English Department proposed
that the faculty withdraw aU
participation in the matter and
that the faculty should have the
right to veto any new President
who does not comply with
faculty standards. Dr. Michael
McDonnell. also of the English
Department countered with the
statement that if the faculty
acted in this manner. they
appear as ludicrous as Student
Government President Steven
Medrick had been last year when
he suspended the faculty.
Walter Petry agreed with Dr.
O'Connor and further suggested
that the old five man committee
approach the Board of Trustees
and determine a definite
procedure for faculty
participation. Dr. Arthur
Anderson also endorsed Dr.
O'Connor's proposals and said
that they should be passed not to
make the faculty look arrogant.
but to show that they are to be
taken seriously. Nevertheless
both proposals offered by Dr.
O'Connor were defeated.

Radio Vote

Support
A ~ferendum conducted by
radio station WVOF and held
Monday, November 6 has
indicated that a large majority
of students favor the station's
proposed expansion to FM
braodcasting.
The proposaIlhat a mandatory
five dollar fee be collected by the
administration from each
~tudent to insure a yearly
Income was approved by a vote
of 822 to 130.
Stan Hiriak, WVOF station
manager, slate<! that VOF
personnel must now submit the
FM proposal to the Board of
Trustees when it meets this
Friday. Trustee approval is
needed to apply for a
construction permit from the
Federal Communications
Commission_
Mr. Hiriak hopes that
construction of F'M facilities in
the Regis studio will begin early
next semester. Then the station
will submit a formal application
for the FCC license.
He explained that
broadcasting could commence in
April of 1973 at the earliest
should FCC approval of the
license be forthcoming.
However, the station has made
contingent plans for FM
operation to begin next
September.
Expressing considerable
dissatisfaction with the
framework established by the
Board of Trustees for selecting a
new President, the faculty spent
more than an hour at its general
meeting last Wednesday
debating the merits of faculty
involvement in the search
p,-oce,s.
Committee Rrports PrOiress
After minor ooints. such as the
postponement of action
concerning mid-term estimates,
the members of the special
faculty search committee ",-ere
called forward to present a
report. (See related story on this
page.) Dr. Theodore Combs,
chairman of the committee
traced through past meetings
with Rev. James McGinley, S.
J.. chairman of the Trustee
search Committee and stressed
that the faculty wishes to be
involved in all steps of the
selection process. He further
clarified that the faculty would
send one representative plus two
advisors to sit on the new seven
member committee which will
assist the Trustees.
Dr. Combs also maintained
that the present Trustee bylaws
do not specirically rule out the
possibility of a non·Jesuit
President but that the Trustees
are presently in the process of
approving a new rule which will
restrict the University
Presidency to a member of the
Society of Jesus.
Names of candidates
submitted by the faculty have
already been forwarded to the
Search Committee, he further
stated. but the faculty must be
quick in choosing their
representatives to assist the
Search Committee.
McGratll Dt...les Combs
Rev. Thomas McGrath, S.J"
also a member of the Faculty
Search Committee, slated that
Dr. Combs' tone and language
exaggerated the situation and
that the selection of a new
President should not be purely
democratic. He pointed out that
the one faculty representative
together with the rest of the
committee will simply examine
the overall chracter of the
candidates. and should not be
perceived as a representative
group as such.
Or. Alexander Tolor, a third
member of the committee saKi
that the issues revolve around
the degree to which the faculty
has been allowed to participate
in the decision-making process.
Although be termed the
workings of the Search
Committee as fair, he felt that
faculty members had not been
involved sufficiently in the
selection process.

of the Society of Jesus. Fr.
McGinley has stated that the
bylaws of the Tnastees require
the President to be both a priest
and a Jesuit. However, a numbe-r
of faculty members have
expressed concern that this
limitation may be
discriminatory and in violation
of state law.
"Because of expressed faculty
concern regarding whether or
not the search should be limited
to a qualified Jesuit." reads the
faculty committee report, "the
committee feels that it is of
great importance to establish
the legality of this limiting
condition. This attempt to obtain
clarification on this matter is not
based solely on theoretical
concerns, but is related to
practical considerations such as
federal and state financial
support, possible conflict with
civil rights legislation,

Although the qualifications
listed in the report contain no
real surprises, there does seem
to be a heavier than usual
emphasis on the scholarly
background of the candidates.
Faculty members here have
traditionally npressed a
distaste for administrative
participation in University
governance and stressed the
desirability of the "educator •
administrator" who combines
administrative experience with
a firm commitment to and
backgound in traditional
scholarship.

In a statement issued by the
Search Committee Rev. James
J. McGinley, S.J., Chairman of
the Committee, reported that
much of the Committee's
November 3 meeting was
devoted to consideration of the
faculty list of qualities to be
sought in the next President. In
addition, he said, the names of
those Jesuits submitted by the
faculty as possible successors to
Fr. McInnes were added to the

Teachers List Favorites
In Presidential Stakes
By Robert ByrD
In an effort to publicize faculty
opinions as to the qualifications
and personality traits desirable
in a successor to Fr. McInnes the
five-member faculty committee
advisory to the Trustee Search
Committee has released a report
outlining those qualities which
the general faculty feels should
be found in prospective
Presidential candidates.
The results of the report were
tabulated from answers supplied
on a formal questionnaire which
all teachers received. Moreover,
the report include<! a list of tbose
names of potential candidates
which have been submitted by
members of the faculty.
"Core" Reqllieme.t.
"E.selltial"
According to the members of
the faculty committee the
desired qualifications were
compiled and then divided into
"core" and secondary qualities.
The former the report defines as
"requirements which are
deemed to be absolutely
essential for the position of
President of Fairfield
University." A secondary
quality is described as one that is
"highly desirable but not
absolutely essential."
Listed as "core" requirements
were:
(1) ..A secondary commitment
with evidence of personal
scholarship. " This would include
possession of a doctoral degree
and some experience in having
published original scholarly
material.
(2) Experience in the field of
teaching:
(3) Past administrative work
and proven success in this area:
(4) A view which recognizes
intemal University affairs as
having a priority over outside
community Interests:
(5) A personal philosophy in
accord with the elements of the

the communist spirit in politics
can be seen in· the contrast
between Lincoln and Lenin. Both
were men of integrity (sic!) who
served causes that could claim
high moral sanction.
By some strange coincidence,
John Bennett and Reinhold
Niebuhr were also members and
Influential leaders of the Federal
Council of Churches-an
organization which was
described in a report by the
Office of Naval Intelligence in
1935 as one of several
organizations which "give aid
and comfort to the Communist
Party...
Basically, what Communists
like Harry Ward sougbt to do
was to use the Union Theological
seminary to produce Marxist
ministers. They sought to
pervert Christianity and use it as
the vital key toward the victory
of world Communism. The best
description of this technique was
given by Joseph lack Kornfeder,
one of the founders of the U.S.
Communist Party. According to
Kornfeder:
The technique doesn't combat
or openly challenge the
spiritualism of the church or the
concept of the fatherhood of God.
It does DOt challenge it. It even.
when decessary. pays lip service
to it. but to concentrate on the
so-eal1ed social problems, all the
problems that naturally could be
exploited to create social strife
between classes. races,
competing church groups. and so
on.
Now of course the question
arises as to why a Jesuit Catholic
priest would want to spend three
years in a seminary with such a
dubious background. Perhaps he
did not know the infamous
history of the seminary. Or
perhaps the Jesuits wanted him
to attend and perhaps other
Jesuits are there right now. If
some of you are thinking that I
am accusing or even suggesting
that our chaplain is a Marxist.
you are quite wrong. I simply do
not know-only our new chaplain
and God would know the answer
to that question. I do know,
however, that something is awry
when Jesuits are attending an
institution like the Union
Theological seminary.

part 6, page 2140.), provided the
framework in which ministers of
the gospel would become
ministers of Marx.
Today, of course, Dr. Niebuhr
would be considered a profound
'thinker. Some would even call
him a philosopher. Here is a
sample of his philosophy.
The attachment of radical
Christianity to Marrian
viewpoints. even though on
occasion unqualified, represents
a gain in religious as well as
moral (emphasis mine) realism.
(Reinhold Niebuhr, An
Interpretation of Christian'
Ethics (New York. Harper &
Bros.. 1935), p. 17.)
Then there was the following
profound observation by Dr.
John C. Bennett· a former
president of the Union
Theological seminary:

Christian spirit in politics and

assistance and information as to
job opportunities. They hope to
expand the program to include

On the subject of drugs, Phil
and Carol expressed concern that
students realize that the Univer·
sity cannot sanction the use of
drugs. The RA's have been urged
to confront the use of drugs by
students on their floors. and not
to walk away from violations.
Phil and Carol made it clear that
RA's confronting the use of drugs
are oot acting as policemen, but
as people concerned with the
welfare of all tbe students.
Carol is orginally from Trumbull,
Connecticut. She completed
her undergraduate studies at the
University of Bridgeport, where
she received her B.A. In Engllsh.
She received her M.A. in
Counsellor Education at Penn
State University. She indicated
that she would lUte to work in
college student personnel.
Phil was born in St. Louis and
attended Kenyon College, Gambier,
Ohio. There he received bis
B.A. in Biology. Now working for
his M.A. in Counselling here at
Fairfield, Phil would like to work
as a counsellor on the college
level.
Many students may recall the
debate which ensued last year
concerning the Catholic
commitment of Fairfield
University. In fact, the History
Department recently sponsored
a colloquium on this very topic.
Unfortunately, the members of
the colloquium failed to resolve
this crucial question. They also
overlooked the fact that in
addition to Fairfield's
abandonment of iLS Catholic
commitment last year (i.e. the
deletion of the "Catholic clause"
from all university contracLS).
Fairfield now finds itself with a
chaplain who has spent his past
three years in a doctoral
program in systematic theology
at the infamous Union
Theological Seminarian
institution which, to say the
least, has dedicated itself to the
eradication of orthodox
Catholicsm and to orthodox
Christianity in general.
Probably the most influential
professor in' the Union
Theological seminary was the
late Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr. Dr.

roles as advisors and counsellors
to the students. At the same time
they stressed that the RA's do
not maintain a police position.
Both Carol and Phil are optimistic
that the RA's are
becoming close to the students on
thei r floors, tuning in to the
needs of the students. Carol
stated, "The Resident Advisors
are not disciplinarians, but are
there in the donn to help", Yet
they pointed out that liVing with
other people requires selfdiscipline
and a consideration for
the olber people who live in the
dorm. If self-discipline breaks
down, then someone has to intervene.
It is the duty of the
Resident Advisors, to assure

how they affect the lives of

of eight residence halls. In effect,
Carol and Phil are responsible
for the welfare of all RA's and

"Our dired responsibility," said
Carol, "is the Staff of Resident

students who failed to gain
admission to medical school last
year.
The competition for places has
increased enormously during the
past ten years as borne out by
the following statistics. In 1962,
there were 15.857 applicants for
8,642 first-year places in U.S.
medical schools. a 1.8/1 ratio. In
1972, there were 35.000
applications for 12,900 places a
2.7/1 ratio. As you can see, the
pressure is coming from outside
of this department.
At the present time there are
87 established medical schools.
16 developing schools and 6 twoyear
medical schools in the U.S.
All but 36 of these have state
residency requirements.

The Biology Department has
always maintained high, but not
impossible, standards.
Admittedly. the students here
are under some pressure. Only in
this way can the student realize
his own abilities and
deficiencies, thus enabling him
to better cope with the real
wo"fld upon graduation.
As the number of incoming
freshmen have increased. the
department has been increasing
the number of faculty to
accommodate them. While it is
true that the size of the lecture
sections have increased, we have
increased the number of
laboratory sections so as to
maintain small sections and a
close student-professor
realtionship as we have enjoyed
in the past. Our professors are
available from 9 to 5 daily and
are available during these times
for individual conference with
the students. In addition. the
professors are often in their
offices or research laboratories
evenings and weekends and are
available to a student with a
pressing problem.
Today, all biology
departments are faced with the
medical school placement
problem. This is due to many
factors. To enumerate a few. (II

To the Editor:
We. the executive board of
AED pre-medical honor society,
are greatly disturbed at the
recent trend at Fairfield
University. which shows a
radical increase in the number of
pre-med majors over the last
four years. It is our estimation
that no more than fifteen
students each year will be able to
~et into medical school from
Fairfield University. Contrary to
what has been published. a 3.25
average is necessary to get into
a medical school. This must be
accompanied by very good
MCAT scores. However. if there
are 30 students over 3.25. then
only those with the highest
averages and the best boards
will be able to get into medical
school. From the class of 172,
only 7 students were accepted
into medical school, not 13 as
published in the Voice on
November 2. 1972.
In 1967, there were 18,724
students applying for 9473 seats.
In 1972. there were 35,000
students applying for 12.900
seats. Therefore it is tough and
will get tougher to get into
medical school. On the basis of
these facts, we, the executive
board of the pre-medical honor
society, ask that students and
faculty together demand that no
more than 50-60 students be
allowed into the biology
department at Fairfield
University.
Failure to do so will result in
large-scale disappointment and
hurt when students with 3.25
averages find they can't get into
medical school because there
are too many people in he
program here at Fairfield who
are above them.

To the Editor:
As a result of a recent editorial
that appeared in the University
paper "The Voice" much
confusion has resulted. While the
basic tone of Dr. MacDonald's
editorial is correct. I must take
issue with a couple of his figures.
Also. there are other factors.

You may have noticed the paucity of news and
commentary articles in last week's University Voice
and wondered why Fairfield cannot publish an eight,
twelve, or even sixteen page weekly newspaper like
many other universities. The explanation is two fold,
and though it may not placate the Voice's perenniel
critics (especially among the Faculty) at least it may
provide a better understanding of the problems facing
the editors when they attempt to put an issue together
each week.
Like all organizations and departments at this
University. the Voice faces a tight and inflexible
budget. which permits us to do only so much and no
more. If we do not have the money to publish an eight
page weekly issue, then there is little we can do other
than attempt to increase revenues through advertising
and sllbscriptions. This we have done with some degree
of success so that by the end of the first semester we
may have collected sufficient funds to publish a
minimum of 14 eight-page weekly issues during the
second semester.
It is the second problem. though. which is the more
serious of the two. Without support and contributions in
the form of columns. news articles, announcements,
and letters from the administration. faculty -and
student body, the University Voice will neither grow
nor be permitted to expand its scope to include areas
which the editors would like but are unable to cover.
This is not to say, however. that the editors will print
whatever they receive. The Voice does not fear
controversy, but it does reject poor grammar, lack of
style. and false arguments. We are selective in what we
print and proud of our selectivity. A newspaper which
rejects even minimal journalistic standards must
necessarily be an inferior publication.
What appears in the pages of the University Voice
then is a reflection not so much of what the editors do
or do not do. though we readily admit our mistakes. but
of your failure or willingness to go beyond your own
private worlds and recognize the worth of an
organization which attempts to serve and inform the
entire University. If you were critical of last week's
four page issue. perhaps you should be more critical of
yourself. Robert Byrn
All Talk and
No Action
When Fr. McInnes announced his resignation as
University President in August, it was left to the Board
of Trustees to devise a procedure whereby his
successor could be chosen. Now that the Board has
established a Trustee Search Committee to
recommend candidates and Fr. McGinley, the
Committee's chairman, has called for the creation of a
seven-member committee to assist the Trustees and to
be composed of an administrator, one parent. an
alumnus. a Jesuit, one staff member, a student, and a
faculty member, there is a real danger that the latter
two groups may fail to appoint representatives.
Apparently the Student Government is so upset with
the method of selection that it refuses to cooperate
with the search Committee in any manner until
students are granted voting privileges on the
Committee itself. Likewise the faculty has balked in
appointing its representative on the grounds that
teachers deserve more of a voice in the selection of the
President than, for example. a parent or an alumnus.
While both the faculty and student complaints have
some merit, their magnitude is hardly sufficient to
warrant the protest and stalling tactics being
employed. In fact. by having become embroiled in
relatively trivial procedural controversies both the
faculty and student body seem to have lost sight of the
larger. more important task facing them - supplying
information and presenting opinions of prospective
candidates to the members of the Search Committee.
In actuality whether or not the students and faculty
have a vote when it comes to the final ballot will be of
little or no consequence. The next President of
Fairfield will be chosen not in an anti-climactic closed
meeting of the Board of Trustees, but in the ongoing
processes 'of interviewing. screening, and reviewing of
qualifications - tasks which await the faculty and
students if only they will accept them.
The students and faculty may have been
shortchanged in being denied fuller participation in the
selection process. But to ignore the opportunities for
involvement now open to them would be f.oolish and
shortsighted. More often than not a voice is more
powerful than a vote. Robert Byrn

both referees, of which Marzolla

even physically abused by the

Looking ahead to next year,
Fairfield's fine defensive
fullback line will lose only Joe
Goodhouse through graduation
as Doug Geyer, Mike
Cavanaugh. and Dave Wright are
all freshmen. Only two others,
co-eaptains Jim Christino and
Dave Brannick, are graduating
so that next year will find
Fairfield a team of competitive
veterans.
A preview of next season will
be seen this coming March as

highlighted by a number of outstanding
personal performances.
One such performance was that
of co-eaptain Gene Mulvaney,
who set a new school record for
the Stag's home course. Gene
covered the five-mile course in
27:24 breaking the old school
record of %1:40.
1be reasons for the team's
unsuccessful season were both
injuries and a general lack of
school interest in Cross-country.
By the end of the season three of
the seven men who started the
season were overcome by injuries.
Teammates Joe Stanley,
John Martin, and Joe Von Ehr
were all plagUed by injuries
whidJ prevented them frem running
in the fmal meets of the
season.
A Problem of DetUeatio.
Every team suffers injuries
which are a disadvantage to
them but when the team starts
out with a minimum number of
players, injuries prove
"disasterous". Cross-country,
probably the purest form of
sport, requires a great deal of
energy, endurance, and ambition.
Unlike other sports, one must
gel his encouragement almost
totally from himself. There are
rarely cheering crowds at Crosscountry
meets. In Cross·country,
more than any other sport, the
athlete must rely upon his desire
to develop his ability to the
fullest of its' potential ratlter
than for the praise he may
receive for his accomplishments.

In looking bact over the season
it is obvious that Fairfield's
problem was in scoring goals.
Tim Kiely led all scorers with
three goals and one assist for a

The Fairfield Skaters will be
returning to home: ice tomorrow
night for a game with the
Redmen of St. Jotm's University
at 9: 15 in Bridgeport for the last
game before the Thanksgiving
.-ece".
The Stag Hockey Club has been
suffering all season on the
defensive eOO due to injuries.
Now. this problem has become
more acute due to a broken ankle
and shin bone fracture sustained
by assistant captain Jim Martin.
a sophomore defenseman.
Martin was injured in the last
few seconds of play last Sunday
afternoon in a game against the
Wesleyan Cardinals in
Middletown. Connecticut.
Martin was skating by center
ice when a blUing puck
51anuned full force into his right
ankle. At this time, it looks as
tbough Martin will be out of the
line-up for the rest of the season.
Coach McCarthy will be forced
to break up his high scoring
freshman line of Tom Cohan.
Dave Connors and Joe Flynn. in
order to put Connors into the
open defense position. Ed Jenny.
who has been off the Ice for the
past few weeks. due also to an
ankle injury. is expected to be
back at his defense slot shortly.
Lose To Wesleya.
Fairfield lost to Wesleyan by
a score of 6-2. Although the Stags
lost the non-league match, senior
goalie Ed Palma turned in a
creditable performance. turning
aside many close-in shots by the
Varsity skaters of Wesleyan
University.
Fairfield was faced with a
change of pace on the Ice. as the
match was played according to
NCAA rules. as opposed to the
NHL rules followed by the
Metropolitan Intercollegiate
Hockey League teams.
This forced the skaters to play
three twenty minute periods.
instead of the usual fifteen
minutes. Also. the center red
line is not figured in for two line
passes. and checking in the
offensive zone is permitted.
Wesleyan opened the scoring
at 6:48 in the first period. With
seven seconds N!maining in the
period. they scored again leaving
the score at 2..(1 at the end of the
period_
The Stags tied the score with
two power play goals in the
second period. The first was
credited to Dave Connors with
an assist going to Jim Martin at
6:22. Rollie Fillion accounted for

it. We worked hard since the day
we came back to school. "
The leader of the defensive
backfield will also be
graduating. Tom Sowinski came
up with two interceptions
against Stonehill, a reflection of
his fine job all year. The
offensive line will also be hardhit
by graduation, losing Co-Captain
Don Richardson and center
Terry Bottinelli. Richardson
performed admirably at center
in place of Bottinelli, who had to
miss his last game because of a
concussion injury. Both had
formed the nucleus of a stalwart
offensive line.
Carta Looks for Future Help
Coach Carta was satisfied with
the team's >3 record, but is still
looking to the future. In his
opinion, "The team came into its
own in the last two games.
Everybody knew their
assignments and worked hard."
His big worry for next year. as
it was for this year is depth. This
situation is especially true in the
offensive backfield where
quarterback Steve Lennoz aOO
four year halfback and
consistent groundgainer Ed
Kubik will graduate. Coupling
the Joss of these two players
along with the great injury
factor in the offensive backfield,
Carta hopes to see a lot of
football caOOidates next year.
"There aN! lots of jobs open in
next year's backfield and we:
need people to fill them."

Ironlllen Conclude Winning
Call1paign on 29-12 Victory
By Cblp Dayis
The class of 1973 made their
presence felt for the final time
on the Fairfield gridiron last
Saturday. The result was a 29-12
win over Stonehill College. as the
Stags ended their season with a
&-2 recQrd. vastly improvinl/: last
year's 1-7 mark.
The Stags started things
rolling on the first play of the
game with a 50 yard option pass
from Steve Lennox to Will Mraz,
which put the ball on )the
Stonehill 20 yard line. On the
next playa 20 yard screen pass
(rom Jim Collins to Ed Kubik
made the score 1-0. with Lennox
kicking the PAT.
The Chieftains then responded
by marching down the field on
passes. to what appeared to be
an easy score. Adjustments in
the secondary by Coach Carta
immediately cut off the passing
attack and later resulted in no
less than six interceptions
throughout the Rame.
K.... BreaksO.e
For the rest of the first and
most of the second. neither team
could move the ball. Late In the
second period. Kubik sped
through a huge hole and dashed
40 yards to a score. Lennox's
PAT gave the Stags a 14-6
advantage as the half ended.
Stonebill fumbled the opening
kickoff of the second haff giving
the lronmen the ball at the 12
yard line. From there, Collins
guided the team in for the SCON!
with Nick DeTura hitting paydirt
on a three yard plunge. The PAT
boosted the Ironmen's lead to 216.
At this point Coach Carta
began substituting freely and the
game remained fairly even
throughout the third quarter. In
the fourth quarter. the
Chieftains substituted a new
quarterback. This resulted in a
field day for the defensive
backfield. In addition to the
interceptions by Tom Sowinski
and Will Mraz in the first half,
there were four more in the
fourth period.
Sowinski got his second, Ken
SChrang. DeTura and Bill
"Troll" Merritt came up with
errant enemy aerials in the last
quarter.
LeDDOX Finds Mru Deep
The Stags put their final score
on the board in a spectacular 60
yard scoring strike from Lennox
to Mraz. Sowinski got into the
scoring column by catching a
two-point conversion pass from
Lennox.
