Recess Begins After Last Class January 25. LEAHY LEADS OFF Bill Leahy launched the dis- cussion when he reported that at last Sunday’s 11:30 Mass, he was rebuked by 20-odd students when he suggested as the assigned usher at that Mass, that they take seats in the front left section of the chapel. These seats were unoccupied throughout the Mass but it seems that some students make a habit of sticking close to the right rear of the chapel in order to make a fast exit at the Mass’s end in order to race to the Dining Hall for a front position. SEVERAL STUDENTS SPEAK This is the problem which confronted the Council. In addition, the recurring tardi- ness at all Masses entered the discussion. Dick Bousquet offered two alternatives. He said, ‘‘Either initiate a 10:30 Mass immediately to} absorb the overflow at the 11:30, or make the last Mass high and discourage the late sleepers. Jack Eaton offered, ‘*Obviously we can’t lock the doors to the chapel,’’ and Paul Kanecountered, ‘‘Actually the problem has been solved. There are bound to be a few students late at each Mass, Circumstances vary each week and some students just don’t make it on time. ‘‘But, he continued, ‘‘We as a Student Continued on page 3 Satan Peladeau New Sports Editor The Editorial Board of THE MICHAELMAN announced today the appointment of senior Marius Peladeau to the position of Sports Editor for the remainder of the year. He will succeed Jack Thomp- son in this capacity, who has served as dean of the sports page for the first semester while also writing a weekly column, ‘* Sport- scoop.’”’ Peladeau stated that the appointment came as a surprise to him and was quite un- expected. However, in speaking of his immediate aims for for the sports staff in future issues, he said, ‘‘ We will try to add more color to the sport pages this semester with the use of more pictures. In addition, we plan to have an extended coveraged of winter sports with greater emphasis on skiing and hockey. More space also will be devoted to inter- class and intramural sports.”’’ A native of Brattleboro, Vt., Marius has an extensive background in journalism and sports. Always interested in writing, he bagan his career in college journalism at Loyola College in Montreal, Canada. There as a freshman he was News Editor for the college yearbook and editor of The Arts Society newspaper. Besides these activities he played tennis and baseball while participating in numerous other intramural sports. Marius transferred to St. Michael’s in his sophomore year. Already an experienced member of the fourth estate, he immediately joined the staffs of both the MICHAELMAN and the Lance. An English WINOOSKI PARK, WINOOSKI, VT. Council Leaves Mass Problem To Students The Sunday Mass Problem came up again at last Tuesday night’s Council meeting and the subject was tossed back and forth for forty minutes as several members voiced opinion concerning the matter. Career Day Is Feb.24 Encouraged by the success of and the attendance at last year’s Career Day, the Place- ment Office and the Student Council will conduct another on the afternoon of February 24. The purpose of this day is to encourage the under graduates to start thinking about their life’s work. Final arrangements are now being made by Mr. Kenney and members of theStudent Council. At the present time they are determining just what fields the students wish to have dis- cussed. They are doing this by means of a questionaire now being circulated and to which sixty percent of the students have replied. Alumni from all parts of New England and the Atlantic Seaboard will attend. After being greeted with a reception in the office of Father Moriarty, the graduates will discuss their special fields with interested students, in three, thirty minute sessions. This will help those students who are doubtful as to their vocation or uncertain as to the necessary pre-requisites of a certain field to resolve their doubts. Marius Peladeau, New Sports Editor major, he wished to combine his English writing experience with reporting and was swayed by a love for athletics to concentrate on sports” re- porting. Looking for further first hand experience, he also worked for the Burlington Daily News this past summer. Apart from writing, Marius main interest at SMC is the Sailing Team. He has been a member of the squad of Sea- faring Knights for three years and was elected last June to the rank of Commodore. After graduating from St. Michael’s Marius plans to do graduate work in journalism. VOL. 9 NO.12 JANUARY 21, 1956 ——_— Retreat will begin Feb. 1 At 8:30 p.m. and ends Sat.

Opus Dei Speaker Says Catholics Guilty Pointing out that ‘‘God calls us to His work in many: different ways,’’ Fr. Cormac Burke of the Opus Dei move- ment, explained the philosophy of the movement in Science Hall last Sunday. The claim that Catholics are guilty today of intel- lectual mediocrity may have some basis in fact, Fr. Cormac stated. Because of a lack of effort or too little sense of vocation, too many Catholics fail to carry their daily life, he continued. The danger in Catholic Action is that too little importance is given to the supernatural side, where real sanctity is needed;: men of great pro- fessional ability, who are active in Catholic affairs forget their original super- natural aim, the ex-lawyer said. LAYMEN ARE MEMBERS Invited to St. Michael’s by Professor and Mrs. Devlin, in conjunction with the Sodality, Fr. Burke brought with him two lay members of the Opus Dei, Dr. Peter Ejarque, a Harvard medical student, whose home is in Spain, and Michael Curtin, a Physics student at Harvard. During his speech, Fr. Burke explained to the audience of students and faculty that the members of Opus Dei are not outwardly pious in the usual sense of the word, but in- stead associate on the pro- fessional level with those of their own and other faiths, trying to make the Catholic influence felt. VOCATION IMPORTANT Opus Dei holds that though many Catholics feel internally the need for abetter spiritual life, and externally take part in organized Catholic Action, they often forget immediate things, such as their vocation and daily personal contacts, which are also important in the eyes of God. Continued on page 4 Band Competes At Saranac W inter Show Saturday, February 11, will find the St. Michael’s AFROTC Band journeying to Saranac Lake, N.Y. The band, led by Cadet Captain Frank Moriarty, has been invited, by Officials of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Committee, to parti- cipate ina “battle of the bands” at their Annual Winter Carnival. This affair is a widely known and a very color- ful event. PRIZES OFFERED As a major highlight of the “battle”, three prizes, to- taling $350, will be given to the bands judged as best. As has been demonstrated in past years, competition will be keen; and the Michaelmen are putting in some strenuous re- hearsals and drills in prepa- ration for it. The bandsmen are giving up many “ extra- curricular’'’activities wil- lingly in order to be comple- tely prepared for the competi- tion by February 11, they expect to be ready for any competition that may come their way. DETAILS NOT AVAILABLE As yet, details of the Car- nival. are unavailable, but it is expected that at least 10 top notch bands will be com- peting; so that the Michaelmen will have their hands full. One thing, however, is known; the band expects to come home with one of the prizes. Caine Mutiny Rehearsal ‘© The Caine Mutiny Court Martial ’’ has been selected as that club’s annual pre- will be’ under the direction the Humanities Department. READINGS COMPLETED Doctor Citarella disclosed yesterday that final readings for the play had been com- pleted and that the cast was now prepared for regular re- hearsals. The cast, as listed by the director, includes Ray Geremia president of the club, in the role of Maryck, a principle figure involved in the mutiny. Jack Stebbins will play Lt. Keefer, the sly instigator of the action against Capt. Queeg, while Queeg himself will be will be portrayed by Frank Cafarelli. Frank Keane will be seen as 1 Lt. WillisKeith, another prin- cipal defendant in the trial. Prosecuting Keith and his com- panions will be Dick Bousquet as the court’s attorney, Lt. Com. John Challee. His Oppo- site at the trial, the counsel for the defense, Lt. Greenwold will be played by Walter Bell- court. The last of the defen- dants is Signalman Third Class Junius Urban, played by John Smith. Taking the stand as expert will be Tom Leavitt as Capt. Southard, Ken O’Neill as Capt. Blakely, and the two medical officers will be acted by Nor- man Dube and Joseph Merigo. PARTS STILL AVAILABLE As extensive as the case is, Dr. Citarella announced that as yet there were still a few = “hart untill edssHe invites the attendance of any interested students at the Austin Hall rehearsals. Commenting on the capabili- ties of the cast and the un- usual. suitability of the mate- rial, Dr. Citarella expects a production that will be equal to any that the club has o f- fered in the past. The play, as the director sees it, ‘“‘Is the type that’s natural for Higher Pay For Teachers St. Michael’s graduates who went directly from college into teaching this past year are earning from $3400 to $4600 annually, according to Prof. Thomas J. Moran, chair- man of the Education depart- ment. In a survey made for the faculty, Moran found that the average starting salary for 15 graduates who have Senior or Junior high teaching jobs is about $3850. They are teach- ing in Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and California. Lowest starting salary for two graduates who began in Vermont high schools was $3400. The highest starting salary was that of a Winooski resident who signed to teach in a Los Angeles Junior High School at $4600. Next highest salary was earned by a Burling- ton man who started at $4000 in upper New York state. All had several offers. Continued on page 3 PAGE 2 = Were Dressing Up Well, here it is Michaelmen, we’re finally going to the reason for had prepared for say something nice about you. Frankly, doing so is that the little blast we this week was censored. Student dress here on campus has improved considerably during the last year. It is not yet on the level it should be ideally, but we think that, at present, we dress much better than the men across the river. The Administration is partly responsible for this im- provement in dress. Though the regulation on the wearing of ties is made to look ridiculous by those who don’ t| know any better, those who take the rules seriously do themselves and St. Michael’s a good deed. Dressing well does two big things for the man who does so: first he looks better on the surface - and this can fool the profs into thinking his students are a little more intelligent than they really are; and secondly, probably most important, the well-dressed man FEELS GOOD. Just how to explain the psychology of it would be difficult, but the fact remains that when one is dressed well, he feels better, and consequently gets more done, and does a better job. Of course, in the rush to ‘‘look collegiate,’’ there is always the danger of losing one’s individualism. For this reason, we don’t go out of our way here to urge any and every one to rush out and purchase: (1) white bucks; (2) grey flannels; or (3) repp ties. Though it’s difficult to be different, a look around you will allow you to as- certain that the man who is different is generally the one who gets somewhere. The man who follows the crowd now will be apt to do so later. We don’t go along with the present rules on wearing ties 100 percent either; certainly a well-groomed man looks better with a good sports outfit - slacks, shirt, coat - than he does in a red plaid flannel shirt with accompanying yellow tie and khakies. Of course, as we said before, the individual makes himself look more ridiculous than he does the rules when he dresses like this. With a little more effort on the part of the student body we can improve our exterior appearance much more. Though trying to keep up with the Joneses - in this case the Ivy League, is not always commendable, here such an end is entirely justifiable. On False Alarms It seems as though the Christmas spirit is still present among SMC students. Possibly the gents are still in doubt as to whether bells, that is false alarms, are associated with the holiday spirit of joyous festival singing. Fridays, January 6th and 13th, around 1:00 A.M., some rambunctious students, intriqued by the touted-color, red, were daring enough to violate the fire alarm box outside College Hall. Responding to these foolish antics at such an ungodly hour were the Winooski Volunteer Firefighters under the command of Fire Chief Paul Gunther. It is evident that such incidents are in no way representative of a college man who supposedly is intelligently pursuing an edu- cation. The Chief has warned the officials of the college that another such call will result in the removal of the alarm box on campus. Action on this matter was thus referred to the administration as it would be an un- necessary and expensive burden for the fire department to have to continue investigation. Anyone of college calibre who engages in such juvenile folderol is indeed exposing himself to the shameful fate of expulsion.

Prexy Has Own Solution Dear Mr. Editor: Your lengthy editorial in the last issue on the crying need for a lecture Series was well-put but poorly directed. Being inthe position of chair- man of our student representa- tive body, I rarely have the opportunity to express an opinion, but let me express this one: there definitely is a crying need for a combined lecture and concert series here at St. Michael’s, Perhaps I can crystallize my point by approaching this matter from the financial angle. Each student pays $291 tuition per semester. Now, the administration promises to provide an education for this fee --- it does not promise a lecture series (the admini- stration is very cooperative as regards student affairs; I do think however, that a Faculty Club for cultural Purposes would be a good idea). It does, however, allot around $10,000 to the Student Council for the promotion of student activities. Since the Council is heavily-laden with club representatives, prac- tically all of this comes and goes immediately. That is, about 97% of the budget is im- mediately alloted to the organizations on campus (over 80% to the Shield, MICHAELMAN, and Lance alone), and thereby isolated from the Council proper until the books are closed in June. So, what does the average Council have to work with? Between $300 and $500. Fortunately, unexpected revenue on Coca-Cola has boosted the Council reserve to well beyond that figure this year. Now is the time for the Council to use that money wisely --- on a compre- hensive, coordinated, all- embracing lecture and concert series. It’s not too late. The program outlined in the editorial is agood suggestion. Four professors, three people from other colleges, and a big name --- that sounds fine (I would add aconcert or two), But it’s not a new suggestion. Mind you, I suggested just such a program back in Septem- ber, and the suggestion fell on deaf ears in the Student Council. The fact that the idea has lain dormant so long makes me wonder what we’ve been doing these last four months. If I can’t say this to Council members from the chair at meetings, at least I can say it here: We’ve got the money, and let’s spend it on a worthwhile lecture and concert series that will benefit all the students. Yours truly, Hank Bredenberg Interested Michaelman and Student Council President Ed. Note: I suggested that the campus clubs arrange the details and hoped that the Administration would handle the finances. I doubt that an organization which will refuse to join the National Student Association at a cost of $300, but that will spend $800 plus for two issues of a very mediocre campus literary magazine, will competently handle a series such as the one pro- posed, Dislikes Review To the Editor, It is always disturbing to observe the encroachment of opinion into a journal of fact. The displeasure is in- tensified when the opinion is couched in insinuation, un- supported by fact, and openly erroneous toanyone even super- ficially acquainted with the Continued on page 3 JANUARY 21, 1956 Dear Fellow integratists, If while strolling across campus you sight a bold and brawny figure in the distance, don’t be frightened. That broad pair of shoulders, those bulging arms, and that bear-like chest belong to none other than Sully Barr, the Soph terror. Although Sully was always quite rugged, his recent visits to the weight-lifting room have made him more formidable than ever. His main problem now is to find weights heavy enough to offer him a challenge. FEWER CARS NOW While canoeing across campus last Thursday we couldn’t help but note the decrease in motors around the place. Before Christmas recess our grounds had the appearance of a used car lot, but now the man with wheels is a very much sought-after fellow. Even Neil Fitzpatrick has made the supreme sacrifice and left his powder blue job home. There was a little scratch on its side and Neil couldn’t stand even the most minute imperfection. Again on the automotive front - Willie Wallace has hung up his black leather jacket and benched his cycle till Spring. Ever since last year’s production of Stalag 17, Ray Geremia has been swaggering all over the campus a/la William Holden. For the sake of the boys in Ray’s dorm, we’re sure glad he has the part of the ensign in the “‘Caine Mutiny’? instead of Queeg. Can you imagine the sound of clicking ball bearings for the next five months? The way the Seniors were peppering the hoop in last week’s game with the Sophs, they could have given our Varsity a battle. Only Russ Gangi’s entrance into the game saved the Sophs from complete devastation. AFROTC PROF. PERPLEXED Recently Lt. Griggs was assigned a term paper by Father Lanoue in History class. The Lieutenant diligently searched for his material, formulated his theme, and neatly typed it up. Now, the young officer is a bit per- plexed. He received no grade on the paper, but he did receive a pamphlet in the mail, sent by Father Lanoue, entitled, ‘‘How to Write a Term Paper.”’ (This tidbit turned in by a disgruntled Junior, Sir!) We wonder if the Middlebury ballplayers fully appreci- ate the courtesy our cheering section rendered the team at last Saturday night’s game. Most cheering sections are silent when opposing players are on the foul line, and thereby build up pressure on the shooter. But not so with our charitable group. We made so much noise the Middlebury players couldn’t even hear themselves think. Thus we removed all the pressure usually forced upon them by silence. The members of the AFROTC Drill Team are demanding that their leader, Dick Murphy, stops reading war stories. The cadets seem to be cracking under Captain Murphy’s new disciplinary measures. They have even threatened transferring to West Point, where they say it will be less strict. Anyway, after 600 words of genuine, 100 percent trivia, this thing has ended for another week. And are we glad? If you think it was a drag reading it, imagine how we feel writing such trash. See you around. "LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler ts that I know ‘One big advantage in taking this course over when I’m supposed to laugh.’’ JANUARY 21, 1956 Review Continued from page 2 facts. For that reason I strongly object to the publi- cation of the article, ‘‘A Look At St. Michael’s Lance.’’ As for the condemnation of the Lance for ‘‘not having sown the seed ’’ of literary ambition amongst the student body, the fertilizing exer- tions of the past editor, Dave Essenfeld, .immediately dispel any hint of truth from this charge. Continuing the biological analogy, if a harvest was lacking the fault might well bewith the creative sterility of the student body, and, needless to Say, the artificial insemination proposed periodically by those who seek the liquidation of the Lance is hardly any solution. It is the hope of this cor- respondent that future re- views will benefit by some before-hand examination of the facts and will present them honestly and intelligently. Robert T. Dumaine Ed Note: We ran this review, not for the sake of criticizing a sis- ter organization, but to bring to the mind of the student body their failure to contri- bute in a worthwhile manner to the Lance. Unless the stu- dents see it in print they will fail again to give the Editor of the magazine enough material to put out a good issue in the spring. We have been supported al- most 100% in the assertion that the most recent issue was not a good one. Teachers Continued from page 1 Moran said that the startin salaries are better than usual- ly believed, but that the salaries alone do not tell the story. Teachers in many of the smaller towns, he said, benefit from low cost housing or rent. Placements for 14 of the 15 new teachers were handled through the St. Michael’s Education office. The survey covered only those Education Concentrators who were grad- uated in June. It did not in- clude others who did graduate work or who went into teach- ing from industry. Moran told of another re- cent graduate who took a well paid teaching position this past year, though he had no Education courses. The New York community wanted a teacher with a strong science and liberal arts background and was able to pay enough to ate tract him from his research position in industry. Prof. Moran said he was en- couraged by the number of St. Michael’s. students who are turning to teaching and by the improving salaries that are offered to new teachers. The salaries will become better, he said, not only for begin- ners but also at the other end of the scale as communities become pressed for well train- ed teachers. Those who concentrate in Education here meet certifi- cation requirements and get their student teaching in and around Burlington or in their own home towns. Under the supervision of Prof. Moran and experienced teachers in each community, the students first observe, then assist with auxiliary duties and finally plunge into the full fledged process of preparing, presenting and cor- recting class work. The stu- dent teaching is marked as classwork and the report of the supervising teacher is kept on file here to assist interested superintendents.

Coombs donated a choice remark to the group when he reminded them that ‘‘A man who arrives late at Mass com- mits sin and there is no doubt about it.’’ This tempered things down and a motion was finally made and voted through to the effect that ‘‘The Student Council goes on record as believing that the ‘problem’ of Mass lateness has been solved as far as possible, a 10:30 Mass will be inserted into the present schedule, and that now it is a problem of the indi- vidual student.’’ This motion was amended with the sugges- tion that a notice to this effect be forwarded to Fr, Duford.

The first con- cerned duties of the Council towards class activities. A section which read, ‘‘To supervise the activities of the classes,’’ has been re- vised, subject to approval, to read ‘‘to supervise the activities of the classes and the other interclassactivities of the College.”’ The second proposed alter- ation was that the office of Corresponding Secretary be liquidated. The committee suggested that the vice- president assume the duties of this office. CAMPUS CONCERT DUE Dan McCarthy, welcomed as the new Glee Club Representa- tive, stated that his organi- zation would like to give a vocal .concert on campus next month to raise funds towards the purchase of blazers for the Glee Club. The funds, he pointed out, would have to be collected over a period of years. Fr. Coombs stepped in here and explained that on July 1st each year the Club assets are written off the books and a carry-over fund is not possible.

Kilian McDonnell, Benedictine priest, writing in the December issue of The Sign, national Catholic magazZine, He cites the television version of Thornton Wilder’s ‘‘Our Town ’’ as ‘‘remarkably close to the caricature of heaven which many people draw for themselves.”’ “If this is heaven,’’ Father McDonnell declares, ‘‘then Christianity is only aservice- able lie. If this is the goal of our striving then certainly we, of all men, are the greatest of fools.’’ ‘‘Heaven,’’ he asserts, ‘‘is essentially seeing God. We have a difficult time under- standing how this vision of God can be our greatest happi- ness. Of course we want to see God! But to go on just looking at God for all eternity seems to be a little tiresome... We must answer that the vision of God is something we cannot understand now...Only when we grow up to eternity, when we have reached the maturity that lies beyond time, will we begin to know what it means to see God face to face.’’ The priest cites Moses’ re- quest to be allowed to see God’s face and God’s reply, ‘No man cansee God and live.’’ Father McDonnell comments, **In our present state we could not endure the vision of God. Seeing God as He is would be too great a joy, and we would be crushed by its magnitude.’’ ‘*Heaven,’’ he continues, “is for both body and soul... The glorified soul will have full dominion over the body. The body will retain its nature as a material body, but it will take on qualities of a spiritualized body. For in- stance, the body will have the power of passing through other material objects. NAME CADET RANK ASSIGNMENT Narkewicz, Richard M, Colonel Commander Seigal, John W. Lt. Colonel Dep.

Memo On Class Bowling 1. Facilities available last year for bowling teams are now closed. bo Since we are limited as to time and place and it is therefore impractical to run the Bowling Interclass competition on the same team basis as last year, we will alter the competition techniques. 3. Instead of running the competition on a 4-man team basis we shall run it on an individual score basis with team finals. 4. ALL STUDENTS INTERESTED AND WHO HAVE SIGNED UP FOR INTERCLASS BOWLING BY JANUARY 23, will be required to post scores for 12 strings in Duck Pins. 5. To post valid and acceptable scores each entrant MUST bowl with at least TWO OTHER bowlers from classes other than his own and each bowler’s score card must be signed and witnessed by the other two or more bow- lers who bow] their strings with him. This condition will serve to preserve the competitive nature of the sport. After each such match, individual scores for each string must be deposited in the Office of the Director of Interclass Activities. 6. Three (3) strings of Duck Pins will cost $.50 and King Pins will cost $.40 per string on receipt of a BOWLING TICKET from the Dean of Men’s Office and which has to be presented at the alleys. This price includes rental of shoes. 7. Each ENTRANT must have posted scores with this office for his 12 strings no later than March 16, 1956. 8. The FOUR HIGHEST AVERAGE SCORES FOR 12 STRINGS IN EACH CLASS WILL BOWL OFF AS TEAMS during the week of March 18 to 27. Total cost of this TEAM COMPETITION WILL be met by this office. 9. Highest TEN AVERAGE SCORES FOR 12 STRINGS among all bowlers will earn 20 points for their class. 10. In Interclass TEAM matches to be held March 18 to 27, each class team will bowl] the other three class teams 3 strings. Each victory in the best two out of three strings will be worth 20 points for the class. THIS BOWLING ACTIVITY IS ENTIRELY DEPENDENT UPON STU- DENT. INTEREST. TAKE PLACE AT THE ETHAN ALLEN BOWLING ALL INTERCLASS BOWLING COMPETITION WILL CENTER IN THE NORTH AVENUE SHOPPING CENTER. A MINIMUM OF TWENTY-FIVE ENTRANTS IS NEEDED FOR THIS ACTIVITY. Gerard P. Duford, S.S.E. Director of Interclass Activities. Juniors Lead Class Ball The Juniors remain unde- feated in Interclass competi- tion with a 4-0 record while the Seniors have split four games, the Sophs report a 2-3 count, and in the cellar are the Freshmen with one win and four losses. The tide will probably change several times, however, as there are still seven weeks remaining in the season, GRETKOWSKI BOOSTS FROSH Last Tuesday night the Frosh hit the win column for the first time this season by subduing the Sophs $2-53. Hank Gretkowski, playing his first Interclass game, threw in 30 points and played a bang-up floor game at the same time. Gretkowski was hot and was not to be denied, but Don Mozzi also shared the spot- light as he netted 28 points for the second year men. It was a great offensive tilt and both teams worked well around their two trigger men. Gret- kowski’s 30 and Mozzi’s 28 are both the highest total points scored by an individual player this year, On January 9 the Seniors dumped the Sophs with a 57-37 Shellacking. Frank Keane was high man for the victors with 15 points followed by rangy Bill Leuchten whocollected 11. Big Jim 0’ Neill was the ace in the hole for the second year yearlings by grabbing those rebounds and leading the offense with 11 points. The following night the the Winter Carnival, we give you below the basketball schedule for the next three weeks so that you can tell where the Knights will play: Jan. 28 Northeastern A 31 Colby H Feb. 3 Vermont A 5 Creighton H 9 Clarkson 4 5 Ee EN ile H Ed. = THE MI CHAELMAN BY JIM BREAGY The Purple Knights of St. Michael’s have been very busy little beavers this past week as they ran their winning Streak in state competition to four games by setting a Vermont‘college scoring record in Burlington’s Memorial Auditorium Wednesday night over Norwich, 102-71, after winning a thriller from a good Middlebury Club 67-64 last Saturday night. ONE-SIDED GAME In burying the Kaydets, who came into Burlington six men short because of disciplinary reasons, the Knights made it two straight over the hapless crew from Northfield. The game was a completely one-sided affair as the Jacobsmen threw in 56 points in the first half, CIEPLICKI HIGH MAN Sparked by the play of Bernie Cieplicki who threw in 21 points, his high for the season, the Knights piled it on in the second half to go over the 100 point mark. This is the first time that it has ever been done in Memorial Auditorium by a Vermont col- lege team. Three starters, John Wegrzynski, Drew Denmead and Bill Kichar, were tied for second in the scoring with 16 points apiece while Bill Loeffler threw in 12. Yeadon and Rowell headed the scoring for the Kaydets in each getting 14. PANTHERS LOOK GREAT Led by Big Tom Hart, who grabbed off somewhere in the vicinity of forty rebounds and by Charlie Sykes who threw in 25 points, Middlebury put on a real show last Saturday night before bowing to’ the Knights 67-64, who had to come from behind twice in the last ten minutes to win it. KNIGHTS LEAD AT HALFTIME As a result of four succes- sive field goals by Bill Kuchar the Jacobsmen led at the five minute mark by a score of 11-6 only to have the accurate shooting of Sykes tie it up at 10:50, 20-20. The Knights couldn’t be held though as they soared to a 36-29 half- time advantage. LEAD CHANGES HANDS The never-say-die Panthers came roaring back in the second half to take the lead at 6:33 as forward Cy An- findsen threw in two points to make the score 44-43, Middlebury. The Hilltoppers were not to be denied, how- ever, and a Bernie Cieplicki set shot put them back in the lead five minutes later 51-50. It changed hands again as Sykes made it 56-55 from the foul line but ‘‘0l’ Reliable ”’ Bill Kuchar added two more field goals to his total to give the Knights the edge 61- 58. When John Wegrzynski fouled out with approxi- mately two minutes remaining, Knight fans expected the worst but Panther fouling sent Drew Denmead, Cieplicki Since this is the last is- sue of the MICHAELMAN until Frosh hit the dust and were trampled by the Juniors by a very lop-sided 53-33 score. George Smith and Bob Caprio led the barrage with 14 and 13 points respectively. Smith was very effective in the first half with his one- hander and the ever reliable player-coach Caprio was the big man from the outside. JANUARY 21, 1956 By MARIUS B. PELADEAU Before anyone begins to throw stones (or in this wea- ther, snowballs), we will attempt to explain our posi- tion. A change in the sports staff on the MICHAELMAN neces- sitated a few other changes. Jack Thompson and his ‘Sportscoop’ will not be able to be with us every week, and since we rightly believed that it was, in a way, his own column, we hesitated to use it for ourselves. Naturally, everyone on first seeing the masthead of this column will be reminded of Dave Egan and his daily column in the Boston Record. However, in this the first issue of ‘The Campus Colonel’ we would like to make the point that the only resemblance anyone should make be- tween this column and Egan’s column is in the masthead. We make no claim whatsoever to be another Dave Egan, to reflect his views, etc,. In fact, let it be stated here - we have no connection with Egan at all * * * *€ * * * * K * Saturday’s Middlebury-S.M.C. basketball game was a thriller, to say the least, and a good game to win, probably the best game so far this season...but anyone who saw the game couldn’t help but come away without having a great impression of the Panther’s Tom Hart... more natural talent on the court, we haven’t seen in many a year...comment of one spectator - ‘‘best ball- player in the state.”’ We can’t very well argue with that. The expected ‘contest’ between the Knights’ John Wegr- zynski and Hart was still unsettled after the game. **Pickles’’ had 19 points to Hart’s 14, and Hart really pulled in those rebounds off both boards, especially in the second half. Let’s just say that both played a great game. * k * * * KK KK * The Freshman basketball team looks good again this year...so far they sport a more than respectable 4-1 record. Despite that loss to the U.V.M. Kittens, it still looks like a good year for the Frosh. They really looked impressive in their 80-53 win over the Middlebury Frosh Saturday night. It was gratifying to the many local fans at last Satur- day’s Frosh game to see Ralph St. Peter on the floor for the Squires. A grad of Cathedral High here in the city, he has quite a following...Brother Pinard is also happy to see his brother, Fran, on the squad...he’s a product of Spaulding High in Barre...both boys were the cream of the crop in Northern League play last year... * * * * * * * K OK * Here an* there an* nowhere - What happened to the ““Follow the Five’’ plan?...a real ‘hot-stove league’ has developed in Austin Hall every Saturday afternoon as the local ‘boys’ gather to watch the NBA basketball games... the comment in the ‘Sportscoop’ last. week that Dick Mc- Guire was the best ballplayer in the NBA might draw an argument from Boston Celtic and Bob Cousy fans...the idea in ‘Daze and Knights’ about cheerleaders for the ball games 1s a good one...we mean that...you would be sur- prised how much it helps...’till next week - stay loose. and Tom Lemanowicz to the foul line where they combined in throwing in six out of eight to put the game on ice, WEGRZYNSKI HIGH MAN Big John Wegrzynski was the high scorer for the Knights as he threw in 19 points. His rebounding couldn’t go un- noticed either as he had 19 in the first half alone. For Middlebury dead-eye Charlie Sykes was the culprit with 25 notches, Tom Hart had 14 and Cy Anfindsen made double figures with 10. the ball while Middlebury’s Tom Hart watches him in some furious action under the boards during Saturday’s 67-64 win over the Panthers.

Dupont’s recent ad- dress to the assembled Senior class served to acquaint those men with the educational rigors yet in store for them. Confirming the official departure of the adminis- tration from the previous practice of affording exam exemptions to meritorious seniors, the Dean informed the class that under the new curriculum all seniors would be obliged to take all final exams and also to undergo a set of three examinations successfully in order, to qualify for graduation. The three examinations, in the order in which they will be administered, con- Continued on page 3 “The Purpose of Life ’ was the subject of a of sermons given by Retreat Master Rev. John Redden, O.M.I., to the constantly attentive student body. Wednesday night the Re- treat was officially opened in Austin Hall. The stage had been transformed into an altar, beautified by a by a white backdrop re- placing the faded blue curtain which is usually used. Fr. Redden delivered a short inaugural address on the purpose of making a Retreat and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament marked the close of the first evening service. Howls of protest echoed throughout the dorms Thurs- day morning when Freshmen and Sophomores were awakened fin ch en Moind demo mth night’’ to attend 7 o’clock Mass while upper classmen were granted an extra 45 minutes of sleep until 7:45 Mass. Surprisingly, attendance at these early Masses was excellent though throughout the Retreat. Fr. Redden’s morning talk, entitled ‘‘The College Man and His: Faith’’, emphasized that in today’s troubled world there is a great lack of adherence to the Ten Commandments and Fr. Redden stated, ‘‘There is no need yet for red mar- tyrs who die for the Faith but keeping all Ten Com- mandments’’ CHARITY AND SEX NEXT TOPICS The subject of the after- noon sermon of the Oblate of Mary Immaculate priest was ‘‘The College Humorist VS: Gharicey. 2 Here Fr. Redden went into the future and declared that when looking back on college days, the greatest tribute that can be paid to a man will be the compliment that he never said an unkind word about another. Thursday evening the stu- dent body again filled Austin Hall to consider the fourth topic covered during the Retreat, ‘‘Attitude Towards Sex’. In’his de- livery, the Retreat Master colorfully named the people Continued on page 3 PAGE 2 Charity And You The virtue of Charity commands us to love our neighbor as ourselves. This is a big order indeed! Have you ever paused long enough to consider just how much a man loves himself? It is through this self-love that we provide ourselves with a norm for our love of the next fellow - every fellow - every living human being as well as the angels and saints in heaven and the suffering souls in Purgatory. Admittedly, self-love to us does not seem a very desirable quality. When we say ‘‘ he sure loves himself” we generally do not mean it as a compliment. The more normal course is not to love ourselves very much. Who else is more familiar with a man’s weaknesses and faults and secret failures than that man himself. Thus, prac- tically speaking, we don’t like ourselves very much. But there is one thing none of us can escape: We de- sire our own best good. We never cease to strive for improvement, forgiving every wrongdoing so very simply, so easily. Yes, it is easy to forgive one’s own self. Here then, is the norm whereby we regard our neighbor. We don’t have to like all his qualities; it is impossible to like his defects and, often, very difficult to like some people at all. But we are bound to desire their best good - which is the same as ours for we are all united under Almighty God in the common bond of creation and divine parentage. How can any man claim to love God and at the same time exclude from his love any creature whom God loves, for whom He died on the Cross? Absurd, isn’t it? Ridiculously so. It is not enough to brush aside the vastness of the great virtue of Charity by saying ‘“‘ O.K. I love them all and hope they get to heaven. ’’ We must help people attain the ‘‘ best good ”’ that we desire for them. The southern white, enmeshed in a web of twisted tradition, provides a vivid example of this loose interpretation of our obligation in Charity. He is sitting on a bus, for instance, and a colored person sits down beside him. Haughtily he rises and moves to another seat. Doés this inconsiderate act, help that Negro to realize his dignity as a child of God, to become more aware of the common heritage of ALL men? More concretely, there are students on every campus who are handicapped by a lack of intellectual ability. They get by, but just barely. And there are those other students who can’t wait to announce the high grade of each exam, feeling with false pride their superiority. They are the ones who mimic the fellow with a speech impediment. They are the ones who blame a low grade on the incompetence of the teacher. They are the ones who do not realize the tremendous value of Charity. By Divine Charity we love ourselves and our neighbor, not necessarily in a sentimental way, but in a much higher way. We must desire for our neighbor, as well as ourselves, the greatest of graces - union with God. And we must show this desire externally. Actually, Charity is so great that nothing else is necessary. It contains all the other virtues which are, in turn, contained in Charity. It fulfills the entire moral law and is the yardstick of our spiritual perfection. MICHAELMAN FEBRUARY I1, | SSN , aS — Rise up and be glad, my children. Cast away the chains, burn the hair-lined shirts, wipe the blood from your battered knees--Retreat is behind us, and the promised? day has arrived -- Winter Carnival is here. The one remaining act of penance expected of us is to spend the rest of this evening listening to H. Bredenberg and his mournful five...And you youngsters visiting the Hilltop? this festive weekend - be not chagrined. It is rumored that tomorrow night a group is hired which reads music and everything. Well, after all, Hank just wanted to see how we would. like: his brand of noise, and now that he knows he can sell his bone and go back to collecting stamps for his kicks. It’s good to see ol’ J.C. Taylor at the keys, though isn’t it? 4 There have been undertones of dissention heard in the Frosh dorms. Seems that many of Terry O’Grady’s con- stituents are wondering where the two milks and more phones went which formed such a prominent part of Terry’s campaign last Fall. Unless they procure the services of recently retired Soph hoop coach, Jack Coffee, it looks as though the Junior squad might go undefeated. Someone should warn visiting coaches that Paul (Tiger) Palmer not only is an ex-marine, but also a frequent occupant of the school’s weight room. It's beén said that physical combat with Paul closely approaches sui-~ cide. If anyone thinks this column has a split personality, 4 it is only because it has.

Bert probably thought that 94 Main St. had turned into a monastery. The brews disappeared as religiously as ever. | Even Miami U. couldn’t boast of a mid-semester vacation without the exams. These resort schools are on the ball. Why can’t we conform to the two semester system? It. makes for more beach parties, come spring time. Did anyone see Bob Lovejoy’s girl at the Polio bene- fit game between the frosh of U.V.M. and S.M.C.? There is nothing wrong with co-education. The extra Mass on Sunday was a terrific idea. Now, more students can come in late to more Masses. There is a rumor that a couple of Michaelmen hana devised a system for cut-rate taxi fares. It shoae that our boys are always trying to get ahead. Father Boucher will probably be interested to sic that the golf courses are less crowded this time of year. ‘ Will somebody please claim the handy six-pack on the: window sill of St. Martha’s Convent. 3 = > FEBRUARY I1, 1956 , NECCS’ers Discuss Problem Concerning Negro Catholic o A group of 40 enthusiastic students from St. Michael’s and Trinity College attempted last Sunday to answer the question: ‘* Why are so few Negroes Catholic? ’’ The discussion group was led by Bill Volante, a Holy Cross senior, who is Regional Chairman of the Interracial | Justice Commission of the NFCCS. » Frosh Dance Great Success * “‘ Freshman Frolic, *’ first frosh dance of the season did big business January 21 in ustin Hall.

After almost an hour of discussion jn this manner, each group reported its conclusions, Concerning the individual Negro four general reasons for his lack of participa- tion in the Church were given. Limited opportuni- ties, economically, educa- tionally, socially and po- litically were stated as one possible’ answer. Church policy, which has histo- rically been mainly con- cerned with the white po- pulation was suggested as a second reason for the low percentage of Negro Catho- lics. A third reason given was the fear on the part of the individual to identify himself with a second mino- rity group. A fourth , sugges- tion was that traditional ties with Protestantism has kept the Negro from becoming Catholic. A second area discussed was the part played by the Catholic in restraining the the Negro from entering the > oning. Church.

In the discussions that followed Leavitt’s speech, Paul Kane asked Leavitt if such a series would be of universal interest to St. Michael’s students. He answered that most col- leges and universities in New England have such lec- tures and that our student body should not be so very different from other schools in the New England area. He went on to say that in some thirty colleges both larger and smaller than St. Michael’s they have an Javerage of one prominent the television set and the (L), who headed the Weekend general chairman used in the sponsorship of the Junior weekend in May.

Bill Kuchar and Drew Den- mead were the big point war- riors as they collected 22 and 24 points respectively with their deadly jump shots. The Vermont team kept the game in close contention until the injured Bernie Cieplicki came off the bench to quarterback the Hilltoppers to a faster scoring pace with which the Catamounts were unable tocope. Cieplicki entered the game when both teams were deadlocked 17-17 mid-way through the first period; from there the Knights collected 29 fast points giving’ them a 46-28 advantage at half-time. During this spree Wegrzynski pleased the crowd with some nice hand- offs, while he ruled the boards as if he owned them: CATS SLOW DOWN BARRAGE At the start of the second half the Catamounts abandoned their unsuccessful man-to-man defense and played a 2-2 zone with Bob Lovejoy covering Kuchar in an attempt to stymie the Knights scoring punch. This defensive maneuver gave Den- mead daylight and he obliged the opposition with 12 points, while his teammates Tom Lemon- owicz and John Wegrzynski also found the range and hit with two-pointers consistantly. Bill Mann was the top-scorer for UVM with 15 followed by Bob Lovejoy and Capt. Bill King with 11 a-piece. PACE SLOW IN SECOND HALF Followers of the Purple and Gold have seen their team play a much: better brand of basket- ball than they did Saturday evening. They were slow -get- ting started and the last half of the second period was marred by loose ball handling and slack defensive play. The game did prove that St. Mi- chael’s has good scorers with Kuchar heading the list, that they have a smooth working offense, that ‘* Big John ” Wegrzynski can grab those re- bounds, and that they need their playmaker Capt. Bernie Cieplicki to be real effective. ST. MICHAEL’S F. G. F.P.

Creighton, constantly getting posses- sion, was deadly and they took the lead with 2:28 to go on a field goal by Lyle O’Dell and two free-throws by Dan Simon. They were ahead 69-66 and were never caught. LEMANOWICZ GETS KEY REBOUND With less than a minute to play Tommy Lemanowicz scored on a layup and was fouled but failed to tie the score. John Maher of Creighton was fouled and made one and one. Kuchar made two from the charity stripe but Don Brummer did likewise and they led 73-70 .

Cool Drew came into his own against cross- river rival Vermont. In that 81-63 waltz, Drew threw in an impressive 24, and chances are’ good that he will main- tain the pace.

Cieplicki Sproke two ribs in a scramble for a loose ball in the opening minutes of play, and was ex- pected, to be out of the Sketball wars for one or two weeks, Tom Lemanowicz with 23 points was the leading scorer for the Knights for the second traight game.

Bob Caprio was the stand- out performer for the third year men as he collected 17 of his 19 points in the second half. George Smith had 13 markers for the evening and Bill Noonanh played a bang-up floor game for the winners. It was a close contest until the final moments when the Juniors came from behind and clinched the victory on a jump shot by Caprio. This was by far the best played game of the season. The Senior’s were led by Bill Leuchten who had 22 points for his nights work. Again he was a strong re- bounder for the losers, Ray Garland and Jack Lennon did yeo-man work with 11 and 10 points respectively. On Monday the Frosh de- feated the Seniors, 53-50, in an other league contest. What Hank Gretkowskj has against his opponents iS a a mystery to the fans. Gret- kowski has only played in two games this season and he has scored 30 and 28 points and oi twedoesn’ telook a's though he’s going to let up. His 28 against the Seniors was the decisive factor in the Frosh victory as his other teammates were only able to salvage 25 points in a combined effort. Ray Garland had 18 for the losers while center Bill Leuchten with 15 was the only other Senior to hit -in double figures. The Seniors were in the game right up to the last few minutes. However, when Frank Keane had to be help ed off the floor with a sprained ankle, the Seniors lost a vital: cog, and they were unable to catch up to the Frosh. sional Championship Meet held at Lyndonville, Vermont. Skiing against M.I.T., Yale, the University of Mass., the University of Maine, Bowdoin and Colby, the Michaelmen rode their hickorys toa final team score of 509.82 points, edging the University of Mass. out of the third slot by 4 points. CHAPDELAINE AND AUSTIN SHINE Rog Chapdelaine and Larry Austin, both members of the Junior Class, slid over a grueling six-mile cross-country course, to come in 5th and 6th respectively. Roger Ri- vard and Ray Flynn came in close behind, thus boasting St. Mike’s to a fourth place. RIVARD SHINES IN DOWNHILL- SLALOM Sophomore, Roger’ Rivard, sped down a tricky mile and a quarter downhill run, to take sixth place. Followed by Frank Moriarty, Chapdelaine and Austin helped set the Mi- chaelmen out in front. rRivard also notched seventh place in a fast slalom run, once again followed closely by Moriarty, Chapdelaine and Austin.

Jumping on Lyndonville’s 40-meter jump, Rivard, Moriarty, Chapde- laine and Austin combined their efforts to place the team in third slot, bowing only to M.I.T. and Yale, who took first and second in that order.
