              Fairfield Ranks Third Among Catholic Schools
In an article appearing in the current issue of Fortune magazine, Fairfield Uni­versity
was rated third among Catholic colleges in America. The story, copied from
a survey by thirty elite business firms in th ~ metropolitan area, was reprinted under
the title, "Brain-Trusts in the U.S.. The B'~st and Why."

Reliable sources have revealed that the long-l".'mored merger
FaIrfield was cited as being
among the top educational in­stitutions
in lieu of its profes­8llonal
academic standards and
progressive admissions program.
The article stated, "In achieving
a C average at Fairfield, the
students are assured of total ex.

Mature Morality
With regard to the new pa­rietal
hours, Fr. William C. Mc­Innes,
S.J., admitted that, "In
considering this permission we
realize that the Fairfield stu­dent
is mature enough in Chris­tian
morality; we have taught
him to accept the responsibility
for his actions which this im­plies."
"I see no logical reason to
deny the students this respon­sibility,"
explained the Jesuit
President. "It's about time the
students started to demand in­novations."

Mr. Robert K. Griffin, Direc­tor
of Student Services, explain­ed
that the reason for the liber­alization
of rules regarding
liquor consumption was agreed
upon when campus officials con­sidered
the threat that "what
happened at Columbia could
easily become a reality at Fair­field,
if the students ever began
to think."
Student Apathy
"The feasibility of the end ·of
student apathy is a strong pos­sibility
at Faimeld," continued
Mr. Griffin, and if it ever be­comes
a reality, we want to be
ready." When asked to explain
this statement, Mr. Griffin said,
"No comment."
Parietal Hours
In an effort to solve the prob­lem
of the campus' limited so­cial
life, students will be per­mitted
"to entertain females in
their rooms." According to the
statement issued, ''This will fill
one of our outstanding campus
social needs."

With a policy statement that raised a few eyebrows in some University circles,
administrative officials announced that they "will comply to a certain extent" with
the recent student demands for chang~s in dormitory policy next year. The changes
pertain to areas of liquor consumption, parietal hours, and dress regulations.
Alcoholic beverages will be
permitted in Regis, Campion,

Editor-in-chief of the Stag,
Jay Doolan, felt that the .issue
involved is "one of vital con­cern

He added that edi·

made with any girls' school."
No Comment
Mr. Thomas Donohue, V\ce­President
of Fairfield Universi­ty,
offered no comment on the
authenticity of the revealed
hoax. He did, however, say that
"heads will roll very shortly."
He refused to elaborate further
saying that "this is a very seri­ous

the line," said Donohue, "and
hope to have them nailed down

Congratulations, Congratulations. • • • • • •
During the past semester, the STAG has viciously attacked many
well-meaning persons and organizations on campus. We, the Editorial
Board of the STAG, wishing to end the academic year on a happy
note, therefore offer congratulations to:
Fr. Coughlin on his expert handling of the. dress issue. Thanks
to his wonderful efforts, dress regulations will be liberalized starting
in September - as scheduled.
Dr. Vincent Murphy on his refusal to speak ill ... or good ...
or at all during the academic year.
Mr. Paul Barnes, Registrar, for getting all members of the aca­demic
community off on the right foot in September.
Mr. Thomas Maher on conducting all transactions iIi the Treas­urer's
office with such cheerful, personal efficiency.
Mr. George Moloney, Director of Maintenance, our friend in
heat, or cold, or cold, or cold ...
Richard Nixon on his sincere promise to American youth - you
end the war and I'll end the draft.
Fr. McInnes on the vast improvement in student-administration
communications during the past year.
Michael Bocchini for remaining totally aloof from petty politick­ing
and everything else concerning the Student Government.
Mr. Robert Griffin for his logical defense of administration policy
with regards to the freshmen rebate. We hope that the student body
has the foresight to use this same logic in the event of financial diffi­culties
that might make the payment of tuition "impossible."
Mr. Ronald Bianchi on re-phrasing his Homecoming Weekend
Regulations. Such wording certainly makes archaic campus conser­vatism
more palatable.
Mr. 'Thomas Donohue for being the right hand that never bothers
to ask the left what's going on. Further congratulations are due to
him for managing to remain blissfully ignorant of all decisions re­garding
co-education.
The Bocchini-appointed Mardi Gras committee for their excellent
foresight in arranging such socially stimulating events as the Mitch
Ryder Revue Concert.
The Dean's Office for prompt recording and distribution of se­mester
estimates and marks.
The Editorial Board of the STAG on their "Closed Case."
Coupled with their ability to come through with speedy and decisive
action, their editorials have given an impetus to the entire Student
Association.
Mr. Robert Perrotta. Elections Chairman, on the efficient opera­tion
of government elections.
Lyndon Johnson on his withdrawal from the Presidential race.
The Administration on their efficient handling of the proposed
Student Government Constitution.
General Hershey on his equitable treatment of all men of draft
age regardless of their political beliefs.
Mayor Daley on his intelligent solution to America's racial crisis
- kill. maim, and cripple in the name of law and order.
The previous Editorial Board of the STAG for managing to con­demn
the Youth Interracial Council and the peace fasters in the same
week - angry conservativism will always have a place at Fairfield.
Szabo Food Service on their last year of fine food service at Fair­field.
Au revoir, heartburn.
The Senior Class for their overwhelmingly generous and hand­some
class gift, Four years of total campus involvement is no sub­stitute
for last minute cynicism.
The Rugby Club for "having mOTe than one," and paying for it.
The Student Body for their undying interest in campus affairs.
The Campus Rent-a-Cop for making Fairfield a safe place to
live and grow. Also for their indirect help in redecorating various
campus offices.
Peter Madonia and William Leary for preventing forest fires,
and advancing the code of the American Temperance Society to the
utmost of their ability.

seen philosophy take a nose dive into secularism. I've tried to
understand, but I guess I'm caught in a tbeolog1f~"l snowstorm,
and I don't see clear weather ahead. I guess I don't sound too

Minor administrative clerk: My 'university, may it ever be

Sophomore: I think this place is just great! 1 mean it has
everything I want. Athletics, clubs, booze parties, and· a little
schooling on the side. If they changed this, it would be a real gross­out
to my morale. I need the a,ction this place has to offer, although
I guess some of the rules are kinda strict, like hatriil to rell4 a
book a week, and haffin' to pay money to see them Italian film,;
that aren't in American. J don't wanta complain though, cuz the
way I see it I have it great, and I only wish others could have
the same great time I'm havin'.
Freshman: I loved this place when 1 first came here, and I
hop·~ they don't change it because I paid for what I have now,
and I want my money's worth MY WAY! I think that this place
is going to be tough, and I heard it was as bad news as even Yale
school-wise. So I think I'll keep my trap shut and put up with the
high falutin' ways of these Phd profs I guess they gotta work ya,
and I hope I'm up to the brilliance they have and expect of me.
I sure do hope I don't get caught up with bad elements, although
I do like to play pool and cards. I hope they don't change too .much
cuz that would make the place like a zoo, ya know what I mean,
a real off the wall joint, with no standards.
STAG: I see. What is the difference between these two types
of space.
Fr. Mahan: Let me see if I understand your question. You
mean you want m~ to explain what the difference is between the
two of them and at the same time to show how they are not alike.
STAG: That's right, Father.
Fr. Mahan: Well, errr, available space is the Oak Room, as
I see it at the present time. If, however, it was occupied right
now at the present time with a lecture and so forth it would be
unavailable space. . ,
STAG: So then the Wizard's office is unavailable space at the
present time?
Fr. Mahan: I would think so. But I think we are getting con­fused
here in semantics and also in the proper use of terms. Why
don't we try to express our ideas in concrete forms, and by solidi­fying
our points, we might be able to arrive at a workable solution
for both parties involved. I would recommend that you would go
out on the campus and try to learn first ~and what space REALLY
is. Then we might be able to see your problem from the viewpoint

Fr. Mahan: Errr, Hi!
STAG: Father, what is the Space Committee?
Fr. Mahan: Well, errr, I really wOllld rather not comment on
that at this time. Needless to say, it is relevant. It involves space
on campus for faculty, student organizations and various other
offices. Yes, it does.
STAG: What kind of space does this specifically refer to?
F:-. Mahan: Well, on the one hand, there is available space;
on the other hand, there is unavailable space. We feel that this is
the most sensible solution to the problem. Of course, it takes much
work to really determine whether or not space is REAlLY avail­able
or unavailable.

BUILDING CAMPAIGN

for additions to the university
May IS. 1968
A major dispute has arisen
among the three segments of
the University over what action
to take in regards to the recent
artistic efforts of the "mad
painter."
In a special session of the
ad hoc discussion group, a seri­ous
division has arisen, especi­ally
between faculty and ad­ministrative
representatives. "Is
nothing sacred?" queried an ob­viously
shaken Fr. Coughlin
during a post-meeting interview
with THE STAG. In reference
to the IN BlOC FER PLENTI
inscription recently painted on
the Campus Center's west wall
he stated that "the University's
'financial dilemma is not, to me,
a source of great amusement."
In connection with his state­ment,
Fr. Coughlin announced
that there will be a reward of
"about $500" offered for infor­mation
leading to the apprehen­sion
of the culprit.
The faculty representatives,
however, frowned upon what
they termed "bureaucratic at­tempts
to stifle artistic expres­sion
among students." Mr. Palko
Lukacs stated that his only ob­jection
was that "I didn't think
of it first."
Ralph Kister refused to com­ment
on the course of the dis­cussion,
saying in his usual lib­erally
conservative manner, "I
don't have time to be bothered
by cub reporters right now."
Some observers, however, felt
that the black paint marks on
his wrists might make Mr. Kis­ter
a prime suspect in the up­coming
Investigation.
Mrs. Audrey Thomson, Direc·
tor of Very Special Events, was
repeatedly being treated for
shock after finding the -door to
her office painted in red and
white stripes. In a connected
press reI e as e Mr. Vincent
D'Alessandro of the Public Re­lations
Department labeled the
pranks as· "terror tactics, the
like of which Fairfield has never
known."

O'Connor To Exhibit Photos
Varsity Awards
Fairfield University photographer John G. O'Connor (seen
above in his portrait studio) will have a one·man show at the
Campus Center Oak Room Gaile..y, beginning Sunday, May 19,.
A special reception to meet the photographer will be held that
day from 4 to 6 p.m., and ail students are invited to attend.
The E;'xhibit will run through June 9.
A graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology and a resident
of Shelton, Mr. O'Connor is in his third year as University
photographer and during that time has specialized in available
light studies of capturing people on film as they're going about
their daily campus life. His in-depth studies of "people in con­text"
will be featured in his exhibit - "Focus on Fairfield."
Mr. O'Connor's recent work has taken him to Carnegie Hall
where he did an ;in-depth pictorial study of the University
Glee Club in a series of Young People's Concerts and to the
Appalachia region of Kentucky.
Tomorrow night in the Campus
Center Cafeteria, the annuel

of their five-year summer
to informal dress for the class­room
and at meals. No further
decision was made on the ques­tion
of the evening meal on
Sunday nights. The vote is to
be recommended to Fr. Cough­lin,
Academic Dean, and Mr.
Robert K. Griffin, who will put
the new regulations into effect
in their respective areas of
classroom and cafeteria. This
recommendation by the Board
has not yet been formally rec­ommended,
and no definite date
was set.
Mr. Griffin emphasized that
the dress change was "not for­ever,"
if it is abused by the stu­dents.
It is "mutually under­stood"
he said that the privilege
of self-determination in the
dress range is to be handled
properly. If it is not, the old
dress regulations will be restor­ed.
In reference to the students,
Mr. Griffin added "they felt that
they were mature enough, re­sponsible
enough" to dress like
gentlemen, as the occasion
seemed proper. The students
wanted an opportunity to dress
as was deemed "acceptable" to
the situation. By next fall they
will have this opportunity.
After the death of Martin Luther King and the ensuing domestic insurrections, many students
and faculty members have asked the question, "What is Fairfield University doing for the disadvant­aged
student?" In the recent Black Power ForUm, Mr. Fred Harris, President of the Hill Parents
Association, asked, "Why does Fairfield, a CathOlic college, have only thirteen black students?" II).
an attempt to answer these questions, Fr. William McInnes, S.J., President of the University, has
released a list of the programs which the UniverSity is engaged in to help the disadvantaged student.
Fairfield has a membership in

in the University this year.
All Negroes are receiving fin­ancial

is taught both at the grad­uate
and undergraduate levels.
As for the work of the Ad·

disadvantaged student, its polley

Specialized Management Inc., has been awarded
the food service contract for the coming year. The
awarding of the contract which is effective June 25,
1968, was the culmination of three months of work by a
committee composed of administration, faculty, and'
students.
In the words of Robert Maggi,
Grievance Committee Chairman,
Specialized Management was
awarded the contract because,
"it is a superior operation with
good quality food, cleanliness,
and most important of all,
'heads-up' management."
Unlimited Seconds
According to the terms of the
new contract, there will be un­limited
seconds at all meals. On
nights on which steak is offered,
for which there will be no sec­onds,
there will be another
choice for which unlimited sec­onds
will be available.
Specialized Management uses
no pre-cut meats, they employ
butchers to cut meat fresh every
day. In addition, all their canned
foods are grade A quality. They
will stage a special night at
least once a month as a' special
attraction to students.
Student Comments

What will Fairfield University be like next year?
What will the privileges of students be next year?
These are questions that the Student Handbook Co~­mittee
has been trying to answer. The results of theIr
work which will be presented to the administration for
appr~val soon, should be a revelation to manystudents.
Bob McCann, '68, committee
chairman, explained the changes
this way: "They should be in­novations
at the least." Their
first problem was to remove un­necessary
ftrbiage.
In the field of alcoholic bever­ages

where students would be asked
to conform to state laws con­cerning
the possession and use

Results recently released for the first nationwide primary held in the U.S.
showed Senator Eugene McCarthy decisively outscoring a large field of announced
and unannounced candidates1. ---------------------· Of the 1,072,830 votes cast by
students on over 1,200 campuses
in CHOICE 68, McCarthy was
the first choice of 285,988, fol­lowed
by Senator Robert Ken­nedy
with 213,832 votes and
Richard Nixon third with 197,­167
votes. Over 44% of the stu­dents
who voted will be eligible
to go to the polls this Novem­ber.
Total first place votes for oth­er
leading candidates were 115,­937
for Nelson Rockefeller, who
had not announced his candidacy
when the vote was held, and
57,362 for President Johnson
who had withdrawn his.
Vice President Humphrey,
who was not on the ballot, gar­nered
18,535 write-in votes, over
60% of all write-ins cast. No
other candidate received a !fig­tlificant
write-in vote.
McCarthy led in second
choices with 209,820 votes, fol­lowed
by Kennedy with 175,914,
Rockefeller with 170,319, and
Nixon with 118,960.
No other actual or potential
candidate made a significant
shOWing in first-place votes.
Among them, however, George
Wallace garnered 33,078 votes,
Ronald Reagan 28,215, and John
Lindsay 22,301. The Socialist
Warker candidate, Fred Hal­stead,
managed just under six
thousand votes while Harold
Stassen barely exceeded one
thousand.
McCarthy scored well in all
parts of the country but built
his lead particularly in the East,
where he led Kennedy by a
large margin. In the South,
Kennedy was the leading Demo­cratic
candidate, but Nixon out­polled
both Kennedy and Mc­Carthy
in the southern states.
Some 11,000 foreign students
also voted in the election, regis­tering
36% of their vote for Ken­hedy.
McCarthy was the for­eign
students' second choice with
,28%.
Among the 1,072,830 students
whose votes have been tabulated
thus far, over 90% of the indi­cated
total student vote, the
greatest number registered their
party preference as Democratic,
followed by Independent, then
Republican. Within Democratic
ranks party support was greater
for Kennedy than McCarthy, but
the Minnesota Senator showed
greater strength among Repub­licans
and Independents. Among
Republicans, Rockefeller drew
considerable support outside his
party.
In the election, which was
jointly sponsored by Sperry
Rand's Univac Division and
TIME magazine as a public
service, students were also ask­-
ed to indicate their preference
on military policy and bombing
In Vietnam and on priorities for
relieving the urban crisi~. About
45% of the students v6ted for
reduction of the nation's mili­tary
effort in Vietnam, 29% for
temporary suspension of all
bombing, and 21% for all-out
bombing.

imagined, and has paid no at­tention
to the subtle relation­ships
between reality and sanity
which could be of more rele­vance
to the world. The film is
crude, and does not match the
refined products of Bergman's
earlier work.
A film which is equally un­polished,
but meritorious be­cause
of its relevance, is Frank­lin
Schaffner's Planet 01 the
Apes. Its science fiction setting
is only the backdrop for a down
to earth ct~scussion of meta­physics.
Truth, justice, freedom
- all are treated in terms of
their contribution to social stab­ility.
The film is hardly perfect,.
for it has a good, number' of,
cliches and joke$· k~ec:t .t9chil­dren.
But its point mimportant,
and it makes it by the' :use ()f
stunning visual effects, especial­ly
the denouement. Despite
the advertisements for it, it is
worth seeing.
Seeing life from another point
of view is one of the contribu­tions
of Bill Perry, who e~ a

in his poem by that· title. His
"Kathy" is one of the motlt per­fectly-
formed poems in the col­lection;
the reader's mind keeps
time with the rhythm of the
,girl's typewriter, until that
rhythm is broken by the intru­sion
of a non-mechanical being.
There would be no point in
simply praising the poems in
Spittoon: their quality speaks
for itself. The poets have les­sons
to learn, but none of
them are pretending to a talent
which is non~existent. Of each
of them it is possible to say,
" .• his work is beauty."

rather than concretely as it ex­ists,
Bergman has attempted a
microcosmic study of the world
and has raised Borg from a man
to an Everyman. Not every man
is driven to madness and a hor­rible
death by the illusion that
evil is ubiquitous; Borg's story
should not have been told as an
allegory, for it is hardly a uni­versalone.
Stylistically, Bergman has
broken no new ground with this
work; in fact, its grotesque at­tention
to detail and obscurance
or meaning harken back to
Bunuel's Un Chien Andalou,
made in 1927. The extended
scene in which Borg beats the
boy to death and disposes of the
body, or the scene in which the
old lady drops her eyeballs into
a glass, are scenes bordering
on the sensational. Throughout
the film, Bergman has graphic­ally
depicted all of Borg's trau­mas,
which were already easily
ly good, for its insight into fear
and its effect upon the sensitive
person.
The paucity of overt social
criticism in the poems is sur­prising.
William Johnson's "The
War God" is the only reference
to the most talked about sub­ject
of the decade, though Col­lins'
"Brick Mountains" are
formed from the rubble of riots,
and his "Eden of Despair" may
be a prophetic reaction to all of
the actions of the last few years.
What is lacking in social com­ment
is made up for in the de­scriptions
of personal pleasures
- perhaps an attempt to ac­centuate
the positive. These per­sonal
experiences are largely
impressionistic, like John Csen­ger's
"Night Rain" or Johnson's
"Dream" or ''November, 1967."
Vincent Curcio's "Sensations"
borrows from the personal ex­periences
of another human be­ing,
and suffers liftle from 'the
added challenge of seeing life
from another point of view.
Speaks
The Gold Spittoon
By JOHN BOLAND
At this point, any film made by Ingmar Bergman is almost assured of at least
a modicum of acclaim - the director's n arne is magic. It seems that magic was
largely responsible for the critics' early p raise of his latest film, the Hour of the
Wolf. It could have been a great film, bu t its self-conscious attempt to be great has
led it to dramatic overstatement. .
Johann Borg, an artist (played
by Max Von Sydow) perceives
in reality an underlying evil
which pursue$ him constantly,
in the forms of a persistent
homesexual, a witchlike old lady
who removes her face when she
removes her hat, and, what is
worst to Borg, a man with the
head of a bird who stands be­fore
him and pecks at his face.
He reacts with violence - he
murders a small boy, and tries
to kill his own wife,· the reality
of whose love does not move
him. He finds his only hope in
the memory of a past lover, who
brought him not so much love
as passionate abandon. After he
im~gines that she has cheated
him, he goes completely ber­serk
and dies.
If Bergman had worked with
this one man as a possessed
man, the film could have been
a fine one. But by isolating
Borg and his wife on a barren
island, by presenting evil ab­stractly
behind surreal masks

attempt at casualness, the mag­azine
has been titled The Gold
Spittoon. The title is not approp­riate,
for the volume's contents
are not garbage. There is im­balance
in form, for every piece,
save one, is poetry - but ap­parently
poets are popular this
year.
Jay Donnarumma, who s e
works are the greatest in bulk,
probably captures both first and

The simple images of
"Puddle's Face" are perfectly

For one, the timing ot such sanctions could not have been
more ludicrous. There has been drinking at both home and away
rugby games ever Rince the club's formation. This year alone,
drinking has been at least witnE'ssed with favor by numerous
faculty membE'rR, and has been well-known to the Administration
for quite some time. A quiet warning made weeks ago would have
sufficed to curtail it. It is ironic to notE' in an identical vein that
several minutE'S after thE' incidE'nt, Fairfield parents, in a building
whosE' architecture is thirty-five years ahead of the times, dis­cussed
with their sons a subject thirty-five years behind the times.
The reason is obvious: a controversial panel discussion was neces­sary
in some form, and since most Fairfield parents are too
reactionary to know what marijuana is (much less discuss it ration­ally),
the choice had to be alcohol.
What is more, the inddent was handled with a maximum of
heavyhandednesR. The means USE'd to detect violators was the
notation on paper of friendly faces, after allowing drinking to
continue for some time with no reaction. The result was that, for
all the treachery used, only an unlucky minority received pun­ishment.
Students who refrained from touching beer at the exact
moment when being spied conld not be included on this list, while
m1il3lihts who had been home for the weekend were later among thE'
accused. The task of informing those suspended was by and large
placed in the lap of the Rugby Club President. After all this,
elemency was still desired from the Office of Student Services
on down. Sanctions were imposed only at the insistence of an
above personage who shall remain nameless due to the fact that
his identity should be patently obvious. One hint: He picked up
right where hE' left off with "The Bookstore Incident", when his
reaction was immediate expulsion, even, for matriculating seniors.
Connecticut state law has received a black eye as well. Several
of those suspended were 21~ virtually all were served originally
by parents who were present throughout, and whose total consent
is unquestionable, so this is no Darien scandal. It is apparent that
Fairfield's no-drinking rule is not nearly so much in conjunction
with Connecticut state law as has been propagandized. It is
obvious from such an overreaction as this that, under present
circumstances and· personnel, our .Administration is likely to remain
irreconcilable to so much as a neutrality-on-alcoholstand after
the Holy Cross-Boston College precedent.
And so, all the efforts involved in having alcohol served at the
Parents' Dance have proven transparent and basically futOe. Before

During the first semester
break, these members met with
Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity
brothers at St. John's Univer­sity
and on April 9 they were
pledged into the Fraternity
when they became a Delta
Sigma Phi colony at Fairfield
University. At the end of the
month seventeen will be initiat­ed
into the brotherhood by mem­bers
of the Saint John's Univer­sity
Chapter. By 1970, the bro­thers
plan to become an official
chapter of the international
Fraternity. Recently, on May 9,
a smoker was held at which ap­proximately
fifty interested
men signed up to pledge during
the summer. This will be the
first pledge class of the new
fraternity.
Towards the end of next year,
Delta Sigma Phi will present
an award to the organization
which they feel has contributed
the most to Fairfield University
during the year. Besides spon­soring
mixers, Delta Sigma Phi
also hopes to hold larger social
events, ie. Date Dance etc.).
A weekend affair is also under
discussion.
swer was that King was doing
what he thought best, but is was
not working. It was thought
that there was pro b a b I y
more accomplished by his death.
Another question was more in
the form of a statement. The
speaker remarked that it was
odd that now the Black would
shoot any white man, not be­cause
of the degree to which he
was a racist, but because he was
white. And this is the reverse
of the past situation in which
white would shoot any Negroes
just because they were black.
Smaller groups were then
formed for more comments and
discussion. These groups began
tossing around ideas of what
the problem really is, what the
solutions might be and what the
picture will be. Discussions ran
in seeming disarray. After an
hour one woman commented
that we should all be doing
what we're most capable. The
few blacks in the group went
even further in suggesting that
whites should educate them_
selves, that they should work in
their own communities. The
whites can give money but let
the blacks put it to work.
And one other question was
asked: "What if a war broke out
in Harlem and the Blacks were
taking over where ·would you
go'? Home'? Harlem'?" the an­swers
were many. - Some
would let the army take care of
it. Some would fight with the
Blacks, though wondered whe­ther
they'd be shot before they
could . say they were allies.
Others would lend no ald at aIL
The day ended without a
final meeting and so little can
be said for conclusion except
the summer draws closer.
Recently, the newly organized
Delta Sigma Phi fraternity pre­sented
the Spontaneous Genera­tion
in an evening of live folk
entertainment. The Spontaneous
Generation adds a unique sound
to the world of folk music and
is presently being interviewed
by a national recording com­panJ
All of the proceeds of the
concert were donated by Delta
Sigma Phi to the Youth inter­racial
Council. The Spontaneous
Generation concert was the first
of a series of programs to be
presented by the new fraterniey.
Starting in January with

Holyoke Conference
Discusses Raci sm
By DAVID R. BURROUGHS
Once again college students
have gathered together to face
the question of racism and
Black Power. This time the set­ting
was Mt. Holyoke College.
But other than this new loca­tion,
the conference was not un­like
past conferences.
Poor Turnout
The group numbered about 50
people, less than a quarter be­ing
Negro. The representation
from other schools was small
and, in fact non-existent. There
was no accounting for the poor
turnout.
First on the schedule was an
NBC film on "Detroit: Summer
67." Scenes of the rioting and
looting and fire bombing were
tied together by commentaries
as to why it happened there.
According to the producers of
the film Detroit should have
escaped this violence but it did
not. The movie concluded with
an interview with a man, his
face being hidden from the view­er,
who said he knew that this
summer, violence was going to
be organized. He said that there
were little "schools" operating
right now. NBC believed him.
YlC Panel Forum
From the movie, the students
moved to Mt. Holyoke's am­phitheater
to hear Fairfield YIC
Panel-Forum give their own re­flections
on black-white prob­lem.
Generally the speakers
agreed that everyone's a racist,
with the wbites having a virtual
monopoly on it. It makes little
difference whether one is an
overt or a covert racist. Both
have been criminal in the eyes
. of the blacks.
A short question and answer
period allowed for a comment
about Martin Luther King's ef­fectiveness.
The consensus an-
THE STAG
Symbolic Event
The Vietnam Commencement
will be a symbolic event of na­tional
as well as regional and
personal importance. All across
the nation young Americans are
desperate as they struggle to
choose between an uneasy con­science
and the law of the land.
More and more of them realize
that they could not fight in
Vietnam. The Selective Service
System expects to induct at
least 300,000 men this coming
year, and the majority of them
will be today's college students.
The "ietnam ()ommencement
points to a growing will to resist
being drafted. It is the bellwea­ther
of a new national mood
among many of the young and
it forecasts a substantial in_
crease in the number of draft
resisters. This increase should
begin to be felt in June. Re­sponse
to the Wesleyan Vietnam
Comencement indicates t hat
soon a refusal to be drafted
will no longer be an isolated
phenomenon. There is a likeli­hood
that this development will
be a dramatic part of an al­ready

Pledge Statement
A pledge for those not eligible
for the draft will also be hon­ored.
It reads, "Although I am
not subject to the draft, my op_
position to our government's
policy in Vietnam compels me to
support tho s e draft-eligible
Americans who have pledged to
refuse induction. I believe that
their decisions are legitimate
acts of conscience opposing an
unjust and immoral war. I
pledge to support those young
men with encouragement, coun­sel
and financial aid." Signing
such a pledge may be illegal. It
is technically the same "crime"
as that for which the Rev. Cof­fin,
Dr. Spack, et al are about
to stand trial. The presence of
Rev. ()offin is most timely be-

A number of other universi­ties

Mr. Paul Davis of the History
Department, who has been
working on this proposal for
two years with other members
of the faculty, suggested that
provisions might be made for
the discussion of curriculum.
However, he voiced a conserva­tive
note at the proposal for
more student power: "The modi­fications
provide disproportion­ately
for the student voice. Fur­thermore,
we never considered
the posibility of decision making
power - we don't want it
either. The faculty assumed that
what we have in mind was a
body to make recommendations,
not settlements."
He expressed a faith in the
openmindedness of the adminis­tration
as he continued: "The
decision should come from the
corporation. They will be fair.
It would be foolish not to con­sider
any campus voice. They
must consider all, but must

Mr. Trevisan, besides having

Both juniors feel that they will

assistance they have received
from Senior Paul Greeley, edi­tor
of the '68 Manor.

The recently held referendum
for raising the activities fee was
marred by a poor turnout at
the polls. Only 586 votes were
cast, 35.3% of the student body.
There were 506 votes in favor
of adding the fee to the tuition
bill next semester, 86.4% of the
vote cast and 80 votes opposed
to the addition, 13.6% of the
vote.
As for the ranges in the
amount to be charged, 320 voted
for a charge of $10-$20, 54.5%
of the vote. There were 153
votes for $2Q..$35 level, 26.2% of

Dear Editor:
Recently I was faced with a slight
financial crisis; my roommate and I
were informed that we owed a consider­able
sum of mony to the Southern New
England Telephone Company, and unfor­tunately,
we were caught without funds
Wondering what to do about the situation,
we were impressed by the technique used
by Mr. Robert Griffin in his handling of
the freshman rebate issue, and we de­cided
to handle our problem similarly.
We thereupon wrote to the telephone com­pany
informing them that it was impos­sible
for us to pay what we owed at
the present time. We explained that al­though
we realized that SNET would be,
and had already been inconvenienced by
our· unpaid bill, that to pay would place
us in a position of financial hardship
and difficulty. Besides, we continued, we
had been inconvenienced by the Commun­cations
Workers' strike, which had made
it impossible for us to make our long­distance
calls "collect" due to a lack of
operators, and therefore we were sure
that the company would realize that we
were not responsible. since we had been
caught up in a sifuation which was be­yond
our control .For this reason, we
concluded, it seemed emminently fair
that they should endure some inconven­ience
(re. use of their facilities, paper­work
il1Volved in trying to collect our
bill, etc.) while we absolved ourself of
our debt. We even supported our position
by demonstrating on paper that the com­pany
was still able to function despite
our failure to satisfy their rightful claims.
To our amazement, instead of a
courteous reply agreeing with our posit­ion,
the phone company answered our
letter with a curt announcement that if
we didn't pay our bill, our phone service
would be cancelled and legal action taken
against us.
This leads me to wonder whether there
is, after all, any relevance to the real
world in the policies which the admin­istration
of this Christian University
teaches, through its example, to its
students. Or, might we rephrase the ques­tion
to ask in how many situations could
we. the students, get away with practic­ing
what they, the administration,
preach?
Confusedly,

Appreciation
To the Editor:
I am writing to you in the hope that
you will communicate my appreciation
to the students on your campus for their
CHOICE 68 votes. .
Not only because my candidacy was
favored in the balloting am I grateful.
More significant than the success or the
losses of individual candidates in
CHOICE 68 is the participation by one
million students on some 1,200 campuses
in the political process. Student opinions,
debated and expressed democratically,
will influence elections throughout our
nation.
CHOICE 68 opinions on military ac­tion,
bombing and the urban situation
have been forwarded to me. I note that
55.4 per cent of my student supporters
favor a reduction of military action in
Vietnam and 29.1 perct!nt are for with­drawal.
Among students fur me, 51.2
percent would stop the bombing and 28.4
percent prefer temporary suspension. I
can assure you I shall keep these views
in mind as I try to develop intelligent
response to changing international rela­tions.
The emphasis of students for Mc­Carthy
on education and job training in
our urban reconciliation efforts is reas­suring
to me in a very personal way.
Let us remain together, and I am con­'
fident that our common cause can change
the direction of our country.
With best wishes.
Sincerely yours,
Eugene J. McCarthy

About the Draft
Letter to the Editor:
In recent weeks I have noticed that
there is among seniors a healthy crisis
of decisions. What to do about the draft?
Who and what issues to vote for? What
career to pursue? And some fortunate
enough to worry about a decision con­cerning
marriage. With these decisions
comes a refreshing air of moral con­sciousness
and anxiet7.
One issue at Fairfield University which
is becoming increasingly prominent is the
t:oncept of a senior gift. To my know·
ledge this program is not receiving much
favorable response-in short-not many are
giving. What is the reason? One apparent
response on and off campus is that a
refusal to pledge is a form of protest
against past actions and decisions of
those in the administration. I agree
whole-heartedly with protest and perhaps
it should be carried to further lengths
than it has been in recent years.
But as to the association between the
senior gift and protest concerning admin­istration
policy, I feel that a restoration
of direction is necessary. To protest in
the form of a refusal to leave a gift that
would benefit not those in the administra­tion
but rather future students appears
to me as a rationalization of one's
motives. There is obviously a misplace­ment
of emotion which is coloring the
real goal of a senior gift. I sense that
a re-examination of motives-is imperative
and that a conscious (not sub-conscious)
decision must be made.
Respectfully,

When asked for his reflections

that he always knew he was

brough him to such a "para­mount

In attempting to replay this past athletic year in
one last column, so many questions arise that simply
phrasing them all, disregarding any answers, is a task
in itself. After the extraneous problems and events have
been haggled over; the summerization of doubts and
inquiries can be made with the question, "Where do we
go from here."
Fairfield has traveled about as far as a private,
Jesuit college can these days, to face anyone who
wanted. to play basketball. The Stags broadened their
bas~ban tour, adding to their schedule of high-ranking
northern teams the very best teams from Florida. Even
on a clu.b level, which really has nothing to do with the
Athletic Department unless you consider grief as con­stituting
a relationship, Fairfield has extended itself in
the same manner with a rugby trip to Bermuda and an
all-inclusive footba1l season. Ceiling level has be'en
reached in scheduling, but certainly there has not been
an equal return in benefits for the University. Perhaps
this is a question of time, and perhaps it is not.
It is fwlish to pretend that a huge p.O'rtion of the
total athletkeff'ort is not being channeled into the bas­ketball
system. This is not a criticism, yet. The benefits
of a Big ,Time basketball program were considered in
depth in this column earlier in the year. There is,
though, 'a boundary in which Fairfield must stay to be
completely fair to the ~students. Big Time sports has a
tendency to he a self-devouring beast that demands
more effort and more money for each succeeding vic­tory.
Just last week Sports Illustrated reported the fact
that Big Ten schools as well as many other institutions
which are noted athletic plants are running into finan­cial
difficulty in the spiraling cost of supporting their
teams.
The'b:oundary has been reached here. Other teams,
intramurals, and student interest in varsity sports have
all contributed enough deprivation to the cause of a
very good basketball team. So where do we go from
here? Wherever Fairfield goes it must be with the re­sources
it has already and 1vith those that Coach James
Lynam can add from his sphere of influence.
The goal of course is the N.LT. We all know it and
no matter how successful the team is, if the Stags don't
end up under the hanging roof of Madison Square
Garden at the season's close, most people will be un­happy
and unsatisfied.
There are alternatives. We can reduce the em­phasison
basketball without sacrificing a very great
amount of competition that will always remain in play­ing
teams in the northern area. At the same time bas­ketballcould
be brought back to the campus where it
would once again contribute to the generation of en­thusiasm
amo·ng students.
There are many things to do with the overlay of
resources from such a change in policy. An improved
infield and spectator facilities for baseball, more tennis
courts and a tarp to cut down on the wind which turns
many matches into a contest in aerodynamics, a track
team, a weight room, a general improvement in student
interests that would integrate the image of athletics,
including the club sports, with the philosophy of a lib­eral
arts college, all would be beneficial to improving
the future of the athletic program.
I am not advocating scrapping a fine and valuable
basketball setup. But in plotting the path the athletic
department will follow, all the angles' must be con­sidered.
Some schools do nnt even have varsity sports
(thE' l Tniversity of Chicago for example) and they are
certainl.y not suffering any adverse effects from that
decision.
This past school year brought a hatful of laudable
accomplishments and it brought Fairfield a step closer
to stabilizing and consolidating its athletic interests and
goals. In actuality the answer to where Fairfield will go
with its athletic program is to be answered by the stu­dent
and he will answer that question by the noise he
makes in the stands as well as by the support he gives
any individual sport.
Without the students' assents and denials, the Ath­letic
Department will make a unilateral decision about
how far to push a good thing, namely basketb.all, and
about how little is necessarY to keep the other varsity
and club sports from dying once and for all.
There have been several watchwords in Fairfield
sports for the past few yeaTs, from "growth" to "N.LT.
bound" to "expansion." Next September will begin the

Trinity, one of the stronger col·

defeating Norwich by 'a large

fierce opposition in the Fairfield
team, but was able 10 deal
F'airfield a 16-11 loss. This last
defeat, coupled with the strong

plagued by the injury of Jim
Regan '69, but managed to look
impressive despite this loss. The
team consisted of Mark Del­Mauro

this team which scored a com­plete
9-0 record in the Wor­cester

One of the most pl;!rplexing
dilemmas concerning this year's
baseball team his been the mys­terious
ineffectiveness 9f s~or

Ask anyone on the team about

mound staff and the amount of
work each has been forced to
shoulder strains credUlity. At
one point, Mahoney worked .in
five str~ht .games, at another
time, twelve out of thirteen.
Despite the fact that this has
probably hurt his performance,
Mahoney states that since he is
the only senior and has the most
eJ!;perience "it is only natural
that 1 Mould be ready to pitch
at all times." This statement is
typical of Frank. The quiet,
softspoken type, he exudes con·
fidence and unselfishness.
'Mahoney has won 14 games
in his career at Fairfield, easUy
an aU"tbne record. Be was 8.0
in the :faU and won 5 in a row
last spring before finiShing up
at 6-2. Be included 'among his
performances a sh~tout over St.

some of his "long jags" have
become tabled.
Frank 1.q)praises his pitching
repetoire as "a curve, slider :and
'Hail Marys.' " Not the over·
powering type, he is best at
making the batters hit the ball
on the ground and states "I
never would have been success·
ful without the type of infield
I've had at Fairfield" He has
the highest praise for the pro­gress
the Stags have made,
saying that 'I never dreamed it
would be as good as it is."
Mahoney went to Chaminade
High In Long Island, where he
lettered in football and baseball.
He played for the, semi-pro
