"The Image of Fairfield" FAIRFIELD • \ MIRROR) Nonprofit Organization' U.S. POSTAGE PAID Permit No. 32 Fairfield, Conn. Volume 9, No. 4 Thursday, April 25, 1985 New Major This Fall Communication/Arts Begins Fairfield University, Fairfield, Connecticut 06430 Incorporated 1977 by Thomas P. Moore Last month the Connecticut Board of Gover-nors both gave their licensing and accreditation to Fairfield University and its Communication Arts major. Rev. Edward J. Lynch, S.J., the Dean of the Graduate School of Corporate and Political Com-munication at Fairfield University who was the chairman of the committee that drew up the proposal that went to Hartford before the State Department of Higher Education, said that over the next three years, 120 students will be enrolled in the program of Communication Arts starting in the Fall of 1985. Areas of concentration in the major will be film, television, radio and professional communication. The curriculum of the new major will draw heavi-ly on the already existing courses in areas such as Fine Arts, English, Sociology, Politics and Bus-iness as well as courses drawn from the Gradu-ate School of Corporate and Political Communication and newly designed courses. The overwhelming demand for courses in the area in Communication and the high number of students who have declared a Communications Minor as well as the demand of High School stu-dents for a program that has a major in Commu-nications combined to push the school toward designing a program. Fairfield joins over twenty Jesuit Colleges and universities in the country that now offer commu-nication arts programs. Fr. Lynch commented on the new major by saying that, "Graduates will have the broad based foundation of all of our Liberal Arts students and will be required to com-plete the core curriculum as well as 36 credits in their major." Countering accusations that the Communica-tions Arts major was a move towards a more tech-nical degree, Fr. Lynch commented strongly by saying, that the interdiscipliary nature of the pro-gram assures that it is not a technical course.

According to University Provost Dr. John Barone, the sculpture was moved as a direct result of the protests made when the statue was origi-nally brought on campus some months ago. Barone also stated that the location the statue was Chemistry Department Receives Funding Grant by Ken Santopietro The Chemistry department has received a grant of $55,000 in the form of state-of-the-art anal-ysis equipment from the Perkin-Elmer Cor-poration. Dr. Gary Weddle, professor of Chemistry said, "One problem of a university our size is to keep the (science) equipment current, so we filed with Perkin-Elmer for a competitive educational grant." Mr. Charles Dayton, Public Relations director of Perkin-Elmer said, "Because Fairfield Universi-ty's facilities are local and they showed us a par-ticularly good Chemistry department, they re-ceived this grant." In November Perkin-Elmer gave the Chemis-try department a 7500 Professional Computer, two infared spectrophotometers, a general purpose interface module, terminal, printer, and software. Dr. Weddle said, "The expansion of this general purpose computer is open-ended with the devel-opment of new software." Chemistry courses, like Instrumental Analyti-cal Instrumental Chemistry, have benefited from these computer-operated analysis instruments which are used in industry. "This equipment was incorporated so Chemistry majors are more pre-pared to move into industry or graduate work," said Dr. Weddle. The Perkin-Elmer Corporation is based in Nor-walk, CT. They produce analytical instruments, semi-conductor equipment, computers, and electro-optical systems. placed in originally was deemed as "inappropri-ate" and as a result the university's space coflP" mittee began reviewing suggestions for alternative locations. Dr. Philip Eliasoph of the Fine Arts department, stated that a standing committee, comprised of several faculty members, made suggestions for a new location for the sculpture. The original site suggested, which was behind the Campus Center, was rejected, but a proposal to move the artwork to its Kostka Hall location was approved. The work to move the statue began approxi-mately ten days ago. Ron Dalton stated that the work order for the job was filled beginning April 17 and was completed on April 19. Dalton ex-plained that work done involved the disassem-bly of the statue and the removal of its frame and base. The sculpture then had to be moved to its new location after a new site had been cleared and readied and then reassembled. Dalton added that the second installation of Rosie was less time consuming because the frame on which the statue rests was already built. i5r."Hlasoph also stated that he was not alarmed by reports that Rosie had a student climbing on it and sitting on it. Said Eliasoph, "As long as they don't become physically abusive there is no problem. The students can become involved in the piece and can participate in it. They can be-come engaged in the work."

[Photo by Michelle Byrd) by Connie McKenna F.U.S.A. president Jim English appointed his cabinet last week, creating three new cabinet po-sitions in the process. The new position of Daytime Programming was filled by Chris McNulty. His job, according to En-glish, will be to "assure quality programs every week in the campus center." McNulty is striving for "regularity" in his development of next year's programs. "We're trying to plan for a weekly event to take place in the campus center lobby during the day." McNulty's plans include exhibitions of student art, debate forums at least once a month, and talks by Jim English to provide better com-munication with the student body. The duties of the newly created Financial Manager will be to inform the students of F.U.S.A.'s financial standing, to manage endowments, and to plan for F.U.S.A.'s financial future. Kerry Smith was appointed Financial Manager. Suzi Lorentz, Vice-President of Government Operations, will be in charge of F.U.S.A. membership, will deal in com-munications and will serve as an office manager. Other appointments include Kerry Besnia, Vice-President of Student Activities, and John Mancini, Vice-President of Student Life. Manci-ni's basic goal for next year is to improve rela-tions on behalf of Fairfield students with the administration. "We have to make people aware that their input should influence administration's decisions. Our real aim is to make administration view their decisions in terms of the effects on the students, not just the effects on administration." Pat Leeber was appointed as Treasurer, and Chris Ritchie as Club Co-ordinator. The positions of Academics and Student Serv-ices are filled by Rich Fahey and Tom Kushner, respectively. Don Ciampi, Caitlin O'Connell and Guy Irace will pool their efforts as Oak Room/Coffee House cabinet members, just as GinaZarlengo, Annette Agati and Brian Flaherty will work together on Special Events. Special Events is planning to continue their fund raising events next year. Zarlengo stated that their over-all goal is to continue the good reputation that she feels Special Events has earned, "and get more students involved so that everyone has a good time and the events are run smoothly and successfully." Sports and Leisure cabinet positions are filled by Paul Harason and Patti Potuznik, and Arts and Lectures will bn taken care of by Jeff Ford and John Shine.
