THE RAM/THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1983/7 Fordham Focus An Appalachian Summer with Elizabeth Langella For two Fordham College students, this past summer meant giving up time and money for other people. John Montopoli, a sophomore from New Haven, Connecticut, and Tom Kearns, a junior from Merrick, Long Island, traveled west to Kentucky to spend a week working with the Glenmary Missionaries and the people of Louis County. The Glenmary Home Missionaries established the May through August volunteer program 11 years ago. Guided by the Glenmary priests and brothers, who work throughout ihc year, volunteers help the poverty-stricken persons of the small county in the foothills of the Appalachian Moun- tains. Each year Glenmary receives over 1000 applicants and on the basis of an application and autobiography selects TOM KEARNS (right) saw Glenmary as a nearly 300 college-age men to take part in the week experien- test of whether he would like missionary ce. work. Kearns want to Join the Jesuit Volunteers must pay for their own transportation to Volunteer Corps after graduation. Glcnmary's Cincinnati, Ohio headquarters. From Ohio the volunteers travel by van for three hours to the sight in Ken- tucky. The volunteers are sent in groups of 40 for one week. During that time they must live in a farmhouse or barn, use out-house facilities and bath in a nearby creek. Volunteers donate $25 to cover the cost of food, some of which is JOHN MONTOPOLI (below) would go back raised on the farm.' v During the week, the Glenmary volunteers can be sent to Appalachia "in a minute." He would like to one of four places; a health center, two construction to join Volunteers in Service to America sites, or a farm. If they slay at the farm, they grow small when he graduates. crops. The health center houses both young and old, and volunteers go to socialize with and help feed the elderly. At the construction sites, volunteers habitate houses, rebuilding walls, or adding a room. Most of the homes had outhouses and wells instead of indoor plumbing. The major project that Glenmary does every year is to construct a house that will be donated to a needy family. The house they build, along with the houses repaired, were paid for by loans and grants from the Federal Housing Administration. "They don't get nearly as much money as they need," said Kearns. Montopoli's Experience i Montopoli went to Glenmary in mid-August which \ was the last week of the program. "At first 1 was hesitant S but those things usually work out the best," says fvlon- ; topoli. "Just seeing the whole situation made me want to i know more about it. I want to be a social director, and I felt this would be a good way to find out what it was like." In addition to living in the farmhouse, Montopoli also stayed in the home of the Toller family. The Toller's are the recipients of the first home that Glenmary volunteers con- structed. The Tollers have five children and the father is dying of cancer. Montopoli helped the children with chores and along with other Glenmary volunteers fixed the supports of a barn that had been falling down. "They were almost exactly like the Beverly Hillbillys. They seemed to be very much in touch with what's going on outside, but it doesn't effect them," says Montopoli. He added that they farm a lot, drink a lot, and are not con- cerned with education. Montopoli believes the reason the poverty level is so bad is "a lack of motivation because of the environment they live in. There is a lot of injustice around them, and sociology minor. When he graduates, Montopoli would like mansion with three cars and an in-ground swimming pool. they feel they can't get out.

The letter is not an accurate account of what has happened on this campus over the revealed by the forceful and uncompromising And yet the same is oil past years. More likely, Ihe complacency of administrators, including Finlay, caused them to put security low on their list of important responsibilities. Fordham cannot rely on "the unusually secure character of its immediate neighborhood of Belmont," despite Behnonl's safety record. Finlay says, however, Fordliam has "realistically" attempted to improve security and cites a 1981 University-initiated security audit as an example of (he University's work toward this end. According to the letter, the firm conducting the audit gave positive grades to Fordham's security. From 1981 until very recently, the University has sat proudly on that report while ignoring repeated signs that Fordham's security simply is not as good as it could be. Finlay laments the sensationalism and inaccurate coverage of the event by New York news Letters to the Editoi media. However, to chastise the media and then attempt to gloss over the seriousness of the crime goes too far in trying to downplay the incident.

This 25-year-old Portugese-born actor is no stranger to revolutionary activities since he was part of an anti-Salazar movement. Although he began acting when he was about 16, his first serious attempt at a career started at the Conservatory School of Theater in approximately 1975. Soon after he began to travel all over Europe playing with street and experimental theater groups. In 1976 he came to New York and joined the Strasberg Theater Institute. Finally, in 1981 he appeared in his first international film, The Soldier. His other acting credits include: the daytime drama The Edge of Night and such stage productions as What Would Jeannie Moreau Do? and Savages, which was written by Christopher Hampton who adapted Beyond the Limit for the screen. The Ram: Being somewhat of a revolutionary yourself, did you find your role easy to portray? J. De A. : Not at all. The character in the film, Leon, had a dif- ferent type of conflict than 1 did. He is a man in pain because he A HEATED ARGUMENT in the picture Beyond the Limit.

PRESENTS When you speak six languages, it helps a lot. The Ram: Tell me about your decision on an acting career. Was it a spur of the moment thought? J. De A.: Not really. When I was 16 years old, 1 traveled to Europe where I met a French actress. 1 watched her at rehearsals, and one day the lead actor wasn't there, so they asked me to read his lines. I picked it up really fast, so they told me to come back the next day. When 1 went back to Portugal, I decided to join a theater school.

"An actor is never satisfied with his performance, he can always do better. I think I did a fine job for a first time, but I have the potential to do better."

As a kid I never was set on any idea of what to do. My ideas were always changing. I can remember when I was three, I thought 1 was an airplane. I used to jump onto my bed off a dresser. One time I hit it so hard the bed mattress fell through, and I work up eight days later in the hospital. The Ram: How do you feel about the way the film is being advertised?

De A.: You see you made mistakes when the film is shown to you, but it's just a learning experience. An actor is never satisfied with his performance, he always can do better. 1 thought that 1 could have done it better, but you can't go back. 1 think 1 did a fine job for a first time, but I have the potential to do A unique and powerful motion picture experience. better.

by Camille Perretli He's done it again! Billy Joel has shown the world that he is not just another male vocalist. He has written 10 brand new songs for his new album, An Innocent Man, with a 50's sound. Many of you might be saying, "So what?" The point is that Billy Joel can take any (ype of music, write a song and make it sound good. His first three albums, Piano Man, Streetlife Serenade, and Turnstiles gave him a name as a Danaa singer. His next album, The Stranger, contains many great ballads, but also leans towards rock V roll. 52nd Street is a little jazz, while you can call Glass I QuePasa, Houses and The Nylon Curtain new wave. Now An Innocent Man pulls together what he said on a previous album, "It's still rock 'n' roll to me." If you like the Frankie Valli sound, New York? you'll love Uptown Girl, Joel does a perfect impression beginning with drums and background vocals. If you haven't heard the song yet, just turn on the radio. It is currently on the charts. It soon will catch up with Billboard's number one song for the week of Sept. 26, "Tell Her About It."

Continued from page 19 loss of Walker to the pros, they actively pursued coaches such as Fairbanks, Perkins and Brown, all of whom were under contract to professional teams at the time. Fairbanks, it may be recalled, tried to leave the New England Patriots before the playoffs in 1978 for bigger bucks at the University of Colorado. Many felt Fairbanks' 1978 team had the talent to win the Super Bowl but lost their motivation when their head coach defected. Needless to say, Fairbanks' name is not too popular today in New England. ^ . ' Perkins, who after leading the Giants to their first playoff appearance in 18 years was given a four-year con- tract extension by management, announced he was bolting the team midway through the season last December for the University of Alabama. The university had contacted him without the consent of the Giants following the decision of Bear Bryant to step down as head coach. The Perkins announcement came on the heels of the Giants' best play in 1982. They had rebounded to win three consecutive games to even their record. Needing only two victories in their final three games to qualify for the Super Bowl tournament, the Giants suffered two last-second losses to Washington and St. Louis and barely hung on to defeat Philadelphia in the season's finale. It's no wonder the Giants folded. Their season ended when their coach, like Fairbanks with the Patriots, deserted them. Perkins of- ten spoke of pride, dedication and loyalty. No doubt he did so with one eye towards Tuscaloosa. The Perkins incident highlights the basic economic motivation in sports. While it may be unfair to criticize a man for following his life's dream, one must look askance at (he way the situation was handled by both Perkins and Dr. Joeb Thomas, president of the University. Perkins was the most successful coach the Giants have had since Allie Sherman in the early 1960s and with him at the helm, Giants fans were actually thinking Super Bowl for the first time in the team's history. If Perkins was Mr. Thomas' "man all along," then surely Thomas could have- waited until the Giants' season had ended before contacting him. But then again, how could he? His university stood to lose hundreds of thousands in recruiting dollars if they didn't name a head coach immediately. The University of Kansas represented Brown's fourth "special situation" in the last five years. The coach quit the Denver Nuggets in 1978, the U.C.L.A. Bruins in 1980, and - the New Jersey Nets five games before the playoffs last season. One thought on his situation at Kansas.
