A hundred years puter application fairly earl The practice of crossing the Metro North tracks on the west side of the Rose Hill campus is a dangerous and foolish habit. Last week, The Ram reported the concern of local police and campus administrators regarding this problem. Students coming home from bars or elsewhere take the shortcut over the tracks to get on campus. Security Director Thomas Courtney said it best: he called the ac- tion "foolhardy" and staled that students are "taking their lives into (heir own hands" when they cross the tracks. At least one reason mentioned for taking the shortcut is, obviously, the saving of time. Other reasons have not been clearly identified. It might give some people a much needed "thrill," or students might be lazy, or maybe they are unaware of the dangers. Whatever the Letters reasons, the risks of this action clearly outweigh any benefits. On the very (racks some students cross, trains travel up to speeds of 60 mph. Around the area there is poor lighting and poor footing, increasing the chances of falling. The tracks are electrically charged and crossing them is considered criminal trespassing. There is also the to the possibility (hat students are nol in top physical condition when returning from bars. The solution here is to simply stop and think about the dangerous situations posed by an action intended to, among other things, save time. When you add it all up, it is just not worth it.

Fordham's ad, entitled, "Husbandry," boldly proclaimed the view that the University has been careful in managing its resources.

If, after playing the game for a long time, we cannot decide which is the computer, then we must admit that machines can think. That such a "super-duper ELIZA" could, or should, be written is the subject of intense debate. AI proponents tend to believe in a mechanistic univer- se—that all aspects of the universe can be reduced to machine-like computations, implying that thinking is only a type of processing. Two hundred years ago, this would have been an untenable position. However, the theory of evolution explains man's origin, and modern biochemistry seems about to give a complete descrip- tion of his body, from the innards of the cell on up, in mechanistic terms. (My brother is a biochemist, and as I once listened to him describe the interactions of DNA molecules, I was struck by how similar in flavor the subject was to computer science.)

I try to portray her as a woman not too happy with herself. ?••{• She just wanted to be accepted as something she wasn't." Ackerman said Eva's power is shown in the staging, costuming and lyrics, and the whole focus of the play is to show how corruption is born of absolute power. After Eva's death, her political enemies went to great lengths to try to reduce her power. Money was raised to erect a memorial to her memory and to her unwavering devotion to her descamisados ("the shirtless ones"). It would have preserved her body in a glass coffin for all to adore. However, heer body disappeared. Six coffins had been sent out from Buenos Aires to all parts of the world. Seventeen years later, her remains were discovered in Milan, after the only per- son who knew of her whereabouts also died. Her Vast wealth has never been recovered; her brother had his throat slit after trying to retrieve it. Andrew Lloyd Weber, composer, and Tim Rice, lyricist, have managed to chronicle Evita's life in a beautifully moving musical, which originally opened in this country as Light Opera. All but a handful of sentences are sung, which helps the action move along at a rapid pace. The New York version of the play is a much .more political one than the London run, which was more charming but less tough. Every city in the world gets a slightly dif- ferent emotional version of Evita, depending on what Prince thinks suits the locale and the current actors. It has played in areas as diver- se as Guyana, Scandinavia and Japan. After winning seven Tony Awards in 1980, Evita is still running at the Broadway Theatre, on Broadway between 52nd and 53rd Streets. The performances of the main actors, though not as charged as those of the original cast, still make a night at Evita an ex- tremely rewarding, thought-provoking ex- perience.

BECAUSE IT'S SMART! The smart MBA can recognize that selling provides an ideal career start. It puts you on the "firing line" in a competitive marketing environment. It exposes you to the problems and the benefits of your company's product line. It gives you first hand experience with your customer. And it's a fast track into management. Many an MBA has started in sales and ended up in the boardroom. But they were smart. And that means they chose their first employer on the basis of industry potential, industry strength, market share, product quality and management skills. That's why a smart MBA in 1983 will look hard at the Diagnostics Division of Abbott Laboratories. WHY WOULD AN MBA SELL DIAGNOSTICS? BECAUSE IT'S SMART! Diagnostics products enable health care practitioners to diagnose specific illnesses and the effect of therapeutic drugs on those illnesses.

A big part of the reason for that growth relates to the products that Abbott Diagnostics has pioneered in the past five years. WHY WOULD AN MBA SELL FOR ABBOTT? BECAUSE IT'S SMART! When you take on diagnostics, you're entering a^ worldwide market that will grow from $4 billion to $10 billion by 1990. And you'll be entering with the undisputed industry leader.

White Boys Champs by Joe Yanarella • The Average White Boys captured the "B" league Intramural Basketball Championship with a last second rally to defeat the Bomb Squad in overtime 42-41. Leading the Average White Boys were John Wendel with 21 points and JoeStefanik with 10. For the losers, Chris Oden scored 11 and Mike Springer 10. With five minutes remaining in the game, the Bomb Squad held a 31-21 lead. But the Average White Boys cut the lead to one, 37- 36, with 1:13 left. Then, Bill Wendel drew a charge against Chris Oden and sank one foul shot to send the game into overtime. In overtime, the Bomb Squad scored first on a driving layup by Dan McCabe. After a Bill Sickles' free throw, Ken Shea sank two foul shots to up the Bomb Squad lead to three, 41-38. But John Wendel drove the lane and hit a layup with 21 seconds left, cutting the Bomb Squad's lead to one. Bill Sickles stole the ensuing inbounds pass and layed it in to give the Average White Boys a one point lead with 16 seconds left. Dan McCabe missed a foul shot with 10 seconds left and the rebound resulted in a jump ball. The Bomb Squad won the jump and a Mike Enright jumper at the buzzer bounced off the rim to preserve the cham- pionship for the Average White Boys. After the game, an ecstatic Joe Stelanik said, "We never got worried. We're a hap- pening team. We're all seniors, and we know we could come back." He then added, "How 'bout them Average White Boys." The DUTA Machine continued their "cin- derella" march in the "A" league playoffs. Last week they knocked out the number one seeded Cliotnpers (8-1) with a 43-38 vic- tory. On Monday night they sprung another up- set ousting the heavily favored Maxmen, 58- 41. Jerry Nudge led the DUIA Machine with 17 points. Gary Snyder tossed in 14 and Jim Swab added 12. The Maxmen moved into the semifinals by ending the Cinderella season of F-llotise 45- 34. F-House held a five point lead in the second half but was not able to contain the outside shooting of Kevin Clarkin and overall play of Hill Catueci and Kevin Cialvin. I- Ilouse was paced by the league's most prolific scorer, Tom Fergus, who was held lo a mere 18 points before fouling out. The DUTA Machine will play ihe'Saeper^ I'oi the championship.

"I expect a very good season," said Hawthorne. "This is one of my strongest teams jn awhile." Hawthorne's proclamation should be sub- stantiated by fine play from the youthful Rams squad. Fordham played a strong fall schedule and finished with a fine 4-1 record. They also finished second in the MAAC and fourth in the ECAC championships, two pre- season tournaments. "We have improved greatly," said Hawthorne. "We have a very sound team." One of the main reasons for the superior play expected to be provided by Fordham is the talented cast of freshmen. These rookies have strengthened the team and given it balance from players one to nine. This fuel was never more evident than in Fordham's opening 8-0 win over Manhattanville. Five of the six singles players were freshmen. Tim Goley leads this talented core of youngsters and for the season he is solidly en- trenched in the third singles position.
