AIM Candidate
Speaks
By BOBERT BURGESS
"We are running this campaign
not because the American
Independence Movement (AIM)
believes that no one man in
congress can effectively fu11Ul
the views of AIM. We are running
a candidate to express the
views of AIM and to obtain as
wide an audience as possible."
This statement from a representative
of the Fairfield Unlversity
Young Democratic Club
describes the purposes of the
American Independent Movement
and the group's reasons
for supporting Robert Cook, the
AIM candidate for U.S. Representative
from Connecticut.
Tonight
plness. So we get concerned
about the thousands of lives
being wiped out in Vietnam ...
We wonder why our representatives
are so agreeable to Johnson's
war when we elected him
on a peace ticket - those of us
who were allowed to register to
vote. Some of us in the South
weren't . . . we're doing something
a bit different. We're run
·ning a registered ticket."
Mr. Cook's campaign is one
based on Individuality and independence,
but there are other
purposes for the campaign as
the Young Democrats' spokesman
pointed out, "The campaign
ls being run for mainly
educational purposes." Boben Cook
SDS Members Plan
Weekend Picket
By DAVID DZUBEC
Newa Edltor
"If you don't get into a dialogue, you don't get into
trouble," admonished Mark Galligan to those SDS members
who will picket during Father-Son Weekend. Signs
accusing the University of racism "will state only
facts."
This demonstration will be
the first of its kind here and
according to Mr. Galligan,
"People are going to rattle."
The demonstration ls timed to
make a significant impression
on the fathers of the students
this Saturday and Sunday.
It is to be a silent, peat.oeful
demonstration, exhorting only
action on the part of the ad·
ministration.
In other action at the second
SDS meeting it was decided that
Army, Navy, Alr Force and
Marine recruiters and any company
with a national defense
contract invited lor senlor in·
terviews will be asked to participate
in an open forum so that
anyone can ask questions. According
to William O'Brien the
purpose of these open forums
will be "to educate the student
body as to why these people
are here."

'Educational Disadvantage'
Ended by VIC Proposal
"Last year we wrote to all
the officers of Dow Cbemical
to debate their defense role if
an Interviewer was sent," remarked
Richard Otto. Dow replied
negatively and sent an interviewer
anyway. As a r esUlt
a sit-in occurred while the Dow
representatives were present on
the Fairfield campus.

Eclltor·in·Cblef
.with a primary aim of bringing the University community towards closer
racial equality, concerned members of the Youth Interracial Council, who "feel
that they have been culturally and educationally deprived here at Fairfield because
of the lack of black students, black faculty, and black administrators on campus,"
are submitting to administration, faculty, and student groups a "feasible proposal"
to "end this educational disadvantage."
There was some dlacussion
on the dilemma of the Student
Government but it was ended
when one member said, "Let's
just have nothing to do with the
Student Government right now."
The meeting wu short and
ended with various committee
meetings. The next meeting
will be announced.
Mr. Cook, a sociology professor
at Yale Unlversity, is making
his second attempt for public
office. He also waged an
unsuccessful campaign for the
same office in 1966. This is his
second appearance on campus
and his campaign has aroused
much interest in New Haven
and in the surrounding area although
his chance for success
are estimated as "very doubt·
ful."
~rPomw ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Cook's platform consists
ol four major points: 1. immediate
withdrawal from Vietnam;
2. black control of black
communities; 3. the redistribution
of wealth in America; 4.
and the reorientation of the system
of values in America today.
His ·platform elaborates on
these issues in more detail by
saying, "We are sort of stubborn
about insisting upon our
old inalienable rights like life,
liberty, and the pursuit of hap-

Heated Dress Debate
Sparks Gov't Meeting
By BILL BERTIER
Editorial Manager
The ghost of last year's dress regulations issue returned to
haunt the new Student Legislature last Thursday as Robert Maggi,

is dissatisfied with the present operation of the new policy.

"I would fin.d it hard to believe
that this proposal could
be rejected by the three groups
here at Fairfield," commented
William Luddy, Chairman of
the YIC. "The problem is, however,
a commitment may be
purely rhetorical and personally
face-saving. When it comes
down to implementing a specific
program, we will be able
to see how tru1y committed each
group is by examining how
far they are willing to go."
The spirit of the basic points
of the proposal are grounded
in a recent statement made by

New Science Center
Named For Bannow
Fairfield Unlversity's n e w
science center, which is scheduled
to begin construction in
the late fall, will be named in
honor of the late Rudolph F .
Bannow, former Bridgeport industrialist
and past President of
National Association of Manufacturers.
Fr. Mcinnes in announcing
the commemoration noted that
this memorial science center
marks the first University building
named to honor a communlty
leader. He stated that a
generous and substantial gift
has been presented to the Unlversity
by Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert
Larson in honor of her father
Mr. Bannow.
The University P r e s i d en t
went on to express his gratitude
to the Larsons whose gift will
make it possible for Fair1leld to
maintain and expand its present
quality programs in science and
engineering.
"We have been encouraged in
this venture by the achievements
of our recent science
graduates, 67% of whom have
gone on to graduate and professional
study, and by our recent
cooperative engineering
program with the University of
Connecticut," he continued.
Four Story Complex
The four story twin wing
complex was designed by the
architectural firm of Eggers
and Higgins of New York City
with the assistance of a faculty
committee headed by Rev. Robert
Varnerin, S.J. The committee
worked closely with Dr. John
A. B!U'One, University VicePresident
for Planning and John
Dunnigan, the University engineer,
in preparing the recommendations
for the architects.
The $4 million Bannow Science
Center, which wUl be
nestled in the wooded areas behind
the new library will have
a unique design which will allow
for future expansion and
growth in the various science
oriented programs.

Immediate ParpoN
In a recent dlacuaslon with
Mr. C. Donald Cook, Director
of the Department, be stated
the immediate purpose of his
program was: "to prepare
an orderly resume; to
suuest proper Inquiries for the
student to make; to have an
extensive record ol the student's
backcround to present to
the lnterviewen.
"All these factors will tend
to make an o v e r a 11 good

Cook. "'lbe resume &fves the
Interviewer lnai&bt into the
student's back&round that ordinarily
may be neglected in
an interview unless the student
brOUiht these matters to tblt
Interviewer's attention tbroulh

One problem cited by Mr.
Cook is that non-bualness students
have tended to shy away
from these Interviews. He emphasized
explicitly however the
fact that Industry la coming

'69 Manor Begins
Subscription Drive
By THOMAS PEBBOT'l'l
"Orders are now ~in&
taken tor the 1968-69 Manor,
Fairfteld's scrapbook of memorable
events and a few forgotten
ones . • . " stated Nello
Trevisan '69 and James Reme
'69, co-edltors-in-cbiet of the
Manor. Both were editors ot
their high school yearbooks and
have been worklng in the Manor
sta1r for the past tour and
two years, respectively. They
feel that this experience will
help them overcome the ditrlculties
in the production of a
yearbook and, therefore, present
a more improved book to
the student association.
New IDaovaUon
A new innovation in this
year's publication will be the
scrapp!nK ot the conventional
ftve section book, and the replacing
it with a more appealing,
lifelike format, which is
still on the drawing board.
Since the yearbook is ft.
nanced by ads and sales, students
are encouraged to pur chase
the Manor, and to persuade
their parents to become
boosters, or it they are assoclated
with a business to secure
an ad "The more ada we receive,
the more flexible we can
be in creating the yearbook."
sald Mr. Trevlsan. '"'bis baa its
most obvious effect in the photoerapby
coverage because the
amount ot color used, depends
on the degree ot ftnanclal sup.
port."
W1lllam D' Alessandro, pbotography
editor and the only
junior on the staff, added, "With
the large photography sta1r we
will be able to otter coverage
to all events and photographically
there will be some lnterestin&
surprUel." He also mentioned
that he could be contacted
in order to cover any
events that the yearbook staff
might not be aware of.
In answer to the question concerning
the September delivery
ot the Manor, Mr. Trev1san said
that the delivery date would
remain the same because the
yearbook is "primarily tor seniors
and should include graduation
and senior week.''
Those interested in placing a
deposit now tor the Manor,
should contact James Magenheimer,
sales manager, in ND
436.
And conce~ every student-
they seek students "with
or without a draft problem."
"Last year for lnatance," Mr.
Cook said. '<the non-technical
students who 10qbt immediate
employment upon graduation
were offered salaries ranging
from $7,000-$8,600 starting salary.
The technical students
ranged from $7,500 starting salary
to some over $9,300."
Another problem la t b a t
many students are bllh1y motivated
to continue In graduate
school, but really don't know
why.
The last two points (which
follow) are concerned with se>
cial awareness. "More than
ever" said Mr. Cook, "students
have an inclination to soclal
services, education, peace corps,
and o t h e r socially-oriented
tields because they fear the
myth ot business alienation
from social concerns."

Tomorrow
Mr. Cook said "today it
mi&bt be more advlaable for
some students to attempt a job
first and find out one's asplratloas,
capabilities and directicn
'lben, If desired, o n e
could return to school and ·•get
more mlleaee" out ot graduate
work. "But the key," he
said, "is first-hand experience."
Mr. Cook outlined reasons
why JJ1&DY students prefer work
to graduate school If they are
uncertain:
Deferment ranae is rather
narrow. It would be better to
have a business concern invest

Explosion Of New Rock
By BRUCE SCHAUBLE
The Revofution has gotten out of hand. The New Rock which began with Sgt.
Pepper on the one hand, the Jefferson Airplane et al., on the other, a nd Bob Dylan
(listen, we could all use three hands) on the other, has led to that post-revolutionary
state of anarchy and disorientation which the conservative mind is always trying
The Revolution has Jllled the
airways with dark, mysterious
paths of sound upon which the
hapless rock fan is likely to
lose his way, his mind or both.
The impulse of one who enters
upon these paths unprepared
will likely be to withdraw in
confusion and fear like the pothead
undergoing the effec!s of
his first. bad trip. But, in any
situation, given a proper understanding
of the nature of the
experience, the rewards of perseverance
can be many.
Fundamental Problems
The fundamental problems
presented to the structured
mind by the New Music are 1)
its lack of structure 2) its sheer
bulk, and 3) the seeming lack
of critical norms for its evaluation.
The lack of structure in the
New Music ls the result of the
breakdown of the tnvlslble bar·
rlers which- separated the in·
dependently structured worlds
of rock 'n roll, folk, country,
jazz, pop, and classical music.

the same time that electronic

which could be produced and
combined. Popular musicians
were freed to create almost
anything.
Musical Avalanche
The musical avalanche resulting
from this newfound freedom
presented problems to the
critical establishment. The only
criterion the ino~vidual listener
had with which to evaluate the
New Music was the way it felt
inside his head. The music industry
itself, used to dictating
standards and structures rather
than evaluating them, was even
less equipped to deal with the
New Music. The overnight success
of unknown groups on the
mass market forced recording
companies to sign all kinds of
groups, even ones they were
unsure of, lest another company
sign them and make a
bundle. The new groups so
signed brought original ldeas
and techniques to a musical
world already exploding with
possibilities. Whole new record
companies were formed for the
sole purpose of producing New
Music alb\llm.
Rock Explosion
The explosion of the rock
scene has been something less
than an unmixed bles:;ing for
many listeners, who, forced into
the eenie - meenie - minie - moe

By BOB ELLIS
This election year finds the United States politically and
socially fatigued. The social concern which John Kennedy's "New
Frontiers" inspired, and which Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society"
feigned, has decreased just as drastically as American deaths in
Vietnam have increased. Inspirationally, the best 1968 ean muster
is Humphrey's "New Day" which to most of us sounds like just
another blue Monday.
None of America's three leading presidential candidates animates
any enthusiasm for the future. None have a dream. All three
seem obsessed with a crusade for law and order which at worst
can be interpreted as a return to the past and at best as a commitment
to a present that would last four years. Neither the past
nor present can contain tomorrow.
But to worry about plans for tomorrow rings somewhat
r idiculous when the leading presidential candidates of our country
purposely avoid meaningful discussion on Vietnam today. The
rationale behind their silence is that dissent~ possibly surfacing
in such discussions, would only hamper the "progress" being made
at the Paris Peace Talks. Thus foreign policy of such all-pervading
dimensions must be excluded from partisan politics; in tone it
seems the politics of 1968 can ill afford to be much more than a
battleground for "squishy soft" invectives, and so far this fall,
that is all it has been.
Humphrey fears Nixcn; Nixon fears the Democrats; Wallace
fears the blacks; all three of them together fear the niggers (New
Left.) The candidates see in the niggers a coalition of misfits radically
opposed to an imposition of law and order that 18% of America
does not share. (This figure is not mine but that of the Social
Security Administration. By their figures an urban family of 4
with an income of less than $3,200 is considered poor. From this
measure allowances are made for larger or smaller families or
rural families whose cost of living is cheaper. 1966). They see
the U.S. as a threat to the public quiet of America. We in turn see
change as a necessary prerequisite to law and order, for at the
present, stricter enforcement of law and order only reinforces the
sanction of injustices which have become established. Before there
is more law, there must be more justice. To attain this America
needs a vision, not revision.
Such a vision is offered in the platform of the Peace and
Freedom Party. Basically it is:
1. An immediate withdrawal of troops from Vietnam.
2. Black liberation through local control.
a. Community controlled rent and tax control boards ...
not urban renewal which has too often meant community
disruption.
b. Disarm and disband ghetto police forces of the present
type. -
3. Build a new labor movement
4. Free medical care for every man, woman, and child.
5-:- Abolish the prison system and replace it with centers for
real rehabilitation of those who commit crimes.
6. Organize popular resistance to corporations and banks that
control communities through economic boycotts.
7. Abolish the selective slavery s~tem.
8. Establish free fares on city buses, trains, and subways.
9. Take guns from the cops and the army, not from the people.
Many discount this program as hastily as others discounted
Roosevelt's New Deal. But just as a New Deal vote registered an
emphatic no to yesterday's politics of the status quo, a vote today
for Peace and Freedom does likewise. Such a vote registers one's
niggership in a way boycotting the polls cannot. As for winning,
neither Eldrige Cleaver nor Jerry Rubin have any illusions. In
1968 a Peace and Freedom vote will only serve to kick America's
political conscience. Such a kick,, however, could instigate a political
party in which men like Gene McCarthy, Wayne Morse, and
Julian Bond are no longer mavericks but members of a truly
democratic left.
Of course many will hesitate even entering a protest vote for
Peace and Freedom because it advocates "taking the guns from
the cops and army, and not from the people.'' I personally find
the idea of anyone having a gun extremely undesirable. But
hypothetically which would be more dangerous - blacks carrying
guns to preserve what dignity they have been able to retain in
spite of America, or Wallace, Humphrey, or Nixon sitting in command
of the United States nuclear weaponry while seeking an
"honorable peace" in Vietnam?
So like the "radical" Democratic party of Roosevelt,(whom
history as of 1964 had pretty much absolved with the passage of
Medicare) history will eventually either absolve or dissolve Peace
and Freedom. As to its immediate efficacy and success, no one
with the least amount of political savvy is holding his breath. Its
chances are virtually nonexistent. The central value of Peace and
Freedom lies not in its immediate efficacy but in its vision. For
Peace and Freedom allows America to dream as it should live -
together.

GRASS ROOTS
By KEVIN KELLEY
"The Coming of Activt.m; 1: Orlglns"
Here, in this first week of October, we are enjoying a temporary
respite from the tumult of the present. Columbia, Chicago
and our most recent assassinations are now all in the process of
beoming bitter memories. The redundant rhetoric of an unexciting
presidential campaign affords us the benefit of objectivity. Perhaps
by pausing, examining and assessing during this period of predictability
we will be better conditioned for the reality jolt we are
bound to receive on November 5. Thus, the refreshing staleness
of this interim month provides the opportunity to trace roota and
consol1date diverse theories.
The voluminous information dispensed (and sometimes distorted)
daily by the media has so inundated our minds that it has
become largely impossible to reflect carefully on the events that
have created an outspoken, activist minority. It is essential that
we momentarily erase from our thoughts those incredible images
of defiant young men perched precariously on the ledges of "liberated
buildings." Surely, they did not magically appear, armed
with a r evolutionary litany and a repertoire of forceful tactics.
Why have universities been seized, conventions disrupted, and induction
notices destroyed? I will attempt to demonstrate causes
for these actions by approximating the genesis of contemporary
a ctivism and charting its tenuous growth. From such a necessarily
brief resume of recent history, there will hopefully emerge a more
acute understanding of current and future upheavals.
Young Amerit:a, in 1960, awoke from the somnolent decade
of Ike to the encouraging dawn of J.F.K. The new president was
a man who spoke eloquently of a "new frontier.' His innate
charisma, coupled with his often-repeated promises of a socialpolitical
renaissance in America earned him the allegiance of an
idealistic generation. The policies that were originally responsible
for the dissatisfaction and negation of youthful involvement were
now subtly cloaked by a guise of updated sloganism. The dream
of the Peace Corps was counterbalanced by theJlightmare of the
Bay of Pigs. There was, after all, no real cause for alarm. America
was still practicing internal and external s ubversion of other governments,
and our paranoiac reaction to the word "Communism"
was being resurrected and exploited whenever it was deemed expedient
to do so.
The Kennedy administration was not, however, totally devoid
of enlightened progressivism. The Civil Rights Movement was
probably the most prominent refugee to escape from the hypocrisy
of the early '60's. A degree of awareness and an earnest desire to
remedy injustice were nurtured through the programs initiated
by a man with the capacity to r elate to the disenfranchised. We
were, however, soon returned to vacuous stagnation by the horror
of Dallas. Lyndon Johnson lacked the essential quality of appeasing
the restless through ' convincing visions of luminous horizons.
The insensitive imperialism that Johnson practiced was met,
not with the passive acceptance of the Eisenhower years, but with
the disgust and abhorrence of a minority grown sick of haugnty
interventionism. The do-nothingism of the SO's became ironically
preferable to the indiscriminate invasions of the 60's, e.g. Dominican
Republic and Vietnam. Ike may have bored us but Johnson
threatened to kill us.
The people who had been so effectively wooed by the Kennedy
style were now being asked by a man they considered a usurper
to please donate their lives to the cause of extinguishing a dubious
menace. The peace movement and S.D.S. arose in anger to respond
to this request with cries of "Hell no, we won't go!", and "Not
with my life you don't." A potentially violent polarization was developing
in the nation. The dissenting minority intensified their
already intransigent refusal to participate in a conflict 8,000 miles
away on behalf of a government rife with corruption and less
attentive to the will of its people than the "enemy." Conversely,
the cold warriors who suffer paroxysms of rage at the notion that
any form of communism might actually be better suited to a
foreign nation than our own brand of force-fed democracy, reacted
with naked oppression. (Imprisonment of American objectors and
the bombardment of Vietnam's civilian population.) An unbridgeable
chasm had opened with the survival of both sides at stake.

THE STAG
Theatre
'...J.Jair' - By DANIEL TURNER
"If we had been alive then
and contemplated those early
Christians, we might have said,
'Well, this is very hippie. It
won't come to anything.' And
we would have been wrong."
Arnold Toynbee oo America
Life, Dec. 8
Out of the depths of repressed
emotion comes the drum beat
of man engendering rebirth by
tribal dance and love chant.
Breathless in the garments of
tradition and entangled in the
fibers of authority, he tears the
clothing from his body and
stands free upon the stage once
more with the cooling vapors
of Aquarius descending on his
nakedness.
So e n d s the f i r s t act of
"Hair" a new musical on Broadway
that is pot a "new musical"
in the tradition of new
musicals which are chronically
noted for their new version of
''Oklahoma" in a d i f f e r e n t
State. It is a new musical because
it leaves this rut of superficial
fairy tales and bourgeois
remembrance of things
past and strikes out in strains
of new feelings and expression
with a degree of perception
that is unforgettable. It is the
first musical that you leave the
theater humming the thoughts
rather than the music.
In a city which no longer attends
a drama, a play, or anything
thought provoking, the
intrusion of a musical that
makes one think is a rarity.
That the curtain rises on this
type of production in the future
Is a necessity if drama
and playwrights are to endure.
That the curtain actually rose
on the show at all came as a
surprise. How long can American
theater survive the onslaught
ot dullness wielded by
Madison A v e n u e MacFlecknoes?
The only theater that
should be on Broadway is off
Broadway and the hope of getting
it on the big white way
approved; the Government Budget
was sent back to committee
for revisions and a bill providing
for an allotment of $1600 to
WVOF was consequently deleted
from the agenda.
is heartfelt but goes unhonored.
With the arrival of "Hair"
among the bourgeois (who were
just getting over the shock of
Albee) a new attempt at progress
was made. When Barry
McGuire comes on the stage
with greasy hair and bare chest
and starts bum.ing a draft card,
you know that this is a different
show from "Henry Sweet
Henry." It is instead just the
start of an evening of fourletter
words, and a slap on the
face for every type of authority
and tradition since time in memoriam
(as well as for every
bridge club in the audience.)
"Hair'' as it was first reviewed
is a "brea$11 of fresh
air" and not only for the future
of theater b u t for the
future of America. There is an
optimism in watching thirty
hairy, half-nude hippies dancing
and raising their armpits and
singing, "I got life!"
This rock musical is one of
complete involvement. The actors
and audience are literally
involved together in creating
a happening. Of what? Of love.
Love is the shake, rattle and
joy of the evening. It is the
moral of the story from beginning
to end. It is a bundle of
Horatian and Juvenalian satire
rolled up into one ecstatic be-in.
Intermittently interrupting
the musical rock are hurled
the adjectives of invective and
several admonishing one-liners
such as, "The draft is white
people sending black people to
make war on yellow people to
defend the land they stole from
red people," or "Murry, we can
go home now, the nude scene
is over."
The truth hurts and there is
a lot of hypocrisy pointed at
in the audience. With its shout
for full-freedom, "Hair" does
not neglect to be a realistic
production. A sickly, unwedded,
pregnant girl is on stage the
entire show, and the lyrics of
one number are all inclusive as
well as self-explanatory, "LBJ,
IRT, USA, LSD, LSD, LBJ,
FBI, CIA, F BI, CIA, LSD,
LBJ ," and along with ''Welcome

monoxide" comes "Bless you

The uncomplicated plot of
"Hair" is that of Barry McGuire's
("Eve of Destruction")
recession into a loss of freedom.
He boasts about burning
his draft card; he cops out.
Towards the end of the lhow,
he is inducted and leaves the
hippie world of liberty and bas
his hair cut and his body uniformed.
None of the other hippies
know hin1 as hE.> returns
to say his last goodbye, but
instead sing and dance in their
world of love. McGuire starts
a pathetic chant, "I got no. I
got no. I got no," and steps
behind a Negro sentry in V.iet
Nam as he is swallowed into
back-stage darkness. 1t was, of
course, "I got no (freedom.)"
The hippies sing out, "Let the
. sun shine in," and then "Walkin
space, (they) find the purpose
of peace, the beauty of
life you can no longer hide,"
and leave the happening in rock
music as Barry McGuire, the
inducted soldier, lies prostrate
on the stage.
The curtain does not close on
this show. The music continues
and the audience leaves in
silence.

r.= The Fairfield~
Merry-Go-Round
By ROBERT M1JBPII'I'
"Some men look at that which is and ask why, I dream of
things that never were and say why not." This quote from a
speech made by the late Robert Kennedy is the one sentence that
crystallizes what I hope this column will represent to those that
ride the Fairfield Merry.{;o-Round I will try to mix constructive
criticism with a genuine effort to express my opinions on how we
can turn the merry-go-round into a real community. I am aft' aid
those who like to hear all the shortcomings of Fairfield and those
who try to hide them will be disappointed with this colwnn, but
those who have a true desire to make a better world should ftnd
an outlet for their thoughts. We have heard much about the
problems of this campus, but very few solutions have been offered
We will try to separate these problems and seek real answers to
them.
Student apathy has been in the news for at least the pi\St
two years. To this date it still exists and in even greater proportions.
Throughout the crusade against Arnold Apathy all segments
of the University have wasted no words in telling Stanle)' Stag
what a slob he is, but few have taken the time or the energy to
try igniting the potential fire under the seat of his pants. Almost
every club in the school is at a low on membership and few people
seem to care. Only about 25% of the student body actively par·
ticipates in the extra-curricular organizations available to all stu·
dents (including commuting students). What is the problem! We
think it lies in the fact that Fairfield is a suitcase campus, and
by that we mean that most of the students, faculty, and administration
at Fairfield treat the school as a school and not a home.
The only way to improve the social life, the academic policy,
human involvement with the community, and the general attitude
at this University is to roll your sleeves up and go to work. It is
much easier to tell someone what is wrong with him than it is to
try heloing him correct his errors. The student body will never
rid ito;erf of the feelingf. of fruc:tration and dissatisfaction until it
at least tries to solve the problems that plague this University. A
good example of this is the proposed bar on campus. The barn
belongs to the students if they will clean it out and make it ready
for use. It would take fifty hard-working, fun-loving guys about
ten hours to clean the entire bam, but don't dare suggest a guy
should work for privileges. Another example is the drive to lower
the drinking age in this state. The only obstacle that stands in
the way of passage is the manpower and involvement of the students
of Connecticut. Where was Stanley Stag last Thursday night
when a campus meeting was held to organize the drive in Fairfield
County?
The Administration at Fairfield seems to overlook one very
important detail in making academic and social policy for the
University, and that is the fact that the student body cares very
much for this school and as an integral part of the University
ttould like to be a part of the decision-making that controls its
life for four years and may aftect the successes and failures it
makes in later life. What may seem routine to the boys on the
hill may be very important to the students. Would it be asking
too much to let the student body share the power and create a
real community. Placing students on committees that decide the
calendar. plan buildings, set requirements on courses, and evaluate
the University in general might prove not only to be easier, but
much could be gained from the experience of people working together
for the first time on this campus. The variety gained by
having young and old, employee and employer, and liberal and
conservative together has proven a tremendous success in business
and there is no reason why it couldn't be an even bigger success
at Fairfield. I don't need to remind anyone of how labor gained
its rights. You say that rioting isn't the answer, but to this day
you haven't presented a better means. Please, let us in the front
door as mature and responsible students before you turn around
and find the back door in flames.
My final comment this week will be to the newly formed
Students For A Democratic Society. This organization can be one
of the best on campus if it sticks to its title. I would ask those
students to think about the meaning of their club's name before
they embark on any activities. Does not "students" mean those who
learn, and does not democratic mean all the people, and does not
society mean people living, working, and being one! Let us not
destroy the framework we seek to change, and let us not destroy
the freedom of others in our attempt to gain that very freedom
for ourselves.
In conclusion let us stop the merry-go-round and begin a true
attempt to change that which is wrong with our University. Neither
the student body nor the administration can or will do It alone.
A task so great requires the entire community working as one,
and until that day comes Fairfield will remain a sUitcase campus.
THE STA6 October '· 1968
Student Rights or Bill of- Wrongs
Since this year began, The Stag has at times beert outspokenly
critical of the state of this University. We have done so in the belief
that meaningful restructuring of this University is possible only after
withering criticism is focused upon it. There have been those who
profess to see no basis for such a policy in view of the alleged "prog·
ress" being made here. We wish to refute such views with concrete
evidence.
The new Constitution's Student Bill ~f Rights has been returned
from the Administration with "suggestions." In reality, this initial
reaction goes far afield from such a purpose and instead attempts to
mangle the essentially progressive spirit of the original version. As
such, it is ominous evidence that the Administration of this University
intends to continue for an indefinite period the classic abuses against
academic liberty it has perpetrated so systematically in the past. In
point of fact, the only good thing to be said for the prospective revisions
is that they are not final. A significant expression of student
revulsion against any smug attempt to cripple our overdue liberties
might yet reverse the tide of reaction.
In Section I, by implying that dissent only under Student Govevnment
auspices represents a threat to its security, the Administration
abridges the right of free speech with a repugnant veto power
on the form and manner of dissent. Presumably, the First Amendment
can be nullified by their whim.
In Section II, a free press is abridged with cute insertions like
"authorized media" and adamant insistence upon "prior copy approval."
The Administration shaves "due process of law" down to
"due process"- placing itself above the law.
By Section III, unreasonable search and seizure of rooms and
property will continue. Instead of evidence, only a pretext is needed
as basis for a search· couched in roundabout language, secret searches
are to continue as w~ll. By the Fourth Amendment, and even ordinary
standards of human dignity, this is unacceptable.
In Section IV, the right of free association is maimed. The Student
Services Office supersedes the Student Government's sole right
to charter organizations. National organizations may not follow independent
lines. "Moderators," not advisors, stand to have the power
to meddle. "Legal and moral recognition," whatever that stock
phrase means, may be used as the ultimate weapon to suppress
dissent.
In Section V, the students' physical participation in policy affecting
them is warped into occasional, solicited, unofficial advice.
This is unacceptable.
Section VIII, which separates university conduct from the private
realm, was deleted for reasons unexplained and presumably sinister.
Section IX's right of free inquiry is void when and if,. by the
Administration's ·own words, it conflicts with its self-interest. Once
again, this is unacceptable.
All the Administration has done is abridge free speech, free
press, free association, and due process. It has served notice it considers
itself above the law - unbound by student opinion and ideas,
free to search unreasonably and at will, liable to punish a student for
private conduct. It refers to the Student Association as "Government"
(implying it has no legal basis to represent the student body). Worst
of all, it has embraced anew in loco parentis, a reckless, obsolete,
parochial notion which confuses our morality with their security.
The students still have time to express their militant outrage and
ways to do it, most remarkably in the newly-enlightened Student
Legislature. We submit that if they do not rise up in some way, they
deserve whatever fate is in store for them.
Our 'Glorious' Heritage
The main problems that we now face here at Fairfield are not
foreign to this institution. The fire of unrest has been smoldering for
some time. The following excerpts from back copies of The Stag
represent our glorious heritage - a heritage we refuse to accept. • • •
We are in Korea today fighting to save not only the Koreans,
but to save the free nations of the world and the enslaved peoples
from godless communism. We are fighting to save our own necks
from the communist yoke. We cannot let our foe advance any longer.
We have granted unwise concessions in the past to the communists'
greedy tentacles. However, it is not too late to defend ourselves
against a fate worse than slavery.

validity of his position, he proves that he is illogical, unscientific,
pragmatic, and a skeptic. Undoubtedly, a portion of the reading
public will "fall for" his line of "Reasoning."

In many ways it was a sad commentary on Iife .at Fairfield.' What
would have been dismissed as a harmless and well intentioned display
of collegiate spirit on any campus was misconstrued as an illicit assertion
of the student right to assemble at any time. The lack of trust in
the student body as well as the misunderstanding of student motives
that this attitude bespeaks are unfortunate enough in themselves.

Fairfield has become a five-day factory. As soon as the minimum

exhaust heading home with the near panic of a high school prepster
away for the first time. This "bee-line" tendency to vacate these ivyless
halls is, with a few notable exceptions, not restricted to the student
body. Witness the records set by faculty members sprinting
from classroom to faculty lounge rooms.

Civil Liberties
To the Editor:
U education should be an open process,
then teachers must, at times, be
willing to learn from their students.
Voltaire, a student of the Jesuits, once
proclaimed: "I wholly disapprove of
what you say, but will defend to the
death your right to say it" We the undersigned,
agree; and we hope that :nany
others will join With us in making this
lesson their own.
Last spring a group of war-protesters,
including Fr. Daniel Berrigan, S.J.,
raided a goVernment office in Catonsville,
Md. They seized . and publicly
burned draft records kept there. This
week, in Baltimore, criminal proceedings
were set in motion by the Federal
Government against the Catonsville
Nine. If convicted, they face long prison
sentences and severe fines.
Not because we agree with their
means or approve of the particular symbolic
action chosen to dramatize their
protest, but because we feel that the
moral issues underlying their opposition
to the war in Vietnam deserve a fair
and open hearing, we ask for your moral
support and financial aid in providing
the best possible defense for these men
and women. For this purpose a booth
will be set up in the Campus Center
today and tomororw.
Our aim in making this request of you
is not to help these men and women
"evade the law." This would be unworthy
of these persons. We act simply
out of Christian love and a concern for
our fellow men. Because the war in
Vietnam is a matter of conscience for
all of us, whatever our political views,
we believe that the voices of these nine
men and women deserve to be heard.
We ask your help.

I must disassociate myself from my
colleagues in their signed statement in
your columns. To me, Father·Berrigan's
civic disobedience, pacifist pronouncements,
and destruction of government

records, are irrelevant. I repudiate antiAmericanism,
and I love my brother.
Dan Berrigan will be tried before a
civil court. I do not believe in adjudication
by accusation. I believe in the American
way: justice, equity, the right of
trial by one's peers, and due proces.r; of
law. I want these rights for my brother
Dan.
Since this court process is costly, my
Fatber Provincial has asked me to assist.
I do so gladly. I shall beg from
you. This is my whole commitment

Dress Debate
To the Editor:
Last Thursday evening was the third
official meeting of the Student Legislature.
Th~ meeting was routine ext:ept
for a resolution which was passed at the
end. The resolution said that the Student
Government will in no way enforce the
present dress regulations. The resolution
provoked the most heated (and pertinent)
debate I've heard after two y~ars
in that body. The meeting ended with
many tempers aflame and with much
hard feeling among the legislators. This
resolution was the most delicate issue
that has ever been discussed in the his·
tcry of the Legislature.
The opponents of the measure had
some impressive arguments for def~at·
ing it. These arguments went as follows .
1. If the Student Government d<w.sn't
enforce the Dress Regulations the Prefect
system will. The penalty after tour
violations would be th~ termination of
the student's right to eat in the dining
hall. The Prefects would p:-obably be
r.1o:-e exacting than the Student Govern·
ment agents, and fewer stud~nts would
b~ deprived of the right to eat if stu·
d~nts were the enforcers.
2. In Novembrr 1967 the Legisla~.ure
pa·sed !' rcsclution which advocated in·
formal dress in the cafeteria. It s~ms
1hat the Handbook Committee followed
through with this guideline when the
Administration decided that they wanted
"neat dress" defined. The Legislature
now seems to be turn.ing its back on
all that it and other branches of the
government had done previously. Heated
charges of rash action and inconsistency
were common in the Minority debate.
3. Insignificant charges of anarchy and

More Letters
Contwaed from Page '
the necessity . of rules were also mentioned.
I voted for the proposal. I wrote thls
let~r to demonstrate that the legislators
may very well have known what they
were doing (for a change) when they
voted for this resolution. ·
1. Student Government agents would
have been more lenient .than prefects
in enforcing the regulations, but enforc•
ing these regulations is the best way
that I know of to m~e enemies - and
who needs enemies. This is the reason
that the Administration was so willing
to turn the job over to us. More than
one prefect told me that enforcing :lress
regulations was the most distasteful job
that they had. I am sure that a I.Rrge
majority of students would not mind
letting their colleagues wear whatever
they want. This opinion I base on mY
F.U. polling experience and the reactions
among students at N.Y.U. and
UMass where there are no regulations.
At these more "progressive" schools the
students could not care less what the
others wear. If the students couldn't
care less here, then it must be the Administration
which does. In that case
they should enforce the regulations
themselves, through the prefect system.
· In that way it may be possible for the
prefects to persuade them when. we
can't.
The resolution was not a directive as
a bill could have been, but it was an
expression of opinion. The government
can, and possibly will continue enforcement
(since it 18 advantageous to the
student body). However, through the
Legislature it has made its stand clear.
It does not believe in Dress Regulations
at all. ·
2. The most encouraging sign was
that the Legislature has taken a new
direction. Traditionally the role of Student
Government has been to act as arbitrator
standing in a no man's land
between student opinion and administration
opinion. Because of this, the government
has been too moderate for the students
(and therefore unpopular) and too
liberal for the Administration. This was
a very difficult position to' arbitrate
from. The new direction of the Legislature
is to firmly place itself with student
opinion - the Student Government. Once
popular the government can speak from
a position of strength rather than weakness.
It shall no longer be recognized as
an interesting experiment in Civics but
as the voice of the students. In this
position a lot more will be accomplished
in the long run to make Fairfteld a bet·
ter University.
3. In 1967 the Legislature did endorse
informal dress but things have changed
considerably since then. At present 93%
of the students dress according to the
present dress regulations (without being
forced) and nobody to date has come in
in their underwear. (Student pressure
would be sufficient to prevent that).
There is no universal absolute that says
that the Legislature cannot make minor
policy changes when the situation calls
for it. Last Thursday night it did.
4. Needless to say, the legislators who
voted for the resolution were not anarchists.
For anarchists there are better
things to do than to go to Student Legislature
meetings.
As for rules, certainly some are necessary;
however, they should exist to
maintain order not morals or gentlemanly
conduct. If we haven't learned
the last two by now, a couple of "campuses"
aren't going to teach them to us.
Personally, I feel that the legislators
were sincere and very careful before
they made that resolution last Thursday.
If they continue with this progressive
trend I foresee the Legislature as
being the vanguard and not the anchor
of the Student Government.

Dogwood Spirit
To the Editor:
As most of you know perhaps, except
the freshman class, the Dogwood
Festival planned for May 2, 3, and 4,
will be the culminating event for the
social calendar. If all continues as it
is planned now, there is no doubt that
this will prove to be one of the best
sccial weekends one could ask for in
the course of a college career at Fair·
field.
We are attempting to incorporate
what have proven to be the most popular
major events of past weekends into
one weekend. Naturally, to do thls, we
are going to need a good amount of
money. One might here question the
loan from. the Student Government.
Philip Howe has explained the financial
situation to us, and because of
this we have no doubt that there will
be a considerable amount loaned to the
Dogwood Committee by April, when
most of the money will be needed. We
have been led to understand that rough·
ly 10-15 organizations have requested
money from the Government, and so,
much of the money will be tied up for
a while. However, as the school year
progresses, money should be coming
back from loans, profitable social functions,
and, of course, the Homecoming
Weekend loan. Thus, there will be
m a n y inlets for obtaining a larger
Government loan towards the latter
part of the school year.
(
The remainder and majority of the
money will come from the money that
the junior class can raise. Many fundraising
events are planned now which
will be sponsored under the title of
the class of '70. Raffles and different
'one-night events' will make up a major
portion of the drive. So there will
be no collecting of substantial amounts
of money for the weekend, as such. It
simply would not be fair after the
increased activities fee and the payment
of class dues. An idea has been
formulated . and Will be put into effect
within a short period of time. It bas
been named the "nickel-dime" fund.
The way it works is very simple. Once
a week at lunch and dinner, a large
container will be placed in the cafeteria
entrance. As students go by they
can drop a nickel or dime in each week
(if one feels extravagant, maybe a
quarter!). This will have two basic re:,
ults: first, it will not seem like much
to the student who drops in a dime
once a week, yet, secondly, a considerable
amount of money could be raised
by May that could lower the price of
tickets for the weekend. All of thls
may sound a little ludicrous~ but when
you think about it, it could add up to
quite a bit, and so save you and your
classmates a few me&lliDgfal dollars.
Please bear with us during the year.
You may get sick of bearing "sponsored
by the class of '70" or you might
get sick of seeing that nickel-dime fund
sign, but just keep in mind that the
junior class is working towards the
most exciting and memorable Dogwood
Festival yet! And it is working towards
it for the classes of 69, 70, 71, and 72.
Thank you.
The Dogwood Chairmen.

Constructive Quips
To the Editor:
In paraphrase of Dr. Martin A.
Stader's letter, which appeared in the
September 25th issue of Tbe Stag.
I can deeply appreciate that which
entertains and amuses, but beavem! do
not arouse me to response! which you
to the Editor
have most alarmingly and inconsiderately
done by your much too too seriously
venomous and negative column,
NEW DffiEcriONS.
Now, it Is quite clear, Q._ay, self-evident,
obvious and unquestionable that
the follow.ing ingredients of a democracy
- dissension and criticism - and I
daresay these alone, are what make the
system work - but only if offered constructively!
Thus, honorable staff of Tbe
Stag, I, your loyal subscriber, feel in
duty bound to protest that I have been
unable to detect even one single positive,
reformative or meliorative particle of
hope in your most culpable minion's
(that is, Kevin McAuliffe's) entire unfounded
expose. Nor, naturally, shall 1
myself linger here to direct anyone to
the myriad paths to improvement of our
sacrosanct society (for you are well
aware that a professor's time is so very
limited) ; and besides! I am now here
to teach.
Thus, I do most profoundly reveal
that your most recalcitrant vassal, Kevin
McAuliffe, is guilty of ·infatuation with
words. But what be words uncoupled
with redemptive meaning? Therefore,
two words of wisdom: Be informed! For
every scientist knows that no word can
have more meaning than its proper.fact.
So onward!
But, do tell: Perhaps balefully straying
from the norm there be some wayward
and perverse desires lurking in
the innermost recesses of your writer's
mind! Else why should he cantest the
purpose whieh dorm prefects serve?
Ah-hah!
In closing, then; I advise your writer
to be more circumspect, by frightening
him with acronyms, and legal sounds
like "serious is the charge," and "presentation
of concrete evidence," and
"directives"; and further, do I conclude
for all time and for everyone that the
administration is exculpated in this matter
by virtue of my experience, and roy
experience alone; and lastly, and most
unwittingly, do I cast aspersion 11pon
that most basic unit of our great
American society, the family - only,
though, after having made two constructively
critical suggestions, neither
of which is worth mentioning here.

Correction!
To the Editor:
I would like to correct a misconception
which appeared in last week's Stag
concerning the Student Government and
the Concert for Homecoming. The Student

never worked in conjunction with the

the concert with the Lettermen. The
work was solely that of the Homecoming

'71 Council
To the Editor:
The Preside.nt of the Class of 1971
announces plans to institute what will
be known as the Sophomore Executive
Coun~il. This Council, composed of
members of '71 will serve to review
programs and projects proposed for the
Class and serve to increase communication
between the elected Class Officers
and the Class Members of '71. The duties
of the members of the Sophomore
Executive Council will be to meet with
the President and Officers when called
upon to do so, to advise the Officers of
the ideas and wishes of the '71 student
body in Class aJfairs. Members will be
expected then, to be in touch with those
they will represent. Further they will
serve on the various committees for
projects during the year, and will in
effect, add to the increased activity, participation,
and voice of the members of
the Sophomore Class.
/" Membership in the council is a strictly
voluntary one. In an effort to achieve
representation of all interested students,
and to bring together members willing
to work, election to the Executive Council
will be on a voluntary basis. That is
to say, any group of students in '71
wishing to have their views and ideas
made known to the Presiden t, simply
propose one of their group as a member
to the Council. The only restrictions are
that the number of people thus represented
be no fewer than 10 and no more
than 25, that there be no duplication of
names on any such lists, and that it Is
understood that the term of office to this
advisory council expires at the next general
election, or at any such time that
the President and his officers feel anyone
is completely negligent in his duties
of office. Any such group in the class
need merely to submit their proposed
member of the Council, with a list of
those he is to represent to Thomas
Gugliotti, Pres. '71, Box 1646. A brief
screening for duplication will be done,
and accepted members notified. Box
numbers of proposed mem~rs are also
to be included.
The resulting council will supplement
the already elected Class Representatives
and Officers.
It is hoped that interested students
will take advantage of this opportunity
to become active in their class. Students
seeking such positions are encouraged
to solicit the required number of names
for membership, as are groups encouraged
to propose members.

Rights Reject
To the Editor:
As a member of the Constitutional
Committee and chairman of the subcommittee
assigned to drafting the Bill
of Students' Rights I find the adnpnistration's
revised edition of that article
entirely unacceptable.
The intention of our committee was
to state in several unmistakably clear
terms the freedoms to which a mature
college student is entitled. While striving
to draft a bill which would not compromise
these basic rights we did not
fail to recognize and safeguard the realm
of authority reserved to the administration.
We had hoped the administrators
would receive our proposals with the
same good faith in which they were offered,
but unfortunately their initial written
response attempts a step by c;tep
curtailment. One of the nine sections is
eliminated totally while in eight of the
remaining eight sections the revised bill
imposes a clause safeguarding the administration's
present arbitrary power.
There is no room for such power in
any society, academic or political, and
we shall resist any change in the original
bill which we feel is designed to increase
or preserve that force.
While we realize the current proposals
are not final we urge the administration
to reconsider their present position
and adopt the student written bill of
rights in its original form.
Respectfully,

Mrs. Larson has been active
in University a1fairs serving as
a member of the Fairfield President's
Council.
Mr. Bannow was founder and
President of The Bridgeport
Machines, Inc., which manufactures
the "Bridgeport Miller",
a high-speed milling machine
for which Mr. Bannow designed
a master milling attachment on
the back of a paper lunch bag.
Mr. Bannow began his business
with a few employeei in
1927 and formed a partnership
with Mr. Magnus Mahlstrom in
1929. The company has grown
to a major industry employing
725 men and women. All Bridgeport
Machine employees enjoy
the benefit of one of the first
profit sharing plans established
in the United States.
The far sighted Mr. Bannow
once said "Let's turn to the
future, for there is where we
will spend the rest of our lives."
He served as President of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
whose member companiP.
s produce 75 per cent of
the manufacturing output of
the United States. Mr. Bannow
described himself as "one
of the little guys that mak<! up
83 per cent of NAM".
In addition to his business
activities Mr. Bannow was a director
of Bridgeport City Trust
Company, Bridgeport Hospital
and the Bridgeport Y.M.C.A. as
well as a trustee of the University
of Bridgeport, where he
worked hard to support the University's
development as a responsible
community service.
Fr. Mcinnes speaking of Mr.
Bannow said: "He was a humble
man with simple tastes,
who was willing to take responsibillty
for the needs of
others. He undestood the productive
power of private industry
and applied 1t t o the development
of a better community.''
The University P r e s I d en t ·
noted that Mr. Bannow often
stated that the basic purpose of
education "is to develop understanding
and knowledge, which
will make life interesting and
challenging, irrespective of the
student's chosen profession and
above all to develop and expand
the capacity of the individual."

Giusti, Dougherty Spark SHU Split
By FRANK ARMADA
Bob Giusti smacked a two
run homer to spark a ·7 run
fifth-inning uprising as Fairfield
took the tail end of a doubleheader
from Sacred Heart University,
8-5, Sunday, at Bridgeport.
Giusti's drive carried well
over 300 ft., scoring Tom Finch
who reached first on a single.
Dave Closter reached first on
an error to open the fifth. Jim
Hock singled, driving in a run
and went to second on the
throw. Mike Dougherty walked
and Skip Bolger singled to load
the bases. A wild pitch scored
a run and Eddie Wargo followed
with a two run single.
After Finch's hit drove in Wargo,
Giusti hit the long drive.
The Stags scored earlier in
the third on a single by Hock,
a double by Bolger, and Wargo's
first hit of the afternoon. Jim
Tully started for Fairfield,
pitching 2 2/3 innings and giving
up 5 runs on 7 hits and two
walks. Dougherty came in relief
to win his first game of the
year. The right-handed sophomore
pitched 4 1j3 innings in
which he allowed one hit and no
runs while fanning five. The
losers used four pitchers, all
four of which saw action in the
seven-run fifth.
Sacred Heart won the first
game, 2-1, with some fine base
running which set up both runs.
Bob Gibson started for Fairfield
and went all t.'le way. This
was Gibson's second complete
game in three starts. The Gip.
per gave up two runs on seven
hits, striking out five.
The Stags scored their only
run in the first inning, to take
an early lead. After Wargo
grounded out, Bob Castrignano
doubled to deep left and scored
on Ken Lanifero's single. Pitcher
Gibson got Fairfield's only
other hit, a single in the fifth.
Behind 1-0, Sacred Heart
came up with a run in the
fourth on a double by Hrabstock
and catcher Bernhard's
single. They took the lead ln
the fifth on three hits and two
stolen bases and never fell behind
again.
The Stags dropped their third
game of the season to New
Haven, 3-2, as Neil Olsen
singled with two out in the ninth
on Wednesday, October 2.
Bob Gibson went aU the way
for Fairfield and was the loser.
The righthander gave up 3 runs
and seven hits, walked two and
fanned five. One of the hits was
a solo homer by John McDermott
in the eighth which tied
the score 2-2.
New Haven scored first on
McDermott's first hit and Vin
Rispoli's triple. But the Stags
came back with a run in the
fifth as Stan Norman walked,
advanced to second on Gibson's
sacrifice and crossed the plate
on Skip Bolger's sacrifice fty. In
the seventh the Stags took the
lead on a single by Norman, a
double by Gibson, and an error
on Bolger's grounder by New
Haven second baseman Ramos.
John Kramicki started for
New Haven and was relieved in
the seventh, by Kevin Sheehan,
who got the decision. The Stag's
will be facing St. J ohn's University
tomorrow in New York.

It may seem that this is a

Rugby Club captain, Fairfield
is allowing the club to use
the land because the University
is not planning to use it in the

Mrs. Grauert who has been

Bill Connolly, President of the

It would not be proper if
"the n\.imber one Stag" was not
the biggest mouth on campus
(BMOC), so John Praskac certainly
fills the bill. For the
benefit of Fairfield's deaf students,
John is the t·eturning
linebacker this autumn for the
exciting club football squad.
Don Cusimano, John's roommate,
tabbed the rugged 5' 10",
190 pounder, "the number one
Stag, because John has not
missed any home football or
basketball games durin& his
stay here. In fact, John has
caught most of the away
games." Yet the serious-minded
senior is more modest in assessing
his school spirit. "Let's
say I'm the lonely Stag," John
notes. "I usually spend a fair
amount of time by myself, but
I do have the biggest mouth on
campus. I hope to become a
cheerleader this winter because
I get the greatest volume per
inch from my voice." At Fairfield,
home of volatile students,
being the BMOC is no easy
task.
Confident of WiDnlDg Mark
However, John quickly becomes
serious when he discusses
the 1968 football prospects. Last
year the football team posted Its
first winning mark (4-2), but
the slate's impressiveness is
magnilled when one realizes
that a cocky Fairfield group
was slaughtered by Iona, 35-6,
in the season opener. Fordham
handed the Stags their other
defeat three weeks later in the
game's closing minutes. Although
a linebacker ~ the key
to a team's defense, undoubtedly
the success of the club relies
upon the quarterback for it is
impossible to win if you don't
score. In 1967, Fairfield was
sparked by Brian Burke, a
senior, who displayed oustanding
leadership. This year a
green freshman, Frank Schultz,
will engineer the Stags to pay
dirt. "Frank can do the job,"
John states confidently, "He's
got quite an arm. We, the team,
are confident he will lead us to
a winning season.
"Being a member of the Fairfield
Football Club last year, especially
after losing the opening
game so badly, and our come
back to a rewarding season,
this has made me most proud,"
explains John. A 2.5 economics
student, John hopes to combine
his German minor into some line
of government work overseas.
John spent his 1967 summer
touring the Eastern sector of
the globe. As a result, John be-

r Fairfield's cross country harriers
chalked up their second
victory of the season, by wiping
out a weak Quinnipiac team.
The momentum from its first
victory over Marist seemingly
carried the injury-ridden team
to a 17-23 conquest of Quinnipiac.
Quinnipiac was only able to
place one of their runners in
the top 10 places. He finished
fourth giving the Stags a remarkable
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and
lOth places. George Train again
led the way for his teamates,
finishing first by a wide margin.
Freshmen Brian Keefe and
Kurt Rashi took second and
third. The Quinniplac man wh<:'
mentioned as finishing 4th was
ushered to the finish line by
the rest of the Fairfield team;
Marc O'Donahue, Ira Davis,
Dennis Gallagher, Rick Fitzgerald,
Skip Waite and Joe
D'Angelo.
The team, heartened by two
victories within a week's time
w e r e however disheartened
when realizing they would face
a tough Southern Connecticut
team without last year's top
runner John O'Rourke. The fact
was, a strong Southern Conn.
team trounced the Fairfield
Stags Saturday. Only George
Train who finished third, and
Jack Lauter eighth, were able
to score for the teaJIL
The freshmen, however, in
competition with the University

Seemingly, the race was

MANHATTAN MAULS STAGS 35-7
By ROBERT SILLERY
For the third time in their
three year history, the Fairfield
Football Club was unable to
post a victory in their opening
game. Manhattan College was
the spoiler this year as the
Jaspers crushed the Stags, 35-7.
It looked like a bright afternoon
for the Stags in the first
quarter when frosh quarterback
Frank Schultz directed his club
on a brilliant 81 yard touchdown
drive in 17 plays. Preceding
that drive, the defense came
up with a tremendous goal line
stand after a blocked punt had
given Manhattan the ball inside
the Stag 10.
Manhattan started gaining
momentum with halfbacks Sean
O'Keefe and Leo Mulcahey
driving through gaping holes
over left tackle, the Jaspers
drove 56 yards in 13 plays to
tie the score at 7-7.
Manhattan tallied again almost
immediately. After a fumble
by Stag fullback Howard
Emond was recovered on the
Fairfield 18, it took five plays
for Manhattan to make it 14-7.
At this point, two things were
obvious. The first was that
Manhattan's 6'3". 240 lb. defensive
tackle, Andy Asp!, was
creating a mismatch against
whoever lle was playing. The
second was that Manhattan had
discovered that Fairfield's pass-

Fairfield's hustling soccer
team came up with its first
victory of the season last week
Nith . a 4-2 win over Sacred
Heart t.P.tore falling to FairleiK}
l DicldNIIm 7 ..0.
The Stags staged a tremendous
come from behind effort to
beat Sacred Heart. Early in the
game Fairfield fell behind 2..0.
(The ftrst goal for Sacred
Heart was scored by Fairfield
due to a defensive mix up.)
Mike Foley began Fairfield's
rally by booming a line shot
over the head of the Sacred
Heart goalie. Fairfield then
went ahead with two goals assisted
by Tim Roach, Jack Mono
han scored one and Buzz Kow~
alski scored the other on a head
shot. Fairfield scored an insurance
goal on a boot by Roland
Corbin. Gary Dayon was
outstanding at goalie in a game
featuring much give and go.
Fairleigh Dickinson smothered
the Stags, utilizing a blinding
fast break. Six of their 7 goals
were tallied on the fast break.
Yesterday the Stags encountered
Fordham at home and
Saturday will take on St.
Peter's in another home game.
Falrfield now baa a 1-2 record
ing attack was non-existent,
and was playing up to eight
men on the line to shut off the
runs that had worked so well
before.
The game's crucial series
came midway through the third
quarter. The defense, led by
linebackers Moriarty and Granata,
was overwhelming the Manhattan
attack, but two personal
fouls to the punter on fourth
down advanced the ball downfield.
The defenders finally turned
the ball over, but Emond's
second fumble gave it right
back to the Jaspers on the Stag
37.
Quarterback Nick Ricci faded
and arched a pass to end Mike
Carey at the goal line. Carey,
with his back to the referee, let
it slide through his hands. The
ball hit the ground and Carey
fell on it in a cloud of dust
while the ref signaled score.
Fairfield was forced to play a
reckless, catch-up brand of
football in the final period,
and errors led to two more
Manhattan scores. Frank Schultz
was intercepted often, partially
because his offensive line
was incapable of keeping the
hard charging Jaspers from
climbing all over him. Manhat·
tan made the young frosh field
general's day miserable by repeatedly
dropping him for huge
losses.
The loss was disasterous, but
no more disasterous than the
35-6 setback received in last
year's opener against Iona.
After that contest, the Stag
gridders re-couped their forces
and captured four of the last
five contests. The comeback
trail for this year's team begins
Saturday at 2:00 against New
Haven College in a home game
at Alumni Field.

In Runaway Routs
By FRANK SANTULLI
The Fairfield Rugby Club
won its second straight match
against the University of Massachussetts
Saturday with runaway
scores of 27-0 in the "A"
game and 32-0 in the "B" game.
Fairfield's "A" team got
under way early in the first
half wh~n Tom Crowley set up
Joe Sindt for the first try.
Crowley soon tried it on his
own for the second score of the
game with a long run through
the .Massachussetts backfield.
Steve Carre was the next to
score with two successive trys
resulting from long driving runs
for a total of six points.
The "A" serum battered their
oppone:nts fiercely throughout
the entire game, with props Al
Salomone and Beef Smith continually
controlling the set
serums, while Billy Connolly
won most of the hooks. Connolly
also picked uv a loose ball
near the Massachussetts goal
and r-an over for another Red
score. Also the hard drive of
Q. Murphy and Bruce Klastow
resulted in a blocked Massachussetts
kick which Klastow
ra:n over for a try. Finally, the
Red serum fought their way
deep into scoring position, and
scru.fty serum-half, Kurt Schlichting
ran the ball over from
a set serum for the last try.
Also kicks by Fatty Maher and
Tom Krenn contributed to the
27..0 debacle.
with a pass from Jack Mara.
Bill Garrity followed with a fine
run for the final two points.
The "B" serum had no tries to
their credit, but their play was
essential in the 32..0 romp of
Massachussetts. Most notable
for their play was the fine pursuit
of Mondo Flannigan, the
aggressive push of Bob Marcavage,
and the adept play of
wing forward, Bear Sweeney."

In the "B" game, the Red
ruggers took command early in
the first half with a hard run
by Allan Perkins, who continued
to threaten the Massachussetts
backfield for a total
of four trys and 12 points to
his credit. Mark Feeley also
tied Perkins' feat with four trys
of his own, breaking through
the opposing backfield continually
while displaying his fine
running form. Myles Edwards
was next to score, as he pranced
over the Massachussetts goal
