Heavy Work Load Hils Students
Are you so s.....amped with
school work lIlat it seems lIle
more yoo do, the more behind
you are? You are not alone. Most
students feel that lIlis semester
is much more difficult than
previous semesters,
The heavy workload is
aunbuted by some to a
seemingly short. thirteen week
semester. Some students believe
thai the teachers feel pressured
by Fr. Coughlin's September
chastisement or the facuh.v for
the percentage of good grades
given last year.
Many students feel that th~r
teachers are cracking down and
demanding more .....ork for a
decent J!rade that they
pre\ loosl:- may ha\·e. .
On the other hand, the several
faculty members queried, denied
any change In their assignments
or grad109 caused by Fr.
Coughlin's \'iews, They also
believed that their course plans
pro\'ide ample upportunity for
students to show what they know
so the grade received bv the
student is deserved. .

Some students wish more tests
were given in their course,

thecommiuees.
Faculty delegate Lisa Perkins
added that a commitment to
weekly sessions would prove too
much of a burden both to the
faculty and student members.
Eventually, the motion's
sponsor. Joe Hasten. withdrew
the bill although promising to
resurrect it in the .second
semester.
The Government Operations
commlltee was then quer'ed as

devoted to the appropriation of
funds to the Football and Hockey

various amounts of money
allotted by .the Appropriations

opposition. questions were
raised concerning the wording of
the four monetary bills.

noted that ··there was a total of
S42 for fire extinguishers on the
damage report. Far from being
toys. these extinguishers are
provided for the use of students
in time of need. Waste of these
materials could be serious in
case of a fire."
.. Aside from the safety aspecl
of the situation," Mr. Williams
said. "students should remain
mindful of the $300 fine in case
one is apprehended while setting
off a false alarm. It is a most
serious action. and should be
viewed as such by the entire
Uni\'ersity community."
Firemen's Duty
Since the firemen are. in the
end. the people most directly
involved with the activalion of
an alarm. the Voice spoke wilh
several members of the staff at
Station No.2. Fairfield. It was
reported that every alarm that is
sounded on this campus costs the
department I and. finally. the
taxpayers of Fairfield I $250 per
piece of equipment. This figure
is due to the fueling.
maintenance and upkeep of the
necessary fire engines and
equipment.
··It is not vie.....ed by us as an
incon\'enience to resPond to an
alarm. regardless of the time of
day or weather conditions." said
Captain David Russell. "This is
our job. Howe\'er. we are quite
concerned about mcidents which
may occur as we respond to a
call. It takes from about one­and-
one-haU to three minutes for
us 10 reach the Fairfield
University campus. On the way.
we are naturally mO\'ing at a
\"er~' rapid pace.· '
"Last year. there was almost a
verv serious accident at the
l"\orth Benson Road entrance.
Our ladder truck was making the
lurn onto campus. 'A'hen a car
with a lady and two children
inside skidded around us. just
barely avoiding an accident. We
were more disheartened when
we discovered. however. that we
were responding 10 a false
alarm. At least three lives could
have been lost because of a
prankster. "
EmerceDCY' Nol • Toy
"One should activate an alarm
only when there is a fire. We are
dedicated to anslliering these
alarms. and to assisting people.
It is far from a joke - for there
may be lives hanging in the
balance. If we answer a false
alarm in one location_ we may be
unable to respond to a call from
an area in which there trul~' is a
fire ...
It is obvious that activation of
an alarm carries many more
ramifications than may at first
appear. Hone's reasons are
merely to see a lot of activit~· on
campus. perhaps he should look
elsewhere for entertainment.
Besides. Captain Russell has
promised Ihe Voice that if ··the
children .....ant to see the big. red
fire trucks. ha\'e them come
down to the station. We'lI ~h'e
them a hat. let them ring the
bell. and - if they like -- they can
even sit in the dri\"er's seat:'
73ThisYear
"This year. there have been ;3
alarms. Approximately one-half
of these have been triggered by
the telephone company. in the
course of ordinary work on
telephone 1ines on campus.
However .• and this is of great
concern - there have been 19
alarms which we define as being
of 'malicious' nature. I; others
have been of accidental origins
and/or equipment failures."
"We had a fire in Regis Hall
recently. one which presented a
potentially dangerous situation.
We were confronted with a Jl:as·
line leak. The alarm was
sounded. ~'et students remained
in their rooms assuming what
seems to ha\'e herome a
carefree attitude about such a
commonplace occurrence.
Another alarm? Big deal.
Acceptance of such an attitude
could result in injuries and
death. Perhaps it is thai students
don't understand the complexity
of the operation. but the entire
situation reminds me of the boy
who cried 'Wolf~' too often. and
was ignored in the end. We
certainly hope 10 a\"oid such a
condition here."
In an auempt 10 clarify other
aspects of the problem. the
Voice interviewed Mr. Charles
ft. Williams. Director of
Maintenance. Along with his son.
Charles Jr.. Mr. Williams
informed us thal the school
maintains the fire alarms in all
buildings on campus. Mr.
Williams. Jr.. attended a week­long
lraining seminar on Cape
Cod given by the Simplex Time
System. This course was funded
by the Unkersih'.
. 3Types of Alarms
The alarms on campus are
primarily of three types. One
can be reset with a key. another
with a wrench lock. There is still
another one which is quite
complex. and this last type is the
one with which Mr. Williams.
Jr.. is concerned. "Some of the
alarms," he said. "must be
turned off. some are on a c.\'c1e
which automaticallv silences
them. Should .....e t>e unable to
reset the sySlem properly. we
.....ould notify an outside firm. and
they will come on campus to do
the repair .....ork...
Mr. Williams stressed the fact
that his department regularly
maintains supervision over
campus facilities. ·>'the fire last
year in the Regis Hall elevator
.....as not the result of equipment
failure." he said. "That fire. and
the one in l"\ovember 19iO in the
boiler room in ~orthwest Dorm
appear 10 have been set.··
In addition. Mr. Williams

arrangements with business,
industry, and public institutions
and agencies. he says.
Each student's program,
though. will retain sufficient
nexibility to enable him to
switch to a related occupation
later with a minimum of
additional training. In addition.
each student in a career
education program will always
retain the option of going on to
higher education. Dr. Marland
points out.
In dealing with the problem of
preparing the student to enter
the job market. Dr. Silverstone
says. "I believe it is one of the
responsibilities of the school
system to work with their young
people to help prepare them for
work."
"This must be done with the
option open for the youngster to
go on 10 college. should he so
decKle. "
The grant program. according
to Dr. Silverstone. could lead to
a substantial change in public
secondary school education.
Spanish Department
To Start New Courses
By Kevin ClInla
There is much more to a fire
alarm than co-eds clad in
bathrobes: Aclivation of an
alarm calls into action members
of the school's Security and
Maintenance Staffs, as well as
the firemen from the town of
FairHeld.
Mr. James P. Barrelt.
Director of Security. explained
the process which transpires
with everv fire alarm. "When an
alarm 'is pulled. it is
immediatel:-- registered on our
board here in the Security
Office. We are aware of the
dorm and approximate location
of the active alarm. and
members of our force are
dispatched immediately to the
trouble area to invesdgale the
situation...
"At the same time. the signal
is relayed to the Fire Station in
to ..... n: Under ordinary
circumstances. the department
will send one truck to the
campus. and notify other
neighborin~ stations to be on the
alert for possible motivation.
Off-duty firemen have monitors
in their homes. and these may be
sounded as well."
Upper division courses
concentrating on either the
literature and cuhure of Spain or
Spanish America are now being
offered to Fairfield Spanish
majors by the Spanish section of
the Foreign Language
Department.
The Spanish Department is
also offering a Spanish American
Area Program to provide a
comprehensive historical and
intellectual approach to a better
understanding of Spanish
American nations through an
interdisciplinary course of
study.
Spanish majors ..... ishing to
concentrate in these areas will
be required to take the Hislory of
Latill America IHistory 163-1641
and a Survey of Spanish
Lileralure (Spanish 101·102)
along with literature courses in
the major field. Wilh these
courses and student electives in
other related disciplines the
program aims to provide the
student with a more complele
understanding of the· area of
concentration.

Each community will appoint
a representative team to attend
the conference so the institute
can assist them in establishing
Iheir respective programs and

U.S Commissioner of
Education. Dr. Sidney P.
Marland. Jr.. in a statement to
the International Conference on
Education. described career
education as being "designed to
prepare students for the attache
case professions as well as lunch
box occupations."
It is with this concept in mind
that the grant program is being
administered. Dr. Marland said.
.. American schools are
producing too many youngsters
who qualify neither for a job nor
for college_"
"Many high school graduates
go on 10 college only because
they haven'l the vaguest idea of
what else to do."
Dr. Silverston. Fairfield's
administrator of the program
savs. ··there is no question but
thill the present high school
curriculum is primarily
designed for college youngsters.
Those who do not go into college.
except for those in commercial
education courses. get

According to Dr. Marland.
career education is designed to
gh'e every youngsler a genuine
choice. as well as the intellectual
and occupational skills
necessary to back it up.
It is a blend of vocational
education. general education and
college'preparatory education in

Dr. Marland points out thai

There are conflicting opinions
about the atmosphere for stud,·

.. It·s great to have other

Among the difficulties of living
at certain parts of the beach are
the tides. When there is a full
moon. certain areas of the beach
flood and it is impossible to get
through without ruining a car. If
a mistake is made in reading the
tide charts. students may miss
tests because they could not get
through a flooded road.
Matt Grasberger said. "There

MaD)' Methods
The means through .....hich
students procure housing at the
beach are many. Some had to go
through a realtor in which case
there was a rolling list of names
In February or March. when it
came time for the agent to MOW
the homes. those students with
their names on the top of the list
had preference as to which house
thevcould choose.
Other groups of students made
arrangements through previous
tenants. The landlord of one
home at the beach lets her
present tenants inten·jew and
rCC()mmend a group of students
Still other students. ha\'m~
known the tenants from the vear
before, contacted the landlord
and made arrangements
independentlv. thus avoidmg a
realtors fee.
The fact common to all of
these melhods of obtaining
leases for houses at the beach
seems to be the urgency to do so
at an earl~' date The majority of
students who live at the beach
had completed arrangements
privately through landlords well
before the end of first semester
of the year before.
The costs of living at the beach
are different. according to the
house and the number of
students living in one house. An
av('ra,lte rental fee appears to be
$71 a month per person. This
figure does not include the
ulililies bill whleh varies
according to whether the house
is heated with gas or electricity.
A poll of utilities expenses up to
the present would be inaccurate
because the cold weather has not
begun which inevitably will
boost this expense.
Better .'cod
One of the most poignant
advantages of living at the beach
appears to be the improved
cuisine. "The food is better and
it's to one's own tastes.

The average cost of food per
person is SID a week. Some of the

Under the old terms of
ownership the Student
Government. and more
specifically. the Government
President. were liable for
damages caused by the van or its
occupants. With a transfer of
ownership the YIC. as the
primary user of the van......ould
assume all responsibility for
maintenance and insurance.
The question arose. however.
as to whether or ~t the YIC
.....ould assume all costs in
mainlaining the \·ehicle. Daly
admitted that present YIC
finances did not permit the
social organization to assume
additional fiscal burdens without
an increase in funds from the
legislature. As a result
maintenance costs could only be
covered through the imposition
of a rental fee on other clubs and
associations desiring to use the
van.
senator Merritt objected to the
van's transferral as a
mooopolization of the vehicle's
use by one group. He also
opposed the sale of a "$1900
commodity" for only $1 and
proposed that the entire mOllon
be referred to comminee for
further study. His proposal was
soundly defeated. and the sale of
the van was eventually approved
by a roll call vote of 26·8,3.

provisions of the bill, the Liason

Criticism of the measure

"over-extension of executive

a "new bureaucracy:' Ken Daly

obviously confused the General

unanimity was nect!SS3ry before
any actions could be undertaken.
Furthermore. the ...eto was
created at Yalta. not San
Francisco. as Mr. Hove implies.
Whatever the "infamy" o( some
of the other decisions at Yalta.
this is one decision. I belie...e.
that was extremely wise. What it
did was to limit dramatically the

realistic conser...atives and
liberals came to accept the ...eto
as a necessary evil--a means for

capabilities. A generation
before. expectations about the
League of Nations had raced
preciptously ahead of its

disastrous effects.
As a result of the U.N:s more
realistic structure. the oceasions
where the U.N. has acted as an
independent force in .world
affairs are very few. They
include. as Mr. Bove points out.
the very controversial operation
in the Congo. as well as the
equally contro...ersial operations

On balance. I think all three of
these "polici! actions" were

By Larry lIalloran
Who is usually still studying in
the dorm loungE: at 3:30 a.m. on a
Thursday night? And who gelS
the reputation as an "egghead"
or a "brain" on the floor? And
who faces the increasing
difficulty of not being able to
attain the ultimate goal of four
years of .....ork - medical school?
The answer is as obvious as the
problem is complex. It's lhe pre­med
student.
Still O\'er ISO students face
these problems today as they
work their .....ay through
Fairfield's nationally "ranked"
pre-med major program.
So. the biology major. through
his or her studv habits. social
orientation and immediate
career pressures is a unique
element in the academic
community.
Biology majors. including
lhose who inlend to go on to
medical. dental or veterinary
studies or simply teach or
research. are required to fulfill
the liberal arlS core curriculum
while completing four semesters
of biology. three of chemistry
and one of physics_ Other science
courses may be taken in addition
to these,
This leaves the biology major
with twelve credits or three
courses to be used in free
electives.
Heavy Load
Dr. Donald Ross, pre-med
advisor and professor of biology,
feels lhat this course load gives
the Fairfield pre-mcd student a
useful varielV of courses while
completing' the necessary
background material in the
sciences.
He feels lhat the program
shows "pretty good balance". as
proven by former students'
scores on the \'erbal. and general
knowledge sections as well as
the science portions of the
Medical College Admissions
test
The Chairman of the Biology
Department. Dr. Frank Rice
admits that the .....ork-Ioad of the
biology student is more taxing
than that of the other students,
He said, "They lbiology
majors) have a much hea\'ier
.....ork-Ioad. carrying 19 credits
instead of Hi" This includes
labs,
He continued by explaining
that the program is outlined to
all freshmen who express an
interest in biology. so "'no one is
caught nol knoWing .....hat he is
gettmg into."
Discussing the fact that 45% of
those students who entered as
biology majors leave the
program after t.....o years. Dr.
Rice saKI. "'That's about normal.
Some find it too hard. others just
lack the motivation, Some. like
myself. would rather not go
through all the work of medical
school and go on to graduate
studies_ ..
He cited that \'ery few
students leave the program after
the junior year,
When several freshman pre­med
students were asked about
the difficulty they were having
tor not having I with the course
load. their general reply was
that a minimum of two hours per
night on science courses was
required to be prepared for
classes.
The students. Pam Wilson.
Edward Seage. Dan Fitzgerald.
and Edward Pezzaro all felt that
their program of study thus far
was demanding but not
impossible.
Tough Fight
Dr. Rice added that facing a
line·up of courses that includes
Botany. Genetics. Zoology. and
Organic Chemistry, pre-med
students are prepared "for a
pretty tough battle for medical
school. and the\' know it. The
ones that make' it are all well
motivated...
Most of the students
questioned stated that they were
pursuing a medical career
because they had "always
wanted to be a doctor."
Ed Seage said that he liked the
idea of helping people to get
well. while he also liked the
possibility of a comfortable
financial future.
. About the increasingly
difficult task. of placing qualified
students in medical schools.. Dr.
Ross explained, "Out of 92
medical schools in the country.
only 47 operate without some
kind of local or state resKlence
requirements. So IJ!ere are about
4iOO seats available to the 10.000
to 20.000 applicants."
He stated that the
enlargement of the program
here did not help the ratio of
recommended students to those
accepted into a medical school.
Largu Program
"Some people just won't
beli~'e lhat what worked on a
smaller scale won't work on a
larger one." was his comment
about the larger program,
Dr, Rice said. "We just can't
promise anything anymore."
With the increase of
"recommendable" students, he
saKI that perhaps 5O'l(o of those
"qualified" would get a spot in
med school.
In the pasl. with only about ti­50
freshmen entering the
program each year. Fairfield's
average was about 98%.
Dr. Rice stated that the
freshmen biology majors are
informed of this situation at the
beginning of each year,
Pam Wilson felt that the worry
over med school drove her on in
her studies.
Dr. Rice observed the same
moti\'ation In manv students.
Most of the other students
commented that the problem did
bother them, but they could not
find particular instances where
it was an acti\'e agent in
motivating their studies.
Dan Fitzgerald felt that his
dedication to his courses
somehow stigmatized him from
other students. yet his fear that
poor grades would keep him out
of medical school pushed him to
study,
Miss Wilson. among others,
did not sense an\' difference
between medical students and
others.
Dr. Rice noted that many pre­med
studenls are aCli\'e in extra­curricular
acti\·ities.
Late Lights
So. the immediate na'essit\· of
getting inlo medical school
dominates the pre-med student's
social and academic \'iewpoint.
Unlike many other disciplines.
the next goal is e\·er-present. So
too. it seems. is the lonelv

Mr. O'Brien says he does not

Beth Tampone feels that the
R.A. position. far from
detracting from her personal
life. makes it more interesting.
"Being on duty doesn't seem like
.....orking, it gives you more time
to be interested in more people'"
However. Joe Puzzo [rom
Campion'" comments that "In
the beginning ....'e had to lake the
lnitiati\'e for any interaction
with the students. especially the
freshmen. We had to go to them
before they would come to us."
AsKie from the personally
rewarding aspects of the job
there are other advantages.
R.A.·s are given their own room
and bath, phone privileges, room
and board for both semesters are
free and graduation fees are
paid.
However, there are
necessarily a few personal
disadvantages to the position.
Many of the staff members find
the job to be a 24-oourone which,
although they enjoy it. is
somewhat detrimental lo their
academic work.
Many R.A:s also miss the
companionship of the friends
they have (ormed at Fairfield
since they have no choice as to
where they will live or with
whom.
However. the staff agrees that
the rewards of the job greatly
outweigh the drawbacks.
The Selective Service System
has released a list of significant
changes in their Regulations
which will affect young men
facing the draft process In the
future.
One of the major changes
concerns 2-5 student deferments.
Undergraduate college students
who were not enrolled on a full­time
basis and making
satisfactory progress toward a
baccalaureate degree during the
regular 19i~71 academic year
will not qualify for 2·S
deferments.
The establishment of a new
c1assification-I-H-also is one of
the significant items in the long
list of changes. This
classification will be an
administrative holding category.
and men in Class I-H will have
inactive files and will nol be
considered for induction unless
they are reclassified I-A.
The new Regulations also will

advance toward student self·
governance has been made in her
dorm where students assume
almost all the responslbllltv.
The Head Resident
emphas~zes. the need for
commumcatlon between the
Residence Hall Staff and the
students concerning the whole
dorm situation.
"If we can get people talking
this year. we will have done
quite a lot:' Don comments.
There are no set guidelines for
the R.A. staff this year. They've
been given great flexibility
within the structure of the job.
Student Services will enforce a
dedsion made by a Resident
Advisor, whether it is agreed
with or not. provided he can
justify it.
For the rir:st time this year a
Residence Hall Staff Manual was
published. It provides guidelines
and general ideas on behavior.
But an R.A:s reaction to any
given situation and his whole
approaCh on the floor is left to
his own dise-ressil?n.
The R.A....Sthemselves find the

RAs View Jobs Differently
"To advise and counsel the
students within the limits of
training and capabili.ty on
academic, personal, socJal and
financial matters:' is one of the
primary duties of the ResideI?-t
Hall Advisor as stated In
Fairfield's Residence Hall Staff
Manual.
ThiS year the role and duties 01
the Resident Hall AdVisor are in
the mdst of a process of
development and change.
The position of the R.A. is very
different from the perfecl-type
job it was just five )'ears ago. At
that time Resident Advisors
signed students in and out at
night. enforced lights-out ~nd
distributed campuses. whIch
meant confining a student lo his
dorm for a s~ified period ?f
time. In other words, they did
everything but tuck the kiddies
in at night.
Today the whole philosophy
defining the R.A. position has
evolved lo quite a different one.
The R.A. is a student and a
member of the Senior class
chosen from among many
applicants after Inspection or his
appllcatkm and references and a
personal interview with Ed
Boucher, Don Omahan, John
McEnroe and Mr. Krell.
What determines the
assignment of a par~icu.lar ~ ..A.
to a particular floor IS hIS ability
to interact with the group of
students on the floor and his c0­worker.
There are two R.A.·s on
even' floor. Otherwise. the
system is somewhat random.

hopes that soon there won't be
any situations which demand
thiS sort of actIOn by the R.A.
"The eventual ideal is one of
student self-discipline and
personal acceptance of
responsibility," Don sta.t~s:
This year the responSibility for
the !Lfe style o( a floor is shared
bet.....een the Residence Hall
Association, comprised of
students elected (rom each floor.
and the R.A.
The eventual aim IS for the
R.H.A. to assume complete
responsibility.

Southeasl. feels that the greatest

StltdeDt Turnout Crucial
The crucial factor of the
project will be how the students
react to the ticket prices and
seat locations. Will thev view the
end zone seats as an' excellent
opportunity to provide them with
a rousing Stag "zoo" seetion?
Or. will they regard the
unreserved end zone seats as a
back seat to the action?
Cook is banking on a good
student turnout as well as a large
public following. His is an
inenviable position to be in. He's
got to sell the season ticket idea
to both the students and public
and without the luxury of a
winning tradition to put fonh as
his main product. Maybe Fred
Barakat's squad could do
something to boost the program
itself with their new style of play
and perhaps a more frequent
viclory. Let's face it a winner
would settle all the re\'enue
problems.
For the present. however. the
student turnout is most crucial to
gym payment and further
athletic improvements. Mr.
·Cook is earnest in his attempts to
pro\'ide the students with the
best possible athletic
opportunities and facilities.
This ticket dilemma is not an
easy one to handle. Hopefully
after the gym is paid off the
students ..... ill get the besl of lhe

meantime it .....ill be interesting
to witness the student end lOne

but the second year coach is

than lastyear·s9·t5 dub.
The big drawback of the
season ticket is that the $18.~
deal is an eod %ODe IDresen-ttI
seal. This has not been labeled
the official student seetion but
since these seats are not being
offered to the general public who
else is going to sit there? The
athletic department is counting
on students to fill this seetion.
This $18.50 ticket is the most a
student has ever had to pay for a
season ticket and yet in the past
the cheaper tickets were
reserved and on the sidelines.
Are the students being pUShed
back into the end zone? Mr. Cook
insists not because students may
purchase the sideline reserved
seats-for $24 that is.
Cook's DUemm.
Mr. Cook and the athletic
department are in a bind. The
gym costs must be paid.
Therefore a big pitch has to be
made to the students and an even
bigger one to the general public.
They have to figure on the
students coming anyway and
oUering the public the better
seats.
The situation is a touchy one.
H this sealing arrangement is
the only way to ensure payment
of the gym then it's necessary
for now. The seating plan should
only be a temporary set up.

Season basketball tickets
recently .....ent on sale at the
prices of $24 and $18.50 for the
Stags' twelve game home
schedule for 1971·2.
These prices are !loignificantly
higher than lOOse rates offered
to students in recent years.
This season the cheapest price
a student can pay (or a season
ducal is SI8.~ and this is for an
unreserved end zone seal. For a
reserved sideline seat it's $24.00.
Two years ago the athletic
department offered a special
reduced rale for a limited time
during which you could pay less
than $10 for a 13 game teservH
seat. Last )-ear the student rale
was SIS for a reserved seat at II
home conlests.
The prices are a lot higher this
year-but Why? The biggest and
possibly the only factor is that
money has to be raised to pay for
the renovilion of the
gymnasium.
Athletic Director Don Cook
earnestly believes that the two
prices oUered are the lowest
rates that could be given to
students and at the same time
hope to bring in enough cash to
get payment of the project well
on its wa....
DeflnUe Improvement
When you come right down to
it this year's home basketball
season will oUer a lot more in
terms of convenience .and
spectator comfort.
For the firsl time in too long
the Stags will be playing all
home games at home. There's
no more travelling to i\"ew
Haven involved. The drive
was alwavs a hassle and once
you got there you were treated to
the New Haven Arena and its
assorted luxuries.
Now there's no long drive and
the brighlness and color of the
university gym is a welcome
change from the Arena. The
Stags finally have a place to be
proud of when hosting visiting
teams.
Another plus (actor lor tnlS
season is that Coach Fred
Barakat is employing an eJ:citing
brand of run and shoot basketball
this year. The schedule is as
tough as ever and the season
outlook can't be too optimistic
