The Committee entrusted with
the publication of the Yearbook
has announced that this annual
publication will be entitled The
Manor. It was only after considerable
thought that the former
name of Bellarmine Hall
was selected and presented to
the Father Rector for approval.
That the title of the inaugural
issue of Fairfield University's
Yearbook is an excellent one will
be attested to by both faculty
and students.
Bellarmine Hall, which in days
gone by served as a gracious
manor house and the center of
one of the estates that now comprises
our beautiful campus of
Fairfield University, quite fittingly
lends its name to the first
Yearbook of our youthful University.
This fact will become
more obvious with the passage
of time. For in future years, Bellarmine
Hall will not only be the

stag's head appears on the other
side. The Latin inscription, "Per
fidem ad plenam veritatem," is
translated "Through faith to
fullness of truth."
In the official seal, the pine
cones are from the coat of arms
of St. Robert Bellarmine's family,
while the badge with nails
and IHS surrounded by a crown
of thorns is the badge of the
Society of Jesus. The hart crossing
a stream is the symbol of the
Diocese of Hartford, and the
grapes were transcribed from the
seal of the Town of Fairfield.
The upper portion of the seal
is divided into three compartments,
for "the school is dedicated
and exists in the Name of
the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit."
Any Senior who did not purchase
his class ring last year
may do so this year with the
Juniors.
After two years of college, an event is approaching
which will make the Juniors of Fairfield University
thankful that they struggled through their studies successfully.
Mr. Joseph S. Cranwell, Connecticut representative
of Dieges and Clust, will measure students for
their class rings on Monday, October 9. Delivery of the
rings is promised to be before Christmas.
Mr.. Cranwell will take the --------------
measurements from 10:30 a.m.
until 2:30 p.m. A deposit of ten
dollars will be requested of each
student purchasing his ring.
Three sizes and prices have
been listed. The price of the 11
pennyweight (dwt.) is $30.60,
while the 14 dwt. costs $34.50
and the 16 dwt. costs $36.90. The
rings are identical in design, but
the extra weight is added inside
the ring itself.
The student has his preference
both of the weight of the ring
and of the stone. Initials will be
inscribed free of charge, but if
the full name is desired, there
is an additional charge of fifty
cents.
The class ring was designed by
Conrad Sternschak, '52, a member
of the Class Ring Committee.
Robert Allard, '51, was
Chairman of the Committee. On
one side of the ring the official
seal and motto of Fairfield University
are embossed, while a
Last week several committees, under the chainnanship
of John Miko, were selected to plan and ~irect the
first social event of the current year, The VarsIty Drag.
The dance for Juniors and Seniors, will be held in
Berchman; Hall, Friday, October 13. Hugh Golden's
orchestra, engaged by popular demand, will provide
music from 8:30 to 12:30. Tickets are priced at $2.00
per couple.
Several members of the Junior
and Senior classes were appointed
to staff the four committees
created to insure the success of
the affair. Those selected to take
charge of the various committees
were: Steven Czel and John
Stusilitis, decorations; Frank DiScala
and Jim Flynn, refreshments'
and Tony Verone and

Among the Junior Class representatives
are: John Mahaney,
John Cush, Joe McEnany and
Bob McLean.
According to John Miko, chairman
Berchmans Hall will be
deco~ated to simulate typical
college atmosphere with banners,
pennants and megaphones
effectively arranged under the
competent direction of Steve
Czel. In addition, John promises
novel entertainment to
those who attend.

what. He felt Pre~ident Truman
was correct in stating in his
veto message that the bill would
be difficult to enforce. Father
advocated Congress reconsider
the bill, keeping the aim and
purpose, but making it more effective
and enforceable.
Mr. John Meaney, Director of
the Radio Club and moderator
in the broadcasts, said the purpose
of these presentations is to
form a Christian public opinion
concerning national and international
affairs., The club endeavors
to state the right and wrong
of events insofar as they "perfect
or take away from the perfection
of man, viewed as a
whole, body and soul ... a creature
of God governed by the
Natural Law."
Last year the club was heard
in six Lenten programs over
WNAB, the local station of the
American Broadcasting Company.
This year, in addition to
the weekly broadcast over
WICC, the club will present a
one hour production of "The
Christmas Candle," and four
half-hour dramatizations through
the facilities of WNAB.
Meetings of the club are held
during the second period on
Thursdays in Room 207.
The present membership is
thirty-three students who are
"willing to help the Radio Club
as well as to be helped by it.'"
Officers of the club are: Chairman,
Charles Mizak; Recording
Secretary, Edward Kelly; Corresponding
Secretary, Nicholas
Rosa; Vice-Treasurer, William F.

Intramural Notes
Entries for the intra-mural
touch football league are not
coming in as fast as was expected,
according to an announcement
by Father Kinsella,
athletic director. Only three
teams have entered the tourney
thus far, and this is far short of
the sixteen squads that were in
last year's competition.
Father Kinsella hopes to be
able to start the schedule in two
weeks. All teams interested in
entering are urged to contact
him immediately.
Although the season will not
begin until next spring, John
Miko, '51, director of the school's
intramural golf classic last season,
has issued a call for all students
who are interested in entering
a similar contest in the
spring. Miko hopes that the interest
will be such that a varsity
team can be formed to meet
other colleges in dual contests.
Interested persons are asked to
contact either Miko or Father
Kinsella, Athletic Director.
The Fairfield University Athletic
Association, entering its
second year as an official student
organization, held its initial
meeting of the year on Wednesday,
September 27.
James Burns, '51, newly elected
oresident of the association,
presided at the meeting and introduced
Reverend Gerald Kinsella,
S.J., the university's new
athletic director. Father Kinsella
briefly outlined the many activities
that the athletic department
has scheduled for the current
year. He added that, as in the
past, the success of these activities
depends largely on the cooperation
given it by the association,
and stated that he hoped
the group would afford as much
effort as prevailed last year.
Plans were discussed for the
annual basketball Pep Rally, and
Tuesday, November 21, was set
as the tentative date. The date
for meetings was also discussed,
and Wednesdays at 9:00 a.m. was
selected.
President Burns a Iso announced
that a committee will be
formed shortly to conduct an
official membership drive. He
added that, although the organization
is open to all students,
formal applications are necessary.
Other officers of the group besides
Burns include John Reilly,
vice-president; James Flynn,
secretary; Robert Walsh, treasurer
and John Neary, recording
secretary.
