that despite the possibility that

is no reason whv a security

The incident originated when
the dispatcher was parking his

Melaugh, one of the student

calling for a credit-eourse in sex
education. This was passed on by
Mr. SChimpf to the Curriculum
Committee which. according to
Fr. Coughlin. passed it on to the
dean for implementation.
Emphasizing that he did not
know what final form the course
would take, Fr. Coughlin
hypothesized that the program
might include several teaching
areas such as psychology.
sociology, theology, health
services.
"These and other areas will be
explored by Fr. Murphy during
the fall semester." Fr. Coughlin
explained that "our intention is
largely the same as that of the
course proposed by the
Psychological Services
proposal." That Is, it will be an
academic course. given for
credit, which will explore
patterns of sexuality. ,·It won't
be a sermon course." he
assured.
Concerning who should get the
course. Fr. Coughlin again
conjectured that it would
probably be best for those
students who are still in their
early college years.

AN OPEN CLASSROOM demonstration was held recently in the
campus center Oak Room marking Ihe opening of the new
program in the Graduate School of Education.
OCTOBER 14,1971
"The basic course this
semester and next semester will
be followed by an advanced
workshop follow-up during the
Summer session." Dr. Pill
continued.
All three women expressed a
desire to bring their program to
the undergraduale le...el, but
until a major in elementary
education is oHered, that isn't
possible.
Explaining the purpose of the
newly established infonnation

James Fitzpatrick, director of
the campus center, recently
affirmed its runction as a "much
needed" central information
source for the university
campus.
Initiated this fall by William
P. Schimpf. vice-president in
charge of student services. the
center supplies uni...ersity
catalogues, mo...ie schedules.

bulletins to students and campus
visitors. Student resident lists
will be available upon
completion by student services.
The information desk, Mr.
Fitzpatrick explained, will also

All three have taken a year off
from their other teaching
assignments to conduct in­service
workshops for teachers
and open classroom seminars for
parents.
Through lheir experience they
are assured of the success the
open classroom has had as an
instrument in making learning a
personal, exciting happening for
a child.
Mrs. Kallick contends, "I see
an enonnous connection between
the drug problem and the
traditional methods of teaching.
The rote memory technique does
not provide an opportunity for a
child to relate what he learns in
school with his life. He has
difficulty relating to anything,
therefore he turns to drugs."
In commenting about the
acceptance of .the open
classroom into public school
systems and pri...ate schools
Mrs. Kallick says that, "Due to
budget cuts in so many areas.
school systems are willing to try
the method because the tools of
learning used are inexpensi...e to
acquire. All the items used are
evel)'day household ones."
The course. which will be
offered Spring semester also,
covers science and reading as
well as mathematics_
The technique in reading is
believed to help children learn to
read faster.
The children dictate a story
about something they know and
the teacher writes it down. This
way the child can see his words
in ... isual form and learn to read
them.
Dr. Robert Pitt, Dean of the
Graduate School. was
enthusiastic about having the
course presented at Fairfield.
He says. "I ha...e seen the open
classroom method at work in one
of the local elementary schools
and was eJ:cited to ha...e these

new technique in learning.
The technique is called the
open classroom and the seUing is
a CQurse in the Graduate School
of Education at Fairfield.
The open classroom is a
concept of educahon begun in
England which is designed to
allow primary school children to
pursue their own interests and
talents while developing reading,
malhemalical and artistic skills.
The teachers using this
process do not teach in the
traditional manner, btU they
create learning experiences for
the children to teach themselves
through their own discoveries.
The role of the teacher is to
direct the student in the learning
en... ironmenl.
It is more of a challenge to the
teacher to create this learning
atmosphere than it is to instruct
in the former way.
The course at Fairfield, a first
of its kind in the Graduate
School. is taught by three young
women. Mrs. Joanna Nicholson
and Mrs. June Gould are
teachers and Mrs. Gena Kallick
is a psychologist who tutors

So, when he found the
Copperhead which he knew he
couldn'l bring home, he called
Dr. Combs and offered to give
his find to the department
collection. Later in lhe year, Dr.
Combs asked Alan to tend the
collection on a regular basis.
MosUy due to Alan's initial
donatton. which soon provided
babies. the snake collection IS

Student Tends Snakes
What does a high school
sophomore snake-lover do when
he catches a "beautifu'"
copperhead in the woods but
can't take it home~
Well. to make a long story
short. he finds a university
whose biology department's
snake collection is lacking
mostly because they need
someone to feed the creatures.
He then gives them his prized
catch and offers to accept the
vacant post.
At least that's what Alan
Purrone '75 did three years ago
when he found himself in just
such a predicament. Having
previously met Fairfield
professor Theodore Combs on a
snake-hunting expedition near
Connecticut's Pequonnock
River, he called Dr. Combs in
the university's biology
department and the deal was
made.
Boyhood Ambllioas
A June graduate from
Trumbull High School. Alan has
been Fairfield's snake curator
for the past three years. This
past September he entered the
university's freshman class as a
biology major. "I guess I just
never grew out of my boyhood
ambitions of studying and
catching snakes." says Alan who
keeps the biology department's
now growing collection of
American snakes on a bi·weekly
diet of mice and frogs.
Alan's interest in the long,
skinny fellows began when he
was a freshman in high school. at
which time he caught several
varieties which he kept at home.
"I used to go an;lund to area
schools to lecture to the students
about snakes." he explains.
"bringing my pelS with me
whenever possible."
"My main purpose," he says.
"was to educate people thus
preventing them from tilling
snakes. "
Some Good Pets
Some non-poisonous snakes
can make good pets, according
to Alan. He warns, ho.....ever that
each snake has its own
temperament and so some are
snappy. He claims that they are
healthy pets because they give
nodiseases to man.
Alan relates the tale of
meeting Dr. Combs and his
children while on a snakeo
hunting venture, remarking that
he was surprised to meet a man
looking for snakes.
After introducing himself to
Dr. Combs, Alan heard the story
of Fairfield's falling snake
population. The professor
explained that many of the
department's snakes had to be
k.illed because they .....ere

from home.
Even more serious. however,
is what D'Andrea terms "the
poor parking situation" on
campus. Claiming that Prep
students often park in areas
normally designated for
commuter use, 0' Andrea
maintained that commuters wlll
refuse to pay parking tickets
until improvements are made.
He also criticized exclusive
faculty rights to the Campus
Center lot.
Finally, D'Andrea
mentioned a long-range proposal
for securing the rental of a house
on Fairfield beach. Such a
facility would become the center
youngsters have not been
involved at all with the police
since the volunteers began
working with them.
Buist comments that another
indication of the suceess of the
program has "been the
enthusiasm not only of the
youngsters involved but of their
friends. As the kids in the
neighborhood got to know their
friend's probation officer many
of them asked if they could
participate in the program
although they were not in trouble
with the courts.

Mr. Jonas Kearney, director of
the program in Bridgeport, is
most pleased and happy with the
response of Fairfield studenlS in
comparison with those from
other campuses in the area.
Mr. Kearney expects anyone
who begins with a youngster to
stay with him. "If there's one
thing a child doesn't need it's
another disappointment", Mr.
Kearney states. "There are no
failures for a dedicated
volunteer because all these kids

The two meet for at least an
hour every week. The purpose of
the project is not to show the
child the highlights of middleo
class suburbia but to meet him
on hisown ground as his friend.
According to Buist, this is
beneficial not only for the youth
involved but also for the student.
The child is exposed to an
environment and a group of
people unlike the one he is used
to at home. And the student
becomes more aware of. the life
style in the comffibnities
surrounding Fairfield.
The choice of the meeting

Jim described his first
meeting last year with his 14­year~
ld friend from Bridgeport
as a very strained, distant one
and a challenge from the start.
"Everything began
superficially," Jim remembers.
"We talked about our families,
hobbies, sports. It wasn't unlil
about five weeks and twenty
hours later that our relationship
began to develop deep enough so
he would tell me things about
school or home without my
asking."
"Most of the kids in the project
have no family to speak of. They
might have a molher or father
but not one they can talk to or
who is willing to listen. All
they're looking for is a strong
adult image." Jim contends.

mother, father, big brother,

all at once.

Due to the special status of the
probation officer in the eyes of

I have never registered a
complaint against Fairfield until
now.
A copy of "The Fairfield Free

shocked when I read the
advertisement on page four. This
certainly does not speak well for
a Catholic University.
I realize it is a liberal paper
and doesn't compare to "The

are going a little too far?
Please give this matter some

At the meeting of september

533,000.00 has been received out
of an expected $50.000,00. It
would appear that the projected
figure of $50.000.00 will not be
reached. This will substantially
reduce allocations to each
program.
As a concerned member of the

obligation to bring these

Thank you.
Dear Editor:
Your article has helped my
recruitment on the Fairfield
University Campus immensely.
Thanks to you I ha...e no doubt
that the student members of the
John Birch Society at Fairfield
Uni...ersity will wield a
predominant influence over
many of the liberal policies of
the Jesuit Administration, With
such influence Fairfield
Uni...ersity may soon return to
the esteemed Catholic institution
it once was.
Within the next few weeks due
to recent de...elopments I will be
showing films on the Campus
itself. Before the publication of
your article. I usually showed
them off Campus. But since your
article has inspired such an
interest among a number of
students. I have decided in many
cases to take the films righL to
the students, I hope that the
Voice may send its reporters to
these films because for the next
few years the John Birch Society
will be one of the tOP issues at
Fairfield Uni,·ersity. It would be
in our school's own interest to
get Lhe correct explication of the
Society and its views and goals
by impartial Voice reporters.

As a concerned member of the
Class of t975, I feel it an

concerning the relationship
between the freshman class and
student go...ernment. For the
past three weeks I have been an
acti...e and interested student in
all social and cultural affairs on
campus. BUl the existence and
function of student government
on campus is still a puzzle to me
and I feel that the reason for this
is a lack of communication on
the part of those in authority in
our student go...ernment. Maybe
I am wrong in making such a
judgement at this time. but from
what I·...e seen and heard so far­not

much has been said and ....'riuen

have yet to see one letter of it in

The main reason for writing
this letter is to show my concern
o...er lhe student government
budget. Each member of the
student body is required to pay a
$25.00 student activity fee. which
in turn is channeled by student
government to clubs and

came away wondering why one

the budget, apportioning money

The budget is then sent to the

Remember the days when
children practiced scales on the
piano involuntarily for many
tedious hours? These days have
been traded in for a second
childhood of music by many
university students.
For the seeond consecutive
year. the music department is
offering private music lessons
on campus to all students.
Instruction is available in
classical plano fall levelsl by
Miss Irene Schneidmann and
Burton Hathaway: jazz
improvisation for all
instruments except drums by
John Mehegan: violin I advanced
students only l by Tossy
Spivakovsky: and harpiscord by
Igor Kipnis.
Adjunct Professors
The teachers who give the
lessons, With the exception of
Igor Kipnis, are adjunct
professors, I.e. they are not on
the university payroll per se as
professors but are remunerated
only through the private lessons.
There has ~n a show of
enthusiasm for these lessons as
witnessed by some t.....('nty·five
names of students who have
signed the list for lessons In the
roster in the basement of Loyola.
Students who silj:n "the list are
contacted via thClr mailbox by
Mr. Andrew Heath, the head of
the music division,
SID per L.esson
The lessons are offered on an
individual basis at a time of
mutual convenience between the
.student and the teacher. The fee
for each lesson Is SIO, which is
paid in a total sum each
semester. The amount of time
per lesson is variable. but is
minimally one hour.
Susan Cesano. who is in her
second year of plano lessons at
the university, remarked thal a
great aspect of the lessons is
'"that the instructors are not
clock watchers." Sue said
additionally that "the teachers
are just great"
When asked for some
historical information about the
lessons. Mr. Heath stated that
the "students demanded the
music lessons. There's a real
nunger to learn music which
needs to be slltisfied." he said.
Hard Workers
Mr, Heath indicated that
students who arc of all levels of
music competence are Involved
in the music lessons.
In regard to the idea that the
student is at a late stage to learn
how to play an instrument, Mr.
Heath commented that "the
students really work hard."
Even though the students arc
not music majors. their
eagerness and the voluntary
aspect compensate ror the late
beginning.

I had heard that students were
growing more enthusiastic about
studying, but I never expected
their desire for learning to reach
the proportions which it has. A
few days ago while walking to
the library. I was amated to find
a line stretching from the door,
down the walk past the science
building.
"What's going on here?" I
shouted to the librarian as I
pUshed my way through the
cro.....d to the front deSk,
"The library Is all filled up at
the moment. If you care to wait
for a place to study you'll just
have to get on line like everyone
else."
"00 you mean to tell me thai
all these people actually want to
study? I've been coming to the
library for the past two years
and have always had the whole
place to myself,"
"I guess it just shows how fads
come and go at a university. Why
I remember how two years ago
you might be walking along
minding your own business. and
the next minute find yourself in

,,' guess so, Suddenly it seems
that everyone wants to read a

I've seen more students in here
today than in all the years since

time. making efficient use of
funds difficult.
A ,'tudent in the work study
program, after meeting federal
requirements, may earn
between $4W and $S5O per year.
Although last year's program
placed 101 students at $1.60 per
hour, this year 100 positions at
$2.00 an hour have been assigned
with more to be assigned during
the year.
Scbool Funds
About 400 Fairfield students
received an approximate total of
$500,000 in various scholarship
forms this year. The distribution
of school funds is handled by the
Rev. George Gallarelli. S.J.
dean of admissions in
conjullction with the financial
;'lid office.
This year's figures mark an
increasl! over the $420.000
awarded to 400 students last
year.
Unlike the federal programs.
scholarships are dependent on
class. The amount of scholarship
money awarded to an incoming
fresshman class. determined by
the trustees after considering
state subsidies. remains
constant for four years,
redistributed within the class if
any original scholarship money
becomes available during that
time.
Because the amount allotted
varies according to class size.
currently the freshman and
sophomore classes receive a
larger sum per class than the
upperclasses. However, as class
sizes become more equal within
the next few years, funds
available to each class will
stabilize at approximately
$100.000 per class.
Contributing to a more
efficient use of school funds is
the .. incentive plan" initiated
last February to revise the
procedure for distributing
freshman funds. Under
the incentive plan, freshman
funds are divided, some to be
allotted according to need. some
according to academic
excellence regardless of need.
By separating need and
academic excellence
requirements. school funds are
made available for use in
matching educational
opportunity grants. thus freeing
national defense loan money for
other need situations.
Nursing Aid
Mr. Lucas also noted that
federal aid is available to
students in the school of nursing.
Currently. 14 nursing students
receive $1l,900 in nursing
national defense student loans.
Of those 14. nine receive a total
of $7200 in nursing federal
scholarships.
Significant Reyisions
Coming
Students should be informed
that Federal aid to higher
education programs face major
changes if proposed revisions

according to Mr. Lucas.
The revised programs will
"vary quite considerably from
present ones" and Mr: Lucas
expresses "990/0" certainty that
current programs will not be in
effect next year. He adds that it
is too early to anticipate exactly
what the accepted proposals will
contain. Mr. Lucas assures
students that they will be
advised of definite changes when
they occur.
"Open Door Policy"
Regardless of specific
program changes. the financial
aid office maintains its efforts to
"rebuild student confidence in
the office."
Practicing "control and
coor'dination" with the
acc-ounting department
facilitates strict aCCQunt and
control of government money
and coordinated efforts with the
admissions office allows
perspective freshmen to "see
the whole picture" before
making their final dedsion.
3:00, and the primary session is
from 4: 00 unlil s:oo.
During the winter months,
however. the second
recreational period will be
curtailed at the request of Sister
Mary Julie, the students'
proctor.
TutoriDg Program
The mezzanine in the Campus
Center bas been the site of the
tutoring, with English
composition and Math forming
the areas of concentration.
Both of these subjects are
being taught on the seventh and
eighth grade levels.
A diversity of sports has been
planned for the recreation
sessions. Among these are
football. basketball and
volleyball.
The program is running
throughout the academic year,
and will end on May 3. It
encompasses twenty-two
Wednesday afternoons.
Through the cooperation of the
Model Cities Program, Ed has
obtained a $1,000 grant to help
run the activity. This money has
been used to procure the services
of a private bus CQmpany which
is presently providing
transportation for the students to
and from Fairfield.
Program MaiDtenuce
In addition, Ed has received
$2S0 from the student
government. These assets come
from the Social Action
Committee.
Supplementing this is the $100
raised during a recent fund
drive.
All of these resourses have
been allocated toward the
purchase of sports equipment
and books.
Ed has great confidence and
belief in his program's
effectiveness. He said. "It is a
great program. If I didn't feel
that way I wouldn't commit
myself..
He added that the exposure to
a college atmosphere has greatly
increased the students' desire to
finish their schooling.
receiving an approximate total
of $90,000 in educational
oppor,tunity grants.
These figures contrast last
year's total of $110,000
distributed in 133 grants.
Nalional defense loans, federal
funds loaned through the school
and repaid by the student to the
school, this year totaling about
$ISO.OOO have been awarded to
approximately 220 students.
The cutback reduced these
figures from last year's $180.000
loaned to 244 students.
Repayment, at a 3% interest
rate over a period of 10 years. is
complicated by a 9 month grace
period. deferments for military
service, and partial
cancellations for students
entering the teaching profession.
Therefore, the amount due
each year is minimal against the
total receivable amount.
The improved work study
situation resulted from a change
in the federal work stUdy fiscal
calendar. As .of July 1, the
federal program operates on a
July-June arrangement which
coincides with the fiscal year of
the university. allowing the
"financial aid office to plan more
accurately the number of
positions available within the
funds allocated by the
government.
Under the previous fiscal
arrangement, planning would be

To accomplish this. Ed has
gotten forty volunteer tutors. one
for each youngster. plus a
number of recreational
assistants.
The tutoring lasts for one hour.

Last year the rink just about
broke even with gate receipts

crowd with a hard·fought
21-6 victory o\'er St. Francis

though, the Stags have a much
tougher opponent lJl the highly­ranked
Vikings from Valhalla.
and Fairfield will be hard­pressed
by the opposition.
Despite the Stag's 0-3 record.
the game looms very important
for Fairfield since the Gridders
are only 6-1 in League play. A
victory over the Vikings would
make the Stags 1-1 in league
competition. and a derinite
threat for the title. Westchester
has to be considered a strong
contender for the Metropolitan
Division Crown. and a Red upset
of the Vikes would go a long way
in throwing the whole race into
wide confusion.

Coach McCarthy reports he
will be working with his
powerful third line quite a bit
this year. Marty Vierling and Ed
Stefan are on the forward line
and Ed Jenny and Ken McNulty
on defense.
Since the lines are so flexible
this season, McCarthy plans to
be able to give the players a
longer time to rest between
plays. He also thinks this will
count heavily on his strategy.
Palma Ret.nas To Nets
Ed Palma will again be in the
nets for the pucksters. Palma
had the fourth lowest goals
against average in the M.I.H_L.
last year. Coach McCarthy says.
"Palma looks better than ever."
Another first for Fairfield
hockey is a back·up goalie ­Terry

Vital League Changes
There are many changes in the
M.I.H.L. this year. They have
adopted a shorter. sixteen game
season as a result of the
esdusion of the clubs from
Columbia University, Queens
College and Adelphi University.
This will give the Stags with
eight home games.
According to Coach McCarthy,
this season promises to be the
best yet for the Club. Only one
player was lost through
graduation and try--outs this year
brought more than thirty·fi...e
prospective players to the Ice.
McCarthy will field a tearn with
the strength of many returning
veterans as well a promising
freshmen group.
