■ The FairfieldMIRRORv Volume 10, No. 11 Our Tenth Year Thursday, October 9, 1986 The Image of Fairfield . Plans to build 29 new townhouses were challenged last week at the Town Plan and Zoning Commission meeting. [Photo by Andrea Whitehouse] Professional nights begin By Jedd Sherman Last Thursday night, Larry Loiello, 79, gave the first of four scheduled lectures in the Alumni Career Professional Night lec-ture series at Southwell Hall. His informal talk covered the good employment oppor-tunities to be found in the field of advertis-ing. Larry, who had graduated as an accounting major, decided that accounting wasn't for him when he decided to look into advertising as a refreshing career change. He attained an entry level position with the large New York- based advertising agency, Benton and Bowles. Three years down the road, Larry tried a brief foray into sales with McCall's magazine, but felt that advertising offered him the most challenges and rewards. So, he returned to advertis-ing with the New York-based advertising agency, Warwick Advertising. At 29, Lar-ry is now vice-president of media with Warwick, and says that he is glad he switched from accounting to advertising. "Advertising offers both creative expres-sion with an opportunity to exercise one's power in logic and strategy." Another plus for advertising is that though entry level po-sitions offer low starting salaries, those who stay with it often see their salary go up from 10,000 dollars a year to 30,000 within a period of two years. Larry's enthusiasm for his work showed as he discussed with students his current ad campaigns for Jockey, Calvin Coolers, and Stridex. He talked with the students about what advertisements they remembered best and what it means to buy time for an ad on particular T.V. shows or radio stations. All in all, the talk was an excellent opportuni-ty for students interested in advertis-ing/ marketing to talk with an alumnus who currently enjoys a successful career in this field. He encourages any Fairfield senior or junior to get in touch with alumni who can offer their insights on an array of careers open to all students graduating from Fairfield. There are at least three more scheduled lectures, and it is well worth the walk to Southwell Hall for any student who is interested in exploring different careers. ni w The Career Planning Center held a reception last week to increase communications be-tween it and the faculty. [Photo by Andrea Whitehouse] Townhouse proposal challenged By Joseph Draper Fairfield University presented its plans for 29 new townhouses to the Fairfield Town Plan and Zoning Commis-sion. According to the Fairfield Citizen News the university asked for a special ex-emption for construction in order to allevi-ate the shortage of housing on and reduce the student population housed along Fair-field Beach Road. The Commission met Tuesday Septem-ber 30 in a public hearing held at Riverfield School. Lawyer Stephen Donohue spoke for the university as it made presentations for phase III of the townhouse develop-ment. The new townhouses would accomo-date 172 students in six person units, included would be a four person unit for handicapped students. University Provost John Barone pointed out that approximately 300 students now live in the beach area as compared to high of 600 in 1980 the paper said. Large par-ties and other disturbances have been a source of annoyance to residents on Fair-field Beach Road. The new townhouses would draw over half those students back onto campus. While there was some opposition to the plan by residents of North Benson Road who would live across from the proposal sight, the loudest criticism came from members of the town HistoricaJ Society who felt the water tower was a "disim guished landmark". Phase III of the townhouses would he built behind McAuliffe Hall on what was once the Jennings Estate. The Historical Society showed several pictures ol the es tate during its golden era of the I900's. well before the university was conceived. "This development would significantly damage one of the most historical sites in not only the Town of Fairfield but in the en tire country." said Christopher Nevins. director of the Fairfield Historical Society Nevins claimed there were more appropi i ate sites on the campus. Barry Blades, a design architect from Environmental De sign Associates explained that the new units would be no higher then the existing units and that a wall and a large amount ol'shrub bery would be installed to minimize sight and sound problems traversing across North Benson Road. The TPZ has 65 days to render a deci sion. The university is hopeful of an early decision in order to open the units in lime for the fall 1987 semester. Larry Loiello, 79, Vice-president media at Warwick Advertising, discusses his career change from accounting to advertising. [Photo by Andrea Whitehouse] Crackdown on townhouse parties Rossi warned that violation of Universi-ty and State policies could at any time result in cancellation of the townhouse contract. Although security staff numbers on weekends have not increased, closer atten-tion to the problems are hoped to eliminate them. By Connie McKenna News Editor In a letter from Richard Rossi, Director of Student Residences, all townhouse resi-dents were reminded of the policies govern-ing townhouse parties. University policy states that townhouse parties must be contained inside the units and on the decks. According to Rossi, a number of parties have resulted in groups of people socializing on the lawns outside the units. "The main problem," said Rossi, "is that the parties are beyond manageabil-ity. Party hosts have to remember that they're responsible for everyone who at-tends their party, whether he/she is invit-ed or not." Excessive noise and drinking in unautho-rized places are two problems hoped to be eliminated by stricter enforcement of poli-cies. Rossi added, "underage drinking is a violation of state law, and party hosts are held responsible for any minors found drinking alcoholic beverages in their town-house unit. The repercussions of this are serious."
