Story Below

by Susan Durling and Jacque Tague The third Cabrini showing of the "Talent Exposed" company's variety show was staged by the Who Cares committee on October 10. It drew its largest audience, a full capacity crowd, and raised almost two hundred dollars for the project.

The large audience ,was a significant breakthrough for the group . Besides a high iIJeroentage of Oabrini students and faculty represented, there were also interesited area patrons, newspapers, and a television promotion agent present.

The entertainments consisted of such talent as the soloists Ronald Richardson, Troi Piscon, and Harriet Thalf, a Cabrini graduate; a Gospel and rock group, the Cooperettes; and Hilton James on the Conga drums.

Following this was exerpts from their play WAKE UP AND LIVE, which is a story about "any typical Negro middle-class neighborhood."

The predominant constituent of the audience was the "younger generation.

Speaking on "The Politics of Silence", Sorenson commented that " .. never before has the hope of the young and the Black depended so much on the results of a presidential election .. " . The enthusiasm of these two groups - the young and the mack - is being drained , he explained, by the shattering silence of the presidential candidates on the issues that concern these grou;p,s the mo'st.

These issues are obviously Viet Nam and Civil Rights.

Stated Sorenson, "No one really knows where ,a candidate stands on the definite aspects.

We know their essential intentions but not the quantifiers ."

We know, he went on, they intend to stop the war, but we don 't know how they intend to stop it. By leaving essential isses ou,t of their campaigns, they

Say It With Letters Can you think of something missing from both issues this year? Can you think of a few .things that should have been in this i8sue? Good. If you've thought enough to miss a thing, to wonder why it wasn't covered, you're to be congratulated.

You're thinking.

We, the editors, would really like to know that our readers are thinking about both what we choose to write and what isn't written . Let us know what goes on in your mind.

Everyone has written letter s before. A letter to the Editor has only the difference th at your words might reach print. As long as what you say contain s no libel or slander, or isn't repulsively poor taste, it's printable.

Even if it isn't printed, your opinion, your thoughts, still come across to us . you feel strongly about starving Biafrians, the draft, the cut .system or meal cards, you'll communicate.

Share your thoughts and your opinions with the entire college community .

Another observation: What is written in the LOQUITUR is not sacrosanct.

Communication is an exchange of ideas. Yet how many students, faculty members, or other members of the college community offered a written reply, expressing either disagreement or agreement with Dr . Romano's analysis of Mr. Nixon's law and order theme?

Silence implies agreement.

The editors agreed with what Dr. Romano had written. But, come now there must have been some dissent within the college com~unity.

What about Dr. Benjamin's discourses on Vietnam in this issue? Just one year ago a poll in the October issue of LOQUITUR showed only one student agreeing that the U .S. should withdraw troops and. deescalate the bombing in Vietnam. Has everyone changed her mind?

HistoryAndVietnam OrTheDangerOf History

By DR. JANE BENJAMIN Some his ,torians have thought that the training of statesmen should be the study of history.

Some stat e smen have thought that ,an his torian's ,tmining should be active participati on in affairs of state . Both ideas involve a connection 'between pa st politics ,and IP·resent. Pres ent experience suggests lo me that loose thinking along these lines can be very dangerous.

Why are we mired in Vietnam? Any history student knows that there are :many, complex reasons, but one important reason certainly is the conclusions which our statesmen have drawn from their own experience of history.

The lived ·through the Second World War and its aftermath.

They naturally forget that shattering experience, but .also they cannot free themselves from the ideas of those times . They can see the present only in terms of that past .

Consequently, when they fighrt Ho Chi Minh (or is it Mao?), they think t,hey are fighting Hitler , something which, incidenfly , must be quite hard for Ho to understand.

Because not resisting Hitler in the 1930's was such an twful mi stake, the U.S., in the 1960's, must intervene, with

arms, in every conflict, even civil war, which breaks out in almo s t any corner of the globe.

Likewise because Stalin, after World War II, vastly extended the areas under Rus ·· sia.n control, these statesmen believe that every Communist leader is always thinking in terms of indefinite eXJJansion.

Conscience - stricken in the face of European critid:s.m that 1he U.S . waited too long to enter two world w,ars, that it hesitated ,to accept its just share of the burden of civilization and thereby caused lives to be wasted, they hasten to shoulder the whole burden in accordance with their int erpretation of what th e burden currently is, and wa ste more lives. Although this American idealism and vigor is most enga ,ging, per,haps, in the case O!fVietnam, it is neither humane nor wise.

Becaus:e they are the prisoners of these fixed ideas, these sta tesmen cannot think objectively about the realities of the pr es ent situation.

They brush aside facts presented to them :by their intellig ent services and by ex.pert students of Asian affairs and by newspaper reporiters in Vietnam. They violate the ba sic tenet of empirical thought, which is to base conclusions

StopViolence,MakePeace; WhenWillTheTimeCome?

Election day marks five months since the death of Robert Kennedy. Yet, the rush of emotion that poured into Washington in the form of letters protesting the accesses to violence in this country has not brought about any rush of action. The issue seems to have been cast aside.

Television people can breathe easily, because they can still profit from the promotion of crime . Hunters do not have to bother themselves about registering their rifles.

And of course our Congressmen can sigh with relief because they have been saved from the danger of insulting the lobby. Yes, everyone is pacified and will remain so until the next time but then that one will pass by also.

Maybe these statements place the issue into broad generalizations, but this does not change the facets about the danger of violence we face each day, a1111this includes the rapi st loose in this area threatening us all at Cabrini.

This state cannot be passed off as just a social condition faced everywhere. Many can testify to the fact that the threat of everyday violence in the United States is a state that does not exist in European countries. There is something that can be done, but there doesn't seem to be anyone willing to take concrete steps to do it.

Cabrini College S .G .A. is now upon a study of the evidence.

They operate in a world of whait President Kennedy called myths. can we What conclusions draw from this, other than the obvious one that historr can be a dangerous thing? One certainly is that, if history is to be useful, it must be well and thoroughly studied in order to understand, as fully as we can, the nature of the historical process, rather than drawing conclusions from isolated incidents in history.

I have learned from the study of history tha ,t the affairs of men are complicated. I mean this not as a pJatitude nor as an obfuscation but as a serious and useful operating principle . A big trouble with the kind of thinking ·that I have been descr~bing is its extreme oversimplification.

Involved in the complexity of history is the fact that history never repeats itself~not exactly .

History is constant change.

Therefore one of the grea,t lessons to be learned from studying history is the need for flexibility and adaptability of mind in the face of change. Inflexible ideologies have cauJSed a great deal of troUJble. Perhaps, too, understanding the historical IPII'Ocess requires study of a longer period than one's own lifetime.

Committee Adds ToParents' Weekend

Black Advances Surgery; Dr. D. H. Williams Cited The Black American has been hated and sinned against for a long time. The White man looks at the Black people as a backward, illiter· ate race. The Black man has sweated and U'orked for everything he has.

Why did he bother U'hen he knew that whatever he did that showed some intelligence the merit and glory would be stolen from him?

He bothered because he cared.

He has been in this country as long as the White man; and even though people want you to believe it, he didn't sit around and watch the world go by.

History is built 011 people, not ;ust white people, but on all people.

The purpose of this feature is to bring the facts of history to Cabrini College through the Loquitur. Just as there are famous lf/hite people there are also famous Black people.

We hope to present a series of articles which will make you aware that Black people have had historic achievements.

In 1893 a street fighter, James Cornish, suffered a knife wound in any artery a fraction of an inch from his heart. Surgery had to be performed . .Just think ... in 1893 ... no blood transfusions, no heart pumps, and no electronics. The opening of the

patient's chest and repair of the wound saved his life.

The operation was · performed

by Dr. Dariiel Hale Williams.

It was the first successful openheart surgery.

Dr. Williams was born in Pennsylvania, in 1858. He received his education in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and the Chicago Medical School. In 1891, he established the country's first interracial hospital where the open heaxt sulrgiry was performed.

Dr. Williams was called to Washington to reorganize the Freedman's Hospital of Howard University, and he opened its first nursing school.

He resigned in 1898 and re-turned to Chicago, where Dr. Williams became the only Negro on the staff at St. Luke's Hospital. He had pioneered in the establishment o,f Provident Hospital in Chicago and in 1905 resumed his association there. He was affilia ,ted with the Northwestern University School of Medicine. In 191'3, he was elected a Fellow of the Ameri ·can College of Surgeons. Yet how many history books mention Dr. Daniel Hale Williams?

TheShoe Revolution

by Geri Siciliano A shoe revolution? Yes, shoes are setting an entirely new and different trend in the world of fashion today. They ,play a bigger, more important part than ever before. The current creawithout this new shoe style.

What makes shoes look so different this season? The look is cloddy and I do mean cloddy. and extra Heels are higher thick, toes <1re wide and rounded 1 and lots of hardware, as well as leather work, is used as decor. Some appear so heavy and oversized that you may wonder how a girl can pick u.p her feet. The truth is that they're really very comfortable.

Shoe specialists consider them the best thing that ever happened to a girl's feet. Support has come at last t-0 women's shoes.

Yet, aren't they ugly looking?

Of course they are--0n a shelf in the store. But put them on with sweatery stockings, textured stockings, opaque stockings, or the new slim-look knee socks and y.ou have the great new look in foot-wear.

Implementation of structural changes is scheduled for February.

The major change provided for in the _program is the establishment of a governing council in each university, to be made up of students and professors, students ellrnstitutin the members.

The councils will set their own policies and procedures for ibudgeting, ,administration, teaching methods, examinations and maintenance of order. The .president of the university will be elected by the student-faculty

council, and will serve as chief administrative officer.

·Collage IV In Progress

by Elena Marroni October 30, 1965 marked the beginning of a tradition at Cabrini.

This

"unique"

tradition

was

Col-

lage sponsored by the Class of 1969.

Anyone who passed the smoker in Sacred Heart Hall found a group of energetic freshmen decorating, and praying that their cofJee house would be a success. At three o'clock the doors were opened and people began coming, and coming, and coming.

Due to the first success, Collage

II in 1966 was moved to larger grounds-the smoker of Grace Hall and the following year it moved on to the ca/ eteria.

This year the Class of 1969 is working in coniunciion with their little sisters, the class of 1971, in order to insure that the tradition will be carried on throughout the years.

Collage IV will be held in the cafeteria on October 27 at 7 :30.

There will be ~ive entertainment by groups from the area schools. Refreshments will be served.

Dr. Desiardins Draws Parallel Between The Orienta.I Religions And Christianity On Monday, October 14 a philosopher by the name of Desjardins spoke to a small gatherHe ing of Ca'brini students. spoke

of

man,

religion,

nature,

:and mysticism.

P.aul J. R. Desjardins is a iProfessor of philosophy at Haverford College. The text of his address to Cabrini's Philosophy Clu!b centered around Tilbetan and its methods of Budahism meditation.

The startling p:arallels which Dr. Desjardins drew between oriental religion and Christianity served as the focal .points of his discussion. Eastern reli ·gion differs from Christia ·nity, however, in its pantheistic back-

of ground and its conception man as an element of the greater whole. The Tilbetan Buddhist, according to Desjardins, finds himself in a world of various sources of inspiration . Religion becomes ,personal and more subjective than Christianity.

It involves puriffcation of mind and what is called "altruistic enlightenment."

Desjardins made oriental religion and philosophy seem a little less remote. The Western ,and eastern mentalities may approach a concept differently, but they both are approaching the same conce,p-t--a viable relationship between man and his God and/ or gods.

HockeyTeamEndsSeason One victory and three losses went down on record as another Cabrini hockey season closed last week. Twenty-two students participated in the sport, alm ost twice the number involved last year.

Since hockey at Cabrini does no.t have full varsity status (involving leagues, strict adherence to the game rules etc.) the season's contests consisted of scrimmages and informal games.

All the action this year was on the Cabrini field .

EBC Overpowers The Oabrini defense got a real workout in the opening game , 25, with Eastern September Baptist . For E.B.C. it was attack, attack, attack . The Bastern girls completely dominated the g,ame and the final score stood 6-0. The few times the C .C . defense front line took over, Eastern halfbacks were right there to t•ackle and send the ball back down the field for another goal.

Victory Over Carroll Radnor 's Archbishop Carroll High School offered to give Ca•brini some practice and a scrimmage took place October 7. As in the Eastern Baptist game , the QPP-Osing offense assumed control, but a few fast break aways and smart dodges gave Cabrini the win.

Halfiback, Mary Lou Tranchitella scored the first Cabrini goal on a pressure play while Jane Se<foonek, her right inner, was keeping the goalie occupied .

Later, center Dotsie ·Mellon broke away and one-on-one with the Carroll goalie, she flicked the ball in for a score.

The C::.C. defense held the Carroll girls to ·a single goal.

Gwynedd On Top Back with it's own size, Cabrini took on Gwynedd-Mercy.

Again it was visiting offense against home defense . Goalie, Marie Florentino, made some beautiful saves, but Gwynedd showed no mercy and left with a 5-0 victory.

Cabrini wound UiP its hockey season last week with the Immacu1ata game. The home team was playing remarkably be,tter .

Immaculata didn't score a goal until late in the fiI1St half. The Ca•brini offense had the blall as much as did Imrnaculata, and the action was more in center field than in front of Marie Florentino . During the ~ond half, Immaculata's it was actually defense continually warding off

Don'tLetThe FluGetYou Philadelphia The flu is hack.~This year's variety, known as the Hong Kong strain, is expected to provoke medium to severe epidemics according to Dr. William T. Lane, M.D., Regional Medical Director of the Pennsylvania State Department of Health.

Bec ,ause ,_ the virus returns each yea -r in a sHgihtly different form, the flu vaccine you may have received last year will have very limited effectiveness this year . Likewise, the vaccine d'or thi.!s year 's Hong K-0ng strain, presently in tP['Oduction, will have very limited effectiveness against whatever strain develops a year from now.

According ,to a report by the National Communica ,ble Disease Center, proven cases of this year's Hong Kong strain have been reported in several areas of the United States including Princeton, New Jersey . Gener ,ally speaking, the cases have been

The crisp ,a u t u m n breeze blows tPlayfully through your hair and the fallen leaves crunch rhythmically under your feet as you ·and your date eagerly make your way towards the bowl-shaped edifice, familiar t<f so many, as the football stadium .

Since the turn of the century, fans have turned out to watch their favorite teams engage in intercollegiate football rivalry.

As the years hav:e gone by, the games have become awaited annual events, steeped in tradition and surrounded by unparalled pageantry.

Isolated contests have, through the years, surged into of national the !bloodstream prominence.

The living legend of the "Fighting Irish!" is known by every fan from 5 to 105.

New Years' Day no longer br.ings to mind the Wassail Bowl and new beginnings. It means, football, ,football ,and rather, more football. Perhaps the only resolution Dad has made is to increase his stamina- that is, to persevere through cheering the Rose Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, and the Su,giar Bowl.

The seasonal nip in the air tickles cheeks and promotes a healthy blush.

As you ·climb up into the stands, y.ou can feel the excitement mount. You sit down and watch with great amusement, the masculine ritual your date is following.

Peanuts in one hand, pen in the other, he scans odd little the program ~king signs throughout .

Leaving your date to h is perus.als, you focus your attention on the myriad of fashion going on about you. This is to many girls the best par1 of the a,fternoon. Where else could you find such a vast representation of fall fashion? It provides the perfect OiPPOrtunity to coordinate next week's outfit.

All of a sudden the stadiium reverberates with power if u I

"Prevention, not treatment, is our main hope for safety fu"om influenza," says Dr. Lane. He therefore advocates vaccination as soon as it is availa:ble in the area .

sound as the teams take the field . You rise to your feet cheering, then hold your breath, ·anticipating the outcome of the toss . Your team wins the toss; they have chosen to receive. You crane your neck, and squeeze your date's hand as they receive and run 5, 10, 20, 45 yards.

You continue to grimace, offer comments about the ref and his wife and cheer all the way down the field until it happens; the cannon blasts, you cheer until you're hoarse and clap until your hands sting. BONUS, touchdown!

'72 Elects Officers Norma Garbo and .Marion Ce.pis were elected resident and day hQ? representatives on Friday, October 4, as elections were held for the .freshman class officers. 'nle meeting, called by senior advisers Judy Sherknis .and Mary Uelen Packard, also elected Pat Kelly to the ~al Committee as class chairman and Diane Mailey and Betty Lou Winkler as day hop and resident reps. Freshman elections will be held again next semester .

To l.nterv.iew Critic (Continued from Ra.ge 1) In July, 1968, Charles Scribner's Sons published Maloff's first novel, HAPPY FAMILIES. According to critic Wirt Williams, HAPPY FAMILIES "not only makes a purely philosophical statement (man must put his love somewhere to survive). It dramatizes persuasively a sociological theme: the American Family is dead as an institution." The audience will be able to Judge this for themselves when Ralph Collier interviews Mr. Malo.ff on November 12.

Ugly Baby, You Made It!

Sorenson (Continued from Rage 1) endorsed Hu<ber1 H. personally Humphrey.

In conclusion, Sorenson en~ couraged youth to "speak out''.

He reminded the younger generation of one important . aspect - be.fore we can give our support to a candida ,te, we must realize that our primary tP,urpose should be to persuade people to vote.

We should not be co~cerned with fear of resentment from our elders, he summed up, but rather with an overwhelming pride in our country and the desire to see it progress and remain free.
