Court that these students dis­played

HOWEVER .
'TWAS GOOD!
We would like to extend our
congratulations to the Football
Club for their impressive per­formance
against lana last Fri­day.
The long awaited opening of
club football at Fairfield was
marked by a spirited effort that
was a credit to the team and the
University. In the determination
and hard play that brought the
team back from a dismal first
quarter we saw a fine example of
the true spirit of intercollegiate
athletics.
:Many fine tributes were paid to
the Club for their organization
A rule prohibiting drinking in
dormitories has been unexpected­ly
reversed by Georgetown Uni­versity.
Officials said the new policy,
which allows all men to keep both
beer and stronger beverages in
their rooms, was designed to help
students develop personal respon­sibility.
According to the Reverend An­thony
J. Zeits, director of student
personnel, authorities who have
studied the campus drinking issue
have concluded that "the forma­tion
of young men is facilitated
when they al'e given the freedom
to choose whether to use 01' not to
use alcoholic beverages."
Goorgetown officials also said
the move was made to end the
pretense of enforcing an unen­fOI'cible
rule - a pl'imary con­sideration,
according to several
students.
Studies of other colleges which
:1l1ow liquor on campus have
shown that "most students do not
over·indulge when allowed to
have alcoholic beverages in their
dormitolies." Father Zeits empha­sized.
The step taken by GeOrR'etowll
is a surprising one, according to
Gerry McCullough, news editor of
the student paper.
l\~~Cullough said the drinking
deCISIOn was handled quietly. The
The opening of club football at
Fairfield was man-ed by another
performance far less commend­able.
The rowdyism that charac­telized
the behavior of many stu­dents
in the stands would be un­fitting
on any occasion, and was
a sad note on which to open our
football season. At a time when
leadel'S seek more and more re­sponsibility
for the student body,
the sight of such childish com·
portment is a sorry one. Fortun-

THE BEST IN LAUNDERING
WE FOLD 'EM TOO!
by Stepbea M. iludd
Fairfield finished a great deal of its unfinished business this
summer. The Student Center is just about completed, the liti­gation
blocking the new dormitory has been resolVed, the major
departments have been beefed up with a 25 per cent rise in pro­fessors,
and we, the vital element, have returned to finish the
business of our educations. The summer has treated us well; the
campus has never been as relaxed and few are willing to otrer
any pervasive criticisms of our life here at Fairfield. Not that
everyone is contented. A smokey cloud of malicious criticism can
still be seen hovering over the visages of a few students; but,
the general sentiment seems to say that things are goine \'er:r
well.
Any criticism that should be otrered can be injected into an
atmosphere of relative peace and quiet and can be given up with
the sole aim of perfecting an already good thing. Otrered in an)'
other spirit - or with any other intent - it brings with it a
destructive and derisive force that is not needed on this campus.
I would venture to confine this week's column to a few small
observations. Whoe\'er has landscaped (albeit it has not been
completed) the interior of the Student Center has eclipsed the
natural beauty that already surrounds the building. 1be rectangu­lar
windov.-'S immediately focus one's attention on the trees and
shnJ.bs that are ten-ac::ed around the bu1l~, and the natural
beauty of its setting does not need plastiC! replacements. The in­terior
of the building, it seems, was ideally designed to harmonize
with Its environs and these masses of jungle flora add nothing
but discord to the picture.
The roles under which we live as members of the campus
community are more sharply defined this year than ever before.
This is as it should be, but I would hope that Its sanctions remain
sufficiently flexlblC! to be applied to particular C8SC!S. Since the
Student Court has encouraged litigation both on the basis of the
Student Handbook and on student to student relationships, stu­dents
should ma'ke use of its lC!gal powers to bring about litigation.
The new chapel In Loyola Hall is nothing short of magnifi­cent.
Those who aided in designing and engineering it deserve
the thanks of the student body for presenting one of the most
dyanmic changes in the physical makeup or the campus. Even
though the silent renovations made there did not draw the at·
tention of the student In the way the rising of the Campus
Center did, it has made a radical chMge on this campus. It has
erystalb:ed thC! all pervading Infiuence of our Faith on this
campus. The subject of the influence of Christianity in our dally
lives as studC!nts has been made the subject of mMy debates
here at Fairfield ending either in Ignominious pessimism or false
optimism. The new chapel has sharply illustrated by its design
the focal point of our education. Alpha and Omega, the first and
the last.
I have felt like a quick-change artist writing this weeks
column; writing a bit out of character for the premise on which
it was created, and )'et I have received the definite impression
in the past few .....eeks that Fairfield's future has never looked
-as bright, and that the best is yet to come

who arc able to help are either
blithely or evilly unconcerned:
the Fernclilles go off to Florida

I went to the Alvin Theatre

of George S. Kaufman and Edna

currently being served up in a
new production. The atmos­phere
was gracious, the com­pany

By "the servants of Mrs. Jor­dan"
I do not mean just the

such aristocrats of theatrical

In th(! "C" contest the ''young
PUPS," personified by Quentin
Murphy, battled Manhattan in
another defensive duel. In a
game which is usually char­acterized
by ragged and sloppy
play, Fairfield play was remark_
ably efficient. Bob "Knute"
Heine provided much needed ex­perience
and leadership through­out
the contest.
The only olfenslve punch was
displayed by flashy John Walsh
as hC! constantly broke through
for long gains. With the score
3-{) in Manhattan's favor, Fair.
field had chances to tie or win
the game but Jay Crane could
not lind the range on several
penalty kicks.
Although the defense held
Manhattan at bay for most of
the game, the olfense couldn't
manage a score and Manhattan
held on for their 3-0 win.
The ruggers win play host to
Rhode Island this Saturday by
