There is a tremendous advantage in attending an infant uni­VErsity.
When you start at the bottom, the only place you can go,
is-Up. Fairfield has begun the climb, and it isn't easy. The univer­sity
could use a boost.
"Stag"
2. Take more interest in the "Stag". Let it echo the students
voices more so than it now does. This could be a wonderful media
for action, if the students showed a greater participation, both in
writing for it, and reading it.
New Clubs
4. Found new organizations. There is a crying need for them.
Only last week, the first Literary Magazine of the University was
begun. Along with this was founded a Literary Forum. I have
tried to organize a school orchestra or band, with not too great
success. Only 12 men indicated any interest. 12-0ut of more than
600. This is a disgrace! We need cheerleaders. We need a gl'OUp to
serve as the backbone for spiTit in schools [affairs.
These suggestions are a mere fraction of the needs of the
school. Much, much more must be done. Who's going to do it? Un­less
Heaven sends us some assorted Seraphim, (or some· such) the
answer is obvious. I, for one, will not rest, I promise you, until
we as a group fulfil our obligations to Fairfield. She is giving us
an education, and we must give her something in return. Let it be
our loyalty and devotion. Only an ingrate could refuse.
Other Clubs
3. Revamp and support existing (barely) school organizations.
Much work is needed here. The language clubs acr"e slowing up.
There is a lack of interest in the Sodality, making it only
semi-effectual. (The fact that it is a spiritual organization, and in
a Catholic school, makes the situation all the more deplorable.)
These are but a few. Just look around.

Mr. Dulles' problem, on the other hand, was a bit
vexing also: the dilemma of increasing Pakistan's mili­tary
effectiveness against Communistic aggression
without destroying our neutrality in regard to the
Kashmir dispute. Evidently, Mr. Dulles has taken the
bold aggressive-approach with the hope that smaller
problems will solve themselves.
Unfortunately, India .has reacted vigorously in
opposition to this maneuver; and it seems to have given
added support to the Indian factions that are already
hostile to our policies. Furthermore, lit seems that Mr.
Dulles' diplomatic acumen failed to take notice
of the first principle ·of diplomatic success as voiced
by Bismarck, the father of tactics: "Achieve your ob­jective
but make sure all parties are merry."
J. K. L.
India has voiced strong and cer,tain objection to
this decision of military assistance; and in turn, these
objections have been labeled either communistic or
S'oftness toward communism. I fear, however, that these
criticisms are only an attempt to hood what might prove
to be a grave diplomatic error.

At the present moment, India's relationship with
Pakistan is dependent upon the success of a United
Nations Commission which is studying ,the armed dis­pute
between these two countries over the problem
of Kashmir. According to this Commission's report,
it has been impossible to find any agreeable foundation
upon which a plebiscite could be held to determine
Kashmir's fate: either asa princely sta,te of the Indian
Commonwealth or as a member :of the Moslem League.
And fudhermore, the report speaks of the growing
friction which might disturb an already uneasy truce
"with 'Pakistan and Indian forces facing one another
along the .cease-fire line." Under these conditions, a
chaTge of communism can hardly be justified.
Recently, President Eisenhower implemented John
Foster Dulles' plan for enrolling Pakistan in our ever
growing chain surrounding the Soviet Union. On the
surface, military assistance to Pakistan might appear
to be a wise diplomatic move; for the flaw in 'our inter­national
perimeter-defense has been the violence and
indecisive 10ya'lties of the countries stretching from
Iran, in the Near East, to Indo-China, in South Asia.
Thus this military friendliness with Pakistan seems to
strengthen us at our weakest point. However, we have
evidently effected this alliance at the risk of losing a
bigger prize: India.

Dewey, The Pragmatist
Compliments
Dewey, although, a misguided
genius, proved to be preoccupied
with some very impor,tant truths;
nameIy, the principles which
govern society, the notion of self
activity on the part of the stu­dent,
that one learns by, doing,
e.g., painting, sculpture, music
and poetry, that experience is
definitely a valid source of
knowledge and has been over­looked
for a. long time.

Tel. 68-9471-3-9555
Seaking their fifth straight
win, the Stags were soundly de­feated
by a powerful LeMoyne
team, 86-74. The New Yorkers
who had previously romped
over such formidible opponents
as Boston College, Canisius, and
Siena were ahead of the Stags
17-16 at the end of the first quar­ter.
The Stags then suffered an
offensive lapse and were only
able to score one field goal in
the second quarter. The half­time
score was 33-23. In the third
period, LeMoyne continued to
flourish a red hot offensive
sparked by the set shooting of
Captain Dick Kenyon who was
high scorer with 33 points. Go­ing
into the fourth quarter at
the tail end of a 61-44 count, the
Stags began to hit; but they were
unable to catch up with the New
Yorkers. Jack O'Connell and
Fred Lane were high scorers for
Fairfield with the former mesh­ing
26 points and the latter gar­nering
16. Bob Gerwein chipped
in with 11 points and Marcovic
hit for 10.
Fairfield vs. T.C.C.
The Stags were upset by T.C.C. i
last week by a 74-68 score.
Jumping to a quick start, the
Stags led at the end of the
first quarter, 18-13 and at the
half by 36-29 t h l' 0 ugh the
play of Fred Lane and Jim
Roche. However, the Stags were
only able to connect for three
field goals in the third period
falling behind 57-47. That period
proved fatal as the Stags were
never able to catch up. The de­ciding
factor in the game was
foul shooting: both teams con­nected
for 24 double deckers but
T.C.C. cashed in on six more
fouls than we did. Fred Lane
was the offensive star for the
Stags, scoring 23 points, while
Jack O'Connell and Jim Roche
followed close behind with 18
and 14 points respectively.
BASKETBALL STATISTICS
Congroatulations to this year's basketball team and Coach Jim
Hanrahan for a very successful season. The last time the Stags
swept the U.B. series was in 1950-1951. The series now stands 7-5
in favor of the Stags. Statistics show that the squad connected for
487 field goals in 1313 attempts for a very good 37 %, 321 foul con­versions
in 556 attempts for 60 0/0; poor foul shooting cost the Stags
at least two victories. Individual averages show that Bob Gerwein
had the best shooting average caging 97 field goals in 237 attempts
for 41 %; Jim Roche is next with 39%, then Fred Lane with 38%.
O'Connell led the team in foul shots by connecting for 72% of his
attempts (54 out of 75); Bob Markovic was next with 66% or 45
out of 71. Jim Roche was the leading rebounder with an average
of 11.4 per game - Bob Gerwien follows with an even 11 rebounds
per game. The Stags ,averaged 71.9 points per game against 67.5
for the opposition which is an all around improvement over the
1952-1953 squad. (That team had an offensive average of 70.44
against 68.11 for the opponents.) Leading scorers were Bob Ger­wien
with 268 points and a 14.3 average and Jack O'Donnell with
269 points and ,a 13.5 average. Gerwien needs only 183 points to
hit the 1,000 point score of his college career.
Golf Team
This year's Golf Team should be just as strong .as last year's
(undefeated) with four letter men returning: Jim Homa, Ed Crea­tura,
Neil Morrow and Harry Quinn. Bob Newall, a Freshman,
has been heralded as the 100 yard man that the track team is in
need of. The Baseball schedule is still incomplete but all returning
lettermen ,are hoping for a good schedule and good weather.
Because of bad weather, last year's team was able to play only
seven games.
Major League Baseball
With Major League Baseball soon to get under way, our pre­dictions
as to who will win the pennant in each league are: in ,the
National, we pick St. Louis, Milwaukee, Brooklyn, Philadelphia,
New York, Cincinnati, Chicago, and Pittsburgh, in that order. In Playmaker Bobby Marcovic

DISPUTATION
(Continued from Page One)
Hughes, '54. Pat Pagliarullo, '54,
Laurence Shiembob, '54, and
James Bacik, '54. The second
speaker was Robert Mazairz who
was introduced by John McDer­mott,
moderator of the second
half of the disputation. His ob­jectors
included: James Staple­ton,
'54, Kevin Harrigan, '54, Ro­land
Cavanaugh, '54, and Robert
Petrucelli, '54.
List of Theses
The theses presented covered
the following material:
Proximate Principles
1. Man is endowed with a
spiritual perceptive f a c u 1t y
called the intellect which in this
lif'e is only extrinsically depend­ent
on the brain.
2. The various theories of
Plato, Descartes, S pin 0 z a ,
Liebntz and Kant are to be re­jected
as erroneous doctrines on
the origin of ideas.
3. It is most probable that the
intel1ectual faculty is rendered
proximately disposed for the ap­prehension
of a definite material
object by an intrinsic determin­ant
which is the virtually in­telligible
impression of that ob­ject.
4. The virtual intelligible im­pression
which determines the
intellect for the actual appre­hension
of a definite material
object is itself produced by the
intellectus agens as the principai
efficient cause and the phantasm
as a subordinate efficient cause.
5. The human will in many
of its acts enjoys true freedom of
choice.
Ultimate Principles
1. In man the vital principle
is a substantial, permanent and
specifying principle called the
human soul.
2. The human soul is essen­tially
and integrally simple and
spiritual.
3. The human soul is the sub­stantial
form of the human body.
4. The human soul is de jure
and de facto immortal.
5. It is intrinsically repugnant
for the complete living man to
have evolved from brute animal.
Congratulations
It is only fitting that we con­gratulate
Bob Mazairz and Bill
Clancy for the efficient manner
in which they presented their
arguments and handled objec­tions.
They have set a standard
for the Aquinas Club and for
the Philosophy Department of
Fairfield that will certainly be
a challenge to Fairfield's future
philosophy students.
MATH - PHYSICS
(Continued from Page One)
stressed the importance of plac­ing
the day's worries in proper
perspective, of receiving God's
blessings gratefully, and of leav­ing
to the future the task of
proving to one's self that the
hard days of college training
were not in vain.
WATERBURY CONCERT

sponsored the concert, and in
particular to Gary Carney,
whose ingenuity and resource­fulness
provided for several
newspaper articles and a couple
of radio shows featuring taped
recordings of the Glee Club.
