same time, the opinions of

The rules changes go "over

This year the Second Annual
Homecoming Weekend will be
11 e I d from November lOth
through 12th and will feature a
number of entertaining events
centering around the Fairfield­Providence

Vibrant Group
Heightening the weekend will
be a concert featuring the "new
and vibrantly different" group,

In this way, "It should be
worthwhile to be an upperclass­man
at Fairfield," as was stated
by Mr. Robert K. Griffin, Di­rector
of Student Services, who
approved the rules changes
along with Mr. Bianchi.
Responsibility Shown
Several influencing factors
played important roles in the
current changes. A primary
factor was the cooperation re­ceived
from the students par­ticipating
in the honors corri­dor
experiment.
These students showed a
great degree of responsibility
which Mr. Bianchi and Mr.
Griffin hope will be achieved
by other students under the
arne n d e d rules. Both men
agreed that a graduated degree
of responsibility was a neces­sary
condition for mature col­lege
men.
The a.lterations in the Stu·
dent Handbook are the result
of meetings hetween Mr. Bian·
chi, Mr. Griffin and the Execu­tive
Board of the Student Gov·
ernment this past summer in
an attempt to re-evaluate the
fonner code of standards. There
was an exceptional spirit of co·
operation and the pre sen t
changes are in close agreement
"Why Always Running?" by Pol Mara of Belgium.
"The new rules changes place
a heavy responsibility on the
students," stated Mr. Ronald J.
Bianchi, Director of Resident
Students, concerning the liber­alization
of regulations for the
coming year. Mr. Bianchi, in­strumental
in this long awaited
overhaul, went on to say that
he had "faith in the ability of
the student body to make these
changes successful" and that
such success could lead to "fur­ther
implementation of even
greater changes in the future."
Under the new regulations a
schedule of donnitory visiting
hours will be set up for the
second Sunday of each month.
The plan will go into effect upon
approval by the residents of
each dormitory who will be
polled by corridor prefects.
Check·Ins
Seniors will be required only
five check-ins Sunday through
Thursday evenings by 2 a.m.
All other checks will be elim­inated
after a month long pro­bationary
period.
Weekend check-ins will be
extended to 5 a.m. for members
of the Junior Class approved
after the trial period. During
the week as many as three
2 a.m. late permissions will be
allowed.
Second semester sophomores
will be allowed one 2 a.m. late

In this, the first regular issue of THE STAG I would like to ex­tend
a warm welcome to the entire F'airfield co~munity.
THE STAG is looking forward to serving you this year, bringing
J:ou the most complete coverage possible of all facets of University

must have the support of our readers. Please don't hesitate to con­tact
us about any newsworthy event or comment on anything in our
publication by means of Letters to the Editor.
THE STAG is the most effective means of communication on
campus - if it is used. We will always do our utmost to accommodate
our readers within our own limitations.
In justice to all we must insist that all Letters to the Editor do
not exceed one single-spaced typewritten page. In this way we hope
to give an equal amount of space to as many of our readers as
possible.
Finally, all official communications must be addressed to THE

have a clear recognition of the
maturity of the student body.
The trial period for attainment
of these privileges may seem to
many at first foolish and unneces­sary.
But these restrictions serve
as an effective incentive and re­ward
for responsible behavior
and release the serious student
from the restrictions necessarily
placed on those, who insist on
acting irresponsibly. This we
greet as a statement of the prin­ciple,
so often overlooked in the
past, that the majority should
not be penalized because of the
actions of the few. We also agree
that, as far as possible, discipline
must be geared to the individual.
For the student, this is a year
of tremendous responsibility. We
must demonstrate that we are the
mature body that we so often
proclaim. If we fail, the restric­tions
must return. If we succeed,
we will receive more and more
freedom and independence until
eventually we will attain full self­government.
The revised handbook is a
great step forward, but discus­sion
of future liberalization is
use!ess unless each student recog­nizes
his individual obligations.

Loan denominations shall be
in the sums of $5, $10, $15, $20,
$25 and $30. The borrower shall
have four weeks to repay the
loan. There will be a slight in­terest
charge of 1% per dollar
per week. (e.g. A $25 loan will
have an interest cost of $.25
per week.) Any loan which is
not repaid within the four week
limit will be charged an extra
$.25 per day for each day over­due
during the first two weeks.
Knights of Columbus
The Membership Drive for
Ignatian Council #4203 will be
initiated tomorrow evening at
7 :30 in the Campus Center Oak
Room. This is a Smoker that
is open to the entire Student
Body to explain the role of Co­lumbianism
on the Fairfield
Campus. The movie, The Papal
Challenge will be shown, which
is an explanation of the pur­pose
of the Knights of Colum­bus
in today's world.
A worthwhile evening has
been planned and all interested
are urged to attend.
Publication of the Student
Handbook traditionally evokes
only criticism of the antiquated
disciplinary code and its vague
indefinite phrasing. But this year,
through the cooperative efforts of
Mr. Griffin, Mr. Bianchi, and the
Student Government, we are
pleased to note a progressive
change in regulations and a more
positive recognition of student
maturity.
While many undesirable re­strictions
remain unchanged, the
new handbook must be viewed
as a milestone in student com­munication,
cooperation, and par­ticipation
in the college com­munity.
The sacrifice in time and energy
during the busy summer months
by both the Administration and
the Executive Board of the Gov­ernment
must be appreciated by
everyone who welcomes these
changes. Each party must be
commended for the open, frank
interchange of views and posi­tions
which has produced a more
suitable code for our community.
The most progressive of the re­cent
changes has been the liberal­izing
of the sign-in and late per­mission
regulations. At last we

ther Johann offered the opinion
that "it is difficult to engage
in dialogue if its object is not
to learn and if those engaged
in the dialogue are not willing
to change their minds or to
modify their positions." And,
unless the latter is recognized
as a possibility, the dialogue
has "no merit," the eJsuit
maintained.
On this same point, Cardinal
Koenig reiterated his belief
that "dialogue means we have
to learn from our partners"
and, speaking of the nonbeliev­ers,
"we can learn from them
about another fa-cet of human­ism
- a position which we did
not admit to before."
Dr. Kaufman, questioning the
"I don't want to convert you,
just talk with you" approach
to dialogue, asked the Cardinal
if this approach was not, in it­self,
"morally ambiguous." To
which Cardinal Koenig replied,
"Again, our aim is not to con­vert
the nonbeliever. But if
after many dialogues, the non­believer
comes to learn about
us (the Church, Christianity),
conversion is up to him."
Moving the discussion away
from the nonbeliever to Cath­olics,
Father Johann observed
that "sometimes Catholics feel
they are being short-changed in
dialogues, because there is ap­parently
little emphasis on free­dom
at conscience on the part
of the Catholic, a factor con­tributing
to present turmoil in
the Church."
"Shouldn't the Church as a
teacher take to heart some of
the techniques of the dialogue
it is espousing and practicing
on others?" Father oJhann
asked.
Admitting that there is a
need for "some re-education,
some reinterpretation of moves
made by the Vatican Council,"
the Cardinal expressed confi­dence
that "the turmoil will
pass away." He pleaded for
"patience and understanding"
on the part of Catholics and
all members of the "family of
man."
At the conclusion of the eve­ning's
dialogue, the participants
did agree that successful dia­logue
depends on the willing­ness
of all parties to admit the
things about which they are in
doubt. Even to agree on points
of disagreement meant a suc­cessful
exchange, they said.
j<'ranz Uardinal hoeni!:"
logue was recognized as essen­tial
for breaking through the
walls which had arisen 'between
the Church and the world,"
and, he went on, "Pope Paul
brought system to this dialogue
by establishing secretariats to
deal with separated Christians,
non-Christian religions, and
nonbelievers," with each of
whom the Church has some­thing
in common.
The Cardinal explained:
"OUr belief in Christ and
Holy Scripture is held in .com­mon
with other Christians; our
belief in God (or a Supreme
Being) is held in common with
those of non~hristianreligions;
and as for nonbelievers, we
have in common with them our
humanity."
"Conversion" is not the pri­mary
aim of the dialogue the
Church seeks with the nonbe­liever,
the Cardinal observed.
"Rather, we want conversation
so that we may understand."
Speaking specifically of the
dangers and challenges to the
Church and all of Christianity
presented by contemporary
atheism, the Austrial prelate
said atheism maintains that its
"no" to God brings it closer to
humanity, makes it more hu­manistic
than Christianity pro­fesses
to be. "Today's atheist,"
Cardinal Koenig observed, "says
'God is scientifically unneces­sary
and ethically impossible'."
"The militant atheist, the
Cardinal stated, is the "great
danger of the future, for he
sees man and God as competi­tors
and intends to see that in
the end man will be victorious."
Herein lies the "greatest chal­lenge
to Christianity. But it is
a challenge from which I'm
sure we will proceed purged
and clellnsed - and victorious."
Dr. Kaufman, who described
himself as an "unbeliever and
a nonbeliever" (maintaining
there is a distinction between
the two, took issue with look­ing
upon nonbelievers as "a
community."
"It is wrong," he said, "to
suggest that all nonbelievers
can be lumped together and,
therefore, treated as a single
body (such as the title and
establishment of a Secretariat
for Nonbelievers would imply)."
In trying to pinpoint the role
of the Church in dialogue, Fa-

Franz Cardinal Koenig of
Austria, who spoke recently at
Fairfield, said: "All of us are
God's children" and because of
this the Church's conversation
with the nonbeliever "will first
be a human one, rather than a
theological one."
The Cardinal, making Fair­field
the first stop on his cur­rent
visit to the U.S., joined
Dr. William Kaufman, noted
author and professor of philo­sophy
at Princeton University;
Father Robert Johann, S.J.,
philosopher, writer, and cur­rently
on the Jesuit seminary
staff at Shrub Oak, N.Y.; and
Norman Cousins of New Can­aan,
editor of The Saturday
Review, in a public forum on
"Christianity and Secular Hu­manism."
In his opening remarks, Car­dinal
Koenig sought to lay
some of the groundwork in­volving
the need for dialogue
"with all men" recognized by
the Church through the estab­lishment
of a secretariat such
as the one he heads.
"The history of the Secreta­riat
for Nonbelievers," he said,
"is based on the need for com­munication,
conversation, and
coming together (dialogue) with
those outside the Catholic
Church."
During the sessions of Vati­can
Council II, he said, "dia-

Recommendations
The following recommenda­tions
were provided by Dr. Mc­Donald
for members of the
Class of '68 who plan to go to
Graduate School.
First, one should make him­self
known to the members of
the committee.
Over half of the seniors were
offered places at 84 schools
throughout the country, includ­ing
departments at Berkeley,
Columbia, Georgetown, Notre
Dame, Princeton, Toronto, and
Yale.
Secondly, become familiar
with the work of the commit­tee
which may be broken down
as follows: (a) consultations
with seniors seeking advice on
Graduate School; (b) the
screening of National Award
nominees and preparation of
their applications; (cl the read­ing
and criticism of projects of
National Award Nominees; (d)
communication with faculty
members concerning the work
of the committee; (el the dis­tributing
of reading material
Graduates of the Class of '67
amassed a total of over $270,000

For us who oppose this future, there seem to be two ways
we might choose to prevent it. The New Left is one with its wish
to topple the present power structure and replace it with love
and fire bombs. If we choose this, we might eventually find our­selves
assassinating the president and violently overthrowing the
"powers that be" with the belief that through violence is bred
love.
The other way is through the democratic process, to work
constructively within our governmental system to bring about
this needed open housing legislation. We who choose this path
must work to educate those who are opposed to open housing
while we work to influence our elected officials to legislate and
implement it.
Students need not be silent even though they might not be
heard; just the interest we show shall influence ourselves. And we
are the future power structure.
We've had a lot of moments to remember this summer ­the
diplomatic exploits of De Gaulle, Stokely Carmichael, Rap
Brown and Fr. Groppi - plus the riots, big and small. The most
interesting for us as college students within a republican society
is the Fr. Groppi affair over open housing in Milwaukee. Some
say he's a saint, some won't attend Mass in Milwaukee until he
is exiled. Whichever makes no difference for America. What
makes a difference is the eventual influence of the whites who
are most directly affected by open housing upon the political at­mosphere
(not in white power conventions but in actual strength
of the Northern vote upon national politics).
The South was integrated legally largely because of Northern
control of national policy through the vote. It was safe and, at
the time, highly altruistic to back wholeheartedly the civil rights
laws - they were directed solely against those narrow Southern­ers
who still played Dixie. At that time overt Negro problems and
the evil of the Southern bigot was completely in the limelight.
Watts was the first blow to this blindness, Detroit and Newark
the most recent. But they were confined largely to the Negro and
his frustration and his anguish. Not to the white and his feelings
and his fears.
First in Chicago and now, above all, in Milwaukee do we feel
the reaction of the Northern white who has finally come into
contact with the revoution he was so instrumental in starting.
The Northern Negro is in the ghetto originally imposed upon him
by the whites and kept existent by the lack of open housing
legislatIOn to overcome the fear of black encroachment into a
neighborhood.
But this situation can't last much longer as. it now stands.
Men like Fr. Groppi, with their persistence to incorporate the
Negro American into America, are bringing tC' a climax the
question of the existence of the gbetto which is being imposed by
the lack of open housing legislation.
As of now, this legislation seems doomed to defeat within
state legislatures. These legislatures are under the dictates of
the middle class white, and the majority of thi., community are
unfortunately set against open housing - in Illinois, by recently
voting down open housing, the legislature has followed the dic­tates
of this majority in its wish to perpetuate the dangerous,
and without doubt, un-American system of the ghetto.
But what happens if this middle class white dbsession con­tinues
to dictate our politics and, therefore, our law? Probably,
ghetto riots - more frequent and more severe (but always being
crushed); and white reaction - more fearful on the streets and
more severe at the polls. And, worst of all, what must eventually
result from this sever,ity? What can be the eventual future of
this forced ghetto system? The present trend can only lead to a
nation-wide system of Basutu lands - making t.he Negro a for­eigner
to this country and a native of East St. Louis, Watts and
Newark.

Scholarship winners for this
year.
The scholarship, initiated
over two years ago by the
Very Rev. William C. McInnes,
S.J., University president, is a
full tuition scholarship to Fair­field
and is offered each year to
an outstanding graduate of the
public and Catholic high schools
in the city of Bridgeport and
the surrounding towns of Fair­field,
Trumbull and Stratford.
Father Murphy, who ex­pressed
"great satisfaction with
the development of the pro­gram,"
said its aim is to fur­ther
the education of potential
scholars and to work in a co­operative
way with area high
schools.
This years' recipients of the
full four year tuition scholar­ships

The central point of "Privi­lege"
was partly inspired by the
furor the Beatles aroused a few
years ago with the statement
comparing their own position in
modern society with that of
Christ. Just how far can the in­fluence
of a public hero, such as
a pop-singer, reach? Watkins as­sumes
the answer to be "very
far", and then asks why can't
such a figure be created and
used as a sociological instru­ment
to guide and subconscious­ly
control a mass national fol­lowing.

trends of the island's youth and

If the kids are restless, Steve,
through his songs, appearance,
and stage activities becomes a

morals and patriotism seem to

The ,film is primarily an essay
in mass-psychology, drawing on
Hitlerian techniques and Or­well's
"1984" world. Watkin's
cold calculated logic is as sound
hE:re as it was previously con­cerning
the atomic attack in
"The War Games". He does not
make a small group of fanatics,
and thus recognizable bad guys,
responsible for the situation, but
instead the nation's leading sc­ciologists,
pol i tic ian s, and
churchmen. The intentions of
these men are above suspicion
as Steve leads an overflowing
stadium in reciting their great
repentance crusade's short lit­any
- "I will conform". It is
the realization of the value that
can be placed on the concept
of the common good that makes
"Privilege" so chilling.
But also striking is the other
dimension of the film which is
concerned with the person of the

to be greater flexibility on the

the program be generally suc­cessful

performance, then there can be
further expansion in this area
to a point where the student

Mr. Bianchi emphasized that

Tho optimism and confidence
which Fairfield's Soccer Team,
reputed to be the best In the
school's history, carried Into
their initial contest was quelch·
ed by a hard·fightlng, skilled
New Haven squad, which
downed the Stags In the sea·
son's opener S·O.
The first half was an even,
defensive battle with both
teams being held scoreless un­til,
with two minutes remain­ing,
New Haven utilized some
deft ballhandling to work their
way past Stag goalie Tom Wil­mott
for a score. Moments be­fore
the Stags had come close
to score when co-captain Ben
Hill broke into the clear only
to have his shot hit the goal­post.
New Haven applied a crush­ing
blow when they scored
again one minute later on a
defensive mixup to take a 2-0
halftime lead. The third quar­ter
was also dominated by New
Haven, which scored again to
ice the game. The defenses
took over again in the scoreles's
forth period and New Haven
left the field with a 3-0 victory.
The outstanding player for
the Stags was goalie Tom Will­mott,
who constantly came
through with key saves to sty­mie
the New Haven attack. As
good as the Stags' defense was,
New Haven's was better as
they completely thwarted the
Stag offense.
Despite this defeat, the Soc­cer
outlook still appears bright.
With thirteen returning letter­men
spearheaded by co-captains
Hill and Jack Casey, the Stags
have depth and talent. These
two will team with veterans
Tim Roach, Tom Moylan, Kevin
Looser and Tony Palumbo to
anchor the experienced, capable
squad. The mainstay of the de­fense
is Willmott, whose spark­ling
saves have prevented many
a score. The offense should also
be bolstered by soph hopefuls
Jeff Jones and Don McInerney.
Coach Jim Kuhlman is also
planning to initiate a freshman
squad, and has set up a five
game schedule for the yearlings.

the Stags short of victory. The
Gaels will again provide the
upposition in this season's open­er
on Friday, October 6. This
time the team not only expects
to look good, but to win.
The only problem beyond the
control of the team is student
support. Only with the aid of
the student body can the dedi­cation
and hard work of the
players, coaches and staff mem­bers
come to fruition in a win­ning
team.
BOB DAWES is the "sleeper" of this
year's frosh. Playing for a fine Notre
Dame of Bridgeport team, he was both
the leader in scoring with a 15 point
average and an average of 17 rebounds
per game. He was forced to sit out his
junior year because of a broken ankle,
but he came back strong in his senior
year and it is hoped that if his ankle
holds up, his height-6'6"-will give the
frosh some fine performances under the
boards.

unly non·defeat on the schedule
last year. However, ahead 6·0

clock, the Stags were forced to
settle for a tie as St. John's

One of the Stags' better
games was last year's opener
TOM PURCELL played center for
Stepinac High School in White Plains.
At 6'4", he led his team in rebounding,
hauling down 19 per game. While there
he also had a fine 14 point average in
scoring. In post-season all-star selec­tions,
he was named to the all-league
team in the CHSAA. Although he played
center in high school, Tom will prob­ably
be moved to a forward at Fairfield.

This year, the Fairfield University basketball team will face
its toughest and most exciting schedule since coach George
Bisacca took over the helm seven years ago. As most Stag fans
know, it will include such national powerhouses as N. C. A. A.
semifinalists Dayton and Houston (down in the Astrodome).
However, there are still many who have yet to be introduced
to the newly admitted frosh who will be on scholarship, Mr.
Bisacca worked very hard to get the best possible men from
all parts of the East coast.
Here are the four men who are expected to be the backbone
for the frosh this year and of whom a great deal is expected:
MARK FRAZIER is a 6'6" forward from St. Augustine's
High School in Brooklyn, New York. He led his team with a fine
23 point scoring average while also
pulling down 14 rebounds per game.
Watching him play, all Stags will see
why he is noted for his "tremendous
desire" and all-around hustle. While in
high school, he was named to several
all star teams including All-League in
the CHSAA, All-Division in the New
York Daily News, and third team all­city
in the World Tribune and New
York Post. It's hoped that his poise and
fine shot will lead the frosh to anoth­er
winning season.
~ ..
PETE YAROS is 6'1" and played
forward in high school but will be
moved to backcourt for the frosh. Play­ing
for Monongahela. High School in
Pennsylvania, Pete led his team in scor­ing
with an 18 point average, and also
pulled down 6 rebounds per game. In
post-season honors, he was named to
both the all-valley and all-district teams
and also gained honorable mention on
the all-Pennsylvania team.
With such a fine backbone of ball players, this frosh team
could be one of the best in the school's history.

Mr. Curtis stated that
the team is looking to shut out
lona.
According to Coach Curtis,
his outlook on this season is
neither optimistic nor pessi­mistic
but realistic. The Stags
cannot be expected to sweep
through the schedule like the
Green Bay Packers, but they
can be expected to provide a
representative, winning brand
of club football.
This year's squad should
show vast improvements over
last year's eleven. The agonies
of merely trying to field a rep­resentative
squad in a baptism­al
season left little opportunity
to acquire the team co-ordina­tion,
execution, and almost in­tuitive
knowledge of one's
teammates which must be
blended in equal parts with tal­ent
to provide a winner. The
talent is there, and since this
year's veterans have a year of
working together under their
belts, the confidence and knowl­edge
which come with experi­ence
will surely arrive.
Another positive factor is
that the Stags now have a
workable bench which should
provide versatility and depth.
This bench strength should help
alleviate last year's problem,
which saw the tired defenses
break down late in the game,
especially in the vital area of
secondary pass coverage.
The club sports a six game

After an initial season where
overcoming financial difficulties
and establishing an interest for
football on campus were its
most outstanding triumphs,

Football Club is now plan­ning

The Stags have already com­pleted
two weeks of training
under the diligent tutelage of
coach Dick Curtis, with the
initial turnout listed at 46.
From these hopefuls this year's
squad of 35 will be picked,
with a total of twenty return­ing
lettermen expected to form
the core of the team.
One of the most exciting of
this year's returnees is track

members of the Class of '71 re­siding
on Gonzaga Ground and
Gonzaga 1. This is a 50 per
