New Educational Advances
By DAVID BURROUGHS
The appearance of thirteen new students on campus this p~st w~ekend mark­ed
a new era in the educational development of Fairfield Umvers1ty. Mr. Ron
Mitchell and Mr. Mike Maloney acting as unofficial chairmen, oriented the incom­ing
students of the recently instituted Five Year Program.
a beautiful thing. If it con­tinues
and directs itself to­wards
the University it will help
other institutions follow in its
footsteps."
Co-chairmen of the Orientation Committee for the Five Year
Curriculum are from left to right, Ron Mitchell, Howard
Rolle, Dimitri Adonis, and Mike Maloney.
Initially there were forty-five
applicants for admission to a
possible fifteen openings in the
undergraduate college. Word
of Fairfield's program came
through various organizations
such as ABCD and Harlem
Prep, involved with social ser­vices
and personal references,
which recommended any num­ber
of men based primarily on
the desire to continue one's
education. Standardized tests
and personal interviews given
to the men were used to deter­mine
admission.

it is hoped that there will be
more social interaction but ac­cording
to Mr. Maloney, "There
will probably be a few close re­lationships
outside the race,
but most likely they'll social­ize
with their own, just like
any particular group."
Both men were skeptical
about the educational system
and, in fact, the whole picture
of organization-bureaucracy as
well. They realize that the op- .
portunity to advance into the
mainstream is through educa­tion.
"This program is part of
an experiment to see if the

"The University has taken a
unique risk in finally accepting
these new students," Mr.
·Mitchell explained. "The usual
procedure in such programs is
to have the students go thr ough
a more rigid schedule of study
and to perform well, thus cut­ting
down the possibilities of
failure after acceptance."
Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Mal­oney
both stressed the opinion
that this is a major step into
the Twentieth Century for the
university community. "It is
hoped that these students will
make Fairfield University more
heterogeneous. T h e i r urban
backgrounds could provide a
vital addition to the university
life."

the candidates, and
has come up with these in­sights
into their backgrounds,
ideas, and platforms:
Charles Coviello is running
because ·he feels that "there

changed." He has been in the
Legislature for three years,
having served this past session
as its Majority Leader. He is
also Junior Class Secretary.
As president, Mr. Coviello
would attempt "a coalition of
conservatives, liberals and radi­cals.
I am trying to appeal to
all three segments, thus pre­senting
a united front to the
Administration." He stresses

society owes to its members,"
said Mr. Mitchell.
Skepticism rose a bit more
when the final comments
settled on whether or not the
program will continue on with
the acceptance of another fif­teen
students in September.
Neither men were sure of the
University's position, as the
University itself is unsure
about what it can do in the
future.

said Mr. Maloney. "If this iS

and RIC BAKER
Our intention in writing this
article is to relate the express­ed
opinion of the Rev. James
. H. Coughlin, S.J ., Academic
Dean, concerning the present
·curriculum controversy.
Stag: As an educator, do you
approve of the present Theolo­gy
and Philosophy require-ments,
and what are your rea­sons?
Dean: Yes, Fairfield Univer­sity,
as a Liberal Art5 univer­sity,
is committed to pr oviding
its students with a general ed­ucation
"package." It is my
feeling that such a "package"
must direct itself towards Phil­osophy,
Theology, Sciences,
Languages, includfug English,
and the Social Sciences, if it
is to - successfully provide the
student with an exposure to
most areas of cultural enrich­ment,
and so far as possible to
some breadth and depth of
broad areas of knowledge,
truth, and wisdom.
It is important to include a
study of a very significant sub­ject:
the existepce of God and
Primary Candidates Give .Views
the need for student unity
through effective government
"to prove to the Administra­tion
and student body that the
Student Government means
something."
Asked just how he would
try to bring about changes at
Fairfield, he outlined this meth­od,
"The coalition executive
council proposes a change to
the Administration; if rejected,
it would go back to ·the execu­tive
council to decide what has
to be done. I would propose
· having the Bridgeport papers
report just the things we want
changed. The Administration is
afraid of publicity . . . I be­lieve
that Fr. Mcinnes actually
told the Bridgeport Post that
he thought he had good com­munication
with the students
. . . If we can get a lot of
people behind us, not just stu­dents,
we'd definitely get things
done."
The candidate pointed out
that during the summer, as a
Bridgeport resident, he would
visit the campus "at least once
a week to iron out the prob­lems
we have here."
Summing up, Mr. Coviello
singled out specific areas where
he · thinks changes are needed,
"The Student Government has
to give the students something
more for their activities fee; .
security on the campus must
be improved to prevent the
vandalizing of student proper­ty;
and finally, academic re­forms
must be brought about."
As a freshman, Ted Kaloun
attempted to start a wrestling
club at Fairfield, as a sopho­more
a lacrosse team. In each
instance, he told The Stag last
Friday, his effor_ts were frus­trated
by Student Government
inefficiency. Now, as president
of the junior class, and chair­man
of the Dogw<>Qd Com­mittee,
he says: "I've had six
experiences with the Student
Government, all negative."
"I am running' because the
present Student Government
has missed the point .. They act
philosophically in favor of
trivia, on how you should vote,
etcetera, rather than relating
to the students outside well
being, which is what affects
him in most cases."
Mr. Kaloun said that he was
trying to appeal "to every stu­dent
who wants to fulfill him­self
outside of the academic
. world." He complained that the
Student Government had failed
in this area: "The clubs have
not been appropriated a dime,
yet I can't see anything else
on this campus that the stu- _
dents are interested in, and
the clubs shouldn't have to be
scruffling around to make their
quota."
He wants to be president
because "as a student, I am not
in the mood to depend on the
whims of the few who rule the
many - and I am referring to
the Administration as well as
(Continued on Page 8)
man's relationship to him. The
consequences of that learning
process is of course affective
of the religious orientations of
most students.
Also, the general education
must include an adequate num­ber
of courses to acquaint the
student with the scientific and
mathematical mentality of his
culture, and language courses
which are instrumental in dis­solving
communication barriers.
These are all basic concepts
of reality which are most ap­propriate
to intellectual pur­suits.
It is important to note that
no area of the curriculum has
undergone more change in the
past ten years than the areas
of theology and philosophy.
Stag: What value do you
place on student opinion con­cerning
the curriculum?
Dean: I find the students'
opini.on emminently worthwhile
concerning a course he has al­ready
taken. However, I be·
lieve him to be less capable of
passing judgement upon , those
courses which he has not yet
taken, or on a general educa­tional
philosophy.
Stag: What are the results
of your communication with
student organizations such as
the Academic Forum concern­ing
this matter? ·
Dean: The Academic Forum
has been practically non-exist­ent
for the past two years.
However, this is a voluntary
project for students interested
in academic problems and it is
most understandable that not
many students will become in­volved
in the tedious, time­consuming
process which basic
changes in the curriculum en­tail.
In the past, the "activist"
students have inevitably felt
that their proposals which deal
with specific change will find
immediate action.

WOODROW WILSON
NOMINEES
Fairfield's three Woodrow
Wilson Nominees, Michael Jan­son
John McCann and Gerald
Sabo, all received honorable
mention in the national competi­tion.
Dr. McDonald stated: "I am
very happy that all three of our
nominees received this recogni­tion
of their scholastic ability.
At a time when the national
foundations are restricting the
number of their awards and the
competition has become much
keener, to have three honorable
mentionees is somewhat .of a
feat."
"The names of the students so
honored have already been sent

FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY
Fairfield, Connecticut
Dear Father Mahan:
I am writing to you on behalf of the lovely children living in
the Co Nhi Vien Orphanage located in the Go Vap district of
Saigon, South Vietnam. This orphanage is being managed by the
nuns associated with the Order of the Lovers of the Cross, a
French order consisting mostly of Vietnamese Sisters.
Currently, there are approximately 300 infant babies and 500
children between the ages of one and fourteen in the Co Nhi Vien
Orphanage. The good Sisters at Go Vap are desperately in- need
of help in order to properly care for these children. Our support
consists mainly of providing clothing and entertainment for the
children as well as assisting the Sisters in their more burdensome
housekeeping chores. There is a serious shortage of light summer
clothing and soap for the children and we are urgently corrcerned
about baby food, diapers, and disinfectant for the babies, where
the fatality rate is especially high.
I am writing to you to inquire about the possibility of a group
or organization at Fairfield which might be interested in helping
this effort in any way whatsoever.
I am continually overwhelmed by the constant news reports
I receive here in Saigon concerning dissent to our involvement · in
Vietnam. I refer sp~cifically to the recent Inauguration in Wash­ington
at which student demonstrators shouted advocations of
"Victory for the Viet Cong." I am certain that most students at
Fairfield would p:-efer to assume a more positive approach to a
solution for our problem in Southeast Asia.
I would be very grateful if you, Father Mahan, would re­member
the chiLdren during your prayers and put in a few kind
words for them with the good Lord.
I shall be traveling to Paris at the end of February and an­ticipate
a few days of vacation in Connecticut sometime in March
before I return to Saigon. If so, I hope to be able to visit Fairfield '
and look forward to stopping by your office to say "hello."
Sincerely,

Parents' Weekend
Set for April 26-27
By JOHN BRENNAN
"The purpose of Parents' Weekend is to give the parents a
chance to see the school and to create a social atmosphere CDl'l­ducive
to parent-son communication," states Bob Murphy, chair­man
of the Parents' Weekend Committee. Parents' Weekend April
26-27 is run by the Sophomore Class through the committe chosen
by class pres 'dent Thomas Gugliotti. Other appointments to the
committee are Chuck Dombeck, Tim Geoghegan, Richard Doolan,
John Esposito, Bob Christine, Ken Barletta, and Donald Schmidt.
The afternoon will begin with a Texas style barbecue on the
patio of the Campus Center followed by the dedication of the
rugby field. The name has been donated by Mrs. Grauert in
memory of her son, Hans who died in action in Vietnam. The
Rugby Club will then take on the ruggers from the University of
Pennsylvania. Following the contest there will be a father-son
softball game.
Spiritual Highlight
The Spiritual highlight of the weekend will be an ecclesiastical
confession conducted by Father Bertrund, S.J., master of novices
at Shadowbrook. An ecclesiastical confession is an open general
confession where one confesses his sins personally and then re·
ceives a general absolution. It is a penital service where hymns
will be sung and scriptual readings will be given.
Social Highlight
The social highlight of the weekend will be a parent-faculty
cocktail party in order "to acquaint the parents with the faculty"
which will be followed by a dinner dance. Students are allowed
to escort a date but there will be an additional six dollar charge.
Sunday there will be a mass on the Campus Center patio
followed by a communion breakfast and an activity yet to be an­nounced.
The usual open house will be in' the afternoon.
The entire cost of the weekend is thirty-five dollars per fam· .
ily. This is a five dollar rise in cost over last year and it is due to
the added cost of the food service and the cost of inviting "the
faculty and their wives to be our guests at the cocktail party and
dinner dance," noted Mr. Murphy.

News Analysis
State of the Constitution ~
By THOM PERROTTI
This analysis does not offer any revealing statement on the status of the con­stitution
but merely brings its history up to date, as it is the hope of Student Gov­ernment
officials that it will be enacted into law by April.
The .need for a new eonstitu-tion
was realized under the
Bocchini Administration in the
spring of 1967. The reas~n for
a new constitution was to pro­vide
a more general and, there­fore,
less restrictive statement
of purpose, than the present
one. Whereas the nature of a
constitution is to construct an
atmosphere within which ideas
can be made law or voted down,
it must not dictate specific
points of law to the extent that
it becomes inflexible.
Two Parts
This is the nature of the pres­ent
constitution which is divided
into two parts: the constitution
itself and the by-laws. The by­laws,
which are compilation of
set laws, put strong restrictions
on the breadth of the constitu-dent
Bill of Rights - worked
until February of 1968. On the
eve of Howe's e'lection, a final
draft of the constitution was
ready. However, this was the
final word of a new constitution
until the fall of 1968.
Investigation Committee
Don Malone, class of 1970 rep·
resentative, then proposed a bill
for a constitutional investiga­tion
committee. There was dis­s:
Jnt on the bill, but it finally
passed by a narrow margin, and
the committee was given SO days
to investigate. Ultimately, Mr.
Howe vetoed the bill for the
reason that there was already

that the whole constitution
should be ready to go before

Bill of Rights
Concerning the Bill of Rights
which met with controversial
opposition from Mr. Griffin, Di­rector
of Student Services, Mr.
Howe emphasizes that his (Mr.
Griffin's) were merely sugges­tions
and that the sensation
aroused· was not well founded.
On the other hand, he stated
that the Bill of Rights was in­valid
in that it represented only
student opinion. "The govern­ment
cannot guarantee rights
to students, rather they should
come about through agreement
of the three branches of the
Univers ity." In light of these
remarks he stated that there
should be a University Bill of
Rights founded in the newly­created
University Council.
This council has been set up
to discuss all aspects of the uni­versity
life. Its power, however,
is merely to suggest - the ul­timate
decisic,ll belongs to the
Administration.
Final Status
Fairfield Band Organizes Program
What then, is the status of
student power on campus? And
to what degree is the new con­stitution
and the Student Gov­ernment
a part of it? Innate in
the origin of the new constitu­tion
was a desire for more QOW­er
in st,..dent affairs. Ho\\ can
one condone the seeming dis­concern
over the constitution for
a period of eight months to the
point that no one knew where
it was? And how does one ex­plain
the fact that the person
who drew up the original draft
of the constitution, Mr. Howe,
now proposes a University Bill
of Rights, which in essence
takes all power away from the
Student Government, of which
he is President, and places it
right back in the , hands of the
Administration. In other words,
does anyone care w!lere the new
constitution is?
By JOHN ROBERTO
Fairfield's first Band has re­cently
been organized under the
leadership of Greg Driscoll and
Gerry Tuite. The Band's pur­pose
in the words of Gerry
Tuite is "to offer anyone at
Fairfield with an instrument a
chance to use his talents."
One need not only play an
instrument; there are many ad·
ministrative posts available in
the Band. Anyone who feels he
does have talent or just wants
to help the Band along is more
than welcome to come to one
of its regular meetings.
Officers
Filling the administrative
posts in the Band are Gerry
Tuite - President, Gabe Riccio

The Band is divided into two
groups: the regular stage band
and the Dixieland Band. The
Dixieland Band is composed of
five musicians of exceptional
talent who play at the New
Haven Arena for Fairfield's
home basketball games. The
members of the Dixieland group
a.re Greg Driscoll,_ Mark ·Con·
nolly, Frank Fortney, Gabe
Riccio, and Frank Fammano.
The Stage Band is the newer
of the two groups by two
months. They had one practice
before exams and are beginning
to hold regular practices every
Wednesday night. Initially the
officers felt there would not be
enough musicians to fill the vac­ancies
in the Stage Band, but
with an increased 'turnout they
were just about able to fill most
of the positions. There is stlll a
desperate need for more musi­cians.
Financial Problems
The band has met up with
financial problems in its early
days. Money is needed for music
to build up their repertoire of
songs. As soon as the Student
Government passes the new con­stitution,
money will be on the
way to help the Band. Another
source of income may be a mix·
er; but this is still in the plan·
ning stages.
Every new organization looks
for experience and wisdom in
its early days. So too the Band
lo<?ked for help and for some
experienced people to aid them.
Mr. A:Qdrew Heath of the Music
Department gave his support to
the Band by accepting the role
of its moderator. Mr. Charles
Williams, an outstanding musi·
cian from Norwalk, Conn., has
played a big role in the forma­tive
stages of the Band. Mr.
Williams organized his firnt
stage band at the age of 12; he
is now 22 and ~ credit to his
profession. Mr. Robert K. Grif·
fin: Dean of Student Services,
has ,also given his support to
the new band.
The officers of the Band have
outlined some detailed plans for
the future. They realize they
need to work on . their instru­ments
and they must work to­gether
to sound like a coherent
band, but in order to start on the
road of success they are plan­ning
to sponsor a concert during
Parents' Weekend. They have
been asked to play at gradua­tion
by Father Coughlin; and
are also preparing to play for
any formal dances that are spon­sored,
as well for Freshman
Orientation next year.
The Band has set down its
plans for the future. It needs
the support of the students to
become a success. For the pres­ent
it seems the band has start­ed
on its way.
'71 Class Rings
By COLIN KILEY
The sophomore class has announced a new innovation regarding
class rings. The class of '71, who would ordinarily order, their
rings in the junior year, are being g\ven the opportunity to order
them in early April.
Robert Murphy and Timothy Geoghegan who effected the
change in policy said "this was done to enable students to have
the opportunity to have their rings for the summer." Mr. Murphy
explained the procedure as f.ollows: The Representative will be
here April 1 and 2 to take orders and measurements. At this time
a ten dollar deposit will be necessar~ for deposit. If ordered at this
time the rings will be in before final exams. The ring company
also will be here next September 1 to take any other orders. An
order placed at this time will be ready before_Homecoming.
Minor Change
Mr. Murphy also pointed out that basically everything is the
same as has been in the- past. The prices and styles vary. There
has been one minor change though and that was in relation to the
masthead. The masthead has been changed "to make the stag look
more like a stag."

By BRUCE SCHAUBLE
A short look at the credits
on the back of "Child is the
Father to Man" is sufficient to
explain what went wrong with
the original Blood, Sweat, and
Tears. Eight men in the group:
Twelve songs. Seven songs
written by Al Kooper. Nine
sung by AI Kooper. Eight ar­rangements
by AI Kooper. It's
as simple as that. Kooper domi­nated
the group to the extent
tha t, except for an occasional
splash from Steve Katz, the
rest of Blood, Sweat and Tears
may as well have dried up and
blown away. Which had to irk
musicians as good as :Fred'
Lipsius, Dick Halligan, et. al
. . . If the conflict was inevit­able,
however, the breaki!P was
still, from a musical point of
view, tragic. CI'i'FTM was far
and awa.y the best album of
its type to come out in '68, and
one might have hoped for
more of the same. Now Kooper
and B, S, & T have gone their
separate ways, and a 1 a s,
neither of the two separate
groups can measure up to
CITFTM.

guardian for both the charac­ters

realization that is painful but
necessary. Ted Thurston is

The two young lovers are at­tractive
and loveable, but Mich­ael

cal power that could have
brought him up to the level of

Revisited
Bob Dylan, Al Kooper has
been the one figure to display
drive (read ego) sufficient to
dominate the rock scene in
that combination of talent and
_anything like the way Dylan
can. If Kooper suffers in com­parison
with Dylan in the
former category, he makes up
for it in the lat ter . Kooper has
come a long way. He was first
noticed as the organist for Dy­lan's
rock ' albums, has done
various other backup and guest
spots, recorded CITFTM, then
Supersession with Mike Bloom­field
and Steve Stills, has a new
double album with Bloomfield,
and n«._w has "I Stand Alone."
The basic trouble with "I
Stand Alone" is th_at he does
not. The album is actually less
"essential Kooper" than CITF
TM. On this album there ' are
five songs Kooper didn't write,
and five songs he didn't ar­range.
Of these songs, only two
"Western Union Man" and
"Song and Dance" are note­worthy,
the rest are just fil­ler.
Kooper is trying to main­tain
the jazz-rock emphaSis
with a Nashville band, and it
just doesn't come off. The only
really successful cuts on the
album are "I Stand Alone",
and "Western Union Man",
both of which Kooper did ar­range.
Kooper is a brilliant
arranger and vocalist. Wit h B,
S, & T he was in his element.
It is unfortunate they had to
break up, but if he can't work
with really good people it
would be better if he did try
to stand alone.
However, it would seem on
the basis of the new B, s' &
T album that Kooper is better
off without them than are with­out
him. There are two basic
flaws in this album, bad ar­ranging
and bad singing; both
of which spring directly from
Kooper's absence. David Ciay­ton-
Thomas has replaced Koo­per
as lead singer, and he
approaches his craft with all
-the subtlety and finesse of a team
driver he can't sing (as he dem­onstrates
on "God Bless the
mule team driver. It's not that
Child"), but rather that he
chooses not to. He ·keeps com­ing
on like a lumberjack, yee­haws,
grunts, and all, the most
objectionable cuts being "Smil­ing
Phases" and "And When I
Die". In the same vein, the
arrangements are rather crude
and roughhewn, and moreover
have some distinguishing flaws
of their own, especially those
by Dick Halligan,- whose Syn­copated
Schizophrenia domin­ates
the album. Halligan shifts
rhythms back and forth, chang­es
style in mid-tune, and mis­cellaneously
mucks up some
otherwise attractive s on g s.
"And When I Die" (Hillbilly­Jazz
novelty?) and the pur­poseless
Latin rhythm break
in "God Bless the Child". The
only really good arrangement
on the album is the one for
"You've Made Me so Very
Happy" which was done by
Fred Lipsius and, mirabile
dictu, AI Kooper. The music­ians
on the album perform sup­erbly,
but in a losing cause.
The sound is successful, but
the music fails.

To the Editor:
• As one of those who have "failed our•

theory), I am naturally concerned over
the editorial reaction to the Gounnan
Report ("The Time Has Come," Stag,
February 5, 1969>. Though an editorial
column is a proper vehicle for opinion
on the news, one does have a right to
demand logic in the presentation of that
opinion. To quote Mark Twain, however,
"this requirement is flung down and
danced upon" in the editorial in question.
I call attention to a single passage upon
which the entire argument is based: "If
this report is reliable, and in Fairfield's
case it would certainly seem to be, then
• • . " This choice specimen of question­begging
is tantamount to an uncritical
accep'ance of the Gourman Report, yet
to the critical mind there is more than
a little ground for questioning the re­liabil'ty
of its findings (not to mention
Mr. Gourman's elephantine prose) . The
deficiencies in this report are so manifold
and obvious, in fact, as to preclude the
po~ibility that they will go unchal­lenged.
I suggest that this editorial represents
a willingness to accept at face value
whatever evidence accords with a pre­conceived
opinion, rather than a respon­sible
attempt to probe to the truth. I
further suggest that without such an
attempt on the part of all who make
up the university complex continued
progress will be frustrate!!.

I am writing you and many other

(ED. NOTE: Robert Dehler la writing 118 a gue.t oobmmlat
for Wllllam O'Brien thla week).
By ROBERT DEHLER
We all snickered a bit when we passed Dr. Grassi's door last
week. To all of us who have had their Q. P.'s or summers chopped
up as a result of Dr. Grassi's History of Modern Philosophy course,
the person who so cleverly informed Dr. Grassi of his "sickness"
seemingly spoke for us· all. But the more I think of it, the more
I reali~e in my own perversity, that it was the act of painting
teacher evaluation notices on doors that struck my fancy. I am
intrigued, however, ·at the object of the attack -Dr. Grassi, who
seems to me only sick by the standards of the school; which even
ignoring Dr. Gourman are dismally mediocre and become more
apparent with each s-~mi-annual diatribe against Dr. Grassi.
In this column I would like to take a look at our controversial
professor, without the prejudices and bias which have so strongly
tinged our notions of him. To do so it might be a good place to
beg:n only five years ago when he came to Fairfield. At that ·time
the philosophy department was completely run by the older
Jesuits who were in the process of being farmed out of other
disciplines, yet were still productive enough to teach rather than
run retreat houses. The ph'lcsophy courses these men taug'1t
ranged from "philosophical psychology" to "ontology"-fancy titles
for "gu's" - and the students loved it. This silliness comple­mented
the theology department which was the other farm for
old priests. So all together the students could count ten mandatory
philosophy and eight theology "guts."
Then all of a sudden into this maze of mindlessness Dr.
Grassi stumbled. He soon became chairman and began cleaning
up the nonsense. He immediately made a hard and fast rule,
which he has kept, and that is, hiring only qualified Ph.D.'s.
Outside of the physics and psychology .departments this concept
is still unhea:d of at Fairfield. But not only did he get doctorates
to come to our school, but he got them from the best schools in
the country (Columbia, Yale, Bryn Mawr) . You can only do this
by establishing a reputation for academic ex·cellence within the
department.
In a Catholic school where there has been a long tradition of
philosophy guts, Dr. Grassi was bound to strike a sore nerve -
his own personal characteristics of 'Jluntness and belligerence
when he believed he was right, fanned heavily the fires of anti­intellectualism
on campus. But above all he had the gall of making
philosophy courses tough - for this the students could never for­give
him. It's funny and yet sad, but in my four years at Fairfield
I have never heard the phrase "bad teacher" applied to Dr. Grassi
- it has always been "too hard" or "lousy marker.'' It is a sad
state of affairs at any university when a teacher is rated not by
his performance in class, but by the amount of work he gives.
I do not know whether Dr. Grassi himself favors the manda­tory
courses in philosophy - I personally do not, but I do think
that one course in Western Philosophy as Dr. Grassi has taught it,
is necessary for any intellectual appreciation of Western History
and culture and should remain mandatory. But regardless of Dr.
Grassi's views on the mandatory requiremen•s - this is not the
point; for he has no power to change it anyhow. This power only
resides with an administration that still thinks philosophy is the
handmaiden of Theology. If we are going to paint sickness on
doors, I suggest starting wi'h the Dean's office. Fr. Coughlin is
sly and tactful; he is not blunt and arrogant in his manner as Dr.
Grassi and so does not stand out as much. But beside Fr. Coughlin
it is the administration behind him who are truly responsible for
the amount of required philosophy and theology courses. And I
think that we all know th's deep down. Until we are able to de­stroy
the nonsensical attitudes prevalent in the administration we
are going to have to grin and bear all these mandatory cou;ses.
Singling out Dr. Grassi alone is cowardly - let us take on the
source of irrationality and not its pawns. For Dr. Grassi has tried
to make the intellectually unbearable a great deal more bearable
and for this he deserves our gratitude.
Thanks
To the Editor:
Thanks for no "sandbox" philosophy courses in which some
misguided science student might confuse "training for a trade"
with receiving a liberal education.
Thanks to Professor Grassi for an example of · a pattern of
excellence in teaching and for building one of the strongest phil­osophy
departments in an undergraduate college.
Lastly thanks to David 'Lish, without whose public remarks
I would never have been moved to so express my gratitude to a
real professor of philosophy and true leader of men: Dr. Joset:fl

The Faking/ Of Tt
"Since its inception the Student Government has never functioned
fully as a government, and this year it has reached a crisis. Some say
the government is dying, others say it is dead. This is not the time for
. words, but for action."
These obvious truisms were not spoken yesterday or last week.
They were instead the brave, magic catchphrases for Philip Howe's
victori.:>us campaign for Student Government President last winter.
Now that Mr. Howe's administration is in its death throes, we feel
it is time to take the gloves off and declare his honeymoon with this
newspaper long since over. His administration was a stillborn, abjeet
failure riddled with incompetence and amateurism. Are not his own
words - a precise description of the current status quo - proof
enough?
In some areas, Mr. Howe fulfilled the letter of his pledges at the
expense of their spirit. Communication with students increased in
quantity, but declined in quality, depth, and substance. Students are
more ignorant of government initiatives now than last winter. The
activities fee was raised .and collected via the tuition, but Mr. Howe's
uniquely uncharismatic handling of leadership evoked the traditional
lethargic response to due payment. Due to Mr. Howe's lack of imagi­nation
and inability to convey enthusiasm to his constituents, govern­ment
finances continue to suffer along in a condition close to mori­bund.
Student-sponsored speakers were featured, but they could not
match the Bellarmine Series' Julian Bond as a cultural attraction.
In other areas, Mr. Howe simply did not come across as he in­sisted
he would. Membership in the National Student Association, aid
to the Free University, and New York State social weekends were
forgotten promises. Mr. Howe pledged that Pass-Fail, Reading Week,
and Christmas Exams would be broached with the administration.
We may yet get Christmas Exams. but not due to Philip Howe. As for
Mr. Howe's ringing declaration to be "chief demonstrator," it is a
fact that in all his four years at Fairfield Mr. Howe never demon­strated
for ·one single. thing. His utter shallowness on this point left
the job of expressing student opinion to others at events like Father­Son
Weekend.
Presidents in command of their jobs and themselves are not
prone to engage in civil war with their legislatures. But Mr. Howe
·has frequently sniped at our legislature. The feud erunted over
Amendment Six, a seemingly logical extension of Mr. Howe's ag­gressive
campaign rhetoric which he did not fulfill. The Amendment
was in turn the result of Mr. Howe's simply unforgivable ha'ldling of
the Oonstitution. He was chairman of the drafting committee and
self-proclaimed "chief demonstrator" for a student body he repre-

sented as President, but he never received more than administrative
"suggestions" on it, never formally presented it, and ultimately ex­cised
his own product in favOIJo of "tripartitism." The Constitution is
now being rewritten by less fickle personalities. And surely the spec­tacle
of a students' "chief demonstrator'! so hopelessly out of touch
with his constitutents as to be decisively humiliated by them in an
c1cid test like the amendment referendum did not help our image in
the community.
As for the Peter, Paul, and Mary Concert, ~ethe once wrote,
"I hate all bungling as I do sin1 but particularly bungling in politics,
which leads to the misery and ruin of many thousands and millions
of people." Moreover, the financial statement on the debacle was
arranged so as to make a loss of ~ver $6,000 appear to be only in the
$1,000 bracket.
Mr. Howe promised financial stability and leaves chaos. He
promised a visible, efficient government and split it wide open. He
promised to arrest student frustration, and today disgruntled students
find their morale -at new lows. This editorial, however, is more than
a crude exorcism of a lame duck whose ability to retaliate is severely
limited. It is instead an indictment of the system which produces
Philip Howe's in the first place. This paper will withhold support
from any candidate or President who talks of "confrontation" but
lacks the nerve, pledges "change in the system" but lacks the pati­ence,
or cynically appeals for "a better social life." It will take a
superior performance from our next executive to restore student
morale. and we demand one. We shall not c·ountenance another
Philip Howe. ·
Grading The ·Graders
The Stag congratulates the Class of 1971 for bringing into reality
a long-desired and desperately-needed academic reform: student
evaluation of teachers. Extraordinary thanks are due to President
Thomas Gugliotti, Vice President Charles Dombeck, and Robert
Murphy. ·
We hope for massive student participation. An impressive turn­out
is all that can give the report any weight. We hope for frankness,
but not vindictiveness, in answering queries. Results lacking in credib­ility
would maim the experiment. We are most pleased at the estab­lishment
of the principle that students' views on teacher performance
are at least as important as Dean Goughlin's or the faculty's own
opinion. All that remains now is for the reform to become an official
function, recognized and aided as such by teachers and adminis­trators.

This Side of Paradise
By COLIN KILEY I!
For some months I have been engage_d in the undertaking or
trying to understand a problem which for want of a better term
I call "articulation!' Webster defines the word as "expressing one­self
clearly and effectively enough to gain attention" and it is in
this sense I mean the word, It is in the failure to articulate that I
attribute 1he communication problem in relation to the administra­tion
versus students on this campus and in larger scope, the youth
revolution as seen at Berkeley, Columbia, France, Mexico, Japan,
and Czechoslovakia.
Closely aligned to this situation is radicalism. Each of us if
not able to give reasons for 1he upsurge in radicalism today, have
only to read Time Newsweek, Life and the rest of the mass media
psychologists, The reasons they have presented are all too familiar
to us - the rapid changes in the twentieth century due to tech­nology,
the affluent society, and the violence of the era; all of
which have shattered stability. The rate of social change has been
fas ter than ever before and this means lives can be altered with
startling rapidity.
Today, a large percentage of young people are less concerned
about the security this age has brought to them or promises to
b:-ing and they are more concerned about basic human values. This
primarily is the result of mass media and freedoms of society
which have enabled young people to learn fas 'er and mature
earlier. The very accomplishments of this generation in technology
and communication it seems, have served to focus the attention on
just what this generation has failed to accomplish. And while the
youth of today experience the rapid changes taking place today,
adults are not quite ready to change their outlook that those
hippies threaten the security of the ·world. College students are
looked upon as spoiled or ungrateful because adults do not see
the reassuring images derived from the'r own college memories.
Thus. the youth are questioning their self assured society which
is so confident of its wisdom and purpose. But a society which
has produced such a magnitude of discontent has some serious
questions to ask itself.
The individual, most noticeably at the college level, wants to
scream out the changes that have taken place as far as human
values go and the new things he has seen. Who will listen? That
is precisely the pr oblem of articulation. How do you give expres­s
ion to your desire for involvement in society and yet your aware­ness
of your helplessness. This helplessness has coined new
phrases such as man against mass society, the generation, the
system or the establishment, and youth revolution. Young people
seek ways to show the sys'em it does not grasp them firmly in the
hollow of its hand. My individuality or my identity will not be
suppressed they are saying and thus the assault on the system or
the impersonal society begins.
It is clear that the youth of today don't want to be tied down
to the hopeless boring being which thus align with the middle
class - that would be giving in to the establishment. Most just
want to make the society they live in a better, richer society and
that does not mean just materially. They want change and insist
change and while it appears their efforts are futile still they seek
it. Some, after their efforts decide on total alienation while others
become indifferent. There is however, a large majority who are'
more than anxious to m~ke a personal effort to change that which
they oppose gradually retreat from confrontation with the in­flexible
sys•em. They settle down in the home and go off each day
to supposedly chosen vocation but it is not one actually chosen
because of what they think they can contribute but out of the con­viction
that commitment to anything other than their own well
being is fruiless, thus, the system needs no recruiting - there
will always be this eventual capitulation to the system because it
will not change.
While the headlines are given to the most disturbing events -
example, far left extremists, advocates of destruction of present
society - underlying the whole thing is national discontent -
with many individuals carrying out their own silent wars which in
some cases leads to action while in others it leads to frustration,
These people for the most part attempt to present their grievances
and establish a d!alogue in normal channels as evidenced in the
McCarthy campaign, Vista and the Peace Corps. Whether this
method will be successful or not, will be seen in the next years.
If not then perhaps far left ideals hold some substance.
Thus, I would say the problem of the future lies in the nature
of response to student articulation. It is as simple as this.

Presidential Candidates Express Opinions
CoDUnaed from Pap l
the Student Government. I've
heard too many words. I'd
rather act and fail than not
act at all."
The candidate is a resident
of Manhasset, Long Island, and
enjoys skiing, lacrosse, and
wrestling. He is a member of
the Law Club, and ha(l tutored
for FUCAP.
Ted Ka1oun describes the
atmosphere at Fairfield as
"empty and frustrated;" yet,
"the students are the most fan­tastic
human beings I have
ever encountered, and they're
worth doing something for."
Albert Mariani enters the
presidential campaign after
three years of service as Secre­tary
of the Student Govern­ment.
His record includes a
large number of bills, ten in
just this past year. He sees the
Student Government as "the
only body that can unify the
students behind a program and
carry things through."
Mr. Mariani adds however,
that "the government has
reached its lowest ebb." This
he blames on the executive
branch, which is responsible
for "positive programs."
His view of the president is
that of a central figure who,
being elected by all, is the one
who can propose positive pro­grams
and unify the students
behind them."
The candidate claims a broad
and thorough familiarity with
Student Government proced­ure:
"I have been working for
the government since October
of 1966. I am the only legisla­tor
who has followed the pro­posed
constitution since its in­ception
to where it is now."
Mr. Mariani heads up the sub­committee
which has been pre­paring
this document for rati­fication
since last September.
"Over Christmas vacation I
made all the necessary changes,
including the one man - one
vote provision."
The candidate is a resident
of Springfield Massachussetts.
Last year he was a member
of the Connecticut Intercolle­giate
Student Legislature.

Biafra- The World's
Modern Dachau
By STEPHEN MIKOCWK
Through History's eyes, we
look back a quarter of a cen­tury
to the bloody brutality of
Germany's concentration camps,
and wonder "Why?" We gaze
upon our parents' generation,
stained with Jewish blood, and
vow that our era will remain
clean. But this age is as guilty
as the last, for a new Dachau
rises - Biafra.
Nigeria has erected a block­ade
around the seceded state of
Biafra. Biafra now lies in a
state of starvation, which ful­fills
what a UN convention
terms a "state of genocide," but
upon which the UN refuses to
act.
The consequences of this star­vation
blockade are horrendous­ly
tragic. Two million Biafran
civilians are dead from starva­tion;
4.5 million are potential
victims. The International Red
Cross estimates that 10,000
people died daily in November,
1968. Estimations range from
15,000-25,000 a day for Janu­ary
of this year. Children suf­fer
most from this blockade -
many under five years old suf­fer
physical impairments or
psychological trauma. Most

children under 8 months are
dead.
Our problem is two-fold - to
obtain a cease fire to the Ni­gerian-
Biafran civil war and to
raise money for food and trans­portation
costs.
Many observers feel that, in
the new Administration, Secre­tary
of State, William Rogers,
will place emphasis on the need
for diplomatic initiatives, for
ensuring a cease-fire, and be­ginning
peace talks between the
disputants.
On the local level, much can
be done to raise money. Schools
have had marches for Biafra
and. "soup-ins" to raise money.
Fairfield University will hold a
fast on February 19, and Fair­field
University students have
sold Biafra buttons on street­corners
and will sell them in
the dormitories.
National organizations have
sponsored Forra, the Biafran
Christmas Ship. This ship filled
with 3,500 tons of food, enough
to feed one million Biafrans for
one month, is en route to Sao
Tome, a small island off the
coast of Gabon. There its cargo
will be air-lifted to Biafra,
where Holy Ghosts Missionary
Fathers and Church World
Services workers will distribute
it to the civilians.
Air transportation costs to
Biafra are high, and their ton•
nage is low. Until recently, the
tonnage was only 85 tons night·
ly, enough to sustain 10% of the
population. With the acquisition
of four C-97 Stratofreighters,
the tonnage will hopefully reach
225 tons per night. But the
Stratofreighters ·are costly to
operate, and the conditions at
Uli Airport, Biafra are poor.
This generation owes Biafrans
this help because these people
are human beings, suffering hu­man
beings. This generation
owes the Biafrans aid for the
sake of the next generation, so

campus as gripped by "frustra­tion"
and "morbid apathy." He
concluded however, that stu­dents
definitely want change:
"There has to be change, and
any change out of the Student
Government must be student
centered. There m u s t be
change soon, or there will be
no Student Government."
Sophomore Robert Murphy
occupies a unique position as
a candidate, for under Article
I of our present Constitution :
"The president must be a
member of the Senior class,"
or in other words, a junior at
election time. His plans depend
on an amendment now being
introduced in the Legislature,
which would remove this re­striction.
It will be taken up
by the representatives during
tomorrow evening's meeting.
Mr. Murphy believes that
there is "a basic need for
change in the student situa-tion."
He proposes a "strong,
united student government,
under a s t r on g executive
branch." The executive board
would spend "part of each
week in the dorm and snack
bar" to maintain contact with
the student body. Such a sys­tem
would prevent perform­ances
such as that of Philip
Howe, who "didn't get into full
swing until late November,
and seemed to die by early
December."
The candidate sees the presi­dency
as "the only base from
which real and complete stu­dent
reform can be accomplish­ed.
We have got to have an
imaginative and innovative stu­dent
leader. I have the desire
to assume such a position."
Mr. Murphy was elected to
two terms in the Legislature,
served briefly as a presidential
assistant, and was instrumental
in organiz.ing intercollegiate

student conferences on state
liquor-law reform. This se­mester
he succeeded in per­suading
the Administration to
allow a bar for twenty-one year ·
olds on campus. At present he
is co-ordinator for Parents
Weekend '69.
He feels that as a junior
president, "with still two more
years to go, I will have Fair­field
as my paramount objec­tive.
I won't go into a 'senior
slump.' "
Robert Murphy comes from
Arlington, Virginia. He is a
member of various campus or­ganizations,
including such lea­ders
as Delta Sigma Phi fra­ternity
and the Rugby Club.
In closing, Mr. Murphy
stated that his campaign and
hopeful office would be dedi­cated
to "the realization of a
student attitude geared toward
optimism instead of pessimism."

expressing interest or disinter­est

color both administrative and

This disinterest in courses
causes department heads to re­examine
their programs in
order to make the courses
more relevant to the students.
Likewise, student interest
aids department h e a d s in
bringing about improvement in
present courses and aids in
introducing new courses into
the curriculum.
Stag: Are you open to change

Dean: If there is to be a
change in the curriculum in the
coming year, it must be sub­mitted
to me by the faculty no
later than mid-March. We need
at least this much time to set
up a new program if we we
going to have it run efficiently.
One must remember that in
dealing with major curriculum
change, there is always a cer­tain
aillQUDt of "lag time" be­tween
the proposal for change
and the actual enactment.
An example of this would be
the major curriculum change
in 1962 which reduced the
average semester hours from
eighteen to fifteen. This change
took four ye~rs to implement

Stag: Do faculty members
other than those ln philosophy

you on this matter?
Dean: There have certainly
been several instances when
I've been approached by other
faculty members from the vari­ous
departments, concerning
the philosophy and theology
curriculum. For example, sci~
ence instructors have suggested
that certain requirements be
dropped in favor of additional
science courses.
However, the faculty curri­culum
committee, presently re­viewing
the general curriculum
requirements, will und.oubtably
assess the present need for
philosophy and theology re­quirements.
While they may
differ on t~ exact number of
required courses, I believe they
do acknowledge the benefits
derived from a Liberal Arts
backgorund, including phil.oso­phy
and theology.
. The greatest concern among
philosophy and theology faculty
members now is to enlarge the
options in their respective de­partments
and at the same
time make these courses link
in with the major courses in
which the students are in­volved.

The Stags then hit the road
and engaged the Pirates of
East Carolina at their Greens­ville,
North Carolina campus,
coming away with a 93-77 loss.
The Stags held a 29-28 edge
in field goals but lost the game
from the foul line where the
Pirates converted 37 of 47 to
~ the Stags' 19 of 25. That the
Pirates were to enjoy their
homecourt advantage to the
hilt was made painfully obvious
when a blatant dunking viola­tion
went unnoticed by the of­ficials.
The Stags were victimized
by fouls as Frazer saw only
nine minutes of play, in which
he was charged with five fouls.
Sanabria also fouled out while
Brown had four in twenty
minutes and Jim Dennis picked
up four more relieving him in
just sixteen minutes. The Stags
trailed at the half 42-34 and
could pull no closer in the sec­ond
half.
Every time that the Stags
came within reach they seemed
to be pushed back by the ever

By FRANK ARMADA
On Feb. ".1.4 the freshman
Stags met the best defense they
have faced all year and despite
somP. fine defensive work of ·
their own dropped a close one
to the Army Plebes, 55-51.
The Plebes led at the half
by nine, 32-23, but in the sec­ond
period the Stags came back
sparked by Bob Kelly to click
defensively and limit the cadets
to seven field goals and 23
points. The Stags scored 28
points in the second half but
the early cadet uprising had
been too costly.
Tom Bukowski led all Fair­field
scorers with 17 points. The
bifger Army team controlled
the boards bOth offensively and
Fencers
(Continued from Page 12)
finished with two wins and one
loss.
It was the foil team which
encountered heavy opposition _
and was unable to provide the
team with the support needed
for a Fairfield win.
Next week Fairfield com­pletes
its intercollegiate season
by taking on S.M.I.T., in Mass.
This will be the team's last
regular schedule meet before
it sends a selected fencer to the
New England Intercollegiate
Tournament to be held at the
Fairfield University Gymnasi­um

defensively throughout the
game, that being the decisive
factor.
Jaspers' Rout
Earlier the frosh lost to Man­hattan
at New Haven on Feb.
12. _The Jaspers carried a 15-2
record into the game and easily
won their 16th, led by Harry
Seawright's 24 point effort,
80-53.
Tim Barnes and Kelly scored
13 each for Fairfield. Manhattan
jumped to an early 12-2 lead
and were never headed. They
led at the half by 16.
The Stags closed the margin
in the early minutes of the sec­ond
half but the red-hot J as­pers
finally won, 80-53 .

The Stags coming off a fine victory over Manhattan (89-71)
Wednesday night lost to East Carolina (93-77) in Greenville, North
Carolina, Saturday night. The game was actually won on the foul
line as the Pirates converted on 37 free throws. The Stags got a
fine effort from Rick Sanabria who scored 26 points, Frank Maga­letta
added 22 points for Fairfield who is now 7-12. At the Gar­den,
Saturday afternoon Calvin Murphy personally led Niagara
to a 104-78 victory over Iona. Murphy was 18-for-32 from the
floor. Notre Dame's Austin Carr has returNed to the lineup after
six weeks of inactivity. He scored 25 points in 106-82 Irish victory
over Utah. Notre Dame with a healthy Austin Carr might be the
only team in the country which could seriously test UCLA. The
road will be difficult even if ND gets an NCAA bid. The Irish
would have to competE' in the NCAA Mit!western Regionals against
such ranked teams as Kentucky, Purdue, and the champion of the
Missouri Valley Conference. Traditionally the Mideast and the
Western conferences have dominated NCAA play.
While in the NBA, the four team race in the Eastern Division
is beset with a host, of injuries to key players - Luke Jackson
(76ers), Gus Johnson (Bullets), C~zzie Russell (Knicks) and the
Celtics have Bailey Howell nursing a bad ankle. As a result these
clubs have to use their bench with some surprising results. George
Wilson acquired by the 76ers from the Phoenix Suns has provided
Philadelphia with an excellent mobile rebounder to back up Dar­rell
Imhoff. Johnny Green has also performed remarkably. Bill
Bradley seems to have found himself as a wing man and he is
learning to play good defense. Don May and Mike Riordan who
had seen little action during the season have now become im­portant
contributors in the Knicks recent 11 game winning streak.
It looks as though Baltimore will win the Eastern Division cham­pionship
but the playoffs will be an entirely different picture.
Boston looms as the . logical favorite. The Celtics are a money
team a:rfd with a healthy Bailey Howell, the Celtics will be the
team to beat. Sam Jones after a lackluster first half of the season
has raised his scoring average from 12 to 15 ppg; Don Nelson has
emerged as a potent percentage shooter and the overall class,
finesse, and experience of the Celtics will make them extremely
tough to beat. in the playoffs. Philadelphia and New York are
hungry teams and b~nt on proving themselves in the playoffs.
76er coach Jack Ramsey has injected a college-type spirit among
his ball players, something which is very rare in professional
basketball. The club has had to prove to itself that it could win
without Wilt Chamberlain and Luke Jackson. These two men
played major roles in the past successes of the 76ers. Billy Cun­ningham
has become an NBA super star-perhaps the best forward
since Rick Barry left the league. Cunningham along with Chet
Walker provide the 76ers with one of the best duo of forwards in
the NBA. The problem for the 76ers is the lack of strength in the
center position. The outcome is pre,.tty -cloudy but the NBA play­offs
probably will be one of the most exciting in the league's 23
year . old history.

SIDELINE VIEW
By SHAUN D. HARRINGTON
The sports pages of The Stag seemingly ripped
apart the veritable intestines of Fairfield University
two weeks ago. Editorials may ·not be heeded, and
news articles may go unnoticed, but if one wants a real
shot at the solar plexus of this university, the sports
·page is the medium to incite further into the hearts of
each and every Stag.
May the Lord help that man who pinned the head­line
"Stags Are Tough?" on the article dealing with
the woes ·of the basketball team's fortunes of late. If
five torches were passed around here on February 5,
1969, that headline, along with the "Gourman Report"
ratings, and the scathing editorials might have driven
the Stags to revolt and action. Unfortunately, there
were no torches and no real firebrands, and the revolu­tionary
spirit of the day remained just that.
Now the dust has settled; the original headline
has now been replaced by "Stags Are Tough!" and
Mr. O'Connor and Fr. James M. Murphy have all but
proved the "Gourman Report" a hoax. Scathing edi­torials
now are giving way to less controversial ma­terial.
Fairfield is back to its basic reality. What is
reality at Fairfield?
Let us take a long, hard look at our basketball
team. It would seem to me that thiS' team is a micro­cosm
of the university, and I will explain why. Fair­field
University basketball is the knot that ties many
students together here. A large percentage of students
are looking forward to graduation at Fairfield because
they want their degree, and they cannot wait to bound
through the gates of this university. Why? Because
academic and social freedom around here is a joke.
This is a bit facetious, perhaps, for the situation is real­ly
quite sad. C:OnsequentJy, the students rally (or once
did rally) around the basketball team. The basketball
team is the magnet which gives one a sense of belong­ing
to this university, because we have been proud of
our basketball team.
But the headline shocked everyone. What does
ail our knights in shining armor? Nothing, the staunch
Stag supporters suggested. I say that what ails the
members of the basketball team is what ails everyone
else - a selfish, I don't give a damn attitude. And I
mean everyone else - administration, faculty, and stu­dents.
Everyone is pulling in separate directions. And,
on February 5, the basketball team got it right in the
neck. They became the scape-goat for the failure of
this university to perform its function as a free aca­demic
institution dedicated to "the creative intellectual
potential of its students."
Maybe there was some truth to the headline, the
"Gourman Report," and the editorials. Fairfield, my
brethren, is not a great university. Don't be diluted
into thinking that it is. The Fairfield brand of basket­ball
is not great, either. Oh, yes, we have potential, but
how far can you travel on potential?

SPORTS PERSONALITY
By JOSEPH VALERIO
Sports Editor
This has not been a cold
winter, but it has been a dreary
one for the Fairfield University
basketball team. Although we
blame the Jimmy Lynams and
Jimmy Browns, we, the Stag
fans, must also share the blame.
Most of us, there are always
some exceptions, have failed to
support the team when the go­ing
has proved difficult. When
defeat has repeatedly visited
our five, our spirit has dimmed.
We too, the Fairfield fans, must
share the blame for our team's
poor record.
There was a great deal of
hope for the Fairfield fan this
year. After all, our heroes of
last winter captured 12 of their
last 17 games for a respectable
16-10 record against the nation's
greatest collegiate teams. But
the Stags, especially their stu­dent
body, achieved their great­est
distinction in last season's
finale.
Bonnies Undefeated
St. Bonaventure came to New
Haven early last March with a
sparkling 21-0 record. The Bon­nies,
led by all-American Bob
Lanier, were out for an unde­feated
season. Fairfield, !;till
hoping for an N.I.T. bid, was
out for an upset. The Stag fans
were "up" for a dramatic upset.
Well, history recorded a 70-69
victory for the New York ball
club, but the greatest victory
was scored by the Fairfield fans.
Their Stag five repeatedly blew
opportunity after opportunity,
free throw after free throw, as
the Bonnies emerged victorious
in overtime. Then came the vic­tory.
Maturity
Before the St. Bonaventure
classic, the Fairfield fan cursed
poor officiating and bad breaks
for defeat. Last March we ma­tured.
We all realized our Stags
had not played their greatest
game of the year, but still they
almost won. Frustration would
have been justified. But class
prevailed that night.
The student body, with a
comradeship this campus may
never see again, stayed and
cheered their team as they dis­appointedly
walked to the lock­er
room. We screamed wildly
when the entire team came out
of the locker room and even
carried the players on our
shoulders. It was the "human
drama" of which George Bi­sacca
reminisces. Truly, the
student body of Fairfield Uni­versity
won a great deal that
night. We matured. We stood
by our team in defeat. Grant­land
Rice's classic statement
about defeat's valor became a
reality. In that one evening,
Fairfield University achieved
more class than all the jackets
and ties or the highest academic
ratings can ever grant. The
Fairfield fan was proud in de­feat.
Crossroads
But this is 1969 -- the year
of disappointment, disgust, and,
most importantly, failure. Our
team has failed to become a
cohesive combine. So has most
of our student body. I am just
as guilty as you. Let's face it,
aside from our mascot and
cheerleaders, few of us have
united behind our team since
Christmas vacation. We have
truly let them down.
Two weeks ago the Stags
played their finest game of the
season, los ing to Duquesne, 85-
75. One spirited basketball sub­stitute
said, "If we had won, it
would have made the season."
This season is not over. There
are six games left on the sched-
BEER
ule. The team and student bdy
are at a crossroad -- they can
go through the motions from
here on out, or we can regroup
ourselves in a unified effort.
Fairfield fans achieved too much
last year to kick it away so
easily this year. The time is
now and the decision is ours.

Rip Hofstra 7-0, II Lynam's Five
For 12-3 Log 'i· Snaps Slump
By STEVE DAUR
The Fairfield University
Hockey Club won its sixth
straight game last Friday with
a 7-0 trouncing of Hofstra at
Bridgeport. The game was also
the Stags fourth consecutive
shutout. The Stags have a non­league
contest this Friday with
its inter-city rival, University
of Bridgeport. Game time is
8:00 p.m. at Wonderland o!
Ice.
Fairfield jumped into a 2-0
lead, as frosh sensation, Jimmy
Monahan scored two unassisted
goals in a span of 72 seconds.
Monahan capitalized on two
· Hofstra passing errors to get
his first two scores. Ted Sy­bertz,
who did double duty
centering two lines, lit the
lamp with only 35 seconds left
in the first period. He was as­sisted
by Rick Callahan and
Billy Norko.
Flynn Scores
The Stags came out for the
second period a little sluggish,
and it wasn't until 11:57 ~ that
Monahan scored his third goal.
This was the sixth time this
year Monahan scored three or
more goals in a game. Two
~inutes later, Sybertz con­verted
a Monahan pass for his
s":cond goal of the game. With
just eight s e c on d s 1 eft
in the period, Jay Flynn took
Dave Fulton's face-off pass
and netted his first of the year
beating Hofstra goalie Bob
Cavaliero.
The third period was a de­fensive
struggle, with the
St<!gs making an outstanding
effort in helping Guy LaFlam­me
record his first shutout of
the season. La Flamme was
spelling Steve Daur who was
given the night off by Coach
Dr. John McCar thy. LaFlamme
made several fine saves in
getting his blank. Nork.o fin­ished
the rout at 14:04 as he
slammed in Tony Hartigan's
rebound.
This Friday, U.B. wili at­tempt
to avenge a 10-2 shel­lacking
the Stags dealt them in
November. The Purple Knights
are a vastly improved team, es­pecially
with the adding of
three Canadians to their roster.
U.B. is big and strong but the
Stags are quick and score very
often. The Stags also have not
lost E!t home, so this game
should be a very exciting one.

Snow Shortens
Intramural Play
By BILL WARNKEN
In a snow-shortened intra­mural
basketball schedule, only
four games could be completed
last week. Campion 3 and Re­gis
4 emerged with 2-0 slates
to lead League A, while the
Havis Medwicks own the same
record to sit atop League B.
The week's action, although
limited, resulted in the apppear­ance
of four new faces among
the top ten scorers, all four
moving in by virtue of low scor­ing
performances by four of
the previous week's leaders.
League A
In League A's two contests,
Campion 3 routed Loyola 3 by
a 61-39 score .and Regis 4 coast­ed
past Regis Ground 39-18.
Campion 3 led 23-16 at half­time
and then poured through
39 in the second half to win
easily. Tom Eaton led C3 with
13 points. Hank Dunphy paced
the losers with 12. Campion 3
is now 2-0.
In the other contest, Regis 4
upped its record to 2-0 by
trouncing winless Regis Ground
<0-2) 39-18. The R4 defense held
RG to the season's lowest of­fensive
production. Bill Barrett,
the fifth-leading scorer in the
league, led "The Best" with 12,
while the losers were led by
George Train and Mark O'Dono­ghue
with six each. Regis 4
and Campion 3 are tied at 2-0,
while C2, G1, PKT, and Beach
A all have 1-0 marks.
League B
In the B League's two games,
the Havis Medwicks climbed to
2-0 with a 42-37 win over Lo­yola
2 (0-2), while Campion 4
overpowered Regis 1, 61-39 to
even each club's record at 1-1.
The Medwicks, fresh from a
double overtime victory .over
C4, were given a surprisingly
tough game by the frosh from
Loyola 2's "Farm." High scor­er
Lou Laccavole was held to
just 4 points but his Havis team­mates,
Ed Parniawski (17) and
Joe Cavallaro (14) took up the
slack. Dave Baby led L2 with
8. The Havis Medwicks won the
game from the foul line, where
they scored 20 points to Loyola
2's 11. The frosh held a 13-11
edge in field goals.
In the other game, Campion
4 bounced back from their loss
to the Medwicks by romping
over Regis 1, 61-39. Tom Thie­lebeule
scored 16 for the win­ners,
who raced to a 30-15 half­time
advantage, as Ray Christo­faletti
-quarterbacked the fast­breaking
offense and turned in
several steals on defense. Regis
1 narrowed the gap to eight
early in the second half but
fell back as Thielebeule regis­tered
12 of his points in that
session. Campion 4 placed three
o~her men in double figures:
Rich Thielebeule (13), Ray
Christofoletti (10), and Pete
Comerford (10). High man for

Bow, 16-11
By FRANK CAROLLO
The Fairfield U n i v e r s i t y
Fencing Team, in its first home
meet of the season, suffered a
close defeat to Dartmouth Col­lege,
16-11, this past Saturday.
The meet marked the first en­counter
of the two teams in
intercollegiate competition.
It was the strong perform­ance
of the sabre team which
enabled Fairfield to go out to
E!n early 2-0 lead. Sabre fencer
Derry Chuga turned in an un­defeated
record for the meet,
winning each · of his three
bouts. Fencing in the second
spot was Jack Mikochik who
won two of his bouts and show­ed
fine form. Bill Sheehan
aided the effort by winning one
bout, and thus enabling the
sabre team to finish the day
with a 6-3 record.
Panczenko Wins
In the epee competition, an­other
undefeated performance
was turned in by Russ Pan­czenko.

The Fairfield Stag cagers
snapped a six-game losing
streak last Wednesday as they
trounced the Jaspers of Man­hattan,
89-71. On Saturday the
Stags absorbed a frustrating
loss at the hands of the Pirates
of East Carolina, 93-77. As a
result the season's r e cord
stands at 7-12 with seven
games to play.
In their most balanced team
effort of the season, the Stags
knocked off the Jaspers, dim­ming
their hopes of an NIT
bid. The Stags opened hot,
scoring ten points in the first
2 :30 of play as three of their
first five field goals were on
drives. A glimpse of the _bal­anced
scoring to come was pro­vided
in these opening mo­ments
as Mark Frazer, Jim
Brown, Rick Sanabria, and
Wayne Gibbons shared the
early scoring, giving the Stags
a 10-4 advantage.
Magaletta Returns
Frank Magaletta entered the
game after five minutes, mak­ing
his first appearance in
three games, as Frazer left
with two personal fouls. On a
rebound basket by 6-7 Jack
Marren, the· Jaspers closed the
gap to one at 14-13, before
Sanabria hit two quick bas­kets
to open up the lead. The
Jaspers hung in and narrowed
the difference to one at 22-21
after Jim Hessel's jumper had
given Fairfield a 22-17 bulge.
Marren then added a bucket
and the Jaspers had their first
lead of the night 23-22 with
9 :35 to play in the half.
After Hessel bagged another
jumper, soph guard Brian Ma­honey
drove for two to give
the Jaspers their second lead
at 25-24. On a long jumper by
their other soph guard, Matt
Lynett, the Jaspers gained
their third and last lead of
the game at 27-26, 7 :36 from
intermission.
The Stags then ripped off
seven points within 66 seconds
as Frazer had five straight.
Marren and Mahoney counter­ed
for the stubborn Jaspers
who reached their last tie at
31-31 with six minutes to play.
The half then ended as bal­anced
as it had begun as
Brown, Hessel, Magaletta, and
Frazer each scored two before
Captain Brown hit the last
shot of the half to give the
Stags a 43-38 lead. Frazer and
Sanabria had 11 and 10, re­spectively,
at that point.
Stags Pull Away
The Stags pulled away in
the second half, outscoring the
Jaspers 46-33. With Brown
s::oring five and Gibbons and
Sanabria a pair each, the
Stags outscored Manhattan 9-2
at the outset of the second half
