Debating Society
Sponsors .L4ward
The Bellarmine Debating So­ciety
will sponsor the first an­nual
prize debate May 17, 1950,
at Bellarmine Hall. Francis Di­Scala,
John Fray, Stephen Se­densky
and Edward ·Wall will
participate in the debating.
These men were chosen by three
members of the faculty during
tryouts last week.
The subject of the debate is
"Resolved: That the Communist
Party Be Outlawed in the United
States." The administration of
the school will present an award
to the winning debator.
In answer to the challenge by
the Freshman Society, the Sen­ior
Society will engage them in
a debate May 10. The debate will
concern the same question as for
the prize debates.
John Welch and Arthur Sa­pienza
will uphold the affirma­tive
for the freshmen, while
Thomas Flaherty and Edward
Wall will defend both the nega­tive
side and the honor of the
Senior Society.
Thomas Tierney will preside
as chairman over both debates.
I
At last week's meeting of the
Student Council, after discussing
the best possible date for elec-tions
and nominations, the Coun­cil
members voted on the two
new dates. No one opposed the
motion.
One reason for the postpone­ment
is many students feel that
the candidates should have more
time for electioneering and cam­paigning.
All issues revolve
about the selection of a presi­dent
for the first graduating
class. This class will set pr:ece­dent
in the manner they select
their officers. For this reason,
many believe that the extended
period before elections should
aid students in selecting the best
possible candidate.
The procedure and manner of
conducting election set by the
present Juniors will aid the
underclassmen considerably this
year and the years to come. At
the close of the previous nomin­ating
period, there were not a
sufficient number of Freshmen
and Sophomore 'candidates in
several offices. With this added
extension, the election commis­sion
hopes that there will be a
sufficient number for a well­contested
election.
The following men are candi
dates for office:

Public Affairs
Sponsor Rally
Last Tuesday, May 2, the Pub­lic
Affairs Club sponsored an
election rally of the presidential
candidates from the Junior,
Sophomore and F l' e s h man
classes. The rally was a flop inso­far
as the Sophomore and Fresh­men
presidential candidates
were concerned. It was not very
successful as far as the present
Junior class was concerned also.
The rally was not publicized
well enough. There were but a
few students from the Sopho­more
and Freshman class pres­ent.
Not all the presidential c'an­didates
from these two classes
were present. The Juniors made
a slightly better showing in at­tendance.
About fifty Juniors
were present. Since, at that time,
this was to have been the only
rally whereby all candidates
were invited to speak, it is cer­tainly
fortunate that the Student
Council was able· to 'postpone
the elections. More rallies are
now possible.
The candidates for the presi­dency
of the Senior class who
spoke were William Heagney,
James Keating, Joseph Regens­burger.
Rudy Ross and Raymond
Rossomando.
Each candidate spoke for sev­eral
minutes on his platform and
plans. At times a heated ques­tion
and answer period follow:ed.
The students present were allow­ed
to question the candidate
after he finished speaking:

The election date for class officers has been past­poned
to Monday, May 15, according 170 an announce­ment
by James Conklin, president of the Student Ooun­cil.

Stag Day, May 18. will in­troduce
another new pro­gram
to the students at Fair­field.
It is exactly what the

friendship and fun. Members
of the Activities committee
have gone all out in provid­ing
for your entertainment.
Price is $1.00 and it's an all­day
affair.
On Friday evening, May 5, the
Freshman-Sophomore S p l' i n g
Prom was held at the Ritz Ball­room,
Bridgeport, with approxi­mately
one hundred and thirty
couples dancing to the music of
Mal Hallet and his orchestra.
From nine to one, the guests
danced to a variety of tunes, all
of which were played in the
same superb manner.
During a short intermission,
Connie Sternchak of the Sopho­more
Class delighted the dancers
with a rendition of "My Foolish
Heart" and "Bewitched, Both­ered
and Bewildered."
Refreshments were sold dur­ing
the entire da'nce, and coffee
and sandwiches were available
in the Green Room during the
Band's intermission. At /that
time, the orchestra leader could
be seen chatting with some of
the guests.
The dance was a colorful af­fair,
the various shades of the
dresses mingled with the white
jackets, or black tuxedoes pro­viding
a study in contrast. At
the far end of the ballroom a
Fairfield Pennant was hung and
it was used as a background for
the many pictures which were
taken during the evening. Chair­man
Jack Connell and his com­mittee
are to be congratulated
for their capable planning and
direction of t his underclass
dance.

Growing Up
In Christ
Vocation Week-Helpful Hints
In Making A Decision: Prelude:
"In every sound decision with
regard to ourselves, the eye of
our intention ought to be single,
looking only to the end for which
I was created, that is, for the
praise of God Our Lord and the
salvation of my soul. And thus,
whatever I choose ought to be
chosen for this reason, that it
helps me to attain the end for
which I was created. I should
not, therefore, subordinate the
end to some means, but all ways
and means to the end. It hap­pens
that many first choose to
marry, which is a means, and
then. to serve God in the mar­ried
state, though the service of
God is the end. In like manner
there are others who first desire
to possess wealth, and then, to
serve God with them. These do
not go straight to God, but wish
God to come straight to their
disordered affections thus they
make of the end a means, and of
the means an end, so that what
they ought to take first, they
take last."
4 Rules: 3) "Consider the al­ternatives
reflecting on the ad­vantages
which come to me if I
choose this way for the praise of
God and the salvation of my
soul and then, on its disadvan­tages.
Secondly dwell on the
advantages and disadvantages
of not choosing this way."
QUIETLY WEIGH THE 'PROS'
AND 'CONS.'
2) "Pictures a man whom I
have never seen and ask myself
what I, desiring all perfection
for him, would advise him to
choose for the greater knowledge
and love of God in his own heart
and the hearts of others:" DOC­TOR:
HEAL THYSELF!,~i
3) "Imagine myself attiie point
of death and put to myself the
question: 'What, then, would be
the way and the means that I
should like to have chosen at
this time?'" IN THE DAY OF
THY YOU T H REMEMBER
DEATH.
4) "Meditate on what I shall
find myself at the Day of Judg­ment
and ponder how I shall
wish to have decided, then, about
this matter." WHEN ALL ITS
WORK IS DONE THE LIE
SHALL ROT-Patmore.

Talent galore abounded at the
Junior Class Smoker held in
Berchmans Hall Thursday eve­ing.
May 4, 1950. Amid a warm
fraternal atmosphere, those at­tending
were presented with an
evening of entertainment and
the opportunity to meet their
fellow classmates in an informal
gathering. Highlighting the eve­ning
was the presence of the
guest speaker Mr. Hugh Devore,
head football coach at NYU.
Coach Devore, confined with a
virus infection, left his sick-bed
in order to be present at the
inaugural event of Junior Week.
In his talk, Mr. Devore related
humorous incidents he has ex­perienced
or witnessed during
his years as a football coach. He
expressed his pleasure in being
able to attend and stated that it
was because of gatherings such
as the Smoker that close and
lasting friendships were formed.
Ken Stillie, line coach at N.Y.U.
accompanied Mr. Devore and
spoke following his talk. Mr.
Stillie possessed as engaging and
versatile a nature as that of
Coach Devore. He in turn related
humorous situations and events
he has encountered in his years
of coaching with Mr. Devore. In
addition to serving as coaches
at Notre Dame, both men have
been members of its football
teams; Mr. Devore was captain
of the 1934 team.
Opening the program the
Rhythmical Five, a five' piece
combo, entertained to the delight
~nd enjoyment of all. The group
mcluded Paul Zuzick on the
drums, Bob Fitzpatrick on bass
Joe Powers on trumpet, Bob
B.utler on sax, and Jack Curley,
plano.
William Ryan,' capably filling
the role of master of ceremonies
interspersed the various act~
with his witticisms and droll
humor: Two skits were present­ed
pnor to intermission. The
first, "Pioneers in Connecticut"
by Gene Galleta, portrayed the
historical saga of "How Fairfield
Came To Be." Jack Merry's "One
~ord. ~kit" followed devoid of
m!elhglble dialogue and panto­mmed
the timely apprehension
of the "other man." During in­termission,
refreshments were
served at the rear of the audi­torium.
The Rhythmical Five opened
the second half of the program
wIth various selections. Vinny
Cannarella, accompanied by the
band, offered several well-re­ceived
solos.
Probably the most humorous
event o.f the evening was .the
skIt entitled "Classroom Scene."
"Pro.fessor" William Carrigan
presIded over his class of "stu­dents"
·who depicted the various
members of the faculty. Faculty
members present seemed to en­joy
the travesty as well as the
assembled students.
The final skit, ending the en­tertainment,
"The Card Game,"
portrayed what might occur if
men played cards like women
do." Prior to the beginning of
the program and at its conclu­sion,
card games were formed
by the students While others
merely gathered in informal dis­cussion.
The entire evening was
a pleasant one and embodied the
spirit which prevails in an all­men's
college.
The men behind the scenes
who aided in the presentation of
the skits included Jules Vasas,
Martin Turner and Harold Do­'
herty as propmen, and Henry
Karl and Albert Takacs as elec-

"Action" Urged
By Prof. O'Neill
On Tuesday, April 25, Profes­sor
J. M. O'Neill, a renowned
Catholic author and professor of
speech at Brooklyn College was
the third Bellarrriine lecturer to
speak at Fairfield this year. His
topic was "Catholics and Amer­ican
Freedom." According to
Professor O'Neill the past fifteen
years has seen a movement
which proposes to change entire­ly
the religious system of Amer­ica.
Recently a supreme court
judge issued a far reaching de­cision
to the effect that we must
"prohibit any kind of govern­ment
aid to any religious activ­ity."
This statement was made
in reference to the question of
federal ai~ to parochial schools.
Mr. O'Neill calls this, "utter
nonsense." He stated further
that the Supreme Court had com­pletely
ignored legal precedent,
the original intent of the writers
of the Constitution and plain
common sense. He then proceed­ed
to prove systematically each
one of his assertions with defi­nite
and indisputable historical
facts.
The last section of Mr.
O'Neill's talk was spent in re­buttal
of Paul Blanshard's recent
best-selling novel which contains
such phrases as, "Americans are
slaves of the Pope," "The Church
condemns everything modern,"
etc. He explained that such
vicious propaganda cannot be
stopped by pious denials of the
clergy or by the passive defenses
of the laity. To combat it suc­cessfully
there must be a move­ment
led by active, intelligent,
Catholic laymen. He ended his
speech with the statement, "The
graduates of Fairfield University
have the obligation and duty to
become the leaders of such an
organized movement."

CoHege Capers
By FRANK PRIOR
A reporter on the Georgetown
University's HOYA staff tells
this as though he were familiar
with our cafeteria: ~============~
The waitress countered the
patron's query as to what kind
of pie he was eating by asking
him what it tasted like.
When in disgust he snorted
fish-oil, she told him that was the
pineapple pie, the blueberry pie
tasted like onions.
For the Benedicts at Fairfield
University, the IONIAN tells one
that makes for the perfect an­swer
to a nagging wife:.
A fellow who drinks too much
too often was finally cornered
by his wife in a bar where he
was dreamily contemplating a
slug of rye. In a genial mood,
he offered her a sip; in a bellig­erent
one, she took it-and then
coughed and sputtered.
"See!" said the husband. "And
all the while you thought I was
having a good time."
I'm afraid to check on this, but
I wonder if there is a copy of a
book, in our library, such as the
one found in the library at Iona
College. It is entitled Introduc­tion
to Abnormal Children. It
starts: "How do you do?"
Particularly during this time
of .year, what with baseball in
full swing and the desire to
dream of the Red Sox taking the
pennant, this little ditty from S.
Joseph's. VALLEY ECHO is
characteristic of many Stags
around here:
No I lay me down to sleep.
The prof is dry, the lecture's
deep.
If he should quit before I wake,
Gimme a kick for goodness sake.
According to the HAWK, the
Jebs at Rockhurst College mark
as strictly as they do here. One
of the paper's reporters walked
up behind two students and each
was holding an F paper in his
hands. He happened to hear one
of them say, "Just because I
didn't know how to spell Resur­rection,
he gave me an F." The
other student replied, "If you
think that's bad, look at this. I
got an F for adding a comma."
This is what was on the paper,
"Mary rode an ass, like you, see
in the picture on the walL"
Seton Hall's SETONIAN tells
one that is the epitome of spite,
"bite off one's nose to spite one's
face."
Murphy: "What's that in your
pocket?"
Pat: (whispering) "Dynamite!
I'm waiting for Mike. Every time
he sees me he slaps me on the
chest and breaks me pipe. Next
time he does it he'll blow his
hand off."
Catholic University's TOWER
tells pessimistically, but not
characteristically (?), of the high
school grad who said, "I've half
a mind to go to college."
"Well," his teacher decided,
"that's as good as most."

Bill Ryan of the Junior Class for
his work on the skits presented
on College Night and at the Jun­ior

of the Class Prophecy

Here we have good examples of
a monopoly (bookstore), of a
public utility (food) and of com­petitive
bidding (pinochle).
Of course there· are some stu­dents
who will think of nothing
but exams from now until June.
However, I have worked out a
solution to help combat this
space shortage.
Math could also be taught in
the cafeteria. If there is an ash
tray placed on every table, and
the tables are placed two feet
apart, and if there are eight floor
trays, placed 10 feet apart, and
if three-quarters of the student
body smoke, then by use of
simultaneous equations, compute
why half of the students throw
their butts on the floor.

Through the efforts of Vincent
Bartelmo, Walter Lee and John
McNamara, Fairfield University
has made formal application to
join the National Federation of
Catholic College Students.
Journeying to Boston College
on April 22, the three delegates
completed arrangements to have
Fairfield proposed for member­ship
in the New England Region
of the NFCCS by Albertus Mag­nus
College of New Haven.
The occasion for the trip was
the Fourth Regional Congress,
an annual affair in which all
member Catholic Colleges of
New England participate. The
Fairfield men were particularly
anxious to obtain membership
this year in order to take a more
active part in future Regional
and National Conventions.
In addition to a symposium on
Catholic Living, discussion pan­els
of the Congress included
meetings on Catholic Action,
Student Government, Interna­tional
Relations, Labor, Public­ity,
Liturgy, and a live radio
broadcast. High spot of the Con­gress
was the Labor Panel
speech of Secretary of Labor
Maurice Tobin who repeatedly
emphasized the role of leader­ship
which Catholic Colleges
have taken in. combating labor
problems.
The . National Federation of
Catholic College Students is the
official representative instru­ment
of the largest Catholic
student body in the world. In­augurated
in 1937 as a national
body, the first New England
Regional meeting was held in
1947. At present 19 colleges are
affiliated with the' Regional
Group and over 150 with the
national group.

TO VOTE FOR
Eight new track records were
established at Alumni Field in
Saturday's track meet. Strong
Adelphi College thrashed both
Iona College and Fairfield Uni­versity
in the three way meet.
Adelphi rolled up a total of
75% points against Iona's 39 and
Fairfield's 25%. Some students
pointed out the fact that Fair­field
had proms for all classes
just the night before. This may
account for Fairfield's low score.
Adelphi College has remained
undefeated in dual meet com­petition
since 1947. They record­ed
their 19th consecutive victory
Saturday.
Summary of new track rec­ords
established Saturday:
Alexander of Adelphi ran the
440 in 53 seconds. The Punch of
Iona ran the 880 in 2:06.5. Car­ton
of Iona ran the mile in 4:54.6.
Burns of Iona ran the two mile
in 10:38. Knodt of Adelphi did
5 ft., 8 in. in the high jump.
Sixon of Iona did 20 ft., 3 in. in
the broad jump. Martini did 47
ft. 2% in. in the shot put. Adel­phi
(Mintz, Elliot, Jacobs and
Alexander) won the one mile
relay in 3:40.

A full two weeks have passed
since the first annual College
Night and har~lly a day passes
without someone mentioning the
"FINE LOGIC" that was dis­played.
To Paul McCarthy and
Steve Czel, co-chairmen of the
affair, we owe our heartiest
thanks. To the Dramatic Society
for their exceptionally "FINE
LOGIC," words will not suffice.
It would be useless to single out
anyone individual, for they were
all perfect. Their uproarious
hour will long be remembered
by those in attendance.
The only difference that exists
between John Heckler and Ed
Sullivan at the moment is writ­ing
for the New York News. Plus
fifty thousand dollars. But what
is money, John?
The "Wild Goose Chase" by
Ed Wasil could best be classified
as funny. It seems, however,
many opportunities for humor­ous
situations were overlooked.
But the boys did well with what
they had.
The amateur hour may best
be described as "The corn is
green" or "Why Joe Miller is
dead these many years." Scan­lan
and Perry, thought of every­thing
from water games to pie
throwing. May I say, "Frank,
you were never lovelier" than
with that peaches and cream
complexion. Or was it meringue?
The two brightest kernels in
this hour of corn were Joe Forte
and Jack Sullivan. Both display­ing
exceptionally fine finger
work to great advantage. While
the bad taste lingering in the
mouths of the audience at the
close of the performance was
removed by the generous supply
of jellybeans, what I want to
know is, WHO TOOK ALL
THE BLACK ONES?
