All staff members, but one, pose for photog. That one is composing a science-fiction story for the iournal. MANHATTAN CDLLEGE SCIENTIST The Manhattan College Scientist is the newest of Man- hattan's student publications. It was established to fill a need long felt by the college administration and the students; a need to have the academic and laboratory research of science students published in a magazine dedicated to the pure sciences. The story of its founding is a long one. Many students in the past had tried to organize such a magazine but until this year ail attempts had been unsuccessful. In September of 1955 Dan Cohalan, a junior, unofficially took a student poll to determine the reaction to a science magazine. The idea was greeted with a great amount of enthusiasm and Dan began seeking a moderator and, together with Mike Marina, laying the ground work for the Scientist. Brother Adrian Joseph consented to take on the iob of moderator and immediately proposed the magazine to the College Administration. The College Council immediately appropriated a budget to cover the publication of two issues in 1955-56. Work was then begun in November to publish it as soon as possible. iMike Marino was appointed' the Editor-in-Chief for the first issue. Articles were secured from all the science clubs and a theme was decided upon. With the full cooperation of the moderators of the Physics, Math, Psychology, Chemistry and Biology Clubs, who acted as nihil obstats, the first issues dedicated to atomic energy, appeared in March. 1956. The second issue made its appearance in May. tit Dan Cohallan and Mike Marino The brains behind the production reiect another story with tireless vigor. argue over editorial policies.

n mu , at H M t The purpose of the Quarterly forum is to enable the members of the college to formulate as wide a cultural horizon as possible through this medium of expository presentation, coupled with audience participation through discussion. The chosen topics do not pretend to be all inclusive, but provoca- tive. Such topics as: Contemporary Art and Contemporary Poetry, The Problem of the Young Catholic Writer, Aca- demic Freedom and Literature and Art in a Totalitarian State excited interest and comment on the part of the attending members of the college. One of the truly educa- tional graces of the College is the discussion period of the forum in which ideas formulated during the lecture may be broadened and solidified. The Quarterly, always on the alert for the voice that wishes to be heard, maintains a lively communication with the Creative Writing Class. The Quarterly was co-edited by Ed Fetherston and Joe Horan in close association with its faculty advisor, Brother Celestine Eugene. The editors, together with the members of the staff, Ed Dixon, Jerold Kappes, Kevin Keefe, Robert Klocke, and John Nagle, worked together with one aim in mind: to attend carefully to what was submitted and to present to the student body what would entertain and delight them through the Quarterly. Come and get them! Edward Dixon pauses between articles. Print it. T53

robert de sorbon In the middle of the 13th century a man by the name of Robert de Sorbon provided a hall at Paris for sixteen students, from which comes the present Sorbonne, the oldest of residential colleges. Although there might be no actual basis in fact for the establishment of the connection between present day fraternities and this early foundation by Sorbon, some hold that perhaps this idea was the one in mind when the distinctly American creation of Greek letter societies had its beginning in the latter half of the 18th century in the United States. fraternities Symbolizing the typical idea of the college man to the general public, fraternities at the same time bring out the idea of brotherhood and friendship in a special way as something to be continued after graduation. While on the campus scene they contribute many a valuable service to both the student and the college alike, thereby participating us an integral part of college life. V MW
