IRC-Public Affairs Cluh
Hears Red Cross Man
Gifford Ross, American National
Red Cross field represen'
tative, gave a history of the organization
at a recent meeting
of the International Relations
club.
Mr. Ross described the formation
of the Red Cross through
the efforts of Henri Donat, a
Swiss businessman, following a
battle at Solfacino, Italy, in 1859,
when 40,000 killed and wounded
were left uncared for on the
battlefield.
The first seeds of the Red Cross
organization in the United States
were sown during the Civil War
period, Mr. Ross said.
The speaker also told of his
experiences in Korea and the
role the Red Cross played there.
His job was to rebuild the Korean
Red Cross and to help
servicemen in Red prison camps.
The University's Interna'tional
Relations club is designed to
promote interest and provide information
on contemporary political,
social and economic issues.
Moderators of the group are
the Rev. William H. Hohmann,
S.J., and Dr. John Norman.
The question has often been asked, "Just what is NFCCS?
Through the courtesy of the Stag, we have been given this space
for a brief explanation.
The letters NFCCS stand for the Na'tional Federation of Catholic
College Students, an organization which encompasses the
more than 200,000 students of 200 Catholic Colleges throughout
the United States. It is a represen'tative body, the voice of national
Catholic College thought. It is also a service organization, having
under its jurisdiction a group of commissions, students organized
to specialize in one phlase of life to which the Catholic Faith pertains.
The organization's primary purpose of furthering Catholic
Action and the Lay Apostolate among our students provides the
motivation for the workshops which are presented by these commissions
and the material which they send out to various
campus clubs. The topics trea'ted by these groups range from
Liturgy to International Relations.
NFCCS is geographically divided into near-autonomous regions.
Fairfield is a member of the New England Region. Two of
New England's eleven commissions are seated at Fairfield: F,amily
Life and Forensics.

Bob concluded with a tribute
to the University, as he stated:
"The tremendous growth of
Fairfield University attests to
my opinion that i't will, one day,

This week the Stag salutes
Robert Imbro as our featured
Campus Personality.
A graduate of the Prep, Bob
came to the University after
serving with the Army in Korea.
After four years, he has amassed
honors and tributes which attest
to his outstanding character and
personality. Included among his
activities is the University Honor
Society, President of the Student
Council, Past-President of
the Class of 1957, Past-President
of the IRC Club, Membership in
the Acquinas Academy, Vet's
Club, Business Club, Winter
Carnival Committee, CCD, and
co-chairmanship of the Freshman
Orientation Committee.
In addition to all of these activities,
Bob was instrumental in
the organization of the Ignatian
Council, K. of C., the first campus
council in Connecticut. He
now serves as Financial Secretary
of the Council. One activity
which Bob feels very strongly
about is his membership in the
Sodality, terming it, "the strongest
character-building organization
on campus".
Married in the summer of this
year to the former Barbara
Jane Fabula of Stratford, Bob
looks forward to a chance at a
management - trainee program,
after getting his A.B. degree.
I asked Bob what he will 'take
from his time at the University
when he is graduated. His answer
was testimony to the qualities
of character which he possesses.
He said simply: "My

Editorial
What has happened to all the pre-game basketball rallies?
Whe're are all the enthusiastic, school-spirited, battle cries of
"Beat B. 'C:' and "Beat ,Bridgeport"? They seem to have suddenly
disappeared after the ,Boston College game, two years back. To
our knowledge, that was the last of the pre-game rallies, even
though it proved to be most successful. Fairfield, the underdog,
emerged triumphant by the overwhelmin.g score of 76 to 65. We
had a strong fighting team that night, and most of that. fight was
backed up by a cheerin.g crowd, full of lift and spirit, which grew
out of that pre-game rally - police escort and all thel trimmings:
a B. C. dummy which was, the main victim of the Fairfield enthusiasm.
"Beat ,B. C:' was the war cry! But after the victory, the
rallies disappeared.
We think it's about time they were brought back. And we can
start' again with the Boston College game' this January 5th. Let's
be ready for them again by getting a real rally going as we did
two years ago!
There is just one thin.g that is better than being on a team;
and that is being on the sidelines or in the stands, lending all the
moral support possible with voice and arms. The team isn't just

half-crazy fans, urging the others on to victory.
The' purpose of a pre-game rally is to join fans in active support
o·f their team. We have a good team this year; a learn that
will soon give us a record that we can be proud of. Let~s no,t le,t
them down. Let's all be ready for B. C. - police, escort and all! So
that when they do come to Fairfield, we'll already have them
beate'n; then the,re will truly be a "Boston Massacre"!
the money will be collected in
each Theology class.
Each class will be divided into
teams, under the direction
of a team captain. This will
facilitate the collection of the
money and will provide a closer

"ACROSS
THE CIMARRON"
Book Revie'w
Recently I submitted a letter
in which I took exception to the
editorial from B. C.'s Heights.
The idea of that writer seemed
to be extremely irrational.
However, there appeared in
your last issue an editorial
which espoused the same cause
but did so in a much more reasonable
manner. Although I do
not agree with some of the statements
made in that editorial, I
do agree with the compromise
suggested by the writer.
The editor, Mr. Barry, I believe,
is to be congratulated.
Never has such a fine piece of
writing appeared in the Stag.
The case was stated quite adequately,
and all involved would
be well advised to consider its
arguments.
Sincerely,

Blue Devils In 2nd Victory
By LARRY LESSING
On December 5, at the Bridgeport Brass Recreation

ism. He gradually grows into a
mighty, tainted Caesar, with the
world groveling at his feet. In
a memorable soliloque mighty
Caesar, superimposed over a
cattle tender, falls. Ql/ite a job
for a young and relatively new
figure, yet Dean lives it marvelously
from the inquisitive smile
and quaint mumbling of a
youthful hireling to the fascinating
gestures and intoxicated
murmur of a successful businessman
who has just doomed himself
to eventual failure. If

might it be said it is at least
a preview of attractions never
to come.

by Mercedes McCambridge,
Sal Mineo and a budding
starlet, Caroll Baker.
In previous pictures, James
Dean showed great promise,
working with good material. In
this, the last picture of a career
tragically cut off by death, he
handles a part terrible to behold.

Dean plays, starts as a typical

swagger and distintive manner-

"GIANT" (Warner Bros.)
By EDWARD RIZY
One of the interesting and
unique films of the year, "Giant"
portrays in striking pastels of
modern realism not so much the
story of anyone man as a biting
indictment of the power, pride
and prejudice of Texas aristocracy.
Following the original
draft of authoress Edna Ferber's
somewhat overdrawn epic of social
-injustice, director George
Stevens leaves no hues unused
in presenting to the public the
story behind the story i~ the

chan1ged hands several times as
both teams played fired-up ball.
A breakdolwn in 1he Stag defense
allo'wed the Teacher,s to
run up a 38-33 half-time lead.
In the second haM the boys from
New Britain lengthened the gap
to ten points af1ter five minutes
had elapsed. Then Coach Hanmhan
ohanged the defense pattern
by having Mike Mullen and
Captain Pedro Tagatac piay a
tight, pressing game.
A pair orf steals by these men
and two foul shots by Fran
"Hot-Rod" Hanley tied the
s·core. The lead see-salwed back
and forth until the Stags pulled
out in front for good with aib'Out
six minutes left on the clock.
McGowan was, fol101wed ;in
the s'coring by Tagatac with 18,
Mullen 16, and Hanley 12.
The game was marked by fine
teamwork on the part of the
Stags. New Britain was unbeaten
in its previous starts
agains't the alumni and Rhode
Island State Tea:chers. The score
of this latter game was 110-71.
The upstaters displayed an accurate
shooting team along with
a fast break. Bul\; the men in
Red were too much of a weHbalanced
team to cope with.
In the preliminary the lTO'sh
