The Knights of Xavier take pleasure in announcing
that their annual pre-Advent dance will be held on
Saturday, November 19, 1949 in Berchmans Hall. In
accordance with the Knights' "low price" policy, admission
is set at a comparatively low $1.25, per couple.
Students with financial difficulties are urged to take
advantage of the newly insti,tuted "credit-plan."
The mem'bers of the Dance
committee include Edward Wasil,
chairman, Francis Orlowski,
Thomas Bepko, Lawrence Halmeck,
George Jaser, Edward Capasse,
J ames Linehan, Frank
Bepko and Thomas McCalla.
The pre-iAdven't dance will
feature Joey Salle's orchesitra,
two vocalists and an accordionis't
who will take part in a combined
refreshment - entertainment
p-eriod. Skits will also be
included in the pr'Ogram of
whiah Mr. Wasil was quoted as
saying, "No stone will be leit
unturned in our efforts to please
the Student Body"
Mr. Salle hardly needs introduction
since it was his orchestra
which supplied t1he dance
music for the Junior Harvest
Hop and other major social affairs
given by the student body.
A new "credit-plan" has been
ins'tituted by the Knights to
stimulate and increase attendance
at all their dances. The plan
calls for ticket purchases by
pledges. Students desiring to attend
the dance but who cannot
d'O so because of pressing creditors,
merely sign their names to
the pledge which becomes payable
on the first day of the
month !following the dance.
Harry Coostello, President of the
Knights, and Ray Rossomando

Fairfield Univ.
Receives C.I.S.L.
The Executive Council of the
Connecticut Intercollegiate Student
Legislature held its second
meeting on Sunday, November
6, at 2:30 p.m. in Room 207,
Xavier Hall. Representa.tives of
sixteen Connecticut colleges
were present.
Two delega.tes and a faculty
advisor from each college in
Connecticut represent the Executive
Council of the C.I.S.L.
Reverend Gabriel Ryan, S.J.,
and James Conklin represented
Fairfield Universi.ty at the Council
Meeting.
Converging upon Fairfield
University from all parts of the
state, these delegates met to
put into motion, the machinery
that will eventually produce the
Student's "Mock" Legislature at
Hartford.
At this meeting, presided over
by C.I.S.L. State Chairman John
J. McNamara of Fairfield University,
the calendar for the
year was approved by the
Council. The date set for the
Legislative Session to take place
~n the Capital House, Hadford,
IS March 24 and 25. This date,
however, is subject to Governor

students of Fairfield fell about
one-fourth short of the proposed
five thousand dollar goal. Only
about one thous'and to twelve
Ihundred dollars has been submitted.
The greatest part of the
money, a'bout ninety per cent,
was submitted by the Junior
Class.
Although the goals set for each
of the classes fell short, the leaders
in the driv.e should be commended
for ,their work in their
difficult task. Only a ve:ry small
percentage of the students at
school actually sold subscriptions.
The large number of students
who have no returns yet is
appalling. If they had sold but
one su'bscription the goal may
have been attained.
Many students have sold over
twenty-five dollars worth of
subscriptions. These few are 1Jhe
ones who have kept the Drive
alive. They are to be praised for
their splendid work.
The money which the individual
classes will receive from this
Dnive will be used for their own
affairs. The tremendous cost of
a yearbook and Senior Prom,
etc. will be greatly alleviated by
the money which the classes can
raise. The Junior Class, which
has about nine hundred dollars
turned in, is well on its way' to
build a substantial amount in its
treasury to aid in lessening the
cost of the above mentioned projects,
which must be paid for by
the students themselves.
The Sophomore Class, which
has only about two hundred and
thirty dollars, will have little in
its treasury. They still have two
~ears to build. their treasury, but
If they 'continue as they have

I am beautiful; few are they who

I am noble; the fewest have any
regard for me.
I am almighty; who seeks help
from me?
I am Wisdom; who follows my

I am eternal; why is that which
passes away preferred?
I am the Way; few are they who
walk in it.
I am the Truth; few are they
who believe me.
I am the Life; they are but few
who desire me.
I am Light; only few seek for enlightenment.
I am the Judge of all the world

I condemn these ungodly
ones.
Thought For The Month
Lines from Msgr. KnoxCommunion
of Saints:
That principle of give and take
between Christians is a very
good illustration of what we
mean by the Communion of
Saints. The Church is divided
into three large bits; part of it
is on earth, part of it is in
heaven, part of it is in Purgatory.
The Church in heaven is All
Saints.
The Church in Purgatory
is All Souls.
The Church on earth is all
sorts.
We, on earth, are poorer than
the saints in heaven, so we ask
them to give us something. But
we on earth, are richer than the
souls in Purgatory, so they ask
us to give them something. It's
the same old principle St. Paul
used to preach~ of give and take
between Christians all round.
Thought For The Week
Lines from St. PaulEpistle
to the Colossians:
Therefore, as you have received
Jesus Christ our Lord,
so walk in him; be"rooted in him
and build up on him, and
strengthened in the faith, as you

thanksgiving abundantly.

subscriptions. The Drive as far
as they are concerned was a
'complete failure. Thoug;h the
goal set for the Freshmen was
only one thousand dollars in
subscriptions, the returns were
completely disappointing. The
Freshmen have done almost
nothing in contributing toward
the Drive. They pro'bably may
learn fr'om experience that such
affairs are only to their own
advantage.
There was no guidance and
very little leader~hip for the

By NICHOLAS ROSA
At the November 9 meeting
of the 1949-1950 Student Council,
the moderator Reverend Robert
MacDonnell, S.J., congratulated
the new members and
spoke of some of the specific
problems f~cing the Council during
the coming year, expressing
confidence in the new Council's
ability to meet them as has been
done in the past. Father MacDonnell
suggested, also, that the
Council be officially represented
at such University functions as
the Bellarmine Lectures.
After a motion to elect a temporary
vice-president and treasurer,
there was a discussion on
the possible election of permanent
officers at this meeting, because
the Freshmen members of
the Council would not take their
seats for some time. It was pointed
out that more than a quarter
year would have elapsed before
they arrived, and that these
Freshmen would not be well
enough acquainted with the
Council to make a certain choice
of candidates. A proposal to elect
permanent officers at this meeting
was defeated, however, and
J ames Flynn was elected vicepresident
pro tem. The Council
agreed to retain Harry Costello
as acting treasurer, for reasons
of banking convenience.
Discussion of the Council's
constitution caused passage of
a motion to have a committee
review and make mimeographed
copies of relevant parts of the
Constitution for the Council
members. John McNamara will
head this committee to mimeograph
the Constitution.
The Council voted to adopt a
stag's head as an alternate University
emblem, for possible use
on car-stickers. Pending clearance
by the Dean's Office, February
21 was approved as the date
for the Knights of Xavier
Father-Son banquet, and December
1 and January 7 as respective
dates for an Athletic Association
rally and dance. The Council also
called for the appointment of a
Winter Carnival committee.
Members of the proposed Progressive
Jazz Club and the Dixieland
Jazz Club, will be called
before the Council to demonstrate
that there will be no conflict
between two such clubs.
The Council established the
week of Monday, November 21,
as the nominating period for the
Freshman Student Council Elections.
The elections will be held
Tuesday, November 29.

said to be a psychological one.
"India," said Father D'Souza, "is
just learning to enjoy her freedom";
she has received "elbow
room" by way of Independence
and She is not r,eady to sacrifice
it by becoming a part of either
of the two camps.
"How'ever" he concluded "if

and non-committal attitude,

To the Editor:
Before I hang my head in
shame as recommended in the
November 2 issue of the Stag,
I would like to ask a few questions
and make a comment on
the election for the members of
the Student Council by the members
of the sophomore class.
On the morning of October 26
a hastily written note was on the
bulletin board on the first floor.
Its purpose was to announce an
election rally to be held in the
cafeteria that same afternoon.
As strange as it may seem I
had enough interest in the election
to be at the cafeteria for
that scheduled rally. There were
two ping-pong players in the
cafeteria and a group sitting at
a card table, candidates for the
Student Council were not on
hand. I know for a fact that one
of the successful candidates left
the campus about half an hour
before the rally was to take
place. There was no posting of a
cancellation nor did the Stag
mention this rally. Where were
the candidates? Why was such
a rally announced if it wasn't
going to be held.
Unless the sophomores who
voted had personal knowledge
of the candidates they had no
basis for judging the various
candidates.
A candidate may have received
a vote because the voter
liked the sound of his name or
because he liked the number of
letters in the candidate's name.
If this method was followed in
the state and municipal elections
held last week you can well
imagine the disorder and disappointment
that would result.
The Election Commissioner
and his assistants must have
done some work for the election.
This is evident from the splendid
showing made by the Juniors. I
doubt if we can blame the Commissioner
for the lack of interest
shown by the sophomores.
There must be some reason for
this lack of spirit and it should
be found and eliminated. This
same "do nothing" attitude is
even evident in the magazine
drive.
As I have already said this
lack of suirit must be eliminated
and I a~ sure that it will take
more than a few lines in the
Stag to do it.
Very truly yours,
Edward J. Kelly
Sophomore, F.
(Editor's Note: I do not believe
that any Sophomore candidates
were present at the rally. I will
say this, however, there was no
interest manifested by either the
Sophomore or Junior Classes in
this rally.)

Obligati,ons AndPrivileges
The tradit'ional signs of an educated m~nd are two,
the ability to think and the realization of PurposePurpose
of life itself in :the thousand and one activ,ities
of human living. These two essentials can be seen
readily in the class room. But remove the guidance of
the professors and the pressure of marks, and then, how
does the intelligent college man act outside the classroom?
Does he show the traditional signs in his every
day living? Perhaps the acid test of collegiate intelligence
is made in the familiar perennial of college endeavor,
the club.
Consider for a moment the very essence of a club.
In reality, the club ,is basically a society. The three
essentials of a society, a group freely united for a common
purpose, are found in a club. With these essentials,
it is evident that the co-operation of every member is
imperative for the success of any club. If anyone
neglects his share of activity as designat~d by the
members themselves, he contradicts the very essence
of his membership.
The educated member of a club should ha~e the
two traditional signs of education. First, he must have
a deep appreciation of tp.e purpose of the student organization,
a miniature society. Secondly, he must
have the abilility to think intelligently. A club member
cannot think that he is an intelligent member if he
shirks his obligations, but clamors for his privileges.

Thoughts For Thanks
Next Wednesday, we begin our Thanksgiving recess.
We all know the pilgrim story by heart, having
heard it since grammar school days. We also know
that every day is a day of giving thanks for the many
gifts each of us receives daily.
At the' present, with the world in its tmubled state,
we still hav~ an uncounted number of reasons for being
grateful. Weare at peace, and though the Iron Curtain
of Russia casts a dark doubt on a lasting peace, we still
have time to pray to Our Lady of Fatima. Two of Her
promises given at Fatima were peace throughout the
entire world and the conversion of Russia.
Despite Lewis' strikes and whispers of a recession
here in our own country, we can still be grateful for the
freedoms we enjoy. We can think as we please and still
express those opinions. Last week we went to the polls
and voted freely. There was no pressure exerted by
anyone group or party to intimidate us for our vote.
Our ballots were free.
We at school should be especially thankful for the
opportunity of a college education before us. Consider
.this chance we have and reflect on the ultimate goodness
we can derive from it.
Lastly, we go home to our families on this day and
thank God in common prayer for the opportunity to be
together.

in the Atomic Bomb. Father
MacDonnell's talk was enlightening
and included several difficult
theories whioh he explained
in a manner that simplified
them. Father MacDonnell
also exhibited a piece of
roofing from Nagasaki which
was burned by ,the atomic
bomb. The house, from which
t·he roofing came, was over a

Twenty-six members were
present on Wednesday, November
9, 1949, as the Biology Club
held its regular meeting. President
Ciro Veneruso '51 presided.
After the business at hand,
which included a discussion of
future lectures, had been dispatched,
Mr. Veneruso introduced
Raymond Parry '51, as the
speaker for the day.
Mr. Parry's topic was "Anticoagu].
ants in Modern Medicine."
He described how the usage of
two drugs, Heparin and Dicumerol,
have proved themselves to
be invaluable lifesavers in com'
ba1lting post-surgicalcomplications,
and other disorders of the
cir,cul'atory system.
Dicumerin, he explained, acts
on Pl'othrombin, the clotting
agent in the blood, to prevent
the formation of blood clots,
which, in many instances, prove
injurious or even fatal.
Although Heparin, the other
anti-coagulant under discussion,
acts faster than Dicumerin, its
effects are much shorter lived
and it entails the undesir-able use
of hypodermal injection.
. Mter the lecture, Mr. Parry
answered questions, and then
gave a demonstration relevant
'to the subject. The quantity and
quality of questions pr'Oposed
indicated the high degree of interest
evoked by the lecture.
At the BioJogy Club's meeting
this ,afternoon Ciro Veneruso will
deliver the lecture to the members.
His topic is "Psychosoma'tic

Plans were formulated for an
"all out" student pep rally to
take the place of the Bellarmine
Lecture. which was to be held on
December 1, at 2:00 p.m. Attendance
is not obligatory and
the Athletic Association feels
that if the players are to have a
good team they must be supported
by a large student body.
Therefore, the A.A. extends an
invitation to all members of the
student body, and promises a
stimulating program with a
chance to meet our "new coach."
The A.A. also decided to sponsor
a dance. Jim Flynn was
elected Committee Chairman
and the date is set for Saturday,
January 7. All classes are invited.
Further details will be
published in the STAG.
