$95 x every full time undergraduate stu-dent
= FUSA's Budget. The 2010-2011 FUSA
budget was projected in the Spring of 2010
at $296,875 from an expected 3,125 under-graduate
student enrollment. As anticipated,
more students enrolled which granted FUSA
a rounded $9,000 surplus, according to Sec-retary
of Treasury, Aaron Chan '12.
The main driver behind budget spend-ing
is FUSA President Eddie Muniz' 11. In
internal FUSA documents, Muniz listed
his 2010-2011 school year goals to include^
an increase in school spirit, marketing
FUSA initiatives, enhancing Multi-Cultural
Monday Programming and building the
FUSA team. The goals are acknowledged
throughout every decision made regarding
the budget plan.
When asked if on a whole most students
get there $95 worth, Muniz replied "I'd say
freshman and sophomore year definitely be-cause
[they are] a lot of students that come
to our late night programming, which is the
most ofwhat we do and ofwhat you see. I'd
say for the most part students are getting
their money wprth."
Chan responded, "not as many as I
would like."
Programming:
186,600
Paid by 1,964 stu-dents
This is the big
one. Under this
budget, FUSA pays
for athletic events,
concerts, cultural
celebrations, fea-tured
speakers, late
night programming
and special events.
Working together with
many other campus
groups, FUSA aims to fulfill
many of their goals. $25,000
is given to multiple athletic
events like Late Night at the Stag,

Where Did AllThe Boys Go?
Call Of Duty Black Ops Taking Over Campus
BY DAN LEITAO & AMBER NOWAK
MANAGING EDITOR & Asoc. NEWS EDITOR
"When they first got it, my boyfriend
literally shouted 'Yes!' and told me 'I'll see
you in a week." Call of Duty Black Ops has
been affecting Gabrielle Arens' '12 social
life since its launch November 9, 2010. In
the first 24 hours of its debut, the game
sold 5.6 million copies in the US and the
UK. This launch was the largest output
in video game history, topping last year's
release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
Arens discussed the ramifications of
this game on her relationship since its re-lease,
"I have seen less of him since Mon-day,
but he's not as bad as a lot of other
guys." She continued, "There is a consistent
male gathering in one of the rooms, just
watching it and talking about how big their
guns are and things like that."
Arens is not the only one wondering
where her significant other has gone since
the release of Black Ops. "Most people
ignore their girlfriends for a week because
they're playing the game," said Grant
Arzumanov '12. But his housemate Jared
Buckley '12 asserts that when it comes to

ANew Party in Town
BY CARLY SUTHERLAND
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Thirsty Thursday. Sunday Fun Day. And
now... Flipside Wednesday? The popular
Downtown Fairfield burger and bar joint is
introducing a new night for college students
to party.
But there's another list... Al's Place.
The Snickering Squirrel Saloon. And most
recently... Bravo. Bars in the past that have
hosted Fairfield college students, but have
also dealt with raids and charges due to
underage drinking and the use of fake IDs.
Will Flipside learn from the problems
of its predecessors as it chases a college-age
clientele - facing the realization that
perhaps 80 percent of Fairfield students are
underage and could jeopardize its liquor
license if served?
Just over a year has gone by since
Fairfield University students were found on
a Tuesday night at Bravo Restaurant and
Bar (now The Old Post Tavern) by liquor
license commissioners and Fairfield Police
Department. .
To those who missed the incident, or
somehow haven't heard the many stories
that have been featured in papers across the
nation on the news or by word of mouth,
undercover personnel had been present
throughout the night as students filtered
in. Over 100 IDs were confiscated, accord-ing
to The Mirror last fall, and students' real
information was taken down.

Flipside Burger and Bar is the new place for
students to go on Wednesday nights.
Later, the school issued fines and
community service hours, and eventually
sent warrants for the arrests of the stu-dents
involved. Finally, court appearances
were made, charges were distributed and
licenses were suspended.
While students now seem to be done
dealing with the many repercussions of
the Bravo raid, Flipside's announcement of
"College Wednesdays" has some worried
about another repeat in Fairfield.
"Fake IDs are always a concern, but
we're doing all we can do," said Mike Baffa,
owner of Flipside Burger and Barn, "We
worry, but we have bouncers at the door
