Alvarez '65, Richard Lawless '64,
John O'Connor '64, Dale McNul­ty
'64, Anthony Clementino '63,
and .'John O'Reilly '63 were
chosen for the Forum.
"Nearly everyone of the ap­plicants
had sound constructive
thoughts on the academic' life
of the university," a council
member stated. "The sincere
opinions and the applicants' oth­er
qualifications compounded the
difficulty in selection, but the
Council feels it has chosen six
outstanding representatives.:'
Father Coughlin, S.J., Dean of
Studies, recently emphasized
that the AcadeJTIic Forum should
be completely student oriented.
The Chairman of the entire
Forum will be a student and the
six students will invite those
members of the faculty and ad­ministration
whom they want to.
participate in each discussion.
The selection of the topics will
also come from the six students.

In
Catholics~ Episcopalians
F.U.-Yale Interfaith
An independent group of ten undergraduates from Fairfield University and Yale comprise
the members of an inter-faith diaglogue. The Catholic view of Christianity will be expressed by
Dick Lawless '64, Dale McNulty '64, Robert Anderson '64, Victor Urbanowitz '64 and Ivan Strenski
'65. The Yale group will be composed of five members of the Episcopalian faith.
Some weeks ago Fr. Don Callenback, Episcopal priest at Trinity Church in Southport, was
invited by the Canisius Academy to speak here on campus. During his speech (What I Believe
as a Christian) Fr. Callenback happened to mention that he was pursuing his doctorate at the
Yale Divinity School and that he has a number of Epi~copalian friends in the undergraduate
classes at Yale. He also told the audience how he and Fr. Richard Rousseau, S.J. have been
carrying on a dialogue between themselves for the past two years.
After listening to the Episcopal priest some of the students attending expressed a desire to
form a dialogue with Fr. Callenback's associates at Yale. With the aid of both Fr. Callenback
ani Fr. Rousseau, S.J., arrangements were made for a meeting to be held Tuesday, Feb. 19th
at Yale but due to weather conditions it had to be postponed. Other meetings are being arrang­ed
and are to be held alternately at Yale and Fairfield.
Dick Lawless in an interview said "the basic idea or reason behind the dialogue movement
is that the disunity in the Christian community ~s undesirable," and that, "one barrier to unity
is the lack of contact. The dialogue movement aims at contact between Christians."
The method to be used in this dialogue is one of "Mutual explanation of the respective
religions." The discussioI;1s will center on topics such as the nature of the Christian Church,
the sacraments and Christian response to twentieth century society. Books such as Robert M.
Brown's An American Dialogue are to be used' as a frame of reference. Fr. Callenback and
Fr. Rousseau will be on hand as advisors to the respective groups.

Contemporary Scene
Of Amer. Philosophy,
Topic Of Yale Prof.
RAFFLE
By WILLIAM 1. BURNS
John E. Smith, the chairman
of the Department of Philosophy
at Yale, lectured on the present
position of philosophy in Amer­ica
and later conducted a semin­ar
on the same topic on Wednes­day,
Feb. 20. The lecture was
sponsored by the Philosophy
Club.
Describing his task as the
illumination of the present situa­tion
with an additional warning
to those who are unaware of its
presence, Professor Smith first
briefly reviewed the 20th cen­tury
developments and then
'commented on modern trends.
.The pragmatism of the early
part of the century was broken
into three important character­istics:
(1) an attack upon the
power of the mind to grasp
ideas intuitively, (2) an em­phasis
upon purpose and will,
rather than merely behaviour­is
tic influences, (3) an emphasis
upon the 'open' universe, that
is 'one which is not complete but
which may be repeatedly devel­oped
as is the American ideal.
The primary question to be
faced by the modern philoso­pher,
Prof. Smith feels, is the
division in man's consciousness
between the fact· which has
overtaken man and the judg­ment
which he must make by
his nature.
In his evaluation of prospects
for the future, Prof. Smith is
optimistic. He has declared that
"we have to build a bridge to
a new theory of the cosmos" to
discover the identity and dis­tinction
which man has with the
cosmos. "Then," stated Prof.
Smith, "we shall be integral hu-man
beings." ,

merely by placing two members
on each side of the seal during
any function in the gymnasium.
Personally, I feel that a per­manent
protection for the seal
itself in the form of some struc­ture
to be determined either by
the students or the administra­tion.
Jim McLaughlin, '64
I think it is a very good idea.
Students should not step on the
seal. The seal represents the
whole school, and if we show
what we think of our school by
walking over it and putting out
cigarettes on it, then we don't
think very highly of our school.
A guard for the seal' should not
be necessary. It should be the
students themselves who show
their respect for the seal.
GLAD RAGS
The hounds of spring are on winter's traces. Soon buds the
crocus, soon trills the giant condor, soon come the new spring
fashions to adorn our lissome limbs: .
And what will the American college student wear this spring?
Ga;ther round, you rascals, and light a Marlboro Cigarette and
enJoy that fine mellow tobacco, that pure white filter and
possess your souls in sweet content, and listen. '
~s eve~one knows, campus fashions have always been casual.
Thls spnng, however, they have gone beyond being merely
casual: they have become makeshift.
The o!>ject is to look madly improvised, gaily spur-of-the­moment!
For example, why don't you girls try wearing a
peasant skirt with a dinner jacket? Or matador pants with a
bridal veil? Or Bermuda shorts with bronze breastplates? Be
rakish! Be impromptu! Be devil-take-the-hindmost!
And, men, you be the same. Try an opera cape with sweat
p!lnts. Or a letter-sweater wit~ kilts. Or a strait jacket with
hip boots. Be bold! Be danng! Be a tourist attraction!'
* * *
F~shions come, fashions go, but year after year Marlboro
Cigarettes, sponsors of this column, bring you the tastiest
tobaccos and a pure white filter'too. Try Marlboro s~on.
~
~~~tt;Ki~b(PI !~t;;Pfa!
But all is not innovation in collegll fashions this spring. In
fact, one of the highlights of the season turns time backward in
it~ flight. I refer, ·of- course, to the comeback of the powdered
wIg.
ThiB charming accoutrement, too long neglected has already
caught on with in undergrads everywhere. On 'hundreds of
campuses the bossa nova is giving way to the minuet, and
patriotIC undergraduates are dumping British tea into the
nearest harbor. This, as you may imagine, does not sit well with
King George III who, according to reliable reports, has been
stamping his foot and uttering curses not fit to reproduce in
this family newspaper. For that matter, a lot of our own people
are steamed up too, and there has even been Bome talk about the
American colonies declaring their independence of England.
But I hardly think it will come to that. I mean how can we
break with the mother country when we are dep~ndent on her
for s~ many things-linsey-woolsey, Minie balls, taper snuffers,
and hke that? She, on the other hand, relies on us for turkeys,
Marlboro CIgarettes, and Route 66. So I say, if Molly Pitcher
and those other Radcliffe hotheads will calm down and if
gentlemen will' cry "Peace! Peace!" we may yet 'find an
amicable ,'lolution to our differences. But let not our British
cousins mistake this willingness to negotiate for weakness. If
fight we IllU~t, then fight we will! Paul Revere is saddled up,
the rude lmdge arches the flood, and the ROTC is armed!
But. I ~igress. We were smoking Marlboro Cigarettes-O,
spl~ndld cIgarette! 0, good golden tobaccos! 0, pristine pure
whlte filter! 0, fresh! 0, tasty! 0, soft pack! 0, flip top box!
0, get some!-we were, I say, smoking Marlboros and talking
about spring fashions. .
Let us turn now to the season's most striking new feature­pne~
matic under~rawe~s.These inflatable garments make every
c~alr an easy chalr. ThInk how welcome they will be when you
Stt t~rough a long lecture! They are not, however, without
certaIn ':langers. Last week, for example, Rimbaud Sigafoos a
sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh, fell out of a 96th
storr window in the Tower of Learning. Thanks to his pneu­~
atJc underdrawers, he suffered no injury when he strock the
. sldewalk, but the poor fellow is still bouncing-his seventh
consecuth'e day-and it is feared that he will starve to death.
DOGWOOD
FESTIVAL
Although the 1963 Dogwood
Festival does not take place un­til
mid May, the members of
the Junior class are now work­ing
on this social event.
The Dogwood Festival evolved
from the Junior Weekend in
1958, previously the. weekend
was open only to juniors. The
advantage of opening the week­end
to the entire student body,
is that it made it economically
feasible to bring more "big
name" entertainment to the
campus.
Since this was no longer ex­clusively
a junior weekend, a
new name was sought for the
weekend. The name Dogwood
Festival is the creation of Mr.
Fred Tartaro.
The Dogwood Festival has
traditionally brought major
entertainment to the campus
and according to weekend chair­man,
Jim White, this year will
be no exception.
While the schedule of events
has varied slightly, the prom is
generally recognized as the key
event of the Festival. Another
event that .has been traditional
is the Saturday afternoon picnic
at Sherwood Island State Park
in Westport.
This year's committee plans
to build and expand on the suc­cesses
of the past and to make
this year's Festival one that
will never be forgotten.

Conservatives Form
Club; Seek Advisor
The Conservative Club held
its first meeting Feb. 18th at
which time they discussed the I ~
subject of a club constitution
which will be presented at the
next meeting Feb. 27th. A fund
drive for the purpose of spon­soring
a speech by a leading
conservative was also brought
up at the meeting.
The immediate duty of the
Conservative Club is to obtain
recognition by school authority.
The dub hopes to accomplish
this by sending a letter to the
Rector listing the principles of
the club and requesting a mod­erator.
QUESTION:
Do you think that the school
seal in the gym lobby should be
guarded from being walked on?
If so, in what fashion?
ANSWER:
John Schuster, '65
The school seal located in the
lobby of the gymnasium is re­garded
by most of us as a some­what
sacred area. Should a
guard of some type be provided
so that it will not be walked
on? Most definitely! Outsiders
are not aware of how sacred it
is - no student would consider
walking on it! Four metal posts

and "mental inertia" sound real learned. "Classroom indolence"
has kind of a nice ring to it, like something Bufferin might relieve.
'~Inferiority complex" sounds psychological, almost exciting. Yes,
the word's too ugly, too large and too bitter to gobble. Sugar-coat
it, color it pink, and make it chewable. Don't give us the bitter
antibiotic, Doctor, we say, but the pleasing placebo.
No, let's not look at that offensive thing splashed across the
wall; and push away the untasty pill. Regard the bulletin board.
There's the Blood Club, buses to the game, intramurals, the orien~
~ation committee, Gala**Weekend**Committee, area club meet­mgs,
the cheerleaders, and some service club meetings-proof
enough of campus activity. Of course, certain malcontents will
persist in ,bugging us, bawling that these functions basically have
nothing to do with the educative purpose of a university. To them
we can only say, regard--the STAG: New Frontiers, a literary
magazine that finds it necessary to run a contest (with prize
money) to stimulate woefully low student contribution' the Manor,
which is, after all, a cne-shot enterprise; a few study clubs of
true merit; a little theatre which, as its first major production
in a year at this, a men's university, will stage a drama having
a. four-man cast, of which two are females; a bloodless Alpha
Slgma Nu Arts Forum, the organization that presented Dame
Judith Anderson to a gymnasium practically devoid of Fairfield
students and which, vampirized by last June's graduation cere­~~
nies, seemingly lies embalmed, awaiting interment; a badly­allmg
Seven Arts Society; and a limping - attendance-wise ­lecture
series.
But, we say, can't you "see the improvement from last year?"
We haven't had anything like Buckley-Kenealy, no Barry Gold­water,
and certain~y not a Dame Judith, it's true. But, really don't
you think "we're ready, as a whole, to advance to greater things?"
Actually all we need is a "little more positive leadership"-we're
dying for any kind of intellectual ball carrier-"and direction"­not
to some beer blast, but to some hard mental jawbreaking­"
together with a constant renewal of efforts on our part," so we
can have our "Rendezvous with Destiny."
Together with truth, freedom, justice, and the American Way.
~Together with cute little mottos for pacifiers.
Together with a stiff belt of Bromo.

Coeval Church, Topic
Of'Fr. Bonn's Lecture
"Welcome to Catholicism" was
the title of a lecture delivered
by Rev. John Louis Bonn, S.J.
on February 12 under the spon­sorship
of the Ignatian Council
of the Knights of Columbus. Fr.
Bonn stressed in his talk the
position of the Catholic Church
in present day America.
With the presidential .cam­paign
of 1960, Fr. Bonn stated,
the problem of integration of
Catholics into the American
culture was brought ,to a head
and, more jmportantly, solved.
The Catholic Church no longer
must explain itself.
The historical fact that the
Church in the United States has
never forced its disciplines on
any other group was stressed by
Fr. Bonn. The only church disci­plines
which have been forced
on Americans are those of otlier
sects.
"Since only the Catholic
Church, however, has always de­manded
the concept of liberty
which is inherent in free will,
we can now for the first time
declare that we are the Catholic
Church and we are welcome:"

On Monday, February 18, the
Psychology C I u b of Fairfield
University undertook' a field trip
to Southbury Training School for
mentally retarded children.
The trip began with an intro­ductiop
on admission procedures
by the Director of Admissions,
followed by a brief question and
answer period. The club was
then conducted on atour through
various classrooms. This provid­ed
an ample opportunity to Qb­serve
the various techniques
employed in dealing with the
children. Each teacher explained
to the club members the mental
abilities of the children and why
is an organization which speaks
on behalf of the students, is a
testimony to the spirit of co­operation
which exists between
the Faculty and the Student
Body. He also believes that
there should be more personal
contact between Faculty and
Students. "Some fail," John g,aid,
"to realize the value of such
contact."
One of John's most valuable
"learning experiences," outside
of the classroom, has been the
Glee Club. The Club's activities
,are not confined only to the
Campus, as are most other
clubs., BecaUlSe of this, the
Club's member,s are exposed to
all types' of people and audi­ences.
John says that in this
organiZiation, one is able to
"learn much about ~human na­ture"
and "put common sense
into practical usage which really
isn't quite as easy as it sounds."

Our general purpose in the writing of these columns will be
to discuss some of the most important "problem areas" in the
social, economic and political complex which is the Latin Ameri­can
grouplng, of nations. It will be of prime importance that the
reader try constantly to see the political implications of a social
or economic situation in order to further appreciate both the
gravity and the complexity of the problems that exist. The Latin
American countries have many things in common such as: a root­ing
in the Spanish culture, the resultant speaking of the Spanish
language in the greater majority of these countries, and economic­ally
a very pronounced trend toward one product economies. The
common cultural ties with Spain, beginning with the discovery
and conquest of the Americas and extending through their sub­sequent
colonization, have left many traits which are especially
visible in the social structure. Spain is a country which has been,
and to a certain extent still is, very aristocratic in its structure
and mode of living.
This Spanish characteristic was, one of the most import~nt
ones brought to the New World societies and one which has been
changed only in a few of the larger countries by the influence of
immigration and industrialization. These changes, as complete as
they have seemed to be in a country such as Argentina, still have
not abolished the Old World agricultural structure of which we
hear so much in our newspapers and th~ studies made 'on agrarian
reform in South America.
In this introductory column 'we have chosen to dwell on a
very important after-effect of this Spanish colonization which is

to this there still exists, in many places, the concept that educa-tion

in society but it can only be given to a certain few. The modern
world exacts more technical education as well as great attention
to the literacy of the many. Illiteracy ranges from ten percent
to more than fifty percent in some of these nations. There is no
question that the present system has supported and is still aiding
the suffocation of the aspirations of the many among the peopleS
of Latin America.
NEXT ISSUE: The Latin American University.
By JOHN J. TtMMEL
If it were possible to describe
in a few words the labors of
John O'Reilly, those words
would be "devotion" ,and "dedi­cation."
Devotion and dedica­tion,
not ohly in ,the scholastic
sense, but in the field of extra­curricular
activities as well.
John hails from Wethersfield,
Conn. He graduated fro m
Wethersfield High School, Class
of '59, and during his years
there he participated in Drama­tics,
Glee Club, Swimming, Base­ball,
and Cross Country Track,
rising to the post of co-captain
in that organization.
John has been one of the most
active supporters of the Univer­sity's
extracurricular program.
He has been a member of the
Glee Club for his entire four
years at Fairfield, and is cur­rently
the Club's President. He
has been one, of the Club's
"Campus Minstrels" for four
years, and is this year its Stu­dent
Director. In addition, he is
a member of the "Bensonians
Quartet." During his Freshman
is the chairman of
phy Department,
,.... "'"""" these changes."
"I am very much encouraged,"
John stated, "by the interest
being shown by the students in
Modern Philosophy. I think this
is a very 'healthy' outlook."
'------------------------------JI John went on by saying that,
"Philosophy means different
things to different people. Since
Scholasticism is not the only
valid philosophy, there should
be more recognition given to
contemporary' s c h a a 1s of
thought."
John is glad that he decided
to come to Fairfield. He feels
that an attitude of mind exists
here which gives the students
a more "grown-up outlook."
"The students realize that this
is a young school, and that they
will be shaping the School's tra'­ditions,"
he said. John also stat­ed
that, "One of the finest tradi­tions
we have is the attitude of
friendshi'P which exists during
Freshman Orientation Week.
There was no hazing, no 'big­wheeling'
on ,the part of the

that nature."

TO THE EDITOR
Sincerely,
Frank D. Marino, Jr.• '63
(Letters Cont'd. on Page 5, CoL 3)
To the Editor:
Your recent features regarding the
philosophy curriculum at Fairfield
University carried with them an invi­tation
to the student body to enter
into discussion regarding the matter.
This is -an acknowledgement of your
R.S.V.P.
After I had read the aforementioned
articles, I must admit that I found
them to have left an impression which
is no doubt at variance with the one
intended by their authors, namely,
they condemned 110t the philosophy
curriculum but rather the student body
of Fairfield University, This student
body was there described as one serv­ing
a four-year sentence at Memory
Prison, almost completely void- of in­dependent
intellectual aggressiveness
and, due to lack of proper facilities at
the Prison, deprived of the opportunity.,.
to uene;}t from the therapy available
at more utopian institutions, namely,
a modern approach to philosophy.
Familiar to most college students
should be the common saying among
high school teachers ,to their departing
seniors: "I won't be around when
you're in college to lead you by the
hand and to force you to do your work.
Your work in college is. going to be your
responsibility - etc." The college class­room
and the college professor, then,
are comparable to a road map; we
have the starting point and the goal
at ~our disposal, but the journey from
one to the other is the student's und.er­taking.
Examinations, required courses,
etc. might be looked upon as toll sta­tions
along this academic excursion,
but the highway is generously furnished
'with rest areas such as lectures, vari­ous
academic societies, and, perhaps
the most beneficial of a~l to the tourist,
the library. '
I do not believe that the staff of the
STAG means to condemn the student
body, yet I cannot heLp but sense that
the suppOsed shortcomings attacked in
the recent issue are imputable more
to the students than to the professors.
Road maps are both dull and excit­ing
- any long journey is a burden,
and quite often monotonous. But, I
would urge the student body to recog­nize
that, as the travelers, they can
make the trip much more enjoyable­by
their own independent and private
efforts.

This is the year, then, of challenge

To the Editor:
In case no one has noticed, Fairfield
University has its very own -Oregon
Trail: in particular, the "beaten" path
between Loyola and Xavier hall di­rectly
across from the Gym. This path
is passable only in summer (when
we're not here). In winter it presents
to the student as much a problem as
did the Frontier to the pioneer.
Since we students have no Conestoga
wagons or canal barges, an improve­ment
in this path would be welcomed

the Varsity basketball team battles
within itself and with its contenders
against the unforseen challenges in
the midst of a highly-toutedseason.
The students' relations with school
authority concerning Mass atten­dance,
class cuts, building mainten­ance
and corridor discipline ha,ve con­tinually
reflected the sufferings from
immaturity, irresponsibility and lacle
of motivation.
These challenges are not indi­genous
to the student populace. The
Faculty, in its intra-and inter-de­partmental
meetings, has and contin­ues
to face the challenges of getting
-more students to realize their abilities
and potential achievement. This an­alysis
overlaps into the problems of
what is 'offered and how it is of­fered.
In this, the students have con-ample
proof that in many cases such
concern was justified.
Some of 'these students remained
at Fairfield for two or three days be·
fo.re they were notified that they
were deficient in credit and would be
forced to leave. Still others found out
in the middle or the end of the- first
week of the second semester that they
had failed 'a course. In the case of
Seniors, they would desire either to
enter another course at Fairfield to
make up the credit or to enroll at
another acceptable university to t!1ke
a required course that is not given
here in second semester. The delay in
determining their mark greatly hin­dered
them in establishing their
courses for the second semester.
It is realized that only so much
can be done, but that does not make
the situation satisfactory. Perhaps the
teachers are lax in reporting grades or
perhaps the clerical help is insuffi­cient
to perform the task. In either _
case a remedy must be sought.
Another example of inefficiency
is the manner prescribed for "seeing
the Dean." The system is often hap-
_hazard. Refering again to the in­surances
between semesters, we find
that the arrangement leaves some­thing
to be desired. There were many
students who were required to see the
Dean either because of low academic
standing or because they desired to
change a course or a major. All these
students patiently waited at the office
for the first week, confering with the
Dean on a first corne first serve basis.
Most of them could ill afford the
time wasted due to the lack of a
coherent system of appointments.

Although much praise is merited
by the Office of the Dean of Studies,
one area the STAG feels needs im­provement
is that concerning ef­ficiency.
At the beginning of this semester
numerous students were seriously
concerned with their academic status.
The number of those not returning is

Excused CutS?
There has been considerable em­phasis
placed upon class attendance
by the administration and, in turn,
the faculty. This past semester we
have observed the effects of a strin­gent
applic<ftion of the cut system
upon the student body. The maxi­mum
number of cuts and the number
of late slips have been clearly and
explicitly established and there can
be no doubt as to the mechanical
observance of, these requirements.
This is all to the good; there can be
no misunderstanding of the various
requirements.
The second facet of this problem
is the assignment of closed retreats to
the student body by the administra­tion.
There can be no doubt as to the
intention of the administration in
this regard. It is an established norm
that the Catholic layman should an­nually
make a spiritual retreat. To
facilitate scheduling of these closed
retreats the administration has as­signed
the available dates to a cross
section of the student body. The two
three day periods that are used are
Friday through Sunday and Sunday
through Tuesday.
The conflict between the second
session of retreat assignments and the
administration policy concerning the
cut system should be obvious. Those
students who are assigned the Sun­day
to Tuesday session of closed -re­treat
are penalized for two days of
absences in their courses. In addition
to the loss of academic continuity,
the possibility of up to two cuts in
a course is an imposition.
That there is privilege in this situ­ation
is assumed. Because of the cir­cumstances
this can be understood.
rThat there is, however, an unneces­sary
and unequal burden placed upon
a segment of the student body cannot
be assumed. It is incomprehensible.
At one time to emphasize the
rigorous adherence to the cut system
and at another, to assign segments of
the student' body to forfeit their cUt
prerogatives is inconsistent and con­tradictory.
T--he fact that the cuts are
excused does not eliminate those cuts
from the record or from the profes-sor's
attendance book. > , •
This scholastic year is a year of
suffering within and challenge to the
University community.
Fairfield University must answer
the challenges thrust upon it from
a technologically-advanced society in
search of ethical norms and from its
own conscience of academic integrity.
This answer necessarily posits suffer­ing
within the student plurality lack­ing
sufficient motivation to employ
their vast capacities. The individual
student within this community is
suddenly being shown where the gate
is, and what is required to stay, much
more frequently and with greater em­phasis
than in the past few semesters.
Student organizations face chal­lenges
also. The Student Council re­vamps

There is a definite problem
existing on this campus which
should be talked about and
brought before the student

is not new. It is well known to
the student body and has often

The problem I am con­cerned

but more so on a Catholic

one can totally blame the indi­vidual

To the Edi,tor:
Is dishonesty becoming as
much a tool of the Fairfield stu­dent
as the pencil with which
he writes? At times it would
seem so, yet I am sure that al-reached
epidemic proportions,
cheating during the semester
exams was a definite factor.
I get angry' when I realize
this because in June I will be
receiving a diploma for which I
worked. Yet, there will be those
also receiving diplomas who
cheated. Therefore, these men
will be given the same honor
and recognition as that given
to myself and others who have
earned our degrees. This is un­just.
If it were only for this reason,
something should be done about
the situation. Of course, when
one adds the immoral aspect of
cheating to the discussion, one
receives a further reason for
making an attempt to put an
end to it.
I have no easy answers to the
problem. Possibly the answer
lies with the proctors, possibly
with the students, possibly with
both. However, I do know that,
if this University, both students
and teachers, has any regard
for the degree it either receives
or gives, some definite serious
thinking must be done concern­ing
means of stopping the
cheaters.

Have you read the reviews

this season. It is the first full
length play by Mr. Albee, who
is now a subject of many ar­ticles
both here and abroad. He
has become a controversial fig­ure,
an enigma; another O'Neill,
the Great White Hope of the
American theater, comparable
with Ionesca and Beckett in

Some question these praises
of the young author. Still, some
regard his new playas a signi­ficant

AF members and friends arrived and dispersed throughout
the crowd and began to unfold their signs. Dour Whitehead, an
Indiana University medical student, was the first to lift his sign.
And now, quoting the source of this article (The New Guard. De­cember-
January, 1963), here is what ens'ued: "A group of men
immediately came into the area and began to throw paper cups
at him, then attempting to get at his sign, they pushed and shoved,
ripped clothing, and knocked off his glasses. Whitehead didn't hit
back, but yelled at a nearby police officer for help. His call was
ignored even though the officer had witnessed the six or eight
men beating Whitehead."
Another student, Eric Johnson of Purdue University, who was
carrying a sign reading, "Less Profile, More Courage" was "slug­ged
in the teeth, hit in the throat, and kicked by the group of
'goons' wearing Birch Byah hats." (He required medical attention
for his cuts and loose teeth.) Whitehead assembled with friends
and retreated to a rear area to wait for the rally to eI).d. A YAF
leader, who was also a registered Democrat and a member of the
AFL-CIO, was grabbed about the neck while he was struck .in
the face and head. Several men sat on another YAF member whIle
one worked on his kidney. The member, a medical student, later
said that the men were evidently well trained in these tactics
because they "sure knew where and how to hit." Others abused
included a five year old girl and a young Democratic mother
carrying a baby.
The group was apparently well organized. All were on a first
name basis. A young man with a walkie-talkie directed them. "He
would report a pre-numbered area where one or two YAFers
were carrying signs, and within the next few minutes six or eight
men would be upon the one or two sign carriers." _
And what were the officers of the law doing while this was
going on? The .officers were indifferent. One of the victims ap­proached
a deputy sheriff and asked, "You saw what happened,
isn't anyone going to do anything?" As the deputy turned his
back and walked away, he answered, "I'm a Democrat."
The incident described in the preceeding paragraphs differs
from the usual political violence in that it was organized and
pre-meditated. In the normal course of events, political violence
is an act done on the spur of .the moment when emotions are
aroused. The facts that: 1) The participants were on a first name
basis, 2) That they were centrally directed, 3) The area had been
previously divided into zones, and 4) That the violence was direct­ed
solely against a particular group (except for some probably.
unintentional molesting of non-demonstrators) tend to indicate
.that the violence was not sponfaneous.
But, perhaps the most appalling fact of all is the callous in­difference
of the depu1y sheriff who was requested to act and
refused with the simple comment, "I'm a Democrat."

A poor 23 point second half
helped by the ejection of Bob
Hutter, contributed in great
part to Georgetown's easy 79-61
triumph. In 'a game that was to
feature a high scoring duel be­tween
Fairfield's Hutter and the
visitors Jim Barry, who already
holds his school's single season
record, the second leading scorer
for each team .took top honors.
Jim Christy's long jump shots
and accurate foul shooting net­ted

The story of the game was
the same as many during the

in the first half and were down

but with Hutter's departure
and the sloppy play, the Hoyas

Fred Weismiller launches jump shot to amazement of Rafferty
and GU's Prendegast.
By CARL LoGALBO
After losing a tough game to
highly rated Boston College, the
Fairfield Frosh continued in
their winning ways as they
rolled over Hunter, Brooklyn
College and Assumption. They
altered the record book during
these tilts, and after threatening
all season, broke the 100-point
mark against Brooklyn College.
On Tuesday night; Feb. 12,
the yearlings traveled to the
Bronx and met Hunter. Fairfield
completely out-classed their op­ponents
as they had fifty points
with time "still left to play in
the first half. The second team
continued to pour it on as the
game ended with the lopsided
score of 92-32. Burke was high
man with 22, while Branch had
19 and Poole 14. Kamler had 18
for Hunter.
Brooklyn was next to succumb
t'O the Frosh offense. The New
York team's tallest man was
6'2". This height disadvantage,
combined with inferior ball
handling and shooting, made
them an easy prey as the young
Stags set a gym record by scor­ing
64 points in the first half.
Coach Saccone put in the second
team to no avail. The score was
not to be held down! With two

course their chief playmaker is
Vinnie Ernst, the 5'8" hustler

and Soph phenomenon Bob Ko­valski

line up.
This being the last game for
seniors; Hutter, Marcarchuk,

be out to successfully terminate
their collegiate careers, and a
tough battle is envisioned.
All but virtual elimination
from the Tri-State League was
the result of a heart breaking
loss to Rider College in a game
held in the Fairfield gym. The
final score of 80-79 gave a well­earned
victory to the J erseyites

On Lincoln's birthday, the
FaiDfield Stags registered their
6th 'victory in the Tri-State
League with a 75-56 verdict over
the Hunter Hawks. The Stags
easily out classed the Bronxites
despite some close play in the
first half. Jan Barnes' very un­orthodox
shooting was the only
factor that kept this game close
and he ended with 26 points.
Bob Hutter and Nick Macar­chuck
as per usual paced Fair­field

In this game played on the

off to a convincing 49-31 lead

closing period. A major reason"
for the sim~ victory can be
seen from the" 58-27 advantage

Nick Macarchuk once again led

best ever assembled here at this school. So if things
should tend to seem worse for next season, then llike­wise
picture the possiibillity of the development of some
of these yealI'lings into sturpy varsity cagers and the
outlook is something rosier. Particula.r mention is due

the arrivHI of this year and no reason to doubt our
league supremacy, something h'appens; OUT 29 game

Condihons 'We cannot say :were the best for tms

the reputation of this sohool and the fortunes of th!is
basketball team have been aided in no small part by
the strong play of Bob Hutter, Nick Maca'rchuk and
Fred WeismHler. Throughout their 3 years of play
each has made the contlI'libution to a game that sam the
tide turned to victory for the Stag quintet time and
again. Just to cite an example of each the play of
Freddy Weismiller W\ill probably be mC?st remembered
for his 19 paint total !in 9 minutes ta.gainst Bridgeport
two years ago. Then we observ~ Bob Hutter in his fun­tastic

baseball and basketball. At Fair­field,
Ronnie has concentrated
on basketball and has done very
well.
In his freshman year he play­ed
on a team dominated by five
touted stars ·and performed well
enough to start several games.
He also impressed Coach Bisacca
who promoted Ron to the Var­sity
in his Sophomore year. A
six foot one inch guard, Ron
saw little action in his sopho­more
year, but as a junior he
was a frequent substitute. Now
a senior, Roq.'s ball handling
ability has proved to be invalu-o
able to the team and Ronnie is

In the world of sports, losing
is not usually considered a vir­tue.
Teams or individuals that
fall victim to their own weak­nesses

In baseball, especially, a los­ing
team is rarely followed by

New York City is the last sports
town that anyone might expect
to support an out-and-out loser.
Yet, miracles of miracles, home­town
baseball fans have taken
the New York Mets to their very

Mets do best.

season, when they lost because
of a wild pitch, to the season's
last encounter, when they lost
due to a Chicago Cub triple
play, the Mets were a throw­back
to baseball's zany, sorely
missed early days.
The Mets will be back this
year, and so far, no pre-season
trade or player acquisition seems
to endanger their reputation as
"The Worst Team in Baseball."
Back too, will be "Marvelous
Marv" Throneberry, the epitome
of what it is to be a Met. Marv,
always trying to make the right
play always seems to fall just
short of his ·goal. He closes his
eyes when a ground ball is hit
to him and doesn't always touch
all the bases when legging out
an extra-base hit, yet, he has a
large following among Met fans
that tends toward fanaticism.
What's more, Throneberry' is
hurt when his fans don't ·boo
him!
As it stands now, New York
loves the Mets (G&D Vermouth
has been forgotten). The ques­tion
is: "How long will the hon­eymoon
last?" If the Mets win
consistently, the fans will be
jubilant. If they lose consistent­ly,
the fans will not love them
less. But what happens when the
novelty of a losing team wears
off? What happens when the
players like Throneberry, who
give the team its color, are
traded away? Then, they will no
longer be the Mets.
This will be unfortunate, be­cause
baseball needs them, and
so, it seems, does New York.

Mayor Robert F. Wagner of
New York has acted in accord­ance
with President Kennedy's
suggestion that the Mayor pro­pose
terms for the settlement of
the ll-week old newspaper
strike, if he is not able to bring
about fruitful mediation be­tween
publishers and striking
printers. The Mayor has asked
the two ,groups to attempt to
settle their difference through
collective bargaining.
However, the Mayor stated
that if a third party were taken
on he would not consider it
arbitration because any recom­mended
settlement m~de by
him would in no way· be bind­ing
to either side.
The publishers have agreed to
President Kennedy's proposal
of "independent determination'"
in an attempt to end the dis­pute.
Printers are in favor of
no form of arbitration as it re­portedly
violates their constitu­tion.
However three non-strik­ing
Unions have urged that the
Mayor assume the role suggest­ed
by the President because of
his already extensive knowledge
of the dispute. The Mayor in­tervened
in the strike one

days of negoti-ations which end­ed
in a deadlock.

In .January the names of the

Weigel lectured at several class­es
last week and is under con­sideration

said, however, that if it allowed
tl'.e priests to speak on a public
platform at the university, it
could appear that the' adminis­trators
and, in effect, the bishops
of the United States (since C.U.

all the bishops of the country)
supported the priests' views.
The Right Rev. Joseph 'Mc­Allister,
the vice-rector of the

President Kennedy called 17

a briefing on the Cuban problem.
At that meeting Senator Dirk­sen
is reported to have told the
president, "I think you should
know we're going to pummel
you about Cuba. We regard this
situation as extremely critical
and we are not going to be
silent."
