Race Issue Confronts Father-Son Weekend
By DA VlD J)ZUJmC
News Editor
Fathers coming to Fairfield this past weekend saw, firsthand along with their
sons, the results- of what has been brewing here for quite some time. Placard-car­rying
members of the F'airfield community brought several facts concerning the
racial problem here at Fairfield to public attention.
Biafran Chairman
Before U.S. Senate
Members of several on-cam-pus
organizations and other
concerned students demonstrat­ed
in front of the Campus Cen­ter
with signs which pointed ac­cusing
fingers at the institution­al
set-up of Fairfield Universi-ty.

Protesters marching outside Campua Center last Saturday
complain of "Institutional raclsm."
On Friday, October 4, ~968, Richard D. Cunning­ham,
chairman of the Fairfield University Chapter of
the Food For Biafra Committee, fiew to Washington,
D.C. in order t o participate in testimony given before
the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on AfricaJI
Affairs.

Fairfield,. Ul.ldents carried signs
reaa'mg "Fairfield is a white
ghetto," "Chrlstl~ty ia not pure
white," "More Pureto Ricians"

To Amend
Passes Bill
Constitution
By PATRICK K . LONG
ManaglDg Eclltor
The second meeting · of the
Student Legislature, held last
Thursday night, was split wide
open by a blll which in etrect
said that the actions of the Stu­dent
Legislature were final, and
that the Administration had no
control over them.
The bW propoMd by lames
Ruane '70, changed the alxth
arUcle of the pretent Student
Constitution to read: "For adop·
tlon, future constitutions (and
the Student Government BY·
Laws) must be approved by a
majority vote of the present
Student Government. The tu·
ture coastitutlon and by-laws
thereof must be approved by a
majority <50% plua one) of the
members of the Student A.IIJo·
elation voting, ln order to be
ratUled. Once ratlfted the future
constitution (and the by-Jaws
thereof) become e!rective and
Immediately supercede all the
previoua Constitutions and By·
Laws."
The proponents of this bill
felt that its passage would en­sure
the adoption of the new
student constitution in its en­tirety
and would also mark a
new era of total independence
for the Student Government.
Those opposed to the bill felt
that since Fairfield University
is an academic community, that
all members of the community
should be involved In all deci­sions.
In addition, they felt that
If the Student Government took
on Itself the power to make its
own laws, it must also be ready
to enforce and judge them.
A walkout was staged by
those opposed to the bill, in an
attempt to prevent the bill from
being voted on due to a lack of
a quorum. However, this at­tempt
proved futile, the dissent-ers
returned, and the bill was
passed by a roll-call vote of
21-7.
Student Befereadmn
The resolution will be voted
on in a student r eferendum to
be held in conjunction with the
government elections scheduled
for November 6.
Student Government Pre•l·
dent Pblllp Howe explalned that
he did not have the power to
act on tb1a bW because. "It t.
a resolution, which cannot be
vetoed, but must be passed on
to the people ln a referendum.
The bW which wu paaee4 was
actually just a recommendation
on the part of the Legtalature
to the •tudeat body. as no legis·
lative body baa the power to
amend a coutltutlon by ltaelf."
Dt.clpllnary Board
In other action, the Legisla­ture
approved student partici­pation
in a Disciplinary Review
Board, which would rule in any
disciplinary case involving a
suspension or expulsion .
The rules were suspended so
that Chief Justice Patrick Mc­Cormack
could speak about
the proposal. The Disciplinary
Board consists of members
from the Student Association,
the faculty, and the Adminis­tration.

Senator Kennedy began the
hearings by noting the signifi­cant
contribution made toward
the feeding of starving civillans
in Nigeria-Biafra by such coun­tries
as Canada, Norway, Swe­den,
and Denmark. The Sena­tor
indicated, however, a notable
lack of response on the part of
the United States and called
upon our government to act with
a "sense of urgency, creativity
and deep compassion for those
in dire need. The newer world

Biafran Plea Before Senate
CoaUDuecJ trom Pace 1
fuge in the mundane patterns
and attitudes of the past."
Senator Kennedy recommend­ed
that immediate .action be in­itiated
through the United Na­tions
in order to recognize the
international humanitarian ob­ligations
in the present .situa­tion
in Nigeria, and that the
mandatory power of the U.N.
charter be employed to expedite
the conclusion of a "mercy
agreement" with the parties to
the Nigerian conflict. The Sena­tor
concluded by stating that,
"Let us act because it is right
to do so - because it is un­conscionable
to remain silent."
Senator Support
Mr. JamP.s MacCracben of
the Church World Service fol­lowed
Senator Kennedy and in­dicated
his support for the
Senator's suggestion that the
U.N. become actively involved.
"The answer," Mr. MacCrachen
said, "cannot be met by volun­tary
organizations. There is a
need for governmental and in­tergovernmental
activity since
the current ingoing rate of sup­plies
bas not reduced the death
rate."
Mr. Hyman BookblDder of
the American Jewish Congreaa
concurred with the need for a
masalve a.lrllft and stated that
the world Is seeing repeated,
&ea.ln, the Inhumanity Which OC·
curred tweaty-ftve yean aco
when alx mllllon J ews clled at
the hand of genocide. A aote of
encouragement waa sounded,
however, when Mr. Bookbinder
stated that for the first Ume
the three major fa.ltht were
worklDg together to seek to re·
Ueve the au1fertng of starving
clvlllau lD Nigerf&.Blafra.
Evacuate CbUdren
Mr. James Kinney of the
Catholic Relief Services follow­ed
by stating that information
from his people in the field in­dicates
that starvation is im­minent
in Federally controlled
areas. Mr. Kinney requested
that the United States use its
influence to halt foreign powers,
principally Great Britain and
the Soviet Union, from shipping
arms into Nigeria, and if the
conflict continues that children
be evacuated.
ObjecUves
Next, Mr. cutr Robertson
read a memorandum prepared
by the Food For Biafra Com­mittee
of Westport, Connecti­cut
which included the follow­ing
objectives: (1) to bring food
and medicine to the starving
children of Biafra and nursing
mothers via the urgent opening
of air corridors, and (2) to re­move
from Biafran territory for
the duration of hostilities all
those children and nursing
mothers now at critical stages
of starvation. Methods suggest­ed
for the employment of these
objectives were (1) the adop­tion
of a 48-bour cease fire so
that relief planes might enter
and exit, (2) the consequent
opening of an air corridor ln a
limited or permanent basis, and
(3) that the ambassador of the
United States to the U.N. urge
the acceptance of t b e s e
methods.
In the tesUmony of Richard
D. Cunnlngham and Mn. Bobln
Jordan for the Food For Bl&fra
Committee It wu lDdlcatecl that
the United States thoald uJrer
planes to the lntena&Uoaal Reel
Croea so that ttockpUed auppUes
on the offshore lalandl of Fer­nando
Po and Sao Tom6 might
be airlifted to women and chU·
dren who are estbnated to be
dying at a mtnlmal rate of 8,000
a da.y by starvaUon. Mrs. Jor·
dan said, "It seems Incredible
to me that the United Statea
can pick an utronaut out of
the ocean, but It C&DDot use Ita
experta to airdrop food aDd
medlclDe to •tarvtnc chUdren."
Refuge Haveu
It was further urged by the
Food For Biafra Committee
that havens of refuge be estab­lished
in neighboring African
nations for critically sick e;hil­dren
in order that they might
receive full medical treatment
administered by religious or­ganizations
(such as, CARI­TAS),
UNICEF, and the Inter­national
Red Cross. The Food
For Biafra Committee stated
that they were well on their
way to making this plan opera·
tional in that -the Ivory Coast
decided on October 1, 1968 to
set up a rehabilitation center in
its territory for children who
are victims ot starvation in
Biafra. "Because of its climate
and relative proximity to Bia­fra,"
Mrs. Jordan reported, "the
Ivory Coast is an ideal place
for Biafran children to recuper­ate
from the effects of pro­longed
starvation. Our commit­tee
will make every effort to
support the humanitarian ac­tions
now being taken by the
Government of the Ivory Coast."
Courses of AcUoo
After the Subcommittee had
adjourned, Mr. Cunningham had
the opportunity to meet and
briefly speak with Senator Mc­Carthy
who related his concern
about the situation in Biafra,
and that as chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Sub­committee
on African Affairs
he would seek to suggest
courses of action open to the
United States.
Mr. Cunnlngham alto met
with Mr. Dale de Haan, a top
aide of Senator KeDDeCiy, lD the
chambers of the Senate Sub­committee
on Refugee• and
Escapees. Mr. de Haan Indicat­ed
the concern that Senator
Kennedy baa sought to voice
over tbll matter for the put
year, ud that Uae Seaator Jau

by the fact that hla ~t Senate

devoted to Nicerta-Blafra. Sena­tor
Kennedy Ia lDtereated In en·
couractnc the conUDuecl acUvtty
of coUece and UDlverslty ata­denta
worldnJ on tbll matter.
lncreuecl AcUvtties
Mr. Cunningham indicated
that activities will be increased
on the Fairfield University cam­pus.
"My trip to Washington
made it quite clear," Mr. CUn­ningham
stated, "that there Is
no reason in the world why our
government should not act to
relieve the starvation of suffer­ing
civilians in Biafra. I cannot
see bow anyone can be com­pletely
honest in refusing to
extend Immediate aid, or in
placing Impediments in the way
of the increased shipment of
food and medical suppllea."
Circulate PeUUona
In this connection, the Fair­field
University Chapter of FBC
intends to circulate petitions
urging our officials to act
through the U.N. or other in­ternational
organizations. These
petitions will. be forwarded to
individuals who can do a great
deal of good, and who merely
need an indication of support
from among the people in order
to act. Furthermore, the Food
For Biafra Committee is ur­gently
. seeking funds so ·that it
might evacuate Biafran children
from the war torn areas of NI­geria,
and to fly them to the
Ivory Coast where food and
medical facilities might prop­erly
treat them for the effects
of prolonged and acute starva­tion.
"This is a specific goal," ·
Mr. Cunningham added, "that
is practical and etrective. For
three dollars a day we can sus­tain
the life of one child. 1t is
our hope that students will seek
to sponsor as many children as
possible in this way."
Speaking Propam
In addition to these activities,
the Fairfield University Cba~
ter of FBC plans to supply
much needed information to
students concerning the current
situation in Biafrl\. This infor­mation
will be in the form of
a special speaking program to
be offered Thursday, October
17, 1968 at 8:00 p.m. in the
Oak Room of the Campus Cen­ter.
Speakers to date include
Father Patrick Smith of the
Holy Ghost Missionary Society,
Mr. George T. Orick of
UNICEF, and a Biafran.
Father Smith hu been a mla·
slonary teacher In Blafra for
lllneteen years, and Mr. Orick

Describing himself as "a bad little booger from Alabama," Presidential can­didate
George Wallace appeared at Bridgeport Airport Tuesday, October 8. Speak­ing
before a crowd of approximately 2,000 supporters and 850 demonstrators, Mr.
Wallace elaborated on his law and and order platform and spoke on the Vietnam
war.
Referrtnc to the war 1n south-east
Asia, Mr. Wallace said, C j
"We are In Vietnam whether we
like it or not . . . that's water
over the dam." He continued,
"We should have never gone to
Vietnam by ourselves," but
rather should have sought the
aid of our European alUes.
He pointed to the Paris peace
talks and said, "I would rather
negotiate and when you're
strong you Cbll negotiate." But
be went on to add that if nego­tiations
fall be would approach
the joint chiefs of staff "and
ask them to win the war mlll­tarily
with CODVeDUODal wea­poaa."

A wide range of special
events is planned for this year,
including talks by leading men
of our times in the Bellarmine
Series. Beginning the Bellar­mine
Series this year will be a
debate by Father John Carri­gan,
against an opponent soon
to be named.
Father Carrigan strongly op­poses
birth control and came
out vehemently against Pope
P;aul VI's latest encyclical con­cerning
the regulation Of
birth, He led a group of pro­testors
who publicly opposed
the encyclical. Mainly because
of his actions be bas been
stripped of just about all of his
priestly responsibilities.
Recently, Father Carrigan ap­peared
on the Huntley-Brinkley
show to state his case. In the
debate, scheduled for October
23 at 8 p.m. in the Campus
Center, Father Carrigan will
present his views against his
opponent who will back the

Oachoelo'VU Speaker .
On Wednesday, November 6,
Dr. Ivan Svitak, Professor of
Philosophy at Prague-Charles
University, will speak about the
a ttempted liberalization in the
Czechoslovll'kian government.
Dr. Svitak was giving a sym­posium
in Austria durlni the
Russian take-over of Czechos­lovakia
and was able to leave
Austria following hll engage­ment
and remain free in the
United States where he became
a fellow at Columbia Universi­ty.
He is currently in the pro­cess
of writing a book on the
experiment in Czechoslovakia
that falled. The topic for his
speech here will be "Czech
Crisis - Analysis and Predic­tion."
Tumlng to the domestic
scene, Mr. Wallace renewed his
call for law and order saying
that the courts have made "sec­ond
class citizens of the pollee
and fireman." He refuted the
claims of his opponents that his
support is isolated, saying, "It
is not spotty and It is not sec­tional."
He added, "We've got
some red necks In other parts
of the country now." He rebuk­ed
the two national parties
claiming that they have "paid
no attention to the aspirations
of the average American citi­zen."
CISL Plans Coming Year
Mr. Julian Bond of Georgia
will speak Thursday, December
5. He played an important role
as a black politician in the
Democratic National Conven­tion.
According to Mrs. Audrey
Thompson, Director of Special
Events, "He is a very sought
after person."
Another area of special events
will be the periodic art exhibits
in the Campus Center. Now on
exhibititlon until November 4
are the works of Harvey W:eiss,
Currently in the Oak Room Gal­lery
is an exhibition by twelve
area women painters, several of
whom have exhibited their
works throughout the coUntry.
Also coming up is an exhibition
of brush sketches by Paul Non­ay.
He and his one man show
appeared in the Oak Room last
year.
Mr. Wallace's speech was In­terrupted
several times by
chants such as "Bombs away
with Curt LeMay", "George Go
Home", "Sieg HeU", to which he
responded, "I thought we got rid
of all the Nazis In World War
U, but It looks like we've got
a few here".
He renewed his attack against
open housing legislation claim­ing
that Congress has "kow­towed
to a group of anarchists."
He claimed that related court
rulings have served only to
"destroy that adage, 'A man's
home is his castle.' You can get
arrested for selling your home,"
he said.
No BualDc
He pledged to "return the
local government to the people"
and objected to the "federal
interference" with local pub­tic
school systems in the coun­try
saying, "Not one federal
dime is going to be used to bus
one person anywhere."
The demonstrators represent­ed
the trl-unlversltles of Sacred
Heart, University of Bridgeport,
and Fairfield.
There was also a small group
calling themselves Fairfield Uni­versity
for George at the air­port
When asked why they
were in favor of Wallace, a
spokesman for the group, Phil­ip
Barone, '69, replied, "Be­cause
he's the man." When
asked again, he replied, "Be­cause
we like him." And when
asked a third time he said, "Be­cause
we dig him."
Mr. Wallace later spoke at
Avco-Lycoming Corporation be­fore
a crowd of 6000.
By OOLJN· KILEY
In a recent meeting, Fair·
field University's chapter ot the
Connecticut Intercollegiate Stu­dent
Legistlature (CISL) com­menced
its 1968 year with its
first meeting. Primarily an or·
ganlzational gathering, p 1 a n a
for the ensuing months were
discussed. These p 1 a n s will
eventually culmlnate In the
M a r c b state-wide convention
which includes 17 college dele­gations.
At present, the plans include
interclub meetings with Albertus
Magnus, St. Joseph, and Sacred
Heart. The first meeting on a
state level is scheduled for Oc~
ber. Mr. Michael J an s on
a Fairfield senior delegate, said
that "while this meeting will
basically have the purpose of
establishing a schedule for the
months that lie ahead. It will
be unique in one r espect, in
that the legislature will bold a
mock presidential election which
includes the three nationally
recognized candidates. Hubert
Humphrey, Richard Nixon and
George Wallace for the purpose
of transmitting the results of
bow we voted as representa­tives
of 17 colleges."
Statewide Beoopltlon
Last year it was Mr. Janson
who brought Fairfield statewide
recognition. He w a s elected
House Majority leader, marldng
the first time since 1959 that
a Fairfield student had been
elected to one of the statewide
posts. He was elected to the
blghly coveted position by an
overwhelming majority.
The workings of CISL are
basically the same as on the
state level. A bill passed by the
17 colleges Is given to the state
legislature for approval, and if
approved, the bill becomes state
law. In 1967 a bill proposed by

ECLECTIC
A CAUSE TO DEMONSTRATE
In our country there has evolved a cowboy culture that bu
invaded our homes through television and advertising and now
has a predominant control over our minds. It is that cool man
riding on a horse, smoking a cigarette that I am talking about.
It is that roughneck that storms into a saloon with complete
abandon. It is the image of America, and it is sick.
I cannot imagine why Americans walk around so stunned
when a Kennedy or a Martin Luther King is shot. They see it on
television every night and should by now have developed a total
unconcern for kUling and killers since they have been taught
graphically since birth that these men are cool. I do not under­stand
why students can be so alarmed at police brutality when
they watch westerns like drug addicts. How can I blame the
bourgeois for demanding more police protection when all they are
asking for is a marshal when "the boys" come into town.
How can you convince people not to shoot people or bully
them when this type of thing is raised on a pedestal and pointed
to as the beau ideal day in and night out How then can you blame
the Catholic Church for being out of it, or how can you believe
your eyes at demonstrations for peace? This is the America I see,
one that struts across the nation with a gun and holster and wears
a peace placard on his back.
When I say that I am for gun control, I mean I am for con­trol
of this sick mind. When I say I do not want policemen in the
twentieth century to strut around with guns, I mean I want them
to be respected humans not young toughs. That they should be
higher paid and not regarded as village drop outs. That they should
be called men not "'dirty coppers." Ours is the only country in
the world whose policemen carry guns. They do not "wear" guns
as some others would have us believe. (These things are real, lest
we forget.) That there are a few trigger happy military forces in
the world I will admit. But why should our country, the most
civilized (so we think,) be so uncivilized?· It is a good question,
and I would like an answer.
Chopping away at that block of granite that is our "cultural"
heritage will be a tiring procedure, but it will have to be done if
we expect to see our nation grow in maturity. That the crime
rate has risen is a fact That guns are as available as com flakes
and as currently American is painfully apparent, and that Con­gress
is about as slow as the bourgeois are thick is now a Con­gressional
Record. I cannot be satisfied with a token bill restrlct­ing
the mailing of guns. There should be more, much more, and
that Americans, particularly American stud~nts, have not even
raised one voice of disapproval or have led one demonstration
protesting the perverse adulation of guns is an error, is something
we are overlooking. We have our demonstrations for peace: we
have our demonstrations for black freedom, where are our dem,on­strations
for gun control?
The latest victim was the brother of a Fairfield student shot
In the face in Dayton. He·may be blinded for life because of some­one
else's blindness and some of our own. Do not abhor what the
policemen do. Do not call them "pigs" unless you get to the heart
of the matter and reverse this psychology for law and order. No
law and order is meaningful without justice. No law and order
and justice can be administered with guns and gunslinger control.
Do not glamorize the West. The West was a period of frustration.
and little happiness. We do not honor the pioneers by glamorizing
the things they hoped to change.
Guns then must go. They are an anachronism: they are a
..,useum piece. They are primitive. What games do our children
! The games we played when we were children, like cowboys
an<1 Indians, cops and robbers, and soldiers and war. To see chil·
dren playing at our mistakes: how revealing. To let them pretend
at tragedy and to play it ourselves: how perverse.
I am not be!ng so idealistic as to advise snapping ~ngers and
making all guns disappear. I am advising for the better health of
this nation a sincere attempt at gun control. The recent bill passed
in Congress is a beginning but only that. I think the first and most
important reappraisal should be made regarding our outdated and
primitive police force. They have become the mental retardation
of the nation and it is because of our malignant obsession with
television westerns that this has come about. My proposal Is to
suggest a peaceful demonstration for a change in our society
namely that of ridding it of two cancers. One, that there should
be a reevaluation of the policeman, his role, his paycheck, and his
costume. Two, that there be a stop put to the incessant propaganda
for violence being given In addicting doses by the mass media.
Unless these two evils are sent back to hell do not cry on mY
shoulder at the 'death of another hero.
THE STA6 October 16. 1968 THI STA.
Tokenism, Racism, And Real Equality
It all seemed very absurd to many, completely irrelevant to
others, and long overdue to a few. But the student demonstration at
this year's Father-Son Weekend focusing on the race issue, at last,
provoked thought and meaningful dialogue on a subject that has been
noticeably ignored here. These "concerned" protestors, along with
ourselves in recent editorial comment, have negatively charged this
university with a kind of " institutional racism" . Such a charge merits
explanation, interpretation, and solution, and is not merely a source
of frustrated condemnation.
Quite simply, the set-up of this institution is such that it dis­courages
blacks from applying here. As far as we can see, there has
been no concerted effort to racially equalize this environment, to
make blacks feel that they belong here. The potential black applicant
looks at a student body of over 1600 students and sees only a handful
of fellow blacks. When he turns to the faculty and administration, he
discovers that these are completely "lily-white," with the exception
of one Negro professor now on sabbatical. Who can he identify with?
And that, we feel, is the heart of the problem.
No one can doubt the sincerity of Father William Mcinnes or
the dedication of Father Henry Murphy. For the fault is a corporate
one - it lies with the institution.
We feel, as do the members of the Youth Interracial Council,
that we have been "culturally and educationally deprived" by the
extremely limited contacts with black students, faculty, and admin­istrators.
In fact, we f ully agree with and endorse the Y.I.C. propodal
in its entirety. .
We call for the hiring of a black recruiter now while the college
application rush is just beginning.
We call for a conscious effort on the part of the Admissions of­fice
to provide for a sizable increase in the number of black, Cuban,
and Puerto Rican students in the incoming Class of 1973. Tokenism
is no longer acceptable.
We call for all necessary academic and financial aid to these
underprivileged students.
Changes in policy, however, are just the beginning. This past
weekend's activities showed that too many Fairfield students have
been content to let their parents do their thinking for them. We re­ject
the drugstore liberalism espoused by the nouveau rich. The time
has come for us to think in terms of love, compassion, and concern,
not in dollar signs.
There are too many of us who refuse to think, to be concerned
about our fellow man. The appearance of a "Fairfield University For
George" committee in Bridgeport last week is a disgrace to this
academic community. We cannot understand how those who call
themselves Christians can stand in defense of a man whose very
candidacy is a contradiction of fundamental Christian principles.
"Institutional racism," then, is of an unconscous, accidental na­ture.
A refusal to recognize the Y.I.C. proposal as an excellent op­portunity
for administration, faculty, and students to remedy the
situation can be interpreted as nothing less than intentional, conscious
racism in the 'VI all ace tradition.
Cox Report: A Look In The Mirror
The Cox Commission has delivered its findings on what really
rocked Columbia University last spring. The report has been some­thing
of a newer, smaller-scale Kerner Commission in the sense that
in order to tell the truth about the situation, the Commission had to
verbally humiliate the people who, in a surge of moral rectitude,
hired them (the administration) and had to alienate most of those who
profess. to have easy solutions to such turbulent matters (the police,
the "conspiracy" theorists).
We are also struck with the fact that the findings and recom­mendations
of the Commission bear a striking resemblance to what
should be said about the status quo of this university. Like it or not,
the grievances on this. campus are beyond Columbia proportions. We
are fortunate, however, that campus uprisings are traditionally the
work of highly intelligent people - a commoaity with which we are
not exactly overrun.
The three causes of the turmoil were ( 1) administrative au­thoritarianism,
which even conservative students openly admit to

here; (2) the corrosive quality of student life; (3) alienation of
blacks. The Columbia Administration was accused of "evasive im­provisation"
on campus reform, putting "students' problems at the
bottom" of "the scale of priorities" and failure to let students "mean­ingfully
influence" their situation. It noted "administrative intrac­tability
and resistance to change," and condemned "any tendency to
treat a university as a business enterprise with faculty as employees
and students as customers. " Our Administration should well heed
John Gardner of the Urban Coalition, who recently remarked to the
effect that any college running itself like a grocery store must expect
that its students will buy their Wheaties and walk out, period.
The faculty came under fire as "remote from the problems" at
. hand, and since it did not help to formulate policy, it gave the school
no '"coherence." Now that the Student Legislature is at last repre­senting
the students' best interests, our faculty just might have to
start mediating campus disputes. Are they up to it?
The Commission, however, was hardly deluded into an endorse­ment
of student violence, and those students who seek to change this
school would do well tr remember that they are something of a
foray behind an enemy's ines that must avoid engagement with him.
They have something of a special responsibility to make revolution
respectable here where it is most vulnerable. Violence is insanity
and an institution clin$rlng to vestiges of the latter cannot therefor~
be cleansed with the former. Confrontation is one thing combat is
quite another. '
Legality vs.- Morality
Last week the Berrigan brothers, both Roman Catholic priests,
and seven companions were found guilty of interfering with the
draft. Once again the court has washed its hands of the moral ques­tions
concerning the Vietnam conflict. The decision concerning their
"crime" came as no surprise to anyone familiar with the circum­~
tances. Law has indeed, it seems, been placed above moral values
m our country.
We commend and sympathize with the Catonsville Nine and
with the seven Jesuits on this campus who supported and collected
for "The Catonsville Nine Defense Committee." The courage and
moral conviction of all of these men is reassuring in a country that
has divorced humanity from legality. As Catholics, we find their
actions particularly encouraging in the light of what has amounted to
complete silence on the part of many American priests and bishops.
But we have faith in young America, and feel certain that the
day is rapidly approaching when our government's legalized, bother­some
infringement will be universally rejected. The day is coming
when all the concerned people of t l,is country will unite and say, as
did the Nine, "This war stops here."

From The Student Government President
To the Student Association :
On the tenth of October the Student Legislature passed a
Constitutional Amendment, ameftding Article Six of the present
Constitution to remove the Dean of the University and the Presi­dent
of the University from the approval of a new Constitution,
and also, in effect, removing them from the necessity of agreeing
to the provisions of the new Constitution. If the University does
not then agree to the new Constitution and the Legislature should
summarily declare that document in effect, the University would
not really be bound to uphold the provisions of that Constitution.
The members of the Legislature really desire recognition of thE;
Student Bill of Rights and all other provisions of the new Con­stitution.
By passing that amendment last Thursday night, the
Legislature illogically and unconstitutionally removed the pro­cedure
and possibility of such University recognition and support
for the new Constitution. They may disregard this fact, but anyone
of keen observation knows that the new Constitution is worthless
If not supported and honored by the entire University community.
I say that this recent act of the Legislature is unconstitutional
because it violates the nature of the Student Government Consti­tution,
which is a contractual agreement between the students and
the University Administration, which is chartered by the State of
Connecticut with certain rights and powers. The Legislature has
violated this contract. This contract is bilateral and one of mutual
Interest. The University has granted some of its powers of con­ducting
a university to a student governing body and encouraged
the students to participate in the University community, and to
recommend to the University community measures and programs
of importance to the student. Such is all part of the educational
process, to learn by the experience of participating in the orderly
operations of the University. Such a contract can only be abro­gated
by mutual consent of both parties. It should be clearly noted
that the Acl!mnistration of Fairfield University derives its powers
from its Charter, granted by the State of Connecticut. The powers
of the Student Government are enhanced by the support it re­ceives
from the student body, increasing its prestige and influence.
The Legislature has exceeded its legal bounds. It seeks student
autonomy, but the relations between all three segments o: the
University are too closely lnterwined to permit even the thought
of secession by any one segment from the University. They seek
power, yet ref\tse the responsibility that comes with power. They
refuse to research issues, refuse to talk to faculty or adminisi.ra­tors
to secure their viewpoints on an issue, but rather are smugly
contented with their own particular and peculiar viewpoin's. They
claim student backing, yet few legislators talk to their fellow stu­dents.
If they did they would find that student support was for the
brave minority of legislators who opposed this rash, illogical, and
unconstitutional act.
It is not the purpose of my administration to gain student
autonomy. Rather, the goals are to secure the establishment of
the tripartite court, the tripartite council for the University, and
to place at least two voting students on most or all of the Uni­versity's
committees. The students have valuable ideas which de­serve
to be heard and implemented. Why work from without
when it is so much easier to participate from within the organiza­tion.
I ask that the students defeat this proposed amendment on
election day, and then turn their efforts towards real meaningful
reform.
PhWp S. Howe
President, Student Government
LEITERS TO THE EDITOR l
From the Legislators sented student opinion it has been dis­counted
as misrepresenting that opinion.
It has bent over backwards in its at­tempt
to win for the students even a
mere semblance of power, but has al­ways
been called upon to make com­promises
that are absurd (witness the
administration's proposed Bill of Stu·
dent Rights).
To the Editor:
It is probable that after one of the
·first progressive acts passed by the Fair­field
University Student Legislature. that
some ind.ivlduals, as usual, will attempt
to undermine the importance of this act
and seek to misrepresent it in the eyes
of the stuc!ents. As legislators we have
therefore decided to explain and c!efend
our actions of last Thursday night.
The act to which we refer is an
amendment to Article 6 of the present
Student Government Constitution. Un­der
this amendment the Student Gov·
ernment will no longer submit any
amendment on revision of its constitu­tion
to the administration of Fairfield
University for approval.
While in the eyes of many this act
may appear to be a rash and Irrespon­sible
one we can assure that it was un­dertaken
with full realization of its im.­pact
on the very future of this Univer­sity.
Justification for this action is as
follows:
The Student Government has, in the
past, been for all intents and purposes
a powerless and stagnant organization.
Where It has tried to influence, it has
been thwarted and when it has repre-
On defending the government's past
irrelevancy some legislators would have
us believe that our Constitution is a con­tract
with the administration. However,
contracts are made between equals and
it is obvious that at Fairfield University
the concept of equality is a meaningless
one since the administration's philosophy
of "in loco parentis" destroys all equal­ity.
Others stated that we would not
break faith with the administration.
This also is ludicrous for a person can
not break faith with another when he is
merely asserting that which concerns
only himself.
In conclusion we would ask you to
support this amendment with the knowl·
edge that because of it the Student Asso­ciation
will finally attain the rights that
it so desperately needs and the power
that it so rightfully deserves.
Respectfully.

insistence that theatre 11 not

it was in New Haven, to the
great consternation of'the local

behind this seema to have been
best summarized in a cry from
the staee, "There 1s no eod but

or artist comes out with a series of albums, the listener tends to develop patterns
of response which are generated only by that group. (For instance, could you say

Th1l columnist, having been cauibt between a Fatbei--soo
Weekend and a demonstration, would like to address himself to
the freshman class and the now departed homeward freshman
fathers : In my four years at Falrfteld. this weekend bu been tbe
most slgniftcant. My father was chairman of the weekend and
his son in the demonstration on Saturday. We set aloq ftDe.
Speaking for himself, this col\mmlst would like to attempt
to explain to the freshmen. especlally ttw.e with a low oplnloo
of S.O.S., what he feels it is all about. I apeak for myself. S.D.S.
at Falrfteld in my view is composed of_campus anti-war people,
who were anti-war when it was not nice to be so, and have paid
for it, a few people who have gotten their heads broken for theft
beliefs, many anti-war McCarthy people, concerned liberals, sev­eral
fun loving· unclasaifiables, a few haniera-on who conalder the
whole thing camp, and a very few dedicated people wbo ftrm1y be­lieve
that American society is bypocritlcal and 11 raping the world.
Actually, however, I would venture to say that everyone in the
group and many who are not, are a little bit of all of theM
Umlted clasalficatlona. 'Ibe Y.I.C. and the black students who par­ticipaled
and conducted the demonstration do not by any reasaDil
necessarlly"fall into these clasaificatlons. On1y they can say tbelr
own thing. ·
Although many of the freshmen are, no doubt, up in arms
about the fact that S.O.S. messed over their fathers' minds, lf not
their own, I feel that what went on this weekend was basically
productive. S.O.S. is probably never golnl to be a popular or­ganization
on this campus for too many students wlll use areneral­izatlons,
ii.Dd stereotypes to dismiss it. S.O.S. will in ~reneral use
the same on the freshmen.
The S.O.S. people if I .may say so, especially those that are
seniors, are tired. They are getting very tired of demonstrations.
they are getting tired of trying to lnfiuence the student body. You
can ask how can this be so after one month of school. Well first
of all there has been an S.D.S. at Fairfield for three years, for
the minds of the people make the organization not the name.
"The people" have been around for a 10111 time. Peace viglls
of the early months of 1967 elicited the same response your fathers
gave, more violent in fact. Now it can be easily stated that the.
campus is overwhelmingly anti-Vietnam, when then it was not.
But this is of no concern of "the people" for they had to pay for
their views, on the issue while you in general do not. Today they
are paying for a view in the hope that some day you may ·not
have to. It is not that "the people" are a group of masochlsts on
an earo trip, but really feel that what they are doing is meaningful
and that if it hurts, it hurts: in jail, prison, or on the campus.
They may be entirely wrong, and 1 feel, would stand up to tbla
Tealizatlon better than to discover themselvea entirely correct in
their analysis of the world.
They did not undertake the demonstration to discredit you
or to hurt the school. If anyone was to be hurt it would have been
them, far more than you; for they 'would have been out of school
and you still in· it. Th1l may yet happen. They are very easy to
analyze and very difficult to understand. They do not want you
to join them. only to listen and go the way of your own conscience.
If anything they want you to be very human, and yery concerned.
They did th.is thing to your fathers and the adminiltratl011 for ~
same reasons. They have few opinions anymore. Their acts are
based on convictions and they look for :vour opinions. But they are
still, I feel, getting very tired and this is a bad tblni·
Just a few words on the day itself. Father Coughlin really
came across to me as knowing what it is all about. I tend to
think that of all the administration he just might know the ugly
and the beautiful, and if so is the first true Fairfield admlniatrator.
Some of the admlnistration seemed especially trigger happy,
notably Mr. Gri1fin and Mr. Donohue. >Mr. Bianchi once qain
came across as Mr. Bianchi. I still do not feel that Father Mc­Innes
understands. In general then freshmen, S.O.S. does not
have the answers, just a great many questions. There was a
demonstration because there had to be a demonstration . .I have
served my time at Fairfield and have enjoyed it In four years, I
think I have raised a few questions. All "the people" have done so.
We have tried to awaken Fairfield, and we have succeeded. Now
you must justify.

Free University, .which was
formed last October at the in­stigation

felt the need for a dynamic
forum on campus for the (iiscus·

were Invited to participate as
well as students. A few faculty
members accepted this tnvita-tlon;
however, they were also
qulte willing to lecture. Among
last year's lecturers were Dr.
Albert Abbott, Father James
Coughlin, S.J., Mr. Walter Petry
plus many others. Guests were
also brought in to lecture, such
as Professor Howard Parsom of
the University of BridgePort
and Bruce Payne of Yale.
The Free University held ita
first meeting of the year last
week. Bruce Schauble, last
year's chairman, presided over
the meeting. Mr. Schauble said
that "this year the Free Univer­sity

publlc, something which It
failed to do last year." Thf·
would give members of the COlT.

gether with students and dfs..
cuss problems of vital interest.
At the first meeting Mr. Rob­ert
O'Connell, a new addition to
Fairfield's history department,
was chosen to be this year's
faculty adviser.

C 2 in the other chairty win.
Defense Stroug
As evidenced by the five
shutouts in the six games com­pleted,
defense , was the strong
point in the opening games.
ND. 2 defeated ND. 1 by vir­tue
of an interception return
for a 35 yard T.D. Ed Smith
picked off the first-half aerial
and took it in for the game's
only score. Omck DeAngelis
and Fred Basilico · were out­standing
in the defensive sec­ondary
along with linebacker
Smith. The other League A
battle saw Fairfield Beach
shutout Regis 3, 8-0. Quarter­back
Ed Boudreault hit senior
Tom Sweeney on a "sleeper''
play for the game's only touch­down.
The rugged beach line
pressured the R 3 s o p h s
throughout, registering a safety
to round out the scoring.
The opening day game in
League B was also a tight de­fensive
struggle. Regis 1 was
put to the test by ~e spirited
squad of frosh from .L 2, but
managed to pull out a 6-0 vic­tory.
Tom Miller spotted Phil
"Stahl the Man" Stahlman for
a 40-yard scoring pass midway
in the second half. The R 1

magazine has rated Notre Dame No. 1 with

scorers, Bob Arnzen and Bob Whitmore back and an
outstanding crew of sophomores led by Austin Carr
and Sid Catlett ... Both boys played their high school
basketball at DeMatha High School in Washington,
D.C .. .. Villanova is rated as No. 4 in the nation mainly
due to the return of Johnny J ones and the debut of
Howard Porter who averaged 30 points and 21 re­bounds

the midst of a "rebuilding" year ... Ken Boyer, Zolio
Versailles and Elston Howard, all former MVPs will be

begin to pick their selections ... West Haven High
School (No. 2 in Connecticut) defeated District League
rival Hamden 95-6 Saturday afternoon . . . Yale con.:

impressive victory over UCLA. The Packers continued
to be the great enigma of pro football Sunday as they
dropped a 16-14 decision to the Los Angeles Rams ...
The Packers played without the services of Bart Starr

Packers won without Starr, Grabowski, and Pitts who

the Metropolitan Bridgeport In­terscholastic
Athletic Confer­ence
Cross Country champion.
In high school George also ran
outdoor track and played foot­ball
through his junior year.
Loet De8.lre
Due to his solid track back­ground,
George decided to con­tinue
his distance running at
the Jesuit ihstitution. However,
the emotional underclassman
quickly lost Interest in track
because the Stag teams were
exceptionally poor. "My first
two years were extremely frus­trating,"
the redlsh-halred har­rier
remarked, "there was very
little spirit or participation.
"Therefore," George continued,
"the teams were weak. Hence,
my performance f e 11 otf."
George simply lost his desire.
It appeared he would be for­ever
content with mediocrity.
However, the class of 19'71
offered Coach Nick Giaquinto's
forces much optimism. Led by
standouts John O'ltourke and
Mark O'Donoghue, George was
at the crossroads: he could
either "put-out" or concede vic­tory
to the ambitious newcom­ers.
Fortunately, George chose
wisely.
This year George has finished
in the premier trio each time
out However, he has failed to
achieve one of his goals -
beating Southern Connecticut.
"We were without John O'­Rourke
for that meet. He's ow
best runner," the modest lead­er
notes. "Still we are assured
of our first winning season.
There is a possibility of maybe
two more loses, so the highpoint
of my career wlll be participat­Ing
on Fairfield's first winning
cross country team."
'Stupid' ONB FaD
The mathematics major with
the boyish grin, George enjoys
dating a young co-ed from the
College of New Rochelle. The
amiable senior particularly en­joys
the Cobblestone in addition
to playing ping pong or shooting
hoops. Also, George is one of the
elite ( T) seniors living on cam­pus
this year. Ron Beattie, his
roommate explains, "we 'r e
stupid". George concedes, add­ing,
"I felt it might have been
an inconvenience with cross
country and track to live of­campus.
But, we were stupid."
Aithough George will not be

runner the school has produced,
he is, without doubt, one of
the gutsiest runners who ever
trudged from Canislus to Xav­ier.
Last Spring George enjoyed
his greatest afternoon in a tri­meet

Bridgeport and SC, emerging

two mile events. Oh yes, George

Rout NH 28-8;
Schultz Stars
By ROBERT SILLERY
In crushing an inept New
Haven squad 28-8, the Fairfield
Football Club set the stage for
a long-awaited rematch with
the highly-rated Rams of Ford­bam
thls Saturday at 1:30 at
Jack Coffey Field.
The Rams enter the encount­er
with a Z-1 record. Fordham
baa reglstered a 12·'7 win over
Detroit and a SZ·l6 triumph
over St. John's, w.hUe bowing to
Vanity Sewanee, Zl-0. They are
currently ID the thJck of the
fight for the number one spot
among club teams and a win
over the Stags could push them
to the top. Fairfield's win over
New Raven evened the Stags
mark at 1-1.
The Stag gridders still re­member
last year's bitter 21-19
defeat, when a long, blooping
pass was completed in the last
minute to set the stage for a
heart-breaking loss to Ford­ham.
The Stags spotted the
Rams an early lead, came roar­ing
baok and had Fordham on
the ropes .only to lose on a pass
from quarterback Frank Keefe
t.o fullback Pete Signori
Against New Haven, the club
rallled from a lethargic first
half with a sparkllng puslng
attack by Frank Schultz to
subdue the Elm Cltymen. The
Stags traveled 140 yards ID the
a1r and 18'7 yards along the
ground. F1anker Reuben Brad­ford
amassed 11 '7 total yards,
'70 ID the airways and 4'7 rush­ing.
Boward Emond was the
Stags' leading rusher with 6Z
yards.
The one tarnishing aspect was
New Haven's 178 yards passing.
A statistic like this cannot be
repeated again s t Fordham.
More encouraging was the mea­ger
31 yards let up on the
ground by the Stag line of
Rosendahl, S u 1 i k, Hankard,
Ketterer, Granata, and Mori­arty.
John Langan made the
defense impervious to sweeps
around the corner.
Another encouraging n o t e
was the return of runner Rich
Gaeta t.o a form resembling
what he was last year. The
hard-driving senior came in
when Ed Journalist was in·
jured and scored twice.
Fairfield's first score came
midway through the second
quarter. A partially deflected
punt gave the Stags the ball
on the New Haven 35. Frank
· Schultz's pass to end Joe Di­Blasi
brought the ball to the
11, and from there Gaeta bulled
his way in for six points. End
Bob Piazza took a pass from
Schultz for the two-point con­version
and an 8-0 lead.
The Stags scored a g a in,
quickly and automatically. From
his 48, Schultz arched a pic­(

As Monahan Stars
By DAVID CAISSE
Fairfield's rapidly improving
soccer team raised its won-lost
record to 3-2 {3-0 at home) by
edging Fordham 3-2, and van·
quishing St. Peters, 5-l last
week.
Tim Roach assisted all three
goals in the Fordham contest
Jack Monahan scored a goal
with two minutes remaining to
break a 2-2 deadlock. The other
two goals were scored by Ron­ald
"The Fleet" Corbin and Dan
Wilcox in a hard-eatned vic­tory.
The Stags used impressive
teamwork as they demolished
St. Peters. Fairfield's stingy de­fense
was able to keep the ball
out of their territory for most
of the game.
Fullback Tom "Bear" Moy­lan
was a thorn in the side of
St. Peters ali afternoon, con­tinuously
breaking up their of­fensive
drives. The only score
by St. Peters came on an indi­rect
kick in the third period.
Fairfield scored twice in the
first period on a penalty kick
by Tim Roach and a goal by
Dan Wilcox. The Stags scored
again in the second period when
Jack Monahan broke through
the St. Peters defense and
slammed the ball into the net.
In the final quarter the Stags
completed their scoring on goals

o~Rouke~s Return
Paces Harriers
Recovering from acute paroti­dis,
John O'Rourke bounced
back to paral.y:ze a Fairfield,
New HJlven and Sacred Heart
field of runners. His blistering
pace not only left all runners
200 yards behind, but allowed
his time of 28:11 to set a new
school record for the 5 mile
course. The time was the sec­ond
fastest ever run on the
Fairfield course.
The Sacred Heart runner who
pushed O'Rourke for the first
half of the race finished sec­ond.
He was followed by George
Train, Jack Lauter and Brian
Keefe. New Haven placed two
runners before Ira Davis, Marie
O'Donaghue and Joe D'Angelo
which rounded out the scoring
for Fairfield. The 1, 3, 4, 5, 7,
8, 9, and tenth places gave them
the contest over the New Haven
and Sacred Heart teams.
O'Rourke nearly bettered the
course mark in his next outing
in a tri-meet with New Haven
College and Clarke University.
The Stags' brilliant sophomore
x:an 27:56, six seconds shy of
the course mark. However,
O'Rourke made a wrong turn
and ran an extra half-mile.
Fairfield led New Haven and
Clarke respectively, 24-44-66.
George Train finished second for
the Stags.
The Stag's record now stands
at five wins and one loss. Last
year's record for the entire sea­son
was two wins and six losses.
Therefore, there is strong senti­ment
that the Harriers will
claim their first winning sea­son
in the near future.

The Fairfield Rugby Club ·'A"
team won their third and fourth
straight games of the season
last weekend. The Stags crush­ed
Cornell Medical School, 38-3,
and then beat Fordham, 17-3,
at Manhattanville.
In the match against Cornell
Med, Fairfield wasted little time
in scoring as Q. Murphy gra~
bed the ball from a loose serum
and ran across for a try. Then
Pat Burke set up Steve Ryu
for the second try of the game,
followed by a perfect point
after by Tom Krenn. Steve Car­re
was next to score from a
line-out as he ran a tough 25
yards for the next try. Bruce
Klastow scored twice in the
game, once from an intercepted
Cornell pass, and next by a
hard 30 yard run. For his ef­forts,
Klastow earned the MVP
award from the Father-Son
Weekend committee.
13ob Money scored next with
a drive from 10 yards, after
which Krenn kicked pairs of
extra points and penalty kicks,
for his 12 point t.otal. Speedy
Steve Ryan then scored twice,
once on a fine movement by the
entire backfield, and next on
his own merit from 40 yards
out. Cornell scored only once
when their outside center in­tercepted
an errant Stag pass
and raced in for the try.
Fairfield's "A" team won
again on Sunday as they drub­bed
Fordham, 17-3~ with a ·
strong second-half performance.
Bob Money started the Big Red
moving as he bulled his way
over for the first try. Tom Crow­ley
scored next with a beautiful
run through the Fordham back­field.
Then Q. Murphy scored
on a bard-headed run from a
loose serum to make it 9-3; the
only Fordham try was scored
in the fray's opening moments.
Steve Carre then executed an­other
excellent run for three
points, and Tom Krenn scored
the last try and made the extra
point, t.o ice the 17-3 win.
In the "B" game against
Fordham, the Red serum work­ed
hard to duplicate the "A"
team's form, as they pushed the
Maroon ruggers around the
field at will. After Fordham
jumped to a ~ lead, Bill Gar­rity
scored two trys for Fail"
field. Next, Bear Sweeny went
all the way for the Red's third
try, and he kicked the extra
point, raising the lead to \1-3.
Tom King then assaulted the
Ram goal for a try, and Chuck
Dombeck's try clinched the 17-3
win.
Fairfield's "C'' team also
played last weekend, bowing,
6-0, to a rugged New York
Rugby Club "B" team. Never­theless,
