Fall Out Dance Oct. 14
Sponsored by Seniors
On Saturday, October 14th,
the Senior Class will sponsor a
"Stage or Dreg" dance, fea­turing
Chuck Berry. Mr. Berry
has recently completed a suc­cesful
tour of various colleges,
including Yale and Villanova.
The Officers of the Senior
CIass have titled the dance,
"Fallout," and tell the STAG
that it is their desire, in pre­senting
the University with Mr.
Berry, to "relax tension on the
campus."
<t>Gift Will Facilitate
Original Research Here
Henry M. Hogan, a retired
vice president of the General
Motors Company, has donated
an additional $5,000. to Fairfield
University for development of
its new research laboratory in
experimental psychology.
Last year a generous gift
from Mr. Hogan, a native of
Torrington, Conn., enabled Fair­field
U. to obtain several pieces
of apparatus for experiments by
students and faculty.
The University graduated its
first psychology majors in June.
School officials said the gener­osity
of the former GM official
has already begun to reap divi­dends.
Five graduate fellowships or
assistantships were awarded to
the psychology majors of the
class of 1961. These stipends
were granted for further studies
in p s y c hoI 0 g y. Universities
granting these stipends were as
follows: Michigan -State Univer­sity,
$2500 and tuition; Purdue
University, $1500 and tuition;
University of Detroit, $1,000
and tuition; McGill University,
$1,000 and tuition; Fordham Uni­versity,
$800'and tuition.
Fairfield U. expanded its
psychology department a year
ago with provision for a labora­tory
where considerable em­phasis
is placed in preparing
students for advanced degrees
in this field.

Catholic Education: A Question, not an Answer
We are not merely complacent; we are coddled. From kinder­garten
to college, a web is woven about us until we no longer
believe nor want to believe that the web is not the universe.
We are given, in kindergarten, a set of large, colorful blocks
with which to play, called First Principles. Gradually, Sisters of
the Truth arran-:-e these blocks into a foundation-stone. These
blocks are provided with pre-cut matches into which fit only the
other blocks of the set manufactured by the Safe-Play Committee.
As we build our toy, filling in the gaps with an all-purpose
putty put out by the same concern, we soon find that our eye­sight
is being impaired - too much close work. So, we are ll,tted
with specially-prescribed glasses which concentrate our atten­tions
on the work at hand, cutting out the harsh glare from our
window with specially-tinted lenses.
In college, we sit back to admire our progress, painting in
the details with a non-toxic translucent paint, going over the
work of twelve years. We soon discover that we have built a toy
castle, whose boundaries nearly touch the walls of our little
room. There is no place to go but inside.
Once inside. we soon discover that we are locked inside the
castle, which so'mehow has grown larger - almost life size. We
wander about looking for something, and then stumble upon a
fully-equipped kitchen, dispensing automatically all sorts of good
things to eat.
The food is irresistible; we stay, we grow fat, we grow
tired and sleepy.
Suddenly, the play-time monitor comes into the room in
which stands our castle to announce that it's time to go outside
and play. We are given a polite shove and find ourselves on a
large playing field, filled with many older boys who are playing
rough games. We are coaxed to join them - but soon decide to
go back inside.

To the Editor:
If this were an article, it
would probably be titled "In
Defense of Criticism." However,
as I speak as a member of the
staff and not for the staff, I will
utilize this space.
As a student. as a Catholic,
and especially as a member of
th~s student body, I have a
vested interest in the Univer­sity
- both ·financial and spirit­ual.
My money gives me the
financial interest, while my
relig~on gives me the spiritual
interest. From a purely selfish
standpoint, I want and expect
this school to be the best. r.t is
not. But I want to see it become
the best so that perhaps some
day I could send a son here,
knowing it is 'the best. There­fore,
should I ~and my fellow­students)
not have ,the right to
criticize my school? Many say
I do not have this right, and
worse, should not have this
right.
To use a -rather poor example
for the need of criticism, look
at the Communists who actu­ally
have planned sessions of
self - criticism ·and re-examina­tion
of Party doctrine to find
any flaws. They ar,e not content
with the standing order, but
continuously look for flaws in
·order to improve their organiza­tion.
Are we to do any less?
I have been told after a
criticism of some facet of the
Univ,ersity a number of differ­ent
things, such ,as, I'm too
young and idealistic, I'm merely
a troublemaker looking for at­tention,
and that if I'm not hap­py
here, why don't I go some­wheJ:
1e else. To the ,firstobjec­tion
'I answer that I am young
and idealistic and 'at this stage
of my education would have it
no other way; I dread the day
when I shift my v,iews to real­ism
and live to a safe old age;
and 'also, if I am considered old
enough to carry the major part
of the cost of my education, I
think myself mature enough to
make 'a judgement on its qual­ity.
To the second objection, I
answer that my criticism ,is not
aimed at tearing down, but at
building up. I 'am not looking
for attention for myself, merely
an education second to none.
And to the thiJ:1d, I answer
that if I cannot get ,the educa­tion
I need at a Catholic uni­versity,
I 'cannot get that 'educa­tion.
· I do not feel animosity
towards any person who limits
my knowledge, but a fear that
perhaps one less peaceful than
myself would rebel and even
leave the Church in a too­idealistic
huff over the limits of
his education.
May I say now that I fully
intend to criticize this institu­tion
,and its members, student
and faculty, to fulfill my obli­gation,
which I f,eel is a moral
one, and that is to see that my
church, THE Church, does not
suffer the consequences of a
semi-educated, apathetic laity,
'all stemming from the rigid
stability of a sacrosanct educa­tional
order which does nat
meet the siandards of the chal­lenging
forces which seek to
over-throw it. I will question
the intentions of those who
question mine, I leave it to you;
am I working for the good?
Shall ,I critioize? Or shall I let
the stifling hood of intellectual
and spidtualapathy be pulled
over my eyes so that I may not
see ,evil? I let the Reformation
stand as my example of the
consequences of an unchanging
order.

'TOTE FOR UNITY!
The proposal by Senior Class officers that members of
the class pay fitting tribute to their last year of undergraduate
life, by wearing academic robes for the remainder of the year,
will be voted upon at a class meeeting slated for this morning.
The black, knee-length robes - available for the year
for less than ten dollars per man - would be worn in place
of suit-jackets to such events as the Parents' Weekend, the
Mass of the Holy Spirit, the annual retreat and (for dormitory
students) Sunday Mass. In addition, one day each week would
be designated as "Class Day," emphasized by the wearing of
the robes.
Fordham University, Holy Cross College and St. Peters
College have already adopted the idea, to the great satisfaction
of their class members.
President David Jones emphasized that the wearing of
academic robes, if passed this morning by a 2/3 vote, would
be strictly a class move; the adminisrtation would not enter
into either the operation or the profits of the project.
Beginning last year, members of the incoming freshman
class were granted the privilege of wearing Fairfield beanies
during Orien tation Week. The unifying results of the move
were gratifying. At present, seniors are differentiated from the
other members of the student body by one privilege (and again
this affects only dormitory students) they are allowed to sit
in the front pews at the 8 :05 daily Mass.
Traditionally, this class has been a class of leadership
and innovation. It is with this record, that class members
calling upon the unity that produced the most successful Spring
Weekend in Fairfield history, should approach this morning's
vote.
Vote "Yes!" Now is the time to MAKE Fairfield tra­dition.

FALLOUT, OION'T i4i; ?
By RICHARD M. LAWLESS
The present growing movement of conservatism on American
college campuses is a radical change from the traditional col­legiate
bent towards liberalism. A group of students who might
before have idealistically and quite naively accepted the sweep­ing
social reforms of liberalism have now embraced the coldly
realIstIc and adult (almost old-aged) brand of conservatism. I
feel that this is a betrayal of their own spirit, and a convenient
shield to repulse ideas.
The under-graduate budding conservative embraces the po­litical
philosophies of such men as Barry Goldwater and William
Buckley as if manna from heaven to sustain them in the desert
of college, which lacks the sustaining waters of mutual con­servatism
(probably found later in business). Frequent shots in
the arm come from editorials and letters to the editors which
comment on or seek to block any governmental actions consid­ered
liberal, or worse, socialistic. Our conservative emerges from
all this a firm believer in past glory, and is possessed with a
strong distaste for fresh ideas. By this process, these students
have aged themselves intellectually and they harbor a fenced
mind in the manner of conservative exclusion. Is this a good
state of mind, a proper attitude to take while still learning?
The honest conservative is one who, through a variety of
experience, decides that the left-moving trend in politics is not
for him and seeks to pull the trend back to the right. But he has
arrived at this way of thinking after observing and perhaps ex­periencing
some sort of liberalism that is distasteful to him. This
is his premise. He is an .adult, fully entitled to his own point
of view.
But how can a student, still lacking the education of ex­perience,
take on the yoke of these limiting ideas? College is
the time for ideals and not the realism of conservatism. Great
men have started with ideals, translating them, by compromise,
into a firm realism. If you leave out the ideal, your real will
fall short. Admittedly, Goldwater's plan of a "return to the re­public"
sounds quite idealistic, but investigation shows that this
is a return to the patrician-serf political caste-system of the
early days of our republic. To accept all of his theories is also
to condemn the complete set of social-reform legislation the gov­ernment
has sanctioned during the last thirty years.
But, you say, it is precisely the type of social legislation that
drives me from liberalism. lit is true that there are .many evils
in this system of reform, in both administration and acceptance,
but there is also a greater good for more people in our country.
Some of Franklin Roosevelt's concepts are enough to drive away
basically conservative people; but the fact remains, more are liv­ing
a better life. The point is this: does a student care anything
about this fact of a better life, or has he succumbed to the in­herent
materialism of the age? Most of us do not know the
meaning of poverty, and with the full schedule of academic and
social activi1ies find it easy to take for granted the supply of
our material wants. Our education should help us to look outside
ourselves and see the problems of those less fortunate. How can
we expect to gain this broader view, if we fully believe in a
political philosophy based on self - one's own goods - the for­getting
of others? The constriction is evident; the two cannot
and should not be equated.
One should have scope before imposing limitation. The stu­dent
should not surrender his naturally idealistic and free mind
to a closed political view at a time when it should be open to the
continuous flow of ideas that are his education.
The Bishop of Charleston,
S.C., counseled a west coast
audience of students of the
evils the extreme right-wing
John Birch Society and urged
Catholic College students to
stay clear of its extremism.
Bishop Paul J. Hallinan said,
"We are against Communism.
But we are for the social order
that the John Birch Society
would not understand, much
less accept."
In his attack on the ultra­conservative
Americans he said,
"These small minds and faint
hearts today are betraying the
grandeur of the Christian Apos­tolate."
Alumni Association

Bishop Warns Students

He said he hoped that Catho­lic
young people were not
"afraid of integration, fearful of
foreign aid, unwilling to pay
taxes to provide a decent life
for the unfortunate children
born out of wedlock in the city
of Newburg, N.Y."
"If they are," Bishop Halli­nan
said, "then the work facing
our priests and student leaders
is more extensive than we
thought."

Dr. Maurice E. Rogalin, direc­tor
of teacher tI1aining at Fair­field
Universtiy, has been nam­ed
to address the general ses­sion
of the Catholic School
Teachers Institute of the Dio­cese
of Providence, R.I., Oct. 27.
The theme of the Institute is
"The Best Alone Will Do."
An invitation to address the
1100 teachers was extended by
the Very Rev. Monsignor Allthur
T. Geoghegan, Superintendent
of Schools for the Diocese of
Providence.
The Most Reverend Russell J.
McVinney, D.D., Bishop of Pro­vidence,
will preside at the In­stitute.
Also expected to attend
are the Governor of Rhode
Island and the Commissioner of
Education.
The Institute will take place
at LaSalle Academy in Provi­dence.
The problems of the academician, though often technical and
esoteric, are seldom elusive. They are defined problems with
limitations and a suggestion in their construction of a method for
solution. The artist also is confronted with academic and tech­nical
problems. But these problems stem from the more radical
problem presented by art itself. The limits of this problem are
lost in the infinity of experience and speculation. They are
approached through the minutely incremental charges in the
artist. But, as in mathematics such an approach, when integrat­ed,
yields merely a workable approximation, so also the definition
of the artistic problem is never precise.
The problem, without considering its solution, with which
each artist must grapple is one of meaning - in an extended
sense of the word. What his art means to himself, as a man, is
the skeletal form of the problem. The intellectual and experi­mental
flesh of the individual artist gives the problem a more
identifiable shape. Every artist must approach each production
with at least an unconscious knowledge of the problematic nature
inherent in his concept. The art-work, the product, is the artist's
resolution of that problem.
A child at play offers an excellent example for demonstra­tion.
Apart from the teleological and causal data this simple
scene may offer the philosopher, there is also in it for the artist
an aesthetic upon which he must formulate his concept. The con­cept
then requires a physical execution and thus comes full circle
from the physical, through the artist, and back to the physical.
Unless the artist is devoid of personal experience, the product
of this process will be indicative of the problem of art within
its creator.
The musician will work with the sound and rhythm of the
running, laughing child. But even in a silent and stationary
object the musician will find a suggestion of noise and move­ment.
This is the movement, the sound which his concept of
either a static or dynamic scene may produce. Again there is
dependence in the production upon the very personal orientation
of the artist and his idea of the problem with which he is faced
by his art.
The writer is concerned with both the musical and plastic
qualities of the child-at-play scene. But there is also a direct
communicative aesthetic for him. His medium, language, de­mands
it. What he attempts to communicate will also be deter­mined
by why he feels he must communicate it. And this why
is the problem, unique with each, the writer, painter, musician,
the artist in general must attack before and during his creative
work.
The approach by the artist to the problem of art is a factor
which, more than any other, deetrmines the final state of his
work. If the artist feels he creates to teach a moral lesson, the
tone of his work is limited to a didactic one. If he creates simply
to make something, he necessarily follows the path of craft rather
tJ\an that of art. If he is seeking tor himself a sort of world­view,
he will rely too much upon the philosophical.' If he is re­porting,
he will miss the opportunity, in invention, for a creativity
surpassing the selective work done by the reporter. If he tries
to re-create, he develops his work along an imagisti.c or repre­sentative
aesthetic which is an artistic delusion. This 'leaves only
a combination of all these land the additional egoistic desire to
be of some assistance in the distress of humanity. This totality
of method in the problematical analysis that transpires within
the artist is the only approach through which Ian art is most
likely to establish itself and upon which an art is most likely
to grow to a fruitful maturity. It is only when the problem of
art is most thoroughly approached that the artist is free to give
expression to the conceptional struggle within him. Only then
will he, can he, give us art.

Your friend,
Tess
P.S.-I can do my Hula Hoop 3,000 times.
Well sir, Rock thought about Tess and then he thought
about Fata and then a great sadness fell upon him. Suddenly
he knew he had outgrown young, innocent Tess; his heart now
belonged to smart, sophisticated Fata.
Rock, being above all things honorable, returned forthwith
to his home town and walked up to Tess and looked her in the
eye and said manlily, "I do not love you any more. I love a
girl named Fata Morgana. You can hit me in the stomach with
all your might if you like."
"That's okay, hey," said Tess amiably. "I don't love you
neither. I found a new boy."
"What is his name?" asked Rock.
"Franz Kafka," said Tess.
"A splendid fellow," said Rock and shook Tess's hand, and
they have remained good friends to this day. In fact, Rock and
Fata often double-date with Franz and Tess and have heaps of
fun. Franz can do the Hula Hoop 6,000 times.

Good sense tells you that you can't beat Marlboro's exclusive
selectrate filter, and you never could beat Marlboro's fine flavor.
This Rock knew.
So all day he followed Fata around campus and listened to her
talk about Franz Kafka, and then in the evening he went back
to the dormitory and fO!1nd this letter from his home town
sweetheart Tess:
Dear Rock,
Us kids had a keen time yesterday. We went down to the
pond and caught some frogs. I caught the most of anybody.
Then we hitched rides on trucks and did lots of nutsy stuff
like that. Well, I must close now because I got to whitewash
the fence.
Marlboro, in the king-size soft pack and famous flip-top
box, is sold and enjoyed in all 50 States. And king-size un­filtered
Philip Morris Commander, made of superb natural
tobaccos, is also available wherer' . you travel.
THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME
It happens every day. A young man goes off to college, leaving
his home town sweetheart with vows of eternal love, and then
he finds that he has outgrown her. What, in such cases, is the
honorable thing to do?
Well sir, you can do what Rock Sigafoos did.
When Rock left Cut and Shoot, Pa.,he said to his sweetheart,
a simple country lass named Tess d' Urbevilles, "My dear,
though I am far away in college, I will love you always. I will
never look at another girl. If I do, may my eyeballs parch and
wither, may my viscera writhe like adders, may the moths get
my new tweed jacket!"
Then he clutched Tess to his bosom and planted a final kiss
upon her fragrant young skull and went away, meaning with all
his heart to be faithful.
But on the very first day of college he met a coed named
Fata Morgana, a girl of such sophistication, such poise, such
savoir-faire as Rock had never beheld. She spoke knowingly of
Franz Kafka, she hummed Mozart, she smoked Marlboros.

For the third consecutive year,
the Sophomores defeated the
Frosh in the annual field day
competition. The Saturday af­ternoon
program was the finale
to the Freshmen Or,ientaMon
Week, organized and effected
by the Class of '63. Victory for
the Freshmen would have re­lieved
their class from the
stigma of wearing the Frosh
beanie for another long week.
The competition, alw.ays with­in
a few points for either clas,s,
was decided on the final event,
the annual ;tug--o'-war across
the pond. The contests went off
smoothly save for an unwilling
pig in the greased pig catch.
The Freshmen won the Cross
Country Relay, Half-Mile Re­lay,
Cross-Campus Run, greased
Dole climb, and the egg-throw­ing
contest.

InField Day Program
Intramural kickoff time is
,October 2 for the 1961 season
of Fairfield University foot­ball.
Over two hundred men
have signed to play this season.
On the evenings of September
2'i and 28, the team captains
will meet to pick their respec­tive
teams.
While speaking with Rev.
AuguSitine S. Caffrey, S.J., di­rector
of the program, the ques­tion
of individual uniforms for
each team was brought up.
I Father Caffrey referred to last
season when a simila,r situation
came up but ,no,thing came of it.
It will be up to the opinion of
the team captains as to ,the ,out­fitting
of f1;heir teams. Following
the football season a full bas­ketball
season is planned from
December to ,March. As of this
moment -it is doubtful ,as to
whether or not a softball pro­gram
can be run due to the
erecting ,of the new dorm on
that field.
At the completion of the sea­son
an Intramural All-Star
l1ieam will be pic~ed by ,the
STAG. The members of this
team wil 'be presented with tro­phies
donated by the Senior
class which can be seen in Fr.
McCormick's office.
est once again arose, would it
be probable or even possible to
formulate a Fall program,
Father Lyons replied, "Even if
the interest of the student body
did, once again appear, it
seems impossible. We have no
field to play on."
The Prep field, which has
formerly been used, now holds
football bleachers in its center
field lap. The town fields are, at
present, being used for football.

"NoFallBaseball" Says Fr. Lyons
According to Athletic Direc­tor
Rev. T. Lyons, S.J., Fall
baseball will not be found
among the extra-curricular ac­tivities
at Fairfield this year.
"The interest for a Fall ses­sion
of the report has subsided
consider,ably, so considerably in
fact, that it would not be
worthwhile to even think of or­ganizing
a team."
When asked that if the inter-

Since August of 1951, the Director of Athletics of Fairfield
University has been the Rev, Thomas F. Lyons, S.J. In addition
to his duties as "overseer" of the entire athletic policy of the
University, Fr. Lyons serves as trainer, equipment manager,
finandal chairman, and keeper of statistics, records, and scrap­books
for all sports.
Fr. Ly.ons comes from Dedham, Massachusetts; he graduated
from both Boston College High and Boston College, and then
entered the Society of Jesus at Shadowbrook in 1931. He served
his regency as a history teacher at Boston College from 1933 to
1940 and was ordained in 1943, Before coming to Fairfield, Father
Lyons served for several years on the administrative staff of
Boston College. He arrived on campus in January, 1951 as the
Dean of Men, and he held this position through 1959, at which
time he devoted full time to the athletic program.
- One of Fr. Lyons' main interests, of course, is sports. Another
is reading; however, due to an athletic accident, Father has suf­fered
the loss of an eye, and is prevented from doing much of
this. Among his present hobbies are gardening and photography.
When asked what he would like to see in Fairfield's immedi­ate
athletic future, Father responded: "a growth in addition~l
sports for greater student participation"; he also stated that thIS
was contingent on the growth in athletic facilities. Father Lyons
mentioned soccer and lacrosse as examples of sports which could
be added to the University's athletic program.

opinion that this would yield
more spirit on campus during
the fall. Several local men have
indicated that they would help
the team.
The org.anizers feel that the
