Ladies and gentlemen, the Jaws of Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin presents The Halls of Ivy, starring Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Coleman. I was curious. I tasted it. Now I know why Schlitz is the largest selling beer in America. No wonder it's the beer that made Milwaukee famous. If you like good beer, you'll find it pays to be curious and learn about Schlitz for yourself. That's around us here today, and we will not forget. Welcome again to Ivy, Ivy College that is in the town of Ivy, USA. It's graduation week at Ivy, and like every small college, it has its own traditions and customs, which will be carried out by both students and faculty. With some, it's a time of gain and excitement, for others, a time of tears and sadness. For Ivy's president, Dr. William Todd Hunter Hall, it's a time of speechwriting, conferences, and the disposing of countless detailed matters. But as he tells his English ex-actress wife, Victoria, It's amazing. Everything is going according to schedule. Not one major incident has come along to upset the graduation cards. Usually by this time, oh, good heavens. Did the cart topple over? No, I might have. Vicki, I have a message for you. From me? From whom? Or is it from whom? It is from neither whom nor whom. It's from me. Well, that's even better. I adore messages from you. Like, um, darling, please have my grey suit cleaned. Love, W. I do love W, too. Good, but I have to admit that this message has been slightly delayed due to a sort of baccalaureate fog around the region of the brain. The message, my darling, says simply, I love you very much, and will you be my date for the senior prom? But I don't expect your answer by engraved reply, but after all... Well, it's just... Dolly, does this invitation include a late walk down Ivy Lane? You mean Romeo's Road? That common lover's path which is frequented by intrepid maid and callow youths? Yes. We'll not only take to Ivy Lane at the first possible moment, but I won't even promise we'll walk. Well, good. Then I accept your invitation with pleasure. Besides, I've already bought a new dress for the dance, and it's the kind that one rarely wears when one is with one's husband, if you know what one means. No, but I can hardly wait to see what one means. I... Oh, oh, what time is it? It's almost one. Now, Todd, you haven't had a bite to eat. Do you have to be somewhere? No, darling, but you do. Bill Davis, the senior class president, will be here to pick you up about one-thirty. Well, it was very nice of him, dear, but he isn't my type. No, Vicky, Vicky, you've been elected by the senior class to pick the winning tickets from the raffle bowl. Oh, I has? Well, you don't seem very happy about it. It's quite an honor, my girl. This is roughly equivalent to being chosen by the Deep Sea Divers Association as the girl we'd most like to blow bubbles with. Yes, I'm deeply pleased if you say so, or I would be if I had the slightest idea of what raffle you were talking about. The raffle of the faculty cars. Oh. Victoria, is it possible that you've been here all this time and still don't know about Ivy's famous raffle? Yes, it's quite possible because I don't know. Who raffles the cars, and to whom who do they go? To whom who? Yes, it's something new I just thought up. See, this way I don't have to worry about when to put the M on the end of who. It's simple, huh? Yes, it is simple.  I save by the bell. I'll answer it, dear. From whom? From whom? Oh, though not. He's very well mentality. He seems terribly agitated. I knew things were too calm and peaceful to last. Well, show him in. I am in, Dr. Hall. I can only stay a minute. That's good. I mean, it's good you found time to stop by at all. This is not a social call. I'll come right to the point. Dr. Hall, this raffle of faculty cars is disgraceful. It must be stopped. But why? The money is used for a legitimate purpose, to defray expenses of the senior prom. I participated in it during my senior year at Ivy, didn't you? Of course I did. But under protest even then, I am opposed to gambling. Are you really, Mr. Wellman? I understood you'd done very well in stock market speculations. Market speculations? Business investments? That was purely business, Mrs. Hall. Sometime I'd like to have your views on the National Lottery, Mr. Wellman. And don't tell me we don't have one every four years. Do I understand that you consider this traditional Ivy raffle gambling? Isn't it? I'm sorry I wasn't here when the game started, but what do the winners win? I still don't know. The use of the faculty members' cars, Vicky, for the night of the senior prom. And the use of the faculty member who owns the car, our good professors, all reduced to the positions of mere vassals being forced to act as chauffeurs for students who could just as well walk, who might better walk. Mr. Wellman. Yes, Dr. Hall.  I have never heard any faculty member complain about this custom. Quite the contrary. They enjoy it. Oh, I realize that the amount of money that is bid on each professor's car might possibly reflect on the esteem in which some of them are held, but I still think that... I didn't expect you to be sympathetic with my viewpoint, Dr. Hall. I fully expected antagonism, but I do expect to use every ounce of my influence to abolish this raffle, starting with this year. Goodbye. Don't bother to show me out. I can find the door myself. Well, he found the door. Now the question is, can we? What an unpleasant little man. Is it true that he called out from under a flat rock, William? Well, we might say that Mr. Wellman's presence at Ivy is due to the fact that the Board of Governors in their search for executive material left no stone unturned. By the way, has any logical objection to the faculty raffle? I mean reasonable. Mr. Wellman objects to everything on principle, especially if there's a slightest chance that the thing he's objecting to might give someone a little enjoyment.  With him, happiness is just a thing called off. And the only fun he ever has is seeing that no one else has any. That's a masterly bit of character analysis, Doctor. Is there anything he can really do, though, about the raffle? Well, not this year, anyway. He's starting his reform movement much too late. I wonder who win our car. Oh, no, the President's car is never raffled. Incidentally, I hope the service station brings it back for its own. It'll be back at 4.30 p.m. on the dot. Mal said so. Mal? Who is Mal? It's a new garage in Ivy, Mal's garage. I took it there to be serviced because I like those signs he puts up all over, you know? The happiest cars in town are Mal-adjusted. Good heavens. Neurotic piston ring. But if it isn't to be raffled, what does it matter when we get the car back? Well, although it doesn't raffle, my pet, the President's car is always requisitioned to drive the student, king and queen of the ball. And so are we. Traditionally, we... Oh, dear. Well, that must be Bill. Goodbye, darling. Goodbye, dear. And remember, a time-honoured tradition now rests on your shoulders. Winners fairly and squarely. No peaking of the tickets. Break clean as your hand leaves the bowl. He's an impatient lad. I'm coming. All right, Bill, I... Why, Professor Warren? Hello. Hello, Mrs. Hall. You and the doctor going out? You will find William in his study, Professor. I'm the one who's leaving. Bill Davis is picking me up to take me to the raffle drawing. Oh, yes, yes. It's a wonderful custom.  They said I'd be apart from other schools, make it just a little more than an institution of learning. I... Well, this raffle just happens to be my favourite. Yeah, I should think so. William tells me that your car brings more money than anyone else's. Who's ever hear how popular you are? You certainly are the bell of the ball. That's nonsense. Oh, they want me to drive them all right.  You're making it up, Dr. Horan. You've been here a long time. Do you happen to know how this particular custom got started? I do. Confidentially, I started it myself. Oh, you didn't? I did. Yep. When I was a young professor, ma'am, I was too poor to ask a girl to the prom and ordinary stags weren't permitted. Well, I did own a horse and buggy of sorts. It was a long time ago, so I figured out this plan to get me to the dance. Oh. That's how it all began. Don't you tell anybody a tradition whose origin is not shrouded in mysteries, not a real tradition. Just a habit. So that's how they get started. Oh, there's Bill. I have to run. I see you later, Professor. Dr. Horan, did you study? You go write it. All right. Goodbye, Mrs. Hall. Good afternoon, Dr. Hall. Professor Warren.  Am I interrupting anything? Not a thing. Come in. I'm glad to see you. Sit down. Thank you. Well, Professor, I suppose you've made all your plans for the summer. You've been away for a while? Well, yes. As a matter of fact, that's what I came to see you about. Dr. Hall, I am an old man, and I've been teaching for 50 years. That's a long time. Yes, it is. But it's not the length of service that makes a teacher invaluable. It's the amount of service he is capable of giving. Being able to transmit knowledge to young, receptive minds. Yes, there's a satisfaction in seeing untrained boys and girls turn out to be educated men and women and in knowing that you've had part in it. Then your satisfaction should be unlimited, Professor. Well, I've had my share of it. But there is nothing quite so useless or tiresome as a superannuated pedagogue. Professor, what are you driving at? Well, I... I'm tired, Doctor. One of the reasons. Now with this academic year almost at an end, I'm going to call it quits. I have regretfully decided to retire. To leave Ivy. If ever a man has earned a rest, Professor Warren, you have. But I can't tell you what a great loss this will be to Ivy College. And to me, personally. When do you plan to leave? Tomorrow. Tomorrow? But what about the baccalaureate service? And surely you intend to drive the winner of your car to the senior prom? Doctor, I have to leave. Particularly before the senior prom. What's the matter with Professor Warren? He passed Bill and me on the street as if he didn't see us. And I think he was crying. I don't blame him. I feel like crying myself. Hello, Bill. Come in. Hi, Doctor Hall. Is something wrong with the Professor? Well, I... Yes, yes. You might as well know Bill. I'd rather you didn't mention it until the news is made official. Professor Warren is resigning. Oh, Charlie, no. That nice man. Oh, my gosh. Oh, excuse me, sir, but... But he can't leave. It would be like... Or be like yanking a cornerstone. He's a part of Ivy. I know how you feel. But now he has decided to part with Ivy. Bill, has anything happened concerning the senior prom that might have made him decide to leave so suddenly? What do you mean, sir? I... I don't know what I mean. He just insisted that he had to leave before the prom. Oh. Uh-oh. That's a profound observation. Does it mean something? Well, Professor Warren looks forward to the prom more than anyone else on the campus. Yes, and from what he told me, he invented the raffle. Now, why should he want to get out before it unless he couldn't participate in it? Well, why couldn't he participate in it? Well, maybe you haven't noticed, but he hasn't driven his car in more than three months. I know he thought it was his secret, Dr. Hobart. Well, you know how the grapevine works. A guy in our class has a brother in med school and he heard it from a doctor in town. I, uh... I guess none of us realize that it's quite as bad as it is. As bad as what is? Bill, what are you talking about? The Professor, sir. He's going blind. Oh, no. Well, it doesn't seem possible. Professor Warren. Going blind. A man who spent his whole life lighting the way for others, now being inexorably taken into darkness. Bill, sit down. We must talk about this. I was curious. I tasted it. Now I know why Schlitz is the largest selling beer in America. No wonder it's the beer that made Milwaukee famous. He'll return to the halls of Ivy, starring Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Coleman in just a moment. But first, let's hear how one man found a solution to his heating problem. It was a hot day, close to 90, in the shade of an office building. And if I hadn't had so many calls to make, I'd have been parked under a willow in my back lawn, hoping for a breeze. But as it was, I didn't finish until long after five. Then, thoroughly worn out by the heat, I headed for the nearest tap room where I took a table in a cross-draft.  I hadn't given him an order, but I was too tired and too thirsty to care. So I poured the Schlitz. Ah, it was good and cold, the way I liked beer and drank. Right then, I forgot my backyard, the willow tree, and the breezes that might come my way, and thoroughly enjoyed that moment and that beer. When I looked up, the same waiter was standing there smiling, and he asked, Are you enjoying your bottle of Schlitz, sir? Never had a beer that tasted so good, I said. But tell me, how did you know I liked Schlitz? Well, sir, replied the waiter, You looked hot and tired, and it did seem to me that a cold bottle of Schlitz would be just the thing. But wasn't that taking kind of a chance, I asked? Perhaps, continued the waiter, but when a beer tastes so good to so many people that it's the largest selling beer in America, there's very little risk involved.  No wonder they call Schlitz the beer that made Milwaukee famous. And now back to Ivy. It's late afternoon, but the gloom of night has settled over the hall hall. For the past hour, Dr. Hall has been pacing the living room floor. If I could only think of a way to handle this, Warren is such a proud man, and he's gone to such lengths to keep this a secret. We'll have to do something. What did the eye doctor say? He said an immediate operation might save his sight. Wonderful! He must have it done right away. It's an expensive operation, and he's the type of man who would rather go often and hide in some dark corner than ask for help. Todd, if a college would help him, wouldn't it? I mean, finance the operation? Of course, I would see to that, but that's just it. Exactly the right way to be helpful. It is more charitable to be unhelpful. Well, if anyone can find the right way, you can. I have no doubt about that. Ficky, what was that you said when Bill was here? Oh, I said a great many things. Yeah, but this was something that struck a responsive chord at the time, but I know you said that the professor had invented this raffle. Yeah, he told me that he was the one who started it with a horse and buggy. Is that so? Yeah, he was enormous pleased with himself about it. Is that so? Todd, you've got an awfully funny look on your face. Well, it's purely a muscular reaction due to the process of thought. Thank you. Victoria, it is a proven fact that the face, like Gaul, has divisa in part as trails to pure a caesarean cliché while this triplicity is not particularly evident when the face is in purest naturalibus, it is... Yeah, now back up there, doctor. Back up, back up. It isn't that I don't enjoy hearing you make little Latin sounds, but what does all this foreign double talk mean? Roughly translated, it means that I'm perching precariously on the edge of an idea, and I would rather topple over the side of it naturally. I don't want to be pushed. Well, I won't even give you a nudge. Vicki, you're the most amazing woman I know and the least inquisitive. No, not the least inquisitive, darling. I am the woman who has her inquisitiveness the least encouraged. Have patience, my darling. I think my idea is beginning to erupt. First thing I have to do is make a phone call. Very stable, Norman talking. This is... This is Dr. Hall of Ivy College talking. Oh, hi, Doug. How's the bookie business? What? I don't skip it, Doug. It's a gag, see. Yes, I do see. Norman, do you happen to have a fairly presentable horse and buggy in a stock? A what? A horse and buggy. Well, it's a livery stable, isn't it? Yeah, but like, what's his name? Shakespeare said. What's in a name, hey? Why put tea on his way to the divy? A livery stable, it's a sort of a sort of a whimsical name, you know. Yes. I'm beginning to know about tradition. Well, I... Hey, hey, wait a minute, wait a minute. Come to think about it. We got an all beat up type buggy out in the back. Well, I... Well, I have to let you know. As what his name said, never put the cart before the horse. Come again? That's a gag, hey? Vicky. I've discovered that the horse seems to be extinct in Ivy. We better find the skeleton of one and add it to our museum before it's too late. I did locate a buggy of sorts, but... A horse buggy, Toddy? For Professor Warren? Exactly. He could manage that kind of a rig without exposing his failing eyesight. This way I'm sure I could persuade him to stay over, and he would give us a little more time to work out a plan to get him to accept money for his operation. What a wonderful idea. I'm sorry the door was open and I walked right in. I had to see you. Oh, Bill, I'm glad you came. I figured out how we can keep Professor Warren here if we can find a horse. Right now I'd give my college for one. But you can. No, I agree. I don't think the Board of Governors would consider one of our four-footed friends fair exchange for Ivy. But if I could find one, I could keep him here for the prom. There's going to be any prom. There have been two meetings since I saw you. The Board of Governors had one. Mr. Wellman called it to vote down the raffle, and they walloped him 19 to one. Then we had one, the senior class. We had an idea and voted on it. Listen, you see? That's the story. What do you think of it? I think it's magnificent. It's the most sensational thing I ever heard. What are we waiting for? Let's get busy. At what time does the Professor's train leave? You know the Ivy local. Always on time. The engineer's time. I'll check to make sure before tomorrow night. I'll call the livery's table right now. Oh, the horse. Don't worry about that, Doctor. You get the buggy. We'll take care of the horse. I hope you're not being over-optimistic, but I'll leave that up to you. Vicki, will you call the Professor and ask him to dinner tomorrow? Doctor Hall, you will make sure that he really plans to leave town. Bill, after what you just told me, I'll leave town if it's the last thing I do. Mrs. Hall, that was the best dinner I've had and I don't know how long. You know, I concoct the worst meal ever cooked up a man.  Well, you're not leaving yet, Professor. It's still over an hour until train time. Have some more coffee. Thanks, but I think I'd better be on my way. I, um, have a few things to do. I thought I might walk across the campus. Oh, no. I mean, don't hire yourself out, Professor. You have a long trip ahead of you. Yes, but I thought I might see a few of the students. I, uh, guess nobody knows I'm leaving. At least no one stopped by the house. But I suppose with graduation and the prom and all, they're busy. Yes, that's it. They're busy. What's all the hullabaloo out there? I don't know. But we can't have Faculty Road served in this unseemly manner. No, it is awfully unseemly. Hey, come on, Professor. Vicky, we'd better see what this is all about. But I don't understand all this. They seem to be cheering for your Professor. Me? Why? What is this? What have they got out there? Sounds like there are a million of them. Yes. Sounds like there are a million of them. There are exactly 97 of them. And that's the buggy they've got with them.  Come on. We're going to take you to the station. But, but, Bill, this is awfully nice. But have you just got a buggy? Haven't you got a horse? 97 of them, Professor. You've hauled us around for good many years. Now it's our turn to return the favor. Oh, uh, before we go, here, this is for you. It's not a going away present. It's a coming back present. Thank you, Bill. My glass is a little clouded. It's a piece of paper. This is a note. Yes, it's a note, all right. Payable on presentation at any bank. It's a check for $2,000. Yep. It's the money from the raffle. It really belongs to you, Professor.  In one condition, come back. Our class wants you here at Ivy. Oh, now listen, if we don't get going, you'll miss your train. You're about to meet the hoarsiest senior class in history. Come on. Oh, dear, look. The whole senior class aren't a stop pulling the buggy. Yes. I don't think I'll ever forget it. There they go. Yes. And there goes their senior prom.  Aren't they wonderful? I'm awfully afraid. I'm going to cry. Well then, let's go inside. If he has a crying wife to comfort Vicki, it's nice to have a house around a man. I tasted it. Now I know why Schlitz is the largest selling beer in America. No wonder it's the beer that made Milwaukee famous. And here again are Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Coleman. Good night, everyone. Good night. As with her butterfield out the cube, Brian, Peter Leeds and Sheldon Leonard, tonight's script was written by Cameron Blake and Don Quinn. Music was composed and conducted by Henry Russell. The Halls of Ivy was created by Don Quinn, directed by Nat Wolfe, and presented by the Jaws of Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ken Carpenter speaking. On NBC.


Joe Burrow has a chance to do it all this year. The last two years, he's been phenomenal. Two years ago, he was coming off a really bad knee entry and nobody knew if he was even gonna be able to make it, right? So they start off a little slow, whatever. Last year, he comes off the appendectomy and nobody thinks anything of it and here they come at the end of the season and they're in the Super Bowl one year and they're within a whisper, a couple of plays away from beating Kansas City and going back to the Super Bowl.  What I should pick is Philadelphia. This is a really tough conference but Joe Burrow walks into this season healthy for the first time. But it could easily be the Cleveland Browns knocking out Cincinnati Bengals and you never get out of their division. Okay, okay, cut. You were raised on that. You were doing so well.


The Man Called X, tonight starring Van Heflin, who is taking over during Herbert Marshall's illness. The Man Called X is a regular Friday night feature on NBC's five-show festival of comedy, music, mystery and drama. Brought to you by... The Makers of Anderson for fast relief from pain of headache, neuritis, neuralgia. By RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television.

Wherever there is mystery, intrigue, romance in all the strange and dangerous places of the world, there you will find The Man Called X. When we ask you to try Anderson for the relief of pain due to a headache, neuritis or neuralgia, we're not asking you to try a new or unproved method. For there are many people listening in now who have been introduced to Anderson tablets by their own dentist or physician. You who have received Anderson this way know the effective, incredibly fast relief these tablets bring. Anderson is like a doctor's prescription. That is, Anderson contains not just one, but a combination of medically proven active ingredients in easy-to-take tablet form. People by the thousands are using modern Anderson today instead of other ways. Doesn't their experience seem worth following? Try Anderson the next time you suffer pains from headache, neuritis or neuralgia. You will be delighted with the results. Ask your druggers for Anderson today. Anderson is spelled A-N-A-C-I-N. A heavy fog lies over the British territorial waters off Hong Kong east of Kowloon Peninsula as a British gunboat feels its way slowly through the grayish-white blanket. On its quarter-deck, the commander in demand from British intelligence watched the swirling lions on the radar scope intentionally. You've raised something all right, Commander? A jank or sandpan judging by the size, Inspector. Then the information supplied to us by the American Bureau was quite accurate. Well, I'd suggest we close in before leaving to conclusions, Inspector. Commander to number one battery, unidentified target, 500 yards. Left, 270 degrees. Two rounds gunfire, over. Frankly, Inspector, I find it difficult to believe that we'll come up with anything. Mr. Ken Thurston has worked with us very successfully before, Commander. But from what you say his colleague radioed from San Francisco. Do you believe that a man halfway around the world can possess information about these waters that we don't have? I do. Inspector, I'll give odds that all we'll stop is some illegal fishing. Or an innocent houseboat, perhaps. What were you saying, Commander? So, my friend, you have received word from the British in Hong Kong?  Serums, plasma, antibiotics. It's running from Hong Kong into Red China. I still don't understand how you knew about it, Mr. Lee, and got in touch with Jim here in San Francisco. As my friends Jim Kendall and Mr. Thurston know, Mr. Chief, the House of Lee owns the largest Chinese pharmaceutical business in the world. We have branches in every major Asianic city, including Hong Kong. That's right, Chief. And the black market stuff on that sandpan came from the House of Lee. Wait a minute, Jim. You mean it was hijacked from the Hong Kong branch? Stolen? No, no. I feel my manager there is deliberately placing our stocks of precious life-saving medicines into hands of Red China. Who is your manager there, Mr. Lee? I think you know him very well, Mr. Kendall. His name is Sammy Lee. Sammy Lee? A relative? My son, Mr. Chief. Oh, sorry. I beg of you, my friends, help me to learn the truth. Well, it's hardly the bureau's business, Mr. Lee, and Hong Kong is British territory. But, Jim? If you made a crack like that to Ken Thurston, Chief, you know what he'd say? I'll send you some jade from Hong Kong. Kendall, you simply got to take me along with you. I'm sorry, Pagong. Sorry. But you don't know how invaluable I could be to you in Hong Kong's place. I got cousins who got cousins there. I'll even pay for my own tickets. Yeah, that ain't the way I heard it. Well, that is, if you could advance me just a slight consideration first. Okay. Yeah. Huh? Well, thank you, Mr. Kendall. I'll go to the window and... Hey, this is only ten bucks. I can't buy no tickets with this. Yeah, that's for helping me with my bags. So long, Pagong. But, Mr. X, I mean Mr. Kendall. I mean... It turns me down flattered in a flatjack. I bet if Mr. X was in sick, I'd go along. You're pardoned for interrupting your most worthy thoughts, my friend. Huh? Perhaps my dear Mr. Selschmidt, your transportation to Hong Kong might be arranged after all. Uh, it could. Hey, who are you? My name, so, is Chain Wong. And I am a need of a capable assistant in my business. Inasmuch as you express the desire to visit Hong Kong and my business happens to be located there? Well, you understand, Mr. Wong. I'm a pretty busy financial type executive. Yeah. That thousands of dollars invested. I couldn't work for peanuts. Oh, well, this aid you in arriving at a decision? Oh, that. Let me see. Ten, twenty. My stocks and bonds, of course. Fifty, sixty, seventy-five. A big merger coming up with that Las Vegas three cherries and jackpot company. Eighteen, ninety, one hundred. You know something, Mr. Wong? Uh, yes, Mr. Selschmidt. I'm hired. Welcome to the house of Lee. Well, thanks. Is there something we could do for you, sir? Uh, yeah, I'd like to speak to the manager, please. The manager? Yes, Sammy Lee, is he in? May I ask who you are, sir? My name's Jim Kendall. Oh, I'm sorry, but Mr. Lee is not in at the moment. I am Marlis Tysing, his assistant. Could I not be of help to you? Oh, I'm afraid not, Miss Tysing. I'll, um, I'll just hang around and wait until he gets back. You, you cannot do that, Mr. Kendall. Why not? Because, because Mr. Lee has left Hong Kong on a business trip. Where'd he go? I do not know. I thought she said you were his assistant. I am. And he left without telling you where you could get in touch with him? I, yes, that is so. Because his business concerns sampans operating off of Kowloon Peninsula, carrying illegal cargos? Huh? Who are you? I've already told you. You know what I mean. Who are you? An answer, quickly. Oh, so that's... It's not very courteous, is it, Marlis? Answer me, Mr. Kendall, before I... You better put that gun back in your sleeve unless you want to witness to your intended homicide. Oh, good afternoon, Marlis. Lovely day, is it not? Yes, positively lovely. Well, my day has my order arrived yet, eh? Has it? Your order, Dr. Harvey? Oh, come now, Marlis.  Oreo mysins, Tepto mysins, Choro mysiton. Should have a familiar ring by now, my dear. You're interested in antibiotics, doctor? For what man of medicine isn't these days, sir? Well, Marlis, the ship from Singapore docked yet? I'm afraid not, doctor. But it's three days overdue, my dear. I know, doctor. We'll notify you the moment it arrives. I hope so. Frankly, I'm almost beginning to wonder if it shall arrive. What do you mean? Why, with all this talk about the fortunes being made running serums and antibiotics into red china. If I didn't know Sammy, I'd almost suspect him of being in the black market. Oh! Oh, wait a minute. Get her to get her, sir. Got her. George, he fainted dead away. Now, what on earth could have caused that? Well, I would say that it was your crack about Sammy Lee in the black markets.  Should have known better. It was bound to upset her. Why? Oh, don't you know, old boy, Marlis is Sammy Lee's wife. What? Oh, no. Hello, Mr. Kendall. Surprise to see me here. Hang on. How on the devil did you get here? Oh, there are still some people in this world who depreciate me. Yeah, like Mr. Cheng Wang, friends. Cheng Wang? Yeah, my new business associate. Believe me, it's a wonderful job. I already got a paycheck. Before or after you told him that I was working with a man called X? Before, naturally, I'm not dope. I wouldn't have... Oops. That's what I thought. Come on, Pagon. Where are we going? Have a little talk with your new boss, Cheng Wang. Hello. So, Mr. Kendall, you believe that I hired the estimable Pagon Zelschmidt merely to obtain information concerning you. Any other explanation, Cheng Wang? No, no. You are quite correct in your summaries. It was rather expensive, but well worth it. Why? The activities of man called X and any of his associates are always of interest to one such as me, particularly when they may well be in direct conflict to my own. Are they? They will not be for long. Well, that's nice. Yes, yes. You see, I am well acquainted with the fact that you are making inquiries concerning Sammy Lee and certain activities regarding pharmaceutical supplies. So? So your interest in these matters will cease within 12 hours. What makes you think that? Oh, it's quite simple, my dear sir. Within 12 hours, you shall either have left Hong Kong or you shall be dead. That's right. It's good. What is it? He wants you to meet him at our warehouse in the dark area within half an hour. He has some words for you. Any idea what it's all about? No, Mr. Kendall. He said only that it condors house with red. What's this all about anyway, Mr. Kendall? Why did we come chasing down here to the docks like this? To learn what business your ex-boss is in. Huh? That Chen Wang guy? What's he got to do with it? There's the warehouse just ahead. Well, suppose you ask Sammy Lee about that. I don't get it, Mr. Kendall. All I know, I got no job, no money, and now, hey, that car is coming right up. I know it's great. You might have a point there, Pickle. Come on. You mean you're going to do that warehouse after all that? Why not? But that car just pulled away from this joint. Maybe it was the Sammy Lee who tried to bump us out. That's what I want to find out. There's nobody around. So what's that bell ringing like that? Burglar alarm. Huh? Come on, let's try the back. See? There's nobody here either. So why don't we give this joint a brush up and get back to that hotel before the rain gets any worse? Rain? What in the devil are you talking about? Oh, sure. The room is leaking. I just got a couple of drops of that on the back of my hand. Look. Here they are. Uh-huh. Mr. Kendall, those drops there, they're not rain. You're right, Pagan. Look up there on the hook of that pulley. On the hook of this foot? Yeah. Sammy Lee. We'll continue with the man called X in just a moment. Here's a word from RCA Victor. RCA Victor has done it again. Yes, now you can easily own America's all-time top favorite tunes on RCA Victor Red Seal and popular single records, 50 All Time Greats.

See your nearest dealer tomorrow about RCA Victor's 50 All Time Greats, recorded by RCA Victor. Now act two of the man called X, tonight starring Van Heflin with Leon Velasco as Pagans Elschmit. Acting for Mr. X, Jim Kendall is in Hong Kong, attempting to break up the illegal traffic in American medicinal supplies being smuggled into Red China. The Chinese pharmaceutical firm, the House of Li, is apparently involved now in a private office at the House of Li. Jim Kendall is talking with Marlis Taisheng, widow of the murdered Sammy Li. Yes, Mr. Kendall. It was Chen Wang who was responsible for all our sorrows. Chen Wang who tried to blackmail Sammy into giving our supplies to Red China. What pressure did he use, Marlis? The most effective pressure of all, Mr. Kendall. Threats against my life. I begged Sammy not to do it. I would have taken any risk rather than to give aid and comfort to the enemies of my people, but it was no use. He agreed to work with Chen Wang. Yes, and now he's dead. Well, maybe you can carry on for him. Carry on? Yeah, we need proof against Chen Wang. Suppose you tell him that you need money badly now that Sammy's dead and that you'll help him the same way Sammy did. That is, if he'll cut you in on the black market. And you, Mr. Kendall, after all, you are Chen Wang's most important target now. What are you going to do? Pay a visit to Dr. James Harvey. Dr. Harvey? What could he possibly have to do with this affair? That's what I was wondering. I found his card lying on the warehouse floor underneath Sammy's body. Why did I have you drop in, Kendall? Delighted, though. I must say you don't look as though you required my services. A picture of health, my boy. Did you say that about Sammy Lee, too, doctor? Sammy Lee, I don't quite get the connection. Sammy's dead. Surely you must be joking. Why, I examined him not three weeks ago. Not a blessed thing wrong with him. I swear to that. He was murdered, doctor, a little over an hour ago. Murdered? That sure is that difficult to believe. Most difficult. Is it? Well, then maybe you can explain a few things about the blood stains on this card of yours. Card of what? Yep. I'm sure it is my card, and those stains do look like blood for a fact. Where'd you get this? It was lying on the floor underneath Sammy Lee's body. It doesn't mean a thing. Of course you realize that. No proof that I shot him. Matter of fact, it's not really proof of anything. No. No, but it might be interesting to learn just how it got there. And, uh, how you knew he'd been shot when all I said was that he'd been murdered. You like to clear that up for me, doctor? Yes. I think it's high time that I did. I'm with British intelligence, Kendall, working on the same thing you are. The smuggling of illegal goods into red china. Now, that could be just a little too pat, Harvey. True, but perhaps this will convince you. You work with a man called X with a bureau. You wireless our office from San Francisco with certain information. It enabled us to pick up a Sampan carrying contraband off Kowloon Peninsula. Does that convince you? Hmm. Well, it should, shouldn't it? Uh, by the way, uh, were you anywhere near the warehouse tonight? Well, I know. Why? On my way up there, I exchanged a few shots with somebody in a car. I thought you might have known something about that. Why should I know anything about it? Well, it was just an idea. I saw your car parked outside here, a couple of bullet holes in the body. Good night, doctor. I'm afraid it was a bad mistake for me to see Chen Wang, Mr. Kendall. A very bad mistake. He didn't go for your story, ma'am. Oh, he laughed at me and told me to inform you that your time has run out.  Oh, that's bad. He means to kill all of us. Hey, that's bad. Let's get out of here quick. Come on now, relax. I've got a call in for Dr. Hardy. You believe that British intelligence will be able to help us then? Well, if he'll cooperate with us, I think we'll have a chance, Marliss. Chen Wang, he's here, he's here.  That's only the phone. Hello. That's all right. You're sure of that. I see. Okay, thank you. Who was it, Mr. Kendall? British intelligence. Well, what did he say, Mr. X? I mean, Mr... What did they say? What did they say? It was shortened to the point, Pagan. They don't know any Dr. James Harvey. But why do we have to go back to that Lee Warehouse like this?  I just want to check on a shipment of antibiotics. I do? What shipment are you talking about, Mr. Kendall? When Dr. Harvey was so interested in, three days overdue from Singapore. But it is still overdue, and we have received no word as to when it will arrive. Maybe you didn't, Marliss, but somebody didn't. I saw that shipment in the warehouse this afternoon. All right, let's go in. I still do not understand what you hope to learn here. As long as we're still in Hong Kong and alive, Chen Wang's going to be worried. He's worried. So if he wants those serums and antibiotics from Singapore, he'll have to work fast. That came from the back of the warehouse, huh? Come on, let's see what's going on there. Yeah, Chen Wang and his men. What are they doing with all this crazy? That's the Singapore shipment. They're moving it out. We've got them. Oh, yeah? Yeah, there's a phone in the office. British intelligence will be out here in five minutes. Come on. I was not advised trying it, Mr. Kendall. Look. Well... She's got a...  Your time has run out. There is nothing further you can do to stop us from taking that shipment and the two of you into Red China. I trust you find the cabin of our little ship quite comfortable, gentlemen. Well, we might, if you'd put that... that thing away then. Merely a slight precaution. We will rendezvous with the gunboat in a few moments. The medicinal supplies will be transferred aboard. Then the commissar of the gunboat will decide what is to be done with you. You mean there's a choice? If he believes the People's Republic can make use of you, you will be taken to the mainland. If not, you will be disposed of at sea. But... But that puts us right between the devil. No, that's more of a break than Sammy League, I think.  What? What was that? We have reached our rendezvous, Zell Schmidt. That rocket was fired to inform the gunboat of our presence. It will be alongside in a few moments. Look, look, baby, before it gets here, couldn't we make a deal of some kind? The People's Republic does not make deals, Zell Schmidt. We take what we need, whether it is antibiotics, serums, or your lives. We... That sounds... What is it? Mr. Kendall. Just the gunboat. But they fired the shell at us. Sure, a warning to stay put until they come alongside. Warning? One of our gunboats would not fire a warning at us? That's right. Then what are they? British. It is a British gunboat. With Dr. Harvey aboard, Marliss. What? Harvey? He's the one who called me at the hotel to give me a go-ahead on our plan. But you said it was British intelligence reporting that Harvey was not... Chen! Not so fast, Marliss. Come on out, take that gun. It's better, huh? Allys, what's happening here? Drop that gun, Chen. No, Kendall! Now the cabin door will pick on fast. Fast! All right, Marliss. If you want something to do until Harvey gets here, we'll just fix up Chen's shoulder for him. Maybe that will keep you out of trouble. I thought they fired my suit. Oh, oh. Well, they cooked their geese, all right. Don't have to worry about them trying to steal anything again. No, I'm afraid you're wrong, Piggy. Huh? As long as Marliss and Chen, those like them are still around. You've got plenty to worry about. You heard what she said. They'll try to take anything they want, antibiotics, lives, even the world. Our star for tonight, Van Heflin, will return in just a moment. But first, here is a word about dramatic values. Listen.

Good afternoon. My name is Kamala Khyam. I'm one of the associate dean of students here at Fairfield University. We will be talking about homesignments and transition at Fairfield University today. Before we introduce the rest of our panelists, we just want to go over briefly what our agenda is for this pretty much 40 minutes or so. We're going to have our panelists introduce themselves. We're going to review the kinds of adjustments that our first-year students experience here at Furfield. We're going to talk about strategies for our families, how we partner with you to ensure that our students are transitioning successfully. We're also going to talk about resources, some key upcoming events, and then we're going to leave a good 20 minutes or so for you all to post your questions and then for us to respond to the questions that are posted. So with that, I will pass it over to my fellow panelists to introduce themselves. I'll start with PJ. Awesome. My name is PJ Lucky. I'm one of the associate directors in Residence Life. Hi there. My name is Meredith Smith. I'm another associate director in the Office of Residence Life. Hi, my name is Julia Smith, and I am a psychotherapist in Counseling and Psychological Services. Great. So I'm going to pass it over to Julia to talk about the kinds of adjustment issues our first-year students deal with. Thank you, Kamala. Hi. I was asked to do this this morning, so hopefully everything's all good with that. It's really an honor though to speak to you. I meet with a lot of the students, the first-year students, and I was reflecting back this morning on when I first started and how surprised I was initially and really a little overwhelmed by the intensity of feeling that students can have as they transition to college. And I'm wondering maybe if a couple of parents out there are feeling similarly, because it really is, it's such an exciting time, and it's also at the same time quite a challenging time. So what are the issues we see with our first-year students? Primarily, I would have to say homesickness. They miss you. This is, you know, homesickness is a universal feeling, and it's estimated that about 70 percent of first-year students in the first couple of weeks of college will feel some homesickness. Our studies show that by the middle of the semester that's down to about 40 percent of the students, so the good news is it does get better, but it can take a while. So that's, I would say homesickness is the biggest thing that drives the students up to counseling services. The second one is social issues. It's really hard to come into a new environment without the people you grew up with, without your parents, without your siblings, your dogs, your cats. It's just a big adjustment socially.  The other thing is time management. When students first get here, they're very disoriented by our schedule. Everybody's on a different schedule at high school. Everybody had the same basic, probably usually over-structured schedule. But at college, sometimes the class doesn't start till about five o'clock in the afternoon, and that leaves a big, long day to fill. And that can lead to some, it can really unbalance students. And some people think homesickness is really just the cessation of all of their former schedules and things that they know and are comfortable with. So that's a big one. The other one is just the stress. Our bodies, we respond to everything positively and negatively as stress. So, you know, getting your first home or a marriage or the first child, all of that, as wonderful as those things are, can bring stress. And coming to college is no different.  The other thing is roommates. Moving in with a stranger is really difficult. I would be challenged by that, is probably most of our panelists would as well. It's just a big change to move in with somebody and have a bathroom down the hallway and have to negotiate space and who's sleeping where, and all of those things, what time people go to sleep, all of those good things become really hard at first. And then the academic adjustment. It's just, it can be much more challenging for students and they can be taken aback by that as well. Every year we see, well last year I'll speak about, we saw 569 students in the university and 175 of those students were first-year students. So we see, I would say yearly about 20% of our students, our first-year students. And if we could go to the next slide. So in order to understand what's going on with students, I like to go back to the beginning a little bit. Up on your screen you see something called the circle of security. And this is really a parenting education course, but I think it helps to really understand development using this model. If you'll see there's two hands on this circle, and those two hands represent your hands, the parents' hands. So the top half of the circle, as it says, is the secure base. And that's what parents provide for their children, a secure base for which they can go explore the world. And when they are off exploring and need a little support, they come back in around the circle. The other hand is the safe haven, providing the support and help. So on the top half is the secure base from which they can explore their world. The bottom half is the safe haven where they come in for the support. So what I'd say to my students is that when they started out as infants and toddlers, that circle was very, very small, maybe just a room that they were exploring and would, you know, they would crawl out and look back at mom and dad or, and they might bump into something and then they start crying and then somebody swoops in and picks them up. It's a very small circle. So then it starts growing. Elementary school, they get on the bus for the first time. They might have their first sleepover.  They start exploring their world more. And by high school, you may not have seen your student very often because the circle gets bigger and bigger. They might have even have gone away for a little bit or summer camp. What happens when they come to college is that circle gets gigantic. And that revolution around that circle, which used to take, you know, a couple of hours when they would come back in or even at the beginning, just a few minutes as they explored their room, becomes really large and they can feel very disconnected from that circle. And I try to encourage them and let them know they're still on that circle. They're still very much part of that circle. The other thing that I tell them is while they're still on that circle, what's happening is they're developing their own very tiny circle. They're taking their first steps off of their parent circle, which of course we know they stay on for life, but they will be forming their own circle eventually and that will expand and eventually maybe that will include children of their own that they provide the hands for. So right now it's this very early circle of they're providing their own secure base from which they can explore the world, their own safe haven, when what they need to do that to supply that for themselves. This is a useful way of helping them to understand development. We also know with families, some families are more comfortable on the top half of the circle, allowing their students or their children to explore the world and a lot of families are more comfortable on the bottom half of the circle, which is keeping them close. So we know what we see a lot is more that families that keep them close so that when they go out on the circle, it provokes a little anxiety to begin with. And then that's just a good thing to know about how that impacts. So if you're seeing a lot of anxiety, a lot of fear, a lot of nerves, that's very typical at this point of their process. So next one. So we are counseling and psychological services. We are connected to the health center. And as I said, we see about 22% of the students here about close to 600 a year. And so it's a very well used service as part of everybody's tuition. And they are entitled to receive 10 individual sessions. And we also run groups. We run support groups. And this year we're doing something called the anxiety toolbox, which is more of a seminar, a didactic seminar, so that they can learn how to manage the anxiety that comes with coming to college. So that was developed in a California university. And we're hoping that that can be really successful for the students. The other thing is I just want to talk about is our health center, which is, as I said, located just down the hallway. And their students can get flu shots and they can have walk-ins and just take care of their general health. So thank you for allowing me to speak today. And I'll pass it along. Thanks, Julie. So a couple of other key resources for our families. As you all may know, if you came to orientation or attended Fall Welcome, one of the key programs that all of our first year students are experiencing right now is the first year experience program. And the first year experience program is essentially a weekly seminar where students meet for about 75 minutes and they meet in cohorts of about 20 to 25 students, depending on what group they're in. And that cohort is mentored and facilitated by a new student leader who happens to be a sophomore, junior or senior, as well as a faculty or staff member known as a community associate. And so those two individuals meet with our first year students weekly. They discuss targeted transitional topics such as emotional navigation, social navigation, academic navigation. We talk about academic planning as well. We talk about the alcohol and the hookup culture, how to manage your time effectively, as well as a number of other different topics that are pertinent and relevant to first year students. Coupled with the first year experience program, we partner with the Academic Career and Development Center, which connects with our faculty members and currently right now, a majority of our faculty members are submitting to that center academic alerts based on how a first year student is performing in the classroom. So if they're falling asleep, if they're coming late, or if they notice that the student is struggling in a particular area, they will be creating an alert that will go to the academic support, academic and career development center. And then that center will triage out to connect with the student to see how best to ensure that they are transitioning effectively when it comes to their academic life here on campus. Great. We work in the Office of Residence Life. We work very closely with the Office of Student Engagement. And living with your students, we have a master's level area coordinator staff, and this is a great resource for you. Our area coordinators are a professional staff. And if you ever have any questions about your students' experience or you're talking to your student and you want to talk to somebody who lives basically in the same building with them, a professional staff, feel free to give us a call. Living with your students, we have the resident assistants. And these are full-time students. They've been through what your students are going through. And almost over half of them are in the first year areas on campus. We also this year have launched an interfaith peer minister program with Campus Ministry and the Center for Faith in Public Life. And we have one student peer minister embedded in each first year area. And they'll be doing a lot of programs related to homesickness and related to transitioning to college and ensuring that that spiritual dimension is important to your students. And finally, with our Office of Student Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, we're also launching this group called the CARE Team. And they're really there to help your students learn how to dialogue and talk about what's going on in the world and what's going on in their lives as well. They're a great resource that the RA's are using in terms of supporting roommate conflicts and helping students develop that language around asking for what they need and what their expectations are. Because as Julia said, living with somebody new is really a difficult transition. And a key part is that we want to help students facilitate through that transition and get through that transition smoothly. I just want to echo that one of the areas that I do believe that Fairfleet University does really well is our peer leaders. So our new student leaders, our resident assistants, our CARE Team members are student leaders here. Again, they're junior, software, software juniors and seniors. They're well trained. A lot of times they share their cell phone numbers with their first year students. They develop an amazing relationship with them. You know, we've we've asked specific NSLs or resident assistants to reach out to first year students that we might be concerned about. They take them out on a coffee date or they go have lunch with them. And they do thorough check into the students and make sure that they're transitioning successfully well. So we're really proud of our student leaders here. Awesome. Another office that we work hand to hand with is our Dean of Students Office. Our Dean of Students Office, they work very closely with residence, life and student engagement to ensure that your student is being served at the best rate or best way possible. If there are any issues when it comes to academic or wellness, it goes right through our Dean of Students Office and they're constantly communicating with residence, life and student engagement. They have drop-in hours weekly and they have a case management service where, again, if there's any referrals or any concerns concerning your student, it is communicated to them and, again, they communicate with the proper channels to make sure that we're checking in with your student to make sure that we're supporting them in the correct manner. If you ever have any questions for our Dean of Students Office, when in doubt, feel free to call. As you see, our number is 203-2544-211. And then, of course, the Department of Public Safety, they're open 24 hours. What I must add is that we have EMT-trained public safety officers. So we have some great staff that are here to support our students just in case of any emergency. Or we encourage our students just to get to know our public safety officers for them to have that relationship just in case anything happens, just in case they have any concerns. As well, feel free to call Public Safety if you have any concerns at<PHONE_NUMBER>. I must also add we have our parent guardian guide, which is on our post-orientation page. Feel free at any point to check there. It's a great resource. I'm sure if you have any questions, a lot of those answers would definitely be right in that parent guardian guide. Great. Awesome. Yeah. Yes, so. And again, the Office of Student Engagement and Office of Residence Life, we're actually in the same suite in Barone and our Barone Campus Center, suite 96. The Office of Student Engagement, as they mentioned before, they're in charge of the NS cells and they also have master degree professionals working hand in hand with our students to ensure that they're getting the support they need socially. And when it comes to their wellness also, they're constantly checking in with our students, Residence Life, the same thing. Again, my office and Meredith's office, we're actually stationed right in Residence Life. We're there constantly and we're actually, a lot of our department is live on. So we're actually on campus here to support our residents 24-7 just in case of emergencies. And I definitely have to add other resources, our Academic and Career Development Center. Again, if your students have any concerns when it comes to their academics or even when it comes to their future, feel free to have them reach out to the Academic Career Development Center. Their phone number is 203-254. Somebody, it's him. Sorry. 254-4081. Thank you. Great, just to tag on to that piece, these three offices, along with Counseling and Psychological Services, we're in constant communication. And we really wanna make sure that your students have a safety net, but also have the ability to grow and thrive here at Fairfield. And ACDC is their one-stop shop that's Academic and Career Development for anything related to their academic adjustment issues. We're a student engagement in Res Life. We handle more of the social out-of-the-classroom concerns with students. Great. Yeah, I wanted to add that if your student, if your child really needs urgent services, that we do have a walk-in hours from two to four every day. And that means somebody will be there. They will be able to see your child between that time, two and four. And to access our services, the phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and it's extension 2146. I also, Julia, do you wanna talk a little bit about our satellite program? Oh yeah. These, oh yes. Yeah. Yes, yes. We have what we have now, which is new as of last year. We do have clinicians going into different departments at the university. We have a clinician who is over at the athletic department at Walsh. On Monday afternoons, we have somebody at the academic support and retention area on, I believe it's Tuesday afternoons. And then we will be having somebody over at Brown so that we have different areas that students can come to if they don't feel comfortable coming up to our department. Yeah, great. Great. So just some key upcoming events that are occurring on campus. So this weekend is our fall break. Our students do have Monday and Tuesday off. Some students do stay on campus and some students do take the time and reconnect with their families and that's completely fine. Meredith, do you wanna talk a little bit about new Monday? Sure. Our inner residence hall association sponsors this little fall festival. We call it New England Day and we celebrate all things fall and that's next Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. There'll be entertainment, free food and activities for your student to engage in and hopefully connect with other students. And this is open to all four class years but we typically see about half of the first year class come through to this fall fair and it's a lot of fun. I'll be there. That's a great day. Yeah. The other major event that's coming up and which is where we wanna welcome our families back to campus is Alumni and Family Weekend is October 21st. Tickets are on sale at fairfill.edu slash AFW. It will be that weekend actually is coming off the heels of our new president's inauguration week of wonderfulness. Lots of events are happening that week because it's our inauguration week over a new president, Mark Nimmick. In addition to that, we've also invested one of the areas that we know as a university is that if we engage our students heavily, especially on the weekends, then in creating really substance free programming then that allows for us to mitigate the alcohol and hookup culture that can happen at pretty much any college campus. So every Thursday the university sends out the Weekender which is made up of all key events that are happening Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for our students. We also invest heavily in late night programming from 10 p.m. to around 2 a.m., especially on Friday and Saturday. So parts of the Weekender, some I think pretty cool components of the Weekender is Southside which is this late night cafe. I don't know if anybody knows about these Yogiibo bags or massive bean bags that students sit on. There's free food that's being offered. They do fun like hands on pottery or stuff or stag or there's a band sometimes that are there but it's a really cool environment. We also have Fairfield Flicks which is our movie night series on Fridays. Every Friday I believe and I think it's 10 p.m. I think. Yeah, thanks. In addition to that they're once a month or twice a month we have late night. It's actually at the Tully now. It used to be called late night at Barone but it's now late night at the Tully. And again it's free food at the dining room with some kind of complimentary entertainment going on. The bingo series for some reason I cannot explain it. Our students here at Fairfield love bingo. I mean like we're talking about like attendance rates of about 100, 150 each bingo night. I'm not sure what's going on there but they love it. We also have shuttles and shopping that's also occurring on the weekends. And then if any student one of the wonderful things that if you're ever bored at night a student can just simply click on OrgSync. There is an app. There's also they can log into OrgSync and they can see all the events that are happening here on campus. And you yourself can also log into OrgSync and the website is on our screen Fairfield.OrgSync.com for events on campus. So with that being said, so we've hopefully provided you with some wonderful resources. We now want to pass it over to you all to ask us some questions. We have Brendon Hunt behind the scene. Brendon is actually one of our co-chairs of new student programs. He helps supervise a new student leaders. He himself may offer some insights as well. Thanks Kamala. So we had a couple of questions that were submitted. The first, someone is wondering if counseling offers any sort of bereavement groups? Yes we do in fact. And what we do is we have one of our clinicians and also Father Scalise who is at campus ministries. And they both, it's a nice, it's a really good bereavement group where they both come together. And last year I believe there were about eight or nine students who were in that and it ran the whole year. So that is right now in the process of getting started and I would say contact our office. The person who will be running that group from our department is Mary Ellen Spitzfaden. It's a great question. Awesome. A second question is that a care team member was mentioned. Could somebody just explain what that role actually is and what it means? Sure, sure. Could you repeat what we did? So care stands for community advocates and relationship educators. The goal of that team is that they oversee a group of residence hall buildings, let's say it's a quad area. Their goal is to bring together students who live in the quad, they bring them together and they actually engage in intentional difficult dialogues around current events, social justice issues. The entire purpose is to ensure that we're creating a space for students to not just sit in their room and just be in polarized environments in their echo chambers, but come together and actually talk about really important issues that our country and our world is facing right now. So the care team members are there to facilitate difficult dialogues as well as to create wonderful relationships amongst the students in our residence hall environments. And just to add to that, they do have bi-weekly discussions and campus-wide discussions that are actually in the residence halls. They, those meetings, they're assigned to different residence halls, but they're typically before our sophomore residential calls, they have a weekly community night, which all students are welcome to and we especially encourage first year students to go to the care team dialogue and then stick around, get to know some sophomores for some free food at the community night. And also the care teams are also embedded with each residence hall staff. So each residence hall that your student is, their first year RA team has a set of care team members that they can go to if there's a roommate conflict or if there's a difficult floor issue or any kind of, any number of conflicts and the care team member serves as a consultant and as a guide for the resident assistant to help facilitate those dialogues about issues or concerns that are directly affecting your student. Very cool, definitely a very valuable resource on campus. Another parent or guardian is wondering where exactly the counseling center is on campus. Yes, that's a good question. And even hard to describe, but we are literally right next to the health center. We are in Dolan West. There's two different Dolan buildings. There's one, which is the business school, which is down by the quick center. We are literally on the opposite end of campus. So we're right at the West gate up on the Western side of campus. And then Julie, you had mentioned the anxiety toolbox. Someone's wondering if a student has the opportunity to sign up for that or how to get involved with that. Yes, absolutely. The anxiety toolbox, what the student would do is what they would do is make an appointment to see a counselor, and that would be it for the individual session.  Our first one actually is starting today. Sometimes it takes a little bit to get enough students interested, but the first one is starting today, and then we'll hopefully start another one probably in the next two weeks. So. Awesome, and then if a student is trying to get to the ferry or the airport, does Fairfield offer a shuttle of any sort? For fall break or, for Thanksgiving, our associate vice president and FUSA, our student government, typically sponsor several ferries and shuttles, and the shuttles to the airport, the ferry, and the train station, which is literally 10 minutes away in Bridgeport. And I do, we do also go to local airports, typically LaGuardia and JFK. All that information would be posted for your student on OrgSync. And again, that's typically for our November break or Thanksgiving break, which good thing to note, the halls closed that Tuesday at 6 p.m. If your student has a late class, they just need to let us know in rest life. But there are shuttles that run all day, and then again for winter break closing as well. And then I think our last one is someone's just hoping that we could talk more about the opportunities for those on the weekends that aren't interested in kind of the party scene. Yeah, so let me go back a little bit here. So this is, when we talk about the Weekender, I mentioned that we send out this email every Thursday, which incorporates a lot of the events that are happening on the weekend. Those are geared towards students who are not wanting to participate in the party scene. And I have to say that we've come a long way. Before, I would say five or six years ago, we used to, students would say to us, there's nothing to do on the weekends. And so, by default, they're partying. Now that rhetoric has changed drastically. There's a lot to do on the weekend. Students who want to participate in the party scene in a very safe way, they're welcome to do that. But also students who feel like that's not their environment, all of these events that are on the screen are available to them, like Southside Fairfield Flex, Late Night at the Tully, Banco Series. Those events are occurring on every weekend. And I know that residence halls and the residence halls themselves, RA's are required to put on events in the halls on the weekends as well for students. I would just add there's also a plethora of clubs that are doing programming on the weekend also. So again, if your student checks on OrgSync, I'm sure they'll find definitely something that's going on over the weekend to get involved with. And we also encourage students. We have so many athletic events, and that is such an underutilized activity on campus. And it's so much fun to really support their Fairleau peers. The athletic events are typically all on campus. We have basketball season coming up that is actually off campus, but we have a free shuttle, free tickets to the game. So really encourage your student. It's a great free resource for them and to show their Fairfield pride. That's all the questions that were submitted to me. Great, well thank you all so much for your time. We hope that you have a wonderful rest of your week. And with that, I think we are pretty much prepped up. Take care. Thank you.

is Katherine Miller and today I'll be presenting on my current PhD research, understanding Anglo-Saxon burial practice patterns from radio carbon dating, a case study of southern England. As this project is still ongoing, any feedback, questions during this session is very much welcomed. As I mentioned in the title, the time period for this project to center during the Anglo-Saxon period of England or maybe roughly between 450 to 800 AD. Much debate has had had concerning the extent of the migratory patterns of Anglo-Saxons into England. A more traditional view of this is when the Roman government and the army were pulling out of England around 410 AD and left England vulnerable. The estimated date of arrival for European factions began roughly around 450 AD. But as to how many entered and how violent this entrance was is one of the largest questions we early medievalists are trying to answer. The migration question has also been aided by the lack of first-hand accounts. Many of the contemporary individuals such as Bede and Gildus and were written generations after the arrivals of Anglo-Saxons. Much of what we know from this period is from the archeology, particularly in the southwest of England. In utilizing archeology and Anglo-Saxon cemeteries, we can begin to understand the cultural richness and diversity during this period. The cemeteries are one of the many features that cultural populations used to mark their existence in a region. Anglo-Saxons express their cultural and religious identity through burials of its people. Examining grave sites with mixed practices and rites will help to unravel the commingling of these many cultures that entered England. On the slide, I've listed a few of the many features, many burial styles that could be present within an Anglo-Saxon burial site. Two of the main time periods I want to focus on that are pertinent to my part. I'll discuss two of the main periods that I want to focus on in this project. The first being the sixth and sixth century. We mostly see field cemeteries that could contain trench burials with stone, as well as that contain probably a variety of burial position, grave alignments, and proportion of goods. The second being the seventh and eighth century, where burials are sometimes furnished with clothing, weapons, jewelry. When thinking of this, we can consider this maybe final phase. We think of places like Sutton Hoo, Priddlewell, those more lavish places. We also begin to see burial mounds, which are probably more than more wealthier people, kind of creating their monument in the landscape, as well as we see a stark contrast with some graves having no goods and quite plain overall. Although there is some pattern concerning chronology and burial practice, there is much more variety in commingling of practices within cemeteries. This thought is what ultimately sparked interest for my project. The cross for this project was to conduct a radiocarbon survey of three Anglo-Saxon cemeteries, Appledowns and Droxford from the Kingdom of the region of Wessex, or South Central England, and Pilgrim's Way from the region of Kent, or Southeastern England. By conducting a radiocarbon survey on individual cemeteries that contained a variety of burial styles, I wanted to see if there was any chronological sequence or pattern to the burying practices within one cemetery or population sample. In addition to looking at burial practices and chronology, I wanted to examine the relative dates from the archeological goods and how they fared alongside the radiocarbon dates, exploring that relative versus absolute. Thirdly, how did these dates fit into the historical accounts from Feed and Gildus and others, and how these somewhat contemporary sources fit into the archeological narrative? By utilizing osteology, chemistry, history, and archeology, I wanted to gain a better understanding of how cultural practices changed over time as the population was changing in England. I began my project by going through collection databases and reading through many Anglo-Saxon cemeteries and burial sites. I ultimately chose cemeteries based on site, on their sites, on diversity of burial practices. With Apple Downs being on the larger sites and Dockstreet and Pilbombs Way being on the smaller end. After the selection of these three sites, I began choosing various burials for radiocarbon dating. I wanted to choose graves so we're overlapping each other in burying alignments, i.e. north, south versus east, west, to see if there was any sort of temporal difference between these features. In addition to differing alignments, I chose graves from across the cemetery rather than one locus point, as this would probably give a better timeline for the cemetery. Lastly, the amount of goods within the graves played into the selection. I chose graves that were in a range of riches. Some of the graves containing lots of graves, while some containing none. Having this amount of dateable good within graves is hadn't essential for the radiocarbon dating process in further interpretations. Last, as for my skeletal samples, I chose small fragments from long bones and the skull, as this contains the most compact, our hard bone. This compact bone thickness is crucial for gathering radiocarbon dates. I also chose fragments versus taking samples from long bones, as this is a destructive process and not wanting to further damage any further articulated bones. Finding fragments for sampling was fairly easy at Apple Downs and Brock Sturt, as they were buried in a more clay-like soil, which helped with preservation. While pilgrims' way was a much more chalky soil, which turned the bone into a chalk-like material, which kind of sucks out all the carbon and isotopes and stuff, making it difficult to sample. As for my radiocarbon method, I analyzed my samples at University of Bristol and I followed a very similar procedure to Oxford. Some background on how we can tell the age of an individual from carbon-14 levels is carbon is absorbed by an organism from the atmosphere, and once an organism dies, that level of carbon-14 begins to decrease. And thank you to some clever chemists, we know that rate of decay. And we can use, grab that sample, grab that level through graphitization and breaking down that bone sample and sending it through the accelerating mass spectrometer machine, which is a big fancy word for a magnet set. We programmed to pull out certain isotopes. And then we plug it into Oxfile, which is this kind of statistical program that Oxford came up with, and we can grab that level or that VP date and turn it into a cylindrical date. Thus, the cylindrical date you see a lot of time in radiocarbon process is actually the date of death rather than the date of living, because it's when that radiocarbon started to decay. Also, there is a large plateau in the radiocarbon curve during this period, which can make it quite difficult to get a narrow range of the death of an individual. Thus, Bayesian model statistics utilizing artifactual dates, as they're known, have played an important role in these narrow, these large ranges. The relative dates that have been most useful have been the 9th typology by Eveson and Bruner, and the spearhead typology by Swanton, due to the plethora of these items at each site. The relative dates I am using were collected by the original excavators of each site and then comparing the originals with the original texts with Eveson and Swanton. Now that I've given a bit of background, my methodologies and a bit of history, I'll jump into the specific details of my site and project. The first site I chose was Apple Downs. Apple Downs was originally excavated by Downs in Welsh in the 1990s and is located near Compton in Chichester County. That's central England, London's out there. Apple Downs is comprised of two cemeteries that contain roughly 120 individuals between them. The first cemetery is kind of that more later Saxon period, rows of east-west alignment, little to no goods. While cemetery two, which is where I focus most of my efforts, has that those varying alignments ranging in richness, cremation, inhumations, and holding the bulk of all the individuals. This is the largest and most studied of the three cemeteries I will be examining. For example, Dr. Alice Bates and Dr. John Hines have published three radiocarbon dates along with Dr. May and Dr. Bevan who have done some stabilizing on those samples as well. This has been helpful because it's been provided almost a parameter for error for me to see where my data lies compared to theirs. As you can see, I have radiocarbon dated 10 individuals from this site. There is a both a mixture of males and females with mostly adults and one child and one adolescent. As you can see, they're dating mostly between the later 5th century and 7th century again based on varying relative dates like the 9th typologies and spearhead typologies. The second site I chose was Drogsburg which is located in Hampshire County on the River Mound again in South Central England. So, I'm sorry, I don't want it to be over here just to give you a graphical reference. This site was originally excavated by Dale in the early 1900s and then was re-escavated by Adelworth in the 1970s. Besides Dale's and Adelworth's account, it has also been thought that the current village of Drogsburg might have been the mid-to-late Saxon settlement of Drushenburg mentioned in the Doomsday book. The cemetery contained a total of 41 burials that is thought to be much larger but due to the large railway constructions that was happening in this area, much of it might have been destroyed. Again, I radiocarbon dated 10 individuals from this site. Like Apple Downs, there is a mixture of males and females except this sample seems to be on a much younger range mostly in their 20s with one child. Also, these individuals were found with a lot less dateable goods. But interestingly, Drogsburg-19 was found with a mixture of both Anglo-Saxon metalworks and rumen pottery. The last site I chose was Pilgrime which is closest to warm than Kent. So another geographic reference is one it would be worn to the west of this. Again, due to the chalky soil, I was only able to radiocarbon date six of the individuals. Unlike the other two, these are mostly males with one child and two possible females. Interestingly though, we do have several burrow burrow and one elite burial. As you can see on this map, the numbers you see here in the next graph are the burial numbers of the information and these are kind of the grave type numbers. But this one here is probably the most elite burial of all my surveys, 767, on the next slide, 768. And it contains a plethora of metalworks including weapons. And it's been really helpful for dating as well. Here are my individuals. My six individuals, mostly males, females, adults, one adolescent, again, mostly later, the fifth century, the seventh century. At this time, I have finished my radiocarbon dating with 26 individuals and I have re-branded samples with carbon 13 and nitrogen 15 to kind of discount the marine reservoir effect. When radiocarbon dating anyone or any sample, an individual's diet must be taken into consideration. If an individual consumes a lot of fish, those nitrogen levels that they would have gotten from the fish can alter the dates and actually make them look a lot younger or a lot older than they actually might be. Thus on my carbon 13 and nitrogen 15 readings, these individuals would not have consumed any fish. It would have probably eaten mostly terrestrial animals. As I mentioned earlier, due to the plateau and the radiocarbon curve during this period, a lot of my date ranges a lot longer than you might expect compared to other sample studies. So mine are usually between 100 to 150 years. As you can see on my table here, some of the relative dates are matching quite nicely to my radiocarbon dates, such as Apple Downs 18, Droxford 19, and Pilgrim's Way, 768 or Pilgrim's Way, 767. Got some really aren't. The Apple Down and Droxford samples on average are a bit earlier from what I was expecting due to the fact they're falling more in the transitional period between the Romans and the Anglo-Saxons. This was interesting because Pilgrim's Way is falling within that stereotypical period of the Anglo-Saxon period. But this dip in time in the Roman period could explain why there's Roman artifacts that Droxford and Apple Downs were falling rather than Apple Grim's Way. Here's a timeline I calculated on OxCal to demonstrate the kind of time difference. As you can see, Apple Grim's Way is on the top and far more to the right and that's 500 to 700 range, whereas Droxford and Apple Downs and the left hand are far more to the left hand side. As this project is still ongoing, I still have so many questions left. I'm hoping to discuss whether restaurantium oxygen would be helpful to understanding what's going on demographically. I wanna see if we can use any see any difference between individuals presenting earlier dates alongside the ones representing Anglo-Saxon dates. By using oxygen and strontium, this could help us better understand where these populations could have lived over their lives. As well as I'm interested in comparing Droxford and Apple Downs in contrast and more specific detail to Pilgrim's Way through their location in two different regions. Also, their close proximity to Apple Downs and Droxford in relation just to one another. As we can see, there's a relationship between these people and the Romans considering there being Roman artifacts at Apple Downs and Droxford in addition to their early dates. I wanna see how these sites could play into the discussion of the interaction between Anglo-Saxons and the Romano-British. A big thank you to the people I've listed about. They've done tremendous help on this project so far and I can't wait to see where it leads. I would love to hear your comments, questions, and concerns concerning this project. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to me.


On Thursday, we found out that the U.S. weekly jobless claims totaled 3.1 million, bringing the seven-week tally to 33.5 million. Canada's IV PMI fell to 22.8. In April, the U.K. house prices fell minus 0.6 percent in April. As the coronavirus restrictions took hold, oil jumped on China export bounds, but long-term outlook remains weak.

On Friday, we'll be eyeing Canada's and the U.S. unemployment rate, as well as the U.S. non-farm payrolls. Today, I'm looking at the dollar cap pair, which has just broken below the daily HMCL, but continues within a range between 1.41 and 1.38, which are the 38 percent and the 61 percent Fibonacci Tracement levels respectively. With that, the current bearish sentiment could be supported at 1.38 again, unless a new trend can be defined. And with that, traders with high risk tolerance could consider longing the pair at 1.38 and take profit at 1.41. Do you think 1.38 will act as a support level again, or do you think dollar cap pair will drop further this time? Head over to the comment section and let me know. Of course, trading in the financial markets involves a risk of loss and you should only trade the money that you can afford to lose.
