ByFrankWashkuch
ASSISTANTNEWSEDITOR
Shock spread across the Fairfield
University campus lastWednesday as
word began to reach students and uni-versity
officials that avisitor to the uni-versity
was pronounced dead at St.
Vincent's Medical Centerin Bridgeport
after spending the night in Dolan Hall.
Steven Filipelli, a 19-year old resi-dent
ofLevittown N.Y., was discovered
in a roomvacatedby aDolanresident at
approximately 10:30 am.Whenuniver-sity
students found him to be uncon-scious
and not breathing, Fairfield Uni-versity
Securitywas called to the resi-dence
hall, where Filipelli received
medical attention.
He was then transported by ambu-lance
to St. Vincent's where, after un-dergoing
cardiac arrest, he was pro-nounced
dead at 2:30 p.m., accordingto
a statement issuedbytheFairfield Uni-versity
Office ofPublic Relations.
"It's a tragedy," said William
Schimpf,Vice President ofStudent Ser-vices.
"It's certainly terrible. You feel
verybadlywheneversomethinglike this
happens. The fact that itwas a non-stu-dent
doesn't matter."

Student spends funnymoney
ByLauraWalsh
ASSISTANTNEWSEDITOR
Halloween is a time ofmischiefand
make-believe andFairfield studentshave
no qualms about to extremes for such a
holiday.
In thewake ofHalloween, while most
students and children alike were busy
counting their candy, one Fairfield stu-dent
found himselfin legal trouble after
supposedly using fake money to pur-chase
somethingoffcampus.
According to the Security Depart-ment,
the counterfeitmoneywas initially
manufacturedbyaFairfield student as a
noveltyfor a Halloween costume. These
bills were then spread around to other
students, and a fake $100bill was given
to one student, who allegedly used it to
buy something offcampus.
The case is still under investigation,
and it is not clear whether the student
intentionally meant to spend the coun-terfeit
money.
Because the case is still open, the Se-ajuityDerjartmentwasrductanttomake
anyreal comment atthis time. Security
also refused to release the name ofthe
involved students. TheAssociate Direc-tor
of the SecurityDepartment, FrankJ.
Ficko, said, "Security cannot comment
on this case as it us under investigation
bythe Fairfield Police Department and
Fairfield UniversityJudicial."
In addition, the student accused of
spendingthe moneywould notmake a
statementatthismoment Theotherstu-dents
involved failed to return telephone
calls fromtheMirror, seekingcomment.
Manystudents seem surprised to hear
ofsuch a case occurring at Fairfield.
Gina DelliAquila 03 said: "Because
the case is still open and not all ofthe
facts areknownyet, I can only say that I
now realizehow serious the issue ofus-ingcounterfeitmoneyis,
whetherinten-tional
or not."
Sophomore, Lynn Raimondo, said, "I
don't want to say anythingmcriminat- Look for an update on this story in
ing. But, I will say that I hope every- weeks to come,
thingworks out okay."
