Vandalism Forces
Deli Re-Organization
by Philip McGinty
An increasing incidence of theft
at the student deli has resulted in
a change in setup of the business,
according to John Fitzgerald, Pre-sident
of the Student Market, Inc.
All deli items will now be sold
from behind the counter upon re-quest
of the patrons. An itemized
list of all deli products and their
prices will also be displayed above
the counter for the students' con-venience.
Fitzgerald informed that he
became aware of the stealing pro-blem
when the deli's revenue was
not covering the planned ex-penses.
Thereafter, he and other
deli employees began to catch
students stealing soda, potato
chips, cookies, and numerous
other concealed items.
Stolen items from last semester
totaled between $200 and $300.
Fitzgerald estimates that last
semester some forty to fifty per-cent
of small items were stolen on
busy weekend nights. Much of the
stolen merchandise was taken
during stealing contests held by
students on specific floors in the
dorms.
Between fifteen and twenty stu-dents
were caught stealing items
last semester, informed Fitz-gerald.
He added that security of-ficers
have been called in to assist
the deli employees on busy
nights. Although no one has been
turned in for theft yet, Fitzgerald
stated that he would turn a culprit
into Student Services if the situa-tion
demanded it.
Fitzgerald concluded by empha-sizing
that the deli is a non-profit
student service whose objective is
to "provide the best quality food
at the lowest prices at a time when
students want it the most."
Due to an increasing number of thefts at the deli, Student Market President John Fitzgerald has changed around
the setup of the business to discourage stealing. {Photo by Duane Bailey]
FUSA Prepares Pamphlet Of Suggestions
by Rich Swietek
In an effort to evaluate school
policies and clarify confusion
about university programs and
procedures, FUSA is preparing a
pamphlet in which it hopes to
define and outline proposals for
students, while offering construc-tive
criticism for administrators.
Groundwork for the pamphlet
began with meetings which took
place November 15 and 16 of last
semester. Officers of FUSA met
one at a time with a group of ad-ministrators
and teachers, in-cluding
Fr. Aloysius P. Kelley,
President of Fairfield, and Mr.
William P. Schimpf, Vice-Presi-dent
of Student Services. Ques-tions
were asked of each ad-ministrator
dealing with topics
such as academics, tenure, core
requirements, registration and
financial planning. From the com-ments
of these individuals FUSA
will develop their own sugges-tions
and comments on these and
four or five other major areas.
According to Jeanne Cuscione,
Vice-President of FUSA, tenure is
one program that the board will
discuss in-depth, because many
students don't fully understand
the subject. At present, a teacher
must work at Fairfield for six years
after which, if he or she is approv-ed
according to teaching, re-search
and service records, the
teacher receives tenure. If not ap-proved,
the teacher must stay on
one extra year with the university
before going elsewhere. Under the
same heading the board also
plans to favor wider recruitment of
teachers with an emphasis on
minority teachers.
Another high priority item will
be improving financial aid. With
money being as tight as it is, and
with school costs on the rise, ad-ministrators
feel they should help
make the school more affordable
for students. One major problem
is that endowments to Fairfield
are small in comparison with other
schools, and since they are a ma-jor
factor in instituting scholar-ships
and financial aid, improve-ment
may be some time in com-ing.
Dean Schimpf mentioned other
areas in which the university
hopes to improve in the near
future. An upgrading of the wo-men's
sports program and a more
well-developed fine-arts cur-riculum
head the list, along with a
new registration program which
will be implemented next year.
Due to this new system the board
will wait and see how the new
operation works, before making
any comments concerning
registration.
Other concerns still being dis-cussed
include increasing study
space, improving teacher-student
relations, and an attempt to
discuss with the registrar a pro-gram
to make clear on a year by
year basis exactly what require-ments
are necessary for specific
majors. As Ms. Cuscione com-mented,
"We don't think it's too
much to ask, to know what
courses and requirements we
need to graduate."
At the present moment the pam-phlet
is still in the planning stages
and won't be released until pro-bably
the end of the semester. A
meeting is scheduled today in
order to discuss more ideas. FUSA
feels with the information con-tributed
by administrators they
will arrive at some constructive
evaluations, but as Ms. Cuscione
stated, "Everything is going to
have to be resolved gradually."
Jesuit Organization Begins
by Bryan LeClerc
As the result of a campaign pro-mise,
Andy McGowan, FUSA Pre-sident,
has created the Organiza-tion
of Jesuit Universities in the
North East, dubbed OJUNE.
This assembly, consisting of
representatives form Fairfield
University, Boston College, Ford-ham
University, the University of
Scranton, and possibly George-town
University and Loyola Univer-sity,
will be meeting here at Fair-field
on February 14 and 15. Those
coming will consist of the respec-
RA Applications Now Being Accepted
by Marguerite Downing
Phyllis Fitzpatrick, Director of
Student Residences, has an-nounced
the availability of Resi-dent
Advisor applications and the
procedures to be taken for
students interested in taking RA
positions for next year.
The applications were made
available on January 26, and will
continue to be until February 11 in
the Housing Office. Sophomore
and Juniors with a minimum Q.P.
of 2.3 are invited to apply, accor-ding
to Mrs. Fitzpatrick.
There are thirty-five resident ad-visor
positions to fill, with a small
number taken by second year
RA's. Last year, 108 students ap-plied,
according to Mrs. Fitz-patrick.
There will be a two hour work-shop
pertaining to the details of a
Resident Advisor position and the
application process on February 8
at 3:30 in the Nursing Auditorium.
There the Director and Assistant
Director of Housing will inform
students of the details.
There are two interviews involv-ed
in the process. All applicants
are interviewed individually first.
Later, all applicants return for the
second interview which is a group
interview where four or five ap-plicants
are interviewed together.
The selection committee will be
made up of twelve people: 2 Head
Resident Advisors; Jackie Beard,
Advisor to Minority Students; 2
Housemasters; the Director and
Assistant Director of Housing;
and four to five students selected
by FUSA president Andy Mc-
Gowan and Vinny Ferrante. Any
students interested in being part
of the selection committee should
contact either Andy McGowan or
Vinny Ferrante.
According to Phyllis Fitzpatrick,
a complete list of all applicants
will be distributed prior to the final
decision. At this time, Mrs. Fitz-patrick
stated, any student can
make either positive or negative
recommendations regarding an
applicant. Mrs. Fitzpatrick pointed
out that this is an important factor
in the final decision made.
five student government presi-dents
along with several other stu-dents
from each school. At least
one underclassman will be in-cluded
in each group to see that
OJUNE will be carried on in the
future.
The purpose of the organization
is to bring together students from
the same type of universities for
the common cause of finding out
about different aspects of campus
life and administration. At the
group's first meeting the main
point of the agenda will be to get
to know everyone else and to set
up the OJUNE charter.
Discussions will be had regar-ding
the way certain aspects of
the different schools are working.
Practices and regulations in the
area of liquor and entertainment
will be discussed along with athle-tics.
Notes will be compared on
how each school handles reaching
