A special day for special people

BY JOYCE PATITUCCI

The persistent rains might have saturated the grounds, but the spirits of the participants of the Special Olympics had been waterproofed by their hope and determination .

Friday, March 28th, many of the Olympians arrived on campus to compete in the basketball competi. tion scheduled for that night. One final, four semi-final, and two exhibition games took place in Cabrini's gym.

Saturday morning at 8:30, Roxanne Lucchesi, Mike Sulewski and many others worked feverishly, as they had all week, to gather buggers. One hour later, the threehundred Olympians paraded into the gym for the opening ceremonies. Sister Mary Louise Sullivan , president of the college, gave the opening remarks , and Father Jack Replogle, chaplain, gave the opening prayer, which he had written himself. "It was a special-made prayer for the Special Olympics," said Kathy Mignona, chairperson of the opening ceremonies. Because of the rain, it was impossible to have the

n1mers carry the Olympic torch.

The Radnor High School Marching Band played the National Anthem, sung by Lore Kearney, while the American flag was raised. "Radnor was superb,'' said Kathy Brust. "I think everyone had goose-bumps ."

At 10:30, the Run, Dribble, and Shoot contests began. There were five separate contests for five different age groups, 12-13, 14-15, 16-17, 18-19, and the 20-29, 30 category. All the special olympi ans were awarded medals regardless of what place they

celed, since the magician had her baby the day before, and muddy grounds made it too treacherous to have the pony rides.

Some events planned for the soccer field were just as easily held indoors. The K-9 demonstration was given in the Woodcrest Smoker between 11:30 and 12:30.

At 2:00, a marshall-arts exhibition was presented by the Amkor Karate Club of Aston, Penna .

Lunch and refreshments were provided courtesy of Gino's and Stouffers. Many of the athletes were too pre-Occupied with their medals to think about lunch . "I'm too excited to eat," said Joanne , while demonstrating her gymnastic abilities. "I won a gold medal, just like I said I would."

Ken Fazio, Mary Goldner, and Lorraine Harris donned costumes and clown make-up , much to the ·. delight of the Athletes as well as . the buggers and spectators . ·. · · ~ Special guest appearan~es were c made by Eagles' coach Dick Ver.· meil and the mascot of the 76ers, Big Shot.

Other activities included a marshall arts exhibit and a K-9 demonstration. (photo by Jim Lawlor)

Housing plans underway

BY DENISE J. TERIFAY Plans for next year's housing are well underway according to Sister Sharon Morano, Dean of Students, and Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, president.

"There will be three additional resident houses built by September. These buildings will accommodate 23 students as opposed to the 20 students that the present houses accommodate," Sullivan said .

"While the existing houses compromised space for the house idea, the new houses will compromise the house idea for space," Morano said. "The outside of the new houses will be basically like that of the existing houses . However, the first floor will be a bi-level and the bathrooms will be changed to allow more than one person to use them at one time," Morano said.

"The type of furniture we will need for the new houses has already been specified. _We are now in the process of getting bids. The final decision will be made by an appointed committee," Morano said.

When asked if getting the furniture approved by a committee would hold up the delivery of the furniture, Morano said, "We specified a deadline for the bids which is Aug.15. We've told the companies that if they can't meet this deadline then

finished. "I feel so good," beamed Billy, too excited to give his last name. "Look at my medal. I came in first."

Throughout the day, those whose events were over occupied themselves in the arts and crafts room.

The magic show had to be can-

they shouldn't submit a bid at all."

Concerning the living arrangements, Morano said, "All freshmen will live in Woodcrest, although seniors can opt to stay there . The houses will be reserved for upperclassmen. One of the houses will be for men, but this doesn't mean it will be one of the ones being built. We're currently thinking of the middle house where Gus Nicoletti, dean of resident life, lives."

When asked what would be done with the houses over the summer, Morano said , "We try to use the houses over the summer for two reasons: 1) if we rent the houses over the summer, it provides the college with extra income; and 2) it gives us extra security service because there are no vacant houses." Sullivan said, "We're preparing brochures on the houses. We're going to try to market them to small adult groups. The houses would be available from the begining of June until Aug. 15. Also, we are considering possibly letting some students live there over the summer. However, the marketing will not be for this summer because of the noise the construction will create."

There had been some talk of room and board being commensurate to facility, that is, the

cost for room and board would depend upon which resident facility you lived in. When asked about this, Morano said , "I'm not in favor of tuition differences. As far as I know, we are not increasing the price .

These houses are a necessary part of the residence program so they can't really be designated as a luxury but rather a necessity.''

In the event of decreasing enrollment, Morano said, "We wouldn't be really willing to sell off the houses. We would be more apt to rent them. Also, they are built in such a way that they can be used for other purposes. We had to do something that would off-set the costly - bui !ding. The growth of the college had to be considered."

"The first of the three existing houses was funded by the Pew Memorial Trust, a small foundation in Wilmington, a private family in Philadelphia, and little gifts. The other two existing houses and the three new houses will be funded by the Missionary Sisters. They own the houses rather than the college. We haven't worked out whether we will pay them rent or if we will put the money into the college," Morano said.

"In addition to all this, F. Eugene Dixon is associated with a grant that we received Continued on Page 2

Tuition •increase

approved for Fall

BY DETSY LYNCH

A 10% increase in tuition and room and board charges will take effect as of July 1, 1980," said William Eichner, Business Manager.

"Instead of $1390 per semester tuition will now be $1530and room and board will go up from $945per semester to $1040," he said.

This increase was approved at a meeting of the Board of Trustees on Monday, March 31, 1980. The Board also approved an 11% increase in faculty salaries and wages along with a slight increase in general and lab fees.

The General fee will be going up from $96 to $106, lab fees will be up $20 to $25 and the fee for a private room will go up $35 from $115 to $150. Service fees, however, will remain the same.

All of these increases are included in the newly approved 1980-81 college budget.

According to Eichner there are four main areas which have been decisive in the raising of tuition this year. These include energy and food costs, faculty salaries and wages and office expenses.

But the major expenses over the last few years have been the rising cost of energy and food.

"The cost of heating, light and

fuel oil have played havoc with the budget," Eichner said. "Our fuel bill increased almost 100% over the last year."

"Food is another big expense the price keeps escalating . There is a built in escalator in the contract - every month as the cost of food goes up so does the price ·and right now it's averaging $3.85 per student per day,'' he added. We know approximately for the student it's going to cost about $500 per semester for food but it's really hard to say exactly how much of a students rooin and board fee goes toward food," said Eichner.

In spite of these expenses Eichner said that the college has been operating in the black for the last 7 months. He cited the interest income the college receives from an endowment of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart as the main reason the college has been able to do this.

"This year we received the interest income from a $3 million dollar endowment of the sisters .

We live on that interest income of which 14% is the current rate," said Eichner . "In terms of dollars this comes to $420,000we didn't have a year ago that we have now," he added.

Letters to the Editor

Editorial

Three cheers for Carter

•

Tuition rise • • 1s·no surprise Once again students will be facing a tuition increase at Cabrini. While this may come as a surprise to some 'students the majority of us will most likely take it in stride . With the rising cost of living these days a hike in tuition has become an expected occurrence .

But why is this so? Why do the majority of us sit back and accept these increased costs instead of taking the initiative of finding out why tuition is being raised and seeing what we can do about it?

Thus , the issue is not so much why tuition is being raised but rather why this increase is rarely questioned or examined.

For example , the two major expenses on campus for the last few yea rs has been the cost of energy and food. These are two expenses which students have direct input into and can control to a certain degree.

Isn't it ironic then that most students feel that there is nothing they can do to avoid the rising cost of a college education? It may well be that it is this lackadaisical attitude which is costing the students more than all of their other expenses combined .

It is suggested that each student should take it upon themselves to adopt a more conservative lifestyle (i.e . turning off lights when leaving the room, using a towel instead of blow dryer etc .) and becoming more aware of their energy use.

It is also suggested that students should cut down on their waste of food by not taking more food than they plan to eat and by not sharing it with their non paying friends .

Once students begin to adopt a more conscientious attitude about their living habits it will hopefully stay with us and be beneficial not just through our college years but throughout our lifetime .

For although the cost of tuition may have doubled in the last 10 years it is far below what the cost of living has increased in that same time period .

Dear Editor : Three cheers for Carter Craigie who came out t-0 be a super 'hugger' during Saturday, March 29's Special Olympics. Carter served as a great example to the students who did participate .

Carter, it is people like you who make Cabrini and the world a nice place to be .

We fellow buggers wanted to say, "Carter, you are number 1 in our book!"

Than ks to sophs To the Editor : We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Sophomore Class for a wonderful evening Sophomore -Senior Farewell . You are to be commended as a class for a job well-done . The unity aHd spirit expressed throughout the planning and execution of this function shows that Cabrini students can truly work together to provide enjoyment as well as pleasure . Thank you for a job well done.

Sincerely , MARIA PIA CARUSI CINDI DeRITIS

Olympic volunteers To the Editor : I believe that if an organization such as Special Olympics runs a membership drive and takes the entrance fee from the student who joins the committee , that those people should not be ignored . I don't care about the money, as long as it is being used well, but when people volunteer their time they should not be ignored.

JACK DUFFY Commuter , Junior Dear Editor: I feel that a great injustice was_ done to me along with several other people who volunteered to work with Spec ial Olympics . I have heard people use as an ex cuse for lack of responsibility the fact they have been "busting their ass all weekend to get everything done." Well in my opinion if the new heads of the committees used the resources here (other students i the work could have been shared and the burden would have been a whole lot lighter.

There were plent y of people who wished to help but were not given the opportunity . The involvement of the whole student body was not there as in the previous year .

The work load was upon a few choice people who did not wish to share the work and for many this work would trave brought joy, happiness and an overall feeling . I do not wish to hear anyone say I had recruited enough volunteer help .

There were plenty of people backing me, who did not get the· chance

upset

to participate . The way to get volunteers is not by just post- · ing signs, but going directly to the people, which I was planning tot week prior to the event. It was something you don't do months ahead for too many people don't know what 's happening that far ahead . But I was not given thi s opportunity to prove this.

Special Olympics was something I really enjoye d doing from the first time Mike Sulewsk i asked me to get involved. There was nothing I wouldn't do I didn't do last year .

Well this year my help was not welcomed. I can't express what it feels like to have something you really like, something you really look forward to and enjoy, taken away at the last minute. I didn 't even feel comfortable attending .

But once Judy Hammet and I took 8 boys that didn't have bugger s I had to get involved . I tried very hard to put aside all the injustices the administration was doing and get to the real essence of Special Olympics , the kids, not to see how much power or what kind of name you can get for yourself.

I feel, if Special Olympics wants an y support next year, they better get their act together and treat people fairly, openly , honestl y , and most of all remember this is a great communit y effort and there are people who want to help if they are only allowed .

Sincerely , ANN MARIE KISTNER

Lottery system to take effect •1n the fall

BY DETSY LYNCH

''The basic layout to this system is comparable to other colleges in the area and is a very efficient system ," said Pia Carusi, Head Resident of House No. 2 in response to the new lottery system which was initiated this Spring and will be used in the selection of resident rooms for the Fall of 1980.

This system , outlined in a memo sent out by Gus Nicoletti, Director of Resident Life, to returning resident students and commuters desiring on campus housing contained the following guidelines .

First, students may claim "squatters rights" if they wish to remain in their present rooms. The only exception to this will be in

In the recent Harrisburg review of its syllabi, teaching aims and teaching methods, the department of English and communications met every requirement of the state of Pennsylvania . Granting the department five-year approval to continue certifying students to be teachers , the reviewing committee said, " ... the enthusiastic attitude of students, faculty and administration project a very healthy dynamic atmosphere ."

The committee considered that, for a small liberal arts college, Cabrini possesses impressive facilities . The committee found that the strong student /advisor relationship in the English and communications department helped students choose courses to fit their individual academic needs. It also noted that the faculty were very aware of the students ' academic requirements and were willing to adjust teaching programs to meet them.

One response to changing needs that attracted the committee 's at tention was the course in advanced writing. This was pioneered at Cabrini by Jerome Zurek, associ-

ate professor of English and communications , and Arthur Young, lecturer in English and reading specialis t.

Zurek and Young found that many college students have problems with writing, so they examined the theory of the writing process, gaining much knowledge and a large collection of books and articles . Young described the proj ect as a work of scholarship , adding that it will form the second part of his Ph.D. comprehensives .

The resulting course is taught by Young and helps students understand the dynamics of writing , thereby reducing writing anxiety .

They can then tutor freshmen who have writing problems .

The Harrisburg committee said that this course helped students in such a crucial area that it should become a required course.

Overall, the committee noted that the department's presentation of its activities for the review was clear, concise, thorough and the best it has seen to date.

Zurek, commenting that all students should be aware of the value of the certification program in case they find they want to teach ,

"This is because Woodcrest will be primarily an all freshmen dorm, said Carusi. "The freshmen who are here now were told at residency orientation that they would have to move out," said Carusi.

Formal garden being restored

Literary _magazine seeks more writers

BY OLIVIA PETTENGILL

Do you enjoy reading short stories, poetry, prose, or looking at original art? If so, The Cryptic m'ay be just the right thing for you.

"What's the Cryptic?" you ask.

Well, The Cryptic is Cabrini's literary magazine that is filled with original works by members of the campus community. The magazine is published twice a year, depending on the budget, and the next issue will be released during the first or second week of May. The name Cryptic suggests: the secret; the occult ; the mysterious and the hidden. This means appropriate since the writings included in the magazine originated in the hidden thoughts of the authors who wrote them.

"Who are the authors and arJUDY HAMMET spends an afternoon hoeing in the formal garden. Judy and other members of tists?" you ask. Anyone who the Ecology Club have been working in the garden to restore it to its original beauty. Anyone who , .wishes to contribute their work has 1s willing to help out is welcome. Ecology members work in the garden on weekends and after- a chance to be published in the noons at their own convenience. The garden is located across the road from the soccer field. Cryptic. Kathy Mignogna, one of this year's editors of the Cryptic, ( Photo by Detsy Lynch) said, "Because Cryptic is open to the whole campus community, we · want people to realize that it's not just limited to communications majors."

"He's not a hugger, he's a grabber," quipped O'Leary, and Roxanne Lucchesi, one flustered volunteer. as well as other Cryptic staff mem The climax of the day was the bers, review it and decide what final game played between Kane should be published.

He explained that one of his friends had rested the fate of his cowboy hat on the outcome of the game. Kane won narrowly over the Bronx, by the score of 26-24.

Collins was unavailable for comment.

Mignogna said that there is always a need for more writings or artwork. She feels that many people are probably afraid to submit their original works because of the personal part of them that went into their work, and possibly because of fear of rejection. She said, "I know that there are more people out there who write, but they are holding back on us." She cites the personal satisfaction of having one's writings amt art published as an excellent incentive for anvone inclined in this .area.

The publishing of this magazine has become a favorite tradition in the Cabrini campus community. No one seems to know exactly when the first Cryptic was published.

The earliest record of it suggests that it was released in the spring·· of 1962. Yet, the oldest copy held in the college archives is from 1963.

There is a record of another magazine, called Le Nuage, published the year before the Cryptic came into being . So, the Cryptic was not the first literary magazine on campus, but it seems to have become the most successful.

hostages from a hijacked jet.

Holland fell victim · to its own ethnic minority, the South Moluccans, who demanded the return of their island home. The Dutch successfully used psychology to gain the hostages' freedom. Psychology was also used to ·help renao1Htate the hostages.

The dilemma of terrorism is that it is a no-win situation. The terrorists may have a just cause but their demands are impossible to meet. The return of Palestine to the Palestinians?

Israel would fight to the death. The return of the Shah and his money? He is not the U.S.'s to return.

Whatever the response of govern,n en ts-anti-terrorist squads, psychology, complying with demands or refusal to negotiate, there is no fail-safe solution that will end terrorism once and for all. Terrorists are not interested in the dilemmas. Being passionately committed to a cause, they will murder and die for it.

For the hostages, the innocent 'pawns in a deadly power struggle, it is an experience from which they never recover. Like the hostage schoolchildren of Maalot who saw their friends gunned down by the P.L.O. and die in a pool of blood.

Or the Dutch businessman who survived a train siege. "If you have ever been a hostage," he said slowly, "you will be one for the rest of your life."

Farewel I rousing success

BY CONNIE AIELLO

h was an evening that would be remembered for the usual table dancing, screaming and crying.

However, for the class of 1980, Sophomore/Senior Farewell stood alone as the last formal dance to be shared with classmates.

Sophomore/Senior Farewell was first initiated at Cabrini as a formal dance in 1963. The dinner /dance is extended as a "thank you" from the sophomore class to the senior class. It is to thank the seniors for their roles as "big , brothers" and "big sisters" from the time the sophomores entered Cabrini as freshmen. This year's Sophomore/Senior Farewell was held at the Mansion House, Devon, Pa. "It was definitely worth all the time and work," Chris Collins,

sophomore class vice-president, said. Collins said the evening cost over $4,000.00. "The seniors were terrific," he said. "If they could have stood on the ceiling they would have deserved it." 1 Sophomore class President Dave Murphy and Collins presented gifts to senior class President Al Iannucci and Vice-President Tori Ryan.

Iannucci received a toy gorilla to commemorate Counsel Hall's mascot, Joe Rock, and Ryan received a toy skunk because, as Collins said, "vice-presidents are looked at as 'little stinkers' for their office."

The evening began with cocktails, dinner and dancing until 1 :00 a.m. The Springfield Band, a rock group from Paoli, Pa., per-

formed for a crowded dance floor.

By the end of the night, however, tables and chairs were also filled with dancing seniors.

Ryan, who was reported as one of the table dancers, said that "it was the best Cabrini function I've ever been to."

The evening's ending was anticlima~ic although somewhat appropriate as guests demanded an encore from the band after they had finished performing. As the band reappeared, several Cabrini students mounted the stage. One of them, Joe Kravitz, sophomore, sang the last song with the band.

Kravitz said that "my actions were the results of having a ·good time ."

The dinner /dance was held on March 29.

Features Experiments: Murder or not?

BY JIM LAWLOR

Morality and practicality came head to head with one another at a Philosophy Biology and Psychology Department symposium on animal rights held on March 27 in the library.

The initial speaker was Carl Gabriel. He is a veterinarian who does experimental research on animals. Gabriel feels that the benefits they incur for mankind justify the use of animals for experiments. He also cites economic reasons for the use of animals in experimentation.

The second speaker was Dee Ryan, a representative of Citizens United for Animal Rights. Her position was extreme anti~xperimentation. "We have no right to use animals for our purposes at any time," she said. Afterwards, she commented that although the ends of experimentation have been good, the ends do not justify the means.

The third speaker was Joseph Volpe of the Philosophy Department. His argument was logically based. He said that animals do not qualify for rights as we know them, but they do deserve moral consideration on the grounds that they are Jiving things. Volpe suggested that giving animals this standing in the moral community would promote _greater discretion

in the way we treat animals in the laboratory, and on the dinner table.

The symposium was then open to questions. Those in attendance, about thirty or so, sought a compromise through their questions.

Gabriel admitted that some experimentation is unnecessary and should be avoided. Ryan would not move from her position, although the majority of the questions were directed to this end .

Sharon Schwarze, associate professor of philosophy, suggested that there are certain good experiments and certain bad ones.

Ryan still insisted that all experiments are wrong. Her argument Jost weight when she admitted she would kill a sewer rat if it appproached her, some members of the audience felt.

After the questioning, the symposium ended. Schwarze said she thought the event went over well, and that good points were brought up.

John DeTurck, professor of biology, who was in attendance, said that he didn't think the issue was resolved, but that three unique views were presented. He added that he feels experimental research is necessary, but the numbers and the pain caused should be limited. "A line has to be drawn," he said.

\t\/hat's in a name, you ask

BY MARY LANCE

''Oh, be some other name !

What's in a name? sighed Juliet from her balcony knowing that because her name was Capulet her Jove for Romeo Montague was doomed.

Fortunately, most . people's names don't pose quite such difficulties, but surnames can still be a source of pride or problems .

Take the Welsh name, Jones·, which means son of John. It is so common that together with the favorite Welsh first name, Dai, (short for David, patron saint of Wales) there will be several men called Dai Jones in any village.

This problem is resolved by dropping the first name and adding occupation. So there's Jones the Post (the mailman), Jones the Milk (the milkman) or Jones the University (the local academic).

What is it like to be a Smith or a Jones? Lori Smith '83 (from the old English Smyth, a worker in metals) likes it. "It's never bothered me. I like being a Smith.

I'd even like to hang on to it when I get married," she said. Smith feels that, paradoxically, it makes her

more notable. She explained that people say "Oh, another Smith," and remember her.

Those with unusual surnames are often vexed by the problems others have pronouncing or spelling their name correctly. John Yheaulon, whose name comes from Alsace-Lorraine and is pronounced "Ulon," said "It bothers me when people get it wrong in business matters or something important like pay checks." He simplified his name once but although it looked good people still had trouble pronouncing it.

Yheaulon says that although his family tree reveals many changes through the years, he would not consider changing it again.

Said Theresa Sgro, "I have all kinds of problems. Some people pretend the g doesn't exist, or they think I misspell it." Sgro, whose name is from Naples, Italy, said she has never considered changing it and doesn't see why she should just to make it easier for others.

People do change their names, though. The most common reason is through rparriage although

some_ wom~n. are ' beginning to question this convention. Sometimes names are changed for ~implicity or in the hope of improving one's image, like New York state politician Finkelstein who became plain Mr. Stein. Englishman Donald Nappy changed his name to Nielson out of embarrass!l'ent ~ecause in England a nappy 1s a diaper.

Name-changing is more formal than in the early days when, at Ellis Island, immigrants' names were often altered by a harrassed immigration official registering a phonetic approximation of a name.

Nowadays there are well-defined legal procedures to be gone through. .

Most people are happy with their name, though, no matter how commonplace or exotic because it provides a link with their past as a means of cultural identification-a kind of 'roots' syndrome. People like to feel their family has come from somewhere and that the slowsimmering melting pot of America has not blended their histQry out of existence. ·

Entertainment

PeriOd pieces decorate 'The Heiress'

BY MARY ANN RIBICK

"Discipline and imagination are important ingredients in 'The Heiress', ' ' Dan1ele Perna, theater director said.

"The cast is especially excited with the authentic period costumes and pieces including hoop skirts, satin dresses and velvet capes ," Perna said .

"The members of the cast have to rehearse not only their characters but the wearing of the period styles as well. The majority of the rehearsals are with hoops . The female characters need to learn to walk, sit, curtsy and fall properly in the 1800's period costumes ," Perna added .

11The collection of costumes is from the Mccarter Theater in Princeton , New Jersey through the courtesy of the Theater Development Fund of New York City" Perna said .

John Vermeal (83i plays one of

the male leads, Morris Townsend, a character most people either love or hate .

"Morris is a dashing, dapper charmer in love with Catherine ," Vermeal said .

Although a freshman, Perna said that Vermeal won the role for his preparedness and interpretation of the character .

"I like to see a novice with strong interest and self-<liscipline.

They should be willing to accept any role whether minor or walk on," Perna said. "That willingness makes you feel that the actor is working toward a higher level, a second-lead," he added.

"The company has been tight since the beginning of last semester and have worked together very closely,'' Perna said.

Perna added that he likes to see a devotion, a loyalty and respect for the theater in his actors.

"Dr. Frank Saul, dean of continuing education and member of the Theater Development Committee has been very instrumental in selecting the costumes," Perna said.

"The pieces for 'The Heiress' are exciting . A classic play such as this calls for refined aristocratic pieces to dress the classic ," Perna said.

Perna said that they are going to need to work on balancing the acting area of Little Theater. Set in the round, the acting area will be small when the hoop-skirted characters are on stage.

The female lead, Catherine Sloper will be played by Mary Alice Fitzpatrick (81).

"It was a difficult decision ," Perna said, "a number of girls had good style and interpretation ."

John Gallagher (80J will play Dr. Sloper, Catherine's father .

"The two had played another

father-daughter role last year and I was somewhat concerned that some trace of last year's roles might have lingered ," Perna said.

"But there doesn't seem to be any problem and I'm looking forward to them doing well," Perna added.

'Mrs. Penniman, the aunt, is played by Joan Smith , a continuing education student who had served as assistant director for Tom Sawyer.

"The drawing room maid, played by Connie Aiello, is a difficult role ," Perna said . "Connie will need to do research and gather some background on her char act er," Perna said.

Two students from the acting class, Judy Guido (80i and Maria Gentile (82J are sharing the role of Mrs . Almond .

"The acting class had studied the play and worked on the scenes, they were closely involved in the planning," Perna said .

The role of Marian is shared by Donna Monforto (81) and Mary Goldner (81), both veterans of the Little Theater .

Shawn Stetser ( 80 i and Roxanne Lucchesi (80i are sharing the role of Mrs . Montgomery.

Arthus, a small yet difficult and exciting role is being shared by Ed Cunningham and Jerry Perna . " 'The Heiress', is a difficult play to do ," Perna said.

"The play centers around a shy young girl who lives with her father and falls in love with Mor ris . Her father's doubt of Morris ' intent leads to many surprises in the play," Vermeal said . "It's the type of play in which you see some thing new every time you read or see it ," Vermeal said.

"The most interesting part for me is to keep that speck of doubt , to never let the audience be certain of Morris ' feelings," Vermeal said .

Dancers depict the Passion of

Christ

The passion of Christ was portrayed in song, dance and pantomime on Palm Sunday, March 30th, in Cabrini's chapel.

The second annual Easter liturgical dance was presented by the liturgical dancers under the direction of Daniele Perna .

Rather than the passion of Christ being simply read at the masses by Father Jack Replogle, it was acted out.

Cabrini students who participated in the liturgical dance were Kathy Filippo, '82; Barbara Bohi , '83 ; Jo Schwoyer, '82 ; Margarita Tuero , ,'82; Dorothy Kriebel, '82; Carol Ann Guglielmi, '82; and Lynnejoy_ Williams, '83. The narrator was George Collins .

Mary Magdalene was played

by Darlene Albericci, a private student of Perna 's.

The liturgical dancers have been rehearsing once a week since the beginning of the semester. The whole cast did not come together until Palm Sunday at 9 :00 a.m . Until that time , each of the individual parts we're rehearsed separately.

The part of Jesus Christ was played by Kathy Filippo .

Filippo's performance was done in pantomime . It traced Christ's entrance into

said Williams .

Another dancer , Margarita Tuero , a sophomore, said, "It was just as good as last year's , even though it was different. " Tuero also said , "It still had the power to move me . I think it was less theatrical than last year."

Senior Cathy McKee and sophomore Lisa Fitzgerald were both impressed by the liturgical dance . McKee thought it was well done. "I loved it ," she said. Fitzgerald also thought hat it was very good . She was especially impressed by the dramatic crucifixion .

Youth brings music to life

BY MARY LANCE

Cabrini college was host to the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra on Sunday, March 3oth. The gym, an unlikely setting for a cultural event, provided surprisingly good acoustics.

The Youth Orchestra is made up of Philadelphia's finest young musicians, under the infectiously enthusiastic and humorous leadership of Joseph Primavera.

Because of the number of children in the audience, Primavera explained the theme of each piece and had an instrument pick out phrases for us that illustr-

ated the theme . For example, one piece represented the ticking of a metronome which we could hear clearly during the performance .

Apart from Beethoven's 8th Symphony, which was an ambitious undertaking for the orchestra and beautifully executed, most of the works were short and lively. The children particularly enjoyed Humperdink's Hansel and Gretel, Die Fledermaus by Strauss , and a medley from Fiddler on the Roof which made us want to get up and dance.

The performance of this talented

young orchestra was polished, professional and a joy to listen to .

Even the youngest children were attentive.

11-year old Josh Wright of Wayne was glad he went. "They were really good," he said . "I play the French horn at school and got to talk to a horn player during the intermission."

This performance was sponsored by Cabrini's Theater Lab , with Daniele Perna as artistic director. The next production in this series will be "A Children's Introduction to Opera" on May 1.

Found: A gold necklace was found on the floor in Sacred Heart Hall. Please respond to Box No. 111 - would like to return it to the owner.

Olympic hopeful discusses future

BY JIM LAWLOR

" I'm penalized for existance."

These are the words of Villanova miler Sidney Marie , describing his standing in world track and field.

Marie told his story on Thursday, March 20, when he was on Cabrini 's campus to visit his friend, Sister Eileen, and to talk to the Cavalier cross country team .

The story is one of politics and prejudice, yet one which is told without a hint of bitterness by its victim .

Sidney Marie is possibly the world's fastest miler . He did it in 3 :57 in high school. Yet he is barred from any international competition. He is black, and he is from South Africa. South Africa pr act ices apartheid, which is segregation, and discrimination against non-Europeans . As a result , there are two track teams in the country, the white team, and the black team. The two are completely separate, in fact they walk under different flags .

To try to stop this practice, the International Olympic Committee

has ostracized South Africa from the Olympic games. Consequently , no South African can participate in any international event. This includes Marie.

"The rules that were tailored to help blacks are hurting me," Marie said .

Marie came to the U.S. three years ago, but he must wait another two years to get his citizenship. Until that time he is only eligible to run in domestic meets, like the Penn Relays .

Marie has appealed to the international committee , but they would not change their position.

"They told me I was a victim of circumstance ," he said .

The miler feels that the committee should look at the rule again , but feels the ultimate solution lies in South Africa.

"South Africa imposed their own problems . They have made some changes, but these are basically new names for old games . We have to form an integrated track team in South Africa," Marie said.

Aside from disallowing Marie in international meets, the South Africa ban has two other effects on the runner . The first is patriotic .

"I am being denied the chance to st~nd up with my countrymen," he said . The second is practical.

Since he has a limited choice of meets to run in, he must train in a variety of events , rather than specialize in one .

Marie may get a chance to run if there are alternate games this summer . He feels the Olympics are political, and will remain so until some rules are changed . He called the games, "A War without guns ."

Marie is left without a place to show his talents because of a government that discriminates against him and a committee that tried to help him. He relates the story politely and without bitterness. He remains hopeful that something will happen and he will be eligible. He says, "Chance favors prepared minds." So now he is staying prepared .
