Commenting on the new 'sys-'

"The new system of a per_

THE MEANING OF CHANGE
In Oxford AS 1 See It stePhen Leacock said, "If I were
founding a wl1verslty I would found tirst a smoking room;
then when I had a lItlle more money in band I would
found a dormitory; then after that, or more probably
with It, a decent reading room and a library. AIter that,
U I stIll bad more money that I eouldn"t use, I would
hIre a professor and get some textbooks."
Our own University Is now back In lull swing after the
summer respite. The faculty has returned, the freshmen
are orientated, all classes are registered and h2ve be­gun
their studies tor the y~ar•• Things are not entirely
the same, however, and no one ",he has returned to the
campus has tailed to remark on the varIous changes that
have taken place. But among the students I sense a feel­Ing
of at least mUd eJ:cltemeot about these changes,
a feelIng that some things long awaited for have final­ly
come and that much more 15 00 the way. 10 other words,
though I may be wrong and I bope I am, the impression
I have thus far received from student reaction to the new
and different things on campus Is that they feel inside
that the Uo Iverslty Is loosening up DOW. and that It is
yieldIng to all the student complaint and dIssatisfaction
which has been registered in the past few years. This
"good-feeling" attitude Is based on shaky groWKI and Is
very dangerous. While there is an element of pride and
hope for the SChool in us aD because of the changes
there Is also that mentality which sounds much the same
as the above quotation from Mr. Leacock.
The dangerous mental habit I am speaking of 15 that
we should feel the changes are In answer to the question
of hOw we would found and carryon an instltutlon'of high­er
learning. They are not. And the student hi not bere
to make his lire any easier as some would inUtrpret
the changes to mean. The feeling is that we who are study­Ing
here are now beginning to receive the favors and
service which we so richly deserve solely because we
are here. I have heard upperclassmen say things already
that Indicate they feel the Jesuits are rwming a resort.
Whether such statements are to be taken entirely to
heart I donJt. know, but what Is disturbing bthat In the
wake of these changes there should be a geoeral feel­Ing
satisfaction because a greal debt that was owed to
the student body by the administration Is at klOg last
balDg payed.
If anything should have dispelled this outlook Father
Mclnness's talk last Wednesday at the Mass of The Holy
Spirit was It. ThIs was the clearest and most direct state­menl
we have yet beard of Just Why we are here, but I
am under the Impression that, whUe all were impressed
by what our new Redor said, It wlU be a shock to most
to find that his wonts conveyed the message of 1nc:reased
chaUange at Fairfield University, and of harder work.
To " •• .hold history In your hands.••" is no easy task,
and lhough we are right to feel good about the changes
we cannot interpret them to mean that the school is
paying off ",hat It owes to us. Where the real debt lies
Is now clear. Our new Rector has made It very clear.

there Is an opposite problem
of even greater. long range
Import In our lives. It Is not
that we are going to be too
cro~ed phYSically, but whether
we are golrig to be too confined
Intellectually and spiritually.
Are we going to reach out for
the unexplored realm of the
Spirit or merely moan the
physical confines of our aclloo
demlc planet. Hence I ask you:
can our intellectual organiza­tions
on campus develop enough
interest In the truth oflhe spirit
to ask them selves. "what does
it mean to be a student?" Can
our spiritual organizations on
campus be inventive enough to
find a whole new liturgy to ex­press
not the mechanics of lIIe
rubrics. but lIIe personal aca­demic
life ot this year? Can
our student leaders conceive of
projects with great minds and
great hearts or will they set­tle
for somthing with a much
more Visceral orientation In
their plans? Is our student body
interested enough In truth to go
out into the community that
surrounds us. Into their hearts
and their minds as..well as in
lIIelr automobUes? Are they
concerned enough to bring back
to this campus not only the
middle class morality that they
find so easy to copyI but also
aU of the Inarticulate aspIra­tions
that wlsper there? I won­der
If 1II1s student community
has the vision to ask the ad­ministration
for something
more than longer weekends and
bigger parties. I wonder If they
. have the courage to ask them_
selves for something more than
a good time? I wonder If we
all can create together through
understanding and love a Chris­tain
community liVing In the
Spirit.
WUl we have a campus
government that will represent
,to us tllis truth of The Spirit?
WUI we have a campus news­'
paper which will interpret for
us all the truth that the Spirit
brings to US? Will our musical
clubs ever sing of this Spirit.
-r:-et me close by telling you
the story of a young Japanese
that Is almost lost in the dusty
volumes of the History of World
War II published by the office
of Na;ral ResearCh. It Is the
story of a young Japanese with
the Wlllkely name of Takeo
Yoshikowa. He was a naval
o(fIcer assigned to the Japan­ese
vice consulate office in
Honolulu during the four years
preceding Pearl Harbor. Our.
ing all that time his one mis­sion
was to investtgate the dis­position
and stregth ot the A_
merican Navy. On December 6,
1941. after four years of pre~
aration, he sent back to Tokyo
a final coded message telling
his superiors of the heavy con­centration
of ships in the har­bor
that day. then he went to
bed. On the next day, of course.
the war began. This young man
who was trained to be a naval
officer. never saw action In the
war. never served his country
'In WliCorm. After the war he
was repatriated to his country.
Today he Is a gas station at­tendent.
In his recollectlons,
written In the history. is a
stirring tribute to the splrlt
of life when he wrote, "I who
was trained as a naval oflicer
never came to seve In action,
but 1 look upon my top secret
aSSignment. lIIe one assignment
I ever had, as the ultimate
reason for my long years of
training In my youth and in
my early manhood. In truth."
he Writes, "for a moment of
my life. I held history In lIIe
palm of my hand."
Today. at the oUertory of the
Mass. as we pray lIIat God's
work will be made lasting in
you. we say to you illat you
too hold history in the palm
of your hand.
Of student life. you have come
not here to join a "fun group"
as adults Uke to say. not for
entertainment or popularity, not
ever primarily for high grades.
but for learning. And so you
have to face quickly the senti­mentality
in you that seeks to
keep you as a Child. that makes
study merely a matter of words,
that speaks the language of
Holden Cauldneld, and talks

Robert Bellarmlne, the patron
of our UniverSity. was born
of a great famUy with the pros­pects
of a life of wealth and
inQuence. But at sixteen, he
left It all in search of a truth
and life to which he could give
'himself totally. HIs asceticism
is certainly a model and inspi­ration
for all of us who say
we love learning and truth.
Fr. DeLubac outlined this
personal asceticism very
beautifUlly when he wrote:
"what we are trying to do Is
fall In love once more, and
in a new way with those ele­ments

InStltutions, and the traditions

AsceticIsm Is the antidote for
barbarity In an affluent age.
To this asceticism. finally,
must be joined a personal dedi­catton
to the trulli. certainly
young people do not have to
be reminded of the powers of
passion. It can lead us to des­truction.
But It can also be the
instrument of redemption.
Hence yOU' must work at im­planting

me. is vincible ignorance _
not wanting to learn, not open­ing
himself to trulli. You must
break out of those tlcky-tacky
boxes that Joan Baez. your
elected queen, sings of so pitI­ably
so that your life will touch
the mystery of truth In all its
dimensions. C. S. Lewis. the
EngUsh writer. once said. "U
you seek trulll In your life
you will find comfort. But If
you seek comfort you will find
neither truth nor comfort. but
only soft soap." This of course.
Is very true.

actlvltes have to be more

grow to measure greatness not
by lIIe length of a person's
beard. nor by how loudly he
moans in' a coffee ShOP. oot
whether he has engaged him­self
in the great adventure of
the mind and of the heart In
this Institution of learning.
There are too few intellect­uals
or spiritual crusades com­Ing
out of Catholic colleges,
and out of Catholic minds. To­day
there are too few people
with the sincere love for the
Intellectual accomplishments.
There are too many adventures
that are measured solely by
the violence of theIr tempo.
or by the crud.ness of their
composition. We should have
as much enthusIasm for read­ing,
as for a field day, for
studying as well as for blad­der-
ball, for contemplation as
for activity. for a ,tab well
done as a scholar today as
well as for a job to be nalled

There should be less

Teilhard de Chardin. But how

a belch at a party or an empty

- Life 1" college requires an
asceticism, a way ot life that
goes with learning. and we Imow
precious little about this way.
Asceticism Imvolves for a
Christian. it seems to me. a
deep personal commitment In an
environment that includes the
reality of original sin. Its basic
premise: life is hard. But it
Is also Important. Our liturgy
here on campus must arise from
a real participation In life, not
merely from the mechanical
rules of the rubrics. "If you
want your week-ends Off."
somebody has said, "you should
not go to college; you should
join the labor union."
There is a unique asceticism

There Is no Issue that we can­not

I think, have a very special
responslbiUty to honor Goo's

not to dllStort it or to compel
it by their actions. Compulsion
In college, you will learn, comes
not always from the top. It
comes from the tyranny of In­visible
mass opinions. from the
crowd SPirit, from fear. and
from middle class morality.
Ye 1 we sang at the opening
of today's Mass. "the spirit
of the Lord has ruled the whole
earth," There is nothtng then,
that we should fear.
It our commitmentto the truth
Is worldwide, and the vehicle
of lIIat commitment is the gilt
of lIIe mind. how should we
respond this year to this privi­lege?
First of all, a respect forthe
gilt of Intelligence. The young
mind Is as yet unbent, untried,
It Is undlstorted. it is bright.
"A talent," the poet Schiller
remInds us. "Is not something
to be toyed With." And we all
have the talent of Intelligence
which the Lord has given us.
But what does this mean? This
means that on the campus there
must be other heroes than lIIe
Cheerleader of the Year. or the
Playboy of the Month. We have
to learn to respect learning
T.he attitude Of adults towards yOWlg people In modern society Is ambivalent. Elderly society ad­verises
very widely the activities of consumption and pleasure and the colt or personality. Yet It
Is very annoyed when yOWlg people disturb the peace of its Saturday nJght, and throw Jelly beans
at the Beatles. Adults proclaim to youth that "freedom" Is the ultimate virtue of IUe. Yet they
are very shocked when students turn snake dance at Hampton Beach or Beloxy Mississippi. The
grown up world has prepared (or you the greatest economic system that history has evern known.
Yet It Is a little confused when you take its new automobUes and smash them on the high­ways
along with ·your own lives. The mass magazines love to gloat over "campus morals"
in a manner designed to tlttllate the middle-aged and to delight the economic hearts of their
stock holders. Yet our society has never been able to work out tor Its youth a system of
education that will make a coherent Whole of morality as well as of learning. Society has promoted
wealth and pleasure and treedom as desirable goals. But it is qutted shocked when young
people take them at their
word and they expand everyone
of these goals with their own
energy and their own drives.
What bothers adults today. I
think, is oot that young people
are any different than them­selves,
oot rather that they
are more energetic. When you
consider that for the revolt
of youth today. every single
weapon that young people use
to revolt with has been manu­factured
by adult society: the
glorification of material things.
hedonism, untrammelled free­dom
of expression - even flip
top beer cans that you can throw
out the windows. Yet adults have
been appalled by the events of
this long hot summer. They
have provided very IItUe moral
orientation. a great deal Of
moral confusion. and hardly any.
moral direction for young
people. Life, like the modeI'll"
theatre, has become q).Iite
meaningless. "What bothers me
most about the theatre today,"
says John Mason Brown. noted
critic ot today's theatre. "Is
the MINDLESSNESS ot much
of what we see on the stage."
That's what bothers many of us
today. Mindless society has
prepared for youanageofaInu­ence
but It has bequeathed to
you as a heretlge only an age
of barbarity.
I would suggest to you this
morning. as you begin your col­lege
year. since adults are so
confUsed about young people and
the direction which their lives
should take, lIIatyouyourselves
work out what you think the di­rection
ot your life ought to
be. You yourselves should try
to find your own way amidst
adult ambivalence. With the help
of the Holy Spirit the task Is
bolll possible and exciting. This,
doesn't mea n. necessarily.

duties as priVileged young
people entering a college today
are, 1. to find out what It
means to be a stUdent; 2. to

to your vocation as a
stl:~t!nt in modern society. If
you can make this discovery and
give this response. you will be
making your greatest contribu­tion
to our aging, confused adult

So Ople returned to school, abruptly llncUng himself a senior.
He dIdn't feel much dUferem. and thought It rather rude of time
to elbow Py without even a pardon-me.
Returning to campus this year, a student notices a few small
things indicative of larger. more haslc cbanges. There are th(
petty annoyances of laundry tickets. longer Hoes and a sllghtl}
dllferent system at meals. ~-loncer Unes everywhere, as a mat~
ter ot fact, 9.Ild a few new titles shuffled around. New faces ~
pear to show promise. and some old ones are gODe to be missed.
And behind it all. pervading the scene a tractor rumbles and
grinds out the music which proVIdes the theme for Fairfield '64-'65.
There have been many Umes past Uaat thIs patch has wlced
query and crttlclsm. and there will be a few more t1.mes before
we're done. but today, at least, we can take a look down our road
and see more clearly where we're golne.
Fewer. I thl.nk. are the' qua1Ung cravings for slavish imltatlon
ot one or another system. be it Jesuit provincial or Ivy League
Modern. in the effort to be accepted as a 'gocx1' schooL More
clarion than ever Is the call to excellence by our own unt(Jl8
efforts, tIlUding on tradition and 'trowing by constant re-evalua­tton.
Of course we both gain and lose things by the changes evoivtng
here. One thing ",e must guard against losing is that spirit of
frtendl1ness and personal touch whlFh we've enjoyed in the past
in our offices. classrooms. and amoung ourselves. God forbid
that organic c:haIwe should turn to bureaucracy. and bureaucracy
to a depersonalization of both students and faculty. If that day
should ever come. Fairfield would lose Its ralson d'etre.
But on the other side of the coin, change and growth can mean
a general upgrading and unleashing of academic freedom, as Wf'
have seen in our theology program. and will hopefUlly soon see
in philosophy. Led by a history and pre-med program, by psychology
and other areas of our liberal arts. it sees a curr'fctilum which
is or can be second to none.
All this lies waiting, Uke the fruit hanging above TantalUS. with­In
our grasp. But unlike this evasive prIze, these gains can be
captured. presuming the willingness of students to work under
capable guldMce. And presuming a kindred SPirit, which 1 think
we have. on the part of our new administration.
We have a lot to do this year, and I envy the Freshmen lrrthat
they will have tour tull years to go. Give something of yourselves
to Falrnel~ and you will receive a host of benefits In return.
To borrow a political phrase, In ali Its Implications ot what
has gone before and what Is to come, "Let us continue •.~ ."

I definitely want Fairfield to
have a good sports program. I
say this in hopes ot having sports
benefit not only the few on the
varsity teams. Sports in college
serves two pt1rposes. One Is an
outlet to release all steam built
up in studies. The second is that
sports symbolize school spirit.
Sports are definitely related to
the reasons of education: to make
a better man out of each student.
Actually, everything will be
considered In the ruture. Every­thing

they were asked What they thought

Pete Seegar In Concert
Provides Unique Experience
You park your car and Uyou're
lucky, you place an attracUve girl
on one arm and head for the con­cerl
area. You're alert fOr the
sign that he Is really Uaere.
Usually this proof comes right
near the entrance. At the gate
you see a haIf dozen to twenty
grim-faced pickets. One or two,
with a ml:r.ed look of contempt
and hope that you'll be converted,
wU1 shove a pamphlet at you. As
surely as roosters crow In the

and people who know Uaat they're
going to bear something fine.
The next sound Is the craclcle ot
applause as PeteSeeger,fe~ '--------------1 ed with banjo and guitars steps I
onto the stage. The middle-aged
lady behind you whispers to her

dear."
As he tunes his Instruments
he begins to converse with his
audience. He makes a few re­marks
about the pamphlets which
are devoted to him. And then he
starts to sing. The songs cover
a wide range. from simple child·
ren's songs' to a heavy dose of
songs with a social theme. The
Instrumentation is excellent with
the twelve string gUlta.. being
the favorite. In between songs'
when the applause settles, he
keeps up his conversation wl.th
the audience. You can feel that
Indennable power of an artist
over his audience. Few people
could love him for his Vtlice
alone. When one hears him
thoug~ and llstenS to what he
Is saying and realizes that this
man Is Uving btS Performance,
it becomes very dlrttcult to re­main
passive. You may hate him
but you can't be neutral towards

As the concen roes on you
realize, U you've never realized
it before. that you a seeing a
true folk artist., Granted. he Is
getting paid for his performance,
but when me realizes his stn­cerity
and the integrity of his
music, the commercial aspects
can beset aside. This Is eSJ)e(:lal­ly
true when one sees so much
of the poor Imitation and the
badges of insincerity. The songs

considering that it is folk music.
I can see no danger ot conup-'

Now the concert draws to a
close. The avid folk buffs are
satisfied and making compart~
