Many of the speakers at the meeting emphasized the educational value of student activities. Moore, in explaining the purpose of the meeting said that much of the education at Fordham takes place outside of the classroom. "Ambience and co-curricular activities should support what goes on in the classroom," he said. Mike Shaloub of the Boarder Council pointed out that the Cultural Affairs Committee had tickets for Annie, but because they failed to advertise no one went and there were whole rows empty in the theater. "Only Fordham could do that," he said. Elaine Ryan said, "Part of the difficulty is that every single event they charge 50 cents or $1.50. They say Lombardi Center is built for us.

March 2, 1978 Performance is Blessed and Damned New Computer Spindles and Mutilates

by Dan Hayes Concealed in the basement of Dealy Hall, the electronic heart of Fordham beats—falteringly. This heart is the Univer- sity's new computer, a Digital Equipment Corporation model 20 (DEC-20). whose purchase has been a mixed blessing for For- dham students, faculty, and administrators. Dr. Donald Clarke, of the Chemistry Department, thinks the new system is great "It works beautifully." "It hasn't worked," said Registrar John Clohessy. "The machine is not adequate for our use. And Executive Vice President Paul Reiss, who heiped choose the machine, said.

A second place finish in the Metropolitan Championships, last week highlighted an up and down season for the Fordham Squash team. Four Fordham men were defeated by Stonybrook players in the Met quarterfinals. Stoneybrook, the eventual Met champions, gave the Rams trouble all year long, beating them twice in regular season matches, in ad- dition to the Mets. The Rams finished the season with a misleading 8-10 record, as they played a schedule that featured many national powers. Despite having lost four of their top nine players from last year's squad to graduation, they still managed to improve their record. Last year's team was ranked 17th in the nation, and the Rams are confident that they will better that mark in the National Cham- pionships.
