Robert Crowe rebutted the

"Webster defines 'disaster' as a
great misfortune - are girls a
misfortune?" He agreed that
"4:1 is a poor ratio, but what
about 4:01" The pro speaker
also stated that Mr. Petry
strongly favors coeducation, and
he also noted Dr. Dorothy
Shafer, a female member of the
faculty, as a supporter.
The problem of how regula­lions
would be affected was con·
sldcred, and, alsl,), the possibil­ity
of psychological barriers in
class participation.
In closing, Jack Mara re­vealed
to the 40 member audi·

was how WiUlam O'Brien sum·

d~ussed in the tlrst "Sit 'n'

The Eve of Destruction?" He
contended that the introduction

Mr. O'Brien concluded,
explaining that coeducation is
only a device to correct the

In reply to this view, John
Carberry posed the question,
"How can you have meaningful
discussions on abortion, mar­riage,

He added that women think
differently and would provide a

Socially the all-male school is

by the weekend exodus. Also,

However, as I saJei. Director
Coppola'S technIcal and visual
elIects arc very good. To begin
with, New York City, where all
the action takes place, is a
Garden of Eden for a good
photographer with a color cam·
era. Some of Coppola'S scenes,
such as kites in central park,
or Times Square at night, are
downright inspiring, Also some
of his gags are original and
funny, but almost always in di­rect
ratio to their distance from
the' story line. I wUl not deny
that the film has iu. moments
and. wou.ld recommend It for
these, if the remainder was just
non-oJIensive second·rate cin­ema.
Unfortunately that reo

By lohn Bek\)'
April 12, 1967
Since the inception of Fall"field University, students in all
majors, except pre-med, have been selecting courses in their
major field without any direction or aim in their choice, The stu­dent
who intends to go to graduate school has never been advised
as to what courses arc necessary for entrance into graduate
school, unless he goes to a faculty member on his own initiative,
Often this initiative comes too late and there is nothing the stu­dent
can do to repair the damage done by ha\'ing selected the
wrong courses, Often, too, a student doesn't decide to go to grad­uate
school until the middle of junior year, when it's' too late.
This situation is detrimental to the student because many things
can happen in the course of a year to make him change his goal6.
If something happens to make him want to go to graduate school,
there's nothing he can do about It.
The English Department has taken the initiative to correct
this situation, and for this they should be highly praised. Every
English major must select an advisor and this advisor must ap­prove
the student's selc<:tion of courses, or the student can't regis·
ter. There are two coursC6 open to each student. One is to follow
a core curriculum, geared to prepare the student for graduat'~
school. The other is to follow an open elective course, whcreby
the student just takes what ,he likes, But the important thing is
that the student doesn't make this decision alone, The English
Department has realized the importance of this decision and has
olTered every possihle help to make it easier for the student to
make a wise decision. By consulting with an advisor, the student
is assured that he has made the best decision possible.
This system is I'evolulionary to the curriculum at Fairfield
University. It allows for those that want to go to graduate school,
those who don't, and those who aren't sure. It is done completely
in the best interest of the student and shows an Interest in his
life. If this new system would be adoptcd by all departments, it
could go far in improving the student-teacher relationship. For
too long, certain teachcrs have been making the supreme elTort
never to get to know their students, The purpose of a university
is to edll....atc those who attend it. Education does not take place
only in a classroom. A much larger part of it takes place outside.
It is clep10rable that you should meet a teacher whom you've had
for a whole semester and have him look at you as if he had never
seen you before in his life, It is about time that this situation be
brought to ;:Ill abl"tlpt end. If the individual departments do not
take the initiative to institute some similar system, then the ad·
ministration ought to force them. This is a system whieh benefits
the student in every way. I heartily congratulate Dr. Farnham
and the rest of the English Deparbnent for the Interest that they
have taken in their students and for the precedent which I hope
they have set,
THE STAG
By Paul Kernezlll
Starting with "Tom Jones"
the English have produced a
number of fine comedies which
when lumped together go by
the name "new wave." In this
group are the Beatles' movies,
"The Knack", "Allie", and
"Georgy Girl", They arc aU
good films for two main rea·
sons: 1) r.efreshlng camera gim­mickry,
and 2) messages and
humor that are both relevant
and credible, due either to in­telUgent
cliche breaking or
complete avoidance of cliches.
A young American director,
Francis Ford Coppola, has tried
to get into the act with his
"You're a Big Boy Now" and
has failed. The problem is not
his technical imagination, which
at times equals that of the
British, but his inability to
escape from stock American
situaUons. His plot, humor, and
ethics were all worn out long
ago. By saying nothing which
in a 1960's context is worth
saying, Mr. Coppola keeps his
intellectual virginity intact.
"You're a Big Boy Now" con­cerns
a wormy little 21 year
old who must break out into
the world of responsibility and
sex. Even with that scant in­formation
the other characters
arc not hard to guess , , . the

opportunity for a million funny
bits which keep the show rolling

The creators of "Sherry !", the new musical comedy now at the Alvin Theatre
on West F'ifty Second SU'eet, have done a very wise thing. They have kept their
show very close to the delightful comedy on which it is based, "The Man Who
Came to Dinner." The result is ·a bouncy, witty musical, which is at times, as the

Generally spae.king, there are
two attributes that make a
good bridge player: ability to
play the cards well and proper
bidding, The former seems to
come through experience and a
vague, innate sort of talent
called "card sense." The latter
may be gained only by a whole­hearted
effort to commit your
chosen system to memory and
never deviate from it. (This
column seldomly uses anything
but ~ren's American system).
This particular column will ak
tempt to illustrate the impor­tance
of good bidding.
South holds a perfect point
count for a no trump opening
but realizes his hand is far
from ideally distributed for
such a bid. One club is his
proper bid. After West's pass

April ]5 another anti-Vlet War demonstration is to take place.
The House Committee on Un-American Activities states in their
report concerning this demonstration that it "is completely com­munist
in origin," This Is a startling statement by the Congress
to forw-ard. It seems likl" either leftover MaCarthyism or a deep
concern for the welfare and security of our nation (the either-or
naturally depends on what side of the waU you place yourseU).
Obviously, I would like to consider the conunittee (whether the
new left thinks it Is needed or not) as acting In the best interest
of our country and not as some fascist plot. But it's not my aim
to defend this committee; I wish to do nothing more than attempt
to overcome (just enough the open-mindedness of the young
liberal to ask him to consider sincerely what this demonstration
means in light of what the committee investigation has revealed..
The report reads after its initial blunt statement: "By careful
selection of a limited Hst of national sponsors, a deliberate effort
has been made in the printed call to Vietnam Week to conceal
the major role the Conununlsts have played - and are playing ­in
organizing and promoting the project.
"Dr, Martin Luther King's agreement to play a leading role
in the April 15 demonstration in New York City. and his freeing
of the Rev. James Bevel from his key position in the Southern
Leadership Conference to head the Spring Mobilization Committee
(one of the groups planning the demonstration) are evidence that
the Communists have succeeded, at least partially, in implement­ing
their strategy of fusing the Vietnam and civil rights issues In
order to strengthen their chances of bringing about a general re-­\'
ersal of U.S. policy in Vietnam:
"The world wide publicity which will be given the demon­stration
by the Communist propaganda machine will ha\'e thI'e('
maj<r effecb. It will:
"Give aid and comfort to Communis", everywhere, parlicularly
in Vietnam,
'"Tend to create the false Impression, among non.(;ommunists.
lhat a large segment ot U.S. population Is vehemently opposed to
this country's polky in Vietnam.
"And U.S. leaders will he [aced with the ever grealer d'fIi·
culties in convincing our allies of the correctness of this nation'..;
policy in Vietnam."
In a roreward to the report, Rep. Edwin Willis (Dem,), chair·
man of the committee, emphasized that. his committee encourage­honest
and responsible di~nt from American IlOlIcy by patrioti-:
Americans loyal to the principles of this government. But, he
said. the activities planned for the week of April 8, especially thc
demonstration on the 15th. "aN! not tme and honest dissent," but
deliberate deception, methodically employed to advance the world
Conununist movement: is not dissent. but conspiracy • . . It is
not debate, but a tricky, underhanded attempt to manipulatE pub­lic
opinion and !<tifle full and open debate - by pressure tactics.
"We must not permit Communist propaganda trickery to ob­scure
the difference betwccn legitimate dissent and betrayal."
What is said by the committee is \'CI')' streng, but only so
because or their deep concern for the situation which this demon­stration
forwards for Communist propaganda and in relation to
the seeming unification of the civl1 rights movement and the antl­Vietnam
trouble.
But my greatest WOIT)', which is much more applicable to our
situation in this University. is that under the auspices of a tri­university
plan, some of our students will be shipped to this rally.
I realize all too well from what I read In Wbeae\'er POMible that
christianity is intrinsically dedlcated to the anti·war movement
and that if O1rist were here today that be would lead the parade.
But I can't believe. no matter how much re·evaluation the new
left gives to christianity, that it 111 Unldng itself with the further­ing
of Conununist propaganda agaJnst tbelr 0\IVJl country, their
own beliefs. I, of all people, don't want to stifle dIsSent from the
Vietnam conflict. It is what I thrive on. But I don't want to have
a dissent that fuses the clvil rights movement with the anti-VIet
one and which is called by a representing organism a betrayal to
ourselves. I realize that you In the new left love parades. But in
this case, consider 10 what circus you are buying a ticket.

Karate, on the other hand, is
not only a method of self de­fense

healthful physical activity. Like
judo, it is an art form and an
extremely rough competitive
sport. Because of the abnost

One of the highlights 01 this
year's spring sports schedule at
Fairfield is the Rugby Club's
trip to Penn State to play the
Nlttany Lions as part of State's
Homecoming weekend. This
long trip Involved many diffi­culties,
but the man who solved
those difficultie; and made the
journey possible Is Rugby Club
PresIdent Bart Franey.
In addition to presiding at
the club's meetings, providing
transportation to and from the
games, helping select the week's
players and arranging the Rug­gers'
larned post-game victory
parties, "Gentleman Bart," as
he is sometimes called, is a
standout in the second raw
serum, where he exhibits his
noted leaping ability and ago
gresslveness.
Bart possesses a vast knowl·
edge of the finer points of rugby,
which he Is always willing to
demonstrate to the younger
players. He can orten be seen
vigorously relereeing the fierce
action at the rugby field by the
pond.
Unfortunately, Bart has al·
ways been injury·prone. This
season he was inOicted with a
broken nose, but he has made
a rapid recovery and is now
ready for action again.
Bart has also exhibited his
versatility in an amazing num­ber
of school aetivitles. He was
in charge of the Freshman
Orientatlon Week for the Class
of 1969, and was class secretary
in his sophomore year. He has
also served as Social Chainnan
in the Student Government.
WhJle a freshman, he starred in
the dramatic production of "The
Caine Mutiny." Bart has shown
his football talent playing lor
McPee.ke's Raiders, and he is
also an avid skier.
