Joseph MacDonnell, S.J., - assistant professor of mathematics will give the final presentation in the 197~7l Faculty Lecture Series when he discusses "Iraq, Past and Present" on Monday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock in the Oak R~m. Prior to joining the University faculty, Fr. MacDonnell served for eight years on the faculties of Baghdad College and El Hikma University. He was among the group of Jesuit priests that were forced to leave the country by the Iraq governmenl Drawing on these experiences, be will discuss the political, social and cultural changes that have taken place in Iraq. This presentation will be supplemented by color slides. The lecture will close out the series sponsored by the Fairfield chapter of the American Association of _ University Professors. probl~ms; and assisted' in carrylftg out a survey of incoming freshmen women. This year's interns are scheduled to spend most of their time working on freshmen orientation and establishing a program for volunteers. academic and constitutional divisions' precise procedures left to the boards. with the final approval of the senate. Terml Stagere4 The nine member Constitutional Division, which will review "questions which arise concerning the provisiOllS of the Constitution" and act as a final appellate body to the other courts established, will be formed through a nominating procedure from each sector, with the approval of the senate. The jUStiCi5 will serve two year lerms, at the suggestion of Paul Greeley. administrative delegate. Five judges will begin two year terms immediately. with the other four (one faculty member. one administrator and two students) serving a one year term initially. Their successors will then begin the oonnal two year tenure. This is to insure that the entire court will never be up for renewal at the same time. PreamWe DelayMi The discussion of the preamble followed. A revision of the original preamble set forth by the Rev. John Mcintyre, S.J. and the Bill of Rigbts Committee was proposed by freshman Vincent DeAngelo. This form was generally adopted. but will go to re-write for more work. As discussion of the lengthy Bill of Rights began. the Rev. Bernard SCully, S.J. called for a quorum count. The meetillg was fouDd to be nine short of the required number to COfttinue a legal meeting. governance committee for reconsideration approved with little difficulty. They were the procedures for recall of senale and board delegates. the matter of annual report to be sent to the Board of Trustees on the work of the senate, the procedures for referral and approval of legislation from the boards by the senate. Afler these were approved. constitution chainnan Robert Sheridan proposed that the convention take the entire document under consideration. There was considerable debale over the advisability of getting tbis "overview" of the constitution before or after the discussion of the Bill of Rights. QIIonm Dlanlsed Friday's session adjourned at 5:00 p.m. with a discussion and band count of those able to attend the Saturday meetings. With many faculty and students either going to Wasbi.ngton or fuHillifll previous engagements. there was considerable worry over establisbing and maintaining a quorum. Saturday morniog tbe convention marcbed through the constitution, article by article. with only minor word changes to add consistency to the document. Mr. Cheney continually added pbrases and precise language, sighting the necessity of the constitution being read and understood kMlc after its writers aregooe. Considerable wort was done on the university court system at the saturday session. The threedivision judicial system was approved. with the community. Applications are now being accepted from members of either the sophomore or junior classes for this summer's summer intern program, to be held at the university. In its second year, Ule prQgram enables three undergraduate students to work through members of the University's administrative staff on a variety of student - related problems during a nine week 1>e'iod. . Those chosen will receive $700 credit on next year's tuition. a $20 weekly stipend during the work period. free room and board during the time that the university cafeteria is operating. Interested students should submit a letter to the dean or resident students, William P. Schimpf, explaining what he thinks he could contribute to the program and also describing the diversity of his past school and work experiences. The deadline for applications is May 4_ Last summer, three students, Robert Buccino '71, Robert Murphy '7t and Arthur Gallagher '72 participated in the first inlern program. They worked on a number of different projects including updating student handbook; studying and proposing changes in the student scholarstUp program; helping with the university catalogue; dealing with various housing Student Intern.

They included changing the name of the Student Government to the "Undergraduate Student Association", the removal of the name of St. Robert Bellarmine from the constitution. After long delay due to a heavy agenda, the Government Operations Committee presented the list of names submitted for Northwest and Southeast dorms. Captain Flahive was the first Fairfield graduate to be killed in the Vietnam War. Dietrich Bonhoffer is a noted author on the topic of civil disobedience who died in a Nazi prison camp. The entire procedure Is in response to the Board of Trustees' statement on University Governance which set the level of student participation on that body far below those concepts recommended at the end of last year's strike. The six seniors were elected by the legislature as representatives to the Board, and will present themselves at the May meeting of the Trustees to be heard. 01-.. busiu•• The election and naming of the dormitories was undertaken to represent student government adherance to the five point settlement of last spring. Christopher Spence. a sophomore commuter, was elected to the student senate to fill a vacant seat. A resolution in two parts was passed asking the Dean to consider the possibility of changing the calendar to allow three reading days before final enminaUons. The first part of the resolution applied to this year, the second to the future. The next meeting of the legislature will be held one week from today and will discuss the means to elect two students to the committee of the Board of Trustees dealing with University governance. With the entire body of the constitution now approved, the April meeting of the Constitutional Convention lost its quorum saturday and failed to pass the last section of the document, the preamble and Bill of Rights. The University Council. in a special caucus held before the meeting brolr.e Saturday, decided to attempt to call the convention into final session some time late this week. With the document so near completion, the University Council must now decide when the how the process of ratification by all three sectors will take place.

The amendments, considered once before early in the year, were sponsored by freshman the incoming freshman girls and the plan will reach Its third and final stage next year when improvements will be made on Gonzaga's top two floors. lKreased Female Rade According to University Provos't: Dr. Jobn A. Barone, the moving of females to Gonzaga represents an increase in the ratio of fresbman coeds to freshmen men being admitted to the ulUvenity for the Class of "1S which arrives on campus next fall. Approximately 430 men and 260 women are expected to enter next year's freshmen class while the Class of '74 included about 510 men and 180 women. While 70 of the new coeds will reside in Gonzaga. another twenty young women will dorm in Julie HaU at the Notre Dame Novitiate, increasing tbe number of female University residents there to about 55. Dr. Barone explained that the University bas not set any definile guidelines for delennining the male-female ratio in the future. "We decided on a relatively conservative number of females for the first year because we did not know what quality students would apply." We planned to change the 3·1 ratio as the base of applicants improVed and the University program showed itself capable of accommodating (Continued on Page 3) By Tlmodly J.

DAVlDZOLA,CHAffiMAN UNIVERSITY SOCIAL AFFAIRSCOMMlTTEE Please Pay To the Editor: On the stormy evening of March 19th, the New England Art Exhbit 'black tie' affair was held in the Oak Room of the campus center. Entertainment was provided at the affair by a trio comprised of two past graduates, myself and Neil Hart, and a presently enrolled student of the university, Michael Foley. When I arrived that night before playing, I was told by the head of the cultural events department that a check for our performance or services bad been requested the previous day, the 18th, from the treasury dept. and that it should arrive by mail at my home address within a day or so. As of today, it has been 3 weeks and one day .since the performance, and 3 weeks and two days since the check request. Although the amount of money is not that great - the excuse of a low treasury fund is not applicable here - I find it terribly inconsiderate of the treasury and also the cultural events department to take so much time. It becomes personally embarassing for me when fellow musicians call me from in and out of state asking where their pay is! I questioned whether I should write this letter and also the significance of it, but out of sincere respect for my 'alma mater' I felt that this 'scathing' blow at a weak spot in the university's admmistrative hierarchy should be mentioned in hopes that it will be corrected in the future. If it happens at this level, I cannot imagine what occurs at the top of the ladder! Richard J. Cbiarappa, Jr. 0· • "'<. to appear at the time agreed upon, with the specific musicians agreed upon, to play for the proper period of time. and to receive your money after. and only after, the performance has been completed as specified in the contract. The recent action taken by the A.F.M. serves to deprive us of these safeguards. The union further demands that our contracts be governed by New York State law rather than Connecticut: not only is this illegal, but it prohibits the State of Connecticut from intervening in any contractual dispute. What all this comes down to is that the recent A.F. of M. action is totally unacceptable, yet any agent who refuses to observe the ruling is subject to the loss of his union license and is simply forced out of business. The N.E.C. has answered the A.F. of M. with a law suit in bopes of blocking the union's action with a court injunction. Hopefully, the suit will be settled in your and our favor, but in the interim. the refusal of Fairfield University and other member schools across the country to contract without the protection of the rider has made concertbooking difficult, to say the least. In addition, concert performers are effectively "pricing themselves right out of business." In our case, if every seat in the gymnasium is sold out at $5.00 per ticket (a price I consider the most that can fairly be asked of a student), the income from the ticket sales is approximately $10.000. Yet James Taylor recerltly said be'll play no college for less than $30,000. to $50,000. Accordingly. "Blood, Sweat, & Tears" has quoted us $25,000. plus a percentage of our ticket sales. "Creedence Clearwater Revival" asks some $35,000.. and "Simon and Garfunkel" talk in terms of $60,000. and up'. Schools that book bigger-name talent generally have a larger auditorium facility than we. More seats mean more ticket income; more ticket income allows them to book expensive talent. In rect!flt months, restrictions on concert bookings have come about as a result of a series of ~- 1 Rock Concerts To the University Community: A great many questions have been asked lately concerning the concerts here at Fairfield. The University Social Affairs Committee is taking this opportunity to clarify a few points about pop and rock concerts in general. Programming concerts for the University community has always been a difficult and a C()mplex task - both in satisfying the desires of a majority of students, and in getting a good performance at a good price. The American Federation of Musicians is an international union to which any performer boping to acquire recording contracts or achieve stardom must belong. Recerltly, the A.F. of M. put forth a rule forbidding any of its member agents to accept a contract with deletions or riders attached. The union recognizes as legitimate only their own "Form B" contract, which specifies only the name of the group, the date. and location of the performance. and the fee they will receive. Experience has shown this contract to be insufficient to protect you, the audience, from the no-shows. the late-shows, the appearances without the correct musicians and the questionable financial practices which have occurred all 100 frequently. To afford you protection against such occurrances, Fairfield University has joined with some S30 schools across the country in a non·profit organization known as the National EntertaiJlment Conference. The N.E.C. is .....an unicorporated organization ... C()ncerned about the rising costs of entertainment and related problems which colleges face ... in presenting entertainment talent on campus." Through the N.E.C., various programming groups receive a wide variety of information on the reception of concernt performers at different institutions, and problems encountered in the appearance of particular groups. One of the N.E.C.'s most important functions has been the creation of the N.E.C. Contract Rider. This rider is attached to every contract made between Fairfield University and its concert performers. What this rider does. in short, is to protect you, by legally binding the group 'Good Guys' On April 2(), 1971, two friends and I attended a clsss in continuing education at the University. Just as we reached the exit from the grounds to North Benson Road we had a flat tire. We used the telephone of a resident of North Benson Road and called the AAA. While we waited in the car with the flasher operating three different cars from Fairfield University, students in them, stopped and offered assistance. Then one of the Red Security Jeeps drove up, said that a student had reported three ladies in difficulty at the entrance to the University, and offered help. We were most grateful and they offered to change the tire. We had waited quite a while by this time and accepted their offer. We offered to pay them and they refused. This letter is to commend them to you - we asked for their names - George Maher and Bob Kronck - they were most courteous and most helpful and we came away from the University with a warm feeling of pride and gratitude for the several instances of concern for our safety by the members of the staff and student body. Sincerely, Marjorie S. Halloran More Counceling Probably the most unsuitable location on campus for semester examinations is exactly where they are conducted, -the gymnasium. The choice of this location violates every sound principle of pedagogy with respect to optimum thinking and proficiency measurement. Why the sweat-space, designed for muscular energetics, should also be deemed appropriate for mental testing simply defies comprehension. Why does the semester's academic work terminate in the gym? It was probably moved from the classroom to the gym for the sake of regimented control. This is the most obvious reason. However such control can be justified, it certainly cannot be advanced to promote honesty. Only a naive and unexperienced pedagogue would assume that honesty can be assured by regimented supervision. Anyone who has ever taken an exam knows that undistracted concentration is of the essence of the activity. External distractions in the gym are not for thirty students, but for three hundred. Especially during the last thirty minutes or so, the shuffling about as students finish and leave is very disturbing to those for whom the last time period is crucial. Some degree of personal comfort is indispensible for concentrated intellectual work. If Fairfield University boasts of a size in which personal dignity can be respected, this boast must be qualified with respect to the essential activity of testing. Under the present circumstances. examinations are conducted in a manner typical of massive and impersonal universities. The conditions of the gym hardly meet the needs of personal comfort and personal dignity as the student is challenged to demonstrate his intellectual mastery. Examinations should be in the classrooms. With the opening of Sannow Hall, surely there is now sufficient classroom space for scheduled testing. Teachers are already charged with computing an honest grade for a semester's work. Why theY should not also be responsible for the administration and supervision of final examinations in their classrooms is an appropriate question to raise now that students and teachers are once again faced with the demand of marching to the lO'm. During the days preceding registration, perplexed students were scurrying around the campus, seeking information that would help them make decisions regarding possible majors and future careers. Although not new to this campus, instances seemed to have increased in recent years. Never before have students had more freedom in planning their academic future. The University has provided a wide variety of electives, but to the student the alternatives often appear fragmented and unstructured. While granting the long requested right of free choice, the University has failed to prOVide the academic and vocational counseling necessary to cope with this new found freedom. At present the major burden of academic counseling for underclassman falls to the dean of freshman and a group of faculty volunteers who are supposed to meet with the students. According to this procedure, the student is informed by mail during orientation week of the name of his faculty advisor and where to find his posted office hours.Given the problems confronting new freshman and the infrequency of some faculty members' appearances on the campus, it is no wonder that the program is regarded as a dismal failure. We feel that the academic concerns of our newly arrived students are far too important to be left to chance. We urge the adoption of a program that is somewhat similar to the mintor system used in European universities. Each September every faculty member would be assi2ned four or five students. It would Uten become the teacher's responsibility to extend himself to the newcomer and offer academic orientation and guidance. We also would encourage that the faculty member be required to submit to the dean of freshman evaluations of the progress and needs of the student. This would not only help the individual and provide a basis for future counseling, but also help administrators get a better picture of Fairfield's educational process. The University has also been seriously deficient in the area of career counseling. The responsibility seems to be divided between psychological services and the placement office, but currently neither provide the necessary functions of vocational guidance to underclassmen as a primary function. Only recently it was learned that the University is planning to fill the void with a full-time counselor. We commend the administration for this move and hope that through the efforts of the counselor, students will be better prepared to make decisions regarding their future.

No one recommends him for any class. (4) Harold P. Not much is known of Mr. P. except that he is a member of the Student Government. This unfortunate fact obviously lost him supporters as only the two faculty delegates to the Government, out of respect for their colleague, recommended him for a course. (5) Francis N. Since he has consistently opposed an increase in faculty salaries, the teachers have unanimously rated Mr. N. very weak. in the area of finance. It is recommended that he be admitted only to Business courses for remedial help. '(6) Allen S. This student may be classified as average in all respects. He does little work, drin1c.s heavily on weekends, is apathetic toward school politics. and has lost alltracesofreligion.

As long as the students remain average, the school will continue to hire you an average teacher. New Coed Home (Continued From Page 1) a higher number of females.

While his flagrant absences from class, his widespread plagiarism- of term papers, and his outright cheating during tests leave something to be desired, he does possess a few redeeming traits.

Maintaining an open-door policy, he is available for consultation with the entire student populace. As a teacher as well as head of the G.R.S. for the past six years, Dr. McDonald is concerned about students who ignore opportunities. He encourages anyone even vaguely interested in grad school to visit his office. "The New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area is a tough one," he says. "With so many colleges, competition is bound to be strenuous." While Q.P. averages, G.R.E. scores, and letters of recommendation all play an important role in graduate admissions, according to Dr. McDonald, each school operates on its own system. Different aspects of a student's ability are stressed. So being the case, it is wise for a student to seek advice as to exactly which developmental aspects are highly regan:led by the graduate school of his choiet!. R~lected to his post for the next three years, Dr. McDonald will continue to be available to those studenis who seek his assistance. Members of the Committee who will assist him are: Drs. Matthew McCarthy, Cavallo, Heinze, Harms, Long. Boitano, Thomas McInerney, and (ex--o(ficio) Vincent Murphy.

Situation'Tight' By Mary Doonan-a Once upon a time, a college graduate could easily obtain a job or an acceptance into graduate school. These days, however, the transition from college to post-college life is not so simple. College graduates abound, unemployment soars, and graduate schools receive more applicants than they can handle. According to Dr. Gerard B. McDonald, Chairman of the Graduale Studies Committee, "The situation is indeed very light. " Because of the lremendous competilion now involved in the graduate scbool system, Dr. McDonald stresses the importance of the Graduate Studies board. "Our purpose," he says, "is to provide our students with information about grad schools, to aid them in admission procedures and the acquiring of financial aid, and to encourage them to enter the national award competitions." Or. McDonald, whose office is in Canisuus No. 42, noted that a student's sophomore year is not too soon to consider graduale studies. "The sooner a student sees me, the better." That way, maintains Dr. McDonald, he can be aware of all the opportunities that fit his need. Also, the Graduate Studies Committee can keep a record of the student's progress at the University.

TopNH aadPC The Stags had notched victories over the University of New Haven, 11-4, and Providence College, 4-1, before succumbing to the Purple Knights Monday. The Fairfield nine launched a I6-hit attack to hand New Haven its second loss in 14 outings. An RBI single by Bob Ciccone gave the Stags a 1·0 first inning advantage before a 2-run double by Bob Dillon, a run scoring double by Ken Lanifero and an RBI single by Butch Azzara gave Fairfield a 5"() edee. Xhe Chargers tallied all of their runs in the fifth stanza on RBI triples by Bill Hanley and Jim Habl, a run-scoring single by Mark Kilmurray and a Fairfield error. Following a leadofff triple by Lanifero, his fourth hit of the game, Dillon lashed a triple and Kevin McKee followed with a single to drive in two runs in the sixth before an RBI triple by Lanifero, following a single by Finch, concluded the Fairfield scoring. Laaifero Hot BaC Lanifero led the Stags with a five-hit performance, including a homer, two triples, double and single to drive in four runs. Tom Finch collected three singles and Dillon had a pair or doubles to assist in the Fairfield attack. Gene Radomski received credit for the win, his first against one loss, while Rich Anderson suffered his first loss after three wins for the Chargers. The Fairfield nine continued its winning ways with a victory over Providence, handing the Friars their sixth loss against two wins.

The jUStiCi5 will serve two year lerms, at the suggestion of Paul Greeley. administrative delegate. Five judges will begin two year terms immediately. with the other four (one faculty member. one administrator and two students) serving a one year term initially. Their successors will then begin the oonnal two year tenure. This is to insure that the entire court will never be up for renewal at the same time. PreamWe DelayMi The discussion of the preamble followed. A revision of the original preamble set forth by the Rev. John Mcintyre, S.J. and the Bill of Rigbts Committee was proposed by freshman Vincent DeAngelo. This form was generally adopted. but will go to re-write for more work. As discussion of the lengthy Bill of Rights began. the Rev. Bernard SCully, S.J. called for a quorum count. The meetillg was fouDd to be nine short of the required number to COfttinue a legal meeting. governance committee for reconsideration approved with little difficulty. They were the procedures for recall of senale and board delegates. the matter of annual report to be sent to the Board of Trustees on the work of the senate, the procedures for referral and approval of legislation from the boards by the senate. Afler these were approved. constitution chainnan Robert Sheridan proposed that the convention take the entire document under consideration. There was considerable debale over the advisability of getting tbis "overview" of the constitution before or after the discussion of the Bill of Rights. QIIonm Dlanlsed Friday's session adjourned at 5:00 p.m. with a discussion and band count of those able to attend the Saturday meetings. With many faculty and students either going to Wasbi.ngton or fuHillifll previous engagements. there was considerable worry over establisbing and maintaining a quorum. Saturday morniog tbe convention marcbed through the constitution, article by article. with only minor word changes to add consistency to the document. Mr. Cheney continually added pbrases and precise language, sighting the necessity of the constitution being read and understood kMlc after its writers aregooe. Considerable wort was done on the university court system at the saturday session. The threedivision judicial system was approved. with the community.

Captain Flahive was the first Fairfield graduate to be killed in the Vietnam War. Dietrich Bonhoffer is a noted author on the topic of civil disobedience who died in a Nazi prison camp. The entire procedure Is in response to the Board of Trustees' statement on University Governance which set the level of student participation on that body far below those concepts recommended at the end of last year's strike. The six seniors were elected by the legislature as representatives to the Board, and will present themselves at the May meeting of the Trustees to be heard. 01-.. busiu•• The election and naming of the dormitories was undertaken to represent student government adherance to the five point settlement of last spring. Christopher Spence. a sophomore commuter, was elected to the student senate to fill a vacant seat. A resolution in two parts was passed asking the Dean to consider the possibility of changing the calendar to allow three reading days before final enminaUons. The first part of the resolution applied to this year, the second to the future. The next meeting of the legislature will be held one week from today and will discuss the means to elect two students to the committee of the Board of Trustees dealing with University governance. With the entire body of the constitution now approved, the April meeting of the Constitutional Convention lost its quorum saturday and failed to pass the last section of the document, the preamble and Bill of Rights. The University Council. in a special caucus held before the meeting brolr.e Saturday, decided to attempt to call the convention into final session some time late this week. With the document so near completion, the University Council must now decide when the how the process of ratification by all three sectors will take place.

Barone, the moving of females to Gonzaga represents an increase in the ratio of fresbman coeds to freshmen men being admitted to the ulUvenity for the Class of "1S which arrives on campus next fall. Approximately 430 men and 260 women are expected to enter next year's freshmen class while the Class of '74 included about 510 men and 180 women. While 70 of the new coeds will reside in Gonzaga. another twenty young women will dorm in Julie HaU at the Notre Dame Novitiate, increasing tbe number of female University residents there to about 55. Dr. Barone explained that the University bas not set any definile guidelines for delennining the male-female ratio in the future. "We decided on a relatively conservative number of females for the first year because we did not know what quality students would apply." We planned to change the 3·1 ratio as the base of applicants improVed and the University program showed itself capable of accommodating (Continued on Page 3) By Tlmodly J.

DAVlDZOLA,CHAffiMAN UNIVERSITY SOCIAL AFFAIRSCOMMlTTEE Please Pay To the Editor: On the stormy evening of March 19th, the New England Art Exhbit 'black tie' affair was held in the Oak Room of the campus center. Entertainment was provided at the affair by a trio comprised of two past graduates, myself and Neil Hart, and a presently enrolled student of the university, Michael Foley. When I arrived that night before playing, I was told by the head of the cultural events department that a check for our performance or services bad been requested the previous day, the 18th, from the treasury dept. and that it should arrive by mail at my home address within a day or so. As of today, it has been 3 weeks and one day .since the performance, and 3 weeks and two days since the check request. Although the amount of money is not that great - the excuse of a low treasury fund is not applicable here - I find it terribly inconsiderate of the treasury and also the cultural events department to take so much time. It becomes personally embarassing for me when fellow musicians call me from in and out of state asking where their pay is! I questioned whether I should write this letter and also the significance of it, but out of sincere respect for my 'alma mater' I felt that this 'scathing' blow at a weak spot in the university's admmistrative hierarchy should be mentioned in hopes that it will be corrected in the future. If it happens at this level, I cannot imagine what occurs at the top of the ladder! Richard J. Cbiarappa, Jr. 0· • "'<. to appear at the time agreed upon, with the specific musicians agreed upon, to play for the proper period of time. and to receive your money after. and only after, the performance has been completed as specified in the contract. The recent action taken by the A.F.M. serves to deprive us of these safeguards. The union further demands that our contracts be governed by New York State law rather than Connecticut: not only is this illegal, but it prohibits the State of Connecticut from intervening in any contractual dispute. What all this comes down to is that the recent A.F. of M. action is totally unacceptable, yet any agent who refuses to observe the ruling is subject to the loss of his union license and is simply forced out of business. The N.E.C. has answered the A.F. of M. with a law suit in bopes of blocking the union's action with a court injunction. Hopefully, the suit will be settled in your and our favor, but in the interim. the refusal of Fairfield University and other member schools across the country to contract without the protection of the rider has made concertbooking difficult, to say the least. In addition, concert performers are effectively "pricing themselves right out of business." In our case, if every seat in the gymnasium is sold out at $5.00 per ticket (a price I consider the most that can fairly be asked of a student), the income from the ticket sales is approximately $10.000. Yet James Taylor recerltly said be'll play no college for less than $30,000. to $50,000. Accordingly. "Blood, Sweat, & Tears" has quoted us $25,000. plus a percentage of our ticket sales. "Creedence Clearwater Revival" asks some $35,000.. and "Simon and Garfunkel" talk in terms of $60,000. and up'. Schools that book bigger-name talent generally have a larger auditorium facility than we. More seats mean more ticket income; more ticket income allows them to book expensive talent. In rect!flt months, restrictions on concert bookings have come about as a result of a series of ~- 1 Rock Concerts To the University Community: A great many questions have been asked lately concerning the concerts here at Fairfield. The University Social Affairs Committee is taking this opportunity to clarify a few points about pop and rock concerts in general. Programming concerts for the University community has always been a difficult and a C()mplex task - both in satisfying the desires of a majority of students, and in getting a good performance at a good price. The American Federation of Musicians is an international union to which any performer boping to acquire recording contracts or achieve stardom must belong. Recerltly, the A.F. of M. put forth a rule forbidding any of its member agents to accept a contract with deletions or riders attached. The union recognizes as legitimate only their own "Form B" contract, which specifies only the name of the group, the date. and location of the performance. and the fee they will receive. Experience has shown this contract to be insufficient to protect you, the audience, from the no-shows. the late-shows, the appearances without the correct musicians and the questionable financial practices which have occurred all 100 frequently. To afford you protection against such occurrances, Fairfield University has joined with some S30 schools across the country in a non·profit organization known as the National EntertaiJlment Conference. The N.E.C. is .....an unicorporated organization ... C()ncerned about the rising costs of entertainment and related problems which colleges face ... in presenting entertainment talent on campus." Through the N.E.C., various programming groups receive a wide variety of information on the reception of concernt performers at different institutions, and problems encountered in the appearance of particular groups. One of the N.E.C.'s most important functions has been the creation of the N.E.C. Contract Rider. This rider is attached to every contract made between Fairfield University and its concert performers. What this rider does. in short, is to protect you, by legally binding the group 'Good Guys' On April 2(), 1971, two friends and I attended a clsss in continuing education at the University. Just as we reached the exit from the grounds to North Benson Road we had a flat tire. We used the telephone of a resident of North Benson Road and called the AAA. While we waited in the car with the flasher operating three different cars from Fairfield University, students in them, stopped and offered assistance. Then one of the Red Security Jeeps drove up, said that a student had reported three ladies in difficulty at the entrance to the University, and offered help. We were most grateful and they offered to change the tire. We had waited quite a while by this time and accepted their offer. We offered to pay them and they refused. This letter is to commend them to you - we asked for their names - George Maher and Bob Kronck - they were most courteous and most helpful and we came away from the University with a warm feeling of pride and gratitude for the several instances of concern for our safety by the members of the staff and student body. Sincerely, Marjorie S. Halloran More Counceling Probably the most unsuitable location on campus for semester examinations is exactly where they are conducted, -the gymnasium. The choice of this location violates every sound principle of pedagogy with respect to optimum thinking and proficiency measurement. Why the sweat-space, designed for muscular energetics, should also be deemed appropriate for mental testing simply defies comprehension. Why does the semester's academic work terminate in the gym? It was probably moved from the classroom to the gym for the sake of regimented control. This is the most obvious reason. However such control can be justified, it certainly cannot be advanced to promote honesty. Only a naive and unexperienced pedagogue would assume that honesty can be assured by regimented supervision. Anyone who has ever taken an exam knows that undistracted concentration is of the essence of the activity. External distractions in the gym are not for thirty students, but for three hundred. Especially during the last thirty minutes or so, the shuffling about as students finish and leave is very disturbing to those for whom the last time period is crucial. Some degree of personal comfort is indispensible for concentrated intellectual work. If Fairfield University boasts of a size in which personal dignity can be respected, this boast must be qualified with respect to the essential activity of testing. Under the present circumstances. examinations are conducted in a manner typical of massive and impersonal universities. The conditions of the gym hardly meet the needs of personal comfort and personal dignity as the student is challenged to demonstrate his intellectual mastery. Examinations should be in the classrooms. With the opening of Sannow Hall, surely there is now sufficient classroom space for scheduled testing. Teachers are already charged with computing an honest grade for a semester's work. Why theY should not also be responsible for the administration and supervision of final examinations in their classrooms is an appropriate question to raise now that students and teachers are once again faced with the demand of marching to the lO'm. During the days preceding registration, perplexed students were scurrying around the campus, seeking information that would help them make decisions regarding possible majors and future careers. Although not new to this campus, instances seemed to have increased in recent years. Never before have students had more freedom in planning their academic future. The University has provided a wide variety of electives, but to the student the alternatives often appear fragmented and unstructured. While granting the long requested right of free choice, the University has failed to prOVide the academic and vocational counseling necessary to cope with this new found freedom. At present the major burden of academic counseling for underclassman falls to the dean of freshman and a group of faculty volunteers who are supposed to meet with the students. According to this procedure, the student is informed by mail during orientation week of the name of his faculty advisor and where to find his posted office hours.Given the problems confronting new freshman and the infrequency of some faculty members' appearances on the campus, it is no wonder that the program is regarded as a dismal failure. We feel that the academic concerns of our newly arrived students are far too important to be left to chance. We urge the adoption of a program that is somewhat similar to the mintor system used in European universities. Each September every faculty member would be assi2ned four or five students. It would Uten become the teacher's responsibility to extend himself to the newcomer and offer academic orientation and guidance. We also would encourage that the faculty member be required to submit to the dean of freshman evaluations of the progress and needs of the student. This would not only help the individual and provide a basis for future counseling, but also help administrators get a better picture of Fairfield's educational process. The University has also been seriously deficient in the area of career counseling. The responsibility seems to be divided between psychological services and the placement office, but currently neither provide the necessary functions of vocational guidance to underclassmen as a primary function. Only recently it was learned that the University is planning to fill the void with a full-time counselor. We commend the administration for this move and hope that through the efforts of the counselor, students will be better prepared to make decisions regarding their future.

No one recommends him for any class. (4) Harold P. Not much is known of Mr. P. except that he is a member of the Student Government. This unfortunate fact obviously lost him supporters as only the two faculty delegates to the Government, out of respect for their colleague, recommended him for a course. (5) Francis N. Since he has consistently opposed an increase in faculty salaries, the teachers have unanimously rated Mr. N. very weak. in the area of finance. It is recommended that he be admitted only to Business courses for remedial help. '(6) Allen S. This student may be classified as average in all respects. He does little work, drin1c.s heavily on weekends, is apathetic toward school politics. and has lost alltracesofreligion. Although the Jesuit faculty gave him a low score for the latter trait, this student merits a high rating. As long as the students remain average, the school will continue to hire you an average teacher. New Coed Home (Continued From Page 1) a higher number of females.

Maintaining an open-door policy, he is available for consultation with the entire student populace. As a teacher as well as head of the G.R.S. for the past six years, Dr. McDonald is concerned about students who ignore opportunities. He encourages anyone even vaguely interested in grad school to visit his office. "The New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area is a tough one," he says. "With so many colleges, competition is bound to be strenuous." While Q.P. averages, G.R.E. scores, and letters of recommendation all play an important role in graduate admissions, according to Dr. McDonald, each school operates on its own system. Different aspects of a student's ability are stressed. So being the case, it is wise for a student to seek advice as to exactly which developmental aspects are highly regan:led by the graduate school of his choiet!. R~lected to his post for the next three years, Dr. McDonald will continue to be available to those studenis who seek his assistance. Members of the Committee who will assist him are: Drs. Matthew McCarthy, Cavallo, Heinze, Harms, Long. Boitano, Thomas McInerney, and (ex--o(ficio) Vincent Murphy.

Situation'Tight' By Mary Doonan-a Once upon a time, a college graduate could easily obtain a job or an acceptance into graduate school. These days, however, the transition from college to post-college life is not so simple. College graduates abound, unemployment soars, and graduate schools receive more applicants than they can handle. According to Dr. Gerard B. McDonald, Chairman of the Graduale Studies Committee, "The situation is indeed very light. " Because of the lremendous competilion now involved in the graduate scbool system, Dr. McDonald stresses the importance of the Graduate Studies board. "Our purpose," he says, "is to provide our students with information about grad schools, to aid them in admission procedures and the acquiring of financial aid, and to encourage them to enter the national award competitions." Or. McDonald, whose office is in Canisuus No. 42, noted that a student's sophomore year is not too soon to consider graduale studies. "The sooner a student sees me, the better." That way, maintains Dr. McDonald, he can be aware of all the opportunities that fit his need. Also, the Graduate Studies Committee can keep a record of the student's progress at the University.
