Their efforts were part of Hunger Cleanup, which celebrated its 20th anniversary this year and has raised nearly $10,000. Hunger Cleanup's goal is to try to end hunger and homelessness in America. Fairfield students were sent to a variety of local locations including AmeriCare, the Caroline House, the Sal-vation Army and Mohonk Children's Home, which has been a site for each of the past 20 years. Nearly 500 students participated and local organizations, such as Subway, A&S and Mike's Pizza, donated food for the volunteers. Hunger Cleanup is taking donations until the end of April in hopes of reaching its goal of raising $10,000. See the full story on p 2.

When mid-April rolls around, FUSA officials gear up for yet another budget ap-proval session. The budget was overseen this year by two-term FUSA Treasury sec-retary Tim Dee '08. "The budget does play a large role in the operations of FUSA, mostly with program-ming," said Dee. A total of 69 per-cent of the budget is allocated to FUSA event programming. The $263,500 that the FUSA budget holds is funded by the $85 student fee that is a component of the student tuition. DEE Dee said that the FUSA budget is negotiated between the incoming FUSA president and the incoming secretary of the treasury, positions now held by Jeff Seiser '10 and Nicole Barone '09, respectively. Seiser said he "needs to sit with the executive board and see where the money has gone." He said he has a general understanding about what the money was used for, but wants to see specifics to de-termine whether any part of the organization should have a greater allocation of funds. Dee explained the pro-cess of budget allocation. "I look at the expenses of FUSA for the previous three years and look at any other organizations that have been spending their money wisely and could use a budget increase," said Dee.

Easter Sunday: A strange and unlikely time for a felonious "joy ride" that would come to a splashing halt in Bellarmine pond. Around 9 p.m. that night, a stu-dent reported headlights coming from the water of the pond, located near the Barlow Road entrance. Public Safety arrived at the pond across from the Dolan School of Business at the same time as Fairfield Police. A quarter-ton 1991 Nissan pickup truck, one of 38 maintenance trucks on campus, was found submerged in the water. "The truck was pretty well drowned and water was sucked into the engine," said Ted Hunyadi, direc-tor of operations on campus. Hunyadi called the incident "sus-picious" and said the truck, which had 70,000 miles on it, was totaled.

"Anybody could've gotten into the maintenance yard," he said. "I don't think it could've been a stu-dent." Public Safety officer Mike Lau-zon said the incident is still under investigation, but said that someone probably went into the maintenance yard, found the vehicle unlocked, then started it up and went for a "joyride." The keys were in the ignition when Fairfield Fire Department pulled the truck out of the water, however no one was "supposed" to be driv-ing the truck that night, according to Lauzon.
