Fr. Fitzgerald also diM:ussed the
increase in the number or
applications for admission this
year. He attributed this gain to
Fairfield's greater degree to
recognition among prospective
students. "Fairrield is becoming
better known. We are attractive to
many students, providing they
hear about us."
Concerning tuition increases.
Fr. Fitzgerald expec.ts increases
every year as inflation continues
to rise. This year's increase,
however. is one of only 5.8%. less
than the increase in the cost of
living; Fr. Fitzgerald would like to
limit future increases to about that
level.
Areas.f Aduevem_t
Reflecting on the past year, Fr.
Fitzgerald felt that his greatest
achievements were in the areas or
budget planning and control. He
also believed that he had managed
to avoid serious misunderstand·
ings and had developed increased
trust around the University.
He cited the slow progress in
the University's fund-raising activities
as his greatest failure and
plans to devote more time and
attention to the intensifieation of
fund-raising activity,

Fitzgerald Looks Back
over First Year in Office
by_L.Maary
One year ago, Fairfield Univer·
sitys seventh president.. Rev.
Thomas R. Fitzgerald. S.J. paid
his first visit to his new home, In a
recent interview, Fr. Fitzgerald
reflected on his first year at
Fairfield and on the future of the
University.
IDitJal Report.
Discussing his first annual
report to the Board of Trustees,
Fr. Fitzgerald explained what he
felt is the University's role in the
development of a student's moral
and social growth. "We shouldn't
be indifferent to this matter,"
stated the President.. Wit is our
responsibility to create a positive
environment where growth is
possible. However. we should not
roerce or indoctrinate. but rather
leave the individual the freedom of
not growing if this is his choice."
When asked if Fairfield was
achieving this goal, Fr. Fitzgerald
answered with a smile. "Yes, but
we can do it better!"
The cultural growth of the
student, commented Fr. Fitz·
gerald in his report, is also
important in the maturing proeess.
But further growth or our cultural
programs remains impossible with
the present faeiltlies. "We simply
cannot do much more in the
expansion or cultural programs
without physical expansion," said
Fr. Fitzgerald, "The Oak Room is
not satisfactory for Art shows. but

Mrs. Bryan succeeds Rev.
Francis A. Small, S.J.. long-time
trustee of the university and its
librarian from 1952 until his death
late last month.
Mrs. Bryan began her library
career as catalog department
assistant with the Vale University
Library, served ali departmental
library cataloger with the Harvard
University Library. and returned
to Vale as subject cataloger and
supervisor of the catalog searching
unit.
The newly-appointed librarian
came to the university from the
Fairfield Public Library, where
she had served as assistant
lihrarian and order librarian.
She worked dosely with Fr.
Small during the various phases of
the planning and construction of
the university's Nyselius Lihrary,
which was opened in 1.968.
Born in Livermore Falls, Me.,
Mrs. Bryan was graduated from
the Farmington. Me.• High School.
She received a B.A. in Psychology
and was graduated with high
honors from the University of
Maine, where she was elCi:ted to
Phi Be~ Kappa. She subsequently

Without a new elCi:tion Campbell
stressed that no one would ever
know who had reatly won the
election: "If you don't care you
blew it. You blew it because there
will be so many people who will
never know."
The event of a new elCi:tion
would not be the fIrst time such an
incident took place in the history
of Fairfield politics. Two years ago
in the race for F.U.S.A. president,
tbe election was dCi:lared invalid
and was repeated because of an
excess of unaccounted votes.
In a lengthy and dramatic
speech, Campbell appealed to the
legislature and urged them to take
action, and to vote in favor of a
new elCi:tion. "The present el«tion,"
he stated, "had disenfranch·
ised 50 students and was therefore
invalid. If you vote no, it's a joke,
that's exactly what this election is,
it's a joke."
After a recess of 10 minutes the
legislature passed the motion to
re-run the election, by a vote of 24
to 2. The election will take place

restore such a credibility."
The legality of the presidential
election underwent more questioning:

locate 15 registered votes. Mr.
Monaco accounted for the loss of

a report from the Election
Committee, represented by Mr.

moved to postpone the agenda and

The benefits of such a program
are the creation of a more

Asked if they planned to continue
their streaking aclivitics, The

that a preeedent needs to be set on

by Carol ZaIuI
Since the beginning Oflhis school
year there has been a new
orientation in the resident advisor
program. This new system is
known as "management by objec·
tives" but in less technical lerms is
called "the workshop way of
learning," Under this system each
dorm has its own major objective
for which the resident advisorll and
coordinaCors all work. Each R.A..
however, is allowed the freedom to
develop his own program for
meeting this objective.
Mr. Edwin Boucher, director of
student residence gave an example
of how the program operates. In
Regia Hall he said, .....the goal of
the building is communication......

concern. "I am anxious to try to
spell out what sort of place we are
and where we wanl to try to go,"
he explained, "The annual Presi·
denlial Report was the flrSt step in
lhat direction. The work of the
Planning Commission is the
second."
The Planning Commission will
be an Ad Hoc group whose mission
would be to correct and build upon
the materials contained in the
annual report. This Commission,
which will develop a plan for the
next five to ten years. will consist
of (acuity, administrators and
sludnels,
CocuI-ieetiM Eue.tial
In particular. Fr. Fitzgerald
plans to persuade the dllfertnl
constituents of the University to
work together more easily. This
can be seen in the recent decision
to allow students to sit on the
Board of Trustees' Commiltee on
Student Allairs and on the
Planning Commission. Fr. Fitzgerald
also placed more emphasis
on the role of the University
Council in University governance.
Above all, Fr. Fitzgerald believes
that improving communicalion
is essential. '" plan to submit
an annual report every year," he
concluded, "aa well as sending a
letter every few weeks to the staff
and (acuity and a report in the

replied. "There is no poinl in using
elaborate systems in lhe dorms
unless people are prepared to live
wilh them. As it is. we cannot.
make people accepl fairly simple
forms of security such as locking
fire doors at night.~ ......- Though Fairfield baskelball is
now televised, Fr. Fitzgerald does
not believe that the University is
truning into a "jock" school. "I
don't think everything revolves
around basketball," the President
said. "However," he continued, "it
is good to have a varsity sport that
becomes a focal point of interest in
the whole community. I think we
have a fine team."
Speaking of the character of
sludents. Fr. Fitr.gerald found that
each class seemed more distinclive
today. "I find it hard to identlly a
consistenl trend from year to year
and in one direction."
When asked to commenl aboUl
FairfK!ld's "lack of tradition." He
felt that this was inevitable in such
a young school "This can be an
advantage," he believes, "beause
it makes it easier for us to change,
if we think something new will be
better." He found the slreaker
trend.,acrOllS the country amusing,
"It reminds me of such collegiate
pranks as swallowing goldfish
when I was a student, I don't take
it too seriously, though."
Fr. Fitzgerald is still pondering

To the EdJtor:
This lelter is in relation lO lhe
election-reelection vOling for Slu·
dent Association President. I am
lotally appalled thal the Legisla·
lure ealled for another election. I
read their reasons for it and in my
opinion. there is no valid reason
for a reelection. If there was any
question about the polls dosing
early or a Dumber of votes being
uDattOUnt.ed for, it should have
taken place before lbe actual
counting of the votes occurred.
There have been rumors ~u!
ating that many members of the
Legislature were going to quit if
Tony MixcU8 was elected. Well. I'd
like to remind them that. they took
their position with the ideas of
.-orIr.ing for the SludeDl body and
should badt up their leader to the
fuUest. exte.nL If tbey felt 80
strongJy against Mixcus they
should have resigned their positions
right after the primaries.
In my opinion. this lype of

--Letters to the Editor-Election
Contest
To tile editor:
The Student Legislature bas
passed a motion to hold a new
election for President of the
St.udent. Association. Grounds for
the new elect.ions are the fact. that
the polls were dosed by the
election committee at 4 p.m., a half
hour earlier than advertised. Since
the voles had not been counted at
the time, there was no way of
knowing whom the early dosing
would favor. 80 the question of
manipulating the election does DOt.
even eater the picture. The
election should have been contested
immediately after the poIJs
dosed not alter the outcome was
announced. The reason for the
so-ailed disputed votes was that
the eleetion committee used
outdated eomputer sheets, sheets
that did not include the names of
new lransfer or exchange students.
When these students
presented their 1.0.'s. the committee
allowed them to vote.
The victory by Tony Mixcus was
a narrow one. Yet. as narrow a
victory as it was. Chris Campbell
is not c:ontent to lel lhing lie. He
will grasp at any slraw to save
himself from losing again. In an
emotional speech before lhe
Legislature, Mr. Campbell Dew off
the handle several limes, pounding
on the lable, throwing a cigarette
in disgust and causing emotional
upset among certain individuals in
lhe assembly. During these
outbursu. Tony MixCU8 kept calm
and relained his presence of mind.
Mr. Campbell made a strong
emotional appeal to the assembly,
relying on sentiment rather than
reason.
ts this the type of man that
should be in charge of I5O,OOO?
Sound decisions should be based
on fatl.s and reason, not on
senliments and emotions. The fact
is lhat. Tony MixcU8 won the
election: Now he has to go through
another election to win a position
already his. Chris Campbell wailed
until after the returns to eontest
lhe election. Now he is awarded a
lhird chance to gain whal students
have denied him.

The interim tietween the meeting and tomorrow's
polling time should have given us ample opportunity
to reflect back on the situation, set emotions aside,
and respond rationally,-either in the light of Initial
campaign events or on recent impressionable
occurrences. Depending on how you feel either
candidate can have an advantage. '

Good Turnout
Po*lling*' H*ou*r.: *
9 a.DJ.. - 6 p.DJ..
With what you know I believe and feel, everyone
must be present tomorrow to vote. A turn-out
comparable to last week's 1300 mark is essential to
make effective the decision rendered by the
legislative body. If we must, give it another chance'
by voting, we will be able to hold the laglslature'~
contention of 'electing the right man.'
Tomorrow Is another election. Again the school
has the chance to elect a Student Association
President.
This case, how8Y8t", Is special. Not often Is an
election contested on grounds that it was poorly
managed. But the legislature meeting of a week ago
decided by an overwhelming majority to conduct
another match. Now, we must do it all again.
?ur campus grapevine has taken care of conveying
to individuals any news they wished to listen to. To
restate them editorially would serve little purpose as
half would readily agree while the other half would
find fault.

Consider
f Statement I
The call for a reelection by the Legislature is completely ridiculous. The reason that
I resigned as Elections Committee Chairman is because I refuse to be again subjected
to all kinds of criticism and abuse concerning the election and my part in it. The main
reason for the election not running so smoothly was the lack of cooperation which was
exhibited by David Monaco.
Concerning the hours of the' election, Mr. Monaco and I discussed the matter and I
told him that the hours would be from 9:00 to 3:30.
He then suggested that student teachers would not be able to vote since they
wouldn't get to the polls on time. I then suggested absentee ballots to Mr. Monaco.
The day before the election. Mr. Monaco told me that absentee ballots were not
provided for in the Constitution. I then agreed to change the hours from 9-4, to give
the student teachers a chance to vote. I posted two signs Monday, February 11, in the
corridor of the voting tables in the Campus Center. The hours posted were 9-4 p.m. I
noticed signs up stating hours were from 9-4:30. Mr. Monaco admitted putting them
up without any consultation with me. This same attitude was exhibited throughout
the primary and the election by Mr. Monacoi that of total uncooperation.
The second objection which seems to come up is the difference in total names
checked off for voting and total ballots cast. This can be explained very easily: as
people came up to the voting tables, they frequently went to the wrong worker. i.e.
each worker was assigned a certain number of letters in the alphabet, indicated by
signs posted in the board directly behind each person. Thus, the worker gave the
voter a ballot and called out the name of the voter to the correct worker to be checked
off. This was done in the interest of speeding up the voting process. The correct
worker may not have heard the name of else have forgotten to put it down. This may
be attributable to human error; this is why I recommend that the next election be run
by computer cards with the computer doing the counting.
Concerning the counting of the votes, Mr. Monaco. Eileen Manning, Clare Carney,
representatives from the Campbell camp, Joe Linnehan. a representative from the
Mixcus camp. Ed Harrisonand myself (\11 took part in the counting of the ballots. They
were counted twice and each time Mixcus won, although by different margins; again
attributable to human error. [Just for the reeord, everyone in the eouatinl' roOm
voted for CampbeD, except for Joe Linnehan, thus virtuaUy eliminating any
favoritism toward Tony Mixeus.) .
In concluding, I think the major reason (or the legislature's calling for a re-election
is that the majority of the people in the legislature didn't like the initial results. They
figured that the results were too close and that a re-election was the only way to give
"their man" another chance to win. As (ar as rm concerned, Tony Mixcus definitely
won the election and I think it is a shame that he must win again to become President.
Unless the Student Government accepts my suggestion of using the computer to
count tbe votes. 1 pity the next Elections Committee Chairma~. Maybe this time
Campbell will win, and then aU the "big shots" in the student legislature will be
satisfied. Maybe a third election will be necessary. That will be determined after the
results o( the second election.
To lite Editor:
Members of the senior class ean
remember the fl&KO of room
sign-ups during their freshman
year. The "lirat eome. lirat serve"
policy involved an all night vigil in
Loyola lounge if ODe was to get a
decent room. The lottery system
whieh replaeed this was a vast
improvement and benefitted both
students and administration.
There is, however. what we
eonsider to be a fault with this
system. If the opportunity of
retaining one's room from one year
to the next were abolished. the
resultant situation would be fairer
to upperclassmen and more
eonvenient for the administration.

undean lips. Then Paul tells us that Jesus has died for our sins. and
that be. Paul. is the last and least of the apostles. is in faet unworthy
of the very name apeetIe beeause he has perseeuted the Chureh of
God. And in the gospel set!ne from Luke (5:1-1l) Peter, seeing Jeaus'
extraordinary power over nature. begs him to depart beeause he.
Peter, is a sinner.
You will notice that in all three uses it is beeause of an experience
of the divine that these men beeome aware of their own sinfulness.
Their meeting with God is like the eoming of the sun's light into a
darkened room. Without the sun's light the room's dust remaine
hidden. but when the light enters the dust is revealed. It is in the
experienee of God's holiness that man grows eonseious of his own
dust. of his own sinfulness. It is the eontrast that gives awareness, the
eomparison that reveals t.he differenees. And that is why it is the
saints who are the ones most eonseious of their own sinfulness. Their
greater experience of God has produced this awareness. And if we are
not very aware of our sinfulness. the filason must be that our own
experienee of God in Himself. in His holiness, is so weak.
But sinee this light produees sueh a black result, a eonseiousness of
our own sinfulness. why should we let it in? Wouldn't it be bet.ter.
easier at least.. to avoid it? Let us avoic;l meeting the divine so that we
ean live in our native darkness without even being aware that it is
sueb.
Unfortunately that isn't possible. The fact that we are eonscious,
the fad that we know good and evil. love and hate, the fad that we
have to live responsible for ourselves--all these fads tell WI that the
light. of God is present in us already. and so there is no possibility of
avoiding the light entirely exeept by annihilating ourselves. As long
as we ehoose to live, we eannot avoid the light. and that also means
that we eannot avoid seeing and reeognizing our darkness as sueh to
some degree or extent.
But what. is pouible is a refusal to walk a little mOI'e into the light.
to grow in eonsdousness of God and therefore of our own darkness.
We ean refuse to beeome mOfil eonsdous, more responsible. We ean
refuse to beeome more lightsome and loving. And this refusal is a
ehoiee or grealer darkness. It is sin. It. is personal stagnation whieh
then beeomes regression. That is. when one knows there is light to let
in but refuses to let it in. then he already knows he is eoneealing
something. and so his ehoiee of eoneealment is a seeond ehoiee for
darkness. When one eould walk into greater light but refuses to do so,
bis darkness is more eonseious and thefilfore deeper. We are
reminded of what John says at the beginning of his gospel when
speaking of Jesus as the Word: "In him was life. and the life was the
light of men. The light shines in the darkness. and the darkness has
not overeome it." (1:5)
The darkness has not overcome it. We should make that a prayer
for our own lives. We have the 8S8uranee of the gospel that darkness
bas not overeome the light. We know that is true. We ean never
totally esc:ape the light and darkness of our human situation. But
what we want to pray is that the light will become ever stronger in
the different rooms of our lives. and that we walk ever more into the
light and away from the darkness. ever more into the ways of love
and away from those of hate. And the Lord will teaeh ea.c:h of us what
that means in his own ute if we are open to his teaehing.

The editorial mentions that
voting irregularities were involved
but fails to explain them in any
depth. The real irregularities are
these: The polls were supposed to
be open from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
However. the polls were closed at
4 p.m. thus denying numerous
students their voting rights
(witneN the petition which demonstrated
that faet). If that wasn't
enoguh. 12 Yotes were unaccountable
in the final count. In addition,
the final tally reflects only a
partial recount of the dorms 00
campus and there was a large
inconsistancy between the two
eounts...(eomplele and partial).
Since the election has been
invalidated by both the legislature
and the Student Court. it would
appear erroneous to term Chris
Campbell "the defeated candi·

term as his "poor attitude", is not a
solitary emotion, but it is shared

Photography Exhibit Hangs in LilJrary
An exhibition of photography by
Hugh R. Smith, featuring blackand
· white still life and landscapes,
is currently on display in Fairfield
University's Nyselius Library.
The exhibition will include four
40" x 40" works, touching on
anchors in Southport harbor. a
New England church steeple. the
Grand Tetons. and youngsters in a
pick-up hockey game.
Two other works by Mr. Smith.
two horses on a ridge in a morning
mist, and anold vintage yawl in the
Mystic River, will be displayed on
40" x 18" prints.
Most of his works. on a wide
variety of still life topics, will be
shown on 11 inch square prints.
Mr. Smith, who was born in
Worcester, Mass.. and maintains
his photography studio on the
property of his Burr Street
residence in Fairfield. explains that
the photographic values of still life
compositions are accentuated by
black-and-white photography.
"Black·and-white enhances the
values and emphasizes the subje<:t.
whereas color can take over and
become the dominant factor in a
finished print," he explains.
Works included in Mr. Smith's
exhibition will emphasize the
unusual effects which may be
gained from the way a subject is
photographed. or the technique
used in the printing process.
"My photography emphasizes
honesty and truty-I try to see
objectively. my works are an
honest statement in scenes which
they portray on a wide variety of
subjects-such as wood piles,
anchors. antiques battes, sky.
water, a gasoline hose on a pier."

Topping Stag scorers against
Canisius was Rehn with 20 points
on a 7 for 17 shooting performanee
from the Door. Owen Mahorn was
just behind Rehn. hitting on 7 of 13
attempts and adding 4 free throws
for a lOtal of 18 points. Mahorn led
the Stags off the boards as well
with 5 rebounds.
Both Rehn's and Mahorn's fine
showing were offset not only by
Fogle's 35 points, but by big nights
from Kenny Kee and Mike
Roberts. Kee and Roberts garnered
20 and 16 points respective·
ly. Guard Jim Schofield put in a
good night's work giving out 14
assists and hitting for 12 points
himself.
In the rebounding department
the Stags were soundly trounced
by a margin of 41-23. Though the
team has improved its rebounding
ability as a whole tremendously
this season there still appeaMi lo
be a great deal of room for
improvement in that area. Rebounding
continually shows up as
a major statistic in Stag loses to
some teams.
Co-captain and playmaker John
Ryan had 11 assists against
Canisius. The whole Fairfield team
looked to be pasing off more than
usual which is a good sign. They
had a team total of 20 assists
against Canisius, compared lo only
