.... TraYdllt.'
I wanted to write a discourse today. Something special.
Something that .....ould tie up lC6C ends and render final judgments.
But if one learns nothing else, he learns that final judgments
can rarely be made.
Discursive words becQme inadequate to express myriad
thoughts and emotions. For every man's a stage and every
mood within him becomes a diflerent player. And so because
.....e can say so much, and so little; because we haven't the time
or disposition to write a boctk; .....e take the luxury of rendering
random expressions. in the hope that somewhere they will strike
a responsive cord. For the \'en' fil':.'it ego-shattering lesson a
writer learns is that not tOCl, many people take him seriously
anyway.
I remembered quite clearly one columnist's valedictory of
three years ago that was a masterpiece of excoriation. I resolved
that mille would not be so, even though one learns that
there is nQ superabundance of justice in this world, and that
all too often might does make right. Those 'victol':.'i' who write
history are obiliged to omit many truths.
One learns of solitude and solidarity. FOl' each of us is a
picaresque hero, - detached in viewpoint from our familial
folies, yet very much a part of them.. One is amazed by the fast
cementing of alliances in adversities, and encouraged by his
developments of admirations for those, often close to him. of
whose existence he had been Qften unaware.
Four )'e&rS pass with noses to grindstones, with myopic
visions. Except for those rare Saturday mornings, or Sunday
afternoons, when, throwing back your head, )'01.1 lQOk up and

paslures. And this makes it all worthwhile again. We can go
on fighting and killing. spewing ignorance and hatred, breaking
each other's hearts time and time again, but a moonlit night or
a SWlny day make it all wqrthwhile again. I'd give a lot to
know why hope is so incorrigible.
At night. 'IbWlderstonn. Rain spattering on the sill, and a
shadowy figure moving to shush the window closed.

Same breath.
And It was always now.
Springing from the oozing fertility of a primeval rain forest.
From the strength of a loved one's enCQuraging smile. Laissez

What is Fairfield University? We who have been a part of
her life don't really know.

The £dlto"
Innes, it seems that the "Staa" bas
failed to inform the students of facts
which could ha\'e avoided the present
crisis. We assume that thla is not a
deliberate O\o-ersight by the "Staa", but
a prqblem that should demand attention.
We hope that in the future
the "Stag" will be a paper that
"prints all the views on all the news"
and will lead the school in improving
student - administration relations.

To the editor:
I think I speak for all the members
Q/ the 1964-65 Student Government
when I thank those who ha\"e supponed
our programs of action during
the past year. Our Activity Calendar.
Grievance Committee. Social Committee.
Academic Forum. Sludent·
faculty seminars. public forums, and
other innovatiQnS under our sponsorship
have been quite successful in
many respects. We may have been imperfect
in reOcclmg what \\"e thought
was student opinion, but student
thought had not really solidified until
April when lhe legislature unfortunately
was out of session.
We have cooperated with the
STAG's attempts to rePQrt our undertakings
to the student body, usually
referring information to STAG reporters..
Naturally. the Go\'cnunent·s fiscal
status will be made known to anyone
st!eking this infonnation, Certainly we
admit that we may have been more
imaginative in Qur working for the
Fairfield student and It should b<!
pointed out that currently legislative
procedural refonn is being undertaken
as well as implementi.nJ; other suaealions
that we have always eamestly
solicited.
It has been disconcerting. on the
other hand, to find certain parties
criticizing the government with innuendoes
and Intimations 01 negligence
and e\'en dishonesty. If such charges
are to be made, It should be done with
substantiating facts to the Student
Court. The most serious cha:rp we
have heard is that of (allure to upbold
the Constitution. which is wtthqut
basis. If any accusations are necessary.
they should immediately be referred
to the Court. OtIMWhie. -npidon
~hould not be created to undermine
the sludent confidence in the Government.
I hope that underclassmen, and
graduating seniors as well, will continue
to cooperate with the Student
Government in urging the impl'()\.-ement
and continued progress of Fairfield
University.
To the editor;
We attended the Forum "Campus
Revolution" on May 3 and beard many
stalements by both students and faculty
in regard to rights. privileges, duties.
etc. The students accused. the administration
Qf "ignoring STUDENT PROBLEMS:'
and from the evidence presented
we agreed until Father McGrath
stated lhat he had been working
on a conunittee conceming our
petition on Mass and Retreats. Apparently
the administration is working
on our problems, so where are the
grqunds for revolt? It seems the communlca'tion
Is the key word to solve
the many misunderstandings between
administration and students. What is
perplexing howe\'er is how a simple
answer to so gra\'e a problem could
ha\'e been overlooked by the adminls-.
tration? Why were we nqt informed?
In order to answer this question we
decided to see Father McInnes. We
were very surprised to learn tha1
Father has held regular Press Conferences
with the "Stag" and that
much of the malter discussed was
never printed.. He also stated that he
had regularly sent the' "Slag" announcements
of his activities which to
his knowledge l1C\'er appeared In the

Next year should prove interesting.
Ther will undoubtdly be
changes made in surface things,
in the appearanee of the University,
in the faculty. in the religious
life, in the curriculum,
and in the realm of discipline.
However, will there be a change
in attitude? If not, why bother?
It would seem that a summer's
time is sufficient to change
physical things. Will it be
enough to change an attitude?
Will it be enough to move the
University in the right direetion?
Only you can prevent forest
fires.

To the editor:
Stated quite simply. the purpo$C Qf
a unh·ersity Is to lead all who come to
her in the never ending search for
Truth. A student attends a university
because he wants help and guidance
in his quest for this Tnlth. Tvo'O basic
requirements necessary for any kind
of progress are mutual understanding
and cooperatioo.. Tnlth Is not CQlne by
easily. It involves a long and dltricult
struggle. It demands that we never be
satisfied with the here and now. but
constantly look and strive toward the
fut11I'C!.
We believe that Fairfield University
Is a true unh-ersity which Is fulfllling
its function. We don't deny that there
are faults. imperfections. shortcqmlngs,
voids. tellsions, and conlUcts in our
prcscnt situation. We accept these,
not as they are. but rather, as opportunities
for growth and development.
Perhaps Chardin expresses what \\-e
are trying to say in a better way. '"The
aspect of life which mqst stirs my
soul Is the ability to share In an understanding.
in a reality. more enduring
than myself. It Is in this spirit
and with lhis purpose in view that 'I
try to perfect myself and master
things a little more_"
We fimtly belie\,.-e that we are making
headway In our search for Truth.
At this time we want to say; THANK
YOU Fairfield University. We are
growinJt with you and thrQugh you.
Sincerely yours,
RUli8C1I F. Kellennan '66

To our I'eaders:
The last issue of the Slag for
this year was put to bed last
evening.
I would like to take this opportunity
to publicly thank
three members of our staff who
will not be with us next year.
My thanks to Frank Cunningham,
Stag Features Editor who
leaves Fairfield shortly to enter
Creighton Medical School .Frank
is to be eongratulated for Teceh'ing
such an honor, as he is
only a junior. Best of luck.
My thanks also go to Frank
Thompson who is going to Spain
to study for a year. Frank served
as News Editor this past year
and did a tremendous job. Hasta
luego.
Lastly, I would like to thank
Phil Sinisgalli, Stag sports Editor,
for a job well done. !phil is
goiug 1.0 study at Florence.ltaly.
Needless to say. the STAG
considers it an honor to have
three men like these serving on
its staff. We are sorry to have to
lose them.
Again, my public thanks to
all three of you.
A Year Of Fire
\Ve have reaehed the end of
the line. This academic year is
over, save exams and graduation.
It has been a long year. It
has been a long hot year. It has
been a year of progress in some
areas and a year of regression in
other areas. We have molded it
into the continuing history that
is called Fairfield University.
Through the course of the
past year Fairfield University
has been on fire, literally and
figuratively. Influenced by the
actions of others undoubtedly,
and moved by a feeling of frustration,
Fairfield students began
to actively display ther dismay
with conditions here. Unfortunately,
the direction of their actions
often veered from their objectives.
Also quite unfortunate.
was the feeling that existed in
the students that the administrators
of the university were eraming
paternalism down their
throats.
Tragic, was the attitude of
some administrators and professors
who lacked the ability to
see through the requests of the
students; to see that they seek
an increase in true education,
an increase in the amount of responsibility
rendered to them;
an increase in the ereative
realm of education through opportunitis
to do specific research
and participate in classroom
sessions rather than merely
soak up empty words read
from a text. If the professors
seek excellence in a student, so
loo does the student have a right
to expect excellence from the
professor.
What would happen if some
of the zany ideas proposed by
the students were to be adopted?
Suppose we had a student
J'ating commission whereby professors
were rated by students
and these ratings were used as
one factor in determing the professor's
salary? Suppose we adopted
a policy of unlimited
cuts? Suppose we permitted certain
drinking privileges to 21
yeal'S aids in the donnitory.
Would thse things improve
the conditions at the University
and aid the edueative process
we are trying to fonnulate? The
answer lies in the quality of the
student body. That quality can
not be detennined unless we begin
to offer alternatives; unless
we begin to make people face
the consequences of abusing unlimited
cuts, of abusing the privilege
of enjoying a few beers in
his room. Until such time as policies
are determined which give
the student ample opportunity to
prove himself and the worth of
his education, we shall have students
yelling and screaming of
their deprivation under the guise
of academic freedom.
On the brighter side of things,
this past year saw the installalion
of a President who has
opened up the University towards
the road to progress. We
had many act i v i tie s which
brought the name of Fairfield
University more directly into the
lives of many people - the
Dante Festival, the Liquor Sym·
posium, our many excellent Bel·
larmine Lectures among
others. It has been a year in
which expansion has t a ken
place. We have witnessed the
physical growth of the Univemity
as well as the gradual removal
of restrictions placed on
the students of the University.

As another school year draws to a close, let's
take a Quick glance over this past year and note a
few of the events that have stood out over others.
This past year the Stags have had their ups and
downs. The Soccer team played its first official schedule
and found it rough-going. But as it's been said
before ... it takes time. The Ruggen; did respectably
well both in fall and spling ... the Wesleyan sweep
· .. but then Ciacci's arm. In hoop ... a fine 14-7
mark that could have been just a little better, maybe
· .. squeakers like Holy Cross, Providence, and Boston
College ... but then there was Georgetown ...
and the ecstatic fans swarming the court ... and
players ... and Coach Bisacca ...
Now, the baseballers just aren't getting the
breaks .. _ though, the netmen really have a racket
going for them ... The trackmen have found some
of those hurdles a bit higher than expected ... but
the golfers are doing a great job out on the green ...
Yes, this has been Quite a year.
Next year, we'll be even better ... The booters
will have had that one big, important year of experience
behind them, and track and baseball are
both in the midst of rebuilding. The split between
rugby and football should prove interesting ... The
Basketball team power unlimited and heights
unseen ... Tennis depth and experience .
Looking back at this past school year it's
been tough at times, but successful ... More than
once, we've been pitted against bigger and better
teams and by sheal' perseverance and desire, we've
come out the victor ... then St. Anselm's ...
Some rationalized and attributed it to "growing
pains" ... others just watched from the bleachers
and spouted "apathy" ... We've done what we could
· .. maybe we could have tried a little harder, but,
no, not apathy ...
We've taken a big step this year in re-orinentating
our athletic outlook ... and we tip our hats to
Athletic Director George Bisaeca ... Next year ... a
giant step ... This means more support, more participation,
more effort ... then victory ...
Next season should be witnessing many more
fil'Sts. Starting out in the fall will be the initial Stag
'eleven' ever fielded, and from all indications, the
word is good. The arrival of football will add a new,
colorful blend into the athletic scope at the Fairfield
campus. As far as the basketball circle goes, we've
already been tabbed as a pre-season N.1.T. bidder ...
something long overdue.
We've proven that we can do it ... "the potenUal
is here" ... Next September begins another year
· .. Someone, dear to us all, said something appl'O~
priate at this time ... "Let Us Begin ..."
