A standing room only crowd of approximately
800 students and townspeople witnessed the recent
Vietnam Rally, sponsored by the Public Relations
Forum of Fairfield University on Veterans' Day. No­vember

According to Matt Lyons,
chairman of the rally, "]t wa..

f r e e d 0 m everywhere." Mr.
Lyons described the over capa­city
turnout as the largest vol­untary
response ever seen at
Gonzaga Auditorium.
Its purpose was to "demon·
strate the extensive support of
the student body for the Viet­nam
polley" which the political
clubs believed to exist at Fair­field.
To bring this to the fore­ground
the Public Relatiol'l&
Forum sponsored the "coun­ter..(
lemonstration."
Chosen for its theme was
Edmund Burke's famous saying,
"All that is necessary for the
triumph of evil is that good
men do nothing."
Such importance was attrib­uted
to the rally that two

Fr. Murphy also announced
that beginning this year a schol·

tions. The committee Is com­posed

Treasurer. This group will eval­uate
all requests for financial
assistance for the academic
year 1966-67.
In commenting on the report
from the Dean of Admissions,
Fr. McInnes, President, remark­ed
that student financial aid
this year represents the great­est
peJ'C<'ntage Increase over
last year In the University bud­get.
While thc total bill for facul­ty
salaries Is more than twice
as much as that for student
financial aid, the rate of in­crease
improving financial as­sistance
to students was twice
as rapid as that for the faculty.
He added that It will be a major
project of the Administration to
try to continue to add to funds
available for both faculty salar­ies
and scholarship aid in the
future.

tn addition to the regular
channels for studenl aid, tui­tion
reduction is given to stu­dents
who have brothers cn­rolled
in the school. In the
freshman class alone fifteen stu­dents
with brothers In the upper
classes have received tuition re­ductions
this year. Nine child­ren

in both the UnI\'ersity and

Two Sources
The two chief sources of stu­dent
aid, cited by Fr. Murphy,
are direct scholarships and Na­tional

$104,700. The bulk of the aid
was distributed among fresh­men,
sophomores and junIors.
National Defense laMS In the
amount of $125,000 are almost
equally divided among students
in the four classes of the col·
lege.
New fonns of scholarship aid
were introduced this year. Six

"In the past year, according
to Fr. Murphy, "scholarships

True Symbol
But strangely the true symbol
of man's oneness in this sad time
has been neither the late Presi­dent,
President Johnson, nor

suddenly coalesced around the
figure of a noble and beautiful
womall, bearing grief with in­comparable
dignity and courage,
and reminding men everywhere
of the power of love and devo­tion
and nobility in human life.
It was as though, with her
hands clasping the hands of her
~hildren, Mrs. Kennedy was say­mg
to the world: "J hold the
future in my hands; the future is
bound by love to me, the present
- and to my dead husband, the
past. And my task - the task
of the present - is to show by
example that self-control, cour­age,
thoughtful remembrance,
intelligent commitment, and love
are the only avenues to a decent
future for mankind. Weeping is
for privacy. Beyond grief, be­yond

affirmations related to the con­tinuing
struggle of mankind to
conquer himself, and to fasten
his eyes upon the eternal stars
of truth, beauty and goodness."

His attitudes of mind rather
than his specific policies were
the measure of his greatness as

call to energetic action against
the historic enemies of mankind:
war, disease, poverty, injustice,
ugliness, ignorance, and hate.
But he rallied us not to a one­shot

Some Food For Thought
Here, finally, we turn to the
future and our role in it.
Occasionally, I run into young
people - and some older ones
too - who want to opt out of
the society into which they have
been born. Resting their case for
egoism on the special grounds
that they did not ask to be born,
they deny any obligation to
others. They search for ways
to duck military service; they
resist and escape community
service; they laugh at or frown
on political involvement; they
break rules and laws when deem
them inconvenient; they search
for no cause except the cause
of "never get involved." They
probe with the torch of intro­spection
the empty caves of their
own psyche. Finding nothing
there, they determine to com­pensate
by seJf~indulgence.
Meanin'il Of Self
What they ignore is the mean~
ing of self. Their very identity
is a product of social forces: the
family, the neighborhood, the
school, the community, the na­tion,
the world. They cannot
ask sensibly, "What kind of life
do 1 want to live 1" apart from
the question, "What kind of
world will make it possible for
me to Jive the kind of life I want
to Jive 1" A man cannot choose to
live in peace, or security, or free­dom
by issuing an isolated dic­tum.
Walden Ponds are not live
options for modern man ...
These general words are di­rected
at the future, but they
will lose all meaning unless they
are translated into present reali­ty.
Responsible action and re­sponsible
attitudes on our part
are not postponable. The test for
you and for me is not next year
or four years or ten years from
now.

semestel' when a bill was intro­duced
to put a sidewalk through
the orchard without knowing
where the construction of the
new Student Center was to take
place, possibly in the very spot
of said sidewalk. No one looked
into architectural plans for the
future of the campus, which
were in a state of flux in that
area. Debate proceeded on the
lines of if and where a sidewalk
could be placed, not whether we
needed one or not.
H is not even necessary to
mention the recently passed bill
to abolish off corridor permis­sion
slips, on which the major
portion of debate was carried
on by day-hops who where ig­norant
of the situation.
Some committees have been
making an effort at doing their
work as the Finance Committee,
which interviews the head of all
organizations requesting money
and makes a report and recom­mendation.
However even here
the nature of the Student Gov­ernment
budget was not clear to
all the legislators when it came
to the floor.
We are asking that the com­mittees
do more work in re­searching
bills before they come
to the floor of the Legislature,
so decisions can be based on
fa c t s and debates centered
around the merits of a bill, not
its technicalities.
The Stag, along with the rest of the academic community,
applauds and welcomes the far-sighted action taken by Bishop
Curtis in relaxing - in favor of students - the law of the Church
concerning forbidden books". Our thanks are also extended to the
Administration and those members of the faculty who labored to
make this change possible - and whose efforts were severely
hampered by the regrettable incident which occurred on this cam­pus
last spring.
" See story on page 1.
Seek and You Shall Find
The purpose of a committee
system in the Legislature is to
research all incoming bills and
report their findings to the legis­lature
so all decisions will have a
factual and well-informed basis.
This alleviates time consuming
probing by legislators on the
floor, and debate can be center­ed
around the merits or demerits
of a bill, not whether bills are
possible, or what they actually
mean or what prompts such
measures. Presentations of pos­sible
alternatives and the reason
for these should also be intro­duced
by the committees follow­ing
their investigations.
This process has been follow~
ed by too few of the committees
in the Student Legislature. One
instance where this occurred was
the proposed bill (now passed)
that Christmas vacation be ex­tended.
The committee had not
contacted either the Dean or the
President of the University to
check the reason for the present
dismissal date or the possibilities
of changing it. All that was pre­sented
was the results of a simi­lar
attempt last year. Debate
centered around the question of
the possibility of passing such a
bill, about the state Jaw as to a
requirement for a certain num­ber
of days, on which no one
was certain, and who the bill
should be presented to.
The sterlil1g example of no
committee work occurred last

By TONY LaBRUZZA
Academic freedom is the most sacred of all liberties enjoyed
by a university. Whenever It is exercised, it entails a tw~fold
responsibility. A university has an obligation first to its students,
to nurture free intellects capable of pursuing truth wherever
they might find it and of accepting truth even if It contradicts
the established modes of behavior. A university exerclalng aca­demic
freedom has secondly an obligation to society, to constant­ly
test the premises and values of Its age and of that society.
An open forum which deals with a pressing national Issue can
be a most adequate means of fulfilling its obligation.
It is questionable whether the Vietnam rally of last Thurs­day
night was In any way a legitimate exercise of academic
freedom. It is questionable whether a rally that is simply a dem­onstration
of unity and patriotism has any place on a college
campus. It is questionable whether a group of speakers that
presents only one side of an issue (and that superficially) Is
representative of the spirit of groping after truth which ani­mates
a university.
The validity of this criticism can be judged by a considera­tion
of the proceedings of the evening. rn a series of whereas
clauses, the first speaker argued that. totalitarianism denies the
Christian concept of man, that communism is basically evil but
that the United States has the opposing virtues, that the people
of Vietnam have never known freedom, that the United States
can give them freedom, and therefore that he "here and now
and always" realTinns our policy in Vietnam.
The second speaker spent some time analyzing the faults
of the counter-movements. He argued that the emotionalism of
the paciflst demonstrators precluded intelligent deliberation of
the issue. Not once did he reflect on the emotionalism displayed
at the very demonstration he was participating in. He seemed
not to have noticed the whistling and cheering that greeted the
fife and drum corps, the spirited singing of the Star Spangled
Banner, or the red, white, and blue trappings on the stage.
Could intelligent deliberation have been carried on in such
emotionally loaded surroundings?
The third speaker Quite simply and emotionally equated
totalitarianism with sin, totalitarians with madmen, and ex­horted
Americans to protect themselves in self-defense against
the mechinaUons of a paranoid mentality. He also seemed very
upset about dominoes being knocked over.
The fourth speaker profoundly and expertly set up a cor­~
pondence between the concrete situation in Vietnam and a
metaphysics of International polities. The conclusion of his
rhetorical gymnastics was that the last line of defense against
the cancer of communism is the hearts and minds of the Ameri­can
people and that many Americans by exercising their rights
to probe and criticize United States policy are unwittingly
supporting the communist cause.
It seems obvious that both sides of the issue were by no
means presented. In fact, it would have been Imprudent to
legitimately and Intelligently challenge the arguments of the
panelists against a background of red, white, and blue, the
American flag, the strains of civil war tunes, and all that is
good and holy. Hopes for genuine dialogue, for an honest search
for the truth of the Vietnam situation were in vain.
. It has been saJd that truth never comes like a diamond In
. a: setting; if so, last Thursday night was a gem of quite 8
diJferent variety.

a place, also, for those who
wish to see the government's

To the Editor:
As one who attended last
Thursday's "evenmg of reaffir­mation,"
I want to express my
dissatisfaction with it. I do not
think that it can be called
Olauvinistic (as some have
said) nor can it be called truly
"patriotic" (as others ha\'e
claimed). For me, it was "in­adequate."
It was not Ouiuvinistic on
the part of the speakers to pre­sent
their reuoaa fOT committal
to the Vietnam policy. Insofar
as they attempted to explain
the "over-riding considerations"
which led to their decisions they
avoided a "vainglorious and ex.
aggerated patriotism." Their
views on the degree of Involve­ment
(notably Prof. Van de
Kroef's advocacy of the bomb­ing
of Hanoi and possible use
of atomic weapons) must not
be confused with the .nt con­s.
ideratlon: "involvement or non­involvement?"
On the other hand, I can
hardly call the views as they
were presented trul). "patriotic"
since they barely came down
from the theoretical considel a­tlons
of the riJIIt to wage war
long enough to discuss thc ap­plications
of these to the pres­ent
war. The concensus among
the speakers was that the gov­ernment
was correct in com­mitting
itself but It failed to
lay bare the facts which promt·
ed such a "patriotic" decision.
The speakers were detrlclent
not so much because they Ig~
nored the objections of the oJ>
position but because they foiled
to define their own stand with
any tactual cogency. The au­dience
was detriclent because It
failed to articulate factual ob­jections
for the speakers to
comment upon. The assembly
was therefore inadequate.
It has been said that Instead
of an "evening of reafl"innation"

virtually unwanted high school
player, who just may lead the

come in a small package, as

in the form of a 210 lb. center

Tough Teams
The question of Red Chlna's admittance to the United Na·
tions is presently confronting the member nations of the U.N.
How these nations decide only time will tell.
However, there are a number of points which should be
taken into account which portrays further evidence why ChIna
should NOT be admitted to the United Nations.
The U.N. Charter In Article I, Charter I, states the ends
of the U.N. as "maintaining international peace and security,"
Article I further states "the organization must be a center for
harmonizing the actions of nations In the attainment of their
common ends," Harmony does imply cooperation. Red China has
followed a path which has contradicted both sections of Article
I. She never attempted any form of cooperation in Korea, In·
dochlna, and the f'f'Cent India-Pakistan Incident.
Obviously, since Red China is not a member of the V.N..
she could not attempt cooperation within that organization.
HQ\\.·ever, could not Red China, acting as a peace loving nation
outside the U.N. and using proper diplomatic means, attempt
cooperation In the above mentioned situations? She could ha\'t"
but the fact Is. she didn't.
In addition, the opportunity for cooperation the U.S. and
the U.S.s.R. displayed during the Kashmir Incident could and
would come to pass because their own self·lnterests did coincide.
The fact that these two countries are the two largest powers
on earth would tend to open the opportunity for cooperation
in this Incident with or without the presence 01 the U.N.
The statement that no evidence exists that China does not
want membership or would refuse membership If proferred is
somewhat far-fetched. Roscoe Dnunmond, in his October 22,
1965 column written for the Herald Trlbane presents evidence
which is somewhat conclusive to the fact that China does not
want U.N. admission. Mr. Drummond indicates that China is
laying down conditions which will either insure their non-ad­mission
or provide an excuse for turning down U.N. membership.
This is not just theory. There is ample proof that the very last
thing China wants is an association with the U.N. which would
hinder their openly stated, openly practlC(.'(I aggressive purposes.
China is demanding conditions which the General Assembly
could not, in conscience, accept If it holds any respect for the
U.N. O1arter.
The first condition is that O1ina would not sit in the United
Nations unless the U.N. expeUed Formosa, a country which has
never made war on another country.
China wants to begin expelling members of the U.N. even
before it has become a member.
The second demand Is that If the U.N. is going to oft'er
Peiking a seat, It must erase its resolution of 1951 citing Red
China as an "aggr...ssor" In the Korean War. This Is a logical
condition since Red China knows the U.N. Is opened to "peace
loving" nations. It Is logical enough to make the General As·
sembly refuse membership to China because, in effect, Ch1na
is asking the U.N. to vote Red China a "peace Iovi.ng" nation,
eligible to join the U.N. This Is equal to saying that Red China
is Innocent and the U.N. guilty ()\'er Korea.
Red China knows the General Assembly can't and will not
rescind its Korean condemnation. Through this device, ChIna
assures her aim of rebutrlng the U.N.
Only time wiD tell what the U.N. vote will be and it, with
time, O1lna alters its Intended course. Now It appears that
China feels that the U.N. is not the course to world recognition,
rather an independent course Is preferred - only time wiD tell.

SPORTS PERSONALITY
Water Polo Opens
Swimming Season
November 17, 1965, THE STAG. 9
The stage is set in Las Vegas, Nevada where
champion Cassius Clay will defend his heav~weight
laurels against challenger Floyd Patterson thiS Mon­day
night. In case you, are d,,!bious as to. who the .real
heavyweight champ IS, ErlUe Terrell IS recogmzed
only by the WBA and his crown might as -well be
made of tin foil for all the prestige he enjoys. Mon­day
night's tight is the 1?ne the public. h.as ~een w~it­ing
for and the air of high-strung anticipation whIch
now exists wasn't even faintly present for the recent
Terrel - Chuvalo affair. Championships are won and
lost in the ring and until Clay is beaten, he is the
only champ in the eye~ of the public. . .
There is a magnetism about a heavyweight title
bout which somehow never fails to attract a unique
world·wide attention in sport. The Clay-Patterson
fight is no different and a brief look. at eac.h man's
record and capabilities provides an mteresting con·
trast.
THE CHAMPION
Clay is a former Golden Gloves, AAU and 1960
Olympic light heavyweight champion. Since turning
pro in 1960 he has run off a string of 21 straight wins,
17 by the KO route. At twenty-three years old, Clay
has plenty of size, 6'3" and 215 Ibs., packs a good
wallop in either duke, has quick hands and superb
coordination. He has yet to fulfill his potential, but if
he does, he could very well become one of boxing's
greatest heavyweight champions. However, in a game
where a premium is placed on experience. Clay has
had little with top rated contenders and his boxing
ability is far from flawless. His habit of leaning away
from puches and carrying his hands low has resu.l~ed
in his being decked twice by lesser fighters, Bnttsb
champ Henry Cooper and the late Sonny Banks. Clay
did get up and go on to stop both men, but how long
he can continue his unorthodox style remains to be
seen.
Outside the ring, Clay's mouth and conduct have
been a source of controversy in boxing circles, but he
has contributed a certain amount of color and interest
to the slumping sport. As long as he backs his boasts
with his fists, people will be willing to listen to him.
THE CHALLANGER
Floyd Patterson is also a former Golden Gloves
champion as well as being the Olympic middleweight
champ at Helsinki in 1952. Since turning pro in 1962
Patterson has fought 47 times, knocking out 32 and
himself being kayoed three times. At twenty~one he
was the youngest man ever to win boxing's biggest
prize and the only man to regain his lost heavyweight
title.
Patterson has been on the comeback trail ever since
his second KG loss to Sonny Liston and has been quite
impressive, registering three knockouts and two unan­imous
decisions.
At 6' and 195 Ibs., Patterson is not an exceptionally
big heavyweight but he is a superb boxer with the
fastest hands of any heavyweight in the last decade.
His left hook is lethal, his blinding combinations are
damaging and despite popular opinion, he does take
a good punch. His big weakness is his habit of starting
slow and if he can be caught cold iu the first few
rounds he can be stopped. But once he gets into high
gear, he's a difficult boxer to handle... .
Patterson is thirty years old now, which lS conSider­ed
aging in the beak busting business, and nobody
has to tell him that there will be no more comebacks
if he loses this one. The motivation for his great de­termination
in this comeback effort is interesting, if
not off-beat. A staunch Roman Catholic, his main ob­jective
is to relieve Clay, alias Muhammed Ali, and
the Black Muslims of their control of the heavyweight
crown.
THE FIGHT
Look for Clay to go gunning for Patterson early in
the fight in an attempt to catch Floyd cold. Patterson,
on the other hand, knows he is a slow starter and if
he is smart he will bide his time and avoid trading
punches with the bigger Clay until later in the bout.
Paterson is most effective as a counter puncher and if
he sticks to his own style he might very well regain
the crown for an unprecedented third time. But if
he throws caution to the wind and slugs with Clay,
he just could get bombed.
The fight sizes up as a natural and a real crowd
pleaser. The four previous title fights put together
haven't provided a half hour of fighting and another
heavyweight "stinker" could have interesting, if not
fatal, results on boxing. I know that myself and every
other faithful boxing buff is hoping that this fight will
restore the great tradition that once was professional
boxing.
