But nobody's eyebrows are arched higher than ours because we recently learned that the type of "service" is considered illegal in this country. We confess ignorance of the illegality of this alleged service, particularly because we've so often seen posters for these types of "services" around campus, and in classrooms. Our advertising policy at The Ram has been and will continue to be (unless otherwise suggested by The Ram Board of Advisors) to accept and run all ads except those which by law are deemed illegal. Simply because an ad appears in print in this publication by no means implies that we condone or support whatever "cause" is sponsoring the ad. This couldn't be truer than in this instance. The brazenness of these companies which have continued to ad- vertise illegal term paper services duped us into thinking that type of "service" was only distasteful—not illegal. We apologize to our readers for this error. For Whom The Bell Tolls

The sight of pajama-clad New Hall residents scurryir.D out of their rooms in the wee hours of the morning must be pretty amusing to whoever is responsible for setting four false alarms in the past two weeks. Not only is the prank annoying to residents, but it is also an extreme fire hazard, as well. If students become accustomed to false alarms, they will undoubtedly hesitate before evacuating the building in the future. If an actual fire occurred, the results could obviously be fatal. Another apparent problem is that many residents have said that they are unable to hear the alarms. Although Assistant Director of Residential Life for Physical Plant Charles McNiff believes the fire alarms are loud enough, some residents claim that they have slept through them. If this is true, a louder bell should be installed so that everyone will be able to hear it, because if people sleep through them, they're obviously not loud enough. navemenVnovm ¥ordhamand £^d»y«I We also suggest that residents read the Fire Safety Handbooks distributed in the beginning of the semester while they can. It's doubtful that you'll have time to check it as a reference in the event of afire. The importance of fire safety is too often neglected at Fordham. When you hear a fire alarm, leave the building immediately. If it's a false alarm, you'll be losing some time. But if it's a fire and you ignore it, you could lose a lot more than that.

That is exactly the appeal which Fordham is convin- ced is its own, and that is the draw card upon which the fund is based. Anyone who has a product to sell must do so in a buyer's market. And with the convic- tion that such a market exists, Fordham has embarked upon its campaign fund. The market for Fordham is one in which the buyer will know exactly what he or she is buying, because Fordham, unlike most large educational institutions today, chooses to spell out clearly and explicitly those values for which it stands. The University is confident that it has something in his piece, 'Thoughts on Progress," (The Ram, with questions of liberty, of value, of purpose, has distinctive, and with good reason.
