A big change on Cabrini's campus is the new Student's Activity Center located in the lower level of Sacred Heart Hall. The Master Planning Committee planned the center in such a way that the students are not limited to one room on their free time. The biggest addition is the aew student snack-bar, the Wigwam. "Students are reacting favorably to the Wigwam. Everybody thinks it's great. Students have wanted a snack bar for a while. I think they're happy now," says Bernadette McCabe, who helped to organize the snack bar. Organized by students Mary DiJ oseph, Bernadette McCabe, and Jim Morrow, and Director of Buildings and Grounds Mike Caranfa, the Wigwam held its grand opening on Monday, Sept. 12. It is open from 6:30" p.m. - 11 :00 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Students can congregate at the Wigwam and when the munchies occur, snacks, pizza, and sodas can be purchased. Sr. Sharon, Dean of Students, says: "The Wigwam has proven to be successful in such a short time since its opening." Other additions include a TV room where students can now enjoy their favorite soap operas, a game room for students who care to engage in more mind-stimulating activities such as chess or backgammon, and an entertainment center, which is fully equipped with an air hockey table, a bowling machine, and five new pinball machines. In keeping with the academic aspects of the school, there is also a quiet lounge for those who care to engage in a little last-minute cramming or between-class studying. The new Student Activity Center has met with much approval and seems to be an overall success.
Eng/com majorslearnof jobs by Gene Hutter The English/Communications Department, under the direction of Dr. Jerome Zurek, is sponsoring a series of seminars on alternate Fridays throughout the academic year. Four seminars have been scheduled for the fall semester to introduce people involved in the various media. The first seminar on Sept. 23, dealt with job hunting. "Finding a job is the biggest job," expressed Dr. Zurek, chairman of the English/Communications Department. "You should invest time and money in proportion to the type of job you are seeking." Dr. Zurek is using two texts in conjunction with the seminars: WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE and ENGLISH: THE PRE-PROFESSIONAL MAJOR. These books will aid the prospective job hunter in discovering
what a person wants to do and how he might go about doing it. The Career Seminar will present "Careers in Journalism and Theater" on Sept. 30. Ms. Cabrini Lepis ('61) will be the featured speaker sharing her experience in off-Broadway plays while actively working as a journalist. Planned is a seminar on "Women in Executive Positions." Also, a seminar on "Corporate Newspapers" will show that there are many pos1t1ons open to English/Communications students beyond the obvious newspaper jobs. The Career Seminar Program will work closely with Rev. Thomas Piechocinski, chaplain and coordinator of the campus counseling services. The counseling service will provide materials, speakers and job interviewers for the college community.
