Author Letter to the Editor

In the last couple of days, there has been a lot of debate about a performance at Apollo Night. After reading the opinion section of The Mirror, it was clear that both authors made valid points.

In the article, Robert Joyce stated that FU students Ferry and Peacock "have gained support from FUSA and COSO." This is an inaccurate statement for several reasons.

Doug Perlitz has been sentenced for his inhumane crime. To attempt to hold Fairfield University responsible for the amount of hundreds of millions of dollars seems to be a misplaced attempt for lawyers to capitalize on the situation.

I would like to set the record straight about my involvement in last weekend's Dolan Hall brawl. First, I was actually not present during the event that was mentioned by the press. The incident I did witness was a previous confrontation; while leaving my room I witnessed a fight between my roommate, his brother and a few other students from down the hall. I did what I believe to have been right, which was to try to protect everyone and help break up the fight.

To the Editor: The article that Danica Ceballos wrote about the Fairfield reaction to the Boston Marathon bombing deserves special mention.  It was so sensitive to what the people written about had...
