It has been lhe observation of most

that this situation is inadequate, to
varying degrees, to meet the demands

on making the field of SocioIosY his

We believe it is our right, as responsible

Student Concern
Sincerel)',
Paul T. Samet>
To the EdItor:
It is the purpose of this open letter
to express our thoughts on the present
situation in the department of Sociology.
We are not concened with the
personal fault for the present situation.
In recent weeks, in an attempt to
choose courses in our major field. we
have discovered. serious Inadequacies
in the department. It has been found
that certain areas stressed In lhe
Graduate Record Examinations arc nol
offered to students at Fairfield. It has
been further dl.scovered that with the
recent increase In the number of studenls
majoring in Sociology. lhe PIOCSent
size of the department faculty is
inadequate. A third inadequacy con·
cerns the coordination of courses and
coordination of the department as a
whole. We feel this Inadequacy is due
to the lack of a Sociology facultY
member chairing the depanment. A1;
it stands now the department chairman
that he must help Fairfield to
recognize every deficiency it
may have in courses, departments.
etc. which may inhibit
or handicap its graduates ill
their futuTe. It means that the
graduate must relate to Fairfield
in such a way that whatever
affects him affects Fairfield and
whatever affects Fairfield affects
him.
Fairfield's graduating seniors
may be bitter; they may be
floundering; they may feel ill
prepared or perhaps e\"en unprepared!
It is not our intention
to locate the source of these feelings
nor to place blame for
them.
Regardless of how the graduate
views himself and his relationship
with that institution
"set among the rolling hills of
Connecticut", he must (01'
should be able to) acknowlcdgc
that some type of "change" has
occured to both parties involved
in this relationship. Each is
different from what they were
four years ago, or even two
years ago. They both have experienced
physical change. They
both have expeJienced a change
in responsibility due, in part,
to regulation changes. They
have (h'lpefully) experienced
some touch of intellectual and/
N' spiritual change. The change
eannot be denied, and. perhaps,
it cannot be measured. However,
its existence is firmly established
through ret.rospection.
We ask of the graduating senior
the payment of only one debt
We ask his "SYM,PATHY".
Sympathy for what Fairfield is
trying to become. Sympathy for
what she has become during his
stay here. And, finally, sympathy
for what he, in his newfound
expeliences, will be able
to make her.
Perhaps we could ask this of
all our students!?

At this time of year, when we
are all preparing to depart for
the summer, and when some of
WI aPe about to embark upon
careers, many of these questi;0ns
can be heard among the seniors
around campus. In essence these
remarks can ultimately be reduced
to two questions: What
has Fairfield done for its students
during four years? and
What does the graduating senior
owe to Fairfield University?
What. Fairfield has done for
its seniors is fundamentally this:
Jt has probably provided ~hem
with a number of firm fnendships,
possibly provided t~em
with jobs, and perhap~ provt~ed
them with an education which
will suffice. Consequently what
the graduating senior oo,yes to
Fairfield is NOT necessanly the
pledge for the class gift, NOR
the payment of his alumni dues.
NOR the faithful undertaking
of public relations work in lh?se
silent spaces at the evemng
cocktail party. Rather the graduating
senior owes to Fairfield
but one thing and that is "SYMPATHY"
This means that the
graduate' owes to F~irfield .8

education (whatever it may
ha\"e been for him)! 1t means

The underprivileged members

of Fairfield University students
who have gone beyond "just

their services "to do

Working with those from
poor eeonomic or scholastic

Double·Edl:"ed Sword
The projects, which benefit
both the University students
and those they are helping, have
grown in number and size in
recent years.
The Fairfield University Col·
lege Student Tutoring program,
initiated by four University students
in 1962, is now the largest
of the student groups, number·
ing 55 from the University and
40 (!'Om Fairfield Prep.
Under the direction of :Mr.
Ronald J. Bianchi. assistant
dean of resident students, the
tutoring program creates a
close, personal relationship between
the tutors and the youngsters,
who are elementary and
secondary school pupils from
the cultural~' deprived areas of
Bridgeport.
The youths, who benefit academically
and psychologically
from this relationship, regard
the tutors as examples of what
can be achieved through persistent>
conscientious work and.
at the same time, are helped
with their subject matter. 'The
pupils also become acquainted,
to some de~e, with college
"which, to them, is a word without
meaning," said Mr. BianchI.

One area in bolstering the
weekend agenda which has just
recently been formulaled is the
staging of lectures on Saturday.
This idea could be broadened to
include Bcllarmine, departmental
(which has been weak except
for the Sociology Dcpartmentl,
and aclual student lectures. By
having our own students from
various fields give papers and
debate, we would be helping to
foster a definite intellectual
spirit, 1 would like to olTer Mr.
McGovern's new government a
direct challenge in this regard.
One thing which man)' students
do miss is the Adult Education
film course which was
presented two years ago. This
was held on Friday nights.
These films were coupled with
some extremely articulate! discussions,

inspiration and direction on the

useful instrument in both off·

There has been no single reason for the team's
success. C<. Rch Cook, in his initial season at the Stag
helm, took a talented group of newcomers, combined
them with seasoned veterans and sprinkled with some
spirited hustle. The end product is a solid team with
good depth and a bright future,
The rugby club, always a source of plide to Stag
"ooters, has worked especially hard and played outstanding
ball this spring. One of their finest efforts
was a deadlocked game with the powerhouse team
from Holy Cross in a real game of guts.
The rUKgers suffered one loss this spring competing
against teams which, for the most palt, were bigger
and more experienced. In a recent "seven-a-side"
tournament, the ruggers beat M.LT. before being
eliminated by a championship club from Brown.
On the COUlts, the tennis team has wielded big
rackets all season long and despite a lone defeat to
an overwhelming Slanehill squad, threatens to be the
best in the school's history. This year's team is comprised
entirely of underclassmen and is constantly improving.
Out on the links the golf team has continued the
winuing tradition, overpoweling one opponent after
another, and reversing its only loss to New Haven
College. Again the ingredients for success have been
a blend of tough \'eterans llnd talented newcomers,
The weak point this spring has been the track
team, which has suffered badly due to lack of manpower_

I The most pleasant surprise this year has to be
the sudden improvement of the baseball team. Last
I week coach Don Cook's charges followed up a stun·
'I ning upset of Southern Connecticut (best team in the
State), with another brilliant win over a previously
victorious Bridgeport club. The win not only assured Ifans of the team's worth but evened its record at &-6,
the first time a Stag baseball team has played .500
ball in recent years.
