He said • ,that he was particularly concerned with the problem of automation which might undermine the hard earned gains of labor 'since the New Deal, and stated that he would support any initiative on the part of Congress or'the administration to seek solutions for the problem of automation which makes one part of the population ~ro_sperous an~ conVd,; p.6, col.3 ,Dr, Norman stated that he IS l proponent of the New Frontier and especially Civil Rights, Civ11 Liberties, Federal aide to schools, medical 'care, to the' aged, tax relief, and tax reform.

'Construction Of September, 1964 is the, target date for the proposed StudentFaculty Center and the Student ReSidence Hall. Th_ Science BUilding proposed last has no definite starting date as yet. The Student-Faculty Center will house a new caieteria accommodating 1200 $tudents. It will replace Loyolacaieteria designed to hold 442, but now being used by over 900. The Center will also provide for separate faculty and guest dining. Conference facilities will also be available for 200 delegates. T}le proposed Student Residence Hall will offer accommodation for 300 students. The pre- 'sent dormitories hold 621 on campus whiie 250 students board off-campus. However, off-campus expansion is considered to be very little over this number. There is an expected enrollment of 1600 students for, 1965 andac.., cording to these figures, a new dormitory andl~aieteti.i area a necessity. 'The Science Building will contain classrooms, laboratories,' science library and office space in addition to proper research, ' instrumentation, animal room and storage facilities, Mr. Stanley Robertson, director of the office of Development, announced that the proposed student- Faculty Center and the student Residence Hall were expected to be financed by government loans, but that the Science Building would be financed by corporations and per son a 1 grants•. The corporation loans Come from both local and national firms. The particular concentration of the Development office is on these loans especially from firms who 'employ Fairfield Alumni.

There, they took three Spanish litera- , ture courses, one history course and one seminar which was con, ducted by Fr. Leeber. Bill is a candidate for an ,A.B. degree with Spanish and economics majors. He comes' from Manhattan, N.Y. and attended La Salle Military Academy in Oakdale, L.I.

As is the procedure of the program, the men stayed at private homes within 45 minutes of the Un1versity~ The trip to school cost about two cents by bus.

JOSEPH KEARNS <64 In my opinion it is a good idea in that it gives the school an opportunity to become more. unified through a common bond of experience. Naturally this will entail some lack. of freedom,the few will have to suffer for the many, but dissenters have the opportunity to Jive off campus. * * (Author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boys!" .; and "Barefoot Boy With Cheek".) ROY CAMERO '67 I sincerly believe that the number of. meals should be arbitrary to each person's desire. This wouldeliminate expenditure and waste for both student and cafeteria. When there is a great demand for a product, a great supply is placed on the market. When there is a small demand, there is a small supply. Take, for example, castanets. You walk into . any average American toWn today and I'll wager you won't see more than eighty or ninety castanet shops. That is because the demand is small. For Marlboro Cigarettes, on the other hand, the demand is great. Thus, you will find Marlboros - with all their yumniy rich tobacco flavor and pure white Selectrate filter and pliable soft pack and unpliable Flip-Top box-at any counter where cigarettes are sold in every one of our fifty great States and Duluth. To Adam Smith, I say, belongs the distinction of popularizing economics. Mr. Smith was followed by David Ricardo. In fact, everywhere he went he was followed by David Ricardo. Mr. . Smith finally got so annoyed that he summoned a bobby, as British policemen are called, and had Mr. Ricardo arrested. This later became known as the Louisiana Purchase. Upon his release from gaol, as a British jail is called, Mr. Ricardo reported to his parole officer, Thomas Robert Malthus. They soon became fast friends;-and one night over ~ game of whist they invented the stock exchange, or chutney, as it is called in England. , Well sir, with the British having, you might say, a corrieI' on economics, the French decided tluit they wanted some economics too. Being, however, a proud nation, they refused simply to borrow British economics, but insisted on inventing their own. At first they tried using the truffle hound as a medium Of exchange. When this proved less than satisfactory, they switched to pomade. Discouraged by this second disappointment, they finally shrugged and said, "Oh, who cares about economics anyhow?" and returned to the guillotine and Maurice Chevalier. America, I am pleased to'report, had much better success with economics. Our early merchants quickly broke down economics into its two major categories-coIns_and folding money-and today, as a result of their wisdom, we can all enjoythe automatic toll station. Well sir, I could go on and on about this fascinating subject, but I know you're all in a tearing hurry to rush out and sign up for Econ I. So I will leave you now with two kindly words of farewell: Gresham's La~'@l964MuBhuJmaD Many of you have been avoiding economics because it is so widely known as "the dismal science." Oh,' good friends, stop ch,eating yourselves of many a laugh and cheer, because economics is a positive riot! True, it is' called the dismal science, but that is only because it was invented in 1681 by Walter C. Dismal.' It is easy to understand why Mr. Dismal's discovery ot ,economics is today almost forgotten, for the fact is that he himselfonIy stayed with the subject for two or ~hree days.. After that he took up embonpoint, which means fatness. It is said that at his apogee, Mr. Dismal reached 1200 pounds. This later became known as Guy ,Fawkes Day. It was not until 1776 when Adam Smith published his Wealth of Nations (or Ozymandias, as it is usually known as) that the world came to realize what a rosy, twinkly, fun subject economics is. As Mr. Smith showed in his jocular little treatise, ' there is nothing complicated about economics. We, the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, are tobacconists, not economists. But this much we know about supply and demand: you demand full flavor in a filter cigarette; we supply it-Marlboro/ ECONOMICS CAN BE CHUCKLES DAVID WRIGHT <65 I don't think it is right to coerce students to bUytickets because some students go home weekends and miss meals.

Commenting . on education: <'Some studerits seem to show an interest in learning greater than ,I anticipated, but there seems to be among many students an unfortunate limitation of intellectual interests which is evidencect by their TV habits, lack of interest in current events, lackbf support of the lecture series, and an inadequate development of outside reading' interests. Maritain makes the distinction between the <natural intelligence' 'and the <trained intelle,ct.' The natural intelligence is man's curiosity, his desire to know, his spirit of intellectual search. The trained ,intellect is the natural intelligence channeled, disciplined, made scientific and schQlarly. !fa wide and general desire to know is not awakened•••then the ,later training of the intelle«t in more disciplined ways simply deadens and narrows the natural intelligence. And the Jresult will be the world's most uneducated man-the specialist. It should be the job of the earlier years of education to stimulate the natural intelligence. In the present state of education this job falls largely to the first two years of college. To create this spirit of curiosity, to intensify this desire to know is the greatest cpallenge of the freshman and sophomore ,teacher."

Mr. Madden graduated from. Boston College in 1959. While in, college 'he wrote for the school newspaper and was managing edi-' tor, h~was 3§.fdiiitant editor of The STYLVS,a literary magazine, and Editor-in- Cillef of th~( ,. Yearbook. After graduation he joined the Society of Jesus, en- . tering the novitiate at Shadowbrook. After spending two years at Shadowbrook he went to Weston to study philosophy. After obtilining his Ph.L. Mr. Madden was assigned to teach philosophy, at Fairfield University~ . "The basis on which I teach philosophy is that our job in the . philosophy department is to expose the student, il1 as intelligent a way as possible, to the diversity of philosophic views which history offers, and to aid him to form, through reading, r;eflection and intelligent guidance, both a philosophical attitude and a personal philosophy. The idea of philosophy as an established body of dogmatic truths. seems to be nothing more than a ~ denial .of history. Philosophy is a personal reflective search for truth: it develops with history and' is as diversified as human per-' sonality." Besides teaching philosophy Mr. Madden is Assistant Director of Intramurals. It is planned to turn over the intramural program to the Student 'Athletic Association under the guidance of the Student· Government.· Presently there is a pilot committee composed of freshmen and sophomores functioning in this ca ·pacity., Mr~ Madden expects a great deal of Fairfield. "Itseems to me that Fairfield is in many ways a better school than I expected but much of its value seems to. be in the area of potency. Fairfield's main asset is its youth and its opportunityto fashion its own traditions and personality. Among the faculty there is a solid core committed to make this tradition one ofexcellence. The realization on the part of the student body of the part that they have to play in creating these traditions of excellence seems to be growing slowly.

Academically Vinny is not suffering, and while he is not on the Dean's List, neither have...seen his name listed among those this past week who "sholild see the Dean immediately." He was lucky. Mostly he was lucky because The STAG can and does take a good deal of time. So what? Vincent is either smart or he knows someone in the office. Toward -the end ofthe semester time came around to decide on appointing a new editor-in-chief and chairman of the board. One day in the midst of this decision Vinny sliggestedto the news editor that he run an opinion poll ask1Ilg, "Would you like to be editor-in-chief of the newspaper?" Most people would think .that it is at least a responsible position, perhaps weilding, some small -influence in campus mat..: terse The STAG is a good deal of responsibility, and no one in their right mind would take on the job.

The Spectus period is no more than Ii "Heeler" periodofobservationi in which the Key officers. especially the members, can observe the applicants in experimental duties. For the meantime, the Spectus period will last until the 21 or 23 of April. It is hoped that this Spectus period will be extended over -a year when the changes in .the' Key membership plan become final. . The reason for such an extended Spectus period was discussed and explained in this fashion: The Key is coming out in the open. We are now trying to clean house a bit. But before we can do things for the University, we must first work for ourselves. We can do this by making sure that we accept men of caliber; men of potentials. This Spectus period is advisable, for it is in this fashion that we can tell ifwe do have such men. We shotild do this in fairness to the University., and with consideration to the individual.

On November. 15, 1959, Pete Seeger sign~d the Communist Pal"ty theSIS.

Questions. .Many Thanks I would like to compliment David Freschi on his constructive analysis of Pete .Seeger and his skill as a folk-singer. Howe~r, I feel that I must objeot most strongly when, in the last paragraph, Mr. Freschi discusses, not folkmusic. but right and' leftwing politics, or at least his conception of them. . Mr. Freschi clearly inufers that anyone to the political right of: Pete Seeger is, in fact, a non-patriot, a bigot, or a fool. I. for one, do not like Pete Seeger, and I resen t being classified into one of the three above mentioned categories by someone who obviously. doesn't know what he's talking about. So now that we've heard Mr. Freschi's opinion on what he thinks isn't "too far le6t, .. let's hear the facts. Some of the more pertenent . facts regarding Pete Seeger and his . politics are as fol-' lows: ( I) He is typical of the enitertainer who gives his time and talent to the support of the Communist apparatus. He has been engaged in Com- '. munist activities for two (?) decades .' as well as being a puppet of the communist conspiracy a:s a folk-singer. . I would like to take this opportumty to thank all those who contri- . bu·ted their time and efforts to the succesS of this year's Wititer Carnival. I would first like to thank the members of the Committee who so willingly gave of their time with no external reward for themselves. Without their aid. there could never even' have been a Winter Carnival. Next, I would ·like to thank the Queen's Contest; Judges Miss Mary Kirk, Fr. O. E. Nickerson S.J., and Mr. Carmen Donnarumma for their time and patience at a -rather unenviable job. No list would be complete without thanking all those )'Tho attended. For it's th~ people who attencl that make a weekend and no amount of' planning could ever replace them. Lastly, I would like to thank Fr. William Carr S.3., our moderator, whose. words of encouragement kept me g010g when 'all else failed. I realize that I have omitted many ( too mi1OY) names but I only hope they do not feel they have been forgotten because they could never be forgotten. . Gratefully, George M.

ONIONPATCH COUNCILOR RESIGNS "I see by the papers that one of our S~ydent Councilors has resigned. :Like many other stUaents,. 1 wonaeTwny• .JUst What lana 01 a sltUafion woUld prompt SUCD action? Was it ~ Interminable wrangling of the" Council over picayune points? Was it the unimaginative and reactionary attitude of the Council? Or was it a mere grandstand play? . The reasons for resignation have to be both personal and publlc. . Persollal, because a m.an cannot participate long in a typical Student Council debate without loosirlg :h'1s' self':teSpect. Yettesigning for' purely personal reasons woUld betray the trust of the councilor's constitutuents. In conscience he inust fulfill his obligations to his class as he sees best. Herein lies his publiG duty; and reasons for resignation. . .• . Within tile next few months student government at'Fairfield will reaeha crisis point, a point; in facti of life or death. A new com- , prehensive .Student Government Constitution will be presented for .litudent approvfU. and, _nodo~gf,will be passed•. Then what? A miracu- . lous ~f~rmationof student govetnme~t to allvmg en~ybe.'. -But more likely .the stillbirth of a l1feless form.' Unless we do some-thing about it. .' .. , For the new government will need two basic ingredients: student~ .. and moiley~ . ' . The purpose of student gOvernment is not to usurp powers that coUld be better handled by the school'administration, but to assist " 'the administration in' providing social and academic leadership where it is needed. To do this' the government needs dedicated, ,imaginative workers. And let's admit that tOday, as in the past, our· most competent' students are not On ijle Council. Very few see'm . genuinely interested in these offices for the purpose of rendering meaningfUl service. In this' yeaI"'s senior class there were only enough students running to fill the availa,ble .positions. The other. classes did not' much better. ~If student government is to.live, it must· have the interest of qual1fied .candidates' and an intelligent electorate. Perhaps a resignation will wake up Fairfield to this fact of life. . The second ingredient, money, is a. very old and necessary evil. Students have often cried for power in their council. Well money, you know, is power. That is why, beginning with next semester and the new constitution, we must have a compulsory student activities fee to subsidize campus publications. social and cultural events. sports admissions, and other valuable fields of interest'-A student fund for this purpose will foster more independence, creatiVity, and activity in student endeavors. Anactivities fee is long overdue, and a must for successful government•.. But in the end the answer to this councilor's resignation Gan only come from his constituents. Someone once said that people' mainly get the kind of government they deserve. In our case this ·seems so very true. In the next few months students will dedae whether they really want a. student government at Fairfield. . Our resigned councilor can't 10se.. 1f as he hopes, this resignation.' sparks some student action, he will have made his point. But if it doesn't spark action, there will be no student government, and he may as well have resigned anyway. . . * *.* A recent issue of AMERICA contained; by my 'count, nearly a hundred college ads.

The critics allege that Congress is too slow, too lazy, and that the rules under which it operates are outdated. ThUS, the New York TIMES states that the 88th Congress "has done little and took an unconsciably long time:to do even that•••" Walter Lippmann, in an artiCle entitIed 71Governmern Unworkab~called the 8lffil "a bad Congress", further stating that the country "needs and deserves to have abetter one". The liberal National Committee for an Effective Congress says that President 'Johnson will have to speed up a slow-down Congress. In the face of this formidable criticism, are there any circumstances which mitigae in Congress' favor? Congress' critics might do well 'to take into consideration several circumstanceS which make it more difficult for the Congress to exercise its legislative duties. The proliferation of government agencies and the ambitious efforts of the federal government to regulate a complex society magnify the task' or Congress~-In 1934 there"wer'e approximately 200 federai bureaus and commissions employing about 500,000 people. Today the number of federal ag~ncies has jumped to 2,000 and there are 2.5 million federal employees. The greatly increased number of federal agencies makes the annual authorization and appropriation offunds a long drawn out process. In earlier years Congress could usually finish its business by July 4; nowadays it is running almost continuous sessions. The assumption of world leadership by the United states following , World War II has incr-eased Congress' workload. ThUS, Congress today· , spends twice as much time in the consideration of foreign affairs as • it spent before 1939. Beginning with Franklin D. Roosevelt, Presideilts have adopted the , practice or presenting the Congress with a series of 'must' proposals . which increase their already staggering work lo~d. The proposals have become so numerous that, as Sen. Harry Byrd has remarked, it is impossible for a single representative or senator to consider thoroughly , the federal budget. . Congressional critics are besett.>rE~seassumption which colors ,:heir whole approach to Congress; they assume that when the J>resi-, dent proposes that the Congress should act, and when the Congress' rails toeniCt the President's propOsals', tIiis' ispri'ma fade eVidence of a Congressional failure. The New York TIMES states that Congress has a GonstItutional obligation to function as a legislature. This is - quite, true; b!1t the. ~T~E~ 'shoul!!have-addecftiiat it is as much tb~ function of a legislature to reject a Presidental px:oposal as. it is to pass it. Frank Meyer make~ this point in an article in NATIONAL , REVIEW, and he goes further to state that Congress might legislate 'effectively by negatIve' IeglSIition, i.e:;- oy'repeaiIng some of the • 'legisTation presently on the statute books. "The superstition thaffias been developed in recent years that Congress is somehow obligated' to pass into lawwhatever the President proposes'is a gross distortion of the President's minimal constitutional relation to legislation." The slow pace of Congress in the passage of legislation is presumed to be a fault of the Congress. Far from being a fault in our constitutional system, the slow progress of Congress may well be an aSset. Congress, by refusing to be rushed (except in cases of national emergency when it has acted without delay), prevents the hasty and inconsiderate enactment of legislation. The much maligned Congressional hearings present each group in the nation with sufficient opportunity to present its views. 'They provide the Congressman with ample opportunity to weigh conflicting viewpoints and to make the necessary judgements as to the best national policy. Repres,entatives, in particular, by having to face the voters every two years, are , forced to reflect accurately their constituents views if they wish to remaill in office. Congressional critics have proposed their solution for what they' term the problem of the Congress. They would have senators and representatives elected to four year terms to run concurrant with the .presidential term. This proposal is particularly dangerous. It would destroy the autonomy ana-iitdependtmceof'the Congress: Congressmen and senators would be dependent on national presidential campaigns for their election. The proposal would certainly create a unanimity of national policy, but only at, the cost of an equally. valuable diversity of interests which the Congressman represents. As it is now, Congressmen are able to maintain a degree of independence from the executive branCh; they are not confined by the rigid party discipline which characterizes the parliamentary system. This is as it should be; for it allows Congress to act as a check on the over-zealous proposals of the executive. ' Good itick to Fr. John J~ McCarthy, the new Drama Society moderator.

Classical Music THE STAG Society Formed DR. NORMAN A group of students interested in classical music are organizing a classical musical society. The purpose of the society would be to further the knowledge and appreciation of classical music. Dr. Ross, who has long had a personal interest in orchestra music, and Mr., LUkacs, who began his formal training iIi theory at Vienna, have offered to moderate this music society. Several years ago, the St. Ce' celia Academy was also a society founded for music lovers Who had a special interest in classical music,: A large number of students attended the initial meetings of the academy, but their interest waned. At the end of the year, the academy con- "sisted of five or six members and was not re-established the foilowing year. Therefore, a new effort is being made to organize another classical music societyf the personal interest and efforts of the members ()f the student' body will determine if this classical music society will begin arid end in the ·same way in which the St. Ce-celia Academy began and ended•. ,contino from page 1, col. 5 the other part unemployed.

It may be a misconception on my Part, but in view of so, many recent changes .we have beEm hearing about with regard to curricu~ um' and the like there seems to be an almost self-satisfied attitude wUhin the student body. Perhaps this is merely the same old story of apathy that was last year's dead horse and dirty word. Can it be ture that no one cares about the. academic future of Fairfield University? It would not appear so from the large number of complaints one hears tha:t the. school is small-time, second rate 'and doomed to obscurity. These. all sound very much like the answers·to every problem the school is having and the solutions to nothing. Can it be that we are all· so well, pleased' about the great showing we, made over nation-wide television that we are now convinced of our excellence and <:an sit back on our laUrels because all has been done? Then too it may be that exam timl;! is not the time to be involve4 with anything else. I recall last year when there was so much enthusiasm about the ,Academic Forum. During the past semester I think I heard it mentioned once or twice. It will be very unfortunate if such an insti": tution dies, because here was a real chance for the scholastic needs lnd'desires of the students to be heard. Perhaps the reason we ,have not heard more of the A.F. is because of the recent lethargy on the part of the'student Council. Does. it not call to mind those words of the· well-known Poet: "Parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus·' mus"? ·All the Arts students will know what I mean. The promise of things was great last year, and this applies not only to tlie excite ·ment over anew student government. But it now seems that because we have succeeded in having a few good lectures, movies and a triumphant College-Bowl team it is time to stop. We have no where else to go. Well, this has just been a start and the added push and boost that we needed; and to let it die would be to put us back where we were before these things happened. There is a saying that progJ;.ess is never made by standing still, in fact, to stand still is to go backward. Now. that, change is in the air and now that we have the necessary impetus and medium through which to make our own wishes heard we cannot say the heck with it.

A. Musical Treat This year wlll see the breakup of. one of the oldest and best folk groups. This is, of course, the Weavers. The group was forme9 in 1948, and has had gr~at influence on the field and other younger groups. They haYe . a style which, even with their :wide interpretations, never lost 'its integrity~ It thus remainedalways' a legitimate form of folk music. . . On their fifteenth anniversary thl;! Weavers staged two concerts · at Carnegie Hall. The concerts wete recorded by Vanguard in an alJ:>.u_m entitled "The Weaver-s.- ~Reunion at C8,rnegie Hall 1963". .All "of the Weavers were tnere, seven .in all. Erik Darling and Frank Hamilton, both excellent blues folk singers, were there. Bernie Krause,' a talented new meml:iet',was the· youngster of the groiIp. The others included the incomparable Seeger, veterans Fred Hellerman and Lee,.) Hays, and, the Female of the' group, Ronnie Gilbert. The. album is a fitting anniver. sary _celebration, and in my, opinion displays the Weaver' . genius til fine form. The' songs are for .the most part fam1l1ar. "Come. Away Melinda", an antiwar song sung by Fred Heller- ·man, and '''Train Time", by Erik . Darling, might not be too well known. The former is very effective and might even make' a "Bomb 'em and the heck with it man" 'stop and think., if he , bothered to' listen to the words, The r.est of the songs are familiar and done with the Weaver touch. The songs range from the slow "Melinda" to "When the Saints Go Marching In"• The last three ·songs on the secondsid~ will 'recall the early works of The Weavers. These are '''Goodnight Irene" by Leadbelly, "Study War No More", and "Round The World." The album is of course only a part of the Weavers, The field of folk music and entertainment in general' w1ll suffer a loss. They had a great talent which cannot be forgotten.

"BILLY LIAR" There are liars and there are' lfars. But none of these surpass Billy Fisher, who lies to his parents, to his employer, to his girlfriends, and even to himself. He lives in a world of. dreams and falsehoods, every 'so often retreating to his imaginary kingdom of Ambrosia, where he is supreme ruler. This is thel ,.situation of the hnari~us, yet. , "Billy Liar." . . Billy (Tom Courtenay) lives with his parents and gfandmother in a working class housing development. He gets up late in the morning and goes til work as an undertaker's clerk. He is engaged to twO girls and possesses only one ring. He hates everything about· the reality of his life from . · beginning to end. He hates thE cliches dropped on him by his family, loathes' his jdb, and is disgusted with the rugged north- -.ern indi.viduals he associates with who are all exactly' alike. He also detests himselr'forstanding back in contempt. Somewhat like Thurber's Walter Mitty, he is both acomical and tragic character. Jolin Sch1esi.nger's direction is unique to English cinema. His constant switching between reality and Ambrosia provide much of·the comedy. His transitionsare not as artistic as Fellini's tn " 8 1/2", and they are a trifle overdone. Again and again, Billy will be caught lying, ·and we then see him in a uniform gunning down his adversaries. Another element unusual to the British is the camerawork of Denys CooP. In one scene, Julie Christie is photographed at eye level walking down a crowded thoroughfare. Her B0 u n c i n g skipping and dodging of traffic is freshly pleasing to the eye. i "Billy Liar" is so full of .laughs that it sacrifices. much of its emotional potential. While a feeling of ambiguity is maintained by the comedy, cl!'rtain . scenes don't seem to fit in. The haunting meeting with Councillor Duxbury in the field,' for instance, appears unrelated to the rest 9f the film. Tom Courtenay, star of" Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner", gives a brilliant performance as Billy (a role once .. played on the stage by Albert Finney). His face is a weathered ·one, young but old; and his acting is the same youthful freshness combined with the talent of one more experienced. The big entertainment surprise came ·with Julie Christie playing LiZ, a carefree and vivacious "angry. young girl" and good friend of Billy's. Her brand of sex is refined yet simple, and adds much. ,to her delightful Performance. The laughter you will fine in "Billy Liar" is. ribald, often: caustic. Don't be surprised if it leaves a bittef aftertaste. , DAVID BANNON II'· I ,. . . I.· I· ". REVIEWS For the lady who tore up or hid in the bookshelf a recent nationally published article on sex and love in the United StatEis, "Tom Jones" will not be en-. joyed. This film version of Henry Fielding's eighteenth century tale of a misadventurous country lad who kills his own father (or nearly so) and sleeps with his mother (or did he? or is this really mama?) is worth the wait in the long line that has formed at Cinema 2 in New York City•. "'I'om Jones" is a party that rotates in full color from country to city life, and it will be the best party of the year. No one talks about the movie; rather: they tell their friends about all' the irrascible, dastardly and primly proper characters they have met on the scre.en. Tom himself, played~~t Finney, is .another ofthose uni':' quely incorrigible people who now and then (but far too rarely) bless the annals ofscreen and the printed page. From first credit to final cut he rollicks through enough rape, riot and rebellion to rank with the best of modern day boys and who want to, and their co-eds who do. Only Tom is higher and better than his ·would-be twentieth' century competition because all the time he laughs. He laughs at sex, at himself, at his enemies, and even at us. Somehow, though, everyone has a good time. No one asks, "Is all this meaningfui?" Sheepish and gallant, Tom.·· jumps from inn to inn, bed to bed, and finally into the fire in search of his identity.

Tammy Grimes plays Edward Woodward's first wife Elvira (deceased) who comes back in the prospect of killing him so she might have him forever in her world of spirits.

She and Woodward have a few songs together reminiscing about the ups and downs of their marriage.

Sonny Liston's only loss to date is to Marty Marshall in 1954. It seems that Marshall nailed an. open-mouthed Liston and broke his· jaw. Liston somehow went the distance and lost on points. In two return bouts, Liston K.O.ed and decisioned Marshall respectively. He sports a 351- 0 record, having scored 25 K.O.'s. This writer sees Clay succeeding in keeping away from Liston for four rounds. He will 'ffiiow 'many jabs and few rights, , tor ·'the most part, ineffe'Ctive blows.

Liston sent Clay to the ham 'n-egger land. THE~ SPORTS DESK ! ~ The scheduling of tougher, better-known teams in the next few years gives a greater audience the opportunity to see that Fairfield plays a good, exciting game win, lose or draw. The greater the audience, the greater the number and quality of ballplayers who'll want to come here. It's similar to the effect that the College Bowl had on the number of applications the admissions office received earlier this year. Thus, .each Year the team will improve, the team's record will improve and sooner or later, perhaps sooner than we think, the "big Ume"classificaUon will come our way.' .,' - .. . Player of The Week At the end of .the first month of play in the intramural loop, Dick Robinson, a guard on Vic Costello's team in the Junior-Senior di~ vision, has averaged 20 points per game With a personal, high of 26 points against Jim white's team. Dick is thus the first in a series of players in both upper and lower divisions who will be recognized for outstanding play in the intramural wars. Iy JEFF CAMPBELL MeanWhile the tougher the schedule we play, the better the team becomes. Sort competition makes for a weak team. The important thing is :we have a nucleus to build on, and at the same titne, we have a 'team that can attract a lot of favorable attention While it grows. Big time isn't so far off. The philosophy 'backing up Fairfield's Decision to go "big time" next year is just as valid now as it was when it was originated. Our .500 record this season may give rise to.some doubt among Stag backers, but a good look at the facts points up the wisdom of this year's schedule and that of next year's slate. Firsf of all, when a team decides to go big tinie, it doesn't suddl,mly emerge like, a butter::Qy, from, a eoccoon: and beat every" opponent in sight. It goes through a difficult and sometimes painful metamorphosis, slowly attaining big thne status and recognition. ',Over a period ofyears it gains a reputation that enables it to inaintain tts highez: ranking. . , At Fairfield this year, we have a trio of sophomores who are .undoubtedly excellent ballpl~yers now and who, by the time they're • seniors, can be expected to be even better. Pat Burke, Mike Branch , and Stan Poote are not only good players but,they also combine both flash and class early in their varsity careers. Players like this not only attract the attention of the crowds in generilJ. but also the attention of the highschool ballplayer who is trying to decide where to play ballin college. '. , Oilce again, on February 25, hundreds of thousands will turn out at the theaters to see the ."heavy weight fight of the century." Will they again be disapI pointed by a one-sided fiasco 'when Sonny Liston gets into the ring with Cassius Clay? The oddmakers tend to think so on account of Clay's youthful inexperience and the champion's behemoth- like power an~ ferocity. The Louisville Lip first came into prominence at the ROme. Olympics in 1960 at which, fighting as -a light-heavyweight, he • won a gold medal by outpointing Ziggy Pietszykowski of Poland. Not only did this victory boost his prestige, it also inflated his ,ego to the extent that thereafte:r only two words came ·from his Big Mouth - Cassius Clay. Arriving back to the States a few weeks later, he was the center of attraction in all circles. Asked by newsmen of his plans; he braggardlY replied, "I .am the greatest fighter who ever lived. 'I will be the youngest man to '.ever with the heavyweight cham; pionship." So, his hat in the ring, Clay launched a career ,which is bringing him a fortune, and, if nothing else, color to a dying game. In the professional ranks,: Clay's encounter with a paunchy, rather wornout oldman named Archibald Lee Moore was, troni-cally enough, his first important victory. From there he continued his undefeated streak with wins over sUchmEm as Dough Jonesand Henry Cooper. In all his bouts, Cassius has displayed speed, punch, and agility. He has also shown .the' lack of perfection always present in a young fi~hter. Clay can be hit and can be floored. Ask Lucien "Sonny" Banks (Who's he) who flqored Clay on nationwide television two years ago. Clay does, however, 'have tremendous potential; the ,general opinion is that it has not yet been sufficiently developed. At any rate, not enough for· him to be ready to meet Liston. . , J ~oge-Tw= \ ,SPORTS PERSONAliTY ,PAGEflO February 12, 1964 STAGS WIN- OVER ANSELM"S; fRUGBY CLUB l' ' .. OPEN FRIDAYS TO 8 P,M.
