This year's court bas decided
that all those who fail to do
either of the abo\'e after
accumulating several tickets
will be placed on a list which is
sent to the security department.
Those cars listed will be towed
of( campus every time they are
found until the tickets are paid
for.
"In the past. parking tickets
have been nothing but a joke
around here, which is clearly
evidenced by the large number
of tickets which were never paid
for last year," Looney contends.
For those who owe money but
simply do not bring lheir car
back on campus, the court hopes
to give unpaid parking tickets
the same status as unpaid tuition
or room and board. In other
words, you don'l pay, you don't
graduate.
Looney emphasized that this
new "Policy will have to be
applied consistently to all
members of the community, and
not just students, if it is to
succeed.
"Every violator must be
accountable, this can'l become a
political operation in which one
pay gets penalized while another
IS overlooked." he insisted.
As soon as several procedural
matters, such as how fines wiU
be payed or returned if someone
wins an appeal, the court hopes
to resume its operation.

By the end of October the
department began to advertise
through the campus center, on
WVOF and in leaflets that cars
must be registered. and that
stickers were available.
In November nearly 700
notices were distributed on cars,

Security Cracking Down
On Parking Problem

PAGEZ THE UNIVERSITY VOICE DECEMBER 2, 1971
Fire Alarms ----Letters-----
Gridders Success
Visitor Parking
This university attracts a steady stream of new visitors each
day, in addition to the regular students and the 5ta(( members.
Many of these guests are here only a short period while others
visit over a number of days. Should visitors to this university be
required to register their vehicles if their business will not cause
them to remain here for an extended period of time? The Security'
Dept. should not take it upon itself to attempt to register every car
that passes through the gates. It is both impractical and
unnecessary. A central area set aside and clearly marked for
visitor parking would allow the guest more convenience and allow
the Security Police more control.
According to Campus Security Derector James Barrett the aim
of his new program is to control illegal parking and maintain
tighter security on campus. Ultimately the aim appears very
sound. With the large number of thefts no one will argue that
securily must be tightened. However. this is a university which
should be easily accessable to a responsible public. Unnecessary
inconveniences to visitors should be eliminated.
I wonder what is in the mind of a person who reports
a false fire? I wish I could better understand.
When you stop and examine the fire department and
"the unique service that it represents, the explanation
for false alarms can not be rational. Just imagine a
service where terminals .are located throughout the
town so that you would never have to travel more than
a couple hundred feet to summon help. By simply
activating one of these terminals twenty men will
respond to help you in an emergency_ This help will
come twenty-four hOUfS a day, s~ven days a week,
fifty-two weeks a year. The response will provide the
help where you need it within five minutes of your call
for assistance. When you summon help through this
system no one asks if you ace a resident of the town or
how long have you lived here. No one asks if your
taxes are paid or how much money you earn. There is
no question of what party you are registered with
what church you belong to or what your race is. No
one even asks how much you earn, what credit
references you have or even where to send the bill.
What is the cost of a false alarm? Not in terms of
dollars spent on gasoline and tires, not in terms of
frustrations of firemen, not in terms of disturbed
residents of a building, or in terms of disturbed
motorists or disturbed occupants along the route from
the fire house to the campus. What is the cost in terms
of providing the basic help when this help is needed?
In the past when an alarm was received from the
campus eighty percent of the men and equipment
available to provide help would respond. They would
be sent rushing to the campus to provide the help that
we asked for. During this period of time the thirty·two
square miles that comprise the town of Fairfield
would be left with inadequate assistance should an
emergency occur.
As a result of the numbers of false calls for help (19
thus far this year) a more dramatic and immediate
cost can be seen. Under normal operating procedures
five pieces of fire fighting equipment would respond
to a caU for help from the campus. Since last year the
response (rom our calls for help has been greatly
reduced. Now in place of five pieces of fire fighting
equipment we receive only one, an eighty percent
reduction in response. Even more dangerous is an
attitude which has developed where-both residents of
the buildings and the firemen expect a false alarm
when they hear our caU for help.
1wonder what is in the mind of a person who reports
a false fire?
I wish I could better understand.
William P. Schimpf
Dear Editor:
At the November 8th meeting
of the University Council, a
motion was passed unanimously
censuring the malicious use of
the fire alarm systems by
persons unknown.
The University Council feels
this to be a most serious
violation of the rights of the
University community and, in
effect, not only endangers the
lives of the University
community but also the lives of
the firemen and other members
of the Town of Fairfield.
The Council requests all
members of the community to
support the University Council in
this motion.
Sincerely,
John M. Hickson

Also, a number of other
violatiol)s will bring forth a
ticket instead of removal. For
instance, if a studenl has a
sticker which designales Regis
as his parking lot, then he will be
ticketed each time he is caught
parking in the campus center lot.
At present, 850 undergraduate
students have their cars
registered which includes only
commuting students and those

2. I do not intend to answer all
of the smears in Mr. Walters
article. However, I would not
want many of them to go without
answer. Ttlat is why I'm
challenging Mr. Walter to a
public debate p~eferably on
WVOF in order to clear up some
of his smears and "multiple
untruths." Also I would like to
add that I am not resting my
condemnation of the UN on the
Katanga massacre alone. The
limitations of my column
prevent their inclusion-after all I
do not get a full page for my
column. However, Mr. Walters
may rest assured that I will be
able to enumerate many other
instances of UN perfidy.
3. Dr. Dew actually thinks the
Katanga massacre was justified.
He stated that "one must often
make hard choices in an
atmosphere of relative
darkness." Actually both critics
admitted the truth of the
Katanga atrocities. So I rest my
case. It's a sad day when a
student and a faculty member of
an illuminated University try to
defend or shrug off one C!f the
greatest atrocities of this past
decade.
Finally, I realize that my
column will continue to be quite
controversial. But I feel that it's
imperative that the
conservative viewpoint be heard
at Fairfield. In the future I hope
my critics will refrain from
taking a whole page of the paper­there
just isn't enough paper to
go around. After all I'm limited
to a 600 word column. I hope my
critics will realize the
limitations of the Voice to
continually print such massive
replies to my mere 600 word
column. I repeat once again that
anyoae who wiBbea 10 dispute-my
columns or my opinions 10
debate me openly before the
entire University. In this way we
may arrive at a better
understanding of each other.

I must say that I am quite
impressed at the reaction to my
column on Fairfield and the U.N.
in the November 11 issue of the

my critics by taking one whole
page of the paper. However, I

points.
I. The "mistake" which Dr.

printer, not mine. The printer
mistakenly changed 3 votes to
three vetos in the General
To the Editor:
In his "Fairfield and the
Jesuits - A View" in your
November 11 issue Professor
Walter Petry sounds as if he is
marshalling and twisting his
facts and ideologies to win a
lawsuit. More disturbing though,
is his quite obvious lack of
comprehension of what
"Catholic commilment" means.
His preoccupation with religion
as merely a part of the
humanities curriculum and his
glee at the size and diversity of
the philosophy department is
typical of the shallow,
'materialistic viewpoint of one
who is completely oblivious to
the presence of God and the
purpose of life itself.
I suggest an alternative
definition of the Catholic
commitment at Fairfield:
namely, to produce young men
and women who will go forward
subscribing fully to the
commitment set forth in the
words of the founder of the
Jesuit Order, St. Ignatius Loyola
in "The Principle and
Foundation":
"Man was created to praise ­reverence
and serve God - and
by this means to save his soul.
The other things on the face of
the Earth were created for
Man's sake - and in order to aid
him in the prosecution of the end
for which he was created.
Consequently. Man ought to
make use of them just so far as
they help him to attain his End-­he
ought to wilhdraw himself
from them just so far as they
hinder him. Therefore we should
make ourselves indifferent to all
created things - in all that is left '
to the liberty of our free will and
is not Jorbidden -- so that we do
DOt wish for HealClt ra&ber than
Sickness - for Wealth rather
than Poverty - for Honor rather
than Dishonor - for a long Life
rather than a short one - and so
in all other things - desiring and
choosing only that which'leads us
more directly to the end for
which we were created.
St. Ignatius Loyola
I suggest this is the Catholic
commitment defecting
Jesuits, Pedro Arrupe, S.J., John
Courtney Murray, S.J., yea even
Teillard de Cbardin, S.J., - all to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Yes, Walter, there is a Santa
Claus: the purpose of life itself­the
Catholic commitment ­remains
and will remain the
same.
It really doesn't matter if the
football team wins another game
here at Fairfield. As long as they
can continue to survive
financially and as long as people
want to participate and make the
club the first rate organization
that it is, no season can ever be
termed a disaster. Every victory
will just be an additional reward
for doing something for fun and
doing it well.

were involved than ever before.
All involved worked hard and
long hours so a group of men
dedicated to the game of football
could have fun playing the game
they love. Finally the players
themselves were tested
throughout the season. Many
times they could bave quit yet
week after week they always
seemed to come back and try
harder.
In the world of sports, success
is orten equated with winning.
Unless a team wins better than
50 percent of its games the
season is considered a failure by
many so-called "loyal"
supporters. A perfect example of
this attitude can be seen in the
University-s Club Football
Team. Disaster would sum up
the season as far as won-lost
records are concerned. In'fact,
some students would even go so
far as to label the team a joke.
Yet a closer look behind the
scenes reveals that from a total
viewpoint, the season was
anything but a disaster and a
joke.
Financial reports from various
members of the club show that
financially the team bad no
trouble scoring. Organizational
aspects were never stronger.

Terry Bottinelli proposed that
the original bill be sent back to

recommendation that the
appropriation be increased. The
measure passed easily. and the
VIC remained without funds.
Teacher evaluation was a
further topic for discussion as
Dennis Gallagher, a member of
last year's evaluation
committee, sponsored t....-o bills:
the first directing the executive
branch of the Government to
transfer last year's numerical
data to all professors and their
departmental chairmen, the
second designed to renew the
evaluation program during the
upcoming semester.
Both measures eventually
passed although there was some
concern regarding the status of
the evaluation committee. In
particular, Stephen Mednick felt
that the evaluation program
should be given greater
permanence through the
creation of a standing committee
of the Legislative Committee.
Only Mr. Gallagher's motion,
however. which specifies the
1971·72 academic year, was
approved.

establishment of a Student Rank
and Tenure Committee. which
would offer suggestions to the

discussed. Both proposals were
relegated to committee. though.

students. He reminded the
assembled legislators that most
graduate students are on campus
only one or two times a week,
and that efforts in behalf of
ratification of the tripartite
constitution would have to be
geared to this schedule.
Furthermore, he mentioned that
most of the evening students
have not even seen a copy of the
document, but that he would do
his best to acquaint them with its
contents.
Speaking about the specific
problems of the grad student Mr.
Ola cited a lack of adequate
facilities in the library, the
almost total absence of vending
machines on campus. and the
failure of the university to issue
graduate identification cards as
particular areas of annoyance.
"We feel that graduate students
are putting much money into the
university," be said. "and not

Gallagher questioned Mr.
McGrath's qualifications and
expressed the desire to have the
appointee appear before the
legislature at a later date.
Representative Bill Merritt, who
eventually proposed the motion
to refer, expressed concern
about the possibility of Mr.
McGrath's non-payment of the
Activities Fee. Despite
protestations from members of
the Government Operations
Committee, which had approved
the appointment of Mr.
McGrath, the motion to refer
passed substantially.
Resolutions originating within
the Appropriations Committee
included the allotment of monies
to WVOF, the Rugby Club, and
the Youth Inter-racial Council.
In accordance with
recommendations from the
Appropriatlons Committee sums
of $3900 and $1900 were allotted
to WVOF and the Rugby Club.
According to an earlier draft of
the radio station bill $2000 of the
total appropriation were to be
earmarked for the purchase of
FM equipmenL When VOF
oUicials asserted that
conversion to FM would be
impossible this year, the bill was
amended in committee to
stipulate a simple appropriation.
The approval of funds to the
YIC proved to be a much more
complicated issue.
Appropriations Committee
members assuming 100%
collection of the Activities Fee
had speciCied that $1500 should
be ascribed to the Council. But
Ken Daly. who serves as both a
legislator and Chairman of the
VIC. objected maintaining that
such a sum or percentage
thereof would not adequately
finance the YICs many s6cial
undertakings.
Sentiment within the
legislature seemed to be ODe of
sympathy for the fiscal plight of
the Council, but there was a lack
of general agreement as to how
the appropriation should be
raised. Successive motions to
form a committee of the whole,
in which the legislature acting as
a committee could amend the
financial bill, and to recommend
that "dormant" monies within
the executive budget be given to
YIC were ~feated. Finally.

Throughout the season the play

season as they won two of their
last three matches and finished
up with a respectable record of
3-4.

In the "Super Bowl" of
intramural football, Northwest 4
downed the Studs, 14-0. The
American Conference champs,
supported by quarterback Steve
Lennox's two touchdown passes
of forty yards to Ed Gillolly and
five yards to Mike Yates along
with two point after touchdown
kicks by Mike Wood, emerged
once again as victors.
lluer«pliolls Decisive
The Studs tried to bounce back
on several occasions only to
commit costly turnovers.
Gillooly led Northwest 4's
formidable defense by making
three outstanding interceptions,
one of which was picked off in
the end zone thwarting a strong
Stud offensive march.
Semi-finalists Regis 4 and
Campion 3 battled evenly
throughout regulation time, plus
one hour and fifteen minutes of
sudden death, to a 0-0 tie in the
consolation game. Northwest 4
earned 1000 points, the Studs 500
points and both Regis 4 and
Campion 3, :!SO points toward the
overall intramural cham­pionship.
Co-ed COlllelt
In a zany wrapup of this year's
intramural football season, the
Southeast girls demonstrated
their prowess by capturing a 3&-
McEndy, Morace, )ohn Kinney,
Bill Beyer, Nick Peters, Jim
McKettrick, Kevin Manley, and'
Jim McCarthy, participated in
all nine of the A matches - a
remarkable achievement.
With the exception of Morace
all of the Aforwards are juniors.
In 1968-69 the A team had the
Cinest record in Fairfield rugby
history, as they were 7-2 in the
fall and 5+1 in the spring. This
year's A team, with only three
seniors on the squad, appear to
have the ability to surpass both
these records.
B's FiIllsh Fasl
The B team was hurt by
inexperience and started off
slOWly, as they were only 1-3
half-way through the season.
However the B's then put
things together and won their
next four matches, including a
20-11 victory over Manhattan,
and finished with a 5-3 record,

The Fairfield Ruggers closed
out their fall season with mixed
results, as the A team battled. the
Manhattan Rugby Club to a G-O
stand-off. while the B's were
victorious and the C's lost.
This b!:ought the A's record to
6-2-1, and extended their
unbeaten streak to seven.
Stormg Stals
During the season the A
Ruggers scored 126 points, while
yielding 65. The Big Red scored
20 four point tries (the
equivalent of a touchdown) with
center Pete Ferrara getting six,
fly-half Chris Galvin four, and
the remainder being spread out
among eight other players.
The Ruggers also scored on 14
two point conversions and 6
three point penalty kicks.
Sophomore Charlie Morace led
the team in points with 40,
mostly on the strength of his
kicking, while Ferrara had 32.
At the start of the season the
Ruggers felt they had a proven
backfield. but the scrum, whose
job is to gain possession of the
ball. was a question mark.
However under the leadership
of vice-captain Tim McEndy the
scrum forwards showed from
the start that they would be a
powerful unit, able to put
relentless pressure on the
opposition.

Basketball season ticket sales
to students continue to drag as
the season is already underway.
As of Monday, ticket manager
Richard Percurlani confirmed
that only II students had
purchased the season ducats.
The reluctance on the part of
students to buy the season ticket
is apparently due to the price of
seats (18.50 and 24.00) and the
location of the cheapest seats
(end zone).
In comparison to seven other
schools on the basketball
schedule, Fairfield students pay
considerably more for their
season tickets. The other schools
considered are UConn., Boston
College. Boston University. Holy
Cross. Fordham and Providence
C6llege.
At only two of these schools i!
there an athletic fee or activities
fee which helps to alleviate the
cost of tickets to athletic events.

The Stag basketball team will
face its first major test of the
young season Saturday night in a
road game against the highly
regarded Fordham Rams. Game
lime is at 8:00 at the Rose Hill
Gymnasium in the Bronx. A
freshmen game precedes the
varsity contest.
Hopeful of initiating a run and
shoot brand of ball this year, the
Slags will be taking on a club
which vaulted to national
ranking last year by utilizing the
5.1.me type of strategy.
Surprise of East
The Rams came out of
nowhere last year to post a 26-3
record, including an NCAA post
season tournament berth. The
Rams have lost their lOp two
point getters in All-American
Charlie Yelverton and Bill
Mainor through graduation but
with certain key returnees and a
couple of transfers they're
looking for another banner year.
Fairfield, 9-15 last year,
dropped a 75-59 decision to the
Rams in the season finale last
year.
Trailing by only 29-27 and then
leading by two with sixteen
minutes left in the game, the
Stags were destroyed by the
Rams' tenacious full court press
in the late second half.
The Fordham win gave the
Rams a 4·3 edge in the series
between the two schools.
Stag Five
Likely slarters for Coach Fred
Barakat·s club on Saturday are
CQ-captains George Groom and
Bob Kelly at guards. senior Tim
Barnes and junior Sieve Romano
at forwards and junior Tom
Duffy at center.
All but Barnes are returning
veteran starters. The 6'4"
Barnes has been a major
surprise for the Stags in pre·
season. Impressive as a
sophomore, Barnes saw only
limited action last year but his
superb play thus far has earned
him a starting spot.
First year Fordham coach,
Hal Wissel. was left with seven
returning lettermen after Digger
Phelps, last year'S rookie
coaching sensation, left for
Notre Dame. Fordham lost its
prize freshman recruit. Peter
