In proposing a list of

restricted his choices to those

Willing to share the

He further said that he was
still unclear as to the real impact
of the Trustees' statement. He
suggested that action be taken
"within the system first:' One
suggestion was the passage of a
bill through the Connecticut
Intercollegiate State Legislature
to change the concept of the
trustee.
Dr. Dew commented on his

Faculty Consulte{l
In an interview last week. Fr..
Mcinnes explained that in
creating the committee he had
tried La form a group in which
members of all sectors of the
community could work in this
area of scholarships according to
their individual prerogatives.
"For this reason. I took the
proposal up with the
administrative board which has
both student and faculty
membership," he said.
He referred specifically to the
administrative board meeting
held on August 3 when student
intern. Robert Buccino,
presented the original proposal
for the undergraduate
scholarship committee.
According to the minutes of that
meeting, Dr. Frank Rice. a
faculty member on the board,
was present. Another faculty

ALONG LINE - Last weeks meeting of the student legislature saw observers and representatives mix
in the confines of Northwest Lounge as the meeting progressed. Here several senators and observers
review legislation under discussion.
MOVE THAT QUESTION - Vincent DeAngelo, (reshman commuter, cites a pointo( procedure in last
weeks legislature meeting which saw his constitutional amendments tabled. Other legislators look on.
As we entered the foyer. our
bags were inspected. coats.
books. brief cases and cameras
had to be checked, and visitors
were admitted only by name and
ticket. A young page. one of
several bustling about in all
directions during the session. led
us through the U.S. Marshall's
office into the high ceilinged
chamber with its marble
columns and red velvet drapes.
It appears to seat only about 100
spectators. The waiting line was.
in the words of the guard.
"unusually long today because of
interest in the issue". The
spaces reserved (or lawyers was
packed.
The setting of this secular
cathedral of justice was richly
austere. During the session
talking is not permitted: no
notes may be written: even
youthful bending forward (in
wariness?) was checked by the
constantly circulating monitor.
Promptly at 1:00 p.m. the
gavel banged. and the justices
entered. Looking exactly as they
appear in their formal portraits.
these eight men (Justice
Marshall missed the first
session) took their places with
the unending daily ritual that
characterizes this court both
physically and humanly.
The session runs on a strict
time table. Chief Justice Burger
called a lawyer forward and told
him he had 30 minutes to
conclude his case. The lime
allotted to each participant is
tightly scheduled and rigidly
adhered to. At any time in the
argument. a justice may - and
frequently does - interrupt to
ask a question. Having read the
written arguments and the
evidence of the lower court. they
ate mainly interested in points of
law and clarification of issues.
Hence there is a premium on
reSGae(ulness by the lawyer to
cover his points. yet be ready to
answer questions. ,
For the tint half hour. a
pr~ing case involving water'
rights in Colorado was
presented. At precisely 1:30

Colorado lawyers and announced

stepped to the lectern and began
his presentation. His main line of
argument centered around an
allejted impossibility of
separating the secular activities
of a school from the sectarian
nature of the school. At one point
he characterized the science
building as "an island of
secularity surrounded by a sea of
sectarianism". Under heavy
questioning he admitted that a
hospital performed a secular
function (curing the sick) even
though run by a religious order.
'But he argued that teaching was
permeated with religion as a
mandate of a church. He further
argued that sectarian schools
barred students from entrance
on religious jtrounds. (Mr.
Williams countered later that
such a claim was completely
contradictory to the trial
evidence.)

Fairfield's Day tn Court
By die Rev. w.e. Md..es, S.J.
On Tuesday,. March 2. one of
the most significant events in the
bistory of Fairfield University
took place in tow hours in
Washington - the review of the
Tillon VI. Ricbardson lawsuit by
the Supreme Court of the United
States. Ironically. neither
faculty nor students nor
administrators were actors in
the climactic drama. though the
outcome will significantly affect
the future not only of the
University but of over 870 other
church related colleges in the
United States.
It's been a long and costly trip
from an August day in 1968. when
a U.S. Marshall first served a
summons on the University. to
an overcast day in Washington
when 9 Supreme Court justices
gave the lawyer for the
defendant schools just one hour
of argument to review their case
before the country's highest
tribunal. Along the way the
primary defendant the
Secretary of Health. Education.
and Welfare - had changed three
times. But it was an issue. not a
man. on trial. The schools very
early had turned over the ....'hole
case to the best lawyers they
could locate - Mr. Edward
Bennett Williams of Washington
and our own local counsel of 25
years. Mr. Howard Owens. Sr.
It was not without some sense
of irony that I climbed the long
marble steps of the Supreme
Court building along with the
presidents of the three other
defending colleges. Back on the
campus the statement of the
Trustees on internal governance
policies was being distributed.
That same afternoon the faculty
was about to convene to discuss
the future of the scholarship
committee. But the real fate of
Fairfield rested in the visible
talents of lawyers and the
invisible minds of nine court
justices in Washington. D.C.
The physical surroundings of
the court add to the
overpowering drama or the
session. Admission to a court
session is by ticket only. Yet
anyone can get a visitor's ticket.
The catch is that by making
reservations in advance. the
visitor has no idea of what cases
will be heard on that day.
Consequently, the defendant
colleges were allotted only six
tickets for the twO'day session.
while visitors held the rest. So
we were surrounded by assorted
girl scouts from Dubuque. a
sociolo]IJ: class from
Philadelphia. a visiting
government delegation (rom
overseas. and several law
students from Washington
schools. each of the latter
parties filing in and out at about
20 minute intervals.

of the Neutral Commission. Mr.
Gallagher spoke in support of a
bill that would make the Student
Government discontinue
participation in the
Commission's investigations into
the charges brought a~ainst Fr.
Mcinnes last spring.
Mr. Gallagher expressed the
view that the students had been
sold out. In supporting the bill he

points have already been

DeAngelo was tabled until the
next regular meeting of the
legislature. This was done in
order to provide sufficient time
for the legislators to carefully
study the amendments before
acting upon them.
A previously tabled bill was
then brought up for
consideration. This bill proposed
by Chris Campbell calls for the
publication and distribution of
all pieces of legislation to be
brought before the legislature.
According to the provisions in
this bill, the Student
Government office will be open
on Mondays and Fridays to allow
bill proponants with an
opportunity to type and
mimeograph the bills and
resolutions. This bill will be
reviewed the meeting after next
to insure its practicality.
Study Proposed
Sam McTyre proposed a bill
establishing an ad hoc
committee to study the roles of
resident advisors and dorm
councils. Me. McTyre expressed
the view that the roles of the
resident advisors and the dorm
council members are very
indefinite. The bill passed, and
the committee will consist of the
dorm chairmen or their

including a multi-group concert
in the spring.
Artistic Incegrity
The one factor that pleased me
the most about the concert was
that it was held in Philbarmonic
Hall. Last time they were in the
New York area. B,S&T played in
Madison Square Garden......hich
has music acoustics on about the
same level as Xavier Hall - not
to mention the fact that you need
binoculars to see the stage. To

performs there has simply gone

these smaller halls rather than

Garden show that they are truly
interested in artistic integrity
and not in getting the fast buck. I
am pleased to see that B.S&T
has joined this illustrious list of
groups who care about their
music.
Things are looking much
brighter for Blood. Sweat and
Tears. Now if only their new
album can live up to the promise
they showed on their second
effort.
prominent civic leaders from
surrounding communities, along
with science professors from
area universities and secondary
schools invited. A guest speaker
from the science field is
currently being sought.
Following the ceremonies will
be a two-hour reception which
will include demonstrations by
both student and faculty
members of the science
departments. Mr. Ryan stated
that this exhibition should prove
very beneficial to both visitors
and parents, in that they will get
an opportunity to view the
numerous areas of study which
Bannow serves as well as seeing
the wealth of equipment the
building contains.
W. Earl Taylor, associate
director of development,
outlined the Parent's Day
events. Following registration, a
folk mass will be celebrated by
the Rev. William C. Mcinnes.
S.J. DirecUy after the mass
there will be a champagne
brunch in the Oak Room,
followed by a concert presented
by the Women's Chorus, under
the direction of Andrew Heath.
Mr. Taylor felt that the concert,
the first to be given by the group,
will be significant in
exemplifying the addition of
women to the university.
Concluding the day's activities
will be a cocktail hour and dinner
buffet foUowing the ceremonies
and reception at Rannow.
Probably the highlight of the
evening was an excellent
trumpet solo by previously ­overlooked
member Lew Soloff.
fter years of standing in the
backRround. he was finally able
to get out in front. and in the
process displayed some
remarkable talents. However
many of the other solos became
tedious after awhile. especially
Fred Lispius' alto saxophone
solo. and Dick Halligan's organ
solo.
No Climax
Another undesirable
derivative of their new format
was that the concert did not build
to a climax like B.S&T's
performances previously did.
While they gave four encores. it
seemed to this observer that the
last three: were forced because
they didn't want the audience to
go away dissatisfied.
Overall though. I feel that
Blood. Sweat and Tears new
concert format is a change for
the better. It will allow B,$&T
to grow and will make for a more
harmonious group spirit. since
lead singer David Clayton
Thomas won't be the only one
constantly hogging the spotlight.
New Malerial
Another revealing factor of the
group's concert was that they did
very little material from their
third album. which was almost
universally panned in the
underground rock journals. They
mostly did compositions from

week. Although their albums sell
like wild·fire. the group has been
accused of being uncreative.
money-mad and over-patriotic
(because they did a State
Department tour behind the iron
curtain last summer).
Exact Duplications
Blood. Sweat and Tears is
obviously quite sensitive to this
criticism. because they bave
chanRed their sta~e act quite a
bit since the last bme I had seen
them. Previously. they played
one song after another with the
same arrangements as appeared
on the recorded version. This
method allowed little room for
solos or experimentation. but
enabled the group to keep their
fans happy by exact duplications
of their records (much like
Creedence Clearwater Revival).
At last week's concert
however. all this had chan~ed.
Almost every song had a solo in
the middle. with the beginning
and end sections remaining the
same as on record. This manner
of presentation produced some
very enthralling moments and
some very boring moments.

Due to a coincidence in

employers through his office is
down 50%. Last year 90 firms
came to Fairfield to interview
June graduates: so far this year
only 45 firms have engaged in
recruiting activity.
A recent survey conducted by
the College Placement Council.
to which Fairfield niversity
belongs. shows that college
recruiting is off 21 ~ from last
year. This cut back has been felt
in all three of the job ~roupings:
business and humanities

and marketing): engineering
(aeronautical. chemical. civil.
electrical. industrial.
mechanical. and metallurgical):
and sciences (agricultural
sciences, chemistry.
mathematics. and physics).
The findings of the survey also
indicate that the employers plan
to hire 23'.l fewer college
graduates.
Hit Harder
Fairfield's situation is more
unique accordin~ to Mr. Cook.
"The small liberal arts colle~e is
more affected than the large
university."
Another factor that must be
considered is Fairfield's
location. The aerospace industry
whiCh is important in the
Southern New England eeonomy
is experiencing a sharp decline
in employment because of
government spending cut backs.
Another location
characteristic is that
"unemployment is about 9'X in
the Bridgeport area which is the
highest it has been since the
Depression." Mr. Cook
continued.
Employers are taking a wait
and see attitude in regard to the
economic situation of the
country. According to the

employers are prepared to retain
the status quo until they can be
fairly confident that of a surl!:e in

Those people who sit back

may have a problem.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Student Government
constitution requires that
commuters have as many
representatives (on a 1 to 35
apportionment) as boarding
students. Further, the Off·
Campus Arrairs ChInn. first
appointed by Al Mariani in 1969,
continued last year, and to be
continued by Steve Dormer,
provides that constituency with a
post on the Exeeutive Board just
as boarding students are
represented by the Residence
Hall Cbmn. Recent commuter
activity is an encouraging sign
that the peOple already in these
positions will be forced by their
constituency to take a more
active role in policy making.
"Time for Help" proposes an
equally commendable goal, that
of encouraging the Student
Government to seek professional
advice on Finances. However,
the Government need hardly
look past the campus for such
advice. There are numerous
'people both within the Faculty
and Administration which could
be of aid to the government in
this capacity.
There were difficulties to be
sure with the method in which
the activities fee was collected
and distributed this year. Your
critical hindsight tells us nothing
that the people involved aren't
already aware of and currently
working to correct. It was the
first year that such a large task
had been undertaken, and
certain problems as well as
confusion could understandably
be expected. I woold like to
thank both Dean Schimpf. Mr.
Hickson, Mr. Stone, and Fr.
Mcinnes for their coopration in
the malter.
As to spending policies once
the money was collected; it
would seem that the Editorial
Board is the group in need of
"help" by way of informa~ion.
The government currently has
over $9,000 in the Treasury; a
check of over $5,000 is on the way
from the Administration for fees
collected over and above those
initially turned over, and Mrs.
William Merrit. Chmn. of the
Legislature's Appropriations
Committee, is currently
undertaking steps that will
insure payment of outstanding
fees. Yet your Board sees fit to
make the incredulous statement

To the Editor:
I have always felt the

Voice'. policy of adhering to
objective journalism. However,
this ob,iective standard was
blatantly !ransgressed in the
article "Trustees Want OUlSide
Members" in the March 5. 1971
issue of the paper. In accord with
the rather curious Voice
tradition of anonymous writers.
it is impossible to pinpoint who
should receive the blame for
these travesties because there in
no by-line on the article.
As anyone familiar with
journalism knows, the main
point of the story should be
related in the first paragraph.
Surely the most important (act
of the Board of Trustees story to
the majority of the campus was
whether or not they approved the
~2 expansion which ended the
strike last year. However, the
decision regarding the expansion
is instead buried in the fifth
paragraph and is not mentioned
in the lead. The author of the
story clearly added his own
subjective bias to the topic ­something
which has no place in
a paper that claims to be
objective.
It would seem appropriate for
the author of this article to be
warned by the editors to avoid
this sort of subjectivism in the'
future. If this sort of reporting

Misimpressions
To the Editor:
Congratulations are in order to
those selected to the new
Editorial Board of the
U.ivenity Voice. 1 sincerely
hope this Board will become a
strong voice for progress, yet not
mere expediency.
At the same time, it appears
necessary to clarify a few
misimpressions under which the
Board was operating at the time
of its last editorial decisions.
In "Open Campus" the Board
suggests tbat "a full
complement of students in
commuter positions of the
Student Legislature and the
institution of an office of
commuter affairs would do well
as a beginning" toward making
the commuting student a more
integral part of the Ultiversity. I
fully support the goal, yet I must
point out that the means
suggested already exist. The
To The Editor:
There are two important
factors affecting the teacher
evaluation which I forgot to
mention at the panel on
February 18th. Since early this
year there have been continuous
and public attempts to arouse
bosWity toward the faculty. I
submit that a teacher evaluation
undertaken in this sort of
atmosphere will inevitably be
open to question. In addition to
this a public suggestion was
made that the teacher evalc.ation
be used to convince the faculty
that they should vote for
tripartite. This suggestion
creates a suspicion that the
teacher evaluations will be
political rather than
professional.
The extent of these two
influences will never be
adequately evaluated.
Nevertheless there will always
be doubts. This is unfortuna.te in
view of the amount o( sincere
e[fort put forth by the students in
the survey.
The long·awaited Statement of University
Governance by the Board of Trustees made its descent
last week. We are encouraged by the overall spirit of
the report. but find it extremely lacking in factual
information and direction for actual implementation.
There appear to us to be three major points that
simultaneously show signs of future progress and yet
require further clarification. They are the paragraph­dealing
with the replacement of present Board
members, the parag~ph regarding "adding faculty,
students and administrators to committees of the
Board," and the paragraphs dealing with the
Constitutional Convention.
The General Faculty has recently voted for Dr.
George Baehr to replace the Rev. Thomas McGrath,
S.J., as one of its representatives to the University
Council. In Dr. Baehr the faCUlty has chosen a man who
only weeks before reminded his colleagues that
"students and faculty are not the same" while speaking
against the tri-partite traffic court.
While realizing that divergent I'easoning may exist in
each case. this action coupled with the General
Faculty's defeat of the traffic court and the proposed
merger of its committee with the tri-partite­admissions
committee seem to indicate a
determination on its part to permit working tri-partite
activity.
Although the most recent actions were taken on the
votes of only 92 members of the faculty, the results
point to a trend of unwillingness to join with other
segments of the community for the common good.
These actions have in turn triggered rising fears that
the faculty will never permit the work of the
Constitutional Convention to be actualized.
These matters lead us to question the good will and
faith of all parties in dealing with governance and
power.
We endorse the removal of University community
members from the board, recogniZing the need for an
objectivity. the lack of which can too easily lead to
stiffling "entanglement in the daily routine of the
University". However, we seriously question the
ambiquity of the word "gradually". We choose to infer
that the Trustees intend to implement such
replacement ID lIle very Dear future, an inference we
find in agreement with the overall spirit of the report.
We strongly recommend that the board include as
members. students and faculty from other institutions
of similar size and problem.s, to allow for
representation of all points of view in the general
academic community, while avoiding biased
subjectivity.
We are encouraged by the expansion of the board's
committees. It will allow the full participation of all
sectors of the community in fact-finding and advisory
functions, functions which provide the board with the
substantive knowledge to base its decisions. A phrase
such as "is currently drawing up plans to accomplish
this," however, leaves us with questions as to the
means of actualizing this concept. Such questions
necessitate immediate consideration.
We applaud the sincerity of the board in stating that
it "intends to promote an environment which will
enable (all sectors of the community) to carry out the
purposes of the University and to maximize the
contribution of all to its decision making." We infer, .
again. that the board will maintain such an attitude
when the final work of the Constitutional Convention is
presented to them for their approval.
Some will interpret our opinions as an example of the
kind of mistrust which has prohibited meaningful
progress within the community in the past. We do,
indeed. recognize the existence of such mistrust. We
further recognize the fact that Ute alienation, which is
present in our University today, stems directly from
trusts, founded on bUDd faith. broken by all in the past.
In order to overcome this obstacle, to allow for a
rebirth of trust. concomitance of faith aDd fact must be
constructed.

with their tutors. When someone
has accomplished a task. he is
encouraged to share his

is he pressured forward. If a boy

the minimum necessities,
Capsule does not allow copouts ­either
by students or teachers.
Wolfer's hope for the Capsule
approach is that it results in
concerned human bein~s. As the
program's director, his desire
for every student is that he grow
as a person during his three
years at Prep.
Individualism Recognized
As a "Catholic" school. Wolfer
says. F,P. is obliR"ated to
recofi!nize the uniqueness of each
student. Rather than mold that
uniqueness into a predetermined
pattern. Wolfer believes that an
individual's talents should be
allowed to nourish, Boys should
be taugbt how to learn. Then
they will - gladly.
For Capsule. says Wolfer, .. the
world is our classroom." And it
really is. Students are brought to
the sources of knowledge
'!Yhenever possible. During one
summer session. the boys study
fine arts. However, they do not
merely read about the arts - they
experience them. They make
films. visit museums. paint.
learn to make music.
Learning Experienced
During another summer
session. students can visit Spain.
There they experience the
culture whose language they are
learning. Through such an
expedition the students grow.
..\ccording to Wolfer. no one is
responsible for youth except
parents and teachers. As an
educator. he believes he has an
obligation to youth - to help his
boys become the best people
they can. Much of his job lies in
coping with the American
Concept of failure.
"Failure is a bad thing in
America." says Wolrer.
Unfortunately. many people do
not realize that there exist multi­means
for success. Most
educational complexes jUdge
failure and success. Most
educational complexes jUdge
failure and success by means of
a grading system. Such systems.
according to Wolfer. are unfair.
"People just don't all achieve
the same things." Thus. Capsule
has no marks. Rather. tutors
individually evaluate each
student's progress. Learning
becomes a personal process.
Programs Contrasted
How do Capsule teachers feel'?
When Mr. Sylvester - who has
taught with both the traditional
Prep - and the Capsule methods·
was asked how the two programs
contrasted. he said: "The other
way was easier." Me. Wolfer
doggedly agrees. It is difficult at
first for students and teachers to
join one another in the learning
process. Barriers have already
been built. It requires a
concerted effort by both students
and teachers to break them
down. Capsule tries to do this.
and it seems to have succeeded.
Capsule Program Informal
Throughout the interview with
Mr. Wolfer. Capsule students
entered the office to briefly chat
with their director and his
assistant. Their manner was
casual and unaffected. As Wolfer
has pointed out. Capsule students
learn to be themselves,
The innovative program has
succeeded at Prep. Come June.
Fairfield University will assume
responsibility for the first
Capsule graduates. The program
at the college level will be
headed by Richard Regan of the
English department. It is the
strong hope of Capsule's Prep
staff and student body that the
program next year will continue
to give students the
opportunities and
encouragement that are
conducive to learning and human
growth.

begins a new insigbt into one
segment of education at
Fairfield Prep.
The Capsule (Creative
Approach Performance in
Secondary and University Level
Education) Program at the Prep
opened during the summer of
1968. Led by Director Michael
Wolfer. and assisted by Robert
Sylvester. the program has
survived its first hurdles, Come
June. Prep will graduate its first
Capsule class.
To find out just what Capsule
is and does. I sought comment
from Director Wolfer. His reply
was enthusiastic and
straiRhtforward.
Back-8tep Dropped
The best way to describe
Capsule. according to Wolfer, is
to contrast it against the
common back-step approach in
American education. The back­step
approach. in which students
progress according to grade
level. holds students back. They
cannot learn at their own speeds.
Nor can they share new
knowledge with their peers.
Basically. this method is a hifi!hly
CQmpetitive system in which
each person finds for himself.
Very little human interaction
exists among students and
teachers.
Capsule provides a different
approach. In this innovative
program, students work at their
own speeds through three
summers and three academic
years. They are given
··contracts." which designate
that a specific amount of
knowledge be comprehended by
a given time.Then they are free
to learn.

On the second question, the

A third motion was then
introduced that expressed the
council's wish to "discuss these
committees with the executive
board of the Board of Trustees in
order to keep the community
informed of the progress of their
implimentation...
There was an attempt to add a
20 day time limit as a rider to the
motion, but this failed by a 5-5-1
count. The original motion was
then accepted with only one
abstention.
Neutral Board
During the course of debate
the question of the Neutral
Commission entered the
arguments. Former Student
Government President Dennis
Gallagher pointed out that the
commission was to report to the
enlarged boa.d: which was not
coming into existance,
Dr. King Dykeman noted that
the University had earlier
considered this problem and had
decided that the commission
should continue meeting and
report its findings to both the
trustees and the council. Other
faculty opinion indicated that the
position of the faculty had
changed since the time of the
Cox Amendment and that the
term "enlarged" had been used
to add moral suasion.
In regard to the question of the
commission's authority, Mr.
Buccino and Me. Mirisola stated
that the chairman. Albert
Waugh, had discussed the matter
with the Rev. William C.
Mcinnes, S.J., and decided that
its ultimate authority for
existance was the president. The
students questioned whether this
could mean interference by the
president with the board's action
and whether, in fact. it had
already happened.
These contentions were
disputed by Dean SChimpf. who
is serving as the president's
representative before the
Neutral Commission.
Dr. Barone cautioned the
council members about
involving themselves in the
normal activities of the
commission.

The University Council will
next meet on May ]8 to consider

At 11:50 the third in the series­-

entangled the government in
church affairs. Asimilar case in
Connecticut, which would have

the University Council.
In other action the council met
with Neutral Commission
members Robert Buccino and
John Mirisola to consider
questions about the
commission's founding, power
source and the body to which it is
to report its findings.
Dav'" Motion
Paul l. Davis introduced a
motion, which was later divided
into separate items, stating:

In the general discussion that
followed a wide variety of
opinions were expressed about
the motion. Mr. Davis said that
it would be of benefit if all
sectors of the community were
represented on the Board of
Trustees. Student members
indicated that this would be
consistant with the council's
previous positions.
During a suspension of rules, a
student spectator raised the
point that the Trustees' action
was a violation of last spring's
agreement. Dean William
Schimpf retorted that last
spring's resolution called for the
active solicitation of the
measure by the University
Council which was carried out by
the representatives.
Dennis Gallagher proposed
that Mr, Davis' motion be

claimed that only the Slate of

committee should' handle any

members and the security

Court's OperalioDs
The traffic court operates in
conjunction with the security
office. When traffic violations
occur and the offenders are
issued tickets. the courts
receives notification of the
offense from the security office.
The board members send
subpoenas to the offenders in
which they are instructed to
answer within 48 hours.
The court offers the traffic
violators a recourse. If the
individual pleas guilty to the
violation he pays the ticket.
However. if he should desire tQ..
contest the nature of the charge
he is able to appear before the
traffic court. Thus the court
serves as an instrument of
appeal.
"When a violator contests a
chara:e the court is very
interested in hearing his reply".
voiced &ucher. "Through these
informal hearings we are able to
identify the basic problems and
~arch for solutions."
This individual. by appearing
before the board was able to
avoid the fine and help the board

does. It runs on an informal basis
striving to understand the
positions' or individual
community members and
solving the traffic problems.
"It is very unfortunate that the
faculty doesn't desire to get
involved in the operations of the
board". retorted Boucher.
"Almost every faculty member
is confronted by the traffic
system on campus. When he is
guilty of a traffic violation and
appears before the court there
aren't any members of his peer
group to hear and evaluate his
position."
However Mr. &ucher stated
that a considerable number of
faculty members have appeared
before the court and all accepted
the nature and decision of the
'board.
Fa~lty Crltlciu Method
At a later meeting, lhe
academic council appointed the
four members of the faculty to
act on the ad hoc committee.
This move was later criticized
by a petition signed by a number
of faculty members who
demanded the re-call of the
faculty delegates.
During last Tuesday's faculty
meeting, a number of faculty
explained that they favored the
idea of having a lripartite
committee work in this area but
could not condone the method
used to form it. Dr. Morris
Grossman noted that he had
repeatedly objected, during ad
hoc committee meetings, to the
way which the committee had
been formed. Former chairman
of the faculty committee, the
Rev. James Murphy, S.J., also
decried the lack of faculty input
prior to the group's formation.
Dr. Vincent Rosivach claimed
that tbe president was
"unilaterally amending the
faculty handbook."
No one at the meeting,
including Dr. Rice. mentioned
that any faculty members had
been· consulted, formally,
through the administrative
board.
Contacted last weekend. Dr.
Rice agreed that he had. in fact,
been present at the
administrative board meeting at
which Mr. Buccino had issued
his proposal. last summer. He
added that he had personally
favored the proposal. He
explained, ho.....ever. he did not
consult with any other faculty
members concerning the matter
since with summer school over
there were very few still around.
Varied DeliDllion
Fr. Murphy later asserted
that, in his opinion, the faculty
was not really consulted, but
merely informed through the
administrative board. He felt
that real faculty consultation
would have to include
communication with members
on the faculty committee on
admissions and scholarships
which did not take place.
A similar viewpoint was
expressed by Dr. Grossman,
after the meeting, who explained
that he could not consider the
consultation as significant unless
it included some communicstion
with members of the faculty
committee. He added that he
also thought any members of the
faculty who were officially told
about the proposal should have
made an effort to contact the
faculty directly concerned.
Both agreed, however, that no
one had attempted to define
faculty consultation during the
meeting on Tuesday.
The president said that he
hoped that the difficulties could
be ironed out between all
interested parites and be able to
come up with some working
committee.

civil court, but rather as
appellate board where traffic
violations can be reviewed.
Faculty Vetoes Representation
Upon the creation of the traffic
court the Academic Council
appointed Rev. James Murphy.
S.J. as an "ad hoc" faculty
member to the court.
Ho.....ever opposition to the
faculty participation in the court
arose and a petition was
circulated among faculty
members to withdraw Fr.
Murphy from the board.
At a general faculty meeting
Despite the faculty's recent
decision to disallow faculty
participation on the university's
newly formed traffic court, the
tribunal continues to run as a bi­patrite
body in its weekly task of
investigating. reviewing and
solving the university's traffic
problems.
Presently itdministrating the
court, which convenes each
Friday, are students Robert
Buccion '71 and Edward
Boucher, assistant head
resident. According to Boucher,
"the court doesn't function as a
representative, Dr. William
Garrity was absent but received
a copy of the minutes. No one at
the meeting objected to the
proposal.
Letter &0 Dr. Rice
Concerning the possibility of
his new committee infringing on
faculty prerogatives, Fr.
McInnes also pointed out a letter
which he wrote to Dr. Rice who
is also general secretary of the
faculty. The letter as printed in
the December 9 academical
council minutes, explains why
the committee was created and
goes on to note that ... "It is my
understanding from discussions
with you that it would not
interfere with the Faculty
Admissions and Scholarship
Committee, but would take over
one-half of their work ..... He
also asked for faculty
appointments.
Dr. Rice answered the
president by simply notifying
him who the present members of
the Faculty Committee on
Admissions and SCholarships
were.
No OpposiCioD
Fr. McInnes emphasized that
"at no time was any opposition
raised by either of the faculty
members on the board." He
added that because there seemed
to be mutual agreement among
all members it was decided that
it ·.....ould take over half of the
faculty committee's work.
In the December 7 meeting of
the administrative board,
however, neWly appointed
faculty member, Richard
Regan. stated that he thought the
faculty would like to see a copy
of the proposal in order to
examine the scope and status of
the ad hoc committee, before
making facully appointments lo

with the assumption that it will
be acted upon.
Closed Circuit
Presently, the observing room
of the lab has a very limited
capacity. This summer's
workshop will see an innovation
in the form of closed circuit
television. Mrs. Deia:nan
expressed a ~eat deal of
enthusiasm about this new
approach. "I'm reallv excited
because we will now be able to
increase our observing
capacity. "
The direct observation in the
lab will still be used only the
students will alternate in
observing from the lab and then
from classroom television.
In addition, tapes will be made
from the observations. "The
T.V. tapes will be of great
assistance to us in the Fall and
Spring." comments Mrs.
Deignan. "Our classes meet at
inopportune times which do not
allow that the children be
broua:ht in for observation."
Graduate classes meet at 4:30 in
the afternoon.

periods. The remaining courses
in the nursing school are based
on the school of liberal arts.
Susitivity Traiable
The sensitivity training is
described by one of the students
as "just a way to feel
consideration for others". Each
group talks about personal
feelings and trys to develop
communication and
understanding among its
members.
Another student nurse
dedared there is no defined goal
in these sessions but simply "a
way to develop trusl in each
other. "
The continuation of the
sensitivity training on a
classroom basis is "undecided"
according to Mrs. Dolan. There
is the possibiliby of continuing
the course but on a no-credit
basis.
The other session, discussions
on nursing, involves the who,
what and why of nursing. Each
period the girls discuss the role
of a nurse and also the
importance of preparing for this
career.
In general the Dean of Nursing
and her staff are well pleased
with the current experimental
program.

Mrs. Deignan characterized
the children they deal with "as

problem is that they cannot

observed range from aa:es 3 to 14
and are generally chosen
through contacts at public

Either Mrs. Deignan or Dr.
SChiller test the child on a one to

is then formed and whoever has
conducted the encounter with the

FAIRFIELD'S LARGEST DONOR· Gustav NyseUus of Stanford
Connecticut who has presented the university with its largest gift
to date from and individual, was honored along with his wife
Dagmar by the Board of Trustees who voted to name the library in
their honor. Mr. Nyselius (ft.) is shown presenting a certificate
for stocks valued in excess of $160,000 to the Rev. William C.
McGuinnes, president of the university.
Next year the Nursing School
will emphasize in its program
the importance of healthy
physical and mental aspects in
preparation for more difficult,
advanced courses. A part-time
hospital work proa:ram a:eared to
this object will be initiated for
credit to help the students,
whose number will increase
from 21 to a total of 40 next fall.
In this work program
accredited area hospitals such as
Stamford, St. Joseph and
Greeflwich will be involved in
the planned project.
Participants in the program will .
be under the guidance of
experienced nurses and take part
in the daily routine of hospital
life. Elizabeth Dolan, Dean of
Student Nursing, felt that the
main advantage to this would be
that ··the girls would learn and
experience things not taught in
the classroom".
The hospital program is
planned for two days a week for
three hours per day but Mrs.
Dolan asserted that this is
tentative. She stated that the
length of time spent each week
will depend largely on the
particular courses taken by each
individual and also on the
teacher's objectives for each
student.
Mrs. Dolan also added that the
program in general "will be
considered a lab which is
suitable to the whole nursing
program."
Naning Committu
Selection of hospital uniforms
to be worn by the student nurses
is now being discussed by a
small nursing committee
composed of students. Mrs.
Dolan and Barbara Sidlow,
assistant dean of nursing, act as
adVisory members for the group.
The committee is also
considering the possibility of
student nurses working in area
public health agencies other than
hospitals. With this group Mrs.
"Dolan expressed her hope to
"invite more girls in the
committee to obtain more
opinions and ideas concerning
next year's curriculum.
Mrs. Dolan further indicated
that more changes in the present
curriculum are difficult to
foresee. Current courses are still
in the experimental stages and
are not yet finalized.
The format of the nursing
school this year includes two
different periods of sensitivity
training and discussions on
nursing. The girls are divided
into two sections which meet

when he'll have an abundance of
blue-chip guards to pick from.

The fact that the hockey club is
enjoying tremendous success
hasn't caught on yet with many
people as the Stags have drawn
no more than 500 fans a game.
The regular turnout they do get.
however, provides enough
support to match that of any
athletic team on campus.
The constant fast. hitting
action on ice provided by such
skaters as Guy LaFlamme, Jim
Monahan, Chuck Frissora, Ted
Syberta, Marty Vierling and
crowd pleaser Jerry Michaud is
often complemented by the loud
din from the loyal supporters of
Stag hockey.
The atmosphere of the
Bridgeport Wonderland of Ice
will definitely give you that
winter sport feeling in much the

atmosphere is evidenced by the

simply can't tell it's that cold in
the place. A Fairfield hockey
crowd is certainly different from
the average subdued crowd of
other sports.
The playoff schedule is still
pending but since it is double
elimination it seems certain the
Stags will be back on home ice at
least once more so that anyone
who has missed out on this
unique experience can take in a
game and whatever else he
wishes.

The Fairfield Rugby Football
Club kicks off its spring season
saturday with high hopes as they
travel to New Jersey to meet
Rutgers University in three
matches.
Last Fall the Ruggers played
Rutgers at home on the rolling
hills of Corbett Field, and
defeated them 14-0. Rutgers
should be tougher since many of
their football players play rugby
in the spring.
Despite the recent bad
weather the team has been
working to get in shape for the
coming season.
Belleficial WeekeM CliDk
Two weeks ago the Club
sponsored a week-end rugby
clinic at Fairfield, in conjunction
with the Essex and Manhattan
Rugby Clubs. Approximately
ninety players from the three
clubs attended the clinic, which
dealt with fundamentals such as
play in loose scrums and
backfield maneuvers, as well as
covering theory and tactics.
The clinic was primarily
conducted by the coach and the
more experienced players from
the Manhattan Club, some of
whom were members of the New
York all-star team which last
fall upset the highly touted Fiji
national team.
Since the clinic week-end the
club has changed its brand of
rugby, putting more emphasis on
running.
As junior vice-eaptain Chris
Galvin commented, "the
Manhattan experience helped us
quite a bit, and we've made a
radical change in our style.
We're going to play European­type
rugby."
This means there will be less
kiding, as the Ruggers will try
to control the ball on the ground
with hard running and fast
serum play.
