Fairfield University has received
a $12,200 grant for a National
Science Foundation InService
Institute for high school
and junior high school teachers
of science. and mathematics during
the academic year 1962-63.
according to an announcement
by Dr. Paul A. Scherer, Acting
Director of the Foundation.
The grant authorizes 52 teachers
from this area to take part
in' Saturday classes during the
COJIling -year. However, Dr. John
A. Barone, Director of the Institute,
has indicated that the University
plans to increase the
number of participants to 60 in
order to make an additional contribution
to the area. The fact
that applications were received
last year for the first year of the
proposed three - year sequential
program with an authorized
strength of 50, was one of the
reasons for the extension. Many
of the teachers in this year's
institute plan on staying for a
sec~)l1d year of the popular program.
However, openings are
anticipated and new applicants
are encouraged to contact Dr.
Barone.
In a letter to the Institute Director,
Dr..Harry C. Kelly.of the
National Science Foundation
stated, "The key role p~ayed by
our ,. science and mathemtics
teachers in· strengthening and
increasing our scientific' and
. technical potential is now generally
recognized. The Foundation
welcomes your endeavors in
helping our teachers to improve
their competence in subject
specialties,. thus aiding them in
the preparation of high quality
sCientists for the future." In order
to realize the ·objective of
improving subject - matter competence
of the· participating
teachers, specialization in the
areas of biological science, physical.
science, and mathematics
will·be provided. The grant provided
by theN.S.F. will enable
the teachers to enroll in the
Institute without cost and receive
a transportation and book
allowance as well. .
The Rev. James H. Coughlin,
S.J., Chairman of the Fairfield
University Graduate Department
of Education pointed out
that teachers completing the
Institute courses' satisfactorily
can obtain six hours' of academi'c
credit for each year of the Insti.
tute. This is applicable to a
master's degree or a certificate
of advanced study. The program
to be offered during the proposed
three-year sequence will fulfill
the subject matter 'requirement
in each field for the degree or
certificate. Applicants interested
in only a single year as well as

'One of the worst though most common

More' often than not, the result is an

Artistry and Appreciation
Picture the dynamic Franz Liszt in
concert before the Russian court. A
disturbing murmur -has made him suddenly
halt his ,lyrical creations;, the
pianist is plainly annoyed. Czar Nicholas
is absorbed in conversation with
his ;ldjutant, and it is several moments
before ohe realizes the music has
stoped. "What is the trouble?" he asks.
Liszt replies pointedly: "When the
Czar is speaking, it is the musician's
duty to be silent."
Imagine a dimly-lit New York riight
spot filled with chattering people,
laughter, and the cling of ice in,glasses.
The band has just concluded a' number,
and is about to play another composition.
Instead, composer Charles Mingus,
no Liszt, but a titanic figure with pas-
" sions to match his frame and an original
contributor to modern jazz, lays
his bass aside and clutches the microphone.
Labelling his audience "poppalopper,"
Mingus delivers a sarcastic
Phillipic against non-listening listeners
who follow'jazz because it is the
"thing to do."
These two instances of artistic in-

CO'UNCIL
RATIONALE
The annual Class and Council
elections now, past, . the elected
leaders of the srtudent body have
the upcomin.g seveml vaca-tion
months in whi0h to plari. their
approach and eff'ecting of student
government on this· campus. This
newspaper has repeatedly challenged
these leaders to establish
the necessary common norms for
progressive student adminiswa'
lion' of student affa!iJrs.
The STAG has implored the
officers to re-think their obligations
as officer-leaders. And we
ask further, in aocordance with
this, that the Council establish an
orientatiOn program fur its own
membership. The program should
include materials on the definition
and funcmon of an officer in
student government, a' comparative
study of basic student government
systems; discussions ~"
ahout officer-'00nstituent relations'
.-'-the officer's role as a symbol,
an initiator, and representative,
and about leadership on a personto-
person basis.
This event met with a vivid lack
of ,student-facuIty-administrative
support.
AS.N. is now faced with a
variety of questions. Should they
continue the' high calibre of
,events which made them famous
during the past year? Has there
been any noticeable effect on the
student body since A.S.N. ,c,ame
into existence?'And most importantly,
w:hy do the same students
and faculty always find the time
to attend the events sponsored by
the AS.N.?
Realizing that A,S,N. did not
achieve monetary success with
Medea. we wonder if there is not
a system whereby the Administration
or individual classes could
co-sponsor events with the AS.N.
The UnIversity is in the midst
of an, expansion program but
does this mean that intellectual
stimulation is, to suffer because
of a paucity of funds?
We also ask for consideration
of the possibilities of centering
responsibility for the physical
plant of the University in one
man to avoid the present problem
of receiving permission for
'use of a building only to find
that you then must receive spe,
cial permission to use the individual
rooms in that building.
Finally, we remind student,
,:fiaculty and Administration, that
the sohool now possesses, a proscenium
which, if used, could
add to the facets of the gymnasium.
We hope that one unsuccessful
event will not dissuade
the University from, attempting
similar events in the future.
The interested minority deserves
an opportunity to further
their education.
The intellectuaUy complacent
will remain but the intellectually
curious should not be submerged.

Appeamllces would indicate a
rift between the junior 'Class arid
this newspaper. Suggested reasons
are the lack of members -of
that class on the staff as editors
or writers, the~ifferences in
thinking and attitudes toward the
University, or the simple fact of
class rIvalry. For our part, we
should like to disclaim any prejudice
toward the Class of '63,
feeling it petty to offer this type
of destructive criticism as worthy
of a newspaper representing all
Fairfield students: The aim~ and
problems of both individuals and
the university as a whole leave
little room for suoh immaturity.
In this spirit, we congratulate
the Class of' '63 for their fine
showing in two recent undertakings,
the class elections and the
Dogwood Festival. Both events
contributed to the reputation of
that class. and the University, for
being conducted well and demonstrating
maturity. '.Dhe, promise
shown and high starndards set by
the oalibre of these activities
should guide them fOT their important
senior year.
GeneraLization and collective
viewing have hurt the reputation
of the class-but common sense
tells us that the inane (let us be
honest) actions of certain individualsshould
not condemn a
vast majority of men: to an, existence
of sneering remarks and
volatile rejections. Charity-no,
honesty is a virtue in this case.
Few know or admit the work
done in many areas by. the junior
class. Besides their predominant
athletic record, these men have
succeeded in the difficuIt science
courses, the political clubs, the
Cardinal Key, and the Student
Council. Do these achievements
and others like them justify a
blanket condemnartion of an entire
class?
But honesty is also necessary
on their part. Consoious of their
role in the University, they must
make it evident that their reputation
is largely undeserved. Perhaps
their interes'ts are other'
than the more obvious acrtJivities
like' publications; but within
their interests lie many of the
areas in which they' 0an be of
I>ervice to their fellow student
and the University. Their elect~
ons and week-end show the
present potenti'al. We expe0t
mU0h ofa senior class-and reel
we shall not be disappointed in'
this one. It is up to them. In 1:Jheii:r
effort, we must not hesitate to
offer our assistance.

Plan's Origin
The program originated in
February of this year' when nine
men, chosen by Reverend Father
Rector, were asked to meet with
him._ It was at this meeting that
the innovation of the new senior
class gift was brought forth.
Subsequent meetings among
these nine men developed discussion
on the merits of the pro-gram.
It was finally unanimously
decided that the senior class
should adopt and carry out the
program. The original nine men
were then supplemented with an
additional twenty-two senior
class leaders to make a total
working-eommittee of thirty-one.
Contact with the remainder of
the class was to be made through
personal solicitations by these
committeemen,
The committe~men were selected
on the basis of the geographical
location of their homes
as well as leadership qualities in
both academic and extracurricular
areas. The follOWing men
comprised the Senior Class Gift

giving the people of one of

Together with a group of other

the 1500 blQCk of Eighth

out of the backyards.
In an interview this reporter
asked the boys how they became
interested in 'the project.
They explained they had gone
to Washington t() celebrate the

Jim, a local politician. When
they arrived, he told them abou't

I wrote nothing but sonnets;

complicated as I could devise.
In this way I taught myself a
good bit about the limits of
rhyme and meter. Now' I consciously
avoid rhyme and meter,
concentrating rather on sound,
on music. The English language
possesses .an incredible aural
richness which rhyme has betrayed
rather than exploited.
The trick is of course to make
the sound mean. to make the
very richness of sound and
structure embody a metaphysical
concept.

DALE'A. Me-NULTY
THE THEATRE
The current Broadw'ay scene has been pictured in various
ways by various critics but they have been unanimous in their
apreciation of a drama currently playing on Broadway, A Man
For All Seasons. This play has received many plaudits for its
author and for its cast, especially for ,Paul Scofield and his portrayal
of Thomas More.,
From the position ,of remoteness that can be gained only
after the play has been on Broadway' for some time a' consideration
of just what makes this an exceptional play seems in qrder.
It is also an oportunity to make t e transition from theory to
practice or applicatIOn in this column.
The first impression that one receives from this play is that
it isn't all that it has been praised to be. This is only the immediate
reaction. What follows is a continual recall' of instances
and situations from the play that ~ake one realize that the
magnificence of this work lies in its subtle understatement.
'Nowhere is any relationship or any character or any conflict
blatal;tly thrown at the audience. Robert Bolt, the author, has
carefully tooled and worked over every detail until nothing
remains that is not an integral, polished part of this whok It
I is the.art that can make,,\~mosaiclooklike an oil painting.
BEffore dealing with Mr. Scofield one must mention' a sapporting
player ~ and the role that he contributes to the drama.
This is the role of the commOn man. At one point he states that
this is really the time and the tragedy of the common man. The
play then follows this idea until we reach the final scene in which
the common man takes off the cap of the juryman who has just
cor.iemned Thomas More and accepts the black'mask of the
executioner from the judge. This man is the unifying factor: for
the series of episodic scenes from that 'play. By, focusing tile
unity of the play on this man the author has emphasized the rOle
of this man in the play and in the world. At the same time, he
does not steal the show from the actual center of interest, Thomas
MDre.
Mr. Scofield can be discussed in view of his performance and
also in view of the role that he portrays. His role of Thomas
More is the role of a man of feeling imd sensitivity whose prowess
as an attorney of law rests on his deep penetration of the philosophy
of law and his deep faith in God and in' the universal order.
More's training as a lawyer supplies him witli an uncompromising
and unfailing logic that cannot admit of the end justifying
the means. He is a man of strong prinGiples in the archaic understanding
of the word. His principles are his life and tO,negate
these principles would in turn negate his life. He is not a boisterous
hero who gallantly goes to his execution waving flags
and laughing at his foes. He is a, humble man and, afrpid of
suffering' as any other might be; yet his values do not inclu'de a
compromise to avoid pain and incon.venience. ,For him to do this
would not make the life that he had saved worth the vioaltion
of the very stuff he had built it on.
In this steadfastness he has magnificently contrasted to the
ui1commited, unprincipled, undisciplined common man who from
one moment to the next changes his costume, his character, his
philosophy arid his allegiance. There is no internal power or
strength, there is not even weakness in this common man; there
is only the nothingness of noncommitment and -non-feeling about
anything.
As 'an actor, Mr. Scofield brings t.o the American stage the
classical and rigorous training of the· English Theatre. The role
of Thomas More is certainly not an easy one to portray.' Its problems
begin with the character of the man himself and culminate
in his political condemnation by the- King's ministers. Pathos
couid be introduced at any moment and, sentimentality could
overcome tragedy but they do not. Mr, Scofield uses every energy
and technique of the actor to surmount these difficulties. From
the subtle, yet powerful voice changes to his posture and physical
r~latoinships to other actors he brings the character of Thomas
More to a high pitch of dynamic immediacy. Nothing is lost in
this portrayal. Just as the scenes of the play cover a wide range
of locales and situations, and seem to be painted with large
sweeps of the author's brush, so in contrast the ,c;h"racter of
Thomas More is minutely developed by Mr. SCofield with care
and deliberation that denote the detail of a miniature.
Thus even a few reflections indicate the wealth of areas that
can be appreciated in this production. Nothing' has been said
about the supporting characters nor about the settings, lighting
or direction. All of these production areas are worthy of consideration
and discussion. However, they cannot be handled in
this format by its very nature.
The most' general praise of A Man For All Seasons is that
it is a thoroughly integrated production. No area is weak or
distracting. In an era when lack of attention in script and productiOn
characterizes so many Broadway offerings, this drama
can stand alone in its totality of effect and feeling.

segments are bound to be hurt
by tai'iff.-reduced foreign imports.
The temptation is strong
for a vote-seeking congressman.
to reject reduction of tariffs to
gain support of certain local
.interests.
The' president, however, has
also made provisions in the administration
bill to compensate
for adjustments that will have
to be made. In a recent speech
at New Orleans he stated, "no
one -and, I say, no one - is
going to be sacrificed to the
national interest with a medal
or an empty grocery bag."
The new trade bill is really
the most imaginative, far-reaching,
and promising measure pro-'
posed in many years on Capitol
Hill. .It will affect us all very
directly regarding jobs, prosperity
and Western unity. The Atlantic
Community has been divided
too long by artificial trade
barriers. This bill should appeal
both to conservatives, who seek
the opportunity for free enterprise
to compete on an even
basis, and liberals, who seek to
break down the barriers between
nations. It should appeal
to us all as an opportunity to
step forward to a better world.
Watch this bill closely. What
congress does with it will affect
your life for many years to
come.

Actually there are many reasons. Artcarved diamond rings
must meet traditionally high standards for color, cut, clarity
and carat weight. Their award-winning styles are a delight
to the eye. And, they take all of the guesswork out of buying
a diamond. Every Artcarved ring carries a written guarantee
for quality and perma'nent value that's recognized and reo
spected by fine jewelers from coast to coast. We think you'll
agree with America's lovely College Queens. '
Stop in at your jeweler and be sure to see all the exquisit-e
Artcarved:diamond rings-the rings you buy with confidence
and wear with pride.

Pirates Bomb Stags. 21-1
Fairfield for the sec 0 n d
straight year failed to win a I
league game as they fell 21-1
before a mighty Seton Hall on-I
slaught. The win was the fourth
in league play for the JerseY-,1
ites and they are second in the
conference boasting a 13-2 re-cord
overall. i
The Stags were spared total I
disgrace when they scored a run
in the sixth on three walks and
an interference call on the catcher.
Held hitless for 8% innings
by no windup pitcher Don Klein,
the Stags finally broke the' spell I
in the ninth. Bill Schumann
looped an opposite field double
to right fl)r the only FU hit of
th elong afternoon. Ironically,
Schumann was given a life on
the previous pitch when the
catcher misjudged his foul pop I
behind the plate. I
Ken Wagner was the starter
and loser for the Stags giving
up a total of eleven runs while
being clipped for ten hits and
two walks. Each of the three

home runs as toe Pinites had a
field day at the plate as well as
on the field. On more than one
occasion, sparkling fielding kept \
pitcher Klein's no-hit bid going.

Stags Win in 10th. S·"
The Stags notched their second
win of the season with a
two run, tenth inning rally to
beat Southern Connecticut, 5-4.
The New Havenites scored a
single run off reliever Ed Ski- i
biak in their half of the tenth
on a fielder's choice. In the bottom
of the tenth, Badolato
reached first on an infield single
and scored on Ed Skibiak's
booming triple. The winning
run crossed the plate a moment
later when Paul Simko hit a sacrifice
fly to right field.
Skibiak, who took over for
starter Ken Wagner in the
seventh, received credit for the
victory, his first, of the season.

a long three-bagger scoring Pijar
and he himself scored as Robinson

The Blackbirds scored what
proved to be the winning run

In the ninth, the Stags made
a bid to tie the score as Simko
led off with a single and Jim

Eight R,ecords Broken In Scholastic Track Meet
by JOHN SCOTT
Since this the last issue of the year and our one and only
opportunity to recognize our spring sports, it is only fitting that
we do so.
The baseball team got off to a fast start winning three of
their first four-losing to LIU by a single run. Then they went
into a tailspin losing six of their next seven prior to the Post
game. Their early season success was due to some fine pitching
by Badolato, Skibiak, and Wagner, and timely hitting. The midseason
collapse can be attributed to sloppy fielding, and a lack
of clutch hitting and pitching. The hitters have been hitting,
but at the wrong time, as is evidenced by the number of men
left on base in recent outings. Eight errors in one game-and it's
happened more than once-don't help the pitchers much, nor
do games like Seton Hall help the hurlers' ERA.
After the Seton Hall contest, the batting' averages showed
that the t~am as a whole was hitting .226 with 83 for 368. The
leaders were:
Player AB H Pct. Rbi
DeGennaro ".... 47 17 .362 10
. Simko 31 10 .323 4
Skibiak 33 10 .303 6
Cook .. 20 6 .300 1
Badolato 42 12 .286 2
Pijar 30 6 .200 1
V{hite 15 3 .200 4
The remainder of the squad, including the pitchers, is hitting
only .127 with just 19 hits in 150 appeal~ances. However, Clisham
and Schumann have 7 and 4 runs batted in respectively. DeG~
nnaro, .Skibiak and Schumann have been stroking the ball
WJth consIstency, but Schumann's problem has been placing his
shots.
. The fi.el?ing, despite the flood of errors, has been highlighted
by ~d Sklblak who handles his glove at first like a pro. Flashyfieldmg
outfielder Don Pijar has, on more than one occasion
taken away extra base bids with over the shoulder and running
?ackhanded catches. Rich Badolato, too, has turned in some fieldmg
gems at third.
. On th~ m~und, Wa,gner had a fine 1.27 ERA in 21% innings
pnor to hIS stmt against Seton Hall. Ed Skibiak, who is having
a good year at bat .and as a iirst sacker, is having his troubles
on the hIll. Ed has gIVen up 20 runs-17 earned-in his 26 innings,
DICk Badolato has worked 26% innings thus far, giving up only
10 earned runs for a 3.38 ERA.
. ~oach Feroleto has been platooning his players consistently
In hIS attempt~ to come up WIth a winning combination. As an
example of thIS, DeGennaro started in left against Seton Hall
Johnny Mountain took over at second base while Schumna~
moved .to short. This strategy backfired when six of the eight
errors m the game were committed in the infield.
The crop of sophomores have not yet jelled, and in some
cases have not lIved up to pre-season expectation. But these
men will certainly be heavily counted upon next. year when
Badolato and Schumann bid farewell to Fairfield in June.
Turning to the track team, we find them impressing favorably
with their 2-1 record in dual meet competition thus far
thIs season under first-year mentor, Mr. Nick Giaquinto. Captain
Jack Barry has been the main reason for this success. Jack's
ability to win or place in two or three events have helped Fairfield's
point score in meet after meet. The brunt of the burden
~as ~een car~ie~ by the track men-Barry, Daly, Longua, and
rookIe sensatIOn Bruce Linsky. In the field events Bill Fabbri
and Jack Fontanella with his fibreglass pole have performed
admirably.
The freshman team has lost to Southern Connecticut, 68-53
and to Queens, 82-46. Despite their record the freshme~ boast
several promising men-Dermod Norton, L.' Zeugner, as well as
field men R. Kappenberg and pole vaulter Karl Hagen.
The tennis team is having an exceptional year having lost
only one match and that to highly rated U. Mass. The team's
only regret is their skimpy schedule. Perhaps next year. . . .?
Walt Donnelly and Jerry Magner gave Fr. Ring's netmen a 1-2
~unch that is .hard to reckon with. Walt, Jerry, and frosh Quentu~
