2 FU Students Selected' For
Fordham's ,Chilean Program
Fr, Viotor Leeber, S.J., Ad­junct
Professor of the Fordham
College Fifth Chilean Program,
has announced that two Fair­field
Sophomores will accom­pany
him to Chile. William-
Flahive and Jerry Wolf, along
with seven other young men,
were selected by Fordham to
participate in eight months of
undergraduate study at the Uni­versidad
Catolica de Chile from
May to December, 1963.
Fr. Leeber will stay in Chile
for four months. He will com­mute
from the Jesuit High
School, Colegio de St. Ignacio,
to the University where he will
supervise the American Stu­dents.
Two academic programs
will be under his direction. The
first is a "crash" language
course. This intensive drill in
idiomatic Spanish will aid the
students in their mastery of the
language which will be used in
classes, Although all those select­ed
have a background in Span­ish,
this program is necessary
for adjustment to daily use of
the language.
The second program is a sem­inar
on problems in Chile and
South Amercia in general.
Conducted once weekly, this
Seminar will consist in a series
of leotures delivered by guest

Freshman, sophomore, junior, senior-all classes, ages, types,
and conditions-will enjoy mild, rich, filter-tip Marlboro­available
in pack or box in every oT}e of our fifty statf:s.
It is a scientific fact that, girls reach emotional maturity earlier
than boys. For this reason freshman girls are reluctant to make
romantic alliances with freshman boys, but instead choose men
from the upper classes. .
Thus the freshman boys are left dateless, and many is the
night the entire freshman dorm sobs itself to sleep. An equally
moist situation exists among upper-class girls. With upper-class
men being snapped up by freshman girls, the poor ladies of the
upper class are reduced to dreary, manless evenings of Monop­oly
and home permanents.
It pleasures me to report there is a solution for this morbid
situation-indeed, a very simple solution. Why don't the two
great have-not groups-the freshman boys and the upper-class
girls-find solace with each other?
True, there is something of an age differential, but that need
not matter. Take, for example, the case of Albert Payson
Sigafoos and Eustacia Vye.
Albert Payson, a freshman in sand and gravel at Vanderbilt
University, was walking across the campus one day, weeping
softly in his loneliness. Blinded by tears, ,he stumbled upon
the supine form of Eustacia Vye, a senior in wicker and raffia,
who was collapsed in a wretched heap on the turf.
"Whydon't you watch where you're going, you minor youth?"
said Eustacia peevishly.
"I'm sorry,lady," said Albert Payson and started to move
on. But suddenly he stopped, struck by an inspiration. "Lady,"
he said, tugging his forelock, "don't think me forward, but I
know why you're miserable. It's because you can't get a date.
Well, neither can 1. So why don't we date each other?"
"Surely you jest!" cried Eustacia, looking with scorn upon
his tiny head and body.. . '._ . '. __ .
"OlI, I know I'm younger than you are;" saId Albert Payson;
"but that doesn't mean we can't find lots of fun things to do
together."
."Like what?" she asked.
"Well," said Albert Payson, "we could build a Snowman."
"Bah!" said Eustacia, grinding her teeth.
"All right then," said Albert Payson, "we could go down to
the pond and catch some frogs."
"Ugh!" said Eustacia, shuddering her entire length.
"Howaboutsome Run-Sheep-Run?" suggested Albert Payson.
"You are callow, green, and immature," said Eustacia, "and
.I will thank you to remove your underaged presence from
mine eyes." "
Sighing, Albert Payson lighted a cigarette and started away.
"Stay!" cried Eustacia.
He stayed.
"Was that a Marlboro Cigarette you just lighted?" she asked.
"What else?" said Albert Payson.
"Then you are not immature!" she exclaimed, clasping him
to her clavicle. "For to smoke Marlboros is the very essence
of wisdom, the height of American know-how, the incontro­vertible
proof that you can tell gold from dross, right from
wrong, fine aged tobaccos from pale, pathetic substitutes. Albert
Payson, if you will still have me, I am yours!", -
"I will," he said, and did, and today they are married and

Duluth, Minnesota.

The Judicial Branch of the Student Government will have
the ultimate resoonsibility of enforcing the regulations of the
University and will have jurisdiction in all cases where U?-i~er­sity
regulations are violated by undergraduates. Two dlstmct
Courts will comprise the Judicial Branch.
1) Student Court: The Student Court is an appellate Court
and will sit in <all cases not concerning withdrawal, suspension,
or probation, but may recommend such action to the Supreme
Court. Nine Justices, a Recorder, and a Clerk of Court, all
appointed to office by the President after completion of petition
signing by the students, will constitute this Court. Only eight
Justices will have voice and vote in cases, with the Chief Justice.
voting only in case ofa tie. A minimum of five and necessarily
any odd number higher to nine is 'a quorum for any session.
. Any member of the University community (students, admin­istration,
and faculty) may report. violations of College regula­tions
to the Dean of Men, who will notify the offender of his
punishment two weeks prior to the date of service of punishment.
The student then has the right to appeal to the Student Court,
if he feels the tmnishment unwarranted or unjust. It will be
left to the offender to supply proof of his innocence. Offending
groups may also appeal and each individual will be given the
opportunity to speak. At all times the Court will operate behind
closed doors, and the punishment passed by this Court will be
commensurate with the offense, according to the Code estab­lished
in the Legislature. ~
2) Supreme Court: Consisting of the Chief Justice ~of the
Student Court, the Dean of Men, and the Dean of Studies, the
Supreme Court will be concerned with cases involving possible
suspension, expulsion, or probation. Functioning by writ of
certiorari, the Supreme Court requires only one positive vote of
its membership to hear a case. The Dean of Studies shall conduct
each meeting.
The above presentation, it must be remembered, is an analysis
of only suggested proposals. Before the Student Association has
the opportunity to vote, the administration must approve the
constitution. The Council sincerely invites any comment or
criticism on these proposals, because this constitution, if ratified,
will be your constitution.

Editorial Commentary
Compulsory Mass: Admission Of Failure-
Last issue's editorial concerning
compulsory Mass posited one com~
man explanation for the system
which advocates compulsion to pro­vide
the occasion for commitment.
Using compulsion to force com­mitment
tO,or away from, the
Church and using the privilege to
live in the dormitory as a sanction,
are admissions of failure by the au~
thorities here to develop an atmos­phere
favorable to commitment
through their personal contacts and
through the efforts of the already­committed.
The pro-compulsion minority
facilely demonstrate the effectiveness
. of the system by producing.statistics
proving the greater participation in
the sacraments with compulsion.
The statistics are opposesd by the
antagonism such a system· evokes
and by the less tangible, but no less
real. breach between the cleric and
layman.
The central question concerning
compulsion, then, changes from
"What is a Catholic?" to "Is com­pulsion
the only means to the end?"
We cannot consider the former
question because the emotional re­action
to compulsion clouds the is­sue
of commitment.
The shortcomings of pastoral care
and the approaches to the issue of
the Catholic collegian in the Cath­olic
University must be radically
analyzed through the discussion of
three questions: What· is a. priest?
Second, Why a Catholic college for
laymen? And thirdly, What is a
community? .
From a negative viewpoint: Is a
priest to be a policeman for capri­cious
undeigrads, professor, moder­ator
of activities, Retreat master,
lecturer,-is the sum total of these
the definition of a priest? Where is
the guidance and counseling? What
are we training priests for? Does the
Church sincerely believe that one
Dean of Resident Students, plus one
assistant Dean, plus a handful of
Prefects, who must also prepare
classes, plus a host of-other profes­sors,
who are also priests, will have
any real pastoral effect on this com­munity
of Catholic collegians? Is
presence enough for a priest to ful­fill
his pastoral role?
Again, negatively: What is the
Catholic collegian coming to the
Catholic college for? Isn't one of the
reasons to be in a Catholic environ­ment
,and community? Is this a
community when it is held together
by. the black strands of type in a rule
book and little personal contact? Is
the Chapel here to bring individ­uals
back into the Church or to
work toward greater growth in the
Church? .
If any means is true to commit­ment,
it is' the means which neces­sarily
involves personal development
through the growth. within the
committed and their personal con­tact
with the persons who are un­committed
or committed .away Jrom
. the Church. How can the. uncom­mitted
find the person of Christ in
a society In which there are so few
persons?
The present system of compul­sory
Mass may have to remain as a
temporary evil. But we cannot tol­erate
~e use of such an imperfect
means under the banner of anti­original
sin techniques for any
lengthy period. This Lenten suspen­sion
of the compulsory rule must
not merely be a period to count
heads and denounce the late-risers
and the uncommitted'. This is the
time for re-thinking and re-working
the Prefects' role in dormitory
life; the. "finger-in-the-dike" 'fact of
two Spiritual Advisors among a
thousand students; the amount of
time the priest has for personal con­tact
and counseling.
Perhaps, admitting practical exi­gencies,
the system must remain for
this semester. But September must
bring new life and a n~w approach
to Fairfield as a community or the
commitment will long remain lim­ited
to only a few.

This is one of those rare times forme,
My unusually ardent desire to try'
my skills in competing for a, place on

;the University. After two and one-half
'wee,ks o~ practice I was informed by
means of a posted bulletin that I was
. no longer considered a candidate for
the squad. Up. to that time there had
not even been formal try-outs for the
position for which I was trying.
I guess I m~st be under a, grave mis­apprenhension
in thinking that a can­didate's
abilities should be duly scrut­inized
by those in charge before he is
flung by the wayside. It seems only
fair to me. I could understand my being
rejected if I had displayed incompet­ence
at my intended position, but only!
three days of outdoor practice pre­ceded
my dishonorable dIscharge.
Atone of our practice sessions we
candidates were· told that interest in
the sport and sacrifice for the team
meant just as much as ability did. I
, don't enjoy disproving, statements but
I'm a walking contradiction of that one.
I subjected myself to a great deal of
personal sacrifice on behalf of the team
and it got me nowhere. Perhaps our
baseball team would be able to show a
.better recol'd if unjust incidents such as
miJ;le were prevented from occurring.

You again speak ,of a choice to be
Catholic based on what you think is
a necessary prerequisite, "community
commitment - through compulsion.".
Where is the commitment when the
activity' is induced by compulsion?
What is the community problem, and
why is compulsory Mass attendance the
only answer to this problem? .
Again, I .stress the point that I am
only putting forth certain questions
which came to mind while reading
this editorial, and take insult with
accusation as to my off-campus cold­ness
as a Catholic. Sirs, you do not

To the Editor:
Most popular among the various ar~
guments put forth in favor of the dis­continuance
of compulsory Mass on
campus are: (1) our two sister New
England Jesuit colleges have done so,
therefore Fairfield must follow suit;
(2) where one is forced. to attend Mass,
very little spirituai benefit can be
gained; and (3) the compulsion stifles
the incentive of the individual to attend
l\1ass on his own.
• The first argument merits no discus­.
sion whatever as it bears no relevance
to the problem. The two latter argu­ments,
though popular; require some
qualification.
When a student has the desire to
attend Mass where compulsion exists,
that pressure becomes remote. Thus,
one attending Mass of his own accord,
although an external compulsion exists,
will receive the 'same amount of grace
he would were the.te· no compulsion.··
Likewise, many students, as CatholICS,
have the desire to attend Mass, but
due to one reason or another, lack th~
necessary· drive to _actually get- to
Mass..For them, the~ compulsion serves
:as an added push. Or' impetus enabling
them to fulfill a wish they might not
otherwise attain.
Along with the grace derived from
attendance at Mass, there is also the
added. grac,r gained from the practice
of the virtues' of obedience ill yielding
to a higher authoritY,and humility in
the recognition of and submission to
that authority.
For those downright indignant at
attending Mass under. compulsion,. it
can be supposed that they are, more
than not, indignant at attending Mass,
regardless of the compulsion, or for
that matter, the day of the week. Yet,

Fellow' Catholics:
I have not waged arguments, "int:>
the early morning hours," as to the
effectiveness and benefits of such a
ruling as compulsory mass attendance.
From my standpoint as a "cold Catho­lic,"
the ultimate decision will have
little effect as to my attendance. How­ever,
I would appreciate this oppor­tunity
to set forth my view;x>int, from
a very unauthoritative position on
Yarrow Road, not strictly concerning
the ruling, but in answer to the narrow
mindedness exhibited in the editorial
of March 27, 1963.
First. of all, I question the validity
of the source (if there was one) which
prompted the' author of this editorial
to put forth such a sweeping general­ization
concerning the concept of a
Catholic held by the so-called "major­ity."
Who have you approached, and'
are certain that he was a true repre­'
sentative of the majority opinion?'you
speak of a "definition of a Catholic
Layman," held by the "minority," yet
fail to give it. What is your concept of
a true Catholic Layman?
In your comparison of the Catholic
school (concerned with both the truth
and good) and the secular school (con­.
cerned with merely truth) I question
"your understanding of what' truth is.
Can truth be divorced from, or lacking
in good? I fail to see the distinction
made between truth' and good, and on
a purely philosophical' basis wonder if
you do. Further, if for purposes of dis­cussion,
we assume your distinction to
be true, what makes you feel that Cath­olic
schools have a monopoly on good.
Again, I ask what are "the full rami­fications
of his (a student's)' commit­ment
as a CatholIC?" Do you really feel
that a student's choice of not attend­ing.
Mass a prescribed number of times
a week (not of course considering the
reasons b~hind such a choice, except
to assume· corruption) necessitates a
stand as to his Catholicity! I cannot see
.the conneotion between an "off-campus"
boarder· imd a non-Catholic, nor the
basis for your ridiculous ordering of
Catholicism into three levels of vary­ing
heat intensities. However, I do see,
that to make such a scandalous accusa~
tion does entail a lack of information,
both as to the nature of a Catholic
'andto the nature of your oppbsition.'
You speak of i'worshipping as a Catho­lic,"
wen, worship and Mass attendance
are not necessarily synonom·ous. There
are other methods used to worship
(during the week!) which are just as
valid and in which real freedom may

Bea, Kung and Fairfield
TIME magazine, that nationally famous one-hundred page
weekly editorial, recently carried. an article about the wave of
liberalism that is sweeping through the Catholic Church. This
newfound liberalism is deeply involved in the ecumenical move­ment
and the Second Vatican Council, but it also imports sweep­ing
changes and effects regarding the entire emphasis of what it
means to be a Catholic. This spirit of rebirth in the Church was
graphically portrayed during the visit of the Jesuit, Augustin
Cardinal Bea, to the United States. He was enthusiastically re-
-ceived in his leoture by Catholic and Protestant alike. In the words
of Lutheran Krister Stendahl, "This kind of thing which Cardinal
Bea is speaking of is not just a mood in the Roman Catholic
Church Dight now, but something which is here to stay."
Greeted with equal enthusiasm was the visit of F·ather Hans
Kung, one of the official theologians of the Vatican Council, who
discussed the vital question of freedom within the Catholic
Church. Kung very rightly maintains that despite certain restric­tive
actions of the Church in the past. Catholicism is by its
nature a free society. He goes on to recommend that the Church
publicly admit the right of men to worship as they please, that
she abolish the Index of Forbidden Books, and that she grant
her sons greater liberty of action.
And so, what has all this got to do with us at Fairfield
University? The implications are clear. Greater liberty of action
among the members of the Church will also demand greater
responsibility. Greater responsibility will demand an intelligent,
educated, thinking Catholic. As the Catholic Church continues
this great movement toward emphasis on liberty, inquiry, and
the existential response of the individual, the Catholic university
must be looked to as the spearhead of this movement. In other
words, we can no longer afford to turn out stereotyped, mediocre,
non-thinking Catholics.
We are fortunate here at Fairfield to have many theologians
and educators who have recognized this movement, and who
have given it their complete support. What we must do now is
to implement this reawakened spirit within the Church in the
educational realm. A new emphasis must be placed upon the
inquiry, research, and personal interest of each student within
the educational community of Fairfield.
This new awakening- of liberty has appeared providentially
at the right moment for Fairfield and all other Catholic universi­ties.
With<>Ut it, we ,are doomed to mediocrity. With it, we have
the promise of making our university evolve il1lto the fruition of
Catholic education to surpass any other educational institution
our country has known. The fulfillment of this new spirit will
bring a new age of Catholicism, beside which the glow of the
so-called Christian Middle Ages will pale.
Question of the fortnight: How can there be a post-Christian
age, when the Christian age has not yet arrived?

Fr. Murray, S.J.,
Club Moderator
Since 1948, the founding date
of the Fairfield University Glee
Club, Fr. John P. Murray has
been its Moderator. He has ex­perienced
sixteen years as both
spiritual leader and guiding di­rector
of the Club. His activities
are not however confineq to our
club alone. He is one of the
founding members of the Inter­collegiate
Glee Club Festival,
and is recognized and held in
esteem by all the directors of
the College Glee Clubs who
take part in the competition
each year.
Those things we all say will
take care of themselves usually
don't. Father Murray is the one
who does them for the Glee
Club.
Music itself, however. does
not make up the bulk of the
spirit which this group reflects.
It goes further than -this (if, in­deed,
anything goes further to­ward
expressing a thing than
music does). They arp., though,
the most highly disciplined
group at Fairfield, aside from
the Jesuits themselves, and each
concert and every song..,this dis­cipline
may be clearly seen.
High morale cannot be laid to
the doing of one person, and
the spirit which is the Glee
Club's is the ingredient which
they have because of its individ­ual
members, and its single goal.
What satisfies them most, wheth­er
it be in concert or competi­tion
is that they come away
with a Knowledge that they
have done their very best work.
Their success, in their own eyes,
is based entirely on their ability
to achieve something in a song
and in a concert.
With this in mind we may
understand why so many mem­bers
would return from a con­cert
in Ansonia last weekend
and gather around a tape record­er
to hear the evening's pre-sentation
replayed. .
Talk about post mortems!
Here was a group reviewing its
own performance close analyis
in playback. It is clear that they
are proud of their work; they
listen for errors that they may
be avoided. They listen to the
finer sounds that they may real­ize
more fully what they have
achieved, and will continue to·
achieve.

Steve Delehanty,
Glee Club Accompanist
Steve Delehanty, '64, has been
accompanist to the Glee Club
for three years ranks as one of
the most talented members of
the student body. When he "Vas
three years old his father taught
him basic piano chords, but he
did not begin lessons until the
age of seven. In the Glee Club
he is looked upon as being pos­sessed
of much natural talent,
which fact has been attested in
the last two years not only by
his playing, bu{also' by his
ability at original composition.
In 1962 Mr. Harak invited Steve
to play a selection which he had
composed. The number was so
widely accepted during the sea­son
that he has again chosen an
original piece for a solo in the
program.
He has cOI1lPoseciseveral pieces
and agrees with the opinion of
those who detect a Romantic
strain as the predominant tone
of his compositions. It is inter­esting
that he composes in his
mind, and has yet to name or
write on paper any of his own
work. For the musician, how­ever,
this work is incidental.
Presently Steve is completing a
piano sonata (a musical com­position
for solo instrument or
instruments, usually in three
or four movements, and having
unity of subject, but different
tempa and rhythm.) He also is
helping the Bensonians toar­range
selections for the coming
year.

SPECIAL NEWS FEATURE
It has been said that the
Fairfield University Glee Club
has done more to enhance our
reputation in a single year than
any. other org·anization has
done in fifteen. This is saying
a lot considering some pretty
fair ball teams over the sea­Sons.
Yet it is true in its way.
Most people in Connecticut 'and
Massachusetts, when you re­veal.
that you go to -Fairfield,
remark what a fine Glee- Club
it has for a Prep .School. Some
New Yorkers are still writing
for Glee Club Concert tickets
to "Fairfield University - Near
Yale."
Fortunately, much has been
done in the last years to pin­point
our isolated two hundred
acreS in residential Fairfield
County. This task has been
accomplished in large part by
our well known and always
impressive 77-member Glee
Club which presents seventeen
concerts in a line that never
ends from Boston to New York
between December and May.
In its history the Glee Club
has grown from a choral group
.Qf forty voices to an ensemble
of . eighty, assisted by soloists-a
a close harmony quartet, and
an octet. From a few local pre­sentations,
it has scheduled an
annual series of concerts both
at home and on the road. The
Club has appeared with the
New York Philharmonic' Or­chestra
in Carnegie Hall, under
the direction of Alphonse D'Ar­tega,
and has performed at the
invitation of Conn~cticut Sym- .
phony Orchestra. They have
become, in fact, what critics
described as "technically pro­ficient
on a strictly professional
level."
The versatility of the group
is demonstrated by the breadth
of its repertoire, which ranges
this year from their own ar­rangement
of the popular show
number, "Hey, Look Me Over,"
to "Drink To Me Only With
Thine Eyes,"and again to their
sensitive renditions of Richter's
"Creation" and Palestrina's
"Hod-ie Christus Natus Est."

won the 100 yard dash, placed
third in the broad jump and ran
a strong third leg of the all
important mile relay. Fairfield's

for third place in the pole vault
after severely spraining his
ankle on his first jump.

A year ago, when this column first appeared, it
contained an account of the tragic Emile Griffith- Benny
"Kid" Paret fight and a defense of the sport of boxing
in the aftermath ·of P~ret's death.
One year later, almost to the day, another fighter
has died due to injuries incurred in a championship
fight. Davey Moore, the ex-4'eatherweight Champion of
the World, collapsed into a coma and died several days
after a knockout at the hands of Ultiminio "Sugar"
Ramos.
The clamor to ban the sport is now louder than
ever. In Rome,' the Pope decried it as "'barbaric" -and
Governor Brown of California has urged, that the -leg­islature
of that state declare boxing illegal.
However, this reporter must go along with his pre­vi.
ous stand and that of the New York State committee
which investigated prizefighting ·after the Griffith~Paret
,ip.cident. 'I1hat is, that boxing should be controlled and
revamped, but not abolished.
Arguments for the continuation of pugilism have
been cited often, here and elsewhere. Everyone is fa­miliar
with these. But there is one argument, one point
worth stTessing.
When two fighters enter the ring, they know what
they are doing and, are aware of the chances they take.
They are not forced to fight against their will. With
this fact in mind, this writer can see no justice in the
arbitrary banning of the sport by any legislature, state,
national or otherwise.
The only way to avoid serious mishaps in any sport
is through research upon the cause of such mishaps.
Research has diicovered that Moore's injury came as a
result of hitting his head on the ring rope - many
others come not from punches, but from the impact
o~ head hitting the canvas. More ring ropes, better ring
padding and heavier gloves may be the answer. New
York is also experimenting with two minute rounds on
the theory that injuries are more likely to occur in the
last minute of a round when a fighter is tired and his
reflexes dulled. This research and experimentation can
result in a much safer sport for the fighter.
But, banning the .sport is no more the answer than
banning automobiles is the answer to traffic dea'ths.

Director of the International
Student Travel Center, told staff
members' at a meeting that he
had CQffipleted final details on
hundreds of jobs for the ISTC

this summer.
Mr. Gordon said he had re­quests
from prominent European
families for male students to act
as chauffeurs in France and crew
on yachts in Denmark, Sweden
and Norway. One lucky "Chauf­feur/,
he noted, would drive' a
Ferrari in Paris. There are also
'a number of seafaring openings
, of longer duration in the fall
F. Suman,' G~Cincotta, C. Bialowas and and winter for stewards, deck
and engine room hands on for­eign
freighters and passenger
ships.
The best paying jobs this sum­mer,
Mr. Gordon pointed out,
will be in restaurants and fac­tories.
Boys and girls who wait
on tables can expect to earn in
wages and tips close to $200 a
month. Factory pay in several
CQuntries will also run to about
$200 a month. Mr. Gordon em­phasized
that the special inter­est
jol;>s should go to the best
qualified students who apply the
earliest as most all of the jobs
listed by the ISTC would have
to be filled by May 15 to meet
the planning deadilnes set by
European employers.

On Thursday evening, March
28, the Fairfield University
Young Democratic Club spon­sored
a lecture by Mr. E. J. Mc­Callum,
Jr., President of the
Citizens Anti-Communist Com­mittee
of Connectictut (CACCC).
Mr. McCallum addressed an
overflow audience on the dan­gers
of global and national
communism.
The speaker illustrated his
lecture with a slide film called,
"Communism on the Map,"
which, he claimed, historically
documented the spread of Inter­national
Communism. At the
conclusion of the film every
country in the world was color­ed
red or 'pink' with the excep­tion
of the United States and
Canada. Mr. McCallum said he
felt the United States was in
real danger of falling to the
Communists. "My grandchildren
at the head of a committee to
filer o:.:t all American agents."
Dr0/ Lehman concluded his
talk on the communists by say­ing
that, "if communism is to
prove a threat more than a nuis­ance,
it will have to create a
disturbance from within."
The Radical Right
The radical right is similar to
the left in method. This party
also works on the government
from within. Groups such as ,the
Ku Klux Klan havepoirited
this out.
The followers of the right are
linked tOigether by modes of
frustration. "They doubt ,the
worth of our government as an'
organization for the good of the NEW CKS OFFICERS:
people. They would rather go J. McLaughlin. '
back to "the good old days,"
comments Dr. Lehman. It is
idealogical and whimsical, and
in many cases has. split within
itself already.
"Like the communists," con­tinues
Dr. Lehman, "they be­lieve
all opposition to be con­spiracy.
They use underhanded
tactics as a means to enter the
government. They certainly can­not
enter it legally."
Dr. Lehman closed his talk
by saying that, "the two parties
ar'e out to replace our present
form of government and each
other as well. However I be­lieve
that if any change is to
come about, it will be through
the efforts of the Radical Right
on the Republican G.O.P."
