Vol. XI - NO.2 Published by Students of Fairfield University, Fairfield, Conn. October 23, 1959
Tom Ryan Wins
Council Election
-------------~1 The idea was first presented
to the Student Council last May
and the job of organizing such
a society was given to Senior
John Crane as chairman of the
Student Activities Committee.
John took the opportunity this
past summer to investigate the
constitutions and workings of
similar organizations at various
other colleges. The present
Constitution drawn up" by' Mr.
Crane is a compilation of the
best ideas' and regulations of
those constitutions which he
studied, and one which he
thought best suited Fairfield.
The membership of The Cardinal
Key Society will be composed
of thirty voting members
with voice but without voting
privileges. The voting members
shall consist of 19 Seniors, 8
Juniors and 3 Sophomores.
Those members without votes
will be the President of the
Student Council and the Senior
and Junior Class Presidents,
Prospective members will be
accepted into the Society after
gaining the favorable vote of
the members of the Society. All
offices will be composed of seniors,
and anyone voted in for
membership cannot be reqloved
except for failure to fulfill
the function of a member.
The actual functions to be
carried on by the Society include
the sponsorship of athletic
rallies, the welcoming of
any dignitaries visiting Fairfield;
the checking of Student
Assessment cards at athletic
events and the undertaking of
the important Freshman Orientation
Weekend.
As of this printing the Constitution
has been approved by
The Very Rev. James E. FitzGerald,
S.J., and has been submitted
to the Student Council
for its approval.
The selection of the initial
members of the Society will be
in the hands of the present Student
Council since they are the
representatives of the student
body.
The requirements for nomination
to the Society include a

faculty and a prominent certified
public accountant .The fast
approaching tax return season
will be the topic under discussion
and the general public will
be invited to attend along with
the faculty and students of the
University. The tentative date
is for sometime during the first
week of January.
The Business Club has also
undertaken a novel project
here at Fairfield. It intends to
incorporate its activities with
the purpose of being free to
purchase stocks on the various
exchanges. Money for the purchasing
of these stocks will be
raised by raffles and other such
methods.

Tentativ,e C,o!nstitution for Key
S'ociety Read to Student Coun1cil
The Student Council is at present planning the
inauguration of a Cardinal Key Society here at Fairfield.
Quoting from its tentative constitution, its purpose
shall be: "to foster devotion to Fairfield University
by directing and sponsoring extra-curricular activities;
by planning and conducting public manifestations
of school spirit; by the effort of the members to conduct
themselves, at all times, in a manner proper to Fairfield
University men; by our active effort to encourage
this attitude in our fellow. students; by these activities
to further the interests of the student body in the affairs
of their college life."

POLITICSMANSHIP
ARTICLES
Recently I have been approached by men from various
activities on campus in regards to news stories about their
organization. The method of procedure is usually to corner one
of the editors and demand publication. As you can readily
im,agine. with nothing to remind us of this meeting. we forget
about it easily and thus more enemies are made.
To stem this tide of animosity. we will now tell you of the
proper channels taken in regards to a news story. A slip of
paper with the name of the club and the "gist" of the. story
behind it. is slipped under the newspaper's door. Thus we now
have a reminder and will not forget about this "world shaking"
news story.
Since the opening of the gymnasium. Fairfield has held a
few functions which have proven to be some of the most successful
events to take place in school history and have received
many compliments as to the convenience it affords the student
body. Lately. however. these compliments seem to have been
just talk and nothing else.
During the past week. the student body has been denied the
privilege of taking part in any afternoon activities in this building
due to some infractions of the rules already incurred during
this. the infant stages of the "pride of the campus." The usual
"scuUlebuU" has been heard as to why the administration made
such a move. Some said that they (the administration) don't
want the students to congregate and "dirty up" the gym. Others
have been heard to say that we will not be allowed to enter
"Shangri La" until the "ribbon" is taken off before the first game.
Well. after checking around. this seems to be the course of
act·ion that will be taken if beUer aUitude and care is not taken
by the proverbial athletes of Fairfield University in this building.
Sneakers must be carried to and from the gymnasium so as not
to pick up abrasive particles on the way to the gym. If thestudents
follow this recommendation. they will not be deprived
at any other time of the privilege for which they have waited
so long.
GYMNASIUM
Now that election time is coming around again and interest
in politics and issues at hand is at its peak. it might be well to
throw in a plug for our own campus chapters of the Young
Republicans and Democrats. Today's America seems to be filled
with people who are more politically conscious than ever before,
but yet classify themselves as non-partisan. To me this is the
stand of a person who takes the easy way out, he has never
given 'partisanship any intelligent thought as to its value in
forming beUer government. These middle of the roaders have
been tagged with the name of "Mug-Wumps." defined by
one professor as people who have their Mugs on one side of the
fence and their wumps on the other. and certainly live up to
the definition. There are. of course. those who use such a position
to add to their position and power. but these are few and
far between. '
Our Government is based on a two party system and this
is the way it should be. There isn't much room for the nonpartisans.
If everyone joined a party and supported it there would be
a much greater competition between the two parties than now
e~ists. This competition would be for the beUerment of our
government.
Now is the time to start making intelligent judgments. which
will help you choose the party to which you will belong after
college. Here at Fairfield the opportunity is being offered to get
a good look at the respective parties. Both are very active for
college chapters. especially at this time of the year. Both offer
political speakers. a chance fo aUend local meetings. and work
election campaigns. and also the opportunity to see. "what goes
on in· city hall." Politics is interesting for those who study it
and exciting for those who support a political party.

To the Editor:
In the previous issue of The
Stag there was a great deal of
controversy stirred up on the
question of N.F.C.C.S. and Fairfield's
part in this organization.
The problem of the national
dues increase and our dropping
from the national, t<iking the
limelight. I would like to emphasize
just one aspect of the
problem, what would happen if
Fairfield dropped from N.F.?
Because you and I are essentially
egotists and want our
opinions heard, we go to N.F.
as the only organ by which a
Catholic College man can effectively
transmit his ideas to
his society. In the particular,
when our "ivy walled friends"

Inside Fred Abbate Or, The Rise
And Fall Of The Roamin' Reporter
By FRED ABBATE
(First in a series of one)
Fall is in the air. As I look at the landscape about me I
find that not only have the leaves donned autumnal dress, but
so has the Police Force. I have yet to see a leaf, however, pasting
a ticket on someone's forehead for loitering. Nor do our
cotyledenous friends make such preparations as laying in a supply
of ballpoint pens that will write under snowflakes. Never
have so few done so much to so many!
Strictly off the cuff, a Student Council representative confided
that the Council is better equipped and qualified to elect
its officers than any old musty student body. The Resident
Council? Well, that's different. They're a smaller group, and
they're ... they're ... smaller! The Student Council is a representative
body. Why aren't there any freshmen on It? Well,
they haven't been elected yet! (And anyway - they're smaller.)
To be serious for a paragraph, an astounding number of
people have not paid their Student Assessment Tax. :Whether
or not you believe in the Council's right to impose a dIrect tax
is not the issue. The fact is that you can't vote unless you're a
card-carrying comrade. For those of you who don't think voting
is such a privilege (and to say that it's a right we fought
and died for would be a lie, because. the last bit of blood that
was shed on campus was the product of a finger caught in a
pencil sharpener), check the other benefits on the back of the
card. No, "The Barge" is not one of the places that gives
reductions.
Speaking of debating societies (plug, plug), the Bellarmine
group is planning a big year. John Warburton & Co. are out
to beat any existing record. And they're going to do it without
any outside help! (They didn't plan. it that way, but·that's the
wayjt goes. You know, try as one may, you can't spend records.)
Overheard in the Cafeteria: "So what if Leif Ericsson really
did beat him to it - everybody else has it off" Cheer up, son.
Next year we're running according to the Norse calendar, and
Erzblatz 3 is a free day. There is one school which claims, however,
that the real date of discovery was Erzblatz 5. These people
are troublemakers.
While I was in Alaska this summer, a United States citizen
came up to me and said, "Oh, you go to Fairfield! You're the
people who hate Albertus Magnus College, aren't you?"
As I was saying - fall is in the air . . .

Meet Dino Genga, individual, scholar, and Knight.
This affable senior hails from Springfield, Mass., where his
blonde, brushed up crew cut can be seen behind the wheel of a
bio- black Cadillac. the l<imeusine of the "Springfield Mobsters."
" Dino is a co~mon figure on the Dean's list and is now a
candidate for the senior Honor Society. A BBA man with an
Industrial Management major, he is now awaiting final word
from the Harvard Business School, where he hopes to be the
second Fairfield man to be accepted in the school's history.
Currently associate editor of the Manor, a member of the
Bay State Area Club, the Aquinas Academy, the Canisius Academy,
and the Vets Club, Dino was just as active in his undergrad
days. He has been Vice Chairman of the Forensics Committee
of N.F., Student Council treasurer for the '58-'59 term, Financial
Chairman of the Junior Weekend and a Knight.
To the Knights of Columbus, Dino has donated a great deal
of his time. A Knight since he came to Fairfield, he was Deputy
Grand Knight in his sophomore year, Grand Knight in his
junior year, and is now a trustee of the Ignatian Council. It was
Dino who originated the K. of C. basketball trophy for the Most
Valuable Player as chosen by the team. A great many of the
Council's ideas and activities came from this hard-wroking
senior.
So, for his work, talent, and drive, the Stag salutes Dino
Genga.

THE STAG
A New 'New Frontiers'
(And Some Invective)
By JOHN F. X. WARBURTON
If you were asked, by some
important dignitary (after he
had finished delivering a contemporary
and stirring talk at
the Bellarmine Lecture), what
aspect of Fairfield University
best represents the thinking
and achievements of all the departments
of the University,
would you answer the Cardinal
Key Society? No, neither would
this commentator. The best
answer would be that organization
which aims to this end as
a direct purpose. (And I am not
t~lking about the Student Council
- at least not now.) The
answer should be 'New Frontiers."
In talking about this
now tri-anunal magazine, it is
important to remember that
"New Frontiers is not a literary
magazine." A broader scope of
interest is here valuable and
demanded by this, the official
university publication. The combination
attempted is one of
scope and selectivity. It is "not
the mere idiom of the English
department." In a positive and
more poetic vein, the purpose
of the magazine is to furnish "a
tongue for the thoughts and
loves that be in the minds and
hearts of Fairfield men." To
cease from paraphrasing and
quoting old editorials from New
Frontiers, let· us dwell, briefly,
on a historical view of the publication.
In the past (and we
hope it will ;continue), New
Frontiers has been assuming
more and more the role of a
crusader (oh, pardon the nasty
inference) in the fields of
thought and expression. A great
deal of that progress may be
attributed to the stimulating
moderation of Rev. J. L. Bonn,
S.J. In re-reading old copies of
the magazine, one cannot help
but notice the growth' and increase
in strength of the field
of poetry. Now. at Fairfield. is
that amazin':( ~ or a sign· of
things to come? If we were asked
to select a single piece of
work in the whole history (eight
issues) of New Frontiers as a
favorite, it would undoubtedlv
be "The White Feet of Debo;ah"
by F. X. Mathews. (And
thus we mention it.) It is contained
in volume 2, number 1.
Negatively, we must admit that
occasionally our academics has
shown through other articles.
But the reason for treating
this publication now is that
New Frontiers has a change in
policy designed to expand and
improve the publication. And
this is news. From now on.. the
contributors may be anyone
with the desire to write an
article. Thus, this massive group
now includes undergraduates,
faculty, friends at other colleges,
mothers, fathers, little
brothers, and that cultured girlfriend
you've been hiding all
these years. Material (all fields
of study plus creative things)
should be submitted to the New
Frontiers . office in Gonzaga
Hall, one of the editors, or to
Father Bonn. New Frontiers
goes big time! The space is now
there for the creative, the informative,
the controversial.
Only the supply of material remains
to be received. So why
don't you write that article? Is
it necessary that a group of
bohemians do all the writing?
New Frontiers awaits your copy

anxiously, the soon-to-be~

AN IDLE MIND
(While Joe Monahan is in Stockholm. interviewing Swedish
film maker Ingmar Bergman, in preparation for a feature
article about the Scandinavian's famous photoplays. he has
turned over his column to a number of friends to do "guest
"shots", as it were. We are pleased to bring you. then, a
column of society notes from all over by that well-known
socialite and post-deb. Mrs. Marne Dennis Burnside.-Ed.)
Moscow, October 10th
Darlings: I can't tell you how absolutely thrilled I was to be
invited to do this column for that dear young man, Joe Moynihan
- he's president of your Symphony Orchestra, isn't he? I
do remember him telling me how wonderful your school was,
and all, at one of Elsa's cocktail parties last spring - or was it
at the Duchesses - poor dear, she always ge~s soaked s6 terribly
for caviar at those depressing little delicatessens on Lexington
Avnue, I must send her some from here. But I'm getting away
from the subject, aren't I? Fairfield University sounds absolutely
divine, and in such lovely country. (Well ,at least it's a
good twenty miles to Darien, thank God.)
I haven't been there myself, but Joe tells me it's run by
those dear Jesuit Fathers - so comforting! They were so kind
to me last year at their Universities in Tokyo and Bagh~ad.
They must have a charming ivy-colored campus there in the
dear suburbs. My dear friend, Monsignor Malarky - who's
travelling with me as chaplain and secretly smuggling muchneeded
altar wine into Russia (dear man!) - always has a kind
word or two for the Jesuits whenever we mention them.
Well, you must be dying to hear all about my trip. (You'd
better be, darlings, because old Marne is not going to tell you
how she liked "North by Northwest.") Last night the Monsignor
and I visited the Bolshoi Ballet - too, too, frightfully grand!
And how I admire these Russian women, so brave. Snow on
the ground already, but they refuse to use those minks until
the season begins, now isn't that marvelous? And they look so
nonchalant standing there in line, waiting to look in the window
of GUM. Personally I prefer Bergdoff's for clothes, and Sloane's
for the knick-knacks; but if you're the fringy-lampshade type,
GUM is the place for you.
But darlings, I'm no expert on Russia yet. Wait 'til I've
been here for another two days. I just flew in directly from
Rome - ten minute private audience with His Holiness, you
know. Such humility! And such a contrast to that beastly party
at Elsa's at Nice. Wouldn't you know it: Maria Callas was there
crying on Elsa's voluminous bosom, as usual. Disgusting! Someone
made a remark about did the Greek Line offer her a luxury
cruise to the Golden Fleece. (Wish it had been me.) You should
have seen the feathers fly. I thought we were going to have
the "Mad Scene" from "Lucia" then and there.
Oh and my dears. I wish you could have been with me in
London last week, ~ith the 'Larry Oliviers. They gave an
enormous party at Clarictge's, champagne and stuff, don't you
know; and of course, the Princess Margaret was there and made
another grand faux pas. Shame; but it's been hushed up, of
course, so don't ask me how Larry lost those two front teeth!
But Vivien was very understanding: she's left him, for only two
weeks this time. What fun!
I'm looking forward to a grand soiree this week-end at the
Kruschev's winter home in the Urals. I hel'ir it's too, too
Russian to be true. Sort of post-War and Peace, but early-Dr.
Zhivago atmosphere, they say. Of course, I'm practicing my
Russian: everyday phrases, like "please pass the Vodka," "confidentially
