'We areineRt/cd10fee!lrz(erior
What I mean is that you can't always tell what's inside a
package by looking at the outside. (Sometimes, of course, you
can. Take Marlboro Cigarettes, for example. Just one glance
at that jolly red-and-white package-so bright and pert - so
peat but not {!;audy-so perfectly in place whether you are at
a formal dinner or a beach picnic-so invariably correct for
any time, clime, or condition-one look, I say, at this paragon
of packs and you know it has to contain cigarettes of absolute
perfection. And you are ri{!;ht! That pure white Mar:lboro
filter, that fine, flavorful blend of Marlboro tobaccos, will
(!;ive you a smoke to make the welkin ring, whatever that is.
So those of you who have just been sitting and admiring your
Marlboro packs since the beginning of the semester, why don't
you open a pack and light one? Light a ci{!;arette, I mean­not
'the packall;e. Then you can settle back and smoke your
Marlboro and, at the same time, continue to gaze rapturously
at the pack. Thus you wjll be ,twice as happy as you are if
that is possible.)
But I digress. Let us turn now to the second category­mental
inferiority. A lot of people think they are dumber than
other people. This is not so. It must be remembered that there
are different kinds of intelligence. Take, for instance, the clas­sic
case of the Sigafoos brothers, Claude and Sturbridge, stu­dents
at Wake Forest. It was always assumed that Claude was
the more intelligent just because he knew more than Stur­bridge
about the arts, the sciences, the social sciences, the hu­manities,
and like that. Sturbridge, on the other hand, was ten
times smarter than Claude when it came to tying granny knots.
But no matter: everybody loo,ked down on "8tupid Sturbridge,"
as they called him and looked up at "Clever Claude," as they
called him. But who do you think turned out to be the smart
one when their Il;ranny almost got loose and ran away? You
guessed it-good old Stupid Sturbridll;e. .
We arriYe now at the final category, financial inferiority.
One way to deal with thif< condition is to increase your income.
You can, for exalllpllt, become a fence. Or you can pose for a
life claf<s, if your collel!:e is well heated.
But a better way to handle financial inferiority is to accept
it philosophically.. Look on the bright side of poverty. True,
others may haye more money than you have, but look at all
the .things YOll haye that they dou't-debts, for instance, and
hunger cramps.
And what about friendship'? You don't need money to have
friends, and let me tell you sO)llething, good people: the older
~'ou get the more you will realize that nothing is so preciolls as
friendship, and the richest man in the world is the one with
the most money. © I Ylt, Max >;hulm&D
INFERIORITY CAN BE FUN
The second gravest problem confronting college students to­day
is inferiority feelings. (The first gravest problem is of
course, the recent outbreak of moult among sorority house
canaries.) Let us today look into the causes of inferiority
feelings and their possible cures.
Psychologists divide inferiority feelings into three principal
categories:
1. Physical inferiority.
2. Mental inferiority.
3. Financial inferiority.
(A few say there is also a fourth category: ichthyological
inferiority-a feelin{!; that other people have prettier fish­but
I believe this is common only along the coasts and in the
Great Lakes area.)
Let us start with the feeling of physical inferiority, perhaps
the easiest to understand. Naturally we are inclined to feel
inferior to the brawny football captain or the beautiful home­coming
queen. But we should not. Look at all the people,
neither brawny nor beautiful, who have made their marks in
the world. Look at ~apoleon. Look at Socrates. Look at
Caesar. Look .at Lassie.

Mr. Bolger to Publish
Advanced Math Book
Mr. Robert E. Bolger, Assist­ant
Professor of Mathematics at
Fairfield, is now in the process
of writing a book on that sub­ject.
Mr. Bolger is hopeful that
his book entitled "Modern Ab­stract
arid Linear Algebra" will
be completed early this summer.
The book is based on courses
Mr. Bolger took at the Courant
Ins tit ute of Mathematical
Sciences at N.Y.U. and here at
Fairfield.
As Mr. Bolger explains, the
book can be used for bridging
the gap between the levels of
under-graduate and graduate
math studies. The book will also
be useful in the training of
Math teachers.
In general the publication is a
logical construction of abstract
structures such as semi-groups,
groups, rings, fields, vector
spaces, linear transformations
and their matrix representations,
and inner-products spaces and
algrebra~.
Mr. Bolger said that among
the publishing firms which have
already shown interest in his
manuscript is Prentice Hall.

I would prefer a combination

Campus next. A Campus store
where students could buy tooth­paste,
soap, etc., is also needed
to save countless time-consum­ing
trips into town. If the book
store in Campion Hall cannot
accommodate these types of
articles, perhaps a store on the
first floor of the new dormitory
should be considered. I would
like to see the new .building
constructed on the west side of
either Campion or Loyola Halls.
If we ever hope to attract big
name schools and large crowds
to our basketball games, we
must have a larger gym for the
University. The present gym
should either be remodeled and
enlarged or turned over to the
Prep. With a new gymnasium
building for the University, we
would be able to increase our
basketball following and play
against some more well-known
teams than our present schedulp
includes, while the Prep build­ings
would still be kept together
on the east end of the Campus.
Mitch Lafitte '63
I definitely think we need a
new cafeteria, especially if a
new dormitory is built. If we
have a new dormitory and more
students, we'll need enlarged
facilities. The new building
should be built behind Loyola
Hall, thus completing the quad­rangle.
I think the Prep deserves its
own gym, but a Science building
is more important and more
urgently needed.
Jerry McCarthy '63
I think that the eating facili­ties
need improving. I would
therefore like to see the dormi­tory-
cafeteria building built with
an enlarged cafeteria. Although
I'd like to see the Campus ex­panded
over a wider area, I'd
rather see the quadrangle be­hind
Loyola Hall completed first.
Concerning the gym, I think
that the Prep should get the
present gym building and a
Fieldhouse should be built for
the University. This Fieldhouse
should contain a swimming pool
and other sports facilities.
A Science Building is needed
now and a Student Union Build­ing
will be needed after the

Question:
Which would you prefer to
have on Campus next: a com­bination
dormitory - cafeteria
building, such as Loyola Hall, or
a dormitory and faculty center?
Where would you like to see the
new building constructed? Do
you think tile Prep should have
a new gym of its own?
Answers:
Al Thomas '66
I would prefer a dormitory­cafeteria
combination. Another
cafeteria would make the meal
operation smoother running.
The present system of student­faculty
consultation seems satis­factory,
as each faculty member
has a consultation schedule and
a fixed place to meet with stu­dents.
The new dorm would
probably be best situated in the
general area of the three exist­ing
dorms, forming a quadrangle.
Concerning the gym, I think
that the Prep should have its
, own gym, then the University
would have exclusive use of the
present gym.
John Bailhe '65
I would prefer a combination
dormitory-cafeteria building, be­oause
actually the faculty would
be the only ones benefiting from
the faculty center. The new
building should be located be­hind
Loyola Hall, in order to
complete the quadrangle.
I think the Prep should have
a gym of its own.
Pete Indelicato '65
Although I'd rather see a Stu­dent
Union on Campus before
any of the buildings mentioned,
out of the choice given me I
prefer the dormitory-cafeteria
building.
I'd like to see the Campus
spread out over a wider area,
but I'd rather see a quadrangle
behind Loyola Hall completed
first. .
At the present time I do not
think that there is any problem
of over-crowding in the gym.
However, when the enrollment
of the University becomes larg­er,
the Prep should have a gym
of its own.
John Honald '64
I would prefer a dormitery­cafeteria
building. Because of
the growing enrollment, I be­lieve
that we definitely need
larger eating' facilities. When
this building is completed, I I';;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;--;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;---iiiiiiiii
would like to see it constructed

Although I realize that at the
present time finances will not
allow it, a Student Union and a
Science Building would be wel­come
and important additions to
the Campus. .
I think that the Prep should
definitely have its own gym.
Frank Debrot '64
I would like to see the dormi­tory-

that care should be taken to I·

President Jim Trowbridge of
the Young Democrl,lts, has fore­l;:
asta varied and vigorous pro­gram
for the remainder of the
year.
Because big name speakers are.
too costly, Trowbridge has been
booking "little names from big
organizations." These, he feels,
can give the students ample in­formation
in their own fields.
In late February, a representa­tive
from the "Citizens' Anti­Communist
Committee of ,Con­necticut"
will speak on how we,
as Christians, can combat Com­munism.
In March, SANE's represeIllta­tive
will illustrate his organiza­tion's
views on the United
States' policies in regard to
nuclear armament. '~',
Come April, CORE will send~
a man to F'airfield to speak on
the explosive problems of racial
equality that confront all of us
today.
In the indefinite future, Trow­bridge
would like to 'get the
welfare committee of a neigh­boring
city to have an informal
forum in which r-.ctive student
participation would be encour­aged.
problems, the chief concern in
Israel is the gap existing be­tween
the "have" and "have­not"
nations. The consul felt
that with so much of the world
starving the United States and
similarly prosperous nations
must alleviate some of the suf­fering.
Presently Israel is con­tributing
much in the way of
technical assistance, despite the
nation's lack of fiscal capabili­ties.
Mr. Zohar mentioned in con­clusion
that Israel was expand­ing
and vitalizing its economic
forces so that it will be able to
make even larger contributions
to international prosperity and
will become less dependent upon
financial assistance from world
Jewry.

"Foreign policy and political
security in Israel" was the topic
chosen by the Israeli consul in
New York, Haim Zohar, for a
lecture delivered to a group of
students on Wednesday, January
ninth. Mr. Zohar outlined in his
talk a brief political history of
Israel to emphasize the chief in­ternational
and domestic prob­lems
of the new nation.
The first section of the dis­cussion
centered about Israel as
a nation surrounded by belliger­ent
forces and the false charac­terization
of the Middle East as
a monolith,ic Arab State. Mr.
Zohar also discussed several
other military and economic
problems of Israel.
The Arab states, disregarding

the division of Palestine have
refused to trade with Israel. In Trowbridge Plans

neighboring counties Israel's. Varied Program

Presently the Syrians are the
cause of the greatest security
problems. Underlying all the
Middle East forces, the consul
declared, Nasser is the prime
mover. The nuclear weapons in­troduced
into the area have be­come
a serious threat to national
security and consequently a
nuclear balance for Israel is
imperative.
However, Mr. Zohar predicted
a more hopeful future since re­lations
between the Arab States

Re: Philosophers
To the Editor:
By its recent sponsorship of a lecture
and two seminars on Humanism in
American Thought, the Philosophy
Club of Fairfield University took a
giant step on the road to being one of
the" most worthwhile and successful
groups in the extra-curricular sphere.
It will be worthwhile as long as
there continue to be interested faculty
members whose influential contacts
are the sine qua Don of the excellent
caliber of the guest' lecturers.
It will be successwul as long as
there remains the support of the stu­dent
body with respect to attendance
at the club's functions, the invaluable
profits of which are theirs.
I would like to publicly extend a
special word of gratitude to Mr. Fred
Tartaro, the major cause of any suc­ce$
sful public ~unction held on campus,
,for his typical Gargantuan generosity
in assisting us with this affair.
The future of the Philosiphy Club
looks very bright and, because of or­ganizations
such as this, so does the
future of this university as a university.

Student UnionL
A Student Union?
The University is in the midst of
a building program. Now rumor flies
that a new dorm, or a Science Build­ing,
or a Student-Faculty Building
will .soon go up.
The STAG believes the two most
imminent needs are the Science Build­ing
and a new cafeteria - an estab­lishment
positing the basis for the.
Student Union.
Obviously, the economic problem
is the immediate consideration. The
Science Building would have to be
school-financed; the Student Union
or dormitory or both can be govern­ment-
backed financing.
The Science Building is beyond the
scope of the knowledge of this jour­nal's
commentary. But the Student
Union is not~ One, let"s have a Stu­dent
Union, <Dot a diminutive sub­stitute.
McElroy Commons at Boston
College is a good example of what a
Student Union should be. The only
addition the STAG suggests is an ex­panded
indoor athletic faCility for all
the students, not, just the basketball
team.
Two, let the Student Council open
a student survey of what the student
concept is of such a structure's con­tents.
Lastly, perhaps, we could try to do
both. What have we got to lose?
J. C.M.
An attempt at unique expression of
gratitude will come at the STAG
Banquets.
We, and this Editor writes on the
others' behalf, also after grateful, in­adequate
expression to the Adminis­tration
for the privilege of serving "
the University. In particular, the as­sistance
and guidance of Rev. William
Hohmann, S.J., and Rev. Richard
Costello, S.J., aided the maintenance
of" this regime's student-originated
norms for the paper'~production.
We thank those students who de­monstrated
their interest in the.
STAG. We express to the student
community the hope of your approval
for our efforts.
As the new regime publishes, they
wi'll improve upon and surpass our
achievement. I ask that you offer
your support and understanding in
their embryonic weeks and through­out
a success-filled year.
walks most proximate to the cafe­teria
exits are scattered with wrappers.
To "make you decide to do what
you know, the authorities soon must
turn into house mothers. This brings
out those pre-tested, pre-grammar
school rules and consequences.
This editorial is shorter than any
printed in two semesters. We wish
the hog-mannered would cease their
actions as quickly.
More. Leadership
The Student Council, after the
food dilemma set up a board of in­quiry.
The Student Council promised to
make it easier for student activity
leaders to secure rooms for speakers '
and, thus, make certain there would
be ,no conflict of speakers. Yet, re­cently,
we had three speakers within
four hours. One of the speakers was
scheduled during the time another
was speaking.
There has to be coordination of
the student groups and activities on
this campus. The means to achieve
this is, as the STAG has written,
through a second or lower house of
the Student Council, composed of
student activity leaders.
If there are to be audiences truly
representative of" Fairfield, lectures
cannot be run on a hit-or-miss basis.
They must be coordinated and the
Student Council is the logical one to
coordinate.
Further, the elections for the pres"
ent Freshman class did not incorpo­rate
the law passed last semester,
which requires the candidate to sub­mit
a statement of his background,
present activities and platform with
his petition.
Lastly, the STAG and WVOF ex­ist
for the use of these leaders. The
Council will never be community­oriented
until the leaders become,
known as the spokesmen and repre­sentatives
within the community.
Thus far, the officers have, in. some
cases, conspicuously avoided public
quotation or using the media to in­form
the students of what is or is not
going on. The publication of the
Minutes is not enough.
Fewer Promises,
Philosophy Club
Success
JUST A FEW, WORDS
That the Student Council is an
active group, is obvious to all on this
campus. That the Student Council
has com.e a long way in the last two
years is also obvious to anyone who
has attended Fairfield during that
time.
However, this editorial posits that
the Student Council still does not
have the following of the majority
of Fairfield students partially because
of its lack of exterior coordination
and foresight.
The Philosophy Club of Fairfield,
University has existed, in its revisesl
form for less than five months. In
this time it has held several seminars
on American and modern philosophy
and more recently held an all day
lecture/seminar series with Professor
John McDermott of Queens College.
For a group of such small number
tc carry out something of this mag­nitude
is relatively unheard of in
the present academic mileu.
That this club, while not fully
formed, should attempt and achieve
such a coup is to the credit of the
members as well as the student body.
That there exists an articulate ele­ment
on this campus has often been
doubted, both in this forum and pri­vately
by the students themselves.
This question has not yet been an­swered
fully, but a positive answer
has been attempted by the action of
the Philosophy Club and those who
attended the lecture and seminars. FACULTY MODERATOR

All this newspaper can say is that

In fact, observers of this pheno-menon
do not have to venture off- _

not said one word against any
portion of the letter in question
which I felt actually dealt with
d€fending the Key. I have no­thing
to say against the positive
presentation of the Key's case
other than that I believe it to be
both honest and well meant.
The great pity' is that it was
preceded by a most unnecessary
and ill-suited introduction. I
feel that Mr. Torrillo's entire
messa·ge was lost on the Sopho­more
class because of the obvi­ously
unpalatable nature of its
opening paragraphs.
Inclosing, let me express the
sincere hope that I have been
totally incorrect in my interpre­tation
and evaluation of the
opinions contained in his letter;
because if this is not the case:
then he has done the Key a
serious wrong in regard to stu­dent
relations and has opened
a rift between the Shopomore
class and the Key which will
not be quickly healed.

and entirely incorrect.
Merely because our opinions do
not fall in direct line with Key
policy does not make them mis­informed.
All it makes them is
different, and in this regard they
are entitled to just as much
veracity and respect as any
others. '
His galling reference to' our

that we are not entitled

It has been my belief that
we are entitled to our opinions

school, no matter how annoy­ing
or una,greeable they might
be to the Cardinal Key.
Second, I would like to thank
him for stopping short of call­ing
us ignorant. I consider this a
most noble gesture. I would like
to know; however, exactly how
far short of ignorant Mr. Tor­rillo
stopped and exactly what
this reference had to do, in any

I am sorry to see that Mr.
Torrillo holds no high opinion
of the Sophomore Class. But how
can he formulate lrUch an opin­ion
when he has never 'concern­ed
himself with the Class nor
has he ever demonstrated any
interest in its activities? When­ever
he is ready, I'm sure any
member of the Class would most
readily help, correct his mis­conceptions.
Lastly, I would like to. say
that I am quite happy that
"Domenick Torrillo, '6;i," wrote
the letter and not "Domenick

Sophomore Class who were poll­ed

or pass the buck to the Key, as
the Key president has attempted

the question objectively, and
cited the date as the major
cause, an unfortunate factor
which apparently cannot be
blamed on the Key's planning
of the event.

Long Day's Journey
By DAVID S. AURANDT
When it fa.des from the screen
and the lights come on you won~t
move from your seat for a while.
Your emotions will have affect­ed
such a physical and mental
weakness that you will sit stun­ned
by the powerful horror that
is Eugene O'Neill's family. In
the stark black and white film
version of his play Hollywood
has remained completely faith­ful
to the original. The actors
are four: Katharine Hepburn,
Ralph Richardson, Jason Ro­bards
Jr. and Dean Stockwell.
Their performances are flawless,
and each one stands out in his
own right; but by far does Miss
Hepburn's "Mary" surpass the
others.
Absent for readings from
Nashe, Jonson, and Webster,
your reviewer arrived in time
to hear Gielgud grapple with
Milton's Lyeidas. Lycidas was
drowned in the sea; Sir John
was swept under struggling
with the:poem's powerful music­al
current and fiood of classical
allusion. Gielgud's rendering of
the reconciliation scene from
King Lear presented the mad­dened
monarch's incoherent,
fragmented personality vividly,
but suffered when Sir John
chose to read not only Lear, but
Cordelia and Kent as well. His
performances of five Shakes­perian
Sonnets, all dealing with
Time and its effect on one's
lover, were rather anemic.
Pope's satiric Epistle of Miss
Blount was the most successful
of this, the program's weakest
portion.
"Death be not proud," the
tenth of Donne's "Holy Son­nets,"
was one of the program's
high points. Building intensity
slowly, Gielgud spoke with dig­nity
and confidence, his power­ful
interpretation and· the final­ity
of the statement "... death,
though shalt die" drawing "ahs"
from the audience._But it was
his raw, emotion-choked reading
of Bredon Hill by A. E. Hous­man
that was the evening's best
performance.
Devoured by the long, heavy
pieces, fairing best on the light­er
works, revealing great emo­tion
and genius on the shorter
poems, and obviously suffering
from a severe cold, which may
have prevented him from an all­around
superb, performance, Sir
John Gielgud proved himself a
man more than able to sound
the depths of his heritage.

The John Birch Society does not have a corner on the
market of sticky labels. We have one here at Fairfield that has
stuck around for quite some time. I almost thought we had
gott~n rid of it . this year, .but someone must have come along
with a fresh supply of glue.
The label is an old one, having its origin in ancient Greek.
It is a six-letter word, and everyone at Fairfield is required to
know its meaning as a prerequisite to graduation. By now
you must have guessed the word is "apathy.'"
I'm getting tired of hearing the word (1). because the label­users
are capable of- thinking up at least one synonym, and (2)
because the charge is false. Yes false, a myth, a fantasy, a
whirling windmill. The label "apathy" is a wonderful catch­all.
It supposedly sums up in a single word all the ills of our
society. Unfortunately, things are not that simple.
What makes anyone think that Fairfield students are so
unique in being branded apathetic? The charge is tossed about
today on nearly every campus in the land, and applied to nearly
every citizen of our country. I have seen it, heard it; and read
about it in many other schools. Why can't our label-users at
least be more original? As for the truth of the label, I think
that anyone can see our real position at Fairfield if he loo.ks
carefully. The charge sounds more like an inferiority complex
to me. (see Nov. 7th Patch)
The label-users often make the mistake of branding apa­thetic
those who do not have the same interests as they do. This
is wrong. Apathy means indifference, a lack of feeling or emo­tion.
It is not shown in any few specific areas, but in overall
outlook. It is the countless "little things" that mount towards
refuting the charge of apathy, not just a few supposed all-im­portant
things. Looking at the numerous little things that I s~e
at Fairfield, as well as the bigger things, I can find no basIs
for the general charge of apathy.
Students who on their own initiative. start such organiza­tions
as a public relations club or a campus radio station are
not apathetic; students who on their own initiative charter
buses for the away basketball games and organize a band and
cheer leaders for home games are not-apathetic; students who on
their own initiative undertake an "international awareness" pro­gram
in the Sodality are not apathetic; students who on their
own initiative prepetuate a national Catholic lay organization
on campus such as the Knights of Columbus are not apathetic;
students who'worked on both sides of the political fence during
.the last election are not apathetic; students who can produce
without remuneration such publications as the STAG, NEW
FRONTIERS, and the MANOR are not apathetic; students who
can plan and run a fine Freshman Orientation Week and such
ambitious programs as the Winter Carnival and Dogwood Festi-

larly true of little, voluntary
groups - Hke the clubs in a
college - whose cpief reason
for existence is an activity bene­ficial
to the membership.
For this reason, each club
needs to promote a vital pro­gram:
the students must keep
in mind that a club helps them
to enlarge their vision and to
understand many problems of
human relations in this country
and abroad.
Practical Methods
Each club was brought into
being for some reason: this rea­son
is spelled out in the con­stitution:
therefore it is neces­sary
to read it and to discuss it
carefully at the first meeting of
each year in order to acquaint
all the new members with it.
Aside from its specific pur­pose,
there are characteristics
of any well organized club
which are the standards by
which an organization is meas­ure-
d:
-the purpose of the particular
club should be clearly defined
and understood by the member­ship,
-there should be some intellec­tual
content in the whole pro­gram
as well as in each meeting, I
-this intellectual pro g ram
should be related to the life of
the members and the needs of
present-day society,
-the meetings, at least twice a
month, should be run in such
a way that they do not waste
the time of the members and
secure maximum participation
and cooperation.
Conscious Effort
These characteristics are not
self-established, but need to be
set up. It is, thecefore, of the
utmost importance to select
carefully the officers who will
carry out the objectives of each
club for an entire academic
year.
We are all engaged in the
same task: building a more
solid foundation for a democra­tic
way of life. It is necessary
to give to the old concept of
democracy a new and deeper
meaning, to make people aware
that democracy means not only
the freedom to assemble, to
speak or to write but it is an
expression of faith in humanity.
This expression of faith in hu­manity
is in itself a call to duty
from which no one should draw
back. Our duty is to realize the
Iole of education as a world­wide
movement, and the poten­tial
of education in helping to
solve the issues of our time.
The psychological and physio­logical
problems of the alcoholic
were discussed by Rev. Laurence
Mullin, S.J., at a recent meet­ing
of the Sociology Club. The
discussion included the problems
the alcoholic creates in his body
and mind.
Fr. Mullin who is working for
better understanding of the
problem of alcoholism, enlight­ened
and clarified many ideas.
Classifying the types of drinkers,
he mentioned the continual or
Delta alchoholic, prevalent in
continental Europe and the
American Gamma drinker who
is an off and on drinker.
Father said there is no cure
for the habitual drinker. He
must decide for himself total
abstentioIl-iS-----the ,only way to
conquer his drinking.
Father will return to talk to
the club in early February on
the social factors and problems
of the alcholoic. Notices of the
meeting will be posted.
Bob Richardson, Sociology
club president is working with
the new club moderator Mr. Di­Renzo
and his capable officers.
They are trying to change, am­plify,
and improve the club's
construction.
The club recently completed a
study based on a survey of Fair­field
University graduates who
majored in sociology. One alum­nus

Too many college students
look at the various clubs as in­stitutions
created for the sole
purpose of providing "fun and
relaxation" to their members.
This viewpoint which repre­sents
the opinion of the ma­jority
of the students must be
changed if the "intellectual
clubs" are to fulfill their main
purpose, which is to give the
stu den t s a good "training
ground" for their future role as
leaders in this country and in
the world.
Unity and Discipline
Besides the consciousness of
"unity" growing from the team
work of any well organized
group, there is another element
that springs almost automatic­ally
from every club: it is that
patient and disciplined coopera­tion
which, more than anything
else, helps shape the personality
and develop the quality of lead­ership
among its members.
Nowhere is this more true
than in the clubs interested in
foreign languages and interna­tional
affairs, though it depends
on how the club is run.
It depends mostly on the
know-how and enthusiasm of
its leaders and officers, in their
ideas and visions, and is based
on the discipline and full co­operation
of its members.
End: Act One
The life of a club is sustained
by action. This statement is true
of any group but it is particu-

dards of living but by the mo­bilization
of all the 'idealistic
forces Qf the nation to a point
as to reach a spiritual and men­tal
balance in the lives of all
Americans.
Students' Task
At this point one could ask:
what is the role that the youth
can possibly play in the complex
and rapidly changing national
and international picture?
It is a great role for which
good seeds must be planted in
the early stages of education
and especially during life in
college.
Academic training and club
activities complement each other
in making the curriculum com­plete
and most effective.
It is diffcult to get a well­rounded
education if these are
not blended together in a bal­anced
yearly program of work,
and I strongly believe that
membership and active partici­pation
in a club should be felt
as an essential element in one's
education.
Small Club's Value
Owing to the increasing need
for artistic inspiration in today's
materialistic society, it is ne­cessary
and. desirable that col­lege
students who are gifted in
the arts should join clubs for
the arts but it would be even
more necessary and desirable if
more students would join other
clubs that seem less glamorous
and more intellectual.

Traditionally, the editors step out in January, and this year
is no exception. ·When I first became sports editor, I had numer­ous
ideas on ways and means to improve the paper, many of
which I was able to put into effect. It was with the cooperation
of a staff - sometimes undermanned, the assistance of Mr. Tar­taro
and his Publicity Office and more recently with the cooper­ation
of Mr. Bisacca that this was possible.
Optimistically, I look fOl"Ward to the day when Fairfield has­an
indoor track, a varsity hockey team, intercollegiate bowling,
intramural! or varsity soccer, a reactivated golf team, a swim­ming
team, rifie team, wrestling team, sailing club, and maybe
even a field house. After we have all these, we might .even get
a trophy case. All this will come in time, but at least the ground­work
for some of it could get underway.
