Minor financial and legisla­tive
bHls comprised. the agenda
for the second meeting of the
Student Legislature.
More significant matter in
the future was evidenced, how­ever,
with the proposal of new
bills for discussion.
Student president Michael
Bocchini pointed out the de­pendence
of Student Govern­ment
finance on the student ac­tivities
fee. He explained that
these cards account for 60% of
the total budget. Thus far, 96%
have paid from the freshman
class, but under 50% from the
remaining upperclassmen.
"The only way to raise this
percentage will be to make stu·
dents realize the significance of
this card, and the consequences
of not having it," commented
Mr. Bocchinl further.
In other business, Frank
Mandanici's proposal to appro­priate
$40 to the Homecoming
Committee and $30 for the Car­dinal
Key Society blotter were
unanimously passed. A second
bill concerning elections within
the Legislature, by Gerald Sal­omone,
was also favored.

The idea of the group was re­cently

Many students have wondered at
the disappearance of at least a
few color plates - something
which enhances any yearbook.
Frankly, many students feel
ashamed to show the yearbook
to friends and relatives.
The Manor was brimming with
pictures of beer cans and lacking
in good college humor. There
were no examples of faculty and
student achievements in the arts
and letters. Many opportnnities
for clever wit were missed. All
these give an impersonal air to
the book.
The 1967 Manor, like any pro­ject
of its kind, ultimately came
down to the handling of a very
small number of students. And
the book reflects their slanted
view of Fairfield.
THE STAG hopes that the
1968 staff will try a wider and
more representative scope in re­cording
the history of the senior
class and university of this aca­demic
year. They must reverse
the trend that has produced poor
yearbooks.
We also ask that the student
body support the 1968 Manor.
This next yearbook can and
should be a good one if those in­v
·olved put aside personal feel­ings
and prejudices and concen­trate
on giving an accurate re­port.
Suggestions from the stu­dent
body on improving the year­book
should be welcomed by the
1968 staff.
Captions, f.ormal coverage of
all the University's clubs and or­ganizations,
the avoiding of "in­jokes",
and recognition of those
who deserve it - these few cor­rections
should make a great
improvement in the yearbook. It
can be a book to be proud of.

Manor Misgivings
THE STAG feels that the view
that the 1967 Manor gave was
completely out of focus with the
experiences, people and events
which comprised Fairfield Uni­versity
in the past academic year.
This last edition was the culmin­ation
of a deteriorating trend in
the yearbooks of the past few
years. The student body, how­ever,
must not pre-judge the 1968
Manor. The present ye·arbook
staff certainly can, and hopefully
will, rectify the mistakes which
made for such a poor presenta­tion
of life on this campus.
An examination of last year's
publication accentuates the ob­stacles
that must be removed. In
the place of meaningful captions
the Manor contained a "not-so­flowing"
commentary in Latin
and English, and some infrequent
attempts at humor. While a few
pictures were self-explanatory,
the majority required some des­cription.
The result is that the
book appears to be a hastily ar­ranged
collection of photographs
rather than a chronicle for future
rememberance.
In addition. there is no formal
recognition of many deserving in­dividuals
in the senior and other
classes. The yearbook does not
reflect Fairfield's pride in its fel­lowship
recipients, student gov­ernment
officers, athletic stand­outs,
club and organization lead­ers,
and faculty members who
contributed more than their
share to the University.
Some teams and clubs were
given a large amount of space,
while others received dispropor­tionately
small coverage. There
was also a conspicuous absence
of some groups. There is no ex­cuse
for such editorializing.
Sincerely,
Edward L. Castiglione '69

Concert Complaint
To the Editor:
The performance by Andrew Heath
was excellent; I am sure everyone who
attended enjoyed the music. However,
the entire event showed extremely poor
planning and a definite reflection on the
Public Relations branch of the Uni­versity.
If the Heath recital was hindered in
any way, it was due to a lack of or­ganization,
ingenuity and professional
guidance which the Special Events De­partment
should have provided.
No consideration was given to Mr.
Heath. The lights stationed on the stage
were both eyesores and uncomfortable
aecomodations which all could have
done without. The impromptu seating
arrangement "soaked" up sound and
created an atmosphere of pure con­gestion.
Certainly anyone who had any idea
of how a recital should look or function
would have ant:cipated problems, but
obviously these problems were second­ary.
or at least ignored.
Ions" An example of this type of occur­rence
cropped up last Thursday when
one legislator introduced a bill that
might have been taken verbatim from
the minutes of one of the final legisla­tive
assemblies of the past semester.
Not only did it strike me as somewhat
odd that a bill that had already been
considered and rejected should be re­introduced
so soon, but even more
strange was the observation that the
person who had led the opposition to the
bill last spring was the sponsor of
Thursday's essentially similar proposal.
Far it be it from mE' to accuse any
member of our esteemed legislature of
"billnapping," misrepresentating his
constituents, or, heaven forbid, using
devious means of furthering his own
political career at the expense of a col­league.
However, I cannot help but
ponder the effect of such machinations
on the efficiency of our Student Gov­ernment.
Sincerely,

Occasionally, when passing through

often overwhelms me, on occasion

and undignified position as an observer,
to detect certain curious inconsistencies
in the positions taken by our sage so-

To the Editor:
At the Student Government meeting
of Oct. 5, 1967, I was treated to a dis­play
of political buffoonery, compliments
of Robert Carpenter, Class of '70 rep­resentative.
It would have been a com­pletely
amusing evening had he not con­cluded
his show with an act totally
lacking in integrity. What Mr. Carpen­ter
did was to propose a bill concerning
changes in dress regulations, nearly ver­batim
the same bill proposed by another
representative a scant four months ago.
The injustice of the plagiarism is com­pounded
by the fact that Mr. Carpenter,
only seven months ago was a staunch
enemy pf this legislation that he has
now submitted under his own name. In
the following breath, Mr. Carpenter
ended any doubt that he would walk on
the heads of his colleagues in order to
attain his political aspirations. For then
he proposed, under his name, another
bill proposed by a fellow legislator last
year that forbids the holding of a class
office and a legislative seat simultane­ously.
The only person to whom this
applies presently is the man who origin­ally
proposed the dress regulation bill.
I find Mr. Carpenter's actions detri­mental
to the Student Government of
Fairfield University, and I feel that con­sideration
must be given to the extent
of the role that he I>lays in future gov­ernmental
activities.

stimulate the discussion with
pertinent questions. He felt, in a
review of the conference, that
it was extremely beneficial be­cause
it provided him with an
opportunity to understand the
students' view and reasons.
Student feeling about the con­ference
was mixed. One student
who attended felt that it was
"interesting for it gave everyone
an expanded view of Fairfield's
problems, but fell short of its
theme of innovation." He clari­fied
this by explaining that it
was a good idea, but one in
which "not one definite proposed
solution to a Fairfield problem
came forth."
Another student who attended
felt that the discussions were in­teresting
enough, but got the dis­tinct
impression that nothing
concrete would result fro m
them.
Still another student felt that
"the unwillingness of Fr. Me·
Innes to commit himself by
giving administration vie w s
made the conference a one way
street - he got a wide scope
of student opinion on importa,nt
matters, but gave the students
no administrative view by which
they could g&u~ their Ideas for
any future innovation."
In general, most students
agreed that Leadership Confer­ence
could be extremely bene­ficial
if certain aspects were
overhauled in the future.

On the weekend of September

the Third Annual Leadership

"between the students and ad­ministration."
The events were initiated on
Friday night amid the pleasant

To S'erve Students
The goals of this body are
"to serve students, to represent
student interests, to provide an
international voice, and to parti­cipate
in the International Stu­dent
Conference." The charter
of the ISC commits it "to en­courage,
aid, and defend the
democratic student movement
throughout the world, since only
through dynamic, united and
independent action can stu­dents
ful1il1 their role as a con­science
of society in the van­guard
of political, economic,
and social progress."
On the American national
level, the Association's annual
congre::.-s begins with a special
three-day conference for Stu­dent
Body Presidents and a
separate one for NSA Coordina­tors.
The Student Body Presi­dents'
Conference is a "forum
in which students hear about
and express their views on prob­lems
of student government,
students in the community at
large, and international student
politics." The NSA Coordinators
Conference "deals with the
same subject matter from the
standpoint of what USNSA is
doing and how they can involve
students at their schools in
these areas through USNSA."
Legislation Researched
The legislation for the con­gress
is researched and dis­cussed

of the five main
committees. The main commit­tees
are Student Government
and the Educational Process,

What Is the National Student
Association't To some it is the
student organization that was
financed for thirteen years by
the Central Intelligence A&'enc7,
To others, It is the student
group that was one of five or­ganizations
involved on student
rights and freedom this summer.
Few know more than this about
the workings of this national,
internationally-minded body.
Started in 1946 by a small
group of university students, as
a response to the Communist
control of students at the
Prague Conference, it has de­veloped
into a channel for stu­dent
opinion and action in
many areas of society. In re­cent
years, the Association has
become involved in such issues
as capital punishment, nuclear
disarmament, our involvement
in Vietnam, and civil rights.
A Proud Chapter
As regards the latter, its
handbook relates: "USNSA's
involvement in civil rights dates
back to the Association's earli­e::.-
t days. Unqualified and im­mediate
support for sit-ins, as­sistance
to Negro students un­able
to continue their educa­tion
in the South, cooperation
in setting up the Student Non­violent
Coordinating Committ­ee,
continuing activity in all
areas of civil rights - these
actions constitute a proud chap­ter
in USNSA's history."
This past August, at their
annual, national Congress, It
passed a resolution stating,
"Black power Is the unification
of all black peoples in America
for their llberation by any
means necessary." The phrase,
"by any means necessary," was
deleted from the resolution,
then later re-incorporated. But
passage of a resolution on such
a controversial subject as black
To Include Moscow
Russian Circle Tour
Moscow will be the highlight
of the Fairfield Russian Circle's
European tour led by Profes­sor
Wolfe Czarnanski next
summer. The group has defin­itely
decided to include Berlin,
Warsaw, and for the first
time, the Russian Capital, in
its 1968 itinerary.
In order to accommodate all
interested students, Pro f.
Czamanski has planned three
trips this year. The first group
will leave on or about May 27
and will return twenty~e
days later. The air fare will
cost c,lose to three hundred
dollars round trip for all the
groups and the all inclusive
European program will cost an
additional two hundred dollars
In e~nse money. The Contin­ental
tour not including Mos­cow
will be about ninety dol­lars
less.
The second group will leave
concurrently with the first but
will return :lS late as August
28, 1968. These students may

Let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To ~ie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beauUful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help from pain;
It has nothing other than the history that we give it. And
right now our generation must give to history - democratically
and emotionally - the racially fluent society. The Negro Amer­.
ican, the Mexican American, the Puerto Rican American and
every race within America (and hopefully within the world)
must, and Man willing, shall live in the freedom that we in this
school accept as an everyday reality.
Brotherhood must be more than an abstract ideal in America
today. It is something that we must live by and make an integral
part of the faith of our daily lives and of the real~ty of our
political and legal experience. In this troublesome racial period,
some may wonder whether we are not being tQrn apart by our
problems. But we - as students - must not think of anything
other than our education and the development of the concepts
with which we shall influence the future of our nation. And one
concept must be the essential dignity of all individuals within our
democratic and capitalistic society.
We in this institution are privileged to have the freedom which
is denied many Negro Americans, Mexican Americans, Puerto
Rican Americans and other racial minorities within America. But
freedom has been well defined as "the condition under which a
person is not restrained ~n ~e exercise of any right or fulfillment
of any responsibility." Under this freedom those who are free
have a definite commitment to responsibility: to themselves, to
the nation, to the world, to Man, to the future. Our generation
has the responsibility to incorporate everyone who is an American
into the American experience.
If we, the students, do not develop the intellectual commit­ment
to this responsibility to racial fluency, we shaH not, as men
in our society, be commrtted to the legislative and emotional im­plementation
of this commitment. The racial problem is not our
only challenge. This is not the sole object of our responsibility.
But if onr generation does not react properly, our society shall
grow stagnant. Our democratic ideals shall be buried with us,
and if not with us, with our children.
This responsibility, as everyone of our responsibilities, is what
the foundation of our society depends upon. We - the free cit~·
zens now - must solidify our ohildren ,in freedom by contributing
the racially fluent society to their future. This is one responsibility
from which they shall learn from us how to meet and react to

listeners part. This leads to
disappointment all around. If the
person wishes to really listen
he must be willing to put forth
some effort of h~s own. Often
times this effort from the
listener is no more then just
sitting quietly and listening.
This is especially true of John
Coltrane. The music of Col­trane
is complicated and so the
listener must put forth a con­cious
effort of paying close at­tention
if he is to get anytMng
from the music. I might add
here that for those who are
willing to do this the rewards
are well worth the effort. Col­trane
often played at a furious
pace and covered everything
with "sheets of sound". Thus
in order to understand what he
is playing you have to listen
closely and become involved in
the music; and once one is aible
to do this, whole new worlds
are opened to the l~stener. You
can understand what he is
saying.
Unfortunately I am not
capable of telling anyone ex­actly
what Coltrane had to
say and said. The only thing
I can suggest is that you listen
and decide for yourself. What
I can say and say with com­plete
confidence is that with
the death of John Coltrane not
only the world of jazz suffered
a great loss but also the entire
world of music has lost a voice,
the kind of which more are
needed.
By JAY F. DONNORUMA
This past summer, as the
summer before, the world of
jazz lost another of its giants.
Bud Powell died in the summer
of 1966, and this past July John
Coltrane died in a New York
City hospital at the age of
forty. For most people the
death of Coltrane held little,
if any importance. But to those
of us who follow jazz it was a
terrible shock.
With the death of Coltrane,
the jazz world has lost a genius
of high caliber. Not only was
he a fine musician but he was
also one of the leading voices in
the new jazz, or free jazz as
it is sometimes called. He
brought back to jazz the use
of the saprano saxaphone, an
instrument which has not been
widely used since the time of
Sidney Bechet. He also brought
into jazz a new style of play­ing,
a style which was emo­tional
and violent. One noted
jazz critic described it as
"sheets of sound". But these
"sheets of sound" were only
one side of Coltrane, for along
with them came sensitivity and
gentleness. He could play with
either tremendous force or
with child l~ke softness. Like
all good musicians he was
capable of expressing many e­motions
through his music.
For one who listens to the
music of John Coltrane for the
first time, it may seem like ut­ter
and complete chaos. This
fact often turns many new
listeners away and this ds un­fortunate,
as one cannot un­derstand

Alphonso Paso, at the age of
forty one, is considered one of
contemporary Spain's leading
play writes; he has literally
written hundreds of plays, one
of the most popular of which is
"Song of the Grasshopper,"
which premiered recently at the
ANTA theatre in New York.
If this play is in actuality an
indication of the quality of
modern Spanish drama, I.would
suggest that that quality is
very poor.
"Grasshopper," in this trans­lation
and production personal­ly
approved by Mr. Paso, is a
hollow light comedy, whose
construction is as contrived as
its sentiments are false. Dra­matic
event is telegraphed to
the audience so far in advance
of its occurrence that when it
finally happens it seems to be
happening in the past tense;
symbolism does not arise nat­urally
from the situation but
rather is tacked on, like an
author's program note; the
turns of emotion and conclus­ions
of thought which the
characters experience and ar­rive
at ring falsely in the world
of the play, for they are based
in a degenerate romantici.sm
which lies unnaturally behind
the play, rather than compel­lingly,
as a convincing rationale
for the action.
The story concerns a charm­ing
but totally irresponsible
middle-aged Spaniard who lives
in poverty with his hoard of
illegitimate children which he
drops around the countryside as
easily as he picks up stray
animals. For his survival he
trusts in God, Who, on cue
provides; when this occurs re­peatedly
in the first five
minutes of the show, we in the
audience, if we've seen more
than three plays before, begin
to suspect that the author is
going to be sorely tempted to
abandon his gay abandon
before the night is through, but
that he will conquer all and
continue, uncorrupted, in his
romantically loveable existence.
That is exactly what happens,
with a vengeance: his rich and
imperious wife, from whom he
is separated, shows up, and in
the process of marryin~ on
their two children, OIfers him

The last piece on the pro­gram

personal enthusiasm

had an electrifying effect on
the audience: their thundering

that they had participated in

The second half of the re­cital
was opened with two im­pressions
by Debussy: The Sun·

modern, and the moods created
by use of the whole tone and
pentatonic scales were ,indes­cribable
in their shimmering
beauty.
Brahms' Rhapsody In G

same determination that the
Bach Concerto was. The In­termezzo
was especially well
done; and here again, Mr.
Heath showed his tremendous
capacity for dynamic contrast.
gorous, well-defined melody
was quite easy to follow and
gave a unity to the entire piece.
Bach's Itallan Concerto fol­lowed,
and the pianist's real
skills began to show up in the
three movetments of this piece.
Mr. Heath's contrast between
the loud, firm first movement
and the beautiful, flowing sec­ond
movement was magnifi­cent.
His interpretations of the
softer sections of the piece
were especially pleasing. In
these, he used a very light,
gliding touch, and in this he
differed from ilie usual ap­proach
to Bach, that of rather
heavy-handedness.
My Lady Carey's Dompe, a
short 16th century English

and enjoyable, though hardly
earth-shaking.
'I'he Prelude, Chorale and

some problems. This is
a tremendously demanding
work, both in its technical as­pect
and in its length. Mr.
Heath seemed to loose control
of the thematic and melodic
lines in parts of the composi­tion,
making it very difficult
to understand. Yet, there was
a true feeling of climax and
completion when it was finish­ed.

The concert that followed was
a varied and highly interesting

Mr. Heath opened the first

Wallach's acting is magnifi­cent.

Anne Jackson complements
Wallach nicely; however a sub­stantial
number of gags and
minor characters that revolve

By PETER HEARN
Invasion of North Vietnam is being advocated by those who
desire an end to the war through escalation. These people ap­parently
believe that Asia's future is our future; and that it is
in our best interest to secure Southeast Asia as a sphere of in­fluence.
This viewpoint overlooks the fact that Asia's future
belongs pI'imarily to the Asians. It must not be left to the powers
of the West to determine what the destiny of the East will be.
That was tried during the age of Imperialism, and we are living
with its results.
The nations of the Orient are experiencing the trauma of
birth. This is a natural process and must not be aborted. In Viet­nam
the United States became too deeply involved in the turmoil
of national develop:nent, and is now facing the perplexing prob­lem
of how to become un-involved. Invasion of the North ranks
among one of the least feasilble solutions to the dilemma.
Without delving into the moral implications of suclh an act
(which alone should be enough to prevent it) one can examine the
more pragmatic aspects and still arrive at the conc1usion that it
shouldn't be attempted. Latest intellignce reports indicate that
North Vietnam has, under the direct control of its military,
2,490,000 men and women trained in guerilla warfare. An inva­sion
wouldn't result in a conventional war leading to conventional
victory. It would only be an expansion" of tlhe present guerilla
warfare in the North. Most rrtHitary tacticians agree that the
ideal situation for quelling a guerilla army is to outnumber the
insurgents by approximately ten to one. Applying this to the pro­jected
invasion the U.S. would need almost twenty-five million
troops to pacify the countryside.
Even if suoh a blunder were enacted, it wouldn't solve the
problem in the South. The conflict in South Vietnam isn't solely
a war of aggression. It is also a popular war. It is being waged
by a large segment of the population who a,re dissatisfied with a
system that has been exploiting them for years. The roots of
South Vietnam's war He at its serious social, economic and
political ills which would exist even if the Nortlh never existed.
People who advocate invasion of the Democratic Republic of
Vietnam usually support their opinion with the belief that Red
China would never enter the conflict.
It doesn't take much of a strain on the memory to recall
similar non-intervention predictions about the "Red Giant" during
the Korean "War". Presently she is in the midst of a period of
tremendous chaos and internal strife, and one of the best means
of uniting a divided nation is by involVing it in an armed conflict
for a common cause. Vietnam could be this cause.
Russia could also become involved. The rift between the two
Communist giants is a wide one. However, it must be remembered
that their dispute is over the means to an end, not the end itself.
It is hard to imagine Russia turning her head while her Com­munist
neighbor gets involved in what could become a life-death
struggle with the leading nation of the Western World.
Those who believe that Soviet non-involvement would be
based on a lack of concern for Asia obviously know little of Rus­sian
history. For centuries Russia has shown interest in the lands
to the east of them. Exploration of Alaska, incroachoments on
Manchuria, the Russo-Japanese War, the occupation of Korea,
and the present involvement in Vietnam 8!1l stand as testimony to
Russia's desire to be a Pacific power.
Obviously then, attempting to gain control of Southeast Asia
by stepping up the tempo of a war that has already grown too
large is very foolish and extremely risky.
The emerging nations must be able to look upon us as
partners with an interest in their development as free states.
They will never regard us as such if we continually threaten to
destroy them when they secede from our economic control or
deviate from our political ideas. They may not have all the an­swers
to all their problems; and then may not know exactly where
they are headed. But we don't have the answers either, as a study
of our foreign policy in Asia demonstrates. Their masses may
seem primitive and uneducated, but they aren't blind. They can
readily see the difference between greedy self-interest and true
desire to help them determine their own destiny. They've already
experienced the former; we must show them the latter.

No Obstacles
Father McInnes, President of
the University, felt there were
no obstacles to Fairfield's join­ing
the NSA, even considering
the strain that might occur,
should its national congress
pass a resolution, controversial
for a Catholic campus, such as
birth control. The President
noted that Fairfield has once
belonged to the NSA under the
student-council system of gov­ernment.
Fr. McInnes added, however,
that the desire to join the NSA
again must come from the stu­dents
first. Thus, he preferred
not to give his opinion of the
organization, lest this be con­sidered
interference into stu­dent
aJlairs.
College Newspaper
On the points concerning the
student press in the Joint State­ment
On Student Rights and
Freedom, Father McInness of­fered
two alternatives to the
present student newspaper. One
would have the student news­paper,
both student-staffed and
directly student-financed, thus
a completely "student" news­paper.
The other alternative
would have the paper universi­ty
financed, but with students.
faculty, and administration
members contributing articles
to its issues. The President
called this type of paper, the
"college newspaper."
Further, he suggested a new
type of student government,
the "conununity govenunent",
consisting of administration,
faculty, and student members.
Concerning the operation of
"participatory democracy" with­in
the "community govern­ment"
from the standpoint of
the student, Father McInnes
described his role as a situa­tion
"where every student in the
university would be involved in

concern of USNSA's involve­ment
in academic freedom has
always been the question of due
process. USNSA seeks fair pro­cedures
so that relations be­tween
the University and the
student will not be character­ized
by infringements on the
student'!! freedom."
Campus Problems
Further, the NSA conducts
studies on campus environment
and culture, and on special
campus problems such as the
commuter college and the small
college. Its community involve­ment
has produced tutorials, all
sorts of aid to migratory labor,
the Fast For Freedom, and
Freedom Christmas; it is ex­ploring
the feasibility of a na­tionwide
campaign to secure the
vote for eighteen-year-olds.
Premature Move
In a recent interview, Mr.
Michael Bocchini, President of
the Student Government, stated
that "it would be premature for
Fairfield to join the NSA. At
present, this student govern­ment
and the University have
a need for identities and are
struggling to achieve them."
He felt that, even though a
member student government is
not required to support any
resolutions passed at a congress,
such as the resolution on black
power, it would be difficult for
such a government to publicize
sufficiently its lack of support
for it.
Another disadvantage to join­ing
such a national organiza­tion
is that "a member gov­ernment
becomes less autono­mous,
a part of the national
government's machine." Ac­knowledging
the need in a uni­versity
for a world view which
such an organization as the
NSA would provide, the Stu­dent
Government President
supported Fairfield's joining in

government had "been truly ac­cepted

These difficulties were com­pounded
by the fact that Fair­field
is only a beginner in club
football, but through the ef­forts
of Kirk and last year's
President Paul Barnes, Fair­field
has been able to field a
well organized, financially sta­ble
squad.
In taking a back seat in the
administrative ranks, Kirk
sacrificed a football career that
included four years of play at
Mount Carmel High School in
Auburn, N.Y. He has con­tinued
playing intramural foot­ball,
however, and is known as
one of the terrors of the Beach
Road squad.
Kirk has shown his outstand­ing
leadership abHities in
several activities here at Fair­field.
He was the Vice-Presi­dent
of last year's club and
was also Junior Class President
last year. He was a Committee
chairman for orientation and is
a member of the Marketing
and Business Clubs. A market­ing
major, he plans to join

Walker is very well
known and liked here at FaIr­field.
On weekends he can

grinning, roaming the Univer­sity
of Bridgeport campus in
his ten-gallon hat.
Without men like Kirk Walk­er,
it is doubtful that a foot­ball
club at Fairfield would
even have gotten past the plan­ning
stages. When the club fin­ally
aohieves the elusive but
inevitable first victory, the first
to be congratulated is Kirk
Walker.

It includes negotiating the

Fairfield finally got on the
scoreboard in the closing min­utes
of the game as a fumble
recovery gave the Stags the
ball on the Iona 44. A long pass
from Burke to Sullivan was
complete at the one, and from
there Burke hit Jim Garrity
in the right corner of the end
zone for a score. The run for
the P.A.T. failed, making the
final score 35-6.
Iona moved almost compiete­lyon
the ground, as they am­massed
a total of 425 yards
with 17 first downs to Fair­field's
192 yards with 11 first
downs. The Stag offense was
able to move and pick up first
downs, but fiumbles, intercept­ions
and other lapses shackled
their attack. The defense was
unable to contain Iona to the
outside, as the Gaels time and
again picked up long gains on
sweeps.
With their hopes of an open­ing
game victory shattered,
the Stags travel next to St.
Peter's in search of the alusive
victory #1. The Stags will then
continue on the road with
games against Marist and
Fordham, b e for e returning
home for contests with Prov­idence
and St. John's.

The score stood until half­time,
and the Stags opened the
second half with an on-side
kick attempt, which an Iona
lineman smothered on the Fair­field

aster for Fairfield in almost
every aspect, as the Stags were
unable to establish themselves
offensively and their defense
just couldn't stop Iona's potent
attack. The Gaels capitalized
on almost every Fairfield mis­cue
and totally dominated the
game.
After Jim Garrity ran the
opening kickoff back to the
Fairfield 30, the Stags' offen­se
looked impressive as they
quickly moved to two first
downs behind a 15 yard pass
from quarterback Brian Burke
to Garrity and some hard run­ning
by "Bullet" Devanney and
Rich Gaeta. Then disaster

The Stags were on the brink

The same problems which

and the inabillty

again in the '67 opener as a
powerful lona squad thorough­ly
demollshed Fairfield, 8541.
The game was a total dis-games

seven innings due to threaten­ing
weather. This did not di­minish
the action.
Mahoney's Third Win
Frank Mahoney, the pitching
staff's claim to fame, struck
out seven, walked only one
batter and gave up four hits
to win the opener 5-3. The win­ning
runs came in the seventh

the six runs scored by Fairfield
for the afternoon.

The hard-luck Fairfield soc­cer
team continued to stumble
along unvictoriously as they
dropped two tough decisions
this week to Fairleigh Dickin­son
and Monmouth College.
In the games against both
Jersey schools, Fairfield showed
good h.ustle and ballhandling,
but bad breaks and the inabil­ity
to score at crucial points
tagged them with the pair of
losses.
In most of their games so
far this season, the Stags have
had trouble in the early going,
and the Fairleigh Dickinson
game was no exception as Fair­leigh

period to lead 1-0

Last week, Fairfield made
its own attempt to salvage the
remaining games on the base­ball
schedule before football
fever came to stay. The Stags,
confronted with the conclusion
of the fall season, packed
plenty of excitement into the
final week and split four games
in action against New Haven
and Queens College.
Hurlle Sparks Team
First meeting New Haven in
a rescheduled rainout, Fair­fieId
won 4-3. It was a lively
battle with the Stag batters
knocking out seven hits, four
for extra bases. Dennis Hurlie
provided tihe sparks as he
went two for three, with two
walks and three stolen bases.
Sophomore Bob Gibson took
the mound for the Stags at the
same time another Gibson was
in the process of beating the
Red Sox. Fairfield's Gibson
hurled seven complete innings
for the win, achieved by a tie
breaking run in the seventh
on an RBI by John Walsh.
However, it took a spectacular
play in the ninth inning to pre­serve
the victory.
With two out and a man on
first, the New Haven hitter
blasted a drive deep in the
outfield. The baserunner sped
around the diamond with what
seemed to be the tying run.
On a perfect relay from John
Walsh and a great throw to the
plate by Pete Glllen, Barney
Monks tagged the runner out
at home in plcturebook style
to end the game.
Fairfield played New Haven
again on Friday, but lost the
grudge match 9-5, despite com­piling
twelve hits including a
four-for five affort by third
baseman Jim Hock. Bra d
Behan was ticketed with the
loss, his third this year. New
Haven scored five runs in the
first inning and three in the
second and that lead could not
be overcome.
