FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY, FAIRFIELD, CONII:ECTICUT
THE
Vol. 3. No. %
By Roberl ByrD
In the wake of last spring-'s~
defeat of the tripartite
Constitution and as a direct
result of subsequent student
demands for a binding
University Council the members
of the Subcommittee of the
Board of Trustees for University
Governance have met
throughout the summer in an
attempt to determine what
alternatives to the rejected
document exist and how best to
end the thusfar elusive search
for a system of shared
governance acceptable to a
majority of students, faculty,
and administrators.
Now following four meetings
spread over a three month
perioo the nontrustee members
of the Subcommittee have
agreed to accept seven
principles or guidelines. which
will serve as a foundation for any
future discussion of how to
implement tripartitism.
Nix BIDdIDg Council
When in April of this year the
facultl' and administration voted
to reject the Constitution..
student representatives to the
University Council succeeded in
introoucing and securing Council
approval of a proposal which
urged the Board of Trustees to
recognize the Council, the only
operative tripartite body on
campus. as legally binding. By
transforming the Council from
an advisory body. as it had been
since its inception. into a type Of
legislature having binding
powers, the students hoped to
circumvent the anti-Constitution
votes of the administration and
faculty.
However. upon reaching the
subcommittee in May the
proposal quickly died when it
became apparent that it would
never gain majority approval.
Faculty members,
administrators. and Trustees
argued that acceptance of such a
plan would be tantamount to
turning a deaf ear to faculty and

Guidelines for Tripartite Gov't
Sigllllllcallli Rise
From the above figures it is
apparent that marks have
increased significantly over the
two semester periods ending last
May.
While 50% of the grades for the
Fall semester were B or better,
during the Spring. this-humber
rose to 56%. As a result,
grade is now considered
"average" by many professors
and students, while only a few
years ago, the average grade fell
in theC range.
When asked about the grade
situation, Fr. Coughlin
expressed the same concern he
voiced to the faculty last Fall.
Comparl.oD Reveals
Di.crepaDCy
"Grades mean nothing alone...
said the Dean. "But upon
comparison with the results of
the Graduate Record Exam and
other graduate school entrance
tests. the high grades at
Fairfield are not horne out.
Fr. Coughlin stated that,
nationally, a B is held to signify
honors work. but seniors at
Fairfield with a B average who
take Graduate Records do not
demonstrate honors
achievement.
Commented the Dean. "If a
student really satisfies a
treacher. the mark should be a
C. " He expressed concern that a
C has come to signify only
minimal effort on the part of the
student, and that a C is regarded
with disdain by students. while it
should be a respectable mark.
Exams to Remain
Commenting on another area
of academics, Fr. Coughlin
made it clear that final exams
would continue to be mandatory
for every course. He said that if
finals are to be suspended. the
professor must prove that his
course is cumulative
something that no professor has
tried to do as of yet.
While the Dean noted that
some finals are not worth giving,
either on account of their
simplicity or because they may
cover only the last few weeks of
the course material. he stated
that finals provide the
opportunity for a teacher to
summarize his course and
students to consolidate what
they have learned.

For the second consecutive
year. the median student grade
at Fairfield fell within the B
range. according to the results of
the Spring '72 grade averages
supplied by Reverend James H.
Coughlin. S.J" Dean of the
Undergraduate of Arts and
Sciences. A break-down of grade
averages for the Fall '71 and
Spring '72 semesters are as
follows:
A Fairfield man. indentified as
Daniel Kenisky, 37. of 259
Edward Street. boarded the
unattended University bus as it
was parked near Loyola Hall last
Friday evening and proceeded to
drive its occupants. ten girls
awaiting their daily ride to
Bridgeport's Warner Hall.
around the campus before
returning them and their vehicle
to the front steps of Loyola.
Kenisky. who had left his
green Pontiac parked behind the
bus before embarking upon his
joy ride. was detained by
Security officers and later
charged by Fairfield police with
criminal trespass and taking a
motor vehicle without
permission.
The unexpected ride. which
lasted no more than IS minutes
and caught the Security
department by surprise. took the
girls past Bellarmine Pond, out
the Round Hill Road exit by the
Playhouse. and back onto the
campus near Northwest Hall. At
no time, according to the
passengers, did Kenisky
threaten them with physical
harm.
When asked why he took the
bus, Kenisky replied. "How the
hell should I know!"

even hoped to expand this season - there was and

abeyance. waiting for similar commitment of funds.
We are informed that if enough students donate their

not least, if the members of the Student Government
Legislature are sufficienUy convinced of the
worthiness of the Evening of Music series to apportion
sufficient funds for this project, the series will be able

Tom McCorry. a former
basketball coach at Sacred Heart

will undertake his forementioned

more explicit than the common

based on performance the

Since the sub-varsity schedule
calls for a total of only 19 games.
this type of maneuvering is
made possible by an ECAC
ruling which allows a player to
participate in a maximum
number of 26 games.
McCorry, a 32-year old
bachelor. will succeed Richard
Percudani, who turned down
numeroos offers during the past
year to return to the coaching
ranks of European professional
basketball including a recent
opportunity to join the
organization of an NBA team,
decided to accept the head
coaching and teaching job at
Darien High School. His decision
was based on the fact that he is
looking forward to remaining as
a resident of the Fairfield
community and at the same time
enter into a very challenging
position as a teacher on the high
school staff.
Percudani's talents have not
only been outstanding in the field
of recruiting but also in his
ability to relate his tremendous
basketball knoWledge that has
led to the current outstanding
crop of freshmen personnel at
Fairfield.

Stag Nine
To Debut
At this Sunday's home doubleheader
against Eastern
Connecticut State College
baseball coach Don Cook expects
to give his recently recruited
freshmen a good looking over.
Fall baseball is more or less a
pre-season exhibition schedule, a
time to blend in the rookies with
the experienced veterans.
Heading the list of some 22
freshmen prospects, is pitcher
Kevin Roche. second baseman
Mike Cammarata and catcher
Fred Tunney. Roche hails from
St. Joseph's Regional High
School, Teaneck. New Jersey.
The 6'2" 170 lb. pitcher possesses
a sharp breaking curve ball that
enabled him to post a 4-2 record
while striking out 58 in 42
inni~$.
Cammarata, a Trenton, New
Jersey product, batted .347 for
Ewing High enroute to All·
County and second team all·state
selections.
Tunney. a .260 hitter and fine
defensive catcher. comes from
Sept. 14, 1971
Carle Place. New York and
gained the baseball team's MVP
award his senior }·ear.
EMPHASIS ON ADJUSTMENT
The adjustment from High
SChool baseball to college
baseball is a big one and the
seventeen game fall schedule
featuring eight doubleheaders
with all but seven games on the
weekend, is designed for that
purpose. By carrying a 3O-man
roster. including about a dozen
freshmen, Cook wiJl be able to
use the doubleheaders to
maneuver positions. lineup and
personnel of his team. lookingfor
the right combination. While
employing this same strateg)'
last year. he took a young and
inexperienced Stag team from a
2-11 fall mark to a 15-8 spring
record.
Cook guided the Fairfield nine
during the past campaign to its
best record. accomplishing this
feat with only one senior.
Captain Jim McGintee. II
freshmen and sophomores and
two rirst-year players. Although
the Stags posted only a .224 team
batting average. they captured
the last ten games of the season
relying on a pitching staff that
sported an impressive 1.87 team
ERA.
TROJANOWSKI, McKEE
HONORED

backup pivot positions. Top draft
choice Marshall Wingate once
again returns to Stag land. The
6'S" Niagara standout garned
just nine points last year as the
Stags upset Niagara. 68-67.
The Detroit Pistons are
definitely better than their
previous season's record of 2656.
Coach Earl L1yod, starting
his first full season. can rebuild
with 6'11". 265-pound Bob Lanier
as the foundation. Lanier
averaged 25.7 P.P.II. while
pulling down 1.132 rebounds.
With catlike quickness coupled
with a great eye from the
outside. Lanier is one of the top
offensive threats in the leaJi:ue.
But since defense is at least 50
percent of any sport and
something which the Pistons
lacked last year. Celtic jitreat
Bill Russell has been hired to
shore up the defensive
alignments and work in
particular with Lanier during the
pre-season.
Perennial all-star Dave Bing is
recovering from an eye
operation which caused him to
miss a major part of the '71
basketball season. This one-time
NBA leading scorer will be
paired with Stu Lantz or veteran
Howie Komives in the
backcourt.
The familiar Fairfield
University gym will be the scene
of an upcoming display of pro
basketball. The Detroit Pistpns
and the Philadelphia 76'ers are
set to square off on Thursday,
september 28 in an exhibition
Jilame sponsored by the Stag
Booster Club. Both teams
suHered through dismal seasons
last year. but with such talent as
Dave Bing. Bob Lanier. Bill
Bridges, &b Rule and Hal Greer
available. a complete turnabout
is a possibility.
76'er coach Roy Rubin
definitely has the toullher task.
Gone is all-star forward Billy
Cunningham. who now finds
himself playing for the Carolina
Cougars of the ABA. Two of the
great ones, Bill Bridges. a
rugged rebounding cornerman
and Hal Greer. the all-time NBA
leader in games played f with
close to 11001, are nearing the
end of their fabulous careers.
6'9" 230 lb. Bob Rule is
entering his sixth pro season
with a career average of over
2Opts. Rule, a good left-handed
shooter, is ideally suited for the
corner, but because of
Philadelphia's lack of a good big
man is forced to play the pivot.
Guards Fred Carter and Kevin
Loughery provide Rubin with a
competent backcourt. Former
Assumption great Jake Jones
and past N.Y. Knick Mike Price
vie for a starting assignment.
In an attempt to strengthen the
front line, the 76'ers acquired
6'7" Terry Dischinger from the
Pistons in exchange for Fred
Foster, The acquisition of 6'8"
Manny Leaks from the N. Y. Nets
is an added plus. One year with
the Dallas Chapparals. Leaks
averaged 18.7 p.p.g. as he
grabbed 1,047 rebounds. Veteran

When a freshm°en basketball
star averages 37 points and grabs
an average of IS rebounds a
game. everyone looks to see
what he can do on the varsity
level. Phil Rodgers was just such
a star. The 6'6" forward, along

the 1976-71 frosh team to a 17-4
mark.
Unfortunately for Phil
Rodgers and for Fairfield
