He has been a cab driver for six years now and has been held up "only once" back in January of 1988.. He expressed his glee over the fact that they only wanted his money and not the cab or his slacks or even his life. Last year, Michael J. Fox was a passenger in Artemio's cab. His destination?

By Patrick McCarthy I first heard the British singer/songwriter Kate Bush with the release of her acclaimed 1985 album. Hounds of Love. Although she was previously a critical and commercial success in her homeland for many years, it wasn't until this release that she found a large audience in the United States. The success of Hounds of Love surpassed that of cult status, and its first single, the chilling "Running up that Hill," broke into the lower echelons of the top 40 charts. (Not bad for such an unconventional song). A year later she solidified her popularity with The Whole Story, a collection of singles. It was this album that hooked me. I was intrigued by the unpredic- tability of Bush's songs and inscrutability of her musk. Just last month, she released her latest alburn The Sensual World. Unfortunately, however, after three years of anticipation, it is a somewhat ethereal than outright sexual, and Bush's vocals disappointing effort.

You know, one of those really rough days, when you fail an exam, have a fight with the fami- ly, or get stuck in the rain without an umbrella? Everybody has them, but the next day usually promises something bet- ter, or at least different. Unfortunately, there are people in this city and in this world, whose whole lives consist of bad days. Thanksgiving. Just look at the word for a few minutes. Are there many of us who can say that this word's meaning is what we will truly celebrate this November 23rd? Oh no, the elevators are stuck again. You're going to be late for class. But as you stand there, try to realize that you at least have the opportunity to go late to a class. You don't have to stand outside the building, wondering what college would be like, knowing fully well that you'll never be able to find out. Lack of a high school diploma will never haunt you in your search for a job. You are the privileged— the educated. Remember that this holiday. Oh great, your train hasn't moved in 20 minutes and the conductor just announced that it doesn't have any intention of doing so for at least another 20. You're going to be late for work, again. But wait a second. Look around you. Do you see the young mother down the train, trying to keep her kids in their seats? She's also trying to look through the classifieds at the same time. She isn't circling many listings. Remember her this holiday. It's Thanksgiving now, and you're with the family. Not every CLC student has the luxury of spending the holiday with special people, and neither do a lot of people hi this world. However, all of us must remember that we really don't have it all that bad. Fordham lacks many things to many students, but it also provides us with an education, a priceless tool nowadays, and an absolute essential for the future. Please be thankful that you have what you have. It might be an overpriced, understaffed university education, it may be living in a declining city. But you don't live on the streets. You don't go hungry. Your pride doesn't suffer irreparable CLC OBSERVER damage. Open your eyes and look at the world you live in. And then, say * 'thank you." EDITORIAL BOARD

SPORTS - The Frustration of a Jet Fan

By Dominkk F. Guerriero When the Jets season began, I was extremely optimistic about the team's future. Last season, the Jets had a respectable 8-7-1 record and they finished off the season by beating a top NFL team, the New York Giants. According to Jets' Mike Hickey, Director of Player Personnel and Head Coach Joe Walton, this season should have been even better. Hickey and Walton both brag- ged about how good a draft the club had. Rookies like Jeff Lageman, Dennis Byrd and Ron Stallworth would make the Jets an even better team than last year. Jet Owner Leon Hess This past Sunday after I attended the Jets- Dolphins game, I came to the conclusion that never accept the blame tor the Jets' losing ways Hickey and Walton both lied to me. I've been Instead, they blame it on injuries, individual a Jet fan for nine seasons, ever since my father players and inexplicable forces of nature. As long took me to see a Jet-Colt game in 1980, and I as Hickey and Walton lead the Jets I see no hope have never seen a Jet team look worse than this for their future. I'm beginning to feel like a New year. Even back in 1980, when the team had a York Ranger fan. I might be dead and buried miserable 4-12 season, at least they played with before the Jets win the Superbowl. heart and emotion. This year the Jets look like In order for the Jets to turn things around, they they would rather be watching football than play- must really rebuild this time. They must begin ing it. In 1980 the Jets were a young and up and at the top, Walton, Hickey, Royer and Gutman coming team. Nine years later, Walton talks must all be replaced with knowledgable football about rebuilding the Jets with youth. He feels the people. Most people don't realize that the'Jets Jets are once again up and coming. I think it's don't even have a General Manager. Instead, ac- great that Walton wants to go with youth but how countants, second rate football scouts apd lousy long is it going to take to rebuild? The Jets have coaches run the team. Jets owner Leon Hess talks been rebuilding since Superbowl HI was over. about how much he wants to win.' Well, talk is I hate to break the news to Jet management, but cheap and it's time to take action. Leon, stop Joe Namath doesn't live here anymore. The glory spending your money on work-out facilities, stop years are over. In the last 20 years the Jets have buying new astro-turf practice fields, and get us had one really good season and was not even a Jet fans a General Manager. full season.

So Mr. Hess, before next season, Jet half-backs like Roger Vick need better blocking replace him with Joe Walton.
