Furth"r Comment
The speech, prompted by a
bill limiting Ihe number of
absences a legislaror may have
from a Legislature or Committee
mt.'Cting, was nol the
only account ra\'orinK the bill'!.'
acceptancc, James Magenhimer
spoke on the primac)' or adjusting
the laws to specify the
number or times excused at>..
scntts .....ould be allowed. and to
tl")' to establish a means by
which the situation could be
c1arined and ameliorated.
Important Law
As the By-Laws now stand,
8 member or the legislature is
allowed a tOlal or no more
than three absences from the
meetings or the legislature and!
or a spccine committee, "The
importance of this law is ex·
Ircmely sIgnificant." Magenheimer
stated, "since the removal
of a member from office
leads to confusion, and the difficulty
in getting new members
to gl'a;;p and adjust to the ways
or the legislature is too time
consuming,"
Under the presenl amend·
menl, Ihe president of the c:1ass
to whic:h the overcut member
belongs would then have the
power to appro,'e or disapprove
the readmission of a member

Ramblings
Science is a wonderful thing. Because of the technological
advances which scientific study has made possible, modern man
lives in more comfort, with more conveniences than ever before.
The mPdical advances which have come about in the last two
decades have allowed more people to live longer. But science, like
everything else in the field of human endeavors, is only as advantageous
as the usc that mankind gives to it. Science only provides
the means. But only man can provide the goals. Culturally
and morally, science h~ had a tremendous etrect on civilization
But with scientific advancemenl comes awesome responsibility.
SCience, for example, developed nuclear energy. Before i13
full potential was even realized, they made an atomic bomb. Two
cities had to be wiped out before mankind realized what an awful
thing it had discovered. Yet, with a little imagination, this tremendous
power could have been a great advance for civilization.
The uses of atomic power and Its potential for future generations
are only starting to be discovered. Atomic power plants to supply
energy for electricity are, right now, technologically possible. Yet,
understandably so, people are afraid of It. The nnly way in which
they are acquainted with atomic power is mass destruction. Atomic
power can be the means to a tremendous betterment o( humanity,
yet it can also destroy it. Only we can decide which it will be.
Culturally, the effect of science has been the cause of more
leisure time than ever before in history. In ten years the average
work week will probably be around 30 hours. This can be a great
contribution to culture. But It will destroy us unless we develop
a leisure ethic. The work ethic has been responsible for Amerlca's
rise to power economically and, thus, militarily. But the ethic is
gelling old.
An ethic of leisure must be developed. Man must learn how
to use his time in a manner beneficial to mankind. The work
ethic will drive men crazy when they have no work to do. The
potential for a truly great culture is at our finger tips because
science and technology have provided leisure. Man had to aim this
development towards the cultural benefit of all.
Morally, science has provided contraceptives, abortive pills,
and surgical means to prevent birth. OverpopUlation is a problem
and will not become a smaller problem as time goes by, no matter
what the optimists say. Something has to be done. The problem
now is not urgent, but it will be. Possibly, there are alternative
means. Science has also provided Ihls. At this very moment it is
technologically possible to build an Atlantis on the continental
shelves. This is a great future possibility. But If birth control is
to be adopted, then it is up to each individual to be sure that it
doesn't ruin him. The abuses 01 something like this are manifold.
Yet, it may become necessary and man must start now to prepare
himself spiritually to meet the challenge of birth control.
Mankind is at a crossroads. He can destroy himself, or help
himself. Science should be encouraged not only for lunar explora·
lion but for more immediate benefits as well. The danger is in
misusing the ~ponsibility science can put in our hands.

What with all the recent
clamor over the big-band revival,
the name Buddy Rich has
become something of a standardized
relerence. Nob od y
really felt that Rich w~ seriou~
about forming a big-band:
disregarding the economical
fiasco that big-bands inevitably
become, there was also the
question o( the drummer's
health (4 heart seizures since
1957), and his age (47). How.
ever, even In the midst of
speculation and personnel con·
fusion, bookings were contracted
and In september Rich
hit New YOI'k - and 1 do mean
hit. ProCessional music critics
were absolutely taken aback by
the freshest. drivingcst, most
rlynamic new set of arrangements
since Kenton scored witn
the Balboa Band.
J, myself, finally had the opportunity
to sec Rich live at the
Kimbell Towers in Springfield,
Mass., one of the few instances
in which I got the front row
table I had requested. As a
matter of fact, the table was so
"front roW' that it could easily
hawl been mistaken for the
Music
Buddy Rich,
tht" positive orientation towards
reality which lies at the
basis of Christianity!" Alter
Ihls he goes into a pretentiously
intellectualized pnsentation of
his reasons for disbelief in this
"positive orientation", and then
suddenly makes the wife a
startling proposition: become
the family whore. The most
amazing thing of all is that she
aCC4'pts, and in so doing, becomes
the family's absolute mi;;·
tress in e\'ery respect.
A lascinating proposition lies
behind this situation: how
would people act if the religious
values and social conventions
which lie at the base of traditional
mores were disallowed?
The propo.,ition is dramatically
concluded in terms of viseral
primiti\'eness.
Mr. Pinter's technical method
in this play is variation of the
drawing room comedy formula.
The characters move through
Noel Coward type situations
like Neanderthal men to a
great ellect, for the play is
about the breakdown of all the
conventions that polished comedy
(and the type of society
which produces III stands for.
The play's ma)or flaw is
Pinter's usual one, namely that
his works do not always have
a foundation of dramatic substance
beneath their technical
Imagination. The brilliance of
'The Homecoming's" method is
immediately apparent: its central
situation Is not vitally con·
sidercd until about halfway
through the play.
The Royal Shakespeare Company's
production of the play
is superb.
Despite ftaws, 'The Homecoming"
Is one of the best and
mol!It provoeati\'e plays of the
season.

The CI'UX of the dilemma 011
eo-education, it seems. revolves
alJout three basic questions:
tlrst, would co-.
education prove
to be a real intellectual
asset:
secondly, could
it manifest it_
self as actually
be i n g socially
beneficial; and
ultimately, most important, is
Fairtleld even ready for co-education?
Regar.ding the possibility of
intellectual impl'ovement, as
proposed by the first question,
it seems rather doubtful that
the mere prescnce of female
students would be either a nec*
essary or sufficient intellectual
stimulus on campus. With the
female populace of this CflmpUj;
vastly in the minority, it would
be all but impossible to creale
a balanced classroom ratio. The
few girls present in each class
would probably incur the stares
and not the questions of the
male students. Discussion might
'be evoked by their presence but
probably "ot on classroom rnalerials
as envisaged by most
professors.

I am opposed to the idea of

actions on and

would liven
c I ass discussions
by the
presence of
womanly perspectives;
and it
might even arousc the competitive
spirit of not being outdone
by the "weaker sex:' Improvements?
Ycs, But changes which
1 believe would be of no great
significance but would disrupl
the overall atmosphere and spirit
on an all male eampus,
A co-cd campus tends to 1>C'come
a socially closed community.
Academically, I don't think
women in class would bother
me or many other students, but
I do f~1 that the atmosphere
of ftudying outside the classroom
would be greatly affected,
Thi.!o was one of tI}1' prime reasons
why I chose an all male
school.
[ believe, then, that the improvements
brought a'bout by
eo-education do not outweigh
its bad effects and therefore
they do not merit change,

Albert Cryan '68
The topic of conversation this
week has centered on the value
of eo-education at Ibis university.
It appearsr-from
student'
chit - chat and
the STAG Questionnaire
ttl a t
we must con·
tend with a central
issue; Will
the influx of
co-cds improve the temperament
of this school both socially
and academically?
While one could hesitate to
insure an immediate and corresponding
improvement to the
"stag" atmosphere as a natural
consequence the presence of females
on he campus and in he
classrooms, it would be unjust
to assume that the male student
could not adjust to such
a change in a mature and adult
manner.
There is no reason lo view
an improved social atmosphere
as detrimental to ocr academic
life. ]f a girl can gain admit,
tance to Fairfield on the same
competitive basis, why then,
should we expect an intellectual
slump? R1lther this is the
challenge and problem for the
faculty and !he administration,
for they must expand current
teaching programs and utilize
and channel the opportunities
brought about by a co-ed environment
for the benefit of the
entire student body. • • •

XTin was betrothed to Nyam. He had asked XTin to become
his wife some two months before and was now taking her to meet
his family. Nyam came {rom the small village of Chi-Lau localed
:;omc twelve miles north of Hanoi. He had traveled to lhe central
plains of North Vietnam in search for work in the riCe fields. Il
was here he met XTin. A young girl of seventeen, XTin had been
raised as a strict Buddhist by her parents anrl had nevel' been
mon~ than ten miles away (rom home. The capitol of Hanoi was
45 miles 10 the north-cast and complelely foreign to her cl"pcriencc.
By George Deren
Their courtship began slowly at first. It was necessary for
Nyam to ask permission of her parents and to bear small girts to
compensate for the privilege of seeing their daughter, Of course,
there wasn't much to do oncl' they were able to date. They would
talk for hours and when, late at night, the !Ii!' was l'ompletely
:,lUll they would look to the north, hcar the thundel' of guns, and
sec the glow of light around Hanoi, a city XTin had never visited,
But that was to end. After J'eceiving permission to take XTin to
meet his parents, he promised to take her thmugh Hanoi.
One morning, before dawn, after fal'ewclls, tears, and warnings
to be careful, -they left XTin's village and headed north.
"XTin," Nyam bcgan, "wait lill you sec the de\'astation inllictcd
upon our capital. The planes have been flying night and day and
many of thc houses have been gutted by American bombs. Now
the Army patrols the city to guard against sabotage and to aid
the injured civilians, The best thing they could do would be to go
to the south and kill the Americans. Let the women and children
take care of the sick and injured:'
XTin looked to the cast where the sun was coming up over
the South China Sea and slowly immersing the villages and fields
of her fellow peasants in a golden bath of light. What a beautiful
day she thought, trying subconsciously to avoid a discussion with
Nyam. She was happy inside and was afraid that clouds would
appear to cover the warmth of the sun.
Nyam grew visibly upset. "XTin," he asked, "why arc you
so quiet? Arc you not pleased to visit my parents?" Distressed,
XTin answered, "Please do not say that Nyarn, 1 am very happy
to go with you, However, it's just 'that you have . , , have
changed. You are not the same man 1 grew to love. When we
worked side by side in the rice fields 1 was happy because you
were there with me. In Iho!>C days there was no war or devasta·
tion. Things were as they should be now. AU was pcace, and after
your pmposal 1 longed for the day when we would be one. 1 still
love you, Nyam, but in a different way. 11 is a deeper and more
intense feeling I now have for you. 1 begin to see you in relation
to other things 1 have held close to my heart. But you have become
unapl"'oachable and difficult to be with. You have put too
many obstacles in the path of our love. Your talk is constantly
of death and war and how many planes were shot down today.
My love is still there - that hasn't changed. Your senses have
g-rown numb and your heart has turned to stone, However, 1 sh<lJl
not give up and return thc dowry. Eventually our bond will be
established as man and wife. U 1 cannot give my love to you then
1 cannot save myself."
"lo"ool:' he murmured under his breath. "A foreign army has
om.."C again invaded our land. They must be cxpeUed just as the
French wcrc expelled." "No, Nyam, 1 shall not agrce with you, I
have seen the face of Buddha change from the tranquillity of
peace to the pain of frustration." "How have you seen that," he
intel'rupted, half in jest. "Through you, Nyam," XTin gently rc.
Illied, "I have secn Him through you,"
Nyam, flushed with anger, stepped up his pace as if trying to
escape from his shadow.
Reaching the peripheral area of Hanoi, they were confronted
with endless streams of refugees leaving the city (or the security
of the countryside.
JUst then the scream of an air·raid siren began and with it
came the sound of apl>roaching jet engines. They whined overhead
and went not more than a mile before releasing the first bombs.
XTin and Nyam began to race for a tunnel shelter some 2QO yards
away. Twenty feet short of the tunnel, they werc knocked to the
ground by the force of a large bomb which fell neariby. I't seemed
to Nyam like an eternity of heat and dirt. He started to rise, cut
Oil the back and arms but at least able to walk. But XTin lay
still. He knelt down and pulled her into his arms, "XTin, XTin."
he c!'led, "please do not die. 1 need you." She opened her l'yes
slowly and soHly and despite the pain looked at Nyam with a
smill'.
"Please, Nyam, do not cry for me. I shaH die and there is
nothing anyone can do to save me," A thin stream of blood began
to trickle from her mouth and run on to the new blue suit her
mother had made for this journey. The pain became more intense
now and she began to convulse slightly. "There's one thing I want
you to remember, Nyam. One thing I want to tell you before r
die," she whispered. She used the last bit of slrength she had to
reach his car so as to speak her last words. "Always remember,
Nyam, always remember, . , I love youl" But Nyam could not
hear XTin, Her voice was drQwned out by the roar of th~ bombs.
