By Pat Borzi When I first sat down to try to figure out what I was going to write in my final col- legiate column, I drew a blank. What could I write that wasn't like anything any other sap- py senior wrote a few days before gradua- The Borz-Eye View of Some tion? Nobody wants to read about the bars again, and we already have a sports col- umnist in this issue. Then, while cruising the campus in search of a typewriter to compose this on, it hit me. Birds And Brains And What about a column of mini-Fordham Pro- files? Not the usual ones, but little capsule observations of people I've interviewed or dealt with in my four years here. All right, so it isn't such an original idea. But try it, you might like it. Besides, it'll probably be more More Than A Few Beauts interesting than our graduation speaker.... Without any more silliness, here goes: Bill Crawley, .ex-Vice-President for Stu- dent Affairs: His office reminded me of Mor- dor, the dark land of the lord of the Rings trilogy. The curtains, the paneling, the fur- niture—everything suggested blackness. It al- so seemed he wore black every time 1 inter- viewed him. Crawley was a tough interview because you could never gel a definite answer out of him. During a 30-minute discussion in January, 1978 about the firing of basketball coach Dick Stewart, Crawley would not reveal a single fact leading to the decision. Four days earlier, or two days before Stewart was fired, Crawley told another reporter that Stewart would not be fired. Crawley refused to be pinned down when confronted on that point, either. The night Crawley's resignation was con- firmed, 1 was in the Lantern, one beer away from being a total asshole. When Jim Dwyer told me the news, 1 stood there for several seconds, in shock. 1 knew then that an era had ended at Fordham. Dave Rice: This might be hard to believe, but I don't really despise the man though 1 have every reason to do so. What Rice did to me appeared to be done out of a combination of anger, fear and confusion. Rice has difficulty dealing with people off the football field, probably because he is still learning the ins and outs of administrative life. He makes mistakes. He made one in my case. I don't hold any grudge, though, and hope that at the end of this paragraph, the matter will be put to rest permanently. There's one thing I'll always remember about Rice. We were involved in a tense in- terview in his office last year when a little white mouse sprinted across the floor. Rice smiled and said the mouse had appeared in the office on a regular basis. "I guess I ought character 1 have seen anywhere.

In others, at least the shaky confidence that a lasting friendship has begun. C.S.

But mature friendship hap- pens in experiences beyond the pseudo-rituals of fraternities or the claustrophobic male camaraderie of The Deer Hunter. It happens when two, then three, men or women discov- er a value they share, when they see the same thing. It is a kind of love where, as Emerson says, "Do you love me?" means rather, "Do you see, or at least care about, the same truth?" That is what universities are for. They bring together men and women of different ages and experiences, introduce them to one another, and then introduce them to the same ' truths. . So friendships often begin best in class- rooms, first complaining with the person next to us about the assignment, then dealing with ideas which in some way we must either accept or reject if we are to both deal ade- quately with the literature and develop a set of values of our own.

Small in size (it is, perhaps, a foot tall), the bell—grey green and tarnished by years of abuse in the wind and rain—hangs stoically from a pagoda-like housing which in turn rests atop an eight-foot tall base made of granite blocks. How many times have 1 walked past that bell in the last four years? Literally thou- sands, 1 suppose. And yet it never occurred to me until a few weeks ago that the bell might have been put there for reasons other than ornamentation. Like many people who commute to and from Rose Hill, 1 tend to view the campus and its surroundings only in terms of the Campus Center, Edwards Parade, and whatever building my classes happen to be in. On the morning that I decided to stop by and investigate the bell, a coat hanger swung directly below the clapper. It was hooked on to a metal ring that should have held a rope or a chain. I walked up to the grey granite base and looked at a large bronze plaque em- bedded there. On it was inscribed the follow- ing: Presented By Admiral CHESTER W.

There was a professor and student who worked on the F.U.S.E.S. solar energy project. There was also a mil- itant fellow who wanted to handcuff himself to the White House gates and then swallow the key. Somebody else brought along a uni- versity sheet which read, "Fordham Univ., Bronx, N.Y. says No Nukes." The majority of us on the bus were people who felt that we have been on the sidelines too long and now we wanted to get in the game. As we entered the capital at 9:00 A.M., we were shocked to see that the city was desert- ed. It was not until we reached the Washing- ton Monument that we saw any people who looked like they were going to march. At first glance, we were disappointed at the size of the crowd.

But over the lour years we've been at Rose Hill, all the challenges facing America's cities have become focused and symbolized by the Neighborhood struggle for survival of this area, Fordhatn University's home, the Bronx. Whether or not we expected it when we chose to attend Fordham, part of our educa- tion has been witnessing this urban survival drama played out to the accompaniment of politician's promises by day and fire engines' sirens by night. The drama first heightened when we ar- rived as freshmen in 1975 and the two words most often linked in the news with New York City were "fiscal crisis." The city fathers be- gan to talk of the need for "service cut- backs." For the neighborhood around Rose Hill, that translated into the decision in October of 1975 to shut down Fordham Hospital. Some of us may have joined with area resi- dents in rallying against the move—all to no avail. The facility was closed and in the sum- mer months between our final exams as sophomores and registration for junior year, the 70-year-old hospital fell before the wreck- er's ball. Neighborhood leaders had fought for the buildings as part of "the heart of the com- munity." The site was purchased by the Uni- versity and transformed this year into a stu- dent parking lot.

Fordham's commercial strip has been decimated by arsonists.

After the futile fight to save the hospital, there were few events during our four years which caused us to take the Bronx's problems to heart. In October of our junior year, when Jimmy Carter walked amidst the rubble on Charlotte Street, immortalizing it as the sym- bol of the worst possible urban deterioration, how many of us realized that site was no more than a mile and a half from Rose Hill? Or when the television cameras zoomed in on the buildings burning around Yankee Sta- dium during the 1978 World Series—and Howard Cosell became an instant urban analyst—we could keep our distance, watch- ing it on TV along with the rest of the nation. The evidence of building abandonment and arson has crept up to Fordham Road and north of it.-However, these problems which the nation has come to equate with the "South Bronx" catch phrase still seemed somewhere safely beyond our campus gates. If we needed an incident to bring home the fact that this borough's troubles are very much ours as well, it occurred just off cam- pus on Webster Avenue about 1:30 A.M., the morning of this past February 6th. According to the Bronx Fire Marshall's Office, it probably started with some kids the borough. lighting "about a gallon" of flammable To some extent, Fordham Road is still a liquid inside the small storefront of the PJ Hew South Bronx Program: rough dividing line between the stronger and Pest Control Service.

But without funding for a full-time director, said Seader, it was dormant for much of that time. Fordham Road's leading businessmen still see the Fordham Plaza office and retail com- plex as crucial to the revival, and perhaps now the survival, of the shopping strip. Last fall, the federal General Services Administra- tion announced it would rent office space in the complex which is slated for the vacant area directly south of the campus' Third Avenue gate. Several developers are interest- ed in building the project, according to the Office of Economic Development. But at present, there are no reports of a major commercial tenant interested in the site—the real key to the plaza's success. The whole plan was first conceived over a decade ago, when the Class of '79 was still in gram- mar school. Today, the only notable business establishment on the site is the old El Dorado bar. "I'm aware of the frustration that's rampant around here," said Seader.

See accompanying article for the University's response to area blight.

Despite Deputy Mayor Herman Badillo's now infamous remark that the University was once again looking to pack its books and head for the Tarrytown campus, Fordham has also announced steps to help the redevel- opment of the Bronx (see accompanying story). Along with the South Bronx planning for- ums and the possibility of starting further urban internships, the development of Ford- ham Plaza is a primary goal for President Finlay's new Assistant for Urban Affairs and South Bronx Redevelopment, Brian Byrne. But what more can Fordham University do to preserve the areas around its home cam- pus? Interestingly, both the University and the adjoining neighborhoods share one prob- lem, a shortage of housing. A number of administrators including^'&xeeutive Vice- President Paul Reiss, Dean of Students Jo- seph McGowan and Brian Byrne, the Presi- dent's Assistant, have toyed with the idea of Fordham's developing housing off campus. However, no matter where the adminis- trators look, according to McGowan, there are obstacles to what he called a "fantasy" of students and neighborhood people resid- ing in the same community. The area to the west of campus is declining too quickly, it seems, for the University to make housing plans there.

From The Ferry to The Student Dell••• It's Fordham. But Also New York by Jim Dwyer In these final moments, 1 realize what Fordham is, above all: a grandiose relic of ? •• neighborhood, of ethnicism, of stoops and women leaning on faded pillows and watch- ing the street from their windows. Though everyone in New York believes these signify the most authentic "Lifestyle" of all, a show of hands among the graduates (70 percent of Fordham College is from one of the five boroughs) would most likely reveal a taste for another, more comfortable, less sweaty lifestyle than the New York of our parents (85 percent of whom did not goto college). "Manhattan? I love it and hate it," says one senior who has lived all her life on 106th street on the west side of Manhattan. "It's brutal and exciting. But it's not where I want to grow old." This goes lor lordham, too. At Encaenia, tonight, 1 listened to four speakers, felt my throat lighten once or twice and longed for a cool breeze most of the time. The Lord of the Manor was edited by the Fordham College Dean's office, as though sanitizing a speech this near the end would make you love the place more or hate it less. Such a gesture is futile; it is Fordham's nature, with its homo- genii y of student backgrounds, its predict- ability leading to mediocrity that brings a re- pulsion of self. We do not want to be the same things over and over again. Bui here we are surrouinded by mirror images of our- selves, enough for every sort of ethnic- Catholic.

Here, for instance, 'everyone' knew that Kevin R., a student, nabbed asel of keys that opened a lot of doors on campus. When cold cuts and stock disappeared from the student- run deli, there was snickering all around. Then the same set of keys began to open dorm rooms, and stereos disappeared. Sever- al pairs of hands carried away the goods. Friends of the thieves were also friends of the, victims. Yel is was only by accident that the keys were recovered and the stealing halted, not because someone thought to expose them. Whai the hell. Just some of the guys. n>e\vheie, they're called "good ol' boys."

This is Fordham, but it's also New York, with concentrated buffoonery and grace. At 5 a.m. one Tuesday during a spring filled with academic brushfires, 1 went to see a friend who was writing a thesis on Christian ethics and wealth. Both of us had been stay- ing up nights and missing classes in streaks that lasted for days. He would sit in Alpha House, turning pages and rubbing his fore- head until it became powder. Then he would spread the powder across a page in memory of the Church fathers. His mentor was one of Fordham's great male thinkers.

Brown Bagging It Adeline Garner Shell & Kay Reynolds Toting Lunch Sovereign Books, $3.95, 138 pp. Once upon a time, taking your lunch to work was considered odd, corny, a little on the cheap side unless you were a forest ranger, an astronaut, or the manager of Automatique.

The rebels, or "lunch toters," have infiltrated everywhere: trucks, factories, parks, tunnels, elegant building plazas, sumptuous executive suites, "Millions have discovered that a meal from home is a meal to enjoy."

8. Keep the TV toned off (except perhaps for the news, an occasional documentary or an old movie) and try to wean yourself away from your pop-record stereo addiction. Just about all the time spent watching TV would be better spent reading TheNew York Times, writing letters or talking to your roommates. If you need music humming in the back- ground, tune in WNCN or WQXR and give yourself a gradual course in classical music- prepare yourself for another essential experi- ence: an evening at the Metropolitan Opera or the New York Philharmonic. 9. Read always. Keep a nonassigned book —almost any book—going all the time. For some faculty suggestions see The Fordham Personal Reading List or consult Ernest Hemingway's list of books every writer should have read in the collection of his jour- nalism, By-Line. 10. Win an award. The Fordham catalog lists over 54 prizes and scholarships—plaques, gold watches, medallions, books and cash for good grades, essays, creative writing and even "progress" and high ideals. And, frankly, sometimes the competition isn't too tough. So, when you take that history, polit- ical science or philosophy tutorial, ask the tu- tor to construct the course around writing that masterful 5,000-word essay that will earn you the Mooney, Frasca or Jouin- Mooney Prize. 11. Enjoy seeing your name in print while you are young and overcome now the fear of public reaction to what you write. Otherwise you may never write when you are older. When you do a term paper, pick a topic that will interest a wide audience and write it as an article with a particular publication in mind. Schroffi'g Theory pf IducqffoiT When you sell your First article, buy beers for your friends. 12. Get help. Somewhere along the line, you will think your life is falling apart. Some- one you love will fall seriously ill, die or leave you; your family will split up; you will lose a job or contest that will mean more to you than it should; your own health—physical or mental—will slip; or a friend will let you 15 Things To Do down.
