'lbe suit was filed In U.S. Di­strict
Court In New Haven on
September 28. It wu Instituted
by ftfteen Connecticut residents,
including faculty members from
the University of Connecticut,
Trinity College, Wesleyan Uni­versity,
and the University of
Hartford. They are being assist­ed
in this case by the American
Jewish Congress and the Amer­Ican
Civil Liberties Union.
The suit alleges that federal
construction grants to church­related
colleges and universities
violates the first and fourteenth
amendments of the United
States Constitution with regard
to separation of church and
state.
Though the first bill, an ex­pediency
measure, passed easi­ly,
it was decided that Delta
Sigma Phi's Constitution should
go to ccmmittee. The referen­dwn
proposal was approved
unanimously. This bill will al­low
the student body to vote on
an amendment to the present
(Student Government) Consti­tution
which, if upheld, will re­move
the Administration's veto
power over tbe proposed Con­stitution.
The motion reads as follows:

are: Wilbur J. Cohen, Secre­tary
of the Department of
Health, Education, and Wel­fare;

The Fairfield University Afro-American Society formed last May is devoted to
making the conditions here at Fairfield more livable for black students. This is not
being done only for the seventeen black students presently attending Fairfield but
also to make Fairfield University more attractive to black students in general.
Recently M.r. Charles Fairfax.
'69, noted that the purpose of
the Afro-American in any school
is "to increase the relevance of
the academic sphere of the
black man In white America."
This Includes courses In Afro­American
history, culture, art,
and music, black professors and
more books in the library writ­ten
by black authors.
"This community of Fairfield
University must be more than
classes and athletics," reflected
Mr. Fairfax. "For over 300
years the history and culture of
the black people has been sup­pressed.
A whole segment of
American life and culture has
been ignored. The present Uls
which plague the United States
are based in this practically un­known
history."

area having to do with black
history or culture, better un­CoDUaaecl

last week's Stac editorial on
the future of Catholic educa­tion,

Mr. Fellcetti's basic tbeall ~
warda the tole that McCarthy
has played, and wui continue to
play, on American politics il
one of "a lafety valve on the
left." According to Mr. FeJ.l..
cetti, McCarthy "represents a
legitimate political foree within
American politics. The position
lh;at McCarthy will bold as a
"safety valve" will be one of a
man who "regulates preuure,"
"who il capable of respooding
to demandl,'' and who has in­.
ftuence over the "proc:euea of
chance."
lloOart;by IdeU
. In attemptlng to answer the
question of why McCarthy Is
in such a poaition, Mr. Felicetti
based bil thesis on three major
points: the man himself, his
unique constituency, and hil
unique goals. As reprdl tbe
man, McCarthy hu expreued
a desire to make "polltical pro­ceues
match standards of our
hearts." The McCarthy ideal il
that by leading a good life on
earth. one will be rewarded in
an afterlife.
Mr. Felicetti also cited auch

u "he bas a rood tmaae,"
he il "honest to the nth de­gree,"
be comes over well on
TV, he il "good looking," he
impteuea people u being a
"nice pel'IOD," and be il "dil­tinluilbed."
On the other aide
of the poJttical moat, it il felt
that McCarthy il not atrong
enough to be Prealdent, and
that be il "indecilive," and that
'Civil Disobedience '
To Be Lecture Topic
On Tuesday night. November 19 at 8:30, in the Campua
Center, the Philosophy Academy will eonduct ita seCClUd sesaion of
this year. The guest speaker will be Professor Joseph M. Betz
of Villanova University. Mr. Betz has taught at St. Louil Uni­versity,
Mundelein College, and the University of Cbicago u well
as at Villanova. His areas of special intereat are social and poli­tical
philosophy and American philosophy and letters.
Profeuor Betz will present an
inveatigation of the question:
''CAN CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE
BE JUSTJli'IED!" He will con­cern
himself with such prob­lema
u: Does not juatifying
civil disobedience . amount to
the · foolhe.arty enterprile of
claiming that what is llle,al is
legal?· Is the civil disobedient a
friend or foe of .aciety! of
democracy? of law and order!
Can there be a legally enforce­able
rlcht to dilobey! Can there
be a legally enforceable duty
to dJsobey? Does the considera­tion
"What. if everyone did
that?" provide a te111nr UIU­ment
againlt disobeying the
law! What is the relation be­tween
civll disobedience and
:.nuchy .or rebellion! How
ahould authorities (elected of­ftelall,
mayors, pollee, judges)
handle cuea of civil disobedi­ence
T What mar oae learn of
civil disobedience from the tac­tics,
trlals, and teachings of
Antigone, Socrates, Jefferson,
Thoreau, Gandhi, Bertrand Rua­sell,
Martin Luther King and
others!
After Professor ·Betz has pre­sented
hil forty minute paper,
the dllcuasion will be opened to
the floor; and all those present
will be uked to contribute. The
standing invitation to every one
in the University community
and to all philosophy clubs in
the area to pre.seQt prepared
statements of under ftve. min­utes
will be •the first order of
reply. After the prepared atate­menta
the meeting is open to
those present and reacting.
The entire University com­munity
il encouraged to attend.
All should come prepared to
say SOillething. Althoueh not
everyone had an opportunity to
be doel not "recoucUe bimaelf
to other people." -
CouUtaeuy ol Conld•ce
In reference to tbe followera
of McCarthy, Mr. Felicetti de-scribed
them u a "constituency
of conacience." His active sup.
portera desired "fut cbange,
quick reforms." Also, all the
"life lovina" people apparently
supported the McCarthy cam­pai&
n. But, after McCarthy la.t
the -bid for n<mination, six out
of ten McCarthy support.era
turned to either Wallace or
NixOD.

Acddeatal lutramellt
Mr. Felicetti also gave some
insight into the campaign itself.
McCarthy forcefully declared
that he wu wllllnr to be Presi­dent,
4 '1 think I would be an
adequate President." McCarthy
also saw himself u an "acci­dental
instrwnent" of the
people's wlll. who was bulcally
leading a "children's cruaade,"
via tbe "Magical Mystery Tour."
As regards to mechanics of the
campaign Mr. Felicetti pointed
out the fact that "McCarthy
did not run it, neither did his
campaign manager." The lack
of any bead director, little co­ordination,
and "frayed rela­tions"
among head campaign
offices <like the refuaal of one
office to let another uae its files,
and the California offices and
1he New York offices both doing
the same tblng, and neither
knowing that the other was
doing it), all made for a chaotic
and ineffective campaign.

Where doel McCarthy go

that be believes that Mc-­Carthy
will come back into the
political scene as a spokeaman
for the people's demands and
complaints on the left, and as
a man who can "articulate"
Jthose demands and canplalnts.
McCarthy will conduct hil poJ.l..

New Check Cashing Schedule
By FRANK ARMADA
The Fairfteld University treasurer'a omce wll1 put into effect

The new policy llmlts cheek

to 3:30 p.m. on Mopday,
Wednesday, and Friday. How­ever
from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00

the treasurer's office will be
open for Its other usual buai-ness.

will only be able to cash one

academy thinks they ·have rem­edied
that problem with "their
usual diplomatic verve" without
the need of i'eatrictlng tbe num­ber

The. program tentatively pro­jected
for the rest of the sea­son
is as followa:

check unless he gives a $50 de­posit
to the cashier. "In this
case, only one check for $25
will be cashed per week." A
aecond bad chedc: will revoke
permanently the student's privi­lege.
The limltations have come
about as a result of "a con­siderable
increase ln the vol­ume
of regular business in the
Cashier's Office". Also respon­sible
for these measures is the
llmlted amount of cash the Of­fice
keeps every day and a
number of bad checks cashed
during the put two months.
Mr. Joseph Fraccasia, universi­ty
casbler, also stated that th1s
will speed up the cashing of
checks, since there will be more
cashiers asigned to these speci­al
hours to supply the students'
needs. However, Mr. Fraccasia
also said that if people can not
adjust to the aet-up, alterations
can and will be made.

Griffin Forum Centers On
Coeducation And Parietals
By BOB BURGESS
"Whether or not this will come about, I don't know. There are no definite
plans." This is the manner in which Mr. Robert K. Griffin, Director of Student
Services treated the topic of coeducation during the second of the long awaited
open fo~ums before approximately twenty students.
He went on to say concern- --~----=-------------------
ing coeducation, '"11\ree schools
in the Greenwich-Stamford area
have expressed interest in our
starting a nursing school." Ex­pressing
some reservations, he
went on, "It isn't all that simple.
What about the in1lnnary, the
dining hall or the use of the
already over-crowded gymna­sium?"
When asked as to the
feasibility of a poll on the topic
of coeducation, he answered,
"By the time this (coeduc.ation)
would be implemented the ones
who participated in the poll will
have become alumni."
Fleldboae
evening." The basic question
according to Mr. Gri1fin Is, "Is
the function of the school to
provide the students with a
place to entertain?" He answer­ed
his own question this way,
"I don'·t think it is the school's
duty to provide a place to bring
or entertain girls."
The parietal discussion then
turned to the University's "open
door" policy. Mr. Gri1fin at­tempted
to explain saying, "It
is not in any way intended to
regulate or legislate your mor·
als. I'll be blunt. If you want
to shack up with someone, you
can find a place whether or not
you are horne or here."
RNped P o.IUOD
In order to clarify he went
on, "You owe It to her (the
girl) to respect her position."
When a student expressed the
view that the school was plac­ing
too much importance on the
worst outside opinion of this
subject, he answered, "If I
were catering to the worst pos­stble
opinions, there would be
no new student handbook."
Mr. GrUriD ended the forum
by auwerlll&' the queatlOD:
"What Is the tuncUOD of the
dormitory!" Be aald, "It (the
dormitory) should serve u a
study·leamlnr &rea primarily;
not aa entert&lDIDr area." Be
eollclucled by menUoDIDc that

Concerning a new fteldhouse,
Mr. Gri1fin discussed why there
was little money for such a
project. One reason given was
the rede ction of the size of the
class. of '72. An important fac­tor
due to the shortage of stu·
dents was explained as the rise
in the number of community
college11 and state universities
which can, 1 accordin& to Mr.
Grltfin, "offer an education at
a much reduced rate than we
can."

ence of 1938. In both cases Dr.
Svitak believes that appease­ment
of the aggressors will only
postpone, and not eliminate, the
realization of the aggressor's
aims. He described the invasion
as "open aegresslon of a ereat
power against Its own ally,"
which must provoke the mem­bers
of the Warsaw Pact to
question their possibility of
sovereignty.
Commenting that the United
Nations did "not even make an
attempt to stop it," Dr. Svitak
maintained that the U.N. "ac­cepted
the most brutal violation
of human rights" by not Inter­vening
when the Soviet forces
invaded Czecboslovakia. He also
expects that the initial act of
occupation will "lead to further
acts of aggression."
The Czech educator described
the Soviet Union as a "crimin­al
state" whose leaders are in­competent
to rule without brutal
force. He sees th.e Czech oc­cupation
as the "beginning of
the disintegration of the Soviet
Block." He described Soviet
communism as "fascism ap­proaching
from the left dis­guised
as a revolutionist ideo­logy."
The Czech experiment
was an attempt to bring to­gether
democracy, and social­ism.
Dr. Svitak maintained that
"Socialism is humanistic - or
It is nothing." Thus the Soviet
invasion has shown that Russia
is not a socialistic nation, but
rather one of "state capital­Ism."
Regardless of the Warsaw
Pact Invasion the movement
for human rights Is still alive.
Dr. Svitak feels that "thanks
to Rusian tanks" the movement
within the Czech and Slovak
people is spreading. Due to this
vibrant movement for human
rights, Dr. Svita.k feels that
one of the outcomes of the oc·
cupation might be the "opening
of new frontiers of .freedom,
Crisis
democracy, and hwnanistlc so­cialism."
He is also of the be­lief
that "no other way of fight­ing
the occupational regime Is
possible' than a policy of pas­sive
resistence. As long as the
people resist in a passive man­ner
the secret police wiD be in
check. However, If the people
are not resistent then massive
arrests are imminent.
Dr. Svitak then closed his
remarks with the same ques­tion
that he opened his lecture
with: "Does truth prevail T" A
question that he directs to
"Czechs and Slovaks, and for
you as well."

Officials Explain
New Am.endment
By P. BERNHARDT
CUNNINGHAM
Student Legislature Secre­tary,
Al Mariani, recently com­mented,
"Confusion has erupted
among many student voters
after the recent elections." He
said the amendment to the
amendment to the sixth article
of the present constitution
which was passed by the legis­lators
on October 10, 1968,falled
to appear on the ballot after
the legislature had announced
through Tbe Stag to the· stu­dent
body that "the resolution
will be voted on in a student
referendum to be held In con­junction
with the government
elections."
However, In a post-election
interview with Ron Dukenskl,
chairman of Elections Committ­ee,
he explained that the legis­lators
"jumped to a conclusion
In expecting the referendum to
appear on the ballot. The rea­son
is because of the nature of
a student government precedent
in issuing a referendum."
He explained that in the past
the legislators have issued a
directive which instructs the
elections committee to include
the referendum on a general
elections ballot, or otherwise a
specific time and date they may
prefer It to appear other than
In the general elections.
Mr. Dukenskl said the legisla­tors
simply erred in not follow­Ing
precedent. "Although this
procedure is not contained in
the constitution, the elections
committee does not simply take
it for grarved that the referen­dum
be printed, and on this
basis, It ~as withheld."
Mr. DUienskl also a dded that
the elections committee will
notify The Star when the di­rective
is received, as has been
customery in the past
"The intervening period,"
said Mr. Dukenskl, "will give
the student body more time to
think about the Issue and pass
judgment on thil very contro­versial
step."
President-Elect Nixon,
Hope For A Surprise
Richard Nixon has won the Presidency. And now what? Unit:v?
We sincerely hope so but we find it ironic that the division among
Americans that Mr. Nixon has mentioned so often has never been so
apparent as it was in the results of this election.
From the beginning it was the classic Republican vs. Democrat,
haves vs. have-nots battle. Nixon went hunting for the moderately
wealthy suburbanite and bagged more than his limit while Humphrey
sought, and got, the disenfranchised vote. But the division is ominous.
Humphrey got the black vote, the city vote, the poor white vote,
the young vote and, for the most part, the McCarthy-Kennedy vote.
Nixon, on the other hand, got the businessman's vote, the upper
middle class vote, the suburbanite vote, in a word, the down-the-line
Republican vote.
Where do we go from here? If Mr. Nixon and the "beautiful
people" of this nation forget about their social responsibility, the
real beautiful people may begin to question the blessedness of being
meek. God knows they have cause enough to be disgruntled. From
the inequities of our educational system to the inequities of our tax
system -time rolls -on and the people become impatient with broken
promises and half-hearted attempts to correct the situation.
A substantial cutback in federal spending could be disastrous.
Social Security benefits, aid to higher education, medicare benefits
and community progress programs need to be increased, n-ot de­creased.
It is time to speak out and act in terms of mo.rality not
legality. We may not be legally obliged to help our brother but we
•.re morally obliged, especially those of us who call ourselves Chris­bans.
to help the less fortunate. If we ignore their problems much
longer they may feel a moral obligation to place a stainless steel
blade between our shoulder blades. Christ didn't ask the rabbi to get
ri.d of the buyers and sellers in the temple. He threw them out
h1mself.
Perhaps we sh-ould not pre-judge Mr. Nixon. We all remember
L~~on Johnson, the peace candidate, don't we? Politics is a sur­p~
slng gam;. We owe Mr. ~ixon ~ chance. We can only hope, for
th1s country s sake, that Preaadent N1xon turns out to be a big surprise
- and a pleasant one.
Is Anarchy The Answer?
"I'o the Editor:
There is very definitely a growing
.awareness and concern on the part of
our generation of the ironies and in­justices
in our society. SDS (Students
for a Democratic Society) has taken an
overwhelming stride in coordinating the
fervor and vigor or many very con­cerned
young people to efreet a change
in this society. However, their exuber­ance
has over-stepped the boundaries of
intelligent and constructive thought;
they are degrading our Christian morals
and proceeding in a way directly con­tradictory
to the principles of democracy
in which they supposedly believe. They
naively believe that they have a right
to destroy our present society in hopes
that "something better could arise from
the ashes," with no plan or program
from which we could rebuild.
When Christ instituted His Church
and Christianity on earth, He did it
with an abiding love and faith. Rather
than destroy, with subversion and riots,
the corrupt society with which He had
to contend, He brought about a renewed
spirit of Jove and compassion in others
which permeated the society in which
they lived. In this way, and only in this
way, can a truly etrective change take
place. One must strengthen his convic­tions
and renew his spirit of Jove for
his fellow man. The change must come
from within each person concerned -
his compassion for all men must be
true so ·that others may Jearn from bla
example. In so expressing himself, one
bas a true understanding of the dignity
and rights of all men, and can ftnd a
way to build up his society.
We must not, however, become so in-volved
in a worthwhile cause as to blind
ourselves to reality. SDS, perhaps, did
have something to offer; however, it has
nothing but destruction to offer us now.
It has opened the minds of many people
to the problems facing us. This is an
accomplishment; but, its method of cor­recting
these problems is naught, and
it is a channel for subversive activity in
this country. FBI Director J. Edgar
Hoover has, himself, alleged to Congress
that SDS is "infiltrated by Communist
party members." SDS Is a national or­ganization,
and any individual chapter
which assigns itself the name SDS is
immediately identifying itself with lt.
Yet the group of SDS'ers at Fairfield
claim they are independent of the na­tional
organization. How long can they
guarantee this independence; and wby
call themselves members of SDS at aUT
Therefore, we must learn to think in­telligently
for ourselves and with com­passion;
we must not allow ourselves to
be used as merely a means to an end
by an organization which is undermining
aU respect for law and order - the
basis for any society not in the throes
of anarcby. If the students are truly in
terested in the problems that exist in
our society and educational system, Jet
us examine our convictions and motiva­tions
for change. Let there be a renewal
of spirit and sincerity on the part of
both students and administration to open
up channels of communication and un­derstanding.
Together, with continuing
effort and insight, our spirit ot com­mWlity
can penneate a sad society to
build constructively one which is un­derstanding
and compassionate, and one
in which human dignity is not an ideal
for some, but a reality for aU.
Sincerely,
Tbomu B. Sclmelcler
INTRAMURAL GAMES
or,
.A DUEL TO THE DEATH.
The Bombing
Opening Peace
Stops,
Gates
On Oct-ober 31, President Johnson opened .the gates to peace in
Vietnam when he voluntarily took the step it was inevitable this
nation take some day: the halting of the bombing of North Vietnam.
It is apparent the President badly wants peace in Vietnam be­fore
his term ends, and we hope he succeeds. There is a certain
vanity to the President which drives him on so as not to be known
as a "war president," but it is undeniably true that on the basis of
the two shattering speeches he has made this year (March 31 and
October 31) the image of the President as a man in love with war­making
is undeserved. We hope for a quick end to the struggle, per­haps
through free elections -or a coalition government. We feel the
next step is immediate arrangement of a cease-fire.
And yet in this endeavor our adversaries are more cooperative
than our ally. President Thieu's refusal to participate in the Paris
discussions represents a cynical attempt to secure his own Presidency
and play havoc with ours. It should be clear to anyone regardless of
his attitude to our Vietnam policy that America's mass intervention
there in 1965 saved the country from annihilation. The South Viet­namese
generals, who have profited most, seem to realize this lesson
the least. We think Ambassador Bunker should make it patently
clear to them in the next few days that if it seems America is making
decisions affecting South Vietnam's future, it is because it earned
that right through blood it would now rather save than spill.

GRASS ROOTS
. "ELECI'ION BLUES: A PLETHORA OF SCIDZOPHRENIA".
And now we have reached the end .. of this most confusing,
frightening, and jumbled political year. The month of March in
the state of New Hampshire seems like a dream: distant and dis·
torted by the harsh workings of time. I hazily remember the snow­swept
streets of the city-hamlet of Concord. There was a strange
aura of hope and fantasy that warned our bluish hands as we
distributed leaflets on the gray street comers. Not even the bone­penetrating
wind that howled through this town of smoking chim­neys
and drab factories could numb the belief that in a subtle
way we had been granted a second chance by history. It was a
time to correct our mistakes and revise our attitudes. The citizenry
was unaccountably receptive to ·the convictions of an unknown
senator running for presiden.t. It took the supreme irrationality of
Los Angeles and Chicago to void the promise of change. A per­verse
mixture of assassination and clandestine swindling bad left
us with a non-choice between two elevated bureaucrats. I felt
cheated and ignored: these were the hollow men, echoing one
another's platitudes, beaming like delighted children playing daddy,
and consistently displaylng their lack of either innovation or
ability.
Nonetheless, I was faithfully perched before the television
Tuesday night. Bewildered, fascinated and angry, I was hypno­tized
by the muddled maze of numbers that cluttered the screen
and caused Walter Cronkite to stutter and frown. It seemed ironic
and ludicruous to concern ourselves with these indecipherable fig­ures:
even while votes were being tallied and concessions being
delivered, the chasm that divides this nation was deepening. Nixon's
was a victory void of triumph. A man of the people, yes. He is
cruelly symbolic of the schizophrenia that infects our body politic
like a fungus. He is incapable of projecting a uni:fted personality -
· the old, new and real Nixon are all unacceptable and innocuous
(a living example of a ·tri-partite person). The Elks and Kiwanis
clubs have seized power in America. We will be governed by
pudgy, wrinkled middle-aged men who offer pseudo-solutions that
were invalidated in another era.
His plastic, . porcelain children represent his vision of Amer­ican
youth. They mindlessly recite the proper political credos and
slink back to the suburban womb. Doubtlessly, they are well­endowed
to become the future guardians of the corporate golden
fleece. The beat goes on. Mr. Nixon is irrevocably deemed to
failure. He Is the hodge-podge amalgam of the diverse images of
mid-century Americana, deftly glued together and sent to market
by the bosses and barons via Madison Avenue. 'He is like a balloon
that when punched can only respond by bending or bursting. He
is also our elected leader: a loser resurrected from the past to
plot the future.
How does one refrain from wallowing in the comforts of
cynicism and nihilism in this year of reckoning? I have kept clean
for Gene, attended rallies for O'Dwyer, and passed out propaganda
for parties whose names read like a list of lost causes. I wander
datintlessly from defeat to defeat. Now even the lesser evil has lost.
I wish President Nixon well: his task is awesome. Mightier men
than he would blanch and tremble at the prospects that lurk ahead.
America has chosen her course; may she survive to witness its
conclusion.

Bookstore Criticism
To the Editor:
The archaic management of the Fair­field
University Book Store is a self de­feating
system. The fact that it is run
by a private concession necessitates the
policy of attaining maximum profits, the
burden of which is borne by the stu­dents.
This is evident in the exorbitant
book prices.
Higher price tags are glued over the
publishers• suggested retail value, ap­pearing
on the cover. Although inexoner­able,
theft is assuredly encouraged by
this form or abusive usury.
The lack of a variety of products for
sale is a reason for these high prices.
The sale of records, magazines, and
other such popular commodities could
add to the net gains of the store by
tapping the money now spent in the
stores in town for such items.
We believe that the running of the
Book Store by the Fairfleld University
Student Government would prove to be
a better system. Fairer prices, a more
expanded stock and self interest would
solve many problems. The Student Gov­ernment,
running its own book store,
would be able to control theft and ahu·
sive pnces, and could acquire lucrative
deals with the publishers. Systems exist
in which book companies give Student
Governments books in return for 80%
of the intake from their sale. This would
regulate prices and insure a profit for
the Student Government.
This is the very thing needed to give
our present Student Government its pri­mary
foundation. J;Jy forcing the gov­ernment
to take on real responsibility,
it would foster its mature development.
The profits accrued by this endeavor
would eliminate the need for an activi­ties
fee, thus freeing the Student Gov­ernment
from Administrative control
and the students from a financial burden
by using money they must necessarily
spend.

Questionable Procedure
To the Editor:
Two days before the Homecoming
Weekend the members of the ground
floor of the New Dorm were asked to
give up their rooms for that weekend.
A poll was taken by a member of the
Homecoming Committee and the floor
members were told a majority agreed
to leave. In actuality several members
of the floor had said they would leave
if the majority voted to leave. One mem­ber
of the floor wasn't even asked! With
these votes counted as yes the member
of the Homecoming Committee did get
a majority. Without these votes ·the ma­jority
were opposed. After the members
of the floor found this out they o!Iered
a dift'erent solution to the problem. The
floor members o!Iered to carry beds
from the store room to the first floor so
that the female guests that needed rooms
could sleep three in a room on the first
floor. The Homecoming Committee
agreed to this and asked Fr. Mahan's
pennission. The answer the committee
received was no because of health rea­sons.
The only question I have for Fr.
Mahan is where was he last year when
several hundred students (myself in­cluded)
lived approximately six months
three in a room? The members of the
ground floor did move this time but I
feel there will be a dift'erent attitude
on the floor when Dogwood rolls around
due to the questionable tactics of the
Homecoming Committee. and terrific ar­~
U~Dents of Fr. Mahan.

I think we are in rat's alley
Where the dead men lost their bones
"What we really need today," said the tenth President of
Fairfleld, "is more money. After the completion of the First
Capital Campaign Drive we were looking good and the President
before me, you remember him, he built the Campus Center for
Westport-Weston, had a lot of good Ideas. But we still need more
money, the long green ha ha." The President spoke from the
rostrum of the meeting Cl!-lling to order the businessmen working
on the Second Five Year Plan, The Great Leap Forward.
OUt in ·the audience sat Robert E. Farnsworthy III, Class of
1973 who, having graduated from Fairfield and being idealistic,
joined the Peace Corps. Really seeing it as it was, however, he
joined United Amalgamated Fruit the following year, and went
on to some!low become wealthy doing dirty deeds in Guatemala.
Farnsworthy, however, has a businessman's social conscience. On
the agenda were several possible large scale donations for the
school, a new dormitory, a new humanities center, and a new
chapel. Considering the chapel obviously the most important,
Farnsworthy thought of what his new chapel would be like.
The President rambled on. Something about the business­man's
commitment to education and morality was the topic of the
speech. He also spoke of how the Great Leap Forward could not
fall and that what was really needed was a new computer and a
new chapel. Farnsworthy swept up In a wave of alma mater
patriotism, stood up and proclaimed that he would act as patron
for not only the new chapel but the coxnputer as well.
Farnsworthy figured that It was one good thing to have -the
Church on your side, but if you have the computer too, you have
really got things under ·control. The Church and the business
community were both elated seeing how they did not have to pay
for it. Farnsworthy of course was elated for he had, he thought,
control of the university now and he needed a great number of
new men in Guatemala. Everyone all around was quite happy.
And. so it was to be, the Robert E. Farnsworthy Memorllll
Chapel and Computer Center. On dedication day Fornsworthy was
the hero of the campus. After attending the opening Church cere­monies,
he went downstairs to check on his AT&T prices. Alr:eady
thinking of Farnsworthy University, the idt!a crossed his mind of
a great Northeast tanana curing station. Better yet, he thought
of moving the entire university to Guatemala where the student.c;
could do a little harvesting on the side. Not a bad idea at that,
Farnsworthy thought, and went to ask the President.
And so it was to be, Farnsworthy Guatemala University
steeped in the traditions of the past, with firm roots in New Eng­land
and the American Way. The old complex at Fairfield was
however, maintained as a great Northeast banana curing station
with a computer link to the south. Farnsworthy was delighted,
the President was elated, for he could go, as his predecessor, to
Puerto Rico when he wanted, and the students were happy because
the drinking age was eighteen for many, and for the minority
there was an active revolutfon going on in the hills. Only West­port-
Weston was unhappy for there were tons of bananas in their
Campus Center.
And so it was to be, however, that everyone was happy ex­cept
a few diehards in the community who were constantly quoting
from Eliot something about the condition of Fairfield and the
banana bins. The only problem however, was that they failed to
realize the condition of Fairfield and the bananas was not very
different from the past of 1968, and that when you start mixing
chapels and bananas, or religion a~ business all sorts of C'Vi~
things can happen. Even law suits can come from building grants
from the biggest business of all. So let us hope then that in the
future it will not be necessary to refer to Fairfield as in Eliot:
In this decayed hole among the mountains
In the faint moonlight, the grass is singing
Over the tumbled graves, abut the chapel
There is the empty chapel, only the wings home
It has no windows and the door swings,
Dry bones can harm no one • . .
In a flash of lightning. Then a damp gust
Bringing rain.
My last line has been cenaored by the Editor-in-chief. Free­dom
of the Press!

The CriUC3 Aren't Foolecl by Charly
\\Then Charly premiered In New York almost two months ago,
it was overwhelmingly rejected by the critics, receiving virtually
nothing in the affirmative. Mediocre praise from the ~ally Ne~•:
a second-hand critic from the Tlmea who reacted wtth acerbity.
such a reception, the recurring nightrrtare of producers, should
have been ample proof of the film's failure. But ~harly is a de­ceptive
movie; it has survived contrary to most logtcal stan~rds.
't'he Idea of Charly Is no longer original nor even hypothetical.
First set In a popular short story, it later became a play for TV
and finally a novel (Flowers For Algemon by Daniel Keyes).
It is the proposition that man's Intelligence can be increased, that
his brain can be sharpened, by an operation. It is the story of the
effects on the human, that element involved in the experiment
who is treated so impersonally by the scientists.
Charly (Cliff Robertson) is a happy moron, a Jloor. swe~per
in a bakery. For two years he has been faithfully attendmg mght
school but his progress has been virtually nil. Nevertheless, he is
Chari; Gordon - happy - and of course we feel sorry for him.
But Charly's teacher (Claire Bloom) is attached, "through duty"
we are told, and she sponsors him for the brain operation. It is
successful, of course, and Charly's I.Q. soars. The scientists,
however do not say that the operation is only an experiment. At
this po~t the viewer knows 'the ending but can only guess the
route.
Here is where Charly is most effective or rather, most de­ceptive.
A love affair develops between Charly and the teache.r
which Is the mainstay of the poor film. The cameraman and di­rector
are carried off A-Man-and-a-Woman-style and beyond, but
this doesn't work with the discerning critics. To the ordinary
viewer, however, It does succeed. It looks good: luscious techni­color,
Expo cinematic techniques (the split screen and op mont­age),
many good scenes of Boston where it was photographed,
and music by Ravl Shankar. There are certain ftaws in the use of
each of these which in sum give the film a noticeable awkwardness.
The audience Is willing to accept this in lieu of the love aJfair
(which is actually mawkish) and Cliff Robertson's excellent per­formance.
Director Ralph Nelson also did LUiea of the Field which is a
much better film than Charly. In "Lilies" he worked with sensitive
concepts similar to those inherent in Charly, but he didn't gloss
them up and with an Ineptitude of style to boot.
A black-and-white picture has never been commerdally ac­ceptable.
On this precept Charly was made - with all the trim­mings.
Unfortunately, it seems to be proving the supposition true.

Dynamic Musical Intensity

BEE GEES - IDEA - ATCO SD33-253
The Bee Gees are not a dynamic group in the sense that they exhibit the sort
of dynamism of development that has characterized the mu~ic of Dylan, The Byr~~
Donovan, or any other of t he musicians ~ho have been pnmanly concerned w1t
the crossfertilization of mu.:si:..:c:.:::a::.l_t.:.:e:..:c.h.::::n:::lq..:.:.:.u...:.es..:.:. _______________
They seem to me to be rather
of the nature of '11le Doors,

Young Rascals, in that they
have come up with a particular
sound, and a1-e consistently try­ing
to maintain a certain level
of achievement within the con­fines
of tiaat sound.
Emotional Impact
Thus the dynamism of the
Bee Gees, as of the other
groups, springs not from ex-perimentatlon
but from intensi­ty
of the music itself as createa
by the emotional impact of the
lead singer and by the musical
arangement behind him.
The Bee Gees third album is
exactly the same as their first

not Imply that they demand to
be taken seriously. On the con­trary,
they should be taken
with a "willing auapeulon of
seriousness," that the listener
may purge himself of the senti­ments
which would, I suppose,
get in the way in his everyday
life (e.g. sympathy, love ot
beauty, emotionalism, etc.).
Simple Soap
As in their first two albums,
the best songs are thus the
most simple, the most unabash­edly
sentimental (In the Sum­mer
of His Years, I Started a
Joke, Swan Song). When they
try to speed up the tempo
(Idea), they tend to get run
over by their 32 piece orchestra.
When they sing about neutral
(as opposed to sentimental) top.
ics, they are simply uninterest­Ing
(Air Force, Indian Gin).
I'd like to include a somewhat
practical note: The use of
Chimes in "Swan Song'' is
most disconcerting if you hap­pen
to live in a house with
chimes for the front door. I
answered the door four times
last week before I figured ouc·
what the story was. So much
for the mixing of media and

In summary, the album offers
more of the same. Its achieve­ment
is that it has managed to
make the repetition refreshing.
In one sense, the lack of seri­ousness
referred to above makes
it a timely relief from some of
the more self- conscious art
rock. A nice album.
For those of you who mourn
the death of good folk music
around, pick up on Steve Noon­an

I'll talk a little about Noonan

incidentally, looks to me like its
going to be fantastic. "Rocky
Racoon," "Back in the U.S.S.R.,"
and "Blackbird" all are take
offs on Dylan (for whom, in an
interesting interpretation, "'Hey

During his decade as head
basketbal,l coach at Fairfield
Univerlsty, George Bisacca was
a winner. However, many of his
stem critics refuse to label him
a "big" winner. Such assertions
are ridiculous, though, because
the young athletic director pos­sesses
one great intangible
which marks champions -
character.

Just ' Minutes from c.n,u.
Born and ralsed in southf!m
Connecticut, Bisacca was a
member of the first freshman
class at Fairfield Prep. In high
school, Bisacca played baseball
and basketball before concen­tratin&

at Georgetown University. The
highpoint of his collegiate
career was participating in the
NCAA tournament in his sopho­more
year as the Hoyas posted
a 19-6 log. Bisacca then entered

today he operates his law prac­tice
in Fairfield.
Falrfteld Prep Coach
Blsacca's coaching career also
commenced at Fairfield Prep,
where he produced an enviable
89-32 mark. The ambitious
coach then took over the reigns
of the university's bas'ketball
program vacated by Jim Han­rahan.
Success did not come immedi­ately

mark in the Jesuit school's
young history, posting a 20-5
record. Then, two years later,
Fairfield became a major col­legiate
contender. Hence, Bis­acca
has taken Fairfield from
the base to a respectable plat·
eau in the basketball world.
Yet, many strongly feel he has
been unable to bring the Stags
to the pinnacle of basketball
success - the National Invita­tion
Tournament.
"Denied Unfairly"
The N. I. T.'s refusal to select
the Stags in the 1966 classic
was the greatest disappointment
the school's athletic program
bas digested. "It ranks right up
there," the bespectacled atn­letic
director notes, "as one of
my greatest disappointments. I
wasn't bitter, but most disap­pointed.''
The fiery Fairfield
coach went to the New York
Writer's Luncheon and express­ed
the obstacles his team over­came.
"We were 15-4 after Pat
Burke's death," he reminisces.
"Pat was our big scorer ana
they (opposition) thought we
were dead. We lost only one
game, to Georgetown by two at
the buzzer, the rest of the sea­son.
To me it was a great year
and I felt we were denied un­fairly."
Though George Blsacca is not
a houshold word in the cage
world, it is Incredible to imag­ine
that he took a small men's
college, which emphasizes aca­demics
rather than athletics,
up against the nation's greatest
collegiate powers, producing a
151-87 record. The amiable Bls-

acca modestly says, "I did the
best I could. One should try
to do his best Jn whatever he
attempts. If you do that, you're
a success."
Develop Track Program
Now that the crew-cuttea
Bisacca has retired from the
coaching ranks, he can devote
more time to his athletic direc­torship.
The athletic department
has an adequate number of
basketball scholarships, so Bis­acca
would like to develop the
track and field department. "It's
not expensive," he adds, "be-cause
you only need one athlete
to put you on the map.''
Finally, George Bisacca would
like to see a larger gymnasium
erected on the sprawling New
England campus. "But the ad­ministration,"
he thankfu1l$t
notes, "has been more than gen·
erous and co-operative with our
growth.'' Therefore, lf Mr. Bls­acca
is as successful an athletic
director as he was a coach, one
should expect to see Fairfield
University's athletic department
continue to take great strides
under his excellent leadership.

the shocking 14-5 defeat of the
highly-touted Columbia ruggers.
In the "B" game, Fairfield
took a close loss to the Old
Blue "B's", as the Columbians
edged the Red Ruggers by a
score of 5..0. Columbia mounted
their offense early in the game,
with continual runs against the
Red backfield, but Fairfield
played a tight defensive game,
lead by Alan Perkins and Bob
Trainer. Perkins stopped one
sure Blue try, getting through
four Columbia backs and mak­ing
a tackle to upset the move­ment.

Despite this aggressive play
the "B's" were unable to es­tablish
a strong otrense, as Co­lumbia
took advantage of this
fact and scored on a short run
from the Red serum. Fairfield
continued to play good rugby,
however, with fine efforts in the
serum by Bob Marcavage, Mon­do
Flannagan, and Chris Cadi­gan.

opponents to date, as many of
the Columbia "C'' team is com­posed
of older players whose
knowledge of rugby is great.
Despite this obvious advantage,
the "C's" played a tough game
throughout the match, as backs
Chris Galvan, John Crown, and
Joe Blot displayed their running
ability against an experien~

The Red serum also showed
determination in the play of
Brian Henlon, Barry Baines,
and John Fitzgerald. The Co­lumbians

The otr-campua boarders from
Fairfield Beach stormed into the
League A lead, last week, on
the strength of a scoreless tie
with Gonzaga 2 and a 12-6 vic­tory
over Regis 4. The Beach
now sports a 7-1-1 record and
has clinched first place. ND 2,
G 2, and R 4 can finish no
better than 6-1-2. So, while
those three jockey for play-oft
position, Fairfield Beach waits
in the wings.
In Monday's defensive battle
with Gonzaga 2, it was the
Beach secondary that preserved
the tie. Tom Sweeney and Ed
Beadreault each picked-otr two
erant G 2 passes. The most
crucial interception was turned
in by Doug Asper who made a
leaping grab in the comer of
the end zone to avert a G 2
touchdown. However, G 2 was
not yet quieted and fought back
behind the defensive play of its
secondary, led by Jerry O'Hal­loran's
three interceptions. He
took the last one, with under
five minutes to play, on his own
30, and, weaving his way
through the beach-men, return-ed
it to tbe Beach 2 yard-line
where Ed Beadreault and Greg
Kelly made the game-savin&
stop, as both dove to touch the
cutting O'Halloran.
An unsportsman-like conduct
penalty moved the ball out to
the 10, at which point Bob Gi­usti
applied the crusher , trap­Pin&
G 2's quarterback, Terry
Sacchi, for a 15 yard lou. G 2
was then forced to mount a
goal line stand o! ita own after
Beadreault's second intercep­tion
gave The Beach the ball
on the G 2 20 with a minute
to play.
Beach CllDcbea TUle
The Beach assumed undisput­ed
possession of first place,
clinching the top-spot by vlr­ture
of its 12-6 win over Regis
4, coupled with New Dorm 2's
upset of Gonza&a 2. The losses
were th.e first for Gonzaga 2
and Regis 1, but nonetheleas
were enough to drop them into
a third-place tie, behind the
Beach and upstart ND 2. The
Beach jumped to an early lead
versus Regis 4. Greg Kelly bit
Doug Asper on the 20 with a
short, sideline pass. Asper made
the catch, ducked u nde r

Jack Monahan scored three
goals and was credited with two
assists as Fairfield's streaking
soccer team crushed Monmouth
College, 5-0. Monahan scored all
of his goals in the first half in
the top individual e1fort of this
year's soccer team.
The other two Stag goals
were tallied by John Patavina
in the second quarter and Ro­land
Corbin in the fourth quar­ter.
Goalie Gary Dayon record-ed
his third shutout of the sea­son
and second in a row.
Right halfback Don MCinern­ey
played his best game of the
season both denfesively and of­fensively.
He was all over the
field, continuously harassing
the Hawks' players. The Stags
featured a well balanced de·
fense and a potent otrense. They
have scored eleven points in
their last two games.

Fairfield's record now stands

The Fairfield Judo-Karate
Club was founded last Septem­ber
mainly through the efforts
of John Gagnon. Current of­ficers
are: President - Tom
L e n z o, Treasurer - John
Strauch, Secretary - Joe Des­tefano,
Publicity Chairman -
Mike Garrett, and Faculty Mo­derator
-Rev. Joseph Devine,
S.J.
The club bas thirty members
and presently boasts a Karate
black belt in John Gagnon who,
as the club's chief instructor,
also has a black belt in kendo
and a brown belt in judo. They
also have a karate green ben
in Bob Kosa, a judo yellow
belt in Tom Lenzo, and six
yellow belts, in karate. Last
September the club had only
those belts held by Gagnon and
Kosa. The other belts were
added after rigorous training
which preceded last March's
promotion ceremony.
Program
The members are lining up
several tournaments with other
clubs this year. Competition is
set up in one of two ways;
either the top five members of
each club compete, or an open
competition is held involving as
many members as are inter­ested.
One match is presently
scheduled with Maritime Col­lege.
The club incurs many ex­penses
such as mats, protective
equipment, punching boards,
and tournament fees. They have
run two successful mixers in
the past year and will have a
second annual exhibition some·
time in March in order to raise
expense money. A student gov­ernment
grant is also expected
to help cover expenses.
Anyone interested in joining
the club should contact Tom
Lenzo at Box JJ. All interested
students are welcome.

to quelch any hope of an R 4

earlier turned in an interception
in the end zone, stealing the

Earlier in the week, Regis 4
had defeated New Dorm 3, in
preparation for the Beach
game, by a score of 6..0. Ed
Viola hit Barrett on a sleeper
pass for the lone tally. New
Dorm 2 moved into secona

R 4 with victories over Gonzaga

The staggering otrense of ND

quarterback, Ozzie Pisar­ri.
He hit Paul CUtler with two
TD passes, covering 15 and 20

game. Tom Mullaney threw the
other, on the halfback option,
to CUtler for his third TD of
the game, covering 30 yards, to
complete the 18-0 rout of G 1.
Upset-minded, New Dorm 2
then entered the contest ' with
Gonzaga 2, at the time unde­feated
and coming off the score­less
tie with Fairfield Beach.
Billy Martins made a sensa­tional

By FRANK SANTULLI
The Fairfield Rugby Club
ended its regular season last
Saturday scoring a s~
upset of Columbia Old Blue,
14-5 in the "A" game, han~
Columbia Its first loss In 29
games. Fairfield's "A'' team has
now won 12 out of its last 13
games, scoring 134 p o i n t s
against their opponents and
giving up only three trys th1l
season. The team goes to Wor­cester,
Mass, this coming Satur­day
to play In the Eastern Col­legiate
Rugby Tournament, In
which the best college teams In
the East compete for the cham­pionahlp
title.
The Columbia Old Blue Rug·
by Club is ranked as the third
best rugby club In the United
States, and best In the East.
The Old Blue has toured the
British Isles, returning with a
winning record. and also, has
beaten the New Zealand All
Blacks, rated as the best rugby
club in the world. The person­nel
of the Old Blue is drawn
from the graduates of the best
colleges and universities In the
East, and the Columbians have
won the Eastern Rugby Cham·
pionships in Virginia twice. Any
European club which tours the
United States schedules the
Old Blue as a "must foe," and
the Columblans have played
host 1o some of the best rugby
clubs In EnglllJld.
Blues Score Ftnt
In the "A" game, Columbia
started strong with many good
runs and excellent serum play,
scoring a try on a serum close
to the Fairfield goal. Fairfield
battled them throughout the
first half, but the Old Blue held
on to a 5-0 lead at the half.
The second half of the match
saw the Red team mounting
their offense against the Co­lubians,
as Bill Garrity scored
the first Red try on an impres­sive
movement by the Red back­field.
Steve Carre was next to
score on one of the longest runs
of the season, skillfully out­running
the highly-rated Old
Blue backfleld.
Ryan Scores
Fairfield's backs continued tO
threaten the Blue goal, with
outstanding play by Pat Burke
and Fatty Maher, as Steve
Ryan scored the third try on
a long run down the side-line.
The Red serum continued to
pursue the ball throughout the
game, as Tom Krenn, Bill Conol­ly
and Bruce Klastow displayed
the hustle which has given
Fairfield its best season since
the inception of the Club In
1963.

The second period was all
Jimmy Monahan. He scored two

second goal. At 2:05 Monahan
beat the Manhattan goalie after
taking a pass from Tony Du­comb.
At 8:10 he came back

second goal at 12:12 with an
assist from Monahan. Through
the first two periods there were
only six shots on the Fairfield
goal.
Manhattaa Score.
The third period was a re­peat
of the second. Monahan got
his "Hat-Trick" at 1:13 when
he scored an unassisted goal
after picking up a loose puck
about ftfteen feet from the
Manhattan goal and simply beat
the netmender with a good
fake. Manhattan, after playing
questionable hockey, did get
their only goal. It, like their
play, was of the rather easy
type. Jim Villamagna was just
able to get the puck past the
S t a g goaltender, Guy La­Flamme,
who came up with
some good stops during the per­iod
after taking over from
starter Steve Daur. VWamagna
was assisted by Falvey and
Gerard, at 7:53.

The phrase "victorious in de­feat"
has been applied too many
times to describe the efforts ot
a defeated underdog against a
J1lOre powerful foe, but the gal­
«mt battle put up by the Fair­field_
Fotball Club, Saturday be·
fore yielding to Iona, 7-0, was
more than enough to merit
using the description.

The moment of truth for
Fairfield came with less than
ten minutes left in the contest.
Bill Sulik set up the Stag's
scoring shot with a fumble re­covery
deep in Iona territory.
A pass from Schultz to MurphY
gave Fairfield a first down at
the 10, and Fred and Rich
Gaeta ripped otr two hard runs
to leave the ball nestling against
the goal line.
Oruclal Play
In the crucial play of the
game, Schultz called a quarter­back
sneak on a quick count
and the right side of the Fair­field
line jumped offsides to put
the ball back five yards. From
the 5, Schultz tried passes to
Muller and Piazza, but the
Iona coverage was faultless ana
the Gaels took over on downs
with 5 :30 left.
The Falrfteld defense, magni­ficent
all day, forced a punt,
which Muller gathered in at the
40 with 3 :38 remaining. Schultz
flipped a screen to Ed Journal­ist,
who scampered down the
left sideline to give Fairfield a
first down at the 14 with 3:04
left. Iona then rose to the
threat and a jarring blitz sep­arated
Schultz from the ball,
with Iona recovering it.
Deteue Ulll'elentlag
The Stag defense remained
unrelenting and Muller again
took a punt on the 40 with time
slipping away. A desperation
pass to Piazza was Incomplete
and the clock ran out on the
Stag's threat to give the Gaels
a slender, one-touchdown win.
