Aceording to Czajkowski the
project was greeted very en·
thusiastlcally by townspeople
He wished to thank everyone
who was part of the etrort,
from the workers to those wbo
contributed. The response was
much greater than anticipated
A party will possibly be given
for all those who helped out,
and the Legion donated their
Hall for that purpose.
This program Is part of a
nationwide trend. among coUege
students to demonstrate In a
tangible way their support of
the fighting men in Vietnam.
At Loyola University and Uni.
versity of Southern California
"bleed-IJllI" are being held to
coUect blood for wounded servicemen.
The University of
Omaha is conducting a letter
writing campaign to re-assure
each serviceman of support at
home. A cablegram with 2,000
&ignatures is beine collected at
Marquette UniversitY. Hofstra
Is collecting money for the purchase
of Christmas gifts to send
to Vietnam.
In Huntsville Alabama ''Operation
Sweet Tooth" used a
reverse trick or treat theme to
collect candy to send to servicemen.
An article In a Salgon newspaper
by Marine Cpt James E.
Carter, when he heard 01 these
operations, stated "It sure was
great to know the support we
are getting. The guys over here
know that it Is just a few Idiots
who are making the trouble and
that they do not represent true
Americans."

In other action, the legislature
passed a motion calling for
a change in the scheduled date
of recess for the Christmas
vacation - from December 17
to December 15.. It was noted
that many students depend
upon Christmas time earnings
to supplement tuition payments
and other fees. A:I'I arnmendment
for consideration of this
recurrent request when next
year's academic calender is
drawn up was attached to the
bill.
Ratification was given to the
constitution of the Young Republican
Club as was an appropriation
for the impending Wirr

news, editorializing, etc. This
program will depend upon the
number of people helping to get
the show on the air. The nonnal
broadcasting is usually limited
to the dorms surrounding the
transmitting room in the Loyola
bell tower.
Hoping that the Radio Club
will be successful this year,
Father McInnes, the University's
president, promises the
much needed nld to the club:
"If it is a service to the school."
Without the school's help, the
Radio Club might be met with
another financial crisis as It
was last year. With the assis·
tance of the underclassmen and
a large profit from another club
sponsored mixer, which Is to be
held in the second semester, the
WVOF hopes to make this a
successful and rewarding year
for all.
Overwhelmingly endorsing the current U.S. policy in Vietnam,
the Student Legislature voted last week to ask: each stu·
dent organization to contribute to a fund for the beneftt of
American soldiers In Vietnam.
The motion came as a rider to a resolution wbich unan-
, imously endorsed the United States' position In the Viet crisis.
1965 The motion adds to the growing campus activity and involve-ment
over the Vietnam situation,
which wiD be highlighted
by a politically non-partisan
rally supporting President John·
ron's Viet stand on November

The Radio Club has also been
pleased with the addition of
seven new members, most of
whom are Frosh. They hope to

club by holding a meeting on
November 4, at 8 p.m. in Canislus

the Mass.
But the real reason probably
is that we are in a group that
IS homogenized, a group which
is nominally Catholic and comes
from the middle class. In saying
this we are not raising any question
of economics; we are talking
about a mentality, an atti~
tude of mind. The attitude of
mind that refuses all commitment,
prefers playing it "cool"
and keeping an out always open
and an ace in the hole - this
is what we mean by middle class
mentally. It is an attitude where
excellence is replaced by medi~
craey.
This attitude pervades our
campus.
But before one can ask where
to look for a revolution to break
away from this situation, the
question of who cares about it
at all must be asked. Where are
Fairfield's students who are willing
to attempt to find out the
challenge of living in a religiously
committed university?
Our president stated in his
installation address last year
that "A religiously committed
university does not stunt man's
J{rowth nor blind his vision. On
the contrary, it expands both by
widening the base of learning.
by strengthening a man to (ace
the moral crisis of his time, prof>
ing continually the depths of religious
commitment that lie beneath
even denominational alle~
jance."
When is that probing going to

To The Editor:
Well, well ,well, sour grapes again!
In the last Issue of the Stag one of
;)!our staff, namely the One Small
Voice, continued his attack upon the
students of this fine University. He
says that the students here are not
concerned with the "Issue of international
importance" and that "we can
not sit back in our rooms content that
t..tK! n S classification makes us
immune to the suffering in Southeast
Asia," He also states that "It would
8Oern" that the political clubs were too
busy censoring the STAG to be concerned
with an Issue of International
importance."
As the President of a political club.
I refute his rash statements and defend
\ both the Democratic and Republican
Clubs as valuable assets to our community.
Furthermore. 'Those who live
in glass houses shoulld not throw
stones".
The "tiny voice is not a member
of any political club. He was not active

Did the administration act too
hastily last year when it dropped
mandatory Mass and retreats?

growth can take place when the
basic and central intellectual
problem of God is so treated.
intellectualism without recognition
of this problem is sterile
and superficial.
Perhaps the reason for this is
that the University is too Catholic.
Secularizing it could be
quickly accomplished by making
the faculty tum their collars
around, removing the crosses
from the buildings, and turning
the administration of the college
over to laymen. This would be
welcomed by many as a step
toward progress; some would
welcome it as a step away from
hypocrisy.
Perhaps the reason is that
there are too many priests and
theologians on campus, who may
have become too commonplace
a sight. There are many parishes
where these men are sorely
needed and to which they could
be quickly dispatched.
Perhaps the reason lies with
our religiously committed organizations
on campus. Should they
be forced to live up to their
commitment? The Sod a lit y

To the Editors of the STAG:
Your editorial In the October 27,
1965, Issue of the STAG touches upon
a vital principle of American democraCY.
that of freedom of expression. We
feel that your statement: "... we now
ha\'e those who. casting aside community
respect, \\."OUld turn that freedom
into license" needs further explanation.
It seems you are saying that a
person who expresses minority opinion
is taking license with his freedom,
and is thereby being unpatriotic. Such
Is hardly the case, for any student of
government wiu realize that the majority
is composed of many minorities
and to censure the minority would
destroy the possibility of ever obtaining
a majority. We regret that some of
the Peace Marchers have perhaps
created an impression of disrespect,
and we readily agree that some Communist
Involvement was present In the
Marches. However, we also recognize
that most of the Mardlers were conscientious,
patriotic, citizens expressing
their minority view, and we likewise
readily grant them their freedom to
demonstrate peacefully. Personally, we
commit ourselves to the present policy
in Vietnam; however, we are NOT so
INTOLERANT as to condemn any contrary
opinions.

SPIRITUAL APATHY?
To the Editor
Mr. O'Sullivan:
I wish to express my reactions to
your well-written article 00 A Limn.
This ahall be difficult Cor me because
I consider it to be based on noble
motivation while at the same time I
disagree with Itj so please be patient
with my criticism.
You wrote of "poor" J. Ramsey
McDonald and of Bertrand Russell.
You tell us to "pity" them when you
really wish to exact from us a quiet
admiration [or their beliefs and actions..
I do admire their separating
themselves from their political party
with true conviction. And I admire
your valid appreciation of their virtue
and courage. But when you write concerning
the U.S. government's position
toward her ally Britain, you are treadina
on very thin Ice as far as substantial
proof, You wrote, "It is to question
our moral right to create 8ubserviant
satellites throughout the world. unable
to think or act without Washington's
approval". This statement would make
us believe that you have complete and
absolute {ael before you concerning
this matter. If you do, please infonn
us. It is very necessary for not only
the understanding of the article but for
the believing and appreciating of it.
'nlen. you go on with your "pities"
to David Miller. Again I must caution
you in your statements which are left
for us to swallOW' without sufficient
proof. And In this case. if you could
give me proof. I would add you to
my list of saints or make you my rerisen
Christ. For you state, 'This is an
unfortunate young man, although II
Catholic, attempted to preach and
practice O1risUanity at a time when
it Is unpopular and illegal". One thing,
how do you know what O1ristianity
is when Its potential hasn't been
either felt nor In.Ily undentood; and.
second. what great authority rests on
your shoulder that gives you the right
to the knowledge to tell us our country
has lost the Christian ethic? Also, I'm
wondering if you mean that CathollcIsm
is opposed to OUistianity by your
"although a Catholic".
Going farther into your article. I
must say that I agree with the last
statement "We must be far more
wary of those who unconsclously judge
and condemn than of the few who
question; but I'll agree nly If you
can also include It to say that we must
be far more wary of those few who

Isidore Pig Is a member of the New Breed His years at
Animal Farm bear their mark upon him, for he is now almost
human. He has made full use of the bath and well recognizes
Its merits. Unfortunately his semi-human state has clouded
his mind: he can no longer distinguish between animals and
men. His rapidly approaching humanity has taken him by
surprise; he realizes in his own experience the good of responsibility,
free commitment, and love, but he fails to realize that
the animals who have not had his experience cannot feel as
he does. He is shocked that baths are still required at the
fann, especially since he now bathes of his own accord and
likes it better that way. The spark of Indignation bursts into
dame within him, and honesty compels him to set about
remedying the situation.
He draws up a petition which states his objections to I~-----------the
required baths. The petition is signed by six hundred
animals and handed over to the men In charge of the farm,
whose own honesty compels them to reject It. An atmosphere
of bitterness and distrust now pervades Animal Fann.
Ttme, FaD, 1966
The Grand Fanner on the boot-shaped peninsula has
proclaimed that making baths mandatory is against the
nature of the bath. In compliance with his wishes, the directors
of AnImal Farm have waived almost all regulations

11Ie lights are burning brightly in the big house which
now overlooks the £rOUnds of Animal Fann.. It is well past
midniaht and a controversy is raging between the conservaUvt'
and liberal factins of the founding fanners. One of the
more conservative members rises from his seat and ad<ir'essei
the aatherin:
"Gentlemen, need I remind you that what I am about
to say has stood the test of the four hundred years our
family has been in this business? We all agree that our
function is to direct the animals under our tutelage that they
mi£ht become human beings. We further agree that one of
our most etrective Instruments In bringing about this tranformation
is the bath. UDlIllu _ -.lmal bathe regularly, rt

But before he can fonn the following word, one of the
liberals springs into action with an impassioned rebuttal:
"I agree with you on the efficacy of the bath in accompllshina:
our desired ends. But I taLI to lee bow by requiring
the animal. to bathe, how by forctng them agalnAt their wiD,

And so the dispute continues until one sane voice seizes
the floor:
"Gentlemen, in a short whUe the sun will rise and we
shall have accomplished nothing. It seems clear that there
is truth on both sides of the Issue. In view of this, let me
pl"OfXlSe the following compromise. I suggest that we require
the animals to bathe twice a week for their first two years
at the farm and that for the succeeding two years we leave
their attendance at the bath up to their own discretion."

be an "after the tact" philosopher.

was one club, not the other two. That

In conclusion, those with a "n s

much more. II will be a pleasure to

To the Editor:
It is evident that every letter of
redress submitted to the STAG concems
the increasingly TC!Current problem
of Editorial Responsibility. Last
week. the Pl].ilosophy Club requested
that the STAG simply print information
notifying all interested students
of the club's first organizational meeting.
Needless to say, such infonnatioll
was not published. The STAG is the
one priviledged campus organization
granted with the sacred duty of imparting
student communication. and
in deference to this duty, all like imfonnation
ought to take priority over
01 her articles.
H. as seems evident, the STAG is
incapable of effecting this duty, it
ought to relinquish it, and allow a
second paper 01' organization to assume
such responsibility, so that the students
of Fairfield may judge for themselves
whether or not what the STAG
itself terms as so much "informational
trivia" is really such! While it is true
that the STAG is a creative journal,
as well as a communicatlve one. discretion
ought to be directed by purpose
and obligation.
Sincerely.

Voice Too Loud
To the Editor:
f,.ast week a second "call to responsibility"
was uttered on campus. As
the original "caller" of two weeks ago
I feel it is my duty to stand up and
keep the ranks of "callers" clean of
un-qualified "callers". .I hope I am
making myself clear. I do hope ',Ve will
not have another "call to relu>onslbility"
calling lor more responsibility
among those (myself) who are calling
lor responsibility among those (the
coh.imn) who are making such additional
"calls to responsibility". Now to
proceed.
It seems that a column named One
Small Voice is crying out that political
cal clubs on campus should show more
(I almost hate to use the wonl) .
responsibility In their actions. In other
words we should be responsible in not
calling the STAG irresponsible, and
we should take a bigger role in protesting
the protesters.
But what makes the advice of this
one small voice more interesting is the
fact that it is given to us - the political
clubs, as if it were advice coming
from a detached and omniscient deity
- from Ihat "great typewriter in the
sky:" For we kno\\( (the political clubs)
that the advice doesn't come from
someone involved in the political life
on campus.
It would seem that if a "voice" is
10 give advice. and if that "voice"
expects to be listened to. then that
"voice" should not merely talk empty
words. That "voice" should have n
committed person behind it.

Respectfully yours,
Glenn GramiRna
The general attitude, or non-attitude,
·on this campus toward U.S. policy in
South Vietnam is a testimony to the
staid, lethargic state of mind that
seems to have settled like a shroud on
the student body this year. Whatcver
statements, formal or infonnal, that
have been made are surprising, and
for me shocking, in their uncritica.l
llalure. I wish to present some illustrations
and raise some specific points
in regard to recent student action and
inactin n the problem of Vietnam.
] I The signing of the petition of
endorsement of U.S. policy in South
Vietnam initiated by Cesare DeIVagiio
was a conservative reflex response to
the not so staid demonstrations of
concern and protest held recently in
New York and other cities acl'oss the
country. The statement was weak
coming from an academic community
because it backed U.S. policy completely
and uncritically. It was not critical
of the demonstrations; it dismissed
them. It upheld the principle of the
l'ight to dissent, but, in effect, it censured
the actual dissenting - the "socalled
teach-ins and various other displays."
Censure Means Little
Students are questioning our government's
pollcy. And they structure this
questioning dramatically in the form of
l}ublic protests and parades" As a
responsible academic community we
must seek to answer the questioning
of our society by those in our society.
I t accomplishes nothing to censure.
We havc no educative forums on Vietnam
at Fairfield; hence the petition
seems a vacuous gesture. How many
who signed really understood the problem
of Vietnam? How many have attempled
to become thoroughly acquainted
with our government's policy?
Why not a forum symposium on Vietnam
al Fairfield?
2) The Student, LegiFJlatuNl l\fcetIng
(m October 2S "oted "unanlmousty lUld
WiHl tlnl'lltlslusm" to back the Del
Vagllo Iwtltlon. But the mechanics of
,this VOUll)::" were l\ 1.1111111 farce. The
student who IlrUllOscd the bill said t.hat'
it Willi our dllt)· a!l citizens to endoMie
th(' government's lIollcy. There was no
diuent: the unanimous "ayo's" were
tallj,,'11id. Theil another leglslntor moved
that because of the mlture of thc issue,
it should go on recom llS hnvlng been
P:1S9oCd "with enthUlllllsm." Again, thl'
unanimous "!lye's" were languid.
The 'Closed' Open Forum
It had been advertised that there
would be an open student forum on the
Vietnam bill. This was the open fonlm:
Before the meeting the chainnan asked
if any of the students present had anything
to say about any of the bills on
the agenda. The meeting had not yet
started, so no debate had ensued: and
there were no Introductory remarks on
the subject of the open forum - the
bill on Vietnam. It is difficult to say
anything in a vacuum. Before any of
the ten students present could organize
their thoughts for a statement, the
open forum was ended and the meeting
began.
Because of its nature, the Student
Legislature acts for the students its
constituents. No attempt was made
to solicit from its constitutents an accurate
opinion for or against the bill,
except the advertising of the forum.
(Perhaps the student body is nol interested.
Only ten students showed up.)
But the point is that the Legislature
in this issue can only claim to speak
for itself as a closed organization.
3) The cartoon by Delisa in the
STAG of October 27 is a piece of distOI'ling
chauvinism as emolioonal in its
appeal as the propaganda of our far
left students. The use of Nathan Hale
in this situation was a bit anachronistic.
And it resembled far-rightist attempts
to deny in general the integrity
of American pacifism.
Christian Yoice
Somewhere, somehow in this univer~
sity a Christian voice must be raised
on the morality of war - any war in
the world today. We are ostensibly
Chl'istian in commitment, and on a
matter as grave as warfare in the
modern world we should be in tune
with Vatican II in its debates on this
issue. Strong voices in the Council cry
that the doctrine of a just war does
not exist any more - considering the
nalure of m<X1ern weapons and the
irrationality of men and countries
during warfare. Perhaps concrete circumstances
prevent the U.S. from withdrawing
from Vietnam. But as Christians
faced with war, we cannot unhesitatingly,
unquestioningly, uncritically,
and blindly endorse warfare.
The sentiment expressed on campus so
far comes dangerously close to doing
lhat. God is not on our side. He is
not on the side of the Viet Cong. He
is on the side or peace. In our efforts
to incarnate Christ in the world, we
cannot back a war policy uncritically
- any policy, "theirs" or ours. David
Miller's act was illegal. But its symbolism
is clear and challenging. We
should ask ourselves what the war in
Vietnam means for our Christian consciences.
The answer will be dilTicult
in coming. But this is better than s0porific
pledges of allegiance to our country
right or wrong.

"The Bedfol'd Incident," ba::icd
on Mark Rascavich's best-selling
novel, was co-produced by
James Harris and Richard Widmark.
Richard Widmark -heads

with brC'aking points. whilc
sheer exhaustion and thc thrill
of the "hunt" add conf:lant tension.
Widmal'k bases his chase for
the kill on the familiar adage
"If deterl·enee is ~uccessful, aggz'Cssion
will not. take place:'
This cold war philosophy depends
on determined deterrence.
hut Widmal'k adds man's indiv'dual
mania for "the hunt:'
A NATO German ex-sub·
marine commander. Commodore
Wolfgang Schrepke. noted fOI'
his calculated destruction of
Allied shipping during World
Wal' 11, is also aboard the BC'dford.
He sees through Widmark's
driving quest fOI' perfection,
and tries to stop the continued
stalking of a Rusinn
submarine which has violated
Greenland - Danish territorial
waters. However, \Vidmark is
the captain and the German
knows he must follow ordel's.
Ben Munccford ISidney Poitierl
adds a civilian view to
this perfect ship. He questions
the captain's detl'rmination only

His observation "F.\·f"~:,·bod.\' co·
operates. but noootl)' lalk.s,"
epitomizes Widmark's psycho·
logical grip on the eJ'{'w and
officers.
Altogether James Harris has
done brilliant casting. creative
directing, and excl'llelll pJ'()(iu(.'ing,
presenting an accurate picture
of tOOay's technolog'ical
Navy. In an interview with Mr.
Han'is this writer questioned
the lack of symbolism. H'" replied
that while the"e wasn'l

ence from a stage whose scenery
changes only from act to
act. The appeal of opera resides
obviously in its mu~ic. bath
vocal and orchestral, and secondarily
in its costuming and
teehnicalities of lll"csentation.
The cinema, on the other
hand. is vast and expensive.
It is not limited to t\Vo or
three changes of scenery. nor
must it be responsive to the
demands of a live audience.
The idea of merely lHm!ng a
live perfonnance at La Scala
as if one were producing a motion
picture without compensa·
ting for the lack of visible
orchestra or the spontaneous
response of an audience is selfcontradictory
in thcory and
self-defeating in practice.
Thus. despite the perfection
of the sound emanating from
the vocal cords of the prima
donna, the c1ose-\lps of her
mouth would be an orthodontist's
nightmare. Again, were
it not for the excellence of th~
music. the lack of action and
the constancy of scenery in all
but Act II would have prompted
several visits to the candy eoun~
tel'. Indeed Act II alone makes
the opera worth seeing. But
if the reader is willing to pass
up a half hour of good visual
entertainment, It would be far
more to his advantage to invest
the high price of the ticket
toward the purchase of the

such external perception· is one
from which John Coltrane

with few exceptions. on the
"Riverside" label (his "Evans

However, Evans' one attempt
at popular national acceptance
came in ]963 with his
relcase of the "Sweet September"
single. Actually. it is just
as \Veil that this record did not
reach large selling proportions.
The unwieldly beat of the number
falls into a dissonant "Holy

Fatalities are one of the prime objections to
boxing due to the deaths of such fighters as Benny
"Kid" Paret, Davey Moore and most recently Sonny
Banks. And these were no bums either. The first two
men were champions while the third was a heavyweight
contender, But. over all, the amount of deaths
in proportion to the fights which take place every
year is actually trivial.
The latest solution to the growing criticism of
boxing is federal control and indeed it makes a lot of
sense. Strong federal control of the sport could put it
back on its feet but thus far Congressional measures
have been half-hearted and unrealistic. So the fate of
boxing is in the fists of the fighters and at present the
up·coming Clay-Patterson fi~ht looms as extremely
important. This fight will either give boxing a much
needed shot in the ann or nail the lid to the coffin.
One thing is for sure. Any fight in which Floyd Patter.
son partakes will be legitimate.
Today, we are living in the
midst of a revolution. a population

lower divisions are loaded with superb talent. Names
like Emile Griffith. Flash E10rde and Eder Jofre will
go down in boxing history but for the most part these
fighters are popular abroad and in the United States
it is the heavyweight fiasco which remains in the
spotlight.
Outside of being the youngest man to win the
heavyweight title and the only man to regain it, Floyd
Patterson's seven year reign in boxing was lackluster
but respectable. In 1963 he lost his crown to Charles
"Sonny" Liston via a one round knockout and all of a
sudden tremendous pressure came to bear on the
boxing world.
Sonny Liston, an ex·con turned fighter, had a
record a mile long and just as many friends in the
underworld. As heavyweight champion he was not
easily or readily accepted. But everyone was on his
side at Miami in 1964 when he met young Cassius
Clay, the loud·mouthed braggard from Louisville, for
the heavyweight litle. The fight was a gross disap·
pointment as Liston sat on his stool at the end of the
seventh round claiming an alleged shoulder injury
and the title changed hands. In the return bout this
year Clay "chopped" Liston down in one round with
a combination karate-punch while shouts of "fix"
echoed throughout the arena at Lewistown, Maine.

Pro Boxing'. Fate:
A Heavyweight Issue
Professional boxing once represented a great tradition
in American sports and if you didn't know who
Jack Dempsey. Joe Louis or Rocky Marciano were
you just weren't American. These were the "golden
days" in boxing and they lasted from the beginning
of the century until one day in 1955 when Rocky Marciano,
the only undefeated heavyweight champion in
history, announced his retirement from the ring. Boxing
has never been as glamorous or popular since.
There are eight divisions in boxing from heavyweight
to flyweight, but as far as boxing's image is
concerned the heavyweight division alone is significant.
As they say in boxing circles, "As the heavyweight
division goes, so goes boxing." And since boxing
is no longer synonymous with the reroes mention·
ed above, but rather with underworld influence, fatalities,
banishment of federal control, and lack of
talent we look to the heavyweight ranks for the reason
why boxing has fallen from the limelight of
American sport in the last decade,

Campion 2 remains the only

Regis 3, 6-0 in a hard-fought,

Campion 2 took the opening

the ball down field to the Regis

was a screen pass to Bill Palmer
from Paul Garstka. Palmer
sprinted down the field, but was
tagged by the Regis safety.
Regis 3 rose to the occasion and

Campion was constantly in position

Both teams came back with
added spirit for the second half.
After battling back and forth
the Stags broke the stalemate
as Kevin Looser headed a corner
kick past the Crusader
goalie for a 2"() lead. The Cross
players came back with a constantly
presing offense. However
the Fairfield defense, led
by Cluck Moakley and Tony
Palumbo, combined with goalie
Jack Casey to stop this attack
time after time. Late in the
fourth quarter a Crusader defl.
ected a shot Into the goal to
ruin Jack Casey's shutout.
Pandemonium broke lose as
the Stags won their first game.
It made the long trip to Worcester
worth while. They will
close out the schedule on Thursday
against Queensborough on
their home field.
Earlier In the week the Stags
were routed by a strong Mitchell

the final score was 5-0,

was undefeated and had averaged

Worcester, Massachusetts provided
the setting for the Fairfield

dumped Holy Cross 2 to 1 In a

The Stags battled diligently
throughout the fl.rst period, but
It was to no avail as they were
unable to penetrate the Crusaders'
