Campus center expands growth BY MARY C. GOLDNER This past summer $1.5 million was given -to Cabrini College for the funding of a new )llulti-purpose building. Since that time the idea and the dream have become The George D. Widener Campus Center. Mr. and Mrs. F. Eugene Dixon made the money available through the George D. Widener trust. Plans for the campus center were speeded up considerably with the endowment received. No one expected to have this opportunity so soon, with actual groundbreaking moved up by years. Mr. Heiberger, vice-president for development, reported that official groundbreaking should happen in late Fall and actual completion of project be late Fall of '81. The campus center will house the now existing student center, located in the basement of Sacred Heart Hall. This encompasses the WigWam, T.V. lounge, broadcasting studio, the publication offices, dean of students office, SGA office, game room and campus ministry. The director of resident Life will also have his office in the building. These will be expanded in size.
The Campus Center will be located on the green between Counsel Hall and Sacred Heart Hall, also using a section of -the parking lot. Structurally th,• building will be two stories, but will appear to be 1 1/2 stories high. The first floor will be built into the ground so when entering you will walk down. Other facilities that will be provided include a large social area to be used for class, SGA or assorted club functions such as dances and parties. This room is on the ground floor so to buffer any noise that may occur. A lecture halt will also be in this building. It will be set up in movie theater fashion. It will be accessible from the fround floor. The game room as we know it now will be enlarged and many more games will be installed. A major problem facing Cabrini now is the lack of quiet or study areas for students resident or nonresident. This has been resolved in the structure of the campus center. Many small and large areas and individual rooms have been worked into the master plan. Albert's Bookstore as it is now
will be changed considerably. The mailroom and the bookstore will become separate. The mail boxes are to be set where Albert can put the mail in from one side and on the other you can pick it up. These will be located as you enter the bulding. "I think the changes to be made in the bookstore could be very beneficial to Albert as well as the students. The separate rooms for the bookstore and the mailroom could alleviate a lot of the crowding that occurs when students come to check their boxes. I definitely think it is a good idea," said Donna Brophy, bookstore employee. Sister Sharon Morano, MSC, dean of students, Madonna Marion-Landais, assistant to the dean of students and Gus Nicoletti, director of resident life, will all have their offices located on the second floor. "I'm excited about the proposed campus center. The need for additional facilities for both student and staff will not only provide efficient office operations but also a place that can coordinate campus and community activities.

Sister Mary Louise- Sullivan, MSC, president of Cabrini College, said they hoped to also include an outdoor amphitheater for concerts, etx., if there are enough funds. It was also said that
hopefully during the summer months arrangements culd be made for groups that were having meetings or conventions. The houses and the center could be utilized in the off season.
Dixon dollars aid growth
Dorm council, S.G.A.
and now are funding the building of the campus center. The campus center is the major aspect of the growth campaign for 1980and 1981.The building will house a radio station, a theatre, a game room, an outdoor lecture hall, and a host of other things. It will bear the name George D. Widener, in honor of the Dixon's trust. In addition to her function in fund raising, Mrs. Dixon has an eye on the direction of growth. As for the goal of growth, she feels that it is important to "preserve the small school atmosphere because there are some students who do not prefer the large campuses, and they have a right to an option." Dixon feels the admissions department has been outstanding in pursuing the 600 student goal. She also credits admissions, as well as other campus groups, with sponsoring events which have given Cabrini a high public visibility. This she considers inseparable from the goals of growth. As far as the structural growth of Cabrini is concerned, Dixon feels that after the completion of the campus center there will be little new construction. Rather, there will be extensive renovation of existing facilities. Academics is another area of

Edith Robb Dixon has a great interest in the future of Cabrini College. In her position as chairperson of the board of trustees, the philanthropist can act on that interest. ~ Dixon was appointed chairperson in May of this year, and is very pleased with and excited about the position. "I enjoy the association here more than that on other boards. At the moment, Cabrini is my number one priority," she said. The main concern of Dixon is the growth and development campaign of which the college is in the midst. The main job of the chair is with the raising of funds. Dixon is very experienced in this area, having served as head of the annual fund drive in 1976 and being instrumental in the first Friends of Cabrini benefit. She was also very active in fund raising in other years. Additionally, Dixon has personally funded the college, both through private donations and the George D. Widener Trust. According to John Heiberger, vice president of development, Mrs. Dixon, and her husband F. Eugene Dixon, have been responsible for the psychology lab, renovations in Sacred Heart Hall, much equipment in the athletic department, many improvements in the threatre,

The conflict between the dean of students office and the student government association concerning the establishment of dorm councils should be resolved by this time. ,,. The S.G.A. voted, at their meeting on Sept. 23, to not recognize the dorm council. The vote was 20-0 with 2 abstentions. Apparently the fear of the S.G.A. was that the councils, each of which will have its own. constitution, would supplant the rights and duties of both the students and the S.G.A. established in the S.G.A. constitution. Acting on that vote, the S.G.A. put out a letter to the campus stat_ ing that they would not recognize "any form of resident aouncil." 1 The letter was sent out on Sept. 25. That same day, the dean of students office put out a response to the S.G.A. letter, saying, among other things, that "there is no conflict of roles between the organizational structure and by-laws of the Student Government Association and the dorm councils." The issue remained that way until the next S.G.A. meeting on Sept. 30. Gus Nicoletti, director of resident life ( an administrative branch of the dean of students office) was to address the S.G.A. about the issue at 8 p.m.
All other business was concluded by about 7:30 and the time between that and Nicoletti's appearance was marked by little mini-caucuses. At one minute S.G.A. president Bernadette Lynch would be conferring with her vice president Mary C. Goldner, the next Goldner would be talking with Nicoletti, then Lynch with Nicoletti, then Goldner with various S.G.A. officers, etc. When the formal meeting reconvened shortly after 8 p.m., Lynch announced Nicoletti, stating that he would speak on dorm councils, a "rather revolutionary new thing on campus." Ncioletti explained basically that dorm councils were part of a drive to promote co-responsibility in residency. The aim of this is to have responsibility in residency to peers, not to a policeman-like authority figure. He explained further that dorm council constitutions are in-house rules. Rules in a dorm council constitution are agreed upon by the people in the house, to be followed by the people in a house, to promote a harmonious living condition in that house. Nicoletti explained further that all students are held to the S.G.A. constitution and that no dorm council constitution would be in More COUNCILS on 3

Editorial Funding growth Nobody can deny that there is an aura of growth on campus. There are new roads, sidewalks, houses, and construction is soon to begin on a campus center. The number of students is increasing, and the campus is expanding to meet their needs. Among all this growth there is one interesting fact; all the expansion has come at little added expense to the student. The reason for this is the generosity of philanthropists and charitable trusts, and the hard work of the administration. All deserve our recognition. First and foremost to be recognized are Mr. and Mrs. F. Eugene Dixon. Their George D. Widener Trust has generated funds for the renovation of Sacred Heart Hall and the threatre, and will fund the building of the campus center. The Dixons also contribute more than $10,000in private donations annually. Anna M. Bruckmann is another major contributor to the college. For the past five years Ms. Buckmann has donated $15,000a year for scholarships. It is her mother who donated the campus chapel and the chemistry lab, both of which bear the family name. The order of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart has also been a major source of funding. The order has established an endowment for the college, which, in the past two years has generated $1.4 million worth of housing, funding the construction of six of the seven houses. · The first house was built with funds from the Pew Memorial Trust, a gift from the Laffey-McHugh Foundation, private donations and college funding. Another contributor which can't go unnoticed is the Ethel Sergeant Clark Smith Memorial Fund which donated $27,000which was used for the growth of the computer program. Another source of scholarship money is the W.W. Smith Charitable Trust, which has provided $18,000 in two years for that purpose. Marie Louise McHugh and the Laffey-McHugh Foundation contribute a combined sum of over $15,000 a year to Cabrini. The above-mentioned and a host of other contributors deserve the .acknowledgement and gratitude of the entire campus. The Loquitur hereby extends a thank you. Also to be thanked are the alumni, who have donated dollars and more. There are many Cabrini grads who donate time and service for the raising of money. The Designer House Tour, which is going on now, is only the most recent in a series of fund raising events sponsored by the alumni association. Finally, special recognition must be given to college president, Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, and John Heiberger, vice president for development, for their coordination and management of the growth campaign, without which all the progress we've seen may never have begun .

WiH these tots ever grow up and learn to cooperate, or will they spend the rest of the year crying over spilt milk? In all seriousness, the handling of the dorm council situation showed, to say the least, a lack of professionalism on the part of both the Student Government Association and the Dean of Students Office. To say the most it showed immaturity. The SGA voted too soon to not recognize dorm councils, which was evidenced when it became clear that the votes of the elected representatives did not reflect the opinions of their consitutuencies . The Dean of Students Office is equally guilty for not releasing the facts about something which shouldn't have been an issue until it was a major one. We certainly hope that both parties will be more responsible in the future.
Letters Life:· a plea Dear Editor; I am a prisoner on death row at the Ariz. State Prison and have been here for three and a half years. I have a rather unusual request to make of you. I don't have any family as I was raised in an orphanage because my parents were killed in a car accident when I was a baby. I also don't have any money to fight my death penalty with and the request that I have is that you run this letter in your school newspaper for law students or students of criminology to read or just anyone that might be intefested. I need funds drastically to fight my case and to get an investigator who can find things out for me that I need to know for my appeal. There is no doubt that I am guilty of the crimes that I am here for and in my appeal I am not trying to get released to the streets but just to have my sentence reduced to life in prison. I do feel that since I am guilty of my charges that I should have to pay for them in some way but I don't happen to agree with the death penalty. At least I don't feel that the state has the right to just take people out and execute them anymore than individuals have the right to murder anyone. In exchange for any help that I might receive from any student or students or anyone that might want to help me in this fight for my life I would be willing to give the details of my crime and other crimes that I have pulled in the past and have done time for in another state to maybe help them with their classes. Also I cc,uld write what it is like to live on death row and to be in prison in general. I would also answer any que5tions - they might have and try to write any kind of papers or essays that might help them out. There are a lot of things that go on in prisons that people don't know about that need to be changed. There are also a lot of things that I feel lead a person to a life of crime in the first place. The only way we are ever going to eliminate the problem of the rising crime rate in the United States is to study its cause and then . prevent it; not by placing people in prison after they have committed the crime and not by building bigger and better prisons and handing out stiffer prison sentences. Most prisons in America are just schools for crime or places to turn borderline criminals into real animals to be released upon the community at the end of their sentences. It also drives a lot of people totally insane who might otherwise have been good citizens and a profit to society and they end up in hospitals the rest of their lives. This is about all that I have to offer and I know it isn't much but if it could help or save one young person from a life that could end up in the gas chamber then I think it just might be worth it. If anyone is interested write to Larry E. Evans, Ariz. State Prison 36165,Box 629, Florence, Arizona 85232. Cash or personal checks will not be accepted by the prison . Postal money orders only and any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Larry E. Evans

SGA •issues: security and dorm councils BYPAMCLARK
The top issued of recent SGA meetings have been complaints concerning dorm councils and Cabrini's security. At a meeting held September 23, the SGA voted not to recognize the dorm councils. The vote, which was 20--0-2,is a clear indication of the association's disfavor with dorm councils. The security was the other big issue at the meetings. Maguire House (House 1) was broken into and the furniture was stolen . In addition, there have been several other attempts to break into the house. Woodcrest has been receiving obscene pho~ calls and a color T.V. was taken from the lobby
of the hall. Several suggestions to improve security have been made and the SGA hopes that the Radnor police will be able to come to Cabrini to talk to students about self-defense and secuity. The students are very nervous about these intrusions and many feel that two security guards are not sufficient. Switching to other issues, Mr. Heilberger of the Development office spoke to the SGA concerning the proposed student union building. Plans are being made to break ground for the new building in October or November of 1980, with the building's opening scheduled for Fall of 1981. As for the Wigwam , a contract
has been put together for it. The snack bar now has two managers, a head manager and an assistant. According to figures, there are not enough workers to cover the 108 hours a week the Wigwam is open. In a related story, the SGA has bought a new covering for the pool table in the game room. Pin ball machine policy was also discussed. The SGA has decided to purchase the ice machine it had previously rented for $50.00. The cost will be $600.00, with the SGA paying $300.00 and the academic dean's office paying the difference . The SGA voted, 20--0-1, for the next administration to
reimburse the academic dean's office. As far as social activities go. Maureen Burns reported that the SGA welcome back dance made a profit of $150.00, while Kappa Sigma Omega asked SGA for a $250.00 loan to help cover the costs of a "Hawaiian Night" dance held September 26. The SGA voted 25--0-0to loan the money to Kappa. Junior-Senior Weekend is scheduled for November 7 in the Valley Forge Hilton. The dance will include a Super Sound Disc Jockey, a fog machine, and an open bar. Tickets are $25.00 each. A Homecoming Committee will soon be appointed by Kathy Cordilla.
The buildings that are being redecorated for the Designer's Tour will be completed very soon. The tour dates are set for the weeks of Oct. 6 and Oct. 13. Each building will be decorated to represent a different theme. For example, the Gatehouse is being decorated in the theme of a "country gentleman ." Profits from the tours are being added to the Alumni Scholarship Fund. The Junior class is in desperate need of a treasurer. As of now, two candidates are on the ballot. In other election news, the CCA needs new members. Two seniors, two juniors , two sophomores, and one "at large" are needed to make up CCA.

Maguire BY THERESA COLLINS AND DENISE J. TERIFAY
The Maguire House was broken into on the night of Wednesday, Sept. 24. At 9 p.m., the girls that live in the house found four bricks keeping the cellar door open. They closed the door and tried to get in touch with Gus Nicoletti, director of resident life. Gus never came. They eventually went over to his ""housebut didn't get any response, according to junior Debbie Logan. "At2 :05 a.m., Karen Opaie and I were in the lobby and we heard the basement door open . We immediately got Dona Monforto, head resident. We all heard voices and footsteps on the stairs. When we walked over towards the stairs, we heard the footsteps going down the stafrs," Logan said . Security and John Derham were called. They found the lights on in the basement. They were turned off earlier in the evening . They searched outside but "found nothing," according to Logan. " The guard stayed in the lobby and everyone else went to bed," Logan said. "At 3 a.m. Carol Ann Gui;1;lielmi,

Eight local bands compete for trophies BY DEBBIE JABLONSKI
The air was filled with sounds of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments as the Fourth Annual Marching Band Festival got underway on Sept. 28th. "Bands participating in this year's festival are invited," states Adeline Bethany, assistant professor in fine arts and music and coordinator of the festival. Participating high school bands were Harriton, Archbishop ·carroll, Lower Moreland, Garnet Valley, Upper Darby, Cardinal O'Hara, Radnor and Great Valley . The bands were evaluated on music, general effectiveness of march and maneuvering and execution of music . Each band had 15 minutes moving time and were pen'alized if they went overtime. Also, each band received a trophy for participating with the ratings excellent, superior, outstanding
and good, according to the judges' scores. For many of the band directors the festival is used as a means of building morale among the members, of motivating the members and of showing off the efforts put into drilling and music practice of the students. "I enjoy having our band participate in this event because it is a relaxed atmosphere, more formal than a football game, and gives us a chance to march in front of an appreciative audience and other bands," states Mr. Schauer, Band Director of Harriton High School. On the other hand, Barbara Verducci, Band Director of Garnet Valley thought, "Although the festival was organized, the time shceduling should have been better. When we arrived we were told to go right onto the field without our half hour warm-up."

Satire and dra.ma BY JEANNE PROKO
What did a murder, a card game, and a domineering mother have in common? A lot of work , time, memorization and fun in the Little Theatre's production of An Evening of One Act Plays held September 26 through September-28. "If Men Played Cards as Women Do" included a cast of senior Keith Hickman and freshmen Bob Checchia, Brook Dankmyer and Andy Zipfel. The playwright satirized what a typical woman would talk about at a card game, using males instead . Daniele Perna chose "If Men Played Cards as Women Do" because, "I found boys that we could really use. I had to use them fast to keep them involved in the theatre. It's a challenging piece for them to start the season with." Sound effects by Kathy Adams, Bob Checcia, Jeanne Proko, Andrew Zipfel, Sandra McNamara and Broolc Dankmyer aided Mary Alice Fitzpatrick's performance as Mrs. Stevenson in "Sorry, Wrong Number." Mrs. Stevenson, a rich elderly invalid, accidentally hears a phone
call between two men planning a murder . The story deals with her conversations between various operators and the New York City Police Department by the only means possible to her-the telephone . This play is a shortened version of an earlier movie that gave flashbacks of Mrs. Stevenson as a pamper.eel young woman used to getting what she wanted . "Sorry, Wrong Number" shows her frustrations, anxieties and final terror as she seeks to trap the killers. Mental child abuse in the early 1900s proved the main factor in "Motherlove." For years, the mother, played by Jeanne Proko, verbally bullied into her daughter Helene's head that Helene's father ran off because he was a "goodfor-nothing." The story deals with the eighteen-year-old Helene's knowledge and acceptance of her mother's prostitution, from her half-sister, Lisen. Helene and Lisen were protrayed by Sandra McNamara and Dona Monforto, respectively.

House tour offers history lesson BY KATHY BRUST
The Designers' House Tour (Oct. 5-15) gives siudents the opportunity to learn about Cabrini's history while benefitting the Alumni Association 's Scholarship Fund. Few people know anything about the history of the estate which is now Cabrini College. While the tour shows off the elegance and simplicity of the designers' work it can also explain the college's history. The estate that houses the college was known as "Woodcrest Farms." It was built by James W . Paul afte r his wife, Fanny Drexel Paul, died in 1893. The 230 acres of heavily-wooded land extended to both sides of Upper Gulph Road and had boundaries of both King of Prussia and Eagle Roads. Renowned Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer designed the buildings . They were completed in 1902. The mansion overlooked the Radnor Valley and the farm buildings were centered around Upper Gulph Road . Between the mansion and the farm buildings were a stable complex, formal gardens, greenhouses and vegetable gardens . A half-timbered gatehouse beside an ornamental iron gate greeted visitors as they entered the estate. The gatehouse and the limestone pillars remain at at the entrance of the college, but the gates have gone. What is now Grace Hall was the two-story stable complex. It had 12 single and nine box stalls. The complex also had a coachman's and groom's quarters, a tool house, a carriage house, cart shed, machinery room, tack room, feed rooms, hay storage and seven servant apartments. The large towers served as ventilation shafts for the stables. The mansion as it is today has not changed very much, externally, from what it was in 1902. It is of the Elizabethan (Tudor) style of 17th century England. Other structures on the estate included a potting house, a garage, an employees' garage, tennis and squash courts, a large reservoir near the farm buildings and a springhouse. In 1925, Dr. John T. Dorrance, founder and president of the Campbell Soup Company, bought a large portion of the property for an estimated one million dollars.
The Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart acquired the estate in 1954and Cabrini College was established in 1957. When you take the Designers' Tour two of the places that you visit are the gatehouse and the springhouse. The gatehouse was once called the Lodge and is made from Conshohocken "local" stone and limestone trim . It is also trimmed with small carved figures called grotesques. The grotesques usually had an iconography attached that would convey what was happening in the area or in the family. The grotesques found on the gatehouse and the mansion denote a hunting theme. Two of the designer rooms in the gatehouse are the kitchen and a little girl's bedroo.m. The kitchen was designed by the Hurlbrink House of Kitchens of West Chester. It was designed with the small country kitchen in mind . The kitchen is a light, airy room done in soft reds and blues with white. Open beams in white oak were added to the room to heighten that airy, country feeling . The walls in the rooms have been done in stucco and in the kitchen, with red calico insets on the window casements, this all adds to the country flavor. The sunny yellow bedroom for a little girl was done by Inside Outlook, Inc . of Exton . Designers Roxann Douglas and Virginia Nanin tried to catch the sun with lemon-iprigged wallpaper, curtains and fabric. The architectural differences in the room were highlighted through the use of the wallpaper and shirred fabric creating a canopy-like effect. The springhouse was originally built to protect the estate's water supply in the reservoir near the farm buildings. When Dorrance bought the estate the reservoir was filled in and a swimming pool and dressing rooms were added . The loft and the living room were designed by Joseph Dobrowolski Associates for Ardmore. Both rooms were done with a mountain hide-away motif. The Ii ving room is done in natural tones of beige and light browns, as is the loft. The furniture, by This End Up, gives both rooms a modern yet rustic look. The fireplace dominates the livfog room and you are reminded of snowy mountain days in a hunting lodge.
Jugglers don't catch kids BY REGINA O'LEARY
•
The "Give and Take Jugglers" marked the beginning of The Children's Series Productions at Cabrini College. On Sept. 21, "The Jugglers" came to the Little Theatre for two performances. They are a group of three jugglers and one bongo player. The "Jugglers," under the direction of Dave Gillies, were aversatile group of performers who worked with a wide range of objects, from tennis rackets to plungers. Q}rick hands provided constant movement of these tossed objects. Their performance was spellbinding for a time, but was interrupted by the falling of uncaught
objects thrown out of time. The group tried to lighten up the seriousness of their performance by telling mild jokes, but they seemed to lose the kids. Maybe this was the reason that two child mimes, Bip and Bop came out to entertain. Their pink and purple clown suits were the only things that were really outstanding in their skit. The skit seemed awkward, the movements restless and the juggling uneasy and shaky. After the almost unsuccessful try at comedy, the "Jugglers" again took the stage with firesticks. The act was very suspenseful, though a buzzing smoke alarm was distracting.

New tradition for Kappa BY MARY C. GOLDNER
September 18, 1980 marked the beginning of another tradition here at Cabrini. In a place that is so steeped in tradition it seemed only fitting that Kappa Sigma Omega celebrate their first pinning ceremony in rustic Grace Hall. Kappa Sigma Omega has been a major part of the Cabrini family for many years. Working closely with the admissions office, they are the liaison between Cabrini and interested students who come to see the college. The ceremony was at 4:45 p.m . and was attended by Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, MSC, President, Joseph Romano, vice president of academic affairs, Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson of English communications department, Mrs. Oristaglio, director of admissions and several members of the admissions staff. ¡ This was not only a special day for Kappa members, but also for their m_oderator, Dr. Carter
Craigie, Craigie beamed as he called the names of the members receiving pins. "The Kappa Sigma Omega pin ceremony was just what I dreamed it would be . Seeing the room filled with such an outstanding group of campus leaders gave me a feeling of pride to be associated with them . The 1980-81 Kappas are really tops," said Craigie. Kappa's main function is not only to give tours on campus, but also plan, coordinate and finance Parents' Weekend. To compensate for cost, Kappa had a Hawaiian night that was a huge success on Sept. 26. According to Maryann Ribick they also have moved on and now help sponsor Alumni Weekend scheduled this year fQr Oct. 4th. The pins that were made for the Kappa members have their name and the name of the organization on them. The money for the pins was donated by the student government association last
semester . "SGA was asked for the money for the pins and voted unanimously to donate the funds to this organization. We all felt Kappa deserved the pins," Detsy Lynch, SGA president, said. Kappa has moved along very smoothly with all the growth Cabrini has seen in recent years. They now have the largest membership ever to work with the evergrowing student population. Connie Aiello, a member of Kappa for three years, says, "We are not just associated with the admissions office, but also with the Alumni Office and running activities." Many Kappa members were proud upon receiving their pins. All feel it gives more of a professional look to the organization and school. Maryann Ribick, senior, was elected president of KSO last .semester. She and other Kappa members stress that the organization is open to all interested students.

According to Daniele Perna, the theater is one of Cabrini's most imaginative and expressive ways in which students can get involved. Under his direction, the 1;tudent players act with the young audience in order to incorporate and involve them with the production.
The first production held at Cabrinf's Graee Hall Theater was "Red Shoes," 1975. It was a huge success and became the beginning for a more expansive project. Such favorites as "The Wizard of Oz," "Pinocchio" and "Cinderella" have pleased young and old alike within the walls of the theater. In addition to performing at Cabrini, the student players also take their acts to neighboring elementary and junior high schools. Mr. Perna feels theater is an excellent way for a student to find his or her potential and here at Cabrini, one can do just that.

Dream fulfilled BY MAUREEN CARROLL
The great grandaughter of the man who is responsible for establishing Cabrini missionaries in China is a freshman here on campus. Toni Lo, a special education major, is a descendent of Lo-Po-Hong , a wealthy Shanghai sea merchant who fulfilled Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini 's lifelong dream of spreading God's word to the people of the orient . Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, president of the college , related the story of how this materialized . At the 1926Eucharistic Congress held in Chicago, Mr. Lo-Po-Hong saw the Cabrini Sisters' display, and by talking to them , learned of Mother Cabrini's dream. He presented them with plans for a school and dispensary in China, six boat tickets, and a promise of sponsorship .
Due to the political situation in 1949, the missions, then six in number and located from the north to the south of China, had to close. But during those years, many Chinese girls joined the missionary order. Toni was born in north Philadelphia, but at the age of six, moved to Taipei, Taiwan, because her father's chemical company transferred him . There she attended a school for foreigners where the majority of students were children of either ambassadors or military men. She had a private tutor in Chinese and can speak the language fluently as well as picking up a little Taiwanese . Unlike the Taiwanese schools where the dress and the haircut were uniform and discipline strict, Toni's school was very Americanized although some of the
by freshman's teaching methods were quite radical compared to what we experience here in the United States . Classes sometimes were informal, sitting on pillows and absorbing the information. Also, there were journeys into parts of Taiwan to learn about the culture. The school also made trips to Japan and Hong Kong on the premise that one learns more through experience and informality. "Your learn a lot when the setting isn't formal ," claims Toni. She says that students in Taiwan are into foreign 1affairs, "feeling that they are obligated to present a good image for the United States ovetseas." They enjoy debating on political topics, hoping someday to be ambassadors themselves . There were forty nine graduates in her class, and over half now attend college. Toni was involved in Student Government, pep club,

She remarked, "In Taiwan differences brought people together . There was more to talk about. You were always meeting new people of various ethnic and religious backgrounds." Toni hopes to work with mentally handicapped children some day, perhaps overseas . At Cabrini, she is involved in special olympics and the committee for exceptional children. Toni would also like to take some time off to travel and learn different languages. This year, she is studying Spanish. So what does Toni, a second floor resident of Woodcrest think of Cabrini? "The people are really nice . They 're not much different from the people in Taiwan . And the grounds are beautiful."

Despite the size of the freshman class , the college orientation program is being run more smoothly than ever, according to Mary Louise Corbin Sicoli, Ph .D. This is largely due to two interns working at the Rudy Rooymans Counse~ing Center this year. Sicoli was the first intern to work with students four years ago . This is the first year that Cabrini has two interns, Barbara Harris and Maureen Larkin Clayton. Harris is a doctoral intern from Bryn Mawr College working at the Rooymans Center under the supervision of Sicoli. She is primarily responsible for working with freshmen in the Toward a More Effective College Experience program (T AMECE) started about three and a half years ago by Sicoli.

Features Transfer students tell . us who they are BY THERESA KARMINSKI
One thing for sure is that the new - faces on campus are not all Freshmen. This year , Cabrini enrolled about fifty transfer students from all over. We'd like you to meet some of them and hear what brings them to Cabrini. Drew Basile is a Freshman Biology major from Montgomery County Community College. He feels that the atmosphere here is a lot more professional. He described the classes at MONTCO as beeing "too informal, and the teachers are not really concerned about the students." Drew commutes from Audubon and is a member of the South Philadelphia Mummer's String Band where he plays percussion instruments . David Bickel is a Junior from South Bend, Indiana. He was a fine arts major at Villanova University until he switched his major to special education and came to Cabrini. David finds the transition pretty easy because he is still near his friends from Villanova. He works at the Main Point as a doorman .. . but guess what? David is also a musician. He plays new wave and punk rock on guitar. Nancy Brett is an elementary education major from Delaware County Community · College. She commutes from Havertown and enjoys dancing, reading, music , and the outdoors . When asked about Cabrini atmosphere compared to the Community College , Nancy said, "DELCO was a lot easier than Cabrini, although I expected the work load to be more difficult. Also, the teachers take more interest in you as a person. Because it's such a small school you can always get help when you need it." Steve Brown is considered one of the best on our soccer team. He's on a sports scholarship and does an excellent job as goal-keeper . From Ardmore, Steve attended Delaware County for one year. He's a psychology major and finds the transition to Cabrini easy. "There were 7,000 people at Community College and it was hard to get to know anyone, but here, everyone is friendly and knows everybody else ... and their business," he said. Camille Camada attended Philadelphia Community College. Now she's here to study elementary education and early childhood . Camille found out about Cabrini through her sister-in-law, Delores Dalton, who used to be a student here . Camille likes to dance, cook, read, go to the movies and of course, party. "I like it here," she said, "the people are really friendly. Martin Clancy transferred from Lycoming College in Williamsport. He's here on a basketball scholarship and is majoring in business. Martin described the atmosphere here as being similar to high school because it's so small and everyone gets to know everyone else . In regards to the social life, Martin says , "it 's very good." Anita Crisafulli is from Drexel Hill. She previously attended Millersville State College but ./
didn't like the social life. Anita is a sophomore majoring in special education and finds it a lot easier to study here. She likes to travel, go to the shore, and works as a sales girl at Magazine Mart. Over the summer, Anita worked for Upper Darby Recreation as a playground couselor . "I really liked working with children and it was nice to get to do what I wanted with them." she said. Betsy Ely came to us all the way from Holyoke Community College in Massachusetts. Before that, Betsy attended Green Mountain College in Vermont. Obviously , she likes to travel, but other interests include music and bowling. Betsy is a special education major, and for anyone who is curious ... this exclusive interview revealed that she is only four foot eleven inches tall. Suzanne Provost transferred from Harcum Junior College. ~he chose Cabrini because it's small, private and not too far from home . Suzanne feels that everyone here is friendly but she explained that "it's hard coming into a school as a Junior when all your other classmates have been friends for a couple of years.'' Regarding the social life, Suzanne says, "A small school has it's advantages because you can get to know everyone, but it can also work against you since the social activities are somewhat limited ." Sue Sherman.is a junior special education major from Philadelphia. She attended Millersville State College back in '72. Sue used to teach at Irving Schwartz Institute, a private school for emotionally disturbed and learning disabled. She taught six, seven, and eight-year-olds on the first grade level. "I really loved teaching," she said, "so I came back to school to get my certification . Cabrini is nice. I feel like a person here rather than a number . I was really surprised when all the teachers knew my name by the end of the first week ." A very interesting conversation was with Annette Trombetta . Refered to as an "Academic Butterfly," Annette never stays put in one place. She has attended Montgomery County Community College, East Stroudsburg State College and North Hampton Community College . What brings her to Cabririi? It's close to home, reasonably econmical and offers her major in communications and languages. Although she-likes her classes, Annette explained that "some of the teachers lack the ability to communicate their ideas. I don't think that they get to the student's level of understanding." Aside from this provocative insight, Annette has more to say . She has spent thirteen years living in Milan , Italy. "I got to see different cultures and how other people live . Italians are much more relaxed . Nothing over there is rushed, however the American Education System is much better," she said. What does Annette miss? Those romantic Italian men! She describes them as more mature . "They really know how to treat a woman."

When asked how she felt facing team made me want to join." Though the team has lost their the opposing team rushing ·for a first two games, Collins feels that goal, Collins smiled briefly. "I'm not scared, but when my defense is as a whole. they possess talent. "We've got the right attitude and gone and it's me against them, let's just say I'm not always we've got the capabilities, they've just got to be given time to come totally confident of how I'll handle it." Right now Collins sees the relative youth of the team as a plus for the future . Many of the players are freshmen and sophomores and by the time junior and senior year comes for them the work they're putting in now will be very evident. "We're definitely a team and each player gives her total support as a player to every member of the team." For the future Collins sees only improvement. "I'd like to work on my own specific skills more and not just with one girl coming at me but several. Practice like that, with my defense working with me, MARY COLLINS tends goal for the young field hockey team . (Photo by will improve our effectiveness as a unit ." Bernadette Lynch)
BY DIANA McSWEENEY
Did you ever get the feeling, just before you took that first exam in a new course that said, "Hey, I'm not sure I've got this down?" Well that's a pretty close approximation of how sophomore Mary Collins felt the first time she stepped in front of the net to defend the goal for Cabrini's women's field hockey team. "This girl has come from no background whatsoever to intercollegiate play," said Mimi Greenwood, the team's coach. Collins hadn't any previous experience in field hockey. Her background in softball, however, prompted Greenwood to offer her the goalie's position. 1 "I got this position because Mimi felt I had quick feet and good eyefoot motion , " Collins said. Greenwood concurs, "Mary has natural hand-eye coordination and considering she has never seen a seasoned goalie play, her lack of experience is never apparent. So far she has played extremely well against seasoned players and her sense of timing is excellent." Collins became inter-ested in joining the team last semester I

Pat McCanney, the goalie for Cabrini's soccer team was sidelined in the first scheduled game . McCanney suffered from a hair line fracture after being kneed in the rib during the Philadelphia Community College game. Bringing in a goalie is usually a difficult job. Coach Will "Lupe" Langton, however, turned to Steve Brown. Brown was theri the alternate goalie with McCanney. Brown is a transfer student from Delaware County. He has been playing goalie for the past eight years, both in high school and at Delco. Langton had initially planned to have, "Pat play one game and Steve the next until one showed to be significantly better ." During McCanney's injury Langton feels Brown has "played superior soccer." Brown's first impressions of the team were skeptical, he saw "a lot of inexperienced players, but with practice we have shown tremendous improvement. "We're a team
of the future, having a young team, we'll only lose two players to graduation," said Brown. McCanney and Brown work closely together for their individual improvement. Brown feels , "although Pat and I are competing, we work with each
other, helping one another 's game . Pat and I complement each other both on and off the field. We are involved in a friendly competition."
This opinion seems to hold true for the rest of the team . Co-Captain Jeff Brun stated, "Pat and Steve are the two best goalies in the league, as a defender I have equal confidence in both." Fred Torori , co-captain, agrees, "Pat and Steve are interchangeable, they ' accent each other, both are strong assests to the team. Having the two best goalies makes them work twice as hard, neither has a guaranteed position." Coach Langton at the beginning of the season had made no decision on a starting goalie. He felt , "neither had distinguished themselves as the better player . However, both have excellent attitudes and give 100%." McCanney is beginning to work out with the team and is hopeful to STEVE BROWN inherited full- be back in action soon.

Determined, hockey team fights on BY THERESA COLLINS
The women's field hockey team lost their first two games of the season to Rosemont Colle~e on Sept. 19 and Montgomery County Community College on Sept. 26. Rosemont's win of 2--0 did not dampen the spirits of the team nor 1 of the fans, instead it opened their eyes to the potential and ability that the women have. More than half of the team had never played nor seen a field hockey game before.Bystanders, however, would not have noticed this since Cabrini played to their fullest and had a great many shots on goal during the first 15 minutes of the game . Mary Collins, goal keeper, had an outstanding game and kept the shots on goal to a minimum. Fullbacks, Beth Swan and Fran Congileo, played a very aggressive and defensive game while protecting the goal. Front liners Kyle Caulfield, Donna Montanari, Regina Law and Diana Mekel kept Rosemont's
goalie, Theresa Brindley, busy in their attempts to score. With their spirits lifted Cabrini faced a very aggressive Montgomery County . Mary Gehman, Linda Thomas and Debbie Hassinger were leading scorers for Montco . Cabrini played a good game, however, Montco's aggressiveness and experience pulled them to a victory of 7--0. Vicky McFadden stated "We have to work at being a team. We need to talk to each other and keep to our positions instead of crowding in one spot." Peggy Heffernan commented "We definitely made a lot of mistakes but considering Montco's experience we put up a good fight. Our next step is to be more aggressive." For being so inexperienced Cabrini is playing in a very competitive league this year . According to Mimi Greenwood, coach, the women's field hockey team is doing just fine. "I've seen a lot of excellent plays along with the mistakes in our first two games.
However, learning comes with the mistakes. I'm very pleased and impressed with the girls' potential and improvement,', said Greenwood. Greenwood also stated that the loss of defensive player Fran Congileo hampered the team while the front line lacked the punch to score . Kyle Caulfield stated "We might have lost our first two games but we didn't lose our determination." The 1980 field hockey team is: Kyle Caulfield, Mary Collins, Diane Carallo, Elaine Esgro, Kim Hammond, Peggy Heffernan, Theresa Karminski, Regina Law, Jackie McAllister ·, Vickey McFadden , Cathy McGinty, Diana Mekel, Sandy Moffat, Donna Montanari, Susan Provost, Beth Swan and Theresa Collins, manager .

setting a new season BY DEBBY O'CONNOR
When asked about the potential of this year's Women's Volleyball Team, Coach, Goodwin states. "O'llr team is full of great potential. W~'re looking forward to a winning season." The playing strategy is a bit different this year since the team's Senior setter , Carol Ramos, has graduated . A setter is the player who sets up the ball for another team member to spike it. "We have two new setters now, not just one," remarks Goodwin, " Mary Jane Wallace and Kathy Cordilla . This allows for blocking in the front line. " Returning members of the team are : Captain Mary Jane Wallace,
Kitsy Humes, Eileen Slattery, Kathy Cordilla , Maurene Burns and Vickey Puccio. New teammates are: Terry Linebach, Sue Masino and Evetta Bordon. "There isn't one specific girl who is outstanding," quotes Goodwin , "the girls work as a whole team ." The schedule and game times are printed on the Cabrini calendar for any and all interested in cheering the team on to victory . "This season is going to involve a lot of hard work,' , says Goodwin. Some of their toughest opponents are LaSalle , Drexel, and Villanova. " Now ," Goodwin 'declares, " all we need is good fan support ." -~

Cabrini wins on breakaway BYnMLAWLOR
Women's volleyball
·•.•
The Cabrini soccer team evened its record at 3 and 3 with a 4 to 3 victory over Academy of New Church at Cabrini on Saturday, Sept. 27. Marked by hot tempers on a cool day, this hard fought and emotional game went right down to the . wire, with Tom DeMatteis' winning goal coming with less than two minutes remaining in the game . New Church struck first , with Donald Rose beating Cabrini goal keeper Steve Brown at the twenty mjnute mark of the first half. Cabrini picked up the tempo
after · that, and at 24:00 Dan Ross took a perfect pass from John Yheaulen and scored the tying goal. Two minutes later Cabrini scored again when Saiful Bhuiyan hit Walter Ackah who gave the Cavaliers a 2 to 1 lead which they took to halftime. Academy of New Church wasted no time in the half. Left fullback Don Heiworth evened the score at two with a goal at 4:20. Then Don Rose scored his second goal of the game for New Church, giving them a 3 to 2 lead. Cabrini co-captain Jeff Brun tied it at 32:50 with a penalty kick
from thirty yards that snuck in the upper left-hand corner of the goal , just beyond the outstretched arms of the New Church goalkeeper . It seemed as if the game would end in the 3 to 3 deadlock, but with a minute and a half remaining to play , Tom DeMatteis ran from the pack with a breakaway and scored the game winner. Neither team could be disap·pointed in its players, all of whom gave ·one hundred per cent .
