To the EdItor:
We read with incredulity your reporter's
account ot our discussion of Vietnam
which took place on November 9th In
the Campus Center. We found almost
every paragraph of that account to be
grossly distorted, inaccurate, with both
Charges Answered
Letters To The Editor
Distortion?
To the Editor;
I refer to the letter of Mr. James DiFronzo,
Executive Chainnan of the
Youth Interracial Council, in the Noyember
16th issue of the STAG. He demonstrated
how the reporter was unable
to give an accurate account of the Noyember
6th Interracial Workshop. This
was neeessary to correct any factual
mistakes and cannot be objected to. But
he then proceeded to insist that the
story was "depreciating," and that the
reporter's evaluation was "slanted."
Likewise, Mr. Gocking, who's letter appeared
in the same Issue, insinuated that
the reporter implied Mrs. Willis to be a
"violent radical."
After showmg the article to be inaccurate
from the start, why do these two
men sUU take the defensive and make
such accusations. No one has criticized
the Youth Interracial Council or its work
in the Civil Rights movement. Therefore,
it is unnecessary to be on the defensive.
Also, Mr. DiFronzo objected that the
STAG reporter should be surprised at
h)s optimism over the YIC. Maybe he
was surprised. Why do you impose your
views on everyone else! Everyone at
Fairfield may be "delighted" with the
Youth Interracial Council. But to assume
so is an imposition on those who would
like to judge it. and the Civil Rights
movement in general under "all" its
aspects.
If anyone willfully obstructed the
YIC he would be a narrow-minded and
prejudiced bigot. There is nothing morC'
appalling than that. But what do we
say of those who would have "everyone"
lock anns and sing "We ShalI Overcome?"
They are at best, imposing and
narrow-minded.
If you have a reason to be on the
defensive you should state it. If you
have a reason for imposing your views
on other people you should explain it.
Otherwise, everyone does have a "right"
to his views, and to be surprised whcm
he wants to.

The "fully informed" student
finds that reports of executive decisions
on bills passed by the
Legislature are conspicuously absent.
No reasons or even mention
of recent veboes of recent financial
allocations have been given,
nor any account of the proceedings
of Executive Board meetings.
Instead of an "indispensable
aid," Focua has given a slanted
coverage of issues written by committee
heads, complete with small
inside puns of no value but to
degrade the publication as an intelligent
communique. No mention
is made of issues that have
been abandoned or overruled by
the Administration.
Possibly the reason for Focua'
difficulties can be placed on the
lack of a dedicated leadership as
exemplified by the quick turn
over of editors in the first four
issues. Possibly the problem is the
lack of assistance given these
men.
But, unless it achieves the desired
standards described by Paul
O'Donnen in the initial editorial,
it should be discontinued as a
worthless expenditure of Government
finances.
This new low in campus conduct
is not restricted to the Saturday
night movies, as a walk
past Loyola or a few moments
spent at the Freshman intramural
games win confirm. While improvement
in personal conduct at
FairfieJd seems only to come with
the years, the underclassmen have
made any thought of mature behavior
at Fairfield a contradiction
in tenns.
While vulgarity in the long run
is the prerogative of the individual,
we ask that a discretion
presently lacking be exercised out
of respect for the other students
and guests on campus who are
not so inclined.
must be improved by the "something
more" it is the responsibility
of the various campus organizations
to come up with. The recent
success of the Glee Club's date
dance should encourage other
campus groups to come up with
social events that they and the
rest of the student body might
profit from. Equally deserving of
praise is the Student Government
Social Activities Committee; their
upcoming Christmas Dance is only
one example of the sort of planning
other organizations should
be doing.
This faU has seen a few too
many weekends with nothing "going
on." To avoid this in the
months ahead we urge the Student
Government to encourage
and coordinate social activities on
the part of the many campus
groups that are so far letting the
chance go by for financial profit
for themselves, and social enjoyment
for the student body in general.
Hopefut1y, as greater advantage
is taken of the Campus Center,
students will begin thinking
of bringing guests here on week.
ends, rather than fleeing to other
schools or home.
Tell Him
However
In answer to a platfonn promise
by Kevin McGovern, the
Student Government newsletter
Focua was initiated with high
hopes and ideals as "an indispensable
aid for the student who
wants to know what the Student
Government is or it not doing
for him."
FocUi was designed as "that
media by which students will be
able to know exactly what programs
are being carried out by
the Executive, Legislative, and
Judicial branches of the government
by reporting the results of
court hearings, meetings of the
Legislature, reports of committee
heads, and by announcing upcoming
social and cultural events."
The original editors, Paul
O'Donnell and Stephen Judd, realized
that "it is necessary for
the government to communicate
effectively with the student
body," and to keep all students
"fully informed."
But in reality, Focua has not
fulfilled this goal. After a fine
start, the newsletter has degenerated
into biased public relations
sheet, interspersed with advertising
and extra-governmental news.
Before any real improvement
can be made in campus social life,
a certain amount of sophistication
on the personal level is going
to have to be achieved. The movies
provided on weekends, for
example, have become all but impossible
to enjoy, and bringing a
guest to them is now inconceivable.
Thts is especially unfortunate
at a time when the work of
the Film Society has raised the
caliber of campus movies greatly.
However, the audiences on Saturday
nights have taken to upstaging
the screen presentation
with vulgarities, screams, and remarks
that make a performance
all but unwatchable.

~-.----------------- V Social Problem
The perennial problem of campus
social life assumes new di~
mensious this year with the om·
cial opening of the long awaited
Campus Center.
While presenting a much wider
range of opportunities for improving
the often sedentary social atmosphere
on campus, in the Cam·
pus Center lies the chance, at
last, to bring an end to the "week·
end exodus" so characteristic of
OU1' four years at Fairfield.
However, it is obvioua from the
start that full advantage of the
Campus Center is not being taken;
the more imaginatively planned
social events now possible are not
forthcoming. The building is well
adapted to mixers, and with new
regulations, much of the "back
gym" clientele is tinally being
weeded out. While some may balk
at this, it should be noted that the
onslaught of swarms of "townies"
has been the reason for many a
college girl attending but one
Fairfield mixer, and not returning
a second time.
But regardless of how enjoy·
able mixers become, they can
n~vcr of themselves provide a full
social calendar. What is lacking

TIle current rage of college

Bach. It is unfortunate that
Bach's music has gone over to
the other side, that is, to such
a minority, for his works include
some of the greatest
music: ever written and can be
appreciated by nearly anyone.
The reason why the "Bach
guild" as it may be called, is
limited to the so-called intelegencia.
may be attributed to
the fact that Bach's complex
pol)'Phonic techniques sometimes
produce a different type
of music to listen to. It may
be deduced that whal Is often
esoteric or complex appeals
chiefly to the campus pseudointellectuals.
This need nol be
the case.
Too often survey courses in
music give a brier synopsis of
tyPeS of music and fail to get
Y1e st~dent or. individu41 to
really appreciate good muSic.
The priDle objective should be
to get theSe people to really
listen and enjoy good music.

Bach is a good place to start

It is hence very
rich and adorned but this does
not detract from it In the least
for It is Bach's genius combined
with the pompus elegance of the
Baroque which gi\'es It such
breath and tincture. His works
replete with colorful passages

melodies reflecting an age of

to create some magnificent liturgical

By lohn I. Mullen
Our college years perhaps find their most Important valuc in
the oppoMunitles they afford us for insights Into ourselves. Life
in the academic conununity provides us with the necessary but
still frightening opportunity to discover and identify our own Individuality.
In short, each individual is granted the opportunity
to know himseJ£. However, we will never be able to know our
real selves if we do not find oursel\"es SPIRITUALLY. In this
limited context, I define the word ~1r1tua1 as the relationship that
an individual chooses to enter into with God.
In college, we are more aWllN! of our responsibility to discover
our own individual response to God. The weight of this responsibility
is the overwhelming spiritual challenge and problem in
our college career. The response we make to God's love for us
can be found in one of t ....,o Wa)'s. The firSt is the response not to
return God's lo\"e. The second is the response to answer God's
love with our own. Which onc to make and in what way we will
manifest our love for God is the decision that only the individual
can make.
It is a simple (act that people are filled with (car and because
they have known a certain fear for such a long time they become
experts at living with it. It seems to me, that this is the spiritual
state that many college students find themselves in.
This spiritual fear that I speak of is the fear' that was instilled
in us in our childhood religious training. It is the lear that
results lrom a negative catechetical approach to religious inslnlclion;
the (ear that results from oventreulng the ci>~pfs of
mortal "Sin,' punIshment, damnation and Hell. 'Ibis is the .feat that
prompted our automatic, habitual respoDll to God .t i'-time when
it was impossible to grasp any concept of a Supreme Being. Unfortunately,
it is sWi this reJ1P:lUs fur with whk:b we ccme to
college. It is a lear that we must overcome in order to enter into
a true, rewarding relationship with God.
What will be most valuable for us in our attempt to establish
this relationship! What wlll be an aid to us in our attempt to
overcome this negative catechetlcal lear whleh has been and still
is the prime motive of our present spiritual response? I believe
this aid is individual courage. Each individual In his own way
must truthfully examine and evaluate his present response. As
college students, we know that this demands courage. Each one
of us must discover our own spIritual problems, admit them to
ourselves, and open ourselves to those who are not only competent
but willing to aid us in our decision. This is what courage is all
about.
Charles Dickens wrole, "Men love their chains." Fear is the
chain that binds us to our habitual spiritual responses. It is easier
to respond out of fear than out of love. Love is demanding. How
many of US are courageous enough not only to repeat but to be
sincere in this foUowing prayer (, I.

And if I worship Thee in hope ol Paradise, exclude me

Notice, I don't say that inte11ectuaUsm doesn't exist. I say that a

It is true that this "creative intellectualism" would introduce
great risk iJ:l,to the student's education. But, ooocemlng tills riIk,
our educators must decide whether they genuinely value the intellect

or some who are weak in faith and the temporary falling away
of others who do not, at lirst encounter, meet every crisis ot
growth successfully,
And it is true that a "creative intellectualism" will contradict
an attitude expreued in RJcbt .... Be.1OII, a text used in one of
our EthIcs courses, concernlng the "teaeber's realtion to his
pupils": "Every wUvenity professor is dealing with immature
minds . . . He must always oonsider what e!l'ect his convictions
shall have on the minds 01 fonning and dl!'veloplng youth." 'Ibis
attitude is unfortunately present in our unlveraJty and, I'm sure,
in most unlven1tles. Yet, this attitude must be revened. It must
be changed In Ught of a "creative iDtellectuaUam." I feel that most
of us - If given the proper opportunity - would appreciate the
value of the search for inteUeetual .d.vmIUre. 1 believe that,
within a proper setup, centering around the use of the seminar
system, rntllIt of us would develop - would create ourselves - toward
a balanced judgment based upon an intellectual maturity:
rather than, tbe deadening atmosphere to which we are now
expooed.
1 am truly in search of the proper college education which
shall give us the results of a "creative intellectualism," or, at

children It. For Its results, based upon the balanced judgment
which It shall form, Is not only the basis for the growth of our
soclety: It Is the necessary factor In the &oUdarity ot our spiritual
lives.
I don't demand that our university immediately change to a
form based on the seminar system. What I ask Is that our educators,
considering us mature and rational, and not the immature
and gullible students pictured in RlPt uuI ae-ta, begin to initiate
a system which they consider most eft'ective for a "creative
intellectualism," for the development or us, their students. Then,
if asked whether intellectualism exists on our campus, I would
