Four seniors equal 16 points. Eighteen is always greater than 16, although in could be hard to find. make this clear, let u this case, it is not a fair equation. The practice of tripling has never been a secret. But now, it has become an easy way to hike up point totals and gain entry to one of the few dorms on this campus in which students hope to live, The glaring inequity is that seniors who should have the first opportunities to reside in Walsh Hall arc now being displaced by other students because of tripling. The practice is accep- table if and only if the extra person's points are excluded from the lottery. Only then will the system be equitable. Another "glitch" in the present method is that through tripling, students can include in their suites students who will not be here next year (that is, students included in the lottery, but studying abroad). The names are added, the point totals stay high but the actual tripling is never the result. The only benefit of tripling should be the lower costs a student pays; a resident should not, as a result of tripling, be enabled to live in Walsh Hall—especially when other students lose out in the process. Through all the complaints of residents, our administrators and those involved in the lottery have again showed their annoying penchant for passing the buck. No one wants to be respon- sible for the mess. Assistant Dean of Residential Life, Peter Perhac claims a referendum is needed to eliminate tripling; he defended any inaction on his part by stating that tripling is not a new policy. However, tripling has been questioned before, and Perhac, in his position, should have recognized the potential problems of the practice. R.II.A. President Larry Evans absolved himself of any blame by using the same excuse. Even if last year's R.H.A. did not know about a tripling "agreement" Evans says was made last year, the policy should have been challenged if it was perceived as problematic. This is a respon- sibility of R.H.A. which was ignored. Evans and I'erhac also said they did not expect so many students would triple this year. If students could figure out how they could gain from tripling, why couldn't Evans or Perhac? Meanwhile, Matt McKinley claims USG has "nothing to do" with tripling. However, USG, as the student body representative, better have something to do with a housing policy which is unfair to many seniors. Even if, as McKinley says, R.H.A. has to change the system, the issue One can always argue for the value of knowledge for nection between past and could have been raised by USG. its own sake, but 1 think that more can be said, and it tention to the last case, The question we ask is: why didn't the University realize tripling could be used extensively for should be obvious by now that this is the point of my women of Christian so this purpose and do something about it?

The only consolation is that the audience was not subjected to too much of their artistic blundering. • If anyone has been wondering why most of the known world has been rushing to see Cuts or 9, then I urge you to see the Greenhouse. One can only assume that when the present Administration decreased this year's National Endowments for the Arts, they had this play in mind. It is my considered opinion that the continued performance of this production represents a very real threat to civilization as we now know it.

by Maura Healy The Fordham track team started off their outdoor season recently with good showings 1 MIGHT GET •: at their first three meets, including setting several school records, I The first meet was March 26 at Brooklyn BuriDONTGErmiBUPr College's Invitational. Fordham won the men's sprint medley, ran by Gil Valdes, John Madden Kevin O'Connell, Steve Facini and Peter Van Bloem, with a time of 3:34.3. The men's distance medley also did well—Bill Kelly, Kevin Kelly, Chris Weimar, and Pat Con- nelly were second with a time of 10:16.8. In the relays, the women were second in the mile relay while the men finished third. The women's relay of Caroline Cardon, Helen Banks, Laura Hanlon, and Kathy Lit- tlejohn clocked a 4:12.8, while the men's team of Kevin Kelly, Pat Hafford, O'Con- nell, and Luis Ruedas came in at 3:28.6. The women also placed second in the two mile relay with a 10:24.5. Pennie McLoughlin, Ann Kraemer, Monica LoPresti, and Mary Humphrey ran that race for the Rams. Over Easter weekend, the team travelled to the Colonial Relays at William and Mary in Virginia. Cardon set a school record in the 100 meter high hurdles with a time of 16.3. Colleen Coogan also set a school record in the 5000 with a time of 18:15.6. The women's mile relay team of Cardon, Banks, Hanlon, and Littlejohn set the school record with a 4:08.7. Other highlights included the two mile relay, which Finished third with a 7:49.5, thanks to the outstanding legs of Ruedas, 1:55.2, and Ed Finucan, 1:57.0. Ruedas also had a 51 seconds flat for his sprint in the mile relay. Tim Marshall's sprint in the 800 relay of 21.9 was also praised by Coach Tom Dewey. The sprint medley lost their grip on a first place finish when Gil Valdes took a tumble on thebackstretch. The women's team had their first three way meet Tuesday against Stony Brook and Barnard at Stony Brook. The hosts won with 74 points, Fordham was second with 56, and Barnard collected 17. The highlight of the meet was Hanlon's second place finish in the 400 of 61.2, a school record. Cardon was second in the 100 meter high hurdles, with a time of 16.6. Littlejohn was second in the 100 meters with a mark of 13.9; she also took third in the 200 meters with a 28.6. Cardon was first in the 400 low hurdles with a time of 68.6 Fordham pulled a one- two finish in the 800, with Banks clocking a 228.3 and Monica Lopresti a 2:30.4. McLoughlin was second in the 1500 with a 5:04.8. Liz Humphrey was first in the 5000 with a 19:02.7, and Coogan was the winner of the 3000 with an 11:01.9. In the relays, the team of Kate Keating, Banks, Hanlon, and Cardon was second in the 400 relay with a time of 54.5. Two Ram teams placed in the mile relay. Hanlon, Keating, Banks, and Littlejohn were first at 4:17.3, and LoPresti, Kraemer, Chris Bran- don, and McLoughlin were third at 4:30 Hat. In the field events, the women did well, considering some were doing events they had never done before. Cardon was second in the long jump with a leap of 14'7'/i", while Banks took second in the high jump at 4'4". Yvonne Torrente was third in the shot put at 33'tl", and first in the discus at 115'8".

Back in the 1982 fall season the remarkable Lady Rams brought the New York State Championship to Rose Hill, and now they have entered into the 1983 spring season with the same, if not more intense, winning at- titude. The first three opponents in the 1983 spring season fell prey to the powerful and domineering court play of the Lady Rams. Barnard became the first victim falling three matches to two, next was Pace, and then Adelphi backed down four matches to one. In these first three matches the singles have been headed by: senior Bette Ann Speliotis, junior Dina Roman, and sophomores, Elisa Frei and Julie Tighe. The doubles have held the combinations of: freshmen Sue Tulley and Liz Decarvelho and senior Mary Wasson with Tighe. However, this starting line-up is only ten- tative. The Lady Rams are presently com- peting in an inter-squad tournament so that they can place their top seeds, Other team members participating in this tournament for a hopeful top seed are: juniors Ellen Hanlcy and Patty Van Tassel and sophomores Kelley Craf fey and Jackie Wagner.

I-/ ,•,„,(.,••• THE RAM/THURSDAY, APRIL 7,1983/15 Paul Blair Hope For Success

by Jim Smith If Paul Blair submitted a resume to the Fordham athletic department nine months ago, it could have read something like this: major league baseball player for !6 seasons. Previous employers included the Baltimore Orioles, the New York Yankees and the Cin- cinnati Reds. Duties included playing center- field and first base every day, injured or not. Also did some designated hitting. Won eight Gold Gloves representative of the best defen- sive at his position. Played in six World Series, winning four and was also selected to two all-star teams. All this would be just a modest description of his qualifications to manage a baseball team. It leaves out the one thing Blair feels is most important, and that which he tries to impress upon his players the most—dedication to the game. Because it was dedication that carried him through a professional career and got him his present job as field general of the baseball Rams. Blair was born in Oklahoma and grew up in Los Angeles where like hundreds of other kids, he dreamed about being a professional ballplayer. "It was the only thing I ever wan- ted to be," he said, "and 1 was prepared to work at it." Blair did, and when he played his first minor league game in Santa Barbara, Cal., his dream came true. Drafted by the Mets out of high school in 1962, Blair played for their minor league teams until he was traded to the Orioles. It was one the first of the boneheaded trades for which the Mets would become famous. By 1965 he was playing centerfield in Baltimore. It was a position that belonged to him for 12 years until he was traded to the Yankees in 1977. During his tenure with the Orioles, he won his Gold Gloves, was selec- ted to his all-star teams, and played in four World Series, winning in 1966 and 1970, and losing in 1969 and 1971. With Baltimore, Blair was never a Rod Carew at the plate. But whenever a clutch hit was needed, he seemed to get it. It was on the field, though, where he made his reputation. Watching Paul Blair cover centerfield was like admiring a fine painting, with all the sub- tleties that might go unnoticed if you didn't look close enough. He seemed to get to any ball hit in his direction, and he never made an error, nor did he ever overthrow a cutoff man. He simply was an artist with the glove. With the Yankees in 1977 and 1978, their last two world championship years, Blair played on teams that included some of the most talented and controversial players ever to put on a uniform. While Billy and Reggie debated in the dugouts, Blair went quietly on, doing his job day in and day out without complaining. Bucky Dent may have deflated the Red Sox with his Fenway blast in 1978, but it was Blair anchoring the outfield that secured the WA game comeback that year. Amidst the Bronx Zoo atmosphere, Paul Blair was the only constant. The Yankees traded him to Cincinnati in 1979 who returned him to the Yankees the following year. Blair retired after the 1980 season without regret saying "I'm quitting because I'm ready to." The transition from player to manager has come easy for Blair. He asks only one thing of his players: to play the game the way he played it. He stresses fundamentals and wan- ts his players alert every minute of every of every game. "Having played for Earl Weaver for 12 years, my approach to the game is similar to his," he said. "We want to be aggressive running the bases and stress defense and pit- ching. If we get the hitting—O.K. I'd be happy if the players approach the game the way I did." The quiet Blair leads his team by example. He is not the all too typical rah-rah college coach. Instead, he downplays thai in favor of teaching his players how to get the most of their skills. "I give the players en- couragement," he said, "but that rah-rah stuff doesn't score you any runs." Blair feels his first team has the nucleus of a good club once they put all the myriad pieces together. Il is a team he inherited and lias not had a chance to build. "The pitching will be better than they've shown so far," he said. "The infield is as good as any you could want, they all field well and have very good hands, aiid 1 know that outfielders will be ;illiiyht in time." With Paul Hlaii as their mentor, theie is no reason vvliv thev shouldn't. 16/THE RAM/THUKbUAY, APRIL 7,1983 Baseball Rams Struggling: Record 4-12

Lacrosse Opens With Win And Tie

byJohnCosfagliola The 1983 Rams Lacrosse Club opened their season with a new coach, Art Bonifati, many new players, and a 7-7 overtime tie against the Jaspers of Manhattan College. Leading the attack for the Rams with five goals was Todd Morley. "Todd has been a great addition to the team. He has given us the effectiveness on offense that we lacked last year," said second year midfielder, John Davis. Morley comes to the Rams after tran- sfering from Hobart College, a highly-ranked Division III team. In their second outing the Rams came up with an impressive 12-6 win over a very physical Columbia Lions team. Once again Morley led all scorers with eight goals. Davis, Greg Shea, Mark Dumler and Joe McDonagh rounded out the scoring with one goal apiece. Thus far the Rams have been full of sur- prises. The midfield, which was thought to be a weak link before the start of the season, has been playing well thanks to the fine efforts of co-captains Jim Toes, Shea and Davis. Defensively, the Rams have received out- standing play from co-captain George Datino, freshman Bob Brisolari and second- year player Charlie Spinelli. "In order to be successful this season, we have to be patient and try to capitalize on the other teams' mistakes," said Brisolari. Much of Fordham's success has been at- tributed to first year coach Bonifati. Bonifati, an assistant to O'Neil Tulein during the football season, represents the first non- student coach the team has had in its short existence. Unlike other sports at Fordham, the Lacrosse team receives no funding from the Fordham Athletic Department. Each player has to supply his own equipment at an average cost of $65. Yet, this lack of recognition from the Athletic Department has not deterred the enthusiasm and dedication of this non-sports entity. The team still faces a long road ahead with such aggressive opponents as Pace, lona, Manhattan, and Columbia. These four and Fordham comprise the Metropolitan Lacrosse League. The Rams have two upcoming games. On Friday, April 8, they take on the lona Gaels at lona at 4 p.m., and on Sunday, April 10, Adult sizes only.
