Andrew Heath, head of the
Music Division, Fine Arts
Department, has announced
that, in response to general stu­dent
demand, and with the in·
valuable support of the Student
Government, EVENINGS OF

Release of the financial report
also cleared the way to the
Government of the $23,260.00
balance of the optional student
Activities Fee collected by the
administration. The administra­tion
had collected a total of $38,­260.00,
$15,000.00 of which was
paid to the Government in
September of 1972. The remain·
ing $23,260.00 was withheld pen­ding
completion of a financial
audit.
Figures supplied by Mr.
Lucas indicate that nearly
500 students, from a total
student population of 2,446,
did not pay the Activities
Fee.
The completion of Mr. Lucas'
report may be highly instrumen­tal
in lessening the aura of
mystery and suspicion which has
surrounded Student Government
spending policies during recent
years. or late many members of
the Student Legislature have
voiced concern that Government
fiscal practices have reflected
irresponsi611ity and ineptness on
the part of officials within the
Government's executive
branch. The legislators have also
been critical of what they con­sider
to be the secretiveness of
the Student Government Presi­dent
and Treasurer in their
maintenance of Government
financial records.
In its final issue of the first
semester the UlIIlvenlty Voice
revealed that large-scale
tampering with the
Government's financial books by
Mr. Mednick prevented an In­dependent
accounting finn from
wmp&eting an audit during the
summer of 1972. The incident
prompted Government
Treasurer Robert Kunces to ap­proach
JOM M. Hickson, Vice
President in charge of the
University's Business and
Finance Division, who promised
that he and Mr. Lucas would
prepare the audit without
charge.
Although, according to the
Lucas letter, the financial report
"proved that the books of ac­counts
correctly stated the finan­cial
position of the Student
Government within a variance of
less than one dollar," Mr. Lucas
recommended that a number of
changes and improvements be
implemented in future financial
transactions and record-keeping.

Repeated attempts on the part
of the University's administra­tion
to secure a financial audit of
the Student Government's books
for the fiscal year 1971-72 have
finally succeeded with the
release of a financial report
prepared by University Con­lroller
William J. Lucas.

The report, completed one
week prior to the Christmas
recess, indicates, according to a
letter sent from Mr. Lucas to
Student Government President
Steven Mednick, "that the finan­cial
records of the Fairfield
University Student Government
adequately represent their finan­cial
position as of June 30, 19'12."
Nevertheless, Mr. Lucas pointed
out that the University could not
certify an oUicial audit of the
Government's books, since Wor­mation

noted that the necessity of sub­mitting
a mid-tenn grade serves
as a check upon the teachers that
they are maintaining Ci!rtain
academic standards in their
classes.
His apparent support of the
present estimate procedure may
be taken as an indication that Fr.
Coughlin will refuse to imple­ment
the faculty's recommenda­tion
regarding estimates. The
Dean and Acting PresideDt did
point out, though, that be would
be qUite willing to employ some
means other than the current one
of Wonning students and their
parents of mid-semester grades.
He emphasized that parents are
especially desirous of knowing
how their children are perfor­ming
in school and should be in­fonned
of academic progress
sometime during the tenn.
Presently, estimates are sent
to all students and to the parents
of students under 21 years of age.
The mid-term grades are not
sent, however, to the parents of
financially-independent students.
StDdent-Faculty Complallllt'
In the past both students and
faculty members have complain­ed
that estimates are not a true
reflection of one's probable final
grade since they are often based
on minimal class work. Teachers
..frequently base the estimate
grade on only one test or paper.
In addition, they argue, the es­timate
deadline (about the sixth
or seventh week into the term)
creates a compact period of mid­term
eiaminations, when
teachers cram tests and
assignments.
In other action taken at the
faculty meeting, the teachers

By a wide margin the general
faculty voted at its initial
meeting of the second semester
last Thursday, January 25, to
abolish estimate grades for aU
students except freshmen.

Formal E.timates
The action, if approved by
Rev. James Coughlin, S.J., the
University's Academic Dean and
Acting President, would
eliminate the current practice of
formally sending estimate
grades to a student and his
parents at mid-semester.
However. the tenos of the
faculty motion stipulate that a
student may request his teacbets
to submit a fonnal mid-tenn es­timate
if he so desires.
Attempts to eliminate estimate
grades for all students failed
with the adoption of an amend­ment
offered by Rev. 1bomas
McGrath, S.J., of the Psychology
Department. Fr. McGrath's
amendment, supported by a
sizeable number of freshman
teachers and advisors, specified
that mandatory estimates be
retained only for freshmen
students. Dr. Robert Fedorchek
of the Modern Languages
Department had originally
proposed that the mid-term
grades be abolished for all
students.
Mid-semester grades have
been a source of controversy
among both the student bOOy and
general faculty for many years,
but repeated efforts to eliminate
them have met with opposition
on the part of the administration_

for the position of Stu­dent

statements appear below.
In addition, the Fairfield
Legislature overturned a
previous piece of legislation in­itiated
by Mr. Mednick concer­ning
his refusal to send student
members to the Residence Hall
Study Committee.
On October 9, 1972, Dean
William SChimpf, Director of
Student Services had requested
Mr. Mednick to appoint three
lstudents to an ad hoc committee
which had been created to in­vestigate
all a'spects of
Residence Hall living.
As part of his critical' policy of
,Student Services, Mr. Mednick
refused to send students to that
committee and received
legislative approval of his ac­tions.

the hope that the budget

In other actions during the
meeting, Representative Terry
Horan motioned that Student
Legislature President Richard
Canel assume the reigns of ac·

in accordance wiUl con­stitutional
stipulations, until the
Presidential elections. This ac­tion
follows Steven Mednick's
decision to attend American

A second motion was made
that Mr. Mednick return all ac­coutrements
associated wiUl his
former position. According to
Representative Joseph Hasten,
the former Chief Executive
removed a typewriter from the
Student Government office and
brought it with him to
Washington. Mr. Horan also
stated that Mr. Mednick had fail­ed
to return keys to the Student
Government office and other
related items upon his departure.
The legislation will also call for
the disconnection of the phone
paid for by the Student Govern·
ment in Mr. Mednick's Far East

Political CorrespondeJlt
In reaction to Student Associa­tion
Budget mismanagement un­der
the administration of former
Student Government President
Steven Mednick, the Fairfield
Student Legislature at its Tues­day
meeting voted
overwhelmingly to freeze all
funds of the executive budget im­mediately.
The legislature which has
demanded budget accountability
on the part of the executive
numerous times, as well as a
release of the audit of the Student
Association budget by the Direc­tor
of Finance of the University.
John Hickson, finally checked the
executive branch of the Govern­ment
by its landmark vote.
Executiye Funds Frozen
T!l.e eUects of this piece of
legislation will immediately be
felt by all executive departments
seeking funds for their activities.
Among those departments feel­ing
the effects of the freeze will
be social and cultural affairs,
student services, community ac­tion,
government operations, and
the Fairfield Free Press and
Review.
Moreover, all unpaid bills ac·
crued by the Government will re­main
unpaid until the freeze is
lifted. This will include all phone
bills acquired by the Government
from phones located in the rooms
of Steven Mednick, and
Treasurer Robert Kunces, and
the Student Government Office.
No Renovalions
In a related piece of legisla·
tion. the legislature passed a mo­lion
forbidding any additions or
improvements to be made in the
Student Government Office in
the basement of the Campus
Center in accordance with the
freeze of all executive funds.
During the course of debate on
this item of legislation, it was
revealed to the surprise of the
legislature that Denise O'Brien
and John Mekrut, both former
legislators, had been paid two
dollars per hour for work within
the Student Governrfl.ent Office.
Both students were also given an
unlimited accessibility to
stationery orders charged to the
Student Government. Both Miss
O'Brien and Mr. Mekrut worked
for a total of thirty hours and
were paid sixty dollars. Accor­ding
to Miss O'Brien, both
workers had no specific office
duties other than cleaning the of­fice
and putting it in some
semblence of order.
The legislation to freeze all ex­ecutive
funds stems from the
confusing and conflicting finan­cial
reports submitted by
Treasurer Robert Kunces. Until
the Government audit, com­pleted
late last semester by
University Controller William
Lucas, has been thoroughly
studied, t..i.e Student Government
will have to wait for an exact
clarification of the status of the

The Students want and deserve

ended up paying for any and all
such events themselves. Dorm
parties, hall parties and the like
should be subsidized by their Ac­tivities
Fees. For too long many
socially appealing projects have
been underwritten by the
students' money; it is time for us
to admit that we cannot arrord
these programs. The interests of
the students' has got to take
precedent. In any administration
I take responslblity for, this will
have unflinching priority.
The Fairfield Free Press and
Review, though it has served as
an answer to administratively­(

short of its intended goals. It has
been a Uimsy alternative.

The students though behind e

chosen to implement those prop­posals

methods used by the Mednick
regime. Such approaches as have
been operative in the past must

now we should talk." As for his
other opponent, Joe Hasten, he
states "Joe was very close to
Mednick. It's very popular now
to be anti-Mednick. and that's
how his campaign is geared."
Joe Hasten, also a junior, is
campaigning primarily for refor­m
of the Student Government
which he feels was seriously un­derminded
by Steve Mednick.
"His administration destroyed
any integrity the Student
Government might have had
and succeeded in destroying any
capabilities which the office of
President gives to the holder.
Administratively, it was a dis­aster.
Financially, it was hap­hazard
at best." In light of the
fiscal irresponsibility, Hasten
calls for doing away with the ex-

faculty and administration. By
accepting a voice anywhere in
the decision-making process,
even though not included in the
University structure, students
can at least convince the ad­ministration
to change."
In regard to the other can­didates,
Ahlberg says "Hasten's
running an anti-Mednick cam­paign.
He wants to throw
everything away and start over,
which would be a giant step
backward. He holds a personal
vendetta against specific people
and specific programs. Harrison
is too identified with Mednick
himself."
Ed Harrison. otherwise known
as Yogi, is generally conceded to
be the frontrunner in the race. In
his one-page position paper, be
stated the theme of his cam­paign:
"The neJl:t president must
be elected not on bow many
promises he can make, but on
the assurance that be can ex­ecute
and administrate the ones
he does make." He justines bis
call for action by pointing to his
past record. He was a member
of the RHA on Campion 3 last
year where he took the initiative
for providing social activities,
from which came the famous
Bubblegum Tbeater, magic
shows, and guest lectures by
speakers such as Nicholas Dove,
chainnan of the John Birch club
on campus. A junior, be has been
in the Student Legislature for
two years, and last November
directed the student campaign
for McGovern at Fairneld.
He emphasizes a realitic
assessment of the President's
power, and is critical of
Ahlberg's far-reaching
proposals for academic Teform.
"They are nice proposals, but
they're not feasible. Dropping
mid-semester estimates is feasi­ble
because faculty support is
behind it. But the faculty won't
support cutting down the core
curriculum when their jobs de­pend
upon it." As for rus concep­tion
of the President's role, he
says "Certai~ things within the
Student Government can be
done. Money should be made
available to small groups, like
the R.H.A.'s, F.A.C., and
M.E.H.P., and then social ac­tivities
will take place; students
will take the initiative."
Calling for an end to "the reign
and dominance of the politicos,"
he described the present state of
the Student Government as "a
crisis." "The Student Govern­ment
needs new talent;
legislators who represent the
students." He voiced what may
be general student opinion on
University governance, saying
"We nave to keep !V0rking to be
major competitors - Boston
College, Georgetown, Holy Cross
- by its failure to do so." But as
to the specific means of achiev­ing
power in governance, his
position differs Uttle from that of
the other candidates. "Confron­tation
and boycotting are
counterproductive. I beUeve in
meaningful ne~otiation with

among the student body, as he IS
a commuter who transferred
from Sacred Heart University in
Bridgeport at the beginning of
the year. But he contends, "I
don't think my time here is that
big an issue. I've gone talking
door-to-door in over half the
dorms, and the response has
been very positive, very warm. 1
think the students realize I'm not
soley a commuter candidate."
Besides urging "better ac­counting
of the books" and ap­propriations
"to serve not just
a few but everyone," Ahlberg
has taken the most radical posi­tion
on academic policies. In his
position paper he called for op­tional
final exams in non-major
required courses, a reduction in
core requirements, and optional
pass-fail grades. He has also
been outspoken on University
governance, saying "shared
responsibility in governance is

The 1973 student government
elections will see the appoint­ment
of the most conservative
student administration at Fair­field
within the last three years,
since Dennis Gallagher's activist
campaign in the spring of 1970.
All three candidates are conduc­ting
campaigns that are
vociferously anti-Mednick. at­tacking
in particular his ad­ministration's
fiscal irrespon­sibility.
and calling for an end to
the rule of the political elite.
President Mednick's term was
marked by a midnight march up
to Bellarmine last spring in
response to the defeat of the
tripartite constitution, an abor­tive
student strike. and a policy
of refusing to participate on
University committees where
students had no binding power.
In direct opposition to this
stance, the candidates this year
are urging, in tones of varying
firmness, a policy of negotiation
and guarded compromise with
the administration in order to
achieve student involvement in
University governance.
Mr. Mednick's term was also
marked during the past semester
by a fiscal crisis which arose out
of incomplete and juggled ac­counts
of Student Government
expenses and which resulted in
the University's withholding
$la,OOO of Student Government
funds collected from the Ac­tivities
Fees. In response to this.
the candidates are condemning
the corruption of Mednick's ac­tions
and pledging new ex­ecutive
administrations that will
be efficient, open, and fiscally
responsible.
The first candidJte to declare
rus candidacy was junior Kurt
Ahlberg who spoke on WVOF the

Mr. Corcoran contested the suit.
Mr. DICorpo's arguments
were that he purcha1Ied several
tickets at a total cost of 121.00
from Mn. Medve. At the time of
purclwe, Mr. OlCo<po said be
made a verbal contract with
Mrs. Medve that tbe tickets
could be picked up at the Campus
Center Office instead of the bol:
office at the gym. Mr. OICorpo
contended that this contract was
broken when the tickets were
removed from tbe Campus
Center Office to the bol: office of
the Gym. Mr. DiCorpo further
argued that Mrs. Medve was a
legitimate vendor for the Social
Committee and made a contract
for the Social Committee and
that contract was broken en­titling
him to a refund of $21.00.
Mr. Corcoran argued that Mrs.
Medve was not a legitimate ven­dor
for the Social Committee,
and. therefore had no right to
make contracts for the Social
Committee.·Mr. Corcoran added
that the tickets were available at
the gym bOI: office and no
attempt was made to pick up
these tickets. The Social Com­mittee
has a policy of no refunds
according to Mr. Corcoran. It
was the contention of Mr. Cor­coran
that the only contract the
Social Committee entered with
Mr. OlCo"," by hi. purclwe of
the tickets was that a concert
with Sha Na Na would be held,
and this contract was fuHiUed.
Mr. Corcoran also stated that he
was unaware of the agreement
made with Mrs. Medve by Mr.
DiCorpo and that Mrs. Medve
did not leave any special instruc­tions
on the handling of Mr.
DiCorpo's tickets.
The Court denied Mr. OICor­po's
request for a refund on the
grounds that Mrs. Medve was
not a legitimate vendor of the

therefore, unable to make a c0n­tract
for the Social Committee.

Endorsem.ent
Since its founding three years ago the University
Voice has followed a policy of refraining to endorse can­didates
for the Student Government Presidency.
Previous editors, obligated perhaps by the newspaper's
philosophy of serving faculty and administration as well
as student interests, refrained from taking a finn stand
on campus issues which were considered either too con­troversial
or not of significance to the entire Universi­ty.
During those three years, however, the Voice has
remained a student-dominated pUblication, lbough it
attempts to remain true to its original purpose of being
a tripartite newsoaper. At the same time the power
and voice of the Student Government President have
grown over lbe past tbree years to such an extent that
wbat he does affects lbe entire University. So recogniz­ing
the Voice to be a newspaper with a staff composed
entirely of students and agreeing that student interests
are no longer merely their own, but the interests of the
entire University. this year's editors detennined to en­dorse
a candidate for Student Government President.
Each year tbe field of candidates for lbe Presidency
seems to strike any observer as singularly unim~
pressive. And 1973 bas proven to be no exception. Bolb
Mr. Harrison and Mr. Hasten, though their service in
Governmental positions is unquestionable, have run
lacklustre campaigns at best. They have failed to
generate any enthusiasm for their candidacies; they
have neglected to make their views known to the stu­dent
body lbrough personal appearances aud position
papers; one wonders how much they really care about
the office which they aspire. Should one of them win,
would their administrations prove to be as dull and un­inspiring
as their campaigns have been?
To be sure Mr. Ahlberg has demonstrated his
eagerness and enthusiasm to make his positions known.
But having come to Fairfield only last September as a
junior transfer student, he finds himself limited by his
inexperience and unfamiliarity with Fairfield politics.
Moreover, his ready affiliation with the commuters,
who seem to regard him as their personal spokesman,
can only lead to speculation that an Ahlberg administra­tion
would confine itself to the interests of one group.
which represents only 20 percent of the student body.
[n this year, then, in which the editors decided to en~
dorse a candidate, we find ourselves enthusiastic over
no one. We view Mr. Hasten's Widespread experience in
University affairs as a legislator, member of the
University Council. and former editor of the Free Press
and his apparent willingness to work WITH faculty
members and administrators to be among his most ad~
mirable traits. Bolb Mr. Harrison and Mr. Ahlberg give
the appearance of subscribing to the time-worn and
anachronistic philosophy of "confrontation politics" - a
philosophy which has long outlived any usefulness it
once had at Fairfield.
But even Mr. Hasten has demonstraled in the past
that at times he cannot escape from being a source of
irritation and annoyance to those with whom he must
deal as President. All too frequently as a legislator and
University Council member he bas alienated both
himself and his views.
If we were to urge you to support anyone, we would
say, "Vote for Joseph Hasten." The real tragedy of this
year's election is that there seems to be no one on the
political scene to whom we coulq, say. "We strongly en~
dorsa you." -Robert ByrD

·Enthusiasm. Lost?
Paget
The next Student Government President must face
several unpleasant realities. For the past two years the
Student Government has been controlled by persons who
lacked the ability and the desire to continue the reforms
needed by the student body. The most recent Student
Government President twisted the organization into a'
machine controlled by himself and _his allies. He then
never used that machine for anythingout""his own per­sonal
eggrandizement. The next President hopefully will
-return-this government to a course that will enable it to
listen and work for the university's student body.
Perhaps the new president can begin to regenerate the
enthusiasm for university progress that seems to have
been lost in the past two years.
Among the three announced candidates Kurt Alberg
seems to demonstrate the best capabilities. He has so far
shown the most interest {or the job. In the legislature, he
has demonstrated clear thinking and a willingness to
listen. The other two candidates have yet to show any
enthusiasm {or the task and no one bas developed a plat~
form of positive goals. The Student Government sorely
lacks a leader.
If any of the three candidates want the job let him
develop a platform of specific programs with which the
student body may judge his desirability_

With respect to the other can­didates.
Hasten says Ahlberg is
capable, but doesn't have a feel
for the students after only four
months on campus. "He hasn't
had enough time to adjust to the
rather complicated situation
here." He agrees with Harrision
on the purpose of the Student
Government. but disagrees on
the participatory policies of
students in University gover­nance.

This campus has witnessed. a crisis of leadership in the area of Student Govern­ment
during this just-passed year. We were treated 1.0 a fine exhibition of political
-.back-stabbing wbereby the participants succeeded in stalling any meaningful
legislation or programswhicb might have lent a credibility to Steve Mednick's ad­ministration.
The outcome of all this brouhaha was an alienation of Student Govern­ment
from the students and a magnification of the sophomoric activity which
characterized the Student Government all year long.
In February, we must fill this void in leadership when we elect a new President of
the Student Association. We must elect a President who will end tbe pretentious
politics now being practiced by the Student Government and above aU else we must
elect a hard worker who will gladly accept the drudgeries of that office. In myopi­nion,
Ed Harrison will more than amply fuUill those prerequisites which the next
President must possess.
Both opponents of Mr. Harrison, Kurt Ahlberg and Joe Haslen, have unfortunately
continued the present practice of idle rhetoric and searing condemnation of in­dividuals
within the Student Government, in their quest for the Presidency. Recent­ly,
Mr. Hasten used these politically ripe vituperative remarks in lambasting the
Mednick administration. He said, "We can attain the working of such a duty
(reforms in Student Government) by casting out the ego-insulated, corruption­inrested
hacks of the Mednick regime." This political sophistry represents all that is
wrong with Student Government today - a plethora of in-fighting, bickering, and seU­defeating
rhetoric.
On the other hand, Ed Harrison approaches this campaign with this one sentiment
in mind - return the Student Government back to the students. Steve Mednick,
former President of the Student Association, endorsed Mr. Harrison with these
words, "Ed Harrison will bring a new breed of people into the Student Government.
He appears to command an excellent rapport with the 'average Stag', who seems to
have been discouraged by some of the more pretentious people now presiding in the
legislature." If Ed Harrison is elected, that "rapport" will be the critical dimension
in unifying a hadly factionalized student body.

Two native specialists will

Mr. Hadara Sisay is at pre­sent

native of Gambia, of distinguish­ed
tribal ancestry, and fonnerly
an instructor of modem African

The Department of History

newly-appointed cbainnan of the
History Department of the
University of Bridgeport Dr.
Alfred Gertelny. Dr. Gerteiny is
a native Algerian of f'rench
ancestry, and is considered one
of the counry's leading experts
on the problems of North Africa
and the Middle East. At present,
he is a special consultant to the
State Department on African af­fairs,
and frequently is called
upon to make special fact­finding
lri'ps to North Africa for
the State Department.
The colloquium is a conver·
sation. Most of the session is
devoted to student participation
with the participants leading
the discussion.
As 1973 begins Student Government at Fairfield
University presently enjoys perhaps the least amount of
public esteem of any time in its history. Tbe Student
Legislature spends mucb of its time in endless, often
meaningless debate primarily limited tn matters of in­ternal
organization rather than to those of university­wide
interest. While the Legislative functions ineffec­tually
for the most part, it is the executive brancb that
most clearly reflects the malaise currently afllicling
Student Government. For it is typical of the present
slate of affairs that througbout the term of the current
chief executive, a small group of student-politicians
have run Student Government with little or no regard
for the wishes or opinions of the average student. This
political elite, more concerned with personal or group
interests than with the welfare of the public as a whole,
bas become nearly totally unaccountable to anyone but
themselves. Major decisions such as the allocation of an
$11,000, executive budget are made by a small clique in-­near
total secrecy. Thus is it any wonder that the Med~
nick administration has been marked by such oc­currences
as a fruitless "march on Bellarmine" and the
disclosure that the president had forged an entire set of
student government financial records while passing
them off as originals. Next week the annual election for
President will be held, an election whose outcome could
decide whether or not Student Government will be able
to halt its present slide into oblivion. The political elite
has already begun to tout certain individuals for the
Presidency. Yet a continuance of the ineptitude and
lack of accountability that has marked the tenure of re­cent
student government presidents will only be
furthered by such candidates. There is however, a can­didate
running for President who is not a part of any
political elite. Acandidate who is committed to making
Student Government responsive to all the students. A
candidate who if elected, would not continue the current
practice of making major Student Government
decisions in the snackbar surrounded by only a handful
of advisers. Acandidate named Kart Ahlberg. IT we are
ever to insure that Student Government finally begins
to fulfill its sole purpose for existence to serve the
students, lhen Kurt Ahlberg must be elected President
of the Student Association week.
• George M. Stone Jr.
As the second semester slowly unfolds, we find that a
number of changes have occurred at our university. A
temporary president has been appointed to replace Fr.
McInnes, talk of abolishing estimates has increased,
and although the enrollment has decreased, such con­veniences
as new mailboxes and shuttle bus service
have been added. One thing however has not changed,
and that is the consistent apathy and strong lack of in­terest
in all factions of university life.
Apathy is prevalent at all schools, and to an extent
is to be expected, yet not in such epidemic proportions
whicb can be found at Fairfield. There is little sense of
pride in being a part of the university community, in
fact, feetings are quite the opposite. True, the work load
is great, yet not so great as to deprive one of attending
an occasional game or going to a meeting once a week.
In fact, the only spirit on campus seems to be that
which is contained in a tall, brown~tinted bottle.
There is one exception to this theory, that being
basketball games. Attendance at the home games is ex­cellent,
almost phenomenal, possibly due to the fact
that the games are free and the student body deserves
to be commended. This is the first of many steps in­volved
in the extermination of disinterest at FUirfield.
In this, our twenty-fifth year as a university, we
should strive to rid the academic and social disinterest
which plagues our campus. Clubs and organizations
should promote new memberships so that all members
of the community may help it to function properly. And,
most important the social life of the university should
be improved so that the general atmosphere can
become more pleasant.
True, Fairfield University is not a school of universal
prominence, but if the people not associated with the
school know that Fairfield students are interested in
and have some pride for their school, perhaps the situa­tion
will chan~e.
