Panelists: J. McLean, J. Curiale', P. Driscoll, D. Browne, R. Buccino,
J. Kulowiec.
On Monday, March 7, the Feast of St. Thomas
Aquinas, the Aquinas Academy of Fairfield very appropriately
presented a panel discussion on Psychiatry. The
presentation, attended by all the upper-classmen, opened
wHh ,a prayer and a short talk by the Rev. Dean,
Fr. Healey. The purpose of the gathering was to
discuss the eminent psychiatrists of old and the more
prominent of the modern ones.
--------------0 The Academy divided itself
into two panels: one to discuss
the ord group and the other to
discuss the more modern. Jim
Curia~e, president of the society,
acted as chairman for both pan.els
The discussion leader for the
old panel was Bill Prendergast,
Vice President. He presented a
summary od' the fundamental beliefs
of the mo-st eminent of the
old Psychiatrists', Freud, Adler
and Jung, It was generally noted
that the older group tended towards
materialism a 1tho ugh
their methado'fogy cou~d possibly
be used.
The modern discussion led by
Joe Moretti, brought out the
basic doctrinesr O[ Carl Jung
Karen HOI1ney and Karl Stern,
the more prominent Psychiatris'ts
of the modern schooL Mr.
Moretti noted that, a,lthough
sometimes: errin,g in their interpretations,
this modern group
tended to be more spiritualiistic
in their thought than were the
older group.
Subsequent to the speeches, of
the discussion leaders the panels
were opened for questioning;
some of the more informative
were questions answered by
Charles Kara,zulas and Ray
Carey.

N.F.C.C.S. Holds Worl\.:shops
And Conferences On Campus
On Saturday afternoon, March 5, the Family Life
and Industrial Relations Commissions held combined
workshops for students from the Catholic Colleges of
New England and Eastern New York.
Hugh Boyle, co-chairman of0>--------------
Industrial Relations, opened the I'B' CI b H
first wocrkshop and introduced' USlneSS U ears
Qerry Garvey who gave a talk Talk On Securities
on the irnluence of Papal encyclica.
ls' on industry today. Gerry's
talk proved a fitting pcreamble
to the main speaker, Mr.
Charles W.eidman, pecrsonnel 0[ficer
for General Electric. Mr.
Weidman's talk proved very
thought-provoking. Among the
many points that he made were
that as a member of management
he could only give management's
viewpoint on the labor
problems, and that he felt that
management and labor could
never work together in: complete
happiness 'and cooperation. He
also stated that the labor-marn'agement
situation is closer to'
the principles of the Church
now than it has ever been in
the past.
Throughout .hisl talk a restlessness
waS! visible as the students
becam,e more and more eager to
question some of his points. A
bacrrage of questions followed
his talk and Mr. Weidman gave
m,any expecrt answersl.
At the close of the Industrial
Relationsr Iworkshop, the delegates
repail'ed to the library
where Jim Rourke and the Family
Life Commission presented
Father John L. Clancy S,J., who
spoke from his army expecrience
ni giving a very excellent picture
of the merits and demerits
of young marriages' in the
Paul Check renders opinion on modesty in dress at workshop
Then shiftirng to the market
itself he briefly explained the
widely- known Dow Jones averages
and showed that not too
much weight should be given to
their fluctuations to the exclusion
of other factors Having
pointed out the shortcomings of
the averages, Mr. Smith then
produced several graphs which
illJustrated that the parallel that
bearish analysts try to draw between
the long buH market of
today and .the pre-crash market
heights of 1929 does not hold.
However he made it clear that
----------------------------1 the statistical method of securityanalysis
is still a valid and
important one provided other
characteristics are weighted accordingly.
When plied witlh questionsl
from the floor. at the com.pleHon
of his taJk, Mr. Smith gave
his opiniOlIl' as to the future market
outlook for 1955. He looks
for a mid-year lull in! business
activity caused by an expected
sharp decrease in automobile
production coupled with a falloff
in steel production. The'
round of Spring wage contracts
with theth.ought of impending
strikes wm add to the tapering.off
of inflationary spending. But
the Fan season will find business
activity ,again on the rise.
The long term. trend, he pointed
out, is for continued prosperity
which should necessari'ly be reflected
in higher s'ecurity pric.es
backed by substantial earnings.
Byzantine
Mass Held
On Campus
Last Thursday in Berchmans
Hall a beautiful Mass of the anr
dent Byzantine Slavonic Ri,te,
was held for the entire student
body The Liturgy of this
Mass is of Oriental Nature and
had its origin two hundred years
before our Latin Rite Mass at
the begilllIliing of the 5th century
This liturgy was transllated
from the Greek of Saint John
Chrysostom to the Old Slavonic
by the missionary saints, Cyril
and Methodius. The Old Slavonic
is related to the various Slavonic
languages in much the
same way as Latin is related to
the modern RJomance languages'.
The Very Reverend Daniel P.
Mlaczkov V.F., Pastor of St. JoIhn
the Baptist Greek Cattholic
Church in Bridgeport was the
celebramJt of this Liturgy. The responses;
· were sung by students
of St. John's Parochial School
and by Geol'ge A. Kacan B.A.,
Cantor of St. Johns. The boys
choir sang m.uch of the Mas'S including
the Epistle, Offertory
pr,ayers and the Lord's Prayer.
The preparation of brea,d and
wine takes place on the side of
the altar. Three times throughout
the Mass the celebrant incenses
the :a~tar and the oonlgregation
with vigorness. Throug1hout
the Mass, all emphasis is
placed on the maj esty ,and tlhe
power of Almighty God. Tor the
Eastern people, God is looked
upon asa deified emperor because
of their traditi:on of reverence
to their ruler. All the responses

We sat huddled around our coffee cups, no one
spoke much, you don't at times like this, you just wait.
The silence was disturbed only by the striking of a
match held in trembling hands. Every once in a while
our eyes would swing up to the clock. Now it was eight
minutes to Zero hour. I worked the coffee down my
throat; its warmth restored some of my shattered confidence.
Three minutes to Zero hour. Two and a half
minutes to go. There was a shuffling of feet, our chief
Saul Treemount gravely shook hands with each one of
us. Forty seconds to Zero hour. Cragby was chewing
his fingernails. Twenty seconds to Zero hour. I was
counting the holes in the ceiling, trying to keep my
mind off what was to come. Ten seconds to go, Cragby
was down to his elbow, five seconds, THIS WAS IT.
The whistle blew and we ran to our positions in the lot.
Then we saw it, a broken down model T.
My job - park it.
I'm on the Traffic Commission here at Fairfield.
The gravel flew up in all directions, the "T" spun
around and settled right in front of the gate:
I walked over to it, and placed my foot on the running
board.
Alright, Mac, I said, what's the idea of 'Parking here.
Remember, I want the facts, and just the facts.
So I could get out easily, stoopid, he said, what's
it to you?
I flashed my badge, Tom Stix Straight Shooters,
WHOOPS wrong badge. I fished around in my pocket
and brought out the Parking Authority Badge.
The smile wiped off his face.
Alright, he snarled, ya got me, now what.
Just follow me, I said, and showed him where to
park.
Then the rush came on. Cars to the. right of us,
ca,rs to the left of us, we were surrounded, bravely we
fought our way out. By mid-morning the cars were
placed where we wanted them. There was no confusion,
just an orderly mess. The count was three men
and four cars lost. They had fallen into ,the holes. We
decided something had to be done about that. It was
agreed to drop some lunch down to them later.
Congratulating ourselves on a job well done, we
entered the building. Yet something was gnawing at
the back of my mind (fleas again). Suddenly it dawned
on me. Saul, I cried, we're undone. We for:got to leave
a path for the cars to get out. Saul said nothing, but
puffed on his pipe in a knowing way. Wait - puff puff

I hope you all agree with me that this program has
far-flung rewards and I, too, urge you all to speak to
your respective Council representatives, exhorting them
to support this matter at the next Council meeting.
J.T.S.
The once blazing Council fire
is rapidly being reduced to sev~
eral glowing embers by the apparent
lack of interest evidenced
at the last few gatherings
of Fairfield's politicos. The
beginning of the past two meetings
have found the aibsolute
minimum nUilliber of members
which constitute a quorum the
dogmatically proposing the -same
old solutions about the same
old problem.
One glow of excitement, however,
has flickered through the
dark do'ldrums of these past
meetings. This followed a discussion
on the parking problem;
during which one Council member
had his proposed solution to
the problem soundly defeat~dby
the rest of the group. When informed
why his motion was
voted down, said proponenrt
iraJtely accused his cohorts of
"being lazy and passing the
buck." The Council immediately
voted the motion and the entire
discussion to be stricken from
the minutes.
JH!ck Quilty's long-awaited
Carnival report was finally read
and without a doubt proved that
the Carnival} can be made into a
week-end affair and still be successful
firnandall'y. Acting on his
s t r 0 'l1J g recommendatiO'Il, the
Council haSi decided to select
next year's Carnival chairman
now, to give him enough time
to accomplish all the work necessary
to maroe the festivities
both enjoyable and successful.
Did Paul Tremont throw a
wrench in President Coiley's
"get-tough policy" when the
"fire - breather" answered the
presidenrt's demanJd for written
reports from committee chairmen
by resigning his post as'!legislative
committee head? Wasn't
this rather'a slow week with
only four casualties in the parking
lot, broken oil pan, broken
s~ock, ripped fender skirt, and
broken gas tank?.. Is the
Council getting soft or did they
simply forget to dev.ise that punishment
for tax offenders? . . .
The sixty-four dollar question
seems to be, "Will the Council
have a banquet this year?" and
,..------------------------.,I the sixty-four cent answer s'eemsr
to be "Not until the former
members kick in for last year's
feed." .
Out of this 25 dollar blanket fee,a certain sum
would be allocated to the Manor, and in this way help
alleviate the problem every class. faces when it comes
time to put out their yearbook - that of r.aising enough
money. Each student, too, would receive a copy of the
Manor and as a consequence would have a record of
the years spent at Fairfield. I know you Cl're thinking
that this plan is going to benefit only the Juniors since
they are the ones putting out the Manor. Obviously,
though, you oan all see ,that this proposal will help the
entire student body for in each junior year financial
worries regarding the Manor will be practically nonexistent.
With ,the payment of this sum the student would
be enti'tled to tickets for all dances except the MidWinter
Carnival, the cost of which would be about two
dollars. Tickets for all the home basketball games would
also be given to each student. Both ,these plans will
help to increase attendance at dances and the basketball
games, since I feel that if each student has already paid
for tickets for these affairs he would be more likely to
attend them rather than waste the tickets, or actually
the money paid for them. Many may claim that by this
set up we are forcing people -to do things they may not
want to do, but the fact is that while here at Fairfield
we are responsible for ,the success ·of the school's va'rious
events and this plan would positively insure that success
and fulfill that responsibility.

The project, a package plan, has been one long discussed
here at Fairfield, but work to further it has been I~.~'::/
at a standstill for quite awhile. It is a plan to enable
school functions to carryon their activities more easily
and encourage participation of the student body in these
affairs. The initial step in 'this project would be to
charge each student a fee of about 25 dollars at the beginning
of the school year. This fee is not necessarily
definite, but is merely an approximation.

The Hotel Bond was the headquarters

hon's tax bill. The amendment
was a clumsy open chal1'enge to
the president, one which sought
to pin the pro-big business label
on Eisenhower and the prolittle
ma,n tag on' the Democrats
as usual. In spite of the denunciations
of the G.O. Press this
strategy wil no doubt help come
'56.
The Democrats will need that
help but they willI need even
more in selecting a candidate.
Stevenson has been beaten once
by Eisenhower. The last congressional
election gave nothing,
and there has been nothing consequently,
which would indicate
that Stevenson will not be beaten
a,gain by Eisenhower. Like
Bryan. in his eloquence, he may
also be like Bryan in another
respect-being defeated by Republicans'--
should he run again.
W,ho else remains? The also-rans
of 1952, Sen. Russell, and Se'l1.
Kefauver? Governor Meyner of
New Jersey? Governor Harriman
of New York Senator Symington
of Missouri? Senator Lyndon
JO'hnson of Texas? All are
potential candidates.
The biggest question, one on
which may depend the whole
election, is the question of Eisenhower's
candidacy. The President
was rapidly becoming a
master art answering, "I won't
say yes and I won't say no, but
don't quote me," in various
ways to. this question until he
asked that reporters refrain
from questions on this topic. A
rormer soldier, the President has
a keen sense of duty, and should
he feel, or be persuaded, that he
owes it to his party aJILd to the
country, he may run. If he retires
to his new Larm in 1956 the
Republicans may· face another

one troublesome certainty, the
prospects and problems of reelection.
A man may revise

he may work out a reciprocal
trade program that will Please
both the eastern manufa'cturer
and the southern fa'rmer, he
may ,as Robert LatFollette Jr.
did, devise a monumental reorganization
plian. for congressional
committees; but if 'he neglects to
publicize his achievements, to
lit,eral:ly sell himself and his progr'am

career too often comes to
a temporary or final halt (as La,
Follette's diid.) Political control
in this country is very often the
result of eXalUstive publicity,
popu!l:arity, continual "f e n c e

to merit aTId ability. The fact is,
indisputable and generally realized
by pollitJiciaTIS.

in the near political future, and
never more obviously apparent
than when the party 'Out of power
anticipates a cl!ifficul,t stru~gle
to return to the purple.
The Democratic party faces
such a, s,truggle today. Their original
strategy has been to
leave the still populiar President
Eisenhower untouched until
he makes the big political
mistake the Democratics are
waiting for. Their target was,
"the men around him." This
strategy -enjoyed a limited success
in the past co.ngressional

break from this line of attack
came when the Democratic-control1led

in Bridgeport. FoUowing the
Mass>, Father DaTI (as the ce'lebrant
is so affectionately known
by his flock) spoke lJothe student
body and stressed the fact that
we aU beLong to the same Cartlh.olic
Church, under our Holy
Pontiff. He also urged Latins to
learn! more of :his rite, so that the
maJILy misconceptions cancerniog
this Slavonic Rite CaTI be
clear,ed up As Father Dan said
"Our Church is made up of .ali
peoples, of aU tmditions and CUSJtoms
foral1l time. SubstaJILtiailly
it is the same, only it differs accidentally."
So don't be caught napping in
this luscious Spring weather
we've been having; buy your
tickets early from any member
of the Club or from any member
of the Bridgeport Area Club.

Campus Personality
Senior
-Charles Schaefer congratulates recent Business Club speaker.
On Thursday evening Feb. 24,
the Senioc Class held a special
meeting in the Cafe of Xavier
Hall. The main reason for the
evening meeting was that the
officers felt too't a greater
attendaDIce could be expected.
A1lthough much was accomplished,
the general apathy of
the Senior Class was in evidence
again as poor attendance
(as usual) delayed the beginning
of the meeting. Lenten Refreshments
were served to the delight
of all.
Such important topics were
dis c u sse d and satisfactorily
solved; as the class gift, senior
debts, senior smoker, card party
and Seruior Week activities.
The following is a result of that
meeting.

March 17, 1955 THE STAG Page Five
Another possible intra-mural endeavor is a revival of
the basketball program. Because of the enthusiastic
fervor of the miniature Mikans, the league in the fall
was quite successful.
John Kulowiec's foul shooting percentage almost
equalled his academic average. (That's some shooting.)
· .. Rumor lias it that Bob Rajas, who so capably edited
the Sports Department last semester, has been assigned
to ,the Class A Schenectady team . . . Jack Smyth, the
wrong-way track star, has begun his workouts ... Jack
O'Connell purportedly attained honorable mention on
two All-America teams. There is none more deserving
· .. At least one All-State basketball candidate is in ,the
fold for next year ... Coac,h Hanrahan will undoubtedly
have a wet handkerchief as his eyes wander through
the graduation list. GeTV{ein ... Kulowiec ... O'Connell
... Roche ... New Haven Teacher's College won
the New England playoff for the N.A.I.A. tournament
· .. The golf team is presently composed of Leo Morrissette,
Harry Quinn, and Neil Morrow, who are desperately
seeking new material.
'Dhi year's squad finished the
campaign with twelve won and
eight lost record, a very commendable
job indeed when one
considers the opposition faced.
W,e can be justI'Y proud of our
co-captains Jackie O'Connell
and Bobby Gerwein, and ·od' all
the members of this year's team,
for they have completed anarduous
task of playing top-flight
competition with much succeSIS.
Jackie O'Connell receives basketball
from Coach Hanrahan
after scoring his 1000th point
against New Haven State Teacher's
College.
Another basketball season has come to a close at
Fairfield University and during the course of the campaign,
-three new names were added to the record books.
Bobby Gerwein, Jackie O'Connell and Big Jim Roche
have all set new standards to stand the test of time.
Bobby and Jackie, co-cap.tains.
of the Stags, ihave j·oined Joe Kehoe
as members of the 1000
point club of Fairfield. Bobby
passed the coveted mark in a
game against New Britain
Teacher's College ,and two contests
later Jackie c r ash e d
through the four figure barrier
against New Haven Teacher's
College. In this same contest
Jim Roche set a new recoTd for
the most rebounds in a single
season The lanky center wound
up with a total of 314 rebounds
for an average of 15.7 a game.
Bobby a!lso surpassed Joe Kehoe's
record of 1050 points during
an entire collegiate career.
The new record is a total of 1062
for four seasons. From the foul
stripe he flipped in 11 points,
tying Bob Markovic's record. A
few nights later this feat was
duplJicated by Jackie.
The diminutive O'Connell accounted
for three other records.
His season's total of 406' points
is 84 be.tter than Markovic's best
effort. He also scored 90 points
from the free throw line during
the course of the season which
surpasses Markovic's old m.ark
of 78. In accomplishing this,
Jackie hit with a 74% average,
which is above par in any league.
It is more tinan noteworthy to
add that in setting the above
records, be did so in twenty CO'l1!tests
while Markovic needed
twenty-seven to set his records.
Jackie's third record was for the
most field goarrs scored in a
single season, hitting for 158
baskets from the floor during
the campaign. Kiehoe owned the
old mark of 125.

Sport News and Views
By BOB SCHRECK
One of the brighter sports outlooks on the Fairfield
scene is the anticipated softball league among area
clubs. Certainly, the organization of such a league
wo•uld augment and solidify the intra-mural 'Program introduced by the AA. The most trying obstacle to such
a plan, however, is the diversity among individual
schedules. Because of schedule differences, games will
necessarily begin at a late hour. Fear of all night marathons
also poses a problem.
A possible solution could be the style of softball
known as "lefty-ball." This game does not require nine
players on a team, assures a quick game, and provides
as many laughs as it does thrills. Lefty-ball requires a
batter to hit from the side opposite that of his usual
stance. Thus, a -regubr southpaw swinger. would be
shifted to the left-hand side of the plate. One swinging
strike or three foul balls is equivalent to a strikeout.
Any ball hit to the left of second base is considered a
foul ba.ll Teams can operate surprisingly well with as
few as three players: pitcher, first baseman, and rightfielder.

Just then I heard the scraping of metal on metal.
I rushed to the window and what was it but Saul, seated

a path clear for the cars to get out.
What a man, I thought, he not only solves the problem,

theory which is already being

that the emotional problems' of

which is a result of man's
attempt to repress his natural
appetite for rel'igion.
