Letters to the Editor

To the Editor: First of all, I understand that the article about the clichéd stereotypes of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts was supposed to be funny. I fully recognized the intention for humor. Few people I talked to found the article amusing though.

To the Editor: I would like to give another opinion of Russell Crowe's music. His latest CD, "Other Ways of Speaking" sounds as good, if not better than anything that is out there! I listen to it every night when I am cooking dinner. It is upbeat, understandable lyrics and awesome, uplifting music...just an extension of Mr.

To the Editor: In December 2004, Professor Elizabeth Hohl of the history department was the first recipient of the Distinguished Adjunct Teaching Award. Liz well deserves it: she has presented innovative courses and has been a mentor to many students. In its recognition of her achievements, Fairfield University acknowledges not only Liz, but all the hard working, dedicated corps of adjuncts.

To the Editor: In last week's issue of The Mirror, I was surprised to find an attack against Michael Bond's writing. Ironically, this letter followed Dean Reed's call to raise the bar on the content contained in The Mirror. Personally, I am a big fan of the newspaper, though I have to acknowledge that it does not encompass events that occur outside the Fairfield community.

To the Editor: I'm requesting that the staff of The Mirror assign Michael Bond a topic lacking despair and bitterness in favor of, dare I say it, happiness. As his many readers will attest, anger obviously falls within Mr. Bond's niche. I feel that as a publication of a Jesuit university that encourages the development of well-rounded students, The Mirror should follow suit and encourage the development of well-rounded writers on its staff.

To The Editor: Home court advantage used to mean something. It meant that when another team came into our gym, our court, our house,they were not leaving with a win. This past Wednesday, Marist come into our...

To the Editor: Let me start off by saying that I am glad to see that someone is finally taking the time to write about Fairfield's dive team. However, I do feel that you should have looked a little bit closer at the rest of the team. When I read the article "Diving into the Spotlight" one sentence caught my eye especially, "Penwell has been the top diver for the Stags this season.

Concerning your article by Ali Bart about RateMyProfessor.com: Allow me to add to Irene Mulvey's concern about the reliability of this site. I just went online and wrote a glowing comment on one of my courses. I then went to another computer and wrote a complete trashing of myself.

To the Editor: I was just thrilled to see Fairfield University students attending the League of Women's Voters Meeting on Tuesday at the First Church. It was the first time in my 50 years of being a member of the Women's League that Fairfield students or any college students have been at any of our meetings.

To the Editor: I would appreciate an opportunity to respond to Mr. Teti's question. He wanted to know if I ever heard about the separation of church and state. Mr. Teti, I do realize the importance of the separation of church and state. I also do not want my religious convictions mixed with politics.
