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.

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 By JOHN L. BONN. S.J.

(Author of "Rally Round The Flag, Boys", "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis", etc,) 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 Page Four Jan. 12, 1962 THE STAG DORM RISING A steel reinforced concrete skeleton is slowly approaching the final silhouette of the new, and as yet unnamed, dormitory on the Fairfield University campus.

Page Five Oregon-Considers 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.

The Bishop has attended or taught at Fordham, Gregorian College in Rome, Catholic University in Washington, and the diocesan seminary in Arlington, N.J. Bishop Curtis expressed his belief of the importance of the University and the Prep in the young diocese. The Church "relies (on the University) to carry forth Catholic thought." The Drelate spoke of the need of an intelligent lay influence in Connecticut society for the spread of Christianity. Then, refering to Rev. James Fitzgerald, S.J.. president of Fairfield, and Father Rector's preceeding introductory remarks, His Excellency humorously noted that all exits were blocked by the student crowd; "... it is advisable to grant a holiday." This statement launched sustained applause. Father Fitzgerald. mentioned that the Bishop's repute as a scholar might hurt the chances for any holidays, but that the students could "hope and pray." Noting the Rector's mention of the plural for the vacation periods. Bishop Curtis immediately granted two days off. Louis Zowine '62, president of the Student Council. extended brief greetings to the newlyinstalled Bishop. Mr. Zowine stated that the importance of the "initial formulation" of the young diocese. Pledging the University student body to loyal obedience and prayers for the Bishop's personal success, he assured the Bishop of "immense" aid now and in the future from the school. Mr. Zowine was preceeded by the greeting extended on behalf of the Prep by the president of the Senior Class. The Glee Club sang at the opening and closing of the program. example, altar breads are unleavened and just the same as in the Latin rite, and the 1)riest's vestments are now practically those of the Latin rite. 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". (To Be Continued) 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 the increase.

Page Nine BARONE (Continued from Page I) reproduction which are abnomally great in the case of cancer cells. Dr. Barone has received over $25,000 in grants from the National Cancer Institute and National Science Foundation in less than thI'ee years. He is being assisted in the National Cancer Institute project by junior chemistry major, Richard Link of Fairfield. Participating in the National Science Foundation grant this year are two other university chemistry majors, Daniel Grosner ·of Stratford and Vincent Cav·alieri, of Bayshore, N.Y., who will receive part-tuiJtion awards. This work is also in the field of cancer chemotherapy, but the new compounds being studied in this case are aimed at interfering with the action of vitamins. The scientific value of the work has been recognized by the publication of three articles in the Journal of Organic Chemistry and the presentation of a paper the American Chemical Society's Division of Medicinal Chemistry last September. ASPECT (Continued from Page 2) 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. be made available to the University's program for local science and mathematics teachers. A significant portion of this program is currently supported by the National Science Foundation as an in-service institute for 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. THE STAG OHEM PROGRAM (Continued from Page 1) 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 world-Liberal thinking would be inclined to applaud and say that here is the chance for the 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:: leI' the control of the greedy Belgian capitalists of the Union Miniere! (fact - Wall Street bankers report that U.S. interests now own controlling shares in the mines of Katanga.); Tshombe's army is run by white Belgian mercenaries! (fact the 12 Belgian officers that were still left in the Congo after last summer have all gone home; there are only 150 foreign "mercenaries" remaining in the entire Katanga army.); Tshombe is trying to return white rule to the Congo! (fact - Katanga is the only province in the country where white and Afrie-an are living side by side with a minimum of violence and tension.) In spite of the facts, the U.N., with the support of the United States - remember those little girls who went around Halloween night collecting money for UNICEF to help poor and hungry children all over the world? Well, the U.N. is borrowing money from UNICIDF to help finance. its Congo operations. invaded Katanga in September, intending to place in power one Egide Bochely-Davidson, who, says Sen. Thomas Dodd, has been reliably identified as "an agent of the Soviet Secret Police." Fortunately, the well-disciplined soldiers of Katanga were alble to beat back the invaders. 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 (so say the newspapers) European 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. That time wiH come, brother, when Niagara falls. 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 of the Congo.

Indoor social events, sponsored by student organizations, must be confined to the housing units and University facilities. For any use of other facilities, such as "teas" in local taverns, official permission must be granted by the personnel deans. Procedure to gain permission is to contact the establishment owner to arrange a date and have it approved at least three days in advance of the function by the dean. There is no "approved list" of bars in Athens, according to Dean Butler. A function may be held in any bar within the Athens city limits, excepting a few private halls such as the Armory, which are not approved. 5. Use or possession of alcoholic beverages is prohibited at outdoor social events which are sponsored by student organizations.

He made the statement at a meeting of the administration, student go'vernment heads and local tavern owners. The purpose of the 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 on. the premises of living units of students. "We have been severe enough on students so they know not to take liquor into the dorms," Dean Butler commented. 3. "Use of alcohol beverages by individuals in off-campus establi~hments is governed and controlled by the laws of the State of Ohio. Ohio Univ. 5-Point Drinking Plan Worked Out Favorabl.y 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.

This program would include talks to explain the activities and importance of the Alumni Association. In other news concerning aJ.umni, Rev. George S. Mahan, S.J., faculty advisor to the Alumni, announced that he has received many calls from the Alumni offering their aid and knowledge to undergraduates. This would be in the form of conferences at which Alumni would outline the problems and advantages which they found upon graduation. Each Alumnus would speak to students interested in the field in which he is currently employed. Father Mahan said that he is awaiting some response from students or student organizations. On and Off the Campus Nina Derman Guests For Drama Society Miss Nina Derma!1 was guest speaker at the Drama Society weekly Workshop meeting. Miss I Derman, who has appeared in I local theatricals spoke on "The Benefits of Community Theater." Immediately following, an informal discussion on acting technique and experience was held. Besides her acting experience with the Polka Dot Playhouse as Mame Dennis in the famous "Auntie Mame" and her portrayal of the lead characters in "Plain and Fancy," "Detective Story," "The Rainmaker," and "Camino Real," she has directed the play "Life With Father" for Polka Dot. Miss Derman, at present, is studying at the American Shakespeare Academy of Stratford; has conducted acting classes as a member of the Silvennine Guild of New Canaan; and is a Director for Adult Cultural Activity in Bridgeport. The Workshop is comprised of all those students interested in reaming all aspects of play production. It has been a successful substitute for the Society which was unable to stage a play this semester. William Ndini.

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.

(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 Page Four Jan. 12, 1962 THE STAG DORM RISING A steel reinforced concrete skeleton is slowly approaching the final silhouette of the new, and as yet unnamed, dormitory on the Fairfield University campus. Progress has been rapid in spite of adverse weather. The new building will house approximately 200 students on the top three floors. It is scheduled for completion by September. LEFT.

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.

The Bishop has attended or taught at Fordham, Gregorian College in Rome, Catholic University in Washington, and the diocesan seminary in Arlington, N.J. Bishop Curtis expressed his belief of the importance of the University and the Prep in the young diocese. The Church "relies (on the University) to carry forth Catholic thought." The Drelate spoke of the need of an intelligent lay influence in Connecticut society for the spread of Christianity. Then, refering to Rev.

Pledging the University student body to loyal obedience and prayers for the Bishop's personal success, he assured the Bishop of "immense" aid now and in the future from the school.

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". (To Be Continued) 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 the increase.

Dr. Barone has received over $25,000 in grants from the National Cancer Institute and National Science Foundation in less than thI'ee years. He is being assisted in the National Cancer Institute project by junior chemistry major, Richard Link of Fairfield. Participating in the National Science Foundation grant this year are two other university chemistry majors, Daniel Grosner ·of Stratford and Vincent Cav·alieri, of Bayshore, N.Y., who will receive part-tuiJtion awards. This work is also in the field of cancer chemotherapy, but the new compounds being studied in this case are aimed at interfering with the action of vitamins. The scientific value of the work has been recognized by the publication of three articles in the Journal of Organic Chemistry and the presentation of a paper the American Chemical Society's Division of Medicinal Chemistry last September. ASPECT (Continued from Page 2) 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. be made available to the University's program for local science and mathematics teachers. A significant portion of this program is currently supported by the National Science Foundation as an in-service institute for 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. THE STAG OHEM PROGRAM (Continued from Page 1) 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 world-Liberal thinking would be inclined to applaud and say that here is the chance for the 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:: leI' the control of the greedy Belgian capitalists of the Union Miniere! (fact - Wall Street bankers report that U.S. interests now own controlling shares in the mines of Katanga.); Tshombe's army is run by white Belgian mercenaries! (fact the 12 Belgian officers that were still left in the Congo after last summer have all gone home; there are only 150 foreign "mercenaries" remaining in the entire Katanga army.); Tshombe is trying to return white rule to the Congo! (fact - Katanga is the only province in the country where white and Afrie-an are living side by side with a minimum of violence and tension.) In spite of the facts, the U.N., with the support of the United States - remember those little girls who went around Halloween night collecting money for UNICEF to help poor and hungry children all over the world? Well, the U.N. is borrowing money from UNICIDF to help finance. its Congo operations. invaded Katanga in September, intending to place in power one Egide Bochely-Davidson, who, says Sen. Thomas Dodd, has been reliably identified as "an agent of the Soviet Secret Police." Fortunately, the well-disciplined soldiers of Katanga were alble to beat back the invaders. 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 (so say the newspapers) European 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. That time wiH come, brother, when Niagara falls. 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 of the Congo.

Indoor social events, sponsored by student organizations, must be confined to the housing units and University facilities. For any use of other facilities, such as "teas" in local taverns, official permission must be granted by the personnel deans. Procedure to gain permission is to contact the establishment owner to arrange a date and have it approved at least three days in advance of the function by the dean. There is no "approved list" of bars in Athens, according to Dean Butler. A function may be held in any bar within the Athens city limits, excepting a few private halls such as the Armory, which are not approved. 5. Use or possession of alcoholic beverages is prohibited at outdoor social events which are sponsored by student organizations. "The entire responsibility for organizing the parties and not letting conduct get out of hand rests with the student," Dean Butler said. ED HEROLD or ED DARDANI INQUIRE NOW!

Prepare for your future security with this unique program ATHENS, O. - (LP.) - Ohio University's five-point drinking plan has worked out very favorably, according to Dean of Men William Butler. He made the statement at a meeting of the administration, student go'vernment heads and local tavern owners. The purpose of the 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 on. the premises of living units of students. "We have been severe enough on students so they know not to take liquor into the dorms," Dean Butler commented. 3. "Use of alcohol beverages by individuals in off-campus establi~hments is governed and controlled by the laws of the State of Ohio. Ohio Univ. 5-Point Drinking Plan Worked Out Favorabl.y 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.

Alumni Assoc. Offers Senior Year Contacts By KENNETH V. McCLUSKEY The Alumni Association of Fairfield, in accoradnce with its plans to become closer to the ,tudent body, has asked for opinions concerning a senior year program. This program would include talks to explain the activities and importance of the Alumni Association. In other news concerning aJ.umni, Rev. George S. Mahan, S.J., faculty advisor to the Alumni, announced that he has received many calls from the Alumni offering their aid and knowledge to undergraduates. This would be in the form of conferences at which Alumni would outline the problems and advantages which they found upon graduation. Each Alumnus would speak to students interested in the field in which he is currently employed. Father Mahan said that he is awaiting some response from students or student organizations. On and Off the Campus Nina Derman Guests For Drama Society Miss Nina Derma!1 was guest speaker at the Drama Society weekly Workshop meeting. Miss I Derman, who has appeared in I local theatricals spoke on "The Benefits of Community Theater." Immediately following, an informal discussion on acting technique and experience was held. Besides her acting experience with the Polka Dot Playhouse as Mame Dennis in the famous "Auntie Mame" and her portrayal of the lead characters in "Plain and Fancy," "Detective Story," "The Rainmaker," and "Camino Real," she has directed the play "Life With Father" for Polka Dot. Miss Derman, at present, is studying at the American Shakespeare Academy of Stratford; has conducted acting classes as a member of the Silvennine Guild of New Canaan; and is a Director for Adult Cultural Activity in Bridgeport. The Workshop is comprised of all those students interested in reaming all aspects of play production. It has been a successful substitute for the Society which was unable to stage a play this semester. William Ndini. '62, has been conducting the Shop and has been utilizing the method type approach of acting. Plays such as "Oedipus Rex," "The Tempest," a Moliere comedy, Ionesco's "Rhinoceros," and "Guys and Dolls" were among those selected to be used by the Workshop.
