Festival Brunch·
:SEN. T~ -DOnn, (D-CONN)
Sen. Dodd has favored strlct'
foreign relations with Russia,
yet he did vote for President I
Kennedy's Nuclear Test Ban
Treaty. Domestically, Senator
Dodd has favored labor's position
in Senate debates and is also a·
staunch supporter of the Civil.
Rights Bill now pending in Con- '
gress. His varied position on
key issues has earned him the
label of a controversial Senator.
·The Senior Senator from Conn­ecticut
received his Ph.D. from
Providence College and his LLB
from Yale Law Schoo!. After
that he received his LLD. from
Rollins College.
Senator' Dodd has served his
country in numerous capacities.·
. He has performed various func­tions
for the Justice Department
and Department of the Interior.
After World War II, he was the:
Chief Trial Assistant to Robert ,
H. Jackson in Nuremberg.
From 1953::.-Q7 Mr. Dodd was :
the representative from the First'
Congressional District. In 1959
the Senator made his bid for the
U. S. Senate and has retained
his seat since then. .
The Mass will begin at 10: 30
and a catered brunch will follow
in Berchman's hall (with the Sen­ator
as speaker).

to having everyone attend
as many events as possible.
For Seniors and their dates
the long weekend begins Thurs­day,
June 4, at the Longshore
Country Club with a Formal
Dance featuring the livelyband of'
Si Zenter, one of the biggest·'
names in the dance band field•
Remembered by pop music list­,.
ners for his recording on the
Liberty label of "Up A Lazy
River" Zenter has been asso­ciated
with the big band sound
since 1939 when he played lead
trombone for Les Brown.
Through the years he has been
featured with Harry James, Billy
May, Artie Shaw, Glen Gray and
Woody Herman. Today his own
band . retains that distinctively
danceable big band sound blended
with Zenter's ownbrand offresh­ness.
For dancing and listening
th~ __~vening promises to be the
most successful in Ule-Iifstory of
the annual Senior Weeks.
Friday night makes use of a
popular new idea on campus:
.that is the beach party by star­light
until the early hours of the

. CBerdayaev's concept of the'
world is that its progression is
in three different stages. The
first was the wholeness of Para­dise
the second and present one
-is that we are works of the ob­jectified
wO!ld. The final stage
is that of super-conscious whole­ness
beyond good and evil and a
freedom of the spirit.
In short, his central theme is
of man's freedom in the objecti­fied
world.

country, they're the beginnings of a profes­sion

Professor Phillips stated that
man gains little certainty from
Existential philosophy, and that'
its emphasis is on thE) subject
rather than the object.
"Berdayaey
Nicholas Berdayaev was
"brought up in a middle-class at­mosphere
without religious in­fluence.
His life was one o~
rebellion. The Czarist govern­ment
sent him to exile in Siberia, '
but the only lesson he learned,
there was the one taught by the
Socialists. In 1900 he pUblished·
his first book, and later joined
the Russian Orthodox church with
the purpose of fighting its reac­tionary
tendencies.
When the Bolsheviks took over,
the "Mystical Anarchist" wasn't
appreciated, and he was exiled
from his beloved Russia. He first
went to Berlin, and then.to Paris.
All his subsequent tracl:s were
written in French.
His works are written in a
non-systematic, brightly dis­organized
fashion. Classified
as a "Personalist," Berdayaev
stresses the importance of free­dom
and the free spirit. His
'works are not abstract, as op­posed
to the philosophy of HegeL
He had a tremendous sense
of the value of the person, as
witnessed in his statement that

Berdyaev's Existentialism
Aired By ~rof. Phillips
THE STAG
The aspects of Nicholas Ber­da"
yaev's Existentialism was the,
topic of Professor Rilla Phil­lips'
Bellarmine lecture 0:1 April
6•
In the first part of the lecture,
Miss Phillips gave background
on the existential movement and
its ideas. "It is an Occidental
phenomenon. Some people have
linked its thought with that of
Zen~Buddhism. In it nothing is
told to the person, rather some­thing
is elicited from him.
"For each Existentialist phil­osopher,
his deflnition is dif­ferent,
and his definition is his
philosophy. Existential ques­tions
for one person may not be
for another. The subjective man­ner
of approach is what sets off
existentialism.
"Many people saythat ExIsten­tialism
is anti-science. Instead,
it is a ddfense of science in its
proper postion. It is against
scientism, against an idolatrism
toward science. Human reality
and knowing must go outside of
the scientific field.
"Existentialism tries to find
another meditation of human
problems. 'It admits present
methods of knowing, but opens
up other avenues. Man requires
another authority than science
to enlighten us about problems
which it cannot answer itself.",
Right now, graduation seems way off in the
wild blue yonder. But it's not too early to start
planning. In the future, you'll look back on
decisions you make today with satisfaction ...
:or regret.
What can an Air Force career mean to you in
tangible gain? The opportunity to take on ex,
ecutive responsibilities you might otherwise
wait years to attain. And a head-start into one
of a wide range of possible careers in the

new emphasis should show the
student the possibilities in the
field of Biology." '
The Biology Department, he
thinks, is much improved since
he graduated. "New courses, and
the opportunity to take all ne­cessary
courses are now avail-
. able. With the new bUilding the
cramped and sometimes incon­yeJUent
conditions will be
alleViated."
One of the things Dr. Klimas
wonders about is the empty park­ing
lot in front of the dorms on
weekends. "The weekend is a
time when students can catch up
on their stUdies, but it seems
, many students are just gone." ,
Dr. Klimas also took the op­portunity
to discuss a condition
that disturbs him, cheating.'
"This simply reflects the im­maturity
of the stUdents." He
remembers the time when he was
here, a time when there were
many veterans, and the students
took care of the problem them­selves,
straightening out anyone
who had gone astray. "Aneduca­tion
is an investment in time'
and money. If one figures the
money spent in tutition and board,
and the money that could be
earned by working four years, it
amounts to about $25,000. To have
this jeopardized by some cheater
is fantastic, and doing something
about cheating protects ones in­vestment."
He thinks a good
teacher can stop a lot of it, and
he remembers one of his profes-sors
saying "a good proctor
keeps an honest man honest...
He thinks that the University
has tremendous potential, and
thinks that this is reflected in the
number of young~r men on the
faculty. "The teachers here have
a great deal of freedom, which
is conducive to work." Looking
back to when he graduated Dr.
Klimas said that the growth has
been tremendoUS, and he hopes it
will keep pn.

When asked about the placing

Florida for flight train­ing.
OCC's remain at Quantico
for further training.
The visiting officer selection
team will furnish full details on
these programs furing their visit, .
including eligibility require­ments
and how to initiate appli­cations.

school. He is a member of the
physics club and the honors pro­gram
in math which is a .free
(and very difficult) course in ad­vanced
math.

Another first for Fairfield University was brought in last week
by John Horvath '64. The government of Germany awarded the
Woodrow Wilson winner a grant which enables him to study language
.and literature at a German university.
Described as ,a "good grant," it covers complete transportation,
tuition, r.oom and board plus a $100 per month stipend. The value,
no includin~ transportation is $2,000. Although this offer is in­viting,
John has been advised to accept the Woodrow Wilson endow­ment
because it carries much . - ,_.
more prestige in the U.S. than
the German grant. However,
the German scholarship offers
the advantage of study in a
foreign country. It is expected
that he will accept the first
allowance and ask the German
government to postopone his
stUdy there until the following
year, since his <;hances for.

good after completing the Wil­son

The recognition from Germany
is considered rare not only here
at Fairfield, but many teachers

it simply by saying that

are spent during the day, during the
evening' and late night determining
policies, filling out forms, running

explaining your action or position on
such and such a matter. Anyone who
has taken active part in any major
activity on campus knows what a
gruelling experience it can be, and
just how much time-budgeting it re­quires.
Such activity is always fruit­ful;
often harrowing. The editors of

of the Constitution. Perliaps, too,
another result of this, was the relative
indolence of the students on the sub­ject.
39 of the 700 questionnaires
released last week were answered.
Figures of this sort are not, of
course, inaccurate. It is interest­ing
that' the questionnaires stirred
very little conversation and leaves us
with the feeling that perhaps no one
really cares or knows enough to take
part in discussion.
The voting procedure, the various
reports made to classes on the sub­ject,
the failure to compose a disci­plinary
code, and the aura of confu­sion
surrounding the meetings have
all come under attack from various
students. It appears to be a 'document
with a thousand antagonisms attach­ed
to it, and one not worthy of vote.
Yet, overlooking all of this: Isn't
the constitution a good idea? That
is, if it proved itself workable under'
the circumstances of Fairfield Univer­sity
wouldn't this make a ratification
worthwhile?
These questions shift the emphasis
of the problem from the document
itself to another, and perhaps more
important area. Consider a situation:
the question on tomorrow's ballot is
changed from a query as to your
stand on merit of the three branch
government to another question that
might run : "Would you be willing
to serve as a student government
representative next year in our three­branch
system?" An affirmative an­swer
would involve you in upwards
FINlsTER RETURNS
(From a piece of junk mail foisted on the
"Student Body") Father Rector merely
allowed students the privilage of voting on
the constitution. But then, by this time
we all know that the Student Council
doesn't mow - or refuses to recognize
- its ear from its elbow.
Fairfield needs a constitution and it will
be a shame to see this one rejected be­cause
of the call 0 us and inexcusable
stupidities it contains. It should be with­drawn
and reVised.
A DECISION
Dear Sir:
Much ado has been raised about the
proposed Constitution and the manner
of its presentation to the Student Body.
This writer in a previous letter to the
Stag condemned the Council for the meth­od
of its ratification. Voices have been
heard throughQ..ut the school taking issue
with various sections of the proposed
document. And perhaps these objections
are well taken.
But the fact that we do not have the
best Constitution is irrelevant at the
present time. We are not voting whether
or not we have the perfect body of law.
Rather, we are voting to determine wheth­er
we feel the proposed Constitution is
superior to the status quo.
If we· vote now and reject it we must
reconcile ourselves to at least another
year of impotent Student government.
If we vote yes, maybe we won't have
the best possible setup but at least we
will have one with considerable poten­tial.
The choice in actuality is not between
two constitutions as some would have us
believe, but between the status quo and a
formal type of student government.

VOTE TOMORROW
'Eiluoriai Cpmmentary '"
PAGE 4
Tomorrow, whether or not we,
, realize it, is a pivotal date in student
history at Fairfield.
Much discussion and little activity
has surrounded the relatively quiet
case of the Student Council Consti­tution.
Everyone seems willing to
talk about it, but few have carried
formal objections to the Council, or
offered a concrete list of its advan-
, tages. All this, blended with a series
of chaotic meetings and reports, adds
up to unconsciousness as to what is
happening.
The STAG, due to distortion in
communication and poor news handl­ing,
t.wice printed reports that one
administrator and the Rector had ap­proved
the Constitution. What these
men approve, in reality, is the election
in which students will decide for
themselves what merit the Constitu­tion
,may have. Although these men
like the document and understand the
desire for a change, they are not irre­vocably
certain that it can be well
handled. This is a vital point because
it could lead to a discovery ,that it is
perhaps too early for a vote.
In the past articles and editorials
printed on these pages have been in­tended
to report what actually went
on at Student Council meetings and
to i'nterpreot those actions in the light
of the confusion which surrounded
.them. The result of this' was that
the Counci>l took up a defensive posi­tion
and failed to see suggestions in
the proper manner; taking them
rather as atta~ks upon the validity
.A LIST OF ERRORS
To The Editor:
The constitution proposed for approval
on Thursday, April 16, as published inthe
March 11, 1964 STAG, iseasiiy the most
ill conceived and ineptly executed docu­ments
I have ever seen. It is unworthy of
a pedagogical chickencoop, much less "the
college of arts and sciences." The follow­ing
list of errors, problems, omissions,
and general stupidities should make this
eminently clear even to the fecuned minds
of the Student Council.
1. The vice presidentc;m never become
president. The president MUST be a
SENIOR and the vice president MUST be
a JUNIOR.
2. There is no provision for ,an annual
election. If an election is held, the con­stitution
provides that it must be held in
April or May - but there is nothing say­ing
that an election must be held. Con­sequently,
if the officers decide not to hold
an election, they can stay in power even,
unto death.
3. The number of representatives a class
can have is based on the number of stu,­dents
it had in its freshman year rather
than the number of students it actually has.
4. The first election would be entirely
controlled by the Student Council (Bless
their dear, little apron strings).
5. The follOWing terms are used fre­quen'tIy
but left undefined: " social •••
actiVity," "major .... activity," "minor
••• activity," "cardinal ••• activity,"" As­sociation,"
"Student Association" (an or­ganization
surely distinct from the "stu­dent
Body" which' is called the "electo­rate"
-, unless, perhaps, the "Student
Association" and the "Student Body" are
really the same, thing. I don't know and
neither, I suspect, does the Student Coun­cil.),
"student community," and to nicely
top this semantic miasma "Diciplinary
Code."
6. ALL clubs (excepting, of course, the
Sodality) including the elusive and secre­tive
Knights of Columbus must -submit
signed statements' of activities and fi­nances.
(I've a;!ways wondered what,they
did for their Third Degree.)
7. "Fully enrolled" students are men­tioned.
Either you are enrolled (absolutely
and unequivicaily) or you are not.
8. There is no clear statement that
the Student Government receives its
powers, rights, and duties, from the stu­,
dents - if indeed it does.
9. Finally, the President of Fairfield
University NEVER approved th~sconsti­tution
despite the Student Council's hopeful
statement, "During the Easter vacation
Father Rector officially approved the pro­posed
form of the Student Gover!1~en!-"

Let Silence Speak
Last issue's PATCH pleaded with the Student Council not to offer
us the poor alternatives of either approving a bureaucracy, or settl­ing
for our inadequate'government of the present. These pleas were
ignored.
The Council acted even more incompetently than usual. It even
acted illegally in one of the greatest fiascof? ever seen on the Fair­field
campus. Council members admitted that they had not even read
the, Constitution upon which they were voting thoroughly enough to
answer objections to it. Only ahandfull ofofficers, four at most, have
any familiarity at all with the document, and even they aren't quite
sure what it means when questioned on certain points.
Despite all this, Ule Constitution has gone through the designated
channels, and will be voted Qnby the. students tomorrow. Thus the
student who wants to vote intelligently and in good faith is put on the
horns of a dilemma by his Council and its officers.
What counsel has the Onion Patch for its readers? I only know what
my own mind tells me. I cannot vote for a system that would re- ,
_quire a, minimum of 65 competent public servants, when we cannot'
even get 23 under the present system. I cannot condone the illegalities
of the Council by an affirmative vote. Nor can I say yes to ambiguity
and senseless verbiage. '
. Yet I cannot turn down a system which in Us basic conception is
far superior to our present form. I cannot say no to such things as an'
activities fee. I cannot condone our present system of non-government.
The solution? Thanks to the Student Council (and the lack of interest
to some extent by the Student Body) there is none - except not to vote.
Since we ar¢-:not given the proper choice in tomorrow's referendum
the only thing to do is ignore it. Thilj is an unhappy but necessary
alternative. I urge each student who hassirriilar feelings to follow
this course. ' , , '
In the final analysis, of course, y~uwill'have to read the Consti­tution
again and decide for yourself whether it would be wiser to vote
against it. M.aybe eyen' a few might favor it, despite everything.
If the Constitution should be approved, there is still a chance it may
work, but that will depend on the willingness of competent and dedi­cated
students to run for office. The' greater measure of a student'
government's success will come not fror! its form but from who is
running it, and what support he has from the students. Ifuie Con­stitution
should be approved, it is our duty not only to exist under it
but to lend it our every support. lf it is approved. ' . '
But ;tS for me, I won't be voting tomorrow. Will you?,
* * * I hope all the folks out Wisconsin way are proud of their vote fol' '
. Governor Wallace. But you can be assured that the resultS would
have been about the same here in Fairfield County, and evenif ~uch a
vote were taken at Fairfield University. A good many middle-income
Catholics figured in that vote too. Something we can all be proud ,of,
right? It's going to be a long, hot summer... '

NEWSWEEK of April 13 reports that Tufts University 'is gently
shaking Dr. Woodrow Wilson Sayre from its faculty. Dr. Sayre
is an assistant professor of philosophy, and if we are to judge by
.the student protests to this action by Tufts we must conclude that
he is 'just the kind of professor who should not be dismissed.
NEWSWEEK continues to say thal the reason for tbe whole affair
can be found in the old adage, "Publish or perisb." Dr. Sayre
has not pr~uced any visible material in his field, so out be goes.
He has not published so be will perish, and again it is of note
that the students. are in violent disagreement with this criterion
since they are the ones to best know the true value of a teacher
with who~ ,they have come into personal and intense contact.
Students are the most critical of every aspect of a professor's
worth, and they are the first to say that he is no good at all even
if an objective look might not be so extreme. So wben Tuft's
students rise 'up in protest against Dr. Sayre's heave hO it is more
than safe to assume that this is a man in whom they place a great ;
de~ . of worth. .Unfortunately student judgement is not in any
pOSItIon to determme the fate of their man, and I suppos.e one could
say that by the time the student reaches the heights'of administra­tive
post he has forgotten what a real teacher is. 'He now values
the pro~essor not by what goes on in the classroom and in the
minds of those there, but by what takes place outside of class and
how well he shows himself to be a so-called ~'scholar."
This story is only one example of the way professional education
today is slowly ruining the very finest that real education has to
offer. Education is a bigger business and more powerful a status
symbol than it has been since men began to learn things from other
m~n. The secondary and elementary systems in the United. states
are bad enough but higher education carries its own share of the
ridiculous. No one can teach unless he has first taken a plethora
of courses that tell him how to teach. When it comes right down
to it .these courses mean nothing because a man is a teacher or he
is ~ot. Teachers are born not made, and yet methods outweigh '
subject matter and today people walk into the classroom to convey
knowledge to others and inspire them to learn and tbey have nothing
or very little in their own heads. In the colleges no one is any
good unless he has had his, courses and degrees from tbe right
places, ha:s written a certain number of boOks, articles and so on.
The q.ueshon should be, what does he do with his students? And in
the fmal analysis, the students are tbe ones who know who can
"profess" and who cannot.
The whole of education, and this includes the majority of stu­dents
too, is hooked by the false doctrine of the departmental mind
and the p.ragmatic value {If knowing. This means that you can not
say anything ~~t, a subject outside of your field, unless you have
had courses m It, and the ultimate norm in judging any field of
,knOWledge, even the arts, is: what good is it, where will it get
,'me? People are ashameq of knowing,' something just for the sake
of knowing it, and so the colleges have become as they never
were before - more and more factories of instruction and of
skilled specialized training. '
: This subject defies exhaustion but I must limit myself within
the confines allowed by the rul~s of a newspaper. Tbe incident
of Dr. Sayre's release would not be of such note were it not for
,the reason. It is sad commentary that this is a mere example of
a good man fallen victim to the professional educators and I fear
that it is all too true, that as Dr. Sayre said "If socrates'were alive
today' the flame thing would happen to him.'"
Secondly, the student govern­ment
is so limited in its power
that the type of person who would
best be able to serve the needs
of his class and the student body
in general, frequently finds that
he can do more by serving in some
other capacity. One need only re­flect
on 'the fact that many classes
find it difficult to find a mini­mum
number of people willing to
be'come council members, to rea­'
lize that the council is not draw­ing
the best men that the school
has to offer.
the student body because it was
the complete student government;
the place where issues were not
only brought up, but settled with
finality. Once an issue was settled
,there was no reason for the mino­rity
to bring their views to the
student' body.
Finally, I feel that certain
faspects of. the constitution could
:Jje debated forever. If we, our­selves,
the individuals who will
be governed by the constitution,
live up 'to our responsiblity to '
,be informed, active, citizens of
the new government, then we have
nothing to fear from the consti­tution.
If it is imperfect, I have
enough respect for the student
bodies of later years to believe
that they win perfect it. In short
I don't believe that if I don't
make it absolutely perfect, no
one else will be able to., Isn't
it about time that we do some-thing
positive?

The pro­posed

far more sig­nificance
for­the'

than the mere assumption of addi­tional
administrative powers.
It represents a distinct rever­salon
the part ofthe Administra­tion
from unnecessary authori­tarianism'to
apparent considera­tion
for the natural prerogatives
of a college student body.
The task before the student
body is of equal profundity. To
date the student government's
own administrative record,
particularly of late, has been a
mediocre one. It is for us to meet
the responsiblities before us in a
manner worthy of them. ."'""".....l.'..n.r-'""o Caputo ' 67

arises: we must draw from our
ranks a comparatively large
'number of students - and dele­,

If Mr. Davison and his horde

be by students who can govern in­telligently.
Perhaps this fault lies more
with the Administration whose
previous policy of token student
government denied students this
valuable experience.

the new deep-sea amplifier that simultaneously transm'its
two-way messages. Both communications triumphs stem
from Bell System planning, research and development.
Such trailblazing projects command the best of
managerial and scientific talent lhat's why you'll find,
throughout the Bell System, men with college training as
diverse as the responsibilities they shoul~er. Their back­grounds
run the gamut from liberal arts and business
courses to science or specialized engineering majors.
Admittedly, the work is demanding. It requires that
unusual caliber of man who finds a greater satisfaction in
challenge than in ready solution ... who is eager to see his
education yield dividends ... who wants an immediate
opportunity for leadership.

.One Small 'Voice
"What am I doing here?"
How many times have we repeated to ourselves these words from
the black pit of depression ,and despair? How many times have we
wondered whether it is actually worth while continuing in· the face of
opposition which seems insurmountable? How many times, faced
with faih.re, have we turned to ourselves, taken a good look, and
given up?
I doubt very much that this frame of mind is foreign or unknown
to any.one of us. And at this time' especially, when we have received
the results of our first exams, when our dreams of glory and success
have vanished, and nothing appeaz;s on the horizon to give added­thrust;
when the thought of two long months of the same drudgery,
capped by the horrors of final exams, is the only thing we can see in
front of us, is it any wonder that we slip into 'a state of deep de­pression
and question, over and over again, the purpose of our very
existence.
Now is the time to take that deep look inside ourselves that I
spoke about in my last column and see just exactly what it is that
drives us forward. Now, more than at any other time, we must see
that force, at the very root of our being, that pushes us on, if there
is anything.
Let's look for a moment at the sentence that so, completely charac­terizes
our depression:,"What am I doing here?" What does that
sent'mce mean? Basically it establishes the exist-ence ofa subject
in ~. space-time relationship (I. .•Here). But there is, something
mort. There is a realization that I should be an active being. I
should be doing something. What?
·1 am here atscpool to learn, to .ad,vance in knowledge, 'so that I
may become a success in the world. That may be partly the answer,
but :t is not by any means the whole solution. I prefer to say that we
are .lere (at school, in soCietY,on earthfto "create'':.'rhis is our
basic drive; this is the only thing we Iive for. It is not only "to
know, love, and serve God etc." but it is to "create"; to take the
dirt of the earth in our hands and raise it uP, to make something out
of it. It is to grab matter and twist it into our image just as God .. '"
twisted it into His. WE ARE LITTLE GODS.
Then why failure? Maybe because we tend to· forget that we are
only little gods, and God has to remind us once in a while that we
can create only through His creation. He has to show us the proper
order of things, knock the wind out of us, and bring us back to our
senses. Maybe we fail because we lose touch with the infinite.
If this is so, then when we fall, instead of questioning our reason
,for existence, maybe we should question our motives. Let's look
around and see if we haven't failed because we lost touch with the
universe, if we haven't become too obsessed with our power. Then
'let's get up and try again, remembering that failure comes from
man, but success from God.

magnets nothing to" do
with his earnings except build
museums? That! seriously doubt.
He has stirred up a controversy
over his use of the term "mod­ern."
But basically he is ex­pressing
his likes and dislikes
when it comes to art. He feels
that too many pet>ple fearful of
being stigmatized "drab tradi-,
tionalists," have conformed to
the stark products of modern art.
Mr. Hartford is not pleased with.
what present day art has to offer
and he insists on referring to the
"remote past" (as some would
say) as "present" thereby full­filling
his definition of "mod­ern."
He feels so strongly about
this that he has spent $9 million
to prove it.
The quality of the art exhibited
is good but not great. Then again
the museum is new arid not fully
established. A true evaluation of
what Mr. Hartford has done for
the world of art will be of far
greater value in twenty years to
come. And who knows, the man
who has for so many years shaped
the American way of eating

men, each with his own foibles
and quirks. Some are even des-
'picable. Yet somehow Powers­gets
us to sympathize with them
all, and despite the biting criti­,
cism made, for example, of the
over-bearing pastor with whom
most Catholics seem to be fa­miliar,
there is no anti-cleri­calism
involved. The reader is
more likely <to come away with:
a greater sense of solidarity;
with these shepherds of the flock.
One very amusing and striking
feature of these s,tories is the
author's treatment of "B.C. L.s"
- Big Catholic Laymen. The hu­mor
and truth of these portraits
, is a work of art.
In his introduction to the book,
Peter DeVries disagrees with
Evelyn Waugh's salutation of'
Powers as a writer whose "whole
art is everywhere infused and di-
~rected by his Faith." This is in a
sense true. For Powers does not
write Catholic stories. He writes
stories that are about Catholics.
DeVries goes on to say, "Mr.
Waugh's embrace of the,Church
was literature's loss. Mr.
Powers' embrace of literature is
the Church's gain.'" From an
artistic standpoint, this is de­finite
ly true.
Powers, a practicing Catholic
with a wife and five children,
brings a new and deeply refresh­ing
viewpoint on the American
Catholic Church, so long depicted
. as cute, Irish, and superh.uman.
My only hope is that he won't
spoil a good thing by writing
the same story in his future
works.

'ENTERS THE ART-MARKET
When a museum or exhibition
of Art is first made available to
the public, that opinionated circle
,of art-goers discusses, eval­uates,
compares and disagrees on
,the quality of the collection. But
.'strange as it may seem the
'critic's columns dealing with
Huntington Hartford's new Gal­lery
of Modern Art have pri­marily
been occupied with its lack
of purpose and identity as a new
comer to the world of art, the
bold craftsmanship of its archi­tect
Edward Durell Stone and the
etymological difference of opin­ion
over the word "modern."
In the words of its director,
Carl J. Weinhardt, Jr., the func­tion
of the Gallery "is to re­explore
the art of the 19th and
20th centuries with what is hoped
will be an open and reasonably
fresh eye." Mr. Hartford shows
a vehement dislike for the so­called
modern-abstract art, sup­posedly
representative of the
present day, which has been per­meating
the art wold. Merriam
Webster, who for a good number
of years has been an authority on
'the art of proper communica-tion
comes to Mr. Hartford's
rescue by defining modern as
" ••pertaining . to the present or
recent period.; not remotely past;
not .ancient, antiquated or ob­solete:"
Obviously the two not
quite so famous but mammoth
paintings by Dali; the COOl, pic- .
turesque works of Gustave Dore
(Fr. 1852); the always masterful
Sargeant with his Portrait of
Mrs. Manson (Am. 1891); the en­tire
room of Sir Edward Burne­Jones
(Engl. 1833-1898) with his
mystifying portrayal of Perseus
including some chalk and gouache
on paper; and of course Pavel
Tchelitchew (1898-1957) whose'
works are now on total exhibit
including his famous Hide and
Seek, are not ancient, antiquated
or obsolete. So the question which
remains is: Does 19th and 20th
century art lie in the remote
past? And since this question is
in the realm of the subjective I
am afraid we have stumbled upon
a question with no universal
reply. '

The Meaning of the Wisconsin Primary
The entry of Governor Wallce of Alabama into the Wl,sconsin ,'
ilrtinary was greeted with universal disgust by the officials of Wis- .
'consin. Leaders of both major parties in Wisconsin, denounced his ,
candidacy. Prominent clergymen of the three major faiths issued
repudiations of the Wallace candidacy. Furthermore, Wallace was at a
distinct disadvantage in his Wiscons1I)., race. His pub,lic image was
anything but favorable due to his performance in Alabama, the fact that,
he was the head of a Southern state and his style of campaign and
speech, which, whi~ it may.hav~ some ap~al in Alabama, certainly
is not an asset in Wisconsin. Public doubts have been expressed of
his emotional and mental stlilillity due to his vacillations. Wisconsin
is a state where many of the provisions embodied in the Civil Rights
Bill have already been enacted 1rito law. There has been little orno
express~on of anti-Negrpsentimejlt in, the state and Wisconsin has
been the scene of little or nothinggr in the way of demonstationsJ
To wllat then may the fac~ ;that .Wallce received twenty~fo~,:
perce,nt of the Wisconsin vote be attribqted? Hubert Humphrey, Sena- ,
tor from the neighbouring state pJ Miqnesota, said that the Wallace·
showing was "supprisinglyweak" and that Wallace's campaign was a,
fiz·zle. Governor ReynoldSJof Wisconsin, Wallace's primary opponent,
who had said the day before the primary that if Wallace got more than
ten percent of the vote that the result would be "disastrous", said
that Wallace was a man of great charm and campaigning ability and,
that he had huge sums of money to Spend for television appearances
'and that it was quite natural that he should poll Such a large vote. Un­fortunately,
the Governor's contentions are lacking in proof. In
a state,'of the makeup ofWisconsin the charm which Wallace posseses,
(if, ~deed, he does possess any) would have little appeal to the
voters~ In such a deep north state as Wisconsin, Wallace's s,1yle is
more likely to lose than to gain votes~John Baily, National Chirman
of the Democrats, alleged that the Wallace success was the result of:

Republicans, for the first time Since 1948 haveoutpolled a Democrat

vote to the efforts of the' radical' ri~ht'.
'These commentators seem to,be fgnoring a much more reasonable
and plausible explanation. In the politcally realistic, State. of Wis­consin,
no one seriously, believes that 'Wallace has any chance of

resented 'a voter protest against first, certain sections of the Civil
Rights Act and second, some of the more extreme tactics employed
in recent civil rights demonstrations. This verypossib1l1tyhas been
trOUbling Democratic leaders of late - the possibility of a: Northern
protest against extreme Negro demands. This protest takes two forms:,
First, the protest of white workers who feel their jobs threatened
by Negro demands for preferenWl1 treatment. Second, the protest
by parents over such progr:pns as bussing school children around to
achieve" arbitrary pecentages of each'race in each school. If such
sentiment exists in a state, like Wisconsin which has eXperienced
I relatiVely little racial strife, it may be more widespread than'
previously thought in other states, for example, New York. Partial
indicators may be such things as the mothers' march on City Hall

Shepherd S••n:
By FU'Fans,
Sen. Week
Jean Shepherd, philosopher,
wit, intellectual, egotist, and hu­morist
appeared last night in
Gonzaga Hall under the auspices ,
of New Frontiers.
Mr. Shepherd is heard on the
radio Monday through Friday on
WaR, and the New York Times,
has' credited him with being"one
of the most imaginative racon­teurs
in the history of radio".
He holds B.S. and M.S. Degrees
in Psychology, and has a great
interest in legitimate theatre. He
is the author of "The America
of George Ade" (Putman, 1961),
and has written for several pel'io- '
dicals, as "The Saturday Re-
,view," "Town and Country," and
"Metronome."
Concerning the purpose of his
radio program, he feels that
nothing is more entertaining than
ideas; and the basic philosphy,
behind his works is to present
ideas in the form of conversation
and drama. Perhaps the best way
to sum it up is to agree with one
of ,his critics in saying that" Jean
Shepherd is unique."

He compared the growth po­tential
here to a 'rock rolling
down the hill, gradually picking,
up momentum. Student' faculty
I relationships have been im­proved,
and this can be eVidencect
by the dialogue on the new stu-

Allen thinks that the school
needs more participation by 'thE!
students. "People here are in-,

they.don't participate in it. By
participating they find them­selves,
and make things all

THE SPOTLIGHT
Earlier this week, New York
City shook with the news that acE'
linebacker Sam Huff of the New
York Giants had been traded to
the Washington Redskins. Huff
joined tackle Dick Modzelewski
on the trading block as that old
Giant defensive unti came closer
to extinction and a new one took
root. Gone is Andy Robustelli
(now a Giant coaCh), gone is
Roosevelt Grier (to L.A. for
John LoVetere), gone is Mod­zelewski
(to Cleveland for Bobby
Crespino) and now Huff.
Basically, the trade is a good,
one for shrewdAllie Sherman who
seems to be seeking the best
balance of youth and experience
he can get.
Huff didn't have' very many
years left and he had been talk­ing
recently of retiremept. From
the Redskins, the Maramen picked
up Dick James who plays a good
game both on offense and defense,
who is one of the league's best
kick return artists, and who is an
amazingly resilient runner for his
182 pounds. Also picked up, was
Andy Stynch'ula, a 6'4" 2571bde­fensive
end who can also play de­fensive
tackle. Stynchula has al­ways
impressed the Giant staff
and he adds more' youth to" the
defensive unit. The final addi­tion
in the trade was next year's
fifth draft choice.
Sherman, Who intends moving
Jerry Hillebrand to Huff's va­cated
middle linebacker spot, now
points to a defenSive front four
consisting of Bob Taylor, Lane
Howell, Andy Stynchula, John Lo- ,
Vetere and Jim Katcavage. Kat­cavage
is the oldest of a very
,young, very tough group. Atline­backer,
the Gothamites have Tom
Scott, Jerry Hillebrand, Bill Win­ter
and Al Gursky. Scott is the
Oldest, but the other three are
possessed of tremendous poten­tial,
especially Hillebrand.
Sherman hasn't gotten a hold of
that big back yet, but he should
make that trade sQon enough. With

GERRY MAGNER IS
TENNIS CAPTAIN
T. Gerald Magner, Jr., a sen­ior
from Winnetka, Illinois, has
been elected captain of the Fair­field
Univeristy tennis team.
Magner will lead the Stag team
into action on April 9 when the
team opens the season against
Southern Connecticut College in
New Haven.
Magner has been playing tennis
since an early age and has been
coached by Magda Rurac, one of
nation's top pros. He is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. T. Gerald Mag­ner
of 6 Woodley Manor, Win­netka.
He has already distinguished
himself as one of the best tennis
players in Fairfield history. In
his first two years of varsity
play, the lanky Economics major
has complied an impressive 11-4
mark in singles competition.
Magner has been even more suc­cessful
in doubles play, combin­ing
with another senior, Walt
Donnelly, of Garden City, Long
Island. these two have won 20
of the 23 matches they've play­ed
in the last two years and are
considered one of the top doubles
teams in the East. As sopho­mores,
they captured the Doubles
championship of the -Rider In­vitational
Tournament and last
October they won the champion­ship
of the E.C.A.C. Tournament
played at Rider in New Jersey,
sweeping through matches with
_ the doubles teams of Vermont,
Lehigh and Lafayette.
Magner will play number one
man as the Stags face their tough­est
schedule yet. Among highly
touted teams to tie met are Tri­nity,
Providence College, Holy
Cross, and the University of
Massachusetts.
In addition to Magner 'and Don­nelly,
the team's coach, Fr.
James Ring, S.J., will be count­ing
heavily on veteran Matt Car­roll
(New Canaan, Conn.) and two
newcomers to the team,'Nick
Ovidow (Westport, Conn.) and Jay
Deppeler (Brielle, N.J.) Ovidow is
a transfer student from West
Virginia Wesleyan and Deppele, a
junior, just came out for the
team this year.

FOR SOCCER TEAM
, The Stag soccer team'is pnic­ticing
on the soccer field for a
three week session under the
direction of Coach James Kuhl­man.
Coach Kuhlman has the boys
concentrating on basic kicking
skills and hopes to include a­scrimmage
for added experience.
The squad has been aided by a
newly-arisen kick-board upOn
which the booters can practicel
their powerful punts. '
Coach Kuhlman wants the boys
ready in the way of drills fo~7
the fall season which includes a
buSY eight-game, and possibly
more, schedule. Some of the op­position
will be supplied by Stone­hill
College and the Coast Guard
Academy.
SPRING WORKOUTS
playing out there. Our'morale and
attitude is extremely good and we'
'look forward to some coming
wins."
Dick feels that pitching is "75%
of your club" and that "attitude
is the difference between winning
and losing."
Being a marketing major, Dick
is in B.B.A. He has served on
numerous committees and clubs
th roughout his four years at Fair­field
and anxiously looks forward
to next year.
Dick would like to try his glove
at professional baseball after
graduation. Baseball seems to be
the sport in the Robinson family.
Dick's brother, Bill, a 1961 grad­uate
of Boston College, pitches in
the Eastern League for Williams­port,

Now, as a senior, Dick is lead­ing
the Stag nine as captain of the
batmen. Although the season has
barely gotten under way, Dick has
kept his batting average, over the
500 mark for the first three
games. Speaking on the outlook of
the season, D.ick eyes the schedule
very optimistically. "Although

DICK 'ROBINSON:, this week's Sports Personality, strokes a hit
during a baseball g~me last season.
This week's sports personality
is a Fairfield Prep graduate from
Stratford, Connecticut. Dick Rob­inson,
a senior, is the Stags'
baseball team captain and a three
year starter for the batmen.
While at Fairfield Prep, Dick
played baseball and captained
the Prepsters' squad in his senior
year. As a junior, he was named
on the second team of the all­district
squad and in his final
year at the Prep, he made the'
all-district team as the first
string catcher.
HaVing arrived at Fairfield
University and finding that there
was no Freshman baseball team,
Dick played for the Freshman
basketball team. But as a sopho­more,
his baseball ability shone
brightly as he made the varsity
squad with an impressive display.
Dick devoted all of his time to
the "diamond" and with his per­sistence
and dedication secured a
starting berth on the Stag nine at
his catcher position. After a bril­liant
first year behind the plate,
Dick was chosen on the all- Col­legiate
Baseball League team.
This was a remarkable deed,
especially as a sophomore. A
, great deal was expected from this
'young hustler and these expecta­tions
have come through.
, Dick started his junior year off
with great enthusiasm and desire
and this again was shown in his
skilled all-around play. But as the
season progressed, in the sixth
game of the year against the Uni­versity
of Bridgeport, Dick was
injured in a play at the plate and
this was to sideline him for the
remainder of the season. Dick
received a hand fracture as an
opposing player slid into the
tightly-guarded home base. This
was a tragic loss for not only
Dick but also for the team for,
at the time he as swinging an
impressive 361 batting average.

THE, SPO:RiTS DESK
As this University .grows 'and prospers, it will naturaNy
find itself involved in many major changes. New buildings' '
will be built, the older ones will experience an alteration of
function in some cases, and in generaL the school's facilities
wiH be improved upon.
At this time, for purposes of discussion, let UlS settle upon '/
the Gymnasium and its role in the growth, present and
future, of Fairfield University. I
In the Fairfield University catalogue, dated 1963-1964."
the Gymnasium is cited as having "... a special exercise
room and provides facilities for boxing. wrestling. tennis.
volley itaU , calisthenics and general assemblies." No one can
- seriously deny 'the fact that tne gym has facilities for general
assemblies, calisthenics and volley ball. Tennis only. requires'
the net"s being stretched acrbss the floor. but the outdoor
courts lessen the need for indoor tennis to some degree.
However. 'the wrestling and boxing facilities must' be
,located in some secret annex to the gym (perhaps the Bridge­port
YMCA). One would imagine that the special exercise
room is the game room. The game room has proved to be a
welcome addition to the gym but there still are no facilitie-s
for weight-lifting (most of those who lifted in the past did
it with their own weight), gymnastics (parallel bars, high
bar etc.) or wrestling (mats). Boxing may be a little expen­sive
to finance. even just speed bags. but if this is the case.
why advertise it?
Those who tried to start a wrestling team last year didn't
get very far with their requests for the purchase of mats.
Why advertise wrestling facillities?
AlI of these things may be remedied now, but looking
ahead, one foresees the Univer-sity outgrowing the gym­nasium.
Already, the gymnasium must be shared with Fair­field
Prep to the constant chagrin of the University student
who has tried to play basketball at the wrong hour of the
day. As the basketball team improves, as it is doing in leaps
and bounds. the gym will be hard put to acoomodate the
crowds. One Qnly has to look back to the Assumption game
to see the effect of lack of seating capacity. Even next year.
some home games might be scheduled at the' New Haven
Arena, where all the people who want to see the team can
see it. As the school's own enrollment increases. the present
gymnasium become's obsolete. The idea of travelling for
thirty minutes to see a home game i,s ridiculous. although it
may be necessary for the time being.
To get to the point. the time will soon be upon this school
to invest .in a real live field house. It will be needed desper­ately
before too long. One only hopes, for the sake of those
who follow us here that the next gymnasium is functional
as well as' artistic and that ample facilities for all sports w'ill
be included in it.

behind the plate. Second baseman
Al Ves'tro contributed two hits to
the Stag cause.
Errors plagued the Stag nine'
throughout the game as the bat­men
committed eight miscues.
Seton Hall took advantage of the
sloppy fielding as they managed'
eleven hits as compared to the
,)Stags' nine. The Pirates' infield
was very tight as it fielded three
double-plays which killed Fair­field's
rallies.
Right-fielder Paul Morris was
the bright spot on defense play­ing
a fine game in the outfield
as he repeatedly caught fly-balls
that would normally have dropped
in for hits. He made a spec­tacular
diving catch in the midst
of a Seton Hall rally which start­ed
the Stags' only double play of
the day and ultimately stopped the
Pirate rally. He also made two
,~~~~~~ brilliant running catches in the
latter part of the contest.

On Saturday, April 11, the
Fairfield Rugby team lost its
second game of the season to
Columbia University by a 17-0
score.
Though the score did not mirror
the game accurately, it did mirror
the difference in experience be­tween
the two clubs. .
Columbia scored twice in the
j first half and twice in the second
near to the end of the game.
Until halfway through the second
stanza, the Stags still had time to
'pull the' game out of the fire but
just coulan't mount a rally. Ear­lier
in the game, the Stags missed
a penalty kick which would have
put them on the scoreboard with
three points.
