The following are excerpts from a Ram interview with the Rev. Jesse Jackson on TUesday, March 25. The interview was conducted by Tom DiLenge, executive editor. Also present were Jacqueline Hattar, news editor, and Anne Eastman, Ram reporter.

Even now, the Hondurans are launching an Jesse Jackson Speaks Out investigation to see if it's true, they have no knowledge of it [a Nicaraguan invasion of Honduras claimed by the U.S.]. Ram: Well, that is what the Honduran Government said last night, but they did request $20 million in American military supplies and transport equipment, I believe.

Well, It's that tine of year again. What time, you atay ask? Of course, It's time for the annual week of chaos known as United Student Government elections. But this year, things seem to be different. There a different smell In the air, one that is both sweet and sour.

On the sweet side, the emergence of Radical Alternative was a pleasant one. Not only have these students, some of whom recently participated in civil disobedience on campus, decided to work within the system rather than against it, they have brought into this election campaign many serious moral and social in the form of prejudice and hatred.

THE RAM/Thursday, April 10,1986/15 Eye On Drama by lisa Martin "Variety is the spice of life." This was the underlying theme one recent evening at Manhattan's Theater of the Open Eye, The program being presented through April 8 was "The Open Eye on Directors," which highlighted the diverse creative styles of twelve New York directors. The twelve mini-plays offered were an eclectic selection, ranging from excerpts of Tolkiens The Hobbit and an adaptation of Gilgamesh, to works by more The characters in Spurts—three males and a female—are members of the Lizard Gang. contemporary playwrights such as Patricia Ryan and Liz Sedlack. The Theater presented the twelve works in four segments (named Programs A-D) of three plays each, Program A included three works, each approximately one half hour in length. Equals, written by Patricia Ryan and directed by John Genke, is a thought-provoking vignette set in present-day New York City. It explores the curious, almost desperate, interaction between two strangers sharing a park bench on their lunch break. She, a middle-class office worker with a high opinion of herself and he, a taciturn, working-class window washer, are thrown together by fate one afternoon, and she Roy Owsley and Matt Nichols look on as Paula Friedland and Paul Lemos make a connection. attempts to make small talk with him. Failing at first, the unnamed woman launches into an endless, sometimes humorous soliloquy. She makes excellent points about isolation and loneliness in the big city, and the play presents a generally interesting social commentary on the psychological borders between people. But the And the Verdict Is...Fun woman's droning became tedious after a while, and the female character had a whiny voice and a self-righteous manner that made her unbearable by Nick Katsoris and subsequently obscured the play's message.

How does Lassard expect to prove to a $199OF\OURFAmERSM(MY panel of judges that his is the better academy? Gee, why not bring back all those crazy, off-the- wall cops who not only graduated from last year's class but who also helped rake in over $200 million for the first two Academy flicks. So, loveable Mahoney (Steve Gutenberg), overly violent Tackleberry (David Graf), and the monsterous Hightower (Bubba Smith) come back to the academy to help teach the basics to the new recruits. Sure there are some biief moments of humor, but they are so predictable

From there on in, the movie is basically just like the two other Academy films which play up the laughable characteristics of police training. Using the same kind of "sthick" of driving cars through walls, and Bubba Smith breaking huge objects in half, the film becomes real boring, real fast. Sure there are some brief moments of humor, but they are so predictable you could probably set a watch to them. The human sound machine, Michael Winslow, is once again as enjoyable as ever with his closet full of voices and sound effects which range from a human periscope to the sound of a man vomiting. Not the most interesting of sounds, but we can't be picky with a film of this caliber.

Other wasted performances include former Saturday Night Live regular Tim Kazurinski as a small old man inducted into the academy and Bobcat Goldthwait (yes that's really his name) as an ex-bike turned good guy.

Last season after 13 games the Fordham version of the Bronx Bombers looked more like the Bronx Blunders with a 5- 8 mark which eventually turned into a dis- appointing 15-23-1 season's record. After 13 games this spring, fordham's boys of summer have an 8-5 record, and all indications point to a successful season. Pete Harnisch is looking like the Pete Harnisch who led the NCAA with a 1.25 ERA last year, as the sophomore hurler is 40 with a 2.07 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 26 innings of play. Speedy Jack Allen has stolen 10 bases in 10 at- tempts. Brian Matthews has 10 RBl's and two home runs while hitting at a .282 clip. Rob McLaughlin is hitting an even .300, has walked nine times and has fanned on only three occasions.
