Student 'Trustees'
To Secure Status
The six student ..trustees"
have issued their statement of
purpose calling for support from
all segments of the University
community in their efforts "to
secure acknowledgement of our
status as trustee:s of this
University at the next &ard of
Trustees meetin~."
Ken Daly. acting chairman of
the student group, read the
position paper to open the first
"trustee: report" that attracted
about 50 people to the Oak Room
last Monday.
In addition to Mr, Daly present
for the question and answer
period ....'hich followed were
James Ruane. David Johnson.
John Fallon. Robert Buccino and
Kevin McAuliffe, ....'ho formed
the delegation of "trustee:s"
el~ted by the Student Senate on
March 8.
Mixed Representation
The statement contended that
the. ultimate legal authoirty
should be shared by both
individuals external to the
institution and interested parties
from within the university, They
noted that the only way "of
competently and completely
inculcatinR this philosophy is the
inclusion of student. faculty and
alumni on the present Board of
Trustees,"
In a "Report on University
Governance" issued earlier this
month. the Trustees advocated
the phasing out of all internal
members of the University
Community with the exception of
the president who would no
longer serve in the ex-officio
position of chairman of the
boa"'.
According to the statement of
purpose. the student "trustee:s",
believing their actions to be in
the best interests of the
University. will support "fully
and completely the philosophy of
tri-partite governance as
evidenced by the workings of the
Constitutional Convention" and
are actively enlisting the "aid
and opinion of the University
community" as they exercise
functions of trustees. seek
support of the entire community.

put the faculty on record as

Paul Davis (History). who
proposed the motion of regret in
the University Council, reacted
negatively to the aoard's
statement. He viewed it as
"reactionary rather than
conservative," but expressed the
hope that the Trustee:s might be
persuaded to chanRe their
position, While he never
considered &-&2 a feasible
formula for expansion, he felt
that the addition of one or two
students. faculty, and alumni
would have been most practical.

Cox AmeDdment . Irrevelant
Although he regards the
statement as a step forward. Mr.
Cox questioned the need for any
Board of Trustee:s. It is his
impression that the concept of a
Trustee derives from the
peculiarlties of American law,
which demand the establishment
of a trust even for educational
institutions. On an abstract
level. therefore. he finds the idea
of a Board "deplorable". but
apparently n~essary to stand
between the university and the

recommendations of the

maintain that "some fine things
are being done at Fairfield and
neither rumor nor mistatement
will do them justice in any way."
Organizer Comments
One of the two students who
planned the demonstration.
Susan Hernandez '74 offered
further explanation. She
emphasiZed that they merely
wanted to remind the students
that the Lenten Season was here.
"It was never intended to be a
'mock Mass' ." she added.
Miss Hernandez explained that
she and the other studem
organizer. John Durger. had
broujdlt a loaf of bread because
they thought that since the class
met so early in the day. some
students might not have eaten
breakfasl·and would be hunRry.
They placed it on a table for lack
of a better place. she said.
As for the yellow cross and
purple background. she said that
those were traditional Easter
season colors. The incense was
added for atmosDhere.
Cride DecliDes to Comment
"We definitely did not mean to
upset anyone's Catholic beliefs".
she noted. "I do think that
Arlene was wrong. however. in
not approaching either John. Mr.
Benney or myself before writing
to an outside newspaper."
When contacted early this
week. Miss Richter declined to
comment on her letter. She
noted that she did not read either
of the campus papers because
she did not think that they were
"valid."
Due to the conflicts with late
classes, gym hours at Julie Hall

and two alumnI." "The six
students claimed that proposal
number two, was simply 'a
request that the Trustees
consider a motion for expansion,
and not a guarantee" that the
Board would expand
automatically..,
This request was fuUilled
when the Board's subcommittee
on University Governance was
created to investigate the
feasibility of expansion.
The students went on to say
that proposal number one was
inconsistent with the second
proposal. "Whereas in number
two the Council asked the Board
to consider expansion, in number
one it was already anticipating
one of two possible results of this
consideration. "
In addition the circular pointed
out that the Council at its first
meeting of 1971, amended
proposal number one to read .. to
the Board of Trustees," thus
deleting the word "enlarged". It
also specified that the Council
itself would receive the report of
the Neutral Commission.
Therefore, "concluded the
statement," (l) There is no
University Council proposal that
the report of the Neutral
Commission should go to the
enlarged Board of Trustees. (2)
None of the original five
proposals have been violated."
The paper was released in
reply to a Student Government
Bill, designed to recall student
representatives from the
Neutral Commission. The bill,
considered at Tuesday's
emergency session of the
legislature, had been proposed
under the assumption that there
was no enlarged Board and that
the University Council's
recommendation concerning the
report of the Neutral
Commission had been violated.
Classmates' Differ
that the University should be
largely independent from the
outside community and that "the
only legitimate body for
governing the University should
come from within:' he wondered
why the Board could not serve in
an advisory capacity on legal
and financial matters. while the
real power of governance would
reside in a University Senate.
Mr. Bligh accepted the
Board's definition of itself as an
external entity. but qualified this
by stating that everything hinges
upon the degree of respect
accorded to the committees.
"Students during the strike
strove for too much
involvement. The establishment
of advisory committees. if given
maximum consideration by the
Board, .....ould serve as a more
concrete platfonn flom which
students could implement
reform."
Student Publish Circular
Regarding Council Proposals
Six undergraduate students
recently distributed a position
paper refuting the claim that the
Board of Trustees had violated
the University Council's five
proposal's which ended last
spring's strike.
Larry Benson, Bob Byrn, Joe
DiCorpo. Ken Doughty, Tom
Gugliotti and Frank Kinney
defined the purpose of the
statement as "neither to
condemn nor approve" the
Trustees' refusal to expand, but
to clarify the Council's
recommendations and to
demonstrate that these had
already been executed.
According to the Council's
first proposal of April 4, 1970 the
report of a Neutral Commission,
created to investigate the
charges against Fr. McInnes
would be forwarded to the
enlarged Board of Trustees.
Secondly the Council
recommended that "Fr.
McInnes as chairman of the
Board and President of the
University, at the next meeting
of the Board, shall introduce and
actively solicit a motion from
the Board to increase student
and faculty representation by six
students, six faculty members

decided to write another letter to
the Post. listing four areas in
which they differed with their
c1assmale's version of what took
place.
The letter explains that the
class. whose official course title
is "Contemporary Theology of
Man." has people of various
faiths in it and thus the
demonstration bore no
relationship to the Catholic

Mass". they said.
According to the students. the
spirit of the action was "one of
Christian cooperation and the
setting was initiated by several
students who thought since Lent
had begun. we should do
something to recognise this
fact. ..
They also point out that
nothing even took place until
after their instructor had given a
lecture on Karl Rahner for 40
minutes of the 50 minute class
period.
The letter remarks that. "We
are appalled that such an
innocent action in a university

Mr. Greeley. who approves the

document of the Constitutional
Conv....ntion will be passed and
thus sees the advisory
committees to the Board "as a
link between the University
Senate and the Trustees." In this
way the committees will serve a
valuable function.
Assistant Academic Dean. Dr.
Vincent Murphy. displayed a
similar sentiment. "The
Trustees' statement provides a

membership would be more
beneficial than an unbiased. but
uninformed external Board."
In addition Mr. Leary
exhibited concern regarding the
role of Fr. Mcinnes on the new
Board. "If Fr. Mcinnes can

asked. "why shOuld other

explained. is a constant aim

Ned! for Creativity
Mr. Nash emphasized this
need for creativity in the area of
price control. Value expended by
the seller and value received by
the consumer are two restraints
which regulate the price range.
He claimed also that if an
organization is creative it can
"make a profil at a reasonable
price for consumers without
cheapeninlZ the product".
The chain of the Nash
Company is established in seven
different countries. Mr. Nash
felt that every single corporation
has talent and each does a better
job in one specific area in
striving for creativity. He
emphasiZed this by stating that
his company never had a strike
or a prolonged grievance. and
that the individual is able to
identify .....ith the final result of
his work.
The area of advertising was
also dealt with by Mr.Nash.
Because of the particular type of

"move for diversification" was
emphasized because "a

of a seminar of the Young

sponsored by the business
depa·rtment. Three presidents of
prominent companies traced
their climb to the top and
elaborated on particular
problems in their field.
Mr. Lloyd Elston. President of
Peter Paul Inc. first explained
the requirements of the Young
Presidents Organization. Men
and women are eligible to join if
each individual became a
president before the age of 40
and also if the annual sales of the
company exceeds a million
dollars. In Mr. Elston's opinion a
seminar with this or.e:anization
can help college business majors
learn from the experience of
established businessmen.
Mr. Elston then discussed the
importance of working
conditions in his corporation. He
asserted that the main job of a
company president is to create a
proper atmosphere for the
workers and added that "it is a
great satisfaction to see workers

they are more inclined to enjoy
their job.

the excellent rapport which
exists between students and

the "open-door policy" which

persons' calls from Loyola were

complaining that there was

one of the callers was cut off.
The station engineers suggesled
momentarily stopping the show
and checking the cables. The
cables from Loyola and Campion

engineers could find no mal­function

There is roughly a 30 second
time limit to answer the
Question. after which points are
assigned to the dorm of the
caller. Though the categories
have been limited. the D.J.'s
have been liberal in accepting
questions.
"We enjoy this second contest
more because it's fun for us to
play." explains Tom. ··The
'Trivia· contest became tedious
towards the end and it was a
chore to collect 100 questions. ,.
Up until now. the D.J.'s have
used no outside references
except the studio records in
answering questions "because
there is no time to look up an
answer in 30 seconds.·'
The length of the contest has
not yel been determined but
according to Mr. Krazit. it will
"probably last at least until the
interest does."

Question: What was the name
of the dog on the television show.
"Topper'''?
A source from whom the
answer to this Question might be
obtained is Tom Krazit. the
originator of the campus
renowned "Trivia'· contest of
WVOF radio.
"Trivia". initiated in October
1970. encouraged spellbound
student listeners on Thursday
evenings to probe numerous
sources to uncover the answers
to various Questions of miniscule
natures.
'·Originally. the contest
started as a spoof to see if
anyone was IisteninJ! to the
show." comments Tom.
"Almost every D.J. at one time
or another tries a gimmick to
generate interest. I happen to be
a trivia fan. so I chose this
approach."
The sources of the questions
varied from encyclopedias to
jeopardy games. Initially. Tom
had no set game structure in
mind. During the first show.
there was a significant amount
of telephone response. The
stalion decided to continue the
game and give it a form.
Poinls were aSSI~nea lor
correct answers. depending on
the difficulty of the question. and
dormitory scores were
tabulated. Each contest would
last the shorter of one hour and
50 minutes or 100 questions.
·'Our numbers regarding
points and victories were
arbitrary." says Tom. "We felt
that the listeners might lose
interest in the contest so we
decided to make the requirement
for championship three
victories."
In the middle of the contest
Co-education 'Boon to Campus'
atmosphere prevailed before. a
new feelinjl" of vitality was added
to the university."
While some problems in the
transition wert anticipated, few
materialized. The la~est prob­lem
was the diUiculty of finding
ample housing for the women.
\Vbile the possibility of similar
problems for both men and
women neIt year exists, Mrs.
Samway emphasized that
housing is a diUicult factor, due
to the uncertainty of the number
of students who decide to stay on
campus. and predominantly the
number of incoming resident
freshmen and transfer students.

that "there is always room for
improvement," spoke of

the housemaster was an
important one. He noted. "Due
to the comfortable living
conditions. the job used to be
considered a luxury."
But further commented that
with the changing role of the
housemaster in the past few
years, and the rapid change in
dormitory living in general. the
job requires some sacrifices.
He stated that it is a salaried
position. and is not closed to any
single faculty member.
The Rev. George Mahan. S.L
executive assist.ant to the
president and housemaster in
Southeast Hall. is very pleased
with the present system. He
said. '" think the contact is
beneficial in both .....ays. Faculty
members can learn what
students like. what is bothering
them. what their problems are.
On the other hand. the students
can see a teacher outside the
classroom:' He went on.
"Students learn that we are not
frozen fish on top of the hill."
Mutual Respect
Fr. Mahan continued by saying
that a system that required the
housemaster to be a policeman
and enforce the rules would
stine the communication that is
maintained in the present
program.
··More rules for me to enforce
would not help at all. The system
has to be based on mutual
respect and common sense
norms. The Rev. John
Mcintyre. S.J.. a former
housemaster. does not agree.
·'In making the housemasters
part of the administration. the
student services people deny the
faculty member his ability to be
a faculty member.··
He feels that last September.
the first time that Fr. Mcintyre
was aware that the Jesuit
housemasters were considered
administrators. the role of the
teacher was compromised.
"When I no longer could be part
of an educational experience in
the dormitbries. I pulled out"· he
said.
Neutrali:r.ed Faculty
Fr. Mcintyre stated that the
fact that ··no priorities were set.
no R"ood was bein~ done..·
neutralized any j!ood the faculty
might do in the dorms.
Mr. Shimpf commented that
the major problem that the
housemasters encountered
throughout the year was a more
clear definition of their role in
the program.
"Their role has chanRed. it is a
great adjustment period.·· the
dean noted.
Fr. McIntyre said. "An
impossible role has been set and
no means to attain it have been
provided ...
He observed that very little
educational contact took place
between students and
housemasters.
"The only thing he can do is
close the door." the former
housemaster remarked.
In reflecting upon her past
year at Fairfield, Anne-Marie
Samway. assistant dean of
students. described coeducation
as a "boon to the campus· it has
had a tremendously positive
effect on the entire community.··
Joining the staff in January of
1970. Mrs. Samway was
specifically asked to aid in the
transition the university was
about to undergo in September.
Finding both students and
administration extremely
helpful and cooperative, Mrs.
Samway found Fairfield to
possess a "very pleasant,
dynamic campus." Yet with the
arrival of women at Fairfield.
she noted that "behavior

hold the median opinion on the
fulfillment of academic and
social goals in the dormitories.
Mr. Shimpf stated that the
non-resident Jesuit faculty
members who responded to the
first of the three-part study were
quite dissatisfied with the
present residellCf: hall program,
with none feeling that the
atmosphere in the dorms was
conducive to "academic
excellence'" Forty-three per
cent of the housemasters felt
thal this goal was being
addressed properly.
On the other side. the dorm
council members and resident
advisors expressed satisfaction
with the program.

Advisors, councilors, lawyers or character witnesses
for the person on trial are legal as long as they are from
the university community. Students found guilty may be
given a Residence Hall Probation, a disciplinary
warning or an office probation. An appeal of the decision
of the court would be based only on new evidence or
errors in court procedure.
As stated before, the court believes in the personal
liberty. Therefore, if an individual does not recognize
the validity of a Student Court, he may settle matters
directly with the Associate Dean.
The Chief Justice is chosen by the Student
Government President, the decision based mainly oQ the
advice received from the former Chief Justice. The
other 8 justices apply for the job by submitting their
names and having a personal interview with Mike
Gallagher and Steve Dormer. This year 2 freshmen, 1
sophomore. and 1 junior will be needed to fill empty
positions. The names of the 9 court justices will be
published after the new members are appointed.
Mike Gallagher feels the court has promoted student's
share In the management of their university. It may still
be In an embryonic stage but further development is the
responsibility of the students.
Position Clarified
To the Editor:
It would appear that my
motion to dissolve the'
President's Ad Hoc (Tripartite)
Scholarship Committee has been
generally interpreted as a blow
intended to weaken the prospects
for a tripartite form of
governance at the University.
Thus, I feel the following
, comments are in order to explain
my actions to those who are
interested.
The creation of an Ad hoc
(Tripartite) Scholarship
Committee - whether full-blown
in the President's mind, or the
product of his interaction with
students in the Summer Intern
Program - struck many of us as
an act of privileged authority
that itself violated the spirit of
tripartite. Others felt that the
involvement of students in
matters of specific decision­malting
with regards to
admissions and scholarships was
unwise. 1supported both of these
arguments.
My position is that the
spawning of tripartite
committees in advance of the
new Constitution of th~
University will only clutter and
possibly undermine its work.
While there may be
experimentation by the faculty
with student involvement in
academic decision·malting, it
should origiDate from an act of
the faculty. Similarly,
experiments in faculty
involvement in student affairs
should originate from actions of
the student body. The
administration should be the

University Council. means to make decisions that
are truly legitimate.' The
Arthur R. Riel ambiguity in this situation, as it
ProiessorofEnglisb becomes clearer, becomes a
sourCe of raculty and student
strength and administrative
weakness. We recognize that the
administration has sponsored
many or the positive reforms
that are now under way at
Fairfield. But its politics will be
counterproductive, if it refuses
to work within the system ­namely
the student. faculty and
lripartite systems of rnpoaible
deliberation and governance.
\ It is my belief that under the
hew Constitution, each of the
three Boards (Academrc,
Community Life, and
Administrative) will want to
sponsor new tripartite policy­making
committees that will
include such areas, in the
academic area, for example, as
admissions, curriculum, etc.
But, just as we decided in the
Convention to cut out all
specification of committees
from the text of the Constitution,
St. too should we restrain
ourselves from fostering new,
permanent-Iookin~ ad boe
"experiments" that mi~bt
circumscribe the deliberative
power of the new Boards. By the
way, these comments apply just
as readily to the Tripartite
Traffic Court, another
"experiment" that "jumped the
gun" and almost dragged the
Constitutional Convention down
with it.
Now, with regard to the
matter of students and decision­making
in the area of admissions
and scbolarships. I realize that
much of the conversation in
Tuesday's Faculty Meeting took
place in an informational
vacuum. We don't really know
how much involvement by
students was intended by the
President in the actual case-by-case
deliberations on
scholarships. The work had not
yet begun, as I understaDCI it.
Father GallareIli said that be
would refer a few "disguised"
cases to the Ad Hoc Committee
to get their policy advice while
reserving the rip;bt to make the
final decision.
In the Faculty Meeting, I
agreed with Professor Cox that
there was a definite place for
students in the setting of policy
guKielines for admissions and
scholarships (e.g., fi.J:ing a
maximal size for the college,
determining the ratio of men and
women, establishing criteria
(activities, need, academic
performance, etc.) for
scholarships). But I feel that
there is a very clear need for the
faculty to be heavily involved in
the deliberations of specific
cases that involve the so-ealled
"high risk/high gain" students.
The repeated assertion that the
Faculty Committee is "merely
an advisory body," and that the
students should have an equal
right to participate in making
such advice, grated many
faculty sensibilities. Why?
Because the faculty service to
I want to begin by telling you
that I understand from
eIperienC'e tbe enormous
amount of bard wock involved in
what you are trying to do for the
university. At the same time,
can you blame me if I use the
record of the University Council
as an argument against
tripartite and against the goal of
consensus? It seems to me that
tripartite just cannot work. It
seems to me that the term
consensus is just another word
for paralysis.
Making use of wbatever
inlormation was available, I am
forced to conclude that very
little was accomplished this
year.

. Voluntary Fees
- The current financial difficulties and the accounting
battle over student activity fees calls for a reappraisal
of the whole matter, from the way in which the fees are
collected to the manner in which the money is spent. The
sizeable number of students who have not paid is a
significant enough fact in itself to motivate an inquiry.
First of all, should the Adminis tration collect the fee
as part of the total student's bill? Especially should it
collect the fee as it presently does, without
differentiating the item as non-compulsory? Many
students pay the fee unaware of the fact that they really
do nol have to. This amounts to a deception in the
manner of billing.
Freedom in the matter does not mean that students
should not pay the fee. It is, in general, to their
advantage. The many campus activities which the fee
supports are not only desirable but necessary on an
active and progressive campus. Nevertheless, in billing,
unsuspecting students should be advised of their
freedom in the matter. The bill should be presented
separately. An accompanying letter, on student
government letterhead, explaining the fee and indicating
the many activities which the fee supports, would be
helpful and persuasive. Such a procedure would have the
merit of clarifying the students obligations. There are,
undoubtedly, a great variety of reasons why students do
not choose to pay the fee. These include everything from
a personal financial pinch, to objections to certain
activities, to the view that a good number of students do
not really benefit from the distribution of funds. A
frequently heard complaint is that too little is allocated
for general entertainment and for social and educational
activities. The larger part of the money is budgeted for
individual clubs and for the purchase of capital
equipment. Many students mistakenly believe that the
fee pays for the week·end movies in Gonzaga
Auditorium. This general misimpression should be
corrected, The University itself sponsors and funds the
movies,
The movies are, in fact. a University and Prep activity
conducted for the benefit of all.
The record of the Student Government in sponsoring
general entertainment, social and educational activities
while fairly good, has not been entirely encouraging.
Students would be more enthusiastic in paying the fee by
a broader program of such activities. Students should
pay the fee not by mandatory obligation, nor necessarily
by sanction, but because they see and enjoy the benefits
they receive from it.
Notices will soon appear on campus inlormm~
students that four justices are needed to serve on
Student Court. Anyone interested may submit his name.
We wonder what type of response this request will draw
since many people are oblivious to the court's existence
and others seem vague in knowledge of the court's
procedures. On questioning Student Government
President Steve Dormer, Chief Justice Mike Gallagher,
and former Chief Justice Tom Sweeney, we were
assured that Student Court is not a secret organization.
They went on to explain that the court has existed for a
while but in name only. An organized structured policy
was formed only last year, based on tripartite ideas.
Despite some initial trouble, Student Court began to
develop as a disciplinary segment of the university. Its
purpose is to give students the right to be judged by their
peers and to increase student involvement in seU­governing.
The court. seeks to preserve students basic
personal liberties.
If a student wishes to bring charges against another
person for violation of a conduct code, he must file a
complaint form with the Office of Associate Dean, Mr.
Krell, the chairman of the University Review Board,
Paul Davis and the Chief Justice of Student Court, Mike
Gallagher who decide if the case should go to the student
Court of the University Review Board. The Review
Board usually hears cases that involve disciplinary
probation, suspension or dismissal. It is composed of
three faculty members, three students and the Associate
Dean as an ex officio member.
The Student Court bandies cases which are decided to
be of a less serious nature. It is composed of 9 student
justices, who hear cases and decide the verdict.
Sanctions are given but the court consideres itself
remedial rather than punitive. Anyone having to appear
before court is notified a few days preceding the trial,'
It meets approximately every two weeks, the time and
place are communicated in the 'form of written notices
to students, who are to appear. Failure to appear in
court results In a guilty verdict. More than 100 cases
have been heard thus far. The cases represented
violation of parietal's, illegal use of fire equipment.,
illegal entry and destruction of 2coperty, Matters
dealing with constitutional issues brought by Vlncent'
DeAngelo are also considered. J

statement of purpose:
It is our firm belief that the ultimate legal authority of this
University as stated in the charter of Fairfield University should
be a shared concern of both individuals external to this
community and interested parties within the universitv
community. The sole manner of competently and completely
inculcatin,e: this philosophy is the inclusion of student. faculty and
alumni on the present Board of Trustees.

best interest of the University that we support the followin~:

In regard to possible support
from the alumni. it was reported
that Paul Greeley had been
contacted and that the AIumni
Association bad been given one
representative and that they
would work "through proper
channels" to attain the other
position. which it would have
received under the 6·6·2
apportionment proposed last
year.
Robert Sheridan. speaking
from the audience. encouraged
the "trustees" to work through

president rather than an
"administrator under the wing
of Mcinnes."
Under questioning about their
eleetion and accountability. the

basic objective was to ~ain

themselves. but for those student
representatives to follow. At

from the Student Government
and indirectly from the students,

Frazer is the fourth
consecutive Fairfield player to
win the award with Billy Jones
(67-611), Jim Brown (68-69) and
Frank Magaletta (~70) being
the previous winners.
The 6'6 Stag captain enjoyed a
fine senior season as he
averaged 13 points and 15.7
rebounds per game while being
named to one of the ECAC's
Weekl'y teams. Frazer finished
second in New England and ninth
nationally in rebounding.

Pleaty of Penalties
In a ji!ame riddled with
penalties and disputes. the
Purple Knights jumped off to a
quick lead at 1: 42 in the first
period when Steve Lovely
tallied. The Stags had a man
advantage at the time but were
unable to break throUgh Ute UB
defense to score.
UB looked as though they were
breaking down as Jean Guy La
Flamme let go with a slapshot
from the blue line at 10:22 which
went under the legs of Knight
goalie Randy Olen. Within 15
seconds. Knight defenseman
Rick Trimble put the puck in for
the Stags in an attempt to clear
the net. The goal was credited to
Gerry Michaud.
In the second period. a UB Roal
was disallowed because Dan
Arcobello used his hand to direct
the puck into the goal. However.
Arcobello did tally at 10:06 to tie
up Ute match.
The Knights moved into a lead
at 10:44 in the third period with a
goal by Craig Johnson.
Fairfield goalie Ed Plama was
pulled from the net with only a
few minutes left in the game in
an attempt to tie the score.
However. in spite of the
attempts by Jay Flynn to guard
the Stag net. the Knights. led by
Joe Sereika scored in the last 20
seconds of the game.
Palma was credited with 35
saves. while the Stags took 19
shots on the Knight goal.

marji!in to 8-3 at half-time.
Early in the second -ha-U the
Ruggers were again penalized
and Rutgers made the kick to
give them an 11-3 lead.
For the remainder of the half
action swayed over the length of
the field. with neither team
having an advantage in the
action.
Rutgers was called for a
penalty on their 25 yard line with
five minutes left in the gamp..
and John O'Neill made the kick.
but that was the last score of the
game as the Red Rug~ers were
unable to threaten the Rutji!ers
goal in the last moments of the
game.
In the game the Fairfield
scrum controlled most line-outs
and set scrums. but the RutRers
pack dominated the loose rucks
and stopped the Ruggers
backfield moves.
The Knights backfield was
unable to generate a single
movement in the entire game.
but their unusual flat line was
another factor in stopping the
Fairfield backs.

on scrum movements and
penalty kicks.

Ruggers Home Sat.
After starting its season on a
disappointing note. the Fairfield
Rugby Club will play its first
home match of the season when
they tanji!le with Villanova
Saturday in three matches on
Hans Grauert Field.
Last Saturday the "A" team
dropped an 11-6 decision to
Rutgers. following the "B"
teams 11-0 shutout of the Knij1hts
second side.
Yesterday the Club travelled
to Central Park in New York to
meet Princeton in a recently
scheduled match.
Fairfield Outplayed
In the "A" game against
Rutl!ers. Fairfield was
consistently outhusUed and
outhit by a squad that looked
completely different from the
one Fairfield beat 14-0 last fall.
Only four of RutRers "A"
players on Saturday were on the
Knights first team last fall. The
remainder were either up from
the second team or football
players.
For the first twenty minutes of
the game Rutgers put
tremendous pressure on the Red
Ruggers. who were missing on
their passes and had several
penalties called against them.
The Knights scored when a
penalty was called inside the
Fairfield five yard line after ten
minutes of play. Rutgers made
the conversion. giving them a 5-0
lead.
After the ensuing kick-off
Rutgers again moved downfield.
as they stopped Fairfield's
running attack. The New
Brunswick team played a very
flat line in the backfield and
their scrum pursued the ball and
controlled most of the loose
serums.
At the twenty minute mark in
the hair the Knights scored again
as they made a penalty kick for
an 8~)Jead.
Fairfield then began to
advance. primarily on fly kicks
by center Chris Galvin and wing
Dennis Barry.
Play stayed outside the two
teams' 25 yard lines until the
waning moments of the half.
when Galvin bounced a kick out
of bounds at the Rutgers 15 yard
line.

Leading the group is Bob
Trojanowski who had a

effort vs. St. John's.
Trojanowski is a Notre Dame of

chalked up a 13-1 record in his
senior year.
Gene Radomski. Pat Laughna

Replacement for Wargo
Cook's biggest dilemma this
spring will be to replace the
departed Ed Wargo. a .338 hitter.
and leader of the infield at his
shortstop position. Wargo signed
a contract with the Cincinnati
Reds last spring.
Cook and his assistant Pete
DiOrio have spent a good part of
the early season experimenting
with many combinations to
make up for the absence of
War~o.
The missing link could be
provided by freshman Dave
Della Volpe whom Coach Cook
rates very highly. If Della Volpe
can fill in the all-important
keystone slot. it will enable Cook
to have much more depth at the
other infield and outfield
positions.

extensively with the infielders.

Palma Shuts Out Iona 3-0
As Skaters Make Title Bid
Because of his effectiveness as
a control artist Gabriele might
well be delegated as the Stags'
long reliefman according to
Cook.
Other returning veteran
hurlers are juniors Pete BeRley
and Jim McGintee and
sophomore Mike Yates.
Begley didn't see much action
last season because of his
unpredictability and wildness.
but his coach asserts that the
potential is there and that
"we're hoping he comes into his
own this yea!;." Last fall Be~ley
racked up an impressive victory
over a good hitting Long Island
University team. 3-2.
Yates. who recorded the
lowest E.R.A. last spring (2.41)
to go with his 2-1 record. will be
used exclusively as a reliever.
He enjoyed a remarkable fall
season when he whiffed 18
batters in 13 innings.
Cook describes his ace reliever
as "sneaky fast with a good
curve and is able to keep the ball
low. He is also able to field his
position like a polished
infielder. "
McGintee Key Man
The key to a successful
campaign could depend on the
arm of junior Jim McGintee.
McGintee suffered severe sore
arm trouble en route to a 3-2
record last spring and the
ailment popped up again in the
fall. So far this spring. however.
his ann has been fine and Cook
has high hopes that McGintee
might develop into the Stags' big
stopper.

Diamondmen Aim for Big Year
Open April 1 vs. Stonehill Away
Aiming to better last year's
record-setting season. Coach
Don Cook's baseball nine eagerly
and optimistically awaits its
season's opener on April 1 at'
Stonehill College. Following the
Stonehill clash the Stags play one
more game on Northern turf.
April 3 vs. Sacred Heart. before
embarking on their seven game
Southern trip.
Last year the Stags put
together a torrid finish in which
they captured eiRht of their last
ten games to rack up one of the
top marks in New England and
Fairfield's finest season ever at
13-9.
Cook Makes Winner
The success of the
diamondmen against one of the
most challenging schedules in
collegiate circles points up the
remarkable work of Cook. under
whose guidance the baseball
program has accomplished a
virtual turnabout in the past five
years. The Fairfield grad
assumed control of the least
successful sport on campus and
transformed a bleak losing
tradition into what has been the
most prosperous varsity sport at
FairfeilCl over the past two
years.
Cook utilized this past fall
season to trim the roster after
getting a long look at the new
freshman prospects. At the
outset of spring workouts he had
narrowed the cast to 21
candidates.
The outlook for the coming
season has to be optimistic with
what Cook terms. "Fairfield's
best team ever."
Quite possibly Fairfield has
never had a better team. but it
also has never had a schedule
tougher than this one. Dotting
the 25 game slate is every
fonnidable baseball school in the
New England and New York
areas.
Vets aDd Rookies
This year's squad is split down
the middle with numerous
veterans, five seniors among
them, and many untried
rookie;s," evidenced by the nine'
freshmen competing for jobs.
Pitcbing is the definite
stronghold as Cook has an
abunrtance of talented throwers
he can rely on. It's difficult to
pinpoint the ace of the staff but
