Editorial: Actions not orientation

The American Red Cross is an invaluable organization that people throughout the world rely upon for survival. Millions of people donate their blood to aid others. Yet, the need for blood is always at a premium and additional selfless individuals are always in high demand.

Editorial: ‘Staggering’ transition

As President-elect Jeff Seiser '10 digs his heels into the office of his face-painted super-stag predecessor Hutch Williams '08, Seiser will have to set his own agenda - one that is in line with the needs of students. His recent victory is evidence that the student body is confident in Seiser's experience, which is highlighted by his class presidency and close work with Williams.

Editorial: Not down with OCB

Approximately 100 angry juniors were told that they would not be able to join their classmates in living off campus during their senior year. This is not an issue solely centered on the inability to live with friends or experience independent living. There is an even bigger problem at hand: the very flawed housing system at Fairfield.

Editorial: Speak up, Luda

Speak up, Luda: Students can't seem to agree on the ultimate FUSA act, but perhaps something they will agree on is that whomever the performer is should be enthusiastic about their Fairfield visit. Even though Ludacris will be rocking Alumni Hall on Friday, his publicist said last week that no interviews will be given - this includes The Mirror.

Editorial: From Prohibition to Phony IDs

Fake IDs are basically synonymous with the college experience. Hailing from high schools around the country, incoming freshmen are eager to attend their first keg party and drink beer until the word "sober" becomes a distant concept in their minds.

Editorial: How about some R-E-S-P-E-C-T?

The recent vandalism of a stairwell in Campion Hall creates a pause and reaffirms just how far some Fairfield students are from the real world. While the actions are deplorable, it is sad to see prejudices and stereotypes of the lowest caliber expressed at an institution of higher education.

Editorial: As the world turns

A .22 caliber pistol in a dorm. That is all the information needed to realize that Saturday night's incident in Regis Hall was so much more than a weekend scuffle. It was an awakening to the entire Fairfield community. While no shots were fired and the situation was resolved by the joint efforts of Public Safety and Fairfield Police, the fight, which could have potentially escalated to a more serious degree, is a reminder that the boundaries of Fairfield's beautifully isolated campus can be penetrated, allowing the harsh realities of the real world to seep in.

Editorial: Cheers to Luda, Boos to OCB

Ludacris may be adding 2-0-3 to his list of favorite area codes this year. Students said they are more than content that the famed hip hop artist and actor will be this year's FUSA concert. FUSA's choice reflects a campus-wide desire to take a new direction in concert choices; recent Fairfield concerts have included the likes of O.A.R., Dashboard Confessional and Guster, which can hardly be considered eclectic selections.
