Dr Robert C. ·Pollock, Pro­fessdr
of Philosophy at the Ford­ham
University Graduate School,
will speak on "Christianity and
Experience" Wednesday, May 6
at 8:30 p.m: in Gonzaga Auditor­ium.
The lecture, sponsored ·by
the University's Philosophy Club
in cooperation with the Bellar­mine
Series, is open free to the
public. .
Dr. Pollock received his B.S.
and M.A. degrees from Harvard
University and his Ph.D. from
the University of Taronto. Prior
to joining the Fordham faculty
in 1936 he taught at Bowdoin

NSF Gives $13,700
For J-Slnstitute
Fairfieid has received a $13,700 grant from the National
Science Foundation to supp0rt the fitsCyear of a new three-year
cycle of the In-Service Institute for Secondary School Teachers of
Science and Mathematics.
According to Dr. John A. Barone, Director of Research and
Graduate Science a,t the University, the grant w1ll be used to pro­vide
training, books, and travel allowances for 70 secondary sCh0.o1
teachers during the 1964-65 academic year•. These teachers WIll
receive training in mathematics, bi'Ological and physical sciences.
Assisting Dr. Barone in the direction of the Institute will be Pro­1-
fe-ss-or-R-o-be-rt-li-ol-ge-r,-A-ss-oc_iat,e.Director for Mathema~cs. _._ Major changes will be initi­ated
in the biological training
program. "Three years of ex­perience
with the N.S,'F. Insti­tute"
Dr. Barone says, "dem-
· onstrates the need for biologists
to have greater knowledge of
the methods and advances of the
other SCiE!llCeS, especially chem­istry."
Biological" science stu­dents
will begin with a course
detailing' chemical advances in
the area of ionic, metallic and
covalent bonds. This new course
reflects the increasing trend in
the biological sciences toward
molecular biology. As the know­ledge
of the chemical natures of
genes controlling cell activity
continually increas.es, the con­cept
of the biologist as a natur:­alist
is too restrictive.
Physical science teachers will
be afforded an opportunity to
broaden their knowledge of the
new mathematics·. This is essen­tial
for the secondary school
teacher today to follow advar.ces
in chemistry and physics and to
communicate with an approach­ing
generation of students nur­tured
in the "new mathematics."
Few changes are needed at
'pre~ent in the mathematics pro­gram
offered for teachers. But
a new text by Professor Bolger
on modern and linear algebra
will be used in the second year
'of the cycle.
The N.S.F. has indicated its
intention to support the pro­gram
again in 1965-66. Secon-
• dary school teachers enrolled
can use the credits toward a
Masters degree or a sixth year
Certificate of Advanced Study.
Requests for application blanks
and inform:ttion which were re­ceived
by tfie University before
the funds for this program were
granted will be answered short­ly,
according to Dr. Barone.

Report Cites
Proctoring
Inadequate
The newly founded Honor Com­mittee,
under th.e direction ofthe
Student Council, has proposed a
system of "proctoring the proc­tors"
by the Dean or similar au-thority
for the elimination of
cheating during examinations.
The Committee has considered
several proposals, inclu(iing the
formation of an hono'r system at
the University.
Present System Faulty
The Committee reported that
"the proctoring system here at
Fairfield, as it nQW standS, is not
exactly a model system, in fact it
is far from it. It is true that
proctors have been known to leave
rooms and to even disappear in
·some capes for the entire· one
hundred minutes, returning in
time to collect the exams. Prac­tices
of this sort are not con­ducive
to an efficient proctoring
system."
Proposal Explained
In explaining the proposed sys­item
of proctoring the proctors,
"the committee said that "since
only two buildings, Canisius and
Xavier Halls, are used for exami­nations
and because exams are
, given ~nlY twice a day, the job
of chief proctor would not be a
difficult one. A quick, unan­nounced
trip through all the floors
of the two buildings, during both
examin-ation periods, is all that is
needed. Those teachers who are
found out of their assigned room s,
or those who while in the room,
are not doing their job, (by this we
mean reading the paper, correct­ing
exams, etc.) should be dealt
with as the chief proctor sees
fit. "
Information concerning an
honor system here was gathered
from various colleges and uni­versities,
including the four
Service Academies. The ideawas
turned down, however, because
opinions . expressed by both
faculty members and student body
are on a pessimistic note.
The idea of student proctors
was also considered, but the con­sensus
of opinion was that a
\ "student proctor is still a stu­dent
more than he is a proctor."
The committee, composed of
freshmen Paul Barnes, Bart Fra­ney,
Kevin McGovern, Michael
Cortegiano, Joseph 1)'Arco and
W1lliam Egan, said in summary
that "the elimination of cheating
is vital to a program of higher
education, and the first step to­ward
an honor system, which we
hope w1ll become an integral part
of Fairfield. It is anecessitythat
cannot be overlooked, and one that
has been recognize"d by this com­mittee.
The challenge can be
successfully met with a combined'·
effort of faculty and students we
hopefully present it to both
(See SHAKESPEARE, page 9) groups."
The major address of the
day will be given by George
Bagshawe Harrison who is an
authority on Shakespeare and a
noted author; He will be award­ed
an honorary degree for his
contributions to understanding
the playwright. Harrison was
born in Hove, Sussex, England
in 1894 and was educated at
Brighton College, Queens Col­lege
(Cambridge) and the Uni­versity
of London. He served
in both of the World Wars as
a Captain of The Queen's Roy­al
Regiment and as captain
in the Royal Army Service- and
Intelligence Corps, respective­ly.
Before joining the .fac.ulty
of the University of MIchIgan
in 1949 as a Professor of Eng­lish
he had. been head of the
English Department at Queen's
College Canada had taught in
England at st. Paul's Training
College and at the University
of Lor:don's Kings' College.
Harrison's best known works
are the four volumes of Eliza­bethan
and\ Jacobean Journals
in which he\~races from day to
day those events, great and
small which excited Shakes­peare'
and his contemporaries.
From the American Shakes­peare
Festival Theatre atStrat­ford
will come Joseph Verner
Reed the Chairman ofthe Board
and Executive Producer to re­ceive
an honorary degree. The

The Sociology Club will spon­sor
a lecture by Norman J.
Krasner on "What is a Kibbutz?"
May 1 at 3: 15 p.m. in L-306.
The term Kibbutz or Kibbutzim .
refers to a "communist like"
community or communal farm
arranged around the socialist
credo "from each· according' to
his means, to each according to

In effect such a societydenies
the individual the right to priv­ate

been used most extensively in the
modern state of Israel.

YOUR BEST BET
Pt:iO;l: to coming to Fairfield,
.Fr. John McCarthy was a member
of the faculty at Al Hikma Uni­versity
in Baghdad, Iraq.
. Upon receiving his M.S. in
Physics at Boston College he went
on to study Theology at Weston
College. Before he taught in Iraq,
he taught at Holy Cross and
Boston College.
A favorite pastime of Fr. Mc­Carthy's
is the theater, and he
is now moderator of the Fair­field
Drama Society. He has a
good deal 0 experience in this
field, for he held a moderator's
post at Boston College for sev­eral
years, and also directed a
play in Iraa. Fr. McCarthy com­mented
that "the facilities here
are wonderfUl, we have a well
equiped theater and Mr. Emerich
is a very competent director. The
size of the theater allows us to
put on. several performances.
Its purpose is the students who
are acting in the plays, and the
more practice they get the better
experienced they will be. Here
they have an excellent opPortunity
to act under good direction."
When asked if he thought the
emphasis' of the Philosophy cur­riculum
was placed on unduly
isolated subjects, rather than on
man, he said everyone must have
an understanding of the basic
problems of philosophy first, as
in mathematics one must study
such SUbjects as algebra to get a

JEFF CLUTTERBUCK '66
For ·the greater part of our lives, from the time we reached
puberty, we have raised a great cry for freedom. We have looked
for release from the restrictions of our parents, our teaChers,
------- and in fact all authority. We have been screaming to be let alone,
to be per~itted to make our own decisions, to do what we want.
We have been clamoring to be "free." . .
And in. spite of all this campaigning, we have yet to fully realize
what real freedom is•. TIME called us the "silent generation"
and in a sense they are right. The one thing that seems to character­ize
us as a whole is the aureole of indifference,' of non-committment,
which surrounds us. We are the generation that plays the odds,
that uses the mental slide-rule to figure the angles. We know how
far we can go without involving ourselves, and we are careful not
to pass that point. We prefer to be the spectators, the Larrys of
The Iceman Cometh. But if we maintain that mentality, we will
never come to know what freedom is.
What is freedom? It is not the ability to do whatever we want,
whenever we want without thought to the consequences of our
actions. This is' ~haOS, not freedom. It is rather the facing of a
particular situation and the active acceptance of it. It is a decision,
freely arrived at, ~ere we recognize that we must remain within
certain limitations, imposed on us by the conditions we are in,
and then accept these limitations. It is similar to being placed be­tween
two parallel Walls, extending for an indefinite distance. If
we face the walls and try to batter them down we cannot be free,
'because the walls will not give. They become constraining 3l!-d op­pressive.
But if we turn and face the space within them, we find
infinite room for movement with no restrictions. It is this acceptance
of a situation, this interior orientation of mind, which constitutes'
freedom. It is only by bearing responsibilities that we become
truly free. It is only in this way that we become men.

One Small CVoice
The student constitution, to which there appeared to be so much
opposition has been passed by an overwhelming majority. But the
v constitutio'n itself is not perfect. It needs intensive work if it is to
become an acceptable governing instrument. This work can only
be had if the student body of this university accepts the responsi­bility
of helping to alter it.
.whether we like it or not this is our baby. It has been dumped
into our laps and we can either turn it into a productive organ, de­signed
to aid the development of the school, or we can create out
cof it an oppressive and coercive monster. We have no choice. OUr
freedom in this instance must come from the acceptance both of the
constitution and of our responsibility to perfect it. If we do not.
·make this act of acceptance, I fear that this cdbstitUtion can and will'
destroy us.
With this in mind I ask every student tG give thorough consider­ation
to the qualific~tions of the candidates in the coming election,
and choose not the most popular, but those most capable of accept­ing
the responsibility imposed upon them - those most able to
act and act wisely. I believe that it is only in this way that we can
make Fairfield bearable for those who follow us.

50 Colleges Attend_Discussion
On Scientific Terminology
Constitution
Vote Breakdown
Dr. Gordon Di Renzo, author .
and professor of Sociology here
opened a day long symposium
concerned essentially with the
"clarification of scientific ter­minology."
Dr. Di Renzo explained in his
opening speech "even the pro­fessionals
working within the
same discipline and even more
specifically within the same
framework of common methodo­logical
orientations frequently
are unable to achieve successful
communication with one another.
This unfortunate situation be­comes
compounded when scien­tists
of closely allied, not to
mention the widely. diver sified,
fields attempt to communicate.
Often the same forms' are used
with several different meanings,
each allegedly making reference
to the same phenomena." To
expound on this Dr. DiRenzo
said that some type of concept­ualization
is necessaryfor scien­tific
activity. "One must remain
ever mindful that the scientist
lives in the wQrld of scientific
cognitions as much as any lay­man
lives in the world of non­scientific
cognitions. Given the
fundamental dynamics of cogni­tion,
conceptual language influ­ences
scientific perceptions and
consequently, the total research
process."
Except for a few minor chan­ges,
the symposium ran as sched­uled.
Professor Talcott Par=
sons, originally scheduled to be
the first speaker, reported that
he would be unable to attend.

Now we urge student~

that the full importance of the

On Sunday April 19 the Connec­ticut
College Young Republican
Division of the Connecticut Young
Republicans held their annual
election meeting at Yale. Guy
J. Caputo and Alfred Roach went
as delegates from Fairfield Uni­versity.
Mr. Caputo who has
been president of the Campus
Republican Club for the past
year, was elected to the office
of vice chairman of the state
college organization.

caputo Elected
.To State Post
He explained that the state
officers are going to improve
communication, and political in­terest
among the twelve colleges
in the state which belong to
the College Division. Antici­pating
a bUsy election year with
a vjgoroqs campaign in the ur­ban
~~as, he plans to spend
time this summer with the new­ly
elected chairman Bill Rawn
of Yale setting up campaigns
for local clubs.
Upon invitation from Mrs. Dow,
Social Director of Manhattan­ville
College, the Republican
Clubs of Fairfield University and
Manhattanville have entered into
a joint club. Presently the club
has a Ilrovisional constitution
which provides for a confeder­ation;
each clubs retaining its
autonomy. The purpose behind
such a merger is to .stimulate
interest and to allow the schools
to draw upon mutual resources.
This will undOUbtedly make pol..
itics more colorful. Specifically,
the union will foster political
education by means of guest lec­tures,
debates and seminars.
While a partil'ian organization,
emphasis will be placed on the
educational aspect. In addition
social activities are planned be­tween
the two clUbs. lf possible
a social for the two clubs is
planned for the early fall. Mrs.
Dow and the presidents of both
clubs as well as its founders
will meet during the summer to'
complete arrangements for the
fall.
Here on campus: the Young
Republicans held their election
on Thursday April 23. and Al­fred
Roach'65 was elected Pres­ident:
Al has been a member of
the club for three years and has
assisted the past president, Guy
Caputo, during. the past year.
Elected to the Vice-Presidency
was John Timmel. For the of­fice
of Technical Secretary, Sec­retary,
and Treasurer, those e­lected
were Bill Garland, James
Brennan and Matt Lyons,.respec­tively.
Bill Garland served this
past year as Treasurer.

1964-65 will be a transition period
for philosophy' as this year was for
Theology. When the new Philosophy
program has been brought about the
courses will include: Epistemology,
Philosophical Psychology, Metaphys­ics,
History of Philosophy, and
Ethics.
The five subject system vi-ewed as
a whole is an excellent step forward
in the educational program here at
FairfieId. Nothing is ,lost, a great deal .
is gained. It will open horizons to
Theology and Philosophy majors and
wilt lengthen time to be spent in
other majors. Almost every student
looks forward to less dassroom hours
that will enable him to do a grea't
deal more on his own. Now he has
the opportunity and yet a greater
responsibility.

1'0 the Editor:
Two weeks ago the student body accept­ed
one of the most authoritative and re­sponsible
constitutions existing on Amer­ican
Catholic campuses. The magnitude
of the new system far outreaches any
form of student government ever at Fair­field.
Yet the distinct majority vote in
favor of the new form indicates not only
the interest evoked by the Government-,
but also the willingness of the students
to respond to the rights and obligations
of the advanced type of self-rule.
The proper operation of the Govern­ment
is now the responsibility of every
student. Participation in iLand cooper­ation
with its objectives is necessary.
The next year Will be only the first
stage ~n the realization of its potential
benefit to the campus. New and larger
membership is required, and familiarity
with the new government must develop
through use.· Only then will the con­stitution's
significance express itself.
We now have something valuabk and
meaningful that we never before; pos­sessed.
It is our responsibility to ful­fi:
ll the demands and freedom inherent
but is not in the constitutional tradi­tion
of free speech." The Press should
have known that -the Constitution
guarantees citizens freedom of speech
against governmentaf prohibition of
speech. It guarantees no one the right
to be invited to speak at a university.
Better informed student leaders
are well aW'are of that distinction.
When Loyola University similarly
revoked an invitation to Governor
George C. Wallace of Alabama, the
Loyola News quoted Frank Cihlar,
president of the Union Board, as
having no doubt about the univer­sity's
right to cancel the invitation.
The university, he said, is "fully in
authority and had every right to do
so." But he added: "Whethe,r their
exercise of this autho6ty is prudent
is something else. There should be a
certain freedom or privilege accorded
to the student body."
. With that proposition it would be
hard to disagree, nor do we imagine
that the authorities at Loyola or
Xavier would quarrel with it. Cer­tainly
the bias of university policy
should be in favor of the students'
freedom to manage the affairs of their
student organizations. It is safe to
say, too, that some .university ad­ministrators
could afford to be less
ca.litiaus in giving students scope to
act than they have been. But these
are still questions of policy, not of
an unlimited and unassailable right
of students to use a university's name
and facilities as they choose.
Policy decisions are open to stu­dent
criticism, of course. If student
editors can keep in mind the differ­ence
between mature criticism and an
incessant adolescent nagging, the dis­cussion
of university policy in cam­pus
newspiapers can be as useful to
the administration as it is to the stu­dents.
At its best, it should lead to
a clear understanding, on both sides,
of the premises and goals of the pol­icies
that must prevail in a Catholic
university.
In Catholic univerSItIes across the
United States the natives (if we may
so call the students) are restless. Siena
College students have for months
been . publishing an underground
mimeographed sheet appropriately en­titled
Undercurrent and dedicated
chiefly to explaining what is wrong
with Siena. Notre Dame's president,
Very Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh,
CSc., felt obliged to reply to con­tinuous
harassment of his administra­tion
in the campus newspaper. Su­spension
of the student newspaper at
Seton HaU University led to a stu­dent
demonstration that firemen had
to cool off with a small hose. When
Xavier University of Cincinnati and
Loyola University of Chicago can­celed
invi,tations that had been ex­tended
to racist Sout>hern governors
to speak on their campuses, the stu­deDit
press reacted with loud and bit­ter
complaints.
Such incidents. we expect, will be
more than less numerous in months
to come. The cry everywhere among
the younger generation is "Uhuru!"
University _administrators will be
forced to think through the issues
involved in their students' demand
for freedom. We do not envy them
the task. Like other persons of mid­dle
age, we shall sympathize if ad­ministrators
sometimes take as their
motto Jean Kerr's remark to her hus-
. band about their children: "After all,
we're bigger than they are and. be­sides,
it's our house."
The issues raised by student unrest
are there, nevertheless, and must be
faced. As a modest and negative con­tribution
to the discussion, let us
state what the issues are not. It may
then be easier to see what they really
are.
They are not i!Ssues of constitu­tional
right: When Xavier Universtty
rescinded Mississippi Governor Ross
Barnett's invitation to speak on cam­pus,
the Cleveland Press editorialized:

A Major In First Grade?
Last· issue I spoke of the recent actlon by Tufts University to
remove one of their assistant philosophy professors, Dr. Woodrow
Wilson Sayre, relative of the late President Wilson. The reason for
his dismissal, I contended and still do so, is a good, current example
of the many foolish moves of professional education. The University
recognizes his worth in the classroom but must push him out be­cause
he is apparently not a top-notch scholar. Some may say that
this is an oversimplification of the case .and that the release of
Dr. Sayre is inseparably if unfortunately bound up with the· many
probiems of a school that is seeking equality with those fewinstitu­tions
that have reached the recognized heights of scholarship. If
this excuse is meant to explain away the sluff-off of a man who has
obvious skill in the classroom and clearly possesses a mind that
finds ease and interest in many fields, then it serves only to make
the situation more foolish. These are exactly the type of men that
are lacking to education in the colleges and universities of our
"advanced" age. The problems that are proposed as reasons why
Dr. Sayre cannot stay at Tufts are problems that every school will
have to face in the race to the top of the heap. But instead of
accepting such th,ings as necessary evils should we not look at our
norms our entire network of education and see if we are not de­feating
the purpose of learning and making a mockery of the worth
of man?
There is far too much to be looked at in this matter to make ade­._
quate coverage possible, but there are certain questions that are
of greater importance.• One of these I will now attempt to examine.
It becomes more and more common to hear from those who are
genUinely concerned about the present condition of education the
question of whether the liberal education is not dying a slow but
definite death. Answers disagree but facts of the trend seem to
Iverify what I fear may be true. Some will say that on the contrary
the day of liberal -education is just dawning and true growth and
flowering is yet to come. I think what they really see as the future
of liberal education is a trend toward general education. A con-
• crete example is Fairfield University's own recognition of the
general education as worthy of a bachelor of arts degree. I am
not saying that this is a bad thing. In fact, in the face of greater )
danger it may be just what is needed. And this greater danger
is the ever increasing lean toward undergraduate specialization.
Specialty or so-called "major" orientated education has at the
moment two prongs to its spear. One is the strictly technical,
scientific or vocational type training; and the other is the direction
of pre-graduate curriculum solely toward graduate learning. Who
will say which is more dangerous? Of the two I think the latter
is but both are inseparable and together may be the reason Why
liberal education is dying as they claim. While the one produces a
narrow mind that is grounded too much in the concrete and mater­ialistic,
.the other captures those who would ordinarily be the road
to liberal learning and puts them on· the same unbranched and
single-railed, undirectional track that technical training follows.
This is why it is more dangerous and this is why the liberal arts
students of a university such as Fairfield face the slightly terrify­ing
prospect of graduate studies that are too much for us because
we lacked on the undergraduate level some very necessary spe­cialization.
The tendency is to think that more and more major
courses are to be given and that something is wrong with the pre­graduate
curriculum.
Where will all this lead?' Well, if followed to its natural and
inevitable conclusion we shall have to make out our elective sheets
in May of our Kindergarten year~, a.1U llaV.llll> lnade a sound decision

New Program
(S~e COLGATE, page 6)
HAMILTON, N.Y. (I.P.)- Col­gate
University will implement,
effective in the fall of 1964, a
distinctive program which in-·
volves radical changes from tra­ditional
approaches to under­graduate
education, according to .
a recent announcement by Presi­dent
Vincent M. Burnett, Jr.
. In essence, under the new Col­gate
Plan of Education, regular
semesters will be reduced in
length from 16 to 14 weeks, stu­dents
will typically enroll for
four courses rather than five, and
a special four-week study period
will be added to the academic
year.
According to Dean of the
Faculty James A. Storing, the new
plan is the result of more than a
year of careful study and evalua­tion.
Curiously, the original com­mittee
headed by Clement Hen­shaw,
Professor of Physics and
Chairman of the Department, was
charged with the narrowly defined
task of examining .student course
loads.
Professor Hen s haw said
"there was some doubt about the
value of continuing to require
students to enroll for five
course." ThUS, the committee
began its work by studying the
practices at other colleges and
universities. One major· consi­deration
in revamping student
course loads was the realization
that there should be ample op­portunity
for diversity and flexi­bility
and that total reliance on
the traditional course approach to
instruction was not sacred.
I As he put it, "the special

attempt to break With this
tradition and explore other ways·
of teaching undergraduates. Al­though

LEO PAQUETTE
THE
Nothing much changes, does it? Or doesn't it? I was thumbing
through some, old issues of the STAG the other day when I came
across what was to me a very interesting article in the May 23,
1958 edition. It cited the efforts of the Fairfield delegation to the
state Young Democrats Convention in blocking a resolution to re-
. peal Connecticut's birth control law. Last week a delegation from
this club sponsore.d a successful resolution to repeal the law.
Perhaps we are making progress atterall.
Even more interesting, this same issue ran a lead story abqut
Fairfield University's new gymnasium, with six basketball courts,
a total seating capacity of 6,000, and facilities for both college
and prep games on the same night. Ah-huh•••
Weli, some plans have a way of materialiZing in a different
form. Similarly, I hope the plans for a "new Fairfield" as pre­sented
in the last issue of the STAG materialize in a slightly
different form. Although the plans for a Student Center, science
building, and new dorms make me· wish I were starting over as a
freshman with the benefit of these buildings, some features of the
plan puzzle me. .
There are thoughts of building a smaller gym for the prep,
and leaving the present one to us instead of building a much-needed
field house. This seems dangerously short-sighted. But what
disturbs me even more is the seeming lack of any Specific provision
for a new separate library building. A university's worth can fre­quently
be measured by the size, quality, and availability of its
library•. Despite. its list of censored bOoks, our ~ibrary at present
shows. a good selection in certain areas. Yet it also exhibits bad
tendencies. Someone p6inted out that the poolroom is open longer
on weekends than the library. The hours'of availability for micro­film
are also sharply curtailed. ,But the future of a "new Fair­field"
simply must include a top-notch library.
I wonder too about Fairfield's projected rate of growth, reaching
perhaps 2,000 undergrads in another ten years. There is talk of
3,000 students by the turn of the century. Woah - wait a minute ­take
it easy I say. Apart from the buildings, where will the faculty
come from? Where is our faculty endowment fund? And how will
this affect our admissions policy? Fairfield's student-faculty ratio·
is not the best as it is. What will happen under an expansion pro­gram?
These questions need satisfactory answers.
More than expansion in size, I want my alma mater to better
her quality, on the part of bo.th students and faculty. Is there
danger that Fairfield will become a "degree facto.ry?" Let's
hope not. - This is the time when Fairfield will make a big de­cision
regarding which direction it will take.
As for the four -dorms by the pond, possibly for students "of
another sex," I'm all in 'favor. All-male colleges seem to be a
rather medieval, unnatural form of segregation. anyway. They are
an· historical accident. And speaking· of historical accidents, I
hope we don't m.ake any.
And on· this, the octave of Will's 40Dth: "I win do such thinp's:

it is "a natural outgrowth of the

of the school has become more

not spoon feed the stu­dents,

to see some "re-thinking" onthe

any alternatives.
In conclusion he said, "The

a major overhaul woilld result in
an improved educational pro­gram.
In final form, the proposals and '
recommendations of the commit­tee
which the faculty approved'
win result in the most significant
change to take place at Colgate in
18 years. Early in the admini­stration
of Everett N. Case, Pre­sident
of Colgate from 1942-1962,
the faculty adopted what became
known as the "Core Program"
of general education. During the
last two decades this concept of
general education has been mo­dified
and refined as necessary.
Interestingly, the new plan ­identified
as 4-1-4 (four courses
first semester; one, special
studies period; and four courses
second semester) will retain the
essence of the Core Program by
combining courses to accommo- '
date the new requirements.
Although the 4-1-4 plan will

Such a variety of good perform­ers
added to the excellence of
the production.
Costumes are' obviously not
enough to make the translation
from classical England to the
dusty west valid. For the sake
of shortening the' play from five
to three acts and in' the role of
an interpreter Mr. Emerich sup­plied
his audience with a min­strel.
Robert McDonald put his
own words to familiar music
and gave us necessary explana­tions
of certain events. Every­one
looked forward to his en­trance
on stage, stringing his
g~itar ,,(quit!! ,!professionally I
might say), which added that
extra touch of atmosphere which
made the time and place of the
play all the more legitimate. In­teresting
to note also is that
Mr. Emerich used one of Pi­randello's
techniques - that is,
an audience-actor relationship.,
Before the play and during in­termissions
the actors mingled
with the viewers. This was good
for it makes the theatre goer a
participant and allows' him to be­come
a part of the action on
stage. At the outset the actors
introduced themselves and an­nounced
the role they were play­ing.
This was unnecessary. For
we want to know them not by
their real names but rather by
Macbeth, Ban,quo and so on. It
is their stage' person we want
to look into. The fight scene at
the end between Macbeth and
Macduff was a real front street
Dodge City show. It was ex­tremely
realistic but could have
been about fifteen seconds short­er.
The closing, of the play was
magnificent. Malcolm (John Kap­penberg)
comes front stage to
invite us to his crowning and the
entire cast, meanwhile is hum­ming
an old Irish march in the
background. It stirred the audi­ence
greatly and the horrible
injustices committed by Macbeth
seemed rightf~lly avenged.

GERARD J. WOLF
Endorse Repeal Of Birth Control Law
Y Dems Attend Conve.tion
cnlle's present'government, headed by coalition-backed Presi­dent
Jorge Alessandri will terminate its sixth and final year in
September. The POPul~ president's lack-luster gov~rnment cannot
repeat itself according to law, thus insuring the expluslOn of apathetic
bureaucrats. With its slow moving reforms, the government has
not only been criticized and attacked from the inside by left of
center and socialist' forces, but. it has received a great deal of
pressure from the U. S. to comply with land and tax reforms
promised in Alliance for Progress agreements. .
There are seven factions which have combined to form four
political parties: The Radical Party, The Communist-Socialist
Front, The Liberal Party, and The Christian Democratic Party.
The Radical Party, whose name is in no way indicative of its
political tendencies, and whose members are from the upper classes,
compares to the Conservative Party in our political midst. The
party candidate for the presidency, Julio Duran, recently placed
himself in contention again after a previous withdrawal when a
supposedly solid radical 'town, Curacao, voted communist in its
municipal elections. This setback not only cruslfed party morale
but has most certainly startled hemispheric observers. With the
decline of this political force, comes the rise in power and influ­ence
of the liberals, socialists, and democrats.
The Liberal Party holds the balance of power ,at this moment'
in Chile. It is to .be found right of center and can be called an
enlightened conservative party.. The liberals have lured many
disillusioned radicals from the r~s of the far right, and some,
Christian Democrats who were not willing to support the party's
rigid land and tax reforms. Jorge Prat, the Liberal candidate
for president, has used his name,' which is synonymous with that of
a Chilean war hero, Arturo Prat, to gain the support of many un­decided
voters. The possib1lities for Prat's victory are extremely
.slim but he stands between' the Conservative Party and the Chris­tian
'Democratic Party, a left of center group. With this in mind,
it is very easy to understand how Pratand his party have "short
stopped" many votes which might have gone to the Christian Demo­cratic
Party from dissenting Radicals.
The Socialist-Communist Front Party, known as FRAP, has
gained nation-wide support. Inflation, which has undermined the
Chilean economy has driven the lower income groups into the
FRAP camp. The 800,000 slum dwellers in Santiago alone have'
grown tired of empty promises and are solidly behind Dr~ Salvador
Allende, a physician who claims that he has the remedies for all of
Chile's ills. As FRAP's candidate, Dr. Allende (pronounced 1- '
yen-dee), has' promised land-poor Chileans large, chunks of the
wealthy estates after his devastating land reform program goes
through. From his large home in one of Chile's more exclusive
coastal towns Dr. Allende has pUblicly announced that he will
nationalize ov~r $1 billion of foreign capital tied up in Chile~ vast'
copper industry. After such a move, the flight of capitaI-from;the '
country would devastate all industry recently initiated by foreign
investors thus setting Chile back fifteen years, at least, in its
march to;"ard an improved economic foundation. It seems, however,
that close to 35% of the Chilean population is w1lling to take that
chance. '
Chile's only genuine hope of staving off an Allende victory,
which would be the first time in Latin America's history that a
communist was freely elected to the presidency, rests in the
hands of the moderately leftist Christian Democratic Party.
Since its formation in the last decade, the Christian Democrats
have set out to inject Christian ideals and ethics into the govern­ment
and its relation with those governed. It has presented a land
reform which seems to be fair to both the land owners and those who,
merely work on the'land. Cooperatives have been urged by Chri$l:ian
Democrats rather than the reduction of highly productive-farms to
inefficiently run parcels. The party's immediate' task is the
stabilization of the Chilean eSCUdo, which has risen from one-to-,
the-dollar to three-to·the-dollar in two years. Tjle Christian
Democrats, unlike their far left opponents have no Intention of
nationalizing any foreign interests in Chile. The party candidate,
Eduardo Frei (pronounced Fray) has a dynamic personality. He
has that intangible quality' which sets him apart from any other
Chilean and which, at the same time, incorporates him and makes
him a part of the Chilean's iIlexorable drive for progress.
As a footnote, I would like to comment on the ousting of Brazil's
Communist leaning president, Joao GoUlart, and Us possible effects
on the Chilean elections. '
Since the War of the Pacific in 1879, in which Chile defeated both
Bolivia and Peru, Brazil and Chile'have enjoyed close,relations.
This stems from the fact that Brazil prevented Argentina from
siding with the Peruvian-Bolivian forces and attacking Chile from
the rear, plus the realizaHon'that Chile and Brazil share,no borders
with one another. -
In these eighty-five years, the Chileans have grown to respect
and admire the Braz1lians. Both countries have advanced in the '
democratic tradition. Both couritries have advanl:ed in the demo­cratic
tradition without the vi91ent over-thrQW of a single govern­ment,
much less the intervention of th.!r·fuilitary in civic affairs.
The question is now, will the Chile.i!MS re-evaluate their position
as well as that of.lhe Communist.,.,randidate, and the consequences
should he gain the presidency? '

An optimistic picture of the
prospects for the nomination of­Senator
Barry Goldwater high­lighted
a speech to the Conserv­ative
Club by Mr. Kieran O'Do­herty
of the New York Conserv­ative
Party. O'Doherty, the par­ty's
candidate for U. S. Senator
in 1962, spoke in Xavier hall on
Tu'esday night, April 21 to a
gathering of University students
A.nd Fairfield residents.
Dr. Robert F. Pitt, Registrar
at Fairfield University, attended
the 50th Annual Meeting of the
Association of Collegiate Regis­trars
and Admissions Offi'cers
in Omaha, Nebraska, April 20­24.
More than,' 700 representa­tives
of 600 colleges and uni­versities
of the nation were pres­ent.
O'Doherty stated that, - in his
opinion, certain issues would play
into the Goldwater camp. He saw
a growing consensus for the mod­erate
Goldwater approach to the
civil rights question which rec­ognizes
the problem as essen­tially
moral in nature. Mr.
O'Doherty' also saw a growing
acceptance of Goldwater foreign
policy views, and said that Pres­ident
Johnson; realizing this, was
trying to remove foreign policy
as an issue. He also cited as
evidence of the popularity of
Goldwater's stands the fact that,
Richard Nixon is echoing Gold­water's
positions on foreign pol­icy
issues. Foreign policy, 0'-
'Doherty thought, would override
,domestic questions as the most
'important issue of the 1964 cam­paign.
Hest:~ied that the Senator is
experiencing difficulty with the
'press in getting accurate re­porting
of, his positions. This,
he believed, would lead the Sen­ator
to lay stress in his-cam­paign

radio and television rather than
through the press.

Curdy, Ewan MacColl, Lester
Flatt, Earl Scruggs and the ,Fog­gy
Mountain Boys. With that
many excellent performers it
would take a lead-lined picket
to prevent a good performance.
Most of the songs run fairly
traditional with a few exceptions.
Particularly appealing _on the
lirst side are "Wayfaring :stran­ger"
by Bob Gibson and "You
can Tell The World" by Gib­son,
Camp, Rosmin1, and Brown.
The cowboy songs are well
handled in two humorous treat­ments
of "The Lavender Cow­boy"
and "Blood on the Saddle"
by Ed McCurdy. The best on the
first side is "Railroad Bill" by
the great Cisco Houston. He does
it with a truly "folk" treat­ment.
The second side of the record
has Peggy Seeger, Ewan Mac­CoIl,
Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs;
and the Foggy Mountain Boys.
The only one who might need
introduction is Ewan MacColl.
He is' one of the best singers
of Scottish and British folk songs
around today. Flatt and Scruggs
with the Foggy, Mountain Boys
do their usual masterful job in
the bluegrass tradition. As for
Peggy Seeger little need be said.
The magic of talent seems to
attach itself to anyone bearing ,
that family name.
is just short of edifying to see her
treated with scorn by, all con­cerned.
She pretends to be every­thing,
and turns out to be a'per­son
of little or no stature.
Harold Pinter's screenplayef­fectively
sets the r.nood, every
line adding to the total iinpres­sion
left by "The Servant." In
one scene, Tony and his girl­friend
meet in a restaurant. The
camera and audio shift back"iInd
forth from their convers<ltlori to
others around them., Stuffy
bankers, vapid old ladies" talk of
various things - always in terms
of class.
The orgy scene at the end of
the movie 1S st.-rangely sinister.
It seemed that the servant already
had"crushedthe oppressor," yet
he goes on by horridly down­grading
Fox and the girl in the
.presence of a roomful of hired'
tormentors. Pinter's reason for
adding it to the scrip its am­biguous
as it seems thematically
repetitive and adds more time to
what may be called an over~y
lengthy movie for the matter it
presents.
Dirk Bogarde is superior as
the servant. His supposed obse­quires
are filled with neatly con­cealed
mockery while his lines
are delivered with wry humor and
sarcasm. Sarah Miles plays Vera
with the vivaciousness of a strum­pet
on the loose. James Fox and
Wendy Craig are convincingly
contemptuous as the haughty Bri­tish
upper clas~ snobs. The.
photography of Doug Sloucum of
outdoor English scenes and the
camerawork within the house is
skillfully done.
"The Servant" is a fine film,
to be most en~oyed by those who
like thrillers and by anyone who
feels he is being oppressed and
.would like to learn how to beat
his oppressor in three easy
lessons.

"The Servant" made its first
American appearance last fall at
the New York Film Festival.
Though not the recipient of any
awards, the film dominated post­festival
discussions of compet­ing
films. For "The Servant" is
a deftly cunning, perhaps overly
r- bitter, polemic on classed Bri-
~tish"'society.Director Joseph Lo­sey
has made this oft-used theme
into an excitingly suspensefUl
thriller which leaves the viewer
in doubt as to what Losey's pri­mary
purpose is - to shock us
with the mysterious goings-onor
to re-emphasize the evil inherent
to rigid class distinctions within
modern society.
Hugo Barret (Dirk Bogarde) is
the servant, the gentleman's gen­tleman,
who is hiredbythe young,
profligate aristocrat, Ton y
(James Fox). At first he appears
to be the ideal servant, obedient
and resourcei':l. One may see
through his obsequiousness, how­ever,
to something in his charac­ter
that one would not wish to see
in his man-servant - ambition.
Barret alienates Fox's girlfriend
(Wendy Craig) who takes an
. openly hostile and domineering

REFLECTIONS
William Garland
The presidential aspirations of Senator Barry Goldwater are once
again on the way up, after experiencing a strong setback from the
results of the New Hampshire primary. The efforts of the stop­Goldwater:
forces in the Republican party to read a Goldwater de­feat
into the results of the Illinois priIl),!lT.y, where the Senator got
sixty-five per-cent of the vote, are not convincing very mlUlY.·
Their efforts to show that the Senator from Arizona is less popular
than Senator Taft was in 1952 when he received 74 per-cent of the
Illinois presidential vote, are quickly' rebuffed by the fact that Taft
ran un-opposed, in the 1952 primary. The twenty-five per-cent
received by Mrs. Smith represents the sum total of all non-Gold­water
supporters in the state's Republican ranks.
The> efforts of the stop-Goldwater forces in the press have been
successful in keeping the all-important delegate count out of the
publ1c9wind.. In the 1952 race between Eisenhower and Taft much
,presS'~mphasis was placed on the number of delegates each had in
the months preceeding the convention. By contrast, the press in
1964 seems to be very much concerned with the latest popUlarity
poll ana dW5 not pay much heed to the delegate" count. Perhaps'
the reason for this is that delegate count indicates a strong pro­Goldwater
trend. At this writing, the Senator has one hundred and
fifty,.nine delegates committed to him at the convention. His near­est
competitor, Mr'.· Lodge ... has the' impressive total of fourfeen
-delegates. All other competitors for the nomination, announced
or un-announced have no delegates committed to them.
The demise of Nelson Rockefeller is all but a fait-accompli.
-His unimpressive showing in Illinois where the segregationist
governor, of Alabama, George Wallace received more votes than
he in a Republican primary is indicati~e of the Rockefeller record
e~~w~~re1: 'In"'his home state of New York, 'whose delegates to
th~'.co ~ntfon, I}?ckefeller felt sure of winning, he is faced with a
. revolt' by £he t'p'arty machinery in the northern part of the state.
Governor Scranton of Pennsylvania, once considered the most
probable stop-Goldwater candi-l".e, is faced with a rebellion of
the Republican organization in :'le western part of the state. Alle­gheny
county has elected pro-Goldwater delegates to the convention
and other counties may follow suit.
. The LOdge candidacy for all its vaunted grass-roots support,
IS not impressing party regulars. They feel that the Lodge popu­larity
is limited to thl;! Northeast and some small pockets in the
West such as' Oregon. They also discount Mr. Lodge's ability as a
campaigner, citing his loss in 1952, a Republican landslide year,
and his refusal to campaign hard for the ticket in 1960. A Lodge
nomination, they feel, would also remove from the Republican ar­senal
one of their most potent issues - the Administration's
prosecution of the war in South Vietnam, and the role the Admin- '
istration played in the overthrow of th~ Diem regime.
When the anti-Taft forces denied the Senator the nomination in
1952, they succeeded by focusing all their efforts upon one man ­Eisenhower.
In 1964, by contrast, the anti-Goldwater forces are
badly_divided between Scranton, Nixon, Lodge lind Rockefeller.
The California primary assunies newIinportance no\Ve;- 'The
winner-take-all primary has the' prize of eighty-six convention
votes. These votes, if. won by Goldwater, might start a bandwagon
rolling wqich would lead the Senator to a first or second ballot
victory. On the other hand, a Rockefeller victory in this crucial
'state would probably block a Goldwater nomination and give it to
one of the other candidates, though not Rockefeller. In such ali event
Nixon would be the likely gainer. Both sides are investing heavily
in the California primary. Rockefeller, for example, is paying
more than the going rate to professional signature gatherers for
his nomination petition. He is also bitting. heavily on the Birch
'theme, an issue not to be discounted in California. Goldwater forces
are staging a rally in Madison Square Garden on May 12 which they
hope to televise in California, which w11l' demonstrate Goldwater
support in the liberal East.

been continuously associated
with it giving his time and skill
to insure its success. In pay­'
ing tribute -to the American
. Shakespeare Festival Theatre
this year, President LyUdon B.
Johnson wrote that the reper­tory
company "has brought
Shakespeare's great works··to
tens of thousands of persons
from all over the world and
has given inspiration and lead­ership
to all those who strive
to make the theatre a living
'force in,our nation."
The Executlve Producer has .
been described' as the "man
who works hardest at no pay
for the American Shakespeare
Theatre." Formerly with the
"Chattanooga Times, Joseph
Reed made his entry into the'
theatre on Labor Day, 1929
when he formed with Kenneth
MacGowan, a producing team
whose first play "Children of
Darkness" was well received
critically, but financially, a
failure. other plays that they
produced during the next five
years included Benn Levy's
"Art and Mr. Bottle" which
gave Katherine Hepburn her
first successful role. He cred­its
the "Twelfth Night" with
awakening him to the "fascina­tion
of putting on Shakespeare."
Out of this theatrical experience
Reed wrote The Curtain Falls
which describes the problems of
producing on Broadway.
Elliot Norton, noted drama
critic and Shakespearean lec­turer,
will moderate a' panel
discussion which is scheduled
among the events of the Day.
Members of the panel will be
Margaret Webster the noted
Shakespearean director and ac­tres,
s, Joseph Reed, Dame Jud':'
ith Anderson and two resident
directors from the Festival,
Douglas Seale and Allen Fletch­er.
The panel of experts will
discuss the varying. styles an<:\,
changes in acting and staginlb
Shakespeare which have taken
place in our time. Margar.et,
Webster has written, "I have
directed, acted in, ,or see,n
. Shakespeare almost every­Where,
from the Comedie Fran- _
caise to a football fieldj with ~
costumes of every period from
Early Bathrobe to Early Robot;
played by every kind of actor,
from 6th grade to Gielgudj and
to every sort of audience from
royalty to Bantu tots. It doesn't
seem to make much difference
to Shakespeare. He just keeps
rolling along."
Incorvorated into the Day's
activities will be the awarding,
of an honorary Doctor of Hu..
mane Letters 'degree to Dame
Judith Anderson for her con­tributions
to Shakespearean in­terpretations.
Judith Ander­son's
most noted Shakespearean
role has been Lady' Macbeth
which she first played in. 1937
at London's Old Vic Theatre.
Her first New York appearance
was at the Old Fourteenth
Theatre and her fitst triumph
as a performer was in 1924
as Elise Van Zile in The Cobra.
In announcing the speCial cel­ebration,
the President of Fair­field

both a responsibility and a joy
for a university to pay special
tribute to the writer who lIas
enriched the curriculum of gen­erations

MERCHANDISING TRAINERS
T. Gerald Magner, Jr., a sen­ior
from Winnetka minois is
this week's sports personaiity.
Gerry has recently been elected
captain of the stags' tennis team.
Gerry graduated from New
Trier High in Winnetka where
he participated widely in athlet­ics.
He played three years of
basketball for his high school
team. After being seeded fourth'
in doubles team competition in
. Chicago, he was seected to
captain his high school .squad.
For the past six years, Gerry
has played under tennis great,
Magda Rurac. Miss Rurac is an
all-time top tennis star in the
worn e n's division throughout
Europe.
As a sophomore at Fairfield,
Gerry combined with classmate
Walt Donnelly to capture the
Rider lnvitationai, at Rider Coi~
lege in New Jersey. This doubles
team combination has a phenom­enal
three year record of 24
wins and only 3 scant loses. They
are undefeated thus far this sea­30n
in three matches. Gerryalso
has a good-looking 11-4 mark in
singles ,competition. He relies­mainly
on his very powerful and
effective forehand smash as his
favorite shot.
Gerry sees that the over-all
strength of the tennis squad is
fair. "Although we have a very
respectable group, 1 find that
ouruver-all strength could be a
bit improved. We have a good
crew of boyS playing good, ef­fective
tennis and I doubt that
we should be troubled by any of
the opposition besides a strong
Fordham team. We're definitely
headed for another winning sea­son.
and I'm sure our strength
will improve as the season goes
on.w Commenting on next season
when our one-two combination
will be graduating, he says, "As
for next year, although it will
-be a rebuilding year, I know of
three freshmen who have shown
great potential and hope they will
develop enough to play a real
good game ?f tennis." -
STAG NETMEN

Stags managed only one victory
and that was. gained by Gerry
Magner and Walt Donnelly in the
first doubles. The 8-1 loss was
the Stag netiii~~'s first setback,
but they. added another win when
the U.B~ team visited our as­phalt
courts, on ArpU 1Hth. Fr.
Ring's team made their strong­est
showing of the year as they
shutout the Purple Knights 9-0,
whUe dropping only .one set, this
coming in the first singles where
Walt Donne.ly was forced to three
sets by Lenny Bathstein.
On Saturday, April 25th the
team travelled to Amherst,
Mass., to continue their series
with the Univ. of Mass. The
well c 0 a c h e dd Massachusetts
. squad proved to strong for the
visitors. Captain Gerry Magner '
gave the Stags their only vic­tory
of the day with a well
played 6-3, 5-7, 6-2 win over
Bob Neal of U. Mass. In the first
dOUbles Roger Twitchell and Neal
-handed Magner and Donnelly their
first)oss of the year, 9-7, 7-5.
Fr. Ring fielded the same team
in all these matChes, using Don­nelly,

Matt Carroll, Leo Paquette, and
Dick Westall in the singles. The
doubles teams are Magner-Don­nelly,

43 year old Warren Spahn, a
somewhat outstanding lefthander
of repute, hurled the 351st vic­tory

-As the baseball season begins
to shape up, the better players
are begmning to find their mark,
.get their swings in the groove ana
terrorize the pitchers. No one is
more in the groove right now than
the fantastic Willie Mays of the
San Francisco Giants.
As of this wirting, Willie is
hitting .500, with 7 homers and
17 rUns batted in. One doubts
that his fielding is SUffering.
r--., Mays has been a streak hitter
in the past and the Giants a
streak wirining team, leading the
league until July 1st and then'
taking the nose dive Bay Area
fans have come to expect. How­ever,
Willie is great enough to
keep up this kind of play and
there are few people around with
a better chance at the coveted
triple crown. Mays has been con­sistently
great in the past but
1e's yet to throw everything into
)ne big year. He's 33 years old
now, and there aren't that many
big years left, so this just might
be the year Giant fans aFe wait­ing
for and Mays deserves it.
The Giants should be in the race
all the way and this reporter
picks them to take the National
League crown.
One of the other great super­stars
of the past decade, Mickey
Mantle of the Yankees, is also
beginning to hit his stride.
~ Mantle, hitting about .330 at the·
time of this writing, could pro­duce
a fantastic year if, and its
a big if, he can av~id injuring
himself.

A muddy track and a persis­tent
rain storm aided' the valiant

The late John McGraw once
said, "April showers bring May
flowers but you can't play base­ball
on a wet field." The first
two weeks of the intramural soft­ball
season have been plagued by
ra i n y weather. OUt of eight
scheduled games, only four have
been completed.
With nine teams in the league
and only three weeks left in the
semester, the weekly schedule
wUl be stepped up to eight or
nine games. This will mean that
each team will play two games
a week. ,
Games will begin at 3: 15 and
4:30•• Awards will be made on
the basis of games completed
at the end of the season.
The spirit displayed so far
for softball has been commend­able.
The competition has been
fierce, but taken ina light,sports­manlike
view. This spring sport
is also being played on Satur- .

THE SPOR,TS DESK
As the 1~63-64 school year draws to a dose, the Sports
Desk takes a glance behind 'and a look ahead on· the ,athletic
plane here at Fairfield.
This past year has seen tremendous improvement, both
in regard to quantity and quality in our 'Sports ,program.
The number of inte~colleg£ate sports was increased by the
addition of golf, socrer and rugby, while rhe improvement
in the Varsity Basketi>all team was self-evident. The Varsity
basebaH team also improved although its betterment will be
more gradual than the basketball t-eams.
While the soccer team had a not-to--'SUtC'cessful debut, the
foundation has been laid ~or future winning teams. The
most important thing is that the school can easily support
a fuB squad in the future - there'll always be enough play­ers
to go around.
The rugby team had an excellent fall season with a 3-1
mark and took second place in the Van Cortlandt Park
seven-a-side tournament on November 30. However, this
spring the club has run into a rash of injuries and is still
looking for its first win. Out of the fifteen men who started
the spring season of Fairfield's A team, six have missed at
least one game and more are quest!onable for the next game.
The golf team has been ,re-established here at the Univer­sity
after a break of several years. This team is a very wel­come
addition to the sports progllam .here and the golf team
should bring home manyvi'Ctories in the future.
Looking to the future, next year willI see the Cross Coun­try,
Spring track and tennis teams embarking on rebuilding
programs. M'any of the seniors who will graduate this year
held key positions on these teams. and the teams will cer­tainly
feel this loss.
Next year will see an even better Varsity basketball team,
pll<lying a .much tOhgher sohedule 'and attracting more nation­al
attentIOn. NeXt year's freshman basketball team, if things
go o~~2~aY'-'could eI<lsily be the best in the history of rhe
school. Once again, the seniors will be missed but the trio
of sophom~res that formed the nucleus of this year's team
will be back and that's no cause for weeping.
Tge soccer team. will be playing its~first ,official schedule
next year and may have it tough for 'awhHe but it always
takes time to develop a power in any sport.
T'he rugby team should have a great fall season next year
'but will have to avoid injuries in the spring to post a good
. slate. -Th~r~ were no seniors on this year's squad, so the
wh6Ietef,\J,n will return as well as some of the players who
dicln;tcompete in the spring.
The basebaH team next year will continue to improve as
it has this year and if Coach John Redw'ay can fill the posi­tions
held by graduating seniors and build a pitching staff,
.they should post a good record. The team is a fairly young
one this year, so it shouldn't be too hard to do just that.
This is a growing school and every part of it must grow
together. AtHletics are an integral part 'of a u~iversity, in­deed,
of learning, and cantlot be neglec,ted. This school's
athletic facilities are always improving. AU it needs are stu­dents
to participate.

Parillo fanned· eight batters
anq allowed only four scattered
balls to be hit out of the infield.
His hitless performance was at­t!'
ibuted' to his curve ball which
was kept low and broke beauti­fUlly
throughout the contest.
Last summer, he practiced
under former Brooklyn Dodger
relief ace, Joe Black. "He
said that my curve ball was
good. He hE:lped me to learn
to throw harder and to keep my
pitches lOW," the hurler noted.
On Saturday, April 18, Fair­leigh
Dickenson handed Fairfield
an 11-0 loss New Jersey field.
Sophomore pitcher Ed Boulos
was charged with the defeat as
the opponents scored early in
the game.
April 17 was another tough
day for the Stag nine as another
decision was dropped to Rider
College by the same score. Pitch­er
Chris Pa1ll0 started the game
and was c'harged with the loss,
however he was relieved by three
other relief pitchers throughout
the nine innings. The squad man­aged
four hits off the opposition,:

errors to benefit the winners.

Senior hurler Chris Parillo
pitched a brilliant no-hitter last
Wednesday againstthe University
of Bridgeport and dropped the
contest 2-1, due to a pair of
unearned runs.
All the scoring came in the
second frame as the Stags opened
the scoring with a lone run in
the top of the inning. Shortstop
Bob Batch reached second on a
two-base throwing error, by the
DB second-baseman. Stag sec'­ond-
baseman Al Vestro hit a
tremendous drive over the trees
in right field which went for
a ground-rule double, thus send­ing
in Batch to score.
However, in the bottom of the
inning, Parillo hit the lead off
batter and then overthrew first
base on a sacrifice bunt. This
wild throw to first allowed one
unearned run to score as the
batter hustled to third. The
second unearned run of the inning
then crossed the plate on an in­field
grounder. It was a shame
that such a pitching perform­ance
had to be marred by costly
errors.

Pitcher Ed Boulos started for
the nine and was charged with the
defeat as the batters collected
only a handful of hits to support
the hurler. Shortstop Ed Skoczy­las
singled to lead off the fourth
frame. Outfielder Mike Kelley
reached second on an infield
error, driving the runner home

scoring Kelley. As Rossi was
racing towards second base, the
defending second-bagger from
New Haven interfered as he de­layed
him long enough to be tagged
out on a run-down play atthe bag.
The umpire did not see this inter­ference
with the base-runner, as
the Stag rally was muffled.
The Stag record todate is 1-7-1.
Holy Cross downed the Stag
baseball squad 9-1, on Saturday,
April 25, at the Wor'cester field.
Fairfield was held to four hits
throughout the game as the nine
managed the one run in the sec­one
inning. Captain Dick Robin­son
led off the second frame with
a solid single to center. He pro­ceeded
to second on an infield out
by outfielder Bart Rossi, and he
then scooted onto third base when
the Crusaders' hur\er pitched
wildly over batter Ed Boulos'
head. Ed then took advantage of
the miscue by driving in Robin­son
from third with a clutch
single to center.
Second baseman Al Vestro tag­ged
the ball for the most solid
hit of the game in the ninth inning.
The hit was a tremendous drive
that sailed deep into the right­field
corner just short of a home
run as the outfielder grabbed it,
for the final out of the game.
The final two Stag hits came
by the bats of shortstop Ed
