For fans who are desperately seeking Madonna tickets, it might be easier to go to the movies and watch the pop-siren in her first starring role in a feature film, Desperately Seeking Susan, Although Madonna's presence pre- dominates the film, Desperately Seeking Susan isn't a two hour video for the pop tem- ptress. It is an offbeat comedy farce that suc- ceeds in its own unique way and the film's real star is actually Rosanna Arquette. Arquette plays Roberta, a bored New Jersey housewife stuck in a suburban rut. While Roberta sits home all day watching cooking shows secretly yearns for what lies beyond the Hudson River. She is essentially a Dorothy from Jersey whose Oz is the Big Apple, pie. Susan is chock full of entertainment, and it achieves this distinction without Steven Spielberg's special effects or an astronomical budget."
The free spirited Roberta longs for more Ithan an empty marriage to a yuppie hot tub salesman, and her curiosities lead her to the newspaper personal columns, which in turn in- troduces her to Susan, played by Madonna. Susan is a Greenwich Village drifter with the cleverness of a pickpocket, as she hops from bed to bed, adventure to adventure. Susan is the punk version of Kathleen Turner in Romancing the Stone and Karen Allen in Raider's of the Lost Ark, living her life on the edge and loving every minute of it. Susan's boyfriend Jim uses the classifieds whenever he wants to get in touch with her. Roberta follows Susan's footsteps by using the personals and through a few strange twists of fate, and a case of amnesia, Roberta looks, ac- ts and becomes Susan. The film turns out to be a new-wave farce of mistaken identity that slowly leads Roberta, who thinks she's Susan, through the nutty and gritty back allies of Manhattan's lower east side. The film's location makes it a great New York City story. All the sites and kooks of Manhattan define the film's character. Rosanna Arquette may be a second the pop-siren in her first feature film role in Desperately Seek Susan. gives an outstanding comic but touching por- trayal as Roberta. Her range as an actress is incredible. She is a realistic dramatic actress, as well as a talented comic. The 25 year-old Arquette is best remem- bered for her strong performance as Gary Gillmore's girlfriend in The Executioner's Song.

Reiss explained she doubts that such a move would be made! Instead, she feels a new facility will be built to provide adequate space for the entire collec- tion of library materials. Reiss, though, remains non-commital about the library Good friends keep you going facilities proposals. "You can't really consider what you're going to do with respect to the library facility without considering the cost," he said. "My when all you want to do is stop. ideal solution, if cost were no factor at all, "would be to build a library under Edwards Parade and have entrances at various places around campus," said Reiss. Dormitories Get Library Funding The problem of inadequate space in Duane is not a new concern for Fordham. Although it was stressed by the recent Middle States Evaluation, it was evident years ago that available space in the library was being swallowed by new acquisitions. When the funds for a new library were available in 1976, a decision was made to use University funds to build new dormitories, said Reiss. Based upon a projection he made for the academic year 1976-1977, it was estimated that the University would lose 800 commuter students, within a few years. It was decided that Fordham should concentrate on attracting more residents by building new dorms and renovating older buildings such as New Hall and Hughes Hall into dorms. "Dorms were more important than a library because dorms were absolutely essen- tial to maintain the norms of qualified studen- ts at Fordham," explained Reiss. He added that 70 percent of Fordham's revenue comes from student tuition. According to Reiss, the University would have to drop its admission standards to maintain its current level of in- come and the University could not afford losses in income without dropping its ad- mission standards. According to Reiss, Fordham has added some 800 resident students over seven years. Although the total enrollment has not in- creased at all over that period, Reiss said. "We would have lost those 800 commuting students anyway. Eight hundred students represents 20- 25 percent of the enrollment of Fordham College and the College of Business Ad- ministration. The University would have been in very bad shape had that not been done." Classifieds Start your career now. Earn money and work on Fortuno 500 companies.
