Assessment Set For Oct. 17 ....
Explains Its Purpose·
The annual magazine drive at Fairfield University,
one of the greatest sources of revenue to the student
body in the past, has been cancelled this year. The
University administration, after due consideration, arrived
at the conclusion that it would be a venture unprofitable
in its ultimate. The decision was due to the
continual decrease in profits and increase in labor,
coupled with some confusion.
Opinions of Officers -------------
Wishing to hear every possible
side of this issue, your' reporter
has interviewed the presidents
of the various classes to gather
their opinions concernir.g this
matter.
The president of the Senior
Class, Mr. Bronislaw Orlowski
is entirely in line with the
thought of the school administration.
"When the yearly returns
grow less and less, and
when the area is so swamped
with competition, to the very
point of having magazine drives
in grammar schools, it seems
quite foolhardy to undertake
this task, which from all signs
would prove unprofitable and
belaboring."
Quite to the contrary are the
beliefs of Mr. Pagliaro, Junior
Class President ,and Mr. Tremont,

REQUIESCAT IN PACE
On Wednesday, September 17, the Rev. Gabriel
G. Ryan, S.J., died in St. Vincent's Hospital, of injuries
he received in a fall from the window of his room
in Bellarmine Hall three days earlier.
Each of us who knew Father Ryan was deeply
shocked and saddened by the sudden loss of one who
was so much a part of Fairfield. From the time he
came to Fairfield, in 1948, until his death three weeks
ago, Father Ryan gave unceasingly of his energy and
his time in the service of his God, his Order, his University
and its Students.
The memories which we hold of Father Ryan are
memories of busy days, in the classroom, before the
radio microphones, in the galleries of the CISL, and
on the platform of the Diocesan Labor Institute. The
pictures which we hold in our memories tell the story
far better than these few words would ever pretend
to do.
We acknowledge and we accept the will of God
in this as in all things, and we ask the blessing of the
Father upon a true friend, a just teacher and a good
priest.

There you have the picture.
As the space is limited, this is
a brief portrayal. However,
before closing let me again
state that we can look forward
to a successful year of participation
in the Federation. The
l'lfational Congress has established
the ground work and the
way is clear .We must remember,
however, that the N.F.C.C.S.
will aid us only if we are interested
in defending Catholic
principles and have a sincere,
desire to contribute to the Catholic
Apostolate of College
students. It is available to all
students at Fairfield. We can
avail ourselves to its numerous
opportunities and we can,
throlAgh your united efforts,
help others.
However, there are some activities
in which we have not
as yet participated; namely the
Mission and Overseas Service
Program, but I have good reason
to believe that some day
these organs of the Federation
may be responsible for aiding
students from Foreign countries
to receive the benefits of Jesuit
teachings at Fairfield.

ON THE SERIOUS SIDE
The Council was asked to refrain
from using Robert's (in)famous

hold up business and limit its
use to keeping order.
Eureaka! Bitter memories of
nights spent listening to word
duels over the most minute
point returned when the President
Cronin suggested the limitation.
The Council members
are elected by the students to
act' in their interest and NOT
to dabble in petty politics as
sometimes was the case last
year. It is hoped that the suggestion
is adhered to for the remainder
of the year.
This column has often taken
exception to Mr. Paul Tremont's
propositions to the
Council. We have been wrong
at times, viz. premature criticism
of the Parking Authority.
However, there was nothing
personal in its criticism. By the
same token, others who object
to Mr. Tremont's ideas, should
refrain from indulging in per-sonalities.

The treasurer of the Council,
Elsewhere in this issue, there is a story on the
abolition, at least for this year, of the magazine drive.
As we received the story, there seems to be a variety
of opinions on the move. We feel that this is an important
issue and worthy of comment.
In the first place, it must be pointed out that the
"drives" were becoming less and less popular, and less
successful. In 1949, when the first organized drive was
held, there was a profit of $337.08 for the Class of 1951,
$64.46 for the Class of 1952, and nothing for the Class
of 1953. In 1950, the Class of '51, made a profit of
$662.90; the Class of '5-2, $389.04; the Class of '53, $76.22,
and the Class of '54, $3.50. Last year, the Senior Class
('52), added $521.13 to its Treasury, while the Class of
'53 made $253.64, and the Class of '54 netted $52.81. The
Freshman Class last year made $32.20.
If you will examine the figures above; it will be
noted that as each Junior Class came along, the total
dropped, so that the Class of 1953 had the poorest record
of any of the Junior Classes. This was due, apparently,
to two things: the relatively small number in the class,
and a distinct dislike for the drive itself. Now, we have
no magazine drive and the Class Presidents are left
with a major problem.
The President of the Senior Class, Bron Orlowski,
has said that he is glad that the drive was abolished'. We
agree with him in this, mainly because of the evident
decline in revenue which. the: drive was producing in his
class. Another reason why we go along with the Senior
Leader is that the Senior Class has a big financial problem
which can not be handled by the magazine drive.
We refer to The MANOR. How much better it will be if
those who normally supported the magazine drive will
turn their efforts to the advertising campaign now in
progress. If every man who sold one subscription last
year would sell one ad in The MANOR, the loss of magazine
revenue would be compensated for.
The absence of this revenue means that social
events will have to be managed very carefully so that
the class treasuries will not be depleted. In the past,
the dances and other socials were run with full knowledge
that they would lose money, or at the most, only
break even. Now it must be carefully planned in advance
so that these events will not lose money. This
will undoubtedly mean an increase in prices over those
of other years.
The need of capable chairmen for such events is all
the more evident. It is our opinion that the Class Presidents
have a greater obligation than ever before. Men
of acknowledged ability and business acumen should be
chosen to head the various class affairs. The chairmanship
of a social event is not a position of honor and
glamor - it is a position of trust and a difficult job a
job upon which the financial future of the class may
depend.
We note that there are currently three men in
charge of social events - Larry Fagan, Jack Welch, and
John McGrath. These men are experienced and well
thought of in their respective classes. We congratulate
the men who appointed them on their choices. The end
of the month of October will see whether the student
body as a whole will support these chairmen in their
endeavors.

December 4, 1952 and April 23,
1953 administrations to Educational
Testing Service in selfaddressed
envelopes, which will
be given to registrants by local
boards. All these cards have not
yet been mailed to local boards
and it was emphasized that they
will not be available until after
October 6, 1952.
Applications for the December
4, 1952 test must be postmarked
not later than November
1, 1952 .Applications postmarked
after midnight of that
date cannot be accepted for the:
December test.
The present criteria for deferment
as an undergraduate student
are either a satisfactory
score (70) on the Selective Service
College Qualification Test
or specified rank in class (upper
half of the male freshman class,
upper two thirds of the male
sophomore class, or upper three
fourths of the male junior
class).
Students accepted for admission
or attending a graduate
school prior to iTuly 1, 1951 satisfy
the criteria if their work
is satisfactory. Graduate students
admitted or attending after
July 1, 1951 must have been
in the upper half of their classes
during their senior year or make
a score of 75 or better on the
test .It is not mandatory for local
boards to follow the criteria.
General Hershey has emphasized
many times that the criteria
are a flexible yard stick
and that the standards may be
raised anytime necessity for
manpower demands.

The number of students taking
the Selective Service College
Qualification Test will
swell to approximately half a
million with completion of the
third series of tests to be given
December 4, 1952 and April 23,
1953 at 1000 testing centers
throughout the country.
In announcing dates of the
third series, Major General
Lewis B .Hershey said that 413,395
students have already taken
the test. He reported that the
Educational Testing Service of
Princeton, New Jersey again has
been designated to prepare and
administer the test on the basis
of submitted bids and to send
each examinee's score to selective
local boards.
Students currently deferred
on the basis of test scores or
class standards number about
190,000.
General Hershey emphasized
that increasing manpower demands
make it important that
each draft-eligible student who
has not taken the test do so as
soon as possible.
Students whose acade'mic year
will end in January 1953 have
been urged to take the December
4, 1952 test so they will
have a test score in their cover
sheets before the end of their
academic year, at which time
their boards will reopen and reconsider
their cases to determine
whether they should be deferred
as students.
To be eligible to apply for the
college deferment test a student
must (1) intend to request
deferment as a student; (2) be

course of instruction; and

a question about the citizens'
obligation to vote. He was told
that when the good of the nation
and society was involved that
everyone has the moral duty to
vote.
Most of the other questions
from the panel were inquiries
about the voters obligations,
such as: joining political parties,
active participation in primaries,
and holding candidates to promises.
Mr. Buckley was interested
in the problem of extension of
the franchise to eighteen year
olds on the basis that they fight
in the Armed Forces. Fr. Clancy,
however, was of the opinion
that there is no comparison between
the responsibilities of the
service and the vote. He feels
that only after the effect of college
or employment can a young
man achieve the maturity necessary
for proper voting .
In answer to a question from
Mr. Ondeck, Fr. Clancy gave advice
to the prospective voter. He
emphasized that we live in a
great nation with a grand progress
toward freedom and that
we can only maintain it by casting
our vote in a "Godly manner."

On October 1 the Student Education
Association of Connecticut
held its first attraction for
this year-"a Student Confab."
Students from U. Conn., New
Britain, Danbury, Willimantic
and Fairfield University, numbering
over 100, met at Willimantic
State Teachers College.
They met other future teachers
,and discussed the teaching
profession which they will soon
enter. The S.E.A.C. is a student
association open to student
teachers from every college in
Connecticut.
Last May, Mr. Robbins Barsow
(C.C.A. Student Staff Consultant)
invited students from
the various colleges in the State
to meet with him and draw up
a constitution for a State wide
student organization for future
teachers. Delegates from five
schools met at New Britain and
after several meetings drew up
a constitution and elected tentative
officers for the following
year.
The purpose of the SEAC is
to provide an opportunity for
future teachers to meet, discuss
their ideas and viewpoints, and
to encourage them to participate
in active teacher organizations.
The Education Club has made
membership in the SEAC an
activity of that club, because
Fairfield University is a mem'
ber college of this organization.
Fairfield students attending
the "confab" were Lawrence
Schaeffer, Connie Testone, Tom
Marshall, John Howard, Bronislaw
Orlowski, Gus Horvath,
Dick Sansonetti, Paul Sullivan,

To the members of the

With the success of the past

is now looking forward to and
preparing for another season.
There have been seventy students
who applied for membership
this year. Along with the
singers, there are positions for
several managers now open.
The program for the coming
season includes the following
selections:

A list of concerts to date consists
of the following ten:
December 7, Saint Joseph College
at Fairfield; concerts scheduled
for: Torrington, Danbury,
Meriden, Derby, Waterbury,
New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport,
and a tentative concert in
New Jersey.
Thus, we may be well assured
that the season 1952-1953 will be
one of great success and pleasure
to the audiences who will
hear the Fairfield University
Glee Club 'and to the men themselves,
both the old members
"There is not any music of
instrument whatsoever comparable
to that which is made of
the voices of men, where the
voices are good, and the same
well sorted and ordered."
These words of the Elizabethan
madrigalist, William Byrd,
are made to come gloriously
true by the Fairfield University
Glee Club.
The Glee Club is particularly
fortunate in having as its director
an accomplished singer and
musician, Mr. Simon Harak of
Derby, Conn. It is through his
unstinted efforts and painstaking
exactitude that the Glee
Club has reached its present
high level of choral ability.
Mr. Harak has had an extensive
musical education in the United
States and in Mexico, and was
for many years a soloist in radio.
The excellence of training 'is
manifested in the excellence of
the Club's performance. Mr.
Henry Weber of Shelton, Conn.,
is the accompanist.
"A group of energetic young
men from Fairfield University
made their third annual visit to
Hartford and brought with them
two hours of pleasant music ...
the annual visit of the Fairfield
Glee Club must be an event
with a firm place on the Hartford
musical calendar . . ."
This warm praise was given fo
the Glee Club by the music
,critic of the' Hartford Courant
after last year's concert.
From the Waterbury Republican:
"... the Fairfield signers displayed
a depth of resonance and
sensitivity in the, 'Lost Chord'
which approached professional
standards ... the Glee Club provided
local citizens with an evening
of good choral music."
And from the Bridgeport Post:
"... both to the eye and to
the ear, this organization appeared
to be an exceedingly well
disciplined and integrated
group. Their diction is so clear
as to be remar1<.able; the tone
quality is well blended, and
there is no forcing of tone to
mark the young men as too exuberant
in their love of singing.'"
The selections of the Glee
Club have varied in range from
the lofty "The Lost Chord" and
Arcadelt's "Ave Maria" to the
"Syncopated Clock" and popular
show melodies. Variety' is
added to the program by two
special groups" the Campus Minstr,

Three Veterans
There are three veteran runners,
who form the core of this
year's Cross Country squad ,I.e.
sophomores Al Purcell, Pete
Rackiewicz and Danny D'elia, a
high point man from two seasons
back. Among the newcomers
who show promise are Jay
Jaser, a junior, who is trying
the gruelling five mile run for
the first time and freshmen Lou
Mirabella, Bill Higgins and Pete
DeMarco. Coach Tamashumas
has had the boys working out
for the. past.two '.weeks, -and.the
word is that the boys are looking
good. This mixture of youth
and experience gives Tamashumas
a bright outlook for the
coming season.
Pagliaro Manager
Tony Pagliaro, the veteran
track and cross country manager,
returned again to fill that
important capacity. Father Lyons,
director of Athletics, has
not released the schedule yet,
but the first meet is reported to
be on October 30 against White

Coach Tamashumas still has
openings for several men on the

Record Exam
Princeton, N.J., September 19:
The Graduate Record Examinations,
required of applicants for
admission to a number of graduate
schools, will be administered
at examination centers
throughout the country four
times in the coming year. During
1951-52 nearly 8,000 students
took the GRE in partial fulfillment
of admission requirements
of g-raduate schools which prescribed
it.
This fall candidates may take
the GRE on Friday and Saturday,
November 7 and 8. In 1953,
the dates are January 30 and 31,
April 17 and 18, July 10 and 11.
ETS advises each applicant to
inquire of the graduate school of
his choice which of the examinations
he should take and on
which dates. Applicants for
graduate school fellowships
should ordinarily take the designated
examinations in the
fall administration.
The GRE tests offered in these
nationwide programs include a
test of general scholastic ability,
Father Lyons, Director of Athletics, in a recent interview
to The STAG, has expressed a need for reorganization
of the Athletic Association.
Citing the overall lack of in-I --------------1
tel'est of many of last year's
members, Father Lyons noted
that only a few members shouldered
their responsibility. He
further added ,if that should be
the case this year, the A.A.
might just as well close shop
and abandon all attempts to reorganize
and that distinterest
and lack of co-operation will not
be tolerated in the association.
Reorganization Plan
The A.A. reorganization plan
calls for participation in all
sports and a limited membership
of twenty-five. Father
Lyons was particularly careful
to point out that by participation,
he means performing
the various duties undertaken
by the Association regarding
the different athletics programs.
The plan will be discussed in detail
at a later meeting when
the election of officers will
take place. Special emphasis
will be placed on 100 per cent
interest and co-operation of all
members.
Meanwhile the-' A.A. will
carryon its present duties and

By HARRY MARMION
Well, here we are again, another year started, and the Athletic
wheels at Fairfield are already beginning to turn.
To the Freshmen ... Here at Fairfield almost anyone sufficiently
interested can be a part of the Athletic Progmm.
Right now Cross Country practice has already started, and
the thin clads can use plenty of help. Last year the team was
severely handicapped by the lack of men. The season was not
too successful, mostly attributable to the small squad. So if you
are interested, just see Father Lyons in his office and he'll be glad
to give you a uniform. Coach Tamashumas will be glad to see
you.
The baseball team is having fall tryouts and there are several
spots open on the club. So any prospective Ty Cobbs ... get
out there and let Norb Fahey give you the once over. This idea
of fall practice is a good one, because it saves valuable time in
the spring. Last year because of the weather conditions and the
difficulty in cutting the squad, Coach Yabrowsky couldn't get
together with the boys as a team till about a week before the
season started.
By the time this issue comes out, Coach Jim Hanrahan will
have his basketball squad out getting them in shape. All you
have to do is watch the bulletin board for the time and place.
If you're not successful in making the varsity cuts, don't give up
hope because later in the year the call will come again for Junior
Varsity candidates.
On the Intramural front . . . the football league will start
soon and Phuir's Filosophers will be defending their title. I hear
that the mysterious Birdwatchers will field a club, which should
be very interesting.
If all this is not enough, and there are some who are left out,
there comes the Athletic Association. This organization is made
up of the managers of the various varsity teams and ,any others
who wish to help out at the various athletic events throughout
the year.
So let's see a lot of new faces on the sports scene here at
Fairfield. By the way lots of luck to the varsity coaches ,and the
wish for successful seasons for them all.

"s hoc kin g," "Horrifying,"
were the first words uttered
from the lips of Mr. T .P. Tremont.
"There is no other source
from which to gather the
money we need to meet our
class obligations, we need the
drive badly, I can think of no
other sub s tit ute profitable
enough to meet the standards of
the magazine drive."
Summary (Interpretations)
If this reporter may take the
liberty to interject a few of
his own opinions, let me say
this: I do not believe the cancellation
of the magazine drive
so "horrifying," so "Shocking"
as to think that all is lost; it is
not, believe me. The waters may
be rough, aye, but still with
Dame luck on our one side, and
a firm grasp of our courage on
the other ,we will reach safe
harbor. The sun will shine
through, the class will rise
again from the bloody sea
which is dragging us into the
abyss of complete disaster. I
agree with the administration,
we should not have a magazine
drive this year, it is fruitless
and unprofitable. So now let's
see just what the abilities of
these officers leading our various
classes are-let's see their
initiative, let's see the stuff
they're made of.

"lifeline" which kept the budget

the students of Fairfield with
more and varied activities. Perhaps,
its biggest contribution to
Fairfield was the introduction
of NFCCS.
Other Sources?
You ask trepidantly, don't the
magazine drives and the MidWinter
Carnival take care of
the necessary revenues for these
activities?" The magazine drives
have been of some help in the
past ,but there will be no
magazine drives this year. The

been the source of "red-spots"

debate on the respective habIhties
and assets of the Republican
and Democratic campaign
issues on Wednesday, October
15 during the second period.
The debate, one of a series staged
by the Public Affairs Club,
will be chairmaned by Henry
Mountan, President of the Public
Affairs Club.
The Public Affairs Club has
opened the academic year ,,:ith
a series of debates that are aimed
at clarifying the issues which
are being "kicked about" during
the present campaign.
In the first debate, Tom Martin
defended the policies of the
Democratic party against the
criticism of John Keegan who
did his best to point out the fallacies
and errors in the administration's
policy. Everything
from McCarthyism to Communism
was brought into this debate.
Neither man was willing
to concede a point or to allow
an issue to pass without comment.
After the discussion, questions
were directed at both men
by the audience who seemed to
be 'split rather evenly on the
issues at hand.
In the second of these debates
John Luckhart adequately
defe~ded the foreign policy of
the Democratic party against
John Papandrea, a freshman,
who had a wealth of facts at his
disposal. Mr. Luckhart stated his
views on the Marshall and
Schuman plans. Mr. Papandrea
tried to show that these were
the views of a demented Democratic
party which has failed not
once but many times in securing
a feasible foreign policy.
Mountan extended an invitation
to any who are interested
in attending these debates. He
also announced that there will
be an election held amongst the
students to determine whether
Fairfield prefers "Ike" or "AdlaL"
