challenge to corporate powers.
A native of Chicago, Alinsky is
a graduate of the University of
Chicago, and in 1930 received his
Ph.D. from that university.
FollOWing a graduate
fellowship in criminology at the
same university, Alinsky
became a criminologist with the
Illinois state prison system in in
1933. He Is also noted for joining
John L. Lewis in organizing the
Cia, starting the American
Newspaper Guild, and for his
involvement in raising money
. for Southern Share-croppers.
Panels Suggested
He suggested a series of panels
made up of knowledgable
spokesmen to which "interested
people" could come.
Fr. Mcinnes sees the main
issue as "getting lhe
institution's work done."
Paul I. Davis. facuhy delegate
to the convention. feels that
discussion of the document at a
general faculty meeting would
"help free the facuhy to hash out
their differences."
The only scheduled faculty
meeting of this semester is on
October 19.
Mr. Davis also stated that
university - wide forums would
help to educate those new to the
concept of shared power in the
university. namely new faculty
and administrators and the
freshman class.
Dormer saw the
Communications Department of
the Student Government as a
useful means to inform students
about the innovative governance
plan.

a program held two years ago.

but not get too directly involved.
On the other hand. Mr. Davis
and Paul Greeley. alumni

representative on the
Constituitional Convention.
staled that the Universily
Council should discuss. review
and suggest methods for the
discussion and vote.
It is up to each sector to decide
its own voting procedure. All
that the document stipulates is
that provided 50%. of each
segment votes. a 50% plus one
tally will ratify the plan.
Individual polling places for
each group \a faculty meeting. a
student referendum and an
administrative balloO are
favored by Dormer.
He said. "I think each sector
should do this on their own. as
three bodies, then come together
to make it work."

Bellarmine Series Opens
A Correction
Saul Alinsky To Speak
In the september 16 issue of
the Voice. the university's
current operating deficit was
listed at 573.000. It should
have been 5730,000.
Social actiVISt Saul Alinsky
will open this year's Bellarmine
Lecture Series, speaking on the
lopic "Is There a 'Freeze' on the
Revolution. Too?", next
Thursday. Seplember 30, al 8
p.m. in the Campus Center Oak
Room.
Director of the Chicago based
Industrial Area Foundation.
Alinsky is presently engaged in
training while middle class
organizers for work in their own
communities.
The Foundation, is supported
by Gordon Sherman. head of
Midas Muffler Co. and the Ford
Foundation. as well as by
proceeds of Alinsky's lecture
engagements.
Although, traditionally.
Bellarmine series events have
been open to the public without
charge, a nominal admission
charge will be made to defray a
fee charged by Mr. Alinsky for
all his lectures, to help support
the foundation. University
students may attend at no cost.
In 1969, Alinsky entered
Rochester. N.Y. and helped that
city to organize FIGHT
(Freedom. Integration, God.
Honor-Today) with Eastern
Kodak, as its main target.
Through FIGHT, he lested a new
document. Dr. Barone was
concerned about the "double
jeapardy" aspect of
responsibility to both civil law
and university regulations.
Distribution Task
According to Dr. Barone, the
editing commiltee of the
constilutional convention will
oversee the massive printing and
distribution tasks. Their goal is
to provide enough copies to each
sector so that every member will
have one.
Before any vote can be taken,
however. much discussion of the
issues involved will inevitably
lake place. The center of mosl
altention in this area is the
faculty, .....hich has shown
noticeable dislike for the concept
of tri-partism in rejecting the
implementation of previous
measures.
"The Problem is the faculty."
stated Student Government
President Stephen Dormer. who
feels lhal members of the
faculty became "too
entrenched" in their opinions
before legitimale questions
could be raised.
Concerning the faculty. the
Rev. William C. Mcinnes.
university president, said.
"Right now the faculty is not
ready to vote until they
understand the issues."
Discussion Looms
A variety of methods for the
open discussion of the subject
are possible. Fr. Mcinnes said.
"I think the newspapers should
be used to present and comment
upon the issues to highlight the
controversial aspects."
O'Connor stressed to the faculty
that it was necessary to choose
between the proposals but more
a matter of faculty disposition
towards them

By Larry Halloran
Aller two years, a document
that contains the structure for
shared responsibility by all
segments in the decision making
of the university is finished.
Fairfield's tri-partite
constitution must now pass the
inspection of those same
segments of the community and
finally the Board of Trustees.
But in the minds of many who
worked on that document. the
future of the constitution ranges
from clouded to cautiously
optimistic. Just how the
necessary discussion and voling
will take place is still a mystery.
Since its completion last May,
the tri'partite plan has been
under the scrutiny of Howard
Owens Sr., attorney. Dr. John
Barone, university provost,
asked him to look for legal
difficulties within the new
governance scheme.
Mr. Owens stated that he
found no legal problems in the
2/3'S of the allotted time for the
first faculty meeting. The
remaining time was evenly split
belween the President's
remarks and lhose of Rev.
James H. Coughlin, the vice
president in charge of academic
affairs.
The Jesuit and lay faculty have
to forego the 10 percent wage
hike agreed upon last spring thus
fostering the concern.
Leo O'Connor. English
professor and co-chairman of the
ad-hoc commiUee to study the
effecls of the wage price freeze
on the (acully, submilled
recommendations for faculty
consideration.
The committee consisted of
the Rev. Joseph Devine. S.J .. Dr.
Julia Johnston. Mr. Anderson,
Harry Fishman, and Mr.
O·Connor. The committee
submitted three major
suggestions to the faculty.
The first suggestion was that
faculty payments be reduced
from 24 10 20. This suggestion
met with general (acully
approval.
Secondly establishing a faculty
credit union was presented
whereby the money which was
agreed upon would be out in a
fund from which they could
draw. This money if withdrawn
would not be subject to inlerest.
Another submilled was lhe
faculty would be able 10 borrow
money (rom the university
proper rather than from a credit
union. This money would be an
emergency loan fund.
Arthur Anderson of the
sociology department pointed
out a legality called the "Golden
Sheep Clause" which would
allow for retroactivity on the
wages.
The clause states that if part o(
a staff had been paid on a new
wage scale than the whole body
was eligible for the new hike.
Mr. Anderson said, "We have
quile a few Golden Sheep on our

they did this past year.
"I'd say the grades were all

said.
Fr, Coughlin pointed out what
he considered an apparent
contradiction in the faculty's
decisions: "Mo~t of the racully.

their typical mark, but they
won't admit that the average
student in their classes is doing
honors .....ork which is what a B is
supposed to represent."
GRE Records Poor
To support his case at the
faculty meeting. the dean noted
that the results from the most
recent batch of Graduate Record
exams indicate that our students
did poorer than their marks
sho..... they should have done.
He further urged all faculty
members to re-examine the
values attached to each mark in
the A-E system.

Quoting the exact statistics. the
dean said that C should be the
typical mark but. according to

not. 53 per cent got B or better:
93 per cent got C or beller; thus
only 7 per cent received 0 or

"'Despite the fact that the

privileges for social functions to

major says. "I joined the John

strong force against
Communism which threatens the
Christian moral society of our
country." He believes that
college students are easy prey to
the arguments for a morc liberal
society.
The speech Nicholas delivers
at the meetings is based on two
premises. One is that the
Constitution of the United States
is irrelevant; the other is that
the United States government is
anti-COmmunist. The speech
attempts to prove both of these
premises false.

Revised Budget Passes
A general budget was

given to the media, which is
unfair.

immediate rejection of
Donner's proposal in favor of a

new budget could include the
establishment of a post on the

the university's capital
campaign drive. They fell short
of their proposed goal by
$116,000.
Catandella pointed to three
possible reasons for the apparent
breakdown in financial support:
mechanics of the campaign
itself; the state of the economy;
and campus disorders.
The capital campaign asked
alumni to make three year
pledges instead of the usual one
year committment. This factor,
Catandella believes, caused
many individuals to pledge more
money than lhey were actually
prepared to pay when the
payments were due.
To further complicate these
matters, the country's economy
has taken a severe nose dive
over the period covered by the
capital campaign.
Last, and probably not least
according to the new president,
many alumni were somewhat
alienated by the disorders and
many radical social changes
which made life at Fairfield
somewhat different than when
they were here.
Only in the last three or four
years have jackets and ties been
abolished: parietal hours
instituted; drinking allowed on
campus: student strikes
occurred.
Few Active Alumni
Catandella also notes that.
percentage wise. very few
alumni have been active in A.A.
sponsored activities except for
the last two outings, Alumni Day
and electkms for this year's
officers.
The first student government
meeting of the year resulted in
ratification of a Resident Hall
Association and the approval of a
general budget. which includes a
new executive board for
handling media contracts.
Separate Elections for RHA
The constitution of the RHA,
presented by Robert Sheridan.
stipulates that a member of the
student legislature must run on a·
separate election to the dorm
council. Under the old system or
dorm council. members
functioned in both capacities.
Sheridan stated that this
association will consist of two
elected dorm representatives
per corridor and the residents

In a question raised by Joe

Improved public relations are
one of major goals of the Alumni

In an interview last week, the
new official outlined the major
problems of the 7.000 member

he thinks the associatkm should
strive toward this year.
The association, which
includes 4,500 graduates from
the College of Arts and Sciences
as well as another 2.500 degree
recipients from the university'S
two graduate schools, has been
hampered during recent years
by its slumping financial support
and poorly attended programs.
Auditions for an oU-campus
production, BoUom's Up, will be
held next Tuesday evening at 8
o'clock in Xavier Hall.
Playground Alternatives. a
local theatre group producing
the play. is actively seeking
Fairfield students to take part as
actors, technicians and
production staIf.
Bottom's Up is a children's
play adapted from William
Shakespeare's A Mid Summer
Nigbt's Dream.. The auditions

Fairfield University' English
department.
This will be the first
production for Playground
Alternatives, first organized in
Xavier Hall at the University

Fairfield's Greenfield Hill

The play is tentatively
scheduled for shortly after
Thanksgiving, according to the
group's administrators, Gitta
Honegger, Neil Patterson, and a
Fairfield grad, Schuyler Bishop

They are planning to put on the

probably require special
orientation and counseling !n
order to return to academic life.
They will also require special
recruitIng. It is my hope that our
Admissions Office can find ways
to assist this potential group of
college students.
At th~ other end of the
educational system placement of
students in jobs has grown
increasingly difficult. not only
due to economic conditions but
also to career uncertainty. We
are. therefore, asking the
Placement Officer under its new
Director Fr. O'Neil. to eden<!
his efforts at career counseling
and to coordinate these efforts
with other service units in the
University. This will require
faculty held and referral in order
to be really suceessful.
Perhaps the greatest
unexplored - and touchy - area
of faculty concern is the matter
of faculty productivity. In the
1960's this University grew
mainly. by expansion - of plant.
student body, tution raises. etc.
In the 1970's, when income
reaises have reached a definite
plateau, growth in faculty
salaries the largest component
of our budget (50% of the total
-educational expense) will have
to come more and more from
increased productivity rather
than from increased income
sources.
Rapid growth of our school in
favorable economic
circumstances has tended to
cloud over the issue of
productivity and even to produce
some inequities between
individual faculty members in
terms of load and assignment.
Rexford Moon. of the Academy
for Educational Development.
has written recently that "we
must start with faculty
productivity and consider it the
area of highest priority in
achieving optimal use of
resources in the decade ahead."
(College Board Review. Summer
1971. p. ~). The time has come.
therefore, to look seriously at
increasing faculty productivity.
This is not an easy task. It has
political and economic. as well
as academic. overtones. But it
must be faced up to. Next year
our income - hopefully - from
enrollment expansion will rise
only about $300.000 - and that
will be the last year for
enrollment increase. Taking into
account other rising costs and
some inflation. this will threaten
seriously the base for faculty
salary increments in the future.
In my opinion, we must now
consider some form of merit
increments in addition to
longevity raises. But if either
longevity or merit increments
are to be real. we should start
focussing immediately on ways
to measure and increase faculty
productivity.
In summary. may I urge the
faculty to accept their
responsibility for preserving the
basic commitments of the
University while joining in the
continued efforts to adapt. May 1
ask especially that all recognize
the inherent ambiguity of action
that arises when many strong
and opposing interests are
seeking reconciliation.
Tolerance of different modes of
behavior need not, however.
imply carelessness of thought, so
that hopefully the truth may be
the real governing force of the
University.
Perhaps we are not quite ready
to imitate the Yale faculty who.
in the opinion of one of its
members from the political
science department. "think the
right to be heard during a
deliberation to be more
important than the right to vote
at the conclusion of the
deliberation. Voting in faculty
meetings. departmental
meetings and committees is
usually unanimous or. in smaller
deliberations, is displaced in
favor of sense of the meeting.
But with both voice and vote
we can seek to realize both the
commitments of this institution
and the best means of change.
fields of specialization. The
growth of communications
systems and the development of
communications technology are
indications that we are just on
the threshold of communications
development in our graduate
school of communications. The
expansion of health care and
delivery systems suggests that
our school of nursing must be
more than a conventional
service program. And it should
definitely be co-ed. The chronic
problems of urban life still go
largely unanswered from our
intellectual institutions. We are
long overdue in addressing
ourselves to this problem.
although a faculty committee
has been formed to explore it
UJis past summer. The broad
field of continuing education
would open new educational
possibilities for many of our
neighbors and provide a wider
base for the utilization of our
academic and physical
resources.
.Those areas of graduate
education, communications.
health care. urban studies. and
continuing education are. I
suggest. proper subjects for
immediate and serious faculty
investigation and
recommendation.
secondly, faculty methods of
instruction should be explored in
the light of our commitments
and the need to adapt.
With the trend towards
declining student contact hours
and a shorter academic year (134
days this year vs. 145 days in
1969), the utilization of our
human talent and physical plant
become problems for us. At the
present time only the Graduate
SChool of Communications
operates on a year-round basis.
Plans are being formulated to
lengthen the summer school
session. A continuing education
program would also raise the
utilization of our resources.
We are remodelling our
gymnasium to handle larger
crowds and redesigning our
residence balls for smaller living
groups. What about the design of
our classrooms? Should not some
of them be planned in order to
meet changing objectives in
instruction? We have increasing
equipment available for audio
visual instructional assistance
but have only begun to explore
the possibilities of technology in
our computer assisted
instruction program and in
television. The undergraduate
education department is working
on a major innovation in
insiruction utilizing television
technology and they hope to
report soon to the faculty on
their latest project.
New areas of concentration
and methods of instruction are
all geared to new student
populations. Our efforts to
attract minority groups to the
University must continue
unabated. Our work in the past
has shown that it is not
necessary to have an "open
admissions" policy in order to
provide more equal opportunity
for all. But we will have to
continue to exercise our
imaginations and wills in order
to maintain our academic
standards while at the same time
making educational programs
more widely available. There is
evidence of increasing
government financial assistance
for programs for the
disadvantaged, but no amount of
funds can substitute for
professional leadership in this
area. The coordination of our
efforts with the community
colleges. already started. will be
of great help in recruiting
disadvantaged students and
broadening our student base. The
community college should also
provide a new source of transfer
students for our upper division.
Another group of students to
whom we should direct more
interest is the returning veteran.
In Connecticut alone it is
~stimated that there are 75.000
Vietnam veterans in the state.
Those seeking education will
of the defenders. It is more
disturbing for a university to
have no one to respond to a
controversial speaker on campus
than to debate whether such a
speaker should be allowed to
appear. It is more distressing to
have no insistence on a fair and
proper forum for dialogue than it
is to be concerned about our
image abroad.
In matters. therefore. of our
social and religious commitment
there is a burden of citizenship
which all must bear: to reflect
seriously on the issues, to
dialogue openly; to insist on the
conditions of free and fair
participation of all in order that
our commitments can be
understood and that they be the
foundation of anticipated
change. Every new member of
our community has accepted the
commitment of the University;
each one also brings to this
community an insight and will to
advance that commitment
through meaningful change.
Two specific issues here are
campus governance and student
life styles. Much work, thought
and dialogue have gone into the
preliminary proposal of a
Constitutional Convention. While
all sectors of the University have
worked on the document, no
sector has yet approved it.
Ultimately it will require
approval by the Trustees. Now it
is time for serious consideration
by all the faculty of the merits
and/or shortcomings of the
proposed revision of university
governance. Hopefully the
dialogue will center on the issue
of the structure that best relates
to the objectives of the
institution and not via! versa.
Further, any scheme of
governance should satisfy the
legitimate aspirations of
participation in· decision making
while respecting the necessity of
getting the work done without
excessive llureaucracy or
wrangling.
secondly, student life styles
should be of concern to the
faculty in the light of our
commitment and the need for
adaptation. There is much
ignorance and suspicion as to
just what is happening in
dormitory life and to student
social habits these days. Yet life
styles do relate to the
educational, as well as the
religious and social, objectives
of the University and so should
be of interest to all.
It is especially in the area of
academic commitment and
adaptability however. that the
faculty should take an increasing
role - investigating possible
fields of concentration, adapting
methods of instruction. seeking
new students. and exploring
faculty productivity.
The basic commitment to
academic standards and
performance here at the
University rests in practice with
the faculty. The intellectual
activity of this institution ­outside
as well as inside the
classroom -- are primarily under
the direction of the faculty. The
willingness to face value
questions can be activated only
when the faculty provides the
interest. openness and fairness
to do so. especially when value
questions are of prime
importance to many students.
The 'ability to create innovative
educational programs that are
both relevant and meaningful
must come primarily from the
faculty if the University is to
continue to grow academically in
stature and significance.
A commitment to high
professional and human
standards by each individual is
probably the best source of
reasonable adaptability in the
fUlure as it certainly has been in
the past.
We must explore selective
fields of concentration for the
future. The decline of the birth
rate in recent years and the
surplus supply of teachers in
many fields warns us that in our
graduate school of education we
should begin to concentrate on
the development of selective,
DOtbiag. We mean nothing in the
sense of. oh well. more or less a
kind of positive Nothing. so to
speak ...
Perhaps with the same
cautious rhetoric we may point
to some challenges here at
Fairfield.
One danger facing our
community today is the
tendency to make absolute
positions out of fragmented
schools of thought and then to
polariz.e behaviour into opposite
extremes. The great challenge.
therefore. is to create an
environment which though more
ambiguous and probably less
comfortable. is proportionately
more truthful. At the same time
we must create a setting in
whicb all members of the
community can share more
tolerantly. even though with
more ambiguity. In brief, I
would appeal to the possibilities
of synthesis rather than to the
pitfalls of dialectic. While the
Presiderit of a University has a
major responsibility to preserve
both the basic commitment of
the University and the process of
adapting to changing times, it is
only when a significant majority
of the community share that
common commitment and
willingness to adapt that
philosophy and rhetoric can be
translated into a way of life.
In this process, .necessarily
ambiguous. the faculty should
playa leading role.
Some sincerely believe we are
changing so rapidly we are
losing our basic commitment:
others believe with equal ardor
that we are moving so slowly we
are going to wither from
rigidity. Neither is accurate. The
challenge. therefore. is to
respect both our basic
commitment and to accept the
need to adapt - and to be able to
tolerate the resulting ambiguity.
Understanding of our basic
commitment is the foundation
for intelligent adaptation. If the
process of change is to transcend
pure politics (which in my
opinion wold destroy the
University). it should originate
in a knowledge of an respect for
the specific intellectual.
academic. religious. and social
commitments of this
community.
The objectives of the
University state explicitly that
we are first of all an academic
institution. They also say that we
operate within a context of an
instutional Catholic
commitment and in a setting of a
humanistic and socially
conscious environment. Our
recent Supreme Court victory
(Tilton vs Richardson) has
vindicated our right to maintain
our religioUS commitment by
distinguishing secular and
religious purposes. Our internal
task remains to make
operational the relationship be­tween
those purposes. Too often
the implications of these
commitments are assumed
rather than explored. They are
relegated to the public rhetoric
of the catalogue and the private
indifference of the individual.
When ignored they can lead to
frustration and dead ends by
those most zealous for change
and to cold formalism by those
resisting change. But when
reflected upon. they could
provide both the energy and
direction of meaningful change.
If the purpose of change is not
to destroy one's identity but to
enhance it. all of us must reflect
upon, dialogue about. and
experiment with our basic social
and religious environment.
Participation as citizens in our
campus community. and in the
community beyond. in my
opinion. is not a matter of opt\(ln
but of obligation. In an age when
yesterday's taken-for-granted
assumptions are today's
questions. campus citizenship
should be more than "a game
that any number can play but
only certain people can do." It is
often not so much the vehemence
of the attackers of the system
that is to blame for polarization
but rather the silent inadequacy
Rev. William MdlUles, S.J.
As we begin a new academic
year. 1 would like to present to
you some present trends and
future challenges.
Statistically, our school is in a
healthy position; sociologicallY.
we live in an increasingly
anxious environment.
Preliminary registration figures
show that our undergraduate
enrollment. unlike most other
private colleges. has grown this
year by 10% to 2.320 students.
Our nursing school has expanded
to 55 students. Our summer
school enrollment levelled off
this past summer but did
relatively better than
comparable sessions elsewhere.
althOUgh the low enrollment
level in the undergraduate
program is a concern for us. Our
graduate school of education has
maintained its enrollment in
spite of a growing over-supply of
teachers. Our graduate school of
communications has increased
its enrollment slightly.
Our faculty has continued to
grow to a present number of 240
full and part time teachers. This
represents a 19% increase over
last year's faculty of 201. Of
these 45 are Religious and 195
laymen and women. Four faculty
members are on leave this year
and seven will be on sabbatical.
Financially. the University
expects to have a balanced
bUdget this year - as it did last.
While the pressures for
expenditures have increased in
recent years, the control of
expense has been greater so that
we have not ended up with a
deficit. Economically we have
no spare resources and the
budget is tight. but we have not
had to curtail or freeze any of
our essential operations.
Unfortunately - and with
inequity to some - the national
freeze on salaries and prices by
the President of the United
States has worked hardship on
many people. In my statement
released last week. I have tried
to explain the policy of the
University. pointing' out
especial1y that while we intend
to observe the imposed
government regulations we hope
··to honor all contracts as they
were originally made" and "will
make the contract funds
available retroactively when the
freeze is lifted," ,if it is legally
possible to do so. Meanwhile. we
will not allocate the monies
involved for any other purposes.
We have kept in touch with the
American Council on Education,
our professional association in
Washington. We have discussed
possibilities with our own
Faculty salary Committee. We
will continue to explore actively
any means within the law by
which we can honor the original
contracts and we invite any
proposals or communications
from individual faculty
members concerning the
problem.
In regard to promotions. we
will pay salaries for promotion
in rank but with the increment
related to last year's rate. We
are currently investigating
possibilities for payment beyond
this minimum.
Finally. we are prepared to try
to alleviate any individual
hardship cases by creating an
emergency loan fund which will
provide short-term loans for
those caught in the squeeze.
What challenges for the future
are suggested by these trends of
the present?

Meeting Room at 1:30 p.m.
The commiltee, co-chaired by
Irene Stanislawczyk of Central
Connecticut Slate College and
Don Thornhill, Foreign
Language Consultant for the
Westport Public Schools, is
presently working on a series of
reports regarding language
teaching problems and their
solutions.
Members of the committee are
individual teachers selected
from key high schools and
colleges in Connecticut and meet
on a regular basis to discuss
various topics regarding
language teaching.
COLT, a statewide
organization was founded four
years ago for the purpose of
establishing co-operation
between high school and college
sequential language courses.
"But it's the principle of the
thing. Students two or three
years ago didn't know what
Trustees were either. But they
hated us anyway, and we hated
them. I even remember when we
kept score to see who was the
most abused Trustee among us,"
"How did you do it?"
"You scored one point ror
every egg a student threw at
your car. two points ror every
piece of hate mail received,
three points for a piece of pie
from the cafeteria in the face,
four points if you were
denounced in the Free Press and
Review, and whopping five
points for each time you were
called a fascist pig. Beroreevery
meeting the points were totaled
up and the winner got to expel
the student of his choice."
"What were your feelings
when the students elected their
own 'trustees' last year?"
"Well, it's a funny thing. All
my life 1 wanted to be a bouncer
in a nightclub or a sergeant-at­arms
or something like that.
Instead 1 got stuck with this
Trustee job. So when the student
'trustees' threatened to crash
our spring meeting, I thought,
'Here's my big chance." I was
put in charge of barricading the
door, If the students tried to
break in, it was my
responsibility to fight them off. I
even had my cane lined with lead
to use as a weapon. But the
students lost their courage and
never showed up."
"You must have scared them
off. "
"Don't be rW:liculous. Two
years ago when they had that

was delegated to negotiate with
the students. When I walked in

kicked me to the ground, and
dragged me back out the door.

Student Rights Listed
Lancaster, Pa, - (J.P.) - The
Committee on Student Rules at
Franklin and Marshall College
has prepared a report on the
subject of student rights and
freedoms.
The report is divided into six
areas: 1.) freedom of access to
higher education; 2.) classroom;
3.) student records; 4.) student
affairs; 5.) off-campus freedoms
of studenls; 6,) procedural
standards and disciplinary
proceedings.
New features in the report
cover detailed statements for
prorection against improper
academic evaluations and an
explanation of exactly what is
filed on student records.
Regarding improper academic
evaluations the rules drawn up
are quite explicit. If no
satisfaction is gained from
meetings with the professor
privately, the student can then
confer with the Dean of
Students' Office.
It seems that no one cares
about the Trustees anymore.
Last Friday the Board held its
first meeting of the school year,
but unlike previous gatherings
the event drew Iiule public
auention.
After the routine meeting one
of the Trustees walked through
the Campus Center lobby
unnoticed and reminisced about
the "good old days."
"How does it feel (0 be back

toward the Snack Bar.
"Lousy. I've never felt more

year ago if I went up to a student
and said, "Hi, I'm a Trustee," he
would spit in my face. At least
then I felt important. In lhose

introduce yourself to a student,
he only gives you a queer look

Aqualung's tale is that of a

Aqualung is to scold, in a sense,

Dickens,like characters, and
"Wund 'ring Aloud", a simple
love ballad. Each song relies
sparcelyon amplified sound.
"My God" the second and
stronger side of the album is
basically an anti-church
statement by the composer.
Anderson tells of the
mistreatment God receives at
the hands of organized religion.
The remaining songs merely
express the same feelings, each
in its own way leading up to the
final and best song on the album.
"Wind-up" is a personal
message which expresses the
sentiment that God is "not the
kind you have to wind up on
Sunday," Anderson uses his
voice in a dramatic way which
helps relay more clearly his
feelings about the songs he
writes.

baroque influence, It was a
pleasant surprise lO hear the
sweet tones of "Bouree", and to
find on the same album a well
defined rock piece "Nothing Is
Easy". Discovering that the
lyrics. which are not only audible
but sensible and beautiful, are
directly complementing the
music is happily stunning in a
time when music and lyrics often
fight each other.
After delighting to Stand Up, it
is hard to believe that you'll be
anything Itot let down by the
group's next record. But quite
unbelievably Jethro Tull's
Benefit is as good if not better
than the previous. The Haunting
voice of Ian Anderson is still
wailing away, the very talented
guitarist Martin Barre still picks
in amplified splendor, Glen
Cornick is lending an impressive
beat on his bass. while Clive
Bunker masters his drums,
improvising while maintaining a
framework for the songs, John
Evans the newly added keyboard
artist holds his own as the
stranger in the group.
When it was time for the
appearance of Jethro Tull's
fourth album, the expectation
was for a quality album in the
Tull tradition. The anticipation
was dUly rewarded with the
release or Aqualung. Personnel
changes, John Hammond­Hammond
on bass now, and
Barriemore Barlow on drums,
did not interrupt the flow of fine
music usually produced by

such as SI. Mary:s, St. Anthony,
and Sacred Hearl.
Another major YIC project is
the Juvenile Guidance program
being directed by Junior Jim
Buist. Under the terms of an
agreement with the Bridgeport
Juvenile Court, Fairfield
students may serve as ,\ssistant
Probation Officers. In this
capacity the student is assigned
a youngster, who has appeared
before the Court. and meets with
him at least one hour each week.
The purpose of the program,
according to Daly, is "to provide
encouragement, guidance, and
companionship 10 youngsters
under the Court'S jurisdiction. ,.
Following the Council's first
organizational meeting last
Monday, Buisl remarked that
approximately 150 new
volunteers had attended.
Expressing confidence in the
VIC's future, he commented:' I
have great hopes ror
constructive commitment within
the inner city community."

YIC Expects Good Year
Local Programs Begin
Bike Racks Aid
Student (,dists
Student bicyclists who literally
lay their transportation to rest
each night - on top of another
bike in one of the campus
dormitories, notably Loyola, are
in line for some relief.
Bicycle racks have been
purchased by the student
services division and will soon be
placed in key campus locations,
according to Ann-Marie
Samway. assistant dean in
charge of student activities.
Mrs. Samway explained last
week that the racks were
ordered to provide students with
a place to store their bikes and to
protect them from damaging
shuffling and piling in congested
dormitory entrances surh as
Loyola basement.
She admitted that a shelter
problem still exists, noting that
after the racks arrive the
possibility for constructing
partial shelters will be
investigated.
In the meantime, however.
Mrs. Samway suggested that a
dorm room or a 18rp remain the
only feasible shelter
alternatives.
Despite the organizational and
financial problems which
plagued last year's operations,
the Youth Interracial Council
has planned an ambitious
schedule of activities for the
months ahead. The programs.

race relations. will, in the words
of VIC chairman Kenneth Daly.
"enable concerned Fairfield
students ... to engage themselves
in organized. constructive social
activism. ,-
Founded in 1966, the Council
has aimed 10 ease the growing
urban problems of the greater
Bridgeport area. while at the
same time providing interested
students with the opportunity of
parlicipating in local social
work. With a volunteer
membership numbering over 200
it ranks as one of H,e largest and
most successful organizations on
campus.
Still, the YIC has not remained
free from past difficulties. Due
to a $3aOO concert deficit
incurred by the Afro-Am Society
last year. the Council failed to
receive an expected
appropriation of $1000 from the
Student Government. Serving to
further complicate the financial
picture was the theft of much of
the Council's sound system,
which was valued at $800. It had
been hoped that the sale of the
amplifier, microphone, and
s~akers comprising the system
would bring in additional
revenue.
But the YIC experienced some
of its most sertous difficulties in
matters of procedure and
organization. No sooner had the
tutoring projects been
established in local Bridgeport
schools. than a number of public
school educators proceeded to
question the worth of the
programs. In the case of Read
School tutors were even asked
not to return. Due 10 such
increasing friction between YIC
tutors and sc'lool officials,
therefore, this year's eHorts will
concentrate on parochial school
students.
The current tutoring program
is under the supervision of
Junior Jerry Agoglia. With
Catholic schools experiencing
greater financial pressures than
ever. Agoglia feels that the
VIC's plan of individual
assistance both during and after
school hours may in some way
direct public attention to the
problems of parochial education.
Thus. the YIC plans to work
closely with local grade schools

that a P grade simply covers too

to students doing superior work

recommended a third letter
which would recognize either a
superior or a less than average
performance.
Several others favored

Hockey Club Eager;
Try-outs in October
Perhaps the mOSl successful
season in the four year history of
the Fairfield University Hockey
Club is about to get underway
with team try-outs starting at
the beginning of October. At the
organizational meetings held
last week a marked increase in
tum-out for the playing and non­playing
members of the team
was noted.
League Formal Chaages
There ace some big changes in
the format for this coming year.
The Metropolitan Intercollegiate
Hockey League, of which
Fairfield is a member. has
dropped the leams of Queens..
College. Adelphi University. and
Columbia University from their
roster. This will leave the Stag
Icemen with sixteen regularly
scheduled League games, of
which eight are home games to
be played at the Wonderland of
Ice in Bridgeport.
A pre-season scrimmage is
scheduled for October 12 against
Brooklyn College in the Coney
Island Arena On Long Island_
Definite dates have not yet been
set for scrimmages planned
after the first of the year with
the Yale University junior
varsity squad and the Trinity
College hockey team.
Coach John McCarthy's team
has lost only two players from
last season's squad, so this year
the Stags are eyeing the league
championship with a strong
veleran group returning. as well
as many fine new players.
Minneapolis. Minn. - (l.P.) ­During
its three-year trial period
at the University of Minnesota
the Pass-No Credit (P-N)
grading option system has
received mixed reviews.
Statistics compiled for the last
two years here indicate that
students are not making a great
deal of usc of the alternative
system.
"There are probably a lot of
reasons for this," said Keith
Wharton. who has conducted five
separate studies on the P·N
system. "Many advisers suggest
to their students that they not
use the P-N option if they plan to
transfer to another school or go
on to graduate school. ,. he said.
Wharton also listed "subtle
pressure" from professors who
disapprove of the grading option
and make their feelings well
known to their students. as a
deterrent to its use. He added

Mr. Davis, Horan and Mr.

dispell rumors of possible

A two or three day succession
of voting was proposed by Dr.
Barone.
Again, the role of the
University Council in this area is
unclear. Should the University
Council directly involve itself in
a su.pervisory or advisory

these things happen? Will these
things happen if left alone?
These questions will be

If it fails, both Mr. Davis and
Fr. Mcinnes favor a partial

of the plan that all agreed upon.
Under the leadership of Gary
Marzella, intra murals are off to
a fast start this year. Football
matches begin this week with
over four hundred men
comprising sixteen teams
represenling all the dormitories
and some off campus groups. in
the schedule.
Pro football rules are being
used to initiate a more liberal
game and hopefully to do away
with tie games. Teams are being
pitted against teams of equal
strength. Also, no off-eampus
members will be permitted to
play for any of the floor teams
except in cases of extreme
hardship. Such cases must be
revie.....ed personally by Athletic
Director, Donald Cook.
Later this season. basketball.
volleyball. and softball will get
underway for the boys.
Basketball and volleyball will
also be offered to the female
students for the first time this
year.

Scrimmage Held
This past Saturday the
Ruggers held an inter-squad
scrimmage which saw the A
team defeat the B's. seven trys
to one. There was much less
kicking in the scrimmage than is
nonnally seen in a Rugby match,
~"hich is significant.
"We plan on being primarily a
running team this year, with an
emphasis on winning loose
scrums," explained McEndy.
"We're going to kick only when
it's absolutely necessary" the
junior prop stated.
In the scrimmage there was
only three seniors on the A team.
The rest of the team was made
up of ten ,rnniors and two
sophomores. The A team is
younR but it. has plenty of
expenence, With most or the
juniors having played since the
beginning of their freshman

Red Ruggers in Philly
to Open Vs. Wildcats
The Fairfield Ruggers will be
travelling to Philadelphia this
Saturday to tangle with
Villanova University.
The Wildcats are traditional
rN,!ls of Fairfield. Two years
ago they demolished the Red
Ruggers 27-3. However last year
Fairfield defeated the Wildcats
twice, ll-() and 14-9.
"I'm hoping we'll playas well
against Villanova this Saturday
as we did when we played them
last year." said vice-captain Tim
McEndy.
The week-end following the
Villanova match the Ruggers
will travel to West Point to meet
the CadelS. Fairfield has never
before played the Cadets. who
are known for their hard-hitting
style of play and good
conditioning.
Home Agai.Dst B.C.
Fairfield's first home game
will be the following week,
against Boston College. For the
Red Ruggers this will be a
revenge match. Two years ago
the Ruggers were upset 11-8 by
B.C. in a game they played just
before going on their Wales tour.
Last year Fairfield travelled to
Boston to play the Eagles and
they were defeated again. The
~ame was played in a sea of mud
Tie Pace 7-7
The Fairfield Football Club
will face a tough King's College
team in its season opener at
home this Saturday. The
Ironmen go into the conlest with
one scrimmage under their
belts. a 7·7 deadlock against
Pace College lastSalurday.
King's presents an awesome
challenge to Coach Tris Carta's
club. The Ironmen are coming
off a 3-5 year. while King's
copped the club football national
crown last year.
Scrimmage Helpful
Coach Carta indicated that the
scrimmage vs. Pace gave him a
good chance to formulate his
starting lineups for Saturday's
game. ,
A last quarter touchdown
enabled Pace to gain the tie. The
Jronmen threatened to go ahead
again on their final series, only
Eastern, Western, and Southern,
along with Paterson State will
provide the stiffest competition.
Along with the usual loss of
key players through graduation,
Kuhlman was dealt a double
blow when veteran halfbacks
Jim Mandable and Chip Mount
left school for personal reasons.
Both would have been juniors
and their experience and speed
will be a great loss to the team.
Coach Kuhlman will be looking
to three seasoned veterans to
form the nucleus of the young
team. Returning at goalie is
senior co-captalll Jim Sinnott
from Newington, Connecticut.
Sharing the honors this year with
Sinnott is fullback Vin Giannetto
from Wolcott, Connecticut.
Leading Scorer Back
Junior Jim Christino, another
Wolcott resident, returns as
leading scorer. Kuhlman hopes
that these three men will impart
their knowledge of the game and
competitive spirit to the younger
members of the team.
Mr. Kuhlman indicated that
severa) freshman. will see
considerable action this year due
to the loss of Mount and
Mandable. He also hinted that he
thought that more freshmen than
have come out have had some

and he hoped that these people
would still consider coming out
for the team.

The teams main strength this
year should be its pitching. The

Brightesl of the new hurlers is

Coach Cook describes him as a
"very hard thro.....er with the
potential to be a lop flight

A not so conspicuous feature of
Cook's freshmen crop is the
presence of six shortstops which
he hopes will help shore up the
defensive problems that plagued
last year's squad.

He indicated. of course, that

Coming off a doubleheader
loss to Eastern Connecticut last
Sunday, Coach Don Cook's
diamond men venture into
another fall season, attempting
to plug up many of the defensive
weaknesses which led to last
spring's disappointing 11-12
mark.
This fall the Stags will play ten
contests including an
appearance in the Tournament
of Champions in New York City.
Their first home appearance is
this Sunday's doubleheader
rematch with Eastern at 1:00
p.m.
In Sunday's twin bill loss. the
Stags got excellent pitChing but
weak hitting in dropping a 2·1
nine inning game and a seven
inning H) defeat at the hands of
Eastern.
In the opening game veteran
hurlers Bob Trojanowski and
Mike Yates combined with
newcomer Bart Beardsley to
record ten strikeouts but the
Stags oHense sputtered with
men on base.
The pitching chores in the
second tilt were shared by Al
Gabriele and Pat Laughna as
they whiffed seven.
Top hitters were Bob Ciccone,
Dan Sullivan and freshman Bob
Salois who all collected two hits
apiece.
Coach Cook used all of his 23
players with each getting in at
least 3 innings.
Reflecting on last season's
defensive collapse. Cook
indicated that virtually every
position is open on this year's
squad. "Our def(>nse completely
folded. Errors constantly
haunted us. Out of twenty three
games only one was errorless.
Compared with other years this
was a very poor showing."
Despite the mediocre spring
showing the Stags did finish
strongly to win five of their last
seven decisions.
Surprismgly. hilling was not a
major problem last year with
four batsmen over the .300 mark
and the learn batting a hefty .363.
Cook has lost three of those
four exceptional batsmen
through graduation. Butch
Azzara, Ken Lanifero. and Tom'
Finch are gone. Sophomore
hotshot Bob Ciccone returns
