"There was a crowd of faculty and charges $45 for the course. Students will learn students standing around who were just helpless. Nobody did anything," Assistant Dean for Student Affairs Normand Parenteau said. In the hope of preventing such an occurrence, two Fordham students, junior Oleh Slupchynski and senior Mark McDonnell, and Parenteau have initiated a cardiopulmonary resuscitation course at CLC. The course is one of a series of lifetime course programs coordinated by Student Activities. "In New York, response time for emergencies is very quick. It's usually about ten minutes," Slup- chynski said. "But primary care is important because brain damage will occur within four to six minutes if a person isn't being oxygenated. After six minutes the person is a vegetable," she added.

No doubt the care at the hospital is quite good, but the deception lies in the quick medical attention. Between the time of an accident, the phoning of 911, and the response of a medical unit to the scene, a person could die, as did a professor at neighboring John Jay College recently. Since the University is not required by law to have a medical unit or even a nurse on the premises, they don't. But since accidents among the few thousand here do occur, we must commend Assistant Dean for Student Affairs Normand Parenteau and two upperclassmen for moving in the direction of starting a medical unit here. An early stage of such a plan is already taking place in the CPR course being offered.

What we are surprised to hear however, is that Fr. Doyle intimated that the committee will be hard press- ed to find Dean Shea's replacement before his resignation takes effect July 1.

By Pamela Spaulding

There is probably no director in the history of cinema who has devoted his talent to keeping the audience on the edge of their seats as much as Alfred Hitchcock. His films continue to garner crticial and popular interest with the re-release last year of five films from the late director's private collection. These films. Rear Window (1954), Rope (1948), The Trouble with Harry (1956), The Man Wlw Knew Too Much (1956), and Vertigo (1958), along with thirty-six of his other films are being shown in a series at the Regency-Theatre (Broadway at 67th Street) from February 3 through April 6. The body of work spans fifty-one years of Hitchcock's career, en- compassing some of his early British films and all of his Hollywood productions. Seventeen of the films are playing for the first time in a Regency series. "We had secured at a great cost some of his early films," says Frank Rowley, manager of the Regency, "and they are doing quite well." Three 6Y the films are The Pleasure Garden (1922), Hitchcock's first feature, and the recently-played Blackmail (1929) and Number Seventeen (1932). Of particular interest is Blackmail, his first sound film, where he utilized a crude sound recording system with interesting and ground-breaking results. There were problems created because of the inability to post-dub sound at one time. Hitchcock was forced to reshoot the film (two prints exist, one silent until the final reel and the now-famous sound one) and have an actress record off screen synchronously the lines of on-screen actress Anny Ondra, whose heavy accent was not suitable for recording. He did, however, create an interesting se- quence where a character repeats the word knife, accentuating it to show the protagonist's subjective feelings and senses about a murder that she has committed. "I would like to have gotten The Lodger? says Rowley, referring to the 1926 British film that was Hitchcock's first "innocent-man-on-the-run" film. In addition to the early work, Rowley has obtained new prints of old favorites such as Mr. and Mrs. Smith (1941), Hitchcock's on- ly attempt at a comedy, starring Robert Montgomery and Carole. Lobard, and 1955's To Catch a Thief. The popular Cary Grant-Grace Kell' film earned an Oscar for Robert Barks' glorious Technicolor- Vis' .vision cinematography of the French Riviera. The beauty of the .lew prints shown in a theatre have been drawing new Hitchcock fans to the theatres, since television either shows poor-quality prints or cuts sequences out for time considerations. "There's a depth of atmosphere that you don't get on a television screen," says a ticket buyer, "on TV, the colors are all washed out".

If these reasons do not appear in his mind, he won't ap- pear at the forum. I have already explored the motivation of USG members. We know their TAKE CORPORATE reasons for attending. What about our reasons? I mean: maybe no one had any suggestions, complaints, or praise, as the advertisement in the Observer asked us to bring. "Suggestions, RETAIL, FIRST CLASS complaints, or praise? Thank you for asking, but no, not this time. I do care about the school, but, personally, I have no reason for at- \ tending." Then, we forgot all about it. Why was this the almost universal response to the recent USG forum? To answer this ques- tion, which put another way is: Why wasn't it in anyone's enlightened self-interest to attend that forum? I could have polled people who did not go to it. But doing that presumes a group of students distinct from myself that did not at- tend the forum. No such distinct group exists. Instead, .1 turned to myself, said: Tom, you did not go, either.
