Avco Hecklers
On Local VIsit
By BILL BERTIER
Edltorlal Manager
Vice-President Hubert Humphrey ran into heavy
opposition in the form of pro-Wallace heck~ers last
Friday afternoon at the Stratford A vco-Lycommg com­plex.
Humphrey launched a blistering attack of his
own, however, on his Republican and third party coun­terparts.
Criticizing Richard Nixon's
refusal to debate, Humphrey tion that's going to take your
charged that Nixon is so con­fident
ot the results of the elec­tion
that he feels no need to
defend his platform before a
television audience. ''The Amer­Ican
people should not be taken
for granted," Humphrey said as
he renewed his invitation to his
two opponents to "come forth
and join us in nationwide de­bate.''
Major Blast
Humphrey's major blast came
in reference to the candidacy
of Alabama's George Wallace
which he labeled "as phoney as
a three dollar Confederate bill."
Citing Alabama's highest mur­der
rate, second lowest wages
and lowest workman's compen·
sation rate of any state in the
Union, Mr. Humphrey further
labeled Wallace's candidacy as
a "counterfeit."
Tb.la country, said Humphrey,
"CADDot survive in racial big·
otry." Be went on to call tor
an end to faction&llsm ancl a
new "pride in our American
cltlzensblp regardle88 of race,
color or creed."
Responding to an anti-black
epithet shouted by a pro-Wal·
lace heckler, a stern Mr. Hum­phrey
replied "It isn't a black
man that will take your job.
It's a Republican administra-job.''
Accelerated Tour
The stop at Avco was just
one of several in a highly ac­celerated
tour of Connecticut
that Humphrey undertook last
Friday. Appearing in Hartford
earlier in the day he termed
the present Paris talks "the
most delicate" negotiations since
they began last spring. The
campaign blitz was beginning
to take its toll on the Vice­President,
however, and, his
voice hoarse and strained, he
made the Avco stop a short
one.
Also speaking were Mayor
Hugh CUrran of Bridgeport,
Governor John Dempsey,
Mayor Richard C. Lee of New
Haven, former Olympic cham·
pion Rafer Johnson and screen
star Inger Stevens. Miss Ste­vens
advised the hecklers to
"speak to your wives" who, as
she put it, might see more clear·
ly the problems that face this
country and "have something
to say'' about who might best
lead it during the next tour
years.
Tbe crowd was estimated at
9,000 by Avco offlclal8. Al8o
present were Senator Abraham
Rlblcoft and Representative
Robert GlaJ.mo, botb Demo·
cratlc Incumbents seeking re­election.

At Annual Progress Dinner
David W. P. Jewitt was awarded the Medal of Merit for his outstanding con­tributions
to the University at Fairfield's second annual Progress Dinner held Mon­day
evening in the University's Campus Center. Awards of a different nature were
bestowed upon members of the administration by the Students for a Democratic
Society at a mock Progress Dinner.
Speakers at the dinner, which --- ----------------------
was atte.nded by 400 business,
civic and educational leaders
and friends of the University,
included William C. Hart, pre­senting
highlights of the plan­ned
address of the late Gerald
L. Phillippe, State Senator
Frederick Pope, Jr., and Uni­versity
President William C.
Mcinnes, S.J.
As invited guests entered the
Campus Center they were greet­ed
by leaflet bearing members
of SDS. The literature asked
the guests to "think of those
who cannot eat as you are eat­ing
and try to think why." It
also included several items of
information concerning General
Electric Corporation.
Quoting Independent CancU­d&
te for Congress, Robert Cook,
It cited General Electric's past
convictions of v.lolatlng anti­trust
laws. It also elaborated on
t he tnvolV'enleot of Olark Ollf-ford,
presently Secretary of D&­fense,
ln winning permission to
deduct court fiDes as bUBineu
expenses.
Award to .Jewltt
In presenting the medal to
Mr. Jewitt, Fr. Mcinnes, ex­pressed
personal satisfactio:t in
honoring a man "who has given
so freely and generously of his
time and talent to Fairfield Uni­versity.''
In a brief address Fr. Mc­Innes
challenged the dinner
guests not to judge universities
by what they see but by ·.vhat
they know.
In citing the "need to .!mow
the campus as It 18," the Unl·
verslty President described the
campus as "a viable pbenomen·
on suffering from a serious my·
opla, which 18 the object of
news be&dllnes, parental con·
cern and student anxiety."
A Bold New Partnerablp
He went on to say that Amer­ican
universities require under­standing
rather than certitude,
tolerance rather than exploita­tion.
They need more heroes
and symbols of leadership which
in many instances can best be
derived from a real involve­ment
with the university. The

his family for his art There is
also a son, a son-in-law, and
Karin, a schizoP.hrenic daughter
upon whom the movie focuses.
The alienated father has been

Psych Department Expands
To Benefit All Students
By NELSON BONDBUS
In years past the Psychology Department of Fairfield has remained in ob­scurity
to most of the student body. Aside from the relatively few Psychology
majors the faculty and activities of the Department were not well known among
students. However, in just the past four years the Department has undergone con­siderable
expansion from which all students have had the opportunity to benefit .
Largely responsible for this
expansion has been the dynamic
chairman, Father Thomas Mc­Grath,
S.J. Aside from man­aging
and enlarging the De­partment,
Fr. McGrath is in­volved
with graduate school
letters of recommendation for
the seniors, various committees
within the University, and many
public appearances outside of
Fairfield. Every freshman has
met him in the retreat held
each year during Orientation
Week.
This year Father started a
new "team-teaching" system
within the Department. The
purpose of this experiment is to
familiarize students in General
Psychology with all aspects of
the Psychology profession by
having faculty members from
various areas present lectures
in their major field of interest.
Finally, just this year a new
BS degree program bas been
opened to freshmen in order to
give the student a more scien­tific
background for graduate
schooL
BraiD Manory Tl'aclM
Dr. W. Ronald Salafia recent­ly
returned from the Univer3ity
of Michigan where he was en­gaged
in research concer-ned
with memory traces in the
brain. Having received a grant
from the National Science
Foundation, Dr. Salafia return­ed
to Fairfield in September to
start a laboratory and continue
his work. In addition to re­search
work, publishing, and
teaching Dr. Salafia has spoken
for the Free University and the
Parents' Weekend. Last year
he presented a paper to the
Easte.rn Psychological Aaocia­tion
(EPA) in Philadelphia
which he later presented to 'Stu­dents.
Dr. John Boitano, in his sec­ond
year at Fairfield, has initi­ated
considerable progress with­in
the Department including a
new laboratory and a Physio­logical
Psychology Discussion
Group. This informal gath.ering
of students was fortunate to
have speakers from the Univer­sity
of Tennessee and the Ken­nedy
Child Center in New York
City. In addition each of the
faculty membei'S who gave
papers at EPA were asked to
speak to the group also. Stu­dents
themselves were given
the opportunity to conduct their
own research and present re­.
ports to an interested audience
of fellow students and faculty.
Reeearch Orleatecl
This group will conti.·me
again thls year during second
semeste.r. Primarily research
oriented. Dr. Boitano presented
a paper at EPA last year and
is presently concerned with the
influence ot certain drugs on
behavior. Outside of the class­room
and lab Dr. Boitano
formed a Track Club which has
been open to all students in­terested
and desiring limited
competition in the sport.
ota more clinical orientation
Dr. John McCarthy has con­ducted
considerable research in
nearby hospitals and mental in­stitutions.
Dr. McCarthy, as all
other members of the Depart•
ment, has employed student as-
Gen. Hershey Advised
By STEVEN MIKOCIIIK
Ray Kalanikas - a former
Peace Corps worker, a former
Jobs Corps adviser, and a mar­ine
reservist with s1x months
active duty - had the unique
opportunity of advising Leut.
Gen. Louis Hershey on the
draft.
Kalainikas and Hershey met
by chance at a North Bruns­wick,
New Jersey motel where
Kalainikas worked as desk
cle.rk.
Mr. Kalainikas proposed a .re-vision
to the Selective Service
System. Each draftee, according
to his changes, would have a
choice of 18 months in the mili­tary,
2 years in Peace Corps­type
work, or 2~ years in the
Antipoverty program or other
government programs.
Gen. Hershey promised to
send Mr. Kallni~ information
to complete his proposal, but
the Selective Service Director
did not feel this was the perfect
solution to draft inequities.
Grad School Increase
"Graduate school applications
for admission have increased
about 10% over 1967, which is
about normal" according to Dr.
Gustave Arlt., president of the
United States Council of Gradu­ate
Schools. Professional educa­tors
are forced to admit that
the draft had leu an immediate
affect on enrollment than wa,
previously thOUiht.
However, most educators pre­dict
that "the biggest impact
will come at the end of the
first semester." With non-medl-cal
and non-ministry deferments
abolished, it is believed that
students are gambling that they
will be permitted to complete
the first semester of graduate
school. This hope is baaed on
low draft calls and favorable,
b u t non-official, indications
from the Selective Service
Board. Individual deferments,
however, still rest upc)n the
state and local boards, many of
which have been limited in
granting occupational defer­ments
in areas such as teach-log.
sistants in research work which
has usually resulted in a co­authorship
title for the student.
Dr. McCarthy teaches on the
undergraduate and adult educa­tion
levels in addition to run­ning
a private practice. The
newly formed Hockey Club has
been largely the result of Dr.
McCarthy's work as moderator
and coach. Having represented
the team at league meetings,
organized a schedule, and
coached the players, the team
seems to be in good shape for
the coming year.
InterdlselpUD&ry InaUtate
Dr. Ralph Welsh has been
active within and outside of
Fairfield. Besides teaching and
conducting research Dr. Welab
has been interested in the for­mation
of an interdisciplinary
institute for the study of riots
and dissent. As moderator of
the 1 ·,~ chology Club, Dr. Welsh
has worked closely with the
officers in organizing a very in­teresting
calendar ot events. In
addition to his activities at Fair­field
he is affiliated with the
anti-poverty program in Bridge­port.
Also Dr. Welsh has writ­ten
a book concerned with the
application of learnlni theory
principles to the child reari.na
problem for adults. As did :nost
of the other members of t!le
Department, Dr. Welsh · pre­sented
a paper at EPA last
year which was later presented
to stude.nts.
Dr. Dorothy Braginsky, Dr.
Alexander Tolor, and Dr. J e­rome
Schiller are members of
the faculty whom most under•
graduates do not know. Dr.
Braglnsky came to Fairfield
this year and has started teach­ing
Social Psychology. Dr. To­lor
is Director of the Institute
on Human Development which
is a division of the Psychology
Department The Institute Is
primarily concerned with local
community problems as well as
research. Dr. Tolor also teaches
three courses on the graduate
level at Fairfield Dr. Schiller
has been primarily interested
in brain damaged children. This
year he is setting up a prog::1lm
for perceptually handlc.apped
children here on campus.
PaychoJocy Clab
In addition to the strictly aca­demic
setting, the Psychology
Department has also aided in
the formation of a Psychology
Club which is open to all stu­dents
whether they are majons
in the fteld or not. As was men­tioned
earlier Dr. Welsh with
the President, Tad Powers '69,
and the other o1flcers have or­ganized
activities for the year.
A full description of the doings
of the Psychology Club can be
found oo the bulletin board on
the second floor of Canisius.
Students are urged to read the
notices for upcoming events and
attend a meeting to become a
member. The meetings are neld
monthly and prior to the meet­ing
there wU1 be an article in
The Star describing the events
for this meetfne.

Student Court Jurisdiction
More Limited and Defined
By DUANE McDONAq)
The jurisdiction and actions of the Student Court will be Jimited and more strictly deaned tbla
year under revisions now being discussed Thes ';) modifications are strongly urged' by Chief JuaJce
Patrick McCormack '69 who said, whlle discussing his reasons for supporting the ehqes, that
the Court, as 1t has been set up in the past has "n:>t provided a clear due process, it. was t9Q atudent
oriented and in its actions was faced with the problem of "trying to please everybody." l.b'. McCol'­mack
and many others feel that "the old way n~ver really worked."
Subject to Clwlp
In the past, the Student Court
took, as part of its work, cases
submitted to it by the Adminis­tration
and thereby its judg­ments
were often open to
change by the Administration
or from the Student Body. As a
result, the court was often
stymied in its decisions. The
Chief Justice believes that this
was due to the lack of a clearly
deftned sphere of action for the
Court, by hazy lines of due pro­cess,
and especially by a lack
of representativeness and cred­ibility.
The Court in the past
tried to handle too much with­out
a clear knowledge of what
~tly it was to handle. This
is the essence of Mr. McConn­ack's
objections to the fonner
set-up.
Under the new organization,
the Student Court will deal ex­clusively
with matters within
the Student community and on
such matters aS traffic tiokets.
It will not concern itself with
disciplinary actions involving
the Admlnlatration, as it has
formerly.
faets set down OD a staned
complaint fonn with a signed
rationale as to why the com­plainee
recommends a specific
penalty.
The student summoned must
then be given sufticient time to ·
thoroughly prepare his ease,
and he may secure an advisor,
either a fellow student Ql' a
faculty member. The student
will also have the right to ap­peal
his case to the Dean of
Student Services.
Any serious questions that
arise during the Board's Dis­cussion
will be answered by
asking the complainee to appear
before the Board. When all the
facts have been investigated, a
private vote will be taken and
action taken according to the
consensus. The Board recom­mendation
will then be sent to
the Dean of Student Services
to be acted upon.
'Biafran
Ol'flerly Poe ~
The bacl(ers of the new Board
feel that this aiTangement will
provide a clear, orderly due
process and that the student
will be judged by the entire Uni­versity
community, not by the
Administration or the Student
Court acting alone, as was
fonnerly done.
Among the quesijons still
under consideration in the above
proposal are: 1) Which cases
should go before the Board?,
2) Who, if anyone, should have
llie power to override Board
1ecisions? and 3) Which part
of the Board's proceedings
should be publlc?
These tWo tentative changes,
in the Student Court, and in the
fonnation of a Disciplinary Re­view
Board, have as their aim
the clarification and strengthen­ing
of the various judicial pro­cesses
on the campus.

Problem Arises On

By BOB BUBOSIIe
"I asked the fathers poin~ all weQend wbell;aer or QOt
they wan~ed girls in their sons' rooma and tbey aN~ 'Ncf."
This ia the way Fr. John Mcintyre, S.J •• qp~ • be does
not allow girls on second floor Loyola during the ~ -scbed­uled
parietal hours.
Wbetl asked it there had been
a vote on the floor concernfna
parietals, Fr. Mc!Jltyre anawer­ed,
"Yes there's been a vote,
but I can't tell you the results.''
When asked :to elaborate on the
subject he continued, "Wbat'a
involved is the students' right
to their conftdenee." He placed
atrong emp~ia on the point
that the teachers and adminis­tration
were given the duty of
continuing the education of the
student which was begun by the
parents.
Fr. Mcintyre also related his
feelings on why he requires
jacket and tie in his clasaes . .
He gave a number of reasons,
including, (1) "Simply because
I made up my mind on it." (2)
because, "I do not believe we
are human beings simply by
birth. We have to aehleve our
humanity; we have to work for
it. This means essentially we
must impose a human fonn on

Beepeo&tw Stu4eat.
Since the Court is now, in
actuality, purely a student
court, any student who feels
that he has been embarrassed,
treated unfairly, or bas had his
rights violated in any way by
another student, may bring his
case before the Court. The
Court will also act on the Stu­dent
Constitution and on vio­lations
of bills passed by the
Leeislature.
West On Non-Involvement
Fr. ltlclntyre's .fourth reason
"CQDCerns ~ own . reaped for
them (the •tudentl) aa human

constantly reminded of tbe1r a­sential

lnlm!cal to what I aD\ cSotq.
muaiona are neceuary. I like
to h've · tbe llluaion that my
student~ are human. 'lbla, I ad­mit,
is personal."
Fr. Mcintyre's final point
was, "We are teaching them
not only the power of Intellect
and knowledge but allo the
power ol social life and man­ners.
Certainly the parents ex­pect
this of us. I ftnd It very
paradoxical that they (the stu­dents)
dress up in shirt and tie
to go to one of the local horror
sho\\!11 they call mixers, which
they accept as a social aitua·
tion and somehow or other they
feel as though they. can exempt
themselves from the social sit•
uation of the classroom and the
university life. In other worda,
since they are prepartne them·
selvea for a public lltuation
after college, I feel lt helpful
that they &bould be reminded

Pualve Body
While explalnlng this exclus­ive
function of the Court, Mr.
McCormack emphasized that
now "the Court is a passive
body. It can only operate if the
students and the Attorney Gen­eral
bring cases before it."
Bevlew Board
The second innovation this
year is a proposal for a Disci­plinary
Review Board which
baa now been sent to the pre­fects
and the Court for discus­sion.
It is this body, if ap­proved,
which will handle mat­ters
involving the Admlnistra­,
tion, including cases of expul­sion
and suspension. The aim is
that this group, which will be
composed of members from
every area of the Fairfteld
community, will be more cred­ible
and representative in ita de­cisions.
The proposed Board will be
made up of two representatives
from the Jesuit Advisory
Board. elected from the total
sroup of Jesuit prefects, two
faculty members from the Stu­dent
IJfe Conunlttee, elected
from the general faculty, and
two undergraduate members of
the Student Court. The Aulat­ant
Dean of Student Services,
Mr. Ronald Bianchl, will sit on
tbe Board "ex-offlclo", with
powers tn vote only in case of
a tie.

"I know a word, a terrible word, a terrible, monstruous, house-haunting, bomb­bursting
word. Tis Africa." So .cried Laz Ekwueme, a Biafran graduate student
at Yale University, to an audience of 100 people at the ~iafran rally last Thurs­day
night. "Tis Africa ... a land filled with the dying remains of sta-rving chil­dren."
Both Mr. Ekwueme and
tion suppller, could pressure
that government into a cease­fire
with Biafra.
Brltala Bebukecl
Laz Ekwueme rebuked the
Father Patrick Smith, a Holy
Cross missionary who had spent
19 years in Biafra, denounced,
what they called, "genocide of
that nation by the Nigerian na­tional
army." Fr. Smith quoted
an editorial from America as West for its policy of non-in-saying,
". . . apart from the volvement in the internal af.
mercy operations of private, fairs · of Nigeria. He asserted
charitable organizations, nothing that the West was usurping the
is being done to prevent this fact of a Biafra-Nigerian ~ivil
genocide." According· to these
speakers, 8,000 people die a day
in Biafra from starvation. There
is a serious shortage of protein
and Blafran hospitals admit
only those children with at least
a 50% chance of Uving.
Beecue Mluloa
A tape, recently recorded in
Blafra, was also played. On it, an announcer narrated a chil­dren's
rescue mission while
children screamed in the back·
ground from malnutrlclon. 'Ibe
announcer explained that two
or three of the children would
die en route to ald.
As for a solution of the poll­tical
crisis, Mr. Ekwueme de­clared,
"We know that we have
no choice except our own .Jeif·
determination and we are pre­pared
to 41ght to the last man
for it. There are two alterna­tives:
either Nigeria stops at­tacking
Biafra and goes home
• . • or they wipe out every
living Blafran and occupy our
land." Father Smith stated that
Britain, Nigeria's qeat mtml-war
as ". . . an excuse for
shying away from its human
responsibilities." He proclalnted
that, "Britain supplies the guns
by which people are murdered
in broad daylight for no jtUtift­able
reason, except by accident
of their place of birth, and the
bombs which are dropped on
marketplaces, on churches, on
schools, on hospitals - is this
not meddling? But, will they
give food? Is there any justice!"
The rally was organized by
the Fairfield University branch
<>f the Food for Biafra Com­mittee.
In its ten weeks or ex­istence,
this committee has,
through private contributions,
established a "Haven of Re­fuge"
on the Ivory Coast for
Biafran mothers and children
and through petitions, it hopes
to pressure the United States
government into aiding Bialra.
''Oul' activities include." Mr.
Richard D. CUnningham, cbalr­man
of the Fairfteld University

I The Other Side I
By LAURENCE A. PR'DD'IIOIIME
"There are too many of us who refuse to think, to be con­cerned
about our fellow man. The appearance of a "Fairfleld
University For George" eommlttee in Bridgeport last week is a
disgrace to this academic community. We cannot undenrtand how
those who call themselves, Christians can stand in defense of a
man whose very candidacy is a contradiction of fundamental
Christian principles.
" 'IDstitutional racism,' then, is of an unconscious, 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 Wallace tradition."
The above are excerpts from last week's Stag editorial,
'Tokenism, Racism, And Real Equality." They are not only rep­resentative
of the radical "liberalism" that has marred the pages
of our student newspaper this year; they are examples of the
bigotry and hatred of a narrow-minded left which relies on emo­tionalism
and distortion of facts for its tactics.
During my sophomore and junior years here at Fainield., I
was a news reporter, Associate Editorial Manager, and Associate
Editor of The Stag. During that time our paper could at least
pride itself on factual, unbiased news content and editorial taste.
I left The Stag to con~entrate on my studies and to plan my
future after graduation. Now, out of a sense of concern for The
Stac, which has seen better days, and for Fairfield, which is
seeing some of its worst, I find myself writing my first column.
I do not support George Wallace, hi& cancllda.cy or b1s
polltiCII. But to blast anyone who would support him as a disgrace
to the academic community is a contemptible disregard for the
rights of others. A university is a place for the discussion of all
points of view. To label the Wallace c.andidacy as a contradiction
of fundamental Christian principles is a bigoted slur at the demo­cratic
process. George Wallace has every right to pursue the
office of President. Before the Editorial Board writes him off as
unworthy to participate In the American political scene, they
ought to do some house cleaning of their own narrow-minded
view.
Fainield University has a "Human Problem," partially stem­ming
from an almost uniform student body of white, middle-class,
suburban, Catholics. Fairfield also has a "Negro Problem," in that
there are very few black students on this campus. The Adminis­tration
has been making a concerted effort to correct this ~
balance through special recruiting, financial aid, and projects de­signed
to attract more black students to Fairfield. It has also been
concerned with bringing more Protestant and Jewish students
here In an etrort to diversify the community. The Youth Interracial
Council has addressed itself to the "Negro Problem" and its pro­posals
may or may not be feasible •
. However, to charge that a refusal to recognize the Y.I.C.
proposals as an excellent opportunity to remedy the situation con­stituted
"Intentional, conscious racism" is totally irresponsible. It
precludes any rational consideration of this proposal and alterna­tive
ones In reference to the problems of Administration and the
community.
The lead news story of last week's issue sald that, "Placard­carrying
members of the Fairfleld community brought several
facts concerning the racial problem here at Falrfteld to public
attention." Whether or not the protesters' charges were facts
should certainly be viewed In light of Fr. Mcinnes' speech on
Sunday morning. His speech, by the way, was given only cursory
mention In the last paragraph of the Father-son Weekend news
story.
Editorializing In neWs items, whether by slanted wording or
by positioning of stories is despicable journalism. But what has
happened to Tbe Stag is only part of a larger infiltration by the
radical student left. This minority hu made their presence felt
through S.D.S., Y.I.C., and In the Student Go'l{.emment Most
recently their fnfl.uence was seen at Father-Son Weekend.
All of this bothers me. These student radicals are an activist
minority who are the first to scream "apathy" at the student body.
Of course, it has been this "apathetic,'' moderate, student ma­jority
which has carried Fairfleld University. To name a few, the
Football Club, the fraternities, the Cardinal Key Society, the Glee
Club, WVOF, the Manor, the Knights of Columbus, the Cbeel'o
leaders, Social Action groups, student athletes, and similar praise­worthy
activities. It seems as though these students, tbe poettlft
acttvt.tll, are going to have to do a little more to counteract tbe ,
negativism that is threatening to make Fairfield a cheap imitation
of Berkeley and Columbia. It seems as though the other alde
should be heard.
THI STAS October 23, 1968
Courage, Conviction, ·And Concern
With political promises and counter-promises flying and the
candidates' political machines moving full speed ahead, confusion
seems to be the order of the day in Election Year 1968. There are
some things, however, that are certain.
It is certain that no candidate has made an acceptable proposal
on our Vietnam problem. To an extent we can appreciate the awk­ward
situation that the Vice-President has been and still is in. He has,
no doubt, felt compelled to publicly justify the President's policy.
We cannot, however, understand Mr. Nixon's silence. It should be
remembered that Mr. Nixon has not always been silent on the war
issue. It is no secret that until nomination he had consistently ad­vocated
stepped-up military activity to further suppress the Na­tional
Liberation Front, an unrecognized but valid political force in
the South.
It is certain that Mr. Humphrey has always understood and
worked to solve the problems of the poor, the aged and the black.
His drive for human rights had its beginnings in an era when such
efforts were anything but fashionable, yet Mr. Humphrey pushed and
pushed hard for what he believed in. Mr. Nixon, on the other hand,
sees this country's racial problem simply in terms of a breach of "law
and order." He suggests "black capitalism" as a solution to racial
inequality. Unfortunately, black capitalists are not at a premium
these days.
It is certain that labor has been duped. As Mr. Humphrey pointei
out to Avco workers this past week in Bridgeport, "It isn't a black
man that will take your job. It's a Republican administration that
will take your job." We agree. We feel sure that a Nixon would
mean severe federal cutbacks in Johnson's Skirmish With Poverty
as well as other non-military federal projects. And this brings us to
perhaps our strongest objection to Richard Nixon's platform - his
stand on disarmament.
Mr. Nixon has publicly voiced his opposition to ratification of the
Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty that would prohibit the nuclear
powers from arming their allies with such weapons. He has been
opposed to any type of deceleration of the arms race, proposing in­stead
that the United States embark on a new program of full scale
armament so that this country will hold the upper hand in any future
negotiations to curb such activity. This position is nothing short of
insane. In fact, we find Mr. Nixon's entire platform to be a relic of
the old Eisenhower years - an anachronism.
On the other hand, the Vice-President has always been a staunch
advocate of any movement that could possibly lead to disarmament.
His active support of the Nonproliferation Treaty is in sharp contrast
to Mr. Nixon's stand. He has always preferred talks to threats and
we feel that a President Humphrey would strive to improve relations
with the Soviet Union rather than seek to engage them in an arms
race.
We feel that these reasons alone are more than sufficient to
recommend Hubert Humphrey as the man most likely to unify this
tense. tired country of ours and resolve the problems that so plague
us. There is, however, one more reason for not voting for Mr. Nixon,
and that is his choice of a running mate.
Our next president must be a mart who can make good decisions
during periods of stress. Mr. Nixon's first decision after nomination
has proven to be a poor one. This country cannot afford to have the
likes of Spiro Agnew one heartbeat away from the Presidency. In
contrast to his Democratic counterpart, Edmund Muskie, he is lacking
in diplomacy, tact and imagination.
In short, we feel that what America needs is a man concerned
about his fellow man; a humanitarian who would put principle be­fore
the dolla'r. What America needs is what Hubert Humphrey has
the most of - courage, conviction and concern.
Biafra's Plea: Freedom From Hunger
The federation of Nigeria was from its inception a shining ex­ample..
of what African unity might become and also shaky evidence
of what might destroy such a dream-tribalism. Early in 1967, the
Ibo tribe, most advanced in the federation, seceded in a desperate
attempt to somehow preserve itself from the increasingly sinister
designs of the Hausa, largest and dominant tribe. For a time, the
new republic of Biafra more than held its own. Then, the Soviet
Union and Egypt began aiding the Hausa government, and the
British followed suit to defend their oil interests. The superior fire­power
turned the tide : Biafra today is a shell of its former area, cut
off from the sea, without a free major city, and under continual bom­bardment.
But most frightening is the slow starvation taking its toll,
at least 5 million by Christmas, mostly children, and the open attempt

wiping their culture off the face of the earth.
Certain Fairfield students - Richard Cunningham, whp has
testified before the McCarthy Subcommittee in Washington, William
Reilly, and George Rule - have gone out of their way to establish
the machinery by which Fairfield students might commit themselves
towards a decent end to the slaughter. There have been volunteers
to petition government representatives, national on down, for a clear
United States . diplomatic stand in favor of a cessation of hostilities
on terms assuring the Ibos' survival. Money was collected, this week,
and we commend the outstanding and statesman-like gesture of Fr.
WiJJiam Mcinnes in promising to match the total. Soon a voluntary
fast is going to be asked of the students. We ask them to by all
means participate in it, as we give our highest endorsement to the
activities of the Biafra committee past, present, and future.
Activities Fee Payment Gun Control Legislation
To the Editor: To the Editor:
As President of the Class of '71, I
would urge the members of my class
to complete payment of their activities
fees for this year. In accordance with
the referendum passed last year raising
the fee to $15.00, the Student Govern­ment
is attempting to expand its co­operative
efforts to increase the quantity
and quality of Campus Events.
I would urge this payment most
strongly, ih as much as it is the Rtu­dents
who will benefit from this activi·
ties fee. We the Class ot '71 will benefit
further from full Class participation in
this matter in as much as after much
work and debate, we have engineered
a bill in the legislature which would for
the first time allow a grant to a specfflc
class. Present stipulations upon th1s
grant to our class are that the claaa
participate fully, as required, in pay­ment
of activities dues.
Members who have not yet paid will
be contacted by the StucSent ~

I opposed such action because a

one senseless murder could be prevented

Editorial Criticism
To the Editor:
As chairman of the Constitutional
Commission which drafted the proposed
Constitution for the Government, I was
dlstressed by the vitriolic. unwarranted,
and uninformed attack in a recent
Stac upon the Dean of Student Services,
Mr. Robert K. Gritrin, and upon those
students who desire the best possible
Constitution.
The "suggestions" which you publish•
ed last week were just that, suggestions,
not by the Administration, but rather
by Mr. Grl1fln, at my personal request.
They are only his personal opinions for•
mulated after a study of the students'
Bill of Rights from the proposed Con·
stitutlon. It seems to me that those that
crltidze so fiercely are only qulbbllng
over semantics, as careful study of both
suggestions will prove. It should also be
noted that no one from the subcommit­tee
which drafted the proposed Bill of
Rights ever went to see Mr. Griffin,
even after I requested them to do so.
It would seem that they are criticizing
from Ignorance, which is not the way
of a true student.
It was even more surprising to learn
that the ~torial on the Bill of Rights
was written without discussion with Mr.
Grl1fin, with myself, or even after a
careful comparison of the two docu·
ments. It was even more amazing that
your writers did not stop to criticize
two sections of Mr. Griffin's sugges tions.
Could it be that you overlooked them in
your "careful" perusal, or that you agree
with them?
I do hope that in the future your
Editorial Board and the Editorial Editor
do some thoughtful writing on the topics

Some Good, Some Bad
To the Editor:
You guys are always critlclzlng Fair­field
University - you never mention
\he good things at Falrfteld University.
There is good Mr. Petry and the good
Sophomore Honors Program. There are
some good teachers ln the Philosophy
Department and same good teacher3 in
the Sociology Department, from what
I can see, some good teachers ln every
department. And there are good new
buildlngs with good designs. And there
are good movies in Gonzaga, and ~ood
plays at the playhouse, and good sports
on the sports' fteld, and good mixers
(I guess), and good social "weekends, ..
and good student organizations, and a
good Student Government (mostly), :md
there are other good things which I
can't seem to think of at the moment,
because I'm beginning to think of an
the academic requirements (or "pounds­of-
flesh," as the good Assistant Dean
refers to them), which are laid down
by the Administration - and not the
department you're majoring ln and that's
a bad thing. And there are all the rules
and regulations laid down by the Ad­min.
lstratlon - which go above and ~
yond state and federal laws - about
how the students should live, and that's
a bad thing. ~
So there are some good things and
some bad things . • . and . . . oh yes,
one more thing: I hope that soon the
students realize that the only ones who
can represent their Interests are them­selves,
and the faculty recognizes that
the only ones who can represent their
Interests are themselves, and the ad­mlnlstratlon
keeps Its religious, moral,
paranoic, parent-like bands off the in­terests
of the students and the faculty
and worries about Ita own IntereSts -
at this stage It probably won't, because
most of the students don't an(l most of
the faculty doesn't, and It stlll believes
Ita actually right (I guese).

longer concerned with the suf­ferings

justice, and that is his
own pain. The glass cubicle, his
prisoner's dock, is his hope for

his freedom. If he can only
have himself convicted, not to

Cheap Thrills - BJ.c Brother and the Bolding Co. - Columbia KCS - 970
Ars Nova and Big Brother represent an obvious and elemental contrast in
terms: refinement, restraint, art, intellec ~uality, and a certain femininity on the
one hand, sex, power, depth, crudity, and vitality on the other. Ars Nova is to be
heard, Big Brother is to be felt; Ars Nova is structure, Big Borther is Function,
with a big F.
By and large, Big Brother is
very much better at their art
than Ars Nova at theirs. An
Nova is a passable album, (Sex
Dope and) Cheap TbrUia is a
great one.
An Nova is primarily an at­tempt
to combine in varying
proportions a classical instnJ..
mentality, principally Baroque,
with a rock consciousness and
(unfortunately) rock lyrics. 'The
musicianship is superb, and the
best cut on the album is a
d y n a m 1 c rearrangement of
Strauss• Zarathustra. The basic
problem lies in the lyrics (which
Elektra kindly but unwisely
chose to include on the inside
cover, allowing everyone to see
just how bad they are), and in
lackluster vocal performances.
Faahionable Obscurity
The lyrics tend to the sort
of fashionable obscurity which
too often disguises a lack of
anything to 6aY, and are not
particularly well coordinated
with the music. The overall ef­fect
is one of crowdedness !dld
superficial "artiness." The one
song oo which this effect works
is "Al,ltomatic Love," an amus-ing
satire on computerized love
to which the musical rigidity i5
an apt companion.
Cheap Tbrllls is simply a tre­mendous
album. (It is interest­ing
to note that the anti-estab­lishment
rock critics nave
thumped it roundly - presum­ably
because "Lite" saw fit to
praise it . . . >.. While the in­strumentalists
do not even come
close to the technical virtuos­ity
of Clapton, Bloomfield, et
al, they perform their job per­fectly,
that is, to give J anis
Joplin enough of a structure to
sing in that she can let loose
her voice without destroying it.
Any further refinement on the
part of the backup men would •
only serve to sap the cr.ude
strength of their sound (That
is not to say that they are in­capable
of any sophistication
whatsoever; their background
to "Summertime" is a master­piece
of understatement) (and
is stolen from Bach). Janis Jop­lin
is the most powerful anct
moving white blues singer whom
I personally have ever heard,
and this album is her triumph.

Merry~Go-Round
By ROBERT MURPHY
In order to understand the heated controversy over the Con.
stitution of the Student Government one must first understand Ulllt
Government itself. In its present form and under its presem
sphere of authority the Government is merely a council formecl
to expedite the handling of student affairs. For all practical pur­poses
it is powerless to collect money to support its programs
and legislate laws to protect and defend the student body. In
reality, then, the Government has failed not because of .its pro­grams,
but because of the lack of authority to carry them out.
The controversy comes about when some refuse to acknowl·
edge the Government's ineffectiveness and others try to overstate
the effect It should have. It is our purpose to try and clear up
the question and present a valid, workable solution.
It is true that the Administration received its authority to
operate a University from the state, but it is also true that there
would be no University to operate if there were no students. It is
also a fact, too often forgotten, that the student is a human being,
that he enjoys and demands the rights and privileges accorded to
a human being. There seems to be an incongruity in the fact that
some students take an active interest in world affairs and truly
work to correct the terrible world situation, but are refused the
chance to work with authority on correcting their own affairs.
On the other hand, it is not within the rights of the student
body to destroy the administration or take from them any powers
rightfully theirs. We must bring the two extremes together and
form a more just federation between the administration and the
student body.
To achieve harmony in the day to day operation of the Uni­versity
without denying anyone's rights, but giving everyone their
proper rights we must work in a mature and responsible manner.
Treating the student body as children or calling the administration
paternalistic slave-drivers will accomplish nothing. ·First the stu­dents
should· be granted a Student Government with the total
authority over student affairs that do not directly conflict with the
faculty or administration affairs. This government should be recog­nized
as the equal of the Academic Council and Administrative
Board and should be treated with respect by all organs of the
Administration and faculty. This government should be autonom­ous
in all student affairs in the same manner as the Academic
Council and Administrative Board are in their respective areas,
Decisions and comments made by the government should be ac­cepted
and honored by all segments of the University. When a
conflict arises between the Student Government and one or both
of the other segments of the University, a Tri-Partite body should
have equal voting for all three segments of the University.
In order to make this plan work aU three sections of the t.Jni­versity
will have to sit down and draw up a contract. This con­tract
would be the written agreement guaranteeing all segments
of the University their rights and it would specify the way In
which each group would ~xercise these rights. If this were done
we think Fail'lfield would stand out as the first school to solve the
student-administration conflict in a mature and responsible fashion.
In conclusion, we see that under the present system the stu­dent
body is granted no rights and in fact is suppressed in their
attempts to be heard. Under our proposed system the administra­tion
would continue to function and exercise all of its rights, bUt
the student body would also exercise their rights through a Stuuent
Government with authority. We implore all three groups in the
University to correct a wrong situation before it develops into
unfortunate circumstances.

Culture at Last
To the Editor:
I would sincerely like to thank those
students who heartily supported the cul­tural
trip sponsored by the Cardinal Key
Society, last Wednesday evening, Oc­tober
16. To be more explicit, this en·
deavor was a visit to Vivian Beaumont
Theatre in Lincoln Center to see the
production of Klng Lear. The gamble
was well worth it as tickets were sold
out almost immediately and the response
to the play was usually nothing more
than excellent. It pleases me to see that
culture has finally "arrived" at Fairfield
(Eureka!). Because such exuberance
was manifested by the students, other
trips of this nature are in the making.
Such possibilities include Joseph Heller's
(Catch 22) "We Bombed in New Haven,"
"A Cry of Players," and trips to sym·
phony orchestra concerts. Hence, as long
as this enthusiasm exists in the students,
the probability of more such cultural
t!'ips becomes a reality.

he concluded, "I see myself as

words, I stand for the Other

Robert Leitch, '69, Senior
prefect on the second ftoor, also
attempted to explain the situa­tion
on his floor In this •vay,
"Fr. Mcintyre doesn't want
them (girls) on the floor yet
for some reason or another,"
And in apparent agreement
with Fr. Mcintyre's position on
parletals he continued, "As far
as I can see, he has more -.>f a
responsibility to the parents
than to the students."
An informal Stag poll was
conducted Sunday on the ques­tion,
"It a corridor poll were
to be taken now on the question
of parletals, would you or would
you not be in favor of having
open house on Sundays from
1-5 p.m."
Out of the 79 floor residents
55 were present at the time the
poll was taken. All were in
favor of having open house on
Sundays. As one disgruntled
resident pointed out, "Fr. M~
Intyre took a vote already;
what happened to It?"
Student Government Presl·

problem with the residents in a
corridor meeting last week. He
told The Stac that he has -;een

Mr. Hart concluded that "as
our confidence grows and the
new collective strengths are

current problems.

The group of about 30 demon­strators
later presented several

Phi emerged from the second
week of competition as the only
undefeated and untied teams in
either league. While they share
the League B top-spot, Gon­zaga
2, Regis 4, and New Donn
3 remain undefeated and dead­locked
atop the A League. The
week's action featured a full
slate of twenty-four contests;
the scores:

Deleue Shines Agaln
For the second consecutive
week the defense reigned su­preme.
League A registered
seven shutouts in ten games,
while two others were scoreles.c:
ties. The B loop numbered eight
shutouts among its nine games.
Campion 3 and DSP., the
pace-setters in League B, en­joyed
a perfect week. DSP
scored an impressive win over
the previously unbeaten day­hops
from the BAK, by the
score of 14-0. Quarterback
Chuck Dombeck fired two scor­ing
strikes: the first a 70 yard
bomb to end Rich "Bird" Dell'­Aquila
and the other to end
Tom Sidle for 10 yards. The
DSP "Doomsday Defense" was
led by the play of lineman
Dan Rogan.
The DSP defense posted an­other
whitewash; as the "frat­men"
downed ND 1, 7-0. Again
it was QB Dombeck who pro­vided
the offensive spark, this
time on another "bomb" - a
65 yarder to Larry Dunn. Ed
Salkowski led the frat of­fensive
line, protecting Dom­beck
from his center position.
Campion 3 chalked up three
wins, one a gift from the
"sleepers" on ND 4. ND 4 has
gone down via the forfeit route
no less than four times to date.
In its work on the field, C 3
was lead to a 6-0 victory over
C 4 by Dick Meele, who con­verted
an interception into the
game's lone tally. Campion 3
retained its unblemished record
with an 8-0 win over L 3, on
a TD pass from "Doc" Dough­erty
to Larry Drake. C 3's line
chipped in with a safety.
The BAK, holding down four­th
place, came up with two
wins sandwiched around their
bard-fought loss to DSP. The
locals won convincingly over
R 2, 20-0. QB Pat Henry hit Bill
Doerner and Mark Devaney for
six-pointers and then capped a
brilliant performance with a
keeper play for a TD. The
frosh from L 2 provided the
·BAK with a ·sti1fer challenge,
finally bowing 6-0. Rich D'­Amore
led Mark Gavoni for
the score. In another B Lea­gue
contest, C 4 edged L 3
6-0 as Paul Kelliher connected
with Tom Thielebeule, for the
latter's third TD of the young
season. L 3 battled R 2 to a
6-6 stalemate at L 2 had but
one spark of offense, but that
was enough to produce a 55 yd.
score to "sleeper'' Hank Dun­phy.
RegJS 2 scored on an end
sweep by QB Bill Senter who
was sprung by halfback Brian
"Hump'' MacAuley's key block.
MacAuley set up the score with
sm interception, followed up by
a 20 yard option run.
In the other game, ND 1
forgot that defense was the by­word
this week and romped to
a 31-0 win over G 3. Ed "Cat"
Williams put on a tremendous
one man show with three touch­down
receptions from QB Tom
"Bugs" Schwind. Williams add­ed
5 interceptions, one of which
he returned for a ·score. Tom
Ross and "Doc" Gavigan also
caught scoring passes. The
game between L' 2 and L 3 will
be replayed as club football
players were inv~lved in the
contest that ended in a 7-7 tie.
League A saw Gonzaga 2 ~d
Regis 4 jump Into the lead, G 2

6-0 when Terry Sacchi found
Jerry O'Halloran on the end of

Meanwhile R 4 kept p~
with vj.ctories over C 2 and
R 1. Against C 2, a 15 yd. toss
from Dave Closter to Tom

over R 1, 12-0, Ed Viola di­rected

October 23, 1968
By JOSEPH VALERIO
spore. EcUtor
Fairfield University fields a
respectable basketball team
which fonn.s the nucleus of this
campus' activity and interest.
Yet, on a smaller scale - a club
scale, no organization is better
run here than the Fairfield
Rugby Club. Rarely is a person
endowde4 with the physical
strength snd agility to compete
competently in such varied
sports, but Tom Crowley is such
an athlete.
As a freshman, Tom played
basketball for the Stag year­lings.
At the conclusion of
hoopla, Tommy's roomate en­couraged
him to join the rugby
club. Rugby demands agressive­ness
and agility; hence, Tom
waa a natural who garnered a
starting post in his third game
as a frosh. Since then, except
for the Spring of 1968 when an
ankle injury forced him to the
sidelines, Tom has started in
every "A" game.
BuketbaD ExperleDee
THI STA8
The following autumn, Tom
decided to continue his basket­ball
career under the tutelege of
fonner Coach George Bisacc~t.
That winter, a rather dismal
one for the s~ basketball
supporters, Tom saw consider­able
action as the varsity's rec­ord
dipped to 12-9. More im­portantly,
his grades dropped.
"We would return from a game
exhausted and no one felt much
like studying," explains the 6'2",
175 pound Crowley. "'nterefore,
my grades fell otr sufficiently
and I decided to stick with
rugby." However, he is quicll
to add, "I wouldn't have missed
a minute of it (basketball) for
it was quite an experience."
Tom Crowley on bJs pede.tal, the Butcll. (Photo by Colahan.)
Ruggedly handsome, as his
hair is quickly greying, Tom
uses his agility to quickly move
the ball around the field.
Should this strategy fail, then
the ball will die and the serum
will then have to carry the bulk
of the work. Q. Murphy has
tabbed his team's inside center
"the best fiat footed passer
around."
Orgaalzed Abortion
The highlight of Tommy's
outstanding career was being
selected the MVP at the 1967
Father and Son Weekend by his
colleagues. ;Recently, Tom's in­fiuence
and leadership qualities
were put to use when he organ­ized
an "abortion." This took
place in front of the gym on
the eve of the football season.
Unfortunately only Tom, the
team, and a handfull of fans
attended the pep (?) rally. Tom
simply notes, "It was an abor­tion."

Tom is a member of the Na­tional
Guard 'ntis duty requires
the trio of stars, who reside at
thE' Sea Ranch, to sacrifice one
weekend a month. Last Satur­day
the ruggers lost their first
match, 3-0, to Manhattan's Rug­by
Club in Central Park's mud.
Q. Murphy and the boys missed
Tommy's ftat footed passing in
the rain for it might have con­tinued
their undefeated season.
But there is always tomorrow.
For Tom Crowley, his quest
for an undefeated must be
postponed until the Spring. Few
will bet he won't achieve it.
Rams' Rout
Oontlnued from Pace 10
p~hed him over rugby-style.
Fairfield looked good in the
first period, stopping several
long Fordham drives to make
the stanza a mere 6-0 deficit.
Fordham started to drive late
in the quarter then and, when
a blodted punt gave them the
ball on the 25, they punched
over to make it 6-0. The next
score came on a 46 yard run
by halfback John Quattromoni
to make it 12-0.
The next four scores came
on the aforementioned intercep­tions,
making it 39-0. 'lbe final
two points came when punter
Fred Gaeta was trapped for a
safety. Thus only six of Ford­ham's
points were not gifts
from the Stags.
The win left the second­ranked
Rams in excellent shape

among club teams. The debacle
left the Stags with the unenvi­able
task of having to sweep
three of the remaining games
against Providence, Hartford,
Iona and LaSalle to ftnish above
.500.

Fall Baseball Reviewed
Oolltlnuecl from Pap 10
Bolger's average was low at
.222, but he was second in runs
scored with six.
Ken Lanifero, Bob Giusti, and
Bill Granata rounded out the
starting eight. Both Lanifero
and Giusti displayed power as
they hit some fine shots this
year, but they just didn't seem
to fall in.
Granata is captain of the
football team and therefore,
missed many practices, starting
ln only three games. Watch for
him this spring.
Despite the poor showing this
fall, coach Donald Cook is con-fl.
dent of a winning s~ seascm
in the spring. 'nle defense waa
finally getting together in the
last few games and the hitting
has always been evident. Cook
hopes to get a few more pitch­ers
by spring. Ed Wargo pitched
seven innings giving up only
two earned runs and could help
in relief. Mike Dougherty's last
appearance in rellef was five
shutout innings. If Jim Tully
shakes ofl his control problems
and the new pitchers come
through, Bob Gibson, the dean
of the statr, will eet enouah
rest and be will do much better
than his 2-9 autumn slate.

The Fordham Rams were aa

mud Saturday In dealing
the Fairfield Stags a 41-0 de­feat,
the worst in the history of
the Fairfield Football Club.

Two of the touchdowns came
at the tail end of the first half,
changing a 12-0 contest Into a
25-0 rout and destroying what
Uttle comeback chances the
Stags had.
Defensive h a l f back Tom
Harter latched on to an errant
Stag pass on a cross pattern
and went 60 yards to score.
Harter repeated his perfonn­ance
only minutes later when
Stag flanker Reuben Bradford
sUpped on the muddy turf, leav­ing
· Harter only too happy to
pick up another six points un­obstructed.
The obUging Mr. Harter took
another jaunt down the side­lines
later in the contest when a
pass intended for Bob Piaaa
was tipped Into his hands. The
final tally, on an interception,
came when Fairfleld attempted
to pass on its own two yard­line.

Spring Baseball
Once again it was George
Train who crossed the finish
line first for the Fairfield Cross
Country team. This time how­ever
he was not followed across
by a pack of Fairfield runners
as has been the case in most
of the meets this season. He
was instead urged across the
line by tl.ve St. Peter's runners
as the Stags suffered their see-
- ond defeat in nine meets.
John O'Rourke, Kurt Raschi,
Jack Lauter and Mark O'Don­oghue
who rounded out the
scoring for Fairfield could not
l'rain led by a sizable mar­gin
throughout the race and
probably would have had a
better time than his 28:50 had
the course not been so sllppery
due to a pouring rain.
Coach Giaquinto's squad now
has a record of seven wins
and two losses with three meets
left. The team expects to beat
Assumption, New Paltz and
New York Tech and prepare for
the Cross Country Champion­ships
to be held November 9.

A team with only three hur­lers
playing three games a week
is in trouble. When one of these
pitchers runs into control prob­lems
and another can only win
with a fastball, the trouble can
tJn'n to disaster and result in
only two wins in twelve games.
Tbe Stags did show some
ftne hitting and fielding, and,
except for the mound, great
strength up the middle. Tom
Finch was the catcher. Finch
was a good hitter and had
power. His nine hits were sec­ond
only to Eddie Wargo's ten:
his .281 B.A. was third to Stan
Norman and Jim Tully. Finch's
ereater skills however are de­fensively.
A good throwing arm
and outstanding quickness ·in
going to the wild pitch, the
bunt, or a foul, are complement­ed
by his ability to run the
team and help the pitchers keep
their calm.
At second. the Stags have two
tlDe sophomores In Jim Hock
and Bob Castrignano. Hock out­hit
Castrignano .273 to .143,
but the .143 doesn't tell the
story fcir Castrignano. They are
both good fielders with castrig­nano
having the edge in speed
and therefore he covered more
ground.
Shortstop Eddie Wargo led
the Stags in hits (10), runs (7),
RBI's (8), slugging percentage
(.500), total bases (20), and
stolen bases (7). Wargo also
played every game including a
seven-inning assignment on the
mound. Despite his offensive­output,
the shortstop is better
known for his fielding as he
possessed a strong throwing
ann.
The centerfielder was Stan
Nonnan, who came back after
a &low start to bat a team­leading
.333. Nonnan was also
good defensively with range
and a strong ann. The only
other regular was speedster
Skip Bolger, the left fielder.

Southern Conn.
Boots Stags, 3-1
By DAVID OAJSSE
The record of Fairfield's soc­cer
team sUpped to 3-3 las~
Tuesday a5 they dropped a 3-1
decision to strong Southern
Connecticut. A poor second
quarter was most responsible
for the loss. Southern scored
two goals In that period, both
on deftected kicks.
Jack Monahan was the only
Stag to break through South­em's
cast-iron defense, scoring
a goal in the first period. The
Owls, who never trailed, also
tallied earUer in that period.
The Stagi improved in the
second half and held Southern
scoreless. Hustling play by g~
ie Gary Dayon and fullback
Tom 'Bear' Moylan highlighted
the smothering of Southern's
scoring punch. However, the
Owl's defense proved to be re­lentless.
Last Saturday's contest at
Patterson State Colle&e was
postponed until November 16,
due to a ftooded field. Fairfield
battled New Haven College at
home yesterday. They will boat
Eastern Connecticut Friday, and
then play at Marist Saturda¥.
National Guard
Spurs Manhattan
By FRANK SANTULLI
The Fairfield Rugby Club
took its first loss of the season
last Saturday as the Manhat­tan
Rugby Club edged the "A"
team 3-0, and Fordham beat
the "B's" by a score of 17-:5.
In the match against M~t­tan,
the Red "A's" played with
three of their regular players
absent. Steve Carre, Bill Conno­lly,
and Tom Crowley had Ne,­tional
Guard duty. In spite ot
this handicap, Fairfield played
an exceptionally strong game
against the Manhatans, who
are rated as the seventh beat
'l'Ugby club in the country. The
"A" serum showed their ability,
in spite of adverse weather con~
ditions, as both Bob Maney and
Al Salomone ran over for a
score apiece. Unfortunately, toe
referee didn't agree, as both
trys were called back to the
Manhattan serum. Also Tom
Krenn's penalty kick was short
by a fraction, while Manhat­tan's
penalty kick, late in the
first half, was good for the only
three points scored in the match.
The Red Ruggers were un­daunted,
however, and continued
to play fine rugby for the r e­mainder
of the game, with
fine efforts by Q. Murphy and
determined jumping by Jaclt
Zorski. In the backfield, serum
half Kurt Schlichting provided
the passes from the serum, but
the movements just didn't make
it to the Manhattan goal, de;
spite the exceptional play ot
Jim Casey and Allan Perkins. ·
In the match against Ford­ham,
the Fairfield "B" team
sustained their first loss in a'
15 game winning streak that
began last fall. The "B's" play­ing
the entire first half with
three of their men missing,
couldn't contain the Old Ma­roon
from breaking through the
holes in their backfleld, as the
Rams scored 12 points in the
first half of the match.
In the second half, as the
missing ruggers in the Fairfield
line-up arrived, the "B's" re­verted
somewhat to their usual
brand of play. A good push fn
the serum was provided by
Mondo Flannagan, Joe Shields,
' and Tom Larkin, as hooker
Bnan Hanlon won every hook.
Also, Oluck Dombeck control­led
the lfne outs, but the "B"
backfleld stlll could not estab­lish
a strong movement, until
Tom King cut to the inside and
broke through the Fordham de­fense
for the only Fairtleld try.
Bear Sweeney's kick was good,
but time ran out and the "B's"
had to settle for a 17 -s defeat
