In Quinn's Sophomore year he bacame As-sistant News Director and then proceeded on to Program Director in his Junior year. As Station Manager, Quinn plans on "get-ting VOF into the minds of the students." His main goal is to make the station worth Fairfield Students' while.

Humes Boswell to discuss AIDS early The Humanities Institute and the School of Nursing will sponsor a talk by Dr. John Boswell, Professor of History, Yale University. The talk, entitled "Lepers An-cient and Modern: AIDS in a Social Con-text", will be held Wednesday, April 16, 3:30 p.m. in the School of Nursing Audito-rium.

The title of his lecture is The Establishment of Social Values and the Op-pression of Gay People." Laser printer incident resolved According to Fr. Lawrence W.

Fellowship conducts survey A survey was conducted by the Christi-an Fellowship, a special-interest club led by Amanda Kelly '87, which asked the question "If you could ask God one ques-tion what would it be?". 121 people responded to the survey. 34 people wanted to know why there is suffering in the world. 9 people asked, "Why was I born?". 5 peo-ple inquired on the meaning of life. This survey will be followed up by a dis-cussion with Jim Park, a representative from Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship in the Hartford area. The discussion is slated Tuition up! by Joseph Draper Full-time tuition will increase in the 1986-87 academic year. In its March meeting, the Board of Trustees reviewed the proposals and voted for the in-creases. The classes of 1989 and 1990 will be charged $7,550 as opposed to the current $6,900. For the classes of 1987 and 1988 the cost is now $7,350 from $6,700. Also, room and board will in-crease from $3,730 to $4,050, town-house rentals go from $2,730 to $3,150 and the General University Fee goes up from $10 to $170. In his letter to the student body, Father Kelley addresses the causes for the rais-ing oftuition: "Many significant factors, such as faculty and staff salaries, finan-cial aid, library acquisition, scientific equipment and deferred maintenance continue to be high priority items and must be addressed in our budgeting process." Elaborating further, Father Kelley points out that there is a gap between what students pay and what the real cost of a Fairfield education is; "on the aver-age about $1,500 this year." For the classes of 1989 through 1992 modest ad-justments will be made. Also tied to the tuition increase is a committment to fund "some of the recommendations contained in the University Planning Committee's Report." This was a group established two years ago which handed in its recommendations recently on how to im-prove the University in four areas: Jesuit and Catholic nature of the University, academic life, quality of student life and institutional resources. for Wednesday, April 16, at 7:00 p.m. in the Bannow 3rd Floor Faculty Lounge. History club to show film The history honor society, Phi Alpha Theta, and the History Club will present a film, The Aliens Place, on Monday, April 14th, at 7:30 p. m., in the Nursing Audito-rium. The film, a personal exploration by the Dutch Jewish filmmaker Rudolf van den Berg, asks the question "What does it mean to be Jewish?" It has been described as a moving study of the relations between per-sonal identity, history and contemporary politics. Dr. Ronald Kiener, Associate Professor of Religion at Trinity College, Hartford, who is an expert in Jewish and Islamic studies, will comment upon the film and lead a discussion.

Humes [Editor's note: This article concludes a three-part series on minority recruitment and retention problems.] As part of a plan to increase campus un-derstanding of minority issues from a scho-larly perspective, the university has established a program to recruit black scho-lars to conduct meetings and lectures, said the newly-appointed assistant academic vice-president.
