The S t u d e n t Association
staged the planned demonstration
on Wednesday March 26 in
an effort to indicate student
support for the demands for
social and academic reform.
About 700 students turned out
in support of the demands.
Before the actual speaking
got under way, various songs
were played over the P A system
on the Campus Center
Terrace, including "Revolution"
by the Beatles. Drew Soltys,
'71, began the official proceedings
by asserting the nature
of the demonstration: to
show solid student support for
the demands. Mark Galligan
'70, then paraded around the
podium with a pig's head on a
pole with reference to the pig
as Fr. Mcinnes.

For Gov 't Reforms
ernment President spoke briefly
on keeping the demonstration
non-violent, and added in light
of the crowd present, "If this
is 'Stagism', then I'm proud to
be a Stag." Other speakers mcluded
William Connolly, Rugby
Club President, who endorsed
the non-violent deptonstration
and Ron iMtch~ll. '70,
who addressed remarks to the
Administration calling for the
implementation of a black studies
program, a black admissions
office, and black professors.
John Mekrut, '72, ~riefly
elaborated on Mr. Saltys com;:
nents and indicated Freshman
support of the demands. Mr.
Bernholz, Fine Arts professor
spoke in the period allowed for
any speaker and indicated that
there was "faculty support" for
the student's demands.
Barney McGrane, '69, protested
against a form issued
by Mr. Bianchi, Dean of Resident
Students, sent to the landladies
of off-campus students
concerning students' social and
academic behavior. Mr. McGrane
replied to the use of
such a form, "If you want to
know whether I take drugs,
entertain women in my room, or
keep regular hours, ask me,
not my landlady."
T. Oakey McKnight, '72,
took the microphone briefly and
&aid "Some of us could be over
there getting dead, and some
eat's calling me up selling me
not to wear blue-jeans to dinner".
After the speeches had been
concluded, all students present
marched from the Campus Center
around Canisius stopping in
front of Fr. Mcinnes' office
and cheered "Rights Now" and
"We Shall Overcome". The
march was then directed to the
"Big House" where the demonstrators
halted out front. To
the shouts of "Sieg Heil". Jay

a weekly seminar. The

Meetings
ED. NOTE: This statement was made by Albert Mariani over
WVOF last Monday concerning the reforms being acted upon.
Tremendous progress has been made with the student position
on social change. The Administration has reviewed all points and
there is mutual consensus.
The Executive Board is setting itself up as the Ad Hoc Committee
to serve as the dormitory council for the remainder of the
year. This council will be in charge of putting into effect any of
the changes that take place.
The Board will spend the rest of the week organizing itself
to undertake this job. We expect to set up parietals for the coming
weekend, and we will have all the machinery in operation by that
time. We intend to prove that parietals can work, and with your
covperation we can use this as a base upon which we will build
a better social climate.
Dress regulations have been settled to our satisifaction. Signouts
are now to be considered a service, not an obligation.
The alcohol question is now being decided and a revisibn is
expected. The details are going to be worked out so that Conn.
state law will not be violated. Experimentation in the use of alcohol
is now being considered. This should be resolved by the end of the
week. I am more than optimistic.
The Student Services Office has worked very closely with thegovernment.
We have had cooperation at every level. The Student
Government dnd Student Services will make a joint statement at
the end of the week, outlining the spedfics of each change. A new
concept of social life on campus is now being, realized. The respect
of the faculty anJ administration for the student and vice versa is
what is now necessary. Even more important is student respect
for himself. With these attitudes in mind, the Fairfield University
Community can only forge ahead.
Needless to say, gentlemen, no displays of emotion are in
order. The mutual cooperation which we have arrived at must be
maintained at all cost.
Thank you,
Albert J. Mariani
Frealden&
student concerning himself
with the existing problems of
urban living, direct contact with
these problems, and problem
solving.
This program is designed to
be interim in nature and conducted
on an experimental
basis. Due to the unique nature
of the material to be
covered, the marking system
will consist of a high pass, pass,
and no credit evaluation of the
student's work. It is hoped that
the course could be improved
by examination -by the participants,
and that it would prove
the basis for an undergraduate
interdisciplinary major involving
urban studies beginning in
1970.
The process for selecting this
new program is of a different
nature than any other elective.
An interested student should
complete his registration in the
normal manner and not include
the Interdisciplinary Seminar
in Urban Studies in his list of
electives. He should then make
known i·n writing to either Dr.
John Barone's office in Canisius,
or to the office of the Dean in
Xavier his desire to participate
in the Urban Studies elective.
He should also note the electives
that he wishes to drop in
favor of the seminar. This process
has been devised because
it has not been determined how
many students will be allowed
to take part in thlti program.
(The number of student partipants
will be regulated by the
number of faculty members
willing to serve in the seminar.)
Fr. William Mcinnes, S.J.,
President of Fairfield University,
will serve as chairman and
coordinator of the seminar.
Members of the Ad Hoc Committee
on Urban Studies expect
to serve as instructors in the
program. The committee is
comprised of Dr. John Barone,
Vice-president in charge of
planning, Mr. Alfred Benney of
the Theology Department, Dr.
Edward Dew of the Government
Department, Mr. James
Fralir.k of the Economics Department,
Dr. Donald Ross of
the Biology Department, and
Dr. Ralph Welsh of the Psychology
Department. It is the
opinion of the committee that
there are at least ten other
members of the faculty who
would be willing to serve in the
capacity of instructors.
April 17
an Studies Semi a Innovation
Thouo·h the present program for tomorrow, the day for choosing
majors a1~d electives, does not show it, a six credit course called
"Interdisciplinary Seminar in Urban Studies" will be offered t is September.
From the description we received , the course will deal with
probl ems in our urban centers, and it will be taught in an informal
approach. Besides fulfilling a drastic need, the urban study course
also app~ar.s to represent a new direction for Fairfield, one which we
whole heartedlv endorse.
Department, is the product of the academic Ad Hoc committee. The
plan was moved to its present form mainly by the influence of Dr.
Barone, Vice-President in charge of planning. To these two men and
to the rest of the Ad Hoc committee we offer praise and encouragement.
When the course is actually implemented, it will be nearest Fairfield
has come to being an "innovator."
The course, as it is described, will comprise ideal aspects of
education.
A good student to teacher ratio: there would be no more than
three or four students to each faculty-member-advisor. Emphasis off
grades: a hig-h-pass, pass, or no credit will be given instead of an
alphabetical grade. Independent study: the course will be structured
around this.
The seminar, originally conceived by Dr. Dew of the History
Viewing the course as a tremendous opportunity, we strongly
urge interested students to consider it for next year. A 2.5 Q.P. or
recommendation from a professor are the requirements. but previous
to serious consideration, we suggest a consulta.tion with your faculty
advisor or one of your teachers. Since the course will not be restricted
to any one field. all interested faculty members are also encouraged
to consider it. The seminar should offer the most relevant approach
to education available here. The news of it has struck us somewhat
as a surprise - but a most encouraging one.
News Analysis
An OutJiJer
By KEVIN 1\lc A ULU""FE
I arrived in Cambridge on
Tuesday night. I was walking
innoct'ntly down Massachusetts
Avenue whC'n I was confronted
by a parade. There were Campfire
Girls, Girl Scouts, a high
.school marching band, an acid
rock band mounted on a flat
truck, and over 400 torchlight
marchers with p:>sters of Orson
Welles reading: " Alles ist
Welles." I was to find out only
later that it was Orson Welles
Day in Cambridg0 in honor of
a new theatre in his name. Such
things happen in Harvard
Square.
Accordingly, the next morning
\vhen my work in the library
was handicapped by shouts,
chants , screams, and bullhorn~~;
upportc d speeches I thought
nothing of it - an extension of
Welles Day at most. When I
left and stepped out into Harvard
Yard I saw otherwise. University
Hall, 150 yards to my
left, was full of students -
hanging out the windows, haranguing
from the steps, parading
out front, watching from the
lawn. I joined them and watch·
ed. The crowd has been described
by media as hostile. That is
untrue. It was above all amused
- a confused, bewildered, utterly
passive bunch. On the steps,
a speaker intoned the demands
- abolition of ROTC, no expansion
by Harvard into the local
slums, and a litany of others.
Up went the chant - "Smash
rot-cee, no expansion!"
I suddenly noticed another
Fairfield student on the steps
ncar the speakers, and knifed
my way up to him. He had an
appointment with a Dean who
would now never keep it. From

him I learned that the insurgents
were hopelessly fragmented
on every level - goals, strategy,
tactics. From eavesdropping
on a conversation nearby
between an ejected dean and a
bearded student, I learned that
"this is the most poorly-organized
political demonstration I've
ever witnessed." I asked the
student if it was the first seizure
of a building. It was. So poorly
organized or not, a 333-year old
tradition of sanctity was gone.
Another would die sixteen hours
later.
We went Inside. To our right,
a chaotic strategy meeting was
being held. Upturned tables
seated students who listened to
a speaker warn against smoking
marijuana. "We're going to
get our heads busted anyway.
But each one of you has got to
decide if you're going to do

something that will screw 400
ot·her people." The bulletin
board was now advertising "Che
Guevara Hall: F- k the Army,
Fly Navy, Smash ROTC, Smash
Capitalism, Smash Imperialism,
Smash Racism, Smash Harvard
Expansion." In the offices of
colonial design and modern comfort
which no students had seen
before and none would again,
frolic reigned. Typewriters were
being used to type stencils,
phones to call for outside aid,
floors to sit down and talk, a
dean's study for an impromptu
press conference (his books
were interesting reading to the
students who sampled them at
will). Someone wrote "F- k
Authority" on a dean's wall.
Others ~ taped an apology for it
below and tried to blot it out
with spray paint. I volunteered
to search for laquer thinner in
the upstairs janitor's closet, but
old newspapers were what we
found instead. Top headline:
"Columbia Cancels All Classes
as Dissidents Hold Buildings."
History was repeating. The
room of Confidential Records
was intact, but its door had a
derisive message taped to it. An
underground reporter described
the scene as "a game of King
of the Mountain." He has a gift
for understatement.
We went downstairs to the
Communication Center in time
to answer a thoroughly amusing
call from a New London paper
asking us for a statement. We
gave way to an insurgent leader
who told them curtly but with
perfect aplomb, "This office is
no longer functioning." Flyer
paper was being requisitioned
from the vast storerooms, and
the basement doors had been
chained and bolted.
We went to leave as two faculty
entered. One insurgent
leader wished to bar them, taking
them for "plainclothesmen."
They went right on in. The
back doors had now been barricaded.
On the front steps, the
ejected dean was arguing for
return of his room, to no avail.
Now there were changes. The
blacks had arrived in support
of the insurgcnis, the Young
Americans for Freedom had
counterpickets (with Princeton
shirts on) and an SDS effigy,
and the crowd was alive and
swelling. Everyone knew trouble
had come, and more was on the
way. Local and national news
media were now patrolling the
turf in pursuit of interviews. We
chatted briefly.
I left University Hall and
would not be inside again. I
went to eat at the · Harvard
Square Brigham's with souvenirs
in hand, and the waitresses
began talking: " Now they've
done it . . . Taken over the
Administration building . . .
Those kids oughta be shipped
overseas." They asked me if
their cars would be damaged;
I reassured them. They badgeded
me for my opinion; I said I
was merely an outsider who
distrusted ROTC but could not
rightfully judge the seizure. I
left, met a friend who joined
·the crosstown demonstration at
Boston University, and went to
Boston Garden to see Boston destroy
the Knickerbockers. On
the way, we were overheard
by straphangers in an MBTA
subway. "Disgusting . . . kids
dying overseas so they can do
these awful things." I suppose
the sentiment is flawless. But
those who beli~ve in it are anything
but. As we left the Garden,
the Record- American's
early edition blared out the
tense situation and the crowd's
faces became sullen and ugly.
The SDS speakers had gloated
of "revolutionizing the workers"
only that noon. They were lucky
the workers could not get at
them rig-ht then.
At 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday,
April 9, the demonstrators were
ordered to leave. At 5, Harvard
Yard was sealed off from the inside.
And as dawn broke at 5
a.m. the bust came. 200 insurgents
inside the building made
frantic preparations for tear
gas, 250 sympathizers outside

Leadership
By BOB BURGESS
Sophomore Joseph Kuntz, s
strong supporter of off-campus
student activities, is the newly
elected president of the Bridgeport
Area Club. Also picked for
leading positions in this, the
largest and second oldest student
organization of the university,
were Patrick Henry '71,
vice-president, and Gene Miller
'70, treasurer.
En route to a meeting of campus
organization heads, Mr.
Kuntz paused to speak of his
immediate plans for the offcampus
students club: "My purpose
now is to work with the
Administration. There has been
a lack of communication between
the Administration and
the BAK." He also said that
he would be planning functions
for next year with the on-campus
fraternities and the Student
Government, setting up a scholarship
program for incoming
freshmen and BAK members.
Pat Henry spoke of the general
purposes of the BAK: "The
club itself serves as a relief
from the daily stress of s_chool,
so that the off-campus students
can find social and academic life
in virtually the same place."
The BAK has an active membership
of seventy students, and
rents a house in Milford. The
membership, said Mr. Henry, is
made up of Fairfield University
students living in Stratford,
Bridgeport, Fairfield, Stamford,
-and Milford.

A hearty handshake and a
great big smile are among the
precious memories that 42 Fairfield
University students will
long remember about the mountain
people who received the
boys into their homes with unequaled
warmth and generosity.
Profound Experience
These students are enroute to
the Fairfield campus after trading
their Easter vacation for the
aches and pains of hard labor
and the profound experiences
gained through their first encounter
with the residents of
the Appalachian region.
The boys organized the trip
with the help of Mr. Ronald J.
Bianchi, assistant dean of Stu·
dent Services at the University,
and Brother Albert Behn of the
Glenmary Seminary in Fairfield.
The Connecticut State Council
of the Knights of Columbus donated
the $1,300 necessary for
transportation.
Renovate Factory
Original plans called for them
to completely renovate an old
factory, known as Appalachian
Industries Production Center,
which is operated by the Glenmary
missionaries as the only
job training site for the youth
of the area.
While the students were busy

looks on. (Plloto by J. O'Conno~)
repairing equipment, re-wiring
the electrical system and conducting
a general clean-up campaign
in the plant, word of their
arrival spread throughout the
small community of 2,000. With
work way ahead of schedule at
the factory, boys volunteered to
aid the townspeople in private
projects.
Cauntry Tales
One example was a group of
four students who worked under
the watchful eyes of Mrs.
Cropper, or "Birdie" as she insisted,
reclaiming a family
cemetery from the wild growths,
weeds and underbrush which
try tradition where the kin are
not neglected even after death.
Selfless People
Mrs. Cropper proved to be
most gracious as she rewarded
their efforts with a cake and
spring water. Her overwhelming
friendliness seemed almost
suspect to the wary northerners,
but after a few short minutes
stretched out on the floor in
her home, Birdie convinced all
that Appalachians are truly
selfless people.
Meanwhile other students
were experiencing equally fine
receptions from families such
as the Liles and the Toilers.
But one woman who forever
endeared herself to over forty
hungry boys was Mrs. Clayton
Cooper, who brought the whole
group in for a meatloaf dinner
on Tuesday evening. The thanks
of the grateful students seemed
to embarrass her ·and she insisted
that this certainly was
not an extraordinary event.
The evening hours were spent
with the townsfolk competing
in their favorite pastimes -
baseball and roller skating.
Tom Dyblck gives a lift to two friends in the recent trip
to Appalachia. (Plloto by J. O'Connor)
It is doubtful the students
needed any exercise after their
hard day's work, but it provid·
ed a tremendous opportunity for
the fostering of friendships and
exchange of ideas which led to
a mutual respect.

PHILOSOPHY LECTURE
Tonight at 8:00 p.m. in the
Campus Center at Fairfield
University Professor Samuel
Hartenberg of York College,
The City University of New
York, will address the Philosophy
Academy. The entire community
is invited.
Dr. Hartenberg will speak on
"Tolerance in Economic Relations."
Dr. Hartenberg'a investigations
into the problem of
tolerance have lead to his conclusion
that man is the animal
least characterized by equality,
that the reciprocal deterrninatLon
of circumstances and powers
perpetuates inequality, and
that such inequality is the most
fundamental source of hwnan
contact.
He sees the objects of tolerance,
in these circumstances, as
the external signs of wealth
and poverty transfigured in a
political context into marks of
character. Dr. Hartenberg will
demonstrate this interpretation
of tolerance in terms of
our contemporary political and
economic situation.
Dr. Samuel Hartenberg is an
Assistant Professor of Philosophy

Students Express Opinions
On Recent Demonstration
By RICK BAKER -and
PAUL CUNNINGHAM
EDITOR'S NOTE: This article
repreaents a few candid
opinions from students concerning
the recent student unity
demonstration.
STAG: Why dld you come to
this demonstration 't
Jeff Relnen ''U
This ought to be a display of
unity of purpo.se in the student
body because the purpose of
this thing is supposedly social
rights. But I think it goes farther
than that. I think it's just
going to be the first in the
series of things. I think it
should be a precident for other
things such as in my mind,
academic reform which is most
important - especially around
here. I'm hoping too that something
like this will give students
responsibility and if they
handle it right the average
"Joe Stag," I'm hoping, will
turn out to be a more mature
type of guy.
Matt Mahoney ''71
Demonstration
ContiJlued from Pace 1
dent picket line outside the
Post-Telegram office on March
27, led by William T. O'Brien,
'69. A full retraction was guaranteed
by the Post's Managing
Editor and a letter of protest
signed by the Stag editorial
board was run in the PostTelegram.
Before and after the demonstration
,talks continued with
the Administration over the
implementation of the Student's
demands. Mr. Mariani appeared
on WVOF at 9:00 p.m.
on April 14, and indicated that
progress was being made, and
he would report to the Student
Association again on Thursday
April 17. Mr. Mariani's statement
appears elsewhere in this
isiue.
Because I want drinking and
girls on campus like any other
normal guy. I think it would
be good for the school.
Tom Mullaney '10
I think most of the proposals
that the new Student Government
is proposing are legitimate
and although I might not
agree with all of them, then
I think I can at least show
support for an incoming government.
Blll Tierney ''72
Well I feel that the school
is falling behind a lot of the
more modern trends and more
liberal schools. I can find
nothing wrong with a few of
the demands such as the liquor.
I would enjoy having that in
my room and the responsibility,
and the girls.
Mike Mlcell '11
I'm here because I think this
is a necessity. I think all the
rules and regulations around
here are quite arbitrary and
they're open for negotiation and
my presence here shows that I
feel that there is room for this
openness now and we have to
change and that's about it, I
think.
John Spllka '·11
I think reform is necessary.
Shaun Harrington '71
I think basically we're all
here today to fight for a bit of
academic reform which is much
needed around here. I also feel
that social reform is even more
important in this case. I think
if we get together and show a
little student force then we can
help show the administration
that we're behind the Student
Government and that we're
willing to get out here on att
afternoon and help in aiding the
cause of reform at Fairfield
University to make this more
of a university than a high
school
Jlm O'Donahue '12
Well it's a very obvious rea-son,
I've been working on the
Student Government quite a bit
myself and I realize the paternalism
of the administration
here. I think we're not little
boys a n y m o r e, we're all
eighteen to twenty-two years
old and we have a right to
make decisions on our own. I
think it's peaceful, it's well organized
and I think something
should come out of it and if
something doesn't, I think violence
is going to be justifiable.
It's going to happen here.
Denny Donovan ''70
I've been aware of AI Mariani
and his boys for a long
time. I supported him in the
election. In fact I was his appointment
to the tri-partite
body which met for the first
time yesterday. I firmly believe
in the power ot the student
body in determining change in
the area of social and academic
reform. I think in the future
that activities such as this
should go through the tri~
artite body but this particular
area of social reform required
an immediacy. I think that this
demonstration shows a certain
support on part of the students
and the administration should
become aware of this support
and re-act in a manner which
will appease both students,
faculty and the administration.
All three factors of the university.
Pat Long ''71 ,
I wanted to see these demands
implemented. I thought
the best way to do this would
be to come out today. So far
the discussions have been going
on pretty well but I think the
turnout today and the way the
demonstration went has solidified
our demands. I don't think
we'll have . any trouble getting
them now.

A Semi-Utopia
To the Editor:
To your student body I am unknown.
But I too am a voice in the multitudes
which cry to be heard. I am a student at
a small Catholic college in the southwest.
which seems to have. little value these
days. I happened to come across a copy
of The Stag (it's a small world) and I
was extremely impressed by an article
in the March 26th edition by Very Rev.
William Mcinnes, S.J. The message that
Rev. Mcinnes so clearly emphasized hit
home to me and some of my fellow students.
Student government is a wonderful
thing, especially if it is given the support.
by a member of the "academic community."
As an ex-editor of my college paper,
which incidently was closed down, shall
I be modest and say, because of a lack
of communication. I find it gratifying to
discover that an editor's dream can come
partially true. To have within your
school the living potential of an academic
community, in its true sense must be a
semi-utopia.
A college is many things to as many
people. But perhaps its most rewarding
aspect is that it affords the student, as
well as the professor, the opportunity to
question and to learn intelligently within
an atmosphere of understanding, but
more important, encouragement.
· The Academic Community which wholeheartedly
stands behind the goals of
education, whether their source be the
written text or the attempt to foster the
well rounded man, cannot go on unsaluted.
Since I no longer enjoy the freedom
or the opportunity to express this opinion
to individuals who can weigh it for
what it's worth, I resort to the brotherhood
of the pen and the knowledge that
the media of the press, used freely and
prudently can do more to expose to the
mind the tremendous opportunities that a
genuine Academic Community has over
a havoc stricken and apathetic campus.
Respectfully submitted,
Timothy C. Gercke

Complete Distortion
Mr. Bob Ellis
"The Stag"
Fairfield University
Fairfield, Conn.
Dear Sir,
Your column of February 5th is such
a complete distortion of the truth about
S.D.S. that I feel obligated to iJluminate
you and the other misled people about
the nature and policies of S.D.S. Above
all, your snowjob of the actions of S.D.S.
at Columbia is nauseating.
You claim the incidents concerning
Columbia's construction of a gym at
Morningside Heights "concerned the neglected
voice of Harlem . . . Dissent
arose when Columbia decided that it
would build a gym on land used by Harlem
children as a playground without
consulting the community." You picture
S.D.S. as the big brother of the Harlem
Community. And you claim S.D.S. protested
(or revolted) against Columbia
relations with the Institute for Defense
Analysis.
Yet after the storm, Columbia's S.D.S.
chieftain stated at Harvard University:
"We manufactured the issues. The Institute
of Defense Analysis is nothing at
Columbia. Just three professors. And the
gym issues are bull. It doesn't mean
anything to anybody (I believe that includes
the neglected people of Harlem).
I had never been to the gym site before
the demonstrations began. I didn't even
know how to get there." That was Mark
Rudd speaking.
As regarding "S.D.S. peacefully deiJlonstrating"
perhaps you consider carrying
lead and steel pipes, as S.D.S. did
at Columbia, peaceful. And perhaps you
consider throwing bottled urine out of
windows peaceful, as S.D.S. did at Columbia.
And what about that S.D.S.er
- who leaped from a second story ledge
and landed on New York patrolman
Frank Guildari paralyzing him from the
. waist down. Not to mention the Molotov
cocktails thrown by peaceful S.D.S.
demonstrators at San Francisco State
College.
And what about S.D.S. national secretary
Gregory Calvert who stated: "We
are working to build a guerilla force in
an urban environment. We are organizing
sedition."
And if you read S.D.S.'s pamplet "Toward
high school reform," students are
urged to start waste basket fires and
pull false alarms, which are methods of
"peaceful dP.monstration."
Neither do you mention that 26% of
those arrested at Columbia were in no
way connected with Columbia. Nor do
you let it be known S.D.S. co-founder .
Tom Hayden regularly visits Hanoi, Mosscow,
Peking and Havana with Communist
leaders.
It prompted United States Communist
Party secretary, Gus Hall to boast
"S.D.S. is working for us."
And certainly the millions of dollars
worth of damage to the Columbia Library,
to its priceless art collections, the
bricks hurled at city policemen, the
paralizing of two cops, and the holding
hostage for twenty-five hours several
school officials - all what you might
consider peaceful demonstration. Not to
mention the signs and chance of S.D.S.
calling for the defeats of American
forces in Vietnam and the many photos
of Castro, Marx and Ho Chi Minh.
You state "on paper the goals of S D.S.
are cliches of the first order, as noble
as . . . the Declaration of Independence."
Have you blown your mind?
Yet at the S.D.S. national convention
reporters were barred, cameras confiscated
and no S.D.S.er was allowed to
identify himself. The New York Times
stated ''while freedom of speech and
press is a basic American tenet, it is not
so recognized by S.D.S." And how about
that peaceful S.D.S. member who hurled
a glass water pitcher at former U.N.
ambassador Goldberg at N.Y.U., and
dragged him from the room to the cheering
of the campus S.D.S.?
You make no secret of your hate for
Fairfield University . . . "Silly requirements
. . . cannot entertain (?) girls
or drink beer . . work-study, get
ahead kill." If you hate the place so
much why not leave. Only a jackass
falls in the same hole twice. Since you
can afford two thousand dollars a year
to attend an institution you hate so
much, allow me to say you are more effective
at being a jackass than a reporter.
And since you have to "Work,
study, get ahead, kill" in this country
why not leave it for the sunny shores
and green pastures of Cuba? Russia?
North Vietnam? It's the likes of you
that gave George Wallace 10 million
votes.
If you liked Hitler you will love S.O.S.
Three cheers for Father Has burgh!

Black Racism
To the Editor:
Recently, Fairfield Stags finally got
together in uniting behind a list of student
demands. The demonstration was a
success, and well run by the new Student
Government. I am writing to express
my dissatisfaction with the speech presented
by Ron Mitchell, which contained
a list of demands pertinent of Black students.
The fact that these demands
should not have been presented in the
context of the demonstration is obvious.
First I think I express the attitude of
many Stags in saying that my presence
at the demonstration was in support of
only the demands listed and publicized
by the Student Government. If the
"Black Brothers" of Fairfield want to
have a separate demonstration then .this
should be permitted, but let's not have
the demands of the two groups publicized
as one, which the press so easily
-did. To comment on the demands of the
Black students, I think they are very
reflective of racism on our campus. Not
the "white racism" which was publicized
earlier this year, but the "Black racism"
which these students seem to be advocating,

Dav of Mournjng.::
To the Editor:
The President of the United States
proclaimed March 31, 1969 as a national
day of mourning; the Pr_esident of Fairfield
University proclaimed this day as
one of normal business. Certainly March
31, 1969 was not a normal day, it was
one in which everyone should have had
the opportunity to show their respect to
a man who has ctedicated 50 years of
service to this country - Dwight Eisenhower.
Sure, they had a memorial Mass
at fourth period, but classes were not
called off during this period.
Whether one agrees with Eisenhower's
policies or not, respect should be given
where due. Many of the faculty members
served in the Armed Forces and
should have been given the opportunity
to show their respect for their former
leader. If Fairfield University does not
see it fit to honor a man such as Eisenhower,
then who do they see fit to honor!
It seems more important to this administration
to have enough academic Mondays.
Many important leaders have left
business at home in order to pay their
respects to the former five-star general.
Certainly, Fairfield could manage to sacrifice
some business to show the honor
due to our former President.
Around the nation on March 31, 1969,
Dwight D. Eisenhower is being remembered.
and here at Fairfield University
he is not considered good enough to
honor in the proper manner.
Respectfully,
Peter E. Dillon '71
Oil ·spute
To the Editor:
The struggle between 300 oil workers
and mighty Standard Oil in Richmond
is not over. Although the Standard Refinery
dispute was settled, the battle goes
on at the Chevron Chemical plant, which
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Standard.
We were able to reach a settlement
at the refinery that was favorable to the
union because of the help we received
from Third World and other students as
well as the teachers and other sections
of the labor movement, such as the long~
horemen.
If this cooperation is continued, we
will be able to roll back Standard's drive
to bust our union in Chevron Chemical.
The issues at Chevron are much more
serious than they were at the refinery.
The Chevron plant has the only remaining
union shop in the entire Standard Oil
emp ~ re. The company is dead set on get-
1ing rid of it.
W c are dead set on keeping our union
shop. This point is non-negotiable as far
as we are concerned. To increase the
pressure on the company, we have called
upon workers, students and members of
the Third World community here and
abroad to join in a massive boycott campaign
of all products of Standard Oil
and. its subsidiaries .
This is no ordinary boycott. Boycotts
usually consist of the reading of "unfair
lists" at union meetings. For this boycott,
we intend to mobilize every available
source of support, both within the
labor movement and outside it.
We are encouraging stuaents, who
have become known recently for their
militancy, to take whatever initiatives
they feel proper in this campaign. Dow
Chemical has felt the wrath of the student
movement because of its manufacture
of napalm for use in Vietnam. Dow
was forced to stop using the universities
as their hiring hall. Standard should be
treated similarly.
For those interested, literature, buttons,
and bumper stickers will be supplied
from our central office in the San
Francisco Labor Temple, 2940 16th
Street, San Francisco 94103.
When our local union approved the
establishment of a mutual-aid pact with
the striking Bay Area students and
workers, we said we would carry our
campaign for support of the cause of the
students· to the entire labor movement.
We will continue our efforts in this direction.
Speakers from the union are available
for speaking at meetings in the Bay
Area and elsewhere if transportation can
be arranged. To get a speaker, call our
Boycott headquarters at ( 415) 431-3447
or 431-3448.

Reagan Proposal Rejected
At Governor's Conference
WASHINGTON <CPS)-The
nation's governors spumed an
attempt last month by California'i
Ronald Reagan to ask the
federal government to investigate
campus disorders.
Reacan's r.esolutlon called for
governors to urg-e the President
and the .Juatice Department to
Investigate the poulbUlty of a
conaplracy ln disruptive campus
protesta. But arguments of aca·
demic freedom and unfamllla.r·
lty with the resolution, the lasues
and the lmpllcations kept
Reagan's proposal from beinr
accepted.
Full Support
Instead the group passed a
statement adopted earlier by the
conference's executive committee
that "extends its full support
to the President ... relative
to the preservation and advancement
of higher education,
which is being jeopardized on
many . . . campuses."
In a closed session, Gov. Calvin
L. Rampton of Utah moved
to substitute the committee
statement for Reagan's proposal.
His motion finally passed, but
only after a proposal to keep
Reagan's language in a watered-
down form failed. Mississippi's
John Bell Williams wanted
the governors to "support" a
federal probe, not "urge" it as
Reagan had wanted.
Agnew Letter
Before the vote, Vice President
Agnew gave the governors
a copy of a letter to him from
the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh,
C.S.C. president of Notre
Dame University. The Rev. Hesburgh
cautioned against "repressive
legislation or overreaction"
by the government in
dealing with campus turmoil.
Gov. Williams said later that
the Reagan resolution was
''dropped like a hot potato."
Conspiracy Theory
He said he believes in the
"conspiracy" theory of student
protest: "When I watch these
riots on the tel-ee-vision and
see some of the same a-gee-tators
that were down in our state
a couple of years ago . . . " But
Williams said a new federal
probe isn't really the answer.
"The FBI, HUAC, and Sen.
McClellan's subcommittee (on
investigations) can do the job."
The California governor's
move did cause some scrambling
among governors who insist
that educators should have control
over their affairs. Michigan's
William G. Milliken and
Massachusetts' Francis W. Sargent
appeared at Reagan's press
conference, tempering the atmosphere
charged by Reagan's reactionary
resolution.
Both declined to give unqualified
support to Reagan, and
stressed that legitimate dissent
should not be discouraged. Asked
about his own legislature's
investigation of Michigan state
universities, Milliken said, "I
have said to the legislators that
they must proceed very carefully."
Reagan then added that he
wanted "to associate himself
with these remarks about not
curbing legitimate dissent,"
Asked if the presence of federal
investigators might not precipitate
more trouble on the
campus, he spoke of studentprovoked
violence-"fire bombings,
even students being beaten
by other radical students."
Asked about police beating
students, Reagan replied, "We
have no evidence of police going
out and doing anything of
that kind," he said, inspiring
guffaws from even the establishment
reporters. "But we
have evidence to the contrary."
Students surrounding policemen
reminded him of a "lynch mob,"
he said. "What does a policeman
do in self-defense?"
No Investigation
Agnew, sent to the conference
by President Nixon, indicated
the investigation suggested by
Reagan is not necessary because
the Justice Department ("presumably
the FBI") already conducts
such a probe. He added
that there is no dispute between
the academic community and
the government over educators'
right to handle their own affairs.
(Agnew as governor of
Maryland, sent state police last
year to the Bowie State College
campus to put down black student
protests.)
Father Hesburgh, who recently
laid down guidelines his
school will follow if it is confronted
with student protest,
and was complimented for them
by President Nixon, said the
academic community must control
its own affairs: "The best
salvation for the university in
the face of any crisis is for the
university to save itself, by declaring
its own ground rules and
basic values and then enforcing
them with the widest and deepest
form of moral persuation for
the good life of the university."
uLaw and order is not pos·
slble," the Rev. Hesburgh
told the VIce President, "with·
out greater achievement of justice
in our times, more compassion
for all, real love between
generations.~' He said the government
should give the unlver·
slty community "elbow room in
which to grow and operate In
its own good way."
Reagan's res o I uti on said
"there is growing evidence of
nationwide coordination in the
planning, the nature, the timing
and the leadership in campus
disruptions." He was not speci-
fic.
The investigation he called
for would have sought to determine,
"among other things, if
there is a nationwide plan or
organization behind the current
outbreaks; w h e t h e r federal
funds should be withheld from
institutions, faculty members
and students who permit or perform
unlawful acts; and whether
there are specific steps that
could be taken by states and
institutions that would lessen
the incidence of violence without
at the same time curbing
dissent, hampering the ability
of institutions to function in
their proper area, or instituting
new federal controls over the
Harvard
Oollt.iaaed from Pap I
massed on the steps as a first
defense, a crowd of 400 stood
near Memorial Church 100
yards to the left, and the adjacent
freshmen houses were
roused by fire alarms. Chartered
MBT A buses swooped into
the yard from several directions,
bearing a load of 650
state, area and local police with
riot helmets but no badges in
an operation the Administration
revealed was the product
of a year's training. The onlookers
were rushed and pinned
down on the church steps. The
sympathizers were charged, dispersed,
and shoved back with
them. Battering rams broke
down the two front doors. Reporters
were detained where
windows were inaccessible, 196
were arrested, 75 seriously injured,
and only a small handful
treated at all. It was all over
in 15 minutes.
I heard of all this when a
car with a bullhorn woke me
up around 9. I went to the reopened
Yard, past the "Strike"
banners. At the Hall, a depleted
crowd listened to a slim picket
chant and calls for solidarity
with "the Vietnamese, the ghettoes,
and the campus community"
while placards lay all over
the ground and rain fell on it.
But the real action was nearby
in Memorial Church. The moderates
had massed and were
angry. I stood on the steps and
followed endless, frivolous debate
via a tape recorder and
loudspeaker. I read the Crimson's
outraged report of the raid
over someone's shoulder, and
noticed aloud that the University
Police had apologized to
the students for the outsiders'
actions. "Does that excuse i't?"
he snapped. Soon we were joined
by a Yale Daily News reporter
who had been jailed for
six hours "by mistake." When
voting began, I entered from
the side. A crush of humanityfully
2,000 students-were packed
like sardines into the historical
landmark. The altar had
been turned i.nto a tenement,
full of crouched bodies, and the
April 17, 1969
Analysis
pulpit was almost obscured by
a crush of humanity fighting to
speak. The aisles were no long-
·er there. Anyone could vote -
teachers and secretaries did,
and even I, the "outside agitator,"
could have. As the strike
was voted, I heard a student
tell a teacher standing behind
me, "Seven are being charged
with assault; maximum sentence
is two yea~." He stalked
out ahead of me.
So where is Harvard? On
Friday, their faculty supported
the student demands and discovered
they can never hope to
implement them. They are divided,
purposeless, utterly powerless;
most do not really comprehend
student unrest from
what I saw, and some are truculent
about it. The SDS ignored
three negative votes and its own
title when it seized University
Hall. The moderates, as usual,
vacillated between impotence
and hesitancy and failed to come
up with a program. I was shocked
to see Harvard had such a
core of counterrevolutionaries.
I remain convinced that the
NOW Generation is too neurotic
to wage revolution. The Administration,
famous for "staying
ahead of them," relied on a
highhanded, ruthless application
of brutal, naked force and, in
media interviews were callowly
evasive about it. Most respectable
theories pinpoint the conservative
alumni as the catalyst
in the Administration's stiffness
on ROTC, its failure to consult
the faculty about the raid, and
its weak justification for it (the
confidential files were in fact
opened, but that was not discoverec;
i till after the raid.)
The dream of Harvard-noble
administration, glorious faculty,
civilized students, unbroken
academic freedom - is gone,
yet another victim of this disillusioning
decade. Harvard is in
serious trouble as President
Pusey prepares for a war of
attrition against his alienated
Community. Now they must
wallow in the mire with the rest
of us.

Speaks At
Dedication
Harold W. McGraw, Jr.,

of the Fairfield University Library

in the Campus Center Oak
Room.
The program for the dedication
of this ultra-modern $2
legitimate authority of the
states."
At the close of the conference,
Reagan was asked if his probe
was not aimed at "sequestering"
activists. "If this is guerilla
warfare, the basis of fighting is
to eliminate the guerillas," the
governor replied.
Reagan's state, needless to
say, has experienced campus
disorder in its bloodiest form,
due mostly to his declaring
"states of emergency" and sending
in state police. Reagan
seems determined to fight back
at "guerilla warfare" with or
without the federal government's
help.
