Stag - Vol. 02, No. 14 - May 10, 1951

              STAG Vol. II-No. 14 Published By Students Of Fairfield University May 10, 1951
Announcement has been
made of speakers selected for
the Commencement Exer­cises.
The following men have.
been chosen for the honor:
Salutatorian will be John
M. Heckler. and William T.
Heagney will be Valedic­torian.
Edward F. Wall has been
appointed Alternate Speaker.
The committee will provide re­freshments
for the dancing
couples, and these will be served,
free of charge, during the main
intermission. All tipping and
other extra charges will be as­sumed
by the committee, and
no corsages will be permitted,
according to Mike Russo, Chair­man
of the Dance Committee.
The committee, headed by
Russo, is composed of Paul Mc­Carthy,
Bill Curnin, Joseph La­Bash,
Walt McVety, D a v e
Phelan, Ed Pierce, Jack Byrne,
Robert Demshak, William Ken­nally,
William Prendergast, and
John Welch. The last five men
are Freshmen. Hosts and Host­esses
for the dance will be Dr.
and Mrs. John A. Barone, Mr.
and Mrs. Mario F. Guarcello,
and Mr. and Mrs. Chester J.
Stuart.
Bids will be on sale today and
Tomorrow in the cafeteria and
may also be obtained from any
member of the committee.
The annual Freshman-Sopho­more
Spring Ball will be held
tomorrow evening, May 11, at
Laddin's Terrace on the Post
Road in Stamford, from nine un­til
one. Frank Daly and his Band,
a feature of Laddin's, will pro­vide
the music for the evening.
The site of the Ball is an inno­vation
as far as Fairfield Uni­versity
is concerned, but it has
attained a long standing and
high reputation among the col­lege
set of Southern Connecticut.
The Dance Committee has,
within the last two weeks, con­ducted
a contest for the naming
of the dance and the title,
"Spring Ball" was chosen. This
piece of originality was the effort
of Arthur Sapienza who "won"
a dance bid for his trouble. The
bids themselves are something
of a novelty and were designed
by Bill Casey of the Sophomore
Class, who aided the Committee
in drawing up a floor plan to
help facilitate the sale of tickets
and the arrangement of reserva­tions.
Freshman-Sophomore "Spring Ball"
At Laddin's Terrace Tomorrow Nite
McEnany, Welch, McNally Elected
Presidents; Voting Turnout Good
The election of officers, held last Thursday, mani­fested
a strong interest on the part of the student body.
This interest was evidenced in the class of '52, which
had 169 out of the class total of 203 voting. Unfor­tunately
some of the ballots were found invalid, for the
voter did not follow the directions on the ballot slip.
These directions stated that one should vote in the order
cf his preference for each office. However, in the tabu­lation,
eacb. office was treated individually. If one
voted for one man for president where there were four
men nominated for the office, but voted for all or some
cf the other officers by preferential indication, only that
part of your ballot which did not follow directions was
disqualified.
Standing: McEnany. Doheny; Kneeling: Wakin. Cuomo..
For the office of President and
Vice-President of the Class of
'52, there we 18 votes invali­dated,
15 for Secretary, and 20 for
the office of Treasurer. The office
of Treasurer was the closest in
the Class of '52, with Bob Wakin
winning by 2 votes in the final
count, 77 to Hunts' 75. Joe Cuo­mo
beat Fred Roback in the race
for Vice President 78 to 73 on

Senior Ball Announcement
At the last Senior class
meeting, it was announced
that formal invitations would
be sent to the guests of all
Senior class members.
The Senior Ball Commit­tee
is attempting to make
this occasion a memorable
event. The names of the
guests' will be taken on May
15, 1951. All Seniors will be
asked to submit the names of
their guests in the main office,
where a box will be made
available for this purpose.
The success of this plan will
depend entirely upon the co­operation
of the Senior class.
We ask that everyone do his
best to submit the names at
this time, and in so doing in­sure
the success of the first
Commencement Ball.
Glee Club Guests
At Waldorf Concert
Twenty-one seniors who ma­jored
in math honored Father
John P. Murray, S.J., and Mr.
John A. Dillon, Jr., at an in­formal
dinner last Tuesday
night.
The affair was held at Rudy's
restaurant in the Marine Room
where the hosts presented a gift
to Father Murray who had these
students for four consecutive
years; an unusual occurrence in
Fairfield University. A gift was
also presented to Mr. Dillon who
is leaving Fairfield at the end
of this year to complete his doc­torate
research at Brown.
Albert S. Tackas introduced
the speakers who were Father
John P. Murray, S.J., Mr. John
A. Dillon, Jr., and Father Robert
B. MacDonnell, S.J. A brief talk
was given by each speaker.
One thousand music lovers at­tended
the joint concert present­ed
by the glee clubs of Fairfield
University, College of New Ro­chelle
and Providence College at
the Waldorf Astoria on Sunday,
April 29.
Opening the concert with a
group of organ selections, Rudy
J. Ross created an atmosphere
that put the audience into the
mood of receiving the following
program with increasing antici­pation.
Providence College Glee Club,
under the direction of Reverend
Leo S. Cannon, O.P., sang three
songs: Omnipotence, by Schu­bert,
Visions by Spoberg-Balogh,
and the Desert Song by Sigmund
Romberg: Then, the College of
New Rochelle, directed by F.
Colwell Conklin, sang their
Alma Mater. Let There Be Mu­sic,
by Frances Williams, Ave
Maria by Gaston Dethier, 0
Dearest One by R. Schumann ­N.
Cain, and Hallelujah, Amen
from Oratorio by G. Handel and
arranged by Shand, were re­ceived'by
the audience with ear
ringing applause.
Fairfield University Glee Club,
directed by Mr. Simon Harak
changed the tone of the concert
with the following numQers:

Amateur Night
Reveals Hidden
Student Talent
On Thursday, April 26, the
Sophomore Class presented an
entertainment which will go
down in the history of the class
as one of the most "different"
shows which has ever been
staged at Fairfield. The base for
the show was the three act
comedy, "The Barber of p'a- ...------------....
lermo," written and directed by
Rudy Girandola. Neatly sand­wiched
into the action were a
number of top-flight and enter­taining
acts, and all the back­ground
music was handled by
members of the Glee Club. Rudy
Ross assisted the singers with
his piano accompaniments.
All of the characters in the
comedy filled their parts well,
and it might be noted that Bob
Murphy was particularly fasci­nating
as the heroine, Maria.
Clem Naples, Art Sapienza, John
Bigley, Julius DeNitto, Roy Er­vin,
and Jim Farnum all handled
their assignments easily.

Rings Blessed After
Communion Breakfast
The final lecture in a series of pre-induction con­ferences
being held at Fairfield University will be tha:
of the Reverend Edmund J. Hogan, student counsellor
of Fairfield University. In the first lecture of the
series the Reverend Thomas
Shanahan, a former Lieutenant
Colonel in the United States
Army, outlined the various func­tions
of a chaplain in the armed
forces. The chaplain, who can
be either Catholic or Protestant,
has two important obligations to
the men under his jurisdiction:
he must provide the men with
the religious service to which
they are accustomed, or he must
provide transportation to such
a service if it is within a reason­able
distance from the post.
Father Shanahan stressed the
fact that a Catholic should show
the same respect to any chap­lain
of any faith; he should at
least show sufficient friendliness
and express gratification. One
should always remember that a
chaplain's duty is to be a friend
and counsellor to the soldiers
and above all that, in the case
of a Catholic chaplain, he admin­isters
the sacraments. Since they
are educated and we are aspir­ing
college students, we have
much in common intellectually.
A chaplain considers each sold­ier
not as a man of lower rank,
but as a fellow Christian. There
are many advantages to a young
man in having the friendship of
a chaplain: the chaplain can in­struct
the man in personal prob-

On Sunday, April 29, the Jun­ior
Class held their Communion
Breakfast. After the celebration
of the Holy Mass by Father
Langguth and the blessing of
the class rings, breakfast was
served in Berchmans Hall. The
Junior Class was well represent­ed
by about ninety of its mem­bers.
Considering the distance
that many of them had to travel
in order to attend, this could be
called an excellent representa­tion.
The committee in charge of
this affair under the chairman­ship
of Edward Kelley, should
be congratulated. They did a re­markable
piece of work in at­tending
to all of the arrange­ments.
As a result, everything
went ahead smoothly.
After all appetites were satis­fied
by a good typical American
breakfast of coffee, ham and
eggs, the guest speaker, Mr. Mul­ligan
delivered an interesting
speech on Catholic action and the
need for good Catholics through­out
this country. Mr. Mulligan
is the Supreme Director of the
Fourth Degree, Knight of Colum-

Music By Watstein At Prom Draws
Junior Week To A Successful End
Approximately 120 couples danced to the mellow
music of Morris Watstein and his or-ehe'stra as the
Junior Prom formally terminated Junior Week activi­ties
at Actors' Colony Inn in Derby last Friday, May 4.
Though attendance was not
what had been expected, the
evening was one of the most
socially successful events yet
staged at Fairfield University.
Watstein, previously unknown to
Fairfield stUdents, assured fu­ture
demands for his services as
he played consistently danceable
music throughout the evening.
Comments such as "Excel­lent,"
"Better than a name
band," "Most danceable music
heard at any prom," were heard
time and again by those in at­tendance.
Favors were presented by the
committee to each young lady
as she entered the Inn. These
favors were small stuffed dogs
with "Fairfield University Jun­ior
Prom" stitched to their
sides.
Though refreshments were not
served, soft drinks were avail­able
if desired.
Conrad Sternchak, a member
of the Glee Club, presented two
selections as he appeared as
"guest soloist" with Watstein's
orchestra. Sternchak has been
heard previously at university
proms.
James Long was the Chairman
of the event.

our relations, our countrymen, would donate their blood
to replace that which we had lost? Would we not be
disheartened, in fact disgusted, if we were told the
people of America would not supply this vitally needed
blood?
In our colonial days, the American Indians were
amazed at the white man; for he demanded pay to fight
in defense of his land. One wonders how these Indians
would react today if they could hear individuals state
that they see no sense in donating blood when they are
able to sell it to hospitals for thirty dollars a pint.
Would it not be appropriate if they were paid in silver
dollars?
Young men of America are making tremendous
sacrifices on the field of battle. We, also young men of
America, have been exempted from this burden of
bearing arms; in return we are asked to make almost
neglIgible sacrifices. We have a duty, as citizens and
as Christians, to make these sacrifices and to fulfill our
obligations.
Let us remember that the Red Cross does not need
blood, the government does not need blood, but our
friends, our relations, our neighbors in Korea do need
it, and need it desperately!

"Insure with Joy"
By FRANCIS G. PHILBIN, '52
Mendelssohn's nature which craves variety. If
the blasted thing would set in
the morning we could all go to
bed and stay out of trouble. It
comes up from the water as if
it had been bathing all night,
and has a clean lustrous sheen to
it. The brilliant, yellow light
breaks through the haze over
the water causing all sorts of
sparkling light patterns on the
ever-moving sound. The green
blue of the water separates from
the paler blue of the sky as the
warm light makes clear the line
of division On land, the trees
and vegetation look a more bril­liant
green, sparkling as they
are with droplets of dew. The
dirty, little animals, start stirring
in the thicket (Whatever that
is). As the sun moves higher in
the heaven, Fairfield students,
heirs of Pan, playing flutes and
lutes with laurel wreathes
around their aching heads, dance
gaily up North Benson Road
throwing kisses to the flowers.

a) What fool would get up that
early?
b) Even if you did get up,
here in Fairfield, it does not rise
over the sound.
If it did, though, I bet it would

Editor's Note: An article pub­lished

which was submitted to
the STAG as an answer to "A

opinion of the Editors that the
reply is complete, well-mannered
and appropriate. It is well worth
