The celebrants, Rev. W. Norris Clarke, Rev. L. ,\ugustine Grady, Rev. Frederick J. Helbig, Rev. Walter Charles .laskievicz, Rev. Joseph F. Mitros and Rev. Ed- ward J. Sweeney all entered the Society around 1933 when thev ranged in ages from 17 to 24. All have spent at least 20 vea,s of their Jesuit life in the community at Fordham University. The Society of Jesus, established in 1540 by St. lunatius Loyola, was created as an all purpose organization io serve the church in its area of greatest need. The Jesuit creed "Ad Majoram Dei Gloriam" in English means "For THE CELEBRANTS (left) perform Mass the Greater Glory of God." At the time of St. Ignatius the in honor of their 50 years in the Society area of greatest need was in education. Since that time the lesiiii order has been most commonly regarded as a of Jesus. leaching order.

Most Jesuits start their training as Walter Jaskievicz. Seated: Father teenagers, right out of high school, by entering the Joseph Mitros, Father Frederick Helbig novitiate for two years of spiritual training. Some time and Father Augustine Grady. during this period novices are required to partake in lunation Spiritual Exercises, a retreat where novices are required to live in total silence for 30 clays. When the noviceship is completed, novices pronounce their first vows of poverty, chastity and obedience to the Jesuit order and are recognized as scholastics in the Society of Jesus. The next 12 years are spent in the pursuit of education. Jesuits are required to fulfill two years of literary studies in college, followed by three years of study in philosophy. After five years of academic study, Jesuits enter a three-year regency, teaching high school students or college undergraduates. The regency is followed by four years of theological study; during the third year they are ordained into the priesthood. Any time after three years of having been ordained. the Jesuit enters a Tertianship, which is a nine month program preparing him for his final vows. During the ter- tianship the Jesuit follows a five-month apostlate in work that he has never done. This is followed by a thirty-day retreat, and then two months of indepth reflection and revaluation of his commitment to the Jesuit order. Ap- proximately 17 years after entering the noviceship, Jesuits take their final vows. A repetition of first vows signifies that they are fully accepted into the Society of Jesus and that the individual is certain of his decision to become a Jesuit. Celebrating Their 50th Year "Teaching at Fordham for 27 years has been a con- tinuous high," says Clarke, a philosophy professor at For- dhain.

Silly Sanctions Do you remember (he punishment you got back in grammar school when you did something "bad"? For some of us, the teacher made us write a certain sentence (a number of times) admitting our guilt. Maybe it was: "I will not throw chalk at John" or "I will not trip Mary" or something along those lines. A similar elementary and infantile punishment was given recently to 55 students by Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Mary Raddock. The students had altered their IDs to get into alcohol-related activities. Is she kidding? Haddock's statements to THK KAM contradict the punishment she gave. She said the freshmen apparently "did not have time to read the Conduct Code and did not realize this was a serious offense." Although she called it "serious," she did not address it as such. The offense pales in comparison to other violations of the University Code of Conduct, but to have college students write the Code five times is ridiculous. Can't a University dean come up with a more mature punishment—one the students will learn from and take seriously? Perhaps a small fine would have been a more reasonable and adult approach to the in- cident. It's good the incident may lead to more alcohol-free activities for freshmen. But a silly reprimand is an empty action; it would have been better to issue no punishment at all. Initiative Congratulations to the members of Ford ham's freshmen class—they entered a record number of parties and candidates for freshman elections. Eight parties were involved—a signi- ficant number when compared with previous years. It's refreshing news to see their concerns center on such issues as security and careers. But Viewpoint the candidates are also concerned about social life and freshman activities. New Fordham College President Walter Cesarski has a simple but excellent approach: working with students.

It reads: "Join the SUNY Pur- chase women's tennis team. No experience necessary." The poster and the results of the match, 5-0, were indicative of Fordham's tennis dominance in recent years. On Mon- day, the Lady Rams added C.W. Post to their ever-growing list of victims. "We're running out of competition in the metropolitan area. I'd like to play better teams, but our budget doesn't allow it," said Coach John Rooney. Rooney said Fordham women's tennis is allowed just one overnight trip per season, which prevents the Lady Rams from scheduling teams of their calibre outside ol the metropolitan area. "To be honest about it, a lot of teams don't want to play us because we're too strong," he said. If Rooney is looking for a budget in- crease, he can offer the Rams' last two mat- ches as concrete evidence to support.his case. Not a player on the SUNY Purchase squad could find a way to take even a single game from Fordham in last Friday's 5-0 triumph. Liz deCarvalho, playing first singles, defeated Wendy Riger 11-0. Patty Van Tassel overwhelmed Jane Farkas 6-0, 6-0 and Deb- bie Hutchins rounded out the singles action with her own 6-0, 6-0shutout.

Post was more of a confidence-builder than a true test for the Lady Rams. After describing C.W. Post as a "respectable team," Rooney went on lo ex- plain, "It was an interesting match insofar as we were able to use five of our less- experienced girls in the number three singles and both doubles matches. Exposure to competition is really the only way to learn how to win." The only smudge that tainted an other- • wise characteristically brilliant performance was a 4-6,4-6 first doubles loss. Ellen Hanley and Carol Murray fell victim to Barba Block and Sue Warner.

Sweeps Meet by Diana Patulak The men's cross-country team upped its record to 8-5 this past Saturday, as the Ram runners swept a five mile quadrangular meet against Lafayette, New York Tech and Wagner. The Rams were especially happy about beating Lafayette after a heartbreaking one- point loss to them last year. The Rams did not just squeak out a win either—they won by a 23-34 score. "It felt really good to beat Lafayette this year after losing such a close Fordham meet last year," said Coach Thomas Dewey. Fordham has a history of beating New York Tech and Wagner, and this year was no different. Fordham beat Tech 23-37 and blew away Wagner 15-50.

The burly junior ran up the middle, and, when he hit the W.P.I, defense, the ball squirted free. The Engineers recovered Johnson's lost ball on the Fordham 15. With just under five minutes left in the half, Scac- cioti wasted little time in lighting up the Scoreboard lor W.P.I. The lanky QB connected with split end Chuck Hickey for a 15-yard scoring toss to give the Engineers a 6-0 lead. It was an outstanding grab by Hickey who dove for the ball and was barely able to keep his feet in bounds. Dean Ayotte tacked on the extra point to lengthen the W.P.I, lead to seven. In a last ditch effort to score, Tutein inserted freshman kicker John Kennedy to attempt a 43-yard field goal. The kick had the distance but sailed to the left of the upright, as the gun for the first half sounded. The Rams emerged from the locker room hoping to mount an offensive surge in the second half. The third quarter was scoreless and Fordham was optimistic as they earned the final stanza. This optimism would soon turn sour as W.P.I. received a field goal from Ayotte to increase their lead to 10-0. With time still left for a comeback, McCain tried to bring the Fordham gridders back. His efforts were thwarted, however, when one of his passes was intercep- ted and returned 55 yards for a touchdown by John Bibinski. When Fordham got the ball back, they refused to die. The Rains began what would be their most produc- tive drive of the day. McCain, who threw for 163 yards on the day, concluded the scoring drive with a 9-yard hookup to sophomore flanker Tony Gagliano. Gagliano snared three passes on the drive and, along with Andy O'Connell and Atkinson, provided some consistency at receiver for the Rams. The score stood at 16-6 with under nine minutes left. Any hopes of a Ram' comeback were vanquished as W.P.I, kept the ball on the ground with the bruising Mike Carbonc. Caibone, the nation's leading rusher with an average of over 150 yards per game, finished the day with 103 yards or groundwork. His bulldozing helped set the stage for the final Engineer score which consisted of a 32-yard scoring pass from Scaccioti to tight end John St. Cyr. The final score was 22-6 and for W.P.I, it was fun. For Fordham, however, fun was going to be hard to find. Hopefully, there will be some at Rose Hill before the season ends. Ram Notes: Scott Atkinson had a masterful clay pun- ting. The sophomore kicked four times for a 190-yard total (47.5 avg.), which included a 58-yarder. Atkinson, who doubles as a wide receiver, also hauled in four LAGER BEER passes.
