Risqué business: “Girl” borrows from an 80s classic

Sure, plagiarism may not be admirable, but in the case of the newest teen flick, "The Girl Next Door", it sure is smart. The plot borrows liberally from the Tom Cruise classic "Risky Business" (in my opinion perhaps the greatest flick about teenage rebellion ever), a smart move considering director Luke Greenfield's only previous flick is the Rob Schneider disaster "The Animal".

Letter to the Editor:Nickeled and dimed here at Fairfield

Letters to the Editor represent the opinions of the writer and not those of the Mirror To The Editor: Why do townhouse residents at Fairfield seem to get the short end of the deal when it comes to living arrangements? I pay a total of around $4,500 for room and board to live with 4 other people for one semester not including utilities which I have calculated about $100-200 per person.

Editorial: Drugs at Fairfield: Are they a problem?

It is not every day that student residences are raided by law enforcement agencies and students are arrested on charges of drug dealing. In this week's article about drugs on campus, Dean of Students Mark Reed called the recent arrests "troubling." When such extraordinary events take place on campus, it gives everyone an opportunity to take pause and reflect on the issue.

I’m a junior; give me a peephole

In three short weeks I will be completing my junior year here at Fairfield University and my tenure as an on-campus student. In three weeks I'll not only be leaving Fairfield to return home, but I'll also be leaving my lovely suite in Claver Hall. Needless to say I was slightly bitter last September when my friends were moving into their beach houses and townhouses and I was moving into yet another dorm.

He Said: “No more double standards”

Danielle and I write this column for fun and we most certainly don't get paid to do it. We write because we actually enjoy it, so the primary purpose of our column is to make people laugh. In order to make people laugh, we shy away from important issues such as the war or gay marriage.
