THE STA&

Challenge of Leadership Letters To The Editor

Academic Excellence

Plauged by ineffectual leader­ship at the very top, the StudentGovernment has evidenced anobvious lack of direction thisyear. The executive branch.which should be responsible forsupplying this direction, hasfailed.

It has failed because its Presi­dent, Mr. David Bannon. hasJacked initiative and follow-up.Not more than 10% of the billsintroduced into the legislaturehave come from the executivebranch. Projects which shouldhave been handled by the execu­tive hl'8och have either not beendone, or have fallen to the legis­lature to do. Students have notyet received their copies of theconstitution. The legislature hashad to undertake the food 8u.r­vey and has had to assume theburden of collecting the unpaidactivities fees. No initiativewas taken on the mixer prob­lem, resulting in an administra­tion directive.

It has failed because its Presi­dent, Mr. David Bannon, hasmade very poor use of the ex­ecutive committees. The largeturnover in personnel in thisbranch is indicative of its prob­lems. Some appointments havebeen poor choices and reek of"spoils system" politics. Themost flagrant example is the ap­pointment of Mr. Michael Grif­fin as Social Chainnan. Not onlyis he the President's roommate,but he was a dubious choice be­cause of a seeming conflict of in-

Most of the present furorover the number of probationscenters around the Office of theDean. Could this readjustmentbe cited as a cause of many onacademic probation"

For the first time this officeissued extensive lists of those onprobation to all prefects andteachers, as well as warningnotes to students and parents.This is part of the plan to in­crease awareness of the basicpurpose of the Univenity, ed­ucation.

The school is in the processof gradual change as regardacademic standards and proce­dures, designed to make the stu­dent better educated and moreresponsible. The change fromsix to five courses was accom­panied by a request to all teach­ers to increase the work load.The grading system was chang­ed from 40 gradations of passingto 4 gradations, and finally theunlimited cut system was intro­duced to allow the student morefreedom.

Undoubtedly these changeshave had an avene effect onsome students. However, itwould be ridiculous to thwartlong range goals simply to passa few people.

A student who was caught bythe unlimited cut system can

terest. Mr. Griffin is a prominentmember of the Bleach Boys anda member of GUM productions.The Chainnan of the executivecommittee, Mr. RUMelJ Keller­man, has distinguished himselfonly by his inactivity. The entirebranch suffers from lack ofgoals and direction. The grouphas met only four times thisyear and there is little, if any,communication among them.

It has failed because its Presi­dent, Mr. David Bannon, has notregarded his position as a fulltime job. He has served as seni­or delegate (one of the mostprominent positions) for thecampus chapter of C.I.S.L. More­over, he went on a time consum­ing campaign on several cam­puses running for Speaker of theHouse on the state level. Al­though holding office in anotherclub is prohibited by the consti­tution, he was able to do this bya legal technicality - C.I.S.L.is part of a defunct club whichhas no legal status as such. Thisfact put Mr. Bannon in an awk­ward position when he appearedat a legislative meeting to ob­tain additional funds for thisactivity.

The STAG hopes that Mr. Ban­non will accept this criticism inthe spirit in which it is offeredand begin to supply the neces­sary direction, now lacking, tothe Student Government. Weurge him to make the best useof the remaining time to servethe students that elected him.

hardly blame the system, andclearly no one wishes to changethis system, although a few peo­ple wiII be lost in adjustingthemselves to it.

The question of professors us­ing devious means to insure fullattendance at their class is asubject to be treated at a laterdate.

The increased work load is al­ways something unpleasant toadjust to, but for the majorityit has not become overburden­in~. Upgrading of academicstandards can have only bene·ficial effects in the long run. TheDean stressed the fact that for15 hours of c1asswork a week atleast 30 hours or homeworkshould be necessary.

The new Q. P. has also beenblamed. It is the system in usein most colleges and is requiredby graduate schools. The ques­tion arises, however, that thereare too few gradations, and aB+ or C+ should be added. Wefeel that this would help peoplein individual courses. The Deanmaintains that it would makethe mark for a single course abit more accurate, but over afour period a penon's exact per­fonnance can easily be assessed.

While these changes in theDean's office may be a remotecause for some of the difficultiesthe main causes do not He there:

J)(!ar Father Reddy:

I was shocked to read an articlewritten by a student under your con·trol that was not only false but mali­cious. I realize that students are, andshould be, given a certain amount 0(

freedom and also that it is better forthem to make their mistakes while in;;chool rather than when they graduate.!'he "Stag" is a publication that goes

beyond the campus and It is encwnbentupon you to ascertain the \'8lidity of!ln,)' artic:le that may affect the mageof Fairfield University. This is parUc:u­

larly true today when condemnationsare rampant and semantie warfare isevident.

This is not to be construed as a de­

fense of our Accounting and BusinessDepartment faculty, as condemned by

one! Frank Cunningham, rather It re~l'escnts some! salient featul"etl of Dr.DiRenzo's report that an astute editorcould have obtained without any pro­longed research.

The Buainess Department, per $C',

was not individually rated. An anaIyajsor the questionnaire and of the reportlseIf wUl prove this. 5eaDdIy, of the

twenty-seven (2'7) bus.lness ItUdentssurveyed BeVen (7) had oever had anyclassroom contact with members ofour department. se\'eD (7) had dais­room conln'"t with oaJ;y one man sothat more than IUt)· perceal (50*) ofthe business students SW'W')"ed hadc:lassroom contact with leu than ftfteenpercent (15%) of the Business Depart·ment faculty.

I am proud of our faculty who bringto Fairfield University an immeJ\S(!amount of practical experience notonly in their profession but also inmarried life. These same men have awealth of teaching experience and aregentlemen and solid citizens. I am alsoproud of their loyalty to the Universityand to the Department de8pJte physicaland ftna.ncial hardships... I am equallyproud of our students who have with·stood the high demands our facultyplaces upOn them and to our graduateswho have done 50 wen lJl life and havemaintained their Ioy&1ty to the UnJ·\'erslty and to the Department.

1t has taken a number of yean togain recognition as a Bus1ness Depart­ment that produces quality students,~tudents who are not only knowledge­able but who posses the characteristicsof initiative, leadership, bone$ty andloyalty, students who are GENTI.&­MEN in every respect of the word. AnindicaUon of this recognjUon Is foundin the many firms competing for ourseniors and also in the professionalstatus obtained by our graduates. Wemust be doing something right.

We welcome constructive crlt1cism atprogram with respect to subject matterall times and constantly rev1l!W ourand teaching methods. It is most un­fortunate that Mr. CUnn1ngham's re­pOrt on the "Student Image of Falr­lteld University" was allowed to be pub­lished.

VOICE FROMTHE PASTTo the Editor of the 8TAG:

I read with puzzlement Mr. Ped­dicord's letter "Dear Grace" maligningthe Fairfield Men of the early 1950's,and the education they received. (Stag2/23/66). Since they do not have theopportunity to speak for themselves,which they would do with competence,may I play the Good Samaritan? TheAuthor of all TnJth has w:Isely advisedus, "by their fruits you shall knowthem". A beloved American has sug·gested a mature, bnpanlal procedure,"let's look at the record." Lou has ap­parently done a capable job of researchinto the early issues of the STAG.May I suggest that he make an equallycapable research job Into the statusof these same men in 1966. Choose yourov.'O criteria of success in life. Lou.onl)' let them be noble. TIlen in simplejustice make known to "Dear Grace'"the results of )'OW' search. I know you~iU 1earn that most of these success·ful men also will be proud to be knownas MEN OF FAIRFIELD. If, fifteen)urs from now, the new breed 0{

today have surpassed the old breed insuccessful living by your chosen cri­teria, then the record will, indeed,ahow that Fairfield University madeprogress in 1966.

A twig from the old, but unwltheredvine.

March 9, 1966

I wonder sometimes about Fairfield - abcJut what she is,and about where she's going, 1 wonder about the type Of IItudentshe as about his intt'llectuality, his goals and his principles. Iwonde~ about the members of Falrfleld's faculty - the degreeof their competence, the degree to which they extend themselvesto inspire their students. and the efforts they make to !cachstudents something worthwhile, 1 wonder about the .adml~lStra­tlon, too. I don', question their competence, or their desire tobuild a good school, nor their concern for the student ... butI do wonder about their method.Oi, their attitude towards thestudcnts, and their respect for the rlght~ and lDt~ty Of thosestudents.

'Iliat there are detects in the student body and faculty here,t would not begin 10 deny, nor would I play them down as trivial01' insignificant , .. far from It. What is bothering me. mostat this time, however, Is the administration. There is m thepresent policies of the administration. I think, a bas~c la~ ofrcspcet for the rights of students. Generally speakmg,. littleroom s('(!ms 0 be allowro for individualism, self-expresSion orgrowth ill inLCllectuulism. More specifically and to mustra~e mypoint: the student has little freedom of ~ovement .or ac.tlo~ ­note for example room checl,s, off-corndor pen1l.lts, SIgn-Ins,sign-outs, late Iight.<; - we are not even allowed to throw ~ow·

balls! There also seems to be little or no regard for our prIVacy_ we have been Informed (told Is a better word) that we are~ubjccl to rnndom room checks by prefects . , . something Iconsider to be a nagrant abuse Of personal rights. The clotheswe wear to our cafeteria are now being closely supervised - ourpolicemen-t)'lle prefects have rccei"ed orders to more strietlyenfOrce the rules of the handbook in this regard - and theyare doing so. (This handbook, incidentally, was revised by thestudents last year _ but somchow many of their revisions seemto haw' been overlooked),

All these regulations and more have been in eftect, recentlyimposed, or newly enfOrced in the past months. But it is noteven the particular regulations Cthe necessity for which can beargued) that bothers me so much as the general attitude theyconvey. Students have not been consulted on any of the recent"promUlgations," nor on the enforcements of old rules that havecome into effect. We have been treated as chllclrf'n, and I, forone, deeply resent it.

The cry' Of the administration, faculty and students alikeat the end of last year and the beginning of this was of theneed for dialogue _ for communication, cooperation and under­standing between all three groups - and especially betweenadministration and students, A leadership conference was heldin $cptember. and at it this need was stressed, An attempt wasalso made at this conference to set new ~nts and opennew channels for said dialogue. What a disappoinment thisse<!ms ali to be _ dialogue is useless and absurd when It appearsthat one side is not listening.

The problem is a serious one - and 1 think our handling orit In the coming months will have a great e«ect on the futurecaliber Of this university. The problem Is also a very complexone the blame for the present situation at this school mustbe laid at the door of the students also - for in many waysthey hav£:' not shown themselves ready to accept the reepoul·bltttle!l necessarily accompanying all ri«hb. I do believe, how­ever, that if progress is to be made It must occur on both sidessimultaneously. Responsible student leaders must step forth andre-establish dialQKue with the administration. At the same timethe administration must show itself willing to listen and respectthese students - {or this Is an academic community, and all Itsparts are essential for growth and progress.

Positive suggestions? 1 would stress above all, Grace, thatstudents and administrators give grave consideration and runsupport to the new Student Bill of Rlrhts - for which a com·mission has been drawn up and on which work is presentlyproceeding. A revamping has to be made in the Student Govern­ment - key issues must be discussed and some acth'e and IDtel,Illrent leadership {on the part of members}, and interest (on thepart of the student body) must be shown. I think also that wewill have to make a careful study of the setup of the StudentCOUl·t _ Its prescnt policies and functions are worse than asham. The areas for improvement stretch ad InAnltum - wehave much to do ' , ,

The situation at the present moment is serious - ... kItow,But I do not lIPPro\'f', And I am not resipf'd." (Edna St. Vin­cent Milia)'),

H1a concern Is with the un­suspecting marital partner rath­er than the active participant,In this case it is the wife,Juliet, whose increasing aware­ness of her husband's infidelityforms the basis of this movie.

Juliet's loss is our gain. Wenot only see the events from anobserver's objective viewpoint,but follow and share Juliet'sthoughts as she experiencesthem. The area of the subcon­scious has long fascinated Fel­lini, and he has never found amore clear expression than inthis film.

Thoughts, remembrances, andwishes, are all presented. Here-­in ties a main problem of inter­pretation. It becomes the au­dJence's task to follow the mindof Juliet throughout her searchfor an answer to her problems.However, once this is done, thetum Is only more clarified andmeaningful.

President's Academy • Poor SpiritThe President's Academy, a

group of students meeting incouncil with Fr. McInnes twicea month, has been beset withpoor attendance. Only 4 of the19 members attended last Mon­day's session.

A member is allowed two ab­senCf!S before he is asked toleave. The main objective of thisrule according to Fr. McInnesis to "have the members showan interest in the organization".

But Fr. McInnes denied thatthe Academy is breaking up,"not if he could help it." Thebig difficulty, he pointed out,"was the time it took studentsto act in a group with other

Governmenft

students." '''The only way toaccomplish anything is to con·vince the leaders that the)'should take part in the thingsleft to the small minority oncmnpus."

Fr. McInnes said that "heenjo)'s the Academy and feelsthat it is vel")' valuable in beinga dired line of communicationbetween the Students and thePresident". He pointed out thatthe Bill of Rights was startedfrom discussion in the Academy.

\'/hen asked if the Academ)'was a means to appease the stu­dents .....ith a voice in the ad­ministration. Fr. ::\felnnes re­jected this saying "it is aninsult for students to be ap­peased."

Fr. MclJmes compared theAcademy to the Academic Coun-

The Editor Speaks

Over the past weekend Fairfield University's bas­ketball program was handed an unjust ins~)t whenthe Stags were ovel'looked br the NI~ selection com­mittee. The main goal of thiS team smce the seasonbegan had been a berth in the New York ~ournament.Facing as tough a schedule as anyone III the. ~st;Fairfield met all comers, mostly on the oPPosItionshome coul1. Despite this rough schedule and severaltragedies, their 19-5 won-lost record was one of thefinest in the East. This mark was better than all butoue of the teams selected by the committee for thetournament.

I think it would be well at this time to clarify afew points concerning this tournament and its selec­tion committee. This tournament was begun over 20years ago by the New York sports writers in ~onjunc­lion with Madison Square Garden Corporation. Forvarious reasons they were forced to give control tothe Metropolitan Conference whic.h was, in eff.ect, re­turning it. t.o the colleges. It is thlS group which hascontrolled the tournament to the present day.

The selection committee for the NIT waa orilin­aUy compoaed of athletic directors from the membeTschook In an effort to give a more natiooal outlookto this seven-men committee, they made three spobavailable to Eastern colleces on a ODe year baais.However hidden behind this facade rernaina the hardcore gro~p of four pennanent members which is com­prised of the athletic directors of Fordham, New YorkUniversity, St. John's and Manhattan.

As should be obvious from the recent selections,it is this group which makes the ultimate decisions asto who will be invited. As one basketball observernoted, "It's their party and they will invite who theywant to." The invitations extended to such dubiouschoices as N,Y.U.,Manhattan and the runner-up inthe Yankee Conference tend to bear the truth of L.I.U.Athletic Director Buck Lai's quip that "there seemto be no invitations without representation."

At Monday's sports writers luncheon in NewYork, Coach Bisacca gave a very dignified appraisalof Fairfield's position and ended by asking John Bachif he could give any explanation why Fairfield wasnot extended an im·itation.

MI'. Bach, obviously shaken by the question andunsure of his position, retorted that he was only onemember of the committee. He rambled on throughan unintelligible explanation which caused laughter(!'Om the spOIis writers. Mr. Bach explained that thecommittee used a cross-country ballot, whereby thefll'8t choice would receive three points, the second twopoints, and the third choice would deserve one point.Bach said that Fairfield received thirteen votes tofinish behind Villanova which had fourteen.

Thus Fairfield was the fifteenth team in a four·t~en team field. However. this statement waa reSectedby Mr. Bach himself when he later stated that Brad­ley was originally given the bid, but they rejected theoffer. He said that the committee then turned toWichita. We-II, Mr. Bach, what happened to Fairfieldwhich was .upposedly yoUr next choice?

1\11'. Bisacca sought to find out why the Univer­sity of Connecticut had been extended a bid whenMr. Ken NOlton of Manhattan had said that U. Conn,would not be considered ahead of Fairfield. Mr. Nor­ton explained that when the committee met 011 Fridaythey decided that it would be an insult to the YankeeConference to say that the NIT would accept thesunner-up only if it were Rhode Island. Therefore theyfelt it was necessary to extend an invitation to theloser of Friday's game. Mr. Bisacca said that he feltthis explanation was sufficient.

No matter how many explanations are offered toFairfield, the fact still remains tbat we were deniedan invitation which all Fairfield observers felt that werightly deserved. Now we must show the NIT sel~

tion committee that we are above the petty policieswhicb they use a. a guide in aelecting the teams.

Silence may be golden, but this injustice is toogreat to go unnoticed, I think it would be of benefitto both our universitv and baaketball fu.ture if Webring this iuue to the attention of the New Yorknewspapers and magazines. However, Fairfield's rep.utation and cause can only be furthered if a mature­outloc.k i. taken in this regard. Anything done in poortaste wiJl only serve to intenaify the animwity of ourcritics. No matter what is said or done, Fairfield willnot be in the NIT this year. Our intention is that thistype of injustice and inault will not perpetrated onFairueld or any other college when the committeemeets next year.

By Ra;rmood :l\lcDerlnottThe Rugby Club began work­

ing out this past Monday underthe leadership or Co-e8ptainsTom Peddicord and Jay KirwinIn preparation tor Its upcomingspring season. The openinggame pits a rematch againstHoly Cross, the team whichspoiled the then undefeatedstring of the Fairfield A squadby a S-3 score, and thC!n wenton to defeat the B team 3-0.

I know everyone here is probably more interested in hearingfrom the roaches of those teams that were im;ted to the 1\'lTthan from the teams that were not.

HO\\'ever, I feel that I couldn't have much respect for my.6Clf as a coach nor could I expect my players to havc any re­spect for me if I did not speak up on their behalf here today.

What I have to say all began at the beginning of our bas­ketball season. At that time I was confronted by a group ofeager young ballplayers who had one objective in mind - tomake the NIT.

Not only wcre oW' ballplayers all cnthused about the pos­aibility of a toumament bid but so were our students and allof our loyal fans.

To achieve this goal, we had put together as tough aschcdule as any team in the East. And the challenge we facedwas as exciting as any young ballplayers could hope it to be.At that time I told my boys that there was only one way to getinto the NIT and that was to win. They believed me and theywent out and ...."Orked harder than I thought was humanlypossible for them.

They worked and they .....on - they won big - 19 times,and they lost only 5 times. They did that in the face of all kindsor adversities which I will not bore you with today.

I was and I nm proud of what they accomplished. Butsomehow I ClIn't help but feel I've let them down and thtll I'velet our students and fans down,

When the NIT selcction committee began to pick its teams,we saw them start with clubs that had great won-lost records.

We were 16-4 at the time nnd we .....ere hopeful they wouldsoon invite us. This opinion was shared by most of the news­papers and even by such important magazines as SportsIIIwnrated.

We were proud to see our team called "one of the leadingindependents in the East" and to see our record described as"one of the best marks in the country."

Then gradually. in the last t.....o weeks .....e began to be con­fused at the events which took place. Teams with poorer recordsand what seemed like weaker schedules began to receive in­vitations while we waited patiently.

My boys came to me and asked me what was going on. Itried to give them logical answers, I told them these teamswhich were being invited were very good teams and should beinvited, I told thcm we should not begrudge anyone clse fromgetting In but just try harder to gel in ourselves and that thebest way to do that was to keep winning.

Once again, they believed me and they won 3 of our last 4games so that we finished with a 19-5 record.

Finally, last Saturday morning when we were still hopefulfor a bid, I ran out of things to tell them. That morning .....e readIn our local papers that the University of Connecticut. afterlosing to Rhode Island the night before and finishing up 16-8,had received an invitation and declined It.

All of us at Falrfleld, including my plB.}-ers, knew that Con­necticut had a great team and had had a wonderful season andon that basis we know that they undoubtedly did deserve theInvitation they received.

But my boys asked me questions I could not answer. Sucbas "if Connecticut deserved a bid why don't we."

Didn't we beat all of the mutual opponents Connecticuthad lost to. "Weren't we rated ahead of Connecticut In cveryUPI and AP poll in New England and lastly isn't our record of19-5 better than their record of 1l).8?"

This then is the only reason I'm down here today becauseI cannot give these boys a good answer _ and having seen howhard and long they .....orked this year I think lowe them one.

Al; I said last week, we've probably got a lot to learn aboutNIT selections, but we're willing to learn. And so today I'd liketo ask John Bach as committee ehalnnan if he can give mesome reason why .....e were not selected so I could bring thatreason back to my boys before they lose all faith In me and Inthe integrity of college sports.

Making the experts stand up and take notice isno easy chore but this year's Fairfield club has sur­prised even the most optimistic hoop buffs. A greatdeal of credit for this achievement goes to CoachGeorge Bisacca, whose coaching know·how has, intwo years, rocketed Fairfield from a Tri-8tate leaguepower into genuine big-time prominence. If Bisacca'ssteadily increasing success in the past eight yearshere at Fairfield is any sign of things to come, there'sjust no telling how far this resourceful young coachcan take us.

PreaeDtly on campus there'. a prevalent feelingc.f bitterness due to an uDeJl:plainable .nub by theN.I.T. board. The incident haa aroused indignationfrom Coach Biaacea rilht on down to the last Stagon campus. There'. no doubt th.t the team merited.an N.I.T. berth however. it would be unfair to usethis as a yard .stick for .UceeN aDd let it over.hadowthe team'. tremendow accompliahment.. during the.eason.

Coach Bisacca expressed his utmost satisfactionwith the team's effort and noted that if we continueto display the ability of the past seaSOn there's littledoubt that Fairfield will find tournament bids, N,I.T.and otherwise, waiting for it at the seasons end.

Another point W1>rth mentioning is that the verysame men who selected this year's N.I.T. field will beback again next year. Therefore, a word to the wiseshould be sufficient for those contemplating any rashwords or foolish action. Perhaps patience and per­sen'erance are what it will take to realize our goals.

Finally, at seasons end Fairfield finds itself in aprecarious position in the collegiate basketball pic­ture, We want tough competition yet already suchopponents as Duquense, Xavier and Villanova haveexpressed reluctance to meet us again next year.Coach Bisacca will soon be attending an NCAA sched.ule-makin!C convention in Washington and told methat he will be out to latch onto any team willing toplay us, but preferably the bigger clubs. By the sametoken however, the powerhouse teams know there's apretty fair chance of getting shellacked by Fairfieldand are less than eager to meet us on the hardwood.

AU in all however. the outlook baa to be a brightone. De-pite all the ob.tades you can't keep a goodteaDl down aDd there'. no doubt that Fairfield is onthe way up. We've had a areat aea.aon and we can!oak forward to many more of the same. So to those10 the Stag. way, LOOK OUT!

IGREEN COMETDINER

Last Thursday night MikeBranch received one or theloudest, wannest, and most pro-Ill ;!)longed ovations e\'er given acollegiate basketball player, and

it was richly deseJVt'd. This wasMike's last game in a Fairfielduni(onn and he made it one wewill never (orget as he domin·

ated the contest scoring 24

points and grabbing 24 re­_.

At the Assumption game thispast season all was nonnalwhen SUddenly there was aclash of cymbals from noneother than Mr. Branch himselfas he joined the Stag fans,. oc.cupying his usual place in themidst of the die-heart Fairfieldrooters. Mr. Branch has evenInitiated his own cheer (Let'sgo FairFIELD) which has beenentJlIwastica11y picked up bythe rest of the Stag fans. Thisshould come as no surprise tous because he certainly hassomething to cheer about anda son to be proud of.

MIke is In the Liberal Artscourse and is majoring in Ec0­nomics. His improved grades infirst semester have been attrib­uted by some to the steadyingInfluence of his roommate JohnMcGovern, who was continuallysetting a good example for him.

IT there is one incident thatwill be remembered about Mike.It would be that of last Thurs­day. For despite being vislbl)'overwhelmed wiUl the emotionpacked scene following thegame, he remInded everyonethat there was someone whoshould be standing right alongside him during those momentsof glory. But that's the wayMike is and, on behalt ot ourappreciative student body, wewould like to wish Mike bestot luck In the tuture and con­gratulate him on a job welldone at Fairfield. L . ....:. _

When Mike was removedfrom the game with four min­utes to go, the gym shook withthe thunderous applaute of theever-spirited Stag fans whowere paying tribute to MIkefor his fantastic collegiate car­eer at Fairfield. At the finalbuzzer Stag fans stormed thefloor and hoisted Mike up ontheir shoulders and, as he tookdown the nets, excitement andexpectation for the NIT ranthrough the crov.'d.

Mike hails from Hillhouse-i High School in New Haven,

Conn., where he earned all­

Slate schoolboy laurels. Heholds several Fairfield individ_ual scoring marks, includingmost points In a single season.He scored 529 as a sophomore.

Branch, just shy of six-three,was the nation's eighth rankingrebounder last year with a 16plus average and duplicated thefeat this year, again ranking inthe naUon's top ten. Last sea.son Mike led the team in freethrow percentage (83%) andfield goal percentage (47%) be­fore being declared scholastic­all)' ineligible for the secondsemester.

Branch

By Richard Peck

"What a way to go 1" This old cliche sums up the fine effolt putforth by :'i1ikeBranch in the final game of his varsity career at Fail"fleld. Mike excelled in allphases of the game as he led the Stags to a 111-60 win ovel' the University ofBI;dgepOit. The senior co-captain led all scorers with twenty·foul' points andgrabbed in an amazing twcnty·four rebounds. Besides his tremendous offensiveeffOlt, :\like held the Purple Knight high scorer Bill O'Dowd in check throughoutthe contest,

When :\1ike left the game with four minutes remaining, he received one ofthe finest tributes ever paid to an athlete. The student body altel'llftted betweenthunderous applause and chants beseech ing Coach Bisacca to put Mike back intothe contest for approximately fifteen minutes. Finally he returned for thefinal seventeen seconds of thegame and picked olr three re.bounds before the final buzzerended his career. Spontaneouslythe Stag supporters rushed ontothe court and carried Mike tothe basket where he cut downthe nets. The exuberant fansalso carrled their number onerooter, Mr. Branch to join Mikeat the foul line when' the c0­

captain presented one of thenets to his father.

Not onl)' did Mike receivethe accolades of his Fairfieldsupporters, but the E.C.A.G.saw tit to name him as an AUEast selection for the secondconsecuth'c week.

Pre.Game StrateqyThe pre-game show may ha"e

proved better than the actualcontest itself. In a battle ofpsychological strategy. CoachBruce Webster did not allowhis chargers to enter the gymuntil twenty minutes beforegame time. Alter they dressed.Bridgeport remained in thelocker rOOl1l. so they wouldn'tbe subject to the Stags "dunk­ing drill which Mr. Websterfelt might demoralize his team.

Meanwhile Fairfield's Coach,George Blsaeca held his teamIn the locker room awaitingthe Knights appearance on thecourt. He was detl'lTl1incd tohold out and win the battleof nerves.

The third party, the specla­tors. who were mostly Fairfieldl'tudents fOlTl1ed a line fromtheir locker room door all theway down the court. Theychanted in unison "Come out,U.B.. come out."

U. B. Gives InFinally Bridgeport ga\'e In

and came out for their pre·game warm-up. On this occa­sion Bridgeport not only lostthe battle, but also the war.

The Stag rooters showedclear insight Into the situationas they clamored, "it's all over",before the contest even began.

Mike Branch took the open­ing tap and fired in a short
