12.5% Price Boost

WVOF, the University radio sta-tion,
recently elected Frank
Marocco as Station Manager for
the 1980-81 school year. Marocco,
a junior, replaces Jack Bello, who
will be graduating in May. Maroc-co's
term will be highlighted by a
number of changes.
The biggest change for WVOF
will be the movement from 88.5 on
the FM dial to a different fre-quency
on the same band. The sta-tion
has received strong encour-agement
to move from 88.5 FM by
a larger organizaton who has ap-plied
for the same frequency.
Marocco explained that the
change was bound to happen due
to the "new Federal Communica-tions
Commission's ruling that 10
watt stations are no longer pro-tected
from takeover by others
which are larger." WVOF is
presently considering 103 FM as a
new position. If the move to 103
FM is successful, Marocco stated,
"We'll be the first non-commercial
station in the commercial band in
this area."
In terms of major changes,
Marocco would like to establish
"more of a liaison between the ad-ministration
and WVOF." In addi-tion,
the new Station Manager
finds it necessary to spend more
time planning for the future which
will include several program
alterations.
High on Marocco's list of
priorities is a program involving
Fairfield town officials which he
believes would benefit the
students. "I want to initiate a
show of town officials, including
the First Selectman and coun-cilmen,
to increase the student's
awareness of what's going on in
town," informed Marocco.
Marocco emphasized that there
will be a substantial increase in
sports coverage on WVOF as of
next fall. Coverage of sports will

A $685 cost increase for atten-ding
Fairfield University will be
passed on to the students effec-tive
this fall.
According to a letter from
university President Aloysius
Kelley, full-time undergraduate
tuition will be raised from $3475 to
$3900, a 12.2 percent hike. Room
and board costs will experience a
12.8 percent mark-up from $1950
to $2200. The general fee will be
raised $10 to $110.
In the letter to students dated
February 29, Kelley remarked that,
"The increases are necessary,
however, to maintain the level and
quality of our programming."
Kelley cited inflation, particularly
the "rapidly escalating energy
costs" as the major reason for pro-posing
the price increases. He ad-ded
that efforts will be made to
keep energy costs down by reduc-ing
usage and he hopes students
will help him in this endeavor.
The president commended the
student body for reducing the
amount of vandalism on campus
and asked everyone to help reduce
"what has been a significant
waste of our resources".
Kelley said that he would have
specific budget information and
projections for the school
available in the coming week.
Republican Dark
Addresses Local
by Ken Vaughn
Republican Presidential can-didate
John Anderson promised a
"determined campaign effort" in
Connecticut while speaking
March 5 at Ottavio's Restaurant in
Fairfield.
Before 250 interested campaign
workers, businessmen and on-lookers,
Anderson told them that
he has a vested interest in the af-fairs
and the upcoming primary in
the state because "many urban
Bush to Meet Businessmen;
Son Campaigns for Dad
by Ken Vaughn
George Bush, Republican
presidential candidate, will ad-dress
the Wright Businessman's
Luncheon March 19 in the univer-sity
Oak Room.
Meanwhile, Neil Bush, son of
the presidential candidate, will be
appearing March 21 at Fairfield
University, according to campus
campaign chairman Kelly Gaffney.
Gaffney said that Bush would
entertain at a "fireside chat" and
talk with interested students and
town residents at the campus
center fireplace from 11:30 to
12:30.
Gaffney said that four others
are helping her to campaign for
the former CIA Director. Her co-chairman
is Margaret Copablo,
while the staff includes Doug
Fauth, Sue Roughley and Maura
Coakley. The campaign work has
primarily been conducting phone
surveys from a Real Estate office
in Fairfield, said Gaffney.
However, future work would in-clude
door-to-door campaigning,
envelope stuffing and attending
and working at campaign benefits.
A table will be set up in the future
in the Campus Center with infor-mation
about Bush to inform
voters in time for the March 25
Republican primary.
Gaffney said that anyone in-terested
in helping the Bush cam-paign
should contact her at Box
2144. All interested students are
welcome.
problems facing the state are re-presentative
of the problems fac-ing
the society we have
developed." He added that he
wants to "walk among" the
residents of the state, and with
time permitting would make a
thorough campaign in the Nutmeg
state.
The Illinois congressman told
reporters that he feels he will do
well in Connecticut because of the
population of moderate and liberal
Republicans registered in the par-ty.
However, his staff has not
taken any polls on the possible
vote in the primary, slated for
March 25.
Anderson spoke of his recent
success in Massachusetts and
Vermont by saying after nine mon-ths
of campaigning, "it was time
to deliver a campaign victory".
What pleased the congressman
the most was the survey taken
among voters which said that he
was the most honest of the
Republican candidates. "There is
a hunger for those who talk to the
be expnded to include Stags
baseball and football in addition to
basketball and hockey. Air time
will also be made available to
Stagette's basketball and Fairfield
Prep games.
Concerning changes in music
programming, Marocco informed:
"We're going to veer away from
top 40 and turn to fussion jazz, a
mixture of rock and jazz with ar-tists
such as Weather Report and
Pat Metheny." An expansion of
the current progressive rock
shows is also probable for the
next year.
Because WVOF's budget is
quite tight, Marocco expressed in-terest
in setting up fund raisers in
order to increase the amount of
available finances. Marocco
stated that as new Station
Manager he would like most of all
to "make WVOF more prominent,
more respected than it has been in
the past, not only on campus, but
off campus too."

public to be really honest." Ander-son
attributed much of his suc-cess
to his New England cam-paign
that brought him to many
colleges and universities. Ander-son
said he hoped he played a
small part in remotivating the
political interests of students,
which has produced gatherings of
nearly 2000 spectators at Yale
University and Massachusetts In-stitute
of Technology. "My cam-paign
is not lavishly rich or loaded
with a lot of propaganda that a lot
of other candidates like to use,"
said Anderson. He reiterated this
point at the end of his address by
saying that his campaign was a
volunteer effort.
Anderson touched upon the
energy issue, putting in a plug for
his "50/50 proposal" which would
put a domestic tax on gasoline
rather than allow OPEC (Organiza-tion
of Petroleum Exporting Coun-tries)
to tax our oil and pocket the
money. The presidential candidate
said that efforts to promise us so

Committee Formed to
Consider Stag-Her Expansion
by Jean Leber
A plan to reduce waiting lines
by expanding the Stag-Her Inn is
currently under consideration by
an adhoc committee. The decision
to form this committee was made
two weeks ago by the student
legislature when it was realized
that there is a definite need for an
improvement of the present Stag-
Her situation.
The goals of this ad hoc com-mittee
include increasing the size
of the Stag-Her to accomodate fif-ty
to seventy more students and
the addition of wine and sangria to
the beverage menu. Through these
improvements, it is hoped that
non-resident students will be
more inclined to come to the Stag-
Her on weekends, thus creating
greater student union between
commuters, beach residents, and
campus boarders. One commuter
has been quoted as saying that he
"doesn't come to Fairfield on the
weekends because there are a lot
better bars."
Presently, the committee's
plans for expansion include exten-ding
the Stag-Her to include the
commuter lounge. This could be
accomplished by removing the
wall between the Stag-Her and the
lounge and installing a sliding
wall. In this way, the commuters
could have their lounge during the
day and the Stag-Her could be
enlarged at night when student
overflow is greatest. Although this
idea is only tentative it has been
backed by the commuter club.
Also, one member of the commit-tee
descibes the reactions of
several top administrators as be-ing
" open and receptive to the
ideas." John Anderson (Photo by Phil Gerety)
