Springtime Jlixer
of the University for the next
five to ten years has been com­piled.
The. second step -toward
the achievement of the ,ten mil­lion
dollar goal,according to
Mr. Robertson, will be to culti­vate
the .different areas of po­tential
financial support.
The new director stressed the
need for suppoI1t from within
the University in .order to gain
the respect and support from
those outside the University. To
date there have been three
moves in this direction. The
Class of 1962 presented a Me­morial
Gift to the school of
$23,000 at the time of their grad­uation
last June. In 1961 the
annual Alumni Fund was found­ed,
and in the Fall of 1962 the
Father's Council.
An initial project for the Di­rector
will be the preparation of
a brochure illustrating the Uni­versity's
present stage of de­velopment,
and 'anticipated
needs. This "presentation piece"
will be forwarded to various
foundations and corporations,
and will be followed by more
detailed literature and by per­sonal
contacts.
Mr. Robertson stated that his
office anticipates rapid progress.
As plans proceed indications as
to future construction would be
announced. He s-aid that priori­ties
as to the type of building
would be forthcoming. "The pro­jeot
right now," he said, "is to
tell the Fairfield story to the
various community publics."
The Four Preps
Close W'kend with
May 12 Concert
The Four Preps, Capitol re­cording
stars, will present a con­cert
in the Gymanisum on Sun­day
afternoon, May 12 as the
main attraction of ,the 1963 Dog~
wood Festival. In announcing
the ,appearance of the Four
Preps, Dogwood Festival Gen­eral
Chairman, James White
said, "We are proud to present
an attraction of such stature.
This group puts on a great
show, and their whole act is
geared for a collegiate audi­ence."
Office of Development will assist
in co-ordinating the progr'am,
and in establishing contacts out­side
of the University.
The new office is under the
direction of Mr. Stanley G.
Robertson of Metuchen, New
Jersey. Mr. Robertson, a gradu­ate
of St. John's University,
Class of 1952, is associated with
the Robert H. Devlin Company
of Bronxville, New York. He
plans to relocate in Fairfield this
week. He will serve as develop­ment
consultant for this project.
The Devlin Company was en­listed
last year at the time of
the founding of the University
Development -Fund, andpartici­pated
as counsultant in the or­ganization
of the Alumni Drive,
Senior Class Gifts and the
Father's Council. The Univer­sity
has established the Devlin
representative on campus at this
time in order to keep in step
with present trends among other
universities and eolleges.
Mr. Robertson explained that
while seeking gifts of money
from foundations, corporations,
and individuals is a !team effort,
it is advisable to consolidate the
project in one office in order to
present the University to the
public in a way that will add to
its prestige. The new director,
already at work in his office in
the Gymnasium, began by de­termining
the needs of the vari­ous
departments of the school.
In line with this study, a full

MR. STANLEY G. ROBERTSON
The' University, in league
with the ten million dollar New
Horizons program initiated in
1962, has establis.hed a perman­ent
Office of Development for
the purpose of exploring and
aduating the VlariouS financial
potentials available to the .uni­versity.
Announcement of the
move was made by the Rev,
George S. Mahan, S.J., Assist­ant
to the President.
Since the formation of the
program all activ1ties have been
handled by Fr. Mahan's office.
However, it has become neces­sary
at this time to incorporate
all activities into one office. The

It happened on~ day w~en Choa:te wa~ at the library studying
for one of Mr. Crlmscott s exams m soclOlogy. Mr. Crimscott's
exams were murder-plain, flat murder. They consisted of one
hundred questions, each question having four possible answers
-A, B, C, and D. You had to check the correct answer but the
~ro~ble was that the four choices were so subtly sh~ded, so
lI~tncately worded, that students more clever by far than Choate
Sigafoos were often set to gibbering.
~o on this d~y 9hoate sat in the library poring over his
soclOlogy text, hIS tmy brow furrowed with concentration while
all around him sat the other members of the sociology' class
everyone studying like crazy, everyone scared and" pasty:
Choate looked sadly at their stricken faces. "What a waste!"
he thought. "All this youth, this verve this bounce chained to
musty books in a musty library! We should be out ~inging and
dancing. and cutting didoes on the greensward! Instead we
are here." -
" ~hen, ,~uddenly, an absolute gasser of an idea hit Choate.
LIsten! he shouted to his classmates. "Tomorrow when we
take the exam, let's all-everyone of us-check Choice 'A' on
every question-everyone of them." .
"Huh?" said his classmates.
"Oh, I k!10w"th~t Choi~e 'A' can't be the right answer to
ev~ry questIon, saId Choate. "But what's the difference? Mr.
Cnmscott marks on the curve. If we all check the same ans­wers,
then we all get the same score, and everybody in the class
gets a 'C'."
"Hmm," said his classmates.
"So why should we knock ourselves out studying?" said
Choate. "Let's get out of here and have a ball!" .
So th~y all ran out. and lit Marlboro Cigarettes and had a
ball, as mdeed, you WIll too when you light a Marlboro for if
there ever .was a cigarette to lift the spirit and gladd~n the
heart, to dIspel the shades of night, to knot up the ravelled

cheeks,.lt Is.filtered Marlboros-firm and pure and fragrant and
filled With nch, natural, golden tobacco. And what's more this
d~ulin' smoke comes in soft packs that are' actually soft and
flIp-top boxes that actually flip.
.Well sir, the next morning the whole class did what Choate
saId, and, su~e en~ugh, they all got 'C's, and they picked Choate
up and carned hIm on their shoulders and sang "For He's a
Jolly Good ~ellow" and plied ,him with sweetmeats and Marl­boros
and girls and put on buttons which said "I DOTE ON
CHOATE." "
But they were celebrating too-soon. Because the next time
shrewd old Mr. Crimscott gave them a test, he did not give
them one hundr~d multip~e choice questions. He only gave
~,he~ one questlOn-to WIt: write a 30,000 word essay on

"You and your ideas," they said to Choate and tore off his
epaulets and broke his sword and drummed him out of the
~chool. Today, a broken man, he earns a living as a camshaft

Another addition to Fairfield's
family of area clubs has arrived.
Last February the Berkshire

on the Student Council's confer­ence
table. It's founders, origin­ally
members of the Western
Mass. group, decided to break
away and extend the frontier
of F.U.'s reputation further
north.
Hs officers, Jim Davidson, '64,
Richard Westall, '65, Robert
Reynes, '65, and Jim Kiley, '66,
have already initiated a scout­ing
program. This project en­tails
sending club members to
nearby high schools to interest
prospective juniors and seniors
in a'Mending F.U. They will also
invite all applicants accepted by
Fairfield to the club's sodal
functions during Easter vaca­,
hon and during the summer.
Next year they plan to co­sponsor,
along with the local
Knights of Columbus, a Glee
Club Concert. All profits will
finance their first scholarship
fund. Suggestions from more
experienced area clubs are
invited.

QUESTION:
What do you think of the
advisability ofa major aca­demic
calendar (including
dances, lectures, club meet­ings,
etc.) set up this year
for next year?
ANSWER:
James Davidson. '64
The integration of camp­us
activity through an aca­demic
calendar is neces­saI'Y.
However, such an un­dertaking
at this time is a
ph Ysic a 1 impossibility.
'Dhere are too many vari­ables
involved. The formu­lati'on
of such a calendar
would have to wait until
early next semester.
Joe Burke, '66
It sounds nice and sys­tematic
but I don't think
that it would be feasible. I
think there are too many
occasions where conflict
might develop, e.g. our bas­ketball
schedule, surprise
assignments, and the affairs
of other colleges. So, let's
leave well en'ough alone.
Gerry McCarthy, '63
I think it is not only ad­vis
a b I e, but necessary.
There have been too many
instances during the course
of the past two years when
two activities have been
.scheduled for the same
time and because of the ------------~----------
small size of the school
have hurt the attendance of
one or the other. Although
it is a difficult thing to a'c­compl'ish,
any step in this
direction would be to the
benefit of all activities, whe­ther
social or intellectual.
Al Vestro, '66
A plan of this sort in­volves
too much furesight.

S.A.M. Invites Labor
Relations Speakers
Last Monday the new S.A:M.
Labor Relations Seminar, fea­tured
as their first speaker John
F. Boette, of Manning, Maxwell
and Moore, Inc. Mr. Boette
spoke of Management's relations
with Organized Labor.
As Director of Industrial Re­lations,
he witnessed recently
the ousting of the incumbent
union by its rival, The Team­sters.
He therefore entitled his
presentation, "Now you have a
union - So What!" In explain-
. ing t,he complexities of labor
transactions, Mr. Boette empha­sized
the need for bilateral dis­cretion
and understanding in all
such exchanges, if the optimum
success is to be realized. Such
success exists only when recog.:
nition is given to the rights of
the Public. Following his pre­sentation,
questions Were an­swered
and commented upon,
in light of current Labor Rela­tion
practices.
The next Seminar Monday,
April 8 will offer an opposite
perspective. Entitled "Personnel
Relations in a Non-Union Shop,"
it will emphasize the "preven­tive
approach," by which a com­pany
constitutes as its condi­tions
of em'ployment, the rights
usually' obtained through union
arbitration. By this tactic the
force is prevented from organ­izing
into a union, and manage­ment
retains control.
Mr. E. Thomas Borsody, Per­sonnel
Director of Harvey Hub­bel,
Inc., will direct this sem­inar.
As a competitor .in the
electronics field, Harvey Hub­bel
is u nj que in its lack of
unions and affords an interest­ing
contrast to Manning, Max­well
and Moore. Following his
opening remarks, Mr. Borsody

any problem. For the student who
argues by comparision with secular
schools, the secular school is concern­ed
with truth, but not necessarily
good. The Catholic school must be
concerned with truth and good. sim­ply
because it is concerned with both
the in,tellect and the will.
The definition of Catholic, accordc
ing to the minority, demands a cer­tain
spiritual and intellectual matur­ity
of the students. If, the student is
not mature enough to see, the full
ramifications of his commitment as a
Catholic. then he is given the option
of being a Citholic or not being
Catholic. The "cold" Catholics may
move off-campus; the "hot" Catho­lics
may stay on-campus; the "luke­warm"
Catholics will be vomited off­campus
without choice.
, The LAYMAN, the Sodality's
publication, appeared (Vol. 11, No..
I) with a Questionnaire in which
several students unanimously agreed
that compulsory Mass should cease.
The irony of the opinions and
the present majority's position is Jhat
they establish a far more mature atti­tude
in the students than actually
exists in fact. A Catholic collegian
attending a liturgical function. once
a week is blatantly ignorant or
hypocritically refusing the 'responsi­bilities
he accepts in using his freedom
to worship as a Catholic.
It is ~lso ironic that the question­ed
should posit such a mediocre
sta,ndaid for a Catholic in an institu­tion
founded to produce excellent"
Catholics. '
Hence. this editorial does not stand

What ','Is A
College Paper?
The STAG, like all college news­papers,
is not a literary publication,
(New Frontiers) and it is time that
we got this matter of "journalese"
clear. The language of our newspaper
is;'Aot the hasty, slovenIy, and sen sa­t~
l writing that is to be found in
some carelessly edited newspapers. It
is good, modern English; typical of
all good writing.
The newspaper story differs from
other forms of good, modern English
in that it consists of a greater sim­plicity,
directness, and conciseness.
The leisurely pace of the Freshman
essay is avoided, as is the full blown
style which employs repetitious
speech and rhetorical devices. A news­paper
story does not resemble the
heavy and scholarly term paper, and
it never i n v 0 I v e s "weighty
thoughts" expressed in Scholastic
philosophic jargon.
Catholic is one who does not break
the elementary precepts of the Churdl
concerning Sunday Mass attendance,
Easter duty, and so forth. The posi­tion
of the minority (those favoring
compulsion) is that this does not ful­fill
the definition of Catholic layman.
Such a person is no more a Catholic
than a man wearing a uniform and
carrying a rifle is a ,soldier.
The present situation with 'com­pulsion
is simply this. The Catholic
may attend Fairfield University as a
day-hop or an off-campus boarder
without being compelled to attend
Mass. But, if a student wishes to
board on-campus, he must implicitly
submit to the command to go to
Mass. He is the 20-year-old Catholic
collegian; he should go to Mass with­out
any system to pressure him. But
the statistics show that without com­pulsion,
students do not go to Mass.
Thousands of Communions are not
distributed in the schools that have
dropped the compulsion rule.
For those who do attend Mass,
the compulsory rule should not be
to promote worthwhile events is
lacking; perhaps it is deemed too trite
an activity to merit the interest need- ,
ed to ~ponsor il program; or perhaps, '
as an ASN 'member stated, is an'
Honor Society and is not obliged to
•fulfill the purposes set up .by the
members themselves. If this is the
case, the school has been deceived.
Alpha Sigma Nu owes an explana­tion
to the university. It is hoped
that this explanation' will soon be
forthcoming.
causing a public scandal, it is time
for Catholic colleges to take another
look at the value of participating in
the celebration. We think that when
the feastday of a saint is celebrated
by public orgies, it is time to halt'
the celebration.
We do not object to 'college stu­dents
enjoying themselves, but if en­joyment
includes the destruction of.
thousands of dollars worth of pro- f·
perty, excessive drinking, the reported'
suicide of a seventeen year old girl
last year, and rumors of three suicides
,this year caused when students ac­cepted
a dare to jump from a hotel
window, we can not remain silent.
We believe it is time for the admin­istrators
of Catholic colleges to form­ulate
a firm and united policy with
regard' to their students' participa­tion
in the St. Patrick"s Day cele-brations.
'
Of The
Debate Continues Re:
Compulsory Mass
ASNInactivity
'Questioned
One of the student activities indi­viduated
this yearby its, inactivity is
Alpha Sigma Nu, the Fairfield Uni­versity
chapter of the National
Honor 'Society of Je~uit College'
students.
ASN presented one function this ;
year - National Recollections­which
took place on October 18 and
19, 1962. According to a spokesman
for Alpha Sigma N u at the time of
this' three-part literary program,
National Recollections was offered as
a part of ASN's continuing effort to
"foster a deeper knowledge and ap­preciation
of all the arts."
If one continues to read the article
where these quotations are found
(the October 24, 1962 issue of the
STAG) he will come across this
item: "... the aim of ASN, which
is to provide an 'unclinical and un­diluted
understanding of Art so that
every man's 'life may be enriched'."
Finally, in the 1962 edition of the
Manot", the purpose of the Arts
Forum of ASN is clearly stated:,
"... which was devoted to the ex­tension
of the fine arts."
It is evident that Alpha Sigma Nu
has not fulfilled the above-mentioned
purposes. One can only speculate as
to the reasons for this inactivity; per­haps
the officers, who are also officers
in other major activities, do not have
the time to devote to ASN activity;
perhaps the lack of funds necessary
Students from Catholic colleges
throughout the East converged (>n
New York City two weeks ago to
honor the great saint of Ireland.
Since it was St. Patrick who brought
the Faith to Ireland and the Irish
who were greatly responsible for
establishing the Faith in this country,
we see every reason for Catholic stu­dents
to celebrate his feast.
,We see no reason why Irishmen
should not display their devotion to
their patron saint and the 'Ole Sod'
by 'the wearing of the green' and
strutting up Fifth Avenue. We
would not agree with the Paulist
priest who objected to this parade as
a show of Catholic strength. How­ever,
we must object to the display
made by Catholic students which
was not a 'display of strength, but of,
moral weakness and social imma­turity.
When having a good time means
Officially, compulsory Mass at­tendance
\las been suspended for the
Lenten liturgical season. Unofficially,
the debate - to compel or not to
compel - still wages on into the
early morning hours. The contestants
are few now that the majority, ap­parently,
have decided that attend­ance
should be at the student's choice.
The apparent minority, who favor
the compulsion, may reinstate the
obligation, since they are more likely
in authoritative positions. Some
doubt exists as to whether this edi­torial
or the present debate would
have ever occurred if this minority
was more vociferous inexplaining
the motivations for compulsory
Mass, rather than the contemporane­ous
muteness.
For the serious disputants, the root
question is not the surface issue of
compulsion, but the synchronous
concept of what should the Catholic
layman be? What is a Catholic?
What are the responsibilities of being
a Catholic?

When it came time to choose
a college Ed passee over base­ball
offers from Florida State
and the University of Virginia
preferring the outstanding bio­logy
curriculum of this college.
In collegiate baseball compe­tition,
despite a sore arm in his
sophomore year and weak hit­ting
behind him at times, Ed
still has managed to record a
respectable record. His biggest
thrill in his favorite sport came
from his Itwo consecutive shut­outs
recorded in his sophomore
year against the University of
Hartford and the University of
Bridgeport. The former game
saw him pitching a no-hitter for
8% innings before a scratch
bunt broke up his bid for a hit­less
performance. When not
called upon to do the pitching,
this righty has handled the first
base chores flawlessly and was
the club's third leading batter
last season with a .298 average.
Baseball also occupies his
spare time in the summer for he
has been a member of a semi­pro
team, the Nutley _ (N.J.)
Colonels for five seasons. They
were New Jersey State champs
in 1961.
As to his future plans, Ed
hopes to enroll this fall in the
Georgetown University School
of Dentistry to pursue a career
as a doctor of dental surgery.
As this season commences, i~
is the hope of the baseball root­er
that his pitching success con­tinues,
to enable our baseball,
team to reap the rewards of a
fine year.

Ed Skibiak.
This 6'1" Senior, who has
been the arm of the baseball

Baseball has always been his

of the diamond.
Perhaps something should be
said of the new crew 'since a
capsule preview of the team
was done last issue.
Four sophs are among the
newcomers, namely: Mike Kel­ley,
Bob Batch, Charley Zeig­ler
and Joe Arcudi. Kelley, from
BC High, is an excellent ball
hawk with a strong arm. Bob
Batch from Short Hills, New
Jersey, shapes up at present as
a good possibility at the all-im­portant
position of shortstop.
Charlie Zeigler, who hails from
Summit, New Jersey, is seeking
the hot corner spot and wields
a powerful bat. "Righty" Joe
Arcudi of Westport lines up as
one of the aces of the pitching
corp.
The other prominent newcom­ers
are seniors John Farrell and
Joe Cuzzola. The former,: a
righty hurler from Bridgeport,
hopes to lend aid to an all
important element of the squad.
Joe Cuzzola, a transfer from St.
Bonaventure, has looked very
impressive at second base.
When asked about the team's
chances this season, co-captain
Don Cook suggested that the
team, by virtue of rough condi­tioning
workouts, is in better
shape than in any other year
since he has been here. Con­cerning
the pitching problem,
he sees that we are still lacking
another sturdy starter to back
up veteran Ed Skibiak. On the
condition of the fields, Mr. Cook
was most outspoken, mentioning
that the poor condition of the
infield has been the cause of
many fielding problems to the
Stag squad.
Cassius Clay failed to follow I

THE SPORTS DESK
By PETER GARRY
Despite the fact that we closed the basketball sea­son
on a sorrowTul note with our first losing season in
many years, this popuJ,ar sport still holds the spotlight
at FaiITield. Among the reasons why basketball stays
as the big topic are the current national college tourna­ments
and the pick-up tournaments such as the Norwioh
Invitational.
Concerning the varsity, our second place finish in
1Jhe Tri-State Lea,gue has helped furnish Bob Hutter,
Nick Macarchuk and Freddy Weismiller with All­League
honors. Hutter, in ,gathering the most votes of
any player, repeated his membership on the first squad,
and his roommate, Macarohuk, also hatohed a first club
berth. Weismiller returns again as a second team
choice.
Randy Getchis and' J aok Cryan of Rider and Steve
Mallis of Adelphi completed 1Jhe first team. Further
recognition went to our two first team staTs because
they both re'ceived honorable mention on the E.C.A.C.
small college All-East team.
In this sport, the talk at the end of most seasons
ce~ters about when this growing -school of OUI'S will
depart from the Tri-State League. As it looks now, we
are set for at least two more seasons of Tri~tate com­petition.
If we should leave this league, then where
shrill we go? Are we to ,go independent, or will we be
able to join some league of a better calibre? Playing
in a small lea-gue such as the M.E.C.C.A., whioh has
suoh teams as ~t. Francis, lona, and St. Peter's, would
keep our independent setup and give us the additional
prestige should we win the league. As far as a lea'gue
to enter, Stonehill has a plan for organizing a New Eng­land
Catholic College League along the lines of the
previously mentioned M.E.C.C.A. This league would
indude Stonehill, St. Anselm's, Assumption, St. Mich­ael's
and Fail'field. An added feature of this leaJgue
would be that more than likely the best team would
automatically qualify for the N.C.A.A. small college
regionals. Getting into a league of this type should be
our aim.
SPRING SPORTS
An excellent innovation thi,s spring is the spring
sports calendar which has been prepared by the Car­dinal
Key. These schedules are available in the gym­nasium.
All socially enthusiastic participants of these' spor-ts
ought to take notice of the heavy schedu~e of events on
the weekend of the Dogwood Festival. Since there are
only two social weekends in the whole iyear, I think
that this factor should be kept in mind by the athletic
department. t
