College SetsUpPersonal Service Department The Administration of Cabrini College has announced the organization of the Department of Student Personnel Services under the direction of the Vice President for Student Affairs (formerly known as the Dean of Students). This department will be responsible for the organization of already existing and yet-to-be C°'1Ceived services in the fields of religious affairs, personal counseling, academic counseling, vocational counseling , placement (postgraduate and part-time), residence, food service, health services, orientation, student activities and publications, and all other affairs commonly connected with student life.

Some of the areas will come under the joint jurisdiction of both the Department of the Vice president for Student Affairs and another Department; i.e ., responsibility for academic counseling will be shared with the Vice President for Academic Affairs, while responsibility for food service will be handled by both the Vice Presidents for Business and Finance and for Student Affairs. The organization of the Department is shown in the accompanying chart.

In the area of religious affairs, ithe department calls for

I

the organization of a committee composed of students, faculty, and administration which would seek ways and means of making the christian experience relevant to the college community as well as creating meaningful liturgical events for the campus community .

Counseling and guidance needs will be served by the Vice President for Student Affairs and the academic faculty advisors.

Another full-time counselor will be added to the staff in September, 1970. Beginning September 1969, vocational guidance ( career choice and planning) will include the offering of psychological testing services to determine the occupational interests of the individuals seeking such help.

These testing programs will be administered to all freshmen during second semester and to all interested upper classmen during the first semester. Details on the time and place will be posted. Also, in this area, an extensive bibliography of career materials and books is being added to the reserve section of the library .

Post-graduate placement will be aided by a faculty placement committee which will endeavor to collect and disseminate information on job opportunities for May graduates within the field of their ma-

jor study , Wherever possible, on-campus interviews will be set up and advertised as such.

All notifications of off-campus part-time employment opportunities will be directed to the Department of Student Personnel Services which is also responsible for advertising such information.

(On-campus employment requests will still be handled by the Office of the Vice-President for Business and Finance).

A resident staff of four full time members and two students Resident Assistants is in operation for the first itime on the Cabrini Campus. This staff, in conjection with the studentelected Dorm Councils, will be responsible for aiding and advising the Vice-President for Student Affairs in matters pertaining to on-campus residence.

An active food committee, comprised of both resident and commuter students, will aid the manager of the cafeteria and the Vice-Presidents of Business and Finance and Sturlent Affairs in the area of food service.

The traditional pre-class Orientation Program for the incoming students of Cabrini has been supplemented by a semester-long series of small group sessions in which freshmen will meet each week with

the Dean of Students to discuss common problems of adjustment, choosing m(\jors, study techniques, library and research methods, etc. Opportunities will be given later in the semester for upperclassmen to share their experience with the freshmen in such sessions .

All students activities as directed by the SGA and SAC wiil also be under the direction of the Vice-President for Student Affairs who will act as Director of Student Activities . Arrangements have already been completed with the Office of Business and Finance to transfer all student funds (for activities and publications) to the SGA account-thereby centralizing the management of student finances . Attention and special publicity will be given to these on-campus events which will be of interest to our neighbors in the local community. It is also hoped that the establishment of the evening division will also help to raise attendance at on-campus affairs-and that interest attendance at these affairs may lead to further interest in the evening division .

Constant communication and evaluation are essential issues in the establishment and continuance of a Department of Student Personnel Services.

Residence

Communication to the Administration and Faculty will be handled vis a Executive Council meetings and the issuing of a special department newsletter .

Communication to students will normally utilize the columns of Loquitur , the SGA Newsletter, special memos to the student body, and the official department bulletin board-across from the office of the VicePresident for Student affairs in Sacred Heart Hall . Special assemblies will be convened wherever necessary.

Evaluation-that is, the judg· ing of the effectiveness of policies and procedures of the department will be the jurisdiction of a special standing committee to be founded for this purpose-the SPS Evaluation Committee. This group will be comprised of two members of the administration, two members of the faculty and from each four students-one year--one of whom must be a commuting student. They will meet at regular intervals to discuss the regular intervals to discuss the effectiveness of the services offered by Department of SPS, ' to study problems belonging to those areas, and to determine ways and means of improving student life on the campus of Cabrini College.

Youth Fares on the Rise Washington (CPS) Air line youth fares will continue, but not at the current half-price discount.

The five-man Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) decided here this month that while the fares, which enable persons 12-22 to fly standby at low cost, were fair in principle, airlines should be allowed to raise them to 60 per cent of the regular coach fare.

The reason: steep wage ~ettlements, more expensive fuel, and higher landing fees have lowered airline profits excessively, according to the CAB, and price increases in both regular and promotional disto incounts are necessary crease revenue. The major air carriers offering special youth fares are expected to take advantage of the CAB ruling and raise their prices. The new rates will take effect Oct. 1.

A CAB spokesman said further hearing will be held on the "economics" of the discount rate as soon as a court case brought by Trailways Bus Systems against the CAB is se.ttled.

Ahillas Joins Staff Mr. Theophilos Ahillas of Philadelphia has been named director of student recruitment and financial aid at Cabrini College. He will coordinate college relations with high school guidance counselors and prospective students.

Formerly a sales representative with Olympic Airways in Philadelphia, Mr. Ahillas has also been associated with the Charles Brunning Company and with Advertising Specialty Institute.

A graduate of Valley Forge Military Academy, he received the B.A. from the University of Salonica (Greece).

there to be any discount for youth at all, since adults must pay full fare.

The youth fare issue was forced to a head last January when several bus companies, all of which had lost business to the airlines on account of the fares, filed suit to make the CAB listen to their arguments that the discounts were illegal.

The Fifth Circut Court of Appeals in New Orleans, agreeing with some of the arguments, ordered the CAB to investigate, and CAB examiner Arthur S. Present subsequently found the fares to be "unjustly discriminatory and in violation of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958.

Present recommended that the fares be abolished, but the CAB delayed action when protest was registered by the National Student Association, the Campus Americans for Democratic Action, the National Student Marketing Corporation, and many students and parents who deluged CAB offices with letters.

Three measures were introduced in Congress in support of the low-cost youth fares.

In its recent decision, the CAB concluded, contrary to Present's earlier findings, that the fares were not discriminatory, but benefitted all travelers. By engendering development of a new market they "have contributed sizably to convenient schedules more making modern equipment and broadly available," the CAB said.

"It is clear that the youth standby fares have generated a significant amount of new traffic," it said, "The 12-22 age group,<; are more responsive to price than is the market as a whole. Morever; in addition to the short-run generative effect of youth fares, the long-term traffic impact also is significant. By encouraging persons to travel by air at an early age the fares will inculcate habits ... which will be reflected in a ready acceptance of air travel throughout their adult lives."

Another project which is sure to make a mark on the American literary scene is an anthology of Italian-American literature.

Former Editor Scholarship Winner Jane Sefranek, a Cabrini senior, was the recipient of the first place award in the tenth annual Florence Dornblazer Memorial Scholarship Competition.

Miss Sefranek, who was the guest of the Democratic Women at a luncheon in May, heard of the scholarship competition through material received and printed in the Loquiiur last semester.

The competition is sponsored each spring by the Pennsylvania Federation of Democratic Women, and the first place award carried a scholarship in the amount of $250.

The scholarships honor the memory of the late Florence Dornblazer, first Treasurer of the Penna . Federation of Democratic Women, and encourage qualified young women to pursue and develop interest in government and politics.

Because the scholarship competition is open only to juniors, the awards are for use during the students' senior year.

Other qualifications for entering the competition are residence in Pennsylvania, good scholastic standing, participation in the affairs of the Democratic Party. Also, the applicants must be majoring in government, political science, economics or history, or preparing to teach one of these subjects.

Miss Sefranek is a history major and has a minor in She is Secondary _ Education. president of the Cabrini Athletic Association and served as editor-in-chief of the Loquitur last year. She was a dean's list student during her sophomore year.

WOODSTOCK:ThreeDays Of Peace And Music The Woodstock Music and Art Fair was-Joan Baez, Ario Guthrie, Ravi Shankar , Janis Joplin, Canned Heat, Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe and the Fish, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Grateful Dead, Blood, Sweat and Tears, and many others ... falling asleep and waking to music ... dancing "beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free" ... 400,000 beautiful people sharing their food, their water, their grass, their ideas ... a skywriter making a gray peace symbol against a grayer background ... flowers falling from a helicopter after a two-hour rainstorm ... a feeling of unity ... an experience in being alive.

To many outsiders, the Aquarian Exposition was filthy and revolting. But to the citizens of White Lake and "Aquarian City," it was a lesson in human understanding-one not to be forgotten.

At first, the farmers were hostile to the strangelydressed people who had invaded their quiet town. 'Wnen disaster threatened to strike, however, it was they wlio lended helping hands.

Some newspaper accounts neglected to tell of the many farmers who dispensed food and water-at their own expense, and of the many youngsters who volunteered to work in the medical tent, and who stayed behind to help clean up after the festival. When police cars became stuck in the mud, it was the kids who helped push them out.

At one point, a festival official announced to the swelling crowd, "If we are going to make it, you had better remember that the guy .next to you is your brother." Everone did.

Woodstock proved that 400,000 people can live together for three days without one single act of viol'ence being ,committed. It gives one pause for thought.

The spirit of Woodstock was perhaps best expressed

by Max Yasgur, who rented his 600-acre dairy farm to the f es ti val, "I think these kids were wonderful, but I didn't feel this way prior to the event. I originally entered into this as a business contract, but these kids changed my mind . My neighbors and I are the Establishment, but we were treated more decently, more politely by these young people than by any other group we have encountered. I think these kids have made a lot of us feel guilty because we really haven't been fair to them."

There can never be another Woodstock, but, hopefully, its spirit will be kept alive by those who shared in the experience. Then it truly will have been a success.

A subject which is sure to incite heated debate is the tradition of hazing freshmen. While this week's events are still fresh in our minds, it might be wise to reevaluate the practice as it relates to its purpose and its effects. (In order to ~void what may be interpreted as "name-calling" the ~ubJect of maturity is purposely being avoided.) :i'he purpose of hazing, according to its proponents, is to brmg people together. Any disaster will bring the victims into alliance ... do these hazing fans also enjoy tornadoes and tidal waves? A ridiculous analogy, you say ... think about it . . . each of the natural agents leaves an obvious scar, isn't it possible that hazing leaves its own mark? Do we have the right to take the chance that even a single individual might be hurt?

Every year the students consider abolishing the practice of hazing. Then they decide that it could be fun if it is modified and given a new spirit. So it begins. Invariably something goes wrong ... "superiority" goes to some heads ... frightened freshmen, already well into the semester's work, struggle to keep up their spirits while worrying about homework and tests. There must be a better way to initiate students in college.

It is a challenge to the Class of '73 to find that "better way'' and to put it into effect. A real test of class unity and student strength would be to break with a tradition that although it is far removed from the essence of college life' has come to be such an important part of it. '

Loquitur Features Explained LETTERS Bia.frans Starve Dear Students, During the past two years the generosity and kindness of the Philadelphia colleges through her student body, professors and administration, has been greatly appreciated by such organizations as ours .

There have been several orizations on the campuses which have contributed a great deal toward relieving the starvation of the men, women and children of Biafra. We, of Biafra , have been profoundly encouraged by these efforts.

Once again, however, we are compelled to seek your assistance.

The malnutrition of small children and babies, has recently been estimated to increase remarkably within the next few months. Food experts and doctors say that before Christmas of this year, one million more women and children will die in this war torn country unless the war ends or more relief can be given. There is no forseeable end to the war at this time, so relief activities must be stepped up to save these children.

We are sending into Biafra by the end of November 1969 a plane which will carry medical supplies, food, clothing and other essential materials.

In order to meet the financing of this project, we shall need $200,000. "The an ' estimated First Christmas in Biafra" is a project in which we most earnestly need your help . We are asking you if you would be so kind as to aid us in this search for the needed funds.

Once again, we extend our appreciation for all that has been done in the past in behalf of the Biafran cause by _the various organizations on your campus. May joy, health and success be yours, with peace profound.

Sincerely yours, Cyprian P.N. Anyanwu President Association of AmericanBiafran Sympathizers Inc.

In most literary circles, a Feature article is refered to as something creative which arouses interest. As you, the reader, glance over the Feature pages of Loquitor, you will notice that the staff has tried to meet this attribute as well as to add some new points. There is so much happening in the world today that is of prime importance for all of us to be well informed. Contacts ort such basic incidents and or problems as Biafra, the ABM debate, poverty, the racial situation, and many others will help all of us to understand the latest break throughs.

The entertainment world and those who make it up are a constant interest to all of us. Plays, movies, music, books, and television play a major role in our lives, and therefore, belong on this page.

People in general, have much to say about the theories which affect all of us; if we get to know what these individuals are trying to do and why, we may arrive at a greater insight into life. This effort to bring the world to Cabrini and vice-versa will help to eliminate the apathetic atmosphere so often found here.

Creative and Cabrini-focused issues are not to be overlooked. We, the Staff, welcome any and all articles that fit our scope. If you have something to say-critically and/or creatively-please come forward. Comments and suggestions are invited. We hope that we can keep you all informed and interested.

On Change Dear Editor, It seems that each September 1 return here I find new changes. In the past and present these changes have never ceased to be a challenge to my hardy pioneering psyche.

Last year I remember the cramped quarters which have been effectively remedied by the construction of the new dorm .

People In Perspective:

Musical Revolution:

Tommy Our generation, which has witnessed the overthrow of the antiquated "rock n roll" era by the Beatles and the first rock musical, "Hair," has now come forth with the first rock opera. "Tommy," written and performed by The Who, is a revolutionary new concept in contemporary music which cannot be overlooked.

The plot begins where Captain Walker, presumably missing in action, comes home after ten years to find his wife with her lover. An argument musically takes place in front of ten year old Tommy who has never seen his father before. His parents become terrified when they realize their son has been exposed to this immoral adult situation. Tommy is told repeatedly that he didn't hear or see and should never speak of the incident.

Consequently, poor Tommy becomes deaf, dumb, and blind with the exception of his mirror reflection.

Although the boy is put through many traumatic experiences, he ultimately comes out ahead, being the world's champion pin ball wizard (he plays merely by intuition). Finally, his mother cures him of his problems by smashing the mirror into which Tommy is gazing.

This double album is on Decca label and should be_ of interest not only to music lovers but to art enthusiasts as well. A booklet with the words and some extraordinary abstract representations of the scenes is included. The Who, a group which has been around since the early Beatles, have taken two years to present us with this masterpiece of rock entertainment.

Buy this experience in music, and "gather your wits and hold on fast, your mind must learn to roam."

DavidFrost

by Kathleen L. teck "David Frost is taking over American TV ... at least 90 minutes of it." This was the comment made by numerous critics throughout the United States and Britain when they saw the Group W Productions new syndicated talk show. Due to the versatility of its host, "The David Frost Show" grew in popularity almost overnight.

Although he may be a newcomer to many people on this side of the Atlantic, David ¡ Frost is one of England's most noted television personalities.

He started his career with a current affairs show, "This Week," in London and proceeded to do several satirical reviews with a London cabaret, The Blue Angel, gaining tremendous nightclub experience. Later, matching wits with Ned Sherrin, BBC prnducer Frost helped to create the satirical hit "That Was The Week That Was" which ran the With the outbreak of World American circuit during the War II, Ho seized his chance 1963 and 1964 seasons.

Ho Chi Minh: A Political Biography

by Jean Lacouture Random House, 1968 Revied by Jane J. Sefranek A biography of a living man is perhaps more objective than after the the same written man died. It is interesting, therefore, to read Jean Lacouture's 1967 picture of the late North Vietnamese leader.

Ho Chi Minh, founder of the Indochinese Communist Party and the Vietminh, had been a militant socialist since the days of the Russian Revolution. Even before 1917 Ho was an ardent nationalist. He left Indochina in 1911 because he considered the French colonials over-oppressive.

Serving a cabin boy on a French liner, Ho was able to visit Mediterranean cities, Boston, New York, and London. In all these ports, Names 10 To Faculty he took mental notes on the conditions of the poor.

sight, and sharp intellect, Frost presents a show which is not only entertaining but also informative. "The aim of every TV program ought to be to leave the audience a little more aware, a little more alert, a little more alive; one has to decide whether TV is a stimulant or a sleeping pill.''

Not to be overlooked is David's reputation for attracting a variety of well-known personalities. It is unlikely that many people will forget how he handled the ABM debate between Senator Ribicoff and Senator Charles Percy, or his candid discussion with the notorious Adam Clayton Powell.

Also, Rex Harrison, the superstar of Broadway an movies, made his first appearance on television as Frost's guest . One of the last, live appearances of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy was on "The Tonight Show" with David substituting for the celebrated Johnny Carson. Among an innumerable list are the following examples of people who frequent "The David Frost Show:' Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith, President Nixon, Eugene McCarthy, King Hussein, The Archbishop of Canterbury, Hubert Humphrey, Ronald Reagen, George Wallace, George Brown, Joe Namath, Alan King, Yoko Ono and the Beatles, Jacqueline Susann, Patty Duke, Peter Falk, Bob Hope, Ali McGraw, and John Hartman. Private, prerecorded interviews with such noted men as Charles, Prince of Wales, and Louis Washlansky proved most effective when aired on his show.

Therefore. with his fresh outlook and overpowering charm, David Frost looks to t-he future with a gleaming eye. He had planned to make a movie with the late Rev. James A. Pike, but now new plans are in the making. He has made his mark on the television industry and will continue to do so. Always with some idea formulating in his mind, David Frost will continue to astound everyone he comes into contact with because he is what he is-David Frost.

Troubled By Exam Jitters? studying this problem for several years, started a pilot project last winter at Iowa State to help students who experience anxiety when test time rolls around.

She organized, through the counseling service, a small class of students to participate in a seven-week program of what might well be called behavior therapy for the test- ¡ anxious student. All were volunteers. The class was a good cross-section of the student body including men and women-freshmen to graduate students. These are not poorly motivated nor low-ability students.

Young people with this problem are in the same boat as those persons who cannot stand up before an audience to make a speech. Reactions are much the same-headaches, shakiness, stomach upset, sweaty palms, or even some experience of mental black outs.

The Mets Did It To the editor: Despite the jubilation of finally having a winning team to support (the N.Y. Mets , that is) this sports buff feels downcast.

The Cabrini hockey team is dying.

Field hockey requires eleven players on a team, not to mention the subs often badly needed for strategy reasons, hobbling legs, and worn out lungs .

Right now the average number of students appearing for practice Monday through Thursday is down to six, enough for half a team.

This Wednesday Cabrini has hopes of sending a team to Eastern Baptist College for a scrimmage . At the present standing , the "Cabrini team" will include four or five E.B.C .. girls . Or maybe extracurricular hockey at C.C . will just be cancelled for the year.

Late classes shouldn't be a deterrent to team membership.

Come when you can, even if only from 4:30 to 5:00. Cabrini is desperate.

We've never had a terribly good hockey team, and we hardly ever win games .

But can't we keep trying?

Teacher Exam Dates Set Princeton, N.J . College seniors preparing to teach school may take the National Teacher Examinations on any of the four different test dates announced by Educational T~sting Service, a non-profit organization which prepares and administers this testing program.

New dates for the testing of prospective teachers are: November 8, January 31, April 4 and July 18. The tests will be given at nearly 500 locations throughout the United States, ETS said.

Results of the National Teacher Examinations are used by many large school districts as o.ne of several factors in the selection of new teachers and by several states for certification or licensing of teachers. , Some colleges also require all seniors preparing to teach to take the examinations.

The school systems and state departments of education which use the examination results are

designated in the Bulletin of Information for Candidates .

On each full day of testing , prospective teachers may take the Common Examinations, which measure their professional preparation and general cultural background , and a Teaching Ar e a Examination which measures mastery of the subject they expect to teach .

Prospective teachers should contact the school systems in which they seek employment, or their colleges , for specific advice on which examinations to take and on which dates they should be taken.

The Bulletin of Information for Candidates contains a list of test centers , and information about the examinations, as well as a Registration Form.

Copies may be obtained from college placement officers, school personnel, or directly from National Teacher Examinations , Box 911, Educational Testing Service , Princeton , New Jersey 08540.
