Tradition aside, the religious aspects of Jews and Catholics are interesting to note. When the Jewish people pray, and as they atone for their sins, they say "We" and "Us," not "I" or "Me." When Jesus (who was a Jew), was crucified, he suffered and died for everyone's sins, not only his and not only the sins of one kind of people. In essence, Jews and (Jatnolics both pray and atone for the sins of people. Jews don't say in their prayers. "Bless all Jews," and Catholics don't pray to Jesus to "Bless all. Catholics." The point is that religion is not a predominant factor in the Fordham community. "One of the things that I appreciate at Fordham is that I have never been aware of religion ... yes, it is a Jesuit institution, but... I have never felt it - aside from seeing a priest occassionally --1 have never felt it as a presence in the classroom," said Granville. Most people would agree that it makes no dif- ference what religion a person observes, as long as there's mutual respect and as long as we live harmoniously In the Fordham community.

The Harmonic Personal Experience Convergence

By Deanna Hayman

It seems that every time I try to talk about the Harmonic Convergence, I am responded to with either negativity, or worse yet, laughter. This may not seem a serious matter to some, but I feel it's something to worry about because it shows a general lack of interest in spirituality, in faith, and even worse, in change. The Harmonic Convergence, which was targeted by ancient Hopi, Aztec, and Mayan tribes to occur on August 17th of this year, was supposed to mark a reversal in history, an end of time and a new beginning. According to ancient legend, a new age would dawn in which a global shift in consciousness would occur. And while many, most, people were casually shaking their heads in non-belief, a lot of other people were gathering at designated power spots throughout, no only the country, but also the world. Mount Shasta in California, one of the spots expected to be overrun, had 600 people camping out in its mountains and forests two days prior to the con- vergence. Around the world, other power spots included Ireland's Hill of Tara, Israel and Jordan's Dead Sea, and Egypt's Great Pyramid. Now, some people's attitudes following the convergence pro- ved one thing. A global shift in consciousness definitely did no; occur. But it also suggested another thing that to me seems very sad and unfortunate. People today are so busy competing and trying to get ahead that the mention of anything spiritual makes them laugh. They dismiss it with a wave of a hand. But maybe if those same people who laugh took some time out of their busy lives just to sit down outside somewhere and think about that it would he the Icelins; iluil came from experiencing and hilirating.

The Road To Recovery

ith reports of increased enrollment, more active Wrecruitment programs, and a boost in faculty morale, the ailing College at Lincoln Center appears to be in stable, yet still serious, condition. Things are certainly looking up, but the school's problems are far from over. Fart of CLC's mending process includes putting more emphasis on core curriculum courses. As the number of freshmen increase, so too will the demand for core classes. v^^ An unfortunate side effect will be a lack of non-core courses for current sophomores, juniors, and seniors. CLC students already have enough trouble finding courses to complete then* majors that also fit into their busy schedules. CLC's faculty is unique hi that many of its senior members are eager to teach introductory-level courses. This is one of the features that makes the school so attractive to many students. But if the number of core courses is to be expanded, there will fewer professors teaching upper-level courses. Therefore, CLC needs to build up its strength by attracting new faculty members to handle the increasing student body. This problem has been worrying Fordham for some time, and it takes on increasing urgency now that the school is growing. It is vital that the administration starts taking the faculty's needs into account: salary increases, benefit packages, and better office support systems would be good places to start. Dean Tanksley's proposal to increase adjunct salaries is encouraging, but it is the permanent faculty that should be the main concern. The splints have been set, medication has been prescribed, and treatment has begun. But for now, what's really needed at CLC is T.L.C. Get well soon.

By Andrew David Creel Now that John McEnroe is out of the U.S. Open (after losing to Ivan Lendl in straight sets) and possibly out of tennis for two months, it is time for the tennis officials to review the new tennis rules. The old rules called for a two week suspen- sion for McEnroe's accumulation of fines, but the new rules of a two month suspension is ridiculous. ' In baseball, basketball or any other sport, you get thrown out of the game for cussing excessively at an umpire and also fined. If McEnroe were only warned once and then defaulted from the tournament, it would have much more of a lasting impact on him. A default is an immediate thing that cannot be changed. The umpire would simp- ly say to McEnroe, "If you yell at me again, you'll lose the match." McEnroe could continue to yell at the umpire, but suddenly, as in other sports when a coach is thrown out of a game, security guards would appear to escort McEnroe from the court. Simple.

Tennis is just hurting itself by suspending McEnroe. People pay to see McEnroe (whether he throws a fit or not) because he has tennis talent and amazing touch, to go along with his per- sonality. The rest of the players on the tour are big guys who just try to overpower you with their JOHN MCENROE big serves and powerful forehands. If you are wat- ching a match other than one involving John, you begin to wonder when these guys will rush the net. If only typewriters let you proofread your When John yells at himself or pumps his fist in the air , you can feel the emotion, where as, other players doing the same thing seem to be work before they printed it on the page. faking it. They are like a bad actor who wants so much for the audience to like him. John doesn't care if you like him or not (typical New Yorker)! This is what makes him so human on the court, What a mess!
