Hickson Issues
Revised Listilg
Of Unpaid Fees
By Mike Farrell
The latest round in the
accounting battle over student
activity fees shows that the
Student Government will receive
an additional $5.700 from' the
University instead the deficit of
nearly S2 300 as reported earlier
by John Hickson vice-president
for business and finance.
Mr. Hickson stated that the
latest figure was reached after
the business office updated the
listing of students delinquent in
paying their activities fee. The
original statement was based on
a count taken as of Nov. 30 while
the more recent count included
payments made to the
University lhrou~ Jan. 31.
Former Studenl Government
Treasurer Joseph Collins said
that the new list contained the
names of 247 students who
haven't paid. As a result the
Student Government is entitled
to $45.700 collected from the
students.
Forty thousand dollars has
already been paid to the
government on September 15 in
accordance with the agreement
signed by former Student
Government President Dennis
Gallagher and Dean of Students
William Schimpf.
Revised Total
The Current list revised the
November 30 total of unpaid
activities fees which was set at
647. Mr. Hickson explained that
most of the newly paid fees
accompanied the spring
semester tuition payments.
The first total of 6407 was
determined over the semester
recess but an actual list
specifying those studeDts who
hadn't paid wasn't compiled at
that time.

Mr. Friedman argued that the

federal law that has channeled
funds to churdt-related colleges
is not to aid the propagation of
religion although this may be the
effect. so the program is
constitutional.

a choice dormitory room nest year. Here many of them pay the $25 room deposit fee before cboosing a
spot
The general faculty voiced their clear dissaproval of
the already stumbling ad hoc committee on
undergraduate scholarships this week by voting down a
proposal to merge the faculty committee on admissions
and scholarships with the ad hoc group and then passing
a motion, 51·36, to recommend to the university
president that he abolish the ad hoc committee
altogether. The action took place at a general meeting
held Tuesday.
Faculty Votes No
To Ad Hoc Group
By Tiomtby Grace
Created by the president this
past fall primarily for the
purpose of reviewing
scholarships awarded to
students. the commitlee has
been continually sti£led from
working eHectively as a
tripartite group. One reason was
that the facully failed to send
representatives. and secondly,
after representatives had been
named they were recalled by the
general secretary when a
pelition was filed objecting to
the way the faculty members
were placed on the ad hoc
committee.
Faculty Disapproves
Many of the faculty members,
including Dr. Morris Grossman,
who was the only faculty
appointee to continue meeting
with the ad hoc group, objected
to the way in which the ad hoc
committee was formed by the
president without sufficient
faculty consultation.
During the discussion and
voting. which took up a majority
of the faculty's Tuesday
aHernoon meeting, Dr.
Grossman reported that
although he too had "objected
repeatedly" to the method of
formation, he thought that it
would, nevertheless. still be very
useful to have one committee on
admissions and scholarships.
Thus proposed that the two
groups be merged.
Another faculty appointee to
the ad hoc committee, Dr. Marie
Panico, explained to the meeting
that she did not continue to
attend meetings after the
pelition was filed because so
many faculty had signed it. She
also felt that the original
formation of the committee had,
indeed, overlooked a number of
faculty prerogatives.
Criticism Voiced
Dr. Panico took further issue
with a story printed in the
February 19 issue of the
University Voice concerning the
universitv scholarship program.

Every undergraduate student

According to Mitchell. the next
meeting for all volunteers will
not be called until he and
Callahan have found out through
Glenmary missioner. Brother Al
Behm. exactly how many
students will be able to go and
whether or not they will need to
hold another lottery.
Fourth Year In Kentucky
This will be the fourth year
that Fairfield students have
travelled to Ken.tucky to work
with Glenmary priests who have
established a number of projects
in the state's poverty stricken
rural areas.
Students will be involved in
both manual and social .....ork

anticipate some problems in

for the co-eds who have
expressed a desire to Il:0 on the
trip. He expects that only a
limited number of females will
be able to make the trip because
of this factor.
Funds for the trip will be made
available by the Connecticut
Knights of Columbus and the
Student Government. Each year
the Knights agree to pay the cost
of sending one bus back and forth
to Kentucky. This cost is
anticipated to be in the area of
$1.100. The Student Government
has reportedly offered another
$2.000 .....hich will help pay for the
various other car trips.
Bridgeport Project
For those who do not care to
leave the slate during the
vacation. there are openings
available for up to 150 volunteers
to .....ork in a Bridgeport project
beinR orlZanized by aoother
university student. John
Roberto.
Roberto reports that at
present only 10 people have
signed up for his project and he
will need at least 15 to even
attempt the job. Both males and
females are needed to do manual
labor such as painting
apartments and also to run day
care centers as well as a number
of other jobs.
These students

A surprisingly small group of
about 100 student - volunteers
turned out last week to sign up
for this year's Easter-week trips
to work Appalachia and other
underdeveloped poverty regions
throughout the South.
Approximately 200 students
put their names in last year's
lottery which decided wbat 80
people would be able to travel to
either Vanceberg, Kentucky or
Murphy. North Carolina to work
during the Easter break.
Uope for 100 Spots
According to co-coordinators
of the trips. Jim Callahan '72 and
Jim Mitchell '71. they would like
to expand this year's plans to
accommodate at least the 100
students who si~ned up but at
present only 65 places are
confirmed. 40 volunteers will be
goina to Vanceburg. by bus.
while the others will travel by
car to a number of still
undisclosed towns in the South.
Questioned as to the possible
reasons for the small tum out.

couldn't be sure but guessed that
some students might have been

half the students from

well as those who desire hij;lher

The effect of a new general
education prOll:ram on the.
academic community would be
"an important one" according to
Albert Benney. also a member of
the faculty committee.
In his opinion if the
recommendations of the
committee are accepted by the
Academic Council. then during
the next two years there will be
far-reaching possibilities such as
evening courses and completion
of niRht-school degrees.
By presenting the proposals of
the program to the council. the
committee also hopes to give the
whole academic community an
opportunity to respond with a
wide range of public opinion.
Mr. Benney sees little
objection from the faculty in
regard to these proposals, The
adult education program would
not be in competition with other
colleges but rather would
represent "a creative program
which must be self-supporting
financially in order to be
maintained",
The idea of developing and
expanding an adult education
department is oot new. Several
years ago a part-time program
was initiated by William Parker.
a former assistant professor of
accounting, Financial pressures
accumulated due to a rising
recession and hindered the
growth of the operation.
Despite thIs setback Mr.
Parker continued his attempts to
build up the program with
courses in the humanities and in
art. Community response was
limited principally because local
Boards of Education offered free
courses in both recreational and
practical courses. The main
advantage of Mr. Parker's
program was that it was offered
by a college.
Members of the Educational
Planning Committee are
attempting to weigh the
advantages and disadvatages of
an educational program broader
than the one devised by
Mr.Parker. Above all. they wish
to establish a department which
will be of value to the students
enrolled. With the committee's
work just beginning. the end
results are obscure.
Dr. Barone stated that "many
of the plans are vague and the
result of this experimental stage
of planning chanj;les are "beyond
the scope of the present view of
the members".

General Education are among
those being reviewed by the
faculty'S Educational Planning
Committee that is headed by
Harry Fishman.
Dr. John A, Barone. provost
and an ex~fficio member of the

group is attempting to develop a
suitable educational program
that is directed toward the
interests of both the community
and the University.
He went on to note that while

chanll:es are foreseen that will
improve this level of hiRher
learning.
One of the factors which must
be considered by the committee
is the ecooomic feasibility of
such a proRram. The provost has
called a four-year program
"economically viable" since it
will produce income with no
increase in overhead and very
little financial pressure.
"This will permit
educational needs to

Besides relief from financial

major will be compelled to
complete basic courses
consisting of one semester of
General Psychology. basic
statistics. research design, and
physiological psychololl:Y. as well
as a two semester course in
histories and theories of
psychology.
The one- semester General
Psychology course will consist of
a two hour period known as the
"turning on phase" in which the
professor will attempt to
motivate the students through
discussions on relevant topics.
The remain!ng hour will be
devoted to rotating discussion
groups of smaller size led by a
different professor each week.
The goal of this type of
program. according to Dr.
Boitaoo. is "to allow students to
express themselves in order to
share their ideas with their
classmates." After they
complete the basic
requirements. students will then
have more freedom to choose
psychology courses in the
respective programs.
Dr. Ronald Salafia a
psychology professor stated
that "students Ret a lot out of
psychology through direct
experience." He proposed
setting up three laboratories in
each program.
According to Dr. Boitano. this
will not only allow students to
learn how to conduct research,
but also it will enable them to
design a study of their own which
will be finished in the senior
hooors seminar.
When asked the same question,
Fr. Coughlin replied

The Campus Center director'
noted that he requested Mrs.

various candy and cigarette
products. Only candy is available
in the book store at this time.
However. the major problem
with this alternative has been
that the bookstore hours from
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. do not
adequately replace the 24 hour
availability of the machines.
Early this year, Mr. Hickson
stated that the company would
probably absorb close to $3000 in
Uleft and damages throuRh the
1970-71 terms. While Mr. McKay
stated in September that he saw
the increase in vandalism

According to Mr. John McKay.

"Most of them were just not

Mr. McKay further said that it
was a mutual agreement
between he and Mr. John

the company must absorb the
cost of damage and theft from its

If the Playhouse Company ,gets
poor marks this time. blame it
on the material. We have yet to
discover a philosopher's stone
that might transform the secondrate
into first-rate drama.
Detective Story combines
sentimentality with incredible
coarseness. a combination Ulat
distinguishes Harold Robbins in
our own day.
It would be nice to think that a
colle,ge campus could withstand
these hucksters. peddling their
Kitsch and Schmaltz. If it isn't
too impertinent. I might suggest
major dramatists like
Aristophanes and Racine. Ibsen
and Chekhov. Pirandello and
Brecht.
Given the time and energy
expended on Detective Story. a
first-rate play might be a more
profitable investment. Since
Lent is essentially a time of
conversion. perhaps we can hope
for just this kind of
transformation. entirely
compatible with one function of
the University which remains to
preserve and to promote "the
best Ulat has been known and
thou~t."
compresses the range of human
experience into a single
dimension it embodies the
grotesque.
Now the grotesque in art can
be seen as either a positive or a
negative principle. Positively.
the grotesque can make us
remember aspects of life Ulat we
would like either to forget or to
suppress. So in an over-serious
society the clown in modern
fiction. dance. and art can
remind us of play and humor as
perfectly human attributes.
Similarly a secular culture needs
to be reminded of Christ and the
religious values of suffering.
Negatively. the grotesque can fix
us in our prejUdices by
legitimating our indifference to
one another and confirming a
cultural apathy.
This. I take it is one of the
principal points behind Joseph
Wood Krutch's famous essay.
"The Tragic Fallacv": we
simply can no longer believe in
man's importance and dignity.
Because Kingsley's play would
have us accept the grotesque as
the exclusive and ultimate
dimension of .'the really reaL" it
dej;lrades us.
Apart from Ulese serious
reservations with the play. the
production itself struck me as
none too felicitous. First of all.
while providing an opportunity
for directorial pyrotechnics. it
achieved the tour de force by
sacrificing coherence and focus.
Continuous action on three of

In keepinj;l with the holy season
of Lent the Company at the
Playhouse has produced Sidney
Kingsley's Detective Story. It's a
preachy sort of thing.- theatrical
rather than dramatic •• and by
play's end we are quite ready to
shed the sackcloth and ashes.
Onslage we find a
newspaperman (Richard
Tourville) who plays one of the
minor prophets. He urges our
hero (Thomas McKinney) to be
humble. be humble.
As if Ulat weren't enough. he
reminds us all Ulat everyone of
·us is fallinj;l down every day. Into
the ~rave. On the other side of
law and order we have a
shoplifter <Elaine Halas) who
confides that she wants to get
married: "Just find me a man-anything
in pants." Kingsley
never quite gets himself into
position where he can put both
sides together; that is. to be a
man means to be humble. And
this dislocation does not satisfy
our Lenten souls.
Lenten Spirit
When Detective McLeod is
shot in the third act {deus ex
machina 1 he goes through his act
of contrition just as
ritualistically as he prosecutes
criminals. The playwright has
either confused or identified the
law of man (crime) with the law
of God lsinl. While this
assumption enables the hero to
play God and to judge both the
livinR and the dead. it does not
justify the play's ambivalence
towards the moral order. which
is oot quite the same as the legal
order.
The play's principal conflicl
oriRinates in this confusion. and
"God" is occasionally heard. as
a thretHetter word. suggesting
the source of man's inalienable
rights. Because Kinj;lsley does
not take this dimension of his
material seriously enough he
cannot effectively resolve his
own plot. For if we are oot
serious about God. then there is
indeed 00 sin. And if there is no
sin. neither is there any
salvation. Accordingly we are
lefl with the rather bleak notions
of crime and punishment.
Detective Story represents the
American tradition of
naturalism. This literary
philosoohv asserts that the
combined forces of heredity and
environment account for
individual behavior and
character. We learn that
McLeod's father killed his wife
and that McLeod grew up hating
his father. As a Detective. he too
murders by destroying the
human. associated with
sympathy. hope. and possibility.
Not even friendship can deflect
him from his "principles." for
he knows not compromise. This
appears most cogently in his
handling of his wife (Brenda
Blissett) who is compelled to
acknowled,ge a pervious abortion,
Here again the black and white
definition of the law precludes
any human understanding. The
hero consequently elicits little
sympathy. which discloses the
principal liability inherent in a
naturalistic technique.
The "slice of life" militates
against audience involvement
precisely because it does not
reflect their life. So the death
scene. however irrational its
cause. remains curiously
unmoving: we are not the better
for it.

sure where all the money is and how much
is being spent as he is and will continue to
be constantly going over the budgets of
each committee chairman. And let me be
the first to assure you that not one of the
committee chairmen deposits
government funds into a personal
checking account as you mistakenly
assert.
While on the subject of fiscal
responsibility the charge can be easily
justified that the administration has been
remiss in many of its budgetary matters.
A $700,000 deficit and a tuition raise of
$SOO in a period of three years is no small
matter in a university of our size. Perhaps
the editorial board which has been so
meticulous in its criticism of the student
sector will eventually direct its efforts
towards the administration and their
problems.
FaCls Disputed
To The Editor:
After our telephone conversation about
the several errors in fact and the
unnecessary insinuations given to you as a
publicity release by Mr. Barrett of the
security office, I thought it might be a
good idea to write you a letter about them
so that either a retraction could be
printed, or the letter itself could be
published. I think it should be made
perfectly clear that it was not the Voice
which was at fault, but rather Mr. Barrett
who gave you information containing
serious error, some of it libelous.
Three Fairfield Prep students did not
admit to taking part in a "series of bomb
threats", but rather two students
admitted to Detective Costello of the
Fairfield police on the following Friday
that they had taken part in the one
instance the previous Monday. A third
student was indirectly involved, but did
not as a matter of fact call in any bomb
threat.
No students were ..turned over to
officials of the local juvenile court" in the
sense that any court action was taken
against them.
Finally, since I am writing this letter. I
would like to point out that the behaviour
of Mr. James Barrett was disgraceful and
impolite to students not in any way
involved in this incident. By contrast
Dectective Costello was more than polite
and gentlemanly. It seems to me that in a
time when respect for authority is at an
all time low, those who have authority
should not help undermine it further by
improper and vulgar use of it.
Thanking you for your kind patience
with me on the telephone. I remain,
(Rev.) Daniel C. Lewis, S.J.

To The Editor:
Allow me to correct some of the more
glaring mistakes in your editorials "Open
Campus" and "Time For Help" that
appeared in the February 25, issue of the
Voice.
The editorial you wrote concerning the
commuters was a position that needed
expression. But it also needs to be said
that the recommendations you directed
towards the Student Government are
already fact. The Student Legislature has
13 positions out of a9 that are filled by
commuters. Furthermore 2 of the
commuters are committee chairmen and
1 other is a co-chairman. In other words
hall of the committees of the Legislature
are chaired by these "shadowy figures."
The Legislature is only too willing to help
expedite the commuter's plight. I would
make the suggestion that all commulers
should begin seeking out their
representatives and making sure their
demands are heard.
Secondly, the editors wisely
recommended that an office of commuter
affairs be created to help establish
another means of communication
between these ..outsiders" and the
Student Government. Again this step has
already been taken and the government is
confident that the chairman will receive
the help from fellow commuters that he
will need in clearing up their prOblems.
In your editorial titled "Time For
Help" you made the assumption that the
Student Government has been somewhat
careless in the handling of its finances.
Contrary to your opinion the
Government's books are audited each
year. Further more the treasurer is quite

To the Editor:
The occurrances at the recent Miles

excellent leadership and organization
ability of Howard Rolle and Glenn
Kenney.
The two co-chairmen handled all the
arrangements for the concert better than
any concert that I have been associated
with at Fairfield. Every detail was
handled with great care.
Only problems beyond their control
prevented this concert from being a
tremendous success.
They should be commended on a fine
effort. I extend to them my
congratulations.
'Rent-a-Cop' Image
Recently the annual room sign-up for students intending to live in
the dormitories next year was completed. Over the years this event
has degenerated into an endurance contest in the best tradition of
"survival of the fittest" competition. All night vigils, intolerably
long Hnes, and a series of petty annoyances that wear on the tempers
of both students and staff have become commonplace to this event.
While this year's version was a definite improvement over the past,
there can be little doubt that there is still room for further
advancements.
Since this matter is so closely related to students, we recommend
that the Dormitory Council and other Student Government
committees exercise their responsibilities to initiate immediately an
investigation into the entire procedure. They should also conduct
public hearings to consider possible reforms or an entirely new
system for future room sign-ups.
One area that certainly should be reviewed is the seniority system
that currently serves the basis for room sign-ups. While this
program has proven adequate for juniors, the system encourages the
use of endurance tactics by underclassmen to insure accomodations
in the more "plush" dormitories.
Among the possible alternatives would be a system that gives
priority to those students wishing to remain in the same room for
another year. In addition to eliminating a number of students from
the general room draw, it would also serve to bolster the dormitory
governance system that is presently constructed on an individual
building basis. These efforts could be supplemented by a lottery-type
system that would make chance rather than endurance the prime
factor in room changes.
These and other proposals should be given careful scrutiny so that
some alternative can be introduced and implemented by the Housing
Office before another round of sign-ups must be endured.
For most of its life, the University's Security Department has been
marked by a reputation that is uniformly bad. Dating back to 1965 the
system began with "rent-a-cops," and then turned to benign gentlemen
who mostly were concerned with parking maintenance and were known
occasionally to put tickets on deserving vehicles. This was adequate for
the small liberal arts college that existed then, but Fairfield quickly
expanded its multi-million dollar campus.
Not surprisingly, the security problems also increased. Vandalism,
thell, drugs and other difficulties were seemingly overlooked by the
"cops" because they had no means of handling these larger
responsibilities. This department was obviously lell in the back wash of
previous years. With all these stresses, it was inevitable that security
found itself with a less than favorable image on campus.
However, we feel that since the new Director of Security, James
Barrett, has been in office much of the chaos and many previous faults
have, at last, been recognized and are being coped with. He has begun
to update many things. Manpower has been increased, including ten
full-time and seven part-time men. Four students are also part of the
department, making Fairfield one of the few schools in New England
that has students actively involved in the security department. Mr.
Barrett hopes that the services lof these students as an integral part of
the department will provide good communications, especially in
understanding other versions of existing problems. Half of the security
staff have taken part in formal training programs that have included
such topics as criminal investigation, pUblic relations and Red Cross
training. Extra guards are added as needed during the weekends and
for special activities.
The security department has also become the central point for
anyone who has complaints or needs help during the evenings because
it is the only 24-hour organization on campus. In order to reduce the
time for response to complaints, communications have been expanded.
Previously the school switchboard was the contact point between the
base station and patrolling vehicles; needless to say, this proved to be
very insufficient system. It has been replaced with two-way radios and
a full-time dispatcher service.
It was found that many of the thefts and acts of vandalism in dorms
and parking lots were caused by outside people. A check-point system
has been established to control individuals entering the campus. As
many as 20 percent of the incoming vehicles have been turned away
because the occupants could not give a valid reason or purpose for
coming on the campus. Check point is just one of the many preventive
systems being used by security. Others include LD. cards for facully
and administration and the securing of all gates except for North
Benson by 11 o'clock.
However, thefts continue. Mr. Barrell said that students are too
trusting and he urged them to help security by becoming more cautious
in locking doors in dorms and cars. This definite need for personal
security is a long-range problem that cannot be solved immediately. Of
course the pelly problems of parking and traffic control still exist but it
is hoped that the traffic court will play a larger role in solving these
problems by direcUy involVing the parties concerned.
The security department wants a new image and considering what
they have already accomplished, as well as their future plans, they
may soon shed the old "rent-a-eop" image and be looked upon as a
progressive professionally-run force.

The Board of Trustees recognizes the need for a strong and
responsive governmental structure for the University. It accepts
its own responsibility as the final independent authority for
implementing the objectives of the University, for promoting and
protecting the internal autonomy of the community and for
enabling the University to meet the external challenges of the
society in which it lives.
, It further recognizes the need for new and better means of
communication within the University in order to foster a wider
involvement in the process of decision making at the board level
as well as at all other levels within the university community.
It envisions here the participation of all individuals and groups
of Fairfield University, especially faculty, students and
administrators, but also alumni, parents and the civic
community.
In accordance with these principles the Board of Trustees will
continue to reorganize and restructure its membership to insure
both its independence and authority. To achieve this, the
University members of the Board, with the exception of the
President, will gradually be replaced, and future members of the
Board will be chosen from the outside community. These
individuals will be chosen on the basis of their competence and
Willingness to promote the stated objectives of the University.
The primary operational link between the Board and the
internal community will continue to be the President. He is the
chief administrative officer of the University and chief executive
officer of the Board. Under the Board's revised by·laws, however,
the President will not be ex officio chairman of the Board.
To open new means of communication between the Board
and the members of the academic community the Board endorses
strongly adding faculty, students, and administrators to
committees of the Board and is currently drawing up plans to
accomplish this.
The Board was pleased 16 receive both documentation and an
oral report on the progress of the Constitutional Convention. It
applauds the sincerity and dedication of those participating in that
effort. While it reserved to itself the final decision in any
restructuring of the governance of the University, it encourages
all to become aware of the work of the Convention and to
contribute to its effort.
Apy formal governing structure by which faculty, students and
administrators share in decision making must respeet the
authority delegated to the President and facilitate his execution of
. the policies of the Board.
As the policy making group and the final governing authority
within the University, the Board desired to avoid entanglement in
the daily routine of the University, but it does seek to be informed.
It does not see itself as taking over any of the prerogatives of any
segment within the community, but it intends to promote an
environment wbich will enable these groups to carry out the
purposes of the University and to maximize the contribution of all
to its decision making.

Student Robert Buccino, who
as an intern last summer was

he felt it was "unfortunate that
the faculty was unable to put the
good of the university ahead of

Dr. Grossman explained that
although he made the original
motion, he voted for Dr. Dew's
proposal to seek
"disestablishment" of the ad hoc

impossible for the dean to work
effectively with two
committees. He also noted that
the motion would now allow for

A wide disparity exists in the

objectives currently e"istin~ in

These findings resulted from

determine the type of program
currently in operation.

members of the community as to
their attitude toward ten
possible goals of a residence hall
program. asking them to

ad hoc committee came onto

USUpatioD DeDieci
Richard Regan, of the English
department, cautioned the
faculty not to get bogged down in
the procedure used to form the
committee. He suggested that he
did not think that the president
wanted to usurp any faculty
powers but merely to cover
matters of scholarship review
which the present faculty group
were not handling.
This point was met with
substantial disagreement from
both Dr. Robert Fedorchek and
Dr. Vincent Rosivach. Dr.
Rosivach emphasized that, in
effect, the president was
"unilaterally amending the
faculty handbook" by creating
this ad hoc committee, a right
which he clearly does not have.
In answer to one of Dr.
Fedorchek's questions about the
origin of the ad hoc committee,
,the Rev. James Coughlin, S.J.,
academic vice president, gave
up the chair to give some
history; furthermore, he
suggested that, in his opinion,
the faculty should disassociate
the proposal with current
arguments over tripartite and
weigh it on its own merits in the
university's best interests.
Student CompeteDce
Questioaed
Dr. Edward Dew and Dr.
Arthur Riel both opposed the
motion on the grounds that
students lacked the necessary
competence. Dr. Dew said that
he did not feel students capable
of handling "substantive" issues
while Dr. Riel noted that, in his
opinion, it was "irrational" to
put students on a committee
concerned with academics (with
equal powers.)
Both Fr. SCully and Dr.
Rosivach tried, unsuccessfully,
to place amendments on the
proposal to qualify it before it
was defeated by a wide margin.
Following the vote, Dr. Dew
made another motion that the
faCUlty formally seek the
"disestablishment" of the ad hoc
committee. When questioned by
Fr. Coughlin, he agreed that
implicit in his proposal was a
feeling that no one but faculty
should be dealing with matters
of scholarships and admissions.
He agreed, however, that those
administrators employea in the
admissions department should
continue to do so.

The inspiration play of the
senior captain has not only been
outstanding in the state
department but he has also
provided leadership for a team
that has Ci!:rtainly had their

inexperienced squad tbe Stags
were dealt two hard blows
during the course of the season _
lasing two starters in Mel Brown
and &b Kelly.
Team Leader
Barakat assets that Frazer's
leadership has been invaluable to
the team. "We've had some
pretty rough going but Mark has
always kept everyone hopping
and In good spirits when things
were really down." The firstyear
coach emphasizes that not
only IS !"razer one of the best
players he's coached but also
"one of the most well-rounded
iDdividuals I've known."
So tomorrow night's battle vs
Fordham is the end of Mark
F!a~.r's career and it is perhaps
Significant that he bows out vs.
Fordham, whose home base is in
Frazer's native Bronx.Charlie
Velverton. the Rams' leading
scorer and main reason for
Fordham's sudden success is a
good friend of Frazer's a~ the
two competed against each other
in high school and also played
together on the New York City
High School all·stars in the
Allentown. Pa. tournament.
When asked about the
likelihood that U!is jilame meant
Sl?mething really special. being
hIS last and being against
Fo~dham. the captain simply
smiled and commented, "It's
always special when you get a
chance.to. beat any 'City' team."
Yes, thiS IS especially true when
the "City" team the Stags are
taking on is among the best ten
teams in tbe country.

Groom, with a 33 point output
vs. Stonehill, is averaging an

Tomorrow night's contest will
be Frazer's bow out

Series Tied
Tomorrow's outcome will
break a deadlock in the series
between the two Jesuit schools
with each owning three victories
to date. The last game played
was an 82-70 Fordham win in the,
1968-69 season.
The Fordham freshman team
owning a 9-5 record and tbe Ne~
Y?Tk City frash championship,
Will tangle with the highly touted
Stag yearlings in tomorrow
evening's preliminary contest at

~.eir Assumption engagement,
Will be led by high scoring Phil
Rogers who is hitting for a 36.0
average. Fodham's big gun is 6'a
Jim Hill who is averaging 20
points and IS rebounds per game.
In tomorrow night's
demanding test against powerful
Fordham, Stag captain Mark
Frazer finishes out his playing
career at Fairfield. Frazer's
outstanding play this year has
been one of the lone bright spots
for Stag fans as tbe hard luck
Fairfield quintet has had quite a
rough season.
The 6'6 center came here as a
heralded product of St.
Augustine's High School in
Brooklyn. He promptly served

hiS high school credentials were

scoring record of aiD points
which was recently broken by
Phil Rogers.
T'IIrH Year Performer
In his sophomore year Frazer
play~ in all 26 games, averaging
7.a POints a contest and grabbing
162 rebounds.
Last season, while playing in
the shadows of stars Frank
Magaletta and Wayne Gibbons.
Mark managed to hit for an 8.2
average and provided some
much ~eeded. board strengtb by
averaging mne rebounds per
contest.
This season has not been a
successful one, record-wise for
tbe Stags, but for Frazer it has
been his finest and a fitting
culmination of tbree years as a
solid varsity performer.
Mark ackllOwledges tbat this
has been his biggest year but
also emphatically indicates that
tbe basketball program is going

aggressive direction. "This has
been my best season statistic.

most rewarding year of playing

stated and continued, "Coach
Barakat bas really instilled a
new attitude of togetberness
around here and although it
maybe didn't show record-wise
this season J feel strongly that
Fairfield is going to receive its
first post-season tournament bid
under Coach Barakat."
Barakat Grea. b:fhIeaee
Frazer attributes much of tbe
credit for his new aggressive and
hustling style of play this year to
Barakat. "He knows just what I
can do and I know I have to put
out. His tremendous confidence
in me has been a big factor in my

The mighty NCAA bound
Fordham Rams suprise
powerhouse of the East. invade
the New Haven Arena tomorrow
night in attempt to add Fairfield
to their long-list of victims. The
game will dose our the Stags
first season under Coach Fred
Barakat while Fordham has
made a complete transformation
from last year's !()..15 record to
their sparkling 21-2 slate this
year under rookie coach Dick
Phelps.
Fairfield 9-13 prior to
Wednesday·s game vs.
Assumption finishes up a season
in which bad breaks have been a
common occurrence but an
unlikely upset win vs. lIleir Rose
Hill Rivals could make lIle
season a successful one. It was
only a year ago !hat the Stags
knocked off an N.!.T. bound
Manhattan team.
Rams Wia Lisl Impressive
Fordham has rolled over a
number of tough opponents on
what is supposedly their most
demanding schedule in years. In
the early season they whipped
Columbia and Syracuse (or big
wins while more recent victims
have been Princeton, Holy
Cross, UMass, Boston College,
St. John's and of course their
greatest victory over Notre
Dame.
Only two losses mar the Rams'
record, a 67-66 decision to
Temple and their 85-80 overtime
setback at the hands of
undefeated Marquette last week.
Yelvmo. Keys Altack
Leading Fordham's run and
shoot offense is potential AllAmerican
Charlie Yelverton who
is scoring at a 23 points per game
clip. Also in the double digit
range have been soph Ken
Charles 05.6) and senior Bill
Mainor (13.2).
Yelverton, a 6'2 leaper, and
Charles, 6'3, start up fronl along
with either George zambetli or
Bart Woytowicz to form a short
front line which has more than
beld their own against such
bigger teams as Marquette and
NolreDame.
Starting in Coach Pbelp's
back-court are Mainor and senior
playmaker Jack Bura who has
recorded 131 assists this year.
The Maroon has compensated
for their lack of height with an
emphasis on hustle, ball control
and shooting accuracy to rack up
the finest record of any Eastern
team.

Fairfield's George Groom and
Mark Frazer will be the key

of the game, opened the scoring
at 3:41 into the first period,
receiving a pass [rom Ted
Syberu.
lona moved in at one minute in
the second period to tie the
score, but Frissora retaliated at
3:04, scoring on assists by Jim
Monahan and Sybertz. At 6: 17 in
the same period, a penalty was
called because an lona skater
had thrown a stick at a Fairfield
player. A penalty shot was
awarded and Jim Monahan was
elected to take the shot. The
Stags have attempted three
penalty shots this season, but
Monahan was the only Stag
successful in beating out the
goalee in the showdown.
Frissora completed his "hat
trick plus" by tallying twice with
- in 14 seconds - .at 8:09 and 8:25.
The first was on an assist by
defenseman Barry Patterson
and the second was driven in
unassisted.
In the third period. lona made
a feeble attempt to come from
behind as they scored at 3:25.
However, Brian Newhall
finalized the Stag scoring with
just 4(l seconds left in the game
as he pushed the puck past

by his linesmen Bob Rupp and

in the Eastern Division.
St. Francis held Fairfield
scoreless through the first two
periods while they tallied once in
each. Ted Sybertz had a goal
nullified during the first period
because of interference with a
whistle from the crowd.
The Terriers scored again in
the third period but Chuck
Frissora was able to rush the
goalie for two Stags goals on a
power play. Frissora was also
awarded a penalty shot as a
result of a poor defensive play by
St. Francis when they had too
many men in the crease.
Frissora was unsuCCflssful in his
attempt to put the puck through
the pads of the Terrier goalee.
Fairfield took 36 shots on the
SI. Francis goal while the
Terriers attempted only twelve
shots. St. Francis accumulated
22 minutes of penalty time
including a ten minute
