I believe that the present
:Jl!:!thod of serving campuses Is
.he most appropriate for the
orfenses com­mitted.
For the
most part, they
are minqr dis­ciplinary
infrac­tions
(failure to
check·in for ex­ample)
and do
not call for more drastic
neasures than an early rising.
fhere Is certainly no reason for
$5 for a miss. When a student
nlsses a campus he should re­_-
eive an additional campus tor
~ach one he has faIled to serve.

'ot suffice, the student is shaw­ng

talnly, exceptions to this rule
exist, but the disciplinary p~
gram must be aimed at the ma·
jority, not at the exceptiQJIS. In
addition, students who reach the
age of twenty-one are legally
respons.ible for their actions; for
this reason, students who are
twenty-one should be solely re­sponsible
fqr their actions on
campus without being subject
to additional restricUons im·
posed by the school. All this
presupposes that the student~
Involved do not Interfere with
the well.being of their fellow

I would therefore advQC81e
a disciplinary program whier
would decrease the student re­strictions

gram Is proceeding in this di·
rection. As part of the large,

prefects. Monetary 8nes would
hurt too much and, besides, n0­body
would pay them. Perhaps
weekend campuses rather than
the present weekday restric­tions
would cause people to pay
more attention to the existing
rules. However such a weeken(
system more than likely wQUk!
place too much pressure on stu·
dents and prefects. Animosity
toward the s)'lltem would then
develop. Consequently, the pres·
ent weekday system Is the most
satisfactory. It enforces the
roles without being oppressive.

FAIRFIELD, OONNECTICUT
WHAT DO YOU TIUNK OF
THE METHOD OF
8ERVING OAMPU8ES'
A system used at Catholic
girls colleges and boys prep
schools has worked very well
here at Fair­field.
This is due
to the fact that
the Administra­tiqn
has done an
excellent job en­forcing
the reg­ulations.
S0me­times
It is more beneficial for
the school to receive five dollars
(or missed campuses. I admire
this "buy your sleep" policy, be­cause
It enables the student to
stay awake during his morning
classes and also gives the Ad­minlstratiQn
five dollars towards
our Student Union. Thus one
boy's five dollars will help the
en tl re Christian conununlty.
Some rich boys ha\'e been
known to sleep weeks at a time;
to them it Is just an off beat
way of making a donation. Be­ing
away from hqme, I am glad
to be living under this system
because it has taught me the
responsibility I need. Campuses
are parents In disguise. The
campus system Is to the campus
life what the buddy system Is
to swimming.

OFFICE OF TIlE 1U8T1CES
STUDENT COURT OF FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY
F.uBFIELD. CONNECTICUT
7 Febniary, 1965
Students A and B were brought before this Court for:
Attempting to actually break and enter a aa1d vessel
(vending machine) In Loyola Cafeteria on the night of
the 24 of November, 1964.
Laconic decision passed. down: 7 January. 1965
Thb CQUrt decides: That we have here a question of the
crlmlnal act of attemptina: to break and enter a said vessel in
Loyola cafeteria.
The enonnity and boldness of this action cannot be em­phasized
enough by this Court. Fortunately for Students A and
B this willful act took place on private prqperty. FOJ' the sake
of stressing the seriousness of this act the Court. without being
overbearing, will state just one of the several Connecticut stat­utes
In regard to this offense:
Conn. General Stat. - Sec. 8412 Breaking and Entering
without penn.issI(l1: Any person who shall break and enter any
building or vessel in the pouess1on of another ... without the
pennission. express or implied, of the penon or persons legally
in possession thereot shall be ftned nqt more than five hundred
dollars or imprisoned not more than one year or both.
Now to the case at hand this Court considen Student A's
removing the bBclc panel frqrn the vessel an attempt to break
and enter. This Court found no grounds to convict Student A
with intent to steal. Furthennore, Student A's own confession
provided conclusive evidence that this was not merely a case of

Ten students were brought before this Court for over cuttinS
particular cqurses.
In violation of: That regulation governing absences {rom sched·
uled classes as states in the Official Student
Handbook 1964-1965 on pp. 9-10.
This COurt decides in eight cases: That in an advisory opinion
:"- . to the'" Dean of Falrlield University y,.-e recommend that
these eight receive credit fQr the CQlU'Se (s) in question.
'Ille reasonable causes as stated by these eight students
varied from excuse slips from the Inflrmary to letten
submitted. to the Court from Professon claiming that
due to the method in which they take attendance there
could very well have been an error in regard to the
respective student.
This court decides in one case. That no positive opinion is to be
fQJ"Warded to the Dean of Fairfield Univenity. This In
no way means that we are recommending loss of credit
but merely that no additional infonnatiQn was sub­mitted
to the Court to elucidate the situation of this
particular Student. The final decision therefore rests
totally with the Dean of the University.
This CQurt decides In one cue: To grant the student a private
hearing for reasons, as he stated at the hearina:, which
were too p1el'8ODa1 tb be brought out in an open hearing.
Notlfl:catlon of thb case will be forwarded to the Dean
of the University as soqn as possible.
N. B. This Court would like to point out that even though
several students had legitimate excuses from the infir­mary
they tailed through their own nea:ligence to have
these slips into the proper office. And that a plea of
negligence at a future date will I1Qt carry sufficient
weight to render a positive advisory opinion from this
Court. It Is the student's responsibility to take care of
eat:h of his cuts at the time he incurs theJn.

Undoubtedly, there are many
forseeable flaws in a program
such as this one. Seminars are
usually reserved for the "elect."
Some will say the aize of an or·
dinary class prohibits the use­fullness
of seminar type courses.
Othen maintain that years of
preparation are needed to estab­lish
a good seminar program.
Since no delineation of classes is
made in upper division courses,
Junion too might gain from
such a program.
While there is much validity
to all of these arguments. are
not the potential rewards of at­tempting
something of this na­ture
just as rewarding?
The need for immediate ac­tion
in this area cannot be em­phasized
enough. The needs of
of the present student body of
this university differ little from
the needs of their colleagues in
other universities and colleges
throughout the nation. Present
day college youth is demanding
a deeper insi,ht into their field
of concentration. Educators are
rapidly abandoning classical ap­proaches
to teaching methods in
favor of newer ones designed to
answer these pleas for deeper
insight. Universities throughout
the country are emphasizin, the
need for student participation.
At Fairfield we have the
unique ability to arrange a cur­riculum
that will answer the de·
mands of both students and edu·
eaton. We have, we are told, the
most flexible curriculum of all
Jesuit colleges. Our proposal has
been made with the ho..Pe that
the DeaD will show jlllt how far
and bow fast the curriculum will
bend to accommodate the need
for the inclusion of a more ad­vanced
approach to upper divi.
sion matter.
In light of this, we urge the
Dean, in consultation with the
Student Body through the Aca·
demic Forum and with his Fac·
ulty, to study the feasibility of
establishing such a program to
commence operation in February
of 1966. We ask him to answer
the challenge of present day col­lege
students and educaton.

In grammar school, Sunday SChool.

that an oath is the lQ1emn act, when!­by
a penon calls upon AlmIghty God
to bear witnea to the fact of the

One of the greatest draw­backs
to a college education is
the lack of practical knowledge
incurred by the student, whose
learning is derived almost en­tirely
from books. The professor
is at a loss to communicate his
practical experience to the stu·
dent since penona) experience is
somewhat incommunicable. The
student himself must experience
the practical realm of his educa­tion.
How. then. can the student at
Fairfield gain practical knowl­edge
in his field of coneen­lratio..
while mil altendiDg
c1~? The answer lies iD a
more expanded program of sem­inar&,
designed to increase the
student's awareness of current
developments in his major field.
This program, by necessity, re­quires
the inclusion of all stu­dents.
We cannot dismiss the
importance of training all our
undergraduates in seminar type
courses by selecting a few su­perior
students to imbibe in the
rewards of such a program.
It would seem that the STAG
is proposing a very impractical
program to give the student an
opportunity to indulge in a more
personal and contemporary com­munication
with his field. How.
ever, our suggestion is, that the
stri4:t confines of a textbook and
the rigidity of a lrofessor's syl­labus
be remove in favor of a
more informal approach to cur·
rent (not classical) subject mat­ter.
Thls proposal refenl to upper
division courses during the sec­ond
semester of senior year, in
the student's major field of con­centration.
This would establish
the opportunity for all students
to partake in a seminar type
course.

Harvard and Berkeley are among the few universities where
the UDderg:raduates publish their own guides to courses and
teacber5. ~ students at Trinity College in Hartford undertook
a similar enterprise several years ago. These surveys are based
on cqnfl.dentiaJ student questionnaires, and it Is generally agreed
that the result. are fair and cautious. If these are amot\I our
leadin&' universities, Mr. Fischer asks why every college shouldn't
have such an enterpriae, and why the administration shouldn't
encourage it.

IV. THE Sf:.,.\O-ELECTlVE
CURRICULUM
1 am convinced that until
some major realignment is
made we will continue to re­main
second-rate institutions,
precisely because .....e will have
ch4'i(!:n to remain out of the
mainstream of American edu·
cational policy and method. a
stream which has clearly dem­onstrated
pragmatically that it
works and works well. We have
vastly improved. the student
bodies are better, our libraries
are expanding rapidly. we have
adequate physical plants, and
yet we arc still saddled with
what is In many ways a high
school conttpt of a college cur·
riculum. This rigid pattern is
holding us back serio,usly.
Let me try to be a littIe more
specific. The Princeton cata­logue
is an especially literate
one and perhaps a section or
two from It might illustrate
better the spirit and categories
of the non-Catholic college cur­riculum
that anything I could
"'y.

approaches to other studies.
During the freshman and sopho­more
years the student Is al­so
expected to complete the
foundation of his liberal educa­tion
by attaining prqflciency in
either a foreign language or
mathematics. He also has some
opportunity to examine further
those subjects that especially
appear to him, and to prepare
himself for departmental COtI­centration.
At the end of the
second year he selects a depart­ment
and during his last two
years concentrates more than
half his work within this de­partment.
He devotes the re­mainder
of his program to el~­live
courses to assure continued
brcadth as well a<; depth in
his course of study." p. 143
(62-63 ed.)
"At no point in the program
or study is any o,ne particular
course required. At each stage
the student may choose among
a number of courses, programs
'Jf independent work, or fields
for examination. and through­out
he has available to him the
reso,urces of an open-stack li­brary
and ot well equipped
laboratories. OpportunIties for
advanced COUl'scs and advanced
programs are frt'ely granted to
the student who has demonstra­ted
his ability either by college­level
work in secondary school
or by qther means. The Univer­sity
offers guidance to the stu­dent
In planning his undergrad­uate
work. But it also believes
in presen'ing the freedom of
choice essential to the develop­ment
of a sense of responsi­bility
towards educatiqn." p.
144.
I am not impIJo'ing, of course,
that such a system could be
appropriated wholesale. Adjust­ments
would, of course, have
to be made. But noteworthy is
the way It encourages flexibility,
specialization and responsibility.
fleged philosophers and theo­logians,
who.. besides training
men for graduate work and of­fering
electives as liberal sup­plements,
free to anyone in the
school. would also be alert to
new interdisciplinary challenges
and would bring to genuine mo­dern
problems the probing in­sights
Qf Catholic thinkers In
a way that is very difficult, it
only psychologically. for semin­ary
professors.
4. Part of this same organic
picture would, of course. be a
full fledged graduate depart­ment
in university theology, be­ginning
wHh a Master's pro­gram
and building ultimately to
a Doctqr's. This would prepare
laymen to become what we
might call university theolo­gians.
These would have a
great impact on Catholic cam­puses
and, perhaps even more
importantly, would be welcome
as Catholic representatives and
spokesmen qn non-Calhollc cam­puses.
Such graduate programs
would have an Important in­fluence
on the overall campus
atmosphere. However. this is
not directly connected to the
problem of the undergraduate
curriculum, which I am discus­sing.
5. A final element in the
"cathqliclzing" of the curricu­lum
is lhe tolal atmosphere of
the campus itself, &iDee it is a
convnitted campus, committed
In Its personnel. and committed
in Its religious life, offering
Masses. Confessions. Retreats,
Sodalities, etc., as a necessary
complement to the academic.
In brief, then, Catholic edu­cation
in college does nQt neces­sarily
depend on a cuniculum
rigidified by quantitati....e re­quirements
In Philosophy and
Theology. There are other and
perhaps e\'Cn better a1terna·
lives. and it so, then this opens
up exciting new vistas of ex­perimentation.
m. SOME BASIC QUESTIONS
I would like to go beyo,nd the
statement, however, that we are
not "secularizing" our colleges
if we glvc up some aspects at
lellSt of a quantitative require­ment,
and would ask why we
cannot reexamine the basic
structure itself. Thus, I would
like to ask a few questions:
1. "Why then, If Quantatlve
demands are not essential, is
our curriculum still so different
from that of 90% of American
colleges, a curriculum there
which has demonstrated suc·
cess?"
2. "Is there anything intrin­sically
opposed to a Catholic col­lege
having the "distribution­concentration"
curriculum as Is
fQund all around the country,
and especially In our neighbor­Ing
institutions of the Ivy Lea­gue?"
3. "It Catholic colleges, by
and large. have not as yet
reached the top level of quality
in American education. could
it be due to the fact that we
have mistakenly clung to a cur-
Without denying in the slightest that Catholic liberal arts c?J1eges have their specific p~oblems, methpds an? goals, 1 fe~1 th~t
in our discussions of educational policy we do not always take seriously enough the perspectives of Amencan hIgher education In
general and those of Ivy League liberal arts colleges !n p~rticular. . .
This is not the place for a diSCUSSIOn of the hlStoncal and SOCiological reasons for these remnants of educational ghettoism.
By and large the American Catholic system of higher educationl•••••••••••••••••••••••••_
has performed wonders and we should be ready to give credit
where credit is due. But we are now at the stage where mQre
Catholic colleges must begin moving or move at a faster pace
up onto that flnal. rarefled plateau of first rate academic ex­cellence.
I honestly feel that individual Catholic colJeges with great
potential. such as Fairfield, are being seriously held back be­cause
of the assumptlon that Cathql.ic colleges across the country
or at least in the same region should move at about the same
pace. It is interesting to note the number of things at individual
Institutions which once seemed sacrosanct but which .....ere
quickly changed after it was seen that other Catholic colleges
"'-ere making changes In that area. An interesting questiqn poses
Itself here: why is It that no individual Catholic men's college
has dared to break away and &0 otr in search of the slightly
offbeat but genuine excellence of say a Swarthmore?
There is, of course, much wisdom in not leaping too fast
lntQ uncharted areas. 1be point I would like to make here, how­e\'
er, is that we have for too lop&: been assuming these areas
to be uncharted when as a matter of fact the majority of secular
colleges have not only met and successfUlly charted them, but
In a number of cases did so a munber of years ago.
I submit, therefore, that It is a!>Qut time that without neglect­ing
the example and practice of our Catholic sister Institutions,
we begin to examine more seriously and even perhaps adopt or
at least adapt some of the fundamental solutions and practices
of the Ivy League Institutions. Whether we like It q.r not, In this
part. of the country, they are our colleagues and rivals. I am not
of course Implying that we have never looked in that direction.
But too frequently we have stopped at the secondary aspects
and then nQt always the strongest ones.
A comment frequently made at this stage of a discussion
such as this Is that this means opting for "pure electivism:' and
that this sort of fonnlessness is to be avoided at all costs. With­out
raising the spectre of the unfortunate Bosnahan-EUot debate
at the turn Qf the century, It seems to me sutriclent to say that
"pure elcctlvlsm" Is to be found nowhere in the leading Institu­tions
of the East today and that this straw man should at long
last be laid decently to reaL
All 1 am saying, therefore, is that the Catholic conununity
from which we draw our students and faculty (including
Jesuits) has now matured to such an extent and o,ur institutions
have developed to such a degree that we are now ready to get
tully into the mainstream of American higher education. Thus
1 feel that when we discuss specific educational problems, such
as facutly po.rtlcipation. we would search for answers ,not only
in the praeUce aDd experience Qf I*:ton CoIJese, Holy cross,
Fordham. Georgetown, Marq~tte and SL LouIs. but also of Yale,
Harvard, Wesleyan, TrinIty, Amherst and Princeton.
n, CATHOLICIZING THE CURRICULUM
Such basic questioning of our curriculum is now possible
for the first time because of the changes in the Theology and
Phi1~hy Departments. It is now clear that there has been an
at least partial abandonment of the "quantitative" approach to
"Catholic" education (i.e., one course in both fields in every
semester). PrevIously whenever the marked disparit)' between
Catholic colleges and Ivy League colleges as far as curricula
were concerned, was pointed out, the ready answer always "'-ent
SQ,lT\ething like this, "Yet, but )'00 see we're a Catholic college
with a certain message to get across and we can't handle things
In the same way. We have to have theoloID" and philosophy in
each semester of each ~..ear or we won't really be a Catholic
college. If we take them out, we might as well quit."
Well, we have already taken this· quantitative demand out
of three and perhaps four semesters and 'W-e are far frqrn
quitting. "-
The ~Ic problem therefore seems to be, what do we mean
by "catholicizing" the curriculum? This is the obstacle on which
curricular refonns in Catholic institutions generally founders.
Since the quantitative answer has already been weakened In
fact, let me suggest some other possibilities:
1. Our basic "cathQllcizing" Is our basic commitment to
the faith In all dcpartments and areas of knowledge. Granted
that certain areas, especially the scientific, do not directly im­pinge
on areas of Christian conunitment as such, nevertheless,
there Is frequently an Indlreet atmospherical influence, and the
fact that In Catholic Institutions the scientist is a committed
person, has a profound catholicizing inttuence. Non-CathQlic pro­fC"..
sors In Catholic institutions are men of character, committed
men In their own right. Other areas such as English, History,
Modern Languages, Psychology, Education, etc., nQt only have
a commitment In the person of the facully Involved, but also In
the academic arens themselves. Here Catholic thought repre­sents
a guiding norm, which, when understood correctly and
seen from a broad PQInt of view, Is an Influence that Is not suf­focating
but liberating. It liberates from the pettiness, the
weakness, the confusion, the prejudice of isolated human beings.
2. Our second "calholicizlng" influence will, of course, be
some sort of requIred. core Qf theological and philosophical
courses. I am not specillc here and say core instead of courses
in order to leave the door open for what I will say later.
3. The third wauld be the creation ctf. £. strong major in
both Philosophy and Theology. These would be staffed by full

CoUege students have many unpleasantries which they must
endure, and most recently at this institution one of these un­pleasantries
seems to be the Student Court. Theoretically the
idea of a court handled by students is not an attractive one, in
fact it is exremely risky. There are many instances in other
cqlleges that indicate the inadvisability of maintaining such a
court, M.d we aU know that the breath of our own university
was held in September as the machinery of the new Student
Court slowly began to grind. At that time there were many
complaints, and these are to be expected even now; but we
cannot allow to happen what has occurred at qther schools.
Complaints are easily turned to an attitude of hatred for the
Court and its operations. This in turn w:ill breed an atmosphere
in which the value of the Court wlll be reduced to such an ex­tent
that will make efficient operatio,n impossible. If the student
body has no respect for or knowledge of an organization it
brought into existence theD the Court merely overshadows in­dividual
students and all students when its purpose is actually
to serve the University and the student bqdy.
It cannot be denied that the members of the Court have not
disappointed us in these flJ'St few months. It has begun as a
tightly-run, well-controUed instrument of student government,
but this is not enough. Hard work and long hours will go. for
nothing if the one essential idea of service is lost, and it will be
lost if students in general continue viewing it as a threat. Our
Court from Its Inception has been outstanding for its pt'Qfes·
sionaUty and efficiency. We have witnessed careful management
under a mature and able group of judges and chief jus~ice, so
that the resuJt until now has put into the hands of the student
body an instrument free from usual abuses of other cqllege court
systems. It is somethir;tg we can so far be proud of, and yet why
do many still persist in a type of criticism that indicates inex­cusable
ignorance?
Not only has the Court done a very able job in its first few
mCVlths, but it has now given us an opportunity to learn more
about its workings. The referendum of February 3 is passed and
aUows for witnesses in the court sessions. There is, therefore, no
reason for anyone not familiarizing himself with the Court. If
we do not take the time to. find out the essentials of an organiza­tion
that we have set up then it is bound to suffer and we along
with it Thl" small efIol·t required for knowledge will eliminate
present fears and prejudices. that are too great in number. At
this time the Court's gl'Cstest enemy is misunderstanding, and
a case in point would be recent resentment by many students
to the Court handling Qvercuts.
:. When it became known that the Court hears cases of stu­dents
who are overcut In certain courses the cry went up that
it was not fair, that personal rights were being stepped on and
so on into the night. No reasons were given, no. thought applied
to the situation; and as a result the misunderstanding grows. If
anything t.his is a help to one who has not attended the required
number of classes because the penalty is not automatic, and
he is forced to. state his case before a group of fellow-students
with the chance that he may receive credit for the overeut
course. There was always the possibility o.l seeing the Dean
about this maller, but now there is the gr£!ater fairness of
recommendation by a body of students who understand the prob­lem
all lOQ well. The idea is the DeaD's, and it is an excellent
one, far from unfair or detrimental to the indiivdual.
I must admit that 1 had doubts about the Court in the
beginning, but there is no substitute for finding out what is
going on. There are no major complaints anyo.ne can make
about the Court or about the way it is being handled at present.
Those who take a few minutes to see for themselves wtll know
what I mean, and they will be doing themselves and the Schoql
a very large favor.

It can be agreed that in order
for a schqol to attain the afore­mentioned
excellence, it is
necessary to attract the highest
calibre of students. It seems
ideal that through a reputation
of academic excellence a school
can gain that recognition. This
would take, unfortunately. a
number of years to accomplish.
The motives of other schools
in backing powerful, big-time
basketball teams are variable.
Taking FaJrfleld as an indJvidu-aJ

need is there for a national

Streak At Elevenl 84-83
Now that the National and American Football
League Championships have been decided and the
1964 pro football season is history, it's time for both
leagues to take stock and assess their positions in re·
gard to one another.
For five years now, the NFL has attempted to ig­nore
the very existence of the junior loop, at one
point, in spite of a whopping law suit. But the time
has come for recognition of the AFl.. and more.
There are many reasons. First of all, the Ameri­can
League is here to stay and is rapidly approaching
the other league in the calibre of play and players.
The weaker teams are getting stronger as is the de­fensive
play around the American League. Players
such as Earl Faison, Charlie Henningan, Cookie Gil­christ,
Matt Snell and Mike Stratton are legitimate
stars and would be so, no matter what league they
played in.
Secondly, the recent development in the pro-col­lege
draft process, that saw, for example, four Okla­homa
players miss the Gator Bowl due to signing pro­fessional
contracts, are indicative of the existing pres­sure
due to the two leagues competing for the college
talent. This is a growing concern to collegiate officials
and to the general public and the clamor to end such
abuses will increase.
One way to end the unnecessary pressure on the
college ballplayer is for the two leagues to get togeth­er
and set up a rigid book of rules for the execution of
the draft. There is no shortage of talent. nor will there
be for the leagues to stem the tide of spending that
reached its peak with the New York Jets signing Joe
Namath of Alabama for a reported $400,000, plus
other considerations. If this were to continue, the lea­gues
would eventually face a player revolt, led by the
pl'oven, capable veterans who are making peanuts
compared to Namath's going price for his autograph.
Finally the fans deserve to see an AFL-NFL
Championship game. This game would put an end to
all the senseless squabbling as to which league is bet­ter
and would make more money for the league pen­sion
programs. Such a game is only a few years off,
and can take place as soon as Pete Rozelle, the Na­tional
Football League commissioner, decides that
New York has two professional football teams and
can support both, that Buffalo may be the hottest
football town in the country and that the American
League will not hurt the National League in any way.
There's room for both leagues, and neither is leaving
the scene-so they might as well get -to know one
another.

THE SPORTS DESK -
By Paul Hughes
With a month of competition
remaining in the intramural
basketball program, and the
teams in both divisions having
been well tested, the race for
top division honQJ"S has shaped
up as a real scrap, with no
The Frosh hoopsters are doing a fine job under
coach Bob Jenkins. The 12-1 record to date is im­pressive
and at this rate, they're a cinch to top last
year's 17-4 log.
The recent Boston College game in which the
Eagles slipped an 84-83 squeaker over the young
Stags, was a tremendous contest between two unde­feated
rivals. This set-back, estimated by newspapers
as the best Frosh game in the East thus far, gives the
Stags another goal to aim at next season.
On the varsity level, the Stags have been doing
a respectable job for Coach Bisacca, and the remain­ing
slale points to an optimistic close for the season.
The 'Red and White' meets Stonehill College Monday
night for the first of three home games next weeK.
Fairfield started the Slonehill clash in 1952, and the
9-0 record should be boosted to a clean ten wins.
Wednesday night will see the Stags take in Southern
Connecticut, which has managed one victory in
eighteen meetings, the initial one dating back to 1948.
Both these games will serve as tune-ups for the big
Georgetown clash a week from Saturday. The Hoyas
edged Fairfield 79-73 in a thriller last season and
again all eyes will turn to see if the Stags can reverse
the decision at home. After the Canisius upset, these's
no telling how far this scrappy crew can go. • • •
There has been quite a concern as to the conduct
of the Stag supporters at home games. If those con­cerned
would Lake a glance at some of the officiating
displayed, oue may be relieved to realize that the
reason behind this dissatisfaction is not due to the
typical "Stag inebriate," but rather a lack of "so­briety"
on the part of some officials.
On many occasions there have been fouls com­mitted
in back court play while both referees are
standing on the far side of the court just waiting to
call the obvious.
There should be a complete investigation into
the quality of ECAC officials by conference heads and
take a good look as to the competence of the refs.
True, a glittering generality should not, and in all
justification, can not be concluded from one night's
officiating, but when two fouls are called in twenty
minutes of play against a team like St. Bonaventure,
one does begin to wonder.
The following letter was forwarded to Director
of Athletics, sent by lhe Supervisor of ECAC officials,
relating to the Providence game:
Dear Mr. Bisacca:
1 thought you would like to know of the repOlt
received from officials in your game with Providence
College.
Both vet.eran officials reported that "This was the
greatest exhibition of spoltsmanship we have ever
seen or been part of. Coach George Bisacca, his team,
the cheer leaders and the fans were tremendous, Can
you visualize a modern game of basketball without
one boo or disconcerting sound from the time the
referees' names were announced to the end of the
game?"
