This tremendous popularity
resulted In extensive personal

independent record producer.
He used them largely to provide
vocal backgrounds for other re-cording
artists. They did this
for two years. Finally, in 1962
Bob Gaudio wrote a song that
seemed just right for The Four

released on the Vee.Jay label

it caught the ear of the public
and became a national sensation.
The song was "Sherry,"
and it sold over a million copies.
From then on, one hit followed

written by Gaudio. These included

"patriots" who want to widen the Vietnamese

and the abolitionists [rom the American
list of folk heroes.
In 1944 Justice Hugo Black of the
Supreme Court agreed that it was
constitutional for the United States
government to place some 120,000
Americana (who happened to be of
the Japanese race) in concentration
camps in Colorado because their very
blood rendered them untrustworthy.
Black and others in high otrlce, including
Earl Warren, then governor
of California where DlO6t NiMlI lived,
have since been horrifled by the enormity
of that decision and have earnestly,
sincerely, justly and necesurlly
striven to make amends foc that act
of arrocance, racism and totalitarianism
brought on by war-time hysteria.
Under Earl Warren, the Supreme
Court has taken on the defense of the
Integrity of the individual In the face
of the increasing bigness, impersonalism
and dehumanization of modem
society. Consistently and magniftcently
the Court has read the "Bill of R1ghta"
as a bastion of the individual against
the claims, conveniences, pressures
majorities, big business or labor, or
self-righteous vigilantes. I have no
doubt that the "Warren" court is the
greatest fortress of freedom and defender
of the integrity of the Individual
in this nation today.
In regard, once again, to the 8-0 decision
against self.incrimlnation, Barry
Goldwater, late of the United States
Senate, said In his column of 1 J)e..
cember 1965 that the decision
"... was the only one it (the Supreme
Court) could have reasonably
reached. ... I applaud It wholeheartedly
in this Instance.
"All of the justices pointed out that
making a man reogister under the act
was, under any circumstance, making
him testify against himself In violation
of the Constitution's guarantee acainst
self-incrimination.
"It Is irritating to see the Communist
party gloat over the decision
and In any way aided by our laws.
HoYIever, it would be worse than ir·
ritating if a basic protection of our
freedom were thrown out the window
simply to inconvenience the Communist
............ . ...
party."

The defence of ffftdom by the Council

I feel moved to ask of what possible
use our University can be If a group
of young men, undoubtedly sincere and
WlQuestionably of Intellectual acumen,
can, after three of four )'t"arI of academic
Involvement here at Fairfield,
state that they believe that truth will
inevitably be deleated by a lie, given
an equal chance, and that the system
of political ideals which we have enshrined
in our Constitution are readily
subject to "subversion" by any and all
enemies. Such Is necfl;Sarily the unuttered
premise of your edJtoriai in
the issue of December 15th.
Gentlemen, It Is not a "marked inconsistency"
in our way of life that
we pennit any man amone us to hold,
and to state publicly, his beliefs, even
when these are nothing less than a
denial of our Constitutional ideals.
This is the strength and the glory of
our political system, and, to my mind
what is most truly Christian in it.
Let me state that your rallying cry
in favor of facism. for such is your
editorial, itself has a right to be printed,
subversive of our Constitution
though it be. I only hope that our University
will be ahown not to have terribly
failed its mission, and that your
readers will inundate you with refutatioNi.
In O1rist, our Lord,
James F. BreuabaD, s.J.
To the Editor:
Your editorial of December 15th on
the deciaion of the United States Su·
preme Court on the compulsory registration
of members of the Communist
party (8-0 sgalnst such registration on
the grounds that self-incrimination is
a clear violation of the 5th amendment
of the "BUl of Rights") was utterly
dismaying.
There are, to my mind. certain concepts
(among them relIgkJus toleration,
equality of opportunity, tree pub-party
has comparative facta and
figures with which to deal. Here,
we maintain. other Catholic in·
stitutions of higher learning can
make a positive contribution to
the settlement of the delemma.
Perhaps. through a corollary to
their recent statement - suggesting
ways and means of settlement
and pointing out the
strong points in relations between
Fairfield's faculty and ad·
ministration - our University's
chapter of the AAUP could rank
itself among the innovators in
Catholic educational circles and
contribute to a settlement of St.
John's difficulties.
Onward
The enthusiasm generated
within the student body as a
result of the accomplishments of
the basketball team is heartening.
That the enthusiasm has yet
to reach the uncontrollable stage
is a feather in the cap of those
who ardently support and cheer
the team to victory. We feel the
same confidence in the maintainance
of this well-displayed
spirit as we do in the future success
of the team. May it never
cease!
To the Editors:
One ultimate irony ahadows the
tragic events of our time: that in order
to defend freedom against a totalitarIan
Ideology, free men may d«lde to
adopt a totalitarian Ideology of their
own. Should that come to pass. tbe
freedom of the "free world" would
have perished, and over the whole
earth there would be darkness, the
darkness of slavery. The totalitarian
Ideology of Communism would no longer
be confronted with a true contradiction
and corrective of Its inhuman
principles, but would be reinforced by
the merely apparent contradiction of
fascism posing as "anticommunism".
This ultimate irony threatened our
planet during the years of World War
II. We have seen this self-defeaUn,
lie advanced over and over again aince
that time - in Senator Joseph
McCarthy, in the John Birch Society
-and we have seen it defeated. '!be
great source of victory has been the
faith of free men in the ultimate
strength of a system of freedom to
expose the fallacies of its attackers
whether they be from the right or from
the left. Only the persistent confidence
of free men in the power of free inquiry
to make the troth absolutely
clear, to unmask the lie of its contradiction,
has counterbalanced the
appeal of "anti-communism" as a totalitarian
ideological answer to Communism.
And, greatest grace of all,
we have heard the Church of O1rist set
forth in ringing afflnnatlons the
Christian contIdence that freedom cannot
but result in the ultimate domination
of truth over the lie; by its Decree
on Liberty, Vatican U has set
the capstone in two thousand years of
Western effort to pennJt the true spirit
of Christianity to humanize the city
of man. Read it, gentlemen?
In the very week of this last brave
defiance uttered by Christian men, the
editors of the STAG sat down to "dope
out" an editorial which begins "It Is
ironic that while thousands of Ameri·
can lives have been Jost ftghting the
spread of communism in Vietnam. the

Congratulations to the University
Chapter of the American

on its recent sland with regard
to the present situation at
St. John's University.
It is unfortunate that such a
situation was brought on in the
midst of an intellecual community.
The seriousness and abrupt
handling of the matter was undoubtedly
enhanced by that
very faet.
The Stag feels very strongly
about the rights of all sectors of
a University community. In particular,
the right of a professor
to teach, using truth and intelligence
as his weapons, must
never be shaken. The apparent,
(for the facts are not yet truly
clear), situation at St. John's is
indeed appalling and a mar on

Student J is found to be guilty by his having acted, not as
the principal offender, but as the one who aided Student I: specifically
that he drew attention to this aforementionel act.
No evidence has been elucidated to find any degree of guilt

STUDENT COURT DECISIONS
Students A, D, C and D were brought beron! this Court in
violation of;
section ill: 1a Cl) of the Student Handbook,
which deals specifically with "the possession,
retention or consumption of any alcoholic beverage
in a student's room or anywhere on
ampus."
Dear Fellow Students,
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the
enUre Student Body (or the lack of communication between the
Court and the University community which has existed s1Dce
the beginning of this semester up to the present time. I wiIh to
assure you that from now on the Court's decisions will be published
in this newspaper as soon as they are completed.
Also any open sessions of the Court will be announced at
least a day in advance through the use of signs or posters appearing
on the dormitory bulletin boards. However, only thoSe
in jacket and tie will be admitted to the session. All Court
hearings are held in the Campion Conference Room.
Thank you for )'OW' attention.
Wishing you the best of luck on your anal examinationS. I
remain,
This Court decides:
That there are many degrees of gambling. I'1lDIiDa from
the very serious to the inconsequential, and that in this ~
cular case the infraction of the regulation, as stated in the Student
Handbook '65-'66. was slight. Furthermore, the amount of
money involved was considered to be of a petty nature. "!be
Court wishes to state. however. that repeated or more serious
violations of this rule will be dealt with in a more sev~
manner. I
Secondly, the Court reatTinns Its decisl.:.... prevtously made
(cf. decision of the Court in Case No. 27 - 13 November. 19M)
that a student who takes late lights without proper perml.sca.
Is liable to one campus.
This Court, therefore ,hands down the fololwing sanctions:
Count 1 - (Gambling) - 2 campuses.
Count 2 - (No permission for late lights) - 1 campus.
Students I, J and K were brought before this Court in
violation d:
Acting in a manner unbecoming a Student of
Fairfield University.
This Court decides:
That precedent for this case has been establbhed in a bearIng
adjudicated by lAe Dean of Resident Students whose decision
was ultimately upheld by the Supreme Court of Fairfield
University. At this time the Court wishes to point out the seriotal
nature of this otTense. This infraction was perpetrated and committed
outside the physical limits of the University and therefore
its effects could have far reaching consequences by Injuring and
damaging the good name and reputation of this University. The
Court feels that in a case of this nature the maximwn should
be assessed.
This Court decides:
That since the defendants have pleaded "guilty with ex·
tenuating circumstances" It is the obligation of the Court in th1&
case to determine the degree of guUt and impose a corresponding
sanction.
It is apparent to this Court that possession and especially
consumption of any alcoholic beverage on campus is to be c0nsidered
a serious otTense at all times. While the offense is serious
this docs not mean that extenuating circwnstances cannot lessen
the degree of guilt - it certainly can. However, in this particular
case the Court could not nnd any extenuating circumstances of
a truly sutTiclent nature to lessen the guilt of the defendants to
any great extent. In their (avor, though. were the facts that
they have had good disciplinary records; and consumed a relatively
small amount of alcoholic beverages for a group of four
people. The Court does repudiate. however. the elTODcous c0ntention
of defense counsel when he stated that the rules in the
Student Handbook did not apply to the dormitory on that evening
(the night of the Blackout - November 9. 1965) because
a great majority of the students had left the dormitory. 'The
Court atTirms that the dormitory regulations apply at all and
any times when the Academic Year of the Univers.ity is in progress.
and in all situations. Keeping these facts in mind this Court
hands down the following sanction:
1. Suspension from the dormitories till the end of this
semester (Jan. '66).
2. Four camptaelJ, each.
3. Disciplinary probation till the conclusion of this Academic
Year '65-'66.
Students E, F, G and H were brought before this Court in
violation of:
Section m; subsection 2b of the Student HaDdbook
which dl!8.ls with gambling; and section
n; subsection 2 of the same handbook, c0ncerning

Some time ago the Uturgieal Commiulon issued a procIa·
malion censuring students for diaruptlng conununity services by
arriving late for Mass and warning those students that they may
be in danger of serious sin. Since that time eoDdItlo..... tbe

When a problem arises rrom people being in a certain
situation. the remedy lies in either changing the people or
changing the situation. Every honest man, being at least mildly
cynical, knows that if you try to change people you are doomed
to failure. 'Ibe only alternath'e left is to alter the situation.

What takes place at the Mass that causes atU<knta to
arrive late? Part or the answer lies in the &ennons. Most stu·

of the ecumenical council. In the light of this criticism, tM

The Fairfleld University chapter
of the A.A.U.P. also endones
the statement of the
Saint John's University chapter
of the A.A.U.P., as reported in
the NaUoaal Oathollc Reporter
(January 5. 1966, p,J): "Even
If competent replacements could
be found, it would still be impossible
for these replacements
to take over aU these classes
for the final three weeks or
a fifteen week tenn and evaluate
tenn assignments, give final
exams and compute final grades
in a responsible and proressional
way."
We must assert that the biterness
and recriminations bet\\'
Cen substantial numbers of
faculty and administration at
Saint John's should be repaired
by honest effort toward reasoned
and gracious dialogue. Nothing
less can repair the pres·
ent truly scandalous disunity
among men in the academic
community of Saint John's Un·
iversity.
Final
tion and trustees is the student.
The separation of thIrty-one
faculty members from their
students in the twelfth week of
the first semester in the scad·
ernie year is irTesponsible and
must have a catastrophic ef·
feet for the fonowing reasons:
(a) It is impossible for lacuI·
ty replacements to assume
in the final three weeks of
a ftlteen-\\-eek semester.
They cannot evaluate term
assignments, give final examinations,
and complete
final grades in a responsible
way.
(b) Graduate students will,
in some cases, be severed
from menters who were
guiding their research in
master and doctorate
theses.
(c) The suspension of the
chairman of the honors
council win undoubtedly
have adverse effect on the
best undergraduate students
at Saint John's.

a full inVestlpUOD into the
abu8es of faculty rights via the
method of summary dismlssals
and the abuse of faculty tenure
as recognized by the A.A.U.P.
and every university that abides
by its charter.
Because of the summary dismissals,
this chapter supports
the resolution adopted by the
New York MetropOlitan Conference
of the A.A.U.P.; "Under
present conditions at SaiDt
John's University:
(a) Refusal to cross a picket
line set up by one's colleagues
is not a breacll of
professional ethlca;
(b) Refusal by a (acuIty
member to asswne the
teaching obligations of a
dismissed colleague is not
a breach of professional
ethics."
There 11 nothing in the logic
of a university run under
catholic auspices which would
lead to or encourage the Infringement
of academic freedom.
In particular, we call at·
