WEEK OF OCTOBER 18,2007 Vol. 33, Iss. 7-24 pages FREE - Take one MIRROR Fairfield community 5Ks for a cause The 5K Breast Cancer Walk to support the Norma F. Pfriem Breast Care Center of Fairfield was held on Saturday, Oct. 14 on the Fairfield University campus. The walk began at 8:30 a.m. and was sponsored by Fairneld's chapter of Colleges Against Cancer and the Fairfield University Student Association (FUSA). Katie Cincotta TO said it was a good turnout with a higher participation than last year. "I feel like I did my part in helping to raise money in cancer research. I think both sides win in the end because the foundation raises money for a good cause and I know I was a part of it," she said.

The Fairfield Board of Health con-ducts periodic inspections of all restau-rants in the town of Fairfield, including those on campus. Scored out of 100, points are deducted for minor violations, including problems with utensil stor-age, to more significant and potentially dangerous issues, including improper handling of raw food. The Canisius kiosk has scored over a 97 for the past four years, including a score of 100 in 2006. There have never been any major violations cited. The Barone Campus Center, while never scoring below a 91 in the past three inspections dating back to 2005, had a citation on April 19,2007, for excessive garbage piled in the dining hall. The problem has since been rectified. The Stag, with a score of 93, was ordered to clean shelves and empty sinks, as well as defrost and clean one freezer. In May of this year, the Fairfield catering center was told to wash can openers after each use. It received a score of 90, the lowest of the eating establish-ments on campus. Jim Fitzpatrick, assistant vice presi-dent of Student Services, said that din-ing safety is an essential aspect of the Fairfield community. "Sodexho does monthly inspec-tions," he said. In fact, Fitzpatrick wishes the town would inspect more often. "I wish the town did [inspections] quarterly. Once a year is too infre-quent." Sara Bouley '09 said she appreci-ates that Fairfield has not had any major problems with the Health Board. "It's very reassuring that the food industry at Fairfield is up to date with health inspections because it is obviously very important," she said.

The Princeton Review, a New York City-based education services company, formulates its rankings from candid surveys of business school students conducted during the past three academic years.

Norm Solomon, dean of the Dolan School of Business, said that the achievement in The Princeton Review is exceptionally gratifying because the publication is based on the opinions of Dolan students. "It gives me great satisfaction to see that the overwhelming viewpoint of our students is that they are pleased with the Dolan School's faculty, curriculum and facilities," he said. Business students attributed the success of the Dolan School to the challenging coursework and the easy accessibility of their professors.
