COMMENTARY Yielding To Life

By Peter Vfcseur Yet it is these same people whose selfishness may cost another person their life. These people forget that someday All motorists who are familiar with the rules of the road 'and the concept of right of way' understand the importance of I am not putting down the police or fire department; the work clearing the road when an ambulance (or some other emergency that they do is essential to all the members of our society, and vehicle) is obviously rushing through traffic on its way to their vehicles are responding to emergencies. What I think all respond to an accident. An ambulance's siren and lights are on motorists should keep in mind when an ambulance is this vehicle for one purpose only; to request the right of way approaching from the rear of their car, is that somebody else's from other motorists who may be in its path. This means that life may depend upon what decision they make—whether or not to get out of the way. Remember, do unto others as you would an ambulance cannot viotate traffic regulations, without the have others do unto you. If you were in the back of that driver's being certain that all other motorists have yielded the ambulance bleeding to death you would want other motorists to right of way to him (e.g. an ambulance may enter a one way have some compassion for your situation...wouldn't you? street at the wrong end, only if the driver sees that any oncoming traffic has pulled over to allow the ambulance to maybe one of them may need to be transported to an proceed). emergency room for whatever life threatening reason. Police Motorists are taught when they take the w. itten exam for cruisers when rushing through traffic have every vehicle get out their driver's license to pull their vehicle over to the right side of their way, why? Because no one wants to get a ticket for of the road, as far as the vehicle will go to allow for the obstructing justice. No motorist will stay in the path of an passage of any emergency vehicle. Despite this, however, many oncoming fire engine because subconsciously he knows that if motorists refuse to yield the right of way to an ambulance— that truck wanted to bully its way through traffic there would especially here in the city.

Straight Talk About AIDS

The New York Times and Tune magazine published mainstream publications such as Time, U.S. News and Vhrld many explicit excerpts from the report. U.S. News and Wforld Report, and the New York Times have been delinquent in their Report failed to publish the information, and stuck to the typical coverage of the virus.

tfia May 13,1987 / CLC Observer / page 7 OBSERVATIONS OPENLY CONFUSED

t seemed that the USG's recent Open Forum raised more questions than it answered, and one in particular: who actually runs this place? I Going by the fairly vague answers given to student's more technical questions on budgeting and finances, none of the administrators who appeared—including a vice-president and a dean— have much control over or input into the economics of the University, nor, for that matter, can any of them explain it very well. This shouldn't be too surprising. Fordham, like any bureaucracy, has many levels of authority; everyone has his or her own responsibilities, leaving little time to figure out how the University works as a whole. There are few people who really do understand "the big picture," or who can at least try to explain it. Perhaps the University President, Fr. O'Hare, could; theoretically, members of the Board of Trustees should understand the reasons behind the vital decisions that they make. For the day-to-day running of the school, however, Executive Vice President Cam- marosano is the person who really does know what's going on—and was probably the one person who could have answered the questions thafwere asked at the forum. USG members said that Cammarosano was invited, but did not attend because of his busy schedule and because there was no set subject for the forum. If that's true, the future forums should be organized around spe- cific topics—one on the dorm, one on the budget, one on the new curricu- lum—and the people who actually can answer those questions should be invited. If this particular Open Forum had been advertised as concerning the general topic of "student life," then perhaps betters questions could have been prepared and better answers could have been given; as it was, stu- dents and administrators alike just talked in circles. Considering the prob- lems we face, the last thing we need is more aimless talk.

The The Infected The The is one person, Matt Johnson, who uses several producers and co-writers, backing sing- ers, and musicians; Infected is his vision. John- son's growl-tinged voice reflects the spirit of the entire record, which is, somehow, gloomy yet danceable. Some tracks are nightmarish, others just depressing, but they all seem to Tit together, though I couldn't for the life of me describe the overriding concept. It's an interesting album, but not a terribly satisfying one. -M.K.L.

Pete Townshend Another Scoop More musings from the vaults of rock's last honest man. This second helping of home demos and projects contains skeletal versions of early Who classics like "Substitute" "The Kids are Alright", "Happy Jack" and "Christmas". But the fully-realized tracks like "The Shout", "Ask Yourself," "Girl in a Suitcase," and "Never Ask Me" are the real gems here. "Viscious Interlude" showcases both the pratfalls of home recording and Townshend's celebrated temper, while his boozy rendition of "You Better You Bet" has more teeth than the Who's more-studied reading. Encompassing a life-time of composing and experimentation, Another Scoop is testament to Townshend's contribution to the rock and roll form. You don't have to be a Who fan to like this album. • Stanley Kubrick's -T.W.
