Dorm Councils Elect Officials by Meg Flannery The delayed establishment ot Dorm Councils is expected to be completed this week. The final election of representatives from each dorm will allow the institution of new drinking regulations to begin. The new regulations, aimed at a student self-policing policy, are the end result of a controversial issue last March in which a number of dorm residents were written up at a party allegedly deemed "out of control" by security officials. Business School Opens Griffin Optimistic Last Thursday a meeting for all those interested in working in the dorm councils was held in the hope of clearing the air of many of the misconceptions that had formed. Much of the controversy centered on the problem of what degree a dorm council member would be responsible for "policing" various activities. Council members are responsible for keeping order and will therefore have to use their own judgement in dealing with problems that arise. The role of the R.A. has not been diminished, they will still be there in the event that a council member is unable to handle a given situation. For the most part individual discretion will be necessary in dealing with possible problems. Vinnie O'Brien plans to meet this week with the resident advisors and headmasters to work out the final details. The dorm councils will then begin to assume their important roles in self-government. Hopefully these councils will provide an opportunity for better representation of all students and an opportunity for a variety of projects and entertainment alternatives. DEAN JOHN GRIFFIN (photo by Al Graziano) This fall, a new School of Business opened at the University to better accommodate the rising number of students enrolled in the various business majors. Its aim, according to Dean John Griffin, is to provide students with a better identification with the total aspect of the business field. The school also seeks to establish a reputation for an excellent quality of education in the community and professional fields. In order to provide for these goals, many new plans are being implemented. New elective courses are to be added to the standard curriculum on two year cycles and the curriculum will be under constant review to keen it a irrent in the changing business world. Dr. Griffin has also informed us of plans to initiate two new majors—Quantitive Analysis and International Business, now being developed by Professor D. Reilly. When asked if the development of the new business elective courses would in any way affect the basic core requirements, Dean Griffin emphatically stated that the school of business will in no way affect the liberal arts at-mosphere of the university. "This is an artificial issue. We are in complete agreement with the excellence of a liberal arts base. Persons entering the business field must still understand how to reason, write, and speak." In addition to this, Accounting Professor H. Allinger remarked that "a school of. business will give a more prestigious reputation to the graduate. It will enhance job resumes and perhaps provide better opportunities to graduates." Allinger also felt the creation of a separate school will be a vehicle for additional grants and fellowships from various .companies. Dr. Griffin backs up this view by informing us-that the Senior Internship Program was expanded this year with more companies particupating and the growth is expected to continue. Another addition to the business curriculum is the Distinguished Executive Lecture Series being sponsored by Champion International Corporation, who have agreed to furnish four executives to lecture on each of the four areas of business specialization—Accounting, Management, Marketing, and Finance. These lectures will be geared toward current issues in each field of study in order that the student may receive information generally not available in the classroom. The School of business will also begin publishing a quarterly magazine, the Fairfield Business Review which will contain a lead article written by a prominent local businessperson. In addition to this, it will feature articles on Fairfield business students, alumni, and faculty and statistical material on economic trends in Fairfield County. It will be distributed to business and; political leaders in the area. The faculty has also been expanded with the addition of three new professors —Dr. Frank Greenwood, Management and Quantitative Analysis, Professor David T. Cadden, Finance and Management, and Professor Robert W. Kravet, Accounting and Finance. The new school of business is currently accredited by the state of Connecticut and additional ac-creditation by the American Assembly of Schools of Business will take ap-proximately three years. At that time, immediate accreditation is expected since planning in terms of curriculum and faculty are all in conformity with A.A.S.B. standards. The possibility of the development of a graduate program in business is seen as a strong prospect for the future by Dean Griffin whose immediate concern, however, is to provide the Fairfield business student with a better op-portunity for the future. THE FAIRFIELD VOL. 2, No. 7; September 28, 1978 FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY, FAIRFIELD, CONN. 06430 MIRRORIncorporated 1977 Campus Pub Prospers by Tony Tarnell The Stag-Her Inn has sold a staggering 1,378,4% ounces of brew, and had realized a marginal profit of $7,500 for the 1977-78 school year In a recent interview, Fitzpatrick, detailed that," the Stag-Her Inn is operated like any other division of an organization. The $7,500 profit that the Stag-Her realized last year was funnelled according to James Fitzpatrick, Director right back into university funds." of the Campus Center. Celebrating its fifth birthday, January Academic Council Chooses Head by Andrew Masini The University's Academic Council elected Dr. Jerome Meli of the Physics Dept.,as its chairman at last Thursday's meeting. He will serve for one year in this capacity without speaking or voting rights save to break a tie, but rather to run the Council meetings and see that order is maintained. The Council had already chosen its executive and recording secretaries, Drs. Joseph Boggio and Morris Grossman, respectively, at a previous meeting this year. The members of the Council who are elected for three year terms by the departments and schools that they represent serve as a link between the faculty and the administration and as an advisory body to the president. They handle faculty and general academic issues on a week to week basis turning certain major ones over to general faculty discussion. All other faculty committees are responsible to the Council. The Council's duties range from the approval of new schools to the University, such as recently added the School of Business just this past year and possibly the Center for Lifetime Learning in the future, to the ap-pointment of faculty members to search committees. The Council has been very much concerned with this latter duty having recently appointed members to the Dean Search Committee to find a permanent replacement for Rev. James Coughlin, S.J. They also appointed four faculty members to the Presidential Search Committee at their last meeting. Fr. Coughlin, Dr. Elizabeth Gardner of the. Psychology Dept., Dr. William Garrity of the Graduate School of Education, and Rev. Joseph MacDonald of the Mathematics Dept. were elected to the Search Committee as the four faculty members. The Council also chose two additional faculty members, Dr. George Lang (Math) and Dr. Vincent Rosivach (Classics), to serve on the committee should the Board grant their request for more representation in the way of two additional faculty positions on the committee. Although it is required that the chairman of the Academic Council not be a member of the Council, Dr. Meli's five years experience as a previous member (three of his own term and two finishing out that of another member) will form a solid background for him as he presides over a very active com-mittee. 21,1979, the Stag-Her Inn's short history has been one of development. Back in 1973, David Zola, then Director of the Campus Center, and Dean Schimpf put in the majority of the effort to get a beer permit and zoning regulations for a beer serving pub on campus. It was not until BOB KENNEY fall 73, that the University of Con-necticut received a special license from the State Liquor Control Commission allowing them to sell beer in their campus pub. When this law was put into effect, University of Connecticut became the first school in the state to offer beer to the students. When this law was put into motion, the other Connecticut universities .reacted explosively, saying that it was T'^W unfair for only U Conn to be covered "■""""""jsP under the law. The state then permitted all Connecticut universities to file under this law. Arts and Sciences Awards Announced By Marianne O'Connell Dean Rinaldi today announced the institution of an arts award and a science award to be presented each year to students of the College for distinguished performance in the Arts and in the Sciences. The Awards will be given for a specific project, and each award will carry a stipend of $250. 'The purpose of the awards is to give public honor to high achievement in the area of the arts, and to com-municate to the academic community and to the general public a sense of the vitality of the liberal arts~and sciences here at Fairfield," according to Dr. Rinaldi. The Awards will be presented at an Awards Night Ceremony which will be held in February or early March, where finalists will be given an opportunity to present their projects to the general public. 'The point of the program is to stimulate an awareness of the high achievement of our students during their college studies." Added the Dean, "Up until now, all recognition took place at graduation. These awards are an attempt to change that." Applicants for the Arts Award may submit a painting, a musical com-position, a poem or group of poems, a dramatic performance, an essay in aesthetics, an essay on a work of literature or on an author, a study of the impact of the arts on history or of history on the arts, or any such en-deavor relating broadly to the ex-continued on page 10 "Due to the effort of Zola and Schimpf, Fairfield was ready to act once the law was passed," said Fitzpatrick. "Fairfield was the second university in the state to be approved under this new proposition." With the new beer permit, all the university needed was a proper area to house the new pub. A number of suggestions, including taking over the Playhouse, and renovating the old barn by the Playhouse, were considered and rejected as the University decided to convert the existing snack bar into the Stag-Her Inn. After a $15,000 con-struction investment, on January 21, 1974, the Fairfield University pob poured its first beer. Fitzpatrick pointed out that, "as of now, the Stag-Her is restricted to the sale of beer and cider only." When asked about the possibility of selling other alcoholic beverages (ie. wine and sangria), Fitzpatrick pointed out that, "University of Connecticut has recently received a full service permit for its pub." Other Connecticut schools do not as yet fall under this new proposition. Fitzpatrick concluded that, "the university has not as yet taken any steps in acquiring such a license." When asked if the existing Stag-Her Inn is to be the permanent location for the pub, Mr. Robert Kenney director of the Stag-Her stated that, "Of course the Stag-Her would like move into a larger more versitilearea." He continued that, 'There is a general concern among the university administration to find another area, however, due to the lack of space on the campus, the Stag-Her is relatively low on the list." The Stag-Her Inn is operated like any other small intricate part of a large organization. Before every fiscal year the pub submits a planned budget to Mr. John Hickson, Director of Business and Finance for the university. Last year the budget for the Stag-Her was $70,000. continued on Page 10
