This (rising) junior is a mint: Williams waves enthusiastically to supports after Tuesday night's win.
In one of* the most overwhelming landslides in
recent memory, sophomore Hutchinson Williams
won the FUSA presidency with 819 votes Tuesday
night, defeating junior Ryan Neubauer by a margin
of 508 votes.
"I'm very excited, and things couldn't have gone bet-ter.
I want to assure everyone that it's gonna be a great year,"
said Williams amidst hugs and high-fives from supporters.
"With regards to the margin, I guess the numbers speak for
themselves. But I'm really happy with the voter turnout, I'm glad to see so
many students that came out to vote. Regardless of who wins or loses, we want
someone for whom a large part of the student body comes out and votes."
Williams's running mate, Megan McConville '08 captured the Vice
Presidency with a less commanding majority, defeating junior Ashley Toombs
604-512.
"I'm really excited... very, very happy," said McConville. "It was a tight
race, I was up against great competition. Obviously people have high expecta-tions,
arid now it's even more important that I do a good job."
"It was so close," said Toombs with a tear in her eye. "It was a good race...
I plan on looking into other possible positions in FUSA."
"I was kind of surprised [Williams] won by so much, but it was still a great

FUSA announces Dashboard
Confessional as spring concert
BY KELLY SHEEHAN
"Hands down," FUSA members said
they were proud to announce Tuesday
night that Dashboard Confessional will
be the university's spring concert, sched-uled
for April 6.
"We are extremely excited," said
Jon Velotta '07, co-director of FUSA's
concert programming board. "This was
our first choice."
Dashboard Confessional is an emo
band, led by singer-songwriter Chris Car-rabba.
Although Carrabba often tours as
a solo acoustic act, a fully equipped band
will accompany him to Fairfield.
FUSA was notified that Dashboard
had accepted the bid, which was sub-mitted
the previous week, only hours
before the information was released to
the student body.
"I feel like when students hear about
this, it's going to be well received,"
FUSA President Jessica DiBuono '06
told The Mirror before the announce-ment.
"I think we're going to get good
feedback because this choice was catered
to what students want."
Many students were happy with
FUSA's pick.
"I think a lot of people like them,"
said Will Yost '06. "I know a lot of people
who talk about them a lot."
Meg Malinowski '06 said she is
thrilled that Dashboard is coming to
Fairfield.
"They're one ofmy favorite bands,"
she said. "I think it's great that FUSA
got them to play here. It's hard to appeal
to an entire student body, but I think
Dashboard is a good fit for many of the
students."
