BlindedJustice?
University
Ybhime 27, Number 2
by Lisa Zaccagnino
Sophomore Christine Carpino
returned to her position as a justice
onlheFairfield University Student
Court because she wanted to con-tinue
to serve the Universitycommu-nity
andmake a difference.
Carpino no longer feels that
way.
"I feel we are becoming pup-pets,"
she said"Asymbolic gesture,
butwith no power."
Thissummermeresrxmsibilities
ofthe Student Courtwere changed,
removing certain tasks they once
performed Some changes included
no longer being in charge of fresh-men
parking permit requests and
hearing parking ticket appeals that
are issued for parking in incorrect
lots.
The decision by the Office of
Student Services to reinstate the ''Ju-dicial
Intern" position to Student
Court, is facing opposition from
some ofits members. Another stu-dent
did notfill the vacant post In-stead,
Student Services appointed
Jon Stark residence hall coordina-tor
ofJouges Hall.
According to Kimberly
Nickolenko, director ofjudicial af-fairs,
the position of judicial intern
provides the courtwith a source for
answeringprocedural questions they
may have while hearing a case or
deliberating.The position was last
utilized in 1997.
The idea of returning the posi-tion
of judicial intern to the court
processwasannouncedtothestudent
justices during their intensive train-ing
session on September4.
"It was told to us with a posi-tive
spin," said first-time justice,
GwenNolan'04. "Theystressed that
he was there to help us."

BadCall Studentsagainstnew pin requirements,
t, a nuisance
By Susan Keane
ASSISTANTNEWS EDITOR
While students spent the last two
weeks ofAugust scrambling aroundfor
school supplies,linens and otherimpor-tant
college necessities, many students
forgot to packonevery important enve-lope
thatwas mailedhome thatmonth.
The packet included information
aboutthenewphone service on campus:
a service that will not allow students to
dial outside campus without their per-sonal
security code.
To make a local call you are now
reuired to dial your pin number. Students
will still not be charged for local calls.
This all-importantpersonal security
number, or PSC number,will become
second nature to students, almost like
their social securitynumber,as theyhave
to enter it into the phone every single
time they place a call outside of cam-pus.
Thenewphone service,which
is offered to students from AT&T,
was put into place in hopes of of-fering
a more secure account in
which students are only billed for
the calls theymakeusing theirPSC
number.
Vice Presidentfor Information
Services James Estrada believes
that the AT&T service is best for
studentsbecause itgivesthemcom-petitive
rates andprovidesmore se-curity
than the previous phone sys-tem
"The phone service we had
used in pastyears offered students
a rate of11 cents per minute,which
was high. It also made it easy for
another student to walk into your
room and place a long distance
phone call, andhaveitbilled toyour
roomThenewsystem prevents this
byrequiring students to enter theirPSC
number,"he said.
Many students are complaining
aboutthenewprocess ofdialing a simple
local call, where they used to be able to
dial9andthenthenumber.Nowstudents
have to dial 9, the number they wish to
call, and then enter theirPSC number.
"Ifs so annoying to have to dial in
a number every time Imake a call that I
don't even use the phone inmyroom. I
use my cell phone for all my calls. It
makesmemadthattheuniversitygotthis
newphone systemwhenif s such an in-convenience
to the students,whorarely
use the service anyway/'said Stephanie
Savary'04.
Estrada went on to say that "al-thoughitmightbeconsidereda
nuisance,
thenewphone system controls costsand
provides students with security. Itisalso
a standardsystemusedatmostcolleges.
In Connecticut,Yale,Trinity, and Con-necticut
College all have similar plans
for their students."
