After onlv a few weeks in New York, he gave up a lectorship at Union Theological Seminary in order to rejoin his fellow Christ- ians in Nazi Germany. "I have had the time to think and to pray about my situation and that of my nation and to have God's will for me clarified. I have come to the conclusion that I have made a mistake in coming to America. I must live through this difficult period of our national history with the Christian people of Germany. I will have no right to participate in the reconstruction of Christian life in Germany after the war if I do not share the trials of this time with my people," Bonhoeffer said. His return home before the outbreak of World War II meant joining the political conspiracy of the resistance movement, and in 1942 he met his friend Bishop G.K.A.

Bonnhoeffer is notorious for admiring the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, that is, non- violence. He sought to meet Gandhi, however this wish was never fulfilled. Bonhoeffer believed that all nations must live in peace. "Christians may not take up arms against one another because in so doing they would be taking up arms against Christ," Kelly explained. Jean Lassere, a student at Union Theo- logical Seminary said,"Longing for peace is a duty for any man who respects himself."

The Edit The recent controversy surrounding the recognition, or lack thereof, of Kappa Delta Rho, a national social fraternity that had a chapter here at Fordham, has definitely opened the proverbial can of worms. With a sense of urgency that is typical of Congress in an election year, the members of the United Student Government and the Student Activities Council, suddenly realizing that many of Fordham's SAC- funded organizations have restrictive eligibility requirements, have set out to dispose of this "discrimination" and "contradiction" in policy once and for all. Their case seems to be a good one: all students pay a Student Activity Fee ($60), which goes into a pool of money that finances all of the clubs and organizations on campus; therefore, they believe that all clubs should be open for membership to all students. In fact, they say that according to the Student Handbook, all SAC-funded clubs have to be just that—open to all members of the Fordham community. The only problem with this theory is that it's wrong. Unless these students and administrators are using a different translation of the 1986-87 Student Handbook, the regulations regarding club membership clearly state that "all SAC-funded clubs must be technically open to all Fordham students who can meet the requirements" {page 33). What the handbook also says, however, is that all SAC-funded events must be open to the entire University community. And this is a big difference. The activity fee that we all pay does finance to different degrees almost every club existing on campus. But, we pay the fee so that we have student-sponsored events and activities occurring on campus, not so we can join every' club. This would be ridiculous. "Discrimination" is a very dangerous word and is often difficult to precisely define, Is it discrimination if an international honor society fraternity excludes membership by students carrying a G.P.A. below 3.0? Is it discrimination if an ethnic organization restricts eligibility to students of a particular heritage? No, because these clubs have been specifically created and designed to meet the "individual needs and talents of its students" (page 16, Student Handbook). Now, whether or not SAC funds should finance these special interest clubs is a totally different matter, and is an issue worthy of more debate. USG and SAC should realize, however, that about 16 clubs will be directly hurt by such a change in policy, and many of these organizations serve highly beneficial purposes for their members. And, we'd like to suggest that if USG and SAC arc looking for violations of existing codes, the best place to start would be on page 39 of the handbook, with the regulations expressly prohibiting any form of mental or physical "hazing," which, unfortuntcly, many of our "frats" and organizations on campus and off campus engage in. These actions are not only dehumanizing, hut also extremely dangerous. USG, in its attempt to save us from ourselves, has opened up a can of worms that need not have been opened. The case of Kappa Delta Rho, despite public opinion to the contrary, is a unique case and should be treated as such. The "other negative aspects" of this fraternity that Dean Michael Sullivan declined to elaborate on a couple of weeks ago obviously played a significant part In the University's removal of recognition. Granted, the Administration was wrong and insensitive in revoking recognition without notifying USG or waiting for USG to take action on its own. But, was Kappa Delta Rho realy arbitrarily singled out, as some proponents of this organization claim? The facts suggest otherwise.

Although the fall season is not very extensive, it is important for getting the team in shape and preparing the Rams for the spring campaign.

One of the popular misconceptions about the crew team is that they are fanatics who get up at 5 a.m. for practice. "This is simply not true," says Scialcs. "We practice in the afternoon at three o'clock. Only in the last weeks of November when it gets dark so early do we practice in the morning." Upcoming meets include the Metropoli- tan Athletic Championships, to be held at the end of October, and the Frostbite Regala, to be held November 22 in Philadelphia.

Cats Claw Rams, 52-14 By Chris Coyne The Fordham football Rams traveled to the City of Brotherly Love last Saturday but were treated like house servants, losing to Villanova 52-14 in their worst performance of the season. Despite trailing Villanova in time of possession by only two minutes, the Ram were unorganized and unprepared for the Wildcats, who dominated every aspect of the game. "They're a good football team," said Fordham coacli Larry Glucck, who returned to the Philadelphia university as a former Wildcat player. "1 had hoped the game would be somewhat closer." One of the few highlights for Fordham on the afternoon was provided by Chip Kron, who passed the 3,000 yard career rushing mark with a 22 carry, 102 yard performance. After receiving the opening kickoff, the Rams ran three plays punted the ball, a typical series for Fordham last weekend. After John Kennedy, who had his worst day of the season with a 25 yard average, punted the ball, Villanova started on their own 40 yard line and quickly implemented their multiple offense. It took only nine plays before Gary "They're a good foot- Pascoe scored on a two yard run to give 'Nova a 7-0 lead. ball team, I had hoped Four minutes later, Jim Cashman scored the game would be on a seven yard pass from Kirk Schulz. "Jim lined up one on one with the backer and 1 somewhat closer,.." think he's going to beat him 99 percent of the time," Schulz said. Larry Glueck Schulz (14-21 for 201 yards) continued to excel as the game progressed, leading the Wildcats to a 28-0 advantage by scoring the squad's third touchdown and handing off to I rank l> Peter Lombardi for the fourth. Get the ball and score. That's exactly what Villanova did all afternoon. With 2:30 remaining in the half, however, Ricky Hollowell, a native Philadelphian, provided the Rams with their most exciting r-v-v^ play of the contest when he returned a kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown.

By Mike Myllek Fordham's soccer team erased four years of frustration with a tremendous win, in a must win situation, over host LaSalle this past Saturday. According to Coach Frank Sclmiir, LaSalle has "stolen the M.AA.C. title from us four years in a row even though our record against them is one win and three ties." The win is more impressive when you consider LaSalle had just beaten I8th-raiikcd Seton Hall and tied against 8th-iankcd Philadelphia Textile. Fordham was also laced with the loss of three starters. Grc^ DAguanno was forced to sit out with an ankle injury, Jim Morris had a death in the family so he returned home, and Gil Aguirre was forced to sit out because of a red card he received in the Hofstra game. Schnur is very positive about the rest ol the season, as Jim Berisha scored the game winner against LaSalle. That was his first g'w of the season and hopefully signals a change»' his fortunes. He had opportunities to score all year but some bad bounces off the posts had continued on page 15
