At Thursday's meeting several
students commented on
"seeming improvements" made
over the week. They agreed that
"at least some things appeared

Umbdenstock's claim to
"social success" was supported,
he said. by the fact that nearly 99
percent of the concert tickets
were bought and used by
members of Fairfield's student
body.
"1 was just amazed at the
heavy parllcipation on the part
of the undergraduates." he said.
All 2.350 tickets to the Beach
Boys Concert were sold out by
4:00 p.m. last Thursday, the
chairman reported. In addition
the package deals were all taken
by6:oop.m. that same day.

Four Complete .Heart Research
History Dept. Begins Raps
NOVEMBER 11, 1971
The title of his project is
"Research on Xanthine Oxidase:
Inhibition Study."
The enzyme, xanthine oxidase,
has been linked to heart disease
according to the work of Dr.
Kurt Oster. Overactivity of this
enzyme is also known to cause
gout by the oxidation of xanthine
to uric acid, Which occurs in high
concentrations in the blood of
gout patients. It is therefore
very important to find a
"natural" substance that will
inhibit the overactivity of the
enzyme. (An inhibitor of
xanthine oxidase is known. but it
is toxic if taken over long periods
of time or in large doses.l
Dr. Donald J. Ross. professor
of biology, first proposed the
idea of inhibiting the enzyme by
the two vitamins. rolic acid and
ascorbic acid.
Wood's job was to determine
the quantitative inhibition of
xanthine oxidase by folic acid
and ascorbic acid and by their
combination.
Two different starting
materials (substratesl on which
the enzyme (xanthine oxidasel
acts were employed, to
determine whether the inhibition
of the enzyme was unique to only
one starting material or was a
universal phenomenon.
Ismael Colon a chemistry
major is also interested in the
bio-chemistry field. He is
working under the supervision of
Dr. Edmund O'Connell,
professor of chemistry. His topic
is "The Inhibition of Xanthine
Oxidase by Folic Acid and
Ascorbic Acid."
Although Colon's 'subject is
similar to that of Wood. he
approached his study in a
different way. He concluded that
there is very little likelihood of
the formation of a compound or
complex. It further developed
that. nevertheless. the vitamins.
in combination seem to have a
greater inhibitor effect on
xanthine oxidase than either one
by itself.
"Whether or not they admit it.
the thing most parents fear with
regard to 24-hour visitation is
that their girls will now engage
in illicit sexual relations."
"What they don't realize is
that girls will have these
relations if they want them
regardless of dormitory
visitation policies. Furthermore,
by the time a girl is 18 she should
be able to decide for herself ....1Iat
kind of relationships she will
have."
"The problem that arose
because of the requirement that
parents must approve is very
questionable. It is my feeling
that by the time a person is in
college the parents have done
their job for the most part in
raising their children. [( they
don't have enough trust now,
they never will. "
"There has been little or no
change of behavior in the
residents of my house since the
initiation of the 24-hour policy.
Approximately the same number
of guests are being entertained
now as before the policy took
effect. Everything has worked
out beautifUlly, and Jhave had no
problem with guests or residents
....1Iatsoever. "
None of the University's eight
dorms operates entirely under
one option. Instead, units within
each dorm operate separately
under the policy chosen by its
students.
For example, Frontier Hall,
with 10 units. has seven with 24·
'hour visiation, two with limited
visitation and one unit where the
options are split - some students
wanted limited visitation, some
none at all.
Minneapolis. Minn. - (I.P.) -In
a study made by the Student
Housing Bureau at the
University of Minnesola,
studenlS indicated
"overwhelming" approval of the
so-called ';.24-hour option" or
"open dorm policy" inaugurated
last fall.
The study points out that less
than half the students use the 24­hour
option as often as once a
week. Some 57 per cent use it
once or twice a month, seldom or
not at all. However, 90 per cent
are in favor of continuing 24-hour
visitation.
Students also answered that
the majority - 72 per cent - do
not entertain guests of the
opposite sex more frequently
than under old dorm policies
which usually allowed liberal
open-house visitation.
The study concludes that this
does not necessarily mean he or
she will begin dating more in
order to make use of the new
policy. The only aspect of the
policy which a majority of
students objected to is the
requirement of parental
permission for those under 21.
Many students indicaled their
recognition that the open-dorm
issue is tied to a variety of
factors, such as Ole Universily's
moving away from assuming the
role of parent, efforts to make
dorms more attractive to
residents and to make them
more like the situations of
apartment-dwellers in the
community.

students seem to represent the
majority's views on the 24-boor

under the direction of Dr. Ahmed
Jamshidi. director of the
Cardiovascular laboratory at
Bridgeport hospital and senior
attending physician, Cardiology
section.
Currently Kulakowski. a
senior. is employed in the
Hematology laboratory at
Bridgeport Hospital.
The project title which won
him his undergraduate
scholarship was "Diagnostic
Inlerpretation of Laboratory
Procedures in Determining
Atherosclerosis."
Based on Mr. Kulakowski's
investigation. it was concluded
that in the majority of cases with
two or more coronaries, a direct
correlation with abnormal
laboratory tests could be found.
In the initial study of 50 patients,
it was found that in every
instance of an elevated blood
cholesterol and a raised blood
sugar there was found the
presence of atherosclerosis (a
form of hardening of the
arteriesl. Furthermore. in cases
of elevated triglycerides and
normal cholesterols. 75 per cent
of the patients were found to
have coronary artery disease.
Yet when the triglycerides were
normal and the cholesterols
were normal or elevated. only 50
per cent of the patients had
coronary artery disease.
When asked why he chose to
apply for this heart research
scholarship. Kulakowski said. "I ~
fell this gave me an opportunity
to express my interest in the
field of medicine and would tie a
worthwhile and rewarding
commitment if possibly this
research would make.>' a
contribution in decreasing

Have you ever heard a

introducing to the Fairfield

Another urge v..hich is deeply

striclly to define the issue under
discussion. the major emphasis
will be on the free and friendly
exchange of ideas and
information. and the temporary
breakdown of the roles of
professor and student which
often inhibits free discussion in
the classroom. Indeed, the
classroom is not often the place
for such exchange.
Furthermore. the Department
of History. in introducing the
idea o( the colloquium. proposes
to "act out" what it regards as
one of its major functions as part

Connecticut National and
People's Savings said they have

Arnold's Pharmacy has just

student's checks this year. Two

difficulties with students trying
to bounce checks. When trying to

management at Arnold's said the

This year, Arnold's will cash
checks up to $10 for students

THE UNIVERSITY VOICE
Since the University
Treasurer's office provides a
check cashing service for
students only at limited tim.es on
certain days, many students are
forced to go into town to cash
checks.
The Treasurer's office allows
check cashing for students at
specific times on three days
during the week. Additionally.
there is a S2S limit on the amount
for which a student may cash a
check. Many students find this
ceiling 100 small especially in
the event of special weekends
such as Dogwood and
Homecoming.
Some students from the
university have gone into town to
try to cash checks. They have
received a variety of responses
from an equally varied group of
stores.
The Grand Union is the largest
target for students looking to
cash a check. For customers
other than students, Grand
Union requires a registration
card from the store or otherwise
a driver's license. They will cash
check up to $35 for people whom
they know that do not have
registration cards.
Students will receive a
negative response. The manager
of the ston! states that there has
been a history of bad checks
from university students. The
store was forced to track down
students who "bounced" checks.
Though the university was

from its forty-year suppression
(by Clement XIV in the great

Jesuits, following S1. Paul's
dicta of being all things to all
men (" Are they Hebrews? So am

generation and must be
indefinitely laid aside if any
communication or credibility is
to be maintained.
The University Faculty
Handbook speaks of the
"Catholic commitment of
Fairfield University" (Sixth
Edition, October 1971, p. 28).
Just what does that mean in the
context of the changes which
were ratified in Rome in recent
years. anticipated by some
faculty and students at Fairfield
back in 1965 (when one of the
student demands was a reduction
in the twenty-seven credits in
philosophy required of all
students and the sixteen in
theology of all Catholic students)
and presided over subsequently
by the new (1964) President of

jostling and sometimes shoving
each other. at· times with
acrimony. more often with
amazing grace and ultimately
with ratification by the Jesuit
Administration, brought
Fairfield University into the
mainstream of American higher
education: more highly
qualified faculty than ever
before have been appointed
(even to the extent of making at
least 25 per cent of the faculty
"non-catholic"): the philosophy
department especially has been
professionalized (no layman
with a degree from a Catholic
University has been appointed in
at least five years) and the
theology department (which
changed its own name to
Religious Studies and redefined
its purpose, a momentous
change) as well; faculty salaries
have increased significantly and
requirements for promotion
stiffened; the faculty's right to
participate in decision making
has been recognited: the
curriculum has been broadened
and made freer; oppressive
rules and regulations for student
life have been just about
abandoned and students' rights
widely recognized: young
women were enrolled; and the
University has begun to relate to
the local community becoming a
force for progressivism in the
solution of urban problems.
And there are no longer any
religious requirements. What,
then, is the "Catholic
commitment"?
It certainly is not an
ideological one in any manner
since lhere never have been any
questions asked about the
personal commitments or values
of prospective faculty members
and both the philosophy and
theology departments,
traditionally the core of
ideological unity and orthodoxy
in Catholic education, have
consciously diversified
themselves in the successful
attempt to serve the humuities
and not just one confession.
There never has been any
attempt, to my knowledge, at
censorsbip (when the Index was
enforced, one simply got the key
and went into the cage,
embarrassing and mildly
harassing • one wondered why
only Americans obeyed what
cynical Italian car<linals
invented for anti-clerical
Italians to ignore • but not
controlling) and rightist radicals
such as William Buckley and
Wilmore Kendall and leftist
radicals as Eugene Genovese
and Roger Garaudy and just
plain professional skeptics like
Walter Kaufmann (The Faith of
a Heretic) have always been
welcome on campus.
At one lime the "Catholic
commitment" was probably
most discernible among the
faculty and student body since
most of the former were
products- of Catholic
undergraduate education and the
latter of Catholic high schools
and homes. While this is still
true of both (though there has
been a decline in percentages,
especially among the faculty),
the formal personal
commitment is no longer wbat it
once was. Our age is one of re­evaluation.
questioning. seeking,
alienation. denial. This obviously
has affected facUlty and
students, Jesuits and laymen.
And, on the face of it, most of the
laymen, faculty and students
alike, seem uncommitted· a not
unreasonable attitude for
members of an academic
community_
Again. therefore. what is this
"Catholic commitment"?
It is the presence of Jesuit
priests wbo identify themselves
as such and wbo are at the same
time bona fide members of the
faculty fulfilling the same
requirements as any layman and
having the same rights and
responsibilities. It is the easy
availability of these Jesuits and
some laymen as religious
coonsellors and of liturgical
worship for any interested party.
It is the recognition of religion as
vital a part of a humanities
curriculum as history or
literature. It is lhe presence of a
large and diverse philosophy
department which recognizes the
possibility of metaphysical
specualation - or at least the
cogency of pursuing some sort of
objective knowledge. This is the
"Catholic commitment of
Fairfield University."
Anyone with any perspective
should recognize the above as a
quite "conservative" or
"traditional stand and,
frankly. just about as
·"commltted" as possible in an
age so "liberated" that the old
'foes' - relativism, secularis:n,
anti-clericalism, dialectical
materialism • seem no more
than the warmed-up leftovers of
the pre-World War II age of
Innocence.

Alumni Board
Gives Approval
on Gym Change
The Board of Directors of the
Fairfield University Alumni
Association have written a
strong letter of approval to the
Board of Trustees for their
action in approving the
renovation of the University
gymnasium.
1n a letter to the president. the
Alumni Association noted that
"it would like to take this
opportunity to express our
overwhelming approval of the
decision of the Board or Trustees
regarding the renovation of the
University Gymnasium."
The gymnasium center wall
was removed early in the fall
and the seating capacity in the
gym increased to 3.000. The
Alumni have promised that their
annual giving program would be
directed towards defraying the
costs of the renovation.
The letter was signed by
William Sangiovanni. '62,
Secretary of the Alumni
Association.
In a related development. a
University of Connecticut
alumni group last week
criticized the UConn
administration for "being
content to settle for mediocrity"
in the school's athletic program.
In a "white paper" signed by
17 directors of the UConn Club
they condemned the decline in
athletics at UConn and wrote
that "we believe that talent is

very unfortunate that prominent
personalities in our academic
community would seek to honor
- the criminal organization which
made such atrocities possible.
Obviously. they are unfamiliar
with the actions of UN "peace"
forces in Katanga. In fact it
would be a grave travesty of
justice to do anything which
would aid and support such an
organization.
In any event I hope that by
next year Fairfield University
will refuse to allow any UN
activities on our campus without
thorougly considering the moral
implications of aiding such a
criminal orlilanization.
A few weeks ago the UN Art

Bruce Johnston did a moving

Dennis Wilson then gave some

they had just witnessed.
Fairfield University has not
seen a finer concert in a long
time and the stellar
performance of the Beach Boys
was marred only by the
destructive acts of some
verminous individuals on the
outside of the gym. With
perfection. the Beach Boys
presented their material. new
and old. for an enjoyable
Homecoming concert.

To most. the mention of the . \'
name Beach Boys will conjure
up images of surf boards. cars.
and bikinied girls. Yet to just as
many. the selfsame name will
inspire thoughts of a type of
music which has steadily
progressed and matured to its
present status of high quality.
Friday. Nov. 5, Fairfield I University was given a display of
the Beach Boys never fading
talent and their present
versatility as presented on their
most recent albums.
Without a doubt. the
expectations of the audience
Friday night were high with the
hopes of hearing all the old
Beach Boy favorites performed.
For this reason. many people
misunderstood the purpose of the
tirst part of the concert. The
Beach Boys. like any other
artists, would like to present a
more recent picture of their
abilities. They would prefer to
have their talent judged more on
the merits of their SufI.wer and
Suf's Up albums than on their
S.rfia' Safari or Sb.. DowD
albums. Granted, the music on
the earlier albums is ~ood, and it
may always be Beac;h Bov
music. but It is not expressive of
the present sentiments of the
group. Despite this
misunderstanding about what
Beach Boys music is. all the
songs in the concert were still
well received.
After the more than capacity
crowd was seated and quieted
down, the lights dimmed and the
Beach Boys appeared on stage to
begin their set with a rocking
version of "DarHn' ". The stage
entrance was so quick that it
took a few seconds to distinguilh
between the two Wilsons,
Jardine. Love and Johnston.
Once organized. Mike Love
became dominant spokesman for
the group in the first half of the
concert. and he gave his opinion
on a number of subjects
including the sometimes
inconsiderate din of the
audience.
Probably the turning point in
the concert was the performance
of . 'Student Demonstalion
Time". a modified version of
"Riot on Cell Block No.9". with
Mike Love doing a fine job on
Theremin. The audience was
well as the group itself began to
warm up to each other.
A version of "Help Me
Rhonda". which was partially
modernized by Jerry Garcia.
helped end the first part of the
show. Dennis Wilson then,
switched over to drums for the
final two songs of the opening
set, in which the ·group did a
superb job on "Sloop John B."
Following a brief intermission.
the Beach Boys began a short
series of solo performances by
the separate members of the
group. AI Jardine opened with
"Lookin At You (A Welfare
Son!it")", a soft ballad obviously

This is normal but such
acti... ity should be restrained to a
greater extent than it is now by
stronger suspension rules
concerning fights on an
indi... idual and team basis.
AFew Spoil It
Most of the teams and players
in the league aren't guilty of
such beha...ior. In racl. it's
frequently the truly first class
squads. in terms of clean play
and hard nosed competition that
emerge as the best in the league.
It C{lmes down to lhe problem
that a line must be drawn
separating good. clean
competition with primary
objecti...es of winning and having
fun and the tendency of a few lo
treat intramurals as a week-in
week-out bloodbath of fights and
brawls. It shouldn't be that
difficult to sort out those who do
belong on lhe field and those
who'd be better suited
elsewhere.
Set Stricter Regulations
If strict rules were set down at
the outset of a season as to ",-'hat
exactly would be tolerated and
what would not. perhaps the
football league and all
intramurals could benefit
immensely. It would certainly be
a step toward making the
inlramural operation more or

acti... ity that provides students
with an opportunity to ha...e fun
and compete on an athletic le...el
- not by busting heads but by
outdoing an opponent skilUully.
Fairfield's intramural football
league has a lot going for it -- an
abundance of unheralded
football talent. strong team
spirit and close competition
among the squads.
Unfortunately the campus
gridiron scene is marred by
infrequent instances of
unwarranted cheap shots,
ridiculous displays of
"animalism" and certain people
suffering from an "I'm lOugh.
I'm rough" complex by trying to
make touch football a contest of
violence rather than attempt to
outscore the opponent.
Too Lenient
It is too bad that such behavior
pre...ails and is allowed to prevail
without more strict enforcement
by the league's director Gary
Marzolla and the respective
game referees.
Granted. there has to exist a
certain degree of competiti...e
spirit. excitement and color to
make league play desirable and
appealing. Also in a contact
game such as football. despite
the fact that the intramural
league is "touch", there's bound
to be SOllle occasions of
