Ad Hoc Body Approves
Informal Student Dress By GEORGE BRITTON
The dress proposal submitted by the Student Association was approved by a
five to three vote at the second meeting of the ad-hoc Tri-Partite Board held before
Easter vacation. The proposal is currently awaiting approval by Fr. James Cough­lin,
dean, and Mr. Robert Griffin, Director of Student Services, in their respective
areas of class and cafeteria.
The student proposal advocat·
ed informal dress for classes
and meaJs on the Campus Cen·
ter, and formaJ dress would be
.required for the Sunday night
meal in the Campus Center, If
that meaJ was served by wait.
ers. The students felt that a
change was necessary because
the present dress regulations
"have lost their purpose" and
"are not achieving their aim."
At the meeting the Adminis­tration
proposed that dress for
classes should be formal, as
reads in the Student Handbook,
formal dress in the Campus
Center at the noon meal, and
informal dress in the Campus
Center at the evening meal.
These regulations are currently
in effect. The Administration
suported their policy because
they felt it achieved a profes.
sional atmosphere in the class­room,

Mr. Joseph Harris will speak

that has raised recent at­tention:

Following this presentation a

Tomorrow evening at 7:30 in the Oak Room the case for
Black Power will be presented to Fail'field. Sponsored by the
Young Democrats, this topic will include remarks from Dr. Robert
Cook, Professor of Sociology at Yale; Mr. Fred·Harris Jr., Presi­dent
of the Hill Parents Association of New Haven and Mr. Joseph
Harris of the Dixwell Legal Rights Association.
----------- Dr. Cook, a former Congres-sional
candidate of the Arnel'·
ican Independent Movement will
concentrate his address on thp
relations of whites and blacks
as illustrated by the close ties
of the Hill Parents association
and the American Independent
Movement. From his viewpoint
as a sociologist he will also note
the urban racial problem, pov­erty
and what the white popula­tion
must do to free the black.
Concluding his remarks Mr.
Cook will try to relate these
problems as outgrowth of our
present system.
Mr. Fred Harris' will orient
his remarks toward the Black
Power philosophy which holds
that the Urban Interracial crisis
can only be met when poor

to the Asociation lasts for two
ye~rs and there is usually an
automatic two year renewal at
the close of the original period.
Nominations for the Association
are made on a regional basis
and then the members are
elected on a national basis.
Unlike the· competitive fellow­ships,
the members of the as.
sociation are invited to become
members by the Foundation.
Personalization
The award is given to college
teachers and their spouses to
assist in personalizing the edu­cational
proceSs. It is awarded
to teachers who have particular
interest in students as persons.
The recipients of the award re­ceive
a certain stipend from the
foundation which they may use
for whatever they feel will best
accomplish the goals of the
Foundation in their school.
The goals of the Foundation
are general so that each col­lege
the associate can do what
he feels will most benefit his
campus locally. Dr. Farnum will
decide how the money which he
will receive from the foundation
will be used. He said that he
will be open to any suggestions
from any of the members of the
Fairfield University community,
concerning ways in which the
educational process may be fur­ther
personalized at Fairfield.
Doctor is eager to hear any
ideas that either the student
body or the faculty may have
concerning how the goals of the
Foundation may be accom­plished
at Faimeld.
The emphasis of this program
is a person to person relation
and not just a teacher to student
relation between a faculty mem­ber
and a student. This relation­ship
would be in addition to the
ordinary teacher-student rela_
tionship which does exist in the
classroom.

The collection, which is
nationwide, is aimed toward
solving these food and medicinal
difficulties.
Mr. Burgess emphasized the
fact that the campaign would
be non-violent. The 3,000 poor
people, both black and white,
have been trained in non-viol­ence
and the area will be pa­trolled
by volunteers from the
Southern Christian Leadership
Council.
How can Fairfield students
help? "'One way," according to
Mr. Burgess, "would be to give

Executive Board
The executive board has been
chosen with John S. Moore '69
as its chairman. Other members
of the board are as follows: At­torney
General, Thomas Lewis
'69; Chief Justice, Patrick J.
McCormack '69; Social commit­tee
chairman, Dale Swanson '69'
Grievance committee chairman'
Robert Maggi '70; Publications'
chairman, Howard Winters '69;
Activities chairman Peter Ar­royo
'70; Correspondence chair­man,
Steven Daur '71; Secre~
tary of Dormitory Affairs, Rob­ert
Murphy '71.
Mr. Howe pointed out that the
secretary of Dormitory Affairs
is a new office and must yet be
approved by the Legislature.
Liquor Law
As for other activities spon­sored
by the Government, Mr.
Robert Murphy '71 has been
meeting with an attorney from
Hartford in an attempt to
change the State of Connecti­cut's
liquor law. This is in order
to lower the drinking age.
The administration here at
Fair·field has favorably received
this idea. Rev. William McIn­nes,
S.J., has agreed to go any­where
in the state to speak in
favor of changing this law. Mr.
Ronald Bianchi, director of Resi~
dent Students and Mr. Robert
Griffin, director of Student Serv­ices
have both agreed to work
with the Student Government.
Sports Banquet
Mr. Howe was also asked by
Mr. George Bisacca, Athletic
Director, to begin planning the
annual sports banquet.
The Handbook committee has
met to begin formulating the
handbook for next year. Mr.
Howe went on to say that som(.'
type of informational letter will
be sent to all students this sum­mer.
Legislature Meeting
As for the Student Legislature
itself, Student Government vice­president
Donald McInerney
commented that nothing can be
done until the elections are held.
However, a student legislature
meeting will follow within a
week.
Mr. McInerney went on to
say, "I feel that the election be­ing
contested hindered the prog­ress
of the Student Government
since nothing could be done un­til
after the matter was settled."
Both Mr. Howe and Mr. Mc­Inerney
agreed that the Gov­ernment
Is in a stage of re-or­ganization.
By DAVID DZUREC
It seems that in recent 'weeks the Student Government here
at Fairfield has been less than active. However, upon close ex­amination
there is much going on in preparation for the next
school year.
In a recent interview, Student
Government President Philip
Howe stated that his first job
is "organizing the Government."
However, he faces a serious sit­uation
in that there is only $300
in the Government's treasury,
with many bills yet to be paid.
"With a lack of funds it is dif­ficult
to do much else this year,"
said Mr. Howe.
Gov't Planning:
Howe's First Job
Activities Fee
In answer to this problem,
Mr. Howe is working to get
the activities fee attached to the
tuition bill. He said that the fee
would be set between $10 and
$20 in order to have a more
efficient and better government.
With this increased and insured
revenue the government would
be able to have more and better
speakers and movies, to name
a couple of things.
Mr. Howe said that this issue
would be put on next election
ballot in order to get the stu­dents'
opinion. He stated further
that a large turnout .in favor
of the issue would greatly im-­press
Fr. McInnes.
Mr. Howe commented that he
felt that former Student Gov­ernment
President Michael Boc­chini
should have worked to get
the fee on the ballot sooner.
Disease of Society
The one overwhelmingly posi­tive
contribution of student pow­er
to the University has been tl)
prevent the withdrawal of teach­ers
from the academic commun·
ity and the challenge students
have issued to the stated priori­ties
of the University and so­ciety.
Mr. Hechinger believes
that the University must lead
the way in "trying to show the
disease" of society. The New
York Times editor concluded
that, "If everybody is allowed
to dream the American dream
then we could walk to it." He
declared that with student pow­er
and "freedom minded adults"
working toward this goal, a
great deal could be accom­plished.
concerned young and concerned
older people." The McCarthy
"phenomenon," s tat e d Mr.
Hechinger, has bridged the gap
between the young and old on
the issue of the war giving the
youth a new faith in the Amer­ican
political system. He quick­ly
pointed out that students must
accept the possibility that Mc­Carthy
could fail and he warn­ed,
that "idealism if it is separ­ated
from realism is not only
doomed to failure but greater
disillusionment."

as a moving force of good
rather than harm but, he can­didly
pointed out that "students
have not always been right."
In this country, commented
Mr. Hechinger, student power'
as we know it today began with
the free speech movement of
Berkeley but has spread far be­yond
the college campuses. He
explained that most fads pop­ularized
by young people have
been taken by the adult world
leaving those who identified
with them with no identity. This
has led to the "Don't trust those
over thirty" phenomenon in
American society. Student pow­er
be it exemplified by buying
power, irresponsible actions or
value evaluating is a by-product
of this phenomenon.
Peace Movement
Mr. .Hechinger asserted that
the students of today "do not
feel the. same toward the French
revolution as they feel about the
xevolution in the slums" and stu­dents
have become more in­volved
in these matters. He de­clared
that the student power
movement has found its most

rights and 'peace movements. He
noted that these movements
were not separ'ate youtn move­ments

THE STA~
Perspectives
-------------
Since' the tragedy of Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination the nation has had
opportunity for much soul-searching and examination of conscience. As a result.
many commentators have held out the hope that perhaps the death of such a great
man would result in some good. Possibly all Black Americans will now unite Witll
new resolve to pursue the'ir common goal; or perhaps white America will recognize
and rectify its errors. In this light TIlE STAG has obtained a rare interview with
"The Average Fairfield Student."
~T..\G: What was your reaction to the murder of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King?
STt"DF;XT: Oh, I thought it was too bad.
STAG: Is that all?
STUDENT: No. It was a real shame. Makes our country look real bad ya
know. All that talk about poverty and discrimination, that's just what the commies
are lookin for. Oh, they'll make hay out of this all right.
STAG: I see', don't you feel any sense of personal or national loss at the death
of such a great man?
STrDKST: Yeah, sure. But King should 0' know'd better. His death was his
own fault.
STAG: His own fault?
STCDENT: Of course, he' had no right goin' around leadin' all them marches,
!"tartin' trouble and gettin' people all riled up. He should've stayed where he belonged.
STAG: Where did he belong? This was his country, wasn't it?
STUDENT: Yah, yah, I know. Still he never should have gone into the South.
You know how the people are down there - a bunch of bigots. He was just askin'
tor trouble, And I got the impression from the tape they played at his funeral, that
he expected it.
STAG: Oh, did you watch the funeral on television?
STUDENT: Yah, all the ballgames were cancelled. Say, they sure have it,
don't they?
STAG: They? Have what?
STUDJo;NT: Them colored folks. They sure have rhythm. Didn't you listen to
the gospel singers at the funeral?
STAG: Oh, rhythm, sure'.
STUDENT: Ya know it's too bad they got King instead of one of them other
rabble rousers that have been going around startin' all the riots.
STAG: I assume, then, that you don't agree with the findings of the President's
Commission on Civil Disorders that the cause of the riots was white racism.
STUDENT: What? Hell no! That was just politics. That's the trouble now.
All the politicians are afraid of them. It's like Richard Nixon said - the commission
put the blame on everyone except those who did the rioting.
STAG: Apparently then you don't consider white society in general responsible
for Dr. King's death by virtue of the fact that his e'/forts to eradicate our bigotry
and attain justice for blacks is what made him an object of hate.
STUDENT: Are you serious? King was killed by one madman. There is no
reason to blame all of white America for the crazy act of a lunatic. Sure there are
higot<; in this country; but it's absurd to accuse all of us of that. Most whites have
nothing against the good Negroes.
STAG: Good Negro(S?
STCDENT: You know what I mean. The ones that have jobs and are trying to
hetter themselves. Not the shiftless, lazy ones that are always gettin' into trouble.
Why I'VC' worked and gone to school with colored people and we never had any
problC'm with them, It's not the white man; but just a few young punks that are
causin 'all the trouble today.
STAG: One last question, do you see any possible good coming out of this
heinous act of iJaughter?
STVDENT: We'll, maybe. It's like our preacher said last Sunday, "God works
in strange' ways."

Now is' the time for all Americans to

It is also easy to give money to a scholal'­ship
in memory of King (as long as you
can mail them your check-don't bother
to stop by the house for my contribution),
Only personal interest, strong action, and

the Editor
,
How Much Lo ger, America?
We c~n understand the frustration experienced by those who
advocate vIOlence, but we cannot condone such action. Not only is it
an affront to Dr. King's memory and philosophy but it goes against
the very nature of our theory of government. Nor is the white back­lash
acceptable. Violence cannot be met with violence. White arma­ment
is not the answer to black rioting.
Our .religious commitment must take on new meaning. We
must realIze anew that brotherhood is not just a fraternity or club but
extends beyond the middle class mileau. This concept of brotherhood
J1!.ust become the characteristic of our campus, as well as of the na­tIon.
We can no longer remain a "Catholic" liberal arts institution
isolated on our own two hundred "beautiful acres" apart from the
rest of the world.
THE STAG proposes that, as a step in this direction, a scholar­ship
be established in honor of Dr. King for young men from under­privileged
areas in the nation. Arrangements have been made
with the Youth Interracial ,Council to collect contributions for such a
scholarship. Beginning tonight in the Campus Center from 5 :00 until
6 :30, and continuing tomorrow and Friday at the noon and dinner
meals, contributions of at least $1.00 will be accepted for the fund.
During the early part of next week an on campus, door to door can­vass
will be conducted by the two organizations to insure a successful
campaign. The University has pledged to match whatever amount is
collected. This action provides Fairfield students with a real oppor­tunity
to demonstrate their social commitment.
Racism is a national phenomenon. Racism exists on this campus
as well as in Memphis. We hope that Dr. King's assassination has
graphically demonstrated to skeptics and racists, that violence born
of racism is not the way. ---
With the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., America. has
been f<?rced. to confront the issue of racism and its devastating effects.
y ~t, wIll thIS confrontation be genuine and laating or simply a token
trIbute to a great man?
White ~acism killed Dr. Ki.ng. There is a backward type of logic
held by whIte moderates that IS more concerned with "order" than
with justice. Dr. King realized this and in his famous "Letter from
Birmingham Jail," in 1963, said, "... the great stumbling block in
the Negroes' stride toward freedom is the white moderate ... who
prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive
p~ace wh~ch is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree
WIth you In the goal you seek, but 1 cannot agree with your methods,"
who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another
man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who
constantly advises the Negro to wait for a more convenient season."
Racism takes many forms. It is the George Wallaces of this
country who outwardly deny the Negro's basic human rights. But it
is also the white suburbanite who proudly boasts a liberal attitude
toward the civil rights issue and at the same time conspires with the
real estate agents in keeping Negroes out of his neighborhood.
Action now is our only recourse. On the national level, this action
must acknowledge the valid insights of the National Advisory Com­mission
on Civil Disorders, This action must awaken Congress to the
stark realities of the situation. The cut back in funds for the national
"War" on Poverty has been a factor in last summer's riots.
Non-violence, not to. be corifused with non-action, is the only
acceptable course of action. It demands not only that every American
genuinely re-assess his attitudes concerning race but that he be ready
to implement them with whatever sacrifices necessary. Without such
action words of sympathy on Dr. King's death are meaningleaa.
Free At Last, ree At Last • • •
By MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
EDITOR'S NOTE: (A speech delivered before the Lincoln Memorial during the
March on Washington, August 28, 1963.)
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand
today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This ,momentous decree came as a
great beacon of light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in
the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night
of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred year's
later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and
the chains of discrimination.
One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the
midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro
is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in
his own land. So we have come here today,to dramatize a llhameful condition.
In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. Whe'n the
architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the ConstitutioJ} and the
Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every
American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as
well as white men, would be granted the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar
as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation,
America has given the Negro people a bad check, which has come back marked
"insufficient funds."
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to
believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this
nation. So we have come to cash this check - a check that will give us upon demand
the riches of freedom and the securityof justice.
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce ur­gency
of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take
the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of
democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation
to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick­sands
of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make
justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the movement and
to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer oJ the
Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of
freedom and equality. 1963 is not an end but a beginning. Those who hope that the
Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening
if the nation returns to business as usual.
There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted
his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the founda­tions
of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm
threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful
place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds.
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of
bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of
dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into
physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting
physical force with soul force.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must
not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers" as
evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their freedom is
inextricably bound to our freedom. This offense we share mounted to storm the
battlements of injustice must be carried forth by a bi-racial army. We cannot walk
alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.
We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights.
"When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the
victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality.
We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel,
cannot gaitllodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We
cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto
to a larger one.
We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood
and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "for white only." We cannot be satisfied,
and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousnei>s
like a mighty stream.
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of excessive trials
and tribUlation. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you
have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms
of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the
veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suf­fering
is redemptive.
Go back to Mississippi; go back to Alabama; go back to South Carolina; gl)
back to Georgia; go back to Louisiana; go back to the slums and ghettos of the
Northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let
us not wallow in the valley of despair.
So I say to you, my friends, that even though we must face the difficulties of
today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the
American dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning
of its creed - we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves
and sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of
brotherhood. .
I have a dream that one day, even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering
with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed
into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where
they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by content of their characteJ'.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabarua, with its vicious racists, with

with their physical responsibility in expiating the Nobel laureate's untimely demise.
At Tufts, student demands for greater Negro representation were unconditionally
accepted by the Dean of Admissions at a conference called by students. At Trinity,
the administration building was seized as a demand for a Negro scholarship fund.
At Boston University, high-ranking administration officials were unwillingly detained
to boot. At Columbia, yet another Negro scholarship fund drive was assisted by
sympathy strikes from Students for a Democratic Society (anti-war), Black Power
advocates (protesting construction of a new gym in Morningside Heights), and
Barnard students (anti-housing regulations, to say the least). The upshot, at this
writing, had been to effectively isolate the campus from the outside world. And
here, at Fairfield, there was initiated a petition to name our-new, anonymous library
as a King memorial, in what may prove to be the Most Impossible Dream since
the Red Sox won the pennant. Everywhere, campuses that had been previously
white, middle-class and insulated, are adjusting. How shall we?
Interesting as the thought is, holding Dean Coughlin a prisoner in his officI'
has, needless to say, serious drawbacks. All participants would surely be imme­diately
expelled, with not a second thought to their worthwhile goals. Furthermore,
the students would soon feel uncomfortable in. their shirts and ties. As everyonE
should know by now, professional attire is needed to so much as enter the Dean';;
Office. (Compare, for a moment, the attitude of other schools, where demonstrations
of student concern are welcomed, reasonable student demands are eagerly embraced
by open-minded officials, and clear heads are maintained by administrations faced
with semi-insurrections, with the Fairfield atmosphere of implacable hostility to
rising student fervor as it lurches at the chafing aspects of misguided campus
discipline and misplaced authority.)
Less facetiously, it is imperative that this campus break out of its sleepy,
hollow attitude to the murder-reflected in poor response to the memorial vigil,
apathy to the letter of condolence to Mrs. King, and the mass exodus of glee from
campus taking advantage of the national mourning.
As good a place as any to start is the library. Memorials have been suggested
for President Kennedy and Pat Burke with fizzling reSUlts, and the school still
hopes for a big donor for the structure, so the way will be rocky for any "memorial
library." An alternative, donations for a series of books on race relations, is more
attainable but probably less acceptable to those behind the petition. It should seem
the least Fairfield could do, however, to make at least a gesture toward the foremosl
social martyr of our era and break with its pattern of sticking to musty, obscur~,
irrelevant names of Jesuit saints as patrons of our campus structures.
Most acceptable, most reasonable, and least practical would be the establish­ment
of a scholarship fund. Approximately $30,000 will be necessary for the enter­prise
to last but this ought not to deter any group of interested students from
plunging ahead with the fully worth,,:hile idea. Ultimately, any such venture would
have to be the brainchild and financial burden of well-organized, dedicated students.
Hopefully, some will emerge in the immediate future.

that one day, right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be

have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and
mountain shall be made low, the rough places shall be made straight and the glory
of the lord will be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with.
With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle
together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we
will be free one day. This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to
sing with new meaning - "my country 'tis of thee; sweet land of liberty; of the
I sing; land where my fathers died; land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountain
side, let freedom ring - and if America is to be a great nation, this must become
true.
So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvacious slopes of California.
But not only that.
Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi, from every moun­tainside,
let freedom ring.
And when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and
hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of
God's children - black men and whitemen, Jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Pro­testants
- will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old Negru
spiritual. "Free at ·last,·free at last; thank God Almighty, we are free at last."

Field Day
It was a real field day for
button vendors. Some of the
participants resembled decorat­ed
war heroes. There was a
quick turnover of roasted chest­nuts,
Eskimo pies and potato
chips. One vendor cried "Re­member
the big demonstration.
Buy a giant balloon."
One of the main speakers was
Rev. William Sloane Coffin,
Yale University chaplain. "We
must think as men of action and
act as men of thought" said
Coffin. He cautioned against
self-righteousness saying, "The
President may not be the best
president America has ever had
but let us remember that we
are not the best people the
President of the United States

according to Benda, "a very
strong kind of racial, condes­cending
attitude."
The Teach-In dealt not only
with the Vietnamese conflict but
also with the problems in our
cities. John Wilson condemned
the assassination. of Dr. King
and communism as an answer
to racism. "Nowhere in the

"We charge this nation with
genocide," said Wilson citing the
higher mortality rate among
Negro infants and the shorter
life expectancy of the average
American Negoro.

In a STAG interview, Fr.
Coughlin said that the main
question before the Board is to
decide who will sanction the
new regulations once they do go
into effect. Fr. Coughlin also
added that he was "delighted at
the mechanics of the situation,"
referring to the Ad Hoc setup.
He said that demonstrations and
protests were "distressingly a
·part of American education" to­,
day, and that proper- channels
·for change and discussion, such
as the Ad Hoc Board, should be

Despite the confrontations in
Village and outside the Sheep's
Meadow where the demonstra­tion
was held, there was a
picnic air about the gathering.
Children played ball, flew kites
gins kept the Red team going,
but the Fairnelders could not
push a score over, and lost 8-5.
A late match pitted the F. U.
Ruggers against the H.M.S.
Leopold 0" the green at the
Pub pitch. Winslow Dun n
scored on a fumbling pass from
P. T. Salomone. An excellent
game was also played by Bill
Schmeising, who fought off .the
oldest .prop on the ship to a
standstill. Bill Cosgriff out­bawked
the other team to gain
an advantage there, and no
other tries were scored although
Bob Maney and John Langan
almost got in for a score. The
Leopold finally gave up and con­ceeded
the game to the Red,
which was a lucky occurence
because Bob Shea, Flush Con­nolly,
and 'Beef' Smith were so
sunburned they couldn't have
lasted much longer.
On Easter Sunday, the Red
played the Ballou RFC. The Big
Red succeeded in pushing their
opponents all over the field;
however, two penalty kicks gave
Ballou a 6.0 advantage at the
half. Fairfield then came to life

picked up a loose ball and
carried it over for a try. Fer­raro's
kick was perfect, and the
Red were back in the game. The
Islanders, however, took advan­tage
of the Red's inexperience
and a penalty kick gave the
Blue a 12-5 lead. Suddenly,
Jack Novero broke through and
lateraled perfectly to Johnny
Langan, who fed Joe Sindt with
a pass and Sindt scooted in for
a score. Ferraro once again
converted and the score was 12­10,
but another penalty kick
iced the game for Ballou.
On Monday, some at the Red
rested, and the result was a 3-3
tie with the Buccaneers, a team
Fairfield would have easlly
beaten at full strength. Jack
Higgins played an excellent
game, repeatedly getting the
ball away, and Billy Connolly
played his usual tough game,

In the 'c' game, a quick score
by Chuck Dombeck gave the
Little Red a three point advan­tage,
but the Wesleyaners
stiffeneu and the Red could not
make the big play, despite some
fine playing by Danny Baudouin
and Bob Treaner. Jack Doyle
did have some fine movement,
and in the serum, Bill Schmei­sing,
Joe Frisch, Bobby God­frey,
and especially Bob Heine
played tough. Although the Red
couldn't get another try, they
managed to hold their opponents
scoreless for their first victory
of the season.
Sunday ,the Big Red played
host to the New York Spring­bucks,
a South African combin_
ation, who looked as If they

Jimmy Casey started finding
his footing and kicked the Red
downfield. Finally, on a fine

to a fine puSh on the part of

April 6 found a change in the
weather for the Fairfield RFC,
as they pounded the Wesleyan
visitors 20-0. A tremendous
tackle 'by Steve Carre jarred the
ball loose from the Wesleyan
wing into the hands of Steve
Ryan who raced it into the end­zone
for a three point advan­tage.
Next 'Snagglepuss' Sindt
got a score, and Doug Ferraro's
kick was perfect to put the
game out of Wesleyan's reach.
The crowd went berserk as
the Red Ruck pushed their op_
ponents all over the pitch, and
a balky play by a Wesleyan
back gave the Red a penalty
kick which Ferraro converted
for an eleven point lead. The
Red roared again, and 'Flush'
Connolly jogged around the
sleepy black and white serum
which resulted in another try.
Wesleyan could not get a decent
movement throughout the game
due to some fine 'pops' by Fer­'
raro and Novero, and all
around hard playing by Jim
Nicksa.
Even though the Big Red
backfield was injured and oper­ating
at almost half efficiency,
Jack Novero threw some of his
patented 'dummies and hit Joe
Sindt with a pass which set
the 'Snags up for his second try
of the match. Finally, Mike Fox
decided to score and bulled his
way over to score the twentieth
point of the contest.
The Red Seconds were host
to the New York 'B squad and
the match was a thriller. Kurt
Schlicting scored first for Fair­field,
but the New Yorkers
evened it up with a penalty
kick, and the match was a dead­lock.
Thanks to fine individual
performances by Pat Burke,
Greg Polzer, Bob JurcslJ. and
Bruce K1astow the Red kept
near the Blue Goal line, and
finally, "The Little Chief," .Kurt
Schlicting hit Fatty Maher with
a pass, and Maher, according to

the end zone for a 14-0 victory.
This match ev.ened the Red
regular season record at S_S; in
their last three matches, the
Fairfield Fifteen have outscored
their oponents fifty-seven to
nanght.
The B match was an utter
route of Fordham, and the B's
rolled to their tenth straight
regular season win 18-0. Dave
Fulton scored the first try, only
to have it called back on a for­ward
pass, but Billy Frese ran
through the Ram backfield to
score a try, and put fheRed
ahead. Fatty Maher started
some excellent movements and
once again sprung Frese loose
for another score. The Red kept
piling it on, and Bob .Turcsh
converted a penalty kick to add
three more for the cause.
Good pursuit by Tom Krenn,
Bob Maney and Bill Cosgriff
kept the Maroon on the run, and
a fine baCkfield movement by
the Red seconds got the ball out
to Jack Doyle, who scooted past
the Rams for a try. The Reds
continued to pour it on, and
Greg Polzer ran the next score
over to make it 15-0. Once
again Frese broke away scamp­ering
for 50 yards this time to
PQt Fairfield deep in enemy
territory, and Jack Higgins
scored the final try by out­running
the Ram backs to pay­dirt.
The C's, once again, played
an A team. They have not
played another third side this
season, but have played two A,
and three B matches. Hartford
went out to an early lead on a
try by their wing, but Fairfield
rallied in the second half to
knot it on a try by Frank Al­lard.
The game became fierce at
this point, and an onrushing
spectator had to break up the
fight between Bob Quick and a
250 pound Hartforder. Bob
Treanor played an excellent
game, as did Richie Gordon in
his traumatic return, and Jimmy
Casey "only kicked the ball be­hind
him once."

in the fourth, and' the Stags
erupted for three in the eighth
to fashion a comfortable mar­gin
for Behan, who went six
innings, and Mahoney who came
on for the final three.
Fairfield then capped its third
the centerfielder's leap while
Hal touched all the bases. This
was the only run the frosh could
manage throughout the frus­tmting
day.
Springfield added two more in
the third when Maloney doubled
after an infield error and single.
The final Springfield tally came
in the eighth after two were out
when Gleason singled and the
pinch hitter Wouton doubled to
right center.
Frosh Threaten
The frosh threatened in the
seventh when they loaded the
bases with nobody out. Dave
Closter led off with a sharp
single and took second on a muff
in the outfield. After Bob
The Stags slugged seventeen
hits in the two seven inning

three. The Stags blended their
torrid hitting with brilliant
pitching by Gibson and Behan
to garner the double win. Gib­son
went the route in the first
game, allowing only three hits.
Behan worked six frames in
the nightcap, permitting five
hits before Gibson came on in
rellef.
Florilb
Fairfield then embar'ked on
their Florida swing, opening
with a 4-0 loss to Southern
Florida, where they were limit­ed
to three hits, two by Hurlie
and one by Granata.
The Stags' frozen bats re­mained
unthawed by the warm
Florida sun against Tampa.,
which shut out the Stags 2-0
and limited them to four hits.
Frank Mahoney twirled an ex­cellent
six-hitter, but was hurt
by lack of hitting support and
costly errors. Miscues by Hock
and Bolger led to the two un­earned
runs which were Ma­honey's
demise.
With this inauspicious debut
behind them, the Stags rallied
to end the tour with three
straight wins, the red-hot bats
of Bill Granata and Dennis
Hurlie paving the way. Granata
smacked a homer, a triple, a
double and two singles to power
the Stags over Rollins, 5-3 and
3-2, marking the first time in
five years the Rollins had lost
a twinbill, and ending a thir­teen-
game win streak.

singled, and Tom Bligh singled
in two. Pat McCarthy walked
and Dennis Hurlie drove in two
more with a single, but the
rally fell short as the third

This week's Sports Personali­ty,
senior shortstop Dennis Hur­lie,
has not only provided Coach
Don Cook's diamondmen with
three years of topflight baseball
but has also exerted a steadying
influence on the team due to
the singular personality that he
exhibits.
Hurlie's quiet, conservative
air on the field conceals a fierce
competitive temperament that
has been known to explode on
occasion. It is a well_known
fact that the burly shortstop
hates to lose to anybody, any­time.
Off the field, he is des­cribed
paradoxically as a soft­spoken,
witty personality with a
quick sense of humor. Termed
"King of the Jitters," Dennis
claims the name-that-goldie-old­ie
crown and is famous for a
silver voice which enabled him
to lead Florida in singing.
Dennis' main attributes on
the field are a rifle arm and
great wrists which give him a
tremendously quick release of
the ball. His best play is prob­ably
from deep in the hole,
where he makes the tough
chances look easy. His arm is
especially strong on outfield re­lays,
where he is adept at
putting the ball right on the
money.
At bat, Dennis is a spray
hitter and a good hit-and-run

(Continued on Page 11)
By ROBERT SILLERY
The Fairfield U. baseball
team managed to fluctuate from
unimpressive to outstanding in
its first twelve games, starting
the year with a disappointing
loss to Sacred Heart, a tarnish­ed
win over New York Tech and
a thumping at the hands of
L.I.U., recouping with a com­mendable
Florida tour before
returning home for wins against
Western Conn. and Hartford
and losses to Southern and Holy
Cross.
Opening day, April 4, was a
dismal afternoon for a baseball
game, and especially so for
Fairfield. Beneath a frigid grey
sky, SHU's gangling, 6-5 hurler
Dave Beye uncorked his darting
fastball into a gusty, chilling
wind and simply mowed down
the Fairfield batsmen to win 7-1.
The Pioneers did their dam­age
in the third and fourth
innings, aided greatly by a
basket of Stag errors. In the
third, the Pioneers opened with
a bunt, and pitcher Frank Ma­honey
threw past John Walsh,
the runner advancing to third.
A walk, an error by Jim Hock,
a double steal, an infield single
and a wild pitch allowed the
Pioneers to circle the bases
merrily and tally three runs.
A similar situation occurred
in the fourth as a walk, several
steals, a single, a bunt single,
and a line single to center
tallied three more. At this point,
soph Bob Gibson relieved Ma­honey
and allowed only one
more run the rest of the way.
The Stags drew blood in the
second, when a single by Skip
Bolger scored Pete Gillen, but
the Pioneers, already playing
their third game, took advan_
tage of Fairfield's opening day
jitters for the win.

The Fairfield RFC played the
best team they have ever en­countered

Chris Grauert.
