This lecture, as most of the lecture activity on campus

lecture activity of campus this fall may be traced to the
generosity of members of the lay faculty and to the student

The Tabsnap Shirt-Tale
Through the centuries men have suffered the tyranny of collar
buttons. It is not just that they are impossible to find. (The only
sure way to find a dropped collar button is to walk around barefoot
until you step on it.) There is also the fact that some men
are simply not made for collar buttons (and vise versa). Their
Adam's apples are in the wrong place; their hands are the wrong
shape to fumble and twist the - thing into that little buttonhole.
So they start the day wilty and out of sorts.
But now that's history. Our tabsnap shirts are secured by one
simple click. As you can see they lie inconspicuously flat and neat.
The closure is covered by the same material as the shirt itself. Tapsnaps
are a JOY to wear; a joy to behold. Hurry in and get with

-Rev. Francis A. Small, S.J.,

in this new project
which will organize all the law

from those of other types of
graduate schools.
A committee composed of T.
Bosze '62, R. Kolesnik '63, and
T. Gooke '63 has been organized
to write to all the Law Schools
in this area, aslcing for the present
catalogue and also requesting
that Fairfield University be
placed on the mailing list so
that the library will have new
catalogues every year. This
committee will also be in chrarge
of keeping the Law ,section in
order so that the catalogues will
be easy to find.

friends have also contribu'ted.
Three dances were also held to
raise the necessary funds. The
shrine will be a gift from the
Sodality to the students of Fairfield.
Fosters Devotion
The purpose of the shrine
stems from the Jesuit practice
of saying three Hail Marys and
the ejaculation, "Our Lady of
the Way, pray for us," before
any trip. The Sodality hopes,
Father Murphy said, to restore
this devotion 'throughout the
school.
The entire cost will be approximately
$2500. To conserve.

in great part, by the Sodalists
themselves.
The shrine location will be
turned into a "Christmas crib"
during that season.
This will not be the first
shrine on campus. Opposite Mc-'
Anliffe Hall there is a shrine to
Our Lady of Fairfield. This was
donated to the University by
the graduating class of 1951.
This shrine, however, will be
the first 'to be built by the Sodality.

THE TRUE AND
HARROWING FACTS ABOUT RUSHING
The Philip Morris Company makes, in addition to Marlboro,

assure you the finest in smoking pleasure.
It is well enougn to sit in one's Morris chair and theorize about
sorority rushing, but if one really wishes to know the facts, one
must leave one's IVlorris chair and go out into the field. (My
Morris chair, incidentally, was given to me by the Philip Morris
Company, makers of Marlboro Cigarettes. They are greathearted
folk, the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, as millions of
you know who have enjoyed their excellent cigarettes. Only
from bountiful souls could come such mildness, such flavor,
such filters, such pleasure, as you will find in Marlboros! For
those who prefer crushproof boxes, Marlboro is available in
crushproof boxes. For those who prefer soft packs, Marlboro
is available in soft packs. For those who prefer to buy their
cigarettes in bulk, please contact Emmett R. Sigafoos, friendly
manager of our factory in Richmond, Virginia.)
But I digress. I was saying that in order to know the true
facts about sorority rushing, one must go into the field and
investigate. Consequently, I went last week to the Indiana
College of Spot Welding and Belles Lettres and interviewed
several million coeds, among them a lovely lass named Gerund
McKeever. (It is, incidentally, quite an interesting little story
about how she came to be named Gerund. It seems that her
father, Ralph T. McKeever, loved grammar better than anything
in the world, and so he named all his children after parts
of speech. In addition to Gerund, there were three girls named
Preposition, Adverb, and Pronoun, and one boy named Dative
Case. The girls seemed not to be unduly depressed by their
names, but Dative Case, alas, grew steadily more morose and
was finally found one night dangling from a participle. After
this tragic event, the father abandoned his practice of grammatical
nomenclature, and whatever children were subsequently
born to him-eight in all-were named Everett.)
But I digress. I was interviewing a lovely coed named
Gerund McKeever. "Gerund," I said, "were you rushed by a
sorority?"
"Yes, mister," she said, "I was rushed by a sorority."
"Did they give you a high-pressure pitch?" I asked. "Did
they use the hard sell?"
"No, mister," she replied. "It was all done with quiet dignity.
They simply talked to me about the chapter and the girls for
about three minutes and then I pledged."
"My goodness!" I said. "Three minutes is not very long for
a sales talk!"
"It is when they are holding you under water, mister,"
said Gerund.
"Well, Gerund," I said, "how do you like the house?"
"I like the house fine, mister," she replied. "But I don't live
there. Unfortunately, they pledged more girls than they have
room for, so they are sleeping some of us in the bell tower."
"Isn't that rather noisy?" I said.
"Only on the quarter-hour," said Gerund.
"Well, Gerund," I said, "it has certainly been a pleasure talking
to you," I said.
"Likewise, mister," she said, and with many a laugh and cheer

College Student Committee
Probes Its Intellectual Life
PARKVILLE, MO. - (I.P.)The
Special Committee at Park
College formed for the purpose
of re-examining, re-defining and
re-formulating through concrete
recommendations concerning,
as Prof. George M. Schurr,
chairman, puts it, "any and everything
pertaining to the intellectual
life of the Park College
community.." "An education
jn either broad depth or deep
breadth" is a primary concern
jn the liberal arts, says Philosophy
Prof. Schurr.
The Special Committee while
having common concerns with
the Curriculum Committee is
not subordinate to it, but "sovereign."
The AcadeJ;Ilic Review
Committee, the student group
existing on this campus for the
purpose of receiving student
jdeas on curriculum revision, is
also cooperating with the Special
Committee. Proposals being
considered include:
1. Shifting from a lecture-oriented
program to one with more
independent study and private
examiflations;
2. Replacing the Freshman
English course with Seminars
which devote an entire semester
to investigating and writing
themes on a specific area in the
Humanities or Social Sciences
(such as a philosophical problem
in Plato, or an anlysis of the
strictly economic interpretation
of a segment of history); and
a single, integrated natural science
course combining basic concepts
of physics, chemistry, and
biology.
Other possible changes under
consideration, which deal with
the broader area of the college
community rather than strictly
the curriculum, include initiatjng
a tougher pre-admission examination
to determine the applicant?'
s' competence, and setting
aside a period of from a
few days to a week or more
between semesters, during which
there would be no regular classes
and all students would study
and discuss one particular subject
with visiting "experts" and
with the faculty. The committee
considers the definition of some
guiding criteria, before the examination
of the college program,
to be of, utmost importance;
one proposal: emphasis on
theoretical rather than practical
courses - problem - solving instead
of techniue.

This year's freshman-sophomore

by a sophomore, most of
whom played last year. The season
was scheduled to open on
Tues., Oct. 3 but was postponed
one day due to rain.
In Wednesday's opener, the
teams of Pat Hurley and Ken
Kelly played a scoreless tie. The
closest any team came to scoring
was in the final minutes
when frosh Bob Batch attempted
a TD pass to Capt. Ken
Kelly. The pass was intercepted
near the goal line; and after two
plays in which Hurley's team
moved well up field, time ran
out.
On Thursday, Vic Costello's
team defeated Roy Nelson's
squad 6-0 with a first half TD.
George GrelleI' lost to Pete Cavanaugh
6-2 in a game which was

Fame and widespread recognition
have touched a member
of the senior class at Fairfield.
.l"rank McQuade, '62, who hails
from New Haven, is believed to
De the only person in this part
of the country who performs a
"live" precIsion shooting exhibition.
By "live" is meant that
the targets are held by his
fa'ther who serves as his assistant.
Frank was taught the act
by Jack Lacy, a famous name
in Connecticut shooting circles.
Mr. Lacy, the originator of the
act has since retired, leaving
Frank to preserve the exciting
shooting show.
This performance consists of
five major shots and a .22 caliber
rifle is used for all shots. In the
first one, a Necco wafer is shot
from between his assistant's
fingers. Next a smaller candy, a
Canada mint is exploded from
its perch on his Dad's finger,
The shooter feels that his third
trick is the most difficult to execute.
A piece of cardboard,
which is the same thickness as
a post card and cut into a strip
one-half inch wide is the target.
This is held so that he can
only see the thin edge, and then
this edge is concealed by the
vertical crosshair of the 'telescopic
sight when Frank is on
target. He also concedes that
this is the shot he misses most
often. When it is successful, the
card board is cut into two onequarter
inch wide strips.
His father then holds a lighted
cigarette and Frank shoots
the ash off without putting it out.
Then the cigarette is placed on
the backstop, so only the lighted
end is visible to the marksman
as his shot pushes the lighted
portion into the backstop. After
shooting out the flames of a row
of candles, there is the grand
finale. Mr. McQuade, Sr., holds
an aspirin tablet in his fingers
and this is removed by a bullet
from Frank's steady hand.
It is easy to understand that
an act of this type is not developed
without many years of Nelson
training. Frank began shooting I GrelleI'

You:
All right. But what can I do for the Air Force?
Future You:
The Air Force needs college trained men and women

You know about Air Force ROTC and the Air Force

them after three months of training.
You:
Starting salary is important. What about that?

NEWS And VIEWS
By ROD DOWLING
According to Athletic Director Rev. T. Lyons, S.J.,
"Fall Baseball will not be found among the extm·curricuLaractivities
ali; Fairfield Ithis year." These words
were Ireceived r:mm Father Lyons, Frairfi'eld's AttJhletic
Direotm in a direct interVliew with a STAG sports 'Teporter
and were priJntedin 'the last issue of the STAG.
I ha,te itO revive dead copy but when dead copy cran be
reprl1nted and developed~nto ,an interesting co1umn,
why should I stJand in ,the way -of news?
When I departed from Flairfield after finH1s llast
June, I wa's informed that ,there was a definite chance
of Fall Baseball for the Stag nine ~n September. This
statement of mine can be backed up by quot~ng Father
Lyons from .the last issue of Ithe STAG. "The inrterest
for ,a Fall session of ,the spor.t has subsided considerably,
so -considerably 'in fact, li;hat it would not be
wOflthwhile to even think of organizing 'a team." Read
,this .stattement a few times and you will be lable tio detect
the -ranacies that I have deteoted. Whose interest
subsided so -considerably? The team's 'interest? The
Treasurer of the school's inli;er-est? or was it the Athletic
D~ctor's own interest?
It oould hardly have been the Ba6eball Team's intere$
J1; which 'Subsided. In June, Fall Baseball was being
considered as a definite possibility in the minds of the
membel'S of ,the 'team who had leH for home. And yet
when :they returned in September, it was not found
among ,vhe 'eXitra-cUJrriculalr 'activiities iCl!t Fiairfield.
Nor ,could it have been the nabonal interest which
subsided because rtwo feHows named Roger Maris and

Baseball in High School) were ba'ttlFng John F. Kennedy

to logioally deduce whose interest subsided.
The Athlet,ic Direotor was ,asked 1Jhat if the inte'Test

to formulate a F'all Baseball pI"ogram - whereupon he
repLied "Even if the interest of the student body did,
once agiClFn appear, itt seems 'impassible. We have nIO

questions. Why don'tj; we have ,a field to p1ay on? Did
the Athletic Director ever oonsider away games with
teams who 'are :eager :£or opponents? Did the Athleti'c
Director rea'hz,e that most of the 'teams we 'engage in
the spring (weather permitting, e.g., April Showers)
play full Baseball. I w.ill 'attempt to ,answer these quesbons

It said that out of 1,800 African

THE STAG
Last Friday, a new campus
tradition was established when
a unique "one-period orientation
program" was conducted in
Canisius Hall for all recent
transfer students. The event,
initiated by Ned ColI, '62, and
instituted rand sponsored by the
University's service organiz·ation,
The Cardinal Key Society,
was attended by approximately
sixty newcomers.
'The purpose of the program
'was to welcome these students
to the ranks of the ",Men in
Red," and to advise them about
Fairfield'is various intellectual,
so'cia-l, and spiritual traditions
so that these tr,ansfer students
would be made more aware that
they have every opportunity to
take advantage of the numerous
benefits offered by the university.
Presidents Speak
There were several speakers
at this gathering, the first one
Ibeing Mr. ColI, who spoke on
the purpose of such a meeting
and went on to comment on the
excellent spirit of co-operation
and comradeship whi'ch is found
among both the students and
the faculty at Fairfield. Each
one of the University's three
Class P'residents, Dave Jones
'62, Bill Reidy '63, and George
-McGinn '64, then proceeded to
outline their respective programs
for the coming year,
while urging the audience to
take an active part in planning
and organizing the events.
The final speaker was Tom
Connolly '62, who transferred to
Fairfi'eld from St. Mary's Seminary
in Baltimore last year.
Mr. Connolly mentioned the
various problems that he encountered
as a transfer student
and offered several practical
suggestions. One idea was that
the newcomer take full advantage
of Fairfield's guid'ance programs.
Another was that the
student m'ake a sincere and
conscious effort to meet new
friends and acquaintances by
aotively participating in the
various extra-curricular organizations.
BMOC Phone Numbers
At the close of the meeting
there was an ind'ormal discussion
period; and index cards
were handed out, listing the
names, addreses, and telephone
numbers of several student
leaders, including data on each
Class President.
.Mr. ColI termed the event
"sue-cessiul" ·and added that the
entire Ca.rdinal Key Society, its
president, Lou Ockey'62, and its
moderator, the Reverend John
Gallagher, S.J. were pleased to
be Cl'ble to conduct this pr,ogram.
They expresed hope that this
brief and informal orientation
would furthet enhance school
spirit.

AND FROM TIlE DEPTHS E T S Announces Graduate Exams PRINCETON, N.J., September 8: The Graduate Record Examinations, required of applicants for admission to a number of graduate schools and by an increasing number of donors of graduate fellowships, will be offered in the National Program for Graduate School Selection to be conducted at examination centers throughout the country five times during the coming year., Educational Testing Service has announced. In' the five administrations conducted during 1960-61, more than 32,000 candidates took Graduate Record Examinations in connec'tion with admission requirements to graduate schools which prescribed them. This fall candidates may take the GRE on Saturday, November 18. In 1962, the da'tes are January 20, March 3, April 28, and July 7. ETS advises each applicant to inquire of the graduate school of his choice which of the examinations he should take and on which dates. Applicants for graduate school fellowships are often asked to 'take the designated examinations in the fall administration. The GRE tests offered in these Editorials At press time, Fairfield's lectures for the year, have sisted in the screening of the film "Operation Abolition" year after most universities in the country saw it.) This lecture, as most of the lecture activity on campus has been, was student sponsored.

We ought to preserve the memory of these causes with a certain discriminating measure of honor, trying to keep alive what was good in them and opposing the pragmatic verdict of the world. It is important to draw a line between a respect for tradition beoause it is tradition the new "cut policy" will be and respect for it which ex-presses a mystery too great for aware that our knowledge to encompa'ss. a concrete The first is mere idolatry and has produced some of the most harmful attitudes the human raee has shawn (Klu Klux Klan, etc.). These are the results of fear, distrust and feebleness of imagination and are NOT CONSiERVAT, IVE but REACTIONAIRY; a distinction which the author failed to mention. Con-serv, atism has a very real and important m'essage for contemporary man, that of dispelling his illusions, exposing the shortcuts that invariably lead men into blind alleys, and showing that Ja truly good society is never a creation of theoriticians or of passing laws or rules however persuasive. It is a slow, organic process in which eXiperience, intuition, and feeling have their place along with pure reason. Due to the limitations of space it would be impossible for me to discuss in detail my ideas of conservatism and li'beralism.The word Bberal once stood for an open, tolerant mind, wide in its range and willing to hear other views. It is unfortunate that present day modern American Bberalism has abandoned this heritage. When espousing such li'beral causes as medical care under social security, increased welfare benefits, or most anything else, these liberals seem to lose their tolerance and s'cream about the unworthy motives of those who oppose them. A number of us at F,airfield came in di,reot contact with this tactic at a corlege rally for Goldwater which was picketed by liberal groups. ,some of the pJlacards read, "Goldwater is a F1a'Cist" and other sU'ch quaint phrases. This tactic seems to be a tool of the author of Aspect.

Since last year's goal of seventy-five pints was doubled, the goal for this year will be two hundred pints according to Gary Muller, '62, chairman of the drive. This should provide an ample supply for the Fairfield University Blood Bank from which the faculty, students and their relatives can receive as many pints as is necessary, free of charge.

Small, S.J., University L1brarian, are two recent donations. The first, which is of special interest to science majors, is six volumes of the published works of Irving La'ngmuir. This present is from General Electric (fur whom Langmuir served as a Research Chemist from 1909 until his death in 1957). Among the many science laudations awarded Irving Langmuir was the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, presented to him in 1932 for his work in surface chemistry. The second donation, given by the "Bvidgeport Post," is approJrimately one hundred late puJbHcations of contemporary interest. * * * On September 14, Fr. Small I addressed the Diocesan Institute for Elementary and Secondary Teachers at Notre Dame High School in Bridgeport. The sUlbject of his address was "Teachers and the Library." Later last month, on September 30, Father addressed the Connecticut Unit of the Catholic Librory Association on "Standards for the School Libl1ary." * * * THE STAG The Tabsnap Shirt-Tale Through the centuries men have suffered the tyranny of collar buttons. It is not just that they are impossible to find. (The only sure way to find a dropped collar button is to walk around barefoot until you step on it.) There is also the fact that some men are simply not made for collar buttons (and vise versa). Their Adam's apples are in the wrong place; their hands are the wrong shape to fumble and twist the - thing into that little buttonhole. So they start the day wilty and out of sorts. But now that's history. Our tabsnap shirts are secured by one simple click. As you can see they lie inconspicuously flat and neat. The closure is covered by the same material as the shirt itself.

A committee composed of T. Bosze '62, R. Kolesnik '63, and T. Gooke '63 has been organized to write to all the Law Schools in this area, aslcing for the present catalogue and also requesting that Fairfield University be placed on the mailing list so that the library will have new catalogues every year.

Parents and friends have also contribu'ted. Three dances were also held to raise the necessary funds. The shrine will be a gift from the Sodality to the students of Fairfield. Fosters Devotion The purpose of the shrine stems from the Jesuit practice of saying three Hail Marys and the ejaculation, "Our Lady of the Way, pray for us," before any trip. The Sodality hopes, Father Murphy said, to restore this devotion 'throughout the school. The entire cost will be approximately $2500. To conserve. money 'the work will be done, in great part, by the Sodalists themselves. The shrine location will be turned into a "Christmas crib" during that season. This will not be the first shrine on campus. Opposite Mc-' Anliffe Hall there is a shrine to Our Lady of Fairfield. This was donated to the University by the graduating class of 1951. This shrine, however, will be the first 'to be built by the Sodality.

It is well enougn to sit in one's Morris chair and theorize about sorority rushing, but if one really wishes to know the facts, one must leave one's IVlorris chair and go out into the field. (My Morris chair, incidentally, was given to me by the Philip Morris Company, makers of Marlboro Cigarettes. They are greathearted folk, the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, as millions of you know who have enjoyed their excellent cigarettes. Only from bountiful souls could come such mildness, such flavor, such filters, such pleasure, as you will find in Marlboros! For those who prefer crushproof boxes, Marlboro is available in crushproof boxes. For those who prefer soft packs, Marlboro is available in soft packs. For those who prefer to buy their cigarettes in bulk, please contact Emmett R. Sigafoos, friendly manager of our factory in Richmond, Virginia.) But I digress. I was saying that in order to know the true facts about sorority rushing, one must go into the field and investigate. Consequently, I went last week to the Indiana College of Spot Welding and Belles Lettres and interviewed several million coeds, among them a lovely lass named Gerund McKeever. (It is, incidentally, quite an interesting little story about how she came to be named Gerund. It seems that her father, Ralph T. McKeever, loved grammar better than anything in the world, and so he named all his children after parts of speech. In addition to Gerund, there were three girls named Preposition, Adverb, and Pronoun, and one boy named Dative Case. The girls seemed not to be unduly depressed by their names, but Dative Case, alas, grew steadily more morose and was finally found one night dangling from a participle. After this tragic event, the father abandoned his practice of grammatical nomenclature, and whatever children were subsequently born to him-eight in all-were named Everett.) But I digress. I was interviewing a lovely coed named Gerund McKeever. "Gerund," I said, "were you rushed by a sorority?" "Yes, mister," she said, "I was rushed by a sorority." "Did they give you a high-pressure pitch?" I asked. "Did they use the hard sell?" "No, mister," she replied. "It was all done with quiet dignity. They simply talked to me about the chapter and the girls for about three minutes and then I pledged." "My goodness!" I said. "Three minutes is not very long for a sales talk!" "It is when they are holding you under water, mister," said Gerund. "Well, Gerund," I said, "how do you like the house?" "I like the house fine, mister," she replied. "But I don't live there. Unfortunately, they pledged more girls than they have room for, so they are sleeping some of us in the bell tower." "Isn't that rather noisy?" I said. "Only on the quarter-hour," said Gerund. "Well, Gerund," I said, "it has certainly been a pleasure talking to you," I said. "Likewise, mister," she said, and with many a laugh and cheer we went our separate ways-she to the campanile, I to the Morris chair. © 1961 Max Shulman In Mens and Womens Dress And Casual Styles Valley Club IIears Pat Perillo Speak STYLE and COMFORT ASPECT By RICHARD M.

Schurr, chairman, puts it, "any and everything pertaining to the intellectual life of the Park College community.." "An education jn either broad depth or deep breadth" is a primary concern jn the liberal arts, says Philosophy Prof. Schurr. The Special Committee while having common concerns with the Curriculum Committee is not subordinate to it, but "sovereign." The AcadeJ;Ilic Review Committee, the student group existing on this campus for the purpose of receiving student jdeas on curriculum revision, is also cooperating with the Special Committee. Proposals being considered include: 1. Shifting from a lecture-oriented program to one with more independent study and private examiflations; 2. Replacing the Freshman English course with Seminars which devote an entire semester to investigating and writing themes on a specific area in the Humanities or Social Sciences (such as a philosophical problem in Plato, or an anlysis of the strictly economic interpretation of a segment of history); and a single, integrated natural science course combining basic concepts of physics, chemistry, and biology. Other possible changes under consideration, which deal with the broader area of the college community rather than strictly the curriculum, include initiatjng a tougher pre-admission examination to determine the applicant?' s' competence, and setting aside a period of from a few days to a week or more between semesters, during which there would be no regular classes and all students would study and discuss one particular subject with visiting "experts" and with the faculty. The committee considers the definition of some guiding criteria, before the examination of the college program, to be of, utmost importance; one proposal: emphasis on theoretical rather than practical courses - problem - solving instead of techniue.

And we have started development of an important world-wide communications system employing satellites.

Cavanaugh Costello Kelly Hurley Casper Duplessie Football's First Week Features Tight Games JIFFY LAUNDROMAT This year's freshman-sophomore league features eight tenman teams with each team captained by a sophomore, most of whom played last year. The season was scheduled to open on Tues., Oct. 3 but was postponed one day due to rain. In Wednesday's opener, the teams of Pat Hurley and Ken Kelly played a scoreless tie. The closest any team came to scoring was in the final minutes when frosh Bob Batch attempted a TD pass to Capt. Ken Kelly. The pass was intercepted near the goal line; and after two plays in which Hurley's team moved well up field, time ran out. On Thursday, Vic Costello's team defeated Roy Nelson's squad 6-0 with a first half TD. George GrelleI' lost to Pete Cavanaugh 6-2 in a game which was highlighted by fine running and passing of the quarterbacks George GrelleI' and frosh Waters. The standings as of Oct. 5 are: W L T 100 1 0 0 o 0 1 o 0 1 o 0 0 o 0 0 o 1 0 o 1 0 nearly ten years ago, and did not begin to perform 'this thrilling act until four years ago.

FAIRFIELD, CONN. CLearwaler 9·9082 COIN OPERATED Open 24 Hrs. - 7 Days a Week 20c Wash - tOe Dry Fame and widespread recognition have touched a member of the senior class at Fairfield. .l"rank McQuade, '62, who hails from New Haven, is believed to De the only person in this part of the country who performs a "live" precIsion shooting exhibition. By "live" is meant that the targets are held by his fa'ther who serves as his assistant. Frank was taught the act by Jack Lacy, a famous name in Connecticut shooting circles. Mr. Lacy, the originator of the act has since retired, leaving Frank to preserve the exciting shooting show. This performance consists of five major shots and a .22 caliber rifle is used for all shots. In the first one, a Necco wafer is shot from between his assistant's fingers. Next a smaller candy, a Canada mint is exploded from its perch on his Dad's finger, The shooter feels that his third trick is the most difficult to execute. A piece of cardboard, which is the same thickness as a post card and cut into a strip one-half inch wide is the target. This is held so that he can only see the thin edge, and then this edge is concealed by the vertical crosshair of the 'telescopic sight when Frank is on target. He also concedes that this is the shot he misses most often. When it is successful, the card board is cut into two onequarter inch wide strips. His father then holds a lighted cigarette and Frank shoots the ash off without putting it out. Then the cigarette is placed on the backstop, so only the lighted end is visible to the marksman as his shot pushes the lighted portion into the backstop. After shooting out the flames of a row of candles, there is the grand finale. Mr. McQuade, Sr., holds an aspirin tablet in his fingers and this is removed by a bullet from Frank's steady hand. It is easy to understand that an act of this type is not developed without many years of Nelson training. Frank began shooting I GrelleI' There's a place for professional achievement in the U.S.Air Force You: Why the gold bars? Future You: You're needed ... just as your father and grandfather were.

Future You: The Air Force needs college trained men and women as officers. This is caused by the rapidly advancing technology that goes with hypersonic air and space flight.

D! III QUICK QUENCHERI ASK ANY TEENI The National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice has urged Catholic colleges and universities to accept more African students and to set up organized student-exchange programs. It said that out of 1,800 African students in the United States last year only eighty-six were in Catholic colleges. "More opportunities are needed for African and American students to get together and talk over serious subjects like nationalism, technological development of countries, cultural habits and ideals," a report said. Catholics Must Aid More African Students Plans for the distribution of Student Prayer Cards to all students of the university have been announced by William E. Dermody, '62, Council Activities Chairman of the Ignatian Council, Knights of Columbus. Mr. Dermody in explaining the idea of the cards stated, "The cards have been designed with the needs of the students in mind. A prayer of dedication of the student's intentions as a Ca'tholic college graduate and a prayer for choosing a career have been chosen. Also two appropriate ejaculations have been added. We wish to put the "Student Prayer Card" into the hands of every student at Fairfield University." Under the plan of distribution, the cards will be provided to the Theology classes for distribution to the students in the immediate future. 90 Kings Highway Cut-Off Fairfield, Conn. Tel.

FO 7·4404 A Convenient Stop for Your Friends and Relatives Just 5 minutes from Campus THE STAG Last Friday, a new campus tradition was established when a unique "one-period orientation program" was conducted in Canisius Hall for all recent transfer students. The event, initiated by Ned ColI, '62, and instituted rand sponsored by the University's service organiz·ation, The Cardinal Key Society, was attended by approximately sixty newcomers. 'The purpose of the program 'was to welcome these students to the ranks of the ",Men in Red," and to advise them about Fairfield'is various intellectual, so'cia-l, and spiritual traditions so that these tr,ansfer students would be made more aware that they have every opportunity to take advantage of the numerous benefits offered by the university. Presidents Speak There were several speakers at this gathering, the first one Ibeing Mr. ColI, who spoke on the purpose of such a meeting and went on to comment on the excellent spirit of co-operation and comradeship whi'ch is found among both the students and the faculty at Fairfield. Each one of the University's three Class P'residents, Dave Jones '62, Bill Reidy '63, and George -McGinn '64, then proceeded to outline their respective programs for the coming year, while urging the audience to take an active part in planning and organizing the events. The final speaker was Tom Connolly '62, who transferred to Fairfi'eld from St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore last year. Mr. Connolly mentioned the various problems that he encountered as a transfer student and offered several practical suggestions. One idea was that the newcomer take full advantage of Fairfield's guid'ance programs. Another was that the student m'ake a sincere and conscious effort to meet new friends and acquaintances by aotively participating in the various extra-curricular organizations. BMOC Phone Numbers At the close of the meeting there was an ind'ormal discussion period; and index cards were handed out, listing the names, addreses, and telephone numbers of several student leaders, including data on each Class President. .Mr. ColI termed the event "sue-cessiul" ·and added that the entire Ca.rdinal Key Society, its president, Lou Ockey'62, and its moderator, the Reverend John Gallagher, S.J. were pleased to be Cl'ble to conduct this pr,ogram. They expresed hope that this brief and informal orientation would furthet enhance school spirit.
