"I don't think the situation has

emphasized that the food service
could do very little to remedy a

poorer service for students who

In addition, the students
requested a sandwich bar for

variety for girls with such things
as yogurt offered. and more
"imaginative" lunches.

informed the Voice last
weekend.
The sales included 95 package
deals and 600 ducats to the Beach

Student Government as possible.
The Government has put up
$2.000 from the Social Affairs

The senior from Long Island
explained that this year's sho.....

made by the Student
Government over the last fe .....
years in trying to build up
enough capital to bring in a big

He pointed to last year's Sha

as a big turning point. ··We
actually made money on that
concert" he said, "and it gave us
something to work with for a
change instead of owing money
at the Weekend's end."

relative success of Gordon

possible to put up 17,500 for this

and seek possible solutions.
According to James
FitzpatrIck. director of the
Campus Center and head of the
Committee, a group of
"interested" students and
administrators met .... ith him for
the first time last week to
register their complaints about
the food. Fitzpatrick es:plained
that this group which he expects
to grow will continue to meet
each week with him and a
representative of the Specialized
Management staff in hopes of
analyzing the '"food situation" in
the cafeteria.
Faith In Specialized
Quick to note thaI he had not
heard complaints about the food
from a single student since
school opened in September.
Fitzpatrick admitted that the
increased frequency of
disturbances in lhe cafeteria and
the rumors noating around the
campus caused Dean Schimpf to
request the committees
formation.
He expressed complete faith
that the food service ....-ould lend
'.hell' full cooperation In this
attempt to improve the apparent
problem.
Beachboys Tomorrow;
Tickets Going Fast
You'd better hustle if you want
to hear the Beach Boys
tomorrow evening.
Tickets for the concert, as well
as the entire package deal. have
been moving at an
unprecedented rate. according to

chairman of the weekend who is
planning on a sellout cro.....d for

"The aims of the Commuter
Club are as follows: to stimulate
participation between the
commuting student and the
community of Fairfield
University in social, political.
athletic, and academic
activities: to provide
information to Fairfield

formulate some type of
organizational groups that will
act to assist in the remedy of
some of the immediate social
ills...
With this statement of
purpose. contained in their
newly.(lrafted ConstituHon, the
commuters took a further step in
their drive to organize an active
Commuter Club on campus.

At a general commuter
meeting held last Wednesday.
October 27. commuter
spokesman Mike D'Andrea and
the other members of the nine­man
Central Committee for the
first time publicly unveiled the
contents of the Constitution.
which is to serve as an
organizational framework for
the establishment of a
Commuter Club. Pending
approval by the Student
Legislature the document will
also entitle the Club to receive
monetary appropriations from
the Student Government

In his address to the sparse
gathering of no more than thirty
or forty students. D'Andrea
carefully outlined the conlenlSof

emphasizing the most important
section.
Information Office Needed
According to the document one
primary goal of the Club will be
the institution of a Campus
Information Office, "where the
commuter may more easily find
information of activities on
campus Most frequently
mentioned as a possible location
for such an office is the old
barber shop in the Campus
Center basement. Furthermore.
the Constitution calls for the
maintenance of a commuter
bulletin board. the development
of an on-eampus room in wMch

Professor Houston Baker. one
of the first black Americans. to

The results of a recent follow­up

has shown the Maintenance

to judge lhe effectiveness of lhe

requests.
As of October 16. the
maintenance starr had
completed 93 of 130 requests
made for room repairs. These
are requests made since the
start of the school year. whether
the damages arc listed on the
room inspection form filled out
earlier or not.
Aboul the follow-up. Mr.
Boucher said. "I was pleasantly
surprised. I think we arc getting
more of a response from Mr.
Williams than in the pasl."
McEnroe too was surprised,
but pleased with the results of
the survey
He noted, however. that this
figure, or those items checked,
were not all those repairs listed
on the room inspection forms
filled out when each student
~ntered the room.
A follow-up study on these
repairs, as well as corridor
damage is in the planning stages.
McEnroe said.
He thought that this study
showed an established priority
on the part of the maintenance
staff. The urgent requests were
handled with 71.5% efficiency,
while lesser damage and­corridor
damage were handled
later. He stated that this priority
seemed to fulfill .. the needs of
the students" more than past
procedures.
The study was done by the
resident advisor on each floor.
Requests were filled out and sent
to the Student Services office.
There a copy was made and
forwarded to Mr. Charles
Williams, director of
maintenance. As each item was
completed or repaired, the RA
would note that it had been done.
Requests ranged from the
need of lock and door knob. to
bees and hornets, which the
colder weather took care of.
Not all of the repairs done
were of an emergency nature.

recently.
Developed at the University of
Ottawa, the study is an effort to
make college life more
beneficial to students.
Com'prising the group will be
Glen Kenney '73, and Gerry
Daly. '74, chairmen: Dr. James
Phillips and Dr. John McCarthy,
advisors: and representatives
from the dormitories chosen by
the donn coordinators on the
basis of interest. awareness. and
proficiency in verbal expression.
Weekly. two groups will meet.
each consisting of a student
chairmen, advisor, and
representatives from eadl dorm,
with the possible inclusion of a
commuter. Student reactions
will then be discussed by a joint
meeting of group leaders.
According to Mr. Scbimpf. the
separate group meetings will
provide a certain "check"
against isolated opinion.
Typical discussion questions
are: "What was your most
satisfying experience this week?
the most frustrating? What
learning opportunities did you
take advantage of? What ones
did you pass up? What people
showed an interest in you this
week?
Student reaction will be
generalited as a basis for
determining changes in
organization, physical structure.
and staffing necessary for
improved donn life.
Comparing the dorm study
program with a questionnaire­type
survey, Dr. Phillips
describes the program as "more
reliable and a better' approach
to understanding dorm life - how
the average Fairfield student
feels aoout life in the dorm, both
positive and negative·
experiences. "
Recognizing tlie necessity for
an accurate representation of
student opinion, Dr. McCarthy
noles: "To the extent that the
students are representalive. the
program will be beneficial: to
the extent they are biased. it will
be misleading."
A more ideal situation would
involve more groups of students,
he admits, but the "problem of
manpower" to act as qualified
advisors prevents that
arrangement at this time.
"It would not be feasible for
the school alone to fund such an
operation. The payroll problem
in itseU would far outweigh the
benefits. Unfortunately. past
experience guides present
decisions. and we see no
possibility of restoring the
machines in the near future.
Perhaps. after discussion with
the Macke Company. we may be
able to inaugurate a trial
installation of machines_ The
outcome of such a trial basis
would be determined by student
respect for the machines, and. in
effect, for each other."
So. if you want a candy bar or
cold drink machine in a
convenient location, it seems
necessary to prove to those who
will make the final decisions that
the machines will remain intact
and will benefit the students. As
one commuting student said. "I
feel sorry for you kids on campus
- if I want a soda, it's in my
refrigerator. But where do you
get one?"

If a student is hungry after 11
p.m.. his best bet is to try to
secure a ride into town, for he
will find litUe in the way of
edibles here on campus. Since it
would prove impossible to have
the Snack Bar remain open late
into the night. the only other
alternative seems to be vending
machines. At the present time,
they are conspicuously absent.
"The lack of such machines is
the result." according to Mr.
John McKaye (campus
coordinator for Macke Vending
Machine Company), "of a
decision by our company
following vandalism which has
occurred at Fairfield in the past.
We regretted having to take such
action, but the facts speak for
themselves...
"Those machines located in
'unprotected locations,' i.e.,
areas in .....hich there is not
constant' supervision, suffered a
great amount of damage. Many
of them were rifled. some
irreparably harmed, not to
mention the very unfortunate
theft of a machine itsel£ from
one of the donns. This cigarette
machine (which initially cost
$t,OOO and carried a $250
inventory) was found in a
wooded area three or four
months after the theft."
"We are indeed intcrested in
serving the student population,"
stressed Mr. McKayc, "but such
vandalism leaves us no
alternative. We suffered a loss of
thousands of dollars last year. I
am afraid that a few students
are ruining it for the vast
majority of those who would
never consider such an action."
Mr. McKaye added thal the
Macke Company continues to
investigate possible sites for
machines. He noted the
installation of new machines in
the Campus Center Game Room,
attribuling this addition to the
"protected" aspect of the
locatton.
Mr. John M. Hickson, Vice
President of Business &
Finance. told the Voice that the
school is working along with the
Macke Company to satisfy
student needs and desires. "The
vending operation here is a
service to the student
population," he said. "There is
little or no return accrued by the
University; in addition. we are
more or less confined by the
limitations imposed by the
Macke Company. though in this
case they seem more than
justified."

Speaking out against
discrimination in employment,
housing, social services and
voting, Mr. Durkin detailed
some of the injustices in voting
alone: since suffrage is
determined by the number of
homes, the more affluent
Protestant is entitled to more
votes than the working·c1ass
Catholic. Also,
"gerrymandering" has led to
inequities in representation, he
added.
Mr. Flannery was particularly
impassioned when he spoke of
the internment of suspected IRA
members. He also noted, with
tears in his eyes, that since the
recent trouble in Northern
Ireland, he is required by the
United States government to
carry a card designating himself
as a foreign agent, because of his
membership on the Irish
Northern Aid Committee.
More angry than Mr. Durkin.
Mr. Flannery stated
emphatically, "Any man who
thinks that Ireland will get
complete freedom without
fighting is mistaken."

THE UNIVERSITY VOICE
Easter Up Rising of 1916, the
Republicof Ireland was set up by
patriots like Padraic Pearse and
James Connolly, along with
other members of the
Provisional government. Well·
armed Britishers suppressed the
revolt in a matter of six bloody
days.
Intending to quell the rebellion
by executing every member of
the Provisional government, the
British /itovernment only
succeeded in inspiring and.
unifying the Irish people In the
name of their martyred leaders.
Finally, the Treaty of 1921
ended the Civil War, but divided
the country. The Six Counties of
the North were separated from
the Free State of the remaining
26 counties. A seU-detennining
vote taken in 1918 where a
majority supported
independence. was disregarded.
and a British-controlled
govern~nt was established.
Both men. however,
emphasized the ma that their
objection to the present situaUon
was M..I.. r:pJigious, but due to
their sympathy for any
repressed minority, which in this
case happens to be Irish
Catholics.

Deirdre Dunning '75 arranged

reporting of the Irish crisis.
Summing up his purpose as
trying to alleviate the "appalling
tragedy" existing in the Six
Counties, Mr. Durkin stated.
"Today there is in Ireland a
confrontation bet.ween the Irish
who belong there and the British
wbodon't."
He called the British
occupation a "perpetuating
evil" and the British Unionist
government "autonomous but
responsible to Westminster."

since 1921, actually took over

"Perhaps we will continue this

or. it may end this week. and
subsequent series begin. such as

be set up in the. studio. and
students would phone in
questions).
"We have also been
considering having each dorm

and holding an elimination

Hofmann sees several
advantages to the contest. .'·It is

it seems quite a relaxing
activity. It indeed gets rid of
some of the apathy on campus.
and gives a boost to members of

though. I feel that the contest

In addition, Mr. Fessler. who

"When we moved to Regis

the same approach. The reaction

overwhelming. At that time, it
was decided to organize the
questions and anSwers into a

phenomenal success."
Hofmann then proceeded to
detail some of the "behind-the­scenes"
activity. "I try to
compose the questions by
myself, though it is almost
impossible for one person to
succeed in this task. Most of the
questions come from my own
knowledge. with the remainder
being obtained from source

Unfortunately. this knowledge
is sometimes erroneous. "There

was defeated in a flurry of
parliamentary maneuvering,
and the $13,000 contract was
approved with only Merritt and
Bottinelli dissenting.
Following the Free Press vote
the legislative body took up the
question of how the constitution
for tripartite governance should
be ratified by the student sector.
It was decided to refer the
matter to the Government
Operations Committee, which
would devise a suitable voting
procedure.
To conclude the meeting the
senators divided themselves into
the four legislative committees
(Rules. Government Operations.
University Relations. and

responsibilities they would be

The campus radio station,

Hofmann said that "the

passed, he explained,
membership in the
Subcommitlee, a division of the
University Relations
Committee. will be open to all
students.
Following referral of the
committee bill. the legislature
debated a second proposal
offered by Mr. Mednick
requesting that the Dean
proclaim Election Dayan
academic holiday. Supporters of
the bill maintained that the
declaration of a free day would
enable newly·enfranchised
students to vote at home in local
elections.
Speaking in opposition to the
motion, Majority Leader Dennis
Gallagher derided the practice
of granting students a holiday
when other workers were
granted no such privilege. He
funher maintained that students
who lived too far from home to
vote on Election Day should have
taken the responsibility to apply
for absentee ballots.
Mr. Mednick's bill. however,
was approved in a hand-count
vote 29·16 with one abstention.
The most important issue of
the night centered about the
appropriation of funds to the
Fairfield Free Press and
Review.
Under the terms of the Student
Government budget, passed at
the final session of the 1970-71
legislature. a contract for
subscription had to be drawn up
between the Free Press and the
Government before funds could
be appropriated to the
newspaper. Accordingly a
contract was drafted which
stipulated that $13.000 from the
Activities Fee be apportioned to

Student Government President
Steven Dormer spoke in support
of the contract maintaining that
the Free Press performed a vital
service as a means of
communication for the student

has expanded services in the

those services and must continue

Meeting in general session for
the second time of the school
year. the newly-elected Student
Legislature last Tuesday ratified
a $13.000 subscription contract
with the Fairfield Free Press
and Review, approved a
resolution urging the Academic
Dean to declare Election Day a
school holiday, and submitted a
number of other proposals to
committee fOf further
consideration.
The first item on the agenda
involved a resolution to expand
legislature meetings to a weekly
basis. Sponsored by Joe Hasten
'74. the bill provided that the
legislature convene weekly
rather than bi·weekly in order to
spread the legislative work load
more equitably. After scanty
debate the motion was referred
to the Rules Committee, which
will review the bill in more
detail.
Also returned to commiuee
was a motion presented by Steve
Mednick '74 calling for the
establishment of a
Subcommittee on Academic
Change.
Claiming that past efforts in
the area of academic reform had
been limited, Mr. Mednick
sought to establish a committee
which might "study the currenl

require organic change.
Petulance is appropriate for a
child, disdainful for an adult, and
disastrous for a society.
My personal critique of
Fairfield proceeds from my
convictk>n that it is presently
less than the sum of its parts;
that given its present
professional population,
Fairfield University could
achieve excellence, if only there
were a change in self-image and
self respect. To begin the
argument, I bave never been at
an American or foreign
university where there was as
much faculty concern for
students and for colleagues. This
dimension is precious, and an
unfortunate rarity. Equally rare
is the degree of catholicity in the
administrative mind: an
acceptance of diversity which
extends even to those who
maintain that the administration
is not entiUed to its own
particularity!
Further, by some devious
method (evidently part of the
world Catholic conspiracy; d.
Protocols of the Elders of
Rome), the administration has
succeeded in attracting a good
faculty. If it is short on good
researchers, SO too are many
universities today. But it is
heavily endowed with good
teachers; sensitive, concerned
and involved with people and
with Kteas. In time, scholars too
will come to Fairfield. (My own
feeling concerning publication
parallels Sholom Aleicbenl's
quip about wealth: "it is no great
insult to be poor - but neither is it
any great honor! "I
I have no passion to play
polemicist for Christian clergy.
However, the impressive Jesuit
community at Fairfield does
represent more concentrated
learning than one finds in many
larger universities. I could think
of worse curricula than simply
having each student spend a
month as the disciple of each of
the scholars on the hill.
Finally, Fairfield's crowning
achievement is my being there, a
self-evident truth which I
acknowledge despite the fact
that the thing of which I am most
proud is my humility. (For the
benefit of newcomers, my
scholarship is impressive, my
piety proverbial, my bearing
aristocratic, and as prevW:JUsly
stated, my modesty borders on
self-effacement. )
Since baptism by fire is not a
component of my theology, nor
popularity a pdority of my
agenda, I advocate gentle, but
acidic rain on the huddled
campfires of discontent. If
distance has distorted, rather
than enhanced my perspective, I
would welcome correction.

or, as an ancient .Aramaic
proverb reads, ..Accordmg to the
pain, so is the reward."
Educated people I meet
invariably constitute living proof
of the axiom that there is no
substitute for effOf1, discipline,
precision and diligence;
uneducated people who clamor
for short-cuts, educational
gimmicks, abbreviated
curricula, etc., unwittingly
witness to that same truth.
Those who deceive students into
believing that anything other
than diligence and effort can
bring intellectual rewards
thereby emasculate academe.
They deserve to be punished in
kind, despite the fact that their
approach itself signifies that the
punishment has already been
sustained.
I feel that the crucial function
of a teacher is to disagree with
his student, even to the extent of
searching for areas of
disagreement, if these are not
immediately apparent. Tbe
process requires creative
tensk>n, polarity and dialogue; to
the extent that a teacher agrees
with the ideas, values and
methods of inquiry of his student
- to that eztent is he valueless
and value-less. A perceptive
student eventually discovers the
sham, and resents the
substitution of submissive
agreement in place of
challenging alternative.

education is that which remains
after one has forgotten what one
learned in school. (OK! I over­state
again? Perhaps only
ezaggerations are true; credo
quia absurdum.) In large
measure (note the resort to a
qualification), it is the
development of a joy in
discovery, and the
transmutation of that vision into
one's own; falling in love with
ideas, and thrilling to creativity;
exciting travel into intellectual
history; the emerging vision of
political. economic,
philosophical and literary man;
the evolution of provocative.
original, and richly imaginative
associations; the realization that
the dream-stuff out of which
personality develops is not
private, but social: a collective
dream. In short, it is the
sophislication of intellectual
taste beyond the pizza and beer
level: the realization that snap
"humanities", crackle
"literature" and pop "socio­logy"
are insufficiently
nutritive, and dullen the appetite
for better fare later in the day.
I suspect that the essential
problem is not what is being
taught, but how it is being
taught, and how it reflects the
teachers' own method of inquiry
and inner being. Therefore, I
am invariably sobered (a
'detestable statel when I recall
Arthur Guitannan's Notes on a
Light Guitar, and his
admonition, "No printed word
nor spoken plea. Can teach young
hearts what men should be. Not
all the books on all the shelves,
But what the teachers are
themselves. "
Despite the rhetoric, there is
much right about Fairfield
University. In all institutions
there is an inevitable disparity
between ezpectation and
gratification, but to exaggerate
the eztent of the disparity is to
distort and prejudice the
appropriate response to that
institution. Therefore, I believe
that there should be self-imJ-Osed
limitations upon Open Season at
Fairfield: the seasonal episodes
when segments of the
community regard each other as
fair game. I fear the disregard of
institutional well-being for the
sake of particular goals; I hold
that human society presupposes
a commitment to institutions,
procedures, form and law
precisely when these are less
than perfect, do not satisfy
conclusions are simply
assertions which others have
already voiced, I take refuge in
the comforting aphorism
attributed to Emerson, to the
effect that "If you say something
which hasn't been said before,
you are very likely saying
something that won't be said
again." At the very least, these
paragraphs may well constitute
the definitive refutation of the
thesis that any essay can be
made "rspectable" if prefaced
by an appropriate disclaimer.
My contention is that today's
college "education" is largely a
misnomer: a euphemism for a
four-year moritorium. I don't
mean that change doesn't
transpire; rather, that it occurs
despite the academic program,
not as a necessary function of it.
Fortunately, many students
intuit that the period would be
better utilized for respite, sel(­assertion
and "social
exploration" (a further
euphemism), and thereupon
proceed accordingly, in eloquent
exploitation of their percep­tiveness
and refutation of our
self-delusion.
The most revealing indictment
of "liberal" education is the
paradox that by aspiring to be
"relevant" fa rhetorical
justification for gerrymandering
curricular contours) it has
achieved irrelevance. Education
is essentially the art of the
practical; alternately stated. it
is the art of drawing distinctions.
Yet consider a typically
"liberally.e(iucated" graduate
asking, "What can 1 do that an
uneducated person cannot do?"
Or, "How do the distinctions I
draw differ from those of an
uneducated person?"
The traumatized condilion of
American higher education is
hardly a vindication of
liberalism or a warrant for
radicalism. It is the inevitable
outgrowth of sustained,
uncritical, indiscriminate
rejection of authority,
institution, tradition and
discipline. Attributing
academe's malaise to
entrenched conservativism
simply adds insult to injury. I
question the implicit and explicit
assertions of those who equate
liberalism with enlightenment,
and identify change with
progress: colleagues and friends
whose idealism may be well­intentioned,
but ill-founded, and
patently detrimental to the Iindispensable pre--conditions for
those very societal and
individual goals which they
profess to cherish.
Specifically, my concern for
student welfare is no less intense
than that of my liberal friends.
However, I do not believe that
students should determine
curriculum content or
methodology. If students are, in
fact qualified for academic
decision-making, this calls into
serious question the supposed
maturity and widsom of those
officially charged with the
responsibility. Obviously age and
education are not guarantors of
wisdom; however, the prevailing
sentiment in some quarters
reflects the idea that they are
automatic disqualifications, and
that only the young can
understand themselves, their
needs. and their discontent. If
the funcUon of education in the
"humanities" (and, incidentally
in the sctences) is to address
such questions as. "Who am I,
and what should I endeavor to
become?" or "What insights,
guidance and wisdom does
human experience offer?", the
novice simply cannot juxtapose
question and answer. He cannot
pass on the relative worth of
knowledge, despite the
temptation to do so.
Similarly, I believe in an
organic relationship between the
two ends of the spinal column,

Activities Fee
BY ETAN LEVINE
RoUghly 68% of the total projected figure of 50,000
dollars has been collected in activities fees by the
Sludent Government so far this year. This "l0ney is
divided up under six major categories with various
smaller groupings under each major heading. Student
services, Social Committee, Community Action,
Governmental Operations, Clubs and Organizations
and FPR&R inc. are these specific areas reaching in
some measure to all segments of the student
population.
Under Student Services and Community Action
money is allotted for lectures, tutoring programs, the
trip to Appalachia, busses to and from events, and a
stipend to the i'~ine Arts Dept. for the Evenings of
Music. Through the Social Committee concerts are
sponsored and financial help is given to the various
groups organizing Homecoming, Dogwood, and Senior
Week. Other funds are appropriated to the numerous
clubs and to ~'PR&R inc.
Obvi~S1y every student benerits in some way
whether large or small by some service offered by his
Student Government. However, approximately 16,000
dollars has yet to be collected; a large figure three
months into the present academic year.
This problem could be alleviated if the fee were
~ made a mandatory part of. the tuition bill. 2% of the
total monies collected could be given to the
admini'stra'tfon 'to 'defray the extra bookkeeping costs
and help smooth over any complexes they might have
about being a collection agency for the Student
Government. This idea bas been suggested before but
to no avaiL The new Constitution for university
governance may allow for new consideration and
action.
Doubling or quadrupling the fee would bring about
many improvements in the services offered, but the
rinancial burden and resentment it might cause could
very well outweight the benefits. Gradual smaller
increases with popular approval seem best.

of the "country" sound, but with
the release of Cahoots, the Band
has definitely lost something.
Music from the Big Pink and The
Band albums were excellent
productions of a new and
versatile sound for their time.
and to this date they are
considered fine country-rock
albums. But the Band reached a
falling off point when they came
through with Stage Fright. The
music on this recording was still
performed professionally, and
the lyrics still held that homey
style, but there was something
wrong. Stage Fright had to be
gotten used to in order to be
liked.
If someone were to question
whether the Band has moved
into a self-exile in the land of
mediocrity, the answer would
have to be a disappointed yes. On
Cahoots. the Band has forgotten
their most important tool, their
country appeal. Unfortunately.
while Bobbie Robertson's lyrics
are working toward a new
direction. the country music
influence on the rest of the Band
has remained. stationary.
Perhaps if Robertson stuck to

Cahoots is not without its
bright spots though. "Life is a
Carnival" is' a masterpiece of
homespun philosophy with music
that complements this down­home
feeling. Van Morrison
lends his singing and his
songwriting abilities to a good­bad
times song called "f'lIo
Pantomime". which is possibly
the best song on the album
because of his country influence.
"Smoke Signal" and "Volcano"
are also reminiscent of the
Band's old glory, but these are
only glimmerings on an
otherwise dull and misfitling
collection of songs.
If this is the "new" Band.
maybe I would be better
satisfied with the old. Cahoots
proves to be listenable, but it
will nev~r reach the heights of
the Band's first two albums.
Perhaps the Band needs to rest
and catch sight of their present
status, and their future position.
Maybe success has spoiled the
Band, and their fame lies in the
past. along with their suffering
and the beautiful music it was
mother to.
Most rock performers today
are walking tilhlrope along the
thin line which separates style
from repetlUon. Unfortunately,
a great deal of these performers
fall from the rope and land in the
territory of repetitive music.
Style is a commodity which few
performers attain and which
even fewer retain and enhance.
because it is only a few who are
in possession of the skill and
versatility to possess style.
There are a few justifi-cations
f9T the lack of
multi-faceted musicians
in existence. yet these reasons
are even too few to expalin the
painful over-abundance of dull
music. Perhaps the main reason
for not being able to produce a
new sound is the lack of
songwritlng as well as musical
ability in today's musical
performers. Another possible
excuse for the duplicity in
contemporary music is the
demands made by the public and
by record ing companies on the
performers to produce the
greatest amount of matel'"ial in
the shortest amount of time. In
this situation, the artist is giving
himself less time to perfect his
work. and in doing so hurts
himself as well as the public. A
final reason for the bland
similarity in sound could be
attributed to the general slump
into which rock music has fallen
in the past several months.
RecenUy there has b@en nothing
innovative happening:
psychedJia has come and gone:
moog has been around for awhile
but it has not been a saving force
in the music Held: orchestration
has become a standard ploy in
modern music: and the
"Country-down-home-b1uegrass­Nashville"
sound has b@en used
and abused by nearly every
group thal can handle a banjo. a

that it doesn't," the Dean says.
Dr. Vincent Murphy views his
job as a guide to students in
helping them choose academic
programs best suited to lheir
abilif)Cs and ambitions.
..Academic counseling is made
possible principly through an
available faculty," Murphy
stresses.
The former psycfiology
professor feels that a
relationship between the student
and his department chainnan
serves as a valuable basis for the
student.
Establisb lmage
At the same time, Dr. Murphy
indicates that. "What seems an
academic problem is often a
psycologkal problem."
The student must have an
identity, a self-image. and it is
·'the dean's job to let the student
know what his place is in the
University," the Assistant Dean
believes.
A real academic problem is
the inability of a student to
produce college level work.
Dr. Murphy says that there are
situations which require that the
Dean's office refer students to
Psycological services which is
better able lo handle particular
people.

Freshmen has a unique clientele.

experience is newest. Large
numbers of people come at
certain times such as

"Many freshmen want to
change their majors or drop a
course." Father says, "so they
come in for that." 11 is at this
time, just when mid'semester
grades are submitted. that
Father calls people into his
office to discuss any apparent
problems with their school work.
The former president of
Fairfield Prep. Father says that
some freshmen have time
budgeting problems and also_
that some have lo learn what
college is about.
Father's job is not one-sided.
"I am not exclusively an
academic dean. but am available
for students .....ith problems of
any kind;' Father stresses.
There are many aspects lo the
job which require that I try to be
a personal as .....ell as an
academic counselor."
Similar Roll
Many of the same views .....ere
expressed by Fr. Henry Murphy,
newly appointed Assistant Dean.
Although Father has been
assigned as Dean of the
Sohpomore Class. he emphasizes
that this in no .....ay restricts any
student from seeking his advice.
Since Father is ne..... lo his
position. he speaks ..... ith
somewhat limited experience in
this particular post, yet before a

Dean of Admissions and Dean of
the Freshmen Class.
Some sophomores have
approached Father in regard to
course changes and others will
be called in when mid·semester
grades are distributed.
Availability Stressed
"My primary runction is that
of an academic counselor. In
carrying out this duty I guide and
advise students in choosing
academic programs which are
best suited for their needs and
wants." the former English
professor states.
Father maintains that this
does not prohibit students from
going to him with any other
problems. "Everything relates
to academics in a student's life
and no one should feel shy about
seeking out help or just a
listening ear," Murphy says.
There are four deans and each
presents a view of his role in
academic counseling for the
student. What this means lo a
student in need of some advice is
difficult to determine. A
question does arise as lo whelher
the counseling is made perfectly

Deans Discuss Roles
By Catby Buxton
Much attention has been
focused lately on an otherwise
sleeping giant. the Academic
Division of the University.
Recent statements by the Dean.
Fr. CoUghlin have fostered
questions about academic
counseling offered by the Dean's
office and what lhe specific: role
of a dean is in reference lo

Rev. Alfred E. Morris, S.J ..

the Rev. Henry Murphy, S.J.,
Assistant Dean.
Each of the four deans sees his
role as academic counselor
important to the entire college
experience of the student, yet
each has a different perspective
on the job.

As Academic Vice-President,
Fr. Coughlin says his specific
function is to maintain the good
academic reputation of
Fairfield. It was this function
which prompted his
chastisement of the faculty
because 53% of the grades given
last semester were B or beuer.
"A mark means what it means,"
Fr. contends. "C is the average
grade: it's a good grade and we
recommend anyone for graduate
school who has an average of
C+," maintains Coughlin.
Fr. Coughlin continued in
saying that if such a percenlage
of students were really doing

phone to call Luigi's and hearing
that the guy downstairs is having

The phone company has also
tried to cajole a few
organizations on campus who
have extensions to give them up
so the pairs could be used for
private lines. But most of them
have stood their ground,
clutching their receivers.
The obvious solution to this
problem is the installalion of
more aerial cables. However.
the University contends that if

telephone company insists that

THE UNIVERSITY VOICE
Many students on campus may
be wondering why they have not
yet received telephones in their
rooms which they ordered from
lhe phone company sbl: weeks
ago, There's a good reason for it
and it's not that the phone
company is lazy.
Every phone on campus,
private and extension. must go
through an electronic switching
station which is located in
Bellermine. Each building on
campus is fed by an underground
or aerial cable from Bellermine.
Each aerial cable can supply
only a certain number of phones
because a pair of wires is needed
for every phone and the number
of pairs these cables can carry is
limited.
With the rapid expansion of the
University in the last few years
no new aerial cables have been
installed. Bannow and Southeast
were connected to a previously
existing one, as will be the new
dorm being built in the spring.
Thus, there just aren't enough
pairs of wires to go around. so
people are going without phones.
This problem is most severe in
Loyola because of the many
offices in the building needing
telephone facilities including
Student Services, Public
Relations and now Security.
Because the cables are so
Interested students are usually
screened in the spring prior to
registration for courses for the
following year. These interviews
with the seminar instructors,
says Fr. Coughlin. enable well­rounded
students whose q....s
aren't as high equal chance to
gain admittance to the seminar.
Six Credit Hours
Each of the two seminars
counts for six credit hours each
semester. though Fr. Coughlin
suggests that the programs
should involve more work than
two normal courses.
While the general direction for
either of the seminars is
established by the group, the
humanities course tends toward
a "great books" approach while
the science program covers
general areas in both lhe
physical and biological sciences.
The humanities. taught by Dr.
Morris Grossman. of the
philosophy department. and Dr.
James Farnham, of the English
department. generally requires
each of its students to read two
books and write one two or three
page "reaction summary" paper
per week. In addition students
are responsible for one longer
·'term" paper each semester.
Students in the science
program. 100. usually cover two
books in addition to other
supplementary readings each
week. While only one term paper
is required each semester. the
material covered in these
classes is generally more
technical than its counterpart.
It is headed by Dr. Donald
Ross. of the biology department,
and Dr. Jerome Meli, of the
physics department.
PopulatioD Problem
While interest in the
humanities program among
prospective freshmen over the
past two years has remained
strong. with anyWhere from 50 to
80 students applying, relatively
fe ..... have attempted to join the
science course, according to Fr.
Coughlin.
With this year's science group
numbering only ten students. the
dean explained that if interest
continues to drop, the program
will have to be terminated.
Other than the population
problem, Fr. Coughlin admits
that seminars have "very much
met my expectations over the
past years."
Dr. Grossman points out that
the humanities seminar allows
for much more individual
attention of the students,
especially with their writing
skills.
"The seminar also makes
possible a closeness. and
exploration .....hich could not
normally achieved in the
classroom," he added.

Rounding out the weekend will
be Sunday's 12 o'clock noon
hockey game against St. Francis
- the league champion for the
past three years. The Stags have
yet to beat their rivals in three
years of regular season play but
they did manage a win three
years ago in a best of three
league championship series.
St.Francis has lost most of its
key men from last year's club
and has started off slOWly with a
1·2 mark this year. They beat
Fordham 5-..L and lost to St...­John's,
6·2. and Nassau 7-2.
Coach "Doc" McCarthy's
skaters won their first contest
over Newark 1~1 but dropped a
4-2 decision to Nassau last
Friday. The Stags have a knack
for starting slowly in early
season but each loss is even
more significant this year with
the regular season schedule
having only sixteen games on it.
The Nassau loss was not one to
be ashamed of however as Coach
McCarthy points out that the
Nassau club is probably the
strongest team the Stags will
face this year.
Despite the early season loss
the Stag hockey team remains as
one of Fairfield's strongest
sports attractions and looks to be
the first championship caliber
team in anything around here in
a long lime.

the second period to score four
times.
Nassau opened the seoring at
1:41 in the second period. While
the Stags were down a man due
to penalties. Nassau came in on
two different occastons to score
power play goals at 7:36 and
8: 12. Nassau finished their
scoring at 12: 45 in the period.
The Stags skated hard in the
third period. but their attempts
to tie the score were squelched
by Nassau. Fairfield's first goal
came at 6:~ in the period off a
pass from Ed Stefan to Chuck
FriSIna. At 7:39. in an attempt to
clear the puck away from their
net, Nassau tapped the puck into
their goal for the Stags. Chris
Stanton was given credit for the
goal and an assist went to Jim
Bolger.
The Stags outshot Nassau 18 to

and one assist. totaling five

extends back to two years ago
when the Stal!"s pulled out a
thrill inR 2()..19 Win.
A win this year however hasn't
come about through the Stags
first six games and the offense
has yet to put any points on the
board.
The season long scoring
drought was broken in last
week's 2:).21055 to mighty Marist
but that was about it as the Red
Foxes completely dominated the
game.
The main cog in Marist's
offensive machine was running
back Nigel Davis who was called
on to rush 32 times and
responded with 133 yards.
The only bright spots on
offense ror the Stags were
running backs John Lynch and
newc(,mer Cliff Gunn.
Fairfield received the opening
kickoff but an early lost fumble
paved the way for Marist to
quickly gain the upper hand.
Marist Capllaliles
The fumble was recovered on
lhe Stag 45 and Marist promptly
dro\'e to paydirt in three plays
with Davis going over for the TD
from seven yards out. The point
after 1l't.l~mpl was wide as
Marist led 6-0.
Again in the first period the
Stags couldn't move it
offensively and Marist wasted
little time In scoring again. The
big play was a 45 yard pass play
going from quarterback Oon
Cappolino to end Tim Murphy
which put the Foxes deep in
Fairfield's backyard.
The TO came on a short plunge
by running back Murray
Mulligan. The point after kick
was successful and Marist held a
13-0 first quarter lead.
Second quarter act ton was
slight as the Marist machine was
slowed down and Fairfield never
threatened.
The third quarter witnessed
one of the Stag's mosl exciting
moments of the year as they
broke their scoreless streak with
a safety after a disputed Ed
Kubik touchdown was called
back.
Marist received Ihe kickoff
opening the half and appeared
well on its way to another TD as
quarterback Cappolino
connected again with his end
Murphy on a long completion.
Kubik jarred the ball loose from
Murphy and picked up the ball
racing 60 yards for an apparent
touchdown. The referee
however, ruled the ball dead at
the spot of the recovery at the
Fairfield 40 yard line.
Infense Scores
The Stag offense managed to
mount a small drive after this
but again was forced to punt. A
well placed punt by the Stags'
Bob Simpson was downed at the
Marist 2 yard line.
The Fairfield defense forced a
Marist fumble and standout end
Tom Hildebrand recovered for
the safety and the club's first
points of the year.
Fairfield then received the
punt after the safety and the
offense began to mount what
looked to be its first sustained
