Fixtures Remain Brokenj;
Soon To Be Repaired
By Jim Kennedy
There has been a noticable
absence of light poles from their
usual upright position to that of
relaxing on the tire-ridden lawns
of the Marist campus.
According to Mr. Pavelko,
Maintenance Director, "Some
trouble developed in the wiring of
the lamps. Various poles have
shorted; however, two-thirds of
the poles are operative".
In regard to the.tire-tracks on
the lawns in front of Champagnat
and opposite Sheahan and Leo
dorms, Mr. Pavelko continued by
saying, "We had to go from pole
topole in order to fix the lanterns,
and the tracks were caused by
the lift truck". In reference to
when the grass will be repaired,
hesaid this will come about when
the weather is better, "and the
ground is workable". This also
holds for the repairing of the
lights, "for each pole has to be
lifted individually to be
checked."
In ending, Mr. Pavelko expressed his concern for the safety
of the students on a darkened
campus. "I know it is an inconvenience. Weather permitting, it will be done as soon as
possible."
Mid-Term Evaluations Discussed
By Irene Ross •'••-•'
Mid-term evaluations will be
out soon - and Richard A.
LaPietra, Academic Dean, has
stressed the need for discretion
and, accuracy in the "teachers'
grading. Faculty members and
students have recently^discussed
their ideas on the value of midterm grades.
John Kelly, associate professor
of economics here stated that he
does believe in the mid-term
grade. Mid-terms give ^the
student a chance to find out how
he is doing in a particular course.
Mr. Kelly also thinks that
"holding- grades"; that is, the
assignment of the same grade to
each member of the class, are
useless because they provide no
feedback for the student as to
how he is doing.

People grumbled about Christ

the sins of those who came to

this generation (which is supposed to be so generous, open

Imagine the earth shaking

Getting enough players to come
out for football is a relatively hew
problem. Coach Levine attributes
this .problem to two main
reasons. First of all Marist has
enjoyed a winning record the last
few seasons and many students,
Coach Levine feels, might be
under themistaken impression
that they.-•wouldn't have a chance
to play. As a matter of fact
Levine points, but that the last
time Marist had a losing season
the most number of players to
come out for the team was the
next season. Marist does not
- actively recruit for players, most
of the players here do not come to
Marist primarily to play football.
Levine explains that a player
doesn't have to be big or get a lot
of playing time in Club Football.
The other reason for not getting
as many students out as possible
is the faculties here at Marist.
They are "atrocious" says
Levine. Marist doesn't even have
a decent locker room, players
havetochange in their dormitory
rooms and many players don't
like to put up with this. Practice
, fields are in bad shape and this
results in many minor injuries.
This also inhibits players from
coming but.

When the ground hog came out
of his hole on February 2, he saw
his shadow and jumped back in.
This indicates that the cold
weather should not break until
the second week of March, and
the Marist Crew would have to
wait until then to begin this
season's rowing on the Hudson.
However, the ice that keeps the
boats off the water has melted.
The coaches are confident that
the docks will be in the water and
that the shells will be ready to go
by Wednesday of this week. The
early thaw helps the Marist
team, because they can immediately begin rowing workouts
on the home course instead of
traveling to Wappingers Pond as
was done in previous seasons.
The time saved in traveling can
now be used for critical watertime practice which is needed for

The oarsmen are extremely

begins the merits of these
strenuous "pre-water" practices
will be seen by both the oarsmen
and the coaches. As the
smoothness and continuity of the

placed on 500 and 1000 meter

Marist records now in the 60 yard

The team's finish will depend

THE GAME
Is college basketball U.C.L.A. vs. Notre Dame?'
Or is it the intramural championships here at Marist?
James Naismith would feel right at home in the Marist gym. It
would remind him of the old Springfield, Massachusetts Y.M.C.A.
where he invented-the game..
The only concession to sophistication in the Marist gym are iron
rims, glass backboards and netting instead of peach baskets.
