with ten proxies. Dr. Lisa
Perkins and Mr. Harry Fishman
arrived with all the faculty
votes. and Terry Horan and Greg
Keilly were holding the votes of
the student delegation.
According to Mr. Horan, "The
five of us had a lil:reat time."
Work-Bop
With more delegates arriving
about noon, the work slowed
considerably.
The most crucial vote of the
afternoon session was a motion
proposed by Dennis Gallagher to
make senate seats salaried
positions.
Several faculty members
concurred on the idea. after they
were assured that the move
would have no effect on faculty
salaries.
Darrell Rvan. director of
university reiations, said that
the university could pay students
only if the students payed the
university.
New Delegate?
Never having heard from him
before, several delegates
questioned Mr. Ryan's status on
the convention. Dr. Barone
assured the convention that Mr.
Ryan was a legitimate member.
Mr. Ryan promised to speak
more often.
Freshman commuter Vincent
DeAngelo, stated, "What we
have to do here is to follow my
suggestion." His plan called for
representation on the Senate for
tbe maids, janitors, and security
guards.
Or. Barone pointed that one
seat could be granted to the
Golden Agers Club to encompass
these factions.
Although little hope remains
for approval of the final
document before the swnmer
session, Mr. Harry Fishman
summed up the reeling of the
session wben he said, "I see the
issue as two major components
with seventeen subdivisions
which I will elaborate." He
continued by stating that the
convention was a complex
matter.

features from this year's Free
Press. the "Doctor's Bag."
"This was one of the more
practical portions of our paper,"
McAuliffe noted. ''It was well
worth the cost since. according
to Dr. Santella. the information
it afforded Fairfield co-eds has
brought about an appreciable
decline in reported campus
pregnancies.
Pica lIIstnClioa
The likeable mentor revealed
that he will be rejoined in Sept.
by his long time associate. Bob
Burgess. who is coming out of
retirement from his five acre
farm along with his
"understanding woman" to
assume the post of managing
editor. Contacted last week
about his unexpected return to
Fairfield and journalism.
Burgess emJilasized that he
knew that ··those political
influences would corrupt the
newspaper." He was admittedly
pleased and excited about
returning to "purge" the staff.
Both editors are looking
forward to recruiting a new crop
of eager freshmen which they
will gladly indoctrinate into the
proper perspectives of campus
life. McAuliffe mentioned that
he. personally. is eagerly

the cub reporters about "picas

Editor McAuliffe closed the

FOllowing a request from the
press to briefly list a few of the
changes and resolutions of the
last few meetings. Mr. Regan
gasped "Oh no. 1 couldn't do
that. The council has ruled that
to give out any such information
before the recording secretary
gets a chance to put it in words is
a '00-00'.
The ruling according to Mr.
Regan. followed queries from a
raging faculty as to why the
minutes were being made
available to the press before
they were given to the faculty
members in the mail. The notice
from the faculty stated: "Since
we. the faculty. have a right to
attend these meetings. and not
the press. we have a right to
know what went on when we
weren't there. This will then give
the faculty a chance to explain
themselves as to what they did at
the meeting which they didn't
attend."
During a press conference,
held last week in the journal's
independent offices in the
campus Center. the new editor
outlined his plans for the Free press. Boones Farm Apple Wine
was served to all attendees.
Editor McAuliffe plans to
continue to rely mainly on the
same basic principles of
journalism upon which the
independently organized journal
has relied since its Inception this
past September. "I think it's our
sophisticated vertical-style
layout which has brought us so
far:' he said. "We try to keep
the reader's attention by
jumping our stories to various
pages, without specifying which
one. This technique really keeps
'em guessing."
He explained that he picked up
most of his layout skills while
employed on a part·time basis at
Remar Printing Co. this year.
The Bridgeport concern prints
The Free Press.
"Action" Photos
Listed as the- paper's second
most valuable asset were its
broad use of "action"
photographs. "We were proudest
of our pre-election issue in which
our roving polaroid captured
most of the candidates for
Student Government president in
a variety of candid poses." He
added that next year they hope to
be able to get the finalists. too.
Sports photos in the Free
Press have been especially
popular this year, Receiving
special mention was the weekly
photo used of the Stag's
successful hockey team. Next
year. according to McAuliffe.
they'lI probably get another
hockey picture.
The Free Press' financial woes
are also slated for solution under
the new boss. McAuliffe
explained that this year's
financial demise was mainly due
to the motel bills and long
distance charges tacked into the
budget during the early months
of this year. "We learn from our
mistakes." he said.
Concerning the controversial
abortion ads run by the Free
Press this year. Mr. McAuliffe.
who cast the deciding vote in this
year's staff decision to
discontinue the ads. explained
that it was not out of any fear
that decided to stop. but rather
to protect the Remar Printing
Company who the State also
threatened.

Stag.
The Rev. Richard Costello. S.J ..

Academic Council. various
changes in matters of the

areas of University life will

he would not propose it until the

viewpoint that. "if the Trustees

general faculty meeting of the
year to discuss the election of six
representatives to the
Constitutional Convention to

Commenting upon the events

charges.

Always the highlight of the

the Glee Club's late director.
Three soloists will be featured
in thebighly diversified program

piano solo of George Gershwin's

More popular selections will
also be heard with the club's
interpretations of "Raindrops
Keep Filing on My Head" and
"Windy", "The Pasture" will
lend a more somber note to the
evening.
Closing the concert will be the
"Testament of Freedom", last
done by the Glee Club three

Two speeial groups,
Campus Minstrels and
Rolle agreed with the two new
officers lhat some changes had
come about to improve the
environment for lhe Black
student at Fairfield. but insisted
,th•.at there was still a long way to "We've made a large attempt
to relate to the other students on
a social basis through a number
of activities which have just not
been well received," he said.
He also explained that the lack

club members during lhe first
couple of years to the great
turnover among Black students
who came and left Fairfield.
meel at least "half way" to
begin to find solutions for many
of the problems which both
share.
He attributes at least part of
the problem bet.....een lhe two
groups to a "sub-conscious
racism" existent among many
White students. "Without even
realizing it many White students
stereotype Ihe Blacks and, thus,
fail to realize that we are all
individuals with a variety of
characteristics. "
If this is overcome, lhe
chairman believes that the Black
students can be of great aid in
helping the community to both
indentify and solve its problems.
Vice chairman. Sharon
Christopher also offered
comment on the current
relationship between the Black
and Whjte students on campus,
"I really feel the need for all of
us to get together," she said.
"but other than a few White
students who regularly try to
improve relations, most just
don't seem to care:' She pointed
to several functions sponsored
by the society this year as proof
of her statement. Very few
White students showed up al
either of two mixers or lhe Miles
Davis Concert,
Sharon too expressed a dislike
for the tendency to stereotype
Black students, "Everybody
talks about the way we all sit
together in lhe cafeteria but they
don't realize that we're still a
group of individuals who are
merely sitting with our close
friends. just as they do. ,.
Both she and Glenn pointed out
that it is not unusual for some
faculty members to say that they
"don't know how to handle a
Black student." completely
unaware that they have
individual problems just like any
olher student here.
They see some progress being

FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY, FAIRFIELD, CONNECTICUT
THE
Afro-Am Looks for Involvement
Of Members Under New Leader
A~ril 1, 1971
AFRO-AM OFFICERS _ These recently elected officers of the Fairfield Afro-Am Society plan to
involve the group more actively in campus politics. From left to right they are: Malcom Jackson
Sharon Christopher,. Glenn Kenny, president. Coleman Harbor
By Timothy Grace
Now in their third year. the
Afro-American Society has
chosen a new slate of officers
.....ho look cautiously toward an
increased involvement in the
university community for their
membership, during the next
year.
Chosen to head the club, last
week. were Glenn Kenney '73,
chairman: Sharon Christopher
'74. vice chairman: Malcom
Jackson. treasurer: and
Coleman Harbor '73, sergeant at
arms.
Kenney. \\'ho replaces retiring
chairman, Howard Rolle "12,
discussed the Afro-Am's new
goals and objectives during an
interview last week.
The new chairman explained
that in his campaign he
emphasized increased
involvement for society
members in campus politics.
Presently the 40 member clUJ
has only one representative in
the Student Legislature, but
Kenney has his eye on one of the
positions on Student Government
president's Steve Dormer's
executive board.
"We want to make people on
campus aware that there is a
strong Black constituency in this
community," he added. Along
with this objective, however, is
the desire on the part of the
society to join the other students
in trying to make the university
a better place to function. both
intellectually and socially.
Accordin'g to Kenney the basic
purpose of the Afro-Am Society
on this campus is for its
members to become united as a
strong Black people through
education which they are obliged
to use to improve the individual
Black communities from which
each of us came. "We are very
concerned with the direction of
the Black people as a whole," he
continued. The club expresses
this concern in a number of
ways, including a tutoring
program which they conduct for
young Blacks in Bridgeport.
Admitting that the society was
"hesitant" to actively
participate in community
affairs, Kenney indicated lhat he
thought it was time for both
Black and White students to

To the Editor:
In relation to the editorial in
the University Voice. "Motives
Questioned" in ....i1ich they
endorsed "...the removal of
University community members
from the board. recognizing the
need for objectivity". I have a
few suggestions I .....ould like to
propose. In order to achieve
objectivity. Fairfield University
should be run by a group of
persons ....i10 have never seen or
heard about Fairfield but ....i10
will learn through their
experiences with different
seeton of this community. Again
in order to achieve objeetivity.
we should dissolve all forms of
media on this campus which are
in any way contributed to by
community members and hire
an objective faction of society
such as reporters from the Daily
Ne.....s to report our news for us.
The sort of objectivity the
editorial board of the Voice
endorses is governance by an all­powerful
alienated group of
money-hungry capitalists too
busy willi their de·humanizing
computers and war machines to
do anything constructive for this
community.
We can take this objectivity
further and say that the business
owned by the Board of Trustees
should be run by an outside
authority such as the U.S.
Government. But in order for
this to be objective. the U.S.
Government should be
objective. ....i1ich necessitates
its being run by say. th.e Eskimos
on the North Pole.
Rather than objectivity. the
recent decision of the Board of
Trustees has further progressed
what this University stands for­ALIENATION.

Dear Editor:
The purpose of this letter is to
congratulate the writers of the
"University Voice" columns
entitled Time for Help (2-25·71)

question then becomes freedom

The question seems to be

To the Editor:
This year. as last. there has
been a great deal of questioning
about budgetary priorities.
Unlike last year. however. the
questions have been aimed at the
Student Government rather than
the Administration; also unlike
last year. answers have been
given to the questions. This
letter is concerned with one of
the more reeent inquiries
published as an editorial in the
University Voice last week.
The Voice questions the
Student Government's
"Deception in the Manner of
Billing". The board feels that the
fee must be listed as non­compulsory
so that students will
realize that they have a choice in
this area. This seems rather
ironic since the activities fee is
the only fee on campus aboul
which students have ever had a
choice. The fee is listed
separalely on the bill along with
tuition. insurance. room and
board. The studenl pays for any
or all of these services by choice.
\Ai'hether or not the student pays
depends on what he wants. I
would be slow to callthis.choice
a kind of deception.
However. there are concealed
char~es on the bill which I do
deplore and which do not allow
for a choice. The University
Voice is financed by student
funds and by advertising which
paid administrators solicit. The
Voice, it would seem. should
receive separate listing on the
tuition bill as does the activities
fcc so that we might be made
aware of our choice in this area.

renew our mandatory
subscriptions. By the same
token. the Voice might
investigate its own self­deception
in calling itself a trio
partite publication when the
representatives were hand·
picked by one or two
administrators. And the
administration as a whole might
rea>nsider its policy towards
those in a "personal financial
pinch" (wh ich the Voice deems
an appropriate excuse for not
paying an activities feel and look
at the policy of the Student
Government. which has been to
grant full privileges to those
who. for one reason or another.
are not able to pay.
Deception of any kind is
intolerable. whether cloaked in
metoric or hidden in fi/l!ures. and
especially intolerable in a
community of this size. To avoid
chaf'/l!es of deception about our
budget. the Student Government
publishes its bud/l!et and explains
its expenditures. It might be well
for all members of the
community to adopt the same
policy.

The Constitutional Convention is very near the
completion of its task, and its finished document,
barring unforeseen circumstances, will soon be
submitted to the entire community for ratification.
Because of its position of non-interference in areas
which involve only the sectors themselves, the
Convention has put only the minimal requirement of
majority vole on the ratification process. Each sector
shall decide on its own voting procedure. While the
faculty and student body already have operational
programs, the administrative sector faces something of
a problem.
In essence, it is a tw~sided problem of definition.
Administrators with voting rights are "contract
employees," and are distinct from ··non.-contract"
employees, Le. secretarial and maintenance staff. If the
rinal vote on the constitution, whether in favor or
opposed, is to have any validity, it is essential that a
voting procedure be hrepared which will include the
votes of all "contract employees". And if the
constitution is approved, the procedure will be
necessary for warranted participation in the new
governance system.
The second part of the deHnition problem involves the
multi-sector status of many administrators. There are
at least eleven administrators with faculty voting rights,
and there are even some with student position, through
enrollment in graduate schools. While not questioning
the validity of such arrangements, which are intricately
involved with union memberships and positions of
tenure, we would urge those with multi-sector voting
rights to cast only one vote in the ratification of the
constitution. Such an arrangement guarantees the
validity of the voting procedure.
The Orrice of Psychological Services. in a thoroughly­researched
and well-organized statement. has
recommended that a one-semester credit course on
"Human Sexuality" be offered in the undergraduate
curriculum. That such a course is desirable is attested to
both by the favorable answers to a questionnaire
distributed to students and by the experience of the
Psychological Services stafr. which shows that "a
significant area of concern for Fairrield students is
sexual." The course itself would investigate the entire
range of human sexuality, from the physical to the
emotional. from the social to the philosophical, aspects.
There is no question then as to desirability or content.
The problem arises in the area of accreditation. The
Psychological Services Office argues that a non-credit
course would entail insurmountable obstacles in
motivation. continuity, size and general organization.
The Curriculum Committee is now investigating the
problem. It is essential that they consider the non­academic
nature of the Psychological Services Office,
which provides no legitimacy for it offering a credit
course. However. as that office's proposal suggests. it is
possible for a number of academic departments to offer
such a course. We urge the Curriculum Committee and
the willing department. if it is found. to consider
seriously the warranty for and the future of such a
course.
Students have received survey forms for the Student
Government FaCUlty Evaluation Program. We urge you
-to complete and return them, if you have put it off until
now.
We would also remind everyone that the results of any
such statistically based survey are only as valid as the
number of participants. Of even more importance, of
course, is the thought which went into the answers. It
should be apparent to everyone that student handling of
this serious subject wil1 be interpreted by many
community members as indicative of the student body's
ability to participate in a tripartite form of governance.
Since the Constitutional Convention is soon to present
such a Iorm of governance to the university for
ratification, it is imperative that this survey be a
positive percursor of participatory governance.
The Student Government workers are to be
congratulated and thanked for the hundreds of man·
hours which must have gone into the preparation of
forms and the writing of computer programs to be used
in the next phase of the study. Please show your
appreciation by giving well-considered responses and
sending the forms in.

This leller concerns my
opinions on the arrest of Vincent
DeAngelo. Class of 1974. My
feeling is that it is an
unfortunate but neeessary set of
circumstances that a man must
be arrested and brought before
the courts before the
constitutionality of a law can be
judged. I would. like to
congratulate Mr. peAngelo in
the sense that he had courage in
his convictions that the law is
unconstitutional. courage enough
to risk jail sentence.
This, as unfortunate as it may
be. is the system of government
and change in our society and it
is good to see that we can still
work within the system and not
have to throw it away.
I personally believe that there
is a good chance that Mr.
DeAngelo will win his case if it
can be taken to the Connecticut
State Supreme Court. I agree
that is. abortion. is an illegal act

In an unusual chain of events.
the freshman reportedly made a
series of phone calls last Friday
morning which led to hiS own
arrest outside of Canisius Hall
shortly after noon on the same
day.
Following the arrest. D'Angelo
explained that he called State's
auorney John D. Ward. of
Bridgeport. at al'xlut 9:30a.m on
friday morning to ask if the
State planned to take any action
on the al'xlrtions ads running in
his newspaper. Mr. Ward
informed D'Angelo that a
warrant was pending. to which
the student retorted. ·'1 have a
busy weekend planned. could you
arrest me today?"
A number of phone calls were
then made to the fairfield Police
and back to the prosecutor
before it was decided that a
plain-clothesman would arrest
D'Angelo as he distributed the
news sheet outside of Canisius.
The student felt that an arrest
there would cause less
commotion than if it were staged
near the Campus Center.
According to D'Angelo. he was
booked and asked to issue a
"standard" statement.
identifying himself as the only
responsible party, disassociating
himself with the school and
explaining why he continued to
run the iIlell"al ads.
"I told them that I felt that I
was only exercising my rights of
free speech as guaranteed by the
first Amendment and I also
explained that I planned to
continue to run the ads until the
case was resolved," he
explained.
Over the weekend. however,
D' Angelo was informed that if
the ads were continued. he would
be jailed and held for 15.000
I'xlnd. This information caused
him to delete the ads from this
week·s.papers, he said.

In early June the architects
will finish phase two. \\llich
determines the internal make-up
of the building. Dr. Barone
expressed concern that more
feedback has not been received
from the community. especially
the student sector.
"After studying enrollment
projections and receiving word
that Julie Hall would not be
available after June. 1972. it was
decided that we had to build an
additional dormitory facility to
maintain our anticipated cash
flow in the area of academics,"
he said.
Shortly after the decision was
made, Dr. Barone went to
various campus committees.
including the administrative
board. the faculty's educational
planning committee. the
operation's committee of the
University Council. the Student
Government president and the
chairman of the dormitory
council, and an ad hoc planning
group to solicit input.
Dr. Barone indicated that he is
currently awaiting replies from
Terence Horan of the Student
Legislature. Robert Sheridan of
the Dormitory Council and
Stephan Dormer of the Student
Government so that they can be
incorporated into the second
phase of planning.
"Student suggestions, such as
the complaints al'xlut the Iigbting
system in Southeast. prove
extremely useful in determining
how units should be designed,"
he said.
does his supposed bewilderment
which is a failure in
interpretation on the part of Mr.
Mokae.
Mr. David Clennon gavea good
performance in his role as an
educated idiot. This role he
played quite well in fact. In his
role he was supposed to make a
great transition in character. he.
however, failed in this. This
transition was to be from a
babbling idiot to a person who
dreamt of a better life for the
two of them.
Aside from these minor
objections the play had an
interesting structure. Because
only two characters controlled
the play in dialogues. the
playwrite brought in the other
necessary characters through
memories and letters. In the
five scenes the' letters from
Ethel. a well-developed girl of
eighteen. dominate the mind and
actions of Zach.
Since the play consisted of
action between the two brothers
the play had to have 'symphonic
movement'. The 'symphonic
movement' of a play entails such
things as dramatic pauses. the
emotional pitches of the voices.
and most importantly the pace
that a scene must have. In this
play. however. this sense of
unity and harmony was lost. This
created voids in pauses. which
could have been pregnant. From
this lack of timinR scenes
dragged horribly thus the
audience became quite bored
with the play. Also a direct
result of this was that the actors
were unable to become
emotionally involved in the
scene. Therefore. when the
actors were supposed to undergo
an emotional metamofl>hosis
they simply could not do this.
This was the most serious flaw
of the whole play which ruins
what could have been a first rate
play in experimental theater.

fairfield police for printing
abortion ads in his r~tly

THE UNIVERSITY VOICE
on the other hanel. is truly black
in all senses of the word: he
accepts this. His desires become
simple ones - he wants a woman
in his life and music to express
his joy.
Mr. Zakes Mokae played the
part of Zachariah. Over all his
performance was quite good
although at times he failed to
understand his character and the
problems that this man faced as
he went through his day to day
existence. One outstanding
example of this takes place in
the fifth scene when he is talking
to the soul of his dead mother. At
that time he asks the question.
"Who's mother are you. Maury's
or Mine?" Zach cannot
understand how she can be
mother to I'xlth, Yet in the
portrayal none of this anguish
comes across to the audience nor
provide fairfield with its master
plan in addition to the regular
buildin~.·' said the orovOSl.
With the appointment of an
architect. the plans will enter
phase one in which the
schematic design is determined.
"The architects present plans
outlining the general dimensions
of the building and its possible
location. We are then able to
come up with ball park figures
for applications for grants and
loans.'· Dr. Barone explained.
The new 200 bed housing unit
will be located south of
Southeast Hall and follow a
similar style of design.
"From our initial input. it was
determined that students
favored the two room units and
also that these would be easily
converted into apartment style
living quarters for faculty and
graduate students without
families if the undergraduate
living patterns should change,"
the provost noted.
Cost is quite naturally a major
consideration. In order to set up
a self-liquidating financial
situation, the per unit cost must
be about the same as Southeast.
The provost said that there
was a general optimism that
lounges provide the primary
social area for medium size
groups and shall not be excluded
from the dormitory. However, in
Southeast. they were
constructed almost as a separate
wing, greatly increasing the
cost.

"~ollowing a dislippoinling
week-end against Georgetown
University. the Fairfield nugby
Club is preparing to meet the
Essex Rugby Club this Saturday
on IIans Grauert Field.
The Essex team is made up
primarily of Fairfield graduates,
and last fall they defeated the
Hed Higgers 11·9 in the two
teums season opener.
"A's" Drop Third
This past Saturday the
fairfield "B" and "C" teams
were bolh victorious. but the
..A" team was crushed 19·5 by a
fine Georgetown Club. This was
the "A's" worst defeat at the
hands of an American team
Since the fall of last year.
In the "A" game the fi'airfield
serum won most of the set
serums and line·outs. Out the
fast Hoya serum dominated the
action on loose serums. Their
fast pursuit also pressured the
He<! Higger backfield into
mUking bad passes and fumbling
the ball.
In the first hair Georgetown
scored three tries and a
conversion to take an 11·0 lead as
they put continuous pressure on
Ihe Hed Rigger goal. Their
serum constanlly got possession
of the ball on loose serums as
Colin Kiley was the only
Fairfield forward to consistently
pursue the !>all.
During the second hair the
pace slowed somewhat, as the
Riggers tried to advance on
kicks. Early in the half Fairfield
scored a try when wing forward
Bruce Klastow picked up a
fairfield ny kick and ran it in
from :1S yards away. Peter
fo'errara made the conversion
and the Hed Ruggers only trailed
11-5.
Georgetown soon squelched
any chance of a Fairfield
comeback as they scored their
fourth and fifth tries of the
game, on a good Hoya Oy kick
and a bad Fairfield pass, and one
conversion to close out the
scoring.
"8'1" Wla
In Ihe "B" game Fairfield
controlled the pace and won an
11-0 victory. The quick "B"
serum, led by Tim McEndy and
Jim McEttrick, consistently got
the ball for the backfield. Mike
Foley registered all the "B's"
points on two first half penalty
kicks, and a 50 yard run for a try
and conversion in the second
half.
In the third game, a hustling
Fairfield "C" team trampled
Georgetown's third side, 16-0.
John McGroarty ran 65 yards
for a try in the first half, and
Charlie Morace added the
conversion to give the Huggers a

Mr. Hickson assured her
that funds would be made
available immediately to

Although VOICE reporters
found it most difficult to uncover
the exact happenings of the sex
ring. it was learned that
Inspector Joseph Brennan. long
time member of the security
force. had beaded up a special
two man detail to spy on the
activities of his fellow guards.
Inspector Brennan indicated
that the Rev. Francis Burklely. a
lecturer in the music
department. had unwittingly
served as the front man for the
operation. obtaining the elevator
pass key. which later fell into the
hands of the guards.
Mr. Brennan scoffed at
critics. mainly from the
residence hall staff. that
suggested his investigation had
taken 100 long and that he bad
"gotten to enjoy his work:' He
dismissed them as "vicious
rumors" and assured reporters
that "this was a delicate matter
that had to be handled with the
utmost of care."
A somewhat shaken Joseph
DiCorpo. obviously chagrined
over failing to receive the nod as
security chief. expressed his
delight at being named as
manager of the bookstore.
"It will most certainly be a
difficult challenge and has
proven to be an eJ:cellent testing
ground for Mrs. Brown."
Turning to future proposals, a
more enthusiastic Mr. DiCorpo
stated, "We have got to make
them realize that this is private
property and I have every right
to make them do what I want."
Among the innovations to be
put into effect immediately are
that all customers submit to stop
and frisk procedures that proved
so successful in New York and
the introduction of a canine
corps to protect patrons from
any malicious vandals.
He also indicated that he
would confer with the Rev.

As for Mr. Barrelt, he has not

Sports editor Blair felt that the
money was only just
remuneration for chasing the
hapless Stag basketball team

"If was pretty tough to write
optimistically when 'intangibles'
were the only bright spots in 24
games, but the experience of
working in a big time operation
and learning my job from the
bottom up made it all
worthwhile." He pointed to the
"commission" which he
received for selling programs
before games as the primary
motivating factor which
convinced him to stick it out.
"Darrdl'. Amumc"
In his statement, Fr. Mcinnes
also heaped praise on Darrell W.
Ryan, director of university
relations, and recently named
publisher delegate of the Voice.
"Darrell is simply amazing," he
said. "Once the Voice was
placed under his wing, I knew
that my worries were over.
Under his leadership, the Voice
progressed just the way I had
always hoped it would. It was
almost as if he were reading my
mind. That's one man whose
loyalty I'll never have to
question~ .
Finally, Fr. McInnes lauded
the entire operation. "It does my
heart well to see all three
segments of the community
working in perfect harmony on
this newspaper. It stands as
perfect retribution to all those
cynics who doubted that it would
survive."

"we have been looking to cut

Mrs. Brown has recently risen
to the ranks of campus celebrity
for her dogged pursuit of
potential bookstore thieves. Her
eagle eye and shrill-like screams
have led to the apprehension of
more criminals than the entire

After expressing her surprise
at being named to such
prestige. a seemingly
determined Mrs. Brown stated.
"There'll be some changes

The paid student editors of the
University Voice received a real
boost this week. According to the
Rev. William C. McI.nnes,
university president, news editor
Timothy Grace. feature editor
Lawrence Halloran, and sports
editor Robert Blair will each
receive an additional $1,000 plus
a full tuition scholarship for
their "consistant" work on bis

In making the announcement
earlier this week, Fr. McI.nnes
said that these young men were
his "top dogs" this year. He
referred to tbe trio as being
among the few remaining under­graduates
who he could really
"depend on."
"Rewardiac EsperieKe"
Contacted earlier in the week.,
Me. Grace attested to the fact
that this term as an editor of the
Voice had to be one of the most
"rewarding experiences" of his
life. He added, however, that the
job demanded hard work and
longbours.
"Getting to meet with the
president and other members of
the administration so often was a
real education in itself," he said.
"It has made me a good deal
more responsible knowing that
so many adults were counting on
me."
Mr. Halloran happily
exclaimed that the bonus had
arrived just in time for that
"great" four-day Dogwood
Weekend coming up. In a more
serious tone, however, he
admitted that the job did bave

The University community

coeds from Loyola. and the
disclosure that Helen Brown.

to "straighten out the mess

failing even to admit to its

to the Fairfield P.O. reported
that former security chief James

several of the young female

questioning. They are being
detained in solitary confinement
at the North Avenuejail.
An unidentified University

have no comment until someone
told him what to say.
At this morning's press

debate, with the exception of the
clause that the meetings would
be held only at 1: 00 p.m. on
weekdays for the sake of the
commuters. several residence
hall groups objected to the
dictated crimping of springtime
night-life.
The controversial clause was
sent to committee. from whence
it may never return.
Senator William Merritt.
chairman of the appropriations
committee. asked the legislature
to approve $1000 for the
Daughter of the American
Republic. $50 to the Save V.D.
Fund (V. DeAngelo) and the last
$1200 in the treasury to the
Football Club. to buy sweats and
to cover travel costs to and from
Ludlow durinjl" the off season.
Chair ChalJeaged
Merritt objected to the chair's
statement. and rallied his
supporters to oust the non­committal
legislature head.
Mr. Horan commented. "Well
I think it would be nice for the
legislature to have a new
chairman. but you have to
consider how valuable
experience in the position can be
too."
With this decisive statemenl.
the senate gave the traditional
"thumbs-up" signal to voice
approval of the motion. The
chair was retained. Mr. Merritt
was ousted.
Senator Phillip Sherwood then
rose to make the following
motion: .. Be it moved that
faculty members not give tests
and quizzes on Friday. April 30.
due to the Dogwood concert
tentatively scheduled for the
preceedinjl" evening."
Dormer ~eutral
After order had been
established once again. Mr.
Horan asked the senators to
please reftain from shooting
spit-balls at the faculty
members who were kind enough
to attend the meetings.
The rules were then suspended
to allow Student Government
President Steve Dormer to
address the body. His topic was
the neutral board.
He said. "I don't think it is too
neutral any more. But we are
looking into it."
The newly elected executive
went on to say that the
government was operating well
on the new $50.000 budget. He
suggested the formation of a
vigilante committee to seek out
and destroy those who have not
paid the fee.
Kenneth Daly. secretary of the
body. objected to the early
adjournment but let it drop when
he was informed that he had
made the motion to adjourn.
Strange Car Towed
"What's right is right!" was
James Barret's only comment as
he supervised the towing of the
controversial white Thunderbird
from the presidents parking
space in front of Canisius last
week. The car belongs to Provost
John Barone.
An unidentified caller
informed the security
department that the president
was out of town. and that some
strange car was OCUlpying the
spot. The call was long distance.
Upon investigation, the guards
learned that the car could not be
traced.
Only after the car was taken to
Manchester Texico, did Dr.
Barone call the campus force to
report a possible theft.
He later commented...It must
have rolled there,"
After paying the ten dollar
charge, Dr. Barone retrieved his
auto.
At the faculty meeting the next
day, Mr. Leo Fay commented on
the incident. saying, "Parking is
the one issue where students and
faculty and administrators are
all the same, - almost."
The Rev. William C. Mcinnes,
S.J. university president and a
Buick man, said "I never did
trust the emergency brake on a
Ford."
The bi-partite traffic court
suspended Dr. Barone's parking
privileges for a period of one
month, during which time his
wile will drive him to work.
With mass meeting season fast
approaching, the legislature
passed the last of its
appropriations, and set up a slate
of special rules (or running the
so-called "community forum"

were instrumental in the Stags'
early season success are Mel

doubtful for next year.
Some hot prospects will be up

Basketball. once the king sport

upon his six student

Fairfield basketball has
something new in '72 - head
coach "Bud" Knittel, who
returns to the Stag staff after a
brief winter stint as freshman
coach until "family obligations"
drew him away.
The change is the second in as
many years as Fred Barakat,
who guided the Stags to a 9-15

Although the ex-Hasbrouck

Knittel had much to sayan his
