didn't,
Voice: What about the FREE
PRESS?
Keilty: At times they do, other
times they don't. What I've
heard from most people is that if
they want to find out the issues
that are bothering the student
body then they go to the FREE
PRESS. I think the FREE
PRESS bas the potential to be
the type of paper I hope to see on
campus - a student run, operated
and written·for paper without
any real or imagined control by
people other than students. At
times they have a mix-up
between news and commentary
but the concept of a student
paper is very important.
Voice: Do you agree with the
concept of a tripartite
newspaper?
Keilty: There is certainly
room on campus for a paper that
is written by people in all areas.
I'm glad to see the two papers on
campus. The kind of rivalry that
exists is a good. honest one,
which keeps both papers trying
to excell. This is very necessary.
Where there is just one paper
very often you may just get one
side of the story. and of course
this is not Rood.
YICPrepares Five
Programs For Action
In Local Community
FollowinR a rather dormant
Fall semester, the Fairfield
Youth Interracial Council has
begun five programs now open to
university students.
A three·fold tutoring program
began Monday with students
instructing the underprivileged
at St. Mary's and St. Anthony's
grade schools in Bridgeport, and
the home of a couple who care
for eight orphans.
Kenneth Daly. president of
Y.I.C., stated that the tutoring
program is the "college answer

events, plays, etc......

Keilty Discusses
Campus Papers
One of the issues which Student
Government Presidential
candidate Greg Keilty has
emphasized is that of
"guaranteeing the rights and
role of the FFPR on campus."
In the followin~ interview Mr.
Keilty commented on the role of
the two campus journals and
gave his opinion of their
relative merits.
Voice: What do you think of
the role of a College Newspaper
is and do the campus newspapers
fuUm this role?
KeUty: Any newspaper has the
job of reportinJi: the facts and
expressing an opinion.
I think there is room lor boUt
the FREE PRESS and the
VOICE on campus. I'm
particularly concerned about the
role of the FREE PRESS and
maintaining it on campus. • J
don't want to see it forced off.
As far as I can see. the VOICE
does a more than adequate job of
presenting the news of what's
happening on campus. from who
is on what committee right down
to sports. The FREE PRESS,
bttause it bas more problems to
overcome, having a purely nonprofessional
student staff and
working on a lower budget, does
not have news as
professionalized as the VOICE's.
However I think that the
student body should have a paper
of their own that does not lie
under any real or potential
administration control. I think
this is a distinct possibility with
the VOICE.
Another problem I find with
the VOICE is that its
commentary just doesn't say
very much. They give a good
idea of what's going on, but not
too much in the way of views. no
soul-searching or interesting
comments.
Voice: Do you think the FREE
PRESS makes sool·searehing
and interesting comments?

Gallagher has always stressed
the importance of the
constitutional convention. He
remarked that the student
segment has made a
considerable amount of
contribution to this convention
on university governance and its
future.
In addition president
Gallagher stated. "a number of
individuals were disheartened by
the large number of faculty who
opposed the recent continuation
of the convention. The success of
this convention is being
challenged by the faculty. The
student and administrative
factions have been accused of
being cohersed. This isn't the
case. it is the faculty who have
been cohersed."
"There are ills within the
proposed ideas being studied at
the convention. I haven't lost
faith in the convention but am
quite optimistic about its
success," concluded Gallagher
on the subject of the convention.

Faculty: Retain Committees
By Larry lIailoran
The second of three faculty
meetings to be held in as many
weeks resulted in the retention
and re-activation of three faculty
committees and the election of
two members to attend future
student legislature meetings.
In a meeting held last Friday
in the Oak Room, approximately
50 faculty members voted to
ignore the Academic Council's
recommendation that the
Liturgical, Student Affairs and
Athletic committees be taken
from the faculty handbook.
The faculty heard Fr. Joseph
Trinkle, S.J. explain why the
committee had not been
functioning since last
september.
Chaplala Speaks
He stated that the members of
the committee. Fr. William
Devine, S.J. and Mr. Lawrence
Kazura had resigned their
positions because they "did not
agree on the manner in which the
chaplaincy was accommodated
within the university." The two
felt that the position should be
separate from the Student
Services division.
Stressing the impor~ of
such a committee, Fr. Trinkle
moved that the committee be
kept in the handbook, and that
new members be elected through
the normal process.
Discussion on the motion
centered around Fr. Coughlin'sl
remarks against the abolition of
the committee bttause he felt
that the move could be
interpreted meaning that "the

area of liturgy and religious

Dennis Gallagher spoke these
words during an interview last

Mr. Gallagher, who will

that the groups be disbanded
because "the University Council
does in fact do the job."
Dr. Dykeman and Dr. Coleman
disagreed with Mr. Davis, saying
that such a group had never
acted as a review board for
student affairs. Dr. Coleman
said that this committee must
"bring academic standards to
bear on university affairs."
Committees overlap
Mr. Shimpf noted that the
athletic committee, as described
in the handbook seemed to
overlap with the student affairs
committee.
Both committees were
retained. but Dr. Rosivach
recommended that the
nominations committee reword
the description of these two
committees in the handbook.
Mr. Paul Davis then moved to
accept the invitation of the
Student Government to send t.....o
faculty members to the meeting
of the legislature to act as

Dr. Coleman spoke against the
move stating that sending
representatives would "signify
that the student government is
integral to this university. and
we have no business doing that."
There was some discussion
early in the meeting over the
admittance of a VOICE

continued. "democratizes the

Tarr - "mill most

In random comments during
the question and answer period.
Dr. Marmion indicated that
"President Nixon has done more
in a positive sense than any other
President. He removed General
Hershey and replaced him with
Curtis Tarr." Dr. Marmion
expressed his opinion of Tarr as
"the man most qualified to be
Director of Selectlve Service."
His final recommendation was
to continue the random system
of selection and end the
educational deferments. "As
onerous as the draft is. it should
be continued," he further added.
Harry A. Marmion is the
President of St. Xavier's College
in Chicago. Illinois. making him
the first Fairfield graduate to
serve as a college president.
Opposition became widespread.
OppoDeals to
Draft Reform
Dr. Marmion briefly discussed
the politics of Selective service
and prefaced his statement by
saying that there have been
several attempts to make the
system more progressive. One of
the primary opponents of this
modernization has been the
former director of the Selective
Service System. General Louis
B. Hershey. who "was so far
beyond the generation gap that
he couldn't even spell it." Also
responsible for nullifying of
possible draft reform are the
southern legislatures who hold
the important committee
chairmanships. These men
include the late Mendel Rivers
and the head of the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
John Stennis.
Attacks Voluateer Army
The concept of the volunteer
army came under severe
attack. ConsKlering it an
attempt to win favor with the
nation's youth. Dr. Marmion
said that "it would not be in the
best interest of the nation."
One of the speakers chief
objections to the volunteer army
was that the nation would find it
difficult to obtain qualified
manpower. Doubting that
officers of good quality could be
persuaded to enlist, he also felt
that there would be difficulty for
the country in fulfilling' the
requirements of almost two and
a half million men without the
draft.
Dr. Marmion's other major
complaint was part of a dilemma
hinged on the first objection.
"Even if we were to get the
necessary manpower." he
explained. "we would create a

the American people have

adding that even at the birth of

compulsory service, he noted.
was the outset of the Civil War
which led to riots in many of the
northern cities when the
"People just couldn't get used
to the idea of compulsory
conscription. "
Dr. Marmion emphasized that
the draft "has been with us ever
since" the government of the
United States used the process of
conscription to meet the
manpower requirements of
World Wars One and Two.
Marmion went on further to
assert that the draft had been
taken for ~ranted until the Viet

As a result of the case brought
against the Y.I.C. in the student

The Student Government has
announced its plans to hold an
open forum on community
problems and prejudices to be
held next Thursday. The forum
will attempt to identify unifying
factors on the campus as well as
provide positive discourse on
causes and effects of division.
The phrase community has
been bantered about the
Fairfield University campus
since its inception. Community
has certainly become a focus of
intense dialogue at the current
Constitutional Convention. and
there is certainly room for more
discussion there. Yet such
discussions can often be far
afield of everyday problems and
prejudices. In an attempt to
solve some of those mundane
conflicts the Student
Government is sponsoring an
open forum on varying lifestyles
at Fairfield.
The session to be held at 3:30
p.m. in the Oak Room of the
Campus Center on February II
will seek to identify forces
which unite members of the
Fairfield community and
provide a better insight into the
attitudes which provide divisive
in an attempt to eliminate ill
will.
Are members of the faculty
unnecessarily patronizing? Is
race prejudice. even in its
unconscious forms an unchecked
catalyst of division on this
campus? Do Blacks and Whites
enjoy meaningful social
relationships on a large scale. or
is it a limited few who manage to
overcome contemporary
prejudices? Are C(lmmuting
students. "day-bops," "brownbaggers,"?
Is it possible for a
general spirit of good will to
exist at Fairfield; are we trying
hard enough to develop tbat
spirit?
Thomas McKinney will serve
as the cbairman of the event. As
with all Government events. all
members of the University
Community are invited.

A small part of the tropics has

Another studenl, Mary Ann

"tf the goals of the tri-partite
governance are established, I
would hope that the present
student governmental structure
could be made into an
anachronism, a force of the
past." replied Gallagher to a
question concerning the
direction of tbe student
government.
Fallagher retorted. ·'The key
to a bendinl': tri-partite
government seems to rest within
an enlarged board of trustees
allowing students and faculty
members to sit on the board."
CoacJudiDg Remarks
"There seems to be a gap
between some faculty members
and the students they come in
contact with in such bodies as
the University Council and the
Constitutional Convention, not to
mention informal gatherings.
The gap can be termed by one
phrase showing a lack o( respect.
Some (acuity members accuse
students of this. However the
best way to earn respect is to
show respect."
Mr. Gallagher's (inal note was
a message to the entire
community: "AU members of
this university. from the Board
o( Trustees to the indivklual
student. sbould take part in
evaluating the teaching and
learning process here at
Fairlield. This must be an
ultimate goal and firSt priority."
(Continued From Page I)
Gallagher placed emphasis on
the successful establishment of
three of these points: the new
academic calendar, the
enjoyment of the plus system in
grades, and an expanded
financial committee.
He did add that the expansion
of seminar courses and the
reduction of philosophy core
credits to six haven't been
achieved.
SludeDt Legislalure
"The most confronting
problem with this year's
legislature is about 60 • 70% of

Dennis.
Gallagher did praise the

during last semester and he feels
that this same ~y will serve

Commenting on the changing
attitudes of the university
administrators. Gallagher
spoke: "I have observed an

needs and problems of the

"There is one exception. the

intended as an innovative adventure in education.
Prep students in Capsule have been assured by University officials
that they can continue this program on the colle,giate level at
Fairfield. The third year class, about fourteen students, are now
preparing for admission into the University in the fall semester.
The program on the Prep level has been a success. It has featured
concentrated seminar studies in a wide variety of subjects as well as
summer programs in communications media and European
experience. How it will be conducted on the collegiate level remains
for the Cuture to tell, and the time is growing short.
While the University has long committed itself to conducting the
program, it was only this past week - at this late date - that the first
realistic step was taken to prepare for the Prep students. After a long
standing recommendation by the Faculty Curriculum Committee, a
director for the program has finally been appointed. Pror. Richard
Regan is charged with the task of getting the program off the ground.
Pror. Regan is to be commended for accepting the challenging
responsibility of directing Capsule. Not only is he faced with
organizing a program that matches in quality what has been
accomplished on the prep level, but he will also have to manage the
complex mechanics of meeting degree requirements. Hopefully. all
academic departments will offer their cooperation.
The capsule students, will be a welcome (addition) to the
University. Unfortunately, we have been too slow in expediting the
development of this program. If this is the speed at which innovative
experiments in education will be implemented in the future, they may
never reach orbital altitude.

The student h': '1y has three major advantages in its "struggle" with
the academicians and the bureaucracy. Students have great concern
for what happens at this university since they are paying great
amounts to enjoy the benefits of this place. They have powers of
ingenuity that stem from their desire to constantly improve the
standard of their education. And finally they have power as a
consequence of their numbers. Perhaps this is a most crude definition
of power but it is a sobering fact that has become very apparent to
university administrations in recent years.
This combination of attributes along with a few others adds up to a
powerful tool that can be used by students in their battle. Today, in
universities, battles are generally civilized, that is representatives of
various sectors do the actual combat, which is usually verbal. For the
student sector that is interpreted to mean, a student government does
the fighting for its people. And that government had better know what
the people want.
At Fairfield the student body has an easy chance of losing their
power. They can lose it by choosing to ignore the up-coming student
government presidential election. So far there has been little
opportunity for the students to voice their opinion on issues affecting
them. Instead issues have been dictated to them.
So far the issues that have been brought out, they are few in
number, have received no serious clash. Unfortunately the field of
candidates is painfully slim to bring about the clash that is so
necessary to clarify and sharpen issues.
The Student body thus far has been negligent in taking the
candidates to task over programs and proposals. The weeks preceding
the election have been a cakewalk !'ather than a campaign. One is
reminded of the 1920 United States Presidential campaign when
Warren G. Harding campaigned from his front porch and let the
political machine do the rest.
Certainly a student body that gives its President a 40,000 budget to
control should expect more from the candidates to that office.
Certainly a student body who entrusts its president with the
responsibility of delineating its position on social and academic
reform can expect more from the candidates to that office. And
certainly since the student body places in its president's hands the
power to argue its cause for a voice in university governance it should
demand more of its candidates.
A poor showing at the polls on Tuesday, February 9th will
jeopardize student power. It will raise doubts concerning the student
body's concern and the legitamacy of the candidate who wins the
presidential office. And if the campaign continues t.o be as
pathetically bland as it has been so far the government will be equally
dull.
The student body deserves better.
Time For Decision
The Constitutional Convention has been sheer disappointment and
frustration. The delegates are on the surface open and friendly but
beneath that happy exterior they are frivolous and untrusting. It
makes the outward appearance.look hideously hypocritical. This love
of cloaking true emotions provides the convention with an air of
congeniality but lends itself to the blocking out of any statement made
by one delegate that does not jive with the view of another delegate. It
also leads to mass unacceptance of any committee work by the body
as a whole leaving said body the formidable task of. constantly
examining and re-examining the entire Constitution section by
section. The document is basically sound and each time it is re·
examined its basic soundness is reaffinned.
The untrustworthiness on the part of the delegates also lends itself
to a stubbarness to accept anything the convention passes that does
not agree with personal thoulZhts. This leads to an ignorance of trends
in the body and an ignorance of the reasons why particular actions are
taken which results in the delegate not being able to explain to his
constituents what the convention has done or why it has done what it
does.
The convention is also hampered by the fact that new delegations
were elected by all three sectors of the university. These delegations
were expected to take up and finish a partially completed document.
Unfortunately some of the new delegates, for one reason or another,
chose to ignore the efforts of the previous sessions and have come into
this year's sessions with the intention of completely rewriting the
document. This intention is indeed noble. but many of the delegates
carried over from last year rightfully refuse to have their efforts so
unquestionably blasted into thin air. This confrontation creates a
marvelous friction in the forensics best traditions but makes the
meeting room of the convention in the eyes of the delegates "a
seething cauldro'n of black pitch".
One of the uglier by~products of this confrontation is the formation
of cliques, which although tripartite in nature do more to squelch open
and purposeful discussion than any single factor. It is sickening and
disheartening to see whole couchfuls of people uniformity wagging
their heads to the tune of a favorable speech for no other reason than
to assure other members of his cabal of their unwavering loyalty.
There are some very positive trends in the convention, but they are
too miniscule to mention at this tipte.

Semester
TIle lillo_inc is adapted
hom an address by the ptesMent
or the uni versib' to the
General Faculty on Januar,y
21,1911.
Ecology was the subject of the
January Community Forum here
at the University. It revealed
three points: t) that
environment is a very popular
topic for discussion: 2) that
environment does not
automatically exist; 3) that
there are at least two sides to
every practical question.
In looking ahead to the Spring
semester. it seems equally true
that the campus environment is
a popular topic, that there are
many perceptions as to how it
should be created or preserved.
and tbat it does not
automatically exist. I would like
to explore that environment in
the context of four areas of
concern to the entire university:
1) governance; 2) resources: 3)
community liIe; 4) educational
policies.
The Community Forum
discussion on ecology provides a
further insight into the nature of
the challenges ahead. One
speaker outlined the many ways
in which citizens can participate.
Her main focus was on who is
going to make the decisions. The
second speaker focused not on
who was going to decide but
rather what decisions had to be
made. It made a difficult
dialogue because both questions
are pertinent.
Questions of both wbo and
what have to be asked. Any
attempt to reduce a situation
eIc!usively to a question of
either who or what
oversimplifies the problem or
ignores the real issues. Our
areas of concern will involve not
only a process but also a
substantive question. We must
be concerned with both politics
and academics. and know both
the possibilities and limits of
both. Especially, in' an 'age that
can amplify tecbnologically all
of our discussions far beyond the
range or: parlor conversation and
which insistently requests that
all "speak up" in the dialo~ue,
we must be careful to consider
the complexity of our problems
of governance and education. of
community life and pbysical
resources by asking both who
should decide the questions and
what questions are to be decided.
The current mood on campus
seems to favor the former. The
desire to bave a greater share in
decisions is a characteristic both
of our society and our campus. In
its ultimate form it poses only
one question: who is to have
power? But there are other
ramifications, not as
spectacularly stated but of equal
consequence. Does our
committee system really work?
Is psychological weariness - and
loss of temper - from long
meetings, endless argument, and
rhetorical confusion overtaking
productivity itself? Does
excessive empbasis on the
distribution of power ignore the
practical problem of
implementation? Are we so
concerned with who is to decide
issues that we overlook what the
real issues are?
Certainly in 19"11 there is no
longer any question as to
wbether all the members of an
academic community should
share in decision making or not.
Both in its structure and its
operation the university must
allow for this collegiality in
some way. But the critical
question remains: bow much and
in what areas? That is the
current point at issue. It is as yet
unresolved.
An intelligent response
depends fint on a recognition of
what decisions have to be made.
There is need to distinguish the
problem as well as see it. There
is need to gather information, to
employ tbe resources of
expertise, to arrange data
coberently. Especially is there a
need to define goals and
nbjectlves more precisely.
Further, there is a need to
determine those non-negotiable
assumptions at the core of the
esistence of the university, to be
sensitively aware of the
technical options available, and
to recognize the complexity of
the enterprise itself.
Politicizalion of every issue in
the university would be fatal'
over-simplification of those
issues would be harmful. The
politics of the situation may be
most attractive in debate. but
the substance of the problem
itself must also be taken into
account if a reasonable solution
is to be attempted. .
Si~nificant decisions.
involving the questions of both
who and what. face us this
coming semester. it will be
necessary for all to understand
and participate if the university
is to live and grow.
~view
The first semester has been a
good one. The willingness with
which students returned to
classes in the fall and the
direction which the faculty bas
been able to provide for the
learning process have been two
major factors in creating a
healthy atmosphere on campus.
The sensitive recognition by
many that the university is
fragile has been most helpful in
first semester: the eager
attitude to get on with the work
of teaching and learning is the
best prophecy for the future.
GovenaDCe
several groups within the
university have been actively
involved in the issue of
governance of the institution.
The Board of Trustees SubCommittee
on University
Structure has held extensive
meetings during the summer and
fall with those in the community
who wanted to discuss variations
in the pattern of governance.
Their hearings have been
concluded and their conclusions
presented to the full Board. We
hope to have a report to the
community following the
February meeting of the
Trustees.
At the same time a Neutral
Commission to investigate the
charges of last spring bas been
organized and is scbeduled to
meet this week. Achainnan has
been chosen from outside: Mr.
Alex Waugb. former Provost of
the University of Connecticut.
Some have felt that I. as
President, would be
embarrassed by being "on trial.
as a person" before such a
Commission. Such is not the
case. since I consider the
Commission to be an attempt to
gather objective evidence on
what actually occurred last
spring. Its findings should be
available this semester.
The University Council, too,
has also been actively engaged in
questions of governance both on
a practical and theoretical level.
As a relatively new structure in
the university, it is not well
understood nor has its
fuoctionintl been completely
efficient.
Perhaps the best clarification
of the present status of this
advisory group of faculty,
administrators and students can
be quoted from the public
response by tbe Council
secretary to a query by a faculty
member as to its precise natu~.
He writes:
The University Council is a
completely open instituUon
developed by the university
tbrougb its faculty,
administration aDd student
body to deal with problems.
issues and ideas that affect
tbe university. It has
absolutely no legislative.
judicial or executive
functions. It merely is
advisory. The only decision
making it perlonns is in
reference to its own internal
operation.
That, it seems to me, should
belp to allay the fears of some
who feel the Council bas usurped
great power. It should encourage
others to keep in touch wUh the
activities of the Council, lest the
Council cease to represent the
views of many individuals.
In one instance I feel the
Council has been too slow to
respond. Two faculty members,
on separate occasions, wrote to
me concerning material in the
newspapers on campus. In both
cases I forwarded the letters to
the Council for their advice. In
neither case has a response been
forthcoming. It is my
understanding that at the
present time the Council is
developing a positive approacb
to responsible journalism by
creation of a Media Review
Board. While such a Board does
not answer the problems of the
past. it will, hopefully, help to
mitigate them in the future. I
regret, however, that I have not
been able to satisfy the
legitimate concern of the faculty
members as of this date.
One major effort of the
University Council the
convocation of a Constitutional
Convention is presently
underway. The Convention is
focusing on both who should be
making decisions in the
university and what decisions
need to be made as the
institution adapts to modern
chanll:es in the academic world.
There is widespread confusion and
even apprehension - as to
what is really going on. The
faculty discussion at its last
general faculty meeting
indicates that there are great
differences of opinion,
particularly in regard to a
University Senate. No one is
quite sure. at this time, of the
outcome of the discussions. But I
might point out that when a
Constitution has been prepared it
will be submitted to the facuIty
and to the Student Government
and to the Administrative Board.
[f from these groups some
consensus can be gained, it will
require approval by the Board of
Trustees before implementation.
Much is yet to be done before our
governance pattern is
substantially chanied.
An exclusively faculty body is
the Academic Council ....1!ich
serves as "the executive ann of
the General Faculty." It meets
bi-monthly and has a long
agenda. At the beginning of the
fall semester I asked the Council
to discuss and to convey to me
their ideas regarding a review of
our objectives and goals. a
general education program, the
possibility of an undergraduate
urban studies curriculum, and
the role of the faculty in student
life. To date the Council bas not
been able to get to these items.
tbouf{h they have begun to look at
their own faculty committee
structure.
1 would hope that in second
semester the Academic Council
might find ways to streamline its
operation and provide a better
forum for the discussion of some
of our major academic concerns.
Some decisions simply cannot
wait untU they work their way up
the long ladder of an ordered
agenda and many overtime
meetings. Particularly
important. it seems to me, is for
each sector of the university faculty,
administration, students
- to define more clearly its own
role within the institution. Just
what is the responsibility of the
faculty? On what issues should it
make decisions? Hopefully we
might create some alternatives
to the large general faculty
meeting and the overagendaed
small Academic Council as fora
for discussions of tbis vital
aspect of governance.
A statement on faculty
freedom and responsibility by
the national chapter of the
AAUP has recently been
publisbed. May I suggest that
our local cbapter of AAUP and
our Academic Council might
wish to discuss this important
document at their respective
meetings. Perbaps it migllt lake
priority over some of the less
academic topics on the agenda of
these groups, and provide the
ent.i.re community with the
benefit of faculty reactions on
this central issue of freedom and
responsibility.
Reso.r~
Our pbysical resources, like
our forms of governance, can no
longer be taken for granted.
The new Bannow Science
Center is now in operation for
classes. It will be formally
dedicated on Sunday afternoon,
April 18. I would ask that our
faculty, administrators and
students arrange an appropriate
ceremony to welcome tbe
newest and largest addition to
our campus plant.
The Communications Center
has moved its school to Xavier
Hall. University Relations has
consolidated its operation
mainly in Loyola Hall. The
convent next door will continue
as a residence for girls next year
and 90 new spaces will be
available in tbe southeast
donnitory for Fall, 1971.
This will largely conclude. for
the present. the major physical
expansion of our plant. Any
future additions will be in the
area of housing. supported by
self-liquidating financing.
. The great increase in
facilities. added to the
inflationary costs of operations,
has placed the university in a
tight financial bind. During
November the operating loss of
last year was renected painfully
in the necessity to borrow from
the banks until second semester
tuitions started to come in. and
also delay paying some of our
outstanding bills. The current
balanced budjilet and the
cooperation of all in keeping
expenses und~r control will
prevent our situation from
worsening beyond our control
this spring. and will help us to
improve it next year.
Faculty salaries, a major cost
of the institution, are currently
under discussion by a Faculty
Salary Committee and the
administration. whose
spokesman is the Academic Vice
President. Father Coughlin.
When an agreement is reacbed
the general faculty will be asked
to approve its committee's work
and the Board of Trustees will be
called upon to give its final
approval of the package.
As far as outside State or
Federal assistance is concerned,
the outlook is pessimistic. The
deficit position of the State of
Connecticut and the lack of high
priority for education on the
national scene make the
possibility of siJnificant public
aid a question marl. Only the
very serious financial distress of
many colleges throuKhout the
country - recently publicized in
the Association of American
Colleges report - may speed up
the arrival of public aid. We are
working on the state level with
the Conference of Independent
Colleges to seek both
institutional and student aid. The
fate of our proposal in the
legislature CanDOt be accurately
predicted, hence it is DOt a
definite new source of revenue at
this time.
The security of our campus, a
growing problem, has been
maintained by increasing
vigilance and more sopbisticated
methods of prevention. This bas
meant a larger staff and more
expense, but the safety and
protection of all members of the
community is vital. Security
requires the coopentioo of all.
The issuance of lD cards bas
helped to identify our own
members of the community. Tbe
use of car-checking particularly
on weekends, bas perhaps
inconvenienced some
momentarily, but iH well worth
lbe cost in increased protection
for all. Students are now being
used in the, non-bazardous parts
of security. According to the
Director, Mr. Barrett, they have
proveD most belpful. TtIe
experiment has shown that
students are willing and able to
share responsibility as well as
power. A24 hour dispatcher is on
duty to handle all security calls.
and an emergency phone number
is listed on the Cront of the new
telephone directory.
Communications is another
aspect of our resources and
environment. During the first
semester two newspapers have
appeared on campus. One is
published officially by the
university, employs a paid
professional editor and has a tripartite
editorial board. The
otber is an independent
newspaper published by students
with student oIt:ovemment funds.
While I have met no one who
agrees totally with either
project, I believe that many
would agree with me that both a
university newspaper and an
independent newspaper have
roles on campus as part of the
communications network of a
university. Though newspapers
at universities have traditionally
been exdusively student affairs.
the unique venture of a
community ne'NSpaper has a
special function to ruUiIl. I hope
that faculty and administrators.
who are not generally
accustomed to contributing to a
campus newspaper. will add
their services to the staff now
working in this new medium of
communication.
To improve communications
further. I would like to SUgji!est
that the undergraduate social
science departments and the
Graduate School of
Communications might initiate
research into the process of
communication on campus. In
spite of some intense exposure in
recent years. we have very little
information and perhaps less
understanding of the way in
which . communication is
effected. Our instruments for
exploring altitudes or bringing to
light bidden frustrations are
either crude or non-existent.
Surely a university should be
able to learn from its own
personal experiel;lce if it is to
teach the rest of the world.
Comm••lty Life
The objectives of Fairfield
University. implemented in its
operation. seek the education of
a person. not the training of a
brain. Tbe university is,
therefore. necessarily concerned
witb the life styles of its students
particularly as they relate to its
academic lI:oa15. In a few short
years, our method of dealing
with this aspect of education.
especially in the dormitories.
has undergone rapid
modification. The time has
come, therefore. to ask whether
the change has been good or bad.
Many colleges are asking the
same question as we. Our
approach is to initiate a process
for answering the question in a
manner appropriate to a
univenity.
Under the direction of the
Student Services division. a
questionnaire has been
circulated to a cross-section of
the university community to
probe their perceptions of the
goals of donnitory living. A
second phase will be to collect
data on the present state of
student living in relation to those
goals. When this hu been
collated, an outside evaluation
will be sougbt from professionals
concerned with student life in
other colleges. Finally,
recommendations will be
fonnulated. The project should
be completed in ellf'ly spring.
In my mind this work is
significant as a reasonable effort
to explore a problem which bas
few parallels in past experience.
Hopefully it will provide an
alternative to those who claim
that the official school policy is
now pure pennissiveness (it is
not) or those who want to return
to the "good old days" of iron
rule (we cannot).

are no longer an integral part of
the University. but we also
suffer from extreme feelings of
inferiority wrought by the
oppressionist policies of the
Student Government and
General Faculty.
Therefore. in order to rectify
the plight of the Fairfield
administrator we propose the
following totally non·negotiable
demands:
III The immediate and
unconditional resignation of the
Student Government President
and his banishment from the
campus grounds. As a J!:esture of
good will LA FF recommends
that he be granted visitation
rights on Sunday afternoons
between the hours of 1 and 3
P.M.
(2) The dissolution of the
bigoted Constitutional
Convention and its replacement
.....ith a body more sympathetic to
the alienated administrator.
(3) The recognition of
Thursdays as Administration
Appreciation Day.
(4) The construction of a new
SJ. Hayikawa Memorial Lounge
for administrative use only.
Funds will be provided from the
Student Gov't. Activities Fee.
(5) An increase in the number
of administrators until parity
with the total student population
is reached.
(6) A Theodore Hesburgh
Center for Administrative
Studies, the sole purpose of
which will be to prepare future
colleJ!:e administrators.
Finally. LAFF demands that
all of the above be accepted
within 24 hours or it will bomb
the Faculty Dining Room and
office of the FF'PR. Should this
fail to achieve our objectives
LAFF pledges to hijack the
Student Gov't van. kidnap Kevin
McAuliffe. and hold him hostage

more optimistic stance, "One
encounters the essence of
scholarly refinement not in halls
of recreation. but in the
classroom. The impediment of
non-educatory processes is
therefore irrelevant and not
germane to this body."
After hours of continual debate
the meeting adjourned with no
substantive proposal having been
adopted.

Later in a statement release<!
only to reporters for the
University Voice, Fr. McInnes
asserted, "For too long the

repression of this honky

saw no reason why these

Dr. Grossman stated that he
felt that the all·faculty
committee was being intruded
upon and added that his feelings
would be the same even if the
president had formed another
alHaculty committee for the
purpose of reviewing
scholarships.
Mr. Grace also posed the
question of why the subje<:t of
reviewing scholarships had not
been dealt with at an earlier date
and asked whether this was
merely due to the fact that the
faculty committee had been lax.
Fr. Coughlin explained that he
didn't think it a case of the
facUlty being lax but recognized
the fact that the idea of
"review"'had never been given
much thought. previous to
Buccino's proposal. He added
that. in his opinion, although he
considered the problem to be a
real one it didn·t seem to warant
the manpower present on the
twelve-man tripartite
committee.

who noted that there was an

of tripartitism arising,
suggested that members of the

attempt to decide v..hether two

Robert Buccino, the student
delegate who performed the
original research which led to
the committee proposal.
explained that he received his
original impetus from the fact
that in the past scholarships
tended to be renewed. annually
with little or no regard to the

Another administrative
delegate. William Lucas.
director of financial aid, noted
for this problem to be alleviated
there would have to be some

"evidentally there is none."
In support of Mr. Lucas' point.

Group's Future
By TimothyG"race
The future of the newly formed
tripartite committee on
undergraduate scholarships
appears to be in question as its
members spent most 01 their
initial meeting, last Friday.
questioning whether or not a
need existed for the new
committee while the faculty's
Committee on Scholarships and
Admissions is still operating.
Committee members
generally agreed. however. that
a number of the issues brought
up at the meeting. such as annual
review of scholarships. merited
further consideration and thus
voted, informally. to hold
another meeting tomorrow in the
Campus Center at 3:30 p.m.
Committee Cruted
The Committee was formed
early this year by the University
President, The Rev. William C.
McInnes, in response to a
proposal submitted by student
intern Robert Buccino ii, last
summer.
But the tripartite group was
unable to meet durinJ!: the fall
semester when the faculty
sector failed to appoint
representatives because it felt
that the president's committee
would be assuming
responsibilities already
delegated to their Committee on
Scholarships and Admissions.
Committee chairman, the
Rev. George Gallarelli, S.J.,
director of admissions, opened
the meeting by attempting to
clear up the apparent conflict
which had arisen between the
new committee and the faculty.
He read a letter addressed to
him from Fr. Mcinnes
concerning the implementation
of the ad hoc committee "to
award and review" the
undergraduate scholarship
program which was formerly
done by the faculty Committee
on Scholarshi~s and Admissions.
AdmiSSIOns Explains
Fr. Gallarelli explained.
however. that even the president
couldn't abolish an already
existing faculty committee
which was listed in the faculty
handbook without first baving a
vote of the general faculty. The
faculty committee would,
therefore, still award the five
Presidential Scholarships which
are the only awards that the
university gives to incoming
freshmen on the basis of merit
only.
The tripartite committee
would be responsible for anually

Presidential scholars and the 16

period including a nifty shot with

St. John's attempted to come
back in the second and third
periods. tallying their two goals
of the evening but goals by
Vierling and Monahan put it
away for Fairfield.
Stags Penalized Heavoy
A total of 36 minutes in
penalties was accumulated by
the two teams. Six minutes were
against St. John's and 26 against
Fairfield. Defensemen Jerry
Michaud accounted for 18
minutes of the Stags' total
including a ten minute

could channel these efforts into
constructive and useful methods
that would lead to the
improvement of individual
instruction while protecting the
rights of all. This is a delicate
and sensitive task and requires
intelligent particiPation by many
people in order to be worthwhile.
If it is going to come, which
seems likely, it would be much
better to have it come as a
community project.
Finally in the area of
educational policy. we need
more vigorous efforts towards
some form of urban education.
Everything we have done in the
past--individually or
colle<:tively-is not sufficient in
the light of the urban problems
of 1971. The university is a major
intellectual resource of the
surrounding community and
must contribute both as citizen
and as professional.
The Higher Education Center
for Urban Studies. our 5institution
consortium. has some
new "seed funds" available for
faculty research in urban
problems and would welcome
faculty interest. Individual
participation--by faculty.
students or administrators-in
any of the many social agencies
of the area would fill a very
large void of citizen support.
Suggestions for any type of
urban studies curriculum would
help to keep alive the fruits of
the interdisciplinary facultystudent
seminar of last year.
In any case we are allindividually
and institutionallycommitted
to citizenship in our
community. We must find new
ways in which to express that
obligation.
CoaclusioD
I have outlined above some of
the challenges facing us in the
second semester in the 4 areas of
governance, resources,
community life and educational
policy. I have suggested that we
explore these challenges in the
context both of what decisions
should be made and also who
should make them.
In my opinion, if we do this we
may not solve all of our
problems-but we will be a better
university for trying.

accounted for 14 points and 14
assists, played an outstanding
game and came in for much
praise from both Rowe and
Barakat after the game.
The first semester attempts at
forming a graduate student
association have failed. Could we
find out why this is so? Also. we
know very little about the results
of our graduate school education
for our teachers. We need some
follow-up studies of their success
in their field, their performance
record, and their opinions about
their education. All of this
knowledge could provide a much
more substantial base for our
planning for the decade ahead.
Educalional Policy
There is no area in which
continual adaptation and study
are more needed than that of
educational policy.
The curriculum committee
finished its report last summer.
Changes in the course of studies
were instituted this fall. But
revision is a never ending task.
The curriculum committee is
still operating and next week I
will meet with them to discuss
the new standards of the New
England Association of Colleges
for liberal arts colleliles. U a
liberal education is to be more
than a stereotype in the
classroom and a slogan in the
catalogue. it will have to be kept
alive and nexible.
The academic calendar has
weathered its first change and a
last minute revision. My general
impression is that the students
liked the rearrangement of first
semester and the lengthy
Christmas break. A faculty
evaluation is not yet available. I
would hope that the Academic
Council would arrange soon for a
systematic report on the
experience of the faculty this
past year. Next year's tenative
calendar will be submitted
shortly to the Council and to the
Student Government for their
suggestions so that the
Academic Vice President may
make a final determination of
next year's schedule before April
1. It would be helpful to have the
insight of the past to plan for
tomorrow.
The evaluation of the faculty is
another unfinished business of
the univer!lIty. There is some
indication that students are
planning a teacher evaluation

Outlook
(Continued From Page 5)
Not only should we try to
understand more fully the social
life of our students but also their
academic life. There is need to
explore more deeply the students
who leave Fairfield and "drop
out." Perhaps they can tell us
something about our way of life
that those who stay do not share.
The drop-out rate here is not
unusual, but even so an
investigation of this problem,
with a view to planning for our
future. might be helpful and I
would hope that Student Services
could shed some light on this
dark area.
The graauate student. too,
needs greater understanding.
Why is the graduate student so

down to maintenance and see if
U1ey had already sent the proper
forms to the treasurer's office.
If they didn 't, he wanted me to
get copies of the room listings
that I had been in. When I got
down there. I found out that my
complaint had been put in the
dead files. for no apparent
reason. I had the papers copied
and brouj;lht them to Mr.
Madonia. We established a price
that I should have received, and
he said he would have his
se<:retary work on it the next
day. sending the forms to the
treasurer's office. He told me
that t should receive my money
in a few days and that he would
have it sent to my home address.
I waited over the holidays for
four weeks without any sign of
the money. Two days after
getting back from Christmas
vacation I went to see Mr.
Madonia. He showed me an
inter·office memo that had been
sent out on December 21, 1970 to
Mr. Stone at the treasurer's
office saying that I was to get a
rebate. Mr. Madonia said that
his office did all that it could,
that it was now out of their
hands.
It is now January 28, 1971. and
I still haven't received the
money due to me from October,
1970. Who do I turn to now?

I thought maybe that the
treasurer's office had forgotten
to notify me. but when I checked
with them. they had no record of
any check for me. I then went to
see Mr. Krell. but I was asked to
see his secretary instead. She
called maintenance and they
said they were working on it and
it should be about another week.
After waiting another week and
a half. I went back to Mr. Krell's
office and his secretary called
maintenance again. They said
my name was on the top of the
list and it should go out shortly. I
then waited again until the
Wednesday after Thanksgiving
to go to see Mr. Madonia. at the
suggestion of Mr. Krell's
secretary. He called
maintenance and they gave the
same response. I felt my
patience running out and he told
me that I had to be more patient.
I thought 1 had been patient
enouRh about four weeks before
this time. I waited some more
and still didn't receive it. So
about a week before Christmas
break I went back to Mr.
Madonia and he was surprised to
see me back. Immediately he
asked if I had received it yet and
I told him no. He told me to IilO
to put it mildly, both UConn and
WTIC officials were upset about
the ruling. Reportedly, Ueonn
might use the scuffle as an
excuse to discontinue the infant
series between the two schools.
Since the Stags will be playing in
the new New Haven Coliseum
the next time the Huskies visit
here the problem would not arise
again.

into the green hills of Vermont to
see their idols there.
Undaunted. this sect 'bolstered
in numbers. saw the Stags smite
UConn's Huskies in the New
Haven Area. You had to be there
since the money-grubbing
management of the Arena
prohibits radio broadcasting
from its hallowed halls.
Resllrrect Trad.itioD
Many a fan has seen a Stag
hoopster kneel down before the
scorer's table or the Bench of
Barakat, many more will in the
future as they see the Stags
resurrect a winning tradition and
attain national ranking.
To borrow a political term, all
that is missing is for some
"angel" to donate the cold cash
so that the Stags may get out of
their poorly designed, iIIequipped
gymnasium and into a
sorely needed athletic center
which would benefit all.
Who dares chance heresy by
contradicting these words? The
Athletic Department which is
understarred and underpaid has
worked many miracles in the
oast.

several weeks ago In Sports
Illustrated there was an article
on Notre Dame University. In
that article, the author claimed
that at the South Bend campus
football was taken as seriously
as the Virgin Birth. It seems now
thaI with the fightinjl lrishes'
upset basketball victory over
previously undefeated and
number one ranked UCLA that
the roundball sport has reached
parity with the gridiron exploits
or Ara Parseghian's troops.
It seems that an intense fervor
about basketball pervades many
a Catholic collejle campus this
winter. Fairfield is no exception.
To steal that line from Sports
Illustrated. basketball at
Fairfield is taken as seriously as
the Virllin Birth. Good
basketball and a Catholic
education 110 hand in hand.
At Fairfield there are many
who take basketball more
seriously than their religion, but
there are an equal number of
students and Jesuits who take
the former more seriously.
Antagonism Unnecessary
The groups need not be
antagonistic towards one
another or mutually exclusive.
We might call a compromising
attitude for the t.....o groups,
"spiritual athleticism." Theirs
is a devotion among some
worshipers of the hardcourt
which goes beyond simple
allegiance to the Stags' best
sport. Such devotion can be
illustrated by the small core of
fans who made the pilgrimage
