RamARTS 19B7 Wrap Up What's on TV Tonight
By LISA. LUDVIK Well, another year of television has come and gone, and soon most of the new series will have been cancelled, some old series will have become boring, and the dreaded reruns will have begun. It wasn't until I reached college that I realized just how valuable reruns are. While these days it seems I never have time for television, by the time June rolls around I am craving even the most inane show. If you are like the average Ford ham student, nightime television watching is restricted to the bare essentials such as Monday Night Football, Family Ties, Moonlighting, and maybe David Letterman.

When days are here again, the skies are...." and collectively. It's our fault that American society has become so polarized. We are the ones who have allowed the American ideal of individulism to be distorted into mass apathy and materialism; the ideal March6toApril23,1988* of social mobility to destroy our strong familial tradition; the ideal of freedom to turn into moral relativism and freedom from responsibility. We have permitted the deterioration of our neighborhoods and our schools. We've allowed our children to become less and less literate, our minority groups to become BERMUDA more and more culturally isolated, our children's teachers to not give a damn about our kids' education. It's our fault that 40 percent of New York City's children are presently living in poverty. If children are, indeed, the future, then the future COLLEGE WEEKS of America is a very precarious one. There is nothing more sad and disturbing than looking into the eyes of a hungry child — whether that child is white, black, or Hispanic, it makes no difference. In every child can be found the personification of hope, the promise of a beautiful life, the potential for success, the elements of our future. In every child can be found our greatest responsibility. So, where do we start? By acknowledging our common humanity. By breaking down this artificial barrier separating Us from Them. By realizing that distinctions based on wealth or class can never separate us from our humanness — the one ingredient which we all possess in equal amounts. Once we learn that the value of Norman's life, or that of Senator Moynihan's, is no greater than that of the welfare mother or her three children, everything else will flow naturally from there. Our love of humanity will thus enable us to put our individual wealth — including our talents — into the service of others. I believe that Norman understood this principle very well. It's Thanksgiving Day as I write this piece. In the background of my thoughts, 1 can hear the buzzing of the electric knife my Father uses to carve the turkey; the clinking of the dishes and glasses as my sister sets the table; my mother's voice rallying all the relatives to the dinner table. Today, of all days, I feel depressed and broken-hearted. My thoughts travel back to Monday night, when a group of students from the Hunger Coalition and I distributed Thanksgiving food baskets to about 20 families in the Bronx; rather I think about the thousands of families that we. did not reach that day, and how they, would be celebrating Thanksgiving today.
