              Fewer Choose
Grad Studies
Fewer Fairfield seniors are
electing to continue their
education in graduate school.
according to Dr. Gerald
McDonald. chairman' of the
graduate studies committee.
In a letter last week to the
general faculty. Dr. McDonald
noted that "the number of our
seniors applying for graduate
school has decreased noticably
since 1967."
He noted further that
scholarship and fellowship
awards had fallen from $267.000
in 1967 to $100.000 in 1970 - a
decline of more than 60 percent
in fOUf years.
The letter was distributed to
the faculty in order to remind
them that the application
deadline for many graduate
schools was March 15. He
pointed out that while many
seniors had filed applications,
"many also have not yet applied
at this time." He urged his
fellow faculty members to
remind their senior classes of

Mr. John HICkso~

reminded the body that "you ar~

The people in this government
will not be robots."
Late Saturday. the convention
once again began to work on the
rough document that will
someday be the constitution. Mr.
Harry Fishman. a delegate of
the faculty, added five points to
the rough draft that embodied
the days's discussions.
One area of concern was the
relationship of the two bodies in
emergency conditions. Several
cases were cited in which the
senate mi~ht have to become
both legislative and executive.
Function Changed
They were as follows: The
Senate will exercise an
execut,iye funct.ion in apprOVing
or dlsapproYlDg legislation
passed through a board; the
senate can initiate discussion on
a topic and instruct a board to
prepare legislation relating to
that topic; in the case thal the
board does not act on a certain
matter, the senate may step in
but only in a temporary manner
until which time a board can
properly pass the legislation.
A motion put forth by Dr. Ross
that the tri·partite government
be subject to renewal by the
&ard of Trustees every t .....o
year.; is the first topic for
discussion at the next meeting to
be held the third .....eekend of
February.

Tri-Partite Argues
Nature of Senate
By Larry Hallorall
In its first meeting since the
holiday recess. the constitutional
convention devoted much of its
time to discussion of the
difference between the
legislative and executive
functions of the proposed
University Senate, rather than
its usual .....ork on the rough draft.
In light of the disturbing 65-43
vote of the general faculty to
return its delegation to the
gathering. Fr. Victor Newton
S.J. opened the Friday session
with a plea "to re-study the basic
philosophy of what we are doing
here." He cited the faculty's
apprehension over the
acceptability of any document
the convention would produce
without proper clarification of
some very important points.
Retiring into an informal
discussion period. rather than
strict parliamentary procedure.
the assembly discussed various
problems that a faculty
appraisal titled "The Majority
Report" had leyeled a~ainst the
convention.
Faculty Divided
An alternate delegation report
to the general faculty was
presented to the convention, Il
stated, "we have conridence that
the difficulties that we face are
not insuperable and ~iven the
good will which has been the key
note of our activities thus far.
viable and valuable conclusions
will ultimately be reached."
Friday's session concluded
with Dennis Gallagher, student
Goyernment president and
delegate to the convention.
suggesting that ..the faculty has
no confidence in its own abeity
to exercise and maintain its
natural ascendance in the
uniyersity...
Continually using the faculty
rank and tenure committee as an
example of their difficulties. the
faculty delegation explored the
relationship of the tri-partite
senate to this vital committee
under the proposed system.
It was agreed upon that the
Student Government elections
for the positions of president and
treasurer. originally scheduled
for Feb. 2, are now set for Feb. 9.
Chief Justice Thomas Sweeney
ordered the election moved back
one .....eek because the lengthened
semester break did not leave
enough time for Election
Committee procedures and
candidate campaigning.
Mr. Keilty announced his
candidacy to the VOICE on Jan.
20 saying. "At this time the
student body needs someone to
carry through what has
happened in the past two years in
the Student Government."
He has spent two years in the
legislature. serving as majority
whip last term. This year he was
elected majority leader. He has
also been a member of the
University Council and has been
the Gonzaga donn council
chairman for two years. Keilty
is also a delegate to the
Constitutional Convention.
Commenting on what he
considered to be the key issues,
Mr. Keilty pointed to the work of
the Convention, the need for
academic reform. and the role of
theFFPR.
He stated, "The work of the
Constitutional Convention is
primary, any reform would have
to come from within its
frameWork. Within that realm.

Keilty Declares Pres. Candidacy
Election Re-scheduled'lor Feb. 9
Mr. Gallagher enjoyed one
fringe benefit: he got a job offer
in student personnel work at a
state college from a participant
who mistook him for an
administrator rather lhan a
student.
Gregory Keilty, '71, has
announced that he .....iIl be a
candidate for the presidency of
the Student Government for the

An active participant in
Government affairs for the past

and to develop understanding
necessary to resolve
confrontations constructiyely.
The agency hoped eyentually to
prepare a handbook on conflict
prevention and resolution for the
guidance of universities
concerned community leaderS
and businessmen.
According to Gallagher. when
he first thought about going to
such a conference he was very
apprehensive about how others
would react to his presence as a
student. "I expected to be put on
the spot several times by these
men on questions concerning
youth today. campus unrest
building takeovers, etc.,.. rn;
said. But his fears proved
unfounded. ''The participants
were very courteous and at
ti~~s even anxious to hear my
OpinIOns as a student on issues,"
he reflected.
"The businessmen
were sincerely trying to
understand why students are so
uptight on college campuses
today," he stated.
His general summation was
that "although I didn't learn
anything new on conflict
resolution on the campus today, I
did feel a little better when I left
knowing that there were some
people in the older generation
who are trying to prevent
problems in the future by getting
at the rool of the problem."
In. a Friday evening review
sessIOn one of the students
expressed uneasiness about the
methods and procedures of the
conference. Most of the
audience, however, seemed to
react positively. A mayor of a
Massachusetts town stated: "we
didn't really simulate tbe
feelings of a real crisis situation
but it was hopeful to get
together." Another mayor was
caUed out to face a city crisis on
the first nigbt of the conference.
He vowed never to attend a
three-day conference a~ain.

Students, Pres. in Confrontation
Over Holidays in Massachusetts
The President of the
Uniyer.;ity and two students met
in confrontation oyer the
holidays in the comfortable
setting of the Yankee Drummer
Inn in Massachusetts. All
claimed a victory.
At a conference sponsored by
the Law Enforcement Assistant
Administration. Father
Mcinnes, Arthur Gallagher and
Robert Murphy joined 50 other
participants in a three-day
conference on "confrontation."
Representatiyes included
college presidents, mayor.; of
t~wns, businessmen, students,
director.; of urban coalitions and
lawyer.;.
The format of the conference
was the study of cases prepared
by three professor.; from the
Harvard Business School, under
the direction of the Daniel
Yankelovich Research
Corporation, For three days
participants discussed labor
m.lnagement disputes,
discrimination problems and
campus demonstrations.
Students present at the
meeting included members of
the University Senate at
Harvard, the Student President
of the University of
Massachusetts. and a member of
the Student Council at Trinity
College in Hartford. All except
Gallagher and Murphy were
elected representatives from
student bodies.
Representation from Fairfield
was unique in that both the
college President and students
from the same institution were
participants. The students were
selected by Yankelovich because
they had been summer internes
at the University.
The purpose of the conference
was to share and evaluate

After distributing tickets to
traffic regulation violators for
the entire semester, the
revitalized security department
under the direction of James
Barrett, implemented the plan
for the court.
According to a statement
issued by the members, "the
function of the Tri-Partite
Traffic Court will be to
adjudicate all first semester
traffic violations" and the court
will continue through the second.
The administration member is
Ed Boucher, assistant head
resident. The faculty delegate is
Fr. James Murphy, S.J., and the
student is Robert Buccino.
For the first few weeks, the
court will meet three times a
week. each Monday, Wednesday
and Friday, to handle the
considerable backlog of appeals
that have come to the court.
Mr. Boucher feels that the
court can have a good effect and
function well if everyone will
simply consider the traffic court
in a serious but not over-serious
manner.
He said, "The advantage of
this is that there is equal
enforcement for everyone." All
students, faculty and
administrators must respond to
a ticket or be subpoenaed by the
court.
Mr. Boucher also feels that the
court could be instrumental in
gathering evidence to the fact
that there is not enough parking
space on campus.
The court can be contacted
through Box 1258, Ed Boucher's
office in Loyola Hall or Fr.

The commission, charged with
investigating the allegations
brought against University
President the Rev. William C.
McInnes by the student body,
during last spring's disorders,
met for the first time on January
22 to discuss guidelines and

commurjication to defend our
goals, "What are the basic
values of the university and what
do they mean to the different
sectors," he said.
Fr. McInnes also asked us to
consider the four areas on
governance. environment
between student and faculty,
community life and educational
policy, in order that we may be
able to reorganize the
complexities of the life in which
we live and to create a favorable
environment within the
university community.
The issue of the constitutional
convention and the senate was
discussed by Fr. McInnes. We
should not look at the senate as a
problem solving body, for it will
only lead to frustration and
disillusionment to those who
have elated ideas for it, he said.
The president briefly spoke on
the finances of the university,
faculty salaries. neutral fact
finding commission, state aid to
universities, security and
communications.
Fr. Scully also lashed out at
student delegates for not
treating faculty delegates with
respect. He referred to the
incident when students verbally
harassed Mr. Fishman when
he voted against equal
representation in the senate.
Faculty Endone Report
Dr. Coleman then spoke and
viewed the proposed constitution
with misgivings. He stated that
it would be quite a mistake to
give 15 people such immense
power espeCially with students
on the board."
Due to the lack of time further
discussion was curtailed so that
the remainder of the meeting
could continue. In a close vote
the faculty agreed to endorse the
exact wording of the concensus
report. 65·43.

to committee to investigate the
payment of the activities fees.
The legislature nominated and
approved William Striebe to
serve on the student government
election committee and passed a
bill which specified the manner
of nominating student members
to tri-partite boards.
ti'r. Melnnes then posed two
important problems to the
university community: Who will
make the decisions of our life
here'? Most people want more of
a voice in the governance of the
university; however these
people must consider the
question of power and
distribution. What decisions do
we ourselves have to make'? We
have to obtain expertise and
expressed a growmg fear among
the faculty members of the
steam roller tactics in a senate
having equal representation by'
having the administration and
students forming a coalition
against the faculty. "There is no
real faculty position but there
are many faculty factions." Fr.
Scully and Dr. Dew, who spoke
later in the meeting voiced their
approval of faculty
predominance in the senate.
adding that she expects other all­womens'
programs. in
recreation, for instance, will be
made available in the near
future for interested co-eds.
The assistant dean traced the
groups founding back to the
interests expressed by several
freshmen during orientatiQn.
One of the girls. Debby
Henderson. got up a petition with
twenty-five signatures of girls
interested in forming a choral
group. "This," according to Mrs.
Samway, "provided a significant
core of student interests to
warrant starting a chorus."
Mrs. Samway also mentioned
that the girls seemed to be quite
happy with the present situation
and detected no trace .of any
desire to force the men's Glee
Club to open its membership.
Second Semester Outlook
Then the Rev. William C.
McInnes, S.J., university
president, presented a state of
the university address which
gave a favorable outlook towards
the second semester. Father

By William Guerrera
Fr. Scully ApprebeDilve
The Rev. Bernard ~ul1y, S.J.,
Conflicting viewpoints and
opinions were decisively voiced
as splintered faculty factions
argued their individual cases in
Thursdays general faculty
meeting, regarding the approval
or rejection of the proposed new
constitution and the much
debated issue of equal
representation for all three
university sectors versus faculty
predominance in the senate.
As pointed out by Mr.
Donnarumma, the constitution is
nol clearly defined in terms of
the distinction between the dual
legislative and executive roles of
the senate. This is the source of
much confusion and
misunderstanding.
There has existed a common
rule in the legislature that no
organization receive funds from
the student government treasury
until all members of the club
have paid their activities fee.
For this reason two appropria­tion
bills. the first alloUng $850.

second allocated $1.00. to the
Fr. Mcintyre Cautious
On the other hand, the Rev.
John McIntyre, S.J., took a more
cautious and questioning stance:
"1 am not convinced Urat by­getting
36 bodies of different
expertise we are getting
anything done." Fr. McIntyre
expressed a desire to see more
data. statistics and information
on all facts of the government
and would like a research
committee established to study
all the universities or colleges
who have experimented with or
adopted a similar constitution.
Mr. Davis Optimistic
Reflecting optimism and
approval for the constitution was
Mr. Davis who said that "in the
spirit of the convention there is a
real desire to C(lme up with
something which will be of real
benefit to the university
community. The constitution is
not something off of the top of
our heads but has been worked
on for a long time."
Mr. Fishman voiced similar
views: "We have a concensus
that there is some possibility of
progress in the convention." Mr.
Fishman pointed out how
students have changed their
position on the model presented
in the structure of the
government. There is only
disagreement on the
representation in the senate.

D. Gallagher Defends Student Delegates
During Final Speech before Legislature
By Mike Farrell
Last Thursday evening at 8:00
p.m. the student legislature held
it's first session of the spring
semester, which resulted in the
referral of two appropriation
bills back to committee, the
nomination and approval of two
appointments, and the
acceptance of a bill concerning
the procedure of governmental
nominations.
Gallagber Makes
Final Addre'SS
"Certain individuals have
accused the student faction to
the Constitutional Convention of
failing to do their homework.
This accusation is false and
those students involved have
proven it by their
contributions", cited retiring
student government president
Dennis Gallagher.
As a prelUde to the legislative
business at hand. Gallagher
reviewed the demands of last
spring acknowledging the
victory of ten of the 17 outcrys.
Of these seven which haven't
been established only onC!, the
reduction of the core philosophy
credits to six. has been defeated
while the others are tossed
among university factions for
review and discussion.
Neutral Board
Findings, Where To?
"1 strongly advise you to block
any attempt to send the results
of the neutral fact finding board
to the present Board of
Trustees". retorted president
Gallagher in his words to the
legislators. ';Under the terms of
last spring's resolution. the
findings are to be sent to the
enlarged Board of Trustees".
Commenting on the
controversy over the Fairfield
Free Pre6s and Review,
Gallagher urged the assemblage
to support the existence of the
independent student weekly.
In his concluding remarks
Gallagher stated; "Today the
faculty voted 65 to 43 to resume
the Constitutional Convention. It
continues it's work tomorrow
and the interest and
participation of a solid student
body is needed if the goals of tri­partite
governance are to be
formulated".

tunes that we all got together
and played on, but mostly it was
individual. It was a drag because
it could have been a reaJly great
album. A lot of people think it
was, but there could have been
so much more there if we did it
as a group. Tbe fact is Uaat the
only aJbum that we really made
as a group was the first one· the
second one was an ego trip that
just happened, it was probably
what broke the Springfield up.
Neil (Young) just couldn't make

with Steve Stills and Neil Young,
a member of the mythic Buffalo
Springfield. )
VOICE: How was Poco
formed?
FURAY: Well Jimmy
(Messina) and J wanted to keep
on playing music when the
Springfield broke up and we
happened to get Rusty (Young)
to come out and play some steel
guitar on "Kind Woman" and we
asked him if he wanted to play in
the band and he said "yeah." So
we got George, who was playing
drums with Rusty, and then we
started looking around for a bass
player and we had one, Randy
Meisner. who played for us for
about six months, Then Tim
(Schmidt) came along and now
we're up to our present state.

better orr the first aJbum, but I
liked the way we played better

produce Poco's albums?
FURAY: He's going to
produce the one that's coming
out in January. the live one, and
then we're looking around to get
another producer for our next
album. I think that in a way that
it is going to be good for both of
us because he has just been
producing us and it will be good
for him to get into some
different music and we want to
see what someone else can do
with our music.

Cotton will change Poco?

influences ~ going to take us
off into another direction - it will
expand us more, you know.

enthusiastic about moving into

mining town on fanuary 3 and
left on the 10th and the 11th.
During the week of their stay
they painted a chapel and did
repair work on a number of
houses. Speaking for the group,
Rick Pinkowski stated: "We
.....ere able to establish close
relationships with many families
in the area."To say the least it
was ODe of the best spent weeks
of our lives."
Probably more important than
tbe work being done in
Appalachia is the understanding
given in cross-cultural
awareness. As Rich Granville
put it": Something which stood
out among the people of the
KentuckyNirginia area was the
tremendous hospitality with
which they accepted us, The
people were much more personal I
than in the north." One is
affected almost by a sense of
timelessness of the region; in a
rural agricultural setting people
are more direct, more personal,
and less affected by pressures
most people of a middle class
suburban background feel
subjected to. -

After an arduous and rather
boring 13 hour trip nine students
of Fairfield University sUddenly
found themselves in the midst of
an American subculture, the'
rural poor of Appalachia. For
some it was their [Jrst
experience in this type of
environment; others had
experienced some of it before.
All had come with the same
purpose in mind to offer their
services, their physical labor, to
rebuild an America largely
bypassed by the urbanized,
industrial twentieth century. The
first night they were greeted by
a cold rain lasting through most
of the night - a small annoyance,
but by no means dampening
spirits.
Plans for the trip originated in
late fall of 1970. Under the
supervision of Brother AI Behm,
of the Glenmary Order. and witb
a student government grant. a
total of fourteen students
travelled to two different
locations. both Glenmary
missions, to contribute toward
Appalachian redevelopment.
One of the trips was to
Vanceburg, Kentucky. the scene
of previous trips over the past
two years. and the other to Big
Stone Gap, a small, former
mining community in western
Virginia.
Both groups left Fairfield on
Sunday, January 3, and worked
through that week until the
following Saturday. Members of
the Vanceburg group
accompanied by Bro. AI.
included Rich Esperon. Steve
Ferri, Tom Fitch, Ken
MacNulty, Gene Orteneau, Jim
Russo, Kathy Robinson Kathy
Clew, and "Karen", The work to
be done consisted of building a
cabin for a family in eastern
Kentucky with materials
donated by the Holy Redeemer
Church in Vanceburg aDd locaJly
available.
But the first days' work on the
cabin roof was cancelled by rain.
So work was found in preparing
the family's tobacco crop for
market. Tobacco is the major
cash crop throughout most of
eastern Kentucky: a half acre of
a farmer's "tobacco base," what
he is by law allowed to grow,
might yield $1000 when properly
cultivated. And before a crop is
taken to market the leaves must
first be stripped from Ihe stalks
and "handed up." a process of
tying together as many leaves as
one can hold in a hand,
consequently the name. After
the leaves are "handed," they
are pressed, and tben cured at
the warehouse where they are
eventually sold.
The following morning the
weather conditions cleared

To the Editor:
We wish to eJ:press our
concern with the trend in
advertising exhibited in the
November 18 and December 2
editions of the F.F.P. & R.,
specifically the two
advertisements soliciting
abortion referral. This type of
advertisement would seem to us
to be at odds with the objectives
of this university. specifically
that we have an institutional
commitment to Christian
principles. As faculty members
we would take a position
strongly against further
advertisements' of this type.
We are in full agreement with
the policies of the University
regarding freedom of discussion
on' any topic. We feel this
advertisement did not constitute
discussion.
The published reply to an
earlier letter (December 2
edition of F.F.P. & R.) would
appear to place expediency
before principle in the order of
priorities.

Appreciation
To the Editor:
This past summer several
Fairfield students donated part
of their time to work helping to
reoovate' an old house into a
mental health center. They laid
floors. plastered walls. and put
in plumbing and a sink. We want
these students to know that we
are certainly appreciative of
their work. It would have been
impossible to start the mental
health program at this time
without the help of concerned
citizens like these students.
We're happy to announce that
the center is now open and is
becoming more firmly
established every day. Mental
health services have long been
needed in this area. We operate

Parents' Meeting
To the Editor:
Recently a Parents
Association meeting was held on
Long Island for the parents of
students who live in Nassau and
Suffolk Counties. Those
attending found It most
constructive as they had an
opportunity to review subjects of
interest to them as well as
question certain articles which
have appeared in the Fairfield
Voice.
Representing the University
were Mr. William SChimf, Dean
of Students. his assistant Mr.
Henry Krell and Mr. Robert
Formoe. Director of
Development. The meeting for
the most part was held as a
workshop with the group divided
into thirds to discuss within each
group a series of subjects
pertinent to the University, the.
administration, faculty and
students. An oral report was
given by each group on the
results of their discussions. The
remainder of the two hour
meeting was devoted to
questions from the floor directed
to the Fairfield representatives.
All present were most impressed
with the "TELL IT AS IT IS"
responses which were expressed
by the Fairfield administration.

Facts Distorted
To the Editor:
Your December 3 issue runs
the lead headline, "Freshman
Takes Gov't to Court Over
Newspaper Funding Issue", and,
under that. information relating
to the suit Mr. Vincent D'Angelo
brought against the FPR.
On Novem~r 23, the Student
Court heard two cases. First,'a
suit by Mr. George Carzastas vs.
YIC's use and obtaining of
Government money for political
purposes; next. Mr. D'Angelo's
suit against the FPR. The
Justices caucused that night,
categorically rejected both suits
by s-o votes, and began on
Tuesday morning to verbally
inform all participants as part of
public knowledge prior to
publishing their verdicts on
November 30, after vacation.
Yet your article, prepared for
publication on December I,
omits all but one of these facts.
It does not mention that VIC and
the FPR were both challenged,
nor that both suits lost. It
mentions - in banner headline
and lead story - only that the
FPR was challenged and the
Government in court no verdict.
It seems to me that such
assiduous screening of the facts
until you arpved at one, which
printed alone. would provide
maximum embarrassment to
your competition and maximum
distortion' to others in the
community represents a new low
in catcalling journalism.

Mrs. Miriam Moore, President meaning of these .....ords. the
We Care Mental Health Group Convention tand 'tny like it in the
future) is doomed to one basic
and all·important problem: that
of defining the system of
governance best suited for a
university which they (the
delegates) can't even define.
While something workable may
come out of such discussions. the
best solution to our current
problems of unrest and
frustration \ intermingled with a
little old-fashioned anger and
madness I can only be found if
every delegate to the convention
is referring to the same concept
or idea when using the word
··university.··
In order to find out what we
mean when referring to the
"university community'" we
must find out what the
"university" is. or .....hat the
essentials of a university are. I
feel that in its truest sense. a
university is the intellectual
and human discourse and
learning that takes place
between a teaching body. the
faculty, and a student body. as
well as the discourse and
learning that takes place
internally within these t.....o
groups. But first and foremost. a
university is that first area of
learning: between students and
faculty. Do not form the opinion
that I am restricting this only to
the classroom. rather. I do
recognize that a good part of this
occurs outside the classroom. in
an informal atmosphere.
What a unr.enity ~. and
whatever segments are
necessary for the existence of
the university on an ideal level
are what we should term the
"university community," The
fact that a school such as
Housatonic Community College
can exist proves that the only
truely essential of a university
are the students and faculty.
This leads us to a problem
concerning the administration:
IContinued on PageS}

Election Process
. "They were picked by the administration to make
sure they weren't too radical."
"They're not really tri-partite - there are more
administrators than anyone else and one of the students
is really part of the administration."
"They're not really representative of the faculty or
the student body!"
Remarks like these have frequently been made about
this editorial board by various members of the
university community. As an interim board we have
been charged with the responsibility of setting up an
election process for future editorial boards of this
paper and after much deliberation have arrived at a
method which we hope wHi satisfy our critics by
including all sectors of the university in the election.
We have sent letters to the academic council, the
administrative board and the student government
executive board inviting them to submit a list of
candidates who they feel are qualified to be members
of this board.
At the same time we ask that anyone who wishes to
serve on this board or knows of someone who is
qualified to submit their name to the managing editor,
Thomas Dewey, whose office is located in Loyola UD.
All nominations will be closed on February 5 and then
the present editorial board will vote their successors
from the lists provided the three boards and the list
compiled by the managing editor. The new editorial
board will begin their work the week of February "15·
We cordially invite all members of the university to
help us in this selection process. Please RSVP!
Even the most strident of the spokeswomen for
Women's Lib do not suggest that women are not
different from men: in fact, they celebrate the
difference. However, they do most urgently point out
that although different, they are equal! They urge
women to review their lives and the choices that they
have made or that have been made for them which
might have been different were they men. For
example. how many women are secretaries instead of
dentists because the education of the men in the family
was given first priority? How many women become
nurses instead 'of doctors and anticipate an annual
income of $8,000 as opposed to $4O,OOO? How many
women remain unmarried because the assumption was
made that it is the dau~hter's role to take care of aged
parents?
Such a mental review sounds like an intriguing
exercise, for both men and women alike, and it is
perhaps appropriate to suggest it now·that women have
been on our campus for more than five months. Women
have the opportunity to think of the choices that ·they
have made since coming to Fairfield, which may have
been affected by their own willingness, sometimes even
eagerness to accept without question society's
estimate of them. Men have the opportunity to test out
some of the more general assumptions about women.
Are they really mostly interested in hairdo's and
dates? Are they really giving first priority to getting a
husband rather than a degree? Is their only role on
campus to be to brighten it and perhaps act as an
antidote to Sprin~ unrest? How many of these kinds of
statements are accepted without much attention given
to the overwhelming evidence to the contrary? Or are
these anti-feminist statements merely regarded as
jokes rather than reflecting a condescending attitude.
Some reflection of this kind should not only yield data
about personal attitudes toward women long since
- taken for granted, it might also give insight about what
it is like to be a member of a ~roup preceived as
different, and how frustrating it must be to have
assumptions made which often cannot be challenged
because they aren't even expressed, or if they are
expressed are done so in a quasi-humorous manner
which cuts off any attempt of serious rebuttal.
One hears a great deal about the preservation of
academic freedom being the first priority on college
campuses everywhere. It might be pointed out that one
of the dimensions of academic freedom is openness to
change, and another is the willingness to learn.
[t is in this spirit of inquiry that we ask all members
of the Fairfield community to reassess their altitudes
toward women and their role in the university's
society.

Students Endorse
New Intersession
If the members of the
President's Academy are
reliable indicators. the new
semester arrangement and the
long January break .....ere a huge
success.
In a discussion of the mid­semester
break at the January 18
meeting the students endorsed
almost unanimously the system.
The major reason for their
approval of the program was not
having to come back to exams.
The general opinion was, "We
like it very much as it is," They
would also favor continuing the
present arrangement next year.
Some concern was voiced
about the rush before the
Christmas holiday. It was
suggested by a sophomore that
teachers should allow papers to
be done over the vacation.
Another student suggested that
school should start even earlier
in the fall. before Labor Day if
necessary. This idea, however,
was ruled out by most of the
others. One member indicated
that it did dampen the pre­Christmas
parties but also
helped. his work experience
during lhe January vacation. He
said, "Most people thought it
stunk on December 18: today
everyone thinks it is great."
A lone dissenter spoke against
the new schedule on the grounds
that he had to rush through his
courses and he didn't learn very
much. Another voiced the
objection that it was hard to find
a job because of the late ending
of exams before Christmas and
suggested that somehow exams
be moved up.
Asenior found a benefit in the
semester break by having time
to visit graduate schools. It was,
in his opinion, "a worthwhile
break for seniors,"
Surprisingly, several were
able -to find work after
Christmas even in the face of
depressed economic conditions
around lhe country.
During the second hour of the
President's Academy Father
John Mcintyre brought members
up to date on the work of the
Constitutional Convention,
controls the direction which his
culture takes, all future
developments are unnatural to a
degree. so it is with the Board of
Trustees and this university.
There is one difference,
however: when the university
has an unnatural direction or
harness. it ceases to exist as a
university. and it becomes
something entirely different.
which should be renamed as I
mentioned before.
While this may briefly outline
my ideas of the ideal university
and its governance, there is at
least one important point which
must be realized before any
changes can be fairly made, This
point is that many
administrators are genuinely
concerned with Fairfield, and
"love" this school as much as
any faculty member or student,
Although this point is well
taken, there are two responses
which can be made. The first is:
"So What?" This love is true of
any group of people working for
any institution. Also, this might
be the expected feelings of a
corps of offiCi! help who are
given a privileged Ifaculty)
status......hen they would not get
such treatment elsewhere, The
second response is that his love
of the school is good. and
provides a possible means of
transforming the administration
into a body of true members of
the community. Jr this were
done, then perhaps .....e should
begin considering the
administration for a role in the
policy - for,!!ing role in this
community. I don't know how
such a transformation could be
effected. but would suggest lhat
such a transformation would
require a voluntary sacrifice of
administration's individual
private time. I say this because
no member of this community
can be a '"9-5'er": it requires a
• THE UNIVERSITY VOICE
illustrate this principle. lel us
assume that six students and one
faculty member are discussing
the outline for a course. Despite
the fact that the faculty
member is outnumbered six-to­one,
he would still be the most
influential factor in the final
decision. because his superior
knowledge of the matter at hand
.....ould naturally rise to a position
of authority. Please note that I
did not say a position of power,
no, the power must always be
held by the community. but a
university community should
always be open minded enough
to allow the authority to be
recognized. and use that power
accordingly. Through this
natural rise or authority, we can
eliminate both weighted
representation and faculty
representation in University
governance. Rather, the
governing body of the University
should be comprised of an equal
number of students and faculty
members. This body would. of
course, call in the administrator
in whose field a particular
problem lies before making a
decision in that area. in order to
get his opinion on the matter.
In so far as the Board of
Trustees and the University's
charter is concerned. we must
first realize that the present
Board of Trustees is a
perversion of what this Board
should be. Are they supposed to
be a collective king, ruling this
university to suit their particular
goals and idea of success? If so,
perhaps a re-naming of this
institution would be in order, and
I would respectfully suggest
something in the order of "The
Fairfield Manufacturers of
Establishment Replacement
Parts, Inc:' Any such external
direction of intellectual
discourse and learning makes
those processes synthetic and
unreal, and therefore something
quite different.
Or. is the Board of Trustees
simply the body which is given
the public trust of protecting a
university from any influences
which would hann or eliminate
it: much the same way in ....llich
a scientist protects his
experimental cultures from lack
of food, or excessive outside
influences? This. I feel is the
true function of the Board of
Trustees. Just as' the' scientist
protects the environment of his
culture and lets it take its
natural course. so must the
Board of Trustees also let this
university take its natural
course. As soon as the scientist
where do they fit into this
community, or do they? My
answer is that the
administration is not part of the
university commuDity, While
they are necessary to the
running of this school in one
sense. they are not inherently
necessary, but rather needed in a
practical sense, due to the
factors that are introduced by
the presence of the political
structure known as the state, and
the society in which the
university is placed. Their
reason for existence, in so far as
the university is concerned, is
merely to free the members of
the university community from
the responsibilities involved in
carrying out the policy which the
community has decided on in
regards to external relations,
They should not be allowed to
participate in policy-making
decisions, except in an advisory
capacity. Looking at the position
which we (Hopefully, but
probably II have arrived at.
hOwever. we must realize that
neither the faculty nor the
student body alone comprises a
university community. but only
both together: without a faculty.
a student body .....ould not be a
OOdy of students. and by the
same token, without a student
body, a faculty .....ould not be a
teaching body. Therefore, .....hen I
say that the community should
make policy decisions, I mean
both the faculty and students. If
the students alone make all the
decisions, it would be
community governance, and visa
versa.
Then there comes the question
of qualification. "Who do the
students think they are. that they
should run this school?" you
hear the administration cry!
This is a question that requires
certain realizations concerning
both students and human nature
in order to arrive at an ans.....er.
In the first place. the students
are as necessary to the
university as the faculty is. and
even more essential than the
administration. In the second

yourselves? Have I not given you
wonderous gifts?"
And the leader of the race of
students answered boldly saying,
"Lord. we have been persecuted
at the hands of the others. Make
us equal and there will be
peace."
And so it was. God created
tripartite government and a
Constitutional Convention. and a
University Senate. And ail men
were equal before the sigbt of
the Lord.
Then God sat back to rest. But
still the races of men strove to
overcome one another. And
God's wrath was terrible to
behold.
Then the Lord appeared in a
vision to the leader of the race of
teachers.
"What do you want?"
"Lord. that we might have
more money."
And so it was. God saw fit to
give the teachers a higher salary
and added an extra day off each
week so that the restless spirit of
man might be quieted. And
peace came that day to the races
of men.
Then God sat back to rest. but
He saw that man was again
growing discontent. And He
asked the leader of the race of
administrators. "What do you
want?"
"Lord. there is need of a new'
building. "
And so it was. God raise<! up a
mighty structure. and He called
it Bannow. And God saw that it
was good.
Still man was not satisfied and
God determined to punish him
for his sins. He summoned the
Archangel Michael and said.
"Look. see how man grows in sin
and error. I shall be lenient no
longer...
First the voice of the Lord
came to his servant.
"I am displeased with tbe
conduct of man. And you are to
be the instrument of his penalty.
Go. therefore. take up thy pen
and write. For to suffer through
your writing is a greater torture
than all the fires of bell. ,.
And so it is. The servant of the
Lord is destined to make public
whatever be chooses. And each
week man must endure. for this
is the Will of God.

In the beginning God created
knowledge. But the knowledge
was without form and man could

there be Fairfield University."
And there arose a Corporation.
and God saw that the
Corporation was good.
And God said. "Let there be
buildings in wbich man can be

created Bellarmine; and
Bellarmine begat Xavier; and

saw that all He had made was

And so it was. The parking lots
filled with cars. and lines began
to grow outside the bookstore

pleased with what He saw.
Then God sat back to rest, but
He noticed that all was not well.
Dissension. hatred, and jealousy
had split the ranks of men as the
three races sought to gain power
and dominion over each other.
And God was displeased with

FollowlnlZ a long delay. the
university's newly formed tri­partite
undergraduate
scholarship committee will hold
its initial meeting tomorrow
afternoon In the University's
Campus Center.
According to the Rev. George
Gallarelli. chainnan of the
twelve member ad hoc group.
the holdup was due to some
confusion among members of the
faculty as to the status of tbe
already existing faculty
committee on scholarsbips and
admissions.
The committee originated
from a proposal submitted to the
Administrative Board last July
by student intern Robert Buccino
'71 and was officially formed by
the Rev. William C. Mcinnes.
S.J .. university president.
Original Proposal
Although the original proposal
stated its purpose as "awarding
an annual (or semi-aMua))
review of scholarships issued to
students of the university," Fr.
Gallarelli explained last week
that the tri-partite group will
only review scholarships once
they have been awarded while
the faculty committee will still
take care of making the
freshman awards.
According to the proposal as
well as Fr. Gallarelli, the
operating criteria for awarding
and/or presenting scholarships
and for the operation of the
committee shall be determined
by the group's members.
Buccino's proposal stressed
that the annual review was
necessary to be sure that all
students continuing on grants
have fulfilled the stipulated
requirements of their grant.
Members of the committee
include: administrators, the
Rev. James Coughlin, Mr.
William Schimpf, Mr. William
Lucas, and Fr. Gallarelli;
students, Timothy Grace. Paul
Cunningham, Howard Rolle and
Robert Buccino; and faculty

its impact on the environment."

through pressure on the

Although she made no
concrete proposals for the state.
she did feel that Connecticut will
give. "serious thought to the
establishment of a new state
agency which will provide
detailed review. and approval or
denial of electric power plant
sites and extra high voltage
transmission lines. with due
regard to the environmental
effects of sucb locations."
Mr. Gordon Notes

In his preslUltation Mr. Gordon

owes the environmentalist a
great debt of gratitude. for at

to the vital importance of
protecting our environment."
hut took exception to Dr.
KauniU's remark regarding the
utilities.
Mr. Gordon pointed out that
New England faces "a possible
future crisis in power supply
which would leave us - some
years from now - looking back on
our present period of tight power
supply. and too frequent voltage
reductions. as a period of
relative abundance."

He believes that an impartial
stale tribunal to review utilities
proposals for a new power
project should be formed. His
solution suggests that a
"mechanism must be
established in each state for a
single proceeding whereby each

presented and reviewed:

"Earth Day. 1970 was a

Kaunitz a Westport urbanologist
as she addressed a group of ISO
people at the University's
Community Forum last week.
The panel. moderated by JOM
J. McCarthy Jr. director of
Bridgeport's Air Pollution

Kaunitz and Angus N. Gordon
president of the United

agreed that the public has been
awakened to the vital
importance of protecting our
environment.
Dr. Kauniu. a member of the
Governor's Committee on
Environmental Policy and the

stated that, "1970 will be

shooters in the area who have an
eye for the hoop like George
Groom, who despite his below
par night against the
Catamounts still managed to
maintain a 20 point scoring
averaRe.
MelBrown has really loosened
up in recent contests and given
the Stags quite a boost in the
scoring department while
sophomore Steve Romano. with
his aggressive style of play, has
earned a startin,e: berth,
Not quite enough can be said
about the consistent play of the
Stags' capatin Mark Frazer. The
6'6:' forward is averaging 14.2
POints and 15.7 rebounds per
game. His transition from his
lackadaisical style of play of
last yejllr to constant hustle and
leadership this season has been a
significant factor in the Stags'
recent surge.
Barakat has been receiving
some fine bench support lately
from guards Tom Finch and Pat
Foley and forward Gary Bowen.
Bowen plays possibly one of the
better Ooor games of the Stag
big men as he has come up with
many key blocks, steals and
rebounds in recent play.
So once again the Stags hit a
series of tough opponents
starting this Monday against
Georgetown followed by road
trips to play the Bonnies
Villanova and Holy Cross. i.
tough road is ahead but it
wouldn't surprise us if the Stags
pulled a surprise or two against
this tough competition.

yearlings in an unllSual clash
against Ivy League competition.
Their next home appearance is
next Monday vs. Bryant and
Stratton Jr. College prior to the

Big Wla Over Vacatloa
The junior Stags, boasting an
outstanding 7-1 record going Into
last night's contest with
Robinson Prep SChool. continued
to knock off opponents during the
holiday break by chalking up
victories over Manhattan
College. S1. Thomas Moore Prep
and St. Peter's College. Strong

games enabled them to pick up

George Groom. The team work I
displayed that ni,e:ht was I
heartening as captain Mark
Frazer picked off 17 rebounds

Kelly, Gary Bowen. Steve
Romano and Mel Brown all did
their good share. The Stags hung
in there against Canisius a few
nights later and escaped with a
~3 victor)' to improve their
record to 3 and 5.
About three weeks ago,
perhaps not so coincidentally
after the Stags' dismal venture
in the Hall of Fame Basketball
Tournament, I found myself
falling into the category of a
"fairweather fan." I'll admit
that it only took a trio of big wins
by Fred Barakat's crew over
Manhattan. Canisius and S1.
Peter's to restore my interest.
Many fans suffer from the
"love only a winner" complex
and I don't claim immunity to
the disease by any means. Arter
witnessing the Stags drop five
straiRht games after an opening
game win over heavily
underdogged Southern
Connecticut any illusions of
grandeur I had regarding this
year's squad were promptly
wiped out.
It should be noted. not as an
excuse but as fact, that this
year's varsity is a young team
with a new coach - ingredients.
which can really spell confusion
until the players have matured
under their new leader Fred
Barakat.
The month of December was a
hectic one for the Stags as they
took on three top night New
England powers in BC,
Providence and UMass and also
St. Joe's and came out on the
short end in each battle.-Closing
out the month of December was
a humiliating defeat at the hands
of Springfield College.
Things simply were not
clicking for the Barakatmen.
Watching them perform was no
treat· their offense was slugRish
and they just weren't playing
together.
Coach Barakat feels the Hall
of Fame Tournament was a
turning point in the Stags' early
season, stating. "We didn't
really look at the tournament as
a terrible erperience. rather as a
point when each player began to
understand his own role - just
what he could do and what we
expected him to do."

BY BOB BLAlR
These two wins were big
morale boosters and also
presented Coach Barakat with
his first taste of victory over
major competition.
The 88-74 loss to a strong
Niagara club dropped the Stap
to 3-6 but a bright sport was
George Groom's 3S point output
despite constant double team
pressure by the Purple Eagles.
Barakat's charges bounced
back however to knock off St.
Peter's 79-66 and in the process
held the run and shoot Peacocks
well below their 98 point
average.
Although the Stags have been
less than awesome in their last
two contests, aRainst UB and
Vermont, they have served
notice that they will be no
pushover for the numerous big
shot opponents they'll talte on in
the next month. Iocluded among
these are nationally ranked
Villanova, Fordham and St.
Bonaventure.
Coach Barakat bas molded a
solid starting unit with all five
players really coming into their
own of late. Bob Kelly has
assumed almost soley the
responsibility of handling the
ball and has performed
_ admirably under such pressure.
