Class Of ' 69:
Biggest, Best Yet
The Class of 1969 is the biggest and best prepared
class in the history of the school, according to Fr. Henry
Murphy, S.J ., Dean of Admission. Of the approximately
4.50 Freshmen, a record 270 will be housed on campus.
The majority of the remainder are commuters, with only
about 40 off campus boarders.
Students come from areas as far away as California
md Egypt, and represent about 20 states, Puerto Rico and
Jamaica, West Indies. Over 220 different high schools are
:epresented, 90 Catholic, 120 public and private.
Although exact figures are not yet avail­Many
Thanks To All able, more students are on scholarships than
ever before.
The Class will be given its fir st chance to
work as a unit tomorrow, when they take on the
Sophomores at the Field Day. This event has
proven the undoing of many a Freshman class,
as traditionally the Sophomores have not hesi­tated
to use their year of experienc in less than For Successful Week
To The Editor:
In the first issue of the STAG
I would like to express my sin­cere
thanks to all those who in
one way or another, made possi­ble
the succesful Orentation
Week that we h ave had.
I would like to mention espe­cially
Fr. Donald Lynch, S.J.
wihtout whose help t his week
would never have been possible.
Fr. Lynch, Moderator of Orien­t
at ion Week, willingly sacrificed
his free time, sometimes until the
wee hours, to assist us in all
phases of the week. I can't say
enough on his behalf.
I would a lso like to thank my
assistant chairman, Tom Fraher,
and the chairmen of all the vari­ous
committees. Gerry Smyth,
who handled Sunday arrivals,
and Mike Cortegiano, ll?rovisions
Chairman, deserve special recog­nition
for the fine· jobs they did.
To Fia ther Gallarelli, Mr. Bian­chi,
and the secretaries of the
Loyola office I would like to ex­t
end my sincer e appreciation.
Their assistance prevented many
a headache at crucial instances
throughout the week.
To the members of the J nior
class I would like to say that you
all should have a feeling of pride
in the support you've given one

is alive with controversy, a uni­versity
which has as much to
offer you as you care to take
from it, and a university which
takes pride in its growing repu­tation
and achievements.
There will be times when you
wished your choice had been
anywhere but Fairfield. There
will be frustrations. But there
will be many times and many
events which you will never for­get.
At the outset we urge you to
assert your individualism as a
class and your identification as a
part of the University. At all
times be an active member of
the community, yet find time for
personal contemplation.
If you feel the necessity to be
speak out - do so by all means.
We strongly urge letters to the
editor as a means of expressing
your satisfaction - .or your dis­satisfaction
with your Universi­ty.
Again, we welcome you; we
urge you to become an active
member of the University and
offer y.ou sincere best wishes as
you begin the most important
years of your life.

Before coming to the Uni­versity,
Norman served with

His book is the first full­length,

international and external con­flicts.
He discusses the influence
of I slam, nationalism, Baathism,

its development.
Dr Norman gives due con­sideration
to the impact of the

The influence of Tunisian Al­gerian,

Fairfield's Wealth Of Opportunity
Office Development,
Training, Insight
As newly welcomed entrants to Fair­field's
academic community, you, the mem­bers
of the class of 1969, are openly invited
to partake of the many opportunities for
activity offered by the University.
Our particular design of course, 1s to
draw you into the ranks of
the STAG ..
The production and com­position
of a newspaper is
a unique undertakin11:.
The process of evolution
which takes place from the
time the writer first sets his
ihoughts down on paper until
the newstand offers the paper
to the public, is one which
few men understand and no
man has yet mastered.
The panoramic span of op­portunities
for expression
through writing, design and
layout, composition, editing,
and the business facets of
newspaper work offer areas
of interest to the intellectu­al
and mechanically inclined
alike.
tractions offered by few, if
any, of the University's
other organizations. The­opportunities
are readily
avaiable for your consid­eration.
We strongly urge
to avail yourselves of t he
University's resources.
All realms of stu­dent
life are com­pletely
absorbed in
production of " the
well rounded man."
Your par ticipation in
extra-curricular activ­ities
will determine
to what extent your
classroom knowledge
can be practically ap­plied.
T h e college newspaper
represents the most likely
place for the budding journal­ist
to involve himself in the
envied position of influencing
his fellow men. Unlike its
commercialized counterparts,
the college publication can
afford to be a medium of
exchange for a homogeneous
group without becoming in­volved
in t h e pressures
brought about by advertising
and circulation problems.

The availability of your col­lege
newspaper as a train­ing
ground in the technique
of journalism is not, however,
the only advantage to con­sidering
working for the
STAG. As members of the
Fairfield community each and
every one of you should give
careful consideration as to
how you can make an indi­vidual
contribution to the
growth and betterment of
the University Youx: l)Uccess
at Fairfield will depend al­most
entirely upon the degree
to which you take advantage
of what it has to offer you.

The
Grab Bag
By TONY LaBRUZZA
Point of Departure
A grab bag is some sort of receptacle from which
you draw without any idea of what you might be gett­ing.
Very often you will find worthless trinkets and
~ri fles; but sometimes, if you are lucky and if some­:
me has taken the care to put at least one thing of
•''orth into the receptacle, you may come away with a
valuable addition to your possessions. It costs practi­~
ally nothing to reach into this grab bag - just t he
ability to read and the willingness to think. Do not
expect too much: if you come across something worth­less,
discard it immediately; and be content if beneath
all the tinsel you occasionally find some gold.
Welcome, Class of '69
How do you address an incoming Freshman ?
How do you penetrate his thoughts, his emotions, his
private aspirations, and his hidden r eservations in
-.Jrder to say something worthwhil e without sounding
:rite or patronizing or lapsing into cliches which by
.lOW turn his stomach? How do you convey ideas
which cannot be understood until they have been ex­)
erienced and which will not be experienced until
long after they have been expressed ?
Perhaps one method of approach is that of the
parable and perhaps the parable most meaningful
to the twentieth century college F'reshman was inven1r
ed by Plato some twenty-five hundred years ago. I
speak now of the allegory of the cave.
Imagine, Plato suggested, that you are in a huge
cave and are bound firmly by chains so that you can
look at only one wall of the cave. Behind you, with­out
your knowing it, people are carrying objects in
front of a fire and shadows are being cast on the wall
toward which your gaze is permanently fixed . You
look at these shadows and, of course, accept them as
the only reality until one day you somehow break
your bonds, turn around, and realize what has hap­pened.
When that realization comes, you look for an
exit from the cave, and finding one, you do not hesi­tate
to use it. And upon arriving in t he open air you
are so dazzled by the daylight that you can at first
see only the images and reflections of things; but
gradually the things themselves come into view. Next,
you cast your gaze toward the stars and the moon and
finally toward the source and sustainer of this marvel­ous
world, the sun. Amazed by what you have seen,
you rush back into the cave to relate your experiences
to the others who are still chained looking fixe dly at
the shadows on the wall. But t he darkness of the cave
blinds you and the fantastic words you speak cause
you to be scoffed at, mocked, and j eered.
Is the analogy clear? I am suggesting that you,
the members ,of the Class of '69 are living in a cave
in which you are bound firmly, facing a wall, by the
bonds of custom, habit, and narrowness of thought
to which y,ou have grown accustomed for the past six­teen,
seventeen, or eighteen year.s. I am further sug­gesting
that Fairfield University has as its function to
make y;ou realize your state of affairs and to provide
a passage-way from the cave in which you find your­self
to the real world outside.
I appologize if all this sounds too imaginative,
too irrelevant, or too obseure; above all, I sincerely
hope that it does not sound frightening. Keep in mind
that if you did not have the ability you would not be
here. But also recall that the very way out of the cave
is not always easy You will almost inevitably run into
problems - social, spiritual, or a cademic - that you
can't quite solve by yourself . When and if you do, at
least have the courage to seek the advice of someone
who knows what he is talking about .
I sense that if I go any f urther I will start preach­ing,
and you will be getting enough of that during
the next four years. Let me conclude, then by wishing
all of you a successful and happy Freshman year.
