planners for all social programs
in a city, they should be a

coordinator, "The doctrine of
socio-economic isolationism of
the poor is perhaps more
hazardous than the doctrine of
political isolationism in foreign

He stated that the 14 member

President Submits Letter
to National OEO Director
The president of the university
has written a letter to the
national director of the poverty
program urging greater
participation by the national
government in fighting poverty.
Speaking as the president of
the Connecticut Association of
Community Action Agencies, Fr.
Melnnes has indicated to Mr.
Donald Rumsfeld. director of the
Office of Economic Opportunity.
that private contributions to the
poverty program "are negligible
to the point of being piddling."
He further pointed out that state
and city contributions "are
hardly on the substantial side."
He criticized the use of long
term bonds to finance programs
because "it only postpones for 20
years the payment for services
urgently needed in the present
and which may well be urgently
needed in the future."
He suggested to the OEO
director that savings in defense
might well be diverted to
poverty programs in the cities.
"The C-5A Cargo plane. for
example, was originally bid at 53
billion but is running S2 billion
more - or approximately the
entire cost of the OEO program
in 1969."
"We respectfully propose that
OEO take the initiative in urging
expended parts oJ their
appropriations. The Hockey Club
was given $1650 and has used it
all. WVOF received $2500 and
spent $1500. while the Draft
Information Center has
appropriated $250 and has spent
$47.
Foor other organizations have
been allocated money. but they
have yet to use it. The Youth
Interracial Club was granted
$1.000. the Football Club. S2,200,
the Ski Club $1.300, and the
literary magazine Frontiers
received $1,200.
This leaves only $3.400 left that
can be given to campus
organizations.
The "Free Press" has proven
to be the biggest item in the
budget. as more than one-third
of Student Government
expenditures have been in its
area.
Most of the funds spent in the
area of Student Services have
been for two items; bus service
for various events. and the Jane
Fonda lecture which cost $1500.
$3.000 of the money spent by
the Community Service
Committee has been for a van
which will be used by the YIC
and several other campus
organizations for service in the
neighborinJl: communities.
While more than $5,000 has
been given to the Social Affairs
Committee, most of this has yet
to be spent. Social Affairs
Chairman William Tierney is
responsible for this money.

Government President Dennis
Gallegher. Government

DeAngelo brought the case to

They also decided that the

DeAngelo's claim that such a

because freshman were not

decision as well. The court
decided that "the freshmen,

Teacher Study
An eight member ad hoc
commitlee has been organized
by the Student Government this
year for the purpose of
performing a faculty evaluation
which they plan to publish just
prior to regislration for Fall '71
courseS this spring.
Under the direction of Robert
Sheridan. the committee is
presently working to find an
acceptable form which they hope
to distribute to the students
shortly after the Christmas
vacation.
Other members include
upperclassmen Steve Dromer
'72, Greg Kielty '72. Dennis
Gallagher '72. and Ed Kennar '73
in addition to freshmen Alice
Hayes, Steve Mednick and Sam
McTyre.
According to Mr, Sheridan.
previous attempts to perform
teacher evaluations have been
stifled due to lengthy forms
which the students never
returned. He suggested that this
year's form would probably be
significantly shorter and broken
into two parts including a list of
objective questions which
students would rate and a space
for brief comments on each
instructor.
"We are looking for people
who can help us process at least
the first part, in the computer
laboratory'" he said. The
committee will try to synthesize
the comments about each
instructor.
Sheridan stressed the
importance of student
cooperation in this venture. "If
they don't turn itlthe form), the
whole thing will be useless."

The November appearance on

caused more heat Ihan light in
the local press.
~ver since the Bridgeport

front page story on November
11. the paper"s "letters to the
editor" column has been pock
marked by lellers rehashing and
refreshing the public memory of
the event. 1\11 except one letter
have been critical. The
newspaper itself last Saturday
carried its own editorial
denouncing both the appearilnce
and the universitv'S reaction to
outside criticism.'
Asecond paper the Bridgeport
Sunda,Y Herald, a riAht-wing
paper published weekly by
William Loeb. carried a banner
slory on November 22 headlined
"Radicals Heaping Big College

Jane Fonda following a lead line
statin~ that "white and black
extremists and revolutionaries
arc ~eU.ing thousilnd-dollar fees
and more on the college lecture
circuit, But the amount of the
fees and who pays them is top

To the editor:
Mr. John Romeo's column "Voice of an
Independent" struck me as being
"independent" of certain historical fact
at Fairfield University. He stated "1 have
been denied the right to attend class due
to the Student Governments regrettable
and anti-intellectual actions year." This
is false. Further, Mr. Romeo knows it is
falSE because he attended classes during
last years strike. The official government
position appeared in a Communications
Department bulletin of April 22, 1970. It
read as follows "The Student Government
will not condone the abrogation of a
minority's rights. That is in the case of a
strike, physical obstruction of any person
attempting to enter a University building
constitutes both an infringement on his
individual freedoms, and a violation of
Student Government law." This message
was constantly emphasiZed at Student
meetings; I personally requested that
anyone denied access to any building
bring it to my attention, none did so. Mr.
Romeo's charge that the government
acted in an "anti·intellectual" manner is
slightly less than amaZing. All student
meetings during the strike were open
meetings. Administrators, Faculty
members, and Students were not merely
allowed to voice their opinions, but
encouraged by Government officials to do
so. Dissenting opinions were in no way
surpressed by the Government. Faculty
members spoke out at both mass
meetings and in the Legislature. A
Communications Department circular
also distributed April 22, 1970 stated "If
publicity is needed for organization (of
those opposed to the Governments
po~ition or in favor of the
administration), go to the Student
Government office and papers will be'
mimeographed if you so desire;" another
publication of the Government announced
the appearance of Faculty members on
Wvof, who were to be presenting the
faculty's opinion of the events. But now
we read that this openess: this attempt to
provide rational discourse is .. antiintellectual,"
a conclusion that is at best a
non-sequiter.
Mr. Romeo says he will not allow
himseU to be heid responsible for any
regulations nOl imposed upon him by
"Fairfield University itself." Does he
consider students part of that University.
and if so how can he possibly hold himself
to any regulations that they have not
participated in making. Or by "Fairfield
University itself" does he mean the
Administration of Fairfield University
which is in [act only a small sector of the
University? If so. I would argue Mr.
Romeo demands the right to be free to I
obey the Administration not the
University: he wants the freedom to be
dictated to. but is that freedom? I
seriously doubt that stands as the
predominant opiriion on this campus.
Kather, it would seem to me that the
Student Government, along with many
other individuals and groups. is striving to
establish a system where-in rules and
~.~•••"7J..,U1tlllll_III'__U"'I.IIIIIIIIIII"""'."57m? I U
i CO.L'~' FORUM i
I Romeo Rebuffed regulations are made by "Fairfieldl
University itself," and not by any small
interest group in the name of the
University.
Just recently the chief executive officer
of the Administration, the V.a. William
McInnes expressed his opinion that
"student have no. right to a.sk for
•explanations of administrative decisions"
to Ken Daly. Secretary of the Student
Legislature. In my opinion that is "antiintellectual,"
that is blatant contempt for
rational discourse; the tenet that
governance structures need not be
accountable to their constituent groups is
a basic principle in totalitarian societies,
but it hardly has validity in a cOll1munity
dedicated in Father Mcinnes' own words
te "truth through learning." Questioning,
the Socratic method, and open dialogue
have long been among the most important
tools provided by the learning process.
Are they to be denied us here?
The Student Government has argued
constantly for a form of governance that
wculd embrace the "University itself." It
has been the advocate of Tri-Partitism,
open meetings, rational discourse. and
shared decision-making. It has lobbyed
for liberalizing the curriculum, dormitory
regulations. and governance structures.
Thanks to its efforts. students are now
more "independent" in their ability to
choose lifestyles, and courses. The
Government's attempts at introducing
students into the University governance
structure is a further attempt to provide
more "independence" for students. No
longer would the Student Body's day to
day life depend on regulations formulated
solely by administrators. or any small
intuESt group. It has been the Student
Government that has sought to provide a
constructive outlet for those people who
think "independently" of current
administration norms while still
providing vehicles by which the entire
community can express their opinions be
they pro or con concerning Government
policies. Has the Administration done the
same? Has it given an account of itself to
the University Community? Which
organization has encouraged independent
thought. not resisted it
Mr. Romeo endorses "University
regulations." But would he endorse the
University, rather than the
Administration, making those
regulations? Does he want to depend
solely on the decision of a perhaps far
removed administr.ator to guide his
academic hfe, or would he rather be free,
independent, to participate in that
decision? It is indeed strange that Mr.
Romeo calls on "students 0( this
University to begin thinking for
yourselves .... " yet decries as "antiintellectual"
the results of that thought.
Independence is not a one sided coin; a
true independent will reserve the right to
be free to participate in the decisions
which effect him. It is that independence
which the Student Government has sought
tc gain for the Student Body of Fairfield
University.
The Hangout
A very serious problem is growing on. this campus. It does not
directly involve any member of the university community and yet it
affects every member of the community. The university is becoming
a hangout and sanctuary for the young people of the town of Fairfield.
Every public school holiday and on weekends we see the university
playing babysitter to various groups of town youngsters. Gangs gather
around and in the campus center. The walk south of the campus center
leading to the library seems to be a favorite gathering place.
Members of the university community are forced from the walk by
parked bicycles and squatting kids. When th~ kids leave, the
obscenities which have filled the air are now scratched into the
concrete. It is known that much of the vandalism in the campus center
can be attributed to these "visitors." Furniture is found slashed,
carved and broken and evidence of drug use is found in the rest rooms
after these youngsters have left. Bicycle riding in the Oak Room and
vandalism of paintings on exhibition are not uncommon.
Other areas of the campus have also become part of the hangout
problem. It is not unusual to see a group of youngsters on a Saturday
afternoon out behind the campus center passing a bottle of wine.
Youngsters have been found scaling communion hosts around the
chapel. Before Gonzaga auditoriurp can be closed for the night,
"vi~itorf'" who were silting in the dark "doing their thing," have to
be a§ked to leave. How much of the theft in our community is internal
and llow much comes from outside?
Nothing is apparently being done to discourage such visitors. The
open door policy of the university administration is encouraging an
even greater influx of such ··visitors." Under what regulations do
these visitors operate? Can they be tried in the student court for
committing an act that would bring one of our students to the student
court? Will they be taken to a civil court? Who is liable if one of these
. 'visitors" has a "bad trip" in the Oak Room?
Who is liable for the damage which is done? The students are told
that tuition must be raised in order to help defray the cost of
maintenance and repair. The faculty is told that salary increases are
difficult to give because of increased costs to run the university.
Should members of the university community be asked to pay for the
vandalism committed by these "visitors"?
Ther\ no logical reason why town youngsters should visit the
campus __ley don't attend classes. They don't attend cultural events.
Then what is the attraction? Have they come to regard the campus as
their sanctuary? What have we done or failed to do that supports this
notion?
The situation calls for a review of the university policy on campus
visitors. Every effort shoutd be made to offer access to university
facilities for those with legitimate needs. At the same time every
effort should be made to prevent the university from becoming a
han20ut and sanctuary.
Self-Study
An apparent outgrowth of the report of the Board of Trustees: ad
hoc committee on governance. has been its recommendation that a
study of the resident halls be made. The University Commun~ty must
recognize the intrinsic right of the Board to make such an
investigation. Since the ad hoc committee hearings provided an open
forum for community members to express concern. the Board of
Trustees most assuredly heard matters in more areas than
governance. Thus, the ad hoc committee's suggestion to the entire
Board for the study can be well justified.
However. we urge the Board of Trustees at their meeting this week
to be cautious in their structuring of the group and process by which
the resident halls will be studied.
As announced in the VOICE several weeks ago, prior to the Trustee
discussion of the topic, the Student Services Division initiated a "selfstudy"
of the resident halls. This matter. as announced at that time,
was to clarify the concepts and opinions of dorm life held by the
community. We commend this action.
We would suggest to the Board of Trustees that they do not appoint
another ad hoc committee to conduct this investigation. We feel that
such a committee would have no credibility and no beneficial effects.
Those whose opinion is on either side of the question of the functioning
of dorm life would not find credence in such a study. Open hearings
such as those previously conducted on governance could prove
dangerous to dormitory life since non-residents could express second·
hand information as dogmatic fact.
A current example of such misinformation is the $6,000.00 damage
rumor concerning the second corridor of South East Hall; when in
fact, it has been proved that the damage is only $150.00.
We do feel that the entire community could benefit from a "selfstudy"
by the resident hall staff. Such a study could provide two
major benefits not found in a study by a non·resident group. First. it
would insure that the responsible people are investigating their own
functioning and secondly. it would give them incentives to correct
their weaknesses if any are found. Thus such a study would act as a
mirror to life in residence.
The Board of Trustees can and should commend the "self-study" of
the dorm life by the -resident hall staff and lend to them all the
assistance they can. If the "self-study" can first. discover the goals of
the residence halls, secondly. evaluate the meeting of these goals, and
thirdly, seek credibility of the study itself from outside experts. we
feel that the Trustees will find no need to establish another ad hoc
committee. We urge the Board to use the resident hall staff "self·
study" to answer the questions established by the ad hoc committee
on governance.

Those who would abolish this
University's traditional
commitment to Catholicism
would not only be guilty of a
disregard for one of its prime
reasons for existence, but would
also be stifling an active force,
which as it grows can contribute
much to the entire community.
Moreover, to deny that
Catholicism has a place on this
campus would be to seriously
threaten the freedom of those
who came to Fairfield because
of its religious commitment.

Any organized structure
ranging from the small club to a
powerful legislative body is
founded upon certain ideals,
toward Which the energies of its
members are directed. For when
there are no such ends, the
organiution soon degenerates
into stagnation and
meaninglessness, Universities,
for example, established as
academic institutions with a
commitment to leaming, share
the common task of education.
When this characteristic is
denied or neglected the
university ceases to exist for the
purpose for which it was fonned
and no longer retains its
academic nature.
As a religious-oriented
institution Fairfield went a step
further and sought to adapt this
commitment to educate within
a religious framework.
Consequently, the school was
founded upon the premise that
religion, and specifically
Catholicism, should be
incorporated as an integral part
of the educational process; that
there should be a double
commitment to education and to
the Catholic reli~on.
Only until recently were these
ideals so interrelated that they
tended to overlap to an extreme
degree, Dogmatic theology
courses became a required
segment of the currie ulum,
while regular attendance at
spiritual exercises was
demanded. The practice of
religion and the pursuit of an
education had not yet emerged
as two separate entities.
Within the past few years,
however, as the school has
continued on a course of natural
evolution, these. two
commitments have begun to
draw apart. Spiritual activities
are no longer obligalory:
theology has given way to
religious studies; the number of
non-eatholics or of those who no
longer accept the Catholic faith
has increased tremendously. But
this dissociation of religious
activity from the strict
educational process in no way
represents a lessening of this
University'S initial commitment
to Catholicism; on the contrary,
it signifies a development. a
maturation of both this school's
educational and religious ways
of life.
Now there are those who,
either out of ignorance of the
present situation or a lack of
understanding of what a
commitment to Catholicism
entails. would destroy this
evolutionary process by
completely severing Fairfield's
traditional religious roots from
the modem campus. They
mistakenly suppose that a
religious commitment must
necessarily restrict the
freedoms, upon which academic
institutions so pride themselves,
Such a view may indeed have
been valid five or ten years ago,
when Fairfield's conception of
'Atholicism and its relation to
education were not so nearly
developed as they are today. For
there can be no question that
individual freedom was to an
extent sacrificed as a necessary
step on the evolutionary road to
development. But as we look
back with our sense of
perspective over the advances
which have taken place, it
becomes more and more evident
that the relationship between
religion and education has
undergnne a marked
transformation.
A university's commitment to
Catholicism, fully matured and
developed, cannot POSSiblv be at

Maybe I should trade my Little
heralded Stag Rebellion in for
the more acceptable Dodge

As my regrets began to

started to mount my psyche, I
looked up at the clock in the

Fairfield and Its Discontents
Un'nrsltr '.'CIS
The coming of coeds and a lack
of dormitory space on campus,
forced Fairfield University to
seek Julie Hall as a solution to
its overcrowding problem. The
University rente.d two floors in
the buildmg which is owned by
the Sisters of Notre Dame de
Namur.
At present, Julie is the
adjacent-to-campus housing for
thirty-four girls---thirteen
transfers and twenty-one
freshmen. While the hall was
mtcndt.'d to be Cl solution tu Cl
spClce problem, many of Julic's
mhabltants believe that thcir
presence on the novitiate
property has served to created
more problems for the
university.
Before being allowed lo move
into Julie in Scptember. all thc
girls were required to sign a
contract stating the terms of the
agreement between the
university and the community of
Notre Dame de Namur,
represented by Sister Margaret
Donovan.
While the coeds have no
objection to such terms as no
smok ing in thcir rooms since it IS
obviously a safety precaution,
they do object to the ruling
concerning parietals, There are
no parietals at Julie.
While no reason for this term
is listed in the contract. the girls
state<l that they were told Julie
Iiall was primaril~' a convent.
They see such a statement as
inconsistent with another term
in the contract. That term states
that there is lo be a mutual
exclusiveness between the
sisters and the coeds. Neither
group is to infringe upon the
other's rights. The girls do not
believe that their having
parietals will infringe upon the
religious living next door to
them.

One need not build a prison to

Looking over the chip on my
shoulder to see if I was still

Campus Center under the cover
of semi-darkness and incognito
for a high·level meeting with
Ego, Id, and Superego to discuss
internal security and the
progress of the Stag Rebellion.
I had become in four short
weeks a captive of my
unskillrully devised revolution.
Superego opened the confab,
"Fairfield is a horror show. and
we're its main freaks." There
was disenchantment in my nonbiodegradable
cranium. within
which the harsh black and white
realities of the outside world
were turned to gray.
Nuggets of Nonsense
Ego interjected his nugget of
nonsense into the discourse, "If
the administration would only
stop telling the truth about us
then maybe we would not have to
tell lies about them. What do you
think, Id?"
The visceral Id regurgitated
his sensibilities, sandwiched a

was too late to swallow this final
utterance. Id had finally
divulged his true sentiments
about the Stag Rebellion. The

"Patriot Game" is as revalent
in America today as it was for
Ireland years ago when Dominic
Behan wrote thesong. "Farewell

stunning song on the album with
Judy singing backed only by the
sounds of Humpback Whales.
It is on the second side of the
album. however, where the

Surprisingly enough, Judy's own

original works had been among
the highlights of her last two

simply just a re-hash of
"Albatross" from Wildflowers.
An exception to the general
lackluster quality of the second
side of the album is Judy's
interpretation of Dylan's "Time

song and gives it new meaning

best song on the album,

Music Review
By Pat Long
Judy Collin's latest album,
Whales and Nightingales, is her
first release in almost two years.
When an artist lets so much time
lag between albums, a great deal
of anticipation builds up and it is
,very difficult for the new release
to live up to what is expected of
it. This syndrome, which has
affected other performers like
Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel,
can now count Miss Collins as
one of its victims. Whales and
Nightingales is a spotty album,
featuring some brilliant
performances, but also some
subpar efforts.
This is not to say that this
album is a bad album, in fact if it
were by a new artist I would
consider it very good. However,
this album does not live up to the
promise shown on Wbo Knows
Where The Time Goes? and it is
not as good as we have come to
expect from Judy Collins.
Song Selection
I feel that the main problem
with lhis album is in the
selection of songs - they are
simply not of the usual uniform
high quality which Judy picks.
There are no Joni Mitchell
songs, no Leonard Cohen songs
and even no Sandy Denny songs.
Also, the music on this album
marks a return to the type found
on Wildflowers, rather than a
continuation of Who Knows
Where The Time Goes? I believe
that the harder, almost folk-rock
sound of her /previous album is
more suited to Judy's voice than
the symphonic-type music found
on Wildflowers and on much of
Whales and Nlgbtingales.
Among the songs which I find
fault with are "Amazing

evaluated in terms of their
realistic detail. The set.
costumes, and make-up
r~produce with great ridelity the
historical or physical accuracy
of a specific locale or period. So
verisimilitude becomes a major
norm in judging not only theatre
but also other art forms like the
novel and painting. This
prejudice in favor of ..the slice of
life" strikes me as being at once
vulgar and naive. It derives, I
suspect. from the cinem<l where
the camera records mercilessly
and automatically every blot and
blemish of' our fallibility.
Consequenlly much modern art
simply extends the grotesque
quality inherent in our daily life,
Instead of transporting us from
lhe boredom of our routine. it
fixes us in monotony.
It is not surprising then that
we find so much modern writing
dull. stale, and pretentious. The
penchant for visceral realism
bilstardizes art and destroys its
essential character. Instead of
repeating or reminding us of the
prosaic habits thal attend most
of our work. art challenges the
ortJinary by presenting a foil. a
norm. another context that
might clarify or JUSlify our
continual preoccupation with the
bits and pieces that make up our
daily life.
This is why Wallace Stevens
tells us that poelry like the other
arts helps uS"to live our lives"
by redressing a poverty of
imagination. And The
"'antasticks does this, not by
accumulating a number or props
and realistic scenes, but by,
charming us with lovely
language and melodic gesture. In
short, it has the power of.
transport by reminding us of
Martin Uuber's dictum. "We
imagine the real,"
I{ecllgnizing the fact lhal the
cast and staff had only three and
a half weeks to mount this
production, we applaud their
vi~or and congratulate them on
their achievement.
The principals. Janet Smith
and Chris Scanlan, affect us with
their beauty of tune, pace. and
expression. They sing well. they
dance well. they act well. And
Miss Smith plays Louisa with a
dexterous charm. surpassed only
by her lovely vuice, which I
found thrilling particularly in the
e1arity and precision of her
descant.
I::ach of the supporting
characters. moreover, reveals a
conceptual completeness that
makes the p-roduction buth
intricate vet whole: it coheres
beautifully.
It would be captious then to
comment on untrained voices
and some awkward blocking: the
cast easily compensates for
these peccadillos, and the play
en~a~es the audience with its fun
and hi·jinks. Indeed much of its
Illa/{ic derives from its sense of
the amateur.
Uy this I do not mean that the

"So don't forget/That the rape
you get! Depends on what you
pay." El Gallo sings this for our
benefit. and the play's two
fathers quickly join in-,
The Fantasticks, currently
playing at the campus
Playhouse. turns on this trio. But
the rape they have in mind has
nothin/{ to do with sex. Rather
the:play is concerned with the
abduction of dream and desire,
love's spoil.
Two youngslers fall in love:
and either their love ..... ill grow,
or it will corrupt them. If growth
be a principle of life, then The
Fantasticks dramatizes the
process of ripening.
One analogue- to human
development found in the play is
the vegetable. the radish and
kumquat. As the vegetable
fathers (James Lovelelt and
Doug Roffman) remind us,
"Plant a radish, get a radish,"
But people differ from radishes.
and "'the fantasticks" examine
the difference. It has to do with
suffering and with hurt. so that
apathy i which means an
unWillingness to suffer!
enervates and destroys love's
vitality.
What do apathy and radishes
have in common"! Very simple:
apathy denies the dream, and
radishes cannot dream. Only
humans dream. and this has
something to do with the quality
uf human love as it matures
from September to December.
The Fantasticks explores the
ran/{e of fantasy as it shapes
perception and expectations. So
the girl next dour becomes a
princess living in her castle, and
the boyfriend sees himself as a
roman"tic hero. These illusiuns
may generate love, especially in
Lhe moun's half-light. but can
they sustain love'!

musicale in rhyme. Its magic
lies perhaps in its power to
sURgest a borderline between
innocence and ignorance
\"There must al.....ays be a
wall"), while reconciling the
demands of the world with those
of the visionary.
As the play moves from
September to Uecember. we can
sec and feci and hear these
antithetical claims. Since the
.....orld and the imagination define
the context for our mixed life,
we cannot denv either its

the academic community in the

faculty "~5ultation in major
decisions, particularly those
related to the calling of external
security forces to the campus."
It encourages each college and
university faculty "to assume a
more positive role as guardian of
academic values against
unjustified assaults from its 0'A't1
members." To this end, the
AAUP statement suggests that
faculties give systematic
attention to the\deveIopment of
"a more versatile body of
academic sanctions," including
warnings and reprimands, in
addition to the ultimate sanction
of dismissal.
In all sanctioning efforts. the
statement concludes, "it is vital
that proceedings be conducted
with fairness to the individual,
that faculty judgments play a
crucial role and that adverse
judgments be founded on
demonstrated violations of
appropriate norms."
