Remodeled Cafeteria:

Eating will be more pleasurable

BY BARBARA POLOMANO Cabrini students can slop singing the cafeteria blues.

Major improvements for the cafeteria are now in the planning stage. _Dr . Dorothy Brown, vice-president for academic affairs, says that the plans will be carried out "hopefully within a few weeks."

Work on the cafeteria will be divided into three areas: • Kitchen equipment will be upgraded.

• Qµality of food will be improved - what is supposed to be hot will be served hot, what is supposed to be cold will be cold. New kitchen equipment will also aid in this area.

• The front of the cafeteria, both the eating section and the counter section will be improved.

The entire cafeteria is being redesigned. "We plan to clean up the entire section where the dirty dishes are put back. We would like to have it so that trays are slid in a slot that goes directly into the kitchen so that dirty dishes will not pile up in the eating section of the cafeteria," explained Dr. Brown.

New blinds- er--ikapes - for- thewindows will also be ordered.

The floors and windows will be repaired. No plans for the walls are definite yet. Either they will be painted or decorated with perhaps paintings of some sort, or they will be tiled.

"Other additions we would like to make are to the back of the cafeteria where most students

thrown "n tlw floor,' Dr. Brown said.

Dr. Brown added that improvements may be made to the foyer directly outside the cafeteria to also make that more attractive.

Dr . . Brown also explained that

all of these changes won't happen overnight. The process should be a gradual one, with one step taken at a time. Work will probably begin over the Easter holidays, when the designer is expected. Most of the _ work will be completed during the

summer, so that the new cafeteria will be complete for the fall semester.

Why all the sudden changes you may ask?

Dr . Brown explained that last semester, questionnaires were, sent to all students who had completed only one semester here.

Food service was one of the items mentioned on the questionnaire.

That was the area in which students seemed to have the most complaints .

"It showed that we had to do something. So we put it at the top of our priority list, the master planning list," Dr. brown said.

"The size of the cafeteria is plentiful if it is handled properly .

Saga food service will help us," she added .

Money for the remodeling will not come from tuition but from the . special project funds from the board of trustees, the same place funds were acquired for the Wig Warn, the TV room, and the game room.

Coordinating the program will be a subcommittee for master _planning composed of faculty , administration, and students. Aiding the committee wi11 be Saga food service and the student food committee .

"The appearance of the cafeteria is deteriorating . Machinery is outdated. We want to clear all this up so that eating will generally be a more pleasurable experience there." Dr. Brown said.

"Myth" challenged

BY LORETTA ALIOTO What is mental illness? "The question is simple but the answer is very complicated," says Dr. Julius Wishner, professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.

To answer this question, Dr. - Wishner will present a lecture in the Mansion on April 12, at 8 p.m.

At the lecture, Dr. Wishner will present a concept of psychopathology, which is an analogue of the concept of somatic psychopathology. To the non-psychology major, psychopathology is the science of diseases of the mind.

Dr. Wlshner is the author of numerous articles, chapters and books in the area of experimental psychopathology. Dr. Wishner was also a visiting professor at Swarthmore, Oxford and Harvard Universities. He is currently doing research in psychological loci of the disfunction ·of schizophrenics and other psychopathologies and will include some of his findings in his speech.

Dr. Wishner's lecture, "Is Mental Illness a Myth?" will question Thomas Szasz, a leading experimenter in mental health studies, is that the whole idea of mental illness is a myth. In his Jjook, Szasz considers mental illness to be a misnomer ,and Szasz also believes psychotherapy is an . effective method of helping people, not to recover from "illness," but rather

to learn about themselves, others and life.

Dr. Wishner disagrees with Szasz, saying, "Mental illness really does exist and is not just a label. How the mentally ill should be treated is a question we are terribly ignorant about."

He also adds "In some ways the term hospital is a misnomer for waht actually goes on in mental hospitals a more realistic name would be custodial institutions."

"The humane idea," says Dr. Wishner, "is to get people back into the community, but society is not ready for them."

Dr. Wishner's reaction to the works of Thomas Szasz and D.L. Rosenhan, who also suggests mental illness is a myth, can be stated that "to deny the existence of psychopathology is evidence of one's own senses."

Dr. Wishner continues to say that people are put into mental institutions for three reasons.

First, if their behavior becomes intolerable to the community in which they live, second, if they threaten themselves physically ; and third, if the person is dissatisfied with his own behavior and thoughts or dreams.

People get hospitalized when their behavior is too obstreperous," says Dr. Wishner.

Dr. Wishner questions whether hospitalization is an appropriate

means of handling these types of people. He is not against mental institutions and feels they are necessary but believes they should serve the purpose of tending to the individual who is sick. "A person is often hospitalized to protect his family from suffering," says Dr. Wishner.

Dr. Wlshner feels that there are distinct schizophrenics in our society and therefore a dichotomy between the "ill" and the "well" does exist. Dr. Wishner also points out that it is true that those with a mental illness such as schzophrenia are not prevalent only among lower classes . The rich can also become mentally ill, but they have their private hospitals.

Dr. Wishner agrees with the studies of Professor James Murphy, who says, "it is not the labeling that creates the insane, but the insanity that creates the labelling."

Dr. Wishner believes in the concept that mental illness in its symtomology is relative to the cultural values of the society in which it is found. Dr. Wishner also thinks that the psychiatry profession, as a whole, is a relatively new science and the category of mental illness perpetuates the power of the psychologists and psychiatrists who treat such illness, yet are ignorant in the treatments.

Funds for the renovation were provided by the Parents Program and the Makoski Family of Bethlehem, Pa. The center is open for use by any campus organization upon request and appointment. (photo by B.

Workshops planned to better interviews

BY SUE O'HAGAN

"The interview," says Mr. Anthony Tomasco, professor of psychology, "is the bridge between you and the job."

The problem most of the times, according to Tomasco, is that students are unprepared for their job interviews.

"Too often," he says, "students approach the job interview with the attitude of being themselves."

This approach fails because the interviewer usually can catch the prospective employee off guard.

This can happen in a number of ways, explains Tomasco.

Such questions as "How will you be an asset to this company?" or "What can you tell me about yourself?" usually do the trick. These and other techniques cause increased anxiety in the interview situation since the average applicant is unprepared for them.

The key for a successful job interview, according to Tomasco, is twofold: "A little planning and a basic knowledge of what to expect."

Says Tomasco, "You can have all the credentials and polished ' resumes imaginable, but they mean nothing in the light of an unsuccessful interview."

To combat the problem of the un-

derprepared job applicant, Tomasco plans to hold a workshop "The Do's and Don'ts of the Job Interview." His objective is to provide as much information as possible about interviewing.

Tomasco stresses that he is no job counselor, but that he does have plenty of experience both as an interviewer and an interviewee.

Through role playing exercises, private discussions and student interaction within the workshops, Tomasco hopes that pa"rticipating students will gain the necessary confidence and experience to "make the right impression in the interview.''

The workshops will be held in the Rudy Rooymans Counseling Center.

The first session is scheduled for Thursday, April 6 at 3:30 p.m.

Because Tomasco wants to keep the meetings small, the sessions will be limited to eight persons.

Depending upon the initial response, future meetings will be scheduled for Thursdays, April 13, 20, and 27, also at 3:30 p.m.

Interested students are asked to contact Mrs. Theresa Collins in the dean of students office for a workshop appointment.

Little Theater resounds

BY STEPHEN PEDANO

The Theater Development Committee agreed unanimously to allocate funds for a .new sound sys I em in the Little Theater after a Cabrini student effectively presented his comprehensive report to the group.

Michael Heaps, a Cabrini student and employee of Tech Hi-Fi, was asked by Dan Perna to compile an inventory of the type of equipment available and estimates of price as part of his interim Theater Design Course.

Heaps shopped six local outlets objectively for prices and quality.

Within three days, Heaps had checked all sources and wrote up a proposal including prices, warranties and prime choices. He was then called in by the committee which authorized up to $1,000 for the system after the first two-hour meeting.

"There is no other money in the general funding except the budget for theater through the communications department," said Committee Chairman Carolyn Gough, co-founder of the group.

Heaps managed to combine, in his presentation, the elements of high quality and economy making suggestions of choice.

"He knows what he's talking about," said Mrs. Gough. She went on, "After the completion of Michael's presentation, Dr. Feighan moved to allocate funds.

Dr. Zurek seconded the motion leading the committee to a unanimous decision.''

Mrs. Gough explained that the funds handled by the committee come from several sources. Private -donations account for a large amount of funds received. Committee-sponsored functions, the largest of which was the 1977

Jablonski auction, have been successful examples of the committee's earnest strides toward realizing its goals. Formal benefit performances of the adult theater productions began in the Spring of 1977 to establish new friendships with Cabrini's theater and reaffirm old ones. The second annual benefit will be held May 6 of this year.

Heaps has held demonstrations in the use of the new equipment for members of the Theater Lab. The normal amount of problems arose in the onset of using the more sophisticated system, but Sound and Music Director, Grace Armideo has ironed out most of the kinks.

The system, which was installed in February, was a special asset to the Spring Children's Theater production.

Hickman holds meeting

BY RON KATKOCIN

The new Student Government Association, headed by President Leslie Hickman, had its first student body meeting on Thurs., Mar. 9. Only 40 people, 12 of whom were SGA representives, attended the meeting. During the brief meeting, which was held in the gymnasium, Hickman discussed three topics of concern.

As of Mar. 6 the Cabrini College Choraf Ensemble was officially dropped from the student handbook as an SGA funded organization. The Choral Ensemble, which had been funded previously bo both SGA and the Fine .

Arts department, was found ineligible for SGA money because it has a "no-cut" policy, mandatory auditions, and because members receives scholastic credits, which are free of charge.

"Big Top '78" Set for April

BY LISA SHERWOOD

Come one, Come all, to the greatest carnival on campus!

Cabrini College has come of age · and a committee made up of alumni members is currently planning the Friends of Cabrini Benefit under the theme "Big Top, 78," to be celebrated on Sunday, April 23, from 4 to 7 p.m.

Co-chairpersons of this year's committee include Mrs. Andrew Corcoran, '69, Mrs. Thomas J. Balshi, '69, and Mrs. Donald Zager, '64. Previous committees have been comprised of trustees, but the alumni felt it was time to do their part for the school.

The committee has planned some changes to attract a broader audience.

The prizes have been expanded to include 21 gifts which are listed on the admission ticket. All will have a carnival theme attachment, for example six Waterford cocktail glasses filled with CocaCola, or a gold popcorn stickpin.

Other · prizes include an oriental

Heacock says that he selected Cabrini because he was told that a degree in criminal justice was available through the in-

dividualized major program.

Dr. Margaret Reher, associat professor of religion, and Sr. Catherine De Franco, registrar, are cited by Hutter as having offered to him the most help in achieving his educational goals.

-Choral honors Cabrini

BY CINDI DeRITIS

The Cabrini College Choral Ensemble honored the college on its twentieth anniversary with their presentation of an all sacred concert on March 19 in the chapel.

Selections in the Palm Sunday performance were directed by the college's choral ensemble director, Ms. Lucy Carroll. Included in the program were original selections "Psalm 90," written by Ms. Carroll, "The Lord is My Light," a soprano solo; and "Give Ear, 0 Shepherd of Israel," sung by guest baritone, Keith Kirkneer, of Temple University.

The concert concluded with the Choral Ensemble, Madrigal Singers, guest artist and t~e Concert Choir of Bucks County College singing in unison Giovanni Pergolesi's "Magnificat." Choral Ensemble members, Terry Nar• done, '79 and Eileen Casper, '79, sang solos from the "Misericordia," a selection included in Pergolesi's "Magnificat."

Professors debate ·treaty

by Sue O'Hagan

The first of the two Panama Canal treaties was ratified by the United States Seante on Thursday, March 16 by a narrow 68-32 margin.

Only 67 votes were needed to reach the two-thirds majority for ratification ·of this treaty, known as the Neutrality Treaty.

Approval of this first agreement guarantees permanent neutrality of the canal as well as the guarantee that the U.S. can use and defend the canal after 1999 .

The latter portion is a result of numerous amendments and reservations made to the original treaties.

The vote on the next treaty, the · actual Panama Canal Treaty, is set for April 10. Ratification of this tr .eaty would grant Panama sovereignty of the canal effective Dec. 31, 1999.

Though the ratification of the Panama Canal Treaty promises to be as "controversial" as that of the Neutrality Treaty, the Senate stresses that the ratification of the first treaty does not necessarily

imply ratification of the second in April.

In time with the Senate vote and the issue of the Panama Canal treaties, a debate on the pros and cons of the issue was held in the Library Conference Center on Wed., March 15, the night before the ratification of the first pact.

Joseph P. O'Grady, an authority on American Foreign Policy and a professor of history at LaSalle College, argued against the ratification of the Panama Canal treaties.

His arguments were mainly economic and military in nature.

He claims "we need the canal as ·a vital communications and transPRO portation link between the Atlantic Dr. Robert E.

Students guest on .TV talk show

BY RON KATKOCIN

Seven Cabrini students from various classes represented the College on the "Joel A. Spivak Show," a television talk show, on Thurs., March 16. The topic of discussion dealt with college life.

Those attending the show were Judy Clay '78 Leslie Hickman '79, Maria Pia Carusi '79, Ron Katkocin '80, Lyn Scott '81, Ken Fiacco '81, and Jack Duffy '81.

The panal, consisting of Spivak, Dr. Anthony Campolo, Professor of Sociology at Eastern College , Jerome Bert, Board of Trustees member at Cheyney State College , Mitchel Blood, President of the senior class at the University of Pennsylvania, and Jazel Salvo, President of the student government association at Rosemont College.

A number ,f area colleges were represented on the program . Included among these were Cabrini College, Temple University, Chestnut Hill College, LaSalle College , St. Joseph's College , Immaculata College, Delaware County Community College , Eastern College, Penn , Rosemont , and Cheyney State .

Many subjects pertinent to college life were discussed. The first topic on the agenda was student apathy. This dealt with the recent demonstrations at Penn and Cheyney State.

Campolo, trying to agitate the audience, maintained that students today are more "selfish" than they were during the sixties.

He said that they care less about social issues and more about furthering their own careers.

This led right into the next topic-financing college. Spivak asked members of both the panel and audience what college they went to and how they managed to pay for it. Many students agreed that college was indeed a heavy financial burden and that is the reason why they seem more selfish . Students said that they had to further their own 1·areers either because they put a great deal of work into college or because they had large debts to pay upon graduation .

The most interesting discussion concerned the value of a liberal arts education as opposed to specialization. There were mixed opinions over this, but the general consensus of the audience seemed to favor specialization over liberal arts because it supposedly helped in procuring a job .

The final topic dealt with dormitory living and college fraternities and sororities. A very small minority in the audience belonged to either a fraternity or a sorority.

The majority of the students seemed to be adverse to both fraternities and sororities saying that they tended to form cliques in colleges.

Other discussions concerning dormitory living dealt with sex and co-ed dorms .

The program was chosen as one of the "Best of Joel A. Spivak Shows" and will be aired again on Sun. , April 9.
