' ^B^^ w %# • I w
Club has received its charter
from the Student Government and
has commenced a program involving
students in areas of business
concern. Under the leadership
of John Carey, a senior, the
club has absorbed the remaining
membership of the Young
Executives and expanded the
goals of that now defunct organization.
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
i
will collect, sort, file and distribute
necessary information to
students interested in graduate
studies. They will also co-'
operate with the Registrar in
having representatives - from
grade schools speak on camous.
A committee under Dominic.
Favata has begun to collect, sort,
and distribute information on
such business functions as marketing,
personnel, production,
etc. They will be sponsoring
trips to financial institutions such
as the stock market, Federal Reserve
banks, and corporate business
in order to stimulate practical
and pragmatic awareness of
business functioning. r
Gabe Cicalej is working oh a
managerial consultation service,
researching various campus activities
with other clubs in solving
marketing and administrative
problems. Working closely with

the advertisingjcommittee. These
two committees recently pooled
resources with the Commuter
Student Union and helped that
club with the Arlo Guthrie Concert.
Pianist Lectures For
Cultural Committee
Through the efforts of Brother
Sweeney, co-chairman of the Cultural
Committee, Marist College
was host to Hanus A. Schimmerling,
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 toprovide
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 he 1 resides in
Woodstock, New York. He ; grad'i-
.ated from the University of
Vienna, and later studied at the
Conservatory in Prague.
Dr. Bobbin Explores Theory
Doctor J. M. Bobbitt,a noted
chemist and professor of chemistry
at the University of Con-necticut,
spoke in the' Marist
Theattier as the ,guest of the
Poughkeepsie chaper of the American
Chemical Society. Dr.
Bobbitt's topic was "Applications
of Thin Layer Chromotography."
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 a s
Microscope slide, coated with
Silica Gel ( a thin layer of several
microns) separatingthree organic
dyes using benzene as a solvent^
''
The remainder of the lecture
was devoted to quantitative,
qualitative and preparative uses
for this technique as well as
suggestions for consistancy in
results'. The lecture was supplemented
with slides of expert-

not stressed in the lecture, was

On Tuesday'evening, October

spoke at the Marist Theater on

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

are foes to oar common brotherhood,
a Christian must strive to
eradicate apathetic acceptance of

In Performance
Arlo Guthrie, son of the-late
folk singer - composer. Woody
Guthrie; performed in the college
theatre,, as ' part of a concertmixer
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

Throughout the show Guthrie.

folk tradition. The FBI was
particularly singled out for ridicule

that was used in reference tojhe

to this organization and was a

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.
Relaxing'after his lecture, Fr. Jude listens to the views of Bro.

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 alsorecommended
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.
v.
Addicts Seek Help
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 hous­
es. 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 resi- -,
dents. 'The Synanon Game Club
is open to any outsider who is'
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 about
Synanon, there is a lecture
and a forum on campus being
planned for the very near future.
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.

AT DUTCHESS
Somewhere In The Council J/ Goldwater Speaks Out
" '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 eny
trepeneurs are under the control
.of the Student Council and presumeably
within .the reach of the
Attorney General and the Judici­
ary. I think it unfortunate that
most of these fledglingbusiness- *'
esare offering services hither-
- to-fore - rendered gratis. The.
_ 'council's reaction, as usual, is
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-
~ formed outside the dorms."
Bossman: "I will entertain a
/motion..,."* •
• - -" Mr. Goofy:~'iLsa»move.«~-~ i—

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 paradeC
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 unconsitutional."
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..."
T. Bear: "Maybe you could
work out something with the Rathskeller,
excuse me, with the
snack bar, since they must have
alot-of-,pickle- -juice - left - over-." -
Bossman: - "Second...Mr. Al Van Sull: "We're doing that,
sure sense of victory", yet the
' oppostion of the Supreme Court
; to manyNeivDealmeasuresforc-
. "ed the opinion that "a confrontation
with th'e-court was inevitalbe."
Leuchtenburgoutlinedthe
courses of. action available/

situation and the maneuvering
that occured in the House and

ing thiS'bUl. " ,.
s After presenting the hisjorical
v background oftheplan,Leuchtenburg
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 celebrat­
ed 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
FD.R.'s Policies -J
but there still isn't enough pickle
juice."
Noah: "Isn't it true that this
business has the backing of the
SDS?" . - '
Bossman: "You're out of order."
Mr. Dill: "Do you plan to have
any catering service at your executions?
and if so, which ser-
- vice?"
Bossman: "You're out of order."
T. Bear: "I think it's a good
idea."
-Who?: "I think it's a good
idea."
Mr. Morris: "I think the
mercenary morality, or lack of
it, is completely unchristian."
Who?: "I think it's a good
idea."
Goofy: "I move wi: vote on the
motion."
Bossman: "You're out of order."
Morris: "I move the precious
question."
Bossman: "Vote...unanimous.
I will now call for a vote on the
motion to allow Mr. Van Sull's
business on^campas, All in
favor...unanimous —motion carries."

In regards to the subject of
the symposium, the court packing

that is was best that the bill

"if it had been possible then, it
might be possible now." In ef­

it entails, the ex'xius
and the displacemtnt of people
It creates, cause a steady deterioration
of material living conditions
and therefrom xise the .resentment
of people and their desire

Thus, if the movement of the
revolutionary was encounters an
opposition by its action, this
opposition will be enhanced by a
reaction as powerful as the force
exerted by the movement itself.
On Viet Nam Policy
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 comparative.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
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.
