Byron highlights family theme BY FLORE CE . IA Willian\.. J . 'Byron, S.J. , Ph .D. was e guest speaker at Cabr ini's Convocation held on March 11th at 1:00 p.m. He is from Pittsburgh, Pa . and attended Saint Joseph 's College in Philadelphia, Woodstock College for his Masters in Theology, and the University of Maryland for his Ph.D . The topic of Byron 's address to the college community was "Liberal Arts and the Commitments of a Lifetime ." " The main reason that colleges and universities are falling down on their job is that they are not educat ing the young on the responsibilities of married lif.eand having a family ," Byron said. Byron feels more can be done in the classroom, the church and extracurricular activities to further educate the young about marriage and family life . " Problems of poor communications in marriage have reached epidemic proportions in the United States and colleges should be doing a better job to find the ground of good interpersonal communications," said Byron. Byron said a young couple • contemplating getting married ,should adjust their living expenses to one salary, so that when a child is born, the .mother can withdraw from the job market without experiencing discontent. He closed his discussion by say-
ing , " My concern is with the preparation of persons, as persons for the marriage situation ." Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, president of the college, spoke about · the different crises in the world and said , "Cabr ini College is doing its part for the cause of American freedom by educating young people in the ideals of our nation.,, She expressed appreciation to the students in Europe involved in Project Outreach and also thanked the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart.

Club budgets
•
set for •
spring
Student activities play an important part of college careers and many are funded by a percentage of the general fees included in tuition . It is the responsibility of the Student Government Association to budget this money to the various clubs and organizations on campus. To be allotted a budget, the club must be approved by S.G.A. Approval is earned by presenting an explanation of the purpose, officers and their duties, meetings, membership and elections, and a moderator to S.G.A. At the beginning of each fall semester, all clubs are subject to a review by the S.G.A. Budget Committee. This review requires all club presiden'ts to account for expenditures for the two previous semesters . Failure to satisfy an accounting of expenditures when reviewed may cause a club to fail to be reconsidered for S.G.A. bujigeting. The budget committee reports to the entire S.G.A. body at a regular meeting . The body then decides whether or not ~ budget will be allocated the following terms. In order to receive their budgeted money, clubs must submit check request forms and a receipt to the S.G.A. treasurer . " This year , S.G.A. is budgeting $2,382 to t he var ious c lub s," Maur ene Burns, S.G.A. Tr easurer sai d. " We try to give each club as

There are twenty clubs receiving budgets from S.G.A. this year . Each club is open to any member of the student body and generally opens any of its activities to any student. Clubs attempt to sponsor a number of activities each semester. These activities may range from talent shows to lectures and career seminars, and from foreign films to flower sales. "As the activities of a club increases, so does its money . The largest amount budgeted this year is $350for the Living Arts Society . Living Arts has sponsored a lot of activities this semester," Burns said. "The Athletic Association has received the second largest amount, $200," Burns added . Although the sizes of clubs may vary greatly, there is a general attempt by all clubs to encourage the whole student body to take part in the various activities. "Budgets for this year , on a per club basis, are smaller than in the past. We hope that this will encourage more of the clubs to become active raising funds for their activities ," Burns added. " S.G.A. is willing to help any club along, no matt er how lar ge or small , providing it meets the necessar y criteria of S.G.A.," Burn s said.
Phi Alpha Theta recipients were Kelli Armstrong, Al Iannucci, Ron Katkocin, Salvatore Barabuscio. Initiated into the Society of Collegiate Journalists were Connie Aiello, Diana McSeeeny, Kathy Daly, and Detsy Lynch . Students were inducted into Cabrini College's Honor Society by Dr. Gavigan .

Athletes from ages 12and up will participate in basketball games on Saturday, March 28 and compete in Run, Dribble and Shoot Competitions on March 29, according to a program .of the event. The opening of the ceremonies on March 29th will begin with an Olympic torch run, according to Kathy Mignogna, ceremonies chairperson . "The kids light it and run. We'll probabl y begin down at the houses or Woodcrest, and have three or four runne rs going to the soccer field."
A performance is scheduled by the Radnor High School Marching Band. The opening ceremonies also include the raising of the flags and the releasing of balloons if the weather permits.
