Inability ·to handle the

an angry Speaker
Allan Kaulbach exercised his
new constitutional power to im­peach
14 legislators, more than

representation among members
of the student body, faculty and
administration.
Dennis believes that the need
for academic reform has reach­ed
a critical stage. Under his
direction the Student Govern­ment
drew up a petition of
seventeen demands. The word
"demand" has been employed to
stimulate attention in the Uni­versity
community. These sev­enteen
demands are not binding,
they are extremely negotiable.
The petition represents the de­mand
for student voice not stu­dent
power.
These negotiable points signi_
fy the concerns of the students
in respect to academic change.
The Student Government sin­cerely
hopes that Fairfield's
pursuit for equal student rep­resentation
can be achieved
through negotiations.
Apart from the formal pro­gram
of the Student Govern­ment.
Dennis is fully supported
by the other candidates in last
week's election for the Presi­dency.

Via 'Negotiable'
By l\UKE FARjRELL
"In the realm of academic
reform, the major problem fac­ing
Fairfield University is the
lack of student voice and stu­dent
representation," cites Den­nis
Gallagher, newly elected
and inaugurated President of
the Student Government. "Here
at Fairfield the task of curricu­lum
change has been reserved
to the faculty with approval from
administrative areas. However,
there has been a distinct display
of ineptness on the part of the
faculty. This constant failure to
achieve a workable quorum re­sulted
in the lowering of the
quorum standards to 25% plus
1% of the faculty. Such a low
quorum does not allow for a
cross-section of opinions. The
faculty is plagued with a lack
of interest In their duty of aca­demic
reform."
On Tuesday, February 25,
Dennis Gallagher was elected
President of the Student Gov­ernment.
He Is presently launch·
ing a program of academic re­form
under the theme of a bind­ing
tri-p3'"titt> :-nard of equal
and outside oonununity rela­tions.
"I feel that this new ar­rangement
wlll provide a more
eJ'ricient decentralized manage­ment
structure for the 70's."
The creation of this position
makes the best use of available
resources at Fairfield, offers ef­Deency

Barone brings to the new office

Following the publication of
17 Student Government de­mands
and the ensuInl verbal
attacks made an University
President, Rev. WiU1am McIn­nes.
S,J., Dr. John A. Barone,
newly appointed University Pro­vost,
issued statements defend­ing
the stand of President Me­lnnes
on the key issue of hav­ing
a tri-partite council which
is binding in certain areas while
only advisory in others. It waa
this particular viewpoint of Fr.
McInnes which caused Student
President Dennis Gallagber to
question his honesty during a
recent speech before the mem­bers
of SAM laSt Wednesday _L
Dr. Barone. the fonner Vice
President of Planning and one
of those responsible for provid­ing
the initial thrust in the in­stitution
and development of
td-partitism as a means of gov­vernance
at Fairfield, mention­ed
that two years ago when
Father McInnes Initiated the
concept, it was emphasized that
"each sector of the University
(administration. faculty and stu­dents)
would not be living up
power but rather sharing it."
He stated, however, that the
students obviously had the most
to gain because they previously
had the fewest powers.
Although the power of the
University was to be divided
through the implementation 01
this concept of tri-partite gov­ernment.
Dr. Barone said it was
made clear that "the ultimate
legal responsibility for the Uni­versity
still remained with the
Board of Trustees." The tri­partite
council, In fonning,
would merely be taking on cer­tain
seU contained activities of
the University.
In light of these developments,

They also noted that Rev.

their meeting in reference to
the McAuliffe "resigning-firing"
controversy.
Said -Reinhard, "McInnes
could never defend himself. The
only excuse he could give for
his action was that the action

not be revealed until it had

should have decided ahead of

overshadowed by an un­proportional

The Metaphysical Society at
America will celebrate its 20th
anniversary March 13 and 14
when it holds its annual confer­ence
at Fairfield University.
The two-day can t ere n c e,
which will be housed in the
university's Campus Center and
the Gonzaga Auditorium, will
be attended by leading meta­physicians
from colleges and
universities across the country.
Dr. Joseph G. Grassi, chair­man
of Fairfield University's
Philosophy Department, said
"we are especially honored to
be able to host the conference
since this is the first time it is
being conducted at a university
with only an undergraduate
philosophy department." Last
year's meeting was held at Van·
derbilt University while the
UniverSity of Southern Califor.
nia hosted the 1968 conference.
The society, a professional
organization which concerns it­self
with important metaphysic·
al problems of the day, was
founded by Professor Paul
Weiss, fonnerly of Yale, now
at Catholic University, and has
some 1,100 members.
Presiding over the conference

who will highlight events

meeting can be summed up in
this contribution by a SAMite,
"We have the leadership we
have always been looking for,
he's given us the 18IIoue8, and
now we need the power!"
In a post-meeting huddle with
this reporter, Jeff Reinhard and
Bob Murphy clarified some of
Gallagher's naming attacks at
Rev. McInnes. Gallagher had
used the McInnes quote, "Unan­imity
in voting does not neces­sarily
mean consensus," to dra­matize
the inconsistency of the
University President. Though
they admitted they thought Me-­Innes
had acted in an evasive
manner, this particular quote
was shown to be in reference to
the petition.

Tri-Partite. I don't agree
and what I want to see Is a
blndlng Trl·Partite make a spe­cific
deciSion on each of the
seventeen d em and s belore
March 16."
Greg Keilty emphasized that
the disorganized faculty would
never get together in time to
give definite decisions before
the deadline unle6s the student
body, led by SAM, made sure
they finally moved.
"The reason notbing ha.s been
done in the pMt by the faculty
ill beeauae they are too damn
lazy!"
President Dennis Ga.liagher
made himself aD object of con·
troversy by c.aJllng for spirit
and unit)· in the community on
one hand, and on tlJe other hand
spouted "ebement bolts of fire
aimed at Rel'. l\lclnnes, charg,
Ing him with making absurd
contradictions.
Said Gallagher, "At the meet­ing
this afternoon McInnes
bluntly stated, 'Don't threa.ten
me' and 'J am the power of this
unh'erslty', He mentioned that
if a binding Tri-Partite was es­tablished
he would abide by its
decisions. On his next breath
he stated he would not consider
a revision of the budget com­mittee
submitted by a Tri-Par­tite,
that it would remain only
as an advisory committee as
long as he was President
"So obviously he Is lying on
either ODe or the other state·
ments! Unity among the stu­dents
is what he wants to see
the least. He knows the student
body has power in numbers.
SAM must let it be known that
we want one-third power in a
binding Tri-Partite."
Gallagher then struck out
against the March 15 deadline
for academic changes. "I don't
feel we need to stand by It. If
the Tri.Partite does not come
through by March 15, the issues
will become 'outstanding' issues
and will be dealt with as such."
Gallagher was relentless in
his assault against the Admin­Istration
Rnd Faculty. Referring
to President McJnnes, he said,
"J really don't know if he I.s
'disturbed' - but I do know he
Is dlsturbed with the stUdents.
He is turned off by the word.
A group of about a hundrer Student Action,> Movement (SAM) members left the Oak Room
Thursday night with shouts of "Power for the Pea pie" after a stirrIng declaration of support for the
Student Government demands. The meeting was highlighted by President Gallagher's emotionally
charged address urging for total student unity behind him.
Greg Keilty, Chairman of the Draft Resistance Committee, opened discussion on the Student
Government demands by calling for a definition of student power - which the meeting: never saw.
"Most of us remember what
happened last year. All anybody
could see were booze and
broads. It's up to SAM to iden­tify
the underlying Issues of
President Gallagher's demands
as student rights. Of primary
concern is the establishment of
a binding Tri-Partite. This will
establish student rights. We
cannot again make the mistake
of reverting to particular is­sues."

Mr. Long, your ignorance reached its

The song can be analyzed In sev­eral
ways, wherein lies Its beauty; since
each listener can choose his own Inter­pretation.
To start you off, try substitut­ing
the name "Frank lJoyd Wright"
with "Dylan" and you come up with a
song bidding Dylan adieu after his sup­posed
degeneration in "Nashville Sky­line,"
This Is one possible interpretation.
Make up your own _ and. technically _
can't you appreciate the beautiful poetic
ambiguity of the lines - "So Long. So
Long!"
Satisfied" (which Mr. Long doesn't
deign "worthy of discussion") PaUl Si­mon
tells the story of his professIon
just as he did In "Homeward Bound."
Even if the lyrics are not profuse, it Is
certainly well-perfonned musically, As
for "Cecilia" and ''Why Don't You
Write Me," the poetic expressions of
Paul Simon are highly intense, especially
in the latter.
Mr. Long goes on to say that" 'Bye,
Bye Love' has no business b:-ing on an
album." For God's sake! They did It as
a goof! Just as Paul Simon threw In
"We've Got a Groovey thing going" on
the "Sounds of Silence" album, It was
"Just for Fun," as Simon himself puts
it.
Your praise at the album. Mr. Long.
Is almost worse than your criticism. You
claim that" 'Bridge Over Troubled Wa­ter'
is one of the best that S & G has
ever done." Albeit a good song, It has
almost no depth, yet you class this ob­jective
work as "one of the best." When
you classlfy "The Boxer" as a song
about a lighter - Mr. Long, don't you
ever ,find any meaning in anything'!'
After reading your review, I am con­vinced
that you revel only in objectivity,
In which case, "Bobby Sherman" or
"The Archles" are more your line.
Please leave the brilliant artists alone.

Advertising "testimonials" are fre-.
quent instances of this fallacy. We
are urged to smoke this or that
brand of cigarettes because a cham­pion
swimer or stock-car racer af·
firms their superiority. And we are
assured that such and such a c0s­metic
is better because it Is ~
ferred by this opera singer or that
movie star.
I think that Copi's words very ade­quately
sum up what Mr. Harak has
attempted to do in his own "advertising
testimonial": use Marty as a sales pitch.
But the article is vicious; for, whereas
it pretends to commend Marty, who
surely deserves commendation, in fact
it merely uses him.
Lastly, I find It particularly note.­worthy
that one so concerned with dis­tinguishing
between "facts" and "Intel'­pretatlon
of facts," ao; Mr. Harak last
week announced himself to be, could not
avoid making arguments which are
firmly rooted In logical fallacy; for such
arguments, of all possible arguments,
are the least scientific.

As I look from Mr. Pat Long's review
of Simon and. Garfunkel's "Bridge Over
Troubled Water" to that album and the
others that they have produced, I can­not
help but marvel at his asininity.
He starts all by commenting on vari­ous
"flaws" in their other albums, First,
he mentions "Voices of Old People" on
Bookends. If Mr, Long paid any atten­tion
to that album, he would note that
the songs "Overs" and "Old Friends"
are similar in tempo and theme. These
two fine songs are beautifully suspended
in the middle by a short speaking pi""Ce
(Band 5 "Voices") which also couples
the two, since it is still on the original
theme and Is devastating in impact be.
cause it Is reality - the listener can't
dismiss the message of "Overs" and
"Old Friends" as a fantasy, set to music.
Mr, Long stales that he "expects much
more from them." Well, Mr. Long. per­haps
what yoo expect Is 11 or 12 songs
which you can play over and over and
still enjoy. Regardless of their actual
value. The same applies to Mr. Long's
criticism of •.., O'Clock NewslSllent
Night" on another album, This song has
fantastic Impact the first time you hear
It, and Is virtually valueless tram there
on. The same Is true of the movie "The
Graduate," Mr, Long, but I would hard­ly
call that production a "flaw." If you
ever stop to listen to the words In "A
Simple Desultory Philippic" you have
one hell of a powerful song to think
about; hardly a "naw" that "ruined"
the album.
As for the new album _ Mr. Long
has objectively reviewed beautiful p0e­try
and then has the gonads to say
"I have come to expect much more
from them." In ''Keep the Customer

Letters To The Editc
To the Editor:
The column entitled "One Man,"
which appeared in the last edition of
the Stae, sheerly consternates me. What
consternates me even more, is that the
editors of the Staa" judged the article to
be fit for publication. The article Is as
vicious a piece of advertisement as ever
I have read. It Is not really intended to
praise anybody; it is intended to sell
something. And it merely uses the Pf'r­son
whom It pretends to praise, to 6eJl
that something which it Is intended to
sell.
NO'N, at the very beginning of the
article, we are told that Marty said,
about his winning of the Woodrow Wil­son
Fellowship, that "It made me feel
happy to represent Fairfield as well as
J could." The author of the article then
proceeds to devote a great deal of space
to hammering it Into our heads that,
whereas "most of us will even excuse
ourselves from study because of a head­ache,"
Marty has, even In much pain,
"persisted in his studies, maintaining
the same high scholastic average he had
In his lirst three years at Fairfield." For
my part, I do respect Marty'S persist­ence.
But note the author's attempt to
put Marty In radical contrast to "most
of us." Here the author is attempting to
separate Marty from the mass of stu­dents;
to establish Marty in out" minds
as an exemplar, which he already Is In
the minds of those of liS who know him.
But It is by no means the author's at­tempt
to establJsh Marty as an exemplar
to which J object; rather. it Is the au.
thor's motive for doing so that I object
to. And the author's motive. very u-r1y
motive. is revealed at the end of the
article, where the author eulogist caJ:y
declares: "May One Man, then. oller
tribute to Martin Looney; and through
Martin Looney, tribute to Fairfield Uni­versity,
the school that produced such a
scholar, the school he was "happy to
represent· ... Here, then. it becomes cI~a·
what that something is which Marty has
been used to sell: It is Fairfield Unlvel'­sity,
the place which Marty was "happy
to represent." The author attempts to
sell Fairfield University to us. by point­Ing
out to us that Marty. whom he has
established as an exemplar, has endorsed
Fairfield Unlverslly. The salesman_au_
thor of this article wants to sell Fair­field
University to us, and thinks that
he can do so by setting up Marty as an
object of emulation, and then telling US
that Marty has bought the product.
Marty uses It. so goes the advertise­ment;
trom this we are to conclude that
we should use It, too,

this article, let us take a look at the

Last year at this juncture, The Stag printed an editorial analysis
of the term of the retiring President of the Student Government under
the title, "The Faking of the President, 1969." If one. had asked last
year's presidential candidates for an evaluation of theIr predecessor's
term, they would have had to gape open-mouthed, for there was
nothing to say. This year there is, and we find it highly favorable. As
Albert Mariani steps down, appreciation is due for the outstanding
reform and transition of the last year.
When he arrived in the government, it was an experiment in
civics. When he ran for President last winter, the Government was
torn between a legislature expressing the increasing dissatisfaction
and activism of the student body and a President who stolidly ex­pressed
the reactionary virtues of the Silent Generation.
It was only a year ago that alcohol and women gave a student
suspension or expulsion instead of pleasure; that prefects had the
blank-check authority of undercover agents; that students despaired
over ever having control over their destinies; that administrators
rested content in the belief that plastic cliches and ~mu", complacency
could divert student sovereignty forever.
Under Mr. Mariani, the tide was checked and reversed. Student
sovereignty is a blooming reality; student morale is high enough to
make the chief question in their minds not "Where can we go 7" but
"How far do we go 7"
Mr. Mariani's finest hours were last April 17 and 22, when he
calmly but firmly challenged the treachery of certain University ad­ministrators,
and mobilized the students into action; and September
13-14, when the University Council ratified the thrust of last spring's
demands.
No one, of course, is perfect. Two days after the Gonzaga rally,
Mr. Mariani found himself trapped into urging the students to com­promise
their rights. The binding tri-partite he thought was coming
then, and thought had arrived on September 13-14, never came. Even
now, the machinery for last spring's reforms are shaky, vulnerable,
and not significantly improving the social life. The ignoring of stu­dents
in curriculum reform and the subsequent mutilation of several
of their indispensable interests on the floor of the general faculty
indicate widespread hostility to student rights and a certain amount
of poor diplomacy on the Government's part. Activities fees, as
pledged, were not collected with the tuition; percentagewise pay­ment
declined. And when one rereads Mr. Mariani's proposal to con.
vert Loyola I or Campion I into a combined office-residence, one
must combat onrushing laughter.
But every journey of a thousand miles, as the Chinese say, must
have a first step. Mr. Mariani stumbled occasionally, but he brought
us several miles down the road from where we were. And if, as de
Tocquev!lIe. fe~t, revolutions feed on hope and not despair, perhaps
Mr. Mariam Will be remembered as one who found us despairing and
gave us hope.
If the "spirit of the demands" Is In­consistent
with the Government's past
actions, many of the demands them.
selves indicate a further inconsistency.
On the one hand, many students have
created an alliance with the faculty by
advocating immediate salary increases.
Yet these same students will crIticize a
rise in tUition. Surely they must realize
that a salary jump will inevitably result
in another tuition increase.
Byrn, Baby, Bryn
Or consider the statements on Fair­field's
maintenance problems. On numer­ous
occasions we have heard undergrad­uates
lament the decline of dormitory
conditions, but never once has anyone
admitted that much of the maintenance
budget is devoted to repairing student­caused
damage.
The current drive on the part of the
Student Government for greater "free­dom"
and a more extensive role In the
operations of this university represents
nothing more than a desire for power
in an ever-growing game of politics. The
very use of intimidation and threats Is
indicative of either desperation or a lack
of rational argument. A triumph for the
originators of the seventeen demands
will serve only as an obstacle to the bet­terment
of Fairfield University.

To the Editor:
The functioning of any academic in­stitution
demands that a certain degree
of tolerance lind respect be maintained
among the members of that community.
When such an atmosphere is lacking,
the very existence of the unIversity is

and administration are able to

In a spirit of cooperation, while at the
same time suppressing the tendency to­ward
emotionalism, higher education will
have truly s.dvanced.
In view of the events initiated by the

dent, one can only conclude that many
individuals within the student body have
abused this spirit of goodwill. No longer
do they submit their problems to dis­cussion,
but they feel compelled to shout
down all opposition. Furthermore, our
student leaders seem totally blind to
their own failures of the pasl, apparently
content to project these weaknesses upon
some outer foree - namely, the hier­archy
of this unlversity'S administration.
But let us turn away from such gen­eralities
to more concrete examples.
Implicit within the various pre-election
statements and the subsequent seventeen
demands Is the cry for greater student
responsibility In the area of academics.
While the ever-present word demand re­flects
a certain immaturity and willing·
ness to resort to extreme measures, It
might be questioned whether or not the
students even have a right to petition
for such changes. when one considers
their inabllJty to cope with dormitory
"privileges" granted one year ago. A
walk along a typical Fail'field corridor
is an eye-opening experience for any
visitor. Signs of vandalism prevail; pa_
rietal systems are generally ignored; the
level of noise makes studying all but im­possible.
Can then a student or Student
Government, which is incapable of con­trolling
life within the dorms, be asked
to initiate an independent studies pro­gram
or hold an equal voice in the choIce
of a curriculum1 Is it wise to concede
more rights to any individual, when that
same person has been proven to be lax
with regard to his present responslbili­tles.

Redirection of deserved accusations is
ong overdue. We've been nauseated
ong enough by the grueling grilling of

Keep Of( The Grassi!
Since our entrance into Fairfield a
year and a half ago one thIng has re­mained
constant. While other traditions
have come and gone the weekly har·
angue against Dr. Grassl has continued
without fail. It is unfortunate that
among a faculty of 150 the Stag can
lind only one which it feels deserves Its
:tttenticn. Attention which has assumed
the form of a personal vendetta. It
~eems hypocritical that on a campus
where there Is so much talk of apathy
that one of the few men who continually
meets the issues face to face must suffer
lOch vile and untruthful attacks. Four
years ago Dr. Grassi strove to lower
!he philosophy requirements from fifteen
to nine credits. In a department of fif·
teen professors only three have been
~ere for three years. This is due to Dr.
::;rassi's constant endeavors to change
md improve his department according
;0 his beliefs. He has gIven his depart·
:nent the second highest percentage of
Joctorates on campus yet all he has re­:
eived in return is abuse. Because of his
~trorts the American Metaphysical So­:
Iety has chosen Fairfield as the site of
:heir annual convention this year. Let­:
ers from noted philosophers throughout
:he country have testilled to the fact
:hat Fairfield's philosophy department is
tmong the best, if not the best, In the
:ountry.
Rather than to continue this assault
lpon a person who can number the
lbove among his achievements would it
lot be wiser for the Stag to chide other
lrofessors for their Inactions rather
:han criticize him for his actions. There
Ire enough professors here at Fairfield
;vho deserve attention as a result of
heir Inslpience so that it would not be
mposslble for the Stag to redirect its
:riticlsm in a constructive manner. The
'lew York Times stated recently that
~nglish doctorates are "a dime a dozen,"
I fact which Is hardly based on figures
'rom our own department, yet we hear
lathing about this in our crusading St&«.
Dr. Grassi, as exemplified by his will­ngness
to discuss all Issues of interest·

"Shared commitment Is not enougb. There mUlt also be shared
power ... We have been patient too long; we have negotiated
too much; we have compromised too oft.en:'
Dennis Gallagher, February 215, 18,.0
This afternoon at one o'clock, the student body will have to
choose. The events of the past week will come to a head, and the
choice will be to press on with or retreat' from the campaign for
student sovereignty at this university.
President Dennis Gallagher has released a petition including
17 "outstanding demands" in the reabns of governance, academics
and finance. It is the unfinished business of last spring. As Mr.
Gallagher put it, 'The students wen duped Into compromising
their rights" at that time In the belief that a binding tri-parUte
would be forthcoming. Despite the enthusiasm of the september
13-14 University Councll sessions, the dream has proven illusory.
Furthermore, the academic proposals made last spring by the
Student Government were lost by the waysIde on April 24. U social
life, and the systematic exclusion of students from positions of
control was last year's burning issue, academics _ and the sys­tematic
exclusion of students from posltlons of control of cur­riculum
reform - has come back to haunt us all as this year's.
And recent developments - the faculty wage crisis, the scandalous
decllne In security and maintenance, and the tuition rise to name
a few - have convinced many faculty and students alike that they
must take an active role In shaping the University's flnanc:lal
destiny to assure their own welfare.
Understandably. some students and faculty do not wish to
sign out of hesitancy on the feasIbility of one or two demands. But
which is better - to accept two and actively support fifteen, or to
scuttle all change for the sake of minor personal misgivings! 'The
demands, after all, are adjustable - the faculty might request 80,
the students can Insist so, Mr. Gallagher might voluntarily do so.
What they npresent - the spirit of student sovereignty, of over­due
binding trl-partitlsm. of shared commitment as shared power
- Is what Is important, and what must not be adjusted or
sacri1lced.
Understandably as well, the argument has been made that
enough was gained last spring, that the point has been made, that
the system will now respond to us. But such Is not the case. The
reforms and restructuring of the past year are the direct result
of the threat of a strike which the students made last year. Had'
they not done so, the status quo of that time would still prevail.
And because they backed olf from actually strildng, the reforms
and restructuring of the past year exist prlmarl.ly on paper, result
primarily from the goodwill of Dean Schimpf, and are subject to
instant abolition by administrative fiat at any time.
The strength of the students lies not In fiats or committees CH'
even petitions - it lies In numbers, in the quantitative and ~
centrated strength which is the only language the power brokers
of this university have ever understood. OUr marching call bM

The Only Game in Town is the rather eagerly awaited Twentieth Century Fox
release which opens in New York today. It stars Elizabeth Taylor, which makes it
special, and it is Warren Beatty's first fil m since Bonnie and CI~e, which makes it
an event. Unfortunately the background of the film is far more Interesting than the
film itself. ..
The plot concerns the ott beat .j
love affair between a second
rate bar room pianist and a Las
VC&as showgirL All of the so­lion
takes place in that Ameri­can
Sodom, and it figures signi­ficantly
on the plot, as Beatty
the piano player is addicted to
gambling. The most logical
place to make the film would be
of course at Las Vei'as. Yet the
plctun was shot In Paris. It
seems that Mrs. Burton sud­denly
became suspicious of her
husband's wandering Welsh eye
and she simply refused to leave
their home in France.
Thus Tbe Only Game In Town
appears to have been made
twenty years ago, with bland
sets and crude backdrop paint­ings
of the Vegas skyline.
Twentieth century Fox has
placed the film In the hinter·
lands before its New York pre­miere.
This is usually a sign
that the company expects dis­aster
and will settle for some
quick money rather than plan
on a profitable and long New
York ron.
r saw the film 1n New Ha­ven's
ron down Paramount Th~
atre. For me there were two
most thrilling events. The first
was listening to an ancient
couple sitting In back of m~.
The man was apparently hard
of hearing and his wife took it
upon herseU to eJq)lain all the
sexy dialogue to the elderly
gentleman. All during the film
r kept hearing such things as
"He's going to take Liz to bed.
He's going to take Uz to BED!"
Then, the Paramount provided
the apex of excitement for the
evening. A gang of self styled
fourteen year old tQU&hs at­tempted
to rush the manag('r,
seeking free admission. They
were chanting slogans of libera­tion
in the lobby as the people
in the back rows began kxlking
around for the exit signs. For­tunately
the Paramount ushers,
dressed in dirty tuxedos and reo
sembling old prize fighters,
roshed to the manager's aid
and repulsed the Invaders.
The hoodlums were lucky.
They were spared the boredom
of The Only Game In Town.
Frank D. Gilroy'S screeRplay
is sometimes humorous but the
plot Itself is terrible. The piano
player and the show-girl finally
express their love for each
other after Beatty makes a tre­mendous
killing In Caesar's Pal­ace.
With their fresh cast they
set off to be married and then
escape the horrors of Las Ve­gas.
The love story is shallow
and unconvincing.
Beatty attempts to give a
good performance but there are
too many things working
against him. It Is almost im­poslble
for the viewer to im­agine
the overweight and forty­ish
Liz Taylor as a Youna: and
desirable girl. It is also har..i
for Beatty to perfonn well in
ill planned casino scenes and
ill direeted love scenes.

ONE MAN
HOW TO "ACE" A TEST
One of the facts of student life at Fairfield is testing. Mid­terms
are upon us. This is One Man's method for "How to 'Ace' a
test."
Let us assume, of course, that the student has all class ootes,
and has read all assignments,
There is a proper initial approach for the student who wants
to learn. Just as a batter assumes a correct stance at the plate,
and a goUer properly addresses a golf ball, and a singer takes a
good vocal position, so the student's proper initial approach tt'
learning is the depth humility of the statement: "I don't know."
That may seem hopelessly apparent, but consider how many
times, even in our daily conversations, have we missed an oppor­tunity
to learn, just because we're ashamed to admit that we
don't know. Technically speaking,the admission, "I don't know,"
fully opens the student's mind so that he Is prepared to learn, and
permits him to approach the subject matter without personal
prejudice.
Oddly enough, the student has to "study twice" for a test.
That is, there are two difl'ennt stages of study. The first stage
is acquisition and assimilation of the material. The second stag....
is eJq)resslon of the assimilated material, and 15 geared toward
the particular type of test (I.e. comment on quotes, essay, true­false,
etc.).
Our study should begin with several o\"ervlewe of the entire
subject material. Broce Hawley, I know, in preparation for a
test, writes all his class notes, book notes, etc., together on a set of
legal sheets. That pratice seems to me to be rather laborious, but
it illustrates the right idea; to get a complete overview.
Now that the overview has set the limits on our material, and
has given us a general concept of It, the second step is to organl:lc
and categorl.:le the material. That organization and categorization
must, of course, spring from the subject matter itself. That Is, we
must not decide to categorize Charlemagne as a typical Roman
emperor, than later wonder what went wrong with our studies,
Thus for history, for example, the categories may ~ "centuries,"
for literature, the categories may be "schools," with a philosopher,
we must write down each maln, then subordinate, argument.
Then comes stept three, the hard part. We must, in each or­ganized
category, eomprehend and fully know the tact. and/or
statements of that category. Thus, for a philosopher, for example,
we must honestly seek to understand hI8 arguments and statements
(even though we may feel we don't like what he's saying).
Now we come to the part that is most fun. The human mind
takes over. Once we have overviewed, organized, then compre-­hended
the subject matter, the mind begins to establish similarities
and relations between categories. Something that Plato wrot~
recalls something that Augustine wrote: a relation is established.
Some basic characteristic is found to be the same for Hawthorn~
and Melville. There emerges an Internal order, a fundamental
trend, a unifying principle - lUI Idta. Thus a student could, after
much work, get an idea that Western OvUlation has Its source
In three trends: the Gra~RomaD, the Gennan, and the Judaco­Quistian.
The Idea of the "unpardonable sin" helps us understand
much of Hawthorne and Melville. Tracing the idea of the "Amer­Ican
Hero" through early American authors can, for example, be
useful. We can see that an Idea is arrived at, not pre-supposed,
in studing.
Now begins stage two of our study. We must oow .tudy to
express our idea, for the particular test. This stage demands memo
orIzation. After all the work of "stage one," a true-false test or
a multiple choice test is relatively simple to study for In staKe
two. It would be good to try a few "test questions" on ourselves.
But what about those essay questions, or commentaries on quotes?
We must memorize our ideas and the interrelationship which pro­duced
them, much as a geometrician has memorized theorems
and corollaries. Thus, when we meet a problem on a test, we will
be able Immediately to refer to our ideas and wory from there.
It would be a good thing, in concluding our study, to pose to our­selves
a sample test question to see how- well we would express
our ideas.
lbat plan for study is, as the nader has discovered, not a
"magic fonnula." But it is a proven method. It does work. One
Man refers you to Beau Belletzlde. In his freshman year he got
a 2.0 (5 C's). In his sophomore year, he worked within the above
mentioned study method, and earned a 3.8. It was a lot of work.
But if you wen to ask Beau, a senior now, what was his most
"worthwhile" year, he would tell that it was his sophomore
y.ear.
Let us not delude ourselves. Sometimes we get "straight mem­orization"
tests. Thank God these are few and far between. Some­times
aeter much work, we will arrive at an idea, based on facts.
The teacher will repudiate our Idea because it disag;-ees with
his opinion or feeling. Thank God that kind of teacher is rare. But
let us be reluctant to blame teachers - it is too easy to "cop-out."
And let us alwayS be grateful to the teacher who takes the time
to show us how our ideas may be Invalid. because they are really
DOt based on the facts of the study material.
The above study method has been "worked out" by One Man,
and by discussion with other students. Further discussion wt!b
the students, and the resultant Improvement of the study method,
would be sincerely welcome by One Man.

Dr. Barone said that "one

Revives Center Facilities
Zola's
When David Zola, the pres­ent
manager of the Campus
Center, assumed his duties last
year, he resurrected from the
tombs of oblivion a commlttee
long abandoned by the students
and Administration alike. Gar­nered
with a new title, the
Campus Center Facilities Re­view
Board is presently com­posed
of representatives of tbe
three segments of the Fairfield
community. Student reps in­clude:
Tom Bligh and Don Mc­Inerney,
class of '70: ChrIs

Jim Houlihan and Fran Mc­Kenna,

is represented by Fr. OUver
Nickerson, and the AdmInistra­tion
by Alumni Director, Mr.
Paul Greeley, and Assistant
Dean of Student Services, Mrs.
Anne Marie Samway. Pat Del­aney,
class of '72, Is the com­rmttee
chairman. Two additional
members are yet to be appoint­ed
by the faculty and student
body, class of '72.
The purpose of the Board is
to advise the Director in the
managing of the Campus Center
and ,thus to give all parties a
say In the use and functioning
of the building. This also in­cludes
all other Cacilities des­ignated
Cor non-academic use
by members of the Falrfl.eld
University community and their
guests.
One remarkable Innovation
that the Board bas achieved is
the convening a "public hear­ing"
concerning the use ot
campus facilities. The first In
an expeeted series of such
grievance sessions was held in
December, and more are ex­pected
to be held in the spring
semester. Recent activities of
the Board have Included: a
review, with Specialized Man­agement
officials, of the pres­ent
meal calendar and recom­mendations
for its improve­ment;

Thursday, February 26, to dis­cuss

interesl was in students major­Ing

Business.
One of their representatives.
Mr. Chris Michaels (a fonner
volunteer) said that their rea­sons
for stressing these areas
were twofold: first. the coun­tries
where volunteers are being
sent are requesting people with
degrees in these fields; second­ly,
these people haven't been

before.
When asked about the bene­flts
of serving two years In the

that through experience one
can become a better person and

he said some volunteers
have had bad experiences be­cause
they were unwilling to
accept new ideas and they didn't
"get into other people's cul­tures."
Mr. Michael's major griev­ance

Visconti's "The Damned" is one of the most effec·
tive comments on Nazi Germany that I have ever seen.
Basically, the story traces the rise of Nazi Germany
through the eyes of one of the most powerful families
of that time and conviction. It clearly shows the banal­ity
and bestiality of a country bent on world domina·
tion, and the ways one goes about accomplishing the
same.
1be rise of a nation infested
with demented mentalities is
done with historical accuracy
to a point, showing the fall as
something bizarre, which indeed
it was. The movie depicts the
execution scene of Hitler's SA
men, who were notorious Sand
M homosexuals, by the SS, an­other
favorite group of de
Fuehrer. There Is no reversion
to showmanship on the direc­tor's
part, relying mostly on
fact and editorial comment be­tween
the lines. At one point,
the second most powerful man
jn Nazi Germany seduces his
mother, a mere three or four
scenes after he rapes a six-year­old
Jewess, which leads to her
eventual suicide.
Visconti speaks of unspeak­able
subjects, and does so with
the delicacy of a genius. He
never offends his audience, but
many times he Shocks them Into

sickest phenomenas ever to grip

to its fine pitching. Mr. C. Donald Cook, now in his
fifth year as baseball coach at Fairfield, believes that
the pitching must come through for the Stags to win.
Last year the team led all major colleges in New Eng­land
with a .276 batting average, however. the Stags
lost 3 more games than they won. Coach Cook is op­timistic
and hopes the team will not SUffer. from tl~e
injuries it did last year, when the Stags lost SlX of their
starters.
Pitching I. Key
The fine crop of pitchers are led by returning let­termen
Bob Gibson (co~captain) and Jim Tully. Gibson,
who missed half of last season, is now in the hospital
recovering from stomach problems. The hope is that
he will be ready soon. Tully gained a great deal of
experience l~t year an~ this should aid hi!U greatly
in the upcomIng campaign. Coach Cook believes that
sophomore Jim McGintee "must make the. difference."
McGintee had a sore arm last faJ) and hIS ann must
come around, if the Stags are going to win. Another
sophomore is Hank Dunphy. Coach Cook believes that
Dunphy must realize his own potential, if he is to be­come
a good pitcher. He is a strikeout artist and since
the pitching staff only registered 70 strikeouts last
year the total will rise, if Dunphy can produce. Another
sophomore pitcher is Pete Begley, who according to
Mr. Cook "throws hard, but must find the plate."
This year for the first time freshmen will be per­mitted
to play Varsity ball. An outstanding prospect
in the pitching department is Al Gabriele, who had
the lowest ERA of any pitcher on the team this past
fall. Another fine freshman pitcher is Mike Yates.
Although the Stags lost three of last year's top
hitters, this year's offensive attack has several bright
spots. Stan Nonnan, who hit .350 last season and led
the team in RBI's is back and more of the same is ex­pected
from him. Bob Dillon, a freshman drafted by
the Detroit Tigers, was the leading hitter last fall. He
plays both first base and catcher and has a very strong
arm. "1 hope Dillon will make up the power lost by
the graduation of Granata and Giusti." Also, he doesn't
strike out too much for a ballplayer his size. Ken Lam­fero
is another power hitter that Coach Cook is hoping
will produce. However, Lanifero must become more
consistent and cut down on his strikeouts. Coach Cook
categorizes Jim Monahan as a "hungry" hitter with a
big swing who must also cut down on his strikeouts.
Finch • Clutch Hitter
Another fine hitter that has recently come into his
own is Bob Castrignano, a second baseman. Castrignano
hit .290 last fall and now believes in himself as a hitter.
Because of last year's strong outfield, Bob Azzara was
unable to break the starting lineup. When injuries hit
the club. Azzara stepped in and did an outstanding
job. Catcher Tom Finch, who hit .345 before an injury
last season, is the best clutch hitter on the club. Finch
has a great arm and is an excellent handler of pitchers.
The infield will be ted by Eddie Wargo, who
Coach Cook terms as "the best defensive shortstop
Fairfiel5i has ever had." Wargo's hitting must improve,
if he is to be a good number two hitter. Other fine pros­pects
are Kevin McKee, a freshman, who playS second,
short and third. McKee has a "very smooth glove," but
needs improvement at the plate, Dan Sullivan is also
a freshman, who is a good defensive outfielder with
fine speed.
The Stag Nine leaves for Florida either March
26th or 27th to complete their spring training. The
Stags, while in Florida will take on two professional
Class A teams. Coach Cook is very optimistic about
this upcoming season and is expecting improvements
by the Stags in all aspects of their game.
