Altitude Record
In an interview with Larry
Skane, a senior, who co-super­vises
(with Donald Johnson)
the mathematics division of the
project, it was learned that ac­cording
to preliminary compu­tations,
the rocket should ap­proach
a peak altitude of twelve
miles before gravitational force
returns it to the earth. If these
tentative computations are cor­rect,
the Fairfield U. rocket will
3et a new student altitude re­cord,
surpassing the current
ten-mile peak attained by sev­eral
student groups. However,
Mr. Jalbert stressed, "If we
succeed in breaking the altitude
record, fine - but that is defi­nitely
not our primary inten­tion.
To build a rocket capable
of such an altitude, while a
major task, nevertheless re­mains
but a feat of engineer­ing.
This is why we have pack­aged
the nose-cone with enough
electronic apparatus to perform
about twelve high altitude ex­periments,
thereby making it an
undertaking suitable for physi­cists
and mathematicians."
The nose-cone will weigh
only about five pounds but will
be capable of performing simul­taneously,

Site Chosen For
Festival Dance
Laddin's Terrace in Stamford,
Conn., a twenty minute ride
from the campus via the Con­necticut
Turnpike, has been se­lected
as the site for the 1961
Dogwood Festival Formal Dance,
according to Edward Fitzgerald
and John A. McCall, co-chair­men
of the affair.
The formal dance, which sig­nals
the start of the spring
triduum, will be held on Fri­day.
May 12. An oriental theme
has been chosen for the event.
Highlighting the dance will
be the coronation of the queen
of the weekend. Her selection
will follow a preliminary con­test
(held a week before the
festival) in which members of
the student body will vote. The
final selection will be made
from four finalists who will be
interviewed by the judges the
afternoon of the formal dance.
Special plans are now being
made to obtain new tuxedos to
be rented at a "very reasonable
price."
Following the dance, a post­prom
party will be sponsored
by the Knights of Columbus
Ignatian Council #4203. Further
details concerning the party
were not available at press­time.
A proposed $21 package deal
for the entire weekend is slated
to go on sale later this month.

FIFTY-EIGUT MEN
ON DEAN'S LIST
The University Republican~-------------­Club
is slated to receive Town
Committee Posts according to
club president, William Sangio­vanni.
In a recent interview Mr.
Sangiovanni stated that with
the election of Mr. William
Jascko as Republican Town
Chairman the University Club
is certain to take an active part
in town poEtics.
At a Lincoln Day Dinner in
Fairfield both Bill Sangiovanni
and Jack Morrison were honor­ed
guests and it was at this
time that the Fairfield students
learned of the new role which
their club will play in town
politics. After the dinner, Mr.
J oscko revealed his plans to
appoint three Fairfield Univer­sity
Republicans to positions on
the town committee and its
various boards. The posts would
be permanent so that they
would not be lost after gradua­tion.
It is important to note ac­cording
to Mr. Sangiovanni,
that this is the first time such
a tping has happened in state
politics and is quite an honor
to the University Club. At pres­ent
the third person to receive
a post is not known.
In further remarks, Mr.
Joscko also praised the club for
its publication "Campus Re­view"
and noted the election of
club member Ed Sullivan, as

A ship clears the Suez Canal
in about 15 hours. It takes
slightly less time to walk from
Gonzaga Hall to Loyola Hall
during a rain-storm.
Since the horror of canned music has now invaded even
the lobbies of Broadway theatres (to say nothing of super
markets, restaurants, gas stations, and prisons), the time has come
to give a long loud scream about the mis-use of music on stage.
The only difficulty about long loud screaming is that there
is so much "music" floating around the air that all the venom
be sapped from it by a rinky-tink background.
Enough of canned music. Far too much of canned music,
in fact. I am disturbed by music's invasion of the serious drama.
I don't mean by this that I deny any room for a melange of
genres; I do mean that much of the music on Broadway today
is not the product of the playwright's imagination, but rather
a commercial gesture made by the producer or director.
The source of this new development seems to be the suc­cessful
integration of music and idea in "The Connection." In
Gelber's play, music-like Reinhardt's light-becomes an actor,
and contributes to the devolopment of a plot and character. The
integration is accomplished in two ways: first, by the tone of
the music and second, by the fact that the characters are them­selves
musicians. .
An equally successful use of music was seen in Brendan
Behan's antic effort, "The Hostage." Although much of Joan
Littlewood's direction was open to question, particularly in that
she chose to underplay Behan's more serious comments, she did
handle the difficult interplay of music and drama.
Perhaps one could attribute the success of the interaction
of the two arts to the fact tha Behan planned that song be an
integral part of his drama.
Another Irish effort in which music and drama "functioned"
as a unit was the Phoenix production of "The Plough and the
Stars." This too was marked by the fact that the author planned
that music be a necessary element in the play.
These comments have generally stressed the successful uses
of music on the stage. The unsuccessful efforts are of equal im­portance,
however, and the chief of these is another of Miss
Littlewood's directorial efforts, "A Taste of Honey." Like "The
Connection," the music used in a progressive jazz, but unlike
the Gelber play, the music seems strangely out of place through­out
the production. Miss Delaney has written a delicate and
oddly beautiful play of life in an English industrial city. The
attempt to strengthen the mood by means of music is a disap­pointment
in that the audience is forced to be conscious of the
music, as music, and not as an element of the drama.
Although "A Taste of Honey" is successful, it is successful
in spite of the musical addenda, not because of it.

Letters to the Editor
Kenneth Tynan vs.
Senate Subcommittee
By JOSEPH FLYNN
Mr. Kenneth Tynan, a sub­ject
of her royal majesty,
Queen Elizabeth II, saw fit on
one of his visits to America to
allow his name to be affixed
to an advertisement printed in
The New York Times, sponsor­ed
by the Fair Play to Cuba
Committee, advising Americans
to 'be kind to Dr. Fidel Castro
and his government. Mr. Tyn­an,
as one of the signers, was
called before the Senate Sub­committee
on Internal Security
so that the subcommittee might
ascertain whether or not the
advertisement had violateg the
Foreign Agents Registry Act,
which act requires that all
agents of foreign governments
in this country register as such.
Mr. Tynan was displeased
that he should be called before
such a committee to be ques­tioned
by it and in Harper's
Magazine wrote of his annoy­ance
at being questioned by the
Senate Subcommittee on In­ternal
Security, and its chair­man
Senator Dodd, about his
relations with this Fair Play
committee and certain other of
his actions. He felt that there
was no reasonable justification
for such questions. Presumably
Mr. Tynan gained some remu­neration
for his literary effort
in Harper's.
J ustication?
The thought is prevalent in
some quarters now that perhaps
there was some justification
for calling signers of the ad-
( Cont. on Page 9. Col. I)
To the Editor:
I should like to inform any
students who may be interested
that the St. Cecilia Academy
will probably be disbanded
soon, unless it enjoys a near­miraculous
renaissance in the
very near future. The lack of
interest in the Academy has
been remarkable (if not consist­ent).
The precise cause of the
Academy's decline is hard to
trace; perhaps it is my fault,
but, unfortunately, the people
who have stopped coming to the
meetings did not bother to
make suggestions before giving
up. Very likely, the Academy
is not the best possible answer
to the problem of encouraging
interest in classical music at
Fairfield, but something should
be done, and we are trying,
anyway.
I am inclined to think that a
person has missed something
important if he has gone
through a liberal-arts college
without acquiring some inter­est,
however casual, in music,
dance, poetry, painting, and
other forms of "culture." The
St. Cecilia _Academy has tried
to make its particular kind of
contribution to the enlighten­ment
of people who, like the
present members of the Acad­emy,
do not know everything
about music but are interested
in learning. It seems a pity that
there are only two or three
people, in a student body of
more than a thousand, who
have time and inclination to
listen to fine music on Monday
evenings.
Looking back on our suggestion of last week that Public
Affairs Club president Tierney utilize the "valuable reservoir
of speakers to be found among the faculty" as interim lecturers
until a treasury could be collected to pay for outside talent, we
find the statement's awkward phrasing has caused wide-spread
misinterpretation and even an ad hominem from an instructor's
desk..
It was not our intention that our statement be interpreted to
mean that faculty speakers be used to build up a speaker treasury
and then dropped in favor of outside lecturers. Rather, we believe
that those professors who are interested in the effect that a suc­cessful
Public Affairs Club lecture series would have on the
intellectual climate at Fairfield, should make up the major por­tion
of the early lectures. The kitty (and this was our suggestion)
formed by these early lectures would be used to pay future
speakers - be they from Xavier or the Sorbonne.

In Social Consciousness
Another College Fad?
By JOHN FAULKNER
ACP-Southern Methodist University's CAMPUS tells the
story of a sit-in. '
Two Negro theology students at the Dallas ,Texas, school
entered a bus station restaurant to see if they would be served.
(The day before they had bought bus tickets there, then were
refused lunch counter service, then had their tickets refunded.)
They were supported by a group of white SMU students, about
half of them theology students, the rest undergraduates.
A spokesman for them told the CAMPUS: "Allen and
Thomas (the Negroes) went in first. We would not have made
an appearance had they been served. But they were refused and
SMU students began to sit down."
When they (the white students) were asked to be served,
they said, "Yes, when you serve our friends." The students. had
agreed to "retreat" if any semblance of violence b~came eVlde~t
during the demonstration. One of the Negroes said he and hiS
friend were neither served nor asked if they wanted service.
Th restaurant company vice-president told the CAMPUS
his story: that 25 youths identifying themselves as SMU students
came in and occupied booths, tables and stools "with not more
than two at each table.
"An attempt was made to serve the students. Each said they
did not want anything or that we would have to serve them first,
referring to the two colored boys," he said. .
"We took the position that customers have no authonty to
tell us what to do first. We were ready to take their orders but
customers cannot tell us what to do. We told them it was a place
of business and we would appreciate their orders. But they just
sat there. They did not act like college students."
"... like college students." That covers quite a lot of ground.
There were the college students in Hungary, for example who
found their education terminated rather abruptly in 1956 after
fighting for social justice. Probably he meant the "college stu­dent"
typified by the nationwide distinction of the students of
St. Mary's College who last year set a record by painstakingly
packing themselves into a telephone booth. .
If so, we reject his ideal of college students (as we do hiS
interpretation of his relationship to the customer). We com­mend
the SMU students for not contenting themselves with he
injustice of their surroundings. In this spirit we would remind
our readers that Woolworth's persists in their discrimination in
the deep south, and call to their attention the refusal ~f the ABC­Paramount
theatre chain to admit Negroes in their southern
movie houses.
Filling phone booths with collegians was a short-lived fad.
We would be very sorry to have to admit the same of last year's
laudable social consciousness.

LOOKING BACK
BURN THAT MIDNIGHT OIL!
The sight of devoted students sprinting over the University's
frozen tundra each night toward the Savarin restaurant with an
equally devoted. campus cop hot on their heels, brings up the
inevitable WHY? A quick check of the 1961 Student Handbook
(page 15, paragraph six) provides a ready explanation: "On class
days, which are followed by class days, 'lights out' is at 11:00
p.m. for Freshmen and 11:15 p.m. for Upperclassmen."
Overlooking the paradox that seniors are permitted the
generous consideration of an added fifteen minutes study time
over their freshmen confreres, the fact remains that most stu­dents
(regardless of their class) find the bare three hours per
night hardly adequate. This electricity-saving ruling that finds
our ivyless walls shrouded in darkness every week before mid­night,
has been a lively topic of discussion among the dormers. Un­fortunately,
thus far, discussion is as far as it's gotten. This ap­parent
lack of resolution on the part of resident students, we
feel, is due to the absence of an adequate voice; a voice ideally
to be found in an active Resident Council.
It is not the purpose of these comments to seek a scape­goat
for the mysterious disappearance of the Resident Council
last spring, but rather to urge its reincarnation and through it
a resolution of the "BEDDIE-BYE" problem.
We feel certain that an intelligent student interest mani­fested
through an active Resident Council will bring about a
realization on the part of the faculty that the restraining reins
of the present lights policy are no longer necessary.

THE
WHETSTONE
PETE HOUSER presents a plaque to Bob Monk '61, second
from right, for the latter's work as 1960 president of the New
York Metropolitan Area Club. Newly elected president Jim
O'Brien, right, and Brian Slayne witness the presentation.
Young people tend to credit the distaste in their elders for
"moder!)." art to a prudish conservatism toward novelty in any
form. This arises from two false notions. First, all art has been
"modern" at one time or another and many ancient "moderns"
were accepted ,praised, and patronized during the course of their
creative lives. Secondly, modern art is not merely contemporary
art but also includes art dating from the last twenty-five years
of the nineteenth century. But the criticism of contemporary
art is applied as much to a Van Gogh as to a Picasso, although
the acknowledged genius of the former inhibits slightly the ad­verse
opinions of his work. Novelty is not the objection. Van
Gogh painted in that last quarter of the nineteenth century and
his works still repulse the anti-moderns.
The "Reality" Theory
Aproported comment on modern art by a professor gives
a more precise objection: Modern, or non-representational,
art is bad because it distorts objective reality." Here is the
argument as open and, fortunately, as false as any could be. This
comment is from a teacher of philosophy. An allied field, psy­chology,
provides an excellent tool with which to examine the
cencept.
In a Rorschach test the subject is asked to assign meaning
to a standard set of meaningless blots. This is an application
of Gestalt psychology which attempts to derive knowledge of the
subject by analyzing his reaction to patterns and his relational
mechanisms. The ink blot test poses no challenge to the intellect
as a knowing or judging faculty. It is a simple exploitation of
imagination and, as such, is approached without trepidation. The
mind of a man in an authoratative position could subject itself to
such a "game" but that some blots when confronted with non­representational
art. His ego does not suffer from non-competi­tive
games but art is a serious thing to this man and the chance
that he might evaluate it poorly or wrongly is great. The patterns
and relationships of this art are, to him, a challenge to his
authority and perhaps, he thinks, even an insult to his intellect.
He dismisses the whole grand area with as cursory and general
a remark as he things will maintain his authority and convinces
himself that his opinion is a considered and, if he is as proud as
most authorities, a profound one. This, however, is not judg­ment.
It is merely rationalization.
Confused Realities And An Explanation
Art is not subject to the arbitrary denial of its value. To
claim that a work "distorts objective reality" is an absolute
confusion. Art is no more the reality it represents than an apple
is an elephant. They are distinct. In a sense, it is representational
painting which distorts reality. Surely, the Mona Lisa was a
three, not a two-dimensional human being. Non-representational
art offers the reality of itself to its viewer. It depends upon no
imitative chicanery with color and tone to be misconstrued as
"reality." There is objective reality in color and form. To deny
this would eliminate the testimony of sight and touch.
Adversity to non-representational art lies mainly in the
barren associative resources of the individual or ·repressions of
such resources. The latter is an ego defense mechanism not un­common
to those who are insecure in their positions. Non-com­mitment
is the other side of this repression coin. But reactive
commitment is as commonly manifested. That such unfounded
opinions should carry the influence of a college professor is sad.
But art can take solace in the brevity of the university years
and the knowledge that the influence of those years, though
formative, is hardly final.

Rochester, Mich. - ,J.P.)
Starting next fall, Michigan
S tat e University Oakland's
freshmen will graduate in two
and two-thirds years instead of
four..They will do so because
they will be attending classes
the year-round under a plan
voted by the faculty recently
and approved by the Board of
Trustees. The plan provides for
three 15-week trimesters, com­pared
with the normal college
year of two 16-week semesters.
The three trimesters would
run from September 5, the day
after Labor Day, to December
20; from January 3 to April 13,
and from April 23 to August 5.
This will mean seven weeks of
vacation annually instead of
twenty. The university would
be closed during the remainder
of August.
A trimester plan, Chancellor
D. B. Varner said, will make
it possible to accommodate one­third
more students with the
same size plant and the same
size faculty. A trimester plan,
rather than four quarters or
some other plan was chosen,
said Chancellor Varner, to
avoid any chance that the extra
term would be regarded as a
summer program, and therefore
less important or less rigorous.
Faculty members would be
paid for the extra term at a
usual summer-session rate of
three percent of their annual
salary per week. This would
mean a 45 per cent boost in
income for the 16-week period.
No professor would be compell­ed
to participate, and none
would be permitted to teach
more than five consecutive
terms. The other term would be
spent in professional develop­ment
of some kind.
The trimester plan has been
in operation at the University
of Pittsburgh since September.
Officials there regard their ex­perience
as successful so far.
Several other institutions also
have the plan under study.

-------------0 New York, N.Y.-(I.P)- A
research psychologist declared
r e c e n t I y that "programmed
learning" - known by its critics
as "machine teaching"-breaks
open the bottleneck of the stu­dent-
teacher ratio which is of
such "critical dimensions in ed­ucation
today." The r e is no
doubt, he said, that program­med
learning is effective.
Dr. Donald A. Cook, research
psychologist at the National
Institute of Mental Health, out­lines
his views in a recent issue
of the Columbia University
Graduate Faculties Newsletter.
He states that traditional hu­manists,
examining the new
concept, express concern "which
seems to blend the prophecy
that 'it won't work' with the
fear that it will." Nobody ex­pects
the teachers to be replaced,
the article said, yet there is un­certainty
as to how their roles
may be altered in the new situ­ation.
"The evidence so far," de­clared
Dr. Cook, "is that effec­tive
programming m a k e s for
more creative students, and the
teacher may rightly suspect that
his status-giving control over
his subject may be challenged."
The sob e r evaluation of the
limits and optimal conditions
governing the place of program­med
learning awaits careful re­search,
the expert added.
The report enumerates the ad­vantages
of the program that
have become clear since its in­ception:
1. Programmed learning al­lows
the student to know
where he stands at all
times, and quickly enough
for the appraisal to effect
the behavior that produced
it.
2. The cycle can occur dozens
-or even one hundred or
more - times an hour in
which teaching and testing
are blended into one pro­cess.
The teacher, f r e e d
from drudgery, can offer
the student individual at­tention.
3. The student proceeds ac­cording
to his own ability.
The dull student is not em­barrassed
and the gifted
student is not held back.
If a student is ill, he doesn't
fall behind, and if he moves
·to another school, he takes
his program with him.
4. If the machine records er­rors
a teacher can inspect
the student's record before
conferring with him, and
can thus know the particu­lar
difficulty.
In some machine models, the
article points out, the response
cannot be altered while other
specialized versions will not
advance the program if an an­swer
is incorrect. The most ad­vanced
devices will shunt the
student into special remedial
programs if he lists a wrong
answer. Some machines keep an
automatic tally of right and
wrong responses.

CRUSADERS OVERPOWER
STAGS, 122-94
Employing a pro type offense
by means of a very effective
fast break, Fairfield's Jesuit
"cousins" from Massachusetts
snapped the Stags eight game
winning streak and increased
theirs to six with their im­pressive
win.
Led by the spectacular shoot~
ing of their infamous (to us) trio
of Jack Foley (40 points), Tim
Shea (31 points) and George
Blaney (22 points), the Crusad­ers
would have been a match
for their own Boston Celtics
that night much less an upset­minded
Fairfield squad.
The game itself rewrote the
Crusader record book and was
the highest point total ever re­corded
against a Stag five. The
Crusaders jumped off to a
quick 12-1 lead and were never
headed. This early momentum
of the Cross had a definite bear­ing
on the way Fairfield was
forced to play. Trying to get
back in the game the Stags ran
with the Cross and had to play
their brand of ball.
Bob Hutter turned in one of
his best games of the season,
shining in defeat with 26 points.

By DICK BADOLATO
Every successful team whether basketball, football, or base­ball
must have a "take charge" guy. By this I mean the guy
who runs the team, comes through in the clutch, and is their
most valuable player. This week's "Red Stag" personality is the
winner of the Marlboro Most Valuable Player Award and is
none other than Bobby Jenkins.
Bob comes from Manhattan, New York and attended St.
Francis Prep in Brooklyn. In his sophomore year Jenks played
on perhaps one of the greatest high school aggregates ever to
come out of New York City. His team that year, won the New
York City Championship and the Washington Invitation Tourna­ment
twice defeating St. Annes now Archbishop Molloy. Such
college stars as Tom and Sam Stith, Bill Shin, and Jerry Cahill
along with Bob comprised the team. In his junior year at St.
Francis, .Jenks led his team to the CHSAA Championship and
throughout his high school career averaged better than 12 points
a game.
From the start of his freshman year at Fairfield, Jenks
has been the guy, game in and game out, who has led the Stags
to victory. It was his game ending shot in the VB game his
freshman year which climaxed a great win; also his 35 rebounds
against Yale which insured victory. This year it was Jenkins
who hit 10 for 11 shots in the Brooklyn College game; grabbed
13 rebounds against LIV helping to clinch the Tri-State League;
scored 33 points against a strong St. Francis team which kept
the Red Stag winning streak alive.
Offense is not Bobby's only asset. He has held such stars
as "Puddy Sheehan of Georgetown to 7 points, Bob Lamel of
VB to 6 points and Willie Jones of American University to 16
points. Besides these few highlights it is his constant hustle and
desire which has helped pave the way tor Fairfield's great season
this year.
Bob is a marketing major and is currently Vice President
of membership in the Marketing Club. He is also married and
lives with his wife Pat and their two children Robert junior 14
months old and Valerie age 3 in their Bridgeport apartment. As
to Bob's future plans he would like to enter the business world
after graduation, and If his court attitude and hustle are any
indication to future success then there should be many good
days for the Jenkins family.

campus concerts a fe~ weeks
ago and will spend the remain­der
of the season touring C·on­necticut
and the surrounding
states, including Jersey City,
N.J., site of the annual inter­collegiate
Glee Club Competi­tion
this year.
Versatile
Hailed as one of the best
Glee Clubs in the history of the
school, the club has succeeded
in presenting an assortment of
songs to please an audience of
all - ages. Mr. Simon. Harak,
club director, has selected an
appropriate variety of songs to
show the versatility and range
of the organization during Sun-day's
concert. ,.'
The club, ninety members
strong, sings such numbers as
"Let There Be Music," "Or­pheus"
and "Medley from Pa­jama
Game," also "Adoramus
Te Christe" phis "Parking
Space and The Deaf Old Wom­an."
From the response of the au­diences
so far, the favorite
number once again seems to be
"Russian Picnic."
Groups to Perform
Additional entertainment is
supplied by the Campus Min­strels
and Bensonians.
The Campus Minstrels have
increased the number of singers
in their g-roup to about l1fteen,
and this year the group is
bringing back the old favorite,
"Johnny Schmoker." Their other
arrangements inClude "Won't
You Sit Down," and "Rigoletto
Quartette."
The four men who make up
the Bensonians have seemingly
improved over last year, and are
presenting a selection of songs
that are continually pleasing
the audience. Besides singing
with the Glee Club, this group
is booked by many places for
private appearances.
Following the concert at
Branford, the Glee Club will
travel to Troup Junior High
School in New Haven, Mar. 10,
and then to a combined concert
with Emmanuel College at
Notre Dame High School in
Bridgeport, Mar. II.

Ignatian Council #4203 of
the Knights of Columbus of
Fairfield University will conduct
an essay contest to mark April
as Civic Month. To bring about
a better understanding and ap­preciation
of the American way
of life and with it an aware­ness
of the duties of American
citizenship, 'The Catholic Role
in Civil Government" has been
chosen as topic for the entries.
The contest is open only to un­dergraduate
students of the
Univer5'ity.
A $25 government bond will
be awarded to the essay judged
as being the best by a commit­tee
made up of faculty mem­bers
of the University. A second
place cash prize of $10 will also
be awarded. Presentation of
prizes will be made at the an­nual

Club Hailed As One Of Best;
Starts Touring Season Sunday
Council Discusses
lUasses, Formosa
At the· last meeting of the
Student Council, the question
was raised as to the possibility
of additional Sunday Masses
in Loyola chapel. Through dis­cussion
it was found that
most students are in favor
of at least one Mass being said
between the times of the present
two. They felt that the existing
times are awkward, being either
too early and too late. In an at­tempt
to remedy this situation,
a committee has been appointed
to inquire whether a 10 a.m.
Mass might be initiated, accord­ing
to Council spokesman Al
Westerfield.
Plans are now in progress for
a day of recollection to be held
Sunday for the student leaders
of the University. Plans are at
this writing only tentative, but
include Mass and Communion
in McAuliffe chapel. a series of
conferences in Loyola chapel.

St. Mike's Leads List
In Foreign Enrollment
Washington - (CIN) - St.
Michael's College in Winooski,
Vt., is the only New England
college to rank in the top ten
US Catholic colleges in enroll­ment
of foreign students. The
information was revealed in a
report by the National Catholic
Educational Council.
The NCEC reported a total
of 5.055 foreign students in at­tendance
at Catholic institutions
of higher education. Totals
ranged from Georgetown Uni­versity's
high of 428 to the zero
enrollment indicated by four­teen
colleges.
Average number of alien stu­dents
at institutions which had
them at all was 23. Besides St.
Michael's, nine other schools re­ported
more than 100.
Only about 23 percent of the
foreign students are dependent
on financial assistance, accord­ing
to the NCEC figures. The
vast majority of the group was
either self-supporting or being
aided only by family sources.

ASPECT
The varied political sentiments which during an election
emerge among those in the process of being educated - the
non-voters - makes one wonder just why opinions and political
feelings differ so greatly in our hallowed academic institutions.
What could possibly cause students to so vehemently defend
their own and tear down another's political views?
The "typical" student is pictured in the minds of the un­knowing
as a liberal (meaning to them something like a socialist).
We know of the droves of "straight-down-the-middle" conserva­tives
opposing said liberals in the often-heated political dis­cussions
among those who are interested or concerned enough
to acquaint themselves with political fact and fancy. The basic
picture of politics today seems to be the opposition of the ex­treme
positions in political parties - the liberal and the conser­vative
positions. This is reflected on the college level in a much
less subtle way. Most people laugh this off as some sort of
"healthy sign." But if it is only a healthy sign of something,
why so much vehemence on the students' part to the exclusion
of the opposition view?
I feel it is because politically-concerned and politically-in­volved
Americans are gradually splitting up into two factions
based on ideology and not administerial views.
These splits are not the simple administerial splits of our
Founding Fathers, or the one-question splits of the last century
(gold, tariffs). They are serious ideological splits involving the
treatment and administration of masses of people not dIrectly
concerned with government, but the complete concern of the
government. The two standardized views which are here ~ome­what
exaggerated for emphasis are basically that of the lIberal
who says "spend and all will be well" and that of the conserva­tive
who says "work and all will be well."
Their means toward the common goal of the betterment
of the American people would exclude a mutual cooperation in
working toward this goal. However, even this common goal is a
fuzzily d~fined thing, whose definition again depends upon
whether you are a liberal or a conservative. If we move into
the area where the split will become almost black-and-white,
we will hinder our chances of ever achieving any goal.
If the college student is encouraged to further this split
by engaging in positive intense action for his side, then we
may reach this split in the political sphere sooner than we think
it could happen; after all, the politician of tomorrow is today's
collegian.
Speculation? Yes, but not, I'm afraid, the idle kind, for such
a split as I have described could develop into a serious power
struggle which would make us extremely vulnerable to any
nation wishing to capitalize on our weakness.

Petry: P'luralism
Pro-Con Aspects
An audience of over seventy
students and faculty members
heard Mr. Walter Petry of the
University History department
speak on the subject "Educa­tion
in a Pluralistic Society;
The Role of the Federal Gov­ernment"
last Monday night in
Canisius 101. The talk initiated
a new series sponsored by the
campus unit of NFCCS on the
subject of pluralism.
Having praised the United
States as the finest example of
a pluralistic society and con­trasting
it with the chaotic and
strife-ridden furor of several
European states, Mr. Petry
described' American Pluralism
as holding "no presupposition
to good citizenship." A national
good and a national necessity,
pluralism has its harmful ef­fects,
too. It contributes to di­visiveness
and has encouraged
the growth of the selfish indi­vidualism
which has so sapped
our national vigor.
Rejecting "statism" as a so­lution
to the baneful effects of
divisiveness, Mr. Petry en,dors­ed
the appeal made by Cardinal
Cushing in his inauguration
invocation. (Cardinal Cushing
prayed for a turning to his per­sonal
responsibility as individ­uals,
as Americans as citizens
of the world, and as children
of God, to enlarge the concept
of the common good and to im­plement
by personal sacrifice
the high ideals of our national
purpose.
Mr. Petry envisioned Catholic
schools as an excellent means
of preserving pluralism, but
questioned whether Catholics

balance between the two ele­ments.
The society was created be­cause
a need for good cultural
entertainment on our liberal
arts campus was recognized;
and by making the work of
young artists of the American
tradition available to the stu­dents,
the opportunity to see
the continuity of America's cul­tural
heritage will be among
the benefits.
Commenting on the motiva­tion
for the SAS, faculty mod­erator
Mr. Rudolph Landry
said; "Too ~requently, art - tra­ditional
and contemporary ­confined
to texts alienates the
students. Art presented to the
students on the stage is more
immediate and therefore more
significant. We hope our pro­gram
will contribute to person­al
and communal enrichment.
Student Interest
"The fact that this organiza­tion
sprang from the ideas of
students of all four classes indi­cates
a genuine interest in and
a need for good cultural enter­tainment
on this Liberal Arts
campus," he added.
A contributing factor to the
plans of the group is the avail­ability
of an excellent auditor­ium
on campus. By taking ad­vantage
of its facilities and by
presenting shows on week
nights, the society hope to be
able to bring first-rate cultural
entertainment within the reach
of all the students.
The members of the society
plan to offer the students a wide
ranging glimpse of genuine
folk arts, a chance to see the
creative forces of our Ameri­can
culture. They hope that in
any yearly period a student will
be able to see outstanding ex­amples
of American from sing­ers
to classic moving pictures.
It is particularly appropriate
that the year's program will
begin with the appearance of
two folk music artists. In no
other art form is the continuity
of our culture shown in a bet­ter
way. What is now known
as folk music was the popular
music of another time. Even
today, composers rely on con­temporary
events as the basis
for song ideas, and much of the
music that is heard today will
be the folk music of tomorrow.
The story of an entire era, an
attitude, an event or philosophy
can be described with humor
pathos, romance or wit through
the folk ballad.
MATH.PHYSICS

ranging from the simple mea­surements
of the vehicles ve­locity
and acceleration during
the flight to the measurement of
atmospheric radiation and di­electic
strength of the air at
various high altitudes. Per­formance
data will be recorded
on tape and then broadcast via
a radio transmitter to a receiv­er
and special student-built de­coding
devices on the ground.
Permission for the use of the
transmitter has already been
obtained from the Federal Com­munications
Commission.
Credit for the expert mini­turization
of the experiments
and the electronic gadgetry of
the nose-cone goes to the five­man
electronic team of Robert
Keough (division head), Peter
Lenard, Jim Stanizeski, John
Lesko and Phil Burns (the sole
junior in the division.) Mr.
Keough told this reporter that
while miniturization was the
major problem, it certainly
wasn't the only one that his
group had to solve. "In order to
maintain constant working con­ditions
under the variables of
vibration, humidity, tempera­ture,
.and pressure, we had to
encapsule the electronic com­ponents
in a silicone foam. Also,
since we are running short of
money, we may have to re-de­.
sign entirely our firing and
telemetering circuits. This could
be both difficult and time con­suming."
Parachute
The rocket itself, designed by
senior mathematician Donald
Johnson, will be of the Polaris
missile type, standing a little
ever six feet high and having
a mean radius of about twelve
inches. The solid propellant for
the student rocket will be the
same dry fuel used in its Po­laris
counterpart, ammonium
perchlorate. Co-supervisor To­karski
pointed out that "be­cause
of the valuable electronic
apparatus enclosed in the rock­et's
nose-cone, one of the jun­iors,
John Wedemeyer, has de­signed
and is presently con­structing
a recovery mechanism
which will safely separate the
nose-cone from the main body
of the rocket and parachute it
to earth at a pre-determined
altitude."
To the layman, this phase
may appear to be the final step
in the program, and if success­ful
should terminate the work
of the project's members. How­ever,
this is not the case. After
firing and recovery of the T(;lck­et,
its performance must be
adequately evaluated to deter­mine
if any significant results
were obtained. This process of
exhaustive _analysis and evalu­ation
will be put into the hands
of the Mathematics division
Larry Skane, Peter Menegu~
and Richard Proto.
At this writing, financial
assistance has been spotty. The
initial funds obtained from the
Math-Physics Society's treasury
have been supplemented by
checks of various amounts from
such companies as General
E~ectric, Aircraft Accessories,
VItramon Corp., Raybestos and
Bridgeport Brass. However Mr.
Tokarski grimly pointed out,
"We. are now working on a day
to day basis because of the fi­nancial
insecurity.
