Will Fear Of Terrorism Keep Students Home? By Pfeggy Polk

With summer quickly approaching, many people are beginning to make plans for their vacations. But this year is not a typical one for travel or travel agencies. In previous summers the majority of travelers have ventured to European countries, but this summer it seems no one wants to take the chance. According to agents at Liber- ty Travel, reservations to Britain, France, Italy and Greece are down more than fifty pdrcent. Agents also said of those people cancelling their European vacations, half are going to the Caribbean instead. They also report heavy bookings in the U.S. and on cruise ships.

Sludents at CLC are not different. It seems that not many people want to take a chance on traveling overseas. Only about ten students have expressed interest in studying abroad this summer and seven for next fall, according to Dr. Louise Mirrer-Singer, co-ordinator of the Study Abroad program. Of the seven students who have offi- cially filed for the programjiext fall, according to Mirrer-Singer, two have expressed apprehension of traveling to Europe. "One girl was going to go to Italy next year and she would now like to go to Australia, because she was concerned about going to Italy." Another applicant has decided to go somewhere other than Europe, but her plans are not finalized, said Mirrer-Singer. "Those have been the only two who have voiced concern. We have several who are scheduled to go to England next year and they haven't come to see me as of yet."

Mary Ann Melley is the student who has changed her plans and is now going to Australia instead of Italy. Melley feels that there are enough other places students can go where they won't be affected mess bother me," said Romano. "Sure, I'm a little concerned run by Middle Eastern conflicts. "I think it is awful that students are I'm too excited to think about it.

But today, cancer is being beaten. Over the years, we've spent $500,000,000 in research. And we've made great strides against many forms of cancer.

With early detection and treatment, the survival rate for colon and rectal cancer can be as high as 75%. Hodgkin's disease, as high as 74%. Breast cancer, as high as 90%.

Today, one out of two people who get cancer gets well. Its a whole new ball game.

dormitory on the CLC campus may be coming further and further Atowards a reality than a concept on the drawing board. Fordham already has bonding for $30 million which will be used to construct.a 500-bed dormitory on the CLC campus and one at Rose Hill. It has taken a long time for the dormitory plans to proceed to fruition, but now that prospects for their realization have increased, it must be commended. LAND There must be no doubt as to the expediency of a dormitory, not just for CLC, but for the Law School and the graduate schools of business, SALE PROFIT education, and social service. It will increase the attractiveness of CLC, which, certainly in light of declining enrollment, is important. Hopefully,

the dormitory will be constructed as soon as possible. Gntphir B\ Bob Jtuio Bigger is not always better, but in terms of a dormitory, it is. Fordham would like to construct a 1000-bed dormitory which will require the sal" of a patch of land on the corner of Amsterdam Avenue and 61st Street. We clearly hope that the sale to the Carol Management Corp. will be ap- proved by the zoning district and that the University will put the revenue to optimum use by pumping it into the dormitory's construction. A big- ger dormitory would be to the benefit of the University and this will, hopefully, materialize. The students of CLC have heard that a dormitory was on the way for some time and the completion date has been consistently delayed. It is quite reasonable to assume that in the expensive, complex world of construc- tion, Fordham's administration would proceed cautiously, and with millions of dollars being involved, this caution would be even more justified. Now that it appears that a dormitory is finally so near to becoming a vital and vibrant component of the CLC community, though many of current CLC students will not be able to reap the benefits of the dorm, its procurement, despite delay, will serve as a major turning point in CLC's history. This we applaud warmly.

Laughing Their Way To The Top By Mary Kay Linge From Left To Right In 1984: Vicki Peterson, Debbie Suddenly, they all emit a piercing scream. The Bangles have been speaking for five minutes or so, Peterson, Susanna Hoffs and Michael Steele joking, giggling and interrupting each other as is their custom, but nothing so far has prepared us for this. "It's really number three? Is that true?" Susanna Hoffs squeals incredulously. Michael Steele (despite the name, this is an all- female band) answers sarcastically, "No, it's just an April-2nd-Fools" Day joke." Susanna still can't believe it. "Really? Honest to God?" Actually, it was true. "Manic Monday", the single from their second album Different Light and their first hit song, had reached the number-three spot on the charts. This was not something they had expected. "Prince was sure, but we weren't," says Michael. He wrote the song for the band after hearing their first album, All Over the Place.

The way the band members met is one of those stories that's almost too unbelievable. In 1980 vocalist Leyna Pagonis was out with a friend, when their car broke down in a Burger King parking lot. While using a phone to call for help, she was approached by bassist Sabrina Jennc. Sabrina asked Leyna if she was a musician and the two instantly hit it off. A year later Pantara was born. The band is rounded out by drummer Barbara Sehr and the last member to join, guitarist Gina Lugi^no. The present line-up has been around for three years. The band are all trained musicians.

By Ramon Garcia

Well, the Rangers did it. They got past the big, bad Flyers in five and ousted the Capitals in six. Thcv did it by playing like world-beaters. John Vanbicsbrouck was outstanding, once again. The dcfcnscmen were strong in their own end, as well as producing some offense. The forwards, not only produced some balanced scoring but also helped out in their own end. Everyone's thinking 1979 again. That being the last time the Rangers made it to the Stanley Cup finals, before losing at the hands of Montreal, four games to one. That playoffs hero was goaltender John David- son, whose heroics carried that Ranger team. If anyone knows that feeling, it's Vfanbiesbrouck. He's carried his team for most of the season and hasn't been any less important through the first two rounds of the current playoffs. The Rangers have their chance to avenge H9's loss when they meet [he Habs in the third round. Before moving on to other action, let me get to my playoff predictions. Hey, I'm hot. I've only picked one series wrong yet. Last ish, I said if the Rangers made it past the Flyers, they'd win the Cup. Well, Pm sticking to that and, as a result of that, I'm picking the Rangers, although the Habs' speed scares me. Is there any more ridiculous story in sports than The New York Rangers-Finally A Team the Toronto Maple Leafs' playoff success? They've had just as many wins in the last two playoff ronds, us they did in a full quarter of the regular season. The Maple Leafs will turn back into pumpkins and finally lose a playoff round. I also said the Flames would give the Oilers their biggest challenge yet and they have been, taking the series to the seventh game. The Oilers are still the most talented team in the league but it wouldn't surprise me if the Flames were to unseat the reign- ing Stanley Cup champs. You can expect Pierre Larouche back in a Ranger uniform next season. Larouche's contract is too heavy to interest any other team and, more importantly, I'm sure Ted Sator wants him back. All Sator ever wanted of Larouche was for him to fit into the team's system. He has, and he's still scoring, and nobody likes to leave a Stanley Cup

ALL OVER THE PLACE: Ted Sator has taken a lot of heat this season. His team's playing Toronto Make-Believes? unbelievably well when it counts. Give the man his due. .

NICKNAMES: Jan Villemuire and Davidson as evidence. He also Beers, Cavellini and Bourgeois have been three of ple love saying that Nick Fotiu is on Calgary's first Erixon and Peter Sundstrom-"The Ovaltene remarked that Ron Scott would never make it with the Blues' best players. Just as important, if not line, with Mullen and Otto. All they forget to tell Brothers" -You can have them hot or cold. Larry the Rangers... not enough letters in his last name. more so, is the simple fact that both teams are win- you is that when the game's on the line, as was the "Doctor" Melnyk-From The Odd Couple, Mio and Weeks were proof enough for me.

Good, I'm glad somebody else does... Remember when the Mets first got George Foster and he promised to knock some planes out of the sky? Uh-huh... I'm terrified of what Don Baylor is going to do to the Yankees when they go into Fenway... In three years, the Rangers' Big Three of Bobby Witt, Jose Guzman, and Edwin Correa will be as good as anybody's. .. Has anybody noticed how much better the Mets look than any other team in the division?.. . By the way, the A's look that good in the A.L. West. Just wait until the bats come around. .
