This is a special announce­ment
for those who might be
interested in attending one oi
the most rewarding social func­t"
ons of the year. I'm referring
to the Catholic Charity Ball that
is held each year in Hartford. In
past year, this dance has been
so popular that there simply
hasn't been enough room for
everyone. The popularity of this
dance has forced this year's
Committee to decide upon a
larger dance hall with the re­sult
that the dance is scheduled
for the rather sedate Hartford

"The organization is fortun­ate

Fr. Hohmann
Moderator
0J-ack Welch (the chairman) de­cided
it was time for a change.
Orchestra
The orchestra of Frank Daly
has been chosen to play at the
dance, and according to advance
reports, he should please even
the most discriminating of our
dancers. Another feature that
should please them is the sun­ken
dancefloor.
Ice Carvings
Plans have not been formu­lated
as yet concerning the re­mainder
of the weekend or the
exact nature of the ice carvings.
Last year Bears replaced the
Stag; at present Mr. Welch has
not yet decided whether to
bring back the Stag or to have
a different ice figure.
Bid Price
In line with the fight against
the high cost of living and a
general raise in prices, the price
of the bids will remain the same
as last year, 85.00. Still with an
eye on thrift, it has been de­cided
to carryon the old tra­dition
cif no corsages. From all
indications the '54 Carnival is
shaping up into the biggest and
best yet.
. JACK WELCH
Carnival Chairman
New Site
The change of location has
broken a long standing prac­tice
of holding the dance at the
Ritz Ballroom. This change is
due to the fact that the Ritz
has been rented to other parties
every Friday and Saturday
night in February. That meant
that if the school still wanted
the dance at the Ritz, it would
have to be hE'ld on a weekday
night. Such a proposal would be
a great inconveinence to the
students and their dates, so
At the November 10th meeting of the Student
Council, the Byrne-Devine Amendment was passed by
an 11-2 decision in favor of submitting the question to
a student vote. The Amendment read as follows: Be it
resolved: that the Student Council By-Laws, Art. 1,
Section 3 be amended by striking out, "with a seat and
voice on the Student Council, he shall be one of the
eight members of the Senior Class on the Council"
(lines 9 and 10) and inserting a period (.) after "auto­matically
become Senior Delegate" (line 8).
The Meaning 0>--------------
This amendment, if approved matter for clarification and dis­by
the student body, means cussion, after which it will be
that the Senior Delegate will put to a vote. It is hoped that
no longer be a member of the Students will weigh the
the Student Council, unless he facts carefully with an outlook
also chooses to run for a Coun- towards the future when they
cil seat and is elected. It is ex- are Seniors, and vote accord­pected
that there will be a ingly, as to whether it will be

very soon to present this eral or not.
Laddin's Terrace has been chosen as the site of the
1954 Winter Carnival, to be held February 5th. The
Terrace is known to many of the Fairfield students, and
is frequently visited by them. It is situated on the Post
Road just the other side of Stamford, and is surrounded
by ample parking space.

The Hartford Are a Club of
Fairfield University had its first
meeting on Thursday, November
5, 1953 at which the election of
officers took place. The results
were the following: President.
Larry Shiembob '54; vice-presi­dent,
John Buckley '55; secre­tary,
Hugh Boyle '56, and treas­urer,
Frank Garvin '56. Due to
the fact that all of the members
are fro'm Hartford, the activities
of the Club will be limited; how­ever,
plans were discussed for a
dance to be held in Hartford dur­ing
the Christmas holidays. Fur­ther
information about the date
of the dance and its future ac­tivities
will be announced in a
later issue.
After careful training, and
much observation, study and
pork chop eating, they worked
out a system of rules 'and meth­ods
and moods for Hypothetical.
However, since he had bin un­dernourished
for so long, he
didn't have no figure at all.
The years went on, and so did
the boys. They teased and elud­ed
one tutor after another.
Albertus and Thomas, two of
their tutors, really had them
bulldogged. They got to think­ingabout
some of the flaws in
the boys' characters, ,and
straightened them .out. By this
time, the boys was pretty well
growed up. They started stand­ingon
their own two feet. They
always carry a littel book of
rules around just to remind
them of their schoolmen. The
boys are right friendly, too. The
trouble is, you have to make the
advances. If you make friends
with them, they will be gIad to
help you with your feudin' the
rest of the your life. Their spe­cial
friends are barbers because
they enjoy hairspliting.

(As told to Charles J. Leibrandt
by the Dogpatch Reporter.)
It seems that all the papers
discussed at this cornvention
were on the "sillygism." They
give the history, growth, and
development of the sillygism. I
became lost in several places,
however, when the boys forgot
they was presenting their
paper before a mixed crowd and
reverted to their Shadowbrook
Latin. They even slipped in a
few Greek phrases which you
can't hardly get no more.
They all agree that Aristotle
should be blamed for the "silly­gism."
Aristotle, he says that he
cain't take all the credit because
he done stole it from the
Mathematics family. A spokes­man
for the Mathematics family
said, "Don't accuse us of own­ing
something that belongs to
little Ratio Algebra," a cousin
whom they tried to have twice
removed.
Now that they found out to
whom the "sillygism" belonged,
they tried to return him. But it
seemS the rightful owner didn't
want the little polecat because
of the way he ·talked. So, the
boys got together and decided
to dress the varmint up a little
and give him a few rules and
regulations to follow. Just to
keep him on the straight and
narrow.
Aristotle was given the job,
but he up -and died before the
kid was more than a pup. H.ow-ever,
his foster brother made a IL 01
lasting impression upon him.
His next guardine was a mite
stricter with him, and hired two
sitters, Quantity and Quality,
to keep an eye on him and stop
him from using ambiguous
terms.
A short time later, a real
problem arose. They found out
that Sillygism was twins. This
squashed the roomers that the
poor kid was so much of a pig
that he ate enough for two. To
be able to tell them apart, they
named one Categorical (he wuz
a good talker) and the other
Hypothetical (this poor lad had
a speech impediment and had,
consequently, spent most of his
early life in a broom closet, be­cause
people couldn't under­stand
him.)

AReporter Reports On A
Philosophical Convention
By FRED DORI
THE STAG
T·. Paul Tre·mont Strikes Again
-T. Paul Tremont created quite
a stir within the Council over
his startling revelation concern­ing
the freshman elections being
unconstitutional (Art. 3, Section
3 a-"The election of Freshman
representatives will be held dur­ing
the fourth week of Octo­ber").
Since ,the fourth week of
October has passed, Mr. Tremont
held that it was a violation of
the Constitution to hold the elec­tions
now without some parlia­mentary
loophole to remedy the
situation. Mr. Smith, our Council
President, and Mr. Coiley our
Council Vice-President felt Mr.
Tremont was creating a feeling
of animosity toward the Coun­cil
as a whole by writing such
an article in the Stag, since he
himself is a member. They
claimed he should have come to
the Council and revealed the
facts before writing the expose
in the paper. The council (or
should I sav that a few of the
members of the Council) feel
that the student should not be
informed about the faux-pas of
the Council-that's one way of
making everything seem rosy.
The question is then whether
Tremont was unjust in his criti­cism
of the Council and creating
a situation to obtain publicity
for himself? I have tried to ana­lyze
the whole matter .objective­ly,
and I have come to the con-clusion
that some thing is rotten
in Denmark. The Council con­tends
that Tremont should have
told them about the matter pre­vious
to writing about it. In
other words, the Council is try­ing
to claim that they just forgot
about the business of the elec­tions,
because they were burd­ened
down with so many other
problems - in short the whole
matter was an understandable
oversight. I would consent to go
along with them on this answer,
to a certain extent - it could
have happened that way. The
thing I can't understand about
the situation is that the fresh­man
elections were mentioned at
more than one meeting. Bob Joy
said he mentioned the elections
at a meeting many moons ago,
when he was preparing his Jun­ior
Advisory l' e port for the
Freshmen.
-Since we now know that it
wasn't a case of invincible ig­norance
on the part of the Coun­cil,
it only remains that Tremont
did this out of a sense of duty
both towards the council (inso­far
as bringing the matter to a
head now will insure caution on
the part of future councils and
there will not be are-occurrence)
and the freshmen, who would
have been deprived of represen­tation
for at least a few weeks.
Mr. Tremont went on to offer
some solutions to the problem
(in fact I would have to say
that they were pretty novel so­lutions.
Tremont suggested that
the Council interoret the Consti­tutional
date fo'; the Freshmen
Council elections under the Ju­lian
Calendar instead of the
Gregorian Calendar, which we
follow. The Julian Calendar
would give the Council a few
days yet to start Freshman elec-tion
proceedings. Paul also sug-
- Bill Gillen (Continued on Page 6)
"Then, not everyone was SUSpICIOUS of everyone
else. An FBI report was more or less routine in ap­pointments
of that nature, and in the climate of seven
years ago, it might have been glanced over hastily, per­haps
not fully read by the President, and perhaps not
at all." Such logic deserves no comment except that it
doesn't help Mr. Brownell in the solution of this "play".
Whether Mr. Brownell meets with success or fail­ure,
the result will be the same. Either way, his story
will raise such a "smell" that the good people of Wash­ington,
D.C., will think that the "Shrimp Boat" finally
has arrived on the Potomac. At any rate, we wish Mr.
B~~wllell good luck and hope he has an "Out" on his
hands.

At present, we are not certain as to just what the "-"~'1J
new stage presentation in Washington, D.C., is going L- ----'
to be. However, it is a good surmise that it will be a
comedy based on sad and true facts. The plot evolves
from the appointment of the late Harry Dexter White
to a high position with the Monetary Fund in 1946.
Usually, appointments of this sort are routine; the FBI
investigates the individual, a Senate Committee recom­mends
the confirmation, and then the Senate confirms
the man for the position. Everything did go according
to procedure, but now, seven years later, someone has
taken time to look at the facts.
Coming Attractions,. D. C.
The FBI investigation had revealed evidence indi­cating
Harry White was engaged in espionage ,activi­ties
against the U.S. A report was sent to the White
House prior to the appointment, but word of it never
reached the Senate. Meanwhile Mr. White was promoted
to Executive Director of the U.S. in the International
Monetary Fund. These are just a few of the facts, as
received from the pen of a new playwright and author
of the story, Attorney General Herbert BrownelL
One of the most interesting aspects of the play is
. the cast. It is led by H. S. Truman, known principally
for his early morning strolls and his tenacity in "sticking
to his friends," no matter what Senatorial investigation
committees have to say about them. Then we have the
pride of the United States Army, Brigadier General
Harry Hawkins Vaughan, known for his heroism in the
"freezer" campaign. This minion of the politicians,
Falstaff reincarnate, is truly a great actor and should
go a long way."
Brownell receives great support for his' plot fro~
T. Lamar Caudle. He is the fine Southern gentleman
who projected himself into the national spotlight for
his amazing mathematical formula that made income
tax reports a new source of income, Le., for his clients.
"Senator Claghorn" Caudle will never achieve the
heights to which Einstein has risen, but he did receive
mink coats and money. This is truly the ultimate in
casting.
For the solution of this problem and plot, we shall
have to wait. However from Seattle, Washington, on
November 11th, a "solution" was offered. The words
of wisdom came from the mouth of a woman whom we
all know ,as Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt. The widow of the
"Great White Father" claims that a change has taken
place in the nation's "moral climate," and that such a
change places the White case in a different perspective
from that of 1946.

Sodality
By PETER DEMARCO '56
The ensuing week will find
two Sodality projects in opera­tion:
Ted Figlock is leading his
Mission Crusaders in a drive to
collect stamps for the Jesuit Mis­sions.
The campaign cry is' "Save
souls by saving stamps!" .If the ,
men of Fairfield brought m but
two stamps each, the objective
would be rea c h e d, for two
stamps cannot help the missions
very much, but two added to
two, then others, soon amount to
a considerable sum.
Here are the simple but ne­cessary
regulations:
DO NOT bring in the common
lc, 2c, or 3c stamps, for they
have no purchasing power; nor
any cut, torn, or c rum pIe d
stamps.
PLEASE DO contribute all
pre-canceled stamps - tho.se
with two black lines across Its
face and the name of a city
or state between the lines (even
the 1, 2, 3c precancels.)
DO save all regular U. S.
stamps, new issues(NATO)~rold
issues (Win the War PresId~n­tials,
Special Delivery, .SpecI~l
Handling, Parcel Post, AIr Mall.
Postage Dues.
DO save all commemoratives
(famous Americans, etc.) and
Duck Stamps (very valuable.)
Please try to leave a 1,2 inch
margin of pap e r around each
stamps.
Stamp drives at Fairfield have
never been successes-but this
one must, for four million souls
are still waiting to hear about
God.
The Sacred H ear t League,
headed by Salvatore Salerno '55,
is also conducting its annual
drive for new members. As up­perclassmen
know,. admittance
into this purely spIrItual league
is completely voluntary, and the
requirements are simple. .
First degree members promIse
to say the Morning Offering each
day; second degree members add
the promise to aitend weekly
Mass and Holy Communion; and
third degree men further pro­mise
to say a decade of the
rosary each day.

The contest conducted by the
German Club for a new name
was won by Thomas Donnelly of
the class of 1955. His winning
name was Deutscher Kultur­Verein
(German Cultural Socie­ty),
and for his efforts, he was
presented with a beer stein on
Wednesday 11th, 1953. A total
of 25 entries were submitted,
and the name was selected on
the basis of consciousness, de­scriptiveness,
and propriety.
In addition to this talk, two
color films will be shown. One
will be on the old medieval cities
of Germany and the other on
the Bavarian Alps - Germany's
playground. Refreshments will
be served and an invitation is
extended to everyone with at­tendance
not restricted to D.K.V.

the season opens against a pow­erful
Adelphi College team. The
Stags are seeking revenge for
the 95-75 defeat given them by
the Panthers from Long Island
last season. Coach Jim Hanrahan
starts his fourth season as head
coach and Stan Suchenski, his
first as assistant, and they are
both confident that with leaders
like Bobby and Paul, the team
will enjoy a banner 'year.
With the opening game just a week away the an­nouncement
has been made of the election of Bob Mar­kovic
and Paul Frauenhofer as co-captains of the Red
Stag basketball forces. Both men are hustling ball
players and Fairfield basketball fans are expecting a
real fighting team with these men as captains. Both
Bob and Paul are seniors playing their fourth season of
varsity ball for the Stags.

Markovic
Markovic, a 6'1" guard, hails
from Naugatuck, Conn., and
played high school ball at Sac­red
Heart High and Marianapolis
Prep. In his freshman year at
Fairfield, he set several scoring
records, including his mark of
321 for the season, a mark which
still stands. and was one of the
principle reasons for the success
of that team, the greatest in
Fairfield history. In his sopho­more
year, Bob set another rec­ord
by scoring 31 points in the
opening game against Brooklyn
Poly, which was broken last year
by Stan Suchenski. However, an
injured knee in the lona game
ended his playing for the season.
Last year Bob was again ham­pered
by the injury. but played
enough to mean the difference
between a good and bad season
for the Stags. He placed third on
the club in rebounds and fourth
in scoring, even though he miss­ed
several games completely.

for car troubles, all of
which have to do with careless­ness
or thoughtlessness. He used
the unique comparison of the
car to a human being. As the
body needs food at breakfast to
convert it to energy, so, too, does
the engine need food, this being
old, to operate effectively. Prob­,
able results of racing, when the
motor is cold, are poor gas
mileage and burning of oil. Mr.
Geremia also spoke on the ne­cessity
of cleanliness.' He
showed how dirt disrupts the
functions of the car and how
lack of lubrication is the cause
of many a worn bearing.
Slides were shown of the ex­perimental

The Stags of Fairfield University, under the guid­ance
of Coach James Hanrahan, are now engaging in
extensive drills and intra-squad scrimmages for their
initial encounter of the 1953-1954 basketball season on
November 27. A highly regarded Adelphi College "five"
will form the opposition. The outstanding flaw, how­ever,
in the Stag's attack, is the lack of height. Once
again the Stag's must rely on speed and hustle to bet­ter
last season's mark of nine up and nine down.

lineup after a year's absence. He
should aptly fill the spot va­cated
by last year's co-captain
Norb Fahey. Another of last sea­son's
standouts-Stan Suchenski
-will also be missed. Stan will
become Coach Hanrahan's assis­tant
since he has used up his
intercollegiate eligibility.
Freshmen Players
Members of last year's unde­feated
Freshman team should
also bolster the team. Jack Nick
and Dan Pisacane, the team's
highest scorers, will, not be no­vices
in a varsity uniform. Nick
was the first substitute used in
last year's hotly contested ball
game with a highly favored St.
Francis' team. Pisacane, after a
slow start, "found" himself at
mid-season and became a con­sistant
scorer with both ;the var­sity
and freshman teams for the
remaining part of the campaign.
Experienced Team
A big asset to Coach Hanrahan
is the' over-all experience of his
team. Returning lettermen in­clude
seniors Bob Markovic and
Paul Frauenhofer. Bob is an out­standing
offensive and defensive
threat. while Paul is a fine ball
handler. They are both starting
their fourth season with Fairfield
and should be the "take charge
guys" on the count this year.
Other returning lettermen are
juniors Bob Gerwein, Jack O'­Connell,
and "Long" Jim Roche.
The latter three, along with Mar­kovic,
could well be the chief
offensive threats for the Stags.
Gerwein and Roche are the tall
men of Iihe te'am, Bob at 6'3" and
Jim at 6'5". Despite the teams
lack of height, Gerwein and
Roche were able to control both
the offensive and defensive
boards in many of last se'ason's
gAmes.

Congratulations to the members of Fairfield's Cross Country

have been enjoying one of their most successful seasons, and
they close out the schedule against CCNY on November 29. Harry
Quinn, John Smyth, Al Purcell, Gerry Garvey. Pete Rackiewicz
and the other members of the team have done a great job, and
since none are seniors, prospects for the future are bright.

for Bullard-Havens Tech, is one of the returning veterans.
The eastern seaboard basketball fans will have a chance to
see the fabulous Bevo Francis in action this year against big
time colleges. Rio Grande, Bevo's alma mater, has announced
a 28-game scheoJule which includes such opponents as North Caro­lina
State, Wake Forest, Providence, Bradley, Seattle, St. Louis U.
and Adelphi. Bevo was stripped of his records by the NCAA
last year because he didn't make them all against recognized col­leges.
However, his 50.6 per game' average and 116 in one game
were enough to impress most hoop followers, even if they, along
with his season's total of 2100 points, aren't in the record books.
This year the 6'7" star will have a chance to see action in the
big time, and even Howard Hobson won't be able to find fault
with these opponents.

THE STAG
Dear Editor:
This is in regards to the re­cent
article appearing in the
Stag concerning the validity of
Freshman elections for the Stu­dent
Council. The intent of the
article seems to me to make
known the ract that the Fresh­man
elections will be in viola­tion
of the Student Constitution
and hence be inv,alid, the sig­nificance
being "not in the mat­ter
but in the act." By this the
student would assume that the
writer is concerned not so much
with the fact that elections are
not taking place on the day
specified but rather that an in­fringement
is being en-acted
against the Constitution ,and
t.hat the writer is against a
practice of this kind.
The student must concur with
the writer that any infringe­ment
on our constitution is
something to be guarded
against. But as for the validity
of the elections unless they can
be shown to be truly against the
spirit of the Constitution they
are indeed legal. If not, and to
carry out the writer's argu­ments
to their logical conclu­sion,
it would seem that the
Freshman Class can not be rep­resented
on the Council until
an amendment is enacted which
would take about 'a month
(assuming the amendment
would be passed) ,and this is
certainly in violation of the
Constitution.
Actually, a Constitution is
more than a few pieces of paper
with words on it. The Constitu­tion
is a norm by which we at
Fairfield guide our activities. We
must remember it taS a norm
and not as a master that makes
us do things against our wishes.
And I am sure no one wants to
deprive the Freshmen of their
seats on the Council. In other
words, we must always inter­pret
it in the spirit in which it
is written, not merely by the
letter.
Now the question arises who
is to interpret the Constitution?
Inasmuch as it is highly im­practioal
that 600 students sit
down at will and discuss campus
problems; we have an elected
Council to do this for us. To
them we entrust the care of our
common funds. To them we en­trust
the guidance of our ac­tivities.
And to them belongs
the power of interpreting the
Constitution.
As to the spirit of the Consti­tuion
. . . In the students' opin­ion
the Constitution intends not
to see that Freshman elections
are held at a certain hour, a cer­tain
day, a certain week, .a cer­tain
month of the year, but
rather to insure the Freshman
class of four validly elected rep­resentatives.
It is to their ad­vantage
to have this election
held as early ,as possible in the
year. Hence the element of time
was inserted in the Constitu­tion.
Let us then keep in mind
the real intent of the Constitu­tion
and see that this class
which is as important as any
other is represented as soon as
possible. Let us repair our error
by not putting off any longer
what should have taken place
already. And 'above all, let us
not make a mistake that can be
very embarrassing, and think of
every Freshman as "little".
Sincerely,
JOHN McDERMOTT
