There was a pool of moonlight spilling on the porch
when I reached my blind date's house. "Camillewhat
a beautiful name," I thought as I rang the doorbell.
I striaghtened my bow tie and rubbed my ,Fairfield
ring in joyous anticipation. "Oscar, you dashing
rascal you," I thought, "This is it!"
Finally the door was opened by a burly figure in
cap, motorcycle jacket, and engineering boots. "Pardon
me, Buddy," I said. "Is-Camille home?"
The figure pushed the motorcycle cap back on its
head. "Har! Har! You make big joke, eh? Me Camille.
You Oscar, hah?" She thrust out a huge hand and gave
me a hearty hand shake.
"Oh ... er ... uh .. gulp!" I said, and then
"Aaargh!" as I felt my finger bones crackle.
Camille certainly was affectionate She slapped me
on the back and as I felt my vertebrae crunch I grinned
weakly.
"Well?" I said, gritting my teeth with pain. "Shall
we go?"
'Sure. We take motorcycle?" She pointed to a
shiny black motorcycle with a skull painted on it. "Is
mine. I build myself when I work in garage."
"Er, that's fine," I said. "But I think we'd better
take my car."
_"Okay. Where we go tonight?"
"Well, there's a concert tonight. "
"Har! Har! You make another joke. We go
rasslin' matches? Is good bout tonight. Killer Cosnowski
rassle for middleweight title."
"Well, all right," I said. I was in no mood to argue
with her; she was bigger than I was.
As we climbed into my '27 swept-wing Dodge, I
reconciled myself to a glorious evening, and I wasn't
disappointed. I didn't mind when Camille bought a
six-pack on the way to the Arena, but it was rather
embarrassing when she began throwing the empty beer
cans at the referee. But I was rather proud when she
leaped into the ring and pinned Killer Cosnowski in
two out of three falls. "Me no worry," she said later in
the car, as she buckled her new championship belt
around her motorcycle jacket. "Me strong lak bull."
All the way home she demonstrated her wrestling technique,
particularly the Puerto Rican Devil Back Breaker
and Leg Twister hold, which was her favorite.
"Well, goodnight, Camille," I said, as I limped to
her door. "It's been an evening I'll never forget."
"I got lot more holds I could show you, like South
African Back Cruncher and Slobbovian Toe_Smasher."
"Well, maybe some other time," I said. We shook
hands good night and I ran back to the car.
Well, I see in the paper that Camille has finally
turned professional. Last week she defeated Antonino
Rocca and this week she's wrestling for the Armenian
championship. Boy, it makes a guy feel kind of proud.
But I've got another blind date for this weekend.

satellite countries "will gain
their freedom at the hands of
their peasants," Zsolt Aradi,
Hungarian - born correspondent
and author, declares in an article
in the April issue of The
3!gn, national Catholic magazine
published here.
Writing under the title, "The
Weakening Soviet Empire", Aradi
asserts, "None of the eastern
European countries has
played its last card." 'To date,"
he points out, "the uprisings
have been primarily the work
of the industrial workers and
intelligentsia. Far be it from me
to underrate their courage. The
fact remains that in the long
run, the satellites will gain their
freedom at the hands of their
peasants."
"History shows," Aradi contends,
"that the peasants cannot
be subdued for long. Slow
to move, when roused they are
irresistible for the reason that
they carry the greatest of weapons-
their undying love. for the
soil and their equally undying
faith in God. .

For Whom The Bells Toll
"And the Angelus did ring." But does the Angelus
intone the ringing of the bells throughout the campus.
No, it doesn't. The intent of last year's graduating
class was to add to the spiritual being of Fairfield students.
Yet, their aim has been thwarted; the bells
Japanese opinion toward the
U.S. between the period immediately
following World War
II and the present day. Dr. Battistimi
explained that where as
following the war the Japanese
nation looked to the U.S. for
leadership and guidance it now
looks upon us with suspicion
and mistrust;
The outstanding reason for
this complete reversal in policy
has been the lack of a definite
foreign policy concerning Japan
on the part of the U.S. If we are
to gain their respect and trust
we must replace our "hit and
miss" foreign policy with definite
policies which will demonstrate
to the Japanese people
that we are interested in them

COUNSEL ON CAREERS. I
would like to quote a portion
of that article. "Too often
'career guides' turn out to be
nothing but compilations' of
statistics, starting salaries and
vignettes of college men who
have made their mark selling
insurance, fiberglas and better
plumbing systems. All very
good and stimulating, but not
quite complete. Harvard University's
student newspaper,
the Crimson, publishes a guide
which supplies the other half
of the guidance picture. It contains
personal advice from
eminent men in every field..."
I will try to heed your 'advice
in the subsequent issues
of The Stag by including advice
from eminent men of the
professions.

The Stag Salutes
A Stag Salute, this week, to
David F. Barry, who, with the
publication of this issue, ends
his association with this paper.
Barry, a native of New Haven
and a member of the senior
class, came to Fairfield
from Providence College. His
stay here has been marked by
those two characteristics which
seem to earmark all his activity;
Individualism and Effort.
An Individualist
Barry, the individualist, is
well-known to both the faculty
and the undergraduate body.
Never hampered by convention,
he proceeds blithely along his
way with seemingly impossible
ease and an air of intelligent
indifference.
Barry, the worker, is less
There are times in the story
of the world called history that
stand like prisms, coloring all
that comes after in the diffused
light that had come before. In
our day we see the fruit of the
Communist Revolution standing
before us. Three generations
ago it was that child of the "Enlightment"
that threatened the
peace of the world. It is said
that to understand the "modern
mind" it is essential to know
the nature of these two revolutions;
to know these revolutions
you must know their father:
the religious revolt of the
sixteenth century, called the
"Reformation".
Those who have read "A
I have been asked by many
of my readers to devote my
next column to the opportunities
in the legal profession.
Believe me, the occupation of
the lawyer is one of the most
difficult I have found yet to
discuss in this column.
Before you embark upon
a career in which thousands
of college graduates are now
seeking, you should ask
yourself, "Am I especially
well equipped to push past
these men and make good in
law?" This means, for one
thing, are you able to resist
temptations and keep your
record honest? It also means,
are you aggressive? For in
law there is something of the
fight in which a man must
keep cool, smile calmly, and
deliver telling arguments.
A lawyer is an officer of the
court with both public and
private duties to perform. He
must remain honest with both
the court and his client, and
he must see that -justice is carried
out. In dealing with his
client, he observes strict confidence,
transacts private business,
and never gives away
secrets. He mus: be well qualified
from the standpoint of both
education and law.
Many of the graduates of
law schools engage in general
practice or specialize
in a particular phase of law.
The important branches of
law in which a lawyer may
specialize are numerous. A
corporation lawyer specializes
in the laws that relate
to corp.orations or companies
and represents the corporation
in all all court actions.
A civil lawyer specializes in
disputes, such as damage suits
and breach of contract suits;
prepares and draws up deeds
to property, contracts and
wills; and may act as trustee
or guardian to an estate. A
criminal lawyer takes cases
dealing with offences against
society, theft, murder and
arson, A patent lawyer speci-alizes
in patent law for inventors,
and deals with in-fringements
of patients. A
real estate lawyer conveys
properties from one person
to another and searches records
and deeds in order to
establish titles to property.
A lawyer may also specialize
in counseling or advising out
of court; brief writing; trial
work or conducting cases in
court; or teaching in law
schools.
Many lawyers enter the field
of government. They seek
many elective positions. Most
mayors, governers, j u d g e s,
senators and representatives
have been practicing lawyers
at one time. Many government
a~encies employ lowyers within
the various departments. The
Department of Justice (the
general legal agency of the
E(overnment) employs many '=============================!.!I lawyers. Other agencies which

Glee Club
FR. MURRAY
The growth and fame of the
name of Fairfield University
during the past ten years has
been due largely to the fine
work done by its Glee Club.
Much has been written about
the effort of the students who
have devoted many hours of
practice to the organization but
not quite so much has been
written about the two people
who have been responsible for
the Glee Club's popularity.
The first of these mainstays
has been responsible for conducting
all business affairs of
the club~ arranging the concerts,
managing the transportation of
the club's eigthy-five members
and handling the pre and post
concerts publicity. It seems impossible
that one man could be
responsible for these and other
duties while still maintaining
the position as a college professor
of ·mathematics. One might
say that only a Jesuit could be
successful with such arduous
tasks. This success has been due
to a Jesuit, Reverend John P.
Directors
S.HARAK
Murray, S.J., whom the Glee
Club has been fortunate enough
to have as its moderator.
Father Murray's popularity
among the Glee Club's members
has· been rivaled by only one
other man, Mr. Simon Harak,
the director. To the Glee Club
MI'. Harak has given the benefits
of a life of study in the field
of music, the knowledge of an
accomplished singer, the ability
to train, blend and manipulate
men's voices to the fullest range
of perfection, a congenial and
likeable personality equipped
with a fine sense of humor a
firm and unwavering discipline
which permeates every member,
and zealous inspiration which
motivates the group to its finest
achievements.
Obviously much praise and
many thanks are due both men.
The renowned accomplishments
and ever spreading acclaim of
the "Men In Red" attest to the
success of their dedicated efforts.

Column
By FRANCIS DOHERTY
Have you ever asked yourself,
why did I choose Fairfield University?
I have and I would
like to share my findings with
you.
As you undoubtedly have been
told, a good college education
is not only encouraged but actually
a necessity in this day of
mass-education and its corollary,
education - for - mediocrity. The
ever present danger is that unexperienced
men if not carefully
advised and guided will fall
easy prey to the old argument
that one college is as good as
another. There has never been
a more ridiculous statement
than this, yet, many fail to see
wherein the fallacy lies. If one
school teaches that man is made
in the image and likeness of
God and consequently has worth
because of his dignity while
another avoids the question of
God and teaches that man is an
animal only, obviously, one is
right and the other is wrong.
A thing cannot be and not be
at the same time and in the
same aspect. Therefore, if one
teaches truth and the other error,
they can't possibly be
equally as good.
Having seen how important
it is to choose the college that
will give the truth I think it is
equq}ly important that a man
consider the school that will give
as much individual attention as
possible.
If a man is interested in individual
attention, interested in
a good education and interested
in truth itself he could not possibly
have made a better
choice than Fairfield. It is probably
the most important decision
that he has ever made because
the molding of his mind
and character for life depends
on it.
The average size class at Fairfield
is approximately 30 to 35
students. This means that the individual
is given more personal
attention and individual attention
is invaluable because it
gives the professor a chance to
intimately know the student
and his special problem. This
personal relationship often leads
to greater understanding and
appreciation on the part of the
student and it is not uncommon
for a student and professor to
"strike up" a friendship that
will last ior life.
The accusation has been made
that Fairfield is a "baby" among
Universities and consequently
doesn't have the experience to
teach or to impart as good an
education as perhaps other larger
Jesuit colleges. Fairfield is
young in buildings only. In experience
and curriculum it has
500 years in the "ratio studiorum"
and in tradition it can
claim 2,000 years of Christianity.
What more background and references
can be expected. The
same Jesuits teach at Fairfield as
at. any other Jesuit institution
. . . Fairfield has the best possible
quality of education that
can be had.
Finally, but obviously the
most important, is the fact that
the man will be receiving a
Catholic education. The truths
of his religion will be instilled
in him for life but more important
he will learn the Catholic
moral viewpoint on subjects
that will affect his life directly.
It is pitifully true that Catholics
for the most part are ignorant
of their religion. I am sure that
a great many of these un-informed
Catholics would die for
their religion if the sacrifice was
demanded, but in our country
it isn't. What is demanded is a
knowledge of .tile religion so
that under the questioning of
sincere as well as insincere
people we will be able to defend
and explain it satisfactorily.
Don't be a Catholic who uses
the excuse that his religion is a
mystery that the human intellect
can't possibly understand.
The challenge is offered at Fairfield
for those who will accept
it ... embrace it and be a man.

Ernie Garrity, '60, a resident I
of Fairfield, graduated with the
spective sections of jazz. Included
in this group were traditionalists
(Wilbur de Paris),
Bop veterans (Dizzy Gillespie),
current jazz artists, and modern
stylists. The results were successful-
jazz musicians of all
types were discussing the~r
own brand of music amongst
themselves.
A School of Jazz
This had not happened
since the break between
traditionalists and modernists
in the Nineteen Forties and
since then modern jazz
musicians have been ignorant
of the background of the
music they are attempting to
play. Thus, was the beginning
of removing one of the
great stumbling blocks of
modern jazz and then was it
decided upon to incorporate
a School of Jazz to give an opportunity
as this for musicians
to broaden their jazz
horizons.
The school will be held for
three weeks in August under
the direction of John Lewis,
leader of the Modern Jazz
Quartet, and a faculty of
prominent jazz personalities.
The curriculum will include
lectures on the history of jazz,
practical experience in performing
in and writing for
both large and small ensembles,
and individual lessons in the
jazz techniques of the more
common jazz ~nstruments. It
will draw great musicians
from all parts of the world
and will undoubtadly be one
of the biggest advances in jazz
in many years.
Tanglewood has been noted
for many years for its summer
courses and concerts in classical
music, and this summer will
hold the opening of its equivalent
in jazz in the form of the
School of Jazz at nearby
Lenox, Mass.
Discussion On Jazz
The original idea of such
a school is the result of
panel and round table discus-sions
of jazz and folk music,
which the Music Inn in
Lenox has been offering for
the past seven summers.
These discussions h a v e
drawn anthropologists, sociologists,
and folklorists as
well as musicologists, critics,
and· musicians-all analyzing
various aspects of jazz.
The audiences in previous
years have been made up
primarily of people interested
in jazz rather than of jazz
musicians. However, last summer
a change was made when
two-dozen well known jazz
musicians were invited to
attend and represent their re-

RED CHINA AND THE UNITED NATIONS
In these days of international strife and concern, one can
hardly be unacquainted with a topic much discussed in international,
diplomatic and popular circles-that being, whether or
not Communist China should be admitted to the United Nations.
Amidst a great deal of controversy and with the United States
assuming the lead, most free-world countries have expressed
their protests to keep Red China out of that organization which is
open to all freedom-minded nations.
Yet the Chinese Communists, directing and contromng the
lives and activities of an estimated 275 million human beings
through means of a goverrunent won by default, a government
many nations have even refused to recognize, persist
in their demands for U.N. admittance. Here, then, stands
th figure of a Chinese Communist, a hopeful smile on his
face, the dove and laurel of peace in his extended hand, asking
to be let into the world organization dedicatedl to the
peaceful endeavors of man. Here is the candidate, let us examine
his qualifications.
The United Nations has branded the Reds with the stamp of
aggressor in the Korean conflict. This justifiable condemnation
makes the Communists directly responsible for the deaths of more
than 33,000 American soldiers killed in action, and the wounding
of some odd 100 thousand G.I.'s during that campaign. With
a temporary ceasefire at the present moment the fate of Korea's
peace lies on the truce table. The Reds, however, have disregarded
that truce to the best of their wily ability. Not only have
they refused to unite Korea through a free election, thereby deciding
the destiny of that peninsular nation once and for all, but
the Reds are flagrantly violating the Korean Truce terms by
building up, in almost open fashion, divisions of well trained
Communist troops, adequately equipped with Soviet armaments.
But Korea only blemishes our aspirant's record in part, as if
that weren't enough.
The United States is well qualified to lead the opposition
against yielding a U.N. representation to Communist China.
The Reds are holding in relentless capti.vity numerous American
citizens as prisoners behind the Bamboo Curtain.
Among them are American Missionaries who have testified,
upon escape', of the brutality and torture to whi.~h they were
subjected in Red China. More American concern lies in the
fact that Mao Tse-tung, Red leader in Communist China, has
recently predicted that in the event of a sudden atomic war,
the United States would be "thoroughly smashed" by a SovietChi.
nese alliance.
Before we make any decision to allow the Chinese Reds
entry into the United Nations, let us .contemplate over the manner
in which they are treating heir own fellow countrymen.
The Reds hold in their slave-labor camps an estimated twenty-
five million non-compatriot Chinese men, women and children-
labor camps that relate the horrors of Devil's Island multiplied
a thousandfold. The filth, degradation, starvation and in·
humanity common in this country suggest the lowest circle of
Dante's Infe'rno. In their eight years of rule, the Reds have liquidated,
quite mercilessly, twenty-million so called "counterrevolutionary"
Chinamen most of them quite harmless and hardly
revolutionary.
The Nationalist Chinese on Formosa, those the Communists
failed in destroying, are being constantly confronted with
threats of forceful invasi.on from their "peaceful" cousins on
the mainland. All of Asia, as a matter of fact, has been a
theater of undeclared war for the Chinese Reds. Through
subversion and Communist propagated insurrection, all the
Illations in that area are, feeling the ruthless tentacles of the
Red octopus.
And this list is incomplete.
Complete enough it is, however, to make us realize that
the figure we have been examining has no hopeful smile on his
face, but a cynical, despotic grin. True, he holds the dove and
laurel of peace in his extended hand, but behind his back he
wields the blood-smeared cudgel we all know he can never
hide.
This is the candidate, and this is the barbarously blithed
record with which he seeks admittance to the organization men
have constructed for "Peace Loving States." Who is to say that
the fr'ee world has not rightly rejected his application.

ation. The story of the neurotic
captain's many tyrannies over
his men during many months of
sea duty, his cowardice under
fire, his incompetence as a
commander, are all told by witnesses
who take the stand at
the courtmartial. However, this
testimony is so obviously prejudiced
or evasive or ignorant
that there seems no real proof
that Queeg was unbalanced
when he was superseded. Even
two expert psychiatrists testify
the captain to be sane. There is
no one to say he is mentally
unbalanced except the usurper
of the captain's authority, Maryk
himself.
Capt. Queeg Cross-Examined
One of the most celebrated
scenes of the play, and its climax,
is the one in which Maryk's
ingenious counsel, a former
lawyer named Greenwald, recalls
Queeg to the stand-as a
witness for the defense. Quietly
he badgers him into so many
contradictions and embarrassing
admissions of petty tyranny
over his crew, of breaking of
regulations and rules of conduct
unbecoming an officer and
of cowardice under fire, that the
seemingly composed captain be'
gins to rage and rant and finally
to collapse. The poor fellow's
personality disintegrates
before the eyes of the court-the
shattering picture of the terror
and pitiful pride of a man having
his life and career destroyed
before witnesses.
Not all the action takes place
in a court room. At a party celebrating
Maryk's acquittal, the
play's real', theme is brougbt
forth by Greenwald, WiLO, tv
save Maryk, had forever blackened
Captain Queeg. The theme
is that Queeg however poor a
commander of a ship was due to
the proper respect for military
authority, and for being, with
all others in the regular services,
ready to protect the country
from its wartime enemies
until civilians could be trained.
