Buddha. I lUll awake
Jeannot Lapin sat motionless on the edge of his bed, staring
blankly at his shoe·tops, Seven )'eal"s. one hundl'ed eighty·four
days artel' his first prep-school encountel', disillusionment had
triumphed.
Suddenl)' a soft chuckle, "The hell of it is, they don't really
know, they've never known how we feel. Anyway, the ones
who've escaped, Maybe thel'C aren't many, Most of us, I guess,
are with them, despite what we say,
"But the people I've alwa)'s respected most, and they've
respected too. . the one's the3' talk and laugh and joke with,
And love and admire, and yet .. ,
"Et tu, Brute? Ita, ergo, Anathema sim."
With a quick rocking motion Jeannot got lo bili feet,
half-turned, and stretched (or the shelf. Standing with one
foot on the bed, he paged though Webster's New Collegiatc
until he found his word, The second meaning: "One likened to
a Jesuit; specif" a casuist; hence, a Cl'8fty person;"
Further down: "JESUITRY, n. Principles or practices as­cribed
in derogation to the Jesuits. such as the practice of men­tal
reservation."
Four hundred and thlrly-one years later.

I stepped forward for my little pins and prizes, and stood
silent to a"'oid bruised feelings and rebukes?
Four feet away, open and face down, lay Jeannol's text­book.
Literature 140A. Anouilh. "Antigone." Upon its silent
pages the battle of Croon and Antigone still raged. Thus spake
the king;
"Won't )'ou try to understand me? I awoke one morning
and found myself king of Thebes. 11lere had to be one man who
said yes. Was that a time to weigh the pros and cons. to wonder
if I wouldn't pay too dearly later on; If I wouldn't lose my life,
or my family, or my touch with other men? With aU my logic
and all my powers of debate all I can get out of you Is that you
despise me.
"It Is easy to say no, even if It means death. To say :res,
)'ou have to s~-eat and roll up )'our sleeves and plunge both
hands into life. No Is one of )'oor man-made words. Can you
imagine a world where beasts sa)' no to hunger or propaga·
tion?"
And the princess hurls her reply.
"Beasts, Creon. What a king you could be if men were only
beasts.
"What sort of happiness do you forsee for me? What are
the unimportant sins that I shall have to commit before I can
sink my teeth into life? To whom shall I have to lie? Upo,n whom
shall I have to fawn? To whom must I sell myself?
"I loath your happiness. I refuse to be moderate! I refuse
tQ be satisfied with the bit of cake you olTer me if I promise
to be a good little girt"
Jeannot mused and chuckled again. "But the di1ference
between Antigone and me is that I think Creon can be changed,
I want to mean something, A utilitarian Antigone, Is that a
joke?"
He recalled that afternoon in the olIice, WIlS it so frighten­ing
that what others dared to think, he ventured tQ say?
"You ask me to be concrete, To tell you what to do. I've
given )'ou a three-year list of things to do, and all you answer
is that you're glad I'm keeping busy. You want me tQ say what's"
really wrong? I've just tried, If you con't take that to heart'
nothing else I can say will impress you. Neither you nor I want
me to tell you what your job Is."
A dialogue perhaps, but not a CQrlSe:nsus.
Jeannot thumbed back a few pages.

THE STA& Matdo 24,1965
TENSION, TENSION, TENSION
An age old television commer­cial
begins with the words,
"Tension, Tension, Tension,"
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we
could all relieve the tension that
surrounds us here at Fairfield
by taking an overdose of Ana­cin?
Tension, however. is an appar­ent.
condition at Fairfield. It is
not peculiar to Fairfield in the
sense that tension surely exists
at all universities in varying de­grees.
What we must attempt to
determine is, how much of the
dissatisfaction on campus is due
to the presence of a greater de­gree
of tension at Fairfield than
at most other universities in the
country. After this has been de­termined
we must begin to seek
out ways and means oC alleviat­ing
the tension factor on our
campus. Let's make an attempt
to point out why tension exists
to a greater degree at Fairfield
thnn it does at other universities
throughout the nation. (Here we
are assuming that you grant our
presumption that tension is a
serious problem).
In the 6rat place. Fairfield is
u young school. As such, it has
great hopes for the future and
plans galore are in store. We are
still facing many of the organ­i;:
ational problems that have
long since stopped hampering
our colleagues. As a young
school we have a young Alumni
thut is only now beginning to
feel its oats. It too, is still largely
in the organizational fase of its
development.
The present student body is
aware of the plans that. the Uni­vcrsity
has for future develop­ment.
As such, it is continually
reminded of what Fairfield will
be someday in the not too distant
futul'e. The students presently
attending Fairfield per hap s
grieve that they came here too
early in the stages of develop~
ment. Many unconsciously feel
like guinea pigs who are sen,jng
as a testing sample for what will
be done in the future. This
breeds tension.
Secoadly. many students com·
plain about the lack of challenge
present in many of the courses
offered at our University. This
lack of challenge is certainly an
evident factor in many cases.
Challenge should be provided in
the classroom-intelligent chal­lenge-
not the impossible. If it
is not, the students become
bored and boredom also breeds
tension.
Thirdly. the expectations of
the Administration, the faculty,
the students, and even the resi·
dents of the area, are great.
Everyone expects great things
of Fairfield University. The Ad­ministration
and faculty have
their e)'es set on the future in
store for our school. This is not
to deny that worthwhile changes
:tren't taking place. Yet, t?e
students, while they ~oo are 1!1­tprested
in what Faufield "'111
grow into, are more concerned
(and rightly so) with what can
be done DOW to improve the lot
of the University. The present
student body is interested in the
benefits it will derive from Fail'­field
in a year and a half, two
and a half, or three and a half.
It hears what will happen to
Fairfield, but often never sees
these plans materialize. Hence,
frustration gets a hold on the
stu den t s and administrators.
Frustration breeds tension.
Fourthly, Fairfield is sorely
in need of even a smattering of
tradition. A life·sized bronze
Stag in front of the Gymnasium,
on the lawn that separates the
two roads near the gym, might
do the tl·ick. Something, please.
At Fordham, there is the Ram.
At Manhattan, you have a walk
preserved for the exclusive use
of the Faculty and senior class.
At Yale, you have Ivy. At Fair­field
we have little, save our
chimes, which give no visual re­minder
of what Fairfield should
mean to its students.
The lack of tradition at Fair­field
does not so much indicate
the presence of tension as it does
the lack of spirit. However, the
presnce of a great school spirit
would surely weed out a large
amount of the tension.
Fifthly, as a Catholic institu­tion,
Fairfield faces an anti­(
Iuated attitude of many non­Catholics
that Catholic educa­tion
is necessarily relegated to a
back seat by the presence of a
religious atmosphere on our
campus. Little could be farther
from the truth; yet we must con­stantly
be on the defensive as to
the merits of our system. Per­haps
a beefed up public rela­tions
drive on the changing at­mosphere
of today's Catholic
colleges would help to alleviate
this condition and at the same
time put us on the offensive as
a~gressors. This might be car­ned
out through an exchange
program with some of our non·
Catholic brother and sister
schools in the area. This would
afford us the opportunity to
sho\\- others that we do not de­serve
a back seat in educational
circles.
The students at Fairfield are
only too aware of what auppos­edly
goes on in other universities
in the nation, through cOIl\'ersa­tions
with their friends in at­tendance
at other institutions. So
long as the student at Fairfield
continues to believe that he does
occupy a back seat to others, he
will long for the grass that ap­pears
greener on the other side.
This longing breeds tension.. on
OUr campus.
Sixthly, the presence of reg­ulations
governing the actions of
Fairfield students tends to breed
a certain amount of tension. This
is not to condemn the presence
of regulations in any way, what·
soever. E\-en the most liberal of
our non-Catholic brother institu­tions
demand compliance to
some sort of a code of behavior.
However, by banning beer par­ties
and the like across the state
lines, the Administration is in­dirctly
denying the student body
an opportunity to demonstrate
its responsibility as young adults.
Students become further irked
by such a ruling in light of the
fact that the two beer p31ties
that were held directly before
this ruling was made, were or­derly
affairs. The student now
feels that his demonstration of
responsibility has been rewarded
by a ban rather than an encoul'­agement
to continue his adult
approach to such affairs. This
attitude breeds a disgust and
disappointment with their slight­est
attempts at maturity and in­directly
leads to tension through
a d ire c t confrontation with
seemingly foolish administl'ative
directives.
Seventhly, the lack of proper
channels of communication, both
in and out of the classroom, lead
to a large array of otherwise
avoidable situations. Inside of
the classroom, a teacher who
squelches a question or a dis­cussion
or debate is choking the
proper channel of communica·
tion that is afforded the student
in class conditions. Outside of
the classroom, the problem is
more centered on the lack of
communication rather than the
lack of its proper channels. Stu­dents
are rarely informed of
what is happening on the cam·
pus, save through a few notices
posted in several places on cam­pus.
The information should be
made public in such a way that
all will know what should be
known.
This lack of communication
and the squelching of 0PPOI'­tunities
for question and answer
dialogues in class serves to cre­ate
a great deal of the tension
that exists at -our University.
1I0w then, can we alleviate
some of the tension that seems
to hamper the present develop­ment
of Fairfield?
The ftnt preacription should
include a sizeable dose of pati­ence
on the part of all COI1­ce.
rned, Thj~ is not to advocate
a collapse of constructive criti­cism
by all involved. It is merely
a plea to have everyone make
himself aware of the fact that
things are not going to be done
overnight.
Secondly, by instilling a great­er
challenge in course material
boredom might be considerably
eliminated. Challenge should not
be presented as a professor's de­mand
for great increases in c1ass­w,
ork and reading material. It
.. shoulc;i not be presented as a de­n.
a~s~:_of._.$tuden.ts' ability to
nse..to..the· te~cher's level, but
through a program of outside
research and thesis-like work.
. Thi~ly, by instituting some
Immediate plan of action to in­volve
presently enrolled students
in a new and different academic
enterprise, the Administration
could alleviate the feeling of
many that they are a samplinK
fOJ" future developments at the
University.
A group of interested atudeab
might begin studying some plans
to institute a standing tradition
at Fairfield.
Fifthly, a reconsideration of
decisions such as the ban on
out of state beer parties (which
is expected, since the decision
was handed down "until further
notice"), might serve to restore
the students' confidence in their
aspirations toward responsibility.
Lastly, by making the entire
community more aware of what
students feel about the Adminis·
tration and faculty and what the
latter feel about the students,
we might certainly be taking
the proper steps to eliminate the
poor conditions of communica­tion
that exist.
. We ha\'e attempted to show
III some detail why Fairfield is
a University with tension sur­rounding
it. If the tension emin·
ated from things like an over·
burdened student body, rather
than from a tension caused by
boredom and frustration, there
would be little need for such an
article as this one. Let's hope
that someday, through the ef­forts
of the present student body
and Administration, that every­one
will be able to say. ..]
couldn't be happier at any other
university." We have the talent
among us to do such things.

I realize that the seemingly contra·

ter to the EdItor and in the Bridge·

To the Editor:
Last December lst I attended the
St. Joseph's game at thelr home court
In Philadelphia. I was deeply impressed
with the spirit of the Hawks and I felt
that we shquld be able to put on a
similar show for our basketball team
on the home court. This unfortunately
did not work out as well as could be
expected, and our enthusiasm could be
termed a fallure. The question now
brought up is WHY? Here are a few
oj. the answers.
This year FalrileJd University had a
group of student cheerleaders, whose
job was to lead the cheers at each
home game and by doing so, boost the
morale of the team with the support
of the fans. We had the means to reach
our gqal but this was never fuUllJed.
No support was given to the cheer­leaders,
only complaints which hinted
thal we did not do our job. One must
realize that eight students cannot
make enough noise to fill the gym. 1be
cheerleaders depend upon the support
oj. the student body in attendance, and
the deficiency in our spirit showed a
lack of cooperation on behalf of the
Stags.
We clamored for a drum, and when
we received permission to use It, the
cheering suffered somewhat. It seems
that the drum made more noise than
the crowd at times! I admit that the
sealing plan presented sqrnewhat or a
problem, but this should not have been
an excuse for the lack of cheering. The
laet that ~'e are winning or losing
must not matter - we should still
show our support lor the team through·
out the entire game. If the cheerlead·
ers can do it, why can·t the students
help QUt'!' One woukl. think that most
of the students at Fairfteld lUfter tnm
acute laryngitis!
The cheerleaders do not warrant the
remarks made in the last article of
the "SPORTS DESK:' It stated that
it was debatable as to whom caused
the loss of enthusiasm - the cheer­leaders
or the crowd. 1bere was a loss
of enthusiasm but the cheerleaden are
not to blame. The reason feu' this is
simple. How could eight men cause
this deficiency in spirit? If we lacked
enthusiasm, ~'e would have never at­tended
the games. The crowd Is to
blame because they did not respond to
the cheers that were called by the
cheerleaders. If we are proud of our
team then we should show it by QUr
spirit at the games.

Moderator of the Junior Class and
the Dogwood Festival LIVELY DEBATES,
In order to foster a morc in­tellectual
atmosphere 00 the
campus and to enable students
to become more aware of liter­ary,
historic, and other topics of
interest, the STAG would like to
suggest that some organization
on campus assume the respon­sibility
of sponsoring an occa­sional
debate.
Such a program would, we
feel, be well received by the
student body, since it would af­ford
an open dialogue between
two people on the opposing sides
of a contemporary question of
interest. A debate would involve
an exchange of ideas that any
student of substantial worth
Recent issues of the STAG
have editorialized rather heavily
on the needs for improvement in
the Administration and among
the Faculty. WhHe the focus has
fallen upon these two groups,
the students have been some­what
pleased with STAG edi­torial
policy, if we may go on
the assumption that a few indi­vidual
comments are representa­tive
of student opinion in gen­eral.
The STAG, however, would
like to pose some interesting ob­servations
to the community and
students in particular, regarding
students at Fairfield.
Why is it that the Students are
so quick to cry apathy at the
Faculty for their lack of attend­ance
at a Christmas party, when
only 135 students voted on three
amendments to the Student Con­stitution
in a recent balloting?
While we are not condoning the
lack of attendance at the Christ­mas
gathering, we are trying to
point out the fact that the stu­dents
have certainly balanced
off the apathy question by their
inaction in that voting. Perhapa
th. belt wa,. for the atudenu to
b... abown their diaguat witb
the Faculty'a apathy would have
been to atarm tbe polli~ bootb,
wben tb. amendmenta were to
be voted upoa.
Why is it that trips to local
taverns seem to be more popular
on Thursday evenings than at­tendance
at lectures presented
by the Bellarmine Series group?
Are our tastes so distorted that
we can pass up some very note­worthy
speakers in order to im­bibe

club has swelled from a choral
group of forty voices to an en­semble
of seventy in the past
seventeen years. These years
have been crowded with con­certs
from Boston to Washing·

and local appearances by
the barbershop quartet, the
Bensonians. and the campus
Minslrels, a group of twelve
which add the touch of comic.
Innumerable hours of practice

over these years, but
the deep satisfaction both given

I am disturbed by many things that have or have
not occurred on campus in the preceeding two weeks.
I am disturbed greatly by the attitude of the Bridge­port
Area Club. 1t seems to me that no organization
can be so sure of itself, so complacent in its position,
that it need not be concerned with its image. The
answer to Mr. Schleuter's letter was far from a stroke
of genius. It served only two purposes, neither of
them laudable. It clarified nothing, and its vague gen­eralities
served only to create a smoke screen in an
already foggy situation. But more disturbing than this,
its air of godly righteousness and its threats and de­mands
thrown at both the STAG and Mr. Schlueter
could serve only to alienate a large majority of the
student body. 1 feel the B.A.K. should do what 1 have
been recently advised to do, and "look before it
leaps."
I am also disturbed by the ail' of rebellion that
has permeated Fairfield of late. I could hardly call
rebellion a bad thing, but the student body and the
faculty should be reminded that rebellion and demon·
strations are only a last resort.. They are to be used
only in situations where arbitration and communica­tion
have proven useless. Quiet, aane, and aenaible dis·
cuaaion often accompliahea more than dramatic dia·
playa of disapproval. The Administration is not going
to knuckle under to the demanda of a small group of
students and faculty, but there is a good pouibility
that it will be willing to bend with the breeze of poe­itive
auggeationa.
But there is a much more disturbing factor pres·
ent here than either of the above. There is an attitude
present which cannot be overlooked, and which must
be corrected if we are to claim with any degree of
honesty that we are an educational institution. ] am
speaking of the lack of intellectual motivation on
campus.
As I look back on my years here I cannot recall
a single incident where the intellectual achievements
of a student ever received a substantial degree of at·
tention. ] cannot remember the student body ever be­coming
excited about a new thought or a new style or
a new idea. I cannot remember serious attention being
paid to Edward Albee, or E. E. Cummings, or Teilhard
de Chardin. 1 cannot remember debates between
teachers with divergent opinions on topics of impor·
tance ever being scheduled, and even if they had been
arranged, 1 question whether the student body would
have been represented in any greater majority than it
is at the Bellarmine lectures.
Thia aituation is deplorable. We have failed to a
very large extent to create an intellectual atmO&phere
at our university. We have failed to stimulate the
etudent in' academic pursuita. We have failed to recog­nize
the intellectual lU a prominent campua figure.
And in doing this, have we not perhaps failed as a
university?
But what is to be done? Are we to sit back and
agree, and then take no positive action? 01' are there
certhin 'steps that can and must be taken to correct
t.his situation?
1 would like to make a few suggestions. 1 under­sland
that at least one teacher has organized an in·
[ormal discussion group, which meets and discusses
questions of intellectual importance. This action is
good, and should be followed up by other groups and
other teachers. The absence of an organ for student
expression of original ideas should be cOlTected. Since
New Frontiers on the whole has not filled this need,
perhaps another publication should be initiated. (I
understand serious thought is being given to this idea
by certain students, and 1 anxiously await its out·
come). I wonder whether students cannot be used
morc actively in the classroom, and whether certain
qualified indiv.iduals cannot be called upon to lecture
in class. I wonder whether we cannot recognize ex­ceptional
term papers, and either institute a reference
Ole of such papers, or make them available to the
university through our printer.

Although music has become
an integral part of American
society. very Uttle attention has
been paid to it as an art. Its
study has been neglected on
both the high school and col­lege
level, and as a result. there
is a lack of interest in its per­suit
Qll the part of the general
public. What this series of arti­cles
will attempt to do is to
put forward a number of Inter­esting
facts about music, in the
hope of serving as a catalyst
toward more intensive interest.
Perhaps you have a general
idea of the history and develop­ment
of music, but it is doubtful
whether the mechanics of com·
position are widely known. Yet,
they shQuld be, if we are to be
able to appreciate and criticize
particular compositions. No one
would think of cQDUllenting on

Mr. Sheckley a terra-firma
basis for this science fiction Ir-------------------------. novel. He presents a log of
way-out travels along star-studded
routes In the sky. But
his people, his characters, retain
their very human heritage, and
have to cope with love, fear
and hope in times and places
boarderlng the furthest fron­tiers
of humanity. As Jules
Verne once did, he makes the
implausible plausible with the
future as the next spellbinding
moment, loaded with knowledge
for man to grasp. In this elec­trlfying
emptiness he places
real people and puts the reader
Qll the edge of his seat by shar­ing
in their unreal problems.
The book is a collection of
eleven short stories that make
suspenseful, exciting reading.
Mr. Sheckley's philOSOphy, that
people will always be the same
In spite of new environments,
solidifies a thin-air civilization.
For example, In AloDe at Last
a man confronts his robot with
solitude as the witness in a
society based. on belonging and

seems to verify the truth that
no man is an island.

as it may seem. Brown main­tains
a Christian standpoint. It
is evident that he does not
agree with lhose whom he is
discussing, but nevertheless
maintains a respect for their
thoughts. It is quite evident
that he is not trying to seU
a point. It is only by presenting
the situation that it can be
examined.
There is a constant theme
running throughQ,ut the dis­course
to. justify his position and
that of other phHosophers in
this question. That Is, only
philosophy can and must yield
a meaning, even where it talks
about being. Like science, it
too is a project, a perspective,

In chapter 7 on "Summary

Is the existentialist emphasis
an assistance towards under­standing
the nature of Christ­ian

Theology conceive that, in
fact, the Subject makes the
Object'!
The answer to these can only
be given to yo.u in total con­text.

late for that. What he is doing
is pl'csenting the situation as it
exists, holding it up for study
and observatiO]\, and allowing
the reader to form his own
opinions.
Mr. Baldwin has been criti­cized
heavily for his treatment
of homosexuality, particularly
in thi" book, where it is pre­sented
in a favorable light. But
I question whether such criti­cism
is entirely valid. This is a
problem which touches America
deeply, and the thoughtful pre­sentation
of a capable writer
such as Baldwin has definite
merit. An insight into the mind
of a man "condemnro to men"
is as valuable as an insight into
the minds of men "condemned
to women".
1 have often wondered wheth­er
a thing has to be pretty in
order to be beautiful. I feel
that Another Cowilry demon­strates
that it does not. There
is deep beauty in this book, al­though
it is far from pretl)'.
The dignity of man, struggling
against his situation and his
own desires, is perhaps the
thing of highest beauty.

It is very rarely that one
comes upon a writer whose
style is overwhelming. whose
choice of words is perfect, and
whose images are fresh and
\·ivid. We seem, on the whole,
to have sacrificed the beauty Qf
the English language in an
overly enthusiastic quest for
realism. But James Baldwin is
not guilty of such sacrifice.
Regardless of what may be
said about his thought content
or his choice of material, his
use of words is a work Qf flaw­less
beauty.
In a very real sense Mr. Bald­win
has written about another
country. He has set his story
in Harlem and Greenwich Vil­lage,
and has picked for his
character.> musicians, unpub­lished
writer.>, and homosexuals.
The plot he wea\'es around this
unusual conglameratlon of char­acters
is unquestiQrlably rea­listic,
and he has carefully
avoided the obvious temptation
to exploit the story for its sen­sationalism.
In Another Country the au­thor
is dealing in a very real
way with two problcms, two
drastic problems, that exist in
Amcrlca. They are the race
pl'Qblem and homosexuality. But

James Brown has selected a
single standpoint from which
to examine the thinking of
four existentialists; Kierke­guard,
Heidegger, Bubel' and
Barth. In a serie5 of studies to
determine the place of the Sub­ject
- Object relation and the
antithesis of subjective and ob­jective
in sqme representative
and influential theological
thinking, he realistically de­\'
elops the problems of the last
hundred years.
At the very least, he throws
light upon a wide varlcty of
terminological usage, and is in
position lQ reinforce the well
known warning against the sup­position
that words, even techni­cal
terms in philosophy and
theology, must always mean
the same thing for different
thinkers and writers. He begins
by pointing out that the termin­ology
o.f Subject and Object in
its modern usage derives from
the Kantian epistemology.
He does not claim to be able
to give a full view of the ques­tion
in modern theology, but
in his capacity, he does present
it in its prqper perspective so
that It 'may be examined.. The
problem is rather simple. The
variations of thought that have
arisen in latter-day theology are
not calculated confusion. They
are inevitable results of varying
presuppositions and approaches
in di1ferent and di1ferlng the0­logians.

VIET NAM - U,S. forces were further bolstered
this week by the addition of two Marine batallions to
guard OUI' air base at. Panang, t.he principle starting
point of current air raids on North Viet Nam. This
represents a change in policy from the use of U.S.
ground forces as "advisors", to one of using our
forces as actual fighting troops. However, this stepped
up military aid may have come too late to ward off
a major conflict. The State Department seems to be
fmally coming out of its nebula of policy about Viet
Nam - a policy that has had us stumbling around
Viet Nam since we first sent advisors there in 1955.
U.S. NEGLECT IN SOUTH EAST ASIA - For
yeal'S we have neglected South East Asia while con­centrating
on the situation in Berlin and the rest of
Eastern Europe Communist aggression has met with
only half hearted resistance in its taking over of Tibet,
most of Laos, and now large areas of South Viet Nam.
U.S. DETERRENTS NOW - The U.S. is now
depending on air raids. to impress the Communists,
with no real defensive structure to cover aggression
in all of South East Asia. There is no formal alliance,
and it is such a defense that the Communists would
seemingly respect. The archaic South East Asia Treaty
Organization is now nonexistent.
THE STAG
IN THE FUTURE - Perhaps faced by the same
force that softened the Russians in Eastern Eurpoe.
the Chinese Communists would reconsider their pre­sent
policy of ever growing aggression. Such a force
could also stop the growing conflict between Indonesia
and the Malaysian Republic before it escalates fur­ther.
The U.S. mwt take an overall reexamination of
our goals and actions in Viet Nam. We entered Viet
Nam to help a struggling country uphold its demo­cracy;
but, as it has turned out, there has never been
a democracy there. There is only a military state.
Furthermore. the Vietnamese must be shown that this
is not a conflict between the U.S. and China. One of
the major reasons for the war's miscarriage up until
now has been the apathy on the part of the Vietna­mese.
They do not identify what little freedom they
have with the outcome of the war. 1f war in Viet Nam
is simply for military or tactical gain. with no regard
for setting up a democratic process, then we have no
right to be there.
NEW HAVEN - Students of Yale have been
protesting the denial of tenure to Richard J. Bern­stein,
a young philosophy teacher, by the Philosophy
Tenure Committee. The reason for the denial was
given as the few books, two, that Brnstein had pub­lished
while at Yale. Conditions for tenure include
not only being a stimulating educator, but writing
several books and articles of distinguished value. The
students main complaint is that although Mr. Bern­stein
has only published two books, his ability as an
educator is superior. "After all" read a picket sign,
"Homer was only a two book man". They claimed
that Yale would lose a remarkable man, and called
for a review of tenure policy. The Tenure Committee
came back with a policy set down in October that
the educator must be creative as well as inspiring, and
Mr. Bernstein's works had been "uniformally un­original"
and "distinctly undistinguished". The prob­lem's
greater scope asks what the purpose of a pro­fessor
is; to serve the students or act in th interests of
the school's public relations. A similar situation is one
in which the professor crams the students, yet gives
no insight into the dimension of the educational
process. Finally it must be realized that a teacher who
busies himself with journals and publishing, can only
do so at the expense of his students.

WE BELIEVE ...
Campus ColorinCJ Book
By M. Jude Pino
In what or In whom do we believe'! Well, as a University
we believe in a number of things: and they are contained in what
is known as "The Credo of Fairfield University." This document
may be found In Ute CatalQgUe, it Is the flrst thing to meet the
e)'eS of the reader. How man)' of us have ever read it or given
it some thought? Fortunately for us all the Student Government
has done both, and soon we will be acquainted \1oith the results
of its consideratiqn.
I think more than a few will agree that the present Credo
is Inadequate as it stands. One reading reveals Utat everything
said is good and just fine, but something is lacking. For one thing
it is too defensive in tone. There is a distinction between an
apalogia and a creed, but our credo fails tq make that distinc­tion.
It seems to rely on the attacks of various modem-world
dangers for its existence, and in Utis sense it is defensh·e. We
appear to be sitting around campus awaiting the on-rush of the
"... 'isms' of ever)' sort (which) 5C(!k to ensnare youth by
spacious argumentation, . ,". Really, we are not the ''Minute­Men";
and our credo should not be principles wiUt which we ann
ourselves in order to fend ofT the enemy, The attack should
originate with us, but that docs not mean we step QUt with a
chip on our shoulders: "It Is the universities which should supply
the antidote of truth, and many of them are unwilling or unable
to fulfill their responsibilit)' , . , Fairfield University refuses
to subscribe , ..".
The Credo displays no initiative, it is reactiO)1aJ")', I would
think many young people reading it today might be insulted by
the atmosphere of catechetical sermonizing that it carries. In­stead
of stepping out and stat.lng what we believe as the founda­tion
for the kind of University we are, lhr- Credo opens by
taking Issue with sQmethlng else and concludes with a Jllliny of
"We believes:' What is said might almost be said of any Institu­tion,
educational or not because it conveys no idea of what
Falrfield University as an individual community of higher educa­tion
believes in,
So, our Credo is defensive, dogmatic and nQt reaHy applic­able
to us as a University. There Is no spirit, little eagerness to
challenge as well as meet the challenge, In general we might
say that It Is a beautiful cUche, What can be done about It?
That question has already been taken up by the Student
Government, as 1 mentioned earlier. It has passed out to various
students, faculty and members of the AdministratiQ1l a mim~
graphed copy of the "Proposed Credo of Fairfield University:'
There may be ditrerences of opinion as to the excellenCt! of their
achievement, but the men of the Student Government who are
involved in this prqjcct have given someUting badly needed. The
proposed Credo says something, and it says it about an individual
and particular institution in a manner that is not only palatable
but also intelligent. I cannot quote the entire statement but one
paragraph will show what I mean: "Believing that man is
elevated to a supernatural destiny, Fairfield University engages
with confidence in all aspiratiQnS of the human spirit. We recog­nize
the need and the intrinsic value of any properly human
endea,-'Or, and seek to atrirm our faith in God. by a continuing
search for deeper meaning in the personal and communal life
of man:'
Now, Utat is a true statement of belief: and for it the Stu­dent
Government shQuld have the support of students, faculty
and Administration,

SCHEDULE
By Paul Hupe.
On Friday, March 12. TOOl
Londrcgan's team beat Jim
Cleary in overtime, 56-54, to
win the 1965 Intramural Bas­ketball
championship.
The game lOoked like a rq;np
for Cleat'}' and his mates with
the half-time score being 29-13
In their favor. This bulge was
due to a very cold Londregan
tcam which couldn't cootain the
strong rebounding of Paul Kem~
ezis and the play making and
shooting of captain Jim Cleary.
At qne time the margin was
18 points in favor of Cleary's
Frosh·Soph team.
In thc second half howe\·er.
Londregan's tearn began to
whittle away at Cleary's lead,
primarily duc to the phenomen­al
outside shooting of Kevin
Fitzpatrick, who CQJlSistentl)'
dumped in shots from twenty­five
and thirty feel Tom Wilkos
set up Fitzpatrick with his ex­ccUcnt
rebounding and play­making,
With a minute left in
the game, Kemezls and Cleary
fouled out, and this was de­cidedly
a factor In the final out­come
of the game, With Lond.re­gan
trailing by one. Bill Me­Namnrn
sank a foul shot with
lhree seCQnds of regulation time
remaining to send the game
Into overtime.
Junior-Senior captain Londre­gan,
who played only a minutc
and a hair during regulation
time. entered during o\'ertbne
and after being fouled, sank an

only three seconds time, icing

points each for the losers, while
Trantulo and Caruso chipPed in

winners. Fitzpatrick was high
with 26 points while Sean Lavin

THE SPORTS DESl -Page Ten
With the closing of a successful basketball sea­son,
Stag patrons are already looking ahead to the
'65-'66 slate.
Bigger and better teams will be replacing op­ponents
which were victory-marks for the Stags, as
Fordham, Seton Hall, and Iona will give way to peren­nial
powerhouses in the likes of Vil1anova, Niagara,
and Duquesne. (One point worth mentioning - the
scheduling of these three latter teams is as yet unof­ficial,
although negotiations have also begun with
Xavier of Ohio, St. Francis of Loretto, and American
University of D. C.)
Along with the scheduling of these games, a seat­ing
problem is foreseeable, as 1,500 seats seem hardly
enough to meet the demands of the slate. One answer
proposed to alleviate this shortage would be to house
some of the bigger games at New Haven Arena, which
seats a very spacious 6,000. But one game before
6,000 seats is not very practical (not to mention the
economics) ; but, however, if a doubleheader were to
be arranged - say, in conjunction with another area
state school, U-Conn or Yale - then the Arena would
be ideal both in seating and location.
This is precisely what Director of Athletics
George B. Bisacca has been attempting for the past
three seasons. Both U~Conn and Yale have been looked
upon as possible court opponents, and both schools
have been formally asked, only to reply that "previ.
ous commitments" in their respective leagues force
them to decline the request. The Huskies of U-Conn
surely have committments in the Yankee Conference,
but why was American U. added to their schedule this
past season - a team they defeated by 40 and from
as far as Washington, D.C. Why have a team travel
300 miles and sink them in a 40 point drubbing in the
wooded wilds of Storrs, if one could have a top-notch
basketball game at the Arena, pitting two keen state
rivals against each other before a good-size crowd?
This would do wonders for the state's basketball pro­gram.
As it stands at the present time, Fairfield has an
('ven chance to topple the highly-touted Huskies _ a These are the final standings

earlier this year. The results
of that questionaire indicated
that 90% of the student body
at Fairfield would purchase
tickets to the football games
that would be held.
Even if we discount 10 or
15'10 Qf these answers due to
emotion at the time of filling
out the questionaire, the fact
remains that a very sizeable
majority of the students at
Fairfield are prepared to sup­port
a Football Club. Manhat­tan

why shouldn't we?
The Dean of l\lcn lit Manhat­tan
is requiring that $9,000 be

from each member of the stu­dent

Pcrhaps the greatest signifi­cance
of all is to see that New
York City's Colleges have come
around to recognizing the ex­istence
of Fairfield University.
Chis is not at all to be sarcas­tic.
It is a sincere joy to see
that Fairfield is being imitated
by the supposedly superior in­,
ititutions ctf the City.
Higbly atgnUicant in this re­port
is the fact that the Man·

has cited Fairfield as an ex­ample
of the spirit which is
necessary to take on lhe bur­den
of anything as huge as a
