Anti-War Sentiment Stirs
March and Passive Vigil
By William Luddy and Michael Morrissey
Approximately 100 students
from the Tri-Universities, in­cluding
about 40 Fairfield stu­dents
participated in the March
for Peace sponsored by the
Spring Mobilization Committee
last Saturday. This was the
largest anti-war demonstration
in the United States to date.
On Wednesday, at Fairfield
James DeFronzo displays peace symbol in Wednesday's vigil.
University, fifty-two students
took part in a :silent Vigil for
Peace to stir up interest in
the New York parade, and to
protest the war. The demon­stration
began at 3:30 when
thirty-five students gathered on
the grass between Gonzaga Hall
and the Campus Center park­ing
lot, sitting · in a circle ·
around a large painted sign
containing the International
Symbol for Peace. As the dem­onstration
proceeded, they were
joined by seventeen others,
making a total of fifty-two
taking part in the vigil. Forty­seven
students were present
when the marchers joined hands
and walked to the center of the
circle at the end of the vigil
at 4:30.
Vigil Opposition
Two groups of about a half
dozen students each clearly op­posed
the vigil. One group
formed a color guard with an
American flag, and another
group held a large sign read­ing,
"Gonzaga supports our
boys in Vietnam." Students
also played recorded music from
the windows of Gonzaga Hall,
most of which consisted o{ pa-

Short, ned'
!Orientation Week for the
Class of 1971 will be r e-organ­ized,
utilizing a shorter period
of time, while still retaining
all the aspects of the traditional
Orientation Week ot Fairfield.
This was recently announced
:by Fred Heissenbuttel and Bill
O'Malley, Chairman and As­sistant
Chairman of the week.
Fourteen Chairmen for the
various events have been ap­pointed.
They are: Bill Brennan: Man­hattanville
Day, Tom iRoss :
Friday night mixer, Mike Jan­sen:
Seminars, Steve Carre:
Field Day, Ed Williarps: Orien­tation
Sports, Brian Malone :
Stag Night, Don Fields : Open­ing

and Discussion Groups, Bob
Goodman: Reg-istration and
fees, Barney Monks : Activities
Display, Frank Olah: Testing,
Nello Trevison: Financial, Jay
Critchley: Manhattanville Mix­er,
Phil Keane: Provisions.
These fourteen men in turn
will pick their committees
from the 93 Sophomores who
have thus far signed up. All
Sophomores who haven't signed
up as yet are urged to do so
sometime in the near future in
Fr. Murphy's office in the gym.
The Class of 1971 will arrive
on Thursday, Sept. 14th. The
week will run from then until
the following Tuesday night.
Classes for all will begin
. Wednesday, Sept. 20th.
The week will contain all the
events that it has in past years,
however they will be tightened
and combined in order to im­prove
the week by eliminating
the long afternoons and even­ings
which were difficult to fill .
On the subject of co-institu­tional
education at Fairfield
58%. of the studel)ts voted i~
favor as 370 rejected the pro­posaL
For those in favor of
coeducation 64.4% of them said
that they would favor co-in­stitutional.
Opinions Reversed
65.46% of Fairfield students
who voted in the Student Gov­ernment
poll are opposed to
coeducation at the University,
and of those in favor of coedu­cation
48.6% reversed their
opm10n if female academic
standards for admission we~e
higher than those for males;
48.3% negated their position if
female students remained strict­ly
off campus. The highest per­centage
for a male female ratio
was 41.1% for 50-50.
According to the Student
Government poll 54.7% of those
who voted concluded that Fair­field's'
being an all male Uni­versity
was a major factor in
deciding to attend the school.
In response to the question
would Fairfield's becoming co­educational
influence y o u r
recommendation of it favorably,
62.9% voted that it would not.
16.1% reported that they would
transfer from Fair'fleld if it
became coeducational.
Fr. Mcinnes Interviewed
"The student vote counts a
great deal. It is one of the ma­jor
determining factors," re­lated
Fr. Mcinnes in a STAG
interview. In regard to the
recent coeducation poll held by
the s ·tudent Government, Fr.
Mcinnes stated that, "It helped
to crystalize opinions, and I was
very impressed by it."
Asking the President which
side he favored, Fr. Mcinnes
responded, "I am ready to go
either way. We will try to do
what is best for the largest
number of people, faculty, stu·
dents, and administration."
Deadli,ne
P etitions for class officers and Student Government posi·
tlons will be accepted until 12 o'clock tonight in Loyola 111.
Dates for the upcoming elections have been announced by
Robert Carpenter, Chairman of the Elections Committee.
Primary elections are set for April 26, while general elections
will be held on May 3.
All candidates must be free of academic deficiency. They
must all be Fairfield University students for two consecutive
semesters prior to election.
Campaigns may begin as soon as nominations are closed.
Page Two THE STAG April 19, 1967
Consider Us First
After months of deliberation,
the student body has decisively
rejected coeducation. The ulti­mate
decision will be made by
the Board of Trustees at their
May 12 meeting. We strongly
urge that the student view be
given its . proper weight and con­sideration;
the students are the
ones most deeply affected by such
a change.
The student decision was for­Inulated
after complete examina­tion
and discussion of all per­tinent
issues. It was not a hasty,
emotional response. In fact, the
investigation proved so extensive
that, for weeks before the ref­erend
urn, d~bates and dialogues
could only rehash old and well­known
arguments.
The turnout for the election
definitely indicates. the student
concern and involvement in the
issue. On. a campus continually
accused of having a ghetto men-tality
and of demonstrating in­tolerable
apathy, more than two­thirds
of the student body ex­pressed
their opinions at the polls.
This rejection demonstrates a
truly representative and official
view.
In its deliberations, the Board
of Trustees will surely consider
the alternate proposal of co-in­stitutional
education. In post-elec­tion
investigation, the STAG has
discovered considerable confusion
.on this issue. Because of the an1-
biguity of the word~ing on the bal­lot,
many voted for this proposal
without knowing what this ques­tion
meant. Thus it is impossible
to judge that 58o/0 of the voters
would favor co-institutional ed­ucation;
A further clarification is
necessary.
The two-to-one rejection of co­education
must be viewed as a
true crystallization of student
opinion.
Letters To The Editor
Poor Image
To the Editor: .
There was an article in your school
p<'l})er, the April 5th edition I think, that
. one of the ,girls at school brought to my
attention. I hope you've seen the item
I'm . talking about. If you haven't, it
concerns the Student Government ruling
about the Molloy weekend. For the most
part the incident has been forgotten by
all. Our Dean of Students frowns at the
mention of Fairoeld, while most mem­bers
of Social Committee veto all plans
to attend any of your functions.
While the incident has been forgotten,
the type of "boys" frorri Fairfield haven't.
It may have · gone on like that until the
next meeting we would have, and most
of the views would be changed. Too bad
it would have to go on like that. But
when the word went out and copies of
your paper's article were read, it
closed every one's ideas of the Fair­field
"men". You see, many of the girls
were on that weekend, and they knew
what happened for the most part. Per­haps
some of them could have been at
the Student Court ruling and given an­other
side to the rosy picture presented.
I find it hard to believe that an intelli-
- gent group-who must have been listening
at the meeting didn't once think of a
. common courtesy - once . you register
:or check in at a motel or resort, one
usually checks out at the desk they
signed in at.
· But as I said, ahnost everyone has
forgotten about the incident. The bills
have been covered and names and faces
forgotten. Only the impressions are left.
I am only sorry that it is Fairfield.
Sincerely
Pat Healy, Chainnan
Thank You
To the Editor:
I would like · to take this opportunity
to congratulate and thank all those of
the class of 1969 who worked so hard
and contdbuted so much to make
Parents' Weekend the fine success whi·ch
I feel it was. I would particularly like
to thank co-chairmen Don Fields and ·
Bill O'Malley as well as Jeff Patrissi,
N ello Trevison, Peter Daniels and Dale
Swanson who comprised the core of the
committee. My thanks also go out to
the many workers without whom the
whole weekend would have •been impos­sible.
Through the efforts of these men ·
Fairfield University has had initiated
a fine, new tradition of which the class
of 1969 may be especially proud.
Peter Burke
Traitors
To the Editor:
Fairfield · University witnessed recent­ly
a most controversial event. I refer,
of course, to the peace vigil. As many
of those persons sitting beneath the sign
of peace said, the vigil was held to alert
students to the necessity to ponder the
possibility of courses of action other
than nonchalant escalation.
They have been ·called traitors. But,
it seems to me, when we do support the
boys whether they are right or wrong, ·
as the spokesman for the counter-dem­onstrators
exhorted, and when we do
believe that the progress of America
should be our prime ethic in . interna­tional
affairs, as one student said, then
I think that our national conscience has
been numbed, and indeed we have been
betrayed.
Sincerely,
John D. Boland
Why No Liquor?
To the Editor:
Fairfield University's initial Parents'
Weekend turned out to be a fine suc­cess.
However, there was an incident,
or perhaps it would be more appropriate
to say a lack of an incident, which
marred the weekend from achieving a
greater success. The absence of alcho­holic
beverages was conspicuous to all ·
present at the dance on Saturday night.
Several parents asked me why liquor
was banned · from the Campus Center.
I could not give them an answer for I,
too, was puzzled by the situation. Pos­sibly
the person or persons responsible
felt that an abstinence from alcohol for
mortification would add a greater spiri­tual
air to the weekend.
I don't mean to be facetious towards
the administration because they did play
an important role in the success of the
weekend. Nevertheless, perhaps a little
more foresight on their part and Par­ents'
Weekend may become an integral
part of Fairfield's Tradition.
Respectively,
Robert Goodman, '69
Dr. Arrowsmith Th Speak
Scholar, writer and lecturer
William Arrowsmith, a strong
critic of educational practices,
especially in the humanities,
will speak on "The Obsolescent
Humanities" at a Bellarmine
lecture on Tuesday, April 25.
His talk will be held in Gonzaga
Auditorium at 8 p.m.
New Approach
Dr. Arrowsmith, classics pro­fessor
and University Professor
in arts and letters at the Uni­versity
of Texas, has been
lauded for his new approach in
teaching the classics and has
been cited in many national
magazine articles. He . is pres­ently
serving as a Fellow at
\V1esleyan University's Center
for Advanced Studies.
Quoted in a Time magazine
article (Oct. 28, 1966) on his
philosophy, the Professor said
that "the aim of education
ought to be the molding of men
rather than the production of
lmowledge." He contends, con­tinued
the article, that students
yearn to "become civilized men
instead of scholars," but after
four years they feel they are
not humanely educated. They
go on to graduate school, he
stated, where they are "pro­cessed
as professors'' whose aim
is "to know rather than be."
Many Awards
The controversial educator,
Dr. William Arrowsmith
who has three degrees from
Princeton and one from Ox­ford,
had a Guggenheim Fel­lowship
in 1957-58; a PriX de
Rome senior research fellow­ship
at the American Academy
in Rome, 1956-57; Bollingen
Fellowship, also in 1956-57;
Rhodes Scholarship, 1948-51;
and a Woodrow Wilson F•ellow­ship
in 194 7-48.
In 1964-65, Dr. Arrowsmith
was one of nine scholars who
participated in the Visiting
Scholar Program of the United
Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa
and in 1966 he was named a
Minnie Stevens Piper Professor.

The Law of Diminishing Retu.rns
No one will deny that a college
education is well worth the cost.
However, after a three-dollar
raise in linen charges and the
initiation of a ten-dollar "deposit"
Savoy is still handing out d~irty
and torn linen that isn't quite as
long as the bed. And, as if cutting
an hour and a half off the time
for exchanging soiled linen (for
soiled linen) wasn't enough,
they've also cut six inches off the
towels.

Austrian· ·Ambassador Speaks
On · Peaceful ·.Uses
By l\'Iikle Collins
"The necessary hmnan and
material resources were only
made available after the goals
to be achieved in outer space
had found the support of the
political and military planners
of the great nations." This was
what Dr. Kurt Waldheim, per- .
manent representative of Aus­tria
to the UN and Chainnan
of the UN's Committee on the
Peaceful Uses of Outer Space,
cited as the major factor in
r ecent development in space re­search.
Delivering a Bellarmine lec­ture
entitled "Outer Space and
the Future of Man" to an au­dience
of about fifty, he added
that the competition between
the leading space powers has
threatened the possibility of re­serving
outer space for peaceful
purposes.
Internationl Treaty
However, since the great
powers have recognized the
dangers of the use of outer
space and celestial bodies for
military purposes, the UN last
year succeeded in obtaining an
international treaty, prohibiting
the .placing in orbit around the
earth of any objects carrying
nuclear weapons or any other
weapons of mass destruction.
It further provides that such
weapons shall not be installed
on celestial bodies or stationed
in outer space in any other
manner. But "this treaty is
only a first step and · much
remains to be done . . . it
does not preclude military oper­ations
in outer space."
Competition among the lead­ing
space powers has slowed
down, he pointed out, and they
are more and more inclined to
Board Approved
By Legislature
By Benoit Poisson
Chief Justice William Dunn
opened the first session of the
new legislature recently by
swearing in the new members.
The foremost task of approving
appointments and electing of­ficers
within the body was the
first order of business.
Board Approved
The president's candidates for
the executive board were all ap·
proved unanimously after Mr.
Bocchini explained his choices
and answered questions from
the floor. His further appoint­ments
of Chief Justice, William
Dunn, and Attorney General,
John Gilsenen, were also ac·
cepted by the legislative body.
The next order of business was
the election of positions within
the body itself. Mark Galligan
was returned to the position of
parlimentarian and Philip Howe
was given the secretary posi­tion
with overwhelming sup·
port.
to the post of Majority leader
for the coming session. The im­portant
position of organizing
debate for the opposition was
given to Lawrence Czajkowski.
His experience in the legisla­ture
and his knowledge of the
Fairfield Student Government
were dted in the debate before
the close vote.
New business was called for
and a number of bills were
filed. One seeking the creation
of a second-hand book store
was proposed by Frank Man­danieL

think about the practical ap­plications
of outer space.
In stating how this would
affect daily life, Dr. Waldheim
quoted the famous Nobel Prize
Winner Van Allen, discoverer
of the Van Allen Radioactive
Belts around our planet, who
replied to a question about
their use: "I make a living out
of them.'' Millions will make a
living out of space with an in­creasing
demand for scientists,
engineers, and technically skill­ed
workers.
Communication
A major use is communica­tion,
Telstar I was able to
handle nearly a thousand simul­taneous
telephone conversa­tions,
whereas the transatlantic
cable which JVent into opera­tion
in 1956 provided only S6
static-free telephone circuits.
Also, live transatlantic 'tele­vision
transmission is made pos­sible
by the communication
satellite, which will also en­able
a world TV network to be
est~blished.
Another important field of ap­plication
is the use of satel­lites
for the purpose of weather
observation. Forecasting of
hurricanes far out at sea would
be made possible and "scien­tists
will at last be able to
concert forecasting from an art
into a science with great pre­cision."
Practical Applications
Still another field of appli­cation
is the use of satelites for
transcontinental and transoce­anic
navigation by air and sea.
These are just some of the
practical applications of outer
space development.
Dr. Waldeim also noted that
the small nations can and do
contribute significantly to the
field of space, even though they
themselves cannot afford an
independent prn14ram.
"The United Nations, by
stressing the paramount impor­tance
of cooperation, is thus
working in the interest of all
of us with a view to ensure that
. the great ·hopes of mankind in
its future will be fulfilled," he
explained in conclusion.

Asimov Lecture
Cites A Dilemma
By Peter Hearn
"Science may succeed itself
to death" is the warning that
Dr. Isaac Asimov delivered at
the Bellarmine lecture in Gon­zaga
Auditorium Sunday night.
The renowned author mentioned
this as part of his explanation
of the importance of science
fiction, which he defined as
"that branch of literature which
deals with the response of hu­man
beings to advances in
science and technology."
The growth of science in re­cent
years has been phenomen­al.
"9/10 of all scientists that
ever lived are alive today." The
rate of scientific output, that
is the papers and journals com­piled
by scientists, doubles
every 15 yrs. In other words, in
the next 15 yrs. as many scien­tific
papers will be written as
have been . produced from the
beginning of time until now.
There are presently one hun­dred
thousand scientific journ­als
and this number also dou·
bles every fifteen years.
Dr. Asimov pointed out that,
"no living organism can sur-yive
in its own waste" and that
the waste product of science is
these papers. He feels that sci­ence,
which is now producing
material so fast that it can not
keep up with itself, will soon
drown in its own excretions.
This would be tragic because
any breakdown in our techno­logical
advancement will mean
disaster for millions.
The primary cause of this
dilemma is the tremendous
amount of specialization in the
field of science. Many research­ers
know a lot about one thing,
but not enough about every­thing.
As an example Asimov used
a story written at the end of
the war called Solution Un­satisfactory
which predicted the
nuclear stalemate that exists
today. If world leaders had be­lieved
this story and had taken
steps to prevent it then the
world of today would be quite
different.
His speech was heavily spiced

When questioned about the
place of the Church in the sci­ence
orientated world he ad­mitted
that it was out of his
field of study. However, he re­marked
that, " the church has

to survive by compromising an
amazing number of non-es­sentials."

Flicks 'Africa Addio:' Brutal and Exhausting
By Paul Kemezis
"Stand upon it unshod (the

it keeps men, ~s men,

"Africa Addio" (Africa Fare­well)
is physically exhausting to
sTt through. Its events are dif­ficult
to accept as reality, even
with the foreknowledge that it
is a documentary. And above
all, its impact is impossible to

A sadistic person will go to
''Africa Addio' and enjoy him­self,

But also, being that it is a
documentary made by intelli·

world, a likewise in-telligent
man viewing it should
pick up a number of challeng­ing

treating a very ugly subject by
the use of magnificent intel­lectual
irony, superb visual

employed in "Africa Addio".
The content of the film is
without a doubt brutally ugly.
The theme is, superficially, the
,process by which traditional
colonial Africa is transformed
into the new independent

throughout is the rape, by
men of both white and black

whelming brutality. The docu­mentary
camera frankly re­cords:
riots, reprisals, execu­tions,
battles, massacres, and
the rotting aftermath of all of
these. However, many scenes of
rare beauty are spliced in, main­taining
a skillful aesthetic bal­ance
of direct opposites, and
making the ugliness somehow
bearable .. The continued iron­ies,
brought out by the movie,
are not simply "cute" as some
have called them, nor is the
verbal commentary, although at
times bitter, misleading. Much
of the message is delivered
visually, and the camera work,
at times under fire, is consis­tently
excellent.
"Africa Addio" has been
shredded and scattered to the
winds by a number of African
leaders, the U.N., and many
reviewers who claim that it
distorts the true situation.
These people demand that a
total picture of Africa, which
admittedly the film does not
contain, be shown, or none at
all. This, however, would des­troy
the filmaker's intention.
The theme of "the agony and
death of natural Africa" is
stated quite plainly at the
start, as is the policy of
strictly avoiding partisian pro­paganda.
We are shown during the
film the entire political range
from mau-maus, conununist
Congolese rebels, and black
men, to white South African
bankers and industrialists, and
an international and inter­racial
brigade of mercenaries.
The film, in fact, says that
no political side in Africa is
untainted. It is a film about
the inhumanity of man, and if
anyone infers from it that there
is no such thing as man's
humanity, it is more a case of
· hurt idealist sensitivity, or po­litical
paranoia on their part,
than any deliberate deception
by the film's producers.
I recommend "Africa Addio",
but you must go with an open­mind
and an empty stomach.
Also, I advise that you go alone
so that when it is over you
won't have to talk to anyone
for a while. I guarantee that
the film will start you talking
to yourself.

PKT Fosters Fellowship, Education & Loyalty
By Gerald Sabo
The Conn. Epsilon Kappa Colony of Phi Kappa Theta
International Fraternity, the Catholic social Jraternity,
is confident it will be approved as a new Chapter at this
summer's convention of the fraternity in Washington,
D.C. A seventy-five page docum~nted report on the
Colony's development and activities during the past two
, years has been prepared and distri.lbu ted to the other 7 4
chapters for their consideration and Sunday, November
12, 1967; has been :tentatively set as its official installa­tion
date here.
Fill Human Needs
In 1965, the Bridgeport· Area Klub appointed a com­mittee
to investigate the possibility of establishing one of
the following fraternities at Fairfield: Delta Sigma Phi,
Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Sigma Kappa, and Phi Kappa
Theta. The committee, tmder James Lombard '65, first
determined the v~ue of a fraternity. "Fraternities fill the

With this in mind, · the com-
. mittee, on March 30, 1965 se­lected
Phi Kappa Theta as the
best suited for Faii'Ifield Uni­versity.
Phi Kappa Theta,
founded in 1889, has its nation­al
headquarters in Worcester,
Massachusetts. Its national of­ficer
in charge of all expansion,
Mr. Edward Kirehner, resides
in Stamford, Connecticut. Be­caw;
e of his personal encour­agement
and assistance, the
Fairfield Colony has dedicated
itself in name to Mr. Kirchner
(Epsilon Kappa - E. K. - Ed­ward
Kirchner). The fraternity
urges each chapter to adopt a
well-balanced program in the
spiritual, educational, social and
fraternal areas of college life.
Unusual Cooperation
Above all, Phi Kappa Theta
demcmstrated an unusual co­operation
and assistanc~ to its
incipient colonies. It provides
material such as manuals and
brochures, conducts training
seminars for the charter mem·
bers and ofticers, and arranges
for representatives of a new
group to visit nearby chapters.
Its regional and National offi­cers
visit the campus to assist
the colony at various phases
in lts development; they work
closely with designated admin­Istration
authorities in develop­Ing
the colony. And this same
c~peration and assistance has
immediate communities.
"In recognition of the manner
in which the Fraternity has
conducted its affairs, and the
performance of the individual
memlbers," writes Mr. Robert
Griffin, Director of Student
Services, to Robert Reilly, for­mer
president, "Phi Kappa
Theta will be given full recog­nition
as a Fairfield University
student organization as of Feb­ruary
-1, 1967," two months
prior to the expiration of its
colony-status period.

Something To Say
By John Mullen
/ ' ~ ........ ,,,,,,_ ...... , ......................... ,, .. , .... ,,.,.,
Down the hall, a door opened and loud, blasting music blared
out. A voice from within the room shouted above the noise -
"damn you . . . " and a shuffling of shoes was heard, bodies
crashed against the bureaus, onto the beds and then to the floor.
There followed the grunting, groaning laughter and deep, gasping
breaths . that always accompany these wrestling matches. The
door slammed shut and the racket was muffled but still faintly
audible.
I suddenly became conscious of what I was doing (or what I
was attempting to do) and realized I had been unconsciously
reading the same paragraph over and over like the repeating
sound of a needle stuck on a broken record. This was the last
paragraph. If only I could get through it, I was saying to myself,
and maybe just understand a little of what ... finished! I knew
I had to talk to someone about this before that lousy mood came
back again. I stood up, threw on a jacket and started downstairs.
As I emerged from my room, I began to toss around in my
mind some of the ideas Newman had been speaking about. If the
end of the "Liberal education," I was thinking to myself, is
mainly philosophical, that is, results ln gen~ral ideas, as opposed
to the "useful education" which results in specialization - then
why was I taking . . . A horde of guys stumbled out of the room
which I was just passing and fell to the ground in a mass of
bodies and body odor. They were grasping some guy's arms and
legs. He was intermittently taking deep breaths and screaming
out profanities - at the same time he was kicking frantically.
One of his kicks was unfortunately placed and his victim fell out
of the struggling mob. He was on all fours as I pushed through
the door and descended the steps.
I knocked on my friend's door. I knew that if we could discuss
Newman's ideas about a University, the insights would be in­valuable
to us. We might even be able to relate them to our own
circumstances. The activities of that past week (it had been regis­tration
week) kept running wildly through my head like a night­mare-
"What are you going to be? ... What are you going to
do, huh'? . .. quick ... Graduate School, right? ... courses
. . . mistake, be careful, don't' make a mistake . . . you"re
going to get loused up so bad in that course ... mistake ...
mistake . , . I don't know, please, I don't know ... you should,
you know, you should know .. . " Could Newman be so wrong?
Is he so outdated? Isn't it just possible that all I really want is ·
simply a Liberal education and maybe just take it from there?
The door was locked; he wasn't' there. God, I wanted so had to
talk to somebody about this.
I fell back into the slump. It was a mood that I realized I
had been in for some time then. I had been walking around those
days mostly thinking to myself and looking like someone had
wound the key sticking out of my back and pushed me on my way.
But I realized that for a few short moments there I had risen out
of this. The Liberal education ideas had moved me - stirred me.
I agreed with everything Newman had to say. Then I only had to
apply it to myself. I only had to talk to someone. I only had to
apply it to myself.
As I returned to my room, I heard an argument over a card
game taking place across the hall. It was getting pretty heated
and I wondered if it was going to turn into a . . . But then, one
of the popular noisy songs came over the radio and they all started
to sing along together. A belch bellowed from the room -laughter
followed and the door slammed shut.
I was in my room. I was getting upset. My mind was wander­ing
now and it kept producing thoughts faster and faster. My lips
were moving - giving faint sounds to my thoughts. There was
nobody in the room but I felt as though I was debating and losing.
I"m not g oing to place a dollar sign in front of my degree, I was
thinking to myself, I don't care if it's not practical - has no
· material results. God, I felt like a fool.
The gUY iiving directly above me started bouncing his golf
ball again on his floor whicll was also my ceiling. It made a sharp,
piercing, exact noise - the kind that gives you a sharp, piercing,
instant headache. I could feel my stomach ,contracting. I had
missed dinner. I began to feel very sick but I wasn't scared. It
had all happened before. Then I was very sick. I told myself that
I had to lie down. They had started to argue outside again. They
were yelling now and I think they started pushing one an<;>ther.
I was on my bed. God, please let me go to sleep, I said to
myself. I can't worry about that Liberal stuff now, I thought, but
I was worrying. My head felt like that lousy golf ball. Harder,
harder, piercing, then ... slice! I could feel and smell the droplets
of sweat under my arms now but I still felt cold, real cold and
real empty. The record player noise from next door was blasting
right through my wall and my head. I was so dizzy and so sick
and it wa~ Dylan singing. God, I thought, please, anybody but
Dylan. They say most musk can put you into a deep sleep, Dylan
can pull you right out of one. The pitch of the din was almost
1.mbearable now (I think they were rolling around on the ground
outside my door). But I could hear Dylan distinctly. He was
moaning "Don't' Think Twice - It's All Right." It was all be­Ginning
to mean something to me finally "that long, lonesome
road" and all. I was half asleep. I'll see someone tomorrow about
that Liberal stuff, I said to myself, yes, that's exactly what I'll
clo. But then . . . well. I guess somebody will help . . . maybe,
but . . . but . . . But Don't Think Twice - It's All Right.

triotic songs. At one point,
when the national anthem was
played, all but three of the par­ticipants
stood and sang along
with the record. One student
approached the group ana asked
if the demonstrators were open
to rational discussion, and was
informed that he was welcome
to return at the vigil's end,
but he failed to do so. Through­out
the vigil, there were about
fifty students looking on, most
of whom seemed to ibe non­partisan
spectators.
The New York parade ori­ginated
at Central Park, where
an hour before . the eleven
o'clock assembly time, marchers
jammed all of Sheep's Meadow.
The marchers were assigned
positions according , to groups,
and took their places under
large letters like those seen in
parking lots. Sizeable contin­gents
represented veteran, med­i
c a 1, religious, professional,
academic, _labor, political, stu­dent,
and nationality groups,
housewives, random marchers,
and even a few of the ever­present
"hippies." The parade
proceeded down 59th Street to
Lexington Avenue, across Lex'­ington
to 47th Street, and on
to the United Nations Plaza.
A great many of the spectators
along the line of march ap­plauded
the demonstrators.
The Fairfield contingent
marched in section K, New En­gland
' Students, along with
groups from Holy ·Cross, Bos­ton
College, Harvard, Yale,
U. Conn. Tufts, Marymount,
Manhattanville, New Rochelle
and other schools. Other Jesuit
Universities represented were
Georgetown, St. Peter's, Uni­versity
of Dayton, and Loyola
of Chicago.
Military and Moral Power
The march terminated at the
United Nations, where those
marchers who had reached the
plaza were addressed by Rev.
Martin Luther King, Stokley
Carmichael, and William Pep­per,
head of the Committee of
Responsibility for War Burned
and Injured Children, and sev­eral
other speakers. Dr. King
said that the United States was
the greatest military power in
the world, but that it should
be trying to be the greatest
moral power in the world as
well. The Fairfield students
w e r e unable to hear the
speeches, since their group,
near the middle of the parade
did not reach the United Na­tions
until after five o'clock,
long after the speakers were
finished.
Press reports estimates the
crowd as containing from one
to three hundred thousand peo.:.
ple, and New York police
counters on the scene gave
estimates as high as five hun2
dred thousand.
Two "leafleteers" were inter­viewed
at Central Park before
the march began. A self-de­c
1 a r e d Maoist Communist
stated t h a t "Unfortunately,
this thing has been run by il
bunch of moderates, but that's
not our fault." He said that he
was disappointed that the Com­munists

"make it what it should be.''
Controversial Question

In contras!, a member of · the
John Birch Society stated that
"The vast majority of the peo­ple
marching today are Com­munists,
and they're being paid
by Moscow. Everybody knows
it." A spectator interviewed
along the line of march, when
asked what he thought of the
parade, replied, "Well I'm in
favor of the war right now,

Residence Goal
At present, Epsilon Kappa
Colony has no office on campus
and because of its many ac­tivities,
there is an immediate
need for one. A further, more
natural goal of the future chap­ter
is the establishment of a
permanent residence. The resi­dence
would probably be off­campus
as no fraternity resi­dence
is likely to be incorpor·
ated in the master plan, and
then some distance from the

Royal Rhodes, Editor/Chair­man
of Frontiers,- the Fairfield
literary magazine, has an­nounced
recently that the pro­jected
publication date of the
magazine's spring issue has
been set for the end of April.
Spirited controversy arose
over the magazine last fall
when it was announced that the
organization had ceased pub­lication.
Because of the time
consumed in straightening out
the affairs of the magazine and
the attempt to change to a
new format, this will be the
only issue of Frontiers pub­lished
during the school year.
Mr. Rhodes said, "While the
magazine limited itself in this
one issue to materials from the
graduate and undergraduate
schools of the University, and
while the stress for this issue
was on creative writing, the
staff and editorial board con­sider
content, format, and
source of material to be flexible
and dependent on what the stu­dents
want in their magazine:"
There is no central theme to
this issue, which will be about
sixty pages long. Rather, it will
consist of ''poetry, at least one
short story, perhaps a play,
some literary papers, and art
work."
Next year, with structure
settled and permanent facilities,
Frontiers hopes to start insti­tuting
other aspects of the
magazine other than the two
regular issues to be published
next year. These will include
"poetry and prose workshops,
guest speakers on literary
topics, poetry readings by stu­dents,
etc."
Heading the staff of Frontiers
this year are Dr. Nicholas Rin­aldi,
Moderator; Mr. Brian
Dunn, Financial Advisor; Royal
Rhodes '68, Editor/Chariman
and Edward Castiglione, '69,
Art Consultant.
Printing this year will be
done by Remar Printing Co.
After publication, studetns will
be able to pick up their copy
of Frontiers in the lobby of the
Campus Center.
The Frontiers office is in
Canisius 301A. Correspondence
should be addressed to Box N.
Earlier in the day, Professor
Tyson will address the Honors
Seminar and invited guests in
a closed ses~ion. His topic for
this lecture Will be "Democracy,
Communism, and Pluralism."

By Jack Mara.
The second. in a series of
Sit 'n Bulls, will be held
tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 in
the Campus Center Oak R,oom.
The topic for the newly estab­lished
forum will be "Student
Government, Fa.ct or Farce at
Fairfield."
Speaking in defense of the
currently existing Student Gov­ernment
are former president
Kevin McGovern and the new
- president Michael Bocchini.
John Mullen, columnist for the
STAG and Vincent Renzoni of
the Junior class will speak
against the Government. George
Deren, a senior and feature
writer for the STAG, will mod­erate
the discussion.
The basic format for the "Sit
'n' Bull" forum wil be an open­ing
statement of approximately
five minutes by each of the stu­dent
speakers. Then each panel­ist
will be allowed a minute to
summariz-e the position he is
supporting. The purpose of the
speakers is not actually to de­bate
with the opposing speak­ers,
but rather to present the
basic issues for their respective
side.
Even more important, it is
hoped the speaker will stimu­late
discti.ssion among the stu­dents.
After the speakers have
presented ·the basic issues, the
floor will be open to the ques­tions
and comments of the au­dience.
It is hoped by all who
are involved that both students
and faculty will attend.

Against Old Blues

. closing tally to 15-3 in favor
of the Blues.
B Game
The B game was a very hard
fought contest on iboth sides.
Columbia had a defiinte ad­vantage
in both its size and
experience but is was the ag­gressive
defense and hard play
on the Fairfield Ruggers that
kept the two teams on even
terms. Both halves were filled
with hard tackling and good
kicking. John Langan and Doug
Ferarro kept the Columbia
team from moving too deeply
into Fairfield territory with
some fine t ackling.
As soon as· his hands and
right toe warmed up fullback
Jack Higgins managed to get
off some "Dublin kicks" to put
the ball back into Columbia
Territory. The real dim spot
in the game came when Fair­field
lock Jay Standish had his
leg broken during a loose serum
in the second half. The Stags
. fought well despite the one man
disadvantage to keep the game
on even terms until it ended,
another scoreless tie for the B
team.
Crane Stars For C's
But is was another win for
the unbeaten C team, as the
Pups managed to get by the
Columbia C's 3-0. The game
was much the same as the B's.
The Stags played a very ag­gressive
game to mak~ up for
their weight deficit. Quinny
Murphy played a consistent
game ot heads UP rugby as the
Stags went back and forth in
the fast moving game. Both
teams came close to getting
scores, but each time strong de­fense
kept the game scoreless.
The big break in the game
for Fairfield came when Col­umbia
was called for being off
sides. It was- Jay Crane to the
rescue with a perfect shot
through the uprights and the
lone score, the game ending 3-0.
Wesleyan Thumps "Pups"
And then the rains came! So
did the Wesleyan A team. The
Stags had scheduled a fourth
game with Columbia but due
to Columbia's lack of players
and the presence of an eager
Wesleyan team, the "youngest
pups" from Fairfield w e r e
forced to struggle against a
huge squad of veterans from the
Middletown, Conn. school. The
Stags were eager to play but
could do little to contain the
well seasoned Wesleyan team.
Neither the rain nor the one
sided score could dampen the
spirits of tse Stags but they
just didn't have a chance. The
game ended 23-0 in favor of
Wesleyan.
Yale 1\-'Iatch
A rugby first was reached as
the Fairfield All Reds success­fully
fieldted a fourth side, whicb
met the Yale R.F.C. at New
Haven.
Maher Scores
Under the able guidance of
Winslow Q. O'Dunn, the team
demonstrated a fine plan of
attack, as they dominated the
game from the start. The
initial score by the Fairfield
ruggers was made by freshman
Bob Maher, after he followed
his well positioned, down fi eld
kick.
The next try was registered
by Greg Rauscher, who took a
key pass from serum-half, Ron
Brancaccio. At this point Fair­field
led by the score of 8-0.
The extra two points resulted
from the cultured toe of Bill
Schmeissing.
At the start of the second
half, the young pups again
scored a try when Kevin
O'Connell reversed field and
sped into the end zone. Again
Schemeissing converted for the
two additional points. The final
score, made in the waning mo­ments
of . the game, was a
brilliant run by junior Ron
Brancaccio. The ,final score,
16-0.

SPORTS· PERSONALITY
By Robert Sillery
The 1967 edition of the Fair­field
University baseball team
is prdbably the finest in the
school's' history, and one of the
vital cogs in the diamondmen's
attack is the bitting and run~
ning of Pete Odium.
The hustling senior bats in
the leadoff spot for the Stags
and holds down the center field
post on defense. Pete started in
left for two years, but was
shifted to center this spring to
utilize his scrappy, ballhawkirig
play.
Pete is famous for his blind·
ing speed on the basepaths. He
is also an extremely adept bunt­er
and a fine defensive ball­player.
He is now referred to
as the "Home Run King" and
"Slugger" after smashing a 400
foot homer against New York
Tech in the season's opener.
Pete, a very versatile athlete,
also stars in basketball and
football. He played freshman
basketball and was a "super­sub"
for the varsity the next
year, sulblbing in four games
when the squad was struck with
a rash of injuries. He was high
scorer on C-2's legendary un­defeated
basketball team, and
also used his speed at flanker
for C-2's football team, which
also boasted an unblemished
record. Pete has also been ac­claimed
for his hair-raising per­formances
this year for G-2.
The versatile senior has been
Pete Odium
busy in several school activities.
This year he participated in
C.I.S.L. and was on the finan­cial
committee of the Student
Government.
Pete played his high school
sports at Hartford Public,
where he was the sixth man ob
the basketball team which won
the New England championship.
Pete is described by his
roommate, Bill Palmer, as a
tremendous lover of practical
jokes, who enjoys nothing more
than kidding someone and being
kid(f.~d in return. Bill has pro­vided
the competition for Pete
in several fierce "grudge" races
to settle the highly displi ted
question of who is faster.
According to inside sources,
Pete "is accused of being seri­ous"
about Miss Marilyn Demp­sey
of New Rochelle. According
to roommate Tom Hennekens,
"Pete is almost as 'whipped'
as me."
The likeable senior is com­pleting
pre-law courses here at
Fairfield, and he plans to do
graduate work at Suffolk Law
School in Boston. Pete's num­erous
f.riends agree that his
mariy talents and abilities are·
sure to niake him. a . success . in ~
his chosen profession. · ·
University of Hartford, 7-0, and
Southern Connecticut, 6-1. John
Lebedevich, with a 77, led all
golfers.
At the Grassy Hill golf course
in Orange, the golf team
emerged with two victories as
they defeated New Haven Col­lege,
4-3, and blasted St. Fran­cis
College of Maine, 7-0. Of
particular interest was · Ted
Coia's' match with New Raven's
Gary Nadolny. Unfortunately,
Coia suffered his first defeat of
the season as he lost one-up
after 21 holes. Jack MoCon­achie's
78 held up as the best
eighteen hole score of the day.
The Stags' next match will
be a triangular meet at Grassy
Hill on Tuesday, April 18. Their
opponents will be Marist Col­lege
and New Haven College.
New Haven will be out to re­verse
the 4-3 defeat handed to
them by Fairfield last week.
This defeat was the first home
loss suffered by New Haven in
morP thRn thrPP yPars.
The Stags will now return
to practice for two weeks be­fore
encountering Adelphi on
April 29. Adelphi is rated as
one of the team's tougher op­ponents,
but the Stags are
optimistically expecting to con­tinue
on the victory trail.

By William D. D' Alessandro
The Stag basabaU team, powered by a .327 batting average, will face the
University of Bridgeport today at Seaside Park. T~he Fairfield squad sports a 5-l
record, losing only to LI.U. who were downed by the undefeated U.B. te·am.
Leading the Fairfield batters is sophomore Bill Granata, slugging at a .500
clip. Dennis Hurlie and John Walsh, who missed two games due to a leg injury
are both hitting over the .400 mark. Allie Vestro, Bob Guisti, Paul Garstka, and
Skip Bolger are among the seven regulars who are hitting over .300.
In last week's action Stag
pitching stole the limelight. In
the 19-2 pounding cf Hartford,
Brad Behan, starting for the
first time, hurled a three hitter.
Although walking nine men,
Behan bore down in the
tight spots, struck out seven
batters, and was never in
trouble.
The Stags got only ten hits,
but they were coupled with
twelve walks and Hartford's ten
errors to give Fairfield an easy
win. Hurlie went two for five
with a double an~ a triple; driv­ing
in four runs. Granata drove
in three runs as did John Walsh,
but Walsh was lost for the next
two games hurting his knee in
a collision at first base.
Coach Don Cook brought in
Frank Mahoney and Ted Sy­meon
to finish the game after
the sixth inning, with the in­tention
of giving his next two
starters a workout. Mahoney
struck out two and Symeon
fanned all three Hartford bat­ters
in the ninth.
Symeon Pitches Shutout
Syrneon started against Mon­mouth
College. The senior co­captain,
throwing a good side­arm
curve, gained his first shut­out
as Fairfield won 5-0. It was
the Stags' first shutout since
1964. Symeon struck out five
and walked only one man. Mon­mouth's
five hits were scattered
through the game.
The Stags scored three runs
in the fourth inning with Gra­nata,
Guisti, and Garstka all
driving in a run. In the sixth,
Fairfield added two insurance
runs, one on a beautifully ex­ecuted
suicide squeeze by Pete
Odium.
It,was Frank Mahoney's' turn
against St. Peter's'. Mahoney
pitched a four hit shutout as
the Stags won their third con·
secutive game of the week, 6·0.
This extended Fairfield's streak
of no·rWl pitching to. 21 · score·
less innings. .
The Stags threatened in the
first three innings with men on
second and ·finally pushed over
three runs in the fourth, two
on a bloop single by Mahoney.
The ace Stag hurler, going into
the ninth with a six run lead,
filled the bases, but struck out
the last batter, making his
strikeout t<;>tal nine, and gained
a revenge victory for Faii'fleld . .
C 's Cop Only Win
Against Old Blues
By Jack Mara
It seemed as if the Columbia
Old Blues planned to spoil the
day for both the many parents
and the Fairfield Ruggers
Saturday at the day long series
of Rugby games held as part
of the parents weekend. The
Old Blues brought with them
both bad weather and a very
big and well versed Rugby team.
They proved to the many spec·
tators why they are considered
by some to be the best Rugby
club in the East.
In the A contest the Blues
took an early command of the
action. Their large and experi­enced
serum enabled the Col­umbia
team to stay on the of­fensive
for the best part of the
first half. Although the Stags
played a very spirited and de­termined
game, they just could
not seem to cope with the
strong kicking and fast moving
Columbia backfield. The Old
Blue serum-half played an ex­ceptional
game as he continu­ally
managed to get the ball
out to the backs.
The first score came as the
Columbia backfield swept to the
outside of the Stag defense, cut
back in and out-maneuvered
the remaining defenders· to go
in for the score. The Stags had
hardly recovered from the first
score and its follow up conver­sion
when the Old Blues were
again at the Fairfield goal line.
This time the Old Blue wing
picked up a well aimed fly kick
by the stand off and outraced
the defense for another tally.
The conversion was through the
upright and the Columbia grad­uates
led 10-0 at half time.
Tiny Scores For A's
The Fairfield Ruggers look
far more impressive as the sec­ond
half got under way. Ex­cellent
performance by Chris
Grauert in the line out en­abled
serum half Jay Kirwin to
get the Stag backfield moving.
Finally after two good move­ments
by the backs, the Stags
were deep in Columbia terri­tory.
Then a penalty was called
on the Blues and Bob "Tiny"
Smith kicked for three points.
The Stags·, however, could not
quite contain the Blues strong
offensive attack and the game
ended shortly after a final score
by the Old Blues, bringing the
