What's a Cabrini?

The very observant reader may have caught "Cabrini" in Time Magazine this summer. .

A diagram of Chicago's Democratic Convention set up m the August 23 issue shows "Cabrini Project" clearly marked and labeled to the north of the Convention site. ~o , Cabrini College wasn't staging a protest, a demonstration or a show of power. In fact, the "Project" has nothing to do with either politics or Cabrini College. ~~t,, after. year~ of hearing the statement, "I go to Cabr1m, queried with "What's a Cabrini?" it can somehow be considered an accomplishment to see the name even ' if it .isn't the college, hit the national pres s.

"Cabrini Project" is a social welfare program in Chicago's ghetto area , named for St . Frances Xavier Cabrini.

Mother Cabrini did much work in Chicago founding three hospitaJs and a retreat house. ' But why shouldn't Cabrini College, Radnor Pa. receive publicity? Isn't our Council of College Affairs' the envy of other area colleges? And it was pre -Columbia riot.

D?n_'t we have top-notch professors, who, moreover, ar~ w1llmg to share as much of their knowledge with us out of class as in lectures? And aren't we the fastest moving eleven-year-old college around?

Every year Time Magazine selects a number of small institutions of higher learning and awards these colleges full page ads describing their outstanding points to a nation which has never heard of them.

"Project Cabrini" didn't rate more than an arrow pointing to a red X in a ghetto area . But it's a start. Maybe someday half-inch letters will answer the question "What's a Cabrini ?" '

Reco,gnize and Respond As a senior or junior, one. can realize how far this college has progressed in the past year . Now that most of the restrictions upon Cabrini's growth have been removed, the time has come to stop and realize what can be done with the new openings we now have. .

Mother Barbara, who is our main force in removing these obstacles, is very concerned with what we will do to take advantage of our new situation. She expects a lot from each Cabrini student. She has recognized our maturity and has given us the responsibility to express it. In this expression we are not only required to O'bserve such matters as concern ourselves, but of those around us. _Many-o.0 L us ar.e-fully aware and ha :ve- discussed the problem of civil rights. In this matter Mother Barbara has again taken a lead in putting ideas into action. Many of us are unfamiliar with the "Talent Exposed" program (see page 1) that took place at Cabrini this summer. Projects such as these are vital in order to solve the problem of racial prejqdice in this country. People must step outside their own interests in order to help these projects succeed.

B~cause of the co-operation of Mother Barbara and other prominent members of the Cabrini staff, our college is familiar in many new areas. We are no longer the unknown girl's college that has great curfews; we are the college that is known for taking a prominent role of giving itself to the betterment of social interests . Each one of us as a part of this college must in some way live up to the image for which Ca:brini stands. We must look outside of ourselves and see what is to be done around us.

Letters: Dear Editor, Cabrini College's do - nothing association has finally disbanded.

To blend with the new, professional aura created by computerized , schedules, the student government and class and club officers are putting their heads together for a student contribution to our revitalized campus living. On Tuesday, September tenth, under the direction of the Administration and Mr. Willard Bowers, the first meeting of a student leader workshop was held. Student leaders were advised regarding parliamentary procedure as an aid to running meetings smoothly; and the various secretaries and treasurers received tips to help them carry out their duties professionally.

The greatest product of the workshop was the enthusiasm it generated among student leaders.

The remaining days in September will find club officers excitedly planning a whole year of new and interesting activities that will extend in appeal to the whole campus. Escaped ideas whisper highlights such as specialty dinners for the whole stuDean's Office September 16, 1968 Dear Cabrini Student, Expectations are running high as another academic year gets under way . New challenges, new courses and new teachers are par alleling familiar challenges, courses, and teachers. All are pointing in the direction of Academic Excellence . With a renewed sense of personal responsibility and serious scholarship you will profit much as you continue to grow in Christian womanhood. Steep yourself in Christ, and animated by Him you will consciously care about your God, your fellow man , and yourself.

For the year 1968-1969, then, my wish for you is Happy Growing!

The Children

by Kathy Haag When I see a child, there are many thoughts which come to mind. The most prevalent is

care . "Who cares?" I care, you care?

Caring involves compassion and loving, ideally, but doing, pragmatically. In our Main Line area there are the most important reasons . for "doing " . Again the children.

Hopefully, in the near future, the students and more importantly the "people" of Cabrini College may be given the opportunity to care.

The Student Government is inquiring about the possibility of having people who "care" to work in the area of tutoring less fortunate children, helping the mentally retarded and orphans - in other words - .giving of themselves.

Through your reaction, this program will come alive, or we can observe the death of people here on campus. It is your choice - living, which is caring, or dying, which is indifference.

EmphasisOn Ecumenism

by Sister Andrew, M.S.C. Since the time of Pope PJ.us XII, the Holy Fathers have urged religious everywhere to adapt their habits to the exigencies of the modern apostolate.

Century - Old custom, is coupled with an ultra-conservative bent of mind in many members of religious congregations to delay compliance with the wishes of the Holy See in this matter of religious dress.

Vatican II, witb emphasis on brought new urgency to the problem. As the windows and doors of the church were opened once more to let in a refreshing spirit, many reliaggiornamento,

gious, freed from the psychological bonds of stifling traditionalism, restyled their time-honored habits.

As every religious learns in the novitiate, "the habit does not make the- monk ." Thus, the "new look" is not necessarily an indication that the individual w.eiaring a shor>ter skirt and a simpler coif is more aware or more dedicated to the needs of the people of God today . Nevertheless, one can be certain that such a religious is faithful to the spirit of her foundress who, most assuredly , would approve the simplicity w.ith which she has submitted to the judgement of the Vicar of Christ.

Fash ions Go Creative

by Geri Siciliano What's in vogue this fall?

Creativity. The time has come for individualism.

Experiment with a multitude of accessories, both old and new. Try your belts around your sweaters; take that silk scarf from your hair and tie it around the co11ar of a body shirt.

Interchange.

Use chain belts as necklace and necklaces as belts . Wear your opaque and sweatery stockings with chunky shoes or try a floppy beret and offset it with a knee-length scarf with tons of fringe on it.

Believe it or not, you may allow your imagination to run wild and ·come up with an outfit similar to those featured in the current fashions magazines .

Coats and suits take on the fitted look for fall. Along with this re-discovery of shape w'iil be the variety of length. These range from the mini to mid-calf.

Worn short over the shoulders of your coat, or long as a coat in itself, capes create a dift'eirent and exciting look.

Evidence of this is Jacque's membership in the Intercollegiate Historical Society to which she takes an active interest.

Not one to commit herself to one field, Jacque's historical interests are varied. You may find her clleering for William F.

Important, too, is a companion who shares the enthusiasm you feel. iFor beginners, jog for 15 minutes to one half hour and then increase your time gradually, When you find your conversation becoming breathless, it is a signal to slow down. 'ro be speci:ftc, jogging is a brisk walk or slow run.

Have 15 minutes to spare?

The ideal times are early in the morning or early evening . One group on campus meets around Wloodcriest at 7:00 P.M. So to release tension and enjoy scenery, join the joggers and remember those glasses ! !

Have a Paper Due? Cabrini students have all the million or so circulating books of the Free Library of PhiladeL phia at their term-paper disposal.

Borrowing the books doesn't even require a trip into Philly.

The Radnor Township Library, HO Lancaster Pike in Wayne, has an arrangement for resident students of schools and colleges in the community.

Interested students pay a twodollar registration deposit which is refunded at the end of the academic year. This entitles them to ,all the bor.rowing privileges of the Radnor Library, including requests for books from the Philadelphia library.

science and br_gak a law or act within the legal framework editors were more closely divid~ ed . Fifty-eight percent of the students felt that as long as the law made it illegal to evade the draft, they were morally, ethically and legally bound to obey the law.

Over 42 percen t felt that despite the law, individuals had to decide on the basis of their own conscience whether or not to serve when called.

Given the existing laws, respondents to the poll did not hesitate when it came to working within the legal framework of the Selective Service Act and applying for either a legal deferment o:r_a conscientious objector status.

Eighty-nine percent suggested that they would just rather work within the framework of the existing system rather than going to jail. Only 11 percent preferred jail as opposed to cooperating with the draft.

Not one college editor stated he would leave the country and head for Canada.

Jogging, although compara. tively new in the U.S.A ., is not a passing fad. It has been popular form of recreation for many years in Europe.

Benefits from jogging include better muscle tone for all participants. It serves as a stimulant for appetites in the underweight and as an aid to fi..gure improvement to those with "better appetites".
