"It was mostly an effort to break clown the walls of Fordham and the Bronx com- munity," said Cybil McPhcrson, FC '86 head of the Community Action Council. The Council invited several redevelop- ment projects, such as the West Bronx Com- munity and Clergy Coalition, to talk to For- dham students about community programs and opportunities available to college studen- ts. Before the activities on the lawn commen- ced, the representatives from the community organizations talked about Iheir projects in the McGinlcy Ballroom and recruited volunteers. The activities on Martyrs' Lawn were sponsored by Club Sports. The festivities began with a band named Street the Deal sponsored by the Concert Committee and the United Student Government.

Looking Through The Iron Curtain Continued from page 13 they are subjected to 1 can understand their uneasiness. Several friends of mine who attended the circus in Moscow were shocked as they witnessed their first propaganda film which was shown before the circus began. And who do you think played the leading role in the film? That's right—the good old U.S.A. The film showed several of our planes dropping "the bomb" and a mushroom shaped cloud developing. People had gone to the circus for a little laughter and lo leave their troubles behind yet they had to be reminded of the constant threat of nuclear war. What a nice thought. Most Soviets we met wanted peace more than anything else. While we were in Leningrad my friends and I were invited to a Russian "nightclub" by a young Soviet. We had been sitting around a table for a while when a man approached us and asked our Russian friend if we were tourists. When he learned that we were Americans he raised his glass and said in broken English "peace and friendship." The same gentleman returned some moments later and said that he would be honored if we joined him in a private graduation party which was being held in a bul- let room upstairs and we graciously accepted his in- vitation. About 25 engineering school graduates were busily celebrating their accomplishments. We were in- vited to take part in a very old Russian tradition—doing shots of Vodka as if they were water, turning down a shot was highly insulting. Needless to say, we American beer drinkers were not as skilled in the art of absorbing Russian Vodka. We paid for it the next day—and lor several days after that. As my friends and I shared in the merriment of thK graduation celebration each one of us was encircled by live or so of the graduates who asked endless questions about life in the United States, via the help of a bilingual student. They told us of their lives and expressed hope of the upcoming peace talks in Geneva. The most touching point of the evening came as we began to toast for "peace and friendship" and we proceeded to exchange Russian "bear hugs." The ne\t day 1 realized the irony of it all.
