His absence will be like a huge pothole in the recently paved road of Lincoln Center activities—a road prone to damage and slow to be repaired. It was only seven months ago that former Asso- ciate Dean of Students for Lincoln Center Roslyn Hartmann resigned. Although we now have a capable and qualified man in that position, the Rev. Denis Moran, it took the University over six months to find him. We hope that Goode's replacement will arrive quickly, and that the University will examine why CLC's student affairs administrators have had such short stays. As for Goode, he has been a valuable asset to the student activities program at Lincoln Center. While often being criticized from every angle (even in print) he continued to strive for better programming for the CLC students. It's All Yours The Observer is a student publication and as such neither faculty members nor the University Administration has responsibility for the editorial decision-making processes. The Observer has received much support and advice from faculty members for which it has been very grateful. There has also been disagreement and criticism, for which it is also grateful, but it is not constructive for it to be passed through intermediaries who are only consults or advisers. Any criticism, complaints or compliments should be communcicated directly to the student editorial board. The Observer is not above, but rather welcomes dialogue. Direct dialogue is always necessary; and encouraged to strengthen the newspaper. The best and most direct way to 'air individual posi- 4ions, both student and, faculty, is through letters to the editor, a much underutilized outlet. Commentaries are also useful and are welcome from students and faculty. The opportunities should be seized.

If you have, you are missing out on at- tractions that contribute largely to the aura of the city Fiaces such as The Bronx Zoo (the nation's largest urban zoo). The New York Botanical Gardens, and of course, Fordham's own Rose Hill campus, grace the Bronx with a large varie- ty of amusements.

The Fordham Rams won their first football game this season, snapping a five-game losing streak, on Sept. 17 when they defeated the Catholic University Cardinals 10-7 at Fordham's Jack Coffey Field. The Cardinals' records dropped to 0-2, while the Rams upped theirs to 1-1. The game itself was sloppy and not very entertaining for the fans, but the point is Fordham won, and that is all that matters. The turning point in the game was when a swarm of Rams losing by the score of 7-3 at the time, blocked a punt in the fourth quarter which set up the game-winning touchdown. Catholic had unsuccessfully converted on their three plays from scrimmage and they were faced with a fourth down and six- teen to go from their own 16 yard line. Then a host of Rams (namely Bill Penders, Sean Carlesimo, Colin Whyte and Tim Corcoran) blocked T.J. Murray's punt, which was recovered by Joe Gentile on the five yard line. ' Fordham took over on first down but were set back one yard for a loss. On second down, though, junior quarterback Ermano Costabile, • who replaced sophomore starter Robert Brisolari, fired a seven yard pass to halfback Larry Johnson in the left cor- ner of the endzone for the touchdown. Then John Kennedy was successful on his point after attempting to give Fordham a 10-7 lead, which they never relinquished. The games"s first scoring opportunity went to Fordham, after a penalty-filled first quarter had just come to an end. Cardinal freshman Walt Kalinowski fumbled Peter Clarke's punt, giving the Rams a first down on"Catholic's 14 yard line. This was short- lived though, when a Brisolari pass was intercepted by Cardinal defensive back Christ McMahon on the next play. Fordham's next scoring opportunity, due to another Catholic foul up, came with 7:42 left in the second quarter when punter Photo By Caryn L. Row T.J.
