May 24, 1957 Senior Week Features Dance At Waverly Inn; Other Events Planned 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 Michael discussed the absence of psychology in their (the New Realists) theories, positing certain reasons for said absence, One of the highlights of the and pointing out that certain year's end for the seniors this bases which are found in year will be Senior Week.

CLOTHES THE STAG WASHED and DRIED REASONABLE RATES Labor R'eview by KEVIN DONNELLY It is unfortunate for labor that the "Beck Affair" should come at this time. The drift of the past few years has been to the detriment of the labor movement. Organized labor is in a period of transition. Because their legitimate role in the economy of this ,::ountry has been denied for such a long time, when they finally gained legal sanction, they developed in a rush of member and problems.

Despite the fact that the administration r·efused r;;~~~~~~~~~~~I to give it official recognition, the "tennis team" under-took a modest, but challenging schedule. To date they Fairfield Laundromat have dealt sound thrcl.l;hings to the University of Bridgeport varsity and the Wesleyan J.V:s Now they are 10Qking forward to next spring when, they hope the administration will give them the recognition and necessary financial support to engage an intercollegiate schedule on a full-time basis. We hope that 1227 Post Road Fairfield those in a position to mC1:ke this a reality will exercise Opp. Post Office their power. We know that the administration knows a good thing when it sees it. In the recent student council elections, the results of the Junior Class showed more votes than were actually. 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.

Vail Survey Reports On Plans Of Seniors 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. JAMES v. JOY~ INC.

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.

Many calypso songs that have gained recognition through rehave been too affected by the influence of rock and roll, almost so much that they lose the sound of native calypso.

"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."

For less than $1000, students on CYTO Tour "D" visit ten European nations - a value that challenges comparison. Tour "A" takes the tour-goer to the six countries that are "musts" for only $695.

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. April 3, 1957. Thinking of a summer in Europe? Thinking this might NOT be the summer to go? The Catholic Youth Travd Office asks you to think again, because this summer CYTO can give you better value than ever before in one of its four European tours. Travel conditions in Western Europe remain better than good, according to reports in the March 11 issue of TIME magazine and the March 3 International Travel Section of the New York TIMES. This means that this summer is the time to take advantage of the 70th ANNIVERSARY SAtE BOOK REVIEWS This Hallowed Ground by Bruce Catton, Doubleday, New York, 1956, $4.95 '/ 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 in their letters to home and in' their diaries which ma1.:e this history, human.

A Fairfield amendment was passed to the labor resolution. It urged the use of all possible means on the part of Catholic 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 labor scandals and the popular indignation they have aroused as excuses for initiating antilabor legislation such as "Right to Work" laws. In the elections, Terry O'Grady of St. Michael's College, a frequent visitor to Fairfield, the man who put on the Industrial Relations Workshop at the University in November, was elected New England Regional President. He will succeed Fairfield's Jim Rourke. Fifteen Seniors Elect To Take Special Orals Page Eight NFCCS (Continued from Page I) 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 legislation by going to Communion more often, condemning the raiding of college baseball by professional leagues and urging that a protective policy be drawn up, and not only condemning the racketeering in On and Off the Campus DRINK PEPSI Because of their excellent scholastic standing fifteen members of the Senior class elected to accept the challenge o! a special oral examination in 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 acknowledged. Special examiners will conduct the examination for one half hour instead of the usual fifteen minutes, oral. Many of these sessions will be held at a time when the student body will have the chance to listen in and it is felt that the competence of the students being examined will guarantee an interesting and profitable experience. The following Seniors comprise the list of examinees: . R. Allenby, A. Avitabile, R. Boisvert, T. Fitzgerald, E. Garcia, G. Grom, R. Imbro, R. Lisi, F. Mathews, D. McCarthy, G. Morrissey, P.

The work of chaplains should be facilitated. They should be enabled to do as much as possible in the way of counselling service, and should have the ;space necessary for this. It would be well, too, were there a place reserved for religious services. To have these in makeshift quarters, in places used for many other things, is a mistake.

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.

CLOTHES THE STAG WASHED and DRIED REASONABLE RATES Labor R'eview by KEVIN DONNELLY It is unfortunate for labor that the "Beck Affair" should come at this time. The drift of the past few years has been to the detriment of the labor movement. Organized labor is in a period of transition.

To date they Fairfield Laundromat have dealt sound thrcl.l;hings to the University of Bridgeport varsity and the Wesleyan J.V:s Now they are 10Qking forward to next spring when, they hope the administration will give them the recognition and necessary financial support to engage an intercollegiate schedule on a full-time basis. We hope that 1227 Post Road Fairfield those in a position to mC1:ke this a reality will exercise Opp. Post Office their power. We know that the administration knows a good thing when it sees it. In the recent student council elections, the results of the Junior Class showed more votes than were actually. 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.

Vail Survey Reports On Plans Of Seniors 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. JAMES v. JOY~ INC.

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.

Many calypso songs that have gained recognition through rehave been too affected by the influence of rock and roll, almost so much that they lose the sound of native calypso.

"Our bus driver . . . spoke German and English fluently and enough of the other languages to get along.

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. April 3, 1957.

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 in their letters to home and in' their diaries which ma1.:e this history, human.

A Fairfield amendment was passed to the labor resolution. It urged the use of all possible means on the part of Catholic 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 labor scandals and the popular indignation they have aroused as excuses for initiating antilabor legislation such as "Right to Work" laws. In the elections, Terry O'Grady of St. Michael's College, a frequent visitor to Fairfield, the man who put on the Industrial Relations Workshop at the University in November, was elected New England Regional President. He will succeed Fairfield's Jim Rourke. Fifteen Seniors Elect To Take Special Orals Page Eight NFCCS (Continued from Page I) 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 legislation by going to Communion more often, condemning the raiding of college baseball by professional leagues and urging that a protective policy be drawn up, and not only condemning the racketeering in On and Off the Campus DRINK PEPSI Because of their excellent scholastic standing fifteen members of the Senior class elected to accept the challenge o! a special oral examination in 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 acknowledged. Special examiners will conduct the examination for one half hour instead of the usual fifteen minutes, oral. Many of these sessions will be held at a time when the student body will have the chance to listen in and it is felt that the competence of the students being examined will guarantee an interesting and profitable experience. The following Seniors comprise the list of examinees: . R. Allenby, A. Avitabile, R. Boisvert, T. Fitzgerald, E. Garcia, G. Grom, R. Imbro, R. Lisi, F. Mathews, D. McCarthy, G. Morrissey, P.

The work of chaplains should be facilitated. They should be enabled to do as much as possible in the way of counselling service, and should have the ;space necessary for this. It would be well, too, were there a place reserved for religious services. To have these in makeshift quarters, in places used for many other things, is a mistake. The importance of religion, in itself and in its role in the process of rehabilitation, requires ;3uitable r2cognition. " Nile Guile TIME'S RUNNING OUT!

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.
