In a recent interview. Father

that the university community
should consider communicating
not just by words but by active
work In attempting to solve Its
problems.

self-sufficient man with a better

considerations so as not to be

agent has to be confident in

to have tact and diplomacy so
as not to have tax payers say,
"Here comes that guy again."
As Mr. Harris pointed out,
a job with the Internal Reven­ue
Service involves security, but
not necessarily tremendous
growth by way of promotion
unless you are of outstanding
quality.
The Revenue agent's job, as
told by Mr. Mann, is to admin­ister
the Internal Revenue
Code. After hire, Mr. Mann re­lated,
the Revenue agent goes
through a series of thirteen
week tax courses lasting thirty­nine
weeks. During this time,
he also works with an experi­enced
agent and examines small
returns on his own.
Some of the benefits of an
agent are meeting of different
people every day, travel, start­Ing
salary low, but rapid ad­vancement
to a certain level,
plus as an agent, one is getting
his two years of experience In
for obtaining a C.P.A.
The last speaker of the pro­gram
was Mr. Fred Ford, man­ager
of Product Service Gen­eral
Accounting at General
Electric Company, Bridgeport,
Conn. Mr. Ford Is a graduate
of Becker College. He's been
with G.E. for 22 years. He is
Vice President of the Bridge­port
Chapter of NAA, and he
is involved In the Trumbull
Little League and Trumbull
YMCA.
Mr. Ford said that account·
ing is the language of business
in industry. As a manager, Mr.
Ford plans, controls, and or­ganizes.
He is also responsible
fur an appraisal of others W1­der
him. "An appraisal of an­other
Is really an appraisal of
yourself," stated Mr. Ford.
The only disadvantage In
working for a big corporation,
Mr. Ford. commented, Is that
you may get lost in the crowd.
You may start In the Cost Ac­counting
Department and stay
there the rest of your life. So
he suggested that before an
individual goes into business,
have a goal or plan, "how far
will I go In one year," and
live up to that goal.

work, management consultant
work, just to name a few. Along
with the professional develop­ment
comes personal develop­ment.
Ernst and Ernst urges
strongly that its employees get
involved in community activities
bceause, as Mr. LaMorte point­ed
out, Ernst and Ernst wants
a well-rounded personnel.
Mr. LaMorte is a prime ex­ample
to the fact that tOOay's
business world is a young man's
game. At 31 years old, he is
an executive in the New Haven
branch of Ernst and Ernst. Of
the sixty employees in his of­fice,
only six or seven are older
than he is,
Mr. C. Robert Hillman was
the second speaker. Mr. Hill­man
is a C.P.A. and partner in
the firm of :lolan, Bernstein,
Dworken, Klein, Bridgeport. Mr.
Hillman, a local proouct, gradu­ated
from Andrew Warde High
School and Franklin and Mar­shal!
College. He is a member
of the A.I.C.P.A. and the C.S.
C.P.A. He Is also the treasurer
of the Bridgeport Area C.P.A:s.
He is an active member of the
Trumbull Jaycees, the Urban
Coalition of Bridgeport, and
treasurer of his B'nai B'rith
Lodge.
Mr. Hillman's firm, though
not one of the "Big 8" has of­fikes
nationwide as well as in
Mexico and Australia. His firm
also has approximately the same
range of ellents, though not as
many, as Ernst and Ernst.
The key to public accounting,
stressed Mr. HUma'n, is being
able to communicate with the
people who are paying your
fee. When asked about salaries
Mr. Hillman commented that
it is all up to the individual.
The third speaker of the pro­gram
was Mr. Jon HarTis, As­sistant
Chief, Personnel Branch
for the Hartford District of the
Internal Revenue Service. Mr.
Harris gaduated from Cornell
University and then went to
work with the N. Y. State La·
bor Department. He came to the
international Revenue Service
in 1966 at a New York branch.
He was transferred to Hartford
as Assistant Chief in October,

if a candidate is suseeptible to
the draft and he is well quali·

fulfilled his obligation. Mr. Jon
Harris from the Internal Rev­enue
Service, not only guaran­teed
a job to a qualified candi­date,
but guaranteed a pay in­crease
upon return from the
service.
Mr. Ron LaMorte, Certified
Public Accountant and Audit
Manager at Ernst and Ernst
(a Big "8" firm) was the first
speaker. Mr. LaMorte graduat­ed
from the University of Con­necticut
in 1960. He is an ac­tive
member in the American
Institute of Certified Public Ac.
countants and the Connecticut
State Certified Public Account­ants
CSCPS. He is also an As­sociate
Professor at New Ha­ven
College. Some of his clients
include: various manufacturing
companies, banks, non profit or­ganizations,
and charitable or­ganizations.

On Wednesday, Dec. 10, the
Third Annual Accounting Car­eers
Seminar, sponsored by the
Bridgeport Chapter of the Na­tional
ASSQciation of Account­ants
and Fairfield University,
was held in the Oak Room. In
the previous two years the se­minar
was held at the Universi­ty
of Bridgeport and Sacred
Heart University. Accounting
students from Fairfield Uni­versity
of Bridgeport and Sa­cred
Heart were in attendance.
Six men from different fields
of accounting spoke to the stu­dents
about the profession of
Accounting and the opportuni­ties
available in the profession
after graduation. The six men
represent public accounting
firms, the Internal Revenue
Service, and private industry.
Each of the men spoke about
the advantages of practicing ac­counting
in his individual ca­pacity.
The fact that each
speaker tried to stress was that
grades are not the "end-all" in
applying for a job. Personality,
neatness of appearance, and
confidence In your ability are
just as important if not more
Important In obtaining a sub­stantial
offer from a company.
One of the students asked
about what effect a candidate's
draft status would have on his
getting a job. Mr. LaMorte, a
representative from a large

passed with no dissent, but
could not be made unanimous
and required two votes on
whether to have closed debate.
At first rejected 14-12, it then
passed 17-9 with three black
representatives being asked to
leave and Senator Robert Car­penter
unsuccessfully demand­ing
a roll call vote. Minority
Whip Kevin McAuliffe proposed
an extension till January of the
financial investigation of the
University, which is still in
progress; it passed without dis­sent.
And the appointments of
Attorney General Charles Eich­orn
and four new Student Court
Justices were approved without

resort" and was not deemed
necessary in this situation.
There is a strong possibility
that those who occupied Xavier
will soon be brought to the
Student Court on charges of in­fringement
on the rights of oth­er
students. Fr. McInnes com­mented
on this, saying, "I re­spect
the right of any student
to use any legal means" to rec­tify
any injustice he feels has
been done to him. If such a
trail develops, Fr. McInnes'
position will be, in his words,

Fr. Mclrmes has sent a four­page
letter to all alwnni and
the parents of all students, in
order to Inform everyone of his
position and explain the deci­sions
reached on the 21st.
When asked how seriously a

were considered during the

Mr. David Zola, director of the

which was responsive yet firm
In dealing with student activism. ""t
is why I was seriously disturbed when
I read the newspaper accounts of the

tried to restrain my tnitiaJ emotional reo­sponse
but after reading your subse­quent
double talk report my disposition
is unchanged. You speak as the apologist
for the unlawful action or the minorit:r
J'8ther than as the head of the entire
University community. It grieves me
that you have taken this road of mealy­mouthed
rapitulation.
In the future: 1) you wm receive my

to stand up to wanton attempts at in­timidation
and unlawful infringements
on the rights of the majority of students:
2) unUI that time, you (the University)

Rebuttal
December 17, I
To the Editor:
In delayed response to Dr. Grassl's
letter of Nov. 2nd, I fI.rst refer him to
my essays of Nov. 19, ('"!be Physical
University"), and today's. ('"!be Aca­demic
University"), after which I will
say this:
Dr. Grassl errs in interpreting my
commentary on the lOW" number of stu­dents
at department lectures as a "fail­ure
of the students," Quite the contrary
- as I tried to make clear even in that
sarcastic dialogue, a primary stimulant
for student interest is the academic prG­gram.
That the philosophy department
should draw such small crowds from an
undergraduate student body which is reo­quire<!
to study that discipline very ex­tensively
should lead Dr. Grassi to re­evaluate
his policies, not criticize those
who are subject to them.
I stand by the Irony of " ... our little
Fairfield special, fifteen credits In phi:os­ophy,
and twelve credits In theology." In
speaking with many students and faculty
members, I have found consistent agree­ment
with the idea that a student bene-­fits
more from a course that Interests
him, than from one that does not. yet
the myth of the quality of an academic
program In which a student can freely
choose only four courses outside of his
major field in four years at college per­sists,
enforced by a Dean who thinks
students are Incompetent to evaluate
courses they are taking, and by profN­ton
who must defend the requlrmleDts
from vested mternb.

UTTLE CHBI8........ """' ... fa a effort to bring together
I have other Ideas, but stiD only half-baked. Perhaps you are
thinking that the same could be said of those presented. Whatever
you think, let us know. Fairfield is at a critical stage In Its de­velopment
when the academic community is undergoing real
change. An exchangc of ideas could spark the reforms so badly
needed If the majority of the students are to become Involved In
earnest In their education. In the process, faculty and students
will have to assert their commitment to the primacy of education,
and can thus demand that the entire university serve that purpose.
The possible classroom applications of the term paper em­phasis
are numerous. Students could volunteer to give three to
five minute oral summaries of the progress of their work once a
month or twice a semester. In lieu of the Dnal exam, students
could submit criticisms of each other's work, being graded by the
teacher on their perception of their fellow students strengths and
wealmesses. The final view of the semester's work would emerge
as individual and mutual involvement, calibrated by the teacher
In a setting which shifts responsibility for Interest from the teacher
to the student. Thus the term paper would become a leamIng In...
volvcment, and both serve the overview.
I At the bectnnJ.nc of each semester, teaclle1"s should ~nt
thelr students with a two or three page paper surveying the course,
presenting especially some general principles upon which the
teacher's treatment is founded. Thus, aD Mure speclfies and de­taUs
a teacher may see as necessary can be viewed by the student
in a flttin&: context. The overview becomes explicit.
'rv Tests, as they are now glven, should be eliminated. In
their· place, In addition to II, I propose a real "term" paper, one
which the student conceives during the first month of the semester,
and then continues to develop throughout the remainder of the
seme~ster, In writing. The paper would include the general prin­ciple,
s of the course as related to a particular topic In which tho
8tudj~nt Is Interested.
III The required reading for a course should be three to six
books maximum. Then, the teacher could present the student
with a large bibliography, (twenty-five to litty books), from which
the student picks the books he would like to read. Naturally, the
bibliography could have subdivlsions from which the student could
only pick oro! or two books. Thus, balance Is maintained, and the
student Is allowed to pursue personal Interest at the same time.
FinaUy, the teacher should allow the student to read two to six
books of his own choosing outside of the bibliography. In sum,
readIng becomes part required, part recommended, part chosen,
n Questions from reading should be general in phraslnr,
allowing the student to relate it to the course himself, and to
brinlf In those details in the reading which he thinks are relevant.
Teachers can discourage bulJ..slinging by demanding a density of
detail; but again, he involves the student by letting him introduce
such detail
lfn this light educatim. is a drag. Classes are something we
go to between weekends. Term papers can be hack jabl; c:oneeived
in haste and written without interest or Insight 'Ib@ process
narrows and ultimately degrades education. To many students It
is restrIctive to whatever abilities they may have or seek to ~
veIop; to some their four year journey toward enlIghternnent be-.
COInH a long walt for a more lucrative job than a high school
diploma would have otrered.
On the other hand. the Fairfield University Faculty hal
dlosen by and large, 10 dedicate Itself to what should be the
enUre university's primary concern, the students' education. On
the grey side, detracton might argue that its choice is limited by
its vision and capability. On the brighter side, it could be Injected
that there are profeuors in many departments whose knowledge
of their tleld could win them much greater material rewards in
industry and bwineSl. In .um, the faculty's attitude and dedica­tion
is at least worthy of note. We must not yield to the pracUce
of those universities whose faculties are respected to the deg~ee
of their activity in non-teachlng areas, (research, publications, etc.>
This view discriminates against the students' education in favor
of the university's prestige.
Making impressions leads inevitably to a word despised in
academic circles as "anti-Intellectual:' relevance. Yet this word
need not be seen as an attempt to relate distant events, philos­ophies,
theories, with present day situations; rather, relevance
should mean relating study to a student's interest. It makes sense
that the more a student can become Involved, the more he will
learn and the deeper the impression that the learning will make.
You may be asking yourself "what exactly is wrong with our
present system?" Quite simply, it Is the results. Students have
difficulty In remembering the basic elements of previous courses
from one year to the next. Within a few years of graduation, the
memory of four years aDd $10,000 worth of education is imperiled
by the era.ion of time.
The worst part system is the process of mental regurgltatlm,
Teacher protest to the contrary, It remains that the student who
most accurately reetates lectures and reading gets the highest
arade. In addition, much of the testing of student knowledge Is a
demand for maddening particulars to test the depth of a student's
Itudy of a particular kdure or book. This dis~ outakle
f'@ading a .rodent mQ' wish to pursue tram personal internt. It
mcourqes Jut minute atudy bec::auIe 01. its mania far detail. 'I'bt
I proceed on these qualifications: the prorram I advocate Is
directed primarily toward the liberal arts subjects. Its effectiveness
would depend sIgnificantly on the number of students taking a
course; I don't think it would work much better than our present
system docs in classes larger than thirty students. Finally, It is
offtrered primarily for upper division courses. In short, I ask you
to envision a liberal arts course with medium to small enrollment
as a framework within which to view this teaching method.
Unfortunately, our memories are only as good as the manner
In which we acquire the knowledge we gather into them. A psy_
chologist once told me that man never "forgets" something be
bas learned, even if only In a fleeting manner; however, man's
ability to recall, meaning literally call back from the memory,
depends very much upon the Impression which the knowledge
made on the mind at the time it was acquired. Thus, an English
major might easily remember the style of Thomas Wolfe because
of the vividness of his prose.
TOWABD AN ACADEMIC COMllU!i1TY
Part n "Ibe Solutkm
Our present system of acquiring knowledge follows a general
pattern: the teacher gives a lecture, the student takes notes which
he laler studies; a teacher assigns reading material, the student
does the reading attempting to remember as much as he can of
Its contents in preparation for future testing. Because little of
what Is outside the lectures and reading is necessary to pass tests,
such added interests as the student might wish to introduce have
no purpose except to liven the lecture or hold student attention.
Such participation .Ie more tuncUonal than academic.
I reallze this view of the faculty is debatable, and I Invite
divergent opinion. But It is to the Interrelatioll.llhip of the faculty
and students that I tUrTI in my closing effort toward an academic
community.

In conclusion, I can only ask that
Dr. Grassi apply those same principles
of logic which he says are lacking in my
colwnn. At the end of his letter he cites
the recognition his department won from
a member of the Phnosophy Department
at Manhattanvllle, where I sent my hy­pothetical
female applicant. Whatever
does the quality of his department have
to do with the very high number of re­quirements
and narrow range in cleo­tives
in the liberal arb program at Fair­field!
Dr, Grassl is only making hJm­self
vulnerable to an interesting point:

it attract students on Its own merits,

We think this Christmas you are probably sick of Christmas
messages. We think you are also probably very sick of us. The reac~
tions we evoke in many people - fear, dismay, disgust, contempt,
and repulsion for a few - make us unlikely candidates to suddenly
talk about a love it seems we fail to feel, a hope it seems we do not
hold, a charity it seems we never practice.
But there is a lesson in Christmas for us all. Through the birth
of one man, the idea of brotherhood and the message of compassion
reached human ears and opened human minds for the first time, and
we will all never be quite the same again. It hardly matters that the
world is still a haven of misery and complaint. as if he had never
been here. The fact that we recognize misery and complaint for what
they are, and sense the irony of celebrating an event like Christmas
in a year like 1969 is proof that his birth is worth celebrating. Some
go beyond brotherhood and compassion to worship, relying on a tonic
for life in the assumption that this man was fathered by God, born
of a virgin, risen from the dead, looser of the gates of heaven and
given the qualities of everlasting life in the form of a wafer. Perhaps.
But surely we can all see that nothing is permanent. If a Jesus Christ
can live and thrive among us, anything can happen. To be alive is to
change, to rejuvenate, to remake oneself and renew life itself.
Chrisbnas is the day set aside from each bitter year to wipe mil"
Slate clean. t1tart afresh, and plan to ma}re next year leM Ulllluppy and
frustrating than we know it will be. Of course, it is probably all a
farce - few among us really expect to rise from the dead. But life
will change and be reshapen, as surely as there will be a Christmas
1970. And the eternal goals he broadcast will remain, if beyond our
reach, within our imagination:
Peace on earth. Goodwill toward men.
Our Christmas List
.For our Christmas present we give WVOF the revenue saved by
the Issue \\-e were scheduled to put out in January. We bball print
again in February, 1970 under a new editorial board. Merry Christ­mas
and a Happy New Year to all.
At the last faculty meeting, the remaining challenges to the
qo:e Curriculum were dispensed with. Now, some form of retroac­tivIty
needs to be enacted. We urge the general faculty to enact im~
mediate retroactivity in all disciplines for all undergraduates. If they
do not. we ask the department heads to do the same. If they do not,
we ~sk the .Studen~ Government to intervene. It is not enough to
admit a curncuJum IS outdated when one can save students still here
from the onerous - and in terms of graduate study, very dangerous
- burden of learning under it.
At the last legislature meeting, a statute of limitations was put
on social infractions. We have praise for this move. It removes the
abuse, real or possible, of permanent jeopardy, will aid the Dorm.
Councils in shaping up, and generally aids the concept of student
sovereignty at a time when it needs to be used as a viable argument
to abolish the parietal book.

PETER MARTIN '71
The lottery system is an im­provement
only in that it re­moves
the unct'rtalnty for those
already eligible
for the draft. It
does noth1nj: to
remove the in­equIty
of tbe
defennent sys­tem
which de­cides
who will
be e~ble. The present policy
of granting deferments to col.
lege students protects the mid­dle
class from conscription,
while calling an undue propor-­tion
of those who are poor or
black.
The proposal for a volunteer
army In peact'time does not rem­edy
this situation. Only a very
few men are drafted in times
of peace. The critical question
is where the large masses need·
cd to flght a war will come
from. The government has yet
to show any serious Intention of
reforming this unfair aspect of
the system.
Actually, no solution can be
successful unless it deals with
the draft as a part of American
foreign policy In general. As
long as the government attempts
to support Its empire with mili­tary
force, the result will be
dissension at home and disaster
abroad.
The real answer is for the
United States to stop interfering
in the internal affairs of other
nations. Then a draft would be
'unnecessary.

In this week's big Intramural

from N03 solidly whipped
Fairfield Beach by a 7~
score. By using a fast-break­ing
offense and. controlling the
boards, the "Ro-Ho's" turned
an otherwise close game Into a
rout during the second half. The
Beach traDed by only a 24-19
count at the half.
The Beach stayed close dur­Ing
the first 25 minutes. The
"Beaudreault Men" played de­liberately,
and the shooting of
Jim Fitzpatrick and the re­bou~
of Ben Hammerback­er
and "Fast Edgar" kept the

SPORTS PERSONALITY THE FLAME
Determination
James Lynam Praised
Mark Frazer and Frank Magaletta both started
with Gibbons on last year's disappointing 10-16 team
and they think that the reason for the Stags sudden
surge is pride. "We're playing in a better frame of
mind," the lanky Frazer said. "We're playing with
more pride." Magaletta, the Stags high scoring c04
captain agrees with Frazer's analysis. "We're able to
communicate with each other. We really realize how
good we are now. The Coach has been telling us that
if we keep playing like this we can play with any
team on our schedule."
. Fairfield'~ ~agers have only played five games
t~IS year and It IS true that they have only Won three
bmes. But when one realizes that the Stags have re­bounded
from a disastrous start and bounced back on
the. roa~, optimism is plausible. This winter Fairfield
Um.versIty ba~k.etball followers will have the oppor­tumty
and prIvilege of watching 12 players work for
one common goal - a winning season. The strongest
f~ature of the Stag cagers so far has been their tena­CIOUS
defense and you don't need great talent to be a
stellar defensive player. Defense is desire. Jim Lynam's
Stags are loaded with desire and this winter should be
a most memorable one for basketball fans at this New
England College.
James Lynam, though, really deserves a great
deal of the credit for the basketball program here this
year. Lynam is a man who has seen the Admissions
Office reject a great prospect who finally elected to go

Now what is one to make of this Fairfield Univer­sity
basketball team? They open the season at home
playing what was supposed to be the weakest team on
their schedule and not only did they lose, but they
never led in the game. Two nights later they blew &
nine-point lead against the University of Connecticut
and lost by one point, despite the fact that Wayne
Gibbons, their flashy guard, scored 36 markers.
Victory Over Boston College Crucial
So Fairfield was 0-2 and they had to go up to
Chestnut Hill and play Boston College, a team they
hadn't beaten since 1965. But against BC the Stags
played the kind of game their coach, James Lynam,
had told them were capable of playing. BC fell, 74-69,
and the Stags were on their way. When they defeated
the Petreans last weekend they hiked their won-lost
record to 3-2. Now they have momentum and above all
confidence. Each Fairfield performer believes in him­self
and his teammates. The StaJ/:s are no longer a
group of individuals out for their own personal glory,
They are a team in the fullest sense of that word. "This
is a team effort now, contrary to the other years," ex­plained
Wayne Gibbons, the Stags top scorer in every
game this year. Gibbons is right. Fairfield's Stags are
as unselfish a bunch of athletes as one is likely to see.
While Good was scoring his 14 points against St.
Peter's, his substitute, Rich Schonbeck was cheering
him. All the players are out for each other. They are
a unified force. They are one, a team.
There was less than a minute left in the game. Art
Good was at the foul line and most of the crowd of
4,000 partisan St, Peter's College fans had long since
departed out into the cold December Dig.ht. The buzzer
sounded and four substitutes entered the game. Good
calmly sank both foul shots and the buzzer sounded
again. Good left the game and for the first time in his
college career he was mobbed, really mobbed, by both
his teammates and Stag fans. Art Good was very happy
because his team won 71-58.

High School Superstar
At Maloney High School in
Meriden, Jim played basketball,
baseball and football. In his
senior year Hessel averaged 24
points per game. Fairfield had
one of its strongest team in
the school's history prior to
Hessel's freshman year. The
fact that Fairfield's 19-5 rec­ord
was compiled against very
respectable college teams was
a strong force In Jim's choice
of attending Fairfield.
I said to Jim that, "y{lU and
the team were really psyched
Saturday night." His reply pOr­trayed
Jim Hessel as he really
is. "I'm psyched for every
game." Jim doesn't need any­thing
extra to get himself up
for a game. He treats his op­ponents
the same---he wants to
beat them all. "I got a lot of
satisfaction from beating Bos­ton
College and St. Peter's be­cause
It was the first time
we beat them while I was
here." Thus, QUickly part of
Jim's pre-season wish of beat·
lng the 16 teams that the Stags
lost to last year Is coming true.
Jim Is majoring in Econom­ics.
At the present time he Is
unsure of his plans for the
future. One desire he has Is
to obtain a job where he would
be traveling to different places,
At the same time, Jim would
like to remain in sports in

which really lifted the team.
Also, Jim is a tough man on
defense and seldom gives
ground to anyone. Jim Is truly
a team man. He Is always look­ing
for some way to help the
team. Everybody likes to score,
but Hessel Is more concerned
with victory and the overall
performance of the team. If
he is having a cold night from
the floor, he quickly realizes
this and will sacrifice his of­renslve

"Sam and Jimmy made

"We have a lot of confidence
in ourselves now. It's a great
team ettort. We are all play_
ing together. The team's atti­tude
has changed, every time
we have a game we believe
that we are going to play well."
These words spoken by Jim
Hessel, are a true description
of the new attitude enveloping
the Fairfield University basket­ball
team. One of the reasons
for this belief in each other
arises from the attitude of Jim
Hessel, on and oft the court.
The Meriden, Conn. resident
makes his presence known in
a quiet fashion. Jim was elec­ted
oo-captain with Frank Ma­galetta
tor the 1969-70 basket­ball
season. looking back on
last year in retrospect it was
a very disappointing season.
''This season's team has ba­sically
the same talent as last
year's. For some reason we
were playing halt-heartedly. We
just didn't seem to be putting
out 100%. This year the team
is determined to have a good
year. This year it moves me
to play. We are more organ­ized
and all the members on
the team are trying to attain
perfection."
''The word "perfection" is
synonymous with Jim Hessel.
Surely Jim would love to start,
but he realizes the role he
has in Coach Lynam's plans.
The sixth man in basketball is
otten overlooked. The fan in
the stands frequently is under
the misconception that the best
five on a basketball team are
the five starters. The sign of
a good basketball team is its
bench. Jim Hessel is a very
important part of the Fairfield
bench.
Sharp Outside Shooter
Hessel is an excellent outside
shooter and is better as he
shoots from further and further
out. He has broken up many
games in his three year var­sity
career. An example of his
clutch perfonnances was in
Jim's sophomore year against
the University of Bridgeport.
With about two minutes left
he came ott the bench with
the Stags down by six. Hessel
immediately hit on a jumper.
It gave the team a big lift as
they fought back to win.
Many people often forget
about a player's passing ability
and his defense. In Saturday
night's game the 6' 3" swing

The primary reason for the

has told his players a1nce
his opening practice that they
are capable of playing w1nnlng
ball, but his players didn't jell
until the upset victory over B0s.­ton
College. Since that game the
Stags have played rugged de­fense
and functioned as a CO~
plete team. This was illustrated
in the St, Peter's game when
the Jesuit eagers placed four
players in double figures while
the team only totaled 71 points.
Another factor in Fairfield'.
surge has been the Improve­ment
of sophomore Bob Kelly.
Kelly played less than adm1r·
ably in the openlni defeats. but
now he has regained his 0Q00
