"I'm proud ofwhat I've done,
not only if I win," Christopher
Shays, Connecticut 4th district
congressman said last Wednes-day,
only six days prior to the
election between himself and
Democrat Bill Finch. Shays
showed confidence throughout
his halfhour segment on Fairfield
University'sHAMchannel show
"Pertinent Politics", which is
hosted by Peter Schwartz.
The format for "Pertinent
Politics" allotted twenty minutes
for audience questions, most of
which were asked by the Col-lege
Republicans. Shays fielded
many questions that have been
raised as pivotal campaign is-sues.
In answer to Junior Chris
Maroney's question "why didn' t
Shays vote against partial birth
abortions,' Shays replied that the
partial birth abortion pill doesn't
protect women or provide for
health exemptions for the
mother.
Congressman Shays was

students displayed their de-votion
to Christian service at the
7 p.m. mass in the Egan Chapel
on Sunday, November 3rd when
they offered Communion for the
first time as newly commissioned
Eucharistic ministers.
There was a different atmo-sphere
at the 7 p.m. mass that
evening. Not only were the seats
completely filled with students
and community members, but
family and friends of the poten-tial
Eucharistic ministers were
present as well. Students in their
best Sunday dress and a red car-nation
adorning their lapels anx-iously
awaited the moment of
their commissioning. The po-tential
ministers scurried about
the chapel before mass started,
in order to give one another a
reassuring smile or greeting as
the moment they awaited drew
nearer.
During the homily, attendants
were given insight as to the true
meaning of offering Commun-ion.
"Giving someone the body
and blood of Christ means offer-ing
them the best food and drink
possible. It means seeing them
through the eyes of God" said
Father Stanley. He warned that
serving others through becom-ing
a Eucharistic minister should
not be a claim to title or prestige,
but a sanction of unity and love.
And with this, the 17 potential
ministers rose, approached the
altar one by one to embrace the
sacrament, and took their oath
before the congregation. They
stood in a line as they first re-ceived
communion, then ac-cepted
a congratulatory hug from
