One of the goals is to encourage
men interested in the course to
se~;;ct it as a major and to offer
a, variety of electives such as'
"American Philosophers". The
opinion has been expressed that
our graduates might not be ideal­ly
equipped for graduate work in
philosophy. This could possibly
alienate them in non-Catholic
graduate schools and pro Ion g
their work.
Although the transition period,
starting in September, will bring
about a mix-up of courses and
teachers, it will also bring new
stature to philosophy here at

Upon announcing 'the Sunday

Festival General Chairman Wil­liam
Graziadei '65 also made
known the program for the Prom.

The philosophy course gIven by
Fairfield University, in keeping
with "changing times," is step­ping
over the threshold to accom­modate
participating man. The
first 'step is a cutting down, but
riot a minimizing, of the philoso­phy
curriculum. The now re­quired
twenty-seven hour's willbe
limited to eighteen hours in order
to leave room for electives for
prospective philosophy majors.
By; eliminating introductory ma-,
terial, the teacher will now be
able to present the core of the
SUbject, for example, a strict
,concentration on MAN 'in the
Philosophy of Man course which
is nOw being given to juniors.
Next year's freshmen will be
the most influenced by this shift.
Alt~ough the program, schedules
and teachers have not as yet been
fully planned, the basic outline is
as follows: First year will consist
of an introductory course in phil­osophical
knowledge and prob­lems
in epistemology: sophomore

The Supreme Court will be

The SUpreme Court is an ap­pellant

Also mentioned was a Student

the Government $20,000 per se­mester.
The money would be dis­tributed
by the treasurer to the

concert will be the featured en-'
tertainment at the Sunday after­noon
concert of the 1964 Dog­wood
Festival. The' Trio, which
originated at Gonzaga University,
in Spokane, Washington, has per- ,
forII!~ in concert at' CarnegiE'
Hall (New York), Ravinia Park
(Chicago), Minneapolis Audito­rium
(Minneapolis) and many col­leges
and nightclubs across the
country.
Chad Mitchell, Mike Kobluk,
and, Joe Frazier - collectively
known as the Chad Mitchell Trio
- highlighted their long list ot'
engagements with a fifteen week,
tour of Latin America. They:
travelled under the auspices, of
the President's special interna-:
tional program for cultural pre-'
sentation, a project of th.e U.S.
State Department.
The Mercury recording artists
describe themselves not as folk'
singers but as singers of folk
songs. "Folk singers are people'
who have really experienced the
things they sing about," explained
Chad Mitchell. "They 'know the ,
areas and the people. They know
what it's like to ride the rails,
work in the fields, arrive in town
without a cent in their pockets.
"For this reason," he continued:
"'we don't feel we can legiti-,
mately claim to be folk singers.
Rather, we're singers who use
folk and folk-oriented material,
in our work."
The reason the Trio sings folk
music at all, then, is explained
by another "folk" of the group:
"We all feel that the folk idiom'
somehow best conveys the ideas
we feel and wish to express,'"
related Mike Kobluk. Asa result
the Trio have recorded several
satiric songs including' 'The John
Birch Society" and their rendi­,
tion of a new graduation song
for 'ole MiSS, "My girl was only
seventeen, when she was chosen
riot queen." They believe the
folk idiom allows them to ex­'
press their ideas; that is, in ad­dition
to entertaining they are
able to examine the mores and
moral codes of today (in an en;
tertaining way).
Enjorced 'By Courts
The Judicial Branch will be
composed of a student court and
a Supreme Court. The Student
Court will be made up of four
Seniors, three Juniors and two
Sophomore judges. The fresh­men
will have no representation.
The court will be directed by
a Chief Justice, who with another"
Senior Justice will sit in, the
Supreme Court. The Justices will
be appointed by the President.
There will also be a court clerk
who will set the date of the trial,
notify the accused, provide infor­mation
and administer the oath;
and a court stenographer who will
record the proceedings of all ses­sions
of both courts.
The fact-finding board consist­ing
of three Justices will deter­mine
the magnitude of particulaI'
violation prior to the hearing.
Cases tried in these, courts
will be cases of infractions of
L~t~!inaJ:YCode. which will ,
be similar to the ,stUdent Hand-book.
Procedure would be: a student
violation of the University Com­munity,
including students,
faculty, administration, regula­tion
would be reported on a court
form by. any memrer of the Uni­versity
Community, including
stUdents, faculty, administration
and employees of the University.
The accused party, whose infrac­tion
has been determined by the
fact finding board 'is summoned,
by the clerks of the Court· to,
within three days of the notifica­tion
of the infraction. Missing
:they would do their part to make
,its facilities more avaHable. The
understanding between the two
brothers is the motive for the be­quest
made to the University in
memory of their parents, James
Allen and Anne Courtney Allen.
The President of Fairfield U.,
the Rev. James E. FitzGerald,
B:J., said that the bequest made by
,Allen will be used for scholar­ships
for deserving students.
"James Allen", Fr. FitzGerald
stated, "did not go to high school
(his brother was in the class of
1900 at Bridgeport High School)
but he and his brother had a deep
appreciation of the value of edu­cation.
Their concern for youth
and for education will be me­morialized
in the aid given to
deserving students at Fair­field
U."

ulty will meet today'to consider
the constitution of the new Student
'Government. If no dr;J.stic
changes are deemed necessary,
any minor changes will be
amended at the meeting and then
resubmitted tQ the Council.
The proposed student Govern-'

at a recent Council meet­ing.
The Student Government will
be composed of three branches:
executive, 1egislative and judica!.
The Executive Branch, headed
by the President, Vice-Presi­dent,
and Treasurer, will en­compass
many of the activiti~s
of the present Student Council
(eg. lending money, running ac­tivities
accepting organizations
on campus). The President, Vice
President, and Treasurer will be
restricted in their participation
in other extra curicu1ar activities
by the constitution.. This would
force them' to de,vote the great
part of their time to the Govern­ment.
Under these will be an Execu­tive
Chairman, an advisor, apd

The Legislative Branch will
be composed of a group of com­mittees;
(finance, ways and

and honors.) They will

to introduce needed le­gis!

We, the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes,pro'tnise smoking en-joyment,
and we think you'll think we deliver it-in all fifty
states of this Union. Marlboro Country is where you are•.
But if you insist on joining Signa Phi Nothing, let me give
you several warnings. First off, it is the only fraternity which
adniits girls. Second, there is no pledge -period; each ne;w mem­ber
immediately goes active. Perhaps "inactive" is a more ac­curate
word: there are no meetings, no drives, no campaigns,
no sports, no games, no dues, no grip, and no house.
The only thing Signa Phi Nothing has in common with other
fraternities is a fraternity hymn. In fact, two hymns were sub­mitted
to a recent meeting of the national board of directors
(none of whom attended). The first hymn goes:
Stgna Phi Nothing,
Shining star,
How we wonder
If you are.
The second hymn, rather more poetic in content, is to be
sung to the tune of Also Sprach Zarathustra:
A Guernsey's a cow,
A road is a lane,
When you're eating chow,
Remember the mein.
Pending the next meeting of the national board of directors
(which will never be held) members are authorized to sing
either hymn. Or, for that matter, Frenesi.
Perhaps you are wondering why there should be such a fra­ternity
as Signa Phi Nothing. I can give you an answer-an
answer with which you cannot possibly disagree: Signa Phi
Nothing fills a well-needed gap.
Are you suffering from mental health? Is logic distorting
your thinking? Is ambition encroaching on your native sloth?
Is your long-cherished. misinformation retreating before a sea
of facts? In short, has education caught up with you?
If'so, congratulations. But spring is upon us and the sap is
rising, and the mind looks back with poignant longing~to' the
days when it was a puddle of unreason.
If-just for a moment-you want to recapture those care­less
vaporings, that warm, squishy confusion, thlom join Signa
Phi Nothing and renew your acquaintance with fecklessness.
We promise nothing, and, by George, we deliver it!

Nothing and get this hideous membership pin absolutely free,
simply take a pair of scissors, c.ut out the illustration, and paste
it on your chest.
. Let me hasten to state that I do not recommend your joining
, 'Signa Phi Nothing. The only thing I recommend in this column
is Marlboro Cigarettes, as any honest man would who likes
good tobacco and a good filter, whose heart is quickened by it
choice of soft pack or Flip-Top Box, and who gets paid every
week for writing this column.
I am frankly hard put to think of any reaS~n why-you should
join Signa Phi Nothing. Some people, of course, are joiners by
nature; if you are one such, I am bound to tell you there are
any number of better organizations for you to join-the Cosa
Nostra, for example, or the Seciety for the Placing of Water
Troughs in Front of Equestrian Statues.
Bel. Series Plan
Future Speakers
When a council of the Church
which calls itself "ecumenical"
takes up the question of "ecu­menism",
then there is likely to
be a bit of confusion on the ver­bal
level if on no other. This is
what- happened in the closing days
of the second session of Vatican II
when the Schema on Ecumenism
was introduced and efforts were
made to put it to a vote before the
session ended. .
"Ecumenical" means world­Wide,
global, universal. At the
present moment in history.. when
man's knowledge of the universe
and its human inhabitants has
been vastly expanded, one has
every right to expect that an
ecumenical council wOuld carry
out its deliberation in a OO!1text
that would embrace all m~eii and
all creation. The Schema DE EC­CLESIA,
considered earlier in
the session, does just that. It
speaks of the' mission of the
Church as including all mankind
and calls the Church the sacra­ment
or sign of the unity of all
men, which·it is her mission to
achieve. The term, "ecumen­ism",
on the other hand has a
more restricted meaning. It re­fers
to a moment in contem­porary
history which has as its
objective the unity of all Chris­tians,
- Catholic, Orthodox and
Protestants. It enhances the unity
of mankind only indirectly inas­much
as the mission ofthe Church,
to achieve that larger unity is ad­versely
affected by 'lack of unity
among those who call themselves
Christians.-_
The first three Chapters are
entirely on Ecumenism and are
particulary well done. They begin
with the enunciation of a set of
principles called "the principles
of Catholic Ecumenism" which
are meant to serve as guides to
the Faithful in their participation
in the ecumenical dialogue. The
first asserts that Christ founded
only one Church to which all men
are called in unity. The second is
that in the course of the history of
"the one and only Church ofGod,
schisms have arisen, dissentions
have developed and some commu­nities
have pulled away. Never­theless,
the Chllrch still recog­nizes
AS HER SONS those who
believe in Christ and have been
duly baptized in Him, even though
they do not enjoy full commu­nion
with her." The third is that
"in the mystery of salvation the
spirit of Christ does not refuse
to use these separated Churches
or Communities as means of sal­vation,"
but it points out that
The BelIal-mine Lecture Com­mittee
is in the process of for­mulating
the projected speaker
list for next year.
'The Series is planning four
lectures for the Fall, and three
during the Spring series. This
list would be augmented by the
Philosophy Lecture Series and
speaking engag.ements of other
clubs on campus.
The committee is sending let­ters
to members of the different
departments who will offer sug­gestions
concerning speakers in
their respective f,ields.
The committee has divided the
types of speakers into the cate­gories
of Philosophy, Literature,
Music, Art, Theology, Psychol­ogy,
and Science.
Names mentioned 'as possible
choices were Werner von Braun,
Carlton Blake, TedSorenson, and
Drew Pearson.
To aid in securing these
speakers, the Bellarmine Series
is asking for a $2,000 grailt for
the University from the S & H
Foundation. -, .
The committee also decided to
arrange for taping and publishing
'le'ctures for future reference. It
was also proposed that the Series
assume any loss incurred by a
paid lecture featuring Gene She­pard,
WaR radio commentator,
and underwrite a proposed art
, show to take place this Spring.

Key Society and Warden of the
Knight's of Columbus. During his
third year George is both a mem­ber
of the Education Club, and the
Dogwood Festival Committee and'
he is Grand Knight of the Knights
of Columbus.
George is a member of the
International Brotherhood of
Boilermakers,Blacksmiths, For­gers

sumrrers and vacations as a
boilermaker so he can support his
Wife, Kitty and his three month old
son Patrick Kelly Egan.
"Probably the most impres­sive
aspect of life at Fairfield is
the close student-faculty rela­tionship.
The informal atmo­sphere
of this relationship makes
for greater personal growth and
maturity. We as pioneers have

Barnes Heads
Honor Inquest
MORE on p. 8 col. 3
Paul Barnes '67 has been ap­pointed
chairman of the Honors
System investigation committee.
Barnes was named to this posi­tion
by James Davidson after Leo
Paquette resigned January 4 of
this year.
Joe D'Arco, Bart Franey, Bill
Egan, Kevi McGovern and Mike
Cortigiano, all freshmen, make
'up the body of this standing com-
, mittee.
The committee is presently
surveying the campus by inter­viewing
both teachers and stu­dents.
Barnes commented that
"the reason why we are doing this
is to get opinions throughout the
campus. The teachers realize
that there is extensive cheating
going on. We want to bring this
.fact out in the open."
In reviewing the reasons given
by the faculty Barnes continued
"Lax proctering, over crowded
classrooms and pride are only a
few reasons given by the pro­fessors."
In an interview Fr. Hutchin­son
S.J. commented that "There
is a misplaced attitude concern­ing
cheating in the American
moral system. In short there is a
misplaced set of values."
The committee is also getting
opinions from other colleges, who
do and do not employ the honor
system. "This will give us an
idea of what other universities
are doing about the problem."
The Committee realizes that

for the post of majodty
leader at the upcoming conven­tion
of the Connecticut Intercol­legiate
State Legislature (ClSL).
His opponent is MiSs Margaret
Hanson from Connecticut College
for Women.
A twenty-o~ man delegation
from Fairfield will attend the
convention, which will convene
for March 5-7 at the State Ca­pitol
in Hartford.
The Fairfield legislators will
propose two bills. "Truth In
Lending" is a bill to make man­ditory
the printing on the face
.of loan contract all interest and
handling charges. This is to com­bat
the hidden charges that are
often buried deep in a contract,
or omitted entirely.
The other bill would add an
amendment to the Food and Drug
Act. This amendment would make
withdrawal of consumer products
compulsory if there is any indi­cation
that these are harmful.

One of the highlights ofthe eve­ning
is the master of ceremenies,
Ken Taplin, who has been known
to take command of a restless
audience at a late hour and "make
them sing songs they've never

that they believe it is especially
good to have entertainment and

When taking a theology test in my
freshman year, I was astounded to dis­,
cover that it was required of me to know
the weight of the Cross. I expected never
again to encounter stich concern with trivia
In a theology course, and I didn't - until
.this semester, when I read the first chap­ter
of THE CATHOLIC MARRIAGE MAN­UAL,
the textbook for the Senior course
in Christian marriage. In this chapter one
is informed that "Every man.••is made
.different from every women, and every
'woman, (sic) .different from every man.
:These differences are emotional as well
as physical." The author assures. his
readers that marriage is a vocation as
much as is the religious life, and unlike
the religious life is a sacrament as well.
To reconcile his women readers to the
, fact that the husband is intended by God to
be . the head of the household, he quotes
st. Paul and Mrs. Dwight Eisenhower.

ecumenicism,since Mrs. Eisenhower is

the Adminis'tration. It is not for us
to question why, but only to do, or
get out. There is no argument, just
the reply that "it is none of our
business." Have those for whom the
rules were made no right to know
why they were made?
One of the more serious effects of
this attitude is that the students de­velop
the idea that they can do noth­ing
to improve their educational en­vironment.
Many studeli'ts in 'all
classes develop the typical Senior
attitude of "just wanting to get out
of here." In disgust with the lack of
a' more en'lightened and sympathetic
Administration, a few capable stu­dents
are quitting or transferring.
Aquinas made much of the words
"act and potency." The word
"potential" is one of the most used
and optimistk words' on campus.
We hear ,that in twenty-five or thirty
years Fairfield will be one of the top
schools in the country. Our cultural
location is ideal. The Administration
'is ,getting around to revamping the
Philosophy and T'heology courses
(By the way, what ever hapPened te­the

In his inaugural address Kennedy
said that his objectives would "not

will it be finished in the first 1,00.0
days, nor in the life of the adminis­tration,
nor even perhaps in our life­time

STAGNATION
In the last, issue of The STAG,
The ONION PATCH stated that
"~h~ ad .(-for F.airfield in AMERICA)
~lstmgwshed Itself as being the most
mnocuous, unimaginative, and in­ane."
It drew the, conclusion that
"maybe' we are so Well known that
we have no need toadvettise.:" 'We
:draw the conclusion' that much of
the policy and attitude of the' Ad­ministration
toward the students is
"innocuous, unimagi~.atid and in-ane."
',' .
Many valid criticisms ihade to the
~dmini'Stration have been completely
19nored and given no consideration.
When the Administration pulled
an a'bout-face and prohibited the
Freshmen and Sophomores from see­ing
"La Dolce Vita," it offered no
reason for the action other than say­ing
that outside pressures had been
brought 'to bear upon the school.
That was all. It knew what the
nature of the pressure was, yet it
,adamantly refused to inform the stu­dents
who was responsible. The Ad­ministration
took the attitude that it
was none of the' students' business.
We contend that it was ,the students'
business and right .to know why the
Administration implicitly agreed
with the critics that these classes were
not mature enough to see the ,film.
During-exam periods, the Admin­istration
should make"as much study
tillle as possible available to the stu­dents.
The Campus, Minstrels were
billed to sing outside the school on
the night 'before an exam. To say
the least, they were irate. This ap­,
pears to be the epitome of inconsid­ration
'to the students involved.
, Last year a student, in a letter tc
The STAG, complained that he was
unable to get change in the Library.
He was told that this was the rule
and that it was "NONE OF THE
STUDENTS' BUSINESS" why the
policy was instituted.
This attitude is all too obvious in

student body and are always in con­lJact
with them. The third point to
make is that in trying to act like the
law of the ·campus does not necessar­ily
make it so. How can they expect
to contend with the authori!tyinvest~
. ed in the Dean in a courtroom man-ner
as they propose? . .
. Many other colleges run a sort of ,
s~u~ent c0';1rt on campus on a very
hmlti!d baSiS. They take charge of the
students in such" things ,as tardiness
check-ins, etc., but they never touch
upon the authority of the adminis­tration
(Dean) at all.
The idea of baving a Student
Co~ncil.is a good one. Looking at the'
l!mverstty on strictly an orgaiiiza"
tional level, it needs a co-ordinating ,
, body to oversee its aff'airs, and make
sure everything runs smoothly.
The'idea of a Student Government
however, is a different thing. !tis a
very touchy situation of students
dealing with students. The idea-cof a
j~dkial branch outlin~d by thed,un­cll
last Tuesday, is ,too/broad and
needs more work.' The Council
~hould realize that it can never take
such extensive responsibility as it
hopes to.
The Student Council is trying to
take a major step towards a new
form' of Government. It is, however,
taking huger strides than anyone ex­pected
from it. Its new proposed
judicial branch is aimed at one thing;
making it the sole ruling ,body of the
t!niversity, thus elimin'ating any al­ready
existing authority. It will make
itself the hub of the University au­thority,
and will have ilts extending
arms completely wrapped around
every aspect of student life.
Such a proposal. if it is meant to
follow the Courts of our Federal
Government, seems to lack in many
respects. The idea of not having any
freshman representation in the court
is not democratic for a ,body trying
- to bring- justice. The courts of our
land are run by professional men,
experienced in law. Being a judge is
their job. But'on m~king,such a sys-
, tem applicable to a' university, we 'see
right away that things change. The

without harmful stimulants --
AB OR NOT TO BE; NO LONGER THE QUESTION
When the notice concerning the change in requirements for the
Bachelor of Arts degree came from the Office of the Dean, it was,
met with mixed reaction and assorted opinious; and now all is quiet.
The students of. the social sciences were overjoyed that they are now
students of the Arts. And the Arts students felt midly cheated of,
something that was the markoftheir special talent and predeliction ­something
they had been proud of. The air buzzed for a week or so
with various plans of protest that could and would be taken, but now
all is qUiet. Without a doubt the new"Arts students" are content and
the unspoken and unadmitted fact is that this change is a step up for
them. And apparently the veterans of what "used to be" liberal arts,
are satisfied to have theif degree mean almost nothing. It means
nothing because the Arts are now'seen to mean nearly anything one
wishes (except the study of what would be termed the physical.
sciences).
If the social scientists want greater prestige then I am all in favor
of giving it to them. Perhaps it is true that one cannot do as well after
graduation with the so-called stigma of the BSS. Perhaps it is not
fair 'that those who do "major in the Arts" and have not taken any
Latin and or Greek should be forced into accepting a social science,
degree. Perhaps it is true that there is really no such thing as the
Bachelor of Social Science. Perhaps there were many very good and
convincing reasons for this most recent change. Perhaps this was
necessary in an effort '10 be better able to communicate with the
other colleges and universities. Perhaps the spirit and particular
needs of our age .demanded such a change. And besides, why make
;such a fuss about something so ultimately unimportant as the change of
a couple of little letters after the name of a graduate? What does it all
matter in the final analysis?
Well, now we have come to the heart of the matter. The letters of'
the degree mean nothing of themselves. but they do signify what the
degree is and what is behind the acquisition of said degree. So the
'fundamental question is not whether,the pride of the AB man will be;
'hurt but what does his degree mean now and what does the new AB
degree mean. How has the change effected the definition of the
"Arts"? A total answer cannot be given to these questions now be­cause
the total effect will not be felt for some time' yet, but only a
fool would contend that this change makes no difference., True, ap­pearances
are not reality and what a man has inside of him cannot
be. seen through or indicated by the degree after his name. The change
will not harm the .real student of the Arts, but the danger lies in the
implications ijlat such an academic policy contains.
A concession 'has been made to the spirit and philosophy of our
times. Education today is not of the whole man who places his ultimate'
goals first, but it is the exclusive and specialized training of a man
who looks first to the proximate goal of a greater salary. It en-courages
the student 'to take whatever else he likes in place of
Latin and the value of which has only been objected to by the
pragmatist and son of the modern age. It would have us believe that
the Arts are the same as the social sciences or at least that a study
'of them is possible without the study of the classical Roman and
Greek authors. •
This change is small in itselfand perhaps to some too insignificant
to bother discussing it, but it seems to be oPEining the door to the
eventual death of what used to be the pride of the Jesuit university.
It is equally unfortunate that the stucients had no say at all in the
matter. Where was the Academic Forum? Then again, how many'
students, or rather attendants, of the University are even concerned
over the implications of such a change? I do not think it unfair that
.the reai Arts students demand that they receive an AB Classical
degree or something similiar which will indicate the true picture.
The decline and disfavor of the study of classical authoI:s In their
original tongue can only mean the ultimate death of the Arts, and yet
should we not be ashamed when the pride of schools such as the
'University of Texas and Trinity in Hartford is the classical depart­ment
of their colleges of the Arts?

One field of folk music which
seems to have a strong following
is that know as bluegrass. This
twa n g y style came from the
mountain folks, blended its blood'
a little with the Negro music, .
and added a dash of polish at the
barn dances and corn"shuckins"
and ended with what we know as '
bluegrass today. The style is
rather easy to imitate but diffi­cult
to do justice to in an authen­tic
manner. You can listen to
many country singers but the
good bluegrass singer will stand '
out. He may sound similar but he
or she will have an undefinable
spirit of the copper coil set.
The songs are mainlyofstand-'
ard background with, of course,
the individual variations of the
,artists. These variations are em­phasized
when one tries to trace
some of these songs. The inter­pretation
is legitimate as long
as the basic integrity of the music
:;1s not destroyed. The subjects of
,the songs vary. There are the
delightful and bawdy "Sally Let
You Hair Hang Down" and "Giv­ing
Everything Away." At the
other extreme is an anti-war
song (watch out for the conspiracy
!ellas). This type of song is not
too common in Bluegrass. Add to
;these leadbelly's "Green Corn"
and #II. few standards such as
·"Masters Bouquet," "Precious
Lord, " and "Tram p on the
Street," and you have a collec­tion
which can please the Blue­grass
aficionado and the casual
listener.

FACULTY PERSONAUTY
Yes We Have No Phi Beta Kappa<>
Last Decembe~, it seems, the national honor SOCiety, Phi Beta
Kappa turned down an application from Boston College for a local
chapte'r. Reasons for the rejection included the abundance ?f re­quired
theology and philosophy courses and the dearth.of lay phIloso­phy
teachers, as well as the predominantly Thomlst tone of that
curriculum. . '1
I can't say I blame Phi Beta Kappa. We all know the SImI ar
problems facing us here. Hopefully, the situation will begin to change
with the more forward-looking, and in many respects courageous,
revamping of our theology and philosophy curricula. It is quite eVid~nt
that presently almost no pne takes philosophy .seriO~slY at FaIr­field.
It is quite possible that a senior graduatmg thIS year, after
taking twenty-seven hours of required courses (the, sam~ as B.C.•)
could never have been presented with a challengmg sItuah?n 10
the realm of philosophy. Emphasis has been placed on teachmg a
Catholic philosophy (singular), rather than philosophies which are
compatible with Catholicism. And with the lack of lay profess?rS,
-it has become all the more identified with theology. r s .
A Catholic College has a very definite anq impor-tant flHlchon,
and among the most important facets of its function are theology
and philosophy. I don't mean to rule them out as meaningful subjects,
else I wouldn't be going to Fairfield. But I don't expect the powers­to-
be to rule them ,out either, which paradoxically has happened when
Catholic colleges have made them completely required courses, re­moved
from competition for excellence with any other curriculum.
Moving on to broader areas, a faculty member recently commented
in the STAG that "The next ten years will be make or break years
for Fairfield." , I couldn't agree more. We can be a "good" school
in tIle tradition of our brothers Boston College and Holy Cross (as
we already are) or we can choose to be an excellent school in the
tradition of -' w~ll, in the tradition of Fairfield.
The choice is up to the individuals in all branches of the univer­sity:
the administration, which in'the past has shown some signs of
complacency. and self-satisfaction, but which hope~ly under our
present dean shows signs of a very meaningful self-evaluation;
,the lay faculty, who all-too-often have been financially and moti­'
vationally handicapped from considering "the academic life here
as a full-time job, and who musthave some feelings of secui,,:.:"class
citizenship on seeing that not one of their number is a department
chairman so long as there is a Jesuit to fill the post; the Jesuit
faculty, who have had the tendency to rest on the security of their
pride in the order, but a good number of whom are now engaged in a
renewed quest for excellence in a highly competitive world; and of
course the students, so many of whom come here hardly questionirig
, their own motivations or pursuits, but who often also show a flash of
qualities which point to hope for the future of creative social and
intellectual accomplishments. "
Sometimes it's dangerous to talk about the future of a university
to those who will create it. There is nothing that comes automatically,
when the human X-factor enters in, for there are a lot of very prob­able
things in history, but nothing that is inevitable. Unfortunately
in our efforts we so often fail to believe it.
Phi Beta Kappa, you probably were]ight. But! hope I can show you
my university in a few years and tell you that maybe they'll accept
one of your chapters if you raise your standards a bit. I'll be aWfully
disappointed if I c~'t.

Town Publishes
SAM Survey
Thomas J. Fitzpatrick, Direc-'
tor of the University's Bureau of
Business Research, announced
this week the successfUl com­pletion
of the B~B.R.S.A.M.
"Statistical Survey of Fairfield
Consumer Buying Habits."
Reported last May in the STAG,
the major work on the survey
was conducted during the fall
semester by the F.U. Chapter,
Society for Advancement of Man­agement
(S.A.M.).
Initiated to determine Fairfield
resident's buying habits, the sur­vey
revealed that about 65% of
the purchases of goods and ser­"
vices are made outside of the
Town of Fairfield. Of that amount,
approximately 50% is attributed
to Bridgeport, with the remainder
spent in New York, Westchester,
and some of the N.Y. branch
stores located in this area. Other
statistics revealed that 97% of the
residents considered the general
price level in Fairfield as either
fair or a little high. To a'question
concerning qualities of a com­munity
shopping center, 58% re­sponded
there existed, too few
stores, and hence not a wide
enough selection. Concerning
preferred characteristics of a
store, 79% indicated quality of
merchandise as paramount in
their consideration. 'l;he survey
also revealed definite interest in
the possibility of attracting a
major department store to Fair­field.
Of those mentioned in the
survey, Macy's was favored by
61%, with 18% responding in favor
of stores other than Gimbels, G,
Fox, or John Wanamaker. With
regard to location for such a
major department store, 48% of
the respondents favored the aban­doned
Sherman School property
which is located on the Post
Road near the Fairfield Depart­ment
Store.
Recommendations made to"the
joint Town-Chamber of Com­merce
Committee that financed
the survey, highlighted a proposal
to establish a major department
store branch in Fairfield. In
support of this proposal was
recommended the institution ef a
s hop per's discount on public
transPortation, and improvement
in present bus service between
the heavily populated areas along
the BridgepOr~alrfield border
and the Cente • Many residents
'of this border area indicated they
shopped in Bridgeport merely for
convenience sake. Additional
r e com m endations emphasized
imp ro ve d customer services
which was rated second only in
importance to quality of mer­chandise,
by the respondents.
Specifically the establishment of
pick-up and delivery service,
gift wrapping and mailing, and
coat checking was proposed as
possible attractions of shopping
in Fairfield stores.
Summarizing the significance
of the survey, Dr. Frederick
Hamilton, Chairman of the joint
Town-Chamber Committee de­clared
that "this study gives us
'facts instead of opinions." He
'also noted that "if this study had
been done by a private organiza­tion,
it would have cost $4,000."
The survey cost the Town and
C. of C. $400 each according to
Edward p. Nolan, Chamber Pre­Sident,
who expressed his organ­izations
graditude and hopes for
"continued University-Town co­operation."
The survey, ayearlong'project
of S.A.M., was initiated last
spring at the suggestion of Robert
P. O'Neil, the Society's modera­tor.
In all, 1,171 house inter­views
were completed by the
stUdents" and each represented
several months of preliminary
planning and sample selection.
Commenting on the survey,
John O'Connor S.A.M. President
stated that it "offered a unique
opportunity in that by applying
statistical techniques learned in
the classroom to a practical
situation, the survey proved an
effective method of bridging the
abyss between theory and
practics.
"It is my belief," he continued,
"That such projects as this offer
,an unparalled opportunity for the
various speCialized' clubs on
campus, since they not only ass­ist
the student in mastering a
subject, as, well as offering him
valuable recommendations for
graduate school aid and employ­ment
opportunities, but in addi­tion

by Christ and all the means of
grace, yet her members do not
make full use of them; conse­quently
the image of the Church
does not appear to our sepa­rated
brothers with all the bright­ness
it should."
The more specific means by
which Catholics can further
Christian unity is readiness "to
take part in public expressions of
spiritual ecumenism - the very
soul of the movement - by COM­MON

brethren for the unity of the
Church. . "In special circum­stances
such as prayer meetings
for unity, and ecumenical con­ferences,
Catholics are allowed,
indeed encouraged, \~ )oin wi!h
their separated oreffiren. m
prayer." '
Another means towards unity is
that of acquiring a better know­ledge
of the doctrine, history and
devotional and ascetical life as
well as the religious psychology
and culture of the separated
brethren. This can be done by
joint conferences of experts, both'
Catholic and non-Catholic. Ecu-
,menical training in seminaries
and theological schools is next
treated and here there is special
reference to the effect ~uch tra~n­ing
should have on future mIS­sionaries.
"Catholic mission­aries,"
it says, "who work in th~
same territories' as non-Catholic,
missionaries,1need today, more
than ever before, to be aware of
the benefits which can come to
their apostolic efforts through
ecumenism."
Some ecumenists believe that
it is in the mission areas of Asia
and Africa especially where the

DR. JOHN A. BARONE
Dr. Barone,. Professor 'of
Chemistry and Director of Re­search
and Graduate Science, re­ceived
his BA in Chemistry from
the University of Buffalo and' his
M.S. and Ph.D. inOrganic Chem­istry
from Purdue University. He
has p.ublished several articles in
the journal-Of Organic Chem­istry,
and is the Initiator and Di­rector
of the Fairfield University
In-Service Institute for Secon­dary
School Teachers of Science
and Mathematics.
,When asked his opinion of the
Science Department of the Uni­versity,
he said "the Chemist.ry
Department courses and eqUIp­ment
'are very good, and the fac­ulty
is student orientated, that is
the student has an optimum
chance to work with the faculty
to realize his full capacity."
"The facilities however are
unity is likely to make its great­est
advances and eventually re­sult
in the unity that is the goal
of this movement. This opinion,
is based on the fact that oppor­tuilfties
for practical cooperation
with the separated Christians are
much more numerous i,n the
emerging nations, and the neces­sity
for cooperation more urgent
than in the developed areas.
While the debate on the three
chapters on Ecumenism was in
progress it became evident in
only a few days that they met
with the overwhelming approval
of most of the Council Fathers.
They-were ,proclaimed as making
"the end of the Post-Reforma­tion
period "in the history of the
Churcn and as opening a new era
in relationships between Chris­tians,
which hopefUlly in the fu­ture
might result in Christian
unity. Since the Schema affec­tively
put the bishops in each
diocese of the world in charge of
the progress of charity and dia­logue
with non-Catholic Chris-'
tians, there was a good sign of~~s
eventual success. There was, of
course, some opposition on the
part of a minority to some of the
,provisions of the Schema.
While it was perfectly evidimt
that only a small minority of the
Bishops were oppOsed to the
Chapters on Ecumenism, it was
just as evident that it was only a
few also who were against the
passage of the Chapter on Re­ligious
Liberty, which had been
separated in the debate from the
Chapters on Ecumenism.
The question that was being
asked outside the Council
amounted to this: was a small
minority in the Council engaging
in delaying tactics in order to use
up the remaining time so that the
vote could not be taken? There
was some evidence that this was
the case, but it was not.too con- ;
elusive. '
, 'As it turned out, the last day
of the second session came on
December' 2, and no vote was
taken. Cardinal Bea, who was the
last speaker, expressed the re­gret
of the majority of the Fa­thers
that the time had run out.
But he stated that; while disap­pointing,
the failure to vote on
these two chapters was not as
bad as it might seem. They
would, he said, be brought again
before the Council when it con­vened
next September.
'tight and although there is ade­quate
room at present, they limit ,
tuture changes. The new Science
building will enable the depart-'
ment to expand and more fully
develop in the future. The new
building will also be significant
in attracting new students to the
university."
Fa.culty research, in the
sciences as well as other fields,
is seen as very significant by'
Dr. Barone. The culmination of
'student development comes when
he gets the opportunity to utilize
his knowledge in conjunction with
his teacher in discovering new
knowledge. A professor must
keep abreast of his Held and be
able to handle new ideas.
Dr. Barone would like to see
curriculum improvement, and
student participation extended
throughout the school, in the form
of research and honors pro­grams.
Student faculty relations, he
thinks are good, but on the whole
he fee is a need for more willing­ness
on the part of the student
to spend more time in study ef­forts
which would contribute to
"the ihrprovements the faculty, is
attempting to make. The time
spent discussing the structure of
the course and the personality of
the professor could be used in,
,discussing the ideas -involved in
,the' 'course.
He believes that intellectual
ferment is the essence of a Uni­versity,
and college .should be
much more than a series of lec-
, tures--:J:iy a"Professor whoreturns
to his ~rson'aI life, and heardby
unwilling students who return to'
their personal lives: These four
years should "be" liie, not a
"burden" to life.
Fr. Kenealy
continued
In speaking of racial justice in
the North and South, Fr. Kenealy
said that most Southerners say
what they mean and practice what
they preach. In the North people
usually manage to say the right
thing, but do they mean what·
they say? He pointed out that
racial discrimination in housing
is worse in Chicago than it is in
New Orleans.
In regards to arguments that
the Negro is inferior to the white
man in his standards of health,
intelligence, culture and moral­ity,
Fr. Kenealy pointed out the
fact that a Negro of robust health,
refined intelligence, gentle cul­ture
and heroic Virtue, must still
sit in the back of the bus; while
the most diseased, stupid, un­couth
and immoral white man
rides serenely up front.
Statistics show that many Ne­groes
are less healthy, less cul­tured,
less mannered, and less
law abiding than many white men,
but they do not show that the ne­gro
has less apptitude for educa­tion,
a smaller capacity for vir­tue
or a smaller receptivity for
manners.
In fact, he said, statistics do
prove that racial segregation and
discrimination, by forcing the
Negro to exist in a sub-standard
'physical"educational, economic,
'and seictal enVironment, handi­caps
his efforts to reduce his
potential to actuality, his apti­tude
to achievement, his capacity
to fUlfillment.
~ It is surely .cruel and cynical
logic which argues for segre­gation
from the very evils segre­gation
has produced."

program both in the type of events
loffered and the entertainment
featured. In an attempt to attain
this goal the Post Prom chair­men,
Leonard Pietrafesa '65 and
Joseph Santangelo '65. have
moved this event from the now
familiar atmosphere of the back
gym to the Nutmeg Room of the
New Englander Motel. The motel,
only a few minutes from the Long­.

lK,of C NOTES l-
I realize that I can add little to the torrent of praise of our
late president which has flooded the press since his tragic
and untimely death. However, I feel I would be remiss if I did
not attempt to tell you how it feels to be an American living in a
foreign country during a time of national crises, and I would 11k
to tell you how Europeans reacted to the pitiful event.--- '--:- '-'
I have never felt closer or further from America than on
Frid:l.y evening Nov. 22 (we're six hours ahead of New York)
when the first news reached us on the radio. It was frustrating
to listen to the voice 'of the VO,ice of America newscaster as it
faded during important announcements. At first, all we knew was
fhll,t <:p.vp.ral people were shot including thE!_President, the
'governor of Texas ana perhaps the Yice-Pre~iclp.nt.We.•hll_~,nO
lQea now many people had attacked the presidential party. About
an hour after the first report we heard the President had died
of his wounds. Quitely we went to church to say the rosary.
Most of us did not believe the reports for several hours.
When one lives in Europe, one soon learns to live with
anti-Americanism; subtle or open, left wing or right wing it is
always with you. One soon learns that you can't please all the
people all the time and may wonder why we try to please anyone
any of the time. My first reaction, I confess, was one of extreme
annOj'ance. I wondered why these people had any right to criticize
my trovernment.
T have' come to reali~ that the United States is more than a
fOl'!'llgn power to most Europeans. Thei-may envy lis;they,maY,
belittle us but underllnfng this is a deep respect for our sys1em
and our people. ' ' _
They realize that we are more than Wall St. aM sport shirted '
tourists. We represent an ideal; the strong and free democratic
society. And if we are not pertect we admit our faults with a
frankness that most Europeans find more annoying than the
faults. It is becaus~ they respect us so highly that they feel
justified in criticizing us if we do not meet their individual"
standards.
It took the tragic event of November 22to bring these feelings
to the surface. The-reactionofthepeople in Italy was not purely
emotional; it was real. We were stopi>eObYPeople on the streets
who wished to express their condolences.
, ReportedlY, the first public Mass in Italy for the President
was offerec\ by Bishop Topel of Spokane, Washington who was
'spending the weekend at "Gonzaga in Florence." We were
surprised; when we entered the church early Saturday morning,
to find it filled with people from the neighborhood and with
Italian students who had heara by word of mouth that Mass
would be offered.
I wondered, especially at the students I saw mourning the
President. Every type of political view was pre{esented from
Communist to Fascist. What was it about this Boston Irishman
that made these 'lost sheep' mourn him? I think it was some­thing
very simple. In an age of scepticism and pessiqlis~ he
gave them purpose' and hope. With his youth, his love of life"

OUTLOOK ON
LAT1N AMERICA
A NEW AWARNESS
The fight for stability in atin America is fought on four fronts:
the political, the economic, the SOCial, and the educational. To the
Latin American such a problem is posed as a virtual dilemma. No,
government can exist in anarchy. No feasible system of collecting
taxes could be put into effect without a government, and so on, until
no semblance of order remains. Of the four, perhaps the starting
point of this stability is to be found in education.
When thinking of education, we tend to restrict our concept of it to
higher education. In Latin America, approximately 3%of the children
have the opportunity to attain a university diploma, as the distribution
of wealth is quite centralized. Not being as advanced, technically, as
most Western European nations~ agriculture plays an extremely im­portant
role in the Latin economy. As a,result, a coordinated system
of rural education best serves the needsof the farmer. Through rural
education the CAMPESINO can be shown 'not only to improve his
'farming methods and output, his family'S hygiene, but also his
knowledge of vital agrarian reform legislation for which he can vote. '
In Guatamala and Costa Rica, fruit growers are instructed in the
most modern and' up-to-date methods of plant grafting, cross­breeding,
and harvesting fora larger and finer product. Insecticides
and chemical fertilizers insure the farmer against a poor crop or
insect blight. On the South American continent, "land poor" countries,
such as Bolivia and Paraguay, receive assistance from trained
governmental workers and foriegn agrarian specialists from the'
U.S. and Europe. Many countries which receive the bulk of their
G.N.P. from the extraction of minerals, have to diversifY and augment
production in other fields so as to have a more balanced economy. '
Animal husbandry is one example of this diversification. The size of
herds are increased, and herds are begone where there were none
before. Now the farmer can have more milk, cheese and meat for
family consumption and for sale in the market. In short, areas which
pertain to the CAMPESINO but have not as yet been tapped, become
an integral part of his daily routine.
To what can the success of these 'rural education programs be
attributed? The governmental workel: and the foreign .Y9I~t~2E_p1U,
extremely important roles bubwithont'..we advent of a change in an
ordinary household appliance, tm!lT work would almost be futile.
'This change, which took place in the late 1950's transformed the
"electric radio into a cordless transistor radio, which could be carried
and listened to in the most remote farming and jungle areas. Now
the government and volunteer groups could teach by radio and convert
time consuming daily trips into weekly progress checks. More time
was now available to tlo researCh, to pay mpre attention to individual
problems, and to plan more constru~iveprograms for the farmer.
The cost of a small transistor radio could be spread in periodic
payments, thus allowing... the cultivator to use it as soon and ,as long
as possible.
'NoW the tiller of the soil, the raiser of livestock, the weaver an' I
the potter can have themselves and their families instructed in :
practical and sound method of instruction. It is a method which hal
aided the agrarian worker in his determination for self-betterment,
and in his contribution to the sought-after stability for which he longs.
* * *
In college life, a passive and indifferent outlook is detrimental to
the academiC, moral, and social life of the student and indeed of the
university itself. A student must not shelter himself in the world
of bread and games which suits him. He cannot withdraw himself
from the true concept of college life. He cannot and should not ex­~
ct anything from a univeristy unless he also contributes. He must'
intergute himself into his calss, and, be a part of the school. If a
class or school is to succeed in its ideals, it needs the utmost support
of its individual members. If a class or school is to fail, then a lack
of a sense of interest and participation helps in its downfall.. A co,..
operative, positive outlook will aid the student, the class, and the
:school. And it 'is in this attitude that the student will realize a sense
of that maturity, iliat 'responsibility which is so vital.

Sincerely,
Freschi v. Timmel
To the Editor: .
I would like to take this opportunity to
thank Mr. Timmel for his generous com'!
pliment on my review (If Pete Seeger. It
was very gratifying to see praise for my'
work from a well informed source.. . .
I also would like to ti\lin!tn~fTimm..el
for his illuminating, unbiase'd history of
Pete Seeger. These facts are to a folk
music fan truly illuminating, rather akin
to lighting a match in a 500 acre field at
high noon on a cloudless day.
I arrl' very sorry that my last review was
MIS-interpreted as a political statement
which I had no intention of making in a
review~ I had no idea that the sentiments
expressed could be thought of as Un­American.
I did not think that the K.K.K.
had been made defender of the American
way of life no matter what form this way
of life takes. I also assumed that the
connotation of patriot in Quotes was clear
especially to the Well informed. Mr.
Timmel claims that my. last paragraph is
the one that disturbs him. I place it here so
that those who, as I am are uninformed may
see the vile thing and get the facts.
, "All. tOld, IT is a good collection of
modern topical songs. IT may seem a bit
leftist at times but I don't think IT is too
far left. A word of warning though, if you
get the record play IT with the windows
closed. A "patriot" ofthe right or a'K.K.K.
man is liable to shoot you right through
the, record player."
I fail to see any clear inference of fool,
bigot, or non-patriot here. r gave those
words up when I learned that the wrong
people USUally get the name, I also fail
to see the name of Pete Seeger in this
Paragraph. If Mr. Timmel iS50 interested
in the facts it seems to me that he could
'have looked at the album and seen the
titles of the songs which prompted my
last sentence instead'" of condemning, a
man's talent on the basis of his, politics.
Mr. Seeger's affiliations maybe regretted
but I think that extremism in the opposite
direction is just as dangerous. In Mr. Tim..;
mel's words, let us hope that in the future
he reads what is printed, not what he'
thinks is there.
Paquette and Dick Westall, two
talented juniors, will complete
the Stags' double duos.
This tournament, sponsored by
the Eastern Lawn Tennis Af5so­clation,
will bring to conclusion
the indoor tennis circuit hich be­gan
last October. It is the first
indoor tourney the Stag netmen
have ever entered and hopes are
high for a good showing since Fr.
Ring's team has been practicing
all winter on the Westport court.
The tournament will run for
four days, March 5th-March 8th,
and will be ~opeI:l to the public.
Mr. Lupton's basic premise, as he ad­mitted,
is that government is a necessary
evil. This is perhaps the greatest under­lying
fallacy Of Conservatism, going along
with the corrupt nature of man outlook,
which was refuted for one by Thomas
Aquinas.
I could bring up many other points the
very personable, but errant, Mr. Lupton
diSCUSSed, but I would fill your entire
page. My only plea to the students of
Fairfield is that they inform themselves
more fully before swallowing the all-too­attractive
and simple doctrine of the
conservative. So many of us, -even Catho­lics
who should have some sense of so­cial
justice ,as,~u.g1!tmost recentl~ qy
At this point I only wished that Mr.
Lupton had been with me earlier that
afternoon in a certain section of Bridge­port,
where one can see the effects of
poverty and prejudice and ignorance. But
no, the self-made man has trouble sym­pathizing
with the victims of his society.
To The Editor: .
Last Thursday Mr. John Lupton, a very
influential and rising personality' in the
Connecticut Republican Party, came to
speak at Fairfield. Although not a great
number of our students came to hear him,
I feel that as an officer" 0f a campus
political club it is my dUty to bring to
light and to contend with some of the
grosser conservative misconce~tions
which h~s talk may have fostered, since
unfortunately many college students who
only casually follow politics are attracted
by the ego-inflating, individualistic argu­ments
of Conservatism.
Y-Dem On Lupton
On more specific points Mr. Luptonde­cried
government interference with busi­ness,
implying that this was the major
cause for unemployment (here he also
implied the amazing premise that the
Republican Party is the friend of the .
working man, something that every la-
'borer- who suffered through the depres­sion
Will, no dOUbt, be expected to verify).
Yet when questioned he denied that his
philosophy is, "what's good for business
is good for the country." Asked how his
viewpoint squared With the social injus­tices
at the turn of the century, or more
important, what are the present-day so­cial
responsibilities of business and/or
government, he completely side-stepped
the question. Instead he espoused the
Goldwater view that there are plenty of
jobs for the unemployed, who are only too
lazy and dishonest to take advantage of
them.

selms' have been all but 'put on
ice by Stan's baffling defensive
skill. In many games, when the
offensive power of· the team
fizzles iIi a cold spell and with
the opposition taking advantage of
the slackness, Stan comes
through with a blocked-pass or a
clutch steal - the spark that ig­nites
the explosive offensive.
This agile ball-hawk consistently
frustrates the competition with
his lightning-like moves. With his
adept .defensive sk111 being what ­it
is, his average of 12 points
per game seems unbelievable
when on stops and realizes that
it is' Stan who is called upon to
halt the "big man" of the ad­versary.
This easy-going, natural ath­lete
has the proficiency and lead­ership
qualities that it takes to
lead a team to the top.. We at
Fairfield, recognize and respect
this gift in Stan and look ahead
with anticipation for more Stag
victories.
Stan thinks that a polished
fast-break plus a good defense,
with emphasis on rebounding, are
two requisites for a winning team.
These have been coming, es­pecially
of late, and if recent
games are any indication, the re­maining
contests on the season's
slate should be one win followed
by another. "Our team has the of­fensive
strength to match any of
the opposition's. If our fast­break
develops a bit more and our
defense stays tight, we'll win."
With 'management as his major,
Stan is enrolled in. the B.B.A.
course. .

STAGS TOP YESHIVA
As this edition of the STAG
went to print, we received the
report of Monday night's game
with Yeshiva.
In the Varsity' conies·t,. the
Stags, led by the fantastic shoot­ing
of Mike Branch, who was the·
high man with 30 pointS, started
slowly and then rolled to an easy·
twenty point victory. Yeshiva
started the game by opening up a
6~0 lead before the Stags got down
to business. The Bisaccamen led '
39-24 at the half with Mike Branch
personally. accounting for 16
points.
In the second half practically
everyone got into' the' scoring
column as the Stags coasted to a
89-69 win. Pat Burke was the
second high Stag scorer with 18.
High for Yeshiva was Art Aaron
with 24 pOints.

Leaders are starting to emerge
in both leagues as we reach the
half way mark in the' 1964 season.
In recent action Costello' has
taken the lead in the Jr.-Sr.
division while Wilkos and Della
Bitta have been battling for first
place in the Frosh.-Soph. divi­sion.
Kevin Gately and his boys fi­nally
won their first tussle bear­ing
the Hapless Haughey team
58 to 51. Gately andtI~u$heyhave
a fierce battle brewing for the
last spot in the league. Nobody
seems to be able to touch Cos­tello,
he has rolled over every
team in the league. Some ex­perts
think thattf ,he didn't he.ve
Robinson, Cunningham, Orlando,
McGuirt, and McNeeley he would
be a pUSh-over.
In the Frosh.-Soph.' League,
Della Bitta has been rolling over
opponents with extraordinary
consistency while Wilkos has re­ceived
the same benefits (perfect
record) with a bit more difficulty,
he wins by one or two points
instead of ten or twelve, (he's a
real sport about it).

fight (although, since this will be
read after the fight, this re-
,porter is' stepping out on the
proverbial limb). The, fact that it
·is a mismatch leads into the'
second facet of our modern phe-
· nomenon.
How can they get the people to
pay to watch the fight if its such
a mismatch? Clay's bantering and
Liston's glare have filled some
seats. Their mock fights at the
airports and in Liston's training
· camps brought in a few more
"fans". So they were left with the
problem of those people who
wanted to pay to see the fight
on closed-circuit television in
the theaters, but were afraid to
risk another one round resin
party and so we;re planning to
stay at home. They worked to
·overcome this by having several
ex-champs say in the papers that.
if the fight goes so far, Clay will
win, or that Clay is better than
everyone thinks etc" Then, they
have articles written up telling
how Liston can be beaten and that
·Clay has just the style to beat
him with. They tell how Machen
gave Liston fits and Marty Mar­shall
beat him and broke his jaw
and how he's really closer to 40
than to 30 and pretty soon the
· guy that was going to stay home
and catch the fight on the radio
starts thinking that maybe he
better not miss this one. Its like
going to a mixer.. yo,!.~~~ys tell
yourself your missing something
· if YOU~'don't go and when you get
there xO'u dance With Sonny Liston.
-. ~tLli 1. 1:J '.. .A • _~
In the end; tlie guy goes and
pays his five bucks and starts a
riot when the fight ens quick and
screams how he was robbed.
Meanwhile, Clay and Liston take
a shower and go have a beer.
while they count the ~oney.
- You're .reading -this after the
fight. If Liston beat him, it was
expected, if Clay won, he's prob­ably
still talking and either way,
they're both about ready to hop on
down to the bank to see if your
money's ready.

When this column last ap-

the coming battle of the titans
in Miami Beach and picked Sonny
Liston as the most convincing
winner.' There are few indeed,

A heavyweight title fight is one
of the greatest spectacles sports
can .offfer. The ceremony of the
weigh-in, the reports fJ;om the
training camps, the secret work­outs
and the roar of the crow
when a telling punch is landed,
all capture the hearts and imagi­nation
of the sports fan. Lately,
however, the calibre of these
fights and the men in them have
been questionable. No one must
be told that Floyd Patterson and
Ingo Johannson were not Joe.

the advent of Sonny Liston as
champion, we had an opportunity
to see some fine contests such as
fights between Liston-and Harold
Johnson, Eddie Machen, Ernie
Terrell and even old stand-by.
Cleveland William~.
Instead, after demolishing Pat­terson,
Liston is now fighting
Cassius Clay. Why? This .is the
phenomenon of which we speak.'
Lots of people think Clay's an
idiot to get in the ring with Sonny, .
and Sonny may be one of them.
But Clay is nobody's fool and
neither are the Louisville busi­ness

The Fairfield Freshman team:
is on its way to braking two"
scoring records set by last year's
fabulous Frosh squad. The Young
Stags, having won 10 in a row,
since their loss to Seton llall, are
in a good position to surpass last
year's 17-4 mark. Jim Brown with
his 395 points should break Pat
Burke'.s 453 point record in the
Bridgeport game.
The Frosh have proven to be,
quite an offensive power and are
very effective with the fast break.
They have five men in double
figures - Jim Brown 23.1ppg.,.i
Charlie Phillips 19.1ppg., B1ll'
Pritz 12ppg., Pat Scully 10.3,
and Carl Menendez 10.2ppg. '
The Stag attack isengtneered
by the all aroJInd play of, Jim
Brown and the :deadly jump shot "
of Charlie Phillips. Bill Pritz,
besides his classy ball-handling
,and play-making, ha~ proven to be
very effective with his ability to
go either way (lefty or righty)
on his drives. Menedez has come
into his own of late With 22 and
21 point performances against
So. Connecticut and Assumption

fine defensive ball and shares
the rebounding chores with Brown

The first game after the se-mester
break was at C.C.N.Y.
During the first half the Sacco­nemen
seemed a little rusty as
they led by only 2 at the half.
However, the Stags came, alive in
the second half and won going

This past Saturday, Fairfield lost to Assumption
76-70 on our home court. The facts ofthat game are
known to everyone who was there and to some who
,were not. There were however, some other facts
,about that game that don't show up in box scores or
newspaper accounts. Those who were there are well
aware of what transpired off the court and most of
us were a part of it.
To begin wit.'1, it was an important game,' more
important for us perhaps, than it was for Assumption.
Right away, the fans were up for the game in a
similar way to that ,way a team gets up for a game.
Since we can't get out there and play, we mustbe
content with cheering, with backing the team vocally.
This game called for more noise than usual, but few
,were prepared for what was to come. '
Secondly, t.ile fact is that the officiating could
,ha\!'e. been better. More noise.
As the game started and we looked like we were
,going to take them, the Stag backers were. noisy but
not out of order. When frustration ,set in during
the second half, things ge>.t out of hand.
. ' .
The problem tha:t arises from thIS' is just where
do we draw the line?
_There's' nothing wrorig with cheering and a little
,good natured heckling and some refs do stink.
However, the language could stand being cleaned up
if for no other T(~ason than the fact that we have a
I mixed crowd. If a ref if:n't doing a good Job, we can
boo him or tell him but we don't think its accomplish­ing
anything. The age of reason is seven, it says here.
Tonight we have a game in Madison Square Garden.
It can do us a lot of good, publicity wise, and we hope
to nave a fine turnout. Every team loves to have a
" crowd behind them. But let's see the individuals in
the crowd draw the line for once. The so-called
crowd mentality is in reality a psychosis. Enough
said.
