litical and more respected by
both the student body and the
administration. In past years,
the government has been rela­tively
inetIective, partially due
to lack of stUdent support and
their own petty quarrels and
power struggles. The Admlnis·
tration, of course, has neither
helped us in our struggle nor
have they passively allowed us
to assume those responsibilities
which are rightfully ours and
those which we are willing to
accept. This, too, is partially
our fault. With all their educa­tion
and experience, it is hard
to believe that the Administra­tion,
when negotiating, Is only
seriously willing to listen to the
President when he can tell them
that the student body as a
whole is ready to take necessary
steps to acompllsh the goals
which we have set out to ac­complish.
The idea of tri-partlte, with
Administration, Faculty and
Students sharing the burdens
and responsibilities of universi­ty
life is a fine and noble con­cept,
but this concept implies
that the three parties are equal
partners. Can we honestly say
that the Student Body is an
equal parmer with the Adminis­tration
and the Faculty? Do we
have the power to make, en­force
and adjudicate the rules
in the dormitories? Do not Mr.
Schimpf and Mr. Krell assist us
too much in these affairs? Are
we only to rule on minor mat­ters
which Mr. Krell considers
us capable enough to handle?
I feel that we are not equal
partners in Ttl-Partite or any
other council until we have
jurisdiction over our one-third
of the University.
The most pressing issue on
this campus right now is the
formation of the core curricu­lum.
On this issue, It is my con­tention
that Mr. Gallagher has
misinterpreted the role of the
Administration in the fanning
of the curriculum. While It is
true that the administration has
a veto over the faculty's de­cisions
on curriculum, they have
never exe.rcised this veto and
it seems unlikely tha t they will
start now. This would be especi­ally
true if the faculty and stu­dents
were to come to an agree­ment.

Since then our Social system

not. I voted AGAINST the Com­promise
last year because it
skirted the issue of Student
Power.
A Community psychology has
begun to take root at Fairfield,
and it will grow only if Students
become a part of the decision
making aparatus at this Uni­versity.
Rubber stamp sounding
boards are no longer tenable.
The Financial Board that dis­solved
last week was an excel­lent
example of what It means
to sit on a board where your
advice is constantly ignored,
but your presence is needed to
satisfy a facade of Community.
Community means more than
common concerns or rhetoric; it
means a sharing In the direc­tion
of the institution, and equal
respect for the ideas of all
members. I belieVE: the esta~
lishment of a binding Tti-Par­tite
to be a necessity if this
campus is to lose its totalitari­an
and unacceptable air.
Our Constitution states that
the Legislature will "Determine
Disciplinary and Social Codes
of the Student Association."
This is a claim to power, to
autonomy in Student Life, but
reality shows it to be a mere
claim. The Social refonns were
not enacted under the power of
the Legislature, but were "ap­proved"
by the Dean of Stu­dent
Services. My opponent
stated in an open letter that
"We already have autonomy in
the donns," yet a canvass of the
Dorm Councilors will negate
that claim. They are severly re­stricted
by rules that they did
not make, and merely stating
that they are autonomous will
not alter the fact that they arc
not. Any board that Is estab­lished

This questionnaire was taken
in order to discover the general
mood of the present college gen­eration
concerning religion, the
racial issue, the war in Viet­nam,
marijuana, the draft, and
college education (In particular
at Fairfield University). There
was a 71% return of the ques­tionnaires,
one given to every
sophomore. The survey was
taken of this class in particular
for a number of reasons. The
sophomores have become some­what
accustomed to "college
life" as perhaps many of the
freshmcn have not as yet. Also
this class does not have gradua­tion
in their immediate future
as many seniors and some jun­iors.
Finally, due to the board­ing
situation of this university
the sophomores were more easi_
ly accessible than the juniors.
There were some answers on
individual questionnaires which
were left blank. Many answers
were either a simple "yes" or
"no" reply and at times many
couldn't respond legitimately
with such a simple answer.

All his life Jack bas had the

his past, the normal tourist act,

The trip to Ireland is any­thing

The play was based on the
reactions of tavern characters
to th~ death of John F. Ken_
nedy, in McDonnell's native
Elizabeth, New Jersey.
Though the tone and back­ground
of the two plays differ
greatly, both are threaded with
McDonnell's peculiar sensitivity
to the Irish rationale and with
generous portions of bitin& Irish
humor.
"Miss O"·is much more of a
1>hilosophical exercise than was
"All Gods," asserting as It does
that it is Man and not God
who creates human problems.
And Miss 0 herself, played by
Miriam McCann, is the play's

Prof. McDonnell's 'Miss 0'
Scores Big Success In Festival
One of the highlights of the
past FaU's Dublin Theatre Fes­tival
in Ireland was a produc­tion
entitled "Miss 0," written
by a young Irish-American play­wright
by the likely name of
Michael McD:>nneli.
For McD:>nnell, a Bridgeport
resident and assistant professor
ot English at Fairfield Univer­sity
where he teaches Irish lit­erature,
this latest success has
menat a nomination for a Gug­genheim
Fellowship that would
enable him to take a sabbatical
from the classroom to devote
his fuJI energies to writing. His
work thus far certain:y seems
to merit it.
"Miss 0" is the author's first
three--act play, a fact that
speaks well for McDonnell when
one considers that critics ..In­gled
out its virtues from among
many of the English-speaklng
world's best popular and ex­perimental
plays at the festival.
This year's festival also
brought the considerable talents
of such people as Peter O'Toole
and Susannah York to Ireland's
capitaL
It was not, however, McDon­nell's
first success at the fes­tival.
In 1966, his "All Gods
Die on Friday," Walt selected
as the outstanding one-act play
of the year and awarded the
O. Z. Whitehead prize.
Critics greeted the play with
such remarks as: "The charac­ters
are brought to squirming
life by a gift for pungent and
frequently very funny d·alogue."
Another critic, writing for the
lriIb 8uncl&y Press, said: "Not

half of the economy, and
possess fifteen times the ma­terial
goods of the remaining

of the American group
would be 71 years, that of the
remainder of the cross-section
would average only 40 years.
This, to Mr. Coffin, represents
violence, and illustrates the fol­ly
of defining violence by strict­ly
physical terms.
And yet in spite of such c0n­ditions,
man continues to wor­ship
Idols in our society: "We
praise mod ern production,
whose pollution has obscured
the sun and stars. This Is not
poetic license, this is an idol
which has made our cities un_
liveable."
"Jesus took on the law and
order of the pharisees. The law
which was sUPlKlSed to serve
man had begun to rule him.
The Sabbath belongs to man.
He said, and not man to the
Sabbath. As long as the values
of a highly developed techno­logical
society remain intact
. .. man belongs to technoiogy,
and not technology to man."
Nikita Khruschev earned Rev.
Corrin's praise for his role In
the Cuban missile crisis, while
Pres. Kennedy was criticized.
"Had (Kennedy) withdrawn hls
missiles, as did Khruschev, he'd
have been impeached." Coffin
ridiculed the comment of Dean
Rusk, then Secretary of State;
"We saw eyeball to eyeball, and
the other fellow blinked."
"U high noon involvem':!nts

then we need. to redefine
manhood," the chaplain said.
In conclusion, Rev. Coffin
sought a more definite role for
the non-violent reformer of so­ciety:
"If the aim Of non-violence Is
reconciliation and healing ...
the emphasis must not be on
being right, but on being ac­cording
to a' principle which
holds for all time. Quoting Mo­handas
Gandhi, he said we
need a truth "as true for our
adversaries as it is for us," so
that we may live by principles
"that allow all men to rise
above their present conditions."

By JOKS G. LEDDY
"I will live to Sei.' the good­ness
of the Lord in the land of
the living."
With this note, the Reverend
William Sloane Coffin, Yale
Chaplain and anti-draft conspir­acy
defendant, launched into a
scintillating and witty attack
upon all those sectors of society
which employ violence to reach
their ends.
He deftned non-violence as
"not only a refusal to do viol­ence,
but a detennination not to
violate the integrity of another
human being, one's own integ­rity
Included."
"According to that deftnition
we all come out pretty violent,
particularly in religious com­munities
... (where) self de­nial
takes the place of self­d:
scovery . . . self involve­ment;"
where men employ "mo­ralistic
tenor instead of ethical
suasion."
Hate In Rel.lgtoua Lov.
"In every religion of love
there's hate. Some self-seeking
is involved. Instead of examin­ing
ourselves we repress our·
selves. (But) whatever is forc­ed
down eventually comes up
again. It eventually comes out
in the form of misplaced viol­ence;"
Thus, the anti-Semite hates
the Jew because he can't bear
the inner feeling that his God
was born a Jew; middle class
youth hates middle class values
because they can't rid them·
selves of them.
To solve the problem created
by this duality, Rev. Coffin re­ferred
to Erik Erikson. "It Is
all right to ha\'e ambivalent
feelings. What's wrong is to pre­tend
not to have them." The
alternative is not innocence but
holiness; described by Coffin as
"an effort to bring into one
whole the sensual, logical, and
ethical senses of our own na­ture
to judge and sense our
aspirations for the future."
The Reverend Coffin made his
remarks as part of the Bellar­mine
Lecture Series in the Oak
Room on the 17th of February.
He spoke to a brimming oudi·
ence of about 600 students and
teachers from the Bridgeport
area.
He turned from his advice to
individuals to an attack upon
institutions which embody their
ambivalent feelings and sup­pressed
violence.
"Individuals can be outwardly
orderly and Inwardly violent;
so too can structures. If vio)­ence
violates human integrity,
so any university, business, or
government structure (are thus
violent) if they prevent man
from fulfilling himself." The at­titude
of any victim of such
structures must be that of the
Biblical Elijah, Mr. Coffin went
on to say, who, when described
as a 'troubler or peace' by King
Ahab, the very man whose im­morality
he confronted, rebuked
him: "It is not I, it is thou.
You have forsaken God's com­mand.
Your kingdom Is an es­tablished
disorder."
The reverend's definition of
violence had by now been ex­pandOO.
He quoted statistics
that show that if 1,000 people
were chosen as a cross section
of the world, the sixty that

February 25, 1970 THE STAG Page Five
The emphasis on this campus seems to be one of protesting
one's innocence rather than anything of greater honor. The Fal_
statrlan concept of honor fares well at Fairfield, and certainly,
this is a poor criterion of acceptance among fellow peers. But, of
late, I feel that one of us has been defiled without cause, I'm re-­felTing
to Bob Murphy, a member of the class of '71. Mr. Murphy
has been accused of political opportunism, racism, and last, but
certainly not least, of dishonor. He has been accused of these
atrocities in the midst of foreigners to his cause. He docs, indeed,
give the impression of all these, but I am of the belief that there
is more to this man than just what we myopically see. I believe,
above all else about him, that he is an honorable person, and as
such, has been unjustly crillcized. After talking with him at some
length, I have come to the opinion, that he Is an honest person,
of honorable Intent, even If what he seeks Isn't exactly what I
am striving for. Having been accused of racism, he sought an
audience before the Afro-Am society - something I'm sure few
of us would do. He even approached a group of his arch enemies­politically
of course - and spent the time and effort explaining
his position to deaf ears. I believe that such a person deserves
the credit of being called honorable, despite what one may thInk
about his policies,
Mr. Murphy has been eve:- constant In his expediencies, and
because of this, he has found himself the object of much con­troversy.
It is because he has allowed himself to become such an object
that I would find it hard to vote for him for any office. I don't
think he Is capable of co~manding respe<:t or nominating author­Ity
from his person. He has been utterly ill advised in his politic-­lng,
hesitating and even hedging on many important Issues here
at Fairfield University, and should now resign himself to his self­earned
political obscurity.
Bob Murphy has become an Identity on this campus, and
what is worse, he has become an alter ego even to himself. But.
there is more to the man than only that. It Is this more which I
would point out.
His policies are too moderate to be considered useful for
possible reform on this campus. It has been proven time and time
again that you can't work through the Sl'"Stem on this campus, and
you're foolish to think you can. His intentions devalue themselves
in light of this, and I don't understand why he can't see this as
so. His strivings become meaningless in the wake of his failures.
H's honor becomes defiled in the storms of meaningful radicalism.
So, we must leave the Bob Murphys behind; leaving them to wonder
why, when all their Intentions were honorable 008.

A Nation, a government, a re­public,
as dynamic as the United

Its orientation on the people
who compose it. When one
speaks of a nation's domestic

primary concern should be the

a nation gets involved with
foreign policy to an extent that
it overlooks domestic problems.
Our government should con­centrate
more on the relation
of people to other people by

people ean express and relate
themselves to others. This Is
basic to any group of people. A

The major domestic problems

the federal government to
Ignore the cities" at this time
would prove to be catastrophic
for the cities, and by extentlon,
the country. Therefore, in order
to properly attack the major
domestic priorities of the coun­try
the government should ~
QiRize the needs in the cities.
I feel that the prime Issue
of the 70's Is going to be the
Issue of law and order. The
United States ended the 60's
with a groundswell of support
for law and order and swept
Nixon-Agnew in the hopes of
their reversing the trend ~
wards violence. The only ef­fective
means of dealing with
this law and order problem Is
to confront it at its strongest
point: i.e. the cities. If the cities
are given more help to attack
the growing crime rate then
the country will beneftt as a
whole.
Following the law and order
question In our priorities should
be the pollution question. By
the late 60's this problem was
listed as one of the primary
problems facing our major
citles. The government must as·
sume the lead In dealing with
this problem and must take
both a regulatory and a finan­cially
supporting role In as­suring
that our cities resolve
their problem adequately and
swiftly,
It should be self-evident that
the nation must orient its d<>­mestic
programs in tenns of Its
cities. By partially assuming the
financial burden of solving
these problems and relegating
the authority of working out
the solutions to the individual
cities the country might best
atack these outlined problems
and solve them adequately. The
question of individual priorities
Is academic. The fact that tllese
problems must be dealt with by
the aid of the cities Is crucial
ot an adequate and comprehen­sive
effort to solve our many
domestic problems.

The United States today
faces a multitude of problems
(as it always has), m'l"l)' of
Wilich threaten her very exist­ence.
It Is dirric....lt to iJelllily
and to put Into some sort of
o,·,jer, the most Important onC'S.
but by the use of the following
criterion I think I ean beKin to
sort things out. Which of these
problems, if solved do I feel
will destroy America first
Of paramou-:-.l· !mportance Is
the solution to the war In Viet­nam.
I think that Wltil this con­flict
Is resolved no serious and
meaningful work on the other
problelTll can be done. The war
Is consuming a staggering
amount of hWJ).llll life and con­cern
and a totally dispropor­tionate
amount of American
dollars. Its continuation is so
sapping the Intellectual and
economic resources of this
country that unless our involve­ment
is stopped, our problems
will eonsume us.
TI\ese other problems are (in
order of their priority): 1. In­fation,
2. Urban Redevelopment
and Poverty, 3. Population Con­trol,
4. Environmental PurifiCa­tion
and 5. Resource Conserva­tion.
I think these five problems
are fundamental threats to our
very exlstence, both as a na­tion
and as Individuals. The
problems of inflation control
and urban redevelopment and
poverty (and by this I mean
racial bigotry, education. un­employment,
crime, housing,
and the thousands of other
problems facing our dties) are
threatening our existence as a
nation. If Whites will ~ to
accept and respect blacks and
to share with them equally the
opportunities for employment,
edueation, housing and self­respect;
if blacks in twn will
continue in their efforts to at­tain
these same goals, we can
start to find solutions.
It is my opinion that the A­merican
government's lack of
action concerning the problems
of overpopulation, environmen­tal
pollution and resource ex­ploitation
borders on criminal
negllgence. The first three prob­lems
I have mentioned are being
dealt with with some energy,
but the three latter points are
being all but Ignored. I, un­fortunately,
do not have the
space to recount the staggering
statistics concerning these prob­lems,
but I do have the space
to urge every reader of this
paper to look Into these prob­lems.
If we, as minute individu­als,
feel we can do nothing
about most of the major prob­lems
In America today, we can,
at least, do something about
overpopulation. It is our respon­sibility
to our children to do all
we can.

To the Editor:
Over the past five years or so, there

tradition whieh has become a part of
the standard operating procedure of our
university. In the middle of September
the student body is infonned that
WVOF, the campus radio station, will
be broadcasting at 900 kilocycles on the
A.1I,t dial, and will present music and
campus info:mation for the enjoyment
and edification of the community. For
a perled of time, never more than seven
da)'s in length. the students, particularly
the freshmen, listen in hopes of seeing
lhe station's promises fulfilled. After
nauSea sets In. they wisely return to the
inane drivel of such superior stations as
W,\BC AM. The Voice of Fairfield then
languishes in obscurity until the advent
of the basketball season.
Last winter, at the annual Radio Club
elections. there was the promise of bet­ter
days. Plans were made for a carrier­current
system and a new broadcasting
location. The failu~e of the club's execu­tive
board to smoothly carry out this
promise and its subsequent lack of re­sponsibility
has prompted me to end my
twc;)'ear association with the organiza­tion.

The station was off the air for the
greater part of the first semester due
to the failure of its olTicers to prepare
cont;ngcmcy broadcasting plans in the
event of a delay in the transferral of its
studio. The malfeasance of the executive
beard borders on the criminal when one
considers the promises they made and
the power entrusted to them by the
members of the club.
Several months ago the station ran a
week-iong marathon In an attempt to
raise funds and promote its cause. The
publicity stunt was well-timed, as the
Black takeover of XaVier Hall presented
an excellent opportuntty to show the

The Oracle Revisited
By RICH ZOGAL
ELEGY TO DR. GRASSI
"Y('s, yes. . ah, yes I \mow th(' man," was the reply a
comrad(' had r('ccntly made to me wh('n asked If he was acquainted
with a particular "personality." Needless to say, I had chosen to
let loose, or sail adrift as the saying goes, on a topic of conversa·
tion, which I must admit, is on the mInds of many a student here
at '01 Fairfieid. Undoubtedly, the sett;ng and mood of the locality
was sheer inspiration to sea:-ching Intellects. (We had met in a
local gin mill.)
This personagc, I might add, was a true comrade-in-anns, a
veritable "good time Charly," a frier.d whom you could surely
depend on in case you were coerced into brushing up on the "bud·
dy" system in your n('ighbor's pool. This was a man in whom I
had the deepest trust, a man who would sacrtfice all, and without
the least of reservations, gladly confide m me,
And so we began our conversation. It follows . . .
"Dr. Grassi," grimaced Joe Loof, "Is a 'good' man. I truly
admire the fellow. Why he is everything the typically conservative,
static, dull·witt('d, 'dog--collared' dl~hard of a pupil dreams of
becoming. How could it Ix' oth('rwise? I am positive, and adamant
in my opinion. that he is the Idol of minons of Fairfield scholars.
Look at his credcntials. A Ph.D. in Philoso;Xiy and the chainnan
ot his department. Incidentaliy, a struggling, completely absurd,
and an extremely dt'Sperate all--out sales pitch of a d~partment
which most assuredly has the unfathomable herculean dilemma
of endeavoring to shackle unwary and misinformed students Into
the ever-binding shackles of Its domain."
By this tim(' I was on thc threshold of complete revelry, even
to the pinnacle of naus('a. Still the talk continued . . .
"Look at lhe character, mentality, and pe:-sonality of the
man. Why he Is Apollo personified, an erudite man of letters, a
white pillar of wisdom, a respectable gentleman, an arrogant yet
consid('rate intellectual, a Romeo of the philosophical spirit,"
After h('aring all this and knowing the nature of the man,
my solc reaction was on(' of utter stu['ll"raction. "Could this be th('
same Dr. Grassi I was familiar with, Surely not," thought I, for
this portrait of him was in complete contract to that image In the
'real' world:'
So after hearing this extendcd ('ulogy, and I might add sheer
nopsense, I came to the most logical and yet unusual conclu.<;ion
ever conceived. My comrade was simply a "chump," He _,
beyond the least uncertainty In this assumption, "drunk as a
skunk," as the cliche goes. Completely Inebriated, a onc(' sober
and intelligent rationality had been twisted Into the contortions of
untold madn('ss.
So needs must w(' bow our heads In sorrow for a victim or
the most disastrous calamity. A mind of the profoundest intellec­tuality,
logic, and veracity had been hurled into the dismal shadows
of unconscious insanity and pandemonium. Ultimately, I fell prey
to a catastrophl(' sentiment of sympathy for my friend. For now
he was a creature of the ncetum, clutched into the devastatin&'
tentacles of Intoxication. Fate alone, now held the balance.

THE STAG
Last week, 73 faculty members signed a petition that called for
an across-the-board increase in salaries. As this editorial goes to press,
they await a reply from the University President expected to take the
form of a rejection.
Certainly the faculty desperately needs the money. Per capita
income for this county - home of most faculty, the nation's most
affluent and one of its most expensive - rose 64.2% in the 1960s;
but the cost of living index kept in hot pursuit, rising 8.1% in 1968-69
alone. Teachers' salaries - especially here - have risen by nowhere
near 64.2%. Buying power, tied to increments based on obsolete eco­nomic
projections and militant frugality, has declined. The inevitable
exodus of highly-praised but sorely-pressed faculty has already
begun.
An interesting parallel is underway at the University of Bridge­port.
There, a $250 tuition hike was announced, ostensibly for faculty
salaries. There, the faculty organized itself and demanded $720,000
The Real Winner
The biggest winner in last week's primary were the students
themselves. 955 of them voted - an outright majority of their total
number and a record. When one considers it was in fact only a
primary, it is an even more powerful litmus test of student interest.
If there was a loser, it was the elections provision of the Student
Government Constitution. Heeding its literal formalities held up the
elections for two days, and its runoff provision forces Mr. Gallagher,
who got an outright 52 percent, to engage in an anticlimactic runoff.
A valuable week has been wasted - a week that prolongs Mr. Ma­riani's
lame-duck status, that prolongs the interregnum between ad­ministrations,
and that puts the new President in even more of a bind
dealing with the March 15 deadline for academic change. This section
of the Constitution needs amending.
The New SAM
The Student Action Movement was formed in the fall of 1967
with considerable fanfare. It soon dissolved out of fragmentation. The
Fairfield chapter of Students for a Democratic Society formed in the
fall of 1968 with considerable fanfare. It soon dissolved out of hos­tility
and official harassment.
Things have changed. Many of those original activists have
matriculated, soured on change, or joined the Student Government.
The Government itself is no longer the experiment in junior citizen­ship
it had long been. But many students remain outside it, longing
for off-campus activity and more radical approaches within the
university.
Now, there is a new Student Action Movement, founded under
the auspices of John Mekrut. Its first meeting was less swamped than
the other two, but there is a sounder prescription for success. For
one, Mr. Mekrut has experience in the Government and Moratorium
and has extensive contacts to call on for aid and projects. For an­other,
SAM took a quick action in endorsing the faculty salary drive.
We hope SAM meets with success.
ED. NOTE: Letters to the EdItor do not reflect Stag
policy. They should be brief and direct. We reserve the right
to edit letters. Authors will be notified when possible. All
letters must be signed. Names will be withheld upon worthy
request. Columns do not reflect Stag policy. Editorials reflt-ct
the consensus of the EdItorial Board. The Editorial Manager
authors them except in extraordinary cases,
in raises under implied threats of strike. Collective bargaining has
be~un, and will inevitably extract money Bridgeport's administration
insisted it could not give before.
In all this, students and faculty are in the same boat. A student
pays more tuition year by year, yet as he goes along security and
maintenance decline and his financial aid is cut back - by no acci­dent.
A faculty member. if he does not wish to commute, must live
and raise children under the worst inflationary spiral in the nation's
history. He must incur debts while he sees teachers from Warde and
Ludlowe live better than he does. And he must endure. as in De­cember,
1968, the announcement of a tuition increase for faculty
salaries, which he knows is untrue.
A university is an academic experiment involving faculty and
students. Their needs and wants should always have top priority;
but as costs go up and both segments voice their gripes about the
inadequacy of their welfare. it seems increasingly obvious that Fair­field's
priorities have been altered somewhere along the way.
Independent Studies
The most surprising factor about the proposed Independent
Studies program is the fact that it has been done by freshmen.
The authoritative research of successful programs elsewhere and
the compelling urgency of its persuasion are visible and impressive
proof that the Class of 1973 has an untapped potential for leadership.
Alarmed by widespread alienation in its own ranks about Fairfield's
academic retardation and motivated by the long duration ahead of
them here. the pro${ram's authors have committed themselves to
meanin~ful and rapid change. Their commitment deserves instant
recognition from all segments of the University. Their initial response
from Fr. McInnes - that as President he could not approve it but
he could deal with anyone who perturbed him in pushing it - is
hardly the way to nourish nascent idealism. It is hopeful, however,
that other avenues will open up for these students who mean to prove
to us that, for Fairfield, innovation requires imitation. Father McInnes
himself opened up one such avenue by endorsing the program in a
letter to Dr. Garrity.

For my part, I do.
Something Unspoken
"Something Unspoken", dJ­recled
by Albert DeFabio, acted
as prologue, in a sense, to "Sud­denly
Last Summer". Janet
Smith, playing the part of Miss
Grace Lancaster was superb.
She was shy and lost to the
love that so orten characterizes
the author's plays_ Her confu­sion
was acutely felt and she
made the audience aware of the
sensitivities of a wasting rela­tionship.
Irene Quinlivan was
also good, but sometimes found
trouble articulating the proper
emotions of her role. She lacked
a forcefulness that should de
fine her personality. Aside from
this though, she was earnest and
trying.
For the authors part, the dia­logue
was sometimes too osten­tatious
and facaded. However,
this short of Broadway, that's
really not all that bad.
Post SCript
I hesitated to include this
comment in my main criticism.
but I feel it does deserve men·
tion. Shirley Marye playing the
part of Miss Foxhlll in "Sudden­ly
Last Summer" was as campy
as any Jack Benny I've ever
seen. Her accent was precious
and secretaryish. I only hope
we see more of her in the
future.
What Williams' had pMposed
to tell. the characters had more
than a vague notion of what It
was; the story of human can­nibalism
on almost all of Its
levels. Wiliams is a homosexual
(and by the way, a rCCClnt con­vert
to Catholicism, claiming
direct descendence from some
Jesuit or other), so this might
shed better light on his vision
- no pun intended. I'm not
saying his vision was a pervert­ed
one, but rather only a h0mo­sexual
one. One should always
try to be liberal with Williams.
He sees a negative God mani­fest
in all of us, and that our
vision of Him in all his spendor
is nothing short of evil and
ugliness. Man is always seek­ing
to rectify this vision, and
some do it by living the poets
life. The character Sebastian.
whom the audience never sees
but only hears about, Is a homo­sexual
(what a coincidence)
who uses his mother and later,
his cousin for procurring young
boys for him, to form "his en­tourage."
Through bizarre-like
desciptions, at times genlusly
delivered, and accuracy of
statement, Williams paralyzes
a truth about what we are all
about; namely, that 'truth Is
at the bottom of a bottomless
well". U the audience can ac­cept
this statement as being
true in so much that It does
at least exist for some, then
Williams has succeeded and, in
or you'll pardon such an ex­pression)
Williams' story with
much professionalism. The only
thing that could have made
them more credible would have
been more makeup. They both
looked as if they should have
been five years older. But, that's
only a minor objection, attribut­able,
no doubt, to lack of money
and nearness to broadway.
C'est Ia vie.

Of T. Williams' Play As 'Good'
By DOUG MENAGH
to be his name when they re­corded
"Hey SChoolgirl" under
the billing of Tom and Jerry
many years ago. "'The Boxer"
touchingly tells the familiar
story of the washed-up pugilist
who finds that the only thing
that he can do successfully is
bash another person's brains in.
Paul Simon recently made
the statement that he no longer
writes songs when under the
innuence of marijuana because
he found that when he was
'''smoking'' everything he wrote
seemed good to him. Perhaps
this Is the reason for a seeming
lack of good judgment in the
selection of songs for the duo's
album. Let's hope that most of
the songs on their new album
were written before Simon
made this resolution and that
we can hope for more consis­tency
from them in the future.

Under the direction of Miss
Vera Meyers, I saw another
performance of Tennessee Wil­liams'
play "Suddenly Last
Summer". I must admit though,
the last versIon I saw was the
everlastingly fine one engaged
by such notables as Katherine
Hepburn, Montgomery Cliff and
Elizabeth Taylor. Now that my
prejudices have been acknow·
ledged, perhaps we can talk
about what I considered a
"good" performance of "Sud­denly
Last Summer". A fine
round of applause goes to a
woman I've never met but feel
like I've known for twenty
years (thanks Mom, wherever

It was good.

Believe it or not. I do not
consider this a bad album. In
fact. if it was by a new group
I would probably be praising it
and suggesting that you
should go out and buy the al­bum.
But I am speaking about
Simon & Gartunkel and I have
come to expect much more from
them. Even if they put out two
albwns a year, this offering
might be excusable. But the
fact is that they put out an
album about every two years
and thus each album should be
almost perfect.
Not to be completely deroga­tory,
however, there are some
excellent songs on the album.
"Bridge Over Troubled Waters"
Is one of the best songs that
Simon & Garfunkel has ever
done. ''The Only Living Boy In
New York" depicts Paul SI­mon's
loneliness when Art Gar-­funkel
went down to Mexico to
film Catch·22. In this song it Is
interesting that he alludes to

As the Intramural Basketball

undefeated in league
competition. The combines from
ND-4 and e-J lead the National
League with identical W rec­ords,
while the "Pubs" from
NO-3 are tied for the lead in
the American League with W,

In the National League, last
week's action showed the b:::lys
from C3 beating the P.K.T.
Fraternity by a 48-32 s..".O!'e.
Doug Wilcox was high for the
C-3ers, as Denny Donavan tal·
lied 13 for the losers. NO-4,
meanwhile, kept pace by whip­ping
R.-3 by a 65-46 count, U
Ozzle Pisarri and Phil Stahlman
forgot to show up for the con·
test. Due to a lack of com­munication,
the dynamic duo
were nowhere to be found when
the game started. The same
goes for Ray Cristofellettl who
was also absent. Nevertheless,
No.4 managed to hold on to
a 25-22 half-time lead as Jack
Matthews, Tom m yEaton,
Woody Long, Jim Cbnena, and
"Natie-.Bumpo" held R-3 off.
The No.4 fans managed to find
Ray C. in time for the second
half, and ND-4 pulled aWa)'

Jim Cimena was hiih for the 1-- ,
fine game olf the boards and

Romano and Groom had 18
points each.
Duffy had his best night of
the year scoring 30 points as
Fairfield beat New Haven 71­61
on February 18 at Fairfield.
It was a close game through­out
the first half; the period
ended 34-32 Falrfteld on top.
In the second baH the Stags
outscored their opponents 37­29.
Duffy teamed up with Groom
to score 57 of the 71 Fairfield
points.
Dr. William George, presi­dent

Alumni Association, has an­nounced
the school's 10 all-time
basketball greats, recently vot­ed

The squad, honored at half­time
of Fairfield University's
February 13 game against Holy
Cross College, was headed by
top vote-getter and former Lit­tle
All-American Mike Branch
('66) of New Haven, now tour­ing
with the Harlem Wizards.
Branch, one of the nation's top
collegiate rebounders through­out
his varsity tenure, amassed
1,113 C4I'C<!r points and a single
season high 404 rebounds.

Stags the win at the buzzer,

the season, 39 points. The first
half was all Army. Only Groom
could hit consistently. In the
second half the Stag bench
came in to help. With four min­utes

Two other forwards deserve

First Come, FirAt Serve
Another major problem with the ticket system is
the seating arrangement at the New Haven Arena. The
Basketball team needs support, thus the fans came out
for the Niagara game in full force. However, there was
one small problem. All the Stag fans were spread
throughout the Arena. Why can't Fairfield students sit
in one section? Well, Mr. Peck says Season Ticket
holders are all in one section, and that an other tickets
are on a first come, first serve basis. Therefore when
the people of Norwalk bought 500-600 tickets for the
Niagara game (a minimum estimate), they all were
placed in the same section, because they bought them
in a single block. Why can't tickets be reserved for
students who will buy them, so we can all sit together?
How can you mount any type of cheer. when you are
not in a unified group? But of course it is first come.
first serve and the ticket department is doing us a big
favor in just giving us any seat. even if it is in the
midst of 600 Calvin Murphy fans.
I hope the ticket department re·evaluates its or·
ganiz.ation. It also better stop pointing the finger at
the Stag fans for being apathetic and ask themselves
if they are not the ones that are apathetic.
Tickets
Last Tuesday afternoon I went to the Athletic Of­fice
with several friends to purchase tickets for the
Fairfield-Manhattan game. which was played this past
Saturday at l\'fadison Square Garden. When I arrived
at the ticket window. I was informed that all Manhat­tan
tickets had been sent back to l\hdison Square Gar­den
that morning. The reason I was given was that all
the tickets for that game had to be back at the Garden
by Thursday. Therefore. many other Stag basketball
fans and I that had intended to purchase these tickets
had no tickets to buy.
This I believe to be a great injustice to all students
at Fairfield University. Not because the tickets were
sent back, but because of the lack of publicity given
to this fact. I discussed this problem with the Director
of Public Information, Mr. Richard Peck. Mr. Peck in­formed
me that the tickets had been on sale for a
month previous and that it was up to the individual
student to inquire about this fact. He implied that the
ticket office was doing Ug a favor to have away game
tickets and it was up to the student to come to the
Gym in advance to get these tickets.
No Publicity
This fact should have been publicized. There can
be no excuse that this was an away game. Last year
Fairfield played St. Peter's at Madison Square Garden
and it was a home game. Therefore, if the Stags came
and bought tickets last year for a home game at Madi­son
Square Garden, these same fans surely were going
to buy tickets for an away game at the same location.
Many students went to the ticket window and were
told the same thing. Many Stags were planning to go.
The tickets were $1.50 at Fairfield. These same tickets
were sold for $5.00 at l\ladison Square Garden. The
General Admission tickets were $3.00. The majority
of the students 1 spoke with were unwilling to pay the
$3.00 or 15.00 for the game. therefore they did not go.
Now, the people in the Athletic Department and mem­bers
of the Fairfield BasketbaJl team may continue to
cry out that the Stags are apathetic. They may cry out
that there is proof of this apathy in the fact that there
were not many tickets sold to Sta~ fans for this game
and that not many Stags were at the Garden Saturday.
Well, if they are living under this assumption, they bet­ter
re·evaluate their reasons for this.
Many of the Stags that did go to the game arrived
at 2 :30 p.m. Game time was 1 :~O p.m. Why did these
students arrive at 2 :30. why did they not know when
the game started? The answer is a simple one. There
was no publicity. they were not told. Of course if they
cared, which they of course do not, these Fairfield stu­dents
would have run over to the Athletic Office their
first day back from semester break to find out. 1 firmly
believe Mr. Peck, since he is in charge of public infor­mation.
should have at least informed the Stag about
the ticket inforr.-ation and the time of -the game, be­cause
it would have been publicized. Will this lack of
communication on the part of the Athletic Office con.
tinue? I do not know. I myself cannot answer that
question.

Key Injuries
This year the Stags were
labelled as sure winners. unfor­~
unntely. the high expectations
have not bcc!n fulfilled as every­one
has thou~ht. Coach Mc·
Carthy feels that some key
injuries, the quality and im­provement
of the league Itself,
and a lack of depth all have COf1..
tributC!d to the six losses the
team has suffered this year.
while winning ten. Coach Mc­earthy
feels that this year's
club has a stronger defense as
compared to last year's team.
The coach also feels the club
was hurt by the loss of Tony
DuComb, 3rd leading scorer in
the league last year, who missed
this past semester at Fairfield.
Despite all this. Coach Mc­Carthy
feels that the club is
ready for the upcoming play­offs.
The ankle injury incurred
by goalie Steve Daur, the knee
soreness ot Teddy Sybertz and
the shoulder injury to JerTY
Michaud may be significant to
the Stags' chances in the play­offs.

played host to the Seton Hall
University fencers, in their sec­ond
home meet of the season,
in the Stag gym. Seton Hall,
proclaimed as the top fencing
team In New Jersey, proved to
be more of a match than the
Fairfield fencers could handle,
as they defeated Fairfield, 18-9.
Coming oir of a disheartening
defeat to Worcester the week

Maverick Drawing Held;
Ruggers Leave March 24
By BILL l\lELAUGU
Rugby Drawlng
Saturday afternoon at 12:15
the Rugby Club held the draw­ing
on the raffle of the 1970
Maverick. Out of 38,656 t,ckets,
Fr. McInnes picked the name
of Janet King. She is the sister
of rugger Tom King of Concord,
N.H. The raffle was held to
help finance the club's trip to
Wales in March.
Treasurer Bob Murphy dis­closed
that this was perhaps
the biggest financial boo6t the
Ruggers have received. The
Maverick cost the club $1,800
and printing expense came to
$400. The Ruggers collected
~,664, leaving a gross profit of
$7,464. This, added to the pre­vious
balance of $5.635.26,
brings their effort to $13.099.26.
Murphy estimates the cost of
the tour to be $15,000. The
members making the trip are
asked to make up the difference
of $1,900.74.
The Ruggers will be In Eng­land
for two weeks. On March
24, they leave New York and
fly to London where they will
play two games. Then they
take a bus to Swansea whero
they play one game. March 29,
Easter Sunday. they take an­other
bus to Cardiff where they
playas part of the national
holiday and will attend the na­tional
game in the afternoon.
Tuesda~ March 31, they return
to London and participate In
their last game. They play six
games: four A's and 2 B's.
Then this leaves the Ruggers
eight (ree days to wander
around Europe for a well de­served
vacation. Their return to
the United States is scheduled
