Campus Design The had news for the year was the-hilt fire which caused nearly a nnllion dollars damage to the liannow Science Cienter. But the good news far outweighed the had in terms of campus changes. Ifive new sets of townhouses opened for iuniors and seniors. Also. students returning to school in September found a new road separating Nysehus Lihrary from Kostlsa dormitory, huilt in anticipation of the planned construction of a chapel and a theater-art center. ln addition. plans were underwat to close the road which traxels hetween the C.ampus Center and Canisius. and to lax grass and wallcwaxs.

Service organizations had a banner year, with the support of a regrouped Service Council, the student council which oversees all service organizations. Debates on campus focused on injustice in Central America, homelessness, AIDS, and racial integration. There was a general feeling that Fairfield's religious integrity was as strong as ever. Academics Big changes occurred in the academic arena when Dr. Robert Stepsis took over as Academic Vice President, and Francis Hannafey, SJ., became his assistant. Stepsis stressed the centrality ofthe undergraduate mission of the school, led the search for new professors to fill positions in the School of Business, and worked to reverse the trend of declining enrollment in the School of Nursing. Elsewhere, the Communications Arts Program organized under a new leader, Dr. Mark Cox, as the University announced the closing of the Graduate School of Communications. Finally, Dean David Danahar of the College of Arts and Sciences continued to oversee the review of the core curriculum, the first review since 1979. The reevaluation was expected to last until the 1988-89 academic year. Student Organizations Among student organizations, The Fairfield University Student Association, the student government, cruised with strong leadership and increased membership. Successes included more events for students, stronger class councils, and a stronger budget. The new Fairfield University Glee Club was in the spotlight all year, as controversy raged during the first semester over the merge of the men's Glee Club and the Chamber Singers. The merge X created dissension among a large portion of the I'niversity community, and a new club was formed, the Fairfield Ambassadors of Song, a male choir not recognized by Fairfield University but consisting of students, alumni, and members of the community. Four other organizations which monopolized the spotlight this year were the Council of Student Organizations CCOSOL which oversees and unites all clubs on campus and which this year increased its commitment to the clubs, the Manor Video, the universitys first video yearbook, Circle K, for running the blood drives and other events to aid local organizations, and the Irish Society, which worked beyond their traditional Luck of the Roommate dance and sponsored an Irish pub night and other campus-wide events. Finally, new club of the year honors go to Roteract, affiliated with a local branch of Rotary International. In its first year. Roteract ran a food ll pn. 'T Q drive, volunteered at a Fairfield soup kitchen. and raised money for Fairfields Drive for Five scholarship program. The Class of 1988 On an individual basis, two seniors who didn't receive much credit this year but deserve it are Carmine Anzalone and Carole Brown. Anzalone served as President of the Connecticut Student Association and New England Representative to the United States Student Association. Brown served as Secretary for Circle K International. Both Anzalone and Brown frequently travelled to student conventions in other states, carrying with them the image of Fairfields Class of 1988. They did us proud. Many of the years successes can be attributed to a strong senior class. Each member of the Class of '88 contributed to the class personality. That personality shapes Fairfield I'niversity forever jnfnz Cnzzrrzmzmfat Fun and games in '88 Left top: Time just about runs out on a turn in Pictionary, the years favorite board game.
