tern. The time set for these elections
will be Oct. 27, 1949 from
nine o'clock until four. All students
are requested to report
to room 418, the "STAG" office,
during anyone of their free periods
to cast his ballot.
Photographs of the candidates
have been posted on a special
placard in the cafeteria in Xavier
Hall. Each student will have
a more definite idea of just
who the candidates for office
are.
Rallies are left to the discretion
of the individual candidates.
Mr. Cull has announced that his
committee will welcome the opportunity
to be of service to any
of the candidates. They want to
do all that is possible to make
the election a- success.
The members of the STAG
Staff would like to take the 'opportunity
at this time to congratulate
each of the candidates
and we extend a sincere "Good
Luck" to each and everyone.
May this election be the biggest
and most successful that Fairfield
has ever seen.

By Harold S. Black
From a recent interview with
Edward Cull, the Election Committee
Chairman,' it was learned
that nominations have been
made for seats on the Student
Council.' Of this number, thirteen
represent those chosen
from the Junior Class to run for
office while the remaining are
sophomores. The committee had
hoped to see greater response
from the student body. Because
of the presence of twelve vacancies,
a total of prospective
candidates from both classes
hardly seems sufficient. It seems
as though the old principle of
leading a horse to water but not
being able to make him drink,
certainly could be applied here.
As was announced in the last
issue of the "STAG" elections
will be conducted according to
the Australian secret ballot sys-

The Hop heads a series of
events which will make the
Junior year one long to be remembered.
Those attending will dance to
the music of Joey Salle and his
orchestr,a. Mr. Salle has been
featured at previous dances at
the University and an enjoyable
evening is assured :£01' all. Admission
to this informal dance
has been set ,at $1.50 per couple

from the ticket committee.
Plans have been made for
serving refreshments and an interesting

intermission time. Mystery
surrounds the event, 'and Mr.,
O'Connor would make little
comment when questioned as to
its character.
Since the' H9P has been designed
as "closed," Le., restricted
to members of the Junior

to attend and to make the evening

The Magazine Drive to procure
subscriptions for Curtis
Publications will commence on
Friday, October 21 and end on
Monday, November 7. This year
the Magazine Drive will be conducted
by each class. The profits
from the sale of the publications
(which should average about
40% of the gross) will be allotted
to the classes according to the
amount which they sell.
A prize will be awarded to
the student in the college who
sells the largest amount of Magazine
subscriptions. Prizes will
be awarded to the three students
in each class who sell the next
largest amounts of subscriptions.
Last year with very little organization
and even less cooperation,
a small number of
students were able to sell about
$1,000 dollars worth of Magazine'
subscriptions and, thereby enriched
the Student Council
Treasury by approximately $400.
This year the student will
have the opportunity of adding
money to his own Class Treasury
in order to help defray the
expenses which his class will
incur in the next few years.
As an example, let us suppose
that each student in the college
were to sell $10 worth of Magazines,
,about 2 subscriptions. The
gross amount of sales would be
about $7,000 dollars. That in

Mr. Robert Noonan di'rector of le.r 0 r .r rl ay .L' Ig
, the Orcutt Boys' Club, was ap-pointed
the new, basketball Dance Is For
coach for the commg season.
With practice now under way, Juniors Only
Coach Noonan has already
assumed his new position and is
currently "looking them over"
at the Orcutt gym.
The new mentor is a resident
of Bridgeport, and except for
his time spent in the Navy, he
has never left the Park City. He
attended Saint Charles Parochial
school and Harding High,
where he participated in varsity
basketball and baseball. He attended
William and Mary college
and holds a degree in Social
work from the University of
Bridgeport.
His record of coaching is very
impressive. In 1935, he began
his eareer tutoring the "Austins,"
an outstanding team in
this area before the war. His
reeord with numerous Boys'
Club teams is very successful.
The Orcutt Club has many
trophies which were won by
teams coached by Mr. Noonan.
Up until 1942, he was most
active in sports. The war cut
his basketball -career short.
However, the Navy found his
experience v,aluable and for a
season he was placed in charge
of the Newport Naval Base basketball
squad.
When he was dischar.ged, he
again resumed his coaching
duties. In 1944 and 1946, he led
the Orcutt Boys' Club to state

Advice to students:
ST. EDMOND OF CANTERBURY-
Study as if you were to
live forever; live as if you were
to die tomorrow.
ST. THOMAS OF AQUINAS:
-You should Clhoose to enter, not
straightaway into the ocean (of
knowledge), but by way of the
little streams; for difficult things
ought to be reached by way of
easy ones. I urge you to hesitate
before speaking. Hold fast
to the cleanliness of your conscience.
Do not cease from devoting
time to prayer. Avoid
aimless running about ab.ove all
things. Do not fail to follow in
the footsteps of the saints and
of sound men. Do not regard by
whom a thing is said, but certainly
what is said you should
commit to memory. What you
read, set about to understand,
verifying what is doubtful. Seek
not the things that are too high
for thee.

are many young people
who certainly have a taste for

more than the result of mental
restlessness and curiosity. Such
minds cannot fix their gaze on

on the other hand they profess
they do not like logic, they do

only means that they do not like

they shrink from the

By unanimous vote, the Student
Council passed a motion
to have all future Council meetings
open to the student body.
Introduced by President Edward
Flannery, the measure is intended
to have the members
work more conscientiously and
acquaint the student with the
procedure and method in Council
meetings.
Flannery also proposed a bill
which would suspend any member
from the Council if he was
absent two of any three consecutive
meetings. The suspension
would be effeoted on recall
by his class. The Council passed
the motion without opposition.
A third proposal by Flannery,
which was p;assed, stated "That
a Constitution Committee composed
of members from the
student body be appointed to
recommend and suggest changes
to the Constitution."
J. Edward McGrath was nominated
by the Sophomore Council
members to fill the vacancy
in the Sophomore Class. The
Council approved of the nomination
and voted his acceptance.
Junior Council member Robert
Al1ard was chosen Vice
President, pro-tem. His term of
office will las,t until the elections.
J ames Keating raised the
qu~tion of preparing for a
Year Book. Robert Allard proposed
that a faculty moderator
be chosen to organize a committee
to begin preliminary
work for a Year Book. His motion
was carried by unanimous
vote.
Council Treasurer Harry Costello
suggested that all clubs be
allowed to keep all proceeds
from their social affairs. Costello's
reason was that the organizations
would have their
own working capital and in
that way reduce the volume of
work olaced on the Council.
No foimal motion was made
since further consideration must
still be considered.
Francis DiScala asked the
Council to form a committee to
investigate the posstbilities of a
formal baseball team for intercollegiate
competition. Those
present at the meeting were.
Robert Allard, James Conklin,

turn would net the students
about $2,800 (approx. 400/0
gross). Now if this money were
used, for instance, to help pay
cost of Year Books, each student
would save about $4.00 ($2,800
-+- $700)!
Therefore, by selling magazine
SUbscriptions the individual student
will be contributing to his
college, to his Class, and, in the
long run, to himself.

Pass The Salt
By Da.oe Cunningham
Prior to a second bout with
the laws of Logic last week, we
dropped our books in class, and
hurried off to that little closet
playfully lettered "Men." The
law allows only five minutes between
classes, gentlemen, and
anyone who can get in and out
of that second floor "lounge" in
less time than that is either a
magician or ,a midget. It isn't
the haze that is so bad, although
it could stand in for a San Francisco
fog any day, it is the utter
indifference exhibited by all and
sundry. (After all, my friends,
four cups of coffee is four cups
of coffee.)
We spied our friend, Joe the
Janitor, huddled in a corner,
looking both disgusted and a
trifle piqued. Probably he had
failed to hear the thundering
herd approaching, and, with the
only other exit a windaw, had
found himself trapped. At least,
he had air in his corner.
A rather timely suggestion
was put forth by a cafeteri<a
habitue only a day or so ago,
concerning Hallowe'en. What
with the price of broom-sticks
these days, he thought perhaps a
hayride could be arranged by
some of the Juniors. Every.body
could meet here at the school,
dance from eight o'clock until
ten at Berchmans Hall, and then
climb aboard the wagon for a
ride in the crisp autumn air.
The wagons would return to
Berchmans Hall at midnight Qf
shortly thereafter. Of course,
cider and doughnuts would be
included. The cost of the entire
evening, including the dance, refreshments
and hayride, is estimated
,at $2.50 per couple. An
excellent idea with distinct possibilities,
lacking only official
approval. How about it, Juniors?
In case anyone is interested
the author's name is
Blanc, Mr. Blanc to his intimate
associates.
It happened last week in "Ed.
Psych." Dr. Rogalin, concluding
his lecture, asked the usual:
"Are there any questions?" to
which he reecived the usual
mumble in reply. "Then," he
continued, "you will all be
happy to know that we have
just completed the most difficult
part of the course." Suddenly
losing his taste for Differential
Equations, a student in the rear
moaned, with just a hint of
despair in his voice, "Good
grief! I wasn't even listening."

Capability vs. Friendship
A problem is about to confront the Sophomores and
Juniors-the problem of selecting Student Council
members for the school year. The rapidly approaching
election will place every student under serious obligation
to vote wisely for Council members, for the decisions
handed down by the Council will affect the entire
student body.
Consider, momentarily, our national elections.
Here again, every person is under the obligation to
choose our President and Congressmen wisely. It.is
readily apparent that the legisl'ation which they pass
will influence the welfare of not only ourselves, but our
families and friends. Our leaders are comparable to a
ship's navigators. If the ship is handled wisely, it will
avoid the rocks and arrive unscathed at its destination.
Ignorant hands upon the ship's steering apparatus, however,
foretell of impending disaster.
The elections here at Fairfield University are parallel
to national elections. Every student has the obligation
to s'elect good Council members-an obligation impossible
to fulfill if the students vote subjectively rather
than objectively. If "popularity" becomes confused
with "capability" and "friendship" becomes confused
with "sense of responsibility" then most assuredly will
the "ship" encounter disaster. If individuals maintain
absolute objectivity, however, the "ship" will arrive
safely at its destination," for the sincere and capable will
be elevated to office, while the sincere yet incapable are
excluded.
This raises the question: What should we look for in
a prospective Coun~il member? As one authority on
governmental structures so appropriately stated, "the
mind of the politician is a social laboratory." The mind
of the politician, comparable to a railroad terminal, re-o
ceives all incoming opinion, whether it be majority or
, minority opinion. And from this varying opinion which
is analyzed completely in his mind, the politician extracts
the morally sound and benevolent ideas. From
this synthesis, our national and state laws are derived.
Well may the mind of a politician be 'designated as a
"laboratoMT " ~ .... ' " '" i ,:.i1' ~ ,r ",'- ~J. " , " .~ C, 'i,oLi_
An illustrative example of the perfect politician is
Theodore Roosevelt. His greatness lay in his capacity
. to listen to half a dozen differing views on a specific
. problem though he lacked thorough compr~hension of
the problem at the beginning of the discussion. When
the experts were through, he would extract the practical
ideas and incorporate them into future laws. The result
. -prosperity in America for the first time in a genera-tion.
"I ~ .. '.
It is apparent, therefore, the qualities which should
be manifested in a candidate. We need only remember,
that there is no room for "glory boys" on the Council,
but there is ample space for "representatives of the
student body."

The first meeting of the Fairfield

Rev. Gabriel Ryan, S.J., was
held several weeks ago in room
106, Xavier Hall. At this
meeting, John Reynaud, Stamford,

elected include vice president,
Al Bown; secretary, John

Mr. Reynaud succeeds Michael

This address' was followed by
James Keating's talk on the internal

William Heagney's talk on the

will be forever fabled and storied
here as "The Day the Girls
Came." For on that day, during
the fourth period, two attractive
young damsels appeared
in the cafeteria. They had
penetrated to the very core of
the campus. Their advent gave
rise to a momentary, stunned
paralysis and a period of unbelieving
awe, broken finally by a
solitary, ungentlemanly whistle.
This, however, was of the low,
discreet and eloquent variety
and can be condoned under the
circumstances. Your alert reporter
alone was not bereft of
his wits. He merely choked on
his lunch, abandoned it, sharpened
a pencil and set forth to
meet the apparition.
No mirage this: Two live,
smiling girls. They had names;
they were Patty Ciaccia of
Westport and Dee Dattelic of
Norwalk. They had come here
to see in flesh and stone this renowned
seat of learning, known
as F'airfield University, and
what they saw was a wonder
and a delight.
First, they were pleasantly
surprised at our warm hospitality
from faculty and students,
and grateful for the general welcome.
They found the school
and campus beautiful, and were
surprised to find stares and
whistles in such a pLace as this.
Your reporter, receiving their
compliments on behalf of his
fellow students, was distressed
at this until he discovered that
they were talking about the
Prep School.
They are both high school
girls, attending school in their
respective home towns. Patty,
a sophomore, disclosed a general
intention of becoming a
"career woman," but had not
decided on a specific career.
Dee intends to enter secretarial
school (she's now a senior) but
hopes that it will not be too long
before she can marry and make
a home. Presumably Patty will
make a similar decision later.
Patty is especially interested
in sports. Asked whether they
would like to see F,airfield become
co-ed, they emphatically
declared that they want it to
stay just as it is. They commented
very enthusiastically on
the way the University's men
looked. "Much nicer," they said,
"than male students in other
colleges." They laid this to the
way we were dressed.
On the whole Fairfield made
a fine impression on Patty and
Dee. They hope we'll s,tay gentlemanly,
courteous and cultured,
and think it would be a
shame if we let anything ever
change us.

titles. This team later became
the Harding High varsity in
1947. As Connecticut sports enthusiasts
will recall, this team
won the State Interscholastic
title.
His notable achievements also
include his direction of the Little
League Baseball team which
finished third in the nation last
summer. I~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coach Noonan is an advocate Ii
of a "running team," or as it is
more commonly called a "fastbreaking
outfit." This means, of
course, that Fairfield will stress
the offense game based around
a figure eight. This system is
very popular and is considered
one of the finest in the country.
He hopes to field both a varsity
,and junior varsity team if
enough candidates report.
His record stands impressively,
to say the least. If it should
continue, prospects for a successful
team look encouraging.
We sincerely wish Coach
Noonan the best of luck and
assure him that the students of
Fairfield University will cheer
him and his team.

With the odor of the new
mown hay in the background,
the 1949 Introa-Mural season begiIfS.
The freshmen, sophomores
and juniors are represented by
four teams apiece. The struggle
of the three classes for campus
supremacy should add a little
color and excitement to the
school year. Already claims are
being made, the question of
who is champ will be settled
only with the final playoffs, and
perhaps not even then.
Reverend Gerald Kinsella,
S.J., director of this year's activity,
has a full season mapped
out. When the touch-football
champs of each class have been
determined, the winning team
of each class will vie for the
campus crown. These games
will be played on Alumni Field.
All other regu1ar season games
will be staged in the open field
behind the basketball courts. It
is highly probable that an award
will be made to each member
of the challllpionship team.
Basketball will follQIW foot"
ball, and will take the form of
a tournament. There will ,also
be volleyball on the center
court.
Details on both these activities
will be announced soon. Early
in the year, the open field bevond
the basketball courts will
be leveled, planted and laid out
for a softball field. In other
words, there will be ample opportunity
for all who are interested
in sports to participate.
A large number of students
are expected to enter one of the
programs. If you have not signed
up as yet, do so today. Lockers
and competition will be provided
for all.
