Somewhere between its optimistic conception and its present
existence, the Fairfield University Student Government has lost the
respect of the Student Association. Its effectiveness as a vital force
in the shaping of the "...
mental satisfaction, protection,
and fulfillment of the
general well-being of our
members spiritually, intellectually,
morally, physically,
and socially" has been
questioned in all quarters of
the Student Association.
Such distrust on the part of
the Sludent Association
sllikes at the very core of
any Student Government,
that core being the respect
and colidence of those whom
the Government represents.
This lack of confidence can
only be remedied with action
and results_ The Student
Govemment musl promise
the members of the Student
Association a profitable and
workable platfOl'm, and
bring it into fl'lIition undel'
positive nnd dynamic leadership.
It is my goal to inject into
the Student Government and
the Student Association a new vitality - a sense of true forward
motion. My platform, which 1 presented to you on Tuesday morning,
is what I feel to be the profitable, workable platform needed to
improve the relationship between the Fairfield University student and
his Government. The ideas incorporated in it are sound, solid, and
progressive. They blend the academic, governmental, and social
aspects of student life into the common theme of mutual respect.
These are ideas which, in order to profit the University, must fostel'

The Student Government
has a very important role
to play in college life. Ever
since its inception here at
Fairfield, the Student Gov.
ernmenl has been strivinv to
better itself, to define its
place in the university.
The time is tipe for concrete
efforts to be made by
the leaders of the Student
Government so that the tal·
ents and energies of the students
may be most constructively
expressed. This must
be done in order to combat
that disease which seems
particularly prevalent here
at Fairfield - apathy!
College life is very complex
and dynamic. There arc
several component parts:
academic, social, spiritual,
athletic and cullural. Students
are always searching
for ways to express their
energies in any or all of
these areas. To do this most efficiently and for the benefit of all concerned,
coordination, participation and organization are necessary.
These three elements form the goal of a good student government.
Perhaps the greates role of student government is to provide
students with the guidance. assitance and leadership towards a l'e·
warding utilization of theil' energies. With the assitance of the Stu·
dent Government, the student will find success in the operation of his
own and club activities and his participation will be more rewarding
to himself individually. Co_tlnQed OD Pace 7
At this time, I, Paul GI'eeley, would like to announce my candi·
dack for the Presidencv of the Student Government of Fairfield Uni-venUty.

Savoy Slumps!
To the Editor:
As this academic year draws to a
close, I think It may be beneficial to
our I1ttle conununlty if the administra·
tion might entertain the Idea of con·
tacting a linen service other than Savoy.
It has become evident that they have
as..'"Umed a "we have It made" attitude.
Firstly, they slapped a ten·dollar deposit
on us, which will not be refunded If we
much as lose' that little receipt they gave
us. Next, I sense a "devil may care"
concern about student gripes of ripped
sheets, dirty towels. etc. Lastly, I n0ticed
the deceptive way they cut the
time which we are allowed to pick our
linen up in to about four hours. What
happens If one has four classes, lunch,
and then has to work? I would ask the
people considering renewal of Savoy's
contract to stop, think. and give us 11
break.

CAMPUS CENTER
To the Editor:
On Tuesday, February 28th, 1967. I
had the privilege of standing In the
lobby of the Campus Center when a
woman approached me, and inquil'oo
"Could you please tell me where the
card party is being held?" From a series
of past events being held In the Campus
center, 1 am wondering what this university
is turning into. I was under the
impression that the construction of a
student center was fOl' the benefit of
those going to the university. and not
the meeting place of those desiring to
use the new building. I am sure that if
the Southport Women's Bridge Club was
in such dire need of a meeting place.

ment could be arranged to suit their n""".

the Administration's policy In Vietnam,
although sincere and admirable in Its
the truly human view necessary to even
a most basic understanding of the War.
I sincerely hope, therefore, that the
spirit and awareness engendered by the
"Fast for Peace" can be truly realized
by all concerned Individuals, and thereby
become a new basis for more empathetic
and realistic views towards an immancntly
tragic con1llct.
To the Editor:
I would like to express my deep
gratitude and sincere appreciation for
the courtesy and help extended to me
by two of your students: Mr. Robert
MacDonald and Mr. William Crossby.
Some days ago, I was traveling at a
normal rate of speed on the Wilbur
Cross Parkway. when 1 was passed by
another car, whose driver cut back into
my lane too quickly, lost control of her
car, and went into a double spin. I was
forced to put on my brakes and went
into a spin, ending up with the rear
of the car In a snowbank. I could not
get out. Fortunately, Mr. MacDonald
and Mr. Crossby came along. They even
had a shovel with which to help me.
Thanks to their errorts. 1 was at last
able to proceed on my way.
It is comforting to know that our
young people are mindful of the needs
of others and are willing to lend a helping
hand In an emergency.

ers, a few student legislators, and
only a few Student Government
Executive Board members attended.
Another factor also contributed
to this poor showing. Student
Government Kevin McGovern
scheduled this important talk on
Viet Nam so as not to conflict
with other events on campus that
night. Yet somehow, two other
events found their wayan to the
night's agenda.
Why should we have speakers
on this campus at all, if those
who do all the work in making
the arrangements run the risk of
3uch grave embarrassment?
Of course, Mr. McGovern will
write a letter of apology to
Mr. Gaud. This would have been
quite unnecessary had it not been
for the rudeness and embarrassment
caused by the Fairfield community.
It was embarrassing because
Mr. Gaud was forced to
compete with two other talks,
and it was rude because his
speech, in its own light, deserved
a greater audience.
Perspective Lost
To the Editor:
It seems within the context of the
recently intens1fted discussions of the
Vietnamese War, on the Fairfield campus,
that a true perspective on the
bask: tragedy of the situation has been
lost. The "Peace Fast" which began the
controversy was based from its outset
upon a unified expression of concern over
the Vietnamese conflIct, eminaUng from
the diverse political and religious values
of many individuals. Through this inten·
tlonal open endedness U sought to
achieve and convey a more basic reallzation
of the tragic human consequenCXls
resulting from the widespread destruc·
tlon of war, and in doing so derive a
uniAed feeling an truer awareness of the
sutrering inherent In the war. Thls action.
through Its basically non-political
orientation, at least attempted to bring
its participants and all concerned individuals
to a basic realization of the
sutrering. a tragic reality which obviously
goes beyond mere factionalism
and petty political arguments.
But in view of the recent controversy,
1 am plagued by the feeling that
the Idealistic attempt on the part of
the "Fast" has been mlsconstrued by
those who opposed it, and has been subsequently
perverted Into an abstract
'political football'. It Is true that this
conflict of opinion is absolutely vital
and necessary, but has the discussion
degenerated once again Into meaningless
political banter, and just another in~
terest1ng pastime whtle drinking colfee
In the campus center? Even the active
political manifestations of this controversy,
such as the petition to support
The STAG congratulates Dr.
Vincent Murphy on his recent ape
pointment as Assistant Dean of
the University.
Dr. Murphy's achievements as
Assistant Director of psychology
have aptly shown his diverse tal~

will prove invaluable in his
new position.

The Fairfield University community
has again demonstrated
apathy. But since "apathy" is
such a well-worn term on this
campus, we will call the incident
of last Tuesday evening (Feb.
28th) a demonstration in rudeness,
or if you like, embarrassment.
Having an Undersecretary of

not an easy task. Yet the Student

On Thoughts Of de Chardin
By Genr.kI Sabo
"The name of the game is to
get In and. get out.·'
This Is how present U.S. foreign
aid programs were characterized
by Mr. William Gaud,
In his Student Government sponsored
lecture. the administrator
01 the Agenc)' for international
Development elaborated on Ihe
difference between past and
presrnt programs and t.hc rea·
sons for todays aid. He then
outlined in detail our program
in Vietnam.
Long·Term Aims
Rather than achieving a par·
ticular object as in the past.
tOOay's aid programs aim at
stimulating long-term economic
growth. Not only do they aim
nt effecting greater economic
strength in a country, but also
social reforms and institutions
to support a democratic government.
Previous programs were in
countries where "people knew
how 10 do what they wanted to
do." With !be emergence of former
colonies as independent tuIlions,
the developed countries
had either to ignore these less
developed nations or to aid them
by programs radically different
from the Marshall Plan or lhe
Truman Doctrine.

Why should we aid Ihese nt-w
nations? "It's Ute right thing to

Unfinished Business
To F.ducate or Co,educlite
One fine day in the year ]977, Casper Milktoast was walking
past the bulletin board in the Campus Center when he spied an
advcrtisement for one of those student magazines that always
gh'es discounls. 11 "ead:

Max Factor ft'(lm green fell? The next traumatic experience fOl'
the male popuiation of the university was the compulsory intra:
mural baton twirling. This was directed by the new director of
athletic activities, Yola Bronski. A graduate of Miami U., Yola
was gung ho on sports, sports, and. _ . sports. MJlktoast got out
of the baton twirling requirement, however. Three of his fingers
had been bl'oken by Yola when she was showing him some of the
finer points of isometrics.
Leaving sports, there was another area of university life
which had been taken over by the girls-Discipline. The new Dean
of Discipline, Miss Heidi Whippersnapper, had been on the rampage
ever since her arrival at Fairfield. She had introduced a
whole new set of rules and regulations meant to improve the
quality of gl'acious living. For example:
1. No slurping of soup at mc-als.
2. Clean fingernails at all times.
3. Up at 8 a.m. each morning in order to have a good brc-akfast,
etc.
The time had now come Casper felt to do something aboul
'this lerrible turn of events, He decided to talk to his good friend,
·.Jetferljon De Pew, leader of Ihe John Birch Olapter on campus.
Jefferson felt very strongly about the troubles being caused by
the girls on campus. He felt ihat co-edueatlon was part of an inlernatiooal
Communist conspiracy its chief proponents being the
N.A.A.C.P. and Helen Gurley Brown. He was in lavor of blowing
up the girl's dorm as a sign of disapproval. However. after being
asked to modify his design, he agreed to blow up only thp left side
of the dorm.
As could be expected JetTerson and casper could reach no
accord on what steps to take. Jefferson thought Ihey should kidnap
the president of the Student Government, Ferdie Wintergreen.
who was put in to power by the girls because they knew
thcy could control him. Casper, however, warned against the idea
as being too dangerous. Ferdie always carried a tear gas pen.
lt was no use. Nothing could save them now. A meeting had
been set for that very evening in the tea room of the Campus
Center by the girls with the purpose of taking a vote on whether
the boys should be thrown off campus. It was a foregone con,
clusion that the vote would be in favor. The only thing left
to do would be to pack the bags and get ready to leave.
And so it came to pass. The girls voted and decided that they
did not want co-education. Fairfield was now to tJ(> a girls' school.
Casper and Jefferson were sitting In Sullivan's that night waiting
for the last train down to the city. Sullivan's was now the last
Slag refuge in town but even that was going. The melodic sounds
of "when the Does go marching in" was heard In the background
when Cas(X'r turned to Jefferson and said, "You know JefT, 1
can't help but think that if they had waited a little longer wilen
they made the decision 10 years ago we wouldn't be here right
now in this predicament. But what are you going to do. It's a

"Hiroshima Mon Amour"
'59, "Last Year at Marienbitd'"
'61, and "Muriel" '63, He does
not write his films as most
European "art" directors do, but
prefers to enlarge technically
on someone else's material. In
"La Guerre -" he creates
miracles with the mechanics of
film making. Attempting, as he
says, to visualize the mechanics
of human thought, he inserts
short film clips showing his subject's
flashbacks and "Jlashforwards",
and he employs a semipoetic
running sollloquy, spoken
by Montand as the action pre;,
ceeds. His conventional dialogue
and camera work, and the blank
black and white setting of his
dingy world, at'e also effective,
The film hus an overall ease
and looseness akin to Godard's
new wave classic "Breathless",
but there is too much quality
to indicate the work of a haphazard
but lucky genius.
The fllm is superb on all
counts. It is not just an art 81m
composed of a lot of weighty
words and pretty pictures. Its
Intellectualism is neither puzzling
nor superficial. One's mind
is challenged not because there
is a subjective hidden meaning
to be found, but because there
is an objective meaning to be
examined.
McKamy's inventive direction,
this odd little item springs to
hilarious life. The audience
oohed and aahed with giggly
delillht all throu&,h the performance.
The chief sources of their
delight was Kent McKamy as
the husband-lover. As the hus·
band, he babbles all the
cliches of the contemporary
businessman's like like some
insane living personnel pros·
pectus for I.B.M.; as the lover,
he's Uke a Jules Feiffer parody
of amorousness.
Margaret Rumfol'd. as the
wife-whore, is not quite 'up to
him. She's bright and her
pacing is good, but her comic
acting lacks ttlat extra fillip of
crispness that would give it
special edge, and her melodramatic
acting lacks conviction.
Nevertheless, the production is
a good deal of fun.
All in all, ''TIle Dock Brief"
and "The Lover" provide a
stimulating and occasionally
delightful evening of theatre.
witty dialogue, seems gay;
basically, though. 1 think it Is
really Chekhovian, sad with an
absurd varnish at gaity coated
over it, which, upon ultimate
re(jectlon is also sad.
Robin Wilson, complete with
cow eyes, pot belly and
wrinkled garb from head to
foot, beautifully conveys the
atmosphere of the play and the
quallties of his character, the
defendant, Stanley Meyers, as
the lawyer, is less convincing.
The character's pathos comes
across in his performance, but
not his humor. i\'lr. Meyers could
be more dynamic and his
comle timing could be sharper,
"The Lover" is a bizarre
comedy about a conventional
buslnessman-husband and his
housewife mate who have one
peculiarity: they can only make
love to each other when the
husband pretends to be his
wife's lover and she pretends
to be his whore. Under Tsabel
three day layover in Paris between
missions, begins to sec
through the dedication of both
his group and himself. Middleaged
and weary, he and his associates
don't discuss political
throry anymore; most have forgotten
why they joined so long
ago. They only instinctively pursue
the faint dream that the
revolution will mature before
they die.
Montand eventually perceives
how tragic and pathetic this
unreal world is, He is also
pushed by his sometimes wife,
played well by Ingrid Thulin,
who tempts him with visions of
starting all over and raising a
family in his native Spain. But
in the end the hero finds that
both this latter dream and the
one he has lived all these years
are equally false. There is only
the gray of reality.
Montand Is excellent as the
old professional, the Rlehard
Burton of "Spy from the Cold",
who is beginning to realize that
his is just a dirty little business
like most others. He portrays
the same complete cynic that
started out many Bogart films,
but which ended few (conven·
tlonal American heroism generally
Infected Bogey about midfllm).
He Is the cynic with
enough Intelligence to realize
he must stay that way.

children to be brought to this country
at such an expense."
What I ask, then, is that, no matter
what your leanings toward the Vietnam
conllict, you do not waste your money on
this Committee of Responsibility. If you
arc truly concerned about the suffering
of the population of Vietnam, write the
A.I.D. and find out where you can send
money where it shall concentrate itself
on the alleviating of the sulfering within
VielIlam.
In reference to the interview of Mr.
Moloney, Director of the maintenance
department, in which he pleaded "lack
of communication" as the rationale for
less work done around the campus, I
must confess there are many unanswered
questions in my mind.
First of all, in relation to "broken
material not being reported"-my roommate
did report something broken in
our room to you, Mr. Moloney, three
times and my prefect and myself once
cach. If you kept a record of complaints
you would find my above statement
verified. We aren't the only students
who have "communicated" to you fruitlessly.
So why hasn't there been any
initiative taken? I could understand iC
you admitted a labor shortage but instead
you claim "lack of conununication"
on the students' part.
Secondly and most necessary, you
stated that you had thirty-one maintenance
men each working forty-four
.ours a week. Also that some of these
men "had performed otber than strictly
maintenance work" which you admitted
"were not truly maintenance jobs that
we were requested to do. However, you
said, ''I do not object to taking them
since it helps to cut down on the expenses
of the University."

To the Editor;
I am writing you concerning a group
of students who self-appointedly repre.sent
the Committee of Responsibility to
War·burned and War-injured Children
of Vietnam. These students shall be collecting
or approaching you to collect
money for this committee, which intends
to utilize the money to import Vietnamese
children to this country tor medical
aid.
To form a moral conunitment on a
subject such as abortion, and to proclaim
it publicly, I find admirable, but
to attempt to legislate conformity to
one's own beliefs I find a disgusting dJs..
play of arTOgance, and an inexcusabll!
disregard for the individual freedom
which is the backbone of American de·
mocracy.
The important Issue, I feel, is that
both arguments revolve around assumptions
that cannot be proved, and boil
down to personal belief or religious conviction.
Therefore any law either forbidding
or requiring abortion in any case
is equally unjustlftablc, for such laws
would be an intrusion of the state into
the area of morality and religion. I
therefore must applaud the bill before
the New York legislature on abortion,
because it is a step towards greater
personal freedom, and I must condemn
the opposition of the Catholic Bishops
of New York to the bill as an attempt
to force the entire population to conform
to the church's teachings. It is especially
shameful in view of the church's selfproclaimed
tolerance of other points of
view as expreSlled In the second Vatican
CoW>clL
catholic Church's attitude that an embyro
is really a human being from the
moment of conception, it is dJaicult to
justify abortion except in the most dire
cases.

Abortion?
Social Work
Many intelligent and well-mea.ning
men and women strongly disagree with
the analysis of the abortion problem as
presented by Ralph Kister in his column
of 3-2-67. They cannot consider a real
human being an organism that cannot
maintain life outside the body of a
woman, and according to these people,
something that must exist as a parasite
cannot claim the full rights of a human
being. In their minds, the embyro'"
right to grow into a human being must
be subordinated to the prospective
mother's right to refuse to allow It to
inhabit her body for the greater part of
a year. If these arguments are accepted,
then abortion may be justified at any
time a woman desires such an operation.
'On the other hand, if one accepts the
To the Editor;
no dignitary should have to compete
with the magic of "Teilhard."
I also feel that the techniques used
in advertising Mr. Gaud's appearance
were not designed to communicate the
importance of his pOSition.
No one could reasonably expect that
Mr. Gaud's name and picture would
draw a crowd. It is also doubtful that
many would know that the official
agency for allocating foreign aid is the
"Agency for Internation Development".
Mr. Gaud's true status was not clarified
in a recognizable manner by the
expensive yet unimaginative posters announcing
the event. The Stag coverage,
although realistically descriptive, went
to an opposite extreme by referring to
the gentleman as "Mr Gould". A brief
column six days before the lecture is
hardly an effective means of attracting
an audience. Faculty reminders in Tuesday's
classes would have had a greater
effect. Even on the Campus Center bulletin
board the brief and indescriptive,
"Mr. William Gaud - Administrator
Aid" was placed on the bottom of the
list of events. Also, the official calender
had the lecture slated for 6:00 p.m. instead
of 7:00 p.m. On the other hand,
the advertisements for the well attended
Father Henry lecture were appealing
and imaginative. The drawing power of
the "Chardln" name was exploited by
its promin(!nt position on the posters.
The Philosophy department was also
instrumental in promoting interest.
Fairfield University was disgraced and
you, its students, were deprived. Let us
hope: that the same mistakes are not
made again. The academic environment
as well as the reputation of the University
depends on It.

To the Editor:
On Tuesday, February 28, 1967, the
administrator of America's entire foreign
aid program, a man who ranks as
an Undersecretary and who sits in on
meetings of the National Security Council,
spoke in Gonzaga auditorium. Mr.
William Gaud, who heads the Agency
for International Development and
whose superiors are Dean Rusk and
President Johnson, drew a crowd of approximately
seventy. Although Mr.
Gaud's lecture summerized economic reconstruction
throughout the world, it
was advertised as a lecture concerning
the economic reconstruction of Vietnam,
an Important topic in Its own right.
Why did only seventy people attend
this lecture by an important man about
an even more important topic? Apathy
and unconcern on the part of the students
and faculty alike no doubt contributed
to some degree. I believe, however,
that other factors played the major
role in depriving the Fairfield student of
this unique educational opportunity.
Because of the poorest possible coordination,
a lecture by Rev. Paul Henry, S.J.
on Teilhard de Chardin was scheduled
for the same time In the Campus ceater.·
Obviously, no one should have to choose
between such worthy presentations, and
To the Editor:
In his column "Something to Say"
(3-1-67), Mr. John Mullen strongly
criticized the "Fairfield Free Press" for,
what seems to me, a lack of integrity
on the part of those who write articles
in the publication and who only identify
themselves by signing their intials and
class. I think that this is a very valid
criticism which should be kept in mind
by the publishers of the "Free Press."
But I would like to ask John how he,
as an editor of "Whenever Possible" and
as author of a column which appeared
in the December Issue of the publication
without signature or initials, can pos·
sibly criticize a polley in which he is
so obviously indulgent.
If John seriously feels that the policy
to which he is presently convicted is
right for him, I would strongly encour·
age him to become consistent in this
pattern of thinking. I should also like
to ask him to show a little open-mindedness
towards those who hold a different
point of view than his. And, in the
future, I hope that Mr. Mullen will keep
his promise and "continue to accept the
responsibility of bearing the burdens
that come with having stated. his opinions."

The subject of full scholarships

West Coast institutions were far
more liberal than those on the
Bast Coast. One Jesuit from that
area told him that he would

A major problem on the rise

though, is that of dope and LSD.

The end of the conference was

Yes, I think Fairfield should
go co-ed, eventually. I am enthusiastic
about the "real life"
atmosphere of coeducation, but
I wonder If coeduca
tlon is
concretely possible
here at
Fairfield within
the near future.
It seems to me
that we have
nut n,auy ulOught through Uni·
versity obligations to the stu·
dent in terms of his total living
experience. An editorial, last
year, in the STAG lamented
the deserted campus on weekends,
but the editorial only
hinted at the deeper problem
of the very abstra~ life that
students are asked to live here.
In some ways the absence of
girls is part of that problem,
but I am not sure that the presence
of girls would by itself bc
the solution to the problem.
Specifically, I suspect that the
presence of girls will serve to
focus more attentiollj on the difficulty
of creative 4nd recrea·
tional diversion at' Fairfield.
But my remarks are not intended
to discourage the
change; only to encourage phlonDing
for it,

FAIRFIELD
I am in favor of admitting
girls to Fairfield as soon as
practical arrangements can be
completed. Part of a college
education
should consist
in getting to
know as many
different people
as possible and
the presenee of
girls on campus
would, without a doubt, enlarge
most students' circle of acquaintances.
If girls are present in classes,
there would be more continuity
between the week and the weekend.
Students would get to
know each other in a more casual
setting and the need for
elaborate planning and time
spent in traveling weekends
would be eliminated.
Academic standards are bound
to rise with the admittance of
female students. Experience at
other colleges shows that it is
normally much harder for a
girl to bc admitted at II c~

Mr. Arthur Riel
I think that this pattern
should be broken at the undergraduate
level where students
arc about to enter adulthood.
A man should view a women
as a womlLlI, not as a fellow
student or competitor. A woman
is meant to be admired, understood
and loved and not
thought of as an associate or
an academic rival. The co-inslitutlonal
system enables a
man to begin his understanding
of women. He will not have a
clear opportunity again, since
he will not be dealing with
women as women in graduate
school or in the market place.
The c~institutional system
will let him pursue classroom
knowledge with detachment,
but, outside the classroom, enable
him to view women as
women, and advanCe his social
education in their company. As
Goethe wrote, "The society of
women Is the foundation of good
manners."
Actually I don't feel very
strongly on co-education. I can,
however, think of some reasons
which seem to favor it. Judging
from my experiem,:
e in leaching
girls in summer
school and graduate
school, I
can say that
there is some
evidence t hat
they are a bit more thorough
in doing their assignments (this
can be argued). This fact (if it
is a fact) might induce male
students to put a llttle more
effort into their studies; on the
other hand It might arouse hostility.
Another factor seems favorable,
but not compelling. 'Should
the draft quotas be significantly
increascd, as they were
twenty-five years ago, the university
would be in a better
way to survive, if it has a
solidly established COoed student
body.
One final comment: I do think
that a co-ed campus more closely
resembles life. On such a
campus girls arc an ordinary ocCUlTence,
as they are in daily
living. But under the present
conditions, girls are unusual, infrequent,
special, limited to
weekends.
A vital question In this mat·
tel' is this: are there quali.tJ.ed
girls who cannot tlnd colleges
to admit them? It so, perhaps

score reads this way. The girls
were not necessarily more intelligent,
but they were more
scholarly, more highly motiv·
ated, more interested, more interesting,
more challenging,
more lively and finally they
were by far prettier. These observations
naturally do not apply
to all the girls. nor all the
boys, but are generally valid. I
feel that those who oppose c0.education
would deprive themselves
of many of the benc1lts
of sex difference in terms of
ideas, outlooks, etc.
Further, I would suggest that
it is the context of the classroom
that is important, i.e., the
artificial situation called dating
does not make up the deficit
that exists in not encountering
females in the classroom. Finally,
not that I was asked to
do so, but I would like to ask
a questlon or two, the answers

Dr. James Vail
I favor, not the co-€ducatlonal

The statlui quo is not an inviolable
prerogative, but neither
is change without sufficient
reason the most rational procedure.
The arguments
for c0education
at
Fairfield just do
not sound convincing
to me.
For instance,
why a person
must be engaged in the most
nalural and usual of social en~
vironments every moment of
his life, I fail to sec. It is quite
impossible at any rate, for tea
parties, athletics, fashion shows,
and beer l:IUrties are a constant
threat to bi-sexual socializing.
Why should a person not be able
to dedicate himself for a period
of time to work under conditions
that are somewhat restrictive
if he feels that this would
be a help in achieving his goal?
The principle seems to work
for interns, astronauts, military
men. Why shouldn't a stu·
dent be able to pursue his col·
legc studies in an atmosphere
he fcels would be less conducive
to emotional involvement at a
time he could little afford it
psychologically or financially?
The all-male school Is one possible
and efficient way for a
young adult to get a college
education. I see no particular
reason why Fairfield should
stop offering this option. • • •
Thcre is HUle I can add to
the discussion of co-education
and Fairfield University. The
elevcn members of the Academic
Council
/the elected
voice of the
Faculty) unanimously
endorsed
co-education
at their Feb--
ruary 15 meet· _
ing as did the campus AAUP
Chapter last November.
I am strongly in favor of the
University's admitting girls in
September. 1968 aftcr a year
of intensive publicity about the
change and after minimum facilities
have been established on
campus.
The admission of female students
will widen the pool of
applicants and improve the calibre
of the student body. It will
tend to humanize the campus,
encourage a more mature be·
havior on the part of the male
students and create both a more
realistic and relaxed atmosphere
on campus. Hopefully,
too, it would create a candid
situation wherein frank and rna·
ture discussion of the problems
of modern society which have
the male-female relationship at
their base could take place.
One of the drawbacks at
Fairfield Is the homogenit}" of
the student body. What the
University needs is some
healthy doses of diversity: Pr~
testants, Jews, Southerners,
mid-West conservatives, New
York liberals, atheists, Marxists,
urban minorities, New Left
radicals, Buckley ultras, A dis·
tant goal. Meanwhile, some
girls will do nicely. • • •

was Mr. Robert O'Neill, who
prefaced his remarks by stating
that the AAUP unanimously
favored co-education.
The President of the AAUP's
arguments- centered around the
economic problems resulting
ftum the war in Viet Nam. He
cited the example of Boston
College's problems during World
War IT when they were nearly
forced to close their doors due
to lack of enrollment.

THE COMMITTEE OF RESPONSIBILITY TO SAVE WAR BURNED AND WAR
INJURED VIETNAMESE CHILDREN
Aid is urgently needed to save a generation of Vietnamese children from the ravages of twentieth century warfare.
The Committee of Responsibility to Save War Burned and War Injured Children, on American voluntary organization
comprised of prominent physicians, clergymen, scientists, and other public figures, has called for financial support
from the American public.
According to their statistics, 47.5% of the Vietnamese are children under the age of sixteen. There are approxImately
one doctor and nine nurses to care for everyone hundred thousand persons.
The aim of the Committee is to remove war-injured Vietnamese children to this country, where medical help, hospital
beds, and space for temporary home core have been enlisted.
We call upon those at Fairfield University who are concerned about the human suffering resulting from the Vietnamese
conflict to contribute to a public fund that will be forwarded to the Committee of Responsibility.
On Thursday and Friday, March 9 and 10, a table where donations may be given will be set up in the Campus Center.
On those evenings, between 9 and 12 P.M., members of th e Committee will circulate throu'gh the dormitories to collect
additional funds,
America is not engaged in a conflict with children, yet they feel the pain and destruction of the conflict as acutely
as their elders. Perhaps more.
Regardless of religious or political pursuasion, we call upon all members of the University community to meet this
humanistic, moral challenge to positive action,

SPORTS PERSONALITY
BUt KOlC.her
Under the watchful eye of Coach Donald Cook,
the Fairfield baseball nine has begun practice sessions
in the gymnasium, preparing for their opener on APlil
I, against N. Y. Tech. Coach Cook, a past Fairfield
star catcher, has high hopes for this year's team, describing
them as "the best in the school's history."
Thia team could well finiab not only with tbe
scbool's first winning record but also could even obtain
a post-seaaon tournament bid. They certainly JJave
the potential and also have a moat dedicated and outstanding
coach in Donald Cook.
After completing his initial season as coach last
year, the formel' Fairlleld receiver has taken great
strides in developing a previously stagnant baseball
team into a fine group of ball players, He has completely
changed the image of baseball here at Fairfield.
Two years before he came on the scene, the Stag nine
won three games and the following year, they won but
one contest, giving them a rousing total of four victories
in two years.
Mr. Cook certainly did not have much to look
forward to, but he took control and tried to fire up his
team by announcing that "they would go out on the
field and play every game to win r" With this philosophy,
he led the Stags to a respectable 8-11 recol'd,
doubling the total victOlies of the previous two seasons,
The winning formula for Coach Cook seems to be
his change in the type of ball playing. Stag teams of
the past were noted for being conservative, constantly
waiting for the big inning which they rarely found;
This year's team will not follow the same pattern, as'
they will be playing a "peppel' pot" brand of ball,
constantly running and going for the one run. Using
these tactics, 'Mr. Cook feels that he "will force opponents
to make unnecessary mistakes."
This year's schedule will be the bardeat ever faced
by a Stag nine. They will be matched against some
of the fineat talent in the Eaat, including auch potent
foea as Holy Crou, Boston College, Long Island University,
Rider (Doubleheader), and Southern Conn.
State, which had a 21-1 record last year, losing only
to Fairfield,
The higblight of the aeaaon will be tbe playing of
a nigbt game on May 1'6 against New Haven College
at Quigley Field in West Haven. The Staas will be
given the honor pf being the first team in tbe New En·
gland area to make an appearance under tbe lights.
Led by co-captains Paul Gartska and Ted Symeon,
this year's team shows considerable balance and promise.
Symeon, the ace of last year's mound staff, will
once again share the brunt of the pitching chores. His
battel'y mate will be Paul Galtska, who Mr. Cook feels
"should greatly help the team with his consistent hitting."
The stt'ongest part of this year's team will be the
infield, especially up the middle. The fllle double-play
combination of Dennis Hurlie and Pete Gillen, which
completed 25 double plays in 19 games last season, will
be returning. Junior first baseman John Walsh and Allie
Vestro, who patrols the hot cornel', J'ound out thl'
infield.
The main fe.ature of this year's team will be the
running of Pete OdIum and newcomer Skip Bolger.
Coach Cook placed great emphasis on this speedy combination
in his plans, fOI' he hopes "that they will constantly
hustle for that extra base, putting pressure on
the opponents."
One of the weaknesses of past Stag teams has
been in hitting. This does not seem to characterize this
year's gl·OUp. Led by Pete Gillen, who batted .300 last
season, and the powel' hitting of Allie Vestro, this year's
team will be no pushover for opposing pitchers.
One of the big disappointments for Mr. Cook has
been the weak turnout for the team this year. He had
been hoping for a large response by the sophomore
class, but did not receive it as only a handful applied.
Thus, the one weakness of the team seems to be a lack
of depth, especially in the infield and pitching departments.
Now that Fairfield is making ita first attempt at
big time baseball, this would al.llo be a good time to
make plans for a new field. The playing conditiona are
not suitable for developing a top team. Under tbe preaent
aystem, the University finda itaelf playing bebind
the Prep for rigbta to tbe field. Coach Cook 'cannot be
expected to develop an outstanding team under aueh
conditions. It ill hoped that grounds will be broken soon
to remedy the problem and start the Stags iOn the road
to aucceas.

In the opening minutes of the
second stanza, Ihey suddenly
couldn't do anything right. Assumption
outscored the Stags
eleven to two to take a 55-50
lead. From this point they
were never headed.
They appeared to be running
away with the contest as they
pushed their lead to ten points
wIth only ten minutes remaining
In the game.
Suddenly the Stags' offense
came to life! Pressure defense
began to take Its toll on the
Greyhounds as it yielded sevcral
easy buckets to close the
gap to two. Fairfield trailed
6~ with seven and one half
minutes remaining.
Assumption adjusted and rallied
on two free throws by Tom
Russel and two fast break lay
ups by George Ridlck to preserve
their lead. The Hounds
coasted on to victory on the

Fairfield began the contest
quickly jumping to a ten point

players in the dust,
Sammy King shot several good
baskets and Frank Magaletta
was clearing the boards steadily.
But towards the end of the
half, a short Rick O'Brian began
finding the range on the
home court and narrowed the
halftime score to 45-39 In favor
of the Stags.
The third quarter saw each
team stay even. Fairfield cooled
off and missed several scoring
opportunities while O'Brian and
Joo Strades kept the Assump·
tlon team in contention unlil
they eventually tied the score,
with 10 minutes remaining.
But Wayne Gibbons again
scored on long jumpers, and Ed
Beaudreault hit well from the
foul line to once more boost
the Stag margin to seven
points.
There was, however, more to
be heard from the scrappy opposition.
Strades continued with
the hot hand as the Stags
struggled to speed up their own
attack. Time and again the Assumption
team traded baskets
with Fairfield, the Stags scorIng
quickly on nice assists by
King or Gibbons and the
Hounds working the ball to
lead and held ofT a late siege

Bill Jones played one of the
