Fairfield's Alumni Association.
A ~raduate of Fairfield in 1953,
Dr. Marmion became the
university's first alumnus to serve
as a college president when he
was named to the position at St.

review, the late Senator Robert F.
Kennedy cited Dr. Marmion's
work as "the best and most
exhaustive description ... of what
happened to the attempt to reform
the draft. As such it serves as an
excellent case study of how
frustrating it can be to try to
change large established
institutions. "

Fairfield University offers
honors seminars for those
academically talented students
who desire intellectual
relationships with their faculty
that are not ordinarily possible in
the classroom.
These programs have been
established in several academic
areas. One interdisciplinary
seminar is offered on the arts,
while another is conducted in the
sciences which goes beyond the
facts of the diciplines to consider
the interrelationship of the
various aspects of science.
The nature of the honors
seminars. and the requirements
for entrance will be among topics
covered during the discussion.
Faculty Meeting Today
A General Faculty meeting
will be held today at 3:30 p.m.
in the Campus Center Oak
Room. Topics on the agenda
include: a report of the
Constitutional Convention
delegates. the president's
report on the State of the
University, and Facul ty
handbook revisions.
Over the past five years the
Carlson Art Series has continued
to bring the works of nationally
recognized artists from Fairfield
County to the campus.
The foundation has also
provided the university with a
scholarship that is awarded
annually to an outstanding student
from the Greater Bridgeport area.
Many other educational,
religious and private
organizations have benefited from
the Carlson's generosity. Their
dedication to fostering
appreciation of the arts and other
cultural endeavors has earned
them wide acclaim in the
community.
This major foundation grant
boosts the total amount of funds
pledged to Fairfield University's
Capital Campaign past the $3.2
million mark. The three-year first
phase of the capital drive
concludes on December 31.
A discussion of the nature and
content of the honors seminars
conducted at Fairfield University
will be the topic for this month's
Faculty Lecture set for Jan. Zl at
3:45 o'clock in the Campus Center
Oak Room.
This lecture series, which is
sponsored by the Fairfield chapter
of the American Association of
University Professors, is open to

Carlson Foundation Gives
F. U. $25,000 Contribution
The Board of Governors of the
Carlson Foundation have voted to
give Fairrield University a
contribution of $25.000 for the
library as well as continue its
support of a scholarship and the
cultural program. I
The University President. the
Rev. William C. Mcinnes, S.J.,
commented: "From my personal
acquaintanceship with "Bill"
Carlson and in recognition of his
widespread community interest,
we are delighted that he is now
part of Fairfield University...
In appreciation of the
foundation's generosity, the
university will permanently
recognize the Carlsons by naming
a section of the library in their

$2 Million Structure
Fairfield's $2 million library
was opened to the community in
September, 1968. The modern
three-story structure which was
designed by the architectural firm
of Eggers and Higgins of New
York. is capable of housing more
than 300.000 volumes and
providing seating for 625 in air­conditioned,
carpeted areas.
More than sixty per cent of its
total seating capacity is devoted
to special study carrels which are
located along the outer walls with
the open book stacks filling the
interior. This design provides the
student privacy without isolation
while doing his work.
Seminar study rooms, faculty
research studies. a typing room, a
conference area and
administrative offices are also
located in this building.
Carlson Foundation
One of Bridgeport's outstanding
philanthropic organization. the
Carlson Foundation was organized
in 1946 by the late William Carlson
and his brother Philip, who now
reside in California.

Advisory Council
Activities are directed by Mr.
Belfanti, with the aid of Business
and Hospital Advisory Councils
which represents various
segments of the business, civic
and hospital community
throughout Connecticut. These
two councils add a professional
touch in the guidance and planning
of these programs.
Arriving at Fairfield in 1967.
Mr. Belfanti was confronted with
an operation which consisted of
ten programs: he expanded the
field to over 20. thereby increasing
the enrollment as well as the
instructors. Last year over 1.000
individuals participated in the
programs. A number of the new
courses are in the field of hospital
management. The hope is that
there will be a good deal of
expansion in this area in the
future. Mr. Belfanti plans to
establish a core curriculum in
hospital management so that set
courses are available ranging on
all levels. Presently the Bureau is
involved in a satellite program
with Waterbury and ew Britain
Hospitals. The program was
organized by the University but
the actual operation and facilities
are performed at WaterbUry and
New Britain.
Future Plans
Mr. Balfanti would like to
encourage companies and
business groups to use Fairfield
University facilities during
vacation periods.
Mr. Belfanti summarized the
situation by stating the
"continuing education is an aspect
of the University which is not
generally recognized but is an
integral part of the community..,
F.U. Business BureauPlans
Active Program for Year
As a service arm of the
University, the Fairfield
University Bureau of Business and
Public Administration provides
the business and civic
communities with a means of
keeping abreast of the latest
business strategies and
developments by offering a series
of seminars, lectures and forums
throughout the year.
Directed by Mr. Theodore M.
Belfanti, the Bureau presently
operates out of Julie Hall. Mr.
Belfanti outlined the purposes of
the program as twofold: "through
its continuation program. it
provides the people in the
Fairfield County region, as well as
upstate ~Connecticut and out of
state. with the opportunity not
only to improve their own skills
but to aid in solving problems
within their own companies and
organizations and secondly. the
program provides public relations
for the University."
The first of the objective is
accomplished by building a
favorable image to those involved
in the course. A direct result of
the Bureau were the New England
Regional Council of N.A.H.R.O.
Housing Conference and the
Package Designers Council
Seminar held this past fall at the
University. The second aim is to
broaden the University's base in
the community.
Variety of Courses
Over 20 courses are offered and
the average run for a period of
eight weeks. Classes meet once a
week for two hours, and there are
approximately 20 to 30 people in
each section. The courses and
conferences are varied and serve
the needs of such areas as
industry. municipalities,
hospitals, extended care facilities,
housing and retailing. A sampling
of these courses includes
programs in Supervisory

EDEN AGAIN: Charles Reich's ~~Greening of America"
And What's News...
Rev. Joha P. MclDtvre, S.J.
Ah:eady Charles Reich's GreeaiDK of
America is so popular a book that it has
out-sold its second printing. a printing
which has yet to reach the bookstores.
This observation seems all the more
curious when we realize that Reich's book
has still to receive a favorable review.
His attack on the corporate state and his
hopes for Consciousness 111 promote a
liberalism at once naive and intolerant. If
"the greening of America" will
eventually produce "that happy li!:arden
slate." it requires much more manuring.
And for this Reich's book perhaps
provides an adequate start. In this review
I'd like to talk about the corporate state.
the development of consciousness, and
the energy behind a "capable
imali!:ination. "
Reich's View HackDeyed
The analysis of the corporate state
which Reich offers seems too hackneyed
for further comment. Tessellated with
jarli!:on and cliches, it can produce only the
hysteria associated with a mob. Despite·
its conviction and outrage Reich's view
seems all the more petulant when
confronted with more sobering studies
like Roszak's Making of a Couater
Culture, Galbraith's New IDdustrial
State, and Mumford's Myth of the
Machine. They tell the same story:
America has so allowed industry to
proliferate that individuals no longer
control this technocracy. The machine
has become a monster enslaving man and
turning him into a product. Consequently
"the world of enterprise" is now a
cultural wasteland dominated by the
impersonal. mechanical. and uniform
values of massive conformity. To redress
lhis situation Reich is calling for some
kind of aclion. But. as Whitehead noted
some fGrly years ago, action requires
To Keep Up

NEW•••
both initiative and perception. The
industrial state precludes initiative, and
professionalism compromises perception.
leaving us with the dilemma peculiar to
our times.
Faced with the contemporary ugly,
Reich appeals momentarily to aesthetic
values which underlie the transformation
of consciousness and public taste. For
whatever revolution Reich has in mind to
overthrow the power of the corporate
state will proceed either by art or by
violence. Since he does not distinguish
technique from art, he leaves me uneasy.
Aconscious and direct appeal to art could
transform our cities from slums into
centers of civility. But the mobilization of
imali!:inative energies for such
constructive purposes does not seem to
have occurred to him. Instead he seems
victimized by some "progress myth,"
which asserts that the past is all bad and
therefore it must be blotted out. If the
image behind "the greening of America"
is the Garden of Eden, we can have that
only at the expense of the New Jerusalem.
This suggests destruction. anarchy. and
violence - all in the name of apocalypse.
The discipline and perception of art
provide another alternative which he
simply ignores.
Aaalysis of Consciousness
Reich's appeal lies mainly in his
analysis of consciousness. He describes
three states of consciousness and puts
them on a historical continuum. He
associates Consciousness I with the
development of the country, a nineteenth­century
phenomenon which gave us the
pioneer, the frontiersman. and the rugged
individualist. Consciousness II arises
from the industrial revolution and a
laissex-faire economy. Based on power.
material weallh, and political pressure. it
manipulates individuals and
compromises personal liberty.
Consciousness Ill, developing in the
Sixties, challenges the impersonal state
by asserting priorities such as human
rights, individual freedom, and personal
responsibility. It translates "the great
American Dream" into psychological
categories. Now Reich associates this
visionary quality with the youth.
distressed by the nation's policies at
home and abroad. As the vision extends to
younger and younger people, so the
argument goes. the youth will have
transformed the national consciousness
preventing any return to the two earlier
types of consciousness. This mechanical
model enables Reich not only to
categorize people into various (if
different) stereotypes. but it also grounds
his understanding of history as essentially
irreversible. It might .....ell have been
appropriated from Henry Adams's essay.
"The Rule of Phase Applied to History"
(ca. 1909). In short. Reich sets himself up
as another kind of expert telling others
what they are all about.
Apparently it never occurs to Reich
that consciousness is by no means a
univocal term: it extends through various
degrees of perception and action. so it can
be assessed in terms like more and less.
Consequently he cannot distinguish
different degrees of consciousness: the
difference. for example, between
understanding and renexivity as opposed
to dozing and feeling. This lack of
sophistication appears in his application
of consciousness. particularly to the
young. Because he associates
Consciousness III with college students
and the young·in·general he takes their
vision of American society as normative.
If somebody, then. were to object to the
thesis by claiming that his tyree types of
consciousness co-exist in every
individual. his argument fails. Yet. is this
not the case? Every day. at one time or
another, each one of us lives according to
the demands and expectations of
Consciousness I. II. and III. And. like
other reviewers. I would also add a fourth
consciousness which focuses on the
demonic and dark side of the individual.
Because he ignores this side of the
personality he discloses not only an
inadequate understanding of the youth but
also a simplistic idea of human nature.
Despite his claims for the human, the
personal, the ideals of freedom.
creativity. and responsibility, he cannot
radicate them in any coherent
understanding of man; the one which
emerges from his book seems altogether
mechanical and deterministic. It is no
wonder that the youth distrust Reich and
repudiate his expertise.
lpores lmagillatioB
Instead of discussing consciousness
Reich should be analyzing the
imagination. For his three models of
consciousness correspond fairly exactly
to the conventions of comedy. tragedy.
and romance. I mention this explicitly
because it clarifies the relationship
between literature and society. As
exponents of the counter culture
unceasingly remind us. the leaders come
from the college generation, intelligent
students who have responded
enerli!:elically to their education. These
are students who have had the opportunity
and afnuence necessary to read and to
study the great works of fiction. What can
they expect to find in Shakespeare and
Milton, Wordsworth and Dickens.
Melville and Faulkner? In the world of
fiction anything goes: it's a world of
enormous and even outraReous
hypotheses. There the students can and do
discover a model for a more perfect
society than the one they know. By
making the possible come alive in
literature. poets enable students to
develop and train the constructive power
of the mind, the power of imagination.
Dissatisfied with the world that they see,
the world they have to live in. the world of
economic sense. they want to exchange
that world for another, a world of desire,
much like Blake's Beulah-land, where aU
contrarieties are equally true. So the
problem they face is neither ideological
nor speculative: it's much too practical
for that. They want to know how they can
best translate their imaginative energies
into political power. 'At this point "the
red-eyed elders," mistrustful of
imagination's accuracy and precision.
project their own fear of imaginative
enerli!:ies and exercise every agency of
repression against them.
The LaDguage Gap
Cicero notes in the first book of the De
officiis that injustice is secured either by
force or by fraud. In the past year we
have all seen what force can do: as anger
generates anger. so violence creates
greater violence. Nobody doubts that.
Fraud, however. operates in a much
larger ambience. one that might strike us
as more civilized, but no less pernicious.
Relying on fear and threats. it creates an
atmosphere of suspicion, mistrust, and
chicanery. So we talk about various gaps:
information and communication gaps.
credibility and generation gaps. The only
gap to which I now advert is primarily a
linguistic one •• a language gap. for this
distinguishes a free society from a mob.
The mob will always abuse language
simply because it has never been trained
to use language correctly. Thriving on
half-truths and slogans. it circulates stock
responses and cultural cliches. as a
substitute for thinking. Mechanical
language of "speak--ese" preclUdes
thouli!:ht and rational analysis. Think. for
example, of official jargon: "kill-ratio,"
"escalation," "body count"; "urban
renewal." "war on poverty," "market
research." These abstractions offend us.
not because of their assonance, but
because of their deceit. In order to
palliate the country. the politicians are
covering over their misdeeds with a
honied or sugary language. Sensitive and
literate people detest the kind of
propaganda which abuses lan~age.
Students. however. have their slogans
too: perhaps more easily than most they
can Ret caught up in their own jargon.
cliches and stock responses. Shibboleths
like Make Love 'ot War, Don't Trust
Anyone over Thirty, The Psychedelic
Revolution. represent another kind of
speak-ese, no less irrational and offensive
than political jarli!:on. Admittedly, the lure
of instant conversion, instant salvation.
instant success belongs to the American
people. But like the pot of gold at the
rainbow'S end this too is a metaphor. and
in the last analysis metaphors do not
provide a substitute for thoughtful
analysis and renection. If the college
experience has anything to offer students
today, it can liberate them from laking
metaphors too seriously and compel them
to articulate ideas in careful speech. Only
by recognizing gobbledegook and gabble
for what they are will the present college
generation be able to translate their
visions into reality. This power of mind.
of course. presupposes traininli!: and
discipline, but training and discipline
ground the only kind of freedom that man
knows. And isn't that what it's all about?

Photography Exhibit
Harry Garfield's 'Corners of the Wodd' On Display
"Corners of the World". an
international exhibition of 28 color
photographs by Harry Garfield
opened on January 18 at the
Campus Center Oak Room.
Mr. Garfield. noted
photographer and member of the
guiding faculty of the Famous
Photographers School. was
present at an informal "Meet the
Artist" reception.
Harry Garfield
Mr. Garfield's exhibit will
continue at the Oak Room Gallery
through Jan. 29 with visiting hours
daily from I to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9
p.m. except Saturday.
Early Years
Mr. Garfield first became
interested in photography as a
hobb.v ... I was a dress salesman
during the Depression and a very
unhappy one who had nightmares
One day. when my wife was sick in
bed. I decided to take pictures of
her with an old folding camera
and develop them myself. I
bought two trays and developer
for 30 cents and got such a thrill
out of producing the ncg:atives that
I took up photography as a
hobby'" he recalls.
His pastime would have been
cut short had it not been for the
persistence of a clerk who was
trying to win a prize for the most
sales in his store.
"I shopped around for an
inexpensive camera but the only
one J could find was $105. My wife
thought I was crazy to spend so
much -- $105 was a lot of money in
those days -- so J canceled the
order. The salesman offered me a
$10 reduction so he wouldn't lose
the contest. and we didn't have the
heart to let him down."
"If I hadn't bought thaI
camera, " Harry adds. "I might
still be selling dresses."
First Professional Job
His first professional job was
photographing a friend's baby ­free.
About this time he met J.
Ghislain Lootens. a well-known
teacher of photography, who saw
promise in the young man's work.
and encouraged him to strive for a
career in photography.
In 1941. Harry and Helen
Garfield rented a bungalow in
Monticello. New York. an area
full of summer hotels for families.
Garfield made the rounds of the
hotels. photographing children in
outdoor settings.
He developed the films at night.
made the prints the next day. and
delivered them the follOWing
morning. Parents liked his work
and business boomed. His prints.
showing children in natural moods
and activities. never stiffly posed.
made an instant hit.
With the money earned that
summer. the Garfields set up
their first studio. and were at last
in business. Harry studied lighting
while Helen took a course in
retouching: he constantly
perfected his darkroom technique.
and soon became noticed by other
professionals for the qualily and
brilliance of his prints.
As Garfield's reputation grew.
so did his clientele. He has
enlarged his original studio four
times since the modest beginnings
in 1941: most recently he built a
large residence·studio in Roslyn
Estates. Long Island.
Professional Recognition
Harry's stature as a
professional has been recognized
by his. peers in many ways from
1947 to 1950, he served four
t::onsecutive terms as president of
the Professional Photographers
Association of New York. He also
holds the degree of Master of
Photography awarded by the
Professional Photographers of
America. His child photographs
have been exhibited at the
Smithsonian Institution, and are
represented in the permanent
eollections of a number of art
T.luseums. He is a popular lecturer
and TV guest on educational and
commercial networks.
Although Garfield is a specialist
in child portraiture. he also
pho~ographs adults. and while

Famous Schools Staff
Harry Garfield's career was
clilT!axed when he was selected to
be a member of the GUiding
Faculty of the Famous
Photographers School of
WestpHt, Connecticut. "I was
very happy to join with such great
rhotographers in this important
eJucational project." he says. "It
gives me the opportunity to share
with students what I have learned
.hrough experience. reading. and
lecturing over the year. and to
help them over their initial
hurdles toward a creative and
satisfying career."

The veteran S1. Peter's coach

with five new players checking

went on a 15-4 scoring tear to
pull away to the 41-20 margin at
intermission. Groom and
Frazer each contributed six
markers during the stretch.
Possibly the greatest tribute
to the Stag's defense was that
the Peacocks managed to get
off only 19 shots. making five
for a 'll per cent average.
Fairfield hit 16 of 36 for a 44 per

In the second Half, St. Peter's

limited to five points, errupted
for 25 more for the game high
total of 30.
Despite a variety of
harrassing tactics by
Kennedy's team the Peacocks

was generally around the 15

outstanding team effort by
Fairfield University as the
Stags shut off high scoring St.
Peter's College. 79--66. in the
Fairfield gymnasium Saturday
evening.
The Peacocks. who entered
the contest with a 96.9 point per
game scoring average. second
best among the nation's major
colleges. were completely
throttled in the opening half by
Fairfield which held a 41-20
margin.
Coach Fred Barakat's quintet
coupled tremendous pressure
from Groom and playmaker
Bob Kelly with the bruising
board play of Mark Frazer,
Steve Romano and Mel Brown
to stall the usually awesome St.
Peter's fast break.
Following his team's fourth
victory in two outings, an elated
Barkat was quick to praise the
defensive work of his guards
who stopped the Peacock's
breaks while holding Bob
Matiniuk and Al Cierski, who
carried 21 and 14 point per
game averages. to meager
three and fOUf point efforts.
The first year mentor went on
to compliment the entire team
for its composure, noting the
fact that each player did their
job well made the fine victory
possible.

During the Fall Semester, an
eight week course in self defense
was taught within the structure of
the Judo-Karate Club. The chief
instructor was Kevin Dmytriw '71
and the classes were taught from
a practical defense point of view.
In the Judo sector of the Club,
Taesoo Moon became the Chief
instructor of Judo here at
Fairfield U. Mr. Moon, a 4th
Degreed Black Belt, is one of the
highest ranked Judo men in New
England. Mr. Moon came to
Fairfield at the request of Tom
Lenzo '71, Brown Belt Instructor
bere at Fairfield and a student at
Mr. Moon's Waterbury Judo Club.
During the semester, the Judo
Club sent a four·man team to the
Plainville Invitational
Tournament. There, the team won
four matches and lost seven. The
Judo Club ended the semester
with a promotion at which twelve
of the Club's White Belts were
raised to the rank of Yellow Belt.
Plans for the Spring semester
include an increase in the number
of major practices per week in
each sport, participation in
several two-college tournaments
and trips to several major open
contests.
