The test will consist of 150
items, and a registrant will be

the test.
The test is designed to ex­plore
four areas-reading com­prehension,
verbal relations,
arithmetic reasoning and data
interpretation.
'The spokesman said it was
s.imllar to a general aptitude
test, with about 50 per cent
relating to verbal and linguistic
skills and the other 50 per cent
to quantitative reasoning.
He said the test had been
constnlcted so as not to give
any advantage to any type of
college major.
The formal announcement by

College students desiring to take the test must mall applica­tions

A selective service spokesman said one million draft regis­trants

criterion for eonslderatlon by local draft boards in detennining
student defenncnts.
"Selective Service strongly
urges that the students do take
it, as it provides one more bit

students are apparently more

spokesman said.

a sharp upturn in enlistments
had enabled it to cut its March

The rally, complete with
another bonfire, was proposed
by Fred Lucey at last Wednes­day's

with immediate approval and
an appropriation was passed
unanimously.
Another bUl, requiring the

also approved. Proposed by Paul

1966 I had the "privilege" of sit­ting
in on a session of the student
"court," If one can go so far as to call
it a "Court." I can honestly say that

this "court," and the feelings I

The most remarkable principle of
the "court," and might I add also one
of the most ridiculous, Is the fact that

Very Reverend Mcinnes:
On Friday, 11 February 1966 at ap­proximately
6:30 p.m., I was involved
In an accident on the Connecticut Turn­pike
in New Haven. In the course of
this accident I was sent through the
windshield of my car and then tossed
to the highway. I was conscious
throughout this whole incident. I
picked myself up of[ the pavement and
stood in a dazed state with numerous
lacerations about the head
Many people stopped at this point.
but no one did much until a young
man, a student at Fairfleld UniversIty.
took command of the situation. This
young man's name is Peter Daniels,
who resides at 70 Waterside Lane in
West Hartford. He directed adults to
call the State Police, and also to get
an ambulance. During this time he had
taken his shirt off and tom It up to
use as compresses on two large lacera­tions
on my head At the scene I did
not get his name, but a few days ago
he contacted the hospital to see how
I was. They gave him my home number
and he contacted me.
At Yale-New Haven Hospital the
doctors told me that his prompt and
the correct action he took probably
kept me from bleeding to death. If
this is so, and I have no reason to
doubt it, lowe my life to this young
man. I have at least tried to give a
new shirt and he will accept nothing
except the deep satisfaction of giving
help to his fellow man. I believe this
alone is an outstanding tribute to this
man especially in a mixed. up world In
which we live in today. Peter has been
and still is connected with the Boy
Good Samaritan
Over 180 atuden" ha.e been
placed on academic probation aa
a result of lut semester'a erades.
The STAG is initiating a aeriea
of edi:ori.la looking into .arious
poaaible causes for this alanning
fact, and hopes to recommend
pouible solutiona.
The first and most frequently
heard complaint from students
on probation has been that the
dorms are too noisy for study.
Perhaps this is only a superficial
answer to the problem. What
this complaint does, however,
is to put more pressure on those
responsible for making and en­forcing
dormitory regulations.
Just how noisy are the
dorms? The half dozen pre­fects
we have spoken with think
that it is no noisier, if not quiet­er,
than previous years, with
the exception of one or two cor­ridors.
More often the cause
may not be the actual volume
of the noise, but the constant
socializing that goes on during
study hours. This is harder to
escape than noise, and can't be
eliminated by merely sa;ring
"don't socialize". It involves
thoughtfulness and prudence,
both impossible to define pre­cisely.
Regardless, complaining about
the noise in the donns is im·
plicitly asking for stronger reg-
erences presented ia contusing. Prefer­ences
numbered one and seven (like
very much, and dislike very much, re­spectively)
ask for the student'S opin­Ion
as to his personal like or dislike of
the food: while preferences numebered
two, three, four, five, and six (extra­good,
good, fair, acceptable, and poor,
respectively) ask for a judgement as to
his objective (1) analysis of the
QUALITY of the food..
Perhaps a personal example will
clarify my complaint. I cannot stand
liver; I would not even look at It were
I dining at Maxim's of Paris. CoJlSeo'
quently, 1 have never eaten it here,
and thus do not feel qualified to pass
judgment on it. So, 1 rated it on the
poll with number seven. Perhaps,
though, It is good, i.e., properly pre­pared
and cooked: worthy of a gour·
met. I am sure that many students
shared my dilemma, for individual
tast<!S are as varied as snowflakes.
How is Szabo to know whether to
continue or to discontinue serving
liver'!' Just because I dislike it, shouid
hundreds who appreciate good liver be
deprived of it'!' Either the poll should
not have included preferences num­bered
one and seven, or it should have
stated two categories of food evalua­tion:
one of preference and one of
quality.

There are many other things which

To the Editor:
As regards )'our article in the last
issue of the STAG concerning the
latest additions of Jesuits to the fac­ulty
here at Fairfleld we would like
to call to your attention the fact that
one member was overlooked. The name
of Mr. Leo F. Fay, S.J., was omiUed
from your rather impressive list of
new faculty. ko Mr. Fay, S. J., is a
prefect on our corridor we felt that it
was our duty and obligation to make
this error known to you.
lli. Fay, S.J., a graduate of Boston
College High SChool, entered the sem­inary
at Shadowbrook. From there he
went to Loyola Semlna.ry in Shrub
Oak, N. Y. He received his Master's in
Sociology from Fordham University

man innocent until proven guilty? Ac­cording
to the student "court" this is
not so.
Another "tremendous" facet of the
"court" is the (act that a person,
usually a prefect (lay or Jesuit>, who
makes the complaint does NOT have
to appear in the "court," either to
back up his accusation or to be qucS*

Is this Justice! Maybe in
Falrfleld University it is, if so, then
to use an old cliche "there is no
Justice."
The mockery oC justice that I have
seen Is considered by many Stags a
means of appeal to the administration.
I feel, now, that this student opinion,
which I once held, Is completely C"r­roneous.
The "court," if it remains
as it Is, will always be just another
"TOOL" of the administration, and
continue the policy of "duping" the
students under the pretext of a helpful

'!be other puzzung thing
with this group Is that they
seem more aware of cheating
than any other group. It is p0s­sible
that this Is because they
are the one most cheated from,
but this should be reflected in
other groups. since those who
do the cheating are as aware
of it as those cheated from.
Something else that deservcs
comment is the (act that the
Falrfteld student looks upon
himself as a "typical Ameri­can
coIJese student". Taking
into consideration that this is
a rather vague classification, it
is still disturbing that a school
that claims to be an "innova·
tor" rather than an "imitator"
should produce a student body
which considers itself typical.
The lssue of the commuter is
another matter entirely. One re­calis,
looking over the statistics
which reveal an overly optimis­tic
view on the part of this
faction of the student body and
also a lower than average
rating ot their participation,
that the commuter has constant­ly
claimed that he Is never
given a chance to become a real
part at the over.all campus life.
In view of the survey, It might
be suggested that the day-hop
take a look at his own attempts
to become Involved before he
criticizes the dormitory student
fol' overlooking him.
Finally, It should be recalled
that this particular survey was
taken one and a hal!' years ago
asked to rate the lay faculty as
to high or low quality, this
group gave a rating of 4.7, as
opposed to a mean of 5.3. On
the question of the faculty
being open or c1osed"'l11inded,
this group again turned in a
rating 1.1 degrees below the
mean on a se\'en point scale.
The implication is clear, and
it is a clear condemnation of the
Business department. Without
making any reference to the
objecth<e quality of this depart·
ment, it is clear that these lay
faculty members are not p~
jecting an image that corres-­ponds
favarably with the gener­al
image projected by the fae­uity.
Lack of a positive image
often leads to lack of interest
and the consequent loss of aca­demic
enthusiasm and energetic
pursuit. If this happens, the Un!·
versity defeats its own function
as an educational institution.
The second thing that strikes
us in reading the study is that,
in general, the students with the
highest academic average turn
in the least positive image. Fair·
field is not challenging them
enough, not providing them
with the education they desire,
not giving them the quality
they desire. This is something
that could be accepted without
question except that when
asked to classify their involve-­ment
in cultural events (lcc­tures,
plays, concerts, film so­ciety
presentations), they turn­ed
in a rating that was below
the nonnal level of involvement
This would appear to indicate
that It is not so much the Uni­versity
that Is at fault as the
individual student who refused
to seek an education outside the
classroom as well as Inside It
I would suggest that, according
to this survey, the top student
Is not necessarily the most well­rounded
one, nor the most in-

Dear Grace ...
I am SOITy to;iCC that you arc such a typical meml>cl' or the
Ncw Breed, that brainwashed and unwashed mob, a thol'Oughly
revolting gcncration. They arc so bothersome, these endless
marches, prolests, and mountains of mlmcoed matter. Mark my
words; you will be getting in trouble with this decade's Joe
McCarthy, ending up in the wrong file in Washington, or, most
importantly, finding yourself too "controversial" to be a good
f'mplo)'ment risk. t will not say you are an "obvious" tool of the
radical It'lt; but how can :rou manage to attend classes in
.betwecn attacks on God, Mother, and country? You seem to
ha\'e such an affinity for lost causes, including the Ameriean
Indian. Why, you probably cheered Sitting Bull at the Little
Big Hom. Oh, for the past when students painted the town red
and did not act like reds! Perhaps, if you joined the Girl
Scouts
Your whole concept of authority Is completely in left field.
"In loco parentis" docs not mean a school administration can
act as loco as parents in handling students. They are there to
stimulate, guide. and mold. We are not given to arbitrary whims,
but are loving, kind. and slow to anger. There will be no re­criminations,
if you stop )'our inane, stubborn, and sophomoric
foolishness immediately.
You seem concerned about religion. I would say that you
were God's answer to normality. Only you do not like God We
are all concc.rncd about the relevance of religion on campus, as
renected in the sparse attendance at Mass. Perhaps we could
make the Chal:ael smaller. Personally, I would not like to use
bouncers to exclude "the least of the brethren," whether the)'
wore beards, blue--jeans, or rosary beads. But I would find out
their names, somehow; believe me! And where havc you been
getting those stories? No priest here prayed during the People's
Petitions (properly channeled), "Let us pray Cor those who have
rallen asleep." As long as they are there; that is all that counts.
And it Is only It malicious rumor that if Igna.tius came back
today he would become a Paulist.
How can you stand there and say that your theology and
philosophy courses are not relevant? I have been kieked in the
teeth so much by that cliche that my dentures are rattling. 5t.
Philomena preserve us! Why, It Is proximate heresy! What hap­pened
to your integrated curriculum? It is the combination of
Catholic Ma.thematics, Catholic ZOOlogy, catholic Accounting
etc., that make us relevant to the world (weU, our approxbna
lion of it). But you are always whining for a "community" (it
even sounds pinko!) that communicates. Do you realize wbat
that would mean? The students would have to "talk" to other
students: the lay faculty would have to "talk" with the students
as coUeal;ucs: the clergy would have to "talk" to the lay faculty
as proCessional educators: and the clergy would ultimately have
to talk with one another. Next you will be asking tor "dialogue,'
an encounter on controversial subjects. Oh, for a nice, c1ean-out
panty raid!
The tcnor of your letter, though, has made me deeply con­eerned.
Therefore, I am thinking of setting up a special board
of our regular standing committee to in....estigate along the lines
of executive management an amalgamated summary of your
problems.
and a negative one, exhorting
and admonishing with gentle
spoofs and sheer bufTonery. The
play culminates on an ambigu­ous
note. His shadow asks him
wh~' he is forsaking his home­land.
Gareth answers "I don't
know; I just don't know". The
audience seems to be left in
suspended animation realizing
that he must become an ex·
patriate, but with no logical
motive. This indeed could be
meant to transport us baek to
reality, but again in purely
Brcchtian fashion it might lead
the audience to make intelligent
judgement. I would choose the
latter.
The acting throughout is
superb and credible. Anyone
who has contact with old stock

tortured by her daughter lphi­genia's
murder and her hus­band's
long absence and fatal

chacterization the elegance and
regal bearing of a queen. Mrs.
Rumford, the Happy Heretic
Cassandra, is more the spark­ling
wit than awesome pro­phetess
with a habit of suiting
the forecast to the event. But
her comic manners, appearing
initially as a kind of traveling
witch .sans broomstick, belie the
many truths she speaks in jest.
It is she who lampoons the
"majority view" that entraps
Orestes in the highly lmaglnu­tlve
final scene. "Poetic justice
is always a simply solved equa­tion,"
she offers, sarcastic of
society's simplistic opinion In
the face of the situation's con:.·

Pr/tXithea (Katherine FarreJl) ,
The writings of James Joyce
exemplify and capture the en­dearing
and somewhat degrad­ing
aspects of nre on the Sham­rock
Isle. He highlights the
misguided sensualism and deep
mysticism that comprise the
lrish legend. Brian Friel has
rightly seized these themes and
has presented them In all their
majesty and artificiality. Like a
potent glass of Irish Mist,
Friel's "Philadelphia Here I
Come" delleately warms the
soul. Uke a fine mist in Dub­lin,
this David Merrick produc­tion
slowly rides in and envel­ops
the phantasm of the thea­ter
·goer. The play revives the
spirit oC Joyce, embodied In
Stephan Dedalus, who wishes
to extricate himselC from his
heritage. Mr. Friels deals with
the individuating characteristics
of the Irish - sentimentality,
sal'l::lonic wit, superstition, re­ligious
fervor, and the stigma
of frustrated love and passion.
Patriek Bedford, as Gareth
O'Donnell, handles the role ex·If1 'iI1
celJenUy with Donal Donnelly
as his alter ego. This is an al­teration
of Joyce's stream of
consciousness technique. As in
O'Neal's plays, the past haunts
and curses Gareth. His basic
problem revolves around his
relationship with his father, an
unfeeling man who elicits no
wannth and asks for none in
return. Because of this peculiar
relationship, Gar e t h reverts
to the memory of his mother
who died three days after his
birth. His father has never im­parted
any information con­cerning
his maniage: and life
with the wild young lady from
Sligo. Gareth's other difficulty
Is brought to light in his love
for the daughter of a wealthy
statesman. His lack ot security
and financial stability prevents
him from asking her father for
her hand, thereby losing her to
a doctor from Dublin who is
arrested two da:rs after the
wedding for stealing sheep. With
the longing for knowledge of
his departed mother and the
memory of fmstrated courtlihlp,
he agrees to venture to the
mechanized society of the
United States, having been in­vited
by his vulgarly Ameri-canized
Aunt. In her he espies
ir------------------------filwhat potentially might become otof hbeimIsnedlofcitfrihneataeldloiwnsthheismspoirreist
of our culture. He clings to a
fading hope that his father
might express his desire tor him
to remain. He wishes to hear
these tender lines "Once upon
a time a rainbow ended in the
garden" or "On a grand day in
May we fished together in a
blue boat". The simplicity of
these lines uncovers hia intense
emotional Involvement with the
past and also the theme ot the
play. The beauty of a relation~
6hip can be made manifest In
the slmpllst movement, action
or speech. Anyone of th~
can lead to a strengthening and
revitalization of a relationship.
While he ponders on his de­cision,
his alter ego bears test­imony
to the conflict raging
