states.

The present election schedul­ing
of the Student Government
encourages a mid-year slump in
its activities. We feel that hold­ing
eJections in January and in­stalling
new officers at the start
of second semester would elim­inate
this problem.
A system of this kind would
eliminate first semester fresh­men
and second semester seniors
from the Legislature. The fresh­men
will have an opportunity to
become thoroughly acquainted
with the members of their class
and with the workings of the
government be for e choosing
their representatives. The sen­iors

To the Editor:
Re.: TIle Student "Court"
At the present time. the student
body of this university has a golden
opportunity to effect important. re­fol'l1'\
8 in its present court system. A
special committee of the Student Gov­ernment
has been formed to consider
a possible student bill of rights. The
oonunlttp has drafted t.wo proposals
to date in regard to the court, namely:
that students should be considered in­nocent
until proven guilty, and that
prelects should be available to be sum­moned
by the defense for cross-examin­aUon.
I feel that these two proposals are
both reasonable and equitable. These
pf'OlXlSals are also supported by 250
endorsers of a petition seeking these
reforms. In circulating this petition,
I received only seven refusals. Obvious­ly.
the overwhelming majority of the
student body wants these monns.
In order to implement these refonns.
it will be necessary to obtain first of
all the approval of the Student Gowm­ment.
Students who support these
measures should seek the approval or
their class representatives. A similar
opportunity to obtain these reforms
may not preseltt itself again for some
time.
Students should have the right to
be presented with their accuser it they
deem it necessary to clarify the
charges against them. Secondly, the
integrity of the individual student
should be respected to such a degree
that he should be considered innocent
until proven guilty. Should the stu­dents
of Fairfield be denied such basic
riehts?

burdened wit h considerations
about graduation. However, the
previous officers would be avail­able
for guidance if needed.
The government would get an
impetus after semester break
from the new officers. The old
pl'oblems would be attacked
with new vigor. As the system
presently stands the newly el­ected
officers barely get started
when summer intervenes. Under
the new system the officers will
have an entire semester of ex­perience
from which to work in
formulating plans over the sum­mer.
We urge the Legislature to
look into the possibility of this
plan, to effect a more vital and
efficient government.
Reply to Pacetta
To the Editor:
As regat'd to Mr. Pacetta's letter
extolling the virtues of our democratic
system upon which our country was
rounded, I, as a Justice of the Student
Court, feel that some misguided views
need to be cleared up. His conception
of the CQurt as being an Instrument of
the administration is completely er­roneous;
the Court was set up to hear
cases of original jurisdiction. 'nIC com­plaints
sent in by the Prelects for abo
judlcation are considered as affidavits.
This is logically sound because It nec­essarily
prevents the Introduction of
the representatives of authority as
witnesses for the prosecution. U this
were not so, then one would witness
a mockery of justice and the degrada­tion
of authority, if the defense would
cross-examine the Jesuit and lay pre­fects.
These men are the duly consti­tuted
symbols 01 authority in our com­munity.
If they were to be submitted
to cross-examination, all respect would
be lost. Presumably chaos In the dis­ciplinary
system would ensue, and the
Fairfield student would attempt any
means to comer his accuser. A de­mocracy
Is based on the voluntary con­sent
of the people and the respect in­vested
in that authority.
Another facet of the Court which
seems to be dormant Is the right 01
a student to file a complaint against
another student. When our present
constitution was drawn up, its writers
assumed that the maturation process
would have given him added responsi­bility.
In this case, the court is em­powered
to decide the guilt or inn0­cence
of a particular student. The fault
lies not in the Court's failure to assert
itself, but in the student's admission
or lack of maturity on his part because
he fails to take a stand In executing
disciplinary policies here at Fairfield.
I refer you to the recent STAG edi­torial
which cites the failure of the
Corridor Council as a prime example
of the student's neglect to assume re­sponsibility.
When the students of Fair_
field University realize that they have
the means of sell government right be­lore
them. only then can the Court be­come
autonomous. The Court was in­stituted
to provide the impetus for
the assumption of responsibility by the
stud~nt. When the students realize this
also, they wiD have at their disposal
a Court which will Insure their basic
rights.
RespectfuUy yours.

The anlcle by Frank CUnningham on
the "Student Image of Fairfield Ex­amined"
<:ontains serious errors. Firm
conclusions on this type of research
data are quite tenuous. If I might para­phrase
Dr. DiRenzo's own words. "One
can determine the quality of a barrel
of wine from one sample. but this Is
not the case when sampling people's
opinions." I might add that "clear"
conclusions are rarely drawn from a
study of this type.
According to Table 5 (page 15) of
Dr. DiRenzo's study, the Business Ad­ministration
students rated the faculty
4.78 which is a positive rating accord­ing
to his standard of 3.5. 'The question
that remains Is the 4..78 rating alpJ­ftcaatly
different from the 5.01 rating
given the faculty by the whole sample.
When the difference is divided by the
standard error of the mean, no 11&:­nilk:
ant difference is revealed. Thus.
the variation, according to accepted
statistical procedure. Is due to chance
or sampling procedure.
It should also be pointed out that
only 27 (13.3%) BBA students parti_
cipated in the study. If we can assume
a proportionate share or Freshman
(26.6%1, then 7 out of these students
in 1963 were never exposed to a mem­ber
or the Business (acuIty. In ad­dition,
the Sophomores (26.1%) or 7
more BBA students received instruc­tions
from only one member of the
Business faculty. Therefore. less than
one hal! of the 27 or only 13 students
had been exposed to more than one
member of the Business faculty.
What can we conclude from last
\l,'eeks Stag article? "The only "clear"
conclusion 01lC can draw Is that M.r.
Cunningham does not ha\'C! the vaguest
notion about sampling procedures.

Misunderstanding
To the Editor:
In last week's article on the Catho­lic
Education Forum sponsored by the
Sophomore Class, there appeared the
Statement: "Although 12 faculty
members have been approached. none
has yet volunteered for the symposi­um."
This is in fact an erronf!OUS
statement as several of the faculty
members I had contacted were very
willing to participate in the affair. In
no way should the impression have
been given that the faculty was not
interested or enthusiastic about this
Class activity.
I regret the error on my part thal
led to the inclusion of this Inaccuracy
in the article, and I apologize to aU
concerned.

Judging from the receJlt Issues of

apparent that the license to criticize

in the minds or the young men
who support and contribute 10 these

I have no condenmation to level on
the heads of these authors. It cannot
be denied that their words are hat'llh

cannot be constNed that bitter words

wondered how Fairfield Uni­versity.

be so liberal and at the same
time have a reputation for

in mind, I left Milwaukee with
a rather optimistic point or
view. Our problems are rela·
tively small compared to those
of our counterparts.
The biggest problem at Fair­field
Is that our Government is

this can be overcome. For a
Student Government to work

of this conference was to dis­cuss
the role of Student Gov­ernments

to the Student Go\'ernment at
Jesuit Colleges. I
On the agenda were such
topics as International Affairs,

and Social-Political Problems,
etc., but each of us was aware
of the fact that we were not
there to discuss sueh Idealistic
topics. Each delegate had come

that he hoped would be solved
by another school. In the Ught
of this the agenda was changed

We've had a quadrangle for six months. But we haven't
done anything with it yet_ Oh, we've had intennittent NIT
rallies that didn't get us there; and the troops threw themselves
into a brief but massive snowball battle one cold, boring night.•
But we haven't seriousI)' asked ourselves what this court be­tween
the dorm and the cafeteria means for us as students or
Stags (take your pick) of Fairfield University. Are we going to
let this huge mud puddle go to waste? As conscientious students
- no! We cannot!
Circumstances may force us to use the quad for a very
practical purpose. With the University being sued for tossing
dormitories onto somrone's front lawn, we may have to set up
tents or erect temporary hovels on the quad for next year's
freshmen. lIt will have to be freshmen, of course. They don't
have the maturity for responsible dorm life. They would pin up
Playboy calendars, or something. No. a tent is the best place
for a freshman). But this arrangement will not be permanent,
and we will still be faced with the challenge of doing something
creative and intellectual with our quad.
At the present time, the only Indlvldual who has made
creative use of the territory under discussion has been Snoopy
(soon to be awarded the tiUe of Mascot of Student Morale and
given a new office in Suarez Hall), who occasionally engages in
a creative romp with someone's suit jacket in the quad mud.
What I am suggesting, calling for, demanding, is that we have
a few speeches, debates, or either radical rightist or radical
leftist rallies in our quad. somewhat In the same fashion as the
ones that occur in Columbia University's fine quadrangle. Per·
haps Mr. Petry could coaeh us in the fine art of quadrangle
debating from the experll"OC'C of his Columbia da)·s.
There are several obstacles to this, [ know:
1. It's cold out there. But, if you want to be naturalistic
about it, when the warmth and sap of spring starts flowing,
there is no I'eason why Sl>ontaneous f1areups of outdoor Intellec­tual
controversy couldn't happen.
2. It's mudd)'. That will take care of itseU, however. In
the spring new grass seed will be planted and more straw will
be scattered over it. The students, of course, will continue to
tramp across it, grinding the straw into the mud The heat of
the sununer sun will bake this mixture. This, as our archeology
majors know, I!> the age old fonnula for making adobe. By next
year we will ha\'e a nice hard adobe quadrangle upon which to
gather.
3. We will most likely have to reserve the quad in advance
through the regular channels (or labyrinth), which, unfortunate­ly.
introduces a little planning into our spontaneity.
So, we see, the obstacles are not insurmountable.
There are some very pressing issues that demand to be
debated in the quad. We could discuss the peaceful use of snow
power. Fr. CUllen and Dr. DIRenzo could debate Italian tribal
morality. And the Knights of Columbus could defend their odd
doctrine that Christopher Columbus disco\'ered America..
Anyone who ....'ould like to donate a soapbox or, better still,
a desk from Gonzaga dormitory that we can use for speakers to
stand on in the quad can get in touch with me through the reg.

make snowballs if we can find a peacefUl use for them). Actually,
this regulation could be ps)'chologically and morally disastrous;
many students on non-ro-ed campuses sublimate their sex drives
by throwing snow. If more snowballs had been thrown this year
we wouldn't have had to tape Playboy pinups on our walls, and
some of our fine young Christian gentlemen (cr. John Henry

Jazz
theil, deals with the validity of
American jazz as a form of
worship in the Roman Catholic
Chul'ch, since it has already
been accepted, at least to some
extent, by the other American
faiths.
The Church is an institution
that has sustained the on­slaught
of time for 2000 years.
The reason it has been able to
withstand the political, moral,
and economic changes which
have logically accompanied this
period of time, lies in the fact
that the Church adapts tble1f
to the changes of contemporary
life. Such innovations as the
folk Mass, and the new liturgy,
radical concepts only a decade
ago, are now a world-wide reali·
ty. Why then should American
jazz (the only true art fonn
that America as a culture has
contributed) be neglected! The
folk Mass and. the new liturgy
were inno\'ated so as to give
the individual a greater sense
of participation and understand­Ing
in the functioning of the
Mass as a religious ceremony.
American music is now. and
Indeed always has been, the
conunon denominator of man's
relationship to man; why, then,
should American music not be-­come
the common denominator
~f glan's relationship to God?
It seems that the concept of
music-worship has echoed even
in Rome. Only recently, during
the Ecumenical Council, the
Pope assisted in the presenta­tion
of the Ethiopian RUe as
a function of the Mass. Drums,
cymbals, and a variety of string
Instruments were utilized in the
execution of this part of the
Mass. Here In America, Paul
Hom and Lalo Schifrin have
compoSed a jazz Mass 'Which
has been presented and over·
wl:ielmingly received in Maine.
Massachusetts, and California.
Where is the jazz Mass
going? We can only say this:
jazz has proved itself to be the

American morals and
American culture; perhaps jazz
will soon prove Itself to be the

The Mass grew basically from

Academy Praised
To the Editor of the STAG:
I feel that your article on the Stu­dmt
Academy needs some clarification.
You have apparently over-generalized
from the facts of one meeting and
ha"e given a false impression concern­Ing
the interests of members.
For the .ft.rst time notices for such
meetings were not given out at the
usual time. They were one month in
advance, covering two meetings. Hu-man
nature as it is., tber'e is a tendency
to forget. as what happened. Also if
you recall. there was a holiday on the
following day. It 15 the custom of mem­bers
of the Academy to notify tlIe
President when they do not expect
to attend, and this custom was ob­served
by most of those who were not
present.
Such a vast generalization from only
one meeting seems to me to be a
gross generalization and indicates a
lack of sensitive perception. Actually.
attendance at meetings has been ex­cellent.
:Maybe such infonnation was obtain­ed
from a few members who feel that
they are wasting their time. But ac­cording
to the purpose of the Academy.
their opinions can be voiced within the
group at any time a ~ber wishes.
Complete free expression is aUowed at
the sessions for anyone to speak his
mind about the school or any activity
in it.
I would like to take this opportunity
to Inform any student that It he would
like to suggat any topic for dlscu:;­sion.
the door to Fr. Mclnnes' otrice is
open to aU students. or if they would
prefer. contact me. Rumors, statements
and the attitude "they will De\'er 58)'
yes" to'A'ilI'ds the Administration or the
Faculty in their decisions, methods or
attitudes about the students can very
easily be cleared up when ooth sides
are heard from. Wild tumon are evi­dences
of a closed mind and can only
lead to strained relations. The Presi­dent's
Academy has its basic objective
to replace tumor by fact.
I hope that in the future an honest
appraisal will be made based on all
the factors concerned.
Sincerely.

To the Editor:
Dear Sir,
In the March 9th. 1966 issue of The
Sta&", you published statements which
cannot be SUbstantiated. Specifically,
you said that "the most flagrant ex­ample"
of spoils system politics in Mr.
Bannon's appointments to the Execu­tive
Board was "the dubious choice"
of Michael Griffin as Social Chairman.
These statements were certainly sen­sational
but unfortunately not true.
First. it is GUM Promotions, QOI. Pr0­ductions.
Secondly. this )'ear The
Bleach Boys have played 75% fewer
engagements than last yew at Fair­field
and the other colleges which
deal with Fairfleld's Social Olainnan.
Thirdly. although GUM Promotions is
an entertainment booking agency,
Fairfield University receives this ser­vice
gratis. Finally. whereas Mr, Ban­non
and I are presently roomates. this
was nol. tlIe case at the time of the
appointment.
Speaking as a member of the Execu­tive
Board. I welcome all criticism of
a constructive nature. However. super­ficial
and misinfonned c:ritlcism, such
as appeared in last week's editorial. Is
worthy only of disdain and pity.
Respectfully,
