Peck Resigns
Grace to Head Voice
Timothy Grace '73 will assume
the job of editor·in-chief of the
University Voice this year,
replacing Richard Peck who
resigned from the post last June.
The move, announced by
Darrell W. Ryan. director of
university relations and
publisher-designate of the Voice,
marks the first time a student
has filled the head role since the
journal made its debut on
campus last October.
Following the announcement.
Grace named fived additional
students who will fill major
positions on the university
paper's staff this year. All will
receive tuition stipends for their
service.
A sociology major. Grace has
been active in campus
journalism since he transferred
to Fairfield from the College of
Insurance. N.Y. City, in the fall
of 1969.
Last year he helped create the
original proposal for the
University Voice and served as
its news editor throughout the
year.
He also worked during his first
year at Fairfield as the layout

the managing editor of the Stag.

FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY, FAIRFIELD, CONNECTICUT
THE
VOL. Z, NO. Z
By Timotby J. Gr.ce
It's like getting a baseball
glove that you've wanteQ for
months on a white Christmas.
Many of the nation's two
million college students living
and attending school away from
home are in the midst of just a
predicament. Most of them are
newly enfranchised volers but a
good number are sure to have
trouble trying to register or vote
in their college towns.
The argument over the
legitimacy of college resnenls
in the town or slale of their
school is an old one, but July's
passing of the 26th Amendment
which created 11.3 -million
potential new voters between 18
and 21 has brought the
simmering problem to a head in
many areas.
Court cases have been
generated in at least 11 states
and proposals for new unified
registration projeets were made
by several United States
senators. as a result of the
question. Some Congressmen are
attempting to keep students back
home by making absentee voting
• the only alternative to voting at
school - more attractive.
ToWDqeople Alraid
If they are foreed to travel
some distance home to register
and vote, or use the absentee
ballot - a process made difficult
by some state laws - students
argue that they will be
effectively disenfranchised of
their newly attained. rights.
On the other hand,
townspeople, in areas such as
Amherst. Mass. where students
outnumber them, answer that
it's not fair for voters who pay
little or no tues to be able to
tate over the local government.
The issue will undoubtedly
make it to the Supreme Court ...
someday. But, in the meantime,
local voting officials are holding
all the cards. They have been
asked to rule on a growing
number of requests from college
students who want to register
where they go to school."
Here's where the difficulty
comes in because registrars
have been known to apply
somewhat of a double standard
to studenls as opposed to
transient businessmen, for
example. The Association of
Students for Voter Registration
reported that "harassment" of
students by local boards took
place in about 10 per cent of 140
college towns where student
governments were surveyed
follOWing the 1970 congressional
elections.
These actions taken by some
officials must be arbitrary,
however, because in other places
such as New London,
Connecticut, students away from
home don't have any trouble
registering.
"By law, we cannot refuse to
pennit them to register as
voters if they meet the sis:

Clark in an interview with the

housing in the halls will also be

Currently in his second year at

division of counseling and higher
education. A Fairfield graduate,
he received his degree in
sociology in 1970. He was a

Two other graduate students.
Donald Omahan and John

resident positions this year. Both
men were residence hall
coordinators last year. Omahan

The head residents basically
function as the Bouchers' "field

responsible for the

of seven residence halls. Theirs
is much more of a night time job.
Omahan and McEnroe wilt
directly supervise the residence
hall staff which include
residence hall coordinators

students).
A graduate of Keynon College
in Gambier. Ohio, Omahan

Dr. Curtis W. Tarr. Selective

including the abolishment of
student deferments is expected
by the end of the month.
The bill. recently passed by the
House. still allows for college
students who were enrolled fulltime
in the 197~71 academic
year. to' be eligible for student
deferments in the 1971-72 school
year, if they continue to make
satisfactory progress in their
program of study. However.
young men who entered school
for the first time this summer
and those who enrolled as
freshmen this fall will not
qualify for student deferments if
Congress passes the pending
changes to the draft Jaw.
Regarding applications for
student deferments for new
incoming freshmen, Tarr stated.
"If the pending Selective Service
legislation does not pass it would
not be in a registrant's best
interest to obtain a student
deferment which would extend
his liability until age 35. Should
Congress change the legislation
to provide for deferments for
new incoming freshmen. which
is most unlikely. applications for
deferments will not be
jeopardized by delaying their
submission until after passage of
the new law."
Dr. Tarr also noted that
college students will not be
drafted in the middle of a term
or semester. and "If. in their last
academic year. they will be able
to postpone their induction until
after graduation."

A series of organizational and
personnel changes have been

directing and coordinating a

approximately 1370 male and

improvements will definitely
provide "more complete service
for members of ,the community.
"Last year, over one half
million copies were made in the
shop in addition to another 300
regular jobs that we handled.
Within a year we predict that
nearly one million copies will
pass through our harxls."

The Fairfield Rugby Football
Club is preparing for a tough fall
schedule, pitting them against
some of the top teams in the
East·
Beside taking on such
powerhouses as West Point and
the Manhattan Rugby Club the
fb!gger~ will compete in the
Eastern Collegiate Rugby
Tournament. The tournament
field will feature eight of the
best College rugby teams in the
East vying for the number one
spot.
B'sAdvaDCt
Graduation wiped out much of
the "A" team, but they have a
large group of juniors coming up
from last year's fine "B" team.
The "B's" were 5-2 last year,
including winning two out of
three of their matches against
other"A" teams. -
The Fairfield serum. which is
primarily responsible for getting
possession of the ball, will be one
of the smallest scrums in the
East, but it will also be one of the
fastest.
If there is any problem with
the serum it might be a lack of
experienced players to provide
depth.
A's Return
Returning "A" players in the
serum include junior vicecaptain
Tim McEndy and junior
Kevin Manley.
The Red Rugger backfield
could excel, as they have size,
speed, and experience. There is
also plenty of depth at all
positions.
Returning "A" backs include
senior captain Chris Galvin and
junior Peter Ferrara. This will
be Galvin's third year as a
regular member of the "A"
team.
The RuBgers are hoping to be
able to play a fast, wide open
game with the emphasis on quick
scrum play and running rather
than kicking by the backs. This is
the style of play the ..A" team
used last spring as it won its last
three games, and the "B" team
used all last season.
Fast Play
What is needed for this type of
play is a fast, well-conditioned
serum - which is that the Rugger
co-captains are striving for.
Captain Chris Gavlin stated:
"I'm fairly optimistic about the
-upcoming season. Despite the
schedule I think we'll have a
winning year, and we should do
well in the tournament."
career points
During the past season, the
Assumption co-captain scored
497 points for an 18.0 seoring
average while collecting 10
assists per game. His 1496 career
points is a record high at
Assumption, followed-by fellow
co-captain Jake Jones' 1421
points, while also setting a
season record of most free
throws scored and most free
throws attempted, converting
150 of 195.

Would students still turn out to

Athletic Detour
1- By BobBlal..---------J
Already in his short tenure as
athletic director. Don Cook has
taken a sharp detour from the
main road of athletic philosophy
set down by his predecessor
Ge<lrge Bisacca.
During Bisacca's rule of the
roost, his name became
synonymous with Fairfield
athletics. Unfortunately,
athletics consisted of not much
more than basketball.
Although Bisacca did guide the
Stags to their most glorious hard
court days the other sports and
most important the average
student jock suffered from
neglect.
Cook's appointment was a
significant one for the future of
athletics here. He has shown that
he is not merely filling the shoes
of his predecessor.
Big Sirides So Far
The former standout athlete of
the class of '63 has, within a few
months. taken many important
steps to make the most of our
athletic facilities and to
improve the general athletic
atmosphere for the average
student as well as giving Coach
Fred Barakat and his Stags a
healthier and more
accommodating faciiity to feast
upon their big time opponents.
Cook has indeed accomplished
a great deal in a short time and
much credit is due to him. It is
however. his close working
relationship with the department
of student services and its head
man. Vice President William P.
SChimpf, which mas made many
immediate innovations possible.
Cook credits SChimpf with
fostering the'ideas of an outdoor
skating rink and lighting of the
intramural football and softball
fields.
As part of the athletic
department's new image, Cook
has extended an offer to club
sports for help in an advisory
capacity. Such communication
could perhaps help to avoid such
scheduling conflicts such as
hockey and basketball face when
playing home games on the same
night.
Intramural Siluallon Beller
Another significant innovation
is the appointment of Gary
Marzolla. '71. as director of
intramurals and recreational
activities. Marzolla, who held a
similar post in the past. will be
-working on a more full time
basis. Improvements already
seen in his department have been
the purchase of a liquid field
liner and soon to be installed
steel nets for the outdoor
b9 sketball courts.
It's about time these things
started happening? Probably so.
but it took Mr. Cook· and Mr.
Schimpf to get the ball rolling
which for so many years stood in
a corner gathering dust.
