degree of detachment that
separates mind from experience.

Ahlberg
Announces
Candidacy
Taking aim at what he tenned
the "fiscal irresponsibility
within the Student Govemment"
junior politics major Kurt
Ahlberg announced his candidacy
for the Student Government
Presidency in a speech
broadcast over radio station
WVOF Monday. January 22.
Mr. Ahlbert thus became the
first student to declare publicly
his intentions to run for the pst
which has been vacated by
former President Steven Mednick.
Mr. Mednick currently is
participating in a political intern
program at American University
in Washington.
Although Mr. Ahlberg is the
only student to have entered this
year's Presidential race thus
far, it is anticipated that by the
time of the eleclion, which will
be held next Thursday, February
I, he will face competition from
at least two other juniors. Student
legislators Joseph Hasten
and Edward Harrison have
already hinted that they may
enter the Presidential
sweepstakes.

has also served as a member of

Acting to fill the vacancy
created by the departure of
University President, R~v.
William C. McInnes, S.J., the
Board of Trustees has elected
David W.P. Jewitt, a senior vice
president of the Connecticut
National Bank. to serve as the
Board's new chainnan.
The election of Mr. Jewitt,
who is the first lay chainnan of
the Board in its 3O-year history,
was announced following the
Board's quarterly meeting in
December. Previously Fr.
McInnes had served as both
chairman of the Board and
President of the University.
Thus for the first time in the
school's historY the duties of
chainnan of the Board and
President will be distinct. The
action also moves the Board a
step closer to realizing its ultimate
goal, as outlined in its
1970 Statement on Governance,
of phasing out Board members
who are also members of the internal
University structure.

Sought For
Drug Rehab
Operation Reverse, a Big
Brother/Big Sister program for
adolescent drug abusers in the
Bridgeport area, is seeking
voluneers from Fairfield University.
The new program. sponsored
by the Ministry for:. Social
Concerns of the Diocese of
Bridgeport, offers an altemative
approach to the group session
technique of professional drug
therapeutic programs. Director
Vin Roberti, a sophomore
sociology major at Fairfield, ex·
plained that this program seeks
to foster a one·lo-one trust
relationship between a teen-age
drug abuser and a concerned
volunteer, who serves both as a
model and a friend to the youth.
Volunteers will receive a
lhree-day training session with
the Association of Drug
programs of Bridgeport, including
exercises in sensory
awareness and leadership, and
instruction in the reasons underlying
drug abuse and the particular
nature of Bridgeport's
drug problem. Once assigned a
youth, the Big Brother or Sister
will be expected to meet with
him at least once a week for a
three hour session.
Mr. Roberti has arranged with
the State Juvenile Court in
Bridgeport and the Catholic
school system to refer teenagers
with drug problems into
the program, and hopes to make
similar arrangements with the
public school system. He
emphasized that the program is
non-professional, intended to
supplement but not replace
lherapeutic programs.

really necessary for the students
to pay for the Treasurer to have
a telephone in his room when he
lives two floors below the
President? The "political elite"
are the ones whose policies have
brought about fiscal irresponsibility
within the Student
Government. It is about time
this situation was ended. I feel
that the only interest any student
leaders should have is the
students' interest. There is absolutely
no place for special,
group, or personal interests that
have taken precedence over student
interests in the past.
The "political elite" have been
given the chance, time and time

they have continually failed. Yet

A complete text of Mr.
Ahlberg's speech follows:
Text of Speecb
Over the past few years, student
governance at Fairfield
University has been steadily
moving forward. Students have
their own constitution, rights,
legislature. and executive and
judiciary branches of government.
However, 1, for one. can't
help but wonder about certain
discrepancies in this progreso
sion,
Especially in the executive
branch, it seems that student
government is becoming stagnant.
Does student govemance
simply mean confrontation and
boycotting administration and
faculty committees? Does student
governance simply mean an
outlandish executive budget with
excessive spending, yet nothing
to show for it? Does student
governance simply mean a lack
of communication and a shroud
of secrecy and inaccessibility in
the executive branch?
I think the answer to all of
these is a resounding NO! A new
direction in the executive branch
is needed to further the continuing
movement for
meaningful student governance.
VYe need a real change here at
Fairfield University. The
"political elite" in the Student
Association have brought about
the present situation. They are
not capable of bringing about essential
change. Therefore, I
would like to take this opportunity
to announce my candidacy for
the office of President of the Student
Association.
If elected President. I would
encourage far greater student
participation in student government
than has existed in the
past. The government of the few
is government for the. few.
Students should use every means
at their disposal to make
themselves heard, Meaningful
negotiation between concerned
parties can bring about full stu·
dent rights and meaningful particatpion
in university decisionmaking.
I stand strongly for fiscal integrity.
Last year, a $21,000 executive
budget was passed in the
Student Legislature. With this
huge budget, why don't we have
more concerts and social
events? Why have the President
and the Treasurer of the Student
Association not kept the student
informed as to where the money

University will have to pay even
greater attention to questions of
state and federal aid and local
community relations.
The Trustees approved the
submitting of an application by
the University for an FM radio
station. This request, which had
been initiated by a student group
at WVOF and supported by the
Vice President of Student Services
and the President, received
unanimous approval. At the
same time the Board of Trustees
authorized an increase of $5.00 in
University fees which had been
recommended by a student body
referendum. The extra fee would
be applied to the operations of
the campus FM radio station,
effective September 1973.

frame to block 8 of the Red
Raiders' shots as well as grabbing
several loose balls in and
around the foul lane.
The Stag defense prevented a
Colgate player from reaching
double figures as Jack McKay
and Larry Harris scored nine
each.
Tossing in 10-15 field goals
attempts, George Groom hit a
consistent 20 points for the
fourth time during the semester
break. Rogers and Kelly added
12 each while Ryan passed off for
9 assists. Rehn scored lion good
shootin$" and tied Moorer for
game high rebounder with 10.
Counting the 96-69 loss to St.
Joseph's, the Stags vacation
record was a disappointing 3-4.

presented a brief narrative out·
lining the faculty interest in the
selection of the new President. A
short discussion was held conceming
faculty thoughts on the
qualifications of the President
although the members of the
committee preferred to refer the
issue to other faculty committees
working on that
problem.
The President outlined his
thoughts for the future of the

areas of the academic process.
and its environment along with
the area of community development
would have to have increasing
emphasis at Fairfield
in the decade ahead. He noted
that growth would not be the
major frame of reference and
that he hoped the school would
be able to limit its number of undergraduate
students to the present
size. He pointed out that
continued improvement of the
academic process will be re-be
based on the nations of people
represented in it.
"I got the feeling," Mr.
Lukacs said, "the Russians were
unable to get into problems and
abstract them from propaganda.
"It reminded me in a way of
Stalin's time. When you wrote an
article you had to quote Stalin.
"Now you no longer quote
Stalin, but work in the propaganda
without criticism, and it comes
out as positive socialism," he
said.
Mr. Lukacs noted the International
Society which meets
every four years, last me in Uppsala,
Sweden, and the American
Society will meet at Fairfield
University during October of this
year.
While a good portion of their
time was devoted to academic
meetings, Mr. Lukacs revealed,
the delegates were free to tour
as much as they wished.
"I found the country very
much alive, but highly controlled.
They seem to have gone
all out in the area of construction,
especially new hotels.
"But the odd thing was the
glaring lack of maintenance, and
consequent deterioration of even
the newest structures.
"There was also quite a contrast
between city and country'"
Mr. Lukacs went on to explain.
"I found the peasants living in
the countryside much as they did
before the First World War.
"It seems what the Russian
government does for them is
done sporadically," he said.

The Board of Trustees at its
December meeting made
several important changes in
University staff and structure. A
new lay Chairman of the Board
was elected by the Tru~tees. He
is Mr. David Jewitt. Vice President,
Connecticut National
Bank.
The by-laws of the University
were updated. Major changes included
a separation of the office
of Chairman and President; the
requirement that the President
must be a Jesuit; the requirement
that at least one-third of
the members of the Board must
be members of the Society of
Jesus.
The Trustees met with the
Faculty Committee of the
Conference with the Corporation.
Present were Fr. Scully,
Dr. John McCarthy, Dr. Frank
Rice, Dr. Nicholas Rinaldi, and
Dr. Alexander Tolor. Fr. Scully
"The Russians criticized me
. severely .for not saying art
should be socially realistic, and
it w'!-s .impossible to explain to
them' we· weren't discussing
rules, but causes of art."
This was the reaction Palko
Lukacs, chainnan of Fairfield's
Fine Arts Department, received
from Russian delegates to the
International Society for
Aesthetics and Art Criticism
convention held recently in
Bucharest, Rumania, and before
which he was invited to speak.
Mr. Lukacs along with Dr.
Morris Grossman, associate
professor of Philosophy, were
delegates from the American
branch of the academic
organization, and were both in
Rumania to give papers before
the gathering.
"It was very interesting, in
that it was the first time any
society I am a member of has
met behind the Iron Curtain,"
Mr. Lukacs said. And to be met
'by such a storm of criticism over
a subject that can't be called
controversial amazed me."
His talk dealt with the psychological
and biological aspects
of the creation of art works,
which he maintains is the inborn
instinct of a person to arrange
things in patterns.
This instinct has been with
man since the stone age and has
been demonstrated among
children through tests, Mr.
Lukacs explained.
"But the Russians were shocked
by this notion, and not even
their Soviet Block colleagues
could explain it to them.
"What really "oored me was
the fact that all the papers read
by the Russians carried the
same theme - the masses respond
best to the socialist idea of
Social Realism.

1_Stag Sideline•.•...i
By TOBY MIxCUI
Upon leaving Columbia, Sooth Carolina, one remembers at least
one of lhe following three things: Southern Hospitality, The
"Gamecock," and the University of South CaroHna Basketball.
The Stags arrived two days before their scheduled January 6
game against USC, and were greeted by item one. Between the
players being treated to pre-game meals and the coaches given
passes to a nearby golf course, both courtesy of USC, a lour of the
campus highlighted USC's cordiality.
Opening its doors in 1805, the University has grown to a total of
16,600 students on 130 acre main campus situated downtown in the
state capital. .
Under Paul Dietzel. director of athletics, the completion of such
projects as the ten million dollar Carolina Coliseum (12,401 seating
capacity) and a new spring sports center have helped to provide
the University with some of the finest facilities in the nation.
Donn-wise. USC is unique. 1be "Roost," for example. is the
rtsidence hall that houses strictly student athletes. Captstone
House. an 18-story honors residence hall for women, features the
only campus roof-top revolving restaurant in the world.
Southern hospitality can also be found in the friendly. relaxed atmosphere
of the city. One storeowner, obviously an avid Gamecock
fan, recogniZed the Fairfield enslgnla on our jackelS and. despite
the long line of customers, stepped out of the cash register booth for
a few minutes to converse with us about that night's game.
Gamecock Symbol Wklespread
Item Two refers to the symbol of a fiery red gamecock with
razor sharp claws and talons. which seems to engulf the city of
Columbia. The "Gamecock" Restaurant. the "Gamecock" Hotel.
the "Gamecock" grocery store. etc. show an almost flag-like
patriotism to the Gamecock symbol. Even the Hardee's hamburger
chain displays this symbol painted on the tiled floor of their Columbia
branch_
Traditionally the Gamecock has long been a part of sporting life
and history in South Carolina. Cockfighting flourished in South
Carolina prior to the Revolutionary war and has been practiced
almost constantly, although sub rosa. since that time.
The USC basketball team. nicknamed the Fighting Gamecocks,
has become as revered to the people of Columbia as the GamealCk
symbol itself. When a downtown sboe store exhibits a cloth banner
containing pictures of Coach Frank McGuire and Individual pic·
tures of this year's USC teams: or when the F.W, Woolworth in
Columbia's big sale item happens to be your choice of University of
South Carolina lettered and Gamecock-symboled T-shirts or
sweatshirts, a visitor can be easily impressed.
Media Relatioaship
USC basketball, in my estimation, achieves th pinnacle of
Collegiate basketball success. Media-wise it is nothing short of
professional in the true sense of the word. Every game is broadcast
on local T.V. with certain parts edited later for the nightly news.
The press not only have comfortable seats at eourtslde. but are
treated to a buffet dinner before the game in the USC "Hospitality
Room." Statistics that include ev~rything imaginable are available
to the press and are so elaborate that a sports writers' story is practically
done for him. The "Columbia Record" the next day filled the
lead page in the sports section with two lengthy articles and three
action photos of Fairfield's hard-fought 69-58 loss.
The one ingredient; that sets USC apart from all others and the
one that remains with a visitor probably the longest is the
Gamecock spirit. Two pep bands, including a rock and roll band, set
the tempo for the acrobatic cheers of the Coed USC cheerleading
squad. The crowd, that night of over 12,000 with the University still
on vacation. even spurred the Gamecocks on with applause as they
dribbled up the court after an opponent's basket.
PlIeoomeul Home StI«esS
Frank McGuire's winning percentage of .721 can be partially attributed
to this factor of Gamecock spirit. 1be smallest crowd ever
to attend a USC game in the four-year old Coliseum was 9,871, with
average attendance being at the 12,327 mark, Support is what the
USC's basketball team receives and the Gamecocks have respond·
ed with a fine 46-4 record at home.
Thus the only regret one has upon leaving the eity of Columbia
and USC basketball is that the "Southern Hospitality" doesn't seem
to extend itself to the Gamecock's court.

stripe, paced the Gamecock attack
until Joyce began his
streak. Another freshman to
keep your eye on is 6-8 Alexander
~nglish, who scored 16 points
and grabbed 7 rebounds.
The Columbian native's leaping
ability enabled him to block
numerous Stag attempts. and to
tip in a perfect pass by guiding
the ball over his 'head with both
hands and with his back to the
basket. South Carolina wrapped
up the game from the free throw
line as they out-eonverted the
foul-laden Stags. 25-6.
Craig Moorer paced the Stags'
rebounding with eight as they
bested the Gamecocks in reboun·
ding, 41-35. The 6'10" sophomore
shutout USC's T center Danny
Traylor. Groom scored 20 points
and tied Rogers for second
leading rebounder with six.
Upset by U.S.A.
A 32 point perfonnance by
guard Gene Oliver helped determine
a nip and tuck affair as
Fairfield lost to a lackluster
University of South Alabama
team by a 83-& score.
1be Stags received support
from Kelly. Rogers. Groom and
Moorer with 19. 18. 14, and 14
points respectively. Moorer
grabbed a game-high 16
rebounds, but Fairfield was con·
vincingly out-rebounded by 42-27
margin. Ironically not only had
the Stags just come off a good
board game against USC. but
Alabama was also without its
leading rebounder. 6-8 Leon
Williams.
A timeout that was seemingly
lost by the official scorer forced
the Stags to charge up the court
without being able to use their
last timeout after George
Ledbetter had missed a foul shot
with 12 seconds left with the
score 83-82. Groom. looked Inside,
found no one open and consequently
shot from long range,
and the ball skidded off the rim.
"Up North"
Ray Kelly came off the bench
to rip the nets for 18 points in
twenty minutes of playing time
to spark Fairfield to a 79-69 win
over Brown University on
January 13,
Groom hit 19 to lead the Stags
and Rogers and Rehn followed
with 15 and 13 points. Hitting 21
four shots as compared to only 9
for the Bruins. the Stags were
able to maintain a lead, often·
times a slim one. throughout the
contest. Phil Brown was top
scorer with 14 and rebounder
with 18 for the losers.
