Under late questionning the
president stated that while he
formerl.\' supported the &-&-2

student proposals last spring he
did not consider the inclusion of
local students in the best
interests or the University at this
time However he did see the
possibility for a recent graduate
or a student from another
campus filling the role.
The prestdenfs objectIOn to
the inclusion of campus
delegates stems from his
preference for an open.

trustees as opposed to the
representative form of
government.

governance committee to act on
this and send it direclly to

The old matter of the court
system to support the
constitution. which was
discussed last month with no
result. was solved .....ith a
proposal made by Dennis
Gallagher. The system would
guarantee thal the senate would
establish three divisions of
appeal.
Three Divisions Formed
According to the approved
plan. the senate would establish
with at least a two-thirds vote
(and a two-thirds vote of the
Community Life Board) a court
to handle disciplinary cases and
other complaints pertaininR to
community life.
An academic division would be
formed .....'ith again two-thirds of
the senate and academic board
approving of the membership
and procedures This court
would handle complaints
concerning academic matters
such as chealing.
A separate court to imerpret
the constitution would also be
formed with three members
from each seclor taking part.
The senate would establish these
as early as possible. once it
begins to function.

Movie, 'High School'
committee reports and other
matters were handled on an
informal basis.
Rules Accepted
When Mr. Sheridan arrived. he
decided that the only rules that
could be accepted were those
with the amendment included.
and that the rules could not be
changed by the convention.
Dennis Gallagher questioned
the logic of this. stating that the
Council set the meeting times
and places of the convention. and
these could in fact be altered by
the group.
Sr. Clare Fitzgerald stated
that it made little sense for the
Council to be so authoritative on
the little matter of house rules
without having access to the
substantial matter of the
document.
Mr. Paul Davis observed that
the Council has been under
atlack from many quarters
lately. and that its integrity was
beinfi! diminished. He felt that
the Council did have the power to
set the rules of the convention.
and advocated the observation of
the proxy restriction until the
matter could be reconsidered by
the Council. Dr. George Baehr
and Fr. Bernard Scully agreed.
It was pointed out that the
same matter was broufi!ht before
the Reneral convention at the
last session and soundly
defeated.
Special Meeting Called
Since each member of the
University Council is
automatically a member of the
convention a special session of
the Council was called to discuss
the issue. After ten minutes of
deliberation. the Council stood
rirm on its decision. and the
convention proceeded.
Neilher the re· ..... rite
committee nor the bill of ri,l!:hlS
committee. both fonned at the
last session. had substantial
.....ork to report. so the convention
again beRan to discuss each
section of the rough draft.
Fr. Scully asked that a
discussion of the seating of two
student trustees on the
convention be placed on the
agenda. He felt that their
involvement in the writing of lJle
document was inconsistent with
the Trustees' policy as stated in
the statement of university
governance.
The chair ruled the question
out of order. Fr. Scully appealed
the decision of the chair. The
appeal failed.

lyrics In these works are

Dylan Admir~r
Lightfoot's admiration and
respecl for Bob Dylan shows
through in the topical-protest
sonJts that he writes. The title
song on his latest album tuntil it
was switched to "If You Could
Read My Mind" arter that song's
successI was "Sit Down Young
Stranger" which deals with the
problems of youth in today's
world. At his live appearances.
Lightfoot usually dedicates the
song to all the American drart
resisters in Cenada. Probably
his most famous topical song is
"Black Day in July" on the Did
Sbe MeniiOR My Nam~. It deals
with the racial riots in Detroit
and manages to make a strong
statement without being overly
didactic.
The songs which seem to come
easiest for Lightfoot are the ones
which he writes about the road.
He was an ecologist before it
was fashionable. singing about
the virtues of the Canadian
countryside. Certainly one of his
most finely crafted works is the
"Canadian Railroad Trilogy."
dealing with the building of the
trans-continental railroad across
Canada.
Because he is able to write
such excellent songs on such a
·wide range of topics. Lightfoot
has always been one of my
favorites. For anyone interested
in getling acquainted with
Lightfoot's music I would
recommend his latest album If

successful program where the
proceeds will be used for
Homecoming Weekend of next
year.
Much is beinK made lately of
the new "quiet" turn that rock
music is taking. The
psychedelics of the 60's are
quickly being replaced by the
troubadors of the 70·s. Most of
the focus or the sort rock in the
media has been on new artists.
like James Taylor and Elton
John. In addition to these new
composers, however. there is
also large group of old
troubadors who have been swept
to f3me recently. Most
noteworthy among these people
is Gordon Lightfoot. a Canadian
composer·performer who has
been performinJt since 1965. but
has just recently become famous
when his sinKle "If You Could

Four-DaySpringWeekend Ahead;
Concert Group Still Not Known
Long Island Sound are on the
agenda for Saturday. Sunday's
activities have not been finalized
except for the cake·flying
contest and a possible drinking
contest.
B.Y.0.8. Alfairs
In general. all activities
planned will be B.Y.O.B. except
for the concert. where drinking
will be prohibited.
The DoJtwood Committee is
now in the process of taking
strong precautions to avoid any
possible disturbances. The name
of the group which will play for
the concert will be disclosed
"sometime during the end of
March" according to Mr.
Berardino.
Last year part of a spring
disturbance was due to the
cancellation of the Doors concert
for Dogwood. Mr. Berardino
emphasized that after this. other
plans and ideas for the weekend
folded "because everyone was
jun too disgusted". By not
revealing this year's concert
group. the committee hopes to
"quiet things do.....n ir plans don't
work out.··
Housing Problems
The question of housing
accommodations for guests is
another important problem that
has not been decided. Members
have discussed the idea of using
one entire floor of a dorm for
guests. This is highly
improbable. declared one
member. because at least hal(
the students on that particular
floor would have to agree,
Other possibilities include the
use of the third floor of Julie Hall
and also various motels in the
vicinity.
The budget of the .....hole
program is also under careful
consideration. In Mr.
Berardino's opinion. package
deals are ideal because each

Dual Standard
John G. Leddy ·71
To the Editor:
Last week's editorial
espousing retention of voluntary
payment of the activities fee
might be considered idealistic
were it not so transparently
hypocritical. Idealism theorizes
that full !lovernment services
would result in universal
payment: - reality militates
against the possibility of
universal satisfaction.
And yet. three-fourlhs of the
students have paid the fee and
see it distributed by their elected
representatives. 25 percent of
the activities fee isn't paid. so
government sponsored
"entertainment and educational
activities" suffer at least
proportionately. if not more. for
they are second to club
allocations.
Your suggestion is ludicrous:
to withhold payment pending
sen'ice is not unlike withholding
medicine pending cure.
The hypocracy lies in your
dual standards. Ask Fr. Mcinnes
if tuition increases might not
also be made voluntary. Surely
the increased quality of
Fairfield's education and dorm
maintenance have been 'seen
and enjo.ved· b.\' all.

AAUP Record
To the Editor:
In a recent session of the
Constitutional Com'ention (as
reported in Tbe University
Voice, Feb. 251 the local chapter
of the AAUP came under fire as
bein~ an obstacle to tri-partite.
At the chapter meetinjo! of March
3 I was commissioned by the
membership to sel the record
straight.
In fact. the chapter has from
the beginning reacted favorably
to the concept of tri-partite
university governance. Last
October. for example. the
chapter voted over.......helmingly to
endorse the sending of eight new
faculty representatives to the
Convention aton,lo! with the hope
that their efforts mi,lo!ht prove
successful. This endorsement
was communicated by myself to
the general facully at their
meeting of October 20.

right to expect from them. They
have fulfilled their promise.
In conclusion. we address
ourselves to the current power
clique. The days are rapidly
disappearing when you could
rely upon the ignorance and
pliability of the students to
support any and all of your
schemes. From no..... on. you will
be watched. and watched
carefully. If you have any
charJ(es to make. you will have
to document them. If you have
any programs of action. you will
have to prove the necessity of
their implementation. And if you

damn sure that. \'ou have all the

'Forum'
To the Editor:
The following statement
represents the opinions of the
membership of the Fairfield
University Young Republicans
Club.
On March 4. a so--ealled
"community forum" was held in
Gonzaga Auditorium. The
purpose of this meeting was to
decide what courses of action
should be taken concerning the
Board of Trustees' "Statement
on University Governance."
Apparently. the organizers of the
forum had already decided that
some action had to be taken.
Aher several speakers had
voic«l their opinion on the
matter. the situation still
seemed confused. At this point.
. Mr. Dormer took it upon himself
to inform the community as 10
the "proper" course of action.
With no vote having been taken
on any proposal. those present
were dismissed. Thus having
legitimatized their actions. the
organizers proceeded about their
business which resulted in three
speciric measures. Let us
examine each of these.
First. a letter and phone
campaign was initiated against
individual trustees in order to
express dissatisfaction over
their refusal to expand and their
decision to leave the president as
the onlv link between them and
the university communit~·. The
apparent intent of such an
enterprise was to make up in
quantity of paper the lack of
quality of thinking on this
matter. We regard this move as
a blatant insult to the
intelligence of all Fairfield
students Are we .....ho demand so
much authoritv and
responsibility not even capable
of formulating our own thou!lhts
in a personalleUer? Must we all
stamp our X's on a
mimeographed statement
drafted b~' the currenl student
power clique?
Secondly. our leaders have
··elected·· six representatives to
the Board of Trustees on their
own To imagme that the Board
will actuallv be C1)wed into
acceptinj;! . these student
intruders is ridiculous_ to sav the
least. These "jl:reen trustees"
were ille~ally elected. and any
attempt b.v them to sit in at the
board meeting will be seen by
the trustees as another example
of the students' inability to be
trusted with more power. The
fact is that some of our
"leaders" are actuall~' hoping 10
force a confrontation which they
can use as a political cast for
further molding student opinion.
The third action. that of
naming the buildings. is perhaps
the most ludicrous of all. We can
christen the buildings with any
names we desire. but this would
only result in labeling ourselves
an infantile. We speak of
"community" and "cooperation".
and yet we now
seem to be purposely creating
our own fantasv world .....herein
we make all the decisions •. all
other sectors be damned.
In our opinion. the important
.....ork which is being carried on
by the Constitutionat Convention
must not be jeopardized by the
current crisis. We have much to
gain in the acceptance of
tripartite governance. Great
strides can be made in academic
reform. community life. and
even student power. The board
has shown approval of the
convention·s progress and will
probably nol interfere in the
implementation of its proposals.
Why do we endanger this
progress by indulging ourselves
in such a ridiculous parlor
game? Let the board divorce
itself from t!te inner workings of
the University. We know more
about these matters anyhow. At
this time. we should be seeking
closer ties with the faculty.
Instead. our leaders have
berated them for failing to live
up to the Cox Amendment. Many
faculty members argued for an
expanded board o\llr the
The plans for a new resident hall are to bc finalized in
May. This raises (wo questions. Once. can the university
afford another resident hall".' Two. what type of resident
hall should be constructed'.'
The niversity can financially afford a new resident
hall. The financial investment is a sound one. Over a
number of years the resident hall Will payoff for itself.
But can the university afford it in the context of
meeting student needs? Next year there will be
approximately 1340 students in residence. with a total
projection of approximately 1600 students in residence.
Should the University expand its enrollment of resident
students without attempting to meet the needs of the
students.
Presently. we do not have adequate athletic facilities.
The gym is shared by the Prep and the University. One
of the lesser known functions of the basketball coach is
that of intramural director. Perhaps a more efficient.
effective and imaginative job can be done in this area.
For those students who do not desire to perform in an
athletic way. lhere currently exists very little available
space for their creative endeavors. The space available
iT' 'Ie Campus Center and in Northwest Ground Lounge
i~ ~nstantly booked. The dining room in the Campus
CUlter seats approximat~ly 650. That situation is
overloaded already. The increase to 1340 students
obviously will not be a mitigating factor. We feel that the
university cannot "afford" to construct another resident
hall without first attempting to meet the needs of the
students.
If a decision is reached to construct a new resident
hall, what type should be built'! In deciding the type of
Resident Hall we feel the students' opinion should be
actively solicited. For they will be residing within this
building.
Another idea to be considered is whether or not
housing is needed for other sectors of the University.
Perhaps any new resident halls should be constructed
flexible enough to include low cost housing for married
students and members of the faculty.
One sector of our community that we seem to forget
completely are the graduate students in both the
Graduate Schools of Education and Communication. Do
we or should we consider their needs in relation to the,
housing situation?
The continuing increase in thefts and growing
disrespect for private property has been viewed with
concern by nearly all members of the campus
community. Unfortunately conditions have reached such
a regrettable state with regard to vandalism in the
Chapel that the Chaplain has announced intentions of
locking the doors when the church is not in use.
After a number of articles ranging from candles to
vestments were pilfered, precautions were taken to lock
everything that waso·t tied down in new constructed
supply rooms. so that at least the body of the Chapel
could remain open. Now. in the latest tucn of events.
vandals have taken the key to the storage area
necessitating the closing of the entire Chapel.
It is truly a deplorable state when one must regulate
his religious worship to specified periods or make
special arrangements to visit the Chapel. We feel that
there must be some alternative that can be implemented
to keep the building open.
How It Happens
Many times we have heard the question. ··Who writes
the.Voice editorials·:·'
Most simply stated the answer IS the editorial board.
Each week the board meets to discuss the editorials for
the following week. After topics are orrered by the
members. the number of issues are narrowed to two or
three through consensus I opinion I. These topics are
conSidered individually with members presenting facts
and opinion that lend to the final position. The stand on a
particular question must be approved by two-thirds of
the board. The editorial is then turned over to the writer
who submits the editorial at a Friday luncheon session.
.\fter a fmal review. the edtoriai is approved for
publlcation in the follow 109 Thursday's Voice.
As to the malleI' of the actual writing of an editorial.
there are pairs of writers who prepare material
generally every third week. The writer's aim is to
accurately reflect the board's opinion and reasoning on a
given topic. regardless of his or her particular stand on
an issue.
The board also wishes to re-affirm its position that it is
most willing to hear requests from members of the
community <Jbout matters of general interest to them.
Sevcral people have alrcady come to board mectings to
acquaint the members w.ith particular conditions and
Issues that they felt wcre worthy of editorial comment.

Just might put it all together but
the schedule is tough and the
experience of vets such as
Castrignano and Finch down the
stretch could be a key factor.
This year's club is a dichotomy
of veterans and young
underclassmen but the
distinction stops there as
Castrignano insists, "Once we're
out on that field we're playing
together; we've got some great
young players and they can belp
us out tremendously with their
skill and perhaps. the vets can
help them with their
experience...
Mention of the schedule brings
much the same reaction from
coaches and players alike. a
smile. and '"it's tough." If the
Stags are to make any kind of
serious bid for an unprecedented
NCAA bid they'll have to start
off right from where they left off
last season when they won eight
out of their last ten games. Finch
summarized his feelings toward
the challenge. "'Ifs rough and
we'll have to play some super
ball to overcome this rugged
competition. We'll have to be
even hungrier than we were last
year when we finished so
strong."

It also specifies rules
regarding eligibility. out-ofseason

basis of demonstrated financial

This conference is the

among Amherst, Bowdoin.
Williams and Wesleyan which
has worked successfully since
1955.
These schools and others are
learning to put athletics in its
proper perspective perhaps
losing much in alumni donations
but most important maintaining
their respectability.
The athletic committee is
currently working on their
proposals: it would be profitable
if Fairfield continues .to
ma.intain their traditional
academic and athletic reputation
of integrity. If such a body as the
athletic committee fails to steer
the program in this direction the
professionalism syndrome could
be an unwanted destiny.
With oniy one week to go
before their season opener,
baseball co<aptains Tom Finch
and Bob Castrignano stand as
star witnesses to the fact that
Fairfield baseball has been and
is still on tbe upswing.
Both co-eaptains have been
standout peTfonners in their two
years of varsity ball with Finch
sporting the more impressive
statistics. The Stags' catcher
batted .350 in his sophomore year
and topped that effort with a .359
clip last year. He is probably the
toughest man to get out in the
lineup, evideoced by the fact that
he only struck out four times in
64 at bats last season, three
times in one game.

The combination of his bat. a
strong arm and experieoce
behind the plate makes Finch
invaluable to the Stags. "Tom's
experience back there will be
most valuable to us in handling
our young pitching staff," said
Castrignano.
Castrignano's value to the
team is in his versatility. The

that college' athletics should be
good and healthy on all varsity
levels.
Fairfield Similar
This situation could be
paralleled to Fairfield's athletic
program where there are
eighteen scholarships handed out
annually with ]6 going to
basketball, two to baseball and
one to track. The result of course
has been a big time basketball
program with all other varsity
sports being left in the dusl.
Despite this baseball and soccer
have been rallying in recent
years.
The St. Anselm's 1l0Ve was
also precipitated by a reevaluation
of lhe fairness of
granting athletic scholarships.
They reasoned that since all
SCholarships are granted
aC(:ording need then it is unfair
to give ten free rides to say only
twelve people. By abolishing
athletic scholarships those

The final motivating factor
behind Anselm's action was a
desire to get rid of any
professionalism tag their
athletics may have been dubbed
with.

according to sports information
director Paul Dowd. was
surprisingly one of compliance.

By BOB BLAIR
The philosophy of college
athletics is an area wh)ch is
undergoing some severe
alterations and examination at
schools throughout the nation but
most notably right here in the
New England - New York area.
Il appears that this movement is
an atlempt to shed the
professionalism syndrome which
college sports have fallen into
within the last decade.
The practice of ruthless
recruiting policies by college
coaches sometimes reaching the
point of paying an athlete by
bestowing upon him various
"gifts" has reached ludicrous
proportions, and various colleges
in the area are working to wipe
out such activity.
This trend of soul searching is
also being felt on this campus as
the athletic committee has
diligently been working of late to
fonnulate an overall proposal to
Dean William Schimpf
concerning athletic needs and
philosophy on campus.
ActioD OD Otller Campuses
However. on other campuses
action has taken a more concrt:te
form. Last month St. Anselm's
College in New Hampshire
dropped all athletic scholarships
in a rather shocking move to
those not close to the situation.
This past Saturday witnessed
the formation of New England
Small College Athletic
Conference. an association of 11
colleges in New England and
New York. The most interesting
tenet of this unusual pact is lhat
there will be no conference
champion or interconference
ranking determined in any sport.
The St. Anselm's action was
taken for a number of reasons
but chieny because of the dire
financial condition of the school.
Beyond this however. a number
of relevant points concerning
athletic philosophy were taken
into consideration by the school's
president and athletic
committee.
The athletic department had
only ten scholarships to give out
and all of these were going to the
basketball program. The
committee found this imbalance
among varsity sports to be
contradictory to their philosophy
