President brought up the sub­ject
at the February 12 meet­ing
at which time Mr. Kevin
McAuliffe volunteered the in­formation
that he had discussed
the finances of the University
with the Student Goverrunent
President and had told that the
committee had approved a $300
increase. This statement was

This scale would a1!ect the en­tire

accepted this proposal, although
no formal vote was taken.
The fourth and most recent
session held on February 12,
1970 brought the ronJlJcts re­lulting
in the abondonment of
the student postl on the Budget
Committee. Fr. Mclnnes
charged that Mr. McAuliffe and
Mr. Keilty had leaked the news
of the tuition hike In advance,
thus undermining the trust
placed In them. Both students
denied this as absurd, ocmtend­ing
that they had performed
the task requested or them by
Fr. McInnes, aM had In fact
been careful nc,t to leak any
private InfonnAtion to the pub­lic
or to the Student Govern­ment.
Fr. McInneJ accused
them of breach of faIth be­cause
Dennis Galqher, cur­rently
a candidate for Student
Government President, had used
the information about the tui­tion

Fr. McInnes added that

Gallagher Publication
The controversy arose when
on February 8 presidential can­didate
Dennis Gallagher pub­lished
a campaign flyer carry·
ing the statement that "Based
on figures for next year as
agreed upon by the University
committee on finance, the total
cost of going to Fairfield will
rise $300 next year . . ." This
statement, isSued before the
proposed increase had been
voted on by the Board of Trus-
MeAullffe and Keilty, the other
members of the committee are:
Dr. John 'Barone, Vice-Presi­dent
of Plannin&, Mr. John
Hickson, Director of Operations,
Mr. Leo O'Connor, professor of
English, aDd Dr. John Klimas,

The inital meetin& of the
committee was held January 6,
1970. The first item ot business
taken up was an aareement that
no figures or written docwnents
would be made publ1c know­ledge.
At this outset, the com­mittee
considered Academics,
Student Services, Security and
Maintenance, and Financial Ald.
At the second sessions on
January 21, 1970, held In ab­sence
of Mr. Kellty, the com·
mittee was Informed that an
increase in room and board
from $1000 to $1200 per year
was goina: to be announced for
197(}.71. This money has al­ready
been listed as Income for
next year; the committee was
asked to ratify this lnerease. It
was also agreed that the tui­tion
would be raised from $1600
to $1800 for 197(}'7l.Mr. Mc­Auliffe
sugaelted that upper
classmen be excluded from the
tuition increase, and that the
incoming class of 1974 be given
a tuition bill of $3lOO per
annum. At thls time the com­mittee
ratified the Increase In
room and board, although no
forma: vote was taken. Fr Mc­Innes
'!Iuggested that Mr. Me­Aulifte
and Mr. Keilty souml out
student opinion on the tuition
raise before any definitive
action was taken.
The third session on Febru­ary

from Mr. MeAullUe: that

Finally, there was a short
Question and answer period. In
reply to one Question, Mr.
Brown conunented on the legacy
of the last decade. He said that
there wu not too much hope
after "a <:Iecade that began with
the election of John Kennedy
and ended with the wedding of

hope for "long term social

During a recent interview
Father William McInnes, S.J.,
University President, maintain­ed
that the resignations of
Kevin McAuliffe '71 and Greg­ory
Keilty '72 from the Univer­sity
Budget Committee resulted
from their unwillingness to ac­eept
the committee's conditions
of protocol which prohibit any
member from reporting the de­cisions
of the committee at his
own discretion, without author­ization.
The University head stated
that due to this disagreement
both students chose to resign
from the eomrnittee and that

Health, Education, and Welfare
Bill, Brown interpreted Presi­dent
Nixon's veto of it as an
Indlcbnent of "sick people, old
people, black people, and kids"
as major causes of Inflation.
He accused the A.B.M. system
of being "a conscious effort to

President's most recent nominee

The last part of Brown'l
speech was devoted to the en­dorsement
of Joe Duffey, a C0n­necticut
Democrat running for
the United States senate. Brief­ly,
Duffey is a liberal who
stands for the causes of the
working man, he greatly op­poses
Inflation, and he advo­cates
a rapid withdrawal from
Vietnam. According to Sam
Brown, "Senator Dodd is a
paranoid leftover from the SO's."
Brown went on to say that "We
have to find men who have a
different view of what the world
·is about." Brown felt that Joe
Duffey would be the better man
for the position..
According to Mr. Brown, "If
Joe can get a primary, he can
do very well in this state." He
stressed that Duffey is a man
who is "emphatic on a personal
basis" and '1Iberal . . .but
hwnanltarian." He then asked

On Friday 13 in Gonzago Auditorium, Sam Brown. the founder and leader of the National Mo!'a­torlum
Committee, gave a short delivery on his committee's strategy to utilize the Issue of Inflation
as a possible means for the eventual end of Arne rican involvement In Vietnam.
New App~
In the reeent past, Mr.
Brown's chief vehicle for anti­war
sentiment In thiS country
has been the organization of na­tion-
wide mass protest. On each,
occasion of this type of protest,
the main thrust of opposition
has been directed solely at the
fact of the war In Vietnam, and
immediate withdrawal from the
war has been emphatically de­manded.
In his speech on Fri­day,
however, Mr. Brown pre­sented
the possibility of a dif­ferent,
more practical, and in­direct
approach to the present
problem In Vietnam and to the
treabnent of this problem in
Washington.
He claimed that inflation Is
a prime issue In this nat\on that
invariably affeets everyone. In
addition, Mr. Brown cited the
war effort as a substantial cause
of innatlon. He felt that if the
war issue could be carried to
the people In view of its inna­tlonary
tendencies, the drastic
Immediacy of the Vietnam War
would be realized to a fuller
extent by a greater number of
Americans. A widespread l"C­sentment
against Inflation would
then create an outlet for "an
attack In a real and funda­mental
way on military spend­ing
in this country."

Brown also expressed dissatis­faction
with President Nixon in
his handling of certain crucial
issues. On Innatlon In general,

Financial Variety
By JACK. COUTUIlI:
"Our common goal is to end
complacency and to act. It is
not enollgh merely to discuss
the facts that man Is destroying
his natural environment. We
must challenge pollution by
taking political action against
goverrunental mismanagement
and private offenders."
These words In effect consti­tute
the bat1le-cry of a group
of people who make up the·
Fairfield County Citizens for En­vironmental
control (FCCEC).
Last Wednesday evening, at the
Sacred Heart University· Audi­torium,
the organizers of the
group presented their aims and
schedule of forthcomlng events
to a disappointing crowd of ap­proximately
one hundred.
FCCEC ~airman, Mr. Syd­ney
Evans of Bridgeport, cited
the origin of ~ organization as
people seeking out each other
because of a problem afflirong
all bf us. It has been in exis­tence
eight weeks and hopes to
grow and get everybody In­volved.
Mr. Jack McCarthy, head of
th(! Local Anti-Air Pollution
Ccmmittee, in discussing pl"O&­lerns
presented by local power
companies noted, "We are pro­ducing
ourselves Into destrut!­tion.
We need self-determination
to what we really want in life;
more garbage or less; more
waste or less; more clean water
or less."
The FCCEC started out con·
cerned with the Bridgeport area
and its problems, but people
from numerous other towns
have been alfected by the in­dustrial
centers ot Stamford,
Norwalk, Bridgeport, and NlJW
Haven. In Fairfield County
marshes, streams, and lakes
have been contaminated.

on the agenda. He began with
a summary of the wide variety
of financial careen that one Is
open to. These careers r8Ili:ed
from the traditional cost at!­counting,
to the more modem
data processing or market ac­CQUIlUng.
He stated that al­though
a business background
puts a person. one step ahead In
finance one's background is not
a hindrance. Mr. Ouistenson
discussed the General Electric
3 year financial management
program and how it gives you
a feel for a variety of jobs to
help the person in his final se­lection.
In resume Mr. Christen­son
showed industrial finance
only a step to the many execu­tive
jobs In an industry.
Mr. Robert Gillette of Aeb1a
Life stressed the need tor traJn..
e<! men in determining the in­vestments
of an insurance com­pany.
He pointed out that an
MBA was necessary for the
people they hired. In the field
of money management of an In­surance
company the MBA Is
needed "more for dlsappllne
than talent." They need some­one
who thinks In the quantita­tive
way an MBA Is trained. In
conclusion Mr. Gillette stressed
the great change in finance and
how now It Is no longer where
you went to school but what
)'OlIn know.
The final speaker was Mr.
Tyler Baldwin. He, as did the
previous speakers, stressed the
fact that finance yields manyop­portunities
especially in banking
careers. He spoke of internal
banking _ concerned with the
flow of funds within the bank
and external banking which en­tains
contact with people in in­vesting
or borrowing. He stress­ed
that a business degree was
not necessary though helpful.
The entire program lasted tv.'O
hours. The seminar was spon­sored
by Fairfield University,
in coordination with Bridgeport

Pollution
which be depends for survival.
The pollution of our rivers and
lakes, and of the air in our
urban areas continue to acceler­ate.
The time has come for all
citizens to begin thinking about
the basic questions raised by
technological advances and en­vironmental
degradation.
We have become unwilllng
witnesses to the rapid lou of
our environment. We live with
air that is barely breathable:
we drink contaminated water;
we eat poisoned food.

We must work with organiza­tions
like the FCCEC to call
upon government at all levels
for an immediate declaration of
environmental emergency, and
ask that top priority be given to
that declaratioo.
Students of Fairfield Univer­sity
have an opportunity to
work for this cause and to see
actual results right here In the
Bridgeport area. TIle Student
Activists Movement (SAM) on

with the FCCEC this semester

and the stronger business­men
will need to be convinced
of the imminent danger ot pol­lution
as well as for the FCCEC

Guest speaker was Professor

Professor Moran explained
the biological aspects of pollu­tion.
Seventy-five per cent of
the population lives on the
coastal areas of the United
States which are also used by
industries for power, oil stor­age,
and manufacturing plants.
One example ot the adverse ef­fects
of this situation he men­tioned,
was the fact that the
waters off Bridgeport used to
abound with oysters but are
now used- as a receptacle for
sewage products. Large urban
centers on the coast never

Government President AI Mari­ani

the Executive Department on a
Student Senate resolution call­ing
for immediate rereduction
of Philosophy to 6 credits. The
faculty originally lowered the
number of philosophy credits
from fifteen. Under the 1m­passioned
leadership of the dy­namic
Dr. Grassi, PhiloIophy
Department chairman, the phD·
osophy department manuevered
enough SUpjXlrt to reverse the
earlier decision of faculty.
In response to why there was

"Untit now we stayed out of
the discussion by the faculty In
the spirit of tri-partltism. We

be enhanced by the one-to-one
relationship between project
participant and advisor.
- The imagination and In­dividuality
of the program
would be satisfying to students
now enrolled at the University
and would combat the rising
withdrawal and transfer rates.
There has arisen an objection
to the program from the posi­tion
that a college education
necessarily takes place only on
campus. Notwithstanding the
fact that this proposition in­vites
debate, It does not apply
to the proposed program. The
field location of the Independent
Study is another option for the
student; approved projects to be
done on campus would be will­ingly
accepted.
The Independent Study pro­posal
is a small proposal with
great potential. Word of the
program has spread, and its re­ception
has been thus far, posi·
tive. Will the University see its
dilemma in lime and realize the
partial solution ot'lered by the
Independent Study program?
Will the university stand flrm
In its pledge to see Fairfield
as a "progreulve Uberal Arts
college"? Will the community
strive to shoulder the responsi­bility
of tnle and lull education;
and will the student accept his
individual obligation to himself
and that commulty'!' The ques­tions
persist.
Recently recovered from the
files of the Fairfield University
Student Government were the
ruins of an organization which
underwent an abortion during
its infancy three years ago here
at Fairfield. Cause of bereave­ment
had been attributed to
lack of Interest. Today this or­ganization,
the Student Acti­vists
Movement. commonly
known as SAM, has taken fire
on the campus as the answer to
the needs of the students of
Fairfield today.
A major contributor in the
efforts for SAM's revival Is Stu­dent
Government Secretary,
John Meknlt. When asked if

interested In pe.rticlpatlng would

would be set aside between se­mesters,
or during a leave of

during the academic year along
with the normal course load,

vacation.
Credit for the projects would
be variable (from three to fif­teen)
according to the individual
case, and would be determined
jointly by the student and his
project advisor (a faculty mem­ber).
The advantages of this Inde­pendent
Studies program, in ad­dition
to those outlined before,
are many:
- An increased Christian in­volvement
- a high priority on
the educational conscience of
any Catholic university - could
be realized by certain Independ·
ent Studies projects (e.g. an on·
the-scene study of poverty in
Appalachia; .....-ork in a slum·im­proveE.
mnt group, etc.).
- The progressive, personal­ized
nature of such a program
would be attractive to prospec­tive
students.
~ Many projects would be
of direct, tri-lateral service, to
the University, to the student,
and to the community.
- "Field experience," basic
to the pian, is attractive to
most graduate schools.
- The January StUdy Month
would break the routine of the
academic year, and would Im­prove
the student attitude dur­ing
the year.
- The st\ident-faculty Inter­action
and co-operatlon would
would be works by Camus.

It has been said that before
improvements can be made
upon a system or a situation, an
Ideal must be cited as a model.
With this in mind, the Ques­tion
Is asked: What Is the uto­pian
torm of a university? An
acceptable answer might be that
it is a dynamic community
whose purpose is rooted in the
pursuit, on an individual level,
of moral ideals, and their ex­amination,
while at the same
time maintaining an attach­ment
to the world around iL If
this is Fairfield University's
goal, It would seem to be a
distant and doubtful one.
FairReld has undershot its
ideal largely by promoting sev­eral
destructive attitudes within
the community. A stifling of in­dividual
spirit or motivation
grows out of the in&lJectually
sterilizing course of exclusively
in-class education. This attitude
has worsened to the point that
learning outside a classroom is
deliberately avoided by some
students. An already tragic si­tuation
is thus heightened. and
the exchange and interaction of
Ideas - presumably the uni­versity's
highest objects - are
sacrificed. It Fairfield Is Inter·
ested in working to solve lhis
problem, if it has a desire to
avoid a repetition of last year's
record flgurc for freshmen
transfers, a proposal must be
presented.
This saving plan must be one
aimed specifically at the prob­lems
of lack ot motivation,
stifling of individuality, separa·
tion from the oIf-campus world,
and moral apathy. It must sti­mulate
a significant student in­volvement.
Exactly such a program Is the
proposed Independent Studies

We would like to take this time out
to acknowledge the usefulness of your
"Sports Persona!ity" column. It gives
us, the common students of this univer­sity,
a chance to delve deeply into the
emotions which drive the American ath­lete.
It is extremely hard to obseIVe the
sophistication and the sensitivity which
are characteristic of the average sp:>rts
personality in the apathetic and selnsh
atmosphere of this university. This can
only be brought out in black and white.
We are immensely aggravated by a stu­dent
body which refuses to recognize the
importance of big-time Intercollegiate
sports. They don't realize that this is a
very nice thing for all Jesuit institutions.
We the undersigned are a closely knit
unit of crusaders who beckon our fellow
"Stags" to join with us in distinguishing
between mediocrity and greatness. This
is the first in a series of "bon mots"
concerning aU facets of Fairfteld life.

THE STAG
Meanwhile, the events of the most
recent meeting of the Committee are
amply reported. I chose afterwards to
follow through with my planned course
of disavowal of the editorial so as to
make crystal-cleal to the community
my sincerity as a committee member.
There Is a corollary about reciprocal sin­cerity
I could mention, but I need not.

To the Editor:
It was with great Interest that I read
an article in the hk6e1d To_ CrIer,
which noted the scheduling of a s~ven
week seminar course in "Maintenance
and Management Control" at Fairfield
University. It seems hypocritical that
an Institution which not only fails to
keep sufficient hot water In the dormi­tories,
but which cannot even effectively
remove snow from the sidewalks, should
otrer a course in "Maintenance and Man­agement
Control." May I suggest that
those people In charge of maintenance
should attend this seminar. There is
always an outSide chance that they may
learn something.
A Disclaimer
To the Editor:
The lead editorial In today's issue is
not written by me, which is highly Ir­regular.
This is so for several del.cate
reasons which should be acknowledged.
At the last board meeting, my col­leagues
overrode my objectl:lns and ap­proved
an editorial on diverfuJg the S300
increase in tuitiCXI, room, and hoard ~
wards security and maintenance. My ~
jections rested on the fact that I was a
Budget Committee member _ I had ac­cess
to the documents which showed
why the increase was unavoidable and
how desperately this campus is under­protected
and gradually deteriorating,
but I was aware that as a committee
member I could accomplish reform only
through private, sensitive parleying.
Moreover, I had pledged to respect c0n­fidences
given to all of us In committee,
and this editorial would appear to viol­ate
that. My colleagues agreed to let me
write a letter such as this to sustain my
position.

This column will break with tradition. It will not call the
students apathetic, or disillusioned, or any other such name. It
will not decry a problem without offering a possible solut:on. It 15
probable it will not even criticize- Dr. Grassi. Rather, it Is assigned
the task of maintaining a reasoning point of view about life h~re
at Falrfteld, In service to the student body.
Perhaps we have all noticed that, according to our student
handbook, the search for truth is the driving force of our aca­demic
community. May One Man suggest how the community can,
together. engage In an honest search for truth?
Let us concern ourselves ftrst with facts, and then the Inter­pretation
of those facts. Sometimes we ftnd a rather st~ange
resistance to the facts. Let us therefore deftne facts simply as
"that which happens in time." It is a fact that tuition is golnll; up
at Falrfteld. It is a fact that black students took over Xavier Hall.
It Is a fact that Fairfield lost the Niagara game, 71 to 65. It Is
essential to n!COgnize facts. They are, If nothing else. a basis for
reasoning d:scussion - a reasoning disr.ussion In pursuit of truth.
Let us be careful to distlngu'sh facts from interpretation of
facts. So it was that I had a brief discussion with a student about
the Niagara game. I said I thought Falrf:eld lost because Calvin
Murphy sparked Niagara. He presented a point of view which I
had not seen: that perhaps Fairfteld. had not "~maintained its cool"
in the closing minutes. Maybe it was a combination of both, or
more factors. But we both agreed on this basic fact: Fairfield lost
the game. If I had started by saying "Fairfield won the Niagara
game," he would have called me a fool (and rightfully so), and
there would have been no discussion. I could perha~ c'te "pP~­sonal
satisfaction," or maybe even "moral victory." But that IS
laterpretatloa. It will not change the score. Anabgously, we should.
know that, In order to facilitate and clarify any discussion. let us
distinguish facts, frcm interpretation of facts.
We can challenge interpretations. but not facts. For that rea­son,
some people will try purposely to confuse their own inter­pretation
with the facts, so as to attempt to make their own inte:­pretation
unchallengeable. Let us seek an example. A student will
say: "Fairtleld is a 'lousy' school." He has merged fact and Inter­pretation,
and in so doing. has attempted to rer.der his interpreta­tion
an irrefutable fact. The fact, in that statement Is "I am un­happy
here." We can't challenge that fact; a student should know
when he himS('lf is unhappy. The iDterpretatloa In that statement
is "Fairfield is a 'lousy' school." But do you see how he has tried
to contuse us? If we challenge his interpretation. and say, "Why
is Fairneld a 'lousy' school?" he will retreat to the fact, "But
can't you see I am unhappy 1" And so discussion ends. There Is
no distinction between facts and interpre'a'ion. We canrot rea<:OIl
together, we can help neither our fellow student, nor our university.
The jY.)lnt is, that many facts must be considered (not just the
disgust of one student) before we can make a valid general inter­pretation
of whether Fairfield University is 'lousy' or ·swell' ..,
Let us suggest, then, these things.
In the spirit of the university, let us discuss, not bicker; let
us challenge, not insult.
In our discussions, let us il\rst establish thl' facts.
Let us not "absolutlze" our own interpretations (try to state
them as irrefutable fact). Rather, let us exchange our Interpn>ta­tions
with open minds, in search for truth.
In the future, this column will discuss the Interpretation of
the facts of student life here at Fairtleld This colwnn welcomes
all opportunities to broaden its scope by discussion with the stu­dent
body.

"Justice is rendering to every man what is due him."
Harold R. McKinnon
"It is contrary to justice to sell goods at a higher price than
their worth ..."
St. Thomas Aquiaa.
On Wednesday, February 4, the Board of Trustees voted to in­crease
the tuition, and room and board fees for the academic year
1970-71 by $100 and $200 respectively. Rising maintenance and
security costs were cited as a primary factor which necessitated the
increase.
We acknowledge the right of the trustees to make such an in­crease;
however, in light of the present conditions on campus we
feel an increase in room and board fees should be accompanied by a
visible improvement in the environmental living conditions within
the dorms.
Maintenance this year at Fairfield continued to be of poor
quality, if in fact a low point was not actually realized. The plight
of the dormitories, especially Loyola and Gonzaga, was one of re­peated
lack of heat, hot water, basic maintenance and repairs. The
situation is at such a serious state in Gonzaga that students were
advised by administrators that due to the lack of heat a portable
heating unit was necessary. The units, although promised, were never
provided by the University. This forced the students to secure the
heating units themselves, incurring an additional cost of heating their
own rooms over and above existing room and board rates. This situa­tion
must also be viewed in the light of an 80% cutback in maid
service this year, and the recent examples of the Maintenance De­partmtnt's
inability or perhaps unwillingness to make adequate snow
removal.
Security at Fairfield remains as nominal as ever. Repeated inci­dents
of vandalism took place. Breaking and entering, auto theft, and
incidents of burglary have occurred at a rate which does not reflect
the existence of meaningful security standards. It is a commonly ac­cepted
fact that the main ability of Fairfield's security force lies in
the dispensing of parking tickets.
It is evident that the existing conditions at Fairfield do not, in
justice, necessitate the increase in room and board costs. We believe
that it is necessary for the administration to assure boarding students
that the increase in fees will be accompanied by an increase in the
standards of living conditions on campus. This assurance must be
made visible to the students now through an improvement of security
and maintenance service for the remainder of this year.
We believe these demands are essential to any concept of justice
in this matter - a concept basic to any university which provides an
"institutional Catholic commitment as a way of life." It remains to be
seen if it is a concept basic to Fairfield.
Our Glorious Heritage,
Part Four
Continuing, by either popular demand or lack thereof, our series
of cultural exchanges, guest editorials, and other assorted inside
jokes, we offer an excerpt from the 1970 World Almanac on educa­tion
in Connecticut.
"Of 47 institutions of higher education, Yale Univ. (estab. 1701,
named 1718) is the largest privately endowed. The public education
system includes the University of Connecticut, with its main campus
at Storrs. Trinity (Hartford), Wesleyan (Middletown) and the Univ.
of Hartford are well known; Connecticut College, for women, and
the U.S. Coast Guard Academy are at New London. Preparatory
schools include Taft (Watertown), Choate (Wallingford), Hotch­kiss
(Lakeville), Kent (Kent) and Loomis (Windsor)."
The 1970 World Almanac is sponsored in the Greater Bridgeport
area by the Bridgeport Post and Telegram.

The Alternatives
Last week, The Stag endorsed a Presidential candidate and
seemed to imply that there were only two in the running. Tomorrow,
as students go to the polls, we wish to amplify our remarks.
When we spoke of two candidates, we meant Mr. Gallagher and
Mr. Dormer, the two we feel could handle the post; we still feel that
way, and ask for Mr. Gallagher's election as the better. There are
two other candidates in the running; this morning we mention them,
but only as candidates whose claims should be rebuffed.
Martin Glynn is a sincere young man who speaks his mind. He
represents an unfortunate, lingering specimen of the Silent Generation,
an epoch we had all hoped was two decades behind us. He may have
the conscience of a conservative, he may even have the heart of a
saint, but he does not have the aptitude or motivation to lead the
students.
Mr. Robert Murphy's frenzied last minute entry and his an­nouncement
of it are indicative of the grevious faults we feel
warrant his defeat - a vacuous self-motivation and an inability to
respond to pressure. Last year Mr. Murphy led a veritable wax
museum of self-styled student "moderates" in an attempt to lower
Connecticut's drink age. Despite warm accolades from two ex-ad­ministrators,
the poorly-planned expedition met with its predictable
rate - disaster. Twice he announced as near success his efforts to
open up a bar on campus. It never opened. He organized a teacher
evaluation for students - who found it so long and ponderous they
did not fill it out.
Mr. Murphy, in announcing, pronounced himself "sick and tired
of a Student Government that has no respect for the students it rep­resents
... I am fed up because the government has repeatedly ne.
glected the students." These propositions are highly dubious, and
Mr. Murphy's solutions for a better Student Government would sound
more reasonable were he a junior in high school, and not college. He
accuses the Government of being a clique of those with "pet projects";
this quixotic charge is not sustained. He claims lDcompetency lost us
$1,000 with Mountain; there was a $10 profit, and in Mr. Mariani's
absence Mr. Murphy was in theoretical charge of it all. His solutions
to academic and social reform are simplistic and untenable.
Hemingway equated greatness with "grace under pressure." Mr.
Murphy was a legislator in February, 1968 when a Mitch Ryder Con­cert
lost vast sums of money. He led a floor fight to impeach the
President of the Student Government Midway through, he changed
his mind. Last April 24, Mr. Murphy exacerbated the schism in the
student body by misrepresenting over WVOF the Government's posi­tion
on the compromise. Later, he demanded Mr. Mariani's resigna.
tion out of the blue.
If it is true that Mr. Glynn is a man of the 50's and Mr. Murphy
one of the 60's, it is equally true that Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Dormer
are men for the 70's. We urge the students to choose between them
for continued reform.

Students 'Sound Ofr on Tuition Increase
PAUL WOLFF '71
My initial reaction upon hear­Ing
that the tuition fee had once
again been
raised was
anything but
favorable. I
was not en­ODW"
aj:ed by
the prospect of
baving to
screpe toa-ether still more mon­ey
to cover expenses for the
coming year. Yet, after givine
it some thought, I came to the
conclusion that the increased
cost of attending Fairfield Uni­persity
was as inevitable as the
rising cost of living. Because
of its nature as a private and,
more crucially, a "religious" in­stitution,
it can expect that out­side
aid in the form of addi­tional
government subsidies will
be Iona- and hard in coming.
Evidence of the difficulties to
be faced in this regard can be
seen in the leaal action being
taken against Fairfield and
other catholic Institutions by the
A.C.L.U. This means that the
primary burden of supporting
the school will remain with us
as the students and with our
parents. A3 the operating ex­penses
of the school go up ,it is
we who will be expected to
make up the difference in costs
through payment of higher

For those reasons, I can
accept the condition of havin&
to pay an increased tuition.
However, I feel it is necessary
that the a.nnoWlCement of an in­crease
in student costs should
be accompanied by an explana­tion
of the specific areas in
which money obtained is to be
spent. li In fact, the additional
income yielded by tuition is to
be used to maintain living facili­ties
for on-campus students, an
injustice wllJ be one in that
the student body as a whole,
which includes oft-campus stu­dents
as well, will not benefit
from such an expenditure. Tui­tion
monies should be used ex­clusively
to augment the aca­demic
and cultural quality of
the University. This would in­clude,
among other sorely need­ed
improvements. the hiring of
more teachers to man the un­derstaffed
departments and the
offering of increased aid to de­serving
students In neighbor­ing
areas In order that they
might be enabled to take ad­vantage
of the school's educa­tional
facilities. These are areas
which constitute the proper
realm of tuition expenditures In
that they are directly concerned
with the effectiveness of the
university as an educational in­stitution

all members of the community
rather than just students living
on campus.

not too much. I think
we'll see more students invad­ing

think that's being too idealistic.

blame someone or something

The Reiven, the film adaptation of Faulkner's last novel, flows onto the screen
with bursts of soft color and idealistic scenes of the turn of the century South. We
are taken on a comic and harmless adventure across Mississippi into Memphis,
treated to the company of good hearted whores and leave the theatre with the ex­pectation
of the hero's happy marriage. The Reiven is a strange film for 1970, When
today's film makers look at America's more recent past they usually arrive with
such disturbing films as Bonnie and Clyde or Tell ihem Willie Boy i. Here, The
Reiven is a film of an optimistic and gen uinely happy theme.
However, it would be a mis-take
to call It a sentimental
picture. Mark Rydell, who in­cludes
The Fox among his cred­Its
directed it. The screenplay
was Wl'itten by Irving Ravetch
and Harriet Frank Jr., who
established their Faulknerlan
insight as early as Intruder in
the DllIt In 1946. These people
obviously did not set out to pro­duce
pure mush. What they did
produce is a fllm of small but
significant accomplishments.
The viewer sees one of the
rare occasions when a black
character is not a stereotype.
Rupert Crosse's portrayal of
Ned McCaslin, in view of other
movies, is amazing. He is ac­tually
more than a black super­man,
or a mindless thug. Crosse
transforms Ned into a many
sided and interesting character.
His performance Is definitely
the film's strongest point.
Ned joins with BoDon Hog­ganbeck,
the hero of the story,
who talks young Lucius Mc­Caslin
into stealing his grand­father's
brand new car. They
take it to Memphis so that
Boon can see his irmDCent but
very naive girlfriend there. She
happens to work In a brothel.
And It is there that Boon, an
overgrown adolescent, will be­gin
to instruct eleven year old
Lucius in manhood. Yet Faulk­ner
intended Boon to be a lov­able
and comic character in
spite of his actions.
The difficult role of Boon was
played by Steve McQueen who
received a tremendous amount
of publicity for it. A few years
ago Mr. McQueen, with the de­fection
of Paul Newman into
the serious ranks, found him­self
the sole inheritor of the
John Wayne-Gary Cooper tradi­tion.
He was the prime young
tough of the 1960's and his
films, such as Bulllt, were en­ormously
popular. He never was
really called upon to display any
real talent, and he does not
show any in The Reh·e~. Yet
he plays his part with a great
amount of poise and chann, and
this Is adequate.
McQueen is perhaps redeem­ed
by young Mitch Vogel who
plays Lucius. Vogel is not an
overly Innocent child actor, but
very natural and believable in
his part. His interplay with Mc­Queen
is excellent. He helps
elevate the star's performance.
The Reh'en is, at times, a
little too sweet and wann. The
South of 1905, particularly the
seamy side of Memphis, was
often brutal. But Rydell and his
writers chose to concentrate on
attempting to capture the nos­talgic
sense of Faulkner's novel.
The fllm culminates with a
dream like horse race filmed in
super slow motion, gaining what
seems to me to be the essence
of Faulkner's comic yet sad
work. The Reh'en was never
made to promote social revolu­tion.
It was made Instead to be
a beautiful and enjoyable film.
It certainly reaches this goal.

During the past few months I have read with
great amusement Patrick (Kevin) Long's record re­view
column. Last week I was truly amused by his
"Ten Best LP List of 1969" and so I feel compelled to
write what I think to be the "Ten Worst LP's of 1969."
There is one criterion for my list, though. There are no
"sleepers" on it. The personnel on my albums are all
musical "giants" who have in the past turned out rather
good discs or performed with respectable groups. Fin­ally,
I have no preference fol' each album is terrible.

The cost of attending FairfI::!k1.

years. Next
year boarding
ItUdents will
face a three
three hundred
dollar Increase
over what
they pay now.
We can accept the Increase
after hearing the explanation of
rising wages for personnel and
rising costs for other aspects
of college life at the FalrfI.eld
community.
Nevertheless, Important quell­tIons
ot policy arise in the
student's mind.
Is this increase In any way
due to the Negro takeover ot
last November? Is the univer­sity
rising the costs of other
students to provide for the ser­vices
promised to the Negroes
after tragically submitting to
their demands?
Why Is the room and board
cost rising when services are
decreasing? Security Is atro­cious.
Valuable Items have been
stolen and apparently a very
poor percentage of them is ac­tually
recovered. Two years
ago, maid service was much
more regular than It is now.
The maintenance department
has repeatedly been lackadals·
icalln making repairs, there are
a few examples with which I am

these actions cannot be justified

Student'. Role In Crux
Fr. McInnes explained that
the crux of the matter lay In
the dlsa&reement between the
two parties OYer the nature of
the students' role as members
ot the committee. He noted that
"these conditions are no rejec­tion
of free speech or discussion
with their constituents of the
general lnformatlon ot the com­mlttee,"
rather he opposed "in­dividual
members taking the
liberty to act as .pokcsmen tor
the group" by reporting its de­cl.
lons without authori%ation.
Both Mr. McAUliffe and Mr.
Keilty have announced that in
addition to submitting their res­ignations
to President Mariani,
they would recommend to the
Student Government that It not
appoint students to fill their va~
cant slots on the committe.
Fr. Mcinnes, however, up.­holds
the position that the com­mittee
should continue to oper­ate
and that the conditions of
confidentiality are essential to
its nature. He also evoked the
hope that the Student Govern­ment
will appoint "substitute

Just thiS for the next 10 minutes with the shooting of
Fra~k Magaletta and the fine rebounding and scorinQ"
of Rich Shonbeck. The Stags built up their bigllest lead
of ~he second half at 52.45. However. the Stags lost
their touch. and Murphy found his. The Stags stayed
on top until the 6 :09 mark. With the score 53-53
Murphy stole the ball and Jayed it in as he was fOUled:
Murphy completed the three point play and Niagara
was on top to stay.
Throughout the first half the Murphy rooters were
very disappointed as the diminutive star shot a poor
one for six from the floor. Every time Murphy touched
the ball, which was not often, the crowd would stir,
but after the missed shot the only cheers came from
the gleeful Stag fans, as they felt an upset 1n the mak­ing.
:Many people may attribute Murphy's poor per­fonnance
to the Stag defense, that held him to three
points in the first half. However, there seems to be a
pattern in Murphy's and Niagara's play in the first half
in most of their games. Last Thursday night against
Fordham at Madison Square Garojen Murphy shot poor­ly
in the first half, hitting only on a few shots and
several foul shots and came off the floor with 9 points
and a half time score of 33-33.
At the end of the first half at the Arena the score
was 33-32 in favor of F'airfield. Niagara was looking
for the weak points of the Stags and they found them.

Last Tuesday evening the Niagara University bas·
ketbalJ team invaded the New Haven Arena led by
All-American Calvin Murphy. The majority of the
crowd had been attracted to the ancient arena by the
appearance of Murphy. Many had come from Norwalk,
Murphy's home town, in hopes that Calvin would put
on one of his notorious performances.

Many people left the Arena Tuesday ni~ht feeling

Since coming to Fairfield he
has been continually plagued by
a serious knee injury which has
hampered him throughout his
career here. Consequently, Rick
had to make certain adjust­ments
to enable himself to play
the game of basketball. Work­ing
construction jobs during the
summer, he concentrated on
building his knees back to jump­ing
strength. Now, Rick per­forms
with his knees taped
from his thighs to his calves.
Even with this his aggressive­ness
provides him with the
ability to outjump opponents
much taller than himself. Such
stellar performances against
the University of Bridgeport in
which he scored 15 points, and
grabbed 17 rebounds, and also
against Niagara which he feels
was his "best and roughest
game."
A Great Re8ponslbUity
In playing center Rick has a
great responsibility as a mem­ber
of the team. He stated that,
"team work Is what the coach
(James Lynam) wants, which
is so important not only on the
court, but off It as well."
Rick Is majoring In market­Ing.
Although he wishes it to
be a bigger department, he is
grateful for what it has given
him. In the ncar future he plans
to begin selling life insurance

Those who have witnessed
any Fairfield University basket­ball

help but noUce the illuminating
display of determination and de_
sire put forth by Rick Schon­beck.
At 6' 6" and 215 Ibs., he
has matched himseJ{ against
many big men under the boards.
Switching the center position
with roommate Art Good, Rick
has helped to mold the basket­ball
tearn together in crucial
situations. The awesome chore
of battling for rebounds has
given him the reputation of be­ing
a consistently tough hard
nosed competitor, which is just
one of his attributes.
A graduale of Westboro,
Massachusetts High School, he
compiled an impressive record
averaging 20 ppg. and winning
All New England (small
schools) and All Worcester
County honors.
Rick chose Fairfield because
it gave him the best offer at
the time. However, he found it
to be most rewarding in that
he was able to become "more
of an individual than a number."
Commenting on the general
turnout this season, Rick was
surprised not to see as many
fans as he would like to sup­port
the team, since it Is having
a winning season. He feels this
is most important when the
game is close. "'The fans give

The Intramural Basketball
leagues had a number of out­standing
games last week.
Among them was the classic
batlle in the American League
pitting the undefeated combine
from ND-l against the once
beaten "Ro-Ho's" from ND-3.
Also, in the American League,
R4 came from behind to take
a tough 1.,2 team. Meanwhile, in
the National League, ND-4 con­tinued
its winning ways by
trouncing C-4.
In the NO.1 and No.3 game,
it was the fast break offense of
the "Pubs" which told the story.
The ND-l Boys, who either
play with only five or six men,
were not available to keep pace
with the running game of ND-3,
a team which does not have a
manpower shortage. Despite
this. ND-l managed to stay
close to the "Ro-Ho's" during

The Niagara University bas­ketball
team visited the New
Haven Arena last Tuesday
night as Jim Lynam's Stags
played one of their best games
of the season. Fairfield took an
early lead and brought the at­tack
to the visitors throughout
most of the game with a gritty
defense and opportunistic of­fensive
efforL In the opening
minutes, Wayne Gibbons, who
ran the Purple Eagles crazy
with his lightning drives from
the ke;y, popped in five points,
and Frank Magaletta dropped
in four, as Fairfield burst to a
quick 9-3 advantage with just
three and a half minutes gone.
Fairfield's defense was spec:.­tacular
throughout the entire
game. The zone defense made
Niagara pass the ball around
continuously as the Eagles kept
looking for an open shot. The
defense blocked many passes
which led to the fine ball hand­ling
and play_making of Bob
Kelly and Wayne Gibbons
throughout the first half. Fair­field's
defense held Calvin
Murphy to just three points in
the first half. The Stags gained
the edge on both boards be­hind
the rebounding of Maga·
leea and Rich Schonbcck and
grabbed every loose ball in
sight, as Niagara called time
cut with Fairfield ahead 23-15.
The Stags opened their biggest
margin at 28-20, before Niagara
scored eight straight p::>ints and
tied the game with 3:55 left.
The last four minutes in the
first half saw the score go back
and forth a few times before
Fairfield grabbed a 33-32 halt

The Fairfield Fencing Team,
in its second away meet of the
year, journeyed to Worcester,
Mass., to battle the WOrcc!ster
Polytechnic Institute's Fencing
team. The Fairfield team had
just come off of a double defeat
at the hands of Trinity College
and Norwich University, in a
trl-meet the week before, and
spirits were low as they began
their trip to meet Worcester.
Despite a realistic effort, and
the fact that its starting team
was composed mainly of inex­p:!
rienced Freshmen, the Fair­field
Fencers went down in
defeat by a 20-7 upset. The
team, minus the services of
sabre-fencer Derry Chuga and
foilman Frank Carollo, was un­able
to provide a match for
Worcester's more experienced
and improved team.

The foil team, composed of
Ladd Raleigh, Rich Tereba and
Gary Peloquin, managed a J-.6
record, as each fencer won one
bout while losing two. This
meet saw Freshman Gary Pelo­quin
win his first collegiate
bout, just as his classmate Rich
had done the previous week
against Trinity College.
