placed second at the annual
debating tournament of the
New England'Region of the National
Federation of Catholic
College Students. The event was
held at Providence College on
March 16 and 17. The subject
debated was the National Topic,
Resolved: That the Non-Communist
Nations Should Form a
New International Organization.
Fairfield was represented by
two debating teams: an affirmative
team consisting of Ed Wall
and Thomas Tierney, and a negative
team consisting of George
Birge and Thomas Flaherty.
Participating schools were AIbertus
Magnus, Salve Regina,
Our Lady of the Elms, Stonyhill,
St. Anselm's, Providence
College, Holy Cross, and Fairfield
University. The affirmative
team from Fairfield entered the
finals, and was narrowly defeated
by Holy Cross on a split
decision.
A debate is now being negotiated
with the United States Militry
Academy at West Point. This
debate should take place some
time in April if the plans are
accepted by the Academy.
Several debates are planned
for the remainder of the year.
On April 13, the negative team
of Thomas Flaherty and John
Fray will debate Fordham University,
and on the same afternoon
another negative team consisting
of Ted Krolikowski and
Joseph Franchi will debate the
Marymount College. Both debates
will have as their subject
the National Topic.

FairHeld Graduates
Pioneer Class
Tuesday, June 12
By Edward Sperry, '52
The first graduating class of
Fairfield University has completed
plans for their Commencement
Week which will, in
years to come, bring back nostalgic
memories. The diversity
of the program will provide
mixed emotions: the play on
Thursday night will make for
hilarity, whereas the procession
of the Class in caps and gowns
on the following Tuesday will be
staid.
In Berchmans Hall on Thursday
night, June 7, some of the
talented Class of '51 will present
a play depicting the joys, sorrows,
labor and bewilderment
they experienced while receiving
an education. The following
day will be a Day of Recollection
under the direction of Father
Edmund Hogan, S.J. McAulife
Hall will provide the atmosphere
necessary for sincere
meditation and prayer.
The Senior Class Picnic will
be held on Saturday, June 9, at

Glee Club On
This evening, April 12, the Knights of Xavier
will sponsor the second annual Father-Son Night
at Berchmans Hall. The principal speaker will be
Father Harold C. Gardiner, S.J., associate editor of
the national Catholic weekly, AMERICA. A 9pecial
feature of tonight's program will be selections
offered by the "Campus Minstrels" of the Fairfield
University Glee club.
The purpose of the night is to bring the members
of the Student Body and their fathers closer
tc-gether. The affair held last year was an outstanding
success, and it is hoped that the response
this year will be as favorable. A fee of one dollar
per person will be charged and refreshments will
be served.
Rev. Hubert F. Schiffer, S.J.
Friday, March 30th, the Fairfield
University Glee Club kept
its first recording date with Columbia
Records. They waxed
their first six sides that afternoon
at the Columbia Studios in
New York.
Included in the album are:
"Men In Red, Stout Hearted
Men, De Animals a Comin',
Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring,
Steal Away, and When Day Is
Done."
"I Was A-Bombed"
John McNamarra, President
of the Student Council, has announced
that elections for student
council positions and Class
Officers will be held Thursday,
April 26. Should there be no
school on the day, the elections
will take place on Wednesday,
April 25.
The important fact to be noted
is that the members to the Student
Council will now be elected
in the spring rather than in
the fall as has been the custom.
However, those elected will not
take office until the first day of
the following school year, and
therefore, their terms of office
will coincide with the dates of
the school calendar.
The rules for election will be
similar to those of previous elections:
Academic standards will
be set by the Administration,
which generally means an average
of seventy percent and no
outstanding flunks.
The decision to change the
election of Council members to
this time was decided upon at
the meeting of the Student
Council of Tuesday, April 10.

"I Was A-Bombed." On Thursday, Apri:l 26, 1951,
the sixth of this year's BeUannine Lectures will be
given in BeI"chmans Hall, when the Rev. Hubert F.
Schiffer, S.J., a survivor of the first atom bomb in human
history, will tell his story.
--------------
Father Schiffer, a thirty-six-year-
old German-born Jesuit,
joined the Society in 1934 and
was sent to Japan in 1935. He
was assigned to study Japanese
Language, Literature and Religion
at the Sophia University.
After acting as interpreter of
the Chinese bishop, Most Rev.
Tchao, S.J., for one year, he began
his Theological studies at
Shanghai and completed them in
Tokyo, and was ordained a
priest there. Father Schiffer was
sent to Hiroshima as an assistant
in a parish church in July of
1945. Two weeks later Hiroshima
was completely destroyed
by the A-bomb.
On the morning of August 6,
1945, Fr. Schiffer had offered
Mass and eaten breakfast, and
was quietly reading a Japanese
newspaper at the breakfast
table, when the bomb exploded
eight blocks from the church,
which was leveled.. The adjoining
earthquake-proof rectory
was severely damagecl, but remained
one of the few buildings
left standing in the city of
400,000. Fr. Schiffer recalled:
"The room was suddenly filled
with a b~inding light. ThenBang!-
a terrific concussion
hurled me across the room. I
was thrown against the opposite
wall as though heavy sledge
hammers had hit me in the back
and head."
The next thing he knew, he
was lying down, recovering consciousness
and was covered with
blood that spurted from a cut

Hilarious Pioneer Night Shows
Hidden Student Talents
By DAVE PHELAN. '53
Those who gathered in Berchmans Hall last Thursday
evening :£or the Seniors' Pioneer Night were treated
to a show that will long be remembered, as well as ex,
cellent refreshments. Under the direction of Marty
Nigro, '51, director and master of ceremonies, the show
rolled merrily along for a little over three hours.
A jazz combo, composed of
some of the best young musicians
in the area, opened the festivities
with several smooth selections
while the hall became filled and
the guests were settling down
at tables thoughtfully provided
with cigars and cigarettes. The
s tell a l' jazzmen mentioned
above were Bobby Butler, sax;
Boots Auger, brushes 'and bass;
Joe Powers on the trumpet; Bill
Curley at the piano; Bob Fitzpatrick,
bass; Paul Zuzick on the
drums.
Following the music, M. C.
Nigro delivered a stirring piece
of oratory on the hardships of
the early years at Fairfield, mentioning
that that pathblazing
class had to suffer with three
ping-pong tables, real spoons,
etc. Announcing the first skit of
the show, Marty introduced it
as the worst of the evening. It
was.
However the production began
to improve with the very
next act, an impersonation of
Peter Lorre and Sidney Greenstreet,
by Joe Forte. Signs of
greater life and wit appeared in
the follow'ing skit by Frank DiScalIa;
a satire on the cafeteria
stirring sticks, which contained
a clever parody of the Whiffenpoof
Song.
Then the fans were treated to
a little more music. Tommy Canerella
sang "Blue Moon" and
"Thinking Of You" in professional
fashion, to the accompaniment
of the combo.
Next came one of the high
points of the affair; a satire
call e d "Fairfield University
Dramatizes the News," written
by Marshall Bridgewater. John
Heckler, Tom Mohmphy, Bob
Fitzpatrick, and Curt Martha delivered
inspired interpretations
in the dramatization of a story
of a woman who had been ruin-

Alumni Field. In the evening an
informal dance will bring the
day to a satisfying end. Both
affairs are under the chairmanship
of Frank Bepko.
Sunday, June 10, commences
the formal activities of graduation.
The Seniors will attend
Mass at McAulife Hall, and then
go to the Communion Breakfast
which will be served at the Fairfield
Inn. Then, appearing for
the first time in their caps and
gowns, the Seniors will attend
the Baccalaureate ceremonies
which are being held on Sunday
evening in one of the Bridgeport
churches.
Class Day exercises on Monday
afternoon will be held outside,
weather permitting. The
Senior Class will present a
Shrine to Our Lady of Fairfield,
which will be followed by the
planting of Dogwood trees. Also
included in the afternoon activities
is a tea for the parents and
guests of the Seniors. In the evening,
there will be a banquet
held at the Stratfield Hotel. The
Seniors will be the guests of the
Administration.
Commencement Day activities
will start at 10:30 A M. with a
procession of the visiting dignitaries
of other Universities and
Colleges and the graduating
class of 1951. Honorary degrees
will be bestowed upon the reputable
visiting personages and
then the Seniors will receive
their degrees. This ceremony
will be held at Alumni Field.
In the evening the first graduating
class of Fairfield University
will then attend the formal Senior
Ball, Chairman of which is
Joe Regensburger. The committee
has olanned to hold the Ball
at Laddin's Terrace in Stamford.

STUDENT
COUNCIL NOTES
ALL BLISS AND
HEAVEN TOO:
Council received a letter from
the girls at ALBERTUS MAGNUS
pertaining to the very unsportsmanlike
way promenades
are being carried on at F.U....
The part of the dances they dislike
in particular is the ending,
the reason being that "GOOD
NIGHT SWEETHEART" is not
played . . . The delegates took
quick action and, as of now,
along with other standards such
as "THE STAR-SPANGLED
BANNER," all following Fairfield
dances will end with said
melody ... How Sedimenial ...
· . . Good night "SWEAThearts,"
see you in two weeks
· .. I shall be with you in spirit
· .. 100% ... proof ...
THE GUIDING LIGHTS:
Bob Walsh brought up a very
interesting measure which took
almost three-quarters of COUNcIL
time . . . It was an idea
whereby six or more responsible
Juniors (next year's class) would
be appointed to act as interest
boosters for the incoming Freshmen
. . . They would see to it
that their little charges, the darling
little boys, learn how to
stand on their two feet in activities
such as Magazine Drives,
dances, Ping-pong tournaments
and the like ... These men will
always be available to the Frosh
whenever the "dears" are seeking
any sort of advice (what's
good at Saratoga) ... There is
but one drawback, all those who
are not "Den Mothers" at heart
need not apply . . .
ACTION MY BOYS, ACTION:
Conklin expressed concern
over the fact that students should
be allowed to vote for COUNCIL
members at the same time class
elections are held . . . It seems
that there has been too much
time lost when new men come
into office to take up duties
which are entirely unfamiliar
(here I could make a funny but
I won't) ... In short, to eliminate
the "New Year Blues," we
should have class and Council
elections simultaneously .
VIVE LA POLITBURO ...
-The Editor
We~ll Do Our Best
Fairfield University meets this requirement readily.
It is not a factory for athletes, nor a sanctuary for
recluses ... it is a molder of men who will go intJo the
world with an understanding of other men, and the
organizations embodied in it display this characteristic.
Such clubs as the. Sodality, the Public Affairs Club, the
Radio Club, or the Debating Society display the attitudes
of Fairfield University concerning current social,
political, or moral problems. These appeal to one gro~p
of individuals, and perhaps instill an interest in such
matters in other groups. Regional clubs sponsor the
Glee Club with the intent of establishing a scholarship
fund, and thus carry the voice of Fairfield in harmony
to a music-loving audience. The Knights of Xavier provide
for entertainment and the development of :5raternal
spirit among the students; sports carry the spirit
of fair competition before a sports-minded public.
In short,each oontributes to the flo~tering and display
of school spirit, teachings, and ideals. This is done
by each in its own way, ,but it 'all helps to show the
pubHc what Fairfield University represents. Recognition
of the sincere eff,orts of each club results from the
interest and enthusiasm they display. Recognition by
THE STAG is nice, but secondary. Recognition by the
public is primary, and essential!
The interests of the public vary as the weather.
with some individuals having an intense interest in
sports, while others would rather disregard sports for
the opera or a good book. The differences between individuals
provide for numerous differences of interests
within the group, and no one faction can at one time
satisfy the interests of all. Thus only by appealing to
the Vlarious interests of the group can an institution
hope to display its spirit to an interested public.
Since THE STAG is limited in its size and frequency
of publication, it is impossible to feature each
club as the team was featured. We do not think that
other organizations expect such prominence, but in aU
fairness, we feel that the staff should give recognition
where recognition is due. Some clubs have felt slighted
in the past, while others have been delighted by a seemingly
excessive amount of publicity.
Sports is an item of major importance in almost
every American university, and as such, has the most
appeal, interest, and in some institutions, importance
attribut,ed to it. At Fairfield, however, this faction ha5
not yet become all-important, all-influential, and allinspiring,
nor do we think it will in the future. We have
in <our institution a seeming "balance of powers," where
sports, music, acting, debating, and the fraternal spirit
fostered by regional dubs share almost equally in plHying
an important role in rostering and displaying school
spirit. If at one time sports has the honor of being
prominent before the eyes of the public, at another time
this honor is relinquished to the Glee Club, the Radio
Club, the Debating Society, the Public Affairs Club.

DEBATING
Continued from Page 1
the affirmative team of John
Fray and Steven Sedensky will
debate Holy Cross College in
Worcester, Mass. On the following
afternoon, the same affirmative
team of Fray and Sedensky
will debate the College of Our
Lady of the Elms.
RULE V. Never look at the
classroom clock. This is a dead
give-away and is only for amateurs.
The expert non-payer of
attention always wears a watch
with a second hand. This way he
can be precise as to the exact
second on how much time is
left in the class. Counting seconds
can be made into a delightful
time-wasting-pursuit.
In sum, it is evident that one
avoids being caught by simulating
attention. This artifice
must necessarily be deliberate
at first, but with the passing of
time it becomes an unconscious
act. There are those who can actually
sleep and at the same time
appear to be paying attention.
This is the apex of our art and
is the goal for which all students
should strive.'
RULE III. Always laugh or
applaud when the maior et
sanior pars of the class laughs or
applauds. It is certain that the
teacher has gotten off a purported
witticism and is carefully
noting those who fail to laugh.
Let expediency and not humor
direct your laughter. If you feel
this would compromise your
good taste then you should not
be trying to learn how not to
pay attention in the first place.
You ought either to be a man of
principle or a day-dreamer, you
cannot be both.
RULE IV. Always be making
marks with your pencil on some
piece of paper. This will pass as
note-taking and is certain to
please the instructor. Moreover,
should you doodle or draw,
it pleases your aesthetic sense
and satisfies any creative urge
you might have. I know one
Senior who has not one note to
show for' his four years here,
but has developed into a fine
cartoonist.
Spring has come to Fairfield
and with Spring has come the
natural tendency not to pay attention
in the classroom.· This
is a chronic condition with some
students, but with the vast majority
it is merely seasonal. At
any rate it is a pleasant pursuit
and should be cultivated. How
to achieve inattention without
being caught is a poser. As a
public service, this writer will
present several rules of technique
which have been timetested
and proven in the hope
that even more students will be
able to avoid the onerous task
of giving a professor one's undivided
attention.
RULE I. Note whether the
professor is one who calls only
on those who do not raise their
hands. If he is, then keep your
hand perpetually in the air.
Otherwise, keep them on your
desk.
RULE II. Stare directly at the
instructor. Occasionally make a
grimace with your face as if
you were confused on a point.
At other times, smile gently, as
if a great knowledge had come
to you. Sometimes scratch your
head. Other times lean foreward.
Once in a while frown.

June 12
Newly-elected Officers of the Business Club

by all.
Mr. J. H. Crawford, present
sales consultant and assistant
manager of marketing at General

Mester, Recording Secretary,
David Murphy, Corresponding
Secretary, David Mullins, Treasurer,

Valley Club
At it's March 26 meeting at
the City Hall in Ansonia, the
Valley club voted to establish
two scholarships of $250 each
for the school year of 51-52.
Thus the club becomes the first
in the school to be ready to give
the school a sum of $500 in
scholarship.
Although in comparison to the
other known clubs this may not
seem too significant to many in
the school, the fact that the
Valley Club has only a membership
of 25 men, shows this to be
quite an accomplishment.
Along with the Scholarship
fund, the club has also made
plans for a communion break-I jf===========================;-I

The words which we use in
our daily conversation are merely
the tools, as it were, with
which we express our thoughts,
feelings, joys and sorrows. Any
combination of words may mean
different things to different individuals
or groups. Generally,
we mortals tend to associate
slogans, titles, and the like with
happenings in our own lives,
attaining a connotation which
would seem strange to an outsider.
Well, to the students of
St. Vincent's, "Sunday Dinner"
and "chicken" are synonymous.
Sunday, a day of rest for most
people, begins for St. Vincent's
with Mass, at an hour in the
morning· which is probably foreign
to most Fairfielders. After ~
a quick breakfast, the girls set- ~
tle down to a hard days work. :':
This first day of the week harbors
a special treat for these

could read the thought's of many
of the girls, we would find that
they were all thinking of one
thing, "Will there be enough
left when I get there?"
