---------------------------- The Mass was a eoncelebration
by three priests of the Byzan­tine-
Slavonic Rite. A concele­bration
is an offering of the
Holy SacriJfice by two or more
priests at the same altar
through a consecration by each,
of the same bread and wine.
The first concelebrant was
Very Reverend Daniel p. Macz-k,
ov, Pastor of St. John the Bap­tist
Greek Catholic Church in
Bridgeport. Very Rev. Maczkov,
as dean, has jurisdi·ction over all
Pastors and Faithful of the
Byzantine Rite of the Dio,cese
Byzantine Mass celebrated in of Pittsburgh in !New York and ------------ -=-- the New England States.
The second concelebrant was
the Rev. Father Valerian Jae­ger
O.S.B. Assistant Pastor of
St. Mary'- Greek Catholic
Church in Ne,w York City.
The third concelebrant was
the Rev. Father Julian 1M.
Gnall O.S.B., also Assistant Pas­tor
of St. Mary's Greek Catholic
Church in New York City.
The explanations of the Lit­urgy
were given by Rt. Rev.
Msgr. Michael Carnicke, Pastor
of St. John Ne,pomucene Roman
Catholic (Slovac) Church in
Bridgeport and the responses of
the Liturgy were sung by
Geor·ge Kacan, B.S., Cantor of
St. John the Baptist Church and
the boys' choir of St. John's
P.arochial School.
There are several differences
between the Latin and Byzan­tine
Rite. The Byzantine Rite,
the Divine Litur,gy of St. John
Chrysostom, uses a different
laI1lguage, and the congregation
makes the sign of the Cross
more frequently. The congrega­tion
participates actively in re­sponding
to the petition of the
priest under the leadership of
a cantor. The organ is not play­ed;
Holy Communion is dis­triJbuted
in the form of leaven­ed
bread and wine.
The Chair of Unity Octave is
a devotion initiated in 1908 by
Very Rev. Paul W'attson S.A.,
who founded at that time the
Society of the Atonement. The
Octave is a period of eight days
(-January 18-25) during which

Trouncing one's arch-rival and traditional foe is
an excellent way of winding up a basketball season, and
that is just what the Red Stags of Coach Jim Hanrahan
did on the evening of February 25. In an impressive
-----'------0f,ashion, the S tags waltzed to an
81-57 victory over the Univer­sity
of Bric1geport which offset
an earlier 65-63 seVba·ck in over­time
at the hands of the Purple
Knights.
The deadly set-shooting of
Pedro Ta'gatac was a major fa·c­tor
in the victory. Pedro led all
scorers for. the evening by
dumping 23 points through the
nets. Other double point pro­ducers
for Fairfield were
"Dixie" Pavel with 17, Jack
Smyth 16, and ,Fran Hanley 11.
Captain Lenny Paolet·ta con­tributed
a to.p-notch floor game
while chipping in the scoring
with seven points.
For the losers, Harry Peters
proved to be the only scoring
threat, collecting 22 markers.
The Sta.gs, employing a suc­cessful
fast break, pulled out to
a quick lead in the first half,
having a 13-6 ed·ge. The Knights
fought their way back into the
ball game and held a one point
advantage midway through the
first half. After the lead chang­ed

Fairfield Republicans
Form Campus Group
For Student Politicos
With the able primary impe­tus
of International Relations
Club the Collegiate Republicans
of Fairfield University have be­gun
to organize for the better­ment
of the Republican party
and all the students of Fairfield.
The first contact was made
with the attendance of Ed
Morey and Ronny Skurat at the
organizational meeting of the
Collegiate Republicans in Hart­ford,
Sunday, Feb. 19th. A Con­stitution
was drafted at this
meeting and revisions and ap­proval
will follow at the next
meeting which will be held on
March 11th. At this meeting of
March 11th a' dinner will be
served and it is expected that
MT. Baldwin (Republican State
Chairman) and Lt. Governor
Jewett will speak to the mem­bers.
With the information that was
accumulated at the State meet­ing
of Feb. 19th a meeting was
called for the Republicans on
campus with general policy and
'future endevol's being discussed.
It was a unanimous decision to

"What's the matter boy, don't you like this school?
Do you think that a dollar is too much? Don't you think
it's being used for your benefit? What's the matter,
can't you afford it?
"Yes sir ... no sir yes sir ... yes sir."
"Listen Notax," barked Purezz, "we've had enough
from you! You think you're a big shot because you
haven't paid yet! Well, we're giving you this last chance.
Pay up or else!!!"
"Or else what?" I asked.
"We're asking the questions, Misteh!! You going
to payor not?"
"NO"!
Gee, it was only a dollar. I' would have paid it,
honest I would. How was I to know what the "or else"
was? Oh, why didn't I pay! I thought maybe they were
just bluffing or maybe they were going to take away
my Rethoric book, or forbid me to march in the St.
Patrick's Day Parade or something like that.
Believe me Jim, don't give them an argument.
Well, I have to go now. I guess I'll never see you again.
So long buddy, and remember to write to my mother
and to give my regards to the gang, and for Pete's sake,
tell them to pay the tax!!

Dear Jim:
As you know, I'm not much at writing letters, but
since I'm never going', to see you again I thought I had
better write you and WARN YOU.
Well, anyway, Monday morning I got up for classes
and even though it was Monday, I still felt pretty good
-at least I felt a lot better than I did Sunday morning.
I didn't feel too good Sunday morning because I guess
I was feeling too good Saturday night, but now I felt
good again Monday morning and that's why I didn't
feel too bad.
Yes Jim, I felt pretty good when I walked up the
steps to Xavier Hall. In fact, I felt so good I wasn't
even going to cut my English class. But when I reached
the main corridor, I didn't feel so good no more. There
they were, the three of them, waiting for me. There
was the little guy sitting behind the table in the middle
of the corridor, and the two big ones standing on either
side of him. I turned to run, but before I could reopen
the front door they were both on top of me. The one
twisting my arm was called "Slugger" Purezz, and the
other, busy squeezing my head and poking me in the
eyes with his fingers, was calleq "Killer" Reide.
"Your name Melvin Notax?"

Christian political tradition can
Liberalism hOipe to survive the
bad publicity which has come
close in inundating it.
Mr. Barry put across the point
that Liberalism depends upon
the political notions of the
Greeks and the Christian idea
that the dignity and equality of
man exists only in his relation
to God.
In an attempt at a definition
of Lilberalism. Mr. Barry stated
that L~ber-alism for a Christian
was a matter of temperament
rather than of basis.

The University will be graced by the presence of
one of the leading figures in Catholic letters, Mr. Frank
Sheed, of Sheed and Ward, on the evening of April 18,
in Berchmans Hall. The lecture will be sponsored by
the Senior Class.
Mr. Sheed, a native of Australia, has authored a
large number of books on the Catholic faith and the­ology,
one of the most noted being, Theology and Sanity.
He has lectured on three continents and was one of the
leaders of the Catholic Evidence Guild in London, an
organization which has done much to bring the truth
of the Church back to a country once wholly Catholic.
Recently he was given a singular honor by Pope Pius AQUINAS A:CADEMY

intermission.
At ·the outset of the second
half, the Stags widened the gap
and erased any doubt as to the
outcome by building up an 18
point lead. Heading into the
final ten minutes of the contest,
the Men in Red were on the
better end of a 58-40 score. The
Hanrahan cagers did not stop at
this point, how'ever, and con­tinued
to pour it on the DB
boys. Finally Coach Hanrahan
unloaded his bench and the sec­ond
stringers took it from there
and finished out the game.
Fairfield's final seasonal rec­ord
was six wins and ten losses.
Against U1B, they split two
·games. Overall, the Stags hold
a 10-6 lifetime edge over the

With a sudden upsurge in the last few minutes of
play, Fairleigh-Dickinson's cagers defeated Fairfield
University, 72-68.
The Stags outscored the Knights from the floor,
sinking 30 field goals to Fairleigh's 26, but precise foul
shooting on the part of the visitors proved to be the
victory margin.
The Sta'gs started off strong~
on a set shot by Captain Lenny
Paoletta and a three-point 9lay
by Pedro Tagatac. The Knights
evened the score at 13-all after
five minutes of action and the
teams matched baskets before
the Red Stags pulled out in

Fairfield develo,ped a 59-54

Nine teams have entered the
Intramural Handicap Golf Tour­nament
so far. Many more are
expected to sign up. The list of
the teams is as follows:
Ron Clark-Jim Russel
Bud Waters-Dick Keating
Hal Bowman-Vin Scully
Paul Kane-John Long
Don Bartimoccia-Pete Curran
Ed Brand-Joe Chester
Dick Finnegan-Jack Murphy
George Olechowski-
Joe Zaczkowski
John Flaherty-Paul Murray
The organization of a softball
league is under way, with the
warm weather coming up in a
few short weeks. Father Far­rington
has applications for
teams at his desk on the main
floor. There are no restrictions
as to how the teams may be or­ganized.
They may be formed
from members of the various
area clubs such as the Norwalk,
Waterbury, Valley, New Haven,
Met, and Bridgeport clubs. They
may be formed from different
classes (sophomore, junior, etc.)
or from different groups and
liques. The tremendous success
of last year's league will verify
the fun and enjoyment (and
good exercise) that can be had
from playing ball.

By PAUL NAGY
The month of March is looked upon by Mother
Nature as that period of thirty-one days during which
the sun crosses the equator and continues its journey
to the northern hemisphere, fresh south winds battle I
with the frigid winter winds of the north creating tor­nados
and other such storms, and as the poet says "the
brooks babble" on their journey to the sea. March is
an awakening, a sort of transitional period between the
aged winter and the infant spring. It is also a transi­tional
period of another type; the winter sports of bas­ketball
and hockey fade from the national scene in favor
of the national pastime. The sports pages of our daily
newspapers are crowded with photographs of profes­sion
ballplayers loosening their limbs and throwing arms
in the training camps of Florida. March is a time of
anticip"ation, of waiting for warm and sunny days, of
waiting for the start of the baseball season when every
fan follows the day-to-day progress of his team.
March also has special significance to basketball.
The "tournament fever" spreads throughout the land
with the regular season far behind. On the national
level the NCAA, NIT, and NAIA tournaments enhance
the interest of college basketball. The professional
playoffs and the AAU tourneys keep up interest on other
levels of competition. YMCAs, Boys' Clubs, and other
recreational institutions are also the sponsors of count-less
local tournaments. Stags Complete

BOOKS
LAST DAY'S JOURNEY L1'-I'TO
INTO NJIGH'I', Eugene O'Neill,
University Press, New Haven,
1956, 177 pp. $3.75.
By BILL KEISH
This book, published pos­thumously,
is a bitter revealing
autobiography of E u g e n e
O'Neill's early life. The author
deftly digests the action of this
three-act play into a single day.
The scene never shifts with all
the action taking place in the
living room of the fictitious Ty­rome's
summer cotta,ge some­where
along Long Isloand Sound.
The Tyrome's are actually the
O'Neill family.
In presenting the play O'Neill
~eems to concentrate on the di­verse
personalities of the mem­bers
of the family and the in­fluence
of some outside force
upon each person. His father,
J ames a one time renown Thes­pian,
has alienated himself
from the rest of the family by
his parsimonious frugality. This
niggardly attitude is stemmed
by a preoccupation of ending
his days in a welfare institution.
The mother, Mary, is a dope-fiend,
who has recently return­ed
from a sanatorium, where
she has been temporarily cured
of the habit. But upon return­ing
to the Tyrome household
with its constant Ibitterness and
personal conflict, she is again
forced to take refuge in narco­tics.
Under this shield of de­tachment,
she is able to drift
dreamily ba'ck to her childhood,
when she was secure ,within the
wails of a convent. These were
days of pleasure, days recaptur­ed
only through her narcotic
state. The oldest son, Jamie, is
a cynical alcoholic, who derives
his earthly pleasures from
whiskey and loose women. He
seems to be pent up with bit­terness.
The youngest member
of the family, Edmund, who
we presume to be Eugene
O'Neill, is afflicted with con­sumption,
which he contacted
in his many trips around the
world.
O'Neill presents an excellent
illustration of his theory of
tragedy through the remarks of
his mother: "N~me of us can
help the things that life has
done to us. They're done before
you realize it, and once they're
done they make you do other
things until at last everything
comes between you and what
you'd like to be, and you've
lost your true self forever."
The playwright concentrates
his theme on the emotions of
the family memlbers. Each in~
dividual seems to reserve a per­sonal
bitterness tOlwards the
other members, yet still retains
a certain amount of love for
them. This leads to a paradoxic­al
relation among the four
members of the family, Ecene
after scene is depicted in which
one of the characters assails the
other with trenchant words, but
always ends up with a feeling
of complacency. It becomes
more or less a stereotype reac­tion,
which the reader expects.
The pl,ay is an excellent account
of ,tragedy, but is full of gloom
a'nd despair,

Further, a play set in flop- - James B. Russell
houses and bordellos is not, after
all, in the best of taste. And
though Rodgers and Hammer­stein
do their best to make "Pipe
Dream" light and innocent, there
is still dirt beneath all the tinsil
and sweetness.
Helen Traubel, in her Broad­way
debut, plays a madam and
seems rather ashamed of it. Wil­liam
Johnson is suitably hand­some
and eccentric as Doc; and
Judy Tyler, as Suzy, comes very
close to stealing the show. But
the star of a Rodgers and Ham­merstein
show is always the
music, and further, in "Pipe
Dream" it IS the show. There
are moments when the melodies
seem almost inspired, and when
Helen Traubel sings with Judy
Tyler the tender and hauntingly
intricate "Suzy Is a Good
Thing," Miss Tyler the poignant
"Everybody's Got A Home But
Me," and William Johnson the
lovely "All At Once You Love
Her," the full glow and warmth
of Rodgers and Hammerstein's
talent bursts like sunlight
through the play's banalities and
short-comings, and more than
compensate for the play's weak­nesses.
