vicious cycle that 30 percent of the nation's
college students experience due to involve-ment
in abusive relationships, according to
Dr. Elise Harrison, assistant director of the
counseling services at Fairfield University.
When the celebrity singing couple,
Chris Brown, famous for his hit song "For-ever"
and Rihanna, famous for her hit song,
"Disturbia," did not show up at the Grammy
Awards this year, fans were skeptical.
Word got out and so did the horrify-ing
pictures of Rihanna's unrecognizable
face. However, after the curses, punching,
bruises and choking, Rihanna did not want a
stay-away order for Brown, according to the
March 23,2009 edition of People Magazine.
She has chosen to forgive her alleged abuser
and wants to drop the two felony charges
against suspect Chris Brown.
"I hope that young adults who see pub-licity
about Chris Brown and Rihanna are
upset to hear that she returned to the rela-tionship
and that it is raising awareness and
conversation about the
issue of relation
ship abuse," said
Harrison.

agers questioned, 46 percent said Rihanna
was responsible for what happened, as stated
in The New York Times.
Todd Pelazza, director of Public Safety
at Fairfield University, emphasized the need
for more readily available literature regard-ing
abusive relationships, so that teens
would not have this type of reaction to sygji
incidents.
"The more educated that people are on
any particular topic involving assault, then
the more empowered they are in recognizing
the sings and are able to take action to get
out of it," said
Pelazza.
But many
times the abused
victims are will-ing
to forgive the
abuser and feel that
the situation is their
own fault.
"Many people who are
involved in abusive relation-ships
blame themselves and
have a lot of shame about their
relationship," said Harrison.

University grad discovers

§93 m ms
BY ANNIE ROONEY
Who would have known that one of the world's primary
leaders in the clinical study and treatment of pancreatic cancer
graduated from Fairfield University?
Dr. James Abbruzzese graduated in 1974 in the first
co-ed class at Fairfield, and has gone on to achieve more
than just a PhD.
He is actively involved in the assessment of pancreatic
cancer and specializes in investigating phase I drug develop-ment
from the National Cancer Institute. This has landed him
the position of chairman of the Department of Gastrointestinal
Medical Oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson
Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.
"I work with a group of difficult cancers, so many of the
patients that I get to know eventually die," Abbruzzese said.
"However, it is rewarding to me that we can do so much more
