You're Ifs/ HY t the request of Fr. Steven P. Ryan, S.J., former assistant director of Campus Ministry, A and Fr. John Lo Schiavo, University President, we take pen in hand to amend a previous staff editorial of September 13, 1985. Amend the incorrect impression that Fr. Ryan in itiated a billboard advertisement which featured him modeling the clothes of a men's clothing store. Ac cording to University statements, the advertising agency handling the store's account contacted Michael C. Brown, then as now Director of Public Affairs and Alumni Relations, in March, 1985. with the idea ofa USF priest posing for the ad, one in a series of promo tions the store was running at the time. Brown approached Fr. Ryan, who indicated that he would participate, but only after both President Lo Schiavo and former Jesuit Community Rector Fr. Paul Bernardicou. S.J.. had approved. Brown recommended approval, stating "that the image ofa young, attractive Jesuit priest from USF looking out from 17 billboards around the city would be a lighthearted attempt at public relations. The President and Rector concurred." Amend the statement that Fr. Ryan "debased the Bible for publicity and/or monetary consideration." as asserted in the original editorial. Fr. Ryan received $225 as payment for his services, of which almost all was turned over to the Jesuit Community: and the Foghorn accepts in good faith that concern for self-publicity was the furthest thing from Fr. Ryan's mind. Amend the sour impression of personal attack in the editorial that has offended many, including Fr. Ryan.
