Mr. Lunn is currently engaged
in an around-the-world lecture
tour in which he has lectured to
Catholics in India and Australia
before reaching America.
In 1935 Mr. Lunn made his
first -lecture tour in the United
States, and in the following year
he was appointed Assistant Pro­fessor
of Apologetics at Notre
Dame University, which position
he held until the war. He was
in Austria in 1938 during the
Anschluss, and during the Span­ish
Civil War he visited that
country as a war correspondent.
Before the outbreak of World
War II, he visited Finland, the
Baltic States, Poland, and Czech­oslovakia,
and during and after
the war he has studied the con
ditions of these and many other
European countries.
Mr. Lunn is famous not only
for his lecturing ability, but also
for his intense interest in skiing.
He is; the inventor of the famous
ski race known as the slalom,
and formerly was president of
the Ski Club of Great Britain
and chairman of the Interna­tional
Downhill Ski R a c i n g
Committee. In 1936 and 1948 he
acted as referee at the world­famous
Winter Olympic Games.
A convert to the Church, Mr.
Lunn was born in Madras, India,
the eldest son of Sir Henry
Lunn, M.D., of Trinity College,
Dublin. Popularizing the type
of controversy which consists of
the publication in book form of
letters between people of sharp­ly
contrasting views, he collab­orated
before becoming a Cath­olic
with Monsignor Ronald A.
Knox in Difficulties and, among
others, with the famous Marx­ian
scientist Professor J. B. S.
Haldane, F.R.S., in Science and
the Supernatural.

Father Dolan read the final
recommendations set down by a

The Sophomore Class. In the notable response
which they displayed toward the formation of a College
Unit of the American Red Cross at Fair'field University,
members of the Sophomore Class have come to the fore
in an activity which is open to all four classes, and thus
have shown that they are not willing merely to be led,
but expect and are willing to lead other .classes in im­portant
activities in our university.
This should not be considered an awakening on the
part of the Sophomore Class, for it has not necessarily
been lax in other school activities. It is noteworthy,
however, insofar as the sophomores now lead all four
classes in an activity which can be of great importance
to the individual, the campus, the community, ,md the
nation.
The pUI1pose of the Red Cross is to be of aid to the
needy in times of peril, crisis, suffering, and disaster.
As such, Red Cross agents work nat for themselves, but
for their fellow men . . . an honorable and inspiring
attitude in an em in which self-interest seems to be
becoming predominant.
What this College Unit offers to the stud-ents can be
of help both to the individual and to others in times of
peril, should such arise. In recognizing the importance,
significance, and purpose of the organization, THE
STAG congratulates its Sophomore leaders for their
interest and zealous attitude.
From My Corner
By Francis G. Philbin
I am a 98 lb. weakling. I know
'I am because one time I was sit­ting
on the beach with a girl
and an immense muscular heap
kicked sand in my face. The
only thing I did about it was
brush the sand off and try to
resume my conversation. How­ever,
the girl gave me a rather
snooty lo'ok and departed with
the 300 lb. giant. You can
imagine my discomfiture. People
all around were sneering, chort­ling,
and at intervals, I could
hear the word "weakling" being
'mumbled from some of the more
forward of the bathers. I im­
·mediately gathered up my moth­eaten
blanket, wrapped it around
my sparse frame and beat a
hasty retreat from the scene of
my embarrassment. But mine is

I resolved that no more would

·more would I lose another girl.
Drastic action was definitely
.necessary! I pondered my prob­lem.
Then I thought I had it.
I would stay away from the
beach! But my facile mind ob­jected,
what would happel?- if
a monster of similar proportIOns
kicked snow in my face? No,
something more drastic would
have to be done, else I would
have to become a recluse.

my dilemna when I arrived back
in Fairfield this year. I somehow

·one day as I sat staring around
the cafeteria, doggedly ignoring
the textbook in front of me, I
saw what at first glance appear­ed
to be a picture of a so-called
bathing beauty on the opposite
wall. I dismissed the image as

Fairfield would not tolerate any
such display, especially in one
of the most frequented places in
the school. However, I noticed

The many commuters who
gripe and complain because ·ac­tivities
are held after school
should take note of the work
which is done by Bernie Beg­lane,
our versatile Sports-Editor.
Bernie commutes from the City
of New York every day, not
only arising. in the dark, but
getting home long after the sun
has set. Not content merely with
handling sports for the STAG,
Bernie has developed into an
ace booster and public relations
man for our basketball team.
Whe~ asked why he does it,
Bernie replied, "Someone has to
do it." The next time you hear
any commuter start to sound off
unnecessarily, remiI1d him that
maybe he hasn't got so much
to complain about after all.
Odds n' Ends: a sign of winter
is the fact that the University

Congratulations are in order
to Art Boulanger who was se­lected
as chairman of the Wa­terbury
Club's Christmas Dance.
We wish him all success in this
latest endeavor, and hope that
this dance may well become an
"annual affair." Notice should
be called to the fact that Art,
along with Ed Bateson, was the
co-chairman of the Frosh-Soph
dance which was held last Octo­ber
27. Their names were not
correctly titled in the account
which appeared elsewhere in the
STAG and also in this column.
Our humble apologies, but mis­takes
will happen.
This column would like to
congrat:ulate Mr. John Meany
and the members of the Micro­phone
Club and other organiza­tions
who teamed together to
produce the radio program,
"Bellarmine Quotes." This is a
powerful step in the right di­rection
and it is hoped that
many more will follow, so that
we of Fairfield may become
known as a University and not
an offshoot of the Prep.

KON-TIKI. By Thor Heyerdahl.
During the summer we read
a book, which' has to be done
during t\J.e summer because dur­ing
sch\)ol terms, there is so
much to read that we never
have any time for reading. If
it astounds you that we were
so literate that we read a book
(this is the editorial or royal
"we") we would like to report
that we even waited three years
for this particular book, and it
was worth the wait.
If you like adventure, and like
your adventure to be true, un­bloody,
and lavishly peppered
with humor, KIN-TIKI is the
book for you. No blood-and­thunder,
no six-guns, no can­nibals
here; just sea and sky and
sun and stars, and sharks and
dolphins and pilot fish, six col­orful
young men and a crazy
balsa-wood raft named the Kon­Tiki.
In the final chapters of
the book some Polynesians, and
a Polynesian clambake complete
to leis, hulas, grass skirts and
poi-poi are thrown in, and this
isn't Dorothy Lamour, me lads;
this is the real thing. There was
also a parrot, who used to eat
the radio antenna (the raft had
no engine, but it had a radio)
but he was washed overboard,
to everyone's sorrow.
Because Thor Heyerdahl had
an unorthodox theory that the
Polynesian islands were settled
from the South American main­land,
rather than out of Asia as
is commonly believed, it seems
only natural that he would even­tually
build the same kind of
raft that the bearded white
strangers of ancient Inca legend,
who probably built the Inca
pyramids and giant statues and
whatnot, and who (says Heyer­dahl)
probably built those great
statues and pyramids on Easter
Island would have qsed, if they
actually did reach Easter Island
-and Hawaii, and Fatu Hiva,
and Tahiti, and Samoa, and New
Zealand, and any 'place yo.u'd
care to mention. Heyerdahl ad­mits
that he ,did not prove that

Fairfield opened its basketball
campaign last Friday evening at
the Armory with a decisive vic­tory
over Brooklyn Poly 68-40.
It was a sweet triumph for the
"Red Stags" who performed be­fore
some 750 keyed-up fans.
The game started rather sadly
for the North Benson playmak­ers
as Poly's cool, deliberate play
enabled them to hold a one point
advantage at half time 26-25.
Then the storm struck. It start­ed
fast and kept coming and
never subsided until the final
whistle blew. Joe Kehoe, the
slim six-footer, paced the surg­ing
STAGS on by dumping in
22 points. A total of 16 of these
were scored in the second half.
In the scoring column he had the

team for the year, and in so do­ing,
one member of a Catholic
school is named. He is Bato
Govedarica of De Paul. He fails
to mention any player of a Cath­olic
school on his second team,
but in naming the third five, Bob
Zawoluk of St. John's and Dan
Bagley of Notre Dame were se­lected.
Another article on the national
basketball picture written by
Stanley Woodward, noted sports
writer of New York, appearing
in his own magazine, Stanley
Woodward's Basketball - 1951.
gives further evidence to the
prowess of Catholic schools with
regards to the cage sport. Wood­ward
doesn't rate the teams in
any numerical order as did Hol­man,
but he does make his se­lections
for the 1951 season in
a notable fashion. In the East,
he doesn't rate any Catholic
school as outstanding, and no
such institution receives recog­nition
until the Midwestern area
is reached. In that section he
rates Notre Dame against the
top teams, and the only other
school to receive mention in the
entire nation is Santa Clara of
California.
With regards to individual
performers, Woodward nomin­ates
only one member of a Cath­olic
center of learning as All­American
material, and he is
Bob (Zeke) Zawoluk of St.
John's.
All in all, it looks like the
Catholic schools will bear con­sidering
watching with regards
to basketball on a national pic­ture.
Maybe our own school will
be right there for honors at the
end of the year, although we are
still not considered a "name"
college.

IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO PLAN
your clothes for college as carefully
as you chart your course of study ...
In an article published recent­ly
in the 1951 edition of Nat
Holman's Basketball Annual. the
outstanding mentor of City
-College of New York goes out
on a limb and selects the teams
that he thinks will be outstand­ing
in the various sections of
the country. It is interesting to
note how many Catholic schools
he selects, with the East hold­ing
the sway over the other sec­tions
of the nation. Some might
say he was prejudiced in pick­ing
his own club as tops,' but
who can dispute him since they
captured all national honors last
year? st. John's of Brooklyn fol­lows,
with Seton Hall of New
Jersey, Canisius and Niagara of
upstate New York and Holy
Cross of Worcester garnering
fifth to eighth spot respectively.
Georgetown of Washington, D.C.,
and Duquesne and Villanova of
Pennsylvania walked off with
the tenth, eleventh and twelfth
positions.
Moving along to the Mid­west,
three Catholic schools are
picked in the top ten, as Dayton
University of Ohio and De Paul
of Illinois were picked second
and third, followed by Notre
Dame in eighth place.
In the South, no Catholic
schools were nominated but in
the Missouri Valley area, the
University of Detroit in Michi­gan
and St. Louis University of
Missouri were posted in the
fourth and fifth slots. Holman
ignored the Catholic schools in
the Southwest and the Far West
as he failed to name even the
outstanding San Francisco col­lege
combine.
Holman goes further in his se­lections,
and picks what he con­siders
to be the All-American

From My Corner
(Continued from Page 2)
the poster, a half-eaten sand­wich
in his whitened fist. "Ye
Gods," he shouted, "Do my eyes
deceive me?" That did it! I went
over for a closer inspection. In
truth it was a striking picture
but the figure was not feminine.
No, it was definitely masculine.
It seemed at first to be an exag­gerated
version of the type of
monster who strikes terror into
my feeble heart.
A blonde giant was pictured
in what I supposed must have
been a dramatic pose. Pounds
of useless flesh were draped all
over his body. His skin looked
somewhat, if you will pardon
the expression, slimy. His mas­sive
skull had all the proportions
of those of an idiot. He was star­ing
rather blankly ahead and one
could not escape the impression
that real thought was a stranger
to the regions below his well­combed
hair.
I stared in stunned silence for
a while, until I became rather
embarrassed, because - I hesi­tate
to say it - he was rather
scantily attired (to borrow an
expression from the newspa­pers).
My eyes then fell on a
sign next to it exhorting its
readers to join some sort of a
club which would, I suppose,
mould the novice into a figure
approaching the proportions of
the creature in the picture. I
backed away, shaking my head.
An iron resolve was formed in
my mind. Blast me if I wouldn't
stay a weakling.
Kon-Tiki
(Continued from Page 2)
they did people Polynesia, but he
certainly proved that they could
have done it-in a raft with one
square sail, that could not even
tack, with only a steering sweep
for control, without any metal
in its construction. It was made
of nine great balsa logs, tied
together, partially decked, and
equipped with a tiny banana-leaf
hut. Try that one on Columbus!
Six remarkable young men
set out on this authentic Inca
raft and floated and sailed 4 300
miles on the Humboldt Cur;ent
and in the trade winds to where
they hoped they would go ­and,
to their dismay, past it!
They lived not on the water but
practically in it, and struck up
an intimate acquaintance with
a changing esc'ort of fish - in­cluding
a seventy-foot whale
shark. They lived alternately on
U.S. Army rations and what the
white-Inca Kon-Tike lived on
and found the latter better:
Heyerdahl has the gift of reliv­ing
the experience in writing,
and as you read, you are there
taking your turn at the steer~
ing sweep, outstaring a shark on
your eye-level, and hanging on
for dear, dear life when the raft
piles up on that destination reef.
Probably the best sea story of
our time.....-...

Department of Education at Fair­field
University. A student panel
composed of Messrs. Michael
Levinsky, Edward Kelly, and
James Thurston adroitly ques­tioned
Dr. Rogalin on the differ­ent
phases of Christian educa­tion.
Dr. Rogalin started the discus-sion
by emphasizing the objec­tives
of Christian education. He
stated that it endeavored to at­tain
for the individual being ed­ucated
the supernatural end of
man as well as the greatest pos­sible
good in the mundane world.
Further, Dr. Rogalin pointed out
that the three agents concerned
with this education are the
Church, the family, and the
state.
The end of Christian educa­tion
was concisely given by Dr.
Rogalin when he stated: "Brief­ly,
then, this means the indi­vidual's
full actualization, body
and soul, so that he possess fully
that knowledge, develop those
habits and skills, evolve such
lofty ideals and attitudes that
his physical, vocational, avoca­tional,
civic, domestic, and spir­itual
life will realize his tem­poral
obligations fully and at­tain
the supernatural end for
which he was created."
