The meeting started very
slowly because of several proposed
amendments to the

accepting an agenda took about

this discussion that Jeremiah
Buckley announced that he
would oppose all financial bUis

The first business of the evenIng
was to consider an appropriation
of thirty dollars to
the Chemisty Club to aid them

and the various lectures
which they schedule during the
year. The bill passed despite
Mr. Buckley'S nay.
All attention then moved to
the Football Club Bill. This bill
was immediately amended b)'

the Government would have to
give money ranging from 0 to
$500 depending on how much
the club needed to reach their

that Paul Barnes could address

that the club planned to solicit

Mr. Barnes said that one of his

Letters To The Editor
That only certain activities
taking place on campus have
been reported in the weekly
STAG, results from the limitation
of space and our budget.
Furthermore, where events involving
the commitment and involvement
of members of the
community to a cause occur, or
where one event is judged more
universally applicable to its
readership, the STAG feels dutybound
to give preference to
such. For example, in the particular
case questioned in today"s
"Letters To The Editor", the
recent article concerning forbidden
books was we feel adequately
treated for the following reasons:
1) The article received
front page coverage; 2) Its
careful and well formed phraseology
was perfectly clear and
any elaboration was therefore
unnecessary; 3) More than adequate
editorial thanks were
given to Bishop Curtis, the Administration
and the faculty.
without dragging Fairfield Universitv's
dirty linen out in public,
AGAlN.
Therefore. in the presence of
budgetary restraints and the
relative scarcity of space available
for announcements, we
strongly encourage the formulation
of legislation which will
eventually see the publication of
a mass distributed Calendar of
Events.
Furthermore, we continue to
strongly encourage Christianly
critical suggestion.
a more careful allotment of our
commodity.
The question of how meetingannouncements
and the like are
to be communicated to the community
was recently discussed
with a student legislator who
liked the suggestion that a Student
Government financed Calendar
of Events be made available
on a wholesale basis, and
agreed to present it to the Legislature.
Unfortunately, the motion
turned out to be a call
for just what the STAG provides
- a channel of expression
-- rather than a Calendar
of Events which would be at
the disposal of the entire community.
That any newspaper is a
means of announcing events is
in fact true. If, however, the
college publication deteriorates
to a mere means of announcement
- ignoring the tremendous
pool of intellectual resources
available to it as a means of expression
and community dialogue
- it sacrifices that which
distinguishes it so clearly from
its commercial counterpart.
the large devotion of space to
letters to the editor.
This is not to say that the
STAG's coverage could not, with
a larger staff, be extended. In
the absence of a numerically
sufficient staff and despite repeated
attempts to enlarge it
(to little avail), the STAG has
continually made it known that
its pages are available for
essays, critiques and other forms
of faculty and student expression
of a cultural and aesthetic
vein. Such intellectual undertakings,
save in a few cases,
have given way to an emotional,
cry-baby attitude about what
the STAG does or does not print.
Space is a quantitative, measurable,
distributive phenomenon
and as such is limited. In addition,
the limitations of a budget
have been imposed upon the
STAG this year, thus requiring

Certain laws of time and
space govern human capacity.
These same laws also limit the
perfection of the objects of
man's attention.
Perhaps, by discussing how
such Jaws effect the publication
of the STAG, those ignorant of
the presures of production may
become enlightened, and at the
same time draw suggestions of a
Christianly critical, rather than
caustically grandiose, nature.
It was thought last year, when
the STAG began publication on
a weekly basis. that such things
as meeting announcements
might receive more attention.
To our pleasant surprise, however,
issues of more far reaching
consequence and universal applicability
have enabled us to
continue our stated desire to
provide the community with a
sounding board of opinion and
expression. This is witnessed by

the act contrived by Buckley was

Mr. Buckley; if Everett Dirksen could
only see you now!
I beR: those represented by this man
to urge him to modify his views, or,
at least, to adopt a few sensible ones!
I am re!ering specifically to Mr. BuckIcy's
blunt, and bigoted, statement
that he would vote "No" on the three
financial bills to be presented that
evening BEFORE debate had begun
on the proposed bills. Mr. Buckley
said he stood on the constitution when,
in fact. the Financial Chnnn, 'stated
that he possessed the constitutionally
required documents necessary for a
loan. or an appropriation. I think an
explanation is owed to Buckley's supporters
for his actions lhat evening.
He also might explain to all of us why

after making the usual hub-bub, readIng

not constructive criticism or fruitful

Once again I beg Mr. Buckley's
one or two legislative contemporaries,
and those who voted him into office,
to urge the modiftcation of his views
and actions lest his name be construed
with lhat of anolher political orator
also noted for his raving tendencies.

of the Football Club bill. I would
like to say that this meeting, although

To the Editor:
2 • THE STAG, November 24, 1965
In the November 17 issue of the
STAG Mr. Rich Peck gave a by-line
report on the November 11 meeting of
the Student Legislature, Because he
made numerous references to my comments
and votes in which. ] believe,
he treated the facts as somewhat less
than sacred, ] feel compelled to clarify
the positions] took.
First, Mr. Peck noted that I objected
to and voted against the budget reported
by the Finance Committee. While
Mr, Peck could find room to report
these facts, he was unable to explain
why] objected. In fact, ] was opposed
because the legislature made a blanket
appropriation with insufficient debate.
Close to one tenth of the money collected
in Activties Fees was appropriated
for telephone calls without discussion.
The sum of $300.00 was ap>
l'Opriated for buses for away games,
yet no one questioned whether these
would be adequate to accomodate all
who wanted to use them or whether
the users should be charged some fee,
These and other questions were precluded
by a rapid motion of the previous
question. Therefore, ] was not
able to give my assent to this massive
appropriation bill.
secondly, in reprinting on the bill
to abolish ofT-corridor pennission before
"lights·out", Mr. Peck states that
I "led the argument against this bill."
Writing in the Manchester Guardian
for May 6, 1926. C'harles Prestwich
SCott states, "The newspaper is of
necessity something of a monoply, and
its first duty is to shun the temptations
of monoply. lts primary otl'ice is
the gathering of news. At the peril of
its soul it must see that the supply
is not tainted. Neither in what it
gives. nor in what it does not give,
nor in the mode of presentation. must
the unclouded face of truth suffer
wrong. Comment is free but facts are
sacred,"

On Religious
Awaiting deatll in a German
prison for crimes against the
Third Reich, Dietrich Bon·
hoeller continued to grapple
with the indictments against
C1lrIstianity. He was plagued
by the need of a relevant and
more germane presentation of
Gbrist to the modem world.
Frun his cell he writes, "We
are proceeding toward a time
of no religion at all. How do we
speak in a secular fashion of
God!" The shadow of this
martyred theologian still per-meates
present day discussion.
We can not proceed "beyond
Bonhoeffer" until we face the
realistic questions he has posed.
Tbe Secula!' City, by Harvey
Cox, is an attempt to meet
this challenge.
Today we live in a techno\>

society. Traditional religion
has collapsed and is no

The University Players opened
their ninth season r«enlly
with a production of T. S.
Eliot's Tbe CodrtaU Party. The
cast, under the direction of Mr.
Robert Emerich (with special
assistance given by Mrs. Ann
Martin) achieved only a limited
success with the di1I"lcull play.
The di1I"iculty arises (rom the
fact that Eliot'. play abounds
with the phUosophical views
that characterized his poetry.
What is presented (there is very
UtUe action on stage) is the
essence, with its many levels
and symbolisms, of the personal
philosophy. The basic action
becomes an intellectual one on
the part of the audience.
'Ibe acton must make up for
the play's tack of action. They
must lift the play from seeming
didacticism to the level or entertainment.
It was In this area
that the production failed.
Plot
The plot concerns itself with
a London lawyer (John Ka\>
penberg) whose marriage (to
Mrs. Ley1a Lenagh) is at a
point whet'1! It will either end
n divorce, or with help, be
strengthened. He has just ended
an aft'alr with Cella (Mrs. Eileen
Wilson) and she previously
with ;Peter (,Robert Mann).
Three mutual friends (Mrs.
Molly OUVf!r, Vincent Curcio,
Peter Bl'O$IIan) act as the catalytic
agents in saving the marriage,
and giving some meaning
to the lives of the others. The
trio are actually non·human
spirits who speak and act the
philosophy 01 Eliot.
Mr. Kappenburg was unsure
and unconvincing throughout
the entire play. He seemed Ul
at ease in most every situation,
and otten spoke 50 rapidly that
the meaning was lost. His attempt
at an English attent ran
from SCottish to 100000er-ciass
English to someone with a
mouth full of crackers. It
would have been better to let
him speak without an attent.
Mr. Mann had much the same
trouble, but his attent was
better.

Stae: From where will these
"corridor councils" get their
authority?
Callahan: ''The dorm councils'
authority would rest in the students'
hands. The office will
issue a memorandum (.'()I'lC(!:rning
this. The members of the council
will be elected by the students
and therefore, in a sense,
the students themselves give
the authority. 'Jbe responsibility
rests in the students to maintain
order. The students would
be judged by fellow students.
In extreme cases, the memo
bers of the council will hold
a meeting to decide whether
or not a certain student should
be brought before the Court
for violations. The Court would
be the only one, as far as the
corridor councils go, who could
eampus a student or take other
disciplinary action.
St&«: Do you fonee any frletion
between the "corridor councils"
and the rest of the students
on the noors!
CaUahJuI: "Not if the Student
Body as a whole, looks upon
the corridor councils in the
right way. The student attitude
is most important. The members
of the corridor councils are
not going to be policemen_ They
will be there merely to maintain
order, not to pass judgment
on a student:'
St.,-: Don't you feel that this
whole system is a little idealistic?
Calla.han: "Yes it is. In fact,
it is very idealistic. But, what is
wrong with idealism, the Con·
stitution of the U.S. is idealistic
and It has worked out! This
would be some effort towards
responsibility. The student Is
going to be faced with a lot of
responsibility once he graduates
from college."
Stag: Do you feel that you
will be able to find the necessary
number of men on each

at the risk of placing a "wall
of enmity" between themselves

By denying the place of patriotism
in a man who is presenting

must also deny his sincerity
The Congressional Resolution on Vietnam (ll. J. Res. 1145)
reads in part: "... the United States is assisting the peoples of
southeast Asia to protect their freedom and has no territorial,
military or POLITICAL ambitions in Olat area, but desires only
that these people should be lett in peace to work out their own
destinies in their own way ..." This statemen' obl'lousl)' mellDB

to prel'ent the FORCED takeol'er of southeast Asia by communism.
With this in mind, I would like to present a few thoughts
on the relative merits of a communistic or socialistic form of
go\'ernment in southeast Asia.
There are certain factors that govern the existence of any
society in the twentieth century. Of these, the most important
are perhaps education and urbanization. Education hi important
~ause In an increa...lngly technologtcoll)' lind intellectually
orientated world, It. IKIddy must howe tbe backl;"round and the
lI('umen to manilluillte lhl' \'lIrlous subtleties of International
ooononuC8 to poIlUC'!I. This knowledge can only be acquired.
through an Intensive educational program ,through which the
entire population can grasp, at least superficially, the problems
its government Is facing and so lend its support to the leaders.,
whose grasp of the problem goes beyond a superficial under~
standing.
Urbanization is equally important because past history has
demonstrated that the food problem inherent in an expanding
society cannot be met by an agrarian system, where each member
of the population farms a small piece of land and reaps a
har\'est proportional with his needs. The only W3)' in whkh the
8O*t)' can prOlide an adequate food supply for Us popula.tlon is
through the Increased use of technologlcaJ I&(h-an~ and th.ili
nt'CfliSitates automaUon and the consequen't development of
Jargl', centrall)' ('(IOtrollcd food production centers.. This development
results in the ousting of the small farmer. and his absorption
into the urban centers, where a growing Industrialism
makes use of his manpower.
The d:ifliculty is that both the educational and urbanizational
procedures result in the leveling or the relative social
strata of the population. Both go against the ancient caste
system so long ingrained in the religion and thought of the
Asian peoples. Mass education puts the various castes on an
identical intellectual plane, and allows for dIstinction only
among individuals and not among castes. Urbanization throws
man into the city, where he must cope both with annonymousness
and mobility, and deal with people ot various social
strata.
Sin('e the d('\"elopment of th(' southeastern Allinn countries
resl.<i in lllr~e llIeallllre I1llOn th~ t.wo Ilhenomena. and ",loce
both run contrllr)' to their anCient, Ing-rllined way of life, the
Ilroblem Is In finding' a form of !:"Ol'ernment. acceptable to these
peoilic \\'tuch will allow for the most comfortahll' transition into
modern world IKM'lety.
At first glance it might appear Olat democracy furnishes the
mechanism for this comfortable transition because It proclaims
all men as equal, and thus destroys the basic idea of the caste
system. But a second look Tel'eals that the democratic institution
is built on the concepts oC individual freedom and indi\':
idual expression at the expense of the social unit. Demoeracy
bas advanced toward the conUDon good concept only in 80 far
/t.lI It has adopted tlle Ideas of soclalhatlon. As conceived two
hundred years ago, it contained little emphasis on the social
unit. A glance at the bitter struggle resulting from the industrial
rel'o!ution reveals this. Pure democracy functions best within
an agrarian society.
Socialism (or modified communism) on the other hand
places the emphasis (admittedly ~xaggcrated) on the social responsibilities
of man. It effects the necessary leveling process
by making all men units or the collective whole, and in this
way. by setting up a common goal for men to attain, destroys
the basic inequality present in the caste system. It allows for
the transition by artificially creating the phenomena or anonymity
and mobility that will soon be actualized within the
urban society.
It might be argued that !Welallsm tenM to degrade the

out Mr. La Bruna's error in
assuming that the demonstration
made use of misplaced

To the Editor:
Re.; Mr. LaBruzza.
It seems that you failed to
read or perhaps you simply
misunderstood the posters ad·
vertising the November 11 th
Reaffirmation Rail)' on Vietnam.
It was not planned as a
"dialogue" (This seems to be
the big 'in" word this year as
apathy was last year). For the
past year or so we've heard the
other side of the Vietnam situation
as presented by the emotional
demonstrations taking
such fonns as student protC!Sts,
teach-ins, draft card burnings
and more recently self-immolation.
It was now time for the
American "quiet fighter" to be
heard. He spoke against Communist
agression in the past _

Patriotically,

Abbott, aU gave thoughtful

evening's program.
This evening was conducted
to counter the anti-war rallies
which have spread across the
countrY In the last 6 months.
This rally eft'ectively countered
the pacifist displays. Chalnnan
Matt Lyons and his committee
of the Public AtTalrs Fo~m
should be heartily congratulated
for their excellent job and posi·
Uve efforts. It is about lime
someone did something a bit
more imaginative than concen·
trate on phony-philosophy and
complaining.
To the Editor:
When a man feels that !'Ornething
is wrong, then let him
try to convince others that what
he believes in is right. This is
the whole principle behind the
civil rights movement and the
current demonstrations on the
United States' policy In Vietnam.
A few weeks ago, a group
of hard working patriotic in·
dividuals planned and staged a
rally in favor of what they believed
in. Right or wrong, they
took a stand and showed by
some positive actions not only
that they favored the United
State's policy In Vietnam, but
t h l:t t they were interested
enough to do something about
It
Since the time of the Veterans
Day Rally. there have been
a number of complacent and
indifferent individuals who, although
not willing to make any
attempt to display their own beliefs,
are willing to criticize
the attempts of others. I ehallenge
Olese people to do balf
as much to make their feelings
known at Matthew Lyons and
his conunittee have done to

To the Editor:
1 have just finished reading
several articles in the "Stag"
of November 17, 1965, in which
Ole authors attacked the Veterans'
Day Rally of November
11, 1965, sponsored by the Pul>
lie Affairs Forum. Both ot the
negative writers called for an
evening of information on the
campus, concerning the war In
Vietnam. I also endorse such a
meeting of the minds.
However, the rally of November
11, was not intended to be
a debate between the "goodies
and the baddies". ANYONE
could see that it was to be
and effccth'ely was. an Even
ing of Reaffirmation In Support
of the U. S. Commitments in
Vietnam. It was a weU~rganized
rally, not a debate, dialogue
dr whatever tile PSUEOO Intellectuals
want to tag it. It
was for a \'ery simple reasonto
demonstrate wiOl rationality
and patriotic emotion, to the
nation, that Fairfield University
supports the U. S. inevitable
action In Vietnam.

To the Editor.
I have a few questions to ask
Mr. La Bruxza:
1. What's wrong with patriotism!
2. Why is it questionable
whether a rally that is a demon·
stration of unity and patrlotllJllt
has any plae<> on a college campus?
3. What's wrong with the
American flag and the Star
Spangled Banner?
4. Since when has totalltarl·
anism ever been morally right?
5. What Is a legitimate ex·
ercise of academic f~om?
6. Since when does not the
expression of one s.ide of an
issue help lead one towards
truth and understanding. if in
the past, the other side has al·
ready been examined and ~
jected!
7. Is it not possible that the
four speakers at the rally might
be slightly more qualified on
the subject matter in question
than you, Mr. Stewart, or Fr.
Bresnahan, S.J.
Mr. La Bruzza, the Pro Viet·
nam Rally was never meant to
be an open forum or dialogue.
All one had to do was read the
announcements to realize this.
Its purpose was "to demonstrate
the extensive support of
the student body for the Vietnam
policy." I and close to 800
other !ltudents are sorry if you
wert' disappointed.
Sincerely yours,

George led them to a very respectable
season. He feels that
the enthusiasm of intramural
football could easily be con·
verted into the spirit of A Fairfleld
Football Club. He is O\'erjoyed
with the new intramural
program and (eels that "it adds
a tremendous amount of relaxation
and offers a wonderful
chance to excel to the average
athlete that would otherwise
be overlooked."
George Is pn:osently an English
major at Fairfteld. He Is
also atriUated in activities dcaJing
with the Catholic Worker
and Christian Doctrine. His
main ambition is to join the
anned forces and eventually
become an astronaut. He has
been a tine student and a real
"Fairfield gentleman." While
reputed to be an extl'('tnely
quiet guy, his Irish temper can
explode if pushed too far.
George has always been a
leader among his class. He
strives to be the best in everything
- a good winner and a
hard loser. It Is widely known
that not many men could feasibly
become astronauts. However,
with the tine credentials
thai he possesses. don't bt' surprised

week of competition. t""oo

1st round of play. Gonzaga 1
tell prey to Campion 4, 4-3,
while Regis 4 swamped Loyola
3, 6-2. Campion 4 and Regis 4
thus joined last weeks winners,
Gonzaga 3 and Loyola I, In
the 2nd elimination round.
Gonzaga 1's Tim Roa:::h and
Campion 4's John Hamel traded
goals in a flrst half I-I defensive
struggle. In the second half rugger
Jim Nicksa "took to the
water" and scored twice as he
sparked campion 4 to the 4-3
victory. Paul McGrath added
a goal for the victors, while
Paul Baslrlco and Grey Leaman
ot Gonzaga 1 kept the score
close in the nip and tuck battle
with their 2nd half scores.
The second contest ot the
night featured n great individual
show by Rt'gis 4'5 Rick
Brown. Brown scort'd 4 goals,
two In t'ach half, us Regis 4
literally "splashed" Loyola 3
with their six scores.
The game, howcv~, had been
deadlocked at the half 2-2, with
Tony Hartigan and Peter Burke
scoring for Loyola 3 to offset
Brown's two goals. But Regis
4 completely dominated the sec-ond
half as they scored four
times. Brown matched his first
half heroics and Bob Rietweisner
and Jay Standish added
scores to tum the contest into
a runaway victor for the
Reglsmen.
It Is very rare when a person can go through three )'Cllnl
ot college without making an enemy. It is even more startling
when that [K!rson can be described as Un outstanding athlete as
well as a fin!' student. Such has been said of George Donoghuethe
"Little General" of Regis
l's football team and an allaround
outstanding figure.
George was a standout In
baseball and football at Holyoke
Catholic High SChool in
Holyoke, Massachusetts. His diversified
Interests brought him
much acclaim in both sports
and his well-rounded Ideals led
him to tutoring in the Christian
Doctrine Program. This
was designed. IlttOrding to
George, "to elevate the underprivileged
and mal-adjusted into
the realm of respectability.'
His outstanding work led him
to the position of Chainnan of
the Christian Doctrine Program
at Fairfield.
One 01 the original founders
of the Football Club, George
says that "I am greatly opposed
to the school's overstress
ot basketball. Although I'm a
great advocate ot the game I
feel that the Athletic Department
should maintain a greater
diversity." George Is an avid
tollower of the Swgs but also
foresC!es that the school's expansion
should lead to a growth
in as many llports as possible.
He was duly angry when the
Fairfield Football Club failed to
emerge this year but predicts
that "the club will be highly
successful if proper organization
can be combined with good
student and administrative sup.
port."
George has been an intramural
standout during all four
