Vol. X - NO.3 Published by Students of Fairfield University, Fairfield, Conn. November 7. 1958 QUALITY BAND FOR RITZ CONSIDERED BY I{ANE (Con't on PageS) Dr. Norman St. John-Stevas, who is presently engaged at Yale University in a comparative study of laws and morals in English and American laws, will speak on the topic of "Censorship" at 1 p.m. in Gonzaga Auditorium on Nov. 12, as one in the current series of Bellarmine Lectures. Dr. St. John-Stevas will treat of the moral and political problems inherent in the notion of censorship, and will discuss the relationship between law and literary taste from Anglo-Saxon times to the present. He also intends to view the present censorship of obscenity in litetature, and how laws relating to censorship in England and the United States may be improved. Since a novel entitled "Lolita" was not long in taking the place of "Peyton Place" at the head of the best seller lists, this discussion will be of definite topical pertinence. A Ph.D. from London University, Dr. St. John-Stevas has (Con't on Page 7) Censors And Literature Topic Wed. About five years ago a tradition began which in these times and this age seems to be the subject of much controversy. Months of constant bickering preceded its arrival and years of bitter resentment followed because of the consequent move. Such was the start and progress of the infamous Red Blazer of Fairfield University. Work On.

Ziegler has been elected junior representative for Fairfield University in the National Federation of Catholic College Students. The student council voted him to that position October 14., He will succeed Fran Marcellino as the senior delegate next year. Mr. Ziegler was born in Orange, New Jersey, 20 years ago, and now resides in Maplewood. He attended Columbia high school and entered Fairfield University in the class of 1960. He is currently studying for Bachelor of Arts, majoring in history. As a freshman, he attended NFCCS workshops, but became interested in the organization itself at the beginning of this year. He took part in the workshop October 19 at Fairfield U. on "Liturgy and the Family," and is currently engaged with the rest of the body in laying plans for a week-end of Forensics in February. Connor The Chief Veteran Talent On CoCo Varsity The music of Richard Maltby, Les and Larry Elgart, Charlie Spivak, Eliot Lawrence, Duke Ellington, Warren Covington, Billy May, Lee Castle, Ray Eberly or Neale Hefti are strong contenders to get the nod from Carnival Chairman Paul Kane to play at the formal Mid-Winter Carnival for '59. --------------~ The hiring of a big name Band and the possibility for a much larger capacity attendance by the student body were the promises concomitant with the announcement of the appointment of Mr. Kane last year. He has passed all expectations. Also under deep consideration is the location of the big affair. Last year, as most of us recall, we danced to the music of Chic Chicetti in the relatively crowded, but luxuriously beautiful Longshore Country Club. A way to remedy this cramped situation is to have the formal held at the spacious Ritz Ballroom, which however, isn't as plush as the Longshore. The price of the bid will be $3.50 -less at the Ritz than at Longshore. Mr. Kane pointed out that this big name band, along with a larger audience is something Frank Connor on an afternoon we at Fairfield deserve because before practice. of lack of space, music we received last year. A college growing by leaps and bounds like Fairfield ought to hire big name bands as a matter of course for its main social activity of the year. The tentative plans in Kane's By JOE McNAMARA (Con't on Page 8) As lead off man in this series of articles, the "Stag" has chosen a man whose name has been outstanding in the field of track and cross-country for the past two years. A man whose competitive spirit and sportsmanlike attitude both on and off the cinders have won him the admiration and respect of all who know him. Such a man is Frank Connor. Frank, a graduate of Brooklyn Prep, has been outstanding thus far in Fairfield's Intercollegiate Track Competition. As a freshman and then again in his sophomore year, he set both the frosh and the varsity crosscountry records. In his frosh year, Frank was one of Coach Tamashunas' big point men during the '57 track season. As a sophomore, however, he was spiked in the heel during the half-mile event at the Connecticut Track Conference Championships and was sidelined for the rest of the season. H a vi n g fully recuperated, Frank is now doing a fine job (Con't on Page 10) Page Two THE STAG November 7, 1958 Last night, The Student Council received two thousand, one hundred dollars from the Bellarmine Fathers Guild of the Prep. The money was the college's reward for assisting the Father's Guild in their annual raffle of last S!'ring, whose entire profits have in the past been ·used by the Guild to aid the University in improving the physical plant. Today, the Student Council and the Resident Council, the re!lresentatives of the Fairfield student, have a huge sum, a huge responsibility in their hands. The logical question is, "How is the money to be used?" We have heard several notions broadcast about the benefits which the money could bring to the school. Yet. since none quite 'satisfied us, we ~ish to voice a judgment. as the chosen voice of the students, concerning the responsibility of the Student Council in this matter. Decidedly, the one item which a university can improve upon to its essential benefit is the intellectual climate of the school. Whatever else the university may be, it must first be the orime source in the community for intellectual fermentation and -development. It is our qualified judgment that this can best be aided at Fairfield now by inviting a group of the intellectual leaders of the country to our cam!'us for the next year's series of Bellarmine Lectures. There can be no denial that this year our sister college, Boston College is entertaining the eminent T. S. Eliot, Robert .Frost, and several others of high calibre in their fields. Holy Cross has invited Louis Untermeyer. Thurston Davis, S.J.. and m~n of comoarable stature. The best reason heard from the offices of thi~ colleqe in aswer to our lack of a prime quality leciure series has b~en that in our present state of booming expansion, a proper source of money to pay these men for their visits is lacking. It is the proposal of this paper that' a fraction of the money - five hundred dollars at most - be allocated to the Bellarmine Lecture Committee as a stipend for a quality slate of speakers for the 1959-60 series. As a motion of the Student Council, the gift will signify the co-operation of student and admin1'stration for the intellectual development of the University. It is assumed that other needs of the physical plant can be justly met by the remaining majority of the sum. W. N. FEATURE EDITOR Bill Lavery Walter Naedle EXCHANGE EDITOR Larry Kelly BUSINESS MANAGER Bob Kaulbach ence and really love the sport. Nevertheless there are still some frosh who should be out for the team but they manage to find some excuse for avoiding this hard work. I'm sure that this present crop of freshmen, with their spirit and determination, will break the previous years' tradition and come out again in mass for the varsity next fall. I've purposely neglected to mention the names of the individuals who should be out for the squad, but you know who they are. Sometime why don't you ask them why they aren't running? Maybe' you'll get a good reason this time. Or maybe you'll come to the conclusion that some of them are just averse to anything that requires a little effort. In other words, they are just plain lazy. Before this article comes to its conclusion I would like to point out that the fellows on the squad have really given it all that they had. This year we were very pleasantly surprised at the work Jack Quinn has turned in. This is a fellow who never ran before but who practiced all summer so he could run this fall. Frank Connor and Phil Gallagher are always out there working hard and the results of this are seen in the meets. John Garrity, Pete Kujawski, Pete Hauser, Jay Simpson, and John LaTerra have improved with each meet. But as a team improves and develops it must suffer some defeats in the process. In any sport it's hard to start each season with a team that is made up for the most part of rookies. We are more than happy to have these rookies each year, but it would be nice to see some of the vets come back. A lot of them don't for one reason or another. Just one other thing. Crosscountry is a major sport no matter what anybody says or thinks. It takes a lot of guts to go out there and run hard for from twenty to thirty minutes depending on the length of the course. Now in the past here at Fairfield we have supported losing teams in other sports. The number of people who show up to see a meet here is a disgrace. I've traveled to other (Con't on Page 5) STAFF Dick Cummings NEWS EDITOR Larry Lessing SPORTS EDITOR Philip K. P'i Swanson PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR Art Funk J. McNamara, G. Stokes, B. Lawler, W.

In only one meet were we really outclassed and that was against St. John's who have over ten men on scholarship. All the other meets were close and those other men could have made the difference. Cross-country is a team effort. You have to have at least seven men who can stay right up there near the top. How can you do this if you only have five men running? These five men gave their all but all the odds were against them. The same thing has happened this year. Of last year's freshmen cross-country squad, only five, Garrity, Kujawski, Simpson, Hauser, and LaTerra have returned. Why haven't the other men come out for the team? Yes, why haven't they? When you ask them the reasons for their action they always come up with the same old excuse: "I have too much work to do and too much studying to do." Since when have they become so devoted to their studies? Nobody has to study that much that they can't get a little exercise. While they're exercising their mouths gabbing away the afternoon they could be limbering up; while they spend their spare time playing cards or listening to the high-fi they could be running the course. Sure, they study. They say that they have to study and perhaps they do, but why do some of them suddenly find time to come out for spring track. It seems a bit strange doesn't it. Those two facts just don't jive. There are some members on this year's squad that have tough schedules and yet they manage to get' in. their practice each day without any harm to their marks. Some of them even hitch home after working out. Those' fellows are men in the true sense of the word. They want to do something and they have to make sacrifices for it, but that doesn't stop them. This year's freshmen squad looks to be even better than the crew that won the C.T.C. crown two years ago. Most of them have had high school experi- -,---------_._-------------- Dear Editor: During the past week or so I've been approached by quite a few people and asked this question: "What's wrong with the varsity c I' 0 S S - C 0 un try squad?" I'm sure that most of the student body would like to have this question answered too, and so I'll do my best to explain. But before I go any further let me say that this article is not mean to injure anyone deliberately, but the facts sometimes hurt. This article's purpose is not to slur but to explain why the varsity has won only two meets in the last two years. When I was a sophomore we didn't have a very good varsity squad. But although we didn't have a good season we looked with hope to the freshmen who would be joining us on the squad the following season. The frosh that year were really good. They had great spirit and were always out practicing. When they went down to Van Cortlandt Park and won the C. T. C. championship they were heralded as just what the school needed, but nothing was farther from the truth. The Little Stags were big runners. Things would surely look up when the next fall season arrived. When Sept. rolled around and I learned that I was to lead the squad as captain I was honored to do so. This looked as if it would be our first big year on those hill and dale ventures. But when practice began there were only a few of the old faces back. Connor and Gallagher along with Cuskley and a newcomer, Tom Shea were out for the team but that was all. The rest, well they just sat around. That meant that we only had two out of six from the -previous year's frosh team. You can't just lose four men that you were going to count on and not feel it. You can't What's wrong with the varsity cross - c 0 u n try squad? By BOB McCARTHY ily Life Movement, was Mrs. William Newland who confined her remarks to the liturgy in the home. From the Advent candle showing the history of the Jewish people as they awaited the Christ child to a puppet show to explain to her children that Christ and not Santa Claus is the reason for Christmas, Mrs. Newland showed us how she weaved the liturgy into the everyday environment of her home. I have taken the time to write this so that I could give the student body some idea of what they missed. Of the 125 people present, about 25 were from FaIrfield. Many of the girl8, that were present travelled two hours from Our Lady of the Elms College to attend. Yet it was too difficult for the men at Fairfield to walk 5 minutes from the dorm or drive 15 to 20 minutes from the surrounding area. I hope the support for the future workshops will be much improved and we won't be outnumbered 4-1 on our own campus again. At one time Fairfield would regularly travel to other schools and outnumber the students of the host school. I guess times have changed. Sincerely, JACK SEERY, '59 THE CAMPUS WAS ASLEEP THAT SUNDAY.

In ten weeks, Fairfield's Lewis and Clark orbited and saw the nation in scooterama. They slept in parks, jail cells, on canyon rims, and in lavish homes. They drank free beer in the Lone Star Brewery, and drank paid-for beer at the bottom of Grand Canyon. Somehow they managed to find time to eat in Las Vegas. Jerseysite McCann and Hartfordite Harper passed through Shenandoah Valley, McCoy country, Basin Street, rattler-crawling Texas, notorious border towns, congested L.A., Frisco's waterfront and Chinatown, Yellowstone, the Bad Lands, the Wheat Belt, once around Chicago, and back to the Empire State. Somehow they missed Disney Land! Modern America impressed them with its hospitality. The only trouble they had was the bear who sat on their scooters. No war parties, dry-gulchers or other disagreeables troubled them. There were plenty of American Samaritans. They brought back more than Lewis and Clark brought back to Jefferson.

It is a mural, a pictorial description of the life of the great saint Aloysius Gonzaga, Patron of Youth. By depicting symbolically the various phases of this saintly man's life, the artist, Mr. Bernard Riley, displays the joys, anxieties, holiness, humility, the works of charity and the perseverance which permeate the life of St. Aloysious. In the upper left hand corner of the mural the artist begins his story. Shown is the joy of the Gonzaga family at the birth of a first son, who will carryon the family name. The happiness has turned to despair in the next sequence, after the elder Gonzaga learns of his son's desire to enter the clergy. Chiefly responsible for this choice was the influence of the mother of Aloysius, as can be seen in the following scene, where she is teaching him to pray. Also important was the guidance of his tutor, depicted in the next part. Aloysius then received the blessing of St. Charles Borromeo. Aloysius, now about to enter the Jesuits, is teaching catechism to some young boys against the worldly background of his father's court. On the left, an elderly woman stands next to a fence of twisted iron while c.olding some bulrushes, which are the traditional symbol of humility; Aloysius was known for his striking humility. He once compared himself to twisted iron that needed to be straightened. In the novitiate he deliberately sought the most menial tasks available. The next part is of especial significance. After entering the Jesuits, Gonzaga made a pilgrimage to Rome. On his way, he come upon the Tiber which he was unable to cross. A man appeared and offered to carry him across. Upon reaching the other side the man disappeared. The Tiber symbolizes the great obstacles to his vocation (Le. his family), and the man who helped him, the grace with which God endowed him to overcome them. Here, too, a man stands holding a bundle of bulrushes, foretelling the acts of charity which St. Aloysius' will perform in the city of Rome. When he reached the city, Rome was suffering in the midst Saintly Life Of Poverty Is Depicted By Gonzaga Mural Management's social responsibility has become more than a form of self-flattery practiced at an occasional Community Chest banquet. It was started as a defensive move by its own leaders because of the harsh attacks being made on the big corporations and on the moral effects of the profit system. These leaders declared that "social responsibility" was what business needed. It needed to take society more seriously, to participate in community affairs - not to just take from the community but to give to it. What started out as the sincere personal viewpoints of a few selfless businessmen has now become the prevailing mode for them alL How did this come about? The ideas of 'thes~ few men spread throughout the business world. They may not have been taken seriously at first but after businessmen repeated and expanded on these ideas, they ultimately came to believe what they were saying. Today many corporations issue pronouncements about social responsibility, everybody is in on the fact, and nearly all of them mean what they say. It is widely agreed that this is good. Business will raise itself in the public's esteem and thereby ease the political attacks against it. If the public likes big business, nobody can gain votes by attacking it. Thus social responsibility will prolong the lifetime of free enterprise. Meanwhile the profit motive shares its royal throne with a multitude of noncommercial motives that aspire to higher and more satisfying values. Today it is not fashionable for the corporation to take gleeful pride in making money. What is fasionable is for the corporation to show that it is a great innovator, a great public benefactor; and that it exists to serve the public. Last year the board chairman of Sears, Roebuck and Co. stated that not only is business's first responsibility social, but business executives, like Secretary Benson's farmers, should look less to their pocketbooks and more to their spirits. Not even the chairman's suggestion that the top brass are overpaid ruffled any managerial feathers. If this had happened 25 years ago his (Con't on Page 5) Management's Social Burden By PETER NEGRI Once upon a time, in the'State of Conneciicut, there sprung up a new tribe of animals, who were called maninreds. They were high s!,irited, sometimes even boisterous, and their fur was a bright red. Well, one day, when it seemed that the maninreds had been around long enough so that people recognized them, a group of them decided that they would no longer wear red fur. This fable concerns a conversation between two maninreds, one who wanted to keep the traditional fur, they other, who wanted to change it. "Why don't you want red fur?" "No one likes it." "How do you know?" "1 don't like it." "Oh, I see; you don't like it, therefore no one does. By the way, why don't you like it?" "Well, it looks sort of cheap and loud:' "That's odd, I've quite often heard the little girl animals around here say that they liked the red fur. And as you well know a good deal of the girl animals, particularly those down beyond the Hilltop, don't care for chea!, things." (Author's observation: A certain men's store, we can't tell you its name, but its initials are Brooks Brothers, is now featuring red blazers. This, of course, h'as nothing to do with the fable.) "Not only that, but we're getting older now. We should be more conservative:' "Does being conservative mean being just like everyone else or does it mean holding with tradition?" "The red fur is all right when there's lots of maninreds around. But, if I wear it outside the territory all the bulldogs, eagles, hoyas and crusaders know that I'm a maninred:' "Do you care if people know you're a maninred? Does it really bother you?" "Of course, I don't care if people know, much. But you've got to admit that we're a new tribe and we don't have tradition like the rams and other tribes do. So why don't we change our fur and be more like them1" "!:)ure we have tradition; it may be only five years old but the whole tribe isn't much older. You admitted it yourself when you said that at a dance everyone knows that you're a maninred. It may sound odd to you, but some of us are proud of being maninreds. If we wanted to be maninblues, we would've joined their tribe instead of ours. Maybe if you really want to wear dark fur, and not let anyone know that you're a maninred, you shouldn't call yourself a maninred at all."

Frosh From Hawaii - Lebanon Air Judgements On Fairfield By WALTER NA~DELE To a senior complacent with the knowledge that he has experienced college life to the best of his abilities and circumstances, the fact may be vague and impertinent that there are a couple of hundred freshmen only beginning to taste the richness of knowledge, of culture, of social life that college offers. To that senior, the college he entered three years ago was sharply different in the character of the buildings he occupied, in the courses that were available, in the social cross-sections of men he met in the corridors.

Sean Sullivan is by no means the first from Rhode Island to attend Fairfield. But he does have a novel idea concerning the school. Since the first class was graduated in 1951, and the reputation of the University is a-building, Sean considers that the professors at Fairfield would make an extra effort to turn out qualified graduates who would give the school a name for educational quality and intellectu-al excellence. And again,. citing newness and smallness, this freshman was encouraged by the sense of being an individual, an individual with distinction as a Fairfield student.

The thunderous hoof-beats got louder and louder, climaxing in a floor-shaking thud on my door. Then my worst fears came ~rue. I heard a key slipping mto the lock, and a split second later two-hundred and thirtyfour (on second thought it was thirty-FIVE) "jolly fellows" came bursting into the room like a hose being turned on fuli force. My Latin papers went swirling around the room, and out mto the cool air of the corridor. Politely, I made my way <;JUt to retrieve them, and, turnmg around to re-enter the room I found the door locked. Not having my key, I began banging on the door (I say began, for it was ten minutes before anyone heard me.) I waded through the mass of humanity (?), got my books, and made my way through the cold night air to the library ... And so the subtle cry goes out (from this naive Frosh) for a bit of piece and quiet every now and then in the dorm. I'm not advocating turning the dormitories into a monastery; I just ask for enough quiet in which to think. By the way, fellow Frosh this is YOUR column; it is you; representative-in-print.

There is nothing mysterious about the social responsibility idea materializing into concrete action. It does not reflect a change in businessmen's nature or the decay of self-interest. Quite to the contrary, often it is viewed as a way of maximizing the lifetime of capitalism by taking the wind out of its critics' sails. It is confessed that activities such as supporting company intramural athletic programs, or underwriting employee dramatic performances are not charity. They are hardheaded tactics of survival against the attacks of politicians and professional detractors. TFI'E STAG BLAZERS. for the change.

By PAT WAIDE Our late Holy Father during his lifetime revealed amazing insight of radio, television, and the other fields of the communications media. His Papal letters and addresses on the subject of the communication - arts, together with his encyclical, "Miranda Prorsus" ("Remarkable Inventions"), bequeath to the world of theatrical ideas, a legacy rich in understanding and wisdom. The basic end of communication is to be at the service of truth, aiming at the perfection of human life and morals, and the extension of the kingdom of Christ. Pope Pius XII spoke of the great potentiality of the inventions developed by the arts and sciences for the realization of this end. He cited radio as one of the most powerful means for spreading true civilization and culture. It can bear witness, he said, before the whole world to the truth and glory of God, and promote the victory of being, consolation, hope, and love on this earth and draw men closer in their common purpose. Television he praised with equal approbation. In this invention, he perceived innumerable advantages, but the one that was most dear to him was its ability to provide the family, the cell of society, with an opportunity to enjoy together pleasant recreation, far from the dangers of unhealthy company and places. Just as there is with every right a corresponding duty, so also in the communications media there is a great moral responsibility. These arts and sciences must be at the service of the dignity of life and Christian ethics. Our late Pontiff wrote copiously of the obligations of the radio, television, and the motion picture industries to hold sacred the child's innocence the youth's purity, the holy chastity of matrimony, and th~ happiness of a family life based on the fear and love of God. He especially counseled television on the serious dangers of imprudent entertainment since the suggestive power of this instrument is greater and the public to whom it is directed is wider. This invention's keenest and most attentive audience, he said, is the chi.1dren and adolescents, who, by reason of their ages, can more easily fall prey to its fascination and, consciously or unconsciously, transmit into living reality the images they absorb from the animated picture on the screen. Pope Pius XII answered those who advocate a supposed right to indiscriminate liberty in art and plea that the imparting of information is free, by stating that there is no foundation for their argument here because higher values are at stake. His written and spoken words abound in lucid appraisal of obligations of the press. He warned that the press must see events as they really happen, and there must be .truth .in .presentation, whereby it reports faithfully events as they have actually occurred, and interpret them by no other standard than that of justice and charity. The' writings of the late Vicar of Christ on the communications media are as clear and rich in prophetic significance, as are the encyclicals of Leo XIII to the world of labor. His "Miranda Prorsus" can be profitably studied by film and television. producers, directors, writers, actors, theatre managers, critics and journalists, as well as by all students of the arts and wise and prudent parents. Today there is a prime need to attract the intelligent, spiritually well-formed Catholic student into the communications media. This vast field has tremendous influence upon the earth's millions, and it will not change in one night by itself. It will require dedication and hard work to animate this most important media with the spirit and teachings of "Remarkable Inventions", because there will always be those who lack character and energy and are interested only in what can give them the biggest box office receipts, the highest ratings or the largest circulations, without giving real attention. to the moral value of their product. Yet, each one of us can do his part by undercutting them where it will damage them the most. Refuse to patronize the lower classified movies, do not watch the suggestive or immoral television shows and be more discriminate in purchasing magazines. If we fail to do this we are indirectly giving approval, making an offer for more, and more we shall get. The late Pope left for those in television, radio, the movies, and the press, and all who patronize them, a warning that unless the remarkable inventions of our time are developed to serve, ennoble, and better, then they inevitably must enslave, even submerge mankind.

November 7. 1958 Teahouse, As It THE STAG Th,e Page Six The Stag Mountains, One Goat And Collapsible Tea House Part Of Work Have you been wondering how the University Production of TEA HOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON by John Patrick has been coming along? We thought you might. So in order to give you a preview of opening night my editor sent me out scouting the production and the leading actors. Hitting upon the technical crew first, we find Mr. Frank Barrett and his crew spending long hours building almost all the scenery to be used in the production. To date the crew has worked long hours on constructing such items as tree trunks, mountain backgrounds, trees, a brick wall and the Tea House. Thus far the biggest obstacles which must be overcome are time and transportation. Time because all scenery must soon be completed with the play rapidly approaching and transportation because all« > the assembled scenery must be brought to Bridgeport without mishap. But judging by all expectations this year's production of TEA HOUSE will be provided with the best backgrounds in recent years. Thus leaving only one other item yet to be seen. The word is that the Tea House will be assembled on stage in 60 seconds. Don't believe it? Only one way to find out and that is to be there opening night. Concerning the production we find the leading figures of Madeline Klein as Lotus Blossom, Dave Barrett as Capt. Frisbie and Tom Morrison as Sakini working continuously to make this production a success. With their biggest difficulties of lines and dialogue pretty much overcome, they are all on their way to successful performances. In order to give more reality to their parts the director, Mr. Emerich stresses that the actors read their lines until they know them and are a part of them rather than to memorize them. This was proven very difficult but in the end it will definitely make for a superior performance. Next to learning their lines the biggest difficulty with which the actors have encountered is dialogue. Since the Japanese language is very difficult, many of the actors have found this the toughest obstacle. But with the help of a great desire to be successful which is evident in every member of the production and the help of a private tutor for Miss Klein, all should go very smoothly on opening night. A play of this type, because of the intricate scenery and dialogue, is a very difficult type to present. With all indications tending towards a great performance, all those involved will be able to take their well desE: rved bows after a job well done.

They cover round-trip transportation, tuition and maintenance for one academic year.

HAWAII TO LEBANON (Con't from Page 4) culiar New England character and way of living to bring so many to campuses of Amherst, Dartmouth, Williams and Yale brought a fellow from Washington, D.C., to Fairfield's campus. V. Stephen Carberry used to live in New England, and for him college meant an Eastern college, and, as with each of the men interviewed, a Jesuit college. Jesuit because authoritarianism and discipline in philosophy and applied ethics just isn't out of vogue. And that about defined in outline Fairfield's distinctiveness ranking with the other Eastern schools here in New England in physical and cultural backcrround, bettered by a classical Jesuit system of university education, and accented by a trait of individualism in the midst of cloying mass education. Perhaps better answers could have been given by different students, ones that hit more specifically at Fairfield's other developing traits. But to consider these three elements as Fairfield's basic character is sufficient for the compass of this article. Stan Rashid? Yes, why did this fellow from another country, another society, another culture, come to our campus? He writes: "After enjoying the splendor of the oldest civilization known to man, I feel that in order to complete my liberal education, it would be only logical to acquaint myself with the world's newest civilization - that of America. Why Fairfield University? The Jesuit system of education is considered the most efficient and complete in the world, whether it be in Beirut or Brooklyn. Fairfield is the culmination of that 0n Fisbie; and the dialogue was turning into what amounted to a soliloquy explaining what the creisha tea-house really meant. It was the best of the evening. 1+ went something like this: "The farmers have very little in this island. They live in homes cold in the winter when the mud in the walls freezes, hot in t,he summer when the sun bakes the odors out of the old straw on the roofs. They work ',orv hard. boss, but when the rctin comes there is little to eat too often. We say little about this, for we can do nothing but "'orget And then work tomorrow. But when a tea-house is built, ah, then we are happy in our hearts. For we come to the tea-house at the end of day. And a geisha puts a soft robe over our miserable clothing and invites us to sip tea. We come to these clean -and pretty and painted rooms where all is quiet and peace. The g-eisha asks us of our day's worries, and we speak, as if we speak to the god of comfort. We say that we are sad, and we are tired, and they Scty 'Oh, so bad, tell it to us and the troubles will be g-one'. And we speak, boss, and the geishas listen. And here, for a while, all our worries are lost as we speak our souls where there is a warm tea, and a beautiful robe about us, and a beautiful geisha to hear us. And pretty onon. boss, our troubles, they do gO away. And that was a nice thought in a week of tests. A nicer thought occurred that maybe I'd feel that way, too, when I see the play. in each scene so that they would be smooth, and in rhythm, and would present not only a good visual picture to the audience, but also would accent the ideas being developed in the dialogue. Dialogue was interrupted a couple of times., and once there was a conflict of opinion. For in plotting out the general action a week before, a change on Don Zucco's director's script hadn't been noted by Barrett. Without the change, Barrett would have been blocking the audience's view of Sakini on the left side. "There'll be no geishas here, Sakini," Dave Barrett's character blurted, and our ears perked up. Barrett was red in the face and.. for an informal place like a classroom in Canisius Hall, convicing in declaring that he couldn't accept any geishas and that this business of modernizing the island of Tobiki had to be gotten under way the very next day. Well, we knew that he was doomed to disappointment and to a change of heart, so we smiled a bit at this person of Capt. Fisbie. The evening progressed with the usual amount of interruptions and corrections and playbacks, and as a bit of sneakpreviewing, this sitting-in on rehearsal was proving interesting, and more than a diversion from the books for'that night. And then there came a moment when all the kids in the room became silent and our own ctttention turned from noting details to the words being spoken. Sakini was at a critical point in the convincing You walk into a room, and there is a pretty girl in dark brown Bermuda shorts and a beige Shetland sweater-speaking Japanese as she bows towards Tom Morrison. She speaks about five full sentences in this strange tongue, and then, keeping her knees together so that she will look like an Oriental walking in raised heels, she shuffles back to downstage riglit. She stands there at a corner of the mat that represents a stage, and listens, a bit passively, as Morrison argues in the part of a clever Oriental with Dave Barrett. This was a 9 P.M. rehearsal of three scenes of the "Teahouse of the August Moon" one school-day evening about a week ago. There were a good dozen of familiar figures waiting for their parts to be called, talking together, watching the acting along with Mr. Emerich, Fr. Mullin, and Don Zucco, or perhaps studying a bit. Sakini, the character that Morrison is taking on, gave a surprising performance in what we thought would be. a mere run-through. Speaking in a high voice, inflecting the words with 0 kin a wan sharpness, mimicking the phrases by raising and lowering his eyebrows and staring wide-eyed at Barrett's reactions, Sakini was a different person entirely than the guy who's in Fr. Clancy's ethics class at 9:10 each morning. That night Mr. Emerich was finishing the blocking of the scenes - that is, plotting out the movements of each player A Mob Scene - and s'QlQ~one on, the right isn't paying attention. Why should he?

The Fall !lrogram includes football. volley ball. golf and bowling. The important part of this program is not its comprehensiveness. but rather the large student participation. Football is the most po:"ular part of the program and there have been many exciting and rough games thus far. Fourteen teams are re:!,resented in the leagues. In the Senior division both Mike Kelly's team and Buzz Garrity's team are undefeated as we go to :!'ress. These teams are scheduled to meet in their next outing. so only one team will have a chance for an unblemished record. The "Stag" will carry a full report of this contest in the next issue. and will finish the season with its first Fairfield "allstar" team. Thirteen teams have qualified for the golf tournament and handicaps have been allotted. These are based on the qualifying scores which the participants registered in the qualifying rounds. which was won by Pete Low and John Downey. Mike Low and Tom Czarnota finished second in this first round. The bowlers have been busy scattering the maples at Kingsway Alleys. The favorites in this tournament thus far are Nick DePaola and Jim Betts. followed closely by the tough combination of Al Feauregard and Ernie Tarantino. Sam Mowad and Nick DePaola are the co-chairmen of the 15 team league. Credit for the intramural program has to go to the joint faculty' moderators. Rev. Charles Farrington. S.J.. and Father Augustus Caffrey. S.J. Special mention is also due to "Commissioner" Creed who has done a ne job in handling the many complicated details that go with a full-scale intramural program. To all that have worked so hard that this program might be a success. we wish to extend our congratulations on a job well done. I That ball is going to feel its being rejected if they keep this up.

Their next test will be on Nov. 8 when they run against New Britain and Adephi at New Britain. Since New Britain is expected to prove to be the freshmen's chief opponent for the C.T.C. championship, this meet should go a long way towards determining the winner.

November 7. 1958 QUALITY BAND FOR RITZ CONSIDERED BY I{ANE (Con't on PageS) Dr. Norman St. John-Stevas, who is presently engaged at Yale University in a comparative study of laws and morals in English and American laws, will speak on the topic of "Censorship" at 1 p.m. in Gonzaga Auditorium on Nov. 12, as one in the current series of Bellarmine Lectures. Dr. St. John-Stevas will treat of the moral and political problems inherent in the notion of censorship, and will discuss the relationship between law and literary taste from Anglo-Saxon times to the present. He also intends to view the present censorship of obscenity in litetature, and how laws relating to censorship in England and the United States may be improved. Since a novel entitled "Lolita" was not long in taking the place of "Peyton Place" at the head of the best seller lists, this discussion will be of definite topical pertinence. A Ph.D. from London University, Dr. St. John-Stevas has (Con't on Page 7) Censors And Literature Topic Wed.

Ziegler has been elected junior representative for Fairfield University in the National Federation of Catholic College Students. The student council voted him to that position October 14., He will succeed Fran Marcellino as the senior delegate next year. Mr. Ziegler was born in Orange, New Jersey, 20 years ago, and now resides in Maplewood. He attended Columbia high school and entered Fairfield University in the class of 1960. He is currently studying for Bachelor of Arts, majoring in history. As a freshman, he attended NFCCS workshops, but became interested in the organization itself at the beginning of this year. He took part in the workshop October 19 at Fairfield U. on "Liturgy and the Family," and is currently engaged with the rest of the body in laying plans for a week-end of Forensics in February. Connor The Chief Veteran Talent On CoCo Varsity The music of Richard Maltby, Les and Larry Elgart, Charlie Spivak, Eliot Lawrence, Duke Ellington, Warren Covington, Billy May, Lee Castle, Ray Eberly or Neale Hefti are strong contenders to get the nod from Carnival Chairman Paul Kane to play at the formal Mid-Winter Carnival for '59. --------------~ The hiring of a big name Band and the possibility for a much larger capacity attendance by the student body were the promises concomitant with the announcement of the appointment of Mr. Kane last year. He has passed all expectations. Also under deep consideration is the location of the big affair. Last year, as most of us recall, we danced to the music of Chic Chicetti in the relatively crowded, but luxuriously beautiful Longshore Country Club. A way to remedy this cramped situation is to have the formal held at the spacious Ritz Ballroom, which however, isn't as plush as the Longshore. The price of the bid will be $3.50 -less at the Ritz than at Longshore. Mr. Kane pointed out that this big name band, along with a larger audience is something Frank Connor on an afternoon we at Fairfield deserve because before practice. of lack of space, music we received last year. A college growing by leaps and bounds like Fairfield ought to hire big name bands as a matter of course for its main social activity of the year. The tentative plans in Kane's By JOE McNAMARA (Con't on Page 8) As lead off man in this series of articles, the "Stag" has chosen a man whose name has been outstanding in the field of track and cross-country for the past two years. A man whose competitive spirit and sportsmanlike attitude both on and off the cinders have won him the admiration and respect of all who know him. Such a man is Frank Connor. Frank, a graduate of Brooklyn Prep, has been outstanding thus far in Fairfield's Intercollegiate Track Competition. As a freshman and then again in his sophomore year, he set both the frosh and the varsity crosscountry records. In his frosh year, Frank was one of Coach Tamashunas' big point men during the '57 track season. As a sophomore, however, he was spiked in the heel during the half-mile event at the Connecticut Track Conference Championships and was sidelined for the rest of the season. H a vi n g fully recuperated, Frank is now doing a fine job (Con't on Page 10) Page Two THE STAG November 7, 1958 Last night, The Student Council received two thousand, one hundred dollars from the Bellarmine Fathers Guild of the Prep. The money was the college's reward for assisting the Father's Guild in their annual raffle of last S!'ring, whose entire profits have in the past been ·used by the Guild to aid the University in improving the physical plant. Today, the Student Council and the Resident Council, the re!lresentatives of the Fairfield student, have a huge sum, a huge responsibility in their hands. The logical question is, "How is the money to be used?" We have heard several notions broadcast about the benefits which the money could bring to the school. Yet. since none quite 'satisfied us, we ~ish to voice a judgment. as the chosen voice of the students, concerning the responsibility of the Student Council in this matter. Decidedly, the one item which a university can improve upon to its essential benefit is the intellectual climate of the school. Whatever else the university may be, it must first be the orime source in the community for intellectual fermentation and -development. It is our qualified judgment that this can best be aided at Fairfield now by inviting a group of the intellectual leaders of the country to our cam!'us for the next year's series of Bellarmine Lectures. There can be no denial that this year our sister college, Boston College is entertaining the eminent T. S. Eliot, Robert .Frost, and several others of high calibre in their fields. Holy Cross has invited Louis Untermeyer. Thurston Davis, S.J.. and m~n of comoarable stature. The best reason heard from the offices of thi~ colleqe in aswer to our lack of a prime quality leciure series has b~en that in our present state of booming expansion, a proper source of money to pay these men for their visits is lacking. It is the proposal of this paper that' a fraction of the money - five hundred dollars at most - be allocated to the Bellarmine Lecture Committee as a stipend for a quality slate of speakers for the 1959-60 series. As a motion of the Student Council, the gift will signify the co-operation of student and admin1'stration for the intellectual development of the University. It is assumed that other needs of the physical plant can be justly met by the remaining majority of the sum. W. N. FEATURE EDITOR Bill Lavery Walter Naedle EXCHANGE EDITOR Larry Kelly BUSINESS MANAGER Bob Kaulbach ence and really love the sport. Nevertheless there are still some frosh who should be out for the team but they manage to find some excuse for avoiding this hard work. I'm sure that this present crop of freshmen, with their spirit and determination, will break the previous years' tradition and come out again in mass for the varsity next fall. I've purposely neglected to mention the names of the individuals who should be out for the squad, but you know who they are. Sometime why don't you ask them why they aren't running? Maybe' you'll get a good reason this time. Or maybe you'll come to the conclusion that some of them are just averse to anything that requires a little effort. In other words, they are just plain lazy. Before this article comes to its conclusion I would like to point out that the fellows on the squad have really given it all that they had. This year we were very pleasantly surprised at the work Jack Quinn has turned in. This is a fellow who never ran before but who practiced all summer so he could run this fall. Frank Connor and Phil Gallagher are always out there working hard and the results of this are seen in the meets. John Garrity, Pete Kujawski, Pete Hauser, Jay Simpson, and John LaTerra have improved with each meet. But as a team improves and develops it must suffer some defeats in the process. In any sport it's hard to start each season with a team that is made up for the most part of rookies. We are more than happy to have these rookies each year, but it would be nice to see some of the vets come back. A lot of them don't for one reason or another. Just one other thing. Crosscountry is a major sport no matter what anybody says or thinks. It takes a lot of guts to go out there and run hard for from twenty to thirty minutes depending on the length of the course. Now in the past here at Fairfield we have supported losing teams in other sports. The number of people who show up to see a meet here is a disgrace. I've traveled to other (Con't on Page 5) STAFF Dick Cummings NEWS EDITOR Larry Lessing SPORTS EDITOR Philip K. P'i Swanson PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR Art Funk J. McNamara, G. Stokes, B. Lawler, W.

In only one meet were we really outclassed and that was against St. John's who have over ten men on scholarship. All the other meets were close and those other men could have made the difference. Cross-country is a team effort. You have to have at least seven men who can stay right up there near the top. How can you do this if you only have five men running? These five men gave their all but all the odds were against them. The same thing has happened this year. Of last year's freshmen cross-country squad, only five, Garrity, Kujawski, Simpson, Hauser, and LaTerra have returned. Why haven't the other men come out for the team? Yes, why haven't they? When you ask them the reasons for their action they always come up with the same old excuse: "I have too much work to do and too much studying to do." Since when have they become so devoted to their studies? Nobody has to study that much that they can't get a little exercise. While they're exercising their mouths gabbing away the afternoon they could be limbering up; while they spend their spare time playing cards or listening to the high-fi they could be running the course. Sure, they study. They say that they have to study and perhaps they do, but why do some of them suddenly find time to come out for spring track. It seems a bit strange doesn't it. Those two facts just don't jive. There are some members on this year's squad that have tough schedules and yet they manage to get' in. their practice each day without any harm to their marks. Some of them even hitch home after working out. Those' fellows are men in the true sense of the word. They want to do something and they have to make sacrifices for it, but that doesn't stop them. This year's freshmen squad looks to be even better than the crew that won the C.T.C. crown two years ago. Most of them have had high school experi- -,---------_._-------------- Dear Editor: During the past week or so I've been approached by quite a few people and asked this question: "What's wrong with the varsity c I' 0 S S - C 0 un try squad?" I'm sure that most of the student body would like to have this question answered too, and so I'll do my best to explain. But before I go any further let me say that this article is not mean to injure anyone deliberately, but the facts sometimes hurt. This article's purpose is not to slur but to explain why the varsity has won only two meets in the last two years. When I was a sophomore we didn't have a very good varsity squad. But although we didn't have a good season we looked with hope to the freshmen who would be joining us on the squad the following season. The frosh that year were really good. They had great spirit and were always out practicing. When they went down to Van Cortlandt Park and won the C. T. C. championship they were heralded as just what the school needed, but nothing was farther from the truth. The Little Stags were big runners. Things would surely look up when the next fall season arrived. When Sept. rolled around and I learned that I was to lead the squad as captain I was honored to do so. This looked as if it would be our first big year on those hill and dale ventures. But when practice began there were only a few of the old faces back. Connor and Gallagher along with Cuskley and a newcomer, Tom Shea were out for the team but that was all. The rest, well they just sat around. That meant that we only had two out of six from the -previous year's frosh team. You can't just lose four men that you were going to count on and not feel it. You can't What's wrong with the varsity cross - c 0 u n try squad? By BOB McCARTHY ily Life Movement, was Mrs. William Newland who confined her remarks to the liturgy in the home. From the Advent candle showing the history of the Jewish people as they awaited the Christ child to a puppet show to explain to her children that Christ and not Santa Claus is the reason for Christmas, Mrs. Newland showed us how she weaved the liturgy into the everyday environment of her home. I have taken the time to write this so that I could give the student body some idea of what they missed. Of the 125 people present, about 25 were from FaIrfield. Many of the girl8, that were present travelled two hours from Our Lady of the Elms College to attend. Yet it was too difficult for the men at Fairfield to walk 5 minutes from the dorm or drive 15 to 20 minutes from the surrounding area. I hope the support for the future workshops will be much improved and we won't be outnumbered 4-1 on our own campus again. At one time Fairfield would regularly travel to other schools and outnumber the students of the host school. I guess times have changed. Sincerely, JACK SEERY, '59 THE CAMPUS WAS ASLEEP THAT SUNDAY.

It is a mural, a pictorial description of the life of the great saint Aloysius Gonzaga, Patron of Youth. By depicting symbolically the various phases of this saintly man's life, the artist, Mr. Bernard Riley, displays the joys, anxieties, holiness, humility, the works of charity and the perseverance which permeate the life of St. Aloysious. In the upper left hand corner of the mural the artist begins his story. Shown is the joy of the Gonzaga family at the birth of a first son, who will carryon the family name. The happiness has turned to despair in the next sequence, after the elder Gonzaga learns of his son's desire to enter the clergy. Chiefly responsible for this choice was the influence of the mother of Aloysius, as can be seen in the following scene, where she is teaching him to pray. Also important was the guidance of his tutor, depicted in the next part. Aloysius then received the blessing of St. Charles Borromeo. Aloysius, now about to enter the Jesuits, is teaching catechism to some young boys against the worldly background of his father's court. On the left, an elderly woman stands next to a fence of twisted iron while c.olding some bulrushes, which are the traditional symbol of humility; Aloysius was known for his striking humility. He once compared himself to twisted iron that needed to be straightened. In the novitiate he deliberately sought the most menial tasks available. The next part is of especial significance. After entering the Jesuits, Gonzaga made a pilgrimage to Rome. On his way, he come upon the Tiber which he was unable to cross. A man appeared and offered to carry him across. Upon reaching the other side the man disappeared. The Tiber symbolizes the great obstacles to his vocation (Le. his family), and the man who helped him, the grace with which God endowed him to overcome them. Here, too, a man stands holding a bundle of bulrushes, foretelling the acts of charity which St. Aloysius' will perform in the city of Rome. When he reached the city, Rome was suffering in the midst Saintly Life Of Poverty Is Depicted By Gonzaga Mural Management's social responsibility has become more than a form of self-flattery practiced at an occasional Community Chest banquet. It was started as a defensive move by its own leaders because of the harsh attacks being made on the big corporations and on the moral effects of the profit system. These leaders declared that "social responsibility" was what business needed. It needed to take society more seriously, to participate in community affairs - not to just take from the community but to give to it. What started out as the sincere personal viewpoints of a few selfless businessmen has now become the prevailing mode for them alL How did this come about? The ideas of 'thes~ few men spread throughout the business world. They may not have been taken seriously at first but after businessmen repeated and expanded on these ideas, they ultimately came to believe what they were saying. Today many corporations issue pronouncements about social responsibility, everybody is in on the fact, and nearly all of them mean what they say. It is widely agreed that this is good. Business will raise itself in the public's esteem and thereby ease the political attacks against it. If the public likes big business, nobody can gain votes by attacking it. Thus social responsibility will prolong the lifetime of free enterprise. Meanwhile the profit motive shares its royal throne with a multitude of noncommercial motives that aspire to higher and more satisfying values. Today it is not fashionable for the corporation to take gleeful pride in making money. What is fasionable is for the corporation to show that it is a great innovator, a great public benefactor; and that it exists to serve the public. Last year the board chairman of Sears, Roebuck and Co. stated that not only is business's first responsibility social, but business executives, like Secretary Benson's farmers, should look less to their pocketbooks and more to their spirits. Not even the chairman's suggestion that the top brass are overpaid ruffled any managerial feathers. If this had happened 25 years ago his (Con't on Page 5) Management's Social Burden By PETER NEGRI Once upon a time, in the'State of Conneciicut, there sprung up a new tribe of animals, who were called maninreds. They were high s!,irited, sometimes even boisterous, and their fur was a bright red. Well, one day, when it seemed that the maninreds had been around long enough so that people recognized them, a group of them decided that they would no longer wear red fur. This fable concerns a conversation between two maninreds, one who wanted to keep the traditional fur, they other, who wanted to change it. "Why don't you want red fur?" "No one likes it." "How do you know?" "1 don't like it." "Oh, I see; you don't like it, therefore no one does. By the way, why don't you like it?" "Well, it looks sort of cheap and loud:' "That's odd, I've quite often heard the little girl animals around here say that they liked the red fur. And as you well know a good deal of the girl animals, particularly those down beyond the Hilltop, don't care for chea!, things." (Author's observation: A certain men's store, we can't tell you its name, but its initials are Brooks Brothers, is now featuring red blazers. This, of course, h'as nothing to do with the fable.) "Not only that, but we're getting older now. We should be more conservative:' "Does being conservative mean being just like everyone else or does it mean holding with tradition?" "The red fur is all right when there's lots of maninreds around. But, if I wear it outside the territory all the bulldogs, eagles, hoyas and crusaders know that I'm a maninred:' "Do you care if people know you're a maninred? Does it really bother you?" "Of course, I don't care if people know, much. But you've got to admit that we're a new tribe and we don't have tradition like the rams and other tribes do. So why don't we change our fur and be more like them1" "!:)ure we have tradition; it may be only five years old but the whole tribe isn't much older. You admitted it yourself when you said that at a dance everyone knows that you're a maninred. It may sound odd to you, but some of us are proud of being maninreds. If we wanted to be maninblues, we would've joined their tribe instead of ours. Maybe if you really want to wear dark fur, and not let anyone know that you're a maninred, you shouldn't call yourself a maninred at all."

Frosh From Hawaii - Lebanon Air Judgements On Fairfield By WALTER NA~DELE To a senior complacent with the knowledge that he has experienced college life to the best of his abilities and circumstances, the fact may be vague and impertinent that there are a couple of hundred freshmen only beginning to taste the richness of knowledge, of culture, of social life that college offers. To that senior, the college he entered three years ago was sharply different in the character of the buildings he occupied, in the courses that were available, in the social cross-sections of men he met in the corridors.

And again,. citing newness and smallness, this freshman was encouraged by the sense of being an individual, an individual with distinction as a Fairfield student.

SPRING SEMESTER IN VIENNA: MANAGEMENT (Con'i from Page 3) business career would probably have come to an abrupt end. There is nothing mysterious about the social responsibility idea materializing into concrete action. It does not reflect a change in businessmen's nature or the decay of self-interest. Quite to the contrary, often it is viewed as a way of maximizing the lifetime of capitalism by taking the wind out of its critics' sails. It is confessed that activities such as supporting company intramural athletic programs, or underwriting employee dramatic performances are not charity. They are hardheaded tactics of survival against the attacks of politicians and professional detractors. TFI'E STAG BLAZERS. for the change.

By PAT WAIDE Our late Holy Father during his lifetime revealed amazing insight of radio, television, and the other fields of the communications media. His Papal letters and addresses on the subject of the communication - arts, together with his encyclical, "Miranda Prorsus" ("Remarkable Inventions"), bequeath to the world of theatrical ideas, a legacy rich in understanding and wisdom. The basic end of communication is to be at the service of truth, aiming at the perfection of human life and morals, and the extension of the kingdom of Christ. Pope Pius XII spoke of the great potentiality of the inventions developed by the arts and sciences for the realization of this end. He cited radio as one of the most powerful means for spreading true civilization and culture. It can bear witness, he said, before the whole world to the truth and glory of God, and promote the victory of being, consolation, hope, and love on this earth and draw men closer in their common purpose. Television he praised with equal approbation. In this invention, he perceived innumerable advantages, but the one that was most dear to him was its ability to provide the family, the cell of society, with an opportunity to enjoy together pleasant recreation, far from the dangers of unhealthy company and places. Just as there is with every right a corresponding duty, so also in the communications media there is a great moral responsibility. These arts and sciences must be at the service of the dignity of life and Christian ethics. Our late Pontiff wrote copiously of the obligations of the radio, television, and the motion picture industries to hold sacred the child's innocence the youth's purity, the holy chastity of matrimony, and th~ happiness of a family life based on the fear and love of God. He especially counseled television on the serious dangers of imprudent entertainment since the suggestive power of this instrument is greater and the public to whom it is directed is wider. This invention's keenest and most attentive audience, he said, is the chi.1dren and adolescents, who, by reason of their ages, can more easily fall prey to its fascination and, consciously or unconsciously, transmit into living reality the images they absorb from the animated picture on the screen. Pope Pius XII answered those who advocate a supposed right to indiscriminate liberty in art and plea that the imparting of information is free, by stating that there is no foundation for their argument here because higher values are at stake. His written and spoken words abound in lucid appraisal of obligations of the press. He warned that the press must see events as they really happen, and there must be .truth .in .presentation, whereby it reports faithfully events as they have actually occurred, and interpret them by no other standard than that of justice and charity. The' writings of the late Vicar of Christ on the communications media are as clear and rich in prophetic significance, as are the encyclicals of Leo XIII to the world of labor. His "Miranda Prorsus" can be profitably studied by film and television. producers, directors, writers, actors, theatre managers, critics and journalists, as well as by all students of the arts and wise and prudent parents. Today there is a prime need to attract the intelligent, spiritually well-formed Catholic student into the communications media. This vast field has tremendous influence upon the earth's millions, and it will not change in one night by itself. It will require dedication and hard work to animate this most important media with the spirit and teachings of "Remarkable Inventions", because there will always be those who lack character and energy and are interested only in what can give them the biggest box office receipts, the highest ratings or the largest circulations, without giving real attention. to the moral value of their product. Yet, each one of us can do his part by undercutting them where it will damage them the most. Refuse to patronize the lower classified movies, do not watch the suggestive or immoral television shows and be more discriminate in purchasing magazines. If we fail to do this we are indirectly giving approval, making an offer for more, and more we shall get. The late Pope left for those in television, radio, the movies, and the press, and all who patronize them, a warning that unless the remarkable inventions of our time are developed to serve, ennoble, and better, then they inevitably must enslave, even submerge mankind.

November 7. 1958 Teahouse, As It THE STAG Th,e Page Six The Stag Mountains, One Goat And Collapsible Tea House Part Of Work Have you been wondering how the University Production of TEA HOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON by John Patrick has been coming along? We thought you might. So in order to give you a preview of opening night my editor sent me out scouting the production and the leading actors. Hitting upon the technical crew first, we find Mr. Frank Barrett and his crew spending long hours building almost all the scenery to be used in the production. To date the crew has worked long hours on constructing such items as tree trunks, mountain backgrounds, trees, a brick wall and the Tea House. Thus far the biggest obstacles which must be overcome are time and transportation. Time because all scenery must soon be completed with the play rapidly approaching and transportation because all« > the assembled scenery must be brought to Bridgeport without mishap. But judging by all expectations this year's production of TEA HOUSE will be provided with the best backgrounds in recent years. Thus leaving only one other item yet to be seen. The word is that the Tea House will be assembled on stage in 60 seconds. Don't believe it? Only one way to find out and that is to be there opening night. Concerning the production we find the leading figures of Madeline Klein as Lotus Blossom, Dave Barrett as Capt. Frisbie and Tom Morrison as Sakini working continuously to make this production a success. With their biggest difficulties of lines and dialogue pretty much overcome, they are all on their way to successful performances. In order to give more reality to their parts the director, Mr. Emerich stresses that the actors read their lines until they know them and are a part of them rather than to memorize them. This was proven very difficult but in the end it will definitely make for a superior performance. Next to learning their lines the biggest difficulty with which the actors have encountered is dialogue. Since the Japanese language is very difficult, many of the actors have found this the toughest obstacle. But with the help of a great desire to be successful which is evident in every member of the production and the help of a private tutor for Miss Klein, all should go very smoothly on opening night. A play of this type, because of the intricate scenery and dialogue, is a very difficult type to present. With all indications tending towards a great performance, all those involved will be able to take their well desE: rved bows after a job well done.

HAWAII TO LEBANON (Con't from Page 4) culiar New England character and way of living to bring so many to campuses of Amherst, Dartmouth, Williams and Yale brought a fellow from Washington, D.C., to Fairfield's campus. V. Stephen Carberry used to live in New England, and for him college meant an Eastern college, and, as with each of the men interviewed, a Jesuit college. Jesuit because authoritarianism and discipline in philosophy and applied ethics just isn't out of vogue. And that about defined in outline Fairfield's distinctiveness ranking with the other Eastern schools here in New England in physical and cultural backcrround, bettered by a classical Jesuit system of university education, and accented by a trait of individualism in the midst of cloying mass education. Perhaps better answers could have been given by different students, ones that hit more specifically at Fairfield's other developing traits. But to consider these three elements as Fairfield's basic character is sufficient for the compass of this article. Stan Rashid? Yes, why did this fellow from another country, another society, another culture, come to our campus? He writes: "After enjoying the splendor of the oldest civilization known to man, I feel that in order to complete my liberal education, it would be only logical to acquaint myself with the world's newest civilization - that of America. Why Fairfield University? The Jesuit system of education is considered the most efficient and complete in the world, whether it be in Beirut or Brooklyn.

It was the best of the evening. 1+ went something like this: "The farmers have very little in this island.

The g-eisha asks us of our day's worries, and we speak, as if we speak to the god of comfort. We say that we are sad, and we are tired, and they Scty 'Oh, so bad, tell it to us and the troubles will be g-one'. And we speak, boss, and the geishas listen. And here, for a while, all our worries are lost as we speak our souls where there is a warm tea, and a beautiful robe about us, and a beautiful geisha to hear us. And pretty onon. boss, our troubles, they do gO away. And that was a nice thought in a week of tests. A nicer thought occurred that maybe I'd feel that way, too, when I see the play. in each scene so that they would be smooth, and in rhythm, and would present not only a good visual picture to the audience, but also would accent the ideas being developed in the dialogue. Dialogue was interrupted a couple of times., and once there was a conflict of opinion. For in plotting out the general action a week before, a change on Don Zucco's director's script hadn't been noted by Barrett. Without the change, Barrett would have been blocking the audience's view of Sakini on the left side. "There'll be no geishas here, Sakini," Dave Barrett's character blurted, and our ears perked up. Barrett was red in the face and.. for an informal place like a classroom in Canisius Hall, convicing in declaring that he couldn't accept any geishas and that this business of modernizing the island of Tobiki had to be gotten under way the very next day. Well, we knew that he was doomed to disappointment and to a change of heart, so we smiled a bit at this person of Capt. Fisbie. The evening progressed with the usual amount of interruptions and corrections and playbacks, and as a bit of sneakpreviewing, this sitting-in on rehearsal was proving interesting, and more than a diversion from the books for'that night. And then there came a moment when all the kids in the room became silent and our own ctttention turned from noting details to the words being spoken. Sakini was at a critical point in the convincing You walk into a room, and there is a pretty girl in dark brown Bermuda shorts and a beige Shetland sweater-speaking Japanese as she bows towards Tom Morrison. She speaks about five full sentences in this strange tongue, and then, keeping her knees together so that she will look like an Oriental walking in raised heels, she shuffles back to downstage riglit. She stands there at a corner of the mat that represents a stage, and listens, a bit passively, as Morrison argues in the part of a clever Oriental with Dave Barrett. This was a 9 P.M. rehearsal of three scenes of the "Teahouse of the August Moon" one school-day evening about a week ago. There were a good dozen of familiar figures waiting for their parts to be called, talking together, watching the acting along with Mr. Emerich, Fr. Mullin, and Don Zucco, or perhaps studying a bit. Sakini, the character that Morrison is taking on, gave a surprising performance in what we thought would be. a mere run-through. Speaking in a high voice, inflecting the words with 0 kin a wan sharpness, mimicking the phrases by raising and lowering his eyebrows and staring wide-eyed at Barrett's reactions, Sakini was a different person entirely than the guy who's in Fr. Clancy's ethics class at 9:10 each morning. That night Mr. Emerich was finishing the blocking of the scenes - that is, plotting out the movements of each player A Mob Scene - and s'QlQ~one on, the right isn't paying attention. Why should he? Yes, this Redgate's no fool! Page Eight: THE STAG November 1, 1958 CARNIVAL ... (Con't from Page I) 1260 Main St. BRIDGEPORT Ethical Pharmacy Tel.

After three weeks, the intramurals have instilled a new sort of spirit on the fields of Fairfield. Every captain wants his charges to win the football or volleyball league titles and have their names put on the neW trophy to be placed in the new gym. In the senior football-volleybal leagues, little Mike Kelly's team is in the lead. His team is made up mostly of sophomores led by such standouts as Loughlin, McGraw and O'Keefe. With Mike chucking the passes and a good solid line, they could go all the way. One of the teams to watch is Garrity's with such standouts as McDonnald, Caragliano and Pannessa. The dark horse of the league is Perrine's team led by the one and only "Weasel" Reynolds. The standings for the football league are as follows: W L Pts.

In recent weeks the varsity ran into some very stiff competition and as a result they dropped their last three meets, thus giving them a record of 1-3. But against this first rate opposition the boys all improved in their times and they are by no means giving up the ship. They hope to bounce back with wins over New Britain and Adelphi in their next meet on Nov. 8. Jack Quinn has been the most consistent runner for the Stags, but Phil Gallagher, Frank Connor, and Captain McCarthy have been close on his heels in each meet. With the continued improvement of these men along with the fine efforts turned in by John Garrity, Pete Kujawski, Jay Simpson and Pete Hauser we're sure that it won't be long before the team returns to its winning ways.

The Fall !lrogram includes football. volley ball. golf and bowling. The important part of this program is not its comprehensiveness. but rather the large student participation. Football is the most po:"ular part of the program and there have been many exciting and rough games thus far. Fourteen teams are re:!,resented in the leagues. In the Senior division both Mike Kelly's team and Buzz Garrity's team are undefeated as we go to :!'ress. These teams are scheduled to meet in their next outing. so only one team will have a chance for an unblemished record. The "Stag" will carry a full report of this contest in the next issue. and will finish the season with its first Fairfield "allstar" team. Thirteen teams have qualified for the golf tournament and handicaps have been allotted. These are based on the qualifying scores which the participants registered in the qualifying rounds. which was won by Pete Low and John Downey. Mike Low and Tom Czarnota finished second in this first round. The bowlers have been busy scattering the maples at Kingsway Alleys. The favorites in this tournament thus far are Nick DePaola and Jim Betts. followed closely by the tough combination of Al Feauregard and Ernie Tarantino. Sam Mowad and Nick DePaola are the co-chairmen of the 15 team league. Credit for the intramural program has to go to the joint faculty' moderators. Rev. Charles Farrington. S.J.. and Father Augustus Caffrey. S.J. Special mention is also due to "Commissioner" Creed who has done a ne job in handling the many complicated details that go with a full-scale intramural program. To all that have worked so hard that this program might be a success. we wish to extend our congratulations on a job well done. I That ball is going to feel its being rejected if they keep this up.

Jack Doyle, who previously had not run at all in high school, has been one of the bright spots on the squad. The fine steady running and high spirit of Lou Ockey, Mike Medley, Jack Lally, Tom Tierney, and Gary Ambert have made this a great team. Their next test will be on Nov. 8 when they run against New Britain and Adephi at New Britain. Since New Britain is expected to prove to be the freshmen's chief opponent for the C.T.C. championship, this meet should go a long way towards determining the winner. One thing we can be sure of, and that is that the squad will be giving it their best. The times for the freshman meet with B.C. were as follows: 1. Bill H?gan, B.C. 15:02. 2.
