The students' choices! Recently elected to office are, left to
right, John Mahaney, President of the Junior Class; William
Heagney, President of the Senior Class; and Walter Lee, Pres­ident
of the Sophomore Class.
• The First Annual Farewell Dance, sponsored by the
Activit~es Committee of the Student OouncH, wHl take
place at Berchmans Hall on June 2. Contracted to pro­vide
the dance music from 9:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., is
the promjnent Hugh Golden orchestra of the greater
Norwalk area.
William Heagney, John Ma­honey
and Walter Lee were
elected presidents of the Senior,
Junior and Sophomore classes,
respectively, in elections held
last week. Class officers for the
1950-51 academic year were
chosen by students of all classes.
Voting took place outside of the
cafeteria in Xavier Hall.
The regular voting took place
Monday, May 15. But due to the
lack of a clear majority in sev­eral
positions, a run-off election
was conducted last Wednesday.
The main attraction during
the weeks of nominations and
campaigning centered about the
election of the president of the
fir:;t graduating Senior Class.
Heagney of Bridgeport scored
his victory on the third ballot
polling twice as many votes as
his nearest rival, Rudy Ross, in
the race for Senior Class presi­dent.
Heagney is vice 'president
of the present Junior Class.
Despite a very active cam­paign,
James Keating, of South
Orange, New Jersey, president
of the Junior Class, was badly
beaten in the presidential race.
He polled only 42 votes on three
ballots, compared to Heagney's
112 and Ross' 51.
Ed Cull defeated John Gor­man
in the run-off elections for
the vice-presidency of the Sen­ior
Class. William Carrigan, of
Bridgeport, emerged victor over
the present Junior Class treasur­er,
Vincent Bartelmo in the race
for Senior treasurer. George
Birge, easily defeated three
other candidates, including Rob­ert
Mark who was seeking re­election,
for the office of Senior
secretary.
In Sophomore Class elections,
John Mahaney nosed out James
Aspinwall in a run-off election

Glee Club Finishes
Year With Concert
For Hartford Club
The Fairfield University Glee
Club concluded a highly suc­cessful
season last week with
their performance in Hartford.
The Hartford Club sponsored
this concert which was held at
Bulkely High School auditor­ium.
The chairman for the event
was Frank Mastrangelo of the
Hartford Club.
The audience responded en­thusiastically
to the varied pro­gram
offered by the songsters.
A near capacity crowd of almost
700 people was present.
Frank Muzzicato, president of
the Hartford Club, said that the
proceeds derived from the con­cert
will be incorporated in the
club's Scholarship Fund.
For
Exam
This is the last issue
of The STAG this
year. The staff wishes
to thank everyone con­cerned
who has con-tributed
towards mak­ing
it a better paper.
The event marks the estab­lishment
of what the Council
hopes to be a tradition at Fair­field
University.
Since the affair is the last
social event of the year, James
Murray, chairman of the dance
committee, is optimistic of the
representative Lurn out of the
entire student body. Tickets will
be sold for the rest of this week
and next week in the cafeteria.
The dance committee promises
to serve refreshments which
"will be different from any of
the refreshments that we have
had at the previous dances."
They are also contemplating a
program for intermission.
Serving on the committee
with Murray are Charles Bar­rett,
Robert Walsh, W. J. Mc­Grath,
Anthony Annuncio, Lar­ry
Halmeck, Fred Haffner, Wil­liam
Braun, John Mullaney and
Hugo Raccuia.

The recent Junior Week was
climaxed on Sunday morning,
May 7th, by a communion break­fast
in the Berchmans Hall audi­torium.
The breakfast was pre­ceded
by a mass at 9:00 in the
McAuliffe Hall chapel. Rev. W.
Edmund FitzGerald, S.J., dean
of the college, celebrated the
Mass, and after the Mass, per­formed
the ring blessing and
gave a short talk.
The breakfast took place
about 10:00, and following it,
Robert Fitzpatrick, toastmaster,
introduced the Rev. W. Ed­mund
FitzGerald, S.J., Laurence
. C. Langguth, S.J., Edmund A.
Walsh, S.J. and Robert B. Mac­Donnell,
S.J., each of whom
spoke briefly. James Gibson,
chairman of the committee ar­ranging
the affair, read a letter
from Rev. James H. Dolan, S.J.,
former rector of Fairfield Uni­versity,
expressing his regret at
being unable to attend.

Page 2 THE STAG I May 24, 1950
Published every other Wednesday at Fairfield. Connecticut
This .issue marks the end'bf the first year Fairfie:I:d
University has published a printed newspaper. It has
been a very difficult year for the staff. The paper has
adhered to its schedule religiQusly and this issue marks
the fifteenth appearance for'.·the year. However, the
matter in the paper has not .atall times been indicative
of the scholastic level of the students. Why? Because
the cooperation which sh'Ould have 'been given to the
staff was not always the best. At times, there has been
none.
Students and faculty both share in this lax attitude
toward the paper. Events of importance in the pa1st
have not been fully oovered because of the seemingly
indifferent attitude both students and faculty exhibited.
There are some hard working members on the staff
who have often encountered insurmountable barriers in
trying to get a story, on some sohool event for ex­ample.
Others became disgusted when they were sent
on wild goose .chases contacting as many as five or six
people trying to get information on a story. They return
finally empty-handed.
Many of the individual dubs felt that their organ­izations
have not received proper publicity. But these
same clubs never notified the editors of their plans. On
the other hand, the Glee Club for one, has received
maximum publicity. Why? They are well organized
and have given more than enough cooperation.
Committee chairIl).en for various affairs have not
sought the fullest amount of publicity in the paper.
Some have been so secretive that writing an article on
an affair ended by being mostly guess work. It has cer­tainly
affected the news value of many such stories.
Then again, The STAG staff itself is not completely
blameless. Due to our own inefficiency, sports here at
Fairfield have not been covered completely at all times.
We have received justifiable complaints from the bas­ketball,
track and intra-mural squads. We intend to
improve the Sports Department next year.
Individual students have attacked the paper, call­ing
it 'sophomoric.' Yet not one who has levelled de­structive
criticism has ever offered to lift a finger to
help. Others pI1oclaimed, "Clique, clique." Yet, never
has a student been denied the privilege of working as a
staff member.
Perhaps this criticism is too severe. However, no one
wants a better newspaper than the staff itself. Nation­ally,
we have received a ,rating of "good" as compared
to colleges which have been publishing papers for years.
Since this is only our third year of existence as a uni­versity,
we can compare ourselves to colleges founded
many years ago still mimeographing their papers.
No, the staff is far from ready to drag out crying
towels or even throwing in the towel. We hope that
next year, Fairfield, its faculty and students, will rise to
the greatest possible heights. If some serious thought
is given to this editorial, perhaps The STAG can playa
major role in Fairfield's rise.
Growing Up

Edward Wall, '51, of New
York, emerged as winner of the
first Prize Debate held at Fair­field.
The debate took place in
Berchmans Hall, last Wednes­day,

the Communist Party by federal
legislation should be outlawed
in the United States." Wall and
DiScala won the team debate
over Stephen Sedensky and
John Fray who upheld the nega- .
tive.
The judges for the debate
were Rev. Francis SmalL S.J.,
Rev. Vincent Gookin, S.J., and
Mr. Arthur Riel, all members of
the Fairfield University Faculty.
Thomas Tierney, president of
the Junior-Sophomore Debating
Society, presided over the de­bate.

it's just as well that there are

There would always be the pos­sibility

A student's father paid a sur­prise

"Yeah, just pour him on the

questions: What is the poet try­ing

Why use silk instead of

Courses in psychology, engineer­ing,
English, and those concern­ed
with human relations were
emphasized. Time Study, Com­pensation
Laws, Job Evaluation,
Consulting, Labor Legislation
and their like would be obtained
as they gained experience.
Mr. Flynn, Personnel Director
of Acme Shear Company, spoke
on "Interviewing, Testing and
Placement - Promotion and
Transfer." He said that trouble
within a company is usually
caused by a few malcontents,
and that morale is as important
in industry as in school. There­fore,
the Personnel Director
should try to build morale by
hiring morale.
Mr. Bahner's topic was "The
Importance of Wage Incentives
to Production, Profits, and Peo­ple."
Honesty was stressed as
the core of the system of wage
incentives. Rates should be set
honestly and fairly, based on
mutual trust, for they will there­by
stimulate additional effort
and thus benefit the individual
and company mutually. Our
present system of mass produc­tion
is, according to Mr. Bahner,
the result of the incentive rates
system.

The tension of exams is slight
compared to the nerve wrack­ing

Now is the time when most of
us start buring the midnight

tremendouse increase in the
consumption of coffee and

In a sense, studying for exams
is like Christmas shopping . . .
NEXT YEAR I am going to do
it early to avoid this last minute
rush!
At this time of the year there
seem to be fewer smiles, more
frowns, and a great increase in
the number of vacant stares and
men talking to themselves.
And so we come to that time
of the year again. We stand with
our classes all behind us and
only the slight matter of final
exams before us.

On Sunday afternoon, May
21, at 3:30, the annual reception
of the Sodality of Our Lady of
Fairfield was held in the Mc­Aulliffe
Hall Chapel. The recep­tion
began with the procession
of the candidates into the chapel,
which was filled with invited
guests and members of the
Sodality.
After an Act of Consecration
to the Blessed Mother by the
candidates, and a renewal of the
consecration of the Sodalists
present, the candidates received
their diplomas, thus becoming
members of the Sodality. Fol­lowing
this, Rev. Gabriel Ryan,
S.J. gave a short talk to those
present, and the ceremony was
concluded with Benediction of
the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Those candidates received in­to
the Sodality were: Bernard
M. O'Meara, Thomas E. Tierney,
Daniel J. Cuddy, James Burns,
Mark Lolatte, Jr., John J. Sapi­towicz,
Robert T. Conroy, Daniel
A. D'Angelo, Thomas Vitelli,
Peter S. Amenta, Thomas J.
Fraher, Enzo R. Montesi, and
James J. Meehan.
The reception was the culmin­ating
event and the high point of
a very successful year for the
Sodality of Our Lady of Fairfield
University.

that Captain Ed Conroy is one
of our best. Judge him by his
accomplishments.
On the personal side, Ed is 22,
married, in the class of 1951,
and is in the Social Science Divi-sion.
His quiet, extrovertial per-sonality
is strikingly pleasant.
One of his noticeable qualities
is his willingness to help his
fellow team-mates and class­mates.
Ed is a credit to the school
which he represents. His sports­manship,
scholarship, and polite
manner are exemplary.
To Ed Conroy we dedicate this
column, in the hope that in the
future he continues to eat no
one's dust.

for the presidency of the Junior
Class 95 to 85. Aspinwall was
three short of a majority in the
first election.
Also emerging victoriously in
the run-off elections was Joseph
McEnany of Bridgeport, who
was elected Junior Class vice­president.
His chief rival was
John Relihan. John Dieter,
Bridgeport, and Charles Ver­nale,
Waterbury, were elected
Junior class treasurer and sec­retary,
respectively.
In the elections for Sopho­more
Class officers, balloting
was necessary for two positions
only. There was only one candi­date
for the offices of secretary
and treasurer. These offices went
to Edward Sisk, West Haven,
and William Scanlon, Yonkers,
N. Y, respectively.
In the presidential race, Wal­ter
Lee was elected by a narrow
margin. His nearest rival was
Arthur Boulanger. Timothy
Cronin, of Bloomfield,"was elect­ed
vice-president of the Sopho­more
Class.
An interesting parodox pre­sented
itself regarding the suc­cess
of two avowed tickets dur­ing
the elections. Lee, Scanlon
and Cronin all ran on the same
ticket with one platform and
were elected by the Freshmen.
However, Aspinwall, Relihan
and Dieter, who also ran on one
ticket for Junior Class offices,
saw only one of their men
elected.
The turn out at the polls was _
excellent. This is especially true
of the present Junior and Sopho­more
Classes since over 90 per
cent of the students in these
classes voted. The Freshmen
turn out was "good" which is
indicative that they are inter­ested
in class affairs.
Election Commissioner John
Daly and his committee, consist­ing
of William McGuiness, Al­bert
Bruder and John J. Keegan,
deserve praise for their efficient
manner in conducting elections.
