ceming the decision of the Supreme
Court on the compulsory registration
of subversive Communists.
'The praises placed on the so-called
"Warren Court" are absolutely ground­less
and when one considers some of
its decisions of late one wonders If It
is not ardently trying to hand over the
U.s. to the Reds. These cases, for el'­ample,
are typical: Watkins VI. U.S.
(which takes from Congressional in­vestigating
conunlttees virtually all
freedom of inquiry); Siochower vs.
Board of Higher Education (complete
disintegration of the rights or states to
protect students from subversive teach­ers)
and the Infamous Yates vs. U.S.
(which makes It alm~t impossible to
prosecute conspirators against Amerlea
until they physically begin overthrow­ing
the government). These and the
more recent decisions concerning the
removal of God from this country and
the legalization of all sorts of sordid
literature and birth cmtrol (in certain
states; e.g_ ConDectlcut) point out all
too clearly that th.bJ court is far from
what it is supposed to be In Ita inter­pretation
of the CoDstttutton.
Rather than praising Earl Warren.
we should unequivocally condemn him
and push forward the timely and vir­tuous
movement to: lMPEACH EARL

obvious purpose was to degrade the

by throwing insults at them. You did
not correct them or help them - if
this is what it nccded. You caUed them

Another alternative is lengthen­ing
the semester break, although
this will mean more time must
be added unto the academic
year elsewhere.
Realizing the problems in­volved,
we feel that students
should be given their marks
prior to the start of the second
semester; we hope that steps
will be taken to eliminate the
present delay.

-----_._,--
VVe have again proceeded
through an entire week of sec­ond
semester without the ad­vantage
of knowing marks for
the first semester. Over and
above the mere annoyance at
this delay many decisions de­pend
upon these marks. Changes
in courses, formulation of plans
for the future. the buying of
textbooks - all are contingent
on this problem. Once again stu­dents
have started second sem­ester
only to learn later they
have flunked oot. There is al80
the psychological effect of know­iog
one's marks, and setting a
pace for the coming semester.
We realize the difficulties of
correcting exams faced by the
professors, and the intricate fil­ing
and recording necessary in
the Dean's offiee. However, the
semester break should be long
enough to anow completion of
this task.
While the marks remain in
the hands of the professors,
there is little that can be done
to speed the process along. It
would be foolish to impose tight
deadlines on them at the ex­pense
of fairness to the students.
However, they should remember
that they are often demanding
in their deadlines for tenn pap­ers
and assignments., and ex­perience
annoyance at delays.
Once the marks are into the
office it seems the process could
be speeded up. Granted the
work load at this time is parti­cularly
large, but perhaps extra
help could be hired for the oc­casion,
or more use could be
made of computers.
A step toward satisfying stu­dents
and taking pressure off the
office may be the introduction,
on a wide scale. of the practice
of enclosing self-addressed post
cards in exam books. and the
professor could simply copy the
mark onto the post card and
drop it into the mail. This is not
that great an effort for the pro­fessor.
and will get marks out
as soon as they are computed.

Mr. Richard Forsyth, who

The play was written by Jack
Richardson soon after he grsd­uated
from Columbia Univer­sity,
while studying at the Uni­versity
of Munich.
The play, which scored a
triumph in New York in 1960,
is based on a Greek legend that
has provided a rich mine oC
material Cor playwrights and
composers Cor more than 2500
years, and tells of a curse on
a ro)'al dynast)' and its doom
through t.hree generations.
The legend was first recorded
in 458 a.c. by the Greek dra­matist
Aeschylus in the classic
trilogy, "The Oresteia". Eugene
O'Neill's "Mourning Becomes
Electra", Jean-Paul Sartre's
'''The Flies" and Robinson Jef­fers'
''The Tower Beyond Tra­gedy"
are some other recent
plays that have been derived
from the same source.

all public appearances in trio

Jimmy Smith has introduced
the jazz organ as an instrument

I believe. Grace, that if a person claims to be a Christian,
it should be evident in the way he lives. Christ came down to
earth with one message essentially: "Love one another."
This message Is the enbodiment or a "")' or HIe . . . it is
more than rele~.._t ~ If Christianity seems irrelevant to us, then
there is some distortion, GROSS inadequacy, or misplaced em.
phasis in our view of it ... and what we have been calling
Christianity. is not Christianity after all.
We have reached an age of crisis as regards our religion ...
and the general indifference of students at our respective
schools is indicative of this. The challenge must be met .
Christianity must be made more relevant; it must be made to
become - a vital part of the life of modern man. Never before
has mankind needed more a strong religious conviction and a
great faith in the existence and mercy of God We must Fe­'
1.tallze religion . . . and we must do so on tIlI8 cam...... as you
must do on yours. Perhaps herein lies the answer to the problem
we face with regard to the lack of religious commitment in
today's Catholic college student.
You mentioned in )'our last letter that you were deeply
disturbed about the apathetic attitude of many of those about
you towards their Relig1on, and wondered (as I have ofU'n
wondered m)'self) why such a state of spiritual lethargy should
be so commonplace among college students - people who are
usually 10 excitable, people who are so concerned, as a rule,
with all that goes on about them and all that plays an important
role in their daily lives. You ask why there are so few religiously
committed students - Christians and atheists alike, why such a
great number of our classmates are so Indifferent towards things
spiritual, wh)' religion no longer seems to be a vital part of
their lives. You have asked these questions, as I have done many
times, and as so many people here at Fairfte1d have done .
in a spirit of great concern and anxiety.
1be problem seems to be many·faceted one ... but can,
I think, be traced to a single. fundamental difficulty - namely,
that Christianity no longer seems to be rele'·ant. Religion a~
parently does not make a dUl't'ft.DCl'l in our lives. . it is no
kmger an intrinsic part of ourselves in all the things we do,
think, and say. Being religious, for many people today, means
adhering to a structure of external observances and practices ­religion
has become for them a "Sunday kind of love"
something that works for the Sabbath, but is shelved, forgotten,
or otherwise gotten rid of during the remaining part of the week.
It doesn't seem to make a dift'ercnce whether a person is Chris­tian
or not when he is Invoked in the "work-a day world," which
is his ordinary life.
This, to me, is the problem underlying the lack of any type
of widespread spiritual commitment among the students here
at Fairfield You see, Crace, the same situation you have la·
mented at your school is to be found heN! - I sometimes think
that If there were no Theology courses oIfered at Fairfield that
we would be hard-pressed to point out to visitors the essential
difl"erences between this university and the average state school.
Exactly what does it mean to be a Christian, what does it mean
for ~Id to be a Christian school? Is the Christianity preach­er
as exemplifted on this campus .Ih'e!
I think that the cause of the poor spiritual situation meu-­tioned
above Ues - aside from the apathy and indtft"erence of
many individual students In the university _ wltlala the stn,)c­ture
of the university itself. Among the possible reasons for our
spiritual Inertia would seem to be the theology courses _ they
are very academ~. and supposedly must necessarily be so
but how much do they increase or deepen the faith of the in­dividual
taking them. . to how great a degree do they pre­sent
him with a real encolDl~r with his faith! The sennons
given at Sunday masses are also a problem - many of them are
ineffective and irrelevant. In addition, there seems to be very
little public discussion or religion on the campus _ we have had
very few, if any, public: lectures, dialogues, or debates on bn­portant
N!lJgious Issues her<' this year.
As college students we need a deep insight into what 0Iris­tianity
really", what Is _, and what difference it should
make in our lives. We need an insight at the: same time Into the
Claurclll; we need to know what she teaches, especially as regards
eueatlal Christianity - the Christianity that you take with you
into your daily liIe: the Christianity that is supposed to make
)"ou a different, and abetter, type of person.
Would not courses that dealt with such topics as the
Cl'lurch's stand on contemporary problems. the individual and
his relation to Church authority. pe~ Christianity _ and
how It appU8, especially to the individual in modern society ...
would not such courses help to make religion more pertlDeat.
more relevant! Would not sennons that were concerned with
the college student and his role as a student, as a citizen, and
as a man - all considered from a Christian viewpoint .
would not this type of homily make religion more pertinent and
relevant?

little things!
STAG: You mean that you can have the nm of the place!
S-~OW..IOB: Well, I was disturbed in some plaCH!
STAG: Where was this!
SNOW..,JOB: For one elUUIlple, you just had to look at the
back steps of Loyola. 1 was very abn.t:ptly pushed 011 there!
STAG: But, in my two and a balf years here at Falr1Ield, it
has been common knowledge that the back doors leadiDg to the
lounge were not to be used as entraDCell and exlls to the buUding.
SNOW..,JOB: 'Ibat's right!!
STAG: can you think of any reasons why the:! parking lots
evaded the wrath or those awful plows?
SNOW..H)B: Perhaps the plows were stalled. You must
remember, also, that Il does take a certain amount of effort to
push one of those things.
STAG: You must have had a blast during semester break
when the lots were almost empty.
SNOW..rOB: It was very reaUuJ. But all you rotten ldds
came back and disturbed my sleep. I got even thoueh. I had a
great time making all the cars skid and almost crash lnto one
another. My brother, Mr. Ice. had the t1me of hla life on the
Incline leading to Regia Lot. He made the can try three or
four time:; before he let them enter! 1be most fun came. how­ever,
when we crept up on them tram behind and all the stu­dents
had to push the cars out of the parking spaces.. I'm telling
you, it was a real ball!
STAG: I noticed that it took them four days after your
arrival to brush you aside from the walks leading frun Regia
to Loyola and Campion. Can you relate SOfI'Ie of your expelieDCe5
during this time!
SXOW-.JOB: Actually. I'm a very cona1derate person. I felt
that it would be easier for aU the sld-buft's to return to scbool
if they could ski back and forth to classes, meals, etc. After all.
they had been on aU those beautiful slopes up North. so I ar­ranged
to have perfect conditions rizht here at Fair6eJd!
STAG: 'Ibat was very nice of you. But what about all the
students who aren't that fond or skilng?
SXOW..IOB: For them it was a perfect tcst of balance on
the glassy walks.
STAG: This reporter was under the impreulon that tests
were over on the 26th.

STAG: Would you like to add anything, Mr. Snow.Job?
SNOW-.JOB: I would just nke to thank all those respom;ible
for the wonderful time I had It was a very enjoyable vtsit!
Unless things change, I will look forward to many more good
times here at Fairfield. Maybe next time I wUl have the luck to
cause a really good accldent In the parking lots or will cause
somebody to fall and break his neck. I always look forward to
events such as these!

In American schools the
5tudy of modem foreign lan­guages
has played a meek sec­ond
fiddle to the study of
acIence and math. A definite
lack of Duent speakers of for­eign
languages in the Foreign
service makes this point mani­fest.
Desirous of correcting this
situation, Uncle Sam has placed
the teaching of languages on
the same level ot ftnancial aid
as the teaching of math and
science.
Fairfield Unlverslty has been

language study. Several
Improvements will be made In
the Language Department. One
of these will be the installa­tion
of an intercom system in

With the 1965-66 collegiate basketball season
well past the mid-way point, it has become unmistake­ably
obvious that this has been neither a very pleasant
nor successful year for the so-called experts.
The ever surplising and increasing boom of Fair­field
stock as a top Eastern power is only one of the
many painful thorns in the sides of the professional
basketball buffs. These are the same experts who
would have laughed in your face had you taken the
current top ten teams in the country and suggested
the list to the professional prophets in the pre-season
J{uessing.
National champion UCLA, seeking an unpre­cedented
third straight NCAA championship, and
picked unanimously by a board of college coaches
and professionnl sportwtiters to do so, has alrcad}'
dropped enough decisions so that the Uclans will have
to finish with a flourish in ordel· to remain in the top
ten.
Over in Philadelphia, the Hawk may not be dead,
but unless S1. Joe's can finish strong there's a pretty
fair chance that they will be bypassed in the post­season
tournament bids.
Thus far the Hawks have gotten their wings
clipped four times and most of the damage has been
done on the road, away from the security of the Pales­tra
and the fanatical Philadelphia fans.
Brigham Young, Wyoming and St. John's all
have whipped St. Joe's on the road while Dayton, led
by 7' 1" All-American Henry Finkel, did the Hawks
in at the Palestra, their own back yard.
It's very possible that the strain of a seventeen
game summer State Department tour in South Amer­ica
and the rigors of the regular season are taking
their toll on St. Joe's. Matt Coukas, who wasn't
healthy for a while, and Cliff Anderson are the
Hawks two big weapons and must be in the lineup if
81. Joe's is to keep winning.
Although consistently near the top in the past
few years, the story at Duke has been "close, but not
cigar" as far as the national championship is con­cerned.
Now, however, the Blue Devils are rolling and
except for a single loss to South Carolina has an un·
blemished record. Led by Bob Verga, Steve Vacendak
and Jack Marin, Duke has played superb basketball,
twice beating rival UCLA, and is now the nation's top
ranked team.
Second ranked Kentucky, not even given a belth
III the pre-season top ten, has "ipped off seventeen
straight wins and along with Texas Westel·u remains
one of only two undefeated teams in the country. The
Wildcats, led by veterans Louis Dampiel·, Pat Riley
and soph sensation Thad Jaracz have twice beaten
arch-rival Vanderbilt and are a good bet to replace
Duke in the ratings.
Fourth ranked Providence, somewhat of a ques­tion
mark due to the loss of 6' 7" Dexter Westbrook
through ineligibility, has lost twice to Houston and
Duquesne but is still a tough stop for any team due
to the incomparable Jim \Valker.
These have been only a few instances in the many
which have made the cun-ent collegiate basketball
season virtually unpredictable. Sports llIustrated in
particular, which had St. Joe's tabbed No. 1, Pr~vi­dence
No. 11 and Kentucky No. 13. has been swallow­ing
the bitter pills of inaccuracy week after week.
Finally, tonight at Providence, the Stags will be
gU!lning for another upset in an attempt to bag the
Ft,iars. Y:'e haye t~e team and th~ desire to pull off a
