When asked about tbis po8sl­bility,
Fr. Varnerin remarked
tbat such plans haven't as yet
been e.nabUshed and that the
primary concern of the Urdver_
lIity Administrators Is the pre>
motion of a superior under·
graduate system.
Unde the present condIUons
a graduate school in the scI­ences
would be impossible due
to the lunlted facilities which
arE' available.
Another posslbillty whIch may
come Into being as a result of
the completion of the science
complex is a reciprocal instruc­tional
program with Fairfield
Uciversity. sacred Heart Uni­versity,
and the University of
Bridgeport. If this develops, cerA
taln science courses would be
offered to students of all ~
scbools.
Also, research facilities at the
B:.nnow Science Complex may
be made available to students
at Sacred Heart Unive~lty due
to the lack Of adequate fadlI­ties
preEent there. Presently,
these plans still remain only
poMibllities with final decisions
stili to be made.
The !'lcience complex will be
completely alrcondltloned and
will contaIn, along wltb class­rooms
and laboratory facllltles,
areas for keeping test animals
and a greenhouse. Uke the U·

THE STAG Nowmber 5, 1969
Fr. McInnes- The Art OfAcademic Citizenship
An address to the Faculty
Convocation - Fairfield Uni­versity
- September 15, 1969.
I. latrochlcUoD
September revives tor an
academic community the peren­ial
unanswered questions about
identity, activities and struc­tures.
Starting afresh as It
does every fall, a university re­opens
for itself questions of who
it is, what it is trying to do,
and how it can carry out its
functions as a community.
This year is no exception; in
fact what has been an annual
academic reflection echoes ~
day as a critical emotional
issue. Because of the question­ing
last year of the basic value
system of the university, aca­demic
communities this Septem­ber
face major questions of in­dividual
and eollective dfu:en..
ship.
Fairfield is no exception. We
share the same tensions and
moody uncertainties as most
other Institutions as we begin
our new year. r would like to
suggest that In this climate
our major task is to learn the
science and art of academic
citizenship. That should be our
priority goal for the coming
year. Throueh the proceu of
learning to live together as an
academic comunlty we will
learn much about our operation
and even more about ourselves.
n. CbaUeJII'e of Ideality
Tbe first step toward seU
realization must be the recogni­tion
that we are sderma; from
an acute Identity crisis that is
both individual and institutional
Along with many colleges
caught up in waves of activism
and beckonlne horizons of out­side
Interests, we are not sure
just what we are supposed to
be: service stations, closed cor­porations,
the moral conscience
of a nation or houses of intel­lect
or Or all of these or As a
private college we can not
see clearly where we might be
located on the educational map
as the public college movement
urbanizes the landscape like a
bulldozer building federal high­ways.
OUr position as a liberal
arts college with a strong core
curriculum, Is severely threaten­ed
by an Increasingly special­Ized
world. To add to our priv­ate
confusions our dlstlncdve
role as a church related insti­tution
has been shaken by
rapid chang" In both the
church and the world Finally
as a privately supported ool­lege
with an operating deficit
and no endowment (except the
gift of contributed services of
52 Jesuits who gave back to
the University their salaries of
$250,000). the future hardly
looks bullish. We face unre­solved
quesdons of idendty as a
private, liberal arts, church re­lated,
financially pinched aca­demic
institution in 1969.
[[I, ChalIe..(e of Personalism
Even more pertinent than our
institutional identity crisis is
the crisis that has arisen be­cause
of a drastic change in the
philosophy of life of those the
university primarily serves _
its students. These young men
who come to this school to
learn happen to have come
along at a time when social
change and confusion have re­placed
structural stability and
unquesUonlng faith. They des­perately
want to know who we
are - and who they are. They
are earnestly s~king a set of
values In life - and just as
noisily rejecting the ones we
are proposing for them.
Most important, their basic
approach to reality has shifted
from a conceptual to a person·
allst emphasis - with tremend­ous
consequences for both
learning and teaching. Their
personalist philosophy of life
centers not on the accuracy of
definition but on the intensitY of
experience. It is rooted in feel­ings,
not in ideas: "I feel, there_
fore, I am." It seeks freedom,
not order: "Everyone should be
free to do his own thing." It
describes the world not In
tenns of words. structures or
speeies ,but rather in shades of
li&:ht, actions and litUJ'Eies. It
Is a world of the speciftc, con­crete,
personal event, not of the
general, detached, natural cate­gory.
It is fired with idealism
but fogged with romanticism.
It has the capacity to turn a
blinding light on external prob­lems
of the world but is equal­ly
capable of "turning ofr" all
objective reality tor the world
of the psychedelic. In a c0n­fused
fnstitudonal setlin&: it
makes the student much more
of a risk. But also much more
ot a promise. It makes It more
important for the Individual to
flnd himself: It makes it impel'.
atlve for the sehool to adjust
Its approach.
IV ChaUeap of De\'eIopmeat of
StDd_ta
Our Identity crisis, however,
is not limited to our insdtuUon­al
or individual existences. It
spreads over what we are doing
as well as what we are. It
touches not only the problem of
Idendty but also the psychology
of acdolL
The fundamental task of the
unlversity.is to teach the truth.
The AAUP Statement on Pre­fesslonal
Ethics sums it up
neatly by stating: ''The teach­er's
primary responsibility to
his subject Is to seek and state
the truth as he sees It." But
the truth is presented to some­one
and shared with someone.
The subject, as well as the ob­ject,
of teaching Is the student.
The university therefore must
be primarily committed to "the
development ot the creative in·
tellectual potential of Its stu­dents
.. by providlne a re­spect
for truth as the driving
force of Its community." (State­ment
of Objectives, 1969 cata·
log, FairfIeld University, p. 51
This balancing of commit­ment
to subject and to student
always creates tension. To de­ny
this Is to undercut reality
through overslmpllftcadon. To
swing totally In either direction
Is to Invite disaster - either
for the learner or the teacher.
But certainly the emphasis de­manded
today must be In favor
of the student as to a detached
devotion to the subject.
A school which calls Itself
liberal and humanistic has a
special reason tor focusing on
the personal human develop­ment
of each of its students.
Otherwise It would attempt to
accomplish thf'OlJP its curricu­lum
what it would deny through
Its environment. A school which
patterns Itself on the Jesuit
tradlttt>n of "personal concern"
for Its students has a further
motive for carrying out Its edu­cadonal
task with a strong orl·
entation to student welfare and
gro'>Vth. A school which recog­nizes
the overpowering psy­chological
need of students fOl
both identity and intimacy in
a COl:""sed and cold world will
have to shift its emphasis from
discipline to development both
In and outside of the classroom.
If academic life shifts from
exclusive interest in subject
matter to subject learner, ma­jor
consequences of relevancy,
adaptability and availability will
have to be explored.
Tbe Art of Rele,'aacy. Adapta·
blllty. AvallablUty
Relevancy has been so com­merdalized
by current usage
dishonesty that It has been
drained of significance. Never­theless
it has still a stron&' core
of meaning, If not of militancy,
for the modem school. In both
method and content the univer­sity
class must be more rele­vant,
not only to modem social
needs, but to the deepest per­sonal
and spiritual needs of In.
dlvldual man.
Tbe joint Statement of the
Association of Governing Boards
and the AAUP points out that
"the faculty has primary re­sponsibility
for curriculum. su~
ject matter and methods of in­struction,
research, faculty stat­us
and those aspects of student
life which relate to the educa­tional
process." Much stress has
been placed on curriculum de­velopment
recently. But too
little stress has been placed on
those aspeca of student life
which dec! educadon. Too little
time has been given to the ex­ploration
of new method$ of In.
struction, including new dla·
logue techniques, the use of
technological aids, and the In.
corporation of activities out­side
the classroom itself. Al­most
nothing has been touched
in the area of improving ~
room teachlne effectiveness
throuljth scientific evaluation and
the adjusting of economic re­wards
for the ljtood teacher. The
structures of university organi­zation,
especially the depart­mental
s)'stem as the "major"
program of studies needs re­examination
not only In terms
of relevance to modem needs
but In terms of responsiveness
to modem problems. The allo­cation
of the time and effort
of teachers themselves needs
reappraisal in the light of the
increasing clamor of students
for greater availabliltY of their
teachers outside the class.
When we bea;in to think.
therefore of what we are doing
in the university today it raises
more questions than anawers.
We have to find out not only
who we are but how we should
do our work.
v. Cba1Ieace of CltluoaJUp
The primary concem of the
university this year, however.
centers around neither person..
al idendty nor professional dis­cipline
questions. The number
one problem Is clfu:enship. Our
major challenge Is to develop
the art or academic cifu:enship
In all members of the university
community. What we have lana:
taken for ljtf"8J1ted has melted
away under the confrontations
and confusions of the past. Now
it must be deliberately and pain­fully
reestablished. The frag­mentation
of Individual view·
points and the onrushing
change of university life have
left us not so much without a
philosophy as without a declared
community of Interests. 'ne
laree majority of people on this
campus desire a good and a;row­ing
university. But there are
hundreds of vocal and silent per­ceptions
which see the achiev­ing
or this eGaI In completely
dlve~ent terms. Only through
acts of citizenship can Indlvldu·
aI Perception be moulded into a
community.
The first challenge of aca­demic
citizenship Is govern­ance,
the ordering and direction
of the university to achieve its
objectives of seeking truth and
developinljt the potentials of Its
students. Prerequisite to this
challenge is, of course, Insist­ence
on institutional autonomy
as well as the academic freed­om
to teach and learn. No out­side
P'Oup or individual. no priv­ate
orpnization or government
should be able to dictate the di­rection
of a university. The re­ligious
commitment of the unl-.
verslty may determine the
areas of concern in which the
university operates but It In no
way can restrict the institution­al
freedom to act according to
la own internal norms nor can
it impinge on the complete free­dom
to teach or to learn. We
are a Catholic universIty, not
because religious commitm.ent
overrides educational stand­ards
but because that com­mitment
gives compass and
mere' to those standards. Our
conun!tment represents a m0­dality
of education, not a subtti­tute
tor It.
Self eoverance is a burden as
well as an opportunity. It de­mands
responsibility as well as
freedom. It calls for participa­tion
as well as cheerinljt. There
is some empirical evidence and
some personal observadon that
suuests that lJQlDe are not
quite completely adapted, ready
or eager for self governance be­cause
it requires changing old
ways, modifying old structural
patterns, and, perhaps most an­noyingly,
"takil1i too much
time:' The old form of authora­tative
paternalism as a mode of
governance is dead just as the
new proposals of apathetic per­missiveness
are inadequate. A
new form must be created. The
structures of the Academic
Councll,- Administrative Board
and even Student Government
are all new and experimental.
Yet even before the experiment.
has been completed and the ink
has dried on the documents,
new proposals for Trj-Partite
structure have been seriously
suggested. Apparently even
before the Faculty Handbook is
stapled together In final form
it will have to be torn apart
for the moditl.cation if T%'i­Partite
government is to have
any real meanine. As the memo
bers of this society build a new
structure for community, one
for which there is no pre-exist­in&:
Platonic model, the chall­enee
will be to engage all as
citizens in this enterprise. Ul­timately
the effectlveneu of
structures will be based on. the
community perceptions of the
relationships underlying a uni­versity.
Whether those percep­tions
~ ever be realized
adequately' will depend on the
willingness of the citizens of
this community to erect that
structure.
VI, RupolIM or CltlJr.eaahlp
~ response to the challenres
of the identity crisis, the new
psychology of learning and the
requirements of academic citi­zenship
will, I think, determine
in large measure the qualitY of
life here at Fairfield in the
coming ye.a.r...........
The response to the idendt)'
crisis calls for recoa;n1tion of the
problem, the settmi; of stand­ards,
and the reexamination of
objectives.
It is necessary, tirst of all,
to recocnJze the deep rooted na­ture
of the phllosophy of per­sonallsm
in student relations.
If we are to prevent this per­sonalism
from melting into a
psychedelic subjectivity or
ttardening into a defensive cal­lousness,
student development
must become as much our COb­cern
as has been dlscipline ori­entatlon.
If we are not to be
slaves on the one hand to "pub­l.
i$h or perish" we must be
careful, on the other ,to avoid
satisfaction wIth mediocre
teachll\& performance. The Im­provement
of the larter Is the
best antidote for overemphasis
on the former. Further. we
must insist rigorously On c0n­tinued
Intellectual competence
and Improving academic stand­ards
from our students. They
must be taught carefully the
norms of Inquiry, the methods
for teaching claims of know­Idege,
the ethics of using knoW­ledge,
the art of dialogue and
the necessity of preparation.
There should be not only meaD-'
tneful \YOrk to do, but also in­sistence
on its compledon. Fino­ally
personalism should color
the manner In which we open
up for investiaatlon a reexam­ination
of our objectives. While
personalism does not focus on
the nature of thinp It does In
some way depend on that na­ture.
What a university Is will
pretty much determine what it
tries to do. But If there is no
ready made model - at Har­vard,
Yale or In heaven - it
can only be through wide par.
ticipatlon of all "citizens" in the
comunlty, critical reflection and
much individual meditadon,
that we can create for our­selves
a working model of a
unlvenlty In the 20th century.
A continuing reflection on what
we are will help us to determine
who we are.
PsycboJocy 01 LeanlbI&"
The response to the new PIY­chology
of learning with Its
emphasis on student develo~
ment has &:Teat implications for
the content and method of our
courses, for the adaptability of
our academic structures and for
ttie role of our professors.
A eourse becomes relevant
not by waterin& It down nor
even by changing its content.
1bere is no evidence that stu·
dents would learn more about
the history of revolution by
studylne: Chicago In 1968 rather
than Paris in 1789. But It does
mean relating our subject mat­ter
to need across the high
bridge of professional compe.­tence
and an understanding of
current student interests as well
as past course realities. It doea
imply involving students more
actively in the course and the
recognition of the student,
rather than the discipline, as the
integrating factor of learning.
It may mean less publication
but certainly not less research.
It may require less talking but

20,000 Leagues Under
The Legitlature
The foremost and blatant weatpOlnt of put Student Govem-.
mentl.t Fairfield has always been an inept and inefficient Legislature.
Unfortunately. Jast week's opening session for the fan tenn was no
exception. It is vital to any governmental operation that it poaseaa a
.trong and knowledgeable legillative branch. As these two conditions
have never borne fruit in the Put. those memben of the Student A..
aoeiation who comprise the Legislature rapidly lose interest and
quickly become disgusted and bored with endless and trivial debates,
problems in achieving a quorum and a laek of meaningful results.
We feel that thiI problem can easily be rectified. One item should
be implemented immediately: new legialative members., especially
Freshmen. should have ample time prior to their first official meeting
to study Parliamentary procedure instead of being handed a book of
Robert's Rules minutes before they are expected to participate in de-­cisions
of the Legislature. This can easily be effected .. Mr. Kariani
possesses copies penned himself on the essentials of Parliamentary
rule. To distribute these copies would require little effort.
Equally important infonnation for the new legislators to have at
their disposal is a knowledge of those people that will occupy key
positions (Majority and Minority leaders, for example) for the Legis.
lative session. In light of the fact that these nominatiolll must be
ratified by the Legislative body, it is invaluable to know what the
positions are, and who are the people ready to fill them. The eurrent
policy for these types of ratifieation, whieh take place at the opening
session, relies entirely on experienced legislators. For all praetical
purposes, these people decide who will man the leading posts in the
Legislature because the new members have no inlonnation in this
regard and therefore are incapable of speaki11& intelligently, for or
against.
If the Student Legislature is to become something other than a
bad Joke, it is imperative that these considerations be implemented.
Without them the Legislature is doomed to mediocrity and non-prod.

Club the Flame?
To the Editors of the Stal:
The subtitle ("Kill the Clubt") to
Joseph Valerio's colwnn In the OCtober
22, 1969, iasue of '1'be 8tae depend~
upon the llrIUJnents he expressed in the
last paragraph of that column. Unfo:-­tunately,
how'ever, :Mr. Valerio's argu·
ments each appear to need much JJ)Ore
substantiation and explanation than be
saw tit to give them. This reader would
like Mr. Valerio to provide 8OI1\e factual
answers to the follawtng:
1. Mr. V. stated that "The football
club at Falrtleld University is not a
profitable organization." Is thill truet It
11 my understanding that the club will
be self-sufficient this year. Need a club
be "protitable" or Is It enough that it
break even tlnanciaUy'!' In any event, If
the expenses of the club are not borne
by the University or by the students, of
what relevance Is it, even were the club
bOt to be profttablet Under this Upe1:t
of tlnanclal protltabllity, how many other
student clubs or groups have made
money?
2. :Mr. V. then argues: "Losers are
not supportable, especially at FairlIeld
University ..." Does :Mr. V. mean
supportable tlnancially'!' U be does, and
the club II to be seU.sWrlcient this year.
then this Is a mis.atatement of fact. Or
does he mean supportable by fans t In
this case he would be implying that the
students of Fairfield UnJverslty will en­thuse
only over winning teams, an opln­ion
that discredits both the athletes wbo
live of their time and talent to repre.
sent Fairfteld in intercollegiate competi­tion
and the student body which Is pre­sented
as needing winning teams to satis­fy
their hungry egos. In view of lb.
reallmpltcatlon the added phraae "espe.
clally at Falrtleld University" certainly
needs explanation: why Is It "MpeclaUy
at FalrlIeld" that losers are not 8UPPOrt.
able?
3. Further on in the ~ph he
£ales: "It would be very selftsh for the
club to exist for approximately 100 ~
pie in a university of 1,600." My bnJne.
diate reaction to this is to ask: Are
there not a number of clubs which exist
at Fairfield University for a fal' smaJler
percentage of the students than the 6~
he concedes for the football club?
4.. Mr. Valerio's last argument Is that
"No one goes to the away games." '!be
looa game Is the only one to which I
can witness, but It is a gI"OSS exagge....
tlon to speak of the people who attended
that game as "no one." On the basis of
a lack of fan support fir. away games,
Mr. V. mJlht just as well disband the
eross-country, soccer, baseball, hockey,
track, tennl8 and golf teams. (Come to
think of It, these teams don't seem to
get much fan support for home games,
either.)
The subtfUe to Mr. V.'s column ap­peared
to be deliberately provocative.
Th1s reader doesn't think his hasty at­sertions
provided a basI! for it. The:-e
was no more basI! for that than there
would be for entitling thIs letter ''KIll
Jc:.epb Valerio'!'''.

WOODROW WILSON
NOMINEES
The largest number of seniors
ever to be nominated for Wood­row
Wilson Fellowships in
Fairfield'. history has just been
announced by Dr. Gerald B.
McDonald, chairman of the
Graduate Students Committee.
Out of 22 seniors recommended
to the Committee 13 have ftnally
been nominated by the committ­ee
to the Foundation In New
York.
The names of this year'1
Woodrow Wilson nominees are:
S. Bucma, R. Dolan, History;
M. Govoni, M. Looney, R. SII·
lery, T. Merrill, English; J.
Kezel, B. Brady, R. Belletzkle,
C1assics; R. Johnson, Psychol~
groups and to the oommunity
as a whole, not as lmpositlons
from above but as seeds grow­Ing
from within. Sometimes
they may be popuiar; but they
may also sometimes be inde­pendent
of campus opinion. In
either case they make up the
campus splrlt and philosophy
and determine what the Insti­tution
will be in reality. Fr.
Ratterman's focus Is on the pn>
cess of consensus working
through the double level of
generation and dissemination.
It is a model, not a blueprint.
It has its own set of assum~
tions and Is by no means a
panacea. But It is a new In­sight
and it does otrer a sug·
gestion for outmoded existing
processes today.
U the mode of oonseDSUS Is
at all valid it will demand that
members of the academic com­munity
learn the art of formin&:
consensus, through reflection,
dialogue and. partiicpatlon. It
will require that the members
will be motivated to take part
in the process. It may even re­quire
new structures to make
the Institution responsive to the
new way of acq. We may
lind that the time-honored large
and infrequent mee~, with its
tendency to political balloting
and tiring mechanics, may be
passe. We may find that we
will have to create new media

Speech
need to be an articulate citizen_
We must learn the art of eom-'
munieation and exercise its
forms in small meetin&:s and
la.rge, formal ~ps and lnIorm­al
sessions. Literally - and a~
proprlately - this university
must talk its way into the 21st
century.
A corollary of articulateness
is participation. It Is important
to participate in faculty meet­!
np and voting. When a facW­ty
meeting cannot meet the roe­quiremets
of a quorum and a
faculty rank and tenure com­mittee
cannot be filled because
of lack of ballots, then we must
searCh both for new ways to
communicate and new motives
for joining In. When some are
afraid to speak or deliberately
conceal their feelings, it Is
time Cor all to examine the sur­roundings
that will make dia­logue
possible again.
A second corollary Is a deter­mined
willingness to encourage
free dissent and yet find ways
to live to&:ether in unity. The
areas of disagreement are very
likely to grow larger. We must
explore, therefore, the depths of
our unity as well as the heights
of our disagreements. There is
no reason why educated men
cannot disll&l'ee in strong (and
presumably clvilized) language,
with passion but with respect.

Once having recognized the
obstacles to be removed, aca­demic
citizenship must explore
new and positive philosophies of
operation_ We need an altema·
Uve to authoritarianism as well
as pennissiveness, to dictator­ship
as well as to barbarism. We
need a greater depth of de­cision
than the mandate or the
ballot can provide. One such
alternative has been suggested:
couenlU* as a form of academ­Ic
governance. This process of
consensus has been outlined re­cently
by Fr. Patrick Ratter­man,
S.J., at the Denver Work­shop.
I highly recommend his
paper to your careful study (it
will be printed In the Jesuit
Educational Quarterly for Janu­ary
1970). I would like to para­phrase
its maln topics here.
- Fr. Ratterman borrows the
basic concept of consensus from
John Courtney Murray and.
Adolf Berle. It Is "a set of
judgments which are reached
by human reason," and fonned
through a process of human in­teraction.
The judgments are
formal and disseminated on two
levels by a process of interac­tion
of those "citizens of a com..
munity who care." At the first
level, "the wise and the hon­est",
members of the society,
usually small groups, form basic
value judgments, gain new"" in­sights

the profession to come up

even ask for the tearing down

But whatever the consequences
- and many of them are not
clear - they must be faced by
the faculty.
Faculty must not only meet
new challenges. They must also
find ways to meet old students.
Personal contact and dialogue
are essential in a climate of
personalism. The student clam..
ors for more availability of his
teachers may sometimes be
more psychological than geo­graphical.
Often the complaint
means that "the teacher Is not
Uiere when I want him" or
even more subtly, "he Is not
there to agree with me the way
I want him to." But even so,

(and sings them very well) and that is it. while those in the second category turn
the concert into a show.
Th~ Who, who gave a week
01 completely sold-out concerts
at Fillmore recently, are defin­itely
in the latter group. ~y

three rlna: circus, led by guitar­Ist
Pete Townshend and featur.
Ing drummer Keith Moon and
vocalist Roger Daltrey in su~
porting roles. These three are
constantly jumping and joking
while bassist John Entwhlstle
stays in the background sullen­ly
surveylnc the whole spec_
tacle.
In the past, the Who used to
pull these shenanlgians so that
people would come and hear
their music, because as yet they
did not hav~ a "hit record" and
their albums were generally
considered mediocre. Now that
their rock opera ''Tommy'' has
put them on a level just below
the Beatles and Stones, music
has become the lmportant part
of their act, and the fooling
around Is subordinate to It.
They opened at Fillmore by

whlle a spotlight shone on them,
an honor which I have not seen
Fillmore bestow on anyone else.
Then they did songs from their
earlier albums like "Rael," "I
Can't Reach You," ''Tattoo'' and
"Run, Run, Run."
After the. e introductory,
warm-up songs they plunged
into "Tmuny." Although it was
advertised that the entire opera
would be played, Townshend ex­plained
that when they were
ftnished reeordinj: ''Tommy''
that they had too much for one
record and not enough for two,
10 that they had to put in some
ftllers to make it into Its pres­ent
size. He said that stuff like
the Underture was "just us
jamming," while other cuts
were too complicated to per.
form live and IQIIle were ''pure
junk."
The live version of ''Tommy''
lacked the trumpets and orches­tral
eft'eets that are found on
the record, but the pure elec­tric
sound turned out to be more
excfting than the original
Townshend made his guitar
sound like a full orchestra and
Entwhlstle played a Jack Bruce­type
bass whleh sounded Uke a

the belt rock drummer who

moving with his explosive
drum rolls and Daltrey's lead
singing was excellent even
though he has been having
some throat trouble.

Fairfield expects to be much
stronger this week against
lona. For onl: thing Captain
Timmy Hill will be back in the
line-up. Fairfield was plagued
by defensive lapses against
Queens. This can be attributed
to the fact that only one healthy
starting rearguard was playing.
Coach McCarthy now plans at
move Don Boucher back to de­fense
on a line with Hill. Also
the Stags need a healthy Chuck
Frissora, who saw only limited
action Tuesday due to a back
injury. Fairfield's forwards also
must back check and close--up
the middle If they are to win.
Inexperience was a glarin&
fault with the Stags and it
should be pointed out that
Queens had already played a
game while it was Fairfield's

Looking to this week's game,
lana Is 2-0 rolling up impres­sive
wins over CCNY, 10-1, and
UB, 13-1. The Gaels are a high­scoring

should be a good test for both

Iona's 23 goals in two games

A second down roughing the
passer penalty brought the
Stags to a first down on the
eight. From there Van wasted
no time as he swept the left
side for the score. Van then ran
right and leaped between two
Friar defenders for a success_
ful two-point conversion. With
almost six minutes remaining,
the Stags trailed 20-14.
Once again, Vespla's on-side
kick failed, just barely though,
as' the ball did skip out 01
bounds avoiding the lunging
grasp of Muller. The psyched
Stag defense held the Friars
immediately, but a good Provi_
dence punt put the Stags back
on their own 10_yard line with
only four minutes left in the
game.

Unfortunately, the Friars
came with a strong pass rush.
and it forced Muller Into an in­terception.
Then, the Friar
quarterback, catching the Stag
defense sleeping for the first
time in the second half, called
a draw play on a third and 12
situation from the Stag 30_yard
line. It went for a Providence
score. It was the Friars' first
and only sizeable gain of the
half, and technically speaking,
they did not get a first down
in the second half. Now the
Friars built up an unbeatable
26-14 lead with only a minute
and a haH to go.
Van succeeded in marching
the Stags downfield to the Friar
IS-yard line. But a "no-time"
remaining desperation pass by
Van was intercepted. ending the
game as it started - with an
interception. Thus, the Stags
lost for the sixth time 26_14.

After an exchange of the

Once again the O'Toolemen

In a very exciting Intramural
football week, ND3 vanquished
the D.S.P. fraternity In a battle
of the "undefeateds" in the
American League by a score of
2_0. With the "big" game out
of the way, though, the boys
from R3 managed to pull the
upset of the year as they beat
the Beach 12-0, and threw the
National League Into disorder.
The ND3.D,S.P. game, which
was a contest for first place in
the American League, turned
out to be a dull affair, being as
many thought that the game
would be a high.-scorlng one. In­stead,
a safety registered by the
ND3 defensive line proved to
be the margin of victory for
the "Ro Ho·s". As the soore in­dicates,
the game turned into a
defensive struggle.
The D.S.P. offense, led by the
retum of their quarterback
Chuck Dombeck, was lifeless
for most of the afternoon. The

game with their backs to their

The Fairfield satter team has
had a nwnber of disappoint·
menta this season. The fortunes
of the Stags, which turned for
the better last year, seem to
have faded. Last season the soc.
cer team compiled atl.ne 7-6
won and lost record to the sur.
prise of many people. Don Me.
Inerney, senior co-captaln this
year, looks back almost in awe
at the team's '68 performance.
"The team itself did not expect
such a t1.ne year last season.
Everyone on the team was more
than satlsfled with our play. As
a result we all were looking
forward to an even finer season.
At times I thought we would
have a better record than Buzz's
(Kowaluk) predicticn of 10-4."
Don believes that the reason
the soceer team has fallen from
last year's plateau is the lack
of team unity. He feels that In­dividually
the members of the
team are better than their op­ponents.
However, the players
do not know each other enough
and as a result there Is a lack
of union in the team's move.

Another problem is the large
amount of injuries the team has
been hit wlth. Don plays half·
back usually, but due to the In­juries
he has played fullback.
Don points out that, "the team
has been in every game. We
control the ban and the action
molt of the way, but are not
capltallzlna: on the other team's
mistakes. Also, we have la.t
most of our pm.es by a goal."
Don resides in Southold. Long
Island. where he was raised.
He attended Brooklyn Prep, at
first, where he captained the
IWimmlng team and was a
member of the tennis team. The
traveling, however, from South.
old to Brooklyn was long and
difrlcult. Thus Don swltched to

..,. .I08&I'B YAI,ZII,IO -- What Price Glory
Last Saturday the Red Ruggers from :ral~eld Un!.
versity were thoroughly outplayed by an msplred Um·
versity of Villanova fifteen, 27·3. The game was a v.ery
important one for ~he Stags an~ they w:anted te~bly
to win before their Homecommg fans, but Falrfi~ld
made too many mistakes and lacked the hustle which
marks great teams. As a result of their inept play,
Fairfield suffered their fourth loss in five outings,
There are many reasons why the Stag ruggers
have compiled only a 5-4 record thi.s Fall, but none is
more important than the superlative schedule they
were forced to tackle. Yes, the Red Ruggers were
"forced" to play what many critics refer to as a suicidal
schedule. The Connecticut ruggers face a herculean
task in nearly every game. This year Fairfield played
only two "weak" teams: Old Maroon and Fordham
University. But neither one of these squads can be
tenned a pushover as both gave the Stags a strong
battle before &,oing down to defeat.
In each of the past three seasons Fairfield has set
an undefeated season as its goal. Last Spring the Stags
entered their final game with a 5-0-1 mark before being
destroyed by powerful Manhattan, 24-8. Still their
season was a great success because the Stags handed
Villanova their lone loss and downed hated-foe, George­town,
8-0. This Autumn saw a strong Stag team strug­gle
past Fordham and Westchester before entering the
Eastern College Invitational Tournament at Princeton.
In the first round Fairfield defeated the University of
Pennsylvania by the convincing score of '14·6. Penn, it
should be noted, held Villanova to a 6-6 stalemate this
Fall. Rutgers was the Sta&.s semi-final round opponent
and a strong second half enabled the Men in Red to
triumph by a 19·10 count. But by the time the Stags
reached their final round opponent, Dartmouth, they
were not the same team which faced Penn in the open­ing
round. The Stags are a small team. They have not
enjoyed a weight advantage this year and they won't
in the Spring either. The Eastern tourney wore down
the Stags and in the championship game they were
routed by the Dartmouth Indians, 17·5. Many Fairfield
players claim they could have beaten Dartmouth if
they had been at full strength. Hence, this Spring the
Stags will travel to Hanover, New Hampshire in an at­tempt
to avenge this Autumn's loss.
The Dartmouth game may have marked the begin­ning
of an era at Fairfield this year. By losing to Dart­mouth,
Fairfield suffered its first loss of the campaign
and, thus, their goal for an undefeated season was ruin·
ed. Before a big Father and Son Day crowd, Fairfield
played a lackluster game and rallied in the second half
to defeat Old Maroon. The next day, with five regulars
sidelined due to injuries incurred against Old Maroon,
the Red Ruggers were thrashed by Manhattan's Sun·
day team, 27·3. In football 27·3 is not a heartbreaking
defeat. In rugby it is total annihilation. The Stags real­ize
this and they do not accept this fact easily. Through
nine games Fairfield has been outscored by their foes
t 11-80. In their last three defeats the Stags have man­aged
only one try and nine points as compared to their
opponents incredible output of 69. The Red Ruggers
may be playing a herculean schedule, but still they are
being destroyed by their rivals.
The 1969 Fall season has one game to go with
Manhattan's touring team invading Lt. Hans Grauert
Memorial Field Saturday. The Stags will be the decided
underdog Saturday and. in all probability, their season
will end with four straight defeats and a 5-5 record.
Tom Krenn. President of the Fairfield University
Rugby Football Club, is trying to keep morale and in­terest
in the club "up" at this point, On October 27th
the ruggers held a meeting to discuss their attitude and
training. Also, they talked about their Spring trip to
Wales and London. While abroad the Red Ruggers will
play three exhibition games against the best competi­tion
in Europe. The ruggers will learn a great deal
about rugby while they are abroad. Their knowledge
of the game will increase and they will be well rested
to tackle a strong, but short, five-game schedule in the
Spring.
Fairfield is currently the number four rult'by team
in the East behind the likes of Manhattan, Old Blue
and Brown. When you are tops in ruR'by you play the
best. As a result your record may not be awe-inspiring,
but Fairfield's Red Ruggers proved themselves in the
Eastern College Invitational Tournament when, for the
most part, they were at full strength. Only Tom King,
Krenn, and Stevie Ryan have played in all the "A"
games this year. Obviously injuries have hurt the Stags.
"There is no reason to play little teams," Tom Krenn
explains. "There's more satisfaction in playing a big
team and getting your ass kicked in," There's a ereat
deal of truth in Tom Krenn's statement.

The Fairfield University Red
Ruggers lost to an inspired Vil_
lanova Rugby Club Saturday by
the unbelievable soore of 27-3
making its season's re<:ord with
one game remaining a disap­pointing
5-4. Villanova is now
4.1·1. The "B" team could only
manage a 6-6 tie in a game they
dominated and should easily
have won.
For Villanova, Fairfield is the
biggest (most) important game
of the season. They are always
"sky-high" and mentally alert
when they play Fairfield. Sat­urday
was no exception, as
their outstanding three-quarter
line oompletely dominated, out_
hit and outran the Red backs.
The Wildcat backs compensat·
ed for their weaker scrum which
was outplayed by the strong
Fairfield pack.
The first half for the most
part was slow and boring. Early
in the half neither scrum was
able to get the ball to their
backfield cleanly from either
scrum formations or line_outs.
As a result there was very lit·
tle running done by either back_
·field. After each team missed
makeable penalty kicks, the
Villanova backs started getting
the ball from their serum but
foolishly gave up the ball by
kicking. They kicked well but
fullback Jim Casey, as always,
played flawlessly and effective_
ly, stopped any Villanova of­fensive
threat from these kicks.

On a cloudy ''Homecoming''
Saturday. the Fairfield Univer~
sHy Football Club went down
to defeat for the sixth straliht
time this year and eleventh in
a row spanning the last two
seasons as they lost to 'Provi­dence
College by a 26.14 score.
The Stags, looking to upset the
favored Friars for the Injured
&b Mals and for the benefl.t
of the "Homecoming" partisan
crowd, fell short again, although
this time the contest wasn't de.
cided until the last few minutes
of the game.
As typical ot the Stags' pre.
vious five games, it was the first
quarter which hurt the Men in
Red. After an Interception by
Providence off the arm of Pete
Halas, resulting from Fairfield's
attempt at a "flea-flicker" play,
the Friars drove for a quick
score. The clincher came as
FrIar quarterback Paul Ma·
guire hit end Bill Murray in the
end zone on a 35-yard pass play.
After a Fairfield fumble be­cause
of a bad handaII', Provl.
dence once again drove to the
Stag goal line. The final play
was another Maguire pass to
Murray in the end zone _ this
time for eight yards. Thus, at
the close of the first period. the
Friars held a commanding 13.0
lead. .......... As the second quarter began,
the Stags started to show a lit­tle
life. Donnie Marshall stole
the ball away from a Provi.
dence back on the Friar 40­yard
line. Unfortunately, quar­terback
Van Muller was unable
to move the Stag offense as
Providence took over on downs.
Once again, the Rhode Island·
ers began driving, this time
using some effective off.tackle
running. But the Morlarty.led
Stag defense held on the Red
1().yard line. This got the Stags
offense going as Van Muller hit
on a few short passes and quicli
openers before the quarterback
himself swept left end on a 40.
yard gallop.
With the ball on the Provi­dence
100yard line, the Friars
held for three downs. On fourth
down in came Jimmy Vespia to
try a field goal; only It was no
field goal at all, as holder Pete
Halas got up and threw to Wil­lie
Mraz In the end zone for a
Stag score. The conversion was
blocked, and the Stags trailed
13_6 midway through the sec_
ond period.
Unfortunately, Jimmy Ves­pia's
on.side kick failed to
travel 10 yards, and Providence
took over on the Stag 4O-yard
line. It didn't take the Friars
long to take advantage of this
excellent field position, as Provi­dence
halfback Chris Marl
crashed over from the one-yard
line to put the Friars out in
front 26.6 at the haIf.
As usual, Fairfield came out
