Pltilosophy Symposium Held
By Aquinas Academy, May 2
The Fairfield University Aquinas Academy presented
its annual symposium in Berchmans Auditorium on
Thursday, May 2. Fourteen Seniors displayed keen philo­sophical
insight and fine abifity to apply the facts of
philosophy to modern trends and scientific advances.
The first group dealt primari-<~'~------------­ly
with the latest trend in phi­losophical
thought, New Real­ism.
Bob Visokay and Gene

psychology in their (the New

It is unfortunate for labor

the detriment of the labor

legal sanction, they develop­ed

In the recent student council elections, the results of

cast. In other words, some power hungry group stuff­ed
the ballot box with extra votes. We don't know the
results, so we can't point an accusing finger at any in­dividual
clique. This type of politicking is usually re­served
for a totalitarian state. Although, we are not
as naive to not believe that this sort of voting takes
place in many municipal and national elections through­out
the country. But we are Catholic men, being edu­cated
to carry our moral views into the stream of every
day life.
If we have no moral principles now, how can we ex­pect
to put them to use later in life. To be more plain,
if we are nothing but a sneaking bunch of cheats now,
surely we will develop these traits in future years.
These elections are held, at least we believe, to install
a representative group of the student body on the coun­cil.
Yet, it appears as if there are some who are out to
thwart this goal. They are bent on the idea of geUing
their buddies, disregarding his ability, into office. But,
isn't this a bit childish? Surely some of you boys have
come to the age of reason, and should realize that this
type of action certainly isn't for the good of the many.
Don't you think it is about time that you grew up? Take
off your knickers and high socks. Oh yes! Take your
thumb out of your mouth.
A member of the student council expressed the opin­ion
that it might have been a mistake on the part of the
polling aUendants. However, this opinion was found to
be invalid when it was discovered that students who
hadn't attended school that day' had had their nam.es
crossed, indicating they had voted. Now, this is positive
proof that the election was used merely as an instru­ment
by a power hungry group.
We might add, that the results 0.£ the elections for
officers of the Junior Class was also under som.e suspic­ion.
This being, because approximately every junior
participated in the election. Now, it is absurd to expect
us to believe that every junior was in school and took
the time and effort to cast a ballot.
Ii seems as if our only hope lies in the fact that these
self appointed leaders will possess the leadership quali­ties
that they think they have. If not, wouldn't it be a
disastrous situation to have a bunch of imcom,petents
on the council? Surely, men, we are not using our
heads. And isn't that what we're coming to school for ­to
beUer our understanding? This recent election proves
that we are not atUaining our final goal.
Ii certainly expresses a mockery of our dem.ocratic
way of life, and most assuredly indicates a corruption
of our Catholic teaching. Ii just shows we haven't
reached the age of maturity. Think it over, KIDS! ! !

STARTING SALARY
ABOUT $4.000
The salary of a physicist with
a B.S. degree starts at about
$4,000 per year in industry and
$3,500 in federal civil service.
With master's degree, physi­cists
start at about $4,000 in
federal civil service and $5,000
in industry. The Ph.D starts
about $5,000 in college job,
$5,600 in federal service, and
$6,000 or higher in industry. At
peak income level, generally
about the twenty-year experi­ence
mark, college salaries
range from $6,000 to $12,000;
industrial salaries from $8,000
to $15,000; government salaries,
between $7,000 and $9,000.
CHA1.LENGING WORK
The work is interesting, chal­lenging
and varied; satisfaction
of working in a field in which
new frontiers are opening con­stantly,
with consequent possi­bilities
for individual profes­:;
ional recognition.
There are disadvantages also:
long periods of preparation, and
long hours.
May I take this opportunity
to thank you for showing a sin­cere
interest in this column.
May you all have a most enjoy­able
summer. See you next
fall.
Mid-West and Pacific
Coast states are the areas most
in need of physicists.
A B.S. degree is minimum
requirement, but graduates
training is imperative for top
jobs.
If you have a good mathe­matical
mind; interest in me­chanical
devices; a high level
of intelligence; initiative; im­agination;
thoroughness; pati­ence
you will be very success­ful
in a field of this nature.
The physicist applies pure
knowledge to solve problems
concerning phenomena of inani­mate
matter. He works in the
laboratory, probing unexplored
fields. Typically a physicist
studies the fading of dyes, drug
actions, behavior of metals,
plastics, and rubber under con­ditions
of use. A Biophysicist
develops new medical equip­ment.

To my many readers who
have asked me to discuss ca­reers
in the scientific field, I
dedicate this final issue of the
Stag.
Fairfield has a 'top notch'
physics department for those
who are interested in this fas­cinating
:;cience.
Now there are some 15,000
practicing physicists in the
United States, compared to ap­proximately
9,000 in 1948. Their
major fields of employment:
private industry (about 40 per
cent): educational institutions
(33 per cent); government agen­cies
(about 17 per cent). Gradu­ation
totals in this field have
been declining 1949-1956 when
a peak number of 3,414 B.S. de­grees
were awarded; the down­ward
trend is expected to ex­tend
through 1958.
SHORTAGE OF PHYSICISTS
The current shortage of phys­icists
is expected to continue
another five to ten years, par­ticularly
for those with advanc­ed
degree·s. Increasing technical
complexity of our civilization
insures a continuing need for
physicists. Atomic energy has
opened new fields for physicists
and demand is certain to in­crease
if private industry takes
over the development of atomic
energy.
The best current prospects
are in the following industries:
electrical machinery, profes­sional
and scientific equipment,
chemicals, technical services,
communications and petroleum.
Government laboratories and
educational institutions also
offer good opportunities.

The science group disproved
the modern idea that philoso­phy
is to be ruled out of science
completely. They showed that
science is based on philosophi­cal
premises and that the
modern misapprehension that
philosophy should be subordin­ate
to the findings of science is
fallacious.
The second group also dis­cussed
the validity of the
theory of evolution, pointing
out many of the flaws in .said
theory.
Through, the use of the
thermodynamic principle of en­tropy,
the men theorized as to
the beginning and end of the
world, the· need of an extra­mundane
-control of the order
of the world, the existence of
God, and the position of physics
and science in relation to
Natural Theology.
The science discussion was
excellently presented by Bob
Piscatelli, Vin Paolillo, Al Avi­tabile,
Ted Larkin, John Nolan,
Ed Garcia, George Morrissey.

discussing the fact that the
modern group is bringing the
concept of "Ontic Status", an

into the aesthetic scene in
reaction to the modern concept
'of beauty as being in the eye

no objective norms of criticism.
Although the New Realists

Dear Sir:
We have just completed an­other

letter because I consider that

"flop". It was most certainly a
perfect proof of why ·the -uni­versity
is not considered a
"social" school. It was a "flop"
as far as atendance and co­operation
of the .student body
went.
I know there have been
many letters and notices
abo;.;t the ~ack of interest of
the student body in all activi­ties.
For my part, thes·e
notices and letters all are too
nice. I hope that what I say
hen will insult every stud­eni
w:ho reads this. Maybe
then we will stir up at least
a controversy, maybe then
we will at least stop our
crying, and criticizing, and
"loaning and get up and do
something.
First of all, we are not a
"socia:" school because we
don't want to be. We are too
cheap! All we can do is sit
back and cry about what we
don't have; what other schools
have, and then we are content
to put all the blame on the ad­ministration,
the faculty, the
strictness of the .Jesuits and
every other conceivable per­son
or group, as long as we
do not put the blame on our­selv,=

Let's be fair and square.

Many performers have like­wise

the advantage of TRIP, the
Travelers' Recreation and In­formation
Program. One of last
year's tour-goers says of TRIP,
"Almost all of us availed our­selves
of its many services and
some of us. helped behind the
scenes to organize and present
the activities. There was always
something to do . . . The heads
of the various activities were
capable, well-trained people.·
The organization s p 0 n s 0 r s
games, dances, dance lessons,
tournaments, panel discussions
(often on current foreign af­fairs),
lectures, religious activi­ties,
a daily newspaper, lessons
in many different languages,
and talks and films especially
for immigrants."
What about other CYTO tour
facilities? The overland travel
by modern motor coach has in­spired
such comments as, "The
bus was beautiful and the driv­er
very courteous." "Our bus
driver . . . spoke German and
English fluently and enough of
the other languages to get
along. He was witty, intelligent,
and considerate, and often told
us the historical and geograph­ical
facts of the country we
were travelling over."
"People ask me 'how was my
trip' and I say 'wonderful.' This
is a gross understatement. It
was the most fascinating ex­perience
of my short life.
Everything I see and do and
learn now is colored with what
I learned in Europe."

The Lively Arts of .Sister
Gervaise (Bonn Kennedy 1957)!
As is evident from the title,
Gervaise takes place in and
around a convent and. deals
with nuns. Perhaps the first
startling thing is that there is
no religious fanatic, no mental
case, no jilted sweetheart, no
great reformed sinner evident.
Yet, probably to the surprise of
many novelists, this novel at­mosphere
still has excitement
left. By its well drawn like­nesses
and seeming authentic­ity,
it needs none of the com­mon
melodrama but utilizes the
humor and drama of real life.
Sister Gervaise's appreciation
and devotion for art and her
valiant struggle against unarty
pastors and minstrel shows and
statues of Our Lady with roses
around her feet, the general
misconceptions of the world
make the main plot. The side
plots are different love angles,
triangles and squares: a man's
love for his overbearing wife,
a young girl's struggle to regain
love, Gervaise's love for her
pupils, diverse and delightful
puppy loves, even the sisters'
love for the over-affectionate
and very large housedog. Con­stantly
disaster threatens, trag­edy
is poised, only to be escap­ed
or delayed. When misfortune
does occur, it 'is mitigated by
Gervaise's fortitude and cour­age.
And then, gradually and
quietly, the story expires. Per­haps
sadly, also.
The book ponders on the
church-art controversy. Should
church art necessarily be good
art? Why has it always in the
main been bad art? Can it be
excused for its badness for a
greater good? Gervaise provides
some thought-enticing answers,
and some good reading.

By KEVIN DONNELLY
Every country has a period
of its history that is the object
of particular attention. To us in
the United States it is the Civil
War. The gallantry of the un­dermanned
South, and the abil­ity
of its leaders, pitted against
the man-rich North and the
resolute Grant, have combined
to clothe the conflict in a man­tle
of romance. Underlying this
story-book notion lies a bitter
and bloody conflict which split
a nation.
END OF JEFFERSONIAN
DEMOCRACY
The Civil War marks the end
of any hope for a Jeffersonian
Democracy. The weight of
Northern cities, then being
flooded with the first wave of
immigration and the rising tide
of the Industrial Revolution
stood opposed to the quiet cot­ton
kingdom of the South.
There were two different minds
growing further and further
apart, defying compromise, un­til
it was; flamed into passion
by the slavery question.
Wars are fought by men, 'be
they Gener-al or drummer-boys
and the story of any war is
essentially their story. Those
who have read the Pulitzer
Prize-winning "A Stillness at
Appomattox" are familiar with
Mr. Catton's talent. Through his
ability as a scholar and his
equal ableness as a writer, the
story of the war unfolds in a
rhythm of its enduring effect
on the Union and on the move­ments
of armies. Interspersed
in this area are those who
fought the war. It is their com­ments

A Fairfield amendment was
passed to the labor resolution.
It urged the use of all possible

College students as well as all
Catholics - such means include
letters to legislators, etc. - to
insure that legislators and con­gressmen
do not use the present

indignation they have aroused
as excuses for initiating anti­labor

The usually unchallenged bid
for the Family Life Commission
found itself. the one of conten­tion
between two opponents
this year. St. Joseph College in
Hartford presented a bid chal­lenging
Fairfield's right to hold
the Commission. However, a
successful program and bid
were adequately presented by
prospective Chairman John
Croake and Senior Delegate
Dave McCarthy, and Family
Life was reseated at Fairfield.
The excellence of the Forensic
Commission under Fairfield
tutelage established a record
that went unchallenged as the
second commission was reseat­ed
at the University.
In following its policy of be­ing
the voice of Catholic Col­lege
thought, the congress voted
and passed resolutions urging
the full support of the Pope's

of the Senior class elected
to accept the challenge o! a

philosophy. This new departure
from the usual procedure makes
its appearance for the first time
this year and is restricted to
dean's list men whose compet­ence
in philosophy is hereby

will conduct the examina­tion
for one half hour instead
of the usual fifteen minutes,

be held at a time when the stu­dent

the competence of the students
being examined will guarantee
an interesting and profitable

It is a short section which af­firms

that 'suitable facilities for re­ligious

(1) there is no overall policy of
religious guidance; (2) there is
no overall policy Goncerning

no adequate use of Ghaplains;

for religious services; (5) there

ment. For many, however, there
is yet more polishing which
must be done at various gradu­ate
schools. The different
branches of the armed 3ervices
will be the first stop for some
seniors before they go on with
their careers.
No matter what exactly the
individual senior will be doing,
the day of commencement is a
memorable one ... and it is just
that: the day of beginnings.
We would like at this point
to present you with just a few
of the many different avenues
which will be followed by the
men of the class of '57.
GRADUATE SCHOOLS
