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

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!

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

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.

Introduction:
Fellow Professors,
As the len lowest teachers in
the facullY evaluation, we felt
that it was our duty to restore
the good name of the faculty by
undertaking a similar rating of
the students. Below you will find
the results of our efforts. The
qualities of each student are
summarized in a brief
paragraph, which also contains a
recommendation advising you
whether or not to admit that
student into your electives. We
thank you for your cooperation
and for sticking with us in our
darkest bour.
Signed,

(I) John M. Most professors
have found Mr. M. to be a
competent student. 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. His ignorance
is so pathetic that he will never
embarrass you in class with
clever questions. Furthermore,
he once bought a ticket to an
AAUP fund·raising lecture.
Aslight majority recommends
this student for your class.
(2) Joseph D. This student
ranked bighly in all categories.
He was lound to be anti·
tripartite, anti·Traffic Courl,
anti-&holarship Committee. and
in favor of closed faculty
meetings. Thus Mr. D. merits an
outstanding rating. The teachers
have unanimously recommended
that he be accepted into any
class.
(3) James F. Mr. F.'s
academic record indicates him
to be an excellent student; but as
we all know, grades are
deceptive and not a true
indication of a student's level of
intelligence. Indeed Mr. F. 's
actions of late renect the mind

reaches senior year.
Dr. McDonald stressed that his
function is to serve the.students.
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.

Grad. 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. ConseQuently,

Azzara rounds third
and heads for the plate in a 4-1
win over Providence.
Ciccone tallied Fairfield's
final run in the fourth when he
walked, was sacrificed to second
by Dillon, moved to third on a
wild pitch and scored on a double
steal attempt following Azzara's
walk.
Jim McGintee turned in the
strongest performance by a
Fairfield hurler this season in
allowing three hits, striking out
10 and walking one to raise his
record to 3-1. Gary Lewis. the
first of three Providence
pitchers, took the loss.
Trojaaowskl Sbarp in Loss
Bob Trojanowski suffered a
tough loss to Bridgeport Monday
as he tossed a four-hitter while
striking out four and walking
only one. However, the Knights
took advantage of two errors by
second baseman Bob
Castrignano and a passed ball in
the fourth inning to score what
proved to be the winning run.
Rick Smith turned in a credit­worthy
pitching performance for
Bridgeport as he allowed only
three hits while striking out nine
and walking six to raise his
record to 4-l.
Trojanowski's record dipped
to 1-3 while Fairfield dropped to
6-8 on the year going into the
