A new institution of potentially
great significance is being
established on the Fairfield campus
this Spring. John Faulkner,
Fairfield's Senior delegate to the
National Federation of Catholic
College Students, has announced
the formation of the Fairoeld
University Academic Conference,
a select panel of student,
faculty, and administration
members assembled for 'the
purpose of discussing campus
problems of an academic nature.
Permanent Unit
Patterned after the NFCCS'
National Academic Program of
last year, the conference will
differ in that it is expected
·to be a permanent unit and
confined to the consideration of
conditions at Fairfield alone. Its
essential rationale for existence
lies in the diversity of viewpoint
of its members and the
acknowledgemen't that observers
from the three vantagepoints
represented can ,make
important contributions to the
clarification of academic problems
faced by the university.
No, Activity. Points
The conference will have no
power "per se," bu't the reasonableness
of its conclusions may
be expected to influence the activity
of its members and factor,
to a degree, in univer&ity policy.
Student members shall receive
no activity poin'ts for membership,
nor shall be accorded year-

According to Mr. O'Hagan,
"there is a pressing need for
the new playhouse if drama is
going to continue to be approached

Fairfield.
The present balance of funds
is $6,000, some of which has
been received in response to
last summer's appeal by mail to
parents of Fairfield students.
The appeal has been under the

Perhaps it is the ubiquity of old movies that surround us
during the late hours on TV, but more and more people seem
to be becoming increasingly aware of the film as an art form.
One result of this upswing in interest in the film art is an increased
booking of foreign films into local homes. This is an
encouraging note, but there is an equally important, if less
publicized development concerning older fiims.
This week, The New Yorker (B'way and 88th) is celebrating
its first anniversary. Throughout its first year, the theatre has
held to a policy of bringing back films of high artistic qualityor
historical value-and running them for indefinite periods.
They have brought back such fine silent films as "Birth of a
Nation" and "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligiari", without neglecting
some more recent efforts. Their most recent program was typical
of the first year's offerings: "An American in Paris" and "The
Red Badge of Courage." John Huston's film is far more delicate
and moving than I remembered it to be, with the anti-war feeling
strongly underscored by the fine atcing. As for "American
in Paris," it seems to me that if anyone film must be singled
out as a measuring standard to which musicals are to be compared,
that film should be "American in Paris." It is colorful,
exctiting, expert, aptly conceived, splendidly danced, in a word,
supurb.
The success of the New Yorker has been such that a new
theatre with a similar policy, The Charles, is being launched
on 12th St. and Ave. B. From their opening weeks' schedule,
it appears that The Charles is destined to follow in ther predecessor's
distinguished path. Among their early attractions are
"Sunset Boulevard", "The Cousins", "The Forty-First", "The
Big Sleep", as well as the beautiful and important "The Wild
One" starring Marlon Brando in the days when he was still
acting. I hope that the bitterness of Brando's recent failures will
be erased somewhat by "One Eyed Jacks" which open during
Easter vacation in New York.
Dr. Matthew J. McCarthy and
Mr. Carmen F. Donnarumma,
members of the University History
Department, have been

Council's Essay Contest, Kenneth

Council announced.
The contest, which is open to
all undergraduates of the University
and which will award
two prizes totalling $35, will run
through Apr. 12.

according to Mr. Dubuc, is to

To the Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity
to personally thank
and congratulate Mr. Rod Dowling,
the Stag Sports Editor, for
his pointing out to the Student
Body one of the most important
aspects of an Intercollegiate
Athletic Team, the Athletic Department.
As I see it there are five
characteristics of a successful
winning ball team.
The first is DESIRE, the "will
to win." Our team showed this
quality in the just concluded
season. In more than one case
our squad really came through
when the chips were down, Le.
Assumption and L.I.U.
The second is a home. A team
cannot play with the proper
outlook unless it has its own
court. We have it - a million
dollar spacious gym.
The third is the coach. The
records show that in just 'three
years coach George Bisacca has
brought us from a losing team
to two straight league championships.
The fourth lies in the material
or type of ball players we
have. For the past few years
we have been getting some of
the best high school ballplayers
in the Tri-State Area to play
here.
The fifth and one that plays
a larger part than most probably
think is the Athletic Department.
It must cooperate
fully with the coach and team.
It must be sure that the name
of the school is heard not only
locally but nationally. It must
arrange for good competition
and TOP NOTCH officials.
In order to get the BEST ballplayers
at least interested in
Fairfield University we have to
show them something. We must
keep the name of Fairfield University
Basketball, or in that
matter the name of any sport
here, at the top of the heap.
How else are these athletes going
to know we exist. And as
I have already stated the publicity
MUST go beyond the confines
of FAIRFIELD COUNTY.
Mr. Dowling called the Fairfield
Athletic Department lax.
I will not commit myself 'to so
harsh a statement. I will leave
it to your individual opinion.
Let the past record of our Athletic
Department be your guide
and perhaps you will come 'to
same conclusion I have-THERE
IS R.OOM FOR MUCH IMPROVEMENT.

phenomenology and
Christianity; the religious value

Christian value of the artist

the doctor discovering and healing

of such problems and he

faculties of theology in

FILM OVER OIJR EYES
MTK
The recent reactions of our ivy brethren to the north to the
showing of the HUAC (Hou:e un-American Activities Committee)
celluloid "Operation Abolition" joined similar collegiate
demonstrations in gaining a temporary moment in the national
spotlight via the Associated Press: "600 jeering students greeted
the film with American flags, patriotic songs and mocking
shouts ..."
Associated Press in the same news item, credits the film as
"attempting to show that Communists were responsible for the
student demonstrations against the House un-American Activities
Committee in San Francisco last May."
The May demonstrations were touched off by the HUAC's
refusal to admit the California university students to supposedly
public proceedings. Characterized by billy clubs and fire hoses,
the riots were termed as communist-led by the HUAC. "Operation
Abolition" proclaims this contention. Intended to point out
the contiguity of the communist menance to the American
collegian, the film's distortions have earned the HUAC the
student label of "witch-hunting" and failed to achieve its purpose.
(These distortions were admitted on a Los Angeles TV
program by one William Wheeler, a member of the staff of
the Committee.)
Although the committee's blatant adoption of the Communist
method of using falseness for propaganda purposes is
deplorable, so is a rowdy student reaction deylorable. Such disproportionate
demonstrations as recorded in the AP blurb pose
two questions: 1) do such reactions in reality support the film's
contention? and 2) since the reactions seem to be getting "bigger
and better," will they join Volkswagen stuffing and in some
cases, lunch counter picketings as collegiate competitions for
notoriety?
"Operation Abolition" would have little utility as a propaganda
tool for the Communist. A filmed account of 600 collegians
vehemently protesting a film proposed as anti-communist would
be a different story.
Twenty campus leaders tossed off the shroud of "joiner" so
often posited of Fairfieldians (be they chiefs or Indians) to attend
a special Day of Recollection sponsored by the Student Council.
The import of this sacrifice of one full day of the weekend
to represent their fellow students at an activity such as this,
should not be shrugged off as trivial. The majority of our campus
leaders considered it such for this meager score was the total
yield of 148 personal letters sent to the major officers of every
activity on campus. In addition to these letters, 60 presidents
and vice-president were again contacted by postcard reminders
as w'ell as fourteen priest moderators. Posters and schedules
for the day were placed in Xavier and Loyola Halls. Why then
this appalling response and lack of responsibility on the part
of our campus "leaders?" (Not one class president could find
the time to walk over to the McAuliffe Chapel.)
Before the banner of "I gotta study" can be raised on its
rather vain staff, it should be pointed out that the twenty campus
leaders who showed up, found the time the ,campus "leaders"
could not.
This performance should be remembered this spring when
the campaign for student offices begins.
We need LEADERS, not "leaders."

southerner, sang a wailingstomping
type of blues for most
of his program. His voice lacked
commercial beauty, but he made
up for this with his authenticity

of his music, singing the work,
play and spiritual songs of the
South.
We congratulate the Society
and its members on a fine first
effort, an excellent show.
The Society hopes to fill a

this beginning is emblematic of
the high quality and acceptance

Decidedly not. In fact most executive jobs are on
the ground. Of course, all officers may apply for pilot
and navigator training if they meet the eligibility
requirements. There will always be a need for piloted
aircraft. And it is foreseeable that in your working
lifetime, there will be piloted spacecraft-piloted and
navigated by Air Force officers.
But right now, there is also a big future for collegetrained
Air Force officers on the ground. New and
exciting technical jobs are opening up. Important administrative
positions must be filled as World War II
officers move into retirement.
How can you-a college student-become an Air
Force officer? First, there's Air Force ROTC. Then
for college graduates, men and women in certain
fields, there is Officer Training School. The graduate
of its three-month course wins a commission as a second
lieutenant. Other ways are the Navigator Training
program, and the Air Force Academy.
Some benefits that go with being an Air Force
officer. Starting salary plus allowances compare
with the average in equivalent civilian jobs. Then
there's free medical and dental care, thirty-day vacation,
the chance to win graduate degrees at Air
Force expense, and liberal retirement provisions.
No, Air Force officers do not need wings to move

Plans have been announced
for the installation of a huge
spotlight and siren for the tower'
behind McAuliffe. The new facilities
will be donated by Mr.
Al Catraz.
Ray realized that he had to
develop a style of his own if
he wanted to advance into stardom.
The basis for what he did
develop was a firm conviction
that music should express people's
true feeling. Sincerity is
his watchword. This feeling can
be noticed upon listening to
Ray's records or hearing him in
person. According to Ray, with
every bit of music he writes or
performs, "I try to bring out
my soul so that people can understand
what I am. I want people
to feel my souL" His great
success is evidence enough that
he has accomplished just that.
Although thoroughly dedicated
to his music, he has a variety
of other interests. Like
everything else he does, even
his hobbies; that of playing
cards and dominoes, seem like
amazing feats in view of his
handicap.
Someday this talented pianist,
saxophonist, singer, composerarranger
hopes to write for a
chorus and large orchestra with
strings. You won't find many
people who will doubt that he
will do just that.
Meanwhile, Ray Charles is a
rather happy young man because
he is doing what he wants
to do. Says Ray, "I guess I'm an
example of the fact that there's
something for everybody to do
if they just want to."

Freshmen Finish
With Eleven Wins
Starting their final home
stand of the year the frosh hosted
the Redmen of St. John's
University. With a fine team
scoring effort, the freshmen
bested their rivals 70-61. The
victory snapped a three-game
losing streak for the Stag Freshmen,
and was somewhat of an
upset as the Redmen had a fine
record. Larry Rafferty and Walt
Donnelly led 'the scoring with a
] 7 points each, and Ken Wagner
had 15.
In their final game of the season,
the freshmen hosted the
Friars of Providence College.
Led by their 6-10 center, John
Thompson, who scored 31 points,
the Friars topped the yearlings
85-68 despite the fad that they
were outscored 44-36 in the
second half. Nelson Grillo was
high man with 25, and Kurt
Kilty had 14. The team wound
up the season with an 11-9 won
lost record.
Season's highlights:
The team as a whole averaged
73 points per game during 'the
season.
After losing their first three
games - the latter two by one
point - the frosh bounced back
with a nine game winning
streak after which they lost six
of their final eight games.
Nelson Grillo who collected
358 points for the season led the
freshman scoring with an average
of 19.3 points per game.
Grillo also set a new record
for total points in one game37,
against U.B. at home on Jan.

The team, despite some much
needed bench strength and
hampered by several injuries
during the season, played well
under coach Emil Garofalo. It
is expected that several of these
men will see service with George

season.

To Compete Tuesday
By TED ARNOLD
In the recent poll of the captains
of the Senior-Junior league
the following men were
picked by unanimous vote. They
will meet the Soph-Frosh team
later this month, Tuesday, March
28 at 6:30 in the gym.
The men picked are: Jim Mooney,
Jerry Ferris, John Mullen,
Jim O'Connor, Mike Corcoran,
Steve Csontos, Jerry O'Keefe,
Sam Groom, Tom Ungerland,
Frank Tracy, Frank Keane,
Tony McCall and Fran Lee.
In the regular league action
it appears as if John Mullen's
undefeated team has clinched
the title. Needing only one win
in their last two outings to
clinch the title they very easily
turned in an unbeaten record.
Although lacking height they
have made up for it by sheer
hustle. Led by the fine ball
handling of both Mullen and
Jim O'Connor they have been
able to chalk up a most impressive
9-0 record.
In other league action there
was a battle for the remaining
open slots. Second place is
held by three teams, Dowling,
Feehan and Tracy. Just one
game behind them is Muller and
Tiscornia. The last two spots
are held by Arnold and Slayne.
One cubic foot of lead weighs
708 Ibs.; therefore, the average
watch ticks five times per second.

ART CRAWFORD
As the old adage goes, you must take the good with the
bad. Fairfield this year enjoyed its best cage season in the
schools history with a 17 and 5 record in regular season play
and 17 and 7 all told. But with this good comes the bad; next
year the Red Stags will lose their captain and one of the schools'
all time stars Art Crawford.
Art played his high school ball at St. Ann's in New York.
He was a solid starter playing with Donny Burkes and Willie
Hall now of St. John's; York Larese, all American at North
Carolina and ex-Stag Joel Cherrytree. At St. Anns, Art was
the team's leading rebounder and a steady scorer. His fine reputation
as a ball player earned him some twelve scholarships
and among those were Hofstra, Manhattan and Iowa State.
However, Art chose Fairfield and his freshman year he averaged
16 points a game and began to prove he could be fine college
scorer besides good rebounder.
In his second year, Art broke into the starting lineup
against Providence and since then (aside from his broken leg
last year) has remained there. Art showed signs of greatness his
Soph. year but was not yet a consistant star. He spent his summer
determined to aid the Stag cause playing ball and when
he returned to his junior year he was ready for his big year.
Art's junior year is perhaps the best all around year any
Stag to date has enjoyed. He averaged 17.8 points per game,
set the school free throw record (which Mike Touhey this year
broke) set the school rebounding record at 382, and in addition
made the all east squad two times, first team tri-state, and was
named honorable mention all American small college division.
His team mates then unamiously named him captain of their
1960-1961 Red Stag team.
Once again this season Art has been a large part of Fairfield's
success. Although he was not the teams leading scorer he again
proved he could play with the best big men around. He had
three 20 point or better games in a row against Brooklyn College,
Fairleigh Dickenson andloPfi College.. He~'had a hand both;
rebounding and scoring in some of the Sta'g big wins such as
LIU, St. Francis Assumption, and St. Michael's. His best game
in my estimation was the Providence games where Art held
All-American six-foot-ten-inch Jim Hadnot to 17 points, one
of the finest defensive jobs done on Hadnot this year. Art's
fine play this year has been acknowledged by the recent invitation
he received to play in the first Annual Metropolitan
Catholic college all star benefit game and also his selection to
the all tri-state second team.
Art has expressed, that he has enjoyed tremendously his
four years at Fairfield and attributes much of his court success
to a mixture of determination and coaching. Upon graduation
Art aspires to go into personnel work and possibly play some
industrial league ball.

FLASH FOR FRIARS
The N.I.T. bound Friars of
Providence College, displayed
their championship abilities in
defeating the Stags 81-59 before
a turn away crowd at the Stags
home court.
The Friar's big guns hit their
averages with 6-10 Jim Hadnot
canning 17 and Hartford Weaver
product John Egan hitting 19.
However, it was another Hartford
player, George Zalucki,
who ruined the Stags chance
for an upset with a 23-point, 14
rebound performance, his best
of the year.
Bob Hutter paced the Stags
with 18 points and Art Crawford,
besides doing a fine defensive
job on Hadnot, had 14, as
did Nick Macarchuk.

STAGS Drop Both NCAA Tilts
Albright, V. Union'
Enlerge Victorious
By ROD DOWLING
Fairfield University ended its
1960-1961 season on a sorrowful
note by dropping its last three
decisions, two in the N.C.AA
College Tournament. The losing
streak was the longest of the
season in which the Stags ran up
winning streaks of seven and
eight games and at one time
posted a record of 17-4 before
finishing the season at 17-7. The
season itself was a record breaking
performance for the Fairfield
U quintet with such new
marks as: consecutive wins in
a row - 8, and consecutive wins
on the road - 9; Mike Touhey
set a new foul shooting record
as he hit for 106; Bob Hutter,
voted by AP. on the third
team All New England, broke
the record for most points in
a season with 415, most field
goals in a season - 174; Team
set new records in most points
scored in a season 1975. most
field goals 735, most foul shots
504.
ALBRIGHT HALTS STAGS'
BID FOR N.C.A.A. TITLE
Playing on its home court,
Albright college ousted Fairfield
from the Eastern Regional Tournament
by outlasting them 8567.
Albright's sophomore sensation,
Tom Piersall, who was
given All-American mention
turned in a great all round game
and finished as high scorer with
22 points. All the other starters
for the Lions scored in double
figures.
Captain Art Crawford, who
has played a great second half
of the season, tallied 15 points
and 11 rebounds and Bob .Jenkins
also dropped through 15
points for the Stags.
Fairfield led only once in the
entire game, 12-11 with eight
minutes gone but Albright took
a 19-14 lead and were never
headed again. The Stags were
given only 11 chances on the
foul line as Albright stuck with
their average of 14 fouls called
against them a game. The Lions
were given 30 charity tosses and
here lies the difference in the
score as they sank 25.

Virginia Union, led by their

Stags 70-66 before a packed
field house in the consolation
game of the N.C.AA regionals.
Nick Macarchuk who tallied
17 points and 17 rebounds was

One of the popular pastimes at F,airfield University
seems to be comp1ainiJ;lg about the basketball
team. It seems to bea universal trait among the students
land can be heard wherever two "Stags" gather.
There are exceptions to these "nasty" accusations I am
making, although even I haven't stood out as one.
Before a "loyal" Stag rooter (whkh incidentally
should be the first requisite for being a compla,iner
about the Stags) contemplates the 1960-61 basketball
team or for ,that matter any other basketball season
there are a few things he should keep in mind. A college
basketball player is an amateur. He is not receiving
money for his endeavors on the court. What he is
attempting to do is to give his all for good 01' Fairfield
University and the "all" constitutes three to four hours
practice ,a day for at least six months. Have some of
you given as much as ,they have to the school?
This year's edition of the Stags was the best ever
turned out at Fiairfield. They rewrote almost every
record in Fairfield's basketball history. Their bid for
the small college N.C.A.A. championship wa,s squelched
by Albright in their first post season game but this
does not rule out a great season. Albright had many
factors on their side ~that night, 1) home court advantage;
2) partisan crowd; 3) local referees. Many Stag
rooters considered Albright a pushover because they
had not received much recognition during the season.
Albright defeated Hofstra College twice during the
season, which is no easy feat considering the fact that
Hofstm was tabbed number four in small college ranks,
and also oame close to bealting N.C.A.A. bound St.
Joseph's of Philadelphia, ranked in the top twenty in
the nation, dropping a 78-76 decision to them. These
facts serve to prove that the loss to Albright was not
a humiliating defeat as some people took it to be. The
Stags battled on almost even terms with them throughout
the gap:1.e until Albright got hot in the last few
minutes to sew up ,the game.
Most of ,the losses suffered by the team this year
are n~ to be complained about either. Holy Cross and
Providence College are two of the top teams in the east
and are both N.I.T. bound. Both these squads defeated
the Stag,s by sizeable margins and proved that they are
still a Ji,ttle bit out of our class although I don't think
the same situation would hold for a home game with
the Cross next year. Boston College was our first game
of the year and still it took a 34 point effort by their
Jim Hooley to beat us by nine. BC later ran up an impressive
record before losing Hooley via marks, to prove
that our loss to them was not to be unexpected, although
a later return match might have proved different.
Our losses to St. Peter's and C. W. Post were
games which have <to be written off as something that
is bound to happen to a team having a bad night
(against St. Peter's) or underrating a team which had
a great night (C. W. Post).
Congratulations are to be given to Coach George
Bisacca for his second st·might impressive season and
his fine handling of the four sophomores who contributed
~o much to this year's effort. Bob Hutter turned
in a great year by backing up his early season
shooting abjlity with ,an aggressive floor game the second
half of the season. In addition, the fine shooting of
Mike Touhey, the boardwork of Art Crawford, the allaround

In Wilson Fellowships
The Woodrow Wilson National

named 1,333 students from :l81
colleges and u n i vel'S i ties
throughout the United States
and Canada as Woodrow Wilson
Fellows for 1961-62, the largest
number ever elected by the
Foundation in its 15-year search
for prsopective college teachers.
At the same time, the Foundation
accorded Honorable Mention
to 1,614 others. The selections
were made from a total of
10,453 applicants.
Stags Score
The names of the following
Fairfield University seniors appear
on the Honorable Mention
list: Robert V. Biroschak, John
Faulkner and John Vaitkus.
Their names and fields of study,
with credit given to Fairfield
University, have been sent to
the deans of all graduate schools
in the United States and Canada
and to the Foundation's faculty
representatives on 1,126
campuses. On the basis of past
experience, the Foundation anticipates
that most of those winning
Honorable Mention will receive
awards either from universities
or from other organizations.
Dr. Hans Rosenhaupt, National
Director of the Foundation,
noted the following points about
this year's competition:
1. Larger numbers are turning
to college teaching as a
"prestige" career despite opportunities
to earn more in
other fields.
2. More students of outstanding
ability are being recruited
from hundreds of colleges,
indicating the high quality
of education in many lesser
known schools.
3. Candidates are choosing
their graduate schools on the
basis of their own needs rather
than the general prestige
of the institution. In consequence,
their choices of graduate
school represent a larger
list than ever before.
More Nominees
In announcing the 1961 -62
winners, Sir Hugh Taylor, President
of the Foundation, estimated
the total value of this
year's awards at $3,000,000. "The
unprecedented increase in the
number of nominees," Sir Hugh
said, "has enabled us, after the
keenest of competitions, to recruit
young people who possess
the highest qualities of intellect
and character, and particularly
those had never thought of a
professional career, or at least
were undecided about it."
The fellowships cover the first
year of graduate study and are
meant to encourage the newlyelected
fellows to consider college
teaching as a possible career.
Nominations for these
highly competitive awards are
made by the students' professors.
Screening of candidates also
is done by 15 regional committees
drawn from the academic
profession.
Grants To Schools
In addition to the awards for
first year graduate study, the
Foundation annually makes subvention
payments totalling nearly
$2,000,000 to the various
graduate schools where Woodrow
Wilson Fellows enroll.
Three-fourths of the funds must
be used for second year awards
to graduate students regardless
DOGWOOD FESTIVAL
JFI( Peace Corps Plan Recalls
Catholic Youth Ignored Lay Missions
By ROBERT L. MELICAN
On March 1, 1961, the President of the United States sent
a special message to the congress. The text of this message recommended
the creation of a permanent Peace Corps.
"Throughout the world the people of the newly developing
nations are struggling for economic and social progress which
reflects their deepest desires. Our own freedom, and the future
of freedom around the world depend in a very real sense, on
their ability to build growing and independent nations where
men can live in dignity, liberated from the bonds of hunger,
ignorance and poverty." To solve this problem the President
has proposed - "an organization which will recruit and train
American volunteers, sending them abroad to work with the
people of other nations."
"Each new recruit will receive a training and orientation
period varying from six weeks to six months. This training' will
include courses in the culture and language of the country to
which they are being sent and specialized training designed to
increase the work skills of recruits."
It is interesting to note that although the tour of duty
recommended is two to three years, exclusive of the training
period, there will be no exemption from Selective Service. A
study made by Dr. Mam Millikan of M.LT. concluded that there
would be sufficient volunteers, "without the bait of freedom
from the draft." The conclusion of this study seems to be following
true to form. According to the President's message the
results are most heartening, "the initial reaction to this program
has been an enthusiastic response by student groups, professional
organizations and private citizens everywhere - a convincing
demonstration that we have in this country an immense reservoir
of dedicated men and women willing to devote their
energies and time and toil to the cause of world peace and
human progress."
After reading of this program with its requirements and
benefits, the Presidents confidence in the American people,
and their seemingly enthusiastic response to his expectations,
I wondered how the American Catholic College Student could
look at himself with any self-respect. Here we have Americans
who, not possessing the richness of our faith, are giving up
several years .of their lives out of patriotic and humanitarian,
rather than Christian motives.
You may say that this statement is unjust, based on little
or no evidence. How can one say that the Catholic College Students
are not and will not answer the call on a Christian and
Catholic basis. The problem before us is not whether the Catholic
students will answer the call of the country now on a Catholic
basis, but why they haven't in the past. For well over a
decade there have been in existence Lay Missionary Societies
set up throughout the country in order that Catholic College
Graduates may devote a small portion of their lives to the
service of God and their fellow man, which I might add also
effects world peace and human progress. The response to this
call has never been heartening.
These mission societies although not directly responsible for
the relief of poverty and hunger, soon realized them as major
objectives that had to be alliviated before Christian principles
could be accepted. Thus it became one of their objectives to help
stamp out hungar and poverty as well as instruct the individual
in the Catholic Faith.
We had a greater motive with similar or even greater objectives
and the Catholic student population never responded.
Now we see througout the Catholic College world a great cry
for action because our country needs a program of this type to
protect old propaganda losses against further defeats "here's a
chance to devote ourselves to a liberal and humanitarian cause"
while we've already rejected the greatest liberal and humanitarian
Jesus Christ, our God and our Savior.
I ask yOU to look into yourselves and the Organization that
directs ou~ call to seek out the why and the where of the
problem. Why didn't "we" answer the Voice crying in the
desert and the jungle.

laboratory at Fairfield, the basic
equipment used is the gas-oxyg,
en burner, glass-blowing goggles,
an asbestos board, file, and
finally the glass.
Special Burners
An interesting feature about
glassblowing is the type of
turners used. In America today,
glassblowers use the cross-fire
burners. This may consist of
either single or multiple tipped
burners. This type is good for
basic glass to glass seals and
advanced techniques. The Europeans
use a single blast lamp
burner.
Comparing the 'two types
basically used, one may see that
the European requires a long
period of instruction and practice
to perfect the basic technique
of rotating, heating and
blowing. With sufficient practice
the European glassblowing
can be developed into a faster
method for making standard
apparatus, especially on a production
basis. However, a distinct
advantage of American
glass-blowing is the ease and
speed with which it can be mastered.
For precision glassblowing
the American method is
superior because of the close
tolerances which can be maintained
and the accuracy with
which the work can be lined up.
When one begins with glasswork
the glass should be thoroughly
cleaned. In addition to
this, all traces of vapors from
any solvents must be removed
to avoid the hazard of an exolosive
mixture of solvent and
air.
Glass Cutting
For cutting glass the most
widely used method is with a
file. Several other methods are
cutting with a hot rod, hot wire
I or by a cutting saw.
