Father Ritter also asserts that the main obstacle that Covenant House has to overcome, besides financial worries, is public apathy and public unconcern. "The problem is that we don't wanl to accept any responsibility for what is going on. We close our eyes to the fact that the mer- chandise that is being bought and sold is young people." Every time a person purchases a por- nographic magazine, or rents a pornographic film, cites, Father Ritter, they are supporting an ugly institution that destroys thousands ol kids each year. Unfortunately, the statistics speak for themselves. Out of the over 20,000 kids that will come to Covenant House this year, only about one-third of them will be successfully helped. . Not all of the stories have a bad ending, however. Recently, a 14 year-old girl who had been working double shifts at a local 24-hour prostitution hotel came to Covenant House, and is now back home. After being tortured and beaten by her pimps, she somehow managed to escape and is now safe. Sometimes, Covenant House acts as a prevention center as well as a crisis center. Covenant House recently sent a boy back to Kansas who had run away from home and gotten into trouble in the Times Square area, and went to Covenant House before anything serious happened. The people who work at Covenant House always seem to be in surprisingly high spirits. Both Father Kevin and Father Bruce attribute this to the fact that these people know that they are doing good work. Dan Nolan, presently a sophomore at Fordham's College at Lincoln Center spent 18 months at Covenant House Community helping the kids. Nolan joined Covenant House after hearing Father Bruce speak at a convention. He saw it as a personal challenge, and was profoundly influenced by the significance of the job, knowing that his work was having a direct influence on the im- provement of a person's life. "It was the biggest challenge—the com- mittment of the job and to the kids...it helped me find a direction for myself," Nolan said. Nolan says that working at Covenant House was what made him decide to go back to school. After having been in the Navy for four years as well as doing other work, Nolan found that "Nothing i&as draining as working with the kids for eight hotrjs." •';. "The damage that 'occurs, occurs very quickly," Ritter said, "You can't live on the streets for a long time and make it back. Three months is a long time; six months is forever. After a year, forget about it. The distortion ol the personality is massive. For all practical purposes, these kids will not make it back; they're finished," said Ritter; this is precisely STARTS FRIDAY NOVEMBER 8th AT A THEATRE NEAR YOU what Covenant House is trying to prevent.

Rape is a terrible fact of life. This fact is not news. What is news is that men and women on Fordham's campus need to be educated about the myths and realities surrounding rape.

Violence surrounds us, Intimacy: A1 and yet many of us choose to close our eyes and say, "That can't happen to me or anyone I care about." The area surrounding Fordham is a dangerous one.

That continued from page 20 Brown dominated matters at fifth singles, including a brilliant whitewashing of an opponent from La Salle. That match took less than 30 minutes including warm-up. "I didn't really have any good oppo- nents. (Also), 1 was serving much better than I had served all year long. I played well," said Brown on her MAAC success. In the finals Brown waltzed over Fair- field's Maura O'Callahan by a 6-4, 6-0 score. Also playing some excellent tennis was Mimi McLaughlin, who captured the cham- pionship at sixth singles. In the finals the Fordham sophomore topped Nancy Lynch in three sets, 2-6, 7-6, 6-2. As Sonner and Fallon before her, McLaughlin had to make a comeback from a first set loss. "I knew I could beat her, but I was in a rut," said McLaughlin. "1 started coming to the net and got my confidence back." With this boost of confidence, McLaughlin was able to take the second and third sets, capping a fine season which has seen the New Jersey native emerge as one of the team's starters. Fordham dominance was even more evident in doubles play. At first doubles the combination of Tully and Sonner had very little difficulty in beating their opponents, which prompted Tully to exclaim: "I was surprised, I thought that it would be tougher than that." Things were a bit tougher for the team of deCarvalho and fellow senior Moira Clan- cy. In the finals at second doubles the two- r >me was taken to three sets by a tough Holy Cross tandem. "They knew how to play doubles," said deCarvalho of their opponents. "We could not give them any edge." Their 6-1, 2-6, 6-2 victory was also notable for the fact that it was Clancy's last as a Lady Ram. The fine play of Clancy, who will graduate in January, will be missed. At third doubles the team of Brown ami Fallon did not drop a set in winning their crown. The MAAC Championship sums up what has become another successful season for the Lady Rams and Coach Rooney. "We're all glad it worked out this way for Coach Rooney. He worked so hard all year, it is good to end this season in this way for him," said deCarvalho. _Lt's not too long until you'll be walking up to get this is the best way we know to prove it.

This space contributed as a public service Continued from page 12 to World War II in Europe. These photo- graphs reveal the feelings and thoughts of the photographer during each of these war eras. To the person who is not familiar with photo- grapher techniques, the amount of time and skill needed in producing these pictures might be taken for granted. But after learning a little more about the art of picture-taking, these pictures reveal a particular idea that someone has tried to express through his work, in the same manner a painter or sculp- tor does. An example of how fast this field chang- ( es is the new section of the museum—the screening room, used for exhibiting impor- tant new videos. The theme of these videos is to show how much more quality and creativi- ty can go into a 30 second spot as compared to the hundreds of commercials we arc ex- posed to every day on television. They are all very interesting, poetic segments and contains a lot of insight into people's cultures and personalities. In a spot where New Eng- land fishermen are interviewed, they tell their stories of the sea; it is very interesting. ICP's purpose is to nurture the art of photography here in New York City—to give these artists a place to present their works and to expose others to this contemporary art form. The photography museum encourages the public to learn about this art through their classes and resource library. While i( appears that only the educated photographer and supporters of the arts have taken advan- tage of the Center so far, this could change. Photography as a fine art is reaching an ill. ever-widening audience, as more people begin to realize that there's more to it than pressing the button. «• Classifieds
