              Security Department
Changes Locale And Policys
GiGi Byron and Claudia M. Napp
The Security Department now sit-uated
in Loyola 1-S, has not only
switched locales, but has undergone
policy changes too. The alterations
in regulations are part of an attempt
to further eliminate parking pro-blems.
"It's important to try and
work successfully with the parking
spaces we have. This is a pretty
campus and paving any more of it to
create new lots would be a shame,"
remarked Mary Walsh.
Registration of all vehicles must
be completed by September 21.
There is no fee being charged for this
process this semester. "Our feeling
is that both the faculty and staff don't
pay for registering their cars, so why
should we charge the kids," stated
Pat Carroll.
A bumper sticker will be issued to
each registered student to be placed
on the front driver's side of the car.
The stickers are numbered so that
security can keep the numbers on
file. Students must re-register each
year, but will be able to maintain the
same numbered sticker.
Fines for various violations have
been reduced this year. The three
dollar fine is the same. This fine is ap-plied
to cases of parking or standing
so as to obstruct walkways, delivery
entrances, parking lot entrances, or
other vehicles; parking on roadways
or grass; parking in a no parking area
or area not authorized by permit;
parking in a reserved area for facul-ty,
staff or visitors; and failure to park
in delineated stalls.
The eight dollar fee has been low-ered
to five dollars. This-, five dollar
fine is charged for parking within ten
feet of a fire hydrant; falsifying a
parking permit application; parking in
a fire lane, tow zone, and/or service
vehicle space; exceeding campus
speed limit of 20 miles per hour,
failure to obey stop signs or other
traffic control signs; and parking in
an area designated for handicapped
persons.
Any unregistered vehicle is now
subject to a ten dollar fine, instead of
the old twenty-five dollar one. Signs
will soon be placed around campus
buildings to designate service area
only parking. Only maintenance and
delivery trucks are authorized in
these spaces. The newly posted area
will eliminate workers problems in
having to double park when on ser-vice
calls.
The parking lots located on Loy-ola's
front and side, along with the
area in front of Campion, are now
limited to faculty, staff or com-muters.
Behind Campion, parking lot
3, is for Loyola/Campion resident
students. Northwest lots 1 and 2 are
designated for the residents of that
hall, plus commuter and faculty/staff
overflow. The parking area directly in
front of the Campus Center is only
for faculty and administration during
weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m.The security booth will be mann-ed
during these hours so that one-way
traffic will flow more readily.
A new regulation has been in-stated
to cover improper driving.
Such a violation entails driving
through the quad or other grassy
areas. Violators of this rule will
automatically be sent to the Traffic
Appeals Board.
Recalitrant violators will be sum-moned
to appear before the Traffic
Appeals Board. This court is empow-ered
to hear appeals of traffic or
parking violations. They are also re-quired
to summon flagrant violators
of parking rules.
Within ten days of issuance of a
traffic ticket, an appeal must be
made. After this time the violator
forfeits the right of appeal. Members
of the university community have the
option of either appealing a picket in
writing or personally appearing be-fore
the Traffic Appeals Board. The
Board consists of three faculty/staff
members and three students. *
The Security Department is open
24 hours a day. It is directed by Mr.
Pat Carroll who is available week-days.
Both supervisors Ms. Mary
Walsh and Mr. Dave Baxter are on
duty daily. They may also be reached
Tuesday throught Friday nights in the
office. In case of an emergency, dial
ext, 2611; general business is ext.
2558 or phone 255-2400. Turn to
page 5 for a detailed map of the park-ing
lot areas.

The "Rock House", 505 Fairfield
Beach Road, was the scene of a bur-glary
early last Thursday morning.
The break-in occurred at approx-imately
2:00 a.m., while five of the
house's eight residents were at
home in bed.
Two of the' remaining residents,
Patty Keefe and Ava Caracciolo,
walked up to the house and saw
three men standing outside. "They
must have been the lookouts." Ms.
Caracciola stated, "-they started
walking away from the house as we.
walked up.'-'
As the girls entered the house, a
Commuter
Club
By John E. Lorincz
The Commuter Club officers have
officially set the club at the service of
the alumni association^ After two
years of only a few commuter club
members helping former alumni dir-ector
Michael J. Cannizzaro, the of-ficers
have decided to encourage all
its members to convey this kind of
spirit.
Present alumni director Richard
Popilowski was pleased with the
commuters' interest, remarking that
he could always use more help.
The decision to implement the
club was finalized after club par-ticipation
in the June 8, 9, and 10
Fairfield U. class reunion of the
classes of '54, '59, '64,.'69, and '74.
Under the direction of former alumni
director Michael J. Cannizzario. the
volunteers were officers Caroline-
Hamilla, Margaret Koehm, Nora
Fagan, James Danceroux, and John
Lorincz. Members present were
Jeanne Fitchen, Wayne Sharnick,
and John Tkacik. Also, two Cardinal
Key Club members, Virginia Allar and
Debra DeBastos, help out.
fourth man, dressed in jeans and a
tee shirt, walked past them and out
the door. Ms. Keefe describes him as
"early twenties, about 5'10" or
5'11", medium build, with straight
brown hair and a mustache.
As he walked past the girls, Ms.
Caracciolo asked him, "Who are
you?" The man answered "Who are
you?" and ran out.
The burglar apparently only had
time to go through one of the girls'
rooms. He took a wallet and a watch
from Ms. Keefe's purse. The wallet
contained no cash or credit cards,
and was found the next day discard-ed
on Rowland Road. The watch was
broken.
Ms. Keefe explained, "The
strange thing was that my door was
closed and the lights were off when I
left the house, so he had no way of
knowing I wasn't in there. When we
got back, the lights were on and
everything on my dresser was di-sheveled."
Both the front and the back screen
doors of the house were loft ajar by
Ihe burglar; the back windows were
open and the window screens off
After the burglar left, the girls call-ed
the Fairfield police. The police
picked up a suspect that night, but
he was cleared afler Ms. Caracciolo
and Ms. Keefe verified that he
not one of the four men.
This scene, reminiscent of the days of the "Suitcase Syndrona'. may
soon be popular again if the Beach Shuttle is cancelled on weekend.;.
This cancellation may be a reality if there are more incidents of abuse to
the bus or driver.
