Rumor has it that five Rose Hill buildings contain entities of the "former-human" persua- sion: the Administration Building, Dealy Hall, Hughes Hall, Duane Library, and St. John's Hall. "There have been a couple of case of old Jesuits floating around here," says Reverend Norris Clarke, S.J. "The old Jesuit walking on the second floor of the Administration Building has been seen by a number of people,'' he added. One of the two buildings on campus to predate the arrival of the Jesuits (the other is the University Church), the Administration Building has served as everything from a student residence hall to a library since its construction in 1838. According to Clarke, a few elderly priests lived there when the second floor served as an infir- mary serveral years ago. In the recent past a stu- dent worker was upstairs after hours when he saw an elderly Jesuit walking around aimlessly. He made an attempt at conversation but got no response. Later, according to Clarke, the student

By RALPH MONACO After coming off a 3-0 defeat against Stony Brook, the Fordham Rams edged Iona last Fri- day night by a 31-29 margin. The victory at Mt. Vernon's Memorial Stadium secured the Rams a fifth place ranking in the NCAA East Regional and boosted their record to 7-1 for the season. According to head coach Larry Glueck, ' 'Iona was a great victory for us. We won because of special teams...and in close games like this, special teams can make the difference." Coach Glueck was obviously referring to Steve Sharpe's 82 yard kick off return in the first quarter and Kevin McLaughlin's blocked punt which turned into a safety in the fourth quarter. Fordham jumped out to an early lead. Subse- quent to linebacker Joe Bryan's interception, Steve Troutman booted a 30 yard field goal to put the Rams ahead 3-0. The Gaels, however, came right back. After marching into Fordham territory, quarterback Pete Jensen hit Jamil Shah for a 24 yard touchdown reception. The extra point made it 7-3 Iona. Next, it was Fordham's turn. Sophomore Frank O'Donnell gave the Rams good field posi- tion with a 21 yard punt return. Following several pass completions to Marc Meighan, Eddie Pear- son, and O'Donnell, fullback Rodney Knight scored a touchdown off of a pitch from quarter- back Dave Olsakowski. Troutman's field goal gave Fordham a 10-7 lead at 4:47 of the first quarter. Both teams benefitted from scores in the next 85 seconds of the game. First, Iona's Pete Jensen passed to Rob Dilullio for a 69 yard touchdown. The extra point put the Gaels on top 14-10. On the ensuing kickoff, senior Steve Sharpe ran 82 Steve Sharpe (left) returned a kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown and (right) intercepted a Pete Jensen pass to end the game. yards to propel Fordham back into the lead 17-14.
