On April 24, 1968, Fairfield students will be able to vote for
the presidential candidate of their choice, in conjunction with
CHOICE '68, a nationwide college election sponsored by TIME

Vol 19 No. 16
In a complete reversal of sentiment, the Student Government Legislature defeated a reprimand
measure and a resolution condemning the President as virtually ineffective. Instead, in a special ses­sion
broadcast by WVOF last Wednesday evening Mr. Bocchini was given a vote of confidence for
his work in the future. The special session was called at the request of President Bocchini to answer
questions raised about the freshman rebate bill and the financial dealings of Mardi Gras committee.

A resolution was introduced
by Representative James Cun­ningham

project is the Traveling Pane!.
This "kick off" panel, as Mr.
Bianchi noted, tries to reach
white adults. and students in
this area.
There are 55 to 100 members
in YIC. The governing board is
made up of the heads of the
various projects with an elected
Chairman and Secretary and an
appointed treasurer.
Recruitment Program
The organization, though uni­que
in the area, is taking root
in the neighboring colleges.
Next year the membership will
continue the work without a
marked loss of experienced men.
This factor, along with the
measured change in attitude
due to success of the group and
fear of the past riots, has
!!trengthened the certainty of a
successful recruitment program
which is to begin in March.
Today this o"ganization is
moving along at a slow pace,
due not so much to political or
social problems, but to economic
blocks. This past semester YIC
was granted $300 by the Student
Government. Yet most, if not
all of the money, goes to trans­portation,
the rest of the fin­ances
coming from the pockets
of the members. The situation
only mirrors the national scene
- lack of funds for a program
that has the general welfare of
the Nation in mind.
Why Go On'
And why do all this? Why
go on? "Some act out of a re­ligious
commitment or human­ism
- though most reasons are
religious; and some, for fear,
fear of what's going to happen
if something isn't done now -,
something which should have
started 10 years ago. If there
was a miracle of commitment
of the majority of Americans,
perhaps there would be hope;
as Congress rejects Soc i a 1
Legislation, it becomes hard to
take a stand and do something
about it. But if you can stop
what's going to happen in the
summer, then it's worth it."

Bill Luddy, Chairman of the
Executive Board, and Jim De­fronzo,
head of the Panel proj­ect,
continued operating for
months despite this sort of op­position.
Both men felt, how­ever,
that the opposition could
be traced to a lack of under­standing
of what the group was
all about.
Unique Intention
The unique intention of this
social action group is an en­deavor
to mobilize the middle
and working dass segments of
the population of Fairfield and
Westchester counties to help
solve the social problems of the
cities.
Mr. Ronald Bianchi, who. as
the moderator of the group, has
probably done the most work
to get this group recognized,
emphasized that "the greatest
advantage of the YIC is that it
brings the Civil Rights question
into the White Community, be­sides
dealing with 'priority
people' (underprivileged per­sons)."
This involves education
by bringing about a more factu­al
outlook for evaluating the sit­uation
and recruitment of work­ers
to serve on social service
projecfs in the area. "To bridge
the ever-widening gap between
suburb and ghetto" is the busi­ness
of the YIC.
Projects
One of the projects initiated
to attempt this bridging is the
Harlem Street Academy, which
in partnership with the Nation­al
Urban League, holds classes
for Harlem high school drop­outs
to help them return to
school and then go on to college.
In conjunction with the College
of New Rochelle, the YIC runs
a Community Center in Port
Chester. There is also a tutor­ing
program in Bridgeport and
a Film Seminar to educate
members and non - members
alike. Perhaps the most unique

Last Saturday night before the largest political mass meeting ever held in Fair­field

administration and turned into no more than a mouthpiece for the administration."
ent Fairfield' juniors.
Another focal point of the
three-day convention is the elec­tion
of majority leaders in the
Senate and the House. Mike Jan­son
is a candidate for majority
leader'in the house. As last
year's bill chairman, he was
successful in having a bill 'pass­ed
for Albertus Magnus.
When questioned about his
chances of bdng elected, Mr.
Janson said that, "if a vote was
taken now, the outcome of the
election would be close. Al­though
I am running against a
competent individual, I do not
think it will be a runaway for
either myself or my opponent."
Mr. Janson stated further that
the outcome of the election de­pends
not only on the candi­date's
thorough knowledge of
Robert's Rules of Order, but on
his ability to convince the dele­gates
that he is the best man
for the position.
Meeting Tomorrow
Anyone interested in joining
CISL should attend a meeting
to be held tomorrow. Mr. Jan-'
son said that "I would encour­age
anyone to attend despite
the fact that it is late in the
year. The challenge of con­fronting
the best people each
school has to offer is a central
point in this activity. This
should encourage even those
who are not considering poli­tical
careers to attend.
Gras Committee was obliged to
pay the Mitch Ryder Revue in
advance and since not enough
pre·concert tickets were sold to
cover the payment, he felt that
the Financial Committee could
not handle the situation on its
own.
The Student Government gave
to the Mardi Gras Financial
Committee $2,500, plus an addi­tional
$1,209.88 to insure the
weekend against a law suit by
the Mitch Ryder Revue for nop-­payment.
Mr. Higgins said he
has in his possession $730 at
present. and expects an addition­al
$200. He also said in referring
to unpaid bills, that "a financial
report will come out as soon as
these facts come in."
Final Debt
Higgins originally estimated
the Mardi Gras debt to be about
$4,400. James Maggenheimer
corrected this by pointing out
that the Mardi Gras did not owe
the Student Government an ini­tial
$530 grant for the weekend,
thus reducing the debt to the ap­proximate
sum of $3,800. Hig­gins
forsees a final debt _to the
Government "in the neighbor­hood
of $100 to $150, possibly
$200." He disclosed no details
as to how or when the debt
would be repaid.

The strike arose over the use
of window washers who were
of a different, union than th'e
Bridgeport laborers, and. as ,a,
result of this, - all the laborers
walked off the job. Mr. Dunigan
noted, That because of the
strike, the contractor had lost
many of his laborers and that
it would take him a few days
to obtain other workers.
3 or 4 Days
Once the e I e vat 0 I' is
com pIe ted, Mr. Dunigan
estimated th'at it would take
"three of four days" to move
the furniture in and get the
dorm ready for occupation.
However, it was indicated that
someone in authority would
have to decide just how many
inconveniences the students will
be able to put up with. before
any move to the new dorm can
t'lke _place.
Some of the inconVEniEnces
which the students moving into
the dorm are likely to incur are
uncompleted lounges, noise from
construction going on on lower
floors, and lack of a CEnter
stairway. It was mentioned
however, that these inconveni­ences
are minor compared to
those of having to live three ip.
a room, as is presently the case
for freshmen.
Student Attitude
In conclusion, Mr. Dunigan
indicated that he was "vcry
happy with the attitude of the
students." He said that he was
trying everything in his power
to get the dorm. ready for oc­cupation
as soon as possible.

In regard to the elevator, Mr.

should be completed by the end
of the week. The controls are
completed, the hoistway doors

should soon begin on assemb­ling

is an important key to the oc­cupation

that "a political party is

it is his duty to effect reforms.

The A.P.A. - Phoenix Reper­tory
Company over the years
has consistently put on first
rate productions of great thea­tre
classics. They have just
opened another fine production,
Ionesco's "Exit the King," and
in so doing, they have exposed
American audiences to a daring
innovation in comic form.
"Exit the King," a play of
great personal importance to its
author, concerns a mythological
King who is told that he is to
die in an hour and a half, at
the end of the play. We are
told that his kingdom is falling
apart and we see him fall apart
before our very eyes, gradually
losing all his royal rand per­sonal
powers, until at last he
disappears, helpless, in death.
The king is obviously meant to
symbolize Everyman, and his
country, the world; what we
are seeing in "Exit the King"
is the ritual death of Man in
an existentialist cosmos.
The innovation in the play is
this: despite the grim subject
matter and the almost dogged­ly
serious treatment, the play
is structurally a comedy, if we
consider the technical definition
of a comedy: a play in which
the climax is the point of great-

3nnovalion
Recently I went to Boston College to visit my brother. Maybe
I'm just a naive boy from the swamps of New Jersey but I was
truly startled. It wasn't the size or the girls on campus that was
j}e shocker. No, these things, .both big and feminine I'd seen
Oeeting before at Fairfield. Rather it was tne feeling that even
the Freshmen were being treated as men: They could come and
leave as they wanted and study or sit and doodle with almost
total freedom. More than startled, I should say I was envious be­cause
of the restrictions imposed on me by my school. Perhaps I
would have shrugged it off as another example of Fairfield's atti­tude
toward young men if I hadn't spoken to the prefects on the
floor about their system. Both expressed the hope that Faimeld
would outgrow its present attitude towards the "boys." I got the
impression that they highly respected the students' sense of judg~
ment and responsibility. Beyond this, I understood that they sin-cerely
feel this to be the only way to treat young m~n. .
All the way back to school on Monday afternoon, I thought
enviously of the environment at B.C. But, as I write this colurim,
I can't help thinking that a system such as they have, and as
many of us on campus have advocated, does have some inherent
dangers. I would hate to see the pendulum swing too far in the
direction opposite to paternalism. Certainly no one on campus
would like to see Fail'field turn into another Stoney Brook. I'm
not attempting to justify the system as we now have it. We all
know, or at least sense, that conditions could be a lot better than
they' ate, if the present set of restrictions were at least loosened.
In my dealings with the school authorities, I sometimes get·
the impression that our (esteemed) administration considers stu­dents
as me.rely children who need protection at every turn and a
strong arm to support them in times of stress. This· administration
posture m\,lst stop" but the idea that the administration must abdi­cate
all responsibility to the students is just as foolhardy as the
present system. Might I suggest, instead of a sign-in system as we
now have it, that prefects keep a personal check on individual
students On their particular corridors without being obtrusive
about it. This of course would demand a more understanding atti­tude
and a. spirit of restraint on the prefects' part. This restraint
would be incumbent upon the students as they would be expected
to be as responsible about their behavior as the administration is
supposed to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Dean's Office man.
However, I believe that when the students and administration de­cide
to change the rules, that they do it in a manner which leaves
room for student. freedom without usurpation of administrative
powers. Such a system would eliminate the trappings of patern­alism
which we deplore, without losing the benefits of effective
administrative control.

theme, as it appears now, will
be based on the concepts of,
"student responsibility, integri­ty,
maturity, and Christian com­mitment."
Approach
Two ideas havp been pro­posed
by the members of the
committee as an approach to
the revision of the handbook.
The first idea would' involve a
deletion or revision of certain
sections of the current hand­book.
The other approach would
include an over-all 'renovation
of the handbook, especially in
its scope and content.
One criticism that was over­whelmingly
voiced by the com­mittee
was that the Administra­tion,
at the present time, as­sumes
the irresponsibility and
immaturity of the student, and
only gives him "special privi­leges."
when he has proven
himself. The committee felt -that
this situation should be re­versed
and the student giVEn
almost absolute freedom at the
beginning of the year. Then, if
the student shows his irrespon­sibility
and immaturity by abus­ing
the privileges, these can be
taken away. As the situation
stands now, the student is as­sumed
to be guilty, unless hlC'
can prove himself otherwise.
Ideas or Suggestions
The committee has issued
a request that anyone with
ideas or suggestions concerning
next year's handbook should
get in touch with one of the
members of the committee.
By JIM RUANE
The Student Handbook presentC'd next year may be entirely

places like Vietnam. This self·
imposed censorship coupled with
the one enforced by the South
Vietnamese and United States
governments combine to form
the "credibility gap."
Television's War
Vietnam and the difficulties
in reporting news there were
also discussed. Vietnam was re­ferred
to as "television's first

He commented that despite sev­eral
problems, "We are doing

Effective as Possible
Mr. Pritchard, outlining the
workings and problems of a
news agency, said although
"great strides have been made
in modern news covering, I
wonder whether we are using
the news-gathering force as ef­fectively
as possible." He saw
news deadlines as posing a par­ticular
problem to an agency.
A round·table discussion fol­lowing
the opening statements
turned to current controversial
topics. The most pressing topic
seemed to be the "credibility
gap." Mr. Pritchard described
the "credibility gap" as "the
differences between what the
government says and what real·
ly happens." One of the reasons
given for the "credibility gap"
was a self-imposed censorship
by newsmen covering stories in

Citing the !lroblems of a news'

the thr-:!e factors involved
in reporting npws as, "getting
the news, writing the story, and

phase with personal experiences
he had in Laos and Indonesia.

With the recent cut in graduate school draft deferments, it has
become evident that the war is not by any stretch of the imagination
going well. Indeed, at this time in particular, it would seem that the
prospects of an allied "victory" in Vietnam are exceedingly dim.
Now the American people must ask themselves: how much
more are we to sacrifice? Are we to give our all for a cause which
our own government finds difficult to justify to us? We, the
Editorial Buard of THE STAG, deplore the manner in which the gov­ernment
reached such a decision and hope this drastic measure will
somehow be rectifiea-.
We express our strongest disapproval of such wholesale elimina­tions.
That the national government should have reached such a far­reaching
decision without consulting more closely educators who had
proposed less drastic and more realistic plans is ominous. Education
has truly become a tool of the government. It is evident that the needs
of the nation are being gauged by what little political furor a certain
action will produce among the electorate in an election year.

Price Of Victory
Pa.ge Six
In a week that saw new attacks on Saigon, renewed peace feelers
from Hanoi, massive marches against the war in Rome, Berlin, and
London, and a significant drop in President Johnson's popularity,
graduate school deferment cuts are raising particular protests from
educators. It is true that previous draft regulations in this area tended
toward indirect discrimination against those "who lack the social and
economic advantages to pursue graduate study." The current revi­sion,
however, will have profound effects on educational processes
throughout the country for years. Besides delivering a crushing blow
to the humanities and social sciences, the elimination of graduate de­ferments
will also gravely affect industries requiring advanced de­grees
for research programs and thus the future economic state of
the nation.
Time Of Decision LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Today Student Government campaigns officially begin. This is a
critical time for the student-voter, in that he will be exercising his
right to choose capable leaders for his campus. We realize that Stu­dent
Governments in the past have not enjoyed the support of many
students. These students were disheartened ano disillusioned by the
poor performance of some governing officials and legislative bodies,
as exemplified by the spectacle of the last government meeting.
We know that involvement in campus politics is a demanding
activity that requires much dedication of time and effort. Those stu­dents
who seek government positions must be prepared to accept this,
challenge. And those students who are electing them must also accept
the challenge to be discriminating in their choice.
Silent Faculty

often been angered and embarrassed at
the lack of public witness by our fac­ulty
in matters of social conscience. Sun­day

Vietnam, Johnson or McCarthy; These
ads usually contain hundreds of signa­tures

the opportunity for a strong show
of intellect and conscience.

Yellow Journalism?
To the Editor:
There seemlj to be little doubt that the
STAG's Closed C8Be may have actually
been its own coffin. Although I do not
question the moral integrity of the Edi­torial
Board or the sincerity of the au­thor
of the lead story, I cannot help but
feel the editorial of 2-14-68 and the lead
story of the same date were not only
poorly researched, poorly documented,
but also poorly portrayed. The sense of
travesty br,ought up in the government
debate can be aptly applied to the past
editorial.
Aside from research, or the lack of it,
THE STAG seemed caught up in the
emotionalism of the issue, violated the
proposition of a rational open mind, and
possibly dragged itself down in the mire
of head hunting and self-glorification.
The possibility of "yellow journalism"
to announce the arrival of a new STAG
regime so well glorified on page 1, is
frightening. The use of the press to con­demn
a man who has not even vaguely
been found guilty may be called libel or
worse.
Although I am impressed by the social
conscience of the new board, their ac­tions
cannot be justified, DOl tolerated.
Their "overwhelming evidence of gross
negligence" isa travesty in its own
right. They have placed themselves in
the position of judge, jury and hangman
only to hang themselves. This is unfor­tunate.
A formal apology to Mr. Boc­chini
must be demanded.
In their second editorial of 2-14-68
Where We Stand, which I personally
feel is underwater, the board states,
"We are certain that the students will
respond to this challenge of making their
newspaper as effective and reflective of
themselves as possible," is interesting
but impossible until THE STAG board
itself grows up. I cannot feel but that
they have indeed made a mockery of
themselves, of the students, and of the
fielu and theory of -journalism.
Finally, "yellow journalism" to end
apathy increases the apathy through a
lack of faith. If the primary necessity
of a newspaper is research, and a search
for the unbiased truth, THE STAG has
failed miserably. The "National Enquir­er"
may be more in keeping at times
wi:h the theory of good journalism than
THE STAG and probably less concerned
with self-glorification. I can only hope
that the next time THE STAG board
opens its mouth it is not to change feet.
Respectfully,

Easter Vacation
To the Editor:
To: All students planning to visit Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, during the spring
holidays 1968.
From: R. H. Bubier, City Manager,
City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
I would like to take this opportunity
to welcome you to our City and sincerely
hope that your stay will be a pleasant
and memorable experience.
In order that neither you nor the City
incur any unpleasantness, the following
suggestions and policies have been in­stituted
and will be adhered to unequi­vocally.
1. Do not come to Fort Lauderdale
unless you definitely have a confirmed
housing reservation. Our policies and
ordinances prohibit sleeping in cars and/
or sleeping in the open. Campers or
trailers are not permitted to park on the
beach. If this type vehicle is to be used
as living quarters it must be parked in
a trailer park specifically licensed for
this pu'rpose.
2. All the laws that govern the con­duct
of the individual will be enforced.
A person must be 21 years of age in
order to purchase or consume alcohol.
Persons guilty of intoxication, (it should
be noted that drinking in the open is not
permitted) narcotics, use of false iden­tification,
creating unnecessary noise or
any other form of disorderly conduct and
any other unlawful act will be arrested
and prosecuted. Violations of the traffic
code will result in apprehension and
prosecution of the offender.
3. Parents and school officials of any
and all students arrested during this
period will be officially notified.
Students should be aware of the fact
that persons who are arrested and con­victed
on any charge will have estab­lished
a permanent, and sometimes
criminal, record against themselves
which could have a detrimental influ­ence
later in life.
It is the feeling of the City Commis­sion,
this office and 3.11 of the City de­partments
involved, that if your conduct
while in Fort Lauderdale follows your
personal guidelines whqe on campus,
that your vacation will indeed be a
pleasant and memorable experience.
Cordially,

if I were

Graduate School
of Communica­tions
to apoint a
-committee to conduct a thor­ough,
impartial investigation of
existing conditions on campus,
and present its findings in a
public statement for the bene­fit
of the entire University. Any
remedies which the committee
deems plausible would also be
made public. Only then will
there be a substantial basis
upon which both Administra­tion
and students may meaning­fully
discuss their problems.
I offer this as a positive pre­liminary
solution to the recent
cry of "lack of communica­tion."
Rather than to constant­ly
complain, which I believe
would be a negative position, I
feel that both administration
and students should strive for
positive steps to remedy this
situation, and therefore create
a greater sense of unity here
at Fairfield.

I would endeavor to see in­dividually

what they had

knowing what
was on their

better be able
to function with

Finally, I would try to make

barrier across the seventeenth parallel. If you believe that" then
you probably also believe that the recent National Liberation Front
raids on province capitals represent significant defeats for the
enemy, another quaint little fiction which the Administration would
like to have you swallow.
The Administration dropped out of character and made one
concrete statement. The Defense Department categoricaly denied
that the U.S. is shipping nuclear weapons to Vietnam. That is sup­posed
to allay your fears. The fact, however, is that nuclear
weapons are already aboard Seventh Fleet aircraft carriers and
cargo ships off the coast of Vietnam and could be quickly moved
into South Vietnam, if it were considered necessary. We believe
that, in the eyes of the Administration, nuclear weapons have al­ready
been deemed necessary. What LBJ and the warmakers
need is a publicly jusU,fiable excuse. The impending military crisis
at Khesanh will be- the determining factor.
The Administration, specifically LBJ, cannot afford another
d~feat right now. Yet how does one explain our apparent inability
or unwillingness to reinforce or eva-cuate the 5,000 U.S. Marines
who are now .s-urrounded by a superior force of from 40,000 to
60,000 enemy troops? The Marines are shelled daily from the
nearby hills and a new factor of possible air power for the enemy
ha;; entered the picture. Six Russiar- built borrbers, recrntly
acquired by (he North Vietnamese, are stationed within striking
distance of the Marine base at Khesanh. General Wheeler, Chair­man
of the Joint Chiefs, has stated that nuclear weapons will not
be necessary because Khesanh will not fall. In a highly unusual
procedure, which says little for confidence within the government.
LBJ had Wheeler and the other joint chiefs sign a statement con­cerning
the security of the U.S. position at Khesanh. Given th!
strategic situation and the disproportionate odds, however, we
cannot help but doubt it.
pUblicity, and so forth.
Academically, there is much
to be accomplished. The num­ber
of required courses should
be reduced. More seminars
should be introduced. The hon­ors
prngram could be extended
to a greater segment of the
student population. More inter­disciplinary
and inter-depart­mental
courses should be in­augurated.
I would attempt to
place more emphasis on papers
and individual certainty and
rely less on examinations and
tests.
Fairfield should do much
more experimenting in the po­tential
and future of higher, ed­ucation,
even if it be at some
expense to large scale physical
piant development.

"Any consideration of the use of nuclear weapons in Vietnam
would be sheer lunacy." That was Harold Wilson's comment on
this week's rapidly spreading rumor concerning possible American
super-escalation in Vietnam. We urge you to note that he did not
say that the use of nuclear weapons would constitute an act of
lunacy. He said that even to consider it is madness. There are,
however, strong indications that Chairman Lyndon is not only
considering it but that the first steps have already been taken.
According to the New York Times, the rumor started with an
anonymous phone call to Senator Fulbright. The next day the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee discussed the possibility in
closed session. Fulbright was prompted to write a letter to Secre­tary
of State Rusk asking whether or not the rumor had any
foundation. Rusk did what Rusk does best. He evaded the question
with a statement which the Times categorized as "brusk" and "not
categorical." Employing a rather threadbare Administration tactic,
Rusk impugned Fulbright's responsibility rather than addressing
himself to the issue. Meanwhile two Senators, Clark and McCarthy,
themselves impeccably responsible, felt obliged to bring the matter
to public attention in corollary statements.
You might easily dismiss the actions of Fulbright, and Mc­Carthy
as politically opportune. Fulbright, you might contend, is
carried away with his new status as the Senate's leading liberal
and McCarthy h~ the best reason of all for trying to create
political capital from the issue. He wants to be President. Granted,
but this does not dispose of Rusk's unwillingness to reassure the
Senators with an outright denial. In point of fact, he could hardly
be categorical. The Administration has already dispatched a team
of four tactical nuclear weapons experts to South Vietnam. Osten­siblr

Remarkable Success
Despite the fact that many

period of three days, and that
quite a number of these ques­tions
were directed toward a so­lution,
no fixed goal was at-dicate
what the weekend had
meant to them. Such a gr('at
sense of community had de­veloped
during this experiment
in living that each group's cele­bration
clearly portrayed the
enormous amount of personal
communication that had been es­tablished;
each celebration por­trayed
the surmounting of the
facades which the participants
had presented to the world. and
the establishment of a basic in­ter-
personal relationship where­by
each member could freely

lives of others. Ample opportuni­ties
were offered for the parti­cipants
to enter into conversa­tions
with individual members

Midnight Mass
Aside from these discussion
sessions and individual contacts,
there was scheduled on Satur­day
night a hootenanny invoh'­ing
all the students and clergy,
and a poetry reading. A niid­night
Mass was offered for all
those who wished to attend. It
must be noted that this Mass
was particularly remarkable for
its demonstrating the communal
bond which had developed be­tween
the participants in the
short period of time that they

The yardstick for a team's
success or failure is usually
measured in terms of victory or
defeat. But occasionally a de­feated
team shows something
more - a character, a spirit,
a desire, which means much
more than wins or losses.
In the two tension-packed
losses against loca.l rivals Sa­cred
Heart and Bridgeport and
a lopsided win over Southern
Conn., a frosh squall riddled
and depleted by academic and
apathetic caaualities demon­strated
these· qualities mOllt
clearly •
Six RemaIn
Only six members of the ori~
-ginal team remain. Woody
Long and Tom Denning, thrust
into starting roles, have re­sponded
admirably. Pete Yaros'
key steals and scrappy hustle
distinguish his play.
Mark Frazer is a superh
ballplayer. One incredible move
stands out. He moves into the
key, coils low, .then spriilgs,
following through with an un·
canny touch and soft, arching'
shot. He has netted 91 poiilts
in the last three contests.
Tom Purcell is a vastly im­proved
ballplayer, now a star,
He's tough under the boards,
and has developed a quiet con­fidence
in his shot. He reminds
oneg~atly of S1:. Peter's Pete
O'Dea. Purcell came lip with 11.
high of 30- vs. SO\lthern. Tom
Finch has the perfect attitude.
He comes to play, and hit 31
vs. U.;B. .' .
Sacred Heart
Fairfield fell to Sacred Heart
116-102 in double overtime. The
yearlings fell' behihdearly, but
a tremendous 55 point second
half effort capped by Woody
Long's bucket with -11 seconas
left sent the game into over­time.
The fouling out of Yaros.
and Purcell in the second ove-r­time,
coupled with the loss -.of

In covering sports, one usual­ly
encounters two types of ath­letes.
The first of these is the
varsity athlete. To him sports
is a serious business. The s€"c­ond
type plays simply becau~e
he loves sports. Frequently he
is the more interesting of the
two personalities and is the
purer sportsman .
Bllly Casey, last year's most
valuable player in the intramur­al
program, is not a glamorous
star, but he typifies a particu­lar
strand of athlete who de­serves
as much recognition as
hIs varsity counterpart.
Casey, who hails from Weth­ersfield,
Connecticut, where he
was all-league in football and
basketball, is described by
former teammate John Walsh
as "the best footbail. player in
the school."
Casey' was the star on last
year's Campion 4 team which
captured the intramural cham­pionship.
He operated from the
end position in football, forward
in basketball and shortstop in
baseball, blending his ardent
competitive drive and leader­ship
as team captain to spark
C-4 to second, .first place
and third places respectively
giving them the championship.
Casey states that his main
reasons for playing intramural~
are to keep in shape and get to
know people, especially under­classmen,
and he praised the
intramural system as being con­ducive
to achieving this purpose.
He singles out Pete Mahr for
special praise for aligning the
intramural system intq its pres­ent
corridor competition, rather
than the strict captain basis in
Which it formerly operated.
Bill is not only a fine com­petitor
but also an excellent
fan, and is a rabid enthusiast
for all varsity sports, as evi­denced
by his trip to Houston
to see the Stags play the top­ranked
Cougars. He is involved
with the Knights of Columbus
in a basketball development
program for children in Bridge­port
and is also connected with
sports in the summer, working
for a park recreation program
in his home town.
A math major, Bill plans a
career as a math teacher after
college. Whlle his sports achiev­ments
at Fairfield admittedl;)"
will not long be remembered, it
is people like Bill Casey who
contribute so much toward
making sports an integral part
of college life.
By WILLIAM D'ALLESANDRO
Poised on the brink of a challenging conclusion to an already
contorted collegiate basketball season, Fairfield supporters and
quasi-followers can look back on the twenty-one game tour and
attempt to filter some sense from the jwnble of statistics and
newspaper copy that litters the way. Depending on the degree of
personal skepticism, the confidence poll on the Stags is appallingly
low.
Favorable publicity, when there was any, came out like a
gloved hand shake. Student attendance at the New Haven Bastille
wilted in the gloomy cold. A weak first third of the season, topped
by a devastating loss to St. Peter's (the third game of the year)'
apparently was enough to bury most pale,. pro-Stag fire that may
have existed on the basketball scene. Despite teeth shivering vic­tories,
mind-bending losses, and limelight opponents since then,
PR and fan reaction has been the polite, "yes I'm there," tap on
the knee kind.
It is clear on a wide scale th;t collegiate basketball has
reached the point where to administration, press, and student
body, the only meaningful result is achieved when the last column
of a Varsity Results table reads W-0-N from top to bottom. A
worSe symptom of hoop craze arises when the same parties re­place
the above three letters with five - M-O-N-E-Y.
There are several examples. Holy Cross, which has an ex­plosive,
double-barrelled team and a howitzer cheering section,
got a wierdly distorted, declaiming press arter their game with
UCLA in New York. What is evil about losing to the second best
team in the nation? The reaction on the Worcester campus and
in the community was no less than a call for re-evaluation of the
entire basketball program.
There was a blizzard in Boston after the perfectly competent .
BC Eagles happened to lose a goodly number of games. Coach
Bob Cousy manfully took the blame in the face of howling "sup­porters"
and reporters.
The fickle populace, which only wants you when you win,
is a team's hugest jinx.
Well, then, what about the Stags? Student opinion, outside of
hardcore troubleshooters who rally around the team in varying
shades of misconduct, is lukewarm. While papers in the 'imme­diate
vicinity have written objective nun-aggressive stories, many
making headlines, other media are not su responsive. Policy seems
to be: ignore Stags wins; ignore Stags losses; except when re­ferring
to them in disgressing stages of misnomer.
This persecution complex, which began three years ago, has
submerged campus enthusiasm to the point where a 108-72 vic­torious
drubbing can be considered unimpressive. At least It
should be an indication of the brand of ball Fairfield plays, one
which places us well beyond smalltime competition.
Back in December after the Georgetown-Fairfield game, one
of the Hoyas' starting ballplayers sat in a DC cafe and talked
about his team and basketball in general. At the time Georgetown
was on the rise and prospects for a brilliant season were good.
He voluntarily stated his own opinion that Fairfield was generally
considered to be a stronger basketball power than his own team,
than the other teams on that night's card, and had a greater
reputation than some teams in the New York area. Among
players and coaches, the people who face Fairfield on the court
on a yearly and nearly yearly basis, the Stags have arrived.
When the Stags make the scene in the outer circle is going
to be dictated by a variety of factors, not simply a mongoloid
schedule and a win streak the length of the Bonneville Salt Flats.
If the ·student body would back the team, win or lose, some of the
difficulty would be removed. The athletic office would still have
to discover the power of the printed word as well as a friendly
Varsity-student relationship.
Considering the personalities of the team members" support­ing
the Stags should be the shlgle most pleasurable task available
on the entire 200 campus acres.

Jack McKinney's club is spear·
headed by 5'10" soph guard

average and 6'~" forward MIke

The Hawks" whose record
stands 14-8, will be seeking re­venge
on the Stag squad which
snapped their 33 game, 10 year
home winning streak in last
year's stunning defeat.
A typically small St. Jee'8
team, the Bawks have been on
on·and·of( ballclub all season
long. Coach McKinney general·
Iy considers this a building year
for his sophomore·laden squad.
On a given night, though, the
Hawks can'beat anyone, as, evi·

weeks ago they traveled to
Boston and calmly trounced Bob
CoUSy'8 Eagles.
Team Wm
It was purely a team vi"Ctory
"as 'all five starters played mag­nificently
and all reached double
figures. Frank Magaletta was
high with 28 and 10 rebounds
while Jones copped 20.
Cirina had 12, while Crenshaw
totaled 11 with a game high of
16 rebounds. A psyched-up Art

his best game of the year and
got 10 points and 13 caroms,
The Stags shot 46 per cent
from the floor and crushed the
Frankies 56-30 und.~r the boards.

back by the Frankies gave them

Magaletta and Jones put Fair·

Bisaccamen were flawless on the
charity line to ice the win.
Early Lead
The Stags opened the scoring
on a Crenshaw jumper, moved
out to a 5-1 lead and strekhed
it to 28-22 with 6 minutes to go
in the half. Magaletta, fed w911
by Cirina, constantly isolated
himself in the corner and the
key for jumpers while Sol and
Kenney were devastating off the
boards. The Stags kept up the
pressure and led 43-36 at the
half.
