Bentivegna Names 12 To FUSA Cabinet by Philip McGinty FUSA President-elect Mike Ben-tivegna has announced the ap-pointment of twelve members to the 1981-1982 FUSA Cabinet. Ben-tivegna has affected some organi-zational changes in the cabinet to strengthen the quality of FUSA-sponsored events which involve the students. Junior George Hesse has been selected Director of the Student Entertainment Commission (SEC). He will work with sophomore As-sistant Director Tim Burke in put-ting on major concerts, Oakrooms, plus Harvest and Dogwood week-ends. Bentivegna informed that he appointed one director rather than two co-directors due to on-the-spot decisions that must be made in booking bands for events. Sherry Saba, a junior, and Dae Magrino, a sophomore, will be co- Directors of Special Events, a new FUSA department. Due to the overwhelming responsibilities of this year's Arts and Lectures series, the president-elect has limited Special Events to the United Way and Muscular Dystro-phy fundraisers, plus Career Spec-trum. Bentivegna sees Special Events as "good for the public relations of FUSA and the univer-sity as a whole." Junior John Sohigian and soph-omore Eve McGrath have been chosen Co-Directors of Arts and Lectures. They will be in charge of sponsoring major lectures and continuing the daytime program-ming in the Campus Center. Ben- Nonprofit Organization U.S. POSTAGE PAID Permit No. 34 Fairfield, Conn. tivegna explained that the daytime events (such as this semester's Victorian photographer and car-toonist) are designed as fun catalysts to "stimulate student in-terest in other FUSA activities such as Oakrooms and lectures." Brian Gilbert, a junior, will serve as Vice-President of Academics. Gilbert's duties will include a restructuring of the teacher evaluation system. Bentivegna is supporting an evaluation program presently used by Georgetown University in which both the students and the university's deans will receive full evaluations of the' professors. Gilbert will also be responsible for revamping the student-advisor program to "make the professors more available for career counseling," commented Bentivegna. Last, the Academic Vice-President will insure that students will be represented on academic committees such as the Academic Council and the Cur-riculum Committee. Junior Kathy O'Brien has been selected as Vice-President of Operations. She will serve as legislature liaison for FUSA and assistant to Gilbert with aca-demics. O'Brien will also be responsible for ordering supplies for the FUSA office. Vinnie Ferrante, a junior who has resigned her position as Presi-dent of the Legislature, will serve as Attorney General. Ferrante will be liaison and monitor of the Stu-dent Beach Association, which is now in the process of becoming The new FUSA Cabinet: Top Row (left to right) Tim Burke, George Hesse III, John Sohigian, Eve McGrath, Maria Distasio, Mary Sleeper.

She will~also work with the Owner's Association on problems concerning beach living, while ser-ving as spokesman for all stu-dents with problems of their rights. Junior Amy Kruger has been se-lected as Treasurer. Kruger will be responsible for keeping all ac-counts for SEC, Arts and Lectures, and all other departments in Amy Sleeper and Maria Dista-sio, both juniors, have been chosen Co-Directors of Publicity. Their duties will include publica-tion of the FUSA newsletter and the calendar. They will also work with an entire committee on publi-cizing all FUSA events. Bentiveg-na commented that his goal for publicity is to inform every stu-dent on campus of upcoming events. The president-elect informed that he chose his cabinet accor-ding to the invididual member's experience with the legislature, FUSA, or others who recommend-ed him. Bentivegna concluded that ultimately he plans to "build up academic support and interest without taking anything away from FUSA social activities." ■ ■"■£ Mm Volume 4, No. 23, March 19, 1981 ^ FAIRFIELD mW FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY, FAIRFIELD, CONN. 06430 MIRROR \^^^. Incorporated 1977 '81 Committee Names 35 Chairmen by Ken Vaughn Thirty-five subcommittee chair-men have been named to assist Karen Hill and Kevin Keegan in preparation for Orientation 1981, the co-chairmen announced Thursday. Another three positions will be filled in the coming month by Hill, Keegan and Administra-tion Director Cynthia Wolf, the university Judicial Officer. Named to positions are: Aca-demics, Mary Kay Wysocki and Terry Hetzler; Activities, Mary Conlin and Marguerite Downing; Committee Housing, Alvara An-draca and Nancy Ftupp; Com-muters, Maura McCartan and Sue Sweetnam; Decorations/Linen, Cathy Harvey and Sheila Kearney; Discussion Groups, Eve McGrath and Jim Battaglia; Drivers, Lori Bean and Rich Heagan; Food and Soda, Gayle Smith; Guides, Lynda Sartorio; ID'S, Vinnie Cuticello; Mailroom, Mariclare Foster and BobWichers; Photographer, Linda Capello; Reception Desk #1, Tim Reis asnd Kathy Walsh; Reception Desk #2, John Enerson and Pat Sullivan; Social, Beth Kramer and Luke Stanton; Sports, Brian Car-michael and Penny Wolfe; Traffic, Gerry O'Brien; Troubleshooters, Mark Eagen, Kathy Doherty, Mark Mielczarski and Carol Wilson; and Unloaders, Bob Brown and John Hannigan. Hill and Keegan said that two subcommittee chairmen in charge of transfer students and one addi-tional chairman in charge of guides would be selected soon, br-inging the total to 38 assistant chairmen. Hill said that the selections were made early enough to get a proper start for the fall program. "The social and academic commit-tees have to get started right away," said the sociology co-chairman. She added that stu-dents selected as chairmen have been meeting with Wolf to get oriented with the responsibilities. Keegan pointed out that March 30 and 31, and April 1 would be the dates when students could sign up to work on the committees. Names will be taken at a table in the Campus Center lobby during lunch and dinner. He said about 175 students will be chosen to work, with each student drawing two or three committee assign-ments. All students are welcome to sign up for a spot on the com-mittees, but workers will be selected primarily from the class of 1983. Next to be selected are the orientation assistants (OA's). Wolf said applications are being taken through tomorrow for one of 50 posts. The OA program is different from the orientation program in that the emphasis is on working with the incoming freshmen. Wolf said that an OA has three respon-sibilities: first, to contact the assigned freshmen during the summer and welcome them via a letter. Second, they meet with the assinged freshmen in a group situation during the Fall Orienta-tion program. Finally, they must keep in contact with the freshmen during the first academic year. Wolf said that each OA is assign-ed 12 to 15 freshmen to be a "Big Brother" or "Big Sister" to. Because of the special respon-sibilities in advising and guiding new students, an OA must have a thorough knowledge of the cam-pus in all respects. Those chosen will go through two training ses-sions in the spring and one the night before orientation begins. Hill said things are beginning to get going. "Right now, we are working on the summer letters to freshmen, the Freshmen Record, and the orientation social calen-dar," she said. Keegan added that the assistant chairmen would be a great factor in the success of Orientation 1981. "They are of vital importance to the success of the program," he emphasized. From a director's point of view, Wolf said, "I think things are going really well. Karen and Kevin are do-ing a super job. All the people in-volved are really excited about do-ing it."

Making up for lost time, the Society is first sponsoring a lecture by Professor Thomas Bird on the "Samizdat Literature in Russia" on March 19 at 3:30, and on April 4 the second annual History Day will be hosted in the Oak Room from 10-4. The Samizdat or underground literature authored by Soviet dissidents is the subject of Prof. Bird's talk. Besides being an ex-pert on the Russian Orthodox Church, Thomas Bird is on the Bishop's Committee on Ecumenical Affairs. His involve-ment on the committee is an asset in his field, as the church is one of the more vocal recipients of Soviet oppression. He is a graduate of Syracuse University, and a teacher of twenty years at New York University, Queen Branch. The History Day project is com-mitted to "instill and deepen the interest in history as part of an awareness of man's historical and cultural heritage," says Dr. Richard DeAngelis, advisor to Psi Theta. Psi Theta was chosen to host the event by the National En-dowment for the Humanities, the Connecticut Council Coordinating Committee.for the Promotion of History and the Connecticut coun-cil for the Social Studies, the pro-gram's promoters. What the day entails is an exhibition and judg ment on Fairfield area junior and senior high school students by the professors of history at Fairfield University regarding the topic of "Work and Leisure" in history.
