STAG Vol. II-No. 10 Published By Students Of Fairfield University MARCH L 1951 Bensonians Make Debut, Receive Resounding Applause McNamara Expresses Student Appreciation In Address Approximately 1,400 music enthusiasts were thrilled by the recent Fairfield University Glee Club concert at the Klein Memorial on February 22. Though it was the first time the club presented a concert as soloists at the Klein, the auditorium was filled almost to its capacity, and the club presented what has come to be called the best concert since its inception three years ago. The program was enriched by selections from such current musical productions as the Rodgers - Hammerstein "Oklahoma" and "South Pacific." Negro Spirituals such as "Talk About Jerusalem Mornin'," "Steal Away," and "Dry Bones" were presented, and both the martial "Stouthearted Men" and the patriotic "This Is My Country" helped balance the program. Also sung were the "Agnus Dei" and "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," as well as "Stardust" and several other selections. Edward Caldwell, '51, presented the first tenor solo of the evening with his rendition of Clara Edwards' "By The Bend Of The River." Soon thereafter, the Campus Minstrels, including George Keane, Edward Caldwell, Raymond O'Connor, James Gillson, Francis Woods, Willis Kelly, Charles Black, and Kurt Martha, sang their "Rigoletto Quartette" and the "Toreador Song." John Sacco, a veteran member of the Minstrels, was absent due to a severe attack of larangytis. His solo in the "Toreador Song" was sung by George Keane. McNamara Honors Mr. Harak At the conclusion of Part One of the program, John McNamara, President of the Student Council, delayed Mr. Harak's exit from the stage and presented him with a gift on behalf of the student body of Fairfield Uni- (Continued on Page Three) Jack Malalde Mr. Harak and Council President McNamara A gift ..• "On behalf of the student Body."

This Adoration will be held every Friday for the remainder of Lent from 9:30 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. Af least two students should be present in the chapel at all times. Those who would like to devote one-half hour to a vigil before the Blessed Sacrament may designate on the schedule on the main bulletin board. which thirty minutes they would like to spend in the chapel. By now. most of us have broken our resolution to give up cigarettes for Lent, so here's a chance to do something positive. Professor Walton Stresses Layman~s Place In World The fourth in the 1950-51 series of Bellarmine Lectures was delivered on Tuesday, February 20th in Berchmans Hall. The guest lecturer was Mr. William M. Walton, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Yale University. Mr. Walto'n chose as his topic, "The Laymans Role in the Resurgence of Scholastic Philosophy." Mr. Walton began his lecture by tracing the history of Thomas Aquinas and explaining that Thomas ceased his writings in 1274, and from that time on lectured in the various universities. He was soon forced out of the University of Paris and his works were forbidden to be taught. University professors at Oxford had to take an oath not to teach the doctrines of Aquinas. Thus began the extinction of the works of Thomas, Scotu, Occam and other Scholastics, from the cultural life of Europe. From 1274 until modern times the work of these men and others like St. Robert Bellarmine were not known for they were forced into a catacomb and not discovered until recently by those that were outside the Church. To bring out this point Mr. Walton said that when he (Continued on Page Six) Receives Letters Jack Malakie Chairman James Long Biq Things Planned Junior Week In Embryonic Stage Plans for a promlsmg variety of entertainment are being made for Junior Week, May 1-4. Under their respective chairmen, committees are formulating what according to them promises to be a very entertaini!1g and pleasurable week to all members of Fairfield University and their friends. Tuesday, May 1, the Junior Smoker will commence the festive week. The talent for this Smoker will be provided by the students of Fairfield, and tentative plans to get a well known speaker have been made. Bernie Beglane and Fred Roback, cochairmen of the Smoker, said there will be a variety of activity- enough to satiate the appetites of the most discriminating students. The price for admission has not been established.

The call letter'S are WIT H X. way, direct personal contacts to which they are restricted. Most of the civilized countries of the world, and quite a few undeveloped places also, have amateur stations, and American amateurs may communicate with most of the other amateurs in the world. A few countries now forbid their amateurs to talk to outsiders, but so far the U.S. has made no such restriction (as it did just before World War II) and WITHX will have many opportunities for foreign contacts. The power of WITHX will be only seventy-five watts at present, but this is sufficient for world-wide range under proper conditions and choice of frequency. "Our problem," says (Continued on Page Two) The station will not be used for "broadcasting" as commonly conceived, as amateur stations may engage only in two-way, personal communications with other stations, and only on certain bands of frequencies on the short waves. Thus the Amateur Radio Society will not sponsor any dramatic or news-analysis programs, and it will not sell "commercial advertising time. Amateurs are forbidden by law to transmit music or even news reports. This is not a drawback for amateurs, says the Society's president, Joseph Matuskewicz, because there is no standing audience for amateur stations as there is on the standard broadcast bands, and amateurs are interested only in the two- Bridgeport Hospital -- Room 301 Joseph Pander Mr. James P. Vail of the Sociology Department May he "cast off the cast" soon! Monday, the eighth of January, was a beautiful, sun drenched day. Early in the morning, however, the air was frigid and the ground, covered with a thick sheet of ice, was slippery underfoot. Mr. James Vail of the faculty was on his way to school when the tragedy happened-, as he said, "Big Jim went boom." For the past seven weeks, Mr. Vail has been confined to Bridgeport Hospital. His classes, both at Fairfield and at St. Vincent's, have been handled by Father Gabriel Ryan, S.J.

"We already have a training program in progress. Members will learn to build equipment beginning with a simple onetube receiver, and other members like Al Takas, Joe Pander, Anthony Lomazzo and Nicholas Rosa, to name a few are teaching radio fundamentals and code." "The AREC is sponsored by the American Radio Relay League," explained Mr. Rosa, "which is our national organization of amateurs. The League publishes the famous Radio Amateur's Handbook, which is used even by professional radio schools to train students, and the magazine QST, read the world over and acknowledged by engineers to be one of the best technical journals in existence. The League sponsors experiments and the development of new equipment and techniques, represents the amateur to the Government, and handles relations with foreign amateurs. Needless to say the Society hopes to affillate itself with the League soon." The Amateur Radio Society is in no way affiliated with the University Radio club. Meetings will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesdays. Those interested in joining the Society should contact any of its officers as soon as possible.

Mr. Rosa explained the nature of the amateur call, WITHX, which has four letters and one numeral. "The 'w' is a prefix for United States." he said, "as are 'K' and 'N.' Canadian amateurs have VE, France F, Italy I, Brazil LU, New Zealand ZL. These prefixes were settled by agreement among the governments in the nineteen-twenties. The "I" in our call stands for the First Radio District, of which there are ten in the United States, numbered one to ten. The remaining three letters are assigned in an alphabetical sequence, beginning with AAA. There are four-figure calls such as W2BB, but the supply was soon exhausted, and some districts have already run out of five-figure calls and have begun again with K: K9AAA, for instance." Secretary Joseph Lukas explained the function of the Amateur Radio Society. "It will be a permanent society here, both for incoming students who already have amateur licenses, and for students who wish to get them or who would like to learn a little about the technical side of radio. Since a government examination is required for a license, the Society will train interested members in the necessary knowledge and skills." "It is necessary to be able to Francis Woods, '52} .

Rice, in charge of the Clffair, and the Club's presentation was worthy of such an audience. Soloists, Edward Caldwell, Rudy Ross, and George Keane deserve hearty congratulations for their performances, as well as Mr. John McNamara, Student Council President, who delivered an inspiring speech in pTesenting a gift to Mr. Harak. The Bensonians also deserve special praise for their initial scheduled appearance. The quartet has readily established its place among the ranks of the increasingly famous Glee Club.

Dunkel figures a school's mark on the basis of the scores they make in games played. The caliber of the team played is also taken into consideration. Each and every game is rated. and it gives an indication of the superiority of one team over another. A team with a rating of 50.7 would be expected to beat us by eight points. The figures given do not mean that the score will be 50-42. By BERNIE BEGLANE With the recent basketbali scandal still the talk of the country, it wouldn't be right to completely ignore it at this time, although what I have to say about it has probably been said over and over since .the story bas occupied the headlines of all the newspapers. In mv opinion, the whole affair "stinks," and I don't fpel that any sympathy should be given the players involved. Sure, everybodv is entitled to make mistakes in their life. but how low can they stoop to do so? Do they have to bring such disl{race upon themselves as to sell their self respect? Do they have to disgrace their families? Do they have to sell their future? I don't think so. The money they received isn't worth the futures they gave up. One of the boys involved expected an aopointment to the New York City Fire Deoartment. Another was expected to really make a go of it in pro ball. What's the solution? I don't claim to know the exact answer. Many steps are being taken now that the pressure is bain.!! out on by the authorities. The welfare of the other students is being ignored in the hasty answers. Pulling out of big arenas doesn't seem to be a suitable reply. Some of the blame might exist there, but not all of it. The players involved aren't "angels" in the matter. It will take time and study to really come up with the proper remedy. A word of praise should goo to the timer at the New Britain State Teachers game. With the pressure that was put on him by the home crowd, it is really a tribute to his integrity to have him e-ive an answer that cost his school the ball game and which might cost them a tournev bid. George Thomas. manager of the varsity baseball team. is anxious to hear from some freshman or sophomore who is interested in assisting him with the team. The man selected will step in to Thomas' job when George graduates. Managers are a necessary part of any sport to make it a success, so anyone interested is asked to contact Thomas or Father Kinsella, Di-rector of Athletics. The success of the Junior Varsity-Knights of Xavier basketball game staged two weeks ago will now make it an annual fixture. Those in attendance were "treated" to a fine exhibition of comedy basketball that included "blind" referees, a new type basketball and some "wonderful" platoon-system substitution on the part of Coach Frank Orlowski of the Knights. A challenge has been issued by Bernie (Max) O'Meara on behalf of his intra-mural basketball team. They are willing to vie with any team in the school. Interested opponents should see Bernie or Father Crowley, Director of Intra-Mural Athletics. Fairfield's latest rating in Dunkel~s Ratings, the nationwide standard which lines up one college with any other in the country, is 42.7. For those The Senior Bowling League has concluded the first half of its schedule, with the Mudhooks crowned winners. The second half of play has gotten under way with the Lucky Strikes setting an early pace. They have garnered. a new high team game record with 573. They also hold down the team three-game series standard with a 1586 total. In a pair of challenge matches, the Seniors defeated the PreMedical Section in three straight games, while they gained a 2-1 decision over the Juniors. At the last meeting of the loop, it was decided to divide the schedule into three sections, with the winner being decided by a round-robin playoff. Mudhooks Annex First Half Title THE STAG Fairfield's regular basketball season schedule will come tt> a close tomorrow night at the Bridgeport State Armory when the Red Stags play host to their neighboring rivals, the University of Bridgeport. In the preliminary game, the junior varsity squads of both schools will clash, with the opening whistle slated for 7:30 p.m. The charges of Coach Jim Hanrahan will be out to g.ain the second win of the year over the Purple Knights. In an earlier meeting this season, Fairfield prevailed by a 64-57 margin. For Fairfield, Paul Frauenhofer and Joe Kehoe are expected to start as forwards with Jimmy Homa holding down the center slot. At the guard positions will be Stan Suchenski and Bobby Markovic. Frank Fitzpatrick, Jack Mullady, Jack Sullivan and Joe Miko are expected to see first line reserve duty. Herb Glines, mentor of the U.B. five, is scheduled to go along with Josh Liburd, Dick LaBash, . Gus Seaman, Charlie Kozulko and Lou Saccone. The Seasiders will be "up" for this important area battle, as first place for the mythical Bridgeport championship will be at stake. The Knights have two wins in three outings for this title, while Fairfield boasts one win and no losses. Stags Close With U.B.

In an effort to stimulate more interest in the Intramural Basketball League, Father John Crowley, league director, has announced that an indoor tournament will be staged at the Bridgeport State Armory.

Page 6 THE STAG March 1, 1951 Student Teachers Apply Theory In Prep Classroo,ns While many members of the Senior Class will not begin their professional training until after graduation, a number of other Seniors have already begun their professional training here at the University in the Teacher Training Program. The course being conducted in Directed Observation and Supervised Practice Teaching is under the supervision of Dr. Maurice E. Rogalin, Director of Teacher Training. In the program all phases of classroom management and the art of teaching are considered. In addition, all related activities which are proper to and expected of a teacher today are included; his relations with hi fellow teachers, the parents of his pupils, and his community are included in the course. After careful observation and study of the curriculum being followed, the student-teacher takes personal control of a class. His work is observed and supervised by the teacher who normally conducts the same class. The personal habits and traits, classroom organization and management, class records, and the teaching technique of the student- teacher are all evaluated by the supervising teacher. The Observation phase of the program is conducted at the Fairfield University College Preparatory School and in some local high schools. All Practice Teaching is also done at the Preparatory school, the only exceptions being some few subjects which are not taught at the Prep. Doctor Rogalin conducts periodic inspections of the internes in the classes which they are conducting. These inspections are followed by individual conferences with Dr. Rogalin where each student-teacher is consulted about his personal class problems and procedures. Then also there are group conferences where common difficulties that the whole training group may have encountered are discussed. At the. completion of his training period each interne will have been evaluated by the supervising teacher. A full and thorough consideration will be given to all phases of his work. In addition to this report on the interne, Dr. Rogalin also will evaluate the whole course as evidence of the student-teacher's work. Those men who are approved by the supervising teacher and by Dr. Rogalin will be recommended for State Teacher's Certificates if, in addition to this recommendation, they have fulfilled the University's requirements for graduation. Taking part in the Teacher Training Program are: Robert Berg, Frank Blowe, Richard Blank, Al Bown, William Braun, Bernard Bzdick, Anthony Caseria, Edward CUll, David Cunningham, Anthony DeFrancisco, Emilio DiFrancisco, Pasquale DiOrio, Edward Flannery, John Higgiston, James Kenny, Bernard Klimczak, Richard Leonard, Joseph Matuskowitz, Thomas MacCalla, J 0 h n McNamara Ralph Money, T.

Though it was the first time the club presented a concert as soloists at the Klein, the auditorium was filled almost to its capacity, and the club presented what has come to be called the best concert since its inception three years ago. The program was enriched by selections from such current musical productions as the Rodgers - Hammerstein "Oklahoma" and "South Pacific." Negro Spirituals such as "Talk About Jerusalem Mornin'," "Steal Away," and "Dry Bones" were presented, and both the martial "Stouthearted Men" and the patriotic "This Is My Country" helped balance the program. Also sung were the "Agnus Dei" and "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," as well as "Stardust" and several other selections. Edward Caldwell, '51, presented the first tenor solo of the evening with his rendition of Clara Edwards' "By The Bend Of The River." Soon thereafter, the Campus Minstrels, including George Keane, Edward Caldwell, Raymond O'Connor, James Gillson, Francis Woods, Willis Kelly, Charles Black, and Kurt Martha, sang their "Rigoletto Quartette" and the "Toreador Song." John Sacco, a veteran member of the Minstrels, was absent due to a severe attack of larangytis. His solo in the "Toreador Song" was sung by George Keane.

The guest lecturer was Mr. William M. Walton, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Yale University. Mr. Walto'n chose as his topic, "The Laymans Role in the Resurgence of Scholastic Philosophy." Mr. Walton began his lecture by tracing the history of Thomas Aquinas and explaining that Thomas ceased his writings in 1274, and from that time on lectured in the various universities. He was soon forced out of the University of Paris and his works were forbidden to be taught. University professors at Oxford had to take an oath not to teach the doctrines of Aquinas. Thus began the extinction of the works of Thomas, Scotu, Occam and other Scholastics, from the cultural life of Europe. From 1274 until modern times the work of these men and others like St. Robert Bellarmine were not known for they were forced into a catacomb and not discovered until recently by those that were outside the Church. To bring out this point Mr. Walton said that when he (Continued on Page Six) Receives Letters Jack Malakie Chairman James Long Biq Things Planned Junior Week In Embryonic Stage Plans for a promlsmg variety of entertainment are being made for Junior Week, May 1-4. Under their respective chairmen, committees are formulating what according to them promises to be a very entertaini!1g and pleasurable week to all members of Fairfield University and their friends. Tuesday, May 1, the Junior Smoker will commence the festive week. The talent for this Smoker will be provided by the students of Fairfield, and tentative plans to get a well known speaker have been made. Bernie Beglane and Fred Roback, cochairmen of the Smoker, said there will be a variety of activity- enough to satiate the appetites of the most discriminating students. The price for admission has not been established.

The call letter'S are WIT H X. way, direct personal contacts to which they are restricted. Most of the civilized countries of the world, and quite a few undeveloped places also, have amateur stations, and American amateurs may communicate with most of the other amateurs in the world. A few countries now forbid their amateurs to talk to outsiders, but so far the U.S. has made no such restriction (as it did just before World War II) and WITHX will have many opportunities for foreign contacts. The power of WITHX will be only seventy-five watts at present, but this is sufficient for world-wide range under proper conditions and choice of frequency. "Our problem," says (Continued on Page Two) The station will not be used for "broadcasting" as commonly conceived, as amateur stations may engage only in two-way, personal communications with other stations, and only on certain bands of frequencies on the short waves. Thus the Amateur Radio Society will not sponsor any dramatic or news-analysis programs, and it will not sell "commercial advertising time. Amateurs are forbidden by law to transmit music or even news reports. This is not a drawback for amateurs, says the Society's president, Joseph Matuskewicz, because there is no standing audience for amateur stations as there is on the standard broadcast bands, and amateurs are interested only in the two- Bridgeport Hospital -- Room 301 Joseph Pander Mr. James P. Vail of the Sociology Department May he "cast off the cast" soon! Monday, the eighth of January, was a beautiful, sun drenched day. Early in the morning, however, the air was frigid and the ground, covered with a thick sheet of ice, was slippery underfoot. Mr. James Vail of the faculty was on his way to school when the tragedy happened-, as he said, "Big Jim went boom." For the past seven weeks, Mr. Vail has been confined to Bridgeport Hospital. His classes, both at Fairfield and at St. Vincent's, have been handled by Father Gabriel Ryan, S.J.

"We already have a training program in progress. Members will learn to build equipment beginning with a simple onetube receiver, and other members like Al Takas, Joe Pander, Anthony Lomazzo and Nicholas Rosa, to name a few are teaching radio fundamentals and code." "The AREC is sponsored by the American Radio Relay League," explained Mr. Rosa, "which is our national organization of amateurs. The League publishes the famous Radio Amateur's Handbook, which is used even by professional radio schools to train students, and the magazine QST, read the world over and acknowledged by engineers to be one of the best technical journals in existence. The League sponsors experiments and the development of new equipment and techniques, represents the amateur to the Government, and handles relations with foreign amateurs. Needless to say the Society hopes to affillate itself with the League soon." The Amateur Radio Society is in no way affiliated with the University Radio club. Meetings will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesdays. Those interested in joining the Society should contact any of its officers as soon as possible.

Mr. Rosa explained the nature of the amateur call, WITHX, which has four letters and one numeral. "The 'w' is a prefix for United States." he said, "as are 'K' and 'N.' Canadian amateurs have VE, France F, Italy I, Brazil LU, New Zealand ZL. These prefixes were settled by agreement among the governments in the nineteen-twenties. The "I" in our call stands for the First Radio District, of which there are ten in the United States, numbered one to ten. The remaining three letters are assigned in an alphabetical sequence, beginning with AAA. There are four-figure calls such as W2BB, but the supply was soon exhausted, and some districts have already run out of five-figure calls and have begun again with K: K9AAA, for instance." Secretary Joseph Lukas explained the function of the Amateur Radio Society. "It will be a permanent society here, both for incoming students who already have amateur licenses, and for students who wish to get them or who would like to learn a little about the technical side of radio. Since a government examination is required for a license, the Society will train interested members in the necessary knowledge and skills." "It is necessary to be able to Francis Woods, '52} .

By BERNIE BEGLANE With the recent basketbali scandal still the talk of the country, it wouldn't be right to completely ignore it at this time, although what I have to say about it has probably been said over and over since .the story bas occupied the headlines of all the newspapers. In mv opinion, the whole affair "stinks," and I don't fpel that any sympathy should be given the players involved. Sure, everybodv is entitled to make mistakes in their life. but how low can they stoop to do so? Do they have to bring such disl{race upon themselves as to sell their self respect? Do they have to disgrace their families? Do they have to sell their future? I don't think so. The money they received isn't worth the futures they gave up. One of the boys involved expected an aopointment to the New York City Fire Deoartment. Another was expected to really make a go of it in pro ball. What's the solution? I don't claim to know the exact answer. Many steps are being taken now that the pressure is bain.!! out on by the authorities. The welfare of the other students is being ignored in the hasty answers. Pulling out of big arenas doesn't seem to be a suitable reply. Some of the blame might exist there, but not all of it. The players involved aren't "angels" in the matter. It will take time and study to really come up with the proper remedy. A word of praise should goo to the timer at the New Britain State Teachers game. With the pressure that was put on him by the home crowd, it is really a tribute to his integrity to have him e-ive an answer that cost his school the ball game and which might cost them a tournev bid.

Managers are a necessary part of any sport to make it a success, so anyone interested is asked to contact Thomas or Father Kinsella, Di-rector of Athletics. The success of the Junior Varsity-Knights of Xavier basketball game staged two weeks ago will now make it an annual fixture. Those in attendance were "treated" to a fine exhibition of comedy basketball that included "blind" referees, a new type basketball and some "wonderful" platoon-system substitution on the part of Coach Frank Orlowski of the Knights. A challenge has been issued by Bernie (Max) O'Meara on behalf of his intra-mural basketball team. They are willing to vie with any team in the school. Interested opponents should see Bernie or Father Crowley, Director of Intra-Mural Athletics. Fairfield's latest rating in Dunkel~s Ratings, the nationwide standard which lines up one college with any other in the country, is 42.7. For those The Senior Bowling League has concluded the first half of its schedule, with the Mudhooks crowned winners. The second half of play has gotten under way with the Lucky Strikes setting an early pace. They have garnered. a new high team game record with 573. They also hold down the team three-game series standard with a 1586 total. In a pair of challenge matches, the Seniors defeated the PreMedical Section in three straight games, while they gained a 2-1 decision over the Juniors. At the last meeting of the loop, it was decided to divide the schedule into three sections, with the winner being decided by a round-robin playoff. Mudhooks Annex First Half Title THE STAG Fairfield's regular basketball season schedule will come tt> a close tomorrow night at the Bridgeport State Armory when the Red Stags play host to their neighboring rivals, the University of Bridgeport. In the preliminary game, the junior varsity squads of both schools will clash, with the opening whistle slated for 7:30 p.m. The charges of Coach Jim Hanrahan will be out to g.ain the second win of the year over the Purple Knights. In an earlier meeting this season, Fairfield prevailed by a 64-57 margin. For Fairfield, Paul Frauenhofer and Joe Kehoe are expected to start as forwards with Jimmy Homa holding down the center slot. At the guard positions will be Stan Suchenski and Bobby Markovic. Frank Fitzpatrick, Jack Mullady, Jack Sullivan and Joe Miko are expected to see first line reserve duty. Herb Glines, mentor of the U.B. five, is scheduled to go along with Josh Liburd, Dick LaBash, . Gus Seaman, Charlie Kozulko and Lou Saccone. The Seasiders will be "up" for this important area battle, as first place for the mythical Bridgeport championship will be at stake. The Knights have two wins in three outings for this title, while Fairfield boasts one win and no losses. Stags Close With U.B.

In an effort to stimulate more interest in the Intramural Basketball League, Father John Crowley, league director, has announced that an indoor tournament will be staged at the Bridgeport State Armory. Most students should find this a better tourney to participate in rather than the outdoor loop that was staged with moderate success. A record number of entries are expected. The tournament will be an elimination affair, with suitable prizes offered to the victors. Members of the Athletic Association will be in charge of the affair, and they will supply the necessary officials. Teams desiring to participate are asked to submit their entries to Father Crowley or to any member of the Athletic Association. ~ ... fr;~iS ~ ~ corner... " ~~ By FRANCIS G.

Page 6 THE STAG March 1, 1951 Student Teachers Apply Theory In Prep Classroo,ns While many members of the Senior Class will not begin their professional training until after graduation, a number of other Seniors have already begun their professional training here at the University in the Teacher Training Program. The course being conducted in Directed Observation and Supervised Practice Teaching is under the supervision of Dr. Maurice E. Rogalin, Director of Teacher Training. In the program all phases of classroom management and the art of teaching are considered. In addition, all related activities which are proper to and expected of a teacher today are included; his relations with hi fellow teachers, the parents of his pupils, and his community are included in the course. After careful observation and study of the curriculum being followed, the student-teacher takes personal control of a class. His work is observed and supervised by the teacher who normally conducts the same class. The personal habits and traits, classroom organization and management, class records, and the teaching technique of the student- teacher are all evaluated by the supervising teacher. The Observation phase of the program is conducted at the Fairfield University College Preparatory School and in some local high schools. All Practice Teaching is also done at the Preparatory school, the only exceptions being some few subjects which are not taught at the Prep. Doctor Rogalin conducts periodic inspections of the internes in the classes which they are conducting. These inspections are followed by individual conferences with Dr. Rogalin where each student-teacher is consulted about his personal class problems and procedures. Then also there are group conferences where common difficulties that the whole training group may have encountered are discussed. At the. completion of his training period each interne will have been evaluated by the supervising teacher. A full and thorough consideration will be given to all phases of his work. In addition to this report on the interne, Dr. Rogalin also will evaluate the whole course as evidence of the student-teacher's work. Those men who are approved by the supervising teacher and by Dr. Rogalin will be recommended for State Teacher's Certificates if, in addition to this recommendation, they have fulfilled the University's requirements for graduation. Taking part in the Teacher Training Program are: Robert Berg, Frank Blowe, Richard Blank, Al Bown, William Braun, Bernard Bzdick, Anthony Caseria, Edward CUll, David Cunningham, Anthony DeFrancisco, Emilio DiFrancisco, Pasquale DiOrio, Edward Flannery, John Higgiston, James Kenny, Bernard Klimczak, Richard Leonard, Joseph Matuskowitz, Thomas MacCalla, J 0 h n McNamara Ralph Money, T.
