An Open Letter from the Philosophy Department to Members
of the Faculty and the Tri-parlite Council of Fairf.eld University:
The philosophy curriculum is naturally of concern to the
Philosophy Department. During the last three years the Depart­ment
has been intensively examining th;s curriculum and in con­sequence
has effected a number of important changes in it. Tbe
content of mest of the courses within the Department has a!ready
been sharply modified in order to provide aU students, majors and
non-majors alike, with r,lgorous, stimulating work in one of the
central disciplines of the llberal arts. And while requirements for
our major students have been Increased, the number of courses
required of the general student body has - on the express recom­mendation
of the Department _ been reduced. The quality of the
work in the courses we offer and, as well, tbe amount of It requlred
have been matters of continuous concern to the Department.
A new philosophy curriculum for major and non-major stu­dents
has been in effect for a year; It has been taught by a pre­dominantly
new faculty. During this single year the courses within
it have been under continuous review; and It is the plan of the
Department to keep them under review and to change them as we
may find it fitting. One quarter of the Department is new this fall
term, and further evaluation and modification of the work we otIer
mould be made ooly in the light ol the further experience and
sua:gestions of the entire Deparbnent.
Two things we can affirm now, however, without need of
further specifl.c experience. At the present we are able to caer
a number of electives to the entire undergraduate body. We can
affrm, first, that only on the basis of a substantial eore requirement
can we maintain a faculty adequate to offer such diversified elec­tives
as Social and Political Philosophy, the Philcsophy of Science,
the Philosophy of Religion, Plato, Aristotle, Nineteenth Century
Philosophy, and Phenomenology. This dlversiflcatlon Is of
great Importance to the entire undergraduate body. It
Js a "function of a traditionally liberal arts Institution to sustain
an able Philosophy Department of quite varied interests. The di­versitlcation
is of crucial importance to that growing number of
students at Fairfield who elect to major in philosophy and who
then go on to do graduate work In philosophy, in law, and In other
disciplines. Our program tor philosophy majors would be eJfectlcely
destroyed If the appropriate variety of philosophy courses were
not to be maintained. We can affirm, second, that only on the basis
at our being able to offer a considerable variety of electives can
we maintain the excellence of faculty needed to provide genuinely
sound eon! courses in philosophy.
Students upon entering a university have no background in
philosophy and can have little Idea of what work In It will amount
to: It necessarily takes a while for them to become acquainted
with It in the way in which their high schools have already helped
them to become acquainted with mathematics, English, foreign
languages, and the natural sciences. ·For this reuon aDd tor the
rea80ns expressed above, the Phlloeophy Department recommends
to the reneral fa.culty that tweh'e hOUri of phDoeophy be requl.red
of eacb underfl'adU&te _tudent at FalrlIeld.
International PanelDebates Future of Film Industry
By BEN CAPELLE
The Brst presentation of the
Bellarmlne Lecture Series this
year, held last Wednesday,
October 1st, was an enjoyable
success. The topic, "Tadays
Films", was handled by a dis­tinguished
panel, composed of
talented representatives of the
movie Industry. The expecta­tions
were great and the over­Bow
audience of serious buffs
and occasional theatre-goers
was not disappointed.
Judith crist, the movie critic
famed for her work with "T.V.
Guide" magazine, The New
York nmes, and the Today
Show, highlighted the evening
with her sharp Insights and
wit. Joining Miss Crist were
the personable husband and
wife team of Frank and Elean­or
Perry ("David and Lisa".
"The Swimmer", "Last Sum­mer"),
the acclaimed Czechos­lovakian
director Milos For­man,
producer James Beve
ridge, and an unannounced ar­rival,
Jean Claude Carriere, a.
French playwright, one of whose
works will open on Broadway
in March.
After introductions by Mr.
Leo O'Conner ot Fairfield, who
mentioned that if such a db-cussIon
were held thirty years
ago the reaction would have
been a "big yawn", Mr. Beve­ridge
started the evening by
posing one of the most contro­versial
topics of contempor­ary
movies, that Is, the place
of sex In the 51m industry.
Sex fa FUm JndlJlJtry
Miss CrIst tackled this ques­tion
with several down-to-earth
observations. She said that sex
is like alcohol and overemphasis
of It could lead to a warped ad­diction.
She refuses to believe,
as some movies would have you
think, that the American pe0­ple
are so naive that they are
afraid to undress In front of a
mirror.
Mr. Frank Perry then dis­cussed
the movie-making styles
10 use at the present. "Holly­wood
is becoming a ghost town.
Because of overreacting and
giving some people too much
money. a regression to the Star
System may develop. American
films are down, but it Is an ex­citing
time tor films because of
the thriving of independent
ftlm-making. "
Milos Forman added that In­dependent
fUms are popular 10
Europe because they can be
made so much cheaper there
than In America. Jean Claude
Carriere agreed that this sUua­Uon
Is certainly true In France.
He pointed out that America Is
one of the few nations where
the state does not subsld1ze
fUms.
PoUtlca.1 JmpUcatloJlS Oted
JlXl.Ith Crist answered that to
impose the state would carry
unwanted political overtones.
She said that Americans enjoy
foreign.films for their "reality."
In explanation she added, "We
tend to equate any unknown
with reality and carry this Idea
to an extreme. With American
stars this Isn't possible. We see
a picture and say, "Wasn't
Gregory Peck wonderful acting
poor: "
Mr. Beveridge noted that Blm

The Club's Crisis
To the editor,
The cUITent adventures of the Flli.rlie1d
Football CIub should raise questions
within the University Community. In
quantity and In quality, certainly, the
attendance at the opening game against
Fordham indicates the need for drastic
change or re-thinldng. Since they have
DOt. been supported should not the Foot·
ball Club investigate whether they are
supportable? U even they are willing to
endure the physical and psychological
wounds of playing with the feeble cheen
of the faculty, the administration and
their fellow sludents, should they be per­mitted
to continue their suicidal exist·
ence with Student Government funds'!
As a graduate student at Fordham
University I witnessed the creation of
that University's highly successful club
program. Football had sutricient support
from the student body during its growing
days just as it has now while Fordham
is "number one". It was sponsored by
the Rugby Club and today Fordham
Rugby does not compete during the
autumn with Football _ Fordham Rugby
has not killed Fordham Football. The
opposite has surely been the case at
FaIrfield and the events of September Z1,
1969 should make this fact painfully
evident.
Should the Fairfield Rugby Club sacrl­lice
itself? Should the Fairfield Student
Body saerice themselves'! Should not
Football be sacrificed?
Yoars lilncerely,

I, 1969 THE STAG
Academics: The Chairman Speaks
Reprinted elsewhere in this issue is a copy of a letter sent to the
general faculty and members of the Tri-partite Council on the sta­tionery
of the philosophy department. The Stag feels this letter was
in poor taste, and ought not to have been written.
First of all, the letter was an indirect insult to the faculty. Long
since used to telling students to "be patient" and to "work within the
system," they have established machinery to reform the school on
their terms: the Core Curriculum revision committee. The Chairman
and his philosophy department, outvoted in that committee, have
exhibited a classic case of sour grapes. The essence of the letter is
that, at a juncture when virtually every department is jettisoning old,
"essential" requirements - History has dropped its entirely, Theo­logy
is applauding its cutback - The Chairman's department is in­sisting
that the rest of the faculty regard its discipline as a sacred cow
and allow it twice their number of requirements, for reasons no more
cogent than their old abandoned ones.
Second of all, The Chairman and his department relied on un­sound
reasoning.
1. ult is a function of a traditionally liberal arts institution to
sustain an able PhiioaGphy Department of quite varied interests." Not
the way we do. The Curriculum Committee investigated competitive
schools - Catholic, non-Catholic denominational, private, state ­and
found no respectable institution requiring more than six credits.
Their departments were as good or better than ours. For this reason,
the committee's philosophy department representative ultimately sug­gested
that philosophy requirements be lowered from 9 to 6 credits.
2. UStudents upon entering a university have no background in
philosophy and can have little idea of what work in it will amount to
... Our program for philG'aophy majora would be effectively destroyed.
War And Peac e:
Moratorium Day
The Stag will comment in detail on the complex subject of the
Vietnamese war next week, but for now we wish to make it clear that
we favor the concept and programs of the October 15 Vietnam
Moratorium.
Student opinion, overwhelmingly for peace, is certainly changed
from February, 1967. when The Stag upbraided a band of peace
fasters. Yet some students are a little shy about identifying publicly
with a leftist cause. We urge them for one day to forget fearing one's
neighbor's motives, and realize bipartisan, mainstream Americans,
even old hawk Richard Nixon, see the necessity of an early peace.
Stalemated wars, at least, nobody needs to fight.
Faculty we urge to hold no classes. Some teachers, against the
war on principle, insist on holding them for personal reasons. We
remind them that "no business as usual" is the objective, and every
class held hurts the cause of peace. The issues of war, peace, life, and
death dwarf academic routines. Others are repelled by activism ­but
to leave the classroom for this one day is a human, not a political
or social, gesture.
We ask the Administration to take the lead and declare a holi­day.
There is some question whether this will be done, because
"equal-time" provisions for pro-war elements are not built in. Their
counterdissent is necessary, but the nuances of free speech are such
that "equal-time" in this case would not assure counterdissent but
prevent sufficient dissent. Other schools, like Columbia, have not in­sisted
on "equal-time"; it would be ridiculous for Fairfield to do so.
In an era when "politicizing" of the universities has been carried out
more effectively by the Department of Defense than by SD8, it would
bear great witness for the entire Community to hold "no business as
usua)" on the 15th.
if the appropriate variety of philosophy courses wer'e not to be maiD­tained."
The Chairman's department implies here, as he has in the past,
that the Fairfield student arrives here unable to think for himself,
and will not major in philosophy - indeed, will not even voluntarily
take a second year of it - unless he is forced to do so. His attitude
to the student belongs 20 years in the past, as any faculty teaching
the Class of 1973 will verify, and if a student will not take those
extra six credits of philosophy unless he has to, why then !'.hould be
have to? If The Chairman's personnel is as good as he insists, caD
they not attract their share of majors over the course of 6 credits?
Since Fairfield has barely a dozen majors now. is it possible each
llchool finds its level of them and so have we? With the department
so small, is it conceivable that its number of core requirements do not
determine its size at all" Is it not true that philosophy courses repre­sent
an academic cattlt:. drive for all but a handful who take them?
Will reduction to six credits hurt the University at large, or just
philosophy's special privileges?
Third, The Chairman's department is clearly playing psychologic­al
warfare and power politics. Various influential faculty are concern­ed
that the core committee's recommendations. and particularly its
prospective plan to have them take immediate effect in all classes. will
pass the Tri-partite Board only over united Administration opposition,
and then run into a Dean's veto which would run directly counter to
the new machinery and force a confrontation dwarfing the 1969 Spring
Uprising. It "one quarter of the Department is new this fall term"
and The Dean regulates hiring. then the implication seems to be that
The Dean is already prepared to fight, has enlisted as "his ally the
faculty's most tenacious and vocal Chairman, and that the hirings
represent anticipatory prevention of immediate reduction of philos­ophy
levels.
In closing, this should be noted: uWe can aflinn, 6nt, that onl,.
on the basis of a substantial core requirement CAn we maintain a fac.
ulty adequate to offer . . . diversified electives . . • We CAn aflinn,
second, that only on the basis of our being able to offer a considerable
variety of electives can we maintain the excellence of faculty needed
•.. (for) core courses." Now, we might be missing something, but
those two arguments seem to be the simple reverse of each other. It
is almost as if the author of these sentences never, in the course of his
education, picked up the ability to communicate logically and directly.
Perhaps he wasted his time on too much philosophy.

"WhoM tryint" to tune AU the bells thu I rlnc"
The split In SOS during this past surruner has made it fairly
clear that that amorphous something called the New Left is and
has been splintering. Students for a Democratic SocietY has
broken up into what are now officially known as the Progresslv;;­Labor
Party and the Revolutionary Youth Movement. Strongly
ideological. Progressive Labor draws from a kind of Maoist clan
analysis. For Ihe most part its .members are clean-cut, serious,
firmly devoted, and not too much fun to be with. "Their people"
are all the people _ blue, black, green, white, yellow, red. Tactics
employed by PL to gain the peoples' suppo" range from organ­izing
rent strikes to holding beer parties for striking truck drivers.
Revolutionary Youth, on the other hand, holds commerce only
with those "oppressed peoples who are struggling against all forms
of capitalism and imerialism." Their tour de force is oration and
theatre. Righ now they're practicing karate, printing a verboSe
and boring news weekly, preparing for their October 8 to 11 an­niversary
disruption of Chicago, and backing any minority proposal
they hear about whether their assistance is asked for or not. For
the most part they have relegated their role as revolutionaries to
thai of cheerleaders for the oppressed of the Third World and
America. In many ways It's unfortunate that one of the chief
agents that forced America to recognize Its megalomania and seU·
~ightcousncss had to end up drowning in the same soup. By trying
to prove that the chicken in the broth Is dead, SOS has forgotten
all about the mock turtle,
Seriousness started to creep slowly into the bloodstream of
the New Left. Its first taste of It was the 1967 march on the Pen·
tagon. Then came a victory at Colwnbia. And a defeat at Chicago.
And a tie at People's Park In Berkeley. And through hundreds of
other political and social arteries such as ROTC, Black Panthers,
dope busts, and trials for conspiracy. Last year the New Left
shifted its emphasis from the liberation and freedom enjoyed by
a couple hundred people liVing together inside Columbia's Law
Library during the prevlow Spring's uprising to a street fighting
seriousness Identified with dubs, mace, broken skulls, and pigs.
For some time It made sense; one had to be serious If he was
going to win. But then the rhetoric took on a reality of Its own,
and seriousness turned to silliness.
Actions taken this summer and fall only reinforce the proof
of this silliness. At the SOS convention this sununer the spIlt
took place among fistflghts and catcalls: One faction, when they
didn't get their way, walked out on the conference taking all the
mailing lists and revenue. For the next two months each side
accused th~ other of being either Stalinist or Trotskyite, depend­ing
on which was pragmatically more disgraceful at the time.
Then there was a review of "Easy Rider" in "Rat:' one of the
better New York underground publications. "Rat" looked at the
movie with the eyes of Agnew and the subtlety of Proccacio.
Essentially they said that living llke the motorcycle heroes of
the movie wouldn't work: they pointed out that selling hard dope
Is bad and that socially and politically unengaged freedom is
unreal. Lastly there Is the SOS guerilla actlm in Chicago. To
"bring the war home" the Revolutionary Youth Movement plans
lots of trouble for Chicago during October 8 to 11. What they
plan to do no one can really say, nor can anyone say whether
their fiasco-oriented scheme will end in seriousness, silliness,
or sadness.
At any rate what can be gathered from all this friction is
that crazies do exist, but they've lost most of us.And while most
of us who are not mature enough to appreciate Lawrence Welk
or MontovanJ ean sympathize arid understand how the crazies
got where they are, we cannot join them. One war is already too
much, and that's on the other side of the world. To most of us
rank Is rank whether that of a four star radical or a green beret.
And missionary Is missionary whether they plan to set up ldng­dom
come in heaven or on earth. Plus to be missionary means
to convert the savages and cure them of their bad habits. And
if there Is anything none of us want to quit, nonetheless cure,
if it's our habib.

In the second game the Stags

SPORTS PERSONALITY THE FLAME
By .JOSEPH VALElUO
Sports Ed.ltor
Athletic Prostitution
There's no sense denying it - basketball is the
number one sport at Fairfield University. But ever
since the gallant Red Ruggers knocked off the nation's
third ranked rugby team, Columbia Old Blue, 14-5,
last Fall, radical students began chanting that rugby
would indeed surpass basketball as the premier sport
on the Connecticut campus, Then these. same students
gave their full support to "Lynam's Losers," otherwise
known as the basketball team, Cynicism grew rampant
as the cagers dropped 16 of 26 games. The ruggers
were our new heroes, supposedly, when they came
within a hair of an undefeated Spring season. But while
rugby might very well flourish at Fairfield, basketball
will operate with its hands tied behind its back. Bas­ketball
is a mere "sport" under the structure of Fair­field
University. On the other hand, though, rugby is
only a "club," and, at its best, a very efficient one. The
ruggers are not directly affiliated with Fairfield Uni­versity
but basketball is and that may be their undoing.
Each Fal! the athletic department passes out their
shiny little red schedules and, invariably, students turn
to the cage section and try to figure out how their
Stags will make it to the NCAA. Only the most pessi­mistic
student will settle for a post season bid to that
lowly tournament. the N.I.T. But does anyone ever
stop to think what Fairfield University has to offer to
the Lew Alcindors and Rick Mounts. Of course not.
That would be too rational. Well it's about time people
got rational and objective around here,
The Administration of this institution prides itself
that there are no "jock" courses here. Do these same
heads pride themselves when the Stags lose one game
after another as one potentially good player after an­other
repeatedly flunks out of this academic shrine? I
think not. This is the crux of the problem.
Self-Sacrifice and Hard Practice
First of all, the athletic director, George Bisacca,
is only allowed to have 16 players in school at one time
on basketball scholarships. This is far from a gaudy
figure for a power like UCLA or North Carolina oper·
ates on a budget at least twice that size. Then comes
the biggest problem - academics. If a person is to
excel! in anything, be it sports or theology, they must
properly apply themselves. This means self-sacrifice
and hard practice. Hence, the scholar may spend up to
six hours a day in the library but the athlete can only
spend two-to-three hours on the hardwood each day.
Then the weary athlete must return to his studies, Ob­viously
he is at a disadvantage for he cannot be as men­tally
alert as the scholarly bookworm. So what does
he get for his reward? A low grade but perhaps a
newspaper clipping. The athlete pays a high price for
his evening of stardom and it may not be worth it. Yet it
is highly ironic to think how the "name" universities
earned their reputation. Remember Notre Dame's
George Gipp and their legendary four horsemen, or the
Fordham Flash, Frankie Frish. Athletics earn great
prestige for universities and also bring in much needed
revenue. A strong athletic program can only help a
college.
But Fairfield is a middle class university. Most of
the 1,600 odd students who attend this Jesuit institu­tion
come from hard working middle class families.
Most of their parents just want to see their sons gradu­ate
with a tidy little degree and a satisfactory moral
code. There is nothing wrong with this, but a school like
Fairfield has no business playing the schedule it does if
the Administration does not intend "to look the other
way" in dealing with their basketball players, A peren­nial
power like South Carolina could care less if a stu­dent
took five courses with five easy teachers, Fairfield
is not a Yale or a Harvard and it never will be, Fairfield
will be, at its zenith, a respectable, average institution
of higher learning, If the Stags want a play the top bas­ketball
powers in the nation they should allow their
students to take courses which would assure their satis­factory
academic attainment provided these same stu­dents
attend all their classes and hand in their assign­ments
on time. If Fairfield University will not realize
this they should revert back to a more moderate sched­ule.
After all, what's the sense of going 10-16 with the
best in the nation when you can win 20 games against
mediocre competition like the Stags did in the '50's.
Bisacca and Head Coach James Lynam operate with
their backs to the wall. They deserve a fair chance if
they are to survive in this the age of athletic prostitu­tion.

Westchester did nothing but
throw its weight around In the
second half. Apparentiy this

". lived with him for two
years and I have nothing but
bad things to say about him."
Such was the chiding comment,
spoken in jest by Frank San­tulli,
in reference to his room­mate
of two years. John Quin­lan
Murphy. The Fairfield Rug­by
Football Club, however, has
nothing but good things t~ say
about "Q," who -for four years
has been a defensive standout
at wing forward in the serum
which he now captains.
The 5-8 senior picked up his
initial knowledge of the game
from a feilow Newport, Rhode
Island resident. Gary Kirwin
(class of '69), who penuaded
Q. to come out for the spring
season in 1967. While Murphy
has contributed much to rugby
football at Falrfl.eld, he Is quick
to note that Rugby has given
much In return: "Being scrum
captain for three years I've
come In contact with many
people - about 135 guys come
out for Rugby. Just working
with all these people has taught
me a lot."
Difficult Goal
This year John has set as
his goal an undefeated season.
(The Ruggers are 2-0 with their
most recent win over West­chester
by a score of 5-{l last
Saturday). There are many ~
stacles In the way, not the least
of which will be this weekend's

and Pennsylvania will be enter­ed.
Q. expects Penn and Rutgers
to be the toughest clubs. The
Cross, whom the Stags bested
12-0 last Fall, will be no push­over
either.
If the "Big Red" can pass
through the tournament un­scathed,
Murphy is next con­cerned
with the Manhattan

By COLIN KILEY
The Fairfield Red Ruggeri
continued their winning ways
Saturday by defeating the WeSI­chester
Rugby Club from New
York, 5-0. The "A" Ruggers,
playing before a spirited home
audience racked up their second
victory in the season in as many
games. Whlle It was pretty 0b­vious
to anyone that Westches­ter
was a bigger, stronger club,
It was not expected that Fair·
field's Red Ruggers would spend
three-quarters 01 the game on
the Westchester 25-yard line.
The Red Ruggers face a
monumental challenge this Sat­urday.
They will send two
teams, one to Princeton for the
Eastern Tournament and an­other
will face the perennial
powerhouse, Col u m b I a Old
Blues. at Central Park In a 1:30
p.m. game. It would take a su­pernatural
feat for the Stags to
win both these contests.
In the opening minutes of the
game the Red Ruggers imme­diately
had trouble defending
their goal. Although the West·
chester team was inside the 25­yard
line it was unable to score.

ating any further Westchester
scoring threat. It was here the
action took place. Fairfield dom­inated
the serum in the line­outs,
but the backfleld was un­able
to move the ball. A good
kick by Q. Murphy seemingly
set up a score but a Westches·
ter foot booted the ball out of
the scoring area. The action
from then on was scrums and
IIneouts - neither team able
to muster any running attack.
Ruggen Threaten
Fairfield spent the last five
minutes of the ftrst half threat­ening
to score. They had close
to ten chances before the score.
Tom King had taken the ball
almost all the way before being
stopped by the Westchester
. wall. Peter Yarros went as far
as the five-yard line before he
was stopped. Again King went
almost as close to the goal line
as possible but no further as
the Westchester men gang­tackled
him. Chris Galvin was
smothered by the Westchester
scrwn each time he tried to
run. King picked up one of Gal­vin's
kicks but was again stop­ped,
just short of paydlrt. Gal­vin
himself was almost over but
was haltcd.
Finally, dctcrmlned Joe "The
Mount" Sindt picked up his own
kick and went In for the score.
Krenn's faithful toe put the ball
between the crossbar poles.
Thus after about ten chances
Fairfield had scored but the
first half ended with that play.

that the Jaspers did not over­power

Fordham. They just beat Fair­field

mistakes. The hard play
of the whole defensive unit,
especially co-captaln John Mori­arty,
kept the score lower than
It could have been. Fairfield
must play this kind 01 defense
against Iona Friday night in
Mt. Vernon. But somehow
Coach O'Toole and QB Schultz
will have to generate some type
of offense to give the Stags a
chance against the Gaels - a
team they would Ilke to beat so
very much. Iona is a lood team,
but not any powerhouse as they
just nipped Marist last Satur­day
by a 7-6 SCON!. And as
everyone knows, Marist is a
team which lost to Fordham
51-0 in a scrlnunale.

to regroup as they showed
signs of life in the second quar­ter.
Unfortunately, QB Frank

Improvement, especially defen­sively.
The reason for their loss
by the margin of 35 points ~as
not so much their Inability to
move the ball offensively, but
Manhattan's ability to tum four
otl'ensive mistakes into touch·
downs. The Stag defense held
the Jaspers In check on the first
two series of downs. But It was
their Inability to cover punts
that set up the first score for
Manhattan. On the following
kickoff, Willie Mraz couldn't
find the handle running back
the ball, and he fumbled it as
he was hit and the Jaspers re­covered.

The Fairfield Univenity F~
ball Club once again took the
f1.eld last Saturday afternoon at
Gaelic Park seeking to upset
the Jaspen of Manhattan. Their
efforts were In vain, though, as
the Men in Green scored touch­downs
In every quarter, includ­ing
two In the first, to send the
Stags down to their second
straight defeat by the score of
35-0.
In the back of every player's
mind, and the small handful of
Stag fans, was the hOITor of
last week's brotal 69-0 defeat
to Fordham. Even as the larger
Manhattan team took the field
last Saturday. there was hope
that somehow and someway the
Stags would avert a repeat of
their perfonnance against Ford­ham.

Last Saturday the Stag eleven
once again came up on the short
end of a 3-2 decision. This time
the soccer team lost to Fair­leigh
Dickinson in Madison.
Once again lack of an offensive
thrust, caused Fairfield to fall
short of victory by only one
goal.
The otl'ense was minus Chip
Mount, the frosh who scored
both loals for the Stags in their
opening game. Jack Monahan,
last year's leading scorer seem­ed
to regain his excellent form.
