This was un­ acceptable to the NFCCS Campus Board. In a special student assembly on Friday, November 1 9, Tom Fowler announced to a shocked Siena student body that all pro­ posed actions in protest against the silencing of Father Bonaventure O'Brien, OFM, had been canceled. The statement followed an address to the students by Father Brian Duffy, OFM, President of Siena College, and a statement by Jim Barba, Vice-President of the Student Senate.

Names will be withheld upon request of the individual. No letter ought NOTHING exceed five hundred words or two typewritten pages. The editor reserves the right to edit all letters. 'Whatever happened to the college student who swallowed a goldfish a generation ago? Nothing. He graduated and settled very securely into a pleasant job somewhere and has been nothing ever since.' This is the same predicament of the eager marchers who wanted to carry signs, sing, and get headlines. They too will graduate and be nothing. But where are they now? Where are all those cheering, applauding masses when there is real work to be done and not just one day's e^^ercise v/it'i their feet? They have sulked off and said that if they cannot protest, why do any­ thing. As a result, the fact is that there has been no significant increase in the number of individuals involved in the various social action projects. The temper of the last two weeks has been that of "severe disappointment. " Granted that we all are disappointed, but it is certainly wrong to let that disappointment affect what should be our natural concern and interest toward Christian commitment. We must simply work on. We are not saying that as individuals we should blandly accept any statements or actions ar:l forget our social endeavors. But it is stating that -we ought not as indi­ viduals acquiese and abandon our Christian commitments be­ cause of frustrating experience and unpopular pronouncenments. The .Senate's decision of two weeks ago to end protests was unpopular. But we believe it was well founded. We may not all agree with it, but we ought to respect them for making it. The Senate is after all the representatives of the students—the stu­ dents whom their fellow students have franchised to serve and act for them—responsibly. Flowever, we must again emphasize that by curtailing protests the Senate did not say it was prohibiting the primary cause of social action. If the actions of this entire affair are to mean any­ thing for the future, it must be that of expressing our concern and commitment to the people of the South End. It must not be confused with the supposed martyring of a few personalities and the deflation of all our egos. There is a tremendous difference between protest and con­ structive work. One calls for emotionalism and temporary pub­ licity, and the latter demands taxing our already overworked patience and bodies even further. Wehave already proven ourselves to be more prudent and responsible than others in our actions. But to this Editor, it seems that we must further demonstrate our maturity and simply work. Rather than picking up signs and shouting "In­ justice," now is the time to pick up shovels and quietly dig. Let us be realists! This is not a popular opinion, but it is facing the situation squarely. Nothing more can be gained by continuing to act as if we have been daily outraged. Now is the time 'to bore from within' and change this situation by the slow and resolute process of attrition. This is one occa­ sion in which we must achieve by working quietly from within. By working in such a way united, those individuals tending the sails and manning the helm will not realize that "their" ship has changed course and is sailing by new winds with a new crew.

Joe Muldoon has not, to this time, more than half way through the first semester, con­ sidered the problem of the Jerome Dawson Memorial Library. It is becom­ ing painfully obvious that a problem does exist. (Cont. from Page 4) WHO'S WHO In the area of facilities, we at Siena are indeed fortunate. Considering the size of the school, the library budget and the availability of additional revenues, our library is rather good. It is larger than that of comparable institutions, subscribes to more periodicals and has at least as many if not more reference works. The fact that there are some shortages cannot be overlooked however. In spite of the fact that they are taught in class, men such as Cox, Bonhoeffer and Kung do not have a single work listed in the card catalog. The only non-Catholic newspapers subscribed to are the New York Times (a standard), the Wall Street Journal (for busy men), theNational Observer (a publication of Dow Jones and Co.) and Die Zelt (a German language newspaper). Things aren't much better among the Catholic periodicals either. While admitedly the National Catholic Reporter is carrier, at the same time we find that there are four other journals (the Register, the Tablet, the Wan­ derer, and the Evangelist) trumpeting the same, old tired viewpoint that we as a school are attempting to correct. There is also the question of a several hundred dollar record collection that has been in the library since at least August and has not yet appeared on the shelves. The hours are another question however, and it is of them, that I would now like to speak. The building is scheduled to close at 10:30 p.m. which to the staff seems to mean 10:15..

Friday, December 3, 1965 THE INDIAN Page 5 New Retreat Elicits Varied Reactions Retreat Termed a Successful Experiment By MARTY MONAHAN How do you criticize and evaluate this year's retreat from other retreats here at Siena when you're only an amateur? From what I have heard and read, Siena's retreats were typical of hell- fire, brimstone, and "repent all ye damned." Not to say that this kind of retreat isn't helpful, but this isn't the sixteenth century "assimilated to Christ"—and that the him an integral part of America.
