Thursday, September 24,1998
A tragic welcome back
John O'Dea
Co-Commentary Editor
The first weekend back for
students was marred by an automo-bile
accident on Reef Road involv-ing
three Fairfield students.
Jason McClure '02 and
Blaise Silka '02 were struck on
Reef Road just south of Edward
Street, police and witnesses said.
Colleen Capuzzi '01, driving a teal
1992 Saturn, struck the two at 1:43
a.m. on Saturday, September 12.
Both McClure and Silka
were rushed to Bridgeport Hospi-tal
for treatment. McClure said he
will undergo surgery on his knee on
Friday and will miss the rest of the
semester. According to the Con-

The road still shows the spray-painted stick figures indicating where the two students had been
thrown. Police also marked where one victim's sneakers had landed — several feet from where
he lay.
necticut Post, Silka was treated for
head lacerations and discharged
later that Saturday.
According to one wit-ness,
the Saturn struck the two
students almost simultaneously.
"I walked outside once and
I heard a thump said the female stu-dent
and Reef Road resident who
dialed 911. "I thought maybe some
people were hitting cars."
"I saw one kid face down in
the street in a pool of blood. I called
911 then I saw the other kid down
the street."
The driver of the car, Col-leen
Capuzzi '01, declined to com-ment
on the incident.
Police refused to speculate
whether alcohol played a part in the
incident. The case is still under in-vestigation.
The University has not yet
determined if any disciplinary ac-continued

With the introduction of
various new resources, the Fairfield
University athletic program has
made great strides in the past year
and a half to improve its facilities
here on campus.
The University constructed
the Athletic Center, for student-ath-letes,
to include computer and
study labs, a state- of-the art weight
room, and indoor practice facilities.
Over the summer the astro-turf
University Field, was built over
Campion Field, and currently
Alumni Softball Field is under con-struction
nearby. With the con-struction
of these new facilities,
it is apparent that Fairfield is dedi-cated
to improving the
University's athletic reputation by
enabling the student-body, faculty,
coaches, and student-athletes will
be able to compete and exercise
with more ease, and on better
sites.
University Field will be
used as a practice and game facil-ity
for many varsity sports, but in
addition, the intramural program
will have access to the field.
Whereas in the past the unpredict-able
fall and spring weather often
muffled practice and game sched-ules,
a special
snow plow with
a rubber blade
will enable
teams to play in
virtually any
weather. With
numerous
teams playing
outside on Uni-versity
Field,
there will be
less congestion
at the RecPlex,
which will im-prove
workouts

Plenty of construction has been taking place on Fairfield's campus.
