Walter Ong, S.J. by RICHARD LAWLESS The campus chapter of the Jesuit national honor society, Alpha Sigma Nu recently presented Fr. Walter Ong, S.J. who spoke on the problem, "The Outsider Inside Society Today." F1'. Ong is one of the leading Catholic intellectuals in the country and is well-known as an author and lecturer. Formerly associated with St. Louis University, he is now a Resident Scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study of Wesleyan University where he is doing work on a forthcoming book. From this book came the subject of his lecture. . Dealing with a wide, but' unified range of topics, Fr. Ong first gave the history of the concept of the outsider. He traced (Conl'd on Page 6, Col. 4) ZOOENDA TONIGHT Sen'.

FitzGerald, S.3'., president and rector of Fairfield was the celebrant of the Vow Mass which took place in the community chapel in Bellarmine hall with the families and friends in attendance. Father Murphy attended Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass., and received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Boston College in 1950. He also was awarded a Master's degree from Boston College. He continued his graduate studies in the classics at Fordham University until 1954. (Coni'd on Page 8.

Speaking to an overflow audience of students and faculty members under the auspices of the Public Affairs Club, Secretary Ribicoff said, "as a nation we can afford a far greater commitment to education at all levels. What we cannot afford is to stay dead center." "Our adversaries in the struggle for power have realized that the education and training of their vouth offer the key to their powe; and strength." "But we have not realized it. And unless we soon do so, and embark on a massive effort to pull ourselves up by our own educational bootstraps, the balance of brainpower may tiP.and tip dangerously - against us."

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.

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. (Con1'd on Page 4, Col. 5) Published by Students of Fairfield University. Fairfield. Conn. Sec'y Abraham Ribicoff Abraham A.

To the best of my knowledge, there .is no Father Martin Keneally, S.J. Dean William Keneally, S.J. was not told to leave Louisana by his Jesuit superiors. With the rest of the article, I agree fully. Rev. John L. Bonn, S.J. REPLY TO VINCENT CARIFIELLO'S 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. Charles S.

MOORE NEWS EDITO'R FEATURES EDIT'OR KENNETH McCLUSKEY RICHARD LAWLESS 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. Dick Floor '62 duce a qua lit y University 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.

He is told little, if anything, of a candidate's qualifications beyond his acceptance by the authorities for his basic academic and disciplinary record. The STAG proposes that a standard form of the candidate's past experience, present student record, including activities, and proposals for the future be attached Ylith the established petition for office. The information should be published prior to an open, well-publicized student assembly at least presenting the candidates for President, forcing public appearance, statement and questioning. The Student Council must demand some guarantee of respqnsible future leadership. Elections will soon dominate campus activity. The time for decision on this proposal is now. the wailing wall is properly established in any Dean's office. Thus, intra-Faculty, personal, or private minority g r 0 u p complaints will not appear in the STAG. If the STAG is to present the truth and concretely answer student cries over uninteresting content, the newspaper definitely needs student interest by written, constructive criticism and support by joining the staff. At present, the majority of university departmen ts cannot be covered for need of reporters. The 'if's' are many, the answer is the same. This newspaper will not become a weekly until students work for it. Financial self-sufficiency, informative news, valued editorial content, m 0 r e regular publication, and with the least necessitated time removed from studies - all depend on your active support.

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."

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. THE STAG Prof. O'Brien Speaks To St. Ive's Guild by ROBERT W.

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 in Xavier 505. Please bring your own blindfolds and a fat wallet. sits at his right hand, John Fitzgerald "Fearless Jack" Kennedy - Laos, Vietnam, Berlin, Cuba and in the United Nations, not even to mention his glorious achievements of his domestic policy. I only sight these two examples to show you, Mr. Callabash, whoever you are, that muckrakers can be buried and discredited. Mickey O'Donnell '62 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.

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.

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 .BlIJOC: Buy Marlboro On Campus. Buy them downtown, too. Either place, you get a lot to like.

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 next meeting of the Young Democrats, on Wednesday, Feb. 21.

NEW STAG EDITORS SEEI( STUDENT SUPPORT RIBIOOFF (Cont'd from Page L Col. 3) 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."

Senator Goldwater, Republican senator from Arizona, is 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 on January 17 that he wished to make an address in a letter received by William Sangiovanni. This announcement culminates nearly two years of work on behalf of the University's Young Republican Club. Mr. Sangiovanni feels that this is the biggest speaker the club has sponsored on campus since it was formed in 1956, and the publicity expected will be beneficial both to the university as well as to the campus Republican organization.

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.

He cited the success of last year's Festival and the recent Winter Carnival as examples.

The Festival is sponsored by the Junior Class as a whole, and for that reason no general chairman has been United Nations, a knowledgable Stat~ Department, and prayer. of the problem. Direct dealings with the Soviets seem futile. The adamant attitude of the U.S.S.R. not to agree on disarmament, nuclear test ban, or even a modus vivendi for negotiations doesn't make the picture any more rosy. They turn dangerous events on and off like running water. Neutralists, when neutral, grow more helpless as the danger becomes more significant. Finally we have had crisis after crisis. If history repeats itself like our textbooks and professors tell us, then our avid propents of victory and not peace will get their wish, be dead and not red. Rationally I witness only despair. Institnctively, I cling to hope. For this reason, or rather wishful thinking, we use the best possible, yet imperfect, tools at hand: the HORIZONS The Sodality of Our Lady of Fairfield is conducting ·a Rosary every evening in Loyola Ohapel at 6:00 p.m. The Itime was changed from 6:20, to make it more convenient for the student body to attend. Also added was a list of intentions for each day which is posted in the back of the Chapel and ·announced before each Rosary. By THOMAS TIERNEY "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 Page Eight U.N. (Cont'd from Page 3, Col. 4) 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. ---------------- \\fif/ figure on a real thirst- !luencherl 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.

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. This year Fairfield will hold the position of State Chairman. This position will be held by Michael Hurley. During the session he will act as governor.

VOWS (Cont'd from Page L Col. 4) He entered the Society of Jesus in 1945 and was ordained in 1957 by Richard Cardinal Cushing. The following year Father Murphy received his licentiate in Sacred Theology from Weston College, and then studied Ascetical Theology at St. Beuno's College in Wales, Great Britain. Prior to joining the faculty at Fairfield U in June of 1959, Father served at Holy Cross. Father Scully entered the Order in 1946 and was ordained June 18, 1955. He was graduated from Boston College with B.S. and M.A. degrees and received his licentiate in Sacred Heart Theology from Weston. Final vows are usually taken 17 years following a candidate's entrance in the Society. The only two days during the year for the ceremonies are Feb. 2, the feast of the Purification of our Blessed Mother, and Aug. 15, the Feast of the Assumption.

FO 7-4404 A Convenient Stop For Your Friends and Relatives Just 5 minutes from campus Recommended by AAA February 16, 1962 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 how do you like your blueeyed boy Mister Death.

MICHAEL LAWRENCE On Saturday, January 20, in Milford High School, MiHord, Connecticut, the Citizens AntiCommunist Committee of Connecticut held its second annual Freedom Forum. The Committee's motto is "Communism's greatest asset: our ignorance," and the purpose of the Freedom Forum was to aid in dispelling that ignorance through education of the public in the nature and tactics of Communism. Prominent anti - Communist speakers and lecturers appeared in the progarm, which lasted from 2:00 to 5:30 p.m. Rev. David Head of Kings College spoke on the moral bakrupticy of Communism and our duty to oppose By RICHARD TINO 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 been helping until they all pass on. 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.

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 MVP trophy from the Bridgeport CYO for his clutch shooting and fine floor game.

The lead changed hands four times after that and the score was tied twice, before Fairfield netted 10 straight points to lead 46-36 at the intermission. In the second half UB outscored the Stags 42-38, but they maintained the lead throughout with the aid of key baskets by Hutter and Macarchuk. It was Nick's two free throws with 34 seconds remaining that put the game out of the Knight's reach. UB was hurt when 6-5 Rich Colonese fouled out with 3:10 remaining, and when Joe Yasinski fouled out with 1:22 left. Each of UB's starters hit double figures, with Dan Morello high man with 20 points. Fairfield's scorers included Hutter (24), Macarchuk (21), and Jenkins (17). Pirates Edge Stags 100-96 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. (Cont'd on Page 12, Col. I) by VICTOR TESORIERO' 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 closely by Carl Orlando's THE 5 T AG by JOHN SCOTT 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. Hutter, Macarchuk Pace Win Over UB A full house at UB watched the Stags extend their winning streak to five with an 84-78 win over a scrappy Bridgeport five. During the first half the Knights led by as many as six points, 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.

Last year the Stags beat U.B. 87-75. 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. Bobby Jenkins drives for two against Iona in the first half. Bobby led Stags to 91-85 overtime win. by PATRICK HURLEY 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.

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 - 54.7% and followed by Jim Hooley of Boston College53.45%). Rarely forcing his shots, Bob prefers to pass rather than shoot off-balance. His outstanding effort in Fairfield's victory over Fordham in which Bob nailed 29 points while shooting a more amazing 64% coupled with his fine play in the Stag's triumph over Bridgeport, earned Bob the plaudits of being elected the most valuable player in New England and a member of the Eastern Small College All-Star Team for the week of January 8th.

See what will be worn on campus this spring at Read's today! SPRING COMES FIRST By ANDY DONNELLY 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.

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 in the small college standings. In New England, Fairfield is rated one of the three top small col1ege teams together with Williams and Assumption. TEXACO SNOW PLOWING - TOWING _. TUNE-UP SERVICE ROAD SERVICE - PICK UP & DELIVERY CORNER OF NORTH BENSON & POST ROAD 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.

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 NCAA Regiollals March 9-10 Winner·of Tri-State to Qualify THE STAG Two TJndefeated; Leonard Tw'o Up In the senior-junior division thus far, T. Leonard's five boasts a 6-0 mark to lead the loop. Leonard is backed by Bernie Podur~ial and Jack Kovaleski, and the trio is averaging 31.5 D.p.g. Leonard's quintet has beaten each team in the league Ibut Lynch, whom he has yet to face. Lynch is in second place snorting a 4-0 record, mainly on his league-leading average of 19.4 p.p.g. John Scanlon (12.8 p.p.g.) and R. Greene (10.4 p.p.g.) have also contributed to Lynch's four victories. John Mullen's team rounds out the top three, but they have lost to both Leonard and Lynch. Three teams are tied for fourth, and Duffy and DeGennaro complete the standings. It is interest-ing to note that each of the two last place teams has two men in the top ten scorers, but have only a 1-9 record between them.

Fairfield led only twice, and that by a margin of one point, Seton Hall led by two at the half, mainly on the shooting of Dan Coombs who netted 21 of his 29 point total in the opening period. Bouncing back in the second half, the Stags tied the score at 51 all and built up a lead of as many as 5 points, before Seton Hall fought back to lead 72-71 with just under 12 minutes remaining. Less then five minutes later, the Pirates gained an 8281 advantage and maintained the lead til the final buzzer. The Stags tried desperately to tie the score in the final minutes, but could only manage to come within two points. Each of Fairfield's starting five hit double figures led by Hutter with 22 points and Macarchuk and Jenkins with 21 apiece. Jenkins, Macarchuk Pace Win Over Stonehill The Stags returned to their winning ways as they edged Stonehill 60-57 in a non-league game two weeks ago. The game was hard fought down to the wire, and only in the final minute was the contest decided. With the Stags ahead by one and forty seconds left, Bobby Jenkins hit on two foul shots to put the Stags ahead 58-55. Stonehill then came back to move within one point at 58-57.

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.

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. FAIRFIELD RESTAURANT 1418 POST RD. TAP ROOM ASN Dance Prog. Dance is the language of the body. It is a universal expression common to aU nations and to all eras. The Arts Forum of Alpha Sigma Nu presented the History of the Dance in an attempt to unify this theme and present e~amples of various dance forms through the ages. Charmingly narrated by Mrs. fortune will finance the bankrupt Empire. I'll so many respects this is a delightful satir-e and spoof on BIoman civilization with some r.eferences that are modern in application. It is a pity tha,t the production bogs down when the idea is carried too ~&r and is losf1; in the absurdities of the plot and the char-acters. It begins to be too much when the emperor's main concern in the face of ruin is for the egg production for his morning bre-akiast. It reaches the point of no return when Romulus, reSiplendent in imperial gown, declares tJhiat he has realized the plight of the empire all along and has iIlltentionally ignored it to leave it to its ine\'iJtable fate. DesrtJruction is what the empire needs, he olaims. Here com-edy is loslt to moralizing and the trend becomes WODse when the conquering Goth marches in garbed in a uniform resembling a German storm trooper to deolare thlat h-e surrenders all his conquests and his subjects to the magnmcense of Romulus. It turns out t1h!at they are both chicken fancierS'. Howard 'Daubman suggests that we ought to be gratefUll for Romulus. He could only have meant Cyr11 Ritohard whose superb comic sense saves the play fmm an earlie,r ruin. DALE A. McNULTY 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.

Cathleen Neshitrt p'lays his wife who concerns herself with the fate of Blome and eng1ineers a marriage of convenience between her daughter and a GeTman pants maker whose IN However, his misinterpretation of history perplexes me. He 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 ..." MICHAEL CURLEY 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 the Editor:
I have read with interest the
communication from Mr. Carrafiello,
To the best of my knowledge,
there .is no Father Martin
Keneally, S.J.
Dean William Keneally, S.J.
was not told to leave Louisana
by his Jesuit superiors.
With the rest of the article,
I agree fully.
Rev. John L. Bonn, S.J.
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
Not only did Senator Goldwater
vote for the bill-but he
was one of the sponsors of the
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.

KENNETH McCLUSKEY RICHARD LAWLESS
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
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.

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."
