Henske Speaks
By Scott R. Davis
John M. Henske, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of the Olin Corporation,
opened the lecture series on the environ-ment
Tuesday evening in the Oak Room.
These lectures and additional seminars to
be given throughout the year have been
funded by the Olin Corporation.
Henske focused on two main premises in
his lecture. First, he stated that "mankind
is an integral part of the environment and
the world. Man should not maintain the en-vironment
the way it was twenty years ago
but should develop it for future genera-tions."
Man has used his talents and abili-ties
in protecting ecosystems in the form of
conservancies. The second main premise
focused on by Henske was that "environ-mental
issues are affected by economics
since man has unlimited desires and limit-ed
resources available to him."
An important economic aspect men-tioned
by Henske is "who is going to pay for

the problems caused by failing toxic waste
sites. One piece of legislation to deal with
this has been the Superfund. This was es-tablished
as a way to deal with the question
of who pays if no one has found out who
caused the contamination to occur. Another
approach is through the legal system which
helps to establish regulations and a means
for retribution of damages. Yet this ap-proach
takes many years and dollars which
Appalachia Visits Fairfield
By Lisa Boyne
During the dormant standstill of cam-pus
activity from the extended Columbus
Day weekend, activity continued to flour-ish
as Fairfield University hosted the
eleventh annual Appalachian festival. The
fair ran Satuday October 11, through Sun-day
in the Campus Center joining 30
different demonstrators from Kentucky,
South Carolina and many other eastern
U.S. states.
Appalachian Volunteers, Inc. was
founded in 1971 by Father William San-giovanni,
as a non-profit organization. It
began as Sangiovanni's efforts to provide
assistance to this traditionally im-poverished
area through the promotion
and sale of Appalachian handcrafts. This
years fair was made possible through the
assistance of Fr. Frank Moy, and volun-teer
services of community residents
providing housing, baked goods, and the
time and effort which enabled this years
festival to be a success.
The festival activities ranged from en-tertainment
to arts and crafts. Square
dancers greeted patrons in the center of
the campus center, dancing to live banjo
and fiddle music adding to the authentic
country fair atmosphere. In the entrance
of the Oak Room one man sat at a hand-loom
weaving the rugs which he sold. A
raffle \yas held for a multi-colored king
size quilt, with a flowered template. At a
closer look, each delicate hand stitch,
which proved the many hours of painstak-ing
effort, could be seen. Sarah Haynes,
a 45 year-old native from Kentucky," sat
in her booth selling hand sculpted clay
figures of senior citizens. Every crease
and wrinkle could be seen in lifelike faces
of these miniature works of art. Another
woman sat at a clay wheel, sculpting the
pottery she sold for an earnest living.
Other crafts included, hand carved and
painted ducks, leather goods, a variety of
Christmas ornaments, wood-crafted cut-ting
boards, stained glass, corn husk flow-ers
and much more.
This years directors, Noreen and Don
Potterson, commented on some of the
goals of the Appalachian festival, "the in-come
from door tickets goes to support
the core of the Appalachian region. Last
year's funds provided scholarships as well
as adding to a supplemental income.
The Appalachian festival is the only one
of its kind in the country, and people come
from all over New England to attend."
Pottery was one of many exhibitions at the Appalachian Festival.

chance to move ahead."
James Fiztpatrick who will probably will
feel the loss most acutely had praise for
Hale. "There are no words which adequate-ly
describe the loss of Kim Hale to Fair-field,"
he said. "Her services to Fairfield
have been invaluable."

similiar feelings. "We're all sorry to see
Kim Hale leave. jShe has been a great as-set
to FUSA and helped tremendously."
