tor-in-chief of the school's first
yearbook. Daniel CUddy was
selected as associate editor.
Early in December the Ad­visory
Committee of the Junior
Class began to screen members
of their class for a capable edi­tor
of their yearbook. Names of
eleven candidates were submit­ted
and, by the Australian ballot
system the worthy candidates
were chosen. Reverend E. W.
FitzGerald, S.J., then selected
the worthy candidates from the
list submitted by the Advisory
Committee. Finally, the Junior
class officers voted on these
three candidates. Both the Ad­visory
Committee and Father
FitzGerald selected Edward

Planning Debates
The Bellarmine Senior Debat­ing
Society is planning at the
present to embark into inter­collegiate
debating, according to
Reverend John Clancy, S.J.,
moderator of the organization.
The advent of these debates will
herald a new chapter in the his­tory
of Fairfield University. Up
to the present, the Debating
Society has limited itself to
intra-club debates here at school.

The office of the Dean has
announced that Reverend Ar­thur
MacGillivray, S.J., will
be the faculty moderator for
the Class of 1951 yearbook.
Father MacGillivray's appoint­ment
comes as a pleasant sur­prise
to everyone concerned, in­cluding
Editor-in-chief Edward
Flannery.
Father MacGillivray, seriously
ill for six months, has only re­cently
resumed teaching his
English Literature classes. He is
certainly well qualified for the
work which awaits him.

Heads Prom .AtMid-WinterCarnival
Committee . by ~EORGE DlRG~ .
Plans for the thIrd annual MId-Wmter Carnival
Dance to be held Friday, February 3, 1950, at the Ritz
Ballroom in Bridgeport are now being completed by
the Dance Committee. According to Al Bown :md John
Reilly, co-chairmen of the Dance, those in att.endance
will dance to the music of Al Lombardy and his or­chestra,
featuring Joe Durese as vocalist.
The Mid-Winter Carnival,
sponsored by the Student Coun­cil,
is open to all classes. The
Mid-Winter Formal is one of
the two big dances of the college
year. The other, of course, is
the Spring Formal. In fact this
will be the first opportunity for
the Freshmen to attend a Fair­field
University formal dance.
To insure yourself of a fine time,
get your bids early.
Bids will go on sale one week
prior to this gala affair and the
price has been established at
$4.00 per couple. A ticket booth
will be set up in the cafeteria
to handle the sale of tickets and
is to be staffed by members of
the committee. Students will
have an opportunity to make
table reservations at the time of
purchase of their bids. Tables
will be set up to accommodate
from one to six couples. Those
making reservations should in­dicate
the number of couples to
be included in their party.
A bid designed by Harley
Black, who designed the bids
for last year's Mid-Winter Car­nival,
has been selected. It con­sists
of a white leather cover
with an embossed Stag's head
and a letter "F."
In an effort to defray the cost
of the bids and have a fine or­chestra
at the same time, while
keeping the purchase price of
the bids at a minimum, refresh­ments
will be omitted this year.

fountain will be open to accom­(

A sub-committee of the Ad­visory
Committee composed of
the Junior Class officers and
James Conklin, Vincent Nem­ergut,
Ciro Veneruso, Donald
Swanson and John Gorman re­cently
chose Harley S. Black as
chairman of the first Junior
Prom Committee.
The names of fifteen Juniors
who served on previous dance
committees were submitted to
the sub-committee. The choice
was made after each candidate
was judged for his ability, pre­vious
experience and endeavor.
Harley Black, who has ac­tively
taken part in many school
affiairs, previously was chairman
of the Spring Prom which was
held at Glorietta Manor last
year. It was a very successful
affair. This previous experience
will be invaluable to him in
making the prom the success
everyone wants it to be.
The Junior Class has again
set a precedent. For the
first time, mimeographed ques­tionaires
were passed out to all
Juniors as a means for determin­ing
the opinion of the class, as
a whole, towards the different
aspects concerning the Junior
Prom. The forms were distrib­uted
during Philosophy classes
on Monday and were collected
at the same time on Tuesday of
last. week. .
As yet nothing has been offi­cially
decided. However, here
are the results of the tabulations:
175 sheets were distributed; 153

~"r. McGratty Is This
y ear~s Retreat Master
On January 31 more than six hundred Fairfield
University students will attend the annual three-day
Retreat, after the semester examinations. This year the
Reverend Arthur R. McGratty, S.J., National Director
of the Apostleship of Prayer, an association with more
than 6,000,000 members in the United States, will be the
Retreat Master.
The Retreat traditionally
modeled on the Spiritual Exer­cises
of St. Ignatius will be con­ducted
in the auditorium of
Berchmans Hall. At the final
exercises of the Retreat on Feb­ruary
2nd the Solemn Consecra­tion
of the School to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus will take place.
Last year Father McGratty
was chosen by Rome to escort
the great Relic of St. Francis
Xavier through thirty American
Dioceses. This trip began in San
Francisco on August 30, 1949 and
wound up in mid-December,
with Francis Cardinal Spellman
receiving the Relic at St. Pat­rick's
Cathedral in New York.
A high light of the Boston re­ception,
and representative of
the entire reception across the
country, was the throng of 45,­000
people who crowded Arch­bishop
Cushing's grounds at
Brighton. They attended the
outdoor veneration on a mid- Rev. Arthur McGratty, S.J.

A Navy Chaplain during the
war, Father MeGratty served
with the 8th Regiment of the
2nd Marine Division in the Sai­pan
and Okinawa campaigns.
Later, he worked at Nagasaki
and Kumamoto in Japan during
the Fall and Winter of 1945-46.
After his discharge from serv­ice,
Father McGratty was as­signed
to The Messenger of the
Sacred Heart. national monthly
magazine, as Associate Editor,
a position he held until his pres­ent
appointment. The Messen­ger.
which reaches more than
300,000 families, is the official
organ of the Apostleship of
Prayer.
Father McGratty is also the
author of a novel, Face to the
Sun and an historical drama,
Shadow of the Tree.

No Deadly Medicine
How long will it take some people to realize that
God, alone, has dominion over life <;l.nd death? That God
alone should have this dominion is self-evident. Un­fortunately,
ho\o"\rever, many people close their eyes to
this fact. Since God created all life, then God alone has
the power to take life away.
It is, indeed, striking to know that the Euthanasia
Society of America, Inc., received its impetus from the
Euthanasia Society found in England. It will also be
recalled that the Reformation, with all its rationalistic
tendencies, found fertile grounds in which to plant the
seeds of immorality in England. I say immorality
because the new churches turned from the church in­stituted
by Christ, and in so doing modified God's im­mutable
laws to suit themselves and all their selfish­ness.
Recently, Dr. Charles Frances Potter along with
400 ministers from New York expressed their contempt
for those persons laboring under the "illusions or de­lusions
about the alleged character-making or soul­saving
value of the final horrible, torture (cancer)." In
other words, God is not alone in His right to take away
life. Mortal man, therefore, becomes God's equal, for
he too can take away lives at his own discretion. This
is typical non-Catholic thought. These protagonists of
:he Euthanasia movement are definitely the products
of the rationalistic Reformation. Whereas men should
regulate their lives by keeping their ultimate superna­tural
end in sight, they now concern themselves with
what exists here and now, giving no thought to the
Final Judgment.
The repercussions, however, resulting from mercy
killings are not echoed merely in the standings taken
by the churchmen, but the doctors of medicine also
are divided by this controversial issue. It is indeed
strange how any doctor can go against his pledge. But
some do, for they disregard the fact that upon their
graduation from medical school they took the Hippo­cratic
oath in which is stated: "I will give no deadly
medicine to anyone if asked, nor suggest any such
counsel."
If such things as mercy killing were permitted, it
would certainly give the state the right to eliminate
those people suffering with incurable diseases. But, then,
the government would have an excellent excuse for
eliminating undesirables, whether incurably ill or not.
There is no doubt that the Euthanasia movement would
certainly bring about the utter corruption and elimina­tion
of our moral code and the ultimate destruction of
our society. Where murder is now considered a trans­gression
of our moral code, it could ultimately come to
be condoned by an immoral society. This is a critical
time. We must decide now whether mass murder will
be the keynote of our society or whether morality will
continue to hold its place in our American society.

YEARBOOK
(Continued from Page One)
Flannery, editor-in-chief, and
Daniel Cuddy, associate editor.
This was the initial step in
producing Fairfield's first year­book.
Flannery and Cuddy are
confronted with the task of
planning a book suitable for our
school and agreeable to mem­bers
of their class. They will
determine what the students
want included in it, who will
print it, how much it will cost,
when it 'must be completed, and
who will work on the staff.
The yearbook will be a prod­uct
of the Junior class under the
guidance of Flannery and
Cuddy. On Monday, January
9th a questionaire was distrib­uted
among members of the
Junior Class to ascertain who
would work to produce the year­book.
The results of this poll
were encouraging since so many
of the juniors responded. Over
forty of the class have had ex­perience
in such publications.

New York University's School
of Dentistry basketeers will em­bark
from New York on Friday
afternoon, will arrive in Bridge­port
about an hour later, travel
to the Armory. and prepare for
the ensuing struggle with the
Stags of Fairfield University. Be­yond
this item of information,
the sports department was un­able
to discover any additional
facts about these mysterious vis­itors,
who have been scheduled
for the open date on Friday, Jan­uary
20.
We know nothing of their rec­ord,
nor of their players, but
their is plenty of room for spec­ulation.
Just the fact that they
are from New York University
is an indication that they will
be a fairly formidable team. Add
to this the fact that they are an
independent club, using the
name of the school, but not spon­sored
by it, and it would seem
that the S.tags will have their
hands full.
We would also like to notify
our readers that there will be
no game scheduled for Febru­ary
10, our other open date.
The annual ping-pong tourna­ment
will begin on Monday, Feb­ruary
6th. The A.A. has taken
charge this year, and has ap­pointed
a committee to arrange
and supervise the matches. None
of the committee will be al­lowed
to play in the tournament.
Those who wish to enter are
asked to sign a list which will
be placed at the bookstore.
Everyone will be paired by se­lecting
names from a hat. From
then on, it will be a process of
elimination.
The name of the champion
will be inscribed on the plaque
which was obtained last year.
The A.A. is now trying to find
a suitable place to mount this
plaque permanently.
This is the third tournament
to be held here at Fairfield. The
first year Tom Flaherty won the
championship, and last year Bon
Steele took it from him. This
year has seen the development
of many players and the compe­tition
should prove much keen­er.
Please get your name in early,
if you plan to enter, so that
everything will be ready by
February 6.

New Haven Teachers
maintained their precious lead
despite a strong Fairfield finish
to top the Jesuits 60-56. With
Jack Sullivan on the sidelines
with an injury, the Stags trailed
throughout the game. Time ran
out on the surging Fairfielders
despite Mullady's 22 points, most
of them coming in the second
half rally.
The Stags defeated Hillyer In
a torrid game 68-63. This was
close all the way with the score
tied at 53 all at the fourth quar­ter.
Fairfield took the contest
finally with Mullady sparking
the closing drive. Jack Sullivan
was high man with 17, while
Moffett garnered 13. Mullady
and Roach hit for 10 apiece.
Fairfield was edged by Bridge­port
64-59, but only ,after a bruis­ing
bitter battle, flying fish, torn
nets and what have you. The
lead changed hands many times,
but finally in the last quarter,
when the first team was out on
fouls, Fairfield dropped behind
and the Purple Knights went on
to victory. In a thrilling display
of better basketball the Stags
went ahead 12-3 mainly by the
efforts of Miko, Sullivan and
Mullady. However U.B. came
back strong and led at half time
32-31. Bridgeport in the final
minutes of the game held its
slim lead despite the gallant at­tempt
of Regensburger and Mof­fett.
Lengyel and Hustek spark­ed
Bridgeport to victory.
A few days previous, an un­defeated
Iona club was surprised
when the Stags played brilliant
ball in the first half but then the
dam broke and Iona took the
final laurels by winning 66-48.
Returning from the Christmas
holidays the Stags were uver­powered
by St. Anselem's 86-65.
Joe Kehoe with 18 points was
outstanding for the Jesuits. On
December 16, F.U. opened up on
Danbury Teachers and won
easily 83-44. Jack Sullivan
paced the team by dropping in
23 points.

PROM NOTES
(Continued from Page One)
Juniors pledged to attend the
dance; 54 members of the class
desired to work on the commit­tee.
The committee will be
chosen from these applicants ac­cording
to their qualifications.
The majority of the class was
in favor of holding the Prom in
New Haven. The majority were
willing to pay from $7.50 to
$10.00 for bids. They also fa­vored,.
by a majority, to allow
Sophomores to attend the dance
upon invitation of a Junior
Class member.
We repeat, these tabulations
are in no wise definitive of the
final decisions; they merely give
an indication of the Juniors'
opinions on the details concern­ing
their Junior Prom.
The affair promises to be a
gala one. However, the brunt
of the labor is yet to come. We
wish to extend the best to Har­ley

:'fable Chatter
An interesting article entitled
""Adam in the Looking Glass"
appeared in the New York
Times magazine section last
Sunday. It announced the un­veiling
by the Costume Insti­tute
()of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art of a "comprehensive
showing of men's fashions" from
the fourteenth century to the
speculative future stylings as
envisioned by a dozen WOMEN
designers. The "future stylings"
immediately drew our attention.
The article, complete with
photos of male models wearing
the designers' ideas of "com­fort,"
"glamor" and "humor in
men's clothing," was shown to
some of the would-be victims­namely,
our male students. (Not
that we have females!) As an­ticipated,
the remarks were very
interesting, indeed. All indi­rectly
showed a "thumbs-down"
attitude to the feminine touch.
Focusing his attention on the
models, Daniel Curtin was ra­ther
confused whereupon he re­marked,
"I wonder which one
has the TONI??" (No, no, Dan.
Look again!)
Perhaps the most dejected of
all was Tom Braheney who re­plied,
"If that's a preview of the
50's, then give me the 40's."
(Maybe they still have that New
Year's hangover, Tom.)
John Sullivan showed deep
concern and tried to demonstrate
the ridiculosity of the designed
clothing by demanding to know,
"What about the plunging neck­line??"
(In their haste they must
have overlooked that important
item, John. Remember what
