Student Beach Association Plans Strategy By Janet O'Connor Student residents of Fairfield Beach have formed a Beach Associ-ation in the wake of mounting criticism from non-student residents. The purpose of the Association is to improve relations with the non-stu-dents, resist eviction processes, and analyze,the use and problems with the shuttle bus. The first meeting of the Associa-tion was held Tuesday, October 9, with Tim Buckley and Mike Navarro presiding. The basic issues discuss-ed at the well attended meeting were: the pending zoning and health complaints against students living at 1127 Fairfield Beach Road; alle-gations of false accusations by non-students residents against students; and possible solutions to curtail the hostility between beach dwellers. Director of Student Services, William Schimpf, was present at Tuesday's meeting to offer the students advice and guidance. Schimpf noted that while the univer-sity is not responsible for students living en the beach, the school has an interest in maintaining available student housing there. Navarro and Buckley met with At-torney Andrew E. Garson of Fairfield to discuss legal recourses available to students facing zoning and Health Board violations. To date, the stu-dents at 1127 have not been served with a notice of eviction. Therefore, Garson suggested that if eviction is threatened the students pursue legal channells of appeal. Tim Buckley noted that Attorney Garson was "very cooperative" and has "made his name and services available to us." Mike Navarro stated that a vote will be held at the Association's meeting Tuesday, October 16, at 7:30pm in the Nursing Auditorium to determine if Garson's services will be formally retained. Also on the next meeting's agenda are selection of committees to deal with solutions to shuttle problems, investigate abuses at the Nautilus and suggest guide-lines for beach parties. All these committees, Navarro stressed, will aim at reconciling the differences between student and non-student residents living at the beach. The Beach Association hopes to raise money which could be applied to legal expenses. Buckley added that beyond immediate eviction threats, the juniors have a strong in-terest in understanding the legal and social aspects of living at the beach.

THE FAIRFIELD Volume 3, No. 11, October 18, 1979 FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY FAIRFIELD, CONN. 064 50 MIRROR ^- Incorporated 1977 Deli Open For Business Subs An Early Success Charlie Rose, General Manager of the Student Deli. By Lauretta LaCasale The Campus Deli, which was one of Jim Connolly's election promises for this year, opened for business on Thursday, October 11. It's grand opening is today. Much enthusiasm has been shown by Jim Connolly and Charlie Rose as they awaited new customers. The deli passed inspection ap-proval by the Health Department on October 4th. The store is located near the lounge area on the ground floor of Gonzaga Hall and is open between 11am to'2pm and 8pm to 1am; with the exception of Friday and Saturday nights when it will be open until 2am. The funding for the deli was con-tributed to by FUSA, to initiate the operation, however, the deli will be student run. Rose said that over 45 people applied for the deli positions and that 15 students were chosen for the jobs, 12 full time employees and 3 alternates. The students were chosen according to their individual experience and qualificatons. Managers will be paid $3^50 per hour and clerks will be paicK$3.00 per hour. The deli selections include subs, consisting of choices of: two types of ham, salami, chicken roll, turkey breast, corn beef, roast beef and tuna, plus three types of cheese. The deli meats are supplied by Pat Fusco, an independent meat dealer, who also supplied the refrigerator and meat slicer. Soda vvill also be available along with various snack items, as soon as some profits are made the deli will be able to expand its food selection to accommodate student needs. Charlie Rose expressed his op-tomism towards the success of the deli and centered his major concerns around shoplifting. The success or the failure of the deli will depend on the students. When asked about the deli, most students expressed a posi-tive attitude toward it, citing its con-venience and reasonable prices. One important concept to keep in mind is that the deli will need time to grow and expand, but it seems to be off to a good start. , Glee Club Performs For Pope John Paul II By Ken Vaughn Once again, the oldest student organization on campus is in full operation. The Fairfield University Men's Glee Club, which has existed since the school was first founded in 1942, has two performances under their belt in what promises to be a busy year. The club, led by Director Paul LaMedica, Moderator Albert Cardoni S.J. and President senior Ed-ward Bauchie.ro, went to Shea Stadi-um October 3 to sing for Pope John Paul II and performed Parent's Day October 13. Bauchiero, a four year member of the club, said the organization is a social experience as well as a cultural experience. On the social angle, the club has travelled to Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC and New York among other places to perform. This year, like years in the past, the club will be traveling to girl's schools to perform. Among this year's tops include Molloy College of Long Island, Salve Regina of Newport, R.I., Anna Maria College of Worchester, Mass., St. Joseph's College of West Hartford, and St. Francis College of Hartford. Other traditional trips will be taken to Ladycliff College and other colleges and churches. The club is cultural in the repertoir of music the group sings, according to Bauchiero. The group has mas-tered such classical works as Mon-zart's Coronation Mass, vivaldi's Gloria, Foreau's Requiem and selec- Continued Page 3 Foreign Policy Poll The International Relations Club issued a ballot on Parent's Day, in which the parents were asked to evaluate President Carter's handling of foreign policy and their feelings concerning U.S. involvement and policy in world affairs. The questions and responses were as follows: 1. Do you agree or disagree with President Carter's position concerning Soviet troops in Cuba? Agree: 36% Disagree: 64% 2. How do you feel the U.S. should act toward the USSR? Trustful: 22% Distrustful: 78% 3. Should we stop trade with the Russians? Yes: 21 % No: 79% 4.Do you think the Senate should ratify the SALT treajy? Yes: 47% No: 53% 5. Should we increase the number of Indochina refugees? Yes: 47% " No: 53% Professors Examine Energy Alternatives By Stephen Banbury Moderated by Associate Physics professor Victor Newton, "The Energy Problem and Possible Solu-tions" program heard ideas from Associate Politics professors Kevin Cassidy and Edward Dew, Physics professor Evangelos Hadjimichael, and Associate Philosophy professor Reverend Albert Cardoni, S.J. last Saturday in Banow science building. Kevin Cassidy's comment, "The American people have to be willing to conserve, that is they have to want this to happen," summed up a pro-gram which consisted of opinions on different aspects of the energy pro-blem from several Fairfield pro-fessors. The talk began .with an introduc-tion by professor Newton that provid-ed a history of the energy crisis. "The turning point in the United States energy situation was in 1955 when for the first time, we used more energy than was available." He then went on to present each commen-tator in the panel. Edward Dew stated that he is skeptical of alternative energy development. "I am afraid of nuclear energy, yet it is the only efficient way for the present." I see a "looming crisis though, in the not too distant future." » Father Cardoni, responding to a moral outlook said, "We must be pru-dent with what energy we have, real-izing our limits on resources and ton-ing down our way of life." Professor Cassidy thinks that "the energy crisis is misleading." He frowns on nuclear power and Nukes and praises solar power. He stated, "the technology is available, it's been proven by many people, the major problem lies in the expense; in-stead of spending billions of dollars on nuclear power, the government should offer some sort of tax break, incentives that would make this more attractive to the consumer." He points out,-"what the government is overlooking is our ability to conserve, they just continue producing more and more of the fossil fuels." Professor Hadjimichael, since he is a physicist, believes in numbers and figures. He showed some graphs on the screen which among other facts showed that, "we continue to waste because we can afford to, but soon this will not be the case because in about 30 years, there will be very little fossil resource reserve left." He reminded listeners that "we are not alone on this planet—the United States has economic and political ties in Europe and we must learn to share our wealth. Following these comments, a series of rebuttals and questions began. Professor Dew pointed out his ob-servation of the situation as "a sense of urgency versus a sense of vigilance. We cannot allow ourselves or the energy companies to become 'fat' while sitting back." Later on, professor Hadjimichael warned, "until we have a govern-ment public transportation system and until we stop driving our Cadillacs; we have little chance at success."
