Several months ago, this newspaper printed an article entitled "A Closer Look" (October 7, 1971) which jokingly referred to York College as Ding Dong School. If we had known that our sarcasm would be taken literally, the words would have been deleted. While it may seem a small point to some, the use of "passing bells" or "period bells" as we referred to them in high school, is de- grading. Our learning periods do not begin exactly on the hour nor do they ne- cessarily end at ten minutes to. These signals are an embarrassment to the students and faculty of York Col- lege.

"Crossfire at the Corner of Thirty-First Street and Broadway' By John Walter I keep wanting to go back down Broadway to Twenty-First Street and see all the sights over again with the vision I've acquired along the way. But Broadway's a one way thorofare all the way to the City-line and the press of traffic never eases for a moment. Well, there's Gimbel's and Macy's at Thirty-Fourth Street and all the affluent materialism of Herald Square. And even though it's only three blocks north, the extra few steps don't really seem important measured against eternity. There are X rated movies at Forty-Second Street and films that make the X's look like the fairy tales I first heard around Twelfth Street, But there's no consolation since every crosstown street has its share of personal pornography blended with a dash of tragedy. If it wasn't Broadway where I've been thrust to take my little stroll, I'd have the promise of Central Park in the Sixties. But Broadway skirts the Park and slums of desperation offer them- selves instead of the beauty of the Sheep Meadow and : Mall. What, then, is the reasoning if you ca n only stand long enough for a quick snack and a coke at the corner of Thirty-First and Broadway? Well, you'll never find out by standing still: the answer's up ahead somewhere and I'll walk the whole route until reach my own City-line.
