Jean-Bertrand Aristide receives
Bellarmine Medal of Honor
JoAnn Gometz
News Editor
"We will welcome students
who will go to Haiti; who will
help according to their choice.
We are always very happy to
welcome people who wish to
come. We will welcome students
from this university," said former
Haitian President Jean-Bertrand
Aristide during a press confer-ence
preceding Monday night's
lecture.
Aristide, who arrived at the
Regina A. Quick Center for the
Arts accompanied by personal
bodyguards, members of the Se-cret
Service, and Fairfield Uni-versity
Security officers, spoke
to the press briefly before taking
the stage, where the Fairfield
University Glee Club sang an
invocation.
Michael Reardon, Fairfield
University Student Association
president, welcomed Aristide,
and said that he hoped the visit
would "strengthen our commit-ment
to those people who work
for justice."
Fairfield University Presi-dent,
the Rev. Aloysius P. Kelley,
S.J., then expanded on Reardon' s
brief history of Aristide's time
in office, stressing that Aristide
"exhorted the youth of Haiti to
speak."

Editor-in-chief
This past Sunday, SBRA
(Student Beach Resident Asso-ciation),
along with FUSA
(Fairfield University Student
s Government), organized a
"Beach Clean-up" beginning at
1:00 p.m. at Lantern Point. The
clean-up covered the area from
the point down to the big house
and was an attempt by students
to clear rubbish, bottles and ciga-rettes
from the beach vicinity.
Kate Mclntyre, SBRA Presi-dent,
Chris Rhode, vice presi-dent
for of Student Activities,
and Karen Kenny, correlated the
event. Buses began at noon run-ning
from campus to the beach
until 3 p.m. "I was disappointed

dents," said Mclntyre. "By hav-ing
this beach clean-up, we were
attempting to bring together the
students and the community."
On Sunday, about 30 student
beach residents showed up for
were the town residents who
came to offer their services. The
event was catered by Mikes Pizza
which was paid for by FUSA.
"Unfortunately, beach resi-dents
once again looked apa-thetic
like the town describes us
to be," said Mclntyre. In lieu of
the fact that town/student rela-tions
have not been great in the
past month, Mclntyre along with
Rhode and Kenny were trying to
do something that town residents
would appreciate.
"Even if half of the people
came out from each house it
would have been a great effort
and showing by the students,"
said Nicole Barrett, a senior
beach resident.
Kenny is planning on running
a second beach clean-up in the
spring at Penfield Pavilion in
hopes that more students will
turn out for the event.

Assistant News Editor
"What a joy to be on the cam-pus
of Fairfield University," said
Elizabeth Dole, President of the
American Red Cross and wife of
Republican Presidential elect,
Bob Dole. Mrs. Dole addressed
students, faculty and the public
in the Kelley Theater at the Quick
Center on Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Dole's stop in Fairfield
was part of a campaign tour to
promote her husband in the up-coming
elections. The stop in
Fairfield was one of the seven in
Connecticut as Mrs. Dole
wrapped up her campaigning
efforts in the state, after Sunday
night's Presidential debates,
which were held in Hartford.
The Kelley Theater was trans-formed
into a Republican rally,
since pom poms, flags, and vari-ous
forms of Dole/Kemp signs
were placed on every seat in the
theater. The stage was adorned
with red, white, and blue bal-loons
as well as Dole/Kemp '96
banners.
