The sfx student members of
the Academic Forum will submit
their reports of this semesters
study to Dean Coughlin this week. I
The courses treated were nonmajor
courses in Theology, history,
. language, general science,
sociology-psychology and English.
Fr. Coughlin reque sted that
the Forum study the general education
offered here at Fairfield.
His reason for this was that
many high school students were
entering with advanced work behind
them, and today's graduate
schools are highly specialized in
one field of study.
Forum members formulated
their reports from the response
received from students in the'
courses studied. These reports
will be used by Fr. Coughlin as
approximately one third of his
data in evaluating the merit of
Fairfield's general education
courses. The other two thirds
consists of two reports by Doctors
DiRenzo and Murphy.

to the Rector on Class Day,
June 7.
The library ·contains some
60,000 volumes at the present

is necessary for the Library to
grow at a rate at least equal to
that of the rest of the school.

Webster To Receive
Degree From Fairfield
Margaret Webster, a Shakespearean by birth, and the greatest
woman director of Shakespeare productions, will take part in the
University's festivities celebrating the Bard's quadricentenniaI. She
will receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree at the
convocation here, May 16. The famed director will also take part in
the panel discussion on "Changing styles of Presenting Shakespeare."
Margaret Webster, whose father and great-grandfather devoted a
lifetime to Shakespeare, has earned the rare distinction in the theatre
of being an outstanding director of Shakespeare's plays. Among her
more noteworthy effor~ have been the staging of Maurice Evans'
RICHARD II which up to her time had not been seen on Broadway
since 1878; and the Evans HAMLET which was the first full-length
version ever preSented in New York.-----------__~
She also scored successes with ..
her direction of Helen Hayes and'
Evans in TWELFTH NIGHT, with
Judith Anderson in MACBETH,
with Paul Robeson in OTHELLO,
. and Canda Lee in THE TEMPEST.
Drama critic George Jean Nathan
called her "the best director of
the plays of Shakespeare that we
have."
She has staged THE MERCHANT
OF VENICE at startford
on Avon and MEASURE FOR
MEASURE at the Old Vic. For
two seasons she toured her own
Shakespearean Company from
coast to coast. In addition, she
was a co-founder with Eve Le
Gallienne of the American Repertory
Theatre and was the first
woman to stage opera at the
"Met" (DON CARLO, AIDA, and
SIMON BOCCANEGRA). Miss
Webster has also played Shakespearean
roles and is the author
of SHAKESPEARE WITHOUT
TEARS.

To The Editor:
Last Sunday I and a girl from the University
of Bridgeport went to see what we
felt would be an evening of enjoyable entertainment.
It was more.
Together we shared along with an en,
raptured audience three houseofbriIliant,
exciting theater. _
Mr. Emerichs' production and unique
presentation of MACBETH was thrilling. I
left our Fairfield University stage completely
moved, knowing I had witnessed a
spectacular drama. I will not be so bold as .
'; to assume the position of a critic, be,
cause my endeavors would only effect
boring reading matter. But I would like to
comment on the great acting of our
stUdents. '
The sense of pride felt for my colIege
is beyond my sparse vocabulary. SUch intense
moments I have selfom felt for anything
or anybody. lowe that unique feeling
to my felIow students who labored heavy'
i h()~rs to create such a masterpiece. Men
like Jim Majoros and Bob McDonald, to
whom I am deeply indebted. '
'. At the last show, many students were
,turned away because our small but:
"PLUSH" theater could not accommodate,
all. Who is the culprit who says the
show must terminate its record breaking,
,yet all too short run? What man has the
right to rob us of the once in a lifetime
chance to teel the titillation of love? This
'show cannot .stop now! Enough students have
,not been lr3~'en the ,opportunity of seeing
-this tribuhf fo our school.
, You 'aTe!Jprobably alI wondering when I
am going to arrive at my complaint, for I
:have never read a letter in the stag that
did not complain about,or propose something.
Far be it from me to be an ex,:,
ceotion.
I aetvocate, beg, and yes, Father, even
supplicate that this show be extended for
another seven performances; The'se special
shows would be only for those students
who have been so flagrantly robbed,
of something we crave and need. The cost,
of each show must be made rock bottom
so that all barriers are removed.
But the weary actors shout, "What
about those exams?"
I suggest that every actor ofprill)e
importance be granted anacademicdeferrment
until all students desiring to see it
have been satisfied. Many of those teachers
who were also enthralled by one of eight
MACBETH showings agree that it would be
an egregious error to kilI Macbeth now before
he had a chance to live and grow and'
impress alI.
If you students want something of true
value for which to petition, your ideal
moment is at hand. I entreat you te start
immediately before they bury a great,
great s.how. stags arise! I promise you an
evening of unparalleled pleasure and
stimultion. If after" seeing the performance
yo\.! feel I falsely cajoled,Ipromise
t() replace your money. Come on stags!
Let us re,ally go marching in! Don"t let
this opportunity pass you by.
If ttiis is any indication onhe potential
here at Fairfield, then the adage that
Fairfield is the Notre Dame of the East
- will h.,~..ome Notre Dame is'the Fairfield
of the West.

f.reshman Questions
Off-campus Status
To the editor:
When I was accepted at Fairfield University,
I was toid, as were many dthers,
of the lack of dormitory space for incoming,
FRESHMEN, and that I would be
forced to stay in a private home for a year;
my FRESHMAN year. My parents' were,
(and still are) against this, but under the
assumption that this off-campus liVing
would only be FOR A YEAR, they con-
.sented.
, Two weeks ago I had a rude awakening.
As my freshman year ends, I find that I,
and many others, may once again next
year be forced to ;'enjoy" the "advantages"
of off-campus liVing. It seems
that, there is not enoUgh room for all the
sophomores who wish to live in the dorms.
This is highly probable. But I somehow
fail to see the justice of a freshman living
on campus, while a veteran of one year of
torrential rains, raging blizzards,llnd constant
thumbing is forced to go through
another year of it.
I" and many other freshmen, want "on. "
We aren't asking for a miracle; only for
what WaE promised us. Now that the big
topic is our new constitution.shouldn'tw€
have a little justice in the "front' office"
to go with it?
Sincerely,

the benefit of the school as a whole.
Our unique playhouse had its second
successful season. The Student Government
has at least made a beginning
the outcome of which remains to be
seen. Sports has made :its contribution
this year with the new rugby team
and with a fine showing in the face
of challenge.
This is not meant to be an allinclusive
coverage of the past year
but a picture that touches upon the
highpoints sufficiently welI to prove
that the year has been of worth. In
brief, the above represents what we
,have done. but there is ,another side
to this coin. What we have not done
is nawralIy less pleasant to remem,
oer, but it would be wrong to .try
to avoid it. Nevertheless. it will serve
.no purpose now to turn in against
ourselves wi,th reproach and regret'
for what has not been accomplished.
'Time is too short. and next year is
a fresh start. So, with oW' focus on
the ground ahead we shalI n!Jt forget
the undone that is behind us, but
we shalI put it in its proper place.
The STAG hopes that this year
is a point of departure not of contented
arrival at which we plan to
stay. The progress that has been made
this year is gone, it is already a part
of what we are or should be. Next
year we must move forward from
this or we wilI falI back. There is
no standing still. This is why the
STAG hop~s to see greater fulfilIment
of what has been started. 'and a
tough-minded determination ,about
those things that were lacking.
Year-end is a time tor inventory.
This will be the last issue of the
STAG before classes adjourn until
next"Fall. For the students of Fairfield
this is year-end. Since this time
is and has been customary for the
looking-back to see what one has
done or not done, the STAG now
pauses to turn and view the tracks
Fairfield University has left in the
path of Academic Year 1963-1964.
Perhaps everyone has forgotten by
now the victories of, our ColIege
Bowl team. ana the boost this gave
not only to matters academic but also
to the formation of a more definite
spirit and personality for our school.
The Publicity Office under new direction
made significant contributions
'towards a better-known Fairfield that
were both original and imaginative.
Our' Bellarmine Lecture Series was
by far the best yet. The Symposium
on the Behaviorial Sciences and the
up-coming commemoration of
Shakespeare's Anniversary are two of
the finest events to take place on campus.
Perhaps the most important'
development this year, however. has
been the changes in curriculum and
the great deal of thinking that has
been evidenced in the areas of Fairfield's
academic betterment. The credit
above all goes to our Dean of
Studies.
We have seen other advancements'
also. The formation of the Film
Society has brought a widening of
cultural and artistic interest., The
combined efforts of the political clubs
to have a well. informed student body

On May 16, Professor Wilhelm
Magnus of the celebrated
Courant Institute of Mathematical
Sciences will be "Guest LechIrer"
at the Inservice Institute
for Mathematics and Science
Teachers (sponsored by the Nation
Science Foundation), according
to Professor Robert E. Bolger,
associate director of the Institute.
Professor Magnus was born in
Berlin, Germany, and received
his Ph.D. at Frankfurt, Germay
in 1931. Dr. Magnus was a
Roc.kefeller Foundation Fellow
during the academic year 19341935.
He was a member of the
faculty at Gottingen from 1945 to
1948 and on the faculty of the
California Institute of Technology
at Pasadena from 1948 to 1950.
Dr. Magnus has been at the Courant
Institute since 1950.
Professor Magnus is a
specialist in Group Theory, Electromagnetic
Waves and Special
Functions of mathematical physics.
His publications include an
article on Group Theory which
appeared in the Encyclopedia of
Mathematical Sciences (2nd German
edition); and applications of
Elliptic Functions (in German and
Polish). He has also worked on
"Higher Transcendental Functions"
(Bateman Project3
vOl$.) and is a co-author with
Fritz Oberhettinger of "Special
Functions of Mathematical Physics"
which has appeared in both
German and English.
. tpe subjects of Professor
Magnus' lecture will be "FuChtap:
Groups" and"Automorphic
Fun ti6ns." The activities will
'begll1' at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday
morning, May 16~ in Room 212
in Xavier Hall, with an initial
lecture by Dr. Magnus from 9:00
to 10:00. This will be followed
by Coffee and discussion until
10:30 and then Dr. Magnus will
continue.
erally approved, but some suggested
more relation with other

Dogmatics ',vaf> viewed as not'
relating such important questions
as the redemption and human
rights. "Theology and Sanctity"
was condemned as not being a
college text book. The Layman
in the Church was scored as
being idyllic in one class and'
appreciated by the other for its
lack of work and its open spirit
in class discussion.
'The report on underclass English
stressed the opinion of students
that the courses we re not of
a collegiate nature in many cases.
Such techniques as "popular
novelS," "rationalistic rhetoric"
and a general lack of
depth were heavily criticized by
'students. The report recommended

The general science students
stated there was too much
memory and too little appreciation
for the scientific method. It
was advised that science courses
should be gi ven earlier to inJerest
possible majors. A suggestion
was made that biology,
physies and chemistry should be
incorporated into one general
science course stressing method
rather than details. Also mentioned
was that laboratory work
should be stressed.
Some students of theology requested
that courses be more applicable
to their spiritual lives
and that they answer some of the
contem'}orary questions. Others
felt courses should be more challenging
to traditional religious
structures of thinking. The Scripture
courses were described as
stressing minor details instead
of meaning. World Religions was
the most popular course, and
found the most interesting. Sacram~

Miss Webster
fr..,nt. flOm page 1)
Webster, -actor-m'anager of the
Theatre Royal, London, was the
first person in 200 years to play
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
on an open stage, and with the
Christopher Sly scenes included.
He own father, Ben Webster
III, was noted for his Shakespearean
roles. He played with
Henry Irving and Eleen Terry.
Margaret Webster was born during
a New York engagement of
her father and her actress
mother, Dame May Whitty.
"My parents objected to a stage
career with the usual insincerity
of theatrical parents," says Miss
Webster. At the age of eight she
performed in a Nativity play di,
i.'e<;'8d oy Ellen Terry~SlIe mari;:,
her professional debut in Sybil
Thorndike's performance of THE
TROJAN' WOMEN. Her first
Shakespearean role was at the age
of twenty as the Gentlewoman in
'John Barrymore's London presentation
of HAMLET, an appearance
remarkable for the fact that
immediately after her entrance
the lights went out for three
minutes.
Her first real assigilment as
a director was drilling eight
hundred women for an outdoor
presentation of HENRY VIII. Af- .
ter this she was continouslybusy
as an actress and director, with
directing c h 0 res gradually
crowding out personal ap-perances.

On the Road
The day would be ahotone. Jeannot Lapin could tell that the moment
he crawled out of his bunk and heard a locust humming in the trees. It
was pretty early in the morning for locusts. Jeannot stretched and
felt good all over, even though he remember this, would be his last
day home.
So Mere Lapin packed a little lunch for him right after breakfast,
and Jeannot set out to spend the day at his thinkin' place, under the
great Mulberry tree near the grove of Mimosa. When he had waved a
fond good-bye and started on his climb over the seventh hill, he took
,a deep, breath, gazed all arou'nd, and decided it was such a beautiful
day he just couldn't believe it. "If only I could comprehend," he
thought, feeling he could sink down to his knees and stay there
forever.
But before long 'he reached his place and spread out the big polkadot
hankerchief that belonged to - who else but their farmer
friend, and lay down to read in the Mulberry shade. The whole day
passed like that in an ocean's breath, so that Jeannot couldn't tell
, if he'd been there half· a second or all his life.
The sun was setting though, and he got up to leave. A lilac scent
carried to him on one of the sun's last rays, knocking him off balance
for a second and mixing up his sense of- time. Jeannot turned to go. A
wren down the hill spied his funny silhouette hopping down the hill,
all laden down with his equipage and accented against the rosey sky.
Gradually he disappeared, carrying with him the joys of another day.

Well, for some lucky seniors, this will be the last Onion Patch
they'll see. Sometimes, you know, the writer of such a column can get
a guilty conscience, because it is his job to point out things for
criticism. No matter how much of worth he sees, he sees things that
can be better. And he sees others that are radically wrong. An unbalanced
picture can result from not reading all that's between the
lines. '
, So enjoy this, your last Onion Patch. I've got no. criticisms for

experience, or an attitude, or even of a single word casually spoken.
I can remember some, and I thank you for it.

.Fairfield could undoubtedly field
another undefeated track squad

Beneath this fascade of
seriousness, Bruce is usally considered
as an easy-going fellow
with a practical joker nature. Who
can forget the Westport Incident
last year in thw ooded wilds of '
. Westport with a couple of "shotup"
basketball players! It is also
a widely accepted fact to the class
(and faculty) that from Bruce
are ignited many of the campus'
pranks, "loud" or otherWise.
'This sumllJer Bruce and a
couple of classmates plan to work
their way out west, across the
country. A marketing major in
BBA, ,Bruce will be commissioned
a lieutenant in the Marine
Corps this coming September
and looks toward the future
with the Marines,
We hope that our track captain
will break the tape to the top in
the Marine Corps, as he's done on

why don't you?
James Bond is back, but
not until May 20th in his
new incredible adventure
Thb week's spJrts personality
is an easy-going track tri-captain,
Bruce Linsky.
Bruce, a 6'1", 165 pound sellior
from Metuchen High School,
New Jersey, ran track at Metuchen
and was a sprinter on the
Ne:w Jersey state CYO cham-
'pionship track team as a senior.
Bruce participates in a wide
variety of events as his prowess
on the ciders is displayed by his
diversity, He is usually seen
, runrring the short sprints which
: include the 100 and 220 yard
dashes. This sprinter is the
'team's num::>er one man in the
hop, skip and jump event, and
has been clocked in the low
hurdles in a fast 26.9 seconds one-
tenth of a second short ofthe
school record. Bruce runs the anchor
leg of the 440 relay and
when he finds time, he also enjoys
the broad-jump in which his
jump of 21
'
5" is two inches below
the school record.
During his three year career
on the track squad, Bruce has at-,
tained many honors and distinguished
himself as one of the best
runners in Fairfield history. As a
sophomore at the College Track
Conference, a meet held after
each track season, Bruce took
-fourth place in the broad-jump
and won a medal for the Stag
cause. Last year, however, he
was not able to participate in this
annual contest due to a bruised
. ankle, an injury he received while
jumping in the last meet of the
season; he anxiously awaits the
CTC meet this year and hopes for
other medals in his usual fashion.
Last season, he ended the year
as high scorer with 85 points.
This point total is a school record
and he has a good chance to
break it again this year before he
graduates.
Bruce would like to see the condition
and care of the 'track improved
as he calls the condition
of the track 'for the recent
High School Invitational Track
Meet, held two weeks ago, as
"'pitiful preparation." In feference
to the team's record
which stands at f - 5", he says,
"The squad is losing due to three
reasons. First of all, our two
top runners were in:u:eu in the
beginning of the seas'on and-their
points were sorely missed. Not
having a great number of boys
running, we had to depend largely
on these two fellow's and once they
were hurt, so, was the team. Also,
the poor scheduling of meets was
another reason. We ran three
meets in the week immediately
after the Easter break,Cand, of
course, Bermada didn't exactly
help the situation any), a time
when the team as a whole was
out of shape. Thirdly, and least,
bad weather has held off practice
sessions thus hindering the boys
-~ from getting into shape."
"Competition is really getting
l' ough and the oppositions' underclassmen
is what is hurting us,
most. What we need are our own
Frosh to take up next year. We
have a handful of Frosh that have
tremendous potential in varsity
, track but they won't take the disciplined
initiative that is required
to run track. If these fellows
wo~ld discipline themselves,

times in the fifth as Skoczylas '
singled to left which was followed
by three free passes to
Mike' Kelley, Dick Robinson, and
AI Vestro. Vestro's walk forced
in the first run. Bob Batch
knocked in the second run with an
infield grounder to Short-steip,
sending Robinson to third base.
Robinson scooted home for the
final run of the inning on the
pitcher's wild pitch. Another run
was picked up in· the seventh inning
as a hard-hit double to deep
left field by Bob Batch sent in
Vestro from first who had
reached first on a walk. The final
run of the game was Don Pijar's
tremendous drive over the right
field fence. This was the first
home run of the season for the
batmen.
The Stags played one of their
best' games all season in this
second U.B. contest as the nine
collected seven hits off of U.B.'s
number one hurler, Pete Diatelevi.
Also, Skoczylas went an
identical three for five in both
games for afantastic six for ten
in the two games.
On May 2, the Stag nine dropped
a 5-0 contest to the Vikings of
Upsala College, at the East
Organe, New Jersey field.
The batmen managed five hits'
but the four errors committed in
the field were.costly. The bright
spot in the game was Bob Batch's
hitting performance as he went
three for four for the day.
Pitcher Bill McNamarapitched
a good game as the Stags lost
another Collegiate League Game.

Last Friday, May 8, the University
of Hartford defeated the
baseball squad 4-3 at the Hartford
campus.
The Stags played an imprel?sive
gam'~, collecting eight hits for the
day and seemed to have the game
under control until the last of
the eighth when two costly runs
were given up.
In the third inning, Ed Boulos
singled and took thrid on Skoczias'
double. Bart Rossi then
singled driving in both runs. Bart
also homered in the fifth inning,
collecting all three runs batted in
for the afternoon.
The stags were ahead 3-2 going
into the bottom of the eighth.
The opposing pitcher reached
first on an error-'and scored on a
long single to right field. The
base-runner advanced to third
base on the catcher's single and
came around to score the winning
tally on Parillo's balk. Parillo
had been pitching a good game up
.to this point as hard luck again
frustrated the Stags.
Bart Rossi had two hits for
four. at bats and collected all
the r.b.i.'s for the Stag cause.
In a Collegiate League game,
on April 30, the Stags were
downed by the University of
Bridgeport, 8-6, on the home
field.
Pitcher Chris Parillo tried to .
avenge his no-hit loss ot this
same team just one-and-a-half
weeks before but sloppy fielding
which yielded seven errors was
too much to overcome.
The stags scored once in the
third inning on SkocZlas' single
to left and took second on an
.infield error. He scored on Captain
Dick Robinson's single. The
batmen crossed the plate thre~

by crisp paSSing.
In the B game against Manhattan,
tries were scored by
Jim Sullivan, swift stag hooker
and Ray McDermott, who by his
own admission broke thru nine
tackles on the way. Bob Perry
made both conversions as the B's
defeated Manhattan's B's 10-6.
This Friday, the Harvard Business
School will sponsor a sevena-
side tournament in Boston and
the Fairfield Club will send a
seven man contingent to compete.
Looking for a chance to resurrect
.the season, this team could take a
few honors, as this type of tour":
nament is made to order for the
Stags. However, the competition
will be extremely tough with
teams from MIT, Dartmouth,
Yale, Harvard, Brown and the
Business School itself.
