the Club's most widespread

effort will be this year's Lenten
serial, "The Living God" which
will be heard on five succeeding
I
Sundays ending Easter, and
broadcast on four different sta­tions
throughout Connecticut.
Considering the meager equip­ment
and means at the disposal
of our radio hams, this is indeed
progress.
Currently under production
for the Novena of Grace to St.
Francis Xavier in March, is
"Light Over Nagasaki." This is
II a dramatization of the great
missionary's life written by Fr.
Kelley, S.J. of Holy Cross. The
Radio Club put this script on
last year, but it is being repeated
because of the fitting occasion
of the novena, and the play's
previous popular reception.
The background is Japan's
Nagasaki during the American
occupation. The principals are
two marines and their chaplain,
who is informing them of St.
Francis' great missionary en­deavors
and love for souls. As
he narrates, there are flash-backs
to the days when St. Francis
tread the soil of India, China,
and Japan, to his death on a
desolate Chinese island.
(Continued on Page Five)
A special added attraction,
which should draw a great
crowd, will be a Tea Dance to
be held Sunday afternoon, with
Morris Wattstein and his great
crew providing the music and
fun. Wattstein really gave the
dancers what they wanted at
the Silver Stag, so Hoppy Moun­tan
jumped to it and booked him.
All who plan to go would be
smart to purchase the ticket
when they get their bids since
it will mean a slight saving.
The extra charge for the Tea
Dance will be $1.00 if bought
with the Carnival bid and $1.25
if purchased on that Sunday
afternoon.
Maps are being made up to
help the Carnival goers find
their destination.
Jack Welch has announced tv
the Stag that bids for the Mid­Winter
Carnival will go on sale
January 26th, and he emphasiz­ed
tJhe fact that he expects a
record attendance, so buy bids
early and get a good reservation.
The limit has been set at 250
couples, and a new plan for
securing reservations is being
put into effect. This plan is as
follows: for a table of five
couples, three must buy bids
and the names of the other two
must be given; for a table of
four couples, two must bUy bids
and the other names must be
submitted.
Once again, the ruling will be
no corsages, and all who persist
in bringing them will be requir­ed
to check them at the door.

RADIO CLUB
(Continued from Page One)
The casting for roles is still
taking place under the guidance
of the club's moderator and
production director, Mr. John A.
Meaney. The one definite part
will be played by John Kane,
Fairfield's talented radio tech­nician.
Week after week, the club
produces a major contribution
to the local air waves in the
panel program, Fairfield Uni­versity
Interprets the News. The
fifteen minute forum consists of
an interview of a member of
the faculty or guest on some
controversial' issue pertinent to
our times. Mr. Meaney is mod­erator
and is assisted in the dis­cussions
by members of the
club, or invited students.
Here is a recap of the pro­grams
that have been aired since
September: Approach to Europe,
by Mr. John A. Meaney; the
Problem of Trieste, by Dr. John
Norman; Prisoner Practices, by
Rev. J. L. Bonn, S.J.; Occasions

Next to be heard on the news
program will be the Rev. F. B.
Sarjeant, S.J., a former rector
of Bagdad College.
The facts speak for themselves
- and the facts prove that the
Radio club is progressing out­standingly.
Perhaps we can ex­tend
a word of praise not only
to the work of Mr. Meaney, but
to the club's officers who have
never been hitherto announced.
They are: president, Rudy Lan­dry;
vice-president, John Kane;
secretary, James Langanke, and
corresponding secretary, Arthur

ent authority on the U.N. "In
our country today there is a
master mind who is organizing
anti-UN propaganda, a group
who are inciting the people with
false charges and unreasonable
exhortations to Nationalism.
Where is this force? What is its
objective? Why would anyone
want to degrade an organizatiop
for world peace?" And so he
went on, presenting example
after example of the living
movement which engulfs the
United States from coast to
coast. We certainly sympathize
with the man, and if you have
ever tried to sell UN, so would
you!
We were greatly disappointed
when it was announced that
Eleanor Roosevelt would not be
able to attend our gathering.
After hearing so much about
her at the University, we had
so wished to meet the charming
lady. But on with the story. All
the colleges gave a record of
what they had done for UN on
campus, from sponsoring a
motorcade throughout Michi­gan,
to a model UN at Skidmore.
The University of Cincinnati has
radio broadcasts on the United
Nations, while Miami U. is plan­ning
a big International Day.
This should be a good incentive
for Fairfield students to get on
the practical side; for here we
are at this University, becoming
educated, yet how cognizant
are we of the structure or activi­ties
of this world -organization?
