" Vol. III-No.9 Published By Students Of Fairfield University February 2L 1952 April 24 Selective Service Test All eligible students who intend to take the Selective Service College Qualification Test in 1952 should file applications at once for the April 24 administration, Selective Service National Headquarters advised today. An application and a bulletin of information may be obtained at any Selective Service local board. Following instructions in the bulletin, the student should fill out his application immediately and mail it in the special envelope provided. Applications must be postmarked no later than midnight, March 10, 1952. Early filing will be greatly to the student's advantage. Results will be reported to the student's Selective Service local board of jurisdiction for use in considering his deferment as a student, according to Educational Testing Service, which prepares and administers the College Qualification Test. Since the original system for collecting the student assessment fee has not been effective, the Student Council has devised a new system whereby that one day will be set aside for the collection of the fee. On the day designated, representatives of the Student Council will be stationed at all the entrances to Xavier Hall before the first period in the morning. This plan has the approval of the Dean of the College, and the Council has arranged a publicity program so that all students will know of the plan. There is a complete record of those who have paid and they will be able to enter the building by either presenting their receipt or by giving their name to the representataive. The reasons for the Student Assessment Fee have been reemphasized by Student Council President Harold Mullen. The Student Council has financial obligations beyond its current sources of income and with the growth of the school, the responsibility of the council has increased. Dues to the N.F.C.C.S. must be paid. There are gifts and loans to classes and activities. Through the suggestion of the Italian Club, the Council is considering joining the Metropolitan Opera Guild so that students of Fairfield may receive reduced rate tickets. The Student Council has adopted this new plan because it will give everyone an opportunity to pay the fee and it will immediately supplement the Council treasury. Dr. Ross Hoffman To Lecture Here Next Thursday Final Collection Day For Student Fee February 27 The Student Council has informed The STAG that Wednesday, February 27, 1952, has been set aside as the "final" collection day for the Student Fee of one dollar. On that day, representatives of the Council will be stationed at each entrance to collect the dollar from all those who have not paid. DR. ROSS HOFFMAN The third in an extended series of lectures, honoring the name of Cardinal Robert Bellarmine will be presented next Thursday during the sixth period in the auditorium of Berchmans hall. Doctor Ross Hoffman, noted political scientist and literary author will place Edmund Burke into an honorable niche in the great Catholic tradition by means of a lecture entitled, "Burke and the Catholic Tradition." Dr. Hoffman was born in 1902 and has been for many years Professor of Modern History at Fordham University. He received his Doctorate in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania and holds honorary degrees from Villanova, Marquette, Fordham and Detroit. At one time, Dr. Hoffman was president of the Catholic Historical Association. Numbered among this author's many books are: Great Britain and the German Trade Rivalry, 1934; Restoration, 1934; The Will to Freedom, 1935; Tradition and Progress, 1938; The Organic State, 1939; The Great Republic, 1942; Origins of the Second World War (with C. G. Haines), 1943; Durable Peace, 1944; Burke's Politics (with P. Levack), 1949; The Spirit of Politics and the Future of Freedom, 1951. Hartford Club Announces Plans For Scholarship Father Mahan, Asst. Dean of Freshman at Fairfield University, has acknowledged a letter received from Fred Roback, secretary of the Hartford Area Club, which stated that the club has successfully completed its scholarship purse and is prepared to present it to the school for the next Fall term. The scholarship is for five hundred dollars and will be awarded to a deserving college aspirant (or aspirants) of the Hartford Area. Although plans are not yet completed, the Hartford Club is working in conjunction with the administration to determine whether the fund should be awarded to one applicant or to divide the scholarship between two or more persons, thus giving more than one high school graduate the opportunity to attend college. This is the first scholarship offered by the Hartford club and it is intended to be granted annually providing that the fund raising programs are as successful as they have been in the past. The chief source of revenue has been the Fairfield University Glee Club Concert presented annually at Hartford under the sponsorship of the Hartford Area Club. It is expected that the Fairfield legislators will once again be a very influential factor in the C.I.S.L. session as several Fairfield men hold legislature chairmanships. John Relihan '52, will act as Chairman of the Education Committee while John Keegan, '53, and Ronald Homza, '53, will serve as Chairmen of the Constitutional Amendments and House Welfare Committees. James Aspinwall, '52, by virtue of his position as Rules Director, has controlling jurisdiction over the Bills, Procedure, Representation and Registration Committees. It must be added that the success of the Public Affairs Club is due largely to the active enthusiasm and interest of Rev. Gabriel Ryan, S.J., moderator of the club. Committee member delegates include: House Agriculture and Elections, Tim 0 thy Cronin; House Finance and Appropriations, Thomas Martin; House Judiciary, Glenn Hawman; Senate Labor, John Fray; House Motor Vehicles and Liquor Control, Horace Bridgewater; House Public Welfare, John Boyle. Public Affairs Club Solons; "fto Attend CISL At State Capital On Thursday, March 6, a contingent of Solons from the Public Affa~rs Club will travel to the State Capitol in Hartford to represent Fairfield University at the annual session of the Connecticut Interscholastic Student Legislature. Eighteen Connecticut colleges are sending representatives to this session which adjourns on Sunday, March 8. The C.I.S.L" an educational endeavor, offers college students the experience necessary for a practical understanding of the political activities of the General Assembly. It enables them to take part in activities which are of a similar nature to the workings and proceedings of the Connecticut State Legislature. This year Fairfield's representatives will expend their energies in committee rooms and on the assembly floor to introduce and pass three pieces of legislation: The first bill endeavors to proclaim elction day as a legal holiday with the purpose in mind of increasing the voting percentage of the eligible voters; To insure safer working conditions for the working man, the second bill submitted will require any employer who employs 50 or more employees to have a medical doctor or a registered nurse in attendance at all times that employees are at work; The final draft provides for the recognition of public school teachers' representatives for collective bargaining purposes and for the arbitration of disputes. From one Joe to Another Congratulations, Joe! U.S. Marine Corps Announces Program For Undergraduates Undergraduates of Fairfield University are eligible for enrollment in the Platoon Leaders Class Program of the Marine Corps. This program leads to a commission as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve upon graduation and requires the minimum amount of service prescribed by law, twenty-four months, after date of commission. The principal advantages of this program are that it guarantees the student's college career, it requires only two summers of training (6 weeks each summer with pay), it does not require any military training during the aca'demic year, it gives five months additional training after date of commission. By HARRY MARMION On Friday night, February 9, 1952, Joe Kehoe became the first Fairfield basketball player to hit 1,000 points. The foul shot which gave him the record was made in the second quarter of the game between "The Stags" and St. Francis College of Brooklyn. The game was stopped momentarily and Coach Hanrahan presented Joe with the game ball. The large crowd in attendance gave him a tremendous ovation as the announcement was made. At half time, Joe McEnany, president of the Senior class, presented Joe with a trophy from the Senior class. When Captain Joe made the ---------------------------select circle of 1000 point scores, it was after four years of earnest effort on behalf of the team, through the four seasons, the totals ran, as follows: In freshman year, Joe led the first varsity team in the school's history with 307 points in 23 games for a season's average of better than 13 points per game; in his sophomore year, Joe again lead the team with 233 points in 23 games for an average of a little Continued ,on Page 5 Page 2 THE STAG February 21. 1952 * PHOTOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT John Malakie, '53 Editor Joseph Pander, '53 MAKE-UP DEPARTMENT Timothy Cronin, '53 John Klimas, '53 James Hannan, '53 FEATURE DEPARTMENT Robert Petrucelli.

'52 "THE ACTS OF ASCENDING AND DESCENDING THE SAME FLIGHT OF STAIRS ARE NOT INHERENTLY EVIL, NOR ARE THEY CONDUCIVE TO EXCESSIVE CONFUSION OR LOSS OF TIME" PROOF OF FIRST PART OF THESIS: If the stairs were built not only for ascending but descending, then they have a potency for both acts, which may not be considered evil. The stairs were built for ascent and descent. Therefor'e- MAJ:: Any potency for an act or the fulfillment thereof, is a perfection, not an evil. While it is true that the stairs themselves do not possess the ability to climb up and down themselves, the potency in this case, it must be concered, is more of the nature of an invitation. Even the most abandoned skeptic will concede that a flight of stairs yearns, almost begs, to be climbed and conversely they do likewise to be descended. It depends of course whether a person is at the top or bottom. MIN.: Upon consultation with recognized experts in the field of building stairs, it is found that they are in unanimous agreement that stairs are built both for going up and coming down. In fact, upon raising the question to a carpenter, the interrogator may receive the answer "What are ye, a wise guy?" and receive a hammer in the cranial structure for his trouble. PROOF OF SECOND PART OF THESIS: Descending and ascending the same flight of stairs are not conducive to excessive confusion nor loss of time if these acts expedite passage from classroom to classroom. But they do expedite passage. Therefore- MAJ.: Evident. MIN.: This is evident from experience. Many a time and oft, has a student, pushed by the milling throng and lost in meditation, descended beyond his destined floor. In such a case said student was forced to go all1lhe way to the basement, fight his way through a solid mass of masticating humanity and, besplattered with food, make his way up a flght of stairs at least two leagues distant from his place of descent. On the other hand if he were allowed to retrace his steps, much time and energy would be saved and possibly, he might reach class on time. COR.: Moreover, when a student is not left the choice of ascent or descent on a given flight of stairs, it tends to destroy his initiative; his ability to make decisions. He becomes one of the herd and follows the crowd. SCHOL.: Descending the stairs against an ascending crowd is a wonderful form of athletic expression. It can be safely held that a person who has managed to reach the corroded atmosphere of the basement after a descent from the top floor is blessed with the talents of a professional fullback. DIFFICULTY: "Ascending and descending the same flight of stairs" is a contradiction." Therefore- ANSWER: (Tch, Tch, Father, such sophistry!) Descending and ascending at the same time is a contradiction, we admitalthough it has been this author's experience to seem to do both. We distinguish the statement and admit it only if the time is considered. CF. VOLTAIRE, DESCARTES, KANT and HUME. Avoid CUNNINGHAM and that nasty universal skepticism. Business Club To Hold Dinner; Pians Activiti,es The Business Club, at is recent campus meeting, announced its guest speaker for the month of February. The Club will be host to Mr. Manuel Rodriquez, Purchasing Agent for Remington Rand, Inc., Shaver Division. The dinner meeting will be held Wednesday, February 27th, 6:30 p.m., at the Hitching Post Inn, Bridgeport. Mr. Rodriquez will speak to the Club members and their guests about the "Methods used by a Purchasing Agent in modern Business." In addition to his duties at Remington Rand, Mr. Rodriquez is very active in the Bridgeport area. He is a member of the Purchasing Agents' Association here in Bridgeport and currently president of the Foremen's Association at Remington. As a purchasing agent he is considered an authority in the field and has written several magazine articles on the subject. He also speaks extensively to business groups. Prior to assuming his position at Remington Rand Mr. Rodriquez was associated with General Electric Inc. for several years. The February dinner meeting was among several items mentioned at the campus meeting by Board Chairman John Mester. A tentative schedule for the remainder of the year was outlined and upon confirmation from the Board of Directors will be published. Included in this schedule was a Club Social which is under investigation by a committee composed of John Connell, Ronald Hunts, Robert Walsh, Owen Groark, and Joe Gabriel. The election of Club Officers for next year was also discussed and it was agreed that nominations would be in order the last Wednesday of April with the election the first Wednesday of May. Harold Mullen, President of the Student Council, has announced the formation of a committee to draw up a constitution for the Student Council. The committee includes nine Council members and four men from the Student Body. Those appointed are as follows: Robert Walsh, Robert Conroy, John H. Welch, Thomas Bepko, Timothy Cronin, Paul Tremont, Gerald Leblanc, John Whalen, John Leonard, John Relihan, Dominic Autuori, William McGrath and George Jaeser. The Council has received, through the courtesy of the Albertus Magnus Student Government and the NFCCS a number of constitutions as well as a model constitution, and it is expected that these will be used as a basis for the Fairfield document. Mullen also invited any member of the Student Body who feels that he could contribute to the Constitution to attend the meetings which will be held commencing next week. Mullen Appoints Committee To Form Club were present to welcome the visiting supervisors and to escort them on an extensive tour of the classrooms and science laboratories. At Bellarmine faculty house, the guests were greeted by Rev. Joseph Fitzgerald, S.J., Rector of the Universitiy and following lunch were addressed by Rev. Lawrence Langguth, S.J., Dean of the College, Rev. T; Ecverett McPeake, S.J., Chairman of the Education Department and Dr. Maurice Rogalin, Director of Teacher Training. The Student Council On Thursday, February 14, the Education department of Fairfield University played host to the Southern Fairfield County Superintendents Association, at the monthly meeting of the organization, held in Berchmans Hall. The Association, composed of sup;rintendents from Connecticut schools, assembles once each month to discuss major problems which are of common concern to teachers. Upon arrival of the Association, members of the Education An Aside to the Captain - from the Editors and Staff of The STAG: Congratulations on hitting the 1,000 point mark in intercollegiate basketball! To use a time honored, but ,appropriate cliche: "It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy." Education Club Plays Host To School Heads negative. In the first place the Council is usually criticized not for things which it does, but rather for things which it does not do. In fact it is often accused of doing nothing at all. The second characteristic is also negative; we have yet to hear any constructive criticism dir~cted towards the Council. It seems that many disagl'ee with its operation, and yet none offers suggestions for improvement. Such a criticism is of little use; it shows faults, but does not offer improvements; it tears down, but leaves no plans for rebuilding; it shows the errors of the past, but does not attempt to correct them. Now, why has the Council been so criticized? Underlying this criticism there are two basic motives. First, the Council is limited in its power and authority. We would not expect the Student Council to set academic requirements, and yet many times it is expected to intervene in matters which are just as clearly in the hands of the Administration. We must realize that its scope is limited. We feel that this is as it should be; that the Council should only have control over the minor and the social problems of our school life while the more important phases rest in the hands of the Administration. Secondly, the Student Council has been limited in the financial field. During the past two years the Council has been losing money at such a rate that its treasury would be bankrupt by the end of this school year! The sources of income are few and small, while the mouths of expenditures are many and large. Many projects .the Council could not undertake because it lacked the necessary funds. And so it proposed the Student Tax to alleviate this situation. This, we feel, is a step forward, a constructive method of solving its major problem. If this program is succesful we feel there will be a definite impl'ovement in the operation of the Student Council. In the past we have -criticized, but offered no improvement. At Jast a solution has been put forth and if we are to expect an improvement we must support the means of attaining it. We do not say that the criticism directed towards the Council has been completely unjust. We do claim, however, that this criticism has been negative, that little thought has been given to the problems of the Council, and that the Student Tax offers, at least, a partial solution of these difficulties. In the past there has been much criticism of our Student Governn:ent.

Values Scientific Study Seattle carries out the traditional practice of the Church and of the Jesuits in regard to the importance laid to the pursuit of scientific work. The intention of both the Church and of the Jesuits in regarding science as of prime importance and of great necessity is that, through such efforts, "valuable contributions might be made to the upbuilding of the Body of Christ." Because of this the Jesuits have trained the members of their Society "not only in the preparation of the altar, but also in a learning and culture adequate to combat modern errors." The present faculty at Seattle bears out this strong conviction. Ten of its departments are staffed with men holding Doctor of Philosophy degrees. These men, and those others who make up Seattle's teaching staff, are helping to make the University "a center of learning from which a greater understanding of the Faith will flow." Seattle University is the focal point for students from lands and states near and far. Its students come from all parts of this country, from Alaska, the Philippines, and from Hawaii. Such remote places as Sweden, Belgium, Italy, and South America are represented on this Washington campus also. Such graduates can be found in trades and professions throughout the world, carrying the spirit they received at Seattle wherever they may go. In all there are at least ten foreign countries and twentyeight states of the Union represented in Seattle's student body and alumni. ent location for their new school. Closed in World War I During World War I the classes in the college had to be suspended for the duration of the war, but in 1919 classes of ::;'eattle College High School were moved to a new site. Then in 1931 it was decided that the high school and college should be separated, and the College was returned to its original building. Seattle University of today is a far cry from the original school of the two Fathers. Today it offers more than 200 subjects and awards degrees in the School of Commerce, in the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Education, the School of Nursing, the School of Engineering, and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Seattle also offers a full-time night school. The teaching staff at the University numbers more than 150 religious and lay teachers. The campus is comprised of seven on-campus buildings, a veteran's housing unit, and a gymnasium. There are seven resident halls for women and three for men. I Seattle is a co-educational II university with a scholastic year .divided into four seasonal p2r-iods, the Fall, Water, Spring, and Summer quarters.

Such plans provide the added training needed to supplement the theoretical tr,aining of the students. . Marquette's college of Liberal Arts is, of course, the "hub of the University."

All these are famous in their own right, and -though individually their lives and interests vary, they have one thing at least in common. All are former students a,t Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Marquette points to them with pride. Marquette is a university with 38 buildings, one of which is a recently completed five-story edifice, and three other buildings are now under construction.

This school of journalism is the only Catholic journalism school listed among the accredited schools of journalism in the U.S. Marquette has the nation's largest one-room dental clmic, a room containing 152 dental chairs! Residents of Milwaukee may take advantage of this dental service, as well as of the speech and eye clinics maintained on the campus.

Father F'itton had established the Seminary of Mt. St. James on a hill known as Pakachoag, the "Hill of Pleasant Springs" in 1843, ,and it was this institution that was presented by Father Fitton to Bishop Fenwick. Thus it was here that Bishop Fenwick determined to build his long dreamed of college. In naming the new colle·ge Bis,hop Fenwick bestowed on it the name of his Cathedral, with the motto and emblem of the Boston Diocese . . . a cross in the heavens. This symbol is well-known from the historic legend of the appearance of the cross in the sky to Emperor Constantine. Invites Jesuits to Teach With the site and buildings for his new college now an actuality, Bishop Fenwick next turned to his sole remaining problem, namely, who was to teach there? He invited the Fathers of the Society of Jesus to organize the courses of study according to the curricula of their already established college at Georgetown, and gave them complete control of the teaching. Classes were begun in 1843 and were held in the seminary building, and in 1844 the first college building was completed.

In conclusion let me state that the select group of basketball players that hit the 1000 point mark, hardly ever includes a slender, six foot forward. Rather they are usually the seven foot tall variety that has but to stand under the hoop and dunk the ball through. I think that when you realize these things it makes Joe's feat much more impressive. Naturally, it is safe to assume that others will arrive at, and most probably exceed the final figure that Joe accounts for. However, it seems to me that Captain Joe's figure will stand alone as a tribute to a good basketball player, and a great guy. Fairlield 65. New Haven 51 The Red Stags, with Bobby Gerwien throwing 28 points, defeated the Owls of New Haven State Teachers College, at the Armory, 65-51, Friday night. The Stags opened up an eleven point lead in the first two periods, after Gerwien had broken an early 3-3 tie and were never headed thereafter. Coach Jim Hanrahan used ten players in the contest as the Fairfield Five coasted to their seventh triumph of the campaign. The Men in Red scored only one more field goat' than the Teachers but counted for 17 out of thirty foul shots, as against five out of twenty-three for the visitors. Al Karpinski was the leader for New Haven with 12 points. In the preliminary game, the Fairfield Prep five defeated the Junior Varsity, 57-54. Kehoe had given Fairfield a 4941 lead, the Teachers bounced back strongly. With Henkel being the main offensive star, they crept within two points 51-49. Finally, baskets by Lane and Kehoe put The Stags ahead again and the final whistle saw our club the victor. Fred Lane was the offensive star for the winners with 19 points, followed by Suchenski with 15. Henkel and Deneen starred for New Britain.

The Men in Red although ahead practically the whole contest, were given a scare in the final three minutes of the last quarter. After a late spurt by Lane and CONGRATS, JOE Continued from Page 1 better than 10 points a game; in Junior year he accounted for 304 points in 26 games and his average was again a commendable 11% per encounter; he entered this year with 156 points to go and his average as of the St. Francis tilt was a little over 11 points a game. Although it took Joe four seasons to amass the total, several facts must be considered. Throughout the first two seasons Joe carried the entire offensive burden practically alone. The schedule in those seasons was a very strong one including many of the :top small colleges in the east. With the influx of new talent in the last two years, Joe, has not found it necessary to shout as much as before and he has become a fine floor player and a smoother all around performer. Naturally his average has risen accordingly and in several games this year he has shot around the 50% mark, The Red Stags crept closer to the five hundred mark last week, as they garnered their second win in three games, defeating the New Haven State 'Deachers, 65-51. In previous games, they defeated New Britain, 55-51, and lost to St. Francis of Brooklyn, 66-49. In the latter game, Captain Joe Kehoe sank the thousandth point of his career.

The Terriers got off to a 14-5 early lead, playing possession basketball, and were never in any trouble afterwards. The score at the quarter was 21-11. The second quarter was by far the Stags best as they held the Terriers practically even and at the half the St. Francis combine held sway by 35-34 margin. In the second half, the much taller Terriers scored easily, and although Lane and Suchenski did well, the score at the three quarter mark was 51-35. The last quarter saw the substitutes in action on both sides, and the final margin was 17 points. High scorer for the Stags was Joe Kehoe with 14, (who incidentally scored his one-thousandth point during the contest).

Bill McGrath was the first winner beating John Howard. Ray Kehoe, the tournament favorite, advanced into the second round by beating John Vitale. His brother John suffered defeat at the hands of Red Whelan. Al Quick beat Sal Vigaliante easily, but again the brother act was not too successful as Dick Quick was beaten by another possible finalist Frank O'Connor. The only shutout in tourney history was recorded by Don Brown as he defeated Art "the barber" Sapienza two straight, the second being an eleven nothing whitewash. The best preliminary match was between Bob Steele and Charlie DiSienna, with Steele finally coming through with the victory. The biggest upset of the early rounds was Dan Smith's easy win over Don Saltus, usually about the steadiest player around. Advancing to the second round were George Camas and Al Quick, who both scored easy victories. Ray Kehoe and Harry Marmion clashed in the first quarter final match on Thursday and this was by far the most exciting match of the competition thus far. Harry won the first game 21-18. However, Ray came back strong and won the second game by the close score of 21-19: to even the match. In the third and deciding match Ray jumped to an early commanding lead, and seemed to be in complete control, however a late rally tied the game and it went to deuce. Ray won the next two points and emerged the victor 22-20 to become the first player to enter the semi-finals.

The Communion Breakfast will start off the week, and Chairman Bill Mecca, has informed the STAG that the speaker will be someone who will be well worth hearing. He I added that he was not at liberty to disclose the speaker's name at this time. Harry Marmion is Chairman of the Junior Smoker which will be held the following night. It is expected that the Smoker will feature a Sports theme, with the possibility that some "local talent" will perform for the enjoyment of those who attend. Plans for this event have not yet been completed. The Junior Prom, headed by John McDougall, will have novelty as its theme. McDougall hopes that everything about this year's Prom will be remembered as one of the highlights of the Iyear. He has contacted various men from different localities and , is endeavoring to obtain a suitable place for the Prom. The committee has decided that a "c 0 u n try club atmosphere" would best suit the needs of the class, and plans are being made along that line. No decision regarding price has yet been made, but it is expected to follow the price line set for previous affairs of this kind.

Council members pointed out, however, that the Freshmen had never had an approved date in the first place. Chairman Zeisner voiced the opinion that this was the only practical way of resolving the difficulty, and further stated that he will endeavor to give the students the ''best show possible." The show as now planned by Zeisner will be held on Wednesday, April 23, and at a committee meeting on Monday, February 18, Zeisner informed the various freshmen and sophomores that since the difficulty had been resolved, they would all work together for a good, representative show.

The amalgamated version of the show will be presented despite the expressed approval of the Student Council in favor of the original show. The Sophomores had "cleared" their date through Council last November, and had begun to plan their show as early as the end of January. The Freshmen, led by Council member Tremont, also began preparations for their show without, however, securing the approval of a suitable date from the Council. The mix up in dates came out into the open at the Council session of February 12, with the Freshmen announcing that they were planning a show, but that they were willing to combine their affair with that of the Sophomores. Joseph McNally, Sophomore Class President, announced disapproval of the joint program and asked the Council for an opinion. The resulting vote was in favor of the Sophomores since their date had been approved previously. The Freshmen appealed to Joint Show To Be Staged After Protest By Freshmen

SearchData | " Vol. III-No.9 Published By Students Of Fairfield University February 2L 1952 April 24 Selective Service Test All eligible students who intend to take the Selective Service College Qualification Test in 1952 should file applications at once for the April 24 administration, Selective Service National Headquarters advised today. An application and a bulletin of information may be obtained at any Selective Service local board. Following instructions in the bulletin, the student should fill out his application immediately and mail it in the special envelope provided. Applications must be postmarked no later than midnight, March 10, 1952. Early filing will be greatly to the student's advantage. Results will be reported to the student's Selective Service local board of jurisdiction for use in considering his deferment as a student, according to Educational Testing Service, which prepares and administers the College Qualification Test. Since the original system for collecting the student assessment fee has not been effective, the Student Council has devised a new system whereby that one day will be set aside for the collection of the fee. On the day designated, representatives of the Student Council will be stationed at all the entrances to Xavier Hall before the first period in the morning. This plan has the approval of the Dean of the College, and the Council has arranged a publicity program so that all students will know of the plan. There is a complete record of those who have paid and they will be able to enter the building by either presenting their receipt or by giving their name to the representataive. The reasons for the Student Assessment Fee have been reemphasized by Student Council President Harold Mullen. The Student Council has financial obligations beyond its current sources of income and with the growth of the school, the responsibility of the council has increased. Dues to the N.F.C.C.S. must be paid. There are gifts and loans to classes and activities. Through the suggestion of the Italian Club, the Council is considering joining the Metropolitan Opera Guild so that students of Fairfield may receive reduced rate tickets. The Student Council has adopted this new plan because it will give everyone an opportunity to pay the fee and it will immediately supplement the Council treasury. Dr. Ross Hoffman To Lecture Here Next Thursday Final Collection Day For Student Fee February 27 The Student Council has informed The STAG that Wednesday, February 27, 1952, has been set aside as the "final" collection day for the Student Fee of one dollar. On that day, representatives of the Council will be stationed at each entrance to collect the dollar from all those who have not paid. DR. ROSS HOFFMAN The third in an extended series of lectures, honoring the name of Cardinal Robert Bellarmine will be presented next Thursday during the sixth period in the auditorium of Berchmans hall. Doctor Ross Hoffman, noted political scientist and literary author will place Edmund Burke into an honorable niche in the great Catholic tradition by means of a lecture entitled, "Burke and the Catholic Tradition." Dr. Hoffman was born in 1902 and has been for many years Professor of Modern History at Fordham University. He received his Doctorate in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania and holds honorary degrees from Villanova, Marquette, Fordham and Detroit. At one time, Dr. Hoffman was president of the Catholic Historical Association. Numbered among this author's many books are: Great Britain and the German Trade Rivalry, 1934; Restoration, 1934; The Will to Freedom, 1935; Tradition and Progress, 1938; The Organic State, 1939; The Great Republic, 1942; Origins of the Second World War (with C. G. Haines), 1943; Durable Peace, 1944; Burke's Politics (with P. Levack), 1949; The Spirit of Politics and the Future of Freedom, 1951. Hartford Club Announces Plans For Scholarship Father Mahan, Asst. Dean of Freshman at Fairfield University, has acknowledged a letter received from Fred Roback, secretary of the Hartford Area Club, which stated that the club has successfully completed its scholarship purse and is prepared to present it to the school for the next Fall term. The scholarship is for five hundred dollars and will be awarded to a deserving college aspirant (or aspirants) of the Hartford Area. Although plans are not yet completed, the Hartford Club is working in conjunction with the administration to determine whether the fund should be awarded to one applicant or to divide the scholarship between two or more persons, thus giving more than one high school graduate the opportunity to attend college. This is the first scholarship offered by the Hartford club and it is intended to be granted annually providing that the fund raising programs are as successful as they have been in the past. The chief source of revenue has been the Fairfield University Glee Club Concert presented annually at Hartford under the sponsorship of the Hartford Area Club. It is expected that the Fairfield legislators will once again be a very influential factor in the C.I.S.L. session as several Fairfield men hold legislature chairmanships. John Relihan '52, will act as Chairman of the Education Committee while John Keegan, '53, and Ronald Homza, '53, will serve as Chairmen of the Constitutional Amendments and House Welfare Committees. James Aspinwall, '52, by virtue of his position as Rules Director, has controlling jurisdiction over the Bills, Procedure, Representation and Registration Committees. It must be added that the success of the Public Affairs Club is due largely to the active enthusiasm and interest of Rev. Gabriel Ryan, S.J., moderator of the club. Committee member delegates include: House Agriculture and Elections, Tim 0 thy Cronin; House Finance and Appropriations, Thomas Martin; House Judiciary, Glenn Hawman; Senate Labor, John Fray; House Motor Vehicles and Liquor Control, Horace Bridgewater; House Public Welfare, John Boyle. Public Affairs Club Solons; "fto Attend CISL At State Capital On Thursday, March 6, a contingent of Solons from the Public Affa~rs Club will travel to the State Capitol in Hartford to represent Fairfield University at the annual session of the Connecticut Interscholastic Student Legislature. Eighteen Connecticut colleges are sending representatives to this session which adjourns on Sunday, March 8. The C.I.S.L" an educational endeavor, offers college students the experience necessary for a practical understanding of the political activities of the General Assembly. It enables them to take part in activities which are of a similar nature to the workings and proceedings of the Connecticut State Legislature. This year Fairfield's representatives will expend their energies in committee rooms and on the assembly floor to introduce and pass three pieces of legislation: The first bill endeavors to proclaim elction day as a legal holiday with the purpose in mind of increasing the voting percentage of the eligible voters; To insure safer working conditions for the working man, the second bill submitted will require any employer who employs 50 or more employees to have a medical doctor or a registered nurse in attendance at all times that employees are at work; The final draft provides for the recognition of public school teachers' representatives for collective bargaining purposes and for the arbitration of disputes. From one Joe to Another Congratulations, Joe! U.S. Marine Corps Announces Program For Undergraduates Undergraduates of Fairfield University are eligible for enrollment in the Platoon Leaders Class Program of the Marine Corps. This program leads to a commission as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve upon graduation and requires the minimum amount of service prescribed by law, twenty-four months, after date of commission. The principal advantages of this program are that it guarantees the student's college career, it requires only two summers of training (6 weeks each summer with pay), it does not require any military training during the aca'demic year, it gives five months additional training after date of commission. By HARRY MARMION On Friday night, February 9, 1952, Joe Kehoe became the first Fairfield basketball player to hit 1,000 points. The foul shot which gave him the record was made in the second quarter of the game between "The Stags" and St. Francis College of Brooklyn. The game was stopped momentarily and Coach Hanrahan presented Joe with the game ball. The large crowd in attendance gave him a tremendous ovation as the announcement was made. At half time, Joe McEnany, president of the Senior class, presented Joe with a trophy from the Senior class. When Captain Joe made the ---------------------------select circle of 1000 point scores, it was after four years of earnest effort on behalf of the team, through the four seasons, the totals ran, as follows: In freshman year, Joe led the first varsity team in the school's history with 307 points in 23 games for a season's average of better than 13 points per game; in his sophomore year, Joe again lead the team with 233 points in 23 games for an average of a little Continued ,on Page 5 Page 2 THE STAG February 21. 1952 * PHOTOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT John Malakie, '53 Editor Joseph Pander, '53 MAKE-UP DEPARTMENT Timothy Cronin, '53 John Klimas, '53 James Hannan, '53 FEATURE DEPARTMENT Robert Petrucelli.

The stairs were built for ascent and descent. Therefor'e- MAJ:: Any potency for an act or the fulfillment thereof, is a perfection, not an evil. While it is true that the stairs themselves do not possess the ability to climb up and down themselves, the potency in this case, it must be concered, is more of the nature of an invitation. Even the most abandoned skeptic will concede that a flight of stairs yearns, almost begs, to be climbed and conversely they do likewise to be descended. It depends of course whether a person is at the top or bottom. MIN.: Upon consultation with recognized experts in the field of building stairs, it is found that they are in unanimous agreement that stairs are built both for going up and coming down. In fact, upon raising the question to a carpenter, the interrogator may receive the answer "What are ye, a wise guy?" and receive a hammer in the cranial structure for his trouble. PROOF OF SECOND PART OF THESIS: Descending and ascending the same flight of stairs are not conducive to excessive confusion nor loss of time if these acts expedite passage from classroom to classroom. But they do expedite passage. Therefore- MAJ.: Evident. MIN.: This is evident from experience. Many a time and oft, has a student, pushed by the milling throng and lost in meditation, descended beyond his destined floor. In such a case said student was forced to go all1lhe way to the basement, fight his way through a solid mass of masticating humanity and, besplattered with food, make his way up a flght of stairs at least two leagues distant from his place of descent. On the other hand if he were allowed to retrace his steps, much time and energy would be saved and possibly, he might reach class on time. COR.: Moreover, when a student is not left the choice of ascent or descent on a given flight of stairs, it tends to destroy his initiative; his ability to make decisions. He becomes one of the herd and follows the crowd. SCHOL.: Descending the stairs against an ascending crowd is a wonderful form of athletic expression. It can be safely held that a person who has managed to reach the corroded atmosphere of the basement after a descent from the top floor is blessed with the talents of a professional fullback. DIFFICULTY: "Ascending and descending the same flight of stairs" is a contradiction." Therefore- ANSWER: (Tch, Tch, Father, such sophistry!) Descending and ascending at the same time is a contradiction, we admitalthough it has been this author's experience to seem to do both. We distinguish the statement and admit it only if the time is considered. CF. VOLTAIRE, DESCARTES, KANT and HUME. Avoid CUNNINGHAM and that nasty universal skepticism. Business Club To Hold Dinner; Pians Activiti,es The Business Club, at is recent campus meeting, announced its guest speaker for the month of February. The Club will be host to Mr. Manuel Rodriquez, Purchasing Agent for Remington Rand, Inc., Shaver Division. The dinner meeting will be held Wednesday, February 27th, 6:30 p.m., at the Hitching Post Inn, Bridgeport. Mr. Rodriquez will speak to the Club members and their guests about the "Methods used by a Purchasing Agent in modern Business." In addition to his duties at Remington Rand, Mr. Rodriquez is very active in the Bridgeport area. He is a member of the Purchasing Agents' Association here in Bridgeport and currently president of the Foremen's Association at Remington. As a purchasing agent he is considered an authority in the field and has written several magazine articles on the subject. He also speaks extensively to business groups. Prior to assuming his position at Remington Rand Mr. Rodriquez was associated with General Electric Inc. for several years. The February dinner meeting was among several items mentioned at the campus meeting by Board Chairman John Mester. A tentative schedule for the remainder of the year was outlined and upon confirmation from the Board of Directors will be published. Included in this schedule was a Club Social which is under investigation by a committee composed of John Connell, Ronald Hunts, Robert Walsh, Owen Groark, and Joe Gabriel. The election of Club Officers for next year was also discussed and it was agreed that nominations would be in order the last Wednesday of April with the election the first Wednesday of May. Harold Mullen, President of the Student Council, has announced the formation of a committee to draw up a constitution for the Student Council. The committee includes nine Council members and four men from the Student Body. Those appointed are as follows: Robert Walsh, Robert Conroy, John H. Welch, Thomas Bepko, Timothy Cronin, Paul Tremont, Gerald Leblanc, John Whalen, John Leonard, John Relihan, Dominic Autuori, William McGrath and George Jaeser. The Council has received, through the courtesy of the Albertus Magnus Student Government and the NFCCS a number of constitutions as well as a model constitution, and it is expected that these will be used as a basis for the Fairfield document. Mullen also invited any member of the Student Body who feels that he could contribute to the Constitution to attend the meetings which will be held commencing next week. Mullen Appoints Committee To Form Club were present to welcome the visiting supervisors and to escort them on an extensive tour of the classrooms and science laboratories. At Bellarmine faculty house, the guests were greeted by Rev. Joseph Fitzgerald, S.J., Rector of the Universitiy and following lunch were addressed by Rev. Lawrence Langguth, S.J., Dean of the College, Rev. T; Ecverett McPeake, S.J., Chairman of the Education Department and Dr. Maurice Rogalin, Director of Teacher Training. The Student Council On Thursday, February 14, the Education department of Fairfield University played host to the Southern Fairfield County Superintendents Association, at the monthly meeting of the organization, held in Berchmans Hall. The Association, composed of sup;rintendents from Connecticut schools, assembles once each month to discuss major problems which are of common concern to teachers. Upon arrival of the Association, members of the Education An Aside to the Captain - from the Editors and Staff of The STAG: Congratulations on hitting the 1,000 point mark in intercollegiate basketball! To use a time honored, but ,appropriate cliche: "It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy." Education Club Plays Host To School Heads negative. In the first place the Council is usually criticized not for things which it does, but rather for things which it does not do. In fact it is often accused of doing nothing at all. The second characteristic is also negative; we have yet to hear any constructive criticism dir~cted towards the Council. It seems that many disagl'ee with its operation, and yet none offers suggestions for improvement. Such a criticism is of little use; it shows faults, but does not offer improvements; it tears down, but leaves no plans for rebuilding; it shows the errors of the past, but does not attempt to correct them. Now, why has the Council been so criticized? Underlying this criticism there are two basic motives. First, the Council is limited in its power and authority. We would not expect the Student Council to set academic requirements, and yet many times it is expected to intervene in matters which are just as clearly in the hands of the Administration. We must realize that its scope is limited. We feel that this is as it should be; that the Council should only have control over the minor and the social problems of our school life while the more important phases rest in the hands of the Administration. Secondly, the Student Council has been limited in the financial field. During the past two years the Council has been losing money at such a rate that its treasury would be bankrupt by the end of this school year! The sources of income are few and small, while the mouths of expenditures are many and large. Many projects .the Council could not undertake because it lacked the necessary funds. And so it proposed the Student Tax to alleviate this situation. This, we feel, is a step forward, a constructive method of solving its major problem. If this program is succesful we feel there will be a definite impl'ovement in the operation of the Student Council. In the past we have -criticized, but offered no improvement. At Jast a solution has been put forth and if we are to expect an improvement we must support the means of attaining it. We do not say that the criticism directed towards the Council has been completely unjust. We do claim, however, that this criticism has been negative, that little thought has been given to the problems of the Council, and that the Student Tax offers, at least, a partial solution of these difficulties. In the past there has been much criticism of our Student Governn:ent.

Values Scientific Study Seattle carries out the traditional practice of the Church and of the Jesuits in regard to the importance laid to the pursuit of scientific work. The intention of both the Church and of the Jesuits in regarding science as of prime importance and of great necessity is that, through such efforts, "valuable contributions might be made to the upbuilding of the Body of Christ." Because of this the Jesuits have trained the members of their Society "not only in the preparation of the altar, but also in a learning and culture adequate to combat modern errors." The present faculty at Seattle bears out this strong conviction. Ten of its departments are staffed with men holding Doctor of Philosophy degrees. These men, and those others who make up Seattle's teaching staff, are helping to make the University "a center of learning from which a greater understanding of the Faith will flow." Seattle University is the focal point for students from lands and states near and far. Its students come from all parts of this country, from Alaska, the Philippines, and from Hawaii. Such remote places as Sweden, Belgium, Italy, and South America are represented on this Washington campus also. Such graduates can be found in trades and professions throughout the world, carrying the spirit they received at Seattle wherever they may go. In all there are at least ten foreign countries and twentyeight states of the Union represented in Seattle's student body and alumni. ent location for their new school. Closed in World War I During World War I the classes in the college had to be suspended for the duration of the war, but in 1919 classes of ::;'eattle College High School were moved to a new site. Then in 1931 it was decided that the high school and college should be separated, and the College was returned to its original building. Seattle University of today is a far cry from the original school of the two Fathers. Today it offers more than 200 subjects and awards degrees in the School of Commerce, in the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Education, the School of Nursing, the School of Engineering, and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Seattle also offers a full-time night school. The teaching staff at the University numbers more than 150 religious and lay teachers. The campus is comprised of seven on-campus buildings, a veteran's housing unit, and a gymnasium. There are seven resident halls for women and three for men. I Seattle is a co-educational II university with a scholastic year .divided into four seasonal p2r-iods, the Fall, Water, Spring, and Summer quarters.

Work in these fields has made this school internationally famous. Marquette's history began in 1855 when the first bishop of Milwaukee, the Right Reverend John Henni, and Chevalier G. de Boye of Antwerp, Belgium, laid the plans for the coming of the Jesuits to Milwaukee and for the chartering of Marquette College in 1864.

Such plans provide the added training needed to supplement the theoretical tr,aining of the students. . Marquette's college of Liberal Arts is, of course, the "hub of the University." Here the usual courses in philosophy, English, religion, history, and science are offered, and the College is proud of the premedical, pre-dental, pre-legal, Marquette University Is Alma Mater Of Outstanding Stag,e, Radio, Everybody has heard of Don Ameche and Pat O'Brien of motion picture fame. obtained $16,000 for his new . . ..,. . . . d J' school, the funds for whIch LikeWIse the name of HIldegarde IS famIlIar to most radIO ~nthuslasts, an Immy were supplied by be Boye, and Powers is well known to sports fan as being the Sports EdItor of the New York in 1850, requested the Jesllits to News as well as a TV commentator.

All these are famous in their own right, and -though individually their lives and interests vary, they have one thing at least in common. All are former students a,t Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Marquette points to them with pride. Marquette is a university with 38 buildings, one of which is a recently completed five-story edifice, and three other buildings are now under construction.

This school of journalism is the only Catholic journalism school listed among the accredited schools of journalism in the U.S. Marquette has the nation's largest one-room dental clmic, a room containing 152 dental chairs! Residents of Milwaukee may take advantage of this dental service, as well as of the speech and eye clinics maintained on the campus. The University offers a course in speech correction with on-the-job experience for students spedalizing in this field.

In naming the new colle·ge Bis,hop Fenwick bestowed on it the name of his Cathedral, with the motto and emblem of the Boston Diocese . . . a cross in the heavens. This symbol is well-known from the historic legend of the appearance of the cross in the sky to Emperor Constantine. Invites Jesuits to Teach With the site and buildings for his new college now an actuality, Bishop Fenwick next turned to his sole remaining problem, namely, who was to teach there? He invited the Fathers of the Society of Jesus to organize the courses of study according to the curricula of their already established college at Georgetown, and gave them complete control of the teaching. Classes were begun in 1843 and were held in the seminary building, and in 1844 the first college building was completed.

In conclusion let me state that the select group of basketball players that hit the 1000 point mark, hardly ever includes a slender, six foot forward. Rather they are usually the seven foot tall variety that has but to stand under the hoop and dunk the ball through. I think that when you realize these things it makes Joe's feat much more impressive. Naturally, it is safe to assume that others will arrive at, and most probably exceed the final figure that Joe accounts for. However, it seems to me that Captain Joe's figure will stand alone as a tribute to a good basketball player, and a great guy. Fairlield 65. New Haven 51 The Red Stags, with Bobby Gerwien throwing 28 points, defeated the Owls of New Haven State Teachers College, at the Armory, 65-51, Friday night. The Stags opened up an eleven point lead in the first two periods, after Gerwien had broken an early 3-3 tie and were never headed thereafter. Coach Jim Hanrahan used ten players in the contest as the Fairfield Five coasted to their seventh triumph of the campaign. The Men in Red scored only one more field goat' than the Teachers but counted for 17 out of thirty foul shots, as against five out of twenty-three for the visitors. Al Karpinski was the leader for New Haven with 12 points. In the preliminary game, the Fairfield Prep five defeated the Junior Varsity, 57-54. Kehoe had given Fairfield a 4941 lead, the Teachers bounced back strongly. With Henkel being the main offensive star, they crept within two points 51-49. Finally, baskets by Lane and Kehoe put The Stags ahead again and the final whistle saw our club the victor. Fred Lane was the offensive star for the winners with 19 points, followed by Suchenski with 15. Henkel and Deneen starred for New Britain.

The Men in Red although ahead practically the whole contest, were given a scare in the final three minutes of the last quarter. After a late spurt by Lane and CONGRATS, JOE Continued from Page 1 better than 10 points a game; in Junior year he accounted for 304 points in 26 games and his average was again a commendable 11% per encounter; he entered this year with 156 points to go and his average as of the St. Francis tilt was a little over 11 points a game. Although it took Joe four seasons to amass the total, several facts must be considered. Throughout the first two seasons Joe carried the entire offensive burden practically alone. The schedule in those seasons was a very strong one including many of the :top small colleges in the east. With the influx of new talent in the last two years, Joe, has not found it necessary to shout as much as before and he has become a fine floor player and a smoother all around performer. Naturally his average has risen accordingly and in several games this year he has shot around the 50% mark, The Red Stags crept closer to the five hundred mark last week, as they garnered their second win in three games, defeating the New Haven State 'Deachers, 65-51. In previous games, they defeated New Britain, 55-51, and lost to St. Francis of Brooklyn, 66-49. In the latter game, Captain Joe Kehoe sank the thousandth point of his career.

The Terriers got off to a 14-5 early lead, playing possession basketball, and were never in any trouble afterwards. The score at the quarter was 21-11. The second quarter was by far the Stags best as they held the Terriers practically even and at the half the St. Francis combine held sway by 35-34 margin. In the second half, the much taller Terriers scored easily, and although Lane and Suchenski did well, the score at the three quarter mark was 51-35. The last quarter saw the substitutes in action on both sides, and the final margin was 17 points.

Advancing to the second round were George Camas and Al Quick, who both scored easy victories. Ray Kehoe and Harry Marmion clashed in the first quarter final match on Thursday and this was by far the most exciting match of the competition thus far. Harry won the first game 21-18. However, Ray came back strong and won the second game by the close score of 21-19: to even the match. In the third and deciding match Ray jumped to an early commanding lead, and seemed to be in complete control, however a late rally tied the game and it went to deuce. Ray won the next two points and emerged the victor 22-20 to become the first player to enter the semi-finals.

Although only in its second year, Brandeis fields several varsity teams. The football squad had a successful year and received a minor bowl bid. The basketball squad is playing a very impressive schedule and. although losing most of the big ones, it is making a very favorable impression in the New England area. So it could be that relations would be a very good move on our part for future years. A few basketball quickies - Did you know that the highest number of points scored in a single season by any college player was posted last season by John King of Morris Harvey. The figure, 967 points in 31 games for an average of 31.2 points per contest. The most points in a four year career were hooped in by one Mr. DeLong, who played with River Falls State (?) and in 117 games he totaled 2902 points for a 24.8 average. And lastly, did you know who scored the most points in a single college game? No. it was not Paul Arizin of Villanova with 85. It was none other th~n Brady Duncan of Rio Grande College who threw in 87 points against Central City in 1941. After the game it was found that both his arms were paralyzed and remained so for two days. Page 6 THE TAG February 2L 1952 Freshmen departments Sophomores Attention !!!

Plans for this event have not yet been completed. The Junior Prom, headed by John McDougall, will have novelty as its theme. McDougall hopes that everything about this year's Prom will be remembered as one of the highlights of the Iyear. He has contacted various men from different localities and , is endeavoring to obtain a suitable place for the Prom. The committee has decided that a "c 0 u n try club atmosphere" would best suit the needs of the class, and plans are being made along that line. No decision regarding price has yet been made, but it is expected to follow the price line set for previous affairs of this kind.

Council members pointed out, however, that the Freshmen had never had an approved date in the first place. Chairman Zeisner voiced the opinion that this was the only practical way of resolving the difficulty, and further stated that he will endeavor to give the students the ''best show possible." The show as now planned by Zeisner will be held on Wednesday, April 23, and at a committee meeting on Monday, February 18, Zeisner informed the various freshmen and sophomores that since the difficulty had been resolved, they would all work together for a good, representative show.

The Sophomore Amateur Night, originally scheduled for April 25, 1952, has given way to a joint show by the members of the Freshman-Sophomore Class to be held on April 23, 1952, according to an announcement by George Zeisner, chairman of the night. The amalgamated version of the show will be presented despite the expressed approval of the Student Council in favor of the original show. The Sophomores had "cleared" their date through Council last November, and had begun to plan their show as early as the end of January. The Freshmen, led by Council member Tremont, also began preparations for their show without, however, securing the approval of a suitable date from the Council. The mix up in dates came out into the open at the Council session of February 12, with the Freshmen announcing that they were planning a show, but that they were willing to combine their affair with that of the Sophomores. Joseph McNally, Sophomore Class President, announced disapproval of the joint program and asked the Council for an opinion. The resulting vote was in favor of the Sophomores since their date had been approved previously. The Freshmen appealed to Joint Show To Be Staged After Protest By Freshmen |
