building will both break ground.
In late April, the utilities sur-rounding
the Campus Center will be-gin
to be vacated, according to Dirk van
Luling, program managef'for Gilbane

revisions have been completed, the en-trance
will be shifted temporarily to the
Oak Room, according to van Luling.

Bush hails
By Drew Luthern
STAFF WRITER
Less than three hours after The
Mirror hit newsstands on Fairfield
University's campus last Thursday
morning, Texas Governor George W.
Bush canceled his scheduled campaign
stop here.
With Bush's cancellation,
Fairfield lost the chance to be flooded
with more than 100 media personnel
from television and newspapers. Sev-eral
Fairfield students lamented on
missing a golden opportunity to splash
Fairfield fed across television screens
and newspaper headlines nationwide.
"It's a shame that such an impor-tant
figure in politics turned down the
chance to visit a great school," said
Erica Chedid, '00. "But we really missed
out on being seen all over the country -
I'm from the Midwest, and nobody knows
about Fairfield unless you go to a Jesuit
high school."
Although many students on campus
did feel that Fairfield was merely used as
a pawn in Bush's campaign, one professor
of politics says that the decision was most
likely made from a smart political perspec-tive.
"[Bush's campaign] was not slight-ing
us; they were going to use Fairfield,
but decided not to," said Dr. Donald
Greenberg. "The campaign made a deci-sion
that the value of visiting a Jesuit in-stitution
in response to the Bob Jones [Uni-versity]
incident, was not necessary."
Greenberg's comments were made
despite speculation that the only reason for
Bush's cancellation was that there was no
