How high is marijuana user>
BY JULIE MCDERMOTT
Herb. Ganja. Dope. The
"chrons." Have you heard these
words lately? These words, along
with many others, are nicknames
for the illegal drug Marijuana.
Unfortunately these words are
not uncommon with the staff at the
Fairfield University Security De-partment.
The campus crime statistics
are stark: drug violations at
Fairfield have gone up from 32 in
1999 to 67 in 2000 to 107 in 2001.
The Campus Crime Beat section
of The Mirror reports additional
violations in Fall '02.
But the statistics come as no
surprise to students and adminis-trators.
"I actually just saw a kid get
caught with a lot of marijuana in
his dorm room the other day," said
Cara Milo,'05. 'That just shows
you that people are doing it and
there's a lot of it going on."

$10 million anonymously donated
to Fairfield capital campaign
BY ETHAN FRY
Fairfield University took a
significant step towards its $125
million capital campaign earlier
this week, when the school an-nounced
an anonymous donor
made a $10 million gift to the uni-versity.
According to the President of
Fairfield University, Rev. Aloysius
P. Kelley, S.J., the gift was made
by a friend of the university who
is impressed with Fairfield's
progress towards the capital
campaign's goal of $125 million.
"While we would prefer to
recognize this generous benefac-tor
publicly," Kelley said, "we
must honor the donor's desire to
forego such acknowledgement.
We are deeply grateful for the con-fidence
in Fairfield that this most
gracious support so clearly evi-dences."
Nancy Habetz, a spokes-woman
for the university, said that
the $10 million gift puts Fairfield
just $15 million shy if its $125
million goal, with just over one
year left in the campaign.
"We originally set our cam-paign
goal at $100 million," said
George Diffley, vice president for
advancement, "but this gift, which
greatly assisted us with this new
facilities portion of that agenda,
also encouraged us to raise our
goal by an additional $25 million,
so we might accomplish even more
than we first envisioned."
Habetz also said that this gift
is the second largest donation ever
given to the university, behind a
$25 million gift given to Fairfield
by Charles and Helen Dolan, after
whom the business school is
named. Charles Dolan is the
founder and chairman of
Cablevision Systems Corp.

Former FUSA
senators upset
over expulsion
BY JOSHUA O'CONNELL
Three former FUSA senators,
who were removed after missing
a Senate training meeting on Sat-urday,
are speaking out against the
way they were removed.
Seniors Chris Martino, Ryan
Leeds and
Thomas
Callaghan
believe that the
current
attendance
policy leaves
no room for
error or
discussion and
that they were
removed due to
a miscommuni-cation
between
VP of Senate
Casey Butterly,
Senate Advisor
Steve Winkel,
and themselves.
The
senate's current
policy on
attendance is
that if a senator
has two
unexcused
absences from
meetings that have been desig-nated
as official, they are to be
removed from their position.
According to Winkel,
Martino, Leeds and Callaghan
missed a training session on Sat-urday
that the Senate determined
to be an official meeting where at-tendance
would count. They did
not attend and were not excused
from the meeting, Winkel said.
According to the official senate
attendance records, this yielded a
second unexcused absence for
Leeds and Callaghan, and the third
unexcused absence for Martino.
However, Martino and Leeds
said they were excused from the
training on Saturday. "There was
a clerical error between Casey and
myself," Martino said.
