WEDEMAND OURRIGHTS

''The natural rights of mankind are indeed sacred things; and if any public measure is proved mischievously to affect them, the obiection to that measure ought to be fatal." Edmund Burke

Prelate Breaks Ground; Sun Shines On Ceremony

With these words in mind we propose to state the reasons for our just objection to the "King of Prussia Spur" which is scheduled to be constructed on a portion of the campus of Cabrini College. It is, first of all, wasteful and unreasonable to contemplate destruction of the resources which Cabrini represents. All the time, effort and expense which has been spent to develop the college will have been wasted if the present highway proposal is enacted. And any expansion which the college might plan in the future will be eff ectively cramped - not only because of the very real limitation which the surrounding highway would impose on the educational function of the college, but because the expense and the scarcity of available land would preclude the possibility of physical expansion. Thus, the limited good which the "spur" would accomplish is disproportionate to the harm it would cause. This highway would not merely stop-gap a present source of educational and cultural resources, it would destroy potential resources for years to

As a hesitant sun broke through the overcast sky, a shovelful of dirt marked another advancement in the work of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart on Founders' Day, Friday, November 13. At 11 :00 A.M., after attendance at a solemn high Mass, in honor of St. Francis Cabrini, celebrated by Monsignor J. John Busco and sung by the Cabrini choir, the faculty and student body marched in procession to the site of the proposed building directly opposite Sacred Heart Hall for the ceremony. Father Martin Nolan, Master of Ceremonies, introduced the Reverend O'Donnell, pastor of St. Catherine of Sienna Church in Wayne, who gave the invocation.

Rt. Rev. Monsignor Philip Donahu&, auisted by Fr. Groppi, blesses the ground on which the new library is to be erected.

SGA Sends Out Invitation; Area Colleges Respo·nsive "There is a tremendous need among Philadelphia colleges and universities for increased communication and cooperation." "National student organizations have lofty aims, but their broad scope has not proven practical in solving regional collegiate problems." Such statements typify the sentiments of student government leaders as expressed at a discussion hosted by Cabrini's Student Government Association on Sun- eral colleges and universities.

come. And it must be admitted that the continuation of the education of young women as future teachers, career women, and family leaders of the community is more important than saving an incidental ten minutes of travel-time to motorists. Moreover, in order to emphasize the lack of necessity for this waste we must point out that the project in question is not an "either . . .or" solution. Feasibility studies of the State Highway Department indicate that other routes are under consideration; among them, a parallel-Expressway route which would cost approximately the same as the route through Cabrini and cause considerably less disruption of private property. As a productive member of society, Cabrini College has a right to justice and to retention of the fruits of her industry. We could not conscientiously deprive another of these natural and lawful rights. It would be unreasonable and unjust to deprive us of these same rights.
