Self-Censorship
Rule of ~Stevas
On Wednesday, November 12,
the Bellarmine Lecture series
was honored by the presence of
the famoed English author and
lecturer, Dr. Norman St. John­Stevas.
"Censorship should be
self imposed by the author, and
it should not be forced upon
him," was the argument Dr. St.
John-Stevas presented.
This central theme of the loec­turer
was then developed ac­cording
to its effects. If the
author fails to heed his personal
morals, then a censorship board
should be placed to check him,
stated the speaker. The primary
place of censorship, however, is
in the artist's own convictions

Most of us recall the very
controversial article concerning
last year's Mid-Winter Carnival
which was w l' itt e n by Mr.
Stokes. His able poen has also
written the main feature article
of the STAG-From This Corner
for the past year; he has several
future plans to add to the in­terest
of this section of the pa­per.
Fairfield University's Glee Club will present its
first concert, this year, on December 7 in Gonzaga
Auditorium at 3:00 p.m., with the Glee Club of St.
Joseph's College of West Hartford.
--------------<.) The Glee Club under its
able director, Mr. Simon Harak,
will present an interesting pro­gram
highlighted by a medley
from "The Music Man" especi­ally
arranged for them by Emile·
Cote. Included in this medley
are such numbers as "Seventy­Six
Trombones," "Lida Rose,"
and "Wells Fargo Wagon."
In this year's program the
club brings back its ever popu­lar
"Dry Bones" as well as
Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes
Forever" which was enthusi­astically
received during their
past season.
Always known in the past
for their unique interpretation
of Negro spirituals, the club this
year will present "Set Down
Servant" along with "De Cop­pah
Moon."
Romberg's "Wanting You"
from "The New Moon" and the
sparkling Russian dance song
"Dance My Comrades" round
out their first concert program.
This year the Campus Min­strels
will continue in their tra­ditional
presentation of good
music combined with the touch
of comedy in their singing of
the "Cider Song" and "Ballad
of Hurry Up and Wait."
The Bensonians will also be
on hand with a fine selection of
close harmony ballads.
The eighty members of the
St. Joseph's Glee Club directed
by Doctor Douglass Green will
join Fairfield in singing
D'Artaga's "Hail Mary" and
Schuman's "Holiday Song" to
close out the program.
This year's concert schedule
is highlighted by a Glee Club
Festival and Competition to be
held at the University of Scran­ton
on April 11 and 12. Compet­ing

The Bellarmine Debating Society of Fairfield Uni­versity
placed thirteenth out of twenty-five colleges
and universities at the intercollegiate Debate Tourna­ment
at Brown University held on November 14 and 15
at Providence, Rhode Island. Debaters at the tourna­ment
represented schools from all over the east coast;
participation in the tourney was by invitation.
-------------~~ Fairfield sent a two-man af­fimative
team and a two·man
noegative team; Rev. Hugo W.
Durst, S.J., also traveled to
Brown as a tournament judge.
Each team won and lost two
debates, bringing the total point
score to 588 as opposed to 693
for Barnard College, the win­ning
school.
Arthur Mannion '61 and David
Royston '61 debated the negative
for Fairfield on the National
Topic. (Resolvoed: That the fur­ther
development of nuclear
weapons should be prohibited
by international agreement.)
Their victories were scored over
Boston College and Georgetown
University. The affirmative was
argued by John F. X. Warburton
'61 and Geoffrey S t 0 k e s '61.
Good Counsel College and Mor­gan
State University of Balti­more
fell to defeat by Fairfield's
affirmative team. Morgan Stare
had held the lead in the tourn­ament
until the final round and
were labeled as "the team to
beat."

Well, here we go again. Several frosh· have asked ·that-I
write an article on drinking, sex, and college life (but, fellows,
this is a family newspaper). So, rather than write as I had
planned (a snappy treatise on social outgrowths of the Crusades),
I'll succumb to the demand. Here are some mild off-the-wall
comments on area girls and where to go with them.
College of New Rochelle: These girls are, in general, so
wholesome and "typical teen" that they seem to belong in an
Archie Andrews comic. They're nice enough but sweetness and
light get sickening after a while. Handiest places are Glen Cove
and The Barge. Should you find one of them that doesn't suffer
under bright lights, try the Chicken Box (no dancing).
Marymount: Good looking crop of dateable pseudo-sophisti­cates.
Several expensive-type Scotch drinkers; The Cabin is
handy and good. Avoid the Tea House like the Bubonic Plague.
Some go for Tappen Hill, but different reason. Girls must be
gotten in on time, but their curfew is reasonable on Saturday
night. v
Saint Vincent: Great for all you rock 'n' roll lovers. Biology
majors who like to talk shop are happy here, as are zoology
students who like to mix business with pleasure. Places in the
area are scarce, but The Duke's is friendly.
Good Counsel: Dances here are good, but end much too early
for any reasonable purposes. Buddy Vennedy's and Michael's
are close and good, but Vennedy's is not the place for Puritans.
Manhattanville: Be prepared to drop names left and right. If
you can take the effort to practice inane social chatter for the
first few dates, the general run of girls is well worth it. Places
to go in the area are numerous and fairly reasonable. The
Cobble Stone is slow aCt best) in bringing back the change. At
hints, the girls will become beer drinkers.
Townies: I said this was a family newspaper, and I meant it.

This issue of the STAG does not carry any coverage of the
dramat's work or a review of the play because the editor feels
that a discussion of the work of the crews without a review of
the play itself would be inappropriate at this date, and dead­lines
negated the publication of a review. We intend to devote
the space to the recognition that the work of the dramat deserves,

______----= :..- ~0 During the weeks before the
November 4th elections these
Young Dems gave the idea of
'positive action' a real meaning
by their telephoning, stamping
and mailing letters, ringing
doorbells to deliver Democratic
literature, providing rides to
and from the polls on election
day, and so many more things
that make for success in a cam­paign.
And in so doing they
helped two Fairfield University
graduates, Ed Caldwell and
John Relihan, to win in their
respective districts in Bridge­port;
and within the near fu-ture
these two men will be
taking their seats in the state
senate. This is the type of work
that the Young Dems performed
throughout Fairfield County. We
saw their positive action in
practice here during the time of
your mock elections in the form
of talks by U.S. Senator-elect
Tom Dodd and U.S. Representa­tive-
elect Don Irwin and the
campaign material that virtual­ly
blanketed the University.
Look around you; you prob­ably
know some of these men:
Bill Lavery, Walt Naedele, John
Guman, Jerry O'Leary, Vin
Carraflello, Geff Stokes, Bob
O'Neil, Roger CapoBianco, Ber­ney
Lockhart, Mike Buckmir,
Steve Habetz, Jim Grady. These
and others of the YD. are just
so many more reasons why
Fairfield University can be
proud of itself.
Campus Personality
By RAYMOND NALEWAJK
The Sodality, Student Council, Dramatic Society, Knights
of Columbus, and New Frontiers all carry the name of John
Redgate. The flood gates of his talents are always open when they
are needed. He is not only a worker doing his best; but a leader
leading the best of Fairfield. His senior class presidency at Fair­field
Prep to his future as a "platoon leader" in the Marines
exemplify his ability to take the leading post.
It's not activities for activities' sake for Jack, but it is a
matter of natural, personal interest, personal development, and a
desire to do something for Fairfield.
He is not the head of any organization right now. However,
his talents are being used in a more profitable way. Jack's abil­ity
to lead and his willingness to work make him more valuable
in the several organizations to which he belongs.
This spirited, friendly senior will leave Fairfield as a "miles
insignis."
The Rate of Profit Larger
In the Larger Business?
By PETER NEGRI
One of the most important functions which profit should
perform is to act as a natural selector, choosing for survival
those for those business units which best serve the public inter­est.
There are two questions which can be asked - here. One,
does capital earn the higher return when invested in large busi­ness
units or in small business units? Two, does the rate of
profit favor the particular size of enterprises which is best for
the economic welfare?
Before answering the above questions there are a couple of
'points which must be made clear. It cannot be assumed that
business profitability is a measure of productive efficiency, for
in some cases a high profif may be due to a more or less mono­pol~
tic position of a few companies. Also, when statistical sur­'
veys were taken on this subject, the records of business profit
were available for firms which have already met the test of
survival, at least for a certain length of time.
Without stating any statistical facts (found in BUSINESS
SIZE and THE PUBLIC INTEREST published by the NAM), the
conclusions reached will be sufficient.
In general it may be said that big business is neither more
nor less profitable than small business. Doesn't this destroy
any justification for big business? No, presumably there are
economic reasons for each firm to have assumed its present size.
The statistical examination indicates that there is no relationship
between the size and profitability of these existing firms. It
does not prove that any given firm's profits would not be affected
if it would either be reduced or increased in size. The con­clusion,
though it seems to deny any connection between size
and profitability. is perfectly consistent with the view that in
cases where large size is advantageous, large size has been
reached, and in cases where small size is most profitable, the
units tend to be small.
Both economic theory and common sense teach that if the
rate of return on both big and small businesses was not the
same, the investors would reinvest their capital in the unit mak­ingthe
most profit and the other business size would go out of
existence which, of course. is not so in our society.
Thus the conclusion that there is no systematic connection
between the size of business units and their profitability is one
of many arguments in support of the present system of determin­ing
the size of business units by private rather than government
decision.
The conclusion that large and small businesses are about
equally profitable shows an efficient functioning of the economic
system. There are no grounds for suspecting that large business
will grow at the expense of small business in the future, since
one is about as attractive a field for investment as the other.
The present division of the business structure as between large
and small units seems to be a reasonable approach to the situa­tion
most conducive to the general public interest. It neither
shields inefficiency nor permits monopolistic practices.

By BOB McCARTHY, '59
Just one question: "Is this a cross country meet. or Sadie Hawkins
Day in reverse?"
As this edition goes to press the frosh record reads
thus: 7 and 0 with none to go. During the past two
weeks the Little Stags had three meets, two of which
went right down to the wire before they were decided.
On Sat., Nov. 11 they traveled~~-------------
up to Ne~ Britain to m~et. the down our steep hills. But Coach

New Britain moved into an
early lead as the race begun
but as they neared the one mile
mark the Little Stags began to
move up. Barry was fighting for
the lead and his teammates were
coming fast. Our entire squad
finished before the Blue Devil's
fifth can crossed the line, and
before Adelphi's f 0 u l' t h man
completed the course. Dick Urso
was the first across the line for
New Britain, and seven seconds
later Fairfield's Jack Barry hit
the mark. Robert McCarthy and
Lou Ockey got fourth and fifth
respectively, while Mike Medley
took a seventh and Jack Doyle
a tenth. When the final count
was made the score of the meets,
scored as two dual meets, read
F.U. 28-N.B. 30 and F.b. 16­Adelphi
47.
Three days later the frosh
took to the rails on their home
grounds against one of New
York's best, St. John's. The
Johnnies were ready to toma­hawk
the Stags, but it ended up
just the other way around. In
one of the most thrilling races
ever seen here Tom Celandine
of St. John's just managed to
edge out John .Barry in a gruel­ing
battle that lasted through
the whole race. Barry kicked
with all that he had down the
final straightaway but he just
couldn't catch his opponent. Mc­Carthy
and Ockey took third
and fourth while St. John's took
fifth and sixth. Then Mike Med­ley
took a seventh and a John­nie
took eighth. Each team now
had four men across the finish
line and all eyes were glued to

Coach George Bisacca, Fair­field's
varsity basketball men­tor,
faces this year's rugged 23­game
schedule with six years of .
highly successful coaching for
the Prep behind him.
The father of "four and one
expe-eted" in private life is a
prominent Fairfield lawyer. A
native of Bridgeport, he attend­ed
Fairfield Prep before enter­'
ng Georgetown's Law School in
Washington. D.C., where he
played varsity ball as a guard.
The youthful coach, who
'Jlans to better last year's 12-9
record, leads his team through
two hours of rigorous practice
sessions at the Bridgeport Arm­ory
every afternoon. Amid this
bL'Sy schedule he still finds time
~o relax by playing a little bas­ketball
himself.
According to the coach, this
year's slate should be a rough
one, since most of the games
will be played on unfamiliar
boards. He plans to use no set
court style, adapting the team
to man-to-man or zone defenses
as the situation warrants it.

SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY
WITH
GIFTS from HOWLAlND'S
By LARRY LESSING
Approximately 150 student and faculty members witnessed
one of the most exciting sports events Fairfield will remember.
a gruelling. hard-fought contest between the undefeated titans
of the Intramural League. the "Garrity's" and the "Kelly·s".
After an hour of "rock and sock 'em" football. the unblemished
records of both clubs were only slightly jarred as the game ended
in a 0-0 tie.
The game was highlighted by the fine defensive play of both
clubs on the line as well as in the secondary. The hard charg­ing
lines forced the passer to hurry his heaves all afternoon. and
each defensive backgeld intercepted 6 passes. The Kelly's were
held to two first downs. a result of a pass interference call and
an offside penalty. while the Garrity's were only able to pick
up three via the air lanes.
Offensively it was almost all Garrity's squad. as they con­tinually
had possession in Kelly territory. Time and again
Garrity's "First Floor Chollies" threatened. only to be repulsed
by Kelly's "Stalwart Soph" defense. Paced by the passing of
Pete York. who completed 10 out of 36 passes. the Garrity's had
many scoring opportunities. Late in the second half. York hit
Tom Caragliano for what seemed to be the winning touchdown.
only to have the play called back on an offensive holding pen­alty.
A few plays later the last scoring opportunity was nulli­fied.
as Gene Purcell's interception of a Mike Kelly pass and
subsequent runback to the enemy four was cancelled because of
an offside penalty.
Mike McDonald. who grabbed five passes. and Tom Caragli­ano.
who caught four. were York's chief targets in this game.
Gerry O'Keefe and Bob Ahearn were Mike Kelly's favorites.
Defensively. both teams were just about equal. although a
slight edge must be given to the Sophs for their fierce line play.
Richie Loughlin and Joe Cannizaro were a fine addition to the
Little Ea.p·s backfield. The fierce Soph line hit so hard on one
play that both Joe Scanlon and Bart Panessa received injuries.
Although he continued to play. Bart's injury was later determin­ed
to be a greenleaf fracture in his ankle. On another play.
Sam Mowad received a bad sprain to his right wrist. Play was
very rough throughout the game and most members of both
teams received at least a slight memento of the afternoon.
Both teams backfields played heads up ball. Mike Kelly led
both squads with four interceptions. Pete Pistillo alertly grab­bed
three Kelly passes and led the Chollies in interceptions and
Gene Purcell gathered in two errant tosses. Bob Ahearn picked
off the other two York passes for the Sophs. whlie Pete himself
retaliated with one interception.
No individual could be picked out as the outstanding player.
as this game showed real teamwork and team play. It was a
fine example of the benefits to a school of a strong intramural
program that is backed up by solid student int~rest.
