              Vol. IX - No. 10 Published by Studentli of Fairfield University, Fairfield, Conn. Octo'ber 1L 1957
A letter of commendation has
been received by the Fairfield
University sociology depart­ment
from Governor Abraham
Ribicoff for its report on "Con­necticut
Correctional Institu­tions
and Practices" released
earlier this year.
Areas of research by the
Fairfield University students
included riots, demonstrations
and investigations in the na­tion's
penal institutions; a re­port
on religious and moral
guidance and rehabilitation;
and a report was made on re­view
of sentences and adleness
and rehabilitation, which in­cluded
a comparison of Federal
and State prisons.
In expressing the apreciation
of the State and himself for the
efforts and interest of the
Fairfield University students
in compiling the report, Gover­nor
Ribicoff said.
"In reading over the de­tailed
findings of the Fair­field
unit, I am impressed by
the scope of your project
and the tremendous amount
of painstaking research it en­tailed.
Your nationwide sum­mary
of riots and demonstra­tions
and the demedial mea­sures
taken is a font of in­formation
that can be uti­lized
for many purposes.
'Religious and moral guid­ance
and rehabilitation are
vital parts of any sound cor­rectional
program. If the
people who leave our cor­rectional
institutions are to
become law-abiding, Gk>d­fearing
citizens, they must
r ec ei vie proper spmitual
training and encouragement.
The conclusions on this
phase of your work constitute
a guide that should be bene­ficial
to the State of Con­necticut.
"The problems pertaining
to reviewing of sentences and
institutional idleness are re­ceiving
increased attention,
and hopes are high for
steady gains in these areas."
The student fact-finding com­mittee
was led by Eugene
Michael of Danbury, Donald
Hornbecker of Waterbury, Don­ald
McGee of Hartford, and
Sa'ntine Capria of New York
City.
Much of the data was gather­ed
during vacation periods
when the committee members
had the opportunity to visit the
state institutions and observe

Research Group
The Business Club of Fairfield
University, under its moderator,
Mr. Barbano, began its activi­ties
for the 57 - 58 season with
a display on September 18 for
the incoming freshman class.
The informative brochures
which were on hand at the dis­play
covered such fields as Ad­vertising,
Accounting, Econom­ics,
Industrial Management,
Sales, and many other interest­ing
fields. The display, arrang­ed
by Bill McQuillan and Pete
Negri, attracted over 75% of
th freshman business majors.
The enthusiasm which the
freshmen manifested at this dis­play
was exceptional, and it is
this enthusiasm which is ex­pected
to launch the Business
Club to its most successful year.
A tentative agenda which was
set up, included on campus
speakers, dinners, plant tours,
and a machine show. For those
freshmen and other students
who are not familiar with the
club, the purpose of the club is
:is follows: "To acquaint the
members with the practical ap­plication
of progressive business
methods which cannot be ac­complished
completely in the
classroom. The aforesaid know­ledge
to be acquired by business
conferences and luncheons at
which time practicing business­men
will contribute their know­ledge
and experience through
talks."
The officers for the 57 - 58 sea­son
include Bill McQuillan,
president; Pat Kennedy, vice­president;
Pete Negri, corre­sponding
secretary; Jack Haw­kins,
recording secretary; Pat
Waide, treasurer, and Frank
Domino, publicity director.
NOTICE TO ALL FRESHMEN

Kaulbach Presides At
C.I.S.L. Meeting;
Ryan Appointed
The first meeting of the Fair­field
delegation to the C.I.S.L.
was held recently at Canisi­us.
The meeting was presided
over by Robert Kaulbach, sen­ior
delegate from Fairfield and
State Treasurer of the organ­ization.
He was assisted by
Steven Ryan, '60, recently ap­pointed
junior delegate.
Last year the Fairfield dele­gation
enjoyed great success at
the annual student legislature
held in the State Capitol Build­ing
in Hartford. James Rourke,
'57, was elected Speaker of the
House of Representatives. This
was due to the ardent cam­paigning
of the Fairfield dele­gation.
One Fairfield bill, designed
to repeal the Fair Trade Laws
of Connecticut, was passed by
both the House of Representa­tives
and the Senate, due to the
united efforts of James Master­son,
'58, and John Croake, '59.
The other Fairfield bill, drawn
up to provide for a state scho­larship
fund for the students of
private schools, was proposed
by Desi Sullivan, '59, and Phil
Calcina, '58. After' a heated de­bate,
the bill was defeated on a
technicality.

LitHe Bunnies Frustrated
However, these two didn't
have to do all the work, for on
each level of the bunny house
there was a stern and severe
rabbit. They would make the
little bunnies go to bed in the
early evening and rise in the
middle of the night. On rising,
the little bunnies would have
to take a coid, cold walk to the
carrot patch. Then, when all the
little bunnies had eaten just
enough to make them want
more, big black rabbits would
swoop down from the hill and
torture the little bunnies. Each
rabbit would give the bunnies
so much work that they could
only come frustratingly close to
finishing it.
Carrots for the Bunnies
Then the little bunnies were
allowed to eat again, but there
were always so many bunnies
at the carrot patch that they
never had enough time to eat.

We, at Fairfield, take pride in our sprawling campus
which spreads over some 200 acres of spacious, rolling
Connecticut countryside. That is, some of us are proud
of it. Its carpet of greenery is dotted with a picturesque
pond, stately trees and shiny new buildings to add to
the attractiveness of the scene.
It is a lush piciure of natural beauty, carefully at­tended
by the hand of man. The well-manicured lawns
are the result of years of cultivation. Their beauty was
maintained for a purpose - presumably, to add to the
attractiveness of the University, and also to present
pleasant, peaceful surroundings for. the student at
Fairfield.
Certainly, no college or university located in the
depths of a city can offer the peacefulness which en­shrouds
our campus. Its paths through the wooden
areas and massive lawns are conducive to periods of
meditation. It offers a perfect setting for self-reflection
at the day's end.
But, as usual, there are those who are not apprecia­tive
of this beauty. It wouldn't be so bad if they were
only unapp~eciative, but they have proceeded to mar
this beauty for others. It is a depreSsing sight to walk
along the pavement and see footprints stamped into,
newly seeded areas. Is this ignorance, or just plain
maliciousness? We doubt if students will get to class
any faster by plunging through the soft earth, than if
they use the concrete sidewalks. A suggestion: Leave
for classes earlier.
In some areas, especially leading over from Loyol:
Hall to Xavier, there is one solid beaten path of sand
In this instance, not only the students are to blame. I1
would only take a few extra seconds to skirt the area
and walk on the pavement, thus preserving the lawn.
A solution would be to build a fence, but wouldn':
that look childish? Playpens are for children and we
are supposed to be mature men. No doubt, those sam(
persons wouldn't walk on their lawns at home. Well.
why do it here?
If fences can't be erected then the problem rest~
with the students themselves. In the event a studen:
totally ignores the rules as to where he is to walk, ,
more responsible student should apprehend him, anc
direct him to the proper place. It seems like childisl

Fairfield.
Now that the academic and extra-curricular phases
of campus life have slipped into high gear, some sem­blance
of order and finality is emerging from the con­fusion
of classes and organizational meetings of the
various clubs. As evidenced by the releases within this
issue, officers have been chosen to guide the destinies
of these organizations, and programs have been outlin­ed
for the academic year. All in all, the outlook is for
a most active and prosperous year.
Yet one duty has been neglected by most of these
crganizations. Namely, that of appointing a publicity
man to work in close conjunction with the Public Rala
tions Office. After all, it is only through this channel
that the general public ca.n gain some knowledge of the
inner workings of Fairfield. Matters such as soci"
functions, fund-raising enterprises, field trips and sur­veys
are of prime interest to the P.R.O. Club president'
should give this serious consideration.

Voice of
Industry
By TOM O'CONNOR
In order to get a picture of
modern "business" outlook and
trends, your reporter went to
PEPPERIDGE FARMS of Nor­walk,
where he met and inter­viewed
Mr. James K. Morgan,
general manager of Pepper­idge's
eastern division.
In a discussion about the gen­eral
qualifications of a good in­dustrial
executive, Mr. Morgan
voiced some very enlightening
ideas. The first opinion brought
forth by Mr. Morgan was the
fact that he felt that a liberal
arts education, including Eng­lish,
hostories, and philosophy,
was the best possible education
for anyone interested in a posi­tion
in industry. The fact that
this type of training develops
the ability of an individual to
think rather than to do a spe­c'fic
job was very important to
him (Mr. Morgan is a Yale
graduate with a major in Euro­pean
h:story).
Expanding along this line Mr.
Morgan pointed out that one of
the major problems in industry
is the breaking down of the
"gulf" that exists between the
college graduate and the ordi­nary
factory worker or super­visor.
This feeling is more in­tense
on the part of the work­er
but in order for a young ex­ecutive
to get across his wishes
and get his work done well, it
is necessary for him to devel­op
a real understanding of each
and every worker. His ability
and his shortcomings, and most
of all his worth as an individual
Pursuing the point further, I
asked Mr. Morgan if he felt that
labor unions are forcing indus­try
to recognize the individual's
worth. His answer was that he
felt that their presence awak­ened
the spirit and perhaps in­tensified
it, but that young in­dustrial
leaders possessed a new
humanitarian outlook for two
reasons. First, the new college
graduate is for the most part a
fellow who has worked himself
in order to obtain his own edu­cation.
And secondly, and mos'.
important, a satisfied worker
will produce more.
Mr. Morgan pointed out that
he felt Pepperidge Farms is 8
leader in this type of progres­sive
treatment of its help, and
I agree. They regard labor as
individuals rather than as 0
commodity.
Not being a union plant
thought, perhaps, Pepperidge's
opinion on unions might prove
interesting. I asked Mr. Morgan
if he felt unions' constant de­mands
were the cause of spiral­ing
costs? He said he felt that
a firm should improve produc­tion
so they would be able to
meet labor's soaring costs. He
also pointed out that Pepper­idge
Farms produced a loaf of
bread prior to World War II fOJ
25c, and now produces the same
product for 28c, only a 3c in­crease,
despite wage increases
to their help.
When asked what he thought
were prime attributes of a good
executive, Mr. Morgan listed
several. A man must be able to
judge people, and be able to
get people to do what he wants.
He must exercise good judg­ment
and keep calm under pres­sure.
He must be sincere in re­gards
to his work, on this point

By JOSEPH P. CHESTER
Little Rock, Arkansas, largest and capital city of that
Southern state, is at present the scene of an historic legal battle
in which the powers of the Federal Government are being pitted
against those of the state. The issue behind the Federal Court
proceedings in Little Rock stems from the actions taken by
Orval E. Faubus, Governor of Arkansas, in his attempts to pre­vent,
for alleged reasons, the integration of nine Negro students
at Little Rock's Central High School earlier in September. The
Governor procured an injunction against integration at that
time and called upon the National Guard'of that state to enforce
it. A federal injunction ordered the overruling of that state
in~unction and demanded that Faubus withdraw the guardsmen.
Thus, the question the court is attempting to decide is this:
Can a federal judge, appointed to that position, tell the Gov­ernor
of a sovereign stat,e elected to that office, what that Gov­ernor
can or cannot do as far as the carrying out of his official
duties under the state law is concerned? More specifically ­does
the Federal Government have some new and up till now
unbestowed power enabling it to pass judgment upon the motives
and actions of a state Governor when the latter attempts, while
remaining within the range of his State's Constitution, to do
what he sees best fit for the people of his State?
Where in the Constitution of the U.S. are the Federal Courts
given even an implicit right to control or regulate the schools
of the nation and to dictate such matters as admittance inte
schools? Is that the reason the President of the U.S. had in mind
recently when he strongly advocated the allocation of federal
funds to schools - so that such a move will give the Federa'
Government a grant of power enabling it to exercise control
over education?
Is it not contradictory that, although nowhere does the
Federal Constitution permit the Federal Government to repri­mand
those who publicly advocate that parents refuse to send
their children to mixed schools, federal injunnctions' are now
seeking to do so and deprive those people of their right to free
speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment?
Are federal injunctions to become ultimate edicts that must
be recognized and obeyed under the threat of reprisal by federa1
officials? Is a ,federal dictatorship in the U.S. looming over the
horizon? Are State Governors and lawmakers eventually tc
become mere political "yes" men to the dictates of the Federa
Government?
The motto of the State of Arkansas is Regnat Populus - "thr
people rule", And to the people alone, those of Arkansas, thOSE"
of the nation, is the power of decision in such matters to be
~:ven. The Federal Government cannot usurp that power. ThE:
Constitution upon which that very same government rests for,
bids it.

Coached at Harding
Thirty years ago, Mr. Tamas­hunas
began his career in track.
From 1928-1932, Mr. Tamashun­as
helped Harding High to two
state championships. In 1932, he
helped himself to the state title
in the high jump.
After college, an accomplish­ment
during that ancient bogey
called the Depression, Mr. Ta­mashunas
coached for three
years at the Bridgeport Trade
School, and later at the Boys'
Club.
It was in 1939 that Harding
High appointed him head coach
of track. There he brought home
his first state trophy in 1942.
Then in 1944, and again in
1947, 1948, 1950 and 1953 the
teams of Tamashunas ran away

by LARRY LESSING
The 27 candidates for the' freshman and varsity football
teams in a recent meeting with head coach Jim Hanrahan have
been instructed to get out on the track and run a few laps each
day as a pre·practice conditioning assignment. It won't be long
now before the team begins its long basketball season, With the
return of Eddie Diskowski and the loss of only one of last year's
excellent Frosh squad. optimism is permeating the Fairfield

trap-line in order to make a little extra cash during the school

you have nothing to do? Why not run along with Bob McCarthy
John Fleming, Frank Connors and the rest of the cross country
team? On a typical fall afternoon you will start at a pleasan!
jog and trot along the track's straightaway and then across t~e
field to the road that runs along the north boundary. At thIS
p01nt you will turn west until you hit Round Hill Road, run
along here for about a mile and re·enter the campus at the
main gate. What, you're tired? You haven't ~ve~ started yet
Next, you must run up the hill. around the traffIc circle and m~(
the woods near Berchmans, which are really beautiful at thl~
time oI the year. After completing this section, you only h.avr
another two or three miles to go. Once more you have to cllmb

outsid'e the school and then turn up North Benson Rd. and dowr.
the long hill (Osborne Hill) that leads to Bridgeport, up another
hill (Owl Road) and then you make two right turns and re-enter
the campus for the second time, down by the basketball courts

also deserves the support of the student body which only has
