Varsity
Dance,
On Friday, October 13, "Cru­sade
For Freedom Day" was ob­served
on the campus of Fair­field
University. In charge of the
Crusade was James Flynn, an
appointee .of the Student Coun­cil,
who served as chairman of
the event.
An information booth with
pamphlets concerning the Cru­sade
was set up in the basement
of Xavier Hall. Students were
asked to sign the Freedom
Scroll, thus showing their belief
as Americans in the right of all
men to freedom. They were also
asked to make donations to the
Crusade.
The purpose of the "Crusade
for Freedom Day" was to ac­quaint
the students of Fairfield
University with the aims of the
recently organized National
Committee For a Free Europe.
Under the National Chairman­ship
of General Lucius Clay,
former Commander of the United
States military forces in Berlin,
the organization proposes to
establish broadcasting facilities
in Western Germany. Called
Radio Free Europe, the purpose
of the station will be to pierce
the Iron Curtain with broadcasts
of truth concerning the political,
economical and military aims of
the nations of the Western
World.
High attendance and an air
of reserved frivolity key-noted
the Varsity Drag, first event on
the current year's social calen­dar,
Friday October 13, 1950 in
Berchmans Hall. Under the cap­able
chairmanship of John Miko,
the Junior-Senior dance was
guided to both a social and
financial success. Brought back
by.popular demand, Hugh Gold­en's
orchestra entertained with
their renditions of old and new
favorites ..
Highlighting the evening,
members of the K-X presented a
program during intermission.
Heading the program, Joe Forte
presented several accordion
selections accompanied by the
orchestra and a "community­sing"
composed of those attend­ing.
The "Collegians," consisting
of George Birge and Harry Cos­tello
attired in raccoon coats and
Jim Flynn and Art Laske cloth­ed
in like garb, combined their
voices to present their rendi-

Seniors Assemble
At Berchmans
To Discuss Plans
Inaugurating what is hoped
will be a series of meetings dur­ing
the remainder of the year,
the Senior Class assembled in
Berchmans Hall on October 12,
1950. Senior Class President
William Heagney and Year
Book Editor Edward Flannery
both spoke to the assembled stu­dents.
President Heagney in his
opening remarks stated that the
purpose of the meeting was "to
let each individual of the class
in on what is going on" and to
get at least its informal approval.
He continued that in addition,
the meetings were to "bring the

Many .interested students have expressed their
desire to become staff members of Fairfield University's
STAG. There ·are numerous openings on the staff, but
particular consideration will be given to Freshmen,
Sophomore, and Junior applicants. The policy of THE
STAG ,is such that at the middle of his Senior year, any
student editor of any department resigns from his posi­tion
and an undergraduate is promoted to fill the va­cancy.
Thus, though Senior applicants are welcome as
workers on the staff, they can expect no appointment
t'O key positions throughout the year.
The STAG welcomes any stu­dent
interested enough to want
to work on its staff, It is true
that there are numerous open­ings
for new membership, but
the editors wish to make several
points clear. First, THE STAG
needs workers, not merely mem­bers,
if it is to expand and better
itself. Editing a newspaper can
not be done without hard, seri­ous
labor, but this can be light­ened
when divided among many,
and not left as a burden on the
shoulders of a few. Only those
students who are willing to de­vote
a portion of their leisure
time toward its publication will
be accepted by THE STAG.

Social Conscience
A letter to the editors of THE STAG was received
recently from Nicholas Rosa, '51, constructively criti­cizing
the staff, the policies of the paper, and the writing
found in it. Mr. Rosa's letter contained many truths
'and was meant to aid the development and perfection
of THE STAG.
The editors welcome such constructive criticism
offered by the faculty or students for the improvement
of the paper. Destructive criticism voiced by students
whose only interest in the paper is a passive, degrading
remark to others in the cafeteria helps nobody and
leaves THE STAG susceptible in future issues to the
same errors which caused the remark. By approaching
the editors and offering active, well-intended criticism
to the men who can accept and?:ppreciate its merits,
errors in writing and policy-making oan be eliminated
gradually. .

Entries for the annual intra­mural
basketball tournament,
scheduled to start early in No­vember,
are now being accepted,
according to an announcement
today by Rev. Gerald Kinsella,
Athletic Director. Several teams
have expressed a desire to enter,
and Father Kinsella expects this
year's competition to reach the
highest peak since the start of
the league, two years ago.
Schafters Win;
Mile'wski Stars
Coming from behind with five
minutes left to play, the Schaf­tel'S
scored a hard fought 18-14
win over the Wolverines in the
first game of the Intra-mural
Football League. John Dieter
threw a 25 yard pass to Connie
Sternchak in the end zone for
the deciding marker of the con­test.
Joe Milewski sparked the pass­ing
attack of the Victors, con­necting
with two passes that ac­counted
for the other pair of
touchdowns for the winning
combine. In the opening minutes
of the first half, he heaved a
ten-yard toss to Ed Galla who
went over standing up. Midway
in the second half of play, Die­ter
was on the receiving end of
the other six-point pass.
The Wolverines used a run­ning
attack to account for their
tallies, as Bob Curley skirted
for 50 yards on a cut-back play
for the initial loser's score. Rocky
Forte registered the remaining
TD, as he went around right
end for ten yards. Forte also ac­counted
for the Wolverines other
score, as he tagged Milewski in
the Schafters' end zone for a
safety:
Play in the league will con­tinue
this week, as the remain­ing
teams in the circuit, the
Hatchetmen, the Troubadours
and the Differentials will swing
into action.

Tech Takes Stags;
F. U. Meets Arnold
Placing but one man in the
first five finishers, Fairfield Uni­versity's
cross country team lost
its opening dual meet of the sea­son
last Friday, as White Plains
Technical Institute carried off a
16-39 victory. The Red and
White harriers will engage Ar­nold
College of nearby Milford
on Saturday in an attempt to
post their first win of the early
season.
The invading New York
school swept the first four places
on Friday, as Vin De Buono
crossed the tape first, registering
a good time of 19:05 for the
course. Teammates Bob Sulli­van,
Pete Melnick and Tom
Kelley followed close behind,
with Bart Stuart closing out the
victors scoring, as he finished
sixth.
Joe Miko, registering fifth,
was the first to register points
for the Red Stags, with Ed Dowl­ing,
George Boser and the Stern­chak
brothers, Connie and
Richie, following in that order
to round out the scoring for the
losing Fairfield combine.
Arnold will be a favorite in
the meet on Saturday, but Coach
William Perrault hopes that the
additional week of practice will
afford the team a chance to get
into top shape.
Fairfield's athletes are to be
honored at a special ceremony in
Berchmans auditorium on Thurs­day,
November 9th, at eight
o'clock. The exact program has
not been determined. However,
plans are now being developed
by a committee under the chair­manship
of John Miko, '51.
The 1950-51 basketball team
will be present at the affair, and
will be individually introduced
to the students by Coach James
Hanrahan.
Mr. William Perrault, coach of
the highly successful 1950 Track
Team will also be present, and
will outline his prospects for the
1951 season.
Awards will be made by Fr.
Gerald Kinsella, S.J., Athletic
Director of the University, to
last year's Basketball and Track
teams.

LQcal fans have seen this in the
personage of his brother, Mickey
Homa, outstanding star of the
Bridgeport Aerasols. Stan Su­chenski,
a towering guard, looks
especially well in the pick and
screen style of Coach Hanrahan.
From Marianapolis we have sev­eral
outstanding players, among
them the highly-touted Bob
Markovic and Paul Frauenhofer,
a fast playmaker and perpetual
ball hawk. Roger Blaine, a stocky
forward with a deadly eye also
will fit into the varsity picture.
These are perhaps the most out­standing
of the newcomers but
it won't be until opening game
time or even later, that one is
sure of the top material that we
have here at Fairfield. One strik-ing
fact is that all players have Flanked by Coach William Perrault. right. and Manager Joe

Coach's own words, "the first

Mr. Hanrahan seems very well
pleased with the spirit shown,
especially with that of last year's
squad. One doesn't have to look
too far for the partial cause of
this spirit and hustle. It can
quickly be attributed to a hard­driving
experienced c 0 a c h ,
namely the well-liked Mr. Han­rahan
himself.
About the prospects for the
season itself, the mentor re­marked,
"We are striving for
a better than .500 average this
year and we hope within three

PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED
Those "Friday nights at the
Armory" are over a month away
for the basketball enthusiasts
but the boys who do all the per­forming
are busy getting in
shape for what looks like a
pretty good season. If anyone is
interested in capturing a little
pre-season spirit just let him
trek to basketball practice one
of these cool afternoons.
For the past few weeks Coach
Hanrahan has been putting his
team thru the ringers in the form
of stiff conditioning exercises.
However, as the season grows
closer, things begin to shape up,
especially an indication of who
will play and what system will
be employed. As for the pattern
of attack, the Coach is set on a
fast break when it's possible. For
a set offense, he has the tradi­tional
pick and screen.
At this writing a varsity team
has not been picked. From the
'22 left, the Coach expects to keep
15 for varsity competition with
the remaining seven in line for
jayvee duty. It's almost a sure
bet that last year's first six men
-Captain Jack Sullivan, Joe
Miko, Joe Regnsburger, Joe Ke­hoe,
Jack Mullady and Jack
Moffett-will once again wear a
varsity uniform. From the under­classmen,
especially the Fresh­men,
comes the big boost that,
along with veterans, will help
put Fairfield on the basketball
map.
'From the town of Fairfield it­self
comes Jimmy Homa who
has a host of shots, among them
a phenomenal over-hand hook.
