Although the center normally
runs two and a half shifts a dayI
five days a week, with one shift
on Saturday I and one and a half
shifts of operation on Sunday, the
system operated one full month
during the end of last semester
without stopping, 24 hours a day.
For one thing, the university
rents out computer space to
eight high schools in the local
area who have their own
tenninals which are connected
to our computer through
telephone lines.
Over the past four years, over
3,500 secondary school students
have learned APL as a result of
the university's external
program,
This situation necessitates a
yearly institute for teachers,
held here each summer to
refresh them concerning new
programming trends. A
consulting service is also held
during the year.
Adminislrative Help
The computer also serves
several major administrative
functions here. Four major
systems, formerly performed
manually, have been
implemented into the computer
in the last t.....o years. They
include: a student billing
system. a student information
system. a student registration
system, and a budget and
expenditure reporting system.
Plans for an income reporting
system and an admissions
information system are
scheduled for implementation
this year.
Winston Tellis, manager of
computer systems in the center
since 1967. explained how a new
system operated by the
computer might compare to the
old manual billing operation', for
instance.
"enormous capability," explains
Dr. Schurdak.
It enables students to simplify
many long calculations into
relatively few steps and also
allows them work with
mathematics·like logic. He is
able to think through a problem
in tenns of mathematics, and
with relatively minor changes
write his program in APL
notation.
All work is done on one of the
center's nine typewriter
television devices which are
technically referred to as
cathode ray (C-R) terminals.
The 1500 system can
accommodate 32 terminals
simultaneously, but until this
year no more than nine were
ever needed. Four more will be
added shortly. according to the
director.
fn his annual report last year,
Dr. Schurdak estimated that
collections from students
increased between
approximately $1a,OOO and
$20.000 last year due to the new
billing procedure.
Mr. Tellis suggested that at
least part of the significance of
this improvement lies in the fact
that nearly 70 per cenl of the
university's yearly income
comes from student' s tuition and
room and board,
This in addition to the other
systems, according to Tellis.

"There is no reason whv adults

"And it must provide better

order to preserve a varietv of
educational options."
"The basis of freedom can be
broadened primarilv throueh the
development or better teachineboth

He says the collej!e is
challenli!ed to teach civilitv both
on and off campus. and to
educate to human values in the
dormitories and community as
well as in the laboratory and
lecture hall.
"Societv has eranted freedom:
now we must educate to
appreciate it. The central
question today is not whether the
present world or campus are too
liberal. but whether we can
educate students to live with
those freedoms that surround
them by providing a liberal
education." he concluded.

Many Learn APL
In all, an estimated 60 per cent
of last year's student body had
an understandinJ.t of APl,
according to Dr. John Schurdak,
director of the division of
educational research and
development.
Dr. Schurdak reports that the
center has been "overloaded"
this year, forcing many students
to be turned away, Additional
terminals are now a necessity,
he says. •
Fairfield's computer operation
is unusual among liberal arts
colleges, he insists, because it is
geared for the small user among
the students and faculty unlike
so many other schools are
mostly concerned with those who
have major computing
requirements.
"Certainly no other college in
Connecticut makes such an
attempt to reach out to the non·
science student as does this
university, '. notes the director,
It is this philosophy, he
suggests, which has led to
Fairfield's relatively early
adoption of APL as its major

Thanks again.
procedures. Hence whenever an
issue occurs, the UniverSity will
not make public charges or
statements. and will endeavor to
avoid any remarks that might
seem lo prejudge the case. It
will not be present at public
discussions of a case of any
individual before an equitable
resolution is reached by due
process. It will not engage in
public debate. nor encourage
others - faculty. students or
administrators - to do so. To act
in any other way would be to
vtolate the letter and spirit of the
agreement the University has
already made. Besides. it would
expose individuals and the
institution to "trial by the
press."
There is a proper form and a
proper procedure - already
agreed upon by Fairfield
University and its faculty - to
handle difficult and sensitive
issues of academic freedom and
the rights of the individuals. I
regret that recent actions on the
part of some have made it more
difficult to apply these
procedures and may have
seriously compromised our
efforts to follow a process
already agreed upon.
The University, therefore. will
not make any substantive
statement on any issue until all
parties have had a chance to a
fair hearing in the proper forum
as prescribed by the AAUP
Statemenl and the UniverSity
Faculty Handbook.
I ask furlher that those of you
who have formally accepted
these procedures as being the
best way of obtaining justice and
equity for all. do not prejudice
the possibilities for
accomplishing these goals by
premature and uninformed
discussion of any individual
case.
I ask. finally. that all who
rightfully believe that the entire
academic community has "a
right to know" also accept .. the
prior right of each individual to a
fair hearing:' recognizing that
this latter right may sometimes
circumscribe or delay the right
to know.
The procedures whieh the
University intends to follow
were worked out carefully by
many interested parties in order
to make the academic
community viable and strong.
especially by protecting the
rights of individuals in times of
difficulties. It is. above all. in
times of stress that these
procedures may prove most
valuable.

Pres. Won'I Talk
in the light of some recent
newspaper headlines, erroneous
statements, published
documents and publicity
concerning an issue of faculty
tenure. I would like to state the
position of the University at this
time and explain the
University's refusal to seek a
resolution by public debate or
discussion.
Fairfield University adheres
to the 1940 Statement of
Prindples on Academic
Freedom endorsed by the
Association of American
Colleges and the American
Association of University
Professors.
It has stated that adherence on
the first page of the Faculty
Handbook in the following
words:
"The statement on academic
freedom, as formulated in the
1940 Statement of Principles
endorsed by the Association of
American Colleges and the
American Association of
University Professors. is the
policy of Fairfield University.
Academic freedom and
responsibility are here defined
as the liberty and obligation to
study. to investigate, to present
and interpret, and to discuss
facts and ideas concerning all
branches and fields of learning.
No limitations are implied other
than those required by generally
accepted standards of
responsible scholarship and by
respect for the Catholic
commitment of Fairfield
University. This commitment
delimits any professor only to
the extent of restraining him
from attempting to undermine
the basis of that commitment
just as university professors
anywhere are expected to
respect the principles upon
which the university at which
they teach if founded."
The IHO Statement explicitly
permits of dismissal of tenured
faculty for adequate cause but
only on condition of a fair due
process lof AAUP Statement on
Procedural Standards in Faculty

rejects "trial by press" or
publicity before the procedures

He added. "I would hold a
completely opposite view for the
professional press. because this
is an important mission of
theirs." He called for the
campus press to give as
balanced a news treatment as
possible of national and state
political developments.
Campbell believed that, with
the voting age lowered to 18,
students are becoming more
involved politically. He noted
that the paper has a
responsibility to present how
candidates feel on issues related
to student concerns, such as Viet

Gibson said. "It's the student

Dear Editor:
In regard to your recent
article and then a letter by
Nicholas Bove concerning the
John Birch Society, alii can say
is that I hope you have backed
the right horse. I live in a
community that is chocked full
of John Birchers and from what I
have seen and heard. it is nothing
like the Utopia described by Mr.
Bove.
For example, is it a show of
patriotism on the part of a John
Bircher to evade paying his
income taxes for three years.
and' then to neglect to take out
social security for his
employees? Is it right to accuse
the promoters of a music festival
(and not a rock festival) of being
Communist because of the
political beliefs of one of the
performers? I am not saying
that Mr. Bove is not allowed to
express his views. I am saying
that before support is given (by
means of articles that"".have
helped my recruilment on the
Fairfield University Campus
immensely.") "One should look
into all aspects of such a thing,
which ..... will be one of the top
issues at Fairfield." If truth is

Dirty Word Dispute
Student Government President
Steven Dormer was quick to
assign the blame to a particular
group. "It is clearly the work of
the anti-tripartite faction of the
faculty." he complained.
"Whenever they don't get what
they want. they resort to

Meanwhile, Fr. William

its members to be held under

Furthermore. in an attempt to
insure that the document would

ordered a large bonfire to be

quadrangle. Each administrator
was then instructed to gather all
the memoranda. letters, and
loose scraps of paper that he
could find and throw them into
the flames.
Luckily. however. the panic
affected only a small minority
within the university. Most
students. professors. and
administrators went about their

Dave Mason's "saa and Deep

pretty, and it helps along the

There are few rock groups who
can get up on a stage and
maintain the quality of sound
which is found on their studio
recorded material.
Even fewer in number are the
performers who can create a
dynamism on stage which is
impossible to capture in the
plastic grooves of a record. It
can prove to be a disappointment
to find out that your favorite
singer's voice is more a product
of a studio technician's skill than
of hisown talenL
In the same respect, the
guitarist you thought so highly of
may be capable of IitUe more
than strumming a few simple
chords.
Studio Q..lity
Groups relying heavily on
orchestral backgrounds on their
recordings must be able to
reproduce these effects on a
mellotron or a moog, The one·
man band antics of someone like
Paul McCartney would be
impossible to reproduce on stage
without the help of a backup
band, in which case the one-man
band is gone.
Directly opposing the
problems that the
aforementioned groups would
face, are the problems of groups
like Ike and Tina Turner or
Emerson. Lake. and Palmer who
find it hard to convey the visual
power of their performance onto
record.
Artistic BaJance
One group which has reached
some degree of balance between
the quality of recorded material
and stage ability is Traffic.
Welcome To The Canteen.

that the group maintains its high

Bertold Brecht's Mother
Courage will conclude its run
this weekend with Thursday,
Friday and Saturday night
performances at the Fairfield
University Playhouse.
Viewed by enthusiastic
audiences Utis past weekend, the
play is the story of a 17th
Century traveling saleswoman
who drags her wagon and brood
of international children behind
both annies engali;ed in the 30
Years War.
Throughout the struggle.
Mother Courage. as the bossy
head of clan is known.
withstands the loss of two sons. a
temporary economic disaster •
peace. and the death of her mule
daughter who wailed for the
ultimate peace that would bring
her a husband.
With equal cool. she
withstands the advances of a
bungling Protestant chaplain and
an army cook known to a
deserted lover as Peter Piper.
In the end, with her chances
for economic stability gone with
the cook to Utrecht. the sole
reason for her staying behind is
dead - shot warning a sleeping
town of a raid. Kaltrin is gone.
MotherCourage is alone.
TbeMessage
Various bits of conversation
between characters in the play
reveal the message. From her
first reaction to the accusation
that "You make your living off
the war." Mother Courage
learns that it must claim
something in return_
With everyone elses sons dying
all around her, Mother Courage's
reply that those dying "need not
be mine" rings hollowly.
The play is filled with obvious
irony. In a rather wise speech.
Mother Courage declares that it

"Though on-eampus recruiting
has dwindled. a number of
companies we wrote to over the
summer," he commented,
"would not interview on campus
but did express a desire to
review resumes and conduct
private interviews with future
graduates." He went further in
saying that the jobs are available
but it will be up to the individual
senior to do the work and be
persistent in his drive to seek a
job.
New Ideas Are S~D
Father O'Neil has come to his
new position with some
innovaUons in mind. He would
like to change the historical
prospective of placement and
redirect the current emphasis
toward counseling. Father feels
that career counseling is more
important tban the actual
placement.
"I believe there is a trend
which is changing attitudes.
Students are less concerned with
jobs and the monetary
remuneration and focus their
attention on a career," says
Father. "Concurrently, future
goals rather than specific jobs
have become more important to
lhe students'"'
UDderciassme. Become Objeets
"Because of this Change, I
would like to work with
underclassmen in helping them
1.0 recognize their own values
and develop a mature self
concept," Father O'Neil
continued. In so doing, Father
feels there will be greater
emphasis on a student's working
toward a goal in life and the
actual job placement will
become secondary.
Father believes that by
counseling a student .....hen he has
just begun his college
experience. it will be more
effective than trying to inject
direction into the life of a senior
when he has already completed a
four year curriculum and still
has nodefinitegoals in mind.
In order to facilitate this
change in the Career Counseling
and Placement Office, Father
O'Neil hopes to be able to expand

great attention is focused upon
the Career Counseling and
Placement QUice. This year the
seniors will find a new director.
Rev. Laurence O'Neil. Father
O'Neil was appointed to replace
C. Donald Cook, who was given
the position of athletic director.
Father O'Neil is not really new
to Fairfield. He has been
working at Fairfield Prep since
1955 and has served in the
capacities of leacher, assistant
principle, and most recently as
director of guidance. In this last
position, Father dealt primarily
with college placement. which
directed his interests toward the
university when the position as
placement director was
available.
Having received bis master's
degree in guidance and
counseling, Father O'Neil will
soon complete the requirements
for his six year certificate (rom

Hislorically, seniors have
looked lo the placement oUice as
an employment agency. Father
O'Neil feels this is an incorrect
altitude. He indicates that the
placement office is a center for
the dissemination of information
regarding jobs. Specifically he
stated that his function would be
to show the seniors "how" to go
about getting a job.
"After all, once they leave the
university, they will be looking
for jobs by themselves for the
remainder of their careers," he
says.
Job Sl~S Take.
Along this line. father has
encouraged the seniors to have
an appointment with him. He
feels he can prepare the seniors
for interviews with companies
and alert them to the many
pitfalls which ensue during a
conversation with an interviewer
from a corporation.
Furthermore, Father has
expressed his willingness in
helping the seniors to compose
and correct a proper resume.
