Cafeteria compromise reached BY OLIVIA PETTENGILL With the change in food service here at Cabrini, from Stouffer's to Seiler's, there Qave been several major policy changes that have affected the students and staff, particularly the commuting population. During the last school year, the Stouffer's Corporation served the Cabrini · campus . The food service was run basically on an a la carte basis. Residents had meal cards to present at each meal, while commuters paid cash for any · item on the menu which they purchased. Commuters ate in the same area as the residents, whether they brought their own lunch in a brown bag or bought lunch from the cafeteria. At the beginning of this school year, the Seiler's Corporation took over the food service on campus. The contract which Seiler's holds
is totally new and different, and involves major changes in the methods of providing meals for the campus. This contract provides three meals per day per week for residents and allows commuters to buy lunch on a food cost only basis. This is much cheaper than an a la carte basis as we had last year. However, provisions were not made for commuters who are brown-baggers, and they were left with no place to eat t-heir lunch. Mary Goldner, chairperson of the food committee, said, "The major problem concerning the commuters was their lack of options, when it came to the brown-baggers. They were not giving any appropriate alternative to the closed cafeteria." The majority of the students and faculty were unaware of this change of policy until they arrived at school on Sept. 4. As a result, the

To some it may not
seem fair, but this was the only feasible conclusion we could come to after much discussion ." Several commuters were asked how they felt about the new arrangements . Kathy Daly, senior commuter representative said, "I'm not thrilled with the compromise, however, under the circumstances it appears to be the only solution. Although brownbagging commuters will now be able to eat in the cafeteria, they remain a separate part of the community." Fran McGuigan, senior , said, "It's better than what they had. As far as the wall goes, I think that stinks, because it's separating the commuters . It's stupid." Mandy Dixon, freshman, said, "The only part I don't like is separating the commuters from the residents. It defeats the purpose of commuters being a part of the com'.llunity that Cabrini stands for, because it separates us."

Jubilee brings memories BY CONNIE AIELLO Terry Lamb Murphy said she vividly remembered her former classmate for the "crazy pajama parties she used to throw." Murphy was among 300 other invited guests who shared remembrances during the 25th anniversary celebration of Sisterhood for her former classmate, Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, president of Cabrini College. The celebration was held on Sunday, September 14. Sullivan said that a celebration after 25 years as a sister is a "common practice." She said she chose the theme "Praise God from Whom All Things Flow." Sullivan said the celebration she chose was a liturgy followed by a luncheon "for the people I have met, many of · whom have helped me as a
sister. The past twenty-five years have been a kaleidoscope of memories of people and places. The majority of people celebrating with me are campus people, family, friends, trustees, advisory board, and class of '55." The principal celebrant of the 25th anniversary liturgy was Bishop George H. Guilfoyle, of Camden, NJ. The Delaware County Community Chorus sang current, traditional and classical music throughout the liturgy. Sister Sharon Morano, dean of students at Cabrini College, performed a liturgical dance. The master of ceremonies for the luncheon, Dr. Adrienne O'Brien, friend and schoolmate of Sullivan, interjected remembrances of school days throughout the luncheon. O'Brien
said she remembers "fixing (Sister) Mary Lou up with my 6'2" brother. She said she also remembered her "as a cheerleader for Cabrini High." During the luncheon, speeches were given by Sullivan's associates and friends. Guilfoyle, who was also guest speaker during the luncheon, remarked about Sullivan's dedication in the religious life and also spoke about the dedication needed for service in the religious life. Following the luncheon, Sullivan joined with former classmates in singing the alma mater of Cabrini high school and recalling their school days. "She was always so organized, even though she pulled all-nighters, even during graduate work." O'Brien said.
BY JAMIE DAUGHERTY The new houses have been completed and additional flair has been added to the Cabrini Campus. Each new residence has a look all its own, .yet it follows either a traditional, colonial, or contemporary architectural structure . Although the homes are somewhat the same size, due to the different layouts, the last four residences are able to provide room for more students. The three original houses, Maguire House, Dixon House, and Infante House, each allows room for twenty students. Houses four, five, and six, or McManus House, Casey House, and Lanshe House, each provides room for twentythree students. House number
seven, Sullivan House, allows room for twenty-five students. One difference in the interior of the residences is the bathrooms . Maguire, Dixon, and Infante Houses each has private bathrooms for single use only . McManus, Casey, Lanshe, and Sullivan Houses allow for more than one to use the bathroom, providing an "optimum for resident students," according Sister Sharon Morano, dean of students. Morano also feels there is a possibility of furnishing the basements to give the students more area for recreation. While each bedroom sleeps two, no one is cramped. Each room is spacious and provides ample room for each student, according to Morano.
