Fairfield University's Drama
Society will present A Shadow
o~ My Enemy as this year's
Spring production, according t~
MI'. Eugene Honan, Drama So­ciety
president. The play, writ­ten
by Sol Stein, was produced
on Broadway with Ed Begley
and Gene Raymond. A Shadow
of My Enemy is based on the
Alger Hiss Trial. The author has
said that the play is about "the
storms that trouble our political
world, the storms within us. and
the place of violence where the
two meet."
The play. with a cast of nine
men and three women, will be
staged in Gonzaga auditorium on
March 22, 23, and 24. At the
time of publication, only the
lead roles had been cast. They
are: Mr. William Ndini as Ran­dall,
and Mr. Samuel Groom as
Smith.
The production will be direct..
ed by M1'. Robert G. Emerich, a
professor of English at Fairfield.
Mr. Emerich is a graduate of
Oxford and was formerly with
NBC of New York.
In the play, the political as­pect
is incidental to the charac­terization
and conflict. The ap­proach
to the play taken by Mr.
Emerich will be to strip the pro­duction
of non-essentials and
expose the violence of the con­flict:
the confrontation of two
faiths. This will be achieved
through the medium of space,
sound, and lighting.

OPEN LETTER:
To the Editor:
I read with interest Mr. Tier­ney's
'expose' of Senator Gold­water
in the January 12th issue
of the Stag.
However, as one of his attacks
on Senator Goldwater he in­cludes
the curious issue of the
admission of Hawaii to the
Union: "However, I fail to see
how he fulfilled his promise of
freedom, especially in' voting
against the admission of Hawaii
into the Union which would
extend freedom."
Possibly Mr. Tierney "fails to
see" because· he does not have
his facts correct.
The admission of Hawaii (S.
50) was passed in the Senate on
March 11, 1959. The vote was
76 to 15. Mr. Goldwater voted
in the affirmative. I refer Mr.
Tierney to the Congressional
Record, Volume 105, Part 3, Page
3890.
Not only did Senator Gold­water
vote for the bill-but he
was one of the sponsors of the
measure!
Just before final Senate pass­age
of the bill, Senator Gold­water
delivered a short speech,
the conclusion of which is: "Mr.
President, I hope that the great
majority of my colleagues will
join me and other Senators in
voting tonight for statehood for
Hawaii." (cf. Ibid, page 3883).
I hope that this letter will suc­ceed
in dispelling the attempt to
fabricate a position on Hawaii
for Senator Goldwater, a posi­tion
which he has never held.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor:
If the Catholic intellectual is
to take the important role which
should be his in American so­ciety,
then there must be a radi­cal
re-evaluation of much Cath­olic
education. Those concepts
and techniques which are lead­ing
many Catholic colleges to
strictly circumscribe their stu­dents'
exposure to variant opin­ions
are frustrating the inherent
dynamism of Catholicism.
An important thing for the
Catholic educator to remember
is that while the Church possess­es
the truth absolutely, she pos­sesses
it neither exclusively nor
exhaustively. While we are re­sponsible
for an unfolding and
deepening appreciation of the
truth which the Church has, we
are equally responsible for
recognizing the truth wherever
it may exist, and relating it to
the framework of our Catholi­cism.
Any true intellectu~l1 is moti­vated
by such a love of the truth
that there is an almost physical
compulsion for him to accumu­late
and evaluate ideas. Catholi­cism
adds two guiding principles
-First that Catholicism is true,
and second, that the truth is one.
It is the combination of these
two facts which accounts for
what we have called "the dyn­amism
of Catholicism." Because
Catholicism is true, all other
truths must necessarily comple­ment
her, and not contradict her.
The specific obligation of the
Catholic intellectual is, having
seen things himself and having
seen and understood the insights
of others, to relate all of these to
the framework of a dynamic
Catholicism which is ever ex­panding
to embrace the true in­sights
of men, whether these be
the need for social justice, or the
existential plight of a contingent
being.
By stifling the minds of its stu­dents,
a university may well in­cur
the responsibility for a stag­nation
in the American Catholic
Church of the future when our
truly capable minds will simply
not be interested in looking out­side
of the Church for truth.

journal.
For one year, with as few
as a dozen students putting
out a ten page issue, Mike
Kiernan worked to give the
newly-appointed editors the
basis for an award-winning
college newspaper. To estab­lish
some form of 'remuner­ation'
to the reporters and staff
members, he established the
'Reporter-of-the-Year' Award
and originated the STAG ban­que
t, decisively bestowing
spirit within the staff.
And t h r 0 ugh the long
months of student ingratitude,
these editors labored to the de­triment
of their mar k s for
some, the sacrifice of uncount­ed
hours for all.
"The Twist? I'm sitting this one out.
It's dishonest. It's not a dance and it
has become dirty.
Not because it has to do with sex.
Everything does. But it's not what it's
packaged. It's synthetic sex turned
into a sick spectator sport.
Not because it's vulgar. Real vul­garity
is divine. But when people
work at it, break their backs to act
vulgar, it's embarrassing."

If the STAG is to present

U.N. Delegate Speaks
On Congo Situation
by LEN SOHLBERG
"The presence of the U.N. in
the Congo has prevented the big
world powers from going to war
and the starvation of the Con­golese".
This and other contro­versial
statements were made
by David Weahplah Wilson, a
member of the Liberian Mis­sion
to the U.N. at a Public
Affairs Club Lecture recently in
Gonzaga Auditorium.
Mr. Wilson declared that it
was the African nations who
supported the U.N. decision to
intervene in the Congo's Civil
War. However, he criticized the
U.N. for its adoption of an offici­al
neutral policy toward the in­ternal
conflicts of the Congo.
"A troubled government had
asked for help - not for neu­trality."
Still he was adamant
in his support, "The presence
of the U.N. means security and
many who had fled have return­ed
to the Congo." Airports, hos­pitals,
roads and communica­tions
have been reopened again
after being closed ,because of the
departure of Belgian doctors,
technicians, and engineers.

For Peace Corps
Sargent Shriver, .Director of
the Peace Corps, announced re­cently
that plans had been
formulated for projects in eight
new countries. It was also an­nounced
that a new series of
tests for the Peace Corps will
be given February 17 in centers
throughout the country.
Shriver said that requests
from volunteers had been re­ceived
from the Ivory Coast,
Ethiopia, Somali, Togo, Tunisia,
Honduras, Jamaica and North
Borneo.
Shriver made the announce­ment
at the O'Hare Inn in
Chicago during a luncheon hon­oring
36 Volunteers departing
for service in Malaya.
"There are many men and
women who would like to serve
in a particular area or fill a
specifice project need," Shriver
said.
"These eight new countries
will enable them to volunteer
for the kind of job they' know
they can do. More new projects
providing many more opportuni­ties
for service will be an­nounced
soon.
"We are now in a position to
begin recruiting for particular
skills. Candidates will be able
to apply for the project of their
choice."
Anyone interested in applying
for these projects may do so by
taking the tests and then filling
in a Peace Corps questionnaire.
A new series of tests will be
given on the 17th of February
at eight-thirty in the morning.
In this area the tests will be
given at the Main Post Office
Building in Bridgeport, Hart­ford
and New Haven. In New
York City at the Federal Build­ing
on Christopher Street, and
in Brooklyn at the Post Office
Building on Washington Street.
The minimum age is 18 and
there is no maximum age. There
is a need for all types and kinds
of skills.

S.J., prominent American
Jesuit Theologian and author,
will present a lecture in Gon­zaga
Auditorium on Tuesday,
February 27, at eight p.m. En­titled
"The Problem of God in
the Modern World," the lecture,
free to the public, is under the
organization and sponsorship of
the Fairfield University Cardinal
Key Society, the Ignatian Coun­cil
No. 4203 of the Knights of
Columbus, and the University
Sodality.
Author of Best-Seller
Recently, Father Murray au­thored
the best-selling study of
American democracy, "We Hold
These Truths." In the book, he
pleads for a recovery of Ameri­can
roots in the light of the
teachings and writings of the
Founding Fathers, and also in
the light of the older Western
democratic tradition with its
two sources: Greco-Roman civil­ization
and the thought of the
Doctors and Fathers of the
Christian Church.
Father Murray deals in his
book with the major social and
political issues of our time, em­phasizing
that the proper under­standing
of these issues is only
attainable through the vision of
our society as primarily a result
of the historical forces of the
past, and not simply a distinct
phenomenon without relevance
to other phenomena.

DRAMA SOCIETY
(Cont'd from Page 1, Col. 3)
According to Mr. Honan, the
Fairfield University Drama So­ciety
was founded in 1956. The
Rev. Laurence Mullin, S.J. is
the moderator of the Society.
Since its founding, the Society
has produced such plays as:
Experimental '60, Hamlet, Time
Limit, Tea House of the August
Moon, Detective Story, and
Enemy of the People.
After the Spring production
the Drama Society plans to re­sume
its regular workshop meet­ings.
Plans are also under way
for the appearance of guest
speakers and theater parties, ac­cording
to Mr. Honan.
A Shadow of My Enemy has
been called "the most exciting
new play in a long time" by
Eric Bentley and "an extraordi­nary
piece of moving drama" by
the New Yorker Magazine.
To the Editor:
I write to protest the unpro­voked
personal attack of Mr.
William Sangiovanni on the
Young Democratic Club. His
sarcasm, name calling and in­nuendo
as to his "friends who
were in the students for Ken­nedy
drive" and want "nothing
to do with the Young Demo­cratic
Club for -many reasons"
were unfair, uncalled for and
not consistant with the facts.
The present president of the
Young Democrats, Mr. John
Conroy, has worked long and
hard to revivify the Young
Democratic Club on this campus.
He has sponsored speakers; he
has started a division of the
organization, under the leader­ship
of Henry J acek, for the
interest and convenience of the
underclassmen who have most
of their classes in Canisius Hall;
he has assisted in the Fairfield
and Bridgeport campaigns, pro­viding
cars for motorcades etc.;
he has faithfully attended state
executive board meetings in
Berlin, traveling a considerable
distance of 150 miles round trip
to do so, and he has done this
at his own expense. This is not
the description of a man or an
organization fitting Mr. Sangio­vanni's
slur "Rip Van Winkle."
Mr. Sangiovanni's statements
were certainly not on their face
geared to foster any kind of
good will and gentlemanly
amity between students of dif­fering
political pursuasions on
this campus, nor did they. That
they did not is understandable,
and makes the crocodile tears
which some campus Republicans
shed over the Young Democrats'
reply, just a little bit hard to
take.
The Student Council wishes to
remind the entire student body
that any suggestions or ideas
they wish to submit will be
kindly accepted and that they
have provided special boxes as
receptacles for these suggestions.
One will soon be found on the
first floor in Canisius near the
activities board. A second sug­gestion
box has been set up in
front of the Xavier bookstore
along with a bulletin board pro­viding
all information for the
student body concerning the
operations and activities of the
Student Council.
All interested in buying back
their stolen books should be pre­sent

your own blindfolds and a fat
wallet.

To the Editors:
I would like to take this op­portunty
to repudiate the unbe­lievable
collection of lies and
half truths recently published in
the form of an open letter. The
vicious personal attack on Mr.
Sangiovanni needs no refutation.
His character is unimpeachable.
as can be testified to by any
number of people.
On the subject of guest speak­ers
I would concede the over­whelming
magnificence of the
parade that the letter presents
but for the fact that Mr. J. Flynn
is a student on campus and Mr.
Petry teaches here. We Republi­cans
have had the career of
several prominent people ex­pounded
by various club mem­bers
but we do this as an ordi­nary
thing. We have had the
pleasure of being addressed up­on
occasion by the Rev. J. L.
Bonn, S.J. When Mr. Kinnie
appeared here he was accom­panied
by the publicity director
of the town Republican Commit­tee,
Mr. B. Dillingham. The let­ter
failed to mention the appear­ance
on campus of the Honor­able
Abner Sibal, a U.S. Con­gressman.
In addition, the letter
forgets all about the visits, noted
in Campus Review, that are
scheduled by the Hon. John D.
Lodge and the Hon. Senator
Barry M. Goldwater. I think the
writer will admit that a slight
error was made in the matter
of speeches.
The reference to the Student
Union tax is irrelevant.
The letter tells its baldest lie
when it attempts to deal with
Republican Club elections. The
nominating convention is held at
a regularly scheduled :meeting
and is announced as such at
least two weeks in advance at
another regular collatus of the
membership. The fact that day
hops and off campus boarders
attended and were nominated at
the last convention is a clear
proof of the illusions under
which the letter writer is oper­ating.
As members of the Fairfield
University Republican Club, we
object to the statement that we
are pliant, yielding putty in the
hands of a boss. We are campus
Republicans, not campus "Demo­crats,"
our consitution provides
checks and balances to insure
that the will of the majority is
not thwarted.
One last note, I would like to
commend the supreme courage
of the letter writer for making
this slanderous attack behind
the cloak of anonymity and
falsely signing himself - Fair­field
University, Young Demo­crts.
I take recognition of the
fact that the majority of the
campus democrats had no part
in this affair and find it extreme­ly
distasteful.

HOW TO BE A BWOC
Ladies, let me be frank. The days of the college year dwindle
doml to a precious few. And some of you-let's face it-have
not yet become BWOC's. Yes, I know, you've been busy what
,,·ith ~!Oillg; to class and walking your cheetah, but really, ladies,
becoming a BWOC is so easy if you'll only follow a few simple
rules.
The first and most basic step on the road to being a BWOC
is to attract atteution. Get yourself noticed. But be very, very
carcful not to do it the wrong way. I mean, any old girl is
boulld to be noticed if she goes around with a placard that says,
"HEY! LOOIGT .ME!" Don't YO'u make such a horrid gaffe.
On your placard put: "ZUT! REGARDEZ MOl!" This, as
you can see, lends a whole new dimension of tone and dignity.
Once you have been noticed, it is no longer necessary to carry
the ]jlncard. It will suffice if, from time to time, you make
distinctive noises. If, for instance, every three or four minutes
you cry, "Whippoorwill!" you caunot but stay fresh in the
mind::; of onlookers.
We conle now to clothes, a vital accessory to the BWOC­indeed,
to any girl who wishes to remain out of jail. But to the
BWOC clothes are more than just a decent cover; they are,
it i::; not too Illuch to say, a way of life.
This spring; the "little boy look" is all the rage on campus.
Every coed, in a Illad effort to look like ~, little boy, is wearing
short pants, knee sox, and boyshirts. But the BWOC is doing
more. She has gone the whole hog in achieving little boyhood.
She has frogs in her pockets, scabs on her knees, down on her
upper lip, and is followed everywhere by a dog named Spot.
All this, of course, is only by day. When evening falls and her
date comes calling, the BWOC is the very picture of chic fem­ininity.
She dresses in severe, simple basic black, relieved only
by a fourteen pound charm bracelet. Her hair is exquisitely
coiffed, with a frcsh rubber band around the pony tail. Her

Interestingly enough, both the
president and vice-president of
the "Students for Kennedy" or­ganization
were invited and at­tended
the meeting. According
to William Sangiovanni, in a
recent editorial in t.he "Campus
Review," this organization would
have nothing to do with the
Democratic organization on
campus.
Regarding any definite conclu­sions
reached at the meeting,
the Stag was informed that it
would have to wait until the

people completing school; we
have more students of the social
sciences and humanities.
"But with our tremendous
resources and our fantastic
knowhow, we must ask our­selves
in all fairness why we
have allowed our educational
effort in the crucial field of en­gineering
to drift."
At the conclusion of his re­marks
Secretary Ribicoff coun­selled
the student audience they
must become more committed to
the issues found in modern so­ciety.
He observed that far too
few young people believe in
anything, and said "indifference
is prevalent in the youth of to­day.
Active participants are
needed for God and country to­day,"
he added.
I cannot read Goldwater's mind.
But I do know that there is a
large and not at all dictatorial­minded
school of thought which
opposes any extra-continental
territorial expansion of the
states, for a number of good rea­sons.
I'm not at all sure that I
agree with them, but neither am
I quite so eager as Mr. Tierney
to assume that their motive
must be an opposition to the
extension of freedom. That's al­most
as bad as calling everyone
you. disagree with a Communist,
isn't it?
Or it may be that Goldwater
is concerned about the great in­fluence
that Harry Bridges has
in Hawaii. If Mr. Tierney can
be utterly unconcerned about
this friend of Hoffa, this Com­munist
labor leader, I congratu-late
him. I can't be. .
Mr. Tierney goes on to decry
Goldwater's stand on welfare
legislation. At this point he
descends to the level of the
street-corner demagogue: "In
other words, starve from the
beginning." Now Mr. Tierney is
not only giving other words; he
is saying that Goldwater desires
something which he does not
desire and has never said he
desires.
Granted that making distinc­tion
- e.g., between welfare it­self
and federal administration
of welfare - is the forte of the
logician, does this prevent the
polemicist from doing the same?
I hardly think so. Thus we are
again left with the same two
alternatives: either Mr. Tierney
has not been able to understand
Goldwater, or he is purposely
distorting his position.
Mr. Tierney goes on for a few
more paragraphs of the same
kind of thing. It would be tedi­ous
here to enumerate every­thing.
But the sum total of Mr.
Tierney's remarks seems to be
this: "Negativeness and Gold­water
go hand in hand." I would
like to close by asking Mr.
Tierney what he thinks of the
fact that eight out of the ten
Commandments are expressed
negatively.
By MICHAEL LAWRENCE
REFLECTIONS
In the last issue of the Stag,
Tom Tierney devoted his col­umn
to an investigation of some
of Barry Goldwater's domestic
policies. The stated purpose was
to "show what he believes in,
what he is concretely for and
against:" Mr. Tierney contended
that this knowledge of Senator
Goldwater's beliefs "evades his
avid followers who spout about
in the abstract against socialism
and for freedom." I submit that
on the evidence of his column,
it is Mr. Tierney who does not
understand Senator Goldwater;
either that or he is deliberately
misrepresenting s 0 met h i n g
which he does understand, and
I would not accuse Mr. Tierney
of that. The purpose of this col­umn,
then, is to state accurately
the positions of Senator Gold­water
which were so inaccurate­ly
stated in the last issue. In the
process I may say that I am
aginst socialism and for free­dom,
and I will hope that Mr.
Tierney will not too hastily con­demn
me for this.
First - and this is very im­portant
to a correct understand­ing
of the conservative concern
with the danger of economic
power - Senator Goldwater has
never said that the power of big
business does not corrupt. He
has said, many times, that when
the executive branch of the fed­eral
government and the leaders
of organized labor ally them­selves,
their combined power is
greater than that of business, is
in the ascendancy, and is conse­quently
more corruptible - and
more corrupted, for that matter.
Mr. Tierney dismissed the
principle of states' rights and
all that its manifestations in one
curt sentence. Not a word about
the careful balance of powers
the authors of the Constitution
labored so hard to establish:
balance between the federal and
state governments, and, within
the federal government, among
the three branches. I wonder
whether Mr. Tierney is wise to
ignore so completely the ingeni­ous
system of checks and bal­ances
which has made our Con­stitution
the most successful
guarantee of liberty yet devised.
Mr. Tierney makes one point
in his column with which I must
agree. He says "There are no
new frontiers for Barry." If he
means bv this the New Frontiers
of the '1960 Democratic plat­form,
and the "Coming Political
Breakthrough" of C h est e r
Bowles, he's right; Goldwater is
not yet prepared to scrap the
system of free-enterprise capital­ism
and vigorously get this coun­try
moving again to ·a new
frontier of "democratic social­ism."

with other state dignitaries at
the New Englander Motel in
honor of Senator Goldwater.
Senator Goldwater, Republi­can

well known as a forerunner in
the rejuvenation of the Con­servative
thought, as well as the
author of the best-selling book
"Cons·cience of a Conservative":
The Senator formally an­nounced

This announcement
culminates nearly two years of
work on behalf of the Univer­sity's

Mr. Sangiovanni feels that this
is the biggest speaker the club
has sponsored on campus since
it was formed in 1956, and the

Fairfield Appoints Mr41 Taylor
A~ New Security Officer
by NED QUINN ~>----------------
Mr. Evan Taylor, a resident
of Monroe, Connecticut, has.
been appointed Campus Secur­ity
Officer of Fairfield Univer­sity.
Prior to his appointment,
Mr. Taylor was a self-employed
building contractor.
Ata recent interview, Mr.
Taylor disclosed that he is very
happy here at Fairfield. Al­though
he has only been here
for a few weeks, he feels he
belongs because of the coopera­tion
and compliments he has
received. This is witnessed by
the fact that he has not issued
a single ticket. Mr. Taylor be­lieves
in giving warnings to
violators, so that they will know
that they are wrong.
He has a definite philosophy
with regard to the enforcement
of our traffic regulations. "I
don't want to push people, I
want to lead them to do the
right thing," he said. Mr. Taylor
stated that there are enough
parking places, if they are used
properly. He asks all drivers to
park between the white lines,
not straddle them. In reply to
request for a statement about
his position, Mr. Taylor said, "I
do not want to be a 'cop,' I want
to be a peace officer."
Mr. Taylor wishes to thank
the Fathers, faculty, and stu­dents
for their 100% coopera­tion.
He hopes that this spirit
will continue and that he will
have a long and happy tenure
at Fairfield.

"Negotiations" seems to be the
key word in the forefront of
western policy in its diplomatic
dealings with Russia'. The get
tough attitude without alterna­tives
which is religiously advo­cated
by many conservatives
fortunately has not yet gained
control of allied foreign policy.
All. throughout 1961 the bargain­ing
table was to be the solution
whether in Geneva, Berlin or
Laos. What principle underlies
this means? Will it work? Or
are there other means?
Jacques Maritian, a leading
Catholic philosopher, has said
there is only one alternative to
peace and this is war, a disaster
with its potential atomic rami­fications
that could become a
reality that would end reality.
The interdependence of nations
politically as well as economic­ally
(goal of the Common Mar­ket)
is a necessity to peace. But
Maritian calls this impossible as
long as the present state of poli­tical
"inorganization" of the
world remains bound to the
chains of nationalism. Even
the United Nations, which he
admires, represents sovereign
states and not peoples. Even in a
democracy the "external" policy
of the government has drifted
further and further from the
electorate's control. The United
Nations in its present structure
can't solve the problem of war
and peace in a complete sense.
It prevents proximate crises
from becoming wars but not
absolutely. Is it only delaying
the inevitable? Possibly, but a
"let's get it over with" attitude
or any other idiotic slogan is too
illogical to even be treated here.
Maritain says his advocated po­litical
interdependence can be
achieved only by first recogniz­ing
the full autonomy of the
body politic to enter into an
international society, "a more
perfect society." This would be
a government not of nations, but
of one body politic, one organ­ized
people, one good. It would
entail sacrifice by the richer
peoples. It would mean the end
of the national state. This would
be literally the price of peace.
A supernational advisory coun­cil
elected by the people would
rule. Just as people form city
governments when neither peace
nor self sufficiency can be
achieved by themselves. So too
is the reason for this world gov­ernment.
In the transition period
education, freedom, reason, and
human virtues will be necessary
for preparation and success of
this demanding experiment.
There is little doubt this noble
proposal, regardless of the im­mediacy
and perniciousness of
atomic war, is too idealistic to
be put in practice now. Arab,
African, Russian, and American
nationalisms are sufficient proof.
Staving off crises is presently an
aid. But delay no longer will
benefit U.S. foreign policy as in
our formative years. Bomb shel­ters
only precipitate the disas­ter
and don't strike at the core

Also, Mr. Wilson eX!pressed
concern over the distortion of
the Congo in the American
press. The molestation of white
people has been emphasized ­the
same molestation of Negroes
not mentioned. Lumumba has
been called a Communist be­cause
of his acceptance of Rus­sian
aid. Initially, Lumumrba
appealed to the U.S. State De­partment
for military and finan­cial
help, explained Mr. Wilson.
Finding the U.S. would not give
aid except through the neutral
U.N., he naturally accepted aid
from Russia. Mr. Wilson cau­tioned
us in the use of strong
political brands on neutral
leaders and reminded us that
the Africans are a religious and
a family centered people.
Katanga Problem
The use of force against Ka­tanga's
separation was justified
by a parallel with the American
Civil War effort to prevent
southern secession from the
Union. But there are moral as
well as legal justifications for
the maintenance of Congo
unity. Katanga's main com­plaints
in secession were the an­ticipation
of high and unjust
taxes and of domination bv the
CentraJ. Government. Mr. Wilson
s'aid the Central Government
would not nationalize the Union
Mineral, Katanga's prosperous
mining company, but would
want its fair share of this pros­perity
because these mines were
built by people from all over
the Con[':o.

Independence Movement
Mr. Wilson described the de­mand
for Congo's independence
as an irrepressable movement
and as being heightened by the
following four events; 1.) rejec­tion
by Belgium in 1955 of a
plan for independence within 30
years; 2.) the Independence of
Ghana; 3.) Inspiration by visit
of Charles DeGaulle to Brazza­ville,
who said all French col­onies
would get independence if
wanted; 4.) Conference of Afri­can
Peoples in December '58.
The final blow came with the
riot in '58. At the same time, ,a
U.N. Commission Report stated
that, considering the conditions,
enough schools had not been
provided by the Belgium Gov­ernment.
Despite the belief Americans
have of solidarity within Ka­tanga
for secession, he mention­ed
that many, notably the
Baluba Tr1be in Katanga, are
by no means in agreement with
Tshombe.
At a conference of Congolese
leaders, many of whom had
never seen each other before,
agreement was found only on
the desire for independence.
June 1960 was set as the dead­line.
Belgium's Role
The lack of planning for
Congo's Independence by Bel­gium
was evident in the policies
of the Belgium Governor Gen­eral
of the Congo Colony. He
asked Lumumba, who seemed
to have the only real national
party, to form a government
within the space of eight hours.
Within this time the Governor
General changed his position
and asked Kasavubu, who would
not then form a government. He
t.'1.en approached Lumumba. This
stalling and wavering accounts
for some of the insulting re­marks
made at Lumumba's in­augul'ation
about Colonialism
and Belgium.
Mr. Wilson added, at the end
of his lecture, that Africa's
greatest need now is teachers
from abroad. He felt the Peace
Corps was effective, but that
more professional people are
needed as well.
Mr. Wilson has been in the
United States for 8 years. He
graduated from Marquette Uni­versity
and took his M.A. at
American University. He came
to Fairfield through the coop­eration
of the United Nations
Speakers' Bureau and the Pub­lic
Affairs Club. He is hoping
to do some creative writing in
the future in an attempt to por­tray
the true African character.
He mentioned to Tom Tierney,
President of the Public Affairs
Club, that he felt Fairfield Uni­versity
would be an ideal place
for a student from his country
because it is small and has an
excellent faculty.

Legislature was elected,
last week, by the Public Affairs
Club.
This year's delegation consists
of Dr. James Vail, moderator;
Robert Johnson, senior delegate;
Thomas Connors, Junior dele­gate;
Thomas Tierney, president
of the Public Affairs Club and
three members of the Public
Affairs Club: Sean Dunphy,
Michael Lawrence and William
Sanders.
At the Legislature, Fairfield
intends to present two bills. The
first is a bill aimed at giving aid
to migratory workers. This will
be presented by Ernest Webby
and Michael Delaney.
The second bill is entitled:
Aid to Private Institutions for
the Mentally Retarded. This bill
will be proposed by delegates
Gino Ferreri and Joseph Brodi­gan.

stimulate among college students
a further interest in government
and to offer the experience
necessary for a practical under­standing
of the political activi­ties
of the General Assembly
concerning contemporary state
affairs.

ASPECT
By RICHARD M. LAWLESS
In a 'recent address before a group of Washington newsmen,
commentator Walter Lippman discussed the nature of our current
military policy. Describing the similar actions taken by Soviet
Russia, this policy is called the "balance of power." Following
the military logic of prevention, Russia and the United States
have each heaped what is childishly referred to as a stockpile
of nuclear weapons. The childishness lies in the casual terming
of a collection which if fully exploited could perhaps destroy
three Earths. To the rational man the old concept of war-waging
is destroyed in the face of the possibility of the imminent destruc­tion
of the entire world. Mr. Lippman could only offer two alterna­tives
in this dangerous game, neither involving winning, and one
promising loss. The first is to live a "tightrope" existence that
calls for prudence and awareness to transcend the complacency
possible with an economic or even military surplus. The second
is the almost certain destruction of the world.
As we examine the school of reciprocal button-pushing, we
can discern a whole attitude of mind. One cannot chide one side
for wishing to protect itself from the other by matching its
weaponry. The underlying question is: why did we allow our­selves
to get into this mad race which seems only to lead over
the precipice?
Does the moth sense death as she approaches the candle,
seeking the sensual pleasure of light? Do we sense death as we
rush into military action, seeking the soul-satisfying pleasure of
patriotism? Enlarge on that little analogy and apply iJt to the well­meaning
element in our society who would have us rush at the
first possible chance into conflict with our Communist enemies.
Appealing to the innate American habit of love of country, they
forget the possible toll of a single mistake-that is, all human life.
Much as we hate the awesome power we have, we do haye
it and must face the problem. It would be lovely to run to the
mountains-if we could trust the distance. The rational man must
seek an answer, must face the two alternatives of rope-walking
or falling. A man who can quietly accept these alternatives, pos­sesses
a realistic outlook towards the problem of man's survival
in the face of his own awful creation, the nuclear weapon.
The realist always faces criticism of his ideas by mis-led
idealists. And in dying for their noble ideal, the idealists forget
to ask their fellow-men whether they wish to die also. The realist
is faced by critics who term him un-patriotic, un-American, and
perhaps the most ludicrous objection of all, unwilling to die. In
the face of such blind adherence to an ideal, one can only slowly
repeat that he is for something greater than the instant prestige
promised for aggressive military action - again, the preservation
of human life.
In offering this realism, one is not a unilateral pacifist, but
against a needless war whose danger encompasses far more than
the relative handful of soldiers on a given battle field. Men of this
attitude are not coffee-intellectuals with the bomb on their mind,
but rational individuals concerned with saving their fellow-men
from their greatest enemy-themselves. It is one thing to be a
blind forgiving sop who sees no evil, and quite another to be a
strong advocate for sanity.
There is one legitimate objection-are we to stand by and
gradually watch as Communism conquers the world? No, of course
not. In what may seem hypocrisy to some in view of my attitude
towards war, I do not recommend being gradually pushed to the
shores of Long Island, as Frank Meyer of NATIONAL REVIEW
so rhetorically put it. My answer to this oratorical crowd-pleasing
statement is the cautious walking of Lippman's tightrope. I do
not agree with the proposals of Mr. Meyer and his colleagues that
imply an over-aggressive use of military power. Nor do I allign
myself with the unilateral disavmers whom I can agree with in
their attitude towards war in principle only. They, as our well­meaning
patriots, push their fine ideal too far; they only offer a
naive optimism and faith in the verbal bond of the Communist
leadership. There must be a recognition of the rational medium
between these two opposite views.
What does this high-sounding but vitally important dialogue
mean to the student? It presumes political education and a con­cern
for fellow man. It requires a dispassionate and close exami­nation
of the political philosophies which are in conflict on the
world scene and investigation of their attitude towards annihala­tion
to further their ideological end. The nature of the possibility
of annihalation presumes concern and asks for action of the type
which will precipitate neither nuclear war nor unresisted im­perialism.
To those who would not walk the tightrope, whether they
be over-idealistic patriots or pacifists, I quote the lines of e. e.
cummings:
what I want to know is

THE
WHETSTONE
February 16, 1962
This is an invitation to a suicide. Not just anyone's suicide,
you understand, but your very own. It may be slightly pre­supmtuous
to issue invitations to someone else's affairs, but all
of you seem so busy with the preparations that such amenities
may be over-looked in the commotion. It seemed rather a loarge
shame that so much industry should lack the formality of a
written request of attendance. A poorly attended suicide is usu­ally
quite indecorous, smacking not only of bad taste but also
of a high degree of se·lofishness. Therefore, this invitation.
Of course, this is merely based on a quick look around,
but from 1111 ostensible appearances the honor of presenting the
occasion is to be equally shared among most of us.
The lethargic and intellectually stagnant student has con­tributed
a sense of well-being upon which has been set a very
old but well preserved and often used server made of an alloy
of avarice, chauvinism, and bigotry. There is nothing like a
finely wrought sense of well-being to show off such a server.
That massive malleability, that shapeless and vague aggre­gate
of populations, in matters of government, education, and
entertainment referred to as the public, supplies a vast and
empty punch-bowl of some sturdy and not totally unpleasant
material easily tarnished but capable at times of the most spark­ling
brilliancy.
The punch itself has been mixed for years by teachers,
pol~ticians, and men of commerce from an ancient but well
known recipe. J;t is ,a treacly viscous fluid, heavy with the errors
of ages and sweet with the promise of a thousand strikingly
inconsequential and pretentious satisfactions. But this intoxi­cating
liquid alone is not the method by means of which the
suicide will be committed. No, this is merely a conditioner, a
confirmatory device, one gulp of which is enough to assure any
recaldtrant guest that what the crowd is doing is really the
thing to do.
The event, as you can see, promises to be diverting and
even a trifling dazzling-for as long ,as it may last. But there
is a slight problem which is causing a delay in setting an exact
time. You understand: The ill we shall have a~ways with uS.1
No one enjoys celebrating when there is shadow over the fes­tivities.
In this case, of course, it is only a matter of time before
the illness gets the better of the ill. But there is a certain amount
of propriety to be exercised in the face of such suffering as is
being gone through despite the over all inconvenience and de­spite
the fact that the ill are no more than nodding acquaintances.
It is a common malady in its several forms that is attacking
these inconsiderate outsiders. Deprivation has spread through
their systems and they are dying from an inane refusal to surfeit
themselves with the generous offerings from the suicide of the
over-abundant punch. The hungry mind is starving simply be­cause
it refuses to swallow such a drink. The creative mind is
growing weaker for want of a substantial reception of his work.
The inventive mind is becoming dim with the haze of an author­ity
which refuses to let it use this source or that method or
just let it think freely and travel in any direction it may choose.
The manly mind and the womanly mind lie together maintain­ing
their virility and femininity at the cost of their vitality
which is being sapped by a world-pervasive neuter thinking.
Dignity is being deprived of meaning. Individuality is being
deprived of existence. And humanity is being deprived of a
human kind.
These are all being invited to the suicide, strictly as a mat­ter
of course. But you may be sure they won't be there; they
have shown so little positive interest in the preparations. If
they contribute anything, it is always in the form of a postpone­ment
or a hindrance. They won't come, of course, and the rest
of you will just have to sit back and wait as you have been
waiting or jump in and help build the attractions as you have

Some of these diseased beings are stubborn and most l:ikely
will be a long time in the dying. But that isn't going to upset
the plans for the suicide. It never has. The only thing to do is
maintain some sort of definite pace toward what should be in­evitable
and that is just what has always been done. As long
as the hosts for the suicide-that is all of us-are relentness in
our work and don't give too much thought to either the illness
or those afflicted with it, as long as we keep the disease confined
and fi'ght back with affluence on this side, as long as we can
remember that their trouble is theirs and we can't lighten it an)'
without putting off our own plans, as long as we don't listen
to their complaining, we haven't got a thing to worry us.
And when deprivation has become so strong that it ca~
stamp on the last test tube, and smash the last piece of sculpture,
and slash the last painting, and break the last blackiboard and
burn the last book on a bonfire built from the last music~l in­struments,
then it isn't going to be too much longer until it
can try to do away with the last poem.
I say "try" because that is going to be a problem no matter
how strong deprivation ever gets to be. Because to get at that
last poem you haV'e got to get at the last poet. Btit our kind of
deprivation is thorough and when it figures out a way to wash
away words in air or thoughts in a poet's mind, there is going
to be one big and glorious suicide thereafter. R.S.V.P.

91-85 Over lana
Last Monday, the Fairfield
Stags edged Iona 91-85 in an
overtime contest. Bobby Jenkins
sank two free throws in the five
minute period, which proved to
be the winning margin. Fred
Weismiller iced the contest with
four for four from the charity
stripe.
The game was a see-saw battle
throughout, and the biggest lead
held by either team was seven
points. The first half ended with
Iona in front by one, 43-42, with
the aid of 18 points by 6-9 Col­lins.
Bill Shin led the Stags in
the first half with 14 points.
The second half was much the
same story. However, Shin con­centrated
on defense this half
and held Collins to 7 points,
which certainly helped Fairfield,
who could only play the Gaels
on even terms. The game ended
in a 77-77 tie, as Shin missed a
last-second jump shot.
Bobby Jenkins received the

In the second half UB out­scored
the Stags 42-38, but they

Looking for their second con­secutive
upset of an Eastern
power, the Stags were upended
100-96 by Seton Hall four weeks
ago. This heartbreaking loss
came on the heels of Fairfield's
upset win over Fordham the
previous week. The Stags fought
the Pirates down to the wire,
and only in the final half-minute
did victory elude them.

Well-balanced teams are char­acteristic
of this season's Frosh­Soph
intramural basketball lea­gue.
Although the team stand­ings
leave this to question, a
great number of games have
gone into overtime or have been
close-scoring contests. Nearly
every team boasts at least two
upper-lbracket scorers and good
ball-lhandlers.
The league is ably managed
by Commissioner Mike Zapf,
'63, who also tends the Junior­Senior
division as well as the
softball and football intramurals
in the spring and fall. To Mike
falls the job of keeping the re­cord
books, distributing equip­ment
and also arranging the
schedules.
With the league in full swing,
it is well to note just who are
its major scorers. As of Feb. 6th,
Captain Andy Donnelly leads
with 16 points per contest, fol­lowed

Stags Upset Rams 92-86
The Stags earned their biggest
upset of the year against Ford­ham
with a 92-86 victory. Scor­ing
a record-breaking 58 points
in the second half, the Stags
overcame a 46-34 half-time de­ficit
for the win.
Fordham took an early lead
on the fade-away jump shooting
of Bob Melvin as well as poor
foul shooting by the Stags.
However, in the opening min­utes
of the second half, Fairfield
scored 10 straight points in a 2%
minute span to move within two
points of the Rams at 46-44. Bob
Hutter then tied the score with
15 minutes remaining, and those
final fifteen minutes saw the
lead change hands eight timp.s,
hefore Fred Weismiller put the
Stags ahead to stay with about
five minutes remaining.
In the second half, Bob Hut­ter's
19 points and Fred Weiss­miller's
tremendous 22 point ef­fort
gave the margin of victory
to the Stags. Freddy hit for 12
from the charity stripe in the
second half and wound up with
a total of 24 points.
Bob Melvin and Jim Manhardt
paced the Rams with 32 and 28
points respectively.

Giaquinto New Coach
Succeeds Tamashumas
by JIMMY DALY
Fairfield University announced
two weeks ago that Nicholas
Giaquimo, former star sprinter
from Seton Hall University, has
been named track coach.
Giaquinto succeeds Edward
Tamashumas who had coached
the team for ten years. Under
Tamashumas' c 0 a chi n g, the,
Stags improved with every sea­son.
The peak of his coaching
career came with an undefeated
outdoor season in 1960.
Mr. Giaquinto hails from the
Bridgeport area where he is now
teaching and lives with his wife
and family,
Although Mr, Giaquinto has
had no previous coaching experi­ence,
he is no stranger to the
track world. As a scholarship
sprinter at Seton Hall Univer­sity
he achieved various honors.
Mr. Giaquinto was the state
interscholastic sprint champion
in Connecticut. In his sophomore
year at the Hall he was a mem­ber
of the record breaking mile
relay team which ran third to
National Champion Morgan
State. His Junior and Senior
years saw similar accomplish­ments.
He was a runner-up in
the 60 yard dash in Jersey and
the intercollegiate 300 yard in­door
champion.
Coach Giaquinto has announc­ed
that the training program
will be similar to that which
he received at Seton Hall.
An advocate of speed running,
he hopes to improve the Univer­sity's
track team to a higher
caliber of indoor and outdoor
competition with a hopeful look
to the future Madison Square
Garden in the Penn Relays.

The Stags won the league en­counter
this year. U.B. is led by
high-scoring Dan Morello with
a 20 point plus average in league
action this year. The Stags hold
the edge in this 27 game series
with 17 wins.
February 26 will find the
Stags enroute to Providence,
Rhode Island to take on the
1960-'61 N.I.T. champions. Pro­vidence
was rated high in the
pre-season polls, but got off to a
slow start when play began.
However, they have shifted into
high gear and are now advanc­ing
in the national polls. Last
year Providence swamped the
Stags 81-59. This year Provi­dence
is led by Jim Hadnot, Vin
Ernst, and John Thompson. The
Friars have won 14 of 19 games
played thus far this season.
The Stags will round out lea­gue
play on February 28 when
they travel to Rider College in
Trenton, New Jersey. The Stags
beat Rider last year 90-82. This
year Rider is led by Nick Ser­ban,
a sophomore, with a 19
point average in league encoun­ters.
The regular season will end
on March 3. On this date the
Stags will play host to Saint
Anselm's. Saint Anselm's was
not on last year's schedule, but
there have been 10 games play­ed
against them of which the
Stags have won 2. This year
Saint Anselm's is led by IDave
Swan along with last year's
starting five. They have excel­lent
speed and shooting ability,
but lack height.

As the Stags enter the final
seven games of the season, they
carry with them an impressive
won-lost record. These final 7
games will be against Assump­tion
College, Brooklyn College,
Fairleigh - Dickinson, University
of Bridgeport, Providence Col­lege,
Rider College, and Saint
Anselm's. Last year the Stags
defeated all of these teams ex­cept
Providence and Saint An­selm's,
which was not on the
1960-'61 schedule.
On February 19, the Stags will
travel to Brooklyn College. Fair­field
humbled Brooklyn a year
ago by a 97-71 score. Brooklyn
has failed to win a Tri-State
League game yet this year. They
are led by senior Steve Schein­blum
with a 17.3 average in
league play.
The next home game will be
February 22 against Fairleigh­Dickinson.
Last year the Stags
topped Fairleigh-Dickinson 96­82.
So far this year, Fairleigh­Dickinson
has managed a 4 and
2 record in Tri-State League
action. Thomas Fox, a senior, is
leading the Fairleigh-Dickinson
attack with a 15.7 average in
league games.

he set the mark for the most

Bob possesses the rare virtue
of a top scorer, a high shooting
percentage which as of Febru­ary
8th was one of the tops of
all New England players. (Hut­ter

His outstanding effort in Fair­field's

SPORTS PERSONALITY
Bob Hutter shows his form in recent LIU game. Huts led Stags
with 17 points.
A quick feint, a sudden leap,
and a deadly shot are the ele­ments
Bob Hutter combined to
become the most prolific scorer
in the history of Fairfield Uni­versity.
Last year as a sopho­more
he canned 415 points, thus
gaining a berth on the All-New
England third team.
The 6' 4" junior is a native of
the Bronx, New York. Bob at­tended
Archbishop Molloy High
School where he and teammate
Don Burks (now at St. John's)
gave the "Stanners" an effective
scoring punch.
At the close of his high school
career, "Huts" carefully weigh­ed
offers from L.I.U., N.Y.U. and
St. John's before deciding upon
Fairfield. As Bob put it, "I didn't
want to get lost in the shuffle of
players and spend my career
sitting on the bench."
Grim and determined, Bob is
all business on the basketball
court. He reacts calmly under
pressure, and has turned in some
of his best performances against
the Stag "major" college op­ponents
(St. Peters - 33 points;
Georgetown - 23; Fordham ­29;
Seton Hall - 22). At his pre­sent
scoring pace, Bop will no
At Seton Hall, the frosh took
on a team of giants in an abbre­viated
encounter and lost 64-25.
Seton Hall boasted two men over
6-6, and the Stags played with­out
the services of Bernie Casey.
Richie Dec led the winners with
18 points, and Hegarty was high
man for Fairfield with 6.
In our traditional tilt with UB,
the yearlings lost by a twenty­four
point margin 91-57, as Bob
Fraher led the Knights with 16
points. Fairfield's Pascale and
Casey countered with 15 and 13
respectively.
In other recent games, Ford­ham
drubbed the young Stags
91-57. Wayne McGuirt led the
Rams with 23, while his cousin
Joel Pascale led the frosh with
16.
Returning home after a two
week layoff, the frosh took on
a depleted LIU squad. (They lost
nine freshmen over the inter­term,
including their leading
scorer). The Stags started quick­ly,
and at on~ point held a 10
point lead; and even though
they let it slip, they trailed by
only three at the half 45-42. The
second half though, was differ­entas
the scrappy Blackbirds,
with excellent foul shooting and
teamwork, overcame the year­lings
94-77.
The highlight of the game was
a new Fairfield University Gym
record of 46 points by Mark
Stuart of LIU. His total included
a fantastic 22 for 22 from the
foul line Joel Pascale once again
led the frosh with 21. The re­bounding
of John Gugle was
sorely missed. Gugle suffered a
serious injury in a skiing acci­dent,
and will be out for the
remainder of the season.
Frosh Win First
Behringer Stars
by PETER GARRY
After eleven straight losses,
the freshmen rallied to defeat
C.C.N.Y. 65-62 in a game last
week. Trailing by two, 60-58
with just over two minutes re­maining,
John Behringer stole
the ball and drove downcourt
for a 3 point play to send the
Stags ahead 61-60. As the Beav­ers
came down to set up their
next play, he stole the ball
again, and the frosh froze the
ball until Hegarty was fouled
with 54 seconds remaining. He
sank two on a one and one situa­tion,
and FU led 63-62. C.C.N.Y.
scored again, but in the final
seconds a pass from Hegarty to
Schuck underneath and the en­suing
layup, iced the contest as
the clock ran out.
The frosh trailed at the half
31-27, but were kept in conten­tion
with the help of 12 points
by Joel Pascale. Pascale fouled
out with 12:48 to go in the sec­ond
half, and Bernie Casey foul­ed
out with 4:08 remaining.
Following their upset win
over C.C.N.Y., the frosh hosted
a highly rated lana College
squad. The Gaels, led by War­ren
Isaacs, routed the yearlings,
98-70. Isaacs hit for 32 points to
pace the winners.
For Fairfield, Joel Pascale es­tablished
a new Fairfield Uni­versity
freshman scoring mark,
netting 38 points. Joel, hitting
on 13 field goals and .12 of 13
free throws, bettered by one
point the previous record of 37,
held by Nelson Grillo of last
year's freshman team. P..:.------- iiilJ

Tomorrow, the Stags host the Greyhounds of Assumption
College, in a game which matches two of the top teams in New
England. The Greyhounds boast a veteran team bolstered by
the return of nine lettermen. They started the year off winning
their first eight encounters, before losing to Holy Cross, and now
boast a 10-3 mark.
The student directory published at the beginning of the
year made mention of the appearance of the Harlem Globetrot­ters
on campus this month. According to Fr. Mahan who supplied
the information, the" Catholic Charities was trying to arrange a
benefit game, but plans fell through.

In the recent UPI polls, Fairfield was rated as twenty-second

one of the three top small col1ege teams together with Williams

The big story at this moment is Fairfield's status as regards
to the Tri-State League next year. There was hope that Fairfield
would be out of the league next season, since for the last two
years and more than likely for a third time this year, the Stags
have won the league title hands down. There was speculation as
to whether we would go independent, thus establishing ourselves
as a major power, or whether we would join another league such
as the Middle Atlantic (college division- north). These high hopes
were squelched recently when it was established that Fairfield
will definitely be in the Tri-State again next year since the
schedule has already been made out.
There are two major reasons for this. By remaining in the
league, we are virtually assured of an automatic berth in the
post-season NCAA tournament by winning. It might still be
possible to gain a post-season berth as one of the four at-large
teams from New England. But where are we going to get teams
.who are willing to play us - teams which if we do beat wi~l
make us worthy of a bid to the tournament. There are many
major-college teams in the area who have nothing to gain by
beating us, and everything to lose.
Then, too, many of these major independent teams are im­proving.
To illustrate this, I'll take three examples. Assuming
that those involved return next year, Providence will have Ernst,
Zalucki, Thompson, Simone, and 6-8 frosh Kovalski. Seton Hall,
in addition to Werkman and Coombs, feature two giants from
this year's squad - 6-7 and 6-9. Fordham, in addition to Melvin
and Manhardt will have two all-Staters from this year's frosh
squad.
Here at Fairfield, next season's five will feature Hutter,
Macarchuk, and Weismiller. The starting five will possibly be
rounded. out by Riescherand McAnulty, but that remains to be
seen. But what of the loss of Jenkins, Shin, Touhey, and Doolan.
The only sure bet to make next year's team is Pascale, currently
leading the frosh in scoring.
The other alternative, the possrbility of entering a new
league, was offered by Fr. Lyons, S.J., and his answer to the
possible leagues was that many of the teams would not want to
play us.
However, this possibility must be further exploited, until a
more suitable answer is found. For the time being, though, Fair­field
will remain in the Tri-State league.
* * *
Regarding the Fordham game, the sentiment was best ex-pressed
by a rival coach. Assistant basketball coach Ed Hershey
of LIU had this to say: "This is the best game I've seen all year,
including the Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden."
The loss to Seton Hall can be attributed to bad breaks:
Jenkins fouled out with 2:40 to go, Weismiller was called for
charging and goal tending on successive plays with the Stags
down, 96-94. According to Seton Hall coach Regan, the turning
point came when Fairfield was down 82-81 and threw the ball
away without getting a shot off.
Bill Shin did an excellent defensive job on Werkman, hold­ing
him to 23 points, eight below his season's average. Fairfield's
96 points was its season's high thus far.
* * *
school, such as Fairfield, is re­stricted
from University Divi­sion
membership. Many schools
with small enrollments are mem­bers
of the University Division,
but their small student body is
a great handicap in trying to
field a team of big-school cali­ber.
Therefore, in order to have
a better opportunity for national
recognition, Fairfield is a Col­lege
Division member.
The organization of the Col­lege
Division follows the same
general pattern of the Univer­sity
Division; i.e., automatic
qualification of the champion­ship
teams of certain regional
conferences and the selection of
at-large teams. The 1962 College
Division Championship provides
for a field of 32 teams, 11 of
which e n t eras conference
champs, and the 21 others are at­large
entrants chosen by region­al
section committees. In gener­al,
there are 8 regional turna­ments
with 4 teams in each. The
8 regional winners travel to
Evansville, Indiana where the
finals of the NCAA College Di­vision
Basketball Championship
are held every year. This year
the dates are set for March 15-17.
The winner of the Tri-State
League automatically competes
in the "East" regional along
with the winners of the Mason­Dixon
Conference, the Middle
Atlantic States Athletic Confer­ence,
and also one at-large team.

On March 9-10, the winner of
the Tri-State League will parti­cipate
in one of the NCAA Col­lege
Division Regional Tourna­ments.
If the Fairfield Stags con­tinue
their present pace and cop
the league title, they will com­pete
in the regionals for the
third straight year. Two years
ago, the Stags bowed by one
point to American University in
the regional finals, and last year
they lost their first round en­counter
to Albright College.
The NCAA Basketball Cham­pionship
was instituted in 1939
to' determine who was college
basketball's true national cham­pion.
Since that time many Na­tional
Champs have been crown­ed,
KentuckY being the most
frequent winner. Cincinnati is
the 'Present defending National
Champion.
Fairfield does not compete in
this tournament, for the NCAA
Basketball Championship now
has two divisions - the 23 year
old University Division, and the
College Division which is enter­ing
its sixth year of competition.
The College Division, in which
Fairfield is eligible to pm'tici­pate,
was established in re­sponse
to the requests of many
smaller institutions who felt
such a division would afford
them a greater opportunity to
compete with schools of equal
athletic caliber.
Generally speaking, in making
the division, the time-tested
strength of schedule formula is
used. Its basic premise is that a
major team is one which plays
approximately one-half of its
games against major opponents.
Although many schools who are
members of the College Division
are what we would call small
schools, enrollment-wise, this
does not mean that a small

CENTER
The 1960 Presidential e'leetion
broke many long srtandiing tra-'
ditions on the American politi­cal
scene. Taking advantage of
'the changing economic, educ-a­tional,
infurmational and popu­Lation
trends of modern Ameri­ca,
a dynamic new furce van­quished
the lingering ghost of
bigotry and bossism and irre­vooably
alterred the character
of Presidential campaigns and
poiitics.
Fovtunately the campaign was
viewed from different vanrtage
points by two of America's fin­esrt
authors, Theodore H. White
and James A. Michener. Their
records of the 1960 campaign
make rewarding l'eading f-or
both the studenrt: of hisltory and
the average fellow who wants
an enjoyable way to find out
how it aU happened.
Mr. White's book is presented
on a wider scale, covering the
campaign and eaoh of it's prin­ciple
chamcters from the days
long before the PiTesidential
primaries to the elecrtiron of John
F. Kennedy as the 35th P>resi­denrt:
of the United States. In so
doing he gives a fine insight
into the intellects, ambitions, and
ideals of the other Democratic
contenders, Humphrey, Syming­ton,
Johnson, and Stevenson, as
well as Republican, Rockefeller
and Nixon.
This eXlcellent work is pr.i­marily
the result of a good re­porting
job written in cvisp, fair
journaliJsrtic style without sacri­ficing
final analyses and opin­ions.
That all the facets of the
eleo'tiJon could be grouped to­gether
to :liorm a comprehensive
picture of the making of John
F. Kennedy as a President in
1960 is in itself a remarkable
feat. But this work goes beyond
tihat and joins the ranks of the
great biogrophioal and h~torical
works of literatur-e, despite or
perhaps because of the faat that
it was written ,so close to the
time which it portrays.
Mr. Michener's work is admdit­tedJy
less ambitious, yet it
serves to present the indiv,idual
experience of one inV'Q!lved in
the "grass roots" of the cam­paign
in a more personalized
and subjective manner. Ait one
time a regisrtered Republican,
Mir. Michener relates how he
came to be a supporter of P>resi­dent
Kennedy and later a con­firmed
liberal during the oours-e

POST-GAME
PARTY
A victory party was sponsor­ed
by the Eastern Massachu­setts
Club after the recent
Fairfield - Stonehill basketball
game.
A large group of Fairfield
students was on hand at the
game both to cheer for the team
and attend the dance. Many
out-of-state students journeyed
to Brockton to view the contest.
The post-game party, the first
of its kind sponsored by a Fair­field
group in the Boston area
was well received by students,
alumni, and friends of the Uni­versity.
Vera Myers from the research
and organization of Miss Eliza­beth
Farrell, the evening pro­gressed
from the origin of the
primitive dance to examples of
early medieval dances, the Pa­v,
ane and the Galliarde. These
early examples were then de­monstrated
as the basis of the
beginnings of Classical dance or
ballet.
An interesting contrast to the
eariler part of the program
was given by the vibrant dances
of Miss Patricia Bried. Modern
dance was shown to be deriva­tive
from the classical forms of
the dance. Constraint and stif­fled
form were eliminated by
earlier practitioners, Isadora
Dunoan and Ruth St. Dennis.
Miss Bried demonstmted the
f.ar more basic and simple tech­nique
of Martha Graham. Bas­ed
upon the fundamental hu­man
body movements of con­striction
and expulsion, the pro­cess
of breathing, she showed
the classroom technique and ap­plioation
of Miss Graham, giv­ing
a forceful example of the
primitive, dynamic and symbolic
nature of modern dance.
An attempt is made in mod­ern
dance to free the move­ments
of the body, the instru­ment
of the dance, from the
restrictions and symbolic move­ments
of classical dance. Free­dom
has been attained in mod­ern
dance, a freedom of the
body from strict forms, ex­changing
this for the more basic
patterns of body movement. It
would seem that modern dance
has eliminated the symbolism of
ballet in this expression of free­dom.
However, it has merely
substituted a more essential
symbolic pattern of movement
for the artificially imposed re­straint
of baBet. Symbolism is
inherent in the dance. It is the
quality that distinguishes dance
from mere body movement. It
is the element of communica­tion
that makes the dance a
universally appreciated field.
This element of symbolic com­munication
was the central
point of the evening and the
basis for the statement that the
dance will always be with us in
one form or another.
The evening represented an­other
facet of the Art Forum's
symposium in the arts. It pro­vided
an interesting and enter­taining
evening and showed a
rather good awareness of audi­ence
interest and toleration.
That a program of this sort,
conceived in a broad scope, had
to suffer from the physical limi­tatoins
'that were obvious is a
situation that will be remedied,
it is hoped, as this young or­ganization
gains in stature and
e~perience.

I'll so many respects this is a

New Faces of '62
Whenever we feel that the re­vue
has played its last skit or
sung its last song Leonard Sill­man
arrives on Broadway with
another New Faces. New Faces
of 1962 has recently opened at
the Alvin Theatre.
With his usual shrewdness Mr.
Sillman has assembled some in­teresting
new faces, nineteen in
all, including an enchanting
Mickey Wayland, some exciting
voices, namely Sylvia Lord's,
and a big hatful of sketches that
are bound to have appeal to
most. If one doesn't suit you,
another probably will.
The songs and sketches do
their skittering best and are not
hampered by Melvin Reiss' sets.
Nor have they failed the tradi­tional
duty of a revue by taking
a few jabs here and there. Most
everything is covered including
a girl doing a strip in the man­ner
of a Method actress and a
musical sketch, a Jewish west­ern,
which takes care of Milk
and Honey and A Family Affair.
One Joey Carter does a rendition
that takes to task all folk sing­ers
from Burl Ives to Harry
Belafonte. There is even a seri­ous
touch when charming Helen
Kardon sings a new type of
children's song. It starts out A
is for atom, B is for bomb.
A rather interesting and enter­taining
evening.

denies that Stalin's regime was
imperialistic since it did not
take over Italy, France, and
Denmark after the war. I per­sonally
can see no reason why
he overlooked the fact that Italy
and France at the end of the
war were in American and Brit­ish
hands. The latter were in no
position to give them up to a
Russia that was almost at its
knees. To try to further disprove
the idea of an imperialist Russia,
Fromm states that the Cuban
revolution was not a product of
Russia or Cuban Communism
and further states "Castro was
never a Communist." In regard
to the latter conviction, I need
not quote the words of the
bearded Cuban to prove Fromm
incorrect.
Despite his occasional abuse
of historical facts, Fromm does
come to some intelligent conclu­sions
in dealing with present
situations. In his last chapter
entitled "Suggestions for Peace,"
he points out that "we have no
vision of something new, no
aim that truly inspires us." How
true this really is! What is
America's goal? Does it have one
to work for? In conclusion, I
earnestly agree that "prepara­tions
for war . . . will lead to
catastrophe ... The one chance
for victory: to demonstrate that
it is possible to have at home­and
in Asia, Africa, and Latin
America - economic progress
and individuality, economic and
social planning and democracy.
This is the answer ..."

Fromm Reviewed
"Many of the premises upon
which our (foreign) policy is
based are untrue, many of our
assumptions are fictitious or dis­torted,
and we are running with
-confused minds into the gravest
danger for ourselves and the
rest of mankind,"
This is the theme of a new
and controversial book by a
well-known author and psycho­analyst,
Erich Fromm. In his
latest study of political thought,
May Man Prevail?, Mr. Fromm
challenges the very basic con­victions
by which our present
foreign policy is executed. If his
conclusions' are true, America is
following rt:he quickest path to
Armageddon - and to avoid
total annihilation, drastic step's
must be taken. If his conclusions
are false, his premises deserve
our closest scrutiny to determine
precisely where and why he has
erred. His thoughts are new and
bold and will be inevitably re­jected
by many who are set in
their rigid political rut. While
Mr. Fromm's book puts forth
ideas that will apply to our gen­eration,
he also looks to the
future.
True to form as a psychoan­alyst,
Mr. Fromm applies to so­cieties
as a whole theories here­tofore
only attributed to individ­uals.
He describes paranoic
thinking in an individual and
shows how this type of pathol­ogy
applies to our world today.
The paranoic is convinced that
everybody is "after him," his
friends, associates, even his own
wife are in conspiracy to mur­der
him or suffer him other in­jury.
While the psychologist can
assure the patient that these
delusions are not at all prob­able,
he can not offer him any
certitude that they are impos­sible.
This is what makes the
case so difficult. For the para­noic,
reality is based upon pos­sibility
and not probability. Ac­cording
to Fromm "most Ameri­cans
today think about Russia
m a paranoic fashion, namely,
they as what is possible rather
than what is probable."
Hand in hand with paranoia
.s "projection" or the mechanism
n which a destructive person
pictures himself as being victim­Ized
and accuses others of his
own faults. Fromm cites the fact
that in World War I the Allies
thought of the Germans as child­killing
Huns. Strangely enough
the same conviction was just as
firmly held by the Germans in
respect to the Allies. To Fromm
our thinking
