Last Spring, George Zeisner, a member of the Class
of 1954, presented a plan to the Student Council, which
would have changed the timing of the Class Day. The
plan died in committee, but undoubtedly will be considered
soon after the start of the year.
The basis of the plan is that known to look favorably upon
the class day would begin one the plan, although it has not
, . been presented formally to any
half hour earller m the morn- one in authority. The first dif-ing,
at 9:00, and the rest of ficulty and the chief one, would

The ever waning popularity of the assorted magazine drives

Orlowski. Pagliaro and Tremont must make their decisions early,

feeling among many is that a new source of revenue must be

the lower classes, but when it comes to the Senior class, where

Washington, D. C.-The full
scale summer Marine Corps Officer
training program for 3,500
college men hit an all-time high
in 1952. According to figures
compiled by Officer Procurement
Branch, Headquarters, U.
S. Marine Corps, these future
officers come from 500 different
colleges and universities over
the entire United States. Approximately
1,000 college students
in the Officer Candidate
Course, the Platoon Leaders
Class program, and the Women
Officer Training class are being
commissioned during the fall
of 1952.
The new second lieutenants
commissioned from the Marine
Corps Officer Candidate School
program received more than
450 hours of instruction, covering
all phases of basic training,
over a ten week period.
Such courses as military tactics,
leadership, signal communications,
and atomic warfare were
included. Students' received

The STAG proudly announces the opening of its
new office, located in the old Dean of Men's office, on
the first floor of Xavier Hall. Shared in conjunction
with the Manor, the new office is the latest in a line of
residences, which saw the STAG moved from the top
of Xavier, to the top of McAuliffe.
Last year, due to the distance involved in travelling
from Xavier to McAuliffe, a sub-office was opened in
the smaller consultation room, much to the delight of
the residents thereof. Now, we have a true home at
last. Our grateful appreciation to all those who made
this possible, and our thanks to the residents of the
consultation room who endured us for so long.
ANew HOll1e
Another Year
Another school year has begun. The retreat is
over, and by the time you read this, the Schola Brevis
will be over. Tomorrow will be the first class day. Our
initial task is to welcome the new freshman class. We
wish the members of the Class of 1956 all the success in
the world during their stay at Fairfield.
Of course, we have some advice to offer, and you
may take it for what it is worth.
Today, an effort has been made to enlist participation
in extra-curricular activities. The importance
which all at Fairfield, students and faculty alike, attach
to this work is evident from the amount of time and
energy that has been devoted to the Schola Brevis. You
were given the opportunity to join the group of your
choice, or to ignore them all - the choice was yours.
To those who have made use of the opportunity
offered to them today, we wish the success that comes
from earnestness and hard work; to those who ignored
the invitation, we suggest that they reconsider. Despite,
or perhaps because of, the hard work necessary in most
extra-curricular activities, there is much enjoyment
involved. The student who does not participate at all
is missing a great deal of college life. He is missing
something which may be of great benefit to him in later
life. A man who gets the best marks in the world, can
not put them to any use if he has not learned to get
along with, and Jo work with his fellow men. This ability
to get along with others can be acquired and developed
through work in the various extra-curricular enterprises.
We urge your active and interested participation.

snapshots of dances, outings,
meetings, and other phases
of student life, and who wish
to have them published in
the Manor, leave them in

the names of those in the
picture and the event at

returned late in May, 1953.
A Social Calendar is now being

With the advent of another school year, and a new sports
season, the first major sport which will receive attention in these
columns is track. Father Lyons. the Director of Athletics, informs
the STAG, that a call f.or candidates will be made at about
the time that this column appears. The team will be in need of
men to replace such veteran point scorers as Bob Drongowski and
Pete Amenta of the Class of '52, and it is hoped that these men,
along with Ed Dowling and Bill Mecca will give Fairfield a banner
track season.
Intramural football will get under way during the next three
weeks. and would-be participants are urged to, line up their
squads. so that there will be little delay when the call goes out.
Last season. a group of this year's Seniors. Juniors and Sophomores.
coached by Marine Corps veteran Bill Rice. and known as
Phuirs Filosophers. copped the title. Team members were Jack
Doheny. Chris Barrett. John Bigley. John Kramer. Bernie O·Meara.
Norb Fahey. Don Burns. Jim Grosso. Bob Lane. Mario Scrimenti.
and Larry Fagan.
Some of the Fairfield Prep Alumni here at the University
have asked us to wish the new Prep football mentor all the "luck
in the world" in his first campaign. If precedent is followed,.
many University students will be on hand to cheer Tom Seymour
and his eleven in their quest for victory.
We understand that the Athletic Association. whose complete
reorganization was forecast in these columns last spring. is near
death. At the end of last season. there were only five or six active
members. and as far as we know. no new elections have been
held. To us. it would appear that an active "A.A:' is essential
to the behind the scenes work necessary for a complete and active
sports program. There was a time when the "A.A:· even sponsored
a dance for the student body - January of 1950 - which
proved an enjoyable and interesting prelude to the Winter Carnival
of that year. More in a later issue on the "A.A:'
PERSONALITIES ... Johnny Kulowiec and Norb F'ahey,
Freshman and Junior members of last year's Fairfield nine,
sparkled in other mound chores throughout the summer. Kulowiec
was with the Stamford Advocate nine, which won the New England
Newspaper League Championship, sponsored by the Boston
Braves. Brave scouts were reportedly enthusiastic over his hitting
as well as his pitching.
. . . Joe Kehoe, Captain of the 1951-52 basketball squad, and
the only Fairfield performer to rack up 1,000 points during his
college career, is in the U.S. Army, as is Elliot Pierson, shortstop
of the baseball team.
... Congratulations to Jim Linehan, '52 and Joe Regensburger,
'51 who were married during the summer. Both were active in
A.A. work while at Fairfield, and Regensburger played on the first
basketball squad.

Office can supply a partial answer to the latter
question.
