student government we need the support of the
student body,
I take this oppoltunity to ask all students to
support and take an active part in the govern­ment
this year. Tonight will be the first formal
meeting of the '65-'66 year. At this meeting,
your officers will relate to you what they plan to
do in the year to come. With this in mind I

have sul'f'ered unjust depriva­tion

extremely slow reader and wor­ried
about making mistakes,
Thc tutor recognized tremend·
ous potential in the boy but no
incenth'e to produce: he didn't
like to read, Mr, Huber re­marked
that he believed his
purpqse in the program was to
show kids that there is a future
and an educative process and
then, help them find the in­centive
to put the two together;
he was not there to try and be
a psychologist 01· to get involved
in their home problems, After
many weeks of working to.­gether,
the youngster began to
respond until finally, one day
he walked in to meet Fred with
two books he had taken out of
the libral'y on his own initiative,
During the one and one-half

Tbe Failure of Compulsloa
The time has come for us at Fairfield to realize the fuU
implications of the doctrines of Christian responsibility, Cree
-:ommitment, and love that we so Qften preach, For this reason
I cannot see how we c<tn compel students to attend week-day
Mass or annual retreat.
In doing so we admit either the failure of the catholic
training that our students have received, ironically so oftell
based C\Jl compulsion, or our own failure at Fairfield to present
the treasures and values of our faith in a light that would make
our students want to parlicipate in it fully,
The students at Fairfield are not hardened criminals in a
penal institution, nor are they products of an entirely pagan
culture, who have never heard Christ's call, For this reason, to
argue that we must force these students into a twQ-<!ay retreat
to reach their hardened hearts is fallacious. Fairfield has an
opportunity every single day for eight months a year to deepen
its students' appreciation of the Faith. By forcing them into a
retreat. to withdraw from the supposedly Christian aUllOJ;phere
of this campus, we only admit our failure and perpetuate it,
accomplishing no lasting good.
I have personally been \'ery much hurt to see on my own
retreats lhe attitude of those whQ were compelled to come. I
have been very much repelled and saddened by the action of
students forced to go to Mass, whose only thoughts are to sit
as near the exit as possible, to make a dash for the cafeteria.
1 can only imagine hO,w Christ must feel about those who reject
Him, But after four years, I can see no good that has come from
this compulsion, It is only an indication that in many cases
we have failed to inculcate true values and responsibilities.
Students who may wish that these compulsions co.ntinue,
because they are forced into a religious exercise that they would
otherA'ise ignore, admit to their own irresponsibility in religious
matters, an irresponsibility that is bolstered by the false sense
of se<:urity given by co,mpulsive exercises, They feel that by
going here their spiritual welfare will automatically be taken
care of by the administration, This is a completely unrealistic
attitude, that will collapSe when the student moves away from
our sheltered environment and into the world.
We must eliminate compulsion, but in its place we must
create an atmosphere oj. greater understanding of our faith, and
greater personal responsibility towards both private and social
manifestations of Christianity, We must emphasize and encow'­age
voluntary retreats and voluntary Mass, together with their
true role for nny man who is seriQusly interested and com­mitted
to Christ.
Christ's call was, "Come, follow me," He had no force,
except that of his own love, to compel men to do. so,

ago, during the '62·'63 academic
;year, two Sodalists and three
members of the Knights of Col­umbus
formed a group to do
social work at the Child Guid­ance
center in Bridgeport. The
idea originally came abo.ut when
two students attended a meet­ing
of the Northern Student
Movement at Yale to discuss
practical methods of aiding in
the fight for civil rights. Think­ing
thal the best way to aid in
this field would be to help the
people help thel'llSelves. these

To the Editor:
In his essay "The Sins of the Legis·
lators" Herbert Spencer attempted to
show that legislators arc morally re­sponsible
fQl' the laws which they
make. He argued that laws, though
designed to alleviate particular con­ditions,
do have a kind of momentum
which carries them inevitably beyond
their specific goals into society at
large. William James, eminent philo­sopher,
tells us that "there can be no
difference anywhere that dqesn·t make
a difference elsewhere." We are told
in the Gospels that as we sqw, so shall
we reap. In short, we have heard
almost ad nauseam that we are re­sponsible
for our actions because they
do have ramifications which we might
never imagine. Yes, we have heard
this "truth" expressed until it has
become for us a cliche. When will we
listen?

To the editor:
As the four years of my college
career at Fairfield draw to a close I
am possessed with a deep concern. a
con~rn for this university in particu­lar
and for Catholicism and Catholic
education in general.
Institutionallzatiqn, paternalism, and
empt~ spiritualization can only create
sh'allow, naive,- Inauthentic and static
views in a world that demands depth,
authenticity and the ability to adapt.
The system has abandoned the indi­vidual
and channeled his mind down an
increasingly narrowing path. The path
has become too nan'Ow (or his exis­tence
and his God-given potential no.w
To the Editor:
The recent report in The Tlm~!1 re­garding
the "forbidden books" incident
at Fairfield has sparked a sympathetic
reaction from at least one alumnus.
While no practical consequences can
be expected, nor, I am sure, were any
seriously anticipated, the dramatiza­tion
of a long-standing anno.,yance with
the policy of locking up books at Cath­olic
schools is in itself significant.
While enrolled in a graduate program
at another Jesuit university a few
years ago, I for qne always found It
sadly ironic that the library browser
could uncover any number of strident
ravings written by racist sociologists
from the twenties and thirties while
having to show cause (!) and endure
annoying delays In onler to read SQrne
of the major words of western culture.
It would seem that possibly providing
the ethnic prejudices of many Catholics
with a rationale Is less harmful than
readily allowing them 11 first-hand ac·
quaintance with the basis of Anglo­American
empiricism as fo.und in
Locke and Hume.
In any case, I think it extremely
shol·t-sighted to attribute to spring
exuberan~ a show of protest against
the air of intellectual "ghettoitis" fos­tered
by the Index. Certainly the
patent silliness of a kind of Easter
egg hunt involving books is no less
falUqus than locking up Balzac and
Spinoza to keep them from being
easily acquired by inquisitive univer­sity
students. Furthermore, attempts
to placade a legitimate I'6entment by
alluding to a possible revision of the
Index some day fail to provide an
honest explanation for the continued
"saging"oj books today.
Thank you (or giving me this op­portunity
{or making a little sound of
solidarity with the "pranksters."

To the Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity
to clear up some of the confusion
caused by my March 10th letter to
the Editor concerning the Bridgeport
Area Club and Its role in the Thunder­bird
Car Raffle.
In that letter I made an unfortunate
error via my choice of wQI1ls which
caused some hard feelings and many
unwarranted suspicions. Although I
did not intend to question the Bridge·
port Area Club's motives behind its
ietter to the parents, I erroneously
used the word "deception" which autQ­matically
implied deliberation and
malice. This was not my intent, nOI'
my belief. In fact, the Bridgeport Area
Club is to be commended for its ener­getic
and unselfish efforts.
Furthermore, I wish to express my
sincere regret for any harm my lettel'
may have done to the success of the
Thunderbird Car Raffle.
Sincerely,

it serve? Better we should dwell
fol' a while on general milieu
and trend of the atmosphere at
the University.
Ff'w will deny that this has
been a year of crisis for the
University. Neither, however,
will many intelligent people
deny that crises afford those
involved with the opportunity to
bring about concrete and posi­tive
results. The question ap­pears
to be. "have we brought
about concrete and positive re­sults
from our crisis" this year?
Unfortunately the answer has
been NO on most occasions.
Why then haven't we been
able to bring about effective re­sults
and mature decisions from
the cdses that we have faced?
We can fall back, if we wish, on
standard explanations such as
"they don't understand me" or
worse yet, "they don't give a
d-n" but it apparently goes
somewhat deeper than that. It
seems to emanate from a break­down
in the respect that either
side must maintain for the other.
The first step must be to rebuild
respect for the opinions of the
other party 01' we shall never
get anywhere.
There must be a break down
of the "If you don't like it leave"
attitude on the one hand, and a
bl'eak down of the "I could care
less about this place" attitude
Oil the other hand, if we are ever
to release ourselves from the
downward plunge we find our­selves
in.

The STAG congratulates Mr.
David Bannon of the Class of
1966 on his recent election as
President of the Student Gov­ernment.
We wish him the best
of luck in his endeavors to estab­lish
the Student Government as
a STUDENT body politic. We
also remind him of his duty to
carry out those promises which
he made in his program while
running for election.
The length of time which has
lapsed between the now infam·
ous library incident and this is­sue
of the STAG may perhaps
move some to say that we are a
little late in speaking out on the
problem. However, the problem
does not seem as topical as many
would believe, but rather one
of many which represent a trend
in the growing breach between
the students and Administrators.
There IS apparently little
doubt that but a small core of
adamant followers agree with
the method employed by those
"brave" souls who anonymously
committed a crime, a civil crime.
On the other side of the coin,
there are but a small core of
individuals who do not agree
with the objective involved.
Neveltheless, we are here
speaking of the illegal method
which was employed by those
who so casually represented
themselves as the "Voice of
Fairfield" in their fraudulent
press release. How presumptious
of these individuals to represent
lhemselves as speaking on behalf
of the Faculty and students
of Fairfield University to nation­wide
news media!
The Fairfield University Chap­ter
of the AAUP immediately
released their proposal for ac­tion,

It'lJ strange, It's so strange. What seems obvious to some
IlCOple isn't even regarded by others. In Selma and In Harlem
hundreds of CathoJIc priests and nuns march In civil rights pro.­tests.
This WIlS hailed as an indication that "now the Catholic
Church is really directly involved In civil rights." One of the
nuns said she was marching for the dignity of the human being
and the unity of man. By doing this they declared that they
support the whole civil rights movement with Selma as its
present symbol. They support the highly successful tac:tics of
the civil rights mqvement: orderly protests of civil dlsobed.ience
when legal methods have been exhausted. This means sit-ins,
marches, demonstrations, etc. Add to this the long-standing
policy of the Church In endorsing just strikes; that is, strikes
when there are just grevlances and reasonable certainty of suc­cess.
Add this and you have the picture of an organization sup­porting
man's basic hwnan dignIty and freedom. This is tq be

regulations. This Court was thus cqmpelled, for the welfare
of the entire on-campus body of students, to place bim in a
state of "dormitory probation." The stipulations of this
state, as indicated above. were most clear and there was
nQ. room for mi.s-interpretation.
Now in this case it has been brought to the sHention of
the Court that Student B. did in fact only three days sub­sequent
to the receiving of the original decision of this
Court. violate a donnitory regulatiQD by over-extending his
late permission on a weekend by almost one hour. Granted.
this offense is not a major one. but in the case of Student B
it does take on such a prQPOrtion. The duration of time
between this Court's first decision and Student B's fourth
offense being so short it limits any great consideration for
leniency .This Court has the responsibility of protecting
the rights of every student residing in the do,rmitories and
such total disregard for regulations can only be viewed
in a serious light. Therefore, in accord with the original
decision this Court sends the following recommendation to
the Dean of Resident Students:
This Court recommends that Student B, by the
violation of his state of probation as imposed by
this CQurt resulting from repeated dormitory of­fenses,
be denied his priviled of living on campus Cor
the school year 1965-1966.
Ll.'T IT BE KNOWN; The Dean of Resident Students has fol­lowed
the recommendation of this Court.

STUDENT A was brought before this Court to answer charges
of being on campus without notifying the Dean of Resident
Students. after having signed out fol' the weekend. In viola­tion
'if: Those matters customarily considered disciplinary
as Slated on page 21. paragraph 3 of the Student Handbook,
1964-1965: "The weekend permission is not to be used for
the purpose of returning to the campus after proper hours
on either Friday or Saturday
GARLAND. .I.: The first matter to. be dealt with here is the
interpretation of the weekend permission section of the
Student Handbook. The first two paragraphs on page 21
are so explicit that they do not demand any further ex­planation.
Paragraph three does require interpretation. This
Court interprets this sectiWl to mean that a return to cam­pus
at any hour on either Friday or Saturday, after one
has signed out for the weekend, constitutes a return to
campus "after proper hours,"
In this particular case Student A staled that he returned to
campus at 5 p.m. on Saturday. This Court deelates this to
be a return to campus "aher proper hours" unless the de­fendant
had notified the Dean of Resident Students. He
in fact did not. Furthermore, the presence of the defendant
on campus at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning clearly indicated
that his intention was to remain on campus when he re­turned.
This he did so state.
Student A did not fulfill his obligation tq make a reasonable
effort to inform the Dean of Resident Students of his early
return to campus. Student A. as the records indicate. had
signed out for the weekend. This creates the presumption
in the mind of reasonable man that hc will not return tq
campus before Sunday night. especially since he indicated
that he would not return to campus for the Sunday evening
meal. If Student A wishes 10 alter this arrangement and
l'Cturn to campus before he indicaled he would. the obliga­tion
rests upon him to rePQl't his presence. Student A ex­pressed
doubt as to his obligations in this instance. If such
doubt exists. the obligation clearly rests upon the one in
doubt to clarify his position.
The seriqusness of the defendant's obligation to report his
presence to the University is reinforced by the in loco
parentis relationship which the University assumes to the
student. The University is in the place of the parent. It is
charged with a parent's rights, duties and responsibilities
to a certain extent. Accordingly, it must have knowledge
of the whereabouts of its resident students. Thus the neces­sity
for the signing out prqcedure is demonstrated. In addi­tion
it must be noted that the weekend permission is one
of stdct honOl·. The University accepts the student's word
that he is away for the weekend at the indicated place. No
effort. is made to check on the student to see if he is at the
designated lqcution. The violation of any honor syst.em may
only be viewed in a serious light.
THIS COURT DECIDES that Student A is guilty of the fact as
charged. Accordingly the following sanction is handed down:
On the Friday and Saturday of a given wee'kend Student A
will report each hour from 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. to the
Campion Mail RoQrn. The 12:00 a.m. check-in will be con­sidered
the official check-in for that particular evening.
STUDENT B was _before this Court for not complying with the
stipulations of a sanction handed down by this Court on 22
March 1965. (Cf. Stag, 3-31-65 - Student B _ third of.
fense) That sanction ·befng:, NoUce: From now until June
J965 if you are found guilty of violating any dormitory
regulation, regardless of its minuteness, you will be liable
to the loss of your on-campus liVing privilege for the schoo..
year 1965-1966.

The h.llowing article by .lllmes Glammo, II.
Georgetown Senior. l!l rCllrinted from Stimulus,
a nmgwne published by Trinity, Georgetown,
Catholic University and Dumbarton Colleg~.
Where Nietzche Alive in this age of appraisal
(and I Cor onc am not certain that he isn't), he
would most assuredly comment thusly on stu­dent
government in Catholic universities: "Yon­der
is the grave-island. the silent isle; yonder
also are the graves of my yooth. God, and Slu­dent
government in G()(fs schools. are dead."
Due to the need for increased status .....hich so
many of us reel in these IlCrvOUS days of nuclear
weapon.., facial inequalily and "new Ice-Bluc
Secret" people have begun to "simulate" apprais­al,
that is offer value judgements in a wide range
of categori($ with which they are only slightly
familiar. Lamentably, this pocedure is sympto­matic
or our age, when only four ~:ears and
510,000 stand ix'tween rnan and consununate
intellectualism.
Admittroly, m~ appraisal (\1 student govern­ment
is "slmulatro:' I possess no real know­lroge
o,f the inner workings of student councils,
their elTectlveness, nor, for that matter, the
thoughts and/ol' motivations of student repl-e­sentali\'

the "inside": I write from the outside with the
thoughts lind criticisms of an outsider. My sole
claim Lo a \'ulidly based appraisal is that t am
a student who is represented by these select few
"insiders," However, I consider the opinion of
an "outsjd~'" just as valid as thut of an "insider"
when considel'ing such sabby complexities as
student government offers for analysis,

A dislinction should be made between the
grand.scale of personality cults and the numeri­cal
confmement of just plain "cliques:' The
aspiring student politician learns quite quickly
not to become associated with a "clique." which
is considered an unhcalthy sign for one who
intends to be all things to all people, The as­pirant
tends to avoid all social contacts which
might later b~ maliciously construed as friend­ships,
From the "heat" of these uselessly overtalked
elections, evolves a species totaJly distinguishable
(rom that brand of life that entered into them.
For, in order for one to be a "student" of politics,
one must realize that the pre-clection, opinion­ated
politician has become, upon assuming office,
everyman's timid link with the school's adminis­tration,
The one-time political theorist, who
believed in the possibility of etrective student
government, becomes content to fight (or cleaner
lavatories, student council holidays, and the right
to. commend deba.ting societies on their success­ful
efforts,
The Student Government, it turns out, is com­posed
of two types; first, those who have reached
the "top" of the political ladder. 'These are forget­ful
of their professed reasons CQr being and in­stead
become desirous of smoothing over ~'
"irrational balances" their more "immature"
constituents might demonstrate In the face of
that apex of deus u machtn.. an administration

who. while listening with more interest to stu­dent
needs and desires. ignore the more basic
ones in fear of being caught "tilting at wind­mills"

The more obvious cause of the prevalent in­eptitude
is cvident In the characteristic of catho­lic
university life which Inherently affects stu­dent
go,vernments; the feeling of overwhelming
uncertainty, The feeling Is a direct result of
the student's mental associatiO]l of his school's
administration (at least a part of its Image) with
unwaranted punitive measures. Not only students
at catholic institutions have been submitted to
moments or Immanent expub>io,tl or suspension,
thcre actually have been some cases of this sort
at non-Catholic schools, (One could cite recent
occurances at the University of California), But
it is th... Catholic student alone who. exists under
an axe that has vast historical weight. It is
flogma among students at Catholic universities,
that, while one might ha\'e the troth on his side
"The)'" jlL..t might act Irrationally in any specific
instanc,~. This fact is documented by a series of
relatab'e "famous decisions" which have spread

the ordinary student; in fact, the ordinary person
fights against such an Btmosphere of subjugation,
Howe\,er, he never expresses himself publicly
with any confidence. Rather, he keeps his
thoughts private, waiting to remit a resounding
cry of denunciation upon graduation, f'O,r "the
school," it must be remembered, has previously
held a key to his future economic, social, and
psychological success, The result is a four-year
cou~ in apathy, which affects the majority's
apprQ8.ch to student government.
Thus, the government existing on the campuses
of Catholic unh'ersities can in a sense be con­sidered
"non-student" since it exists primaril)'
for the fe\\ who are connected with student
government, These few aim at only the super­ficial
satisfactions of their positions, i.e. the pres­liege
and psycholQgical boost it gives their emerg­ing
personalities. The tenor of student govern­ment.

Another technique thaI Catholic administra­tion!>
hal'e de\'eloped is becoming increasingl~'
prevalent. It Is the "cooperation with student
go\"elTlment to meet student needs" pattern,
which is used IlS the basic Image-building device
behind re<:ent curriculu reorganizations In Catho­lic
institutions, These usually long o,verdue re­organizations
are a source of pride for both stu­dents
and student leaders alike, who feel the
success of acaclemic reform committees has re­newed
hope fOl' the achievement of an effective,
collective vo,ice. Actually, the administration's
respt'lmse is more likely to have been motivated
by a financial squeeze placed on Catholic colleges,
which must calch up with the academic advances
in the non-Catholic realm of learning or suffer
losses in enrollment. But this apparent "coopera­tio,
n" with student academic <,'ommittee has a
~ratirying calming erfcct on the ever-latent stu­dent
bitterness.
Student Government can only In a vague sense
be considered "government," Tn1e, there are
elections, but these elections result in everything
and anything but significant action. Student
leaders, if they are subUe enough to realize this.
say that it is true only because student bodies
don't show enough interest, and If and when the)'
did, at that time student government wO;Uld be­come
effective, The actual case shows that if
interested students did in fact take part, they
would only become more apathetic and pessimis­tic
as to the future of student go\'ernment, with
its present make-up or leaders, attitudes and
functions is, charitably speaking, inept.
This is not a chalenge to student gO\·enunenL
to impro\'e itself: I am no,t optimistic enough
to think that we're on any 50rt of threshold,
Student government on Catholic campuses most
probably lies in the minds of the unborn.

thllt there is {I general dissatisfaction
with campus life hel"C lit Fairfield.
The multitudc of flyers swept beneath

It seems ob\'ious to me that

criticism on their opinion which
would justify my ov.'n, I recognired it
to be most honorable lQ remain quiet
than to criUclze for the sake of crit­icism.
Therefore most Ignominious sirs

unrest on campus I find that I cannot

enough conviction in your protesting
to offer it to the proper channels as a

mention is that if you find life so
intolerable at Fairfield It would be to
the advantage of both you and the
university to find another Institution

The (act that we students do not
acl respqnsibl~· Is testimony enough of
our immaturit)'. HO\\' many of those
who participated in the food strike
asked themselves: Why am I doing
this? What consequences will it have?
Is there a better means to the same
end? How many. on the contralj.'.
hopped thoughtlessly ontQ the band
wagon in a III of mass hysteria? Did
those who broke into the: library evcr
once wonder what consequences feed·
irlg Ihe story to the press might have
on the image of lhc: schqol? On lhc:
academic rutu~ of prospecth-e grad­uates?
On anything? Did those who
hanged two faculty membel".i in el'l"igy
consider how they would affect the
l-eputations of their victims? If the)'
had legitimate gripes, did they take
them dif1!etly to the persons them­selves?
It seems apparent to me that most
Fairfield students are prqlesting not
for some legitimate end but merely
(01' the sake of protesting. This
further te:;tiftcs to our immaturity.
We. the students of Fairfield, are mem­bel'S
of a confused generation. We
know neither where we are going nOlO
why we nl'e headed there. All we
know is that we cannot be guided by
the traditiqns of the adult world: we
must be rebels. iconoclasts. Perhaps
the idols deserve smashing. but let
liS first examine carefully the con­sequences.
Walter Uppmann recog­nized
the same problem in his own
~enel'aUon and he writes in A Preface
to "I..ral,.: "While the rebel is in con­flict
with the established nuisances he
hilS lin aim in life which absorbs all
hi>; passions. He has his own sense
of righteousness and his own feeling
of communion with a grand purpose.
For In attacking idols there is a kind
of piel)'. in overthrowing tyrants a
kind of lo)'alt)·, In ridk:u1btg stupidities
an imitation of wisdom. In the heat oJ
battle the rebel is exalted by a whole·
hearted tensioo which is easily mis­taken
for a taste of the freedom that
i~ to come. He is under the spell of
lin illusion. For what comes after the
struggle is not the exaltation ()j free­dom
but a letting down of the tens.ion
that belongs solely to the slntggle it­self."
How wen Mr. Lippmann is de­S('
rlhing the :r<illlation at Fairfield!
We, the students of Fairfield, are
"under the spell of an illusion." 1'bc
illusion is our !lCU-dcceptio.n about the
degree to which we are responsible
and mature. Let me illustrate. A peti­1ion
has been circulated recently ~
manding the abolistunent of manda­tory
Mass and mandatory retreats on
Ihe grounds that it Is not morally
right for a college to CQmpeJ par­ticipation
in spiritual exercises. All of
us know that the real reason we
si~n('(1 thc petition is that ,,-e are too
lazy to go out of our way for SGRK'­thing
worthwhile but inconvenient.
Why dcceh'e ourselves into thinking
that we acted with noble motives?
Why deceive ourselves into thinking
that we knQw what is best for our
spiritual welfare? Why didn't the peti­tion
read: "We, the students of Fair­field,
feel that mandatory Mass and
retreats be abolished because they are
n royal pain ... ?" Maybe then the
petition would not be such a document
of Intellectual dishonesty.
The first step toward maturity must
be the recognition that we are Im­mature.
The student body must ex­amine
the events of the past few
weeks and prqfit from their mistakes
if they are to grow. I strongly urge
a re-examination of the mandatory
Mass issue in the light of Mr. Lipp­mann's
comments. I sincerely hope

It,. PHIL SIMISGALLI
As we witness ground·breaking ceremonies and
erection of new buildings prevalent within the past
few months, one sees Fairfield definitely moving to­wards
loWer heights. These new sights are an indica·
lion of our growth.
Let's settle on one topic, the Gymnasium, for
purpose of discussion, and note its role in the growth,
present and future, of Fairfield University.
1n the College catalogue, dated 1964-1965, the
Gymnasium is cited as having "... handball courts
and provides facilities for boxjng, wrestling, tennis,
volleyball, cnlisthenics and general assemblies." No
one will deny the fact thnt the gym has facilities for
Kelleral assemblies (the Presidents lnaugaration and
Fathers-Son Banquet coming to mind), calisthenics,
and ,·olleyball. Tennis only requires the net's being
stretched across the floor (but why did the tennis
squad practice at the Westport Racquet Club during
the winter months 1) and, anyhow, the outdoor courts
lessen the need for indoor tennis to some degree.
However, the wrestling and boxing facilities must
be hidden in some secret annex to the gym (say, the
Blidgeport YMCA). One realizes that the special
exercise and calisthenics room is the game room.
Boxing may be a little expensive to finance (especially
after renting the Westpolt Racquet Club for the use
of its courts), and if this be the case, why advertise it 1
Those who tried to initiate wrestling as a team
about a year back didn't get far with requests for the
purchase of mats. Why advertise wrestling facilities 1
All of these things may be remedied now, but
looking ahead, one foresees the University outgrowing
the Gymnasium. Let's be honest with ourselves-al­though
the Gym is a relatively modern structure, it
is definitely antiquated in facilities. As it is at the
present time, the Gymnasium must be shared with
Fail'field Prep to the constant chagrin of the Univer­sity
student who has tried to play basketball at the
wrong hour of the day. One only has to look back
to last season's Assumption game where hundreds
of home fans with tickets had to be turned away.
Or more recently, during this pass season, all the
major hoop games were a sell-out (if one calls 1500 a
sell-out) thus refusing these extra receipts, so badly
needed by the University Athletic Program. As the
basketball team improves and starts to draw crowds,
as it already has proven that it's capable of doing,
the Gym will not be adequate to accomodate the
demands of the crowds. Even next year, Director of
Athletics, George Bisacca, has stated that some home
games might have to be scheduled at the New Haven
Arena, where all the Stag followers may see their
team. As the school's own enrollment increases, the
present Gymnasium becomes obsolete. The idea of
travelling thilty minutes to see a home game is ridic­ulous,
although it may be a necessity in order to
alleviate the problems for the time being.
It may be wise for those who are planning the
future of Fairfield and its grounds to take a brief look
into the investment in a real, live field·house. It will
be needed desperatly before too long. One only hopes,
for the sake of those who follow us here that the next
Gymnasium is functional as well as artistic and that
ample facilities for all sports will be included in it.
