Trisha Goes Home

SENATOR EDWARD KENNEDY (D-Mass). and CoJJrressional Senator's visit to Delaware County. for the Massachusetts

candidate

John J. Logue discuss plans

Trisha Bogan was brought to her final resting place in Gate of Heaven Cemetery last Tuesday as the grieving family and sorrowing friends prayed for her eternal rest.

Over one-hundred and fifty representatives from Cabrini College traveled to Maryland to express their sympathy to the Bogan f amity.

The entire college community had ioined in an 11 o'clock requiem mass for Trisha on Monday at the request of her ~lassmates. Mass cards and flowers carried the co;iolances of many students and faculty members unable to make the long trip. Among the mourners present were boys from the Temple University fraternity Alpha Chi Rho. The fraternity's house in Philadelphia was the site of the tragic accident which claimed the 21 year old senior's life.

Hope and triumph were two themes interwoven with sorrow throughout the final ceremoni es. Th e priest reminded the family of this moments fz.efore the casket was closed upon the young girl who seemed but asleep.

The faint pink of her lips and the shimmer of the crystal beads in her hands belied th e truth .

The very w ord procession, he said, was symbolic of the triumphant march,- a Christian man was entering the fatherland. "And we must keep this in mind , despite our grief,- and in it all we see our hope of life .''

In Christ the King Church the interwov en th eme continu ed. "The paradox of Christianity" som e voice was saying. And each one within that seemingly unif ied congregation thought in a private, almost sacred way--my favorite daughter, my dear sister, my great roommat e, a classmate of mine , a student of- mine, a friend. So many memori es· to make

Kennedy SpeaksAt LocalRally Edward M. (Ted) Kennedy (D-Mass.) greeted about 40 Cabrini girls amid the throng of 5,000 at the Clifton Heights Democratic Rally on October 10.

Speaking on behalf of the state and county candidates, the senator pointed out that there are three main points to be considered when looking for a political victory: important issues, reliable candidates and good organization. He claimed that although - Delaware County has been known as a Republican area, the time has come for a change.

1966-67 College Year

Faculty Increases By Nine Nine educators have joined the Cabrini faculty for the 1966-67 college year.

The latest addition to Cabrini's Psychology department is Dr . James L. Calkins who comes from the Midwest.

He earned his B.S. at Marquette University, and his M.S. and Ph.D. at Purdue. Dr. Calkins spent two years teaching at Villanova University. He feels that psychology is essential to a liberal art!'-1 background since it is an intrinsic part of every subject in the field (Cont. Page 2)

Experience has shown that summer facilities available for are not the ment ·ally retarded sufficient in quality or quanitity.

Dr. Arthur J. Delaney, Chairman of Cabrini's psychology department, did somethinig this past summer to help this situation.

Langoma Opened On June 27:th, Camp 'Langoma (Indioan for Homeland) was op•ened for 100 retarded girls from the ages of 6 to 16 on the grounds of The Institute of St. Mary''S of Providence in Chester Counity.

Dr. Del,aney seems pleased wi :bh ithe achievements made during the doay camp's six week session this summer, .but by no means does he sound satisfied .

He hopes that in the near future the camp program will be expanded to fill more of the needs which exist in this area.

Camp Langoma did not handle, in this its first year, the more severely retarded young-

ster nor were any of the campers boys.

It is Dr. Delaney's ihope that sometime in the future such children can be taken care of in the camp program. Also there ,ar·e some youngsters ,that need the services of Langoma ·but because of financial reasons can not be availed of them. This need Dr. Delaney would like •to see filled in the near future.

They get to you. those Bob Dylan discredits who say he writes "·protest" or "message" songs. Very matterof-factly very humbly, he claims to seek' :the truth through his words and songs. He succeeds; his songs ,are a veritable reflection of the poet's mind. The fact that his words affect listeners in ,fille way they do seems to reemphasize his desired attainment of truth.

Overlooked Solution For the first time in many of our lives we are seeing the bitter reality of war. Before it was only a picture in a history book, a movie on television, a tale of a soldier.

Now it is read. Now it is a brother aboard ship on a lonely bay. Now it is a boyfriend peering into the darkness of a. lonely Vietnamese night. Now it is a tragic telegram coldly reporting a friend's death in a distant jungle.

We all feel the sudden urge to do something to help in the war which threatens the lives of our soldiers, and for that matter, the very existence of our world. There seems to be so little to do-letters, packages and assurances of our encouragement, seem to be all that we are capable of. However, the one thing we overlook is prayer.

To some the suggestion of prayer sounds corny .or "holier-than-thou." Well, if you think so, just ask a fighting man its worth. Many a soldier has gone into battle with a prayer of petition in his heart.

Pope Paul VI has urged all world leaders to ma~ an effort to find a peaceful solution to the conflict which is now raging in Southeast Asia. For us on the homefront, he recommends that we join in prayers for peace, especially during the month of October.

His Holiness and many religious leaders point out excellent theological reasons necessitating prayers for peace. All we ask is that you think of that brother, that boyfriend, that friend.

SGA means sore feet that guided too many tours in heels.

It means a president who spirited e~hausted Frosh into Grace Hall smoker for the fastest explanation on record of that book.

SGA means disappointments as well as successes. Some SGA plans don't jell.

Leonard Bernstein had the ,audacity to promise VU a concert after VU had promised SGA a mixer. With only hours between the Frosh and a Friday night in the dorm, SGA phone calls conjured up a PMC mixer.

SGA means decisions • . . some vital, some trivial, but decisions all the same.

Phone call: "Who goes?"

"Send the Seniors this week."

"How about the bus to Vialley Forge Veterans' Hospital?"

"Who'll drive?"

My Date's A Card They said it was a machine age. They said it would happen. Can a human being argue with an equation? Yes, the machipe has replaced Aunt Emily as a matchmaker.

Computer dating? Pros and cons flo.od the campus.

The usual three-dollar fee was questioned: "If they come down to a dollar, I'll buy" ... "Is there a money-back guarantee?" ... "You :might latch on to a rich one since they do have the three dollars to throw around." "I wish I had the three _dollars."

Others believe there are hidden motives behind the process: "It's a money-making scheme" . . . "I'll tell you after I get my first date from it." ... " LOW STOCK "I--wouldn't:pu-t--too-nnrch s ock in 1rr:-.. nlt's farce; machine computing is no basis for love."

"I can't imagine what kind of boy would ever enter" .. .

"Most people are ready to go on blind dates; at least it's a compatible one."

Even the psychological aspects were considered: "The result could be traumatic, and cause a severe paranoic or schizophrenic condition on one's personality which might inhibit them from attaining adequate adjustment."

Still , some doubt the dependibility of a machine: "How could you go through life with a square root?" ...

MACHINE MIXUP One doubting note was offered, "Does it help you to read?" Obviously, the match maker computer was confused with a speed reading device.

"Creeping Computer" exclaimed one enthusiastic TV fan.

The rugged adventurer offers a "Why not?"

A collegiate coed thought, "The whole thing is strictly high-camp."

The realist flatly announced that, "Mixers just won't help anymore."

After dating a computer-mate, one might agree with the promoters who say, "If you are compatible, you are computible."

Space ForSpidey?

Maryellen

The g_ir}S,in_ the dorm Iaugli a me when I read my comic books. What's with these studious automatons prowling the Cabrini campus? Nobody's even heard of Spider-man!

-to Esquire, rthis According maladjusted super-anti-hero is one of the "28 people who count on campus," and why not?

Spide:riman alias Peter P.arker, is a typical' college man; brilliant, studfous Cihem major at NYU, socially insecure, semi-bashful, accident prone; . he has his own cycle, a sweet old Aunt May who nags him constantly, and a grou,p of wierd con t em!l)Oraries who put rum down ("leaving so soon, Pete? Wotta shame!")

This least-likely super.hero is generally disliked in his . home town.

The editor of The Daily Bugle has a one-man hate campaign directed against my man Spidey.

Kids like other . super-heroes better (I'll foade you 5 Spiderman, autographs for one of the Hulk's).

Spidey's resulting inferiority complex has icailsed his somewhat cocky manner. Writer Stan Lee's ,perit dialogue, especially in the fight scenes, reveals Slpidey's crump wit: "NOIW I've ,got you!" yells an overly sure enemy.

Spidey's rejoinder: " 'Now I've got you!'?? Slay, you ought to copyright tha,t phrase! It'is ,a real swinger! Didja ·tJhink it up all by yourself?"

I think the true reason Spider-man appeals to the 500,000 monthly comic buyers (not to mention the scroungers like me who steal them from the back of Karmann Ghias) is that we can identify so much with him.

Flaherty He's wierd, he 's mix.ed - u.p, personally, thinlt mts oared; yet through 1bhe tri,als and tribulatiorus of a college student sUJper-hero's life, he r-etains his sarcastic sense of humor. Add,:,ess. ing a criminal fleeing in a balloon, Sipidey inquires, ever so tactfully, "You ever think of seeking help about tiha,t an:ti-so cial attitude of yours?"

Spider-man exp I a ins his plight, "I had to be mad to take this job in the first place; no vacation, work weekends, not even a retirement fund!"

Poor Sipidey! Oan' ,t Cahrini ,ad'ford ,more .than one sympathizer!

Undaunted, Spidey l iv es on; as my favorite comic-n x1der has told me, "Our friendly Tuei-ghlbor~ood S,pider-man is the hottest thing on college campuses since Holden Caulfield!"

SGA means answering questhe tions . ·~But why didn't schedules come in yet?" Can't you talk to the printer and get those matric cards faster?" "Did the ceiling really fall in?" "Who is going to Trenton College Night?"

SGA means elections. Gay Mendres can stand another Job. The Freshmen need her.

No, Mary Helen Packard is not the resident rep; she is a Day hop. Maureen Kelly and Mary Beth De Bello join the sandwich discussion of the Dorm Council in the mansion; Peggy Glah and Carolyn Downing serve the counterpart Council in Grace Hall. Jeanne Baudouin coordinates the two groups .

(Dorm council is composed of SGA members and additional residents.)

SGA means demerits, petitions, meetings, agendas, notices, letters ...

SGA means a president contemplating self-liquidation if queried once more about the lunch line congestion.

Dr. Logue Asserts Stand On County, World Issues

By Kathy Gavin In his office on the campus of Villanova University on October 3, Dr. John J. Logue spoke to the Loquitur on his political views regarding Delaware County, the nation, and the world.

He is the Democratic candidate for Congress from DeJaiware County's Seventh district .

The professor 'has been teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in Political Science at Villanova since 1959.

Concerning ,the question of redistricting, Dr. Logue commenlted that it is hard to tell its ·impact. Due to the manner in which the redistricting was done, the candidate feels ,that it w,as .an attempt to insure a Republithat can victory.

He added

"there was ,probably ,a little bit of ,gerrymandering."

One of ithe issues in his cam1p,aign has been the role which the state should play •in education. Dr. Logue believes that there should be ,a community college in Delaiware County. The professor pointed out that this county is one of the few which is not ,about ,to set up a community college. He stressed the fact that the taxes of the ,people in this coun.ty ,are still going toward the maintenance of colleges in Bucks, Montgomery and other counties.

The Loquitur asked Dr. Logue what consideration he would ,give the party line when voting in Congress. The candidate ,asserted that one must always try ·~to vote on the mertts of rtlhe issue." Considera t ions must be giv ,en to the voters, the party and other forces; "the one aspect analysis must be avoided."

"The main issue in this cam,paign," according to Dr . Logue, "is .the qualtty of suburban life."

THE FIRST GOAL IN THE HISTORY of Cabrini field hockey was scored last week

by Terry Warner, Freshman, in the Eastern Baptist game.

Assisted by Margaret Boyle, Sophomore, ( who almost put her foot in it) this goal marks a tremendous advance in this campus sport.

Despite the strong defense tactics of Jane Leary, Freshman goalie, the novice Blue and White team dropped the match 4 -1. But the elation of having broken the no-goal record more than made uip for the loss.

The othe .r team members included: Cathy Owens, Bonnie Kelly, Mary Cavanaugh, Barbara Bradfield, Pam Mayer, Dotsie Mellon, Debbie Scott. Jane Sefranek, Joan Radano and Kathy McGuire.
