A Campus Mourns...
Students at Quinnipiac mourned the death of 20-year old Ricardo Petrillo (source). Petrillo fell from his third floor balcony early Sunday morning, and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival to a local hospital, The Chronicle reported. A large memorial service was held Sunday evening to remember Petrillo.
MOLD AND LICE INVADE: At SCSU and Fairfield U., infestation has become more than a minor annoyance. For Southern-goers, it was mold, found mainly in Brownell but also in other residence buildings on campus (source). The mold infestation required removal and replacement of carpeting and some furniture in many rooms, while clean-up was possible to salvage some of the furniture in other rooms. At Fairfield, it is lice that’s causing a big concern right now (source). With dozens of students diagnosed with lice, some students were frustrated that the school was not more forthcoming about the situation. Lice is easily fought off with over-the-counter medication, but recently because of the situation some local stores found themselves having trouble keeping the medications in stock.
MIXED RESULTS: The various colleges and universities in the area have noted different results in the beginning weeks of the school year. Quinnipiac University had what appeared to be an elevated amount of drinking citations in its first 10 days, while the Sacred Heart Spectrum now reports a fairly quiet start to the school year (source). While the numbers are always interesting to look at, one college-goer that The Buzz talked to noted that it seems like every year it’s a crap shoot: either freshmen don’t realize that college isn’t total freedom, and they get nabbed in large numbers, or they come in knowing what could happen and tend to back off.
TRIAL COMMENCES: Students at Fairfield have been watching carefully the trial against those accused in the murder of Mark Fisher (ongoing coverage is available). As the trial pushes on, additional details that weren’t originally available have been surfacing, painting a more complete picture of what ended up happening that evening, and students are watching to see what the final outcome of the trial will be. The trial is bringing some solace to some Fairfield students, who watched during the first few months as reward offerings continued to increase because no one would come forward with information they knew.
HERE WE GO AGAIN: With Katrina still fresh in our minds, some of the students we talked to were concerned about Hurricane Rita, which was still gathering strength and heading towards Texas as of press time. A number of students The Buzz spoke to were concerned about the situation, especially those who had headed to Texas to avoid the situation in New Orleans.

I'm a SCSU junior and I can tell I'm going to find your blog very useful, if not purely out of curiosity to see how other students are fucking up.
