By BILL MCCARTHY At the movies, everyone enjoys a good love story. One that makes you laugh, cry and compels you to care about its characters from start to end. The problem is that with decades of films behind us, the traditional boy romances girl, boy gets girl, boy loses Kelly girl, boy gets her back formula has been done Timothy hundreds of times. Made In Heaven, the new light drama directed by Alan Rudolph Hutton McGillis definitely is not by a long shot anything seen before. In fact this film, starring Timothy Hutton and Kelly McGillis, is sure to be the most out of this world love story of the year. That being because nearly half of the film takes place in, as the title states, heaven. Hutton plays Mike Shea, a young man" leading a no better than dreary, uneventful life in a 1930's midwest town. After being jilted by his girlfriend, Mike decides to leave his boring town for California. On the way he dives in a river to rescue a woman and her children from a sinking car, losing his own life in the process. These up until now black and white scenes suddenly transcend into vibrant color as Mike discovers, upon being welcomed by his long deceased Aunt Lisa, that he is in fact in heaven. This black and white to color translation a la Wizard Of Oz provides a nice touch. Mike gradually becomes used to things as Aunt Lisa (Maureen Stapleton in her usual sweet grandmother role) shows him the ropes. And what a place! The scenery is always bright and beautiful, people can go Top Gun.

Turning Worlds

here is a still center of Eternity. A place where all pasts, presents and futures meet. This intersecting point of knowledge and experience, pleasure and pain, mortality and Timmortality has been described and referred to in a variety of different ways by mystics, prophets and teachers who have experienced it. Some have described it as God or Heaven. Others have referred to it as Nirvana or Tao. In Zen it is called Zen mind or Enlightenment. While names, descriptions and methods for reaching the still center of being vary greatly, the ultimate worth of this awareness is agreed upon by all who have shared it. The experience of die still center of being brings freedom, self-control, balance and power to those who have attuned their lives to it. Zen is the study of the Ten Thousand States of Mind and of Enlightenment, the still center which lies beyond the Ten Thousand States of Mind. It is a highly personal study which brings clarity and purpose into the lives of those who practice it. Zen Buddhist thought has had a profound influence upon Chinese and Japanese history and culture. A great deal of the current success of the Japanese corporate mind stems from the effect of centuries of Zen practice in Japan. Martial arts, dance, poetry, the tea ceremony and many other forms of personal, athletic and artistic expression have been given birth to by Zen mind Zen is a highly refined and artistic approach to the meaning of life. It isn't necessary to learn Oriental customs or to speak the Japanese language to successfully practice it. All that is required is an open mind, patience, a good sense of humor and an intense desire for self-improvement. I have written a free booklet about Zen for the "computer age" called "The Zen Experience."8"' In it I discuss Zen in more depth, and describe both contemporary and traditional methods I employ in teaching Zen at seminars and in private practice. If you would like to learn more about Zen and the wonders of your own mind, call or write for this free booklet today. Find the still center of your own being. Study Zen.

Fordham looked impressive from the start but did not score until 12 minutes into the game when Steve Troutman connected on a 37-yard field goal.

RAMSports Freshmen to Have Impact By HENRY HERBERMANN Fordham's new head basketball coach Nick Macarchuk is very optimistic regarding the possibilities of a successful 1987-88 season tor his team. He is especially excited about the ability and potential of three freshman added to this years squad, Macarchuk's first ever recruits at Fordham, Fred Herzog, Mike Rice, and Kevin McBride. The coach expects each to assume important roles in the teams play this year. "All three freshmen will get playing time this year," Macarchuk exclaimed. "I'm pleas- ed with their attitudes and work habits in prac- tice. They will all get on the job training and each will gain essential experience." Although the coach values each of his freshman equally, Fred Herzog appears to have the best credentials coming out of high school. Last year playing center for Colonia High School of central New Jersey he averaged 19 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 blocked shots per game. In post-season play he led his team as tar as the Group III state semifinals. Despite his fine stats most big time schools did not recruit the 6'8" Herzog, believing he was to small to play center. Fordham's basketball staff, however, was clearly impressed with his play and Macarchuk decided to recruit Herzog persistently. This past spring Herzog played outstan- ding basketball for the Jersey Road Runners of the AAU League at a different position, small forward. All at once he began getting phone calls from the likes of )im Boeheim and Bob- by Cremens. Herzog, an intelligent youngster, who could have gone to any Ivy-League school, took serious looks at Syracuse and Princeton before choosing to attend Fordham. Kevin McBride Mike Rice Fred Herzog "I really liked the atmosphere on this cam- pus as opposed to the other places I looked at. And of course Fordham is a school of good academic standing, " said Herzog discussing the reasons for his choice. "I was also impress- ed with the coach, his attitude, and the schedule Fordham plays." New Faces Assist Classmate Mike Rice decided to attend Fordham for essentially the same reasons.

There's no doubt in my mind that she's the best player in the conference, so ob- viously, she's the key player for us. But, as we showed last year, you can't win with just one player being an outstanding player. I think it's going to be very important that we get support from a couple of players on the team. One will be sophomore Liz Kane. Liz made the All- MAAC Rookie team last year, She averaged 12 points and about eight rebounds a game, so we're looking for her to increase those totals this year, to 16 or 17 points and 10 or 11 re- bounds. We think with her improvement over the summer that she's certainly capable of do- ing that. A couple of other key playes will be Lara Matsalla, who had a good season last year, averaging five rebounds and eight points as a sophomore. As a junior, she seems to have im- proved a lot over last year. Kathy Reidy, our sophomore center, who started most of the games last year as a freshman has shown the capability to be the best center in the league. Her problems last year were defensive inex- perience and foul trouble. She was inconsis- tent in terms of her performance. But, she jumps better, she's stronger and probably since you have so many young players. quicker than any center in the league. So, if KERN: Yes — there are two seniors on the Kathy puts her mind to it and works hard like team, one of whom will probably start, but •she did over the summer, there's no reason looking at next year's team, again, 10 or 11 why she can't be an essential player for us.

They will miss some practices during this time but coach Macarchuk feels that the present team is most important so they will not be missing any games, as some coaches at other schools do. Normallly they will visit a player four or five times to show a maintained interest. As Van Gundy said, "We try to make every kid feel like he's number one because you never know who will actually sign with you, and no matter who you end up with they're the most important." Coach Macarchuk has confidence in their recruiting because of their coaching ex- perience and the fact that they are both young men and relate to the players well. Another aspect of coming to Fordham is coaching in a new and more competitive conference. Both coaches are looking forward to the heated rivalries of the MAAC. Such rivalries as For- dham against lona, Fairfield, and Manhattan aren't as prominent in the ECAC North Atlan- tic (Canisius' conference). Said Van Gundy, "The schools in the MAAC are located so close to each other that the students can go to almost every game. When Canisius plays Northeastern or Boston University it's a seven hour trip so even though it's a good game you don't have a really heated rivalry." Also, the MAAC is more competitive from top to bottom while the lower teams in the ECAC rarely beat the other teams.

Last March in the Bronx there wasn't much to be excited about as the Fordham basketball season was long over. After a rebuilding season in 1985-86 this was going to be the year when Fordham moved back to the top of the MAAC and made the NCAA's. Instead the coaching situation was in disarray all season and the Rams played in- consistently forcing a.sub-.500 record for the second consecutive year. The season started off controversialy when, after eight successful seasons, head coach Tom Penders left his post for the same position at URI. Penders wanted a contract ex- tension and when Fordham refused, he left. Just six weeks before the opening tip-off, For- dham had no coach and you could sense this was going to be a rollercoaster season. Athletic Director Frank McLaughlin nam- ed Perders former assistant, BobQuinn, as the interim coach and began conducting a national year long search for a new coach. The search, next to the Iona victory, was the most exciting part of the season. Names like AIMcCuire and Lefty Driesel were mentioned as possibilities and the Fordham name was consistently in the papers. Finally, in May, McLaughlin decided upon former Canisus mentor, Nick Macarchuk. However, long before that announcement was made there was an entire season to be played. A season with some great moments, but a season that ended much earlier than it should have. Led by five experienced seniors, outstan- ding sophomore Joe Paterno, junior transfer January brought the Rams to Hawaii for dham crushed Alaska-Fairbanks 107-83 12 rebounds to lead Fordham over the Greg Pedro, and junior Tom Parrotta, Fordham the Hawaii Pacific Invitational in Hanolulu.
