band emphasizes dance ability,
yet with modem voicing.
Much of the band's fine sound
lies In its abl1Jty to have re­tained
an unchanged sideman
personnel through the past few
years, a situation quite uncom­mon
in the band business. Many
of his sidemen have played with
such bands as Tommy Dqrsey
and Glenn Miller, and the band
has made a persistent etrort to
bring new life to the dance
band field.

Fr. Gallarelli said that he
thought the students conducted
themselves well considering the
circumstances, seeing their pd·

American coUeges and universities face many problems to­day,
and among the very greatest is; the turn out of the mediocre
student. WhOe this is not of so much concern in the secu.Iar
schools I think many catholic instltutiqns have been worried for
some time and are taking steps to improve the situation. Evi­dence
of this lies in the advances Notre Dame University has
made in recent years. Fairfield University Is not unburdened in
this respect, and it seems to me that this should be the primary
consideration of us aU as a community qf higher learning.
What I mean by the mediocre student is the feDow who goes
throUgh four years of college and ttlma to (ace society as what
Hobbes called a "civilized animal but not actually human" IJe..
cause rqr all his education he possesses not much more tban
polite middle class society demands of him. It has been the
unforhmate place of the catholic college to produce such people,
and just within recent years have many of them awakened to
the situation and to action aboUt it. At Fairfield we certainly
C8nnQt accuse our administration of unawareness or of inac­tivity.
but netiher can we deny that there is a great deal more
to be done. Students, too, are most importantly included in this
for the chamcted of the School depends heavily on the character
of the student body. And here we run straight Into one oJ. the
main reasons for mediocrity at Fairfteld.
In number the majority of our students come from tbe
middle class. Now I mean no Insult to classes of peqple except
in so far as any class deserves criticism, but is it not conceivable
that the rut of mediocrity is perpetuated by the kind of pres.
sures the middle class in America today given to Its sons? Is it
a good thing for a scbQol to have so many from one particular
sec~lon of one particular class? I grant that the solution to this
problem is a complex and ditricult one but if the purpose of our
University is to truly educate are there nQt wayS to overcome
the type of mentality which breeds personal stagnation?
These ways. I speak of are nol only things that the ad­ministration
can do, but also methods by which the llincere
student can help himself, for mediocrity Is not bom of QDf! cause
alone. Many schools have found thllt their faculties are not
complete if they restrict tbemalvee to the t.eaeber with rec:os­nized
quallfleatlons. '!bey have found it profitable tq bring to
their students as instrUctors or lecturers men of controversy or
unusuality from all ftelds of human interest. Even If it be a small
college this Is possible, and all will agree that to evaluate a
faculty merely by the number of Ph. D.s present and at what
universities these were obtal.ned is ridiculQus and dangerous. I
do not say that this Is necess.arlly done at Fairfield, but I do
think there Is room for imaginative develoPment of more diver­sified
faculties in aU departmentS, and one of the ways this can
be done would be a right step in other directiQf1S, that is by the
institution of unlimited cuts.
Mediocrity Is not 80 much a necessary evil which we always
have with us as it is a state of mind in each one of us. The
mediocre are not those who fallon the average line with regard
LQ marks, but they are those who are led by pressures from
within and from without to a pOsition o( stagnation. Tbey will
take no risks, and are afraid to Invest themselves In anything
that does not realize a monetary profiL I have done no more
than tQ toss llJ"OWK1 but a few Ideas on the situation. but it is
ccrtai.n that there Beed aot be any mediocre student on this

Furthermore, even though we

At the close of this, the first
semester in which the Student
Court has operated, I feel It ap­propriate
that I report to )'Ou
our progress.
As of this date the spectrum

the Court, which you made pos­sible
last spring by your vote,
has spoken for you and spoken
well. I cannot speak highly
enough of the eight associates
appointed tQ the Court with me.
This In Itself Is enough to dispel
any feelings of apprehension on
the part of the Administration.
Unfortunately, you have not
been able to attend our COlll't

What is It that, after flght:lna for two

izing the cheers of the student
body. Nevertheless, the appeals
of the Student Government and
the newly formed cheer leaders
have gone unheeded by the Ath­letic
Department and it now faHs
upon the STAG to speak out.
We ask the Athletic Depart­ment
to reconsider its ruling in

of the money invested in
his education, has validity only
when the professor meets his
obligation to eommunicate some
knowledge (meaningful know­ledge)
in that elass. We feel that
the student has an obligation to
learn; learning is living, and
therefore the student should not
be obligated to attend a "dead"
elass. Learning is a two-way
street; it demands responsibility
from both student and teacher.
As long 88 we have a system
of cuts we will have mediocrity
on the part of both student and
professor. A student will attend
a c)ass with an interesting pro­fessor
who provides him with
an intellectual stimulation, re­ganlless
of whether or not he
might be declared out of course.
With the establishment of un­limited
cuts the root of mediocri­ty
will be severed. The challenge
will have been met. Teaehers
will have to improve on their
courses.
Students will have to become
more responsible to their studies.
Perhaps f1airfield is being a little
to overproteetive. Naturally the
University is looking out for the
welfare of the student. It should!
Yet, is it seeing the trees and
avoiding the forest whenever it
hinders the student from think­ingindependenUy!
It seems that there is DOW an
attempt at improvement. Fre­quent
meetings are now being
conducted within each depart­ment;
the Aeademie Forum has
made great strides in the proper
direction, and the newly formed
seminars being conducted by the

element of intellectual curiosity
There appears to be no dyna­mism
sparked within the etas&­room.
We ask ourselves WHY?
Why is there no atmosphere of
investigation and study? We
seem to be studying to pass tests
and,not to pass life and pel8ue
truth. This could possibly be due
to the importance of the almigh­ty
mark, the key to entrance in­to
graduate school, etc.
There exists in the present
system of American education a
defect in evaluating student in­telligence.
Most pass over this
issue by saying, "Well, what else
is there?"; and rail to penue
any further investigation into
other possibilities.
Something definitely needs to
be done on the general outlook.
An answer must meet the chal­lenge
of Dr. Max Rafferty, edu­cational
author of SuRer Little
Cbildrea, who states that "we
are teaching our children trivia'"
Possibly a system can be insti­tuted
to teach our children to

that the student at Fairfield is
not being challenged - to think
and to understand. The thesis

On a ealculated guess the
STAG would estimate that 66-701
percent of the fans attending
home basketball games are stu­dents.
This 65-70 percent in­cludes
studenl'i of our own
school as well as students from
the school of the opposing team.
Based on this estimate, whieh
we feel is quite accurate, it
seems rathel' foolish for the
Athletic Dept. of the University
to deny the students the use of
a drum at home games on the
grounds that a few "paying cus­tomers"
have complained of the
noise that a drum creates. Are
not the students paying eustom­ers
as well 8E outsiders?
It is rather childish that the
STAG should have to appeal for
the use of a drum at basketbal1
games. This is especially true in

Fairfield's decision to venture into the ranks of
the "big time" is as valid now as it was when it was
presented by Head Coach George B. Bisacca two years
ago. Our record may be the cause of some skepticism
among the Stag backers but a good look at the facts
points to the wisdom of the decision of the season's
schedule.
First of all. when a team commits itself to such
a schedule, it suddenly doesn't emerge like a butterfly
from a cocoon and overpower every opponent in sight
It goes through a difficult and sometimes painful meta·
morphosis, slowly attaining national status and recog·
nition. Over a period of years, it gains a reputation
that enables it to maintain its higher ranking.
On the Slag squad this year, we have a group of
underclassmen who are undoubtedly excellent ball­players
now and who, with time, can be expected to
improve.
The scheduling of tougher, better-known teams
gives a greater audience the opportunity to see Fair­field
playa top notch quality of ball, whether it be
for a winning or losing cause. The greater the audi­ence,
the greater the number and quality of ballplay­ers
who will want to be a part of the Stag cause. Thus,
as the team improves, the record will become more
impressive and sooner or later, perhaps sooner than
we realize, the big time classification will be a reality.
As we continue with our slate, we must keep in
mind that the tougher the schedule, the better the
ball club, for soft competition is the cloak of a weak
team. The important thing is that we do have the
nucleus to build on, and at the same time, we have a
team that is attracting a great deal of favorable at­tention
as it grows.
The Providence game serves as a good example
of this latter point. The ambitious Stags battled with
P. C. all the way, finally being edged in the last min­ute
of play by a scant seven points. No one denies that
the Friars are a top club, and the fact that we nearly
upset a team in the national spotlight, and more im~
portant still, that we played their quality of ball, is
the point to keep in mind.
In the upcoming weeks, the Stags will meet. three
teams that are perennially in national rankings. The
first two, against the Bonnies of St. Bonaventure and
Boston CoJJege, will be played on the home court, fol­lowed
by an away contest in Buffalo versus the Gol­den
Griffs of Canisius. Last year, the young Stag five
upset Bob Cousy's debut with a magnificent effort,
gaining public acclaim coast to coast.
In these games, the Stags will encounter com­petition
that we'll be seeing in years to come. Pending
upon the showing against such teams ""-iJi depend the
speed with which Fairfield ",ill attain national status.
And judging from the recent Providence game, these
determined Stags will hold their own against any
team.
