NATIONAL ANTI-POLUTION
DAY APRIL 22nd
March 25, 1970
Beginning with the Fall semester of 1970, Cabrini College will begin the implementation and expansion of its Department of Fine arts. Through the recommendation of Sister Barbara, Vice-President of Academic Affairs arid the Chairman of Academic Affairs and the Chairmanship of Dr. Carl Suppa, the Fine Arts Department will ,now include Art, Music and Drama. It is planned to nave an increase of courses available to the student each semester. Many of these will be electives. Thus, presenting the opportunity to Cabrini students a well balanced and varied cultural academic program in Fine Arts. Since my area of teaching is Art I wish'. her to speak to you of that area only.
Cabrini; and Warner Bros. Sign Contract Cabrini College has made a special arrangement with Warner Brothers, Inc., to inaugurate a campus film festival of fourteen full-length top calliber motion pictures during the 1970-71 school year. Kappa Sigma Omega volunteered to . be the sponsoring body for the contract. Representative films include Camelot, Bonnie and Clyde, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, A Star is Born, and 9 more of comparable quality. The reason for the sudden break-through revolves around the fact that Warner Brothers is now renting out films at a price based on the number of people actually viewing the film -rather than a set rental per film. Therefore, previously exhorbitant fees have been reduced in reasonable mm1mums. The price of admission on campus will be fifty cents for members of the college community and seventy-five cents for guests. The student government has agreed to absorb any extra costs which may be incurred in order to provide this community service. Kappa Sigma Omega will be able . to exhibit each film several times over a three day period, thus allowing for maximum e~posure to visitors, students, faculty, and all other members of the college community . The schedule of specific titles will appear in the 1970-71 calendar and reviews of each film will be printed in Loquitur prior to each showing.
In the past we have had only two Art courses, viz., Art Appreciation and Art Methods. Beginning Next Fall the program in that area alone will be such that at the end of her senior year a student will have accumulated thirty credits. Over the four years ten different art courses at three credits each will be offered. The courses will occur in blocks so that if a student is unable to take a specific course at one time she will be able to do so at another time. A student at Cabrini can now major in Fine Arts. This will be possible through the accumulativP credits ¡ in Art, Musi.,::, Drama and the other required academic subjects. This new academic degree opens up an entirely new world for Cabrini College and for the students at Cabrini. Two new members will be added to the faculty of the Fine Arts Department. One will be in Art, the other in Drama. These will be formally announced by the administration at the proper time. The courses in Art which will be presented at Cabrini this Fall will be detailed in the next catalogue. However, in order that you might be able to have an idea of what the program will be like, the course titles and a brief description of each course is given here.
Academic Calendar Set After considering the opinions submitted by faculty and Student Government Association, Sister Barbara, Academic Dean, has finalized the essential elements of the academic calendar for 1970-71. The alternatives considered were, in the case of the first semester, starting classes before Labor Day (along with Villanova) and beginning Christmas Vacation on Dec. 18 vs. starting classes after Labor Day and . ending Dec. 23. In the case of the second semester, the choice was between beginning later January (1/25) with a 6-day Easter recess vs. beginning earlier with a 11 day recess. The final choice, therefore appears as follows: FIRST REGISTRATION Monday, Sep. 7 (Labor Day) Upperclassmen registration Tuesday, Sept. 8 First day of classes Wednesday, Sept. 9 Last day of classes Wednesday, Dec. 16 Reading days Dec. 17-18 Final exams Dec. 19 (Sat.), 21, 22, 23
"Man And His Religious Art Through The Ages." This is an exposition of man's meanderings in arriving at God. Through the archeological discoveries of art forms from "Homo Sapiens" to the Middle Ages, (30,000 B.C. ¡to 12th century A.D.,) investigation is made of man's belief in God through the study of His art forms. An insight into aspects of Salvation History not found in -the Bible but obtained through the study of art. "Evaluation of Gothic Art With The Contemporaneous Scene." In this course a study is made of architecture, sculpture and painting of the Middle Ages from the 12th century to the 15th century, investigating the influence, if any, with the present. "The Baroque Phenomenon In Painting, Sculpture and Architecture." Here an in-depth stu-
dy of Baroque painting of 17th and 18th centuries is made,touching upon sculpture and architecture as well. This course is presented in coordination with and supplements Dr . Suppa's course in Baroque Music. "The Renaissance, A Christian Revival of Pagan Golden Age." This course is a detailed study of painting and sculpture of the Italian Renaissance, its relationship to the Greek Golden Age and the present. "The French Impressionists And The Post-Impressionists." This course includes the study of Newo-classicism, the French Academy, the causes of artistic rebellion, the "Nouvel Art," birth of Impressionism, its rejection and final acceptance. This course deals solely with paintings and the artists of the period. "Art On The American Scene From the Revo1ution to The Present." Here we have a study of painting in the U.S.A., its beginnings during the Revolutionary War to the present. It includes the portraitists of 18th cent., Primitives, Romantics, the Hudson River School, the Ash Can School, the N eoclassicists, Cubism, Surrealism, Abstractionism, Pop Art, Op Art, Psychedelic Art and the revial of "Nouvel Art.'' This could be an excellent collateral course for those students studying American Lit. and/or American History . The following three courses are Studio courses and need no explanation. 'Their titles are self -explanatory . They are: "Studio Course In Drawing," "Watercolor Painting," and "Oil Painting.'' With this renewal and updating of the Art Courses it is hoped that a new and vigorous interest in Art on the part of the students will become evident. Evident through such activities as a well organized Art Club and more frequent and better campus art exhibits.
Mrs. Gough Reports On Library Progress By Carolyn Gough As charter member of Tristate College Library Cooperative (TCLC) Cabrini College Library is very proud of the progress that this organization has made under the capable guidance of Sr . Mary Dennis Lynch, Librarian of Rosemont College. We were awarded a $20,000 government grant this year for the purchase of 16mm films: they will be housed at P.M.C ., but will be available to all of the members on inter-library loan. One of the current pro- . jects of TCLC is a compilation of a union list of the film holding of all of the member libraries, so in order to qualify for participation in this cooperative endeavor, we are in the process of developing an A-V department here in Holy Spirit Library. We are fortunate this year to have received two very gen(Continued on Page 4)
