Sollege students in New York dur-
ng the holidays.

The Student Relief Committee of

Debating Club ~
Planning Panel

Under the direction of Mr. Ed-
ward Murphy, the Debating club
had its) debut at the University of
Vermont Nov. 15th,

At this debate, 29 colleges along
the Atlantic seaboard gathered to
discuss the timely question, “Re-
solved that a Federal World Gov-
ernment Should be Established.”
This debate lasted for two days
during which time the teams spoke
both ‘pro and con,’ We won praise
but no prizes.

The debating teams consisted of:
George Constantine and Tim Evatt,
Ray Salmon and Dick Borden, Bob
Sauer and Bob Duffy, Tim Murphy
and James Collins.

‘Last year, the Debating club built

up a splendid reputation while vis-
iting Fordham, Rutgers, Holy Cross
St. Vincent’s and Brooklyn, Col-
lege. ; -
A “panel-discussion’ ‘on Federal
Government has been planned for
the benefit of the entire Student
Body and i: expected to be given
at the beginning of the new semes-
te-. This panel will be composed of
ali the members of the Debating
‘club and will be open for discussion
from the audience.

| Dr. Stoehr Enjoys

Reunion With Son

By Don O’Brien

Probably the most suurprised
man of the year was Dr. Stoehr
who, while recently in New York,*
met his son, Richard, whom he
thought was in Sweden,

The son arrived in New York
and immediately phoned the col-
lege. From his mother he learned
that the Doctor was in New York,
too. Hurrying to the address his
mother had given him, he walked
into a dramatic reunion just as a
string quartet was playing some of
his father’s new music.

This was the first time that Dr.
Stoehr had seen his son since 1938
when they both left Austria one
jump ahead of the Nazis, the fath-
er coming to America and the son
gcoing to Sweden. The son is now
visiting here.

The DePeter twins were baptized
December 28 in the College Chap-

Anthony and Thomas Anthony by
Rev. Augustine Berrell, S. S. E.

Young Edward had just return-

Junior Class
; Busy As Bees

By Francis McMahon

Prior to the Christmas holidays,
there was a meeting of the Junior
class in Austin Hall for the purpose
of discussing Junior Activities.

At this meeting, president, Jack
Cahill, related that the Junior
class had been asked to supplement
the activities of the week end of
May 8th which is reserved to the
Seniors. Most of the suggested
ideas were for a “formal dance”
although no definite conclusions
were reached.

A fact of paramount importance
to the Class was the subject of
“Class Rings.’ ’A committee con-
Sisting of Joe Hoffman, Bill Harte
and Joe Mountain was appointed
to obtain information on this sub-.
ject.

‘St. Patrick’s Night has been
chosen as the night to represent
the Junior class. Due to the numer-
ous suggestions made, however, the
night’s activities are still unsche-
duled.

The above mentioned facts plus
“year-book” acitvities will be dis-
cussed at the next meeting and it
is strongly urged that all juniors
ibe present.

Members of The Michaelmen staff have a warm spot in their

Through their good faith, The Michaelman has been able to keep

e kept faith with us despite the problems of having to print 45

THE MICHAELMAN ’

HILL-WIND

By Dick Jakobowski

Now that most of the students of
St. Mike’s have had time to ac-
quaint themselves with the state of
Vermont, I feel that they should
voice their likes about the Green
Mountain Staite.

Question: What do you
about the State of Vermont?
Frank Gokey, W. Springfield, Mass.

I like everything about it; the
tearful departure from Union Sta-
tion, the scenic milk train run with
its many stops, chugging over the

like

terrific 3 m. p. h, I like the cold
chills that run up and down my
spine when I step off the train at
Essex Junction.
Ed O’Day, Fair Haven, Vt.

You have not lived until you
have been in Ve:mont, the most
beautiful state in the Union

. Jack Burke, Troy, N, Y.

Since I like skiing and other
out door sports, I think that Ver-
mont offers more than enough facil-
ities to satisfy the desire of anyone
who wants skiing at its best, along
with other sports. I do not find the
people in Ve:mont as friendly as
those in my home stiaite. I think
Vermoni’s rigid code on amuse-
ment and entertainment is an in-
centive to study. This is not true
in larger states.

Joe Flynn, Bronx, N. Y¥.

Most of all I like Vermont’s green
mountains, If the people of Ver-
mont did away wiih their Blue
Law: and had more gay laws I
would like th®-stde"mueh better.

John Weinman, Hudson, N. Y.

Mostly, I like the covered bridges
and the old colonial churches. Its
Norman Rockwellness: natusal life
scenes and views of the independ-
dent people of Vermont, No matter
where you turn, your eye: meet a
scene that cen be easily painted,
and if I wee a painter, I could
better express the beauty of Ver-
mont. £
Sarge Salmofi Clintén, Mass.

While Vermont has progressed
rapidly in the past, it has retained
that warm, small town friendliness,
the typical New England Yankee
hospitality, all of which we find so
sadly lacking in many neighboring
states. The Vermonter is excellent
proof of the good clean healthy liv-
ing offered in Vermont.

Jack Higgins, Belmont, Mass,

I like the easily accesible -ski-
ing facilities, the beautiful scenery,
th pretiy Vermont women, the
rough, winding rivers, the majes-
tie mountain, the mirror like
lakes and above all, St. Michael’s
College; a great school.

Carl Zuchnieovich, Franklin, N. Y.

You really haven’t been to a
beautiful stale uniil you have been
to Vermont. Why? Just stand at
the base of Mt. Mansfield and you’ll
know what I mean.

Pete Biown, Great Neck, N. Y.

One of the nicest things I like
about Vermont is its people. My
roommate comes from Vermont.
Jim Horth, Pittsfield, Mass.

You can’t beat Vermoni’s beau- ,

tiful summers. It is a priceless
treasurer and must be seen to be
appreciated. Summer: in Vermont
surpa ses all other states in scenic
beauty Only an artist can describe
its beautiful sunsets.

Joe Meagher, Hoosick Falls, N. Y.

The bes tthink I like about Ver-
mont i: Lake Champlain, I have
never enjoyed fishing and swim?
ming and the beautiful scenery any
where as much as I have at this
impressive lake.

John Hennessey, Lynn, Mass,

What impressed me most is the
friendlinesg and sociability of the
people of Vernniont: They are kind
and always willing to help.

THE STORMING OF GREEN MOUNTAIN JUNIOR

The Outing Clubs expedition to Green Mountain Junior College
found the Michaelmen ereatly outnumbered, (about 6 to 1) but from
all reports, the campus was “secured’ ’within 15 minutes after the
time of arrival.

Jack Burke and Bill Acton spent a event deal of time in harmon-
izing, while Leo Denault sang a solo. Rumors circulated that Bill

rules and regulations have also
ged in’ many ways. There is
a ‘reaon for all this, undoubted-
ly. And, in the discussing the phil-
osophy or the raison detre of the
Office of the Dean of “Men, the rea-
som for the change may become ap-
parent also. Im comparing the
minimum ‘regulations which are
now in force at St. Michael's with
other Catholic institutions with
which the writer is acquainted, one
is forced to admit that St. Michael’s
is now perhaps the “laxest” col-
lege in the count y.

We are considering Catholic col-
leges, of cour e. We use the word
“lax” without any hesitation or
without any fear that anyone woul@
aecuse St. Michael’s of having lost
its standards,

_ Standardds High

Our standard: and ideals are still
as hign as they ever were and, as
far as we can judge, they are still
being achieved as much as they
were in the past. We might com-
pare the charges which are now in
operation at St. Michael’s to the
changes that come about in a good
Catholic family in the course of
two generations.

One generation lives different!v
from the othef. They are both good
The principles which they live are
‘both high and sincere; the goals
are still the same, but the modus

One ‘of the most common remarks which the alumni make when
return to St. Michael’s for a visit is “Gee, has this place

“Then the ygo on to reminisce about the St. Michael’s they knew

ment and the St. Michael’s with |

the large enrollment. Last Septem-
ber, Father Stankiwicz wa: given
a greater burden — that of being
Treasurer of St Michael’s College.
He has gone into redder pastures
- to use a very bad figure ‘fo speech.

Last September the present
writer, after he had returned from
a stay at the Catholic University of
America in Wa:hington, was put in
charge of the Office which was
made vacant by Father Stankie-
wiez’s elevation. Much of the regu-
lation and philosophy of the office,
therefore, has been ~- inherited. by
the present writer and not neces-
sarily started by him.

Personnel Structure.

The Office of the Dean of Men
is made uv of the Dean of Men and
ten asistants, his assistants are
commonly called directors. The
names of the rectors are as follows:
Fathers Boucher,
Maloney, Moriarty, Noel,
Poirier and Sullivan,
Charles Pfeifer.

Paulin,
and = Mr.

To each of the rectors there is
as igned a number of boys accord-
ing to the capacity of the hall of
which he is in charge. There are
about 500 students boarding and
rooming on the campus and about

250 students off the campus. Out of

the 250 students who live off the
campus, about 125 have been placed
in room. by the school, because
there were no more rooms avail-
able on the campus. :

The Dean of Men is directly in
charge of all students who are not
rocming on the campus.

Each rector hasa room in the hall
over which he has charge and the
boys are free to make use of hi:
assistance at any time. Each rector
is a competent counsellor and many
advantages acc:ue to the college
student in such a setup. Bach rec-
tor lives with his boys seven days
a week and in this way he gets bai
know them very well.

In former years because of the
searcity of priesis in the diocese
and the -neighboring churches it
was necessary for the priests to
leave the campus on the weekends
and go to assist nearby priests
However, now there is a sufficient
number of priests at the college
so that those in charge of hall: can
remain here during ihe week end.

The college is very grateful to
thoze who have taken on the ex-
‘ra job of bing rectors, because this
is a job which they hold over and
above «heir teaching jobs. Tt is ex-
tremely cifficult for them to be on
the job all day long, as they do,
and still prepare classes and teach
them. Not only that, but it is neces-
sary for them to stay up late at
right and-to get up for their own
duties very early in the morning.

Hence, being a rector is some-
‘hing over and above what the
priest is ordinarily called upon to
do here at St. Michael’s. These rec-
tors were free either to accept or
we refuse when ee were asked to

Distribution of Authority

One of.the change in the stu-
deni-staff relationship which has
been brought about this year “is
the fact that each rector is almost
completely in charge of the boys
within his jurisdiction. Formerly
the student would go to the Dean
of Men directly for special per-
missions such a= laie night out or
week ends, and so forth. But now
they go to their own -ector. This
system ha proven very satisfac-
tory for the students as well as
for the Dean of Men.

With so many students, it would
be almost impos ible for the Dean

of Men to interviw every siu-

dent and to grant him the permis-
sion. Since the rectors know these
studenis im thei jurisdiction bet-
ter than the Dan of Men does, they
can more readily ee the student’s
problem when he asks a special
permission, and they can, there-
fore, grant it or deny it more jusi-
ly. The -rectors, therefo e, are al-
most completely in charge of the
boys with whom they live. These
rectors meet about every week
with the Dean of Men and di ‘cuss
their problems, and also meet to
coordinate their activities.

These mejings ave a unifying
effect on all the permissions and
manners of hhandling a common
p ioblem. At these meeting: there
are also discussed ways and means
of being more serviceable to the
students and the methods of mak-
ing their college year: more satis-
factory. It is here, also, that the
records of an incorrigible student
would be discussed and his possi-
ble dismi:sal would be recom-
mended.

Reason and Regulation

It was at such meeting with the
Dean of Men and his staff that the
p esent rules were discussed and
put into effect. In formulating and
di cussing the rules, the staff was
motivated mostly by this thought:
What are the students here for?
What are they preparing to do?
How can we help the students who
come here lead a more satisfactory
college life and prepare for the fu-
ture?

After a lengthy discussion, it was
decided that we should let our
rules conform as closely as possi-
ble to the rules which the normal
Catholic lay per-on must observe in
his daily existence. Most of the stu-
dents who come to St. Michael’s
‘are preparing to lead the life of a
Catholic layman after they get out
of college, or after they get out of
g aduate school. The staff thought
that it would be helping the stu-
dents best for this life if it could
set up the proper reflexes here
om the campus so that the student
when he finished college could go
as normally as poszible into the
secular ife.

Normal Living

If the life demanded of the stu-
dent on th campus were entirely
different from the normla Catho-
lic life which a layman would lead
in the world, then the change
would be too great. In such a case,
psychologically, the student would
have to set in motion a new set of

reflexes once he had finished col- |

lege. Of course, the staff was cog-
nizant of the ee that it could not
do away enti y with the artifi-
we as setup,

From The Secretary’s Corner

Dear Alumnus:

At the start of another year, the President and Executive Boa
of the Alumni Association extend to you sincerest wishes for
blessed and happy New Year. To this Your Secretary adds a pe
sonal word of thanksgiving to all those who have made our fir
four months in office easier and more pleasant.

In reviewing those four months of service, we humbly acknow
edge a fair share of shortcomings. In most cases they are explain
by our lack of experience. Undoubtedly inexperience will contin

ever, that we have learned much: In'so far as we have failed a
can be expected to remedy the defects, we most certainly shall do s

To aid us of Alumni Office in this New Year’s resolution, we s
licit a greater measure of support from the membership. Quite pr
perly we have acknowledged above the generous services render
b ymany of the Alumni. Some have manifested genuine enthusias
for St, Michael’s — have made themselves constantly available
time of need — have not only personally supported our projects b
have solicited the support of others whenever possible — final
and of great importance, have kindly offered much constructive cr
ticism and many valuable suggestions. To them we again expres
our appreaciaucn.

Many others have contributed the minimum or nothing at all
the success of our Association, Whether this is owing ‘to careless
ness or to complete -disinterestedness is not known in most case!
We can only hope it is the first. In which case we hasten to offe
suggestions or, rather a series of New Year's resolutions.

Proposed Resolutions

I. To revivify the genuite Michaelman spirit by an active inte
est in-Alma Mater-— her tremendous growth — her great strides i
the scholastic field — the profound changes in her program of d
rection and self-training — and, finally, the evident leadership ¢
her undergraduates in ‘Student Movements. . Every A :
and should be proud of St. Michael’s accomplishments !

2. To pledge a fuller measure of support to the present project
of the Association —*specifically, the monthly ‘Michaelmen dues, th
business meetings of your Alumni Chaptér and the Alumni-Studer
Christmas and/or Easter entertainments.

Presently the Alumni support of the Michaelmen project — $1.c
a month dues—is disappointing.

At the Christmas dances in Boston, ertord! the Berkshires an
Springfield the Alumni were conspicuous by their absence. We-at
not attempting flattery when we say that the pendent body want
to meet you at these affairs.

3. To be a bit more news conscious! Be convinced t at we ai
interested in you. We want to kaow where you are and “hat yo
are doing. This monthly News is for all members. We are happ
to be informed and to pass on to others the news of our graduate
BUT WE ARF 7M -RASSED BY LACK OF INF ORMA

4. To maintain and extend our acquaintanceship on the Hillto}
Your Secretary considers himself a true friend of every Micha¢
man, A friendly letter from you is like a note from home. Keé

5. ‘To post the Alumni Office on every change of address — you
own or others. |

We just can’t be of full service to you w ithout it. Wou!d you co!

but, nevertheless, it would try to do

The student, therefore, was to be

for his own conduct himself. He
was to be a:sisted to understand
that it was his life he was leading
and for which he was preparing,
and that primarily his conduct was
his own responsibility. If the stu-

use the religious life of any hu-
in being is supremely import-

But is was to be primarily the
ident’s responsibility of making

e iaff was to do all in its pow-
to make the students appreci-
» the all important and the tre-
ndous value of daily Mass, Be-
nd that, it felt that‘ it could not
. Compulsory daily Mass would
too artificial. It is the cheerful
‘uniary attendance at daily Mass
iti most efficacious for any Ca-
»ic. The pastor of the parish, for
ance, cannot and does not make
ly Mass compulsory for his pa-
hioners, He accepts the challenge
i endeavors to educate his pa-
hionrs as to essentials and lasting
lue of daily Mass. Therefore, it is
educational process and not a
ralling,

From the number of those who

attend daily Mass voluntarily, we
can get a picture of the apprecia-
tion of the students of essential va-
lues. Compulsory daily Mas: at-
tendance would not be so reveal-
ing. It is for reasons such as these,
that St. Michael’s gave up requi--
ing that all students attend daily
Mass. Some have thought that the
compulsory daily Mass was done
away with because of the great in-
crease of students. « Although the
student: cannot be gathered to-
gether in the chapel at the same
time, the staff still could insist on
daily Mass attendance by arrang-
ing two separate hours, one for the
Freshmen and one for the Upper-
cla smn. So the lack of space, there-
fore, is not hte reason for the
changing of the requirement.

The same philosophy prompted
the making of night p ayers volun-
wary also. It must be mentioned,
however, that attendance at daily
Mass and night prayer under these
conditions has not been very large.
This fact reveals a ‘erious lack of
appreciation of essential values on
the part of many of the studenis,
‘All this is very revealing indeed.

The Office of the Dean of Men

There is such a distribution af
the work which formerly was done
only by the Dean of Men that it
might be asked, just. whai does the
Dean of Men do? Even under the
present distribution of functions,
the Dean of Men is still able to find
enough work to keep him busy the
customary 14 hours a day.

The w iter was e pecially anvr-
ious to get the discipline angle
formerly connected with the Dean
of Men’s office, out of his immedi-
ate jurisdiction. ~At present, the
rectors are the ones who exercise
that funciion, if they wish, with
ihe boys over whom they are in
charge. It wa: hoped that if the
“policeman” idea were takn out of
the Office of the Dean of Men, the
students would feel f eer to come
im and discuss whatever problems
are common to the students.

From the writer’s experience in:
the variou. counseling and: psychia-
trie clinic: in Washington, it be-
came evident that such endeavor
is more effective when the threat
of autho ity is not present. By dis-
tributing the functions of this office
2 was hoped that the authorita'iv-

‘vhreat” would be brought to an
absolute minimum. And so in the-
ory, at least, it has, But it is: inter-
esting to note how difficul it is to
make the students comprehend this
volution .

Many are gradually getting to
know the official stand gf ine O-
fice, but many of the students still
lock upon the office as the place of
la t resort, that is, a place where
you are sent just before you get
your “walking papers.” As far as
the writer is concerned, of course,
this is a false notion, but it may
take years before the present atti-
tude is understood by the students.

All in all, however, it must be
siated that the p-esent setup has
proven very interesting for all con-
cerned. From all reports, the stu-
cents seem to prefer to conduct
themselves conscious of the fact
that the college restrictions are at
a minimum and they, themselves,
are the ones who are primarily re-
ponsible before God for their own
conduct.

After all, isn’t that what God
asks of each of us anyway?

THE MICHAELMAN

The annual. Christmas dances

sponsored jointly by the Alumni
Chapter and the Student Campus
Clubs reached a new high this sea-
Son. Reporis from all centers indi-
cate that attendance among under-
‘graduate: was good, despite threat-
ening weather. A spirit of joy and
fellowship p evailed which bids
“fair to make St. Michael’s dances
the supreme event of the holiday
season in many cities.

One defect marred the otherwise
bright picture — the disappointing
attendance of the alumni. At no
one of the affairs was the nummber
of grads present anywhere nea!
what it could and should have
been. Once again we remind the
members of the necessiiy of their
support. Your presence help: us to
realize the purpose of such activi-
ties and gives a tone +o them that
may otherwise be lacking. We
hea tily encourage at this time your
generous Cooperaiion in the future.

The surpri_ing 25 inches of snow
which so paralyzed the Big-Ciiy fell

was maintained up to and through
the night of December 29. The

present at this pioneer undertaking
and was pleasantly surprised at the

Coach George “Doc” Jacobs who
before the war made a habit of
turning out undefeated freshmen
teams at Villanova has the makings
of another c ack frosh team in his
fir:t season at St. Michael’s.

His freshmen in their four regu-
lar games before the Chvistmas
holidays not only won, but ran
up a total of 273 points to the oppo-
sitions’ 109, One of those win was
a 101-10 victory over the Burling-
two wre over Rutland Junior Col-
ton Business College and the next
lge 68-24 and over Vermont Junior
College 52-27. Only the Middle-
bury College f-eshmen pushed the
Jacobs’ forces, the Michalemen win-
ning 52-48_

Jacobs served notice that he had
a fast club when the froh in an
exhibition game on President’s day
at St. Michael’s ran away with the
varsity, 61-42. That was the same
varsity team that, by virtue of its
56-40 win over Middlebury, is al-
ready being regarded as the proba-

Perhaps they still won’t reach that
goal, but they’er doing a good job
so far,
_ George (Doc) Jacobs walked into
a team that had managed an 11 to
§ record last yera with no better
than a .500 mark in ctate competi-
tion.The omly difference between
his material and that of the 1946-
47 season was that two players
who between them scored over 400
voints weer gone.

There is no no indication yet
that this year’s club will do any
more than was expected of them

when the team first started practice.

but two factors in the team’s play
that has kept them going at a .444
pace (as of Wednesday morning)
can both be credited to Jacobs’ di-

The most important of these fac-
tors lis the more closely-knit team
offen ive play. The Knights are
not only shaking loose for their
shots but ‘they’re making a good
percentage of them, because they
are helping each other.

The second is the psychological
attitude with which the majority
of the club enters each game. Un-
derdogs practically everytime they
take the court, the players con-

cede nothing, disregard their op-
go Dunkel rating and take
%, game as it comes.

xtent that i “will | do anything
Geactline age year, but team play
the right attitude will win plenty
of games for St. Michael’s in the
near futu e when the right com-
bination is lined up.

Jacobs has the nucleu: of’a great
team in his freshmen He needs a
6-foot-plus center and another big
man, but in Wart, Markey and
Walsh he has three ball players
better than any comparable trio
on any va sity in state competition
right now.

(Next year, the state title— if we
take it this year — will be baick
heré on he hilltop for the first time
since 1939-40. This is no idle state-
ment, for it doesn’t look like any-
thing can stop the Mikemen 12
months hence.

™n 1950 — well let’s leave it at
thet for now.

The long awaited clash betwen
the two undefeated teams of thi
Intramural League — Snior Hal
and St.-William’s Hall — came
reality last Tuesday, with the Se
nio s taking an overtime 27-23 vie
tory back across the road

Once again it was Dave Kearne,
and Bob Rounds who showed th
way for the Seniors, Dave connect

‘ing for the only two ba kets in th

overtime period to account for th
final ma~gin of victory. Joe But
kowski was the St. William’s offen
sive star while Jack Cronin stoo
out defensively for the losers.

Jerry Healy and Joe Bernard rat!
a pair of Harry Scully’s “Shitlle
leaghs” for the fine way in whic
they officiated the rough game, al
ways keeping it under control.

Although the game was not -
league tilt, it served as a fittin,
send-off to Kearney and Round:
who complete their senior worl
at the close of the semestr.
