while others, through their
choice of atitudes, become
saints. Such was the case with
Beethoven. When he realized
he was becoming deal, he composed
much of his best work.
In his final criticism of Westem
culture, he criticized the
widespread American and European
view of our religious associations
being superior to
those of Russia. where threefourths
of the people are of no
particular denomination.
This he did by citing the results
of a recent European sur·
vey where only 50% of those
asked believed in the soul's
immortality, Christ's divinity,
God's Trinity and Christ's Immaculate
Conception. Yet Westerners
have been brainwashed
to consider themselves religiously
superior.
In summation, Dr. Sorokin
repeated his opening remarks,
that Western morality Is at its
lowest ebb."
Following the lecture Dr.
Sorokin entertained questions
from the overflow audience of
FacuIty, students and townspeople.
When asked his opinion
on the racial situation of the
world as a whole, the sociologist
observed that is is improving.
However, because of the apathied
South Africa and the in·
ability of the United States to
convict murderes, the situation
is still in "tragic fonn."

"The twentieth century Is the
most murderous of the past 25
centuries", asserted Dr. Pitirim
Sorokln of Harvard, who lectured
at Fairfield December 2
on "Western Religion and Morality
Today."
At the beginlng of his talk
Dr. Sorokln gave the two-fold
cause of this situation; the long
process of secularization begin·
Ing at the end of the twelfth
century, and a wave of great
castastrophes In the past fifty
years.
The secularizing process took
Its toll in two main ways, said
the sociologist: demotion of dogmas
to a man-made, not a Godmade
statUi", and an "emer·
gence and spread of science that
is rational and emplricaJ."
As an example of this secularization,
Dr. Sorkin pointed
out the field of music. "In the
tenth to the thirteenth centuries
among the great masterpieces
94-97% were religious;
in the twmtieth century among
the important only 3% are
religious.
Such is the situaUon in architecture.
"Great cathedrals
of today are lost among secular
buildings like needles In a
haystack."
'~is means that religion,
which conditioned all fine arts,
began to decrease so that in
the twentieth century Its per
cent of infIunence is almost
nothing compared to previous
centuries." "At the present time
most moral precepts are not
binding anyone in any way."
For a basis of this Or. Sorokin
offered the spiraling oC deaths
in intemational warfare. A similar
condition exists In national
revolutions SO that "we are the
bloodiest and most inhuman
people of the past twenty·five
centuries."
Vietnam became the prime
example oC this lack of human
respect. In Vietnam we are
doing In the nllJllle of God what
our predecessors woudn't dare
to do," said Dr. Sorokln a "conservatlve
O!.rlstian anarchist."
Regarding the second cause
of today's moral crisis, world
wide calamities, Dr. Sorokin 0bserved
the existence of the
schools of thought: that they
make their victims more foral
and religious or more aggreslrive,
depending on the person.
The sociologist observed how
some persons condemned to
death become cynical theists,

are not atempting to promote It elsewhere.
Our Constitution provides for a
Republican fonn of government.
I do not agree with the author that
socialism places the emphasis on the
social responsibilities of man. On the
contrary, It focuses the emphasis on
the state. Man Is deprived of the benelit
of his character, personality, and
individual prowess. On a commercial
scale, when competition Is e1lmlnated,
e1flclency suffers. When the profit
moUve Is denied, enthusiasm falters.
When an artificial leveling of men occurs,
the pace of society becomes the
pace of the slowest, and the result is
mediocrity. What naUon, new or old,
wants that! More important, what
nation can afford it? Any transition
which Is eaected through artificial
means wiU necessarily be artificial It",
U.
I do not believe that Southeast
Asia will be "comfortably" raised
under any system of government. certainly
any worthwhile goal requires
much hard work. Our own country
was fortunated in that it had a background
of over one hundred years of
colonial government. But even then
we had our critical period. How much
more difficult will a democratic gov_
ernment be to attain in Southeast
Asia? Socialism will not make things
easier for these people. History has
proven it a failure, economically, s0cially,
and politically.
Frank refers to Socialism as "modified
communism," but, however it's
called, I oppose it as a system of government,
modified or not, In Southeast
Asia or anywhere else in the world.
The hope of the social unit lies not
with socialism, but with a democratic
system of free enterprise.

To the Editor:
Gentlemen:
In my more than two years at Fair·
lield I have consistenly noticed In many
students a notion which is disappointing.
Amid the heat of last Friday's
basketball rally, a remark was made,
among other disappointing ones, that
"those guys you find yelling the team
on with all their guts out are the real
Stags; and those that don't are only
Fairfield 'students' ". I hope that Mr.
N., for that is what he called himself,
has had time to think about what he
said.
To the Editor:
While I agree with several points
made by Frank Cunningham in his
latest "Voice" colwnn, I strongly disagree
with the conclusion he reaches,
i.e., advocacy of socialism for South·
east Asia. Such a policy would be in
direct opposition to the basic tenents of
the free enterprise system which the
United States champions and would
not be in the best interests of either
our country or the Southeast Asian
Nations we are trying to help.
"Democracy", says Mr. Cunningham,
"has advanced toward the common
good concept only In so far is it has
adopted the ideas of socialization."
This Is false. The "common good" concept
has been the cornerstone of our
nation since Its founding. The worels
"public good" go as far back as the
Declaration of Independence. We have
a Constitution, a Bill of Rights, an
honest and responsive legislature, and
an equitable system of Federal, State,
and Local Courts, all devised with the
common good In mind. They have
selVed us well, but is this "socialization"?
"Pure democracy" he continues,
"functions best in an agrarian society."
This point is somewhat irrelevant because
pure democracy does not and

At the November 18 meeting of the
Student Legislature Mr. Fred Lucey
proposed an amendment to the Agenda
pending further consideration. I supported
this amendment and stated my
reason as this: The Student Legislature
should discontinue Its policy of
piecemeal appropriation. The chairman
of the finance committee in pursuance
of Article VI of the By-Laws of the
Student Association should compile a
list of the budgets and requests for
appropriations of the various extracurricular
activities on campus. Then
the Legislature, having a rough idea ot
what each organization needs, might
judiciously divide the money It has at
its disposal. At least six members of
the Legislature voted with me in support
of Mr. Lucey's amendment. When
It failed, I informed the Legislature
that I would be forced to oppose the
individual appropriations - not because
they were not good in themselves,
but because there was no way
of making a value judgement with
reference to other requests.
In the November 24 issue ot the
STAG Mr. Richard Peek, making no
reference to the proponent ot the
amendment ot the vote in support ot
It, described my position as this: "It

I am completely fed up with the present
status of drinking as it exi.~ts now

regulate liquor trall'ic and keep
it away from our youth, Il3 the law

step that could be attempted
is the policy of providing liquor e1ucation
in the public and private high
schools. This has had a most wonderf'.ll
success in many parts of the Mif\dle
West, and I would like to see It begun
in Utls part of the country as soon as
possible. After all, Isn't It foolish to
encourage young people to seek their
associates in places where liquor is
sold and then criticize them when
they become delinquents and possibly
alcoholics!
As far as I 'know, there is only one
established organization which ofters
this wonderful lecture in liquor education,
which meets a vital need in

possible so that- we can prepare an
immediate program of reform and

I consider this very true, not
only in youth but In grownups.
We are in a transitional period
of con1lict, from the values of
the past to values and tasks of
the future. We are in a transl·
tory disintegration of a sensate
culture. We are heading toward
a new order, but full development
has not yet taken place.
There is no system of great
values, we do not have great
tasks to accomplish, and are
thrown hither and thither by
various forces.
When there are no valu(!$ or
great tasks to accolllpllsh, one
becomes bored. There is the attempt
to escape through roc::k
and roll, etc., but in the long
run there is no peace of mind.
The present generation is con·
fused. and tries to find escape
in mad ways as alcohol, drugs,
etc.
People in :Ausaia today are
part of groups. Morality is high·
er in Russia because the family
is strong. Politicians talk o(
past Russia, and their apprals·
al is fictitious and does not cor·
respond to reality. They are
better off morally, socially and
culturally than we are In the
West. Communism has been
melting, and we have both been
converging, becoming similar.
Peaceful co-exlstence is more
possible today than ever. It
would be good if we could retire

Unfortunately. Lewis' L.P.

Suppose that Russia were to make a sneak nuclear attack
on the United States that would demolish It as a world power.
Suppose that the president found out only when it was too late
to do anything to save his country from destruction. Should
he retaliate or should he refrain from killing hundreds of
thousands of Innocent Russian people? Which would be his
patriotic choice?
What is the meaning of patriotism In the world today! Do
we owe our loyalty to our national interests or to humanity as
a whole?
If patriotism Is a type of love (love of country). is it thus
susccpetible to a distinction between eros and agape! Can there
be a false as well as tnIe patriotism?
Does the State exist for man or does man emt for the
State? Does the patriot regard his nation as an absolute above
humanity and above truth and justice?
b there a difl'erence between patriotism and aadoDaIiAm!
Does the tnIe patriot support his country right or wrong? Is
it his moral obligation to judge the morality of the actions
whlch his country perfonns? Must the true patriot make a
distinction between error and persons in error? Are all totalitarians
madmen?
Is not a thinking being existing here and now in the West
In the twentieth century basically humanistically inclined? Has
not the whole development of the West been toward realizing
that a world which Is nat. based on human 80UdJLrity aDd jultke
Is doomed! Simply because the Western tradition so strongly
upholds the dignity of the human person, is there any reason to
suppose tha.t this idea wlll always be upheld? Is the West thus
morally obliged to preserve human dignity and freedom on an
international level?
Considering the enormous technical advances of the modern
world, does it make sense any longer to picture nations as
individual units or should they be thought of as so many parts
of a higher reality, namely, humanity as a whole?
18 It poMlble 'tor II. PIBIl to be most plI.trtotlc 'by openly

conscientious objectors necessarily unpatriotic?
Is the present war In Vietnam one for the preservation of
the Vielnamese people? If so, how long will it be before there
nre none left to preserve?
Is an Issue of such Imporlance as our involvement in a war
so plain that we can unequivocally uphold one side? Is it rationally
possible to support our government's policy in Vletnam
without at least some reservations?
Granted that the members of our academic conununity do
support our stance In Vietnam and that they have a legitimate
right to voice lheir approval, can we not, precisely all aD aca.demic
comunlty, do something more than simply demonstrate
our support?
Is it not our duty as college teachers and coUege studenls
to dig deep into the facts about the war in Vietnam? Is not
dialogue called for precisely because none of us is able simply
to examine and reject the other side?

Notes
upon Mr. Buckley. I believe
football is important to Fairfield
and must be liiupported
but not to the possible detriment
and expense of other organizations
and an individual's
character.
I would just like to say that
I have known and respected Mr.
Buckley. his ideas, opions and
weighed judgements during my
four years here at Fairfield. He
Is an elected member of the
Student Legislature upholding
principles explicitly written
within the Constitution and especially
those Christian of
whIch we all are a part. Mr.
Buckley acted in the November
18th session on these principles
and failed to bend under the
pressure of the so called "popularity
complex" confronted and
accepted by so many of the
community.
In closing, I hope Mr. Franey
realizes the exlent of his emotional
public attack upon Mr.
Buckley, and the STAG, realizing
its financial and material
limitations, limit itself even further
by reporting facts and
save their interpretation to individual
editorials or to the
members of this University.
Thank you,

To the Editor:
1 would like to take advantage
of the oppOrtunity ail'orded
by your medium to briefly comment
on the visit of Professor
Pitirim A. Sorokin to our campus
last Thursday.
This phenomenal man, regarded
by many as the greatest
living sociologist, and a genius
in his own right, agreed to deliver
two colloquia for undergraduale
students and faculty
members during the day, as
well as a public lecture entitled
"Western Religion and Morality
Today" In Gonzaga Auditorium,
in the evening: all of which
were enthusiastically attended.
All I e ad i n,g sociologists
throughout the world, recognize
this man as the most prominent
figure in the field of Sociology.
This Is given witness to by
the fact that he is the immediate
past President of the American
Sociological Association. It
would be superfluous to give the
many outstanding cantributions
that he has made to society, in
the realm of human understanding
in the 20th Century. We
the students who benefited from
his visit, are at the same time
honored and grateful for It. The
insights gained from this intellectual
encounter cannot be
gauged, and indeed, are priceless.
The discussions arising
from the lectures of this altruistic
man cannot, in any way,
be compared to the discussions

Vinny is an Education major
and has taught in the Contra·

He intends to go to graduate

to teach high school English.
Coaching is another possibility

Vin puts it "I'd like to convey
the quest for winning that has
been instilled in me, to others.
Although I'm a great advocate
of sportsmanship and fair-play,
winning athletic contests can
be one of the greatest experiences
in life." This winning attitude
was instilled in him by
his Cather, a minor-league player
and a former coach at As-sumption
College.
Vinny has an earnest dedication
to his intramural post
and feels that future success
wiJ1 depend upon student support.
"Our work has been de-l
signed for the student", acJ
cording to Yin, "and it is only
through his continued support
that success of any kind is made
possible." It is true that much
of the success of intramurals at
Fairfield has been due to avid
student interest, but without
the help of Vincent L'Esperance
it all might still be a fond hope
rather than a concrete realization.

from the losing corner for as long as basing has endured,
but only recently does is couistently come
from the fana direction. Two Patter50n - Litton
fiaacoa along with another two Liston - Clay disappointments
set the sage for the recent twelve round
exhibition in Las Vagas which was supposed to redeem
boxing, It fell short by a country mile.
It takes two to tangle and the Clay - Patterson
fight was completely one-sided. Clay constantly
moved and jabbed while Patterson merely went
through the motions. A back injury rendered Patterson
immobile from the fourth round on and he can
be credited with courage alone, which unfortunately
doesn't win heavywight titles.
Patterson's Injury
It is sadly ironic the wayan injury or a "phantom
punch" has managed to prove decisive in three of the
last four heavyweight title bouts. The pity of Patterson's
case is that it was preventable. He knew
of the injury beforehand, yet rather than postpone
the fight a little while, he quit training five days in
advance and foolishly witheld his condition. A few
of the sports writers sensed that something was afoot
in the Patterson camp, but couldn't pin it down. So
Floyd cheated both himself and the public as well
as making Clay's job that much easier.
End of Line
So for one of sports greatest scapegoats it is a
rather sad finale. Patterson will never be able to
retaliate against the numerous verbal and written
punches directed his way in the last decade. He will
have to be satisfied with his display of raw courage
and let that alone trancend his winning or losing.
How well Clay would have done against a physically
fit Patterson will always remain a question mark.
It would, of course, be foolish to let this one instance
overshadow a highly successful ring career in
which Patterson has twice written boxing history.
And so as Floyd drops out of the picture, he certainly
deserves a great deal of credit for his contributions
during thirteen years of dedication to boxing,

loud mouth who couldn't knock out a paralytic. Cassius
himself claimed that Patterson is a good fighter
and that he just couldn't finish him off despite a
sixth round barrage which Floyd withstood, putting a
damper on the myth about his glass jaw. Patterson
also praised Clay as an extremely talented and worthy
champion.
Clay Has Ability
By no means has the previous elaboration on
Patterson's injury and lack of forsight been meant
to detract from Clay's ablity. He has been a vastly
underrated fighter and you would have to give him at
least an even chance with a Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis
or Rock Marciano. However, Cassius has pretty much
run out of formidable challengers early in his carrel'
and it is entirely possible that his vast talent and potential
will never be realized. His next opponent,
WBA champ Ernie Terrell, has a terrific jab but
nothing else. Considering the fact that Clay did nothing
but jab Patterson all night, the Clay - TerrelL
bout sizes up as a slow waltz. For boxing's sake, I
hope not.
I'm still waiting for a slam-bang heavyweight
championship bout with plenty of fighting but I'm
not holding my breath. Perhaps in some small way
Cassius and Floyd made up for the last few disappointing
title bouts, but when the air is finally cleared
of all this championship ballyhoo I come to the same
distinct conclusion: "We wuz robbed."

The new intramural program
at Fairfield has emerged with
overwhelming success. The fine
student spirit and fierce competition
have provided a strong
purpose for success, and many
students have chosen intra·
murals as a means Cor channeling
their excess time. The new
program is far superior to nny
intramural plan that Fairfield
has ever known, and a large
amount of the credit mUSl be
given to Vincent L'Esperancc,
the Student Director of Intramural
Activity.
As student mentor of this
new, diverse athletic program,
Vinny has been successful in
overcoming the complex problems
lhat accompany a new
idea. He is quick to defer the
credit, stating that "the suc·
cess of a new plan depends
upon many people. The intramural
program would have
never gotten off the ground
without the dedication of the
council members." He adds that
"special credit must be given
to the floor managers who used

• • THE STAG, December 9, 1965
When the din finally quieted
at the New Haven Arena, most
ot the spectators were convinced
that Sport. IUuatrated was
right in naming St. Joe's the
nwnber one team in the coun·
try. The well drilled, :sharp
shooting Hawks had overpowered
the Stag Five with a 100-74
victory.
The hard flghting S tag s
matched the Hawks basket for
basket in the torrid shooting
display ot the first ten minutes.
The Bissacamen made several
bids to open up a significant
lead, but St. Joe's managed to
come up with the big play at
the right time to hold the lead
between 3 to 5 points.
Early fouls began to take
their toU on the Stags. Jim
Brown, who was pacing the
attack with 11 points, was
sidelined with his third personal
foul. The famed pressure
defense ot the Hawks went into
action as their big offensive
weapon. A lapse ot poor ball
handling and bad shooting combined
to up the Hawk lead to
eight points.
The Stags baWed to close the
lead, but the sharp shooting of
Matt Goukas kept them in the
hole. With four minutes remalnlng
in the halt St.. Joe's
outscored the Stags 13 to 3
during a two minute stretch
which enabled the Hawks to
up their margin to 18 at the
intermission.
The Stags shot a fine 52%
during the first halt. However,
St. Joe's amazed everyone by
forcing Fairfield mistakes and
taking full advantage ot them.
They hit for a phenomC!nal 6S%
as well as taking most of the
relatively few rebounds during
the half.
WhatevC!r hopes the Stags
had tor a comeback were quickly
squelched by Cliff Anderson
who poured in seven points in
a little over three minutes to
up the Hawk lead to 25. The
never-say-die Stags fought to
cut into the Philadelphians'
lead, but never came within 19
points ot the Hawks.
One of the bright spots in
the second halt was the emergence
ot Saul Crenshaw into
varsity competition. Although
be played only a tittle more
than ten minutes, Sol picked
oft ten: reboundil ~ lead the
club in that department.
