Tuition: By The Students And For The Students

he administration has made it clear: next year's tuition hike to T$154 a credit for Lincoln Center undergrads will not only keep pace with inflation, but actually improve the quality of education at Fordham. But in what form will these inprovements take shape? Lincoln Center students have the right to know. While we applaud expanding the university's computer system, and the fining of "frozen" faculty slots we question if there are other areas where this surplus could be put to an equal or even greater good. Surely giving Fordham adjuncts a salary raise must be considered. While Fordham has been raising its tuition steadily over the years it has not raised adjunct pay- scales since 1980. For this college to pay its adjuncts the inflation adjusted equivalent of 20 percent less than it did three years ago, bespeaks a will- ingness to hire the less qualified or the dissatisfied to teach us, surely distur- bing to those paying an increased cost of education. Another problem that could be solved with a little of the tuition increase "surplus" is satisfying the demonstrated need for a daycare center on cam- pus. The university has dragged its feet in this area for years. While slick- ly encouraging the older, returning students, to consider Fordham, its no- daycare policy sends the subtle message-"no parents need apply." Since Fordham has always cited money as a main impediment to such a pro- gram let it do so now or admit its real objections. Cost cutting measures, such as the university's goal to bring the average CLC class up to twenty-five students, should be relaxed. An "average" of 25 means that some classes could go as high as 30-35, while others remain at 12 or 14.

And in a way, he is. In fact, every pope from Sylvester I (314-335 AD) to John Paul II will have a part of himself and his life in the Vatican on display in the show, which opens on Sunday, February 26. It is the first time the proud and pro- tective Vatican caretakers have allowed a major display of their paintings, gold, sculptures and tapestries to travel outside Italy. In all, 237 works of art —including some masterpieces specially and paintstakingly restored for this exhibition-make up "The Vatican Col- lections: The Papacy and Art." The exhibition, which cost a record-breaking $8 million to mount, will travel from New York to Chicago to San Fran- cisco during its 14-month American pilgrimage. The Vatican show, which will run until June 12 here, features art valued at $50 million and more than four times as many pieces as the famous "King Tut" exhibition. Rouault's The Holy Face (1946). Although the official opening is three weeks away, thousands of museum patrons already have streamed under the crimson-and-gold awning off 5th Avenue and 82nd Street in the Upper East Side and attended previews of the historic exhibition.

By Barry Walters

Lanford Wilson's Angels Fall is about a group of people trapped within a church in New Mexico due to a nuclear accident, anxiously waiting to leave. I felt much the same way about the play. Having never seen Tally's Folly or Fifth of Ju- ly, but having heard much about Landford Wilson's genius, I had sat through most of the play waiting for some effect, something to make me feel. Like radiation poisoning, the results of Wilson's script are long in coming. But unlike cancer, the outcome seems trivial, almost ethereal and as intangible as radioactivity itself. Barnard Hughes plays Father Doherty, priest of the church, where art professor Niles (Fritz Weaver) and his wife Vita (Nancy Snyder) stop to get out of the sun and use the phone, (on their way to Niles' sanitarium) when the roads suddenly close because a truck carrying cans of uranium cracks up. Also trapped at the church are Marion (Tanya Berezin) recently widowed, and her lover Zappy (Brian Tarantia) whose career she manages. At the church they are met by a hostile native grump, Don (Danton Stone) a young Navajo studying to be a doctor. Any real dramatic conflict exists between Don - who wishes to take a research position at a West Coast University—and Father Doherty, who has raised Don to stay "with his people" on the the impression that tension must be mounting, fectively resolved. Through all this, Wilson least perfunctory, directed by Marshall Mason. reservation as their only doctor.

The group is comprised of a quartet of Ford- ham students and graduates—lead guitar and vocalist Robert Kaufmann, lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Mark Coughlin, bassist Chris Layer and drummer Will Power. In 1980 Kauf- mann and Coughlin started off in a group called The Catch which played frequently in dorm lounges at Rose Hill. After having their equip- ment stolen The Catch quickly disbanded leav- ing both present Watts members without a group. After meeting up with Power and Layer a new group was formed which played around for some time—nameless. Under the pressure of an impending interview with an Uptown news- paper, Kaufmann dubbed the quartet The Wats. They have officially been together for approx- imately one year. Each member of The Watts, with his own distinctive musical taste, comes together to give the band a diverse sound and unique quality. Coughlin follows the styles of rhythm guitarists such as Keith Richards and Steve Cropper (southern guitarist who during the sixties helped on countless hits such as Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour"), Layer prefers The Dregs, Kaufmann. The Talking Heads and Power "records with interesting drumming on them" (anything from Thelonious Monk through the Clash.) While The Watts combine their musical tastes to concoct a format of danceable rock, they do not skimp on lyrics which keeps them from be- ing written off as "just another dance band." Their songs are laced with the experiences and impressions of Kaufmann (the group's primary lyricist) who writes about what he feels, "people can deal with" such as boy/girl relationships in "Wrapped in Cellophane," a song about how seemingly unattainable girls are today. Kauf- mann explains-"I used to polish up my shoes and think of clever words to use... but girls ' come wrapped in cellophane now.. .cut accor- ding to design/fashioned on assembly lines."
