Well, ifyou're reading this thenI feel sorry for you because itmeans you are back here atBaruch College,a senior collegein the most corrupt universitysystem in the United States.

This section represents myopinions and does not reflect theopinions of this newspaper. Thissection represents truth as itshould be, not as those who arePolitically Correct deem it to be.If you don't agree with what isstated in this section, I don'twant to hear about it becausewhat I state, no normal personshould debate. .

2. Duririg graduation, speecheswere given by various membersof the administration, both fromthe college and from CUNY Cen-

tral. I never heard so much trashin my life. "Here you are, gradu­ating with a degree from BaruchCollege...." I don't know if thatis suppose to impress anyone.Whatever Baruch College is, it isstill a member of CUNY whichmeans a degree from NYU or Co­lumbia, or even SUNY Albany isworth more than a Baruch Col­lege Diploma. "Well, we gradu­ate more CEO's than anyoneelse." That's not a whole fact.Examine where these futureCEO's go for graduate study.Most likely it isn't Baruch Col­lege.

3. Did you notice all the Ameri­can flags being waved on thefourth of July. Did you know90% of those flags are made inCommunist China. G-d blessAmerica.

5. If Baruch College is such agreat Business School, whydoesn't it take it's own teachingsand apply it towards its own poli-

cies. For example, the long linesat the Bursar and the Registrar,and the disorganization fromCurricular Guidance, and themis-information coming from ev­erywhere throughout all depart­ments, should not exist. IfBaruch was a business, it wouldhave gone under years ago.

6. If you haven't yet seen"Men In Black," go see it. Itis a well written, funny movie.The ending was a little bit dis­appointing for me, but a goodmovie overall.

8. I did have a number 8 buta friend of mine on the 15th

floor here' requested I not in­clude it in this issue. I respectthis person eriough to honorher wishes therefore I will for­get about number 8 here:-)

9. Ted Turner wants a na­tional referendum to elimi­nate the "star-spangled Ban­ner" as our national anthem.He wants to replace it withsomething less "war-like"such as "G-d bless America".If this doesn't scream Politi­cally Correct, I don't knowwhat does. I believe it is "timefor Mr. Turner to go back un­der the colorized rock hecrawled out from.

1 O. I also viewed the newmovie "Contact". It is a supe­rior movie tha t is fun towatch. The acting is some ofthe best I have seen in a longtime. Also, its special effectsdon't take away from themovie. "Contact" also forcesyou to think about the linebetween Science and Religion.While it is a bit long at 2.5hours, it is well worth themoney.

Well, that's it .fo:r_J4is .issuemy fellow students. Untilnext time, my name is IraHersch and I am TheWatcher.

nesses continue their ties withHong Kong now that Commu­nist China is playing "bigbrother"?

Nevertheless, Hong Kongshould continue at its frenziedpace for one simple reason- thatis the only way they know. HongKong has been through enoughadversity that stepping into anunknown future should not be amajor setback. You can be sureof some things in Hong Kong,being shoved as you make yourway down the busy streets ofMong Kok, not getting a seatwherever you go, the tastiestfood, from dim sum to wontonnoodles, and people wellequipped and ready to handleanything that may lie ahead.Like the bamboo scaffolding thatis so ever present in Hong Kongconstruction sites throughout,it might look fragile and apt tocollapse; Hong Kong is actuallyquite strong and able to with­stand the strongest oftyphoons­even the unfathomable daysahead.

less critical than in the past. Evenin the 1997 MissHongKongPageant,where the format has usually beenmore Western, there was a segmentthat featured the participants on theGreat Wall of China in traditionalgarbandmusic. ThePeople'sRepublicChinapromised"onecountry, two sys­tems" and no change for 50 years, butthere is clearly a fine line. Manyskeptics already have doubts.

With the joining of Hong Kongback to the mainland, there willbe more Chinese from the main­land immigrating to Hong Kong.Many fear jobs being taken away"from locals. With an alreadyhigh demand for adequate hous­ing- will the situation look evengrimmer? Will foreign busi-

Land­ing at Kai Tak Airport is always anadventure for passengers and es­pecially for the steel-nerved pilotsthat are qualified to descend intoone of the smallest, yet busiest air­ports in the world. The plane has tofly low, but not too low orrisk smash­inginto the residential housingthatsurrounds the Kai Tak, and if itoverruns the runway it will land inVictoria Harbor.

Now with the hand-over a meredate in history, will Hong Kongremain the same? Some pessi-.mists think it will take a turn forthe worse as evidenced by the greatnumbers that decided to pack andhead for other global locales. Oth­ers have thought otherwise andrefuse to be scared off by China,Hong Kong's rightful owner.

Lots of questions still remain.Already there seems to be smallchanges stemming from the newregime. Free and open electionsfor Legislative Council, which isnow known as Provisional Legisla­tive Council, is being delayed asdemonstrations, marches, and pro­tests from pro-democracy groupsare becoming more and more fre­quent.

Rupert Murdoch started in thenewspaper business in 1952when he inherited 2 Adelaide,Australia, newspapers from hisfather. After launching the "Aus­tralian," the country's first na­tional daily, in 1964, Murdochmoved into the UK market. Hebought "News of the World," aLondon Sunday paper, in 1968and London's "Sun" the next year,boosting circulation with tabloidsensationalism. Murdoch en­tered the US with the 1973 pur­chase of the "San Antonio Ex­press-News." The he brought histabloid touch to the US, creatingthe "Star" the next year and buy­ing the "New York Post" in 1976.Murdoch formed News Corpora­tion in Australia in 1979.

In 1981, Murdoch bought theLondon "Times" and a 40% stakein Collins Publishers, a Londonbook publisher. After buying the"Chicago Suntimes" in 1983 (soldin 1986), Murdoch bought 13 UStravel, hotel, and aviation trademagazines from Ziff-Davis, aswell as film producer 'f.we.ntiethCentury Fox in 1985.: In 1986

stations and launched Fox Broad­casting, the first new US TV net­work since 1948. Not only hasMurdoch bought into cable andnetwork television, but also sat­ellite television, British SkyBroadcasting, bought in 1989,STAR TV, which gave him a foot­hold in the Asian satellite TVmarket in the mid-1990's, and in1995, he (along with several part­ners), added a Latin Americansatellite operation.

In 1996, Murdoch launched theFox News Channel. When regu­lators ordered Time Warner,which owns CNN and controls theNew York cable market, to add acompeting news channel to itsNew York service, Time Warnerchose MSNBC. This move exac­erbated Murdoch and CNN'sfounder, Ted Turner, who com­pared Murdoch to Adolf Hitler.

Since 1991, Murdoch's NewsCorp. has 'seen sales ,rise from$6.5 billion to well over $10 bil­lion in 1996. Net income has alsorisen in the same time periodfrom losing $211 million in '91 togaining almost $1 billion in '96.

Television is a key part of hisempire, but especially in the US,where 26 percent of News Corp.'sholdings are invested in his tele­vision and cable operations.Maybe ESPN should be scared,along with its parent companyDisney. They may be next onMurdoch's ever growing empiremedia.

What a generous man ourgovernor is. We really mustthank him for not increasingour tuition by $400 for nextyear. One has to ponder why.Well, for one thing, he cameout on the losing end ofanawful rent control fiasco.Also, next year, he begins hiscampaign for another term inoffice, and would like to havemore voters in the city go hisway. Wall Street had a banneryear, and the state has morefunds to play with. Or maybeit's because he just likes CUNYstudents, well, maybe not.

In any case, there is notuition hike, and we shouldthank the Honorable GeorgePataki for his wisdom andgenerosity.
