apologizes for any
confusion arising
from our delayed
publication date.
Due to power loss,
we were not able to
safely produce an
issue for Wednesday.
However, we felt the
severity of this
situation deserved
coverage regardless
of publication date,
so we produced a
shorter issue
dedicated to
Hurricane Sandv.

Sandy takes
her toll on
beach living

Senior year at Fairfield Beach.
Every student released. Point Sat-urdays.
Thursday night Nauts. Mind
Erasers and Two Dollar Tuesdays at
the Grape.
Hurricane Sandy swept in and
washed it all away.
As of publication, the approxi-mate
300 students living on the
beach are temporarily homeless,
many without their clothing and
other possessions due to the worst
storm in Fairfield's history.
In summarizing the attitude of
many seniors, Kevin Bachman '13
asked, "Where are we going to go?
Are we even going to have our se-nior
year at the beach?"
According to the Office of Resi-dence
Life, the town of Fairfield
has indicated that all beach houses
should be considered uninhabit-able.
At this time, there is still no
power and extensive flooding of the
beach area, making it impossible for
residents to access their homes.
Once the water recedes, the
sand must be removed. Then the
homes will be surveyed and if
deemed structurally sound, resi-dents
will be able to enter and gath-er
up their belongings. The time it
will take for this process to unfold is
unknown. Police officials estimate
it could be weeks, or even months
until seniors can reclaim Fairfield's
coveted beach lifestyle.
But life must go on. Classes will
resume. But where will the beach
refugees going to live?
Options
• Students who live in close
proximity to the University are
encouraged to commute.
• Students can live with a friend
on campus.
• Students can rent a space from
a local hotel/motel.
• Students can ask the Office of
Residence Life for assistance in
securing alternate temporary
housing, either in residence
halls or with faculty, staff, and
alumni who have agreed to
host students, or in converted
lounge spaces.
Nathan Lubich, assistant direc-tor
of Residence Life, described the
situation on campus as "not ideal,
but feasible and possible."
On Wednesday, displaced se-niors
were sent a survey assessing
their needs for on-campus housing.
The University will generate hous-ing
assignments Nov. 2 and will then
inform the students of where they
can live. According to Dean of Stu-dents
Karen Donoghue, the seniors
will be able to move into their new
homes between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Sunday. They will hopefully be able
to resume some sense of normalcy
before classes resume on Monday.
Donoghue also commented on
the possibility of lounge spaces be-ing
converted into temporary living
spaces. Any lounge in a residence
hall with access to a private bath-room
is being considered. These
include Loyola Hall, 70 McCormick,
