Minstrel ShowIsAll In TheFamily Saint Patrick's Day, the day when everybody wears green and claims to be Irish, was celebrated here at Cabrini with the 8th annual Irish Minstrel Show. Dr. Joseph Feighan and Miss Joanne Rondini were the moderators, and Joanie Urello tp.e director. The actors did not necessarily have to be Irish, as long as they possessed good (?) singing voices and sense of humor. The cast was really wonderful as far as donating their time and energies · to make the show a success. The songs, all hauntingly Irish, were either hysterically funny or tearfully sac;l. Many of them Just vaguely reminded us of our beloved teachers. The highlight of tne show, though, was the . very funny sketch on the Bunk '~i· family in Ireland. Most important of all, however, was that while the show was entertaining and light-hearted. it did manage to carry the undertone of the trouble in Ireland and its desperate need for help.

The interdepartmental major committee of the Student Academic Council is presently working ori the interdepartmental majors in the area of Environmental Studies, Urban Studies, and American Studies. These areas will enable a student to cross traditional boundry lines and obtain a specific degree in one of these areas of study. To establish such a program we will have to have the support of the student body. Also we will have to rely heavily on Eastern College for areas that Cabrini is weak in, such as ANNA TULLI AND KATHY FUSCO Political Science and Economics. ------ --- - -·-- --- - · Cabrini's lack of language malogy departments so instead of In the near future our Comjor this is temporarily impossihaving 9 in philosophy and 12 mittee will also be working on in theology, there would be 15 ble. the establishment of an individWe have been receiving ideas or 18 credits required between ualized major here at Cabrini. for the Summer Study Abroad the two; 2) English credits This major would be geared to from colleges in the would be lowered from 12 to 6, Program the individual student who area, and with the cooperation and 3) foreign language rewould formulate his own area of these schools and interested quirements will be reduced or of study with the aid of an asstudents, Cabrini may, in the you will have the option of signed faculty member.
