FAIRFIELD
UNIVERSITY
Fairfield University, third youngest of
the 28 Jesuit institutions of higher education
in the U.S., was chartered by the
State of Connecticut in 1945 and admitted
its initi-al freshman class of 303
male students into the College of Arts
and Sciences in 1947.
In 1949 the University offered its
initial Summer Session of undergtoaduate
studies, and a year later graduate classes
in education were held, prior to the
establishment of the Graduate School of
Education. In 1966 the newest of the
graduate units, the Graduate School of
Corporate and Political Communication,
was opened.
In 1970 Fairfield admitted women to
all its undergraduate programs, simultaneously
establishing the School of
Nursing. Last summer the undergraduate
Department of Business Administration
was elevated to become a separate school
of Business.
At the adult education level, the
Bureau of Business and Public Administration,
offering professional improvement
programs for those ft-om the corporate
and business sector, was opened
in 1963. The Center for Lifetime Learn-ing,
which presents programs leading to
the B.A. and B.S. degrees, was established
in 1972. Three years later the
appreciation-oriented Connecticut Center
for Continuing Education became part
of the University. The three units were
merged into the Division of Continuing
Education in 1977.
Today Fairfield enrolls nearly 2,800
full-time undergraduates in its College
of Arts and Sciences, School of Nursing
and School of Business, with some 48
percent of the students female. Nearly
1,100 students study full- and part-time
in its Graduate School of Education and
Graduate School of Corporate and Political
Communication. The University also
serves more than 2,600 adult credit and
non-credit students from the region each
semester through its Division of Continuing
Education. while last summer more
than 1,700 undergradu·ates and gtoaduate
students were enrolled in its Summer
Session.
Fairfield continues its commitment to
.the search for truth and to the development
of students academically, socially,
physically and ethically, including encouraging
the fOTmulation of strong
moral and spiritual values.
Included in Fairfield's contempol'ary
physical plant are seven residence halls,
an administrative-classroom buildi.ng,
ultra-modern Campus Center, Bannow
Science Center, School of Nursing, Nyselius
Library and Student Recreational
Complex, as well as the intimate Fair-field
University Playhouse and Drama
Centet' and the Fairfield University
Gymnasium, the latter the home of the
Fairfield Stags.
A new facility, the Center for Financial
Studies, Inc., was recently completed
on the south side of the picturesque,
rolling 200 acre campus. Funding for the
facility has been assured through a subscription
effort conducted by the National
Association of Mutual Savings
Banks (NAMSB). The building will house
NAMSB management development programs,
provide an added resource for
Fairfield programs, faculty and students,
and be available for programs in the
public interest.
The University also makes space available
for Connecticut Public Television
(CPTV), which maintains a colOT studio
in preparing local programming aired
over channels 49 in Bridgeport and 65
in New Haven. Here Fairfield students
and faculty, working with CPTV personnel,
gain experience in the production
of television programs.
The recent inauguration of Fairfield's
seventh President. Rev. Aloysius P. Kel.
ley, S.J. was an occasion of pagentry and
ancient traditions. More than 1500 people
watched •as delegates from 129 sister
colleges and universities and scholarly
societies and the University constituencies
marched in full academic regalia.
Father Kelley succeeds the Rev. Thomas
R. Fitzgerald, S.J., who is now the
President of St. Louis University.
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
C. Donald Cook
Don Cook is the Director of Athletics and Recreation
at Fairfield as well as the coach of the school's
very successful baseball team.
Cook has been a part of the athletic scene at Fairfield
since coming to the school as an undergraduate
from Mount Vernon, N.Y. in 1959.
He graduated from Fairfield in 1963, returned to
coach the Stags' baseball team in 1966 and was named
Athletic Director in 1971.
During his tenure, Fairfield has proceeded with
the renovation of its gymnasium, nearly doubling the
seating capacity for basketball, and the construction of
its new recreation complex.
In inter-collegiate sports, Cook now supervises
Fairfield's particiapation in 10 varsity sports, including
three women's sports. Fairfield this year is competing
in women's basketball on the Division ll level with a
full time women's coach for the first time.
Cook has been very active in the world of intercollegiate
sports in the East.
He is currently the chairman of the ECAC Base·
ball Committee, which is presently involved in realignment
of the conference schools for purposes of
post-season tournament participation.
A year ago, under Cook's direction, the ECAC
baseball committee worked to establish guidelines for
the selection of teams to those post-season events.
He also serves as the ECAC representative to the
United States Baseball Federation.
Recently he was named to the Met New York Regional
basketball tournament advisory committee by the
ECAC.
Cook, once an outstanding baseball player for the
Stags, holds a BBS in economics from Fairfield. For
two years after graduation he taught high school in
Danbury, Conn.
In 1967 he earned his MAin counseling and guidance
at Fairfield and two years ago he got his MA in
human communications at the Fairfield Graduate
&hool of Corporate and Political Communication.
Cook is a resident of Fairfield. He and wife Donna
have two children, Christopher and Courtney.
HEAD COACH
Fred Barakat
As the reputation of the Fairfield University basketball program has
grown into prominence in the East, so has the reputation of its head coach
Fred Barakat.
Going into his tenth season at the Stags' helm, Barakat has an overall
record of 136-99. More impressive, however, is the 55-25 record of the past
three seasons, a winning percentage of .688.
Among his peers, Barakat is very highly regarded. He is recognized as
one of the top motivators and strategists in the game.
For fans of Fairfield basketball, Barakat has meant winning basketball,
exciting players, prestige in New England and the East and recognition.
In the mid-60's, the program was beginning to grow under the direction
of head coach and athletic director George Bisacca. The Stags made a successful
transition from college division power to Division I respectibility.
But for two seasons after Bisacca's resignation, the program floundered.
In 1970, Barakat, bursting with enthusiasm and desire, arrived at the
Fairfield. Looking back now, his achievement in just his first three years
was amazing.
After posting losing seasons three of four years, including Barakat's
initial two years, the Stags surprised everyone during the 1972-73 season,
finishing with an 18-9 record and being named to play in N.I.T. It was Fairfield's
first post season bid as a Division I school.
The Barakat record reads six tournaments in the last seven seasons,
three times to the N.I.T., and three more appearances in the E.C.A.C. Regional
tournament.
This year the Stags will be looking for a hat trick
of sorts. When the ECAC first set up its regional tournament
system, the Stags were in the Upstate New
York Region and earned a tourney spot.
Two years later Fairfield was moved to the New
England Region. Again, Barakat put his team into the
event and the Stags' matchup with the University of
Rhode Island in 1978 was a classic college basketball
game.
Now, following ECAC re-alignment, Fairfield is
in the Met New York Region, and as always one of the
coach's goals is a tourney berth.
Among other Barakat achievements at Fairfield
include the school's best record ever, 22 victories in
1977-78, a team ranked at one point number two in
New England, among the top Ten in the East and among
the top 30 in the nation in both The Sporting News and
Basketball Weekly.
Barakat's 77-78 team set many a school records,
and was among the top ten in the nation in team
offense.
Last season's team was ranked number two in the
nation in field goal percentage, behind only UCLA, and
number three in the nation in free throw percentage.
Barakat's success at Fairfield was entirely predictable
considering his basketball record.
He was raised in Union City, N.J., and after high
school went on to Assumption College in Worcester,
Mass.
He was an important part of a team that would
begin the development of one of the nation's truly
outstanding College Division programs. He was captain
of the Greyhounds as .a senior and was a Little AllAmerica
selection as well as an outstanding catcher on
the Assumption baseball team.
Barakat is now a member of the Assumption
Athletic Department Hall of Fame.
Following graduation with a B.A. in History in
1961, Barakat (who also had a tryout with the Knicks)
returned to New Jersey to take up the coaching reins
at Hasbrouck Heights high school.
In 1966 he returned to Assumption to become the
assistant coach to Andy Laska. Three years later, in
1969, he moved on to the University of Connecticut
as the assistant to Dee Rowe.
He spent just one year at UConn before getting
the call at Fairfield, where he is now finishing up a
decade of outstanding work.
Barakat, now 40 years old, is a well recognized
figure in the community. Fred and wife Floren~ have
four children: Nancy (18), Christie (12), Amy (11) and
Ricky (5).
In 1966 he earned his M.A. in personnel and guidance
from Montclair State and he is now a member of
the Pro-Keds Advisory Staff and the Medalist Sports
Education Staff.
Last year he served on the selection committee tor
the National Coaches Association East-West All-Star
game and he is a member Of the New England and
Met New York Coaches Associations.
,I ASSOCIATE COACH
Jack Phelan
Jack Phelan is beginning his first season at Fairfield
University.
The 25-year-old native ot Hartford, Conn. is taking
over as coach Barakat's only full-time assistant coach,
replacing Brendan Suhr. Coach Suhr spent five seasons
with the Stags and is now assistant coach with the
Atlanta Hawks of the NBA.
Phelan, who played his scholastic basketball at
Northwest Catholic High School in Hartford and attended
St. Thomas More Prep for one year, graduated
from St. Francis College of Loretto, Pa. in 1977 after
playing four seasons of varsity basketball.
A 6-foot-3 guard at St. Francis, Phelan was his
team's leading scorer as a junior. He holds the St.
Francis record for field goals in one game, having
gotten 20 against Duquesne as a senior.
Phelan played for the Red Flash in the first Fairfield
U. - Boys' Club Classic, and was named to the All-
Tournament team.
Following graduation from St. Francis, Phelan was
drafted by the Golden State Warriors in the sixth
round of the NBA draft. Even more remarkable, Phelan
was also drafted and signed to a tw<ryear c•Jntl'act
by the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL, despite the fact
that St. Francis did not have a varsity fodtball program.
After being released by the Warriors, Phelan went
to camp with the Steelers, and stayed with the team
until the first exhibition game.
Phelan spent the 1977-78 season as an assistant
basketball coach at Niagara and last year he was an assistant
coach at St. Francis.
Phelan will be involved in all phases of the program
at Fairfield, including bench coaching, scouting
and recruiting.
Jack and wife Patty live in Stratford and have an
infant son named Kenneth.

record of 178-48. His last six years resulted in a record
of 128-23.
STEVE HUZAR

I I Stags' Outlook for 1979-1980
If ever there was a rebuilding season anywhere, it
is this year at F-airfield.
For the past three seasons the program has been
built around the talents of a guard named Joe DeSantis
and a center named Mark Young. Both are gone now,
playing professional basketball in Europe. They left
Fairfield as the top two scorers in the school's history.
They also left some big-.gaps in the Stags' attack,
and attempting to plug those gaps will be a young group
of pl1ayers headed by senior captain Flip Williams.
The 6-foot-4 swingman from Neptune, N.J. is the
only Stag with more than just a year's experience under
pressure.
Flip has been a consistant double figure scorer for
the Stags for four seasons.
At the forward position the Stags have a little
experience. Senior Barry Gunderson was a starter
last year, but that was his first full seaoon on duty.
Juniors Mike ~lazzi and Joe Nelson have held
starting jobs at one time or another, but neither has
ever been counted on to do a lot of scoring.
This year they will be under the gun, and will see
a lot of playing time. Both Palazzi and Nelson have
shown potential, but this year they will have to be more
consistant in their efforts and assume a greater role
in the team's play.
Gunderson had a very fine junior season, scoring
in double figures over the final 10 games or so. He is
a fine shooter and seldom makes any mistakes on the
court.
The situation at guard is similiar to the forward
spot. Several players have some game experience, but
other than Flip, none have had to take charge on the
court.
Rich Broggini, a junior, is the most seasoned of
the guard group. He was first off the bench last year
and looks to be quite a bit improved this season.
Sophomores Rich D'Antonio and Ken Daniels will
get more playing time this year as well. Their minutes
on the court were limited as freshmen.
The center position is much more difficult to fill.
Sophomore Mickey Herzing had a series of injuries
limiting his playing time last year, and he appeared in
just six games. He was still getting over a knee operation
as practice began. Senior Tom Macko played a
little as a junior college transfer last year.
The freshman may all be called on to help fill the
holes this year.
Spencer Harrison has been very impressive in his
play at the guard spot, Robert Jackson has shown some
rebounding ability as a forward, and Pete DeBisschop
is contending for the vacant center spot,
No. 10
Flip Williams
6-4, 195-pounds, Senior, Guard, Ne ptune, N.J. -
The Captain of the 1979-1980 Stags, Flip Williams has been an outstanding player
for Fairfield for the past three seasons.
He has been a starter since hls freshman season and has a career scoring average
of 11.7.
Last year was his best season thus far, finishing as the team's third leading scorer
with a 14.4 per game average.
The Neptune, N.J. native has been a truly outstanding shooter throughout his
collegiate career. Each of the past two seasons Flip has turned in a .542 field goal
percentage and he owns a career .533 mark.
Playing a supporting role to Joe DeSantis and Mark Young for the past several
seasons, Flip's contribution to the Fairfield success (a record of 55-25 over the past
three seasons) has gone somewhat unnoticed.
He will be the main man in the Stag attack this year and he is expected to emerge
as one of the top college players in the New York Metropolitan area.
Flip has played both guard and forward for the Stags, and he is a quick player
with fine defensive skills and is a good rebounder for his size.
Williams has a career scoring hlgh of 26 points, which he tallied last year in the
Industrial National Classic against the University of Florida. He also had 25 points
against New Hampshire, 24 against the University of Bridgeport and 20 against Duquesne
and Manhattan.

Maryland, playing now is his second season at Fairfield.
He played last year behind Mark Young as the Stags' number two center and
saw very limited action until late in the season.

Rich D'Antonio
6-4, 187-pounds, Sophomore, Guard, Lynbrook, N.Y.
As a freshman reserve guard, Rich saw action in 19 games last season.
He drew one starting assignment, taking ova- alongside DeSantis when Flip Williams
was taken ill before the Vermont game. Rich responded with a nine-point effort,
his best of the season.
With very good size and strength for a guard, Rich is aggressive at both ends of
the floor. He could be used as a small forward as well as contending for the open
starting guard spot.
D'Antonio comes to Fairfield from Lynbrook High School on Long Island, where
he enjoyed an outstanding schoolboy career.
As a senior he was considered to be one of the finest players on Long Island,
averaging 21 points a game. He had a host of college scouts buzzing after a 38-point,
15-rebound effort in a upset victory over a highly touted Malverne High School.
When his high school career closed, Rich had scored more points than anyone in
the school's history. He was an All-Nassau County and All-Long Island selection.
He played in a post-season exhibition game against a touring Russian Junior
Team and tossed in 20 points in 20 minutes.

Ken Daniels
6-2, 175-pounds, Sophomore, Guard, East Orange, N.J.
A product of the talent-rich East Orange High School basketball program, Ken
Daniels has the makings of a fine college guard.
He has good size and strength, is very quick with a fine jump shot. Daniels is
also a capable ball handler and tenacious defensive playw.
Kenny got into 20 games for the Stags last season, with an eight-point outing
against Vermont his best scoring night.
The competition for the guard spot left vacant with the graduation of Joe DeSantis
will be keen, and Ken Daniels will certainly be in the running.
As a scholastic player at East Orange, the same school that sent Kim Fisher to
Fairfield, Daniels averaged 15 points and pulled down nine rebounds a game. He bad
a career high of 22 points against Essex Catholic and a career high rebounding effort
of 14 against Orange High School.
His senioc year he directed his team to an 18-5 record and the championship of
the very strong Big Ten Conference.
Daniels was an All-County selection following his senior season.

Mickey Herzing
6-10, 220-pounds, Sophomore, Center, Pawling, N.Y.
A socies of injuries frustrated Herzing's freshman season but if he is able to stay
healthy this year he is a leading candidate to fill the vacant center position.
His medical chart for his freshman season included a broken wrist, two kn~e
operations, and a bout with mono.
Mickey was unable to play after 12 games of the 1978-1979 season. He saw action
in six of those contests.
Despite his setbacks, Herzing met the Oct. 15 starting date and his right knee
appeaTed to be responding quicker than expected. He then was able to run and jump
with near normal efficiency when pre-season practice opened.
A hard-working and enthusiastic player, Herzing showed the potential to be a
good college center in his few appearances last year.
Against Seton Hall he managed .to score six points and pick up a couple rebounds
and against Southern Connecticut he scored five points.
Herzing enjoyed an outstanding scholastic careoc at Trinity-Pawling Prep. He
averaged 19 points and 14 rebounds as a senior and guided his team to .a second place
finish in the New England Prep School Class B Tournament. He was also an AllTournament
selection.

Spencer Harrison
5·11, 185-pounds, Freshman, Guard, Waterbury, Conn.

A lightning-quick guard with the ~billty to both shoot and handle the ball, Harrison
averaged 29.9 points a game last year at Holy Cross High School in Waterbury.
He has the leading scholastic scorer in the state of Connecticut last year.
At Holy Cross he set new records for points scored in a single season (798) a.nd

Robert Jackson
6.8, 180-pou.nds, Freshman, Forward, Rosedale, N.Y. --
Robert Jackson will provide the Stags with a big, quick forward with outstanding
leaping ability. At 6-foot-8, with speed, he will fill a gap that has plagued the Stags
in recent seasons.
Jackson comes to Fairfield from Springfield Gardens High School in Queens on
Long Island. Last season Springfield Gardens rolled to an 18-4 record and into the
semi-finals of the Queens schoolboy tournament.
Robert averaged 14 points and 11 rebounds for that team, as he combined with
twin brother Treavor to direct the club. Treavor is now a freshman eager at St. John's
University.
Robert was chosen All-Queens by both the New York Daily News and the New
York Post, and honorable mention All-New York City.
A razor thin, sleek forward, Jackson has shown very impressive rebounding ability
and a fine jump shot from the corner.
Coach BaNkat expected Robert to be a valuable asset to the Stags as a freshman
and he could see considerable playing time.
In high school, Robert had a career high of 25 points against Van Buren High
School and 17 rebounds against Long Island Lutheran.

ECAC Regional
Realignment by the Eastern College
Athletic Conference has placed
the Stags in the Metro New
York Region for the 1979 1980
season.
F1airfield, which has been a
member of .the New England Reg- ~
ion for the past three seasons,
joins 10 others in the Met Region.
They are Army, Fairleigh Dickenson,
Fordham, Iona, Long Island,
Manhattan, St. Francis, St. Peter's,
Siena and Wagner.
Eight teams will be selected for
the Region playoffs, the top four
seeded schools will host first
round games.
The semi-finals and finals will
be played at St. John's University,
with the Region Champion advancing
to the NCAA Tournament.
Boys' Club Classic
The fourth annual Boys' Club Classic (Jan. 4-5) promises
to be the best ever.
This year's field will include Wagner and Drexel, two
teams making impressive strides in Eastern basketball last
season.
Wagner College, which appeared in the Second Annual
Boys' Club Classic (1977-78) as a newcomer to Division I,
has grown dramatically under coach P. J. Carlesimo.
Last season the Seahawks opened the season with a
shocking upset win over Alabama and finished the season
with 21 victories and bids to both the ECAC Met
Regional and the N.I.T. The Seahawks have four starters
returning this season.
Drexel, member of the East Coast Conference, rolled
to an 18-9 season last year under coach Ed Burke.
The Dragons finished last season in the ECC playoffs,
beating American University in the first round before
losing to nationally ranked Temple in the second r ound
by four points in the Owls' gym.
Baltimore, like Wagner a few years ago, is a newcomer
to Division I. The Super Bees jumped right into the fire
last year, playing a schedule with 24 road games at such
places as Rhode Island, North Carolina, St. John's, Iona,
Virginia Commonwealth, Loyalo Chicago and Boston College.
The record was 4-21 but the Bees have all five
starter-s back to battle an even tougher slate this year.
The Sbags will be looking for their fourth Classic title,
but it will be a very difficult task.
