Letters to the Editor

The office of Residence Life has created a new rule that says RAs cannot hold a high position in an organization or club for fear that they will neglect their residents. I am writing to you regarding a restriction I was told will be placed on the RAs for next semester.

Protestor an 'arrogant nuisance' Like many others, I was disgusted after reading the newspaper article detailing the way the writer went about harassing the army recruiters who came to Fairfield. I was surprised that the article was written, due to the fact that Levy made himself come across as an arrogant nuisance.

To the Editor: In a recent issue of The Mirror, a newly added game review section caught my eye. I was delighted to see a capable video game reviewer. It seemed he had not fallen into the hype-o-meter style of evaluating games that has plagued video game reviews for the past couple of years.

As an alumnus, I was disappointed and embarrassed by the total lack of student support this afternoon in Alumni Hall for your women's basketball team. The hard-fought game against league-leading Marist had only 26 of you students at the game - that's right 26.

Recognize our rights I was very disappointed by Lt. Nero's knee-jerk reaction to The Mirror's (entirely balanced) coverage of the peace march in New York City. As a student who attended the march, I'm offended at the way Nero makes assumptions, such as "the participants lack factual information and a credible position" and that we are "simply followers of a cause.

Three people won't be reading The Mirror anytime soon because of the He Said: columns and our coverage of the New York City war protests.

Women hate it. Class discussions have been devoted to it. It is the bane of one tour guide's existence. It is the column, "He Said." "This time he's gone too far" is what one Facebook group had to say about the feature writer, Dan Stanczyk '08. "He Said," which is traditionally a sharp, humorous criticism about a college-themed topic, is printed every week in the Coffee Break section of The Mirror.

Read a heartfelt letter from the class of 2010 thanking students for honoring and remembering classmates who have passed and a call for Fairfield students to support the volleyball team.

To the Editor: I can look past the Columbus Day Weekend bashing and even the wild assumptions and generalizations of Dan Stanczyk's enthralling 'He Said' column, but this week had me particularly fired up. Although he makes some accurate commentaries on the female population here at Fairfield, he falls short at not being able to recognize the small yet strong fourth group of women.

I am not a cigarette smoker and I am certainly proud to say it. In an Oct. 4 article, Mr. Andrew Chapin ('09) jokes that it's a good thing adolescent girls have turned to cigarettes to lose weight rather than speed or coke. Cigarettes kill 400,000 people a year in the United States and cost more than $167 billion in annual health related costs.
