Day last spring which was very
successful, and consequently, it
has become a traditional event.
Purpose
The purpose of this College
Day, as explained by Fr. Mahan,
Asst. Dean, is to inform and en­courage
the high school senior to
continue his education in the
higher realm of the college. Nat­urally
it will also show these
high school seniors that Fairfield
can compete equally with any
college, and that a potential col­lege
student can discover his
career at Fairfield.
Date March 15
Invitations will be sent out to
many institutions and it is hoped
that these schools will cooperate
with us in giving their present
seniors an opportunity to see the
organic life of a college. The date
for this event has been set for
Sunday, March 15, from one to­five
p.m.
FR. MAHAN
Department Displays
One of the highlights of last
year's successful event was the
various department displays. It
is hoped that the various depart­ments
will encourage the clubs
and other organizations under
their jurisdiction to begin pre­paring
for this event now by
planning unusual and outstand­ing
displays. If we all get on
the team, we can help lessen
Fr. Mahan's burden and insure
a victory and a success.

College Day, 1953, Fairfield University is "snow­balling"
itself into action. Have you ever rolled a snow­ball
down the side of a hill and seen layer upon layer of
snow cling to it? From a little snowball you soon have
a larger and stronger ball of snow. So, too, from the
little "snowball" of ideas and plans the College Day set
for March 8 will have grown into a strong and forceful
event.
A Tradition
The gears and pistons have
spun into action. The mechanics
of this high powered event have
begun to turn and grind. From
Fr. Mahan's "drafting board" we
have the first inklings of the
plans to be arranged for this
year's College Day. As you know,
Fairfield held its first College

... and thai, my good students, is exactly what you are going
to shed, starting tomorrow when those age-old, groan-producing
yellow books. better known as the mid-year exams face "Les
Miserab1es".
This is the time when all those hours spent tipping the cup
of good cheer catches up with us. Like the good students that
we are, we will open the books of knowledge for the initial and
final time and start preparing for our respective exams with a
pot of black coffee and No-Doz pills.
As we herald the dawn with drooping eyes blurry from too
much smoke and reading, we solemnly vow, "Never again-From
now on I'm going to study every night."
Now, I wonder where I heard that before ... Oh yes, I
remember now ... I have made that vow everytime exams made
their unwelcome appearance during the past three years.

The Education club has made
plans to be host to a representa­tive
group from the Student Ed­ucation
Association of Connecti­cut.
Six colleges and universi­ties
are sending students to this
conference. A program of panel
discussions on subjects perti­nent
to undergraduate education
courses and a guest speaker has
been tentatively scheduled.
After the discussion, the mem­bers
will be taken on a tour of
the campus; an informal dance
will be held at Berchmans Hall
for evening entertainment. This
conference will be held today
at both Xavier and Berchmans
Halls and will begin approxi­mately
at four thirty.

The Italian Club is now en­deavoring
to broaden their edu­cation
while at the same time
creating for themselves what I
promises t 0 b e a cuI t u r a 1
achievement. The members of
the Italian Club have subscribed
to group membership in the
Metropolitan Opera Guild, the
cost of which is ten dollars.
The choice of repertoire, how­ever,
has not been decided, but
a list of distinguished operatic
performances is at their disposal,
among which are such works as
"Aida", "La Boheme", "Car­men",
"Don Carlo", "Lohen­grin",
"Madame Butterfly", "Par­sifal",
"Rigoletto", and "Samson
and Delilah".
Special student rates for the

Fairfield University's 1953 edition of the Winter
Carnival will get under way on Friday, Feb. 6, 1953,
with the winter formal at the Ritz Ballroom in Bridge­port.
The weekend will continue with a "weather-per­mitting"
skating party at Bellarmine Pond on Saturday
afternoon, the Arnold College-Fairfield University bas­ketball
game Saturday evening, and will conclude on
Sunday with a "reception-dance" in Berchmans Hall.
Lester Lamin's Band
Contracted for the sixth an­nual
formal is the Band of Lester
Lanin, famous for its popular
arrangement of the "Charleston
Rag", and heralded as the "so­ciety
and college house band" of
the nation. Popular throughout
the eastern states, Lanin's band
provides a careful blend of fast,
"blood-warming" numbers, such
as the Charleston, and the softer,
easier dancing fox - t rotsand
waltzes. Carnival Chairman, Jim
Farnham, feels that this band
will provide perhaps the most
danceable music that a Carnival
has ever beheld.
.Ice Carvings
Taking a prominent place in
the plans for the Ritz dance, will
be the popular ice carvings of
Mr. George Weising, Fairfield
Sculptor, which will appear both
at the entrance of the ball room
as well as providing an eye­catching
f100rpiece for the dance
floor. Dispensing with what some
have termed "a young tradition",
the Committee has decided, with
Student Council approval, to
institute in their stead, a family
of polar bears, cavorting about a
running water-fall, against a
win try background of pin e
bougs and ice Illuminating the
entrance of the Ritz, will be two
six foot carved, light bearing,
"Olympic torches", which prom­ise
to add a distinctive and ever
to be remembered dec 0 r for
everyone's "grand entrance'"
Queen To Be Chosen
Mid-way through the dance,
the selection of the Carnival
Queen will take place on the
bandstand. The selection of the
Queen, a young but sturdy tradi­tion
of the past five carnivals,
will be made by three members
of the Alumni Association and
their wives. The men, all mem­bers
of the Board of Directors of
the Alumni Association, together
with their wives will select both
the finalists and the winning
candidate The judges will be Mr.
and Mrs. William Heagney, Mr.
and Mrs. William Carrigan, and
Mr. and Mrs. James Flynn.

Saturday's "free of charge"

Debate Jan. 12
This year three inter-colle­giate
debates have been sched­uled
plus th~ intra-society com­petition
at the end of the year.
On Monday, Jan. 12, two mem­bers
w'ent to Good Council Col­lege
at White Plains to make the
first contest of the year. John
Buckley and J 0 h n Leonard
represented the Club that was
assigned to defend the affirma­tive
of the resolution.
Every' Wednesday sec 0 n d
period in room 306 a group of
ten men gather. Under the
direction of Assistant Professor
Arthur Reil, this group known
as the Saint Thomas More De­bating
Society, practices the
classical art of formal debate.
It is part of the Society's plan
to discuss current affairs as well
as to school itself in the subject
of the particular national topic.
National Topic
This year the national topic
is, resolved: 'That the Congress
of the United States should en­act
a compulsory fair employ­ment
practices law." With few
exceptions, the members have
all had the opportunity to debate
this topic under actual competi­tive
conditions. Each week four
men debate. while the other
members judge, criticize, ques­tion,
and in turn learn more of
the topic and, of course, of the
art.

On Friday, December 12, two teams from the
Bellarmine Debating Society vied with U.B. debaters in
a battle of wits on the national topic, "Resolved: That
the Congress of the United States should enact a Com­pulsory
Fair Employment Practices Law."
No Decision
Due to a lack of judges, no
decision was formally rendered
in both debates. However, one
judge in each contest offered a
criticism of the debaters' logic,
the content of their speeches,
their presentation and persua­siveness.
In this respect, Fair­field's
team were highly com­mended.
The Negative
The judge for the debate in
which John McDermott and Rob­ert
Petrucelli presented the neg­ative
case gave a general critic­ism
of it, viz. both sides tended to
deal in generalities and were not
specific enough in their speeches.
However, she did commend the
Fairfield men on their presenta­tion
of the case, especially their
use of concrete evidence and
effective audience contact,
which, she asserted, the opposi­tion
lacked. If a decision were
to be awarded, she concluded,
Fairfield would be the recipient
on the grounds that it presented
a more concrete case than the
affirmative of U. B.

Tradition?
"Which for memorial still with thee shall stay.
Without all bail shall carry me away,
My life hath in this line some interest,
When thou reviewest this, thou dost review
The very part was consecrate to thee.
The earth can have but earth, which is his due,
My spirit is thine, the better part of me.
So then thou hast but lost the dregs of life,
The prey of worms, my body being dead,
The coward conquest of a wretch's knife,
Too base of thee to be remembered,
The worth of that is that which it contains,
And that is this, and this with thee remains."

It would seem that a final word of thanks and appre­ciation
are due at this time ... due to the very many
individuals, faculty members, school employees, and
students, especially members of the Class of 1953, .who
have so thoughtfully and kindly aided us with our
chores in producing The STAG.
At times, we have been unreasonable, and again
wrong; at times we have been right, and we hope, suc­cessful.
Now, we have come to the end ofthe page, as
it were, the final issue. No more the work and fun of
screeching and straining to meet deadlines, no more the
anguished cry of "where's the copy?" or "delete!"; we
now leave that for our successors and wish them all the
success in the world.
Our final word, we quote from a better writer than
we can ever hope to be -
The group of forty Fairfield men who braved the
cold and rain and trekked through the snow to the
bonfire rally last Thursday evening manifested an ex­traordinary
exuberance and school spirit. To those
men who made the event possible, to Father Lyons, to
the cheer leaders, Tony Pagliaro, Walt Zackrison and
Bron Orlowski, to chairman Charles Waring, to Jack
Sullivan and Co., who provided the evergreens for the
fiery pile, to the students who huddled around the con­flcigration
and cheered the team, we are grateful.
. 'It is our fond hope and desire that the U.B. rally
will become a precedent, a tradition, in the future his-tory
of Fairfield University. R.P.

"STAG" burned helplessly. In
the ceremony that followed, one
of our star guards, Bob Mar.,
kovic, poured gasoline, and John
Doheny, who brought the
matches, was elected to ignite
the pile. After several feeble at­tempts
and failures the heap of
evergreens became a monster of
flame. Among s p 0 n tan e 0 u s
cheers, songs, spirits, and what
not, the M.C., John Sullivan was
dragged from the burning pyre
where he had been paradoxing
the death of Jeanne D'Arc, to in­troduce
a few of the celebriti€s
on hand. And a good time was
being had by all.
After the fire had really started
to blaze, the soggy but exuber­antly
happy crowd chanted their
slushy way back to the cafe.
Loud spoken lads became mute
and soft spoken lads became
hoarse, as they tripped into the
intersanctum. Here among more
cheers and hoots junior Walt
Zackrison gave his exciting in­terpretation
of an exotic orien­tal
dance accompanied by Sulli­van
and his trash-can Tom-Tom
ensemble while the eminent sen­ior
class prexy played ping-pong
More cheers and finally a snake
dance added a spirited denou­ment

As far as this corner is concerned, the loss to U.B. was
totally unexpected. It was taken for granted that the "Men in
Red" would wipe up the floor with a mediocre Seaside Park club.
What happened? Well, the Purple Knights played hard and
hustled all through the game. Their big three La Bash (23)
Saccone (13), Seaman (14) played the entire game without a
substitution. The only two subs that the opposition used (Silver­berg
and Aiello) were very important, because between them
they broke the game open with (9) points at crucial stages.
On our side of the ledger, as soon as Bob Markovic left the
floor, injured for the second time in the ball game, we had trouble
getting the ball over the ten second line. Jim Roche played well,
but with the big boy in the middle, it throws our driving game
out the window. Jack O'Connell is not as effective when playing
outside at guard; he was checked adequately by Dick La Bash.
There was also no outside shooting what-soever by the Stags,
therefore UB's defense easily floated in to further hinder our
inside men. Our subs didn't come through as well as they could
have. Fahey looked the best offensively. However the best ball
game on our side was turned in by Stan Suchenski who threw
12 points, rebounded well and did a good job on Gus Seaman
fer the greater part of the game.
Tp 'conclude, on this contest, let me say that the boys from
U.B. are in much better physical shape than weare at this stage
of the season. The game came too early on our schedule and our
big boys evidently needed a rest, while their club played almost
intact. That's the story.
This is the best ball club to ever represent this institution,
but they certainly haven't been playing that way thus far this
season. Against all opponents we play in spurts, in and out, hot
and cold. If we can't beat U.E. then how are we going to beat
the tougher clubs on the schedule, (at least six of which confront
us in the final half of the season)?
The lona game last night was a big one; a win over the Gaels
would really give the club the impetus to continue the second
half of the season in successful fashion. By now, we all know
the verdict and for the sake of the large crowd who journeyed
to New Rochelle "to follow the five", I hope they brought home
the bacon.
Going over the games played since the last edition, the St.
Michaels game was easy; the Northerners are rebuilding as
expected. The Le Moyne game could have gone either way. We
certainly didn't throw the game away. Both teams were evenly
matched, if there was any difference, it was in the substitutions.
They were able to substitute like a football team, while our crew
tired badly.
The Providence game was a good win; the Rhode Islanders
had one ball player, Bob Moran, who threw 25 points, and lookec'
like the best player we faced all year (including the .U.B. farce).
Memo to Bob Gerwien ... Bob, you'd better write a book
entitled "Life on the Foul Line". For the next couple of seasons,
you're bound to spend a lot of time 'on that line. Any club that
has us scouted is bound to foul you and gambl-e on your missing
the fouls, rather than give you the unstoppable drive ins.
To leave the varsity for this issue, congratulations to the
undefeated freshman club. They looked very sharp against the
UConn.-Wat'erbury branch and the U. B. J.V.'s. Lefty Hustak
has done an excellent job.
Speaking about the Freshmen ... What's the story on this
Freshman Dan Pisacane? He doesn't play on the Freshman team
.and has only appeared briefly with the varsity. He was all-state
at Shelton High and if he isn't good enough for varsity, why
not freshman ball?

Markovic returned to action
in the third period only to re­injure
his knee. He had to be
carried from the floor. The in­jury
suffered in mid-season last
year kept him out of action for
the latter part of the season and
its recurrence can b e a big
blow to the Stag's hopes.. The
crowd, a large one considering
the weather, was bi-partisan,
loudly so-the North End Boys'
Club tumbling team put on a
great half time show.
Last Period
Playing a desperate and often
over-eager game both teams
fought back and forth in the
last period with the Bridgeport
lead mounting, only to be cut
by the driving layups of Bobby
Gerwien and the push shots of
Jack O'Connell. The Stags still.
had a chance at the 29 second
mark, as the lead closed to 4
points. An intercepted pass and
a goal made it 65-63 with 16
seconds left and Bridgeport's
ball. A full court play, with Gus
Seaman scoring, iced the game
for UB, ending it 67-63.
Gerwien was high for the
Redmen with 14 points while
LaBash led the visitors with 23.
Stags Tire
The Stags again began to
move ahead in the third canto
but seemed to tire as the period
went on, and this factor, com­bined
with the inspired play of
the hard fighting Bridgeport
club earned the Seasides a small
2 point lead at the end of the
stanza.
Markovic Injured
Moving in sprints, the charges
of Jim Hanrahan took an early
10-3 lead but slumped badly as
the Knights tied it at 16 all at
the quar.ter mark. Getting off
once again to a good start the
Stags jumped to a 27-16 lead
with only five minutes gone. At
this point an injury to star guard
Bob Markovic hurt the playing
and shooting of the Stags and
the Purple came on to trail by
only 3, 29-26, at the half.
What To See

Rebounding has been lead by
Gerwien who has grabbed 57

Frosh Stags

Over Three
The Fairfield Frosh continued
their winning ways recently as
they added three more victories
to their increasing list. The
young Stags conquered Blessed
Sacrament CYO, the Waterbury
Freshmen, and the University
of Bridgeport JV's in recent
games. Coach Lefty Hustek's
squad has won six times with­out
defeat.
The latest victory over Bridge­port's
JV's was especially sweet
since F'airfield was able to sal­vage
one of the two games
played with our neighborhood
rivals. The game was a see-saw
affair until the freshmen pulled
away at the three minute mark
and won by four points. Pao­letta
led the Frosh with 13
points, while Joe Butler scored
23 for the Knights. Jimmy Pavel,

Father John D. Crowley, S.J.,
Professor of Psychology, guest
speaker on the "Fairfield Inter­prets
the News" program on
WICC discussed the ramifica­tions
and obligations of the
Natural Law. Father Crowley
outlined the way God placed
man so that man is responsible
to Him in all his activities under
the moral law. Under the obli­gation
man is placed upon his
own with the gift of free will as
opposed to the compulsion that
draws the rocks, plants, and
lower animals into line with the
physical law.
There are adversaries to this
principle, Father Crowley went
on to point out. The Individual­ists
who recognize four orders
laws such as: the Ecclesiastical,
the Civil, the Moral, and the
Economic, but who give pri­mary
importance to the Eco­nomic
laws and therefore deny
anything that might interfere
with this. Collectivists, on the
other hand d,eny anything that
isn't based upon the material
aspect of life and will destroy
anything that impedes its pro­gress.
Both these schools, in fact,
tend to justify many of the evils
in today's world: genocide, war,
and godlessness. Father Crow­ley
stressed that the sooner we
realize the attendant dangers of
these philosophies, the sooner
will we be able to realize peace.
Mr. Chester Stuart, Assistant
Professor of Education and Ger­man,
discussed the topic of the
"Educational Witch Hunt" over
station WICC on Fairfield In­terprets
the News, last Sunday.
Mr. Stuart stressed the diffi­culties
that we are facing in our
attempt to rid our educational
system of Communists influence.
He agrees with this end; he is
very concerned with the means
employed to achieve it.
He insisted that we should
never, in our anxiety, promote
anything that might interfere
~;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;~;;;;;;;;;;;;~;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;I;w;~ith our American heritage of r freedom of speech, discussion,
and publication. As an alterna­tive,
it was proposed that our
educators become conscious of
their obligations. By this Mr.
Stuart meant that they should
use as criteria competent schol­arship,
knowledge of subject
matter and ability to avoid di­gressions
into unstudied person­al
experience. If this is done, he
feels that our democracy will
not die from lack of information
or from internal forces aiming
at its destruction.
Applause, cheers, and then a
word from our sponsor . . . .

What happened to the Stags
in the second half of the Le
Moyne game? The Men in Red
were leading the Dolphins from
New York by five points at half
time but the visitors opened up
and went far ahead in the early
minutes of the third period. Per
haps, it was the extra reserve
strength of LeMoyne that over
come the tiring Stags. Lf so, why
were our reserves, namely Jim
Roche and Norb Fahey, kept on
the bench for almost the entire
game while the Dolphins had
fresh reserves in action much
of the time? On the following
night, however, the Stags looked
good in beating Providence, with
Roche playing a good game
while LeMoyne was trounced by
Seton Hall.
Paul Frauenhofer played a
good game against Providence
Whitey looked great while
handling the ball and keeping it
away from the entire Friar team
during the final seconds of the
game. Bobby Markovic also put
on a great show for the home
town fans, especially during the
first half when he scored 14
points.
Bernie Beglane, former Stag
sports editor, who now is a
sportswriter for a Long Island
paper thinks that Fairfield
stands a good chance of beating
St. Francis. The Brooklyn Tel'
riel's have been getting their
lumps this season even though
they were rated as on!= of the
top teams in the east. Don't let
this fool you, however; any team
six with players like Vern Stokes
and Bob Dauberschmidt is al
ways tough and can beat any
body when they are playing
together
Another word of praise for the
fine spirit displayed by the en
tire student body. The crowds r--------------.,Iat all the games so far are am
pIe reward for all those con
nected with the basketball team
The cheering too has been good
with several organized groups
starting it. Visiting players are
really impressed by Fairfield's
school spirit. Congratulations,
let's keep it up.
A big question at all the
games is why doesn't Danny
New Pisacane play, if not in varsity
contests, then at least freshman
games. Dan was one of the best
high school players in the .state
last season and he can probably
become a valuable asset to Fair
field with a little experience,
which he is not getting while
sitting on the beach. Dan has
two much talent to be wasted
and I feel he should play Fresh
man ball if Coach Hanrahan
does not feel he is ready for the
varsity.
What about that Bevo Francis
of Rio Grande College? The big
freshman has tossed in over 700
points during his first 16 games
for an average of 47 points a
game. The 6'-9" center's highest
output was 76 points, not bad
for a freshman, huh?
How about getting plans ready
for the Spring intra-mural pro­gram?
Now is the time to pre­pare
for the softball league and
the golf and tennis tourneys if
there are going to be any. Last
year, students were left to find
some place to play at the last
minute and none of the leagues
were completed.

Program
The campus visitors will be
subjected to the Glee Club's
"warblings" which is by no
means an ordeal. They scored a
big hit in the success of last
year's College Day program.
Another feature of this year's
outstanding program is the new
Fairfield University movie film.
Perhaps you have been won­dering
who has been traversing
about the school and campus
for the past year grinding away
with his little black box. Well,
this has all been part of a pro­ject
to help publicize the school.
From the film taken of the
school. its activities, and cam­pus,
a special movie has been
made. It will be shown on Col­lege
Day.
Support Needed
Last year many students of­fered
their support and interest
in this project by acting as ush­ers
and guides for these high
school young men. Weare again
asking for their support and
cooperation. How can the whole
student body help and be on a
winning team? You can help
. . . and you . . . and you by
publicizing the College Day in
your respective home town. En­courage
high school seniors to
attend and explain the program
and what it has to offer. Beg,
plead, or cajole, but get them
there on March 15.
Before you sell a product you
must advertise it, familiarize
the public with it, point out its
merits and its bad points. Thus
it is with college education and
more proximately with a young
school like Fairfield. You are
the salesmen. So let's run your
sales record to the limit. What
is your goal and reward? Your
riches will come when your vis­ion
of sprawling colleges and
a university dotting this campus
materializes into a reality.

The Red Stags made their an­nual
invasion into Waterbury a
successful one as they defeated
Providence College 73-65. A
crowd of almost 2,000 watched
the Redmen play their finest
game of the season against the
undermanned Friars.
Bobby Markovic was outstand­ing
before his hometown fans,
playing a great game on both
offense and defense before foul­ing
out in the final period. He
and Bob Gerwien were top
scorers for the Stags with 18
points each, while Stan Suchen­ski
followed with 13 and Jack
O'Connell with 10. Jack Moran
led the visitors with 25 points,
many on long set shots.
The Friars started off by scor­ing
two points on foul shots by
Kerr but O'Connell tied things
up with a one handel' and Bob
Markovic followed wit h five
quick points The Stags held on
to their lead until midway in
the second period when hoops
by Moran and Pendergast pulled
the Friars to within one point' of
the leaders. Big Jim Roche then
caged a pair of arcing set shots
to put the Stags well ahead once ­more.
In the last quarter Fairfield
pulled steadily ahead, with Ger­wien,
O'Connell and Suchenski
doing most of the scoring. Frau­enhofer
and Bush played a good
floor game.
In the final minutes an all
court press employed by the
Rhode Islanders heckled the
Stags, but the time ran out.
Moran, K err and Mu 11 ins
sparkled for the losers.

Alumnus Mullen
Stresses Golden­Age
of Medicine
HAROLD MULLEN
"We have rached the Golden
Age of Internal Medicine when
a drug can be taken which will
go to the core of an infection
immediately; an age which has
come about with no little help
of research made possible by
large pharmaceutical corpora­tions."
With this statement Mr.
Mullen concluded the first phase
of his talk before the Mendel
Club of Fairfield University. This
was the first tim e t hat an
Alumnus has addressed the Bio­logy
Club. He is now working
with the Upjohn Corporation as
a pharmaceutical salesman. Mr.
Mullen was a member of the
Honor Society, President of the
Student Council and an active
member in Campus activities.
He is presently an officer in the
Alumni Association.
Mr Mullen went on to stress
the necessary qualifications in
his profession He spoke espe­cially
of the necessity of enjoy­ing
the work one does, stressing
the need of a guidance service
such as is provided at Fairfield.
"A man who would look with
indifference upon Medicine or
Teaching will often wonder
what else one can do with his
Biology training. Then a man
discovers my field where he can
start off at 350 dollars a month,
be constantly in touch with an
educated class of people. It is
little wonder that a pharma­ceutical
salesman is a happy
person.' '
He spoke briefly on the im­portance
of a good application
in applying for a position. He
also explained the policy of
many companies who prefer to
hire Catholic college graduates
for they tend to be more ethical
and efficient.

Sophomores
Seek Means
For Funds
Last week the Sophomore class
held its second meeting of the
year. Paul Tremont, president,
was anxious to initiate some pro­gram
whereby the class might
be able to enlarge its treasury.
He also wanted discussion upon
the forthcoming F l' e s h men ­Sophomore
Talent Night.
Suggestions
Several suggestions were made
that seemed to merit further
stu d y by committees: Gerald
Coiley suggested the possibility
of sponsoring a combination card
party-record hop. He pointed out
that this has been done success­fully
by 0 the l' classes. John
Leonard suggested the idea of
a small publication of stories or
sketches of prominent members
of the student body or of the
faculty. The subjects of the stor­ies
would not be named and for
a quarter ($.25) members of the
student body could purchase the
right to determine the persons
who are being sketched. Paul
Tremont hopes to initiate these
and other sound suggestions that
the class offers.
Tale-nt Night
There was discussion upon the
forthcoming Talent Night and
several members of the class
volunteered to assist Charles
Connors with the final touches
of the program. The possibility
of the class holding a dance
sometime before Lent was also
referred to committee; the class
feels an obligation to their cor­responding
cIa s s at Albertus
Magnus for the hospitality shown
them last fall. This can only be
done, however, if it will not be
beyond the financial resources
of the cl~ss.
The meeting was conducted
nicely and the general attitude
was an improvement over that
of last fall. It is urgent that all
sophomores coo per ate in the
class attempt to find a source
of income.
