Jennings Makes His Move 'Morning News' shift. I flipped my Walkman to FUV, and, sure enough, Jennings was doing the news solo. When Ram reporter Matthew Browne attempted to enter the station, located on the third floor of Keating Hall, Assistant General Manager Buchter greeted him at the door with, , according to Browne, "an evil look and a loaded .357 magnum." After an appeal to Jennings made by Ram editors between two classical cuts which he was spinning at 3:13 p.m. Tuesday, the General Manager made a brief statement. "I'm in charge here," Jennings said. "I'm tired of these punks coming up here and playing rock and roll. I can do it all, now, with my friend and assistant Eric here to keep the brats away. WFUV will now be featuring the 'Ralph Jennings Show' between the hours of 6 a.m. and 12 midnight with the 'Butcher Block' to follow from 12 to 6. I'll handle all news and engineering duties." It was reported that Jennings threw the overnight disc jockey out of the studio, and locked the doors in order to gain control of the station. "It was about 4 a.m.," the DJ said, "and the little sucker picked me up and threw me out." Jennings, it was felt bv manv WFUV board members, had become increasingly irate at the media coverage he has received from The Ram, growling and putting it down," one board memoer said. "We were already upset at him, and I think that some of the things which appeared in the papers turned him completely against us." The takeover coincides with numerous reported incidents of students being hit with records flying out of the third floor windows of Keating. Apparently, Jennings has been picking several albums from the rock library at the station and has thrown them at passing students. "I was walking over to Faculty," Rich Skiera, CBA'89, said, "and I caught 'Led Zeppelin II' right on the forehead. A friend of mine got belted with 'Born to Run' and 1 heard a kid in the Ramskellar talking about getting nailed with 'Hot Rocks'." Jennings came to WFUV last year and infuriated many staff members by ending the traditional departmental elections, instead appointing department heads. More recently, statements such as "the FCC didn't give us a license to teach school with," among others, have further put students at odds with Jennings. The University and Jennings had been working on a plan which would possibly affiliate WFUV with National Public Radio, yet another controversy. Since the takeover began, however, University officials have chosen to refrain from by Lou Grant comment. "There isn't much to say," Dr. Joseph McGowan, vice-president for student affairs, said. "He took over the station, he took over the station, that's that." Dr. Ralph Jennings, general manager of radio station WFUV, has orchestrated a lockout Board members are meeting in order to examine the crisis, but they are pessimistic about and a subsequent takeover of the station, according to several WFUV department directors. attaining any workable solutions.

The University inserted a height require- ment in the Student Handbook, preventing famous sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer from returning to Fordham to give a lecture, according to Michael Sullivan, assistant dean of students for student activities. Sullivan said the Administration chose to establish a new regulation prohibiting speakers who are under five feet tall from expressing their views. He said the University wanted to invoke the recently inserted clause which allows Fordham to prohibit speakers who contradict the philosophy of the University, but members of the administration were afraid of the repercussions. "We didn't want to use the speakers clause because you know what happens when those peace freaks get riled, so we improvised," Sullivan said. "Of course, we aren't sure what implications this will have for future lecturers. My best sense tells me that there isn't anyone with anything important to say who isn't at least five feet tall. Is there?" The Ram exercised the right not to contact University President Joseph O'Hare, S.J., for comment because the editors felt his opinion was negligible.
