It never returned after Berkeley, CA 94702 the film sequence was completed, Hughes is also home for a deceased Jesuit novitiate who has per- petually haunted the top floors of the building after his death there several years ago. Another ghost who likes to keep tabs on present-day Fordham is the spirit of the groundskeeper. When Alpha House was located at the Third Avenue gate entrance at the turn of the century, it was used to house Rose Hill's groundskeeper and his family. One of his duties was to walk around campus at night to make sure all the buildings were secure, It's said that one of his favorite tours was around St. John's Hall, which he used to circle more than once swinging a small Lantern. Reportedly he can be seen late at night circling the same building today, leisurely checking (he doors and swinging his lamp. Close by John's Hall is Fordham's own cemetery, which would be a lot more realistic if there were actually bodies there. It's said that this cemetary, consisting chiefly of young priests or men studying for the priesthood, was originally int he Botanical Gar- dens near the Bronx River (when Fordham owned that property). Af- ter the University allowed New York City to use the area for the gar- dens, the Jesuits reportedly just moved the stones onto campus but left the bodies in their original location. Other versions of this story say the bodies were re-dug and were in such disarray that whatever could be found of the skeletons was brought back to campus, but not many of the tombs are intact, It's also said that the cemetery was not in the Botanical Gardens at all; ac- tually it was under what is now the Old Gym. Probably the strangest natural phenomenon on campus is the so- called "Jesus Tree." Situated near Dealy Hall, opposite Edwards' Parade, the tree bears a striking resemblance to the crucified Christ. The allusion was reportedly discovered in 1979 when a coed noticed it as she was sitting on the steps of Freeman Hall. Rumor has it that the young woman could not stop screaming when she saw it, and it's said that practically all of the residents of Walsh Hall came running out to observe the figure. A few nights later, it's said that a freshman living in Robert's Plaza woke up in the middle of the night yelling "they're hurting him, they're hurting him!" The young man lept out of bed and ran across campus in his pajamas, with his roommates, in various states of dress, in close pursuit. Reportedly, he arrived at ihe "Jesus Tree" just in time to catch a group of students painting the tree red. This paint remains on that tree to this day. These are just some of the eerie tales surrounding the legends of Fordham. It should be made clear that this story is fiction, not fact. After all, we all know ghosts don't exist in real life, Or do they? FINANCIAL INTERNSHIPS

If you are a junior or senior level student who is majoring in Finance or Accounting as part of a four year degree program or are currently enrolled in a graduate business program, you can gain valuable business experience through a financial internship with MIBA.

Municipal Bond Insurance Association, the leader in municipal financial guarantees, offers top students full and part-time paid internships. As an intern at MBIA's Westchester County headquarters, you will research financial information, analyze financial reports and contact outside banks regarding municipal bond issues. These internships require detail oriented individuals with a 3.2 cumulative average or above and a keen interest in the municipal bond insurance field.

Candidates should submit a curriculum vitae and letter outlining their background to: Harriet Merl, Personnel & Placement Coordinator, MBIA, 445 Hamilton Avenue, White Plains, M MM^H JA New York, 10602, We are an MBIA equal opportunity employer.

Many Catholic orders has had two diocesan priests during This development depends on a value system, one that deals with the importance of service to others, dignity and personal care, an awareness of current issues and events in the world, and the ability to think and express oneself in an intelligent way. Since Jesuits are in short supply, universities are discussing several ways to teach this value system. One route is to involve the lay faculty. Solutions at Area Jesuit Univer- sities At St. Peter's College in Jersey City, N.J., talks on the spiritual teachings of St. Ignatius and how it lays the groundwork of the teachings of the Society of Jesus have been given to lay faculty members. "Most Jesuit colleges now are redefining their education as Jesuits," said Rev. Edward Heavey, S.J., dean of students, "and are making a conscious effort to explain it to people who are not Jesuit." Three years ago, Boston College Jesuits and lay faculty and staff went on a retreat to discuss what is meant by a Jesuit identity and how to con- tinue it. Lay faculty currently attend five day workshops at Loyola, Marymount to identify those values which they think are characteristic of Jesuit education. In 1975, 130 Jesuits taught at Boston College. Today, only 65 members of the faculty, 11 percent, are Jesuit, according to Kevin Duffy, vice president for academic affairs. "The numbers are not there to replace them," Duffy said. "The average age of the Jesuits at Boston College is in the high 50s." Students at Boston College are also getting involved. The student government set up a program where once a semester students can meet the Jesuits, and the residential staff hosts a cook out at the beginning of the year. Faculty-in-residence must commit one night a week to the students, and activities usually include a weekend mass or a dinner.

To Live and Die in L.A.: Violence is top priority in a new film by Oscar winning director William Friedkin.

by Lisa Ludvik In the old movies, the good guys wore white, the bad guys wore black, and the hero always killed the villain before the ending credits. In To Live and Die in L.A., hero and villain each wear a shade of grey. Centered around the lives of secret servicemen and their latest case, the movie is a larger than life version of a television crime drama. A secret service agent is brutally mur- dered out in the desert when he discovers the print shop of a ruthless counterfeiter. Tlie agent's partner, Richard Chance, decides that when one's partner is killed, there are no rules regarding right and wrong, and so sets out to get revenge for the murder. Chance is assigned a young and idealistic agent, John Vukovich, to help him solve the case. From there, the film takes to the streets of Los Angeles to show the gritty and seedy side of the City of Angels. This Los Angeles is one that will seem unfamiliar to most tourists, since it is the back alleys and sur- rounding desert of the city. Progressing on its, violent and sometimes tedious way, the movie becomes a bad clone of the popular Friday night series, Miami Vice, complete with a rock soundtrack by Wang Chung. The R-rated movie can do all the things that Vice can't—there is an excess of violence, sex and profanity. This is a movie that can entertain people who can't get enough of the Vice money, the audience is treated to a close up one in The French Connection that Friedkin force—to bring Masters to his knees. craze; but even they will find it boring and glimpse of how to make "funny money."' is famous for.

In his 20 years at Fordham, Dillemuth has served as the Chemistry Depart- ment chairman, rector of Fordham Jesuit com- munity, and acting dean of Fordham College. Powers said Dillemuth "is described as a Renaissance man, and the term fits very well in- deed." Another chemist, Biophysical Chemistry professor Theodore Herskovits, was also JllWtgllumw awarded on his 20th anniversary at Fordham. A native of Czechoslovakia who did his post- graduate work at Yale, Herskovits is known for being particularly hard-working. "When not in the classroom or counseling students, Doctor Herskovits can be found in the laboratory," Powers said. Dr. Florinda Iannace, another recipient this year, is an active member of the Modern Language Department but is perhaps best known for her many activities outside of the classroom. She founded the program through which students can study in Italy for a summer as well. She also created The Pope Cultural Society and the Dante Lecture Series. "Long before the days of ethnic awareness, she was aware that Americans of Italian Extraction were losing a rich cultural heritage," said Rev. Edward Dowling, S.J., dean of Fordham College. Dowling described Dr. Charles Kelbley as "a conspicuous example of continued growth" before presenting him with his medal. Kelbley is an associate professor in the Philosphy Department. A second member of the Philosophy Department also received the Bene Merenti medal, Rev. Vincent Potter S.J. Dowling praised his dedication to the University and to the students. "He works his students very hard but he works himself even harder," Dowling said. Rev.
