Statement Of Jesuit PresidentsPuts Emphasis On Responsibility

Key Conference Considered Success

The following are excerpts from a statement released to thepress by the Conference of Presidents of Jesuit Colleges andUniversities, held at Boston College, last month.

"Far from decrying the larger place occupied in today's edu­cation by the scientific and mathematical disciplines, Jesuit edu­cation will continue its traditional emphasis upon these subjectsamong students and will strive to increase appreciation for thesenecesaary bases of life in the space age . . . The research andtraining provided through physical science laboratories, tech­nical schools, schools of the healing arts, and engineering col­leges on campuses stretching from coast to coast are coordinatedby the national Jesuit Research Council of America with head­quarters at Detroit ..."

"The Jesuit universities and colleges of America .. cur­rently enroll 118,000 students ..."

"The astonishing conquest of matter, energy and space giverise to a spiritual bewilderment in which man can lose his senseof purpose. To maintain equilibrium the school must guard theintegrity of the philosophic and humanistic disciplines whichmake the student aware of his spiritual origin and destiny."

"It is all too evident that the American moral fabric isbeing severely strained by the material advances that have runahead of our responsible use of them."

"American higher education during this decade . . . mustassume responsibility for making students aware of their newneighbors (nations and people emerging from a feudal society)and their needs. The Jesuit colleges are making this awarenesspractical through more intensive programs in foreign languagesand international relations ..."

NOTES AND FOTESTom Ryan in the Stu den t

Council corner-Fr. John Ryan, representing

the Bellarmine Guild, informedus that the tickets for this year'scar raffle will be available fordistribution within the nextweek. The raffle will take placeimmediately after Easter.

The Juniors, in the person ofFrank Murphy, requested thattheir Ontology final be switchedto the morning of March 17th sothey may enjoy one of the bestdays in the year-3 cheers forthe Little People!!!

A much needed motion waspassed which calls for a medi­cal doctor at all home inter-col­legiate sporting events. This willbe taken up with the adminis­tration.

The returns from the WinterCarnival are not fully completedbut Mr. Quinn promises a fullreport for the next meeting. Theold mimeograph machine in thePublic Relations office will berepaired by the Council andmay be used by other organiza­tions obtaining permission. Weare now looking for a room tokeep it in.

The last motion calls for thestenciling of all new constitu­tions which are submitted forapproval. This is to make eachmember fully aware of the con­tents of the entire constitution,not just those parts read to usby a Legislative Committee.

That's about it for now exceptto say that I fully agree with thejudges and the people who at­tended the Winter CarnivaL"The Queen was a beauty!"

The following items arenoted, in passing, by THESTAG to be of importance andtherefore, logically, worthy ofmention:

That the Student Council,due to the efforts of FrankMurphy, and others, is attempt­ing to have the date of the On­tology Final (for Juniors, only)changed from March 18th (theday after the internationalsaint, St. Patrick has been hon­ored) to the morning of the17th. Surely, all the Gaelickings smile down upon this ef­fort and THE STAG hopes fora favorable answer from theoffice of the Dean.

That the Council is also in­vestigating the possibility ofprocur:n\, the services of a med­ical doctor at all home inter­collegiate sporting events, heldat home. Some might wonder ifwe are not breaking a NCAArule in regard to the presenceof a "qualified" trainer, whoshould be at every game. THESTAG soon hopes to find thistrainer and interview him.

Editorial

During the past month. some perturbance concerning theacademic and mbral problem of cheating on examinations wasexpress~d on ihe national and collegiate level. Among othersconsidering the problem worthy of important space were theSaturday Evening Post of January 9th. the Educational Digestof Januarv. the editorial column of The Anselmian (the collegenewspaoe~ of St. Anselm's College in New Hampshire) and ina Professor Jacob's book "Changing Values in College." Interestedin the problem's t:lossible relationship to Fairfield University, wedecided to consuii a cross-section of our own student-body opin.ion concerning attitudes towards and habits of cheating. Itmight be well noted that Professor Jacob releases the opinion.based uoon survev evidence. that 40% or more of the studentsin a cori"siderable ~umber of colleges admitted frequent cheatingpractices.

Observations recorded from this University's group yieldthe conclusion that cheating has gradually worked itself into thepractices of a large number of students of Fairfield University.Due to the limitations of our own survey. we are not in a posi­tion to state. nor do we believe. that it is a majority habit ofstudents here. .

The oroblem. here at Fairfield. lies in the marked change inattitude toward the theory' and supposed necessity of cheating.The discussion must proceed on two levels. Primarily. on themoral or ethical plane. it is clearly recognizable that no con­donment exists which will rationalize or justify the action ofcheating.

However. on the practical and temporally-limited plane. letus examine carefullv the causes of such rationalization as pre­sently occurs. It se~ms to us that foremost in causation is thestrengthening overemphasis given to the value of the academicmark. Note that this overstress is not peculiar to Fairfield Uni­versity. but is. rather. a nationwide situation. The followingfactors are observed in the post-college life of the Americanstudent. (1) The emphasis upon the academic grade as almostsole indicator of the graduates aptitude and knowledgability ­this is quite prevalent in the modern business world. (2) Theg~ad-school viorld's stress upon marks as the only legitimatemeans of admission. Not even considered is the scholarship,grant. etc. drive wherein the student merits only by his collegiategrades. (3) Add to this. the customary parental urge that student·son bring home report cards full of splendidly high marks. Often.this is the onlv acceQted proof that son is working and meritspraise. (4) La~tly. d""o we- not often find the entire estimationand judgment made of a student by an instruct·or or professorbased strictly upon his academic marks on quizzes. tests andfinal exams?

We are not trying to justify the cheating student or makea weeping plea for mercy. Nor are we calling for an increasedvigilance on the part of exam proctors. We are saying that thereis a definite pressure. overly exerted. and resulting problemsthat lie behind the student adoption of cheating practices. Thevigilance of a proctor is not the cause. nor has it direct con,­nection with the problem.

The solution to this educational problem of cheating mustcome from a re-evaluation. by the student. of the purpose ofattending college: it must arise from our society's ceasing toregard college as merely four years to be trained to get a betterjob: and it must come from the higher educational forces in oursociety. in that. they be aware of and practice the importantdistinction between true knowledge and a test paper crammedby rote memory and essay-improvisations.

If there is not a re-evaluation of the purpose of college andthe precise imt)ortance of academic grades. then cheating is onlythe borrinnina of a serious problem for American education (and.thus. for Fairfield University).

ON CHEATING

"The function of the Resident Council is to protect the inter­ests of the resident student body and act as a mediating bodybetween the administration and the student body." Thus spakeTom Ryan, President of the council. The reason that he madethe small speech, or at least the reason that it is being published,is the increasing number of complaints about the ResidentCouncil heard in the dorms. After the rather stirring list offunctions, the next question had to do with the fulfilling of thisfunction. It was rather nicely hedged, but a reason was givenfor the hedging, that criticism of a body over which a memberof the administration has full power of veto might be interpretedas criticism of the entire administration. This struck me as a validreason for the hedge, in some instances, (not in others like theSunday papers) so we moved on. The whole problem of theveto power naturally led to the question about cooperation onthe part of Father McCormick. To this, Tom s,aid that, "Therehas been cooperation in augmenting new ideas, but as for changesin the established order, next to none." One example of a newmatter can be seen each Wednesday in Loyola. (Examples ofestablished order may be seen every night at 11 :15.) A smalltime out was taken in the interview for Tom to lament the lackof funds. It seems likely that the council would have more fundsif the individual delegates would make at least some effort tocollect the dues. Whether this hesitancy is the result of shyness,personality, laziness, or a reaction to the odd handling of theStudent Assessment Tax is a problem that the officers of thecouncil are considering now (and should have been consideringlong ago.) Tom also told me that the paper problem will besolved. Congratulations, it has taken them only five months toarrange that delicate matter. G. S.

Those who attended the Com­munion Breakfast the next day(or after they got up) shouldtake a bow a.t this point. It'spretty amazing that no matterhow many events are packedinto the Winter Carnival therewill always be a good turnoutfor this chance to show thatFairfield as a unit can rise toworthwhile occasions. Feeling alittle pride for this would dono one harm.

The Glee Club Concert effec­tively put the clincher on theWinter Carnival. As usual, theybrought forth a musically bril­liant program under Mr. Har­rack's able direction. There'snothing lik;e going home froma big week-end with our sav-.age breasts all soothed!

Humor, Detail, SurrealismIn Winter Carnival Critique

THE STAG

The following review of the Winter Carnival 1960is a composite of the impressions of three staff writers.The more humorous opinions usually are issued by FredJ. Abbate, Lou Zowine's descriptions deal more withgraphic detail and the surrealistic account of the JazzConcet is that of R. Davis. We start off with the poeticMr. Abbate (the other two writers will chime in whenthe unity of time demands).

A little while ago the Winter~~------------­Carnival happened. A littlewhile ago the Civil War alsohappened. In the minds of many,the events of the former willlive longer than any war couldpossibly live. For the Carnivalwas done on a much largerscale, cost more money and took

I

fewer lives. One other thing ­nobody wanted it to be over.

The week-end really startedrolling to the music of RonnieDrumm. Mr. Drumm backed upjust about every claim themusic world made about him,prostrate saxaphone and all.The sounds were big and thearrangements classic, and itlooks like Drumm is really onhis way.

At 10:30 p.m.• when the lastfew couples had entered. themuch awaited moment arrivedfor the five finalists seeking toreign as Queen of the Carnival.Master of ceremonies.

Withthe large crowd ass e m b 1e daround the bandstand. Joe. timeand again. teased them by usingany means at hand to stall theproceedings. Eventually. he op­ened the envelope 'With the pre­cious name inside: but he stop­ped. momentarily. then to tella joke he had been saving sincehis Freshman year.

The attractive Queenwas presented with a wrist­watch and a miniature dolldressed as a queen. Miss Burke.as well as the other members ofher court. received corsages.

As usual the outcome of thequeen contest confirmed thegood taste of the voters. Thefunny thing about queen con­tests is that her escort is auto­matically king, and people as arule don't think this necessar­ily follows. But the real strokeof genius in the Friday nightsegment of the Carnival wasthe free picture system. Thishad two salient benefits; thepictures were free and wedidn't have to pay for them(except for $.25 which helpspay Arthur Summerfield).

What made the events of Fri­day night more enjoyable wasthe fact that they hardly endedFriday night. I speak here onlyof the Senior Class session, but(if hearsay will be admissible)the others were near-gassersalso. The band playing the gigat the Senior affair was verygood, although their sounds fellon a relatively small numberof ears. But around two o'clockin the morning no one is going

Winter clad tracksters arenow seen dotting the campussprinting on occasion and the~again, jumping the high andlow hurdles that line the cindertrack. These are the men train­ing to represent Fairfield in theindoor competition this March.The majority of them, as canbe noted are veterans of lastfall's cross-country team, whichincidently was the most suc­cessful in the school's history.

Now they are preparing tobetter their previous records.As pre-season reports have it,Coach Ed Tamashunas willprobably rely heavily on theyoung sophomores: Jack Barry,recently named next year'scross-country cap t a i n, LouOckey, Shaun Sullivan and BobMcCarthy. Th e s e graduatesfrom the fall season haveproven their ability for endur­ance in the distance runs andwill no doubt continue to dis­play their talent in that field.

The most responsibility for asuccessful season hinges on thesen i 0 l' co - captains Phil Gal­lagher and Frank Connors .Both these men have seen fouryears of track competition atthe University and possess thepoise and confidence needed tospur on this young team. Eachin his own right is a powerfulrunner' and relied upon to pileup a good share of the team'spoints for the season.

Sprints, hurdles, and the highjump are the open berths on thenew team. However, there isexpectation that they will befilled by three experiencedtrackstel'S in the next fewweeks, namely: Richie Badolato,Pete Hauser, anp Pete Vath.

Stag Spotlight On Art Crawford

"Artie" Crawford, a six-foot-four, one-hundred-and-ninetypound Junior' from the Bronx, New York, is presently the"Stag's" leading scorer ·and rebounding wonder.

Artie is a graduate of St. Anne's Academy (now Molloy) inNew York City, and there he built the foundation for an ex­ceptionally promising basketball career,

Since he came to F:airfield, Artie has developed a variationof shots, which deem him irreplaceable in his post position.His high for the season, thus far, is thirty-four points, which isjust three points short of the team's individual scoring record.Artie's major asset, however, is his extraordinary reboundingability. Ranked as one of the top "small school" rebounders inthe country, he broke his own ·previous high and the schoolrecord against A. 1. C" pulling twenty-eight down from theboards.

In a total of fourteen games, Artie has accumulated two­hundred and fifty-five points, an average of better than eighteenpoints a game, and has scrapped for the possession of two­hundred and fifty-one rebounds, a figure which also balancesout to eighteen a game.

Artie possesses the quality which is much desired by all ball­players, and which is indeed the mark of a truly great ball­player - namely, that of consistency. Frank Hendricks

group instruments, Everyoneseems to be interested in groupsinging, Folk songs and PopStandards, which are the majorundertakings, are easy to sing.Good voices are not a prerequi­site, and it is a great source ofpleasure for the listener as wellas the participants. Those whohad been playing for a fewyears inspired others to take itup and through the process ofa chain reaction, inte-rest grewand is still growing to surpris­ing proportions.

An interesting analysis as re­gards the fad for Folk Music,guitars, and group singing wasgiven by the participants. Forone thing, people are gettingsick and tired of modern musicand are turning toward folkmusic because it is more ex­pressive, the lyrics are colorfuland exciting. and of course theyare easily adaptable to the gui­tar and group singing, On theother hand, it is a relief of ten­sion gettin\~ together with agroup of fellows and singingand playing; for while doingthis the mind can't concentrateon anything else but what isbeing sung or played.

None of the groups intend tomake a career out 0f their newfound talent but I'm sure ifthe opportunity presented it­self, they would not turn downthe money. But right now theyjust consider it a hobby and asource of activity for those dulland boring moments whichseem to frequently crop up dur­ing the course of the semester.

In a frequently wild, occasion­ally confused, but always excit­ing game, Fairfield edged visit­ing Villa Madonna College ofCovington, Ky., 68-65 on thehome boards.

Leading most of the way, theStags were kept under constantpressure by the accurate foulshooting of the California-boundRebels, and managed only aslim.33-31 half-time lead. Thelead changed hands frequentlythroughout the second half untilPat Kelly's jump shot put theStags ahead to stay with a min­ute and twenty seconds remain­·ng. Bill Shin followed with twofouls to ice Fairfield's sixth vic­tory of the season.

UPSALA

Fairfield travelled to East Or­ange, New Jersey, last weekriding on a three game winstreak. But the home town Up­sala Vikings had a streak oftheir own going, as they hadwon 11 straight. How they at­tained that streak was soon tobe shown to the Stags. In whatwas one of the poorest reffedgames of the season, Fairfieldlost 90-74. No one from Fairfieldfouled out of the game, but theStags had walking and palmingcalled against them at least 20times. Upsala is a big team anddominated the bo<irds.

By T. UNGERLANDCongratulations are in order for retiring sports editor Bill

Kramer who did an excellent reporting job on the sports sceneduring the last year. We only hope in the future to be able tosound as professional and polished as Bill has in the past.

Fulfilling the thoughtful prediction of the famous Daytoncoach, J. Blackburn, ("a lean and hungry ball club is always awinner"), the Fairfield University Stags fast broke their way totheir fourth victory in five outings. Top physical condition of thestarting players seemed to be the main reason, along with 40minutes of constant defensive pressure led by Bob Jenkins. Anumber of offensive innovations cons,isting of well rehearsed"picks" and "cuts", plus timely substitutions by Coach GeorgeBisacca have made the past few games a pleasure to watch andundoubtedly will make the remaining ones easy marks in thewin column.

In recent weeks, the N.C.A.A. officials have been seriouslydebating a new rule which has been titled "no harm, no foul".Such an alteration of the present system would be a blow to amedium sized team as Fairfield. Essentially, this new regulationwould state that unless the player who was fouled, lost possessionof the ball or missed an attempted shot, no whistle would beblown. The reason for the initiation of such a rule is obvious,to eliminate the time-consuming foul shot. In many cases, a foulcalled on a defensive man during a full court press is no morethan a slap on the wrist and a whistle for a violation at thispoint is anlfoying to both ballplayers and spectators. What mustbe considered, however, is a team of small or medium size whocould be literally pushed off the court by a stronger and tallerclub as long as there was no harm according to the referees. Itcould be accomplished without any violation of the rules on thepart of the more powerful club. From our impressions here atFairfield, it seems as though a worthy addition to the college ruleinstead, would be the new pro-regulation eliminating all foulshots due to defensive fouls in back court and simply assigninga personal foul to the player committing the infringement.

Now that the intramurals are underway, there is a steadystream of students wending their way to the gym nearly everyafternoon between 4:30 and 6:45. (Pity the teams that play the5:45 game-no dorm dinner). Both off-campus boarders and dayhops get their chance this season and upsets have been frequentand devastating. We also understand that John Creed's new "20Point Club" has replaced the Cardinal Key as the thing to be in,around campus.

A few highlights of the past week: Art Crawford broke theschool rebound record with 28 against A.LC. . . . Bob (Moose)MacMurray has donated his private pool table to the ping-pongroom in the gym. It should be installed within the next week.Joe Cannizzaro, Junior class president, has turned fishermanwith Tony Cuomo and Bob Brady. Joe hooked a large 28 poundCod fish off the Long Island Coast and Peter the chef did thehonors, Friday night.
