the college sent a decision.
Students most frequently
applied to Catholic colleges on
the east coast as well as the
UniverSity or Connecticut.
Results suggest that Fairfield is
competitive with all these
schools.
A sample of the survey shows:
67 of our frosh applied to Boston
College. 51 were accepted while
only 13 were turned down: 21 of
the 38 who sought entrance to
Holy Cross received the nod
while 17 were lold no; Only 4 of

over two years ago. when the
Washington school turned away
more than 50 per cent of our
frosh who applied there. Also.
Notre Dame accepted 13 of 2(

years ago, the mid-western
school refused admittance to
more than 2/3 of our first year
men who had applied there.
Some Ivy Acceptances
No freshman here who applied
to either Providence or St.
Bonaventure were turned down.
while Villanova accepted 38 and
rejected 5. The report indicates
that at all other Cathol ic
Colleges equivalently none were
rejected.
While the report clearly shows
that Fairfield does not compele
with Ivy League schools for
students, it does specify that 22
members of the dass of 1975 also
received acceptances at Ivy
schools.

accommodate the final goal of
2400 undergraduate students.
Dr. Barone announced last
week that the $1.5 million bid of
Edwin Moss and Son Inc. was the
lowest, of the seven construction
estimates submitted.
The bid was considerably
lower than the university
expected, according to Dr.
Barone.
Similar to the recently
completed Southeast Dorm. the
new building will have fifty four­bed
suites in both the male and
the female wings.
The two will be separated by
locked doors. as in the other "CO­ed"
dorms.
'Unlike Southeast, the two
wings will be joined into one "L"
shaped structure. with lounge
and study areas located on th(:
common end of each floor.
Dr. Barone stated that the cost
of the separate lounge area, and
the apparent usefulness it
serves. make the £loor lounges
more practical.
The outside of the dorm will be
brick. with a decorative and
functional "balcony" below each
window. The outside fixtures
will house the healing and
cooling units which will not
protrude into the room itself.
Masonry bearing walls and
precast concrete plank floors
and ceilings will be used again.
The entire building will be
carpeted.
"The walls and ceilings will be
covered with some suitable
substance. not like the substance
used in Southeast," stated Dr.
Barone.

The possibility of airing all

the ApproprialionsCommittee of

request.
Sports. especially away
games. account for the largest
part of the station's budget. Last
year. for instance, an average
away basketball game cost
between $80 and $100 for
telephone bills alone.
NegQtialions are underway to
obtain a broadcasting franchise
from a local station which wants
sole rights to air university
basketball games.
"College Show"
According to Bill O'Neil,
program director, new features
include, "College Show",
presented weekly on Sunday
from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 a.m.,
Timothy Grace, and
administrator William P.
Schimpf to a group of about 40
parents gathered for the
program. Most of the ensuing
discussion concerned this topic.
Though the teacher's name
was never mentioned during the
discussion, he is Dr. Augustine
Caffery who teaches in the
religious studies department. A
tenured professor, Dr. Caffery
took a leave of absence from the
university approximately one
year ago and subsequently left
the Jesuits.
In an attempt to answer the
distressed mother, Timothy
Grace stressed to her that the
course in question is concerned
with comparative religions, and
not Catholic theology per se. He
also noted that in his freshman
year both a Jewish rabbi and a
Protestant minister taught the
same course. Mr. Schimpf
emphasized that this class was
just one of the many religious
experiences available to the girl
on campu~ noting for instance
that a Catholic housemaster was
available in every residence hall
on campus.
The mother expressed concern
that the professor would impose
too much of his own opinion on
the particular class. "Where will
her guidance come from," she
asked.
Mr. Davis admitted that no
course completely veid of the
teachers opinion can be offered,
but noted that this is just: one of
the many influences that the
student will experience as a
result of her courses at
Fairfield.
During a speech made
following dinner, the Rev.
William C. Mcinnes, S.J.,
president of the university. made
reference to the issue, stating
that the university plans to take
every legal means possible to
resolve the issue.

With !.he close of last week's

The objective of the

be to enforce effectively the

Crucial Year
In Sheridan's opinion. this year
is a crucial one for the success of
the RHA. He emphasized that
both organization members and
dormitory residents must realize
the necessity of a resident hall
association. Sheridan explained

SherKian also commented on
the fact that due to the
separation of dorm council and
student legislature, there is no
problem of overlapping
interests. He went on to say that
each member will know exactly
what his duties· and
responsibilities are in the RHA.
Another favorable [actor,
resulting from this dorm and
legislature separation. is cited
by the RHA chairman as an
improved system of
representation. RHA members
are spread out throughout each
dorm. with two members
representing one dormitory
floor.
Besides its regular duties. the
association will institute several
dorm programs. These
programs will include various
recreational activities for the
dorm resKients.

approval that the Maintenance

Action AwareDess Day
At its first meeting of the year.
held last Monday. September 'J:1,
the members of the Council
agreed to designate Wednesday,
October 6 as Social Action
Awareness Day, The various
booths and displays set up in the
Campu~ Center lobby yesterday
were designed to introduce
students to the organizations
comprising the Council.
Among the actiVities
represented in the VPC this year
are the YIC, the Cardinal Key
Society, the Knights of
Columbus, and a number of
independently-TUn groups. Most
important of the latter is the
tutoring project established last
year by Sophomore Ed
Rodr~uez.
Rodrieguez's program is
unaffiliated with any university
organization. but volunteers are
sought through the VPC. Mr.
Looney feels that other such
privately-founded groups may be
helped by the Programs Council.
Mrs. Brown believes that part
of the textbook problem would be
relievd if m( mbers of
departments decided upon one
general text for their specific
field. While such an agreement
might facilitate business
transactions, it would prove a
definite detriment to academic
pursuits.

Mrs. Brown, is theft. Due to a
substantial inclease in stealing,
bookstore employees are
considering barring customers
from the store, and using
runners to obtain purchases.
Shoppers, then, would have to
present a list of their needs to a
store employee, and wait for
them to be obtained by a student
runner. Such a method would be
time-eonsuming and frustrating
both to consumers and bookstore
employees. However, stated
Mrs. Brown, the possibility for
such an innovation exists.
Some faculty members state ~ Mrs. Brown further
otherwise. One professor noted
Mrs. Brown stated that all
books sold at the campus store
are priced by their respective
publishers. The bookstore
employees merely sell them to
students at the publishers'
prescribed amount. The
manager stated further that
faculty members are sent letters
in April reminding them to order
book.s by early May. If this
recommendation is followed,
claims Mrs, Brown, late­arriving
book.s will be due to the
publishers' errors and not the
bookstore's inefficiency,

In recent weeks the Campus
Bookstore has become a
controversial topic among
students and faculty alike.
Students claim the store
overprices its commodities.
Faculty members lament the
non-arrival of textbooks. When
approached concerning the
complaints, Mrs. Brown,
bookstore manager, responded
in defense of the store.
As student involvement in
social and charitable programs
continues to grow. the Volunteer
Programs Council has achieved
greater importance than ever.
Founded one year ago under
the direction of Peter Madonia,
then Administrative Assistant in
Student services, the Council is a
loosely organized association
composed of student
representatives from the many
socially active groups on
campus. The members, who
meet at regular intervals
throughout the school year
(usually once a week). aim not
to initiate projects within the
Council, but to inform each other
what their own particular
organizations are planning.
Consequently, the Council serves
as a communications center,
from which information
regarding upcoming social
programs can be disseminated to
the student body.
Prevent Duplication
This year's director, Timothy
Looney, who is also the school's
new judicial officer, is confKlent
that through the efforts of the
Council, existent social
programs can be more
efficiently run. In addition to its
function as a center of
communications, the VPC exists
to prevent duplication of specific
projects. Thus, the Youth

In an attempt to get his offense

different quarterbacks. Pat
Collier started but was hurt and
replaced for part of the first half
by Lou Albertini. The second half

at the reins. However. Collier
came back and Albertini was
also used.
Renecting on the game Coacb
Carta very frankly said that the
team played a very bad game.
"Iona was not as big as King's
but we were particularly bad on
offense. We need a quarterback
and I am going to make some
adjustments in the offensive line
this week. To say the least I was
very disappointed."

Coming off a 34-0 shellacking
last Friday night at the hands of
lona, the lronmen will travel to
North Easton Massachusetts this
Saturday to lake on the Stonchill
College Chieftains.
Stonehill had its season opener
this past weekend and in hard
fought defensive match against
St. Michael's lhey came up on
the short end of a 6-0 score. The
Chieftains do not present much
of an offensive threat, but
according to their coach Dave
Knight pride themselves in
having a strong defensive unit.
StonehiJrs offensive and
defensive squads are relatively
inexperienced so if Coach Carta
can put an offensive attack
together the Stags can look
forward to their first victory.
Last .....eek·s encounter with
lona was marked by a complete
offensive collapse and a valiant
although futile effort by the
defense.
lona scored twice in tbe first
quarter. Less than three minutes
into the Ji:ame Gael quarterback
Brian Conery hit end Barry
Molloy for 36 yards and a
touchdown.
Fairfield .....as completely
stopped offensively and had to
give up the ball after running off
only short series of plays.
With the Gael offensive
machine moving Collery again
teamed up with Molloy for
another score of 44 yards with
t:24 left.
The second quarter only added
to Fairfield's woes. Kicking
from its own one yard line and a
bad snap from center led to a
safety and two more points for
lona.
The half was drawing 10 a
close when lona scored its third
touchdown. Beginning its drive
on the Fairfield 45 Gael
quarterback Collery swept
around left end for nine yards
and the score with only four
seconds remaining in the half.
Receiving the second half
kickoff Fairfield put together its
only sustained drive of the game
only to see it stopped on the lona
one yard line. Halfback Choo
Choo Harbor returned the
opening kickoff to the lona 39.
Two plays later Harbor again
carried for a first and ten on the

On a quarterback sneak
Fairfield had a first and goal

toughened and on a fourth and

However. the Black K ni ghts
managed to move the ball from
deep in their own territory down
to the Fairfield 30 yard line with
only four minutes left in the
game. The Cadets then won a
line-out and scored as they
overlapped the Fairfield
backfield.
For the Red Ruggers it was a
tough loss. as they had scored
first, fallen behind. and then
come back to take the lead and
seemingly put the game away.
The game opened with hard
hitting on both sides. as action

Barakat was especially

formerly of WNAB. is one of the
best play by play men in New

Ritzert has a tremendous local

WICC to Cover Stags
Radio Station WICC

cover the Stags play by play. The
AM station has contracted to
cover all Fairfield basketball
games this season. In the
process, they forfeited the
regular season coverage of the
New York Knicks in an attempt
to add a more local flavor to
their broadcasting.
This will mark the first time
an outside radio station has
covered the Stags since the 1965­66
season when George Bisacca's
cagers racked up a 19-5 record.
After that Fairfield took its
basketball to New Haven and
strict broadcast regulations
were imposed by the Arena
management, which prevented
further covera~e.
Both AthletiC Director Don

elated with ICC's agreement to
cover the Stags.
