JUST WHAT IS AN INTERNSHIP??

Internships are faculty supervised placements that extend academic learning beyond the classroom. Students can work for the government, foundations, business, and health care services, while gaining enhanced academic or career- related experience. We have information available on internships in a wide variety of fields.

In the past, Lincoln Center CLC students have served as interns to such companies as: — WPIX Television — The New York State Assembly — WNBC Television — City of New York Parks and Recreation — MFY Legal Services — 9 to 5 Working Women — HWH Public Relations and Advertising — USA Network — Ads Talent Management — Sperry Corporation

AND MANY, MANY MORE...!!!

Stop by Room 319 to find out about the steps you need to take to get faculty approval and the types of internships available, as well as our many other services. We look forward to seeing you soonl

Life Up At The Hill By Ryan Carey

"Ah, the Bronx!" I remember saying this over and over to myself as I sat in bumper to bumper traffic on the Cross Bronx Expressway. I could sense how close I was to my final destination. I knew that once I saw the green, gothic Rose Hill campus, the 500 or so miles I had trekked from Ohio were worthwhile. I had finally, after a long three months of work and relaxation, returned. Rose Hill is something very special to me. In a way, I think it is for anyone who spends an extended period of time there. It gives so much to the whole person. All one's needs and interests can be fed there. I know that I have grown quite a bit since'coming to Fordham, and living on Rose Hill has only enhanced this growth. One thing I have noticed being a Rose Hill resident CLC student is that there is a gap between the two campuses, schools, and stu- dent bodies. Many people I meet here at Lincoln Center simply do not know what Rose Hill has to offer them as Fordham students. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to taste both pieces of Fordham. I feel, as I'm sure other Rose Hill CLC students do, that I am experiencing the best of both worlds.

When I look at Rose Hill, I see just what I envisioned college to be-a beautiful, cozy campus with a setting that allows one to grow in every way. Everything a person needs is up here. Enter- tainment, recreation, people, and serenity are all here for the taking. Tara Jean MacDonald, a junior Rose Hill CLC student summed up my feelings when she said, ".. .roommates, football games, parties, movies, fun - It's that extra bit more than just school that makes it all worthwhile." I agree. I have made some friends here which I will keep all my life. Having to accept certain responsibilities such as laundry and finances help one become more mature. Being able to relax in the local bars or at a party and forget the pressures of school, these are just a few of the ways that living at Rose Hill has helped make college more enjoyable. "

Now, you might be saying, "That's great, but what does it Have to do with me?" Well, I'll tell you. I think that every person should come up to Rose Hill at least once during his or her four years. Now you're asking, "Yeah, but what can I do?" Well, lots of things. For example, Rose Hill has movies shown two or three times a week, for free in Keating Hall. They have a wide selection from Woody Allen to Sylvester Stallone to Ingmar Bergman. If movies aren't your thing, how about exercise? Rose Hill's Lombardi Center is an ex- cellent place to get into shape. I like to do it on the B-ball courts, but you can choose from various options such as swimming, volleyball, nautilus, tennis, running, or aerobics. Now that you've got up a good sweat, why not relax? Come up to the Ramskellar and Pub. Sit back, eat and drink and catch the game on TV. Maybe, if you're lucky, The Other Place (TO. P.) may be having one of their concerts or mixers. They are advertised at CLC all the time, but I rarely saw any familiar faces at them.

I could go on and on raving about Rose Hill. Hey, I like it! I could go on telling you what you can do and how much fun you can have up here. I could lie and tell you that I don't mind taking the Ram Van, or I could predict how much beer I'll drink this semester. Frankly, I don't think you'd really care. What I do think, however, is that you should come up and experience "The other campus" for yourself. Hop on the Van and see a movie, take a swim, and meet some people who would otherwise go unknown. In closing, I want to say this. While trying to write this it started out as an essay on my life at Rose Hill. Then a friend said this to me, "People at Lincoln Center are so ready for life, so on the go. People at Rose Hill seem to put life on hold for a while." Then I realized I had to tell you what you were missing. There's nothing wrong with being ready for life after Fordham, but we all need to put life on hold if it only be for a weekend.

Life Down At The Empire By Dina Lewis

While gliding down the West Side Highway in a van borrowed from Uncle Bill, my thoughts and emotions began to run amuck. Glancing at my mother's increasingly melancholy profile, I grew uneasy wondering how the both of us two weaklings were going to transfer the pile of stuff that was blocking my rear-view vision, up 'to the eighth floor of the Hotel Empire. As I looked out the side window my mind proceeded to reminisce about all those "good ol' times" that inevitably seem to flood the mind as one prepares for a major change in environment. "Maybe commuting wasn't so bad after all." I amused myself with fond recollections of my late night escapades on the downtown ' streets of Ossining, New York. Drifting further away from Westchester and advancing into the Big Apple, in a state of pen- siveness, I started to pray for traffic. How many times did I explain to overly concerned relatives, close friends, and neighbors the subject of my present destination? It would be impossible to count the number of "oohs," and "aahs" and the "Arc you sure you know what you're doing" responses I received after revealing the mere location of the place where I would be residing during the upcoming school term. How many times did I recite the monologue explaining the story of Fbrdham University's other campus known-as the College at Lincoln Center located in Manhattan and not the Bronx. "Oh the Hotel Empire, what kind of place is it?" interrogated Aunt Janet. "Is it nice?" "It's not the Helmsley Palace, but it ain't a Roach Motel either," was my usual remark. Somehow this wasn't descriptive enough to satisfy the most scrupulous of relatives who would then question continuously without-pausing: "Did you see what happened to that young girl on the news last night? How far is the hotel from the school? Do you have a roommate? Do you have your own bathroom? How big is your room? What are the other students like? How will Pholo by Sergio Flore; you eat, etc...?" Unable to answer the most detailed line of inquiries since the Rehnquist examinations, I told them all to rest assured that Empire Hotel outside. I would be adequately sheltered and that my life (in retort to the most unrealistic hypothetical situations) would not fall prey to the temp- tations of fast talking strangers. It's been about three weeks since that monumental moving in day and all I can say is thank God for luggage carts! Transporting all my necessities upstairs became trouble free when my mother realized how a generous tip can suddenly inspire strong bell hops just waiting to assist two fragile females. Once settled in my room I immediately transfonned from a gloomy child cast from home into an eager young woman set free at last. So far life at the Empire has been quite pleasureable. After last year's dreadful commute of well over an hour, it's still hard to grasp my amazing accessibility to the campus. When the weather is unagreeable the Law School Annex provides a perfect sanctuary from even the most foul inclements one can encounter en route to school. Among the majority of my fellow residents', proximity ap- pears to be the most popular of the Empire's assets, and for those with views overlooking Lincoln Center it couldn't be better. Single rooms allow for privacy yet because of their relative closeness, and with 36 students living in die building it is hard to find anyone that is truly alone. Said best by sophomore Marni Johnson, "It is nice not having a roommate but still having a lot of students around." Of course that is not to say there is never a dull moment at the Hotel Empire. With the "City that Never Sleeps" right outside, a quick elevator ride can lead to an enjoyable evening of endless possibilities. . Columbus Avenue, Lincoln Center, and Times Square are all just seconds away. There are a few gripes here among students, one in particular being the closing of the CLC cafeteria on Sundays. The glamour of the Empire's locale is also accompanied by equally exclusive din- ing prices which makes eating out in the area's restaurants a splurge for penny pinching students. The word starving once coined with struggling actors is fast becoming associated with Fordham's Em- pire Squad on the Seventh Day. Aside from hideous carpeting, a few impolite staff members, and the early morning construction or- chestra it's a terrific place to stay. It has its faults but after speaking with Kris Wright, the enthusiastic unofficial R.A., one can very easily see how they can be overlooked. As for my aunts and uncles sitting at home in their suburban castles awaiting any form of unpleasant news or event where they 1 can be granted the satisfaction of exclaiming "I told you so," well, Phnm by Sergio Flurrz Phow by Sergio flore; they'll just have to be patient because I am happy, content and in Empire Hotel inside. one piece.

he year is 1975: The College at Lincoln Center enjoys the success from Tbeing the only institution of its kind to offer Excel, an adult-entry program. The year is 1977: CLC is still enjoying success. The year is 1986: Fordham University had better realize that immediate and separate action must be taken to alleviate CLCs consistent 10% attri- tion rate over the past nine-years. CLC, which catapulted to success in the 1970*s is now topsy-turvy and headed for a crash landing. The figures say it bluntly: enrollment is dropping. Last year, six traditionally-aged high school entry students left CLC be- tween fall *85 and Spring '86. Also last year, 120 non-traditionally-aged part- time students left. Nearly all of last year's enrollment loss can be attributed to adult/part-time students-the backbone of CLC The lines af registra- tion this year indicate that "the times they are a-changhV. The future is Graphic by Grrji Cenitffoli not assuring. Hopefully, nine years is enough to convince the administration that CLC is in a crisis situation-an identity crisis situation. The unique adult- program responsible for CLCs fame lost its uniqueness as other colleges throughout the city formed their own programs like Excel. To repair the holes in the adult student population, CLC needs an ag- gressive and self-sufficient recruitment campaign. Currently, CLC has no separate admissions director at CLC. The assistant admissions director works with the director at Rose Hill. Fordham must find out who might want to go to CLC and how to reach them. The unique aspects of CLC—its location, its diverse student body, its comparatively reasonable price and its own specialized programs—need to be emphasized without the "overwhelming image*5 of Rose Hill. The up- town administration must recognize CLCs need to advertise, otherwise those unique aspects will not attract prospective adult students from high school auditoriums. Moreover, the absence of dormitories downtown will not attract most traditionals. The University fails to recognize CLCs need for a dormitory—virtually a life-or-death matter for the college—while building several new ones on the Bronx campus.

Over the course of the play, her dream turns into an obsession, as she sees winning the pageant as her only hope to gain acceptance and respect from her peers. After years of being known as "Miss Hot Tamale." the town tramp, she aspires to change her image to that of a beauty queen, with hope that the residents of Brookhaven.

By Paul Brubaker Paul McCartney has finally ended his era of lethargic pop tunes and resurrected the musician that once dictated the styles of modern music. When approaching Press to Play, listeners must forget TUg ofWir, ignore Pipes of Peace, and even disregard Give My Regards to Broad Street, because this album brilliantly takes a tour of McCartney's musical development. This album's single, "Press," is typical of McCartney's recent works. However, this is only the beginning. "Angry,"' featuring legend Pete Townshend on guitar, is a regression back to McCartney's teenage idol Little Richard (He even screams!). "Footsteps" is an acoustic number with a mellow beat and somber chords reminiscent of the Beatles' classics, "For No One," and "And I Love Her." McCartney reminds us that he still has his "Wings" as he rocks out on "Move Over Busker." (McCartney has not jammed like this since Back to the Egg.) Just to prove he is an artist in touch with the times, McCartney laces "Talk More Talk" with rhythms WRITE a la David Byrne and lyrics which show a Peter Gabriel influence. Press to Play does everything but turn Paul McCartney back into a Beatle again, ARTS or else and it will be an album as classic as the Hurrell photograph on the cover.

The standout cut is a slow, bluesy tune called "Big Man On Mulberry Street." This track easily could have fit right in on any Joel album from the seventies, and that's about as big a compliment as you can pay a piece of music. If there's one sad thing about The Bridge, it's that in the middle of all this great stuff, they've gone and stuck in "Modern Woman." If it wasn't for that, this might be the album of the year.
