The spirit of a College and the morale of its student body
is often determined by the participation in extra-curricula activities.
By this norm Fairfield University is second to none. For a
very important and vital part of campus life at Fairfield has
been its Intramural Program. For each of the past three years
more than half of the student body has participated in one or
more of the six different sports programs and the annual fourteen

THE SUNDAY CODE FOR
PRACTICING CATHOLICS
By PAT WAIDE
The society in which we live is witness to the expanding
influence of a materialistic philosophy. As a result there has
been established an excessive worship or awe for Cadillacs, mink
coats, Paris originals, etc. This overemphasis has so progressed I'
that the observance of Sunday as a day for worship, rest, and
increase of our knowledge of Christian Truths. has become a thing'
of the past. It has been subplanted by an effort to commercialize
the Sabbath. Food and clothing stores have opened their doors
for business on Sunday in many localities, and there is a persisting
clamor for permission to do likewise in those areas where
state or local law now prevent any Sunday selling.
It was indeed with utmost necessity that a group of Catholic
laymen and women in the business world joined together to
combat the forces that were underway to secularize and commercialize
the Sabbath. They drew up a code that was designed
to restore right order to the Catholic observance of Sunday.
Their code, which was proposed at the Sodality Congress of the
Lay Apostolate in New York City. last month, is as follows:
TO KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH DAY
I will be on time for Sunday Mass.
I will devoutly participate in offering the Holy Sacrifice by
using the Missal.
I will adopt as my general practice the reception of the Holy
Eucharist each Sunday.
I will joint in the prayers for peace and the conversion of
Russia at the end of the Mass.
I will attempt to foster deeper family unity through Sunday
family worship.
I will support the Church in every way in which my talen.ts
of my resources can advance the cause of Our Lo'rd.
I will seek that rest and relaxation that befits the Sabbath
and strengthens family; ties, rememberin.g that my conduct
gives 'good or bad example.
I will take advantage of the, leisure provided on this day to
broaden my knowledge of Christian principles and teachmgs
as found in many Catholic publications.
I will not perform any unnecessary selrvile work. d ' D
