we alone in "irresponsible" criticism

Dear Sir:
Glad to see that we, the "phantom"
editors of Wbeaenr P088lbl4'. could be
of so much help in providing you some
copy for last week's issue. It has
always been our belief that The Stag,
Fairfield's second campus newspaper,
has contributed much In the way of
profound surface examination of prob­lems,
incisively brilliant editorial anal­ysis,
and genuinely balanced reporting.
Your reporter, Mr. Kister, has also
earned our enduring respect and grati·
tude for his dispasslanate and erudite
commentary. Ordinarily we only read
the Letters to the Editor in The Stag,
but if last week's issue means any­thing
(?) we may well have to do
more.
Now that you have set us straight
on the March 23 holiday. might we
suggest that you check )'our sources
again'? You might also check last
year's calendar If you were wondering
just what a "social weekend" Is. But
then maybe this "state law" only ap­plies
in alternate years. In any case,
though, just relax and think a bit ­and
by the way, let us know what it's
like to own a hook, line. and sinker.
You must have quite a collection by
now.
Your unsigned editorial also com­plained
of articles which were merely
Initialed. Evldentally we have more
confidence In our readers than you do,
for we feel that 3 initials are easily
traceable in a 350 man Class roster
We are disappointed that you are not
aware that we are following the em­inent
precedents of Tbe London
TImes, ftc Loadon EooaornI8t, etc..
etc., In featUring unsigned articles.
But, of course, 3"ou may not have had
any contact with well·written publi­cations.
At hny ratc, we are not op­posed
to compromise: our next Issue
will feature an appropriate masthead.
Both you and Mr. Kister also seem
To the Editor:
I feel that the leadership of the
Sophomore Class has been unjustly
and Irresponsibly misrepresented by
Mr. Steve Judd and Mr. Ralph Kister,
both of whom attcrnpted to analyze
the Forum on catholic Education
which was sponsored by the Sopho­more
Class March ]5. These two
wrtters presumed to explain the Class'
actions, and motives for these actions,
when their only qualifications seemed
to be arrogant, prejudicial, and mis­informed
bias. Neither Judd nor
Kister approached anyone connected
with the Forum to infonn themselves
of the facts or motives of the Class'
sponsorship of this event, and neither
gave an accurate, or fair assessment
of the value of the colloquium.
Both Judd and Kister insinuated
that the Class' reasons for Inviting
Drs. Lauer and McBrien was to
launch an attack on Catholic Univer­sities.
Such an assumption is not only
very stupid, but Insulting to all con­cerned
as well. If that had been the
Class' aim there would surely not. have
been the concentrated etlort to Invite
Fairfteld Faculty members who would
be capable of balaDelDr the panel and
oPfHlllln« Lauer's and McBrien's views.
The intentions of the Sophomore
Class were sincere in arranging an
opportunity for discussion of a vital
topic. Many pains were taken to pro­vide
the fonnat and topic for a stim­ulating
and informed dialogue, and to
a large extent this dialogue came
about.
] am very sorry that both Judd and
Kister proved Incapable of entering
into this dJaJogue.
Sincerely
LouIs PedcUcord

students should make a com­mitment
to the quest for truth.
Fairfield should be opened up to
be an arena for all rationally
presented views whether they be
sympathetic or diametrical1y op­posed
to our religious commit­ment.
There should be no more
hesitance about bringing an
avowed Marxist to speak on
campus in an open forum than
there would be concerning a
pious nun.
We feel further that Fair­field's
challenge to be a univer­sity
must be initiated by the
student body, for, 88 the adage
goes, the students get the college
they deserve. We see beginnings
of such initiative in the forum on
Catholic education sponsored by
the Sophomore Class and in their
efforts to bring the pacifist Tom
Cornell on campus. We urge the
other Classes and organizations
to join in this task of creating
Fairfield University.
Sincerely,
VIII"'.... "6B
slon was that a group committed to
an a priori notion of truth, a set and
settled system oC thought, would _
if they closed their students to other
outlooks on the world - neeessarily
destroy the 8e8rch for troth. The in­quiry
alter troth must be a Cree one
- this has been explicitly stated by
Vatican n. If a group ruling a universi­ty
denies the freedom that must go
with intellectual inquiry they deny at
the same time the very essence ot
the concept of a true university.
Mr_ Kister seems to be unaware of
the fact that just such a denial of
academic f~ was the case at
Sl John's University and has been,
and still is, the case at other Catholic
universities In this country. I do not
feel we have the problem here at Fair­field,
but the fact that It exists, and
that we are Catholic students in a
Catholic educational institution. makes
this issue vitally important to us.
None of us believes in "the im­possibility
or Catholic education." I
am not against the idea ot a Catholic
University. We just do not happen to
believe that teaching according to a
"commitments to the principles of
the Catholic faith and to c:hristianity"
is incompatible with the idea of aca­demic
freedom.
In closing, 1 would suggest that Mr.
Kister re-examine his anaIysis of the
intents and purposes of the "leaders
of the Sophomore Class. Perhaps if
he were a bit more objective he would
realize that they are constroctlve In
their own right. 1bey are not satisfted
with the establishment, they want to
see It improve, and they have definite
Ideas on how it can be done. I believe
one should be thankful that such "reb­els"
care enough to make themselves
heard.
During previous weeks the
very possibility of Catholic edu­cation
has been questioned. We
emphatically deny that the con­cept
of a Catholic university is
a contradiction in tenns and we
strongly affinn that commit­ment
in no way destroys the
search for truth.
We do feel, however, that on
a practical level the idea of a
Catholic university is not always
realized. Since it is often diffi­cult
to treat college youths like
men when many of them act like
boys, the administration can
tend to resort to mildly patern­alistic
tactics. Furtheremore, any
college needs favorable publici­ty,
and sometimes a guest speak­er
chosen for his reputable name
will contribute little to the in­tellectual
life of a university.
Not only the administration
but the students also have a duty
to challenge Fairfield to be
genuinely a university. More

To the Editors:
Ralph Kister's remarks in the Stag
Mar. 24, '66) on the panel on Catholic
education were, I felt, narrow in vie.....­point,
and failed to give a troe picture
of the actual tone and development of
the dJscusslon. His observations on
"the excellent handling that Father
Coughlin gave to Or. Lauer" were
purely subjective - It seemed to me
that Dr. Lauer presented her case
clearly, concisely, and with sound, if
adamant, conviction. She certainly was
not put down In the discussion that
took place.
Mr. Kister's attempt at paraphrasing
my own remarks at the discussion
were a fallure-In fact, I did not say
that "the Catholic University was 0p­posed
to the concept of a troe universi­ty",
nor did I say that "in a Catholic
University there is commitment, and
commitment destroys the search for
tn.Ith", What I did say in the dJscus-

Dr. Gordon 01 Rcnzo, Ass0­ciate

conducted in Indiana while
Professor 01 Rero:o was serving
as a research assistant at Notre
Dame University in 1960. Dr.
Oi Renzo was awarded a granl
by the Ford Foundation to un­dertake
this research report
which was done under the aus­pices
of the Governor's Council
on Olildren and Youth.
This social-psychological work
was mainly concerned with pub-­lie
opinion as it relates the
trends in juvenUe delinquency.
In particular the work focused
upon the alleged reasons behind
the trends in juvenile delin­quency
and upon an assessment
of the observed dynamics of
some of the particular factors
that contribute to the problem.

"Hill Horse, Half Alligator"
presents a most imaginative
look at an American historical
period that apparently abounded
in humor. Much credit is due
to Mr. Mooney for his coUecting
and his excellent presentation
of the material.
"Half Horse, Half Alligator"
recenUy completed a successful
tour of many midwestern uni­versities
and coUeges, and has
received some good revIews as
well as here in the East. The
play premiered a year and a
hall ago in Vienna, Austria, as
more or less an emergency at­traction
when the play Mr.
Mooney was appearing in there
was forced to close suddenly.
Although only twenty - nine
years old, Mr. Moone)' has had
a good deal of professional ex­perience.
He has performed in
Europe and the Far East as
well as in numerous produc­tions
all over the United States.
Mr. Mooney spent several
years in collecting and assembl­Ing

importantly in an ~ntJaI way.

It is that in the name of Intel­lect,
he allowed his own emo­tional

"Consciencc", "peace of Christ," and "sacredness of human

UN sympathizers. The nation must be prepared; It must have a

his works. This thematic Incon­'

Brecht's basic flaw as a drama­tist,
his anti-theatre techrnque,
which, if implemented in its
pure state, is simply bad the­atre.
In anti-theatre, Brecht

his audience from his characters

The ruggcr is quite proud of
the club's quick rise to fame.
According to "Crow" the "Big

in the future upon its already
well-respected reputation.
In summing up what it takes
to be a success in l'ugby, Mc­Dermott
stated with an eye to­ward
intlucncing the participa­tion
of more talent in the sport:
"All you have to do is become
adept and knowledgeable at
your position, this coupled with
a great desire to win as a team
will offset the brute size of any
opposition. It is joyous to ob­serve
the almost invariably
greater size of the enemy be­fore
the game, and then come
out a winning team."
Ray is a government major
who hopes to attend graduate
school at Long Beach State
University in california. When
asked about his marks Ray
coolly asserled "I stay out ot

of the most lively personalities

circles. He's not ashamed of his
outward beliefs: "You've got to

competitor," McDermott states
proudly.
"The Crow" hails from Un­casville,
Connecticut, where it
is rumored that strC(!ts have

captain of his high school cross
country team and also starred
in track. "They're still buzzing

a near disaster when

The B contest pitted a huge

with wide open play as both
teams seemed willing to chance
everything for a possible score.
~ Cross scored first on a
fine run fTOOl mid-field The
kick was converted. giving them
a 5-0 lead. Holy Cross scored
again on a nicely executed fly­kick
which was picked up by
the lIanking wing who scamp­ered
in for the score.
In the second half Fairfield
was the victim of constant pres­sure.
They were continually
bogged down near the defending
goal but made few mistakes
and amazingly withheld a score
from Holy Cross throughout the

an exciting note as Doug Clacei
handied a Holy Cross kick and
swept through much of the op­position
only to be downed short

admire the Fairfield team for
their constant pressure on Holy
