Amenclme.t Debated
Of the five bills on the agen·
da, two were passed and three
were defeated.
The first that passed was the
proposal of Fred Lucey (or an
amendment to the by-laws of
the constitution. According to
this bill the administration will
have fifteen sehOol dayS to de­cide
on a Government bill or it
will be accepted as law.
Despite the objections of Ter­ry
Smith who said that such
a bill "would force the adminis­tration
to be under us" the
proposal failed to pa5S through
with the necessary two-thirds
majority to become part of the
constitution.
Mr. Lucey's suggestion "for
the establishment of an Afro­Asian
history course next year,"
received unanimous approval.

1be STAG editorial of March
9, which advocated active lead­ership
by the Executive Com­mittee,
was strongly criticized
by President Bannon, who as­serted
that he had signed 36 of
the 38 bills he received, vetoing
only two.
ExpJalning why he had not
refuted the "allegations," he
said "I would not lower myself
or the Student Government" to
answer an article "plagued with
misinformation."
However, hc did give "(ull
endorsement" to the STAG's
suggestion to change otrlcers

At the last ...eeting of the
Student Government, the legis­lators
were treated to a c0m­pletely
unique experience. Presi­dent
David Bannon, in one of
his rare appearances before the
representatives, gave a long·
awaited progress report on sev­eral
bills.
The report was prompted by
a recent law making such a
monthly report compulsory.
Discussing the progress of
the Student Bill of Rights, he
explained that It Is presently
being worked on by a four-maD
committee and "should be out"
before Easter recess. By the
same date Mr. Bannon "would
like" nominations tiled for the
Spring elections.
A proposal to extend the
"corridor councils:' an accom­plishment
of the Government,
to the sophomores was defeated
by the administration. "In fact

To the Editors:
It was pleasing to see In last week's
issue of the STAG that there are still
some people around this campus who
have retained a sane mind toward
lhe acl~ of our administration. We all
admit that improvements can, should,
and will be made i but continual pro­lest
from the student body followed up
with more protests, personality con­flicts,
and personal feuds week after
wcek. are lxlring and tiresome.
t would like to thank Kevin McGov.
ern for his interesting and refreshing
article in last week's STAG. It had a
sense of honesty, truth, and exceUent
taste. We are lucky to have students
like Kevin at the helm of our student
government and conununlty, whal­ever
its faults may be.
1 hope that I have not stimulated
any of the dormant protesting minds
to begin a cantllct of childishness with
me in next week's STAG even though
there are probably faults with th~ let­ter.
Again. a note of thanks to Kevin
McGovern, one which J am sure J
share with others.
Sincerely yours,
Charles Donato, '6'7
"Student Government" could do some­thing
positive for a change, something
for this University. Appropriating suffi­cient

Editor, THE STAG
Fairfield University
Fairfield, Conrwctlcut
D<lar Sir,
I would like to disagree strongly
wilh Ideas on the concept of faculty
moderator which were expressed in
"Letters to the Editor" In your March
9th issue.
To speak of a student under a mod­erator's
"control" and to deplore the
fact that the expression of a student
was "allowed" to be published seems
to me to misunderstand the role of the
faculty moderator of any collegc or­ganization.
A moderator's function is to en·
courage the development of the stu­dent's
sense of responsibility. The mod­erator
should aid the student In seeing
all sides of whatever issue with which
the student is concerned, raise ques.
tlons overlooked by the student, chal­lenge
him with options unthought of
by the studcnt, advise him on a course
of action (usually only when solicited
but occasionally on the moderator's
own initiative) but 06'\'er to make a
final decision for the student. The
latter grows In maturity only in so far
as he Is forced to take on respon­sibility
for Actions he decides himself.
Oftentimes the student benefits most
whcn those actions tum out to be
wrong.
There must be no censorship or
benevolent authoritarianism or pater­nalism
at a university. Growth Is POf;.
sible only where there is freedom _
freedom to criticize, make mistakes
and freedom to respond maturely to
criticism and errors.
No one likes criticism but we of the
university - students, professors, ad·
ministrators - must be big enough to
accept it and respond constructivel)'.
And we professors - and adminis­tration
- must realize that healthy
students are precisely those with jaun­dlred
eyes.
To the Students of Fairfield Universl·
ly:
1be family of Patrick Burke extends
Its sincere and heartfelt appreciation
for the many messages of sympathy
received and especially for the num·
erous Masses requested by you, the
students of Fairfield, for the repose
of the soul of Pat. We can never hope
to repay your kindness and wlll al­ways
~ive consolation from the
spiritual generosity of your response.
We send our special thanks to the
classmates and teammates of Pal who
expressed their personal sorrow and
offered their prayers at the wake and
funeral.
We know that through :)"our many
Masses and prayers that Pat will
always be a part of Fairfield_

To The Editor:
It is very patriotic of Fairfield Uni­versity
to fly the American Flag In
front of Bclarmlne Hall, where every­one
coming to and leaVing the Universi­ty
can see It. This truly is an Ameri­can
gesture, but I think the founding
fathers of this great counrty would be
offended to see the tattered rag that
this University calls an American Flag,
the symlxll of democracy.
Perhaps in return for all the things

Voice Of Dissent
knows who the editors are, Some
articles are initialed, yet there
is no place to check the identity
of these "three letter men,"
The tone of the entire publi·
cation is extremely negative. The
general impression is that the
administration is totally un­aware
of what is going on, and
their main interest lies only in
PATERNAUSM (!). The stu­dents
are thought to be apathe·
tic (except, of course, the writ­ers
of the Sophomore news­letter.)
Another source of legitimate
criticism and news could be an
addition to the campus - and
we would welcome competition.
We would expect, however, that
the writers of such a publica­tion
would exercise some of that
responsibility which they are
continually demanding the ad­ministration
to give them.
referred to Mr. Grill'in as a poor
choice and a dubious choice because
of a "seeming con1l.ict of interest," we
were not attempting to evaluate the
work that he has done as Social Chair­man.
Although Mr. Griffin has done a
good job, we still maintain that he
was a poor choice for that position
because, as a member of the Bleach
Boys and as Social Chairman, he was
placed in an extremely delicate situa­tion.
Either the university stood to lose
by having fewer engagements of the
Bleach Boys on campus or Mr. Grlll'in
was in position where his reputation
potentially could suffer.
We regret that we left ourselves
open to misunderstanding and we sin­cerely
hope that we have done justice
to Mr. Griffin by clarlCying our pre­vious

labratory periods accompan­ing
them. If holidays fall on
the same day twice it leaves the
student far behind in perfonning
his required amount of work.
To keep within these pre­scribed
boundaries, it is neces­sary
that holidays occur once
on each day of the week and
possibly twice on one day.
This semester opened with a
holiday 011 Monday. We had a
Tuesday off as a result of Wash­ington's
birthday, We will have
a Thursday and Friday off prior
to Easter Sunday as well as As­cension
Thursday toward the
end of May.
Therefore the only possible
date available was a Wednes­day,
which was strategically
placed to break up the long peri­od
of school days. This day, it
was hoped, would enable stu­dents
to rest or catch lip follow­ing
the sometimes grueling tests
of the past few weeks.
When we referred to Mr. Griffin as
the most flagrant example of spoils
system politics, we were not challeng­ing
his qualifications for the job;
rather, we were commenting on the
manner In which he was appointed.
One has only to consider the spoils
system appointment of Robert Ken­nedy
as Attorney General to attain
our perspective. Furthermore, when we

An editorial entitled "'The O1allenge
of Leadership" appeared in the March
9th issue of the STAG. The ostensible
purpose of this article was to evaluate
the Bannon administration of the Stu·

evaluation, we had recourse to refer to
Mr. Michael Griffin, Bannon's appoin­tee

due to a lack of clarity on our
part, we ran the risk of placing Mr.
Griffin in a bad light.
It appears that the "New

At first I told myself that
their aim was to shake us, the
students, from our apathy. But
soon I decided that our "apa·

launch an attack upon the
Jesuit campus. And the Sopho­more
newsletter became the
media for their attack which
took shape through phrases and
editorials of meaningless but
intellectual witicism, such as:
"ignorance is bliss - we are
all happy here at Fairfield", and
"Jesuits did create one thing
in me .. consciousness of
rcar". But soon I began to
Question how I could come to
my decision concerning the
Sophomore leaders from just
their editorial attitude.
Then, March 15, the Sopho­more
leaders found a forwn for
their attack. They brought on
to the campus what promised
10 be an oIX'n battle for-a-nlght
against not just the Jesuit uni·
v(,l'sity system, but the whole
Catholic university system.
TIley named it ''The Possibility
of a cathollc Education", and
il seemed aimed toward their
belief in the lmposslblJlt)' of the
Catholic university. Perha~
they hoped to capture in one
night the discontented and
"apathetic" minds of the stu­dent
'body. If so, their goal was
thwarted by the lack of attend·
ance of the students and the
excellent handling that Fr.
Coughlin gave to Dr. Lauer,
in her inference that catholic
ed u cat Ion was impossible
through her weak attempt to
provoke an argument over "the
possibility of an atheist philos­ophy
teacher in this school:"
and to Vin Walsh, who openly
stated that he felt the Catho­lic
university was opposed to
the concept of a worthwhile
and true university. Vin Walsh
stated that he said this for one
reason: because in a Catholic
university lhere is commitment.
and commitment destroys the
search for truth.
But whether their hope was
seemingly thwarted mea n s
nothing. The fact remains that
the basis of the protest has
been opened to us through the
words of one of its adherents.
The leadel'S of the Sophomore
class seem to feel that the
Catholic university is wrong
and should not exist because
of its commitment, which is,

"Light Out of Darkness" is so
applicable to Ray and his work,
in so many ways that it may
well become the theme by which
he will be known in future
years.
Through his wonderful world
of music, Ray has brought light
out of darkness unto himself,
and the resulting inspiration
shines in his every performance.
Not only has he found his own
personal light, but by means of
his sensitive and deeply person­al
performances, he has shined
a light into dark areas of the
world where there are few rays
of cheer. He Is truly "The Gen­ius:'
A concert by Ray Charles is
a fitting way to bring the great
Dogwood Weekend to a close.
Sitting on a Sunday afternoon,
listening 10 the relaxing sounds
of such gr('at Charles records
as "Hit the Road Jack," "I
Can't Stop Loving You." "Born
to Lose" and countless other
hits is a perfect close to the
most promising weekend 01 the
school year.
Innovations
Although he draws upon es­tablished
material in lhe jazz
idiom, in the popular realm, and
in the rhythm and blue domain
for tunes to record and perform,
mor(' than ninety percent of Ihe
numbers recorded and played
by Ray Charles before live
audiences are his own com­positions.
Ray is a perfection·
ist - a man who knows what
he wants. His compositions are
arrival at in the final completion
only after a long drawn-out
process that may tIP. the result
of many weeks or even months
of work.
Ray is universally liked by
others in the music business ­a
business not known for its
charity or kindness. It is a
tribute to the great character
of the artist that has endeared
him to all members of his pro­fession.
Charles sincerity haG
been responsible for this. All
who know Ray see this, and
they can not help but be im­pressed
by it.

to star in his first motion pic­ture,
"Ballad In Blue," to have
its United States' premier April
11, 1966 In New York CIty. The
film although not a biographi­cal
one, depicts the special
shadowy world of the blind,
and is a heart-warming story of
the troubled world of a young
blind boy, inspired by the opti­mism,
sensitivity and guidance
of Ray Charles. Even though
the plot of the film Is fictitious,
many of the elements in it are
factual and Ray himself has
said, " I play myself. I'm not
really an actor and probably
couldn't play the role of anyone
else."

has achieved his goal.
Ray is a deeply religious man,
so much so, that his music has
been often criticized for stem­ing
from his early religious
training, and the music he
heard in church as a child. Ray
disputes this by saying, "My
music CQmes from the way I
feel and not from being in·
fluenced by Gospel music."
To Ray Charles music is a
way of life, not just a career.
Ee is very articulate in his
work. He frowns upon people
whom once they are successful,

"THE GENIUS"
After many trying moments in their search Cor a big name performer for the annual spring
weekend, the Dogwood Festival Committee is pleased to announce that they have contracted
the internationally renowned Ray Charles to perform in concert as the climax for a most exciting
weekend. Ray, accompanied by Raelcts, and his orchestra, will appear on Sunday, May 8th
at two o'clock in the University's gymnasium.
Ray's career rocketed to success following his first smash hit, "Georgia on My Mind:' His

The Charles' legend began developing when he leCt school to go out on his own. While
in school, he had acquired some musical knowledge, and he had no trouble getting jobs in

guitar to blend with his piano and sax. Gaining wide aeeeptance In Florida, the trio eventually
wound up in SCattle, Wash., where Ray says he experienced one of his biggest thrills, as well
as one of his first big breaks. His trio appeared on a regular radio show in the city, and lhl.'y

Ray Charles said this first trio sounded more or less like Nat "King" Cole. Cole was the
first great musical influence on the Charles talents. "But," says Ray, "J knew I had to change
if I was going to get anywhere. I knew I had to develop a style of my own:' He did do this with
sincercty as his watchword. Soon The Genius succeeded in following his conviction that music

STUDENT LEADERS
Why does a student run for otIice? Because he believes
either that he is qualified to achieve set goals or that he de­serves
any fame or glory that might accrue to him from this
position. Unfortunately the latter motivation propels by far the
more adherents.
Even 50, if once they attained these positions, they filled
them well, no one could truly complain. But too many of our
ofIicers, both class and Student Government, regard their offices
as sinecures in which to grow full, fat and flabby. (Justice de­mands
that !>uch oUUitanding exceptions as the student justices,
sophomore class o!!icers, the S.G.V.P. and a few others be here
noted.) Minimal possible accomplishment seems to be the
highcst goal desirable.
Blaming failure on student apathy (if the terms can still
be used in a non-humorous context) is the weakest and most
popular excuse open to student leaders. Students fail to par.
ticipate only when the leader falls either to excite or to Interest
them in a project.
Part of the class and S. G.'s difficulty also arises from the
popular fallacy that the academic, the social and the cultural
arc incompatible. Arrogating to themselves merely the social
gravely limits their possibilities.
THE STAG
In spite of the efforts of its moderators and a few of its
editors and statI' members, the STAG has attempted to set news
standards of prejudicial superficiality and factuity which the
future would find dilIicult to duplicate. Perhaps the best symp­tom
of the current illness was the penetrating analysls of the
recent probation for which the STAG found the crux of the
problem to lie in noisy donns. Another symptom is the untime­liness
of its Student Government criticism. In October or even
November or December, criticism might have been effective
and constructive. But March? A few weeks before elections?
Most of the statr accept this present dreary state of.aJfairs
with a terrible calm and self-content. This, combined with a
lack of innovation and a lack of creativity, discourages many
budding young writers. And it is this very lack of appeal which
perpetuates the STAG's sad state.
,
Of course these are not our only faults. But if we as stu­dents
wish to be a significant factor in the life and development
of the University, we must seize the initiative to create. And
the Student Government and the STAG arc our two most
potentially creative ouUets.

Stagland
No sooner had the past basketball season ended
than important preparations were underway for the
1966~67 Stag team. Last week coach George Bisacca
attended a convention of the National Association of
Basketball Coaches in conjunction with the NCAA
held in Washington, D. C. Coaches from every main
section of the country gathered chiefly for the pur­pose
of dickering with other coaches and possibly ar­ranging
games and filling team schedules.
In the process of these negotiations coach Bisacca
was pleasantly surprised to fmd out just how far Fair~
field has come along the road to national recognition
this past season. He repeatedly found himself con~
fronted by interested coaches who knew all about
Fairfield's fine season and were eager to add us to
their schedule&. Coaches fl·om places such as the
SOllthwest and Pacific Coast had not Ollly "heard" of
Fairfield but discussed the success of our past season
with a great deal of admiration.
All this was rather eye openin${ and satisfyinJ{ to
say the least. Bisacca pointed out that instead of try~
ing to explain our position to unfamiliar coaches he
found himself on the receiving end of congratulations
and invitations to play all ovcr. The point being made
is that despite the lack of an N.1.T. bid the team made
enormous shides this season, even bigger than Bisacca
himself had realized, and it is unmistakably clear
that the team's hard work has resulted in well de·
served acclaim by the most knowledgeable men in
college basketball.
As f.ar as any specific changes are concerned,
nothing new has been definitely arranged for next
season. J-1owevcl', such schools as Morehead Slate,
Marshall, Western Kentucky and Toledo all expressed
sincere interest in playing us while a couple of out of
state tournaments have us under serious consideration
for bids. Another bij:r item was the good possibility of
playing a game at Madison Square Garden next FelP
ruary.
Naturally. nothing is definite as of yet and not
everything will work to our advantage, but certainly
with so many things going for us we have good reason
to be optimistic for the future. Bisacca pointed out
that as long as we keep winning and getting bigger
within the next couple of years there are definitely
going" to bc problems with scheduling. The only way
to beat this is to keep winning and become a perennial
power, a "must" on the beller clubs schedules. But it
will take morc time and a lot more winning.

Kevin "The Shot" Fitzpatrick
has always possessed an obses·
slon for the game of basketball
In a sense, basketball at Fair­field
owes a small debt to Kevin
because his ardent support has
set a spirited example for other
Stags to follow.
Sitting next to Fitzle at
basketball contests is a near
impossibility. He has become
noted for "twisting gyrations"
nnd is generally recognized as
"the most avid Stag supporter".
'·1 was fortunate to have been
brought up in a sports-con­scious
area" says Kevin in ref­erence

freshman team 07-4) that
started Fairfield on the climb to
national recognition. He is best
remembered for 8 clutch over~
time points In the Stag victory
over the St. Peter's freshman
club.
Fitzie's intramural play has
been equally impressive. He
scored 27 points to win last
year's intramural tournament

He is presently showing tel'·

at 66-63 with two minutes
left. The Cmen were not to be
rallIed though. They controlled
the ball and waited for the good
shot as they ran out the dock
and assured their win.
The biggest factor In the
Campion victory was probably
the advantage in depth. They
used their starting team to do

unit gave them a breather

nus was the long awaited show
down between the two remain­ing
undefeated pOWers and they
proved to be very evenly
matched.
Dave Della BUta opened the
scoring with a foul shot, giving
lkgls a momentary 1-0 lead.
But within the next couple ot
minutes the G-meR reelC!d off
eight points to only two for
'Regis and built an &3 lead.
Strong shooting by Della
Bltta and John Benedict enabled
Regis to tie the contest twice
and finally go ahead 17-15 on
Ron Hadfield's jumper. Their
etrorts were short-lived how­ever,
as Joe Fallacaro scored
four quick markers to put
Campion up by two. Della Bilta
came back with two free throws
to knot Ole contest at 19 all.
This was as close as Regis
would come for the rest of the
night as the Cmen, effectively
alternatlng their two leams,
put in their scoring quintet
of Scully, Palmer, Odium, Foley
and Garstka.
Bill Palmer's eight points led
the Campion attack w h t c h
found them holding on to a
slim 33-32 halftime lead.. Della
Bltta and Tom Wilkos paced
Regis with ten and eight each.
The second half found both
teams trading buckets until
early In the fourth quarter
when Pete Odlwn's crack out·
side shooting and the playmak­In&
of Palmer opened up a 49-43
bulge for the ernen.
Again both teams alternated
scoring with Ron HadfIeld and
Tom WUkos displaying some
pinpoint acuracy from the out·
side while Campion relied on the
scrappy play of Tom Henne­kens,
Mike GrUI'ln, Joe Falla·
