Stag - Vol. 19, No. 15 - February 14, 1968

              By JOHN BRENNAN
The Student Government Legislature erupted into a blazing attack upon Gov­ernment
President Michael Bocchini duri ng the first meeting of the body held this
year. The examination resulted from Mr. Bocchini's questionable action concerning
the Freshmen Rebate, the financing of the Mardi Gras weekend, and the veto of
the Judo-Karate Club Appropriation Bill, which called for a $400 loan and a $200
grant.

Financial Situation
Treasurer James Magenheim­1'
1' presented the legislature with
the current financial situation
which finds the government with
$576.81 cash on hand, $425 re­maining
of $1,700 allotted for
grants, and $2,.500 overdrawn in
the allotted account for loans.
Mr. Magenheimer was then
questioned severely as to who
authorized the $2,500 loan and
the reasons for the condition of
the treasury. He replied that the
President had sanctioned the
Weekend loan, while citing such
reasons as lack of interest in
the Govemment ChI' i s t mas
Dance and Mardi Gras in ex­plaining
why the treasury was
in such a state.
When the meeting was called
to order, Robert Murphy asked
that the rules be suspended in
order to permit President Boc­chini
to come before the legis­lature.
Mr. Murphy and his
freshmen colleagues then pre­sented
a petition signed by two
hundred and fifty-three fresh­men
demanding Mr. Bocchini to
explain "his actions concerning
the bill passed by this legisla­ture
referring to the rebate for
on-campus borders of the Class
of 1971." Bocchini replied by
saying that he had the bill for
only "two school weeks," but

THE
DE~
Financial Folly
To the Editor:
At the meeting of the Student Legis­lature
last Thursday, February 8, the
legislators were suddenly informed of
President Bocchini's financial folly and
his dereliction of duty.
First, Mr. Bocchini overstepped his
power by loaning $2,500 to Mardi Gras
as a down payment for the Mitch Ryder
Review. The Student Government Con­stitution
states that the Powers of the
Legislature are: "To provide such funds
THE STAG
Stand
expressed concern over the finan­cial
feasibility of such a loan, his
oral promise would not have been
made.
Similarly, he has also failed to
represent properly the entire stu­dent
body. Shirking his presiden­tial
obligation to present a duly
processed bill to the administra­tion,
he failed to bring the Fresh­man
Rebate Bill to Mr. Griffin's
attention. Though he also intend­ed
to discuss this issue with Fr.
McInnes, he himself cancelled
his appointment with the Presi­dent.
On the basis of his commend­able
and inclusive platform, THE
STAG supported Mr. Bocchini's
candidacy last March. But of the
eighteen points in the platform,
he has fulfilled only a small num­ber
of them. What of the remain­ing
points, however, that he has
failed to fulfill? Where are the
proposed "reading break," prior
to exams, and the proposed "re­vision
of the present grade sys­tem?"
Where are "Social Satur­days,"
the "Fairfield University
Film Festival," and the "cultural
trips of interest?"
In retrospect then, Mr. Boc­chini
has failed to lessen in any
way students' apathy toward the
Student Government. Rat her
than bring respectability to the
Government, he has chosen to
foster the feeling that the Gov­el'nment
is helpless and not to
be taken seriously. This attitude
cannot be tolerated in any cam­pus
leader - least of all in the
President of the Student Govern­ment.
On the basis of this overwhelm­ing
evidence of gross executive
negligence, we demand President
Bocchini's resignation. We know
that competent persons in the
present Government can replace
him. We believe that his resigna­tion
will be the first in a series of
direly needed Government reno­vations.
Where We
Pa~e Two
"If the Student Government is
ever going to grow into an active
and integral part of campus life,
then it must be endowed with the
best possible men to be its lead­ers."
So wrote Michael Bocchini
in his presidential platform last
year. Unfortunately for the stu­dents
at this University he has
not proven himself to be such a
leader.
We, the Editorial Board of
THE STAG, call for Mr. Boc­chini's
resignation as President
of the Student Government. Were
there a constitutional provision
for impeachment, we would de­mand
that.
We believe that Mr. Bocchini
has failed notoriously to provide
the Student Government with the
leadership it so desperately
needs. He has shown anything
but "the industry and sense of
responsibility" that he purported
to possess in his presidential
platform.
The lack of genuine communi­cation
between himself and the
Legislature became especially
evident this past week, when his
unconstitutional appropriation of
funds for the Mardi Gras Week­end
was challenged by the Legis­lature.
Under the pretext of a
shortage of time, Mr. Bocchini
deemed it his prerogative to ap­propriate
$2,500 and bypassed
due legislative process. There
~as, however, definitely enough
time to call an emergency session
of the Legislature, for even a
simple quorum would have suf­ficed.
Mr Bocchini orally agreed to
sign the Judo-Karate Club Bill
for funds. On the basis of this,
the club ordered the necessary
equipment.. Mr. Bocchini, how­ever,
vetoed this bill at a Decem­ber
Executive Board meeting.
Had Mr. Bocchini maintained ef­fective
contact with the Student
Government T I' e a sur e 1', Mr.
James Magenheimer, who had
A Closed Case
The Editorial Board of THE
STAG would like to take this op­portunity
to define its function at
Fairfield and to outline its objec­tives
for the coming year.
We consider our obligation to
the college community to be two­fold:
the objective reporting of
news and sports, and the presen­tation
of personal, student reflec­tion
and opinion on pertinent is­sues.
The opinions expressed by col­umnists
and reviewers are their
own and in no way reflect the
Editorial position of THE STAG.
THE STAG, of course, is respon­sible
for all that is printed in its
pages, but it is not necessarily
sympathetic to its columnists'
views.
Columnists and reviewers are
free not only to select their own
topics, but also to express their
own judgments. We respect this
right.
The editorials are the views of
no one member of THE STAG,
but represent the opinion of the
entire Editorial Board - an opin-ion
reached only after full delib­eration
and debate. As such, the
Board is prepared to defend these
views.
We believe that Fairfield stu­dents
hold strong opinions on
many important issues on' the
campus and outside the Univer­sity.
In order to provide a chal­lenging
outlet for these opinions,
we welcome all Letters-to-the­Editor
that adhere to a letter
forin of not more than one type­written
page. We are certain that
the students will respond to this
challenge of making their news­paper
as effective and reflective
of themselves as possible.
Aware that some students may
wish to express their opinions
personally, we invite all inter­ested
students to the meetings of
the Editorial Board, held every
Wednesday at 6 :00 p.m. in THE
STAG Office. In conclusion, we
ask all students who are inter­ested
to work in some capacity
for their paper to come to THE
STAG Office at 3 :15 this after­noon
or to contact any member
of the present staff.

- a salty hazard to everyone
who used the room. In the TV
room in the basement of Loy­ola,
all the chairs were destroy­ed,
the waDs were written on,
and garbage was strewn aD
over the fioor. As a result of
these abuses the television was
removed from the room. Mr.
Bianchi also noted that there is
a "real danger" that the audi­torium
will be closed by the
Fire Marshall as a result of the
discovery of a large n.umber of
cigarette butts on the floor.
Discouraging Situation
Mr. Bianchi commented: "The
whole situation is discouraging,
students lose the use of the fa­cilities
which they currently
have and lose possible facilities
which they might obtain in the
future. I would like to see many
more vending machines put in
the dorms, but it is impossible
for me to obtain them if the
ones currently in use are con­stantly
ill-treated."
It was revealed that the only
way to stop these abuses is by
students showing responsibility
and maturity by speaking up
firmly against these inequities.
This would include catching
the people responsible for these
abuses by their fellow students
and bringing them to Student
Court to make them pay for

Vending Machines Removed
Responsibility Needed
To Correct Abuses
. By PATRICK LONG
As a result of recurring
abuses, Mr. Ronald Bianchi has
announced that the vending ma­chines
have been removed from
Regis by the vending company.
Mr. Bianchi said that, "These
are facilities which the students
should have, but if they are
abused, our only alternative is
to take them out." He said that
with the constant repair to the
machines as a result of these
abuses, it had no longer become
a paying proposition for the
vending company to retain these
machines.
Final Incident
The final incident which
brought about the removal of
the machines from Regis oc­curred
when a candy machine
jammed and didn't work. In
retaliation, a student apparently
took syrup from the soda ma­chine
and poured it allover
the candy machine, clogging its
mechanisms. In addition, he
kicked in the side of the soda
machine. Mr. Bianchi said that
"the company simply could not
afford this abuse."
This incident Is another in a
line of student abuses of the
facilities offered to them. Mr.
Bianchi cited other examples in­cluding
the laundromat, where
doors to the machines have been
smashed in and a gas line cut
play by dispensing with the
formalities, editing most of the
'woe-woe' out of the chorus
speeches . . . and does not
waste time invoking the Greek
gods who yVere more numerous
than influential in the dispensa­tion

the payment of Student Gov­ernment
officials. Attending the
meeting were Fr. WlIiiam Mc­Innes,
S.J., Mr. Leo Fay, S.J.,
and a smaD nwnber of students.
More Responsible
Mr. Fay introduced the issue
by stating that the headaches
of public office can be co:n­pensated
by "weal~h, power, or
prestige." "In a case, however,
where power and prestige are
almost non-existent, wealth is
the only answer." He added
that "payment would make the
officials more responsible to
their jobs."
Fr. McInness, suggested that
payment might p 'ompt more

students to come out of their
shells and run for office. "May­be
a shyster would be better fo~
office, even though his aggres­siveness
is motivated by a visi­ble

did not feel that a salary
or any other kind of concrete

Now
the Glee Club by the audience,
probably due to a factor of
human nature. Children are less
inhibited and react openly to
their emotions. This was quite
evident when the entire audi­ence
of eleven year olds stood
up, applauded, and cheered con­tinuously
even though there
was still another stanza and a
half remaining to the song.
When asked how it felt to have
a response such as this from an
audience, one Glee Club mem­ber
replied" "It's so fantastic,
that it ,can't be put into words."
Frosting on the Cake
Later, Mr. Harak continued
on a different line, saying
"Fairfield has a need for this
type of music and I feel that
set '! Certainly not the makers
of the film, who have literally
littered it with sticky music and
low-keyed com i c situations.
Where anger is the only legiti­mate
reaction, Hiller and com­pany
react to the amorality with
shoulder-shrugging, boat-steady­ing
complacency. By my stand­ards,
this itself is immoral, and,
in view of the human suffering
involved in the action of the
film, ignoble and obscene. If art
cannot rise above the mass
habit of tacit approval, then art
is guilty of the sa.me abnegation
of involvement as the mass.
"Emily" may just be the classic
statement of non-involvement.
Finally, he confirmed that,
"coeducation will definitely be
introduced to Fairfield in one
form or another within the next
few years."
By BRUCE HOWARD
Every campus has its "unsung
heroes," but this term doesn't
seem to apply to the Fairfield
University Glee Club. You could
say, they're our 'singing heroes.'
Said to be one of the largest
organizations at Fairfield, it
does more than its part to en­hance
the reputation of the
school.
Carnegie Concerts
The Glee Club, consisting of
70 members recently began a
series of concerts at Carnegie
Hall in New York City. The
concerts, set up by the Board of
Education of the City of New
York and the American 'Sym­phony
Orchestra, are performed
for grammar school children of
New York public schols, in an
attempt to introduce them to
a varied musical program.
The program consists of:
"American Salute" by Gould,
"Mysterious Mountain" by Ho­vhaness,
"Bergamasca" by Res­pighi,
"Hoe-down" from "Ro·
deo" by Copeland, and the "Sa­bre
Dance" from "Gayne" by
Khachaturian all performed by
the American Symphony Or­chestra;
Chopin's "Piano Con­certo
No. I" by Prisilla King;
and Thompson's "The Testa­ment
of Freedom," Part IV,
sung by the Glee Club.
In an interview with Mr. Si­mon
Harak, Director of the Glee
Club, he expressed his pleasure
with their performance. Com­menting
further on the concert
he said, "A professional does
not consider himself as such
until he has played at Carnegie
Hall, and I feel it means even
more to amatuers such as the
Glee Club. It gives them reas­surance."
Audience Reception
The most amazing factor of
the concert was the reception of
Glee Club rehearses with tile American Symphony Orchestra

Thomas Donahue has affirmed
that negotiations are going on
with a number of girls colleges
with the aim of establishing co­ordinate
coeducation. According
to the present plan the college
with which the agreement i ..
reached will move onto the Fair­field
campus.
Two Colleges
Mr. Donahue also stated that
"contrary to circulating rumors
no college has been eliminated
as a prospective one," but he
conceded that "two colleges in
particular are being seriously
considered." He added that in
about three weeks much more
specific information about the
current discussions, as well as
their results, would be made
available.
Queried as to the role the
student polls have played in in­fluencing
adm,inistration policy
on the issue tile vice president
replied that "it was a direct
result of this poll that the sys­tem
of coordinate education is
the one being primarily con­sidered,
as opposed to a system
of direct coeducation." He in··
dicated the prospect of di­rect
coeducation virtually eli­minated,
unless all attempts at
coordinate coeducation faU.

AT BOTH THEATRES
In an America long accus­tomed
to Puritan tradition it
has always been accepted tha~
certain standards are necessary
to prevent artists from produc·
ing works of an obscene nature.
Long undefined in practice, the
word "obsce:1e" has become
limited in use to those sidestep­pings
of morality which some­times
result from human sexual
involvement. Both legalists and
critics have permitted this word
to become so slight in meaning;
no one has insisted that what is
obscene is whatever capitalizes
on the suffering and sordidness
of men, no matter in what area
they are incurred.
Recently on campus, Arthur
Hiller's "Emily" was presented.
"Emily" is the type of film
which, if a few irrelevant bed­room
scenes were snipped out,
would be as c~lmly and resist­lessly
accepted as a Walt Dis­ney
cartoon. It is such a nice
story, so cute, even a bit funny
at times. And thoroughly ob­scene.
Only not in a way which
would make anyone's maiden
aunt blush.
Page Four
Flicks
JJitler~
Any assertion that "Emily" is
obscene probably causes some
shock to the many satisfied
members of the audience. How­ever,
though the film is set in
World War II, and at one of
the most serious and brutal
moments of that war, the inva­sion
of Normandy, no one is
consciotis of the cost to human
beings that the action involves.
No one, that is, except the sen­sitive
viewer.
Julie Andrews, in the title
role, portrays a character of
stupid egoism. In the beginning
of the film, this egoism mani­fests
itself as jingoist national­ism,
as she spouts off righteous­ly
the meaning of the war in
terms of Great Britain's honor.
Her egoism comes closer to
home as her sentimental yearn­ings
lead her to the embrace of
Charlie (James Garner), the
Navy "dog-robber" with whom
she falls in love. It is for him
that she finally sells out her last
pangs of conscience, and urges
him to share with her a life of
lies.
Charlie's own pangs of con­science
are few. He admits to a
strong instinct of self-pre'SerVa­tion
which motivates him to the
undertaking of any scheme
which will assure the safety of
his own skin. Yet he is honest,
and likeable at first; to him,. the
war is an unsought encum­brance;
he will make the best
of its seeming absurdity. He en-

More Letters to the Editor
Continued from Page 2
As Mr. Bocchini testified before the
Legislature, he vetoed the Judo-Karate
Club bill on the same day he granted
1\Iardi Gras $2,500 which he said was
the Thursday before ('xams - this day
should be Jan. 11, 1968.
Again, quoting the Constitution con­cerning
the Presidential veto: "Should
the president fail to sign the bill and fail
to return the same to the legislature
within that two week period, the bill
will' become law." Since the Legislature
passed this bill on December 11, 1967,
Mr. Bocchini had more than two weeks
time. If you will only consider five school
days as composing a week, Mr. Bocchini
still, loses. He had Dec. 12-15, Jan. 3-5.
and Jan. 8-10. The bill should have be­come
law at 12:00 p.m., January 10,
1968.
Third, Mr. Bocchini failed to perform
his appointed duties since he did not
inform the Administration about the
Freshmen request for a rebate. Refering
again to the Constitution, the President
shall: "Represent the Student Govern­ment
in meetings with the administrative
authorities of the University ..." Again,
Mr. Bocchini missed the boat.
To remedy the above situations, the
Legislature should reprimand President
Bocchini for his unauthorized seizure of
government funds and for his gross ne­glect
of his legally appointed duties.
Perhaps the Legislature should audit
not only the books of the Student Gov­ernment
but also those of Mardi Gras
since the Student Government is held
financially responsible for the success
or failure of the weekend. Lastly, Mr.
Bocchini should fulfill both his legal
commitments to the Judo-Karate Club
concerning funds and to the Freshmen
Class concerning a rebate.
Slnce-rely,
Roger A. Grigg, '71
Teeny-Bopper Revue
To the Editor:
The mild failure of the recent Mardi
Gras weekend can be attributed to many
factors, the most significant being a
gross misinterpretation of the Stags' en­tertainment
interests. A 24-carat, par­anoiac,
teeny-bopper can scarcely be
considered tasteful for a college winter
weekend. Let us hope that in the future
the' committee will show a little more
d'scrimination in selecting a group that
caters to the college level through means
other than the lunacy of moaning and
squawking.

Paculty Apathy
To the Editor:
They say Fairfield University students
are apathetic; admittedly, lance agreed.
However, having faithfully consulted my
"inner self," I begin to take notice of
other quarters; I begin to wonder about
our "dearly beloved in Christ" adminis­tration
and our not so religiously de­voted
faculty. Where do their interests
reside? In their students? In them­selves?
I have wondered why it is that
when we seek ,counselors, none are
found; that when we seek answers, none
are given. I have so often heard: "Oh,
I have so little time . . ." and "Oh, let
me see if I can fit you in . . . ah yes! a
month from today at ..." Poor, poor
men, all looking and speaking like
Christ's Cross were upon their shoulders;
I do so hate to see anyone over-burdened.
I feel guilty when I ask for an appoint­ment;
.but did not Christ's disciples fol­low
him to partake in the sacred sacri­'
fice of Calvary? Oh, and what a sacrifice
it is! These men, so dedicated to their
vocation - how I admire them! God
alone knows how ardently they set his
work before all else! I certainly do not.
Ed~cators! Didactic, charismatic! Living,
breathing gospels and epistles! Well,
enough of it. Are these men really dedi­cated
to their avowed professions? Some
labor painstakingly upon consuming doc-toral
dissertations, and are consumed;
some write novels, and are written off
the pages of our lives. There are poets,
painters, playwrights 3.nd a host of grand
creators who grace our walls; and there,
displacing crucifixes, they hang, to be
seen, not touched. To be thus dedicated
to us, the objects of Fairfield's educa­tion,
is to be either vicious, stupid, or
indifferent. I hope but few are the first;
too many are the second; and most, if
not all" are the third. In any case, not­withstanding
category, bad example is
the result.
Granted, we need the library building
(though we wonder from where the
books to fill it shall come, and when),
sdence building, and a whole new com­plex
of buildings! We know how fast the
administration is racing to huild the fu­ture;
but what about the present? For­get
that, and you'll find you haven't
built on a very sound foundation.
So, then, to whomever this be ad­dressed,
let us each learn from the
other; for no university is a unilateral
affair.

Something Smells ...
To the Editor:
Last Wednesday's dinner consisted of
a typical bill of fare that could have
been found in almost any American
home on almost any day of the year, but
for Fairfield students the meal was any­thing
but typical. One could have all the
fish and French-fries that one could eat
along with ice cream - a Szabo rarity
- with toppings for dessert. Of course,
the student body was incredulous at this
sequence of events and immediately cir­culated
rumors of what had happened
to Szabo.
Among these., business students hedged
a guess that Szabo was attempting to
reform its corporate image in prepara­tion
for a renewal of their food conces-sian
contract with the school. .
Political hacks strongly hinted that
Szabo, supposedly a front for local C.I.A.
activities, had seized a Russian fishing
trawler only to discover that the trawler
was a genuine one with a full hold of
fish. To avoid embarrassment a quick
sale followed-.
Another group of students feared that
Szabo was preparing us for yet worse
to come because of, present inflationary
trends in food prices.
Oh well. Most likely the Jesuit faculty
and administration probably felt that the
good Christian' gentlemen of Fairfield
were dying - literally - for a scrump­tuous
fish dinner just like the ones they
used to have every Friday-even though
Szabo served the fish on Wednesday.
Hmmm? Something smells.

Hypocrisy?
To the Editor:
Hypocrisy
During the recent semester break,
several students had their room search­ed
which included the searching of one's
drawers. This, the administration claims,
is their right. However, during the same
time, if anything was stolen or missing,
the administration claims it was not re­sponsible.
It would appear to me, that
if the administration has the right to
search a student's room and personal
belongings, that it also has the responsi­bility
to protect the student's room and
personal belongings. However, since I
doubt whether the administration is
willing to take the responsibility because
of value of some students' belongings, I
suggest they refrain from searching
students' rooms. If this is not done, I
suggest that students who have their
rooms violated take legal action against
the University.
Sincerely yours,
William R. Perry '69

Principal ConclusioDS
Still more convincing is
NAPR's final report on its
recently conducted celibacy sur­veys.
Among its principal con­clusions
are:
1. Those priests desiring a
change in present celibacy laws
feel that the change should be
brought about through episco­pal
leadership.
2. More than 7000 American
priests want optional celibacy.
3. "Celibacy is not a closed
issue:' There was a marked
increase in responses, especial­ly
favorable ones, in NAPR's
September survey over the sur­vey
conducted in June. During
.thP. interval Paul VI's encycli­cal
Sacerdotalis Coellbatus was
released. The statement was
assumed by some to be the final
word on the issue.
In a statement sent to NAPR,
Hans Kung lias said, ''There
·will be no rest about this matter
In the Catholic Church untU
celIbacy is again, :as it was orl­glnaJIy,

Urged
Association
Celibacy
The frustration experienced
in petitioning bishops to enter
into the dialogue with their
diocesan priests has been dis­heartening.
In a cable sent to
Pope Paul VI, Fr. Allen Carter,
Vice·President of NAPR, noted
that "Of 850 letters of appeal,
only 12 were afforded the cour·
tesy of an acknowiedgement;
none produced the desired dill.'
logue."

so on and so forth throughout

Little World
Bitterness and indignation
now exist where apathy and
indecision recently reigned. As
for their feeling about Ameri­can
bishops on the whole, one
member said, "They have their
()wn little world which ·is as
heavily guarded as Mother Su­perior's
bedroom." A not her
asked, "What happens when
professional, proper approaches
are met with unprofessional
'door-slamming', naive antede­luvianism,
paternalistic knuckle­rapping
and medieval brava­do?"
Perhaps one of the most
potent arguments in favor of
optional celibacy is that which
hinges on the inalienability of
.the right to marriage that
Popes John XXIII and Pius XI
'have spoken of. According to
this .argument, "No one can ali­enate
an inalienable right,
neither L'le lawgiver nor the in­dividual."
As Paul VI wrote in
Populorum Progressio: "Where
the inalienable right to mar­riage
and procreation is lacking,

Moments of Intrigue

several moments of intrigue for
a few people and, in fact, has

third of a century will take

By Pastoral
By BILL BERTIER
"I fear that in America, there will be an explosion somewhere. A blockbuster. If I have a mes­sage
to the American bishops that is it. You may have all the money in the world but that it no sub­stitute
for intelligence." This sober warning was is sued by Dutch Augustinian Prior Robert Adolfs in
a LOOK magazine interview (1-23-68) and is but one of many similar recent statements which point
to the critical need for pastoral renewal in the United States.
Critical Situation ----------------------
The situation is critical. One
theologian feels that unless
there is a drastic change in hier­archical
attitudes and outdated
decrees, one out of every six
American priests will leave the
active ministry. Many, how­ever,
are beginning to feel that
this is a conservative estimate.
In the midst of this tremen­dous
turmoil there has emerged
an organization of priests and
laymen dedicated to pastoral
renewal. Founded little over a
year ago, the National Associa­tion
for Pastoral Renewal
boasts a membership of over
2000 and to this date has con­cerned
itself primarily with the
subject of priestly celibacy. Its
impact is said to have prompted
a statement reaffirming com­pulsory
celibacy released in
Washington, D.C., by the Na­tional
Conference of Catholic
Bishops.
Individual Option
The NAPR sponsored a semi­nar
entitled Clerical Celibacy:
An Option In the Priesthood at
Notre Dame University in
September, 1967. The partici-pants
passed several controver­sial
resolutions recommending
that "diocesan priests of the
Latin Rite have the individual
option of the celibate or the
married state while retaining
their active ministry" and that
those priests who have left or
will leave the active ministry
"be permitted to do so with
dignity and honor."

The idea was right; the quantities, alas, were not. When
the Commandant arrived, Basil, alas, was so torpid that
he could not raise his bloated arm in a proper salute. He

MORNINGS AT SEVEN•••AND
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
ABOUT IT
Any man who says morning is the best time of day is
either a liar or a meadow lark.
There is only one way to make morning enjoyable:
sleep till noon. Failing that, the very best you can do is to
make morning tolerable. This, I am pleased to report, is
possible if you will follow three simple rules:
1. Shave properly.
By shaving properly I mean shaving quietly. Don't use
a blade that whines and complains. Morning being a time
of clanger and anger, use a blade that neither clangs nor
angs. Use a blade that makes no din on your chin, no
squeak on your cheek, no howl on your jowl, no rip on
your lip, no waves while it shaves. Use, in short, Personna
Super Stainless Steel Blades.
I have been shaving for 71 years (not too impressive
until one considers that I am 49 years old) and I am here
to tell you that the quietest blade I know is Personna. I not
only shave with Personna, but I also admire it. Old vir­tues
reappear in Personna; old values are reborn. Per­sonna
is a modest blade, an undemanding blade. Personna
does not rasp and tug, yelling, "Hey, lookit me!" No, sir,
not Personna! Silently, respectfully, unobtrusively, Per­sonna
whisks your whiskers with nary a whisper. It
shucks your soil and stubble without toil and trouble.
Why, you hardly know it's there, this well-bred Personna
blade, this paragon of punctilio.
Moreover, this crown of the blade-maker's art, this
epitome of epidermal efficacy, is available both in Double­edge
style and Injector style. Do your kisser a favor: get
some.
2. Breakfast properly.
I assert that a Personna shave is the best of all possible
shaves. But I do not assert that a Personna shaye, brac­ing
though it may be, is enough to prepare you for the
hideous forenoon ahead. After shaving you must eat an
ample breakfast. .
Take. for example, the case of Basil Metabolism, a soph­omore
at V.M.I. Basil, kii.owing there was to be an inspec­tion
by the Commandant one morning, prepared by stor­ing
up energy. He recognized that coffee and juice would
not sustain him, so he had a flitch of bacon, a clutch of
eggs, a batch of bagels, a notch of ham, a bunch of butter,
a swatch of grits, a hutch of honey, a patch of jelly, a
thatch of jam, a twitch of pepper, and a pinch of salt.

Neighboring P1Julets
A large part of our space -pro­gram
is cOrulerned with the ex­ploration
of -neighboring planets.
The Surveyor launches to study
the moon, the Mariner probes
past Venus, and the proposed
_Voyager satellite to study the
planet Mars have been parts of
this program.
A primary early goal of these
studies is to map the exposed
minerals on these 'Planetary sur­faces.
For several years, work
has been in progress at the
NASA Goddard Space Flight
Center in Greenbelt, Maryland
to develop for launching in -II
satellite, light, rugged equipment
which will send back informa­-
tion on planetary surfaces. Dr.
Warren Hovis of the NASA
center has been directing work
to develop highly sensitive
equipment which studies the
way in which the heat energy
coming from the sun is ab­sorbed
and reflected by surface
minerals. This approach seems
.extremely promising as a way
to classify and map these min­erals.
Further Development
During the past two years in­struments
of this type have
been flown in aircraft over areas
of North and South America to
test their ability to detect
known surface minerals on
earth. Progress has advanced to
the point where more detailed
studies of particular areas of
the Earth's surface are needed
to permit further development
of the equipment. The present

With the rising significance
of music as a mea-os of expres·
sion in an urban world, there
has appea'!'-ed the usual array
of voices, interpreters, and
prophets of every description,
ranging from Murray the K to
Mahareshi Mahesh Yogi. Among
the best, however, are: the
voice: WNEW·FM (102.'7) (re·
placing WOR.FM); the inter·
pretel'8: Richard Goldstein, (in
the Times and especially in the
Village Voice) and Robert
Christgau (Esquire).
Dyn1lolllic Art Form
The new music is speaking
to our age. It has become the
primary outlet of the poets and
prophets reaching for an au­dience
which would rather listen
than read, and it has become a
vital and dynamic art form in
and of itself. It is the voice of
our world. Come and listen.

The last spveral years have seen a virtual renaissance in popular music. An electronicalIy and
technologIcally cross referenced urban society has turned te music for both expression and escape.
Folk mUSIC, rock 'n roll, and pop music have undc~'gone tremendous changes and become rather
l~sely consolidated into what may be termed "ur"an folk," providing a living forum for the em(}o
tlOns and problems of the megalopolitical age.
Beatles and Dylan
The two most dominant forces
in this process of revitalization
have unquestionably been the
Beatles and Dylan. The Beatles
reintroduced American audi­ences
to their own roots in pop­ular
music; VIerI' among the
first to experiment seriously
with electronic music in popular
music; were the first to reinter·
pret classical (Yesterday) and
Oriental (Norwegian Wood)
themes; and have been the most
consistently creative foree in
music in the last five years.
-Dylan brought a much needed
appreciation of the value of
poetry in music; hit directly witl)
a kind of eerie intuition at the
hangups of an incredibly befud·
died and befuddling society. He
was picked up by the Byrds and
the Turtles and in turn influ·
enced by them. He went into
their world and revolutionized
it. His disciple<i took up the lead·

Legal Aid Society
Formed On Campus
A Legal Aid Society of pre­law
and other interested stud­ents
is now being formed on
campus. It is to be affiliated
with the St. hes Pre-Legal
Guild and F.U.C.A.P. According
to Frank Mandanici, who is or­ganizing
the society, "it is the
first legal aid society on any
college campus in the country."
The function of the society
will be to assist attorneys work­ing
in poverty areas in Bridge­port
and elsewhere. Legal re­search
and investigation will
constitute the main duties of the
society's members, allowing the
attorneys more time to utilize
their technical legal training in
serving their clients.
The aim of the organization
will be to help bring about an
awareness among the less for­tunate
and alienated people of
our society that the law, if they

Other business handled at the

This bill, which would allow a
proposed bil to be improved in

Now, that's a pretty funny thing for a

But the Air Force can make such offers.
As an officer in the world!s largest

Right where the Space Age break­throughs
are happening.
Or how about the executive respon­sibility
of a test pilot clocking 2,062 mph

That could be you, too.
But you don't have to be a pilot in the
Air Force to move fast. With your college
degree you zip into Officer Training
School, spin out an officer, speed on
your way as an executive, in the fore­front
of modern science and technology.
Right on the ground.

Proportion of Men
Dr. Pusey suggested that
"rather than drafting men in
order of their birth dates, a
system s h 0 u 1 d be devised
whereby each age group from
19 through 25 would provide a
proportion of men for the draft

method would significantly les­~

Musical
Auditions
The lively musical "Walking

of the University Play­ers
Company, according to di­rector
Robert G. Emerich.
Mr. Emerich, who has guided
the University Players through
two successful musical produc­tions
in the last two years, noted
that special auditions will be
held for this year's musical at
2 p.m., Sunday, February 18 at
the Playhouse. Needed are male
and female singers and dancers,
and character actors.

word changes have been made.
"Smallest Country"
Speaking about the subject,
Mr. Kister commented that,
"The students are the smallest
country in the three country
system of the Fairfield Com­munity."
The Tri-Partite Body
would act as a U.N. and the
U.N. can only enhance the
smallest country in the body.
Mr. Kister said that he was
"happy to see the academic
council recently appoint a sub­committee
to consider the three
part body."
The faculty subcommittee is
to report to the Academic Coun­cil
and the Academic Council to
the entire body of the faculty.
Reprimand
After the rules were rein­stated
in the meeting, Kevin
Cosgriff proposed a resolution
to reprimand Mr. Bocchini for
his actions. The resolution was

Mr. Cunningham thcn asked
about the feasibility of a special
session of the legislature for its
approval of the money. In an­swer
Mr. Bocchini said, "I felt
we just had to do it." He no:ed
that the money was needed in
three days, and that he and the
C'xecutive board didn't feel that

their damages. While admitting
that it is not the easiest thing
to convict a fellow student, the
Resident Director cited it as
one of the few avenues left
because "communication and
logic just don't seem to work."
He said that a program such as
this puts a great deal of weight
upon the more mature student.
'Refunds
Concerning the means by
which to receive a refund if
one of the vending, machines
fails to work, Mr. Bianchi
suggested seeing the service

day or by leaving your name at
the cafeteria. He said that "re­funds

The campus newspaper is the voice of the student. It should
be an accurate chronicle of events both on and off campus which
are significant to the student, and should reflect with clarity the
trend of student thought regarding these areas. If such thought is
not present, the student paper should attempt to stimulate it.
The sports department should be an integral part of the stu­dent
paper, just as sports should be an integral part of c~mpus
life. Sports should provide a recreation outlet on the intramural
level and a chance to participate and take pride in what one's
classmates and school can do on an intercollegiate varsity leveL
The sports department should chronicle what is happening in
all intramural and varsity sports, reflect the students' feelings on
sports at Fairfield, and praise the strong points and criticize the
shortcomings of the athletic system. It should attempt to stimulate
and spark interest in sports on the participator and spectator levels.
Most importantly, the student newspaper should assist Its par,
ticular university in its goals by providing the student with an
avenue whereby he can increase his" skill in the English language
by being an active contributor to the paper. At a liberal arts col·
lege, this is a must.
In many of these aspects, THE STAG, and most particularly
the sports department of THE STAG, is a failure. THE STAG is
undermanned, shorthanded and poorly staffed. It is kept alive, not
by a large and competent staff, but by a few determined and
energetic students who frequently sacrifice their grades and their
general sanity to keep the paper coming o.ut weekly.
The complacent student who picks up his weekly copy and
never really wonders about the process by which it got there is
often critical of THE STAG. He might accuse it of not being
dynamic, of not being controversial enough. He never realizes that
it is seven day murder just putting a paper together, let alone
being critical or controversial.
The sports department is the most woefully stalfed pa··t 01 the
paper. At present, the department consists of five stalf men and
two editors. For a college with 1,500 undergrads, this Is somewhat
horrendous. For this reason, the sports department is often unable
to provide lesser sports with the coverage they deserve.
A newspaper, and all of its departments, should be more than
merely its members. It should be something that stands and pros·
per!! without being forced to depend on a small circle of people.
Until Fairfield realizes this, its newspaper wUl be second rate.

Spearheaded by the scoring
and rebounding punch of their

Tom Purcell, the frosh court­men

rally by Fairleigh Dickinson
and then pulling away to win

ranked teams rely and around
which coaches hub their high
powered offenses.
One of the prime ingredients
for Fairfield's success on the
hardwood this season has been
the inexpendable play of Sol
Crenshaw at the glamorous
and vital pivot position. While
the 6-5 Monessan Pa. native
lacks the physical advantages
of his counterparts, he never­theless
has performed on a par
with, and often outshone his
tall e 1', huskier opponents,
blending his renowned leaping
ability with sheer determination.
His task is admittedly difficult
"It drains you physically to play
constantly ngainst a bigger
man, but the incentive keeps
you going."
Admittedly not at a peak
mentally due to relative inactivi­ty
during his first two varsity
campaigns, the goateed senior
nailed down a startling position
this season and has made his
presence felt in all phases of
the game.
Sol's key assests are his fab­ulous
jumping ability and a pair
of lengthy wings, enabling him
to rebound with the best, get
up high to score on his turn­around
jumper, and smother
his man on defense.
The first real indication of
his ability came four years ago,
when playing against the na­tionally
aeclaiined Boston Col­lege
frosh, he hooked in 29
markers and roped in an equal
amount of rebounds. His top
varsity effort on the boards
cam e last season against
Georgetown when he hogged 18
caroms.
But this season the lanky
leaper has really come into his
own. When opposed by All­American
Elvin Hayes of the
top ranked Houston Cougars,
the brash Crenshaw won no less
than three of four taps, hauled
in a dozen rebounds, poped in
16 points, and treated the "Big
E" to a "Wilson Sandwich."
He claims to get the most

THE STAG

The intramural basketball
league completed its second
week of action as the races in
both leagues tightened.
Led by Andy Soltys' 15 points,
the frosh from Loyola 3S over­came
an eight .point deficit and
nipped the Baggers, 49-47, at
the buzzer. The losers were led
by Bob Pavia who poured in 15
points.
Another freshman team, Gon­zaga

straight victory over L2S,

oranges, tennis balls and other
debris.
Fairfield jumped to an 8·4
lead and increased it to a 27·18

the half, with Jones and Cren·

but Dayton quickly shot into
the large lead which they main­tained
for the rest of the game.
Two significant statistics tell
the whole story. Dayton shot
52.6% from the floor to Fair·

were crushed underneath by
last year's NCAA finalists, 65·
86, to prm,ide Dayton with num·
erous second and third shots
which they usually didn't need.
The Flyers, highly touted In the

form, and against the Stags,
flashed the style of play that
they have lacked 80 far,

inspired ball in the final mo­ments
by controlling the boards
and getting three crucial free
throws to give the Stags their
eleventh win in eighteen en­counters.
He held 6' 6" Bob
