Rose Hill's block schedule gives imaginative students the unusual opportunity to plan their academic schedules to include 20/20's Peter Lance full days off each week. This leads equally imaginative administrators to try to change the block schedule every few years. The last change came in the fall of 1979, SERG Begins when Vice President for Administration Rev. George McMahon, S.J., changed the Training Session schedule so that students would have more difficulty in getting Fridays off. Now, Fordham College Dean Rev. James Loughran, S.J., and the Fordham College Council want the block schedule changed again, this time to make it more difficult for students to have Thursdays off. Loughran and the Council want to make Thursday a stronger class day. Under the proposed schedule, E, F, G, and H blocks would all precede the activities' period on Thursday. That activities period would be moved to 12:30-2:30 pm. It is the intention of the council "to make everyday a serious class day for as much of the day as possible"—thus decreasing the idea of having Thursdays off. The proposed schedule would also provide Murk ChiarelliA Nurse McQuillan "greater consistency in meeting times," according to Loughran and the Council. While Fordham University might be a safer place the early parts of the days are solid, I, J, K, « which to get hurt in the future. and L blocks are still "unattractive" and atRG, the Student Emergency Response make the late afternoon weak. Loughran is also suggesting "that one hC d tS ft tii i l ' ' hour (of the activities' period) be reserved for TJe Red Cross Multi-Media Standard First academic activities, such as a time when jw course was taught.

by Richard Dooley The rugby team is looking for a place on campus to play its games. The team currently plays its "home" games at Randall's Island. Club president Angelo Santinelli, CBA '84, claims that the club would not need its full $1,525 allocation from the Student Ac- tivities Council if it were able to use one of the several available fields on campus. The club is presently forced to use much of its allocation for transportation, while the bulk of the money necessary for the purchase of team attire comes from the pockets of the players themselves. Santinelli has spoken to several University administrators, including Executive Vice- President Paul Reiss, Vice President of Student Affairs Joseph McGowan and Athletic Director Dave Rice concerning this issue. But he says, "The buck has been passed so many times it's been depreciated. The only person who has really stuck her neck out for us has been (Associate Dean of Students) Mary Raddock." Few students venture to Randall's Island Rugby team in action on Martyrs' Court lawn: to see the club, which has about 40 members. They're still looking for a better home field.
