''Iakilg Careof Business" by Sue O'Hagan Cabrini College will soon take a major step in a new career direction. In the fall semester of 1977, a business administration major will officially be made a part of Cabrini's present curriculum. The program has been designed to provide the skills necessary for successful management or participation in the administration of a business organization. It has been noted that business is of prime interest to college students. As part of his work here, Mr. Rexford G. Moon, Jr., consultant from the Academy for Educational Development, outlined major programs of interest to college students. Business, health-allied studies and communications were high on
the list. Until recently, Cabrini has only offered the two latter programs. The possibility of a business administration program has been discussed by the Master Planning Committee for a number of years. Definitive action has never been taken. Until now! Initiative on the part of Mr. Moon and the administration has turned possibility into reality. Consequently, other bachelor of arts programs were studied in the initial phases. According to Dean Brown, it was thought that a "reasonable job" could be done in dealing with the matter. Basically, the program has been "on its feet" from the ver~ beginning.
"It was more a matter of defining the program in a sequence of courses, than anything else," says Dean Brown. Most of the courses to be offered are already established parts of the Cabrini 's course offerings. Some of these would include: Accounting I, 11; Introduction to Computers; Principles of Micro- and Macroeconomics; and Statistical Techniques I, II. Business Law and Business Management and Organization are two newly designed courses for the program. Initially, part-time faculty with expertise in these areas will be hired. It is estimated that by 1979, full-time faculty members will be needed for the program. _(cont.p. 2}
Woman explains
''Why I want to be a priest'' by BarbaraPolomano In 1980, priests may be wearing dresses and pantyhose. An outrageous statement you say? Why, not at all! Most women do wear dresses and pantyhose. And it just might be that women will be priests with in the next few years. Mary C. Boys, a member of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, is one of many women looking forward to this possibility of reform in the Catholic Church. Ms. Boys spoke to students here on "Why I want to be a priest." In her talk, she stressed that the priesthood must "grow, be transformed and re-examined." Ms. Boys named four reasons why she feels women should be ordained. Her first reason is actually a simple question. "Why not? There is no
compelling, theological reason ¡ why women should not be," she says. The recent statement of the Vatican,
which rejected the notion of women becoming priests, was just arestatementof the policy which has always been in existence, Ms. Boys says. "It is theology that just doesn't hold up." She said that most theologians consider this latest Vatican decision to be a "poor piece of theology" and that seemingly, they (the Vatican) "are down to their last argument." Ms. Boys tells of 15 men who felt they had the answer to her "Why not?" She says that last June, the Pontifical Biblical Commission, consisting of 15 male Bibiical scholars, voted and declared on the basis of their research that there was nothing in Scripture which should serve as a bar to the ordination of women. Ms. Boys agrees. She says, "One can't move from a simple equation of what
