Eugene M. Galligan
The Director of the Fairfield University P}acement
Bureau, Eugene M. Galligan, representing Fairfield University,
was elected to 'active membership in the Eastern
College Personnel Officers associa'tion on Thursday,
January 24, at '<,.n Executive Meeting of this organization,
held in New York city. The election of the Fairfield
Representative was sponsored by Mount Saint
Vincent's College and Fordham University at the January
meeting of 'the Executive Committee.
E.C.P.O., the parent organization
of Placement Directors,
serves as a general clearing
house for placement information
and also as a meeting place of
National Recruiters for Industry
and College Placement Directors.
Membership in E.C.P.O. is
vitally important to any college,
young or old. A potential employer,
upon receiving requests
from College Placement Directors
for job interviews for an
outgoing class, will immediately
contact E.C.P.O. to ascertain the
merits of the college and its graduates.
In the majority of cases,
a direct and positive reply depends
upon participation and
active membership in the association.
It was quite dubious, according
to reliable sources, whether
or not Fairfield would be admitted
in its early years as most
member colleges .are not recognized
until a minimum number
of years of corporate activity has
been. accomplished. This election
of Mr. Galligan to E.C.P.O. signifies
the recognition of Fairfield
University on a placement level,
for the office's activities in National
Placement in the past six
months. It is expected that graduates
of Fairfield will benefit
greatly as this recognition will
lead to better and higher valued
job opportunities.

Harak Returns To
Direct Glee Club
On Extensive Tour
Director of Placement Bureau
Elected to Membership In E.C.P.O.
On Tuesday, January 29, Mr.
Simon Harak, having been absent
because of a serious illness,
returned to his position as Director
of the Fairfield University
Glee Club. Under his direction
an extensive tour is being formulated
for the Choral Group.
Mr. Harak, upon returning, received
a warm and spontaneous
welcome which plainly showed
the sincere respect and affection
which all the members held for
him. In his absence, George
Thomas '53, had been directing
the Glee Club. A large debt of
gratiture is extended to George
for his ability and leadership at
a time when it was sorely
needed.
As in previous years, the Glee
Club has prepared a program
that will delight every audience.
The selections range from the
lofty "Lost Chord" to the tick
tock of the "Syncopated Clock,"
from Arcadelt's "Ave Marie" to
the "Air Force Song". They vary
from the traditional "Drink to
Me Only With Thine Eyes" to
the modern, "Where In The
World But In America." The
negro Spiritual is represented by
"Little Innocent Lamb." Several
great show medolies are included.
From "Carousel" are "June
Is Bustin' Out All Over," "If I
Loved You," and "You'll Never
Walk Alone;" from "Oklahoma,"
"The Surrey With The Fringe
On Top" and the theme song,
"Oklahoma." To stir the hearts
of their audience, the Glee Club

Edward C. Bates-on, vice-president
of the Student Council
and a member of the Junior
Delegation, has informed the
Junior Class president, John
Welch, of his intention to resign
his position ·as of Tuesday, February
5, 1952. On Monday,
Welch informed The STAG that
he 'Would propose the nomination
of John Auger to fill the
vacant post.
McGrath Declined
According ·to the election returns
of last spring, the next
man in line for Bateson's job
was Carroll McGrr-ath, but he
declined the position because
of his recent appointment as
Editor of the 1,953 MANOR.
Auger was the closest candidate
to McGrath in the balloting.
A breakdown of the final
standings in the election shows
that McGrath had 46 votes,
whiel Auger had 45. The next
candidate trailed Auger by six
votes.
Bateson noted that he submitted
his resignation with regret,
but that he felt that he
could no longer devote sufficient
time to the .council to keep
his position.
A total of 62 students achieved
Dean's List Honors for the first
semester, according to a release
by the Reverend Lawrence C.
Langguth, S.J., Dean of the College.
A break down of the total
figure shows that there are 31
seniors, 19 juniors, 6 sophomores
and {; freshmen on the list.

Graduate Tests Announced;
Seniors Urge.d To Act Soon
The Educational Testing Service of Princeton,
New Jersey, has announced the examination dates for
the Law and Medical Admission tests for graduate
study. This information is of particulaT interest to the
Seniors who intend to enter a Law or Medical College
in the 1952-1953 school year. All candidates for graduate
study are advised to take the tests as some Universities
require the examinations as partial satisfaction
for admission.

1952".... Lucky us! . '.' No

OTHER STUFF: Plan to save
us all from doom proposed by
Freshman Councillor Tremont
has its points, but more about
that later.... Christmas Seal
drive crawled to a miserable $25
finish. . . . Tax collections, as
of this w l' i tin g, proceeding
smoothly.
ON THE SERIOUS SIDE: If
this column appears to be a bit
disconnected, apologies are in
order, because it comes by remote
control. While you slaves
to Aristotle wade endlessly
through your scholastic tomes,
"Ye Scribe" is basking in the
disgustingly healthy atmosphere
of Greenwich hospital. But, 'be
of good faith, men, you too can
break a foot and live in the lap
of luxury.
However, a few words are in
order about Mr. Tremont's plan.
He has drawn up a three point
program that goes as follows:
(1) increased recreation facilities
for smokers and (hear this!)
continuous music in the cafeteria.
(2) Better cooperation between
the Council and the Administration.
Mr. Tremont seems
to feel that the Administration
backs only those plans which
are pleasing to it. (3) Better cooperation
among the Council
members themselves. He seems
to feel that there is room for it,
and that the members wouldn't
have run for office unless they
had been interested.
Let's look at this plan. Point
number one is not very feasible
under present conditions as continuous
music and ping pong in
the smokers would run the
chance of disrupting the classes
which are in progress.
Number two is what I'll tackle
next. The Student Council is not
the law of the land at Fairfield,
especially without a constitution.
It regulates the Student Activity
program to a degree and
supervises student social functions.
It is the formal voice of
the Student Body before the administration.
The Council may
be in opposition to an issue, and
the Administration will listen to
all the arguments, but said administration
has the right and
duty to do as it sees fit for the
best interests of the school.
I'm inclined to agree with Mr.
Tremont on the third point of
his plan. While the members of
the Council are intent on doing
their best, there is a tendency
to go off on a tangent and, as
a result, on occasion the original
point becomes drowned in a sea
of discussion'.
All in all, I'd say that the plan
has some merit, and that Mr.
Tremont has the makings of a
fine Student Councillor, but a
little more research plus a little
reserve will help his future pro
positions a great deal. Nevertheless,
his genuine interest and industry
is. worthy of commendation.
Good work!

1952 - the year of charges and countercharges, the
year of promises, the year of nationwide campaigns, the
year of the presidential election.
We 'are well aware that every right impLies a duty;
the right to vote implies the duty to vote, the !'light to
representative government implies the duty of balloting
for competent, efficient, honest officials.
"I know," we say, "I am an independent voter, I owe
my allegiance to no party and I vote every year." And
yet, is this attitude much better than the unethical
"My party, right or wrong."
When we vote during the election we have but two
choices, and it is not inconceivable that either man
could be equally harmful to the welfare of the country.
Our duty goes deeper than merely casting one ballot.
It is our duty to see 'that competent men receive the
nomination, that only the best men are candidates. It
is only by voting in the primaries that we can achieve
this end, for it is from the results of the primaries that
the candidates are chosen.
The farmer who is careless in spring planting has
no right to complain of poor harvests in the fall. In a
like manner the voter who neglects the importance of
the primaries has litJtle right to complain of the capabilities
of the autumn candidates. His nomination is a
direct result of our action, of our spring planting. If
we are careless oT..,neglectful in the spring, the harvest
is likely to be unsatisfaotory.
Today the United States is the most powerful nation
in the world, the leader in the struggle for freedom,
the stronghold of democracy. The job of leading
this nation calls for a man of exceptionalab:ility. We
must see that the best man possible is selected for this
position. If we are neglectful, this man may be passed
over in the primaries. It is our duty to ourselves, to
our na1tion, to our God to do our utmost to place in this
position of such extreme responsibility the most capable
man it is possible to find. This is our duty.
Congratulations
On behalf of the Student Body of Fairfield, the
Editors of The STAG wish to take this opportuni1y to
'extend our congratulations ·and thanks to Bill McGrath
of the Senior Class, and to his committee, for the job
which they did on ,the fifth Mid-Winter Carnival.
I t is a tremendous undertaking to direct and plan a
dance the size of the Winter Carnival; even more than
that, the responsibility ,due to the money involved, is
great indeed. We feel that the Student Council made
a good ,choke and that it was indeed fortunate to have
this dance in such capable hands. From The STAG,
then, well done.

GLEE CLUB
In The Spotlight
By BOB PETRUCELLI & JIM FARNAM
In its relatively brief history, the Glee Club has
won great acclaim throughout Connecticut for its precision
and quality. Reverend John P. Murray, 8.J., is
the faculty moderator of the club. Under the direction
of Mr. Simon Harak, an accomplished singer and experienced
director of choral groups, "The Men in Red" have
brought to numerous audiences a fine repertoire of folk
songs, spirituals and popular ballads.
At its inception the club com- negro spirituals, "Da Animals

Major General Lewis B. Hershey,
Director of Selective Service,
recently announced that
Selective Service will not make
any special provisions to give
students thirty days after the
end of their academic year to
enlist in the service of their
choice. He explained that such
arrangements are no longer necessary
because 1951 amendments
to the Selective Service Law
provide that students will now
be deferred rather than have
their induction postponed. This
will give them ample time after
the completion of their academic
year to enlist in the service of

Fairfield University's Sister Jesuit Institutions
School ,Of Jesuits Of Buffalo Mission Develops. Into Beautiful John Carroll University
lished, he is considered the first
father of St. Joseph's College.
Begins in Willing's Alley
St. Joseph's history began in
the small Willing's Alley in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
where, in September, 1851, a
group of 30 or 40 young men
collected to survey their new
surroundings; the new St. Joseph's
College. Around them
were Father Greaton's house of
1732, the new Church where his
chapel stood, and the newer College
building. The fame of the
new College spread quickly, and
soon student enrollment swelled
considerably. Eventually it became
evident that two factors
required the College to move to
new quarters. First, Willings Alley
was in a neighborhood already
heavily commercial, and
second, there was a great increase
in the size of the student
body.
An offer was made for St. Joseph's
to move to a ready-made
school which was larger and in
a better location and Father
Barbelin, the school's first president,
readily accepted it. Eventually,
though, such circumstances
as an increasing debt and
decreasing enrollment forced the
College to return to Willing's
Alley, and in 1860 the return to

solve several of their problems.
He helped correct the boiler
water conditions on the

for keeping the boilers

Professor Burke also developed
a fresh-water paint for

for the expensive red

Father Greaton who had watched
his city grow in wealth, commerce
and industry, science and
education "until it was second

Father Greaton who hoped longingly
that some day his Catholic
college "should modestly help it
to grow in grace."
Though Father Greaton passed

before his college was estab-through

One of John Carroll's 1951
graduates, Edward F. Carome,
is one of the first men from the
University to receive both his
Bachelor of Science and his
Master of Science deg-rees during
a four year period. He has
invented an Electronic Vibration
Meter, an instrument which
measures peak accelerations in
structures and refers them to a
standard index of damage. Mr.
Carome was recently voted one
of the outstanding men in Ohio
by Cleveland's Junior Chamber
of Commerce.

chorus raised in pride to the
fulfillment of a dream. For St.
Joseph's College in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, stands in solemn,
majestic testimony to the fulfillment
of the hopes and dreams
of a nobly humble priest, Father
Joseph Greaton, S.J., and a better
monument could not be
found elsewhere.
As early as 1740 Father Greaton
was planning the foundation
of his Jesuit college in the "city
of freedom." Though the actual
foundation of St. Joseph's must
made its mark on society. From
its halls have gone forth five
bishops, 29 monsignori, and
375 priests (including two past
presidents of the University).
Also eight judges, two county
prosecutors, 106 attorneys, 135
doctors, 75 dentists, and 50
tea~hers have John Carroll as
their Alma Mater!
Father Odenbach's Seismograph
FOTty-five years ago the first
seismograph to be installed in a
Jesuit university or college was
placed in operation at John
Carroll by the late Reverend
Frederick Odenbach, S.J. After
he had established this, Father
Odenbach concocted the idea
that a chain of such seismological
stations could be established
throughout the country and
possibly throughout the world
100 Year Old St. Joseph's College In Philadelphia
Is Fulfillment Of Dream Of " ohly Humhle Priest"
the noted seismologist, Reverend
Frederick· L. Odenbach,
S.J., established a Meteorological
Observatory at the school,
and in 1904 John Carroll became
one of the four Seismological
Observatories in the
country.
From 1902-19'15 a clear distinction
was made between the
high school and college departments
of the school, and classes
in Philosophy were s.dded to
the College curriculum. Then
after World War I the difficultv
of trying to conduct both high
school and college in the same
building became apparent, and
the present site of the University
was purchased.
Drive For Funds
After one unsuccessful drive
for funds, another camnaign was
launched with the assistance of
John J. Bernet, then President
of the New York Central Railroad,
and the resultant success
of this drivl'! enabled them to
break ground for the new buildings
in April, 1931.
John Carroll University suffe-
red the years of economic depression
as did all other institutions
in the country, and it
was not until 1935 that the
complete transfer to the new
campus w.as effected. Since that
date, John Carroll has more
than justified the vision and
foresightedness of those men
who brought the institution
through its difficult early years.

modern University Heights of Cleveland, Ohio, is in a
seotion which is one of the city's newest and most
restricted residential districts.
The buildings at John Carroll
are truly "architecturally
imposing and massive in size."
Two halls are the residences of
250 students, while two other
buildings are devoted entirely
to science. All these buildings
are completely furnished with
the newest and most modern
equipment.
The 65 acres of the University
are on ·a level with the top
scenic spots of Cleveland, and
the glistening walls of Gothic
design stand out majestically on
their site. The eight buildings
include, besides the previouslymentioned
science buildings and
residence halls, an administration
and classroom building, an
auditorium, an ROTC building,
and ,a field house.
Another residence hall, designed
to accommodate 214 students,
will be ready for occupancy
in 1952.

Fathers of the Buffalo Mission
came to Cleveland to build a
school. A wooden building was
constructed. and the new St.
Ignatius College opened its
doors of knowledge in September
of that year. (The name of
the College w.as changed in
May, 1923 to Cleveland University,
and again in September of
that year to John Carr,oll University.)

the original location was made.
During the Civil War, despite
the financial stringency and the
forced dropping of the Philosophy
class, student enrollment actually
grew rather than diminish.
Soon the War did take its
toll, though, and in 1868 enrollment
was reduced to 60, and
to still fewer in the 70's.
New Site Purchased
A. new College site was pur~
hased by Father Barbelin before
his death; a site comprising
gn entire city block in what
promised to be a fine residential
district. Work on the new build,-
ngs began in 1873 and construction
of the massive Gesu Church
was begun in 1879. After nine
years the Church was formally
opened for divine worship in
1888 and then ,with a gift of
$62,000 from the wealthy and
scholarly Francis A. Drexel, the
immediate task of building the
new St. Joseph's College could
be completed. Finally, in 1889,
the new doors of the new st.
Joseph's were opened and classes
were begun.

Sacrifices of Alumni
What is said of St. Joseph's
can be said of many other colleges
in the country. But for a
college of this size to have 12
members from the one Class of
'43A give their lives during
World War II seems strikingly
significant. In all, 50 of St. Joseph's
Alumni perished in World
War II!
Classmates of the dead Alumni
of '43A have placed a beautiful
statue of the Blessed Virgin
in the quadrangle of the College,
with the names of the deceased
heroic dead inscribed on its
pedestal as a lasting commemoration
of their great sacrifice.
Also the Alumni Memorial Hall
commemorates all the College's
soldier-heroes. This building was
blessed by His Eminence, Cardinal
Dougherty, in 1949.
Excells in Other Fields
St. Joseph's wasn't limited to
the armed services in making its
contributions to the United
States by any means. In other
fields of service, one of its first
students later became an Associate
Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States. He
was the Honorable Joseph McKenna
(Congressman from California,
the first of many Alumni
to serve in Congress) who was
later Attorney General in the
Cabinet of President McKinley.
It was President McKinley who
appointed him to the Supreme
Court.

1951 RED STAGS
By BOB JAY
Fairfield University's Red Stags dropped two out
of three games in the week before the mid-year examinations.
On Wednesday, January 9, they lost to a
superior Bridgeport University combine, 85-66, and
dropped another to lona College, 62-52, on January 11.
The lone victory of the week was scored at the expense
of the New Haven State Teacher's five on Saturday
afternoon, 61-54.
BRIDGEPORT 85,
FAIRFIELD 66
Fairfield's Red Stags were
handed their worst defeat of the
season by a powerful University
of Bridgeport five before a capacity
crowd in the Armory.
UB's great scoring trio of Gus
Seaman, Lou Saccone, and Dick
Labash were too much for the
Redmen as they combined to
score 60 points. Fairfield's top
scorers were Stan Sumhenski,
who played a great game, with
24 points and Bobby Gerwien
who tossed in 15. The Purple
Knights jumped to a quick 12-5
lead and were never headed although
the Stags threatened to
make a game of it in the early
minutes of the third period. The
Knights led 19-10 at the end of
the first quarter, 38-31 at the
midway point and 56-44 going
into the final stanza.
Seaman and Saccone were tremendous
under both boards and
many times had no opposition
in taking rebounds. Seaman led
all scorers with 25 points, Saccone
hit for 19, mostly from underneath,
and Labash added 15
more. Stan Silverberg and Marshall
Lowe scored 9 and 11 respectively.
Fairfield's Captain Joe Kehoe
scored 11 points while freshman
Freddie Lane scored eight. Bobby
Markovic was held to a lone
field goal, that coming late in
the game.

The visitors from New Rochelle

threatened by the hustling
Redmen. lana led 34-24 at the
half. Bob Santini threw in 23
points from Iona while his teammate

it wasn't until the final minutes

bounders, and both have the potential
to be truly great. At this
time Stan has the edge in experience
but give Bob a little
time and one more shot to go
with his excellent drive and he
will be practically unstoppable.
In these four men you have the
nucleus of a top flight team.
Thus far, we have been unable
to obtain a really good tall man.
So with this in mind, from the
bench must come the fifth man,
(possibly two men if the graduation
of Joe Kehoe in June is
taken into consideration). In my
opinion, one spot should go to
either Bill Smith or Paul Frauenhofer.
Both are good passers,capable
defense players, and
know the game inside out. However,
when both play together
the team lacks an adequate scoring
balance. After that comes
rough and tough Frank Fitzpatrick,
for his size the best rebounder
on the squad. Tom
Flynn and Jim Stapleton are
good rebounders and Tom has
the shots to be a capable scorer.
Fred Lane is the best driver on
the team, and his insertion into
the lineup provides lots of scrap
and hussle. Jack O'Connell has
an unstoppable jump shot, and
is a real offensive threat in a
ballgame. Finally comes George
Bozer, who in my opinion has
the best eye and more shots than
any player on the team. He could
very easily become a capable
performer. In conclusion I think
the bench is capable, and every
player has his place in a particular
situation in a ballgame.
Well, why is the team losing
games? Let's put the facts together.
The schedule is tough.
The team is young and on the
whole inexperienced. They are
not playing as a smooth cohesive
unit. The "breaks" have been a
little bad and injuries have hurt.
Finally the only real criticism of
the team, can be in the horrible
foul shooting throughout
the entire year. All I can say, as
an observer, is that the team is
a good one, and it will produce.
I would say that by the time
some of these boys become seniors,
they will be one of the top
teams in the East.

I would like to begin my first
column with a few words of
praise for my
predecessor,
Bernie Beglane.
During
his tenure, he
accomplished
a great deal.
He is the head
manager of
the basketball
team, the official
statistician
for the
club, and in the past was also
the publicity man for the entire
sports program at Fairfield. He
is president of the student Athletic
Association, and a very
active member of the senior class
and all its activities. When you
realize that Bernie commutes
daily from Woodside, Long Island,
I think you will agree that
he deserves much credit.
Now to turn to a subject that
everyone at this time seems to
be concerned with . . . the basketball
team. The question seems
to be, why is the team in the
midst of a terrible year, who
and what are responsible, and
how can the situation be remedied?
Well, a glance at the schedule
will show the first problem.
Ten of last years wins were
against small college opposition
and seven of these games are not
being played this season. Four
new teams are on the schedule
and each is a decidedly stronger
club than ours. The fact is that
our schedule this year is almost
twice as tough as last year.
Now, let us turn to the personnel,
keeping two things in mind:
First, the team with but one exception
is made up of freshmen
and sophomores, and second,
that ,the average age of the entire
team is but 19 years. Now to
the individual players: the lone
senior and captain is Joe Kehoe,
who, to say the least, is a prolific
scorer, as he has proven so
many times during the past
years. In Bob Markovic we have
as good a guard as you'll find
anywhere in the New England
area. Stan Suchenski and Bob
Gerwin are two very capable re-

THE STAG
"No, light, don't change-nuts!
This must be my day for ...
whoa, steady, that's it. Either I
get some more brake fluid or
take the floor boards out so I
can drag my feet-almost didn't
make it that time. Here they
come. The invasion is on."
The two mobs of pedestrians
who stood on opposite corners
anxiously awaiting the change
of the light stepped off the curb
and advanced towards each other.
There was an expression of
powerful determination set on
the face of each approaching individual,
the look that warned,
"get out of my way Billygoat
Gruff." The east bound versus
the west bound. A few of the
younger set, feeling the power
of the crowd behind them pushed
forward to lead the charge.
All sense of fear seemed to leave
them as the two human walls
came closer. Both armies were
about equal in strength. The
younger set constituted the front
lines, middle-aged women, burdened
with bundles and trying
to preserve their dignity in this
survival of the fittest environment,
filled the infantry ranks
and a few young girls and grizzly
old men completed the rear
flank. Within a few seconds the
gap would close and I instinctively
shut' my eyes at the
thought of collision. However,
contrary to military conformity,
there was no force of impact, no
conflict. The solid human wall
had dissolved on contact and the
heads of the pedestrians seemed
to bob in a sea of confusion.
The unifying expression of determination
was replaced by individual
thoughts. Some faces
told of pain, some excitement,
some said nothing.
"I pity these people who made
themselves slaves to machines.
The light says stop and they stop,
the light says go and they go.
Subconsciously they develop inferiority
complexes on occasion
with these machines and try to
release their tensions by challenging
one another in trivial
matters of courtesy. They've got
to prove their strength and their
superiority over the machines
which rule them. How simple
people are."
"Oh, come on light-let's go.
There's Jo Mac- haven't seen
him for a long time. Wonder
what he's doing in town? Look
at him. Just like all the rest in
such a hurry, racing against
time until a quick pace becomes
an obsession. Another slave to
machines."
As the light cautioned yellow
a cab pulled up along side of our
friends. "Oh, want to race, huh?
Well, just wait till that light
changes - I'll show you some
speed."
Please re-read this article and
time yourself. It should take you
about the same time as a one

then you have my sympathy and

For Law Students, the Admission
Tests will be held on the
following dates: Saturday, February
23, 1952; Saturday, April
26 1952 and Saturday, August
9, '1952. Numbered among the
examination centers are Boston
University, Columbia University,
Yale University and Harvard
University. The main bulletin
board contains the name of
additional centers. The test requires
no preparation or great
knowledge of subject matter.
Each applicant should procure a
bulletin release for detailed information
or registration, fees,
examination centers, reports of
scores, test content and sample
questions. To date, approximately
thirty seniors have responded.
A bit of advice, take the exam
as early as possible.
Rev. Francis X. Wilkie, S.J.,
Chairman of the Biology Department,
urges candidates for Medical
Schools to obtain their
Bulletin of detailed information
as to how, who, what, when and
why they should apply for graduate
work. This test is sponsored
by the Association of
American Medical Colleges and
is also administered by the Educational
Testing Service. This
examination will be given Saturday,
May 10, 1952 and Monday,
Nov. 3, 1952. If planning to enter
Medical School in the Fall, the
test should be taken in May.
It must be remembered that
while these tests are merely supplements
to admission, they usually
are of great advantage to
students. They test on general
scholastic ability, understanding
of modern society and achievement
in science. Remember, if
you intend to enter a Medical
College that is a member of the
Association of Medical Colleges,
it is recommended that you take
the exam. Do it today! Get your

Eagles Outplayed
The Nutmeg school had outplayed
the Boston institution in
the third period, but the height
and board control proved too
much to cope with in the last 10
minutes.
Daukas' 15 points led the victors,
while John Silk, Tim O'Connell
,and Duggan each added
14. Suchenski's 19 tallies was the
best single effort for Fairfield, as
Gerwien and Kehoe were next
in line with 12 and 10.
Breaks Cost Contest
A few bad breaks and some
'costly errors proved the undoing
of Fairfield at Manchester. After
holding a 48-40 lead midway in
the third period, the Stags began
to wilt under the scoring of
Charlie Duffley and Bob Leocha.
It was a push shot by Gerwien
with one minute and three seconds
left that tied the score at
~2-all at the end of regulation
time.
After careless play on the part
of both teams in the first two
overtime periods, Bob Davolio's
drive gave the Hawks a 73-71
lead at the very outset of the
action. Paul Frauenhofer counted
with a free throw for the
losers, and Bob Williams registered
the same for St. A's. Duffly's
three-pointer increased the
margin to 77-74. Tom Flynn tallied
a charity toss for Fairfield,
and with 15 seconds left, Bob
Stone posted what proved to be
the winning basket with a driving
layup as Jack O'Connell
,completed the scoring for Fairfield
with a basket as the buzzer
ounded.

before the time limit and sits
there humming with a confident
and condescending smirk on his
face. As you hopelessly wade
through the math, in the back of
your mind you mentally ask him
to step outside and revel in the
mental image of stuffing the entire
test, special pencil included,
down his throat.
A spot on the ceiling which,
during normal times hardly
commands a glance, assumes a
fascinating aspect during the
Chemistry section of the test.
You stare at it, mentally remove
it, replace it with a different
color and speculate as to its
origin.
A glance at the clock frightens
you back to the equations and
you whip through the rest of
them in frenzied haste, usually
picking a numerical sequence
which appeals to you-5-3-4-1-2,
5-3-4-1-2, and so on until the
firm voice of the proctor, directing
a reprimanding gaze directly
at you, tells you to place your
pencil down, close the book, turn
it over, etc.
The worst possible aspect of
these tests is when you discover
at the end that you are finished
with all the questions there are
still about fifteen spaces for
answers.
The American Educational
System is testing the student out
of existence. It has reached a
point where we take so many
tests we don't have time to completely
absorb any facts. When
they start coming out with objective
tests for ditch diggersthat's
when I turn in my "special

A teacher once remarked that
the objective tests sent out on a
national basis are made up on
the assumption that both proctors
and students are hopeless
idiots. The directions for taking
the tests take up almost as much
space as the tests themselves. I
remember taking one where the
directions provided for every
muscullar movement of the student
prior to the examination.
At the signal from the proctor,
turn the examination booklet
over. At another signal insert
your pencil (a special one) in the
right side of the booklet, etc. I
suffered horribly for about ten
(0) minutes since I had an itchy
nose and I could find no provision
in the directions for
scratching it . The questions in
these objective exams were obviously
designed to drive a
scrupulous student out of his
mind. The answer which appears
to be the correct one always is
incomplete or has a minor detail
incorrect in it. You feel after a
while like writing in the margin
-Well, number 5 looks pretty
good except, etc ... At the end
of about two (2) hours a normal
person is driven to closing his
eyes and guessing. The worst
part of these three (3) day long
tests is, believe it or not, the
intermission where you discover
that everybody generally agrees
that the answer to #457 was
number 3, and you clearly remember
putting down number 1.
And then of course, there is the
superior student sitting opposite
you, who is always finished well

Everyone has tricks and some
of the questions asked of you
may be "trial balloons" to find
out just how badly you want the
job. The man who knows what
he wants and can do the job,
usually wins out, if he has the
ability to take a stand and hold
it. If you think that the man on
the other side of the desk is
"handing you a line," give him
a line to chew on in return. Be
polite, but "be not too tame
either, suit the action to the
word, the word to the action."
The interview that we observed
was filled with a little propaganda
for the benefit of the
paper, but we were able to ascertain
one or two pertinent facts
about a company's point of view,
and we've listed them below:
1) They won't hire you, unless
they feel that you have better
than a 50/50 chance of success.
2) If they want you, your draft
status doesn't make any d~fference;
they'll hire you now, and
take you back when your service
days are over.
3) Any good company is willing
to listen to your point of
view and to take your domestic
situation into consideration.
4) An interviewer appreciates
honesty, sincerity, interest and
aggressiveness . However, the
"wise-guy" attitude gets you no
where except out the door, and,
on the other hand, too much
modesty is almost as bad. Be
proud of your accomplishments,
and show that you really believe
in yourself. If you don't, no one
else is going to.
There you have the observations
of two students. This article
was "un-censored and unsolicited,"
and it is just what
we say it is, our observation.
We feel that we learned something
from the interview, and
hope that from this article, our
readers did also.

PRESCRIPTIONS WLLEiD
In this article, we will attempt
to prescind from particular personalities,
either of the student
interviewed or of the interviewer.
It will be our intent to give
our impressions, as they occurred
to us, who had nothing to
lose or gain from the interview.
Let us suppose that you are
anxious to enter a particular
field, and that you are about to
be interviewed by a representative
of a leading company in
that field. Our first suggestion is
that you go to the Placement
Bureau or to the Public Library
and get as much information as
possible about that business and
the company. Be able to talk to
the com pan y representative
about his company; know what
you want to ask him, and if you
have a good question, be sure
that it is answered to your satisfaction.
Being a college graduate you
can offer as experience your education,
your extra-curricular activities
and your business experience.
The latter is merely a
"dressed up" name for any jobs
that you may have held during
your college career. While experience
in the field which you
hope to enter is the ideal, any
kind of job, showing that you
can get along with people, is a
point in your favor.
We mentioned extracurricular
activities, and undoubtedly some
of our Ii:'adcrs said "that old line
again." It may sound like an
"old line." but wait until the
man on the paying side of the
desk asks what you have done
with your "spare" time during
the four years that you were in
college. Every little bit helps,
but not to the extent that a man
should join everything in sight.
One or two things that a man
has really worked at, and shown
an interest in, can mean the difference
between getting the job
or a tkke~ on the next train.
As far as the applicant himself
is concerned, he should of course
Le neat and on time. After that,
a great deal depends upon the J. D. F.
individual. Remember that you
are, in a sense, trying to "sell" Cleaners and Tailors
