Kennedy and Bushwin 1n primary BY MARY C. GOLDNER April 22, 1980 marked the calendar as the day Pennsylvanians got the chance to have their say on who they wanted as their candidate for president. The Pennsylvania primary is unique because of the policy of no cross-0ver voting. This means when you are registered in the state, republican or democrat, you must vote straight party. A democrat must vote for the democratic party and republicans must vote in the republican party. George Bush, republican presidential hopeful was the clear winner in this "Beauty Contest" with Ronald Reagan. Capturing 54% of the vote, Bush beat Reagan's 46% with ABC news commenting "the main stream vote went to Bush." Bush stormed Penna. spending close to a million dollars on this primary with live T.V. telecasts, press conferences , and political commercials. The repeats of his

peoples' press conference were seen at least 5 times the week preceding the primary saturating voters with answers to key issues and foreign policy problems. Reagan who was scarcely seen in Penna., suffered at the polls but still managed to gain more delegate support, 44 delegates to Bush's 22 delegates. Mary Jane Wallace, junior, registered voter in New Jersey said, "I was a little bit surprised at the democratic vote. I thought Carter would have had a better outcome than Kennedy. As far as the republican vote was concerned, I was disappointed to see Reagan come out shorthanded." In the democratic race it was tight all the way, even ABC news declined to predict a winner at 12:00 a.m . Wednesday morning. Edward Kennedy addressing campaign workers , family and supporters at his Philadelphia headquarters stressed the point,
"It appears tonight we have a narrow victory." At this writing Kennedy had received 46% of the vote narrowly beating Carter by 1 percentage vote. The major reason behind the cautious behavior in declaring a winner was because the rural vote in Penna. had not been accounted for as of yet and Carter was expected to runaway with the votes in these areas. The delegate support given to Kennedy and Carter was evenly matched with Kennedy not gaining much ground against the numbers already in the Carter rants. Kennedy still trails Carter by 469 delegates. The Kennedy campaign hit Penna. early and stayed all the way. The "See-Saw" battle ensuing between the president and the challenger needed this 18th round victory desperately to keep this fight worth fightJ~r . "I this campaign speaks for any-
thing it speaks for the workers of this great nation whose wages are being eaten up by inflation. This campaign speaks for the elderly who are making extremely difficult and cruel choices because their limited incomes are being eaten up by inflation. This campaign speaks for the young people of this nation who wonder about tuition costs for college. This campaign speaks for the people of this great nation," said Kennedy. From the Rosegarden, White House-USA to the Rosegarden room, Fairmount Hotel-Phila., Carter supporters kept repeating "win or lose it makes no difference, Kennedy still needs m-70% of the remaining delegates to get the nomination. The Carter people are convinced the President will get the party nomination. Both Bush and Kennedy it was commented needed a pennsylvania victory to keep their. campaigns and chances for the White House
alive. "I am of course very pleased with the results and we're going to work harder and keep doing what we did in Pennsylvania to help delineate the differences between Gov. Reagan and myself," said Bush at his headquarters in Houston Tuesday night. Kennedy commented, "This shows a rejection of the hand-writing being done by this administration concerning issues at home and abroad."
James Cherry, Montgomery County, county clerk said, "The voters are coming in and voting on the issues. For the first time in my 20 years working at the polls citizens seem generally interested." The political climate surrounding this primary was more heated than previous confrontations between the candidates . Commercials by Carter became more antiKennedy than for Carter.
Food ·service bids
sought for Fall, specials planned BY AL SALMIERI
With the increase in food costs and labor, Cabrini is presently in the process oflooking at eight contract bids in regard to a food service, to serve Cabrini in the Fall of 1980.
According to William Eichner, business manager, Cabrini is in the process of interviewing several companies including our present food service, Stouffers. Eichner also said that the number will be cut down to about three oy mid-May, and that Sister Sharon Morano will make the final decision by the end of May. According to Eichner, the principal factors that are important in making a final decision are that (1) the company have some kind of prior educational type experience and (2) the actual bid itself. "What Cabrini is looking for in the fall is a variety of different foods and having the menu printed up ahead of time so the students know exactly whats for dinner for SISTER MARY LOUISE SULLIVAN and Mrs. F. Eugene Dixon look on during the dedication the entire week," said Eichner. ceremony for the new houses. The ceremony took place on Sunday, April 13.

What do you think?
Campus votes with state
Reporter Jim Lawlor and Photographer Kathy Daly asked the question, "Did you vote in the Pennsylvania primary, why or why not?"
MARY C. GOLDNER
Yes, it was my civic duty. That was the only way to see my candidate nominated. Katie Cain Senioi:
Cabrini held a primary of their own on Tuesday April 22with Bush naming away with the republican vote. The results evenly paralleled the Pennsylvania primary percentage wise. The contest between Carter and Kennedy reflected the Pennsylvania primary also, except in a reversal, Carter edged Kennedy out by 1 percentage vote. _1
Students seemed generally interested and aware of what the candidates were saying and what they stood for. Faculty, students and administration participated in the voting, which may show that apathy concerning politics may be on the way out. The issues of registration, inflation, the Equal Rights Amendment and un-employment have
begun to arouse concern in the voters of Cabrini. When asked how he felt about the Cabrini primary, Dr. Jerone Zurek replied, "I thought it was encouraging that our enlightened students were so interested in the candidates and concerned on the issues." Once again Cabrini proves there is more to it than 110acres.

Fall semester of 1980will mark the initiation of fourteen new courses at Cabrini. "Each year every department is encouraged to review their courses to see what innovations they might want to consider," said Joseph Romano, acting academic dean: about the new course offerings for the fall semester. One of the most significant changes, according to Romano, is the addition of two new courses in the Science department. Biological Principles, (103A) and Chemistry Perspectives, (103) are being introduced especially for the nonscience majors . "I'm very happy about that," said Romano.

Missionary Sisters celebrate Centenary / BY CONNIE AIELLO
Francesca Xavier Cabrini, a licensed elementary education teacher, started the Catholic order of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart (MSC) in November of 1880. One hundred years later, the order has grown from the orginal seven members to 900 members worldwide. The MSC's are active in 13 countries: United States,
Canada, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Spain, Italy, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Swaziland and Australia. "This is truly a time to pay tribute to the one hundred years of dedicated service of our members and the achievements of the people whose lives we have touched in immeasurable ways, a time to affirm
the present and to go forward into York City,'' Sullivan said. She said that the hospice will care for the the future with the unshakeable confidence so characteristic of terminally ill.

Tempting as it may sound, however, most Cabrini students . have less diverting pastimes in mind . Like work . While some students will be earning extra credits in summer courses, many are taking summer jobs and those without one are feverishly searching. Mike Hilsey is hoping to get a job landscaping, but will settle for just about anything, as he needs the money for tuition . Eileen Slattery, taking her courage in both hands, will be a blueprint clerk on a construction site in Atlantic City. Slattery worked as a time-keeper on a casino site last summer, making
sure the men were working . "The guys were awful at first," she said. "I almost cried I was so scared. They would all stop working and whistle like wild men ." Things changed completely after they got to know her, though. "I don't mind going back. I loved it, she said. Slattery expects to earn more than $5 an hour, which will go toward school fees. Rose Lelli is lucky enough to have a choice between nurses's aid or clerical work. Lelli, majoring in nursing, would like to try physical therapy or care of elderly cancer patients . "Moneywise the clerical job is good, but I like nursing better because that's my field," Lelli said. "I wanted to so something different. A bit more challenging,'' said Mary Alice Fitzpatrick, who's had enough of waitressing and being a chambermaid . Fitzpatrick has landed herself a probation officer internship, working with
adults at Media courthouse. It is a special program for adult first offenders. "If they follow this program they won't have a record," Fitzpatrick explained. I'm looking forward to it." She intends to use her earnings for clothes and to run her car . Not everyone's mind is set on work, however. Some are resigned to a summer of unbridled hedonism . Director of resident life, Gus Nicoletti, is looking forward to living in a trailer at Carpenter's Point, Maryland, on the Chesapeake and Northeast river. "I'm going to be camping, reading and getting a sun tan, " he said. Tom Anderson, still tanned from his Easter visit to California, is relishing the prospect or spending the entire summer at the Black's Beach, Sand Diego, where nude
sunbathing is the order of the day. "I intend to get an overall tan," he said with a happy grin. Nice work if you can get it.

BY JIM LAWLOR
This year, for the first time, there is one standard Cabrini ring available to students . In the past, students just picked any ring from a catalogue of styles. The change has come about as a result of the efforts of Sister Sharon , SGA , and Josten's Rihg Company . Kelli Armstrong was chosen to chair a committee of SGA members when it was suggested to student government that a standard ring might be a good idea . According to Armstrong, a first draft ring was left with Sr. Sharon by Josten 's. The committee members went in to see it separately, and then met to discuss it. "We really just approved it." Armstrong said. They did make some suggestions, however. The committee decided to keep the school's tradi-
The committee then met again with a Josten's representative . They voiced their suggestions, and the final ring was made . The new standard design is now available . Along with Armstrong , committee members were; Kathy Cord ilia , Joan McGuckin, Terri Guidice, and Regina Volpe. According to Detsy Lynch, student government association president, Cabrini's old ring company, Kane merged with Josten's. . The school did not change companies . To order a ring , you must be a second semester sophomore. The cost of the rings range up from one hundred thirteen dollars.
Lance bids farewell BY MARY LANCE
Of course there's no such thing as a college student who doesn't know what a freshman or sophomore is, or who has never heard of cums, grade point averages, semesters or term papers, right? And anyone who claims to have gone to a free-paying public high school at the age of four is hallucinating, right? Wrong. Answering this unlikely description, I arrived at Cabrini last September looking for an education and got a whole lot more than I bargained for. I thought that, having full command of the language, AngloAmerican word differences would be the least of my problems. I was quite used to translating everyday words like sidewalk (pavement), elevator (lift), truck (lorry), line (queue) and dozens of others. I had got over being startled by the frequent, public discussion of pants, which in England refers only to women's underwear. I was no longer puzzled by being directed to
the bathroom when a bath wasn't actually what I needed. That learned English professor, Jerome Zurek, bore the brunt of educating the foreigner. "It was hell," he said ruefully. On the principle that the devil yau know is better than the devil you don't know, all the courses I took were taught by Zurek and I enjoyed them all. He's really earned his salary this year and probably a medal for bravery, too. My first class, journalism, was unforgettable. The confusion started immediately. Collecting our class cards, Zurek asked (from the best motives no doubt) what year I was. I didn't know. Things went downhill rapidly after that. I didn't know if I was a senior, a transfer student, what a major was, or even-in response to a question from Detsy Lynch-what I was doing at Cabrini. Lynch and Kathy Daly, the editors of LoquUur, were desperately wondering how they were going to run a newspaper with a staff like
that. I had flunked my first class. Life was baffling at first, trying to figure out what was going on and learning the language. So when my homework came back with red ink all over my impeccable British spelling (which is often different from American), I protested. "Hands off my spelling," I roared. "When ttt Rome, Lance ... ," countered Zurek, driving another spike into my bed of nails. Working for the newspaper has been fascinating. I've enjoyed interviewing students and faculty for articles. It's been interesting hearing different points of view, especially the unprintable off-therecord ones. Now the year is over, classes are finished and I'm returning to England. It hurts to say goodbye. There's something special about Cabrini. Everyone is so friendly, so accepting and has made me feel really welcome . Cabrini has been a lot of fun and an education I wouldn't have- nai6sed for anything.

Daley is using 100 students each from St. Joseph's University, Cabrini, and the summer session of Delaware County Community College. Daley has also had research experience with the Career Opportunities Program Evaluation which investigates the effectiveness of Educational Programs for minority students of College age. The in-house survey was conducted for the college and classroom exposition, and "Sex Roles and Educational Aspirations" is an unpublished survey of the relationship between sex and role attitudes at Cabrini.

Children's school fun and educational BY KATHY DALY AND OLIVIA PETTENGILL The Children's School which
started as an on-campus babysitting service in the early seventies, has over the years, grown to be a unique academic setting in the area for preschool children. Located adjacent to the maintenance facilities, The Children's School is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Private Academic Schools. Brought about by the efforts of Eve Concannon, director of The Children's School, Nancy Rush, Co-ordinator of the Early Childhood Education Department and others, the idea took shape. Thus the dream of an on-campus nursery school setting became a reality in 1975. "The philosophy of The Children's School is based first and foremost on what child development shows to be appropriate activities for young children," said Concannon. "Preschoolers move and make noise, therefore the program should allow them to move and make noise," Concannon said. The program also adapts the philosophy of the British Infant Schools, "which holds that schools for young children should be workshops not teacher-dominated classrooms and that teaching should be individual, not group," said Concannon. Using a team-teaching approach, the program of The Children's School revolves around themes such as seasons, holidays, and most importantly, the children themselves. Weekly meetings are held by the teachers where they discuss the upcoming plans. A big part of team-teaching says Concannon, is the teachers' ability to compromise and at the same time be compatible. Children pick up on tensions among teachers, says Concannon, and this can only hinder the learning environment. At present there is one full time and two part time teachers working as a team. These teachers, along with director Concannon, work to create a positive a~ademic
setting. Ellen Jackson, a former elementary teacher in the public school system, sees The Children's School as a "creative atmosphere." At The Children's School, says Jackson, you can feel something coming to life. "Something stimulating and new goes on here," says Jackson, and "It's fun." A 1978 graduate of Cabrini, Sue Kane, really enjoys teaching at The Children's School. "I like the setting here," says Kane. "Working together as a team is great." The changing of areas and the different ages of the children offers variety to both the students and faculty. Maria Cevallos, a 1979graduate of Kutztown State College, likes the idea of being associated with the college, its work study students, observers, and student teachers. ''It's a super quality," says Cevallos. The program at The Children's School places a big emphasis on living in harmony with nature. "Personally I feel that we have a duty to impart a love of nature and respect for animals, for we live in synbiosis with the natural world," says Concannon. The children learn that nature is their friend, says Concannon, and that they should protect it. There are a variety of pets at the school such as guinea pigs, fish, and hamsters that the children help care for. Creative art activities play a major role in the school's program. The staff believes that the process of creating is more important than the end product, and in that way the children are able to be very actively involved in their art. "Recognizing that young children are limited in their ability to communicate verbally," says Concannon, "many ,lvenues of self-expression are proveded." The creative art activities are just one of those avenues of self-ex-I pression. The staff also works on ~
I
educating the parents in the importance of children's art and how to respond to their children's artwork. Another area of major emphasis in the program is based on a sound nutrition and gardening plan. The staff provides opportunities for the children to actively involve themselves in growing, preparing, and eating nutritious foods. The school has an organic garden which the children use to grow vegetables and flowers. Upon harvesting the vegetables, the children help in preparing them for snacks. They also cook a variety of nutritious snacks and avoid sweet snacks at all costs. The lack of indoor physical facilities has played a major role in the type of program The Children's School has to offer. Small rooms are ideal for use as different activity centers, says Concannon, but are too small for use as individual classrooms. Despite the limited indoor space the outdoor facilities largely compensate for this problem. A large paved area affords ample opportunity for wheel toys, and an im-

The Children's School is licensed for 30 children at any one time,'' says Concannon. "At present we are running to capacity," she said. Concannon sees a great demand in this area for a toddler program, after school care for kindergarteners, and a full time kindergarten. The Children's School however, is not able to meet these demands due to lack of space. Unfortunately, says Concannon, the space restrictions also limit use of The Children's School by education majors, since only two or three additional adults can be present at any one time. Despite its few limitations The Children's School appears to be meeting its purpose as stated by William Kuhns, chairperson of the Education Department, ''providing an excellent academic setting for children ~r students, faculty, and the community."

Ronstadt opens series of spring concerts BY JOYCE PATITUCCI
On Thursday evening, April 10th, the Spectrum commenced a series of spring concerts by hosting Linda Ronstadt , with special guest Danny Kortchmar. The crowd of almost 15,000, under the influence of cannabis less-so than usual , was comprised mainly of Ronstadt enthusiasts who didn 't know quite what to expect , due to yet another change in her style . However , Ronstadt , by presenting a unique blend in her repetoire of both rock and country , competently satisfied both the loyal and the skeptical.
Ronstadt surprised the audience by dusting off old favorites like "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" and " Faithless Love " two ballads that earned her r~ognition as a solo country artist after the Stone Ponies disbanded . Amazingly , it was one of her least acclaimed singles that was the obvious favorite , " Blue Bayou ." This song was delivered with both feeling and gutsiness, as Ronstadt reached without caution for the higher notes . To the gratificat ion of those who claim her as a new-wave artist , Ronstadt offered Elvis Costello 's " Party Girl " and material from
her latest album , "Mad Love ," such as "How Do I Make You?" and the title track. Ronstadt dis·putes the implication that she has gone "punk" by claiming that her new material is "just good old rock and roll. " But if outward appearances are able to suggest anything , how would Ronstadt explain her new punk-cut and the exchange of her satiny garb for her typically-newwave bizarre clothing? All indications point to her desire to join the ranks of Deborah Harry or even Costello. Unfortunately for her , she lacks t he outrageous in telligence of· Harry and the ar -
rogance of Costello , qualities which have become an integral part of the new-wave movement. However, opportunist-Ronstadt is an excellent power-pop artist and this distinction is a positive one . With Bill Payne on keyboards, Peter Asher seated at the drums, and Wendy Waldman on guitar , Ronstadt provided the audience with an almost flawless performance . What did not go over well with this member (of the audience) was her rendition of Neil Young's "Look Out For My Love." Ronstadt failed to bring out the delicate vulnerability and painstaking hopefulness that
Young intended. Another very noticeable change in Ronstadt, once described by Young as "a soulful girl with big .,///S, brown eyes, " was the new-found ..,, · ease with which she performed . Having once sang with expression less emotion and movements that had all the dexterity of a robot , Ronstadt 's face and body revealed a renewed interest and feeling for her material. This change could very well be responsible for a stronger bond with her audience than ever . Like the song says , " I think they' re going to love her for a long , long time ."

E ver find yoursel f with a free eve ning, little more to do than halfhea rte dly change the chan nels on the T. V.? That might not be your problem now with finals coming up , but dur ing the summer when t he comm erci a l networks air lukewarm leftovers you may want an alterna tive. Well, you've got it. Channe l 12 is probably the station you find your self skipping over without stopping to take a look and see what they have to offer . I can give it to you in a word . Everything . That include s instructional programs like Nova to grea t old movies . Public television is much more than educat ional and if you've been a victim of th is sort of misconcep tion you re al ly owe it to yourself to sit down and turn it on. For all of you cloak and dagger freaks there is the Mystery series each Tuesday night at 9 o'clock .
They just finished up a super producti on of Daphene du Maur ier 's thriller Rebecca. Right now they're ln the midt of the tel evision adaptations of the best Dick Franc is novels. Fra n cis, an exsteeplechase rider, base s his stories on the world he knows best, that of racing. Hi s central ch ar acter Sid. an exju mp jock himself. and his side kick Chico, are in the investigation business. The story each week revolves aro und some "mystery" in the raci ng world. The production is well put together, the locations in E ngland are both beautiful and a change of pace, and the stories don' t follow any seq uence so you can jump in now without having m issed any vital informa tion. So , next time you moan that there 's nothing on T.V. think aga in and give the altern ative a try, channel 12.

Cabrini's campus ...fact or fiction BY JIM LAWLOR The story you are ·about to read is false. No names have been - :A..,.,changed because none are used. - _• The reason for the story is simple, I figured it was the last issue of "Loquitur ," and, what the hell, I'd wing it and see what happened. An old friend of mine came on ._, campus to see me recently. I believe it was the Thursday before Palm Sunday. The last we'd seen each other was August of 1978, when we were both at the shore. After that he went off to a large state university in New Jersey, and I came to Cabrini. Our nearly two year reunion proved interesting. Pulling into our 110 rolling acres, my friend figured the best thing to do would be to check the campus map . Baffled and feeling a little foolish after ten minutes at the map, my friend decided to look for the mail building to obtain my dorm and room number. A passerby answered my friend that the "mail building" was in the bookstore, which was in another building, Sacred Heart Hall. Puzzled but determined, my friend followed the directions given him, and found Albert's quite easily . He approached the door but there was one problem, it was between nine and five on a weekday, and the bookstore was closed. Dismayed, my friend decided to
walk around and check things out for a while. He entered the main wing of the basement of Sacred Heart. He was delighted to see a sign reading "Wigwam, Student Snack Bar." Hastily he approached the door, but, alas, it was between nine and five on a week day and the Wiggy, too, was closed . My friend decided that this was all a bit frustrating, so he decided a game of pinball would relax him. He saw the sign that said "gameroom" and entered. Unforhmately for my friend, there were no pinball machines in sight. About to give up, my friend walked to the end of the hall, and up the steps to the second floor. Here he found only classrooms, but there were no classes going on. A thought occurred to him, "Maybe the nuns make them all go to mass during Lent or something, and that's where everyone is." Pondering this, he continued down the hall. As he opened the double doors, there were fifty people pouring out of the gym. I was one of them. My eyes caught him, and I took a double take. I walked up to him, and we exchanged some exuberant hellos and what's news. "Were you in gym class?" he asked. "No," I replied. "That was a
student body meeting." "Oh," he said. I went on to explain to him that on Tuesdays and Thursdays at around one things are rather dead because that time is set aside for meetings and whatnot, so many people were due in three or four places at that time. That was the cause of his difficulty. He told me that he was home for spring break and decided to stop by. "When is your spring break?" he asked. "Well," I answered, "our Easter vacation is next week." "Oh." He said. We walked back to Counsel Hall and up to my room . Unfortunately, I had a lot of work to do that day, and intramurals that night. "Well," he said, "You do your work now and tonight after the game we'll go to the campus pub for a few beers." "The Fork-in-the-road is closed due to inclement weather ." I said. He was confused so I explained that we had no pub and the Forkin-the-road bit was a small joke. "Oh." He said. "well, I'm going to take a shower if that's O.K." he continued, lifting my towel and soap from their shelves, "Where are they?" "It's across the hall" "It?" "There is only one," I explained. "Oh." He said.
After he showered, we decided "All of them." I answered. to see if the Wigwam was open yet. "Where is the commuter caf?" We found that it wasn't. It was he asked. realtively close to dinner time, so "Here." I answered. we figured we'd hang out in Sacred "Oh," he said. Heart for a while.

Valley F-orge Pal"'kan historic playground BY MARYANN RIBICK Spring's here, the sun's out and everyone is anxious to get outside and enjoy the weather . But what is there to do? Of course you can study under a tree or sit in the sun, but what if you want to do something a little different? Have you ever con sidered nearby Valley Forge Park? In a week or so, depending on the weather, Valley Forge will be bright with its famous Dogwood blossoms. A stop at the Visitor 's Center will provide you with answers to any questions you might have and a map of the park. Regularly scheduled tours are available for a fee from mid-April through October, and history buffs will enjoy the book store featuring printed materials on the Revolutionary War.
Six miles of bicycle trails and ten miles of horse trails offer a chance for some vigorous activity. Jogging is another popular activity at the park as well as picnicing. There are two picnic areas open now. There are no open fires allowed in the park , but the one picnic area does have grills which may be used for cooking. Those interested in the historical aspects of the park will find slide presentations every 30 minutes in the Visitor's Center , tours throughout the day from 8:30 a .m . to 5:00p.m. of Washington 's Head quarters. On weekends tours of General Varnum 's Headquarters and of the Muhlenberg Brigade are also available from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Weekend tours are hosted by people in costumes of the period. The park itself is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. every day until

June 22 when the summer program gets into full swing and the hours are extended until 6:00 p.m . "At Valley Forge , the National Park Service is trying to preserve the historic objects of the period and accurately highlight the period of Washington's winter encampment as much as possible, T. Folkers, National Park Service, said ." While at Valley Forge you won't want to miss Washington Memorial Chapel and the Valley Forge Historical Society Museum, both open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Carillon concerts are an added attraction on Sundays and those in search of souvenirs can find a good selection at both the Cabin Shop near the Chapel and the gift shops of the park service . No tour would be complete without a visit to the Freedoms Foundation open Monday through
Saturday from 10:00 a.m . to 4:30 p.m. Free tours are available year-round . The Freedoms Foundation boasts Independence Garden, the Spirit of '76 Library and a number of exhibits highlighting the achievements of many well-known Americans and their contributions to the development of the United States. The Medal of Honor Grove pro- . vides a scenic walk and picnic area as well as serving as a solemn memorial to those American servicemen holding the nation's highest military decoration. The Patriot's Path leads along formal gardens and memorial tablets honoring the nation's top military awards for valor. "A ten minute film presentation help give visitors an idea of what the Freedom's Foundation is about," said Martha Mack, Direc-
tor of Visitors Center "Special programs are also available," she added . Beginning June 1, and various Sundays throughout the summer , musical concerts will feature top musical units and military bands. "These concerts are openair, people are welcome to bring their blankets and chairs to sit on," Kenneth Wells III, Public Relations Director for the Freedoms Foundation said . ''On the Sundays of the concerts, we stay open longer than our usual 12:00 noon to 4 :00 p.m. so that people can come earlier and tour the Freedoms Foundation before the concert begins at 7:00p.m.," Wells added. So, when you're looking for something to do, why not head out to enjoy the sun and Valley Forge country!
