Selected cities include Long
Island, Boston, Waterbury,
northern New Jersey,
Westchester County, Hartford
and Washington, D.C.
The first IMPACT program is
set for the evening of October 1,
in East Meadow, Long Island.
Arranged as a dinner-meeting
at East Meadow's Salisbury
Club, the affair will feature a
panel discussion, a faculty
seminar, and a keynote address
by Fr. Mcinnes.
In the panel discussion,
Timothy Grace, student and
editor-in-chief of the University
Voice, along with William P.
Schimpf. vice president in
charge of student affairs, and
history professor Paul I. Davis
will discuss topics related to the
university with parents and
alumni.
!'-t the same time, some other,
sliU un-named, faculty member
will deliver a talk on some
contemporary subject not
directly related to the
university,
A break for cocktails and
dinner will be followed by Fr.
McInnes' "state of the
university" address which will
end the meeting.
According to Paul J. Greeley,
director of alumni affairs, this
program is a "sophistication" of
two separate programs run last
year, the alumni association's
"Forums," and the parents
association's "Regional

landlords are finding tenents
difficult to come by,
Mr. Boucher cited another
aspect of the problem. In terms
of planning a budget. the flux o[
student room and board fees
causes the accounting
department some trouble.
Up until the second week of
school, a student may receive
80% of the $1200 cost in the form
of a refund.
Thus many people are
inconvenienced by this problem.
The student who must move
twice in two weeks. the landlord
who is left with a vacant room.
and the administrator who must
try to please them all.
Other schools have solved this
problem with a form of contract,
or binding agreement which the
student signs, commiting him or
her to live in the dorm.
'Impact' On the Road
Students, mostly
upperclassmen, who reserved
rooms on campus decided not to
live in the dorm at such a late
date that many freshmen and
upperclassmen had to make
plans to live off-campus.
When planning to admit
freshmen into the dorms. Ed
Boucher, director of student
residence, must plan on all those
who signed up for a room to
follow through with their
original agreement to live on
campus.
This is done soon after room
sign-up, which is usually in late
March or early April.
Thus students who decide to
move to the beach or freshmen
who decide not to come to
Fairfield cause a two-fold
problem.

already contracted to live in

rejected and sent back to the
committee.
After passage of the bill, the
organization will receive an
invoice of the money received
from the student government.
Because handling budgets is a
time-consuming job, according
to Merritl, all campus
organizations are urged to hand
in their budgets promptly to
either Merritt or Steve Dormer,
president of the student
government, or mail them to
BoxG.
Under no circumstances can a
newly-formed club receive funds
unless its constitution has been
passed by the student legislature
and filed with student services.
In general, the Appropriations
committee chairman stated that
the function of the committee is
not to rule campus organizations
but simply to advise and help
them financially.
The committee also works in
an advisory capacity to the
student body president and also
the student legislature.
In Merritt's opinion, the
committee will continue to
function well because "there is
no conflict of interests between
the members of his committee
and the organizations they
discuss. "

Next, Mr. O'Connor
complained that the writer of the
first story had listed $50.000 as
the amount of money which the
faculty stood to lose in the
freeze. This figure represents
only the pay periods within the
initial freeze period.
"Since we have been given no
indication that the freeze will
end on November 18, we can only
assume that the faculty stands to
lose the entire $200,000 in pay
increments which they were
scheduled to receive this year.

Housing has always been a
problematic area. From the
days of study-hours and lightsout
to Shelton Hall and the
Holiday Inn, estimating the
number of students that will live
in the dorms and providing them
with suitable and appropriate
surroundings has been the job of
Student Services.
This year, a recurring probl~m
has shown itself in new and
staggering dimehsions.
Over eighty beds were found to
be empty after two days of
school. Others are still showing

be spent.
Before a budget is approved,
the committee will also take into
consideration the number of
people in the club, the number of
people on campus it effects, and
whether all debts have been paid
by the organization.
Bi Weekly Sessions
During each off-week of
student legislature, the
Appropriations committee will
conduct a meeting in which the
president, treasurer and
moderator are'invited to attend
to explain their budget and
answer any questions.
This session will also deal with
each organization's outside
source of revenue to.gain money,
such as mixers and raffles.
Discussion of the budget will
afterwards take place by the

A recommendation agreed
upon by the fourteen commiUee

Working on a first received,
(irst considered basis, the
Appropriations Committee of the
student legislature is now in the
process of handling budget
proposals from the various
organizations and clubs on
campus.
Bill Merritt '73. committee
chairman, stated that due to the
increase of money this year in
his department, the committee
is capable of giving more
financial assistance to campus
activities,
Merritt emphasized that no
organization can have its budget
approved unless each member of·
the organization has paid his
$25.00 government activity fee.
To verify that this fee has been
paid, each club requesting
financial assistance must
present a list of its members to

accompanied by a letter of

Two faculty members charged
the University Voice with
- -_",,~jded reporting of the wageprice
freeze and its effeclon the
university faculty.
Leo O'Connor, of the English
department, and Arthur
Anderson, of the sociology
department, complained last
week that two separate front
page articles appearing in the
Voice on September 16 and
Sept. 23 held "slanted
interpretations," favoring the
administration's view of the
problem.
The first article, "Teachers
Hurt by Freeze." discussed the
impact of the national wageprice
freeze on the Fairfield
faculty, while lhe folloWing
week's story, "Teachers Discuss
Freeze," concerned the year's
first faculty m~ting al which
the issue was also discussed.
Meet With Reporters
Specifically. Mr. O'Connor and
Mr. Anderson argued that the
first article, written by Timothy
Grace, editor-in-chief, contained
certain misleading information,
while the second piece authored
by Kathy Riordan made several
unwarranted assumptions.
Initially the issue was aroused
following a phone call to the
Voice office by Mr. O'Connor
who explained that he and Mr.
Anderson wished to set up an
appointment with Miss Riordan
who they felt had possibly
"slandered" them in her article,
After hearing this report, the
editor made an appointment for
himself and the reporter to meet
with both men last Friday to
discuss the accusations.
Mr, O'Connor had informed
Mr. Grace over the phone that
the two articles had contained
"too many mistakes to even
attempt to write a leller to the
newspaper about." It would be
beller, he said, to discuss them
ata meeting.
No Consultation
At the agreed upon session,
Mr. O'Connor first stated that
the basic problem with Mr.
Grace's article was that it was
written without consulting a
major in the situation, the
faculty salary committee. This
alone, he felt caused a "slanted
interpretation. "

projections also point to an everincreasing
fraction o( campus
enrollment at the state college
and community college level.
The rate of growth on the
university level. meantime. has
reached a plateau.
"What this means," Dr. Stern
explained, "is that about 80 per
cent of the new doctorates will
be needed in teaching not
scholarly research." He. also
sees the doctor of arts degree
replacing the Ph.D. as the
terminal degree for persons who
plan to teach.
The new committee
established to explore the n.A.
at the VofC is committed to
finding ways to shape a "real
doctorate - not a second-class
degree - equal in every respect
to the Ph.D." Of course. it also
must learn if the consensus here
is in favor of its introduction.
"The principal difference
CD.A. versus Ph.D.) would be
that the emphasis would be on
work related to developing
teaching ability rather than
research skills."
The UofC committee hopes
that the combined input from the
representative community
college and state college
systems will enable it to develop
a blueprint for a truly valuable
doctor of arts here.
"The Doctor of Arts degree
may well be the most important
graduate education development
o( tbe past quarter century,"
concludes Dr. Stern.
New Image
Phi Kappa Theta does its best
to alter that image. Last year
the fraternity worked with the
Red Cross Blood Bank traveling
to many schools and offices in
the area.
A clothing drive for the
Glenmary missionaries was also
sponsored and at Christmas time
several boys brought a lilUe good
cheer to the old folks home in
Fairfield.
This year Phi Kappa Theta is
getting into the international
scene playing host to a Brazilian
student and former prisoner o(
the Brazilian government.
Sponsored by the national
fraternity. he is traveling to
campuses throughout the
country giving lectures and
discussing his experiences. He
will spend approximately a week
at Fairfield.
Ecology Minded
The brothers also hope to get
into the ecological activity going
on in the town of Fairfield.
Another of their goals is to
erect some kind of monument to
Kevin Espcron. a brother who
was killed last year in an
automobile accident.
Already, the fraternity has
distributed plasUc binders to the
freshman class. It has been the
fraternity's most visible activity
in quite a while.
Social Sceae
Among the social activities
planned for this year are a trip to
New York to see a broadway
play. a formal week.end in the
spring and in the meantime a
little intra-mural athletics and
some goodtime parties.
Ttie future of fraternities is
still nebulous. Their role at
Fairfield has never been strictly
defined and only the future will
tell if it will become a more solid
or a gradually diminishing one.

New Degree Studied
Storrs, Conn. - II.P.) - The
University of Connecticut has
embarked on an exploratory
study of a new kind or doctoral
degree. tailored for teachers,
which is rast winning adherents
on campuses across the nation.
A special committee has been
established to investigate the
possibility of introducing the
"doctor of arts" degree here.
The committee has issued a call
to the numerous UofC schools,
departments and divisions
involved in the production of
doctorates, seeking their views
on the desirability of such a
degree.
According to Dr. Milton R.
Stern. an English professor and
chairman of the Doctor of Arts
Committee in the Graduate
School. "The D.A. degree is now
granted by seven U.S.
institutions. with 35 more
scheduled to introduce it and
another 25 planning to establish
D.A. programs in the fall of
1972...
Dr. Stern quoted figures
supplied by the Council of
Gr.aduate Schools in the United
States which show some 85 per
cent of all people who today
acquire the Ph.D. plan teaching
careers. Moreover. the Council
estimates. more than iO per cent
of them never publish.
The UofC professor said the
vast majority of new Ph.D.·s are
located at the state colleges and
communitiy colleges. but the
bulk of research for which the
Ph.D. is primarily designed goes
on at the university level. He
also noted that there are a
trial period
two months.

By Debbie Murphy
Are the good old days of
fraternity beer bashes. hazing
and brotherly spirit coming to an
end on college campuses?
Although Fairfield can't be used
as a criteria for judgement since
social or community life never
centered around fraternities
here. it is slightly indicative of a
nation-wide trend.
Phi Kappa Theta, the one
remaining social fraternity on
campus. was able to recruit only
one freshman last year.
The previous year had a much
better showing of twenty-cight.

imperative that VIC be Ihe one
to purchase it because it is the
only source of transportation for
the group," said Daly. Even
though Ihe student government
is only asking a nominal fee of
$1.00 for the van. there seem 'to
be many difficulties to be
overcome before the deal can be
consummated.
Money Needed
Another difficulty is that if the
purchase is approved. VIC musl
ask for additional appropriations
from the -student legislative for
the cost of maintaining the van
as well as the fee for the
insurance policy.
"If Ihe student government
plans to sell the van it is
2:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.. thus
eliminating the use of the van for
other groups during this prime
time.
Il was therefore suggested
that VIC should purchase the van
so that it would have total
discretion in the use of the van,
as well as continuing its only
source of group transP9rtation
for the tutoring program.
Insurance Is Problem
After its purchase in
November 1970. the van was
initially idle for several week.s.
There was a problem obtaining
insurance coverage due to the
age group that would be driving
the van. the type of vehicle it
was. and the number or people
that it would carry. At the time,
only a $10.000-20.000 policy was
obtained. There would be $10.000
coverage for an indivjdual and
$20.000 for everyone for $140 a
year.
The policy also specified that
the driver of the van must have
had no moving violations or
accidents in the past three years.
This caused a great deal of
difficulty as to who could drive
the van. This policy will expire
shortly and will be renewed
under $100.000-$300.000 coverage,
which was originally desired.
Liability Questioned
There is some difficulty
presently with the actual
purchasing of the van by YIC.
According to Ken Daly.
president of organization. YIC is
not "incorporated within the
university." that is. the
presKlent of VIC would be
directly liable for the van. He
said the university bore the
responsibility previously
because the student government

No one is. in fact. incorporated
into the charter of the
university. The student
government constitution was
approved by the trustees but the
effect that this will have on the
relationship bet.....een the student
government and the institution is
not yet clear. Presently. the
university assumes no legal
responsibility for the actions of
the student government.
Therefore. the president of the

It was not originally in Mrs.

"wanl a chance to try again."
Thus far, Mrs, Cook has found
all the girls enthusiastic and

Exact procedures for the end

Mr. Boucher said. "The object is
to avoid double billing for
damages that a student never

On the other side of the
procedure. Mr. Charles
Williams. director of
maintenalJce, is m charge of the
end-of-the-year room mspection
and the actual determination of
COSts for room damages.

He said. "The new procedure

Over 200 students complained
about unfair or inaccurate billing
last year, while Mr. Williams
recalls only about 25 this fall.
Mr. Williams and his staff
would again like to Inspect each
room before the students leave.
Last year this plan did not
materialize in many dorms due
to the delay that it caused for
students. Final plans are still
being worked on.
About the surprise registered
by so many when the fee
appeared on the bill. Mr.
Boucher said that a memo
posted at the end of last year
explained the policy change.

"The change." he said. "was a
result of a desire to fulfill the
needs of the students."
Mr. Beucher saw the early

process to fairly assess and
determine the damages in the

"The problem is to collect

Fr. McInnes argues that the
law, by nature, doesn't shut off
all future avenues. rather, it
"sets directions". "A court
decision may represent final
authority, but it is not the last
word, ,. he says.
The university president
suggests that active members of
academic communitys must now
recognize the power which is
theirs to help mold the future of
church-related systems_
Among the suggestions he
makes in the article, Fr.
Mcinnes says that educators
must strive not to confuse the
language of the church with the
language of the school .....hen
presenting the case for churchrelated
colleges.
He also claims that ..academic
leaders should be able to
distinguish for others - and for
themselves· the basic difference
between a school and a church."
The school is basically an
intellectual institution and its
nature can be modified but not
changed by the fact that it also is
Catholic. Fr. Mcinnes argues.
Finally, he urges educators to
join in the race, investigating
possible areas for structural
change which .....ill better enable
church-related colleges to work
successfully with in the new
rulings. And not at the expense
of their original value system.
directly mto bus mess and
industry, or to teaching at a noncollege
level. Others entered
officer training school with the
military, according to Dr,
McDonald.
Emphasizing that competition
for graduate school is very
tough, Dr. McDonald advises
stUdents that It IS not too soon to
start thinking about graduate
school.
Some of last years seniors.
according to McDonald. who had
very high cumulative indexes
were turned down because they
applied too late or else they
applied to very selective schools.
Regarding early application, the
rule .....ould seem to imply the
earlier the better. since Dr.
McDonald noted that many
schools have a long waiting list.
aVOiCE
college victory.
ANew Beginning
The president maintains in his
article. "Win One Lose One- The
Supreme Court," that the
"headlines are only the leads to
a long story still unfolding,"
He states further: "In my
opinion .. , The enthusiasm of the
college victory and tbe
pessimism of the bigh school
defeat might tempt us to see asa
final settlement what is really a
new direction and beginning."
.., see the court decisions as a
challenge to our imagination, not
as a death knell to our
aspirations ... the headlines and
the party may both obscure the
real challenge that lies ahead for
church and school leaders," he
adds.
Reflecting on the events
leading to the final decision over
the past three years. Fr.
Mcinnes notes that the complex
legal battle often caused him to
feel that the university had
become a "spectator at its own
wake."
ASigniflcanl Role
He notes, however, that "Our
occasional cynicism was
superseded by a growing
realization that we were playing
a significant role in both
educational and legal history....
We were not shutting down the
future, we were opening it up."
Dr. Gerard McDonald,
chairman of the Graduate
Studies Committee recently
stated that the number of
Fairfield graduates going on to
graduate schools has fallen off
drastically.
According to Dr. McDonald,
there are numerous factors
contributing to lhe decline.
Economic factors, Dr.
McDonald noted. are of prime
importance. Many students, he
explains, do not have the money
required to study for a doctorale.
On the other side of the coin.
he noted that many graduate
schools do not have the money
that .....ould be needed to hire new
faculty to teach a greater
number of students.
Regarding actual numbers
attending graduate school. Dr.
McDonald saKi that it .....ould be
necessary to wait until later on
in the year when feedback from
the graduate schools themselves
arrives.
Questionnaires sent out last
spring to graduating seniors
have yielded a small number of
replies, making it difficult to
obtain an accurate picture of last
year's graduate careers.
Dr. McDonald, expressed his
concern over receiving only a
handful of replies out of a
gra~uating class of over 400,
statmg that the graduate for
some reason "did not seem to
.....ant to be known."
Regarding the general college
graduate situation, Or,
McDonald did note that the
general "trend is away from
graduate school" with many
students laking on other
interests.
Fordham Law School. for
instance, Dr, McDonald cUed,
was only able to take 300 of 2600
applicants. Furthermore, some
schools are even closing some of
their graduate departments,
according to the graduate
studies chairman,
Also. he noted that fe .....er
fellowships and scholarships are
being awarded due to lack of
funds.
Other reasons for the decline
.....ere given as the decision of
some not to go on for a Ph.D.
because they feel that the
educational field is glUtled with
them,
Also many students who might
otherwise have chosen to go into
graduate studies went, instead,
Fewer Grads Going On
THE UNIVERSITY VOICE
By Timotby Grace
The score stands at one-all
following Fairfield's first major
encounter with the highest court
in the land, but "The race is not
over yet. ,.
So says the Rev. William C,
McInnes, S.J., university
president, in the latest edition of
America Magazine in reference
to the university's unique
combinatKln won-loss at the
hands of the Supreme Court this
past June.
On the college level, the
university won a major victory
concerning the constitutionality
of building grants to churchrelated
colleges while, one the
prep level. it lost a battle for
funds,
In the article, Fr. Mcinnes
insists that the "college victory
and the high school defeat are
not a final settlement but a new
direction and a new beginning."
A Wla aad A Los.
In the first case. Fairfield
along with three other Catholic
colleges in Connecticut .....ere
ruled okay for receiving federal
funds in the form of construction
grants which helped build both
our library and science building.
Fairfield Prep, which also
falls under the university'S
corporate structure was
indirectly injured by another
case which ruled that Catholic
elementary and secondary
schools in Pennsylvania and
Rhode Island were not eligible to
receive public assistance in the
form of payments for teachers'
salaries for secular subjects.
A major beneficiary of the
program before its declaration
as unconstitutional, the Prep had
already received $43,000 for the
current year.
FollOWing the decisions,
newspaper headlines across the
country played up the potentially
disastrous effects that lhe high
school decision could have on the
country's parochial schools.
Relatively smaller space was
devoted to the news of the
materialistic," which he insists
Miss Riordan's statement
implies.
His other main complaint
about this statement was that it
also assumed that the faculty
has no right to order their own
agenda. He questioned whether
an outside party should even be
able to enter a faculty meeting to
do this.
Finally, he decried the lack of
any reference to information in
the "fact sheet" issued by the
salary -:ommittee to the faculty
concerning the committee's
report wage-price freeze.
Miss Riordan explained that
she was sitting with members of
the press at the meeting and did
not receive a copy of the sheet.

Barone, prior to the beginning of
school in September.
Finally, Mr. O'Connor pointed
to an .. inaccuracy" in the
story's last paragraph: "'Only
the faculty's twelve month
payment plan prevented them
from losing even more money as
a result of the freeze.'"
lie charged that this payment
plan was actually available at
any time to all faculty and was
therefore no special service
which saved them any money.
Mr. Hickson had explained to
Mr. Grace that mosl faculty
receive their annual salary in
pay checks twice a month,
twelve months a year instead of
the eight or nine thallhey work.
In regard to the freeze. then. the
diUerence was that each facully
m~mber would lose 5/24 of their
scheduled increase instead of
5/18 if they received their entire
salary durin~ the school year.
Faculty 'Nettled'
Mr. Anderson entered the
discussion at this point
explaining that he and many
other faculty members were
"nellled" by Miss Riordan'S
report of the faculty meeting.
Mr. Anderson said they found
the "slanted article" upsetting
because the faculty has worked
quite hard to achieve its present
salary position. Only two years
ago, says Mr. Anderson, faculty
salaries at Fairfield were badly
out of line with similar
institutions. The article
overlooked this fact. he fell.
The freeze has effectively
wiped out hundreds of hours of
work that members of the salary
committee put in before they
were recognized by the
administration two years ago
and thus enabled to attain a pay
scale which achieved rough
parity with other schools,
Making another point. the
sociology instructor explained
that lhe faculty knew it was in
bad taste to pre-empt the faCUlty
meeting which scheduled the
president's speech first. but they
feared that lhe speech would
further difuse the malter.
Mr. O'Connor took specific
issue with the reporter's opening
sentence: "In a truly
materialistic consideration,
money took precedence over the
President's speech."
He said that he doesn't
consider the fact that "84
percent of Fairfield's faculty
make under $12,000 - not even a

Brian and Mary Jane
honeymooned at Elbow Beach in
Bermuda.
The Lenihans have now
returned to school along with the
rest of the university. They have
both remarked that they miss
being able to see their friends as
frequently as before since they
are now commuting,
This is the biggest difference
in returning to campus an "old"
married couple of three weeks.
They are living with Mary Jane's
parents in West Redding,
Connecticut.
Mary Jane will graduate in
December and Brian in May.
During the summer they both
became licensed real estate
agenlS and they plan to open
their own business after
graduation.
..... and so, Brian broke that
stag tradition and look Mary
Jane for his wife.
Q. What would you say to a
teacher who doesn't believe in
grades. refuses to give tests, and
has never failed a student?
A. You're fired.
Q. Who will enforce the Dean's
new rulings? What punishment
will be handed out to offenders?
A. Fr. Coughlin reports. '"
expect that teachers will
voluntarily restrain themselves
when marking tests or papers.
Ho.....ever, in order to insure total
compliance. I have arranged for
a number of Security Guards,
cleverly disgUised as students, to
spot-check selected classrooms
for violations. First-time
offenders will be denied
admittanCf: to faculty meetings.
A second violation results in the
loss of parking privileges, A
third offense is considered a
grievous matter. The accused
will be forced to give up his seat
in the Faculty Dining Room and
must eat lunch in the student
cafeteria.
Q, This is my first year of
teaching. and I want to start off
on the right foot. I have heard a
great deal about the average
student, but am having trouble
identifying him. Would you
please define the average
student so that I can give him a C
when I get one in class.
A. The average student is one
who scores average marks on
tests, attends class an average
number of times. writes an
average length paper, and
averages an average number of
oral responses a day. I hope lhat
answers your question.
Q, Whenever I mark a quiz or a
paper, I experience a
tremendous surge of power
swelling up within me, I feel as if
I have the fales of my students in
dates. One among the latter
group was Brian Lenihan.
Brian had returned to school
early to help with freshman
orientation. Little dKi he know
that 'one afternoon during
orientation he would meet a
junior transfer named Mary
Jane Brady who would later
become his wife.
Brian ~ihan and Mary Jane
Brady Lenihan were the first two
members of the university
community to be married in
Loyola Chapel, only a short time
after co-education was instituted
at Fairfield.
Brian, a junior at Fairfield
majoring in sociology, was
introduced to Mary Jane through
a mutual friend at the
orientation picnic behind
Bellarmine.
Mary Jane had transferred as
a junior to Fairfield from
Ladycliff College. She too was a
sociology major.
They began to date through
Thanksgiving and were pinned.
Their pinning was soon followed
by the announcement of lheir
engagement on Christmas Eve
1970. An August 1971 wedding
was planned.
On August 28, 1971, Brian and
Mary Jane were wed at the
university chapel. Rev, George
Mahon, S.J., officiated at lhe
nuptial mass.
The couple recited vows which
they composed.
After a cocktail hour on lhe
mezzanine of the campus center,
a reception was held in the Oak
Room, catered by Specialized
Management.
Brian and Mary Jane chose to
be married at the university
because they felt it was an
importat part of their lives. They
thought that the campus would
be a pretty setting for the
weddinllt,
Ever since the faculty meeling
at which Fr. Coughlin rebuked
the teachers for "leniency" in
grading, the Dean's office has
been deluged with questions
from conCf:med professors, who
want to know how to best
implement this new "get tough"
policy in marking.
To aid the distraught teacher
Fr. Coughlin ordered his
secretaries to compile the most
common queries together with
their appropriate answers into a
booklet, "Guidelines for Grading
- A New Approach to the
Marking Dilemma." Exerpts
from the pamphlet appear
below.
Q. t was so bored during the
facully meeting that I corrected
the tests which I had given to my
class that morning. Everyone
got an A. Must I change the
marks?
A. It all depends on your
timing. If you had corrected the
tests before the Dean spoke, lhe
grades which you assigned are
valid. However. every test
marked after Fr. Coughlin's
speech must be lowered to aC.
Q, I am a chronic high-marker.
How do I kick the habit?
A. That's easy. When you find
yourself slipping, just remember
the maxim, "A high grade is a
contraCl unmade." H never fails
to bring a teacher back lo his
senses.
Q, Being a very patriotic
professor I've always done my
part for the school. Two years
ago I failed one-third of my
students, while last year I gave
out only D's and E·s. Should I be
doing more?
A. Teachers like you warm lhe
heart of a Dean. Keep up the
good .....ork.

life and death! Perhaps' am a
god! Is this a normal reaction?
A. Congratulations! Today you
have learned what it means to be
a teacher.

weekend Masses is given to any
cause which needs it. One recent
recipient was a university
student who had suffered
injuries in an automobile
accident.
Both chaplains are hesitanl at
this time to say lhat lhere is a
spiritual revival on campus, but
are satisfied with the increased
participation for now.
By Joyce Lasini
OnCf: upon a time, there was a
small men's university in
Southern New England called
Fairfield. Because of the nonexistence
of females on the
university campus, it had
become the stag tradition to seek
the female "companionship" at
the private girls' schools in the
area.
In the Fall of 1970, that same
tradition was challenged.
Female undergraduate students
became part of the university
community. The stags .....ere
given an option to the
conventional journey to the girls'
schools. While some continued
with tradition, others chose to
invite their female counterparts
from the university out for

'72 explains his budget to members of the Student Legislature at
their last meeting before the new elections.
Mass Attendance Up
Spiritual Revival?
It may be premalure to call
large crowds at Mass a spiritual
revival, but there is an increased
participation of religion on our
campus.
There is certainly a marked
rise in allendence at Mass on
Sundays. according to John
Romeo. Assistant to the
Chaplain. The increase in
number can be attributed 1.O a
large number of townspeople
coming to Loyola Chapel for the
Weekend Masses.
A large percentage of students
al Mass are freshmen. they may
be continuing their family
traditions only temporarily,
stated Romeo.
Fr. John Higgins, the Catholic
chaplain said the weekday
Celebration at 10:00 p.m. is also
well attended. Twenty to twentyfive
people go everynight. Last
year the nightly atendance was
closer to 10.
The Orientation Mass was
extremely well attended, while
the Mass of the Holy Spirit
received only a modest crowd.
No lay faculty members were
present at this Mass to which
they had received written
invitations.
A new folk song group
composed mostly of freshmen is
singing at the 7:00 p.m. Mass on
Saturdays. They are interested
in doing traditional songs for
now, but hope to expand their
repertoire week by week.
What may be termed an
informal Pentacostal group uses
the chapel facilities for scripture
readings which are held late at
night.
There has been a change in
structure in the chaplaincy, also.
The Rev. Joseph Trinkle, S.J.
holds the position of University
Chaplain. His job is to direct all
religious aclivities on campus
and to coordinate appointments
with ministers and rabbis to tend
to the needs of non-eathol ic
students. Fr. Trinkle also
handles the clerical and
budgeting duties.
Fr. Higgins' primary role is to
work directly with students.
To assist in their work, Fr.
Trinkle and Fr. Biggins have set
up office hours where all
members of the university
community are free to drop in. It
is hoped that this policy
promotes student feedback about
the religious activities on
campus.
One result of expressed
opinions is resulting in the
reintroduction of the Saturday
mKinight Mass which will begin
this Saturday, October 2.

"Maggie Mae". Saying more
about this ~ng than just saying
that it's great would be saying
too much. It's only weakness lies
in the lyrics but Stewart's voice
heals the worst affliction of
words. Stewart springs into a
version of the old Temptation's
song... , Know I'm Losing You"
doing an exceptionally fresh job.
Finally Rod does a Tim Hardin
song "Reason to Believe". the
song which got AM airplay with
"Maggie", It surprised me that
this song did not achieve the
popularity of "Maggie"
inasmuch as they are equally
good compositions.
Stewart is more than amply
backed by some fine musicians
on this album: Mick Waller on
drums, Pete Sears on Piano. Ron
Wood on steel guitar. guitar, and
bass. and Martin QuiUenton on
acoustic guitar,
Irs rather astonishing that
"Every Picture Tens a Story"
has reached such popular
success when none of the other
Rod Stewart LPs has. This
album contains nothing more
than the previous albums. yet it
attained much more. Perhaps
the audience has become ready
to accept Rod Stewart, but lers
hope also that his success does
not affect the soul which makes
his music what it is_

Brandy of the
Damned
ByEd McKeon
Rod Stewart
WINE & SPIRIT
MERCHANTS
Perhaps the first time I heard
the Jeff Beck Group, I was more
concerned with Beck's guitar
playing than anything else, It
wasn't long though until I noticed
that the lead singer in the group
had a voice that wasn'l prelly
but it still had more feeling than
any pretty voice I'd ever heard,
Searching for the name of that
voice. I scanned the album cover
and found Ute name Rod
Stewart.
Following the moderate
success of Truth. the Jeff Beck
Group put out a second album,
Beck..Qla. on which Stewart's
voice was not as pronounced, but
his style fortunately remained.
Stewart's voice complemented
the recklessguitar style of Beck,
and in the same sense, Beck's
guitar lent to Stewart's
improvisabonal lyrics. Tensions
arose between Beck and Stewart
and the group split leaving
Stewart open to record his first
solo album, The Rod Stewart
Album. The name or Rod
Stewart was still unfamiliar to
many and Gasoline Alley had the
same amount of success as had
the first album - practically
none,
Stewart then latched onto the
Small Paces. now just the Faces.
and they released the fine album
First Step. The Faces' music
seemed to suit Stewart well, and
his voice added the needed
ingredienllo their music. Again,
they was no surge to buy this
group's album but nonetheless
they released a second album
Long Player with Stewart
blasting out his heart as superbly
as ever.
On a third attempt at a solo
album, Stewart recorded Every
Picture Tells A Story, This
album is filled with the bluesy,
emotional songs that Stewart
does best. Stewart's larynx must
be connected to his soul, because
this man feels what he sings.
"Every Picture Tells a Story"
the album's Litle song tells of the
exploits of a young man as he
jaunts around Europe while
learning about life. The lyrics
are sometimes brutally poor,
"My body stunk/But I kept my
funk", but Stewart in singing
them makes them believable.
Rod Stewart has the special
Quality of being able to take the
simplest lyrics and make them
into a moving emotional
experience. One of the best
performances of the album is on
"That's All Right My Mama". a
rocking blues number with
Stewart rasping away in sheer
happiness, Silting atop the AM
radio charts is the familiar lady

The organization of the club is
made up of only students which

Practices and the overall

with junior vice-captain Tim
McEndy and Murphy make up
the permanent part of the
weekly selection committee
which chooses players for the
weekend games.
As Murphy pointed out. they
compete against their opponents

feature of the "rugby

extend the utmost in hospital ity

This can include the party

A True Tradition
Although the club is often
characterized by its loose
organization, non-mandatory
practices and most of all. its
socially oriented activities, it
stands as the oldest of club
sports and the largest sports
organization on campus.
This would definitely attest 10
the fact that the "rugby

Despite last week"s resounding
defeat in Philadelphia and more
tough competition ahead at West
Point on sunday, this year's
Rugby Club is part of a tradition
which has become a weekend
institution on OUf campus since
the sport's inception in 1963.
The sport itself is unique and
this year's club has its own
distinct features. Among the 65
playing members only eight are
seniors with juniors making up
the bulk of the young team,
which means plenty of
experienced ruggers for the next
few years.
Physically. this year's club is
relatively small but hopes are
that speed and hustle, long the
trademarks of Fairfield rugby,
will make up for lack of size.
An outstanding turnout of
freshmen has also served to
bolster the forces, according to
the club's president Gerry
"Bear" Murphy.
"Bear" Facts
Murphy is a Fairfield rugby
"first", being the first
underclassman to hold down the
oUice of president. Despite the
fact he shed a good 60 pounds
since last February. the likeable
leader of the Red Ruggers has
managed to retain the tag of the
"Bear".
For those uninitiated to the
Fairfield rugby scene. Murphy
points out, "the main purpose of
the club is to incorporate an
athletic event into a prolonged
social affair."
This goal is fulfilled each week
with a party after each contest.
The Bear was quick to add,
however. that the game is played
"strictly for keeps" and even

The Fairfield B's also lost. 143.
The B's problems were
similar to the A's as they made
too many mistakes, including
missing a 7 yard penalty kick.
The only fairfield score of the
day was on a penalty kick by
junior Vic Pino,
boot was just off to the right.
At half-time the Ruggers felt
that they could still come back,
but their hopes were dampened
when Villanova made a penalty
kick at the beginning of the half
to give them an 11-0 lead.
At this point Fairfield played
its best Rugby of the day, with
the backfield advancing the ball
well several times.
Whenever the Ruggers did
threaten to score however
Villanova caught the Ruggers
out of position and kicked out of
danger,
With twelve minutes left in the
game a Villanova forward
intercepted an errant Fairfield
pass and ran forty yards for the
final score of the game.
The remainder of the game

all of the set serums and the
great majority of the loose

Despite this, they did not show
the hustle which had
characteriled their pre-season
workouts and they had difficulty
on line-outs. Signals were
missed, and the Fairfield pad
had trouble protecting their
scrum~alf from the Villanova
forwards.
The supposedly good Red
Hugger backfield looked poor
against the Wildcats. They threw
bad passes, committed
knockons, and kicked badly.
The backfield will have to pull
itself together if the Red
Ruggers are to have any chance
at all against West Point.

have turned the game around. A
pass interception by defensive
halfback Fran Neary and a
blocked punt were both wiped
out because of infractions.
The entire secondary provided
excellent pass coverage as
safety Ken Schrang and
linebacker Dennis Zambetti also
picked off errant passes. King's
quarterback Krakosky was able
to connect on only 4 of 13
attempts.
C&captains Tom Hildebrand

players performed well in the
Eastern game. It was just a

inexperience. One play in
