Editorial
NAZ: AN "A" IN APATHY
We accepted "the system" when we accepted institution­alized
education. "The system" is books and classes and
papers and exams and- that horrible word-methods, to
which we have committed ourselves and to which we owe
concentrated attention and interest. The question is: who­ever
••equired this attention and interest to be monomani­acal?
It isn't the arm-ehair educators. and it oughtn't to be
the system or tho students . . .
How many or your friends "really wanted to see the play
(or movie, or concert) but had too much studying to catch
up on"; or "would like ot help with the Red C1·oss Rally, but
there's this paper due next week . . . ": or "don't have
time" to find out what's behind their roommate's tears and
troubled looks? And how many of the decisions made are
honest ones? This editorial is a series of questions for a good
reason. Actually, the turnouts for va1·ious events are prob­ably
no wo•·t~C thio yen•· than they htwc bccn- l>ut there are
more of us to not turn out. The vague but pe•·meating
"apathy" ha~ probably no stronger an odor than in previous
yeats. But walking through the halls, the lounges, the dorms.
the smokers, the libraries-one encounters mostly giddiness,
or depression- somehow. that "special spirit" which so im­p.-.
essed the ?.fiddle States, has dissipated. And It is sad.
We write in questions because we cannot pretend to an­swers.
Obviously, we cannot shuck the whole academic busi­ness
and fashion our own ·'educative" plan :-we chose to be
here and must therefore consider it to be of some value.
And we kind of limit ourselves by keeping our eyes on notes­and-
text level, and refusing opportunities that will neve•·
arise again. The ideal situation, of course, is to be able to do
both fully: and, like all ideal situations, all but a few students
never get into one. So, we either fall back on the old "all or
nothing" academic scheme, or try to somehow strike a bal­ance,
a balance which cannot paradoxically. be a compromise.
There's a world out there that we've someday got to work
in and that means a diploma (or two. or three ... ). At the
same time. ii we chain ourselves to a atring of A's now,
we'll never see half of the beauties and honors and pains and
birthdays of that wor ld. That magic balance must not only
be made between economic and cu ltu re nnd between honor
and satisfaction. It's a real struggle for self-knowledge and
growth.

One's Mouth
Once again this year the Halloween skits were delive E
unto us, and it certainly may be said t)lat they may ea 11
have had a direct effect on everybody's liver. ln the b "'
sense of the word, the humour displayed in the producti
could be related to the medieval humours of black bile, ye :
bile, blood and phlegm. This is not the only liver connect" b
In plain language the skits could certainly have driven m u
people to drink. And no small wonder when you stop
think of the Frosh as 'hot' in their extremely gTOSS skit,
Juniors as fcold' in their pseudo-sophisticated endeavor, 11
Sophs as 'moist' in an in-between stsge, and the whole und
taking as rather fruitless, as in 'dry'. This time around r.
Halloween skits seemed to have lost something with a
exception of the Senior presentation which was enjoyable
The one bright spot or the skits was the reassurance t
anyone who finds himself a college drop out with a smu
or sophisticated mind may be sure to find a profession
skit writing.
Every year it seems that we try to get away with m
and more, and every year we attack the same things. Si
the things that we attack haven't changed, perhaps
should assume that the skits aren' t the proper time or pl
for our sour remarks and observations. As we can see, P
Nazareth image which we Quite evidently and religiou r
abhor is still upon us, and St. John Fisher, the butt of m P
sick humor, has not been blown off the map but is still a
proximately a mile down the road from us. Perhaps th b
things are not going to change.
We really managed to degrade ourselves this year.
Halloween skits a1·e another tradition which need examini s
We might just as well have a list of our complaints as o
presentation of them and the same purpose would t.
achieved except that several 'uninvolved' students who
cided to go to the skits for the fun of it would be saved ~
embarrassment of admitting membe•·ship to the 'class' wh · 11
presented the skit. ~
This is probably bringing to mind the argument that th 10
is very little co-operation in the planning and presents · s
of the skits. It would seem that most classes suffered un I•
this handicap. Many people, the editors of this paper Sl
eluded, find it difficult to sympathize. The midst of o
semesters is not exactly the best time· to make mer1·y a b
spend time writing and fighting with a group of fell f·
classmates who are all equally put out with each othe ~

It seems that in previous years there was jesting in g P
fun, promotion of spirit, and skits with dramatic as well s
social, or anti-social action. Somehow this has evolved · d
a big bash of spiteful sentiments presented to the facul t
and dignitaries of the school. ~
Perhaps the skits should be discontinued- for the sake 0
mid-semester grades, promotion of class spirit, the presen n
tion of the memory of 'good' skits of the past, and the e'

which were contested by no
one. These elections resulted
in the establishment of a co­alition
led by Ho Chi Minh.
However the French soon re­invaded
the country, abol­ished
the native government,
and ruled the nation through
their colonial government.
Ho Chi Minh then organized
the revolutionary force
known as the Viet Minh in
order to overthrow the
French colonial regime. ln
this period, Ho Chi ltfinh re­peatedly
requested aid of
President Truman and was
repeatedly rebuffed. Presi­dent
Eisenhower gave aid to
the French forces in the later
stag-es of the revolution. It
may be inferred with some
confidence that Ho Chi
Minh's acceptance of Chinese
aid, his espousal of Com­munism,
and distrust of the
United States are somewhat
a result of the influence of
these events. ln spite of our
unify the country under its
own government.
At this time Ngo Diem
was invited to leave a Ro­man
Catholic seminary in the
United States and control a
Saigon government. The in­vitation
was issued by the
State Department and his
title was destowed oy the
Emperor of his country.
Upon gaining power, Diem
renounced the Geneva Ac­cords
and refused to hold the
agreed-upon elections. Next,
a policy of repression of dis­ident
political elements was
instituted by Diem. General
Eisenhower, then President,
noted that if the elections
had been held, the majority
of the South Vietnamese
would have freely voted for
the Viet Minh. This is also
noted in the State Depart­ment
White Paper of Octo­ber
1961. The opposition of
the peope to Diem grew and
in 1960, the opposition co­alesced
into the National
Liberation Front.
The HLF Moves
The leaders of the NLF­all
South Vietnamese -
moved to the safety of North
Vietnam to direct the opera­tions
of their military arm,
the Viet Cong. Since that
time their strength has
grown to such proportions
that massive United States
aid in men and materials has
been necessary to prevent
them from overwhelming the
forces of the Saigon govern­ment.
This war would not
have reached such alanning
proportions if the insurgency
did not have grass--roots sup­port.
Furthermore this
blood shed would have been
unnecessary if the United
States-backed Diem had al­lowed
the agreed-upon elec.
tions or if we had not intro­duced
our own soldiers, also
in violation of the Geneva
Accords. Then too, is it not
ridiculous to speak of "inva­sion
f•·om the North" when
in fact the "invaders" are
natives. Certainly our own
troops are not natives. And
as noted earlier, the North
Vietnamese presence is the
more recent.
At the time of his death,
President Kennedy knew
that the settlement of the
war in Vietnam must be
made by the people of Viet­nam
themselves. We had
only 7,000 men in Vietnam
and he ordered 2,000 of these
to retum home. Kennedy
understood the sweep of his­tory
and the nature of revo­lutions.
To this he stated,
"Most revolutions- includ­ing
own- have been bouyed
by outside aid in men, weap­ons,
and ideas". Thus he
saw that we could not con­tinue
our aid beyond a cer­tain
point-that point being
when the outsider begins to
bear the brunt of the fight.
ing on either side. The
South Vietnamese are not
conscious of ideologies, and
thus are not locked in an
ideolog-ical st1·uggle, as is the
United States. They are
conscious of a corrupt gov­ernment
and officialdom, of
hug-e taxes imposed by a.b­sentee
landlord$, and huge
numbers of foreigners kill­ing
their countrymen for a
despised govemment. To
destroy these innocent peo­.,:~,
:-nin. their economy and
devastate thetr ~i!Ja~tes in
promotion of our id-eoiogy
tiona. It remains to be seen
whether or not our leaders
and the American people
have yet reached the emo­tional
and intellectual ma­turity
necessary to admit
that we are in grievous error.
It must be noted that Presi­dent
Kennedy, after the Bay
of Pig-s, showed this matur­ity.
It is now a matter of
history that this act is now
part of the legend surround­ing
this great man. Mr.
Johnson, a little man, under­estimates
the character of
the American people in mat­ters
of this nature. In the
words of U Thant, "I am
sure that the great Amer­ican
people, if only they knew
the true facts, and the back­ground
to the developments
in South Vietnam, would
ag1-ee with me that further
bloodshed is unnecessary".
Again and again it is
stated that the war is unfor­tunate
but necessary to save
the people of South Vietnam
from tyranny and terror.
Obviously this noble aspira­tion
is lost on those who have
died and those who wilt die
in the future. Admittedly,
the Communists are not par­agons
of democratic virtues.
But then is life under a re­gime
like those of Spain,
South Africa, Portugal, 01·
Uruguay any brighter than
in North Vietnam? From all
reporta, the answer is no.
Then too, as Senator Young
pointed out, the CIA hirAA

Viet Cong and carry out acts

nam. In the Mm·ch l 4, 1966
issue of Newsweek, Special
Forces officers are quoted as
stating that there at-e ten

is defenseless. Most certain­ly
it is doing little to win the
allegiance of these people.
This is a sketch of the de­velopment
of the situation.
It puts "our side" in a rather
bad light, whatever our mo­tives
may be, no matter how
honorable our ultimate inten-innocent
civilians. All these
are not considered acts o:f
terrorism. Certainly it takes
some mental gymnastics to
come to the conclusion that
the Viet Cong are brutal and
we are not. As reported in

Selma ···A Love Story,
Continues from Summer
Part II
We saw segregation not
only in housing and employ­ment,
but in every phase of
life in Selma. Although the
entertainment facilities in
Selma are pitifully limited,
those that do exist are most
definitely effected by policies
of segregation. Only two
restaurants in town cater to
Negro customers, yet even in
these, a Negro person does
not always feel at ease. In
both o! Selma's movie thea­ters,
Negro patrons may use
only the balcony. On the one
occasion when we asked a
few of the Negro student
nurses from the hospital to
be our guests at the movies,

deepened to a great extent
were these girls able to admit
it was a fear of repercus­sions,
of unfavorable reac­tions

had kept them !rom the

we realize then, that exactly
one year earlier, a white

By Julienne Emprlc
The Devil's Advocate by Morris West has enjoyed po!)­ularity
as one of the best ftction pieces of the last few years.
If "ftction" refers to a literary product of the imagination,
did Mr. West truly succeed in combining the best in im­agination
with the best in literary production? It seems not.
The plot ot the drama is melo­dramatic:
\l.n unfulfilled English
pr·Jest dying of cancer, Js sent to
a poor South American village in
search o( lntormatJon nbout Paolo
SanduuJ, a s-upposed martyr and
saint. ln the course of hls errand,
the priest encounters the othe.r
characters-a r-lch widow, also a
dope·addlct and would-be lover of
the ''i&int": her triend, a homo ..
sexual artist. the commonlaw wile
of Paolo; the ob$tinatf! son ot that
union, who is sinlully Involved
with the a rtist: the vilhage priest.
Uvlng with a woman and a bottle:
D and an embittered, alcoholic: doc·
tor. in love with Paolo's wiCe. The
c: story is ot aU these Uves lnt-rieately
v and mysteriously entwining with
1 one another and with the life of
1 Paulo Sanduni. The climax is the
h prie$1-'s sacrifice of his life for the
b soul of the boy. M a Bgure of
lB salvation., however, he res.cues not
m only the young Paolo. but aU the

*' The story ls f iction. and, truly.
Morris West gives en ~~gh evidence
of imagination. The question Is.
how far can one tree imasination
c in a Utera.ry production go without
1r dest:roylng the work 3S good
literature? The emphasis here
should fall on ·•tr~··. not on "how
' 1 far'', tor it seems, in recalling
:. Swlh and others. that imagination
e~m be stretched to any lengths..
u provided that il Is always subor·
.c din ated to control. West has the
1 fmaglnat1on., u.ndeniably. but has he
the eontrol ne<:essary to barneS$
that lmag{natJon into successful
literature?
lt i.s evident that West used
much Imaginative energy l_n weav ..
ing the intricacies ot his plot.
These intricacies. however, trapped
him in a web from which he: could
r not escape and s·tlll malntMn any
artistlc integrity. He neatly, but
unrealistically, tied almos-t every
lose end in the story to the priest.
the central character and device~
the one thing left hanking was the
main issue of lhe novel: Paolo's
sainthood. This question wa.s ob·
Kured by a rival issue: was tho
Engllsh J)riest a saJnt?
West seemed to have clear con·
eeptions of his characters. but he
:o lost control ot his char-actt'rlza.
tJon.s as weU as ot the plot. ln
their excesses. the ebaract-ers be·
come not more human, but more
unreal, and their incredibility in·
creases as the formerly hermitic:al
priest indentiftes with and pro·
toundly lnOuC:n«S the characters.
Lack of control. therefore, see.m.s
to be consistent.
West even exploited the best or
his Ideas. A salvation motif, for
example, was extremely effective
because ot its use in one striking
JCene in which the ar-tist paints:
the young Paolo's naked body on
t cross. West heightened the
drama by emphasizing the malice
oC the artist. the ter-ror of the boy,
J nd the st.a_rkn ess of the words:
'"That's how they killed my
tat h <' r J" Unfortunately. West
sq_uandercd the thtme. The dying
J)rlest drags himself ln.to a garden
in the mtddJe or a Slormy night,
and, before his act of seli· sacriflce,
Une$: his body up in a cross forma­tion
against a tree. The eft'ect ls
maudlin.
It seems, therefore, that West
frust rates bls potential by relaxing
the reins or his control: he sacri·

An interesting perform·
ance of The Marriage, a lit­tle-
known and seldom per­formed
play by the Russian
dramatist Nikolai G o g o I ,
was given on Friday. Satur·
day, and Sunday, November
11, 12, and 13, as the first
major production of the year
by the Nazareth-St. J o h n
Fisher Drama Club.
The farce, under the direc·
tion of Joseph Baranowski,
is the story of Podkolyossin,
a bachelor, lured into the
house of the prospective
bride by a zealous matchmak·
er. There he · finds three
other anxious bachelors seek­ing
Miss Agafya's hand .
When, ultimately, Miss Agaf·
ya's other suitors are dis·
missed, leaving Podkolyossin
as her choice, he suddenly
finds the prospect of mar­riage
very unattractive. Find­ing
both exits blocked, he
has no alternative to a quick,
but jolting. exit from the
window.
Tom Dawber as Podkolos·
sin played the lead. He gave
an extremely funny charac­terization
but one t h a t
seemed too childish for his
ernment. Sue Gackenheimer
gave an adequate perform·
ance in the role of Miss
Agafya.
In the supporting cast
there were many outstand·
ing performances. Joat:~na
Moore played a very funny
and extremely well charac­terized
matchmaker, Madame
Fyokla. H e r counterpart,
Kotchkarev, matchmaker for
Podkolyossin w a s played
well by Paul Ryan. In the
roles of the potential hus·
bands were Greg Houston as
Mr. Omelet, Wayne OeCesar
as Mr. Anutchkin, and Bob
Shea as Mr. Zevatkin. Their
performances w e r e very
good and probably the high·
light of the play. Arina, Miss
Agafya's aunt, was played by
Julie Empric, and the serv­ants
Stephan and Dunyashka
were played by Karl Dash
and Bonnie Hoag respective­ly.
Lovely sets were designed
by Maria Santiago. Costumes
were under the direction of
Jane Garvin, and lighting
was done by Ed Cavalier and
Maggie Grady. Stage mana­ger
for the production was
Ray Carpenter.

6, 1965, most of the villagers
needing h"eatment after
raids are women. This war,
it must be concluded. will be
won at the price of the lives
of most of the population of
the country and Americans
will be responsible for the
taking of those lives. War
inevitably brings govern­ment
propaganda to bear on
these isues, but the facts
speak for themselves often
telling a quite differellt
story.
It is also stated that the
war will be over soon. Sup.
posedly the tide of war has
turned. One year ago the
American people were told
this and today government
leaders admit that the Viet
Cong nearly achieved victory
a year ago. The statements
of our leaders in these mat­ters
appear to be quite in­consis~
ent. President John­son
campaigned in 1964 on a
non-escalation platform. He
castigated his opponent for
suggesting that many more
troops should be introduced
and that the North should
be bombed. Johnson stated
that the native population
must fight this war. Today
our army is alone in the
field. This is indicative or
Johnson's honesty.
This conflict will continue
indefinitely. There is no mil­itary
solution to a guerilla
war with popular support.
"Kill" ngures of 800 to 1,000
per week are insignificant
when such figures include the
civilians as previously noted.
Our generals ha ••e gone on
1·ecord stating that the Viet
Cong can sustain such fig­ures
for an indefinite period.
As ~nator Kennedy noted,
solution of this war can only
be of 11 political nature.
There are those who state
that the war is being waged
on illegitimate grounds. but
we must continue until the
enemy agrees to negotiate.
The events reported in the
New Yol'k Times of March
9, 1965, Look Magazine of
November 26, 1965, and
other sources document the
fact that both the Viet Cong
and the North Vi etnamese
are willing to discuss the set­tlement
of the conflict on any
terms with no prior condi­tions
necessary. It would
seem that reluctance to dis­cuss
the situation is found in
the Johnson Administration,
in spite of public statements
to the contrary.
The propaganda goes even
farther afield with charges
that the Communist CMnese
must be shown firmness.
There are no Chl.nese troops
anywhere in Vietnam except
those from Talwan fighting
for the United States. Tal­wan
is controlled by an un­democratic
regime supported
by large amounts of United
States ald. Ho Chi Minh has
repeatedly rejected Red Chi·
nese offers of "volunteers".
Being an extreme national­ist,
Ho Chi Minh is fearful
of Chinese influence in his
nation. It cannot be predict­ed
that Ho Chi Minh will
continue to turn down these

himself warned of the use­fulness
and Colly of Aisan
land wars in his 1964 cam·

soldiers are no longer fight­ing
the war with United

demoralization they no long­er

Student Council Looks Toward
More and Faster Communication
The major goal which the 1966-67 Student Council has
set this year is one of improved communication with the
student body nnd the faculty. In order to nchieve this, Stu­dent
Council, under First Vise-President Marty Strode! who
is in charge of communications, is encouraging the use of the
main bulletin boards for any publicity and information. All
faculty and student organizations are encouraged to use this
specified area so that students, by consulting the bulletin
boards daily, wil be fully informed about campus and city
events. In order to obtain the desired efficiency posters and
notices which are illegally placed will be removed.
Another a ttempt to Improve
<:!Om.mun.lcatlon with the ltud~ls
wUl be: the Grievance Days which
Coundl PruJdeot Joan Mascaro

Communist, non-Communist,
or coalition. The recent-elec­tions
in South Vietnam offer
no hope. Anti.-govemment
candidates were not allowed
to part icipate and those pro­Viet
Cong portions of the
country were denied the
vote. Coercion of the voters
was mainly on the part of
the government.
The S<H:alled "domino the­ory"
that all of Southeast
Asia will fall under Commu-
_, nist influence if we allow
Vietnam to fall is not held
by any prominent polit ical
scientist. The meeting of the
needs and aspirations of the
people is the criteria by
which revolutionary potential
is determined.
Will bombing of North
Vietnam slow the flow of
goods or men to South Viet­nam?
Mr. McNamara has
stated that this has not alter­ed
the flow. Our saturation
bombing of Gemu1ny and
Japan desh·oyed entire cities
and killed hundred of thou­sands
of civilians, yet war
production in these countries
at the time of their capitula­tion
was at record high lev­els.
Will the bombing bring
the other side to the confer­ence
table? The Blitz of Lon­don
se1·ved admirably to
harden the wills of the Brit­ish
in their most difficult
hour of the war. Overwhelm­ing
military success in the
field ends most wars. This is
patently impossible in a guer­illa
war. Senator Fulbright
in the New York Times of
March 4, 1966 states that
total victory is the aim of
President Johnson. One John­son
aide reported to the New
York Times Magazine of
February 2, 1966 that 'the
President might have a
speech on Vietnam and say,
"Jack, put some more peace
in it".' This then is the tone
and style of our leadership.
The situation within our
country is such now that the
columnists speak of a"cred­ibility
gap" with respect to
the public acceptance of
Johnson's utterances. Within

value. The university men

era left Johnson long ago. A
significant increase in the in­tensity
and scope of the "pol­itics
of despair", as exam­ined
by Cantril, is an ex­tremely
significant event.
The futu re influence of this
is n matter open to specula­tion.
The need for change is be­yond
doubt. The electorate
must make its dissatisfaction
known by vote and by letter.
That young adults must
speak out is imperative. The
young, not the old, must
shape the futur e. In the past
is a world of self-in.llicted
horror. We only gained a
glimpse of a bright future
when !or a few brief mo­ments
"the torch was passed
to a new generation" with
a totally different sort of
ledersltip. If our present lead­ership
has shortcomings,
such must be made known to
them by the source of their
authority - the people. To
neglect this is to reject those
responsibilities of the citizen
in a democratic state.

Academic Changes:
Philosophy Dep'tment
Academie freedom is a popular issue on eampus.. It is
discussed in almost any group of students sitting in the
smokers, and written a bout in almost every issue of the
sehool newspaper. Just as there is controversy as to exactly
what aeademie freedom consists of, there is controversy as
to existence, or lack, on this campus. The purpose of this
column is to define the aeademie ehanges that have already
been made, the projections for the future, and the alms mo­tivating
these changes in various departments. Sometimes
t his column will consist of an interview with several mem·
bers of a particular department, as was the article on the
Theology department in the last issue, sometimes it will
consist of an article written by one member of the depart­ment.
This article is the latter, an article by Sister Jane on
the philosophy department.
Dedi Bryfonsld
The philosophy department has a philosophy! That may
sound obvious but it's not really, because it's possible for
philosophers to take the position that truth is relative, that
all the philosopher does is ask questions, that no answers are
possible. The NCR philosophy department has a philosophy,
but it's a fluid one: the departmental instructors, doubled in
number this year, are all basically realists, but they agree
that a philosopher can only know a fraction of the real­that
any man can only know n fraction, that different times
present different aspects of the real more clearly than others,
that error dogs man and part of the "human truth" is to
be subject to making mental mistakes, and not knowing it.
So the philosophy department at NCR this year as in the
past takes itself to be in via, in passage, struggling along
after the truth, not having it neatly tied up at all.
