U lng principle behind plans for

"make next year the best year
possible. r want to show the tal·
entl of the girls not only to the
clus but to the entire college."
'Ibe thought has been expressed
that there is mueb latent talent
in the present Junior class. M ari·

Marilyn has been active in col·

Lit Garrity will be busy next
year pursuing the "golden aims"
of the Junior Class as its Presi·
dent. Uz, a Spanish major, has
served her class this year as Stu·
dent Council rep. She bas also
been active as Secretary of Las
Qutxo~scas. Her international
spirit bas led to activity in the
Red Cross programs whieb fa·

erlcau and foreign students.
Uz !eels that '68 bas good class
spirit and sees their forthcoming
roles as Big Sisters increasing
that spirit. She was very pleased
with the idea of more academic
orientation for the Class of 1970.
Mixing and meeting on an intel·
lectual level is as import.nnt as
on a social level. Liz would like
to see an abundance of the types
ol procrams that have been pre·
sented on campus in the past few
weeks next year to facilitate the
wldeninc ol the scope of the aca·
demic community.
When questioned about the aims
of Freshman Orientation in gen·

Taylor Caldwell's " Ustener"
seems to be the prototype for
the new president o! the class
of '69, Linda Nieknish.
Her role IS 01the ear,. began
before she entered Naz.areth,
when in hlgb school she partiei·
paled audibly and voeally on her
student council, the Utica area
inter-school eouncU, her high
school paper, and as secretary of
her honor society.
Nominated for president of her
class for '66 to '67, Linda con·
dueled her campaign on the prin·
ciple of " being there and listen·
bl&". She set out, accordingly,
to meet as many or her class­mates
as poss ible, and to con·
vinee them, not to vote lor her,
but to recognhe ber sincere in·
teres! In and desire !or the posi·
Uon. "This way. n Linda says, "l
did not run the risk ot being dis·
appointed, !or eveo if 1 had not
won, I had made a number of
new frlend.s." ·
Her role as preside.nt, Linda
feels, is to be much the same as
her role as nominee. She intends
to listen to what the class wants
done, both through casual con·
versaUon, and through the class
council instituted by Ellen Boyle

Year of ChanCJe
This bas been a year of change. From ev­ery
corner of the campus, from almost every
student and faculty member, there bas been
some statement concerning the questions
being raised.
Just what has happened this year? Just
what has been accomplished? We have no
complete answers-we ore still too close to
the experienc-t>ut the Gleoner, IS every·
•one, feels the effects of this yeor.
There have been conversations. They be­gan
as "underground mumblings," grew to
spontaneous sessions and evolved into a
communication between students and be·
tween students and faculty.
Faculty members have become aware of
student opinions. Administration members
have listened to student opinions on every·
thing from class schedules to rules In the
dormitory. Both groups have become aware
that the students are interestect, In many
cases vitally interested, In their life here
at Nazareth.
On the student's part, there has been a
realization of the complexity of the working
of a community such as Nazareth. Anyone
who has seriously discussed Nazareth and
the student situation here has been affected
by the complications involved in the
changes that seemed to be so simple during
an informal discussion.
There is still a certain amount of un·
rest within the college. We feel that th.is is
probably a good thing. It demonstrates that
the administration is not alone in its inter­est
in the college. From the unrest of this
year and of following years perhaps stu·
dents and faculty will contimle to communi·
cate as they have this year. If this is done
the Nazareth woman can only be a more
mature one and the Nazareth community
a more effective one.
Gleaner ••• A Voice
"To ten the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, to tell flat truth flatly
and dull truth dully ... " Peguy's statement
of editorial purpose voices the fine ideal or
organic and technical objectivity and inte­p-
ation in journalism. A less aesthetic, and
m some areas a more ruthless, application
(t.han Peguy's) or the ideal Is both possible
and necessary in the Gleaner.
The scope of the newspaper is deter·
mined by the scope of the campus, and U
we continue to restrict our interests to up­coming
events and sentimentallzed recapi·
tulations, we may expect that those inter·
esls will be Gleaner's focus for the coming
year. Gleaner's policy of organic concord
will necessitate, in accordance with these
interests, six pages of reporting " Aat truth
Oatly and dull truth dully." 1 refuse to $ive
this dull monolith, il such it is, a bnght
surfacing through the Gleaner- it will in·
stead, reflect the dullness. • '
Fortunately, the smoll core of interested
&tudents is growing, ond their interests
reach to the vital issues on our own cam·
pus, on other campuses, and to the vital
ossues of the world. There will, I hope be
no need for a dull newspaper. Faculty-stu·
dent interests have become leu separate,
and more openly (and more heotedlyl) dis·
cussed in the past year. Individuals are be­coming
more outspoken and more search·
ing in t heir questions. Gleaner is a news
sheet, and Gleaner is a voice. It Is, more
GLEANER
importantly, on orgon of communication
through which the importont issues and
their adherents moy become known to non­but
potential, porticiponts. '
Issues, organicism, and good journalism­this
will be the emphasis of Gleaner '66-'67.

Editor 1966-67
Consider • • •
This speech was dellvered by Sue Lenkie­wicz
at the Sophomore Class Meeting dur·
ing her carnpaign for Student Council Rep·
resentalive. The Gleaner feels that the ideas
expressed in the speech should be made
known to the entire College community.
Editor's Note
My main reason for running is that I feel
that a few things should be said that other·
wise might not be said.
First of all, it would be extremely diffi.
cult to imagine anyone here as unaware of
the growing indifference to student coun·
cil; witness 1.) the dwindling percentages
of students voting on major issues and for
major offices 2.) candidates for three major
offices running unopposed, and 3.) only
three candidates in this election interested
i~ two Student Council representative posi­tions.
Something is amiss, but I'm convinced
that student government is deliberately kept
at a low level of perception and participa­tion.
The scourge or effective student gov·
trnment is a reluctance to break the tacit
time-honored code of " If it's not nice don't
say it," or "It's something everyone 'knows
about but no one talks about." Consequent­ly,
election campaigns are reduced to glor­ious
litanies or "Let us cooper:lle: let us
unlfy; let ys communicate." These are hol­low,
empty words that mean nothing to me.
They serve only to camouRage the real is­sues
and thump out stirring renditions of
"You tell me your dream. I'll tell you mine."
I'd like to consider this point for a mo·
ment. The machinery of student govern·
ment would come to a complete standstill
if it bad to refer every proposal to the st u·
dent body. A representative is elected with
the understanding that the more significant
issues will be submitted to a referendum
and that she will exercise her better judg·
ment regarding other issues.
But, what do you know about a candi·
date's better judgment or how she will vote
in forthcoming issues from a campaign with
no differences of opinion? Or what value
is a saccharine speech as a substitute for a
clear state_ment or. policy? Euphonic phrases
tha_t pronuse utopta seem to be the sole cri­tenon
of a candidate's worth.
. What I'd like to do Is dispense with this
ptous concern over things that I'm not con­cerned
with, and give you some idea or
what I think is important and to what ends
I pledge my time and energy.
Nazareth is, first and foremost, a col.lege
and Student Council must energetically
stress the value or scholarly pursuits (Bon·
ors Convocation is not enough). Not that it
must try to promote some sort of rarefied
intellectual atmosphere to the exclusion of
all else, but that it should be a vital force
in establishing and maintaining a "climate
for learning." With this in mind, It would
seem that the problem or noise in the li­brary
ranks equal lime with the problem of
the p~king lot, and that the possibility of
extendmg hbrary hours or encouraging
student-led seminars and discussions is as
important as aporoprialing funds or joint
meetings with SJFC.
A representative, in my opinion, has to
be more than a relayer of messages and
council must do more than propose legis·
lation not in conflict with school policy. Our
Student Council must seek ways of extend­ing
the Je.1rning process beyond the formal
class structure, by investigating new ideas
and experimenting with new ways of solv·
ing problems (intellectual. aesthetic, and
social). Council must nurture the seeds of
cre.ltivity, defend inquiry. criticism, explo­ration
and activity and above all be able to
take responsible action.
It is with these firm convictions and with
the assurance that never for the "sake of
ences or beliefs, that I ask for your vote
peace and quiet" wUI I deny my experi·
for Junior Student Connell representative.

Nazareth Students Speak,
Discuss Ideas on ColleCJe
The opinions gathered in this article were expressed in question
nnires distributed to various students. We feel that Nazareth student
are interested in the college and are attempting to offer suggestiOn!
in areas pertinent to their Uvcs here. £dlto1'1
From all prognosis, lho 1900·67
sebool year should prove lo be a
year of questionina. evaluation,
and action in, on. and around the
Nazareth campus. We venture to
submit the followin1 11 repruent­ath
·e of the thinldnc and querie.s
of Nazareth studeniJ interested
enough to wonder about lht.lr col·
lege. 1ts curriculum. Its p4!'0ple.
One of the most diJc\ISsed
areas of eoncem l.s library hours.
Why un'l It possible to hove the
library open 10 10:30 or u :00
p.m. on weekdays, 11 nlghl on
Fridays? Believe il or not some
do study for a few hours a(ter
dinner on Friday nights before
relaxing. Sundays nrc usually re ..
served (or better resorted to) for
studying - doesn't 11:00 a.m. to
II :00 p.m. sound like II would In·
elude just about an)'One's 5tudy
hourS! •
Is there an extra room or two
in the new aru ctntu which
could replace the extnmely un­appealinll
day-hop smokers and
ca.feteria as a place to cathe.r and
relax?
SpeaklnJ of smokers - what
about an outdoor smoku for tbe
warm months! Not onJy would
t hi.s be a more pleaunt satmoJ·
phere, but lhe eommuttr·resident
rebtions would btconlt a Jot
closer.
Need the English Literature
course be condensed Into one
year? Only a few students derive
any good or general enJoyment
out of it due to the speed and lack
of depth. A survey course it is.
but it doesn't t\'tn skim the sur·
face well. It's the proverbial
sophomore •'eram course." Could
we extend the seope of the course
10 two years of Nortoo's Anthol·
OllY with other relevant, bul pr ...
eotly ineompleted or unincluded
mate.rials?
Thi$ suuestion is followed by
the question as to why :a Dante
course (which Is non·lra.nslerable
to New York State collercs. by
the wa,y) is required in p~ler·
enee to another more general
lreshman course. Shouldn't a
study ol Dante and his Divine
Corned.)' be an upper diviJion
English re<luirement or elective?
True, a good number ol Nazareth
students liked Donie: but thlnk
how much larger a scope could
hl\'e bee. covered In that one
semester. A more Rt-nenl eourse
seems more useful to a liberal
arts or science major who is not
in Eng IIJh.
Wby aren•t e~omle:s and p.sy·
ebology majors oll'eredf This Is a
liberal arts collece in cooperatioo
with another arts college, Is it
not?
Tbere should be more seminar
groups-at least one for each sub·
ject 110 the tntertsled students
can satisfy their extra curiosity.
Another thine- some girls think
that there ore not enough elec·
tives in certain major fields or
concentration from whleh t;
choose.
And about choosing eleetlves­lhe
teacher's name as well as :
course explanaUon mlCbl well be

This encourages the faculty to
Improve the quality of the course
and their approach 10 the subject
maUer. II is also suggested that
first and second choice be grant·
ed aceordinJ: to previous marks.
Slnee we get oul so early, un't
we somehow seb~ule at lust
two study days before final ex·
ams!
Jt's a pity that Nazareth seems
WJaware of the lecturers. forums.

dar to each student and provl·

larger names drawn -by llrltr
colleges?
At present, il Is very dill'leult
for an arts major to elect Anato·
my and Physiology Instead of
GMcral Biology 101-IOZ as their
,s;cienee requirement. Many stu·
dents deem it much more pertl·
nent, interesting and useful; after
all it's all lfboul us.
Could we somehow get a Fresh·
man theology course more appU·
eable lo lbe studenu! The very
imPOrtant relevancy of the His·
tory of Salvation In lhe Old IDd
New Testament could sUII be
gained with less detail In ooe •
mesler's work. The second se­mester

eonlronted with society a course
in comparative religions of the
world.
How does the Blue Danube held
off campus and/or incorporated
into Winter Weekend strike you!

&lr. Joyce feel$ that the pit­falls
of the small Catholic col·

tbt similar background of the

ai!Uiated colleges in eoolusing

3) Smaller variety of choice in
courses or study are offered in
smaller colleges.
The big university, statu Mr.
Joyce, eliminates these small­college
problems but in so doing
creates others:

by a large automated OJl<'ration

'Control' Sums Up
Student Production
"The Foreed Marriage," a
one-act play by Moliere was pre·
sented by the Nazareth-Fisher
Drama Club Tuesday, May 3 in
the Nazareth auditorium. Direct­ed
by Dan Wissman, a Senior at
St. John Fisher College, Moll~re·s
t:omedy wa.s seen as it is tra·
ditlonal presented - with high
voiced railJery and exaggeration.
Bill Galkee's performance as
Sgnaralle, a middle-aged aristo­crat,
was eomlc and mocklng.
His per{ormanc::e re.mainec:J con·
stanUy levtl th"'ugbout the en·
lire play. Tom Leary. as the
Aristotelian Philosopher, exhibi­ted
what ean be done through the
use of gesture and extremes in
votce. Tom Hughes, as the
doubter, Wlderplayed his "'le to
such a degree that it became
rather lost after the rantings or
Mr. Leary. The effect, in a very
quiet way, was hu.morous.
Exauerated fem.iiUnity w a s
seen in all the men through elab­orate
gestures and excellent cos­tuming.
This tended to detract
from the graciousness of Dorl­mene,
played by Diane DeMay.
This eoutd have been remedied,
perhaps, if Miss DeMay had
been more graceful in her role
as the fickle IIane~.
The lightinc and sets p"'vided
a plain yet unreal baekl"'und
for an unreal situation. This em·
pbaslt-ed the mockery of the
aristocracy whkh Moli~re had
intended. On the whole, the pro­duction
was a successful and en·
terta[ning one. It adopted a style
which it consistently maintained.

he a fine teacher, but inexperi­ence
and pressure from his own
studies may detract greaUy from
his work.
3) A permiulve moral altitude
may he detrimental to the stu­dent's
c.haratter and standards.
"Arty" oddballs, uninformed po­litical
extremists (not thoose who
intclligenUy and sincerely otTer
protest). and the free thinkers
who insist on sexual freedom tor
everyone, often influence the
youthful student who perhaps has
not had enough oppOrtunity or
exJl<'rlence to judge these mat­ters
for himself.
4) The high . pressured aca­demic
school, for the prestlae of
its name and its teachers, often
sacrifices the stability and self·
confidence of its studenls. The
New York Times &laguine sec­tion,
~lay 1, 196$, eonsid•n this
P"'blem at both high school and
college levels.
The faults of a large school
versus those of a small one sug­gest
that each has its problems,
but eac.h, on the other band, has
obvious positive values: the uni·
verslty can otTer its students
wide facilities, varied courses
and, frequently, prestige faculty;
the small collece can lend each
student a sense of individual lm·
portance in community life, and
personal contact with the faculty.
When asked for his opinions
on the Ideal colleg-e, Mr. Joyce
said that such an institution, pt:r·
feel !or everyone, does not exist.
A student must decide for him­self
on the atmosphere in which
he will obtain his education and
adjust to its pOsith·e and ncga­tlve
values. A lood college. he
fet1s, "provides an academic
and social community which
stresses pOsitlve values; allows
the student frcedont of intellect­ual
inquiry and disc:u.ssjoo: pro·
motes growth through the agency
of a professional open-minded,
qualified staff which is avnitable
on an inlormal bosis for student
diseuss.ion (as weU as seminar
and classroom bastS).
On the part of the student body,
there should exi.st a sense of
pride in the school. prompted by
its intellectual vigor. "The end
result of the ' Ideal' school is
crowlh of the individual and •
desire for committment to some·
thing upOn graduation."
When asked to give-his views
on Naurelh, Mr. Joyce was ex­plicit:
"I have foWid at Nua·
reth stimulating colleagues and
a desire on the part of many
students for intellectual g-rowth
and dash- not mere comprehen­sion
of classroom ideas, but a
sincere quest for wisdom. There
is a vigorous desire on the part
of the admillistrat.ion to provide
excellence. In short, f find it a
fine 1matl liberal arts college. I
would like lo see among more
of the students fa desire to ques­tion,
