Fairfield University was represented at the Winter
Council meeting of the National Federation of Catholic
College Students held at Providence College on February
14 and 15, by Jack McDermott and Gerry Smith.

all over New England, reviewed
the work of the Federation
Commissions and formulated
final plans for the Regional
Congress to be held in April.
Report
Of special interest to Fairfield
delegates was the vice-president's
report on Commissions.
The F'amily Life Commission at
Fairfield was rated as excellent.
The work of Mr. Smith, his staff
and their monthly bulletin has
gained recognition throughout
the region.
Program
The Council opened its session
Saturday with an address
by the Very Reverend Robert J.
Slavin, O.P., President of Providence
College, and adjourned
Sunday evening at 6 o'clock
with a prayer by Reverend
Ant h 0 n y Jurgelaitus, O.P.,
N.F.C.C.S. moderator at Providence.

On Thursday, February 12, Fairfield's Department
of Education played host to a meeting of the S.E.A.C.
(Students Education Association of Connecticut).
Despite the fact that the elements were not cooperative
that day, a sizable group of future teachers descended
upon our campus. They represented Danbury State
Teachers, University of Connecticut, University of
Bridgeport, New Haven State Teachers and Fairfield.

The Legislative Committee of
the Student Council, under the
chairmanship of J-ack Welch,
has completed a revision of the
point system for the Honor Society.
The suggested revision
will be placed in the form of a
resolution to Fr. Langguth. This
revision, which was suggested
by Fr. Langguth, attempts to
equate the points in relation to
the responsibility and amount
of effort expended. Also included
in the revision are new organizations
on campus which
previously were not recognized.
The former system has not
been altered essentially by this
resolution, as a man still must
maintain a high standard in
marks, plus outstanding contribution
to extra-curricular activities
in order to qualify. The
Dean will also screen the candidates,
as before, and have the
right to make allowances under
out s tan din g circumstances,
thereby giving the system a degree
of elasticity.

Investigated
The need for men of integrity
and high ethical standards is
great in the legal profession,
Mr. Goldstein asserted, and
Fairfield produces such educated
and learned men with the
proper conditioning in morality.
The importance of such standards
can never be overestimated,
and men who cherish and
uphold such principles, he continued,
will definitely find
"room on top" in the legal profession.
The highlights of his
talk, however, were the different
cases which he discussed,
e.g., the Carrol case, and the
controversial Carol Paight case.

In the article, "Italian Club
ns The Met Guild," which
appeared in the January 15
edition of The STAG, reference
was made to a membership
fee of ten dollars, which,
the article stated, was paid
by the Italian Club. In reality,
however, it was the
Student Council that appropriated
the funds for membership
in the Guild. For it
felt that all students should
benefit from such an organization.
The STAG, therefore,
belatedly apologizes for
its error.
The first annual Father Ryan Memorial Banquet
which was. held Monday evening, February 16, featured
Attorney David Goldstein as guest speaker. Approximately
fifty students and members of the Public Affairs
Club attended the affair and heard the first-hand discussionof
cases which were outstanding in the legal career
of this eminent lawyer;
Tribute
Prior to the talk, Father Kinsella,
S.J., professor of history
and religion at Fairfield, paid
tribute to the late Father Ryan,
S.J., who had been the moderator
of the Public Afflairs Club,
head of the Bridgeport Chapter
of the Diocesan Labor Institute
and Coordinator of the Social
Science Department as well as
professor of Economics. His understanding
and toleranCe were
extolled and served as an example
of Christian charity in -a
troubled world. Following this
moving tribute, the toastmaster,
George Jaser, introduced the
guest speaker.
The pros and cons of the national
topic, "Resolved: that the
Federal government s h 0 u 1d
adopt a Fair Employment Practices
Act," were debated here at
Fairfield, and ·at Albertus Magnus
College last Friday.
Upholding the negative side
of the question here at Fairfield
were John McDermott and
Dutch Macchia, who vied with
the Albertus team in a contest
of wits. The debate was awarded
the Fairfield team, but
Albertus captured the prize for
the best speaker.
The Fairfield team that journeyed
to New Haven, i.e., John

awarded a draw and thus the

The work and preparation of several months came
to realization Sunday, February 15, when the Lingua
Association conducted its first meeting at St. Joseph
College in Harftord.
This group is a union of the
language clubs of Fairfield University
and St. Joseph College.
Its purpose is the widening and
augmenting of the students'
knowledge of and interest in
language and its stu d y. The
meetings will provide an opportunity
for the members to gain
a wider prospectus of their languages
than c 0 u 1d be gained
from class work alone. The emphasis
is primarily on the cultural
aspects of language rather
than on semantics.
In the discussion of common
norm for all tongues, Latin and
its maternal influence on the
Romance 'Languages was the
theme. There were four papers
presented. F'rom Fairfield, Alfred
Annunziata gave "The Evolution
of Italian from Latin"
and Richard Sansonetti presented
"Dante, Man of Religion."
Representing St. Joseph, Mary
Lee Moriarty presented a paper
on "The Origin and Development
of the Latin Tongue," and
Mary Lehan spoke on "Christian

many of us should remember
that the Church is still no mere
white man's church. If we are
to welcome the Negro into our
faith we must kill prejudice and
bigotry. Indeed, as Catholics,
we know only too well how the
forces of intolerance work. The
tragic story of "The triumph ot
prejudice" is the Al Smith case.
Need for Understanding
If we are all members of the
Mystical Body of Christ, how
can we deny the Negro equality?
If we esteem the obligations
of Christ's greatest commandment,
charity, so highly
with regard to fellow whites,
how can we ignore the Negro?
These 'are the questions which
we must ask ourselves, and to
alleviate the situation, Mr. Vail
favored greater understanding
and benevolence on the part of
all Catholics based upon the
Catholic moral philosophy and
principles.
Henry Mountain, President of
the Public Affairs Club was
elected Junior delegate to the
C.I.S.L. at the February 4, meeting.
Fairfield had been without a
Junior delegate this year and in
view of this, Mr. Mountain, as
President of the Public Affairs
Club, assumed the voting rights
that an official delegate would
have.
Ronald Homza, Fairfield Senior
Delegate, expressed his confidence
in the new delegate and
stated that Mr. Mountain's long
period of activity in C.I.S.L.
affairs would serve Fairfield
well.

Mr. Vail delivered an interesting and enlightening
discourse entitled "Inter-racial Justice" with regard to
the Catholic viewpoint of the problem, on Wednesday,
February 18.
Sponsorship
This event was sponsored by
the Public Affairs Club in observance
of National InterRacial
Justice Week. Chairman
of the event was a junior, Mr.
John McDermott, who introduced
the guest speaker.
Negro Problem
Mr. Vail, professor of Sociology
at Fairfield, discussed race
prejudice and inequality and,
more pertinently, the "Negro
problem". He pointed out that
race prejudice is not innate, but
rather the product of "unthinking"
and bigoted parents. It is
his belief that as long as the
force of greed and ignorance becloud
men's intellects, we cannot
'approach the Negro problem
with any immediate logical solutions.
Too TOany of us don't
think about our social relations
with fellow Negroes.
Apt Questions
Father Gillis sums it up very
aptly: "What is the black man's
place? Was he designed by nature
to be, and must he ever remain,
a subject race, less than
wholly hum'an, a foot-stool for
the white man, a lesser breed
without the law, a pariiah? Was
there placed upon him, aboriginally
by his Creator, the mark
of the beast, of the stigma of
Ishmael? Was he in the beginning
anathematized by God and
must he be, in consequence, interdicted
·and excommunicated
by God's favorite, the white
man?" Here, then, is food for
thought.
Negro-White Marriages
The problem of Negro rights
and Negro - white marriages
were discussed in detail. Some
Catholics feel that there is something
in Canon Law which prohibits
interracial marriages. Mr.
Vail corrected this by saying
there is no such bar nor can
there be.
Lack of Negro Catholics
Another question which faces
the American Catholic in the
United States is why are there
so relatively few Negro Catholics
in our own country? It is
asserted that prejudice knows
no religious boundaries and
consequently many Catholics
have been highly responsible for
ill-feeling between the Church
and the colored race. Moreover,

Inter-Racial Justice
On Tuesday evening, February
24, the F'airfield University
Glee Club journeyed to Torrington,
Connecticut, to present the
second concert of the 1953 season.
The event was sponsored
by the Holy Name Society of
St. Peter's parish, with Mr.
Simon Harak conducting the
group. The first number on the
program was the traditional
"Men in Red," followed by the
"Halls of Ivy" and "Brothers
Sing On." John Bigley took the
spot light and, in his tenor
voice, gave his rendition of "I'll

There is a metaphysical principle which states that
the whole is greater than its parts. An example of this
principle in action is the concept of a university. A university
is greater than its parts, the student; yet 'without
the latter, there would be no ins.titute of higher
learning. Implied in this principle, then, is the fact that
the aggregate unit is dependent on its parts; it needs the
latter for existence. The university demands the support
of every individual in all its endeavors. At Fairfield,
it seems the student body has failed in this capacity.
This is especially evident from the student attendance
at basketball games, which has been, to say the least,
rather poor. Undoubtedly there is a lack of interest in
the athletic program and a subsequent lack of school
spirit on the part of the student body.
At every game, a small nucleus has led the cheering
and has spurred the team to victory and, more often,
defeat, but the greater part of Fairfield men has failed
. to attend. Why this lack of interest? An explanation
is forthcoming, but we can only venture a guess. For
one, the team has sometimes let the student body down
by playing a defeatist game, and by slip-shod ball handling.
But this is no reason why we should withdraw our
support. When a man is down, we don't kick him in the
ribs; we help him to his feet, and encourage him to stand
alone. So, too, at the games; when the team is in a
slump, that's a time for moral support from the cheering
section. That's the time we can adequately express our
exuberance and school spirit. Let us remember, moreover,
that the schedule which the Stags had to complete
was trying and difficult, (three consecutive games on
three consecutive nights, for example), before we pass
judgment on the team.
Regardless of sentiment to the contrary, Fairfield is
fortunate in having an excellent ball club, which has
played outstanding games against such teams as
St. Francis, Providence, and last Friday's tussle with
New Britain. The Fairfield five has given its time and
energy to a sport which has been publicity for the University;
the least we can do is support our one major
athletic endeavor and cheer it on to victory.
On Saturday, we meet our rivals, the Purple
Knights of UB, for the second time. This will be a close
contest, but if we, the student body, attend the game
en masse to give our moral support to the team, victory
will be ours.

This article will be slightly off
the general trend of my "roving
ear" policy, but nevertheless it
is an important matter that pertains
to all of us. As statistics
will have it, there will be a certain
few who will be inducted
or who will enlist in one of the
Armed Forces; a certain percent
will be lunlucky ones as statistics
further state. These "chosen
few" will echo the tragic cry of
those who have gone before
them, "Medic!" Some will livethe
majority, we hope. Others?
Well, you've heard of the blinding
phrase, "we regret to inform
you ..."!
Have you realized the implication
contained in the above
lines? How forceful should one
get when a plea for help needs
to be fulfilled? Perhaps a reference
to the "Reader's Digest"
and their "book section" in the
February issue would offer a
suggestion. The book is "Down
from the Ridges" and, in my
estimation, no one aside from
the eye witness can emphasize
the importance of a pint of blood.
Perhaps now, my title is a bit
clearer. To the dying man what
would be more of a "heart
throb" than a pint of blood?
Probably, another pint of blood!
I will assume that I have hit the
nail on the head and have driven
it sufficiently. Yes, your blood
is needed and only the words of
those "chosen few" I mentioned
above can explain how badly. If
I may borrow a slogan from a
traffic sign: "the life you save
may be your own."
P.S. I have already heard one
remark on my article. "Don't
you think that it will scare some
of the guys a little bit?" I can
only say that if they have to be
scared into it today, I hope that
they can be scared into giving
an extra pint some other day!

Thus, it is not too absurd to
generalize that the 'world is
seriously affect.ed by what we
do in the East.
Eisenhower's Order
President Eisenhower's order,
however, removes any doubt of
the possibility of a surrender of
either of these strategic sections.
There has been discussion favorable
to such a plan. But under
the Truman "hot-house" policy,
such a plan could not have materializ'ed.
Dulles' Role
Mr. Donnarumma was also interested
in pointing out that we
should alter the tone of our approach
toward the peoples of
the Far East. "The Communists
have dealt with the people of
the East on a basis of equality;
the European has never forgotten
that he is white, of a race
apart and above those whom he
condescends to help." We must
come, and come soon, to the
realistic view that we must appeal
to the Asiatics through the
heart by means of Fellowship.
Mr. Donnarumma feels that
John Foster Dulles is the man
who can curb this improper
attitude.
Mr. McCarthy
On February 8th, Mr. Mathew
J. McCarthy, assistant professor
of government and history, discussed
the problems in the
topic: "The Dulles versus the
Kennan Foreign Policy." The
discussion was moderated by
Mr. John Meaney; Messrs. John
Buckley and Lawrence Schaeffer
were members of the student
panel. This program is presented

"The removal of the Seventh Fleet is indicative of
the fact that President Eisenhower has a comprehensive
cognizance and appreciation of the general Asiatic problem
and the specific Korean problem," stated Carmen
F. Donnarumma, assistant. professor of History and
Government at Fairfield University, February 15, over
Station WICC, on the weekly faculty-student panel discussion:
"Fairfield University Interpr~ts the News."
Truman-Acheson Policy
The important ingredient that
spells tte difference between the
Truman - Acheson policy and
that of President Eisenhower,
through the voice of John F.
Dulles, is their respective attitudes
toward our line of defense
in the Pacific and comprehension
of the ambitions of International
Communism. The Truman-
Acheson policy was a
negative program which called
for concession if necessary, but
only this sort of negativism.
Korea
Our entry into Korea was certainly
a sound move, but not
for the reasons that motivated
the former administration. They
believed that this move was
proper in order to frustrate, if
only momentarily, Communistic
aggression. This short-sighted
view of the significance of the
Korean conflict led to the blockade
order to the Seventh Fleet.
Importance of Korea
Mr. Donnarumma went on to
point out that this order belied,
on the part of the Truman policy,
any understanding of the
value of the Korean peninsula
to a nation interested in the
domination of the Pacific. Korea
projects itself towards Japan
and the chain of islands that
barricade the China mainland
in such a way as to make it the
focal point of any plan of defense
in the Pacific. If either
Korea or Formosa were in the
hands of a belligerent power,
the United States would be
forced to withdraw their defense
line to our own coast which
would necessitate a similar
coastal defense on the Atlantic.

The character delineation and
structural development are well

But what is Miller saying?
Quite obviously he is troubled
by the present sorties on our
Constitutional guarantees; he is
troubled by the unreasoning
fear and the vengeance launched
on non-conformists by "superpatriots"
in the name of freedom.
The present era is one of
hate, unthinking; it is eclipsing
our freedom and preparing us,
not unlikely, for war. Drawing
the obvious parallel, which Miller
evidently desires we' draw,
we may well stop and think: Do
we honestly support the freedom

A lonely but powerful thrust
at the aggressor within has come
to Broadway. It is Arthur Miller's
new play, "The Crucible,"
and the puthor of "Death of a
Salesman" has again shown
deep perception in honestly portraying
the sordid but rampant
aspects of American life, if only
this time as an obvious parallel.
The subject of Miller's new
play is the Salem Witchcraft
craze that blotched our colonial
history and caused thinking men
to wonder of the fate of our land.
Fortunately, this epidemic of
nonsense, built on false accusation
and unjustified execution,
did not sweep throughout the
colonies; it was extinguished in
time, but not before the lives of
many innocents were taken.
John Proctor, the hero in this
play (Arthur Kennedy), is trapped
by a fantastic web of airy
allegations in his attempt to save
his wife accused of conjuring
the Devil (Beatrice Straight).
The town's adolescents, who
"dance naked in the forest in
the moonlight," serve as the prosecution;
their testimony is an
adventure in evasion and makebelieve.

The Fairfield Frosh ran up
four more victories over the
past two weeks to continue their
season undefeated. The Frosh
now have won eleven straight
games and need to win their remaining
three games to close
out the season with an unblemished
mark.
The young Stags showed just
how good they really are by
coming from behind twice to defeat
Cheshire Academy at the
Armory and the New Britain
Freshmen in the Hardware City.
Cheshire was the most powerful
team the Frosh faced. They
held a small lead almost to the
end. With three minutes remaining,
the Stags countered
three successive baskets by Jim
Gallagher, Dan Pisacane and
Jack Nick to forge to the front.
Pisacane then batted in a rebound
to ice the game at 44-40.
Nick scored 13 points against
Cheshire's troublesome zone to
emerge as high scorer.
In New Britain, the Frosh
were forced to erase a 10-point
deficit in the last quarter to protect
their unbeaten string. With
Pavel and Gallagher leading the
way, they took the lead with
but seconds remaining and held
on to win.
The Stags showed that this
game was not merely an accident
by soundly whipping New
Britain's JV's. 61-26, at the
Armory. New Britain was never
in the game. The Stags' tremendous
defense was at its best
in this game. New Britain could
score only 7 field goals in the
game. Pavel tallied 17 markers.
Pisacane and Paul Williams also

Four FU scoring records fell as the Stags turned in
their seventh win of the season over a strong Providence
College team in the Rhode Island city.
Stanley Suchenski shattered
the individual game scoring mark
set by Bob Markovic against
Brooklyn Poly, by scoring 36
ooints in the rout. Stan also
broke Joe Kehoe's record with
14 .fieldgoals. The other which
fell during the onslaught was
the team's scoring record of 104
against Arnold in 1952. and the
43 field goals shattered the old
mark.
The Stal!s and Friars played
on even terms for the first several
minutes but the Redmen
showed signs of turnin.!; it into
a rout. in the final minutes of the
n~riod. ending the canto with a
28-21 lead. In the second quarter,
Sucpens1<i, Fahev and Gerwien
broke loose and olltscored
the Friars; their star, Bob Moran,
leaving the floor with a 5342
lead. In the second half, the
Stags continued their record
shattering olay and scored almost
at will.
Behind Suchenski in the scoring
column were Bob Gerwien,
who played another great game,
with 25 and the scorching Norb
Fahev with 2~. Jack O'Connell
also flashed with 10 points.
Four Friar players hit double
figures with Moran netting 20,

five. The Stags, led by Bob Gerwien,
jumped to an early lead
and had little trouble in coasting
to their fifth win of the season
and their fourth on the Armory
court. Five of the Redmen
hit for double figures, Gerwien
tallying 14, followed by Jack
O'Connell, Duke Roche, and
Norb Fahey with 12 and the
ret.urning Bob Markovic hitting
for 11. Fahey was particularly
outstanding with his sparkling
floor playas well as his excellent
scoring. The visitors from
Massachusetts lacked a good tall
man and' the boards were con-trolled
by the Fairfield Big
Three of Gerwien, Roche, and
Stan Suchenski.
Fairfield 93, Newark 54
The Stags ran wild on the
Armory court and chalked up
their sixth win of the year by
pasting a lack-luster squad from
Newark ColI e g e. The Stags
jumped to a quick 7-0 lead and
ran the score to 39-21 at the end
of the half. In the second half
Coach Jim Hanrahan was able
to rest most of his regulars, as his
reserves continued to roll up the
score against the hapless Jerseyites.
Danny Pisacane showed
some of the excellent shooting
that made him an All State
performer at Shelton, when he
connected on four consecutive
shots in the third period.
Bob Gerwien again led the
scorers with 23 points followed
by Fahey with 13 and Pisacane
with 12.' Duke Roche was outstanding,
grabbing 17 rebounds
and scoring 9 points.

entire purpose of the team was lost. The boys were shuttled up
and down between the varsity and the yearling squad. And in
some cases, this might have hurt the confidence of a player, and
also cut the players' experience to a minimum.
For instance, Jim Gallagher, a promising rebounder, would be
on the freshman club in one game, and play the better part of it.
Then he would also play in the varsity game; while Dan Pissicane,
All-State from Shelton, would not even play with the freshman
team, yet he wouldn't get into the varsity game,' eith~r. Finally,
he asked to play with the freshman team. When he dId that, he
found himself also seeing action with the varsity. John Nick, a
stocky guard from Long Island, started out sloly. By mid-season
he was starting with the freshman team. All of a sudden, he
was on the v,arsity, the first substitute against St. Francis, and
played in all the games on the road tip. When the Stags returned
to the Armory for the Stonehill game, he didn't even dress for the
varsity game.-???? Big Ed Hogan started the season with the'
varsity, and saw little action; he has never played with the freshmen.
Later on, he went to the freshman team, but was used rather
sparingly there also. Tex Pavel wasn't even starting on the
freshman team; all of a sudden, he's on the varsity. The only
member of me freshman team who is well off is Henry Higgins,
a good playmaker who starts and plays well every g'ame; he has
not yet made a varsity appearance. Who knows? We do have
one more game left. Are you confused? Well, so am I!
Finally, a plan to pick an All-Jesuit ba.sketball team has been
ina.ugurated by the St. Louis University News and Tom Callahan,
editor. The idea behind the selection is, primarily, to pick a team
which will represent one of the significant achievements amongst
Jesuit colleges. To date, however, only ten of the twenty-seven
Jesuit Institutions have handed in their selections. I hope this
doesn't doom the idea to failure. More on this later.

and adhere to the needs of the
guest team as regards towels,
soap, and oranges. Marly times,
the manager must act as scorekeeper
or timer, particularly in
basketball and track.
That's the summary ·of regulations
that would be in a manager's
rule book. Packed into a
brief paragraph, they seem easy
and simple enough, but they
require a great deal (if time to
fulfill.
Requirements
The job will be as easy or
hard as you make it. Like
everything else, you have to
like what you're doing. The
most essential thing for a
manager is that he must like
the sport of which he is now a
part. Of course, this statement
doesn't infer that he be a Jack
O'Connell set-artist, or a ·Jack
Doheny on the mound. An enthusiastic
liking of the sport
will naturally draw forth an
understanding also, an understanding
of the rigors, perserverance,
and abilities it requires
of the team. Understanding
also leads to appreciaton here,
an appreciation of individual
and team performances
and good sportsmanship, win or
lose. Then finally, as ·an add~d
incentive for himself, the manager
must have a realization that
he is seeing ball-playing at its
finest, second-best to the pros.
So, the manager must have his
qualities, too - a liking, understanding,
appreciation ,and realization.
Rewards
What are the rewards of the
manager? Let's say his chief reward
is synonymous with that
Sunday evening television program
entitled, "You Are There."
He is that hidden viewer on
every sports scene. He hears the
coach's words of wisdom in the
locker room, he partakes of the
players' gossip on the bench, he
sees the winning points made,
or the tie-breaking single, he
witnesses old records broken
and new ones made. Those are
exciting experiences.

March 6 and 7. However,. the
senior delegate, Ronald Homza,
urges all who are interested in
the course to attend these informative
discussions. The lecture
periods themselves, however,
will not be conducted in
the formal classroom procedure
but rather as informal panel
discussions, insofar as every
student will particip-ate and act
as an integral part of the program.
The procedure which will
be followed at these discussions
will be in the form of mock legislature,
consisting of the election
of officers and formal presentation
of measures, etc. With
such a course of instruction,
Fairfield University will be well
represented at the CISL convention
in March.

plaids, small tick patterns and solid colors.
