Having completed its task of
interviewing potentjal candidates
to succeed former
University President Rev.
William C. McInnes. S.J., the
Presidential Search Committee
met with the full Board of
Trustees last Friday, February
2, and submitted its final
recommendations.
Three Names Recommended
According to a variety of
sources close to the Committee
three names were presented to
the Board for consideration. The
Trustees will now interview the
three finalists and research their
qualifications further before an~
nouncing a new University
President.
Although neither University
spokesmen nor members of the
Search Committee or the Board

primary, which seemed to
generate little enthusiasm
among most students. Even the
three candidates pursued campaigns
which were lOW-key and
noticeably devoid of spirit.
The primary was also marred
by the failure of all three candidates
to submit signed
petitions supporting tHeir candidacies.
According to Nancy
Wilson, chairwoman of the Ele<:tions
Committee, the members
of the Committee agreed to
waive the requirement for
petitions. However, since only
the Legislature may amend the
terms of the elections code, the
Committee's unilateral action
threatened to delay both the
primary and today's runoff.
Only a special Legislature act,
approved Tuesday, January 30
and which affirmed the Ele<:tion
Committee·s actions, paved the
way for last Thursday's primary
to be held as originally scheduled.
Harrison Victory Expected

will succeed former President
Steven Mednick who is participating
in a political intern

Political CorrelpODdeal
To the shock and dismay of
most legislators, it was revealed
by Richard Canel. acting President
of the Student Government,
lhal former Chief Executive
Steve Mednick had overspent his
executive budget by $2,400.
Mr. Canel revealed this fact
along with a detailed budget
report of the present Student
Government finances compiled
by him and Treasurer Robert
Kunces at the Legislature
meeting of January 30.

According to the figures
released by Mr. Kunces, the Student
Government will have
51875, lett in the student Government
Tteasury following payment
of all allocated funds to
various Government
departments. Mr. Canel had estimated
there would remain
$8500 following all payments.
At last Tuesday's meeting
most legislators seem to be disturbed
with the executive
department's miscellaneous
payments totaling $2900. Mr.
Kunces disclosed that the miscellaneous
expenditure included
an S800 payment to the bookstore
for Dogwood '72 brandy sniHers.
a $1500. bill from the Robert
Welch lecture, $200. to Ralph
Nader for his lecture, various
phone bills accrued by the executive
departments which
amounted to $325.00, and other
back bills totaling f175.
In the budget as outlined on
this. page total expenditures involved
$36,383.30 as compared to
$34,000. allocated. According to
the audit released by the Universily
on January 21. 1973, the
University had collected $38,260.

Therefore, only 51876.70 remains
in the Student Government

February through May.

going to be in trouble. Not only
that, both Associate Dean
Murphy and Assistant Dean
Murphy should know about the
grades. since it's their job to advise
·the student. Part of the
reason for estimates is to show
what each professor has been doing
and to let the parents know
just where their son or daughter
stands. "
He added that the proposal
itself stems from the faculty's
apparent discontent with taking
the place of the parents. and
summed up the reasoning behind
his opposition to the proposal
with the idea that the outcome
would not be best served, unless
the student has a definite way of
ascertaining the true extent of
his progress.
Emphasizing his willingness to
give the proposal full consideration,
however, he suggested that
it should be indicated by each
student. when signing up for a
particular course, whether or
not he would want a mid-term
estimate. But he was careful to
note that such a survey among
students might give rise to many
new problems, and that these
might prove even more difficult
to solve than those problems
created under the present
system.

that the Board had appointed

According to members of the
Elections Committee no
students expressed interest in

by the next President. However,
the appointment will be subject

elude the conducting of meetings
with the top administrators and
taking care of any necessary correspondence.
Thus, the acting
president's main concern is with
those mechanical aspects of the
president's activities which
serve to "keep the wheels of the
University turning."
Though he does have the power
to initiate new actiVities, Dean
Coughlin stated strongly that he
himself would not want to. He
has, in fact, tried to avoid involvement
with anything new
since he feels that this is really
the duty of the regUlar president
only.
When questioned as to whether
the current lack of a regular
president would lead to any im·
pairment of the efficiency of the
University'S operations. he expressed
his confidence that it
would not by saying, "We have
an operation well-organized and
each man in the administration
can do his job on his own. The
whole operation, then, doesn't
just fall apart if one man
leaves."
Yet his role of acting president
has definitely affected his own
life in that "there are just that
many more minor items to cope
with." And his new role has also
shown him the various small, un·
dramatic duties which nonetheless
must still be performed,
as well as fostering within him
personally a more sympathetic
feeling towards the regular
president.
Viewing the proposed elimination
of estimates for all but
freshmen and others that request
them, he asserted his first
reaction was one of strong opposition.
"I think the kids are goIng
to lose somethlng because if
the elimination of estimates
means that the student doesn't

During an interview shortly

Rev. James H. Coughlin, S.J..
Fairfield's academic VicePresident
and Dean of the undergraduate
College of Arts and

his wiJIingness, though only on
certain conditions, to approve
the faculty's recent recommendation
of abolishing estimates
(or all students except freshmen
and those who want them.
"When an acting president
takes charge," Dean Coughlin
asserted, "a great many of the
past president's routine duties,
particularly hJs outside activities,

so that in certain areas it's impossible
for his replacement to

experiences of Milos. a 17year-
old trainee in a provincial
railway station during the German
occupation - seems slight.
But the station represents a
microcosm of the world; it is in
its detailed observations of the
station's inhabitants that the
film derives its richness. The
critic John Simon has written:
"This is a film where everything
works, inclUding that most
dangerous of devices, the shift,
at the last moment, from comedy
to tragedy. This piece de
resislance is a comic view of
Czech resistance to the Nazis in
which a bumbling youth
tragicomically comes of age in
sex and war."

A'Tasle of Honey
This British film was directed
in 1962 by Tony Richardson and
stars Rita Tushingham. It deals
with the I}fe and loves of a poor
girl growing up in the slums of
London. Stanley Kauffmann has
written about this movie: "A
great deal of this film Is touching
and none of it is boring. The
dialogue is lively, and Richard·
son has his chief triumph in discovering
a newcomer named
Rita Tushingham and evoking
from her...a performance that
takes the role from the appealing
theatrical into the privacy of a
child's secrets. She is startling
and thoroughly appealing."
Feb. Z8 (Wed):
The Wild Child
Francois Truffaud directed
this film in 1970. It deals with the
true story of a child who is found
wandering in the forest; he is
wild and savage-like. He is
brought to Paris where Dr. Jean
Itard takes an interest in the
case. Itard is convinced the boy
can be civilized and, with the aid
of his housekeeper, he teaches
the child to think and read. A
critic has writtten: "A moving

The Film Society and the Committee

happy to announce another fine
series of foreign films. This
year's program will deal with
youth and the various problems
which always seem to confront
the younger generation. Growing
up is never easy: It's hard
enough in real life, but somehow
a little more difficult in the
movies. Many "youth" films
appear each year, and usually
only several are worth seeing a
second time. We have selected
four films which have stood with
test of lime. Each one is a
recognized classic; each one
deals with problems which have
always faced the younger
generation. People of all ages
should enjoy these films. They
will Qe screened at 7: 30 p.m. in

cents for all. The foreign
language films are in the

Ballad of a Soldier
This Rosslan film was made in
1960 by Grigori Chukhrai. It is a
deceptively simple film: underlying
it are profound
statements and observations
about the horrors of war. The
hero of this tragic, poetic
"ballad" is an innocent young
soldier during WW II, who earns
a ten-ctay leave to go home to
visit his mother. On the way he
has many adventures which
seem small, but together they
become a cumulative lament for
the disorder, grief, and frustration
of people caught up in war.

journey through war-churned

This led to another problem;
the University allowed: girls to
leave trunks, luggage. rumiture.
etc. in the Julie lounge so that it
could be moved to a locked
storage room in Northwest. 1)!e
belongings were transported to
the Northwe$t Bike room, but
the girls were not able to pick up
and move their things until late
Monday afternoon, because no
one had the key to the Bike
room. This left many girls
without their sheets, towels,
clothes. and other generally
nec5S8ry items.
Also, the R.A.s were not reo
qwred to arrive until late Sunday
afternoon, which left the girls to
fare for themselves as to where
to get new keys and other
"moving" problems.
Finally, everyone was seWed
in. SO on Wednesday the %Jth (actually
Thursday the 26th) a12:oo
a.m., Northwest had its
"Welcome Home" fire drill
t raise alann) - quite an experience
ror the new dwellers of
Northwest II, since Julie Hall
had NEVER had a raise alann.
And they call this real-world living.
All in all. the University
handled this diUicult situation in
its usual inimitable fashion.

To the Editor:
Amid much rubble aod filth,
the "Julie Hall girls" were
relocated to Northwest II as or
January 21. This controversial
and generally unwelcomed move
was worsened by a number of
factors controlled. or rather uncontrolled,
by the University.
Primarily, the boys or
Northwest II were not obligated
to move out or their fonner
rooms until "anytime - on the
21st". Many girls arrived at
Northwest only to rind their new
rooms in a state or chaos and
ruin. This was especially tryi"l

The candidates for this year's elections for Student Government President are
now bringing their campaigns to a close. I have been struck by the differences in the
philosophies which seem to characterize the platforms of this year's candidates and
those candidates who preceded them.
When this year's Senior Class entered Fairfield, Albert Marani was the Student
Government President. The originator of a wora which has come to be bandied about
in every circle of the community - tripartite - Mr. Marini seemed unable to
transform the students' restless spirit into any definite and obtainable goals. Dennis
Gallagher then rode into Fairfield on his white horse, and the strike of Spring 1970
was carried out under his direction.
The liberties and the resolves which resulted from this display of dissatisfaction
by the Fairfield student body brought about much confrontation among the three
elements 01 a supposedly (in spirit, atleasl) tripartite community. The net result
seemed to be discouragement on the part of many with regard to the possibilities for
true equal interaction among the various sectors at Fairfield. Following Mr.
Gallagher's terril, Steven Donner, or "Dormant Donner" as many preferred to call
him, assumed the reins of power. Following a year in which some people cited the
Fine Arts .Department's Evenings of Music series as his most significant accomplishment,
Mr. Donner departed in a typical, uneventful manner.
Mr. Mednick assumed the Presidency after Mr. Donner, amid much talk of bringing
back to Fairfield the spirit which Dennis Gallagher had instilled some time
before. "Confrontation politics" became the name of the game again, but this time
there was no spirit motivating the confrontation. Steven Mednick's term seemed filled
with indecision and with unreaHzable goals. While purporting to be defending student
rights, Mr. Mednick's administration widely overspent its allotted budget. In
addition, the spirit of tripartite seems to have given in to the prophets of doom who
claimed several years ago that it bad no chance of success.
This year, the student sector of the community is presented with two candidates
who claim to be interested in working "for" the students in a governing capacity.
Little emphasis, however, seems directed toward the Student Legislature and its
role as a viable means of airing student interests. All too often Legislature meetings
seem to be futile and membership on the Legislature has come to be viewed with
amusement, at the .very least.
The question, it seems to me, is not to elect a candidate who will work for the
ludents as an emperor. The "hero" image once popular at Fairfield, the man who
;an rally the forces behind him as he marches in protest up to Bellarmine Hall, is
lOW absent. It is time for the President of the Student Government to work with the
,tudents and their elected representatives, not to rule as a dictator in a cozy political
circle of intimates. -Kevin Curtin
Harrison for President
Last week's Student Government Primary somewhat sharpened the race for Student
Government President. The students who voted rejected the most conservative
candidate and opted for the two that offer more progressive platfofl1).s. In this situation
the obvious candidate is Ed Harrison.
Harrison has run a low key campaign in relation to the spirited campaign of his opponent.
But he has had the courage to come out and say, "1 can't do this job alone
and I won't make false promises." This type of forthrightness is pleasing in the face
of the bluster of cheap promises of fonner years. Harrison also brings to the position
some experience for administraation. While professing a lack of expertise in many
areas, he seems to have the capability to appoint competent persons to the administrative
posts he will be asked to fill. His opponent, unfortunately, has continued
to associate his campaign with a particular group of persons whose togetherness
smacks of the cliqUishness the student government should avoid.
Harrison's plan to localize student government monies is quite sound. However the
prospects for bringing about his goal in this academic year are dim in view of the
fact that the government has less than 4,000 dollars in unallocated funds. However, it
is hoped that the lack of finances will not deter Harrison from beginning some badly
needed programs to regenerate lost initiative for real progress in the university. He
is quite right when he says studentsdo not have the power to change the academic
structure. But their power does lie in demonstrating the need and the desire for
change. These desires must be channeled in an organized fashion through the student
government.
Will Harrison succeed? That answer is unclear but presently he remains the student
body's best choice.
The Ball Bounces Both"Way~ ~
PresenUy in the midst of its winningesl seJlson in years, the basketball team has
generated-a degree of campus·wide enthusiasm which no other University activity can
rival. But the game's ever-increasing popularity should not be permitted to cloud the
apparent injustices which lie beneath mere scores and statistics.
As at many universities Fairfield's varsity sports, and basketball in particular, have
fostered systems whereby athletes are often tendere<I priveleges which border on
professionalism and are accorded to few other students. Members of the basketball
team, for example, receive not only free tuition, room and board, books, laundryI and
payment of fees, but other benefits sqch as spending money on road trips as well.
Moreover, it is no secret that a player in academic difficulty or one desiring a choice
room in one of the new dormitories will be .given priveleged opportunities to which no
"ordinary" student can aspire.
Strangely, the highest academic awards, Presidential and Headmaster scholarships,
offer only full tuition to their recipients. Are the material inequities separatmg the A
student from the basketball star an indi.cation of where this University's priorities lie?
What too of the students who serve in University volunteer programs with neither
recompense nor recognition? In many cases they give more of their time to activities
outside the classroom than the athlete does. Anti often their efforts, though hardly
headline news, are of more value.
To deny the importance and worth of basketball at Fairfield would be foolish. But to
glorify it to the point where its participants can, if they wish, assume the air of a
"priveleged elite" can be detrimental.
It is to the credit.of most of the players that they take part in the game because they
enjoy it and not because the injustice of the system affords them a status above others.
Has not the time come, though, when other University activities, often of a far more
worthwhile character, should be accorded equal prominence and recognition?

Last week at the Nassau
Colliseum in Uniondale, New
York, the Stags skated to a 3-2
loss to Nassau, prior to an NHL
between the Chicago
Blackhawks and the New York
Islanders.
The Lions of Nassau opened
the scoring with a goal in the
first period. In the second
period, the Lions increased their
lead to 2"(), but Mike Redden
scored the Stag's first goal to
close up Nassau's lead. A
successful penalty shot by
Nassau against Stag goalie Ed·
die Palma gave them a decisive
edge in the match. The penalty
shot was awarded as a result of a
Stag defenseman throwing his
stick in an attempt to thwart an
oncoming Nassau offense.
In the third period, the Stags
attempted to rally with a goal by
Tom Cohan, assisted by Joe
Flynn, but the.team was unable
to produce any more goals, in
spite of the fact that they outshot
-the Lions by a wide margin. Puzzle

match that resulted in fights
both on the ice and in the locker

IcemenHold Down
Second Despite Loss
How does the OPPOSition defense against a vociferous, partisan
Stag crowd? Not too successfully, I would imagine, considering
Fairfield's HI home court record.
"It was so loud out there I couldn't communicate with my
players." protested Fordham coach Hal Wissel. "Even in the
timeout huddles I had to repeat my instructions several times."
Credit the big assist to ..."The turnout is the best I've ever seen,"
mentions veteran Tom Duffy, "and I think the key to the S!t0
crowds has been the institution of the athletic fee this year makmg
it easier for the students to become involved."
Winning is the Key
Winning is what its all about. It has a po.....er within itseU which
seems to draw everyone involved closer together. How much in·
volved can a crowd actually become in affecting the outcome of a
game?
"The Fordham game," said George Groom, "was the one in
which momentum really swung our way. Arter the ovation Ralph
Rebn got when he returned from the dressing room, we felt we had
a job to do, and we did it."
Psychological Factor
Applause, cheering and all-around support can many times affect
a player more than an emotion·releasing fan realizes.
Oh, When The Stags ... Go Marching. "One really becomes
psyChed when you rush from the locker room out into a packed gym
with 3600 fans pulling for you. The support is just fantastic!" Dave
Bradley.
Go Stags Go! "The cheers," adds John Ryan, "influence our
movement on offense, and when we find an open man and come up
with a great play, the crowd response is tremendous."
Fans Chant NIT
Some two thousand loyal Stag fans turned out to see last week's
thrilling victory over Detroit at the Garden. Ray Kelly, whose three
point play clinched Fairfield's win. talked about the chant started
by the fans near the end of thegame: the one containing those three
simple letters, N.J.T.
"Good cheering crowds attract the NJT selectors," he said in
reference to a pro-Fairfield article in Monday's N.Y. Post, "and
the support we received In New York City helps our cause a great
deal. ..
Cognizant o( both our perfect record at home and their quest for
an NIT bid, Ralph Rehn feels the recent home stand has given us
confidence: a confidence that will "help us prove that weare a good
ballclub, not only at home but also on the road."
Nothing Bllt Victories At Home
Winning seemingly has become a way of life at Fairfield. The
players not only want another victory, but the fans are beginning to
expect one every game.
As Jerry Lademan put it, "the factor of this home winning streak
has made each game become bigger than the preceding one."
Although popular following at home basketball games, receives
no recognition in the "official scorebook," both Fairfield and their
opposition are aware of it. With five of the remaining eight games
in the F .U. gym, the Stags should have the advantage, over their opponents

The foul shooting in the half was

did have a lead in the second half
of about five points, but the

Bob Maroney and Corcoran led·

rebounds kept the Stags in the
contest. The ten offensive
rebounds by the Jesuits from
Rose Hill and the 14 turnovers by
the red and white from Fairfield
County was the main reason why
the Baby Rams had the lead (as
little as it was). Steve Oiaz led
the Jr. Stags attack with a
perfect &6 from the field for 12
points.
In the second half, Fairfield
came out and cut down on their
turnovers and did some rebounding
to win the game. Herb
Rhaburn led the squad with ten
points in the half. The Stags
were 13 for 'n from the field
while the Rams shot 6 for 20
(which is like being caught in a
desert, disastrous) The turnover
situation reversed as the Rams
couldn't handle the gall and turned
it over 12 times (as to 6 in the
previous stanza). AI Dunker and
Kevin Carlesimo led Fordham
with Z3 and 10 points, respectively.
Rhabum and Diaz both had
14 points and led the Stags to a
61-54 beating, as the Stags made
lamb-chops out of the Baby
Rams and used the cadaver to
wipe their hoofs.
Peacocks Slighted
The game against the Baby
Peacocks of St. Peter's was a
colorful game (pardon the pun).
The game was nip and tuck
throughout the game, as the
birds from Jersey City had the
37-35 half time lead. This was
due to one main factor. St.
Peter's shot 17 -22 (Brian Corcoran
being 9-10) from the foul
line. while Fairfield shot only&12.
Leading the Stags was Herb
Rhabum. who had 15 points and
Walt Hutchinson, who had 8
rebounds. Brian Corcoran led
the "Chicks" with 13 points. Turnovers
were even with St.
Peter's having a 14-13 lead In the
lOWly category.
The second half saw the lead
switch back and forth. Joe
Morina led the attack with a
·.blistering 7-11 from the field and
Hutchinson with 11 rebounds.

George Groom's jumper three
minutes into the game put Fairfield
on top, 5-4. From then on,
especially in the second half, it
was not a question of who was
going to win but Fairfield by
how much.
Although the Peacocks held a

of 27-18, the Jersey team shot a
