Dress Decline Seen
As Integrity Matter
B)' PAUL BERG
"Ifs a question of integrity.
Are the students able to follow
their own rules," acknowledged
Mr. Ronald Bianchi, Assistant
Dean of Students, when asked
about the recent dress contro­versy
here at Fairfield. Mr.
Bianchi stated that "the grt!at
majority of the students are ad­hering
to the rules but some
aren't."
Laat week approximately
seventy to eighty students were
attending classes and meals
with Improper attire. Three
weeks ago the number of stu­dents
was only fifty. If the num­ber
of students continues to In­crease
"there will be a prob­lem"
Mr. Bianchi added.

Llbera·l Czech Leader
Views Crisis Tonight
Dr. Ivan Svitak, a leader in
the Czechoslovakla liberaliza­tion
movement prior to the re­cent
occupation, will deliver a
Beliarmine Lecture entitled:
"The Czech Crisis: An Analysis
and Prediction," in the campus
Center Oak Room toniibt at
8 o'clock.
Very active in the intellectual
reform efforts since the poat
Stalin period, Professor Svjtak
became intimately involved in
the revisionist political move­ment
that recently swept ~e­choslovakia.
Prior to the occupation of his
homeland by the Warsaw Pact
troops, Dr. Svitak had left
Czechoslovakia on one of his
many speaking tours.
Presently a Senior Research
Fellow in the School of Inter­national
Affairs at Columbia
University Dr. Svitak is in the
process of preparing a book on
the recent events in Czechoslo­vakia.
Dr. Svitak joined the faculty
of Prague's 'Charles University
in 1950 after receiving degrees
In law and political science. He
served as a lecturer in ancient,
medieval and Renaissance hls­tory
and philosophy.
In 1954 he was named scien­tific
secretary of the Institute
of Philosophy at the Czechoslo­vakia
Academy of Science.
In 1956 Professor Svitak, a
leader in the intellectual re­form,
was branded an extreme
revisionist and forbidden to lec­ture.
In addition a ftve year
ban on all publications was le­vied
against him.
Then in 1959 he was sent
lvaD 8vt1ak
into banishment to Moravia and
suspended from the Institute of
Philosophy. After two years he
was reinstated to the institute
and received his third doctorate
degree.
In 1963 Svitak was a1aln cen­sured
by the government. He
was expelled from the Com­munist
Party, his lectures were
forbidden, and he was suspend­ed
from the institute.
AB the liberal movement
gained strength ln Czechoslo­vakia,
Svitak was re-appointed
to the institute and his books
were accepted for publication.
The Bellarmine Lecture Se­ries
is offered to the public free
of charge by Fairfield Univer­sity.
A question and answer period
will follow the Svitak speech.

False Alarm Pranksters
Termed Potential Danger
By DUANE llcDC;)NALD
Pranksters in the dormitories have again begun turning in false fire alarms. In
recent weeks, the alarms have been pulled several times in Regis and Loyola. All
of-the warnings, which occurred about 1:15 in the morning, proved to be false. In
general, the reactions of the students and prefects living in these dorms has been
impatient, if not hostile.
When a ftre alarm is broken

University Absorbs
Senior GRE Bill
The University plana next
February to administer to all
seniors the Graduate Record
Institutional Testing Proeram
including both the aptitude and
advanced tests of the aeries.
The University wUl absorb the
cost of this particular adminis­tration.
Included among the ad·
vanced tests will be examina·
tions In Biology, Businell,
Chemistry, Economics, Educa·
tion. Fre.nch, History, Litera­ture
in English, Mathematics,
Philosophy, Physics, Political
Science, Psychology, Sociology,
and Spanish.
The tests are given for three
purposes:
1. The results may assist .lCa·
demic departments In the eval­uation
of the outcome of their
instructional programs. Depart·
ments may learn thereby how
the particular emphasis which
they bring to bear upon subject
matter may be reflected in com·
parisons with other Institutions.
2. Individual students may be
able to estimate their grasp of
their major fteld by means of
measures which are indepen­dent
of the Falrfteld marking
system. Hopefully, students can
use this knowledge in making
more meaningful plana for ap-plication
to graduate school
3. Students may use the
scores received on these exam­inations
as they would use the
scores on the same exams taken
in the Graduate School Sel~
tion Program. Arrangements
can be made with the Educ. ·
tional Testing Service for tran­scripts
of scores to be forward.
ed to Institutions to which a
student might apply.
In connection with the 1ut
purpose of the Institutional
Testing Program, students who
seek early acceptance at grad­uate
schools would be well ad­vised
to take the examinations
in the usual administrations pro­vided
in the Graduate School
Selection Program. These ad­min.
istrations, for which the
costs are assumed by the stu·
dent, fall on December 14 nnd
January 18 and applications for
them are available in the Dean's
office.
Students are further advised
that the Graduate Record Ex·

Program is not to be confused
with those tests that are used
for admission to professional
schools of law, medicine, den­tistry
or to graduate sc:hoot. of

Democrats' $urvey
Reveals Surprises
The results of last week's poll conducted by the
Young Democratic Club revealed a surprising increase
in anti-war, anti-draft, anti-Administration sentiment
at Fairfield. In the words of a club spokesman, the poll
"has shown a great deal of dissatisfaction among the ·
student body with the war in Vietnam, the black prob­lem
and the student's relevance in the context of his
environment here at Fairfield."
Perhaps the most striking response came In answer to the
question concerning the students' presidential preferences. Despite
the fact that Eugene McCarthy is not an official candidate for the
office, 30.6% of those polled Indicated that they would vote for
him If presented with the opportunity.
Hubert Humphrey placed second with 25.8% of the vote, Rich­ard
Nixon was a close third at 22.3%, George Wallace managed
6.3% and Eldridge Cleaver, a black mllitant running on the Peace
and freedom ticket, polled 3.8%. The remaining 11.2% of the 314
participating students either left the question unanswered or fn.
dicated a preference for minor candidates.

There was a laree undecided vote on the ftnal question and
scattered undecided votes on the other questions which accounts
for the seemingly unbalanced percentage of total responses.
The poll seemed to Indicate a progressive increase in anti-war,
anti-draft feeling moving from the class of '72 to the clasa of '69.
Well over two-thirds of the campus polled also favored black
control of black communities.
According to the club spokesman, the poll was conducted "to
see what the oplnfons of the student body were on national Jasues
and also to see to what extent those views were In keepillc with
those of the Democratic Club."

India Governor Cites
Greatness of Country
By DAVID McVITl'IE
"India is one of the great nations of Asia." This
was the opening appraisal of his country by B. K.
Nehru, Governor of the state of Assam in India, at the
second Bellarmine Series Lecture of the year. Former
Ambassador to the United States and Secretary of the
Treasury in India, Nehru is now involved in plana for
economic development in his homeland.
The Governor explained why ----------­he
considered India to be such
a great nation, citing fts large
size, immense population, great
diversity and abundant natural
resources. Concerning the gov­ernment
of his country, Nehru
stressed, "It is exceedingly im­portant
to remember that India
is a democracy In the same
sense that the United States is."
Governor Nehru then cited
the progress made by that Asian
country. In Industry, there has
been a slow, steady Improve­ment,
and India now has a lim­ited
Industrial system of gov­ernment
and privately owned
factories. He also stressed the
progress made In agriculture,
transportation, education, and
health conditions. However, as
a. result of these efforts, there
now exists a situation of ovel'­population.
"We have everything - all
we haven't got is money!" the
former Ambassador stated. He
attributed this lack of capital
to the democratic form of gov­ernment
existing in India.
Nehru complained that a dem­_
ocracy doesn't allow the• ~ov­ernment
to force the peopie, as
a whole, to save money. At this
point, the Indian Governor gave
his country an ultimatum,
"Either forget economic devel­opment
or forget democratic
govenunent"
Nehru then mentioned the
possibilities of receiving some
form of foreign aid. He Inform­ed
the audience that although
India does receive a great deal
of money, "In per capita terms,
It gets less foreign aid than
any other coun1ry."
In conclusion, the vialtor from
India declared that, "if we can­not
make a success of democ­racy
In India, then no .,ther
under-developed n a t 1 o n will
ever become democratic."
Central Facility Unit
Construction Begins
Fairfield will begin construc­tion
this fall on a central utili­ties
facility to provide for dis­tribution
of heat and air con­ditioning
for campus bulldlngs.
The facility, which will be lo­cated
In a low ridge between
Berchman's Hall and the tennis
courts, will provide air condi­tioning
for the new library by
means of a chilled water sys­tem.
It will also supply the pro­jected
science building with
both heatine and coolini ele­ments.
The architectural 1lrm of
Fletcher-Thompson. Inc. of
Bridgeport is cooperating with
consulting engineers of Jansen
and Rogan of New York In pre­paring
plans for the building,
which is expected to be com­pleted
in the Sprlne of 19'69.
The funds for the $700,000
building will be raiaed during
the ftrst phase of Fairfield's
Capital Campaign which was
kicked of! last September.
Mr. Dunigan, the University's
en&fneer, explained that "whUe
the main advantaee of the fa­cility
will be the centralizing of
the heat and coollne systems,
it also is desiened with flexib¥1-
ty for the future. The bulldlni
is planned so that It can meet
the demands of the present
structures .as well as projected
buildings."
The buff brick and concrete
paneled building Is designed to
fit in with the prevallng archi­tecture
of the University. It
will be located near the center
of the area designated for fu­ture
academic bulldinp.
The interior ot the structure
is designed to best utilize the
available space. The main room.
the larger of the projected two
sections, will contain two heat­ing
units and two cooling units.
The mezzanine will provide of­flees
for the resident enemeer,
the director of malntanence and
the campus security force.
The almost totally automatic
Central Utilities Facility will be
heated by gas for nine months
of the year, and will only re­quire
a minimal stat! to oper­ate
it.
Attached, although not part
Q!. the original design, will be a
provision to consolidate the
electrical circuits as they oome
In from the outside. The elec­trical

The Future Of Catholic CollegeS
Some interesting developments have been taking place in Cath­olic
high education recently. Georgetown and St. Louis have in recent
years allowed laymen on their trustee boards. St. Louis has given
them a numerical majority. A report was prepared for Fordham
University which advised the Jesuit order that it never really owned
the school to begin with and that its attempt to give religious identity
to the institution should be systematically phased out. Last week,
Fordham announced the formation of a new trustee board, to be
dominated by laymen. In Washington, the Jesuit Educational Asso­ciation
announced that 20 of 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the
U.S. had made similar decisions, at least in principle. Meanwhile,
Fairfield University is co-defendant in a suit that might mean the
demise of all Catholic colleges because it might lead to loss of all
Federal funds. . .__ -
Still, some things remain the same. At St. Louis, two-thirds votes
must change policy, and the laymen do not have that. The President
of Fordham affirmed that the Jesuits intend to control it for the in­definite
future, and stressed that the recent report was only a legal
memo. Fordham's Vice President stressed the lack of change, and
reported that even more Jesuits would be at Fo-rdham next year. And
Rev. William Crandell of the JEA insisted that the "inclusion of lay
people does not constitute a process of secularization."
We submit that it 'OUght to mean just that, for no other course
seems acceptable in the modern epoch. Fr. Coughlin wondered aloud
about the future and meaning of the Catholic colleges' endeavor at
Father-Son Weekend, and others in the Jesuit order have as well:
but the emphasis is a financial one. We believe it sh·ould be philo­sophical
as well, and that the realization must be made that the
"well-rounded Christian gentleman" is a goal as unattainable today
as it is undesirable tomorrow.
Catholic colleges may continue to look to a past whose scenario
was written by John Henry Newman, but they will meet their fate
in a future whose scenario has been written by Harvey Cox. Here at
Fairfield, we know contingency plans are being formulated in ease
the suit is lost, and we realize that they cannot be revealed for rea­sons
of legal tact. But if Fairfield counts itself as one of the 20
schools to rely on laity, it deludes itself: the Trustees are almost all­laity,
but real power rests in the all-clerical Corporation, and unless
that is restructured there might be hard times ahead for. Fairfield,
both on campus and in court.
Letters To T'he E·dltor
SDS To SBW
To the Editor :
After reading the seventh issue of
ThP- St~. it would seem appropriate that
the paper should consider a new head­ing.
How about the "SDS TIMES"
where all those "intellectual saviors of
mankind" relate the problems of the
University and the World to the Student
Body and show their real concern in
making the world a better place for
everyone.
Isn't the purpose of our education
oriented toward preparing us to o!ntcr
society and to improve it ? Isn't it the
goal of a university to produce human
beings, whether they be Catholic or
Jewish, black or white, Italian or Irish,
who hopefully will be able to get along
with people in all kinds of situations.
The only kind of people the SDS is
going to produce for society are the ones
who want change for the sake of change,
and otTer no constructive alternatives
and who refuse compromise because they
feel they arc being cheated but they fail
to realize that it's the cheater who fears
being cheated the most.
Benjamin Franklin, considered one of
the greatest Americans of all times,
spoke of thirtren virtues in his Auto·
blo.:raphy, which he believed would give
more meaning to his l!!e if followed. I
wish the members of the SDS would
ponder over three of these virtues:
Silence - "Speak not but what may
benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling
conversation."
Order - "Lrt all things have their
places; let each part of your business
have its time."
Sincerity - "Use no harmful deceit;
think innocently and justly, and if you
speak, speak accordingly."
I firmly believe SDS is speaking on
some matters where moderation should
be observed. I firmly believe SDS is
confusing the issues and forgetting about
order and reason. I firmly believe SDS
is blinded by a so called "sincerity"
which is really insincere.
Wouldn't it be nice if some group also
tried to control The Stag and replace
the name with "THE SBW TIMES" -
Students for a Better World! Gentle-men,
isn't that our man purpose for
being here?
Sincerely,
.James Fitzpatrick '70

Catholic Turmoil
To the Editor:
We write to you about the turmoil
which presently grips the Catholic Com­munity
in Washington. The most :lra­matic
evidence of this is that 40 priests
of the Archdiocese of Washington are
forbidden, in varying degrees, to prac­tice
their ministry because of their posi­tion
on the right of conscience.
How is the fractured unity to be re­stored
so that we may advance together
toward a still greater unity in Christ!
It is our hope that some assistance may
comt' from the semi-annual meeting of
the Conference of Catholic Bishops of
tht' United States which begins here in
Washington on November 11 - speci­fically
that the Bishops will find a way
to get the Washington dispute subml~ted
to their own Committee for Mediation.
If the Bishops are to take any mean·
ingful action, though, they must be in­formed
and kept aware of the serious­ness
of the present situation. To this
end the enclosed four-page letter has
been circulated nationally as a vehicle
of information and an invitation to con­crete
action.
If your colle~e or university is near
Washington we would be most grateful
for your help in publicizing Unity .Day,
November 10. Senator Eugene McCarthy
will be an active participant in our pro­gram.
If it is not practical because of
distance for you to be here, we suggest
that you have a Unity Day Observance
on Sunday, November 10 on your own
campus. If your chaplain is sympathetic,
perhaps it could be held in conjunction
_with Mass that Sunday .
Any support you can give to us at
this time will be greatly appreciated.
Fraternally yours,
Those priests In Washington who
have been deprived of their Ministry

A Closer Look
To the Editor:
When you realize the fact that an ad­ministrator
came to us, the students,
you have to be somewhat impressed.
That is exactly what Mr. Griffin, the
Director of Student Services did two
weeks ago at the open forum. He was
there to answer questions and become
aware of problems in the student asso­ciation.
The fact was, after the forum
I finally comprehended the fact that the
' stud:mts do have at least one genuinely
sincere person working for them.
I had been to see Mr. Griffin earlier
for an interview for The Stag regarding
the Bill of Rights. The fact that the is­sue
had been misrepresented did not
cause him to make any ugly remarks to
anybody or anything, but instead he
spoke to me both cordially and in a
matter of fact manner. The examples
and parallels he used in the forum were
the same I heard in his office, so they
must be an integral part of his phil­osophy
and not just snappy analogies.
What he imprinted on my mind was not
the "father" or the "fool on the bill"
image but simply the image of a man
trying to do his job.
I realize that by making such a state­ment
I would be immediately categor­ized
pro-administration. I am not. I re­alize
too, that the problem probably lies
in the fact that I am an open-minded
individual. I take facts both from the
right and left. I do not challenge for in­stance,
students who formed an organ­ization
<S.O.S.) on campus to promote
their ideals. I admire this. What I would
take exception to is the atmosphere of
"anti-everything" that they have created.
The atmosphere has been here In the
past as each of us knows by reading
The Stac, but has it permeated every­thing
and everybody as it would appear
to anybody reading The Stag this year.
The fact that my own friends ask "what
is with The Stagf Is it an S.O.S. rag?
Is radicalism the only news on this
campus?"
I would emphasize again that I am
not knocking S.O.S. but I urge you to
look at yourself and who you have rep­resenting
you.
A member of your organization
"popped" into the open forum and came
in to "do his thing" which entailed tricky
articulation and cool analogies to be
sure, but the only thing was, it was don~
while another student and Mr. Griffin
were engaged in a conversation. Mr.
Griffin, just sat there and ignored him
and did not "lose his cool." The fact
that this same individual left just as
suddenly as he had come and took the
time to throw a dirty look and mutter
something as he left, just made me
wonder if he was "just doing his thing';
or showing a new kind of protest.
I , as the "average" student was not
impressed wtth this at all. It was rather
with two other S.O.S. members whose
questioning involved reasoning and logic.
I was impressed by their sincerity, rea­soning
and the fact that they listened to
Mr. Gri1rln.
Basically, I am not a complacent per­son
but this year I feel that we do not
have it all that bad. The new handhook
is somewhat liberal and grants to stu­dents
more than we 'ever have had. 'Ibe
exceptions, drinking and parietals are
still being discussed so it is not a closed
issue. The fact was, with all the bitching
that occurs on this campus, there were
only 50 students at the forum which
supposf:'dly afforded a sounding board
for student problems. Also it was pretty
evident that there appears to be no major
catastrophes on this campus since no
one brought any out at the forum.
Fairfield, it seems, is no Columbia.
Mr. Griffin is not a Columbia adminis­trator.
The same conditions do not ~xist
here as there, and a "Mark Rudd'' has
yet to show himself. I urge fellow-stu­dPnt.<;
to adhere to their principles and
at the same time be open-minded to
what you see and hear. Do not bitch
for the sake of bitching. The adminic;tra­tion
is attempting a fair job In rom­municating
with the student and we

My mind, u if possessed by

wanders u if on a strange trip
through the allusive images of
a dreamlike, yet famlliar world.
It once seemed a year, yet so
many flashing seconds now.
There were beautiful people,
always happy, llving a -:are­free

rolling green bllls of an ancient,
proud land. But then the fraglle

I saw another world, not hap­py,
not beautlful, and yet one I
could not escape. In the horror
of my vision I saw 6rst one,
then a second of its leaders
killed. I closed my eyes but
could not hide from the truth.
I never ·wanted to leave that
first land of happiness and re­turn
to the othe.r world of my
nightmare. Yet I could not
escape from that second more
terrifying world. As I was be­ing
reluctantly pulled back to­ward

seemed Inevitable. This Ia

speculate on the fate of our na­tion

First and foremost, George

that even a bigot could become

The blue collar and "ita my

the "cat (once Lady) bird" seat
would find to their dismay that
they, like their Alabama breth­ren,
would not be earning more
now, but would be working for
less.
Richard Nixon will show if
elected that there Is no new
Nixon, just a "trickl(er) Dick."
He will ftnd out that to have
real law and order you must
pay for it. He will cut fhe bud­get
and hand-out bigger night
sticks. It won't work. He'll find
that we've elected this man as
President of the U.S.A., but
even now would you really buy
a used car from this man?
Hubert Humphrey may not
have a lot but he does have
Edmund Muskle. Humphrey l.f
elected may not, but could end
the war. He may not. but \!ould
stem the racial unrest and ur­ban
crises. I doubt Hubert
Humphrey could solve com­pletely
the problems that we
now face. But Nixon or Wallace
could probably only worsen
them. Humphrey Is the only
one who could delay a terrible
fate until another Robert Ken­nedy
might 'appear In '72.

America You Asked For It! -----------------------------------
University And Community
By PATRICK K. LONG

The university's relationship to the community has been the target of much
attention from a host of disparate sources in the last few weeks.
The two most notable com- ------------
unz.111g sanrour a.ru s.IOlUluaw
who charged that "American
universities h a v e destroyed
themselves by turning into pub­lic
utilities" and Clark Kerr
who felt that universities must
"provide service to the cities,(
the lower classes and the pot>r."
In an interview, Fr. William
C. Mcinnes, S.J ., President.
said that be felt that "the truth
is somewhere between Kerr's
statement and Barzun's." How­ever,
Fr. Mcinnes stressed that
the business of the university
is primarily educational.

"Students have felt removed
from the center of the unlve~
sltles concern," Dr. Ban:un
noted. The former dean of fac­ulties
and provost at Columbia
University felt that this over-­involvement
in community ac­tivities
was one of the major
causes. of last spring's rebelllon
at cOiumbla.

"I have nothing against the

going on out of its fund of
knowledge," Dr. Barzun con­cluded,
"but the university 11

Cross more than a university,

Less than a week after Bar·
zun's statements, Dr. Clark
Kerr, a leading authority on
higher education. launched a
verbal counterattack against
Dr. Barzun's statements, al­though
be did not mention him
by name.
The head of the Commission
on the Future of Higher Educa­tion
said that the question to­day
was "not whether the uni­versities
should provide serv­Ice
but rather to whom and for
what."
"It a. & queeUon whether unl·

they wa.nt to eerve eriUclsm a.nd

Kerr continued.
Historical ·Servlee
Looking to history, Dr. Kerr
noted that earlier universities
provided ser\'ice to the aristoc­racy
and to 30ille of the elite
professions. In the past Amer­Ican
higher education has ierv­ed
largely the middle and upper
classes and was arlented toward
rural and suburban society.
"The conflicts of earlier times
were fought on the farms and
in the factories, but now they
are concentrated in the ghettos
and on the campus,' Dr. K'err
comment..ci.

In hl.s speech at the mass of
the Holy Spirit this past SeP­tember,
Fr. Mcinnes ccmmen~
ed about the relationship be­tween
the university and the
community: "The community
is at our gates. We cannot an­swer

shouting them down. If the col­lege
Is to avoid becoming a
battle-field or a cemetery, lt
must seek to understand its own
Intellectual resources and or-­ganize

Fr. Mcinnes felt that a uni­versity's
aloofness must be
abandoned, but not Its scholll!'­ship.

Therefore, any comment I might make 011 the race for President
would be stale, to say the least, by the time the Falrfteld com­munity
read it. But even now as I sit at my typewriter, four days
before Huntley and Brinkley bring you the results in Uvlng color,
Spiro T. Agnew and the New York Times are in a real hassle over
what's ftt to print and whose unftt to be Vice-President. Mr. Nixon
and Mr. Humphrey have finally gotten around to personalities and
decided that they really don't like one another. Archangel Edmund
Sixtus Muskle has won the "Most Likeable Candidate" award,
with "Bombs Away" Curt LeMay finishing last. And If by some
strange tum of fate George Wallace should be elected, hecklers
all over the country have held a lottery to see who will be the
first to lie down in front of his Presidential limousine to see if be

I came across an interesting article in the October 23rd Issue
of the Boston University paper, The News. I thought I would pass
along an excerpt from it, simply as food for thought.

The article is somewhat extreme. It sounds like a call fer a
witch-hunt of campus radicals. But how extreme is the article
when compared to what happened at Columbia, and what is hap­pening,
to a greater or lesser degree, on campuses throughout the
country! It is up to the enUre student body to decide what the
establishment of an S.O.S. chapter here will mean. Also, it is up
to the members of the Fairfield S.O.S. to decldt! how closely they
will identify with the image and actions of other chapters, and
what benefits they will provide for our academic community. I
don't expect to see a "take over" of Canlslus Hall. But the S.O.S.
will raise questions and point out possible Ills in our society and
In our university. If the student majority doesn't answer these
charges or d isprove their validity, then the meaning of Fa.irfteld

GRASS ROOTS
By KEVIN KELLEY
"A Walk Down St. Mark'• - Where Love Has Gone."
Two summers ago I spent ten days in Haight-Ashbury. The
love scene was then at its apex - the diggers had opened free
stores, minds were being expanded and blown, and the dreamy
jingle of bells and tambourines enlivened every street corner. The
Fillmore and Avalon dance halls were nascent meccas of psyche­delia:
the bands blared, the lights Bashed and the crowd freaked.
"Love" was the password then; it was enbroidered on the build·
ings and the people. They were proud of their naivet! and they
advertised their idealism at every opportunity. More than anything,
the Haight was a symbolic free-city for "a whole generation with
a new explanation." It was an awkward, but tight conglomeration
of the alienated: "Angels" and runaways flowed together naturally
on the teeming sidewalks. The ambience was one of nonchalant
confidence. People had left their hangups behind in Scarsdale and
Pasadena.
A walk down Saint Mark's Place today reveals what the
passage. of time has wrought. The feet are still naked and the
hair is still scraggly but the mood of the natives is overtly dif·
ferent. "Any spare change?", recites a sixteen year old refugee
from Queens. A negative reply now draws curses and scowls in·
stead of a nod and a tolerant grin. The street is overrun with
speed freaks ud weekend pretenders. The aura of hostillty and
artificiality hits you like a Mack truck. The cops are pigs, the up­tight
tourist is hated, not pitied, and "Ho, Ho Ho Chi Minh, the
N.L.F. is gonna win!" It's the year of the heroic guerllla - dig!
Everyone's on a violence trip with a bloody scalp the badge of
status. Mao, Rap and Che are where it's at this season and all the
street's a stage with the theatre of masochism being the current
attraction.
Nothing typifies the new life-style better than the current
culture. The "Cream" and ''Big Brother" are the symbols of the
despair and defiance that are so sadly prevalent. Ginger Baker
looks like an anemic Boris Karlofr while Janis Joplin is about as
tender in her sexuality as Tugboat Annie. Speed and sex are both
suffering from over-exposure, but if you look militant and talk in
absolutes you can't lose. Most nights at the Fillmore aren't fun
anymore; you go, not to witness and participate in an emerging
art form, but to remain politically chic. Country Joe is trying
damnedest to shock us with "outrageous" diatribes and the "Who
are still faithfully blowing up thelr amps. Spontaneity and relev­ance
in rock are being sacrificed for phony theatricality.
All of which drove me to see Jean Luc-Godard's latest flick -
"Weekend." (It's probably the .best expression yet of the cata­clysmic
chaos we're wallowing in.) All humanity is tied up in an
apocalyptic traffic jam. The roads are strewn with charred bloodied
corpses and exploding car wrecks. People are killing one another
in an indlfferent, casual fashion: the hippies have all gotten guns·
and are holed-up in a stockaded Walden. Their only goal is to
pr~tctice genocide on straight society. "Love" has become a four­letter
word that soun<Js obscene and ludicrous.
Godard's analysis seems accurate enough: we're throwing
bottles and having our skulls cracked for no apparent reuon. A
country in which twenty percent of the electorate agrees with
George Wallace is hardly a haven for a leftist coup. Sure, the
rhetoric has progressed and it's very romantic to dream about
sabotage, but the whole idea of murder to produce justice seems
profanely hypocritical. The Beatie's "Revolution" isn't a sell-out, it's
a statement of pragmatic politics. Julian Beck says: "People are
losing faith in non-violence because they saw it only as a technique.
No, if it has any meaning, it has to be an actuality. The revolu•
tion simply cannot be achieved with violence. In fact, violence Is
counter-revolutionary. The revolution is not a putsch, a seizure
of power, but an internal as well as an external act." I agree.

Ideals To Follow
To the Editor:
I would like to reftect, to the Fairfield
community, on my desire for a revolu­tion.
Leo Tolstoy has made many things
clear to me. Nothing comes to my mind
as more true and clear than his '-Pti­mistlc
hope for a new life in which the
ideals of Christ become the ideals of the
world. The world has accepted and vo­calized
the words of Chrlst, but has
practiced a type of "status-securing"
philosophy. In place of (or rather ahead
of) love, status is the goal. Instead of
peace for all, peace on one's own terms.
Instead of loving as oneself, lov~g one­self
and then loving others. It is only
when one has acquired enough security
on a very high, or comparatively high,
rung on the ladder of life that he has
looked beyond himself to others. To
compare and seek for prominence is the
antithesis of love. The great white lib­eral
and the middle-class revolutionary
must maintain his economic, intellectual,
or romanticized position in society if he
desires to work for others.
Christ preached an ethic of altrul!!m,
and we accept and vocalize his sayings.
But we continue to put ourselves ftrst
Christ spoke of peace, and Johnson and
the nominees seek for honorable peace.
Honor is a meaningless term. It inti­mates
status and comparison of persons
or people. Abbie Hoffman cries for love
and calls cops "pigs." Let peace and
love be our only values. Any qualifica­tion
distorts and destroys them.
The revolutionary is political and ls
in danger of qualifying his goals into
non-existence. The revolution I want is
a complete one. I don't want a shift in
power from one faction that qualifies
the real values. The only revolutionary
is the lover or the one who knows he's
qualified love and seeks to remedy that.
The political rebel today has the hardest
task in history. He has set real values
as the goals for the new society and he
faces the absurdity of r uining any
chance of attaining them in himself!

Public Thanks
To the Editor:
I would Uke to take this opportunity
to publicly thank all those individuals
who were so thoughtful to respond to
the Thursday, October 17, 1968 booth
in the Campus Center and Biafra Rally
the same evening established by the
Fairfield University Chapter of the Food
For Biafra Committee in order to seek
to aid starving children in Bia.fra.
I would furthermore, like to express
particular gratitude to Father William
C. Mcinnes, S.J ., who has pledged to
match student contributions toward spon·
soring chlldren in our Ivory Coast
havens.
The response on the part of many of
the members of the Fairfield University
community should serve to dispel much
pessimism over the deceptive frustration
that arises from the feeling that little
can be done. It is our hope that our
efforts endeavor to arouse continued con·
cern over the daily loss of life on the
part of countless innocent victims in
Biafra.
I would urge all those Interested in
joining with us in our humanitarian
efforts to feel free to contact me either
through the University postal service
(Box 363), or by phoning 762-3446.
Sincerely,
.Richard D. CuJmiD&ham, Chal.rmaa

In A Bad Bag?
To the Editor:
We dedicate this letter to the proposi­tion
that all animals are created equal,
but a.s George Orwell and Fr. Mci ntyre
would point out, some animals are more
equal; in particular, second floor Loyola
and h1s students. Despite the fact that
Fr. Mcintyre is practicing despotism
and that he advocates the idea that man
is born intrinsically evil, we question
that if jacket and ties are a human form,
would not tux and/or tails make us
superhuman. Fr. Mcintyre points out
that be is here (on earth f) to cultivate
the human. Is He about His Fathers'
business T We question his respect for
the student since he does not respect
the student rlght and human right to
decide for themselves. If Fr. Mcintyre
can do his own thing, why must it be at
the expense of us doing ours. Could it
be he's in a bad bag? If his illusions
are personal, why must he ftnd it neces­sary
to impose them on others? Certain·
ly religion too is personal, but the In­quisition
is long gone (or is itT) If the
humanity of students is an illusion to
Fr. Mcintyre, are we in turn allowed
to view Mcintyre in the same way. (Is
this also in the Divine Plan?)
We, the inhuman, are glad Fr. Mc­Intyre
realize~ his obligation to teach
us manners, and certainly there is no
finer gentleman to teach us. As Fr. Me·
Intyre sees himself, we also see him as
a reality principle. (And people wonder
why we turn on, tune in, and drop out -
from reality (principles).
We are glad that Fr. Mcintyre stands
for the Other Side because we certainly
wouldn't want him on our side.
Sincerely Yours in Mcintyre,

of student interns. It is
designed to carry out three main
goals:
A. To provide an opportunity
for students to learn about
City Government by doing
actual work in a fteld re­lated
to their career inter­ests,
and to become person­ally
involved in the prob­lems
of the American City.
B. To provide a source of fin­ancial
assistance to students
who must work in order to
continue their higher educa­tion.
C. To provide the City with a
source of motivated young
men and women capable of
carrying out urgently needed
assignments and potentially
interested in public service
careers.
Urban Corps interns have
been assigned to virtually every
city agency and department.
They have carried out tasks
ranging from public adrni.rus­tration
through mental health
work to technology and legal
research, as well as storefront
work on the streets of the city's
ghettos. Placement in an intern­ship
assignment depends upon
the studenf s apeclClc interests

Boaters' Rout 6-0;
Even Log at 5-5
By DAVID CAISSE
Fairfield's young soccer team
moved a step closer in their
drive toward the flrst winning
season in the history of Fair­field
soccer by routing Western
New England, 6-0, last Satur­day.
It was the Stags best etfort
of the year and evened their
record at 5-5.
Fairfield was off and running
In the opening quarter as Tim
Roach and Mike Foley booted
goals. In the flrst quarter, and
throughout the game, the Stag
otfense dominated the action.
Kow_.uk Scone
Two more goals were scored
by Fairfield in the second
quarter. Buzz Kowaluk slam-med
the third one into the net,
and Tim Roach scored his sec­ond
of the game on a penalty
kick.
The flnal two goals were
tallied by Jim Higgins and Ro­land
Corbin in an all out team
effort. Goalie Gary Dayon re­corded
his second shutout of the
season for the Stags.
Fairfield has three games re~
maining and must win two to
finish with a winning record.
They play at Monmouth Col­lege
this Saturday and oppose
StonehUl next Monday in their
ftnal home appearance of the
season, before their season's
finale at Patterson College, Nov.

DSP And C4 Battle To
0-0 Tie In League B
By BILL W ABNK.EN
An abbreviated schedule of
only eight games was high­lighted
by the DSP-Campion 4
game in League B. DSP entered
the contest in a tie for the lead
with Campion 3, while Campion
4 lingered JAa game behind. In
this "year of the defense,"
these two squads are among the
few who have averaged better
than a touchdown per game,
both clubs entering the ~ntest
carrying 14 point averages.
However the defenses took con­trol
(each having but one TD
all year) and rendered each
other's powerful offenses im­potent,
in the 0-0 stale~ate.
DSP, without the services of
QB C h.u c k Dombeck, .had
trouble mvoing behind substi­tute
Larry Dunn. Campion 4's
explosive passing attack was
held in check by the DSP
"Doomsday Defense." The DSP
threatened on several occasions,
but the C 4 defense led by
Marty Murray and Paul Kel­liher
dug in to stop two long
drives. As a result of the tie,
DSP remains tied with Camp­ion
3, which was idle and C 4
stays in third place.
The BAK moved into a fourth
place deadlock with New Dorm
1. by virtue of its 19-0 thrashing
of winless Gonzaga 3. Pat
Henry connected with Mark
Gavoni for a 45 yard TD sec­onds
before the first half ended.
Henry ran in from two yards
out in the second half and then
hit his "Phantom Halfback"
Artie on a 20 yard scoring pass
with 15 seconds remaining for
the third touchdown. One of

SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT, Stratford, Conn. • Division of United Aircraft Corp. • An Equal Opportunity Employer
November 6, 196&
By .JOSEPH VALERIO
Sports Editor
This could be quite a year
for senior Timothy Roach. Tim
proudly describes himself as a
"s t a u n c h conservative" ana
Election Year '68 should make
the soccer team's rover most
happy. Perhaps of more interest
to Fairfield students, Tim con­fidently
believes that this year's
squad can cop two of their last
three games and compile the
first winning record in this uni­versity's
history.
At Levittown High School in
Long Island, Tim co-captained
the soccer team to the South
Shore Championship in his seni­or
season. This autumn, Tim
serves as co-captain with Tom
Moylan. Whereas Tom is the
defensive stalwart, Timmy is
the club's playmaker. When the
season ends next Monday, the
handsome, blonde-haired, blue­eyed
veteran will have notched
over ten assists, a noteworthy
achievement when one realizes
the socccer team plays only 13
games. Hence, this is an output
of nearly one assist per game
for a team that is averaging ap­proximately
- two goals per
game!
Heart Munnu.r
In his eighth year of competi­tive
soccer, it is ridiculous to
note that the scholastic Roach
was rejected from the Air
Force Academy because of a
heart murmur. However, air­planes
have long commanded
Tim's attention and love. Hence,
the 6 foot, 190 pounder passed
a special physical examination
and, therefore, received a rare
waiver to enroll in Air Force
ROTC at Fordham University.
Along with classmate Phil
Howe (President of Student
Government) , Tim spends four
hours at the neighboring Jesuit
institution each Wednseday
evening.
Therefore, Tim explains, "I
have earned a student's pilot
license whereby I can fly a
Cessna 150 at any airport."
Upon graduation this June, he
will be commissioned to one
year pilot's training. Tim will
then spend four years as an
officer for he has volunteered
for overseas service. Thus, it
is highly probable that Tim will
make his career in the Air
Force.
Party Boya
The Fairfield Beach Road
resident enjoys playing hoops in
his spare hours in addition to
dividing his social talents at
Manhattanville, Marymount,
and New Rochelle. A history
major, Tim rooms with three
party boys. Jack Zorskl Is an
"A" team rugby standout while
Joe Russo is Secretary of the
Student Government, and Jack
Koach "sleeps alot." Such com­radeship
is the fondest memory
of Fairfield that Tim will re­member.
"I have had a good
time, met some great guys,
goofed-off, and been to sorhe
tremendous parties," he ex­plains.
Tim's passion for ftood times
was never more evident than in
his sophomore year when he
"slid the suspension" which
nailed three cronies for enjoy­ing
the fruits of life on campus.
Life has been good to Tim
Roach and, In return, the aimi­able
soccer veteran has pro-

They arrived at 12:30 after

still Fairfield's due to the for­felt.

the same competition. Fair­field's

placed in most of the varsity
meets this year. If Ira Davis,
Brian Keefe, Curt Rash! and
Dennis Galagher run as a pack
they might be able to do well.
Whatever the outcome of
Saturday's endeavors, the '68
S t a g harriers accomplished
more than any other team in
the school's history. At present
they have the better record
than the football and soccer
teams. Next year the team will
have all varsity men returning
with the exception of senior
George Train. John O'Rourke,
who holds the school's course
record, will be expected to fill
his shoes. Much will depend on
this year's freshmen if Nick
Gioquinto is to continue his
newly established winning ways.

The New York Knicks continue to baffle profes­sional
basketball fans with their incohesive and er­ratic
play in the first few weeks of the NBA season.
The Knicks of the past were distinctively mediocre,
but this year's edition possesses a wealth of talent that
was a result of having a first crack at the collegiate
drafts in past humiliating seasons. This is the year the
Knicks were picked to be top contenders with the
Celtics and the '76ers in the East.
Judging from their play thus far, it seems that
they will have difficulty getting into the playoffs due
to the improved Baltimore Bullets and the exciting
Detroit Pistons. The Knicks are not playing the hust­ling,
full court press, running type of game that Coach
Red Boltzmann had initiated when he took the reins
of the team last year. Instead they have been plagued
with the erratic outside shooting of Dick Barnett, How­ard
Komives, and Walt Flrazier besides a $400,000
backcourtman who attempted three shots from the
floor Saturday night against Detroit. Bill Bradley
seems to be a misfit on this team ; one of the greatest
shooters in the collegiate game, he has assumed the
role of a part-time player sometimes with flashes of
his old time brilliance. Overshadowing this lacka­daisical
play is Willis Reed, one of the coming super
stars of the game who has brought the Knicks as as
far as they have come. .
Cazzie Russell is assuming the status of a real fine
professional player and he has completely made the
adjustment from his collegiate days at Michigan. Walt
Bellamy and Phil Jackson have been inconsistent and
the lack of board strength has contributed greatly to
the Knicks poor showing versus Detroit's Pistons as
Dave Bing, Jim Walker, and Eddie Miles all under
6' 5" drove consistE:ntly to the basket for layups. This
is something they would not even attempt against most
of the front courts in the league.
Walt Bellamy at 6' 10" (taller than Bill Russell
and equally as strong), is possi,ble trade bait, but even
a trade would not help the club at this point. The
Knicks truly have potential but to what degree this
potency develops is how successful their NBA season
will be. They may yet provide a few surprises for their
skeptics over the long grind of the NBA season.
West Haven High School who scored 95 points
two weeks ago scored 72 more this week against An­sonia
in Connecticut schoolboy football ... Less than a
month remains before the Stags open their season at
Stonehill. There th~ Stags embark on a schedule in a
year that could fulfill another chapter in the emerging
power of Fairfield basketball - a post season tourna­ment
berth . . . The Stag has come a long way since
the Tri-State League where it played such "powers"
as Yeshiva, Adelphi, and Wagner to a schedule that
includes some of the top-ranked teams in the <(ountry.

Harriers Finish Best Season
Stag Sextet Rips
Iona in Opener, 4-1
By STEVE DAUR
On Friday November 1st the
Fairfield University Hockey
Club began its first season in
the newly formed Metropolitan
Intercollegiate Hockey League
with a well-earned 4-1 victory.
over the Iona Gaels.
The game, the first of a
twenty game schedule, was
played in the brand new Won­derland
of Ice in Bridgeport.
The Stags wasted little time
before they jumped on the
Gaels' goal. Frosh Defenseman,
Marty Vierling took a pass
from Dave Fulton and fired the
puck past the beleaguered Iona
goaltender at 7:03 of the first
period.
Sybetz A.sals15, Score•
The Stags maintained the
pressure until at 13:40, when
coverted forward Tony Harti­gan
slipped the disk in with as­sists
from Frosh Ted Sybetz
and steady Tony Ducomb. Thir­ty-
nine seconds later Sybetz
ripped the nets with his first
goal of the game. He was as­sisted
by Ducon. ': and another
Freshman Jim Monahan. The
first period ended with Fairfield
in complete command; this was
evident in that the Stag goalie,
Steve Daur, had to make only
one save.
The second period wa.~~ a little
sluggish and was riddled with
penalties. At 12:28 Iona finally
dented the Fairfield defense.
Costello slipped the puck under
the pads of Frosh netminder
Jean Guy LaFlamme with the
aid of Ruckdaschel and Owens.
The Stags then slammed the
door shut at 14:06 when Teddy
Sybetz added his second goal
of the game to close out the
scoring. He again was assisted
by Tony Ducomb.
The third period was a de­fensive
battle and at the final
buzzer the Puck-it boys of
Fairfield were extremely proud
of avenging last year's hor­rendous
11-1 defeat at the
hands of the same Iona team.
Coach Doc McCarthy's charges
will take to the ice Friday
night, November 8th In a home
game against the Jaspers of
Manhattan. Last year's game
was a hard fought 4-4 tie and
;me can be sure that this year's
revival will be just as exciting.

Fairfield's Cross Country
team fi.nished the 1968 season
by putting more victories in the
win column than any other har­rier
team in the school's his­tory.
The team finished with an
impressive 11-2 record, <?bvious­ly
fulfilling Coach Nick Gia­quinto's
pre-season prophesy of
placing "more in the win
column than the lost."
The team took a 9-2 recora
into last week's final meets and
emerged with victories over
New Paltz and New York Tech.
George Train, who crossed the
tape first for the Stags many
times this season. led his team­mates
across the line again but
lost to a New Paltz runner by
a foot. He and the New Paltz
harrier were timed at 26:46
minutes. Close behind were
J ohn O'Rourke and CUrt Ras­ch!
who finished in third and
fourth plac-es. Brian Keefe,
Mark O'Donoghue, and Ira
Davis who finished sixth, eighth
and tenth rounded out the scor­ing
for the Stags to give them·
a 23-33 victory over New
Paltz.

Villanova Suffers 1st
Defeat to Stags, 6·3
By FRANK SANTULLI
The Fairfield Rugby Club
will meet their toughest op­ponent
this Saturday when they
play host to the Columbia Old
Blue, ranked the second best
rugby club in the country. This
past Saturday, Fairfield de­feated
a confident Villa.nova
team as the "A's" won 6-3, and
the "B's" edged the Wildcats by
a score of 11-10.
The Red "A" team played ex­ceptionally
well against a pre­viously
undefeated VIllanova
club. The "A" backs ran fine
movements through the Blue
backfield, as Steve Ryan sprint­ed
across the Villanova goal
with a pass from Tom Crowley,
and Fairfield gained an early
3-Q lead. The Red backs con­tinued
to penetrate the Villan­ova
defense, as most of the
game was played close to the
visitor's goal. In one such
situation near the Villanova
goal, Fatty Maher booted a per­fect
drop kick through the up-rights
for three more Fairfield
points.
Fierce Se.rum Play
Villanova's serum continued
to play fiercely, as the Red
serum matched them in drive
and pursuit, evident In the line­outs
as Jack Zorski came down
with practically every ball,
getting good protection from
Beef Smith and Al Salomone.
The Red serum's ability showed
outside of the line-out also in
the play of Q. Murphy, Billy
Connolly, and Bruce Kiastow.
Villanova finally did manage to
score on a penalty kick from
twenty yards out, as the confi­dent
Blue Ruggers realized their
first loss at the hands of a
superior Fairfield club.
In the "B" game, Fairfield
played with the help of many
"C" players, due to the fact
that Injuries have plagued the
team recently. Despite this
seeming weakness In its person­nel,
the "B's" played good rugby
throughout the match and final·
ly edged the better-equipped
Villanovans by a score of 11-10.
O'NeU Stars
John O'NeU was the leading
scorer for the Red "B" team,
with two trys to his credit on
long runs through the Villanova
backfield. Bear Sweeney then
kicked one point after for two
more points. But Villanova kept
the game close with two trys
and two kicks after to their
credit, leading toward the end
of the match by a score of
10-8.
Fairfield. nevertheless, re­mained
strong in their attack
through the Blue backfield due
in great part to the efforts of
Jack Novero, a famous name in
rugby at Fairfield for many
years. Also, the Red serum
lived up to its reputation with
the efforts of Paul Basirico,
Mondo Flannagan, and Tom
King. Fairfield put the lid on
the game In the closing seconds,
as Alan Perkins passed skillful­ly
to Carl Sachs, giving the
"B's" a one point lead and sub­sequent
defeat of the Villano­vans.
