The Senior Class and the Bell­armine
Guild were co-sponsors
of a political depate held Janu­ary
8 in Gonzaga Auditorium.
This was the first in a series of
debates to be presented by these
groups during the coming
months.
The participants in the debate
which concerned itself with "The
Problems of America and Their
Solutions" took views which can
be classified as Liberal vs. Con­servative.
The liberal was Mr.
James Weschler, editor of the
New York Post. The conserva­tive
side was defended by Mr.
Frank S. Meyer, the senior edi­tor
of the National Review.
Dr. John'Norman of the Uni­versity
faculty served as the
moderator for the debate which

Recovering from what the '61 MAr'~OR. (I'm sure h~­morously)
termed "a rather turbulent penod In the STAS; s
history," has been the prime occupation of the staff .dur~ng
the past year. It has been .ou~ inten~ion, by the, IllstltutlOn
of a staff training program III Journahs.m: to prOVide a ~ew~­paper
which reads like one: lea.ving opllll~n~tlng and edlton­alizing
out of our news reporting and wlthlll the confines of
such columns as this one. It is our hope that we have suc­ceeded
in surpassing the Student Handbook's vision of what
a University newspaper should be ("a record of past events
and reporting of future ones") by the institution of a feature
department whose columns have provided reading which is
both informative and provocative. .
In accomplishing these ends I have been. bles~ed with. an
editorial board and staff for whose generosity, III devoting
time and initiative to this paper, I am deeply grateful.. It. is
my sincere hope that at sometime in the f~ture,. edlt~:mal
boards of the Fairfield University newspaper wIll receive either
scholarship or academic privilege in recognition of the ti~e
they must devote to the publication of a paper of such size
and complexity as this one.
Among the many, many others who have h~lped to
make the STAG a reality this year are: James F. HIll, who
served as my News Editor during those first turbulent months,
employing his professional newspaper experience to the over­all
betterment of the paper; Ernest J. Webby, Jr., the first
STAG Reporter of the Year; Mr. Frederick W. Tartaro, Di­rector
of the University Public Relations Office, whose pro­fessional
aid and advice were always generously given; Mr.
Stephen Veroczi, Ma.naging Editor of the Fairfield !OWN
CRIER who with hiS competent staff rescued many down­to-
the-~ire" editions for us; and Rev. William H. Hohmann,
S.J., without whose loyalty and interest, none of this could
have been accomplished. MTK

The episodes were interlaced by
choral odes sung by members of
the University's Glee Club.
These odes, written as an exact
reproduction of Greek choral
music, were composed by Pro­fessor
John L. Bonn, Sr" for a
performance of "Oedipus" di­rected
by the 91 year old vir­tuoso's
son, Fr. Bonn, at Boston
College, At that time, Ronald
Weyand, recently of "Becket"
fame, starred as Oedipus.
Several works of artist Bernard

In Missouri, or anywhere else, there is no compromise with
quality in Marlboro or the new unfiltered king-size Philip
Morris Commander. The Commander does something new
in cigarette making-gently vacuum cleans the tobacco for
flavor and mildness. Get aboard! You'll be welcome.
Are you still writing "1961" on your papers and letters? I'll
bet you are, you scamps! But I am not one to be harsh with
those who forget we are in a new year, for I myself have long
been guilty of the same lapse. In fact, in my senior year at
college, I wrote 1873 on my papers until nearly November of
l874! (It turned out, incidentally, not to be such a serious
error because, as we all know, 1874 was later repealed by
President Chester A. Arthur in a fit of pique over the Black
Tom Explosion. And, as we all know, Mr. Arthur later came
to regret his hasty action. Who does not recall that famous
meeting between Mr. Arthur and Louis Napoleon when Mr.
Arthur said, "Lou, I wish I hadn't of repealed 1874." Where­upon
the French emperor made his immortal rejoinder, "Tipi
que nous et tyler tu." Well sir, they had many a good laugh
about that, as you can imagine.) .
But I digress. How can we remember to write 1962 on our
papers and letters? Well sir, the best way is to find something
memorable about 1962, something unique to fix it firmly in
your mind. Happily, this is very simple because, as we all know,
1962 is the first year in history that is divisible by 2, by 4, and
by 7. Take a pencil and try it: 1962 divided by 2 is 981; 1962
divided by 4 is 490-1/2; 1962 divided by 7 is 280-2/7.This mathe­matical
curiosity will not occur again until the year 2079, but
we will all be so busy then celebrating the Chester A. Arthur
bi-centenary that we will scarcely have time to be writing
papers and letters and like that.
Another clever little trick to fix the year 1962 in your mind
is to remember that 1962 spelled backwards is 2691. "Year"
spelled backwards is "raey." "Marlboro" spelled backwards is
"oroblram." Marlboro smoked backwards is no fun at all.
Kindly do not light the filter. What you do is put the filter end
in your lips, then light the tobacco end, then draw, and then
find out what pleasure, what joy, what rapture serene it is to
smoke the filter cigarette with the unfiltered taste. In 1962, as
in once and future years, you'll get a lot to like in a Marlboro­available
in soft pack and flip-top box in all 50 states and
Duluth.
But I digress. We were speaking of the memorable aspects
of 1962 and high among them, of course, is the fact that in
1962 the entire House of Representatives stands for election.
There will, no doubt, be many lively and interesting contests,
but none, I'll wager, quite so lively and interesting as the one
in my own district where the leading candidate is none other
than Chester A. Arthur!
Mr. Arthur, incidentally, is not the first ex-president to come
out of retirement and run for the House of Representatives.
John Quincy Adams was the first. Mr. Adams also holds
another distinction: he was the first son of a president ever to
serve as president. It is true that Martin Van Buren's son,
Walter "Blinky" Van Buren, was at one time offered the nomi­nation
for the presidency, but he, alas, had already accepted
a bid to become Mad Ludwig of Bavaria. James K. Polk's son,
on the other hand, became Salmon P. Chase. Millard Fill­more's
son went into air conditioning. This later was known as
the Missouri Compromise. © 1962 Max Shulman

Neu) Exam Week
To allow for the complications
which this proposal would pose
for large classes and examina­tions
the committee suggested
that s u c h examinations be
scheduled on one evening dur­ing
the last week of class. One
of the major goals of this plan
would be to alleviate the prob­lems
inyolved in scheduling the
examinations as they are done
at the present time.
Student Council Gains
Power At Gonzaga U.
Spokane. Wash. - (I.P.) ­Budgeting
of the $32,000 student
activity fee in the hands of a
student board of control this
year at Gonzaga University "un­questionably
is one of the most
significant advances in the pro­gress
of the ASGU since its es­tablishment,"
according to Ed
Haasl, Association Students
president. Budgeting of the fee
was formerly performed by a
faculty board.
Commenting on the move, the
Rev. John P. Leary, S.J., presi­dent,
said that it will introduce
the student body to shouldering
some of the university's bur­dens.
They can never learn to
make them unless they assume
initiative, he said, referring to
judgments made by the students
themselves. He described the
move as a "vote of confidence
in favor of the students."
Father Leary also announced
that he would cut in half the
figures which the board of con­trol
recommended for the allot­ing
of scholarships to major
student body officers. The only
major exception to this, he said,
will be the student body presi­dent
who will receive a $600
full year tuition scholarship as
recommended by the board. The
following scholarships will be
reduced by one half: 1st vice
president, $300; 2nd vice presi­dent,
$300; secretary, $150; trea­surer,
$150.

Lay people receive Communion
'n one kind only; the church
appointments and altar vessels
are also thoroughly westernized.
This external westernization has
been the occasion for some
sharp criticism, but when Ma­ronite
history is taken into con­sideration,
it would have been
somewhat surprising had litur­gical
development been other­wise.
The Maronites are one of the
two booies of Eastern Catholics
who have a uniform way of
celebrating "low Mass," which,
however, normally involves the
use of incense and of some sing­ing.
Of their eight anaphoras, a
more recent one in very com­mon
use is called "of the Holy
Roman Church," in which the
consecration is modeled on that
()of the Western rite. The people
kneel for most of the so-called
"low Mass".

By ERNEST A. WEBBY, JR.
(Fifth in a series)
Like Egypt, Syria became
largely Mohammedan after the
Arab invasion in the sevenfth
century; but it was not to such
a degree as in Egypt, and there
are today nearly a million na­tive
Christians in Syria, and
half are Catholics.
These native Syrian Catholics
follow different rites - "pure"
Syrian, Maronite or Byzantine
(the Melkites). The first of these
is often called West Syrian, to
distinguish it from the E'ast
Syrian or Chaldean rite. It is
used by small bodies of Catho­lics
not only in Syria and Pales­tine,
but also in Iraq and in
India (the Maloankarese), and
also by the separated Jacobite
Syrian Church in those coun­tries.
Syrian Rites
The original form of this li­turgy
at Antioch, called "of St.
James," was modified for use in
Jerusalem, and this modified
form then supplanted its par­ent
at Antioch, and was a
source of the Byzantine, Ar­menian
and perhaps Chaldean
liturgies. At first in Greek, it is
now celebrated in Syriac (Le., a
dialect of Aramaic, the mother
tongue of Our Lord Jesus
Chri9t), with· the western pro­nunciation
and characters: scrip­tural
lessons and some prayers
are in Arabic wherever this is
the vernacular language, and in
India all the pre-anaphoral part
is in Malayaloaffi.
There are seven anaphoras in
Catholic use. The one called
"'Of St. John the Evangelist" is
used on ordinary Sundays and
weekdays. The sanctuary of the
church is usuaUy separated from
the choir and nave by a screen,
either open or solid, having
three doors; normally there are
no pictures on it, and sometimes
there is no screen at all.
This and the Maronite liturgy
have a special interest as being
in some sense the eucharistic
service proper to Our Lord's
earthly homeland. In one inaud­ible
prayer the celebrant prays
for the "holy universal Church,
especially for Zion (Jerusalem),
mother of aU the churches."
There are said to be 6,000 Catho­Ircs
of this rite in the United
States, but they have few or no
priests of their own and no
churches.
Maronites Unique
The Maronites are a section
of the Syri'an people who live
mostly in and around the Le­banon
Mountains, and have a
seoarate history bound up with
the history of their church. They
are all Catholics, and form the
~ie:e:est sine:le Christian body in
Syria, numbering a third of a
million. They have considerable
colonies in the United States
and South America.
Their litugry is derived from
the same origins as ,the Syrian
liturgy. and this form is not
used by any non~Catholics. Its
lane:ual!e is the same liturgical
Syriac, but the lessons and many
of the hymns. prayers and re-sponses
are in the vernacular ATTENTION
Araibic, a practice which is on Hereafter any kind of student

few intelligent laymen to speak for the Church. Anyone who
tries is met with opposition from both clergy and other laymen.
"Leave the work of the Church to those whom it concerns" they
say. But the work of the Church is not just for the sp~cia~ists;
it is for every member of the Mystical Body. The mlsgUlded,
though probably well-intentioned, who argue .o~herwise .s~ould
be reminded that the Church is not just the ViSible admInIstra­tive
organization, but the broader community of all members,
working toward the common goal of salvation.
Worse than evil done by those who oppose lay action in the
Church are those laymen who possess the talents and capacities
to help but will not do so because of opposition. Afraid of not
being ~ccepted and not having their efforts immediately praised,
these men do nothing. They are even more to be blamed than
their secular counterparts. But they only can initiate personal
action. No one will do it for them.
It is evident that there is a need for Catholic intellectuals
to add the firm principles of morality and charity to the thinking
of the world which has lost them. The objections of "mixing"
one's religion with worldly concerns are shallow. Self-pride and
fear of setbacks from within as well as from without are no valid
excuses for replacing action with inertia. There is no other path
than action if we believe in our Church and in our God.

significant portion of this pro­gram

the National Science Foundation

secondary school teachers. The
department will also offer a
course in the chemical bond ap­proach
to chemistry during this
oustanding sequential program
encompassing the most pertinent
aspects of secondary school
science and mathematics educa­tion.
Research Opportunities
In the new curriculum, chem­istry
majors will continue to be
given an opportunity to do re­search
under a program which
is currently supported by the
National Science Foundation and
by direct participation in the
personal research of the depart­ment
faculty. In this way, the
students not only can get experi­ence
but can obtain stipends as
well.
In addition to the chemistry
courses, majors take requisite
courses in the related depart­ments
of mathematics, physics,
and modern languages. The stu­dents
also benefit from the best
of the liberal arts tradition for
which Jesuit schools are famous.

had received their doctorates,
began post-doctoral studies at
Harvard and Princeton.
The other half of Fairfield's
graduates go directly into area
industry or into our secondary
schools as science teachers.
Although the University's
chemistry facilities were consid­ered
adequate a few years ago,
the burgeoning instructional and
research program has created
needs that were among those
considered when the Very Rev.
James E. FitzGerald, S.J., Presi­d2nt,
recently announced a 10
million dollar construction pro­gram,
including a new science
building..
Science Curriculum
In Fairfield's experimental
program for the first year, lec­ture
work stresses basic chemic­al
theory, and the laboratory in­volves
the type of qualitative
and quantitative analysis which
used to be part of second year
studies.
Organic chemistry is given in
the second year and places its
emphasis on the types of chem­ical
bonds and reactions of con­cern
to much of modern indus­try
and medicine. The course is
heavily dosed with reaction me­chanisms
which explain the why
and how of what has taken
place.
In the third year, Father
Healy said, students will still
study physical chemistry but the
course has been changed, as
much of its former content has
been moved to first year. The
course being given is based on
fundamental atomic and mole­cular
structure and is often sta­tistical
in approach. Also during
junior year, students will take
qualitative 0 I' g ani c analysis
which has been improved to in­clude
electronic devices such as
infrared and ultra-violet spec­trophotometers.
Local Industry Aids
The vital nature of this prac­tical
application to the area is
illustrated by the fact that the
Perkin - Elmer Corporation of
Norwalk, Connecticut, is a world
leader in spectrophotometry.
Quantitative analysis has been
upgraded to the last half of third
year so it can draw on cumulat­ed
knowledge and experience
and furnish the professional ap­proach
desired by chemical in­dustry
rather than be a routine
course better fitted to the tech­nician.
The chemistry majors, who
take about fifty credits in their
field, do not stop with what has
been already described but study
four one-semester courses in
their senior year. These are
chemical instrumentation and
advanced courses in inorganic,
organic, and physical chemistry.
A few years ago such subjects
were considered normal for
graduate school and yet the ma­terial
to be included will actual­ly
be more up-tO-date than what
was given in courses previously
offered in graduate school. The
chemical instrumentation course
involves laboratory and lecture
work in the use of radiation
methods, emission spectorscopy
(given with the cooperation of
Bridgeport Brass), quantitative
methods of absorption spectro­photometry,
polarography, and
various aspects of electrochem­istry.
The equipment assembled for
the instrumentation course will

U.S. and the U.N. to build a
democratic government in the
Congo, around the only man in
power there who has s'poken out
for our side, the president of
the richest cobalt (as in "Cobait
Bomb") producing area in the
world. No, friend. It just didn't
happen. The cries went up
from the U.N.: Katanga is un­::

where white and Afrie-an

minimum of violence and ten­sion.)

Off and on since Sep­tember,
the U.N. has tried again
and again and has not yet suc­ceeded,
again fortunately. Mean­while,
a group of "soldiers"
from the central government,
fleeing from the rifles of Ka­tanga
troops, ran into 15 or 20

women, raped them, in
the sight of their children, and
continued in their flight; on the
other side of the Congo, in
Kindu, a contingent from Gi­zenga's
Red-backed army tor­tured
and killed 13 Italian air­men.
When will this farce stop?
When will the West stop com­mitting
suicide in Africa? When
will we stop calling a conglom­eration
of savage, primitive
tr]bes with no social or cultural
ties an "emerging nation"? That
time will come when the United
States starts recognizing its ob­iectives
and acting to realize
them, and stops putting all its
hop for the future in a U.N.
whose Security Council is para­lyzed
by Russia's veto, whose
General Assembly is a mob
scene of frenzied emotionalism
dominated by the emerging
statesmen of a score of "neu­tral"
nations, each of whose
populations is given a vote
equal to that of the 180 million
citizens of the United States.

By MICHAEL LAWHENCE
President Kennedy before the
United Nations General Assem­bly,
September 25:
"Were we to let (the U.N.)
die . . . we would condemn
the future. For in the devel­opment
of this organization
rests the only true alternative
to war."
The committment to com­plete
policy support implicit in
ihis statement of the President
is deserving of careful investi­gation.
Just what has this
country vowed to support? What
action are we bound to take? It
is my opinion that the support
we have given and the actions
we have taken on behalf of the
U.N. have all too often been
·detrimental to us and favorable
to the better interests of the
.Soviet Union. The Congo situa­tion
is a case in point, a flagrant
example of what a realistic view
.of the facts can only reveal as
.stupidity on the part of America.
After tremendous pressure
from the U.N. in general and
the United States in particular,
Belgium gave its colony in the
Congo complete independence,
less than two years ago. A two­beaded
monster of a government
was set up, composed of Presi­dent
Joseph' Kasavubu, who,
although a comparative moder­ate
is to speak kindly of him,
ineffedtual; ""and Premier Patrice
Lumumba - need I comment
on his background? This was
what the U.N. calls a "broadly
based government." The inevit­able
happened. In the struggle
for power between President
and Premier, the Red-lining Lu­mumba
got the upper hand, and
the influx of Soviet "technici­ans"
began. But a corporal in
the Congolese Army, Joseph
Mobutu, somehow managed to
make himself a colonel, take
over command of the armed
forces. im'Orison Lumumba, boot
out the Soviets and establish
himself as the "strong-man" in
the Congo. Then he sat back
and watched his muscles shrink,
as Lumumba underwent a ser­ies
of arrests and escapes, cul­minating
in his murder
hardly just retribution after the
scores of rapes arid kiHings his
henchmen had committed while
he was in Dower. Lumumba's
successor as -African end of the
Communist telephone wires is
Antoine Gizenga. whose armies
now control Oriental province,
and who so far has not seen his
troops even once halted by the
rae:-tae: army of the central gov­ernment.
A new government has been
set up, with Premier Cyrille
Adoula, a neutralist in the tra­dition
of Sukarno, Tito and
Nasser at its head. It would
seem that the West has little,
if any footing in the Congo.
But, lo! The voice cryeth out
in the wilderness! Moise
Tshombe, president of Katanga
province proclaims that he can­not
stomach the Congo chaos,
the strongly Communist-influ­enced
central government; he
announces that his prlilvince,
the only stable one, the only
pro-Western one in the nation,
is seceding from the Republic

University's five-point drinking
plan has worked out very fav­orably,
according to Dean of

the statement at a meeting of
the administration, student go'v­ernment
heads and local tavern

gathering was to go over the
plan again with the owners.
The five points are:
1. Excessive use of alcohol
is not condoned under the social
policy of the University, and
undesirable conduct resulting
therefrom will be subject to dis­ciplinary
action.
2. Use or possession of alco­holic
beverages is not permit­ted
on University property nor

NSF Math Group
Hears Prof. I{.line
Professor Morris Kline of the
Courant Institute of Mathema­tical
Sciences lectured Saturday,
Dec. 9th, to the National Science
Foundation Math group at Fair­i
field University. Dr. John Ba­rone,
director of the In-Service
Institute and Professor Robert
E. Bolger of the math depart­ment,
represented the faculty.
Professor Kline has been an
outspoken critic of the programs
offered by various study groups
(such as Yale's S M S G-School
Math Study Group) which at­tempt
to correct the deficiencies
in the secondary level math cur-riculum-
by introducing courses
in modern mathematics.
However, he suggests certain
revisions in the present curricu­lum
to modernize it. His most
recent criticism of modern math
study groups was given wide
coverage in the New York Times
'and discussed in full by the
Alumni Bulletin of New York
University. In a subsequent re­joinder
by Professor Paul Rosen­bloom
of the University of Min­nesota,
who endorses the "new
mathematics" being introduced
in the high schools, Dr. Kline is
.:riticized for not offering an al­ternative
program. Dr. Kline
was then told by Professor Ros­enbloom
to "put up or shut up."
Since joining the NYU faculty
in 1930, Dr. Kline has sought ­with
widely acclaimed success­.
to humanize the teaching of ma­ihematics
and to transmit to his
::;tudents the larger significance
of the great mathematical crea­tions.
He is author of "Mathe­matics
in Western Culture,"
"Mathematics in the Physical
World," and numerous research
and expository articles and co­author
of a text used at more
than 100 colleges. His writings
also have appeared in the "Sat­urday
Evening Post" and other
popular publications. He has
been a Guggenheim fellow and
a Fulbright lecturer in Germany
and has spent two years in re­3earch
at the Institute for Ad­vanced
Study, Princeton, N.J.
