The Commuter Council feels that commuting students here, at Fordham, are at a disadvantage. Commuting students comprise nearly one-half of the un- dergraduate student population but they do not benefit from a large amount of Adopt A Boarder the university's resources. The Commuter Council has been continually frustrated in its efforts to provide services for commuters. As-a result, many Sometimes it seems like a gap exists between resident students commuters lack a sense of belonging to the Fordham community. and commuting students. We, the Commuter Council are trying to bridge In an effort to combat this problem the Commuter Council has proposed this gap. Two weeks ago we sponsored Commuter on Campus Weekend. the formation of a Commuting Students Association modeled after the Residence Halls Association. The Commuting Students Association (CSA), will In which a commuting student stayed in a resident's room. This week we be comprised of 20 members, five from each class, and a five member executive are sponsoring Adopt A Boarder Weekend, in which a commuting stu- board.

Please send student body.
The above are just a sampling of the programs and services the Commuter Council has planned with the acceptance of the CSA. Suggestions/ One of the steps toward that acceptance is a referendum of commuting students. The Commuter Council needs approximately 1,500 signatures of com- muting students in order to insure the formation of the CSA. We will, in the up- coming weeks, be actively soliciting signatures. It is imperative that every com- muting student sign this petition. Moreover, while it may seem that $10 is a lot ot ID ask for, the advantages provided to commuting students will far outweigh the Comments burden of the expense. The Commuting Council is proposing changes for the good of Fordham's commuting students. We need your support in order to effect these changes. We welcome your reactions to this proposal.

The issue of students' rights, specifically (he right to choose a career, was also debated.

Cicchino added that there are many other ways for students to pursue a career with the CIA, hiit that recruiting at Fordham is inappropriate. t&C- liddy disagreed with Cicchino, citing that in 1985,20 students chose to interview with the CIA, and this was ample reason to allow recruitment on campus. "This is merely a statement," Liddy said of the Pax Christi protest, "and it is wrong to make that statement for the entire University when fellow students want to choose the CIA as a career." After the two speeches, there was an open discussion which was supposed to last for 15 minutes, but continued on for close to 45 minutes. Several speakers attacked Pax Christi and its passive views. Mark Peterson, a member of the group, defended the organization. "I believe in active non-violence," said Peter- son. He refuted the charges that Pax Christi is passive and criticized the CIA. "The organization has consistently opposed democracy in the third world," he said. Many students viewed recruitment with the CIA as an individual right which had been violated by the protesters.
