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
men decided on organizing a
tutoring program. With Father

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

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.

of our plight is well

While we are congratulating

to congratulate the Radio

organizing and financing its
operation. They are a credit to
themselves and the University
due to their long hours of work
in establishing their organization.

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,
calling for the expulsion
of the individuals upon apprehension.
What remains to be
done is another thing. The President
of the University also received
a letter from over 100
students. formally rejecting any
sympathy with the action.
We are tempted to go on with
a ringing condemnation of the
action; but what purpose could

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
highly praised, but then...

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..

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\'
es. I have never been inclined to get on
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

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

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.
therefore, becomes focused mainly on the
ill;grandizement of the "jn.<;.iders:' arrecting fellow

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
my doqr, the demonst.rations openly
thwarting the paltern 01 existence here,
and the cover of night effigies which
make mock at authority figures together
se-n.'e to dinn my lniUal reaction.
It seems ob\'ious to me that
Ihis is a )-ear unique In many ways
from others I have spent at Fairfield.
During my stay here J ha\'en't ai\\<

honcstl)' say that I have respected
o.ther people's opinion even if it was
not in accord with my own. Unless I
could face these people with ~trut'"th'~
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
who art' the catalysts of the present
unrest on campus I find that I cannot
accept )'ou no.r your ideas. I do not
respect your opinions nor )vur character,
since you ha\'e proven by your
anonimity that you arc not men of
your oonviCtiohli.
I fact" YQll with a challenge. The
challenge is that you identify )"OurseU
with further protest. that you ha\'e
enough conviction in your protesting
to offer it to the proper channels as a
constructive alternative to what you
are prqtesUng against. Also worth
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
more comforting to YQUr whims. Unless
you can answer this challenge
and begin to act as mature Christian
gentlemen you will only reinforce the
inanity with which I charge yOu.

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

THE SPORTS DIU
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.
