At a special meeting last Thursday, the Student Council voted unanimously to waive its
constitutlon in favor of establishing a three-branch form of student government. Fashioned after,
the American democratic system, the government will consist of executive, legislative, and judi­cial
branches. During the Spring Semester the Administration will consider the proposal.
The Student Association is presently regulated by the Student Council, a legislative organi­zation.
It was the opinion of the Council that this system is inadequate for the growing demands
of the student body. and that the new form of. government will offer the students a more direct
and influential opportunity to regulate the activities of the Association. With the adoption of this
new system the Council has two aims: 1) it will create greater unity within the student 'body

(Author of "/ Was a Teen-age Dwarf", "The Many
Loves of Dobie Gillis", etc.)
As was pointed out last week, one would think that with all
the progress we have made in the education game, something
might have been done by now about roommates. But no. The
roommate picture has not brightened one bit since Ethan
Goodpimple founded the first American college.
(Contrary to popular belief, Harvard was not the first. Mr.
Goodpimple started his institution some 75 years earlier.. And
quite an institution it was, let me tell you! Mr. GoodplII~ple
bililt schools of liberal arts, fine arts, dentistry, and tanmng.
He built a lacrosse stadium that seated 102,000. Everywhere
on campus was emblazoned the stirring Latin motto CAVE
MUSSI-,-"Watch out for moose." The student union contained
a bowling alley, a clock, and a 16-chair barber shop.
Wherever you or your roommate may be--on any campus
in any ''city, town, or hamlet in any state of. the Union-you
will find Marlboros at your favorite tobacco counter-soft
pack or flip top box.
THE CURSE OF THE CAMPUS: NO. 2
(It was this last feature-the barber shop-that, alas,
brought Mr. Goodpimple's college to an early end. The student
body, being drawn from the nearby countryside, was composed
chiefly of Pequots and Iroquois who, alas, had no need of a
barber shop. Thev braid their hair instead of cutting it, and as
for shaving, they don't. The barber, Tremblatt Follicle by name,
grew so depressed staring all the time at 16 empty chairs that
one day his mind finally gave way. Seizing his vibrator, he ran
outside and shook the entire campus till it crumbled to dust.
This later became known as Pickett's Charge.)
But I digress. We were discussing ways for you and your
roommate to stop hating each other. This is admittedly diffi­cult
but not impossible if you will both bend a bit, give a little.
I remember, for example, my own college days (Berlitz, '08).
My roommate was, I think you will allow, even less agreeable
than most. He was a Tibetan named Ringading whose native
customs, while indisputably colorful, were not entirely endear­ing.
Mark you, I didn't mind so much the gong he struck on
the hour or the string of firecrackers he set off on the half-hour.
I didn't even mind his singeing chicken feathers every dusk and
daybreak. What I did mind was that he singed them in my hat.
To be fair, he was not totally taken with some of my habits
either-especially my hobby of collecting water. I had no jars
at the time and just had to stack the water any-old-where.
Well sir, things grew steadily cooler between Ringading and
me and they might have gotten actually ugly had we not each
hapIlened to receive a package from home one day. Ringading
opened his package, paused, smiled shyly at me, and offered
me a gift.
"Thank you," I said. "What is it?"
"Yak butter," he said. "You put it in your hair. In Tibetan
we call it gree see kidstuff."
·"Well now, that's mighty friendly," I said and offered him a
gift from my package. "Now you must have one of mine."
"Thank you," he said. "What is this called?"
"Marlboro Cigarettes," I said and held a match for him.
He puffed. "Wow!" he said. "This sure beats chicken feathers!"
. "Or anything else you could name," I said, lighting my own
Marlboro. '
- And as we sat together and enjoyed that fine flavorful
Marlboro tobacco, that pure white Marlboro filter, a glow of
good fellowship came over us-a serene conviction that no
quarrels exist between men that will not yield to the warmth of
honest good will. I am proud to say that Ringading and I re­main
friends to this day, and we exchange cards each Christmas
and each Fourth of July, firecrackers. © 1063 M.xShulmao

The Fairfield University campus, according to my catalogue,

hides its pdts of gold.
Another famous landmark on campus is the pond, scene of
titanic struggles in the fall, neighborhood skating in the winter,

The Lay Missionary Aposto­late
assembly was opened by
the Rev. James E. FitzGerald,
S.J., President of the University.
Father Rector spoke on the
"forces of renewal in the
Church" at present, especially
the Ecumenical Council. Father
went on to say that the "... laity
is becoming much more con­scious
. . . of its obligations to
promote and work for the ends
of the Mystical Body." Because
many of the laymen wished to
do something concrete, Father
stated that many of the laity
have given a year or two of
their lives for this apostolate.
Upon being questioned after
his talk, Mr. Sheehan stated that
the Province program has sent
some 'of its men into other move­ments,
such as, the Peace Corps
and' the Papal Volunteers for
service in L a tin America

value of the spiritual formation
in the Province program over
the secular training offered by
the Peace Corps.

CONSIDERING CONTEMPORARY THOMISM
There ·is .something miss'ing in the philosophy being taught
at today's Catholic colleges. Catholic educators have renewed the
vigor and exactitude of the system they acquired from the middle
ages, and there is still something missing. Someone has pointed
Qut that American 'Catholic students could not respond to the
system as desired because it's against their natures and make-up
as persons, more pragmatic than absolute, more concrete in their
thillking than abstract..
What about this? Let's take a look at contemporary Thomism
as seen by an American student. It is an entire system of thought
encompassing epistemology, ontology, cosmology, natural the­ology,
philosophical psychology and ,ethics. One part depends on
the other and all complement one another. It was a magnificent
piece of work that Thomas did, taking what was hinted at in
Aristotle and building a whole way of determining how and what
to look at in judging life. Now it seems worthless.
Most of the objections that American Catholic students make
about the philosophy they are taught are valid, though admitted­ly
some objectors voice clever opinions to hide, laziness. I think
the quality of Thomism that most galls today's student is its
smell of having-been-done before. To our pragmatic and con­crete
minds, this quality is unforgiveable and makes Thomism
appear not worth the bother. This may be an extreme attitude,
but it illustrates the principles of the serious student who, yes,
will listen to basic tenets, but must have made these a part of
hiS knowledge and way of thinking in a very practical way. Un­fortunately,.
most courses of philosophy given at our Catholic
colleges today do not take this fact of life seri,pusly. Instead, the
student receives little packages, of neatly-reasoned wisdom on a
particular point; all too often, he is expected to regurgitate this
package verbatim or take the consequences of a· low grade. If
this is education, says the American student, then he wants no
part of it.
o Thus, the main objection is not with the truth of the Thom­istic
system, but with the method of teaching it. Memory should.
play only a small role in the education, of a collegian, especially .
in a country where thought is expected to be largely creative and
extremely pragmatic.
One of the more invalid assumptions that programs of con­temporary
Thomism makes is that contact with other philosophers
in their writings is a risky and dangerous business. So, most of
its teachers stick right to the book (the book is fun - the old
method of stating the answer before giving the question is no
longer visibly in operation. It's just that' there is only one
answer given) and give no quarter to the objectiom; of intellec­tual
monism.
In too many cases, the American Catholic student is having
his proverbial leg pulled. He is being asked to answer questions
which, for the most part, have questionable validity to his in­tellectual
life - he didn't even ask the questions. Pre-packaged
answers do make for an easier teaching assignment and cor­rection
of papers - what if it does not make thinkers? Contact
with other philosophers might not be intellectually honest, but
it does save a lot of time and effort. Perhaps the American
Catholic in his young and impressionable years does have some­thing
to fear from those in error. Sarcasm aside, perhaps he has
more to fear from the present method in which he is taught
philosophy. Knowledge? Something is missing. .
(If interest warrants, this discussion will be continued. Let-ters
and comments are welcome.) /

To the, Editor:
The subject of Mike Lawrence's last
Reflections was a Poll taken by the
Layman, the Sodality newspaper. He
had hoped that the question, "What
are your views on the Supreme Court
decision against set prayer in the class­room,"
would evoke discussion on cam­pus.
lam sure that the Editor of the
Layman and the four pollees shared
that hope.
It is therefore unfortunate that Mike
did not avoid merely attacking the
opinions of the pollees in a variety of
areas. Constructivp comments and in­sights
into the situation would have
been more enlightening. Whether or
not a man is personally qualified to
comment on the question is a matter
that lies outside the realm of Mike's
published Reflections.
By way of facts the parenthetical
comment directed at #3 seems to me
to be in error - de facto. Prayer was
being said in the classroom, and the
Court had had no edict on the matter.
The root of the problem lies in the
manner in which one views the Con­stitution.
To the_Editor:
Being a freshman I probably should
not write this letter. According to ~.
'Lawrence, freshmen are not sophisti­cated
and therefore not able to "wax
profound." As #4 in his article on
"Christmas trees," I apologize for at­tempting
to "wax profound" upon mat­ters
which should not be included in
the freshman spectrum of life.
I would. like, however, to comment
upon two points in Mr. Lawrence's col- ,
umn. First, and by way of question:
does Mr. Lawrence ever attempt to
solve the problem in question or does
he attack personally the opinions of the
three "qualified" students and one
freshman in the survey? Second: I do
not understand how Mr. Lawrence
comes to the conclusion that freshmen
are ignorant. He seems to judge all
from one. Even a freshman, drawing
upon only one semester of logic, can
.see this to be an' invalid conclusion;
Being a freshman, I can only suggest
these objections, not "wax profound"
on them. That is up to you.

To the Editor:
Just what right of honest inquiry do
the Fairfield students have? Judging
by an experience that I had on Jimu­ary
16th last. the answer is none what­soever.
There exists on this campus today a
situation which the student is unaware
of unless he comes in contact with it.
This experience took place in the
Canisius Library. It could have hap­pened
to any student, and probably
has on more than one occasion.
I had entered the Library with the
hope of getting change of a quarter for
a phone call. When I inquired at the
desk, the librarian politely explained
that the Library does not give change
of a quarter. I did not question the
policy, but remarked in good faith that
such a policy seemed rather inconsid­erate,
with a change drawer directly
at hand, She referred me to a higher­ranking
Library official, to whose office
I proceeded directly. When I inquired
about the policy to this official, I was
genuinely amazed by what I heard. I
asked him, objectively and with com­plete
sincerity, why the librarian was
unable to give change of a quarter. I
was told that it was he who had made
the ;rule, and that it' was; and I quote,
"NONE OF MY BUSINESS." I thanked
him politely and left.
I had asked a reasonable, honest
question. I posed, this question with,
as I mentioned before, great sincerity
and in good faith. I am disappointed
with, I am not satisfied with, and I dis..
agree with the answer which I received.
A rule in the Library is one which
affects the entire Student Body. If it
isn't the students' ''business'~to know
the students' laws, then just WHOSE
BUSINESS IS IT? After all, this rule
was meant for the students, wasn't it?
Let's clarify some of these not-too­apparent
regulations, and let's lift the
ban on honest student inquiry and
information..

All these jejune comments will
serve. we hope. to evoke -your interst
in Philosophy and the treatment of
philosophers at Fairfield. To bring
the student discussion out into the
open. Richard Lawless' ASPECT col­umn
in this issue looks at Philosophy
courses. We recommend it for your
reading and offer you the opportu­nity.
to engage actively in this dis­CUSSiOn.
Repeatedly through the STAG's more stormy issues, several student
,. writers have expresed, calmly and emotionally. their dissatisfaCtion with
the .Philosophy courses offered here at Fairfield University. The expressed
complaints center about a few available courses. Granted, som~ ~o.m­plaints
do stem from personality conflicts, but the more astute CritiCS,
looking beyond the teacher-student relationship to the subject-matter,
'which is to be offered in the course,
see faults in the texts used and the
general give - the - answ9' approach
which often evades the questions to
which no absolute truth i~ known
for an answer.
Disgusted with the rote-without­thought
the critics look for a modern
adaptation of Thomism in extracur"
ricular Philosophy readings rarely re­quired
in anyone of the Philosophy
courses at present. The student-philo­sopher
fails to see the acid questions
involved in the philosopher's mind
because he is unaware such questions
exist while so emersed in his own
mechanical repetition of the answers
(often' direct quotes) retained by
mass memorization.
The comparative analogy with the
end desired in other disciplines. such
as English or Biology, with the end
desired from Philosophy courses fails
in the real situation where the Uni­versity
produces some writers and
biologists; but the consideration of
being even a part-time philosopher, if
such a creature exists, evokes the
image of the uncomprehending r'ote
of Thomas' Five Proofs without re­gard
for the reality of the need for
Catholic laymen in the twentieth cen-
'~tury who see the deep philosophical
problems this age bears and which
are peculiar to our times. '
One observer outside the UniverJ
sity community noted his own won­der
that Ontology. Natural Theol­ogy,
Cosmology. all parts of the pres­ent
Metaphysics course, could ever be
taught, much less, assimilated in, one
year. The quantity problem of giving
a course of such scope in two semes­ters
and hoping this serves to arouse
the interest (i.e., a comprehending
commitment to a study of the prob­lems
which Metaphysics approaches)
of the students causes despair in the
minds of student-philosophers search­ing
for a course to discipline and
augment their own personal realiza­tion
of the value of Philosophy to
1963. '
,COURT JESTERS:
ATRYING SITUATION
FROM THE OLD
TO THE' NEW·
. It has taken fifteen years but Fair­field
finally has the beginnings of a
booster club.
The Court Jesters have attempted
to institute organized cheering both
.in victory and in defeat. They have
posted "Follow the Stags" signs
which announce when and where the
games are to be played. Also found
on these placards is an account of each
game as soon as the results are pub­lished
in the local papers.
The value of the Jesters can be
especially appreciated this year. since
the Stag team is not faring as well
as everyone has become accustomed.
Last year it was quite easy to cheer­the
team was always ahead. This is
not the situation this season. Con­tinuing
spirit. whether the team is
winning or losing. is essential for the
morle of the team as well as that (If
the student body. .
However. for the Court Jesters to
foster and organize this spirit and
continue the fine and necessary job
they are performing. they will need
cooperation.
When the cheerleaders stan'd 'to
cheer, they are not taking the place
of the crowd in the stands; they are
leading the fans. Perhaps if some of
the spectators would cheer instead of
jeer. Fairfield would have a rooting'
section to be proud of.
The original Court Jesters in­cluded
a five piece band. This is one
other of their praise-worthy feJtures.
Yet, the band is of no availlf it is not
allowed in the gym.
These are only two areas where
(;ooperation is suggested and which
are necessary for the Court Jesters to
fulfill the purposes for which they
united.
With this issue the new regime of
the STAG begins its publishing year.
Recognizing the valuable foundation
the past regime has left and with an
eye to future and further develop­ment.
the incoming editors and st3.ff
will labor to improve the quality and
retain the respect which the STAG
has attained in the year gone by.
At this point an editorial word of
gratitude is due to James C. Moore
'64. retired Editor-in-Chief. Under
his guidance many innovations have
been introdu.ced which have since
become STAG policy. Among these
are the Editorial Board. the change in
the size of the page. expanded edi­torial
coverage and the establishment
of Outstanding Service awards. In
general the overall appearance and
quality of content in the paper was
greatly advanced during his term in
office.
As the new editors take office. no
. "inaug'ural" promises will be made;
There is only a request and that is
for the cooperation and suggestions
of the student body.

SALUTE: BOB FISK
Bob Fisk (B.A.. 1954) joined New England Telephone
in Boston during 1957 and in less than three years was
promoted to the position of Accounting Manager.

from Ireland who portrays Law­rence
with eloquence? He is an
actor who has the expressions
of Montgomery Clift, the man­nerisms
of Alec Guinness - one
of his co-stars - and he has
the profile of James Dean. Peter
O'Toole's voice is a fair pitched
one, with a pronunciation so
cfuti~ct that his words seem to
bounce off the screen.
O'Toole, an unknown from the
Royal Theatre at Stratford-on­Avon,
is surrounded by a dis­tinguished
cast: Alec Guinness,
Anthony Quayle, Ant h 0 n y
Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Jose Fer­rer,
Claude Rains, and Arthur
Kennedy. Alec Guinness as
Prince Feisal and Arthur Ken­nedy
as Bently, a Chicago re­porter,
play their roles with re­markable
agility and skill.
Although this picture took 24
months of s h 0 0 tin g and cost
twenty million dollars, it lacks
what one might call a strong
sense of unity of action with
dialogue. Because of this, the
scenes, although very well block­ed,
drag from one desert sunrise
to sunset. "Lawrence of Arabia"
certainly does not live-up to the
last Spiegel-Lean production of
"The Bridge on the River Kwai."

Churchill said: "I deem

This Sam Spiegel-David Lean
production is an entirely sub­jective
film. "Lawrence of
Arabia" will be either·a great
cinema or it will be nothing. I
foresee it to be nothing. Do not
misunderstand. The film is ex­cellent
in that Fred Young's
photography is superb, but only
in that aspect is it great. When
Peter O'Toole blows out a
match and the scene immedi­ately
switches to a tangerine
sun setting on the black desert
sands, one is enthralled with the
miracles of Young's camera.
Scenarist Robert Bolt did a
magnificent job on the screen­play.
The actors in this spectacular
are all of the highest caliber,
but they underact to such an
extent that' one leaves the the­atre
knowing little or nothing
of Lawrence. Who's fault is
this?, not the actors, but their
director. David Lean has not
displayed here his fine direction
as he has in such films as "Great
Expectations," and "The Bridge
on the River Kwai."
Who is the transatlantic rage
Lalvrence
Of Arabia
T. E. Lawrence as portrayed
in this film is an eccentric, de­termined,
and conceited man.
He is an altruist who is in love
with the desert and its inhabi­tants,
but slowly turns to detest
it through his own actions. The
questions are: Is this the true
picture of Lawrence, a young
lieutenant, illegitimate son of
the Irish Baronet, Thomas Chap­man?
Does the highest admis­sion
price ever asked to a film
merit the worth in seeing this
spectacular?
In my opinion, the first ques­tion
is unanswerable. Many peo­ple
have said many things about
T. E. Lawrence and the legend
that goes with him. Controversy
rages about his cr.uel and sadis­tic
methods of pursuing his cam­paign
against he Turkish domi­nation
of the Middle East dur­ing
World War 1. Bernard Shaw
said of Lawrence: "With the
single doubtful exception of
myself, no man of our time has
had such a power of tempting
journalists and even diplomats
to tell lies about him as Law-
Itionalism the rule. Scenery and
background are not elaborate.
The scenes of King Atreus' pal­ace
are filmed inside a tomb
where no artificial construction
was necessary, and the peasant
cottage of Electra's husband is
authentic.
The remaining scenes of the
film are the actual countryside
of Greece.
As is typical of classical
Greek plays the movie possesses
unity of time, place and action.
Respecting tradition all murders
are executed off camera and
resultant horror is achieved by
sympathy of the elements with
special effects, such as thunder
and violent wind.
In the East you will find 'no
outstanding names but one out­standing
actress, Irene Pappas.
She portrays Electra wit h
enough venom to make Medea
cower; yet at the same time she
possesses a magnetism that
makes her less repulsive than
Medea. In comparison with her
the rest of the cast is adequate
but not exceptional.
In spite of Miss Pappas' mov­ing
effort the action lags at times
and one loses attention; a fault
which blemishes an otherwise
excellent production.
Guy Caputo
For those who missed the orig­inal
staging, Michael Cacoy­annis
has adapted Euripedes'
"Electra" for the modern screen.
Written about 410 BC the play
treats of the Greek concept of
evil and its repercussions. The
dialogue is in Italian, and Eng.­lish

Riverwind
Modern Screen
Adapts Electra
Greenwich Village's Actor's
Playhouse is now featuring the
gay musical comedy "River­wind."
Adrian Hall, director, is
not new to off-Broadway. His
talents were seen in "Red Roses
for Me" and Lillian Hellman's
drama, "Toys in the Attic." And
here again he does a noteworthy
job in presenting John Jennings'
first attempt at playwriting.
John Jennings, the twenty­eight
year old composer, chose
for his setting Indiana's colorful
Wabash River. He proves that
when the moonlight shines
through the towering timbers
on a secluded tourist rest over­looking
the Wabash, true peace
and love are found. (That is if
you like catfish and mosquitoes.)
This supposedly salubrious cli­mate
plays host to three very
simple love episodes.
Logically they run thusly: a
teenage boy and girl just get­ting
acquainted; the shy 'college
graduate and his equally shy
love (who are now in the i r
seventh year of engagement);
and finally the middle aged
couple, having discovered their
marriage on the skids who bliss­fully
find their mutual affection
on the banks of the Wabash.
These three different levels of
human love are blended togeth­er
rather well.
But to fill in this privation of
true reality Mr. Jennings stuffs
seventeen songs into two fairly
short acts. His attempt in equal­izing
those captivating love
songs such as "Maria" fall piti­fully
short on an Indiana ver­anda.
He does, however, pick
himself up with extremely
catchy and witty lyrics such as
the tune "Almost, But Not Quite
Ever." Then back to another
love song, and the play goes on
in a see-saw fashion.
Lawrence Brooks, who has
spent most of his time in sum­mer
stock, takes the leading role
as the middle age d husband.
His singing is fair and his ap­pearance
is all too rigid. Eliza­beth
Parrish, his wife, is medi­ocre;
and the same is true for
the remaining cast except for
the one bright Ii g h t by the
name of Jenny Farrell. She por­trays
rather well the teenage
girl desperately seeking love.
Her talent was recognized in
"Do Re Mi" and "Subways Are
for Sleeping." She is full of life
and possess an extremely infec­tious
laugh. Truly a pleasure.
John Jennings' debut in New
York will not be easily forgot­ten
for he has broken that chain
of heavy, foreboding drama
which has recently saturated
the Village; and he has done it
with a gay, light-hearted musi­cal.
So as one leaves the subway
rattled and "beatnik" draped
Actor's playhouse, he cannot
help but feel that this refresh­ing
change is going to have a
startling affect on off-Broadway.

Definite Plans Announced For
FU Summer Session In France
By SEAN P. MOLONEY
Rev. Thomas Johnson, S.J.
has announced that the plans
for a Fairfield summer session in
France are now definite. A fully
accredited part of the summer
school, the session is open not
only to undergraduate men pre­sently
enrolled at Fairfield, but
also to men and women from
other schools.
Encouraged by the results of
a highly successful pilot program
last year, "The University has
now decided to follow the trend
of many colleges and universi­ties
in' establishing a program
abroad to give their students a
cosmpolitan outlook," remarked
Fr. Johnson.
To ensure the utmost profit
from their stay in France, a
number of excursions' have been
· arranged. As last year, a special
effort will be made to provide
maximum opportunities for con­tact
with the local population.
The academic pursuits will be
conducted in a vacation atmos­phere
in order to permit the
students to return refreshed and
ready for the school year.

CANISIUS
ACADElllY
REVIEW
By WILLIAM BURNS
"Catholics in Conversation," a
series of. interviews with prom­inent
Catholics by Donald Mc­Donald,
was the book reviewed
by John O'Connell and discuss­ed
at the meeting of the Canisius
Academy on Wednesday, Feb-ruary
6. .
The relation of the Catholic
layman to modern civilization
was the general theme of the
discussions stemming from the
ideas e:xpressed by such person­alities
as Reverend Joseph Fich­ter
and Senator Eugene Mc­Carthy.
In his interview in "Catholics
in Conversation," Bishop Wright
emphasized the condition of the
Catholic intellectual life. He de­clared
that while Catholic col­leges
are not producing as many
professional intellectuals, they
are producing men who are
nourished by intellectual ideals.
Also Bishop Wright felt a need
for more Catholic influence in
international affairs. No longer
should Catholics be defensive
about international relations,
but rather should exert a posi­tive
force.
Parish Status
Reverend Alfred LongleY, a
well-known liturgist who' has
been greatly influenced by the
sphere of ideas centered at
Maria-Laach monastery in Ger­many
discussed the position of
the parish in his interview. He
advocated the formation of
'cells' in each parish in order to
overcome the impersonalization
of large numbers. These cells
would have the goals of personal
sanctification and also the per­formance
of some apostolic ac­tivity
or the study of some theo­logical
principle.
Liberalism
Senator Eugene McCarthy ex­pressed
his views on liberalism
and on the conflict of the Cath­olic
politicians in a government
with anti-Catholic ordinances.
He does not see the situation as
very serious in the United
States but does allow that if it
ever became serious it would
be necessary for the official to
relinquish his position. An ex­ample
of a serious cause could

Anyone For Rugby?
At present on the sports
scene here at Fairfield there are
attempts being made to set up
new sports on both the intra­mural
and inter-collegiate level.
The sports involved here in­clude:
ice hockey, and wrestling
and now a request has been
made for a show of interest in
the sport of rugby.
This request has been made
by Dr. John Kenyon of the
school's Psychology department
who brought up the idea in
view of the fact that at such
area schools as Holy Cross, Wil­liams,
Wesleyan and Fordham,
clubs have been set up and he
sees no reason why this school
might not follow suit. The stu­dents
here have shown interest
in soccer in the past and this
sport being somewhat similar
perhaps might take up the slack
where the soccer idea fell.
Anyone interested is request­ed
to meet with Dr. Kenyon'
around the Psychology offices in
Canisius.

By PE'l"ER GARRY
As part of Alumni homecom­ing
and Senior Father and Son
Weekend, the Fairfield Stags
and the Boston College Eagles
locked horns in two of the most
exciting games seen at Fairfield
this season.
In the varsity fray, won by
B.C. 68-64, highly-touted Gerry
Ward showed the way for B.C.
with 32 points and 18 rebounds
as they pulled away from a 1
point half time lead to a 10 pt.
bulge midway through the sec­ond
half. The Stags were kept
in the battle in the first half
by the shooting of Bob Hutter
and Nick Macarchuk and in the
second session by Walt Donnelly
and Larry Rafferty. Hutter and
Macarchuk both tallied 15 for
the home forces and Donnelly
added 13, incuding 11 in the
second half.
Mid-semester exams were a
welcome break for the strug­gling
Stags after they suffered
three straight losses over a six
day period.
Gaels Trounce Stags
The first of these came at the
hands of the Iona Gaels, 91-69,
at the victors court. The game
featured a high scoring first half,
where the lead changed hands
many times and ended with the
Stags on top 47-46.
The second half was an entire­ly
different story, though, as the
Stags failed to make a basket
for the first five minutes and
Iona, behind the strong shooting
of Warren Isaacs and the re­bounding
of Marty Conlan
surged away to an insurmount~
able lead.
In this sloppily played skir­mish,
Iona was paced by Conlan,
Mannion and Isaacs with 22, 21,
and 20 points respectively. Fair­field's
regular one-two punch of
Hutter and Macarchuk netted 21
and 17 each.
Stags Bow 93-91
Two nights later, the Stags
returned to their home floor to
engage the Pirates of Seton
Hall. The game, played before
a sellout crowd, saw the Stags
at their best for the season so
far.
The recount of the game is ·as
follows. In the first half the
shooting of Nick Werkman and
Richie Dec was offset by the
strong play of Hutter, Weismil­ler
and Macarchuk and the half
time tally was 50-48 in favor of
the tall Pirates. The score could
have been different but the
Stags had the ball stolen quite
often at. the start and then ral­lied
from far behind before the
half.
In the second half for four­teen
minutes, the game was all
Stags. Weismiller did not miss a
shot, and he and Rafferty fast
broke time after time for quick
baskets. But when at the six
minute marker, we slowed down
our game, they capitalized on
our mistakes and as all know

the hosts 93-91.
Werkman paced all scorers
with forty, and his Soph team­mate
Dec posted 23. For the
Stags Weismiller with 23 and
Hutter with 17 led the point
makers. .
3rd Loss 78-63
In the third of these fracases,
the Stags traveled to Manches­ter,
New Hampshire, to face the
St. Anselm Hawks, and were ex­pecting
a tough game due to the
closeness of last year's tilt.
In the first half, Nick Macar­chuk's
17 points balanced the
Hawks 1-2 punch of Myles
Dorch and Tony Greer and the
hustling Hawks led by 3 at half
time, 35-32.
After the intermission, the
Stags were confronted by Steve
Klimaszewski, a 6'8" giant, who
entered the game for the first
time and chipped in 15 points to
put the game out of reach. The
final count was 78-63.
The highlight of the evening

Every college has its number one sport and this

is basketball and whereas at suoh. a pla~e as Boston

a medi9'CTe record and OUT monopoly on the Tri-State

We have to admit it, we have been very erratic;
whereas we have shined against Southern Conhecticut
and Seton Hall in strong, well balanced performances,
·the opposite has prevadled more often as against St.
FTanois and L.I.U., to';name a few.
If we could constantly perfOml for tJhe remainder
of the season as we have in OUir better games, we would
end with a respectable. record, especi'ally in Hight of

his great desire to learn make
all admire this athlete.
Aside from Frank's Basketball
achievements he is one of the
best-liked members of the team.
This is felt not only by his
teammates 'but also by the fans.
In other areas of athletics Frank
has become one of Fairfield's
top high jumpers.
Frank's contribution to his
class have been limited by the
time consuming job of being a
member of the basketball team.
However, when time has per­mitted
Frank has worked on the
Dogwood Festival, Yearbook
and' Freshmen Orientation.
The B.S.S. English Major
hopes to go on to graduate
school, but his plans are still
tentative. One of "The Goober's"
greatest hopes and contributions
to the school has been the Pitts­burgh
Area Club of which he is
the sole member. .
Frank when asked of his feel­ings
toward the school indicated
that he has enjoyed attending
such a close-knit University. He
is also very proud of being a
member of the finest small col­lege
team in the East.

By BOB DRAKE
Frank McAnulty, this week's
sports personality has contribut­ed
greatly to the spirit and skill
of one of the great Stag teams
in Fairfield's history.
In past years Frank has had
the misfortune to play behind
several stars, thus not acquiring
the :needed experience that one
needs. In his Freshman year
Frank broke his arm at a crucial
point in his career thus missing
that valuable time when he
could havce learned the basic
moves of his position.
In his Sophomore year Artie
Crawford excelled at the post
position leaving Frank little
playing time. Bill Shin the "big
man" for the Stags last year
turned in many fine perform­ances.
So it can be seen then
that this is the first year in
which Frank has had to handle
the position alone, whereas most
of his fellow starters, have had
experience since their Freshman
year. Therefore he has had his
work cut out for him.
Frank's amount of potential is
perhaps the greatest of any of
the players on the team, and
much of it has not, been un­covered.
However Frank's con-

In case you haven't heard,
Cassius Marcellus Clay is com-,
ing to town on March 13th to
fight New York's Doug Jones.
Clay is widely known for his
big mouth and his amazing pre­dictions
of the rounds in which
he dispatches his opponents.
This last is not because he is
the best heavyweight of the day.
because he isn't. It can be attri­buted
to one of two things.
Either the fights are fixed, which
is unlikely with the close scru­tiny
being given boxing iIi re­cent
years; or, Clay is "carry
ing" his adversaries until the
appointed hour.
Clay. though no world-beater
at this time, has tremendous po­tential.
It would be unfortunate
if he were to be pushed along
before he develops it.
Clay is nobody's fool, how­ever.
He knows that every time
he opens his mouth in self-praise
or mockery of some fighter, he
is increasing the amount of
people who are willing to pay
to see him fight.
"In Doug Jones he meets the
first real opposition of his pro­fessional
career. All the rest
were either "has-beens" or
"never was's."
Clay has said:
"Doug Jones must fall in six
But if he gives me any jive,
I'm gonna have to cut it to
five."
Jones may give him more
than jive. A light-heavyweight
in actuality, Jones has kayoed
big Zora Folley, a ranked
heavyweight and looked good
against Harold Johnson in a los­ing
effort for the 175 lb. crown.
He has speed, power and a sturdy
chin to match Cassius' advan­tage
in size. If Clay beats him
convincingly, he will be on his
way. .
But Sonny Liston is something
else again. We might add a
rhyme of our own:
"Jones may fall, even Floyd
But there's one fact we can't
avoid:
Picking Sonny to fall in eight
Just might be laughing in the
face of Fate."

and to training program
for teachers of exceptional
children.
The council considered a long
range growth program but be­fore
such a program can be set
there is a need to develop the
present position of the lJniver­sity.
This would include increas­ing
the faculty, developing a
seminar program and extending
the scholarship program.
One possible long range pro­gram
considered would' call for
development of a cultural cen­ter
which would serve as the
center of cultural activities in
the area.
The council has created six
trustees who will aid and advise
the University in specific areas.

here on the Campus of Fairfield
University beginning February
16th. His purpose in remaining
with us for a week is to make
himself available for anyone
who may wish to talk over a
possible vocation to the priest­hood,
be it for the secular or
religious life. There are times
when' young men believe that
they have a calling to a higher
vocation in life but due to ex­cessive
reserve, a false sense of
humility or a feeling of in­ability
to assume such a life,
they never resolve their prob­lem.
Fr. Curran will be hereto'­help
such students and any oth­ers
who wish to consult him.
This will be the third year
for Fr. Curran on Campus as
Vocation Director. Students will
be able to consult with him in
Canisius Hall in the morning,
Xavier Hall in. the afternoon
and in Gonzaga during the eve­-
nings. The members of the
Sophomore Class know Fr. Cur­ran
as he was their Retreat Di­rector

Brochure For
Travel Abroad
In a brochure sent to college
and university placement direc­tors
throughout the countrY' this
week, the Interna,tional Student
Travel Center outlined a step­ped-
up 'program for' student
work and travel abroad in
1963. Among the innovations
,offered .for the summer ahead
will be job opportunities outside
of Western Europe, travel
grants, and a two-way exchange
program whereby 1STC mem­bers
can obtain travel expense
reductions by providing work
or room and board for foreign
students visiting the U.S.
The ,goal of the ISTC, the
booklet points out, is to provide
stimulating work, stud~ and
travel experience abroad as an
essential part of education and a
means of furthering good will.
In the' past both students (ages
16-35) and teachers (no age
limit) have participated in such
programs, which include paying
lobs, orientation seminars and
tours.
For the most part, job open­ings
are in unskilled categories
with minimal language qualifi­cations.
They cover such occu­pations
as farming, construction
and factory work, child care
and hotel-resort' work. Wages
are based on the standard rates
in the various countri~s and may
range from' room and board in
a Spanish work camp to $190 a
month in a West German fac­tory.
