program is designed to meet
a predicted undergraduate en­roUment
of 2.000 students by

Day By· Day
Today, foregoing levity, let us turn our keen young minds to
the principal problem facing American colleges today: the
population explosion. Only last week four people exploded in
Cleveland, Ohio-one of them while carrying a plate of soup.
In case you're thinking such a thing couldn't happen anywhere
but in Cleveland, let me tell you about two other cases last
week-a 45-year-old man in Provo, Utah, and a 19-year-old
girl in Northfield, Minnesota. And, in addition, there was a
near miss in High Point, North. Carolina-an eight-year-old
boywho was saved only by the quick thinking of his cat, Fred,who
pushed the phone off the hook with his muzzle and dialed the
department of weights and measures.. (It would, perhaps, have
been more logical for Fred to dial the fire department, but one
can hardly expect a cat to summon a fire engine which is fol­lowed
by a Dalmatian, can one?)
But I di~ess. The population explosion, I say, is upon us.
It is, of course, cause for concern but not for alarm, because I
feel sure that science will ultimately find an answer. Mter all,

Bowl Team from Fairfield is
an intellectual vanguard which
has brought to the school an
unprecedented recognition in
the national eye. The indi­viduals,
notIceably more hesi­tant
to answer questions than
on television, possess charac­teristics
which add up to not
a crack bowl team alone. They
are also men who are repre­sentative
of the school.
John Kappenberg '64, captain
of the team, has a dream this \
yeal in common with George
C;t"eller '64, another member
.of the team. Both want to see
the German opera "Goetter­doemmerung"
produced at the
Metropolitan Opera House in
New York City.

dIverse interests in the musical
field. He plays and sings with
the Pine Hill Singers, a Fair­field

has not scienee in recent years brought us such marvels as the
maser, the "bevatron, and. the Marlboro filter? Oh, what a saga
of science was the discovery of the Marlboro filter! Oh, what a
heart-rending epic of 'trial and error, of dedication and perse­verance!
And, in the end, what a triumph it was when the·
Marlboro research team, after years of testing and discarding
one filter material after another-iron, nickel, tin, antimony,
obsidian, poundcake-finally emerged, tired but happy, from
their laboratory, carrying in their hands the perfect fiJ,ter
cigarette! Indeed, what rejoicing. there still is whenever we
light up a Marlboro which comes to us in soft pack and Flip-
. ,Top Box in all fifty states and Cleveland!
Yes, science win ultimately solve the problems arising from
the population explosion, but meanwhile America's colleges
are in dire straits. Where can we find classrooms and teachers
for today's gigantic influx of students?
Well sir, some say the solution is to adopt the trimester sys- ­tern.
This system, already in use at many colleges, eliminates
summer vacations, has three semesters per annum instead of
two, and compresses a four-year-course into three years.
This is, of course, good, but is it good enough? Even under
the trimester system the student has occasional days off. More­over,
his nights 1tre utterly wasted in sleeping. Is this the kind
of all-out attack that is indicated? .
I say no. I say desperate situations call for desperate reme~
dies. I say that partial measures will not solve this crisis. I,
say. we must do rio less than go to school every single day of
the year. But that iS'not all. I say we must go to school 24
hours of every day! _
The benefits of such a program are, as you can see, obvious.
First of all,' the classroom shortage will disappear because all
'the donnitories can be converted into classrooms. Second, the
teacher shortage win disappear because all the night watchmen
can be put to work teaching solid state physics and Restoration

Fairfield Man Arrives
In France For Study
Michael Mohrman, a Fair­field

where he is a student this year
at the Institute for American
Universities, a un i v e r,s it y­abroad
program now operating
there for its sixth year under
the auspices of the University
of Aix-Marse11les.
Mohrman is one of some 125
students who have come from all
parts of the United States and
from about 65 different colleges
and universities to participate
in the program this year. Like
others in the group, he expects
to 0 b t a ina normal year's
credits at Aix for transfer back
to Fairfield toward his degree
here. In this way, the Insti­bite
offers to American students
all over the country new possi­bilities
for intensive under­graduate
European studies•.
Located at the seat of the
University of Aix-Marseilles,
the second largest Fre~chstate
university, and housed in build­ings
which recall the ancient
traditions of. that school, the
Institute benefits from many of
the University's facilities, yet
offers an American program
suited even to those who have
no s p e cia 1 background in
French. In addition to a com­plete
program in French ian­guage

Editorial Commentary'
Theology D ept.Program R -evision
'Fhe Theology Department has
initiated a program revision which
puts the study of Theology on an
equal basis with other courses and
which, it is hoped, will provide the
opportunity for electives in Theol­ogy.
No more will the Theology of­fered
at Fairfield be tainted by· the
idea that it IS obligatory.
The Class of '67 will experie'nce
the new program in full operation.
Due 60 the revision which changed
the previous two credit course to a
three credit course, the Freshmen will
have completed their Theology re­querements
In four semesters. Present
Sophomores and Juniors will also be
affected by the change but a final pro­gram
has not been formulated.
The revision is supported by a
number of reasons:
1) Many manpower.problems will
be solved. The present staff will be
able to present a program of free
electives in Theology. This was im­possible
under the old system.
2) The overall curriculum will be
freed from the quantitative demands
of an eight semester required program.
This affords the opportunity for
Juniors and Seniors to devote more
time to their major field.
3) The student would be free to
pursue subjects necessary for his grad­uate
work giving him an advantage
over those who now graduate with
considerably fewer credits than stu­den
ts from other schools.
4) The new electives could serve
as a liberal arts supplement for those
students who desire them; they could
serve as a means of bringing a Cath-olicizing
influence into other areas by
inter-disciplinary courses such as
"Church and State," "Medical Eth­ics."
etc.; and finally, they might
even tuall y offer the opportunity ro
major in Theology.
The Theology revision is an edu­cational
milestone at Fairfield. In the
present trend toward "up-dating"
Catholic institutions, this major step
in educational leadership is an imppr­tant
advance for the University in the
realm of higher learning.
Free~ Male, and 21- LETTERS TO, THE EDITOR
Wesleyan Univers~ty:
'-'Bold and Unique"
The following was published as
an editorial in the SIENA NEWS,
the student newspaper of Siena Col­lege.
Date: September 27, 1963.
Free, male, and 21. It reminds one
of a not-so-long-ago movie. But
we're not here to teach drama criti­cism
or memory improvement. This
is a statement for a group which does
riot fall into the title category-a
group which is shackled, which does
concern only males, and which con­tains
all those between the ages of
18 and 21.
Free? To do what? Two of the
fifty states allow this group to pur­chase
alcoholic beverages. All allow
them to drive automobiles. None al­low
them to vote, on the local, state
or federal level. Males have not yet
reached maturity and must have par­ental
consent in economic matters.
Yet all fifty states agree that these
immature youngsters should fight,
and perhaps even die, to preserve the
democratic system.
It is strange, indeed, that the same
youth who cannot drink and cannot
vote because of his immaturity, is
found to be mature enough to face
the enemy's guns and offer his life to
preserve an abstract concept. His ma­turity
is never questioned when he
asks to enlist in the service. It is never·
questioned when Uncle Sam decides
"I wan t you." And please do not re­peat
the old cliche that the service
makes men, because it does not. Men
make the service, and the service exists
because of men.
Political parties do not question
t~e maturity of this group when they
want support at election time. They
make a feeble pretension of looking
ahead when it comes to counting bal­lots;
at the same time, they look to
the young for immediate gains in
campaign work and in urging paren­tal
support., Contributions are always
gratefully accepted from the "far­seeing
hope' of the future," but the
"apathetic youth" of today are con­stantly
under attack when election
time has passed.
We do not believe that 18-year­olds
are as immature as our elders
,would have us believe. The constant
threat of a nuclear war is forcing
American teenagers to mature faster
and prepare for any eventuality. High C
schools are teaching better courses in
history and current affairs. When the
average high .school student is ready
to graduate, he knows more about
the past and the present state of affairs
in America than his parents did at
the same age.
It is our belief that if a young man
is old enough and mature enough to
be expected to offer his life in defense
of his country, he should be allo-wed
to have some say in the matter of
who will govern him. And he should
be allowed to enjoy the samerelaxa­tions
as his elders.
Rates Questioned
To the Editor:
We are all aware that college stUdents,
for the most part, are financially operat­ing
on a limited basis. The necessities of
life, clean clothes numbering among them,
can add up to a handsome sum in a year's
time.
In the October 24, 1962 issue, page three,
your I' e port e I' "interviewed" the on­campus
laundry appliances and discussed
several items, one being the priee requir­ed
to operate the machines. Although some
town laundromats are five cents less ex­pensive
than our campus laundromat, your
article stated " •••within the next month
, or so the prices there will also be twenty­five
cents." Of course I am not blaming
the STAG for any launciry rates in any
given place; however, I am questioning the
added expense on campus. For what reason
must we, the students, pay extra (as com­pared
to some town rates) in order to ob­tain
the same service offered in Fairfield
for less?
Sincerely yours,
Robert J. Morrissey '66
Thanks To Juniors
To the Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to
offer my sincerest thanks and congratUla­tions
to those members of the Class of
1965 wh() took part in Freshman Orienta­tion
Week, The outstanding job done by the
Orientation Committee is certainly indica­tiv~
of the spirit of cooperation which has
developed in the ,Junior Class,
.A great quantity of that talent called
leadership is available in this class, Just
waiting to be tapped. For this reason, I
am confident that great things will be
accomplished by the Class of 1965. Just
wait ,and see. • .
Thanks again, Juniors.
Sincerely,

Middletown, Conn. -(1. P.) ~ Wesleyan
University is about to take a "bold and
unique" step forward. As outlined in the
Administration's recently released Inter­im
Report on Long-range Plans, proposals
center around a "move in the direction of
advanced study,' ~ a continuance of the trend
towards "inter-disciplinary" organiza­tions
within the University, and general
growth.
The presently existing subject depart­ments
WOUld, under the report, lose em­phasis
in favor of "clusters" of relatek
subjects, resulting in greater latitude
and" cultural breadth" within the specific
areas, while also giving the clusters
greater autonomy within themselves."
In addition to the clusters, a number of
"programs" are also enVisaged in the
report. These would include the present
college plans, as well as, for example,
progr:ams in Latin American studies, Law
and Society, Atomic Physics, and a Modern
Language Center.
The program for advanced learning, the
report stipulates, should be one' 'that will
strengthen the values and functioning of a
liberal arts coll~ge." This m,?ans, the re­port
explains, that Wesleyan would culti­vate
one or two areas of study by taking
on a few experts in the field, though
ctmural breadth is also stressed through­out
the proposals, and building up an area
of advanced study.

dateline:
FLORENCE, IIALY
by Jay LaCroix
Though I have served the STAG in various capacities
since.my freshman year, it is with hesitation that I enter
the sacreo' reserve of the columnist, How am I to compete
with the peals of 'Hans, The Big Onion,.' the philosophical
wanderings of an Aspeetor or the shocking revelations of
a Reflector? The answer is simple. I shall not compete.
This column shall attempt to avoid comment on campus
and domestic politics. (N.B. members ofthe Key, Philosophy
department and the Communist cell on four floor Campion).
I will attempt to relate experiences occuring during my
junior year in Europe which I think w1ll interest you at
Fairfield,
Some seventy students are taking part in this program
at the University of Florence. The program, under the
direction of Rev. Neil McCluskey, S. J. (the author of
"Catholic Viewpoint On Education"), is an ext ens ion -of!
Gonzaga University in Spokane, wasn.
The group flew to New York, where I met them, and sailed
for Europe aboard a student ship of the Holland American
Line, the Watterman. Since the passengers were one third
American and two thirds returning Europeans, the ten day
trip proved to be an excellent orientation for our 'European
Adve.njure'. The Council on Student Travel, which organized
the sailing, provided ample opportunity for the exchange
of ideas through lectures and_ round table discussions.
The Ugly American Made Uglier
The European students aboard ship seemed to seize
every opportunity to tell the American students exactly
what they thought about every American problem from seg­regation
to Goldwater and to offer as much' constructive
criticism' as was possibk!. The American students seemed
to be well schooled in the theory that it is bad for our image
to argue for they showed little taste for that sport. The
Americans often found themselves the butt of jokes which
held little humor for,them.
One of the German students I met aboard ship said that
the impression she had had of Americans, before vis1t1ng
the States, was that they were boisterous fat men in shorts'
who drank too much and over paid; 01:' they were quiet
and polite people who took pains not to criticise the r.>licies
of other countries. '
I found the French students an interesting group. They
were returning to their country after several months in
the States and were anxious to speak English since the trip
would be their last opportunity to do so. Instead of explain­ing
this to American students who started conversations in
French, many would say, "Let's speak English, your
French is awful,' or "your ~ccent is poor." These points
were no doubt true, but none the less annoying.
One evening we told the French students that we would
prefer to have them speak French because their accent in
English was too poQr and they were ruining our mother
tongue. They were shocked beyond 'belief, but their attitude
showed a marked change and from then on they sought us
out to help us with our French.
We left the ship with one lesson learned well: being
polite does not mean being submissive.

Robert Frost Revisited
Footnotes are regrettable, and few people ever want to read
them; but sometimes they are necessary. Pardon me while I
make a footnote.
The story that was related in this column last issue was not
for anyone but the "student" on this campus. Robert Frost
spoke at Yale last year to a large group of people the majority'
of whom were "students". Indirectly he gave those present an
insight into the nature of a college student, and it was this that
I had lloped would come across. It did not, and I apologize for my
part in that failUre.
Now, as I said, this insight was not a directed intention or effort
on the part of the Poet. He seemed at the time to be more than
usually pleased with his audience. It was the enjoyment of past
experience in the classroom plus the young college listeners that
brought 'the insight to the surface. He said it, I am sure, because
it was so much a part of him - the very idea of what these people
were who sat so interestedly before him'; and it pleased him. He
said as much in admitting that he wished he were back in the
classroom to witness the stUdent. And now we come to the point
I was making. Robert Frost did not mean that he enjoyed sitting
in a classroom to watch a group of people writing on paper.'
"They must have it out with themselves, you know," he said
and that is what a student is. He is a person who has it out with
himself because he is a man preoccupied and obsessed-preoc­c\
lpied by the ideas he meets and obsessed by a desire to know.
A student is not just one who attends classes in a 'given school.
He does not merely sit in the classroom or walk around the cam­pus
to look nice and enhal1'Ce the beauty of grounds or buildings.
In other words a student is not activity alone, nor is he the mere
dweller in an established and well equipped institution. He does
more than take his body to class, force it to write notes, push
these notes into his head, throw them up on a test paper and ~e­ceive
a grade.
Robert Frost had been used to the student who "had it out with
himself", and this is the insight he gave us quite unaware that any
of us there were not'really students in his sense of the word. He
was. a man who made words his life, and I am certain he knew
what he was saying; but '[ was not quite convinced that so many
would fit such a description. He had been accustomed to a stu­dent
of action as opposed to one of actlvity. This student of-action
is involved in the type of activity that F'rost called "having it out
with himself". His struggle is not to gulp the matter down and
get it back up again for an examination, but it is a mental struggle
to find out and know the truth. As I said, he is preoccupied and
obsessed, and he w11l use every means available to satisfy ~he
preoccupation and obsession-every thing that the college affords
froni courses to extra-curricular activities.
My final point was that' Fairfield University possesses the­proper
satisfactions for the mind of the real student - the stu­dent
that Robert Fro..st knew - the student that we all should know
as ourselves. But, you know, for'some reason I could not say
,Fairfield University is a college. It has classrooms and there
:are people in them - young ~ople. These people dress like
;college students AND THEY ARE HAVING IT OUT WITH THEM­SELVESl
I think ·Robert frost did a much better job in conveying what
I tried to say last issue and again repeat in this footnote, and I
wish that his words alone would have been necessary.; but let me
add another quotation from that noted scholar and educator, T.
George Anonymous: "Knowledge makes a bloody entrance."

North Vietnam's struggle a­gainst
communism has bee n
drawn partially aking religious
lines. Educated catholics in the
s e r vic e of the s tat e have
charged that the country's one
m1llion Buddhists are being ex­ploited
by Communists, and that
press organizations have beer
duped by the "campaign 01
intoxication." Confuscianism i~
the, major religious 'sect of thl
country.
The controversial world fig­ure
began her tour last month.
During the course of her travels
in America Mme. Nhu has al­leged
that the United states
government is using a soft line
approach to the Russian com­munists,
and that the U.S. is
opposed to the activities of
Vietnam's government because
it is rigidly anti-communist.
"1 wish to remind you that we.
cannot support Liberalism, in
a country where the struggle
against dictatorship is so ever,~
present."
The' panel examined Mme.
Nhu's itinerary in the United
States. John Sharkey, 'NB'C
newsman who was beaten in
the streets of Vietnam, ·was a
member 'of the panel. Mme.
Nhu was asked if she pianned
to see President Kennedy' in
Washington. She replied, "I
have made no" request. I do
not want to bother anyone while
I am in America. I want to
improve the status of my coun­try
in the United States. I have
become. in spite of myself, a
, controversial person."

With Southern Ne~ England Telephone in New Haven,
Stanton Peel (B.S., 1962) handles important engineering
assignments for the Current Plans Office.
His projects have been as short as a matter of minutes,
as long as several weeks. They have ranged from studies
such as he made on the telephone facilities layout around
Saybrook and Middlesex Junction, Connecticut, to the very
comprehensive package he put together on Weather An·

are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed
or rewarded than in the fast.growing telephone business.

Actually, the film's first half
isn t bad, with Rex Harrison
delivering an urban~, powerful
Caesar. But his assissination,
justrbefore intermission, marks
the film's histrionic death, ex­cept
for the dramatic morsels
Burton manages to extract from
director Mankiewicz' pathetic
conception of Antony. Those
tidbits are, at times, juicy
enough to· almost be enough_
Yet what emerges is not the
sympathetic portrayal of a
once-great leader, but the story
of a grand son Who couldn't
say no to his bottle or his
babe. Miss Taylor'S dramatic
range extends from anger to
fury, all other attempts making
the viewer terribly uncomfort­able.
Her voice has' the ring
of a rusty hinge, her face the
mobility of a death maSk, \Uld
her humor is nonexistent.
Mankiewicz was fired before
he could edit the film, and
probably because he was unable
to shap~ it in the cutting room,
it lacks a unifying point-of­view.
Even more absent is a
real sense of splendor: the
great sea-battle looks so phony,
the sets' so sham, the per­sonages
so unheroically human,
that one cannot escape feeling
a cinematic claustrophobia, and
wonder· what several indepen­dents
could have produced with

Rugby is a rough, give and
take sport. So is life. This is
the theme of the current British
" slice of life" film, "This
Sporting Life". Done in the
tradition of"ATaste of Honey" ,
"The Loneliness of ,the Long­Distance
Runner", and "The
L-Shaped Room" ,"ThiS Sport­ing
Life" presents us with a new
to the screen aspect of English
society, the Rugby player.
The story c e n t e r s "round
Frank Machin, a shifless young
man played by Richard Harris•
When he and a group of his
friends are rejected admission
to a bar reserved for the' 'upper
crust" which includes the City·
Rugby team, he decides to try
his hand at the game. He carries
to the field the aggressiveness
and self:-reliance with which he
goes through life, A good player,
_he ,meets immediate success.
His private life is parallelled
with his professi'onallife.
Machin rooms in an apartment
owned by Margaret Hammond,
a widow played by Rachel Ro­berts.
Realizing that he loves
and needs her, Machi.n tries to
gain her affections in"a strong
but clumsy way, more suited to
a scrum than to a love affair',
Margaret is lost in the memory
of her dead husband wh,?, it
turns out, committed sUic.ide.
She wants Machin physically,
but finally she rejects him as
an animal. They argue forceably
and Frank leaves. Soon after,
Margaret dies of a brain hemor­rhage
for which Machin can't
help feeling responsible. The
, final .scene again shifts to the
Rugby field, and here the mean­ing
of the picture is revealed.
The photography of "This
Sporting Life" is good and the
numerous shots of Rugby plays
add a touch of actual excitement.
Richard Ha r r i s, the British
Paul Newman both in looks and
manni:!risms, gives a powerful
performance for which he was
named Best Actor by the Inter­national
Film Critics Associa­tion
at the 1963 Cannes Film
Festival. Rachel Rob e r t s is
stirringly memorable in her
portrayal of the widow torn be­tween
past and present. Fine
also is William Hartnell who
plays "Dad" Johnson, a kindly
old man who has Frank',s best
interests at heart, Lin d say
Anderson has done a commend­able
Job of direction in this his

picture, but one can hardly

CAMPU'S BEAT
by Ellen Jacobsen
THE PROPOSED SCIENCE BUILDING
Most collegemen have probably managed a little profitable
employment over the summer. Not enough to interfere with
social life, but just enough to give a little cushion against the
lean months ahead, Some of this money is being saved, but a lot
is ,being spent right now for the clothes that will cover all the
different situations likely to crop-up during the school year,
There are interesting styles around this season. Although many
schools have cert;lin fads and. fashions all of their own, the
.authentic, classic, natural shoulder look will dominate.
The typical college man's wardrobe will usually be based·on a
3 -_1,- I breakdown. In other words, three parts casual - for
classroom or campus, one part dressy - for dates, chapel Dr
. other dress-up, occasions, and one part dual-purpose - can be
dressed-up for dressy occasions and dressed-down for more
casual, relaxed events.
The most popular fall suits are cut in the classic three-button
'style with straight pocket flaps, breast-pockets, belt-loop
trousers, and (very important) many Qf these new suits will have
matching vests. Sport jackets and blazers will be cut along very
similar lines with a few minor variations.
Check that your wardrobe includes two suits in dark 'shades
such as navy blue, deep olive or grey, or perhaps a dark herring­bone.
You'll be' able to use this suit jacket as an extra sport
coat.
Slacks though slim and trim are cut fuller than. the tight "pipe­stem"
varieties. AIso, slacks this season will carry belt-lOOps
and will be wOrn long enough to clear the shoe toP. or to show no:

more than an inch of sock. You'll need six to eight pairs
including worsted flannels as well as chinos,' poplins and
cords.
. Man'y men feel that ,shirt styles set the fashion theme. Two
collar models are really "big" this fall. Your'wardrobe should'
have both the classic long-pointed Button-Down and nifty Snap­Tab.
Be sure you have a good supply of shirts. According to a
national survey conducted by Van Heusen, the average, college
man owns ten dress shirts and ten sport shirts.
Striped shirts are making a big return on 'campus: In fact no
college man's closet is complete without at least one bold 'red.
and white striped oxford cloth shirt. The Van Heusen "417 V­Taper
Collection" is so complete that they even have bold white
stripes on a red ground!
A big'style in sweaters is the crew neck .shetland in softly
shaded blends of blue, grey or olive. Check your local campus
trend for other styles which might incllJde high buttoned cardi­gans
and interesting pattern effects.
Big news in campus ties are repp stripes that are both wider
and brighter than la'st year's. It's interesting to note that as
collar styles go longer, ties become wider, and vice versa.
In short, it looks like a pretty good fall, in terms of men's
fashions. And we have it on one rather good authority that girls
vrill, J;>~ ;qo]<ing. ti!5~ girls again this year - - no more shifts!
The leaders of Chilean poli
tical parties want to be assured
that national problems are dis-­cussed
by conscientious and ca-
: pable students, The deve­lopment
of programs and ideals
based on hours of serious de­bate
and appraisal of a situ­ation's
political economic and
social importance in the country
is laboratory practice for the
student of law or government,
Therefore, the efforts of student
organizations, 'on the whole, are
directed in the' interests poli- .
tical ideas, In the hands of the
Chilean university student, the
political organization is a con­structive
tool,
For example, the Federation
of Students in the Catholic Uni-,
versity is developing an intel­ligent
progr.am for the assistan­ce
of one poverty-striken area
of Santiago, Already too many
students have volunteered to
help and many campigns have
been commenced in order to
raise money for these people
who have been forced to take
residence in a vacant theater
withQti! food, water, or beara­ble
sanitary conditions, The as­sault
has begun and success
is imminent because the Latin
student has a great interest in
his community' and thE;! nation,
Chilean Letter
From Wolf
Gerald Wolf is one of the two
Untversity students selected for
-an ei-ght month study program
In Chile!-
. • The . f~llowing is a
letter forwarded by 'Wolf to The '
stag,
-'-On the university level there
is a great difference between
Chilean and American student
organizations. I contrast to the
political groups in, the United
states, Chilean student organi­zations
are the center of uni­versity
life, And the success of
.student organizations here lies
in the willingness, the respon­sibility,
and the spirit of young
men and women who aspire· to
contribute to the development
of equality and democracy for
every person in their country.
For instance, if the American
racial prnh1<>m existed in Chile.
student leaders would feve­rishly
participate in dese­gregation
sitins and attempt
to make racial equalitypossible
through the manipulation of the
power of the student's poHti-.
cal voice. The only American'
college students who have ac­tively
made their participation
nationally important in the
United states were southern
'students who threw rocks at
Negroes who entered their in­stitutions.,
In Chilean universities those
students who wish to prepare
themselves for future political
careers must make themselves
perceptive and efficient lea­ders.
, This is their job. They
have taken courses in law and
poJitical science and the active
participation in a political or­ganization
is homework. Thus
a bright future is based on ~
. student's ability to contribute
to the development of his po­litical

Shine, Perishing RepUblic .
As an officer of one of the political clubs on this campus, I'm
scared. -
I hear Khruschev's theories of a mechanistic history, sweeping
along a Communist,tide that will bury us, and 1 don't believe it.
I read a rather badly-written, sensationalized novel called "It
Can't Happen, Here, and I don't believe it. But I look in the face
of the fellow sitting across from me at the lunch table•... and
I iook again•.• and again, and I wonder. I wonder. . ,
,The other night I had a discussion with one of our club mem­b~
rs, an intelligent student with definite liberal opinions. The
question was one of freedom of speech. He admitted that theoret­ically
eveuone should ha"e the right to speak and pUblish in our
society, no matter what he believes. But when it came to the
practical question of letting the Communists speak, he said no.
The Communists, you see, are too tricky for us, and to(} dedicat­ed.
They go out on street corners and keep hammer-ing away
their points; they infiltrate our organizations, confusing the minds
of the poor average simple people.
. f asked if this were not an admission of our failure. Where':'
ever the Communists are banned, they have won and freedom has
lost. If we cannot go out and teach the basics of democracy to
the people, and be confident that they will choose ours over
another system, we are liVing a lie. But the simple solution is
to h~ve the people live in their ignorant, traditional democracy,
and ban all those who speak against it. ThUS, if the advocates of
a free society do nothing, and allow followers of another persua­sion
to 'sway the people, our system will lose. And if the advo­cates
of a free society do nothing, but ban the people who oppose
them, they have already lost. •
What has this got to do with you, a student at Fairfield? The
solution to the dilemma abovEi is obviously that the advocates of
democracy must do something. You are, I assume, :;in advQcate
of democ,racy. You are, I know, doing nothing.
Nothipg to convince the people...the people•..the people­hold
on. What is this "people"? What right have I t(} separate
myself from the ignorant people? Am I not the people? What am
I doing? What AM I doing?
I repeat, sometimes I'm scared. ~fter all the preaching of
priests and politicians, of statesmen and historians, all the elo­quent
speeches and 'trite cliches, you still think politics is a
dirty game. Yes politics. I'm talking politics, because politics,
you see, is the people. Politics is the art of the possible, and the
art of the Possible is what makes our democracy work. But oh
yes,' .it's a dirty game. It's benea;th me. Even though Washington
and Lincoln and Wilson were in it, it's still a qirty little game
Even though I can't go fishing, or take a drink of water, or breath
fresh air, or eat a meal without a political decision affecting me,
it's none of my affair. Politics, you see, involves dirty work. It
involves ringing doorbells and talking to people. It involves read­ing
things and hearing things to ul1derstand why I hold the position
I do. It involves thinking, and it involves acting. I might get my
hands dirty.
We're not trying to make big-time operators in our political
clubs here at Fairfield. All we're trying to do is find out a little
bit more about our g,over!lment, and do a little work to show our
interest in communityand national affairs. Yet we ask for volun­teers,
and get none. We have a speaker give up his time to come
here, and ten college men come to hear him. Ten. Out of over
1200. This is the collegiate group, the leaders of tomorrow~
Government? I learn all about that in the classroom'.
I see freshmen w~o give a rather shy'smile, and pass by. I see
Sophomores who shrug their shoulders and say "That's not for
me." I see Jilniors who say, "I'd like to, but not now." I see
Seniors who walk by for the last time with their eyes closed,
almost beyond hope. ' .
I look at the fellow across from me, and I wonder. What is he
thinking? Am I doing enough? As he reads thig, what is he think­ing?
The people take care of themselves. Or someone takes care
of the people••.the people•. .the people.
I'm sorry if the PATCH is too preachy today. It's just that
'sometimes I get worried, and I 10se'IfIY writing style. Sometimes
I think of people in a distant nation many years ago who thought
politics was a dirty game, and who got a man named Hitler ,in
return. '

factors will decide their suc­cess
in acceptance to graduate
school.
The first is their past aca­demic
record. "There is little
a senior can db to improve his
academic record of the first
three years" he stated." There­fore,
you either have it, or you
don't."
The second, in Fr. Varnerin's
opinion, is the mo~t important
,thing a student can do for him­self.
"I have prepared some
instructions which the student
will find helpful. These sug­gestions
are not my own," he
stated. "I have discussed them
with the Graduate Scholarship
Committee and many others.
The third are, the letters of
'recommendation., Theyare very
important and will determine
the success of the' applicant.
The committee members are
made up of teachers of the dif- '
fer e n t departments in the
, school. They are:
Dr. Abbott: History
Dr. Grassi: Philosophy and
Classics
Dr. Mcinerney: English
Dr. McDonald: Languages and

Fr. McPeake: Education and

REFl-ECTIONS
Supporters of the Civil Rights Bill of 1963 (S. 1731) find it
very difficult, if not impossible, to comprehend the fact that
opposition to this bill exists among non-racist, non-Southern,
informed commentators. It is the, purpose of this article to
demonstrate reasonable grounds on which opposition to this
bill may be based. The bill's opponents contend that, as a law,
the bill is sev,erely deficient in several respects. In order to
demonstrate' this I have chosen Title Two (Public Accom­modations)
and Title Three (Desegregation of Public Education)
as examples.
Title Two - Public Accommodations
In the original draft of, Title TWO, before it was amended b~
the Commerce Committee in a vote on October eigllth, the title
opened with a long recital of findings, designed to justify the
use of the Fourteenth Amendment as the basis for the re­strictions
outlined in the title. congress allegedly. finds in
these paragraphs that practices of audience discrimination in
the entertainment industry create "serious and substantial"
FAIRFIElD LAUNDROMAT
POST ..ROAD, FAIRFI£U)
,practices of discrimination when considered as a whole "Take
on the character of action by the SUites and therefore fall
within the ambit of the equal pr.otection clause of the 14th
Am'endment to the Constitution of the United States." The
object of this terminology is immediately 'evident. The 14th
Amendment does not prohibit private acts of dtscrimination.
The SUpreme Court has said so in a series of,decisions starting
with the United States v.' Murray Stanley (109 U.S. 3) decided
in 1883 in which the SUpreme Court struck down the Civil.
Rights Act of 1875 (18 Stat. at L., 335), an act which required
the desegregation of private establishments serving the public.
'This decision has been affirmed in 1959 in Williams v. Howard
John!,on Restaurants, 268 F.2d 845 and more recently by the
United States Supreme Court in 1961' in the case of Burton
v. Wilmington parking Authority, 365 U.S. 715. These cases
are ,the controlling law of the case and are just as much the
"law of the land" as the decision in Brown et al v. Board of
Education of Topeka Kansas. If one is to accept as the bill
proposes th.at indiVidual, acts "take on the character of State
acts," then the ancient distinctions between private property
and public agencies will be lost forever. And, under the pre­cedent
here proposed, private property in this ,regard will have
ceased to exist Furthermore, under the dual basis proposed
for this act, the actions occupy two places at once. They are
in one statement acts of private discrimination which affect
interstate commerce, and in another stat~ment, theX lake on
th~ character of actions by the state and' ,ar,e denials of equal
protection.
~ The power of Congress to regualte commerce derives from
Article of Section 8 of the Constitution which 'gives Congress
the povier to "regulate commerce among the several states."
But the object of the bill, as stated by its authors is not to
regulate commerce, but to "prohibit discrimination." Further­more
Congress has added another area to its regulation of
commerce. It has added a requirement to serve which hereto­fore
was only imposed upon pUblic service corporations with
state-guaranteed monopolies. The owner's right to freedom of
choice is severely restricted. I do not propose to defend racial
discrimination, but I do defend the right, the legal right, of the
'owner of an establishment to freely choose his customers.
If one can be forced by law to sell, Why can there not be, with
equal justification, a compulson to buy? If the admission of
'one customer drives away 10 others, then does this not impose
more of an intolerable, burden upon interstate commerce as
did the denial to one?
The method of enforcement leaves something to be desired.
The' bill, even as modified by the, Commerce Committee;
retains the right to jall parties for civil contempt without the
,benefit of a jury trial. Thus a party may be tried, convicted
and jalled by the same judge, with no other party entering into
the decision. '
Title Three - Desegregation of Public Education
This section proposes to eliminate 'discriminationby use of
grants and new powers for the U.S. Commissioner of Education
and the Attorney, ,General. The authority for this assistance
supposedly rests 'on the Fourteenth Amendment and in the in­tent
of the legIslatures that adopted it to abolish racially
separate public schools. 'Ihe history of pUblic education in the
UnitE!d siit,es' in)he yea[§.J.o i 1ci win g''- the I' a t if i c a ti 0 n of
the 14th Amendment do not support this contention. In one state,
,for example, the legislature adopted the, 14th Amendmen,t and
in the same session provided for racially separate public
schools. To this date there is no law of the United States which
requires desegregation. The propose'd programs for the Com­missioner
of Education are cart be{ore horse. There, are the
sort of programs that would implement. a law, if there were a
law; but there is no law. The Supreme Court's opinion of 1954
in Brown v. Boa,.rd of Education, impressive as it may be, is
still no more than a "judgement binding named defendants in
partiCUlar lawsuits. ,
According to this title, the Attorney General would be em­lOwered
on the complaint that· some local school board! 'had
'ailed to achieve desegregation" to bring a free lawsuit. But
in the overWhelming majority of school districts in the South,
there is now no legal requirement that local school boards
evenattempt to '" achieve desegregation". Before there can be
a failure of ,duty, the're must first be a duty ~ These provisions
of 'Title Thr.ee merely ·assume the duty and proceed to its
failure. , '
One is tempted to leap from a sin&r.e convicti9n that
discrimination', is, -Wrong, to a false conclusion that a Federal
law is .the proper way to' prevent it. The intensely personal
problems of racial feeling carmot ,be solved by any Federal
law, the roots go deeper than Congress can reach.

The two teams were in a
briefing session until noon, anC\
immediately upon their return
to the studio the first rehearsal
was scheduled. Following the
run-through, interviews were
outlined and special shots were
set up. During the break one
player said, "The first time we
went through this it was ex­citing,
but this time it's slower.
We are much more relaxed"
Yet, the time was going fast.
It wa':. already 2:30 when the
scholars went to be made up.
Getting out for lunch and taking
a wa I k was unanimously the
uppermost thought in the mind
of everyone.
In a make up room lined with
mirrors John Horvath conver­Sed
in German with the woman
doing the making up, who is
fluent in the language. John
Kappenberg mounted a swivelled
barber's chair and spun around
for a solid five minutes. Every­where
in the room -a face was
reflected. Ge0rge GrelleI' un­seated
Kappenberg, and took a
,spin of his own. "How does
this work, John?"
"Pull the lever on the side,
George, it's the greatest.'"
,Following lunch in the coffee
shop overlooking the ice skat­ing
rink, the group walked
around the square discussing
their approach to the game.
. Back in the studio with some
time to spare, one man said,
"How are. the Giants doing?"
With the numberless monitors
on the stage, it was easy to find
one with the game. However,
there was so little sound that it
made it difficult to watch.
The hour had arrived for the
dress rehearsal. No one was
visibly nervous, but the rigors
of the long day were beginning
to show. There was little time
to ttilnk. 'There was a vague
beWilderment, and at times a
real puzzlement reflected in the
automatic responses of the
team. The small audience at
dress rehearsal seemed unat­tached
from the goings-on in the
theatre. Coaches from both
sides talked quietly with their
companions, the alternates from
Illinois seemed less absorbed.
A few pictures were taken.
There was tenseness in the
quiet.
It was the quiet before the

who feels that the team has
shown potential in scrim mages,
has a record of ten years ex­perience
in soccer. Kuhlman
was assistant coach at Bridge­port

had a perfect season this fall.
Coach Kuhlman stated that
"a substantial number of stu­dents
who showed up for the

for the team far exceeds
our earlier expectances." He
is pleased with the attitude of
tha players. "The boys didn't
seem to have much interest
last year," he said. "This year
they are shOWing a lot of en-

. This is the University's first

soccer field is presently being
designed. Its completion is ex­pected

the mighty Yankee bats pro­duced'
only four runs. The
dominance of Los Ang'eles pitch- .
ing was .so through that the
Yankees finished with a team
batting average of .171 as com­pared
to a .247 team percent­age
for the Dodgers.
Dodger fans, however, should
not attribute the sweep-in-four .
s'eries fully to the un~rringplay
of their fairy-tale heroes. The
Bombers did something con­trary
to the noblest of Yankee
traditions. They beat them­selves.
They lost the second'
game on a bungling pick off
play and a misjudged fly ball.
The third was lost on a wild
pitch and the fourth when the
sure handed first baseman, Joe
Pepitone errored on an accurate
throw from third baseman Clete
Boyer.
The Bo,,,bers could do no
right and the Dodgersnowrong.
The National Leaguers general­ly
out-classed the indestructible
Yankee machine. There was no
.room for error with the Dodgers,
flawless fashioned play. When
one man would slaken the line
another would tighten it. Their
offensive punch was balanced
from batters one to eight and,
needless to say, the pitching was
superb. The Yankees just could
not find the starting. button.
Only in the finale did the
Yankees have a glimmer of hope
mainly due to the near flawless
pitching of Whitey Ford. The lit­tle
left handel' fashioned an art­ful
two hitter but eventually fell
victim to the Yankee's awkward
field game. No one knows the
outcome of the series if Peppi
had handled Boyer's throw. My
guess, nevertheless, is a Yankee
sweep in the remaining games.
Mantle provided the necessary
momentum with his tQwering
home run in the fourth game.
The Bombers simply needed to
keep their heads above the
water. BM they weren't able to
keep afloat. They all drowned­they

For nearly half a century the
New York Yankees have molded
an .invincible baseball machine
which reached towering heights
during the reigns of the great
Bombers - Ruth, Gehrig, Di­maggio,
Berra and Mantle. Over
the years, starting in 1921,
they had bagged an incredible
total of 20 series while losing
only seven of the 60 World
Series staged in baseball his­tory.
The Bombers usually won
the S"eries and rare defeats were
thrust upon them only through
superman efforts by their con­querors.
From 1950 to the present the
Yankees have won eleven Amer­ican
league penants --bowing
only to Cleveland in '54 and
Chicago in '5!) and eight world
\' c ham pia n s hip s. The only
blotches on their series record
came in '55 against the old
! _ Broo1<lyn I Bums, the Braves in
'57 and the Pirates in '60,
but then again the series play
was not decided till the final
out 'of the seventh game.
In '55 Johnny Podres styrpied
the bats of Mantle, Berra and
Skowron in the final game to
make a dream come true for
the Bums. At Milwaukee, Lew
Burdette came back for the
third time in the seventh game
to deprive the Yankees of the
championship. And in '60 Ma­zerowski's
historic homerun off
Ralph Terry in the ninth inn­ing
crippled the Yankee chance
for a series win.
The 1963 Yankeeswerefavor­ed
to follow in the tradition of
their baseball dynasty. All sorts
of odds were cast in their regard
to grab the '63 World Series
from the supposedly impotent i Los Angeles podgers. History, r however, did not repeat itself

THE SPORTS D~~~CAMPBILL I
When this column hstappeareeJ, it exploreJ, 10 not toO
great detail, the changes here at Fairfield in the field of
athletics. A major part of that column mulled over the pos~i­bilities
of the new varsity Basketball Schedule and the in­creased
vigor with which the University pursued greater
status on the court. This was all fitting in that b:lskctball is
undisputedly the major 'sport on this campus.
However, the two newly organized sports of Soccer and
Rugby are also deserving of special recognition here.
The greater the number of intercollegiate sports a school
has, the better off that school is, f()r the ide.:tl is to have as
many students take part in athletics a~ is reasonable. "Mens
sana in corpore sano"-"A sound mind in a sound body";
this principle is as old as civilization and still highly applic­;
Jhle to education today. There 3re different tvpes of learnin~
and academic learning is only one. The experience of sports
can also be a great teacher. It has often been said that spans
can mirror life.
. As the school grows, in every dimension, It needs sup­port
from within. The two new teams do not appear to be
similar to the athletic flashes-in-the-pan seen hereabouts· in
r.9cent years. Both teams hav~ coaches and both ~eams have a
good number of students trymg out for them. 1 he new ath­letic
administration has provided uniforms and. equipment
for both teams and coaches Kenyon (Rugby) and Kuhlman
(Soccer) are wC!'king hard to develop representative teams.
Therefore, both the administration and the students
should cret behind these teams to the extent that they aren't o
left out in the cold. Both sports are exciting and both are
on the intercollegiate level, so there is no reason why the
student body cannot turn out for games whenever possible.
One way of looking at it is this: it betters the University
and the individual. Such improvement should be the goal of
every responsible student at Fairfield.

Ad Correction
pl'. John Kenyon, 'pI'ofessor
of psychology here at the Uni­versity
and head coach of Fair­field's
newly-formed R u gb Y
ClUb, attended the annual gen­eral
meeting of the Eastern
Rugby Union, which convened
at the Harvard Varsity Club.
The Union consists at 2~
member clubs from the uni­versities
and cities ant h e
Eastern Seaboard. The member
clubs have had a team operating
consistently for at least two
years. Fairfield, now recogniz­ed
as an affiliate, will ('onse­quel)
tly seek associate mem­bership
at the next annual
meeting.
The prospect of a new team
in the area, according to Dr.
Kenyon, was welcomed by the
o the I' members and several
games for the fall season were
arranged with Fordham, Holy
Cross, Harv.ard, the Jefferson
Rugby Football Club (affiliated
with Jefferson Medical College
in Philadelphia) and the Boston
Rugby Football Club. Fordham
offered to give an exhibition
rr.atch with Fairfield the first
week of November.
Dr. Denyon is 0p tim i s tic
about the team's chances due
to it's showing in practice ses­sions.
The coach's main aim is
to field two teams for the spring
season,
Professor Francis Coghlan of
Villanova University's History
Department advised Dr. Ken­yon
to schedule as many games
as possible the theory being
that although the losses might
be great, the team would learn
quickly.
The season opens on Octo­ber
19th at 2:30 p.m. against
Fordham on their home field.
The Fairfield Cleaner adver­tisement
in the October 2 issue
of the STAG contained a mis­pJ'int.
Continuing their pollcy
. of last semester, they ,are of­fering
a 20% discount. We ask
the students to make note of
thi's correction.

NEXT TWO WEEKS ONLYU
SPECIAL SAVINGS TO YOUII
Among the new developments
announced this week, by the
intramural office is the plan
to end the season with play­off
games betweeen the first
and second teams in each di­vision.
The division champs
will then play a final game for
the school championship.
League officials are also work­ing
out plans at the present
time for an all-star game to
be played later this month or
early in November. This game
will pit the freshman-sopho­more
all-stars against the best
players from the junior-senior
division. The players in this
gam e will be chosen on the
basis of the captains' recom­mendations.
The present season has been
scheduled to continue un til
Thanksgiving. In the junior­senior
division, each team will
play every other team three
times, for a total of twelve
games for. each team. In the
freshman-sophomore 1e a g u e
the teams will play each other
twice, for a total of fourteen
games for each team.
Ing tne league, made it three
straight by handing Griffin his
third loss with a score of 19-2.
Finishing the week on Thurs­day,
Pecoraro sent Finn down
to a 13~O defeat, and P. J.
Crowe, replacing Gatti as cap­tain
of a team now looked on as
a dark horse threat, defeated
Della Bitta 13-6.
At the end of the first week of
play Donnelly leads the junior­senior
division wittI two wins
and no losses; Hegarty and Kelly
are tied in second place with
one win and one tie each; Or­lando,
with two losses, shares
last' place with Schuck's yet
untested team.
In the freshman-sophomore
division O'Sullivan holds top
honors with three Wins, no
losses; Peco.rara and Crowe
trail in second place with two
and nothing records; next Sulli­van
and stewart, each with one
win and one. tie; and Griffin
trails the field with no wins
and three losses.
An innovation in intramural
sI;lorts this year was the option
given to captains to trade play­ers
during, t)1e first full week of
the schedule. The trading period
has not ended at this wr.iting,
but it appears that, while there
has been little or no trading,
in the upper division, the ac­tivity
among the freshmen and
sophomores has been exten­sive.
Informed observers re­port
that with the elimination
of one team in the freshman­sophomore
division, the addi­tion
of some recently signed
players to all !heteams, and
the change in both backfield
and line strength due to the
trades, there may be some
radical changes in the stand­ings
of the teams after the
next week or two of play.
Intramural ,Football Underway
Leagues Seeli School Cha.mpionship
The-nrs't week 6t the mtra­mural
football season was
marked by closely fought games
in be>th divisions, by competi­tive
trading' in the freshman­sophomore
division, and by the
announcement of a few inno- Ivations by the intramural of-
, fice. '
The junior senior-division
opened its season on Monday,
with five teams participating.
Tfle' opening day saw Andy Don­nelly'S
team edge Carlo Or­lando's
6-2, while Bill Schuck
forfeited to Bill Hegarty. Heg­arty's
team, playing its first
game after the forfeit, battled
Mike Kelly's men to a score­less
tie in one of the best
played games of the week. Wed­nisday
saw Schuck's team again
forfeit, this time to Donnel1y,'
while Kelly :sent Orlando down
to a 15-0 defeat.
The freshman-sophomoredi­vision
opened its season' with
nine teams a few days earlier
than the juniors and seniors.
On the first day of play teams
captained by Dan Gatti, Rich
Pecoraro, and Saki O'Sullivan
held scoreless the' te:fms of
Jim Sullivan, Mike Griffin, and
Ed Della Bitta, with scores of
19-0, '6-0, and 26-0. The same
day saw Dan Finn and Vin
L'Esperance fight to a score­less
tie.
After a weekend of planning
O'Sullivan again held his oppo­nent
scoreless in Monday's
game, defeating Pete Stewart
19-0. Della Bitta's men scored
once to defeat Griffin 7-0.
L'Esperance forfeited to Sulli­van.
On Wednesday L'Esper­allce,
with his team in a state of
disorganization, dropped out of
the league, allowing Stewart to
pick up his first win by for­feit.
