The faculty resolution, divided
into four parts eacb 01 wtUch was
voted upon separately. stipulates
that:
(I) faculty participation on the
seven-member advisory
committee under the tenns
outlined in Fr. McGinley's letter

unacceptable, since such tenns
"demean the role of the
faculty:"
(2) "the Trustee search
Committee be expanded to

Committee: and that this
expanded committee have all the
powers entrusted to the original

(3) should the Search
Committee refuse to expand its
membership by November 'no
1972. "the Committee on
Conference with the Corporation
will present this entire proposal
to the full Board ... and will
request the fun Board to
implement item 2:"
(4) "failure to implement the
above proposal will result in the
withdrawal of participaton by
the faculty as a body and the
infonning of the President-elect
by the Chairman of the Faculty

According to a mimeographed

By Robert By...
With a view toward increasing
its own power in the selection
process for a new University
President the general faculty
has voted to reject the search
procedures currently beinJl:
employed by the Board of
Trustees and the Trustee Search
Committee.
Nbt Advisory Stat.1
The teachers further indicated
that tbey would refuse
participation on the seven·
member committee advisory to
the Searcb Committee and urged
instead that membership on the
Search Committee itself be
expanded to include the five
elected representatives of the
Faculty Search Committee.
The action. taken Friday.
November 17 folloWing a week·
long recess of the faculty's
regular general meeting,

teachers would join the student
body in refusing to appoint a
representative to sit on the

Although the faculty proposal
does not rule out eventual
faculty cooperation with the

The resolution being

lettuce picked on non-union
farms disturbs me greatly as I
do not feel that your students
have been adequately informed.
Remember there are two sides

respectfully urge that you read it

If you doubt the information
contained in this pamphlet 1
suggest that you investigate
other sources such as the

I am sure you will agree that
any threat to agriculture such as
boycotts at harvest time is a

accomplish anything. The
question is where does one draw
the line. which disappoinunents
are worth the risk. This is not a
simple question and deserves
better than a simple answer
over· riding individual

worse one of the most significant
things that we learn in the premed
program is how to keep
working even when the rewards
seem intangible.

If the executive board of AED
feels that. in order to prevent the
above problems. the policy that
they suggest should not be
followed by most American
colleges. then they are
employing a double standard and
thus showing a lack of moral
judgement.
The question is. is it worth
spending four years in the premed
program when
disappointment Is probable? The
answer to the question lies with
the ideals. values. and goals of
the individual student. It is a
persmal decision. Becoming a
doctor means enough to me that
if I were a freshman I would be
willing to risk probable
disappointment and would
deeply resent the executive
board of AED or anyone else
attempting to over·ride my
decision. The policy that they
suggest seems like a harbinger
of the brave new world.
Christmas
Spirit Fades
Christmas time and the seasonal feelings of good cheer
and mirtb that traditionally accompany tbe holiday
festivities have had a difficult time emerging on the
Fairfield campus. With the initiation of final examinations
before Christmas vacation, tension and
overwhelming anxiety have overcome and displaced the
Yuletide celebrations. That wasn't bad enough! This
year, the University has chosen to schedule examinations
right up until December 23rd. The repercussions of this
policy will be strongly felt by many factions of the
University community.
If a student is fortunate enough to have a final exam on
the last day, he might possibly make it home by late
Saturday afternoon. If this is the case, he may then have
three or four hours in which to shop for Christmas
presents for his family and friends. However. if he
chooses to take a short rest to recover from the exbaus·
tion of exam week, he just might miss doing any shopping
at all (please keep in mind that Christmas Eve is a
Sunday and the stores are closed). That's nice.
One might say that worrying about Christmas sbopping
is a mere triviality. What about those students who have
to travel some distance before they arrive home?
Suppose a student has to fly home but he can't leave
before the 23rd? He'll probably arrive at home late
Saturday evening just in time to do noUling in preparation
for Christmas.
Teachers are not pleased. with the present schedule
either. I'm sure that 100 blue books will make a wonderful
present for those teachers who have the (mis?)
fortune to have their exam scheduled for the last day.
I would venture to say that the consensus is in favor of
having final exams before Christmas. Last year, even if
students had an exam on the last day, there was one week
between that time and Christmas Day, leaving students
and teachers ample time to recover from finals and to
prepare themselves for the holiday rituals. Unfortunately.
this year is different. Perhaps finals could be
scheduled to begin earlier, thereby ending on a
reasonable date instead of two days before Christmas.
Christmas is one of the most beautiful times of the
year. The feelings that pervade during this season should
not be overcome by academic anxieties.

THE UNIVERSITY VOICE
~~---:-:-----;:::=======-=,
Most of the community is, by DOW, aware that the
Board of Trustees has established a search procedure to
find a new President for Fairfield University_ The plan
invites participation from all sectors but limits voting
privileges only to the Trustees themselves. The degree of
participation open to everyone else amounts to verifying
information contained in the various candidates'
applications and screening out unqualified applicants
(the necessary qualifications having been predetermined).
The students and the faculty have refused
to participate in this procedure, insisting on the right to
vote in the final decision.
An editorial by Robert Bym which appeared in the
Nov. 16 edition of the University Voice criticized the
reactions of the stydents and faculty, declaring that
while the complaints ". . .have some merit, their
magnitude is hardly sufficient to warrant the protest and
stalling tactics being employed." I most heartily disagree.
It is not the students and faculty who are guilty of
stalling tactics; rather, it is the Board of Trustees who,
in my opinion, have stalled any hope for the concept of
shared responsibility on this campus. It seems that whHe
the Trustees fully intend to make the final decision on
their own, they have asked the other sectors of the
University to do the preliminary clerical work, and then
wait for the results with baited breath. If that's what
they caU participation, then let them participate alone.
The students and the faculty are perfectly willing to do
any amount of work involved, so long as they are allowed
to participate in the final decision, based on the work that
they have done.
In his editorial, Mr. Byrn stated that in choosing a new
President, the procedural question is relatively trivial.
On the contrary, it is of fundamental importance, for the
procedure employed will undoubtedly have a considerable
impact on the final choice.
An alternative search proposal appeared recently on
the editorial page of the Fairfield Free Press & Review.
This proposal calls for full and equal representation of aU
sectors on a Search Committee which would submit a
slate of five or six mutually acceptable candidates to the
Board of Trustees. The Board would then choose the next
President from this group of finalists. This represents a
far more just and equitable method o[ cboosing a
university President. In addition, any man chosen in this
manner will have already taken a big step toward
establishing a genuine rapport with all sectors of the
community. On the other hand, the choosing of a President
in the way that the Trustees have prescribed can
only lead to anger, animosity and resentment. The
students and the faculty have refused to support any such
procedure, and I commend them for their action.
Mr. Byrn concludes his editorial by commenting that a
voice is often more powerful than a vote. I would remind
him that in order to be powerful, a voice must be heard.
The democratic process of this country is founded on the
principle that the loudest voice is the one with a vote
bebind it. Thomas Waguer

Recognizing this fact David
Storey has exposed the
individual personalities of team
members in "The Changing

much different than American
football - it's rotl$her. As the

they are hurt or themselves hurt
with their language. But why
suffer this physical and lingual
abuse? Certainly there is little
glory to be found in this minor
league as is evidenced by the
small number of fans seeking
autographs. In fact the only
apparent reason why they might
submit themselves to these
ordeals is money although the
word is never mentioned.

Stag Five to Meet SCSC
In Commemorative Opener
Icemen Slip to 3-3
FREE TICKETS!
In a game in which Fairfield couldn't lose, a few players may
have fared better than expected. The Red vs. White intra-squad
game was highlighted by a few impressive individual
perfonnances, typical of a competitive scrimmage where starting
positions and sixth and seventh spots on the team are still up for
grabs.
1be sensational play of Jerry Lademan, who hit on 10 of 14 shots
from the field, along with the strong rebounding of Crail Moorer
and the fine defensive work of Ray Kelly left Coach Barakat with a
questionmart in his mind as to who deserves to start. The veteran
coach was qukk to add tbat the starting assignments are only
secondary as to who would actually end up playing the most
minutes.
Captain GeoTJe Groom, a 21.2 scorer from last year's 12-13 squad,
is one man that will be out there at center court opening nighL 1be
6"2" sharp-shooting guard needs 12 pts. to reach the 1000 pt. plateau
and 411 to become Fairfield's top all-time scorer. 1be fiery senior
realistically envisions a 20+ winning season with the optimism q
an undefeated one lasting, I would iJna&ine, until the first loss.
With the likes of South
Carolina, Detroit, Providence,
St. Joseph's, and Manh.ilttan on
the schedule, winning everyone
doesn't come easy. Georxe, the
perfectionist readily agrees. He
has spent tbe preseason wisely,
working on all the facets 01 his
game. "We have a highly
explosive offensive un,it tbis
year. The pressure of
concentrating to get open last
year is gone. We should have a
balanced scoring attack this
season, making it easier for me
as well as the other players on
the team to be able to take better ....._ r..-..
shots." -.-. .......-.e Groom
In his role as captain, George seems to be enjoying basketball
more. He is attune to tbe team's closeness, their willingness and
desire to play together as a cohesive unit. There is strength in unity
and from this unity grows a confidence aboot the upcoming season's
prospectus.
After the Stags' fine showing against the powerful Redmen of St.
John's. George proudly alluded to some of the rec~nition that
Fairfield was receiving. F'rom a few of his friends at Providence,
transfer player Kevin Stacom in particular, he had heard that the
Stags' perfonnance in the scrimmage as well as the overall
anticipation of the Dec. II contest had created quite a buzz.
"Fairfield is finally gaining respect." commented the three year
varsity perfonner, "from some of the major competition that we
face." Smilingly he added. "No lonjiler when we depart from the bus
will our opponents mistake our centers and forwards for nards."
Rogen' 3Z pts. leads Red 10 ft.8t vlC1Ory_
The addition of Phil Rogers has had a definite effe<=t on the
complimentary publicity Fairfield has been receiving. Rogers has
earned a starting berth on the strength of his preseason play.
Hitting 14 of 22 shots and a game-high 32 points for the Red team
didn't actually hinder his position eitber.
Coach Barakat also admitted that he would be going with John
Ryan at the other starting guard position. The 6' jun,ior has the
quarterbacking experience which enabled him to rank third in New
England in assists last season with 129. Ryan. noted for his defense,
will have the assignment of covering the opponent's high·scoring
guard, I
The other forward spot seems to be still up for grabs, with senior
Tom Duffy, last year's leading rebounder, junior &b Bogad, a 12.3
scorer, and sophomore Ralph Rehn. a 19.9 freshman scorer in
contention.
Leading candidate for the center position is Dave Bradley. The
"Rave" posted a 14.4 ppg. average along with a 9.6 rebound average
last season. Craig Moorer led New England freshmen in rebounding
last year with 16 a game, and along with sophomore transfer Dick
Backfish should provide great depth at the pivot.
Since the Stags will be geared to run and shoot on offense. a deep
and talented bench Is a prime requisite. Thanks to a group of super
sophs, Coach Barakat has just such a bench. Irregardless of who
nails down the starting positions, the important men on the team
will be tbose obviously who see the most action. At 6 '3". Ray
Kelly. a 25.6ppg. with last year's freshmen, is too good a player not
to be one of those important men.
As evidenced by his tight coverage of George Groom in the Red
vs. White scrimmage. Kelly is a standout defensive player.
Offensively he couples a deadly outside shooting eye with an
uncaMy ability to drive the lane. Kelly played center in high school
because of his aggressiveness under the boards. In my estimation,
the high·scoring sophomore should be utilized as the sixth man on
the team. Being positioned as swingman, Kelly could spell both
Rogers and Groom while maintaining equal firepower in tbe Stags'
offensive attack.

Sub-Varsity
By Peter Berann.o
This years' "freshman" squad
has many new faces and a rule
change. The change is that the
freshmen squad is called the subvarsity,
because of a NCAA rule
change making freshmen eligible
for varsity basketball.
This rule makes the subvarsity
more of a taxi squad for
the varsity, rather than a
separate team that it was last
year. The main purpose of the
sub-varsity is to serve the varsity.
Any time during the year the
sub-varsity could have a completely
different line-up with
sophomores and even juniors
shuttling back and forth at
various spots through the year.
The newest notable change this
year is in the coach. Last year,
Coach Percudani's team ended
up with a I1-S record. Over the
swnmer Percudani received a
head coaching aDd teaching job
at Darien High School. Trying to
fill his shoes will be Tom
McCorry. McCorry will have
some excellent talent to work
with, but not quite the caliber
ball players that filled the uniforms
last year.
Some of the players to take
note of will be:
Herb Rhaburn, a 6'1 ,. guard out
of Power Memorial in NYC. At
Power he was the captain of a 19S
team and was named MVP of
the city playoffs. Rhabum is an
excellent ball handler who can
put the ball through the hoop
consistently. His defense was one
big reason he is bere at F.U. In
high school, be was usually the
man who was given the opponent's
high scorer.
Another key player is 6'4"
Greg Scott from St. Raymond's
in New York. Scott was aptly
called "Elevator Man" in school.
Why? He's the type of guy, that
when he jumps he could pick the
ball off the roof, well maybe the
rafters, well... In high school, be
averaged 14 rebounds and 13
points a game.
Other players worth mentioning
are 6'6" Steve Diaz, who
was a devastating player at
Oratory Prep. Joe Morina, who
will see some action on the varsity
level. was the Frosh's sixth
man last year_He filled in
superbly last year as a swing
man. He will be sharing the
guard duties with Jim McCarthy,
also from last year's Frosh
squad.
AI Fermeglia will be suiting up
with the sub-varsity many times,
Fermeglia, who is 6'6" is a
sophomore with a lot of ability.
He could be seeing action for
both teams in the same night.
Walt Hutchinson is 6'0" forward
who combines jumping ability
with hustle to put in many points.
SeasoD Oullook
Overall the SUb-varsity team
should perform creditably. but
not quite like last years'. One
reason could be this year's lack
of depth as compared to last
years. They should be a model of
the varsity_ emphasizing a running
attack. This year's team
could be exciting and sllOUld ha\'e
a slightly better than average
re<=ord (say 11-12 victories).

inexperienced freshman.

In the same week, the Stags
scored an 8-1 victory over the
Ram skaters of Fordham
University at the Riverdale Rink
in the Bronx. New York.

The last two minutes of that
same period found a barrage of
goals in the net. Fordham
managed to score their only Koal

Chris Stanton and Joe Flynn
gave three more to the Stags.
Fairfield scored one goal in the
second period. as defenseman
Gerry Michaud passed the puck
to Joe Glotzbier positioned on
the left side of the net. who in
turn fed the puck to Tom
Gilman, who shot It past the
Ram goalie.
When only eleven seconds
elapsed in the third period,
Michaud let go with a s!apshot
from the right point to score
unassisted for Fairfield. Dave

scored the final two goals for the
Stags.
