Stags Trip VB, Take League, Tourney Tonite! Vel. XI - No.7 Published by Students of Fairfield University, Fairfield, Conn. March 4th, 1960 New Editors Named FR. CAFFREY TAKES VOWS Last month, Rev. Augustine J. Caffrey, S.J., made his final vows in the Society of Jesus. The ceremony took place on the main altar of Bellarmine Hall. Father Caffrey e n tel' e d the Order in 1943 ,and after studying Philosophy and Theology at Weston College, he taught for three years at Fairfield Prep. Father was ordained at Weston in 1954. Following a year of theological studies at Weston and a year of, teaching at Boston College, he served his tertianship at Pomfort, Conn. In 1957 Father Caffrey came to Fairfield University to serve as Assistant Dean of Resident Students. PresE}ntly, he is an Assistant Professor of Theology. In manner of explanation, when a novice takes his first vows, as did Father Caffrey in 1945, they are perpetual 'ones and bind him to the Society of Jesus. It is only after fifteen additional years of study and testing that the Society accepts the individual. The final vows which Father took indicates that the Order finally binds itself to him. Joe Cannizzaro, president of the Junior Class, has announced the appointment of Arthur James Mannion, Jr., as Editorin- Chief for the yearbook of 1961. Mr. Mannion, previously connected with THE STAG, will assume his office on THE MANOR of '61 in September. From the editor of NEW FRONTIERS, Joseph Annunziata, comes word that Geoffrey Stokes has been elected next year's editor-in-chief of th~ magazine. Mr, Stokes' will assume full editorial responsibilities in September. Plans Complete For Glee Club Festival Fr. Healy Takes No Definite Stand On Controversial Loyalty Oath Issue Brunner Announces Senior Week Plans The recent refusal of a few well known colleges and universities to participate in the National Defense Loan Act's program because of its controversial loyalty oath has made much news and more noise. Since Fairfield takes part in this program, and as it is a collegiate issue of national importance, the Stag has interviewed Rev. William Healy, S.J., on the policy of the university in regard to the loans. Father Healy stated that Fairfield believes in leaving the question of signing the oath, and hence applying for the loans, up to the individual student. By participating in the program, Fairfield thus makes available to its students the allocated funds. Those desiring the government aid may apply for it (and sign the oath); any student resenting the oath need simply not apply. In eommenting on the proposed "Kennedy Revision" eliminating the loyalty oath, Father Healy ventured that while the oath is morally justifia-ble, it would perhaps be wise to remove it, as it has hampered the administration of the program. In the three semesters that the act has been in effect, ninetyone Fairfield students have received loans averaging approximately $350. Throughout this period, the signing of the loyalty oath has not posed a problem on this campus. The Rev. William J. Kenealy, S.J., will speak in Gonzaga Auditorium TODAY, March 4th, at 11 A.M. His subject will be "Catholicism and Liberalism." This noted Bellarmine Lecture At 11 AM Today Fairfield will be the :host for the Second Annual Catholic Intercollegiate Glee Club Festival and competition on April 9th and 10th of this year. This year's festival, under the chairmanship of Rev. John P. Murray, S.J., and Mr. Simon Harak, is being termed "the most spectacular musical event of its size ever held in Southern New England." Besides the definite community attraction, the festival will also have regional interest with nine Catholic colleges representing the northeastern states.

NOTES AND VOTES Among the season's finer things on TV are some of the shows seen, not on the networks, but on two of New York's independent outlets. WNTA-TV, channel 13, has led the parade of programming with such shows as "The Play of the Week," "Open End," and "Reading Out Loud." The first-mentioned above, "The Play of the Week," presents stars of the magnitude of Helen Hayes, Susan Strasberg, Dane Clark, Hume Cronyn, Nancy Wickwire, and Nina Foche in plays which compare favorably to the better off-Broadway offerings, and stand head and shoulders over the usual TV fare. Although the dialogue and situations are sometimes more frank than we are accustomed to on TV, the dignity, skill, and theatre in the productions tilt the balance favorably. "Open End," another of the Susskind-inspired brain-children is a discussion program that starts late at night and continue~ until all are exhausted. One of its finer efforts featured John ~ogley, Bill Buckley, and David Reisman. It is always perceptIve, often funny, and usually entertaining. "Reading Out Loud" is a program that pretends it is for children. It certainly won't do them any harm, but the first two 'offerings were choice adult viewing too. The idea is very simple: someone, thusfar Archibald MacLeish and Richard Boone (Pallidin), is handed a book, so far Walter DeLaMare and Bret Harte, from which he reads aloud for half an hour. It doesn't hurt hardly at all. A final plaudit goes to Channel 9 for presenting "Playboy's ~enthouse." This show, conceived and decorated by the magazme of the same name, is, very simply, a party. A group of people get together around a few drinks to talk and maybe entertain one another. Among those appearing on the series so far have been Ella Fitzgerald, Nat Cole, Pete Seeger, Stan Kenton, Dinah Washington, Geoffrey Holder, and Ahmad Jamal. It's ver~ pleasant, very relaxed (they use real liquor), and, unless you ve been m the dorm for just too long, a perfect show for a Saturday night. . What is wrong with the debate team? Why aren't they more active? These questions a.re commonly being asked by both the students and members of the debating society. In order to try and answer these ques'tions and bring to light the information, a recent interview was held in which both Father Nickerson, S.J., the club moderator and Father Henry Murphy, S.J., the assistant moderator were questioned. Among the questions asked were the following: "Is there any basis to the ruinor that lack of funds 's putting debating out of business at Fairfield University? How much and to what quality is the support of the student body?" The following is a sum° nery of the interesting replies received. It seems that there has been a continuous complaint that the lack of funds has been the reason for the lack of activity on the Dart of the BeUarmine Debating Society. "This is not true," according to Father Nickerson. "The main reason the team hasn't received proper funds is that they have not taken the proper means or gone through proper channels." At ~he first meeting of the club this year, Father Murphy explicitly stated that he was willing to go to bat for the society. He said he would be ha.ppy to act as a mediator for the club in obtain; ng these funds. He also asked Eor a written list of the club's planned debates and members of the club. Yet, to this day he had never been granted his requests or ever even again approached. To put it bluntly, his suggestions and opinions have been evidently ignored. Another example in which Father Nickerson was involved concerning appropriating funds occurred about two weeks ago. At the very last minute, he was approached ·and told the club would like funds in order to go to Harvard. Even at this late date, Father offered to see what he could do and asked to have a list of expenses put under his door by supper. Was there a list there? No, in fact it wasn't there until much later. So thus, if the team lacks proper funds, the question remains, "How hard have they tried to get them?" As for the second question asked concerning the lack of student support it seems that this reply also leads back to the lack of organization. Unlike many activities, the Debating Society failed to do any extensive publicity. They never made any concrete attempt in order to increase their membership. Thus, maybe it is true that the club lacks student support. But I again you may ask how can students support an activity that they don't even know exists? "It is the job of the faculty I to publicize student-run activities." Thus in conclusion one might I say that the main problem with the Debating Society seems to be lack of organization. There seems to be an iron wall between the students and the club and between the club and the moderative board. The club (Continued on Page 8) L.P. JFXW J.

Unfortunately, the battle for men's m:nds is being waged in Jakarta, Havana, and other areas qu:te remote from Moscow's s'ide streets. Russia is pur sui n g a tough, cruel, but purposeful :.deology; America a platitudinous, security seeking goal, reeking with a sense of completion. Treating Communism as a bluff is to ignore its fundamental precepts. It is further dangerous in its retardation of the creative and contributive effort needed to revitalize our stagnating appreciation of democracy. Letters ••• Two weeks ago the Young Republican Club sponsored movies of, and a lecture on Russia by Mr. Richard Robertson. Such lectures are always good in that they stimulate thought on the subjects involved. As the Stag was stimulated only to the extent of a one sentence comment, I would like to rebutt Mr. Robertson's contenLons at a greater length. He was asked by a woman auditor: "Why should we Americans, a God-fearing country of high moral condUct, fear the term and concept of Communism?" He replied: "I agree with you completely as I believe Russia to be the biggest bluff in the history of mankind." The question he agrees with reveals a lamentable ignorance of present symptoms of American moral decay: the selling of the airwaves to record companies, a Sherman Adams eulogized as a tragic hero, sex as a "legitimate" business expe.nse, and the concession of the na- Editorials And we are in a head-bowed, humble mood. Dear Miss Burke, forgive us. We didn't mean to say you attend Manhattanville. Really, we know you dwell at Marymount. It's just that we are occasionally bumblesome. STAG RIPS STUDENT APATHY "We are amazed, and thus long have we stood ..." These immortal words of Shakespeare certainly well apply to the Bellarmine Lecture Series Committee. Constant grumblings have been heard about the ,campus as to the lack of speakers that have appeared here. Yet, when lecturers do appear, the number of invited guests from nearby communities constantly outweighs the number from the student body. Since the purpose of the Bellarmine Lecture Series is to< complement the knowledge that the student has already gained in the classroom it only follows that the enterprising student should go out of his way to attend them. As it now stands, the citizens are deriving greater benefits from the series than the students when, in all fairness, its opposite should hold true. It is hoped that the appreciation for these lectures by the student body will be manifested by greater attendance in the future. Nor are we in an altruistic mood. Isn't it about time the members of the student body started to have their say in the running and decisions of the campus unit of NFCCS? The primary target of this federation is each and every stndent on campus. Why are we allowing a small, sealed group to determine the fate of our participation in the federation? Students, arise! NFCCS is your organization and not the social club of a superior clique. The delegates and chairman are your representatives. Make sure they act as such! Lest it be thought that we are on so supposedly-abstract a plane, who would bring your attention the strange occurrence that, in regard to last issue's editorial on cheating, the student body and the faculty are in such perfect agreement or ignorance of it that not one letter to the editor has been received by THE STAG on the topic or the views expressed. :;: * :}: Debate ITeam THREE THOUGHTS; ONE BUMBLE Blasted As Disorganized Reminded by the sight of purple cloth and fasting practices, we would dwell, too briefly, on sea son of Lent. It seems to us that underlying the regulations of the Church, the lamentation of past evils and the stirring-anew resolutions lies an essential practice of Christianity-self sacrifice. Yet there is something deeper, closer to Christ in the motivation and foundation of this spirit and practice of sacrifice. And that is love. Among the obligations of love-the centering of one's interests in another-there is encountered the impossibility of indifference to the suffering of the rest of humanity. The unfortunate fact about the word humanity is that it seems to be a sweeping generalization; whereas, to the contrary, it is one of the most particularized and personal nouns in the language, any language. Away, semanticists! Would it not, we wonder, be a marvelous occurrence, if this nation of ours could' adopt the love that moves the, season of Lent, that realization of what is doctrinally called the Mystical Body? The United States of America and its citizens are in a constant struggle with Russian missiles, communist infiltration of other nations, with the dignity of man and the necessity of authority, with public and private morality. But love, where has it gone? Does America, while mouthing the name of God and justice, consider itself so far above the practice of a Lent? In short, we have become an unchristian country. Isn't it a pity? :;: * * Page Three By MIKE FRATANTUNO MOSIe NOTES As I mentioned last issue, the coming of spring is a time to look into the future, and so we, shall. I call them Faro's Future Fantasies for Fairfield, and they have to do with the changes that the University will undergo to make life a bit more pleasant (?) for the student: 1) The first of these will be paved sidewalks to Xavier, probably made of synthetic cement, since it will no doubt have been invented by that time ... 2) You will see plastic bubbles covering these new sidewalks, these being utilized to keep out snow, rain, hit & run drivers, etc. I had been thinking of a tunnel from dorm to classroom building, but then I heard about the huge Jesuit oil well underneath the University grounds ... 3) You will see the robot check-in attendant, with. the builtin drunkometer testing unit, fingerprint machine, and recorded wry comments for all occasions . . . 4) You will see un-bent silverware made by a process known as Proper Handling . . . 5) You will see meat-colored meat, made by a process commonly known as Green Spot Remover ... 6) You will see ice-cream machines that give you back your money if the machine is empty . . 7) You will see sod'a machines that don't pour the soda until the cup comes down . . . 8) You will see the automatic book store, which is open at regular hours each day on schedule . . . 9) You will see robot television proctors for all final exams, which relay a picture and sound to a main switchboard, and which burns the blue-book (and the naughty student) to a crisp, by means of a Strontium 90 beam ... 10) You will see either a more silent Jeep or a bicycle for the night watchman, who always parks under your window with the motor in supersonic idle in ambush for whoever he ambushes. As the school becomes increasingly more modern, old traditions will make way for new ones. You will have a huge television screen in your room, which will check you in, watch you study, and tell you when you may go to bed, among other things. By that time, the old Fairfield University Gym will have been torn down, and a new, modern field house built. There will be a platoon of ex-Marine Sergeants running the Kampus Kops; they will have taken over ancient Berchmann's' for KK headquarters, they will wear black uniforms, carry Lugers, and ride motorcycles., There may even conceivably be a big sign of some kind· at the entrance to the University on North Benson Rd., which would tell people where they are, and could not be blown over by a gust of wind. Some changes are already here: Senior privileges, on-campus basketball intramurals, more time and less class hours per week and an earlier start in Philosphy courses, etc. There will be even more changes that we will witness before we leave, and a great many more to come after that, so keep your eyes open . THE STAG has taken upon itself the adoption of a seal and Greek letters. Its president, Robert Monk, who did not wish to "go out on a limb," referred us to the treasurer for further information.' The treasurer gave us a picture of the club's finances which were in a very solvent condition. The Norwalk Area Club, headed by J ohnFitzgerald, has forty members and is' one of the smallest clubs in existence. It has sponsored, two stags and a Sports Night which featured films and a speech by a professional football player. Financially, the "Charlie Brown Club" has "peanuts" in its treasury at present. This fact was attributed to "rotten luck" and difficulty in obtaining a hall for so few members. However, it was asserted that while the club was not burning up the league its members wer~. "happy."

The Bay State Club, under the leadership of Ralph Burke, is composed of fifty-seven paying members. For the first semester its entire roster of social activities consisted of a Christmas Social. According to its president it has been hampered by a lack of funds. This may account, in part, for the scarcity of social activities, or vice versa. The Metropolitan Club of New York with 130 dues paying members ranks as the largest of all the Area Clubs. For the first semester its social activities were as follows: a banquet for incoming freshmen, two stags, a Thanksgiving and a Christmas dance.

Society's First Activities March 4th, 1960 The following three interviews, with the Senior Delegate of Fairfield University's campus unit, the President of the Student Council and the President of the New England Region of NFCCS, were procured in order to attempt to present to our readers a more exacting and realistic picture of what NFCCS, the National Federation of Catholic College Students, means to this campus.

THE STAG SCIENCE WOItLDS INFCCS Interviews Indicate Sclloor's Possible SecessioIl Starting with this issue, there will be (if all goes well) an article on modern advances in science, written in a general and non-technical manner. The subject matter of the articles will rotate between the fields of biology, chemistry, and physics. This first article will be devoted to science here at Fairfield, and I think the most profitable and enlightening point of view to take for this sketch would be that of science on a purely student-motivated basis'. This motivation has led to the formation of three clubs on campus, each limited to a narrower plane of science's wide dimension: the Mendel Club to the life sciences; the MathPhysics Club to the physical and mathematical sciences; the Chemistry Club to the chemical sciences. Right at the start it should be said that these clubs (a word which conjures up unfortunate connotations) are not the big brothers of high-school "clubs" featuring cookbook science. Each group is a unit of a national and highly respected organization: the Math-Phys,ics Club is a student section of the American Institute of Physics; the Chemistry Club is an affiliate of the American Chemical Society; the Mendel Club is one link in a chain of Mendel Clubs appearing in every Catholic college offering a major in biology. You can see that the calibre of the clubs can be judged by the company they keep. The three clubs, quite naturally, draw the lion's share of their membership from the natural science majors, at Fairfield. But the clubs are open to any student who is really interested in what they do and in the subject matter they treat. What do the clubs do? First of all, they hold meetings, once every two weeks on the average. The general format of the meetings is much the same in each club. At Math-Physics Club meetings, films of college science calibre are shown. The Mendel Club offers lectures by physicians, pathologists, biologists. Papers on student projects are read to members of the Chemistry Club. In addition to their day meetings, the MathPhysics Club (the largest science- orientated club on campus) holds occasional meetings in the evening to which guest lecturers are invited. Recently, Lieut. Douglas de Cluitt, an electrical engineer from the Nike base, lectured on the makeup of our rocket defense system. Secondly, each club publishes a magazine. The Mendel Club offers THE NUCLEUS twice a semester; the Chemistry Club's CONDENSER appears once a semester; and S100n to make its debut is SCIENTIA a quarterly MathPhysics Club journal which in outside appearance and (its staff promises) interior quality, will resemble the literary magazine on campus. Because of their interest in different aspects of science the three clubs usually wend their own individual ways. But in any important project they join forces. An example of such inter-cooperation is the joint sponsorship by the clubs (together with NFCCS) of a Natural Science Workshop here at Fairfield in the early part of April, to which neighboring (Continued on Page 9) asleep. A committee headed by senior Peter Grimes has the task of separating the society's by-laws and constitution, with appropriate revision of each. One immediate result of the project will be an absence of ambiguity and equivocation. Note specifically, greater decisive power will be given to the chairman of the group, the election procedure will be changed somewhat with the possible creation of an election committee to narrow down the number of candidates, and two new senior memberships will be initiated (bringing the number to 16). Some unnecessary clauses, will definitely be stricken from the laws, for example that phrase which specifies that Key meet' ngs are to be held in secret. Crone feels that since the organization exists for the students, they should always know what's going on. For its financial life, the Key is considering two courses of action. In the future it might be supported by the Administration directly, or might become an independent with its own means of support, namely by throwing several dances and the like. In any case, the chances that it will remain under the wing of the Student Council are ~rowing dim. On the Sunday before Commencement the senior members will be given official Cardinal Key pins, and an emblem to be worn on blazers is also being considered. John Crane had more to say (Continued on Page 9) tion in the electric furnaces to (he final polishing of the finshed product. The Eus:ness Club was form2.~ ly incorporated on February 15th. At that time the charter was acceuted by the State of Connecticut and the Business Club became a legal entity in itself, and sc:bject to all demands of a corporation such as yearly statements and reports. The majority of the work for this project was done by Mr. Joseph Gabriel, '61, with the aid of Mr. Stephen O'Brien of the business faculty. The club will now begin raising funds w:.th which to purchase stocks and various securities 011 the market. This new activity will add another facet to the many others which the organization runs in order to prepare the business student for a successful future in industry. In an interview with John Crane, chairman of the Cardinal Key Society here at Fairfield, the very short, yet impressive, history of the organization's achievements was reviewed along with its plans for the future. Mr. Crane (sick with the flu, incidentally- yet quite happy to release information) spoke like a man who couldn't wait to say his piece about what he knew, and quite justifiably so. Everything the Cardinal Key has undertaken since its beginning a few short months ago has worked out well. To say the least, the Key men have dispelled the notion that they are simply a group of glorified ushers for basketball games. The Heart Fund Drive launched in the Bridgeport area, for example, and the dedicq.tion of the Gymnasium were quite effective shows of cooperation. The bus trips to ball games played away were sponsored by the Key. and from now on it will be in charge of freshman Orientation Week. But the plans for future undertakings are really interesting, drawn to some extent from an interchange of ideas which took place at a recent Eastern Key Conference to which our organiza.tion sent two men. Sponsoring such things as a blood drive, a parent's weekend, and (get ready) a homecoming week will really make some members of the student body stand up and look again. Regarding its own welfare and security, the Key is hardly The newly incorporated Business Club of Fairfield University recently held two very interesting functions. The first was a dinner meeting at which Mr. Joseph Charlow, father of Joseph Charlow, Jr., '61, and an LB.M, specialist working at the Stanley Works in New Britain spoke on the increasing duties of LB.M. equipment in modern day history. The talk was very informative and the 35 members who attended derived much practical knowledge from his many examples and statistics. The second function was held under the auspices of the Industrial Management division. This activity comprised a tour of the Carpenter Steel plant in Br:dgeport at which the members had a chance to get a first hand v:ew of the steel making process from its blazing incep- March 4th, 1960 THE STAG Page Five S.A.M.

Formerly, contributions were limited to the University's undergraduates; now, however, articles are invited from "faculty members, graduate students, and writers outside the University, as well as from our own undergraduates." This, of course, has increased the volume of material received and therefore the quality of publication. Most notable in the Spring edition are a Guest Short Story by Professor Riley Hughes of the Georgetown English Department; fine critical evaluations of Samuel Beckett and Albert Camus by two of our undergraduates, Geoffrey Stokes and John Faulkner, respectively; a short story, "Alice" by Stokes; and an excellent art section consisting of black and white sketches by Bill Curley and Donald Preziozsi, members of the magazine's art staff.

UConn Grad Female Lead MARY ELLEN CARTER A Fairfield University Graduate School coed will play the role of Catherine Stockmann in the campus drama society's forthcoming production of An Enemy of the People. Miss Mary Ellen Carter, a Stratford resident and former "Miss Jenny Lind" of the 1956 Barnum Festival of Bridgeport, has gained most of her acting experience in musical comedies, put on by her Alma Mater, the University of Connecticut (Storrs, Conn.) and with the Polka Dot Playhouse in Stratford. Using her vocal talents, Miss Carter has sung with the orchestras of Les Elgard and Saulter Finnegan and the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra. She has appeared on television stations in New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island and is presently studying music with Robert Merrill's coach on Broadway. Two Roger Ludlowe High School seniors will be cast in the remaining female parts. Miss Sharon Salko will play Petra, Dr. Stockmann's daughter, while Miss Nancy Martin will be a villager. recent off-Broadway production was staged in a tiny theatre and the immediacy of audience and players was an electrifying experience." The conventional "four wall theatre" will be ignored as much as possible and every effort will be made to obtain the desired immediate audience contact. Employing the extended stage, abandoned by the Glee Club, which protrudes out into the audience, Stage Manager Hank O'Hagan hopes to achieve this. in one scene, in which Dr. Stockmann addresses a large crowd of townspeople, the actors planted throughout the audience will enter from the floor. Sums' up Fr. MUllin, "ideally speaking, we want the people part of the crowd." An actor in both amateur and semi-professional productions, Fr. Mullin also has numerous productions to his credit. While at Cheverus High School in Portland, Me., he directed Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance and Mikado, and Franz Werfel's Song of Bernadette. Boston College's presentations of Arsenic and Old Lace and Importance of Being Earnest were under his direction. Fr. Mullin was also assistant director to Walter Kerr at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., for one summer. By MICHAEL T. KIERNAN The bespectacled, black-clad director of the Drama Society's spring production, made his way through the maze of seemingly unorganized chairs and tables, sat down on the edge of the stage, his legs swinging and grinned' "Fire." Our first question of Fr. Laurence J. Mullin, S.J., concerned the theme of Gonzaga presentation (Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People.) While some critics seek an analogous parallel between Ibsen's Dr. Stockmann and Christ, who both came to bring the truth and suffered at the hands of the people for their refusal to compromise, Fr. Mullin prefers to follow the school which COIlsiders the character of Dr. Stockmann as an autobiographical one, the playwright speaking out to defend his earlier plays SO radical and avant garde that they earned for him the title "Father of the Modern Theatre." Fr. Mullin added that all of this would be explained in a prologue delivered by Rev. John W. Ryan, S.J. Explaining the change from Bridgeport's Notre Dame High School to the much smaller Gonzaga Auditorium, Fr. Mullin said, "For an effective production of a play of this sort, a small theatre is a necessity. The Staging Aims At Audience Contact March 4th, 1960 THE STAG Page Seven EDUCATION CLUB The members of the Education Club recently elected two new officers to fill vacant posts. Hank Pronovost was elected Recording Secretary and the office of Corresponding Secretary went to Cliff Marvin. In addition, Paul Slason was named editor-in-chief of the new Education Club newspaper, "The Educator." and Mike Oates and Jim Coffey were appointed as associate editors. The main function of this paper, which will make its first appearance in late March or early April, will be to incite interest in the club.. The editor, associate editors and committee chairmen will write articles for each issue on the proghess of the club and on various topics in the education field. "The Educator" will also invite guest writers, members or non-members of the club, to write articles for the paper. concentration on science leading to a medical degree upon completion. Both agreed that the traditional system of four years of liberal arts is the better preparation towards medical school, for a broad liberal education is just as important in that field as in any other field of life. Said Fr. Hutchinson, "It would be all right if you're looking on medicine as a trade but we are preparing a man to do a job. It verges on training rather than education. In a liberal arts program all courses work together towards a desirable end and separating the sciences from liberal arts isolates parts which should work together toward the proper development and education of a' man. Philosophy should be an essential part in training a doctor for treating men's ills, which today more than ever are ills of both body and soul."

Our interest is what will keep this series going. We can demonstrate this interest by attendance at the lectures and by bombarding the lecture board with suggestions. There have been no students assigned to the board itself, but all students can request speakers and suggest improvements. The suggestion can be made that those in charge of the lecture series do not necessarily have to obtain men who are very high in their fields or extremely well known. There are many fine speakers who are not as high priced as those who were mentioned. The students can enter into the picture in this respect by trying to find worthwhile speakers in their own home areas.

March 4th, 1960 THE STAG Page Nine Bobby makes his home in New York and saw his high school action for St. Francis Prep, where he was nominated for an All-City team in his senior year. As a freshman' at the Univers,ity he sparked his team to a 17 and 1 record, while compiling better than 18 points a game. This season, as a soph, Bobby has displayed some of the best ballhandling, shooting, and rebounding that Fairfield has ever seen. While standing only 5'9", he has brought down over 120 rebounds and scored well over 180 points in twenty games. Bob is a B.B.A. major and hopes to attain a prominent position in the business world after graduation. The other member of the combo, Harry Hyra, is well known at the' University and in the neighboring vicinity as one of the finest ballhandlers in Southern Connecticut. In '55, he saw action with Roger Ludlowe High School in Fairfield, as they conquered the New England crown. In '56 as a freshman, he was top scorer for a 15 and 2 team, averaging better than twenty points a game. Since that time, Harry has occupied a s,tarting berth on the Varsity squad and is presently serving as captain of the Stags. His combination of fine ballhandling and shooting rank him as one of Fairfield's best. Harry is a B.S.S. History major and a career of coaching and teaching looks promising in the future. It may take five men to compile a basketball team but it takes two strong cogs in a wellbalanced wheel to insure success. Thus the Fairfield ball club has the necessary requirements fora successful season in its two quarterbacks, Bobby Jenkins and Harry Hyra. Richie Davis Fred J. Abbate Bob Jenkins and Captain Harry Hyra Schedule Set For Courtless Netnlen Led by the amazing Dowd brothers, Denny and John, Fairfield's loaded tennis team hopes to improve on last year's nearperfect 9-1 record against its toughest opposition ever. The Dowds lost but one match between them all season, as the "59" Stag netmen had only a 3-6 loss to Yankee Conference Champion, Massachusetts, to marr a clean slate. In addition to U. Mass., this year's schedule includes two matches witli. rugged Amherst, and single bat tIe s with St. Peter's, Holy C l' 0 S sand U.B. New opponents Army and Fordham should also provide stern tests for the Stags. Besides the Dowd brothers, key men Joel Cherrytree and P2.ul McGuire also return, giving Fairfield a strong veteran nucleus. Bob Melican and Mike Flaherty, both of whom saw considerable action last season, round out the probable starting six to give Fairfield's "courtless wonders" their strongest representation to date. CARDINAL KEY (Continued from Page 4) than I could possibly write. He was talking about trying to get the Glee Club on television, sending a delegation to the "General Electric College Bowl" the chances of playing host for a Key Congress' in the future, increasing cooperation in the ranks, and other things when I took my leave. It was the end of an interview - but just the beginning of a lot of things. In any sport, the ball or puck must be moved quickly and precisely into a scoring position, where the forwards or the guards themselves might have the opportunity to tally. This maneuvering is usually the responsibility of two alert and consistent men and depending on their ability, hinges the success of the team. ---------------~~ Fairfield has been rewarded with two fine so-cal,led quarterbacks in the personage of Bobby Jenkins and Harry Hyra, whose backcourt talents have led the Stags to a successful season, thus far. holds Applicants may sign up in Xavier, Gonzaga and Loyola. The teams, each comprised of five men, will be picked out of a hat to insure fairness.

The topic for the workshop - Radiation and 'Life furnishes a perfect example that in the over-all view of any topic, science cannot be nicely compartmentalized; if you want to learn anything at all about radiation, its physical-chemical causes, its biological effects, and its moral acceptability have to be considered as a unit. All in all, the clubs reflect a needed interest in science, and their successes don't reflect too badly on their membership, either.

PROVIDENCE The Friars of Providence College stopped Fairfield's 4game winning streak by jolting the Stags, 100-57. Coach Bisacca's squad met their roughest opponent while falling to their eighth defeat, : against fifteen, victories, in their regular season finale. Lacking enough height, plus experiencing an off-night, the Stags ran smack into a taller and hot shooting team. The Friars hit for 55 percent of their shots in the first half. The stars of the evening were John Egan, Len Wilkins and Jim Hadnot, the 6'10" center who played only fifteen minutes of the first half and yet snagged 16 rebounds, and scored ten points. Captain Harry Hyra continued his hot streak of late with a 21 point performance. UNIV. OF BRIDGEPORT Captain Harry Hyra finally broke loose in a 23 point scor: ng spree in leading the Red Stags to a 94-72 victory over the Purple Knights of the University of Bridgeport. Coming off the bench to fill the gap left by injured Art Crawford, Joe Flannigan turned in a masterfuL job both on offense and defense. Joe hit for a total of 14 points. Once again Bobby Jenki~s came' through with his' capable consistent brand of ball scoring 17 points, and a commendable job on defence, holding Bridgeport's top scorer, Bob Laemel, to six points. Coach George Bisacca was once able to call on Pat Kelly, Joel Cherrytree, and Tom O'Brien to add the spark to Fairfield's offense. The Red Stags were in command from the beginning. Buckets by Hyra and Jenkins, breaking a 14-14 tie, began a deluge which gave the home team a 53-37 lead at the half. Bridgeport threatened once again midway in the third period. but the story was the same as before. This time Hyra, Kelley, and O'Brien came up with the clutch bucket and the romp continued. The final buzzer brought an end to Bridgeport's eight-game winning streak and Fairfield their second consecutive win over the University of Bridgeport. HUNTER The Stags continued on their winning way in the Tri-State League by beating Hunter 6252. At this point, they are one victory away from tying Bridgeport for top I au reI s in the league. In the First 15 minutes, the Stags opened up a lead of 21 points on the rebounding strength or Artie Crawford and fine outside shooting of Harry Hyra, who took scoring honors for the Stags with twelve points. However, the Haw k s froin Hunter managed to bring the lead down to ten points after Coach Bisacca ins e r te d his bench. With eight minutes left to play, the first string was sent in again to wrap up Fairfield's twelfth victory against s eve n losses. One of the highlights of the game was Pat Kelly's ability to come off the bench and play a strOl~g defensive an,d rebounding game. March 4th, 1960 Marksman Kelly's effort was by far the best of his career. The 100 point spree was a season high for the Stags. Bob Laemel and Joe Yasinski were high men for the Purple Knights.

Both boys are good hustlers and have the shots that could break up a game. All of the squad has seen plenty of action this year, and the constant hustle in practice ,shown by John Scanlon, Paul Schauble, John Kovaleski, and Phil Bucchi has kept the whole club on their toes. With only two games remaining at press time we feel quite safe in saying that it was a good year which combined confidence, ability, and improvement into a real winning year. Bob Ritter In a sprinting, sharpshooting ball game, Fairfield's Stags fell to the Peacock's of St. Peters, 74 to 83, in what the records show as Fairfield's first overtime game in two seasons. The Stags jumped to an early 6-point lead, only to drop it at the half to a 36-36 tie. Top man for the Peacocks was Bill Smith, with 26 points, 7 of which dissected the Stags' defense in the overtime. Clem Reck followed close behind Smith with 18 points.

CAFFREY TAKES VOWS Last month, Rev. Augustine J. Caffrey, S.J., made his final vows in the Society of Jesus. The ceremony took place on the main altar of Bellarmine Hall. Father Caffrey e n tel' e d the Order in 1943 ,and after studying Philosophy and Theology at Weston College, he taught for three years at Fairfield Prep. Father was ordained at Weston in 1954. Following a year of theological studies at Weston and a year of, teaching at Boston College, he served his tertianship at Pomfort, Conn. In 1957 Father Caffrey came to Fairfield University to serve as Assistant Dean of Resident Students. PresE}ntly, he is an Assistant Professor of Theology. In manner of explanation, when a novice takes his first vows, as did Father Caffrey in 1945, they are perpetual 'ones and bind him to the Society of Jesus. It is only after fifteen additional years of study and testing that the Society accepts the individual. The final vows which Father took indicates that the Order finally binds itself to him. Joe Cannizzaro, president of the Junior Class, has announced the appointment of Arthur James Mannion, Jr., as Editorin- Chief for the yearbook of 1961. Mr. Mannion, previously connected with THE STAG, will assume his office on THE MANOR of '61 in September. From the editor of NEW FRONTIERS, Joseph Annunziata, comes word that Geoffrey Stokes has been elected next year's editor-in-chief of th~ magazine. Mr, Stokes' will assume full editorial responsibilities in September. Plans Complete For Glee Club Festival Fr. Healy Takes No Definite Stand On Controversial Loyalty Oath Issue Brunner Announces Senior Week Plans The recent refusal of a few well known colleges and universities to participate in the National Defense Loan Act's program because of its controversial loyalty oath has made much news and more noise. Since Fairfield takes part in this program, and as it is a collegiate issue of national importance, the Stag has interviewed Rev. William Healy, S.J., on the policy of the university in regard to the loans. Father Healy stated that Fairfield believes in leaving the question of signing the oath, and hence applying for the loans, up to the individual student. By participating in the program, Fairfield thus makes available to its students the allocated funds. Those desiring the government aid may apply for it (and sign the oath); any student resenting the oath need simply not apply. In eommenting on the proposed "Kennedy Revision" eliminating the loyalty oath, Father Healy ventured that while the oath is morally justifia-ble, it would perhaps be wise to remove it, as it has hampered the administration of the program. In the three semesters that the act has been in effect, ninetyone Fairfield students have received loans averaging approximately $350. Throughout this period, the signing of the loyalty oath has not posed a problem on this campus. The Rev. William J. Kenealy, S.J., will speak in Gonzaga Auditorium TODAY, March 4th, at 11 A.M.

Besides the definite community attraction, the festival will also have regional interest with nine Catholic colleges representing the northeastern states.

NOTES AND VOTES Among the season's finer things on TV are some of the shows seen, not on the networks, but on two of New York's independent outlets. WNTA-TV, channel 13, has led the parade of programming with such shows as "The Play of the Week," "Open End," and "Reading Out Loud." The first-mentioned above, "The Play of the Week," presents stars of the magnitude of Helen Hayes, Susan Strasberg, Dane Clark, Hume Cronyn, Nancy Wickwire, and Nina Foche in plays which compare favorably to the better off-Broadway offerings, and stand head and shoulders over the usual TV fare. Although the dialogue and situations are sometimes more frank than we are accustomed to on TV, the dignity, skill, and theatre in the productions tilt the balance favorably. "Open End," another of the Susskind-inspired brain-children is a discussion program that starts late at night and continue~ until all are exhausted. One of its finer efforts featured John ~ogley, Bill Buckley, and David Reisman. It is always perceptIve, often funny, and usually entertaining. "Reading Out Loud" is a program that pretends it is for children. It certainly won't do them any harm, but the first two 'offerings were choice adult viewing too. The idea is very simple: someone, thusfar Archibald MacLeish and Richard Boone (Pallidin), is handed a book, so far Walter DeLaMare and Bret Harte, from which he reads aloud for half an hour. It doesn't hurt hardly at all. A final plaudit goes to Channel 9 for presenting "Playboy's ~enthouse." This show, conceived and decorated by the magazme of the same name, is, very simply, a party. A group of people get together around a few drinks to talk and maybe entertain one another. Among those appearing on the series so far have been Ella Fitzgerald, Nat Cole, Pete Seeger, Stan Kenton, Dinah Washington, Geoffrey Holder, and Ahmad Jamal. It's ver~ pleasant, very relaxed (they use real liquor), and, unless you ve been m the dorm for just too long, a perfect show for a Saturday night. . What is wrong with the debate team? Why aren't they more active? These questions a.re commonly being asked by both the students and members of the debating society. In order to try and answer these ques'tions and bring to light the information, a recent interview was held in which both Father Nickerson, S.J., the club moderator and Father Henry Murphy, S.J., the assistant moderator were questioned. Among the questions asked were the following: "Is there any basis to the ruinor that lack of funds 's putting debating out of business at Fairfield University? How much and to what quality is the support of the student body?" The following is a sum° nery of the interesting replies received. It seems that there has been a continuous complaint that the lack of funds has been the reason for the lack of activity on the Dart of the BeUarmine Debating Society. "This is not true," according to Father Nickerson. "The main reason the team hasn't received proper funds is that they have not taken the proper means or gone through proper channels." At ~he first meeting of the club this year, Father Murphy explicitly stated that he was willing to go to bat for the society. He said he would be ha.ppy to act as a mediator for the club in obtain; ng these funds. He also asked Eor a written list of the club's planned debates and members of the club. Yet, to this day he had never been granted his requests or ever even again approached. To put it bluntly, his suggestions and opinions have been evidently ignored. Another example in which Father Nickerson was involved concerning appropriating funds occurred about two weeks ago. At the very last minute, he was approached ·and told the club would like funds in order to go to Harvard. Even at this late date, Father offered to see what he could do and asked to have a list of expenses put under his door by supper. Was there a list there? No, in fact it wasn't there until much later. So thus, if the team lacks proper funds, the question remains, "How hard have they tried to get them?" As for the second question asked concerning the lack of student support it seems that this reply also leads back to the lack of organization. Unlike many activities, the Debating Society failed to do any extensive publicity. They never made any concrete attempt in order to increase their membership. Thus, maybe it is true that the club lacks student support. But I again you may ask how can students support an activity that they don't even know exists? "It is the job of the faculty I to publicize student-run activities." Thus in conclusion one might I say that the main problem with the Debating Society seems to be lack of organization. There seems to be an iron wall between the students and the club and between the club and the moderative board. The club (Continued on Page 8) L.P. JFXW J.

Unfortunately, the battle for men's m:nds is being waged in Jakarta, Havana, and other areas qu:te remote from Moscow's s'ide streets. Russia is pur sui n g a tough, cruel, but purposeful :.deology; America a platitudinous, security seeking goal, reeking with a sense of completion. Treating Communism as a bluff is to ignore its fundamental precepts. It is further dangerous in its retardation of the creative and contributive effort needed to revitalize our stagnating appreciation of democracy. Letters ••• Two weeks ago the Young Republican Club sponsored movies of, and a lecture on Russia by Mr. Richard Robertson. Such lectures are always good in that they stimulate thought on the subjects involved. As the Stag was stimulated only to the extent of a one sentence comment, I would like to rebutt Mr. Robertson's contenLons at a greater length. He was asked by a woman auditor: "Why should we Americans, a God-fearing country of high moral condUct, fear the term and concept of Communism?" He replied: "I agree with you completely as I believe Russia to be the biggest bluff in the history of mankind." The question he agrees with reveals a lamentable ignorance of present symptoms of American moral decay: the selling of the airwaves to record companies, a Sherman Adams eulogized as a tragic hero, sex as a "legitimate" business expe.nse, and the concession of the na- Editorials And we are in a head-bowed, humble mood. Dear Miss Burke, forgive us. We didn't mean to say you attend Manhattanville. Really, we know you dwell at Marymount. It's just that we are occasionally bumblesome. STAG RIPS STUDENT APATHY "We are amazed, and thus long have we stood ..." These immortal words of Shakespeare certainly well apply to the Bellarmine Lecture Series Committee. Constant grumblings have been heard about the ,campus as to the lack of speakers that have appeared here. Yet, when lecturers do appear, the number of invited guests from nearby communities constantly outweighs the number from the student body. Since the purpose of the Bellarmine Lecture Series is to< complement the knowledge that the student has already gained in the classroom it only follows that the enterprising student should go out of his way to attend them. As it now stands, the citizens are deriving greater benefits from the series than the students when, in all fairness, its opposite should hold true. It is hoped that the appreciation for these lectures by the student body will be manifested by greater attendance in the future. Nor are we in an altruistic mood. Isn't it about time the members of the student body started to have their say in the running and decisions of the campus unit of NFCCS? The primary target of this federation is each and every stndent on campus. Why are we allowing a small, sealed group to determine the fate of our participation in the federation? Students, arise! NFCCS is your organization and not the social club of a superior clique. The delegates and chairman are your representatives. Make sure they act as such! Lest it be thought that we are on so supposedly-abstract a plane, who would bring your attention the strange occurrence that, in regard to last issue's editorial on cheating, the student body and the faculty are in such perfect agreement or ignorance of it that not one letter to the editor has been received by THE STAG on the topic or the views expressed. :;: * :}: Debate ITeam THREE THOUGHTS; ONE BUMBLE Blasted As Disorganized Reminded by the sight of purple cloth and fasting practices, we would dwell, too briefly, on sea son of Lent. It seems to us that underlying the regulations of the Church, the lamentation of past evils and the stirring-anew resolutions lies an essential practice of Christianity-self sacrifice. Yet there is something deeper, closer to Christ in the motivation and foundation of this spirit and practice of sacrifice. And that is love. Among the obligations of love-the centering of one's interests in another-there is encountered the impossibility of indifference to the suffering of the rest of humanity. The unfortunate fact about the word humanity is that it seems to be a sweeping generalization; whereas, to the contrary, it is one of the most particularized and personal nouns in the language, any language. Away, semanticists! Would it not, we wonder, be a marvelous occurrence, if this nation of ours could' adopt the love that moves the, season of Lent, that realization of what is doctrinally called the Mystical Body? The United States of America and its citizens are in a constant struggle with Russian missiles, communist infiltration of other nations, with the dignity of man and the necessity of authority, with public and private morality. But love, where has it gone? Does America, while mouthing the name of God and justice, consider itself so far above the practice of a Lent? In short, we have become an unchristian country. Isn't it a pity? :;: * * Page Three By MIKE FRATANTUNO MOSIe NOTES As I mentioned last issue, the coming of spring is a time to look into the future, and so we, shall. I call them Faro's Future Fantasies for Fairfield, and they have to do with the changes that the University will undergo to make life a bit more pleasant (?) for the student: 1) The first of these will be paved sidewalks to Xavier, probably made of synthetic cement, since it will no doubt have been invented by that time ... 2) You will see plastic bubbles covering these new sidewalks, these being utilized to keep out snow, rain, hit & run drivers, etc. I had been thinking of a tunnel from dorm to classroom building, but then I heard about the huge Jesuit oil well underneath the University grounds ... 3) You will see the robot check-in attendant, with. the builtin drunkometer testing unit, fingerprint machine, and recorded wry comments for all occasions . . . 4) You will see un-bent silverware made by a process known as Proper Handling . . . 5) You will see meat-colored meat, made by a process commonly known as Green Spot Remover ... 6) You will see ice-cream machines that give you back your money if the machine is empty . . 7) You will see sod'a machines that don't pour the soda until the cup comes down . . . 8) You will see the automatic book store, which is open at regular hours each day on schedule . . . 9) You will see robot television proctors for all final exams, which relay a picture and sound to a main switchboard, and which burns the blue-book (and the naughty student) to a crisp, by means of a Strontium 90 beam ... 10) You will see either a more silent Jeep or a bicycle for the night watchman, who always parks under your window with the motor in supersonic idle in ambush for whoever he ambushes. As the school becomes increasingly more modern, old traditions will make way for new ones. You will have a huge television screen in your room, which will check you in, watch you study, and tell you when you may go to bed, among other things. By that time, the old Fairfield University Gym will have been torn down, and a new, modern field house built. There will be a platoon of ex-Marine Sergeants running the Kampus Kops; they will have taken over ancient Berchmann's' for KK headquarters, they will wear black uniforms, carry Lugers, and ride motorcycles., There may even conceivably be a big sign of some kind· at the entrance to the University on North Benson Rd., which would tell people where they are, and could not be blown over by a gust of wind. Some changes are already here: Senior privileges, on-campus basketball intramurals, more time and less class hours per week and an earlier start in Philosphy courses, etc. There will be even more changes that we will witness before we leave, and a great many more to come after that, so keep your eyes open . THE STAG has taken upon itself the adoption of a seal and Greek letters. Its president, Robert Monk, who did not wish to "go out on a limb," referred us to the treasurer for further information.' The treasurer gave us a picture of the club's finances which were in a very solvent condition. The Norwalk Area Club, headed by J ohnFitzgerald, has forty members and is' one of the smallest clubs in existence. It has sponsored, two stags and a Sports Night which featured films and a speech by a professional football player. Financially, the "Charlie Brown Club" has "peanuts" in its treasury at present. This fact was attributed to "rotten luck" and difficulty in obtaining a hall for so few members. However, it was asserted that while the club was not burning up the league its members wer~. "happy."

However, many institutions;, because they are such, are wont to slip occasionall: y and thus deserve a periodic scrutinization. This, then, shall be an attempt at such. The Bay State Club, under the leadership of Ralph Burke, is composed of fifty-seven paying members. For the first semester its entire roster of social activities consisted of a Christmas Social. According to its president it has been hampered by a lack of funds. This may account, in part, for the scarcity of social activities, or vice versa. The Metropolitan Club of New York with 130 dues paying members ranks as the largest of all the Area Clubs. For the first semester its social activities were as follows: a banquet for incoming freshmen, two stags, a Thanksgiving and a Christmas dance.

Society's First Activities March 4th, 1960 The following three interviews, with the Senior Delegate of Fairfield University's campus unit, the President of the Student Council and the President of the New England Region of NFCCS, were procured in order to attempt to present to our readers a more exacting and realistic picture of what NFCCS, the National Federation of Catholic College Students, means to this campus.

THE STAG SCIENCE WOItLDS INFCCS Interviews Indicate Sclloor's Possible SecessioIl Starting with this issue, there will be (if all goes well) an article on modern advances in science, written in a general and non-technical manner. The subject matter of the articles will rotate between the fields of biology, chemistry, and physics. This first article will be devoted to science here at Fairfield, and I think the most profitable and enlightening point of view to take for this sketch would be that of science on a purely student-motivated basis'. This motivation has led to the formation of three clubs on campus, each limited to a narrower plane of science's wide dimension: the Mendel Club to the life sciences; the MathPhysics Club to the physical and mathematical sciences; the Chemistry Club to the chemical sciences. Right at the start it should be said that these clubs (a word which conjures up unfortunate connotations) are not the big brothers of high-school "clubs" featuring cookbook science. Each group is a unit of a national and highly respected organization: the Math-Phys,ics Club is a student section of the American Institute of Physics; the Chemistry Club is an affiliate of the American Chemical Society; the Mendel Club is one link in a chain of Mendel Clubs appearing in every Catholic college offering a major in biology. You can see that the calibre of the clubs can be judged by the company they keep. The three clubs, quite naturally, draw the lion's share of their membership from the natural science majors, at Fairfield. But the clubs are open to any student who is really interested in what they do and in the subject matter they treat. What do the clubs do? First of all, they hold meetings, once every two weeks on the average. The general format of the meetings is much the same in each club. At Math-Physics Club meetings, films of college science calibre are shown. The Mendel Club offers lectures by physicians, pathologists, biologists. Papers on student projects are read to members of the Chemistry Club. In addition to their day meetings, the MathPhysics Club (the largest science- orientated club on campus) holds occasional meetings in the evening to which guest lecturers are invited. Recently, Lieut. Douglas de Cluitt, an electrical engineer from the Nike base, lectured on the makeup of our rocket defense system. Secondly, each club publishes a magazine. The Mendel Club offers THE NUCLEUS twice a semester; the Chemistry Club's CONDENSER appears once a semester; and S100n to make its debut is SCIENTIA a quarterly MathPhysics Club journal which in outside appearance and (its staff promises) interior quality, will resemble the literary magazine on campus. Because of their interest in different aspects of science the three clubs usually wend their own individual ways. But in any important project they join forces. An example of such inter-cooperation is the joint sponsorship by the clubs (together with NFCCS) of a Natural Science Workshop here at Fairfield in the early part of April, to which neighboring (Continued on Page 9) asleep. A committee headed by senior Peter Grimes has the task of separating the society's by-laws and constitution, with appropriate revision of each. One immediate result of the project will be an absence of ambiguity and equivocation. Note specifically, greater decisive power will be given to the chairman of the group, the election procedure will be changed somewhat with the possible creation of an election committee to narrow down the number of candidates, and two new senior memberships will be initiated (bringing the number to 16). Some unnecessary clauses, will definitely be stricken from the laws, for example that phrase which specifies that Key meet' ngs are to be held in secret. Crone feels that since the organization exists for the students, they should always know what's going on. For its financial life, the Key is considering two courses of action. In the future it might be supported by the Administration directly, or might become an independent with its own means of support, namely by throwing several dances and the like. In any case, the chances that it will remain under the wing of the Student Council are ~rowing dim. On the Sunday before Commencement the senior members will be given official Cardinal Key pins, and an emblem to be worn on blazers is also being considered. John Crane had more to say (Continued on Page 9) tion in the electric furnaces to (he final polishing of the finshed product. The Eus:ness Club was form2.~ ly incorporated on February 15th. At that time the charter was acceuted by the State of Connecticut and the Business Club became a legal entity in itself, and sc:bject to all demands of a corporation such as yearly statements and reports. The majority of the work for this project was done by Mr. Joseph Gabriel, '61, with the aid of Mr. Stephen O'Brien of the business faculty. The club will now begin raising funds w:.th which to purchase stocks and various securities 011 the market. This new activity will add another facet to the many others which the organization runs in order to prepare the business student for a successful future in industry. In an interview with John Crane, chairman of the Cardinal Key Society here at Fairfield, the very short, yet impressive, history of the organization's achievements was reviewed along with its plans for the future. Mr. Crane (sick with the flu, incidentally- yet quite happy to release information) spoke like a man who couldn't wait to say his piece about what he knew, and quite justifiably so. Everything the Cardinal Key has undertaken since its beginning a few short months ago has worked out well. To say the least, the Key men have dispelled the notion that they are simply a group of glorified ushers for basketball games. The Heart Fund Drive launched in the Bridgeport area, for example, and the dedicq.tion of the Gymnasium were quite effective shows of cooperation. The bus trips to ball games played away were sponsored by the Key. and from now on it will be in charge of freshman Orientation Week. But the plans for future undertakings are really interesting, drawn to some extent from an interchange of ideas which took place at a recent Eastern Key Conference to which our organiza.tion sent two men. Sponsoring such things as a blood drive, a parent's weekend, and (get ready) a homecoming week will really make some members of the student body stand up and look again. Regarding its own welfare and security, the Key is hardly The newly incorporated Business Club of Fairfield University recently held two very interesting functions. The first was a dinner meeting at which Mr. Joseph Charlow, father of Joseph Charlow, Jr., '61, and an LB.M, specialist working at the Stanley Works in New Britain spoke on the increasing duties of LB.M. equipment in modern day history. The talk was very informative and the 35 members who attended derived much practical knowledge from his many examples and statistics. The second function was held under the auspices of the Industrial Management division. This activity comprised a tour of the Carpenter Steel plant in Br:dgeport at which the members had a chance to get a first hand v:ew of the steel making process from its blazing incep- March 4th, 1960 THE STAG Page Five S.A.M.

Formerly, contributions were limited to the University's undergraduates; now, however, articles are invited from "faculty members, graduate students, and writers outside the University, as well as from our own undergraduates." This, of course, has increased the volume of material received and therefore the quality of publication. Most notable in the Spring edition are a Guest Short Story by Professor Riley Hughes of the Georgetown English Department; fine critical evaluations of Samuel Beckett and Albert Camus by two of our undergraduates, Geoffrey Stokes and John Faulkner, respectively; a short story, "Alice" by Stokes; and an excellent art section consisting of black and white sketches by Bill Curley and Donald Preziozsi, members of the magazine's art staff.

UConn Grad Female Lead MARY ELLEN CARTER A Fairfield University Graduate School coed will play the role of Catherine Stockmann in the campus drama society's forthcoming production of An Enemy of the People. Miss Mary Ellen Carter, a Stratford resident and former "Miss Jenny Lind" of the 1956 Barnum Festival of Bridgeport, has gained most of her acting experience in musical comedies, put on by her Alma Mater, the University of Connecticut (Storrs, Conn.) and with the Polka Dot Playhouse in Stratford. Using her vocal talents, Miss Carter has sung with the orchestras of Les Elgard and Saulter Finnegan and the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra. She has appeared on television stations in New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island and is presently studying music with Robert Merrill's coach on Broadway. Two Roger Ludlowe High School seniors will be cast in the remaining female parts. Miss Sharon Salko will play Petra, Dr. Stockmann's daughter, while Miss Nancy Martin will be a villager. recent off-Broadway production was staged in a tiny theatre and the immediacy of audience and players was an electrifying experience." The conventional "four wall theatre" will be ignored as much as possible and every effort will be made to obtain the desired immediate audience contact. Employing the extended stage, abandoned by the Glee Club, which protrudes out into the audience, Stage Manager Hank O'Hagan hopes to achieve this. in one scene, in which Dr. Stockmann addresses a large crowd of townspeople, the actors planted throughout the audience will enter from the floor. Sums' up Fr. MUllin, "ideally speaking, we want the people part of the crowd." An actor in both amateur and semi-professional productions, Fr. Mullin also has numerous productions to his credit. While at Cheverus High School in Portland, Me., he directed Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance and Mikado, and Franz Werfel's Song of Bernadette. Boston College's presentations of Arsenic and Old Lace and Importance of Being Earnest were under his direction. Fr. Mullin was also assistant director to Walter Kerr at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., for one summer. By MICHAEL T. KIERNAN The bespectacled, black-clad director of the Drama Society's spring production, made his way through the maze of seemingly unorganized chairs and tables, sat down on the edge of the stage, his legs swinging and grinned' "Fire." Our first question of Fr. Laurence J. Mullin, S.J., concerned the theme of Gonzaga presentation (Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People.) While some critics seek an analogous parallel between Ibsen's Dr. Stockmann and Christ, who both came to bring the truth and suffered at the hands of the people for their refusal to compromise, Fr. Mullin prefers to follow the school which COIlsiders the character of Dr. Stockmann as an autobiographical one, the playwright speaking out to defend his earlier plays SO radical and avant garde that they earned for him the title "Father of the Modern Theatre." Fr. Mullin added that all of this would be explained in a prologue delivered by Rev. John W. Ryan, S.J. Explaining the change from Bridgeport's Notre Dame High School to the much smaller Gonzaga Auditorium, Fr. Mullin said, "For an effective production of a play of this sort, a small theatre is a necessity. The Staging Aims At Audience Contact March 4th, 1960 THE STAG Page Seven EDUCATION CLUB The members of the Education Club recently elected two new officers to fill vacant posts. Hank Pronovost was elected Recording Secretary and the office of Corresponding Secretary went to Cliff Marvin. In addition, Paul Slason was named editor-in-chief of the new Education Club newspaper, "The Educator." and Mike Oates and Jim Coffey were appointed as associate editors. The main function of this paper, which will make its first appearance in late March or early April, will be to incite interest in the club.. The editor, associate editors and committee chairmen will write articles for each issue on the proghess of the club and on various topics in the education field. "The Educator" will also invite guest writers, members or non-members of the club, to write articles for the paper. concentration on science leading to a medical degree upon completion. Both agreed that the traditional system of four years of liberal arts is the better preparation towards medical school, for a broad liberal education is just as important in that field as in any other field of life. Said Fr. Hutchinson, "It would be all right if you're looking on medicine as a trade but we are preparing a man to do a job. It verges on training rather than education. In a liberal arts program all courses work together towards a desirable end and separating the sciences from liberal arts isolates parts which should work together toward the proper development and education of a' man. Philosophy should be an essential part in training a doctor for treating men's ills, which today more than ever are ills of both body and soul."

Our interest is what will keep this series going. We can demonstrate this interest by attendance at the lectures and by bombarding the lecture board with suggestions. There have been no students assigned to the board itself, but all students can request speakers and suggest improvements. The suggestion can be made that those in charge of the lecture series do not necessarily have to obtain men who are very high in their fields or extremely well known. There are many fine speakers who are not as high priced as those who were mentioned. The students can enter into the picture in this respect by trying to find worthwhile speakers in their own home areas.

March 4th, 1960 THE STAG Page Nine Bobby makes his home in New York and saw his high school action for St. Francis Prep, where he was nominated for an All-City team in his senior year. As a freshman' at the Univers,ity he sparked his team to a 17 and 1 record, while compiling better than 18 points a game. This season, as a soph, Bobby has displayed some of the best ballhandling, shooting, and rebounding that Fairfield has ever seen. While standing only 5'9", he has brought down over 120 rebounds and scored well over 180 points in twenty games. Bob is a B.B.A. major and hopes to attain a prominent position in the business world after graduation. The other member of the combo, Harry Hyra, is well known at the' University and in the neighboring vicinity as one of the finest ballhandlers in Southern Connecticut. In '55, he saw action with Roger Ludlowe High School in Fairfield, as they conquered the New England crown. In '56 as a freshman, he was top scorer for a 15 and 2 team, averaging better than twenty points a game. Since that time, Harry has occupied a s,tarting berth on the Varsity squad and is presently serving as captain of the Stags. His combination of fine ballhandling and shooting rank him as one of Fairfield's best. Harry is a B.S.S. History major and a career of coaching and teaching looks promising in the future. It may take five men to compile a basketball team but it takes two strong cogs in a wellbalanced wheel to insure success. Thus the Fairfield ball club has the necessary requirements fora successful season in its two quarterbacks, Bobby Jenkins and Harry Hyra. Richie Davis Fred J. Abbate Bob Jenkins and Captain Harry Hyra Schedule Set For Courtless Netnlen Led by the amazing Dowd brothers, Denny and John, Fairfield's loaded tennis team hopes to improve on last year's nearperfect 9-1 record against its toughest opposition ever. The Dowds lost but one match between them all season, as the "59" Stag netmen had only a 3-6 loss to Yankee Conference Champion, Massachusetts, to marr a clean slate. In addition to U. Mass., this year's schedule includes two matches witli. rugged Amherst, and single bat tIe s with St. Peter's, Holy C l' 0 S sand U.B. New opponents Army and Fordham should also provide stern tests for the Stags. Besides the Dowd brothers, key men Joel Cherrytree and P2.ul McGuire also return, giving Fairfield a strong veteran nucleus. Bob Melican and Mike Flaherty, both of whom saw considerable action last season, round out the probable starting six to give Fairfield's "courtless wonders" their strongest representation to date. CARDINAL KEY (Continued from Page 4) than I could possibly write. He was talking about trying to get the Glee Club on television, sending a delegation to the "General Electric College Bowl" the chances of playing host for a Key Congress' in the future, increasing cooperation in the ranks, and other things when I took my leave. It was the end of an interview - but just the beginning of a lot of things. In any sport, the ball or puck must be moved quickly and precisely into a scoring position, where the forwards or the guards themselves might have the opportunity to tally. This maneuvering is usually the responsibility of two alert and consistent men and depending on their ability, hinges the success of the team. ---------------~~ Fairfield has been rewarded with two fine so-cal,led quarterbacks in the personage of Bobby Jenkins and Harry Hyra, whose backcourt talents have led the Stags to a successful season, thus far. holds Applicants may sign up in Xavier, Gonzaga and Loyola. The teams, each comprised of five men, will be picked out of a hat to insure fairness. The league will bowl on Wednesday afternoons from 3:30 to 5:30 and the price will be thirty-five cents per string. SCIENCE WORLDS (Continued from Page 4) Catholic colleges have been invited. The topic for the workshop - Radiation and 'Life furnishes a perfect example that in the over-all view of any topic, science cannot be nicely compartmentalized; if you want to learn anything at all about radiation, its physical-chemical causes, its biological effects, and its moral acceptability have to be considered as a unit. All in all, the clubs reflect a needed interest in science, and their successes don't reflect too badly on their membership, either.

PROVIDENCE The Friars of Providence College stopped Fairfield's 4game winning streak by jolting the Stags, 100-57. Coach Bisacca's squad met their roughest opponent while falling to their eighth defeat, : against fifteen, victories, in their regular season finale. Lacking enough height, plus experiencing an off-night, the Stags ran smack into a taller and hot shooting team. The Friars hit for 55 percent of their shots in the first half. The stars of the evening were John Egan, Len Wilkins and Jim Hadnot, the 6'10" center who played only fifteen minutes of the first half and yet snagged 16 rebounds, and scored ten points. Captain Harry Hyra continued his hot streak of late with a 21 point performance. UNIV. OF BRIDGEPORT Captain Harry Hyra finally broke loose in a 23 point scor: ng spree in leading the Red Stags to a 94-72 victory over the Purple Knights of the University of Bridgeport. Coming off the bench to fill the gap left by injured Art Crawford, Joe Flannigan turned in a masterfuL job both on offense and defense. Joe hit for a total of 14 points. Once again Bobby Jenki~s came' through with his' capable consistent brand of ball scoring 17 points, and a commendable job on defence, holding Bridgeport's top scorer, Bob Laemel, to six points. Coach George Bisacca was once able to call on Pat Kelly, Joel Cherrytree, and Tom O'Brien to add the spark to Fairfield's offense. The Red Stags were in command from the beginning. Buckets by Hyra and Jenkins, breaking a 14-14 tie, began a deluge which gave the home team a 53-37 lead at the half. Bridgeport threatened once again midway in the third period. but the story was the same as before. This time Hyra, Kelley, and O'Brien came up with the clutch bucket and the romp continued. The final buzzer brought an end to Bridgeport's eight-game winning streak and Fairfield their second consecutive win over the University of Bridgeport. HUNTER The Stags continued on their winning way in the Tri-State League by beating Hunter 6252. At this point, they are one victory away from tying Bridgeport for top I au reI s in the league. In the First 15 minutes, the Stags opened up a lead of 21 points on the rebounding strength or Artie Crawford and fine outside shooting of Harry Hyra, who took scoring honors for the Stags with twelve points. However, the Haw k s froin Hunter managed to bring the lead down to ten points after Coach Bisacca ins e r te d his bench. With eight minutes left to play, the first string was sent in again to wrap up Fairfield's twelfth victory against s eve n losses. One of the highlights of the game was Pat Kelly's ability to come off the bench and play a strOl~g defensive an,d rebounding game. March 4th, 1960 Marksman Kelly's effort was by far the best of his career. The 100 point spree was a season high for the Stags. Bob Laemel and Joe Yasinski were high men for the Purple Knights.
