On Friday afternoon, Apdl 6,
there will be an organizationnl
meeting of the PUBLIC RELA­TIONS
CLUB, in room 105,
Xavier Hall at 12:10. The pur­pose
of this organization i~ to
better promote the name of
Fairfield University. Ned ColI,
'62, organizer of this activity,
has experience in this field as
public relations 'director for the
Hartford Area Club for the past
three years. He pointed out there
are numerous ways the student
body can assist our Public Re­lations
Department.
This club is open to all stu­dents
and it is hoped many men
from various localities enroll.
Mr. CoIl also mentioned it is
imperative for underclassmen to
take an active role in this inter­esting
and beneficial endeavor.
Besides its educational value, it
has been proven that increased
publicity ,has interested out­standing
athletes towards Fair­field,
Mr. ColI said.
Mr. Tartaro, Public Relations
Director, will serve as club mod­erator.
He feels this student or­ganization
. will definitely en­hance
the academic, cultural,
and athletic name of Fairfield
University and urges all to at­tend
next Friday's "kick-off"
meeting.

CRAM COURSE NO.1:
MODERN EUROPEAN HISTORY.
lJIoday you can buy Marlboros all over Europe, but you might
have to pay a premium. In all 50 of these United -States.
however, you get that fine lJlarlboro flavor, that excellent
Marlboro filter, in flip-top box or 10ft pack at regulation
popular prices.
There is the Police Department, the Fire Department, the
Gas and Water Department, and the Bureau of Weights arid
Measures. There is also Madame Pompadour, but that need
not concern us because it is a dirty story and is only taught to
graduate students. .
Finally, let us take up Italy-the newest European nation.
Italy did not become a unified state until 1848 when Garibaldi,
Cavour, and Victor Emmanuel threw three coins in the Trevi
Fountain. This lovely gesture so enchanted all of Europe that
William of Orange married Mary Stuart and caused a potato
famine in Ireland. This, in turn, resulted in Pitt, the Youngel·.
All of this may seem a bit complicated, but be of good cheer.
Everything was happily resolved at the Congress of Vienna
where Metternich traded Panna to Talleyrand for Mad Ludwig
of Bavaria. Then everybody waltzed till dawn and then, tired
but content, they stMted the Thirty Years' War. © 1962 Me.x Shulm"~.
The school year draws rapidly to a close; and it's been a fun'
year, what with learning the twist, attending public executions,
and walking our cheetahs-but are we ready for final"exams?
Some of us, I fear, are not. Therefore, in these few remaiiling
columns, I propose to forego levity and instead offer a series
of cram courses so that we may all be prepared at exam time.
We will start with Modern European History. Strictly de- .
fined, Modern European History covers the history of Europe
from January 1, 1962, to the present. However, in order to
provide employment for more teachers, the course has been
moved back to the Age of Pericles, or the Renaissance, as it is
jocularly called. . .
'The single most important fact to remember about Modern
European History is the emergence of Prussia. As we all know,
Prussia was originally called Russia. The "P" was purchased
from Persia in 1874 for $24 and Manhattan ISland. This later
became known as Guy Fawkes Day. .
Persia, without a "P" was, of course, called Ersia. This so.'
embarrassed the natives that they changed the name of the
COl1ntry to Iran. This led to a rash of name changing. Mesopo­tamia
became Iraq, Schleswig-Holstein became Saxe-Coburg,
Bosnia-Herzegovina became Cleveland. There was,even talk in
stable old England about changing the name of the country,
but it was forgotten when the little princes escaped from the
Tower and set fire to Pitt, the Elder.
Meanwhile Johannes Gutenberg was quietly inventing the
printing press, for which ,we may all be grateful, believe you·
me! Why grateful? I'll tell you why grateful. Because without
Gutenberg's invention, there would be no printing on cigarette
packs. You would not know when you bought cigarettes whether
you were getting good Marlboros or some hOlTid imitation. You
could never be sure that you were buying a full-flavored smoke
with a pure whit~ filter, a cigarette that lets you settle back
and get comfortable-in short, a Marlboro. It js a prospect to
chill the bones and turn the blood to sorghum-so if you are
ever in Frank-furt am Main, drop in and say thanks to Mr.
Gutenberg. He is elderly-40S years old last birthday-but
still quite active in his laboratory. In fact, only last Tuesday he
invented the German short-haired pointer.
But I digress. Back to Modern European History. Let us
turn now to that ever popular favorite, France.
France, as we all know, is divided into several departments.
ing the "Four Tune Tellers";
the New Haven' Barbershop
Chorus; and a "community sing,"
will comprise the program. An
added attraction will be a wo­man's
quartet from the "Sweet
Adelines", who also sing Bar­bershop
harmony.
Tickets are available at Ray's
Record Room, Fairfield, and

BOOK LOANS
NO GOLF TEAM?
To the Editor:
It would seem that a library's pur­pose
is to serve the need of both fac­ulty
and students for reference works.
It may also bring lighter material into
the community, but its major responsi­bility
is an academic one.
To better serve this aim, it would be
apropriate to extend the'loan time for
books. Some colleges have a three­month
loan system with two week re­call.
If this policy were instituted here,
it 'would make books, which sometimes
demand a more profound reading than
two weeks or a month permits, avail­able
for those who wish to pursue a
subject in depth. (In a somewhat in­cidental
sidelight, the policy ()f bring­ing
books in for renewal seems ludi­crous.
To carry a book for sixty miles,
for no other purpose than to get it
stamped, is fantastic.)
Since a college library serves as a
study area for the students,it would
seem reasonable to make it a place
where they enjoy studying. Comfort­able
chairs and a quiet smoking area
would make the library more usable.
It need not degenerate into a den or
inferno if this privilege were condition­al
on the neatness of the library.
Paul Scott
To the Editor:
On page 93 of the 1961-62 Fairfield
llniversity Catalogue is a listing of'
varsity sports supposedly engaged in
by students at Fairfield University. One
of 'the' sports mention is golf.
Unfortunately there wasn't 'a golf
team on this campus last year because
the Un!versity did not provide for one.
The reason for this failure as given by
the athletic administration was that it
was not possible to se,cure the )lse of 3
home course. How every high school in
the state was' able to secure a home
course'I'll nev.er know.
.Even: after last .year's failure, the
, Catologue still listed golf as ,3 varsity
sport, so', one could, conclude that a
team would be fielded this year, How­.
ever, it has come to my attention that
there will not, be a golf team this year
, either. ' '
What does all this indicate? To me
.it, shows that our school is a FRAUD.
, We are' advertising' something we do
'not have; we are breaking the contract
'between institution 'and student. There­fore,
I say, let's either field a golf team
or be honorable by strikirig golf from
the catalogue and letting the world
know that' a ,"modern" Jesuit institu~
,tlon offers only a "medieval" athletic
program. .' ,

spectaculars. Perhaps, the most any
officer can do about the spiritual wel­fare
of his class is to discuss the topic
with his class moderator.
Here we ate in a Catholic Univer­sity
and we divorce the Student As­sociation
from the Church and from
the intellectual life of the school. The
Catholic, elected, stu den t leader
should lead each and every member
of his class to their responsibilities
in every area as much as he can. One
dedicated officer, involving as many
fellow students in Council and class
work as possible, has more influence
and effect against apathy, cheating.
indifference, and the usual list of
"isms" than twenty-five depersona­lized,
elected officials automatically
attending meetings.
To this editorial, as to the last,
the charge of "idealistic" can easily
be applied. And the accusation will
prove itself valid again and again as
long as the indivi,duals composing
the Council refrain from openly dis­cussing
the idea and ideals of the As­sociation.
Until these concepts can be
discussed, they will never be active.
They will obviously remain in the
abstract realm of hypothesis.
This is not the last editorial on
this subject. So long, as students re­main
unchallenged in their apathy
toward responsibility, the student
leaders bear part of the guilt for this
particular' failure, within Catholic
education. The stu d en t, s' cry .of
"idealism" can be disproven by their
officers' acts. And the officers' cyni-,
cism, "06 you really believe this
could ever happen in a Jesuit insti­tution?",
demonstrates their present
inability to understand the concept
,of a leader. The leader is first a
subject of' his ,community's laws.

authority, vast areas of po­tential

CHICAGO, Ill. (LP.) -The Loyola

accepted six proposals--compos'­ing
,the Student Opinion Commission.
Each of these was called a step toward
promoting more effective commurllca­tion
between the student body and the
administration. The six, proposals which
were accepted as a unit follow: '
1. That the"Union inquire -into
, the scope of authority of each Dean.
2. That the Union, when con­fronted
with a problem outside its
own authority, present the pr'oblem
t<l the proper adminis1irativecom­mittee
or Dean, together with a
suggested solution.
3. That the Union furnish its

purpose in reality? The whole sham
is an insult to your intelligence. We
see only huge titles; rarely is their
meaning investigated.
We must re-think this whole area
of the student leader definition. The
Association of Students is, as the
STAG has written before, image­bound
in its thinking. We have an
idea that student activity always ends
with a balance sheet - but the leader
is not just an entrepreneur:.
We do not think of the leader
as a person.
We think that the Student Coun­cil
· should 'use' the officer, when our
thought should be reversed., The
Council exists as a means, not as a
static monument to itself.
We think of the leader as the 'or­ganization.'
For this very concept,
we waste our, leaders by confining
them to the organizing tasks for so­cial
and monetary events, when the
real leader should be delegating and
encouraging the assumption of re­sponsibility
to the non-elected stu­dent.
We must open our minds. The
leader is first a person. And as a
person recognized as exceptional by
his election, the leader first leads on
a person-to-person level. So, the re­ligious,
intellectual, cultural, physi­cal,
and social, leadership ,goes on'
every minute of the day. When does
the class cease to exist in any given
day? The leader's contact with the
voter is primarily personal, not just
through signatures on Student Acti-vity
Cards. -
The class officer should be con­cented
with the spiritual and intel c
lectual welfare of his constituents,
not .9flly the social and fiscal. Such

Time 8ulfge~ted that anti-intellectu­slism

that this is due to the nature of
Cath~ie education, we do feel that the

thiS spirit is rampant among the stu­dent

in orther quarters of the university.
We see the search for knowledge lost

introduction to' sla'vish note-taking,

The' pursuit of knowledge, instead of
being central to these courses, becomes
relegated .to the position of an extra­curricular
activity. Teachers, in many
eases, offer solutions to problems be­fore
they are opened to inquiry. Instead
of being freed to find the truth, the
student is handed it. In many cases, it
is presented in condensed logical form.
The student who' would seek to dis­cover
answers in a more scholarly'
fashion, if not considered arrogant, is
~ertainly,felt to be wasting time with
such a paintstaking approach.

Anti-Intellectual
A collegiate class of three-hundred
is not merely a product of circum­stances-
it is an opportunity. The
Student Association presently views
this opportunity from a limited so­cial
viewpoint, i.e. class officers run
Mixers. The officers create larger
Mixers in Weekends and Festivals.
To make this creativity successful,
these four elected 'leaders' must be­c;
ome super-salesmen to raise the ne­cessary
basic capital needed for the
"biggest and best social event in the
school's history."
The STAG isn't knocking mixers
to abolish them. But when mixers.
salesmanship, temporary appointment
tasks (e.g. yearbook editors), and
the "greatest of all time" Festival,
are the extent of this opportunity's
use, some one's thinking is based on
a poor set of values.
Is the mixer the only and primary
social function or effort to be expect­ed
of an officer? Let's go to the word,
leader. And you have to go to that
word - you voted for it - you
voted for John Smith because you
thought he was the best leader.
Is John' Smith a leader when he
sells mixer tickets? Is he a leader
merely for his attendance at Council
meetings? Is he a leader merely be­cause
he knows a large number of
his class' members? Doesn't it seem
ironic? I nde e d, ridiculous? Any
theerleader can sell tickets, any ra­tional
animal can attend meetings,
and any Jimmy Fiddler can recog­mze

are 175 white' rats,..wh·ose glu­,

every two months. The purpose
of the study is to ascertain
.whether or not the glucose ab­sorption
of these animals varies
wit.h their ages. A variation in
glucose absorption has been
detected in different human pa­tients
tested in hospitals. It is
Dr, Klimas' hope that his re­search
may indicate whether
~uch a condition normally ac­companies
aging. In a situation
where duplicate experiments
are carried ou't on test animals
conflicting r.esuIts are often ob­tained.
Should it be proved that
glucose absorption doe s vary
with age, then such results could
be resolved by merely indicat­ing
the ages of the animals in­volved.
According 'to Dr. Kli­mas,
such experimentation could
be resolved by merely indicat­ing
the ages of the animals in­volved.
According to Dr. Klimas
such experimentation could be
the basis for future work in the
problem of diabetes.
In the pas,t 'two years, Dr.
Klimas has received a total of
$9,000 to carry out various re­search
projects.

COMMITMENT AND ACTION: AN ETHIC
The subject was segregation. In earnest conversation with
one of l1l.y enlightened brothers from the parochial nemesis to
the north, we had almost rea.ched the root and crux of the prob­lem,
human dignity and Christian duty, whei1 he hung back and
would go no further. Quoth the craven, "I know there is a prob­lem
- I just don't know the answer." Rebutting the charge of
.superficial Christianity, he answered, "I don't know. I really
d011't lOlovl'." Herem lies the point - the conversation had pro~
ceeded to the point of some possible common resolution when he
refused to malIe a decision, a committment, or even a basic work­ing
approach to the problem. Committment, the bane of the
almost neurotically wary, had friqhtene"d him into a hole of not
j'ndecision, but a decision not to deCIde.
Where is the ethic of the indecisive? Ignoring a problem,
they seem to find peace in the .knowledge that they are not doing
anything wrong; they are merely not doing anything. The fal­,
lacy of no action being an acceptable, if not really good position
has impressed these people as "moderate", one applauded by
many if we can judge by the hordes of weakminded nothings that
call themselves men. From the humanist point of view, these men
in themselves are tragic and unworthy of their name;' but more
tragic is their impediment.to action by any concerned minority
of ill tclJigent men.
Granted that discussion of problems is one of today's most
popular parlor games - a dilettante can always sound impres­supporting

Tennis Season To Start Apr. 7;
PoorTurnoutHampers Netmen
Unlike the past three issues in which this column was
devoted to basketball, recent happenings have given rise to this
digression as there is a trans'ition from basketball and indoor
athletics to baseball, track, and spring sports.
"The following program of Varsity Sports, open to later
additions, is conducted by the University: Basketball, Base­ball,
Track. Cross Country, Tennis, and Golf." These latter
are the varsity sports here at Fairfield. according to the Studen t
Handbook distributed at the start of the school year.
No one questions the fact that there is basketball, and
without a doubt, it is the sport at Fairfield. This is due to the
work of the coaches as well as the cooperation of the fine crop
of players who come here every year - or, almost every year.
But. basketball is in a class by itself.
Baseball, supposed1y America's favorite pastime, is cer­tainly
not that at the U. Track and cross country continue
to exist, but not on the level they should. Tennis and golf are
also in a cl ass by themselves; there is no golf team, and the
number who showed up. for a recent meeting of the tennis
team could be counted on one hand.
As was mentioned in a previous issue, Fairfield has not
added a sport since 1950. In the past year, attempts have been
made to organize soccer, wrestling, and rifle teams - at least
on an intramural level. Besides these, there w~re cries for hockey
and even football. Of all these mentioned, only soccer seems
to have been well supported. Where exactly does this leave us?
Two or three or even a handful of interested students
will pressure for some athletic activity. But what kind of a
team can you have with just handful of interested students?
Then, interest is only a start; practice and practice and more
practice is necessary to' field a squad of any repute. How many
students are really interested - interested enough to give up
their free time, weekends, and vacations. tilt practice when their
only reward is a letter or a jacket? . .
. Stude~t apathy is not merely limited to athletics. When
attendance at lectures is limited to a scant· few, when interest
in campus publications in the case of the Stag and the New
Frontiers is, with rare exception, limited to .freshmen and
sophomores, one is left with the impression of the servant who
buried his talent. In· keeping with the notion of the well­rounded
student, it would be well for each potential athlete,
journalist, etc. to come down from his 'Prima Donna' stool
and broaden his horizon.

Prescinding from !he more obvious social, scientific, and
theological ramifications 'of the theory: Darwin's 'ideas concern­ing
the "origin of species" may one day find refutation in their
3imple claim that man has evolved from the figurative and widely
misnamed ape (described by Huxley as "a hairy quadraped, fur­nished
with a tail and pointed ears, probably arborea~ in habits")
into something better. Man hasn't. Natural selection caught hold
of the nineteenth century imagination not simply because it was
a well-documented and thoroughly researched theory; not be­cause
it offered justification for the philosophy of grab; -not be­cause
it seemed to be an empirical supplement to' the theoretical
devastation of the "Higher Criticism": of tile biblical scholars;
but because of the blatant evidence, manifest in any small crowd,
of the brutish qualities in men.
From Rousseau to the Manichaeans (a, spectrum which
necessarily must include amoilg others and rea(iing from radical
left to reactionary' right, Wordsworth, Twain, St. Thomas Aquinas,
St. Paul, and St. Augustme) there has been little doubt that man
was at one time - barring interference of some sort - quite
another tiling from that which he now is. The disagreement
among the above rests on two points: first, .the cause of the
change; secoild, whether its effect was' good or bad. -
Assuming everyone is right for a change about the causes,
the interferences; assuming the factors cOl:\tributing to the state
in which man now finds himself to .be pivine Sanction, Civiliza­tion,
the Industriai ReVOlution, the Civil War" the Spanish Amer­ican
War, the Boer War and several major skirmishes last week
in Viet Nam, Laos, Algeria and Argentina, not to mention the
passage 'of civil rights and social welfare legislation, the decline
of the Roman Empire, the "Fail of ,the House of Usher," and
"The Rise of Silas Lapham"; assumin,g <Ill this there remains to
be settled the o,uestion of effect., ,What is the end result, the
thing we call man? Is he good or bad? Or has b.e assumed by
means of a Scholastic distinction the cloak of confidence?
The Scholastic contention is thaim'an is indifferent. He 1'S
~ood insofar as he has being: he is not sO good' insofar as he has
been created and is a limited being. The' one balances the other.
And, with a little intellect and will thrown in to neutralize the
effects of his animality, a situation somewhat akin to but slightly
less potent than a solution in ionic! equiiibl'i''':Ll1 exists. The con­tention
is a safe one. It is also a balance whiCh can be tipped
in either direction as the need arises by the deft metaphysical
thumbs of the Schoolmen. It is hardly the sort of vehicle one
would expect to find converted into the' bandwagon which :O:;-r­winism
became. Neither a sport car nor a'l1!xury car, Eeither a
Mercedes nor a Bentley, it is rather like a compac,t car, economi­cal
and practical but incapable of any re<J,1 .power .and withou.'t
the slightest intention of being beautiful. Like the £ompact car,
Scholastic philosophy, its claims and ideas, may last longer than
its rivals. It may be more cheaply repaired. But it hardly recog­nizes
the fact that, as most all things temporal, it too can hardly
expect to last' forever, not even on the strength of its, tenuous
attachment to eternal truth.
, Despite or because of the Piltdown and Java men, man con­tinues
to exist as he is, getting a little taller, perhaps, as the
years pass, living a little longer, blunting his nerve-ends soo»er
than he has previously. But the changes are arbitrary and for
every man whose life-span has been increased by such devices
as Salk vaccine, another has had his shortened by such devices
as the automatic riflle. Man is still capable of committing the
most despicable acts conceivable. With'the proper stimulus he
can become a lyncher, a liar, a lecher, a thief, a cheat, or a
literary critic (which is frequently a combination of all these
with the addition ofa leech). He is' also capable of being a
lover, a humanitarian, a poet, or a priest, though hardly with
the same consistency or probability.
The difficulty in attempting to define man lies in the fact
that he is beyond definition. He may be acknoweldged, accepted,
and even described but never defined. Definition in its strictest
sense implies a circumscription of the total extension of its ob­ject.
That which is to be defined is also confined within the
limitations prescribed by the definition. Even in descri'bing man
(in the genus-species method called definition by some) the de­scription
must be given in similar terms. Saying that he is a
rational animal is a little better than saying that a horse is an
animal found in stables. It merely gives an indication of the
means by which one may be recognized. - .rust as there are horses
outside of stables, so also is the soul of'nian capable of existence
outside the body. These "definitions'" won't do - the "essences"
they offer are as offensive to the mind as amoergris is to the
nose 'and far less promising.
