Amidst growing diplomatic tension in the Middle East, Fairfield University students have begun to speak out against war along with millions of others around the world. Last week, students participated in anti-war functions on and off campus demonstrating what they believe to be the purest form of patriotism.

On Wednesday, Jan. 15 five Fairfield University students were arrested on conspiracy to commit criminal mischief charges after being accused of smashing mailboxes in the area, according to the Jan. 16 issue of the Connecticut Post. Juniors John Kelleher, Timothy Sheehan and Shawn Schuerlein, along with sophomores Matthew Shea and Katharine Tully, were accused of smashing nine mailboxes with a baseball bat on Osborne Hill Road, Hersh Road, Lawrence Road, Limerick Road, Shadow Wood Road and Carroll Road.
