Fairfield's ring tradition carried on
JoAnn Gometz
News Editor
"Through faith to the full-ness
oftruth," reads the Fairfield
University motto. The Rev. Paul
Carrier, S.J., quoted this motto
throughout his celebration ofthe
Ring Mass for the Class of 1998
last Saturday, as he advised the
participants to be ever watchful
and to pursue knowledge in its
many forms. Among family and
friends in the Egan Chapel of St.
Ignatius Loyola, members ofthe
Junior class received their rings
during the mass.
Later in the afternoon, many
members ofthe group made their
way to the Campus Center Oak
. Room, where a catered dinner
awaited them. The dinner, for
the first time including the fami-lies
of the ring recipients, fea-tured
Coq au Vin as the main
dish. Roses and candles served
as the centerpieces for the nearly
twenty tables at the banquet.
Following dessert, Jason
Machado, who with Katie
Capuzzi organized the event, in-troduced
the evening's speaker,
Professor ofPhilosophy Michael
Andrews, S.J.
Andrews, who received his
Bachelor's degree from
Georgetown Univer
sity and per-formed
gradu-ate
work at
Yale Uni-versity
and
t h e
Gregorian
University
in Rome,
joined the
Fairfield fac
ulty two years
ago, at the same
time that the Class of
'98 arrived on campus
"Professor Andrews is not
just an astute academic; he has
worked with a number of
causes," Machado said. "He has
a remarkable gift for relating to
students on a personal level."
After expressing his thanks
for the invitation to speak,
Andrews said that he holds a
great deal of affection for the
junior class because he entered
the University at the same time
they did. He proceeded to offer
some comments about tradition.
"The Jesuit tradition helps
make each of you who you are,"
he said, citing imagination, won-der
and authenticity as
the three elements
of that tradition.
"There will
never be
another
person
quite
like
you."
Andkews
pointed
out the
manner in
which one
looks at the
world helps to deter-mine
what one sees in the world.
"Tradition challenges each one
of us personally," he said. "Tra-ditions
do not only carry on the
past, but bring the future."
He added, "Fairfield is not
the name of a place. ..but a living
part of each one of us."
Andrews quoted Keating's
"Carpe Diem- Seize the Day,"
and told the class that they should
recognize the dream of St.
Fairfield football
history is made!
The Stags outplayed Iona Saturday to win their first
game ever, a 27-0 shutout. See story on page 16.

Ignatius Loyola, "to set the world
on fire."
He also issued a challenge to
the Class of '98 to, "Be extraor-dinary.
Search your hearts for
the dream you can't live with-out."
Andrews concluded, "Now
fly. Show us what your dreams
are made of- and make us proud."

Tuesday, Nov. 12, at noon, in
the Barone Campus Center
Lobby, Kadima, the Jewish Stu-dent
Organization at Fairfield
University staged a Jewish Mock
Wedding. Michael Schwartz,
club president and groom mar-ried
Vice President Margo
Friedman, while other club mem-bers
served as wedding partici-pants.
"Since the club is very
small our time in the Campus
Center will help to show off our
club," Schwartz said.
Rabbi Prosnit of Congrega-tion
B'nai Israel in Bridgeport
and adjunct faculty member at
Fairfield conducted the cer-emony.
The purpose behind the
wedding was to increase the
awareness of the club among
other students. Kadima was
started in 1996 and was formed
under the leadership of Dr. Ellen
Umansky, religious studies pro-fessor
and head of the Judaic
Studies department. "I hope that
the wedding was educational and
brought attention to Kadima,
whose members are Fairfield stu-dents,"
said Umansky.
Prosnit began the service with
an introduction and synopsis of
the Jewish marriage contract. In
a Jewish wedding, two witnesses
are necessary. Prosnitjoked, say-ing
that "the witnesses provide
for the college education of the
first born."
He proceeded to lead the
crowd of approximately 100
