New ideas and innovations were the key notes of
this year's Freshman Orientation Week. Chairman Art
Mannion maintained ,his goal of having a full week of
both social and religious activities. These new ideas
were all a success.
Fairfield has added eight new members to its faculty
this year. THE STAG wishes to take this opportunity
to welcome these men to Fairfield and to introduce
them to the student body. There are two new
lay teachers -and six Jesuit teachers, four of which
were ordained together in 1957.
e Reverend Mr. Neil P. O'Keefe,
R M P k S J S.J., a native of B 0 s ton has ev. c ea e, . . come to. Fairfield after acquir-
L·· Off· ing his M.A. in Philosophy at lalson Icer Boston College this past June.
F F II h· He acquired his A.B. at Boston or e OWS IpS . in 1953 where he was president
of Alpha Sigma Nn, editor of
the yearbook and a Magna Cum
Laude graduate. Then he served
for two years in the Navy as a
lieutenant stationed in Korea
Fo.rmosa '-and the Quemoy Is~
lands. A Jesuit now for four
years. Mr. O'Keefe will act as a
Philosophy instructor at Fair-'
field.
The second student J e sui t
teaching at Fairfield this year
is the Rev. Mr. George V. Babcock,
S.J. He is returning to
Fairfield after a years absence
during which he received his
M.B.A. at New York University.
After serving as a corporal in
the army from 1946 to 1948, he
joined the Jesuits in 1950 and
took his A.B. in Philosophy at
Weston in 1956. He has joined
the Economics Dept. as an instructor.
Another Bostonian joining the
staff is the Rev. Robert E. Varnerin,
S.J., who is an. Assistant
Professor of Chemistry. Father
Varnerin received his A.B. in
Philosophy in 1949 and his M.A.
in 1950 both from Weston College.
In 1954 he obtained his
Ph.D. in Chemistry at Catholic
University and in 1958 his S.T.L.
in Theology at Weston. Father

The Danforth Foundation, an
educational foundation located
in St. Louis, Missouri, invites
applications for the ninth class
(1950) of Danforth Graduate
fellows· from college senior men
and recent graduates who are
preparing themselves for a career
of college teaching, and are
planning to enter g l' a d u ate
school in September, 1960, for
their first year of g l' a d u ate
study. The Foundation welcomes
applicants from the a l' e a s' of
Natural and Biological Sciences,
Humanities and all fields of
specialization to be found in the
undergraduate college.
President J. Fitzgerald has
named Rev. T. E. McPeake as
the Liaison Officer to. nominate
to the Danforth Foundation two
or not to exceed three candidates
for these 1960 fellowships.
These appointments are fundamentally"
a relationship of encouragement"
throughout the
years of graduate study, carryinga
promise of financial aid
within prescribed conditions as
there may be need. The maximum
.annual grant for sin g 1 e
Fellows is $1500 plus tuition and
fees charged to all graduate students;
for married Fellows, $2000
plus tuition and fees charged to

A first in the history of the
Catholic Church was made when
Pope John XXIII addressed the
opening session of a congress
anywhere in the wo.rld. Other
stellar talks came from Archbishop
Joseph F. Gawlina, director
of the World Federation
of Sodalities, Cardinal Richard
J. Cushing, Dr. Robert Hays, and
Mr. Joseph O'Connor. The exchange
of ideas, the disclosure
of successes and failures, the
resolutions for betterment were
conveyed in the afternoon workshop
sessions provided for such
communications. Daily Mass and
Holy Communion were offered
to all in the huge gymnasium.
Many attractive and informative
exhibts gave everyone a splendid
concept of the extent of
Catholic action throughout the
world. The finale of the congress
was held in Roosevelt Stadium,
Jersey City, N.J. Bishop Fulton
J. Sheen presented the sermon
before a throng of 25,000. At this
awe-inspiring demonstration of
love and devotion to the Mother
of Our Savior, he call e d on
everyone to "continue the apostolic
example shown by Our
Lady" and to exemplify the
principles of holiness and sacrifice.
-------------~e Monday was registration day
for the Frosh, and a movie "Immitation
General" played that
night. Tuesday was a big day for
the new arrivals. At 9:00 a.m.
assembly was held in Gonzaga
Auditorium. Mr. Tartaro, Director
of Public ReI a t ion sand
Placement; Mr. Guarcello, Military
Advisor; Fr. McCormick,
Dean of Men; and Fr. Mahan,
Dean of Freshmen, all spoke on
the functions and what is expected
from the Freshman during
his stay at Fairfield.
The F a cuI t y Advisors and
Junior Sponsors met with their
respective groups for the purpose
of answering any specific
questions the newcomers may
have had. Then they visited the
activities display that was set
up in the gym.
Bob Crowley organized the
display with the theme that extra-
curricular activities are an
integral and important function
of our college life. This has
been a weak spot in preVious
years, but with the aid of the
new gym and careful planning

Soph Dance Draws
Capacity Crowd In Gym,
A capacity crowd was present
at the sophomore mixer held on
Saturday, October 3 in the
University gymnasium. CIa s s
president Lou Zowine served as
master of ceremonies for the affair.
Girls were present from
St. Joseph's, Marymount, New
Rochelle, Alb e l' t us Magnus,
Goo d Counsel, Manhattanville
colleges and Norwalk and Saint
Vincent's nursing schools.
The gym was decorated in a
continental motif with signs in
various languages on the walls.
Zowine was general chairman
of the dance, Bob Berchem headed
the refreshment committee,
Paul Rudd the decoration committee,
Jay Behr the ticket c,ommittee.
Dan DeMarco and the
Collegiate Six provided music.
President Zowine termed the affair
"a big success.' Over 1,000
people filled the auxiliary gym
and this is believed to be the
best attended dance ever held
on campus.
Ten representatives from the
Sodality of Our Lady of Fairfield,
accompanied by Fr. Joseph
W. Murphy, S.J., and Fr. Richard
L. Rooney, S.J., attended the
Second World Congress of the
Sodalities of Our Lady held
August 20-23 at Seton Hall University,
South Orange, New
Jersey.
The Fairfield men were Paul
Cervoni, Frederick Miller, Raymond
Martin, Robert Jorlette,
Daniel Comcowich, Paul Ziegler,
James Fin neg a n, John
Seery, Patrick Waide, and John
Croake. Fr. M u l' P h y and Fr.
Rooney conducted workshop sessions.
More than 5,000 del ega t e s
from 40 nations gathered for this
four-day affair under the patronage
of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The theme of the congress
was "The Sodalist in the Modern
World."
The purpose of this congress
was the rekindling and rejuvenation
of the true sodality spirit:
self-sanctification and zealous
apostolic work for Christ and
His Church. The activities and
events of each day contributed
greatly to the fostering of this
end.
Large Crowd Hears
Bonn-Norman Debate
On October 1st Gonzaga Auditorium
initiated its public program
of the discussion of subjects
of contemporary interest
with a debate on the pros and
con of capital punishment.
Fr. Ryan as moderator introduced
the subject, nature and
speakers 'of the debate to a capacity
audience. Fr. John Bonn,
S.J., expert on criminal reform
and allied fields, argued in support
of capital punishment. Dr.
John Norman, as a humanitarian
and conscientious citizen, opposed
Fr. Bonn with the nega-tive
position. r

(Number one in a series of articles
on the Drama Society's
fall production-Ed.)
Rehearsals are well underway
for the Fairfield University Drama
Society's fall production,
Tennessee Williams' The Glass
Menagerie to ·be presented for
one night only, November 21 at
the Notre Dame High School in
Bridgeport.
Directed by Robert G. Emerich,
the two-act play is termed
by its author as a "memory
play." This type of play can be
presented with an unusual freedom
of convention and poetic
license, omitting details and exaggerating
others, according to
the emotional value of the articles
treated.
Technical d ire c tor, Frank
Barrett will use a relatively new
process known as "space staging"
employing a series of platforms
to create an illusion of
the characters floating as the
objects in a man's me mol' y.
Keeping within the empressionistic
sty.!e of the play, no walls
will be used on stage. Special
effects will be achieved through
new musical and lighting methods.
Mr. Williams states in his
introductory not e s, "Empressionism
and all other unconventional
techniques in drama have
only one valid aim, and that is
a closer approach to truth . . .
a more penetrating and vivid
expression of t hi n g Sl as they
are."
The· cast, as released earlier
this month by John O'Regan '62,
assistant to the director, includes
Fredrick Price as Tom, Samuel
Groom as the Gentleman Caller,
Gabriel Gunther (tentative) as
Amanda and Janet Sarno as
Laura.
A portion of the play, \'lithout
the elaborate staging, was presented
last spring in Gonzaga
Theatre as part of the contemporary
American drama lecture
series.

The Motion Picture Industry did not suffer for lack 'of trade
from your reviewer this summer. And likewise, I found that the
public didn't suffer for lack of worthwhile diversion among the
hot-weather fare.
Perhaps the movie which, more than any other, people have
asked me if I've seen, is Alfred Hitchcock's "North by Northwest."
It is amazing how sharply divided the opinion is on what I would
call a "light-weight" picture. I am told (with violent demonstration)
either that it is terrible, ridiculous, absurd nonsense or that
it is an exciting and compelling picture, perhaps the gr~atest of
~ts kind since "The Great Train Robbery." Frankly, I enjoyed
It. Not for a moment because of its plot, which was (let's face it)
rather improbable. Not for a minute because .of the acting, which
was (and this is even easier to face) somewhat - in the profound
sense - casual. (N.B. I do not refer, of course, to that
superbly paced and subtly eloquent dialogue between Miss Saint
and Mr. Grant on the train - a truly memorable moment in
cinematographic art.) Not for a minute, either, did I enjoy it
for its scenic grandeur, which was visually as convincing as a
papier-mache window display at J. C. Penney's.
No. Frankly, for me, "Nor'th by Northwest" was an intellectual
guessing game. I get a great kick out of looking for that
cute old Mr. Hitchcock - you know, he appears in all his picture~,
somewhere. As a matter of fact, I missed him; but that's
all rIght. Someone told me he came in during the first reel' and
I'm not too sure I would have stayed. (Actually, I thought .i had
spotted him in the final scene - you know, that profile of Teddy
Roosevelt . . .?) ,
On the other hand, "Hole in the Head" was one of those
pictures which absolutely must be walked out on. I don't mean
by this to condemn the picture as a whole. There is some wonderful
comedy in it - especially between Frank Sinatra and
Edward G. Robinson. But, as is the case with "realistic" comedies
which go all out to be "folksy," it too often descends to the
soap-opera level; and ends with one of the most embarassingly
sentimental scenes I've seen since "Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm" (the S. Temple version). So, if it comes around again, by
all means see it, but first find out when it's over and leave about
five minutes early. You'll find that Messrs. Robinson and Sinatra
make their scenes vividly realistic and brilliantly comic at the
same time (with excellent assistance from Thelma Ritter). Then
unfortunately, you will have to wade through a rather sugary
duet by Sinatra and Eddie Hodges ("There goes another problem
ker-plop!"). But, believe me, you'll never miss those last ecstatic
moments', when the entire cast slowly sinks into the sunset literally!
Next column, I hope to discuss the two current films from the
Swedish producer, Ingmar Bergman - "Wild Strawberries" and
"The Magician." I have only seen the former but I expect its
companion to arrive in our vicinity soon. Meanwhile, let me
urge that you see "Wild Strawberries," if only because it's "different."
Th.e m~re experience of hearing the Swedish language
(WIth EnglIsh tItles) IS alone well worth the price of admission.
You may also find, as I did, that it is a beautiful and moving film.

With unprecedented bluntness,
this reporter shall state at the
outset the purpose of this article.
The prime consideration is to
arouse student support for the
N.F.C.C.S. unit here on campus.
Other wandering traces of idle
curiosity are heriditary and cannot
be helped. As the academic
year starts another circle, we
feel the time is proper for an
evaluation of one of the University's
most controversial extracurricular
activities. The nature
of the campus unit of the National
Federation of Catholic
College Students is not in itself
a matter for, great debate. The
unit serves the University and
its students in two major aspects.
The first 'service is rendered
in the field of communication
of ideas and projects between
Catholic colleges throughout
the nation. Being a firm believer
in ideas, and especially
in the communication of them,
this reporter is inclined to support
this NF movement and urge
its suport by the rest of the student
bod y. Without climbing
upon an intellectual's hob b yhorse,
the reporter must admit
to the existence of groups who
would not perturb themselves
over this movement or its aim.
Acceptance, some college chef
once said, is part of a liberal
education.
It is in dealing with the second
major service of the N.F.C.C.
S. campus unit, that the voice
is inclined to become strained
and insistant. On a local, regional
and national basis the N.F.C.C.
S. serves as a spokesman for
the opinions and socio-political
desires of the American Catholic
college student. (I sometimes
wonder if the American Catholic
term does mark and distinctiveness
- but then this is extrainoHs.)
Here the potential of
effectiveness is unlimited. The
value of the right (not necessarily
in a political sense) publicity
and influence as a pressure
g l' 0 U P (here a politicalscience
sense) upon our government
and soc i e t y is realized
when considered as the proving
grounds for the knowledge and
truths one acquires during and
after our collegiate education.
However, the practical value of
this aspect of N.F.C.C.S. is proportional
to the capabilities and
beliefs of the individuals who
put the organizational structure
into positive action. In other
words, if your beliefs and opinions
are not being voiced (and
being yours, they should be),
the reason of the fault is that
you are not there giving them!
In the manner of rousing, it
might be said: only you and the
amount of your cooperation can
determine the success and value
of N.F.C.C.S. to Fairfield University.
While interested support
(defined as more than just signing
up) may not shake the
world today, ah, think of tomorrow.
But where, ask you who have
had the c 0 u l' age to continue
reading, is the controversy? It
lies in the same aspect of. the
N.F. that gives it greatest value.
That is the structure of the national
organization; for in so
large an organization there is
always ate n den c y of overswamping
by bureaucracy. The
region, to which Fairfield Univ.
belongs and to which the cam-

J. McN.
PRAY THE ROSARY DURING OUR LADY'S MONTH
With the opening of the new school year, we of the Stag are
looking forward to what we hope will be a very successful year
of publication. To do this we need men in all fields of journalism
who are willing to work and turn out a newspaper, the quality
of which will be fitting to the higher academic standing our university
is in the. process of attaining.
This group of men, moreover, are not the only students
whose articles will be published in the newspaper. Many men
either because of other extra-curricular activities or the problem
of studies are prevented from meeting the deadline every other
week and thus do not join the staff. To those men we offer the
suggestion, that if at times you have the time to write an article
or you have some piece of information that you would like to be
published in the paper, please feel free to get in contact with a
member of the staff and he will inform you as to the procedure
to be followed.
The Stag is not a "closed shop." It's the voice of the entire
student body and all are perspective members of the staff. Bear
this in mind and you'll be a great aide in the long year ahead of us.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
To those of you who don't already know, the parking situation
on campus is being remedied in the form of a new campus
police officer. He is not here to antagonize the stud'ent body by
placing Hckets on the windows of the deliquent cars. His purpose
is to make the parking lots, thoroughfares and crosswalks
of the campus a safer place in which to drive or park a car. Obey
the rules regarding campus driving and you will not be compelled
to pay the fine attached to these tickets that have been
given out by the hundreds during the first month of school.
ORIENTATION
A vote of congratulation to Chairman Arthur Mannion and
the members of his Freshman Orientation Committee who did
a magnificent job in orientating the Class of '63. The format of this
program will in years to come, no doubt, be consulted' in the
future planning of such events. The Stag salutes the Committee
for a job well done.
For any students not acquainted with the opportunities offered
here at Fairfield' by the large number of campus organizations,
this may prove to be the impetus they need to look into
one or several activities.
The value of any extra-curricula activity depends not solely
of course, on the nature of the activity itself, but what the individual
puts into it. For instance, a man may become a Sodalist
but unless he lives the everyday life of a Sodalist, he doesn't
profit by his membership and is one in name only. The same is
true of any of the organizations, although perhaps less acute.
For any of you interested in getting a little more out of college
life than the textbooks offer, a well chosen activity will
give you what you want. At the University we have many,activities,
but as space limits my going into each one, I will point out
the few which I estimate have the most influence upon the life
of the graduate.
Foremost of campus activities is the Sodality. Under Fr.
Murphy, Fairfield has developed one of the strongest and most
active groups of .Sodalists in the East. A prospective Sodalist
must go through a long year of candidacy before he will be con-
. sidered for membership. This gives the candidate and his advisors
a chance to discover if he will really make a good Sodalist.
For a sincere student here is a chance to set the pattern of a
good Catholic life, and become a part of Catholic Action.
For anyone with a particular yen for political science, as
most of us are nowadays, the C.I.S.L. gives its members a wonderful
chance to see the workings of politics and government at
first hand. Each year similar groups from other Conn. colleges
attend a mock legislature in the state capital building at Hartford.
During the months before this assembly -the members are
given a chance to prepare themselves for the presentation of their
respective bills by weekly meetings and occasional 'mock mocks.'
One assembly experience is a six credit course in itself.
One club which I realize is limited but yet of tremendous
value is the Debating tl(all}, which has been very good in recent
years.
The Dramatic society offers not only a chance to test your
acting ability and power of expression but also gives those interested
in production, etc. a chance to test themselves.
Anyone who is interested in journalism from any aspect will
find that The Stag offers varied opportunities to develop yourself.
Any ·member of th~ staff will tell you that the knowledge
and experience is there for the asking.
Time put into anyone of these activities will pay dividends
in the long run. It is worth looking into.

This year has had an almost amazingly auspicious beginning.
From all reports, Orientation Week was a definite, and unexpected,
success. The activities program, sparked by the orientation
committee, is rolling along quite well, too.
Intellectually, the well-attended public debate, and the policy
chance at "New Frontiers" are among the indications of growth.
In all these ways, Fairfield is in motion. Whether this is to
last, or to die a lingering death is up to the students. With the
momentum gained in these first few weeks, we can go on to a
good year. We can also live up to some of our past performances
and muddle through another year in Apathy Valley.
One of the things that will decide this, is our interest; not
only in such cultural things as world news and the football pool,
but also in events that affect the university, and ourselves, directly.
A fascinating example of this is the recent NFCCS decision
to raise the dues of the member chapters. This should cause us
to ask some questions of ourselves, the NF delegates, and the
council members. Among these questions could be: Why do we
belong to NF?, What does it do for us?, for the university?, for
Catholicism?, and, What would happen if we left the national
organization?
Someone should know the answers, If no one does, we're in
trouble.

what a team! We had hand shakers,
escorters, luggage unloaders,
car drivers, baggage men,

When our team got finished,
frosh had not only lost their

was that sneaky elevator boy

Freshman Orientation
This year the president of our student council is Ernest
Garrity, a resident of Fairfield, Connecticut. Before school, started
Ernie gave signs that he was going to be an aggressIve and
determined president. He sent out letters to all the students
requesting their help in the form of a fifty cent boost in the
student tax. Apparently, he received a friendly response wIth
Iittle 0 bj ection.
Already Ernie is facing legislation that requires immediate
attention. The University's share of the raffle money must be
considered. What will be the best way to spend it?
Ernie, a government major, has prepared himself for this
responsibility for the past two years. He was a member of the
Student Council last year, chairman of the '58 orientation committee,
chairman of the '59 Dogwood Festival, sophomore class
treasurer, and basketball manager. This year he will be working
on the Stag and the Manor.
We asked Ernie if he had any new plans for this year. He
let us in on something that is still on the drawing board for the
present. This year the Student Council will have to inaugurate
a Cardinal Key Society. This society will consist of thirty handpicked
(invitation only) students whose main concern will be
student activities. This group will be different from the present
Honor Society. It will have its own charter and constitution. We
will be hearing more about this new Garrity enterprise in the
future.
Besides this, Ernie has one other aim this year. It is a difficut
aim and may not even succeed. Ernie would like to have a
better cooperation between the students and their counc~l. It
seems that the students merely elect their officers and forget
about them. The student attendance at the council sessions is
practically nil. How Garrity proposes to correct this situation
will be interesting. Ernest Garrity will definitely be affecting
our lives this year.

Law N' Order Brought To Campus;
Effect On Students Is Noticeable
~By. FRED J. ABBATE'
Since the turn of the century communities in general have
recognized the need for adequate and organized law enforcement
agencies. This is not to say that there were no· laws before
this time for laws have existed since the Java ape man. It was
just that'people kept breaking them - like parking their horses
on the wrong side of the street, or letting them gallop in a 1~mile
zone. So men were hired to see that people stopped thIs
nonsense, and since they were exercising police power (everything
from shutting down bawdy-houses to. issu~~g . parkin~
tickets ( they came to be called, among other thmgs, polIcemen.
Although I can't recall any bawdy-house incidents here on
campus, we nevertheless have seen the need for somebody (so~ebody
else, that is) to enforce the laws which define the relatIonship
of students to their University. And so, in this year of Our
Lord 1959, Fairfield unveils - much to the chagrin of its malefactors
- the Campus Police!
The force has been in action only about a week, and already
it has an outstanding record, as attested by the following data:
(1) Less students are taking their cars to school.
(2) More students are removing the windshield wipers from
their cars if they do take them to school.
(3) Many students have gotten their first (and second and
third) looks at the interior decoration of the Office of the Dean
of Men.
(4) Homocides are at a new low.
(5) Most people are thinking twice before acting. They're
still acting, but at least they're thinking twice!
It is rumored that the police jurisdiction will be extended
to include speeding violations. As yet, however, they have not
disclosed by what method they will determine who is speeding
and who is not. But they are investigating. Also, a radical step
is being taken to enforce the Pure Food and Drug Act, but no
official statement has been made regarding this, and many believe
it to be impractical.
And so, we sigh with relief as we see the throng of criminals
running pell-mell upon the advent of the 'men in blue (hats)."
And as we turn out our lights and rest our heads on our pillows,
we are at peace - confident that someone is watching!

With the recent TV showing of the United States Amateur
Tennis Tournament and the nation wide acclaim arroused by it,
many students might be interested to know that Fairfield also
lays claim to an outstanding figure in the tennis world.
It is in the person of Dennis "the chief" Dowd, capt. in the
recently formed University team and this weeks sports personality.
Dennis hails from a line of Long Island racquet men including
a father who supervises tennis tournaments and a brother
who is a constant threat to Dennis' number one position on the
Fairfield team.
Dennis picked up his early training in Bavahere High School
(L.I.), under whose colors he won the Sulfolk, L.I. title and
various park and club championships. Upon entering college,
Dennis who is now a senior, requested the whereabouts of the
Fairfield Tennis Team. When assured that no team existed, instead
of being disheartened, he, with the aid of larry Lessing,
initiated his own club.
Last spring, the team under the leadership of Mr: Dowd
(personal record 17-1) compiled nine against one loss, defeating
such Eastern Coast powerhouses as Amherst and Holy Cross.
With nearly all members returning, this years team could
easily go undefeated and, with it, considerable personal recognition
for its captain Dennis Dowd.

Intramurals Begin

The up and coming In t l' amural

completely revamped from previous
years. With the inauguration
of the gym the system
has been able to expand, and
this year it will contain in a
unified group off-campus and
dorm students. No distinction
will be made of either as in the
past.
Students who wished to participate
signed up from September
22 to the 29. A good number
did sign, although mol' e

will start the second week in
October. There are three football
fields and two volleyball
courts layed out beyond Loyola

will be able to dress and shower
in the gym.
Notices concerning the league
will be posted on the bulletin
board outside the intramural office
on the first floor of the gym.
For the con v e n i e n c e of the
dorm-students, there will also
be 'notices posted on the boards
in the cafeteria. All matters concerning

The league is under the direction
of the Rev. Augustine J.

At this time no fewer than one thousand college
sports editors are racking their brains trying to think
of some novel way to say "It's good to be back." Since
novelty creeps into my life on occasions few and far
between, I see no reason to depart from the norm and
say "It's good to be back."
Seriously, why shouldn't it be. The weather since
our return to the campus has been terrific and our spots
minded students have certainly taken advantage of it.
For at approximately 2 o'clock each afternoon, Fairfield's
quiet and serene campus begins to buzz with activity.

the ba ketball courts, both in the gym and outdoors,
are ammed, the Cross-country team painfully whips

finally every day there is the exodus of the golfers to
nearby Fairchild Wheeler. It looks like the ancient
complaint of "Nothing to do," has been buried forever,
at least let us hope so.

were invited.
The Freshmen met the Sophomores
on Saturday afternoon for
a big field day. The Sophomores
stole the show in track and also
captured the greased pig. However,
the Freshmen gained revenge
by winning the "tug of
war" across the pond. The wet,
defeated Sophs then proceeded
to throw the Freshmen and Junior
committee into the pond.
Dave Shay deserves much credit
for organizing the afternoon.
That night there was a dance
at New Rochelle college for the
Freshmen of both schools.
Sunday started off with Mass
and Communion Breakfast for
the Freshmen. Fr. Joseph Murphy

know that the damn project not
only aids in the growth of our
community, but also aids in the
growth of our community?),
Our new gym was christened
by a mixer Friday night, and although
there were a lot of comments
about the Junior Sponsors
having the nicest girls, it
was a strictly Freshman affairhonest,
fellows! It gave the frosh
a chance to test their answers
to Wednesday's Gordon Profile
Test, like "inclined to be highly
sociable," or, if two had their
eye on the same girl (as often
happens at mixers, we have to
warn the frosh), "gets a job
done in the face of any obstacle."
Saturday dawned beautifully
over "the rolling hills of Fairfield,"
and while everyone else
was snuggled under the covers,
one of the comP-littee found out
that there was a seven o'clock
Saturday morning - at a pig
farm! But more about our friend
(nicknamed "Arty") later. The
day started officially a little aftel'
one o'clock. CIa s s rivalry
started off keenly with the frosh
and sophs forming ranks and
running at each other in battering-
ram fashion, which really
started the day off with a bang.
After the field eve n t s, our
friend "Arty" was introduced to
about 400 undergrads. Having
been in a scratchy burlap bag
all day, then being thrown into
a barrel and being greased, the
pig was in no mood to oblige us
in any way. But ... when four
hundred guys come running at
you . . . I mean, even if you
weren't a pig!
Following that massacre, the
frosh and sophs matched teams
at climbing up, or rather climbing
over each other around a
greased pole. And now com e s
the sore point - the tug of war
over the pond. Although the
frosh didn't get the assistance
from the jeep they had planned
on, they still managed to wrap
the rope around a tree for leverage.
Sop h s were flying off the
banks into the pond so fast and
furious that they finally dropped
the rope, dove in, 'swam across,
and chased the frosh all over
the "south forty.'
After all the grease from the
pig and the pole, I'm sure the
faculty didn't mind the clean-off
dip, for the whole crew looked
(and smelled) a lot better at the
Communion Breakfast and the
President's Tea the next day.
For that matter, I'll bet the CNR
girls appreciated their greaseless
dancing partners at the mixer
Saturday night.
it was a success.
Stag night was held on Wednesday
night with movies and
entertainment provided by the
Fairfield Students. Rocco Pugliese,
chairman of the affair, obtained
several baseball movies,
including last years World Series.
Classes were held on Thursday
and Friday, and now the
Freshmen w ere beginning to
know just what college life was
about. At 11:00 F l' ida y, the
Mass of the Holy Spirit was held
in the main part of the gym.
That night the first mixer of
