Tentative Plan
Of Physical Ed
Sponsored By' '63
The Senior Class is planning
to sponsor a physical develop­ment
program for the univer­sity's
students.
The purpose of the program,
according to Senior Class presi­dent,
Frank Mastrapasqua, is to
"educate the physical aspect of
the university student in order
to fully round out the education
afforded him at Fairfield."
The course is aimed at those
who are not athletically in­clined.
That is, those students
who do not wish to participate
in any particular team sport,
and those who did not have the
opportunity to participate in or­ganized
sports previous to their
coming to Fairfield.
Each course will last about fifty
minutes and the amount of exer­cise
will depend on the candi­(

Last Friday afternoon' two Student Council representatives conducted a two-hour meeting
with Mr, Scalzi, the manager of Loyola cafeteria, in an attempt to settle what the student body
has labelled "the food situation." Using the tabulation of the questionnaires distributed earlier by
the Council as basis for student opinion, Mr. Scalzi, Patrick Hurley, '64, and James :pavidson, '64
agreed to definite alterations in the cafeteria menu.
In a discussion of breakfast meals, the proposal was made and accepted that another toaster
be installed 'either behind the counter or in the general eating area to facilitate service. The
rn:!W toaster would allow students more time to eat and facilitate their getting to first period
classe,s. "I envision no problem in getting the toaster," Mr. Scalzi said. The manager went on to
say that 'the possibility of ac- ~
quiring additional facilities for
making fried eggs in greater ¥ol­ume
is very good. This acquisi­tion
would allow the staff to

writing on a related subject. Some part of the course might be1-------------­given
to insights of particular men as they relate to philosophical
questions of today. Besides pointing out error, we would also bene­fit
in pointing out the good in other men's philosophies - indeed
we might learn something.
II. If we are to base our philosophy in the Thomistic-Aris­totelian
synthesis, let us not take it for granted as we might
pronouncements of the Ecumenical Councils and infallible state­ments
of the Popes. As members of a twentieth century culture
and being peculiarly pragmatic and (ideally at least) initially skep­tical;
we should not accept a statement merely because we are
told to or see this statement affirmed in a book - we should either
affirm its truth reasonably, or refrain from saying we believe in '
it.. If we are really to accept the Thomistic system and make it
part of our lives, it should be presented in a way that is defensive,
not dogmatic. Or perhaps we a:re not really sure that system can
hold its own before its objectors and those of a different view?
III. Instead of the often fruitless attempt to make our system
in itself relevant to today's problems, what about integration with
other academic subjects? Thus, we would be presented the syn­thesis
in straight thesis forin (memorizing it in an intellectual
manner, not, bowing to the pressures of testing, by rote) and use
this form, especially in such subjects as literature, economics, psy­chology,
theology, (possibly a specialized Ethics course for the
various professional fields). Or perhaps our system cannot be
applied this concretely?
IV. What about presenting reading of modern Catholic phi­~
0sophers? Such men as Maritain; Gilson, D'Arcy and Marli:elhave
a tremendous respect as philosophers. If we are given modern
Catholic thinkers, in criticism and history and theology, why not,
in philosophy?
V. There seems to be the mistaken notion present among us
that the only practical use of our philosophy-comes. in. ethics. In­tellectually
and humanly, this is a great ,mistake. If we cannot
adjust, rethink and rephrase our Epistemology, metaphysics and
psychology to a real confronting or today's questions' in those
areas, we may as well not bother., to take philosophy. An entire'
re-evaluation of the philosophy courses taken -at Catholic colleges
could be profitably undertaken. How do we measure up to the
intellectual challenges and ,trends in,today's United.statesJ If'we '

student investigation. If I don't have
that jurisdiction, I certainly would not
consider turning in a student whose
cheating might have been the product
of the proctors indifferent attitude in
regard to the supervising, which proc­tor
I would be unable to name.
But the problem goes deeper than
this struggle between, proctor and stu­dent.
In my opinion the atmosphere
is important, e,xtremely important. It
is here that the students hold full sway.
If I may draw a comparison to prove
my point, you don!t effectively prevent
students from walking on the school
seal in the gymnasium until you've
developed among them an attitude of
respect for that seal nor do you develop
this attitude overnight.
It's the same with cheating. It's very
difficult,almost imposs~ble, to eradicate
completely all vestiges ,of cheating
among a group that is familiar with
the methods employed and that has
seen cheating successfuly carried out.
Nor do you threaten them with im­mediate
expulsion for their first offense.
Cheating can be minimized, even eradi­cated,
and it will be done, but it will
require at least four years of continu­ous
,propagandizing by 1he Honor Com­'
mittee, an acceptance of the principles,
in toto, that the Honor Comrnmittee
will lay down, and, finally, an intensi­fied
orientation of the incoming Fresh­man
classes for the next four years to
these principles and to the school's
entire social code.
Both the Student Council and the
Honor Committee of that body are
moving toward the consolidation of all
these aims: the establishment of a social
code, the institution of a student court
to determine individual abuses of this
code, and a general awareness of the
problems within the college complex
and the most efficient means of allevi­ating
the burdens and dangers to the
student ,that will come with Fairfield's
growth.
Cheating hurts the good student as
well as the offender, but we must at­tempt
positive measures for reducing
the injury to both groups, on the one
hand patience, and on the other, deter­mination
,and fortitude. Once we've ac­complished
.this then we'll talk about
an Honor System.

EDITORS
To the Editor:
In the last issue of the STAG four
students in their letters to the editor
manifested great concern for the de­gree
of cheating prevalent during the
January final examinations. To each
of these men I wish to express my
thanks for their interest in the problem.
However, I do wish to make it clear­ly
known that something is being done
about the problem at least from the
student standpoint. The fact that each
instance of cheating that we detect is
note .directly made known to the stu­dent
body reflects the seriousness in
dealing with such a problem and the
hesitation I would have in turning in
any student to the authorities. I
wouldn't consider naming a poor proc=­tor
for the explicit purpose of having
him removed from the examination
room; this is llJOt an area subject to
1'0 the Editor:
Februar:;' 13th's "Aspect" column and
lead editorial, in criticizing the philoso­phy
program, seemed to omit-or soft­pedal
to the point of inaudibility-one
outstanding feature of it: that, except­ing
two non-required senior courses
each given three semester hours' credit,
the only philosophy taught here'is that
of the Thomistic school. My own ex­posure
to Thomism leads me to admit
that there is much in it that is excel­lent.
However, when one considers that
a survey of other philosophies is off­ered
only after three years of Thomism, '
it appears that the aim of the program
is more' one of indoctrination than of
enlig4!enment.
As the principal philosophical school
associated with the Church, Thomism
no doubt should be included in the
higher education of Catholics; but in
a time that has been termed "the post­Christian
era," and in 'a nation where
Catholics are a minority group, it is
appropriate to give undergraduates a
wider knowledge of the other philoso­phies
which have formed he mentality'
of our time.
There have been indications of a
trend toward a broader approach: the
metamorphosis of the relatively obscure
Aquinas Academy into the active Phi­losophy
Club; the phenomenology
"bug"; ,the two senior courses mention­ed
above; the presence of Contempor­ary
European Philosophy in the book­store,
and others. These are steps in the
right direction; more steps, and bigger
ones, are in order.

believe it is the responsibility of the
reader, student or Faculty member,
to comment in such a way as to con­vince
the writers to change their un­comprehending
or misinformed, their
jejune or-immature, their poorly­written
or uneducated opinions. If
we are given the opportunity to act
in a mature way, then we expect to
be treated in a mature way if we
respond to the opportunity respon­sibly.
If we do not see the norms
involved, then we expect to be shown
the norms. But the present quips in
class, and the possibly-stated diatribe
are not responsible replies to a group
searching for its responsibilities and
willing to accept criticism in good
faith.
If, contrary to our belief, we are
"telling the Administration what to
do," then would someone charitably
inform us how to convey the concept
of our suggesting what we ,believe are
legitimate criticisms offered in a ma­ture
way.
Last year, the STAG handed out
criticism forms" to over 40 students
and Faculty members renowned for
their interest in the school. We appre­ciated
the half-dozen replies we re­ceived.
Weare starting this again.
,.Does anyone still doubt our sin­cerity?

to the University? to perfect
the status quo?
is not only considerate but also laud­able.
The financial burdens which grow
every year for all American parents,
but especially for the sectarian Amer­ican
parents, must soon become a
universal theme about which we, as
persons, eX,ercising our freedom of
worship. And our right to be edu­cated

The University's contemporary
increase is only one of the myriad
financial burdens carried by parents
who are supporting both the public
and private systems of education
without consideration of their choice
to exercise their freedom to worship
and their legal rights.
It is a facile act for a collegiate'
journalist to pen the cry for a test
case in the Supreme Court. He does
not realize the make-up of the Court
at this time, the lack of interest by
sectarian parents, and a host of other
hindrances. But he must, as a colle­gian,
as a person exercising his free~
dom of worship, realize that the issue
must soon be resolved or the educa­cational
growth of the populace will
be sheerly determined by wealth, not
intelligence. Right now, we, the col­legians,
must grow in our intelligence
of the issues and assist the under­standing'
and motivation of all par­ents.
Among the opportunities for litur­gical
worship offered here, an addi­tion
to the religious services has come
which has long been needed.
Starting with this season of Lent,
the 4: 45 p.m. Mass has been offered,
as of the present understanding, until
thE:.. Easter holidays. The STAG of­fers
the motion that the 4: 45 Mass
become a permanent liturgical activ­ity
throughout the scholastic year.
Not only is the Mass at that hour
more attractive to the traditional late­risers,
but, positively, is the center
hour of the layman's day on campus
, and, thus, is more liturgically correct.
Starting the day with Mass has less
rationale than the Mass as the central
act of the collegian's day, not only in
theory, but in chronological fact.
This proposal is aimed at giving
human nature a chance and trying to
perfect it by offering the more sen­sible
hour for Mass for the whole
school year.

A College Paper?
ACP Tells Why
The Associated Collegiate Press of
th~ University of Minnesota has ex­pressed
in capsule form the amwer
to a question frequently voiced on
college campuses: Why is a college
newspaper?
The answer is outlined in the fol­lowing
five points:
1. To provide an organ of infor~
mation that will present all the
views desired by those who are
actively interested in the insti­tution-
the students, faculty,
administration, parents, alum~
ni and friends.
2. To breathe the distinctive spirit
of the institution which it rep­resents.
3. To provide an organ for the
expression of students thought
and to unify ideals and objec­tives.
4. To create a wholesome college
spirit and to support the insti-tution's
best traditions. '
'5: To promote and encourage
worthy college activities.
TUTION
INCREASE
In the past several issues of the
STAG, the following editorials have
received rumored derogatory critici~ni
from some Faculty members: "An
Appeal to the Administration"
(Nov. 21), "More on the Academic
Calendar (Dec. 12), ·~Ineffi.ciency:
Late Marks and Long Lines" and
"Excused Cuts" (Feb. 27).
First, the Editor and the Editorial
Board sincerely appreciates those Fac~
ulty members who state their views
to us.
Second, it is our understanding
that the Administration has adopted
the policy of letting students assume
responsibility and that, in turn, the
students are- treated according to the
measure and the implementation of
that responsibility.
The Editorial Board takes upon
itself, as one task, the responsibility
to write editorials concerning the
issues of contemporaneous impor­tance
to the student body or, in some
cases, what we believe the students
should think is important.
As a result of commenting editor­ially
in the STAG, the Board mem­bers
expect and welcome criticism
offered to us, just as we expect our
criticisms to be accepted for what they
are worth, if anything. And if, per­chance,
the editorial commentary is
not worth the print used, the paper
consumed, then the Board members

Conservative Club
Sets Constitution
The Collegiate Council for the
United Nations held an organ­izational
meeting March 6th.
At this meeting a committee was
elected to draw up a constitu­tion
which will be presented to
the Student Council for ap­proval.
The CCUN is' a nation-wide
group with over 350 college
ohapters and is affiliated with
the United Nations..
Its purpose is to educate the
college student to a fuller real­ization
of the problems which
confront the United Nations and
the emerging nations of today.
Forums on world affairs,
briefings from U.N. missions
and staff members, and partici­pation
in model United Nations
are some of the means employed
to achieve this purpose.
. Membership is open to all
interested students. During the
coming meetings the constitu­tion
will be voted on and offi­cers
will be elected.
The Conservative Club is one
of the newest organizations on
the Fa.irfield Universi.ty campus.
It was organized at the begin­ning
of the second semester of
this year' by a senior, Michael
Lawrenc.e.
The Club's purpose is to teach
members, through actual experi­ence
"to be articulate spokes­men
for the conservative posi­tion
in moral, social, economic,
and political matters."
When Mr. Lawrence was ask­edabout
hopes for the club, he
commented: "We want to stimu­late
debates by presenting clear­cut
conservative positions. The
students will learn how to pre­sent
their views in a non-parti­san
way. Controversy will be
the life-blood of the club. With­out
that, how can we continue?"
At this time, the club is hav­ing
.weekly meetings to set its
constitution. The club is making
a final draft of its constitution,
and when this -is completed will
present it to the Student Coun­cil.
Once the club is under way
its meetings will be less fre­quent.
This will give its mem­bers
ample time .to formulate
topics for discussion.
The club, in its early stages,
has twenty members. Since this
Club thrives on opinions, it is
open to all.

these are baked by a

This tour was one of a list of
events scheduled by the club
for the present semester and
coming year. All those interest­ed
in joining the club and par­ticipating
in its various activi­ties
are welcome to ,attend the
next meeting on Tuesday, March
19 at 3:10. Future plans will be
discussed then.
SAM Holds Elections;
O'Connor Voted Pres.
On February 18, the Univer­sity
Chapter of S.A.M. held elec­tions.
Elected were: John H.
O'Connor, president; Ralph Fer­riolo,
vice-president, and John
DeCesare, secretary-treasurer.
Last Wednesday the club was
given a guided tour of the Con­tinental
Baking Company of
Bridgeport, bakers of Wonder
Bread ,and Rolls. Under the
guidance of Mr. Anthony Pre­suto,
personnel manager of the
company, a group of students,
including the club moder·ator,
Mr. Robert O'Neil, witnessed the
entire process of baking rolls,
beginning with the raw ingredi­entsand
ending with the finish­ed
product packaged and ready
for delivery. After the tour, the
other forms of Russian music of
the nineteenth century. While
playing various excerpts from
this opera, Mr. Petry pointed out
the dominant air of tragedy
which pervades the entire work.
In a comparison between
Moussorgsky and Rimski-Korsa­kov,
Mr. Petry discussed the
coronation scene in "Boris Godu­nov."
He mentioned that Rimski­Korsakov
wrote the peasants'
song for this particular scene in
a joyous and triumphant tone,
while the original interpretation
of this scene by Moussorgsky
is restrained and heavy. Since in
,the historical account of the
coronation the peasants were
forfced iJIlto the square to cheer
Boris Godunov, a usurper, Mr.
Petry suggested that perhaps
Moussorgsky's interpretation is
the more realistic of the two.
In the light of this conclusion
Mr. Petry sta<ted that the artist
is a true artist indeed, who
would saY,as Moussorgsky did:
"Not beauty for its own sake,
but truth whatever it be."

presented a lecture by
Mr. Walter J. Petry to its mem­bers
and guests~ Speaking on
Russian music of the nineteenth
century Mr. Petry mentioned
that of the "Russian Five":
Balakirev, Borodin, Cui, Ritnski­Korsakov,
and Moussor.gsky, the
last is by far the most significant
for his embodiment of the Rus­sian
spirit in music. Instead of
discussing "Boris Godunov" ex­clusively,
which is perhaps the
most famous of all Russian
operas, ·Mr. Petry also talked
about a lesser known work of
Moussorgsky "Khovanchina."
Besides its obvious lack of arias,
he pointed out that this opera
perfectly manifests that spirit
of melancholy which is found in
Fairfield, Conn.

Book By O'Day
At the March 6 meeting of
the Canisius Academy, Robert
Stewart, '66, delivered a report
on the book, "The American
Catholic Dilemma," by Thomas
O'Day.
This work is a sociologist's
study of the problem: where is
the Catholic intellectual? Ac­cording
to Mr. O'Day, the solu­tion
to this problem is relatively
simple. Up till now, there have
been no Catholic intellectuals.
The rest of the report was de­voted
to Mr. O'Day's analysis of
the factors which have inhibited
the growth of Catholic intellec­tual
society.

Cleveland Orchestra and Mr.
Szell, we feel elated at belong
able to say we have heard the
orchestra. Time says: "Cleve­land
joined in the battle of the
bands that marked the opening
of Manhattan's new Philhar­monic
Hall and came ,away the
master of the great orchestras
from Boston, Philadelphia and
New York."
Time's story is both compre­hensive
and succinct.· It traces
Mr. Szell's early life and his
gradual growing accomplish- .
ments. "He arrived in Cleveland
in 1946, prtmed and rebuilt the
orchestra,educated its audience,
charmed its angels, and terrified
everyone, until he reached a
point of supreme control and
superb accomplishment."
Szell this year is celebrating
his Golden Aniversary in the
music world. He gave his first
public concert a·t 16 leading the
Vienna Symphony Orchestra.
Since this performance he has
been known for his dedication
to music and his authoritarian
conducting: "this means play it
his way or else."
The ,February 10 concert was
well attended and well received.
The "articulate clarity and pre­cise
balance" that Mr. Szell
brings to performances is re­flected
in the' way "his musi­cians
respond to his directions
with astonishing agility," for the
conductor is only as good as his
orohestra. Good music was the
product. Very good music.

Don't expect to leave tbe Mar­tinique
Thea.tre with a profound
insi,ght into Pirandello's existen­tial
view of life; for it has yet
to be derived But rather you
will 'find yourself situated in
Pioondello's prearranged hiatus
between illusionanct reality. So
much so that you might have to
reaffirm your own existence'by
a small pinch. (Which for the
moment will be sufficient proof.)
Simple. Superb. Complex
The setting is simple, the act­ing
is superb but the theme is
complex - almost intangible.
Unfortunately, full comprehen­sion
of Pirandello's ideas is al­most
impossible because most
of his works and criticisms re­main
untransl-ated from their
original Italian. His message
may not be clear but it certain­ly
is loud.
Displayed in "Six Characters
in Search of an Author" is Pi­randello's
classic heterodoxy,
which is a play within a play.
One feels almost like· an intrud­er
at the outset. A small com­pany
of actors is rehearsing a
drama when from the shadows
of the background steps six
lonely characters dressed in
mourning. Upon being asked
what their business was the
father says they are in search
of an author. 'I1his draws laugh­ter
from the actors and intense
curiosity from the audience.
Slowly their pitiful story is
unveiled and tbe attention of
the ca,st is won.
Michael O'Sullivan portrays
the frustrated Broadway Direc­tor
who represents civilization
as it is - false. A mere illusion
of reality. He was perfect in his
role and was res'ponsible for a
few moments of comic relief.
Richard A. Dysart the father,
very convincingly explains his
families tragic plight.

THE LATIN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
Before launching into any evaluation of the, Latin American
University there are some very important facts to be considered.
First, knowledge of all basic institutions, including the university,
in these countries is inadequate. S()urce materials /on the Latin
American University are all but non-existent in English and
limited in Spanish. Secondly', this column is subject to the wEtak­nesses
of broad generalizations to which exceptions may be found.
However, until more studies have been made of this very import­ant
social institution, the generalization must suffice.
The early colonial university was patterned on Bologna and
Salamanca and had a definite theological preoccupation. Con­temporary
university authorities consider this colonial institution
as a good, complete, and effective instrument for its times and
take great pride in it., Political and educational movements of
the nineteenth century can be blamed for the destruction of the
unity and universali·ty of the colonial university. Mter this
political upheaval and the gaining of ind.ependence, we find a uni­versity
of the republic emerging with a marked emphasis on the
professions rather than on the 'culture' of the colonial epoch. Sepa­rated
schools or faculties were accepted as the norm and central
authority or the traditional structure of the university was annihi­,
lated. This spirit of professionalism, the chief products being
doctors and lawyers in the early days, produced a multiplication
of libraries, laboratories, courses, professors and bureaucracy.
Each faculty, then, is the university to its students and their
activities and loyalties are centered here.
The faculty or teaching staff of the individual schools of the
university· is a fundamental problem in the Spanish American
system. The university professor is a professional man who gains
a livelihood outside of the university and devotes a small part
of his time to teaching for 'the prestige it may give him, devotion
to his profession, or for political reasons. Aside from the very
real financial limitation to full-time participation in teaching,
fear of government intervention which results in dismissals and
fear of complete control by the professors are two powerful factors
for the continuation of the present system. The professors are
chosen by examination, contract, or by influence and prestige. In
the more advanced nations of South America we can see a new
and fairly well-paid group of professors emerging - but the full
time professor is far from a reality.
The contemporary Latin American university is maintained
by government subsidies. As a consequence of this, the contempor­ary
lay directors of the university have great difficulty staying out
of national and even international politics. It can easily be seen
that these dIrectors are certainly "the best qualified" when we
consider that they were among the one percent of the student
population which graduates from the university.
. ,Although student participation in the government of the uni­versity
was suspended during the eighteenth century, this partici­pation
was revived in the reform of the University of Cordoba,
Argentina in 1918. Unfortunately, however, this participation has
grown to be tyrannical in many places when the administration
must play'up to student elements to maintain a semblance of con­trol.
~his becomes an even more serious problem when the student
makes national and international politics the internal politics of
the university.
The increase in the university student population has been
tremendous in the last twenty years. Neither the building of new
educational plants nor the maintenance of academic standards has
been able to keep up with this increase of about four hundred
percent.
The problem of university finance and student support has
been very serious since sharp rises in the cost of living have been
most common throughout Latin America. The government authori­ties
will not limit registration and tuition is practically negligible.
They consider it "against nature" to .limit registration simply
because there are not sufficient classrooms, teaching materials, or
professors. ,
Before bringing this glimpse of the Latin American University
to a close, we must take a good look at the student. He is a minor­ity
group since only some three percent of the school population
reach the university. Hardly one percent graduate. This makes
him something special, a privileged group, it means membership
in a powerful, educated, pressure group in countries where large
percentages of the population cannot even read or write. He comes
from the aristocracy, the rising middle class, and sometimes from
the struggling upper poor bracket. In order to continue studying,
these latter groups - that is, the middle class students, must find
regular employment. It is hard for them to find suitable employ­ment
to meet their social status as university students, and fre­quently
they must leave the' studies for a while to make ends
meet. This produces two common situations. It tends to make
the average age of the university student high and his living with
his family necessary, a situation which continues even in the
event of his marriage ,While he struggles to complete his educa-'
tion. Those who have come to the city to educate themselves at
the university level are forced to live in boarding houses where
cramped quarters and poor food are the rule.
The student's social position influences his political position.
It can be said that the law students are the most active politically
and that they are the largest singl:e student group. In some coun­tries
students of Social Science or Education are more numerous.
Although medical students in most countries are a large group
they tend to stay out of politics since the expenses of a medical
education can only be sustained by a certain group which is gen­erally
in favor of the status quo. The position of the student in
his society'makes him a very politically alive individual and the
graft, corruption, and social injustice of his society - which he
clearly sees - pose great challenges which tend to make him a
social reformer. Seeing the difficulty which exists in changing
the outmoded and unjust social, ecopomic, and political struc­tures,
he is often in favor of complete political reform. Although
this reform is often in accord with a fight for the application of
Christian social principles, there is also another ideology which
is attractive. That ideology is Marxist communism.

'SALUTE: MIKE HARRIS

Finally after many difficulties
the Fairfield bowling league is
rolling again. However, it is not
operating as it has in the past.
In September twelve teams
comprised what was thought to
be a very formidable league.
When the second half of ,the
school year started, the league
was supposed to consist of ten
teams. This was about par for
the course-at least at Fairfield
where history tends to repeat
itself, When all the details were
finally settled, the organizers
of the league found only enough
men for seven teams; and for
the past two weeks the league
has been operating with just
seven teams. It is hoped that
these "magnificent 7" will com­plete
their schedules.
The statistics for the first
term show that R. Greene's team
wound up in first place. At the
conclusion of the second round
there will be a playoff between
the two winners (unless Greene's
team happens to win again!) for
the league trophy, '
In second round play KenWa­'
tel's' team is on top with a 6 and
o record, and Richie Greene's
squad is second with a 5, and 1
mark, Al White has the high in­dividual
mark with a 255, and
Dom Torrillo is close behind
with a 246. White also holds the
high game series with a 648.
The standings as of Mar. 4 are
as follows:

1. Waters 6 0 4687
