Heated fin.tncial discussions
ruptured the "international at­mosphere"
of the Oak Room
last Thursday evening when the
Legislature met for its third
session.
The $300 grant to the Rugby
CluJb proposed by John Talbel­lione
passed after considerable
deliberation. The recommenda­tion
of thefinan,cial committee
calling for a $200 grant and a
$100 loan was voted down for
lack of the necessary two-thirds
majority.
Lawrence Czajokski, minority
leader, led the opposition by in­sisting
that the Ruggers though
deserving should not "tradition­ally"
receive the unusually large
amount of money given them
each year. The rules were
suspended during the debate so
that Mr. Peter Madonia might
speak on the club's behalf. He

THE STAG feels that last Thursday's Peace Vigil was orderly
and a credit to those who participated.
There are however two questions which must be ratised. First,
why was the demonstration not held Tuesday when Undersecretary
Katzenbach was on campus? Certainly any emotions about the
United States involvement in Vietnam would have been better aimed
at someone from the State Department than at "the campus."
Secondly, a silent vigil for peace lacks dtirection. Certainly, the
counter-demonstrators, "supporting our boys in Vietnam," are not
opposed to peace.
There are many ambiguous issues concerning the War in Viet­nam
which might provtide stimulus for protest. The peace vigilists
should have made their views more tangible; i,n this way the demon­stration
might have had more effect.
affords a perfect c'over for van­dals.
There is no light at all il­luminating
the area and students
aften have minor accidents just
walking to their cars at night.
The "no lights" predicament was
a ridiculous concession made to
neighbors in order to construct
the new dorm.
Other incidents include the
theft of microphones in the
chapel last year and the van­dalism
of WVOF over the sum­mer.
Another nuisance is the pres­ence
of town children in the re­stricted
areas of the dormitories.
Also, with the large number of
people on campus for lectures,
mixers and the like, wtith no real
way of controlling who may wan­der
onto the property, the pos­sibility
of some very unfortunate
events looms' dangerously. Just
two years ago a Jesuit from Fair­field
Prep was stabbed.
One positive step has already
been taken: the Barlow Road
gates will be closed every night
at 11 :00.
We realize that a handful of
guards cannot be everywhere at
once. That is why a new approach
to campus security is necessary;
and it should be looked into be­fore
not after some major catas­tl'ophe
invoiving the University.
play of violence, bypassing demo­cratic
procedure, because they
realize that they hold a minority
view.
If the author of the account
found in today's STAG correctly
captured the feeling of the dem­onstration
in noting that "we re­alized
that we were breaking the
law and there was a heavy aar of
determination and commitment.
Everyone knew there would be
violence," then we can only de­plore
a recourse to violence taken
in the name of peace.
"Both the M.P.'s and students
felt themselves committed. There
could have been no discussion,
just bloodshed. There was no al­ternative.
No one, it seemed,
wanted one." We would have
thought that men demonstrating
in the name of democracy were
committed to discussion - not
bloodshed.
'Those who oppose the War in
Vietnam have every right to ex­ercise
freedom of speech and as­sembly.
· To exercise thtis right in
a violent and irresponsible way is
to betray their own cause.
With the continual inceras~ in
buildings and the overall rise in
campus populatio.n, T~E ~T'AG
feels that a close InvestIgatIOn of
the present sec~rity. syst~m at
Fairfield UniversIty IS an 1mme­ddate
necessity.
It will require more than just
the hiring of adqitional :person~el
on the part of the securIty pohce
to rectify the inadequacies that
have come to light in the past
few semesters. A complete over­haul
in the present security sys­tem
is a must.
Too much time and manpower
(of which there is little enough)
is wasted in patrolling the park~
ing lots, examining sticke~s for
possible offenders. And whIle we
are not opposed to courtesy, the
campus police car can be put to
more meaningful uses than pro­viding
limousine service for some
of the Jesuit faculty members.
Perhaps the most peIjous prob­lem
lies in the night tIme theft and
malicious mischief in the parking
areas especially Regis Hall lot.
Last year a student's locked car
was stolen from the lot and had
irreparable damage done to it.
Wtithin the past couple of weeks,
thieves have had a field day ,Pil­fering
wheel covers, mechamcal
knick knacks, and ripping aerials
off.
The nature of Regis lot itself
Last Saturday's peace demon­stration
in Washington marks
a shift from responsible, orderly
protest to a display of violent
militancy. We constantly defend
the right of dissent; we cannot
condone its illegal abuse.
Freedom of speech and assem­bly
have long been cherished in
our country. But a respect for
these beliefs necessarily implies
the responsibility to safeguard
them from abuse.
The peace demonstrators have
advocated a curious double -stan­dard.
They have condemned ~he
Johnson Administration, allegmg
that it is using the unrestrained
powers of the world's strongest
country in the interfer-ence of the
internal affairs of Vietnam; at
the same time they have at­tempted
to disrupt the activities
of the Pentagon by a display of
their own naked strength. Those
opposed to the foreign policy
argue that the United States is
supporting a government that
doesn't represent the majority of
South Vietnamese; but these same
people have attempted to impo~e
their own beliefs through a dIS-LE'ITERS
TO THE EDITOR
Can't Understand
To the Editor:
Youth Interracial Council is one of
the most important organizations on
campus. The racial riots of last sum­mer
proved this point beyond any doubt.
Youth Interracial Counoil (YIC) pro­vides
a launching pad from which we
can launch an assault on the pressing
problem of racial equality. I can't un­derstand
why YIC is not appropriated
the proper funds to carry out its pro­grarrns.
Given the appropriate funds,
YIC can effectively reduce this problem
in the area surrounding the university.
It is ridiculous that YIC cannot obtain
the funds it needs.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The fol­lowing
is the personal account
of a Fairfield student's part in
Saturday's peace demonstration
in Washington, and in particu­lar,
the storming of the Penta­gon.
The author requests that
he remain anonymous.
At 5:40 p.m. when we
stormed the Pentagon there
were about 65 M.P.'s directly in
front of us. They hit a few stu­dents
and some fell but the ma­jority
succeeded in climbing the

Advanced and Waited
Approximately 2,000 students
rushed the doorway blocking
them fully. The rest sat down
before the steps. On the. side
where we broke through, the
M.P.'s allowed us to advance.
We sat down and waited. We
realized that we were breaking
the law and there was a heavy
air of determination and com­mitment.
Everyone knew there would
be violence. The crowd, as op­posed
to the march, was all
college students, no real hippies,
a few girls. There was a fan­tastic
air of solemnity.
, M.P.'s Started Out
The dOQrs of the Pentagon
opened and the M.P.'s started
out. They rifle-butted, kicked,
punched, and billy-clubbed the
students out of the way. The
students generally did not fight
back. About four students were
splattered with blood.

Katzenbac.h Addresses 350 on Vietnam, Civil Rights
Defends Administration Policy
Before Student Body
Replying to a question about the credibility gap, Mr. Katzen­bach
explains that certain classified information is kept from
the people by every government.
By BILL BERTIER
Speaking at the annual Fair·
field University Progress Din·'
ner, Undersecretary of State,
Nicholas Katzenbach declared
that "our commitments to the
South Vietnamese are far bet·
ter grounded than were those
to South Korea at the time of
the conflict there."
Following dinner and an im­pressive
performance by the
Campus Minstrels, who were
well received by the crowd of
350; Congressman Donald Irwin
(D-Conn.) spoke of the value
of private education. The lack
of such education would be, in
his words, "a very serious con­sequence"
inasmuch as it pro­vides
an opportunity for a dif­ferent
outlook on certain as­pects
of American life from
that of a state-run university.
University Aims
Also speaking on private ed-
'ucation and the aims of Fair­field
University, Mr. Richard
Joyce Smith, a trustee of Fair­field,
pointed out that "We must
educate young citizens to meet
the challenges of our time, and,
we must also consider the prob­lems
of Vietnam, the draft,
drugs, Black Power and pov­erty."
The highlight of the evening,
however, was Mr. Katzenbach's
speech during which he noted
that "it is nice to know that a
member of this Administration
can be invited to a PROGRESS
dinner without raiBlng a credib·
ility issue."
Administration Guidelines
Katzenbach, in reiterating
the Administration's guidelines
on Vietnam, said that since
April, 1965 "we have urgently
and ceaselessly sought every
opening and followed every
lead, no matter how thread­'
bare, that could bring North
Vietnam to the conference
Such pertinent topics as the
credibility gap, civil disobedi­ence,
and the purpose of the
American press were discussed
in a student forum with Un­dersecretary
of State' Nicholas
Katzenlbach. The basic format
of the program saw a panel of
students question the state de­partment
official.
Certain Secrets
Concerning the credibility
gap Katzenbach said that there
are "certain secrets" that all
governments must keep from
the public. He went on to say
that "I don't think that he
(Johnson) does conceal infor­mation
from the American pub­lic.
If it has, it has been con­cealed
from me too."

table." While supporting the
bombing of the North, he said
"We do not seek to destroy
North Vietnam or to threaten
its regime."
In drawing a parallel be­tween
the Korean War and
the Vietnam conflict, Katzen­bach
expressed puzzlement as
to the opposition of some lib­erals
to the U.S. policy in Viet­nam,
many of whom "sup-porten.
President Truman in a
policy of limited war in Korea."
Eliminate Inequality
In the area of civil rights
Mr. Katzenbach noted th!it the
Administration has been trying
to eliminate "the remnants of
legally sanctioned inequality"
by urging "passage of bills pro­hibiting
discrimination in the
sale, rental and financing of
housing and in t1:le selection of
federal and state juries."
He called the riots of the last
two summers boilings over of
frustration due to "the great in­equalities
of opportunity which
exists in jobs, in housing and
in education." He went on to
, tie all this in with the poverty
program claiming that the prob­lems
of slums, poor education,
etc. are "not simply Negro
problems" but rather problems
that confront all Americans re­gardless
of race or origin.
Following Mr. Katzenbach's
address, Mr. Gerald J. Phelan,
architect and benefactor, was
presented with an award for
his "many coatributions to ed­ucation
and pa,rticularly Fair·
field."
Zsa Zsa Ovation
Fr. McInnes, S.J., extended
his thanks to all the guests for
their interest in the progress
of Fairfield University. Com­menting
on lhe standing ova·
tion received by Mr. Katzen­bach
at the r::onclusion of the
student forum, he noted that
"the last person to receive such
an honor was Zsa Zsa Gabor."
The master Of ceremonies was

benediction was given by Rabbi

a clean high power rifle from
half a mile away. Walker de­stroys
them because they are
quite simply no match.
The reason that Walker is a
barbarian is never explored;
that would lead to questions of
good .and bad, and there just
aren't any good-guys and bad­guys
any more. For many years
it has been very difficult to get
a Hollywood tough guy hero
with a completely pure heart.
Bogart, in this role, never had
one, nor Brando, nor James
Dean. But there was always a
stated reason why these men
had gone bad, and usually near
the films end they could be
depended upon to give lip ser­vice
to some sort of ethic, (and
then have the big fist or gun
fight). The Bond spy films were
much closer to amorality since
the only way to tell the hero
was to wait and see who got
his paycheck from a respectable
government. With Walker in
"Point Blank" we have reached
the point where the hero does
not have a soul to be !black
white, or gray. '
We can rejoice because real
tough guys are back in southern
California; but "Point Blank",
outside of this, serves no pur­pose.
It luxuriates in good old
violence with little drama and
no plot sophistication, presum­ably
for violence's sake. But the
old films were acceptable be­cause
the plot channeled the
violence to purposes. Somehow
this made it believable to a ra­tional
mind and perhaps in­structive.
At the end of "Point
Blank", Walker stares at his
pile of money once more in de­serted
Alcatraz, exactly where
he started out. All the gore and
action had made a big circle
and proved nothing. The film
comments intelligently on itself
by ending with a long study of
Marvin's attempt at a "what's
it all about" face. We don't
exactly yawn, but are definitely
not cathariszed.
Michael Bennett superbly
choreographs a hippie number
and another called "I Wonder
How rt Is to Dance with a
Boy," hut the book, music and
lyrics are instantaneously non­recallable,
and the two girls,
who really have to carry the
show, are played by two young
performers who don't offer
much that is special.

Mostly I though, this story
about two young girls who fall
in love from afar with a dandy­ish
composer and cause his life
endless difficulties is treated
in banal fashion; little has
spark to it.
violent. His opponents are the
epitome of modern film tough
guy s. They wear tasteful
clothe;;, work from penthouse
offices, and in general look and
act more respectable than the
respectable people. They know
nothing about fist fighting, not
even the new spy dirtyfighting
tricks which "Playboy" pub·
'1ishes regularly. Their favorite
method of rubbing out is with

of moving pictures. "Henry,
Sweet Henry" just doesn't have
enough comparably marvelous
stage effects.
There is a moment when
suave composer Henry Orient
(smoothly played by that living
personality poster, Don Arne·
che) conducts his "Symphony
for 'the Human Body, meant
to express the story of man
from his emergence from pri­meval
slime to 5:30 this after­noon".
It has one movement
called "silence," which i;; just
that, and another in which four
lady musicians practice a form
of chiropracty on the bodies of
five male musicians, getting
the i I' noises from popping
fingers and snapping necks.
T'nere is also a funny farce
scene in which Henry and the
shy Scarsdale matron he's been
trying to seduce for six months
are caught with their shades up
and their pants down by the
police who have been informed
up, one level at a time, in the
interest of righteous greed.
Lee Marvin can be very
primitive looking when he wants
to. He can also be devoid of
compassion to a point that
would shame Dereck Flint.
With the camera's aid in
"Point Blank", he is either
sitting primevally still, inscrut­ably
peering out at the world,
or doing something extremely
feat which none of the real in­habitants
had ever pulled off.
The plot from there is not over­ly
complex. Marvin, called just
"Walker," wants his money
back. That's the sum total
of his motivation; the stolen
wife is very secondary. The fel­low
who robbed him was a
minor light in the "organiza­tion,"
and Walker will eventu­ally
knock off the entire set
"Henry, Sweet Henry" followE "Sweet Char ity," "Illya Darling" and "She Loves Me" in the
current vogue for adapting musical comedies from popular films (it was taken from "The World
of Henry Orient").
All of "Henry's" predecessors failed in some way: "Sweet Charity" was dishonest with its
material; "Illya Darling" tried to translate itself literally from filrrn to stage, and discovered that
the two media are not the
same and can not do the same
things; "She Loves Me" dealt
with material that was basically
sugary and shopworn. "Henry"
faJils also, but differently: its
effects are rarely as successful,
as stage effects, as the film's
were in a filmic sense.
I remember a scene in the
movie "Henry Orient" show­ing
the two schoolgirls about

In "Point Blank" Lee Marvin
and his script writers bring the
tough guy back to his former

they go too far. Marvin is pre­sented
in the film as a sort of
tough guy's superman.
For openers, he is robbed of
his half of a sizeable heist plu;;
his wife and left for dead in
present-day deserted Alcatraz.

By PAUL KEMEZIS
For a while now the film
"tough guy" has been anything
but tough. Especially with the
coming of James Bond and his
various descendants, it seems
there are only three require­ments
for toughnes;;: 1) a very
sharp, impressive jaw, 2) the
ability to get on well with wo­men
at all times, 3) a herd of
clever script writers to invent
thousands of outlandish gad·
gets which enabled the hero to
do his dirty work without get­ting
his hair mussed. These
components got the job done
with plenty of spectacle all
right, but they were hardly
more effective than the old time
tough guy's fists, small every­day
revolver, and basic hard­ness
of spirit.
From the audience's point of
view, the cathartic value of the
long old-fashion fist or gun
fight at fi'lms end lbetween two
carefully developed characters
who meant something is un­deniable.
A fine example is that
final struggle between Lee Cobb
and Marlon Brando in "On The
Waterfront." In comparison, I
question the satisfaction en­gendered
by the colorful blow­ing
up of Dr. X's laboratory in
film after film, which besides
giving on-looker;; a basically
false "charge," usually tidies up
the most complex counterespi­onage
plot by simply eliminat­ing
all untidy ends.
"Where are you going my little one, my little one? Where
are you going my loved one, my own?"
This is thE:' present administration's view of NATO in West­ern
Europe. DeGaulle has withdrawn France's military commit­ment
to the NATO Alliance, and his form of Western European­ism
- namely, independence and self-reliance fOl' the European ­is
overcoming Western Europe. Our administration is turning its
head to this growth of Europeanism with the hope that the U.S.
can hold on to its influence within Europe through NATO. Under­secretary
of State Katzenbach expressed this current policy when
he stated in our question-answer panel discussion that there is an
absolute need for the existence of NATO withi.n Europe to deal
with the Soviet Block.
NATO from the Second World War has been a useful alliance
to moderate Stalinist expansion. But Europe for the past few
years has been realizing its economic rebirth through the Com­mon
Market and other free trade communities; and, with this
and through the Europeanism of DeGaulle, the people of Western
Europe are realizing that they are European.
With the future, the U.S. must avoid the danger of this
Western Europeanism. Most of our leaders realize this growing
Europeanism; but, unfortunately, many wish to continue our
military commitment and influence through an innovated NATO.
It is their ,belief that NATO should be continued on the basis of
an equal partnership concept where Western Europe would re­ceive
equal leadership in an integrated Atlantic defense alliance.
But Western Europeanism shall eventually strive for inde­pendence
and self-reliance just as Gaull'ism has done within
France. Western Europe sha~l be wary of integration in any

sphere, especially the sphere of the military. West Germany is
beginning to realize its position as an economically strong state;
and, urged on by France, it is beginning to see itself as a Euro­pean
nation rather than through the traditional American eyes
that each European nation is an Atlantic power with responsibili­ties
to the Atlantic community.
The French challenge to the American concept of the Atlantic
alliance has presented to this country a whole host of problems.
The main one which is surely to be raised when the NATO
treaties expire in early 1970 shall be what type of Europe shall be
to America's best interest. We mIght try to manipulate an At­lantic
alliance with what some consider to be our best interests.
But we must not.
We must recognize this Europeanism so that it doesn't result
in our undoing. We must eventually withdraJW our standing mili­tary
commitment in Western Europe and realize Western Europe
as a third force within the politics of the world. It can never be
to our advantage to attempt to continue an alliance system where
Western Europe is the Greece to our Rome.
DeGaulle is the prophet of the future of Western Europe and,
possibly, of all Europe. The independence and self-reliance of
GauBism shall be the political and mHitary philosophies of the
future Western Europe.
'If America attempts to perpetuate her influence through an
Atlantic military alliance where we station forces in Europe, she
shall alienate the coming Western Europe. To prevent this, when
its treaties expire, NATO should and must be phased out of the
American mentality and the European continent. What comes
afterwards is up to an autonomous Western Europe.

For years the administration, faculty, and student organiza­tions

apathy shown by the student body here at Fairfield. Recently this
desire for student commitment has taken the form of an advoca­tion

And in spite of some disagreements over exactly what form
this new student activism should take, it is becoming increasingly
apparent that Fairfield University is finally beginning to arise
from the depths of lethargy in which it had been submerged.
Students here are beginning to show a strong desire to take a
leading role in shaping the world which they have inherited. Some
are seeking changes in the small academic community of which
they are a part, while others are attempting to remedy the ills
of our national community. The anti-war demonstrations of last
week, the creation of the "Free University," the activities of the
"Student Action Movement," the "Youth Interracial Council"
and the "Fairfield University Community Action Program" are all
manifestations of the students' desire to change their environment.
This new spirit of activism may seem dangerous and may
even be regarded as a threat by those who have grown used to
living with apathy. This shouldn"t be. -The cen of Fairfield are
merely expressing a desire that is predominant in members of
their generation. They are dissatiS'fied with the "status quo'" and
are attempting to bring about change.
It is now the burden of those groups that so loudly con­demned
the old apathy to give encouragement to the new ac­tivism.
Perhaps the greatest responsibility in this area belongs
to the administration. The future of student activity depends
upon how the administration reacts to it. The University must
show itself to be responsive to the demands of its memlbers. This
doesn't mean that the s'chool has to give in to all the desires of
its pupils, but it does mean that it must show respect for their
decisions. If those who are in authority really wish to encourage
the activism that they have been pleading for, then they must
a{:cept student power as a reality. Most important they must be
willing to deal with the student body openly and truthfully. A
university trains men to think; it cannot expect them to turn
off their thoughts upon leaving the classroom. Instead it must
be prepared to deal in a rational way with rational beings who
have rational desires.

"Katzenbach did what he had

There was also a great
amount of disappointment in
the type of questions that were
asked. Edward Trzinski, '70,
felt that "the questions were
the same ones you hear day in
and day out." "He wasn't chal­lenged"
said Anthony Palumbo,
'68, "and it appeared as if the
que s t ion s were carefully
screened to avoid anything that
would em'barrass the Johnson
Administration, Mr. Katzenlbach
or Fairfield UnJiversity."
Mr. Robert Griffin, Director
of Student Services, said that
the task of getting questions
was left up to the five junior
a'ld senior history or govern­ment
majors who were chosen
sometime on Monday afternoon;
Time Problem
"The time element was a
problem" Mr. Griffin added
that his "only fear was that he
(Katzenba~h) would get a ques­tion
that would take twenty
mdnutes to answer." According
to him the questions represented
"an attempt to get a good
cross-section" of student and
faculty interest.

ing thing of the Monk story is
that he never changed his style
regardless of the criticism lev­elled
at him, but developed it, .
and it grew ::is his genius flow­ered.
To hear Monk play in the
Forties is like hearing him play
today. He still uses unexpected
pauses and elbow cords, and
still produces what I consider
to be the most interesting
rhythms in jazz. Monk's music
has long been the subject of
much analysis. His music has
been described as "harsh,"
"lean," and "angular." But at
the same tiine he has produced
such incrediJbIy beautiful songs
as "Round Midnight" and "Ruby
My Dear." Like all geniuses,
people and especia'1ly so called
jazz critics, try to put Monk in
a certain mold for easy clas­sification,
but this is impossible.
Monk's music is alive and de­nies
all classification except for
the word jazz, that is what it is.
Today Monk's music is stu­died
at the JuHiard School of
Music along with that of all
the other great composers. It
is too bad that the American
public has little knowledge of
a l}1an, and his music, who some
day will undoubtedly rank
among the great musical minds
of the Twentieth Century. One
honor, if it is to be called an
honor, that Monk did receive
was to have his picture on the
cover of Time Magazine in Feb­ruary
of 1964. Let's hope that
when Monk leaves the jazz
scene for the last time that he
will not leave it in obscurity
as have so many jazz greats.

Magazine article, Coil "aims
only incidentally to help
those in need; his main goal
is to involve different kinds
of people, to get them in

each other."

an accurate job of informing
the people as to what is hap­pening
in Vietnam? Yes, said
Katzen-bach. "If they aIways
printed just what the govern­ment
would like to read they
wouldn't be doing the job of a
free press. And I guess one
could say they must be doing
the job very well because I
don't like a lot of what.I read."
Many Disappointed
In a spot check of on-campus
opinion on the forum most stu­dents
expressed disappointment
concerning· Mr. Katzenbach's
answers but, as Rdbert Mc­Cann
'68, explained, "Many
people were expecting some­thing
radi~ally different from
the 'party line,' but not being
an elected official and being
part of the Administration he
(Katzenbach) couId not be ex­pected
to have such opinions."

With his second rebirth
Monk became, once again, the
center of new attention and in­terest.
He was performing
nightly at the Five Spot when
he was asked to record for Col­umbia
records. His first album
for Columbia appeared in Jan­uary
of 1963 and was called
"Monk's Dream." This album
will become, if it hasn't already,
a jazz classic.
Since then the story of The­lonious
Monk reads somewhat
like a fairy tale. He made an

The discussion over the origin
of Jazz is a never ending argu­ment
usually involving people
who care little about the art
form or wish to downgrade the
art in some way. Regardless of
whether Jazz started with the
primitive drum beats of the
Africans or with the slave work
songs in the South, all the ele­ments
of what we now term
"Modern Jazz" came together
in a small :::afe in New York
City on Fifty Second Street
called Minton's Playhouse. The
men who gathered there for the
early morning jam sessions
were and are the fathers of
Modern Jazz.
At Minton's were men like
Charles Bird Parker, Lester
Young, Dizzy Gillespie, Charles
Mingus, Miles Davis and many
others. Also present at these
sessions was a man who is un­doubtedly
one of the most ori­ginal
and influential of all jazz
musicians, Thelonious Sphere
Monk. Monk, above all things,
has an individual style which,
like the great Charles Parker,
no one has ever been able to
imitate. Once you have heard
Monk play you can never mis­take
hiJrn for someone else or
someone else for him.
Monk started out playing L'1
the "bebop" style and grew
rapidly, in fact his growth was
too quick for most of the other
musicians and as his genius
flourished his fellow musicians
could not keep up with him.
As a result of his rapid de­velopment
he lost his hold on
steady jdbs because the other
musicians found it difficult to
accompany his lean, dissonant
style of playing. Through most
of .the Fifties very little was
heard about Monk and many
thought that jazz was passing
him by. During these years
Monk suffered many setbacks.
He was arrested and spent sixty
days in jail; and, as a result
of his arrest, he lost his cab­aret
card which all entertain­ers
must have in order to work
in the New York City night
clubs.
Finally, in 1957, Monk made
it back to the jazz scene as he
was able to regain his cabaret
card. His reappearance came at
the Five Spot Cafe, a jazz "club
in the East Village. The work
he did there with the late John
Coltrane became the talk of
jazz. The music had a new life
to it and the Monk rhythms
were alive 'lnd exciting. But
once again Monk became in­volved
in unexpected trouble
and he slipped from the scene
again. Two years past and
Monk returned again this time

More Letters to Editor
Dormitory Dirt
To the Editor:
In the few weeks that classes have
been in session there has been growing
discontent among the freshmen concern­ing
the liVing conditions.
As one enters Loyola Hall through
the south entrance he is greeted by a
repulsive odor that is not uncommon to
railroad station men's rooms and a scene
that resembles a litter-strewn highway.
The rooms are kept somewhat cleaner
but that is about all that can be s'aid
in defense of the current room setup.
Most rooms have only two desks and
dressers which must be shared by three
roommates in a small cubicle into which
a third bed has been jammed. There
are many other inconveniences that
might be considered to be minor, but
which nevertheless are very, very an­noying.
We feel that we are paying for some­thing
that we are not getting. It seems
that it would only be fair for each
student to be given a ref-und of some
sort.
I am sure that the freshmen are very
interested in what the candidates for
president of the class of '71 have to
say about this.
Sincerely,

SAM Says
To the Editor:
A'i; a member of the Student Action
Movement, I would like to take excep­tion
With several points made in the
STAG editorial of October 18 regarding
this group. 1) The assertion that we are
"United under the banner of 'liberal­ism'"
is false. It has been. and will be
the policy of SAM to encourage students
of all political persuations to make their
views known and to 3ssist them to do
so. 2) Our alleged "inactivity" has been
the product of the painstaking but nec­essary
effort to organize the SAM so
that it will be an effective "democratic
representative of the student body," and
not just a screaming mob. 3) As a point
of fact, SAM has set up four (4) com­mittees
"in its short history." Surely
this is not an .iincredilble number."
SAM will experience as many organ­izational
difficulties as any new, broad­ly
based organization . . . and probably
more, if the events of t11e last week are
any indrcation. What SAM is to become
is in lal'ge measure up to the individual
student in this universitY. Too many
students merely want to be told what
to do rather than initiate action them­selves.
SAM is their voice. Let them
use it.

Twelve Angry Men
To the Editor:
As students who had been anticipat­ing
a meaningful exchange of view­points
at Mr. Katzenbach's visit to Fair­field,
we were bitterly disappointed at
the farcical display which took place.
The plans for direct student representa­tion
never materialized, the students
picked (by Whom?) represented no one
(and thus had no background on which
to base their questions and no point of
view fram which to follow them up).
Further, there was no effort made to
irJtorm the student body how they could
ask their questions.
Mr. Katzenbach is and should have
been treated like a public officer, I.e.,
a servant of the people. He was, how­ever,
treated like some kind of prince
who had to be protected from the in­quiring
(dangerous? ) peons. He was
allowed, encouraged, tc toss off pre­fOl'mulated
answers to innocuous ques­tions.
His often irrelevant answers were
not challenged. Indeed, his questioners
seemed to be overawed by the mere
presence of the celebrity
The students of Fairfield University
deserve to be better served, better rep­resented,
and better ans'wered than they
were on Oct. 17, We wish to express our
dismay and demand that the adminis­tration

Praise For Carpenter
To the Editor:
I believe a very grave injustice has
been done to a very dedicated repre­sentative
of the Class of 1970. On
Thursday, Oct. 19, 1967 Mr. Robert
Carpenter tendered his resignation to
legislature of our Student Government.
The reason for his resignation was the
lack of interest and support shown him
by his constituents.
In a recent letter in THE STAG, Mr.
Carpenter was accused of "political buf­foning"
and "bi:llknapping." Any person
who was interested could have found
out that these charges were completely
unfounded. But few people showed even
the slightest interest in this serious
matter.
Mr. Carpenter was also accused of
having political ambitions. I certainly
hope that a man with Mr. Carpenter's
dedication and ability would be willing
to continue to serve his constituents,
in the future.
How can we expect a man to care
about representing people, when the
people ti1emselves don't care? I am per­sonaliy
going to give the Student Gov­ernment
a petition for the reelection of
Mr. Carpenter. I sincerely hope that
election day the members of the Class
of '70 will show Mr. Carpenter that we
do care, and appreciate a jab well done
in the post, and realize the need for
continuance of such.
Sincerely,
Leonard Amato '70

Gratitude
To the Editor:
I am very gratefUl to THE STAG
for the excellent coverage it gave to
the study conducted recently under my
direction by the Sociology Department.
The article was especially good since it
was draiWIl from the rather obscure
pages of a scholarly, and therefore tech­nical,
report.
It would only be fair, however, for
me to take ex'ception to the headline
of the article. This headline, concen­trating
as it did on the word "theology,"
gave the impression to many that the
results were directed at, and changes
were required in, the Theology Depart­ment
eX'c1usively. Nothing could be less
true.
As a matter of fact, the study was
directed at the total presentation of
Christianity on this campus - including
theology courses, but including as well,
and perhaps more importantly, liturgy,
retreats, the presence of Jesuits on cam­pus,
and all the minor actions that are
meant to characterize the school as
"Catholic." If the school is failing in its
Christian mission to any degree, the
Theology Department is by no means
the only culprit.
Sincerely yours,
Leo F. Fay, S. J.

rule by a minority as long as it pro­duces
the semblance of "choice" and
internal stability. To me this seems
blantantly the logic of power, not of
democracy, even a fledgling democracy.
But to his critical choice, based' on the
concept of the lesser of "two evils, we
may compare the evil of escalating
American involvement and the evil of
reneging on a political commitment.
There appears now sufficient reason for
thinking that the greater of the two
evils is the continued and spiraling U.S.
presence and its attendant carnage.
There are cogent and intelligent ar­guments
for U.S. involvement. The real
tragedy of the evening was that Mr.
Katzenlbach did not attempt to present
these arguments to a group of young
men, many of whom will be called upon
to die, in consequence of the U.S. policy
based on these arguments.

Why No Funds?
To the Editor:
As an incoming freshman, I expected
to find a student Christian group that
was supported fully by the student body.
I expected this in light of Vatican II
and its new s,pirit of true Christian
love for our fellow man.
However, upon attending the first
meeting of the Youth Interracial Coun­cil,
I learned that it was barely hang­ing
on to existence because it has no
money to operate with. It has a con­stitution
recognized by the Student Gov­ernment
and everyone of its members
has pcuid the activities fee.
I would ,like to know the reason why
it is so diffic~t for an organization
such as this to receive operating funds.
Those who oppose it in the Student
Legislature may say that the members
should pay dues. They do but this' is
not enough. Besides, for guys who give
freely of their time, why must they
also pay through the nose for their
services?
The YIC is an organization whi"ch
brings the school before the public and
it has made a very favorable impression.
Its various groups need transportation
and the folk singers need a sound sys­tem
to be heard by larger audiences.
The Youth Interracial Council has a
definite effect on the school's image. Is
it the will of the student body that this
very excellent image be lost? I hope
that those who block the passage of
funds for the YIC will reconsider and
realize that the YIC is vital to the
school.
Sincerely yours,
David Dzurec, '71

Complaint
To the Editor:
Last week the student body was ad­dressed
by Mr. Nicholas Katzenlbach;
or perhaps I should say he addressed
himself to a series of pre-censored ques­tions,
delivered by an equally selected
panel. The disadvantages of such an
arrangement were evident, since the
form of questioning, for the most part,
precluded fo1'lowing up points of a par­ticular
answer. I am sure 'no one in the
audience expected a major governmental
policy address; Ibut I do think we were
entitled to more than the endless re­hashing
of 'cliche and the logic of power
with which we were presented.
To one question in particular, a ques­tion
built on the fact that only one-ninth
of the population of South Vietnam had
voted for the Thieu-Ky regime, the di­rect
consequence of Mr. Katzenbach's
reply was that the U.S. will support
Prefects Imperfect
To the Editor:
This year has brought many new
things to Fairfield. Five hundred fresh­men,
new freedom, and NEW PRE­FECI'S.
These new prefects are what I'm con­cerned
with in this letter. On any given
day of the week at either lunch or din­ner
when the meal lines wind up and
down the room, a select few of these
prefects, who consider themselves se­lect,
will proceed to the front of these
lines and get served.
Now, I'm not particularly in that
much of ,c hurry to receive what Szabo
has been serving, but the point of the
matter is that these prefects are assum­ing
a great deal by their actions. and I
believe that these few people, who are
better than the rest of us peons, should
grow up and prove that they are worthy
of the positions they hold and stop play­ing
at B.M.O.C.
Unapathetically sincere,

making love to a woman. It
can't be done in a vacuum. If
the woman doesn't cooperate,
it is called rape. War and peace
are the same things because
you can't have peace if the
other side won't cooperate."
Unrelated' Vigil
A "totally unrelated" peace
vigil held on Gonzaga lawn that
afternoon was organized to
urge the Johnson Administra­tion
to take the first steps in
ending the war and "to express
deep sorrow and protest at
Americans killing and being
killed in Vietnam." "The vigil
unified those who 'believe the
war is worth questioning,"
stated William O'Brien, one of
the organizers.
Many of the war protestors
held different opinions as to
why they were there. One stu·
dent was there "in memory of
those who died in Vietnam ­whether
necessarily or unneces·
sarily is another question."
Some were present to "demand
that the Johnson Administra·
tion consider the importance of
the moral question besides poli.

tested as an "expression of op·
position" to the war.

Last week's exciting 24-21
win over Marist could not have
been achieved had not the Fair­field
defense been able to stop
the potent Marist attack sev­eral
times deep in Fairfield ter­ritory.
At these crucial points
it was dbvious fuat the· man
who was encouraging, .urging,
and demanding the defensivp.
squad to make the necessary
effort was senior linebacker
Tony Labesky.
Labesky is clearly the leader
of the defensive squad, both
vocally and in physical example.
That the defensive unit was
able to hold on those crucial
fourth-and-inches situations is
a reflection of the determina­tion
and spirit of the squad and
the leadership and inspiration
of Labesky.
It is belaboring the point to
state that this year'~ team, by
its outstanding performance so
far, has shown itself to be in­finitely
superior to its prede­cessor.
According to Tony, '.'As
compared to last year's team,
th~ tremendous difference in
this year's squad is its' unity
and spirit, which enabled us to
bounce back from our opening
game loss with a determination
and drive that is just fantastic."
It is <lQvious to observers that
the man who best exemplifies
this fantastic drive and spirit,
October 25, 1967 THE STAG Page Nine
O'Donoghue Spearheads Weak Attack
"Three cheers for Coach Curtis." There was a
rOar. "Three cheers for the coach's wife." More hol­lering.
"Three cheers for Don Huston." The assistant
coach received his share of approval.
"Three cheers for the bus driver."
"Only if he gets us home early."
So the Football Club rode oqt of Poughkeepsie,
the conquering heroes, toasting" everyone and every­thing.
There was no reason why they shouldn't have.
Down 14-0 against Marist, they broke a year long hex
by coming from behind to win the most thrilling game
the club has ever played.
On the long ride home there was a special treat.
Over the radio came a play-by-play recording of the
afternoon's game. It was beautiful. The players laughed
at a situation that only an hour or two ago had them
all badly tensed. The Marist announcer, in an effort to
hold the listeners' interest after the Vikings' two swift
touchdowns, said not to count Fairfield out yet, they
still had some tricks up their sleeves. He sounded like
a prophet.
Of course the biggest trick was the final score,
24-21. Last year Marist won 20-0. This year the Stags
have made a few discoveries. Among them are how to
make clutch plays, and how to play exciting football.
If you weren't there, ask ,the defense about big
plays. They wi'll texplain the tensi'()IJ1 in thesec.ond half
of Saturday's ball game 'when time and again they rose
to stop the ,smoo,th passing and deceptive .running of
the Marist team. The offense will boast of brilliant
scoring strikes from every position 1()IJ1 the field. They
are both telling the truth. This victory was an effort
that ,surpassed any :successful sporting event at Fair­field
since the basketball team beat Boston College
two years ago.
An elderly Marist graduate congratulated Coach
CUI'bis and then the whole team just before the bus
pulled away from the field. He was overwhelmed by
the desire and spirit that was displayed. And the Foot­ball
Club did it alone.
'Finally, a little kid ran around the players as they
made their way off the field after the final gun. He
kept taunting, "Get a game with the Hudson Valley
Crusaders." I don't know who the Crusaders. are, nor
how well they play. But next week the Stags have a
game with Fordham UIlJiversity. They are good enough.
Three cheers that the Football Club will make it
three in a row.

Stags to place were Joe De­Cresce

broke loose. With only a min­ute

hard kick tbrough the goal.
Continuing its lightning attack,
Southern immediately brought
the ball back, and in a series
of assists Wally Caldwell slam­med
it into the net to make
the score 3-0.
Later in the period, relent­less
Jake Bomerine scored his
third goal of' the game on an

Fairfield came on strong in

the Stags were unable to score.

very much back into the gBlT'e.
O'Reilly's plaCement split the

to 2~21 with four minutes

Disaster Averted
The Vikings' on-side kick at­tempt
very nearly worked, but
the Stags collared the bounc­ing
football on their 38. Marist
was given a tremendous break
two plays later as a Burke
pass was pilfered to give the
Vikings 'three minutes in which
to move ,45 yards for a win.
After a first down brought the
ball to the 'n, Pete Halas saved
the day again as he picked off
a pass near the goal line and
sped 95 yards down the side­Hnes
for a TD. A clipping pen­a'lty
nullified the score but the
Stags were given possession on
the 35 to make Halas' heroics
worthwhile.
Two plays later, the gun
sounded and the exultant Stags
stormed off the field with their
second straight triumph. This
win was even more bnpressive
than the first, as the ,Stags
showed tremendous poise in
weathering the early ditficulties

second half to avenge last year's

from anywhere on the field, as
it was later to do.
After "Bullet" Devanney ran
the second-half kick-off back to
the 25, the Stags began to
move. A pass from Burke to
Garrity brought the Stags to
the Marist 29. This golden op­portunity
was lost, however,
when a jarring tackle caused
Devanney to fumble on the 22,
with Marist recovering. De­spite
this bad break, the mo­mentum
had clearly swung to
Fairfield.
After a series of punts, the
Stags took 0ver on their 20.
Burke was thrown for a loss
back to the 9 on first down.
On second down, he faded back
and passed deep to John Con­roy
who caught it at midfield
with two defenders draped over
him.
On a run that defies descrip·
tion, Conroy somehow slipped
free from the defenders and
eiuded three more on his way
to an electrifying 91 yard
touchdown. The run failed, but
Ma.rist's lead bad been cut to
14·12.
The score stood unchanged
until early in the fourth quar­ter.
After defensive back Pete
Halas had stopped a Marist
threat With an interception, the
Stags took over at midfield.
Aided by a fine block frOm
George Langley, Burke swept
around right end and scampered
50 yards to paydirt. Fairfield
continued to have trouble with
the extra point, as Devanney
was stopped short of the goal,
but the Stags had finally come
back to take the lead 18-14.
Fake Punt
The defense quickly forced a
punt, and the Stags had the
ball again on their own 24. Two
first downs brought the ball to
the 45, where Fairfield was
faced with a fourth-and-five sit­uation.
From a punt formation,
the ball was snapped to Burke,
who caught the Vikings flat­footed
on a perfectly called play
and jaunted untouched 50 yards
for a score.
At this point, the game
seemed wrapped up, but the

Marist received the opening
kick and went to work imme­diately
at the Fair,field 33. Vi­king
quarterback Jim Conroy
mixed his plays beautifully as
three completions into the left
flat plus several off-tackle slants
and power sweeps resulted in
five first downs and a goal-to-go
on the Fairfield four. From
there, Conroy dove into the end
zone on an off-tackle slant to
climax the brilliant drive and
give Marist a 6-0 lead. The Vi­kings'
soccer-style kicker, Bill
O'Reilly, converted to make it

Things then went from bad
to worse for the Stags. The of­fense
couldn't move and was

New York, where a tremendous
second-half comelback by the
Fairfield Stags netted them a
24-21 victory over Marist.
The game seemed to be
played in two parts. In the first
section, a powerful Marist run­ning
attack pushed the "flat"
and sluggish Fairfield line all
over the field, thoroughly con­trolling
the baU while the Fair­field
offense languished on the
bench.
The second part of the game
saw the Stag defense puII it­self
together, come through
with two clutch interceptions,
and contain the Vikings in sev­eral
crucial situations. The de­fense
was thus able to give the
ball to the offense, which put
on a tremendous show with a
razzle-dazzle attack which re-

In a week of weird ups and
downs, two lntramural foot­hall
teams were eliminated from
competition while the Campion
2 and Fairfield Beach clubs
still managed to lead their re­spective
leagues.
Lantern Point and Loyola 2
South were both dropped from
the gridiron race as they for­feited
their second co~test of
the season. This violated the
"no show" rule which automa-·
tically excludes a team from its
league if they twice fail to field
a squad.
The action that did tllke place
was close .and furious with the
average number of points scoreq
in a game being four.. Campion
2 squeaked past the freshmen
from Loyola 1 hy the score of
2-0. In the. tight contest the
vaunted Cam~ion scoring punch
lay dormant as a mere safety
provided the margin of victory,
and kept the League B leaders
from an embarrassing upset.
Fairfield Beach overpowered
their opponents, Regis 1, 19-0
to . rem a i n undefeated and
strengthen their hold of the
number one position in League
A.
There were no less than
three scoreless ties in the week,
as high wind., and just good
defense kept the scoring low.
The cost of a point became in­creasingly
high. In addition to
Campion 2, Regis 2 and Gon­zaga
Ground won without a
point scored on offense. Regis

Injuries, bad hands, sloppy
passes, poor serum pursuit, and
weak kicking were the key er­rors
committed by Fairfield in
Saturday's battle against a
well-rested Drew team, as the
Red Ruggers went down to a
16-5 defeat.
The home team scored the
first three of their sixteen points
by converting a penalty kick
from the Stags' 35 in the mid­dle
of the first half. The Fair­field
fifteen came bouncing back
as Bill Cosgriff won the hooks
and Chris Grauert snatched the
line-outs to lead the Big Red
do-wnfield. However, an alert
Drew center intercepted a float­ing
FaiI'lfield lateral and raced
it back to the Stag 10 to break
the Red attack. The green and
yellow's lock broke through the
line and crossed the goal to
give Drew an 8-0 lead at half
time.
In the early second half. the
Drew offense couldn't move the
ball against the Big Red reo
sistance, but towards the mid­dle
of the period the Stag de­fense
started to weaken. Sud­denly
the team collapsed as the
inside backs twice dropped easy
passes which Drew fly-hacked
downfield, and pushed right
over the retreating outside
backs, the wings and fullback,
while the ;;mrsuitless serum
watched. Down by a 16-0 mar­gin,
Mike Fox .rallied the de­jected
backs for their first try
of the year; a good pass from
"Fatty" Maher to Mark Feeley
gave the ruggers three and
Beef Smith made a successful
conversion for the Fairfield
points in the 16-5 rout.
