appalachia cannot help itself ~ itjieeds the aid of outsiders both to develope what potential it has and to help dispel some of the prejudices of the people with r e ­gard to organized religions in general and towards Catholics in particular." -

Declaration Of 7 Independence?

"~ 'Can you stilT recognize me among so many hoardes waving so many arms calling down the wrath of some supreme being upon each other? Is it possible to remember me now, when for you the world has become so monstrous and life so brittle? If you can recall my name among the thousands of uncertain words they scream at you like "duty"«'Eneiny'y«eliminate*\please forgive me for writing today. You see I've /chosen the worst of days to write, today is July 4th. I am sorry this particular date had the arrogance to fall on my writing day, but many things seem to fall on the wrong days lately for the wrong persons. I guess I should be very im­pressive and quote something appropriate ,like "the,time is oulof joint", they've always seemed to please you, but I've somehow lost the heart for that. .' \

Oh, why is the fourth such a wrong day?- I'm unsure, but I^think' is has something to do with you. July 4th is a day very sacred to some people because it is supposed to be the day when'God will most certainly hear American prayers for the way we want peace or war or - whatever we want. And ior~ other people it is a scriligious celebration, the supreme ritual which turns iconoclast because America is the anointed archetype of all villainy. Remember what" you said about fighting the one grand abstract war, oppression vs. liberation, Lucifer vs. Michael, and how you could riot be proud to join the myth, especially when your country has to play both roles.

- You -were even so disloyalto say the war was not proud, you said it was humiliating. No, I am not betraying my country to you or any­one, I know patriotism. It was one of our former presidents who, when asked if God were on our side in'1 the war, said he always thought it was" more important if he were on God's side. But he was very odd, Mr. Lincoln. | > I \

FARAWAY IN ASIA..

It is strange, my friend, but-it will be hard forme to send you this letter as' it is to write it. But let me talk about that later, I can't write off what you are doing somewhere in Asia/ it does

" not convince me1 that you are\ the personification of righteousness, you or any of us. Yet here' I stand watching the hands clapping, flag waving crowds shouting'about the cause and across the street some people demonstate with flames, their hands look like other

. hands,, and. thejflag, is the same but they are.chanting-think of it-singing about infanticide. / Cause,' murder; and .whai.'.are my thoughts? Is it so. laughable 'that .1 am' 'Junking only of a friend?

' We • have soiled - this day each -in our own style; but perhaps I write because I think we might be able to celebrate this 4th, in our way, without being too sure what it means. Without demanding its submission to our approval. That too, is a celebration, don't you think,."" serving the uncertainty of youth. ' . < i

I - - : COOL WINTERS ???/ Your last letter, the one about how cool the winters really are

in Viet Nam wasn't convincing.' The paper wes shrivelled where your hand sweated hi blotches -on the letter, perhaps while you -pondered too long over the*hext- word. -I'm gland you d d though, they-were words worthy-of-your-serenity of, mind. I always said • you should have been another Mahatmayoa idiot, instead of a soldier. Nerve mind, I forgive you. But would you.please omit that p.s.-wish-you-were-here footnote in each letter v Some humor! I canft blame^ you; a man has to smile occasionally even in Asian winters.

They say-you're a lunatic, you know. That's myfault again. They wanted to know why you were fighting in some rice field if you don't believe in it-all. First, I said in my most serious voice, "In a rice field!". £>h, they don't fight in that much, they only sleep there! Then' -I felt very sich about the ridicule, and told them what a real person you are and what your typical faraway words < tried to tell me, in ,< hoping my dried blood would flow again. So I told, them that you; felt you were guilty, thatyour' hand somehow cut a wound, even if; a very small one, into someone else, perhaps "without knowing it. ! And to hell with ideologists you said. Hate caused this war, every war 1 and if at anytime any where we-have ever hated even for a moment, then* we too have bur share in the war. And you weren't proud of that. You said,' (oh, you are an ass) that you had to fight because this was your, war; "fault" was the word you used, and that you felt you must'accept your, part of the pain. How they shook their heads in disgust when you admitted you hoped somehow tosacrifice. a little more than to inflict So, you see what a"wonderful cor-. respondent I am. In one interview I ruined your reputation. I don't feel ashamed of that; you.alwaysprtded yourself .on not being curdened by^reputation. I-suppose you should thank me then. Yes, look what your "disreputable" creeds brought you, an Asian winter, whatever mat' means. I should disown you for good. But why can't I, it -doesn't make sense, but. I really wouldn't, fool that your are.

[ -a ' * ( ^ '

A CHANGE OF ADDRESS "i -

Yes, I find it very difficult for the first time to send you a letter. Impossible. The other day I received notice that you - how do they say it - "suffered a change of address" - "deceased in service" or something. Letters are no longer in use you know, for us. I guess they would call this piece of writing posthumously received - isn't that the word? Has my friend suffered enough, his share? f have even been writing in the wrong tense>v I think it would have been proper to use the past definite. But you won't ever reprove me for that. Everything seems too definite and past, but perhaps somehow their is a kind of triumph in this. I thought you would have wanted to celebrate this your triumph, so forgive me, and even if you would, recognize me.

., Peace In A -" - - >

Revolutionary War by Au Trong Thanh (CPS)

Editor's Note: Au Trong Thanh, former finance and e-conomic minister of.South Viet Nam, was kept from running for president in the South Vienamese elections because he planned to campaign on a peace platform. He has received several,invi­tations to speak :n/ the/ United States, but at present-the Sai-_ gbn Goverijment has refused to let him go. This article, writ­ten shortly before the Vietnam­ese election, explains how he be­lieves peace can be brought to Viet Nam. It was given exclu­sively to Collegiate Press Ser­vice by Tran_Van Dim, Viet-namse journalist and -CPS columnist. \

\* v Vietnam is the typical example i of a revolutionary, war. The long , duration of'this war has enabled • us to see the successive steps of - an evolution through the different phases of a development which had been conditioned by internal and external circumstances.

Up. until now, all efforts made to end or escalate the war have proven ineffective. Violence, which is normal in a convention­al war, has been used in vain, Pathetic appeals to stir up hu­manitarian feelings have been launched also in vain. Offers of assistance with the lure of ma-" terial advantages also were not responded to as expected. All rthese attempts not only fail but .also spread a climate of mis­trust, of discouragement, and of,

-importance in therfaceof the , ..daily intensification of .the war.'

- PEACE 'DIFFiCULTY ''" Why so? Because of the lack of time for an analysis of the

.facts with due consideration to the genuine opinions of the ma­terials of the country in which the war is being-waged. It is now the right time to fill this gap and to find in a rational way an approach' to the notion of peace within the- context "of a.revolu­tionary war, , " ~ -

REVOLUTIONARY WAR • Generally speaking, it takes

some time to start a revolution--ary war. because the simple and primitive. • can be politically

' transformed only under particu- ' .lar circumstances and with time.. In practice, the "circumstances most conducive to a rapid and violent explosion of.a revolu­tionary- war, can be found in .the ' negative attitudes of the colonial . power which refuses to grantgen-uine independence to the coloniz­ed people, a fact that crystallizes all the will of liberation of the people.

In" the- case of Vietnam,, the mechanism has been launched by the.armed struggle to regain ' national independence. Once the -mechanism has been launched, the process of development-of" the liberation, war went on 'a

* self-feeding system, because a war- waged on a larger scale strengthens the factors found at the start of a revolutionary war.

In effect, an ideological war with foreign intervention thatfol-lowi the war for independence does worsen the thirst for na­tional sovereignty.

EFFECTS OF THE WAR - Also the war, in alienating the

city folks from the farmers caus­es more social injustice, creat­ing at the same time among city folks a widening gap between war profiteers and war suffer­ers and thus aggravates a dan­gerous social imbalance.

Hey,VLodk \Me- O ver

\. Hallowed by thy halls, MOTH, for ever and ever, amen. You are the epitome of progressive education in the oil-infested valley of the Hudson." Breathlessly do your monuments of stone and thought climb, .

- even to the pinnacles of your punch-card, Adrian.

We've got to admit it: • if you want it, the U has it. We've got FDR on an annual basis, of course; classical musak(if the meter's" runnin'); Laurel and Hardyin January and May; psychedelic Kheingold; rent-a--cops; and a provocative faculty.- We've got a Hound Table, with King Arthur at the helm, which can't be equaled; credit must be dropped upon the infallible domes of nine (or ten, or how many there are in our bureaucratic daimgogy) guys who get together and decide how to mete-out the 24,030 under their thumbs.

. .Let's see ... the Football Club gets 1,500; tha Varsity Club — 1,100 (they've got a feast comin' up in May); otiier minor players, a thou

. here or there; and the cultural committee - a buck or two, 'cause they put on the lectures and jazz since the U's departments don't have the dough, or time, or interest, or whatever. All in all, we've got a right to be so,damned smug,-»cause we run the show ...right?

- We do such a fantastic jSbthat nothing but MOTH could be the ful­crum of our world. But take a look around puffkipsee once in-a while. Last week, two members of, our glorious-staff trucked on over to-' Dutchess Community to'report- on a-.speech by Barry AuHOH (thanks ' to Dr. James Hall; the Pres of that,stepping stone to a*b.a.). -Barry. was"up/;on the'-fhill--because of some-sort of-lyceum^eries.put-Tmby-our lowsr brethern'-- just like Wayns Morse will he before too long,

' and Pierre Salinger, for you jackie buffs. . --" "-• !, ' --•"'*

Anyhow, Dr. Hall let us have a look at'that two-year place mat-most' of us fail to recognize as existing. And get ready,all you bookworms, DCC has a thing or two to offer (if you're turned on by cultrel stuff). -.

Okay, okay - they've got a good thing going with culture, but we're' still bigger than-they are. Theyfre so hick that the DCC Student Association' (we .call it a S. G„) controls a 91,000 dollar income^ -We've got WMCS '- what do -they have - channel 8, Dutchess TV.' Granted ' that* somebody other than DCC students paid ibr and _nstalled the viedo equipment, and WMCS got off the ground. only because of MOTH men "support, but the fact remains that the super high school on the "other side" of this town of traffic tickets has got it groov'ey.

' -*' - •" -, ' . 'v. ' .* - " MOTH is a fine place; you won't find-many better! Just don't"'

think that,the Uis the "only" place, because (excuse me,'if you will) -yes, Virginia, there is a Dutchess.

COUNCIL BUDGETS

And The Beat Goes On Byr James T. Morrison

Answer,The Danger Of Cigarettes?

Juanimara ? The Council went through a-

noiher horror, show budget meet-ingr.where once again itwaspro-

- ~ven that, in order to cater to the interests of the many clubs and organizations on this campus, we need more money.

We operate on sort of a social­istic plan (with due deference to YAF),. where out of the §30

. activity fee, we get $20, and the other ten goes to help pay off the' Student Center. With these funds we are expected to run or sponsor

' -The main cause of trouble was the request of.'theWeightlifting Club" for. $1,062. - The^ largest single bite out of this sum, about $500, was to be'used-to finance their entrance, into a weightlift-irig league. In this league, they would be competing'against such schools as Mt. St. Mary's in Maryland,-Princeton, and maybe even Yale and Harvard. However, now they have a'problem—they didn't get the money.

, In a monument to parliamen-

By Bob Jakob

most clubs and organizations on - ,-tary confusion, the amount that campus, directly or indirectly they requested for the team to providingthe funds for about 85% compete in this league was chop-of all cultural activities, 90% of —Ped out. The reasons were many: all social events, and about 30% of all athletic activities on camp­us. "All on approx.-$24-25,000. Sounds a little impossible doesn't it? It is.

Marist has grown since I came -here-in 1964; grown in size, in reputation, in academic stand­ards, -in tuition and "room and board, in'everythingbucthe activ­ity fee. Oh' sure, there was one raise, buc that all went to pay off the debt on the'Student Center. Nothing-has been added to the amount,that the Studeni Govern­ment gets to provide for student activities.

.With, the rapid growth of the college in the past'few years,

.there _cam= a,much wider diver­sification- of' student interests, -and in order to provide for the -

.. development-^ .theseinterests, .,„ ' both for ttieibehefit of thevindivi- -

duals concerned /avid' the college community as^ a-whole, we have..

-'been forced to become judges of aesthetic value. "When we prune -a budget, which-lately has-been

-happening quite often, nine, times out of Itenjit's not because the club

- wasn't going ;to spend its money wisely,- but because, even though the planned programs were ex­cellent,'we didn't have enough money to support them.

- There are a few ways in which this situation could-be bettered; First, since many clubs are ori­ented toward a particular major field, how aboatthe departments, themselves giving more of a hand in the activities of these clubs? Too many faculty members, ha *e -

' contributed nothing but moaning "over the fact that there' aren't

"enough activities in their field on -- this campus and left it at" that (and' to those faculty members who have .sperrc many hours of their-time working on activities arid, with , student organizations, we only wishyom* example could be imitated). How about includ--ing some club activities in your ' budgets, thus at .least trying to

, take all the pressure off the Stu-' dent Government, and trying to

help the clubs toward-the full realization of their-purpose. It's worth a try.

Of course, the easiest way to remedy this situation would be

- to raise the activity fee. We often wonder- when college of- ' ficials are going to,become cog-

- nizant of the fact that too many student activities are being stif­led, too many ambitious, worth­while plans are biting the dust simply.because we can't %afford it. We wonder when they are going to ^realize that we would like J o give every student at Marist the full benefit; of his activity fee. Wv wonder why, since- their expenses have gone up ( the tuition and, room and ' board raises), they don't realize that ours have too.

And the horror show goes on ' and on.

they, asked for the whole sum, without giving any'indication that they would raise part o<" the mon­ey themselves; some members of the Council felt that were sub­sidizing too many athletic clubs; there was .speculation that weightlifting might become a var­sity sport j "and so on. The real underlying issue was that, again, we don't have enough money.

It's getting so . that we are forcing more and more organiza­tions with worthwhile purposes to appeal for money from the. student body to carry out. their , program;; to appeal to a student body "mat's beginning to get a .little sick of being hit for money for one cause or another almost every night of the week.

But just askyourself oneques-. tion:,JWho is really'holding these "clubs*back;"the" Student Govern- " ment or thatdam ied activity fee?

, Think about it.

Cannabis sativa: a plant at­taining the height of six to ten feet. Its leaves occur in palm-shaped clusters of from five to 'seven leaves; these groups are arranged oppositely along the stem. Both sides of the leaves themselves are serrated. The flowers are small, almost incon­spicuous, and of a greenish-yellow color. This plant grows almost everywhere and can be cultivated in the home garden w'th little, if any, care. In the late fall it seeds; these can be collected and used for planting early in ihe spring.

This plant has been the objrct of various scientific investigat­ions recently. It is felt by some authorities that this herb may, for various reasons, soon replace that which is currently employed by the cig-irette industry.

One of the most important facts about this plant is that the stem, when soaked in water, peels apart- in strands. These strands can then be spun into a form of rope. This not only in­creases the economic value of the. plant, but also does -iivjy with "the qtnek burning stems which are often encountered in smoking tobacco. It is-felt by some members of the medical profession that this is a prime cause of skin cancer'in cigar­ette smokers. It is also felt that the super-heated inhalant caused by the fast burning stems con­tributes to the occurance of can­cer in tobacco users.

' Cannabis may also be made "into a dried cake which may be chewed; likewise, the rope, made from the stem of the plant, may be masticated. This, and also the smoking of the herb ?n a cigarette/ produces a mild euphoric condition which may be likened to the effects of alcohol. An -.important aspect of the euphoria produced is that it does not produce after-effects as alco­hol does; it does not effect the body in the adverse manner as alcohol. j

There has not been any art­icle published by the medical professionjinking the smoking of the prod acts of this plant to any form - of cancer; Testing has5* been going on for the past few years in two major areas of the counary: New York City and San Francisco. It is notable that, in view of the controversy, over cigarette smoking, toDacco alone has been cited as the prime cause of various diseases; Cannabis has never been implicated in any health controversy.

A committee set up in New York City by the late Mayor La^ Guardia published the con;lus-^ ions that there was no evidence indicated a habit-forming r e ­action as there seems to be in cigarette smoking, neither was there' any evidence that after­effects, such as those occuring with alcohol, take place.

Ban The Boom By Richard Stuadt \

In the past several months a-" lone, a large-number of indivi­duals have been lulled or hurt by the uncontrolled use of a sel­

dom noted weapon. It has come to the point at .which law abiding citizens no longer need thess weapons of evil and destruction and ws must stop their influx.

Few people realize that the. sale of this evil weapon, the boomerang, has increased by over 10,000% in the past 93 years. A -great cause for this boomrang boom :s the ease of which they can be acquired through the mail order houses, as well as tha glorification of the horrible uses of boomerangs as shown on tele­vision. Must we live in a society

• in which any six year old drug addict, mental-- incompetent or sex fiend can purchase a boom-rang! Must we feel the insecurity of-knowing that our best friend may be a boomrang-toting evil doer!

The ownership of boomerangs must stop', no mstter what- the

' reason. Legislation must be passed oefore these boomerang

"crimes destroy the nation. Let's face it, we must pass stringent legislation preventing theowner-

• ship of boomerangs by- anyone but police (who will notbe able to use them sxcept, of course, to repel a nuclear attack.) We must partem .our- legislation after the great Sullivan law of New York State which has effectively stopp­ed all crimes .with concealed weapons in that state. It's up to-you, my fellow citizens, be­fore it's too late. Remember, it's

-not people who kill people, it's those damnboomerangs that kill people.

There are groups In our

kind jfere interviewed and the . consensus of opinion was that although there can, at times, be a psychological dependency of the herb, the benefits by far outweigh the few drawbacks of the plant.

It,may be worth while for the cigarette industry to look into the use of this plant. They may thereby avoid the condemning mtdical profession through the use of this herb. Of course there has been some adversity to the use of it, it is only natural that there should be. Yet; the major­ity of users have seen no ill effects, there has been no im­plication of it in disease, and, in fact, there have been benefits seen by some in its use. .

Cannabis grows almost any­where, therefore the use of it will result in the decreasing of the cost- of cigarettes. It can be/used to spin a form of rope, which increases its worth and again1" lowers the cost of cigar­ettes. Finally, once made into a plug, it can ba chewed.by non-smokers, this gives the national economy a | boost by returning non-smokers' dollars to emulat­ion. This chewing also con­tributes positively to the for­mation of healthy teeth.

\ l t may be well for the cigar­ette industry to took into .this ad vancementjinto healthful, smok­ing msde after years of patient study- by mmity.

ON THE OTHER HAND:

society that would obstruct pas­sage of- such legislation. Such a. group is the NBA (National Boomerang "Association.) The members of this group feel that

•laws passed to control the use of-boomerangs by criminals is non­sense. We~all know that crim­inals don't pay attention to laws, so we muitpass legislation to ban .boomerangs completely.

The NBA also feels that the Bill of Rights supports their feel­ings. This bill was written 189 years ago, now no longer in step with modern times.

It's up to you, no boomerangs, no crimes, no anarchy, no evil.

Unilateral Control By Patrick W. Casey

There is a time honored tradi­tion -at Marist College that no matter how voual a minority might'become, there is no rea­son to expect any noticable change in the precious status quo. This is really-quite a shame.because (believe ut or-not) Marist does indeed have a great deal of signi­ficant potential. However, if we are to realize this potential, we must be sure pf the bestpossibie leadership to insure the most ef­fectual implementation of what we deem desirable. So, it.might not be such a bad idea tore-evaluate what we expect from our Ad-r-m inistr ation; particularly the of-fice of the Dean of Men.

For some obscure reason, the precise duties of the Dean of Men are not.delineated in the college catalogue. Nevertheless, it isn't too, difficult to imagine where his authority lies if one considers that we have a Director of Ad­missions, a Dean of Residence, an Academic Dean, and a Director of Counseling. Wliy then, do we find the Dean of Men almost daily assuming the responsibility of one or more of these offices? Wliy has the office of the Dean of"

^Mon suddenly'become the forer most obstacle :in 'the path of Msrist's maturation?

If it isn't obvious enough to one and all that the Dean of Men is continually overstepping his l i ­mits of authority, let us take a quick look at some of his more blatant attempts at self-asser­tion. As was mentioned last week,, when and where did he assume the role of judge in mat­ters of off-campus housing? Who gave him the power to refuse an academically accepted transfer student admittance on the grounds

4

that there were nodormitory ac­comodations? Does this make _.. sense In view of the fact that the student had lived off-campus for the preceedingtwoyears,andnow ^ stands a very good chance of being drafted?

Since when is it a duty^of the Dean of Men jto interfere with social -events";'jto such a degree that the consumption of alcoholic beverages is strictly under his aegis? Why must we be subject­ed co his annual sporadic (and singularly unsuccessful) at­tempts to disrupt hazing? How does he decide that he has the right to' interfere with whatever guests of students he doesn't hap­pen to like? _

/ By what right does the Dean of Men make outrageously naive statements to the local press, „. conduct inquiries,and foster in­tramural spying about a subject on which he is woefully unin­formed? How does he ration­alize the armed Gestapo we see on campus in view of his pro­mise to the student body last semester?'.

, Unfortunately, any attempt on our part to put an end. to this flagrant mis-use of authority will probably be frustrated by the re­fusal of one of the other Deans to contradict an order that ex­tends into his own area of juris­diction. What is needed, though, is a concerted effort on the part of the student body to unseat the ex-^coach; not on the-basis ot

mere unpopularity, but because the small-minded conduct of his office threatens to inhabit inde­finitely the growth of Marist College.

The foremost and most radi­cal of these' new directions is the-assumption of a'program of job recruitment and-placement.' This committee, under the di­rection of club secretary Jim Zoeller, is working together with the Registrar's office in securing positions in the business world for Marist graduates. An EOA secretary, Bob Newman, is em­ployed by Mr. Mortensonto co­ordinate these activities.. The committee also plans to have^ speakers from various in- ,_"" dustriai, managerial and fiscal concerns visit the campus.'

The club also has a-program of Graduate School placement being developed by Club Treasur­

A committee under Dominic. Favata has begun to collect, sort, and distribute information on such business functions as mar­

Pianist Lectures For

Cultural Committee Through the efforts of Brother

Sweeney, co-chairman of the Cul­tural Committee, Marist College was host to Hanus A. Schimmer-ling, composer and pianist. Mr., Schimmerling lectured h\ the Fireplace lounge on September 27th. He informed the'members of the student body and other in­terested guests, .of the'fblk music traditions of southeastern Euro­pean countries. '

He initiated the lecture by out­lining the areas concerned - the Slavic nations. Mr. Schimmer­ling then proceeded to-demon­strate how folk music in south­eastern Europe was influenced by customs, language, govern­ments, and, in particular, geo­graphy." According to Mr. Schim­merling,' a folk song reflects the geographical location from which it originated. A song, although similar ' in theme,,.will differ in Its musical structure in ac­cordance with its physical sit­uation. ;

Mr. Schimmerling was able to-provide graphic examples of his theory by actually playing the' folk songs on the.-piano. Ac­companying' Mr. Schimmerling was Miss Jane.Pauker of King­ston, New^York. '.Miss Pauker, who /sang in five foreign langu­ages, has accompianied Mr. Schimmerling- on. various con­cert tours. • - "; ;

Originally Mr. Schimmerling is from Brno, Moravia (Czecho­slovakia). Now he1 resides in Woodstock, New York. He;grad'i-.ated from the University of Vienna, and later studied at the Conservatory in Prague.

Although not intended for the un- " initiated, there were a number of students' in attendance, presum­ably qualified enough to follow the lecture. .. -.

"Chromotography is a method used to seperate compounds by taking advantage of physical pro­perties such as polarity and molecular weight. Dr. Bobbi&, gave a demonstration using as

In Peace Lecture/.

•Sponsored By./TAC

On Tuesday'evening, October 3, Father Jude Mili 0 . F . M. spoke at the Marist Theater on «_'Why a Christian Should1 Soek Peace".

Father Jude, who is a pro­fessor of Moral Theology at Mount • Alvernia' Seminary in Wappingers Falls and ceaches at Mount St. Mary's College in Newburgh, was sponsored by TAC (Thought, Communication, Ac­tion).

According to Father Jude, man's purpose for existence is to - be joined together info one family with God as our common Father. Because war and .latred are foes to oar common brother­hood, a Christian must strive to eradicate apathetic acceptance of violence. Becuase we are mem-

bers of the Mystical Body, acts of war hurt us by precenting us from forming this community on earth.

Father Jude attended a Christ­ian Family Movement workshop at Notre Dame "University last summer where Mr. and Mrs. Dan Luci of Oakland} California suggested the formation of - a Peace Academy which would be government sponsored. Graduat­es would be expected to put in a certain amount oftimein theser-

vice of peace. Father Jude also-recommended that people in high government and diplomatic posi­tions come- from the -ranks of-

/ graduates of this Peace Academy rather than having broad mili?

, tary backgrounds.

In the quest for Peace, he ad­vocated accepang-any suffering in .the struggle to form this com­munity rather than resorting to violence In solving problems. Thus, the blood of martyrs would be the seed of this, community.

An interesting factor, although not stressed in the lecture, was the universal.message of the folk songs. The music expressed the thoughts of a love lost, a soldier-away from home, the glory of a nation,'etc. -- - - v- . ; ' -

Arlo Guthrie

Sings^ Satirizes

In Performance

v.

Addicts Seek Help

Arlo Guthrie, son of the-late folk singer - composer. Woody Guthrie; performed in the college theatre,, as ' part of a concert-mixer sponsored by the Commu­ters Student Union, on Friday October 6th. His guitar playing was a supurb rendition of the folk blues style. Guthrie's -voice wasn't the best, but his sense of humor was -rewarding. Arlo's songs were the fairly stereotyp-" ed protesting of-all right wing elements in the government.

Throughout the show Guthrie. successfully satirized President Johnson,' expressing doubts of his legitimacy -and tf"»reby r e ­ceiving-a round of appiuase. Very direct satire was aimed at the American police system hVallits" forms. Every-cop in the country-was pictured as an inhuman brute who loves to beat,up f hippies",' a recurrent theme in American folk tradition. The FBI was particularly singled out for ridi­cule using the same terminology that was used in reference tojhe President. ' "

Part of a medley was,dedicat­ed to this organization and was a guitar solo of "Midnight in Mos­

c o w " followed by the comment ."Peaceful coexistence begins at . home". - Guthries encore was a.

cowboy's lament (a cowboy try­ing to win back a lost sweetheart) with the pointed analogy of LB.T wooing back his voters for.the next-election.

- When asked torcomment on the-recent death of his father, Arlo

-would only say that if •«marks the end of an e r a ^ Guthrie's next feature concert will.be at Carnegie Hall on November 7th.

The plight of the drug addict, similar to that of the alcoholic, can be a lonely one. In the at­tempt to cure the loneliness, a feeling of community-is sought. On-this concept is the House of Synanon said to be founded. _ '.'

The house, run by the'Synanon s Foundation, is managed totally by addicts for addicts. Begun a

' little over five years ago by Charles Diedrich in California, Synanon has grown to seven hous­es. These are presently located ..

;in Detroit, Manhattan, Tanners -,ville, and four houses on the West Coast. The mem!;ers of this group reside in the house, with houses holding approximately thirty residents.

The center of .activity^at Sy­nanon Is the Game. Accordingto Dietrich, "The"Game isn't therr apy; 'it's fun. It's like playing tennis. You play for fun, not to .develop you? leg muscles. But while you're playing and enjoyr ing yourself, your leg muscles may strengthen as a side-effect." Also known as "attack therapy", the Game is intended to bring about a spirit of honesty among

its players. Knocking down all of one's- false barriers and-im­ages, the .Game is then intended -to enable one to see himself as , he is, - by seeing himself as he -appears J,toi.others.; Then, pos-._ sibly, the cause of his addiction may be discovered and he may­be able to help himself recover. .-

Synanon is not limited to res i - -, dents. 'The Synanon Game Club is open to any outsider who i s ' interested in Synanon either in­directly by donations or directly * by the Game.

In - an interview with Joseph O'Connell, it "was learned that there already are six students of Marist actively involved with Synanon, and-a few others have shown, interest.''- The Synanon' House in Tannersville hosts an Open House each Saturday even- ... ing, at which anyone who cares to may come either to watch or to -play die Game. There are- onlyv two laws at-Synanon: no chemi­cals, especially drugs and liquor, and no violence. For those who may be interf sted in learning a-bout Synanon, there is a lecture and a forum on campus being planned for the very near future.

PSIDELTA- . Continued from Pagt 3.

Scheduled by the society for October 24th, is a lecture and demonstation by Mrs. Pie-Fen Chin a dance therapist em­ployed by Hudson -River State Hospital. Miss Chin has been educated in the mainland of China. She is working with a possible

avenue of communication to "un­reachable"., patients. However, due to the nature of this lecture and the desires of Miss Chin, only a limited audience may at­tend this lecture. Thus mis de­monstation will be only for the' psychology majors.

St. Joseph's Convent on Lafayette Place in Downtown Poughkeepsie is the new home of eight Marist Student Brothers under the Di­rectorship of Bro. John Bosco. The small community is an ex­periment which was started last year in a house on Academy Street.

" 'Lately, some people on ampus ' have discovered money and there has been a predictable flurry of business speculation as'a result. "Of course," these would-be en-

many things, but mostly com;c. With a few names and circum­stances changed to protect some­thing or other, the discussion runs like this:

v Mr. Slat (alias-Mr. Hammond): " I have a letter from a Mr. Van Sull, requesting permission to operate a 'sleep-in' business on campus. The purpose of the business will be to enable stud­ents to 'sleep-in' undisturbed by -blaring record players, classes and other such noises until at least 2 PM. The rates are list­ed here and seem reasonable."

Mr. Bossman: "Is Mr.- Van Sull here? Ah yes...have you checked this with Mr. Nibot of the Sandwich Control Board?"

Van Sull: "Yes, he told me it was.-alright as long as any dis­ciplinary action would be per-

Who? Any questions?"

Mr. Noah (who "shares the title •Mr. Hammond' with Slat): "Mr. Van • Sull, how do you intend to prevent these disturbances from occuring- with the hearing dis­tance of your clientele?"

Van Sull: "By escorting all 1 offenders down to the lower par-adeC ground at high noon and boiling them in pickle juice. My employees -will be in full dress uniiorm >, of course."

-Noah: "It seem- to me that we are engaging in a dangerous precedent by establishing a pri­vate police force on campus."

Slat: "Tne precedent has been set — if Mr. LeBaron can do it, so can we! Besides it's not un-consitutional."

Mr. Shannon: "Maybe we ought to a.nend the constitution."

Bossman: "You're out oC or­der."

Shannon: "Sorry."

Mr. T. Bear: "Van Sull, why are your prices so high?"

"Van Sull:* " Well, pickle juice is very expensive and..."

Former U. S. Senator Barry ' Goldwater was the featured guest speaker ac Dutchess Community College on October 5th. Mr. Goldwater's topic was "U. S. Policy in Viet Nam". The lec­ture was part of Dutchess' Lyceum Series which will pre­sent Senator Wayne Morse in the near future, speaking on the same topic, but from a different angle.

Mr. Goldwater pointed out that the United States is still a com-parative.lyyoung country, and as su~;h has made, and is still mak­ing mistakes. He stressed his belief that there should be debate on U. S. involvement in the war, but that is should be debate on U. S. involvement in the war, but that it should take place after the' war has been won. For now, he urges all Americans to- support President Johnson and the coun­try's position as a world power. Based on his personal observa- ' tions and discussion with others -knowledgeble on the situation, he expressed his belief that the war is going better than the Ameri­can public is led to believe.

Mr. Goldwater also stated that he is not in favor of increasing

s After presenting the hisjorical v background oftheplan,Leuchten-

burg analyzed, tha effects of the plan and its defeat:, the Nsw Deal Coalition was spht, marking its own- end; the dissent within the Democratic' Party, coming to a head - at this time, has left' a bloody scar at many anominating

-"' convention since; F . D. R. lost any upperclass suport he had and a good-deal of his middle class support; and the measure under­mined his bi-partisan basis and gave the Republicans a rallying cry. ' As ta Roosevelt's "one big success", for "which he paid " so . frightful a-price", Professor Leuchtenburg adds praise for "he secured the legitimazation of a' vast expansion of the power of the, governmeit in American life." Leuchtenburg summed up by stating that the court packing plan was "for millions, the most important event in th3 history of the Supreme Court." -

Justice Douglas, who celebrat­ed his '74th birthday two days;

. prematurely at the luncheon when he was presented with a birthday cake, spoke on the constitutional impact of the court packing plan "

• in the afternoon session. He prefaced his remarks by stating

should have been speaking since he is "not particularly interest-

that he

ed in Suprems Court History." He outlined th? stance of the Su­preme Court en 'the inter-state commerce clause on which most of the New Deal legislation was based. Hi; cited spacificly the National Industrial Recovery Act, which the Court voted unconstitu­tional unanimously, as 3.ne or the decisions which provoked F / D , R's decision'.to pack the Couri. Douglas added "I venture the view Uiat no Court in our history could have held otherwise."

In the discussion with panelists Fred Rodell, of Yale University, Richard Ro/ere-of "The New Yorker", and Wilfrid Rumble' •of Vassar College, Justice Doug­las voiced hispersonal opinions on the issue often humorously. Speaking of F. D. R.'s decision to

continue to push the plan in the face of the opposition;he stated " I l?lt at the time that the parti­cular solution was not a' wise-one." Douglas went on to say, that although he "disliked very much what the Court was doing" with regard to New Deal legisla­tion, he felt tint if the court had been changed " i t would have given a different shade of meaning to the concept of an independent judiciary."^

- In response to a question ask­ing if.nine justices was the ideal, Douglas mentioned that tho court had finished their caucus the day before and that "after nine hours, 1 was glad that there weren't eleven justices." Justice Doug­las summed up by mentioning some of the major problem- in ^mrricj. Today, saying, "more is being done about these prob­lems than ever before, but still not enough is being done."

He traced the cause to today's issues, bound in Civil liberties, have the importance but not the glamor and flare that the court decsions concerning prohibition and economic rehabilitation had.

In regards to the subject of the symposium, the court pack­ing problem, Leuchtenburg felt that is was best that the bill never received approval because "if it had been possible then, it might be possible now." In ef­fect,; a President could deter­mine the interpretation given to the Constitution. It was John Adams who optimistically de­clared that the American govern­ment was " a government of laws, not of men. More realitically

the volume of U. S. bombing of Norm Vietnam, but that the list of targets should be changed. One proposal was to inform Ho Chi Minn that on a specific date the dock area of Haiphong would be bombed. This would give for­eign ships the opportunity to clear port, avoiding an international incident, and result only in die destruction of port facilities. Mr. Goldwater feels that this is suf­ficient to hasten the end of hos­tilities.

Goldwater surprised his audi­ence with the statement that if he had been in the Senate at the time, he would have opposed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, because he believes it gave too much unde­fined power to the President and renages on much of the power of the Senate.

The afternoon ended with Mr. Goldwater answering a question of no relevance to his topic, but in answering he showed the most enxtion of die day. When asked what) he thought of the younger generation, Goldwater expressed his great faith in young people and stated that the public should be told more about juvenile decency.

-rest of the season.MaybeI»mall wrong. Maybe we'll knock the hell out of Fairfield and Niagara^ etc., etc. But, win, lose or draw/there is something lacking in the* supervising structure of the Vikings—the" coaching 'staff. Maybe it lacks this thing we refer to as tact. Or- it could be Ithe lack of perception. -Personally, I believe a coach has more to do than simply drill a team against its own defense.i He' also has fcrbe able to pick out the potentials of each and every player, and make that player actualize those potentials.' During a week of pract­ice,-he should i be slowly 'bringing the team,' as a unit and as in­dividuals, t o . a mounting pitch-like-a roller coaster going up that long climb—which suddenly.opens up and explodes on the day of.the game.<• And, more .than anything else/he has to"get each player to believe in himself. Because if he doesn't,' no one else will- And the

' only-way to accomplish all mis is for a coach and his staff to firmly' believe in the' team he is coaching. Marist has a good team. But Marist alsd has individual football players with great potential. I just hope someone sees it before the season ends.

Cardinals Meet A Strong Defense After edging Manhattan, 20-18,

the Vikings brought their season "record to 2 and 1 with Sunday's -14-7 defeat of Catholic Univer­sity. ' Playing at, Cardinal Stad­ium Jin Washington, action began in thet first.. quarter when C.U. quarterback, Murphy, with a first and ten situation on his own 30 yard line, completed a pass to his right end, Chiavelli. The Cardinal receiver was able to elude his defensive man, and easily scored on a 70 yard run. C.U. completed-a one point con­version, leaving the Vikings be­hind, 7-0.

In the second quarter, the

Cardinals were on the Marist 34, with a 4th and 14situation. C.U.'s place-kicker, Gibbon, was sent in to attempt a field goal from about forty yards out. When the ball bounced off the uprights for an un­successful attempt, C.U.'s scor­ing threat ended for the duration of play.

Marist's first score came in the second quarter with aConroy pass. O'Reilly's conversion at­tempt was no good, and the half ended with a one point edge for C.UV

i After a nine play march from their ~own 48,'the Vikings found themselves with a third and goal

situation in the middle of the third quarter. Quarterback, Con-roy, scored on- a keeper play, and quickly followed up his tally with a two point run to the right, bringing the score to 14-7, Marist.

Late in the fourth quarter, Bill Dourdis fumbled on a first and goal situation on the one yard line. The Cardinal offense was able to move the ball to the ten yard line with the aid of a pass interference penalty against the Vikings. C.U. lost the ball-i downs, and two plays later, time ran out with the" ball in Viking possession.

With a close defeat still ring-, ing in their ears, _the~ cross­country team bounced back over the past few weeks to-sstablish itself as a top notch competitor with larger and better .equipped teams. -' - -

Starting on September 30th, our harriers overcame Stony Brook, Brooklyn;.. Saint Francis, and: Hunter Colleges in'apentagonal meet at Van Courtlandt ;Park. It was a race which saw John Goe-"gel, John Forbes, iPhil-Cappio, Brendan.Burke, and Tom Ma-honey-as our first five finishers. With cross-country the first five men from each team figure in the ~ scoring, astthe lower score wins. Also the meet was scored as though we ran individual races, with each of the schools mention-, ed,'_with the .results^Tbeing: Marist-26, Stony Brook-30;Mar-ist-23, Brooklyn-31; Marist-17, Saint Francis-46; and Marist-15, Hunter-40. - - "- ~ _

- The following Tuesday, Oct. 3rd, saw our runners whip Pater-son State 21-35, with our boys finishing 1,2,3,6,9 to Paterson's 4,5,7,8,11. / John Goegel won the race "with a time of "26 min. 11 sec. John Forbes was second with 26:36, Phil'Cappio third with 27:18, .Bob Andrews was our four­th finisher with 28:27, and Bren­dan Burke rounded out the first five finishers in a time of 29:11.

\ The nextSaturday, October 7th, after -a week of good "workouts, the team-traveled to Van Court­landt Park to face formidable op­position from .Kings Pointy and Fairleigh Dickinson University (Madison Campus.) The race was

^close,-"but was not in our. favor as Kings .Point-beat us 22^35,

"scoring 1,2;5,6,8 to our 3,4,7,10, "ll,"1 while the'Fairleigh Dickinson

15-40, scoring 1,2,3,4,5, to Saint Francis' 6,7,8,9,10. ^ ^

The Freshmen team composed of Mike Andrews, Greg Howe, Mike BellrBobMayerhofer, Mark DesJardins, Ed. 0»Neil and Steve Kupki deserve a word of praise. Their recent workouts have shown an improvement in times. However they are handicapped by the lack of meets in which to compete.

cancelled out of the Webb In­vitational Regatta because of rough waters on Oct. 1 and then

"""suffering "a defeat at Hie hands -of. Cornell,-Hamilton andR.PJ. in- the Area Championships, bounced back 'to take first place

_ in the Team Race Eliminationsl

this past Saturday "and'Sunday.

t After beating Patterson State on Oct. 3rd, at home, by a score of 2-0, the Maristbboters dropp­ed their next three games, losing two with a one point deficet.

.The Red Foxes blew their sec­ond game, against' Bloomfield, with 6:55 left in the game. A penalty shot gave Bloomfield the 1-0 edge which they retained throughout the final minutes of play. ~c, ; ? j "

' A disheartening tilt against Nyack, played" on "Marist turf, left the Red Foxes -with a 3-2 loss. < Marist scored twice -in the third period, tying the" game, *only-to lose it in the fourth per­iod as an easily-blocked Nyack shot-trickled intojhe net. That gave the missionaries possess­ion' of the one point lead needed to win.

MarisFs final loss was suffer­ed at the hands of Kings College. The 3-0 shutout brought the Red Fox record to 1 and 3, on Oct. 14.

Except for a few sparkling mo­ments against Patterson State, injuries and bad breaks took

their toll against Marist. It was Dennis Vernoia and Gordy Walton who tallied in.the open-' ing game. AgainstNyack, Walton scored again with a penalty kick. Bob Palumbo recorded the second point with a well-driven corner kick.

The _ loss of Bro. 'Isidore j

Sabeta this" season, due to an ankle injury,, has made the Marist^ offense considerably loose." The offensive -drive has also suffered with the absence of Egon Olafson and Bob Mennonna due to injuries. Coach, Howard Goldman, - concedes, however, that the~ Red "Foxes were out-hustled in their > meeting with Kings. . ~ "

Future - concentration on basics, and" drills on the ex­ecution of plays should shape the team to a powerful composite. The center fullback, McCleary, is just beginning to make the de­fense jell with the aid of goalie, Paul Sicilia. When Bro. Isidore returns to the line-up, the hoot­ers will have a much stronger defense than the one shown a-gainst Kings College.
