To the faculty and students of Fairfield I extend
prayerful best wishes for a joyous Christmas.
In these days of great turmoil and activity it
is reassuring to consider once again the quiet entrance
of the Son of God into human life through

Retraction?

To the Editor;
Last week when I turned on my radi')
at 8:20 expecting to hear the Fairfield
University-Niagara basketball game on
WNAB, I supposed Jt to be a joint
broadcast between WNAB and WATR,
I presumed to hear the voke of AI
Vestro at the mike. To my amazement,
I heard another announcer, who was no
comparison.
The final straw that broke the Stags'
back was at the three-minute mark when
THIS announcer referred to us as Fairfield
PREP, not once but TWICE.
I hope that by the time or the next
away game, the sponsors, United ]JIumlnating
and National Bakers, can give
all the people of the Fairfield and Bridgeport
area an announcer who can give
hll listenen; a true and vivid account of
Fairfield University's basketball team,
Hopefully,

Please Comeback
To the Editor:
TIulnk you ror printing the official
retraction of error in your issue of Dec.
7, i.e., that our failure to comply with
a budget request occasioned the suppression
of New Frontiers.
However, the appended allegation: "A
financial statement of 1~1966 was requested,"
Is in error of fact.
Though prepared to do so, I was not
at any time requested to make a fUnancial
statement.
It is regrettable that such a series of
errors may ultimately tend to destroy
the credibility of our assailants.
Sincerely,

Freedom?
Coupled with the subsequent
and totally irresponsible attack
on the campus radio station, we
can only hope that the New Year
sees a more enlightened attitude
on the part of the University's
disciplinary authority.
to uphold such superior standards.
However, the Drama Society
suffered a discouraging insult at
the hands of the rr.ajority of the
student body and faculty who refused
to support their efforts. The
Thursday performance had to be
cancelled because of very meagre
ticket sales.
If such high quality of entertainment
is to be maintained on
campus it needs the support of
both the entire student body and
the faculty. Any complaints of a
lack of cultural events on campus
has a rather hollow ring, if, as it
seems, the university won't even
bother attending.
was also brought to light. When
campus radio station WVOF, unaware
that the ral1y had been
cancelled, continued to announce
it in hourly bulletins, the announcer
was threatened with dismissal
from the station.
But ...
In the final analysis there is no
question that the unauthorized
student rally on Tuesday was l\
justified one. The scheduled rally
had prior approval from all officially
responsible, and there was
no valid reason for cancelling it.
If the rally had been called off
because of the use of fireworks
during Monday night's snowfall,
it would merely have been the
case of punishing the many for
the wanton acts of a few. But that.
the administrative action was
grounded in contradictions as obvious
as "protecting stu den t
rights" leaves this particular ex·
ample of disciplinary action at
Fairfield both poorly motivated
and excessively harsh.
The result was a spontaneous
basketbaJl rally. Occurring Tuesday
night, it was as exemplary
of good conduct as it was unauthorized.
It was an incident that
saw many students barred by prefects
from leaving the dorms to
cheer for their basketball team.
Yet a large number turned out;
and the rally concluded with
everyone wondering how severely
the administration would react.
Bravo,
The ability of the student to
participate in or enjoy the arts
on this campus should no longer
be questioned after the Glee Club
concert of Jast Sunday or the
Drama Society's production of
"Incident at Vichy." Both these
perfonnances rivaled most professional
endeavors, and were certainly
a credit to the campus.
The excellence achieved on
stage for both the concert and the
play were indicative of a high
degree of talent and Jong hours
of preparation, plus the advantage
of both groups to work with
extremely competent directors.
We wish to congratulate both
groups and urge them to continue
Equally out of place were the
ramifications of Monday nighes
gathering. As a result of it, the
scheduled and approved rally to
spirit the basketball team off to
its first home game was abruptly
cancelled on the vague and ironic
note of "protecting individual
rights."
Underscoring this punitive and
irresponsible use of authority W83
the perennial problem of lack of
communication. The scheduled
rally was to take place at 9 :00
on Tuesday night; yet not until
4 :00 that very afternoon was the
rally ofIiciaJly cancelled, and
then by a mere phone call when
a public explanation should have
been given.
The topic of censorship of campus
channels of communication
In many ways it W88 a sad commentary
on life at Fairfield.
What would have been dismissed
as a harmless and well intentioned
display of collegiate spirit
on any other campus W88 misconstrued
as an illicit assertion of
the student right to assemble at
any time. The Jack of trust in the
student body 88 well 88 the misunderstanding
of student motives
that this attitude bespeaks are
unfortunate enough in themselves.
Last Monday night's impromptu
gathering to celebrate the season's
first snowfall, the cancelling

and the unauthorized rally that

Q, What actuaUy did happed with the radio station,
Father?
A. Someone told me that WVOF was announcing that
there was a rally at 9:30. I was disturbed by this and
thought that It was an act of defiance because the rally
had been called off. 1 found out later that the cancellation
had not been communicated to the announcer.
Q. Then you did not threaten to abolish WVOF?
A. No I did not. Any sanction spoken of was directed
toward the individuals whom I thought were being defiant.
Later Tuesday night when an official of WVOF called and
explained that the announcer did not know that the rally
had been cancelled. I gave him my apologies.
Q. When did you first realize that there was any discontent?
A. At 9:30 p.m. when I saw the flare and the assembled
group.
Q. What was the process used to cancel the rally?
A, Around 2:30 Tuesday afternoon I called the Director
of Student Services and requested that the rally be cancelled.
Mr. Griffin told me that he would inform Jack Kelly who
in turn would communicate it to the students.
Q. Did any representatives from the student body see
you on Tuesday afternoon or evening?
A. Around 4:00 p.m. the President of the Student Gov·
ernment called but our discussion dealt mostly with what
had occurred on Monday night at 11:30. I met with two of
the cheerleaders and we discussed the cancellation. We also
discussed the possibility of a rally on Wednesday to see the
team off. They also had agreed that a rally on Tuesday
night would probably have been anticlimactic after Monday
night. They hadn't pushed the point that there was any
serious student unrest.
Q. Father, would you like to make any further com·
ments?
A. One thing that should be clarified is that this was
an isolated atfair that has nothing to do with future organized
rallies. I am very much in favor of organized rallies
to show our support of the basketball team.
cision'! Ideally, the Administration works with the student
body who are rational beings and who should be treated as
such. In practice, reasons for the cancellation were not made
readily available. In this situation, specUlations were made
and were used as knowledge. Only at 11:00 p.m. Tuesday .
night were reasons offered and communicated at least to a .
small group of students by Fr. Gallarelll.
Working on the assumption that the students at Fair.
fleld University are rational beings, it would seem that they
should have ready access to the reasons for a decision or
action by the Administration. Why did Fr. Gallarelli wait
until 11:00 p.m. before he gave any reasons at all for the
cancellation'! This is not an army base, nor are the students
high school students, and it was wrong not treating them as
mature people. The students did demand, and should COli'
tinue to demand, that they be treated as mature, rational
human beings. Will the Administration accept the challenge
of a thinking Catholic community?
In conclusion, there was chaos simply because lines of
communication were ignored. There was chaos because the
statements of reasons at 11:00 p.m. were so late that they
were ineffective. The Administration can readily see that
communications are a powerful force. Yet, it is equally
evident that dictatorial decisions are not possible in a think_
ing community.
Breakdown in communication results in confusion. Authoritarianism
results in insubordination. Let us use the
means of communication. but temper statements and decisions
with rational rf!a...ons.

Q. Father, before we start do you have any general
comments on what happened?
A. I think the whole affair snowballed out of proportion
beeause of lack of communication. Some of the students who
were involved didn't realize they were involved in any kind
of protest because they didn't know the rally had been called
off. For my part, since there had been no communication
from the students, I didn't realize anyone objected until
9:30 p.m.
Q. Is it true that at 9:30 you singled out two student!>
and threatened them because they were leading a ralIy?
A. At 9:30 I became aware that a group had assembled
in front of Regis when I saw a flare go off. I thought they
were assembling for a rally. I approached the group and
singled out two cheerleaders and told them "you started
this - you end it. I'm holding you responsible."
Q. What do you think of Monday night's rally!
A, I was displeased with Monday night's rally because
it disturbed the community, was not approved and could
havc had further unforeseen consequenccs. I was especially
displeascd with the firecrackers that were exploded in th~
lavatory on the infirmary corridor.
Q. Why was Tuesday's rally called oJ! e".en though it
was organized r
A. As a sanction imposed for Monday's rally.
Q. Did you know that anyone was discontent with
this decision '!
A, No I did not, at least not until after 9:30 p.m. on
Tuesday night.
Q. Apparently one of the reasons for this discontent wa~
a feeling that you had over-stepped your bounds. Many students
resented the fact that you presumed the right to call
off the rally. Do you have any feelings on this'!
A. I didn't feci that It was overstepping my bounds. I
felt that some sanction was necessary to make the students
aware that Monday night·s disturbance could not be approved
or condoned and since the disturbance had taken
the form of a rally I thought the sanction imposed should
be or the same nature.
The situation of last Tuesday was caused by two fac·
tors: the Administration's disregard of the established means
or communication and the Administration's disregard of
students as rational human beings.
There exists on 'CRlDpUs various means of commuruCl1.·
tiOll. Bulletin ,boards are in all dorms and in the Campus
Center. There is a campus radio station, and there is the
immediate contact between the lay prefect and the students
on his corridor. How many of these were used to notify the
students or the cancelled rally and the reasons for cancellation?
Common knowledge was that the bulletin 'boards werc
ignored by the Administration. The radio station, rather
than being used, was threatened. All prefects seemed to be
in a state of uncertainty. What filled this void? Rumors and
speculations!
There was absolutely no rapport between the student
body and the representatives of the Administration. As a
result, rumors were being spread among the students. It was
rumored that sanctions would be imposed on those responsible
for any rally. It was rumored that a Student Government
function would be hindered by the "power of the
purse." But above all, it was rumored that there would be
no rally.
The confirmation of rumors came when the first small

Epistle To The Collegians
STUDENT OPINION POLL
The greatest of all relationships that a human being can enter
into is the love relationship. All human beings enter into some
love relationship, to some degree, whether it be with a friend,
wife or perhaps more importantly with God.
The very fact, however, that these relationships are entered
into on a human level, acc.'ounts for their imperfection. Human
nature, being what it is, prohibits a perfect love relationship;
therefore, man wiU inevitably violate the Ilromises and vows of
these relationships. If it is a true love relationship, however, the
violator will always and inescapably be moved by guilt for his
transgression. This transgression creates in man a great human
need. The need is one of alleviating the gUilt so that he can once
again enter into the love relationship confidently and innocently.
This need accounts for the necessity of repentance. It would take
a very foolish man to declare that he had never violated someone
else's trust or disappointed, in some way. the members with whom
he had entered into a love relationship. In short, every human
being has been aware of the feeling of guilt and experienced the
need for repentance. Jt would not be a foolish man, however, but
a very honest one to admit that he has not always fully rcpented
and always apologizcd to the members whom he loves in his relationships
for his own transgressions.
These statements have only been a very brief and general
sketch of the psychology involved in the love relationship. I wish
to become more specific now and deal with the Jove relationship
that the individual chooses to enter Into with God.
In our day of infOimal relationships with our friends, we
know that we often disappoint them or !betray their trust in uz;.
This is no grievous error, though, and we think it not in the least
embarrassing or awkward to immediately approach them an<l
apologize for our breach of friendship. How different it is, however,
in our love relationship with God. V/hy is this so'! Therc
are as many different reasons. as there are .pc!rsonallti,es .on a
campus. It seems to me, though. that there are a few prominent
reasons. 'common to most cOllege students why our apologies to
GOd are Ic!!Js frequcnt and more awkward.
One of these reasons is found in the very love relationship
itself that we choose to have with God. For many college students
it is merely a Sunday or a once-a-week relationship. Which one
of us would be content with seeing and communicating with some
of our best friends for just one hour out of every week? We too
often forget that God is incorporated right in us, he is responsible
for OUl· vcry breath and sees our every move. \Vhich one of us
can claim that we have a friend that loves us as much and knows
us as weU as does God? Isn't It ironic that this is the friend that
we think the least about and apologize so little to? This abuse
of God's love is probably explained by the fact that a great deal
of us consider God not as a friend but as a master. God is our
creator, but Jesus beeame llesh and blood in order to bef-j"nd
himself to mankind. We all must strive for a better understanding
of the spirit with which Jesus came and lived side by side with us.
He came as a friend, not as a master.
With this clearer understanding, it will be easier and more
nalural for the individual to enter into a true love relationship
wJth God. With Jesus as our friend it will be easier and more
natural for us to communicate with Him every day, easier for us
to ask fOI· strength and, therefore, to apologize more sincerely
nnd renew our relationship with confidence and innocence.
Hen! are some opinions of
U. B. students on the TRIUl'.'

"I think it is a good idea. It
should profit the students of
both Fairfield and U. B. by allowing

The set and lighting were

was more lhan a detention

had the cold-gray uniformity

The lightlr.g technique at the
closing with the slow fade-out
on Von Berg was superb and
greatly aided the delineation of
that character as olle set apart

A special word or gratefulness
goes to Mr. Robert G.
Emerich, the director, not only
for his capable and artistic dil-
ection, which has become the
hallmark of all the Playhouse

"Incident al Vichy" to be
performed. It is a subject that
must be constantly reevaluated
by the intellectual community;
his production on this count
stands in solitary witness.
one is bctwecn Fraulein Schneider,
Brackshaw's landlady, and
one of her tenants, Herr
Schultz. Lotte Tenya, as thc
landlady, has some of the
show's best material, and plays
it to weary, ageing perfection.
To a mocking melody, she
sings a song of her sad, ineffectual
love aiiairs, each verJ;e
ending in this chorus: "... but
the sun still shines, and the
moon still sets, and you learn
to settle for what you get; it'll
all be here, if you're around or
not; so what? So what? So
what?" Herr Schultz, whom
she engages herself to, is a
Jew, which means nothing to
her until she realizes that the
Nazis seriously inlend to persecute
the Jews. She then decides
to settle for what has always
been most important to
her, survival. She breaks it
off. The trouble in this plot Is
that Herr Schultz is allowed to
be the typical Broadway Jew.
He even has a song called
"Mecskite" (ugly one) telling
us that the people who produce
beauty can't be ugly. The song,
tike most of Herr Schultz, is
charming, and should have been
thrown out of the show; It has
no guts, and, as such has no
place in "cabaret" .
Dancing gorillas, Inany sailored

is the vision that is "Cabaret·"
a vision with a voice of muted
proclaimaUons; not polemically,
but dramatically, through the
experience of a musical character
pattern, we realize how all
lovely life can be stamped out
beneath a dancing slipper's heel.

characters, what dreadful retrospection

constantly groped and Questioned
to find some reason behind
the absurdity, and Peter
Brosnan as Von Berg, the
aesthetic aristocrat who though
previously aloof and uninvolved
in SUffering is brought to sacri·
tice his life. Around these two,
who peer deepe:,1. into the soul's
malignancy are a fine cast of
performen;, presenting a wide
spectrum of the falth and ideals
man clings to in despair and
which betray him to his fellow
man. Such men betrayed are
Robert Mann as LeBeau, Chester
Artysiewicz as Bayard,
Bernard McGrane as Monceau,
and Vincent Curcio as the
Major.
The last vestige", of hope for
these men fade as the truth
they would not face becomes
the essence of their hell. Thetr
mark-time existence at Vichy,
the life of compromise, escape,
and silence, is to end in the
ovens in Poland. One man
though, who shares the guilt of
silence and who's sacrifice is
seemingly insignificant compared
to the endless procession
of prisonen;, does make a choice.

"Carbaret" has a very rare
thing on thc musical stage, musicality
in the very statement
of its being. About gaudy lowlife
in pre-war Berlin, it presents
life as a carburet dancing
a dance of death. Flimsy sets,
draped ratted gray, creek
a c r 0 s s the stage; ehronies
squeal, lurching in cheap, saggy
parodies of eroticism, and all
thc while lyrics and saxaphones
blearily blat. T his blouzy
janglc at last ineffably reveals
and epitomizes itself as a memento
more in a rondo sung
by "Carbaret's" waiters and
rouged, cynical M. C:s; thc
lyrics are: "The sand in the
meadow is golden and wann,
the stag in the forest is free;
so gather tOf;cther to brave the
storm tomorrow belongs to me."
"Cabaret"' it no more 01· less
than this, and that is its sue·

its musical expression.
The only problem "cabaret"
gets into OCCUlTS when it· get

renegade English society girl,
who begins each day with 3
shot of gin and prarie oysters.
Unfortunately, Jill Haworth
plays her as if she were Holly
Golightly; Joe Masterhofr, who
wrote the book, tells the story
of her love affair with \vritter
Cliff Blackshaw (greyly played
by Bert Convy) with a minimum
of musical comedy marshmellow,
but the all' of fascinaUng
decay that he has provided
for Sally in the script .
just isn't supplied by Miss

Future historians may well
shape their view of the twentieth
century Christian Church
from its silence during the extermination
of a chosen people,
Such a dew could not be
shaped for the contemporary
theater, however, which refuses
to permit that silence, that
gloss of conscience. Hochhuth's
"The Deputy" and Weiss' "The
Investigation", both paratheatrical
documentaries, and the
more cogent "Incident Vichy"
by Arthur Miller reaffirms the
blood guilt the Church and
Christians bear in this betrayal
of the gospel.
Miller's play, recently performed
at the University Playhouse,
became in the hands of
the young and intense cast a
bitter indictment of those dil-
ectly re::.-ponsible for the atmcitie!'!;

projected the Question
of the complicity of silence, the

"In Opposition to the New LeU"
There is a political phenomena in this country which is called
the New Left. I disagree with it and, In this column, wish to
state one major disagreement based upon the foreign policy of
the New Left, their view of Communism. First, I will present the
position of the New Left toward Conununism, basing this on an
article written in the Saturday s.e,1ew by E. M. Keating, a left·
wlng catholic lawyer and politician. Then, I will state my o~
position.
The following are direct quotes fTOm Mr. Keating concerning
his view of Communism and our foreign pollcy toward it:
"If anything marks American political orientation and direction,
it is its paranoia over Communism. If our policy-makers had
their way, we would not only contain Communism, we would
destroy it. And destroy it in a most literal sense - laying waste
to the land and destroying lives."
"You cannot bomb Communism to death; you must feed it to
death, and heal It to death. Where there is ignorance you must
bring knowledge, where there Is poverty, you must bring rellef,
and, most important, where there Is oppression you must bring
justice."
These quotes .....ere Air. Keating's. My oppositioD will center
around his denounclation of American "paranoia" toward Communism
and his position on how Communism should be dealt with.
No one would argue that anti-eommunism has been one of
the major factors influencing American popular opinion and, consequently,
the Administrations since the time it became apparent
that Communism was out to make trouble for the stricken postwar
world. And this growth in our anti-eommunism since the war
- the paranoia of Mr. Keating - has usually been beneflcial.
The U.S. would have been blind to overlook the threat of
Communism to our Allles in Europe in the 1940's when we could
see first hand what was happening to the people of Eastern Europe
who were being subjected to Communism. After giving Russia
the aid to continue Its fight against Hitler and going through a
world conflict considering Russia our aUy and friend, this socalled
paranoia could only grow from America's realization that
Communism means the violent end of certain rights we treasure
and are very serious over protecting. And, since the war, we have
seen the open effort of Communism to take over by force the
freedom of peoples throughout the world: the invasion of Korea.
the crushing of the Hungarians, its violent subversion up to today
- from Greece to the !l.liddJe East to Africa to Latin America,
and the open aggression In Asia against the South Vletnames£>,
thc Thais, the Indians, the Indonesians, the Malaysians, the LaDo
llans, the Phillpplnos. Yes, in a sense we have developed a paranoiac
position against Communism. But In the face of such recent
JUstory - what other view can we take?
But, even before I askco this question, an answer has been
",Iready given by the Ncw Left through Mr. Keating. It reads ~
B pr8.)'er - knowledge over ignorance, relief over poverty, justice
)ver oppression, and, you can't bomb Communism to death. But
m this answer lies another question: whether it is the people or
the governments we arc dealing with.
I beUe,'c we are deaUn~ \\ith Communisl regimes _ Dot &be
people they conll'ol. I bellen that In tile ,'lew of reeent bUtory,
we caDJ10t conUder lbe pra)'er of Mr. Keating and the New Left
u a '..,ry pragmallc foreign poUc)'. It is too mucb of a risk on the
part of the Free World to think it can stop a Communism, which
has up to now been aggressive In any area It could, with the type
of knowledge-relief policy that the New Left desires. This aid Is
"ery appropriate in underdeveloped nations not yet taken by
Communism as a preventive measure to It. But no where else Is
it possible.
T.hus, I .have sta~ mx opposition to the New Left's view
of Communism ~d the f~ign polley that would result from it.
And, in presenting my opposition, I was not able to separate
Communisms because of the space - It would take too mucb area
to discuss each one and a policy pragmatic for each. I am a memo
ber of the so-called Right-Wing. Air. Keating Is a member of the
so-alled Left-Wing. Each of us has a position against the threat
of Communism: his more complacent, mine more militant. I only
hope that the position taken for each situation of dealing with
Communism will be correct. History and our chUdren depend
upon our proper judgment.

THE VILLAGE BAR
And a long half time it was
as the adept maintenance crew
look quite a while to fix the
jcllo rims. The second half was
shortened five minutes because
of the delay.
In the second half, Wayne
Gibbons, backcourt ball handler,
c<lntinued to run the offense for
the Stags. Using more moves
than a chess master, Gibbons
drove, shot, and bounced passes
off the hands of startled teammates.
He totaled 20 points for
the night.
The potent Freshman offense
THE STAG
Frank Map,letta lets fly a
long Jumper,
By 8U1 D'Alessandro
Fairfield University and Bos·
ton College displayed their 1970
basketball machines in the New
Haven Arena, where ineptness
seems to be the watchword.
The young Eagles, showing
poise and excellent shooting,
downed the Stags, who per·
formed like a group of All-Stars
playing together for the first
time. The final score was 96-75.
Plagued by loose rims and
silk-like nets which had an annoying
tendency to wrap around
the hoop after every basket,
both teams nevertheless began
at a fast pace. Jim Hessel of
Fairfield was the first to open
spectators' eyes and make his
presence felt on the court by
tangling up the net with a few
deadly shots from too far out
to believe.
But B. C. came right back
with a shooter of their own,
Bobby Dukiet, who :ic<lred
every possible way and always
looked as if he were blushing
at his own talent.
These were not the only two
players who knew how to score.
Frank Magaletta, who started
slowly, began to hit with one
of the most accurate shots
around and showed great sec·
ond effort on offense. He finished
with 20 points.
B. C. was packed with a well
balanced lineup. Midway in the
second period, when Boston
began passing to spots and
finding their free players, it
it became apparent they were
drilled well enough to give the
Stags trouble.
By the half time the score
was 56-36.

Gibbons, Magaletta Impressive
Lut WedbHday night'a 93·76 defeat at the handa
of BMton College wu certainly a diaappointment to
everyone of Fairfield aentiment. Aaide from the !game
itaelf, however, there waa another very obvioua and
diailhuioni.na" factor to be ccmsidered. Fairfield'a fint
home game in ib new bome, the New Haven .Arena,
wu completely immeraed in probab'ly the mMt 'abOOdy
atmO&phere CDDceivable.
The hon-or show began at the door as the crowd
was still bunched up outside just a few moments pl;or
to the start of the freshman game. This proved to be a
mere preview of a panorama of events which would
have rivaled any circus.
It took little time to realize that playing conditions
in the Arena were anything but satisfactory. The court
itself was laid over ice and the chilly, dank effects
could be felt both on the court and in the immediate
area surrounding it. Thanks to a request by Bob Cousy,
the court was insulated somewhat before the game.
Probably the mu.t noticeable aDd irritating annoy·
anee of tbe evening w.. the .oft, ailky neta which conatantly
became entangled after b..keb were made and
caused repeated delaya in tbe teame. Another inexcusable
lack of attention wu manifest by a deplorably
10ft rim which wu .0 obviowly loose that it had to be
replaced at halftime of the freahman game. When the
rim wu finally replaced, ao much time had been conawned
in the proceq that the second half of the fruh·
man game had to be abbreviated to fifteen minutea.
The acoustics were absolutely horrendous, to say
the least. The referees were constantly hampered be·
cause their whistles could not be heard above the constant
din, and this was probably a major factor later
in the game when a couple of players were still grappling
for a rebound, a tussle that ended in an open
brawl. The warning buzzer was barely audible, causing
substitutions to be constantly delayed and time out
periods unconsciously extend·ed.
One of the more prominent inadequacies which
greatly added to the ill atmosphere of this dreary pit
was the all too obvious lack of ventilation. It didn't
take long for the cigarette smoke to form a dull, stitlinK
smog which gave the arena a certain cheerful, aromatic
appeal.
The arrangement of the individual chairs at courtside
definitely had convenience in mind. Not only were
they too close to the court, which enabled spectators
to take a couple of steps onto the hardwood and join
the second half melee during which one fan was seriously
injured, but they were $0 strategically placed
that after you stumbled and nudged your way to your
seat you found yourself in the most cramped position
possible, This enabled you to effortlessly sit in another
person's lap, whether you so desired or not.
Still another point in favor of the arena wu the
ahort&l'e of capable ushera (or when at all) and an
even more inadequate group of police. The fight which
took place mwt be mentioned here. It reaulted from a
display of quick tempera .on the part of both team.
throughout the game and reRected poorly on the respective
achoola. Fortunately, what could have easily
been a full scale riot waa quelled by cool headed
coach., the refereea, and .everal poeata. The police
were about u fOT'Ceful and effective u the Keyatone
Copa.
One of the best side shows occulTed after the
game when one of the hired help, the majority of
which looked and acted like hobos, persisted in trying
to yank a table from underneath the statisticians and
newspaper men. In a personal effort to distract him,
this surly old gentleman informed me that he had
gotten out of bed at 10 :30 p.m. the preceding night to
put up the previously mentioned shaky rim. Considering
his inebriated condition, the excellent job on th~
basket the previous night was quite understandable.
Since he had a hammer pl'otruding from his back
pocket, 1 sensibly cut short my conversation with him.
In ahort, it ia hard to find anything attractive
or advantageoua about the New Haven Arena. The fact
that it can aeat 5,500 waa offset by an actual attendance
rA 3,800, a crowd which could just ... eaaily be aeated
in the gymnaaium at ,Bridgeport Central High School.
Why abould Fairfield fa... travel ao far for auch an
inadequate arrangement aa exiata at the Arena? Either
a new aite ahould be looked into' for future .game. 0"
the deplorable conditio... at the Arena ahould be rectified
before the next game. There wu one compliDlent
in favor of the Arena after the came. One of the Fairfield
playen' brother aaked, "Did they build thia place
lut nip-t?"
