The Student Senate in its
February 4 session condemned
the vote at the last faculty
meeting to raise Philosophy to
9 eredlts and backed President
Mariani and his successor in
"whatever steps are necessary
to reduce the lotal to 6." The
resolution. Introduced by Mi­nority
Leader Kevin McAuliffe,
acting as emergency Majority
Leader, passed with only OI1e
dissent and was the most con­troversial
business the Senate
handled in its last two sessions.
Close behind was President
Mariani't February 4 veto o~
Donald DeFronzo's bill requi....
ing him to supply a detailed
budget to the Appropriations
Committee. It was sustained
with Mr. DeFrenze putting on
record Chairman Peter Lenn­en's
statement that his Govern­mental
Operations Committee
will get such a budget shortly.
Preliminary nominations for
Tripartite were also named;
they will be interviewed by Mr.
Lennon's committee before the
next meeting.
On January 15, a short meet·
ing held on shor tnotice pro­voked
some short tempers.
Some legislators deelined to an­swer
roll call, and a quorum at
first failed, most commuting
students were unaware of the
meeting. Besides Mr. DeFron·
zo's budget bill, appropriations
were granted to the Class of
1973, Frontiers, and the Film
Society.

Philosophy Vote

On Tuesday afternoon. Feb­ruary
3, a general faculty meet­ing
was held in the Oak Room.
During the more than an hour
and a half session three mo­tions
were passed. For the first
time a Stag reporter was in at­tendance.
'The first issue was a motion
to reopen discussion on the new
Philosophy requirement, which
had been set at six semester
credits. Dr. Grossman, spokes­man
for the Philosophy depart·
ment, said that the requirement
had been set without adequate
discussion. The matter was re­opened.
Dr. Grossman motioned that
the philosophy requirement be
dropped from fifteen semester
credits to nine rather than all
the way to six credits. He stat·
ed that the Philosophy Depart­ment
felt that the change to six
credits was too abrupt, though
a change to six credits might
take place eventually. Backing
him were Father McIntyre who
pointed out that students start
Philosophy for the first time in
college, making it impossible to
teach them the discipline In six
credits, and Dr. Johnson who
brought up two points; that the

black affairs. I have communi­cated
this idea to the black com­munity
and they are consider·
ing it. I think the communica­tion
gap has to be resolved. As
Dennis mentioned, there are in­dividual
white students and in­dividual
black students who
have obviously developed a sort
of rapport, but the black com
munlty Is alienated. The five
year students almost per force
feel alienated. They're different
than the other four-year stu·
dents and because their classes
aren't the same they are harder
to get along with. There has to
be a concerted effort by both
parties, and especially the white
people, to make contact with
the members of the 5 year pro­gram
and all black students on
campus, We have to llsten to
what they say.
Mr, Glynn: The principal
thing I have against the take­over
which the blacks pe,..
formed on Nov. 21 was once
again the use of violence, the
use of an immoral technique to
get something. There isn't much
idealism involved in this. Per­haps
their ends were idealistic
ends, but they didn't give
enough time for anything to be
done correctly with these de­mands.
They apparently did not
seem to care what they were
doing to the rest of the student
body, They did not seem to care
what they were doing to race
relations on the campus. Most
of the people on campus, being
white, before that time fell
that HI don't have anything
against Negroes. I may not do
too much for them, but they're
just like me, except they hang
around with their kind and I
hang with my kind." They be­lieved
It to be an elementary
soclalogical trait.
After the take-over many pe0­ple
began to become quite In­ceonsed,
and justly so, be­cause
they were stepping on lhe
rights of 600 or 800 people, per­haps
almost the entire student
btxly, at that time, and weren't
apologizing for the fact, were
not saying that "We tried every
other avenue that was avail­able."
They just went right
ahead and did it_
The demands themselves
were probably a IiItie redlcu­low,
I think, beyOl!d the realm
of possibility, It's a good bar­gaining
technique, so I wouldn't
atack the demands specifically.
It's a good way to get what
you need to have,
The future will be no differ­ent
than the future in the rest

day, I was informed that they
had taken over the building and
I was in Mr, Krell's office by
4 :00. I felt during the entire
course of the day that the tri­partite
board had come to an
understanding of the gravity of
the problem but that the entire
student body and most of the
administrators had not. Sitting
in a room with 35 people talk­ing
over black problems - 35
white people, while 17 black
men were up in Xavier jwt
struck me as absurd
There is bad communication
between the black and white
communities on this campus,
If there Is any, It Is on an In­dividual
basis. One white man to
one black man. This Is a real
problem. There are no blat'k
people in the legislature or on
Student Govt. committees, There
is no black man on the execu­tive
board. I think it is neces­sary
to get the blacks into the
community, to give them a
voice In it. How to do this Is
to approach them as a com­munity
and as individuals, And
it is going to be the responsi­bility
of the pres, to do this,
They don't want to talk with a
second man. They want to talk
with the power. They don't
want to talk with a delega ted
authority, they want to talk with
the people and the power and
I wil do that, I think it's neces­sary
that whoever gets elected
president does it. We're going
to have more blacks on cam­pus
next year and In subsequent
years, and if things polarize In
a community where there are
a number of Black people and
force is used and violence
breaks out there's going to be
one hell of a hassle, and its a
very real possibility, OrK! that
has to be stopped by communi­cation
at a high level.
Mr. Donner: We saw some­thing
very important with the
Xavier takeover. We saw the
frustrated black community
assert themselves finally, saying
to the entire campw "We are
here and will you show US some
goals. I did not go along with
that they achieved most of their
recognition." I was gtatifled
their all black dormitory, But
in effect any student can choose
where he lives. As far as
effects go it was one of the best
things to happen on this campus
only if it wlli serve to bring
more black people on this cam­pus.
I think we need that and
the white students have to be
educated to the black students.
In hopes of achieving this I am

means you have to have no
avenue of communlcations left
open.
1\11', Dormer, r think two very
important things happened at
the strike. As Dennis said, It
was a very complex issue. The
first of these was that a prece­dent
of power was set which is
very Important and up to this
time hadn't been employed in
the University, and the second
Is that the Administration was
able to buy oft the Student Gov­ernment
and the students with
the bread-and-eircuses policy.
Now, I did not favor this. I felt
that the situation had possibly
become too embroiled by that
time. There were mistakes
made, ~nnis mentioned that
we didn't contact the off-campus
sludents, one very important
one, but we also didn't contact
the faculty - we had to play
a catch-up game after the Tues­day
night meeting in informing
the faculty what had happened.
The faculty was very disturbed
by this. In fact, the faculty had
their own gripes. Faculty sup­port
would have lent impetus
to the whole Idea_ The idea of
a strike was presented to thc
sutdents and I feel it should
have been carried out, since we
had an the issues set up and
we were only given a compro­mise.
Unfortunately It wasn t
done, It served to alienate a
very large, sizeable group of
activist students and lead maJ"V
students to question the verac:­ty
and Integrity of the Student
Government.

I'll'. Galngher: The takeover
was an act which certainly
shocked the greater part of
the student body at Fairfield.
They had known for a long
time that things were not good
between blacks and whites on
campus, The blacks felt that
they were put down, that they
had been promised man y
things, and they feel this way
with good cause.

there were threats of violence,
explosions and such. I don't
think the issues were worth
chancing this to get any more
than was fatten, It's just the
morality of lying that I ques­tion.
1\1.1'. Gallagher, The entire si­tuation
was highly complex, a
very difficult one for any per­son
to handle. The fact that the
decision was made to leave it
up to the student body I think
was a good decision, and then
to avoid allowing time for com­muting
students and off-eampus
boarders to get to campus to
participate in this decision I
think was a bad one. If we had
decided - and we had decided
as a government - on the
.<:trike technique we should have
been very cognizant that it
would not work without the
support of the entire student
body or a good percentage of
it Now, because thl"1':f' refonns
were basically social on-campus
reform there was good reason
to believe the off-eampus board­ers
and commuters, unless
talked with In number and
made aware that it was much
more than social on-campus re­fonns
we were after, would not
have participated in a strike
and that it would have been a
failure. In tenns of the Thurs­day
night meeting, putting the
question "Strike now or Com­promise
now" I think was a mis­take.
I voted against the com­promise
that night both In the
legislature and at the mass
ln~ting in hopes that if we
did call a strike negotiations
could be reopened Saturday and
Sunday; that the strike could
become a one day thing, which
I believe should have been
done at that time; and that It
could be put before the entire
student body that It would be a
nne day boycott with negotia­tions
reopened by a force or
group of people going between
the students and the admbustra­tion.
The question of using the
crmpromise as a tactic, present­ing
it to a faculty meeting and
not really meaning It, I ques­tion
it. Whether this was the
i"Csponsibility of the Vice­Pr('.~
jdent, as some claIm, or it
was of the President. as others

use It ultimate'y was In the

Question 1. If )'OU had been
Pres.ldent of the Shldent GO\'­ernrnent
during last spring's
crisis, how would :rOCl ban
bandktl It difl"en:ntly!
Mr, Glynn, First of all, grant
that the entire disruption, the
entln: situation of last spring,
was not caused by or the re­sponsibility
of the Student Gov­ernment
- especially the Execu­tive
Boa'1:l-and that once it had
occurred it was up to the Presi­dent
to do the best he could with
it. I think that the primary re­sponsibiliy
of any person, es­pecially
an elected otflcer, the
head of a group of people, Is to
base his decisions on principles
Instead of on practicalities to
be completely above the board
in everything he does. I don't
think Albert was, I think he's
a very good polltlcl.an but I
think he was using people,
using 800 people all at once,
even if he is apparently doing it
for their benefit and probably
was doing It for their benefit.
In the long run it's a bad pre­cedent
to set and It could very
well undermine the faith the
students have in themselves

to undermine what idealism
does exist. The compromise it­self

Mr. Glynn: I think I'll wave
a magic wand and get them all
done. I think that 9 credits of
Philosophy are necessary, so I
have to disagree with the Stu­dent
Legislature. I think we
need 3 credits in Logic, 3
credits in a summary of West·
ern Philosophy, and 3 credits
in Ethics, We might need them
with different teachers than the
ones we have now, but I think
that it's important and all that
should be crammed into fresh­man
year, so that people would
no longer have to suffer
through Philosophy and worry
about who they were getting.
Care should be taken to insure
that the teachers that are
teaching It are good teachers
and not hot heads. So I would
have to agree with the 9
credits of Philosophy. Neverthe­less,
much academic refonn is
needed. I would not want to see
an attempt to get it made
through confrontation on
threats or a show of student
power, 1600 studen:s marching
around Bellannine. I don't think
that that's reasonable, I imagine
that you just have to appeal to
the apparent intellect of the
faculty. Present an intelligent
case of why you believe cer­tain
academic requirements
should exist and discuss them
with them, apparently in tri­partite.
Also, hope that the Ad­ministration
would agree with
what you thought, U you could
not get any agreem(lnt this way,
progress would not be made too
well, I don't think that anyone
could say with confidence that
the students' particular point
of view, which may be mostly
generated by poor teachers in
one department or teachers who
don't seem to grade well, is
necessarily the correct view.
Because everyone in the school
is supposed to be able to think,
I wou!d just meet it on a dis­cussions
bassis and not with
force.
1I1r. Galla«her: It is signi
f1cant to me that at that same
meeting the faculty refused a
motion on the part of Fr. Mc­Intyre
to discuss the direction
of the University. They are di­vided.
They are not sure of
where we are going in the aca­demic
sphere. Yet they are up­ping
Philosophy. Why? I don't
think that they really know.
There is a need now for a
definition of where we are going,
I agree with the drop in credits
to 6. I tend to believe that
Philosophy should not be taught
to Fn!shmen outside of a course
in Logic. Often the people that
instruct Freshmen are not the
best of professors. They are the
people who give straight lec­tures.
most of them. It's very
difficult for people to come Into
Philosophy, It is the one course
that you don't have in high
school.
As far as achieving reforms in
the academic sphere, lout­lined
in my paper on academics
that it was necessary to estab­lish
a tri-partite board that
would deal with academic re­fonn,
I think that it is neces­sary
to improve student-faculty
relationships, I think all depart·
ments should fol!ow the History
Department. They have recog­nized
the need to get students
into their departments, to talk
with students and to let stu­dents
have a say in the direction
of the university in the academ­ic
realm. I think that this is a
great necessity.
If any academic issue would
become so tight on the part of
the student body that they felt,
as a whole, that it is necessary
to have this refonn, whatever it
may be, then certainly, if we
are willing to go into this area
in a social reform. we would
have to be willing to take a
stand in an academic sphere,
Hopefully through the tri-par­tite
and other areas like stu­dent-
faculty relations, this will
not occur.
The university is in a state of
flux. Nobody wants to define
where we are going, and we
have to. Once we do we should
revise the entire curriculum to
meet that definition. If it is to
be a progressive one then we
should look to other Universi­ties.
Be Imitators if it is
necessary to be imitators.
There is nothing so wrong
from taking good ideas from
institutions that have been suc­cessful,
and I don't believe that
the slogan "We are innovators,
not imitators," will change
that. Let's look around to good
institutions that are educating
0::10<1 student:a, aettln&: them into
graduate schools, producing
leaders, things that Fairfield is
not doing. This is reflected in
n:>turnes we get from alumni.
We need a new direction in
academics and we had better
find it fast.
Mr. Dormer: I supported the
6 credit reduction, I spoke with
members of the philosophy de­partment
who felt that such
a reduction would ultimately de­stroy
the department. Now the
Student Senate has passed this
resolution to try to do anything
in their power. to get it reduced
to 6 agaln. I hate to admit it,
but I think that they are going
to be running up against a
brick wall. The philosophy de­partment
promised, for what in
worth, that next year they
would reconsider the issues,
possibly they would then low­er
it to 6, but they needed a
year's time in which to absorb
the great reduction in the
amount of credits and students
that they would be teaching.
The most unfortunate part of
an immediate reduction to six
would be the loss of the teach­ers
who were hired this year,
who happen to be the better
teachers, at leasl according to
student opinion, in the Philoso­phy
department.
As Dennis mentioned, we need
a new direction. I spoke re­emUy
with Mr. O'Cormar and
asked him what direction it
was taking, He sald, "Well, the
Curriculum Committee knew."
How is the Curriculum Com­mittee
acting? 'They are acting
on feed back from the student
body." There is no direct stu­dent
and faculty link. What I
would like to see is a student­faculty
committee for curricu­lum
change. I think this 15
quite necessary and can be done.
With student and faCUlty sup­port
it can be prescnted to the
faculty for a vote. The faculty,
as Mr. O'Connor interprets it,
will be reluctant to do this.
Another aspect in this area is
Dr. Salafta's proposal to in­stitute
a Faculty Senate, made
up of one member from each
department. Each member
would have a vote proportion·
ate to the number of people in
his department. If this is real­ized
It will enhance student­faculty
relations on this level.
It I am elected, I hope to do
something of this sort wlth the
curriculum committee, a bi­partite
curriculum (.'Ommitee.
FINAL STATEMENTS
Mr, Donner: The main thrust
of my campaign, indeed the
main Issue, is an academic
issue, at this time. For this
reason I have labored and re­searched
in this area with pro­portionate
concern. Unfortun­ately
the equipment does not
exist on this campus for effec­tive
student influence and ex­pression
in a leglslatlve capaci­ty.
It 15 first on the list of my
priorities to establish a list of
student and faculty who would
be involved in curriculum
change and who would jointly
draw up any revision of cur­riculum
change.
The social life has been little
discussed at this meeting. I feel
that there are several avenues
for social expression here. We
now have the equlpment - the
palietals and alcohol. It is now
up to the student'S initiative and
imagination. But there has to
be some way for him to effect
it. In other words, the Govern­ment
should supply funds for
something such as a donn party.
Or if a group of students want­ed
to put on a play, poetry
reading, or anything, students
could receive funds from the
Student Government. I also in­tend
to expand the cultural life
here on this campus. There is
a cultural calendar which comes
once a month with between 40
to 50 events listed for that
month. The Student Govern­ment
should make the students
aware of these events and glvc
them ample means of trans·
portation to those events. B.:!­yond
this, I think we should
look to long·range goals, not
only in curriculum but also in
social life. As one educator said
to me over the past break,
"Look beyond 10 years, Look
to the 15 years ahead when
there will be no 4-year colleges,"
I think the faculty and adminis­tration
must be planning for
that time also.
Mr, Glyna: The thrust of
what I am trying to do is not
so visionary as 15 years. It is
simply that I want the scope of
the government toned down. I
don't want the Government to
become pragmatic. I don't want
the government to become all­powerful.
I don't want it to be­come
paternalistic in the sense
that the administration once
was, in framing huge sets of
rules, in saying "Here we have
organizations X, Y, Z. It you
want anything done you go to
X, and X will do it." It you
want to find out where the
closest gas station is you don't
go to the gas station committee
to find out. I want to promote
brotherhood at the school where
everyone will help each other
as much as they can, where you
can depend upon, hopefully,
anyone else that you need, The
government should exist as the
representation of the students
to the Administration and the
faculty. The Judicial branch
will exist to settle disputes be­tween
students, Outside of that
I don't think the government
needs to be strengthened. I am
looking for a single government
and individual contact between
people,
Mr. Gallagher: I have to get
back to tri-partite as a sum.

community. I think that if we
arc going to sit down and limit
the discussion of academics be­tween
students and faculty then
they are going to sit down to
discuss other things when the
students are cut ott', They are
going to want to say some­thing,
Say that it is finance.
The administration and faculty
are going to sit down and talk
about faculty salaries because
the administration is paying
them and the faculty is receiving
them. Well. the students might
want to talk about it too, be
cause they are in reality going
to have to pay them. They
might be cut out, because they
are attempting to cut out people
in other areas. In tenns of
achieving things, I think that I
have the experience and know­ledge
to work within the gov_
ernment, to deal not just with
academics but with finance, to
deal with the legislature, I was
in the legislature. To deal with
the court; I am on the Judicial
Review board.
I think I know the machinery
of government here. I think I
know where to go get problems
solved. The expansion of tri·
partite and making tri-partite
binding would be the top priori­ties
in my administration be­cause
I think everything follows
from governance. Things are
made by decision-making
bcN:lies, Let's establish the de·
cislon-making bodies and work
from there, U academics are
decided by the Core Curriculwn
Committee of by the Academic
Council, then while they are de­cided
in that area we will work
in that area, But in the mean­time
let's try to get a tri-partite
discussion in academics. Let's
establish that. Let's get student,
faculty, and administration par_
ticipation in all fields. Let's
work as a community.

Dr. William Solane Coffin, Jr.,
university chaplain and pastor
of the Church of Christ at Yale,
will deliver the BelJarmine Lec­ture
at Fairrleld University's
Campus Center on February 17
at 8 o'clock.
Dr. Coffin, who has gained
national attention for his active
stand on social and political
issues, will present his views on
violence and non-violence in
our society.
As with all Bellarmine pro­grams
.the public is invited to
attend without charge and to
join in the question and answer
period that will follow the form·
al presentation.
for full and partial scholarships,
it was also pointed out that
four special Presidential Schol­arships
were awarded to aid
outstanding students on a na­tional
scale.
With added emphasis being
placed on financial assistance,
the top pr)ority area has been
the need to provide means Cor
minorities and the disadvantag­ed
to be given the opportwlities
of higher education.
A major step in this direction
has been the establishment by
the university of a five-year
compensatory program geared
to students with college apti­tudes
and formalized education­al
backgrounds who are strap­ped
with severe financial re­quirements.
Between assistance from the
university, Educational Oppor­tunity
Grants and the student's
willingness to participate in the
work-study program, the costs
of a college education can be
realized over the five-year span
of specially paced courses.
One of the school's most out­standing
projects is the Fair­field
University Recreational
Study Techniques Camp
(FURST), which helps prepare
boys from the greater Bridge­port
area for college and then
offers them full scholarships to
the university upon completion
of a five year program. Approx­imately
125 boys were enrolled
In the five phases of the pro­gram
to receive remedial train­ing
and 18 are now eligible for
fuJl.scholarships should they
meet minimum entrance re­quirements
and decide to attend
Fairfield.
Rev. William C. McInnes,
S.J., president, has expressed
his pleasure in the success of
the university's current p~
grams and is vigorously pursu­ing
new means of broadening
the institution's scope of finan­cial
assistance.
What with Fairfield Univer­sity
Scholarships, Educational
Opportunity Grants, National
Defense Loans, the Work_
Study Program, Presidential
Scholarships, and a handful of
other special programs, the uni­versity
feels it is well on its
way to including more segments
of society in the college experi­ence
and enriching its own fu­ture
in the process.

A recent survey indicated
that a record amount of finan­c:
al aid has been given to morc
undergraduates at Fairfield Uni­versity
than ever before, ac­cording
to C. Donald Cook, di­rector
of the university's oJIiee
of placement and financial as­sistance.
According to Cook, "approxi­mately
30 percent of our 1,831
undergraduates are re<:eiving
some kind of financial assist­ance
this year. A total of some
S667,500 is being awarded this
year, an increase of $90,000
over last year's allotment."
Cook went on to point out
that the university itself Is di­rectly
responsible for carrying
the burden of a quarter of a
million dollars of the total fin­ancial
aid figure. Some $225,800
is included in Fairfield Univer­sity
Scho!arships while the in­stitution
adds almost another
$20,000 in conjunction with the
federal government's Work­Study
program, which accounts
for another $80,000.
William Lucas, assistant di­rector
of financial aid at the
university, added that area stu·
dents have especially benefited
from the university's stepped
up financial aid program.
"This year 11 students from
as many area high schools were
awarded Headmaster-Principal
Scholarships, which are granted
annually by the university to
develop aid in the development
of outstanding talent from the
immediate area. Similar fuJI
four - year Prep Presidential
Scholarships are available to
outstanding students from Fair­field
College Preparatory School
who choose to attend the uni­versity."

monetary assistance

The increase in both tuition and room and board Is
made necessary by increasing costs, the lack of reserve
funds on which to draw, and the anticipated rise in ex­penditures
during the coming year. Private education every­where
is facing serious economic threats. It is our expcc~­tion
that Fairfield University can meet the challenge of In­creasing
costs successfully. It is n~sary to c~lI upon .all
members of the academic communIty to recogmze the Im­portance
of eontrol of expenses during the coming year.
Complicating the 'rise in student charges is the dlJIicult
outiook for conlinued Government loans and grants to !';I­dents.
It appears at Ihis time that the Federal Government
will not be increasing its aid to students. We will make
every elTort, therefore, to try to case the burden on students
faced with an increase in the cost of their education. The
Director of Financial Aid has been notified that any special
assistance he can provide for the student caught in a finan·
clal squeezer should be given.

Wide Appeal
The program is especially
chosen to appeal to all musical
tastes. For the classical music
lover, there is Tchaikovsky's
"One Who Has Yearn'd Alone."
There is the rhythm of "Songs
of Rodgers and Hart." For those
who like show tunes, the Club
offers a close harmony version
oC "People," or a medley from
"Fiddler on the Roof." The pro­gram
is also highlighted by the
mwical comedy of the Campus
Minstrels, and the "old-time"
barbershop quartet, the Ben­senians.
There's even a "word
from our sponsor."
The Molloy College Glee Club
is directed by Mr. Paul O. La­Medica,
and accompanied by
Mr. Evan Wood. Alternating
with the Men in Red, the all­female
Molloy will present such
selections as "Mwetta's Waltz
Song" and "God's Bottles," b:lth
by Randall Thompson, a Medley
of Popular Selections, arranged
by their own director, and the
perennial favorite, Taylor's
"Waters Ripple and Flow."
The Fairfield University Glee
Club is the oldest and most
renowned club on campus. It
was founded in 1947 by the
Rev. John P. Murray, S.J., and
Mr. Simon B. Harak, who re­main
its moderator and director
today.
for its "excellent singing vocal­ly,
full of effectiveness, espe­cially
in the modern choral style
of emphatic sudden rhythms
and accents, extremes of dyna­mics,
and a new legato that Is
halfway between vocalize and
hum." The same Club, two
years ago, brought more than
24,000 school children to their
feet in wild ovations at twelve
interested students exceeds 120
the coordinating committee for
these trips added another work
area in Bridgeport.
But a slight problem arose
as to who gets the opportunity
to work in Appalachia. The s0­lution
for the problem was de­cided
to be a lottery. At the
general meeting each student
filled out a card and chose be­tween
Kentucky, North Car0­lina
or Bridgeport. If they
chose either I}entucky or
North Carolina they could also
select Bridgeport as an altern­ate.
No other combinations were
permitted. All those who select­ed
either Kentucky or North
Carolina will be placed in sep­arate
cylinders and approxi­mately
forty cards will be
picked at random from each.
Since those who spent last
Easter in Appalachia have first
preference (this excludes about
twenty students) the number of
cards picked from each cylinder
will be between thirty and forty.
All remaining cards which listed
Bridgeport as an alternate will
be added to the Bridgeport
trip. There were approximately
sixty cards for Kentucky and
sixty for North Car.olina. Upon
comp!etion of the lottery every
student will have the opportuni­ty
to work in one of the three
locations.
In all about 120 Fairfield stu­dents
will take part in this
Easter Volunteer program. They
arc setting aside their own per­sonal
vacation to offer service
to the needy of Apalachia and
Bridgeport .They will have defi­nite
regulations to follow. (cur­few,
no drinking or dating) This
alone portrays their solid in­terest
in such an undertaking.
They will give all which is
possible but they will receive
much more.

Mississippi Outbreaks
Re-Route Easter Trip
By l\IlKE FARUEL
During the upcoming Easter
vacation students from Fairfield
University will venture to three
distant geographical locations
in an attempt to serve others
of ditIerent culture and environ­ment.
The three localities:
Vanceburg, Kentucky; Murphy,
North Carolina; and Bridgeport.
Connecticut. These trips are
being sponsored by the Knights
of Columbus (Connecticut State
Council and Ignation Council
4203 of Fairfield University and
coordinated by the Glenmary
Home Missionary under the di­rection
of Brother AI Behm.
On Wednesday, February 4,
a general meeting for those stu­dents
interested in participating
in these trips was held In the
Oak Room of the Campus Cen­ter
previously the centers of
operations for Easter vacation
were only Mississippi and Ken­tucky.
However Brother Be:m
received a letter from an as­sociate
in MisissipJ:i advising
our group from Fairfield to
choose another location of work
because of the recent turmoil
in the area.
Brother AI was informed that
the building which was to have
been the center of Fairfield's
operations was burnt down last
week due 10 the current school
integration conflicts in Mississi­ppi.
All concerned clements have
agreed that outside forces could
seriously incrc.ase problems and
IXlSsibly endanger the well·
bcin:; of the outside volunteers.
ThercCore the Mississippi trip
was replaced by a project in
Murphy, North Carolina. About
forly students will travel to this
new site while forty more will
journey to last year's opera­tion
in Vanceburg, Kentucky.

This is recognized by the
United States, which has a con­tingency

According to Mr, Elston's
view, the native population does
not sUPiXlrt either the Thic:u
regime or the Viet Cong. But
the latter group are at least
Vietnamese, while the former
constitute "the old French col­onial
crowd. . an aristo.
cratic and hierarchic society"
antithetical to lhe Vietnamese
Ideal of the mandarin 6cholar­soldier.
"The North Vietnamese lead­ership
eonsists of mandarins
like Ho Chi Minh, Tran Van
Dong and General Giap, who,
I guess, would be the classic
example." The Vietnamese, be
concluded, revere age and schol­arly
achievement, an attitude
which permits a limited social
mobility.
Mr. Elston then spoke briefly
on the plight of South Vietnam's
Catholic Church, which is
"afraid of the future, and of
possible large-scale massacres."
"They (the Catholics) have
made the mistake of relying on
foreign protection . . . U the
Roman Catholic Church Is to
have a future in Vietnam, it
must stand on its own two feet,
which includes the repudiation
of foreign support, especially
foreign military support."
In the question and answer
period that follawed, Mr, Elston
relied heavily on his fourth
withdrawal alternative. Ques­tioned
on the possible difflculty
of establishing a viable govern­ment
while the U.S. maintained
its presence, :Mr. Elston replied
emphasizing the protectionist
role the U.s. might play while
a broadly based government Is
established. "A broadly based
goverrunent of national union is
a good word to the Viet­namese."
Fr. Breshnahan then urged
that "a greater eeumenlsm" be
employed, especially in the
Church, "so as to Include Marx­ists"
and other advocates of
divergent views.
The speaker drew an admir­ing
response from the audience.
Dr. Joseph Boggio of the Chem­istry
Department said he
thought the lecture was "very
informative, not being an his­torian
myself, or a political
analyst. I wish more people
could have been here to par­take
of It." Tim Grace '73 said
Mr. Elston "delves through the
war with an overwhelming
amount of knowledge on the
subject," After the lecture, this
student described himself as
"concerned, troubled, and unin­fonned"

"The demand for uncondi­tional
withdrawal (by the Viet

the President's Viet­namization

U.S. withdrawal on the success
of the Paris negotiations and/or
efforts by the South Vietnamese

Fine Arts are required under
the new currkulum. Under the
old curriculum, 4 semesters of
English and 2 semesters of Fine
Arts were required.
Area V, the last area of
study, deals with Foreign Lan­guage.
Previously, 4 semesters
of a language with advanced
competency was required. The
curriculum committee recom­mended
2 semesters of Foreign
Language with Intennedlate
competency as a requirement
under the new core curriculum.
QuaJUlcatlons for Degree
To qualify for a BA or BS
degree, a student is required
to complete 40 courses of study.
Twenty courses are devoted to
the new core curriculum with
the remaining courses being di­vided
between the General Ed­ucation
Electives and the stu­dent's
major area of study.
Dr. William J. Garrity, Chair­man
of the Undergraduate Cur­riculum
Committee, has stated
that the new core curriculum
will probably be implemented
in the fall semester, 1970.
Although a majority of the
new curriculum has been ap­proved
by the faculty there are
a few remaining sections which
(Continued on Page 10)
THE STAG
be required to complete 2 se­mesters
of a Natural Science
and 2 semesters of Mathema­tics.
One semester of logic may
be taken in place of one semes.­ter
of mathematics. The former
curriculum made no allowance
for the substitution of a seme&­leI'
of logic in place of a COUl'6e
In mathematics.
Area II of the core curricul­um
is concerned with History
and Social Science. No revisions
were made in this area, the re­quirements
for 2 semesters of
History and 2 semesters of's\>
cial Science remaining un­changed.
Area III of the new curricul­um
deals with studies in phil­osophy
and theology, Of the
entire core curriculum, this
area has probably caused the
most concern among members
of the student body. The new
requirements are for 3 semes­ters
of philosophy and 2 semes­ters
of religious studies. The
previous curriculum required 5
semesters of philosophy and 4
semesters of theology.
Area IV of the new core cur­riculum
includes Literature and
Fine Arts. One semester of Eng­lish

of English and 2 semesters of
"Ho Chi Minh pleaded in vain
for live years for Soviet sup­port.
Communist conspiracy!
Not a shade of it! The first gov­ernment
to recognize Ho's new
government was that of Chiang
Kal-shek," and this after Chiang
was forced to retreat to Tai­wan.
It was then, Mr. Elston
pointed out, that Ho's revolu­tionary
regime was reeogn1zed
by Stalin - not SO much in sup­port
for Ho - but in fear of
Red Clinese power.
"The OIinese-Russian con-­frontatlon
is much older than
you would think from reading
the newspapers. We knew by
then that It was a mistake, (to
recognize the French anti-com­munlst
government.) But un­fortunately,
anti - communism
had by then taken hold in the
United States."
The third pi-e·aupposltlon at­tacked
by l'f.r. Elaton Is the be·
lief that "security lD the world
is to be achIeved primarily by
military force'"
"This was easy to think after
World War II. But surely the
Congo, Vietnam and Biafra
have demonstrated the useless­ness
and Irrelevance of such
power."
"The measurements we know
how to make in Vietnam have
no application to the situation
. . . We physically control
two.thirds of the population, but
what good is It to control a
people by force when you are
supposed to be liberating them
and they hate your guts."
Having thus dealt with the
premises for involvement, Mr.
Elston proceeded to outline tour
solutions based on the reason­ing
behind his refutations:
1. The United States could
leave Vietnam as De Gaulle left
Algeria, leaving the conflicting
sides to settle their own dis­putes,
"There Isn't a Vietna-
Citizens
Concern
Asian policy from such a nar­row
perspective has been fur­ther
complicated, according to
Mr. Elston, by the false pre­suppositions
upon which Amer­ican
policy is built.
The ant of these, be pointed
out, is that "the United States
shoUld work to create atabwty
lD the world."
While granting that the poliey
was probably formulated "with
very good intentions," the
speaker scored the folly of sta~
Uity in a state which cannot
ensure the rights of its citizens:
''TIle United States should have
stood for justice and freedom,
for stability means nothing
without these."
He dted the re-armament of
Japanese prisoners-of-war in
Vietnam, by the United States,
as a counter-insurgency meas­ure,
pending the re-establish~
ment of French colonial eon­trol:
"Our assistance is the kiss
of death in any post-colonlal
situation. To compound this,
irony, we abandoned Ho Chi
Minh, our ally during the war
with Japan ... Ho Chi Minh,
who phrased the Vietnamese
Declaration of Independence
along Jefferson's lines. This led
to (General Douglas) MacAr­thur's
famous description of our
shift in poicly as 'an Ignobll;l
betrayal,' (Ho) was our friend,
one of our great friends In
Asia."
The seoond false asswnptlOD,
according to Mr. Elston, ~ that
the VnJted States must act to
eontaln tbe expansion of com·
munlBm.
To begin with, Dr. George
Kennan, who formulated the
policy of containment, had Eu­rope
in mind, and not Asia. The
error was made, according to
Mr. Elston, in assigning to Asia
the monolithic communist c0n­spiracy
which Kennan saw only
in Europe:

February It, 1970
At a time when President
Nixon's plan for gradual dis­engagement
has diminished the
controversy over the Vietnam
question, Mr. Gerhard Elston of
the National Council of
QlUrches has a fresh persepc­tive
to offer. Speaking to a large
group of students in the Oak
Room last Tuesday, he offered
four withdrawal alternatives
which he said were focused on
the weUa.re of the Vietnamese
people.
The NYU scholar and Asian
affairs veteran divided his one
and a half hour lecture into
four parts: his own perspective
on Vietnam, after various trips
to that war-torn nation and to
Paris, the "false presupposi­tions"
upon which post-World
War II policy has been based,
an outline of four ways Ameri­can
troops could make a justi­fiable
exit from Vietnam, and
finally, a discussion of the plight
of the Catholic Church in South
Vietnam.
Mr. Elston, the Director of
Vietnam Affairs for the NaUon­al
Council of Churches, was the
guest of the Phi Kappa Theta
Fraternity, which annually pre­sents
a renowned speaker at Its
John Courtney Murray Lecture
series. Approximately a hun­dred
fitudents, and a sprinkling
of faculty members, attended,
among these the Rev. James
Breshnahan, S.J., outspoken o~
ponent of U.S. Vietnam policy.
The speaker's perspective
challenged pop u I a I' notions
aoout the war: "Nothing in Viet­nam
Is the way it seems to
the casual observer, for more
than just two sides are batUlng
each other; the military and
political picture is much more
complicated than that." And
yet, he insisted, American
policy has been based on just
such simplistic, dual notions. AI>
a result, it has led inevitably
to failure:
"It makes the whole matter
seem like a Greek drama in the
tragic sense. The events have
taken place with almost awe­some
predictability; ... (and)
there is no solution, like a
Greek tragedy."
''We have not yet reassessed
at all the pre-suppositlon upon
which we entered Into Viet­nam,"
He said that the ap­proach
of the State Department
had so limited U.S. options as
to make It appear that we
could not get out of Vietnam
"without seeming to have
failed,"
"Please remember that every
nation in the world has been
beaten in a war . . . Other
nations don't like defeat either,
but they know how to cope with
it. "
Mr. Elston insisted that the
focus of his perspective Is upon
the welfare of the Vietnamese
people, "of which the majority
are non-communist as well as
anti- (South Vietnamese) gov­ernment,"
a characteristic ap­parently
lacking in both advo.
cates and dissenters In the U.S.
These, he said, show "ignorance
of the Vietnamese's views," and
wish "decisions to be made ...
with an eye to the American
domestic scene."

Dear Fr. McInnes:
I find it hard to believe that you can
actually live In good conscience with
yourself after granting amnesty to those
17 individuals who seized Xavier Hall
on Nov. 21st. Your replies seem to serve
more as an apology fOr their illegal ac­tion
than as a responsible punitive re­taliation
for such a grave act. Perhaps,
you are trying to convince yourself that
your "action" was justified.
I have always been proud to be a
graduate of Fairfield because students
have always been treated as men. How­ever,
It seems quite evident that you
lack the backbone necessary to punish
these individuals for infringing on the
rights of the men of the Fairfield com­munity.
Rest assured that all Fairfield w"ll re­ceive
from me throughout the remalnd~r
of your tenure are my prayers that It
can service from within and that any
progress it has made in the past will
not be negated by your feeble attempts
to justify your non-action.

groups have begun to work on
projects to participate in this event or
other environmenW activities.
In case you have not heard of the
April 22 proposal I shall explain briefly.
On April 22 it Is hoped that nationwide
attention will be focused upon the en­viraunental
crisis by hundreds of iJI..
dividual projects organized and run by
students in their schools and communi­ties
across the country. Each student
group is being urged to use its own
talent, imagination, and resources to de-­velop
projects of any kind it thinks moot
fitting whether it be "teach-ins," demon­strations,
publicity campaigns, anything
at all tending to stimulate awareness
and discussion of environmental prob­lems
and, hopefully, impetus towards
solution. It will be a great opportunity
for concerned students and citizens to
make a constructive impact on what is
perhaps the most pressing set of prob­lems
we face today.
To assist in the effort to make April
22 a day of success for the environment
in Connecticut we are arranging to prl>
vide a communication and liaisoo facility
so that the many different concerned
groups in the State will have a way to
share ideas and information. We are
definitely not interested in providing any
direction or leadership for individual
groups. We are convinced that the most
meaningfUl resu'ts will be achieved by
the greatest variety and decentraliza·
tion of effort. We wish only to make
available an opportunity for cooperation,
a central Information and publicity serv­ice,
and a means of attaining a wider
dissemination of ideas and feedback. For
this purpose we have assemt:led an of·
flce, telephones, and staff as well as the
necessary funds. We hope that groups
Interested In environment will contact
us whether or not they are presently
planning something for Ap~i1 22. We
would like to know what projects or

Dear Sir:
Mr. Patrick Long cornrnJts a not un­common
error in his review of the Irish
play, "A Whistle in the Dark," which
appeared in the December 10th issue of
The Stae. He doesn't know what he is
talking about and he speaks at great
length.
"A Whistle in the Dark" Is a catas­trophe
of a play. Mr. Long not only
fails to understand the play, he falls to
recognize the incompetence of the actors
and the shoddiness of the production.
For example, there are four brothers
and their father, all ostensibly from the
west of Ireland. In this production, there
are five distinctly different accents, the
most prominent of which is east village.
The youngest son dies of a skull fracture
after being hit on the hip by a (na­turally,
It's an Irish play) whiskey bot­tle.
Mr. Long refers to the play as
"typically Irish," a description which
strikes terror into Irish hearts. There is
no scene in the play wherein Irishmen
are not depicted drunk, drinking or dead.
There seems to be no alternative for
these "typical" Irishmen. The father,
described with incredible inaccuracy by
Mr. Long as ". the embodyment
(sic) of the old idea that the best man
Is the one who can fight best," is actual­ly
a coward and a braggart, a praiser
of his own illusory past. If this is not
so, why does he remain at home while
his sons go off to fight? Why does the
playwright take such pains to demon­strate
the father's cowardice? Tom
Murphy, the author, did everything short
of hanging a sign around the actor's
neck, but our man on the aisle still
managed to miss the point How, then,
can any judgment of Mr. Long's con­cerning
this play be credited?
As far as an extra-literary judgment
of my own, let me say that I objected
most violently to the implications of
Murphy's play. What he fails to treat
in the play are the conditions that cause
Irishmen to act as they do when they go
to England to work. Anyone who has
ever seen the sign on English boarding
houses, "No animals, blacks or Irish,"
will understand_ There is no attempt by
the playwright to examine the c0n­descending
contempt with which Iris~
men are treated in England, or to de­scribe
the heart-scalding loneliness of
men tom from their homes and familiar
ways by poverty, doomed to p:'OVlde for
children they'll never raise in a countrY
that spent 800 years failing to unde:-­stand
them. There are few sights sadder
than that of a frustrated Irishman wan­dering
London's deser:ed early morning
streets L" search of an ass and carL I
trust that one day, Mr. Long, you will
be given the privilege of knowing a

Gallagher For President
This year's campaign for the Presidency of the Student Govern­ment
features two candidates who share common attributes. Both.
breaking tradition together, are sophomores. Both campaign for
numerous parallel reforms, with differences between them primarily
in semantics and not in ideology, Both are progressive. Both, in their
own way. deserve the job.
But when we endorse Dennis Gallagher, it is without hesitation.
The reasons are simple. In the past year, reversal of the official re­pression
of the past has begun, but only begun. We are still in the
Stone Age of reform. Mr. Gallagher's experience as Residence Halls
Chairman. dealing with Deans and the Tri-partite on a constant basis,
has associated him intimately with the embryo of reform, the ways
and means of progress, and the long road both have yet to travel. By
contrast, his major opponent's scope is more national and hil ap­proach
is more theoretical - luxuries which, practically speaking,
students here cannot afford yet.
Moreover, a Student Government President needs to be a con·
summate organizer, a wily diplomat, and a skilled tactician within
one personality - in short, a practicing politician. Mr. Gallagher's
program lacks the passon and idealism of his major opponent, but
passion and idealism are often better reserved for poets than for
presidents, to whom realism and the interplay of clashing interests
is first priority.
We wish both of these candidates good fortune, confident we
can work comfortably with either one and that the Student Govern­ment
will continue its era of growth.
AModest Request
Congratulations are in order to the faculty for its meeting of
February 3, where it declined to consider retroactivity on curriculum
reform and raise the level of Philosophy credits to 9. fl
Retroactivity in any form not only would have been a reckless
attempt to institute radical change regardless of the feelings of others,
it would have deprived all those students now in the school of the
mandatory 15 credits in Philosophy and 12 credits in Theology they
presumably came here specifically to take, else they would have gone
somewhere besides Fairfield.
As for the vote itself, it is proof that heady change is not being
bounced into helter~skelter.The Core Curriculum Committee voted 6,
then 9, then 6. Then the Academic Council voted 9. Then the faculty
voted 6. Then the faculty voted 9. All possible options have thus been
explored before final action as insurance against rash, hasty, regret­table
change.
Beyond that, the vote honored the time~honored principle of a
second chance for everyone, and of the several speakers he recogM
nized, Dean Coughlin allowed only one to support 6 credits.
Thirdly, we wish to point out that most of next year's freshmen
will in reality be taking 12 credits of Philosophy. Besides the voted
9, all students choose between Logic and Mathematics. Most B.A.'s
will feel compelled to choose Logic, and as' a result the philosophy
department's original goal of 12 as set down last October has been
well met.
Planned Spontaneity - I
To the Editor:
The next year is going to be vital
period for much needed academic reM
form at Fairfield University. The whole
area of academics should be thoroughly
explored for possible revision especially
in areas like curriculum, pass-fail
courses, tutorials and calendar revision,
In order to have an adequate voice in
this reform the student body must have
a forceful, intelligent leader. I believe
such a man to be Dennis Gallagher, I
endorse his candidacy for Student Gov·
ernment President and urge you to vote
for him on February 17.

To the Editor:
When I entered Fairfield University
in September 1967 we, the student I>:dy,
wore )ackets and ties to classes and
dinner, had to sign-in every night, the
residents on Loyola 2 couldn't mingle in
the hallway after 11 p.m" we couldn't
entertain women in our rooms, and we
couldn't have liquor on campus, This
was Fairfield University in 1967.
Since those days all of the above
regulations have been abolished. Now
we are about to embark on the Student
Government Elections and this is a very
important affair here at Fairfield. Last
year's preSident, Albert Ma-bni, led the
victorious student rights reforms. In my
opinion the student body of this college
owes Mr. Mariani a thank you for he
courageously stood by his principles in
the face of expulsion.
Next week I would hope that another
forceful person wn take over as ?resiM
dent of the Student Government. Such
a person is Dennis Gallagher. It was
Mr, Gallagher, as Residence Hall Qatl'­man,
who was instrumental in the tel'­mination
of the parietal book. The im~
mediate need at Fairfield lies with the
academic reform issue and I since~ely
believe that Dennis Gallagher is the
man best qualified to realize the goals
of his platform.
Sincerely,

Fourthly, to have 6 credits would have meant firing three teach­ers
who were hired last spring. We are glad such brutal action was
not taken, and we applaud The Chairman and The Dean for hiring
those three teachers last spring after philosophy had been reduced
to 6 in committee in anticipation of the bind the faculty would be in
once they had been signed to contracts.
Fifthly, it was a victory for "gradualism," for a temporary sacri­fice.
Contemporary examples of "temporary sacrifice" include the
World War II luxury taxes, which lasted till 1964, and the state of
national emergency President Truman declared in 1950, which still
exists today. Since no machinery or terminal date was put on the 9
credits to make it temporary, we look forward to it lasting at least
so long as our examples.
The Student Senate expressed disapproval of all this in their last
meeting. To them, we say: If God had wanted students to decide
their own academic destiny, would he not have appointed students
to the Core Curriculum Committee? Or to the Academic Council?
But no, God appointed only faculty members to these committees, and
they did not ask for students' opinion. So it is all quite obviously God's
will. Why, then, do the students question it?
In conclusion, we make one modest request of the faculty, at.
though in light of their most recent accomplishment they have, it
seems, done quite enough. We ask them to assemble at their next
meeting and make a formal endorsement of the sixteenth century.

Organizational plans in prep­aration
for the opening of
Fairfield University's School of
Nursing are progressing satis­factonIy
according to r.ursing
Dean Mrs. Elizabeth K. Dolan.
Mrs. Dolan, who has been
working closely with the State
Board of Nursing Examiners
since her apopintment last Oc­tober,
said she hopes to have the
boards' approval to accept
qualified applicants early this
year for a september tenn.
The degree nursing program
was undetaken due to the rising
need for qualifl.ed nurses who
combine the advantages of pr0­fessional
training with a college
education that emphasizes the
arts and sciences.
Dr. John A_ Barone, vice­president
of planning for the
university, had stated earHer
that "we have designed our pro--

gram 10 alleviate the deficiency
for college trained nursing per­sonnel
who are capable of deal­ing
with the Increasingly com­plex
problems of medical care,
community relations, and hos­pital
administration.
Mrs. Dolan, who brings over
20 years of professional ex­perience
to her new position, ex­plained
that "the program here
is being planned in accordance
with the criteria for full ac­creditation
of a professional
nursing progam in Connecticut
and similar criteria for the eval­uation
of bacea1aureate and
higher degree programs of the
National League of Nursing."
Using those guidelines, she
has completed the major por­tion
of her curriculum and facul­ty
requirements and is in the
advanced exploatory stages of
such items as housing, library
facilities and long-range budge­tary
plans.
Immediate plans call for the
admittance of no more than 40
students the year that the pro-­gram
is initiated, and 40 stu­dents
each year thereafter, so
that the full complement of stu­dents
will be 160 less attrition.
Admissions for women enter­Ing
the school will be the same
as for any student entering the
college of arts and sciences ex­cept
that a personal interview
with the dean of nursing will
be required.
In regard to the eurriculum,
Mrs. Dolan felt that "the pro­gram
devised will provide a bal­ance
between liberal arts and
the sciences basic to nursing
and the courses In nursing
which prepare students to fune-tion
as practicioners of nursing
in first-level positions, equipped
without further education to as·
sume a beginning leadership
role.
"In addition, it alms to pre­pare
the graduates to continue
their education In graduate pro­grams

"We've been fortunate
enough to be able to work with
three very excellent hospitals ­Stamford
Hospital, Greenwich
Hospital, and St. Joseph's Hospi­tal
in Stamford - who are ce>
operating with the university by
providing their facilities for
.c.l.in.ical studies:' said hom. [)o­Mrs.
Dolan, who has spent a
large portion of her career as
and educator, said faculty for
the new school would be ap­pointed
who met nomal univer­sity
requirements, who had at
least a Master's degree, and
who have additional preparation
on a graduate level for teaching
and practice in the clinical area
for which they will assume
teaching responsibility.
She also stated that due to
the nature of the curriculum,
only six faculty would be re­quired
for the first year of the
program but that six would be
added for each of the following
two years and two during the
fourth year for a total eomple-­ment
of 14 by the time the first
class Is graduated.
Along with the new school
will come necessary growth
within the university library.
Mrs, Dolan said that in addition
to the existing library facilities,
there are plans to add the vol­umes
necessary for a basic nur­sing
reference library In the
first year, and as the nursing
faculty join the staff and course
content Is developed to add ad­ditional
titles and periodicals as
recommended by them. She also
stated that her planning calls
for the appointment of a nurse­faculty
member to the library
cornmJttee.
Although the School of N~
ing will operate as a separate
school within the university,
housed in the new Bannow SCI­ence
Center due for completion
m January 1m, Mrs. Dolan
emphasized that students and
faculty would be very much an
Integral part of the total com­munity
and share in the use
of all available facilities.
Mn. Dolan, who is a profes­sional
nurse registered in New
York and Cormeetleut, received
a bachelor of science degree
fom the College of St. Rose and
master's degree from Yale Uni­versity,
where her major area
of concentration was psychia­tric

She seved as a nurse In the
United States Navy during the
Korean war and has been a
clinical Instructor at the Veter­an's
Administration Hospital in
West Haven, just one of the
many similar teaching post she
has held at schools throughout
the country.
Comenting on what goals she
hopes to liiee Falrfleld's new
program work for. Mrs. Dolan
feels that "Good health care is
acepted today as a right rather
than a prlvllege and the roles
of people 1n the health profes­sions,
Including nurslng are con­stantly
changing and expanding
to keep pace with society. Nurs­Ing

''The Word," taking up the 41
pages. The book is given to me
at 2 a.m. the dawn of Christ·
mass caused an excitement over
poetry not felt for some time.
Was it the wonder of detecting
a philosopher in a state of
epoche or open mindedness or
was it the attempt to find the
real meaning of the poems?
Who is this Tong? Dr. Tong
was not an English professor
as assumed at first BUT IS a
philosopher after all at Fair·
field University teaching ori­ental
philosophy, 19th Century
philosophy, and metaphysics.
Who better than a philosopher
to write '''The Word," a phiJoso..
phical poem. I wondered if he
were born in the states or
Britain but "An Ancient Vil·
lage" pointed to the Dynastic
Song to the broken strin~ of
my laden memories of an an­cient
vllJage that [ know no
more. A Chinese technique is
of rules would be promulgated
"in order to provide a beginning
framework" but that eventually
the girls would assume the
same responsibility as male
students for the condut of thclr
own lives. When asked where
the girls would be housed DC!an
Krell stated that no final de­cisions
had been reached on the
matter and Dean Samway
added that "we are leaning ten­tatively
towards Loyola as a
possibility."
In regard to parietal hours,
Mrs. Samway pointed out that
at other schols girls tend to
want to restrict parietal hours
more than the men do since
they prefer more privacy.

Led Zeppelin U provided an
impetus for the group to reach
countless numbers of new fans
through the aborted cut taken
from the album "Whole Lotta
Love," which is currently climb­ing
the singles charts. I just
hope that the group doesn't al·
ter their sound in any way to
cater to the teenybopper market
- It's fine just the way It is.
Highlights of the album include
"Ramble On," "What Is and
What Should Never Be;' and
''The Lemon Song."
Let It Bleed by the Rolling
Stones while lacking uny the­matic
unity, as Mick Jagger
himself admits, nevertheless has
some outstanding cuts most
notably "Gimmie Shelter," "Let
It Bleed" and the long version
of "You Can't Always Get What
You Want" with the London
Bach Choir and AI Kooper.
The Jefferson Airplane again
proved that they are capable of
producing consistently fine al­bums
with their release last
year of Volunteers in which
the Airplane takes on the role
of minstrels for the revolution
as proclaimed in "We Can Be
Together" and "Volunteers."
Last but not least Is Nashville
Skyline by Bob Dylan. While
this album has been denounced
by many as "redneck" music
(a la Johnny Cash), it is prob­ably
these same sort of people
who booed Dylan off the stage
at Newport and Forest Hills
when he first made his break
from "pure" folk and used eleo.
tric instruments. Audiences
must allow their artists to
change and expand because
otherwise their music will just
stagnate and sound the same
for the rest of their careers, as
happened to the Mammas and
Pappas and numerous other
groups.
This year ended with the
tragic free Rolling Stones con­cert
at Altamont, California
where a man was murdered by
a group of Hell's Angels acting
as security guards. Let's hope
that it is not this spirit that
carries Into 1970, but rather the
spirit of Woodstock.
Girls were more the objects
of attention than the subject of

It's the Marine Corps' test for the

you if you've got all it takes to

college graduation, and carry
new weight on your shoulders

Many of the questions raised
centC!red around the specific ar­rangements
that were being
made to accommodate the girls
when the tlrst c(H!(j,s enter
Fairfield in September. The
------------- opening question raised was
"will the rules be the same for
the girls as for the men?" Both
deans replied that initially a set
and Nash. Just as in 1967 it
was impossible to walk along
a dormitory corridor without
hearing Sgt. Pepper's Lonely
Heart Club Band so this year
the sounds of the super-trio
streamed out of everyone's win­dows
and doors. They were a
breath of fresh air for the rock
music scene and with the addi­tion
of Neil Young their pres·
ence should be felt for a long
time to come.
Abbe)- Road, the Beatles' only
offering of 1969 certainly must
be included on any list of top
albums. Although some of the
songs on the first side be<:ome
tedious after repeated listen­ings,
it Is still a basically solid
album and the fifteen minute
medley which ends the album
is excellent.
Tommy the Who's double al­bum
represents te first attempt
at a rock opera and it is a very
successful one. The Who finally
seC!m to have lived up to the
capabilities that everyone knew
they had. In fact, their only
problem seems to be how to fol­low
up such a great album as
Tommy.
It looks like Blind Faith'.
tirst album is to be their last
as news has come from London
that the group has definitely
split. Ho\\:ever, they have left
behind them a fine album for
posterity highlighted by "Pres­ence
of The Lord" and "1 Can't
Find My Way Home."
Both albums by Nell Young
are excellent and he proves
himself to be one of the finest
song writers in rock music 10­day.
Even though he has joined
up with Crosby, Stills and Nash
he still plans to continue his
solo career in addition to his
work with the group.

It seems that some of the
faculty had been tardy In vot·
ing for the appointments to the
rank and tenure conunittee. Fr.
Breshnahan motioned that a list
of faculty who had not voted
be posted. I cannot explain why,
but after the motion was passed
the meeting passed into a dis­ruption.
The rank and tenure
committee conflict caused so
many mixed emotions that ~
thing was solved. The meeting
ended when It was discovered
that so many o( the faculty had
drifted out that there was no
longer a quorom.

A Comment
Movie or Book Reviews For THE STAG
Anyone rntensted In Writing Drama,
The Fairfield University skaters entertained St.
Francis College this past Friday night in what may be
called their biggest game of the season. This game was
big not only because it was St. Francis that halted the
Stags in the final playoff series last year, but also for
the mere reason that the Stag Sextet had to win all
their remaining games to win the division champion­ship.
As the Stags were losing by the score of 5-1, the,.
were also losing their chance for the top playoff post·
tion.
Although the hockey team is almost assured of a
playoff position, the importance of their failing to
finish first cannot be overlooked. The Hockey Club
must now rent ice time and provide for the payment
of referees, which in a three game series is a bii[ ex­penditure.
Also had the Stags been able to finish in the
top playoff spot, the team would have enjoyed some
needed rest while the second and third place clubs
fight it out for the right to play number one.
The score of 5-1 is not a true portrayal of the dif­ference
in the abilities of the two teams. In the first
period F'airfield outshot the Terriers 13~9 and failed
to score. The only goal of the period was similar to
three of the St. Francis goals. Fairfield was controlling
the action in their opponents' end, St. Francis has a
great ability to switch from defense to offense and
thus caught Fairfield in two on one and three on one
situations up ice. The St. Francis defense was fantastic
as the Terrier goalie continually closed the door on the
Stag attack. A shutout was avoided with 11 :23 gone
by in the final period as Jimmy Monahan took a pass
from Teddy Sybertz and slammed one home.
Fan Support Needed
The Fairfield Hockey team does not need to have
excuses provided for them because of their loss. How.
ever, the Fairfield fan may have to find a few. This past
September the question was asked is a losing club sup~
portable. The Fairfield sextet is not a losing club, The
Stags entered the St. l'rancis game with a 9-3 record,
the top three scorers in their division in Monahan, Guy
La Flamme and Sybertz and the best goalie in the
league, Steve Daur, with a 2.08 goals against average.
With all this going for them and a chance to go
all the way this year where are the fans? Friday night's
game was at home and it was a must game. It was
ironic that the Stag skaters came out in their white
road uniforms, because the majority of the crowd was
from St. Francis. This was a big psychological factor
in the St. Francis victory. Chuck Frissora put it per­fectly,
"There-. is a void on this campus, I don't know
why, but it's there. It means a lot to have some fans
behind you, but tonight ..."
Not many Stag fans have to come out to the
games, just enough to make some noise, is that asking
too much. St. Francis had one bus of fans, possibly 40
people, but they sounded like 10,000. Does the ques­tion
have to be asked, is a winning club supportable?
If a winning club, that has a shot to take it all, that
lost in the finals to St. Francis last year, is not support­able,
whose fault is it? The Stag sextet can beat any­body
in their league. They have a great first line that
will score, several outstanding defensemen and an out.
standing goalie. This club lacks only one thing and this
thing they themselves cannot provide.
Although Art's plans for the
future are not deflnite, he is
anxtous to make his mark in
the world. He may attend grad
school at night to further bis
education. His fondness for chil­dren,
as is evidenced by his
summer job as a recreation di­rector,
probably will continue
in the form of coaching CYO
on Saturdays.
Before Art leaves Fairfield,
however, he has one great chal­lenge
left. On March 5 Fairfield
versus St. Bonnie's; Good. ver­sus
Laniel'. It would be quite
a sendoff if we could pack New
Haven Arena.
(OoDtinued from Page 12)
Day refused to yield.
Sextet In MSG
Pat McCarthy upped the
count to 2 to 0 in the second
period by converting passes by
Acosta and Day after he sneak­ed
past the Fairfield defense.
With 6:14 gone in the period
Mike Nagy scored when a
loose puck came to him after
Steve Daur had made six
saves but couldn't get back into
position to stop him. In the
waning seconds of the period
McCarthy converted a Day pass
for a four-zip score.
Acosta collared his second
goal of the game at 11 :07 of
the third period by using the
Stag defense as a screen. Mike
Daly assisted the Frankie centre
on the play. Just sixteen sec­onds
later Jimmy Monahan
averted a shutout by lacing the
puck into the Frankie net from
the left wing with the help of
Ted Sybertz. Although the shots
on goal were almost even most
of the Stags' were either weak
or from out too far. This in­ability
to crack the St. Francis
defense and the lack or co­hesion
made the difference In
the ga.me.
On February 22nd the Stags
will make their bow in Madi­son
Square Garden. Fairfield
will play division leaders Iona
in a matinee game with face­off
time 2:30. The game was
originally slated for January 12,

leagues. Therefore, all team
captains should submit accounts
of their games to Gary Marzol­la,
ND 322 or Box ITlO, as soon
as possible after their respec­tive
games.

One can hardly miss the
ftashy avocado Roadrunner that
often prowls the campus. And
with A F GOOD on its plate,
one cannot mistake its owner,
cage star Art Good. At &-8 and
235, Art is the big man on the
court for the Stags. He shares
the responsibility of the center
with his roommate Rich Schon­beck.
While at Catholic Memorial
High outside of Boston, Art was
highly honored for his talents
on the hardwood. Playing in
the Allentown Tournament on
the New England All-8cholastlc
team, including Calvin Murphy,
was his biggest schoolboy thrill.
Basketball _ a New Dlmenalon
Since coming to play for the
Stags, basketball has taken on
a new dimension for Art, "Bas­ketball
has given me the intes­tinal
fortitude to take the apa­thetic
and selfish attitude on
Fairfield's campus." Besides 00­ing
a game he enjoys immense­ly,
it helps him rise above the
usual campus abnosphere where
supporting roles are few. "If
I can spend 3 hours a day prac­ticing,
the least the Stags could
do is spend an hour and a half
a week at a home game in the
gym."
In the realm of the game it­sell,
Art has had some thrilling
experiences at Fairfield. Among
them Art counts playing against
Elvin Hayes in the Astrodome
his number one personal ex­perience
and the Stags' one
point, double-overtime Joss to
the undefeated Bonnies in 1968

lead as Mark 'Frazer fed Sam
King who led the fast breaks,
hitting Magaletta and Gibbons
under the basket. The Stags
opened up a big enough lead
and Tom Finch, Bill Haff, Tom
Purcell and "Bad News" Barnes
continued to force Stonehill into
mistakes which resulted in fast
breaks as Finch hit on two
baskets in the final minute.
Magaletta and Gibbons paced
Fairfield with 26 points and 24
points respectively.
The Stags have done a
fine job so far this season but
they have a rough schedule for
the rest of this month playing
Niagra, last night's game, Holy
Cross, Duquesne, Manhattan

SI. Joe's maintained about an
8 point lead for the next five
minutes but then Fairfield came
back to life and trailed by only
2 points at 61-59. St. Joe's
quickly scored two baskets and
Jed 65-59 as the Stags lost mo­mentwn.
This was a result of
Dan Kelly's shooting and Rich

his fourth foul. Dan Kelly was
high scorer in the game with
30 points.
Cagen Ravage Stoneblll
On Jan. 28 Fairfield routed
Stonehill for an 88-73 victory.
The first half was very slow
because of the great number of
fouls called. This proved to be
vital when four of Stonehill's
five starters fouled out with con­siderable
time left in the game.
Wayne Gibbons played a good
game as he constantly hit the
open man, The Stags led at half
time 33-30. In the sceond half
Fairfield began to build up tlle:1
proved to be vital as both teams
went over the limit. The Stags
had an 8 point lead at half
time 30-22.
Bob Kelly qUickly began the
second half with a steal as he
led a fast break down court.
But then Fairleigh Dickinson
came back with an s.4 spurt
which narrowed the score to
34-30. Frank Magaletta was
not shooting up to his 20.9 aver­age,
as he continuously tried to
drive and shoot over the
Knight's Oliver Smith, but
Smith blocked three of Frank's
attempts. FD closed the gap
to 49-47 with 59 seconds re­maining
as the Knights capital·
Ized on the Stag's turnovers.
FD had the ball with 12 see­onds
to go and attempted a shot
at the buzzer which was un­successful
as Fairfield won
49-47. Mark Frazer played a
fine game while grabbing 12
rebounds. Wayne Gibbons paced
the Stags' sooring with 15
points, Magaletta had 11, and
Bob Kelly, who had a fine pass­ing
and playmaking game, hit
for 10 poinUi.
Stag_ Lead In First Half
On Saturday night Jan. 31
Fairfield met St. Joseph's at the
New Haven Arena and came
out on the losing side 78-69.
Fairfield was expecting a rough
game after last year's upset al
the Palestra. St. Joe's switched
defenses during the first half
and the Stags took advantage
of their man-to-man defense
with the driving and shooting
of Frank Magaletta and the re­bounding
off both boards by
Mark Frazer. Fairfield was
ahead by 8 points, 40-32, at the
half and it looked as though it
was a repeat of last year's
meeting. But St. Joe's came
back strong In the second half
through the efforts of Dan Kelly
and Mike Hauer. Fairfield
didn't get as many second shots
at the basket as they did in
the first half and St. Joe's began
to hit well both inside and from
the outside. After eight minutes
gone in the second half St.
Joe's went ahead 52-49 and the
Stags never regained the lead.

until 12:45 when Guy La­Flamme
garnered his second
goal of the game with an assist
from Jimmy Monahan. The con­test
was a rather loosely played
penalty riddled game, surely not
one of the Stags' best.
St. Francis came to Fairfield
with a very determined squad
and group of very boisterous
fans. The Frankies out to prove
that last years playoff triumph
over the Stags was no fluke had
little trouble after the first
period. Fairfield ,hampered by
the loss of its star right winger
Guy LaFlamme, just couldn't
seem to mount it's usually po­tent
offense.
Julio Acosta started the scor­Ing
when he shot from the left
wing. Chuck Frissora tried to

puck sailed over a· prone Steve
Daur into the net. The Stags

This past Saturday night the
Fairfield University basketball
team hosted Fairleigh Dickin·
son University, as the Stags
w~re out to avenge an 88-87
OT loss to the Knights last
year. During the first half Mark
Frazer's rebounding opened the
scoring for the Stags as Fair­leigh
Dickinson's sloppy play
forced them into costly turn­overs.
Wayne Gibbons quickly
hit for three baskets as the
Stags opened an 11-3 lead with
14:39 remaining forcing the
Knights to call time out. Slop­piness
was a characteristic of
both teams as both clogged up
the middle forcing each other
to shoot from the outside. Fair­leigh
Dickinson could not con­vert
their foul shots which

The Hockey Club played their
first game in over a month last
Monday and came out with a
sloppy 6 to 1 win over the hap­less
Jaspers of Manhattan.
flve nights later, the Stags
suffered their fourth loss at the
hands of league champs St.
Francis. Fairfield will try to
make Friday the thirteenth a
lucky day when they host Co­lumbia
at 9:00 p.m. in Bridge­port.
Fairfield, a team that had
played only once since before
Christmas, clearly outclassed
Manhattan but didn't play a
sharp passing game. It was
Quite evident that the lack of
practice severely hurt the usual
Stag timing. Guy LaFlamme
led off the scoring at 1 :41 of
the first period by slamming in
a rebound off Jimmy Mona­han's
stick. Dl>fenseman Chuck
Frissora also picked up an assist
on the play. Five minutes Later,
with the Stags having a two
man advantage. Frissora broke
In from the left point, Monahan
fed him a perfect pass and the
score was 2 to O. After some
rather dull play, the Stags were
again on the power play. Teddy
Sybertz put the puck in the net
after LaFlamme passed the
disk out to Gerry Michaud who
fired It on the net. Kevin Mc­Nally
put the puck past Steve
Daur at short range. The Stag
goalie stopped the shot but it
trickled off his pad into the net.
Teddy Sybertz started the
second session off ju~t like La­F1amme
did the first, only seven
seconds later. The Sta.g center
ct.nverted passes by Guy La­Flamme
and Jim Monahan as
the visiting Red applied con­stant
pressure on the Jasper net.
Exactly three minutes later
Chuck Frissora garnered his
second marker. 8S he and Sy­hertz
connected on a two on
one rush.
