and found seats on a desk and
bed. My purpose there was to
uk information for an article
on the "Black Fraternity" at
Fairfield. I got that and more.
The discussion gave me an ex­perience
of a very human Black

a newspaper or magazine. Per­haps,
I was expecting more

The next Item on the agenda
(CoaUJlIued 08 Pace 6)
By BILL DILLON
The Faculty Undergraduate
Currlculwn Committee will
probably recommend to the re­mainder
of the faculty a new
core curriculum in the near fu­ture.
The core curriculum c0n­sists
of the reqy.ired courses all
students, regardless of major,
must complete.
QeDeral Ed1HlatioD
There are two programs of
general education: one each for
those seeking a B.A. degree or
a B.S. degree. The University
presently requires 81 credit
hours In the core area with
slight mod..iftcations in the B.S.
program.
Those pursuing a Bachelor of
Arts dep-ee will take 54 credit
hours of core curriculum and
24 c:red1t hours 01. elective. to
be taken In a fteld other thaD
their major. The Ind.lvidual d~
parunents will set the nwnber
of upper division credit hours
constituting a major. This will
vary from 24 to 30 credits with
the remaining 12 to 18 credits
left over becoming tree elec>­tives.
Those pursuing a Bachelor of
Science degree will also take
54 credit hours of core curri­culum.
The number of credit
hours devoted to courses outside
of the major field will probably
range from 12 to 1$. The exact
number has not yet been de­tennlned.
The remaining credit
hours (probably 48 to 54) will
be in the major field.
The Core Currlcuhun
The core curriculum Is based
on five are8,/! of study:
I. MathemaUca IDd Natural
ScIences: Pre sen t I y, four
courses, two in mathematics and
two In a natural science, are re­quired.
This is likely to remain
the same in the new curriculum.

On September 24, at a meeting of the Student Government Legislature, the fol­lowing
resolution was passed:
_ Be it resolved that the Student Body of Fairfield University call a mora to­rium
of classes on October 15, 1969. The purpose of this moratorium is to voice our
opposition to the war in Vietnam, and bring the question into the community.
'Ibe acceptance of this resolu..
tion highlighted the two-day ses­sion
of the Legislature. Other
Items on the agenda were the
unanimous acceptance of the
Trl-partlte Council resolutions,
extensive reVisions to the Stu­dent
Government Constitution,
and voting on the Goverrunent
Budget for the academic year
1969-1970.
Two Re!loluUons
The moratorium resolution
was brought to the floor of the
Legislature by Representative
Robert Carpenter, '71. The Car­penter
Resolution opposed a·
similar resolution submltted by
Rep. Patrick Long, '71. The
Long Resolution stated that a
"Day of Moratorium" should be
set aside for the purpose of dis­cussing
all the problems con­fronting
the nation today, such
as: poverty, race relations, In­Bation
as well as the Vietnam
conflict.
Supporters of the Carpenter
RHolutlon held that the mora­torium
which they were propos­ing
was in conjunction with a
national movement. This move.

want to keep this ftlth away
from our young people, and that
is why I'm partiCUlarly pleased
that I have been appointed to
this Commission for Standards
of Decency."
The commission's purpose Is
to analyze and evaluate all the
laws pertaining to obscene ma­terial,
to observe the printing
and distribution of such ma­terials,

that the school systems
in America do an inadequate
job of teaching Its young people
the mechanics of American poli­tics.
Senator Lupton explained
that be was "appalled at the
lack of information which pe0­ple
in general have about the
AmerIcan political system." He
added that in many areas of the
country people do not know the
Dames of their IocaJ politiea1

Lupton stressed his point even
further by stating that accord­ing
to a recest Gallup Poll there
are approximately "nine million
people in America who do not
know who Is President of the
United. States."
Mr. Lupton considers this ig_

his talk, Senator Lupton noted
lhat complaints often arise that

He argued that if more pe0­ple

failure to understand the Amer­lean
political system was the
underlying cause of much of the
discontent toward politics In

THE
Opitmism tor the Fall
Much has been said and I suppose much more will be said
concerning the student "unrest" and conflict of last spring. Fresh­men
arc probably confused as to what happened, Student Govern·
ment officials anxious as to what will happen, the faculty im­mersed
in its own turmoil over academic reform and an ad·
ministration willing to forget its past mistakes.
The Class of ;73 is just getting adjusted to college life and
the rest of the campus is settled in its nine month residencies.
People seem more relaxed than ever before about themselves and
life. But, what has happened over the past few months to promote
this attitude?
Unlike the past two summers which were marked by civil
rights turmoil and the fiascos known as the national conventions,
the summer of '69 was relatively quiet. We have spent the tlrst
summer under a Richard Nixon striving for the middle road in
American pragmatism sprinkled with humanitarianism. His actions
on Vietnam leave much to be desired but it is better than we ever
thought possible. Also, the Senate liberals began their OWn war
against the evils of the military industrial complex. And of course
there was Woodstock and Bethel, N.Y. All of these taken together
and it seems that there is a chance for the movements and ac­tivism
that have captured American youth. The summer of '69
was one of rest and hope for reform, revision and renewal.
This feeling and attitude has overflown even onto this campus.
But our confrontation of last spring breeded student unity and a
skeptici~m of the administration. However, when we returned to
campus over two weeks ago there were six new appointments to
the student services division of the University and four are '69
graduates. These people represent a change in structure and
maybe a change in direction on student affairs. Also, in last week's
Stag the lead news article ooncerned President McInnes' hope for
the Tri-Partite and if one reads between the lines, it is evident
that the Melriani Government is doing a superior job of reordering
the Student Government.
In the opening day Mass, Dean Coughlin spoke of how dif­ferent
people may view a social reality and yet be valid in their
judgments but in themselves are incomplete. He noted that man
needs to order his life and he must communicate and find ground:i
of compromise or common meaning to strncture a society. S~ak­ing
as Academic Vice President and Dean of the University I can
only wonder if Father Coughlin was stating that the administration
would be more open and flexible to ideas and constructive change
recognizing that students have a legitimate r:sk in the school.
Could this mean an administration not bogged down in its own
bureaucratic red tape when it comes to changing things? I hope so.
We now have a government that is working effectively, a
student body that is relaxed and eager for improvement and an
administration which seems open to change. Thesf' are reasons to
be optimistic this Fall but if the optimism fades into pessimism _
there's always next Spring.
really helpful, trYing to keep you out of trouble." A pair of room­mates
reported knowing Jim "real good . . . The seoond night
here we got in trouble. We didn't even know what a prefect was,
and here we had two girls in the room . . . he could have really
given us a lot of 5-, . . . he always has something pleasant
to say ... I really like the kid."
Daily himself sums up rather aceurately the attitude ot many
advisers this year: "What we are trying to do is to get the hall
into a community where there won't be any need for enforcement
because the rules will be enforced by each individual student on
the other. The rules will be there and will be followed. We want
the students to respect the rnles because they are living in a com·
munity situation."
As for the freshmen, one said"... sure, we know just about
everybody here (Campion 2) we had a big party and got to
know people real good, and "
Next May, when the student body turns to assess the past
academic year, we will have to look in part to the "new breed" of
resident advisers in the hope that it was not "another year" but
instead, "New Year."

On Campus
. None of the advisers interviewed showed any intention of
shirking from the less popular responsibjJities of being resident
advisers; because the Dorm Council is not yet established John
~, "",..h sa:d that he would have "no recourse" but to re'port _
student guilty of continuous infractions to Loyola Office. Tom
Rosendahl feels that there will be certain instances when "the men
on the floor have to sacrifice their individuality for the good of
the corridors." Yet, the underlying principles seem to have chang­ed:
"I feel that a student acts in an immature manner when he is
treated immaturely, and in a paternalist'c manner," said Rosen_
dahl. This view is apparently shared by some Administration
members as well, for, as Mr. Rosendahl reports, Student Services
intends to "place a great deal of responsibility on the student."
"THE NEW BREED"
Most Fairfield students wll1 readily agree that the university
ha~ undergone considerable change in recent years, from the
limited results of the dress code resistance of '68 to the full scale
social reform movement of last spring.
In both of the protests cited above, the students were re­minding
the Administration of the need to maintain a community's
social codes in keeping with the times; and in both cases the Ad­ministration
turned instead to salaried allies for the prolongation
of it~ aged system: of the teachers it requested student observance
of the dress codes which magically created "a professional attitud~
in the classroom"; of the contracted prefects it demanded the
enforcement of a social code which in a not unusual case might
find a draft-age youth careening drunkenly down the turnpike in
a dangerous effort to make his 1:30 bedtime.
Times, admittedly have changed. Teachers have indicated,
for the most part, that they prefer teaching: and the prefect has.
at least nominally, passed on.
Resident Ad\'isers
Replacing the prefect is the resident adviser. The significance
of this change remains to be seen; but, if present attitudes can be
relied on, the attitude of today's advisers will insure tht:.' continua­tion
of 8 liberalizing spirit in the Administration's dealings with
resident students.
For one, the advisers do not see themselves as the rigid en­forcers
of regulations handed down by the Administration, as
many of the prefects once saw their posi~ion. Instead, there is an
insistence on the ac!visers' part to make decisions according to
0' -'n ~'\Ia" rase. ., sill'ation ethics based on the norm to do, as
Campion's adviser James Daily puts it, "what is good for the cor­ridor.
for the people I live with."
Secondly, the advisers are now under the direction of a re_
vitalized Student Services Department, under the directorship of
William Schimpf and Henry Krell, whom the advis:.-rs regard as
forward-looking administrators in sensitive posts. "From what
I'vc seen so far," said Regis' Thomas Rosendahl, "it appears as
if they're going to go along with the liberalization in many of the
activities of the social life of the students."
Finally, there is a marked emphasis among the advisers to
see themselves in the position their name implies. They want to
t-,.. ""'n'''1 '. It-ror r,..i~ lxp":,ienc:.-d fell::w students, to engender
corridor spirit and unity instad of serving as a mindless extension
of administrative paternalism, "knocking on doors and sniffing
pc·)p·~·~. I' ';:l:h' as Jorn ~t:'allch of New Dorm 4 describes. It is
therefore interesting to examine the thinking of a member of what
is hopefully a new breed.
Whatever the future may hold for campus dormitory life, the
working philosophy of the "new breed" seems to have already had
some positive effects on student boarders: "It's nice here," said
one New Dorm resident last week; "like, you can pretty much do
your own thing ... study, sleep, have a few drinks, maybe even
get laid. Hell, 1 can't believe how much this place has changl'd."
T"" {....."!"Im...n on Campion 2 don't quite have the same exubefo.
ance, although they expressed satisfaction with their new college
life and with their corridor residents. A bearded student praised
Jim Daily as giving "everyone on the corridor a fair deal. You
can go to him any time that you want, and he'll diseuss your prob­lems
with you." Another said his advisers are "like real friends,
Jim is the resident adviser of Campion 2's sixty-odd freshmen.
When he's on duty, th~ door is open; during weekday evenings it
is usuaHy quiet. Jim and fe!low resident Ed Boucher believe in
the observance of the temporary handbook regulations. To a tw~
year alumnus he wouldn't seem much different from the prefects
of old. One must take a closer look to realize that Jim is there
"to try and help the students out in any problem they may have.
socially, academically, or personally, in an advisory capacity."
"I don't consider myself a policeman," Jim calmly insists. "I
consider myself someone who, if the need arises, will en'orce a
rule for the good of the corridor, for the people I live with." He
has no trouble defining his position, even as the grounds of social
regulation continue to shift under the Student Government's liber­alizing
drive: ''I'm not really on the other side of the fence now
I'm still a student." He doesn't give much thought to changes i~
the rules, because, in his view, his primary rule is that of an ad­viser,
and not an enforcer: "My position, as the rules change isn't
going to change at all."

THE STAG
United States Attorney General John Mitchell recently appeared
before a Senate subcommittee to plug the Nixon Administration's bill
on drugs. The bill has no provisions for research and little for re­habilitation,
but it does have minimum penalties of two years for first
use of marijuana and five years for second sale of it. Senator Edward
Kennedy asked Mitchell if a presidential commission should deliberate
on legalized marijuana before such stringent penalties were enacted.
Mitchell said Kennedy's suggestion was good, but of less priority
than immediate enactment of the deterring penalties.
Operation Intercept has been in progress for some time near the
Mexican border, and what the search and seizure has not yielded in
results of confiscation has been taken care of by the addition of nau­seating
chemicals. According to Assistant Attorney General Richard
Kleindeinst, "If we cut off the supply of marijuana at its source, we
will drive prices sky-high and effectively take it out of the hands of
90'}'o of the kids."
The Mental Health Association has for some time broadcast ads
in which the voice of playwright Rod Serling intones an admonition
to young people to forego smoking pot. The only compelling reasons
he offers are the ferocious jail penalties and the loss of ability to
climb in adult America's social and professional circles.
Some questions beg at all this. If the legal dangers of smoking
marijuana are greater than the medical dangers of it in the eyes of
the Mental Health Association then does American society require
protection from users of marijuana or vice versa? If an operation at
the Mexican border aimed at curbing what has traditionally been re­garded
as a freakish aberration is now meant instead for "90'}'o of
the kids," one wonders if Mr. Kleindeinst, whose chief claim to fame
is his decisive role in Barry Goldwater's 1964 horror show, regards us
all as freaks ?Or by what divine right he and the entire law enforce­ment
industry take it upon themselves to persecute a whole subculture
because its definition of "kicks" does not jibe with Middle America's
six-pack? What does Richard Nixon hope to leave as his legacy by
this action which he is abetting? Is the President swayed by the
inane presence of his son-in-law into thinking that most of America's
young belong to his lunatic fringe of dull people and must be pro­tected
by legal onslaught from the perils of the joint?
If the answer to any of these rather leading questions is "yes,"
then we can only throw our hands up in disgust at the madness it in.
dicafes. Because other events have been occurring as well. Six week~
ago, upwards of half a million young people flocked in a lemming~like
migration to the Woodstock Festival and roughly nine in ten smoked
pot; those who did not were very likely using more potent drugs. The
testimony of their presence was a direct challenge to the authorities:
Pot will not go away. It is here to stay. It is not a problem, it is a way
of life. The chief physical harm sustained in smoking it is chafing of
the wrists from being handcuffed. The fear of marijuana springs not
from a generation gap but a culture gap, between the whiskey culture
of older, strailZ'ht people who brought America throuRh the Twentieth
Century and the drug culture of young. hip people who face the more
complex challenge of bringing it into the Twenty-First.
Our own view is quite clear. The only flaw in Senator Kennedy's
suggestion of a commission is that it is not needed. And turning a
deaf ear to the Attorney General's proposals would be going out of
one's way to dignify them. The solution is to legalize marijuana. It
should have been legal long ago. It should be legal now. It cannot be
legal too soon.
The reasons are lucid and compelling. Most are directly related
to the commonly-expressed inhibitions about its legalization. For ex­ample,
it is feared that marijuana inevitably leads to harder. more
potent drugs and its sanctioned use would therefore be an open in­vitation
to disaster. We doubt it. No one even pretends that marijuana
can be physically addictive, or that it has a cause-and~effect relation­ship
to LSD, speed, or heroin. It often happens, but for other reasons
which its legalization would dispel. The same pusher who peddles pot
usually peddles harder drugs, and forcin~ smokers to deal with them
in the first place is already an open invitation to disaster. Bringing
the sale of pot out of the streets and into the drugstores would hurt
the very pushers who are making a killing on Operation Intercept
because the famine forces escalation to the hard drugs they have on
hand. With marijuana now illegal, a youngster, to drop alcohol and
smoke pot, must already drop out to the extent of subjecting himself
to the great physical risk. Once he has done so, it is a steadily simpler
matter to move on to harder drugs. If marijuana were as accessible
and sanctioned as beer is now, second thoughts on the hard drugs
would be forthcoming because their penalties would be genuinely
prohibitive instead of mere icing on the cake.
We do not prppose that pot's effects are not varied, occasionally
unpredictable, sometimes actually harmful. But so are the effects of
alcohol, tobacco, candy, milk, water, and even oxygen, and one is not
likely to be jailed for using them. Legalization w~uld aid i,n cur~i!1g
undesirable side effects because sometimes they anse from Impuntles
and other unknown factors peddled by pushers (legal marijuana
could have the protection of Federal quality inspection). As for emo·
tionally disturbed people taking it, they do already, and aften as
the crutch of the illicit. It is indeed undesirable to drive when stoned,
bus as things stand now it is safer to smoke. on a highway than in.R
house, so keeping pot illegal enhances the highway safety dangers It
now implies.
The arguments could go on indefinitely, but it is generally clear
that whatever abuse is feared with legal marijuana is already occur­ring
and will continue to be inevitable. and that marijuana is being
kept illegal to protect the fragile reasoning be~ind the po~icy fro~
being given the open test it would probably fall. To legahze man­juana
would be to possibly abort its bad effects and reap a potential
crossharvest of good ones.
Certainly those half-million people at Woodstock are not sud·
denly going to lay down their pipes and surrender to a finger snapp~d
from the Justice Department. Woodstock proved that drug laws will
soon be as unenforceable as Prohibition ever was via sheer force of
numbers. so a decaying respect for law will not be our fault but
rather Mr. Nixon's. It also proved that legal pot is inevitable even if
harmful, because someday the people who tripped at Woodstock a~e
going to be running America. Moreover, the purpose of law is public
.safety and order through equity, and a deliberately-planned war on
another culture defeats that purpose, while learning to cope with
marijuana's powers by bringing its use out into the open where it can
be freely observed once arid for all accomplishes it. It is time to stop
the madness and ratify reality. Our society, derided the world over
for its penchant for violent death, would do well to take the lead in
accommodating the drug whose name many utter in the same breath
as "peace."

!bey further stated with the
Black students In the campus,
the University Qualifies itself
for certain Federal grants and
that for this reason, they easily

strong factor in attracting Black
students to Fairfield. They ad­mit
also, that the University
does offer several other attrac­tions,
such as the five year pro­grams.
A university should reflect
Its locale to an extant, John
concluded, and nowhere in the
Bridgeport or Fairfield County

fonns the main distinction be­tween
this group and the Afro­American
Society at Fairfield.)
Each brother must maintain
a 2.5 Q.P., strive to uplift him­self
and the community, and
have the perserverance to fol­low
the by-laws the fraternity
establishes in order that indi­vidual
members together can
work as one.
The local brothers come from
various urbanized areas of the
Eastern Seaboard and mainly
work In the Bridgeport com­munity,
tutoring youngsters and
attempting .to sway them too
college careers.
The Bridgeport area chapter
of Omega Psi Phi meets on the
second Saturday of eve r y
month. But, as Richard emph!­sized,
the fraternity gathers
anytime two or three brothers
are together.
Omega Psi Phi is hoping for
a pledge c I ass of fifteen' to
twenty Fairfleld students this
year. There will be invitations
for a smoker to be held In the
I,ear future. However, no exclu­sion
policy will be used and all
interested, whether invited or
not, will be admitted The type
of pledge they are Interested In
is one who can mix well in
either Black or white company.
The discussion then turned to
the attitudes which the white
student body and the Univer­sity
administration hold toward
the fraternity. Each per son
agreed that the 1969 campus is
greatly Improved over its
counterpart of three years ago.
They are impressed that, today,
the students of Fairfield are
more concerned with the world

the senior c<>eaptaln can look
back before entering his third

age, poured It on the hapless
Stags.
The Impression which most
Falrfleld fans were left with
was the realization that the
Fordham University club foot­ball
team is not only far supe­rior
to Falrfleld's, but Is by far
the best club football' team In
the nation. For one thing, Ford­ham
will not lose to any club
football team they will play this
season. As It Is, the Rams have
scheduled two varsity teams for
this year, and they expect to
have abnost a tull varsity slate
by next season. The Rams meet
Sl John's this weekend who are
fresh olf an upset win over tlfth
ranked Siena, 12-6. It looks like
the Redmen can expect the same
kind of thrashing that the Stags
received from Dadd, Maguire,
and the rest of the Rams.
As for the Stags, they meet
the Jaspers of Manhattan this
Saturday at Gaelic Park at 1:30
p.m. The O'Toolemen must re­group
and realize that they will
be playing a team of their own
caliber and class. Manhattan
won a thriller from King's col­lege
of Pennsylvania by a 7-2
score.
Fortunately, the Stags suf·
tered 00 major Injuries except
bruised pride. The question Is
If the team can rebound like It
did two years ago after a 35-6
setback to Iona. Then, the
Stags, after suffering a disheart­ening
opening loss to the lona
Gaels, turned around and regis­tered
four victories out of Its
next tlve games. The only set­back
was a 21-19 last minute
loss to Fordham. Fairtleld must
once again duplicate this feat.
Look for a great Improvement
this Saturday against Manhat·
tan, a team which the Stags are
capable of beating.
sion. Buzz points out that this
is both good and bad. The team
will undoubtedly benefit from
having players eligible for four
years. However, our competi­tors
will be strengthened by
this rule as well as by their al­ready
existing edge in recruit­lng.
Buzz Is understandably dis­appointed
in the polley here that
allocates no scholarships to soc­cer.
He comments: "Despite the
fact that we have no scholar­ships,
this is our best team
ever; but we have to face teams
with several scholarship play­ers
and older, more experienced
men. I'd like to see some schol·
arships to help the team of '73
reach its potential."
Diverslll.ed Player
Buzz, known to his team­mates
and senior classmates as
the "Mad Ukrainian," looks for
Southern Connecticut, Fairleigh
Dickinson, and Central Connec­ticut
to provide the Stag hooters
with their stiffest tests.
Coming olf their first winning
season (7-6) ever. Buzz sets the
goal for the team this year at
1M. He counts on veteran jun­ior
scorers Roland Corbin and
Dan Wilcox to team with new·
comer Chip Mount to lead the
offense. On the other end of the
tleld Buzz ls unwavering in his
acclamation of goalie Gary
Dayon. "He Is one of the best
goalies I've seen around He
has no fears about diving lnto
the midst of an onrushing of·
fense."
Buzz, hims!!lf. has no qualms
about diving into the midst of
things.
In addition to his lab-filled
physics program, he is a memo
ber of the Glee Club in his
fourth year. and performlni at
the playhous,~ for the second
year. Current:ly, Buzz is work­Ing
on Tennessee Williams'
play, "A Streetcar Named De­sire,"
to be performed here In
December. He will portray
Stanley Kowalski. the sultry
Pole whose role was tilled by
Marlon Brando in the movie.
Buzz feels tho.t this part fits him
well: "He's a beer-d.rinking,
down to earth guy - just the
part for me:' In his debut last
year, Buzz was a dancer in "A
Taste of Honey:'
Buzz's post graduation plans
include graduate school in nu­clear
physics, possibly at Geor­gia
Tech. In a,:ny event, he wants
to travel and that too, is in his
blood, having been born in
Munich, Gemlany of Ukrainian
parents and moving to Perth
Amboy, New Jersey, as a
youngster. Wherever he travels,
as long as he can flnd "a bunch
of guys ki.cking the ball
around," Buzz Kowaluk won't
be far from home.

Opening Day '69
Lawrence O'Toole, the new h~ad football coach
at Fairfield University, was standing with his hands on
hips while he looked up at the bright, sunny sky. This
was the moment he had been prepping his team for:
they were about to face the Fordham University Rams,
the nation's number one ranked club combine. Clad in
a yellow shirt with green slacks, co-ordinated with a
tasteful striped tie, O'Toole looked sharp and relaxed.
He hoped his team would play in the same manner.
The dark-haired mentor called his players to~
gether for a huddle and said, quite calmly, HFrank's
only been rushed by four to five man lines. He may be
given a heavy rush. Help out each other." The man is
not a coach - he's a prophet. Frank is, of course, Frank
Schultz. Frank Schultz is not a great quarterback, but
he proved himself to be a highly competent player last
Fall as a freshman. Last Saturday Frank was a sacrifi­cial
lamb. Never in my life have I seen a quarterback,
anywhere, receive such terrible protection from his of­fensive
line. As Coach O'Toole predicted, Schultz was
not rushed by four or five men, he was rushed by the
entire University of Fordham. For his efforts Frank was
decked a dozen times and I doubt if Edward Ma­guire,
the Ram signal caller, will hit the turf that many
times this year. So when Frank Schultz receives lousy
protection from his interior linemen the Stags will be a
lousy team.
Mid-way through the first quarter Schultz told his
coach the facts of life: "The two guys over center are
coming in untouched." O'Toole nodded in agreement.
A moment later Joe Kurzrock, a Fordham halfback,
returned a Stag punt 70 yards for the game's second
touchdown. The Rams led 14-0 and O'Toole saw the
hand writing on the wall. His Stags were suddenly a
dejected bunch. All of their pre-game spirit had been
stolen by the brilliant and bruising running of the
Rams' fullback, Eric Dadd, and the superb play selec­tion
by Maguire. Fordham was home free but the base
Rams wouldn't leave till they scored eight more touch­downs.
The final score was 69-0 and there must be
something in those numbers, Surely, everything was not
fine.
Stag. Face Turning Point
So where do the Stags,,go from here 1 The best
thing they can and should do is forget about last Sat­urday.
but who can tell what fate holds for our. grid­ders
this Saturday 1 Last year Fordham belted FaIrfield
41-0 and almost everyone agreed that this year's con­test
would be a much closer game. As it turned out the
Stags suffered their worst defeat ever and to their most
hated foe. The humiliation the club eleven suffered last
Saturday may not be concealed.
This Saturday the Stags face another dynamo, in
an away battle at Manhattan. The following week they
will be at Iona. Hence, their three toughest games of
the season are, also, their first games,
If the Stags are to rebound their offensive line will
have to re-~roup and start playing football. O'Toole
urged his offensive squad to "get up off the ground and
start blocking," Like a good woman, it's what's up
front that counts. Against Fordham, Fairfield didn't
have it. Still there are a few horses on the Stag team
who can lead the club to a winning season. John Mori­arty
is a tough linebacker and Tom Rosendahl is the
Sta~s' only strong lineman. The challenge they face is
a difficult one, but with guts and detennination they
can meet it,
The season consists of eight games, not one. Last
year the Stags compiled a poor 1-6 mark. but four of
their defeats could have easily been victories. A supe­rior
team, or one with a good attitude, makes the close
ones fall their way. If the Stags' spirit remains at the
same hi~h fervor it was before the ~ame with Fordham
they will have a winning season this Fall. But, most
importantly, football is a hi~hly psychological $fame,
The team with the great attitude usually wins. Hence,
spirit is the name of the !tame. The Stag eleven has
worked hard this year. They should not hold their
heads down in defeat. Their pride should make them
bounce back,

By DON SCHMIDT
Last Saturday atternoon an
Injury-rJddled Stag rugby "A"
team defeated the Fordham
rngby team 16-6 at -Marymount.
In a dismal weekend of sport­ing
events at Fairfield, the Red
Ruggen were a shining ray of
hope, that perhaps Stag sport
fans will have a team they can
be proud of this Fall
While the rngby team did win
on Saturday, allis not well with
them for they had a very d1f.
flcult time with an inferior
Fordham team. At the half the
ruggers were losing to Ford­ham
3-0, due to a 3O-yard pen­alty
kick by junior Ben Cher.
It was only due to sparkling
defensive playS by Jim CBaey
and -Pat Burke that the Ruggen
were not turther bf!hlnd at thk
point. As Rugby Club Vice
President Chuck Dombeck stat­ed:
"The team, during the first
half, suffered from extremely
poor passing, and untimely pen­alties
which stopped the few
chances we had to score."
In the Fairfield Rugby Club
dedication to the sport and the
club Is a big. aspect. Nowhere
Is this more evident than In for­mer
club President Bill Con­nolly.
Bill graduated last year
after an outstanding career on
the team for three years. This
year the rugger.s are noticeably
weak at the booter position, so
Bill volunteered to play another
campaign, and needless to say
the ruggers are delighted to
have him.
Strong SecoDd Half
In the second half the rug­gers
completely dominated Ford­ham
outscorlng the Rams 16-3.
In the second half the ruggers
looked llke the team Fairl\eld
fans had grown to love last
year. The entire team looked
improved especially Tom Krenn
who scored 10 points, all on
kicks and Q. Murphy who had
two tries for six points. Joe
Sindt played Inspired ball in
front of his Marymount fan
club. All afternoon the serum
looked excellent, but the back­field~
s passing left much to be
desired, and It Is guaranteed
that work will be done on this
during the week.
Sidelined Pillyel'll
The Ruggers were a depleted
team this week due to injuries.
Frank Santulli and junior Sur­vich
are out at least for two
more weeks with shoulder
separations. Fatty Maher is lost
to the ruggers for the season
with a case of mononucleosis.
These losses to the team are a
part of the reason for the poor
first half showing, and while
losing players of this caliber
cannot help the team, as the
replacements, Paul (Buddha)
F1anagan and Burke become
more familiar with the rest of
"A's" the team will improve.

The Fairfield Football Club
opened its fourth football season
last Saturday afternoon at
Alumni Field, hosting the num­ber
one football club in the na­tion
- Fordham University.
The Rams, who opened their
89th gridiron campaign, beat the
Stags, as was expected; but it
was the margin of victory that
was not expected. Not only did
Fordham score 10 touchdowns
to attain the phenomenal total
of 69, but the Ram defense held
the Stags to a minus 86 yards
rushing, and a total of minus
47 yards tor the entire after­noon.
This amazing feat includ­ed
Fairfield's QB Frank SChultz
being decked 12 times by Ford­ham's
defensive line while at­tempting
to pass.
