Prominent Musician Composes Fairfield's
Alma Mater; Lyric Committee Organized
Fairfield University has received the music for its
Alma Mater, composed by Alphonso D'Artega of

Rector Addresses Student Council,
Urges Cooperation And Sincerity
Mr. Steinkraus came to Bridge­port
in 1928 from Cleveland,
Ohio where for four years he
owned his own metal and chem­ical
business. In 1942 he was
elected president of the Brass
Company. In 1946 he was again
elected president and chairman
of the board of directors. Under
his management, Bridgeport
Brass has become one of the
largest brass manufacturing
companies in the country and
has a national reputation for its
successful labor-management re­lations.
In addition to his re­markable
achievements with the
Brass Company, Mr. Steinkraus
has become a national authority
on labor and management. He
has served on a number of na­tional
committees, such as Presi­dent
Truman's Labor-Manage­ment
Committee in 1945 and as
advisor to the U.S. Conciliation
Service in 1946. He became a
director of the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce in 1944 and was elect­ed
president of the National
Chamber of Commerce for 1949­1950.
Mr. Steinkraus was also
the first Chairman of the Board
and co-founder of the Connecti­cut
Symphony Orchestra, and
was the founder of the annual
Barnum Festival of Bridgeport.

On Wednesday evenmg, No­vember
14th, Berchmans Hall
will be the scene of an "Evening
at the Manor," sponsored by the
"Manor" of 1952,
The dance is being staged to
add to the money which the Sen­ior
Class hopes to realize from
the Magazine Drive and to help
defray some of the expenses the
class is meeting in the produc­tion
of its classbook. All mem­bers
of the school and in particu­lar
the members of the Senior
Class are urged to support this
dance by their attendance.
The committee, which is com­prised
of the Senior Class officers
and the members of the "Man­or"
staff, is under the general
chairmanship of Senior Class
Vice-President Joseph Cuomo.
Cuomo has announced that in
order to get as many students
as possible to attend the dance,
the price of admission has been
set at $1.00 per couple. The dance
will be informal and the proper

Business Club To Hear Steinkraus,
Bridgeport Brass President.. Nov. 20 ~ ,
The Business Club of Fairfield Universi,ty will hold
its second business luncheon of the 1951-1952 season
Tuesday, November 20th, at 6:30 p.m., in the Siratfield
Hotel. The guest speaker of the evening will be Herman
W. Steinkraus, president of the Bridgeport Brass Com­pany.
Some of the students will remember Mr. Stein­kraus
as a Bellarmine Lecturer in 1949 when he spoke
to the student body on labor mana1gement relations.
Mr. Steinkraus has also addressed the Institute of Indus­trial
Relations, Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass.
According to Reverend John
P. Murray, S.J., Moderator of the
Glee Club, a committee consist­ing
of George Thomas, John
Walsh, James Farnum, Francis
Philbin, Francis Woods, Marsh­all
Bridgewater, and Charles
Black has been organized to de­termine
the theme of the Alma
Mater and to submit lyrics for
the music.
The committee is assisted by
Reverend Joseph S. Scannell,
S.J., who is extremely enthus­iastic
and pleased with the mel­ody.
Father also urged any other
student interested in helping the
committee write the lyrics to
contact him immediately.
Francis Philbin, a member of
the Lyrics Committee, said,
"This song has tremendous pos­sibilities
for it is not only beau­tiful,
it is also original. It is
not an imitation of any other
Alma Mater, but certainly has
the possibility of becoming as
famous and as well-known as
any other school song known and
sung throughout the country to­day."

musician who is prominently
recognized by the outstanding
musicians of our country. He is

Sixty-three per cent of the
339,000 students who took the
Selective Service College Quali­fication
Tests last Spring and
Summer made a score of 70 or
better, Major General Lewis B.
Hershey, Director of Selective
Service, reported. He also re­minded
college students that the
deadline for submitting applica­tions
for the December 13, 1951
was November 5, 1951. He said
a further breakdown of the re­sults
of the former test would be
available within a: short time.
The new series of tests will
be given Thursday, December 13,
1951, and Thursday, April 24,
1952, by the·Educational Testing
Service of Princeton, New Jer­~
ey, at more than 1,000 different
centers throughout the United
States and its territories. The
blanks may be obtained by the
registrant at any local board
office.
Stresses Importance
General Hershey stressed the
importance of all eligible stu­dents
taking the test, and indi­cated
that those who do not have
test score results in their cover
sheets may have a "very difficult
time indeed" in convincing their
local boards that they should be
deferred as students.
Application blanks for the De­cember
13, 1951 test had to be
postmarked not later than mid­night,

Date For Student
Blood Donations
Changed To Dec. 6
Since the Fairfield chapter of
the American Red Cross could
not allot time for all the students
who volunteered to donate their
blood on November 6, the new
date for the Student Blood Don­or
Day has been advanced to
December 6. Those students who
offered their blood but were not
given appointments will be ac­cepted
on that day.
Peter LaChance, President of
the College Unit, expressed his
regrets concerning the confus­ion,
but hoped that it would not
cause too much trouble for the
volunteer donors.
Future Policy
Henceforth the policy of the
College Unit will be to endeavor
to fill one hour during each blood
drive, in which hour Fairfield
students could donate their
blood. The Fairfield chapter will
inform the College Unit at least
one month in advance as to what
the date and the hour for these
donations should be. The hour

In comparing the degrees of
leadership and initiative, Father
FitzGerald pointed out that this
University, too, is a dedication
to service and, as such, it be­comes
impossible for student
government to ever clash with
educational authority since both
have the desire for cooperation,
unity, and well being of the com­mon
good. At an address to the
faculty this spirit of harmony
was expressed vividly as the
new rector said, "Consider your
position as a stewardship, a
sacred trust, which in turn im­plies
a sharing of responsibili­ties."
While viewing the impressive
gathering of class representa­tives,
Father FitzGerald exem­plified
his confidence in youth by
diverting for an instant to the
year 1939. "Here," he said, "were
unmistakable signs of lamenting
and fear of the years ahead. Here
youths had to acquit themselves
for war rather than peace. Those
young men were called upon to
defend the principles of Demo­cracy
and they accomplished that
task magnificently. That genera­tion
went back to college and
began to renew the happy ex­perience
of peace. Now, after
only a short while, we, of the
older generation, are calling
once more upon that same youth
for military service and," he
said, "I am sure you will again
acquit yourselves well."
As Father FitzGerald spoke to
the Council he stressed the fact
that here would be the "mould­ing
block" for cooperation. He
asserted that in the world there
are many opposed to the ideals
(Cominued on Page 3)
"Believe it or not I have confidence in youth." With
this simple phrase Reverend Joseph D. FitzGerald, S.J.,
recently appointed Rector of Fairfield University, very
completely gave his answer to what the future holds for
America. In addressing the entire Student Council of
1951, Father FitzGerald brought out plainly the need
for co-operation and sincerity in. performance of Demo­cratic
principles. He stated, "We are only a little
twinkle in the educational firmament," and growing out
of this system we find the Student Council, a small com­mission
and an assignment to service, which realizes it
has a duty not toward personal interests but for the
common good.

This historical background of
this situation begins with the in­stitution
of the Chair of Mediae­val
Philosophy in the early four­ties,
when it was shown that the
philosophy of the 13th century
was missing from the curriculum
and that students at Yale did
not enjoy a completeness in the
Philosophy department. At that
time, the officials of the Univer­sity
attempted to get Etianne
Gilson from the Institute of Me­diaeval
Studies at the University
of Toronto, but due to previous
commitments he was unable to
come. Nor were they able to set
to get Anton Pegis, the editor
of the textbook used by Fr.
Murray. It was then that Mr.
Blanshard, head of the depart­ment,
brought to Yale Mr. Ro­bert
Walton whom we all know
for one of his lectures here at
Fairfield in the Bellarmine series.
Mr. Walton resigned this chair
prior to the 1951 scholastic year
and thus the university found it­self
in the same position of 1940.
It was upon the suggegtion of
several members of the Depart­ment
that Fr. Murray be asked
to accept the position, as he was
well known at Yale because of
his previous lectures at the Law
School a number of times.
With the approval of his re­ligious
superiors, Fr. Murray ac­cepted
this unique position and
came to Yale.
Prior to his seventeen years at
Woodstock College at Professor
of Theology, Fr. Murray spent
much of his time both here in
New England and abroad in
Rome acquiring degrees. A New
Yorker by birth, he studied at
both Weston College and Boston
College where he received his
B.A. and M.A. degrees. Then aft­er
five years of study at the Gre­gorian
University in Rome, Italy,
he achieved his doctorate in Sac­red
Theology. He is also the re­ciepient
of an honorary Ph.D.
from the University of Notre
Dame.
So, with this strong fortifica­tion
as background, Fr. John
Courtney Murray sets about the
task of turning the pages of Phil­osophical
History back to the
13th century so that Yalemen
may now join with others who
have read, studied, and under­stood
the brilliant writings of the
"Man from Acquinas."
Said Fr. Murray, in conclusion:
"I am very happy to be back in
a corner of New England where
I spent three very happy years."

is the room number of the new
professor of mediaeval philoso­phy
and culture at Yale Univer­sity.
A Jesuit priest fresh from
seventeen years at Woodstock
College in Maryland as professor
of Theology-Rev. John Court­ney
Murray, S.J.
Fr. Murray, the only priest
teaching scholastic Philosophy at
a secular institution in the Unit­ed
States, accepted this unique
position for a twofold reason,
namely to bring to these Yale­men
the teachings of St. Thomas
Aquinas and secondly, to teach
the major problems of church
and state on which he is an em­inent
authority.
In bringing to the undergradu­ate
school students the teachings
of st. Thomas, Fr. Murray is
working from the "Basic Writ­ings
of St. Thomas Aquinas" as
edited by Pegis and is handling
the treatises on Man and Law.
He entitles it-"The Man, The
Age, and The Book." By his
handling of the basic problems
of anthropology, the unity of
man, the nature of human un­derstanding
and love, Fr. Murray
is attempting to show that the
light struck by Thomas in the
13th century is still burning
brightly today. He is showing
that the problems and solutions
are the same, only the situations
have changed in seven centuries.
To date, forty students have
enrolled to hear Fr. Murray lec­ture
twice a week and join with
him in one open discussion per­iod
about this man-Thomas of
Aquinas.
To -his students in the gradu­ate
school, Fr. Murray really
breaks into his field of concen­tration,
as he is working on the
Political Philosophy of the Me­diaeval
Age with references to
the major problems of Church
and State controversy. His em­inence
on this subject has been
shown time and time again by
articles in the Ecclestical Re­view,
and at present he is
engaged in a friendly controver­sy
over his stand, with Fr. Con­nell
of the Congregation of the
Holy Redeemer, who lectures at
Catholic University in Washing­ton,
D.C.

Many important factors are to

be: how to hold an interview,

01 the rebuttal from Yale, as
would be true of any other secu­lar
universitv under fire, consists
not in denying that religion is
ridiculed, morality scoffed at,
God ignored if not flouted-but
in saying, rather, what of it?
What concern is this of a uni­versity?
Why should Yale care
how God is treated by her pro­fessors,
or how shameless and
dishonest they are in undermin­ing
the faith of her students, or
how unscholarly they are in us­ing
blasphemy and abuse of sac­red
thing as bait to amuse their
classes."
"The students who go to Yale,"
concluded Father Langguth, "to­gether
with hundreds of other
similar institutions, go there un­der
the impression that it is a
Christian institution. Its motto
clearly reflects belief in the God
of the Christians, yet it allows
its professors to reject the light
of God and to deny the existence
of his truth. Harvard, likewise,
had an explicit statement of
faith in her device "For Christ
and the Church." How it has
been discretely lost; it no longer
appears on its publications or
letter-head, and stands only as
an anachronism on some of the
ornamental gates and architec­tural
gingerbread around the
Harvard Yard. Anyone of the
secular universities would have
abundant warrant for being un­compromisingly
Christian if it
wanted to be."
God and Man in The
Universities"
This was the subject for dis­cussion
heard by radio listeners
Qf "Fairfield University Inter­prets
the News" on Monday, No­vember
6th.
In opening the discussion, the
Rev. Laurence C. Langguth, S.J.,
Dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences here at Fairfield Uni­versity,
declared: "I certainly
am in favor of academic freedom,
but in the right kind of academic
freedom. As long as a professor
follows the discipline and meth­ods
of his particular science or
art or form of culture, he should
not be restrained in his search
for knowIp'ige or in teaching
truth. But this does not mean
that the profe SOl' has a right
to substitllte his theories for
facts. To do this would be an
abuse of fl"eedom."
"The classroom should not be
used for t'1e purposes of propa­ganda,"
hf continued. Civil free­dom
does not allow me to steal,
or to murder, or to commit any
other crimes against God or so­ciety.
In the same way academic
freedom does not give me the
right or license to be a propa­gandist
for falsehood, to attack
God and His law, to ridicule the
moral code, deliberately to un­dermine
the faith of the stu­dents
wh" are compelled to lis­ten
to me."
Dealing with "God and Man
at Yale," a recent book written
by William F. Buckley, Jr., Yale
Class of '50, Father Langguth
stated: "Buckley seems to favor
a completely individualistic form
of society, in which government
has almost vanishing powers and
industrialists can fight out their
survival with no holds barred.
That is quite a variance with

1951. Applications for the April
24, 1952 test must be postmarked
not later than midnight, March
10, 1952.
To be eligible to apply for the
test, General Hershey pointed
out, a student must:
(1) Intend to request defer­ment
as a student; (2) be satis­Ifactorily
pursuing a full-time
college course; (3) must not pre­viously
have taken a Selective
Service Qualification Test.
Students whose academic year
will end in January 1952,' Gen­eral
Hershey said, are urged to
apply for the December 13,.1951
I test, so they will have scores in
their files when the local boards
reconsider their cases in Jan­uary.
The Congress, in the 1951
Amendments to the Universal
Military Training and Service
Act, declared that adequate pro­vision
for national security re­quires
maximum effort in the
fields of scientific research and
developm~ntand the fullest pos­sible
utilization of the Nation's
intellectual resources; it author­ized
the President to provide for
the deferment of any or all cate­gories
of persons whose activity
in study is found to be necessary
to the maintenance of the na­tional
health, safety or interest.
Criteria For Deferment
The criteria for deferment as
a student is either a satisfactory
score 70) on the Selective Ser­vice
College Qualification Test
or satisfactory rank in class (up­per
half of the freshman class,
upper two thirds of the sopho­more
class, upper three fourths
of the junior class). Seniors ac­cepted
for admission to a gradu­ate
school satisfy the criteria if
they stand in the upper half of
their classes, or make a score
of 75 or better on the test. Stu­dents
already enrolled in grad­uate
schools may be deferred so
long as they remain in good
standing. These criteria are
guides and the local boards are
not bound to follow them.
General Hershey remarked
that when the Selective Service
college deferment plan was first
announced last Spring objection
was heard that the plan gave
preferred treatment to the com­paratively
sma 11 number of
"bright boys" who could afford
to go to college. He said he be­lieved
that virtually all of the
opposition on this ground has
been dissipated, since there is
now a general understanding of
the fact that the purpose of the
plan is to select those most fitted
to pursue college educations and
that a large proportion of col­lege
students are "working their
way through college," either
partly or wholly. He cited a re­cent
survey made by the United
States Office of Education which
showed that fewer than 25 per
cent of college students are sole­ly
dependent upon their parents.
Long-Range Planning
"We are faced with an emer­gency
that many experts predict
will last perhaps 10 to 20 years,"
General Hershey said. "We must,
therefore, think in long-range
terms, in developing plans to
provide an adequate supply of
highly skilled manpower. I be­lieve
the country is aware that
it is logical, in deferring students
in the national interest, to defer
those with demonstrated ability,.
instead of gambling on those
with lower capacity."
General Hershey explained
that the intent of Congress was
that these students should be de­ferred
only until they have com­pleted
their college training.
and can be assured of success this
year. "Fairfield Interprets the
News" will continue this year as
usual, Monday evenings at 8:00
o'clock, W.I.C.C. On November
5, Rev. Lawrence C. Langguth,
S.J., Dean of Fairfield Univer­sity,
appeared on the program
and discuss the timely topic
"God and Man in the Universit­ies."
The student panelists were
William Buchtmann, '52, ma­jor
in government, William Whe­lan,
'53, major in education, and
Allen Jansen, '54.
Last February, the club elected
officers and drew up a constitu­tion
which stated the aims of
such an organization, namely, to
afford opportunity to cultivate
speech and radio presence and
to spread the fruits of education
and culture through the medium
of radio. Robert Hayden was
elected chair~an, Emanuel On­deck,
recording secretary, Eu­gene
Magner, corresponding sec­retary
and Charles McCullough,
Publicity representative. The
club, which has received in pre­vious
years notices of commen­dation
from "America" and "The
Catholic Broadcasters Associa­tion,"
hopes to redouble its pre­vious
achievements.
At its weekly meeting, Octo­ber
30, the Radio Club heard
the third in a series of speeches
dealing with the various aspects
of radio broadcasting technique.
Eugene Magner discussed the
problems of the director in "Di­recting-
The Radio Play and the
Actor." Other topics presented
and prepared by the student
members in previous weeks were
"The '1' e c h n i que of Sports
Broadcasting" by Emanuel On­deck,
'53 and "The Technique of
Methods of Ad Lib Broadcast­ing"
by Casper Burke, '52. The
club intends to continue these
weekly discussions in an effort
to stimulate a greater knowledge
of radio procedure and method.
The director of the club is John
A. Meaney, Assistant Professor
of English.
The club is at present working
on a Christmas script, a transla­tion
of a Welsh play, which is
yet untitled. Also on the agenda
are the Lenten series of pro­grams
entitled "'1' h e Living
God," based on a French radio
script written by Cita and Suz­anne
Malard. It was successfully
presented two years ago by the
club in conjunction with the Na­tional
Council of Catholic Men,

lack of experi~nce, a factor that
marked the Rams' style of play.
One of the more notable features
of the Red Stags play was their
pressing defense that worked
with effectiveness against the
host Jesuit school.
Poor passing and off balance
shots plagued the offense of both
schools. From the foul line, the
Stags showed a definite im­provement
in a department that
has oftentimes spelled defeat.
In all, Hanrahan was well
pleased with the performance of
his squad, and he felt confident
that the mistakes would be
ironed out before the opening

Intent on bettering last year's 16 won, 11 lost

squad is rapidly rounding into shape under the watch·

year's club returning, and with several outstanding
freshmen prospects on the team, this year's club shapes
up as the best one in the school's four years of court
competition.
Coach Hanrahan has such re­turning

Joe Kehoe, Fairfield's all-time

Last night at Berchmans Hall,
the Athletic Association held
their second annual Father and

as the chairman. A large
crowd was in attendance and
they were well entertained by a
very interesting and diversified
program. Bernie Beglane was
master of ceremonies.
The principal speaker was Ed
Danowski, the head football
coach at Fordham University.
Other guests of honor were Jim
Hanrahan, varsity basketball
coach at Fairfield, Fella Gintoff
and Joe Yabrowski, head ·foot­ball
coach of the Prep and var­sity
baseball college of the Uni­versity
respectively.
Also on th program was the
distribution of awards to the
men who competed on the var­sity
sports squads, and a film on
sports entitled "Highlights of the
1950-51 Sports Season at Madi­son
Square Garden."
Finally, Fr. Lyons, the new
Athletic Director of the school,
spoke to the audience and asked
their support for the coming
year. After all the entertainment,
refreshments were served.

athletic director, this past week.
E. K. Owen, track coach of New
Britain State Teachers College,
has formulated plans to have an
annual small college track and
field meet for the schools of Con­necticut.
It would be held on the
third Saturday of May, and some
of the schools included in such
a program would be Arnold,
Bridgeport, and New Haven
State Teachers. Such an idea met
with the approval of Father Ly­ons.
It would be a very interest­ing
program, and it would be a
very good title for any of the
five schools to capture. More
about this when the full details
are available.

A word of oraise is due to our
school's cross ·country squad. Aft­er
some very trying conditions,
under the direction of Father
Lyons, they finally managed to
get enough men out to form a
team, and although they lost the
opening meet last week, their
fine spirit will certainly payoff
in the remaining dual meets of
the season. Good luck, boys.

Cage Schedule Released;
Homecoming Night Is Set
With the release of the school's
varsiity basket­ball
schedule,
now is as good
a time as any to
go out on the
proverbial limb
and predict the
team's success.
For those of
you who re­member,
1 a s t
season I stated
that the team would win 14 of
the 25 contests waged. Actually
they won 15, so with a pretty
good showing holding over from
last season, I call for a "12 won
and eight lost" record for the
charges of Jim Hanrahan.
Who will they lose to? The
seven opponents are Rider Col­lege,
St. Francis of Pennsylva­nia,
Iona College, Providence
College twice, Boston College,
St. Francis of Brooklyn, and the
New York Athletic Club.
. What kind of pronosticator are
you? Look over the schedule
that appears elsewhere on this
page and make your own pre­dictions.
I will be glad to wel­come
any comments.
Those of you who have been
wondering how the Frybgh­wocms
selected such a name for
a team in the Intra-mural Foot­ball

simple. Each letter stands for the
name of the home town of the
individual players on the squad.

Bridgeport Club
During its first semi-monthly
meeting on October 15, the
Bridgeport Area Club decided to
sponsor a dance, and selected No­vember
23 as a tentative date for
the affair.
Maurice Fenton was appointed
chairman of the event. He and
his committee will decide on the
orchestra to be hired for the
dance, and will select the site
where it will be held.
Other plans were also discus­sed
at the meeting. Bronislaw
Orlowski, recreational chairman,
announced that plans were being
initiated for intra club athletic
competition. Basketball and
bowling teams are to be formed,
and the best men from each
league will be chosen to repre­sent
the Bridgeport Club in any
inter club competition.
Also discussed at the meeting
were the plans to attain ade­quate
facilities for swimming. If
this plan is successful, the fa­cilities
would be accessible to all
students.
Sport films will be featured at
the next meeting, the date of
which will be announced in the,
future.
Knights Of Xavier
To Be Reorganized
Announcement has been
made that plans are now be­ing
formulated for the reor­ganization
of the Knights of
Xavier, Fairfield University's
memorable social society. Last
year due to conflict with other
organizations regarding scope
of activities, the Knights sus­pended
meetings. However,
present plans are intended to
rectify any overlapping and
once again to place the
Knights as the number one
social activity at Fairfield.
In the past, the Xavier men,
with Rev. James Walsh, S.J.,
as moderator, have sponsored
many social events. The most
successful being the annual
Father and Sons night, which
is designed to close the gap
between home and campus by
bringing fathers, sons, and
faculty together informally.

Haven' Club
The New Haven Club held a
special meeting on Halloween
evening, October 31. Though the
meeting was primarily arranged
as a social so that all members
could get together informally,
there was a brief business meet­ing
preceding the event.
At this business meeting sev­eral
forthcoming events were
discussed and voted upon. Two
of these events are social affairs.
One of these shall take place
during the Thanksgiving vaca­tion
and a committee headed by
John Boyle and Donald Hoefler
was appointed to make further
plans. The other soeial event will
be a New Year's Eve ·party. A
committee headed by Thomas
Loricco and comprised of Wil­liam
Mahan, Donald Hoefler,
James Dinnan, Albert Annunzi­ato
and John Vitale was appoint­ed
to investigate the selection of
a suitable place to hold the affair
and other necessary arrange­ments.
During the Christmas vacation
the club will sponsor what it
believes the first of any such
event run by any of the area
clubs. Under the chairmanship
of Thomas Vitelli, the club will
spend one Sunday afternoon vis­iting
the residents of St. An­drews
Home for the Aged, which
is run by the Little Sisters of the
Poor. The Club will converse
with the old folks and provide
some entertainment which will
be highlighted by the appearance
of Santa Claus and the distribu­tion
of gift packages to the old
people and the nuns. The pack­ages
will consist of smoking to­bacco,
cigarettes, candy, wine,
and other useful gifts to make
the lives of these old people
brighter.

I can see a patient instructor
trying to explain a simple and
obvious concept to some sweet
young thing who came to college
to get a man, not an education,
while the rest of the class drum
their fingers and repress a desire
to wrench her neck a couple of
turns. We might as well face it,
while all women are not idiots,
all idiots are women. I happen
to be one of those who love that
idiocy but, it is just as well it
were reserved for the home and
social affairs. Women are insidi­ous
anyhow, they would tend to
destroy the cohesive unity of the
student body. What does a girl
want with a college education? I
think that from an aesthetic
point of view, there is nothing
more repulsive than a female
nuclear physicist, or even a wo­man
physician. Think it over
yourself; if Madame Curie, for
whom as a scientist, I have no­thing
but respect, were around
and available, would you like to
date her?
All this being as it is I'll prob­ably
go on dreaming about Fair­field
as a co-ed school-at least
I hope I will.

The purpose of this club is to
further interest and knowledge

The club will work in conjunc­tion
with THE MANOR and THE
STAG when it is effectively or­ganized.
It was decided at the last
meeting that the members would
meet bi-weekly. Nominations for
club officers are being accepted
by the Moderator of the club,
Reverend Gerald F. Hutchinson,
S.J., and elections will be held.
Lectures concerning the var­ious
aspects and difficulties of
photography will be presented
at each meeting. Students inter­ested
in photography are invited
to attend. .

the well-known "In the Blue of
the Evening." During the Bac­calaureate
ceremonies last June
Senior Edward Caldwell sang
another of Mr. D'Artega's com­positions,
"Hail Mary," and the
composer was present for the
ceremony. This was the first
public rendition of the song,
which since has been published.
There is great probability that
if fitting lyrics are written for
the melody, the Fairfield Univer­sity
Alma Mater might be ar­ranged
for orchestral presenta­tion
and recording.

The elections were a success
mainly through the efforts of
Election Commissioner Keegan
and the nl?wly inaugurated Jun­ior
Advisory Board. This year
the Student Council appointed a
Junior Advisory Board to organ­ize
and inform the Freshman
class of the various school activ­ities
and functions, as well as of
the importance of school elec­tions
and student-class partici­pation.
Last year the voting was
so poor that future Council elec­tions
were dreaded.
The Junior Advisory Board
consists of: Tony Giangrasso, Ed­ward
Pierce, Tom Martin, John
Keegan, and Bronislaw Orlowski.
The success of this Board will
probably establish it as a future
"must" in the eyes of all Council
members.

The elections for Freshman­Sophomore
Student Council set
an outstanding precedent for fu­ture
Council elections at Fair­field.
The eight underclassmen
assumed their duties as Council
members for their respective
classes at Tuesday evening's ses­sion.
72% of the Freshman class
voted, constituting 104 votes.
67% of the Sophomore class vot­ed,
with 94 votes.
The election took place on
Tuesday, October 30, from 9:00
a.m. until 3 :00 p.m. The under­classmen
showed extreme inter­est
in the elections, and the re­sults
were very close.
Freshmen elected were: Nor­man
J. Le Blanc, John K. Leon­ard,
Paul T. Tremont, 'and John
R. Whelan. Charles Unstatter,
Jr., had tied for fourth, but
bowed out in favor of Leonard.
