opponents of federal
aid to sectarian schools.
Federal grants to church
schools, the legal complaint

to "compulsory taxation for re-ligious
purposes."

In a New York Tbnes report,
Mr. Leo Pfeffer, the special
counsel for the American Jewish
Congress, was quoted as
saying, "We hope that the Supreme
Court will tell us in this
case just what the first amendment
means."
The amount which the Department
of Health, Education
and Welfare has given to
church-related schools in the
last four years has been estimated
at $150 million.

The suit argues that grants to

Initial Gathering of SDS
Maps Strategy for Future
By DAVID DZUBEC
News Editor
"The success of the SDS on the Fairfield campus lies in the stupidity in the
Administration and its (the SDS•s) failure lies with us. its members!' These words
of Mr. Robert Ellis. organizer and leader of the SDS. sum up the role of the Students
for a Democratic Society here at Fairfield.
~ ~r ------------------------------------------------
On Wednesday, September
25 the first meeting of the SDS
of Fairfield University was held
with a turnout of almost 70 interested
students present. Slogans
such as, ''Take it easy but
take it," were seen as ooe entered
the meeting room in Canisius
HalL In an organized manner
business was carried on
with limited discussion and each
motion ended in a hand vote.
Mr. EDJa. main speaker at
tile meeUng, stated at tbe outset
that, "We are pl'llnarny a
radlcal activist croup. Our

is not truly representative of
the student body at Fairfield.
A reason was given for thi3 attitude
by Mr. Richard Otto,
"The administration at pre.>ent
must approve a candidate before
he can go before the elee>
torate. This censure by the administration
makes for a legislature
which is not representative."
Many other students present
expressed their disillusionment
with the ~?resent Student Government
because of its inetiee>
tiveness.
Porl Huron Staterneat
rests in national stalemate, its
goals ambiguous and tradition
bound instead of informed and
clear, its democratic system
apathetic and manipulated
rather than 'of, by, and for the
people'. All work is guided by
the sense that we may be the
last generation in the experiment
with living. But we are a
minority - the vast majority
of our people regard the temporary
equilibrium of our society
and world as eternally
functional parts. In this is perhaps
the outstanding paradox:

Widened Scope
In lieu of the now defunct
Student A c t i o n Movement
(SAM), the SDS is widening its
scope to every avenue of possible
student action on and ofr
campus.
The SDS was founded on a
national scale in June, 1960 at
a New York convention sponsored
by the League for Industrial
Democracy. However in
1962 the Port Huron Statement
of the SDS stated its difrerences
from this league and proceeded
on its own.
President's Address Keynotes
Informal Legislature Meeting
SAM evolved into the strictly
educational Free University after
much verbiage and debate
took place at its first few meetings
in September and October
of last year.

The first meeting this year
of the SDS was primarily organizational
to gauge its possible
effectiveness.
There was 801De dl8cossion

whether this CODitltuUon would

from the Port Huron

member of the SDS.

By THOMAS PERROrri
Phil Howe, President of the
Student Government, addressed
an informal meeting of the
legislature last Thursday night
in the Oak Room. Since there
were only one or two items on
the agenda., it was decided
that formal business be held off
for another week when everyone
will be prepared for a long
meeting.
Appropri&Uons
In his address, Mr. Howe
first covered the major points
of this year's budget. He concentrated
on two appropriations
which would give financial aid
to clubs and organizations on
campus. An $8,000 grant has
been set aside for aid on a first
come, first served basis. Also the
Administration has set up a
fund of approximately $5,000 to
be used by the film ~ociety, the
literary magazine and other
clubs.
Commenting on the agenda
for this year the President
listed as potential legislative
matters, ·the following: up-dating
of the Fairfield catalogue
by the activities committee in
the areas of courses, student
government and various other
departments; a review of the
campus organizations, also by
the activities committee; James
Cunningham's dispersement re-form
bill; an election code bill;
and the ratification of the University
Council.
Referring to the Student
Government Constitution, · Mr.
Howe commented: '-tbe new
constitution should be finalized
next week. We have been meeting
with Mr. Griffin all swnmer
and he has accepted almost
everything - there has been
very little disagreement. The
only changes that hav~ been
made were made by us."
Concerning the handbook, Mr.
Howe expressed his disfavor
towards a student handbook
committee as was used by the
previous administration. "Our
constitution recognizes only one
body to deal with the handbook,
and discipline and social codes
and that is the legislature."
He emphasized two points in
the handbook which he considers
major areas: dress and open
house. "As far as dress regulations
are concerned, things are
fine. A spot check last Monday

"Service bas proven to be of

action. groups on our campus.
Services such as transportation,
clerical help, and publicity are
of primary concern after croup
proposalS and plans have been
drawn .up for soclal actlon.''
Under the direction of Fr.
George Fitzpatrick, S.J., a
handful of students in the
Christian Action Group (GAG)
have formed what is strictly a
service organization.
The groups for which CAG
operates all come under the
heading of Fairfield University
Christian Action Program. They
are: Revitalization Corps;
Y.I.C.; Tutoring; Big Brother;
Long Lane; Child Guidance
Center; Juvenile Court; Southbury
Training School; Bridgeport
Rehabilitation Center; Dinan
Genter for the emotionally
disturbed; Kennedy center for
the mentally retarded; Fr.
Panik Village, etc.
For each of these groups, the
wide range of services which will
be coordinated by CAG include
transportation throughout the
week to the centers; clerical
help for the organization who
are hurting for stat! members,
and publicity, to promote interest
in the work ~!..g accomplishf>

In addition there will be a
newsletter for the Fairfield students
to keep them abreast of
social action. A group of students
will do research in
the outside conununity to determine
in what areas aid is
most sorely needed.
Llaslon
Lastly, they will attempt to
form an inter-university liaison,
a student-faculty liaison, and
eventually a Fairfield University-
Fairfield Prep liaison in relation
to social services.
The purpose of the liaison will
be to pool ideas and discover
new services, or new means of
service to the conununity.
Fr. Fitzpatrick conunented
enthusiastically, "I think we
have finally found a slot which
will make CAG a valuable organization."
As of the present,
he has recruited a "small group
of willing and able students."
He was careful to choose quite
a few sophomores in order that
he will have capable leaders and
a strong foundation to build on
in the future.
Structurally, the organization
is loosely knit. Fr. Fitzpatrick
said, "There is no charter as
such envisioned. We will exist
as long as the need exists."
A booklet, published by CAG,
describing all the social action
programs, will soon be available
to all students.
Fr. Fitzpatrick clarified the

Social Chairman Promises
'More Than Ever Before'
By BOB BURGESS
"So they raised the activities
fee, now what are they going
to do with the extra money?"
This question is being asked all
over campus this year since
the activities fee wits raised
from five to fifteen dollars per
year. What actually is being
done?
Social Chairman of the Student
Government Dale Swanson
has many plans in the
works. His first project will be
a Social Saturday, something
distinction between F1JCAP and
CAG:
FUCAP: Is the generic name
given to all social services
being performed by various
groups on campus. FUCAP is
no$ an organization; it is a
name which describes a number
of organizations, such as
YIC, Big Brother, Tutoring,
etc.
CAG: Is an organization
which will service such social
action organizations as YIC,
Big Brother, Tutoring, etc.
CAG operates more exclusively
on-eampus in effort to help the
FUCAP Program to operate
more easily and effectively offcampus.
which has been promised many
times in the past, but has never
seemed to come about. The first
Social Saturday is being tentatively
scheduled for Saturday,
November 2, at Marymount
College. There will be a Rugby
game against Villanova during
the day followed by a beer mixer
also at Marymount There
are also plans for another Social
Saturday for sometime in
the spring.
Big Name Concert&
Mr. Swanson said that the
Student Government is planning
two "big-name conerts" during
the year, one in each of the
semesters. The first one, tentatively
scheduled for December
5, will feature Peter, Paul, and
Mary. The Student Government
plans the second concert for late
winter or early spring. There
is no indiation as to who the
other "big-name" group wlll bt:,
but Mr. Swanson pointed out,
"We are always looking for a
group that will be acceptable
and enjoyable to the students
and allow the Student Government
to break even in the money
department" The Student
Government also has been
working hard in conjunction
with the committees for the two
big weekends and was instru·
mental in obtaining the Lettermen
for Homecoming Weekend.
SkiD~
A Ski Day is also being planned
for sometime in February.
The plans for the Saturday include
skiing all day and a beer
mixer during the evening. It
will be held with one or more
girls' schools at Powder Hill in
Middletown, Conn. The Ski Day
IS another idea which had been
promised in the past but failed
to materialize.
Also in the works for the
year are a series of lectures.
Three will be held this semester
and poss1bly three more
next semester. The speakers list
is not available at the present
time, but indiations are that the
speakers will be well lmown.
Mr. Swanson emphasized the
fact that the social life will be
greatly expanded this year and
added, "My objective Is to offer
the Fairfield University student
more than he has ever had before.
Now we have the money
to do it. It's the students' money
and we want to utilize it to the
fullest."

Poor Attendance
"Although disappointed at the
attendance, our determination
is greater than ever before,"
this is how Robert Murphy,
Chalnnan of the Students For
A Revision of the Connecticut
State Liquor Statutes summed
up his reaction to their conference
which was held at Fair·
field last Saturday.
Only half the schools who
had notifted the group that they
would attend the conference
showed up. However, Mr. Murphy
was heartened by the fact
that be bas received letters of
regret from ten schools. who
could not attend for various reasons,
but who indicated that
they are interested in the move
to lower the drinking age to 18,
and are willing to work for it.
The next step for the Students
For A Revision of the Con!lecticut
State Liquor Statutes is to
visit the colleges and universities
who expressed interest in
their program and speak with
them. Also, petitioning of the
people of the State of Connecticut
should be started by the
end of October.

The opening remarks to the
conference were given by Mr.

Then representative Stuart McKinney
of the 141st Assembly

"How to Change the Establishment

the idea that while
changing a state statute is not

accomplished with a certain

Parietal Polls Reflect
Approval of Liberalization
By GEORGE BRITTON
ln furthering its efforts to make Fairfield University a more
liberal Institution and to give the students additional campus freedom,
the Student Government has instituted new and "less antiquated"
parietal regulations in the dormitories.
Last year female guests could ------------
be entertained in the dorms
every fourth Sunday of the
month (other than major weekends)
from the hours of 1-5
p.m., provided the doors to each
student's room was kept wide
Launches
open. However, if an individual
student decided not to have
women in his room, he was still
subjected to Qle open door laws.
This inflexible policy did not
allow the student to keep his
door closed should he desire to
do so.
Students Decide
having the open house." At
present the poll is to be taken
every week but will soon be
voted on by Individual floors
to decide whether or not they
want the open house held every
Sunday.
If the floor vote policy is effected,
which it most probably
will be very soon in all the
dormitories, any Individual student
wishing that a vote be
taken on campus house policy
for any given Sunday must be
granted that wish. Some dormitories
already use the floor vote
~liey.
Annual Homecoming Weekend
The new regulations for this
year allow the students to decide
themselves whether or not
they want the floor open every
Sunday from 1-5 p.m., Instead
of only once a month. A weekly
poll in which the majority will
rule conducted by the floor prefects
will decide the open house
policy for any given weekend.
ExcepUon
The only exception to the
open house policy is Loyola 2.
The students on that floor have
said that their Jesuit prefect,
Fr. Mcintyre, S.J. has decided
that the students should wait
two weeks before a floor vote
is taken on open house. The
students have also expressed
that they are not satisfied with
this condition. An informal
STAG poll conducted on Loyola
2 Sunday afternoon showed
that out of 38 students polled,
38 voted unanimously in favor
of the open house. One student
polled asked rhetorically, "Who
would oppose it?"
By COLIN KILEY
This year the Third Annual
Homecoming Weekend will be
held November 8th through the
lOth and will feature a number
of entertaining events centering
around the Fairfield - Iona
Football game.
Mr. Thomas Ross, chairman
of the weekend, and his committees
have tried their utmost
to plan a weekend with many
diverse events to satisfy · the
different tastes of students. Mr.
Ross said, "the emphasis was
not put on making it the biggest
and best ever, but on making
it an entertaining weekend."
For example, The Lettermen,
who will be in concert
in the University gymnasium
Friday night, are a versatile
group combination who do a
little of everything. Finally Mr.
Ross said that he felt, "the
weekend is quite complete, so
I hope it goes over well."
Lettennen
The weekend officilaly begins
at 8 o'clock Friday evening with
the Lettermen concert. The
unique sound of The Lettermen
has contributed to music a
listenable and a creative sound.
The trio consisting of Tony
Butala, Gary Pike and Jim
Pike, presents a perfect vocal
blending to its millionm of al·
bum fans . . . to the tens of
thousands of college students
who see them perform ·'live"
annually . . . and to the uncounted
audiences of television
and the nation's leading night
clubs.
Since its creation in 1961, the
trio has appeared at more than
1200 colleges throughout the
country and are currently on
their twentieth cross-country
sellout tour.
Though the three days of the
weekend will be filled with
action and events, the focal
point of the weekend will come
on Saturday when Fairfield and
Iona clash once again. Fairfield,
ranked eleventh In the nation's
forty-three football teams will
try to make up for last year's
loss to Iona which is ranked
fourth nationally.
During the game, along with
half time entertainment, will
be the crowning of the Homecoming
queen. The queen will
be selected when all names and
pictures are submitted and the
student association votes on the
top five.
Display Contest
Also at the game will be a
new innovation. To counteract

So far the Government has

would not do so even if the Student

Beyond The Classroom
Outside of the classroom Fairfield is academically barren. Professors
realize that they are not bound by contract to supply the
student body with extra-curricular academic activity and act accordingly.
Some departments have been more lax than others in this area.
Last year the English Department broke the ice with poetry readings
and literary discussions. There have been sporadic attempts at init iating
similar programs in the other departments but on the whole
they have failed miserably in this regard.
The History Department has done little. The Theology Department
could very easily initiate programs dealing with the problems
of celibacy and birth control. The philosophers have also remained
noticeably silent in this area. The new catalogue reveals the existence
of other similarly silent departments obviously content in doing just
as much as the job demands.
Must an army of students implore the "ivory tower" residents
to come out of their self-imposed hermitage? A strong desire does
exist for such activity on this campus. We realize that such intellectual
pioneers will not be playing to a full house, but this is no
reason for discouragement. After all, how many of us read editorials?
On Pulling Together
Talking about student power at Fairfield is ridiculous. Unle~
some drastic change in student attitudes takes place soon, the fight
for liberalization being fought by a handful of very dedicated but
quite powerless individuals is doomed.
The problem is basic. Student unity doesn't exist here. Cliques
and factions are numerous and diverse, each seeking to make its
voice heard. In the end, however, no one is heard and it's "business
as usual" as far as the Administration is concerned.
The assininity must stop now. We know what we, as a student
body, want. More electives, liberalized parietals, smaller classes and
some type of on-campus weekend diversions are just the beginning
of a long list of necessary changes. Without student cooperation none
of this will come to pass. Regardless of what some members of the
Administration claim, no change is "imminent" on this campus.
The student body would do well to take a lesson from the unity
that exists among members of the Administration. There is a strange
regimentation of thought among the elders. They stand as a unit, a
granite wall against the disorganized efforts of the revisionists.
We like to think that .student cooperation is possible. Is it?
Can ,the Y.I.C., C.K.S., S.D.S. and the Student Government, just to
mention a few, recognize their common goals and work together t(\
accomplish them? Time will tell and during that time we are at the
mercy of the Administration.

PONDERINGS
Glassy eyed, concrete mouth agape, the fish face phantom
still lurks as overlord of the B.B.C. Black and bold stand those
same twelve letters announcing to all that the Campus Center
for lack of a patron saint is still the CAMPUS CENTER. Any
Stag owning four wheels and an engine invariably aims his weekend
machine for places unknown, while the freshman counterparts
are trying their best to lure the college maidens of New
York for that long walk around the pond.
Monday morning comes and unsteady hands, blurry eyes and
tired bodies gradually fill the corridors of Xavier and Canisius
Somehow it starts all over again . . . another day, another week,
another semester and another year.
Such has been the rhythm of life at Fairfield. It has been
altered occasionally by ground breaking ceremonies, periods of
bad weather and delays in building construction.
But basically, this is Fairfield University, or at least this was
the Fairfield I gladly left at the end of my sophomore year. r'. ··r!
evidently I picked a good year to attend the University C-:>!1,,~:· ;:t
Dublin. The letters I received in Dublin from fellow S '(l_;:r were
so depressing that even their stationery had frC\vns. ! ... ,.,, .,.-d
the grades at Fairfield were forced as \ow as the selling p:·'c;: oi
British sterling. (Evidently some professors saw their inte:Jectna!
investments at stake and decided to hoard the A's and B's to sell
at a later date). I understand however, that at least there was
some outstanding entertainment on campus - a professional magician!
His show must have been excellent for I see he waved a
pink slip and one hundred students just disappeared from campus.
His inspiration I understand led someone to try his own s!igM
of hand. It seems some unexplainable messages (not bearing the
official stamp of approval) appeared and re-appeared as the
mystery painter made his magical rounds.
Something happened last year In keeping with the occult
spirit of the time that I just can't quite believe. Perhaps it was
just an illusion, a surrealistic straw that I clutched at as I surveyed
Fairfield for the first time in a year. ·Was it Fairfield or
had the school I left a year ago actually disappeared? Was it ...
Could it be . . . !
The ivy was actually growing on the Campus Center. The
Rugby Club was going to have an actual field. And what was that
beautiful building, a REAL library? Expecting it all to be a
mirage I was about to pinch myself when I saw two students,
sans jacket and tie talking casually with a professor sporting (of
all things) a moustache. My disbelief redoubled. I was about to
re-eheck the address of the campus when I heard two studf!nts
discussing the unlimited possibilities of a bar on campus and the
practicality of parietals on Sunday. One of the students wearing
an S.D.S. button told the other he was really pleased with his
teachers this year.
At Fairfield. What had happened. It must have been magie
but then. Who was the magician? The students? I hear they
rallied last year in hope of a hat trick. The faculty? Some of
them seem to have enough enthusiasm to have purchased the
wand. The administration? Well it is their hat. I don't know who
was actually responsible, maybe all three; but I sure like the
trick. Some threw in a bunch of withered flowers and lo and behold,
why it almost looks . . . Like a University!

Congratulations
To the Editor:
lt is the distinguishing feature ot a
pollee state rather than a university that
its defenders tend to "overreact" to dissidence
within the ranks. The rather
one-sided knee-jerk reaction to the
"negative" attitudes expressed in the
first issue of The Stag is indicative of
the extent to which the minds of the
masses have been ''made right" by the
omniscient (and too often omnipotent)
proponents of intellectual euphoria.
It seems that it is acceptable to sll)'
almOIJt anything at Fairfield, if you say
it with a smile. But to be bitter, to be
angry, even to be serious about what
you say, is against the r ules of the
game. I, for one, am tired of the games
being played at Fairfield. The truth, as
the saying goes, hurts; and Fairfield
University will have to undergo much
pain before it even begins to live up to
its possibilities as an intellectually and
socially (no, gang, I don't mean mixers
... ) stimulating community. The first
steps toward the realization of these
possibilities will be taken by those who
dare to speak and write of the realities
behind the smiles, and by those who will
respond, rather than react, to criticism.
I congratulate Ttae Stag on its long
awaited entry into the battle to bring
Fairfield into the world of social and
intellectual reality.
Sincerely,
Bnlcle Schauble '69

Faculty Freshmen
To the Editor:
As a new faculty member, as strange
and unfamiliar to the workings of the
Fairfield campus as any freshman, I
was quite disturbed to read your editorial
of September 18. I was particularly
distressed by the nature of its sweeping
attack upon administration, faculty
and students. • In a way, I'm in the same unique
position freshmen find themselves. I
have little idea of whether these charges
are true or false. But whether they are
or not, the tone of your editorial has
done little to articulate your complaints
and still less to correct them. A properly
functioning university depends for its
intellectual growth upon the interaction
of administration, faculty and students.
This interaction requires deep reservoirs
of understanding, tolerance and mutual
respect, virtues that were certainly not
fostered by the inflarnatory phrases and
antagonistic tone of your writing.
A university administration does have
the responsibility to be imaginative but
an equal obligation to preserve ordered
and sustained growth through progressive
innovation. To call a school with a

New Directions
Lewis B. Mayhew is a middle-aged professor of education at
Stanford University who, cloaked in his mantle as President of
the staid American Association for Higher Education, made a
brilliant but ill-heralded speech at the Dallas Education Conter·
ence last summer on the absolute contingency of university restructuring.
Mayhew, who in his speeches and essays emerges as
a dignified figure of such rare intellectual mobility as to make
agitation irrelevant if he had only sufficient allies, gave his speech
in such a fashion that your humble columnist felt it broke down
into two realms. To this the writer gingerly attached as an appendix
the intellectual abortions known as his own opinions, which
the more sensitive inhabitants of Stagland may of course consider
optional.
Mayhew initially addressed himself to the heart of the probMr.
Magician(s). More magic, please, but don't turn thi.~
two points sound familiar, it may be due to the proximity:
1. "Colleges a re not churches, clinics, or even parents. Whether
or not a student burns a draft card, participates in a civil rights
march, engages in premarital or extramarital sexual activity,
!;ezomes pregnant, attends church, sleeps all day or drinks all
night, is not really the concern of an educational institution." The
b!ame for unrest lies at the door of university hierarchies assuming
this function.
2. "Behind every successful student outbreak stands some adr.,
ini .. t•·ator who exercises discretion without legitimacy." some
administrators blatantly Ignore student rights under autocratic
proc<>dures that wither before contemporary analysis.
Second, Mayhew prescribed <five universal criteria for college
discipline beyond which disciplinary despotism ensues, and couches
them in the belief that "Students should have the power of selfdetermination
over their private lives and the conduct of their
own group-living":
1. Cheating.
2. Plagiarism.
3. Misuse of Equipment.
4. Damage to Property.
5. Interference with Access to Campus Facilities.
• • •
Surely, any institution can thrive with stability on such a
basis. But the recent Fairfield handbook represents not a moderate
movement towards Mayhew, but a reactionary revulsion against
him. No one who was here last year can fail to notice the amelioration
of the anti-student persecution of the immediate past. But
the changes arc of a "meat, potatoes, and seconds" nature, with
the menu still a secret; the iron fist is out of sight, on condition
we still walk the straight and narrow path. The Administration
hedged on the alcohol issue and excised entirely the parietal provi·
sions so painstakingly worked on with an eye towards de-emasculating
the Faimeld male. And at this writing, the new Constitution
remains in a state of enforced limbo because its authors
dared to include a Bill of Rights.
What can be done? Future handbooks should either embody
Mayhew's five criteria or there should be no future handbooks.
A "Magna Charta" cnn be drawn up protecting the students from
the excesses of deranged administrators. The Credo of this university
can be replaced with a document at least sounding as if
it had been written after the invention of gothic architecture.
What can the Administration do? It can take this article seriously
and decide this school has no reason to exist. More likely, it will
decide this column has no reason to exist and assign its author
a ground-floor room in the pond. At least it could look up ''constructive
criticism" deep in it'> Funk & Wagnall'JO and conclude
this is it.

lministratlon has consistently failed tO recognize the
"intellectual resources" ot the college community as a whole.
Students at Fairfield are finally becoming just that and are generally
refusing to stand for the hollow promises, lies, distrust and

faculty is rapidly becoming an excellent one. Questions are finally
being raised in most courses, rather than in just the traditicnal
few. Humanistic maturity is finally coming to Fairfield.
The reformist students have consistently failed to recognize
the "intellectual resources" of the administration. One must realize
that the administration has a creative Intellectual resource and
potential. These resources seem, however, to be constantly channeled
away from the academic community and towards the (sic)
community at tl\e gates, fund raising and hollow promises of
things to come, not reforms now. Many students, including this
columnist, tend to view the administration as business-orientated

public relations men but we have a greater need for educational
reform and a sense of educational guidance. We must have an
administration at Fairfield orientated towards knowledge not
money, reform not the status quo, truth not deception. This must
be our goal. Without it, reform is but a hollow gesture of an administration
out to compromise everyone, students and bank pr~si·
dents, radicals and reactionaries. The administration must see that
it cannot placate everyone and must make the choice of the businessmen
or the students, public relations or the academic community.
One of the two must be prevalent. Today it is the former,
and we as students must make it the latter. As it now stands the
administration will hang itself Ol' be hung.

departmental chairmen, unimaginative

unrealistic.
A faculty member likewise should be
responsive to the needs and demands. of
students in and out of the classroom as
well as to the community as a whoie.
And if many are silent, perhaps the
i"logical and radical statemen's of th:>se
more vocal alienates them. There must,
it seems, be constructive alternatives to
silence on the one side and scree.:-hing
on the other. And as for the students;
there is -something to be said for be:ng
deeply involved in their educational experience.
Their later ability to alter the
direction of this world is likely to de·
pend on the intellectual skills and emotional

Perhaps before judging so many of

you should have considered the

Pessimistic Radicalism
To the Editor:
It seems that the editorial columnists
of The Stag have an unrelenting urge
to write essays of pessimistic'-radicalism.
No, I'm not "provincial, patholo~ically
conservative, or. beer-bellied." I
know it helps simpleton schoolboy radi-cals
to divide this university, and to a
large extent this country, into beerbellied
conservatives and intellectual
revolutionaries; thus facilitating their
simpleton perceptions of academic, social,
and political reality, but that is
one luxury I will not allow in my case.
I'm not that easily classifiable nor are
most Fairfield U. students.
It's not that I have anything in particular
against essays of pessimistic
radicalism, except that they become boring
after a while, but more importa11tly
they offer neither solutions nor constructive
criticism to any problp.ms.
("So don't read them," I hear someone
saying.)
There is Ilttle sense in going on;
many radicals have a way of being
self-righteously narrow-minded. Besides,
there were some excellent letters in
last week's Stag dealing with the same
topic. I just want to leave the Stag
columnists with a few thoughts. Sen.
Robert Kennedy saw the same situation
in many ways that Kevin McAuliffe,
Kevin Kelly, and others (including myself)
see in this country today. But instead
of exhorting the poor, the blacks,
the youth, and the disenfranchised to
disrupt conventions, colleges, and induction
centers or "go to the barricades,"
he offered solutions {based on facts),
constructive criticisms, and most of all,
hope, hope in our ability to peacefully
change for the better, by appealing for
a process of commitment" and involvement
in all and a submerging of hate
and mistrust while elevating latent qualities
of love and understanding in some.
Hope, gentlemen, is not something that
floats in the air. It is," like pessimism, a
feeling inspired by men, men like J ohn
Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Rob-ert
Kennedy, who were made of better
stuff than mere protest and impotent
pessimism. When will the editorial columnists
of th.e Stag stop waiting for
hope and begin inspiring it?

Mature Organization
To the Editor:
I would like to congratulate Robert .
Murphy '71 and his staff for the excellent
meeting held on the consideration
of liquor revision for the State of Connecticut.
People in the know on the
liquor issue have indicated that no approach
on revision has even had as much
chance to be approved as the one being
implemented by these Fairfield students.
Their organization is outstanding, their
approach is exceptionally mature, and
their influence is far reaching. They
have gained respect from those with
whom they have come in contact, and
they are a credit to their class.

Constructive Criticism
To the Editor:
I have never written a "lej:t.er to the
editor" before because I am a typical,
apathetic, complacent Stag. I pride myself
however, on the fact that I try to
be well informed. I read the Times,
Time Magazine, Newsweek, Esquire,
even Plaboy occasionally. But I :1ave
come tc the realization that a person
such a; myself can remain quiet for
only so long. Kevin Keliy's editorial in
last week"s Stag {Chicago Follies: Democratic
Convention) was the beginning
of my involvement.
I was not in Chicago during the convention
but I saw it on television. I have
a personal reas;,n for my political interests
(my namesake, an uncle, 1s a
Congressman, Democrat, Cleveland,
Ohio.) I tried to come to a conclus:on
on what really happened in the "Windy
City" last August. My conclusion: D:>n"t
take sides. Sure, we have a right to
voice our opinion, but if I were a policeman
on duty (to protect everybody becaus~
of Dallas, Memphis and L.A.) and
a bag of urine was thrown at me, I
would strike back. Mayor Daley is not
completely to blame; nor are the police;
nor, either are the yippies. The fault lies
on both sides and it is time now for
constructive criticism. This is exactly
my point Hasn't there been enough destructive
criticism in the past month concerning
Chicago? We are not going to
change what happened. If a person is
truly concerned, and so cynical of procedures
already set forth, should you
not spend your time trying to change
what you fear-of-anarchy think may
happen.
Thank you Kevin.

night, proved that the students
can be responsible about dressing
well." Approaching the subject
of open house he stated
that the student government
would only make sure that the
dorms were kept clean. .
In the final segment of his
address, President Howe offered
his recomendations for vari,ous
positions and appealed to the
governing body to support
them. To the position of
Corresponding Secretary, he
r~commended Joseph Rouseau.
To the recently reenacted Academic
Board he recommended
Kevin Kelly and his committee.
In making the selection, he expressed
hope that the board
would promote these demands:
that the theology and philosophy
requirements be lightened;
that the pass- fail system be
adopted; and that the fine arts
requirement be an option between
music and art.
Other recommendations were
given to George Rouell and
Drew Soltys for position on
the Community Service Committee,
established this year by
Fr. Mcinnes. This selection, he
stated, was made only after
consulting ·the heads of various
service groups on campus.
Stephen Kabosa and Richard
Makse have been chosen to
represent the student body on
the Bellarmine Committee, organized
to promote cultural
events. Finally the S tudent
Body President has assigned
John Crasback to the position
of intern treasurer. Former
treasurer, Jeffrey Jones had to

President Howe's c 1 o si n g
words expressed a hope that
the Student Government would
have a p.·oductive year.
James Ruane, representing
the Students for a Revision of
the Connecticut Liquor Statutes,
spoke for a few minutes
and asked for a vote of confidence.
This was not possible
because the rules had been suspended
- an informal vote was
given, however. After it was
agreed upon · that the next
meeting would be held tomorrow
at 9:00 in the Oak Room,
the meeting was brought to a

real intellectual skills, comitted
to deliberativeness, honesty, reflection
and activism as working
tOols. A New Left must include
liberals and socialists, the
former for their relevance, the
latter for their sense of thorough-
going reforms in the system.
The university is a more
sensible place than a political
party for these two traditions
to begin to discuss their dif-ferences
and look for political
synthesis.
A New Left must start controversy
across the land, if national
policies and national
apathy are to be reversed. The
ideal university is a community

in its effects on communities
beyond.

Young Derus Support
Anti ;War Platform
By DAVID DZUREC
Newa Editor
"Inunediate withdrawal from
Vietnam, black control of black
communities, redistribution of
wealth throughout the United
States and abolition of the present
draft system."
This is the platform which
the Young Democratic Club of
Fairfield University will SUPport
this year, with Mr. Craig
O'Connell as President.
I n a recent interview, Mr.
William O'Brien, member-officer
of the organ ization, pointed
out, "This platform will require
a new constitution which has
been submitted to the National
Democratic Party Chairman. As
yet this constitution has neither
been approved nor rejected."
Purpose: To Unite
He went on to say that the
purpose of this recently ~hartered
club is "to unite the sentiment
of those who feel that
neither Richard Nixon or Hubert
Humphrey offer a real
choice for the United States. As
for the upcoming presidential
election, it is ·highly doubtful
whether the club will endorse
Mr. Humphrey. We plan to
work through local primaries
and elections and also to unite
on campus the anti-war, antidraft,
anti-racist groups."
·In the November elections the
club will support Senator Abraham
Ribicoff (D-Conn.) because
his views coincide with those of
the club's.
It also plans to support Mr.
Robert Cook, a sociology professor
at Yale University whose
platform is also very similar
to that of the Young Dems. Mr.
Cook is running for United
States Congress Third District
which includes New Haven.
Mr. Cook will tentatively
speak here in Gonzaga Auditorium
on Wednesday, October
9 at a time yet to be announced.
Mr. Cook spoke here last year
along with Mr. Fred Harris ot
the Hill Parents' Association ot .
New Haven.
Or will these goals of finding
a man she can love and
having children by him appear
meaningless once attained"!
Such questions disturb the modern
viewer and "Rachel, Rachel"
makes no attempt to answer
them.
Yet the plot is intricate, more
so than I have made it seem,
and some aspects of the photography,
especially the showing of
Rachel's face as old and lined,
or young and soft, depending
on the situation, are interesting.
So if one is not in a particularly
sk!'ptical mood he may b!' if
not satisfied at least superficially
pleased with "Rachel, Rachrl."

Thieu government. One political
figure well-known for his
anti-war stand believes that the
figure is probably no more than
100. Student leaders themselves
admit that only about ten percent
of the approximately 25,000
university students in Saigon
even know or care about the
Alliance and its~purpose.
The sculpture of Mr. Harvey
Weiss will be on display in the
Campus Center Oak Room from
October 7 through November 4.
The sculpture of Harvey
weiss is an original and personal
vision. It is a continual
discovery of new shapes and
forms - of planes and contours
and shadows and volumes. At
times his work is abstract while
others are representational. and
concerned with literary relationships
and situations. But at
all times it has a humor and a
deep envolvement with the human
condition.
Although Mr. Weiss' work is
primarily in welded brass, there
are excursions into many dif-
1erent m a t e r i a Is including
bronze, plaster, wood, mosaic,
terra-cotta and an unusual
technique of inscribed terracotta
relief incorporating an
often extensive and poetic text.
He has had a long and distinguished
career with his
works exhibited widely. His
sculpture is in many public and
private collections including the
Albright-Knox G a 11 e r y, the
collections of Governor Nelson
Rockfeller, Joseph Hirshorn and
many others.
He has recived three Ford

and has had four one-man
shows at the Paul Rosenberg

A native of New York, Mr.

and the University of
Missouri. He has studied art at
the National Academy of Design,
the Art Student's League,
and with Ossipe - Zadkine in
Paris.
Some of the student leaders
have already chosen the latter
alternative. Several leaders of
the Saigon Student Union in
1967 joined the NLF during Tet.
Several of Hue's ,student activists,
traditionally more militant,
joined t,he Front before
the end of last year.
Anti-war activists, however,
have clearly been driven ~o a
position of advocating the ewerthrow
of the military government
by a Communist-led coalition
of forces. One student leader
int~rviewed at the Student
Union headquarters, still ftlled
with refugees from the May offensive,
said, "The future role
of the generals who rule the
country depends on how they
respond to the people's wishes
for peace. If they do not give
the people peace, they will be
lost."

October 2, 1968 THE STAS
Sl~OilTS PERSONALI'I'Y
By JOSEPH VALERIO
Sport& Editor
Imagine earning a tryout
with the Boston Red Sox and,
instead, going to Fairfield to
play soccer. Yet, diJficult as
this may seem. such is the case
of Thomas Moylan, soccer captain
of the 1968 edition.
Tom at tended Bristol Central
High School, a scant 50 miles
upstate, where he was a standout
center-fielder in baseball,
leading his team to the state
semifinals in his junior year,
while heading the batting list
with a resounding .406 in his
last year. However, Tom also
excelled in soccer at the public
secondary school, for he lettered
in his junior year and .cocaptained
the squad to a 10-4
slate and state semifinal berth
in his farewell season. In both
sports, Tom earned All Central
Connecticut Interscholastic League
accolades in his senior
year.
The burly prefect of Gonzaga
2, decided to e n r o 11 at
Fairfield in the Class of '69.
Here, Tom worked hard in
soccer earning a starting post
as an underclassmen. However,
his goal for a winning season
has never materialized. Last
year the hooters came within
one goal of reaching the illusive
:soo mark, but much greater
heights had been anticipated.
"I would like nothing better
than a winning season," the
Education major explains, "In
my last year."
Perhaps Tom's biggest problem
and key to the teams success
is his weight. Tom tips the
scales at 200, but he is a shade
under six feet tall. Therefore,
the lighter Tom stays, the
quicker he moves, and, hence,
the better the Stags perform.
"My responsibility as center
fullback is primarily defensive,
for I call defensive signals,"
notes the bespectacled senior.
"Usually I am the last man
between the goalie, so my chief
duties are to stop all fast
breaks past the other fullbacks,
those past mid-field, and help
defend our goal." This is most
demanding when one rE-alizes
"The Bear" (he resembles
Smokey) patrols 60 yards of
the field.
Senior Soccer Capta.in Tom Moylao beadl opfielcl.
Soccer should be most enjoy-able
for Tom ~ season, for
his look-alike, Tony Palumbo,
graduated last June. Tony was
quite an extrovert on the soccer
field, constantly yelling encouragement
to his teamates
and bickering with officials.
Since Tony and Tom strongly
resemble each other, referees
often gave Tom "a rough time"
instead of Tony. But this year,
all that will be history.
Vice-President of the Cardinal
Key Society last year, Tom
plans to teach social studies at
his scholastic alma-mater next
year, in addition to coaching
soccer and baseball. When a

Seek First Win Today
By DA VlD CAISSE
Hungry for its first victory of
the young season, Fairfield's
soccer team will duel Sacred
Heart this afternoon in a home
game. The Stags carry an 0-1
record into today's contest, having
lost to Quinnipiac 4-1 and,
also, falling in a round-robin
tourney last Saturday. However
the tournament does not count
on the season's record.
In the Quinniplac game Fairfield
scored first, before 5
minutes had elapsed. Sophomore
Dan Wilcox moved in close to
the Quinnipiac goal and booted
the ball in for the score. How-ever,
Quinnipiac soon recovered
from the early goal and came
charging back. The Stags were
unable to cope with their firedup
opponents and consequently
finished on the shor t end of the
tally.
Fairfield's inexperience was
evident in the round-robin
games. The Stags were outclassed
5-0 by powerful U .B. in
the initial contest. In their remaining
2 games the Stags
played well, knotting Sacred
Heart 0-0 and losing to Quinnipiac
1-0. Today the Stags will
attempt to put it all together
and emerge with a victory.

workouts with the Knicks ... Bob Gibson leads
the World Champion Cardinals today in what should
be a slam bang World Series ... The Tigers boost a
power hitting lineup featuring Willie Horton, Al Kaline,
Bill Freehan, and Norm Cash . . . However, Gibson
should win three games and lead the Cardinals to a
seven game win . . . Brian Dowling threw two touchdown
passes and was on the receiving end of one f rom
teammate Calvin Hill on a spectacular play ... The
Dallas Cowboys continued their devastating offensive
show by clobbering the Philadelphia Eagles 45-13 ...
Giants continued their winning ways with a 48-21 win
over Washington ... Homer Jones electrified the Stadium
with two long scores of over 150 yds ... Offensive
tackle Steve Wright rejoined the club after being out
a month with a broken ankle . . . The Stag football
club opens its season against Manhattan Saturday, October
6 ... For those of you who aren't aware of the
basketball tradition here in Stagland, there is a personality
arriving on campus in the coming week who
will in all probability determine the success of this
year's team. He is Jim Brown from New Haven, Connecticut.
Jim was an all-stater from Hillhouse High
and powered his team to a couple of state championships
here in Connecticut. Basketball is in an intense
ritualistic thing in New Haven where you might have
to wait two or three hours to play in some of the playgrounds

Harriers Maul Marist z• n Opener
By COLIN KILEY
The Cross CO\mtry team
began its season with a stunning
upset victory over Marist
College, 21-34. The Harriers
demonstrated its desire to make
known the fact Fairfield has a
cross country team, despite
Marist's copping of the indi-vidual
v i c t or y. Fairfield's
G e o r g e Trainor finished a
·strong second. John O'Rourke,
who led until the halfway mark,
managed to maintain third
place for the rest of the race,
but found himself accompiinied
across the tape by freshmen
Kurt Rashi and Brian Keefe.
The. three Stag countrymen
were given a tie for third place.
Ira Davis, another freshman,
finished sixth while sophomore
Mark O'Donahue placed seventh.

The Fairfield Football Club
opens its 1968 season this Sunday
against Manhattan College
in a home game at 2:00 p.m.
at Alumni Field.
The game will be the first
ever between the Stags, coached
by Dick Curtis, and the
Jaspers, coached by La r r y
Kelley. The Stags are coming
off a fine 4-2 mark last year,
while Manhattan posted a dismal
2-4 record.
Coach Kelley rates his club
as "improved, but still young,"
and lists quarterback N i c k
Ricci, halfback Sean O'Keeffe,
fullback George Nix, end John
E$posito, and guards Ton y
Dudick and Joe Pufami as key
returnees.
Manhattan b e g a n playing
football in 1891, and became a
club in 1965, achieving records
of 2-3, 4-1 and 2-4. Last year
the Jaspers beat St. John's 35-0
and Scranton 41-0, while losing
to Seton Hall 26-24, Marist
20-18, Iona 14-8, and Fordham
33-7.

The high point of the contest
for the Stags came late in -the
session, when Frank Schultz
drove his team downfield and
flipped a T.D. pass to Bob Piazza.
Kevin Murphy's placement
was perfect. Fairfield threatened
earlier when a run by Howie
Emond brought the ball to the
2. The Stags had one chance to
score, but Eddie Journalist was
stopped short of the goal.

Fairfield prepared for the
opener by going through a
brutal scrimmag(: with the Yale
freshmen. Yale outscored the
Stags by a 3-1 margin.
Although the score wasn't too
bad, the facts of the contest
were cruel: a good club football
team was soundly beaten physically
and statisticly by a 75-
man squad that rotated four
different units against the outmanned
Stags.

The Fairfield Rugby Club
opened its season Saturday with
a hard-fought match against the
Columbia Business School. The
Columbia ruggers had gained
early prominence this season
with wins over the Manhattan
and the Philadelphia Rugby
Clubs, both rated high in Eastern
Rugby standings. This fact
did not seem to bother the Red
Ruggers, as they trounced Columbia,
20-3.
Fairfield's impressive "A"
serum battered the Columbians
deep within their own territory,
where alert AI Salomone picked
up a fumbled ball and pranced
over for the first try of the
game. Bruce Klastow, fiery sec-

ond row for the "A" ruggers,
wasted no time in adding to
the score with two successive
trys, one from a Columbia lineout
deep in their own territory
and another from a loose ball
near the Columbia goal. Klastow's
impressive drive and
hustle were indicative of the
entire "A" team, with such ruggers
as Billy Connolly, Tom
Krenn, and Q. Murphy keeping
the pressure on the Columbians.
The Red backfield contributed
to the field day against Columbia,
with Fatty Maher totaling
8 points, including a beautiful
drop-kick from twenty yards
out. Also, Tom Crowley set up
Steve Carre for the final try
of the match, as the Red backfield
showed its great speed and
adept ball-handling in such ruggers
as Jim Casey, Steve Ryan,
and Kurt Schligchting. By the

end of the game, it was evident
that the Columbians had been
completely out-classed by the
desire and ruby-sense of the
Red ruggers.
Following the "A" game, the
Columbia second team scrimmaged
against a combined "B"
and "C" team for Fairfield. In
the first half, the Red "B's"
got under way with a fine run
by wing Joe Sindt for the first
try. The Red scrwn kept the
pressure on the Columbians,
·winning practically every set
serum and pursuing the ball unceasingly.
Such ruggers as
Frank Santulli, Mondo Flannagan,
and Bob Marcavage kept
the Blue ruggers on their toes
with fine pursuit through the
Columbia line-outs.
The Red backfield dazzled the
Blue ruggers with exceptional
speed and fine moves by such
backs as Alan Perkins, Billy
Frese, and Pat Burke. Also to
be noted in the first half was
the hard-driving play of Miles
Edwards, who played· an exceptional
game at wing forward
for the Red ruggers. In the
second half, Joe Sindt again
scored, this time aided by the
"C" backfield, and such ruggers
as John Zerilli and Chris
Grimes. Also the C serum, lead
by Pete Hapworth and Frank
Schaller, aided in the 6-3 win.
