On Eagles'Wings
Former BC asst. to coach Stags
BY ALI BART
For more than a month, the specula-tion
grew by the day. It appeared at times
that several different candidates would
become the next men's basketball coach
at Fairfield.
But on Tuesday morning the uncer-tainty
officially came to an end when for-mer
Boston College Assistant Ed Cooley
was introduced as Fairfield's eleventh
head coach.
Cooley, 36, fills the vacancy that
opened on March 3 when former Head
Coach Tim O'Toole announced that the
university had decided not to renew his
contract. He is the first black head coach
in school history.
"I hope that we can bring some suc-cess
to this program that you haven't seen,"
Cooley said at a press conference in the
Barone Campus Center lobby. "I want to
make sure that each and every one of you
here know how proud arid how apprecia-tive
we are as a family and as a basketball
staff... and that we will not accept anything
less than 100 percent from our players on
and off the floor."

Total '06-'07 sticker price to total $4lK
BY RYAN BLAIR
Fairfield University Vice President
of Finance Bill Lucas announced a 5.3%
increase in tuition and room and board fees
for the 2006-2007 school year at a presen-tation
on March 29 to student leaders.
"We're happy to report that the
increase is lower than last year's,'" said
Lucas.
. The total price of tuition, average
room and board fees, the general fee,
and additional costs and expenses will be
$41,440, up from $39,330 last year.
"I suppose it's good for us that they
are increasing less, but it still doesn't really
make sense given that they keep continu-ally
over-accepting new students," said
Kara Dooley '08. "I don't understand why
it doesn't all even out."
Lucas pointed out that the increase is
smaller than at comparable schools. "This
year, Boston College has announced a 6.6
percent increase, while Loyola College
in Baltimore has announced a 6 percent
increase. Villanova has increased tuition
for freshmen significantly, with a 16%
increase."
"I think the 5.3% increase is still
absurd considering that 2 out of those 3
universities are far more prestigious than
Fairfield," said Evan Trowbridge '07.
"But you also have to take into account
the building projects here, and the lack of
student population, compared to a school
like BC, to fund those projects. So it's dif-ficult
to assess and place blame here."
After the increase, the university is
projecting income of more than 130 mil-lion
dollars for the '06-'07 fiscal year.
More than 90% of these monies come from
tuition revenues. Other funds come from
returns on investments in the endowment
and gifts to the university.
The budget committee is established
by Fr. von Arx every year to provide ample
representation from the faculty, adminis-
