IN MEMO RIAM .November,23,. 1988 - CLC Obtfei*v6f - Rage 41 OBSERVATIONS No Teachers— No School As we all prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving and the upcoming holiday season, The Observer would like to take a few minutes to recognize our distinguished faculty. Where would our school be without the large number of outstanding faculty and Division Chairper- sons that help guide and educate CLC's students? At this year's Convocation, the University recognized six CLC professors each for their 20 years of dedication to their craft and to their students. These professors and their peers make CLC a vital institution of higher education. Dr. Ully Hirsch was a fine example of a dedicated faculty member; her many years of loyal service to this school will not soon be forgotten. It is through the work of people like Dr. Hirsch that molded and guided Fordham into what it is today; a place to ac- tively participate in expansion of one's knowledge and wisdom, to encounter new concepts, and to discover new perspectives. Ully's presence will be sorely missed, especially by the non-traditional students with whom she worked so hard. Although we deeply mourn her loss, we can also reflect and be grateful, thankful, for all that she has done here at CLC, and for her peers who will continue the tradition of professorial excellence at CLC. The Editorial Board of The Observer respectfully dedicates this issue to the memory of Dr. Ully Hirsch.

UNMASKED Photography and drama are related in many ways in my mind. Photographs, which took real, ofteh illustrate something completely different from what actually happened when the camera shutter was pushed. Photographs are fictional. They tell a story, a story the photographer wants to relate. They are far from objective. A dramatic play looks real, living actors and actress, conflicts and tensions of life, beauty, love, and anger; we watch and believe what is happening, quite happy to suspend reality. These photographs are portriats of actors.
