PRO MUSA
Since its inaugural tea last Thursday, more than five
hundred persons have viewed Kappa Kappa Alpha's presen­tation
of the paintings of Palko Lukacs, Laureano Garcia and
Bertalan Bodnar. The exhibit will continue through Sunday,
Dec. 17 in the gymnasium rec room.
This first student-sponsored exhibition of professional
art on campus, made possible by the student group's trans­formation
of the seldom used rec room, spells in its enthusi­astic
reception a latent predilection for the plastic arts among
the student body. This was previously unable to be developed
for lack of an arts course and sufficient exhibition facilities.
An arts course and seminar was initiated this year under the
direction of Mr. Lukacs. Wooden frames, a Yankee imple­mentation
of several hundred feet of fishing wire and some
chairs borrowed from the dormitory tv lounges have provided
a much needed exhibition hall.
In the past, student attempts to present their own cre­ative
work in exhibition form have been banished to either a
contention for equal time with the Maverickite curators of the
two tv lounges or with the mailbox traffic in Loyola's first floor
lounge. Nor is this problem peculiar to the artists: gq\duate
committees on scholarships, organizers of the annual science
forum, the literary magazine staff and those oddballs who
desire some place besides a classroom for informal discussion,
have all searched our 180 acres overlooking Long Island
sound in vain.
The present exhibition covers barely half of the room
which spans the entire front of the gymnasium. A plywood
wall constructed at this midpoint would allow the continuance
of such worthy projects as the KKA exhibit and the proposed
spring Arts Week without depriving the ping-pong enthusiasts
and soda-sellers of their mecca.
The possibilities involved in the. development of this
room, currently being seriously under used, are enormous. The
8-foot exhibition frames constructed by students, at their own
expense, will be offered to the University at the close of the
present show in the hopes of offering a media for future pro­jects
of similar nature, whether it be of a scientific or artistic
flavor. MTK

COMMENT
- For School Fashions
In my last column I made a plea for a more imaginative
pedagogy in the presentation of the philosophy courses. Of
the few comments on this matter, I have been especially per­turbed
by the criticism, heard directly and indirectly, that the
proposals set forth were unrealistic. I cannot in conscience
accept these judgments.
The most concrete of the critical vagaries w~s something
to the effect that not all students desire or are able to appre­ciate
philosophy. I believe this is false. Every individual either
lives by, or is in search of, a more satisfying philosophy. That
this is manifested here is obvious if one considers these points.
First, the turpidity of the mental atmosphere. This involves
a perverseness in outlook and values, an internal disharmony
within the individual. For example; objectively, philosophy
is more interesting than basketball; that some individuals place
the latter higher in their scheme of values is an obvious sign
of mental immaturity and a manifestation of internal dis­harmony,
both spiritual and intellectual. In itself, this dis­harmony
is a mute, symbolic plea for proper orientation.
Secondly, the greyness of the mental conformity too char­acteristic
of Catholic students. This too is a mute crying out for
re-orientation; an .individual can conform only up to a point;
when he becomes so involved with his conformity and passes
that point, he will crack. The manifestation of this quiet
cracking is a spiritual and intellectual lethargy and a dullness
of interests.
I believe I covered adequately the second point, in the
column under discussion. To repeat, a great deal of the appre­ciation
comes from 'pedagogical approach. If something is pre­sented
imaginatively, it can be sold. Too many pedagogues lack
the simple American virtue of salesmanship. An individual won't
buy your soap unless you can make him want to buy it - no
matter how perfect it may really be.
I should like to remark on what I feel are some of the
irrational factors involved in the attitudes of the pedagogues
toward presenting their subject and toward their students. One
manifestation of this attitude is the oft-heard statement, "Why
bother to present it to them in a...ll- imaginative Jllanner~ they'll
never really understand and appreciate it; we can only pound
it in to their memories." This may be said to be part of the
residue of New England puritanism which has seeped into the
personalities of immigrant Catholics of the last century. Tradi­tional
Catholic optimism is often relegated to a superfluity be­neath
which lurks the pessimism and the-world-is-evil attitudes
of the puritan milieu.
But the fact is, the world is not evil, and making a young
man conscious of his inherent intellectual beauty is not a diffi­cult
thing to do for those who believe in it sufficiently enough
to use the means to do so.
Fairfield is a young university; we cannot allow its ideals
to lie smothered in their infancy under the fog of the ruins of
newenglandism. Despair, one of whose manifestations is the atti­tude
described above, is a non-Christian virtue; as Christians,
we are missionaries, and must be ever hopeful. Indeed, it is our
sacred obligation to be optimists. This includes, among count­less
other things, a belief in one's philosophy strong enough to
want desparately to communicate it to others successfully. Un­fortunately,
at present we are still mumbling.

Labor And Management Clash
At Public Affairs Club Debate
The Public Affairs Club spon­sored
the second in its series of
debates on controversial public
issues on Nov. 20 in Gonzaga
Auditorium, with the Cardinal
Key Society donating ushers.
The subject was Right-to-Work
Laws, with John J. Driscoll rep­resenting
Labor, and Maurice W.
Reid, speaking for Management.
Thomas Tierney, President of
the Public Affairs Club, was
MC at the debate.
Mr. Driscoll, the President of
the Connecticut State Lab 0 r
Council and subregional direc­tor
of the United Auto Workers
Union in the Naugatuck Valley
area, based his arguments on
the premise that "a worker who
received all the benefits a union
acquires for its members should
be required to join that union
and pay dues to it."
Mr. Reid, regional vice-pres- I~::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::~
ident of the Connecticut Cham- II
bel' of Commerce, a past presi­dent
of the Bridgeport Chamber
of Commerce, and a member of
the Board of Directors of the
Manufacturers Association of
Bridgeport, countered with the
assertion, "no citizen of a free
nation should be required by
arbitrary force to join any or­ganization
he does not wish to
join."
Following the debate there
was a question-and-answer pe­riod,
in which both sides of the
issue were supported and op­posed
by students from the au- I
dience.
At a meeting of the Public
Affairs Club on Nov. 10, special
elections were held to fulfill a
requirement of the club's con­stitution,
which, as Fr. William
Hohmann, S.J., the moderator,
pointed out, stipulates that the
Vice-President must be a jun­ior.
Because of this clause,
Richard Dupuis, a senior, re­signed
the post to which he had
been elected at a previous meet­ing.
Michael Lawrence, a junior,
was elected to fill the vacated
post. Peter Jones '64 was elect­ed
to the vacant position of
Public Relations Officer.
Mr. Tierney also announced
the appointments of the follow­ing
committee chairmanships:

(Author of"Barefoot Boy With Cheek", "The Many
Loves of Dobie Gillis", etc.)
"I'm glad you asked that question, Shorty," he replied.
"Marlboro is my favorite filter cigarette because it is the filter
cigarette with the unfiltered taste."
"Oh, thank you, sir!" I cried and ran posthaste to several
campuses in the Big Ten, wearing, of course, the appropriate
costume: a plaid Mackinaw, birling boots, a Kodiak bear and
frost-bitten ears.
Spying an apple-cheeked young coed, I tugged my forelock
and said, "Excuse me, miss, but how come Marlboro is your
favorite filter cigarette?"
"I'm glad you asked that question, Shorty," she replied.
"Marlboro is my favorite filter cigarette because the flavor is
flavorful, the flip-top box flips and the soft-pack is soft."
"Oh, thank you, apple-cheeked young coed," I cried and
bobbed a curtsey and sped as fast as my little fat legs would
carry me to several campuses in the Southwest, wearing, of
course, the appropriate costume: chaps, canteen, and several oil
leases. Spying a group of undergraduates singing "Strawberry
Roan," I removed my hat and said, "Excuse me, frien:ds, but
why is Marlboro your favorite filter cigarette?"
"V\Te are glad you asked that question, Shorty," they replied.
"Marlboro is our favorite filter cigarette because we, native sons
and daughters of the wide open spaces, want a cigarette that is
frank and forthright and honest. We want, in short, Marlboro."
"Oh, thank you, all," I cried and, donning a muu muu, I set
sail for Hawaii, because in Hawaii, as in every state where Old
Glory flies, Marlboro is the leading seller in flip-top box. On
campus, off campus, in all fifty states, wherever people smoke for
pleasure in this great land of ours, you will find Marlboro.

And you will also find another winner from the makers of

America is a great country. America's cities are full of houses.
America's forests are full of trees. America's rivers are full of
water. But it is not houses and trees and water that make
America great; it is curiosity-the constant quest to find
answers-the endless, restless "\Vhy?" "Why?" "Why?".
Therefore when I was told that Marlboro was a top seller
at college~,from usc to Yale, I was not coiltent merely to
accept thisgratifying fact, I had to find out why.
I hied myself to campuses in every sector of this mighty land.
First, I went to the Ivy League-dressed, of course, in an
appropriate costume: a skull-and-bones in one hand, a triangle
in the other, a mask-and-wig on my head, a hasty pudding in
my chops. "Sir," I cried, seizing an Ivy Leaguer by the lapels,
which is no mean task considering the narrowness of Ivy League
lapels, but, I, fortunately, happen to have little tiny hands; in
fact, I spent the last war working in a small arms plant where, I
,am proud to say, I was awarded a Navy "E" for excellence and
won many friends-"Sir," I cried, seizing an Ivy Leaguer by the
lapels, "how come Marlboro is your favorite filter cigarette?"

Marxism Talk
about the inability of democ­racy?
Chief Justice Oliver Holmes
rightly asserted that the force
of truth will win in the free
market of ideas. An active
functioning democracy respect­ing
our constitutional liberty is
the weapon of our society
against communism. But the
price of our democratic free­doms
comes high. It demands
awareness, it demands educa­tion,
it demands knowledge of
the whole spectrum of political,
cuI t u I' a 1 and humanitarian
thinking, it demands that we
run the risk of listening to all
voices. This is our pride, our
strength and our most solemn
commitment. Only in freedom
can the rich promise of a demo­cratic
government fertilize into
a reality.
By THOMAS TIERNEY
"Conformity is the jailer of
freedom and the destroyer of
hope." President Kennedy used
these d I' a mat i c words last
month in his address to the
United Nations. These were not
mere oratorical phrases, but a
truth whose power is inherent.
It was an indictment on com­munist
conformity, on the So­viet
Union's enslaving of all
eastern Europe. But are we m
the United States guilty of the
same vice?
. Tradition of Tolerance
Our American tradition says
no. Our record of tolerance IS
clear. The attempt early m o~r
history to pass A'1ien and SedI­tion
acts brought strong reac­tion,
and people generally have
resisted attempts to label as
disloyal the critics with unpop­ular
and minority views. No
less a personage than Thomas
Jefferson called for toleration of
those with political opinion that
even threatened the existence
of the new American republic. Sodalists of Our Lady of

Much has been claimed and
much denied about. the "con­servative
revival." It has been
said of it that it "could become
the political phenomenon of our
time," and that it is "exagger­ated
and misunderstood." I shall
:-lot now attempt to assess its
strength and organization; I
would, however, like to add my
vo:ce to the din and try to
plumb some of its causes and
characters.
Revival
Ccnservatism has needed such
a revival for a long time. Its
death knell began to toll when
F.D,R. assumed the reins of
leadership in 1933. His election
was the crest of a wave that
had begun with Teddy "Trust­Buster"
Roosevelt, gathered im­petus
with Woodrow "He-Kept­Us-
Out-of-War" Wilson: Since
1933, F.D.R.'s policies have been
continued and extended with
few interruptions through eaoh
succeeding administration, not
excepting that of Mr. Eisen­howe
r. Now a n ideological
grandson of F.D.R. directs this
country's energies. John F. Ken­nedy
is committed to the ex­pansion
of federal power and
the consequent reduction of
state's-rights; he is dedicated to
the proposition that peaceful
co-existence is the answer to
the Cold War (Hot Peace?).
And at this unlikely point, that
bell seems to have stopped
sounding, conservatism seems
to be very much alive again.
Why?
The Answer
I think the answers are many
and complex. The liberals tell
me that men who can't cope
with the knptty problems of
our world - gone - mad see an
escape, an easy way 'out, in the
return to the Good Old Days
supposedly offered by conserv­'
atism. I'm sure this is true, just
as I'm sure that many more
people of the same stripe see
the same escape in liberalism's
cozy answer, "Only the Govern­ment
can do it."
Why, then, is conservatism
beginning once more to appeal
to the realistic man of intellect,
the man with a sense of history?

After a most successful intra­mural
football season, the job
of picking an All-Star team was
undertaken. At a meeting of the
captains, twelve men were pick­ed
as the 1961 Fairfield Univer­sity
Intramural All-Stars. Lead­ing
the so-called "A N I MAL

Fairfield University's 1961-62 Basketball Team ap­pears
stronger than last year's 17-7 squad, prllimarily
because almost everyone of limportance is back, and
last year's sophomores received some much needed
expemence throughout :the season. Nelson Grillo and

Ooach George l?isacoa's front line, having already
shown Itheir ability on last yea'r's rreshman team.
Coach George Bisacoa's malin problem this yeaT
has been filling the center spot, left Viaoant by the
graduation of llast year's oaptain, A!rt Crawford. In
prachcehe has alternated Frank McAnulty, 6'7" junior,

Grillo or McAnulty will start along with senior back­courtman,
Mike Tou1hey, 5'11", Captain Bobby Jenkins,
5'7", 'and junior forward Bob Hutter, 6'4" and Nick
M1aoaTchuk, 6'4".
The four star,ters 'returning from 1ast yea1r's team,
Jenkins, Touhey, Hutter and Macarchuk 'all averaged
in double figures during the 1960-61 season. Hutter with
17 p.p.g., and Maoarcbuk Wlith 15 p.p.g. formed one of
the highest sooTling frontcourts 'in New England l'ast
yeaT. Hutter, in the process, set a new season sooring
reoord for the Stags. MacaI'chuk was the team's lead­ing
rebounder and second in scoring.
Fairfield has been picked to take their third consecu­tive
Tri-State'llitle and in the process, increase thei'r 17
game league winning st'reak. The StHgS should en­counter
the most trouble from an !improved L. 1. U.

Turning to independent teams on the Stag sched­ule,

Stags are at a major disadvantage in these games be­oause
they are ,aU away games.
Except for Providence, the Stags could easily up­set
the other four. The 'Outcome of the Georgetown
gameWlill be 'a ya'rdstick in predicting how Fairfield
will do against the otheT four and for that matter the

The Coptic liturgy is a form (To be continued)
of the original Greek liturgy of
Alexandria; it is celebrated in
Coptic (the ancient Egyptian
language, now long dead), with
a number of Greek phrases and
some vernacular Arabic, whose
use tends to increase. It has
three anaphoras, of which the
principal one is called "of St.
Basil."
A Coptic church, when prop­erly
built, is distinguished by
a wooden screen across the
sanctuary, often of lattice work,
with a central door that is open
throughout the service; some­times
the church is further di­vided
by other similar screens.
But the Catholic churches are
usually plain rectangles, very
p 0 v e I' t Y- stricken. The altar
"stone" is of wood. The Coptic
laity take a specially active part
in their services, knowing much
of them by heart; but among
Catholics, when the Liturgy is
not sung, most of it is said (im­properly)
in an inaudible voice,
though practice at "low Mass"
is not uniform. Cymbals and
triangles, and ·occasionally the
flute, are allowed to mark the
rhythm of the chant.
Ethiopian Church
About half the very mixed
papulation of Ethiopa is Chris­tian,
forming an ancient na­tional
church that is not now
in communication with Rome.
There is a very smarU body of
Catholics, of whom three-fifths,
some 30,000 souls, mostly in
Eritrea, are of the local Ethiopic
rite.
This derives from Alexandria
(whence Ethiopa was evangel­ized
in the 4th century), and is
a form of the Coptic liturgy. Its
language, however, is Ge'ez, the
long dead Semitic tongue which
has developed into the vernac­ular
of today, principally Am­haric
and Tigray. It has a num­ber
of anaphoras, of which the
one most commonly used is
caNed "of the Apostles," and
is of very ancient ·origin.
Church Design
Many Ethiopian churches are
round, divided by walls into
three concentric circles, with
the altar in the middle; but
those of the Catholics are rect­angular
and open, and generally
very poor. The liturgy is com-

"Philosophy is like an apple," we are told by a popular
metaphysics manual currently used here. The analogy is used
to show the difficulty of penetrating its surface and the rewards
which compensate for that difficulty (the sweet fruit beneath the
surface). Perhaps there is more to the comparison than these two
points of similarity.
Examine the apple. What is it, really?
many, therefore a genus of fruit and not
fruits available to man. There are pears which are sweeter,
lemons more sour, berries smaller, pineapples and prickly pears
more thorny and more work but also more enjoyable, mangos
and avacados more exotic and interesting, watermelons larger,
bananas softer, and grapes of more cultured use than apples.
The apple itself comes in a variety of species, some more
sweet, sour, hard or soft than others and some quite similar.
Essentially, they are all apples. One is as good as another and
it is usually one's own taste that chooses between them. There
is no ultimate apple! Aside from incidental by-products, the
activity performed in digesting these varying species of apples
results in a similar effect in each case. The basic desire for
apple has been satisfied.
An apple is related not only to other fruits and other apples
but also to the stem which held it, the tree from which it grew,
the ground out of which it gained sustenance and to which it
has fallen, If it has not fallen, it bears a relation to the hand
that picked it, the hand that washed it, the teeth that devoured
it, the thing into which it was assimilated, and on and on. I
The apple was once a part of the tree. But now, fallen and
rotting on the ground or awaiting mastication in a fruit bowl,
it is no longer connected to the tree. The vital element which
made it one with that tree no longer flows through the stem
no longer vitalizes every cell within it. The apple does not sus­tain
itself after its separation. The tree, however, remams essen­tially
unchanged. It has lost nothing it cannot replace with time, IBy DALE McNULTY

Marvmount Day ~ w
On Broadway
T. S. Eliot, the renowned poet, ,
dramatist and critic, lectured at
Wolsey Auditorium of Yale Col­lege.
Eliot entitled the lecture
"A Critic Looks At His Criti­cism",
considering his past work,
"in the light of about twenty
years."
The aging poet appeared al­most
apologetic for some of his
most-quoted remarks, which he
felt, "Were meant at the time,
but which more learning and ex­perience
have changed." Eliot
described the critic best-ac­quainted
with any work as the
"creative" critic, one who has
written himself.
"I would call the most valid
of my criticisms that work
which influenced me most. Any
criticism of works which I may
not have liked, you may dis­count."
Mr. Eliot went on to de­scribe
the influences on his own
work including Donne, (whom
Eliot takes little credit for "re­viving"),
Sam u e 1 J 0 ill n son,
Pound, (my spiritual father"),
and the Elizabethan dramatists,
Marlowe and Green.
To close the lecture, Eliot re­iterated,
"I'm a creative critic,
one whose only valid criticism
is of those works that have in­fluenced
me. I have no regrets,
but only apologies for some past
e s say s. Age modifies one's
views."
