Legislature Selects Horan
For President Of Senate
The student legislature has
named Terry Horan, '73, as
president of the student senate
for the current tenn.
He replaces Arthur Gallagher
who has held the position on a
pro temp basis since the
graduation of last year's
president, Allan Kaulbach, last
June.
As president, Mr. Horan will
chair all meetings of the student
legislature which is composed: of
donn council members and off·
campus students which
represent the students on a one
to 35 ratio.
The proposition also entiUes
him to a seat on tbe university'S
administrative board, an
advisory group which meets with
the president each month.
Personally responsible for the
appointment and overseeing of
all student government
committees, the new president
expects a "far more successful
system" this year as opposed to

He DOted that "a number of
improvements have been
implemented into the committee
system this year which should
enable them to be depended upon
for the bulk of the legislation."
Among tbe changes listed by
Mr. Horan were: "a more
specific definition of powers; the
fonnation of a fifth committee;
all legislation from the
government's executive branch
will now go directly to
committee; the committees
were more carefully chosen and

Students Offer Divergent Views
At Board of Trustees Meeting
By Tlmotby Grace
Six undergraduates and one
graduate student met with the
university trustees last Friday
and provided the board with a
variety of insights concerning
the university and its problems.
Representing various
segments of tbe student
community, Lawrence Halloran,
Michael Leary, Carol Patterson,
J. Mason Harlow, 1bomas
Quigley, Dennis Gallagher and
Timothy Grace, made brief oral
presentations and answered
questions dUring an hour long
session.
Mr. Halloran, who is currently
writing a three piece feature on
the trustees for the VoI«,
charged that the university is a
community whose "apparent
philosophy is inconsistant with
its functional operation."
Representing the Youtb
Interracial Council was Mike
Leary who also spoke as a
member of the residence hall
staff. He touched briefly on the
broadeMd base of the YlC and
the dormitory problems. His
personal comments included a
statement that in his opinion
"many of the problems evident
in the university were due to a
lack of trust and communication
between members of the
community."
Miss Patterson· introduced
herself as a donn council
member and a newcomer who
was "fairly satisfied with tbe
situation at Fairfield." Sbe
noted, bowever, that some of the
girls were unhappy with the
ezisting curfew hours.
According to the group's
fourth speaker, Mr. Harlow, the
University's graduate program
has provided bim with the
"finest" experience that he has
encountered in his years as a
student which include
undergraduate studies at
Harvard University and
additional graduate wort at
November 23; Hartford and
Springfield, January 13;
Waterbury and the Valley,
January 27; New Haven,
February 19: and Bridgeport,
February 26. During March,
forums are scheduled for New
York City, Westchester County
and Long Island.
The program will culminate in
a general alumni meeting on
campus at the end of the year. A
general report distilled from the
results of the meetings, along
with recommendations, will be
presented to Rev. William C.
McInnes, University President.
According to Mr. Greely, the
alumni forums are an attempt
"Make the alumni more aware
of what Fairfield is like in 1970,
not 1951, and to "show that
Fairfield is not isolated or
operating in a vacuum. It is a
sincere attempt both to infonn
the alumni, and to ask them for
advice."
The motion was later dropped
and a committee was fonned to
work out with the Bar a new set
of procedures and if this was oot
possible to then seek a new
chairman to head the
commission.
Serving on the committee are
Dr. John A. Barone, Dr. King J.
Dykeman, Art Gallagher '72 and
Greg Kelty '72.

Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. in G-4142

handle certain items on the
council's agenda.
Old AgeDda
The only item discussed from
the old agenda concerned the
Neutral Fact Finding
Commission, which is to
investigate charges made
against Fr. McInnes last spring
by the student sector.
A motion was put forward by
Mr. Paul Davis of the history
department, oot to accept the
Bridgeport Bar Association's
points of procedures and its
selected chairman, attorney
John Hunt, on grounds that
certain points were lJOt in
consistent with their concept of
the neutral board.
The motion was latter dropped
and a committee was fonned to
work out with the Bar a new set
of procedures and if this was not
possible to the
botb meetings by their
corresponding department
heads. Mr. Murphy and Mr.
Gallagher, who served on
campus as interns during the
summer, will present a "student
report" to tbealumni.
A "Discussion of Problems
Facing Fairfield University"
will follow, during whicb the
subjects of tri..partiUon, student
dissent, alumni relations, and
athletics will be debated.
Iniatated to increase
communications between
Fairfield alumni and the
university, the forums are part
of the Alumni Association's
"Issues and Answers" program.
An alumnus is contacted in each
of several "key" areas where
there is a significant
concentration of alumni. He then
phones the alumni in his area,
and arranges a meeting place for
the forum.
Tentatively, such meetings
have been planned for Boston on

Co-eds Petition Council
To End Frosh Curfews
A Proposal presented by a trio
of co-eds requesting that the
"university council call for an
abolition of curfews for
freshman woman students," was
one of several new items placed
on the University Council's
agenda at its Oct. 14 meeting.
The three students, Margaret
McCarthy, Alice Hayes and
Carol Peterson, all members of
the Loyola Dorm Council,
presented the council with a
petition signed by 113 of the
university's 141 on-campus
freshman co-eds.
Earlier in the week Margaret
McCarthy, as a member of the
student senate, presented to the
Legislature a resolution calling
for the abolition of curfews for
freshman girls. The resolution
received unanimous approval.
At present the curfew for
freshman woman students is 12
midnight on weekdays and 2:30
a.m. on weekends.
These times were based on the
results of a questionnaire senllo
the co-eds this past summer.
Military Reenahen
The council also discussed the
presence of the U.S. Marine
recruiters on campus during the
past week in light of last May's
university council's resolution
that the university no longer
pennit any military recruiters
on the campus.
In the discussion, Dean of
Student Services, Mr. William
SChimpf, pointed ollt that the
recruiters requests to come on
campus had not been denied
since the resolution of last spring
has not been sent through all
sectors of the university for
approval.
University Provost, Dr. John
A. Barone, also pointed out that
restriction of military recruiters
from the campus might possibly
result in tbe loss of Federal

A letter, forwarded by the
Rev. William C. McInnes, S.J.,

also presented to the council for
action.
The letter, dated Sept. 24, was
sent to Fr. McInnes by the Rev.
James H. McElaney, S.J.
chairman of the physics
department, asks for
"information on courses
available to faculty members
suffering such mistreatment,
through the University or
through civil courts." The
"mistreatments" referred to by
Fr. McElaney pertained to the
"many unfortunate things in the
articles of this week's student
newspaper" (The Fairfield Free
Press and Review).
Other matters to be discussed

Mr. Richard Nolan, father of

as the parent who traveled the
furthest. Penning the
enthusiastic comment, Mr.
Nolan echoed the thoughts of
many of the 143 parents
attending.
Below last year's attendance
figure of 292, the decline may be
attributed to the 3-day weekend
during which many students left
campus to return to their homes.
Numerous events highlighted
the weekend.

student reaction has complied to
that expected by the university
community.
Included in Saturday afternoon
activities were a series of
campus tours and a rugby match

.MORE ART AT FAIRFIELD - Dr. Palco Lucaks puffs on his
cigar while making a point about his favorite topic - ART.
By Terence Leary
Is Andy Warhole's Campbell
soup can saying anything about
our history, philosophy, and
social life? According to Palco
Lucaks, chairman of the Fine
Arts department, it does and he
has set up a new program to
explore the relationship of art to
other disciplines.
Dr. Lucaks encourages his
students to find out why so many
people are attracted to
Warhole's unique work. He
wants them to discover the
inherent interrelationships in the
various disciplines and their
impact on our culture. Since Art
is a reflection of a particular
culture, it is important for the
student to study the underlying
reasons for a specific type of art.
Dr. Lucaks, who was born in
Hungary. lived in Vienna during
his adolescence. As a teenager
he wrote articles for a well·
known journal in Nazi Germany,
"For the New Youth". After
graduating from high school he
immigrated to Paris where he
studied under Andre L'Hote, a
popular international artist.
After his term in Paris, Lucaks
went back to Vienna to attend
the School of Masters of
Academie of Fine Arts.
Active in underground
movements against Nazism,
Lucaks had to flee when Hitler
came to Vienna. Eventually Dr.
Lucaks settled in Cuba where he
taught at the University of
Orienta. In the meantime his art
work had been exhibited at both
the University of Puerto Rico
and the University of the West
Indies.
Arriving in the U.S. from'
Cuba, Dr. Lucaks has taught at
Fairfield University since 1961. I
Increased enrollment of students
in the art department indicates
that Dr. Lucaks's approach to
teaching is appealing.
Despite his innovative
methods of teaching art, Dr.

corporation and government
agency in the country.
Information on career
opportunities with numerous
firms is maintained on file in the
placement office, located in the
university gymnasium.
Of equal importance with the
literature it provides is the
career-counseling conducted by
the staff. To achieve its stated
goal of assisting students in the
exploration of career
opportunities. the chief
emphasis is placed on personal
contact··contact with a

Perhaps the most effective
tool in seeking employment is a
good personal resume. The
resume is tbe concrete summary

interests. Sample resume forms
are available at the placement
service office.
The months from October
through March make up what is
called the placement "season"

Interview appointments are set
up in advance between the
studenl and the corporation
agent. These interviews provide
an opportunity for the recruiter
to evaluate qualities of a
potential employee which no
resume is able to convey. On the
other hand, the student has the
chance to inquire about the
details of the specific firm, to

As a result of Fairfield

Although "no direct effect"

Henry Krell, the Assistant Dean (or student services has stated that
there appears to be a relationship between the limited possibilities for
athletics in the winter months and the increase in vandalism and
seemingly wanton and purposeless destruction of property in the
dorms during those rponths. 1£ this is so, it would seem to make good
economic sense to come up with both short-range and long·range plans
to deal with the situation.
The concept of the interrelatedness .of mind and body can scarcely
be debated. The Fairfield University catalogue states that its main
objective is "the development of the creative intellectual potential of
each of its students." If this objective is to be realized, Fairfield
needs to make an honest and thorough appraisal of the athletics
facilities available to its students, so that intellectual development
can be potentiated by the opportunity for development of a sound and
healthy body.
In the warmer months the problem is not so acute, but with the cold
winds of winter and the snows that cover the ground comes the
realization that the options open to students who seek an opportunity
for athletic recreation are really limited. In fact, the word is optionsince
there is but one-basketball in the gym. The University and Prep
basketball teams book the prime time for their practice sessions in
the gym and the rest o( the time is taken up by scheduling of
intramural games. This leaves little or no time (or the spontaneous
"pick up" games so popular with students. And what of the student
who is not a basketball enthusiast? What about the hockey player, the
indoor tennis player, the squash enthusiast, the handball player, or the
gymnast? There are no facilities space, or plans for them.
Where Can We Play
' ... Four
As for long-range plans we call upon the oCficials o( the University
responsible for providing athletic faciJities to study the situation and
to make recommendations for additional facilities that would be the
most flexible, economically feasible. and which would enjoy the
greatest use.

Effort To Bridge Gap
As was amply evident during the chaotic events of last spring, the
university suffers from severe communications problems. Many
members of the community, whether through their own fault or that
of others, have very little awareness of what is happening on this
campus. Whenever a crisis situation arises, lack o( communications is
inevitably cited by the parties involved as one of the primary causes
for the confrontation.
Corrections "ot.tI
To the Editor:
As a member of the University Council,
I would like to clarify certain
misunderstandings inherent in the
October 8 Voice article on the Council
meeting. First, Gary Marzolla was picked
neither as delegate nor alternate. Second,
tbe piece reported that the Council had
taken up and digested 7 points of the
Bridgeport Bar Association for the
Neutral Board. Although Dr. Barone
circulated copies of tbese points to some
Council members, the chairman at least
has not seen them. At no time did they
reach the floor for discussion. When they
do. considerable debate and probable
amending may take place. The Voice
article tended to view the points as fait
accompli. which Is inaccurate.
As a member of the Editorial Board
of another newspaper, I wish to
congratulate your paper for its entry into
campus communication. Let me express
the wish. shared as I know it is at least by
Mr. Zola, that our journalistic
competition shall be a mature, reasonable
and professional one. And please see that
this message filters through to your
Music Editor.
Sincerely youn,
Kevin McAuliffe '71
One organization that has taken positive steps to alleviate the
communications crisis has been the university's radio station, WVOF.
They have introduced nightly news coverage with programs at 7 and
11 o'clock. These daily reports enable the listener to keep informed
about campus affairs.
The two new "talk shows" on WVOF, "Perspectives" and Art
Gallagher's "Speak Out", provide a much needed dialogue by probing
many or the problems which have plagued the campus over the years
and have revealed another dimension of many campus personalities
otherwise known only through their stereotypes. Of the programs
broadcast in ~he first two months of the school year, interviews with a
group of Fairfield coeds and with representatives of the Afro-Am
Society were especially deserving of praise.
The officers and staff of WVOF are to be commended for their
efforts in closing the communications gap and deserve any support
necessary in attaining their goal of an FM license by next (all.

October 22, 1970 THE UNIVERSITY VOICE Page Five
Community Forum
Students Comment on Cox Amendment, Activity Fee
COJ( Amendment
To the Editor:
There have been a number of
opinions proposed regarding the
Cox Amendment and its
supposed expiration date of
September 30, but at no time has
anyone questioned the actions of
the Student Government, and
specifically of the Student
Government President, with
reference to this matter. Indeed
on the one hand we hear the
Amendment's sponsor, Mr.
Robert Cox, and many others
within the University
community profess complete
unawareness of any deadline,
while Mr. Gallagher and the
Editorial Board of the Fairfield
Free Pre9S aDd Review ("Day of
Two Deadlines," Sept. 30, 1970)
claim that such a date was
mentioned in private
communication with the faculty.
Whether or not a date was
actually set forth last spring is
questionable, yet what is most
reprehensible was Mr.
Gallagher's secrecy.
In a two page mimeographed
letter distributed on April 29,
1970 (the day before the vote to
end the strike) and a~dressed
"to the Student Body" Mr.
Gallagher quotes the Cox
Amendment to read as follows:
"Should these (five proposals of
the University Council) not be
faithfully and promptly
executed, we (the Faculty) will
take such action as is necessary
to bring them into force acting in
concert with other members of
the University Community." At
no time does he mention a date
nor was any deadline publicized
in forthcoming notices. Yet in
the October 7 issue of the Free
Press aDd Review we learn that
"on the night of the April 28 vote
on the Cox Amendment, 'We (the
Student Government) explained
to Fr. Devine and other floor
managers ... we would consider
Sept. 30 the operative date ...
Our initial request - Sept. 1 wouldn't
pass All the
information I got after the
meeting was that it had been
expected.' In all subsequent
communications with the faculty
on the matter, Gallagher said
the date was mentioned."
If then a specific date was
proposed, why did the
Government President surround
its existence in a veil of secrecy?
Why was there no
communication with the Student
Body last year as to a definite
deadline? I am forced to
conclude that Mr. Gallagher has
been less than honest with the
students whom he supposedly
represents, especially in light of
his ironic statement, "We have
resolved the difficulty of lack of
communication, and secrecy will
be eliminated," contained within
the same letter of April 29.
Or perhaps he simply invented
the "magic date" in search of an
issue to arouse student emotion.
Whichever may have been the
case, there can be no doubt that
as an elected representative Mr.
Gallagher has handled the Cox
Amendment in a manner which
is to be deplored.
Robert Byro '73
Questions R.ised
To the Editor:
In submitting this letter to you
I have no intention to either
applaud or denounce the Policies
of the Student Government of
this University, J simply wish to
raise a few pertinent questions
regarding the actions of the
Student Government over the
past few months.
First, I would like to know
exactly how the increase in the
student activity fee was brought
about. I am under the impression
that any increase of that sort
required a referendum of the
Student Body, and to my
knowledge no referendum has
been taken.
Second, after reading the
minutes of the Legislature
meeting at which an increase in
the activity fee was approved, I
am rather confused. J do not find
the minutes of the meeting
complete and would like to know
if the meeting had a quorum.
Also, I would like to know
exactly which students voted for
or against the increase.
Third, since such a large sum
of money has been allocated to
the support of the Fairfield Free
Press and Review, (an excess of
$15,000), shouldn't the student
body have had some sort of voice
in this matter? After all, this
represents $6.00 of every activity
fee.
Fourth, how was the Fairfield
Free Press established and
chosen to be supported by the
Student Government? As far as I
know, the Free Press has not
submitted a constituion to the
·Student Government for
approval and therefore the
legality of its existence, and its
support by the Student
Government is rather
questionable.
Fifth, as a result of last
spring's activities on campus, it
was announced that the Student
Government would establish and
support a newspaper. It was my
understanding at the time that
the paper would be responsible
to the Student Government, yet,
the Fairfield Free Press, is
published by a corporation. To be
incorporated, a group must
receive some sort of legal
certification; such certification
the Student Government can not
legally issue, therefore how can
the Student Government use
student funds to finance a
private corporation over which it
has no jurisdiction? Does this
mean that the Student
Government must finance any
private group of students who
decide to incorporate
themselves for some purpose?
Sixth, it appears as though a
certain group of students have
formed a corporation to publish
a newspaper, and the Student
Government has chosen to
support it. I ask why was this
particular corporation supported
over any other? Did other
corporations also seek funding
from the Student Government?
Was a C{)mmiUee set up to find a
publishing corporation which
would act as a true University
Newspaper?
Seventh, last week another
newspaper appeared on campus.
the University Voice. This paper
has a tri-partite staff, and is
published by the University.
Does the Student Government
contribute anything to its
support? I find it rather odd, and
definitely against the spirit of
tri-partitism, for the Student
Government, which advocated
tri-partitism all of last year, to
support a private corporation
which is not tri-partite while
there is also a tri-partite group
on campus which performs the
same function.
I find that as the year
progresses, I am becoming more
and more confused regarding the
policies of the Student
Government, especially when it
appears that they have acted:
illegally, without proper
mandate from the Student Body,
,and contrary to the spirit of tripartitism
which was of prime
concern last spring. The Student
Government charges that the
administration acts in bad faith
and therefore cannot be trusted
well, I ask how can I trust a
Student Government which tells
me nothing and appears to be
acting against what it proposed
last spring.
I am sure that a majority of
the Student Body would like to
have the questions which I have
raised answered.

Moaday, October 26: La
Coushte Bette. This film is an
adaptation of Balzac's famous
novel (written in 1846). The
action takes plaCf! in Paris
between 1838 and 1846. It
portrays the downfall of the
great Hulot family (once
important under Napoleon) and
the rise of the bourgeoisie,
Creval. At the center is Bette,
one of Balzac's most fa~inating
characters. Her hatred and
jealousy for the Hulot family are
responsible for its ruin.

program of shorts:
LaNormaodie de Flaubert; Un

treats Flaubert's native
province of Normandy. The
second one is an adaptation of
one of his famous short stories:
Un coeur simple is the story o(
the Ji(e and death o( Felicite, a
simple-minded peasant woman.
A narrator speaks Flaubert's
texts as the action proceeds. The
actors exchange no dialogue.
The last two films deal with two
of France's best known short
stories writers: Maupassant and

downright unnatural. But with
better direction he may some

The battle scene is an orgy of
violence. It is grotesque,
overdone, and in the macabre
tradition. But so were the
massacrers that are depicted.
Particularly nauseating are the
scenes where Indian children are

breasts are lopped off, and
dances by soldiers brandishing
severed limbs of Indian bodies
are·done. • • • .
Very little saves this movie

The order was massacre, and

These soldiers were the best.
They raped, slashed, and
dismembered tbe Indians. The
1864 Sand Creek Massacre and
the 1889 Battle of Wounded Knee
are two historical battles of the
bloody American Indian War. It
is against this background of the

words faU awkwardly from the
mouths of the characters.
Director Ralph Nelson said of
"Soldier Blue," : "our battle is a
slaughter of Cheyenne warriors,
.....omen and children, exactly as
it happened a century ago in our
history." Nelson, who directed
"Cl\arly" and "Lillies of the
Field" - much better offerings,
has aimed all his capabilities at
[he climactic savage battle
scene. He has failed to direct the
sensitive story of a U.S. Cavalry
private who learns from Cresta
MarybelJe Lee, a calvary
officier's fiancee who has spent
two years as a Cheyenne chiefs
squaw, about fndian humanity.
As the private, who is played
by Peter Strauss, and Miss Lee,
who is Candice Bergen, wander
in hostile territory, Ralph
Nelson allows Strauss and
Bergen to wander in and out of
character. The director's
attention to detail leaves much
to be desired. Nelson leads us
from the comic to the tragic
back to the comic and finally to
the tragic. He even mingles
tragedy and comedy while he
attempts to deal with a
momentus topic. It may be an
attempt at black comedy. But if
it is, it doesn't work.
Candice Bergen gives the role
of Miss Lee a Calamity Jane
interpretation. Her perfonnance
is disappointing. But then so is
the part she plays.

This is patently false. Hendrix
died by choking on his own
vomit, certainly not a pleasant
death and rar from "kissing the
sky."
Janis Joplin was close to being
the Judy Garland of rock. Her
life 'ill';as the stage and she was
quite different when she was
away from the spotlight. The
night I saw ber at the Capitol in
Rochester last August, she
happened' to pass me by on the
way into the theatre. Truthfully,
I was shocked at what a pathetic
figure she was, not at all what I
expected her to be like. She had
heavy acne scars, a tatoo on her
arm and her left hand was
quivering as she held it to her
face. An hour later when she
jumped on stage she was lively,
vivacious and raunchy, not at all
like she had seemed before.

beeause somehow we caD't

even bard DOW to grasp the
reality of their deatbs because
through tbelr recordiDgs we CaD
still hear tbem the same as we

Siage Performuces
So. as you can see it will take a
while for their deaths to really
have an effect on us. Perhaps
what we will miss most is their
stage performances. Both Joplin
and Hendrix were dynamic
pedormers capable o(
completely captivating an
audience.
Although 1 never saw Hendrix,
his performance in the
Woodstock movie is ample
testimony to his stage mastery.
He probably got more out of an
electric guitar than anyone else
in rock music. Bill Graham is
reported as having told Hendrix
that his performance with Buddy
Miles and Billy Cox this past
New Year's Eve was the best he
has ever heard at the Fillmore
East.
Captlvallng Figure
Janis Joplin was also a
captivating figure on stage. She
never stopped moving and her
loud. brassy voice could fill the
largest arena. She was a cursing,
raunchy singer with one hand on
her hip and another around a
bottle of Southern Comfort.
H is ironic that both of them
gOl their big leap to stardom at
the Monterey Pop Festival back
in rock's peak year of 1967 and
that they should die within three
weeks o( each other in the
mLXIdled. confused 1970·s. We
will miss them because they
made rock music the interesting
and imaginative art form that it
is today.
I could end this semi-eulogy
here ud perhaps it would be
wi$.er to do so theD to say wbat I

very strongly about some
aspects of tbeir deatbs aDd I feel

Their deaths cannot be
~Iorified as some of the media
has tried to do. They died
b<'Cause of their own excesses
and perhaps there is a lesson to
be learned from what happened
to them.

Justified Assistance
Budget Figures
Tbe financial support which I recommend for the
football club as well as other clubs, can be justified by
the aforementioned reasons. The university should
provide the funds necessary. to insure permanent
financial stability for as long as there is interest among
the students to field a club team.
Hence the post-season fund-raising can go to
financing the follOWing rather than just paying off the
debt from the previous fall. The psychological effects
are obvious. There now exists a positive attitude
among the club members rather than one of gloom
about the club's financial situation, but this could be
improved by being on top of the financial problem. To
make this come about, university and student support
are both necessary.
These are times which try athletic director's wallets.
We are in an era when such national powerhouses as
Ohio State with their 100,000+ stadia find it difficult to
make their athletic budgets balance. Other schools
such as Notre Dame find it necessary to resort to postseason
competition to get the cash which makes the
difference between running in the black or the red.
Here at Fairfield University the only income
producing sport is basketball, but even this sport barely
breaks even. Moreover, when one considers the added
expenditure of athletic scholarships, the basketball
team does not come close to getting out of the red..
In light of these financial woes what I am about to
say will probably seem absurd to those who insist upon
attaching a dollar sign to all the university's assets.
Merit Financial Support
,
At present the football club is operating on a $1,,000
budget with the projected. income amounting to S7,OOO
which leaves a $5,000 debt. This has been the I odus
operandi in the past couple years and will COl inue
unless the university steps in to help out.
Included. in this figure which is comparable to a
small college budget are expenses for equip:Qent,
coaches and trainer, visiting team guarar~es,
photography, officials, police at home games, a slttndby
ambulance, and transportation.
Indirect support has come from the university in the
form of use of lockers and field, a coaches' conference
room, and Dean William Schimpf's volunteering the
use of the school's bus for short trips. The schedule is
such that the team can not take advantage of this offer
this season, but the Dean's gesture shows a sincere
willingness to help out. I recommend that this
willingness be expanded to financial assistance.
Revenue producing areas for the club are club dues,
gate receipts, and the newly established Touchdown
Club - a booster organization made up of faculty,
alumni, and parents. I urge the university to offer the
necessary financial support to eliminate the team's
debt and help establish the club on a level we all want.
One of these assets which merits financial as well
as indirect support from the administration is the
Football Club, which is in its fifth year of club gridiron
competition.
How can the football club legitimize its claim to
financial assistance from the university? First of all,
the "Ironmen" have 98 members (48 players and 50
non-playing members) which is close to five per cent of
the student body. This in itself should be sufficient
argument, but let me continue.
Secondly, the football club in generating considerable
activity on campus offers a positive outlet for pent-up
emotional and physical energy for the fans as well as
the players. It is a positive channeling of energy worth
supporting.
Another intangible which avoids the pragmatist's
dollar sign is the amount of public relations and good
will that the club can and does provide in and outside
the university community,

goal of the night which came
early in the final period.
With ten minutes remaining,
however, the Lions came alive.
In the next four minutes the

by Don Kusko.

Holding its home opener.
against Adelphi tomorrow
night, Fairfield hockey team will
seek its first win of the season
following a 3-3 tie with Columbia
University in the team's initial
game held this past Monday
night. The Stags will face off at 9
o'clock at the Bridgeport
Wonderland of Ice.
In Monday nigbt's game the
Stags pulled out to a three goal
lead, but were barely able to
fend off the momentum of
Columbia to salvage the
deadlock, in the opening game of
the Metropolitan Intercollegiate
Hockey League.
Both teams were held
scoreless in the opening period,
tben Coach John McCarthy's
charges broke loose for two
tallies within 11 seconds. Jean
Guy LaFlamme scored on a
breakaway at tbe II minute
mark on the second session for
Fairfield's initial score.
Fresbman Ed Stafan then added
the stag's second goal as he
connected on a shot from the
point with an assist from Cbuck
Frissora.
A Fairfield victory seemed
assured on LaFlamme's second
Booters to Face Eastern on Sat.
The Fairfield Soccer team
traveled to Central Connecticut
Wednesday and will play
Eastern Connecticut at Fairfield
Saturday.
Fairfield won their previous
game by defeating Southern
Connecticut last Wednesday, 4-2.
Southern dominated the field for
the duration of the first half of
the game. They netted two goals
and their defense kept the Stags
scoreless. However, in the
second half the Stags regained
theiriost impetus and rendered
Southern scoreless.
Joe Meseek, freshman, led the
first of a barrage of four goals in
the third quarter followed by
Chip Mount who tied the score at
two apiece. In the fourth quarter
Chip Mount again scored
breaking the deadlock. The final
net was scored by Danny Wilcox.
Red Ruggers
To Play Cross
Here on Sat.
Following a winless week-end
against Westchester and
Fordham Old Maroon, The
Fairfield Rugby Club is
preparing for Saturday when
they will face Holy Cross.
The Ruggers will field three
sides against the Crusaders, with
all matches to be played on Hans
Grauert Memorial Field.
Last saturday the "A" team
played against Westchester's
first side and came out on the
losing end of a 13-6 score. Hooker
Gino Tarnowski was named the
Most Valuable Player of the
Father's Weekend battle.
Westchester, out to avenge
last years !HI loss to Fairfield,
seored first when their serumhair
fell on the ball, which was in
the end tone but hadn't come out
of tbe serum. The ensuing
conversion kick was judged
good, a decision Fairfield hotly
disputed.
The Ruggers then seored on a
long movement with John
O'Neill running in from 20 yards
out. O'Neill then made the
conversion but the referee
nullified the kick, ruling that he
had not kicked the ball through
the proper mark.
For the remainder of the first
hair Fairfield penetrated deep
into Westchester territory but
was unable to score, leaving the ..
visitors with a 5-3 hair-time lead.
At the beginning of the second
half the Red Ruggers again put
pressure on Westchester but
they were hampered by the loss
of wing Dennis Barry who had to
leave the game when he broke
his left wrist.
Several minutes after Barry's
injury Westchester started a
long movement which
overlapped the short-handed
Fairfield defense and resulted in
a try which was converted.
Behind 8-3, the Ruggers
stonned back down the field into
Westchester territory. After five
minutes of intense pressure the
visitor's defense cracked as
Greg Gomet fell on a loose ball
in the end tone for a try.
Fairfield again missed the
conversion and again the call
was disputed.
FollOWing this score
Westcbester pulled itself
together and moved downfield.
Their third score came when
they again overlapped the
Fairfield backs and it sealed the
Red Ruggen third defeat.
In the "B" game the Ruggers
second side played Old Maroon's
first team to a 3-3 tie. Fairfield's
only score came on a fine
penally kiclt by Mike Gallagher.
The Red Ruggers third squad
played and lost to Old Maroon's
second team 8-0.
The "0" game saw Fairfield's
fourth side tangle witb
Westchesters "B" team. The
';0" team made a fine showing,
but lost 3-0.

runners of Fairfield by ten

endurance Tim Austin made up
the lost ground and led the
group. With less than a half-mile
left Tim Austin became
eXhausted, lost his lead and was
passed by all tbree St.
Petersburg runners.
The barriers will travel to New
Haven Saturday to try to better
their 3-2 tally.
The Stag boopmen are now in
their second week of practice in
preparation for their 1970-71
season opener vs. Southern
Connecticut State College on
December 1st. Coach Barakat
will continue to direct his
charges through a demanding
six-days-a-week practice
scbedule.
On the first day of practice
eighteen varsity hopefuls worked
out under the eyes of Barakat
and bis assistant Dick
Percudani. Some of those
included were returning starters
Mart Frazer and Bob Kelly,
other returning lettermen Tom
Finch, Tim Barnes, Bill Haff,
Tom PurceD and three touted
junior college transfers Mel
Brown. Gary Bowen, and Mark
O'Donnell.
Barakat noted that the first
practice was "pretty positive; it
was all I hoped for. Every guy
really came to play and seemed
to be in good shape. The normal
mistakes were made but in a
hustling manner and can be
excused."
Eyes on Soutben
In commenting on the early
part of the schedule, Barakat
was extremely emphatic in
stressing that the team is
preparing for the opener against
Southern and not looking ahead
to Boston College, the first home
game. Most Stag fans will recall
it was Southern who upset
Fairfield early last year just
before the Stags' big game vs.
UConn. So Fred Barakat doesn't
want his squad to get caught
looking beyond that all
important first gume.
HaU of Fame Tourney
In the first month of the
schedule the Stags do meet some
pretty hefty opposition however.
Alter Southern and DC come

drive was climaxed by a twoyard
touchdown smash by
Piazza, who received the MVP
award for tbegame.
Fairfield faked the conversion
kick and Halas passed to Fran
Neary for two points and a 1S.{l
lead.
Throughout the third and most
of the fourtb periods the Stag
defense, led by Don Marshall
with two interceptions, was
stopping S1. Francis cold. St.
Francis' total offense for the
game was 161 yyards.
Midway through the fourth
quarter Fairfield started
anotber drive on the ground
which ended in Muller's scoring
from the one on a quarterback
sneak. The conversion attempt
failed but the Stags were
comfortably ahead with a 21
point lead.
With only minutes left in the
game St. Francis mounted a
drive that brought them a
touchdown and kept them from
being shut out.
Moments later the game
ended, putting the Stags record
at two wins and two loses-as
many wins as they had all of last
season.
The Fairfield cross country
squad was upset 25'IJ-29'4 by
Saint Petersburg in the closest

opponent in a time of 27:22 and,
less than a second behind the

Coming orr a 21-6 victory over
St. Francis of Brooklyn last
Saturday night. the football team
is preparing to travel to Rhode
Island Sunday to meet
Providence College.
The Slags second win of the
season was due to a strong
running game which piled up 228
yards and a Mrdnosed defense
that held St. Francis scoreless
until the waning moments of the
game.
Neither team showed much
offense in the first quarter but
early in the second quarter
Fairfield held St. Francis on
downs at ·the visitors forty and
took control of the ball.
Van Muller then threw two
straight completions to Mike
Dougherty and Bob Piazza to
give the Stags a first down on the
len.
On the following series
Dougherty banged his way into
the end zone from the three and
Fairfield was ahead 7.{l as Bob
Vespia kicked the conversion.
Late in the second quarter
Fairfield threatened again as
Peter Halas threw a 40 yard
completion to Willie Mraz on a
half-back option play, and the
Stags were on the St. Francis 18.
The Stags were unable to score
because the St. Francis safety
picked.-off another Halas pass at
the five and returned it to the
Stag 30.
In the third quarter Fairfield
began to consistently move the
ball on the ground. Starting on
their own 38 behind the running
of Piazza. Dougherty. Muller,
and Choo Cboo Coleman, the
Stags marched downfield. The
