Prelude to Marcel:
Mar. 9 Coffee Hour
The Mar. 9 coffee hour wlll be
Ptesented in anticipation of the
vi.sit of French philosopher, Gab·
riel Marcel. Drama Club stu·
dents, under the direction of Mr.
Baranowski, will do dramatic
readings from Marcel's plays and
other works. The meeting will
convene at 4;30 in the day·hop
social room.
The purpose of the hour is to
make Marcel and his thought
more real, more present, to the
student& and faculty. The method
of presentation will be creative
rather than objective and ana·
lytle. This seems to be in keeping
with Marcel's thoughts on valid
approaches to tbe probing of tbe
mysteries of human life. It will
be a subjective. sensing experi·
ence.
All are invited to "participate''
on Tuesday, Mar. 9. The expe·
rience promises to be most in·
formative and entertaining.
Gabriel Marcel. noted French
philosopher and dramatist, will
visit Nazareth on Monday and
Tuesday. Mar. 22, 23, to lecture
and to meet with students. Tht
lecture. Wisdom in the Age of
Technology. to be delivered

treat man's role in a modern
world departmentalized due to
the machine.

"agrege'' in philosophy in 1910 .
He then became professor of phil·
osophy, first in Vendome, then in
Sans. In 1922. be left the teaching
profes.sion and devoted himself
to publishing, writing for L'Eur·
ope NouYtlle, La Nouvelle Revue
Francaise, and Nouvelles Litter·
alres. He bas been director of
dramatic critid.sm of the latter
since 1945. Since 1927. he has
directed the foreign literature
series of the Pion Publishers,
Feux Croises.
M a reel has been the "eciplent
of the Grand Pri.te of Literature
of the Freneh Academy (1949)
and the National Grand Prize of
Letters (1955). He was elected n
m~,?mber of th~ A~ad~m}' of
Moral and Political Sciences in
1952 and holds the rank of offi·
cer in the Legion d'Honneur. He
has lectured on the theatre and
philosophy in Western Europe,
Japan. Canada. South America.
and the United States.
After probing the problem of
the meaning of life and the world,
Marcel converted to Catholicism
at the ag·e of 40. In accordance
with his philosophy, he seeks to
establish deep human relation·
ships with people.
Marcel's philosophic works ln·
elude Metaphysical Journal, Be·
lng and IJavlng, Creative Fldel·
ity, Homo Viator and the Mys·
tery of B-eing. His major dra·
mati.c works include A Man of
God, The Funeral Pyre, Ariadne,
The Greedy Hearts. and The Sign
of the Cross.
Gabriel Marcel, who opposes
Sartre•s atheistic existentialism,
Gabriel Marcel
is considered to be tbe prineipal
representative of Christian exis·
tentialism in France today. He
rejects this label. however, pre·

These are the words of one of
these marginal men- Father Rol· ·

EDITORIAL. Letters to the Editor
ViEWPOI~lS
A 9ualified .. Yes ..
The knotty problem of election of editors has been ban­died
about for the past few months, by students, editors, and
student council. Gleaner editorially rejected the present sys.
tern (Nov. 24) as being "clearly inadequate." While everyone
agrees on the need for a change, there is little consensus on
the way it should be made.
ln ,our Nov. 24 editorial, we asked this question: "While
serving the entire school, the publications are in many r~
spects closed organizations, on the order of clubs, in that
their staffs are made up of a relatively small percentage of
the student body. Js the entire student body, therefore, quali­fied
to nominate and elect editors?"
The answer would seem to be no. A candidate for edi·
torship needs a certain amount of technical skill in addition
to the other qualities which make her officer material. Those
most familiar with the duties of an editor-i.e. the editors
themselves-would be able to choose the most eompetent.
On the other side of the picture is the need for popular
support. To assemble a student publication requires a lot of
plain hard work, often at an inconvenient time or of a routine
natltre. The editor relies heavily on her staff. It is good for
her, psychologically, to know that her selection by popular
vote means that she has this backing.
But who should vote? Currently, editors are selected in
class elections. As our statement above pointed out, puhli·
cations, while serving the whole school, are, to a certain ex­tent,
closed organizations. Should editors be picked in a
major campaign and school-wide election?
On the basis of this discussion, Gleaner must grant quali·
fled approval to the proposed amendment. It attempts to
provide a better method of selection than is now In effect.
The editors on the committee will be able to evaluate the
candidates' qualiflcations. The claos presidents, it is hoped,
will be able to gauge their student support. This amend.
ment is the best way to solve .:a problem for which thef"'e is
no clear solution. Gleaner urges you to vote yes.
South Wind: A Need Is Met
An intelligent criticism. free from cliches, pat answers.
and trite phrases, has been a crying need in drama circles.
The Feb. issue of South Wind gives all the signs of fulfilling
this need.
South Wind pulls no punches. The statements presented
are the combined thoughts of competent people. totally in.
volved in their discussions. They are theater people-student
actors, directors, backstage crews--seeking to evaluate per·
formances in terms of basic dramatic values.
Their opinions are valid and meaningful. One finds that
his vague feeU.ngs or his discomforts about the productions
have been accuratelY stated and crystallized. He comes away
with a clearer understanding and appreciation of drama.
South Wind in its "search for standards to enrich the dra­matic
experience" serves well the performing arts. Gleaner
looks forward to more of the same.
Review
Parking Lot Problems
Dea.r Editor,
Now that evaluation is over and
we may once more give our full
attention to everyday matters,
may I suggest that someone in·
vest In a quantity of salt lor the
parking lot and driveways.
I have been told that when one
unsuspecting, eonseientious stu·
dent-driver slid past the turn in
the road and headed toward Me·
daille, she was warned that such
short cuts were not in keeping
with the policies of the college.
lnasmueh as we have spent cer·
tain funds for parking stickers,
could not these same funds be
used for our safe~driving· and ·
parking benefit?
U this is done I would gladly
give up my three credit course in
"The Superior Methods of Aiming
One's Automobile and Sliding in·
to a Parking Space'' in favor of a
more academic study.

'Raisin' Scores as Social Drama
Blacktriar's production. R.aisin
in the Sun, provided an evening
of en,joyable entertainment for
those who viewed it during the
weekend of Feb. 12·14. This par­ticular
play portrayed the Negro
as be is within his own society,
within his own family, and es·
pecially as be is within blmseli.
The Younger borne, a Southside
Chicago flat, provides the setting
for the play. This is an especially
appropriate setting, because with·
in the confines of his home, the
Negro can lay bare his feelings.
In this the characters of the play
do indulge.
The drama revolves about the
$10,000 that Lena Younger, the
matriarch of the family, inherits
from her late husband's insurance
policy. Eaeh member of the lam·
Uy wants the money used for dif·
ferent reasons - Beneatha, her
daughter, desires a medical
school educ.ation; Walter Lee,
Lena's son, wants desperately to
purehase a liquor store which
would indirectly and eventually,
be hopes, establish him as the
bead of the household. Amid the
confusion and controversy, Lena
leaves and does what she wants
-purehases a house so that her
grandson, Travis, can live in a
clean, healthy atmosphere. LitUe
does she realize the turmoil that
will arise because of this.
It Is here that the play really
becomes a social drama and it is
here that Walter Lee, especially.
undergoes a spiritual as well as a
social ordeal. The pressure which
Is ever-present upon the Negro Is
see:n as a pressing rorce upon the
llldividual Negro when Walter
Lee's peno11al dignity is af·
fronted. He UDderstancls the enor·
m1ty of the situation only when
he reaU.es that he alone mast
choose whether to remain Ill their
Southside Cblc.ago Sat, or whether
to move Into the all white neigh·
borbaod. He knows that be cau
eltbtr remain complacent or face
tile challenge to his own penonal
dignlty as weD as to the dignity of
his race. Here his COilvlctloos aDd
ldeu cease belog lateut aDd come
to the surface, ready to explode­rather
th.an dry up as a uralliD
In the SUD."
The theme of the play definitely
was a serious one. The treatment
of tb.is theme~ however, was done
in a Ught manner. This seemed
very appropriate. The audience
oould laugh together but still real·
ize the depth of the implications
involved. It also seems easier to
remember many of lhe ideas and
actions simply because it was
handled in such a light manner.
The audience seemed to be united
in thought and this too was due to
the way of presentation.
For any who have read James
Baldwin's The• Fire Next Time,
the parallelism between Baldwin's
conceptions of God and Walter
Lee's conception of God was very
much in evidence.
Raisin Ill the SUD was a good
play; it made people stop and
think and sUIJ provided enjoyable
entertainment, although the aet·
ing was perhaps not all that it
could have been.
P. C.
the parking tot sjtuation and the
topic will be discussed by Student
Council in Mareh. Any comments ­should
be directed toward her.
"Smoke-Filled Den"
To the Editor:
The smoker a.nd mission room
are, it one considers tbei.r treat·
me.nt, beyond improvement. Yet
the students who use these roams
ca.nnot be considered the only re·
sponsible parties. This past winter
the one fan has been froten shut;
at present, then, there is no ven·
tilation in either room. Much of
the "smoke·filled den" atmo·
sphere of these rooms might be
dissipated with the installation of
additional fans - so that there
would be at' least two in each
room. And when these rooms will
no longer be In use-after the
oonstruetion of the fine arts build·
ing and student center, etc.­these
fans could be put to use in
Lourdes Lower Lounge, where
ventilation is also. though not
quite so pressing, a problem.

necessary func tion. A music con·
vention does have many of these
characteristic qualities, but most
important, it is an interesting,
worthwhile, and inspiring expe·
rie.nce."
Pat and Caroline spent a busy
weekend at various activities
such as lectures on the lates-t mu·
sic education methods; demon·
'Legman For the College'
strations on voice training tech­niques
and on contcmparary mu·
sic: exhibits of lnst,ruments and

line were among lhe college stu·
dents who met with Richard Du·
Fallo. Assistant Conductor of the
Buffalo Philharmonic, (or a dis·
cussion of topics ranging (rom the
philharmonic's history to elec·
t:ronic music.
Other specific student functions

meeting, Pal Damlnski was elect·
ed Publicity Chairman for the

"It gives such a wonderful in·

about to enter by presenting new
teaching methods and by provfd·

NCR Welcomes Walter Tate
By Mary Margaret Snyder
Short, stocky, strong hands, a
mobile face, quiet assurance,
peaceful composure . . . "Tbis
is my ecumenical movement to
Nazareth, and I'm delighted with
it" .. . laclle capability, easy
contact with people. ..When I
visited the campus in '60. the stu·
dents were smiling and they're
still smiling."
Walter Tale, recenUy appoint­ed
assistant to Sisler Helen Dao·
iel, comes to NCR with a diver·
sjfied background. His experi·
ence ranges from assistant tO the
presidents of coUes-es aDd pri·
vate schools, to personnel chiel
for the C.I.A. In G<!rmany, to
professional fund. raJsing serv·
ices for schools and industry.
However. it is not the back­ground
but the ma.n who ls more
impressive.
Mr. Tate's lnter·est is reading
aDd the writing style. As profes·
sor of English for some years,
he has had contact with many
accomplished authors. He cites
Joseph Conrad, Evelyn Waugh,
VIrginia Woolf as his favorite
authors; though he enjoys J. D.
Salinger, Mr. Tate !eels that Sal·
Inger has published too lew
books to allow critical evaluation.
HimseU an author, Mr. Tate
bas a publi.shed novel dealing
with the difficulties of a veteran
returning to college; he also bas
seve-ral other novels. finished,
but as yet unpublished.
The a.ssistant to the president
has somewhat nebulous duties,
all of whleh are cbaracteri•ed as
"development." "I'm coins- to be
a kind of legman for the College"
is Mr. Tate's summation. He
feels that it is important to gel
to know the· alumnae as sources
of great Interest and capable ol
mueh non-monetary help to the
college.
Several minutes spent with Alr.
Walter Tate will convince any
student that the development of
NCR is in efficient aod loving
hands.

of campaigning. Thls year sev·

by the Election Committee.
Clearance and petitioning re­main
the same, but the freedom
of campaigning bas been in·
creased. Candidates may bang
posters In the stairwell$ and tun­nelJ,
and in the smokers and
powder room. Instead of lhe old
rullnc of ooe tuU-siu<l and two
smaller POSters, each c..andjdate
Is allowed the equivalent area of
three full-sized posters.
To aid In the new freedom,
the limit on expenses bas been
dropped. Eaeb candidate may
spend the nmount she chooses lo
stage her campaign.
Finally, II there is sufficient
response, lhe election committee
will co-sponsor with tbe candi·
Packet
tCo Ht iH~ttd from PQ!Jt ltn>l
year old male friend and shake
hands " Hello."
Another custom? There are
very few times when you just
say "Hello," or "Thank you,"
etc. You always add some sort
of title. like "Monsieur" or
" Mademoiselle," out of polite·
ness. Thts doesn't seem too dil·
ferent from home, if you thint
our .. Yes Ma'am:• or our depart·
me:nt atort, "Excuse me, Mi.u.''
hut whtn you translate it too
literally and come up with some­thing
like. "Good evening, Mis ­ter,"
you notice the dlfferenee.
If I were going to describe the
French ways of dressing, t
would hove to consider several
different ospects, but here I'll
just discuss one-that of shoes.
French girls wear heels a lot
during the day. They do wear
s:lac.ks and aren't al~A•ays dressed
up. of course. hut with skirts,
etc.. they often wear beeiJ. I'U
never understand bow they can
manage these heels on cobble·
stone. especially since I manage
to turn my ankle in stacked
heels. (! always knew Byron and
t hnd somelhi_ng in common­neither
ol us like walking on
cobblestones!)
Brlelcucs. with bandies lor
the most ptrt, are very c.ommon·
ly carried lor school here. by
both clrlJ and boys. Girls often
carry either the brief case or a
purse, rather than both.
The last thing I'd like to men­tion
Is the laet that the French
are much more frank about men·
tality, ambition. progress. etc .. In
their school aystem. In a class.
for example, marks are often
read aloud. and teachers don't
hesiute to talk about one stu·
dtnt's work, abillly, etc.
At first. lhue tittle customs
might seem to be interesting. but
not really important. The more
you think about it. though. the
more you re•llz.e that it is pre·
cisely thtse little details that give
countries their personalities-it's
these detoils that make France
" France," and America ''Amer·
lea ."
