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.

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.

Ziegler Selected To
Work With Marcellino
Paul R. 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.

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

of the year.

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

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.

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

help but feel a little down in
the mouth when you already
have a strike against you be­fore
you come to bat. That sea­son
we won one and lost five.
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

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.

on and not feel it. You can't

William Newland who confined
her remarks to the liturgy in
the home. From the Advent

the Jewish people as they
awaited the Christ child to a
puppet show to explain to her
children that Christ and not

Christmas, Mrs. Newland show­ed
us how she weaved the lit­urgy

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.

Charlie McCann, burned a hundred dollars worth of gas
in thirty-seven states this summer.
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

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.

In the lobby of Gonzaga Au­ditorium,
there is a work of art,
a veritable masterpiece. 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

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."

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,

I found the door locked. Not

I waded through the mass of

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.

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.

of cloying mass education. Per­haps
better answers could have
been given by different stud­ents,

these three elements as Fair­field's

But when a tea-house is

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

and peace. The g-eisha asks us
of our day's worries, and we

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

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

Intramural Football .
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.
Kelly 3 0 6
Garrity 2 0 4
Perrine 2 1 4
Coughlin 1 1 2
Shea 1 2 2

Coach Emil Garofalo's frosh hoop squad should
prove to be a strong one, according to a survey of its
members' high school backgrounds taken by a STAG
reporter.
The fourteen-man s qua d,<$>-------------­whose
geographic breakdown
includes nine New Yorkers,
three New Jerseyites, one Nut­megger
and one lone Rebel
from Chevy Chase, Maryland,
flashes an impressive array of
individual hoop awards and dis­tinguished
high school play.
The team rundown, ranked ac­cording
to geographic location,
follows:
NEW YORK: Bobbie Jenkins
made his claim to fame at St.
Francis Prep. The speedy' for­ward
played on Prep, CYO and
Boys' Club varsities. He was
named by New York sports
writers to the Journal Ameri­can,
Daily News and Tablet
All-City basketball squads and
honored as the Most Valuable
Player in the PAL (Poiice Ath­letic
League).
John Blouvelt is a forward
from Lynbrook, Long Island.
John played ball for Lynbrook
High and in the City League.
Dan Browne, a lanky center
from Brooklyn, N.Y., was a
four-year man for Xavier High
in New York. He also played
in CYO competition.
Joe Gibbons, a Mt. St. Mich­ael's
forward, lives in Mt. Vern­on,
N.Y. "Red" played in the
Mt. Vernon league and helped
his team to become the city
CYO champs.'
Jim Mooney was a co-captain
for the Stepinac High hoop
squad in New Rochelle, N.Y.
Holding down the guard slot,
Jim also competed in CYO play
for St. Catherine's in Pelham,
N.Y., and in Recreation Depart­ment
activities.

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.

BOSTON COLLEGE FROSH
SADDENED BY OUR STAGS
One of the most edifying improvements of the last few years
is the growth of a strong and com:!,rehensive intramural pro­gram.
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.

with an injury but he is expect­ed
to be back in action any day
now. 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.
