Mr" Freedman Speak On U.N.
By PETER BALDETTI
Recently, Mr. Samuel Freedman, a prominent
Bridgeport lawyer, discussed with the Foreign Relations
Club the problems of the United Nations. Mr.
Freedman's ingratiating manner, as well as the importa,
nce of his SUbject-matter, made his talk an interesting
and impressive one.
He began his talk with some
startling statistics - The average
income of three out of four
people in the world is less than
seventy dollars a week. Half
the people In the world go
hungry every day. The average
life expectancy in Asia is thirty
years. Compare that with the
United States' average expectancy

you will realize the true horror
of the situation.
What does the United Nations
do about all of this? Many
things. The World Health Organization

Traditional Ice Carving at the Ritz greets Winter Carnival
Merry-Makers.
By JOSEPH LUKIW
Glitter, glamor, royalty, rhythm, renewal of old
acquaintances and the beginning· of new friendships
were some of the elements that found their place in ,this
year's Winter Carnival.
The Snow Queen of the 1956'<>-------
Mid - Winter Carnival was
criowned at the formal dance on
Friday night, February 10, in
the person of a radiant Miss
Frances Heldmann of West
Hartford. Enhancing Her Majesty's
beauty was her court of
lovely princesses who attended
her. Miss Heldmann's escort was

to the NT.C.C.S.
The Queen's Court comprised
Mary Illy, of Waterbury, escorted
by Jack Moriarty, '56; Patricia
Dube. of Stratford, escorted
by Art Conway, '56; Jeanne
Degnan of New Haven, escorted
by Dave McCarthy, '57; and
Connie .Minicucci of Waterbury,
whose date was Bob Ianucci,
'59.
The formal itself was a
smooth, well-organized affair.
As the eager couples, urged on
only by a slight nip in the air,
strode briskly to the entrance of
the Ritz ballroom, they were
greeted by two resolute, icecarved
Stags. Judging by the
comments heard, the mood that
George Weising captured in his
ice sculptures could be interpreted
as staunch public opinion
standing firm - and having
the final say.
Once inside the ballroom, a
small part of the hard work of
Jerry Malafronte, '56, and his
committee became apparent in
the form of the painstaking

With this issue, the responsibility for the Stag falls
to a new staff of editors. Although the guidance and
direction of this newspaper will be new, the paper wil1II41"~~
not be divorced from the traditional high standards I L- ---J
which have been set by past editors. It is our hope to
retain that excellence which has distinguished the Stag
from the mass of college newspapers. Under the aegis
of J. Thomas Sheehan, '56" the Stag reached a plateau
of excellence which far surpassed that of past years.
While to progress beyond this plateau is a task of great
magnitude this program shall be our goal for the next
twelve months. If we succeed, the satisfaction of a job
well done shall be the reward of all of us o~ the staff.
If we fail, then the responsibility shall rest on the
Editors-in-Chief alone.
In line with the fulfillment of 'our responsibilities
to the student body, we would like to remind each
stude.nt that the Stag is an organ of expression as well
as a journal of past events. As such, we would like
very much to see many more le'tters to the Editors expressing
the views of the student body on articles in the
Stag. or on affairs pertinent to the University.

The pr,oblem is that of transferring

despite these developments is
significant. The greatest danger
to the U.N., warned Mr. Freedman,
lies in the critics who expect

While it is true that this problem of corrupt amateurism
exists, it is also true that the two agencies governing
amateur athletics in America, the NCAA and
AAU, have done an excellent job in regulating and, in
many cases, disciplining colleges and other groups and
individuals who have sponsored amateur athletics.
Pegler uses as specific examples certain football players
who engaged in college competition for seven and eight
years. What he fails to point out is that this happened
frequently in the old days when the NCAA was nonexistant
and the jurisdiction of the AAU was weak.
We will not deny that American amateur athletics
has been exploited as a means of finance for colleges,
nor will we deny that it has given many young men a
chance to an education, a chance to attain a higher position
in life. In all sincerity, we can say that the skiers,
skaters, and bobsled men that we sent to (~ortina this
winter and that the track and field men, the swimmers,
and the basketball players who will represent us in
Melbourne are truly amateur athletes!!
The spring prog,ram f·or in-tramural
spo'rts has been re,cently
announced by F'ather Farrington,
Director. Included in
the program are oowling, saftball,
ping-lpOng, and g'oH. Father

The formation of a softball

The object of Peglers criticism is one Father Braun,
an Assumptionist priest who served as American chaplain
at Moscow for thirteen years. Father Braun warns
us of the rigorous training of the Soviet amateur athletes
who will be competing against ours in the
. Olympics. "Never does it enter the mind of an American
ama'teur to give up his job to devote seven or eight
months a year to intensive ... training as goes on in
the USSR." Thus, Father Braun concludes that action
by the Olympic Committee should be taken in order to
curb this unfair practice.
Pegler's axe to grind against the Assumptionist is
his naivete to the corruption of American amateur
sports. This corruption, the columnist cites, "Originated
in the centers of high education," where sports has
become a huge financial enterprise for universities and
colleges.

A raft of students have already earned $25 in Lucky Strike's
Droodle drive. By June, hundreds more will. Better get with it.
It's like taking candy from a baby.
Do as many Droodles as you want. Send them, complete with
titles, to Lucky Droodle, Box 67A, Mt. Vernon, N. Y. Include your
name, address, college, and class-and the name and address of the
dealer in your college town from whom you most often buy cigarettes.
If we select your Droodle, we'll pay $25 for the right to use it,
with your name, in our advertising. And we pay for a lot of Droodles
that never appear in print! Talk about easy money! This is it!
