According to pre-med advisor Rev. Daniel O'Brien, S.J., Harvard Medical school emergency money. receives approximately 4,187 applications annually of which it admits approximately 166. Last year, only 28 students from New York State were accepted into the medical school O'Brien said. Another medical school which has recently accepted an unusually high number of Ford- ham students is the University of Te\as Medical School at Houston. According lo O'Brien approximately 19 out-of-state students are admitted yearly at the Universiiy of Texas. Last year the Universiiy accepted only two students from New York state while this year the University has admitted four Fordham undergraduates. "These are obviously outstanding students who have benefit ted from a good pre-med program here at Fordham," O'Brien sup- plied as the reason for the high rate of accep- tance into these top schools by Fordham student!). Dan Rosa, FC '80, one of the students selected into Harvard Medical School delayed admission for a year, choosing in- stead to remain with Rose Hill's chemistry department as a graduate assistant. Rosa also worked with the HEOP program as a coun- selor and tutor. Also accepted to Harvard were Silvio In- zucchi and Fred Orlando, both to graduate this year from Rose Hill. Inzucchi, a biology major and program director at WFUV-FM, Fordham's radio station, had much to say in support of his studies at Fordharru "Four years of undergraduate work at Fordham have prepared me quite well for medical school. 1 feel that the heavy emphasis placed on the humanities offers a student an An emergency stop for repairs can VIS At card.

Aiello, a member of the Fordham faculty for the past 15 years, kept his full teaching load as chairperson. He said next year he will have "more time for research." He has been authorized to go outside the University to find a replacement. He said this method is "not too unusual when you are trying to build the department." Four new faculty members and a botanist were hired this year. The communications department is also looking for its new chairperson outside its own members to replace Rev. Ralph W. Dengler, S.J., who served as chairperson for six years. According to Dengler, the graduate program has grown since he began as chairperson. More faculty and a television production course have been added. Dengler, who has taught at Fordham since 1971,1 will take next year off from Fordham on a University fellowship. The self-described "oldest living inhabi- tant" of the English department, current chairperson Dr. Andrew Myers, is taking next year off on a faculty fellowship to com- plete a biography of American author Wash- ington Irving. The work is part of his job as consultant to Sleepy Hollow Restoration in Westchester, which is planning a year-long commemoration of the 2OOth anniversary of Irving's birth in 1983. Myers, who came to Fordham in 1946, has been chairperson since 1978. He said none of the changes made during that time were "done single-handedly. 1 have wonderful assistants." According to Myers, department members have been "phasing out the old and phasing in the new and updating offerings for English majors" for Fordham College. On the graduate level, state educators evaluated and approved the masters program. Department members have not met to nominate a new chairperson. Rev. Robert O'Connell, S.J., will succeed Rev. Gerald A. McCool, S.J., as chairperson of the philosophy department. McCool will return to full-time teaching after having served as chairperson for four and a half years.

This year, for the first time, the Administration, is giving students the opportunity to make i suggestions to the Administration about how budget money should be spent. The amount in question, $500,000, comes from a special two percent increase above the inflation rate in this year's tuition hike. The money from this additional increase was "targeted primarily for student services," according to Executive Assistant to the President Conrad Rutkowski, and as a result students have been brought into the process of deciding how to spend this money. Always willing to get our two cents in, we have decided to join the various other students and organizations which have been making suggestions to the Administrative Council on how the budget money should be spent. U.S. Meddling On the top of our list is housing. As we see it there are two problems here. First, the lack of it and second the condition of existing dorms.

Still Protest

To the Editor: I disagree with the statement in Bill Gyves' March 5 column that last month's t| hike protest was "essentially misguided." We who protested were not so ignoranl believe that Fordham University could continue to operate as a major education3 institution in the '80s with a static tuition income. To protest this would be, as to suggests, "to invite defeat and embarrassment." However, the main assertion of last week's Ram editorial for "dissolving ihc corporate perspective of the Board by creating means for dialogue with stiiticnts^ echoes the central objection voiced by one demonstrator as reported by Thel"" 12), "A tuition hike by royal decree of the Board of Trustees, however disconcerting when there is little if no explanation or input from students."
