There is something wrong. something terribly wrong.
While we Americans spend fifty million dollars a year on
reducing piUs. the rest of the world is starving to death. It
is estimated that ten thousand people die each day because
of huner and that in the course of this year sixteen million
people will die of starvation. How can we go on eating
without looking at those who have nothing to eat? We must
do something,
As a small beginning we ask that the students of both the
university and the prep give up lunch on Tuesday, the 7th
of May, and give the equivalent amount of money to Project
Relief or to Oxfam-Ameriea. organizations set up to help
the peoples of Africa. Other schools in the country are doing
this on May 1st. We thought we needed more time to arouse
interest. At Wellesley College in Massachusetts the
students ate meatless meals for two weeks in order to
contribute to this cause. We hope the modesty of our own
efforts will make it possible for all to take part,

these workers are employed by
the University so there is no
question that none of them are

their work for the Macke

It's the same situation as young
people working at a MacDonald's

Since this is the final VOICE for the 13-14 academic year, it is a
good time for the out·going editor to acknowledge some of the more
outstanding feats of accomplishment that went into making the
VOICE the newspaper it was.
The longest story.in·a-continuation·series goes to last semester's
sports editor and this semester's partisan, Tony Mixcus, lor his Stag
Sideline coverage of athletic facilities on campus. Over a lour issue
span Mr. Mixcus managed to rack·up 94 column inches on his subject.
Thanks Tony!
The Security department finished an undisputed first place for the
most news·and·fea ture-space-devoted·t.o-a·single-department category.
During the entire year, it stacked up a total of 364 column
inches, including a major feature and a fair share of pictures.
Congratulation and thanks, Mr. Barrett; your department is an
editor's security!
Among the staff members who accumulated the most column
inches are Joseph Wilkinson and Mike Moehlman. Joseph, in hIS
consistent service, accounted for 180 column inches, mostly reviews.
That's alot of plays, Joe! As for Mike, the VOICE will certainly miss
you after graduation. Mike receives the top award for a contributing
staff member, contributing 225 1/2 column inches this year, in
addition to 45 unpublished column inches. Mike also holds the staff
record for full page features; he has three to his c:rediL Mike. how did
you do it. especially all on Friday?
The Chaplain's office is cited for a special award for supplying the
VOICE with 145 column inches of material. all sermons. The sermons
also helped the VOICE staff who worked on Sunday evenings to read
the homily as it was being presented down the hall. Since we couldn't
attend mass, it was the next best thing. Thank you, Fr. Finnegan.
Specific stories which occupied the most space indudes the FUSA
election series, totaling 105 column inches and 6 pictures. WVOF and
its appearance on the FM bands aceumulated an even 100 inches over
Lhe shortest period of time.
SLreaking, however, finished with a modest 35 inches while the fuel
crisis accounted for 125 inches, as well as two major features and
numerous cartoons_
The longest letter to the editor award goes to Harold Mullen '52 for
his correspondence concerning the recent undertakings of a Fairfield
senior. And as a point of information, letters \() the editor accounted
ror about one-tenth of the total copy that appeared this year in the
VOICE.
All in all, it was a good year. Congratulations to all you Winners,
keep up the good work next year.

think it it great that we have mens

when all FOUR courts have to

Members of the Class of '74: when wat it you first realized
that you're a senior, about to graduate from Fairlield?
Perhaps It will be tomorrow, when you enjoy a day off while
underclassmen struggle along with next year's registration.
Or, maybe It was around room sign-up time, and you
remembered back to the good old days when it was all night
in line In Loyola lounge for that room in Campion. Well, If
you have an underclassman roommate, I guess you could
have turned to him and truthfully have said 'I don't have to
worry about that anymore' as he pondered over his dorm
lottery number!
What about post..grad exams? You surely began to realize
the end was near when the GRE's and LSAR's took their
stand in Xavier. And Interviews, thinking about how it will be
working that 9-5 job, 50 weeks a year; no more three month
vacation for at least twenty years of loyal service,
Ah yes, to be a senior, not haYing to worry about
bookstore lines next year; gelling away from continuous
cafeteria meals, and moving four times a year between home
and home. Sound good?
But what about the things you'll be leaving behind? The
shouting rumbles In the quad! Dorm beer blasts, goofing
around until 2:00 a.m. Hanging in the Stag-Her Inn or
traying down the campus slopes. It won't quite be the same.
It might be the football player who first fee4s the end of a
four year era as he plays his last game. Sometime this week,
the senior glee club members will realize it at their last
concert. I realized It Sunday evening when the year in review
section was being compiled. It all seemed too early, but it
was my last VOICE.
Yes, the intolerant line may be gone, and the bothersome
procedures may be over, but somehow, we'lI miSS it all in
our own special way.
Mi~~~s and peoPletic~ ,
by Kurt Ahlbofg
President Tony Mixcus is not a politician. He never said
he was. So when he harangued the legislature at its' April
23 meeting, many people in attendance were affronted by
what he said.
Tony was perturbed at the legislature'S consistent habit of
requiring, not requesting, that the executive undertake
eenaln measures, and Its' hindrance of the executive
bureaucracy. Perhaps Tony was wrong in his choice of
tactics in addressing the body in this manner. But any of the
politicos in the legislature, myself included, know the
body's real function.
Platitudes about democracy and representative government
aside, the legislature is meaningless. We deal with
trivialities, passing and repassing mane House Rules,
glorifying past politicos and condemning others and
engaging In quite useless verbiage. We rubber-stamp fMJfY
appropriation without question. It is quite accurate to say
that we are "do-nothing poUticlans" who get on our
high-horses. making statements that are "politicaUy ripe".
In other words, the legislature provides a forum where a
handful of politicos indulge in attempts at godification.
Self..glorificatlon is the means to this end. We dominate
debate, Introduce usetess bills, chair committees. Yet it is
ironic that those of us who so ardently "encourage" greater
participation by the students in their Student Government
are the same few who have the biggest mouths and egos.
Perhaps atl of this Is due to the last election. The
Mh(cu~pbell contest so factlonalized this campus that
consensus became Impossible. Thus, the legislature has
little more to do than get on Tony Mlxcus' back in subtle
ways. Requlrtng him to undertake a Teacher Evaluation, the
merits of which are debatable, is one. Another is by refusing
to approve the position of Social Coordinator.
To add insult to Injury, other high-horsed politicos
accused Mixcus of squandering our money. It's true that a
few concerts were losers financially. But where were these
concerned people when hundreds of dollars were spent for
the self-gratlflcatlon of a handful in the Harrison regime?
Rememtle< Stool< and Brew? Rememtle< the personal loans?
Meager sums, perhaps, yet they evidence the highest form
of moral turpitude. Yet these demogogues in the legislature
got all flustered when Mlxcus decided to go ahead with
several concerts he was personally assured would be
sell-outs.
The fact that Tony faces all this criticism exonerates him,
though. Remember again the promise of "Peopletlc"? Tony
.. no politician. His Is an "_hie- Pnlsldency.
Administration Is his concern, not cheap politics. If his
public relations are Ineffective and his image is low, that's
fine. Tony is honest and straAghtforward. He helps people on
a day-to-day leyeL His approach is low key.
Therefore, the legislature deserves being reminded of Its'
uselessness. If It has nothing better to do, and it obviously
doesn't, than to coerce the President, then it has no cause to
exist.
A good friend of mine told me after the legislature
elections last fall that the legislature was dead. I finally
concur with that assessment.

WVOF: A Success Story
WVOF, the "Voice of Fairfield" began its FM broadcasting on April 22. Established in 1965,
the station had previously been running on an AM frequency, and spent much time and
effort in obtaining their 88.5 status. The station covers a ten mile radius from a tower on top
of Canisius Hall. In addition, the studios in Regis Hall were renovated, including a record
library containing some 4,lXXl albums,

A Great Year for Hockey
The Fairfield Hockey team had a 31-2 regular season this year,
culminating when they won the MIHL Championship in April,
despite two losses during the playoffs. There has also been
serious talks concerning the feasibility of converting hockey to a
varsity sport at Fairfield.
Bare Facts .on Streaking
Fairfield did not go unnoticed in streaking this past semester. A "one night stand" by
freshman Jim Kane began the streaking season on February 12. A few nights later, over 100
people indulged in the sport in the Quad-a Fairfield first.

. .. and More Elections
It "was a hot year for politicians on campus. In the past academic
year, one legislature election was contested. Also. the Student
Association's presidential election was contested by the
Legislature after it was revealed that Ihe polls had closed earlier
than posted. Tony Mixcus won both elections by a very small
margin. The primary and two final elections broke past records
for voter turnout.
Charlie and the Bumps
Fairfield saw three new p"hysical features on campus .this year. !wo s~ bumps were
installed on the university's main road in order to aVOId automobile aCCidents. A small
guardhouse was installed in front of Berchmans Hall. "Checkpoint Charlie", designed
to assure more student protection during the evening hQurs, houSf'S a security guarrJ
each night from 11 p.m. until dawn to rhffk that .only. authorized persons (student~.
administrators, and cars marked with special university stickers) are allowed to enter
the campus after 11 p.m. The most prominent feature is the thirty fool radio tower
perched on top of Canisius Hall.

NIT: Second Time Around
Stagger Out at Stag-Her Inn
The Campus Center Snack Bar received a beer permit and was re-named Ine Stag-Her Inn.
As we all know, beer is served daily from 4 p.m. on. In addition, major renovations were
made. including a dropped ceiling, paneling and a paint job. Mr. David Olsen serves as the
establishment's permittee.
Once again, the Stags of Fairfield made the trip to New York City for the National Invitation
Tournament, after a 17-8 season. The team met a 66-6S defeat against the University of
Hawaii, before a crowd of 17,000. Two trains were chartered especially for the event, and
the traditional traffic-tying parade was also held. The season was also featured coverage on
Channel 8 TV, hosted by Dick Galliet.
Deeply heal~ controversies duryng the past year ranged from
guns to movies. The question of armed security guards resulted
in the employment of armed guards who have fired warning
shots on a few occasions. Among other problems, the classic
film version of King Kong was cancelled due to raciaJ
disturbances at the University of Bridgeport. Also, moves were
made to force the halt to X-rated movies which were being
shown in Gonzaga Auditorium.

Fairfield.
After the first half, Fordham led
11.0, and it was clearly evident
that Fairfield was not playing the
style of rugby that it has been
noted for. Some of the experts
seem to agree that Dogwood
Weekend was taking its toll on the
Stags. Butsubsequently. when the
Red Ruggers cleared their heads
and surted playing together. It
was no real contest.
Fairfield's first swre came on a

Dewey Egan, who turned the

moments later, Egan again deligtlted
the crowd with a tryon a
similar play. Captain Charlie
Morace converted an easy kick, to
make the score 11·10 in favor of

But the Stalot team was not going
to stop at this point. They were
awarded a penalty kick on
Fordham's 35 yard line and

which just e1eared the cros...bar.

followed with another error, which
the Stags converted into three

With only five minutes reo
maining in the game, the score

by Bill Mraz.. Rupp has ~ored 25
goals and has assited on Bothers
thus rar this season. Right behind
him in the scoring column are John
Hughes with 17 goals and 5 assists.
O.J. Mahaney with 16 goals and 6

goals. and John Megaw with 6
goals and 13 assists. Rounding out

Caron. Chris Satt-hi and Daryl
Stengle at attack and Joe Kern.
Ed Walsh, Bob Cappeletti. Paul
Connolly and Bob Hickscn at the

This year's season was a good
one. The goaltending of Mike
Caron and Tim Kiley has been an
asset to the team all year but
without the help of defensive
standouts Ed and Fred Perlak,
Tony Merola, Brad Bedell, and Ed
Boothroyd the club's record might
not be as good. With two games
remaining this season against the
Univ. of New Haven and a rematch

have a good chance to best last

defeats.
