Two finance students whisper during a mock trading session at the Dolan School of Business. Meanwhile, Finance Professor Michael Tucker is pacing the aisle among the students. Tucker sees the students whispering and jovially quips, "no collusion." If the laptops and the Alumni classroom were the virtual trading floor, then for that brief moment Tucker was the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The student senate would like to bring a concern of the student body to your attention. An overwhelming amount of students have expressed their concern and disappointment in our student newspaper, The Mirror. A circulating student paper should cover campus issues in a way that represents the student body. We are concerned that the student voice is not being heard. Student organizations are only one example of unjust attacks and poor portrayal. From this, students are concerned about the negativity continuously affecting the overall morale of Fairfield University.

One of the problems that has been brought to our attention is the reputation of our school. Tour guides continuously experience negative feedback from perspective [sic] students and their families who pick up The Mirror when visiting Fairfield. Further, we understand that alumni subscribe to the paper, receiving negative opinions of their alma mater.

Another issue of concern is the reporting techniques and amount of false information published in The Mirror. In the latest budget meeting, Bill Lucas expressed that a recent finance/tuition article was poorly researched and inaccurate. Students and administrators who have been interviewed for articles have described staff writers' methods as "threatening." This style of journalism is not appropriate and any of Fairfield's media organizations should be held to a higher standard.

We understand that the student paper should question the actions of the student government but we do not agree with the style in which this occurs on a weekly basis. We see this problem as an issue of leadership. We are not looking to censor the media or limit their reporting. We believe there are many talented writers with much potential on The Mirror staff. We are concerned that they may be led in the wrong direction and should have a more balanced perspective.

We are bringing this to the attention of the administration because we feel that it is out of the hands of the students. We want Fairfield to continuously reflect a positive atmosphere and improving the quality of The Mirror would improve that of the university community.

We look forward to hearing your reaction and working together to solve this issue."

Here is a list of the senators that voted on the resolution to send the letter about The Mirror to Fr. Kelley.

His parents, Frank and Marian ignored the advice and raised Chris the same as their other children. It was this decision by his parents that helped Burke transform America's image of the mentally and physically challenged.
