were primarily negative ones
and specifically designed to put
him on the defensive. This, without
any attempt on the part of
the student to establish in his
own mind a positive conception
of the true nature of pacifism.
Only at the subsequent discussion
was the philosophy an·

This behavior, plus the periodical
hissing and other ilTational
outbursts voiced at the lecture
convinced me al1 the more of
the failure of some students to
respond to or of some professors
to convey the spirit of openminded
inquiry. Perhaps it is the
failure of the Catholic University
to produce the proper atmosphere
for such inquiry.
Whichever, it remains that the

they be Christian, Marxist, or

To the Editor:
In the recent peace demoDstrations
in New York City various
people were reported throwing
eggs and debris at the
marchers. I do not question the
motives of these people, they
are clear and tenable. Neither
do I question their intelligence,
I think it is typical of the closedmindedness
·of uneducated persons
who, through 00 fault of
their own, have not been schooled
in a more rational manner of
expressing their ideas. I do, however,
question the behavior of
some Fairfield students (sic) at
the recent lecture by Mr. Tom
Cornell. One would expect that
at such a lecture the student
would wish to explore Mr. Cornell's
pacifism, and essentially
Christian position, with the candid
open-mindedness that a college
education is supposed to
produce. However, the questions

With the old cliche: "Now is
the time for all good men to
come to the aid of their party"
beginning to be heard throughout
the country in lieu of the
forthcoming elections, many of
the so-called "good men" refuse
to join the traditional ranks of
their party. Notable among
these are SelUl. J. William Fulbright
(D-Ark.) and Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.). leaders of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
With this visible yet unsightly
rift in the Democratic
Party (a much larger rift than
just these two men), Edward J.
Bell and a host of other reputable
political observers see a
great chance for House and Senate
gains for the Grand Old
party this November. The disgruntled
Southern Democrats
present a threat to party unity
and as the Vietnamese conflict
(to call it a "war" is supremely
naive) drags on and on and on
. . . most people are looking to
the G.O.P. for help in these unfortunate
matters. Even our old
friend Mr. Morse recently astounded
the nation when he remarked
that he "would rather
see Barry Goldwater in the
White House" as he is "more
reasonable to deal with" than
his fellow super-liberal, L. B.
Johnson. Well, for once (and
only for once) I agree with the
senior Senator from Oregon concerning
this intelligent observa·
tion and] believe that the Nov.
elections will prove to all that
the majority of Americans agree
with his remark also, much to
his chagrin and despair.
Enough said! With this soon
to be realized upsurge of the socalled
"Radical Right" our Republic
can look forward to a
bright future under responsible,
sensible, and fair government.

This table covers such items
as the generation of personal
values, creative development.
and intellectual stimulation!
Perhaps he will offer some loose
guesses about table 6 on Loyalty
and Pride. This table covers
such items as personal involvement,
interest in the University,
and participation in its activities.
Business Administration scored
the highest in this category and
was the only division to be rated
moderately positive! Does this
really square with Mr. Cunningham's
"speculations 1" Thus, we
have the cliche, "There are liars,
damned liars, and statisticians."
To this list we can now add
pseudo-intellectuals.
No one has made a better argument
for censorship that Mr.
Cunningham himself. In his own
column of March 16th he states,
"The exaggerated approach is
likely to be written off as iIlconceived
and bitter slur and so
no dialogue results ... For better
than two years now this column
has functioned under the
principle that the dialectic approach
is the quickest and most
effective way to cause rethought
and re-evaluation. Exaggerations
have been made because
their shock value was can·
sidered important:'
Mr. Cunningham's gross and
unwarranted "exaggerations" of
the Business department were
"ill-conceived." As well as his
"bitter slurs" upon Professor
Fitzpatrick, Dr. Pitt, Attorney
O'Brien, Mr. Barbano, Mr. Pinkman,
Mr. Kunsch and myself_
Unfortunately, no simple apology
can erase the seed of doubt
which he may have successfully
planted. I can cope with students
with a jaundiced eye, but
it is difficult to defend myself
from a student with a prejudiced
eye, who admittedly exaggerates
for "shock value."
The disgrace is that I am called
upon to defend myself at all.

Let Us Continue
To the Editor:
In replying to Mr. Cunningham's
STAG article of March
2nd, I attempted to show that
he was not competent to interpret
statistical data. In his
'March 24th letter to the editor,
he demonstrates that he is equally
incompetent 88 a logician.
It was precisely because
"words have meaning" that
prompted my initial reply. Mr.
Cunningham wrote in the March
2nd article, "'The implication is
clear, and it is a clear condemnation
of the Business department."
According to Webster,
condemnation means, "To adjudge
or pronounce to be unfit
for use or service." Naturally, I
look with displeasure on being
adjudged unfit for use or service.
And the entire Business faculty
stands condemned with me.
Not only that, but this condemnation
is "clear," which means,
according to Webster, "Free
from doubt; certain; sure or
free-from qualification i absolute;
entire." Thus, according to
Mr. Cunningham's words, there
is no doubt about the entire
Business faculty, they are unfit
for use or service. Of this, he is
absolutely sure. No qualifications.
However, in his March
24th letter to the editor he
stresses that these were "speculations,"
"loosely, a guess,"
"conjectures ... cannot be definitely
proved." Thus, it is his
"conjecture" or "guess," that
this is a "clear condemnation."
Never have I seen a more absurd
contradiction in terms. Understandable,
perhaps with a high
school journalist, but for a College
Philosophy major, trained
in IQfical reasoning, it is unforgivable.
lPerhaps Mr. Cunningham's
future conjectures will consider
the apparent contradiction in
table 16 on Academic Freedom.
Business Administration was
above the mean and ranked second
only to Liberal Arts. Yet,
Mr. Cunningham states that another
table indicates that we are
dogmatic! Perhaps he will spec-

I would like to devote this par·
ticular column to an appraisal
of a number of newly released
albums produced by popular
to semi-popular jazz artists.
1.) Da\'e Brubeck, My Favorite

as a follow-up to Brubeck's
very suceessful "Angel Eyes"
album, this is probably one of
the deadest, most commercial

Brubeck sounds positively morose,
Morello and Wright don't
swing. and Desmond moves at
the fury of a death knell. This
is an album for Ole die-hard
Brubeck fanatic oll1y.
2.) lIorace Sliver, The cape
Verdean Blues. A tine of!'ering
shows J. J. Johnson teaming up
with the Horace Silver Quintet.
The star of this album,
however, is Joe Henderson on
tenor sax. HendeI"SOn's unique

at times leaves something to
be desired - coupled with his
remarkable abiUti5 as a com·
poser, make him a valuable
asset to the quintet. J. J. John..

The new musical "U's a

Supennan" crash landed at the
Alv:ln Theater the other night,
leaving very few signs of life
around the wreckage. A quickie
attempt to cash in on the current
craze for comic book
heroes, "Superman" is unoriginal
and slipshod in treatment
throughout.
The musical is a most excit_
ing theatrical Conn because it
uses lotal theater, that is, all
the technical resources that
theater has at its command,
to bring olf its etrect. Few
people have tried to exploit the
potential of the musical form
for saying something profound,
however, musical comedy has
I)roduced some delightful fluffs
of frivolity, which is tine, for
after all theater does not have
to be weighty to be of value.
The Idea of building a musical
comedy around Superman
and his ever-loving girl-friend
Lois Lane Is no more ffighUy
than the basic plot ideas behind
a hundred other musicals.
The only drawback with Superman
is that he has no specific
Superman legend which goes
with his image and, consequently,
it was ne<:essary that the
creators of the show construct
a story around him from

universities are able to pay
their teaching staff higher aalarles.
In order to maintain our
staff, salaries must be raised.
Also with the increasing number
of students in the University
it Is necessary that more lay
teachers be hired. Their salary,
as that of the present sta1f,
must come from students' tui·
tlon. The present tuition rate
does not meet this need.

Chris Black sal motionless in the deepening twilight of a
pre-Spring evening, watching the sun desccnd. It had been a
bilter day, and there was something very final about this particular
sunset, something in the dark clouds on the horizon that
seemed to be forcing the sun from view. It was almost as if
they thought that if it were pushed down one more time it
would never ascend again.
Why twilight and darkness, he wondered. Why this constant
struggle against the light by those objects which owed
their very existence to the Ught? Why was someone always
trying to force the sun down?
The Stag, March 24, page 5; "Vin Walsh stated that he
said this for one reason; because in a Catholic University there
is conunitment, and commitment destroys the search for truth."
True or false; interpretation or misinterpetaUon, sunrise or
sunset? Black wondered. He had been there, sat attentively
through the various presentations, tried to obtain the truth.
Had he fallen asleep at the crucial moment, or was his mistake
that he had remained a"'ake? Being awake is always dangerous.
.-\ copy of The CoektaU Party 18)' on the desk. opened and
half read, Black glanced at the page. rereading the underlined
passage. "But let me tell }'ou, that to approech the stranger
is to invite the unexpected, release a new force, or let the
genie out of the botUe. It Is to start a train of events beyond
your control"
Was the stranger here, on this campus, in this ckeed and
secure environment? Had someone approached him, let him in,
given him the key that unlocked our innermost fears and fallures,
and was he now, at this very moment perhaps, pJayibg
with them, exposing and rearranging them at his pleasure'! Who
is the stranger in the house?
L'etrance.r; (Fr.) .~; outelderj aUea. An interesting
collection of meaning, each one more startling, more menacing
than the preceding onc; each one carrying with it the unImowD.
But where is the source of this unknown, this aboriginal terror?
Has it been carried here from some far off land, (Long Island
perhaps) or was it with us all the time, lying dormant beneath
the complacency of a secure generation?
Concerning little barbs; Black, now surrounded by the
pre-natal· darkness or the night. questioned the significance of
the cutting humor he had recently heard, and the violent
reaction to it. And he wondered if the barbs had missed their
mark so radicall)', why thc-y caused so much pain.
There had been much said in the preceding weeks about
negative criticism and the problem that always arose whether
or not it served a purpose. This was another pressing question:
again the question of sunrise or sunset; the tint steps of a new
spirit, or the death throes of an old, decrepit patient. It was so
hard to tell, so dillicult and painful to reach a decision that
contained any degree of certitude. Black wondered how so
many had been so quick to condemn when he himself could not
in honesty reach anything that approached a rationally valid
answer. The thought half..erossed his mind, but he dismissed It
rapidly, that perhaps those who condenmcd relled more on
emotions than on ratlontlt investigation.
What was it Emerson had said? "Perhaps too there might
be room for the exciters and monitol's: collectors of the heavenly
spark, with power to convey the electricity to others."
The Waste Land, T. S. EUot:
"April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
DuD roots with spring rain."

I'm sure there is little need to remind any loyal
Stag follower that this year's basketball team was the
greatest in Fairfield's history despite the fact that the
team was overlooked by the N.J.T. selection committee,
etc. However, I hope that the following few
bits of news will put somewhat of a damper on any
unpleasant memories.

A few weeks ago I mentioned the possibility of a
game in the Garden and although again still unofficial,
your best bet is that Fairfield will meet St. Bonaventure
on February J6th of next year in Madison
Square Garden.
\Vho knows. Perhaps the previously mentioned
events will be just the springboard we need to gain
all the recognition that so many people think we
deserve.
If you were fortunate enough to be watching
your television last Saturday night you saw the taped
game between the New England All-Stars and the
greater Boston-Worcester All-Stars played earlier in
the week. It was of special interest to Fairfield fans
because our own Mike Branch participated. Mighty
Mike, playing less than half the contest, nevertheless
provided the spark which carried the New England
club to a come from behind victory. Mike pumped in
23 points to walk off with scoring honors but was
nipped by Rhode Island's Steve Shubin for the MVP
award.
Another tribute to Mike's performance is reflected
by the fact that he ranked tenth in the nation
this past season in rebounding.
Once again loyal Stags showed their enthusiasm
last Sunday evening by turning out for the dinner
honoring the basketball team. The event formally
brought to a close the 1965-66 basketball season but
it should not by any means terminate student support
for athletics at Fairfield. There are spring sports such
as baseball, rugby, track. golf, and tennis which benefit
greatly from enthusiastic student support.
Those who turned out in the cold for the baseball
game against Providence. and in the rain for last
Saturday's rugby game demonstrated a sincere interest
which we hope will continue throughout the
remainder of the spring season.

SPORTS PERSONALITY
By Tom Hennekf'llli
Tom Peddicord is the hardnosed
co-captain of Fairfield's
consistent Rugby Club. He
plays the game "strictly for the
love of the sport" and together
with Otubby Jay KIrwin has
provided the "Big Red" with
leadership of a high quality.
Tom Is generally introVerted
but wvnistakenly confident regarding
the success of the club.
"Considering our siZe! and limited
experience we're definitely
one of the best. We've! more
than held our own against the
bigger clubs and have rolled it
up against teams our size." Last
week's 16-0 victory over an
equally small St. Joseph's club
seems to validate Tom's feelings.
''Peddicord comes to play"
accord1ng to co-captain K1rwtn.
"He I.s neither looking for glory
or herolC!ll - only for victory"
according to the freckled-faced
junior.
Tom would like a shot at
forcing anoUicr run before hc
retired the side.
The Stags rallied In the ninth,l ,,, iJ
but as in U1e Providence game, I'
fell short of tying the score.

half Jacked spectator pleasure
bceause the action was stunted
by many calls by the stringcnt
referee. Bright spots on
the B squad were the play of
Willy Budd, Bill Cosgriff and
Flush Connolly.
The second half saw a much
more fired up and alert Fairfield
team take the field. Both
forwards and backs became
very aggressive In pursuit of a
score. Several near scores came
as Fairfield kept St. Joe's almost
entirely on their defensive
half 01 the field. Both Rick
Fuller and Denny Nunan were
denied scores on account of
trivial errors.
Two painfuU injuries removed
stalwarts Flush Connolly and
Greg Polzer from the game
but the two man shortage only
served to intensify the Red's
desire for a score. However
they were frustrated by their
hasty aggressiveness and a ftnal
attempt by Tom Hennekens
went unrealized as he was
stopped short inches from the
goal line by a host of tacklers.
At the final whistle the game
was still netted at the 0-0 count.
The club is next slated to
travel to Philadelphia on April
