THE BEAUTIFICATION OF FAIRFIELD
Many students are relieved that
campus construction appears to finally
be nearinganendHowever,the Barone
Campus Center and Bannow Science
Center may be
just the first
roundofimprov-ing
Fairfield
University's
campus.
The campus
master plan,
originally un-veiled
in October
1995, was meant
to be a frame-work
for future
the development
of the campus while still meeting
Fairfield's changing needs.
Thewere several main goals of the
plan at its onset. The first was to meet
main short-term needs, like the addition

"We don't have to worry about
cramming 5,000 seats in there," said

$7 million: are athletics worth the price tag?
BY SUSAN KEANE
Free textbooks for students.
Big name bands. Better Barone food.
More scholarship money.
Howwouldyou spend $7 mil-lion
dollars of
Fairfield's
money?
For the
2000-2001 year,
Fairfield spent
over $7 million
dollars on athlet-ics.
According to
one long time
critic of the
sports pro-gram—
Dr.Vincent Rosivach, director
of the Classical Studies program—this
amount is excessive and needs to be
capped
"For the 2000-2001 academic year
Where does
YOUR
money go?
the Athletic Departmentreported to the
Federal government spending
$7,111,9111 on varsity sports," said
Rosivach. "TheDiMenna addition to the
library cost $12.6 million. At last year's
rate ofspending onvarsity athleticswe
could build a new DiMenna every two
years and still have moneyto spare."
Rosivach hasbeen actively tracking
the sportsbudgetovertime andhasbeen
trying to draw attention to howmuchis
spent on sports at Fairfield, andthe data
he has collected is hard to dispute- al-though
others oncampus drawdifferent
conclusions from it
The university president, Father
Aloysius P. Kelley, S.J., believes that
Fairfield's budget is competitive com-paredto
our opponents.
"Fairfield's athletic budget is not
large for an institution our size,"said
