If you live in the dorm.
perhaps you saw a light burning
almost every night this
past winter in that office on
the inside corner of Gonzaga.
Most everybody knows that
that's where the Manor hangs
out during its development.
This. year,.. somebody.. else
hung out there too.
Some wondered why he
slept here so often instead of
beating it home. Some questioned
his eating here so
often, though in the midst
of his work, But just because
he did have a comfortable
bed at home, because he
had fine Italian cooking waiting
for him, and especially
because he laughed off any
mention' of his work, as just
his enjoyable duty, we wish
to thank him for his selfless
effort.
The fellow spent afternoons,
evenings, and weekends
there, fairly creating the
year-book on his own. There
was assistance, advice, and
occasional ideas from the
staff. But too often the fellow
had to write articles forgotten
by someone else, layout
pages alone, in fact, construct
the book as if it were
a personal effort,

of these birds (Oops), rather,
scarce commodities. Steve Kelly
is one whom we know of. Another
has come to our attention.
He is Don St. John, a sophomore
active in the N.F.C.C.S.
and an Air Force veteran. Recently,
Don took his fourth degree

The Juniors Had One
Huge Everlasting Ball
Billy Butterfield's noted mu'
I sic swelled throughout the hall
as a comfortable crowd of University
students danced and ap'
plauded, chattered and joked at
. Fairfield's Dogwood Festival in
the Longshore Country Club,
Westport.
Students and guests alternately
danced and talked. They
met and introduced their faculty,
who observed with humor
and joined in the activity.
Waiters, committee members,
managers and chairmen served
and held conference during the
evening. Meanwhile, the group
took the opportunity and en-joyed
the much talked of music.
The affair was climaxed at
mid-evening by the announcement
of the winning of the
queen contest. After telling the
Senior election results and introducing
the finalists in the
contest, Phil Guerin told the
gathered crowd that Darrolyn
Powers of Newton College had
been chosen. While the principals
posed and spoke pleasantries,
flashguns exploded and
subjects cheered. George McGauley,
chairman of the dance,
crowned the queen who was escorted
by Peter York. Jack
Toal, general chairman, presented
her with a wristwatch
and a bouquet. Presently the
crowd separated and the dancing
continued.
After a suitable period the
guests departed with favors ob-

THE BUSINESS PARADOX
By PAT WAIDE
Last month witnessed a continual business decline although
there were signs that the rate of fall was moderating. The industrial
production index dropped further; most weekly production
figures, including those for steel, automobiles, paperboard
petroleum, and coal also experienced more than seasonal declines.
Employment in agriculture and construction was greater
due to the seasonal revival in outdoor work, but this news was
tempered by a decline in unemployment of one-sixth the usual
seasonal amount. Business sentiment remained' cautious, with
emphasis on inventory reduction and no general move toward
forward buying.
It would seem only natural that with business c()nditions at
a more or less stagnant level, the consumers would be enjoying
opportunities to purchase at greatly reduced selling prices. Yet
this is not the occurrence. Despite the presence of a recession
the consumer price index has been on a continual advancement.
Th U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the consumer price
index in March at 123.3 (1947-49 = 100), which is a 3.7 percent
increase over the preceding year. This figure is expected to be
surpassed by the index number for April, thus making that
month the twenty-third of the last twenty-six months in which
the index has risen.
How can the "cost of living" advance to record levels when
the economy is in a slump and unemployment is at a post-war
high? For the several million people trying to make ends meet
on unemployment checks this question has a particular urgency.
There appear to be two main reasons why the over-all consumer
price index has failed to reflect the recession.
First, consumer prices tend to lag behind business conditions.
This is mostly due to the cost of services such as transit
fares, medical, and dental care, repairs, haircuts, and gas and
electric bills. Professional people do not adjust their fees with
every jiggle in business indicators. So also utility rate boosts
reflect the cost increases incurred in the preceding months. Lately
this service category has been catching up with its increased
costs and thus their higher fees and charges.
The second, and most important reason why the consumer
price index has moved to new highs is the upward trend in food
prices. This recent rise was caused by the winter freezes and
excessive rains which greatly reduced fruit and vegetable output.
The increased meat costs are the result of the 1956 drought
and the depressed cattle prices which discouraged beef production.
Although the nation's cattle and calf inventory dropped,
the demand remained unaffected and thus the meat prices moved
up sharply.
Since the food category comprises about 30 per cent of the
total consumer price index, it is important to know what will be
the level of food costs in the immediate future. At close observation
the outlook is favorable. By late spring new supplies of
fresh vegetables will reach the market and some prices will fall.
'However the drop will be more noticeable when plentiful summer
supplis of fresh vegetables and fruits will be ready for sale.
The heavy buildup in the number of cattle now being fattened
also foretells lower beef prices for the fall.
In short, increased supplies of fruits, vegetables and meats
in the months ahead are likely to result in lower food prices good
news for the heads of the household, especially those who
are experiencing the pressures of the recession.

Joe Flannigan, J. C.' ent, and man.
Kelly, Jim Scanlon and Jack 1---' ------ Wood, spell trouble for any
pitcher with the power of their SUPPORT
bats.
Other teams to watch in the THE
elimination tournament are Buz
Garrity's "Cube Crackers", and MISSIONS
Joe Charlow's "MARTINI'S." I
partner in splitting first place
in the mile run. Dave Drongoski
lived up to pre-season expectations
by heading both the
quarter, mile and 220 yd. run.
In the field events, Capt. Jack
Murphy, Ziggy Zysk, Tony
Champ and Fred Schwitz were
the standouts. Jack took first
in the broad jump, second in the
high jump and second in the
high hurdles. Ziggy showed true
form by winning the shot put
and placing second in the discus
throw. Tony took first in
the high jump and third in both
the low and high hurdles while
Fred Schwitz won a second in
the pole vault, third in the javelin
and was a member of the
winning relay team.
Other members of the team
who hit the scoring column
were Jack Quinn, who in his
first track meet placed second
in the two mile and third in
the mile. Tom Farrell ran the
first leg of the relay for his
points and :roe McNamara won
a third in the 100 yard dash
for his point.
A total of seventy-six points
were scored by the Stags against
fifty-six for the New Haven
team. All in all the team showed
both depth and ability which
was the pre-season prediction.
Stags In Cellar
With 0-4 Record
After starting off the season
with a close 11-10 win over
Hartford University, the baseball
team set off on a bad five
game losing streak. In the newly
formed Collegiate Baseball
League the Stags are in the
cellar with a sad 0-4 record.
O,n, April 18 th~. Sta~s lost
ih;.th:' 'first: lc-:ag-u@ glaJfle1to Farleigh-
Vickinson, 6"=2~ A series of
errors by the Stags enabled
F.-D. to grab an early lead
which they never lost. Ed Skinski
suffered his first defeat of
the campaign.
Playing their first home game
of the year against powerful
Seton Hall, the Stags suffered
their most humiliating defeat
by losing, 20-3. The only shining
light of the whole game was
the brilliant hitting of Jack
Redway, who has been the only
consistent hitter on the whole
squad throughout the season.,
Facing New Britain, again
errors played a deciding factor
in the game with the team committing
8 of them; subsequently
losing, 11-6. On April 26, the
team traveled to St. Peter's at
Roosevelt Stadium and lost,
17-3. Thus Fairfield became sole
tenant of last place in the C.B.L.
Again Redway led the team in
hitting and in the last three
games alone he had garnered
8 hits.
New Haven handed the Stags
their fifth defeat in a row by a
6-5 count. Ed Skinski started
for Fairfield and had a bad second
inning when New Haven
got all of its runs. After that
Skinski pitched a good game but
the damage had been done, and
he suffered the loss. Skinski and
Fayette got 5' of the team's 8
hits.
The Stags snapped their losing
streak at the expense of
L.I.U" leader of the Knickerbocker
Conference at Ebbets
Field, by a 6-4 victory. Dave
Toomey went all the way for
Fairfield and got credit for his
second win of the year. Again
Redway smacked the ball by
getting a triple and a home run
while driving in4 runs, while
Bart Panessa picked up a triple

Tel. FO 8-9471
By LARRY LESSING
Jack Redway's big bat has been the only bright spot in one
of the blackest baseball seasons in Fairfield's short history. After
a slow start, Jack has hit safely 10 times in his last 27 at bats,
a .370 clip, to pull his batting average to a .294 mark for the
season. Jack's big contribution to the Stags was his home-run
and triple which led the team to a tremendous upset victory over
Knickerbocker Conference leader, Long Island University, to stop
the latter's eight game winning streak. This game, which was
played at famed Ebbets Field, saw the Norwalk slugger hit a
fast ball high and far over the right field wall and into Bedford
Avenue to drive in 3 runs which put the Stags ahead and gave
them a lead which they did not relinquish.
Plen1y of red ink mus1 be used on 1he 01her side of lhe
ledger, 10 explain why lhe learn has 10s1 7 oul of lhe firs1 9
games lhal lhey have played lhus far. The primary reason
for lhese sorry slatistics is lhe learn's lacakadaisical al1itude
10ward lhe game ilself. This is evidenced by a bench lhal
lhal would be 100 quiel if il were placed in a morgue. Ii is a
bench lhal can do only one lhing well and lhal is 10 spend

every benchwarmer considers himself a wonder boy who,
wilh his greal playing, could cure everylhing lhal ails lhe

field can help 10 reslore lhe club's shal1ered morale. If a
person wants '10 slop picking up splinlers, he can do il in
only one way, husUe and good ball playing, bolh al praclice
and in lhe games.
If the reader believes that we have been too hard on the
team, we request him to read just a little further and examine
the evidence. Only three things have been wrong with the team
thus far: poor pitching, poor fielding and poor hitting. The pItching
sta,.ff. hgii give up 58 ea.rned runs in the first 9 games. This
gives' the ~ pitchin£; staff all ,,;r;;<in~:;,} g::44, 1f1If(~U fUll dvel:< ge. '
But, the pitchers cannot be blamed entirely for the Stag collapse,
as the sieve-like defense has managed to kick in 44 unearned
runs. The Fairfield fielders have booted or thrown away
the ball 41 times in this nine game interval, which is close to 5
errors a game! Thus the pitchers and fielders have allowed the
opposition 102 runs in nine games. That's only 11 runs plus, a
game.
Baseball, however, includes an offense; but Fairfield's is almost
completely impotent. With three games left on the schedule
the Stags have only scored 44 runs, including 11 in theil;'
opening game. The team has come to bat 294 times, but they
have only managed to pick up 60 hits. This is a team batting
average of .201!! Of these hits only 8 have been good for extra
bases which gives the team a pathetic .254 slugging average. The
clutch hit just doesn't seem to be available as the team has managed
to leave 85 men on base. But even if all these men had
scored, the team would have managed only 27 more runs than
their opponents HAVE scored
Of course, any losing baseball squad has the coach to blame.
In our case, this decision would be completely irrational because
no one can possibly field or hit for his players, and when a coach
~as a benchful of lazy prima-donnas plus sloppy starters, he is
m a completely untenable situation. It is a situation that can be
corrected only by the ballplayers themselves. .
HARRIERS, SHOW THEIR
METTLE AGAINST NHSTC
Having suffered defeat at the hands of New Britain and then
~aving placed second in a triangular meet with Fairleigh - Dickmson
and Upsala, the Fairfield Harriers finally showed their true
potential against a strong New Haven State Teachers team.

in the running events were
Phil Gallagher, Dave Drongoski
and Bob McCarthy. Phil, who
has been the work horse of the
team all year, came through
by winning the half mile, the
100 yd. dash and tieing for
first place in the mile run. Aside
from that, he placed second in
