Mrs.. Clare Boothe Luce, this
year's second Bellarmine lecturer,
will address the student
body of Fairfield University on
December 6 at 2:00 p.m. in
Berchmans Hall. Although Mrs.
Luce has not yet disclosed her
topi,c for this occasion, it is probable
tha,t she will include a discussion
orf her recent European
tour. She returned -to this countryon
November 22 aftter a five
week trip abroad.
During her European journey
Mrs. Luce visited -the Holy
Father at his summer residence
a't Castel Gandolfo. While this
w,as her third audience with
Pope Pius XII, it was the first
visit wi'th Our Holy Father since
her conversion.
An oUitstanding playwright
and politician, Mrs. _Luce was
born in New York City on April
10, 1903. She has been at one
time the assO'ciate editor of both'
Vogue and Vanity Fair.
In 19'35 she married Henry R.
!..lUice, publisher of Time. Life.
,and Fortune. Among Mrs. Luce's
boo.ks and plays are: Europe in
the Spring. The Women. Kiss
the Boy.s Goodbye. and Margin
for Error.
In 1942 Mrs. Luce, running on
the Republican ticket, was elected
U. S. Representative from the
4th district in OonnelClticut. She
was an outspoken critic of the
Roosevelt adminis'tration and at
first opposed American participation
in World War II. Roosevelt
peI"\Sonally called for her
defeat in 1944 but she was reelected
to the House od' Representatives
by a close margin,
defelating the Democratic oandidate
Miss Mar~aret Connors.
As a mem'ber of the House
Military A1'fairs Committee Mrs.
Luce toured Euro'Pean battle
frontts ai the close of 1944.
Since her conversion to the
Roman Catholic faith in Felbruary,
1946, Mrs. Luce has le'Ct'ured
before a number of Oatholic organizations.

Juniors To Choose
Editor Of Yearbook
The Junior Cliass officers will
r·ecommend to the Dean five
names as possible candida tes for

within 'the next few days. The
naming of a Moderator for the

by the Dean's Office very soon.
During the past two days the
Junior Officers, including James
Keating, President; William
Heagney, Vice-President; Vincent
Bartelmo, Tre'asurer and
RObert Mark, Secre:tary, hav,e
been consulting the mem!bers of
Ithe Juni'or Ad,visory Commit,t,ee
as'certaining their choices fo,r
the Editorship of the Yooribook.
The position as Editor of Yearbook
is most important and
Keating asserted that the success
of the Junior Yeartbook depends
to a large extent on securing
a s,tuden't who not only is
lfiamiliar with the set up of a
Yearbook but also an individual
endowed with leadership qualities
one who knows how to get
the most out of his assisltants.
Member's of the Advisory
Committee consulted on this
m1atrter include: Ciro Veneruso,
Frank DiSca1a, Edward Flannery,

Tomorrow, during the fifth
period, the University will hold
its Second Annual Baskeltball
Rally in Berchmans Auditorium.
The rally is in preparation for
the first home game aglainst
Brooklyn College, Saturday evening,
'and for a success'£ul season.
Co-chairmen Bernie Beglane
and Gus Horvath are in charge
and plan to do all to mak'e it an
extravaganza. Many surprises
are in store for the stud'ents. Several
noted sporitsmen will be
guests.
Our new basketlball coach,
Robert Noonan, will be presented
to the students for the first
time. He ,will introduce the
members of the basketball team,
a team we all know will be very
successful this year.
The Fair1ield University Glee
CIUlb will sing several selections
as part of the program planned.
Our cheerleaders win introduce
new cheers and lead the cheering.
ISophomores 'and Juniors who
arttended last year's rally know
the enthusiasm everyone expressed
!for our team. Manny
Slater and J,oe Bariber, two of
Bridgeport's 'ace sports announcers,
were ,guests' at the first
rally.
Beglane 'and Horvath hope to
have National League_ baselball
umpire Billy Greive, Fordham
football coach Ed Danowski and
Bill McGuire, Athlertic Director
of St. Francis College in Brooklyn,
on hand to speak to the students
at the rally.
Every-one is urged to attend
this rally, ror if we are to expect
a successful season, we must
cheer the team and show them
we are behind them all ,the way.
Rallies and cheers are importan1t
. to team spirit. We should all
attend and follow the team at
least in all home games.

and untied Boston C;:;llege by a
score, of 55 to 12, in what was
regarded at the time as one of
the greatest football upsets of
all time. During that 1942 season,
Holov'ak gained a total of 965
yard!; in nine games played. He
is now assistant to Denny Myers,
his former coach.
A't the banquet, memlbers who
have completed one year of service
in the Council will receive
1estimonial awards in the form
of "keys" appropri,ately inscribed.
A 'credit system, similar to tha,t
inaugurated at the last Kni,gh'ts
of Xavier Dance is beiIl!g used
so that students who are temporarily
financially embarrassed
may still attend.
The committee in charge of
the Testimonial includes James
Keating, Michael Levinsky, Vincent
Nemergut and Raymopd
O'Connor, Jr. They were assisted
in the distribution of tickets by
J,oseph :F1orte, Roberlt: Walsh,
Walter R. J. Lee and William

Death Benefit Fund
The Sodality of Our Lady of
Fairfield held a general meeting
·this week. Two new committees
wer-e set in motion, the Election
Committee and the Puibhcity
Committee. More progress has
been made toward setting up the
elec'tion of officers in the second
week of Decemlber. Attendance
a,t Rosary recitation on Mondays
at 9:1<0 a.m. in Room 19 has been
rather small. It only means giving
up from 10 to 12 minutes of
your time once a week. How
about it?

almost hopes that Blanshard won't muff the next one,
but inevitably he does. Any given paragraph or chapter
may seem devastating; when all paragraphs or chapters
are considered together, they largely cancel out.
Only a few relatively minor points, fragments of truth,
survive.
Even these minor points are killed by the book's
two closing paragraphs. It could be a book for bigots,
but bigots don't need such books. The strange fact is
that Mr. Blanshard doesn't seem to be a true bigot. He
knows more about Catholicism, for one thing, than
would be good for a bigot. Those final paragraphs make
Paul Blanshard an object of sincere affection among
Catholi.cs.
My suggestion is, therefore, that we pray for Paul
Blanshard; that we pray for his conversion. The whole
book boils down to a rather harmless thesis that there is
,nothing wrong with the Church, though some things
may be wrong with ,~ornr mem,1?e,rs of the Church.

It is interesting to note that
only 60 members of the Junior
Class raised the entire $989. This
represents 26.6% of the Junior

such invisible "crutches," it will offer a new hope, a new

in turn pass this kindness on to others. These noble

In this case, the happiness brought about, will likewise

however, it grows to enormous proportions, until its

Friday night marks the opening
of the home season at the
Bridgeport Armory, and the
team hopes to ,be hosts to Brooklyn
College who "ran up" the
score on us in the first varsity
Igame 0If last yea:t:'s team. I,t ap'
pears that the starting team will
all be veterans of last year's
squad, and they wiU be out to
settle the score 1'-01' the "spor1t'smanship"
,sh0wed by Al Baggett,
coach of the Brooklyn five.
Joe Kehoe and Joe Regensburger
,are slated to start at, forwards,
Joe Miko at center, and
Jack Mullady and Jack Sullivan
at guards. Right behind them,
and s'cheduled to s·ee p'lenty od'
action are Ed Sisk and Jackie
Moffet. A new add'.ition to the
team since the lasit i5sue is Elliot
Pierson, one of the top performers
for the Jayvee squad last
season.
Brooklyn is rated a strong
squad, and the Stalg,s will !be
primed for the balttle. With
plenty of scrimmage behind
them, our boys should be well
prepared for this home opener.
With the home night moved
up to Fridays, to accommodate
the boarding students, a sell-out
crowd is expected. Everyone
should 'be there, if it is aJt all
possiJble to give our Stags a rousing
send-·off on a season which
is sure to see many Faime'ld
triumphs.

at the hands of the University
Stags Bow., 65-53 of Bridgeport and Ho:f'str'a, the
~ Cross Country season has come
'1:0 a close. The scores were
HorstI~a 15, F. U. 40, and U. B.
18, F. U. 37. In these two Fall
meets, FaiIiield placed only once
among the first five! This was
done .by Joe Miko, who finished
third in the U.B. meet.
There are no eX1cuses to be
P made, bUit there is an expl>ana15

not know their reasons. We are

Be Played On Friday
Most of the major college
elevens dosed shop last weekend
for another season, but here
at Fairfield, the f-ootlball furor
is at ~ts peak. The list of fourIteen
competitors is now narrowed
down to four, and by Friday
afternoon, one of these will go
down in history as the first Intramural
Championship footbaU
team.
The "Timothy" league may
not have received as much national
atrtention as did the Ivy,
but no Penn-Cornell conrtest was
ever harder fought than the
grim contests waged in the wan-
jng sunlight of the Hay Bowl.
Next on the intmmural
agenda, is basketball. The le1ague
is slow to form up to now, with
-only six combines filling their
initentions. Reverend Gerald
Kinsella, S.J., issues the plea for
more teams, so that the games
'can be played before it gets too
cold. Alfter witnessing the wonderful
response to the football
'competition, he is confident th'Cllt
many more teams will sign up
soon. :F~ather Kinsella would also
like some vo'lunteers to officiate
,at the basketib-all games. The
intramural football games were
presided over by Fiather Kinsella,
in person, but this is impossible
wi.th the large numlber
of baske1fb'aU contesits expeCted.
Lf you are interested in either
playing or officiating, or both,
plea'se see Father Kinsella at
your earliest convenience.

JOHN SULLIVAN
Captain of the Basketball Team
Be<fore last week's game with
the Aerasols, Jack Sullivan was
chosen captain of the Fairfield
Stags for the 1949-50 season. He
Ithen proceeded to show his
g0atitude by sinking sixteen of
the Stag's thirty-five points
against this skysuaper squad.
Born in Bridgeport, "Sully"
gr·aduated from Central High in
1944. In his Senior y€lar, he was
top scorer of ·a winning combine,
and was among the leading
poinrt-throwers of the area. He
entered the Marines the following
year, and played with the
Pacific Champions, touring the
islands with them for two years.
You can still see ·a nostalgic tear
in his eye when yO'll mention
the Tokyo Colloseurn.
.standing an even six fee,t, and
weighing 160, Sully is one of
Ithe fastest men on the team.
He was second only to Joe
Kehoe in scoring last year, and
'was oustanding in all around
play. The Stag extends its congratulaltions,
and hopes to see
Captain Sullivan l~ad his team
,to many victories: .<.

most would be expected of me
as a student, because the Jesuits
are known for that. I find this
true of Fairfield University, only
more so. They demand the utmost
of the students and more."
(Some learn that late in the
game, John. As a result, they
aren't in the game anymore.)
John Hokard, Freshman, said,
"I think that the standards of
Fairfield are above the average
college. Knowing the Jesuits, it's
to be expected. As for the social
life, it has to be improved. I
think that after the four years
are established and an alumnus
is founded things might be better."
John Green, Junior, replied,
"I find the system of education
more than satisfactory. That is,
its liberal education is complete.
However, the social life is practically
non-existent." (There was
a dance at Berchmans Hall Saturday,
John. Did you attend??)
Edward Lynch, Junior, said,
"It's. as difficult as I expected it
to be. College life is lacking. If
we get a formfl.l baseball team,
it will make up for the lack of
other activities." (Athlt!tic department,
take note.)
Edward Reilly, Junior, replied,
"The social life of Fairfield isn't
what I expected it to· be. The
social life that does exist, means
little to me or to out-of-town
commuters." (I'm sure that you
could find someone who is going
to attend the various afterschool
activities and ask for a
ride, Ed. Maybe it's because you
don't ask??)

While reading through one of
the college papers received by
our Exchange Department, I
came across a column similar
to "Table Chatter." It featured
the replies of the students to
the various questions asked of
them. One such column asked
the students what they thought
of their school.
Borrowing their idea, the
question for this issue is:
What is your opinion of Fairfield
University now that you
are attending?
In reply Albert Garofalo said,
"As a whole, I prefer Fairfield
to other colleges, because the
courses are treated more thoroughly.
A good portion of the
Fairfield students lack school
spirit. This seems to stem from
the fact that all tl\e students
are commuters. In my opinion, a
campus life would alter the condition
tremendously."
Art Sapienza, Freshman, replies,
"I thought that the curricula
offered were going to be
difficult and I find that my opinions
are sustained."
Paul Wirkus, Freshman, said,
"From the social standpoint, I
find that the students of Fairfield
are entirely sociable. I
thought. that it was going to be
like some"of the colleges that I
know - a nest of 'cliques.' From
the .educational standpoint, I
find that the studies are very
interestingly presented, to say
nothing of the method of presentation."
John Vitale, Freshman, replied,
"I expected that the ut-
