It did veer into the unbelievable at times, and some of the outlines were not filled in quite as much as could have been desired, but, all in all, a thoroughly tearful time was had by everyone. The most disputed aspect of the episode dealt with Hawkeye's "nervous disorder." We learn that the pressures of the past years of horror came to a head in a bus incident. A Korean woman carried an infant on the bus, which was stopped and blacked-out to avoid enemy fire. Because the baby was crying, Hawkeye became upset that this noise would draw enemy artillery to their location. He approaches the woman and hisses to her to "shut that damn thing up." Not knowing what else to do, the mother smothers her child. Hawkeye represses this, turning the child into a chicken (also representative of his "I can't believe it," said honorary E-6 own fears), but with the help of visiting resident Chris Alverez, "this is more than psychiatrist Sidney Freedman's help, NBC's Anna anyone expected."

Biaggi, speaking about what is considered to be President Ronald Reagan's inability to place responsibility in the hands of the federal government called for the President to come forward with a massive jobs bill that would heal the "gaping wound in our nation's economy." Biaggi, who also spoke about unem- ployment, addressed a major issue for NOB- SAC: social security.

by Palli Walsh Alumni House, home of the Office of Residential Life, also known for many years as the "Pillbox" for its use as an infirmary during World War II, has served as a grand repository for a vast number of functions in its 143 years of multifacetcd and versatile history. The second oldest building on campus, this edifice has watched Fordham flourish from The Fordham Alumni House (right), otherwise the modest beginnings of a few buildings and known as the "Pillbox," "Rodrigue College," "The six students in 1841, to a modern day in- Old Parish House," "College Clothes Room," the For- stitution of higher learning serving (he dham Univeristy Press Building and the Residence thousands of members of the Fordham community. Halls Office. The inscribed title "Alumni House" above the stone set date of 1840 resting on the doorway refers to its use as the Alumni headquarters before functioning as the Housing office. Situated West of Bishop's Hall and adjacent to the Conrail Railroad tracks, the building was approved as a New York City landmark by the Board of Estimate in 1981. Patterned of simple ver- nacular architecture, the one-and-a-half story fieldstone structure, like the Ad- ministration Building, was designed in the Greek Revival style. The building seems to have been built with residential purposes in mind. Its first official name was "Rodrigue College" after the designer, William Rodrigue. A brother-in- law of Archbishop John Hughes and a mathematics instructor, Rodrigue was the first occupant along with his wife and seven children. It was also at one time used as a dormitory for seminarians of St. John's College, and for Fordham athletes in the early 1920s. Prior to the establishment of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy on Marion Avenue, the "Pillbox" functioned as a rectory when the University chapel served as the local Parish church under a Jesuit pastor. Termed "The Old Parish House," this situation existed when St. John's College became Fordham University in 1917. The structure operated for a time as the dining room for the Third Division, the pre- preparatory school department, when that division was housed in St. John's Hall. Later, it was transformed into the "College Clothes Room," serving the laundry needs of Hie Jesuit community as well as Fordham studen- ts. Perhaps its most unexpected function, though, is its use as a bakery, specializing in Fordham's Dependence On "Fordham Buns."

After much haggling he finds a replacement surgeon and a ride to the airport. So where's the snafu? Good question. In true Army tradition, the orders are rescinded and B.J., unable to get out of the country in time, returns as his own replacement. But wait—the heartwarming moment arrives.

He is eventually able to realize and express his gratitude, as he returns a much- loved volume of Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Hot Lips. He is ultimately reached, however, through his passion for music. He "cap- tures" a band of Korean musicians who are able to communicate with him through the magic of Mozart. The POWs are soon relocated, but the bus carrying them is at- tacked, and only one musician survives long enough to return to the 4077th. He dies as Charles looks on. Distraught, he returns to his tent and after playing a few bars of the song they had been rehearsing, smashes the album in a rare outburst of emotion. He will now return to Boston, to his old way of life, but intrinsically changed; music by his own admission, instead of being a refuge, will now be an eternal reminder of the war.

Twenty-four hours is a long time to dance in a marathon; But the worthy cause it supports helps the dancers to endure the aching muscles, tired feet and general exhaustion when one en- tire day takes its toll. The University is considering changing the marathon to a 12-hour dance. This significantly alters the "Challenge" of the event. While other events could be designed to make up lost revenues, why not have those events and the 24-hour marathon (which raised $11,000 last year)? The three-hour sleeping break, which has been added to this year's marathon, defeats the purpose of a true 24-hour marathon. There were sufficient breaks last year (over two hours combined) which were short enough to prevent painful cramps but long enough for much needed rest. The University has agreed on the three-hour break in hopes of preventing another freak ac- cident like the one which occurred last year because of a wet floor, but including a three-hour break will probably not help prevent another accident. Instead, a strict rule forbidding food and beverages in the immediate dancing area would be the smart solution. Also, the Ramskellar should not be donating its proceeds from beer sales, considering its financial situation. The Ramskellar is to be commended for its generosity in offering to do this, but why not tack on an extra 10 or 20 cents for the price of a beer and donate that? The marathon is for a great cause. It is people dancetng and raising money for those who are less fortunate. It is a great social event. But it should be 24 hours, not 27 or 12.

The neigh- borhood children just wave hello, and only their parents say, "Hi, Ed." My only identity problem is the one that comes an- nually with the requirement to fill out the space on my Federal Income Tax form marked "Occupation." For years I alternated between Teacher and Professor, Researcher and Scientist and even at one time or another listed Biologist, Physiologist, and Phar- macologist. Since for all those years I was doing essen- tially the same thing, I finally settled on "Teacher" in the hope that I would thereby be lumped, for the sake of possible income tax auditing, with people of similar income and expenses. In tax matters, obfuscation may be preferable to precision. In fact, the role of a university professor is multifaceted and fascinating and offers a career that I am glad I did not miss for the opportunity to be a doc- tor, lawyer, businessman or any one of the many other enticing goals I see being held up for the Fordham student. At first I was overwhelmed by all the different things that 1 was expected to be and sometimes had trouble answering, when someone at a party simply asked, "And what do you do?"
