              Urges FFPR Separation
from Government
Fr. Mcinnes' fourth topic
deallh with media on campus.
He stated, "I think we need a
variety of media on campus."
Aiming his remarks at the
Fairfield Free Press and Review
Corporation, Fr. Mcinnes stated
however, "any good media
should be completely separate
from Student Government."
This year as in the past. the
Fairfield Free Press and Review
has been presented to the
Student Legislature by the
Sludent Government President
as a part of the executive budget.
Sees 50eial Activity as Lackiag
In an area relating to all
students. Mcinnes chose social
activities as his fifth discussion
point. He found, "a decline in the
number and quality of the social
activities on campus'· as
responsible for the weekend
escape by most students. He
suggested that not all 2400
students are attracted by the
social activities but he admitted
that the social aspect of the
University is part of education.

activities would not be effective
without student input in decision
making processes. Furthermore,
he stated thal students lose
ground in their railure lo
participate in University
processes.
Studeats Sltoold Aid Committee
President McInnes pointed to
essential student involvement in
the Presidential Search
Committee. He added that the
Search Committee is now trying
to determine a procedure to
attune itself to student body
opinion.
With regard to student
involvement on the
Subcommittee on Governance,
Fr. McInnes stated that the
search is. not yet over for a new
form of governance at the
University. He urged a
continuing search for a viable
means of governance on campus.
The oUlgoing Presidenl in
addition, proposed the concept of
a "priorities committee".
designed to set the direction of
Fairfield University for the next
4 or 5 yp.a~.
Voices Opiaions
Oa Student Affain
Fr. McInnes then proceeded to
express his views on six student­oriented
items.
First, he explained his stand
on the student activity fee. The
President remarked that two
years ago the Student
Government approached the
administration regarding a
mandatory activity fee.
However, the plan was rejected
on the grounds that the
mandatory fee would make the
University directly accountable
for all student activities. Fr.
Mclnnes added that the
University should only be the
collecting agent for the activity
fee.
eOQDei! "Limping"
Secondly. he admitted that
the "University Council is
limping a litlle." But. he
emphasized that the tripartite
Council is the only forum we
have in which to represenl
opinion from each segment of
the University. Fr. McInnes did­say
that the University Council
is "working as .....ell as can be
expected...
Thirdly, the Chief Executive 0{
the University directed his
remarks to the volunteer
programs on and of( campus. He
especially urged student
participation and concern in
volunteer programs outside the
University. Requests for student
volunteers come from diverse
areas outside the campus such as
mental retardation programs,
and a variety of rehabilitation
centers. He added that the
strength of the studenl body is
reflected in its inlerest in
volunteer work.

Responding to an invitation
from Student Legislature
President Richard Canel,
University President Rev.
William C. Mcinnes, S.J ..
addressed the Student
Legislature at its regular
meeting, Tuesday. October 24.
Fr. Melnnes spoke for forty­five
minutes and responded to
questions upon completion of his
speech.
Praises Proeedure
Prefacing his remarks. Fr.
Melnnes praised the Legislature
for its impressive activity and
debate during the meeting.
Moreover, he noted that the
articulate tw!>sided debate
served as an indication that the
Legislature is not a monolithic
structure expressing only one
viewpoint.
The President then stressed
the need for student
participation in all University
functions and activities. He
indicated all University
concerts. However. the plan
stipulates that the Government
may release the funds only if
collection of the optional student
activities fee exceeds the
present $35.500 figure by at least
13.500.
In arguing for resloration of
the music program, Mr. Heath
stated that .with sufficient funds
he could arrange to present a
spring series of solo. jan,
choral, and dancing concerts. He
pointed out that last year's
Evenings of Music Dro~ram had
received $2.000 from the
Government and $1.500 in box
office reci!ipts.
antenna. and new studio
equipment. Additional funds to
maintain the presenl carrier
current system will derive from
advertising sponsors. which the
station hopes to attract.
Should the "frequency search"
for a place on the FM dial prove
unsuccessful, Mr. Hiriak
commented, the station will
resubmit a new budget for $8.000
to the Legislature. Fund
obtained would be utilized to
improve and possibly expand
current operations.
Plaas sa.deat RefereDdam
The station eventually plans
to conduct a student referendum
on the question of a five-dollar
"radio fee", which the
administration would collect as
part of the tuition bill. The
University of Bridgeport and
olher schools with operating Fl.t·
stations have instituted similar
plans that guarantee an annual
operating income.
As reported two weeks ago in
the Uaiversity Voice, the
Fairfield Free Press aad Review
has petitioned the Government
an allocation of $7,000, $4,000 less
than the original request for
$11.000. It was expected that
Legislature action on the Free
Press contract would be taken at
the regular meeting held
Monday. October 30.
Heath Asks Music Funds
In another development
related to the current fiscal
squeeze Andrew Heath.
chairman of the Music
Department. appeared before
the Legislature to argue in
behalf of a bill aimed at
restoring funds for the
suspended Evenings of Music
program.
The bill. which the Legislature
passed without opposition,

Free Press Takes Back Seat
As VOF Nets $8,,000 for FM
Vol. 3, No.9
MciNNES MEETS THE LEGISLATURE - University President
Rev. William C. McInnes. S.J., is shown as he addressed the
Student Legislature last Tuesday. Fr. Mcinnes touched upon the
activities fee controversy, the work of the Presidential Search
Committee. and the status of the Fairfield Free Press aad Review
in his talk.
In a significant turnabout from
previous years the Student
Legislature has appropriated a
greater percentage of Student
Government funds to tbe school
radio station than to the student
newspaper.
As a consequence of last
Tuesday's regular Legislature
meeting radio station WVOF has
succeeded in its bid to obtain an
appropriation of $8,000. most of
which is earmarked for the
purchase of RM equipment
should Federal Communications
Commission approval of an FM
license be forthcoming.
Free Press Ash $1,.
The Fairfield Free Press
aDd Review, the student­financed
newspaper which has
not published since September
71. has asked for a total
appropriation of only $7.000.
Even lhis figure is deci!iving,
however, since nearly $3.000 of
the total allounent is needed to
repay debts incurred last year.
The apparent preference given
to the radio station seems to be
an indication of general student
approval of an on campus FM
radio station as well as a
reflection of growing discontent
with the Free Press and its
policies. Within recent weeks a
number of legislators have
become more vocal in their
criticism of the sludent
publication. They have hit hard
especially at what they term the
paper's inability to handle funds.
Mouey for FM Equipmtllt
Following the Legislature
vote WVOF station manager
Stan Hiriak explained that it will
be at least a week before the
FCC determines whether or not
there is a specific frequency
open in this area.
If the Commission grants an
FM license, he stated, most, if
not all, of the $8,000 will be used
to purchase an FM transmitter,

To Speak
Tonight
Problems of sculpture and the
realationship of problems of art
and life will be aired in an
informal gallery talk by noted
sculptor Barhara Lekberg
tonight at 8 p.m. in the Campus
Center mezzanine.
Miss Lekberg. whose one-man
sculpture exhibition opened at
the Campus Center on October 22
and will run through November
5. will discuss welded sculpture
techniques and the origin of
ideas for the 24 pieces in her
exhibition as well as answer
questions from the audience.
The exhibition. sponsored by
the Carlson Foundation of
Bridgeport. is open daily in the
Campus Center Oak Room from
1- 4 p.m. All works in the exhibit
are for sale.
The sculptor is the winner of
two Guggenheim Fellowships. a
National Institute of Arts and
Letters Grant. and holds degrees
in Fine Arts from the University
of Iowa. A resident of
Mamaroneck. N.Y.. she has
served as a visiting lecturer on
sculpture at various colleges and
universities, museums and other
institutions.
all felt that the sense of the
article was correct.
One teacher stated: "I don't
agree with everything that was
said. You can't make an absolute
statement that it's impossible to
get more than ten out of a class
into med school." Dr. Donald
Ross, pre-med advisor,
mentioned that last year thirteen
went on to medical school; and
that the number of students
going to med school from 1960 to
1966 were 16, 13. 13. 14.22, and 10.
Dr. Ross also stated that 3.0. not
the mentioned 3.:i is necessary
for acceptance into medical
school.
Expressing his thoughts on the
editorial as a whole. however.
Dr. Ross said: "For some
strange reason. it is believed
that if you can place twenty pre­meds
from an incoming
population of sixty. then it is
obviously easy to place forty pre­meds
from an incoming
population of 120 students. This
mathematics simply does not
stand up. Moreover. the larger
number of students are seriously
hampering the quality of
scientific preparation we have
been able to provide in the past.
The teachers. because of
increased loads, simply do not
have the time to give the
individual assistance to students
that they would like to give."
Most Support MacDonald's Argument
Pre-Moos Respond
To Voice Editorial
By Daria BarbaDO
Two weeks ago the Volet
published an editorial by Dr.
John MacDonald of the
Chemistry Department
,concerning the situation in the
pre-med program at Fairfield
University. The editorial. which,
among other things, criticized
lbe large class and laboratory
sizes and commented on the
number of pre-moo majors who
would never reach their goal,
evoked some interesting
reacLions from students and
faculty involved in the program.
Editorial Hits liard
Perhaps the greatest diversity
in reaction to the article came
from the class of 76. Joe
Zahornacki said he was
"shocked" and "wondered why I
hadn't been told in a more
official manner." Jo-Ann Eccher
mailed the editorial home and
mentioned that it was
"depressing to read it after mid­terms...
Most of the freshmen
interviewed agreed that the
teachers were "generous in
giving time;" but as Jack
Greene said. "We were under
the impression that the teacher­student
ratio was a lot smaller."
Two students said that had they
been aware of this situation. it
might have ,changed their
decision to enter the pre-med
program. Although one girl felt
she was "working in vain." and
another said that Fairfield
should "improve its langauge
department because it looks as if
we'll all be trying to get into med
schools overseas. the majority
"have no intention of giving up."
CrilicaJ of Figures
A number of interesting
observations were made by
upperclassmen. One junior noted
inaccuracies in th~figures given
for those students able to go on
to medical school. He also
questioned the necessity of
gaining a 3.5 average and said
that "individual recom­mendations
were totally ignored.
People with 4.0·s are having
trouble because they're not well­rounded."
Another junior felt
that "there should be a review of
the whole program because
there is too much competition..,
A senior commented: "It·s time
for the University to either
expand the biology and
chemistry departments so that
students can be given more
individual attention, or to cut
down the number of biology
majors it's allowing in. "A
sophomore felt that due to the
rigid competition,l pre-med
students "put too much
emphasis on grades." and this
attitude was conducive to
cheatinj:t.

Of the faculty interviewed,

estimates but retaining the mid­term
exams. The reason for this
beHef. said one faculty member,
is "that a grade from a mid­semester
exam, which has
covered the work of the
semester would be sufficiently
indicative of the amount of work
accomplished in the course,
without the unnecessary
formality of mid-term grades."
In general, they also agreed
that it is "important for all
faculty members to have at least
three grades on which to base a
final mark. and that the
existence of mid-terms insures
at least two grades."
Estimale Reform
The interviewed faculty
members. for the most part,
aired their suggestions for the
necessary reform of the present
system.
Some proposed a system of
"oral estimates" whereby the
student would discuss progress
made in the course. individually
with the professor. Though
possibly effective. some
criticized this system as one that
"could turn out to be highly
impractical and time
consuming." Others said that if
there was more basis for a fair
grade through the scheduling of
regular tests and quizzes. the
estimates would become more
usefuL
Growing Apatby
It seems apparent that both
faculty and students are very
much in accord in their opinions
of estimates, and both groups.
in general appear to be
somewhat apathetlc toward
them. Therefore. it looks like

unexpected grades.
not give a formal mid-term
examination, but base their
grades on the marks attained by
the student throughout the first
half of the semester. However,
this system is not employed by
the majority of the faculty
members.
Another faculty member. who
wished to remain anonymous.
stated that they are useful only
for first semester freshmen. The
reasons for this, he explained, is
that "the freshmen are going
through a great transition in
their lives. and have a great need
to know where they stand.
Without these estimates. they
would be lacking the necessary
encourpgemenl to do better or
retain their estimate grade."
. Many said that they oppose
estimates because of their
apparent lack of importance on
the part of the students, that is.
that the students do not consider
estimates to be of any value. and
therefore they are not serving
the purpose for which they were
originally instituted.
On the other hand, many said
Ihat estimates are of great use
because they give the students
incentive to .....ork harder, and
offer them an indication of "how
efficiently their work is being
done." "It would be dangerous to
cut out estimates." said one.
Others. however. claimed that
they only give mid-term exams
because they are compelled to.
while a few remained indiHerent
to the whole system, because "at
least one test is going to be given
during the semester. so why
shouldn't it become a mid-term
grade...

In an attempt to show some
general concensus concerning
the usefulness and validity of
midterm grades. a set of student
reactil)ns were collected and
published in the last issue as the
first of a two part article. This,
the second part. will deal with
faculty reactions, which,
surprisingly enough coincide to a
laI1l"e degree with those of the
students.
The faculty reaction seems

most of the Jesuits intervie.....ed

aspect of the system of mid-term

faculty .....ere totally opposed to
the system. Reasons for this
split are not apparent, nor were
they explained by members of
the faculty.
Validity of Estimates
For the most part. the faculty
agreed that estimates, if
properly executed, could be a
great asset to the students.
However. under the present
system. the estimates seem "te
have no meaning for either
faculty or students. and seem to
be a waste of University time
and money." Thus. from the
opinions of both students and
faculty, one can form the opinion
that mid-term grades have little
value. and are not being taken as
seriously as they were originally
intended.

Department said that "because
the first semester is so compact.
the necessity of a mid-term
exam does not go well with the

community health facilities,"
she observes.
Approximately 70 per cent of
today's nurses graduated from
three-year programs, while the
trend is beginning to shift in
favor of the four-year degree
granting programs like the one
at Fairfield, Mrs. Dolan
·explains.
She emphasizes that "today's"
rising health care need,;, coupled
with skyrocketing costs, make it
imperative for nurses to be
trained outside as well as inside
the hospital.
"The numbers alone make it
very clear that we must begin
providing health care outside of
the hospital." Mrs. Dolan says.
Fairfield's entire program is
geared toward providing
students with a variety of
academic and clerical
experiences, not limited solely to
those directly related with skills
needed to work in a hospital.
The academic curriculum. for
instance, includes diverse course
offerin~s in the social sciences,
humanities and religious studies
as well as the physical sciences_
"We're more concerned right
now about developing intelligent
human beings who can
effectively make decisions in
different situations tban with
developing highly skilled
tectmicians," explains Mrs.
Dolan.
Consistent with that
philosophy, the nursing students
are sent out regularly to
"explore the interaction between
man and environment. and of
factors affecting health and
health care."

Traditionally, nursing schools
in America have placed major
emphasis on hospital care
training, while the areas of
health maintenance and health
prevention have received
somewhat less attention.
Through increased extensive
involvement in community
health programs. in addition to
hospital training, students at
Fairfield University's School of
Nursing are gelling a more
balanced program, according to
Elizabeth K. Dolan. R.N.. dean
of the school.
This year eacb of !be school's
66 sophomore and junior nursing
students spent from eight to nine
hours weekly worting in a
variety of clinical facilities.
Students go out into the
community to attend classes for
expecting parents. prenatal
clinics, family planning clinics,
well-baby clinics. child-health
conferences. school health
conferences and make home
visits with public health nurses.
Hospital training is also
received at several area
hospitals_ including Stamford
Hospital and St. Joseph Hospital
in Stamford. and Greenwich
Hospital in Greenwich.
Mrs. Dolan contends that
community involvement has
generally been lacking in the
field of nursing. mostly because
the average nurse was trained in
the three-year diploma granting
nursing . schools operated by
hospitals.
"It is very difficult for nurses
trained in the highly structured
atmosphere of a hospital to move

Noted artist David S. Brown
will hold a one-man showing of
his paintings and drawings from
November 12 through December
IS in the Oak Room.
Mr. Brown. a native and
resident of Greenwich, studied
at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn
fonowing service with the U.S.
Air Force during the Korean
conflict.
An employee of the New York
Times, he also maintains a quiet
studio where he executes his
work.
He is noted for "painting big
pictures with strong
passionate comment on the
confrontations and tensions
between black and white: and
strong. tender sketches of Nancy
(his wife) and their children...
Of his subject matter, Mr.
Brown says that he simply paints
that which is closest to him. "If I
lived and worked in Greenwich
all the time, I'd probably paint
the water front."
The artist does not feel his
work is a conscious expression of
social protest, but rather an
inevitable expression of his
feelings as a black person in
contemporary society.
Jazz has also had a strong
impact on his life, especially the
rhythm and blues of Miles Davis,
Ray Charles and Aretha
Franklin, and he wanted to catch
its movement and richness. This
interest led him to the drums,
and on occasion he has played
with Chaz Plus Two in the
Bridgeport area.
Of his paintings and drawings,
Mr. Brown says simply, "I don't
feel like a 'real' artist·· there is
so much to be done and just not
enough time."
He met his wife, Nancy, at the
Pratt Institute where she was a
fashion major. Today she is a
homemaker, motber. and active
in community and civic
activities in Greenwich.
The artist has exhibited at the
Studio Museum and the Market
Place Gallery in New York's
Harlem, and at Greenwich

Greenwich. Gallery of the

select a candidate for president, one of whom has
labelled this election "the choice of the century." If
Fairfield students find themselves spending the day
involved with tests and classes, and not with the
important electoral process. one can only wonder if the
overall gain of the day's class activities will adequately
match the importance of the political activities.
This year, Fairfield Faculty for McGovern and
student groups supporting both Presidential candidates
have been active on campus. In addition, students have
been working diligently for the election of various other
Congressional and local candidates. On the day when
"getting out the vote" is crucial, and the fruit of the
students' labors becomes manifest. where will they be?
Some may be unable to vote. because travel to their
homes will consume too much time from the Tuesday
schedule of classes.
We. the Editors. believe that Fairfield University has
an obligation to allow students,faculty, administrators,
office and maintenance personnel to participate
actively on Election Day. We fail to see how such
active sharing in the governmental process can occur if
'members of the community are torn between their
campus duties and their civic responsibility.
Education occurs in many areas, not least of which is
the balloting for officials to represent the people. By
the- next election. most of the present members of the
Fairfield student body will have left the University.
and the results of this election will have weighed
heavily upon their lives. The University must consider
tlie importance of the ramifications of this year's
elections.

The Film Society will present
an unknown but excellent film
called Moonrise. The movie was
directed by Frank Borzage and
stars Dane Clark. The. story
deals with young Danny
Hawkins, who has grown up in a
Southern town in which everyone
knows that Danny's father was
hanged for murder. Danny kills
one of his tormentors and hides
the body in a swamp, and then
has a love affair with his
victim's fiancee ... The results
are inevitably tragic. The criti"c
Andrew Sarvis has called this
film "Superb." It is a film no one
should miss.
It will be shown on Tuesday,

principle. Force never saves: it
only destroys.
What does this have to do with
the election? The following: this
administration has embraced
this principle of force. It has
used war, which is force, as a
tool for diplomatic advantage,
not as the last resort of self­defense
or justice. for that
reason alone 1 .believe that the
reasonable person and the
Christian person cannot support
its bid for another term in office.
The other evidences of
immorality in conducting this
campaign, of misuse of
presidential power for the
purpose of concealing the truth,
()f threats to the freedom of the
press and to personal privacy all
serve to confirm this initial
Jecision. This administration,
:Iespite its claim to be for peace
and to represent the American
heritage, is none-of these things.
The facts contradict its claims.
It is an administration built on
power and wealth and
expediency. If it is true that
morality begins when one goes
beyond the simply expedient and
self-serving act, then this
administration has not yet
begun. Senator McGovern, on
the other hand, has been
consistent in his opposition to
war and its use of force for a
decade. He is shocked by the
discoveries of the present
administration's campaign
activities and tells us that he
knows of no comparable scandal
in his political lifetime. He is a
decent man asking us to give him
a chance. Why shouldn't we? Our
choice is between the known evil
and the partially - tried good.
For reasonable people, for
Christians, that is really no
choice at all.

morally, physically and
financially. Now since war is the
admission that reason has failed
and that force, the law of the
jungle, must be used, it is always
questionable for the man who
has moved beyond the jungle, the
man of reason. But how much
more so for the person who has
embraced the standards of the
Jesus who turned his cheek and
condemned the use of force! The
responsible man and the
Christian man must always
question war, especially in our
small world of today.
What allowed us, then. as
reasonable and Christian people,
to support this war? Was it a war
of self-defense? If it had been
such, we could have supported it.
But it wasn't. If it had been a
war in which we were defending
justice, even for others, against
total injustice, we could have
supported it. But that was not
the case. And even if that had
been the case, we would have
had to ask whether the good to
come out of the war outweighed
the human suffering involved in
its being waged. Again the
answer, even after a few years,
was evidently negative. Our
reason and our Christianity
failed. Or if we want to speak
more personally and religiously,
we sinned. We devastated a land
and its population with our
bombs. Some claim we have
destroyed the soul and culture of
the people as well _. not to
mention our own soul and
culture. We operated on the
principle that we could save by
destroying. The results ought to
bring home to us the wrongness,
the contradictory nature, of this

won't be easy. admits Mrs.
Dolan.
For one thing, she says many
students get uneasy when they
aren't picking up the technical
skills required of hospital nurses
as fast as they might desire.
II's difficult for the students to
recognize the value of a
philosophy course. for example,
when he or she is specifically
interested in learning the
mechanics of nursing.
One student says she wouldn't
give up any of the liberal arts
courses P.Jaced in her nursing
curriculum. "The different
courses help to gain a total
perspective of the people you
deal with in the hospital and in
the community," says Karen
Stoenkas, a junior who lives in
Bridgeport.
Karen is presently working
with a public health nurse in
Greenwich as well as putting in
hours at Greenwich Hospital.
One of the top students in her
class. Karen admits the clinical
work is a refreshing change of
pace from the rigorous full-time
academic load carried during
her first two years.
"It seemed as if we were miles
away from real nursing at times
during the freshman and
sophomore years, but this
experience is really terrific,"
she says.
Karen especially enjoys her
public health work in the
Greenwich community because,
she says. "it leaves you to your
own wits to figure out how to
handle a particular situation."
In addilion to teaching a
hygiene class in a local grammai
school, she makes several home
visits each week to provide
prenatal information to
expecting mothers.
Karen says she likes the
challenge of dealing with
individual problems which have
to be analyzed and followed
through. If she can 'I help out a

To the Editor:
I want to begin by commenting
on the1survey summarized in the
article "Alienation at Fairfield
University" (Voice, 10.12-72).
The commuters' apathy in
failing to hand in the
questionnaires on alientation is
itself a very significant vote,
perhaps much more important
than the survey itself. It seems
that something similar happened
last year in the voting on
tripartite: many students had to
be urged to vote. Il is customary
to refer to students who don't
vote as "apathetic" (Dr. Burch
did not).
This is unjust. When students
are "apathetic," what is really
happening is that they are not
interested in "our project". It is
easy for us to forget that
"apathetic students" are usually
very intensely committed to
something else, e.g., education.
But because we can't forgive
them for being uninterested in
our pet projects, we stigmatize
them with the condemnation ­apathetic.
This year most of my
students are apparently
"apathetic"; but I have not had
in the last five or ten years
students so intensely interested
in genuine, relevant learning.

To the Editor:
As the Catholic chaplain of this
University I feel that it is my
duty to speak out on behalf of the
presidential candidacy of
Senator George McGovern. Why
do I feel so? I feel so because I
believe that we who call
ourselves Christian and Catholic
must be concerned with the
world and the country in which
we live.
Our faith tells us that all men
and women. whether they realize
it or not, are living in a new age,
the age of Jesus, that we are all
new people and should live
accordingly. This means that we
should live in peace and justice
and love. But what such a life of
justice and peace and love
means depends on the
circumstances in which we live
and the events which call for a
response from us. The war in
Vietnam bas been such an event.

Band for
Exercise
And Fun
Until this fall, coeds at
""'airfield have had only those
gym privileges given for varsity
sports (such as basketball).
Now. through the founding of the
Modern Dance Club, a
significant breakthrough has
been made.
Founded by JUnior Mary
Mullen. and consisting of some
thirty girls. the club meets
Tuesday nights in the gym from
7:00 to 8:30.
"The idea of starting such a
club came up one night at the
supper table during Orientation.
Although it seemed complicated
at first. we found that it has
become one of the least
complicated clubs we could
have, Because we don't need any
equipment the way other clubs
do, all we needed was a place.
and we got that. There is even a
possibility now of the Club being
school-funded in the future."
Since the Club is not presently
funded by the University and the
lotal cost of having a teacher for
an eight-week period is $180,
each of the girls now pays $6.
The class itself is geared toward
beginners. and aims to provide
recreation and exercise. as
opposed to a formal program.
The Club seems to have
progressed well so far. but it is
uncertain what will happen when
the eight·week course is over.

As many students may realize,
it is dirficult and at times rather
frustrating to be a member of a
minority group on campus. No
doubt many of you will fecall the
words of an old song which
warned: "Belore you accuse,
criticize, and aoo.walk a mi~
in my sboes." Accordingly, J
intend to place you in the shoes of
a member or a real minority
group at Fairfield· a typical day
in the life of a coilege student
who is also a member at The
John Birch Society.
'Ik ..EvU Eye"
Perhaps the most common
reaction a Bircher can encounter
on campus is the strange
phenomenon which I call the
"evil eye." The "evil eye" orten
appears as a unique stare from
students as one proceeds to and
from class. In some cases this
glare may become more
pronounced if you carry an al·
tache case covered with "Read
None Oare Call It Conspiracy"
bumper stickers. After a while
the victim of the "evil eye"
begins to think that he may be a
carrier of the bubonic plague.
Occasionally, a student may stop
and talk to you - just to see if you
really are one of "them."

Southwestern Junior College in
Oklahoma City in the spring
while neither competing
intercollegiately nor practicing
at either school. Rodgers has
since returned to the Fairfield
Univ. community this fall.
The point of inquiry dealt with
the one exception to the ECAC
transfer rule which allows a
player immediate eligibility if
and when he transfers back to
the original school he enrolled in
from the second school he
attended. provided that he has
not participated in any way with
the team of the s"COnd school.
The main problem thus
centered upon the third
institution, Southwestern Junior
College, and whether or not this
institution or Rodgers violated
any of the ECAC rules. The
Committee, after a lengthy
discussion with Rodgers and
Cook, decided that the transfer
to Southwestern was nol a factor
influencing the exception to the
ECAC transfer rule.

I think seU-discipline has carried
over into other parts of my life,
especially studying. If you can
get yourself to run ten miles a
day, then you can surely get
yoorself to study.

problems while you 're running int

Gene - "Sometimes people try
to hit you with their cars and I
remember having a big dog start
jumping around me. "
Bob - "Speaking of dogs, I had
one of my best meets when a
dog jumped into the pack of
runners I was running with. I
took off and they never caught up
with me."
VOICE - What's the best way
for someone to start running on
his own?
Bob - "Start with about a mile
a day then keep steadily
increasing the distance. I think
the night is the best time to run."
GeDe - "Once you start you
have to stay with it on a regular
schedule and then you can't let
yourself get out of shape. I
prefer running in the morning.

To Play Or Not?
By TOllY Mb:cus
In what could be one of the most controversial issues ever
brought up in Hudson Valley Division of the ECAC Club Football
Conference. the game against Marist last Saturday was cancelled
an hour and one-half after it was sUpposed to have begun.
Although a torrential downpour had wreaked havoc with the
Marist field, it was still playable and both teams were suited up and
rarin' to go. A good-sized homecoming crowd, despite the rain,
anxiously awaited the opening kickoff.
Referees Missing
The reason for the cancellation resulted from an absence of
referees travelling from Westchester. who had' been contacted by
the Marist Club and who had written back a letter of agreement.
The Marist Club sbggested moving the game to another field in an
attempt to induce the referees. who were in the process of doing a
game. to referee the Fairfidld - Marist contest. Another rather
infeasible possibility was to have the Stags spend the night at
Marist and to play the game the next day. The only sensible
alternate. which was open. was to take the. two-hour bus ride back
to Fairfield. which the team finally did.
Forfeit WiD?
Technically speaking. The Stag Football Team ~hould have a
forfeit win. But as Coach Tris Carta commented. "I don't want a
forfeit win·· a win shouldn't be decided on paper but on the field."
Carta added that his staff had done a good job of scouting Marist
and were ready for them. A few strategic surprises, both
offensively and defenSively' had been worked into the game plan in
order to upset the powerfu Marlst team.
The controversy arises in the league standings. Marist at 5-0 is
being trailed by Westchester and lona who have an equal number of
wins but are one down in the lost column. Marist had previously
defeated Westchester and has yet to meetlona.
&th teams pbviously would want Maristto lose by forfeit. but it
is expected that ECAC Football Club Commissioner kennedy would
wait to see what happens. If Westchester and lona lose another and
if Marist finishes unbeaten. Marist would probably concede a loss
to Fairfield rather than have to Iravel down here after the season
officially ends.
However. if the game against Fairfield affects the final league
standings, it will most likely be replayed. and on November 18 at
Fairfield. The situation will be investigated. and it was believed. at
the printing deadline for this article. that the referees travelling
from Westchester were involved in a car accident.
Univ. of New HaveD· Next Opponent
saturday at two o'clock the Stags travel to play the University of
New Haven Chargers. Coach Joe McHugh's squad topped Fairfield
lasi. year by a I&-6 score. This season. led by tri-captains Ray
DellaMara at quarterback and John Befus and Tom Alexander at
linebaokers. the Chargers have only one win and have suffered two
of t,heir defeats against Marist and Westchester.
