'Congress' should be modernized,
so that needed legislation would
not suffer under delay. He said •
,that he was particularly con­cerned
with the problem of auto­mation
which might undermine
the hard earned gains of labor
'since the New Deal, and stated
that he would support any in­itiative
on the part of Congress
or'the administration to seek so­lutions
for the problem of auto­mation
which makes one part

ARTHUR DEL COLLIANO '67,
Although it is practically neces­sary
for all dormitory students
to buy meals on campus, if there
case:=; where it is not necessary
the sW~ent should not be forcect.
JOSEPH KEARNS <64 In my
opinion it is a good idea in that
it gives the school an opportunity
to become more. unified through
a common bond of experience.
Naturally this will entail some
lack. of freedom,the few will
have to suffer for the many,
but dissenters have the oppor­tunity
to Jive off campus.
* *
(Author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boys!"
.; and "Barefoot Boy With Cheek".)
ROY CAMERO '67 I sincerly
believe that the number of. meals
should be arbitrary to each per­son's
desire. This wouldelimi­nate
expenditure and waste for
both student and cafeteria.
When there is a great demand for a product, a great supply
is placed on the market. When there is a small demand, there
is a small supply. Take, for example, castanets. You walk into .
any average American toWn today and I'll wager you won't see
more than eighty or ninety castanet shops. That is because the
demand is small.
For Marlboro Cigarettes, on the other hand, the demand is
great. Thus, you will find Marlboros - with all their yumniy
rich tobacco flavor and pure white Selectrate filter and pliable
soft pack and unpliable Flip-Top box-at any counter where
cigarettes are sold in every one of our fifty great States and
Duluth.
To Adam Smith, I say, belongs the distinction of popularizing
economics. Mr. Smith was followed by David Ricardo. In fact,
everywhere he went he was followed by David Ricardo. Mr.
. Smith finally got so annoyed that he summoned a bobby, as
British policemen are called, and had Mr. Ricardo arrested.
This later became known as the Louisiana Purchase.
Upon his release from gaol, as a British jail is called, Mr.
Ricardo reported to his parole officer, Thomas Robert Malthus.
They soon became fast friends;-and one night over ~ game of
whist they invented the stock exchange, or chutney, as it is
called in England. ,
Well sir, with the British having, you might say, a corrieI' on
economics, the French decided tluit they wanted some eco­nomics
too. Being, however, a proud nation, they refused
simply to borrow British economics, but insisted on inventing
their own. At first they tried using the truffle hound as a medium
Of exchange. When this proved less than satisfactory, they
switched to pomade. Discouraged by this second disappoint­ment,
they finally shrugged and said, "Oh, who cares about
economics anyhow?" and returned to the guillotine and Maurice
Chevalier.
America, I am pleased to'report, had much better success with
economics. Our early merchants quickly broke down economics
into its two major categories-coIns_and folding money-and
today, as a result of their wisdom, we can all enjoythe automatic
toll station.
Well sir, I could go on and on about this fascinating subject,
but I know you're all in a tearing hurry to rush out and sign
up for Econ I. So I will leave you now with two kindly words
of farewell: Gresham's La~'@l964MuBhuJmaD
Many of you have been avoiding economics because it is so
widely known as "the dismal science." Oh,' good friends, stop
ch,eating yourselves of many a laugh and cheer, because eco­nomics
is a positive riot! True, it is' called the dismal science,
but that is only because it was invented in 1681 by Walter C.
Dismal.'
It is easy to understand why Mr. Dismal's discovery ot
,economics is today almost forgotten, for the fact is that he
himselfonIy stayed with the subject for two or ~hree days..
After that he took up embonpoint, which means fatness. It is
said that at his apogee, Mr. Dismal reached 1200 pounds. This
later became known as Guy ,Fawkes Day.
It was not until 1776 when Adam Smith published his Wealth
of Nations (or Ozymandias, as it is usually known as) that the
world came to realize what a rosy, twinkly, fun subject eco­nomics
is. As Mr. Smith showed in his jocular little treatise, '
there is nothing complicated about economics.
We, the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, are tobacconists,
not economists. But this much we know about supply and
demand: you demand full flavor in a filter cigarette; we
supply it-Marlboro/

MR. JOHN MADDEN

Commenting . on education:
<'Some studerits seem to show an
interest in learning greater than
,I anticipated, but there seems to
be among many students an un­fortunate
limitation of intellec­tual
interests which is evidencect
by their TV habits, lack of in­terest
in current events, lackbf
support of the lecture series, and
an inadequate development of out­side
reading' interests. Maritain
makes the distinction between the
<natural intelligence' 'and the
<trained intelle,ct.' The natural
intelligence is man's curiosity,
his desire to know, his spirit of
intellectual search. The trained
,intellect is the natural intelli­gence
channeled, disciplined,
made scientific and schQlarly.
!fa wide and general desire to
know is not awakened•••then the
,later training of the intelle«t in
more disciplined ways simply
deadens and narrows the natural
intelligence. And the Jresult will
be the world's most uneducated
man-the specialist. It should
be the job of the earlier years of
education to stimulate the natural
intelligence. In the present state
of education this job falls largely
to the first two years of college.
To create this spirit of curiosity,
to intensify this desire to know
is the greatest cpallenge of the
freshman and sophomore
,teacher."

Mr. John MaddenS.J.,livingon
the third floor of Gonzaga Hall,
readily expresses his views on
the UniversitY,organizations and
education.
Mr. Madden graduated from.
Boston College in 1959. While in,
college 'he wrote for the school
newspaper and was managing edi-'
tor, h~was 3§.fdiiitant editor of
The STYLVS,a literary maga­zine,
and Editor-in- Cillef of th~( ,.
Yearbook. After graduation he
joined the Society of Jesus, en- .
tering the novitiate at Shadow­brook.
After spending two years
at Shadowbrook he went to Weston
to study philosophy. After ob­tilining
his Ph.L. Mr. Madden was
assigned to teach philosophy, at
Fairfield University~ .
"The basis on which I teach
philosophy is that our job in the
. philosophy department is to ex­pose
the student, il1 as intelligent
a way as possible, to the di­versity
of philosophic views
which history offers, and to aid
him to form, through reading,
r;eflection and intelligent guid­ance,
both a philosophical atti­tude
and a personal philosophy.
The idea of philosophy as an es­tablished
body of dogmatic truths.
seems to be nothing more than a ~
denial .of history. Philosophy is a
personal reflective search for
truth: it develops with history and'
is as diversified as human per-'
sonality."
Besides teaching philosophy
Mr. Madden is Assistant Direc­tor
of Intramurals. It is planned
to turn over the intramural pro­gram
to the Student 'Athletic As­sociation
under the guidance of
the Student· Government.· Pre­sently
there is a pilot committee
composed of freshmen and sopho­mores
functioning in this ca­
·pacity.,
Mr~ Madden expects a great
deal of Fairfield. "Itseems to me
that Fairfield is in many ways a
better school than I expected
but much of its value seems to.
be in the area of potency. Fair­field's
main asset is its youth
and its opportunityto fashion its
own traditions and personality.
Among the faculty there is a solid
core committed to make this tra­dition
one ofexcellence. The rea­lization
on the part of the student
body of the part that they have to
play in creating these traditions
of excellence seems to be grow­ing
slowly. I think that the next
ten years will be make or break

in which the Key officers.
especially the members, can ob­serve
the applicants in experi­mental
duties. For the meantime,
the Spectus period will last until
the 21 or 23 of April. It is hoped
that this Spectus period will be
extended over -a year when the
changes in .the' Key membership
plan become final. .
The reason for such an ex­tended
Spectus period was dis­cussed
and explained in this fash­ion:
The Key is coming out in the
open. We are now trying to clean
house a bit. But before we can
do things for the University, we
must first work for ourselves.
We can do this by making sure
that we accept men of caliber;
men of potentials. This Spectus
period is advisable, for it is in
this fashion that we can tell ifwe
do have such men. We shotild do
this in fairness to the University.,
and with consideration to the in­dividual.
VINCENT D'ALESSANDRO
When Vincent 0'Alessandro
came to Fairfield in 1961 from
Fordham Prep his mother told
him not to do anything but make
the Dean's List. As any normal
prospective college student
WOUld, Vinny paid no heed to the
advice. Instead he became at
tlte end of hiSfreshman year the
Deputy, Grand Knight· of the
Knights of Columbus, Ignatian
Council, spent his first summer
working on the Mississippi Ri­ver
for the Sinclair Oil Company
and half way through his Sop~o­more
year was appointed Chair­,
man 'and Editor-in-Chief of The

its motives were not to help
the school, but to help itself••.•
by improvement.
Another change· came iil the
application to the Key itself. Ac­cording
to this new plan, the
general application is divided
into two sections, The first SeC­tion

-::JThe. C:K.S~ is known throughout
the campus, and elsewhere, as a
service organization whose aims •..
are to foster loyalty to the'school
by its participation and assis­tance
in functions,
In order to do this, the pre.si­dent,
Charles Bialowas, proposed
a change in the constitution and
by-laws affecting ex-offiCio
members. According to the
changes, the four ex-officio
spots now available would be
filled by new members coming
from the freshIllan _<:lass. This ..
would boost the freshman mem­bership
in the Key to eight. Af­ter
an extension of a four year
period, the Key membership'
would rise to 42 instead of the
present 34.
Accorcting to -Bialowas, "it is
necessary to abolish the ex-of­ficio
spots. These men are not
necessary,and are cumbersome
to_the wo!~ings of the Key.

(3) On February 22,
1949, Pet~ C;:eeger Was listed
by the' Oatly Worker as a
participant in the New York
State Youth Board of the
<::;Ommunist Pany. On No­vember.
15, 1959, Pete Seeger
sign~d the Communist Pal"ty
theSIS. Pete Seeger has more
than I2 ci·tations in the
House Committee Report,
and at least 6 citations in the'
Senate' Judi-ciary Commi!:'tee
on Internal Security.
(4) In his contempt trial,
the Government informed
the Court tbat in the years
1942-1945 alone, Seeger llad
appeared at 24 separate events
sponsored by CommuniS'!:­backed
organizations. He was
cited by .the Commit,tee as,'
without' question, . the best
known of aU Communist en­tertainers.
Defenders'- of· this' folk­singer
spread apparently so­called
innocuous nature of his
performance ,and igno~e the
fact that he promotes the
Corrimualst Party's drive for
respectability and its fund­raising
activities.
In the future, it is to be
hoped that Mr. Freschi bases
his material·on the facts and
not his personat uninformed
opinions.
Sincerely,
John J. Timmel, '66
(2) Pete Seeger, who had
.been identified as a member
.of the Communist Party, was
convicted of Contempt of
Congress upon. refusing to
answer questions' about Party
Ip.embership and activities by
the House Committee on Un­American
Activities in Au­Aust
1955.
( 6 ) Pete Seeg¢.r h~s been .
on the fa,ulty of the Jeffer­son
School· of' Social Science
which was' dosed after being'
ruled as a Communist Train­ed
under the assumed name
. ing Sch()OI. but was re-open.­of

(5) Pete Seeger was again
convicted·for cO!1tempts of
Congress on March 30, 1961
but this conviction was re­versed
by a' higher court on"
the grounds that the Com­mittee
did notrilake clear to
him the purpose of tJ1eir.
Questions.
.Many Thanks
I would like to compli­ment
David Freschi on his
constructive analysis of Pete
.Seeger and his skill as a folk-singer.
Howe~r, I feel that I must
objeot most strongly when,
in the last paragraph, Mr.
Freschi discusses, not folk­music.
but right and' left­wing
politics, or at least his
conception of them. .
Mr. Freschi clearly inufers
that anyone to the political
right of: Pete Seeger is, in
fact, a non-patriot, a bigot,
or a fool. I. for one, do not
like Pete Seeger, and I resen t
being classified into one of
the three above mentioned
categories by someone who
obviously. doesn't know what
he's talking about.
So now that we've heard
Mr. Freschi's opinion on
what he thinks isn't "too far
le6t, .. let's hear the facts.
Some of the more pertenent .
facts regarding Pete Seeger
and his . politics are as fol-'
lows:
( I) He is typical of the
enitertainer who gives his time
and talent to the support of
the Communist apparatus.
He has been engaged in Com-
'. munist activities for two (?)
decades .' as well as being a
puppet of the communist
conspiracy a:s a folk-singer.
. I would like to take this opportu­mty
to thank all those who contri- .
bu·ted their time and efforts to the
succesS of this year's Wititer Carni­val.
I would first like to thank the
members of the Committee who so
willingly gave of their time with no
external reward for themselves.
Without their aid. there could never
even' have been a Winter Carnival.
Next, I would ·like to thank the
Queen's Contest; Judges Miss Mary
Kirk, Fr. O. E. Nickerson S.J., and
Mr. Carmen Donnarumma for their
time and patience at a -rather unen­viable
job.
No list would be complete with­out
thanking all those )'Tho attended.
For it's th~ people who attencl that
make a weekend and no amount of'
planning could ever replace them.
Lastly, I would like to thank Fr.
William Carr S.3., our moderator,
whose. words of encouragement kept
me g010g when 'all else failed.
I realize that I have omitted many ­(
too mi1OY) names but I only hope
they do not feel they have been for­gotten
because they could never be
forgotten. .
Gratefully,
George M. McGinn,
General Chairman.
. The talked ab~ut. balked about
· cafeteria is a problem of mutual con­cern
to all students. Ahhough men
on campus use it more often. all of
us do now and then push aside the
rubbish' collected on the lunch tables
and sit down like the king to his
feast.' .
The pr<;>blem is being in vestigated
by the .senIOr class officers; it is being
watched by the. Davidson-Duquette
et al, Food Committee (who will
· meet when enough complaints have
been lodged) with the head of the
Beechmont Dairy. . ..... . .'
Yet, one area whiCh has been more'
neglected than the food problem
· Ca~d that is possible) is that of pro­cedure
iIi the cafeteria. Procedure has
become a rec.ent conversational butt,
fue di~ussiori having four facets: ,1)
meal tickets; 2) appearance;.)) ref-
: use: 4) safct:y. '
.' : 1) Mandatory' purchase of the

,. .,. ,University meal ticket (three meals
.,' a day for asemestec) is unfair to the '.' LE77'ER:S TO THE EDlTO.'" on-campus students. Under this pres-
. '. ~ . ent system students are required to
__-,-_....... ....;._. ...:.. ......__....... ....;. .....l pyrchase meals they ,may never eat.
This requirement affects a large num- .
ber of students who go home on
weekends, find the food· indigestible,:
ot'who sleep through breakfast .
Often, one is simp,lynot on campus
~or a particular meal, having business
.. In another place. .
A pal}-as-you-eat program would
resolve this situation. Those who
wanted the semester meal.ticket would
purchase it. Others would sign for
, the meal as they eat, and would be
billed at the end of the month. The­unjustice
of .mandatory meal tie,kets
for on.-campus students must" be
abolished' immediately before unfor­tunate
circumstances arise.
2) Dinner is traditionall y the big~
gest and best meal of the day. When
a family or grou.p ea·i together they
show by their appearance that, the'
course of the day has not found them'
un;able ,to both look well and, act
pleasantly. .

FairfiEi'ldUniversity is inaugu­rating
non-credit classes 'in
painting for men and women this
semester (February 8 to June 1).
The classes, to be held on Satur­days
9 to 12'noon, will be iIi.;
struction and practice 'iessions
with individual attention andcor­rection.
They' are open to students
and adults of .the area. As the
ground '. dries and the ducks re­turn
to the campus pond, the
classes will move outdoors.
World'" known Palko Lukacs,
who did a mural this past sum- .
mer for OXford University Grad­uate
· Center, will be the instruc­tor.
He was trained at the Mas­ters
Schocii of the Vienna Acad­emy
of FllleArts; ran his own
teaching studio in Havana, Cuba;
and has exhibited in Paris, Ge­neva;
London,. Oxford, Berne,
Havana, and New York•.
The goal of the .class will be to
prepare people to draw· and print
for thelr own satisfacttolJ. or
as part· of their profession as
designers, teachers, arChitects,
etc.
Behind the scenes organization
is one of the most difficult tasks
for any group. largely because
it appears somehow to be effec;';
tive only in its own terms -'
to have no real link with the
achievement of final goals.
The last five years in Fair­field'~.
history have seen a good
. deal of this type-. of planning.
One' could sit for ·hours in a
meeting of the Student'Govern- '
ment or the STAG editorial board pr the. CardinalcKey Society l!Il.d
think at the end of it that noth­Ing
really had been accomplished.'
Far too often the leaders and
mem1:ers of these groups. and •
their related groups,'are dis­heartened

-"""Tlie Cardinal Key Society on.
. campus was formed five years
ago in .order to provide persons
to . fulfill the services required
by the expanding nature Of the
University. Within a few years
there was a mentality about the.
Key that displeased the mem­bers
publicly while' some mem­bers
secretly fostered the image
in their hearts. It was the idea
'i.hat the Key members are bette.r
than everybody ElIse because they
had to' have .a certain average
·and the approval of the Dean tb
be admitted.' The Key was the
"R,ector's baby boy" accordfugto
its critics, and the baby boy'S
enjoyed the 'sweet infancy.
The Key, like the Student Go-
·vernment and tire STAG, are be­ginning
to grow up, and the first
problem that it has face(lis the
·fact that unless it is do~g soJ1'le,.

They had better either get off

campus·newspaper and. revealed,
in relative terms, the best-core
group on the campus: Silent for a

ONIONPATCH
COUNCILOR RESIGNS
"I see by the papers that one of our S~ydent Councilors has resigned.
:Like many other stUaents,. 1 wonaeTwny• .JUst What lana 01 a sltUafion
woUld prompt SUCD action? Was it ~ Interminable wrangling of the"
Council over picayune points? Was it the unimaginative and reac­tionary
attitude of the Council? Or was it a mere grandstand play?
. The reasons for resignation have to be both personal and publlc.
. Persollal, because a m.an cannot participate long in a typical Student
Council debate without loosirlg :h'1s' self':teSpect. Yettesigning for'
purely personal reasons woUld betray the trust of the councilor's
constitutuents. In conscience he inust fulfill his obligations to his
class as he sees best. Herein lies his publiG duty; and reasons for
resignation. . .•
. Within tile next few months student government at'Fairfield will
reaeha crisis point, a point; in facti of life or death. A new com-
, prehensive .Student Government Constitution will be presented for
.litudent approvfU. and, _nodo~gf,will be passed•. Then what? A miracu- .
lous ~f~rmationof student govetnme~t to allvmg en~ybe.'.
-But more likely .the stillbirth of a l1feless form.' Unless we do some-thing
about it. .' ..
, For the new government will need two basic ingredients: student~ ..
and moiley~ . '
. The purpose of student gOvernment is not to usurp powers that
coUld be better handled by the school'administration, but to assist "
'the administration in' providing social and academic leadership
where it is needed. To do this' the government needs dedicated,
,imaginative workers. And let's admit that tOday, as in the past, our·
most competent' students are not On ijle Council. Very few see'm .
genuinely interested in these offices for the purpose of rendering
meaningfUl service. In this' yeaI"'s senior class there were only
enough students running to fill the availa,ble .positions. The other.
classes did not' much better. ~If student government is to.live, it
must· have the interest of qual1fied .candidates' and an intelligent
electorate. Perhaps a resignation will wake up Fairfield to this fact
of life.
. The second ingredient, money, is a. very old and necessary evil.
Students have often cried for power in their council. Well money, you
know, is power. That is why, beginning with next semester and the
new constitution, we must have a compulsory student activities fee to
subsidize campus publications. social and cultural events. sports
admissions, and other valuable fields of interest'-A student fund for
this purpose will foster more independence, creatiVity, and activity
in student endeavors. Anactivities fee is long overdue, and a must for
successful government•..
But in the end the answer to this councilor's resignation Gan only
come from his constituents. Someone once said that people' mainly
get the kind of government they deserve. In our case this ·seems so
very true. In the next few months students will dedae whether they
really want a. student government at Fairfield. .
Our resigned councilor can't 10se.. 1f as he hopes, this resignation.'
sparks some student action, he will have made his point. But if it
doesn't spark action, there will be no student government, and he may
as well have resigned anyway. . .

Congress has lately been the target of sustained criticism from
the news media. The critics allege that Congress is too slow, too
lazy, and that the rules under which it operates are outdated. ThUS,
the New York TIMES states that the 88th Congress "has done little and
took an unconsciably long time:to do even that•••" Walter Lippmann,
in an artiCle entitIed 71Governmern Unworkab~called the 8lffil "a
bad Congress", further stating that the country "needs and deserves
to have abetter one". The liberal National Committee for an Effective
Congress says that President 'Johnson will have to speed up a
slow-down Congress.
In the face of this formidable criticism, are there any circum­stances
which mitigae in Congress' favor? Congress' critics might do
well 'to take into consideration several circumstanceS which make it
more difficult for the Congress to exercise its legislative duties.
The proliferation of government agencies and the ambitious efforts
of the federal government to regulate a complex society magnify the
task' or Congress~-In 1934 there"wer'e approximately 200 federai
bureaus and commissions employing about 500,000 people. Today the
number of federal ag~ncies has jumped to 2,000 and there are 2.5
million federal employees. The greatly increased number of federal
agencies makes the annual authorization and appropriation offunds a
long drawn out process. In earlier years Congress could usually
finish its business by July 4; nowadays it is running almost continuous
sessions.
The assumption of world leadership by the United states following
, World War II has incr-eased Congress' workload. ThUS, Congress today·
, spends twice as much time in the consideration of foreign affairs as
• it spent before 1939.
Beginning with Franklin D. Roosevelt, Presideilts have adopted the
, practice or presenting the Congress with a series of 'must' proposals
. which increase their already staggering work lo~d. The proposals have
become so numerous that, as Sen. Harry Byrd has remarked, it is im­possible
for a single representative or senator to consider thoroughly
, the federal budget. .
Congressional critics are besett.>rE~seassumption which colors
,:heir whole approach to Congress; they assume that when the J>resi-,
dent proposes that the Congress should act, and when the Congress'
rails toeniCt the President's propOsals', tIiis' ispri'ma fade eVidence
of a Congressional failure. The New York TIMES states that Congress
has a GonstItutional obligation to function as a legislature. This is
- quite, true; b!1t the. ~T~E~ 'shoul!!have-addecftiiat it is as much tb~
function of a legislature to reject a Presidental px:oposal as. it is to
pass it. Frank Meyer make~ this point in an article in NATIONAL
, REVIEW, and he goes further to state that Congress might legislate
'effectively by negatIve' IeglSIition, i.e:;- oy'repeaiIng some of the
• 'legisTation presently on the statute books. "The superstition thaffias
been developed in recent years that Congress is somehow obligated'
to pass into lawwhatever the President proposes'is a gross distortion
of the President's minimal constitutional relation to legislation."
The slow pace of Congress in the passage of legislation is presumed
to be a fault of the Congress. Far from being a fault in our constitu­tional
system, the slow progress of Congress may well be an aSset.
Congress, by refusing to be rushed (except in cases of national
emergency when it has acted without delay), prevents the hasty and in­considerate
enactment of legislation. The much maligned Con­gressional
hearings present each group in the nation with sufficient
opportunity to present its views. 'They provide the Congressman with
ample opportunity to weigh conflicting viewpoints and to make the
necessary judgements as to the best national policy. Repres,enta­tives,
in particular, by having to face the voters every two years, are
, forced to reflect accurately their constituents views if they wish to
remaill in office.
Congressional critics have proposed their solution for what they'
term the problem of the Congress. They would have senators and
representatives elected to four year terms to run concurrant with the
.presidential term. This proposal is particularly dangerous. It would
destroy the autonomy ana-iitdependtmceof'the Congress: Congress­men
and senators would be dependent on national presidential
campaigns for their election. The proposal would certainly create a
unanimity of national policy, but only at, the cost of an equally.
valuable diversity of interests which the Congressman represents.
As it is now, Congressmen are able to maintain a degree of indepen­dence
from the executive branCh; they are not confined by the rigid
party discipline which characterizes the parliamentary system. This
is as it should be; for it allows Congress to act as a check on the
over-zealous proposals of the executive. '

Classical Music
THE STAG
Society Formed
DR. NORMAN
A group of students interested
in classical music are organizing
a classical musical society. The
purpose of the society would be
to further the knowledge and ap­preciation
of classical music.
Dr. Ross, who has long had a
personal interest in orchestra
music, and Mr., LUkacs, who be­gan
his formal training iIi theory
at Vienna, have offered to mo­derate
this music society.
Several years ago, the St. Ce­'
celia Academy was also a so­ciety
founded for music lovers
Who had a special interest in
classical music,: A large num­ber
of students attended the initial
meetings of the academy, but
their interest waned. At the end
of the year, the academy con-
"sisted of five or six members
and was not re-established the
foilowing year.
Therefore, a new effort is being
made to organize another classi­cal
music societyf the personal
interest and efforts of the mem­bers
()f the student' body will de­termine
if this classical music
society will begin arid end in the
·same way in which the St. Ce-celia
Academy began and ended•.

It may be a misconception on my Part, but in view of so, many
recent changes .we have beEm hearing about with regard to curricu­~
um' and the like there seems to be an almost self-satisfied attitude
wUhin the student body. Perhaps this is merely the same old story
of apathy that was last year's dead horse and dirty word. Can it be
ture that no one cares about the. academic future of Fairfield Uni­versity?
It would not appear so from the large number of complaints
one hears tha:t the. school is small-time, second rate 'and doomed to
obscurity. These. all sound very much like the answers·to every prob­lem
the school is having and the solutions to nothing. Can it be that
we are all· so well, pleased' about the great showing we, made over
nation-wide television that we are now convinced of our excellence
and <:an sit back on our laUrels because all has been done? Then too it
may be that exam timl;! is not the time to be involve4 with any­thing
else.
I recall last year when there was so much enthusiasm about the
,Academic Forum. During the past semester I think I heard it men­tioned
once or twice. It will be very unfortunate if such an insti":
tution dies, because here was a real chance for the scholastic needs
lnd'desires of the students to be heard. Perhaps the reason we ,have
not heard more of the A.F. is because of the recent lethargy on the
part of the'student Council. Does. it not call to mind those words
of the· well-known Poet: "Parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus·'
mus"? ·All the Arts students will know what I mean. The promise
of things was great last year, and this applies not only to tlie excite­
·ment over anew student government. But it now seems that because
we have succeeded in having a few good lectures, movies and a
triumphant College-Bowl team it is time to stop. We have no where
else to go.
Well, this has just been a start and the added push and boost that
we needed; and to let it die would be to put us back where we were
before these things happened. There is a saying that progJ;.ess is
never made by standing still, in fact, to stand still is to go backward.
Now. that, change is in the air and now that we have the necessary
impetus and medium through which to make our own wishes heard we
cannot say the heck with it. The Administration has. made an opening
move, but the students are the U~iversity~

A. Musical Treat
This year wlll see the breakup
of. one of the oldest and best
folk groups. This is, of course,
the Weavers. The group was
forme9 in 1948, and has had
gr~at influence on the field and
other younger groups. They haYe .
a style which, even with their
:wide interpretations, never lost
'its integrity~ It thus remained­always'
a legitimate form of folk
music. .
. On their fifteenth anniversary
thl;! Weavers staged two concerts
· at Carnegie Hall. The concerts
wete recorded by Vanguard in an
alJ:>.u_m entitled "The Weaver-s.-
~Reunion at C8,rnegie Hall 1963".
.All "of the Weavers were tnere,
seven .in all. Erik Darling and
Frank Hamilton, both excellent
blues folk singers, were there.
Bernie Krause,' a talented new
meml:iet',was the· youngster of
the groiIp. The others included
the incomparable Seeger, vet­erans
Fred Hellerman and Lee,.)
Hays, and, the Female of the'
group, Ronnie Gilbert.
The. album is a fitting anni­ver.
sary _celebration, and in my,
opinion displays the Weaver'
. genius til fine form. The' songs
are for .the most part fam1l1ar.
"Come. Away Melinda", an anti­war
song sung by Fred Heller-
·man, and '''Train Time", by Erik .
Darling, might not be too well
known. The former is very ef­fective
and might even make' a
"Bomb 'em and the heck with it
man" 'stop and think., if he
, bothered to' listen to the words,
The r.est of the songs are familiar
and done with the Weaver touch.
The songs range from the slow
"Melinda" to "When the Saints
Go Marching In"• The last three
·songs on the secondsid~ will
'recall the early works of The
Weavers. These are '''Goodnight
Irene" by Leadbelly, "Study War
No More", and "Round The
World."
The album is of course only
a part of the Weavers, The field
of folk music and entertainment
in general' w1ll suffer a loss.
They had a great talent which
cannot be forgotten. Some may
say they leaned:in the wrong di­rection
politically, and therefore
their· talent cannot be appreci­ated.
If this type of criticism
can be justified in determining a
man's talent, I'll. st~p liste~g.

"BILLY LIAR"
There are liars and there are'
lfars. But none of these sur­pass
Billy Fisher, who lies to
his parents, to his employer, to
his girlfriends, and even to him­self.
He lives in a world of.
dreams and falsehoods, every 'so
often retreating to his imaginary
kingdom of Ambrosia, where he
is supreme ruler. This is thel
,.situation of the hnari~us, yet.
, "Billy Liar." . .
Billy (Tom Courtenay) lives
with his parents and gfandmother
in a working class housing devel­opment.
He gets up late in the
morning and goes til work as an
undertaker's clerk. He is engaged
to twO girls and possesses only
one ring. He hates everything
about· the reality of his life from .
· beginning to end. He hates thE
cliches dropped on him by his
family, loathes' his jdb, and is
disgusted with the rugged north-
-.ern indi.viduals he associates
with who are all exactly' alike.
He also detests himselr'forstand­ing
back in contempt. Somewhat
like Thurber's Walter Mitty, he is
both acomical and tragic char­acter.
Jolin Sch1esi.nger's direction
is unique to English cinema.
His constant switching between
reality and Ambrosia provide
much of·the comedy. His tran­sitionsare
not as artistic as
Fellini's tn " 8 1/2", and they
are a trifle overdone. Again and
again, Billy will be caught lying,
·and we then see him in a uniform
gunning down his adversaries.
Another element unusual to the
British is the camerawork of
Denys CooP. In one scene, Julie
Christie is photographed at eye
level walking down a crowded
thoroughfare. Her B0 u n c i n g
skipping and dodging of traffic
is freshly pleasing to the eye. i "Billy Liar" is so full of
.laughs that it sacrifices. much
of its emotional potential. While
a feeling of ambiguity is main­tained
by the comedy, cl!'rtain
. scenes don't seem to fit in.
The haunting meeting with Coun­cillor
Duxbury in the field,' for
instance, appears unrelated to the
rest 9f the film.
Tom Courtenay, star of" Lone­liness
of the Long-Distance Run­ner",
gives a brilliant perfor­mance
as Billy (a role once
.. played on the stage by Albert
Finney). His face is a weathered
·one, young but old; and his act­ing
is the same youthful fresh­ness
combined with the talent of
one more experienced. The big
entertainment surprise came
·with Julie Christie playing LiZ,
a carefree and vivacious "angry.
young girl" and good friend of
Billy's. Her brand of sex is re­fined
yet simple, and adds much.
,to her delightful Performance.
The laughter you will fine in
"Billy Liar" is. ribald, often:
caustic. Don't be surprised if it
leaves a bittef aftertaste.

REVIEWS
For the lady who tore up or
hid in the bookshelf a recent
nationally published article on
sex and love in the United StatEis,
"Tom Jones" will not be en-.
joyed. This film version of Henry
Fielding's eighteenth century tale
of a misadventurous country lad
who kills his own father (or
nearly so) and sleeps with his
mother (or did he? or is this
really mama?) is worth the wait
in the long line that has formed
at Cinema 2 in New York City•.
"'I'om Jones" is a party that
rotates in full color from coun­try
to city life, and it will be
the best party of the year. No
one talks about the movie; rather:
they tell their friends about all'
the irrascible, dastardly and
primly proper characters they
have met on the scre.en.
Tom himself, played~~t
Finney, is .another ofthose uni':'
quely incorrigible people who now
and then (but far too rarely)
bless the annals ofscreen and the
printed page. From first credit
to final cut he rollicks through
enough rape, riot and rebellion
to rank with the best of modern
day boys and who want to, and
their co-eds who do. Only Tom
is higher and better than his
·would-be twentieth' century com­petition
because all the time he
laughs. He laughs at sex, at
himself, at his enemies, and even
at us. Somehow, though, every­one
has a good time. No one
asks, "Is all this meaningfui?"
Sheepish and gallant, Tom.··
jumps from inn to inn, bed to
bed, and finally into the fire
in search of his identity. He is .
filled with a sense of justice
(who is the father?) and mercy
'(I shall live as if it is me.)
However, the most importantand
most enjoyable question, be­comeS)
"Who really is the bas­tard
and who is not?"
Clearly defined characters are .
easily defined one, and so Squire
Western (father of Tom's be­loved)
is a fun-loving, roly-poly
·old man who wishes he were a
boy again and' hunts intermit-
· tently with his cherished hunting
dogs or sleeps with whores as
th!;! spirit or the urge strikes him•.
"Were he a boy, he would be
another Tom Jones who at least
makes a friend of his women
before they make mistresses of
themselves. Tom's enemies con­sist
quite logically of a good
many husbands and afew fathers,
but in the merry-go-round of
mistaken identities one father
turns out to be his real uncle
and another saves Tom's Ufe in
a move which' smacks of a bit
of fantasy.

drunkeness, gluttony, lust and

Tammy Grimes plays Edward
Woodward's first wife Elvira (de­ceased)
who comes back in the
prospect of killing him so she
might have him forever in her
world of spirits. Draped in a
ghostly gray gown and visible
· only to her husband she flys
around stage (a feat which she
performs as well as Mary Martin)
upsetting the entire household.
She and Woodward have a few
songs together reminiscing about
the ups and downs of their mar­riage.
He proved to be dissal'-
· pointing, vocal wise, and the
lyrics just don't allow Tammy to
be her frivolous self.
Beatrice Lillie comes to the
rescue in Act II with a touch of
real comedy. Her antics onstage
are hilarious and her costumes
are hideously· absurd. She is a
professional medium between
this world and the next. It was
through one of her seances that
Elvira came back to this world.
With one hand on her crystal ball
and the other' on a ouija board
she proves to be the only comic
relief•.

This week's sports personality
is an affable athelete from Hart­ford,
Connecticut, who is ree- :
ognized not only for his athleti~
accomplishments but also for hiS ~
'sparkling school spirit. Pat
"Burke, a 6'3", 200 pound sopho­more,
is a graduate of Hartford
Public High School and is pre­sently
a mainstay on the Stags
basketball team,
Hartford' PUblic HIgh won its
. league championship and was
, runner-up in the state with Pat
at his center pos'ition, This same
school proceeded to the New
England Tournament and cap­tured
the coveted crown with Pat
being selected as the most valu­able
player in the tourney games,
To culminate his high school
career, he was awarded an honor­able
mention to the all-New Eng-land
1:?asketball team. , , ,
Pat 'lost no time in his Fresh-
: man year taking up where he left
off in the tourney ga'mes., He
displayed an impressive ?l ')Ioint
per game average throughout the
season and in his opening col- .
lege basketbaii game: h;hii flU:
40 points against Saint Francis,
As the season progressed, there
was great hope that this Fresh­manwould
make the varsity ranks;
this he accomplished in an inde­lible
fashion,
'As a sophomore, Pat holds
down one of the starting forward
positions and is currently one of
. the hottest players in the east, '
This rugged lad has been leading
the squad in 'total points with a
20,6 average per game, Against'
C.C.N.Y. two weeks ago, he netted
31 big points for his seasonal
high, His favorite shot is an ac­curage
jump-shot anywhere with-
,in the key and one needs not to
be a very sharp basketball critic
bo observe his power.hll and
deadly lay-ups, This sophomore
is known for his, keen ability to
sink baskets with his unorthodox'
style that leaves the avid spec­tator
amazed,
Pat is happy to see' Fairfield
go big-time as opposed to being
confined to league play, In his.
words, "In order to draw big­time
material, we must compete
. with big-time schools, Then and
only then will we truly represent
Fairfield," In reference to the
stags record, ·"Although we have
good over-ail average height, we

Sonny Liston's only loss to date
is to Marty Marshall in 1954.
It seems that Marshall nailed

points. In two return bouts, Liston
K.O.ed and decisioned Marshall
respectively. He sports a 35­1-

The scheduling of tougher, better-known teams in the next few
years gives a greater audience the opportunity to see that Fairfield
plays a good, exciting game win, lose or draw. The greater the au­dience,
the greater the number and quality of ballplayers who'll
want to come here. It's similar to the effect that the College Bowl
had on the number of applications the admissions office received
earlier this year. Thus, .each Year the team will improve, the team's
record will improve and sooner or later, perhaps sooner than we
think, the "big Ume"classificaUon will come our way.'

Player of The Week
At the end of .the first month of play in the intramural loop, Dick
Robinson, a guard on Vic Costello's team in the Junior-Senior di~
vision, has averaged 20 points per game With a personal, high of
26 points against Jim white's team. Dick is thus the first in a series
of players in both upper and lower divisions who will be recognized
for outstanding play in the intramural wars.
Iy JEFF CAMPBELL
MeanWhile the tougher the schedule we play, the better the team
becomes. Sort competition makes for a weak team. The important
thing is :we have a nucleus to build on, and at the same titne, we
have a 'team that can attract a lot of favorable attention While it
grows. Big time isn't so far off.
The philosophy 'backing up Fairfield's Decision to go "big time"
next year is just as valid now as it was when it was originated.
Our .500 record this season may give rise to.some doubt among
Stag backers, but a good look at the facts points up the wisdom of
this year's schedule and that of next year's slate.
Firsf of all, when a team decides to go big tinie, it doesn't
suddl,mly emerge like, a butter::Qy, from, a eoccoon: and beat every"
opponent in sight. It goes through a difficult and sometimes painful
metamorphosis, slowly attaining big thne status and recognition.
',Over a period ofyears it gains a reputation that enables it to inaintain
tts highez: ranking. . ,
At Fairfield this year, we have a trio of sophomores who are
.undoubtedly excellent ballpl~yers now and who, by the time they're
• seniors, can be expected to be even better. Pat Burke, Mike Branch
, and Stan Poote are not only good players but,they also combine both
flash and class early in their varsity careers. Players like this not
only attract the attention of the crowds in generilJ. but also the atten­tion
of the highschool ballplayer who is trying to decide where to play
ballin college. '. ,
Oilce again, on February 25,
hundreds of thousands will turn
out at the theaters to see the
."heavy weight fight of the cen­tury."
Will they again be disap­I
pointed by a one-sided fiasco
'when Sonny Liston gets into the
ring with Cassius Clay? The odd­makers
tend to think so on ac­count
of Clay's youthful inexper­ience
and the champion's behe­moth-
like power an~ ferocity.
The Louisville Lip first came
into prominence at the ROme.
Olympics in 1960 at which, fight­ing
as -a light-heavyweight, he
• won a gold medal by outpointing
Ziggy Pietszykowski of Poland.
Not only did this victory boost
his prestige, it also inflated his
,ego to the extent that thereafte:r
only two words came ·from his
Big Mouth - Cassius Clay. Ar­riving
back to the States a few
weeks later, he was the center
of attraction in all circles. Asked
by newsmen of his plans; he
braggardlY replied, "I .am the
greatest fighter who ever lived.
'I will be the youngest man to
'.ever with the heavyweight cham­;
pionship." So, his hat in the
ring, Clay launched a career
,which is bringing him a fortune,
and, if nothing else, color to a
dying game.
In the professional ranks,:
Clay's encounter with a paunchy,
rather wornout oldman named
Archibald Lee Moore was, troni-cally
enough, his first important
victory. From there he continued
his undefeated streak with wins
over sUchmEm as Dough Jones­and
Henry Cooper. In all his
bouts, Cassius has displayed
speed, punch, and agility. He
has also shown .the' lack of per­fection
always present in a young
fi~hter. Clay can be hit and can
be floored. Ask Lucien "Sonny"
Banks (Who's he) who flqored
Clay on nationwide television two
years ago. Clay does, however,
'have tremendous potential; the
,general opinion is that it has
not yet been sufficiently devel­oped.
At any rate, not enough for·
him to be ready to meet Liston. . ,
