However, this attitude can not be laid to rest as the sole responsibility of Fordham. It has been a reciprocal barrier fostered in the Italian section, the black and Hispanic section, and the Fordham section, as well as toward one another. "They are real scared of us," concludes Humphrey Ozzie, a student at Theodore Roosevelt High School. This may be true, says McKenna, but "They are probably as afraid of Fordham as Fordham is afraid of them." The woman and child you rushed by on the street or the elderly man you pushed aside to dear a hurried path are as easily unnerved by your presence as you are by theirs.

Now, I am not writing this letter to berate To The Editor: entirely the University's reforms of the UJC.

Specifically, how much power freshman parents. But Father O'Hare is right too- will the Dean of Students have in regard to the issue is not one of censorship. Alas, it's far deciding which appeals will get through the UJC? worse.

Given indignant outrage on the part of these same people the judicial process of the case of the Fordham Nine should a major corporation seek to conceal unsavory last year, I find little empirical evidence on which to product information from consumers.

However, although I have more than some An Irate Customer problems with the present judiciary reform, I have (A.K.A. "A Parent") tremendous difficulties with the United Student Government's involvement in this matter. The USG is supposed to be "first and foremost... an advocacy group." (Student Handbook 1986-87, pg. 26). First of all, no group can act as an advocate without some knowledge of the needs and desires of Speak Up its constituency. Given the above, since the reforms To The Editor: occurred during the summer, how did the USG Last Thursday, while getting my I.D. validated advocate the wishes of the student body in its at the tables in front of the McGinley Ballroom, I consultative role to the administration? Specifically, noticed an addendum concerning the adjudication how did the USG monitor student opinion process had been included with the Student considering that, to a large extent, the student body Handbook". With great interest, I read the contents was not physically on campus? It strikes me as rather of the leaflet. Apparently, in an effort to expedite incredible that the USG would agree to consult with justice, the administration had done away with one the administration on issues as essential as judicial of the deliberate options in lower tier adjudication reform without significant input by the entire student cases. Correctly, if a student is charged with breaking body.

Consequently, it behooves Mr. recourse to have his or her case heard by a jury of O'Rourke and his colleagues to consult, in a very peers.

Secondly, I would like to know whether or not After reflecting on this new facet of the the USG ever represented to the administration, in its Fordham judicial system, I still had a few consultations over judicial reform, the philosophical questions on my mind. So, I availed myself of the problem I presented before in this letter. That is, did opportunity to see the Dean of Students, Fr.

The system had become somewhat inefficient in that USG needs to respond to these questions if students mon deliberative bodies could be convoked for rather are to continue to assume, in good faith, that the role alone is very depressing, and I know that trying to meet trivial cases. Also, in the case of more serious of the USG is primarily that of the advocate. femed to be somebody at the bars when you can't even hear them matters, too much time was being consumed in the Personally, 1 think a response to these issues in over the jukebox is frustrating, and that meeting people preparation of defenses and the convocation of the writing from the USG, possibly from Peter P time than I is incredibly difficult sometimes, but being a freshman is deliberative bodies.

While some look forward to viewing new episodes of their favorite sit-eoms like The Cosby Show and Family Tics, others eagerly await answers to burning summertime ques- tions like "Will Blake choke Alexis?", "Who did Sam propose marriage to?," and this year's biggie: "How will Dallas bring back Bobby?"
