Bellarmine Lecture
To Be Presented
Thursday, Nov. 9
Father MacDonnell, Director of Publicity, has an­nounced
that in cooperation with the Curtis Circulation
Company, a Magazine Drive will be held starting Fri­day,
November 3rd and ending Monday, November
20th. It will be held on a class level, and individual
prizes will be awarded to each class for the four students
who make the highest returns.
The Senior, Junior, and Soph­omore
classes will again have
the opportunity to swell their
class treasuries through the gen­erosity
of the Curtis Company.
The class officers have already
appointed team captains who
will make every effort to contact
each student before the drive
is a day old.
The time period has been de­liberately
shortened to two
weeks in the belief that a con­centrated
effort over a short du­ration
will bring greater results.
The plan of the' drive is quite
simple. The student sells a sub­scription
to a popular magazine,
the school keeps a certain per­centage,
and the rest is returned
to the Curtis Company. It may
be a new subscription or a re­newal
of an old ~ne. If there is
still time to run on the old sub­scription,
the new one will not
start until the old one runs out.
A subscription to the Saturday
Evening Post costs $6.00. Of this
amount the school retains 50%
or $3.00. If every student should
sell two subscriptions to the
Post, each treasury would receive
a thousand dollars.

James Alexander Appointed
As Chairman Of Carnival
At a past meeting of the Student Council, James
Alexander, '51, was appointed Chairman of the fourth
annual Mid-Winter Carnival. The Carnival, to be held
on February 2, 1951, is the climax of the winter social
season at Fairfield University. Selection of a Snow
Queen is featured. This is the only formal affair to
which all classes are invited.------ Alexander, who has been ac-tivated
by the Naval Reserve,
but deferred until February 15,
is enrolled in the Bachelor of
Business Administration course,
majoring in Management. He
has served as a committee mem­ber
for the Mid-Winter Carni­val
since its inception in 1947.
He has also worked on various
other dance committees, includ­ing
the Harvest Hop and the
Athletic Association Dance. He
is also a member of the Busi­ness
Board and Layout Commit­tee
of the Manor.
The interest of the students
toward the Carnival has been
encouraging. Fifty-three mem­bers
signed to work on the Com­mittee
at the invitation of the
Chairman. After careful consid­eration,
a committee was select­ed
from the list.
Though ·the plans are still be­ing
formulated, it has been an­nounced
that the dance will be
held in the Ritz Ballroom from
9:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. As in
the past, no corsages will. be
permitted since the comm1ttee
plans to present roses to all the
guests.
Because of the success of the
policy in past Carnivals, the res­ervation
of tables is planned. As
yet, no band has been contracted
for the dance.

A prospector would never know he was standing on
a mountain of gold if he were too lazy to swing his pick
into its crust and uncover the nuggets. Though we at
Fairfield are not atop a mountain of ·gold, we have
something closely resembling it. Though nuggets will
not be -picked off the ground, dollar bills can be swept
, into our class treasuries!
The forthcoming Magazine Drive is an excellent
means for each class to better its financial status consid~
erably. It's success, however, is entirely up to the
individual students.
A goal of five thousand dollars was .set during the
1949'drive, but its realization was frustrated completely,
since only one-fourth of that amount was submitted.
Of this, approximately ninety per cent was attributed
to the present Senior Class, truly the pioneering and
prospecting class of Fairfield University.
The money realized from the Magazine Drive
would be of tremendous aid to each class in financing
class activities. One likes to look back upon a wonder­ful
Senior Prom, or transverse by-gone years by gazing
at his class Yearbook. These things are nice and are
traditional, but they cost money!
The proceeds of a successful drive would help each
class .finance these and other activities, and thus would
benefit the individual student. It would be easier, and
far more painless, for class members to sell a few sU!b­scriptions
to friends and neighbors, and thus help offset
the gurgling drain of money to be encountered in their
Senior Year.
Let's stock our class treasuries with green, rolding
. "nuggets" by pushing a Jew door bells or dialing a few
friends. The success of the 1950 Magazine Drive rests
with the eight hundred prospectors of Fairfield
University.

FAIRFIELD'S FAVORITE
NIGHT SPOT
Continuing on their victorious
ways in the Intra-mural Foot­ball
League, the Schafters ex­tended
their winning streak to
three straight games, registering
24-6 and 36-6 triumphs over the
Hatchetmen and Troubadours re­spectively.
Joe Milewski sparked the
Schafters in both wins as he
tossed two six-point passes to
set the pace against the Hatch­etmen,
while he threw five
touchdown passes against the
Troubadours and scored the
other tally himself.
George Pieger, John Dieter,
and Conrad Sternschak also were
impressive for the winners, as
they were on the receiving end
of most of Milewski's passes.
last year's games and there's no
reason why history shouldn't re­peat
itself here. Regensburger
has never looked better than he
has in the practice sessions and
fits very well into the picture.
Markovic is above other things
an outstanding shot. He was
high scorer for Marianapolis last
year. Suchenski's chief asset is
probably his height and aggres­siveness.
He can also move fast
and is an exceptional ball hand­ler
for his height.
Sullivan and Kehoe were last
year's high point men at the for­ward
positions, but they will
find keen competition in Roger
Blain and Paul Frauenhofer.
Blain has a soft one-handed push
shot that is quite deadly, while
Frauenhofer, who may not make
a point in a game, is the type
whose brilliant playmaking will
make him the star in many a
ball game. Jack Moffett is
another forward. This ball play­er
without doubt has the finest
set shot in these parts. The big
question is whether Hanrahan's
system will be conducive to Mof­fett's
chance of getting those sets
away.

say Fairfield will have ten start­ers.

Miko has improved and his
great board work will prove
valuable once again. However,
don't be surprised if Joe turns
into a scorer besides. Homa has
the edge on Miko in shooting
and should be a high point man
for F.U. The guards, in Mullady,

the sport will become a part of
the school. One thing, however,
that might be an indication as
to the caliber of the team may
lie in the reoort of the Associ­ated
Press that was published
in The Sporting News recently.
The report listed the one hun­dred
outstanding teams of the
1949 season, and among them
were twelve Catholic schools. Of
these, nine were Jesuit institu­tions,
namely, Fordham, Boston
College, Hoi y Cross, Santa
Clara, Xavier of Ohio, San Fran­cisco,
Duquesne, Creighton and
Loyola of Los Angeles. The
other three colleges were Notre
Dame, Villanova and St. Mary's
of California.
At this writing, Xavier and
Loyola are the only undefeated
elevens of the twelve colleges.
The former has won seven, while
the Californians have gained
five triumphs. The only other
undefeated Catholic school, not
c'onsidered a "name" school, is
St. Norbert's of Wisconsin, with
six wins.
Several schools listed on our
varsity basketball schedule have
signed new coaches since last
year. Morris (Tubby) Raskin has
taken over the reigns of Brook­lyn
College. while Tom Car­mody

Many students have queried this
corner as to what college
athletic associations our school
is connected with. As all of you
know, we are using Freshmen in
varsity competition. Since we
are a young school, it is neces­sary
to do this so that we may
have a formidable representa­tion
be it on the basketball J COUl\ the baseball ,diamond? or
the track field. Most assoclatlOns
do not oermit this, and as a re­sult,
will not admit our school
as members. One group does,
however and we are members
of that drganization ... the Na­tional
Association of Intercol­legiate
Basketball, located at
Kansas City, Kansas.
Pather Kinsella, S.J., Athletic
Director, is anxious to· have af­filiation
with other groups, es­pecially
the newly formed East­ern
Catholic College Athletic
Conference, and as soon' as it is
no longer necessary to use Fresh­men
on our varsity, he will ap­ply
for membership.
Three additions have been
made to the varsity basketball
schedule during the past two
weeks. Concordia College of
Bronxville. New York. will in­vade
our home court on Friday.

home contract has been ar­ranged
with Willimantic State

These additions bring the var­sity
schedule to 25 games. with
14 being on the road. The home
game with Providence College.
scheduled for January 26. will be
played at the Waterbury State
Armory instead of at the Bridge­port

CARNIVAL
(Continued from Page 1)
Mr. George Weising of Fair­field,
Connecticut, a noted ice­sculptor,
will again provide the
decorations. Mr. Weising's ar­tistry
drew wide-spread praise
last year.
After much discussion, the
Student Council and the Chair­man
set the price of the bids at
six dollars. This is an increase of
one dollar over last year's price.
The reason for this increase was
given as being the result of an
increase in general expenses. A
loss of $150 was incurred at the
Mid-Wi~ter Carnival of 1950.
In 1948, the dance was held
in Berchmans Hall. About 150
couples attended. The following
year the Ritz Ballroom was con­tracted,
and again in 1949. At­tendance
in 1950 was 225 couples.
Chairman Alexander hopes
the Freshman and Sophomore
Class members will support this
event enthusiastically. It is
hoped that 300 couples will at­tend
the dance.

"A Look into the Oral Cavity"
was the topic selected for a talk
by Dr. Victor J. Serino, D.D.S.,
guest speaker at the Mendelian
Biology Club meeting Thursday,
October 26, 1950.
Dr. Serino presented his talk
to members of the biology club
and other interested members
of the student body. In an en­gaging
and interesting talk, he
covered all phases in the devel­opment
of teeth and the ab­normal
and pathological condi­tions
to be found in the oral
cavity.

Third, it would be foolish and
immoral just to let things take
their course. The government
must do all it can to prevent
the ruination of the dollar.
Fourth, The Board of Gover­nors
of the Federal Reserve
wants to lessen bankers' expan­sion
of credit-but the Treasury
is willing to let credit expand
if only it can keep the interest
rate down (so the cost of Gov­ernment
debt will be less). The
Regerve is right in this aim.
Fifth, the people should urge
the Government to cut wasteful
spending and should cut their
own expenditures. By patient
study they should try to under­stand
the monetary mechanics
of what is happening to their
dollar.
The guest speaker on October
23, 1950, was Mr. Carmen Don­narumma
who presented the
"State df American Foreign
Policy." Representing the stu­dents
were George Baehr, Vin­cent
Bartelmo and William Li­nane.
In four fundamental prin­ciples
Mr. Donnarumma explain­ed
the fault of the American
Policy.
First, America must come to
realize what a foreign policy is.
Our present foreign policy has
been filled with misconceptions,
error, and lack of basic guiding
foundations. Our foreign policy,
due to the existence of a world
policy, must have a world policy
as a directing conception.
Second, foreign policy takes
precedence over internal policy
today. Since the world political
problem is the key to the situa­tion,
it follows that it is impos-sible
to have a coherent and Dr. Victor J. Serino, D.D:S.
