Ad Hoc Committee
The nursing proposal was ac­cepted
following the recom­mendation
of an ad hoc faculty
committee, which has been
working with Dr. John A Bar­one,
vice-president for Planning.
This favorable motion was
based on meetings with numer­ous
c oil e g e administrators,
members of professional and
accrediting associations, hospi­tal
administrators and members
of the medical profession.
Consideration of the question
of co-education began in the
University community two years
ago. Following a consensus rec­ommendation
by faculty and
students, the University's Board
of Trustees issued a statement
in May, 1967 endorsing the prin­ciple
of joint education of men
and women and recommendi·ng
that the administration seek a
coordinate women's college to
join with Fairfield.
No ApMmeDt
During the past year mem­bers
of the administration have
visited numerous women's col­leges
to investigate all possible
alternatives to the co-education
question. Over 50 meetings
were held during this time with
four · colleges receiving activ~
consideration; however, these
efforts proved to be unsuccess­ful
when feasible agreements
could not be reached.
The degree nursing program
was undertaken due to a rising
need for qualified nurses who

Although only 28 years old,
Mr. Bond is seen by many as
a symbol of the three main cur­rents
of change in the country
- the civil rights, peace and
youth movements. His name
was put into nomination as
Vice-President at the conven­tion

after a few states had
voted because he fell seven
years short of the legal age for
that office.

Conservative congressmen ex­pecting

Nun~ Needs
This ever increasing need for
degree nurses has been intensi­fied
by the continual sophistica­tion
of medicine, by the multi­plication
of social and communi­ty
problems associated with
better J¥dical care for all
citizens, by the expansion of
research programs, by the
demands for competent person­nel
prepared to assume super­visory
roles in hospital adminis­tration,
and by the existing void
of qualified faculty members
for nursing programs.
Dr. Barone pointed out that
at present there are only three
baccalaureate nursing programs
in the state and they are not
able to till the future need for
college trained nurses.
He went on to say that "at
this time one major hospital in
the state can promise to employ
every degree graduate in next
year's aggregate commencement
class of nurses. The probll';n
today is serious; tomorrow it
will be overbearin~."
"We have designed our prob­lem
to alleviate this deficiency
for college trained nursing per­sonnel
who are capable of deal­ing
with the increasingly com­plex
problems of medical care,
community relations, and hospi­tal
administration," explained
the vice-president.
This cooperative venture will
provide a program of substan­tial
academic value as well as
sound medical and pragmatic
preparation.
Arrangements with regard to
curriculum, clinical programS
and general degree require­ments
will be worked out by
the appropriate faeulty com­mittees
and depax:tments of the
University and representatives
of the cooperating hospitals.
The administrators of these
hospitals will also assist in the
recruiting and placement of
students.

SDS Discussion
By .JOSEPH GEBIO
The Knights of Columbus recently sponsored a
meeting at whieh two members of the Students for a
Democratic Society, Kevin Ke-lley and Bob Ellis, dis­cussed
the goals of SDS at Fairfield. They also consid­ered
the incidents at Chicago and Columbia.
Kevin Kelley sald there are
no specific goals, since SDS is
not an ideological group, but a
general protest against the sys­tem.
Action would be taken by
SDS if and when the need
arises. One problem SDS is con­cerned
with is the redistribu­tion
of wealth in America. No
plans have been made as to a
method of redistribution, but
the welfare system would be
rejected because of its "obvious
ineffectiveness."
One fallure of the SDS, Mr.
Kelley felt, is a lack of contact
with labor, partly because it is
concentrated on campus, partly
because labor has achieved Its
goals and does not look for
Suggests
Changes
the last issue of 'l'be Sta&', Mr.
Kelley replied that, "Mr. Howe
gave a general outline of the
most blatant needs for academic
reform such as the required
courses which are forced down
your throat." He continued
saying that, "in the Academic
Forum we can go into specifics
of course curriculum. We are
trying to make the curriculum
of the student's major more
relevant tO him."
Mr. Kelley noted that be is
in the process of compiling data
on course curriculum of other
institutions. He hopes to make
"some concrete proposals be­fore
Christmas." Dr. Rosivach,
professor of classics, "is pre­paring
a faculty viewpoint" on
course curriculum changes and
Mr. K~lley stated, "We will
consult with him on our pro­posals."
Mr. Kelley stressed the fact
that the curriculum changes
have been proposed for the last
two years wihtout a great deal
of success. New ideas and sug­gestions
are needed. Kevin
Kelley can be contacted through
Box 819 in the Campus Center.
new plans, and is not concerned
with social justice. Thus SDS
wants to convince the upper
middle class that, "It is to their
benefit to let others have mo­ney."
Here is another fallure,
seen through the fear of the
white backlash vote for Wal­lace.

of SDS. It began with
the league for Industrial Democ­racy,
which bad recently ex­panded

After working in the League
for two years, SDS split be­cause
of dissatisfaction with the
system. SDS was then a mod·
erate group, working for John­son
and civil rights. It became
militant becauae it was "forced
to." Johnson went from "peace
candidate to hawk," and after
working on the local level, they
found they were either being
duped by the men they worked
for, or the people didn't want
these men in office. Seeing the
faults in the system - seniority
rule in Congress, where old
men who really don't know
what's happening control im­portant
committees; ghettoes;
Vietnam - SDS felt it bad to
work outside the system.

Students Support
Consumer Boycott
By PETER IIEABN
Since the belinning of this
week, the students of Fairfield
University have been picketing
at local food stores. This action
is being carried out to support
the consumer boycott of the
United Farmworkers Organizing
Committee's {AFL-CIO). which
is trying to lift the migrant
farmworkers of California out of
poverty by providing them with
the option of unionization. The
picketing is aimed at coercing
the large food chains to cease
the sale cf California table
grapes and to convince custom­ers,
not only to refrain from
purchasing such grapes, but to
refuse their business to these
stores.
BecoplUOD. Befuaed
The movement began in Sep­tember
1965 when the Union,
organized by a migrant worker
named Caesar Chavez, struck
the grape growers of Delano
California. This job action was
precipitated by the growers re­peated
refusals to discuss recog­nition
of a farm worers union.
The growers knew that they
were secure in their refusal,
since even though the union re­presented
a clear majority of
the workers, it could not take
advantage of the election pro­cedures
under the National
Labor Relations Act because
this act specifically excludes
agricultural workers from cov­erage.
Largely as a result of this ex­c
1 u s i o n, California migrant
workers are among the most
poverty stricken groups in
America's working force. Aver­age
annual earnings for adult
male workers in 1965 were
$1,918.00 (For families approx.
$3,000.00) Their life expectancy
is 49 years. Death and disease
rates are far bieber than the
national dverage:
% bJcher thaD Datloaal rate
Infant mortality 125%
Maternal mortality 125%
Influenza and pneumonia 200%
TB and other infectious
diseases
Accidents
Sale• Beducttoa
It is hoped that the boycott
will cause a drastic reduction in
sales and thus force the farm
owners to permltt elections
which will determine whether
the workers are represented by
Chavez's union, another union,
or no union at all.
The UFWOC already has won
nine contracts, mostly with wine
grape growers. These victories
are due more to the success of
consumer boycotts than to the
pressure of the strike. Provis­ions
of the nine contracts:
raised wages; provided griev­ance
procedures; and provosion
for overtime pay, job security,
rest periods, health insurance,
holidays and vacations with pay
and other benefits. All con­tracts
include NO STRIKE
clauses.
Due to the continued r esis­tence
ot large growers of table
grapes, the nation wide boy­cott
has been focused solely
agalnst them.
Anyone interested in contrib­uting
time or funds to the boy­cott
are urged to call 1-322-5549
or to contact Peter Hearn, box

Student Rights vs. 'Tripartite ism': Either, Or?
By .Jamea .J. Ruane, ''71, Amendment Bill Proponent
"Students should have the power
of self-detennination over their
private lives and the conduct of
their own eroup.llving"
Lewla B. Mayhew, President
American ANoclatlon for
H!gher Education (as quoted
In Time Magadne)
nus statement by one of the foremost educators in America succintly sum­marizes
the rationale for the events occuring in the Student Legislature in the
past weeks, especially in regard to the proposed amendment to Article VI of the
present Student Association Constitution. Often in public and in private the pro­ponents
of this amendment have been castlgaed as: "rash", "refusing the responsi­bility
that comes with power'', "illogical", and "the proponents of unconstitutional
procedure". These terms a.re grossly inaccurate; they seek to cloud the issue with
emotional verbalisms. I hope that the following will help clear the air of any mis­conceptions.
In brief, the amendment calls for the striking of the phrase. "They (future
constitutions) must then be recommended by the Dean of the College to the Presi­dent
of the University", and the subsequnt wording "Upon approval of the Presi­dent".
In no way does this amendment infringe upon the functions of the Student
Government. Rather, it serves to increase the power and the intluence of the
Government.
The key to this controversy is the question of the nature of the Government.
Until recently, the Government appeared to consider itself as the voice of the
student association on the matters directly concerning them. It possessed the
power of mere "recommendation" to the Administration on the opinions, thoughts
and grievances of the student body. Many interested students have attempted to
change this concept by actively confronting the Government, as in the recent dress
controversy. Now they are attempting this change through entirely legal means.
Such a reversion from extra-governmental to intra-governmental action must be
commended.
Co-existent with the nature of the Government was the nature of its Consti­tution.
Since it had no rw power to decide effectively in its own realm, the Con­stitution
became a handbook of committees and rules of procedure. It took no new
directions as to the rights of the stude.nts; it remained a novelty surpassed only by
Robert's Rules.
The nature of the Government (i.e. the Legislature) has changed. It 1& giving
"a just representation in the affairs of the designated government of that com­munity."
The majority of the legislators feel that the student should have the
abillty to influence these decisions that directly concern him. Parietal hours, dress
regulations and such do not affect the Administration as much as they affect the
students. For the Administration they are social safeguards, based on the as­Jumption
that the Fairfield student is immature. By passage of the amendment (and ·
the subsequent adoption of the Constitution intact, devoid of meaningful change by
the Administration), the student does have the ability to choose the codes that
affect his life on this campus. They are the rights granted to him by his parents
when they allowed their son to live away from home. Indeed, they are the rights
basic to man's nature. For the Administration to usurp these rights, or to dismiss
them for their own protection as an institution is contrary to their oft-quoted
phrase "in loco parentis''. Rather, they assume the character of "in loco del".
The op~nents of this amendment will state two objections: first, that the
amendment breaks a contract with the Administration, and second, a student con­ititution
without the approval of the Administration is valueless. I cannot empha­size
enough that a contract must be between equals. The Ad.nllnistration and the
Faculty dictate the policy of their respective segments. Let us dictate ours. They
determine the range of their powers and the proper use of such power. Let us do
likewise. Let us decide on the matters concerning the student, giving ample con­sideration
to the opinions of the Faculty and the Administration. Then may we
turn our attention to the matters which involve the other segments of the Uni­versity.
To 'say that a constitution is invalid because of the lack of Administration ap.

By .James R. Cunningham, '69
Minority Leader - Student Legialature, Chalnnan - Flnanclal Committee
In our discussions concerning the proposed amendment to Article Six of the
Student Government Constitution, I believe it helpful to remove all irrational
emotionalism and attempt to get to the basic realities involved. Simply, the facts
of the issue revolve around three major considerations.
1. The passage or rejection of the amendment is a vote against or for the
spirit of "tri-partiteism" here at Fairfield. The basic thrust of the past and present
Government administrations has been and still is toward this highly worthwhile
goal of integrating all three spheres of our university into a united front of
comon action, based upon mutual understanding with the rights of all considered.
Only if we are willing to reason together about the great problems facing this
campus can serious and effective results accrue. Our major success can occur only
if decisions are implemented in a real way, concretely and seriously, and this comes
from action taken trilaterally, not simply unilaterally by either the student body or
the administration. Singular action by any side leads ultimately to an undesirable
confrontation in which neither side is the winner.
2. It must be remembered that Article Six of the present Constitution gives
the administration the power to approve or reject only future, new constitutions
and by-laws. The latter by-laws are a total obsolesence, since no useful govern­mental
constitution uses them, as they are r eserved for orgaizational characters
primarily. Thus, in reality we are speaking about only new constitutions as re­quiring
administrative approval.
It is the very nature of a constitution that it is never unilateral, since it is
made between the students, who possess a cerain degree of power, and the adminis­tration,
who also have power with the attendant right to exercise it. Our present
Constitution was freely agreed to with this fact in mind, with this fact clearlY
stated in Article Six. We display a rather gross lack of honesty and sincerity by
attempting to abrogate singularly what is in essence a pluralistic document.
Again, let us be reminded that the approval called for in the presently binding
Article Six refers only to new constitutions and does not even mention the ordinary
acts of the Government: acts, bills or decrees. All these actions are not placed
under the finalization of the administration, either explicitly or implicitly.
3. We must finally wake up to the reality of the situation. We do not have
the power to force the administration to accept our breach of contract by the
pasage of a piece of paper with so mariy words written upon it. Further, we have
even less power in trying to enforce our unilateral decrees, once passed, and in
making them real in the lives of students. We are not the only group at this
university, The two other branches, which are vitally important, have equal rights;
rights which must be protected if all of us are to be truly, justly and fairly treated
by the others. The presentation of a 'fait accompli' to any segment of our com­munity
is the apotheosis of injustice, frustration and hopelessness.
In closing, let me urge all students to think seriously about the proposed con­stitutional
amendment, because it is of very great importance for the very real,
daily lives of all of us. Blatant emotional.ism, sweeping generalities and the band­wagon
psychology of trying to win empty facades of victory by throwing this
amendment up in the face of the administration simply for the sake of doing so,
have no place in a mature decision. The best method of success in the effort of
all of us to radically affect policy in a real way is the spirit of mutually benevo­lent
"tri-partiteism", which is best served by voting NO on the proposed consti­tutional
amendment to Article Six of the Student Government Constitution.
proval is to assent to a hierarchical structure of the University, with the Adminis­tration
at the peak, followed by the Faculty, and then the Students. To ask for
approval is to admit that the students are of least concern- second to the good name
of the University and the well-being of the Faculty. This cannot be accepted. If
the Students do not recognize themselves as the most important segment of the
University, do they expect the Administration to do so?
I exhort the members of the Student Association to vote "yes" on the amend­me.

time that we learned to charter our own course?

The student legislature convened recently to tackle a lengthy agenda which
included the ratification of the Tri-partite Universitv Council. passed after iengthy
debate.
The meeting began with a
financial report by Treasurer
Thomas Mannion, who revealed
that the balance In the treasury,
as of Nov. 15th is $5,500, after
total disbursements totaling al­most
twice that amount.

Before consideration of the
agenda, President Phlllp Howe
a.ddresed the representatives to
urge "the Immediate adoption

that "only sUghtJy over 60% of

with a concert in Gonzaga Auditorium a t 3 :00 p.m. Under the artistic direction of
Mr. Simon Harak, this year's Glee Club will combine tb.eir talents with the Saint
Joseph College Chorale of West Hartfor d, Connecticut, for this opening concert.
Among the numbers which
the Fairfield University Glee
Club will perform includes
something for everyone's music­al
taste. Numbers will range
from "Marne" and "Camelot"
to the rousing "Battle Hymn
of the Republic' 'and "The Men
in Red." Spirituals and religious
numbers such as "Alleluia" and
"Set Down Servant" or the
"Last Words of David" are al·
ways well received.
Light Note
Adding a light note to the
concert will be performances
by the Campus Minstrels and
Bensonians. The Campus Min·
strels are show-stoppers in
every sense of the word. Com·
posed of 14 members from the
club, their zany antics will add
that certain something which
has made them a traditional
part of concerts. The Bensoni­ans'
delightful harmony with a
collegiate tlair will further aug­ment
the program 'with barber­shop
style, lyric surprises, and
fresh Interpretations.
The Saint Joseph College
Chorale under the direction of
Dr. Elmer M. Hintz will per­fonn
such numbers as "Waters
Ripple and Flow," "See the
Gipsies" and '"11le Sleep That
Flits a Baby's Eye." Their spe­cialty
group, the Saint Joseph
College Sextette, will pertonn
"Bits of Broadway."
The combined clubs will sing
'"11le Omnipotence" and "Gon­na
Build A Mountain."
A capacl1y audience is ex-pected
when the AmbassadoN
of Song commence their twenty­second
season. Students as well
as their parents and friends are
cordially invited to attend this
free concert - a Sunday after­noon
of musical enjoyment is
promised.
This year the club will per­form
approximately 13 concerts,
and for the first time will travel
to the midwest for engagements
in Detroit and Chicago. Most of
the other performances of the
club will be given in the Con­necticut,
Massachusetts, and
New York areas.

Security Story
By COLIN KILEY
"Completely slanted," was the comment given by
Mr. Arno Zeyn, Director of Operations at Fairfield in
regards to an article in the Sunday Herald which ;aid
"Former New ~aven Police Chief Francis V. McManus
may come o ~t of retireme.nt to hea:d up the newly­created
security staff at Fairfield Umversity."
Mr. Donahue, Vice-President
of University Relations concur­red
saying that "the story had
no basis at all. Fairfield Univer­sity
has not made any arrange­ments
with Mr. McManus to
head this position, nor had it
been decided that there would
be such a position."
Security Division
"McManus," the Herald ar­ticle
continued, "has been of­fered
the job at the J esuit
school and has been aiding uni-versity
officials in setting up a
drawing board for the proposed
security division."
It went on to say that "the
former police chief, who retired
last March as head of the New
Haven department, will serve
as a consultant in establishing
the Fairfield U. security force
and will head that unit."

The Intrenational Brigade is getting on the train.
Two men, both dressed alike, one behind a large desk, the
other leaning on the opposite wall, looked out the large window at
the pouring rain. The man behind the d~k spoke first
"The weather, it is bad."
"Yes, this is so," spoke the other man. "Things do not go well
with us this year. The populace of the city is ~ at us. They
say that we, Alfonso, are repressive. They do not like our leader,
Pablo, they scream for reforms."
''1bis is so, my brother," spoke Alfonso.
The phone rang and Alfonso picked it up, "Hello, yes, ~ello
Pablo, yes Pablo, yes, I know Pablo, but .... Yes Pablo, Goodby
Pablo." Alfonso was quiet for a long tUne, then he ftnal.ly spoke,
''1bings they do not go well with Pablo. Things, my brother, do
not go well with us. Things, they do not go well at all. The forces
ot the Bureaucratinalles are at the gates of the city. They have
united forces with the Insurrectionalles inside of the city. We are
doomed. The Bureaucratinalles bring many papers and men who
read the books of law. They say that we have done too much
business with the Federalles in the capital. They say that we do
not own our city, Roberto. They have promised the Insurrection­alles
in the populace the reforms that they desire. They both say
that we must be thrown from power. Civil War, it is a bad thing."
''nlis is so, my brother." spoke Roberto. "Do you bear the
city chimes? The bell I think that it tolls for me, it tolls for all of
Ul."
The phone rang again and after a long conversation Alfonso
placed the phone on the receiver. Looking quite dejected, he again
glanced out of the window and spoke.
''1be weather, it is bad still. Pablo, he bas the fear."
"On no, my brother, this is too much of a burden to bear,"
replied Roberto and continued, "Alfonso, I think I, too, have the
tear."
"Yes Roberto, but that is not the worst of it. The Insurrection­alles
now control the lower city and the Bureaucratinalles are
besieging the fortress on the bill. How horrible this is. I remem­ber
when Pablo was the friend of the Insurrectionalles and prom­ised
them many reforms. I remember when be was the friend of
the Bureaucratinalles and feasted them at the ll Progresso ban­quet.
I remember when be was the friend of the Federalles and
received money from them. He even treated the Insurrectionalles
as in place of a father. Roberto, do you remember this man?
Pablo is no longer he. Pablo, be bas the fear. The govemment
bas collapsed. We have been instructed to flee to the fortress city
of Wooster, with all of our possessions but with none of those of
the Federalles."
"But what of our leader Pablo?" spoke Roberto.
"He is a prisoner, my brother." said Alfonso.
"Oh no, replied Roberto, "is be the prisoner of the Insurrec­tionalles
or of the Bureaucrationalles?"
"Neither my brother, spoke Alfonso, Pablo is the prisoner of
the Anarchistinalles. He is being held captive in his own office.
They have, it seems, sat in. They say that they do not want Pablo
to ftee and they do not want him to stay."
"What of the Anarcbistinalles, Alfonso? I do not understand
them."
"They are of a bad sort my brother. They do not like the
Federalles. They do not like the Bureaucratinalles. They do not
like us. They do not like each other. They cannot decide who is
worse, the Federalles or the Bureaucratinalles. They do not want
either o! them to govern the city, and they do not want to govern
it themselves. They say that they want the Insurrectionalles to
govern themselves, and this is why they are called the Anarcbis­tinalles,
I think."
"Yes my brother," said Roberto, "but we must ftee. Things,
they do not go well with us. With Pablo things do not go well
either. He has the fear and the weather it is bad. Let us flee.

Patrissi, Wohlers Receive
Psychology Fellowships
By PATRICK IL LONG
ltllalla&1nc EcUtor
Fairfield University students Geoffrey Patrissi and John Wohlers have been
awarded two of the ten fellowships which the New England Psychological As­sociation
gives annually to those undergraduates in the New England area who
have shown a superior interest and knowledge in psychology.
Each college and university
in New England is permitted to
nominate two students for the
fellowship. From these many
nominationa ten students are
selected.
This year Fair6eld Univer·
sity had the honor of having
both its nominees being named
Fellowship recipients.
A.Dnaal OOilveaUoa
The New England Psycho­logical
Association, the rerfonal
branch of the American Psy­chological
Association, holds an
annual Thanksgiving convention
at which papers are presented
and the te.n honorary fellow·
ships are awarded.
Although no pecuniary re­ward
or scholarship is coneeted
with this honorary fellowsh\p,
it is a recognition by a croup
of professional psychologists of
a s t u d e n t ' a undergraduate
acbievem~tac and o! the poten­tial
for future work in tbe fteld
of ps~chology.
Unique Prorram
\
Fairfield has a unique physio­logical
program; in fact, it is so
innovative that it is not even
found on most graduate levela
o! study. The program utilizes
an advanced laboratory proced­ure
which enables the student
to learn and perfonn the rudi·
ments of basic neurosurgical ex­periments
on rats and other
laboratory animals.

"JoiD the Army If you loee "
Almost 3 weeks ago I checked my mailbox before leaving
school. In it was propaganda from the Anny ROTC. They wanted
me; I was flattered. In fact I was so flattered I wanted to bum It
immediately but my better judgment got hold of me and I de­cided
to wa'lt until I got home. Some friends were coming over
ttlat night and I thought having a burning might be fun and ap­propriately
sacrilegious; It was Halloween. But by the time. I'd
gotten home I'd forgotten about the brochure and my origmal
intentions. I have not been able, however, to forget what tht!
brochure said.
The pamphlet began, "'l1le U.S. Army knows leaders are
made, not born." Whether intentional on the anny•s part or not,
this sentence sounds rather Sartrian. Jean Paul Sartre, French
eldstentialist philosopher, talks about basically the same idea of
self-realization, yet in much more confused terms and with no
desire to be elitist. He too feels that after birth man is nothing
more than what he makes of himself. Philosophically, Sartre be­gins
with a universe of nothingness. Out of all this nothingness
man is the only thing that is able to deftne its being. Man is able
to create his essence because he has the essential, ultimate, and
ftnal freedom of being able to say no to nothingness; to Sartre
freedom is the touchstone of all human dignity. When man says
no to the nothingness of the universe, he begins to realize himself.
Man makes something of his life by deciding to disassosiate him­self
from nothingness. In short, Sartre feels man gets out of lite
what he responsibly puts into it.
· Sartre and the United States Anny. Somehow coupling these
two because of similarity In statement goes well beyond the tradi­tional
bounds of fate, strange bedfellows, and all that other gib­berish.
lb' seeing their persuasions in action, the Anny presently
in Vietnkm, and Sartre a few years back condemning their pres­ence
In Vietnam, it Is easy to see that somewhere In their verbal
likeness there lies a fundamental fraud. My guess would be it
lies with the Army.
Wh~n Sartre talks about man creating value In his life
through making decisions, he is talking about a continual process.
He realizes that as man becomes a man through deciding, each
decision he makes becomes more Important. He acknowledges
that man cannot a1ford to stop deciding for himself. The Army,
on the other hand, by Its very nature demand'~ that a man, .rter
deciding to enter its ranks, suspend the decialcm-members. Sartre
does not believe In collective genius, and thereby would brand
this kind of existence as living In ba4 faith.
Many, however, probably cll.sagree with me violently about
the above paragraph, and would like to have me court martialed
for having written it. They defend their posltien by insisting that
a lack of deciaion-maklng opportunities may be the case when
one is a private, but Is certainly not true when one Is an officer.
After all, they claim, officers are the "ones" who have to decide
not only for themselves, but for all the men they command; tlili.
Is more responsibility than any pointy-headed, Communist, atheist,
french philosopher would ever dare to uaume. And on this point
I would have to agree.
For one, Sartre would never want to have any part of a
killing machine, no matter how far reaching his clecisions as a
killer might be. The thrust of Sartrlan philosophy Is a humani­tarian,
not a predatory one. When the army put In Its pamphlet
that "The training Is specifically designed to place candidates
under beayy physical, mental, and emotional pressures of simul­ated
war conditions," it seems to me, from Its past record, that
it Is telling the truth. The Army says Its training is designed to
teach a man how to ftght and kill Of course they explain away
the.ir actions and existence under the guise of preserving world
peace, but this should fool no one. To "kill for peace" destroys
the sense and beauty cf peace.
Secondly, Sartre would deny that the decisions made by a
commander of a platoon are actually his. The brochure explains
that once one enters Officers' Training he is aubject to a ten month
training program. 'nle first eight weeks are basic combat tramtng.
The nine weeks that follow are some kind of advanced training.
The remainder of the ten months Is naturally .supposed to asaum~
a much higher level of education. whatever that means In tbe
army. All of which evidence, that once a candidate enters, his
mind becomes army property tor ten months. This length of time
allows those In charge of indoctrination to do their job thoroughly
in demonstrating to the candidate what ia "right" and thereby
what he should do. After this ten month ordeal, nobody's mind
can remain completely his own. Sartre would prefer keeping his
own mind, even at the expense of power.
But then again, many army devotees would rejoin that being
an officer in the United States Army has its advantages. They
are: 1. belonging to the oJricers' club, 2. tree medical care, 3. tree
legal aid and advice, 4. 30 days paid vacation, 5. a higher pay
scale (a higher pay than other army men, that Is), and most im­portant
of all 6. being able to "meet people of high calibre and
s1mllii.r interests." Having these last points brought to his attentioQ
Sartre mleht very well reconsider his pait judgments concerning
tbe army. The only stumbling block to this might be, that in the
true equalitarian spirit, Sartre could not help but ask, with an
opportunity so full of advantage., why Is the Army ROTC FOR

Greenwich Bo.pltal
The Greenwich Hospital is
pleased to be a part of the pro­gram,
while at the same time
continuing its own well estab­lished
three-year diploma pro-gram.
The Greenwich Hospital rec­ognizes
that the demands of
modem hospital care can be
even further served by a bac­calaureate
program in nursing.
Advances In technology, Im­provements
in preventive mea­sures,
the ability to sustain life
in heretofore hopeless situations
- all these have created an
environment that asks more of
the practicing nurse than ever
before. A strong background in
the sciences will make her more
adept at working with the so­phisticated
equipment and new
techniques that surround her
now and that will continue to
be developed in the future.
A strong background in the
humanities will give her the in­sights
and the breadth of judg­ment
that she will need to rely
on every day of her working
life. And an academic setting in
which she can know and ob­serve
students in other disci­plines,
will give her knowledge
of people, and of the world, that
can only work to her advantage
in administering bedside care.
The program promises not
only to raise the level of bed­side
nursing, but to provide p~
fessional nurses who can lead
and direct the modern nursing
team that bas evolved out of the
new concepts of medical care.
It will also make available
a larger group of well qualified
nurses who can advance to the
next higher professional degree.
And, especially important, it
may encourage many nurses to
become teachers and ftll a seri­ous
need that exists in nursing
education in the state.
Stamford Ro.pltal
a College education will avail
themselves of this opportunity
to receive a degree in nursing
rather than pursuing a degree
in another allied field.
The baccalaureate program
will assist In preparing addi­tional
faculty members and. it
will enable them to move more
quickly into a masters program.
The more people that are
prepared on the college level,
the more rapidly students could
be prepared on the diploma,
practical nurse, and nurse aide
level thereby helping to allevi­ate
the nursing shortage.
St. Joseph's Hospital is able
to offer Its clinical facilities for
clin.ical experience in imple­menting
the academic phase of
the program.
The educational tone of the
Hospital Is enhanced with a
nursing program at this level.
The presence of student nurses
keeps everyone on the alert.
It Is a community responsi­bility
to provide nurses. The
Hospital will make a contribu­tion
to the community by par­ticipating
in the program and
thereby Increasing the number
of nursing personneL

are also plannillg one or two
trips to Catamount Mt. and
Mt. Snow. These trips are for

enough room It will be open to
all. Ski Club members have set
up car pools· for weekend ex­cursions
to area ski resorts.
The single fund-raising event

to charge admission for skiing
films and speakers.
According to Jay MacDer­mott,
an officer of the club,
"The Ski Club is the thing for
skUng lovers and also those who
are not experts at the sport.
You don't have to be able to
ski to join the Ski Club, lessons
may be provided on campus
whenever there Is a substantial
snow fall. Otherwise most · re­sorts
do have lessons for begin­ners.
The Club encourages all
thsoe who enjoy skiing to come
to our next meeting which will
be announced or to contact one
of the officers."

Another School's SDS
To the Editor:
I am presently on a leave of absence
trom Fairfield University having ac­cepted
a one year appointment with the
National Science Foundation, The Foun­dation
building is located at the edge of
the campus of George Washington Uni­versity.
As a result I often walk through
parts of the campus during my lunch
break or to catch my bus. This has
helped me to retain a contact, although
remote, with campus lJfe and student un­rest.
Last week the G.W.U. campus chapter
of the Students for a Democratic Society
and the D.C. PolJce Department clashed
on campus. The enclosed editorial ap­peared
in the G.W.U. student newspaper,
'l'tte Batcbet. It was written by Paul
Panitz, Editor-In-chief. Perhaps It would
be of interest to Fairfield University stu­dents.

That substitute was the irrational and

That SDSeN were provoldn&' the po­nce

wanted them to react and to spUt head.,

Financial Position
To the Editor:
In response to the SOS of the Hockey
Club, I wish to inform them of the rele­vant
facts. Firstly, there has been abso­lutely
no attempt on the part of the
club to present the necessary documents
to allow the Legislature to appropriate
any funds to them. A list of total mem­bership,
supporting evidence of where
the money will be spent, and the pro­posing
of the appropriation by a legisla­tor
are all necessary even before con­sideration
of a grant can occur by the
Financial Committee. Secondly, the
claims that appropriate funds are not
being utilized Is totally false. The $3,000
student loau fund is presently being used
on a daily baSis with already about
$1,000 expended. The $4.000 of the Social
Department has also been spent as a
down payment for the Peter, Paul, and
Mary concert. This wlll hopefully return,
but it will be used shortly thereafter to
plan for another concert. The $3,400 of
the Activities Department is being used
for speakers already contracted for and
further for free busses, the latest of
which have_ ~n used to benefit the
Hockey Club by transporting ticket-buy­ing
spectators to the Bridgeport Wonder­land
of Ice.
Further, let me say that the idea that
an organization must receive at least as
much money as they paid to the Student
Government is rather absurd, since one
Is expected to pay his Activity Fee
regardless of his association with any
particular club. This money is to sup­port
the Government, not to be doled out
to every organization on campus. If this
were the case, the Government would be
bankrupt in a few days.
It is hoped that in the future we might
be able to help the Hockey Club more,
but in our present financial condition
there is little or no funds to be dis­tributed.
With the possibility of greater
payment of Activity Fees, we would be
most happy to give this fine organization
as much money as possible.
l!llncerely,
lames B. Cun.nl.ngham

Thanks, But .. .
To th Editor:
We would like to thank M.rs. Brown
for taking the time on Thursday after­noon
(November 21) to acquaint us with
the running of the bookstore. Her graci­ous
assistance enabled us to understand
the problems confronting the bookstore.
We fotmd that the exorbitant prices on
books are actually demanded by the pub­lishing
companies. These prices are the
same for the Yale University Co-op and
the Sacred Heart University Book Store.
The problem, therefore, lies in the
publisher's price setting. We also found
Mrs. Brown very receptive to any re­quests
for products not appearing on the
sl\elves. For her patience and under­standing
we would sincerely like to
thank Mrs. Brown.
However, the assumption that it would
not be feasible for the Student Govern­ment
to run the bookstore is not entirely
true. Yes, pennanent help would be
necessary, but it is conceivable that the
Student Government could replace the
company that now has the concession.
The initial cost and operating procedures
required for such a venture should be

A Matter of Princip_le
This Wednesday the students of this university will be voting on
an amendment to the Student Government Constitution that could
prove to be a revolutionary step in revamping this nation's educa­tional
system. The passage of this amendment, which provides for
student ratification of future student constitutions, would be the first
concrete implementation of the principle of atudent power.
According to this principle, there are certain areas that are
solely of student concern. These areas, of course, pertain to the stu­dent's
private life. Curfews, sign-ins, parietals, and dress are ex­amples
of some areas of concern in which the faculty and administra­tion
have no right to meddle. Course requirements, class cuts, and
implementation of certain marking systems are examples of areas
that concern all three segments of the university.
In effect, exponents of the student power principle are asking not
for a free hand in running all aspects of the university, but simply for
the right to have final say in matters concerning their private lives,
and an eQual voice in matters that concern the administration, faculty,
and themselves. We cannot support this principle too strongly.
Due to legislative bungling in the Student Government, the
amendment was not put on the ballot in the recent election. The
decision was made by the amendment's proponents and opponents
supposedly to give each side more time to present their case to the
stude?t ~ody. We know of no such drive to educate the student body
on ~~us ISsue and feel that the move was the direct result of petty
pohtical maneuvers on the part of both sides.
Th~ amend!Jlent's oppon~nts, no doubt, feel that if the voter
turnout lS poor., Its passage will be meaningless. On the other hand,
the amendments proponents feel that because the leftist activities on
campus outnumb~r t~eir ideologica.l counterparts, a poor turnoul
would mean certam VIctory. Both attitudes represent a flagrant disre­gard
for general student opinion.
Now the ques~on is up to you. Unfortunately. students here do
not have a reputation for standing on principles. Pragmatic stagi~m
runs ra~pant e.ven all)o_ng t~e "conscientious" left. Rebellion in the
past agamst this admmistrabon's paternalistic policies has occurred
only when the students' liquor or sex lives have been threatened.
b . All that can change now. Perhaps the adminstration will even
e Impressed by a show of student initiative At any rate we can
h
be sure that there ~ill be no stock responses be~ause student initiative
as never been an 1ssue here.

Whose Security?
THI STA.
The recent series of thefts that has been taking place in and
around the various campus parking lots is only one more reason why
the security force of this university needs drastic revision. We cannot
understand how the present security force has been unable to surprise
the culprits even once, despite the fact that the breaks are numerous
enough for even an unsuspecting stroller to unknowingly chance upon
such an attempt.
While the security force has an extremely poor record of appre­hending
those who threaten our security, they have an unblemished
record of implementing ambitious ticket-blitzes to insure the security
of the businessmen's Loyola parking spaces. We wonder whether they
see their function here as primarily to insure our security or that of
administrative employees.
The parking lot behind Campion Hall and the New Dorm last
week was the scene of the most expensive break to date. The theft of
$200 worth of auto accessories might have been prevented had Mr.
Griffin allowed the student involved to park his car in front of Cam­pion
where there are lights. The same student had been refused such
permission two weeks earlier in a talk with Mr. Griffin in which the
former expressed concern over the lack of parking lights in the area.
The lights in this lot will go up eventually, we suppose, but in
the meantime is the administration ready to assume responsibility for
the security of student vehicles? We hope so. We suggest that the
administration take a close look at the effectiveness of their "secu­rity"
force and take immediate steps to remedy the situation.
In the meantime we urge all students who own cars to disregard
their assigned lots and park their cars where they feel they will be
afforded the most protection. If the administration refuses to accept
responsibility for our cars it thereby cedes its right to regulate OQI'
parking.

E C L E.CT I C
Some people at Fairtleld would like to see a change. That's
nice. But there is an institution involved that Is working on tra­ditional
grounds, and it has a built in right to do so unless the
tradition is changed from within. So the ultimatum becomes cleer
once this is remembered: It is necessary to work from within an
existing establishment or bid adieu.
The United States has been in error and other countries have
been right, (lest we forget there are other oountries and they exist
too), and so on it goes that certain people and universities have
been wrong while others have been correct. It has been said that
when one knows what his problems are he is half way to solving
them, and there are problems that certain Institutions have that
they do not know they have. It remains for us to discover the prot>.
!ems, to seek for their discovery, and to listen to those that have
discovered. Problems are hidden things that slowly kill us, and
sometimes we do not know when it is we die.
One of the things that we must cope with is the unfortunate
situation that things cannot be changed for the better health of
us all. Change that comes too slowly often comes too late even
though it brings token dustpans along for the dust. Also, change
that comes too suddenly can be irrevocably damaging and its
very rashness be its tombstone.
These are the elements which we must sift. A pleasure loving
society cannot afford not to think. Thinking is its only survival
kit. Be careful not to "judge" new thought too quickly unless you
intend to be judged by the new thinkers, and maybe left for your
impetuosity to rot. Pleasure loving and complacency comes natur­ally.
It is only thinking that comes rationally and is it thinking
that we do?
There is a problem that C. P. Snow has pointed at recently
from a rostrum at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri. The
problem which we must grasp is that of world famine in the
1980's unless the following are met:
1. A concerted effort by the rich countries to produce food,
money, technical assist~ce for the poor of the world.
2. An etfort by the poor countries themselves on the lines of
India and Pakistan to revolutionize their food production.
3.An etfort by the poor countries - with all the assistancP
that can be provided - to reduce or stop their population in­crease,
with a corresponding reduction in the population increase
in the rich countries.
This is his ultimatum and one of a statesman, novelist,
philosopher, and scientist. It is the Malthus theory again, but
old cliches have a way of popping up once more, and Snow says
that unless these points are met, "Many millions of people in the •
poor countries are going to starve to death before our eyes, or to
complete the domestic picture, we shall see them doing so upon our
television sets." He continues saying, "One hears young people
asking for a cause." I might add, "Does one?" But anyway, ne
gives it to- us: "It is the duty of all the rest of us, and perhaps
most of all of the generations which are going to live in what is
now the future, to keep before the world its long term fate. Peace.
Food. No more people than the earth can take. That is the cause."
Yes, it is a cause, and also our duty, but no one likes that word.
It means effort and how many people like to exert themselves on
something cooperative today? Most people only have time to
devote to self, and that really is not very devotional.
Time must be taken on both short and long range to cope
cooperatively with problems that are not on the individual level
today, but unless we face them on a cooperative level soon they
will be on our individual doorsteps tomorrow with sickle in hand.
The grim reaper will take his due from each of us individually
unless such problems as world famine be met now cooperatively,
and between the nations of the world, and between the town
councils in the states, and between universities the world wide,
and between roommates. (and other combinations, you might think
of.)
C. P. Snow foresees three end results If thll ultimatum is not
met. They are:
1. That the superpowers will continue their arms race and
famine will take charge.
2. That agricultural science will give mankind a generation's
breathing space to think things over.
3. That the world will break out of the seige of clique or
individualistic selfish thinking to make the sacrifices necessary to
avert disaster.
The "sacrifices necessary" are the three points Hsted before.
It remains for us to make the "third future" a possibility which
C. P. Snow sadly doubts will come to pass. We must rationally
consider his three steps and put an end to our own individual
cliques, our country's internal break up, and the world's common
disunity so that working cooperatively we shall be able to solve.
this the world's first problem.
For the choice (as are most) la: Uve or die.

Rugger' s Reply
To the Editor:
In Shaun Harrington's column con­cerning
the Fairfield Rugby Club which
appeared in last weeks Stag, he asked
what motivates the ruggers, why do they
put up with so much punishment, and
why do so many young men try out for
the team every season. Perhaps I can
give him some accurate answers.
To many of the members of the Rugby
Club, rugby takes presidence over all
other activities; they actually live for
the game and the club. Week after
week they are called on to give their
thne, money, a.nd energy to keep the
dtganization on its feet. They can often
be seen washing uniforms, groming the
ft~ld, selling buttons or shirts to raise
mbney, or straining to get in good
enough shape" to play winning rugby.
Then, aftet facing the best competition
in the East on Saturdays, when others
would rest, they again volunteer to help.
I suppose that there is, as Mr. Harring­ton
says, a deep pride involved. It is
true that there is more than just a beer
for a reward. As far as I can see it is
the thrill that comes with knowing that
you are a part of the- best. I am sure
that everyone knows the Tom Crowleys,
Steve Canes, and Quinnie Murphys, but
there are some guys in the club whose
names never appear on the sports page,
and yet, without whom the club could
not go on. I only wish there were room
to mention all of them now. It is obvious
why the Rugby Club is a success.
But the members of the club are not
the only reason why the ruggers just
completed their most successful season
ever. Long before the opening kickoff,
the Rugby Club re-ceived help from vari­ous
individuals and groups who deserve
to be thanked. In every instance in
which the Admi.nistration was asked for
assistance, they were extre.mely cooper­ative.
Mr. Bisacca and the Athletic As­sociation
were willing to aid us when
we needed them. The Student Govern­ment
also granted us $250 to help defray
the cost of insurance for our players.
We were quite fcrtunate 1n having an
interested and active moderator in Mr.
Paul I. Davis. To all these people go
our sincere thanks.
There is another group of people who
give a tremendous lift to the ruggen
both on the field and off. The Student
Body has been encouraging the club on
the field and supporting them financially
since the club's inception in 1963. Thanks
for this season, and I hope to see you
all down by the pond for an undefated
Spring season.
It would be unfair at this point not
to mention my six roommates who pa­tiently
put up with "rugby headquarters"
and its various inconveniences. Thanks
are also in order to Steve Carre, Club
Secretary and hardest worker in the
organization. No one person has put
more into Fairfield Rugby than has
Steve.
These are some the forces behind a
successful campus activity. I am grate-­ful
to all, and to The Stag for recogniz­ing
us and them.

WVOF Revises Reporting
With Eye To Versatility
By BIC BAKER
"Unless we start along the lines of responsible student reporting the Adminis­tration
and Faculty will not respect us. They are not going to regard us as a vital
means of communication." These are the words of Richard Makse, program di­rector
and station manager of WVOF. He believes that unless the news depart­ment
becomes more versatile and more oriented to campus reporting the f uture
growth of WVOF will be stymied.
Describing WVOF'a function ---------------------­as
that of "provldinl a service charge. of the Sports Depart- or on tape, all the home games,
to those living on campus," Mr. ment, feels that his department plus all the away games except
Makse feels that the Radio
Club achieves its goal through
ita Music, News, and Sports
Departments. However, the sta·
tion manager feels that the
radio club is "more entertain­ment
oriented" than he would
Wee.
News Coverace
broadcasts receive the largest
audience. In response to the
student's needs the Sports De­partment
has increased its
schedule th.is year. During the
fall the Radio Club covered all
the away games of the Fair­field
University Club Football
team. Presently it is covering
the Hockey Club and will
broadcast Basketball games
later on this year. "At this time
we plan to broadcast, either live
those over the vacation. 'Ibis o.t
course is dependent upon our
financial position." Games to be
broadcast in the near future
are: the Fairleigh Dickinson
Universicy game on December
4, the St. Joseph's College game
on December 7, and the Stags'
home opener on December 11
against King's college. WVOF
also plans on covering the
Hockey Club game against
Adelphi this Friday.

The Music Department is
headed by AI Wuthenow, who
is assisted by Frank Fortney
and Tom Krazit. It is this de­partment
who is responsible for
most of the 73 hours of broad­cast
.time that the Radio Club
is on the air. They endeavor to
provide music to satisfY as
many tastes as possible - from
Bach, to the Beatles, to Big
Brother and the Holding Com­pany.
WVOF maintains a schedule
of broadcasts from 8-10 a.m. on
weekdays and from 3-12 p.m.
every day of the week. It is
located in suite 300 o.f Loyola
Hall and may be heard on 900
on your AM radio dial.
In order to rectity this situa­tion
the News Department is
being reorganized. News pro­grams
are being planned for on
the hour broadcasts of campus
news. It is the aim of the News
Department being directed by
Bob Harper to provide respon­sible
commentary on those sub­jects
that provide student inter­est.
WVOF hopes to 11.11 the
lapse of time between the week­ly
printing of The Stag in re­porting
the news. 'lbe staff
hopes to develop to the stage
where they can successfully
maintain a program of on the
spot commentary and r eporting
of news pertinent to all seg­ments
of the University's fam­ily.

Another segment of WVOF
is being channeled into special
broadcasts. Recent examples of
such special shows are the open
forum with Mr. Gr11rin and the
live interview with Mr. Robert
Emerich, director of the Play-bouse
and members of the «*rt
Of ''Philadelphia, Here I Come."
The objective of the interview
with Mr. Emerich and cast was
to help make students aware of
the work and dedication tha t is
DeceSSary for Fairfield to have
a Playhouse of its calibre. Spe­cial
broadcasts which will take
place in the near future will be

In the last few years business has
changed as much as skirt lengths. So
has the work of the CPA.
Today the CPA helps solve a host
of problems rising from new technol­ogy
(including the computer) and the
changing social scene.
He must be able to develop and
interpret a wide range of economic
data as a basis for decision-making
and corporate planning.
If you are a creative thinker, with
a strong analytical ability, account­ancy
may be the profession for you.
You might join an independent
accounting firm, serving a varied list
of clients, perhaps becoming a part­ner
eventually. Or you might start
your own practice.
Or you might become a key man
on the management team of a busi­ness,
or join a non-profit enterprise,
or work in education or government.
What other profession offers so
many choices?
You can select college courses
that can lead to your CPA certificate
soon after you graduate. Or you can
go on to graduate school. Ask your
faculty advisor about it.

of Bridgeport. Magaletta is
called on in the clutch to score
with hill familiar 15 footers
from the foul line, his uncanny
short jumpers in the lane or
from the close baseline. The
combination of Magaletta and
Gibbons will be of prime im­portance
as they represent the
only returning duo that saw
consistent action last season.
Sanabria Returns
Expected to take up the re­bounding
slack created by the
loss of Jones, Crenshaw, and
Kenney iJ 6' 7" junior Rick
Sanabria, who returns after a
year's absence due to academic
difficulties. His record at Fair­field
includes a brilliant fresh­man
season and his impressive
varsity performances against
Niagara (23 points and 16 re­bounds)
and Loyola of New Or­leans
(20 points and 16 re­bounds)
. The Malverne High
graduate from Long Island is
counted on to furnish sorely
needed inside scoring punch in
addition to his better than aver­age
outside shot. Rick must
clear the boards against such
taller opponents as Bob Lanier
(6' 11", St. Bonaventure) and
Phil Washington (6' 9'', Du­quesne)
if the Stag fast break
is to be effective. Rick will also
be called upon to set picks and
pass to cutters from his high
or low post positions.
'lbe "sophomore to watch"' is
6'6" Mark Frazer, a forward,
who set the total points scored
record for the frosh last year,
whfle averaging 24.5. Mark is
an adept outside shooter and
ball-handler and Coach Lynam
hopes to develop him into •
strong Inside man to capitalize
on tus maneuverability. The ex­St.
Augustine's, New York star
can be a vital cog In the Stag
rebounding game if he is able
to match strength with the op.
posing veterans against whom
he must compete.
Another Phlladelphla product
is 6'1" guard, Sam King, a
graduate of Father Judge.
King is one ot the moet out­standing
defensive ballplayers
In Stag hlstory, as displayed by
his uncanny ability to steal the
ball as an integral part of the
Stag press that was irutiated in
the upset of Villanova last Dec.
16. Sam entered that game in
the last five minutes and turned
in three key steals to combine
with Gibbons and Jones for the
come-from-behind victory. Sam
also bolstered the pressing de­fense
in the victories over Holy
Cross, and Niagara. In the Nia­gara
game, he snapped an 81~
deadlock with three minutes to
play when he sank two foul
shots. 0n· offense, the junior
guard is an adept passer and
playmaker in addition to being
a deadly free throw shooter
<88% last year) .
Leading the quartet of return­ing
lettermen is J. C. Dennis, a
6' 3" senior who is pressing for
a starting berth. His tremend­ous
leaping ability gives him
versatility as be is equally at
horne In front (the comer) or
back court. Another challeng­ing
ballplayer, who can crack
the starting lineup is the 6' 3"
"Blond Bomber" from Meriden,
Conn., Jim Hessel. Hessel start­ed
on several occasions last
year, most notably a 20 point
6utburst in his debut 8iainst
Stonehlll. Jim depends on
"downtown" jumpers and the
flashy junior thrilled the fans
with four straight 25 footers in
the opening moments of the
Fordham game. Art "Aabo'.
Good looms as a strong backup
man for Sanabria at the center
spot. The burly 6' 7" junior
from Massachusetts hopes to
rebound from his injury-plagu­ed
season of a year ago. More
help on the front line comes
from 6' 6" Rich Schoenbeck
from Westboro, Mass. The
lanky junior figures to see con­siderable
action at the center
and forward positions.
Newcomers to the varsity in·
elude Tom Purcell, Tom Finch,
and seven-foot Bill McGee,
Sophomore Purcell was partic­ularly
impressive in the second
half of last year's freshman
campaign, registering several
20 point games. The 6' 4" for­ward
provides extra bench
strength for the front court.
Tom Finch, a local star from
Norte Dame in Bridgeport, sup­plies
added depth in the back­court.
Finch moved in to replace
Leo's (Fla.), and an improved
East Carolina.
This Wednesday the Stags
continue their road show, jour­neying
to Fairleigh Dickinson
to meet the Knights who fell
to the Stags 84-78 a YellE ago.
The Knights have lost 6' 6"
Reggie Foster and backcourt
star AI Patierno. This year's
squad will be built around vet­erans
Ron Branch (6' 2"), two
6' 5" seniors, Charlie Zolot and
Ken Wangler, and guard Ron
Kist who takes over for Pati­erno.
Lack of height and depth
suggest that the Knights might
be the Stags second victim.
St. Joseph's
The Stags continue to look
homeward as they ta.ke on St.
Joseph's in their third straight
road tilt, this time in the City
of Brotherly Love, which has
never been very brotherly when
it comes to basketball. The
Stags will be out to avenge last
season's 82-78 setback, while
fresh in the Hawks' memories
will be the stunning 88-68
thumping inflicted by Fairfield
two years ago to end a long
vantage, the Hawk fans must
be seen to be believed, will
serve to make this the first stiff
test for the Stags.
King's College
The Stags then make the
briefest of stops as a one-game
homestand inaugurates the
home season on Dec. 11 against
King's College of Pa. King's,
attempting to go "big-time," en­gages
Notre Dame the week
before they visit Stagland. In
both cases they appear to have
overstepped their class and the
Stags, enjoying the homecourt
advantage for the first time,
should emerge victorious.
St. Francis
Saturday, Dec. 14, the Stags
hit the road again; destination
Loretto, Pa., where the Fran­kies
will be seeking to reverse
last year's 87-82 loss. As in the
case of St. Joe's, the homecourt
poses a significant menace to
any visitor. The Frankies affec­tionately
refer to their field­bouse
as the "Mosque" and at

his 17-9 club of a year ago, in­experience,
especially at the
center spot, makes it unlikely
that the Hawks will provide a
rude awakening for Coach Ly­nam's
homecoming. However,
the slick Kelly and strong
Hauer plus the homecourt ad-ed
that his St. Peter's Peacocks
would never again play at Lo-retto
due to the cramped court1
and alleged poor lighting.
Lights, or no lights, St. Francis
seems at least equal to last
year's version, which finished
19-6. Returning Frankies in­clude
6' 1'~ Norm Vanlier (18.8),
6' 7" Larry Lewis (17.4 points
and 17.7 rebounds, sixth in the
nation), and southpaw Bill
Snodgrass (17.0), whose long
left-handed sets were most ef­fective
in last year's contest.
Mike Copeland, a 6' 10" soph,
with a year of varsity experi­ence
as a frosh, is expected to
share the rebounding load with
Lewis. It will take a high scor­ing
effort by the Stags to dim
the Frankies' home victory
lights.
Boston College
The Stags make another hit­and-
run stop at Fairfield to
hopefully strike down Bob Cou­sy
and his Eagles who are ''re­building,"
but one might say
lhat half the house is aiready
buill The Eagles will no doubt
miss Steve Adelman, Jack
Kvancz, Jim Kissane, and Steve
Kelleher, from the '67-68 squad
that dumped Fairfield 90-76.
But Terry Driscoll and diminu­tive
Billy Evans should provide
the punch for Cooz's men. Dris­coll,
the 6' 7" pivotman aver­aged
17.8 points and 12.9 re­bounds.
Evans returns after a
bout with mononucleosis. Sup­porting
these two seniors are
6' 4" junior Bob Dukiet who
sports a 14 point average, soph
Frank Fitzgerald at 6' 7" who
scored at a 20.2 clip for the
frosh, and highly-touted sopho­more
guard Jim O'Brien. This
contest will be the first in the
New Haven Arena, where two
years ago the Stags threw quite
a scare into the Eagles, who,
ruffled in the first half, man­aged
to pull away late in the
second. Cousy will have bitter
memories of Jim Brown who
led the Stags to victory three
years ago in B.C.'s Chestnut
Hill homecourt opener.
Vermont
On December 21 the Stags
pack their bags again and are
off to Vermont to tangle with
the Catamounts, a new eddi­tion
to this year's schedule. The
Catamounts compiled a s..5
Yankee Conference mark and
were 12-12 overall. The pre­dominantly
junior squad must
replace high scorer and re­bounder
Bill Librera (16.6
points per game). The back­court
should be solid with Dave
Lapointe (15.4) and Frank Mar­tiniuk
(15.4) manning the guns.
The problem lies in the fore­court
where poor rebounding
and foul trouble have consistent­ly
plagued the Catamounts. Last
year's showing was Vermont's
best in ten years and, with its
front court problems, this one
may have to struggle to ap.
proach .500. The Stags should
walk away with a Christmas
present here.
Holy CroN
The Stags greet the New Year
with another road show, this
time in Worcester, Mass., where
they meet the Holy Cross Cru­saders
on Jan. 4. Coach Jack
Donohue should have one of
New England's toughest squads
as he tries to improve upon last
year's 15-8 mark, and avenge
the 65-63 loss to the Stags.
Leading a sparse crop of re­turnees
is Ed Siudct, a two
time all-New England pick,
who at 6' 7" averaged 23.2 scor­ing
inside and outside with his
unique jumping hook shots.
Trying to atone for the loss of
Keith Hochstein and Jim Mur­ray
is a talented and tali crop
of sophs. Bob Kissane, who
broke all of brother Jim's rec­ords
at Chaminade High on
Long Island, appears ready to
step in at forward where his
6' 8" size will add board
strength for the Crusaders while
his smooth outside shot will
make him troublesome to the
defense. Just to make sure H.C.
won't have to look up to many
opponents are sophs Don Sasso
(6' 8") Pete Knapp (6' 7") and
John Harlin (6' 7') . Add to that
list soph Jack Adams (22.3 for
the frosh) and you have a

Cont.lnued from Page 13
young but impressive club. At
6' 1", Adams seems to be the
field general for the Crusaders.
The Stags may have board
troubles here and consequently
the fast break could suffer. So
the Stags will rely mainly on
their press against a bigger but
slower Crusader five.
lona
The Stags continue on the
road against the Iona Gaels,
members of the Met Conference
who recorded a 13-9 mark last
winter. Key returnee is Bob
McMahon (16.3), a 6'0" guard
who will be joined in the back
court by slick 5' 6" playmaker
John Carey (7.5). 6' 6" Bill Mc­Gugins,
leading rcbounder a
year ago holds down the center
post and veterans Tony Morgan
(9.7) at 6' 5" and 6' 3" New
O'Connell (9.4) occupy the for­ward
posts. Joe Mazella (20.9)
at 6' 3" and 6' 4" Artie Wiggins
(19.7) lead a talented inftux ot
sophs from Iona's '67-68 Met
Conference freshman champs.
Gael experience should give the
Stags something to ponder.
Bridgeport
This hom~and-away series
starts on Jan. 11 at U.B. where
the Purple Knights have always
been tough, last year being no
exception as it took some last
minute heroics by Jones and
Magaletta to salvage a 76-74
win. At home U.B. fell 66-58
earlier in the campaign. Led by
6' 6" senior Gary Baum (20.1)
the Purple Knights hope to bet­ter
their school record pace of
a year ago (19-8). Bruce Web­ster
can look to returnees Bob
Fauser (11.4) at 6' 4", 6' 5" for­ward
Tom Finn (5.5) and team
quarterback 5' 10" Tony Barone
(10.8). Replacing guard John
Brill and his 18 point average
will be the task of junior Rufus
Wells and soph Bill Rubs. Otht>r
sophs who will see considerable
action are 6' 7" John Foster­Bey
and six-foot Jack Kisch
who led the yearlings to an
18-1 season, including a pair of
decisions over the Stag frosh.
The Stags should duplicate last
year's performance, completing
the sweep when U.B. comes
crosstown on Feb. 24.
American
The Stags will be out to make
amends for the 83-72 thrashing
they absorbed from the Eagles
last season when American in­vades
Fairfield on Jan. 13. Com­ing
off a 14-12 ledger a year
ago, the Eagles are counting on
co-captains Terry Hill (10.3), a
5' 10" guard and Gordon Stiles
(13.7), a 6' 3" forward, their
only returning starters. Junior
Vince Schafmeister, 6' 8" will
have to assume the rebounding
duties left by graduated 7' 1"
Art Beatty. The other vacan­cies
will be filled by junior col­lege
newcomers Dan DuVal and
Bill Kagarise at 6' 3" and 6' 00"
respectively. Promising sophs
include Reid Fader (13.8) and
Mike Graham (9.1). Overall
height, experience, and depth
are lacking in a unit that has
never played together. Stags
convincingly.
St. Leo's
On Jan. 15 St. Leo's of Flo­rida
provides the competition in
our gym. St. Leo's is in its sec­ond
varsity season, having com­piled
a 10-5 record in their In­itial
campaign. This year's edi­tion
is a sophomore-junior squad
with experience as a unit. In
addition, Leo's has recruited
some transfers from Chicago.
The Stags should chalk up third
straight victory in as many
campus appearances.

Fordham
After exams the. Stags take
to the road to engage the Rams
of Fordham on Jan. 26. In one
of their most erratic games of
last year, the Stags lost to Ford­ham
62-55 in the Arena. Coach
Ed Conlin Inherits last year's
N.I.T. club from John Bach.
His chances of duplicating their
19-8 mark hinge on the pel'­formances
of veterans Bob Kel­lert
(12.6), who is 6' 5", and
6' 4" Bob Cassour (4.2) up
front and 6 7" Dennis Witkow­ski
in the middle, with 6' 3"
Pat Raftery and 6' 1" Frank
McLaughlin <12.9) at the
guards. Some of the slack ~
ated by the loss of Bill Lang­held
(16.9) and defensive star
Ken Parker may be taken up
by sophs Bill Mainor, who at
6 2" led the frosh (21.7) and
6'5" Bob Larbes (12.3).
VlllaDova
Leading off the second half
of the season is a contest with
the Wildcats of Villanova, who
figure to be our strongest op­ponent.
Picked by the experts
to rank In the top 10 nationally,
the 'Cats will have the added
Incentive of reversing last year's
upset loss to the Stags, 63-62.
Jack Kraft's squad is loaded
and seems assured of its eighth
consecutive post season tour­ney.
Only Joe Crews is absent
from last season's 19-9 N.I.T.
entry which reversed a dismal
1-7 start. The 'Cats, always
tough in the latter half of the
season, should be tough through­out
this time around, with r~
turning starters Johnny Jone:.
(20.4) at 6' 4" leaper, 6' 7" cen­ter
Jim Mcintosh, 6' 5' forwards
Sammy Simms (injured in pre
season) and Frank McCall. The
guard spots are occupied by
Frank Gillen (5.4), a driving
playmaker who is a defensive
standout, and Bobby Melchion­ni
(6.0). An excellent group of
sophs may steal a few starting
berths from these veterans.
Tops among them is 6' 8" Howie
Porter who led the frosh with
30 points and 21 rebounds a
game. Mr. Lynam gives him
the "can't miss" tag and tabs
him a sure fire all-American be­fore
he's through. Clarence
Smith (19.2) at 6' 5", John Fox
6' 3" (16.5), and Hal Watson
6' 4" (injured last year, but a
prep school sensation) are oth­er
sophs who figure prominent­ly
in Kraft's plans. All of this
impressive fir~power is coupled
with a defense that was seventh
best in the nation. One needs a
magnifying glass to find a sig­nificant
weakness in this club.
A peak performance by the
Stags in the Arena on Jan. 28
could produce an upset that
would serve as a resilient
springboard for the second half
of the season.
Georgetown
The Hoyas of Georgetown
follow on the heels of Villanova
and encounter the Stags in New
Haven on Feb. 1. Georgetown
capped our disastrous trip to
D.C. last year with a 78-61
romp. That unit has lost Bruce
Stinebrickner (12.6) and Den­nis
Ceasar (15.0) who led the
Hoyas to an 11-12 mark. Coach
Jack McGee will rely heavily
upon 6' 6" Charlie Adrion, a
junior who averaged 17.0. The
ex-New Jersey school boy star
added 10.2 rebounds. Joining
Adrion up front are 6' 4" for­wards
Jim Supple (13.1) and
Rick Cannon (6.9). The guards
are 5' 11" Mike Laska (5.1)
and 5' 10" Don Weber (20.3)
as a frosh. Lack of height and
depth figure to help the Stags
reverse last year's outcome.
Duquesne
The Dukes storm into the
Arena on Feb. 3 with last sea­son's
90-67 drubbing of the
Stags to give them confidence.
The '68-69 version appears to
be at least as strong as last
year's 18-7 N.I.T. bunch, d~
spite the loss of top-scorer Ron
Guziak. Four starters return:
6' 4" Moe Barr (15.2), 6' 2" Bil­ly
Zopf, 5'9", Gary Major
(7.8), and top rebounder Phil
Washington (13.4) also at 6' 9".
Coach Red Manning rates soph
Jarrett Durham (21.1 as a
frosh) as his best prospect since
Willie Somerset (now in the
ABA with the Houston Mave­ricks).
The 6' 5" Durham will
see plenty of action as will a
set of 6' 10" twins - sophs
Gary (18.8) and Barry (15.7)
Nelson. The Dukes, who round
out the thre~game home stand
(longest of the year for the
Stags), are, along with Villa­nova,
the Stags most awesome
rivals, and it will demand an­other
superior showing by the
Stags to send the Dukes home
defeated.

ing them an undefeated 23-0
record. The inflated number
three national ranking was
burst in the N.C.A.A. playoffs
as North Carolina and Colum­bia
crushed the Bonnies. The
Bonnies figure to suffer from
the loss of offensive standout
Bill BuUer (22.8) whose place
will be taken by 6' 3" soph Greg .
Gary from New York. The rest
of last year's unit remains in­tact
centering around 6' 11" all­American
Bob Lanier (26.2
points and 15.6 rebounds) whose
massive 270 lb. frame is almost
unstoppable on inside drives.
6' 5" John Hayes (13.4), and
guards Jim Satalin (11.9) and
Billy Kalbaugh (8.9) complete
the starting quintet. The Bon­rues
appear to have problems
in depth and scoring punch be­yond
Lanier's close range of­fense.
A performance of the di­mensions
of last year's 7Q-69
loss could corral a Stag victory
over the Bonnies.
Manhattan
The Stags return home from
Olean and the Bonnies to tangle
with the Jaspers of Manhattan
on Feb. 12 at toe Arena where
the Stags were victors In the
1967-68 encounter by an 83-78
tally. Ken Norton who replaces
Jack Powers at the helm plans
to run more and employ a zone
press, to soften the blow felt by
the loss of three starters; Marty
Baietti (16.5), Bill Goodfellow
(15.0) and Al Orlando (10.9).
Sophomores Brian Mahoney
(25.4 as a frosh) and Matt Ly­nett
(19.9), both 6' 3" will man
the guard spots, while 6' 7" jun­ior
all-Met selection John Mar­ren
(17.3) will be in the pivot.
Forwards Grady O'Malley
(10.6) and Doug Fitzgerald
(2.5), both 6'2" return to com­plete
the lineup. Lack of bench
strength and inexperience at
guard· should make the Jaspers
vulnerable to the Stag press.
East Carollna
The Stags emerge from the
grueling six-game, two-week
heart of the schedule to swing
South and play the Pirates of
East Carolina, who fell victim
to the Stag two years ago. Since
then the Pirates have entered
the rough Southern Conference,
playing such powers as David­son
and West Virginia, losing
to the latter by three points in
the playoffs. East Carolina,
strong in league play, hopes to
improve upon lts overall 9-15
record. Flashy guard Earl
Thompson (16.8) will be helped
by sophs Jim Gregory, 6' 7"
(25.2 and 15 rebounds), and
Mike Dunn, 6' 4" (17.1) as well
as vets 6' 7" Jim Modlin (10.6),
6' 5" Rich Keir (7.8), and guard
Tom Miller (8.5). This squad is·
relatively
