Nine Leave For Active Service
National Guard~
Reserve Units
First To Leave
The tumult from the hills of
Korea has reverberated strongly
throughout the world. In all
freedom-loving lands men are
being called from their homes
and professions to fight the Com­munist-
inspired aggression in
that distant land. Fairfield Uni­versity,
one among many, al­ready
has felt the consequences
of Korea. With the activation
of numerous National Guard reg;
iments, Marine, and Air Force
Reserves, nine men have with­drawn
their enrollments and re­ported
for active military serv­ice.
During the summer, four mem­bers
of the Senior Class, two
members of the Junior Class,
and three members of the Soph­omore
Class were activated and
thus were compelled to termin­ate
their education.
43rd Federalized
On September 5, 1950 the
United States government fed­eralized
National Guard units of
the 43rd Division and planned
the immediate movement of the
troops to Camp Pickett in Vir­ginia.
This action directly af­fected
several Fairfield men.
John Meehan, a member of
the 192nd Field Artillery at­tached
to the 43rd Division, was
activated accordingly. He is as­signed
to the Headquarters Bat­talion
and enters service as a

This is the purpose of Fair­field
University's Reception Day.
Started last year by Fairfield's
first Junior Class, it was so suc­cessful
and beneficial that it
can easily become traditional.

Planning Committee. It is the
responsibility of this committee
to assure each club a booth dUr­ing
Reception Day, and to des­ignate

Who Said It?·
Last Sunday a compilation of
quotations appeared in the New
York Times. Their purpose: to
provide "a few guiding signals
for eager youth embarking on
the great sea of learning." The
following quotations were se­lected
for re-publication in The
Stag:
1. "Universities are full of
knowledge; the freshmen bring
a little in and the seniors take
none away, and knowledge ac­cumulates."
Abbot Lawrence Lowell.
2. "Educated men are as much
superior to uneducated men as
the living are to the dead."
Aristotle.
3. "In large states public ed­ucation
win always be mediocre,
for the same reason that in large
kitchens the cooking is usually
bad." F. W. Nietzsche.
4. "Training is everything:
the peach was once a bitter al­mond;
cauliflower is nothing but
cabbage with a college educa­tion."
Mark Twain
5. "What does education often
do? It makes a straight-cut ditch
out of afree, meandering brook."
Thoreau
6. "Wear your learning like
your watch, in a private pocket;
and do not pull it out, and strike
it, merely to show that you have
one." Lord Chesterfield.
Student CouneiI To
Hold First Meeting
The first meeting of the Stu­dent
Council this year will be
held on Tuesday, September 26,
at 7:30 p.m. in Xavier Hall.
Meetings are open to all inter­ested
students. It is expected that
early social events will be plan­ned
at this meeting.
The present Student Council
is comprised of members of the
Senior, Junior, and Sophomore
Classes. Freshmen representa­tion
will be added after late
November elections.
The Student Council is a rep­resentative
body of students act­ing
under the Jurisdiction of its
Provisional Constitution, and
functioning as a school govern­ment
in conjunction with the
Administration. It is composed
of eight members from the Sen­ior
Class, six from the Junior
Class, five from the Sophomore
Class, and four from the Fresh­man
Class. This is the first year
the Council will function as the
representative body of four
classes.
The Council has been very ac­tive
in school affairs. Each year
the Mid-Winter' Carnival is un­der

been so successful during the
past three years that the event
has become a tradition at Fair­field

Intentions are always so right­eous
at the beginning of a new
term. "This year I am really go­ing

Let's hope that no one has

However, September finds us
really glad to be back, especially
the pinochle players. I wonder
how they pass their spare time
during the summer.
And I know at least one mar­ried
veteran who receives a
higher income while attending
school than he does working full­time
in the summer.
Note to Freshmen: If you play
ping-pong, you should place your
name on that waiting list. By
now it probably contains two
hundred names.
A hearty welcome is extended
to the members of the incoming
class, and may everyone,
throughout the entire school,
enjoy a pleasant and a success­ful
year.

This article will serve to in­troduce
to the incoming Fresh­men
and to members of the Stu­dent
Body in general, Rev. Ger­ald
A. Kinsella, our new Director
of Athletics at Fairfield.
As most of us know, he will
succeed Fr. Edmund Walsh, who
up until recently, acted in that
capacity, while at the same time
occupying the position as Dean
of Men.
Fr. Kinsella, who has been a
member of our faculty for a year,
has served as Director of Intra­mural
sports and is also an in­structor
of Religion and History.
The new director has an­nounced
that Intra-mural bas­ketball
will be getting under

that notices to this effect will be

throughout Xavier Hall. Con­cernin.

That would seem to take care

enthusiasm is clearly evident,

over this season's schedule
he assured this reporter that he
and the players would be kept
busy in the coming months.
When asked whether or not
he featured a particular style of
ball playing, the coach answer­ed,
"Yes, a hard-driving pick

it is to be used successfully, the
team must work as a unit."
In conjunction with his coach­ing
duties, Mr. Hanrahan who
