The al)nual Parents' Weekend, held Novem'ber 6 and 7 was a "social success" with attendance exceeding previous years, according to the Parents' Weekend organizers and participants.

The weekend included a cocktail party on Saturday, November 6 in Sacred Heart Hall, followed by a dinner dance at the Old Cov _ ered Wagon Inn, Strafford.

Musical entertainment for the evening was provided by the Madrigalists under the direction of Dr. Carl Suppa. Their selection was a medley of "Old Favorites" dedicated to the Parents.

ciety was its freedom of thought," said Mr.. Schier. "A playwright like Aristophanes wrote anti-war play were produced today, it would not be received with sympathy and critical judgement."

Why could these plays be received in Greek society and not in our own?

"Becase," said Mr. Schier, "the Greeks were searching for truth.

Discussing further the major Elizabethan playwrights Marlowe Mr'.

Jonson, ·and Shakes ·~are, Schier continued: · "These dramatists did not live in as free a society as that of Athens. For example, women were not allowed to get on the stage.

Nevertheless, the subject of women was not written around. They play major roles in these dramas.

Mr. Schier, drama critic for the Philadelphia Bulletin, chats informally with Mr. Bowers and students after his lecture.

In life and art we cannot isolate sex by sex . Women exist in relation to men just as men exist in relation to women. Yet, today we do not have theater which offers a significant evaluation of womanhood or mankind."

Mr. Schier concluded his discussion with a few references to the modern psychologicia •l piressures which seem to enshroud our present society. He touched on various types of modern drama (Broadway Theater of the Absurd), but did not conclude that any of these might be considered great art. He also questioned the _c·ause that is holding back our modern artist from manifesting himself in various forms of art.

Mr. Schier concluded his discussion with the followin .g remark: "We must have the climate ,before we can have the art; if we don't have the art, there must be something wrong with the climate."

Following the lecture, Mr. Schier held an open floor question and answer period. The questions from the floor were poignant and incisive, and showed a keen interest on the part of the students.

"This is the first collegiate type activity I've seen here in four years," said Mr. Annunziato, departmental English teacher.

"The students were spontaneous and very interested. In the future, I think the school should sponsor these lectures more frequently."

Not An Echo, But A Choice

by CLAIRE CASSIDY The political climate in the United States ha s •become increasingly liberal throughout the twen_ tieth century, probably in reaction to the policy of non-intervention that existed in the nineteenth century . History is a cyclical process, just as increased government control of industry and concern for public welfare is in reaction to the laissez-faire mentality of the nineteenth century, so too is Conservatism a reaction to the o,f the twenLiberal movement tieth.

American politics is based on a two-party system . Whenever one party has gotten out of step with the needs and desires of the electorate, another has formed to fill the vacuum. This happened in 1860 when Abraham Lincoln won the election as the Republican presidential candidate, and again in 1964 when Barry Goldwater ran in the presidential election on a Conservative platform.

The tremendous growth of Conservatism in the United States in recent years is an indication of the fear of many Americans that the trend toward s bigger and >better government has come too quickly and gone too far. Within a period of sixty years, the power of the government has grown tremendously, like a snowball rolling down hill. The trend towards centralization has gathered momentum with each new Democratic administration until it is so strong that anyone who does not conform is labeled self-interested, anti-social, etc. The difference between the Republican and Democratic parties has narrowed over the yea .rs. The differepce is now so slight that there is very little choice left fo r the voter .

The Conservative philosophy offers the voter that choice which the two major parties no longer can. In an age of increasing automation and anonymity, Conserva_ tism offers a belief in the individual and in the individuals rights to life, lLberty , and the pursuit of happiness . America wa s founded 1by individuals seeking to live the way they chose without government interference.

The pioneers were, of necessity fiercely individualistic; and millions of immigrants came to Amerk,a •because they knew that this was a land of unlimited opportunity for those

"Well . . . it looks lived in!"

Are We Ugly Americans?

"What has the United States ever done for anybody?"

These words probably represent the typical European .attitude when his conversation turns to one of his most discussed topics-the Yankees.

In defending the United State's position American a:guments dealing w_ith the generous United sta'.te'i;i foreign 3:1dand our unquestionable role in their present prosperity silence Europeans, but do not convince them. The Atlantic Alliance is no longer a uniting force; it has been weakened by a basic distrust of the United States and gross misunderstandings on both sides .

It is no longer a question of whether or not the European likes the American, but rather, is he capable of handling the responsibilities that go along with the United State's position of power? American generosity and good intentions will always remain separate from efficiency in the game of power politics . The United States is the heartbeat of the free world, and all have their eye upon her .. ____l]rifor_tunately, our foreign image is a poor one-we appear to be a people soft with luxury, over concerned with sex, and troubled with crime and race tension. If the picture we would prefer to project, and the portrayal which is projected through media such as television seems inconsistent, our foreign policies appear even more hazy. Our voiced reaction to Communism sounds strong in relation to the diluted action whkh we take. Supposedly, we bestow on enemy power and friends l;l,like; consequently, the European is confused and untrusting of the power that holds his future.

The United States has made the Atlantic Alliance a partnership in which Europe is considered a second rate member. The results have been a flow of criticism that stems more from a European inferiority complex than anything else. Rising prosperity on the continent is helping to alleviate this complex; yet, will an understanding >between the old and new world ever ,be reached?

In the present situation unity is necessary to meet the Commuis vital! If, however, both Europe and the nist block; understanding United States are to come to terms, comprehension of corresponding positions is vital. The United States will have to consider Europe more as an equal and trustworthy power and not just a poor neighbor .

Study Contradicts Theory Free Enterprise Lost

INTERNATIONALISM DEVEWPS The twentieth century, however, with its two world wars, brought a shift in foreign policy.

The shift was from isolationism - or so it to internationalism should have ,been .

McKinley stated in 1901: "The period of exclusiveness is past.

Isolation is no longer possi 1ble or desirable." Yet, when World War I was over Wilson, as a nationaltried ist and ar{ internationalist, to combine these two incompati> ble ideals: he attempted to protect his New Freedom in order to defend individualism at home; and he tried to champion the League of Nations in order to assure freedom for the world at large . The result was catastrophic. rro Americans at this time, the situation was precise . World War I was over .. We did not want any more wars. The solution - simple avoid further European en-

tanglements, and begin by rejecting the League of Nations.

FEAR OF WAR This cancerous fear of war which caused Americans to reject the League of Nations , also caused England and France to aL low Hitler to [nvade the Rhineland, and later, confiscate all of Europe.

By 1941 Ameriic ·ans were once again entangled in European affairs .

COMMUNIST INFILTRATION Today, Communist invasion of southeast Asia stands in direct parallel to Hitler's invasion of the Rhineland.

Hitler had instructed his troops to withdraw from the Rhineland if me.t with If not opposed, they opposition. were instructed to surge ahead in their invasion. South Vietnam stands as a direct test for the communist invasion of Asia.. Success here will inevitably broaden their invasions to Thailand,

History Forces Responsibility Abroad It seems that American foreign policy is not clear to Europeans.

It has recently appeared in German and French newspapers that America is retreating to the isoOf the twenties "a lationism peace with all nations, entangling alliances with none", approach to the world.

With these accusations, perhaps Americans could stop to ask themselves if the Europeans are correct. Do we really want to be involved in the Vietnam war, or any other communist War of National Liberation?

Can we afford to be isolationists in the sixties?

ISOLATION NECESSARY There was a time in our political history when America could not have aided Europe or any other nation in a struggle for peace when our nation was young, our population small, and our resources undeveloped.

Isolationism was rooted in our geography; it was then a legitimate protection of a new venture,

These are the people to whom Conservatism appeals. They are not reactionaries or crackpots; they are simply self-interested, and if that is a crime against society then Conservatism stands accused.

who had the courage to try .

No one expects the United States to remain static; the development of a nation is de t ermined by those who lead her. The leaders of America today belive in "The Great Society"-the vast, well-organized welfare state. For those who need public assistance, America is fast becoming a land of unlimited opportunity; but what of the selfsufficient portion Of American society who pay for welfare?

It is this group that is finding out that it is too expensive to get a raise or make a good investment , afford to because they cannot

INVOLVEMENT NECESSARY American in terest has always lain first with protecting her own interest - such as the case should be . Today, this is p-0ssi..'ble only by strengthening the free world.

We directly involved ourselves in Vietnam in 1954 when Eisenhower pledged American assistance to this country, It is too late now to back out of our commitment.

Nevertheless, interest in this country can broade~ from a mere political one to a more personal and individual one.

Historical Society and Cabrini students view Dorrance memoirs.

Cabrini College hosted the Radnor Historical Society on October 16, in an effort to enliven local history for members of the sur rounding communities.

Open house tours drew persons to the college campus which for a century, was the property of the Lewis family and later of H. Jones Brooke.

President of the local historical group and chairman of Bryn Mawr College history department, Miss Caroline Robbins greeted the visitors.

These students will serve as S.G.A. members until the regular January elections are held.

Panel Tell s Of Program

A panel representing Temple University in'tern teaching program spoke to liberal arts majors at Cabrini on November 4, 1965.

Mr. Contini, Miss Wendkos and Miss Anne E. Carroll presented a description of the On-the-Job Training program in Philade1phia.

This program is a two to three cear supervised - t-ra-in-ing-period culminating in a Master's degree plus secondary certification. .Six weeks of intense instruction entails placement in a Junior or Senior high school for the summer session. The trainee carries a full teaching load for the fall term. During this time she is assigned two advisors who observe and evaluate her procedures.

The trainee receives a full teacher's salary for the duration of the program.

Lola Palmaccio

A group of psychology majors is working with mentally retarded children. Three times a week these students go to nearby mental retardation homes. They will receive three credits for this work.

This field work is going on at St. Katherine's Day Care Center and St. Mary of Providence. At St . Katherine's, which is conducted by the Sisters Of Mercy, Merion, the girls are tutoring the children in reading and arithmetic. These children are divided into two groups: the educaibles and the trainaibles.

Fr. Nolan is the cha.plain of St. Mary's, which is directed by .the Sisters of Divine Providence. The ages of the children range from t.wo to eighteen years. The girls are teaching the children activities, such as roller skating and making Christmas decorations. The reactions - of----the-..-psych0Iog.y - ma-j-0rs t this type of work are varied.

Eileen Currie from St. Katherine's states, "I don't like teaching the children; I would prefer doing recreational activities. I feel that no significant accomplishments have yet been achieved ." Mary Ann Hersch from St. Katherine's feels, "I am really accomplishing something ,because the relationship between myself and the child is much more individualized than that between the teacher and the child. I am able to present things which the teacher may not have time to explain." Daisy Maldonado from St. Mary Of Providence likes going, "I feel that the greatest accomplishment is that the children will learn that someone cares, and is interested in them." Ronnie Lindhardt, St. Katherine's "would prefer working with mentally retarded adults on a social basis.

There is not enough time to adequately present the materials."

Junior Palmaccio Claims B.M.O.C. Crown For '65 Lola Palmaccio, Junior, claimed the BMOC crown. Parents and students applauded her at the dinner dance held at the Covered Wa,gon during Parents' Weekend. It took weeks of campus posters, motorcades, invasions of local campuses, and penny-pinching in support of the 1966 "Woodcrest," the college yearbook to win the title.

Lola, attired in a deep blue velvet dress, smilingly accepted a bouquet of roses from the yearbook editors. She thanked her Junior supporters who brought in $360.58 which was calculated at 655%.

Elsie Santin, Senior candidate, brought the "Woodcrest" managers $298 (392%); Ronnie Miller, Freshman, $169.56 (157%); and Susan Cichelli, Sophomore, $104.79 (149%).

and fellowship winner stressed the importance local history plays in developing a deep sense of community among those living in the area.

Guests viewed the Tudor style mansion designed ,between 1900 and 1904 by Horace Trumbauer for James Paul, then owner. Mrs. Paul (Fanny Drexel) was the daughter of Anthony J. Drexel, co-developer of Wayne.

Senior hostesses escorted small groups through the carpeted, .panelled banquet hall to view a uniqUe display which linked the Dorrance family to its former estate.

Facilities

In 1925 the 138 acre estate, WOODCREST, was bought by the late Dr. John T. Dorrance , founder and president of the Campbell Soup Company.

Illustrations of the family tree, citations of membership and honor, newspaper clippings, engraved stationary, old photographs, letters, a once treasured lock of hair, a baby's first shoe, and similar articles captured viewer interest.

This Dorrance memorabilia display, authorized iby Mother Ursula MSC, President, ,brought the era of grand estates into focus.

VUPlay Commended; Senior InLimelight "A Man For All Seasons" was /}resented bv the Re/le Masque Society of Villanova on November 11-14. The play dealt with Thomas More's refusal to submit to the Act of .'iiuf}remacy. Heading the .... cast of female characters as Thomas' wife, Alice, was Bonnie Marie Lucas, Cabrini Senior.

Loquitur: What kiind of woman was Alice More?

Bonnie: Alice was a strong, dutiful woman who worsru.pped her husband but never hesitated to voice her opinion on his actions. She never understood the reasons for his actions, or the depth Of his personality, but she loved him fiercely and recognized his goo.dness..

From the dramatists point o,f view, Alice is the counterpoint of common sense to More's intellectual assertion of his integrity.

Loquitur: · What w,as your -greatest !Problem •in (P'ortziaying Alice?

Bonnle: My ,greatest problem was put ,Ung aside my own li:terary understanding of the script to play a woman who was not intellectual enough to fully comprehend the situations in whi:ch she was placed.

What simplified this problem was the idea that Alice had a strength which kept prodding Thomas much like a dog nips at the heels of an ox.

Loquitur: Was there general satisfaction with the production?

Bonnie: The Admi ,nistrartfon ,and Be11e Masque were satisfied because the show was a financial success. The cast considered it a truly artistic experience. Personally, it was a learning and growing experience which deepened my committment to the theatre.

Bonnie has appeared in Belle Masque productions of "The Desperate Hours" and "Masks of Angels" and will appear in her first Graduate Theatre role as the Insane Woman in "As You Desire Me" at the Playbox, Dec. 3-11.

Chara rcters clutter the work . The reader has to turn back constantly to find out who is who. Yossarian the book's anti-hero is a conniver branded by some as a coward. Though he desserts , he' does so, not as much out of fear as out of sense.

Milo, the only figure who is boring and over-done , is a supply officer turned entrepreneur who corners the world market on all commodities, which he sells and resells to his own syndicates at increasing profits. We question Mr. Heller's ·broad use of farce when he allows Milo to undertake war as a private enterprise and be paid by the Germans to bomb his own camp.

Poetic justice is achieved in the person of Dr. Daneeka, an unethical, money-hungry, selfish practi tioner. Fearful of flying but desirous of flight pay, the doctor has his name recorded on the flight sheet even though he never boards the plane. Following a crash, Daneeka is officially listed as dead, and nothing he says or does can persuade .the Air Force or his wife that he is alive.

The title comes from a pse udo-regulation , No. 22, that you could be grounded if crazy. However if you asked to be .grounded you were obviously sane, and if you did not ask to be grounded you were crazy but no one would interfere with your flying-hence Catch 22.
