that the amendment·s proposal

that the change offered a num­ber

Offsets Peace
"To offset last week's Peace
Fast, we have dmwn up a peti­tion
for those who believe In
the necessity of the Vietnam
War," according to Ralph
Kister, one of Ihree student or­ganizers.
The petition can be
signed loday and tomorrow at
lunch and dinner hours in Ihe
Campus Center lobby.
Mr. Kister explained that he
"considers the fast as a political
move to embarrass the Presi­dent's
position In Vietnam. The
petition will be a visible sign
of unity of those for the war."
The petition, drawn up by
Mr. Kister, Gordon Haesloop
and Paul Kemezis, will read,
"We the undersigned, realize;
I. The necessity of the present
coml"1l.tment of the government
of tne United States in Vietnam
and support the war; and sup­port;
II. The pursuance of a
reasonable solution to the war

To the Editor;
In regard to the notices of a retreat
given by Father Bonn, S.J., I would like
to pose this question. It would seem
to me that any retreat promising "hard
hitting piety" only for "people with
guts" Is a contradiction within Itself and
completely unrelated to the Ecumenical
spirit of the contemporary Roman
catholic OlUrch. This concept of a re­treat
was viable in the time of Jonathan
Edwards, but can hardly be considered
beneficial today.
A true retreat should emphasize ChrIs­tian
SPIRIT and EDUCATION. Modern
concepts in theology would be brought
up and discussed. The talks would be
geared to the participants IDtelleetuai
and not his emotional feelings.
"Hellfire." "blood" and "guts" are not
needed to approach Christ; maybe a
little love would do, or Is that a "soft
silly effeminate approe.ch"?
Yours truly,
£Obert DebleJ' '89

Peace Corps PraIse
To the Editor;
I'm writing this letter out of a per­sonal
enthusiasm (being a graduate of
Fairfield, Class of 1964) which has re­sulted
from the tremendous response
that was given to the Peace Corps
during the campus recruiting visit of
the week of January 9th.
With the help of Tim McManus '68,
and Paul Buecker '68, the recruiting ef­fort
was very successful as :3 Fa1rfI.eld
seniors applIed to the Peace Corps.
Percentage-wise, this is an extremely
high number of applicants which puts
Fairfield near the top of the list in
Peace Corps recruiting this year.
As a returned Peace Corps voluntC!er
I have great conviction In the value of
the PeaCe Corps experience and I'm
personally impressed with the increasing
Interest In the Peace Corps at Fairfield.

Stag spirit is like.
letter to President Johnson only
cast doubts on this supposition.
The affiliation with the National
Committee of Clergymen and
Laymen Concerned About Viet­nam,
an organization that has
made political manifestations,
and the invocation of such poli­ticians
as Sen. Eugene J. Mc­Carthy
and Sen. Wayne Morse,
only strengthen this doubt,
Some considered the fast a
totally political manifestation, a
view denied in the original an­nouncement.
But as cited above,
these felt that they had serious
enough reasons for this position
and, in fact, these participants
functioned as arbitrators at the
final meeting.
Both parties went into the fast
with deep convictions. We respect
these men. But we denounce the
leadership for creating confusion.
The fast, which was to be a com­munal
sacrifice, was tarnished by
the dichotomy and factionalism
which resulted.
The reason for the postpone·
ment of the organizational meet­ing
is understandable; but we
cannot see why the leadership
did not postpone the fast until
its true purpose could be deter­mined.
The Y.I.C. does not represent
the total concensus of student
opinion concerning welfare, in­tegration
in education, interracial
marriage, and the civil rights
movement in general. We do not
question what the,. .land for, but
should people be led to believe
that they represent the students
of Fairfield University on such a
controversial matter? This is es­pecially
important since they are
so admittedly convinced of their
point of view. Therefore, we feel
that they should not be given
student funds and the use of the
University's students' name to
spread their ideals.
This holds true for any campus
organization purporting a specific
social or political viewpoint. For
example, consider the Republi­can,
Democratic, and Conserva­tive
clubs.
If the Student Government
gives these priveges to the Y.I.C.
it would be setting a prece­dent,
and would have to allow
other organizations that are pro­ponents
of ideals on the touchiest
of subjects to receive the right to
the students' funds and name.
The effects of anythinj{ done
in the name of Fairfield Univer­sity
must be borne by all the
students. Therefore, in the best
interests of the Student Body,
we ask that the Youth Interracial
Council's apulication not to be
approved and that this or~aniza­tion
not be brou2'ht under the
auspices of the Student Govern­ment.
Let's
Handle
The STAG highly commends the
moral fiber and conviction of
those who last week fasted for
peace. The sacrifice of these men
admirably attests to their matur­ity
and sincerity, But, at the same
time, we criticize the inept lead­ership
which created confusion
and disillusionment in these men.
as well as in the entire student
body.
After three days of fasting,
fifty minutes of heated discussion
were necessary to determine a
unified purpose for this fasting,
Organizational meetings were, in
the past, held before an event,
not after - is there any excuse
for this change?
The organizers claimed that
this fast was a non-political mani­festation
- what, then, was it?
Was it a religious expression, as
many believed? On a Catholic
campus, one would expect to find
prayer and Mass included in any
religious expression. One would
also expect that a religious func­tion
would be directed to God,
and if petitions are drawn, they
would be sent to a religious
leader,
But the absence of any refer­ence
to God and the drafting of a

It is also an opportunity to spread
the name of the University and
The Youth Interracial Council
is presently submitting an appli­cation
to the Fairfield University
Student Government for the pur­pose
of coming under its auspices.
We, THE STAG, feel that it
should not be approved.
Any organization desiring to
come under the Student Govern­ment
must submit a constitution
and meet the requirements out­lined
in the Student Handbook.
If the Student Government au­thorizes
the organization, it is
then entitled to request budg­etary
funds and also has the right
to connect its name with that of
the University Student Body.
When a club or organization
applies for such privileges, the
Student Government is obliged to
take a long, hard look for the
sake of the students as a whole.
The Youth Interracial Council's
aims are to aid in bringing social
justice and welfare through tutor­ing,
panel discussions, and folk­singing
groups, and to foster the
civil rights movement.
A twofold problem arises here.
First, shOUld any part of the stu­dents'
money (including the four
dollar and fifty cent Activities
Fee) be delegated to an organi­zation
which is a proponent of a
view which may not be that of
the majority of the Student
Body? Second, should the name
of the University's student group
be allowed to be associated with
the Youth Interracial Council,
which is steadfast on such a deli­cate
political and social point as
civil lights?

"OONCERNING TliOSE WHO TfiOUGHT TO FAST"
Recently. a few of our student body and faculty have taken
part in a three day "Fast for Peacc' ill Vietnam", AIU10Ugh the
fast aione was a sign of personal courage for those who sincerely
undertook it, IT WAS ESSE.""TlALLY A l'USLEADlNG "HAP.
PEXL"'iO" WIDell. BY TIlE L.""ITlAL AIM STATED IN ITS
X.-\.NIFESTO, CONTRADICTED ITS "NOT A POLITICAL
MA..,,"-':FESTATION" STATE)IENT. And, by this contradiction, it
was aimed at nothing more than a gesture TO EMBARR.".SS THE
IDro'TED STATES POSITION IN Vu:rNA.~.
When we seriously look at the manifesto of the fast and
the news release written by Mr, Rhodes conccrning the fm. we
easily see that it was not a fast for peace in general nor a stated
religiously orientated fast - but a fast which was speciJically
aimed at th(' connict in Vietnam by what Mr, Rhodes quotoo
as an "act of penitence" for the war and which resulted in the
composition of a lettp.r for peace, scnt primarily to President
Johnson who is a political leader and shall accept the letter as
such.
Concerning ourselves with the letter which was drafted by the
peace fasters, we see that is was a compromise of those who
undertook the fast for religious motives and those who did it for
political ones, The manifesto for the fast and the STAG artid£'
concerning the fast made It obviously politically motivated - but
those who felt that the fast should have been religious forcoo
a compromise.
A few choice quotes from their debate show the confusion
which characterized their letter drafting meeting:
Fr. J. Murphy: "I fasted as a form of prayer to the Lord,"
Mr. Petry; "How can you be for peace and not against war:'
R. Egatz: "Peace is politieal."
Mr. Petry: "But as a group we mus.t make a decision so that
everyone can sign."
From thl!; meetlng ClUlte their leiter, comprom1Aed so lbat
IlII oould sIgn. II mention!! Vietnam tor Ihe poUt1eotI and Ihe Pope
Cor the religious.
But no matter how vague they kept tbeir letter. no matter
how much of a compromise their IC!Uer was. the fast was initially
presented to the student body through their manifesto and Mr,
Rhodes' article as a political manifestation. And, because of this.
it lost its altruism and became nothing more than another plea
to halt the Vietnam conflict when all the pickets and the petitions
have failed. It was, in effect, a last gasp by those opposed to the
war. motivated to embarrass our govemment into yielding to their
aims.
But what 1 cOJUllder !oJ be m08t unCortullate ooncemiDg this

We would have readily joined a fast which, as an expression
of a Catholic unh·ersity. would have bec!n aimed at seeking the aid
of Quist in the seareh for peace in a world tom by constant war;
and which would have followed the words of Olrist, therefore
needing no letter other than God's knowledge of our fast:
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint they bead and
wash they face, that thou appear not to fast, but to thy
Father who Is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in
secret wil repay thee. -Math. 6: 16-21
But, unfortunately. the fast was not so originated or so
orientated: and, as a result. it was lost in its own ''oon-poUtical,
nonreligious" misrepresentation. It was obviously organized by
those with strong political conviction against our involvement
in Vietnam, an organization which from the beginning destroyed
any beauty or altruism which could have been salvaged from
those three days of willful starvation and a letter, compromised
to be both political and religious so that as a group all the fasters
could sign.

The Flicks:
Hosannas
"A Man For All SCasons" is
a well nigh perfect movie. 1 find
that the usual reviewer's job of
pointing out strengths and
weaknesses in individual per­fonnanccs
and technical achieve.
mCDts becomes a long list of
"hosannas". Asswning that you
already know something of the
Thomas More story, and since
a list of congratulations should
not stand alone, I will fl.rst de­velop
a system of sorts to judge
the whole business against.
Alter applauding everybody, I
think that some of the great­ness
of "A Man For All Sea­sons"
can be explained by the
fact that it is the cumulation of
a certain style of fllms that has
developed In recent years.
An Explanation
1 wiJI try to explain this un­named
style around a core of
three mms: "Becket", "Law­rencc
of Arabia", and "Doctor
Zhivago". We start with either
an historical figure or a fictional
character belonging to a dra­matic
historical period. We
make an intensely psycho­logical
study of him, based on
an excellent piece of literature.
The cast will be Anglo-Ameri­can
with the greater bulk of
the talent English. We tend to
de-emphasize the historical to
get at the person - "Khar­tuom"
could be a jWlior mem­ber
here, but all was sacrifi<:ed
for the sake of facts. In com­pensation
however. we do in­clude
a number of brilliant.
sweeping scenes to create the
mode of the particular life and
times, Lawrence's deserts and
Zhivago's Russia for example.
The sets ana camera work pre­sent
a very rich background
which is highly unpbony. 'There
are many other similarities in
this group of fUms including the
acclaim which they received
from the public. Now where
I go out on a limb is 1) saying
that these movies were a
cogent. connected "wave'" of
cinema, and 2) saying that "A
Man For All seasons" is the
legitimate heir. and. up to now,
ultimate perfection of this
st)'le.
Peraonal Side
In "1\ Man For All Seasons".
we are presented with a pl5Ycho­logical
picture of St. Thomas
More. and fortunately it Is one
based on the public rather than
the prlvate man. When you
make movies of great men of
history you naturally tend to­wards
their personal Uves to
create drama; however, when
you are done, how much of the
historical f1.gure is left? The
personal side of Thomas More
in the movie is reduced to a
number of subplots including
his loss of friendship with the
king. The main argument Is a
metaphysical and moral one.

THE ISSUE OF COEDUCATION
Tttese quot~ refleet the ,..ned oplaIoaa aDd treDdli upreued by the lltudent body.
PRO CON
Socially the problem should be a reconsideration of the rela.
tionship between female schools and Fairfield before a jump at
co-ed could be considered.
I think it would be wiser for Fairfield to postpone the admit­tance
of female students until it is more able to cope with the
problems which could possibly accompany the admittance of fe.­male
students.
Why should we do what other colleges do? Let us keep Fair.
field the good school it is now.
Many of us came to FU becaUS\! it was all male - we like it
this way.
Girls would mean a more hectic social life. and as it is I al­ready
don't do enough studying. The new restrictions would be
disgusting as are the ones already imposed.
Based on past experience, specifical)y that of S1. Peter's, I
know that there must be a three year lapse between the cliKuaaioa
and final action of the acceptance of females.
Does Yale need women students to make it the world renowned
school that it is? There are many Catholic girl schools crying for
superior students. Let the girls go there.
I believe that the slight social advantage would be far out­weighed
in the disadvantages of broken spirit, unattentive aca­demics,
and a departure from distinctiveness.
I think that the admittance of girJs would seriously detract
from the image that Fairfield has attained as a boys' school.
The overall relaxed atmosphere of campus and classroom life
would be hampered.
I like the neutral position taken by the S.T.A.G. (Students
Trying to Accept Girls.)
How can the induction of girls improve the rating? I'd rather
work up to the rating of Princeton or Dartmouth rather than that
of Syracuse or UCLA.
I hope the student vote means something, and itsn't dis­regarded
if it disagrees with the Administration.
Apparently the trustees of FU are thinking of coeducation
because "everyone's doing it." This seems to me a meager argu­ment
for it. The strongest argument against it is the student body.
We came to all all male school on our own volition; this speaks
for itself.
J do feel that there are many existing institutions capable of
educating aerioua women students, so a rea! need does not exist.
I seliously doubt that Fairfield U. can be so bold to assume it
can offer a good education to a co-ed. They have yet to achieve an
adequate curriculum for the male student.
The plan may be more feasible at a later date. This plan has
been forced on the students too quickly. I don't feet that the plan
could be put into effect by next year without it being messed up in
some way.
Fairfield U. has the potential to be one of the great all-male
universities in the U.S. Let's give it a try.
One of the major reasons for many students (present and
alumni) for coming to FU was the fact that it was non.coeduca­tional.
Should it be the administration's destiny to stab US in the
back.
Instead the difficulty in attracting qualified female students
to a relatively expensive and previously all male school might
retard this school's approach to academic maturity.
I think the best thing that could be done would be to establish
a separate all.girls' college somewhere near FU. Then there could
be a co-ordination of certain aspects of col1elZe life while leaving
the strictly academic, i.e., classrooms, and the all-male campus
alone.

Stags Want Women; Favor
If we are to be men of the future we must be able to deal with
women of the future - socially, intellectually and academically.
Co-ed is a step in this direction. It's necessary that women be lo­cated
on campus to make co-ed really work.
The all-male college is one of the falsest, most unreal little
worlds ever created. Might as well get used to having women
around at the "U", because they're here for good on the outside.
It would diminish the present spirit but would greatly enhance
the over-all atmosphere by providing a DeW side to ",ery conflict
on this campus. Also, I don't believe this school has very much
tradition at the present time, anyway.
Educationally F. U. has reached or is reaching a level equal to
any other college. The social life and social graces that should be
learned in college, however, are not being learned. Therefore, I
support some form of coeducation.
I think it would improve Farfield intellectually but would also
give a psychologically healthier environment for education. I think
this aspect is as important as "intellectuality," per se.
I experienced it one year at Fordham - the whole environ­ment
for study, play, etc., was optimum!
The possibility of a "sister" school system such as Harvard
and Radcliffe should be looked into.
I think the social life at FU is decaying, and I think this would
be·a good opportunity to produce more wen rounded men.
You can't consider yourself fully educated until you've ex­pelienced
an appreciation of another's view. Fairfield needs variety
in its student body desperately if it expects to survive.
1 would prefer co--inatitution at Fairfield rather than coeduca­tion,
i.e., a situation similar to that of Notre Dame - St. Mary's.
Forty miles is a long way to go to see a girl for one date on a
weekend!
Further questions should have been included (such as the ques­tions
of a sister school set-up with the Sisters of Notre Dame) and
the type of coeducation preferred, (coordinate, "paper college, etc.)
Twent to a Catholic co-ed high school for two years and then
an all boys school for two years and I definitely think that coeduca­tion
is best intellectually and socially.
I feel it is unnatural for a male of 20 years old not to desire
the opposite sex. So is a night out drinking with the boys really
considered a good time?
1 would like to see Fairfield as a real co-ed university; rather
than a half-way effort like co-op or co-ordinate plan would be.
I'm all for it. The same type of co·ed institution as St. Peter',,:.
Having attended several colleges and universities before
spending the last two years at Fairfield I find that the factor pre­venting
FU from obtaining academic, social, and spiritual excel­lence
is the absence of a coeducational system.
Why not! The other schools seem to survive. It will come
sooner or later, so why not now?
They should be required to meet the same standards that men
do on the academic level. I have heard many reports from other
co-ed Catholic colleges which retlect that women just ride right
through while the men have to do the work.
Co-ed dayhops sounds good. But co-ed boarding students
would invade the privacy of an all male community.
The school has a responsibility to begin admitting female stu­dents
since there are few colleges (Catholic) for them in this area
if they cannot afford to board away.
We .....ant girls!!!
1 think the applications for admission would really increase if
we went co-ed. Most boys and girls would rather attend a co-ed
school while in college.

I'm quite sure! that all right thinking people are disturbed
concerning the lack of peace around the globe and particularly
in Vietnam; therefore, l must make a statement on the somewhat
questionable "starve {or peace" demonstration. It is reasonable
that when intelligent, sincere people form an opinion about any
situation the stre!ngth of their convictions urges them to direct
their actions and energies in a positiVe! way for a solution to the
problem. The particlpnnts In last week's demonstration conducted
a fast as "an act of penilenc<," for the war in Vietnam. It was
also a "Fast for Peace."
It is my opinion, howevcr, that this act was not a positive
means for the pragmatic solution for the problem of peaee. The
demOll!!ltmlors chose fI, rellrioull ac' to express their concern for n
problem that needll a. political solution. Therefore, I believe thal
in realily the partakers did nothing (or anyone but themselves.
We are all frustrated by our powerlessness and inability to
do anYthing concrete and immediate concerning the war in Viet­nam.
Perhaps fasting for peace and in reparation for sins aile­\'
iates these frustrations but It In no way alters any Intelligent,
practical solutions to the problems that the demonstrators are
really concerned about.
I'm sure that the people in Vietnam, starving and bleeding
to death in the unbearable heat and mud of their terrain, don't
care whether or not some middle ciass. healthy American students
and facuIty decide to make that very admirable decision to live
only on rice and tea for three big days. This great sacrifice did
nothing positive for these unfortunate people. U the food and
money saved from this fast had been transported to those who
are really stan-ing, then this demostration would have offered a
practical solution to one of the many problems. Perhaps if the
students who are so "concerned" made the personal decision to
leave their American wa)' of life and enlisted 8.! an aid in the
medical corp volunteering to work in the hospitals in Vietnam,
then their "concern" could be appreciated.
As it was, howe"er, this phenomenOn was characterized b)'
affectation, lack o{ serious thought, and a "jump on the band
"'agon" attitude. Serious introspective thought, in many cases.
was substituted by the sheer novelty and excitement of the event.

would not onl)' be ph)'sleall)' rontent but mentally proud. To ass0­ciate
the word sacrifice to a decision of this kind seems to me to
be almost sacrilegious. It would not only be false but foolish to
accuse all the partakers of being deliberately deceptive in their
actions; more than likely, most were sinf:ere. What cannot be
tolerated are those who participated for the sheer human respect
of it.
The hyPOCrisy behind the demonstration was witnessed in a
statement issued before the event began deelarlng that It was
not to be a "political manifestation." However, to know some of
the men on the faculty who participated in the demonstration is
to know just how political the demonstration was. There were
also factions involved that desired to make known their concern
for peace in the world yet wanted "hands off" the Vietnam Issue.
In short. those Involved desired peace around the world but were
unwilling to cope with the actual problem at hand which Is how
to achieve this peace and particularly In VIetnam. This is where
the demonstration lost Its value and forfeited any positive action
for peace.
I cannot deny that there were sincere intentions with which
some of the more mature participants approached this demonstra­tion.
However, I find that it was 'extremely unfortunate that the
organizers chose such a negative means with whIch to demon·
strate their concern. Furlhennorc, any criticisms offered to the
sincere partakers cannot begin to compare with my criticism of
those self-righteous individuals who possess the utter impudence
to accuse the non-partakers a~ bC!lng cowardly, unreliable and un·
dependable human helng... The participation of the actton for
actions' sake and close minded Individuals was the most unfor­tunate
factor in the whole demonstration.

obscured by the propaganda.

The Juvenile Court of Bridge­port

cause of financial problems, the
team has been forced to operate
on a very limited schedule. It
lost a scrimmage to Norwalk
Comunity College early in the
season 5-3. Last Wednesday
evening it lost a 4-2 decision to
a semi-pro team lrom Norwalk.
Both games were plaYed at thE'
Crystal Rink.
However, their slow start Is
in no way indicative of the
team's potential. With such out­standing
players as Bob Peck,
Ben Hill, Phil Miller and Tony
Hartigan, it \\Ill] not be long
before the team is compctinl-:
aaginst some ot Ihe finest
schools in the area.
Coach Conway's plans are to
scrimmage with several semi­pro
teams in the area, gradu4
ally developing an experienced
and well-balancr:d team. This
Monday they will play the
"Wolverines". a semi4pro team
from Norwalk.
Next year the team will be
competing In the Norwalk

believes that with a little ef·
fort and some financial aid.
Fairfield should make a very

• The PauJist Father is a modern
... in every sense of the word. He
is a man of this age, cognizant of
the needs of modern men. He is
free from stifling formalism, is a
pioneer in using contemporary
ways to work with, for and among
100 million non-Catholic Amer­icans,
He is amissionary to his own
people-the American people. He
utilizes modern techniques to fu~
till his mission, is encouraged to
call upon his own innate talents to
help further his dedicated goal.
• If the vital spark of serving God
through man has been ignited in
you, why not pursue an investiga·
tion of your life as a priest? The
Paulist Fathers have developed an
aptitude test for the modern man
interested in devoting his life to
God. This can be a vital instrument
to help you make the most impor·
tant decision of your life. Write for
it today.
