Winter Carnival Concert Features
The Lettermen & Carolyn Hester
CANCELLATION
Due to the illness of Mario DiCecco,
conductor of the Waterbury
Philharmonic Orchestra, the concert
scheduled for Saturday, December
7, at the Klein Memorial
has been canceled.
Carolyn' Hester, will fill the program
for the Sunday- afternoon
"concert of the 1964 Winter CarniVal•
THE. LETTERMEN
The Lettermen, who have a
"deep respect for good songs and
the people who write them" will
provide the "group sound" at the'
February 2nd twin bill. This
group boasts "one of the freshest,
most magnificent vocal blends
of any group in the entertain-ment
field." .
Tony Butala, Jim Pike and Bob
.Engemann. who blend their voices as The Lettermen, sing Old, standard
ballads in combination with
today's new instrumentation. Intermingled
with their repetoire
of ballads are folk songs and some
new arrangements, all in the style
which has made them famous.
Their Capitol record album,
"College Standards," includes
"The Whiffenpoof Song," "The
Halls of Ivy," "Graduation Day,"
and many other college favorites.
"The Way You Look Tonight"
and "When I Fall in Love," are
two of The Letterl}len's popular
single releases.
Individually, The Lettermen
have the same range and interchange
their parts. Their concerts
are additionally interesting
because they all sing solos and
are entertainers as well as vocalists.
CAROLYN HESTER
For the, folk song enthusiasts,
Cal.'olyn Hester will sing in her
own ".haunting subtlety." Her
method of approach to a song
differs from other commonly
known folk singers in that "she
has a high, pure voice' that can
.swoop down to astonishing low
tones, and she employs it with
an unadorned directness that gives
the original impressiop. of a single,
straightforward interpretation.
Miss Hester's Winter Carnival
performance will be her third
on the Fairfield campus. Three
years ago she appeared on campus
before full-house audiences in
two concerts sponsored by" the
Seven Arts Society.
Her first Columbia LP, entitled
"Carolyn Hester," was "unusually
well received." Her follow
-up album, "This Life I'm Living,"
contains many songs which
are traditionally American. They
include "Sally Free and ~sy,"
"Brave Wolfe," "East Virginia,"
and" 'Tis the Gift to be Simple."

FATHER RECTOR'S
CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
, Much has been saRi and written recently in connection
with our national tragedy aboUt the alarming spread of hatred
and fanaticism in O\1r country today. As we draw near to Christmas
and ponder deeply the message of the Christ Child we
wonder the more how this could possibly be with people who
are supposedly Christian. There is nothing indefinite or obscure
about the lessons of the Crib, lessons of love and tolerance and
forgiveness - and equality. There is no distinction in the Cave
of Bethlehem between high and low, wealthy and poor, negro
and white. There all men are equal, all sons of God, brothers
of Christ Our lord. May the love of the Christ Child 10 fully
possess our hearts this Christmas that no room is left for prejudice
or bigotry or intolerance. Then we shall truly understand
the meaning of the peace and joy of Christmas.
James E. FitzGerald, SJ.

If you have been reading this column-and I hope you have; I
mean I genuinely hope so; I mean it does not profit me one
penny whether you read this column or not; I mean I am paid
every week by the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes'and my
emolument is not affected in any way by the number ofpeople
who read or fail to read this column-an act of generosity
perfectly characteristic of the makers of Marlboro, you :would
say if.you knew them as I do; I mean here are tob:wconists gray
at the temples and full of honors who approach their art as
'tJagerly, as dewy-eyed as the youngest of practitioners; I mean
the purpose of the Marlboro makers is simply to put the best of
all possible filters behind the best of all possible tobaccos and
then go, heads high, into the ma~ket place with their wares,
confident that the inborn sense of right and wrong, of good and
bad, of worthyand unworthy, which is the natural instinct of
every American, will result in ~ modest return to themselves
for their long hours and dedicated labors-not, let me hasten to
add, that money is of first importance to the makers of Marlboro;
·all these simple men require is plain, wholesome food, plenty of
Marlboros, andthe knowledge that they have scattered a bit of
sunshine into the lives of smokers everywhere; if, I say, you
have been reading this column, you may remember that last
week we started to discuss Christmas gifts.
The makers of Marlboro, who take pleasure in bringing you
this column throughout the school year, would like to join
'Pith Old Max in extending greetings of the season.

As Vatiean II Closes 2nd Session
by William J. Burns
Some of the most significant
renewals in the entire history of
the Church were promUlgated one
week ago at the concluding meeting
of the second session of Vatican
II. Despite the outbreak of somewhat
sensational pessimism among
the national periodicals in the past '
few weeks, even a superficial
reading of the documents pUblished
last Wednesday testifies to the revitalization
in the depths of the
Church.
Undue concern seems tG be evi'
dent in regard to the practicality
of the decisions of the Council.
'True there was much reiteration
of the ideals and concepts which
have always been integrally part
, of the Church; but there was much
more than theqry in the newest
texts of the council. In addition
to the primacy of the Mass in
Christian worship the Council has
,explicitly decreed that the Mass
'must be Fevised. More than this,
it has indicated some specific
direction in which revision must
take place. The necessary position
of the laity has been absolutely
declared. Use of the vernacular
has been approved. Perhaps the
revision most indicative of the
reality of liturgical renewal is
the addition to the Mass of a com-

To The Editor:

. publishecf In' 'the New York Daily News
concerning the tragic death of our late
President. The letter which Is vel')' snort.
and to the pomt Should be siiicerelY \..vu-sidered
by each and everyone of us. The
letter reads as follows.
. vernment which wiil go into effect within
a year if accepted. Certainly, the completion
of the committee's work was first
in the mind Of the president and we are
sure it remains first.
At Council meetings, hours have been
devoted to argument and discussion over
parliamentary procedure. How long will
the Council continue this irresponsible
dallying before they realize parliamentary
rules are not designed to be disputed?
Rules are aids in running a smooth organization.
The Council is not a smooth running
organization; it is a series of comn1ittees
from which no one has heard
much. This surely cannot be blamed on
the' constitution presently in effect. That
constitution is lacking in many things, but
it is operable. The Student Council is becoming
a giant· pyrami<f turned upside
down, and a new and powerful constitution
should not be placed in the hands of
a group that cannot work together•.
The Council should decide upon agendas
for each meeting, and make representatives
aware of what action is to be discussed.
Members of the Council should
realize that the common good is the aim
of the Council and style its opposing and
supporting arguments along these lines.
The representatives have been elected
not to vote in favor of what is good for
them personally but rather to vote for
wnat is good for all of us.
Too much of the time spent at Council
meetings is wasted on the non-essential.
. The president's major duty this year is to
prove to the faculty and students that the
Council can operate, and he has not yet
begun to fulfill this duty.
A group which is not aware of its own
standards and scope should not be allowed
to set the standard and scope of other
institutjons. We want responsible leadership
in a smooth running organization.
The' present constitution makes allowances
for things of this sort, and the
Council should realize the potential of
this and any constitution under which it
may be working.
The STAG and other organizations have
a good deal of hope in the Class of '67.
By observing and by taking an active role
these men might prove the saving grace.
It is to their benefit to be active. The
new constitution could change the whole
contour of student life, and while they
have not fathered it, it will in many ways
'be their child. They can bring the constitution
to its maturitY in four years,
but first they must bring the Council to .
its maturity.
Perhaps the Freshman class officers
who will sit in the Student Council for the.
first time tonight would like to lend that
organization a helping hand. (N. B. - As
of this date the organization. is the Student
Council and NOT the Student Government.
Wishful thinking and "Student
Government" s;o-ns do not change the
reality of a CoUncil. Our Council will
become a government when and if the
proposed three - branch constituion is
adopted.)
In some areas the Student Council has
accomplished much. The honor society,
the food committee and the bulletin board
all add up to create on ca:npus something
which has long been missing: the voice
of a Student Council. The president of the
Council is working diligently. He has appointed
every representative and some
. members of the Student Association to the •
various committees of the Council. While
only a few have reported, we do know
that some action is planned.
fu other areas, though, it is difficult
to see-that this year's Council is any
better than the ones which came before
it. The STAG has attended every open
meeting of, the Council, and we have become
aware tijat something l§;wrong with
the Council taken as a gro1.!l\o)J1'h~ group,
which on the surface seems sa al-ive has
in reality, done virtually nothing. Each
individual in the group agrees that certain
things should be done, but as an organization
which is supposed to set the stand-ard
for student organizations the Council
has done nothing significant.
No action of the Council created the
committees. The Ski Weekend, Sports
Night, discount cards' and other innovations
were Simply reported to the
Council by the president In terms of
real action, the Council has done little
more than request an explanation in the
STAG of the recent film controversy and
has voted to do away with all meeting
announcements on bulletin boards. President
Davidson is simply informing the
Council of what is happening and then
leaving it to its own devices at the meeting.
No one has worked harder for an effective
Student Council than Jim David.

that has proved effective so much as it

Mass is the priest's mostelemen~dutY;
that the dialogue described should not be
recognized as an. unusual work for these
men. Yet, the time and energy demanded
for technique and text ar-rangement for
commentary have required more than
elementary perseverence. The commitment

in a long-needed public address
system in the chapel. The use of this

continue to evolve through more means
for participation (e.g. English hymns),
the priests' efforts must increase.
Considering the intelligence and tact
incorporated to this date and the acknowledged
effect upon the student community,
the STAG offers its encouragement to the
Fathers. If students express their comments
to the team, and the other priests
openly support and act to involve more
students at other Masses then the sacrifice
and its victim wiil have deeper·
wider significance and penetration in th~
community. We offer the fullest measure
of verbal gratitude and praise. We urge
our readers' full interest and active involvement.
Confession~ are ending as you walk into
Loyola Chapel. The altar, whiCh fits into
the design of the Communion rail, faces
the people. A small table stands midway
up the middle aisle and a student places
a host into the ciborium. Mass begins as
the commentator leads the congregation
in answering the celebrant's opening prayers.
The various lessons and common
prayers are given and responded to in
English. The sermon, usually devoted to
catechism in our parish churches, explicates
verses from the day's Mass.
At the Offertory preparation, three students
bring the water and wine and the
filled ciborium to the celebrant. Two
more Masses will be celebrated this Sunday
morning in the same manner.
Since September, a dialogue team of
three Jesuit faculty members, Fathers
Richard W•.Rousseau, James F. Bresnahan,
and William T. Egan, have inaugrated
and continued a gradually-evolving dialogue
Mass for the people's fuller participation.
With the support of Rev. Joseph
McCormick, S.J., Dean of Resident Students,
and the University Administration,
the three priests have labored through
the opening r-eticence to the present

students and visitors.

HE doesn't know what he is talking
about, that person has a lot of
guts or maybe something else.
My personal favorite on the album
is- "We Shall Overcome".
Miss Baez sings the song in a style
which at once accentuates the intense
spiritual qualit.y of her voice
and the confident triumphant tone
which has caused the song to become
so prominent in the civil
rights movement. Another song
that is familiar is "Railroad Bill".
This is done in a style which fits
Joan, but which is quite different
from that which is ordinarily
heard. The song "Once I Had a
Sweetheart" shows a common trait
of the folksinger, the development
into the blues style. There are
thirteen more numbers, even "The
Battle Hymn of The Republic".

Yet it seems to me that if the Catholic
colleges really expect to be accepted as '
part of the Americanfollege system, they
must concede to student governments and
student papers the same rights that the
average American college grants.
One of the most serious elements ofthe
problem is that the Catholic colleges are
engaged in a desperate search for faculty
talent. A major reason why they have a
hard time recruiting is that younger
Catholic academicians are often convinced
that there is no freedom on the/Catholic
campus.
The'Catholic colleges have argued with
some justification that this charge is not
true. Nevertheless, each new incident that
- even looks like an oppression of freedom
of discussion, ,does substantial harm to the
image of the Cathoi i c college in the,
academic community.
Clearly. . college administrators must
carefully weigh the short run advantage
of silencing an annoying editor or columnist
against the long run disadvantage
of frightening away talented faculty per;'
sonnel.
tions, which'must be effectively integrated with local sere
vices and internal communications systems.
Tom is presently Information Supervisor at White
Plains, New York, where he is responsible for keeping the
Eastern Area Long Lines employees informed of current
telephone developments of local and national importal!ce.
Tom Cashman, like many young men, is impatient to
make things happen for his company and himse~f. There
are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed
or 'rewarded than in the fast·growing telephone business.
Actually a faculty ought to be flattered
when the student body turns on it with
criticism, because this is a certain sign
that the faculty has succeeded in its purpose.
On the other hand, a quiet, uncritical,
docile student body is .a sign
either that the students are not thinking or
that they are plotting revolution. Ineither
case the school administration ought to be.
worried.
. From ·this point of view the outbursts of
criticism which have taken place recently
on several Cat hoi i c campuses are a
healthy sign, for they indicate that the colleges
are doing a better job than they had
done before.
It can be argued that' the actions of
editors or student leaders are often imprudent
or unbalanced and surely such an
argument is valid. Yet prudence and
balance come only with the passage of the
years, if indeed they ever come.
I am not arguing that student leaders
should be given complete license; and I
sympathize with school administrations in
the awkward positions in which they are
. more and more frequently finding themselves

Reprinted from "The Advocate," the
Archdiocesan paper of Newark.
The Loyola News (of Loyola University
in Chicago), one of the best Catholic campus
papers in the country, is the latest
student paper to become embroiled in a
controversy with its college administration.
Without commenting directly on the issues
in the Loyola controversy, it provides
an occasion for some observations
about the problems of freedom on the
Catholic campus.
The purpose of a college is to train
people to think (or at least this is what
Cardinal Newman argued). Ifyoung people
learn how 'to think, it is normal that they
will begin to think critically. When they
think critically, the first thing they will
criticize is the school that taught them
how to think.
This may seem like rank ingratitude on
their part, but it is understandable enough.
When you start to critically evaluate your
society, you will tIlrn your attention first,
of all to those ins ti t~ ti 0 n s which are'
closest to you.

First Troop. (Phila. Nat'l. Guard)
(3rd Round)
The First Troop game proved
to be one of the toughest of the
long afternoon and it proved that
the Stags could hang on when the
chips were down.
Behind a strong attaCk, First
Troop posted an 8-0 halftime
score. However, - in the second
half, Fairfield rallied IJehind
scores by Bob Batch and Doug
Ciacci and two precision conversions
by Ken Waters' to squeak
by First Troop 10-8 in a thrilling
come-from-behind victory. This
victory put the Fairfield A team
in the semi-final round.
New York Rugby Club
(semi-final)
In the semi-final round, Fairfield
drew the tough New York
. Rugby Club, one of the pre-tournament
favorites. This was a very
rough game and both sides were
tired from the three previous engagements
but the Stags had more
steam left and won 10-0 on tries
by Al Sullivan and.Bob Batch and
two more conversions by Ken
Waters. Doug Ciacci, injured in
the First Troop game, played the
fullback position in this game
where !iis duties called for more
defensive play than ball carrying
and gave him a needed rest. In
Rugby, no substitutions may.be
made once the game is under way.
Columbia Old Blues A
(finals)
In this game for the tournament
championship, the Stags were
clearly the crowd favorites but
the Old Blues proved to be too
.gOod and kept the Fairfield squad's
back to their own goal line~ -- .
The Fairfield ground attack was
stifled by excellent Columbia tackling,
. while the Old Blue backs
scored three times to beat the
.Stags 11-0 and take the tournament
championship.
Fairfield B Team 1-1
The Fairfield B team posted a
5-3 victory over the Westchester
Rugby Club's A team in the opening
round as Jack Ploehn.scored
the Stag try and Carl LoGalbo
kicked the conversion.
However, the injuries suffered
in this game by Fairfield turned
out to be a decisive factor in
the second game as a slowed down

THE SAFE WAYto stay alert

I .
'NoDoz keeps you mentally
.alert with the same safe refresher
found in coffee and
tea. Yet NoDoz is faster,
handier, more reliable. Absolutely
not habit-forming.
Confiden'ce is' a powerful weapon in any arsenal.
Greatness has never really been achieved without
it. On the other liand, its opposite, the inferiority
complex, can turn greatness into mediocrity and
talent into hesitancy.
This year's varsity basketball team experienced
some rough going before the season started. Injuries
popped up here and there, the team took longer
than expected to jell and as a result, looked bad in'
several pre-season' scrimmages. In the opening
game of the season against Pittsburgh, they lost by
twenty points a game they might well have won.
This isn't especially conducive to confidence building.
Fortunately, the' team refused to get down to
itself. This past Saturday, in their victory over,Bob
Cousy's Bo'ston College Eagles, they proved that
their talent was no myth and that they could accept
a little adversity and draw strength from it. The
victory is all the sweeter for the' adversity t-hat
preceeded it.
What may be overlooked, though, is the fact that
this victory gave the team the confidence they need
~o play their best. The schedUle, as everyone knows,
IS the toughest any stag team ever faced. The team
. has had the talent all along, it just needed the spark
to ignite it. The victory Saturday night supplied
that spark. '
Another thing that Saturday night's victory supplied'
is an abundance of ,favorable pUblicity. The more
of this we receive, the better. The College Bowl
team supplied quite a bit and the basketball team
if it lives up to its potential, should bring even more:

While on the subject of favorable publi«ity, mention
must be made here of the tremendous showing made
. by the Fairfield Rugby Club on November 30th in
the New York Rugby Club's "seven-a-side" tournam'ent.
Thirty-nine teams entered the tournament and the
Stag contingent finished second, losing in the final
game to the Columbia Old Blues, a team made'up
of ex-Columbia football players.
Spectators who didn't even know what or where
Fairfield was wound up cheering for the stags by
the time the final rolled around. To say that the
'school, as well as the team, made many friends
that day is an understatement. Once again congratUlations
go to the ruggers and especially to
their coaCh, Dr. John Kenyon.

Ja'mes White, '64, Commis'

released the ffilaTTntrllffiural football
standings for the fali season.
Michael Kelley, class or' '65,
ended up in first place in the Junior-
Senior division. This team
completed its tough schedule with a
fine 8-0-1 record. Carlo Orlando
and Bill Hegarty both tied
for second place with identical
5-4-1 records. In the FreshmanSophomore
league, sophomore Richard
Pecoraro led his team to a
first-place finish with a sparkling
10-1 slate. Kevin Sullivan guided
his squad to the number two place
finish with an 8-3 re4:ord.
Commissioner White noted that
although play-offs were scheduled
for the post-season in each division
with a final championship game to
determilJe the champion, theyhave
been cancelled due to the lateness
of the season. So, it will stand
that the two first-place teams remain
co- champions of- the intramural
football class.
Gerry Magner, a senior from
'Winnetka, Illinois, has recently
been elect'ed captain of the Fairfield
tennis team. Magner has
b~en a top man for the netmen
d\lring the past three years and is
expected to be the, St'ags' key
player this spring.
Although the cold weather has
,been' upon us for several weeks,
the Stag netmen are continuing to
improve their games while playing
indoors at the Westport Raquet
ClUb. Each man is able to play
twice a week for over two hours
on the red clay courts which are
housed directly behind the Green
Farms Skating Rink. The following
six players are ,participating in
this winter program: Gerry
Magnet, Matt Carroll, Jay Deppeler,
Nick Ovodow, Dick Westall,
and Leo Paquette. Their conscientious
practice is especially needed
this year since. the spring schedule
w1ll be the most difficult in the
history of Fairfield Tennis. D'.le
to the impetus given the team by
Rev. James Ring, both as coach'
and Athletic Moderator, the netmen
'will definitely be in shape. mentally
and physically, for their first
match in April.
The schedule is not complete at
the present time, since the athletic

an important part in ruining the

With the start of the second
half, Fairfield went quickly into

four quick points but they were
never able, for the first fifteen
minutes of this period, to muster
more than a three point lead. Many
times opportunities presented
themselves but the margin stayed
at around three points, and occasionally
saw B.C. spurt to a
one point lead. The last B.C.
lead was at 49-48 with about seven
minutes to play and two quick
baskets by Rafferty and Branch
destroyed this short-lived lead.
During the last seven minutes,
the sloppiness that had pervaded
the first half of the period departed
from Fairfield and courtesy
of good' ball handling by
Rafferty and Poole, Fairfield held
off' Boston's full court press and
came out on top.

B.C. GAME
Spoiling the much heralded debut
of Bob Cousy as a coach was the
ioh of the F airfie Id hoopsterIS 01.
Friday mght at the Roberts Center
'gym in Boston.
The 'underdog Stags did just this
by the slim margin of 69-63.
The game which was covered by
many magazines, wire services,
,radio and television saw Bob Cousy
thrown into the spotlight much
more than, the game itself.
The victory was a good one for
Fairfield for a number of reasons.
First it was their initial one of,
the year and .served as a big illspiration
toward last night's big
engagement with the Friars of
Providence. Secondly beating a
name opponent 'and, especially a
Jesuit foe, does a lot to raise the
spirit of the team's followers around
the school.
To ge't to the game itself, Fairfield
won because of silperior rebounding.
The Stags got two and
three chances for shots many
times while limiting the Eagles to
one shot. Another important fact
concerning the _rebounds is that
despite the fact that we missed
many foul shots (23 for 41), on
two or three occaSions missed
foul shots were followed up by
Pat Burke or Mike Branch for
compensating two-Pointers.
The contest was nip and tuck'
throughout the flrsthalf with Burke
scoring and the steady play of
Branch and Rafferty enough to offset
Boston's John Austin's hot
hand. Austin's last second corner-

-STAN POOLE watches the ball arc
toward the basket from the foul
line. The Stag sophs Poole, Branch
and Burke cont-rolled the boards
for the whole game, played bril-
-,--" liantly and demonstrated that their
lack of experience did not interfere
with their performanc'e. The
Bisaccamen whipped Boston College
to the tune of 69-63.
The University of Pittsburgh'
field house was the site for the
-~ opening ofthe'Stags' '63-64 basketball
schedule. The Pitt Panthers,
under the tutelage of Bob Timmons
provided the opposition, and then
,ran away from thelr guests by the
coun~ of 82-62.
An almost totally veteren Pitt
team took the floor against an
almost totally rookie Stag outfit.
Coach George Bissacca had four
Sophmores starting along with cocaptain
Larry Rafferty. The four
Sophs were Pat Burke, center;
Mike Branch and Stan Poole, forwards;
and Jack McGovern in the
backcourt.
This young group got off to a
good start and remained close to
their hosts during the opening,
period, helped by the timely scoril\
g of Branch and Poole who both
netted nine points. Pitt' s: ~ allAmerican
nominee Brian Genera,':
lovich also managed nine points'
,for the first twenty minutes and
-"paced his team to a 37-34 halftime
lead.
As the second half moved along,
experience began to tell and although
Branch countered time and
time again with jumpers, CalSheffield
and Dave Sauer combined for
23 points to allow the hosts to
pull away to the 82-62 triumph.
In this, his first varsity game,
Mike Branch established himself
as a man to watch at Fairfield
as he canned 21' points to lead
all scorers. Stan Poole, playing a
strong front-court game, netted 12
points. Sheffield, Sauer and PauL,
Krieger headed the Panthers'
scoring with 18, 15, and 14 points
respectively. '
