New Club Elects Officers At a meeting held by the Public Affairs Club befor'e Christmas with Father Hohmann and Doctor J,ohn NOl'ffian presiding, reor,ganization proceedings were undertaken. The new organization the Public Affairs International Relations Club now embodies C.I.S.L., CCUN, The PUiblioc Affairs Club and all other political organizations on campus. In order to aocolmmodate the change a committee was appointed to revise the existing constitution in order to alternate the meetings so that each 'group will be alble to execute its business without any undue delay. The officers elected for this new club are: Robert Imbro, president; David Barry, vice' president; Frands Doherty, secretary, and J'ames Masterson, treasurer.

The greatest social night in the University's history wIll take place between the hours of nine and one on February 10 at the Ritz Ballroom. Jerry Malafronte '56, chairman of the 1956 Winter Carnival, has announced that a sell-out crowd will be present for an evening of dancing to the swing music of Pat Dorn and his Orchestra, whose Glenn Miller style has long been popuLar with the college crowd. The latter half of the weekend has several parties, dances, and concerts scheduled to provide the frosting for the cake and will close with the Fairfield men and their dates attending Mass and a Communion Breakfast on Sunday morning in Loyola Hall. The most arresting feature of this year's Carnival has been the new method of choosing the Queen of the Carnival. Students were asked to submit pictures of their dates to the Carnival Committee to be selected by a pi1cked Board of Judges composed of Mrs. Jos·eiph May, Mr. Carmen Donnaruma, and Dr. James Vail. The response was tremendous and the final selection of the Queen and her four Princesses was extremely difficult. Another factor in the interest in this year's affair was the f,urious controversy over the Student Council's act in supporting Jerry Malafronte's decision to have the traditional Ice Carvings. On the Saturday following the big event, a Jazz Concert will be held in Xavier Hall. Featured at the concert will be the newly formed Fairfield University "Stag Stompers," led by Bill Connell '56. That same evening, an informal dance will be held a'gain in Xavier Hall. The music will be supplied by the F'airfield University Dance Band. This dance is being sponsored by the Bridgeport, Wa.terbury, Valley, New Haven, Metropolitan, and (Continued on Page 4) The Student Council has recently annQunced the appointment of John Oagnassola as chairman of the 1957 Mid-Winter Carnival. If participation in campus affairs is any criterion of ability John's appointment augers /Well for the success of next year's Carnival. John is presently serving as a member of the Loyola Council and he also takes an active part in the affairs of the Waterlbury CIUlb and the Sodality. Among his other achievements are his feats on the baseball diamond, and the co-chairmanshi'p of this years JuniorSenior Dance. This is the first time that a Mid-Winter Carnival chairman has been named so early in the year, and the innovation is not without purpose. John is certain to gain valuable experience working with Jerry Malafronte on this year's committee. This ex,perience, along with careful planning and diligent working, are certain to assure the success of the 1957 Carnival. Glee Club Combined concerts, Appearances throughout the state, and a weekend jaunt to Chicopee, Mass. will be the highli'ghts of the year, and should .give the Club a chance to shaw off its versatility and ability to perform under diversified conditions. Under the direction o·f Mr. Simon Harak, the club is presently in rehearsal for the forthcoming concert with the AIbertus Magnus Glee Club at JEAN DEGNAN New Haven The United States Navy today announced the commissioning of Ensign John Philip Fray, U.S. Naval Reserve. John is a native of Fairfield and graduated from Fairfield University in 1952. At Fairfield he was a member of the Public Affairs Club, Junior, Senior Debating Societies and the Cross Country Team. Ensign Fray is one of 685 men to graduate today from the highly competitive U.S. Navy Officer Candidate School. His future assignment is to the Naval Justice School. Rear Admiral Howard A.

Interprets the News By DAVID McCARTHY On Tuesday, January 10, the radio program "Fairfield University Interprets the News" presented a lively and controversial discussioI\ on the press. Joining Professor John A. Meaney were Rev. John Bonn, S.J., of the University's faculty and two students, Arthur Bennett, '56, and David McCarthy, '57. The discussion brought out~>--------------many :£acts. Freedom of the Fairfield Alumnus press means that the press is • • free to print the truth, without ComnllSSloned Officer fear of governmental controls. The reasons given by many of today's publications were debunked. Rather than cater to advertising, which demands more subscribers and thus have to use "appealing and sensational matter," the press should strive for truth keeping in mind the right of privacy, justice to which the pr,ess has at times proved a handicap,) and the moral duty of decency, versus obscenity. The famous "Pope favors Rosen:bergs" headlines, and the breakup of a Hollywood marriage by a columnist's writings, as well as certain publications, were among the ex:amples cited. The common belief in the relativity of truth was refuted a belief which was illustrated by the December 12th issue of "Life" in which there appeared an article rationalizing religion. The press, because of its power (200,000,000 readers) has a vast reSIPonsibility toward truth. The existence of some 10,000 Communist newspapers in 86 lalllgua'ges proves what failure in this responsibility can lead to. (This does not take into account the Communist infiltration on American Newspapers in the person of many columnists.) In a parting word, Father Bonn exhorted the public to us·e all means poss~ble in seeing that the truth is printed.

Well, fear not fellow students, still imbued with the recent Christmas spirit, I shall explain to you a system worked out by a very good fri.end of mine, and a former student at Fairfield, Roland Hotchkiss. Roland came to Faireld in 1950 from Tedium High in Howdryiam, N.Y., where he had been recently elected "Most Likely to Make Out." Roland. entered his college full of good humor, and a knowldge of playing the banjo. Needless to say he became quite the gay blade, life of the party around the campus, and a well known sight to girls of nearby colleges. A big man on Campus, he soon distinguished himself on the school paper with his knowledge of newspaper fillers, e.g., there are five grams of silver in a Spanish peseta. Roland was also awarded the honor of a membership in the Alki Club, and in his senior year elected to the Corps de Kiwi in the Birdwatchers Club. After a semester of carousing Roland was suddenly faced with the fact of Mid Term Exams. Following several unsuccessful attempts on his own life he decided the situation had to be faced. His first exam he noted was history, immediately he decided to flick out to all the historical movies as was possible. Since his second exam was French he decided to go only to French historical movies. The math exam had him stumped until he remembered an old girl friend who had been good in math in high school, so he took her to all the movies. The English exam didn't bother him, after all he had been speaking it all his life. For his theology exam he Father Hogan recently spoke h I to the Sodality concerning New took one night off from going to istorica movies to Year's res{)lutions. He asserted see the movie, "The Ten .commandments." His final that these resolutions are good exam was economics, so Roland speculated heavily with in that it is one way of develop- the funds of the Alki Club Treasury making a huge ing yourself. H{)wever, many people fail to keep such resolves profit on Consolidated Air. Roland is now retired on usually because they are either his farm in Gettysburg, 111., where he lives in compara-too broad or not practical. One h good resolution for the New tive simplicity surrounded by fifteen servants and is Year, he stated, would be for us lovely wife, Abernatha. to use our talents and do a little extra studying, especially with This issue of The Stag brings an end to my pleasant finals coming up. This is cer- association with the paper. It has been a lot of fun tainly one that should not be writing this column, I hope that those of you who read it broken. ------------ enjoyed it. If I have hurt anyone's feelings unjustly, I apologize. In poking fun at different things around campus I've also poked fun at myself; so that just about squares everything away. In his address to the Sodality, Father Bonn emphasized the personal sanctificati{)n od' a S'Odalist. He said that both personal and social sancti,fication are necessary in the work of the Sodalist. Logically speaking though, you are the first. In the temporal -order howe,ver it must be remembered that personal sanctification of oneself cannot be perfectly achieved. Er,go, let's help others get eternal salvation as long as we are pretty sure we can make it upstairs ourself! The last Devotional the Sodality held was opened on a cheery note when it was announced that Father 'Murphy will be back with us for our next meeting. As we all know Father was sick for awhile and s.peaking for the Sodality we are most glad to see him back. D.J.McC. The End Underhanded Opposition The Catholic Truth Section has added a few more pamphlets to its rack down in Xavier J T S Hall. Among those are "Modern • • • Youth and Chastity" and "Je-hovas Witnesses Exposed." Also, because of the demand, additional copies of "An1erica' have been procured. If any of the students have any suggestions There have been many articles written on the sub- on other types of Catholic liter- J.ect of school spirit here at Fairfield both in our own ature that should be included in . . .. . d the rack, please drop a note to chool paper and m outsIde publIcatlons.

In order to carry out this pI'ogram, a student tax was deemed necessary. Whereas in other schools such costs to the student run much higher, the small sum of one dollar was set up by the Council. A collection date was arranged and publication of same was provided for. What was the result? Several posters were drawn up and posted with the permission of the Dean of Men. They were put in suitable places throughout Xavier Hall. Not long afterwards, however, they had been taken down by persons who did not care to make them- ~lves known. This happened more than once. But he collection took place. A new sign was added to the fatalities. It was torn off the collection table. The tax was unsuccessful due to the lack of cooperation on the part of the student body and also due to the failure of the publicity to reach the students. Opposition is healthy. When a group of students have a legitimate reason for opposing any action of the Council, there are reasonable means for making this opposition known. However, the means that were used this past week do not constitute legitimate opposition. No objections were brought into the open. What actually happened was that a few students who like to be called members of Fairfield, showed their lack of true pirit, intelligence and maturity in depriving their Council and other students of information which was rightfully publicized and which they have a right to know. This issue of the Stag marks the end of the present editorial staff of the paper. At this time I would like to congratulate my successors, David F. Barry and Ted Measom and wish them the best of luck. To Dave, my News Editor, my thanks for seeing to it that all the news was in on time - even if it meant writing the entire paper himself. To Ted, the former Business Manager, my thanks also for securing enough ads to keep The Stag running in the black. Many, many thanks are due also to: Art Conway, retiring feature editor; Dave McCarthy, his successor~ Jack Crowley and John Cagnassola, make-up editors; Bob Berthelson and Jack Toal, photographers; Bob chreck and Paul Nagy, sports editors; and Don Gabriel, exchange editor. I have worked with these men for the past year and can say with all sincerity that it has indeed been a pleasure to have them on my staff. They have worked hard and have done the best with the facilities given ~hem. My thanks again to all for the help they have given me, and to my successors, I offer the hope that Their Stag will be the best yet.

BARRY Every so often there emerges from the American intellectual community a voice "crying aloud in the wilderness." The most recent of these is the noted columnist, Walter Lippman, in his book, The Public Philosophy. Mr. Lippman's theme is the general lack of a a code of public ethics in the United States, a lack which has developed gradually over the years of our existence as a nation. He holds that the moral standards which were recognized ,as binding and as the basis for our liberty by the authors of the Declaration -of Independence and the Constitution have been let slip to the point that the average man is no longer aware of their existence. This has created a dangerous situation in a time when the pressure of mass opinion plays such an important part in the creation of our governmental policy. The central theme is seriously handled and fully developed. The first draft was made back in 1939 when dictatorial fascism was at its height and the events of the intervening decade and a half have convinced the author that unless the secular, democratic state can regain its raison d'etre, it will destroy itself. Sheed and Ward are in the process of doing humanity a very large favor. They are in the process of re-issuing many volumes of Chesterton which have been long out-of-print. The only panacea lean offer to the disgruntled, disgusted, and despairing is to read Chesterton. An hour or two of Chestertonian song and wine, superimposed on a hearthy, boisterous Christianity is usually a very good cure for the after-effects of a bad day.

From all indications those attending this event will have a very enjoyable time. A fine turnout is also expected. Tickets for this affair are being sold now. Those planning to attend should get in touch with one of the members of the Veteran's Club. Last year, those who waited until the last minute found that tickets were no longer available. A word t,o the wise ... Deutscher Kultur Verein At the club's meeting on Wednesday, J,an. 11, several movies . were shown for the benefit of the members. These included: "Muenchen," Peasant Wedding in the Schivalm and Singendes Deutschland. Public Affairs-International Relations Club Welcome t,o the newest club on the campus. This group has selected Robert J. Imbro as its president. The other officers include: David F. Barry, Vice- President; Frances H. Doherty, Secretary, and James Miasterson as Treasurer. New York Metropolitan Club Plans are moving forward rapidly toward the proposed Glee Club Concert in Ne-w York. Bruce Kennedy has been appointed Arrangements Chairman. Letters have been sent out to the A.Iumni and !parents of the Metropolitan area. These letters seek to build the support of these very vital groups for this venture. The success of the concert will depend on the support of thel aforementioned groups. "I have personally emphasized the German concept of the Gefolgschaftidee (notion of followers) to my German students. I do not deny that even now the authoritarian structur-e survives, because in Germany today, German lalbor unions are still servile to employers, German capitalists are doing their best to revive old cartels, and Lebensraumis being persued by German businessmen from India to Peru. "Germany is still Germany, and its military helplessness is temporary. But, that the furor Teutonicus is hereditary and incorrigible, is to be denied. Wise American policy is based on the assmnption that a cure is possrble through environmental change. The German environment since World War II has changed more radically than the environment of anY' other nation." Professor C'tester }. Stuart Discusses Germany At Dinner Campus Personality "Germany is considered to be an ally in any forthcoming hostilities," declared Professor Chester J. Stuart in an address to members of the Deutscher Kultur Verein of Fairfield University at a recent supper meeting in the Turf Club. Introduced by Dr. Gerard B. McDonald, Associate Professor of Modern Languages at the University, and Moderator of both the DKV and French Clubs (a phenomena "impossible in modern E-urope"), Professor Stuart posited the premise that the German will support any government which will secure for him a minimum standard of living and which can offer an equitable culture. He added that the German thinks little of what we in the U.S. call political freedom, but much of the wise economic provisions for the security of life. Professor Stuart emphasized the international tensions. "Increasingly disturbing reports of Eas-t-German Communist threats of blockade, the incr-easing tempo of Russian propaganda in India, impending vetoes in the UN, create in ,American minds the picture of a new and imminent threat to our country.

Lenny Paoletta with 6 points each, the Stags surged back and whittled down Rider's 20 point margin to only 4. With only three minutes remaining, the Stags tried desperately to cut this margin. However in their attempt to do this they committed several very costly fouls which enabled Rider to win going away. Tagatac hit with 8 field goals and 6 fouls for 22 points. Jack Smyth, playing his finest game of the year clicked for 18 points and Lenny Paoletta with 8 field goals had 16 points. Heigbt-Disadvantage Disastrous To F.U.

Mike Mullen Froank McGowan Kenny O'Brien Frosh Win Over Raybestos Cardinals The Fairfield Frosh took their first game of the campaign as they halted the Rayibestos Cardinals 84-81. !Mike Mullen was high man for the Fr-eshmen as he combined six field goals and 17 foul shots for 29 points. His roommate, Frank McGowan, shared the scoring burden as he hit for 20 Doints. The Cardinals held a 26-18 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Frosh surged back to tie the game at 38 all by the end of the half. Raybestos came back strong and moved away to a ten point margin mid-way during the third period. Mike Mullen with 9 points in this quarter, aided the squad to cut down the lead to four ipoints by the end of the period, 58-54. With four minutes to go in the game, the Oardinals held a 71-68 margin. A driving layup by Mullen resulted in a 3 point play. Immediately aftel'Wards Mullen intercepted a pass and converted it to give the Frosh a margin which they never a'gain relinquished. The other scorers for the Frosh were John Avignon with 12, Kenny O'Brien 10, and Dave Carpenter 9. * ~ Utilizing a closely knit defense, a determined Fair-field quintet battled its way to a 72-53 victory over once beaten New Haven Teachers. Before a stunned gathering in the spacious Teachers' gymnasium the hungry Stags, led by the prolific sooring~~------- of Jack Smyth, captured that elusive first vktory. New Haven o·pened the scoring with a three point surge whi1ch "Dixie" Pavel out down with a driving layup. The Owls then rallied for three points while allowing a foul conversion by Smyth and held their largest and last lead of the night. After quick hoops by Pavel and Smyth the score was tied at seven apiece. Paoletta then fired a long set shot which gave the fighting R-edmen a lead they never relinquished. Smyth, who had "hot hands" throughout the half was continually set up by his t.eammates. He alone accounted for 17 of the Sta-g points when he left the floor with two minutes and 43 seconds remaining. At this stage of the game the Stags led by a 3627 margin. However, "Topsy" DelGobbo, a supeI1b performer for the T-eachers, closed the gap to 36-31 at the half. Stags T-ake Lead The speedy well-coached Hanrahan pupils racked up a commanding 15 point lead as the dock showed 11 :02 remaining in the second half. Seemingly defeated, the Owls raced back into contention with seven con~ secutive points. This drive was sparked by 6'4" Frank Switas. It was at this point that the anxious Te.achers learned a lesson about the foolishness of fouls for Smyth and Ta'gatac calmly comlbined for ten consecutive points from the free throw stripe. With the Stags leading by a commanding 66-51 margin, Pedro Tagatac, a tremendously gritty and tireless pemomner, was forced to leave the game with a knee injury. Miko, Hanley, and Bartamoccia combined with two pointers to give the Stags their final 72-53 margin. Smyth High Man To single out the top performer on the floor would be impossible. Smyth led the scoring with 25-points. He made 68% of his shots. Paoletta, the 0001 headed oaptain garnered 10 points besides directing the team offensively and defensively. Tagatac, who made eight consecutive free throws in the second half, not only scor-ed 14 points but contributed many ste·als through his cat-like reflex:es. Pavel played his usual steady game, rebounding well and added 13 points to the point total. But probably the most s,atis,fying perromnance was the defensive work of Frank Hanley. The sophomore L-R: Father Farrington, Pedro Tagatac. Harry Riede. Bob Jessick. was tremendous under the Bob Gallagher. boards, garnering 22 rebounds and initiating the Stags fast breaking atta-ck. From the all important foul striJpe the Stags hit for 28 successes out of 32 attempts for a stu pen d 0 u s 87.5%. In fact, the team scored 18 of 19 in the second half. Certainly the green, heightless team has been transformed into a fighting, fleet, smart unit under the fine tutelage of Coach Hanrahan. Bowling About seventy students partidpated in the Fall Tourna" ment. This tourney was run on the process of elimination so that the final match ultimately consisted of the best eight teams. There were many upsets, for example, Cox and Ohijieski, favorites in the tourney, lost by * * Intramural Tournament Ends Trophies Awarded Winners The Ping Pong Tournament, which ran for five weeks, and saw many thrillin'g matches, ended with freshman Harry Riede taking top honors as the school's top player. The best of s~ven games semi-final and final matches were by far the most exciting. Individual champs: Freshman - Harry Riede; Sophomore Bob Jessick; Junior - Pedro Tagatac; Senior - Bob Gallagher. Riede won his semi-final match over B~b Jossick, soph champ, before a cr,owd of over fifty students. Jossick for,ced the champ to go the seven g-ames before bowing. In the finals Riede, spirited by his close victory over Jossick, outmaneuvered a talented and hard-ifightiI1'g Bob Gallagher. Riede drove and placed his shots well. The score of four games to two gives little indication of the evenness of the match, nearly each game was a deuce game. Many players are looking forward to the Winter Tournament which will begin on February 5. It is the hope of the ping P0Il!g committee (Alphonse Avitcrble and Fred Beloin) that at least fifty students will sign up. Fairfield University has never seen such a successful intramural program as the 'one being employed this year. Since I am still in the praising mood, this might be a good spot to heap some of the praise on the Intramural Sports Committee and Father Charles Farrington. The news and photographs on this sports page are ample proof that Father Farrington and his ,committee have given much more than what was required of them. Their enthusiasm and hard work have been appreciated by the sports staff as well as the student body in general. They said it while he was in high school; they said it when he starred with the freshman team two years ago; they said it last year when he first saw action as a varsity cager: "He's too small, he'll never make out." So what happened? Pedro Tagatac is currently leading the Red Stags in the point-making department besides being the team's best defensive ball-hawk. When he is not rippling the nets with high-arching set shots or leading a fast break, he is either stealing opponents' pass~s or throwing a wrench of some kind into their offensive maneuvers. A minute doesn't pass without Pedro making an important contribution to his team. In an off-year with only a mediocre team, Pedro is one of the few exceptionally bright spots. A little guy always starts out on his athletic -career with two strikes against him. Make that two and a half in basketball. He has to dig deep into his bag of tricks and develop special talents that will overcome the obstacle of size. Pedro has developed his quick reflexes, his deadly shooting eye, and an unreserved energy to roam the hardwood like a gazelle, to such a degree that he has assumed the position of leading scorer and playmaker on a college basketball team. Tell this to any observer five years ago that Pedro some day would make the grade, and the most you'd get in reply might be a contemptuous sneer. But make the grade, he has, and it is a genuine pleasure to watch a five foot, eight inch ballplayer stand head above shoulders in talent over his taller opponents on the court.

The main course of events in this musical comedy revolve around the much loved, laugh evoking, and feeble minded foil commonly known as Jerry, who is in actuality the hero though not treate'd as such. Our friend Jerry is an insatiable and omnivorous reader of comic books, on which his mind sUibsists day and ni,ght. At night, as is his wont, he has comic book type nightmares and occasionally spouts atomic equations which are veritalbly authentic and potentially disastrous when in the wrong hands. Jerry's fanaticism for eomic books leaves both him and his friend Dean, jobless. Irwarialbly Jerry is incapable of doing anything sensible, and breeds trouble and dilemas wherever he works. When eventually they become pennyless, Jerry draws on his Quixotic idiosyncrasy of enacting the great pretender to turn beans into sizzling tenderloins and Soparkling champagne, all of which is very comical to ~ay the least. Befure too long this arrangement of putting mind over matter soon proves inadequate as a means of livihood thereiby forcing Dean to seek work. In the course of job-seeking, Dean meets a woman cartoonist -and her model. The model falls in love with Jerry and Dean in turn falls in love with the cartoonist. At this point foreign spies entrust to an attractive girl the job of getting Jerry's atomic formulas. In attempting to procure the formulas, the girl and spies are the cause of overall misunderstanding between everyone heretofore mentioned and other artists and models. Boring, repetitious, and inane parts of this picture are few enough s·o as not to detract from its general purport of hilarity which is successfully achieved. Needless to say that the Hollywoodian ending is "As you like it." Summing up: A colorful, humorous, and musical treat.

The greatest social night in the University's history wIll take place between the hours of nine and one on February 10 at the Ritz Ballroom. Jerry Malafronte '56, chairman of the 1956 Winter Carnival, has announced that a sell-out crowd will be present for an evening of dancing to the swing music of Pat Dorn and his Orchestra, whose Glenn Miller style has long been popuLar with the college crowd. The latter half of the weekend has several parties, dances, and concerts scheduled to provide the frosting for the cake and will close with the Fairfield men and their dates attending Mass and a Communion Breakfast on Sunday morning in Loyola Hall. The most arresting feature of this year's Carnival has been the new method of choosing the Queen of the Carnival. Students were asked to submit pictures of their dates to the Carnival Committee to be selected by a pi1cked Board of Judges composed of Mrs. Jos·eiph May, Mr. Carmen Donnaruma, and Dr. James Vail. The response was tremendous and the final selection of the Queen and her four Princesses was extremely difficult. Another factor in the interest in this year's affair was the f,urious controversy over the Student Council's act in supporting Jerry Malafronte's decision to have the traditional Ice Carvings. On the Saturday following the big event, a Jazz Concert will be held in Xavier Hall. Featured at the concert will be the newly formed Fairfield University "Stag Stompers," led by Bill Connell '56. That same evening, an informal dance will be held a'gain in Xavier Hall. The music will be supplied by the F'airfield University Dance Band. This dance is being sponsored by the Bridgeport, Wa.terbury, Valley, New Haven, Metropolitan, and (Continued on Page 4) The Student Council has recently annQunced the appointment of John Oagnassola as chairman of the 1957 Mid-Winter Carnival.

Among his other achievements are his feats on the baseball diamond, and the co-chairmanshi'p of this years JuniorSenior Dance. This is the first time that a Mid-Winter Carnival chairman has been named so early in the year, and the innovation is not without purpose. John is certain to gain valuable experience working with Jerry Malafronte on this year's committee.

Interprets the News By DAVID McCARTHY On Tuesday, January 10, the radio program "Fairfield University Interprets the News" presented a lively and controversial discussioI\ on the press. Joining Professor John A. Meaney were Rev. John Bonn, S.J., of the University's faculty and two students, Arthur Bennett, '56, and David McCarthy, '57. The discussion brought out~>--------------many :£acts. Freedom of the Fairfield Alumnus press means that the press is • • free to print the truth, without ComnllSSloned Officer fear of governmental controls. The reasons given by many of today's publications were debunked. Rather than cater to advertising, which demands more subscribers and thus have to use "appealing and sensational matter," the press should strive for truth keeping in mind the right of privacy, justice to which the pr,ess has at times proved a handicap,) and the moral duty of decency, versus obscenity. The famous "Pope favors Rosen:bergs" headlines, and the breakup of a Hollywood marriage by a columnist's writings, as well as certain publications, were among the ex:amples cited. The common belief in the relativity of truth was refuted a belief which was illustrated by the December 12th issue of "Life" in which there appeared an article rationalizing religion. The press, because of its power (200,000,000 readers) has a vast reSIPonsibility toward truth. The existence of some 10,000 Communist newspapers in 86 lalllgua'ges proves what failure in this responsibility can lead to. (This does not take into account the Communist infiltration on American Newspapers in the person of many columnists.) In a parting word, Father Bonn exhorted the public to us·e all means poss~ble in seeing that the truth is printed.

Well, fear not fellow students, still imbued with the recent Christmas spirit, I shall explain to you a system worked out by a very good fri.end of mine, and a former student at Fairfield, Roland Hotchkiss. Roland came to Faireld in 1950 from Tedium High in Howdryiam, N.Y., where he had been recently elected "Most Likely to Make Out." Roland. entered his college full of good humor, and a knowldge of playing the banjo. Needless to say he became quite the gay blade, life of the party around the campus, and a well known sight to girls of nearby colleges. A big man on Campus, he soon distinguished himself on the school paper with his knowledge of newspaper fillers, e.g., there are five grams of silver in a Spanish peseta. Roland was also awarded the honor of a membership in the Alki Club, and in his senior year elected to the Corps de Kiwi in the Birdwatchers Club. After a semester of carousing Roland was suddenly faced with the fact of Mid Term Exams. Following several unsuccessful attempts on his own life he decided the situation had to be faced. His first exam he noted was history, immediately he decided to flick out to all the historical movies as was possible. Since his second exam was French he decided to go only to French historical movies. The math exam had him stumped until he remembered an old girl friend who had been good in math in high school, so he took her to all the movies. The English exam didn't bother him, after all he had been speaking it all his life. For his theology exam he Father Hogan recently spoke h I to the Sodality concerning New took one night off from going to istorica movies to Year's res{)lutions. He asserted see the movie, "The Ten .commandments." His final that these resolutions are good exam was economics, so Roland speculated heavily with in that it is one way of develop- the funds of the Alki Club Treasury making a huge ing yourself. H{)wever, many people fail to keep such resolves profit on Consolidated Air. Roland is now retired on usually because they are either his farm in Gettysburg, 111., where he lives in compara-too broad or not practical. One h good resolution for the New tive simplicity surrounded by fifteen servants and is Year, he stated, would be for us lovely wife, Abernatha. to use our talents and do a little extra studying, especially with This issue of The Stag brings an end to my pleasant finals coming up. This is cer- association with the paper. It has been a lot of fun tainly one that should not be writing this column, I hope that those of you who read it broken. ------------ enjoyed it. If I have hurt anyone's feelings unjustly, I apologize. In poking fun at different things around campus I've also poked fun at myself; so that just about squares everything away. In his address to the Sodality, Father Bonn emphasized the personal sanctificati{)n od' a S'Odalist. He said that both personal and social sancti,fication are necessary in the work of the Sodalist. Logically speaking though, you are the first. In the temporal -order howe,ver it must be remembered that personal sanctification of oneself cannot be perfectly achieved. Er,go, let's help others get eternal salvation as long as we are pretty sure we can make it upstairs ourself! The last Devotional the Sodality held was opened on a cheery note when it was announced that Father 'Murphy will be back with us for our next meeting. As we all know Father was sick for awhile and s.peaking for the Sodality we are most glad to see him back. D.J.McC. The End Underhanded Opposition The Catholic Truth Section has added a few more pamphlets to its rack down in Xavier J T S Hall. Among those are "Modern • • • Youth and Chastity" and "Je-hovas Witnesses Exposed." Also, because of the demand, additional copies of "An1erica' have been procured.

In order to carry out this pI'ogram, a student tax was deemed necessary. Whereas in other schools such costs to the student run much higher, the small sum of one dollar was set up by the Council. A collection date was arranged and publication of same was provided for. What was the result? Several posters were drawn up and posted with the permission of the Dean of Men. They were put in suitable places throughout Xavier Hall. Not long afterwards, however, they had been taken down by persons who did not care to make them- ~lves known. This happened more than once. But he collection took place. A new sign was added to the fatalities. It was torn off the collection table. The tax was unsuccessful due to the lack of cooperation on the part of the student body and also due to the failure of the publicity to reach the students. Opposition is healthy. When a group of students have a legitimate reason for opposing any action of the Council, there are reasonable means for making this opposition known. However, the means that were used this past week do not constitute legitimate opposition. No objections were brought into the open. What actually happened was that a few students who like to be called members of Fairfield, showed their lack of true pirit, intelligence and maturity in depriving their Council and other students of information which was rightfully publicized and which they have a right to know. This issue of the Stag marks the end of the present editorial staff of the paper. At this time I would like to congratulate my successors, David F. Barry and Ted Measom and wish them the best of luck. To Dave, my News Editor, my thanks for seeing to it that all the news was in on time - even if it meant writing the entire paper himself. To Ted, the former Business Manager, my thanks also for securing enough ads to keep The Stag running in the black. Many, many thanks are due also to: Art Conway, retiring feature editor; Dave McCarthy, his successor~ Jack Crowley and John Cagnassola, make-up editors; Bob Berthelson and Jack Toal, photographers; Bob chreck and Paul Nagy, sports editors; and Don Gabriel, exchange editor. I have worked with these men for the past year and can say with all sincerity that it has indeed been a pleasure to have them on my staff. They have worked hard and have done the best with the facilities given ~hem. My thanks again to all for the help they have given me, and to my successors, I offer the hope that Their Stag will be the best yet.

BARRY Every so often there emerges from the American intellectual community a voice "crying aloud in the wilderness." The most recent of these is the noted columnist, Walter Lippman, in his book, The Public Philosophy. Mr. Lippman's theme is the general lack of a a code of public ethics in the United States, a lack which has developed gradually over the years of our existence as a nation. He holds that the moral standards which were recognized ,as binding and as the basis for our liberty by the authors of the Declaration -of Independence and the Constitution have been let slip to the point that the average man is no longer aware of their existence. This has created a dangerous situation in a time when the pressure of mass opinion plays such an important part in the creation of our governmental policy. The central theme is seriously handled and fully developed. The first draft was made back in 1939 when dictatorial fascism was at its height and the events of the intervening decade and a half have convinced the author that unless the secular, democratic state can regain its raison d'etre, it will destroy itself. Sheed and Ward are in the process of doing humanity a very large favor. They are in the process of re-issuing many volumes of Chesterton which have been long out-of-print. The only panacea lean offer to the disgruntled, disgusted, and despairing is to read Chesterton. An hour or two of Chestertonian song and wine, superimposed on a hearthy, boisterous Christianity is usually a very good cure for the after-effects of a bad day.

These included: "Muenchen," Peasant Wedding in the Schivalm and Singendes Deutschland. Public Affairs-International Relations Club Welcome t,o the newest club on the campus. This group has selected Robert J. Imbro as its president. The other officers include: David F. Barry, Vice- President; Frances H. Doherty, Secretary, and James Miasterson as Treasurer. New York Metropolitan Club Plans are moving forward rapidly toward the proposed Glee Club Concert in Ne-w York. Bruce Kennedy has been appointed Arrangements Chairman. Letters have been sent out to the A.Iumni and !parents of the Metropolitan area. These letters seek to build the support of these very vital groups for this venture. The success of the concert will depend on the support of thel aforementioned groups. "I have personally emphasized the German concept of the Gefolgschaftidee (notion of followers) to my German students. I do not deny that even now the authoritarian structur-e survives, because in Germany today, German lalbor unions are still servile to employers, German capitalists are doing their best to revive old cartels, and Lebensraumis being persued by German businessmen from India to Peru. "Germany is still Germany, and its military helplessness is temporary. But, that the furor Teutonicus is hereditary and incorrigible, is to be denied. Wise American policy is based on the assmnption that a cure is possrble through environmental change. The German environment since World War II has changed more radically than the environment of anY' other nation." Professor C'tester }. Stuart Discusses Germany At Dinner Campus Personality "Germany is considered to be an ally in any forthcoming hostilities," declared Professor Chester J. Stuart in an address to members of the Deutscher Kultur Verein of Fairfield University at a recent supper meeting in the Turf Club. Introduced by Dr. Gerard B. McDonald, Associate Professor of Modern Languages at the University, and Moderator of both the DKV and French Clubs (a phenomena "impossible in modern E-urope"), Professor Stuart posited the premise that the German will support any government which will secure for him a minimum standard of living and which can offer an equitable culture. He added that the German thinks little of what we in the U.S. call political freedom, but much of the wise economic provisions for the security of life. Professor Stuart emphasized the international tensions.

RIder continued to pull away during the third period. At the end -of the third quarter the score was 61-45. Led by Pedro Tagatac with 8 points - Jack Smyth and Capt. Lenny Paoletta with 6 points each, the Stags surged back and whittled down Rider's 20 point margin to only 4. With only three minutes remaining, the Stags tried desperately to cut this margin. However in their attempt to do this they committed several very costly fouls which enabled Rider to win going away. Tagatac hit with 8 field goals and 6 fouls for 22 points. Jack Smyth, playing his finest game of the year clicked for 18 points and Lenny Paoletta with 8 field goals had 16 points. Heigbt-Disadvantage Disastrous To F.U.

Dan Kraninski bowled a string of 140 which looked as a sure trophy winner only to be surpassed by the unpredictable string of 143 by Nick DePoalo. There has been such enthusiasm shown for bOlWling that the committee (Vin S'cully and Hal Bowman) anticipate forty teams -for the handicap tournament beginning in February. Mike Mullen Froank McGowan Kenny O'Brien Frosh Win Over Raybestos Cardinals The Fairfield Frosh took their first game of the campaign as they halted the Rayibestos Cardinals 84-81. !Mike Mullen was high man for the Fr-eshmen as he combined six field goals and 17 foul shots for 29 points. His roommate, Frank McGowan, shared the scoring burden as he hit for 20 Doints. The Cardinals held a 26-18 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Frosh surged back to tie the game at 38 all by the end of the half. Raybestos came back strong and moved away to a ten point margin mid-way during the third period. Mike Mullen with 9 points in this quarter, aided the squad to cut down the lead to four ipoints by the end of the period, 58-54. With four minutes to go in the game, the Oardinals held a 71-68 margin. A driving layup by Mullen resulted in a 3 point play. Immediately aftel'Wards Mullen intercepted a pass and converted it to give the Frosh a margin which they never a'gain relinquished. The other scorers for the Frosh were John Avignon with 12, Kenny O'Brien 10, and Dave Carpenter 9. * ~ Utilizing a closely knit defense, a determined Fair-field quintet battled its way to a 72-53 victory over once beaten New Haven Teachers. Before a stunned gathering in the spacious Teachers' gymnasium the hungry Stags, led by the prolific sooring~~------- of Jack Smyth, captured that elusive first vktory. New Haven o·pened the scoring with a three point surge whi1ch "Dixie" Pavel out down with a driving layup. The Owls then rallied for three points while allowing a foul conversion by Smyth and held their largest and last lead of the night. After quick hoops by Pavel and Smyth the score was tied at seven apiece. Paoletta then fired a long set shot which gave the fighting R-edmen a lead they never relinquished. Smyth, who had "hot hands" throughout the half was continually set up by his t.eammates. He alone accounted for 17 of the Sta-g points when he left the floor with two minutes and 43 seconds remaining. At this stage of the game the Stags led by a 3627 margin. However, "Topsy" DelGobbo, a supeI1b performer for the T-eachers, closed the gap to 36-31 at the half. Stags T-ake Lead The speedy well-coached Hanrahan pupils racked up a commanding 15 point lead as the dock showed 11 :02 remaining in the second half. Seemingly defeated, the Owls raced back into contention with seven con~ secutive points. This drive was sparked by 6'4" Frank Switas. It was at this point that the anxious Te.achers learned a lesson about the foolishness of fouls for Smyth and Ta'gatac calmly comlbined for ten consecutive points from the free throw stripe. With the Stags leading by a commanding 66-51 margin, Pedro Tagatac, a tremendously gritty and tireless pemomner, was forced to leave the game with a knee injury. Miko, Hanley, and Bartamoccia combined with two pointers to give the Stags their final 72-53 margin. Smyth High Man To single out the top performer on the floor would be impossible. Smyth led the scoring with 25-points. He made 68% of his shots. Paoletta, the 0001 headed oaptain garnered 10 points besides directing the team offensively and defensively. Tagatac, who made eight consecutive free throws in the second half, not only scor-ed 14 points but contributed many ste·als through his cat-like reflex:es. Pavel played his usual steady game, rebounding well and added 13 points to the point total. But probably the most s,atis,fying perromnance was the defensive work of Frank Hanley. The sophomore L-R: Father Farrington, Pedro Tagatac. Harry Riede. Bob Jessick. was tremendous under the Bob Gallagher. boards, garnering 22 rebounds and initiating the Stags fast breaking atta-ck. From the all important foul striJpe the Stags hit for 28 successes out of 32 attempts for a stu pen d 0 u s 87.5%. In fact, the team scored 18 of 19 in the second half. Certainly the green, heightless team has been transformed into a fighting, fleet, smart unit under the fine tutelage of Coach Hanrahan. Bowling About seventy students partidpated in the Fall Tourna" ment. This tourney was run on the process of elimination so that the final match ultimately consisted of the best eight teams. There were many upsets, for example, Cox and Ohijieski, favorites in the tourney, lost by * * Intramural Tournament Ends Trophies Awarded Winners The Ping Pong Tournament, which ran for five weeks, and saw many thrillin'g matches, ended with freshman Harry Riede taking top honors as the school's top player. The best of s~ven games semi-final and final matches were by far the most exciting. Individual champs: Freshman - Harry Riede; Sophomore Bob Jessick; Junior - Pedro Tagatac; Senior - Bob Gallagher. Riede won his semi-final match over B~b Jossick, soph champ, before a cr,owd of over fifty students. Jossick for,ced the champ to go the seven g-ames before bowing. In the finals Riede, spirited by his close victory over Jossick, outmaneuvered a talented and hard-ifightiI1'g Bob Gallagher. Riede drove and placed his shots well. The score of four games to two gives little indication of the evenness of the match, nearly each game was a deuce game. Many players are looking forward to the Winter Tournament which will begin on February 5. It is the hope of the ping P0Il!g committee (Alphonse Avitcrble and Fred Beloin) that at least fifty students will sign up. Fairfield University has never seen such a successful intramural program as the 'one being employed this year. Since I am still in the praising mood, this might be a good spot to heap some of the praise on the Intramural Sports Committee and Father Charles Farrington. The news and photographs on this sports page are ample proof that Father Farrington and his ,committee have given much more than what was required of them. Their enthusiasm and hard work have been appreciated by the sports staff as well as the student body in general. They said it while he was in high school; they said it when he starred with the freshman team two years ago; they said it last year when he first saw action as a varsity cager: "He's too small, he'll never make out." So what happened? Pedro Tagatac is currently leading the Red Stags in the point-making department besides being the team's best defensive ball-hawk. When he is not rippling the nets with high-arching set shots or leading a fast break, he is either stealing opponents' pass~s or throwing a wrench of some kind into their offensive maneuvers. A minute doesn't pass without Pedro making an important contribution to his team. In an off-year with only a mediocre team, Pedro is one of the few exceptionally bright spots. A little guy always starts out on his athletic -career with two strikes against him. Make that two and a half in basketball. He has to dig deep into his bag of tricks and develop special talents that will overcome the obstacle of size. Pedro has developed his quick reflexes, his deadly shooting eye, and an unreserved energy to roam the hardwood like a gazelle, to such a degree that he has assumed the position of leading scorer and playmaker on a college basketball team. Tell this to any observer five years ago that Pedro some day would make the grade, and the most you'd get in reply might be a contemptuous sneer. But make the grade, he has, and it is a genuine pleasure to watch a five foot, eight inch ballplayer stand head above shoulders in talent over his taller opponents on the court.

FO 8-9471 "Tops in Town" By AL BOBAY ARTISTS and MODELS S·tarring: Dean Martin and Je,rry Lewis Gorgeous girls, one hero, one foil, six new song hits and hilarity. unlimited are effectively blended to produce the Vista Vision, technicolor film entitled "Artists and Models." The main course of events in this musical comedy revolve around the much loved, laugh evoking, and feeble minded foil commonly known as Jerry, who is in actuality the hero though not treate'd as such. Our friend Jerry is an insatiable and omnivorous reader of comic books, on which his mind sUibsists day and ni,ght. At night, as is his wont, he has comic book type nightmares and occasionally spouts atomic equations which are veritalbly authentic and potentially disastrous when in the wrong hands. Jerry's fanaticism for eomic books leaves both him and his friend Dean, jobless. Irwarialbly Jerry is incapable of doing anything sensible, and breeds trouble and dilemas wherever he works. When eventually they become pennyless, Jerry draws on his Quixotic idiosyncrasy of enacting the great pretender to turn beans into sizzling tenderloins and Soparkling champagne, all of which is very comical to ~ay the least. Befure too long this arrangement of putting mind over matter soon proves inadequate as a means of livihood thereiby forcing Dean to seek work. In the course of job-seeking, Dean meets a woman cartoonist -and her model. The model falls in love with Jerry and Dean in turn falls in love with the cartoonist. At this point foreign spies entrust to an attractive girl the job of getting Jerry's atomic formulas. In attempting to procure the formulas, the girl and spies are the cause of overall misunderstanding between everyone heretofore mentioned and other artists and models. Boring, repetitious, and inane parts of this picture are few enough s·o as not to detract from its general purport of hilarity which is successfully achieved. Needless to say that the Hollywoodian ending is "As you like it." Summing up: A colorful, humorous, and musical treat. |
