Where's The Beef?

It may soon be near Rose Hill. A new Wendy's Restaurant will be built on the site of the former Howard Johnson's on Southern Boulevard, said Urban Affairs Assistant Brian Byrne. Wendy's Corporation has acquired the site but refused comment on their future plans. Jerry Butter, director of human resources and training at Integrated Food Systems, Inc., said the land for the new restaurant has been rented and the site is now being evaluated. Butler refused to comment on when construction will begin and whether there is a prospective opening date for the new restaurant. He also refused to estimate land and produc- tion costs.

The Office for Residential Life has found a replacement for former : Walsh Hall Resident Director Tim Barr who left his position at the end of last semester to assume a position with the Fordham Alumni Association at Lincoln Center. Bill Deichler, formerly Resident Director of Hughes Hall, replaces Barr. Newcomer Richard Welch, a 1983 graduate of Brandeis University, is the RD of Hughes Hall. "We felt that because of the events last semester in Walsh Hall that it would not be fair to place a new person there," said Winifred Wegmann Assisitant Dean for Residential Life. Deichler had to switch from a freshman dorm of 160 people to an upperclass atmosphere of over 500 people. Richard Welch received a Bachelor's degree in political science from Brandeis. His previous job was working as a dorm parent in a predominantly female boarding school for the Performing Arts, in Natick, Mass. "So far I really like it here at Fordham. I think Fordham is a fine in- stitution," said Welch, "1 expect to be here for awhile.
