MR. CARL BISHOP Business Club Hears Speaker ----------~~ Stanley Sitk,a John Redgate Peter Ryiz John Wiess Donald Butzko Francis Doherty J ames McGovern Robert Bel10 Edmund Brennan Robert Carroll Dominick Cerritelli Michael Catalano FRESHMAN COUNCIL CANDIDATES Th'e guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Business Club of Fairfield University was Mr. Carl Bishop, Office Manager of the Raybestos Co. of Stratford and former president of the Office Managers Association. Speaking on the topic, "The Importance of Office Abilities and Skills," Mr. Bishop presented an over-all view of the present difficulties encountered by office managers with his views as to their eventual solution. One of the major problems treated by Mr. Bishop was that of the extensive growth in the number of office workers since 1940 and the corresponding lack of "scientific approach" in handling these increased numbers. This rapid growth, according to Mr. Bishop, is attributable to the increase in the various taxes and fringe benefits, the need for better human relations, and the increasingly competitive market, and can be offset only by "bet- (Continued on Page 6) Nearly every college and university has some out- For the first time since 1952 standing club or activity for which it has become tra- the student body will be taxed ditionally famous.

The major order of business was the election of new officers. Those elected were: President, Dave Roach; Vice President, Gerry Sheehan; Treasurer, John Palmeri; Secretary, Pat Farrell.

In the very n'ear future tickets will be on sale in the cafeteria. The advice of the officers of the club is to purchase tickets early because a capacity crowd is expected. The Bellarmine Debating Society In keeping with its purpose to accustom its members to speak with fluency and ease and acquiring information on current topics, the society sponsored a forum at which Jerry Coiley and Bob Bayne weighed the pro and cons of the Blazer Issue on campus. On October 20 a debate was conducted on the National Debating Topic "That the United States Should Extend Diplomatic Recognition to Communist China," The affirmative team was T. Paul Tremont '55 and Vincent DeRosa '55 and the negative team was Bob Bayne '56 and Tom Connors '56. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Bernard F.

At the first meeting of the year the club formulated plans for its yearly broadcasts. Charles Conner is in the process of writing the Christmas presentation which will offer everyone a valuable opportunity in production and acting. As in the past, Pr,of. John Meaney is moderator of this club. It is his intention to again produce the radio program "Fairfield University Interprets the News." This program offers extensive experi'ence to club members in news commentary. By ANDY PERRELL_~ In session before the largest turnout to attend a meeting in at least three years, the Council made like the Cleveland Indians and folded when it meant most. With a chance to impress the spectators and settle the blazer question once and for all, they blew both opportunities right out the proverbial window. Even worse that botching up the blazer controversy more (if that was possible), the boys are letting more important things continually slip by. An intercollegiate dance, which would do much to improve Fairfield's already tottering relationships with other colleges, is being shabbily handled and probably will not become a reality this year, True, the Freshman elections will take place right on schedule, Granted, some progress has been made concerning the selection of the Mid-Winter Carnival chairman (a notice has been posted on the bulletin board), However, these measures required no great deliberation or discussion on the 'part of the Council, and even considering them in this light, it should be noted that absolutely nothing would have been done about the Carnival had not Bob Joy interjected a motion to that effect during a thirty second lull between blazer arguments, Now that we're back to the blazer fiasco (How could we help it?), it may be possible that the Council is' trying to make the uniform blazer just a little too uniform. Though they represent the student body, they have no right to dictate the style and price of these jackets to the multitude. If the Council doesn't get on the ball pretty soon the student body may change "tax day" to Ax day" . . . Remember the French Revolution boys? The Parking Authority is being dragged out of moth balls to try to alleviate the miserable conditions in the Parking lot. Commissioner T. Paul Tremont has four ,able and muscular assistents to help him "lean on offenders. How many times did you see "On the Waterfront" Paul? . . . Mr. Coiley had the Council in "stitches" with his "needling" questions to the blazer company's representative. The Council is trying to establish the blazer as ,traditional, but if they drag it out any longer, the arguments will be mme traditional than the tradition ... I'm rather glad the Council decided not to paint lines down the middle of the staircases to do away with the up and down traffic problem. Imagine trying to decide if the line should be cardinal red or midnight blue?

The STAG, to us at least, is the voice of the students and therefore we expect to be criticized by them. We do hope that their comments will be constructive and will be submitted to us, not slandered behind 'our backs or ,received in the form of threats or insults. We are always happy to receive letters from the students and will do our utmost to have any letter published in our pages if requested. At times there will appear on these pages criticism of certain school organizations, of student conduct, 'of our athletic teams, and of social gatherings sponsored by our students. This ,criticism ,is always offered as oonstructive and never as a pel'sonal attack on any student or any student organization. The editors of this paper will stand behind any member of their staff on any matter which appears in ,the columns of the STAG, as we consider each reporter to be accurate with the facts and objective in his opinions. At times the opinions of our editors will differ from those of our staff, especially in feature articles, but if any of our writers submit an article written ,in good English and containing some common sense, we will back the writer against any objections. The function of a college newspaper is, by defini-tion, to inform the student body of the various aotivi-' ~~~~~:: --' ties of their college and to offer praise or constructive criticism when it seems necessary. This is the function which the editors and staff of the STAG endeavor to fulfill. October 25,. 1954 'l'. H.

PETE RACKIEWICZ CAMPUS ATHLETES Affable Jack O'Connell, stellar guard of the Fairfield quintet, holds the spotlight as our sports celebrity of the we·ek. Perhaps the most consistent scorer on the team and certainly endowed with the "deadliest eye," Jack has sparkled during his three years as a member of the varsity. A fitting tribute was paid to his ability during a pulsating loss to powerful St. Francis in his sophomore campaign, when he was described by the television announcer as one of the most outstanding players to hit New York that season. Jack stands a mere 5'11" which is compartively small by basketball standards. However, he more than offsets this height deficit with his speed, co-ordination, and alertness. Equally ad'ept at leading and trailing the fast-break, Jack provides the heady type ball-player that is a boon to any team. Scoring most- 1 1Y on graceful one hand flips and jump shots, he forces the de-fense to spread out, thus opening th'e bucket for the driving shots of Lane and Gerwein and the pivot play of Roche. Second only to Bobby Gerwein in scoring, Jack has avergged over 13 points a game during the last two seasons. A great percentage shooter, he has total-ed over 600 points in his varsity career. Sport News and Views By WES GREGORY It seems as though sport fans and sport promoters have gone I record crazy in recent years. In every major field of athletics the publicity men have stepped in and! done as much with their typewriters as the participants have accomplished on the field. With every important baseball game there is the build-up of the potential breaker of Babe Ruth's record or the boy who hit the longest home run on record. With every football game there is either the boy who is better than Red Grange or the player who equalled the team record for scoring. The same goes for Basketball, Boxing and every other sport. With everyone so record conscious, I guess the baseball magnates have decided to set a mark of their own for others to shoot at in years to come. This is the amazing number of managerial changes in the American League since the end of the season. No less than five changes have already been made and one more is possible out of 1he eight teams. Sports writers and fans are compLaining that the league has been unbalanced with three teams; Cleveland, New York, and Chicago holding all the power and the other teams just going along for the ride. So the owners have gone on a hiring and firing spree. At printing time the changes have been: Paul Richards left the White Sox to become head man at Baltimore, Chuck Dressen was named manager of the Senators replacing Bucky Harris who shifted to Detroit. Freddie Hutchinson was dropped by the Ti.gers. Marty Marion was appointed manager of the White Sox and Mike "Pinky" Higgins got the post in Boston after the departure of Lou Boudreau. In Philadelphia the owners are too busy trying to decide where they will play next year 10 appoint a new manager. But rumors have it that Eddie Joost will be out and the leading candidate for his job is Boudreau. With these changes maybe the American League will show a little better balance, at least let's hope so. Because of poor attendance at home games of some Professional Teams in the National Basketball Association the league has decided to play part of its schedule on neutral courts, away from home. Connecticut fans will get a chance to see the pro cagers on six occasions in the New Haven Arena this season, The Philadelphia Warriors, who seem to be in pretty sad shape financially will play in at least five of these contests. The first game will be on October 31 with the Warriors meeting the Baltimore Bullets. The reason for New Haven being the site of so many of these games is that last year in four games there, capacity crowds attended! three and the other was nearly a sell out....

October 25. 1954 Talk on Columbus Dr. Norman chose as his topic the appropriate but very familiar account of the voyages of Columbus. His talk was rendered most intresting, however, by the presentation of the latest historical theory, as formulated by Professor Davies of Exeter, concerning the manner in which Columbus mad'e it possible for Spain to lay claim to and be recognized as the rightful possessor of her newly discovered, lands. Briefly the theory stands as follows: since the Pope was still recognized as the ultimate arbiter in regard to controversial international disputes, it was necessary for Columbus to fulfill the necessary conditions as stated by him, if Spain's claim was to be acknowledged. Thes'e were that the land must both be discovered and "gained" (i.e. settled) by the nation claiming it. Columbus, driven to distrust in his fellow men by continual rejection of his efforts at home, and made desperate by growing I mutiny within his crew, is proposed to have purposely shipwrecked his flag-ship, the Santa I Maria, in order to assure his benefactors of the required "gaining" of the land. Among the evidence offered in support of the theory are the facts that th'e mishap occurred 1-;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;in the very protective harbor of I Navidad, an area inhabited by unusually friendly Indians; his men were exhausted by three days of continuous carousing and in no condition to thwart his plans; after the ship had run I aground, he turn'ed the guns of the Nina on it, supposedly to impress the natives with her I fire-power, but more probably to render the ship completely unfit for sea-duty; he made c'ertain that the setUement would be near the rich Cibao gold fields; and finally, upon his return to Europe, Columbus himself referred to th'e loss of the Santa Maria as "really a piece of good fortune." If this is true, then Columbus would certainly not be an innovator, for many leaders are forced to resort to this trick in order to achieve their goal. But whatever the scientific value of this very logical theory, it certainly provided those present at the banquet with the adventure of a maid'en voyage onto the sea of historical fact. Italian Club Holds Dinner Officers for the current school year were installed and welcomed by retiring president Lawrence O'Shea at the annual Fall banquet of the Italian Club, held Oct, 11 at th'e Golden Nugget Restaurant in Bridgepot. They are John Onofrio, president; Daniel Andrews, vicepresident; and Donald Gabriel, secretary-treasurer. A traditional Italian meal helped to set the proper continental atmosphere for the affair.

MR. CARL BISHOP Business Club Hears Speaker ----------~~ Stanley Sitk,a John Redgate Peter Ryiz John Wiess Donald Butzko Francis Doherty J ames McGovern Robert Bel10 Edmund Brennan Robert Carroll Dominick Cerritelli Michael Catalano FRESHMAN COUNCIL CANDIDATES Th'e guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Business Club of Fairfield University was Mr. Carl Bishop, Office Manager of the Raybestos Co. of Stratford and former president of the Office Managers Association. Speaking on the topic, "The Importance of Office Abilities and Skills," Mr. Bishop presented an over-all view of the present difficulties encountered by office managers with his views as to their eventual solution. One of the major problems treated by Mr. Bishop was that of the extensive growth in the number of office workers since 1940 and the corresponding lack of "scientific approach" in handling these increased numbers. This rapid growth, according to Mr. Bishop, is attributable to the increase in the various taxes and fringe benefits, the need for better human relations, and the increasingly competitive market, and can be offset only by "bet- (Continued on Page 6) Nearly every college and university has some out- For the first time since 1952 standing club or activity for which it has become tra- the student body will be taxed ditionally famous.

This program offers extensive experi'ence to club members in news commentary. By ANDY PERRELL_~ In session before the largest turnout to attend a meeting in at least three years, the Council made like the Cleveland Indians and folded when it meant most. With a chance to impress the spectators and settle the blazer question once and for all, they blew both opportunities right out the proverbial window. Even worse that botching up the blazer controversy more (if that was possible), the boys are letting more important things continually slip by. An intercollegiate dance, which would do much to improve Fairfield's already tottering relationships with other colleges, is being shabbily handled and probably will not become a reality this year, True, the Freshman elections will take place right on schedule, Granted, some progress has been made concerning the selection of the Mid-Winter Carnival chairman (a notice has been posted on the bulletin board), However, these measures required no great deliberation or discussion on the 'part of the Council, and even considering them in this light, it should be noted that absolutely nothing would have been done about the Carnival had not Bob Joy interjected a motion to that effect during a thirty second lull between blazer arguments, Now that we're back to the blazer fiasco (How could we help it?), it may be possible that the Council is' trying to make the uniform blazer just a little too uniform. Though they represent the student body, they have no right to dictate the style and price of these jackets to the multitude. If the Council doesn't get on the ball pretty soon the student body may change "tax day" to Ax day" . . . Remember the French Revolution boys? The Parking Authority is being dragged out of moth balls to try to alleviate the miserable conditions in the Parking lot. Commissioner T. Paul Tremont has four ,able and muscular assistents to help him "lean on offenders. How many times did you see "On the Waterfront" Paul? . . . Mr. Coiley had the Council in "stitches" with his "needling" questions to the blazer company's representative. The Council is trying to establish the blazer as ,traditional, but if they drag it out any longer, the arguments will be mme traditional than the tradition ... I'm rather glad the Council decided not to paint lines down the middle of the staircases to do away with the up and down traffic problem. Imagine trying to decide if the line should be cardinal red or midnight blue?

The STAG, to us at least, is the voice of the students and therefore we expect to be criticized by them. We do hope that their comments will be constructive and will be submitted to us, not slandered behind 'our backs or ,received in the form of threats or insults. We are always happy to receive letters from the students and will do our utmost to have any letter published in our pages if requested. At times there will appear on these pages criticism of certain school organizations, of student conduct, 'of our athletic teams, and of social gatherings sponsored by our students. This ,criticism ,is always offered as oonstructive and never as a pel'sonal attack on any student or any student organization. The editors of this paper will stand behind any member of their staff on any matter which appears in ,the columns of the STAG, as we consider each reporter to be accurate with the facts and objective in his opinions. At times the opinions of our editors will differ from those of our staff, especially in feature articles, but if any of our writers submit an article written ,in good English and containing some common sense, we will back the writer against any objections. The function of a college newspaper is, by defini-tion, to inform the student body of the various aotivi-' ~~~~~:: --' ties of their college and to offer praise or constructive criticism when it seems necessary.

PETE RACKIEWICZ CAMPUS ATHLETES Affable Jack O'Connell, stellar guard of the Fairfield quintet, holds the spotlight as our sports celebrity of the we·ek. Perhaps the most consistent scorer on the team and certainly endowed with the "deadliest eye," Jack has sparkled during his three years as a member of the varsity. A fitting tribute was paid to his ability during a pulsating loss to powerful St. Francis in his sophomore campaign, when he was described by the television announcer as one of the most outstanding players to hit New York that season. Jack stands a mere 5'11" which is compartively small by basketball standards. However, he more than offsets this height deficit with his speed, co-ordination, and alertness. Equally ad'ept at leading and trailing the fast-break, Jack provides the heady type ball-player that is a boon to any team. Scoring most- 1 1Y on graceful one hand flips and jump shots, he forces the de-fense to spread out, thus opening th'e bucket for the driving shots of Lane and Gerwein and the pivot play of Roche. Second only to Bobby Gerwein in scoring, Jack has avergged over 13 points a game during the last two seasons. A great percentage shooter, he has total-ed over 600 points in his varsity career. Sport News and Views By WES GREGORY It seems as though sport fans and sport promoters have gone I record crazy in recent years. In every major field of athletics the publicity men have stepped in and! done as much with their typewriters as the participants have accomplished on the field. With every important baseball game there is the build-up of the potential breaker of Babe Ruth's record or the boy who hit the longest home run on record. With every football game there is either the boy who is better than Red Grange or the player who equalled the team record for scoring. The same goes for Basketball, Boxing and every other sport. With everyone so record conscious, I guess the baseball magnates have decided to set a mark of their own for others to shoot at in years to come. This is the amazing number of managerial changes in the American League since the end of the season. No less than five changes have already been made and one more is possible out of 1he eight teams. Sports writers and fans are compLaining that the league has been unbalanced with three teams; Cleveland, New York, and Chicago holding all the power and the other teams just going along for the ride. So the owners have gone on a hiring and firing spree. At printing time the changes have been: Paul Richards left the White Sox to become head man at Baltimore, Chuck Dressen was named manager of the Senators replacing Bucky Harris who shifted to Detroit. Freddie Hutchinson was dropped by the Ti.gers. Marty Marion was appointed manager of the White Sox and Mike "Pinky" Higgins got the post in Boston after the departure of Lou Boudreau. In Philadelphia the owners are too busy trying to decide where they will play next year 10 appoint a new manager. But rumors have it that Eddie Joost will be out and the leading candidate for his job is Boudreau. With these changes maybe the American League will show a little better balance, at least let's hope so. Because of poor attendance at home games of some Professional Teams in the National Basketball Association the league has decided to play part of its schedule on neutral courts, away from home. Connecticut fans will get a chance to see the pro cagers on six occasions in the New Haven Arena this season, The Philadelphia Warriors, who seem to be in pretty sad shape financially will play in at least five of these contests. The first game will be on October 31 with the Warriors meeting the Baltimore Bullets. The reason for New Haven being the site of so many of these games is that last year in four games there, capacity crowds attended! three and the other was nearly a sell out....

October 25. 1954 Talk on Columbus Dr. Norman chose as his topic the appropriate but very familiar account of the voyages of Columbus. His talk was rendered most intresting, however, by the presentation of the latest historical theory, as formulated by Professor Davies of Exeter, concerning the manner in which Columbus mad'e it possible for Spain to lay claim to and be recognized as the rightful possessor of her newly discovered, lands. Briefly the theory stands as follows: since the Pope was still recognized as the ultimate arbiter in regard to controversial international disputes, it was necessary for Columbus to fulfill the necessary conditions as stated by him, if Spain's claim was to be acknowledged. Thes'e were that the land must both be discovered and "gained" (i.e. settled) by the nation claiming it. Columbus, driven to distrust in his fellow men by continual rejection of his efforts at home, and made desperate by growing I mutiny within his crew, is proposed to have purposely shipwrecked his flag-ship, the Santa I Maria, in order to assure his benefactors of the required "gaining" of the land. Among the evidence offered in support of the theory are the facts that th'e mishap occurred 1-;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;in the very protective harbor of I Navidad, an area inhabited by unusually friendly Indians; his men were exhausted by three days of continuous carousing and in no condition to thwart his plans; after the ship had run I aground, he turn'ed the guns of the Nina on it, supposedly to impress the natives with her I fire-power, but more probably to render the ship completely unfit for sea-duty; he made c'ertain that the setUement would be near the rich Cibao gold fields; and finally, upon his return to Europe, Columbus himself referred to th'e loss of the Santa Maria as "really a piece of good fortune." If this is true, then Columbus would certainly not be an innovator, for many leaders are forced to resort to this trick in order to achieve their goal. But whatever the scientific value of this very logical theory, it certainly provided those present at the banquet with the adventure of a maid'en voyage onto the sea of historical fact.
