JudicialBoard protectsstudents'rights by Sandy Barone According to the Cabrini College Student Handbook, 1983-1984, the purpose of the Judicial Board is to structure ajudicial review system for alleged conduct violations. The judicial system allows the allegedly charged, protection and obligations under the college's judicial process. There are four committees which include, Residency Conduct Committee (R.C.C.), Non-Resident Conduct Committee (N.R.C.C.), Student Government Association Judicial Board, and the College Judicial Review Board (C.J.R.B.), the highest review board for students conduct cases. Each committee allows the following rights to the student: The R.C.C. allows a resident student to a hearing of charges before the R.C.C. Five members were elected to this committee. They include sophomore Denis Bourgeau, juniors Jeanne Boyle, Tom Schultz, Nikki Shuler, and senior Eileen Houston The N.R.C.C. acts under the same guidelines and procedures as the R.C.C. Five members were also elected to this committee. They include juniors Michael Duska, Doris Hickman, and Richard Jones and seniors Denise Clarke, Patricia Richardson.

Under the Student Government Association Judicial Board, a student convicted of a conduct violation by the R.C.C. or N.R.C.C. may appeal the decision to the S.G.A. Judicial Board. This year's elected memebers are Senior Representative, Patty Abbot, Junior Representative, Mike Garrison, Sophomore Representative, Cathy O'Brien, and the Freshman Represen ta ti ve, Alina Fidalgo. Robin Larkins, SGA president, appointed one officer to this committee Jean Findlay, SGA treasurer. Larkins said, "SGA feels extremely positive about the responsibilities given when elections were run

for 路the various conduct committees. This shows that the students are interested in the policies of the school and more importantly in the implementation ." She went on to say, "Through this appeal process provided and the student's involvement in the execution of the laws of the college, we feel that the students and their rights are represented in the best way. We encourage all students to use these committees when they are needed." ----------------

Finally, the C.J.R.B., which serves as the highest review board for student conduct cases, allows a student found guilty of a violation before the S.G.A. Judicial Board, to submit an appeal, in writing, to the Chairperson of the C.J.R.B. Faculty members, who are also assigned to these committees, have not yet been appointed.

According to Gus Nicoletti, director of resident life, "The system is based on Anglosaxon law and it's to protect the rights of the accused. It is a due process system." Nicoletti also stated, "It is not to our advantage. It should be to the students advantage for due process. I think it's a good due process for students, It's protecting their rights. I think that is very important.". According to Larkins, no cases have been brought to appeal as of the completion of this story.

INSIDE SGA Section In the SGA special section, topics such as plans for next semester, Christmas on campus, and club news are covered. Controlled drinking possibilities are discussed in the SGA commentary . The SGA section may be found on pages 8 and 9.

Video Surge Over? The video game room at Cabrini is widely used by the campus. According to a New York Times article, however , the surge of the once high-flying world of video games is apparently over. The story may be found on page 13.

PERSPECTIVES

editorials Beerdistributorscan influence campuses A Blue Ribbon truck pulls up outside a Cabrini College dormitory. A student walks out of the dormitory and signs for the delivery. The distributor hands him a Blue Ribbon bar clock, three posters, and half a dozen T-shirts before he unloads the beer. A fraternity at the University of Pennsylvania makes a bargain with a beer company to receive several free kegs of beer if they use a certain brand for one of their parties. The fraternity house is donned with beer posters, free wall hangings, and a brand name tap. Down the street a local beer company is sponsoring· a campus beer chugging contest. The beer is sold without questioning the legality of the action . In our society there is nothing terribly unusual in this scene. It is a well known fact that college students drink. Breweries are in business to sell beer. Free gifts are added as elememts of doing good business. Beer companies, obviously, sell beer to college students to make a profit, or do they? Onlookers say to themselves that the beer companies actions are all for the sake of profit. It's the American way. Sell the product to the consumer who will buy. Now let's take a closer look. It is a fact that breweries are spending millions for promotion on college campuses nationwide. It ia also a fact that they are not in it for the money. According to Washington Post columist, Colman McCarthy, "The hard economics behind this merry free-flowing scene tells the story of the beer industries fierce campaign to capture not only the youth alcohol market, but also to create early brand loyalty that may last a drinking lifetime." One Miller official stated to the Washington Post, "We lose money in college marketing. We're into short-run losses and hopefully long-run gains." Breweries work to associate their brand with good times. Beer is introduced as a vital element in college life. Companies make themselves visible as friends of the campus community. According to a former fraternity social chairman at Penn, "They have the campus covered pretty well. They sponsor Greek Weekend and Spring Fling.

Almost all of the publications on sporting events are sponsored, at least in part , by the beer companies. They donate money if you drink their beer. They don't make the donation unless you help them out." A former fraternity president from Penn , stated, "They have campus representatives who will come around and try to get you to use their beer. They're trying to expose you to their product in hopes that you'll stay with it. " McCarthy writes in the Washington Post, "Beer Companies like Coors, Miller and Anheuser-Busch have college marketing programs. Miller employs student representatives on some 550 campuses. The aim is to get as many student activities as possible centered around the beer can or the beer keg." "On any given Friday or Saturday there will be two or three fraternity parties on campus," according to the former social chairman at Penn. "Three hundred to seven hundred people walk through a party throughout the night. It's comparable to a bar, exept their only selling one kind of beer. It's an easy way to reach a lot of people without a lot of selling time." College students are bombarded with beer drinking propaganda. Even beyond the promotion of beer on campuses, magazines published for college students such as "On Campus", a supplement to "Newsweek", are packed with colorful beer advertisements. Beer companies are ignoring the simple fact that threefourths of of all undergraduate programs are make up of underaged drinkers. According to the social chairman from Penn, "It doesn't matter to them who is drinking it." He stated that he was never ask for proof of his age in purchasing beer for parties. Beer companies are thwarting a nationwide effort to bring under control the growing problem of alcohol abuse which causes more than 100,000 deaths and costs $120 billion a year. "Without controls on the college market, laws that raise the drinking age or punish drunk drivers are offering solutions only after many of the problems have been created," McCarthy writes. A Coors official states that his company is taking a stand against alcoholism, yet all of these companies, as they bombard college campuses, are in the business of creating drinkers.

op1n1on Hugging deservesa littleattention I

gerard lennon

I£

As I was walking into Counsel Hall, I noticed a friend of mine waiting in the lobby, looking a little distressed. Before I could begin to formulate a question in my mind as to her well being, she stated flatly, "I need a need a hug" . Never at a loss for obliging a friend, especially one as pretty as she, I hugged her. It made me think how important hugging could be, in times of stress as well as in times ofjoy. As a matter off act, I felt it so important that it deserves a little attention. Well, if I'm going to talk about hugging, I guess I should start at the beginning and explain the need for touch . Of the five senses that we possess, the tactile sense, or the sense of touch, is by far the most powerful. It stands to reason, then, that the deprivation of the sense can do the most harm to a person . For example, Dr . Bernie Zillergeld explains in his book, "Male Sexuality", that the "tactile sense is the first to develop: an embryo is sensitive to touch long before it can see and hear, long before it even has eyes and ears. Touching is essential for healthy development. Babies

who have not received sufficient tactile stimulation-hugging-cuddling-kissing-do not develop normally and many do not grow at all; the mortality rate for babies deprieved of touching is extremely high . In the months after birth, touching can literally mean the difference between life and death ." So, it is an estabilished fact that touching is a nessicity to human development. Unfortunately, as a child becomes older, the amount of time spent holding and cuddling the child decreases rapidly. In our society today, people who touch or hug others (barring relatives) are considered, at least-wierd, at the mosthomosexuals. This is especially true of males in our society. Why? Well, there are a number of reasons. First of all, hugging contradicts the projected social concept of being masculine; that is, always being in control, never showing emotion, keeping up the tough guy image, etc. Because hugging is considered to be effeminate, males tend to shy away from it, without ever really understanding why.

The reality of the situation, however, is that being intimate with someone, or hugging or touching them, is a form of communication in and of itself. So far, I have mentioned some of the concepts associated with hugging and their social implications. I would now like to mention some of the good things about hugging. First of all, it feels great, and the person being hugged also feels terrific. Secondly, it is a wordless form of communication that can transmit sincere feelings of warmth and trust. Finally, when a person hugs another, they are extending an invitation for that person to explore and to communicate the feelings of love and friendship that they have for that person. Perhaps in the future when people, especially males, start feeling more secure about themselves and less frightened about expressing their feelings, and feel less controled by the conceptions that society imposes upon them, hugging somebody won't be unique at all, but a completely fulfilling experience and an expression of love.

PERSPECTIVES

letters Dormarticle praisedand opposed: Dormcouncil reponds Dear editor, We at Counsel Hall wish to clarify several points in relation to the front page story "Frosh harassment Occurs In Dorm" from the Nov. 11 issue of Loquitur. We, the men of Counsel , do not wish the reputation as a whole be smudged by the act of a few. The idea of harassment is not sanctioned in the dorm and this distaste of a non-sactioned incident, brought to a head by the article, will prevent an act like this from happening again . We are sorry . This is a exempl;uy period for Counsel Hall . For the first time in many years the dorm is unified . Everyone gets along . The enthusiasm for dorm functions is incredible . 80 percent of the men worked on the float for Homecoming . The Freshmen have integrated into an already existing dorm structure to create a family a brotherhood . Counsel Hall is a good place this year. We make mistakes like everyone but the overall unity an positiveness of Counsel is putting the dorm on to a path of success . We hope that the article and companion editorial will not destroy what is being slowly built in Counsel. Don't let the cruelty of a few hold back the rest of the men of Counsel. Counsel Hall Dorm Council

Don'tjudge bya few To the editor, I am writing in response to the recent article "Frosh Harassment Occurs In Dorm". I agree that the incident was extremely unfortunate and disgusting, but that does not in anyway reflect the character of the dorm . We are .campus leaders. In Counsel, there is the Mother Ursula Award, SGA officers, club officers, class presidents, Honor Roll students and dedicated atheletes. If one would take the time to look, we are an active dorm. I think it is wrong to judge an entire dorm by a few. Brian Rottkamp, Resident Assistant , Counsel Hall

Who needs counseling? Dear Editor, This is in response to the article appearing in the Nov. 11 edition of the Loquitur dealing with the harassment in the dorm. First of all, I must credit the Loquitur for dealing with the controversial topic in such a professional manner. It was a job well done. Speaking as a resident of Counsel Hall, I hope I can look forward to never again reading about an incident like this occuring again in Counsel. I was appalled to learn that very little was done to the perpetrators of this heinous act, at least according to certain students. I also thought that the editorial on the same subject raised some very interesting questions , such as where was the residency staff when all of this occured. Obviousily some students were awakened by all the noise as the article mentions that there were witnesses . It just seems strange to me . that these students were awakened, yet nobody from the residency staff was aroused to stop this act. A quote in the hl"ticle states "The counseling center was notified and the student was given the option of seeing a psychologist". What abou t the students that performed this act? Were they recommended to the counseling center? It would seem that they have more problems than the victim . Gerard Lennon , Counsel Hall Resident

viewpoint Dialogueon Luther bringsunderstanding The name Martin Luther brings to mind images of a religious rebel, a man who was responsible for igniting the fire of the Reformation. In commemoration of the 500th anniversary of his birth on November 10th, Martin Luther is receiving enlightening press coverage in publications like "The New York Times'.' and "Newsweek" .

barbara bruhin Reading some of the articles on Martin Luther proved to me just how predjudiced my information was about him. I had always heard about Luther in terms pertaining to a rebel against the Catholic Church . Recent articles refer to him as a reformer who was very much in favor of the Catholic Church . While talking to Dr. Margaret Reher , professor of Religion , she confirmed that my original impressions of Luther were not unusual. "Luther was always looked at as a rebel," she said. "Now people look at him as a reformer, and that is obviously a very different kind of image ." It has been nearly 500 hundred years since the splitting of the churches and it seems that only in the most recent decades are men really looking closely at the messages of Luther. Pope John Paul recently called for "accurate historical work" and a "dialogue of faith" in order to understand Luther and attain Christian unity. "Luther never wanted to start a new church ," according to Professor Heiko Oberman of West Germany , Europe's foremost Reformation scholar , "He was not a Protestant , but a Catholic who opposed the papacy. "

Great potential in Counsel Dear editor, From the point I knew this article was to be written, I realized that it would do more harm than good. As a new member of the residency staff, I have tried to incite in the residents of Counsel a spirit of pride that I heard was lacking in the past. I feel that what this newspaper has done is stunted the growth of the pride we've been building. The morale is at an all time low since I have come to Counsel and any further condemnation will only make my job more difficult. I see great potential in the men of Counsel that I have seen in no other college or university. Please don't ruin our momentum. Francine Calafati, ·Resident Manager, Counsel Hall

Dissapointed and appalled Editor: As ·a group of concerned students who live together in one of the residences on campus, we felt compelled to write this letter in response to the freshman harassment story and editorial appearing in the Nov. 11 issue of the Loquitur. When we read the story , we realized the importance of it but could not understand why it was the lead story on the front page when the actual incident happened over five weeks ago. Also the headline of the story appeared to be very misleading in that the verbiage used makes it sound like this type of situation happens all of the time at Cabrini College . Fortunately, this situation is, indeed, isolated. Nevertheless, once is far too many times for this sort of desecration -of human dignity to occur here or anywhere else. Drunkeness is far from a rationalization for this type of behavior. The thing that appalled us the most as living companions in a residence, is the overall apathy of the residents of Counsel Hall. lt..seeiruLi_qcredibly hard to believe that

The famed 95 theses against indulgences for which Luther was excommunicated because he refused to recant are not as significant as most believe. "What he was doing was not unusual," said Reher. "He was simply presenting a position that he wanted to debate. People look at this as a flagrant act ofrebellion. In truth, Luther had no intention ofleaving the Catholic Church." "People reassessing the contributions that Luther made to the church is very significant," Reher continued. "How tremendously the climate has changed, particularly smce Vatican II." According to "Newsweek," "Many of the early reforms he championed - a vernacular liturgy , congregational singing, lay reception of the Eucharistic wine as well as bread and a ministry of the laity alongside clergy - were finally accepted by Rome at Vatican Council II, albeit nearly five centuries later ." Similarly, Rehe!"points out justification by faith, a cardinal point of Luther's which Catholic and Luthern scholars have just recently reached agreement on. "The Lutheran - Catholic commission has been working for years now on a joint statement ," Reher said. "Today Lutherans and Catqolics are discovering that in Luther , 'the obedient rebel ,' they can share a common ancestor," according to "Newsweek ." ''The liturgies ofboth churches are now almost indistinguishable. " Pope John Paul II concluded that research has shown Luther's "profound piety," according to a "Catholic Standard and Times" article. He further concludes that the break in church unity "is not reduced to" misunderstanding Luther by the Catholic authorities or misunderstanding ofCatholocism by Luther, "even if both had their role." "Newsweek" states that the reformation would have occurred even without Martin Luther. The root causes were more cultural and political than religious . It gives me a warm feeling to think that churches , torn apart because of a lack of understanding , and political and cultural turmoil , are finall y working hard at an ecumenical understanding of faith .

of all the residents and so-called witnesses who claimed to hear the noise of what was going on, that NOT ONE made any move or effort to stop it . What is even more inexcuseable is that when the whole situation was brought to light, that not one stood up and condemned it or even spoke out against it. Lack of action taken against the perpetrators of this barbarous act lies in the hands and consciouses of every single resident of Counsel Hall who chose the easy · way out - not to become involved, and not •to speak out . It seems almost ironic that anyone from Counsel could have the guts to even comment on the situation knowing that ineffectiveness in dealing with the situation stems largely from themselves. Any lack of effectiveness lies in the hands of those who chose not to be respensible, and justified it by passing the buck to someone else. Everyone has an inherent, moral responsibility for the upkeep of human rightsrights that were clearly violated in this case. Even ifno one could identify specific people, the men of Counsel could have united together and stood up against the whole issue in order to prevent it from happening again. The fact is they didn't. No one did. It's a damn shame. Someone once said, either you stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything. Obviously the men of Counsel, by their own doing, fell for anything that nightand worse of all, allowed nothing to be done about it. Hopefully something like this will never happen again. Signed, Disappointed and appalled members of a concerned residence on campus.

As an upperclassman, this year's edition of the men of Counsel has the most character that might have ever been through this building. I would recommend that the school's paper cover the energy that steams from Counsel, as it can be seen throughout the Cabrini community, and not only emphasize the negative factors. name withheld at the request of the writer

"Anice place to live" Dear editor , The article in the Loquitur about hazing issue was something that should not have been printed. The article totally tore Counsel apart. Some of the things mentioned in the article did not even happen during this incident. The article also points out how upper- · classmen try to influence the freshmen by setting standards to show how they are in control. Being a freshman, none of this has happened to me. The upperclassmen here in Counsel have given me alot of help and have become my friends. I am sure the people who wrote the article have never seen the good that comes out of Counsel, year after year Counsel has a tremendous Christmas dinner that the faculty attends. Why don't you print that in the paper? In the future, please don't bring up old news to destroy the reputation of a place in which it is a very nice to live. John Monachello

Miele ignites a dousedflame To the editor, The ip.cident dealing with harassment had brought a grey cloud over Counsel Hall. After the incident had finally blown over the Loquitur ignited a doused flame. The parties involved are sorry for their actions and the article just brought up a dead issue.

Correction In the 11/11/83issue of the Loquitur a photograph of Mr. Anthony Tomasco, chairperson of the psychology department, was labled with the name Dr. Thomas Tomasco. We apologize for this mistake.

SGA Budget committeeallocates clubs' funding by Judy Buck Club budgets were issued on Oct . 7, 1983. The maxium amount any club or organization received was $200 with the minimum amount being $50 . The mean was approxiamently $115. The budget committee, which consists of the vice presidents from each class , and the social activities chairperson , met at the end of September to discuss budget requests . The guidelines for this distribution of funds for the clubs budgets were listed in the Oct. 28, 1983 issue of the Loquitur by Jean Findlay, SGA treasurer . The first one was if the club has less than 10 members they can receive a maximum of $125, Second,if this club did not participate in the organization fair in the beginning of September, their requested budget will be cut by 35 percent before the budget is evaluated. Third, if the club actively used all of their money they were alloted last year for the improvement of the club and/or school. And finally, if the activities that were listed and the corresponding cost match up . "As far as budgets for next semester are concerned ", Findlay said , "they will be influenced by how active or inactive each ind ividual club is ."

According to Findla y, each class raises their own money . Although , the freshman class receives a starter fund in January after their officers are elected. While the total requested budgets equaled $4550.28 the tot al final budgets issued on Oct. 1, 1983 were $2465. TanyaBolcar,presidentofCampusMinistry , explained that the money SGA alloted them is used for various activities . One thing the money is used for are the retreats the whole campus may take advantage of. Campus ministry also had a halloween party for the Don Guanella Home for Boys with the council of exceptional children . Bolcar said, "Many of the fun activities for our members are seeing the proceeds go to a charitable organization ." Cindy Schulmeyer , president of the council for exceptional children (C.E.C.), explained where their clubs money was being spent. "At the welcome back party in September $30 was spent , $15 went towards the van that took C.E.C. students to Philadelph ia to at t end a statewide C.E.C . convention. Approxiamently $20 was used for the showing of the film "If You Could See What I Hear ". The rest of the money we were alloted will go towards the St. Mary 's Christmas party on Dec. 6."

SAM sponsorssecondart show SAM organizesart show and stays in the black by Shelagh McGinn The Society for Advanced Management, SAM, sponsored the Second Annual "Expressions Art Exhibit," Friday, Nov. 11 through Sunday, Nov.13 in the lobby and dining room of the mansion. The purpose of the art show is to set up a scholarship fund for a junior business administration major. The scholarship recipient will have to be academically outstanding and possess good leadership skills. The production of the show, under the direction of Jackie Jenei, chairperson of the art show and Maria Nickels, cochairperson began last June. Over 200 artists were contacted and asked to submit biographies to a selection committee . The committee selected, through personal contact and the biographical reports, 46 artists to participate in the show.

"It was a very good learning experience because we learned how we're going to have to handle ourselves in the business world," Nickels said. The committee used last year's show as a basis for this year's exhibit . A major flaw in the first show was in its marketing . This year, a liason was formed between the students of SAM and the business offices of the college.

'We had to take the practical knowledge from the textbooks and apply it to the business world.' -Jackie Jenei, chairperson of the art show

'Express .ions Art Exhibit'leaves its artistswith good impressions by Virginia Smith The atmosphere was one of elegance: carefully framed canvases displaying pastel daisies, tempestuous waves, and sultry summer scenes hung gracefully on a backdrop ofmahoghany wood panels. A bronze statue stood poised on a marble pedestal at the foot of the grand staircase. In an adjoining room, a long table was set with gourmet cheeses, hors d'oeuvre, and heated appetizers centered around a floral centerpiece . The air was filled not only with delicious scents,

'The experience taught me how to handle sales. I learned to not pressure the customers, but rather to let them make the first move." - Pat McPhelim, freshman salesperson It was the club 's strategy to get diversified groups involved. "SAM is not just a business club ; it's open to all majors. We pride ourselves on having the largest club membership on campus ," President of SAM Bert Siwak commented. ''The art show forum provided a huge project which could be broken down into smaller components similar to a corporation ," senior Lou Klock added . In this way , a wide variety of students were given practical exposure to a real life business function , a type of mini-internship. ''It 's also an excellent opportunity to establish business contacts," Klock said. "The experience taught me how to handle sales ," salesperson Pat McPhelim, a freshman business major said. "I learned to not pressure the customers, but rather to let them make the first move." Senior Maria Nickels, co-chairperson of the event agreed that the art show was an educational experience . "I discovered so much about the importance of good public relations : how to sell to the artists and public the positive image of the school, how to sell a positive image of yourself ." Conversations with guests revealed that they felt the exhibit was an overall success. Besides the lavish praise extolled over the mansion's setting and the society's work to make it all possible , quips of " if only I had more money to buy those gorgeous paintings" were heard from the public . The artists themselves , regardless of whether their painting sold or not , also had kind words for the event .

The exhibit was organized by the students of SAM with the aid of Howard Buzzard as faculty advisor . Preview Night was held Friday, Nov. 11. Over 150 people attended, with the artists present to discuss their works with the public. Champagne and hors d'oeuvres were served by members of SAM. Tickets for the preview were $25 a couple and $15 per person. According to Jody Pizzigoni, director of Preview Night , the evening proved to be a good indication of the outcome of the rest of the weekend. The most expensive painting , 'Welcoming Autumn' by Ed Rafferty, sold for $1,100in the first half hour of the show. "The night went so well that people were already talking about next year's show," Pizzigoni said .

'This show was a 100 percent improvement over last year's, because we were able to use last year's as an example and work from it,' -Mike Fenza, director of finance for the art show

SAM officers headed committees ranging from set-up to sales, delegating work for more efficiency. Members who joined the forces as salespersons and waitresses on the eve of the event were also amazed at the caliber of work their fellow members had accomplished. Laura Sullivan, freshman, who worked on sales "couldn't believe they could do something so sophisticated, so fancy." She was also excited about the challenge which selling paintings presented to her: "I was afraid of messing something up because I didn't have experience . But they just told us to make ouselves available, not bothersome. This very low pressure sales approach made the job .more comfortable , and I actually sold an $800 painting!"

"We asked the public relations officeto give us some ideas on how to market our service better," Jenei said. The advertising of the show was expanded. Large signs were posted at all entrances of the college, public service announcements were sent to local radio stations, and posters were hung in neighboring towns. Also, brochures and other information were left to be posted in local art galleries.

The show continued Saturday and Sunday with free admission to the general public. By Sunday afternoon, two bronze pieces by John R. Chalk of Pottstown, PA as well as various paintings and prints had been sold. The art show, according to all involved was a success . As of Sunday afternoon, SAM was financially in the black . 'We've broken even, with the possibility of having made a small profit, " Jenei said.

but also with pleasing sounds-soft, contemporary tunes from a baby grand piano . Throughout the scene walked black and white suited women serving trays of bubbling champagne to the guests. Skirted young women and gentlemen in ties, wearing nametags and carrying receipt books, added a professional touch to the art show scene. While the above description could possibly have been from a 1930's style movie or a country club function, it was, in reality, inspired by an event held on this college campus, the SAM sponsored "Expressions Art Exhibit". Surprised? So were most of the 150 plus guests, artists and faculty members who attended the preview night of the exhibit Friday, Nov. 11. Even more surprising is that the whole affair was handled, from planning to operational stages, by the students themselves. "I had assumed that the show was being set up by the students," contributing artist Ed Rafferty said,"but I presumed that the chairpersons were teachers. I was pleasantly surprised to find that although Jackie (Jenei, chairperson of the art show) was only a student, she had handled the job so professionally."

'We were lucky to have our works displayed in a place as lovely as the mansion.' -William Bell, artist "We were lucky to have our works displayed in a place as lovely as the mansion," Artist William Bell said whose painting was sold the second day of the three day affair . ''The atmosphere enhanced the paintings . I was also very impressed by the overall artistic abilities of the area participants. I've never been to a show with such a variety of mediums, techniques and subject matters." Artist Ed Rafferty felt that the way in which the works were displayed added to the attraction of his paintings. ''The works were hung well, the lighting was perfect. I couldn't have been more pleased." When the art exhibit closed 6 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13, chairpersons Jenei and Nickels sighed, sorry to see it over "so soon." "It was so exciting, almost like a wedding," Jenei added, grinning from ear to ear. In the end, SAM had met its goals, not only in a financial sense, but publicity-wise as well. 'We've established ourselves as a reputable art show," commented Siwak, "but it's only a base for future shows. Each year it will grow, become a greater learning experience." "What we've really set out to do is establish a name for Cabrini College and SAM throughout the community. And we've succeeded."

SPECTRUM Hawleywins MotherUrsulaaward

Take time.to relax by Robin Larkins "Everybody needs a little time away .." These words sung by pop group "Chicago" summarize in one line the fact that relaxation is an essential element to the physical and mental 路well being of every individual. An all work, no play philosophy not only makes a person dull but could cause serious health and stress problems leading to overall physical and mental burnout. Once the burnout stage has dominated, a person could not concentrate on work even if he or she wanted to. Therefore, along with the homework, studying, student teaching, practicing for sports, working at the caf or in the mall, and even staying awake all night to make Loquitur deadlines, it is a necessity that a person take a little private time out to catch up with things, which at times seem to go by so fast that you can't seem to catch up. A feature article in the November issue of "Glamour" magazine entitled . "Private Time" talks about the need to take a break during the course of the day's activities. 'We all work in bursts. And when our concentration or energy fades we have to recharge with a distraction ... Find something that reminds you that you are an individual, not just a worker,"' said the article . 路 According to a large number of people interviewed on campus, the need to relax and unwind most frequently falls right after a test . According to Maureen McKenna,junior, "Right after a major test I can't wait to go back to my room, grab a beer out ofmy fridge, turn on the radio, put my feet up and relax for the rest of the week." The majority of the responses obtained pointed to an assumption that when most people interviewed wanted to relax, they usually did so by listening to music . Watching television was second, drinking and sleeping were third in our attempts to discover what people at Cabrini College preferred to do when they took the time out to rest and relax. Len (Bert) Siwak, junior, has an elaborate relaxation method which he strictly abides by. To Siwak, relaxation is: ''Turning on bugs bunny and enjoying a few beers ... Watching any sports events and enjoying a few beers ... Putting on my sweatsuit and jogging shoes, going outside, warm up to jog, decide against it and go in and enjoy a few beers ... I like to chew tobacco also. Just a pinch between the cheek and gum is all you need," according to Siwak. Siwak also informed us of a new hobby he's turned to in order to relax. Inspired by the artshow, Siwak has taken up paint by numbers and is well on his way to complet. ing his first painting, which he hopes will be displayed in the SAM artshow next fall . We wish him luck. The point of all of these factual, serious, and not so serious accounts of how people choose to relax and unwind is that we all need to take the time out to be by ourselves, if only for a little while. It is important to keep this in mind as the pressures of exams and papers with due dates approach as well as the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparation. Before everything starts to come down upon us, we should all decide to set aside a little private time each day so that we don't miss the beauty of the changing season, the companionship of friends, the picturesque surroundings of our 110 wooded acres, a phone call to mom, the birthday of a friend, Laura being reunited with Luke on General Hospital, decorating the dorm for Christmas, and all the other experiences which are here today but may not be around forever once we graduate. As Mac Davis sings, "You've got to stop and smell the roses. You've got to count your many blessings everyday."

by Robin Larkins The ability to give and not expect anything in return is a virtue, agreed upon by many, to be possessed by a special member of the senior class, who has been singled out from among many to be specially remembered from the class of 1984. According to a vote of the senior class, the spirit and ideals of Cabrini College have found their fulfillment through Mike Hawley, graduating senior and elected recipient of the 1984 Mother Ursula Award. Each year at the annual AlumniSenior Dinner in November , a distinguished member of the senior class is elected by their peers to be honored as the recipient of this award named after Mother Ursula Infante, MSC, founding president of Cabrini College. According to the award discription, Hawley is the one person of the senior class who, "in the opinion of his or her classmates , has best fulfilled the ideals of the College through academic achievement, partic i patio n in extra-curricular activities, and leadership and service to fellow classmates and to Cabrini College." Formal presentation of the award will occur at commencement in May . Along with recognition at graduation, Hawley will receive a $100 cash award and his name engraved on a plaque in the Alumni Affairs Office containing all the names of Mother Ursula Award recipient s dating back to the initiation of the award in 1968. Martha Dale, director of alumni affairs, said, "Mike was a very popular choice. Many people have gone out of their way to tell me how they thought the choice was fitting and good. It really makes an award special when it is voted on soley by a group of peers selecting from among themselves ." Dane Linn, 1983 graduate and recipient of last year's Mother Ursula Award, applauded the senior class in their choice of Hawley as this year's award recipient . He said, "I can't think of anyone more giving or more deserving. Mike is the type of person who's always there- usually behind the scenes- to get a job done. I'm glad he finally got the recognition he deserved." During the course of his four years at Cabrini, Hawley has been active

?? ASK AWAY??

What if we still don't get along? QUESTION: What do I do if I still don't get along with my roommate(s)?

by Jeanne Proko And now, back to that age-old , seemingly impossible, continuing saga of: My roomate (s) is (are) driving me crazy . I agree, a lot of talk and advice has been given on this topic . Yet, there are still problems for crazed underclassmen and even upperclassmen. It seems no one can be removed from this situation . And commuters, I'm sure you are affected in a way, also. How can you possibly not commiserate with resident friends. If you happen to live at home with your brother or sister, you realize the frustrations. Except the fact that it's worse for a commuter because they can 't throw their brother or sister out the window when they're fed up. Mom wouldn't like that. So, what do you do with a frustrated roomie when he/she is your best friend, but you still can't live with them? Basically, you have to make the best of the situation. You're going to have to work at it. Most importantly, as Barbara Harris, a counselor at the Counseling Center, feels, "You don't have to room with someone for four years. Nor does this person have to be your best friend." Remember, you need someone with whom you can live with compatibly.

Make sure that you give each other some space. Even the best of roommates realize that you cannot spend every moment of the day and night together. Make sure there are times when each of you can have the room to yourself. It's good and healthy to be alone sometimes. One important point to remember is this: Don't be a martyr. If you can't live with someone , after giving it time, patience and consideration, take the time to calmly talk about how to settle it once and for all. For heaven's sake, don't continue to live with the person because you feel sorry for them, or you don't know how to tell them or whatever. By being a martyr, you actually do more harm than good. You'll still be unhappy, then angry and disagreeable and not extremely pleasant to live with. One more point-try not to tell the whole house/dorm about your problems. Chances are, the word will come back, possibly even worse than what you actually said, and your roommate will be hurt and angry that they are being talked about. No one likes to be criticized . If you need to talk about the situation to get it out of your system, talk to your resident assistant, or Gus Nicoletti, director of resident life. Another idea is to talk to the people at the Counseling Center. They can look at the situation objectively. At this stage in the game, it may be a good idea. The basic idea that you should look for is

a stress in_t[Oodcommunication. It is not uncommon for both (or all) roommates to come to the center to talk. If you approach it together, you can solve, one way or another. Harris said, "I don't believe there is anything that cannot be solved." Four steps that can possibly alleviate the problem situation are known as the DESC Rules (obtained from the Counseling Center). The group sits down with paper and pen and writes lines following these guidelines: . Describe lines-one grievance, not a long list, that is specific. Express lines-use "I" messages to express feelings and thoughts . Specify lines-ask for one reasonable, observable change, seeking agreement. Negotiate! Consequence lines-stress positive, rewarding consequences. Harris points out that you shouldn't attack personalities. This only creates defensiveness and arguements. Harris also said, "You should approach 1 th~ situation positively: We're going to solve this problem. This way, each wins." According to ''The Resident Assistant", by Gregory Blimling and LawrenceJ. Millengerger, this positive approach can actually create a feeling of respect and turn individuals into a group. And that, my friends, is the answer. It's not an easy task, but it's well worth the effort.

'The Light' at Cabrini unifies campus Christmas by Mike Tamburro This year Christmas at Cabrini is going to be different. The 'celebration of the light' it is called. Though it centers around the activities of the first four days of December , Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities, would like the idea of celebration to "include the other Christmas events also." These include the St. Mary's Christmas Party, the Yule Log Ceremony, and the Christmas Dance . If these are included, the celebration on campus will be twelve days long compared to the four days spent last year. This is important DiRaddo says, because as Christians this is an important celebration for us . Also, it is important for those of us who practice the Jewish faith. It is the point of the first day of celebration to include and combine the Jewish and Christian students in this whole affair. This is important because, according to Tanya Bolcar, "to understand our faith we need a knowledge of how Christ lived as a Jew." DiRaddo adds that, "many of our traditions and symbolisms stem from and are similar to Jewish practices." The Dec. 2 events are aimed at unifying the campus in this celebration. According to Gene Boyle, "last year Christmas occurred more individually within each dorm." It is in the hopes that students will remain on campus the first weekend of December (having just gone home for Thanksgiving), that the next two days occur on Saturday and Sunday. December 3 includes a trip to downtown Philadelphia to see the many beautiful decorations of this city during the holiday season . It also carries the theme of 'Christmas around the world'. The theme will hopefully help us to realize that we share this celebration with an even larger family (as Christians and Jews) across the entire earth.

Sunday involves the Tree Lighting Ceremony. According to DiRaddo, "this is a religious affair of significant symbolism." What is significant about the day is that the surrounding community of y.rayne ~as been included , to show us our belongmg to still another family during this Christmas season. All in all these festivities should provide an excellent kickoff to the part of the season which we wi_ll spend here at Cabrini. Perhaps we can all brmg a part of this spirit back home to our own families.

SGA exec board plansnext semester by Ann Belsky The events scheduled for each semester are not haphazardly placed on the calendar and the sponsors are not chosen by process of elimination. The planning for each semester's calendar is the result of a process involving all clubs and organizations on campus. On Saturday , Nov. 19, a workshop directed by Colleen DiRaddo was held in the Widener Center Lecture Hall between noon and 1:30 p.m. Its purpose was to plan for the spring 1984 calendar of events . DiRaddo went through the spring calendar day by day and the representative from each club and organization was free to suggest their event or sponsorship of a predesigned event,

such as the Valentine's Dance . Besides the planning of an accurate calendar for next semester, the workshop also guarantees the clubs that their event is definitely on the schedule . Now they have a specific goal to work for. If there was any overlappmg of events or more than one organization wanted to sponsor a single event , a compromise was made according to priorities of the individual club and the purpose of the event . Sometimes events were co-sponsored, for example, the Valentine's Dance by the Sophomore Class and the Commuter Club .

"I feel that the workshop was an excellent forum in which to call everyone together to effectively plan an accurate calendar

for next semester ," Robin Larkins, SGA president , said. ''This will aid SGA clubs and class officers to plan ahead for each event next semester so there is no confusion at the last minute," she added . "It will also aid in holding sponsoring organizations accountable to holding an activity which they have scheduled." One of the most important effects of the workshop was that many new and innovative ideas were discussed and group feedback was provided to help club representatives who were confused about how to effectively execute and activity , according to Larkins . Jeanne Boyle, CEC representative at the workshop felt it was "effective and gave a quick glance at what is going to happen next semester ."

We the Junior and Senior class would like to thank these people for their help and support with

After extensive discussion and planning, the SGA Executive Board is pleased to announce the occurrence of the "First Annual Christmas Snow Ball," which is scheduled to take place Friday, December 9, 1983 right here on the Cabrini College campus. Dinner will be served between 7:00p.m . and 9:00p.m. in the cafeteria with the dance beginning immediately following at 9:00 p.m. in the gym and running until 2:00 a.m. Cash bar set ups will be available to those 21 years of age and older between 9:00p.m. and 1:30a.m. The complete music and entertain:rnent system will be provided by "Silver Sound of Philadelphia". Not only will they play everything we want to hear , but they will also provide a comprehensive light show to accompany their musical sounds. Be on the look out for audio and video presentations of exactly what is in store for us come December 9th from "Silver Sound ". (The DJs that worked for Parents Weekend in Octob_er.) The atmosphere of the Christmas season will be captured in every aspect of the course of the evening's events - with a few added extras to really bring that Christmas spirit home . Among these, the photography club will be on hand to capture the moments on film of the evening. For a small fee they will capture a typical winter scene with you and/or your group of friends as the subject material. Gifts and doorprizes will also hallmark the evening when an early visit is made to Cabrini by the master of gift giving himself, Santa Claus.

Commentary

As our extension of Christmas cheer and giving to the entire campus community, the SGA Executive Board invites all faculty and administration to attend the dance free of charge. Ticket prices for students have also been kept to the lowest dollar amounts possible to encourage maximum participation in this once a year celebration of Christmas at Cabrini. The cost of the dinner /dance is only $5.00. The cost of the dance alone is $3.00. We, The SGA Executive Board, hope to provide an atmosphere conducive to campus - wide support and unity under the true spirit of family, coming together and goodwill which always encompasses the best of everyone during the Christmas season . The First Annual Christmas Snow Ball has further implications to Cabrini College than just the joining together of the entire campus community. For it is through this event that SGA is initiating control guidelines for the consumption of alcohol at any college sponsored event. We hope to establish firm guidelines and a successful control so that at future college events we can provide those upperclassman who can drink, the right to do so, with their friends of age and not of age present . We petition all members of the Cabrini College community to respect the actions of the Executive Board and support us in our attempt to set a precedent for the college in the allowing of alcoholic beverages to be served once again at campus-wide activities. The following is a set of guidelines drawn up by the SGA Executive Board for the sole purpose of providing a controlled drinking atmosphere to be allowed at college sponsored events . These guidelines have been submitted to and have been approved by the proper administrative authorities.

NOV. ta SGA:

Disruptionoccurs at Movies As a member of the Student Government Association and as a concerned student, I find it neccessary to address a very unpleasant matter that was brought to my attention in a most uninvited way. I was one of the many unfortunate people who chose to attend the SGA sponsored showing of "Stripes" at the newly organized Movie Night. The feature was shown as just one of many SGA sponsored events which exemplifiy SGA's attempt to bring decent activities to the student body. I say I · was unfortunate in attending this particular event because all of us in the audience were subjected to a constant barrage of inappropriate language and shouting by a few of our male residents who had obviously been drinking.

Eveh polite requeststo quiet them were ignorantly respondedto. e SGA Executive Board·and Sr. 1<:ilt!c11 Cuni1•, MSC,Prcsidcnt of'Cahrini IIP~.((' discuss µlc1nis and policies-of the "Fir:;t Annual Christmas Snow ll," scheduled take place on Dec. 9.

1. Two off-duty patrolmen will be hired to enforce the alcohol code of the school; and provide a check system for proper identification upon entrance to the event. 2. One officer will be canvassing the dance to ensure the enforcement of the Cabrini College Alcohol Policy. 3. Upon entrance to the event, students with proper ID (2 forms, one must have a picture) will be issued an ID bracelot permitting them to engage in the legal purchasing and consumption of alcoholic beverages. A list of Cabrini students fulfilling the age requirement will be provided for a further check system. 4. Bartenders for the event will be instructed to serve only those parties with proper ID wristbands. Bartenders selling and serving alcoholic beverages must be bonded, have a licese and be insured according to the guidelines of the Liquor Control Board. 5. No one displaying outward signs of drunkedness will be admitted to the dance. 6. The event sponsored will be open to Cabrini students and their invited guests only. Cabrini students are to take full responsibility for the limit of two invited guests accompanying them. 7. Each person, upon entrance to the event will be issued a number. Name and corresponding numbers will be recorded. Numbers will be written on person's hand and used for ID and reentry purposes. 8. If the need arises for disciplinary action, the following measures will be taken: a) positive identification of the violator will be made and confirmed . b) names of Cabrini students violating policy will be submitted to the Dean of Students Office and appropriate action in accordance with the college's alcohol policy will be taken on the next school day. (See Cabrini College Handbook regarding alcohol policy). c) NonCabrini students caught in violation of Cabrini College Alcohol Policy, will be expelled from the dance as well as their Cabrini escort . Cabrini students will be responsible for their guests as stated in Handbook. We, the Student Government Association petition the students of Cabrini College to aid us in the execution of our policies to permit responsible drinking at campus events such as the Christmas dance. We invite any and all input into the handling of this situation for the Christmas Dance and for events to come.

They call themselves the "men" of Counsel and the "men" of Sullivan, but after this incident I question how appropriate such a title is for the students involved . Even though I was seated in the second row, the movie was almost entirely inaudible because of the unruley, boisterous conduct of these students. Not only was I surprised by their unmanly behavior, as a member of the Cabrini community, I was also embarrassed because the audience was not limmitted to Cabrini students alone.

8GA sponsors these events for the campus community in an effort to provide entertainment in a relaxing, close knit atmosphere . This atmosphere was completely shattered by those few students who chose to ruin the evening for everyone. Perhaps an occassional outburst would have been tolerated by the patient audience, but their vulgarities ran the entire length of the movie. Even polite requests to quiet them were ignorantly responded to. This kind of behavior is completely uncalled for at a college level. As an SGA member and as an individual of the audience who was extremely distracted, I feel obligated to comment on this situation and hope such immaturity will not be exemplified again at a college function. Action has already been taken as a result of this matter: Movies will no longer be shown on weekends. It is a great shame that the actions of a few effect so many. Sincerely, Karen Labenz

The Student Government Association supports Karen Labenz in presenting the above opinion as she is a member of our organization. We are very empathetic with the above commentary and regret that the audience at one of our events was distracted by a few individuals. We thank Karen for presenting this article to the Cabrini Community and hope such letters are not neccessary in the future.

Chessclub at CabriniCollege? by Mike Tamburro Sure! This moment heralds the birth of Cabrini College's newest student organization the Cabrini Chess Club (CCC for short). The club already boasts a list of 23 members and draws about 10 to 12 members per meeting. Also, the club has two moderators in the gracious volunteers of Mr. Kuhns and Mr. Latavic. Both men have previous college chess experience. The club hopes to foster a higher appreciation for the noble game. As as attention-get-

ter, a simultaneous exhibition may be held in which one or two players challenge several other players at once. A tournament will also be held. This will be open to the entire campus and surrounding communities as well. When possible, the CCC hopes to compete with surrounding schools in dual meets, too. Anyone not already involved is encouraged to attend the meetings, held every Thursday at 1:00 PM in the Widener Center conference room. Anyone interested can learn the game -

by Gia DiGiminiani . Although it is past closing time at the Wi~wam, Cabrini's snackbar, student manager John Ziegler remains to clean up and check the stock for the next ~a_y. Ziegler is characteri~ed by a st~ong se;11seo~responsibility in his work, studies, and friendships alike.

ence. My main concern about working in the Wigwam 1s accomodating my customers." Ziegler is a junior at Cabrini, and he is a medical technology major . Ziegler is also a CARe tutor in biology, an associate member of Beta Beta Beta, a science honor society , and he has participated in intramural sports . He is currently deciding between attending Nazareth Hospital or the Medical College of Pennsylvania during his senior year. Career wise, Ziegler is contemplating entering the fields of research, pharmaseutical sales, or possibly entering medical school. Ziegler said, "I'm just after something that I'll enjoy. With these three avenues open, I'm assured that my career will be interesting and diversified ." Mrs. Anna Kruse, chairperson of the biology department said, "John is a warm and outgoing person. Academically, he is very career oriented and a fine student. He works hard both on and off campus to finance most of his own education. John should be very successful in reaching his goals." Ziegler's girlfriend of more than two years, junior Debbie Kidon said, "One thing I liked about John when I first met him our freshman year was that John knew what he wanted out of life. He sets certain goals for himself and he is very motivated . He usually reaches his goals . John is also a good friend. He values friendship very highly, and he would do anything for the people he cares for." For those who are wondering about the mysterious , late night monster who prowled around the campus in October , that was Ziegler in one of his less seriou s moments . Ziegler said , "You have to keep a sense of humor . Next semester, I'll probably do a couple more crazy things ."

Donna Gerhard, the Wigwam's supervisor, commented, "As a student manager, John is hardworking, dependable and conscientious. I have complete confidence that when I come to work each day that the Wigwam has been left in good order by John from the night before." Ziegler describes his duties as student manager as basically making sure that everything runs smoothly in the evening. The job entails rectifying service errors with the students, keeping account of stock, taking orders, cleaning the facilities, and overseeing general operations during the night hours. . Although this is his first year working -in the Wigwam, Ziegler recieved the position from his many experiences in the management field, such as being the night manager in the gas station that he works in during the summer months . "I like to work," commented Ziegler. "I've had jobs ever since I got my paper route when I was thirteen . Although I had no experience in the food service business, I applied my previous experiences to working in the Wigwam . I feel that each job experience is enriching and that it will carry over to the next experi-

by Susan Baj The campus ministry of Cabrini College, is an often overlooked and underestimated organization which deserves recognit ion. The campus ministry serves man y vast helpful purposes. Tanya Bolcar , sen ior, president of the campus ministry, reveals its ma in purpose as "trying to tie toge ther the spiritual side of the student in relation to their activities on and off campus ." According to Sr. Bernadette Casciano, MSC, campus minister, "We hold a basic belief that ministry is an expression of God with us, in us and through us . We seek to live that kind oflife and invite others to do the same." The campus ministry tries to help the students express their religion, whatever their religion may be. It is not just a ministry for Catholics . It is a ministry for the entire Christian community on campus. The campus ministry involves many people . The two moderators are Sr. Bernadette Casciano,MSC , campus minister , and Rev . Mark Falcone, 0 . Praem, chaplain . Bolcar has been president of the campus ministry for the last two years , and actively involved as a member for the last four years. Rose Battiato , senior , is vicepresident ; Karen Sharpe, senior, is trea surer ; and Barbara Colantuono , sophomore, is treasurer. There are about 75 students actively involved in the campus ministry , as of the present . As this profile continues, let us look at the specific involvement of campus minis-

try in various aspects on and off campus. First of all, there is the "Celebration of the Lights." This tries to tie the Jewish religious tradition together with the Catholic religious tradition, according to Bolcar. This celebration is scheduled to take place on Dec.l. It is intended to be a campus-wide celebration of religious traditions. Since most ofus celebrate the actual event of Christmas at home, the celebration , campus ministry hopes, will enable students to share that same event of Christmas here with friends, who have become very much like our own families.

Other activit ies campus ministry has scheduled to take place in the same general time period include "Christmas Around the World," a display type event to feature aspects of what Christmas is like all over the world . The "Yule Log" celebration is scheduled for Dec.12. This is an on-going Cabrini tradition. Campus ministry aims to bring the campus together as a community The nearest scheduled event to take place is "World Fast Day," on Nov.17. Students and teachers are asked to sign -up to fast, meaning refraining from their lunch meal for that day. The savings will then be counted and donated to a worthy organization.

'People concerned about people is what Campus Ministry is all about.' Tanya Bolcar, CMA pi·esident. Bolcar revealed that many people are needed to work on various committees in order to help the previously mentioned activities take place and be successful. "If you would like to be involved, please sign up because we need lots of help ," Bolcar said. If you are interested , please contact the campus ministry office. Campus ministry is an organization at Cabrini that does many things for people and asks for nothing in return . "People concerned about people," is what campus ministry is all about, Bolcar said. The organization looks for the individual , and tries to show people the importance of the little things in life, which we often tend to overlook. Everything people do in campus ministry is done on a voluntary basis, according to Bolcar. The work does not benefit any major, or give any external recognition to its members However, the recognition seems internal, and extremely worthwhile . In campus ministry, the moderators and officers really work together. Bolcar said, "There is very good communication between all sides." ''The moderators really support us, and back us up whenever we need them,"she continued. People don't really seem to see the campus ministry as an active organization . However, it has undergone many changes in the last four years, in-both on and off campus activities. These activities are not just "religious activities."

Defendyourselfagainstpossibleattacks by Barbara Mongelli The alarming statistics regarding the rise in the number of bodily assaults, especially among women, are proof of the need for an awareness of prevention and defense against such attacks. The most common notion about defense is that it means physically protecting yourself. This is often achieved through the use of a lethal weapon, mace, or self-defense tactics. According to Mary Fitzpatrick, a representative of the Delaware County chapter of Women Against Rape (WAR), these tactics may be helpful sometimes but they do have their disadvantages. For example, a weapon can be used against you if the assailant manages to get it from you. This is not often a difficult accomplishment since the attacker may be physically stronger than you are, and your terror may not enable you to resist his attempts. Defense tactics such as karate and judo must be used immediately, before the assailant overpowers you. This is often difficult since it takes a while to be able to become aware of what is happening and thus react. Fitzpatrick said that the best defense tactic is to "use your head. Be aware of your surroundings. Don't have your head in the clouds when you're walking through the parking lot of the shopping mall." This doesn't mean that it can always avert an attack, but many times just being aware can help to avert the situation.

This horrifying fact can sometimes be disregarded because it sounds so unbelievable. In fact, assaults by acquaintances are more "typical" than the violent assaults by strangers, which most people assume to be the "typical" attack. This common misconception can be detrimental to the victim since it makes them appear to have provoked the attack. People cannot conceive that a person they know would attack them. , WAR, as well as other victim assistance coalitions have provided tips in order to help in preventing assaults. If you are in a car, make sure that the car is in a good running condition. For example, keep your gas tank full, and your tires in good shape. Check inside your car for intruder before you get in it. Have your keys ready at all times. Always lock your car doors. If you are being followed drive to a police station. Don't pick up hitchhikers.

It is a common occurence for the assailant to be someone that the victim know.

Fitzpatrick said that if you are at a party, or on a date, and you feel uncomfortable, do not hesitate to leave. Do not wait until your suspicions are confirmed. There is no reason to feel silly for thinking that something may be wrong because if you are feeling uncomfortable, there is probably something to feel uncomfortable about. This brings up an important point, especially among people in the college age group, who date and socialize more often. It is a common occurence for the assailant to be someone that the victim knows.

When at home, don't open your door to strangers; request identification. Don't enter your house if you suspect that someone is there. If you live alone, put only your first initial and last name on the mailbox and in the phone book. Be wary of casual acquaintances when alone in your home. When out on the street, don't hitchhike . Act confident and alert when walking; someone frail and helpless is more susceptible to an attack. Avoid dark isolated areas, especially parking lots. If you are followed, run to the nearest lighted house or building. If attacked, use your common sense on whether or not to fight back. On dates, don't pretend to be weak and act helpless. Let the date know that you can handle yourself. Arrange a double date if it is a first date. Let someone know where you are going, which you should know ahead of time anyway. If you go to a party and there are no other females present, leave immediately. Alcohol and drugs put you at a definite disadvantage by putting the situation out of your control Alcohol and drug use could also make your date dangerous, and out of control. Pay attention to your feelings or suspicions, and be alert at all times .

The best defense tactic is to 'use your head. Be aware of your surroundings.' -Mary Fitzpatrick, representative of Women Against Rape

by Lisa D'Ascenzo The student activities board is working diligently to improve the quality and amount of activities planned for this year and the future. "All non-academic time is considered student activity time," according to Colleen DiRaddo, student activities director. "This includes programming by any department, club, organization or administration, as well as by my office." Since this is DiRaddo's first year as student activities director, her goals are to learn the ropes of student activities at Cabrini and to figure out what it takes to plan them well. "We can't hope to improve the activities unless we learn what is and what is not effective and why," DiRaddo said. Lou Klock, social activities chairperson for the Student Government Association said, "We have a lot of activities planned for this year. We're going for quality , not quantity. We're trying to plan activities in which the students really want to participate."

'We can't hope to improve the activities unless we learn what is and what is not effective and why.' -Colleen DiRaddo, student activities director Klock is also resident assistant at Cabrini East. Since Cabrini East is located off campus, it can be difficult to get the residents there involved in campus activities, although the student activities board is trying to do so. "We had our last Evening at Cabrini at Cabrini East on Oct. 30," Klock said. "It worked out very well. It gave Cabrini East some exposure." One exciting event coming up is the Celebration of Lights scheduled for the first weekend in December. "It's our kick-off celebration for Christmas," DiRaddo said. "I have had very good student participation in helping to plan this event." When asked if student activities had improved since last year, DiRaddo said, "It's difficult to note any improvement just six weeks into the semester. We now have the video cassette recorder and the wide-

screen television. We show sports on Saturday afternoons on the television , and are planning other uses for the VCR. Intramural football was attempted but it didn't work out, partly because several other collegiate teams were not permitted to participate in intramural sports. "We will eventually have to develop a group to plan intramural sports," Di Raddo said. "These people will probably come from outside the college, which means it will have to be budgeted."

'We're going for quality, not quantity.' -Lou Klock, social activities chairperson of

SGA "We're trying to organize outdoor hockey for men, as well as an aerobics class in the evenings," DiRaddo said. Lisa Bellano, freshman, has already instructed one aerobics class on Nov. 2 in the gym. "She is willing to do more classes if students will participate," DiRaddo said. DiRaddo is working with the SGA social activities committee as well as with classes so they can learn to plan their own activities and get class participation. DiRaddo is also studying reasearch about student activities. The research she has done so far has told her that students will go for excitement over liquor. "When there is no excitement, students will go for liquor," DiRaddo said. "We need to educate students to get them to stay here on weekends," DiRaddo said. "We have a commuting resident population because we have no residency boundary. You can live five miles away from campus and still be a resident." This presents a problem because many students go home on weekends to find excitement. "For all intensive purposes, we are competing with 18 years of activities and pull from home," DiRaddo said. "It creates a different dimension and attitude but it has a direct affect on stu- Âˇ dent activities." DiRaddo feels that most activities are planned on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights because so many people go home on weekends. "Instead of accomodationg commuter residents, we must try to plan more weekend activities," DiRaddo said.

by Lisa D'Ascenzo A student activities workshop is planned for the weekend of Nov. 19. It is intended to more effectively coordinate activities for the 1984 Spring semester. Clubs, organizations and department heads will submit calendars to Colleen DiRaddo, student activities director. Each calendar will have their different planned activities. The schedules will be reviewed carefully, looking for conflicts and duplications . "For example, if we have ten dances scheduled, some will have to go," DiRaddo said. "We have to go over what activities will and will not be successful."

The workshop will help students plan activities that are of good quality so that people will want to attend them. _"The stud_en~,isn'tal~ays at fau~t if an activity that has been planned does not go well," J?1Raddosaid. Sometimes there 1s a lack of public relations, advertising and information . The student makes plans based on lack of information." One of the_goals of the workshop will be to educate every organization involved on how to use the video cassette recorder and the wide-screen t.v. , and also how to fill out the necessary forms in order to use it.

'We are trying to get the skeleton of the spring semester activities in shape.' -Colleen DiRaddo, student activities director "We are trying to get the skeleton of the spring semester activities schedule in shape," DiRaddo said. "Anyone can fill up a calendar to make it look good, but we need back-up. For example, if an organization tells me that the Metropolitan Opera Company is coming to Cabrini, they have to show me a contract from the company, the public relations information and an agenda of what will make the activity successful before we can put anything on the calendar. This is absolutely necessary in planning activities." "Before, if we had an obvious lack of participation for an event on Saturday, it was cancelled on Tuesday without anyone knowing about it," DiRaddo said.

'The student isn't_always at fault if an activity that has been planned does not go well. Sometimes there is a lack of public relations, advertising, and information.' -Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities _Theworkshop will help students plan activities that are of good quality so that people will want to attend them . This will help avoid last-minute cancellations of activities. Going over each planned activity carefully will help make all of Cabrini's activities a success.

Homecomputersstiflingvideo game boom by Susa~ Baj What 1s this place people run to during their breaks between classes? Why do these same people search desperately for quarters and experience great anxiety when the doll~r c?,ange machine bluntly reads, "temporarily out of ,service?· . . . . . The place 1s the Cabnm game r?o~, located m the Widener Center. The people are Cabnm students and faculty, alias video addicts. The game room seems to be widely appreciated by all who love video games. The profits would appear to be evident from these video games, especially the more popular Ms. Pac Man, Jungle Hunt, and Dig Dug, three of the largest attention-getters and quarter consumers at Ca_brini. However, a view of the video game surge nationally seems to present a much different picture . According to reporter N.R. Kleinfield, from an article in the New York Times, (Oct. 17,1983) the surge of the once high-flying world of video games is apparently over . Kleinfield said, "Dozens of the game makers that rushed into the field last year have dropped by the wayside, their visions of high profits proving to be as imaginary as the fantasy worlds pictured on the game screens." The drop of the video game industry seems due to the increase in the buying of the home computer. The home computer, industry observers reveal, can "figure a family's budget as well as transport the player into outer space."

According to Klemm,!d, the result has been a real jolt to an industry that barely existed five years ago and one year ago seemed on an unstopped roll. On the average video game manufacturers ate expected to lose hundreds' of millions of dollars on consoles and ' year, accor d'mg tom· dustry ana 1ysts .

"The bloom is off the rose," said Steve Hochman, president of the Crown Vending Corporation, a New York-based operator of game machines. "Most of the operators are off 30 to 40 percent in revenues, which translates to no profit, or a loss. Too man v machines are chasing too few quarters ."

The game roomseemsto be widely appreciatedby thosewho lovevideo games. Between 1980 and 1982 arcade parlors doubled to 10 000 according to Kleinfield .

The dropof the videogame industry seemsdue to the increasein the buying of the homecomputer. The national crash of the video game industry appears to have come fast . However, Roger Sharpe, editor of Video Games Magazine, said ,"I think it's a mistake to say the game market is dead and the computer market lives. " He continued , "I don't see a large falling off of players who are into games. I see a falling off of the transient audience who got into them as a cult thing ." The video game : is it a product that has simply run its course, or is it simply in a transition period? Nationally, the picture seems a little clouded and uncertain . However, our local picture of the video game still appears to be bright and

enjoyable.

JFK's imageremainsalivetwentyyears later by Bonnie Zischang Twenty years ago, on a brisk November day in 1963, the man who presided over a change of political generations in America was shot to death on a glaring Friday afternoon in Dallas . Since then, John F. Kennedy etched his image indelibly into the minds of millions in this country .

The majority of us, who were mostly infants and toddlers when Kennedy was assassinated, were too young to know or understand how this man sparked the world with such passion. After his death, when the world finally got over the shock, the myths began. Twenty years later, our images of Kennedy are challenged by the revelation of previously concealed issues on Kennedy and his administration. "Kennedy was an idealist. He was a man who used his charisma to his advantage," said Nikki Shuler. Shuler also went on to

say, "Many of us were too young to know Kennedy but now we are old enough to see the lives that he has affected."

'Kennedywas an idealist. He was a man who used hischarismato his advantage.' -Nikki Shuler Recently the television stations have provided a total of 72 hours worth of programs on Kennedy, the man, and the president, his private and his public life. Magazines such as Time, have also provided articles on the subject, and countless books have been written. Although his presidency was shortened to less than three years by an assassin's

bullet, he undoubtedly was forced to deal with dramatic occurences while in office. The Bay of Pigs invasion, civil rights violence, a confrontation with the Soviet Union over Berlin and the Cuban missile crisis were incidents that the young and inexperienced president had to learn from trial and error . Stacy Schroepfer, senior, believes "that Kennedy's presidency affects our lives today because a lot of Kennedy's proposed legislation while in office was pushed through Congress by Lyndon Johnson (his successor)." Schroepfer commented, "Kennedy contributed a lot to the space race through the creation of the NASA Space Program." Many question Kennedy's presidency as belonging more to the history of publicity rather than to political leadership. Many believe that it was his youth, charisma and idealism that made Kennedy gre_at. "Just because Kennedy was dynamic and good-looking, people were drawn to those qualities. That doesn't necessarily make him a good president," said Gail DeAnnuntias, sophomore. "Actually, Lyndon Johnson should get the credit because he pushed through the Civil Rights Act and had done more than Kennedy envisioned," DeAnnuntis said.

Many questionKennedy's presidencyas belonging moreto the historyof publicityratherthan to politicalleadership.

When Kennedy took office, he entered with extraordinary energy and high hopes . To America, he seemed like the perfect president although history will remember not what he did but who he was. Debbie Peacock, sophomore, said, "It is considered unAmerican not to like Kennedy. As small kids, we learned he was our hero." When asked what she thought of Kennedy from a historical and political viewpoint, Peacock stated, "It's too early to evaluate Kennedy . His presidency cannot be fully analyzed in so short a time. Who knows, we may need another twenty years."

To America,he seemedlike the perfectpresident althoughhistorywill remembernotwhat he did butwho he was. According to Dr. Jolyon Girard, history chairperson, "Historians have evaluated Kennedy with a favorable idea immediately following his death . Ten years later, Kennedy was more critically re-evaluated and people realized that he was full ofrhetoric and no actions. Recent interpretations of Kennedy are neither supportive or critical. There is an understanding of Kennedy's limitations as they are more fully recognized," Girard said. Karen Ricca, sophomore, didn't think Kennedy was a good president. "He was an excellent politician and people backed him but he was a terrible president." Ricca continued, "His charisma and popularity got him the world spotlight. If a person has that kind of power he can use it to his advantage."

Theaterworkshopinvolves Genesis'newestalbum: childrenandistudents Electrifiesand captivates by Doris Hickman Did you know that Cabrini students run a theater workshop for exceptional persons? They do, and according to the programs director , Cindi Schulmeyer, the program is a success for both the participants and the student s. 路 The theater workshop allows exceptional persons to participate in all the activities that ar~ part of the theater . These activities include working with puppets, instruments and mime. The purpose of this program is to help the exceptional person to express themselves in a better way. Schulmeyer said, "Every week we do something different to get them to express themselves."

The purpose of this program is to help the exceptionalperson to express themself in a better way. According to Schulmeyer, exceptional students are either one extreme or the other. They are either loud or quiet. Schulmeyer said, "Through this workshop we are trying to get them to achieve some kind of middle ground. " The program was started in 1982 by Grace Amadeo, a special education teac_her a~d Cabrini graduate. Amadeo ran the program the first year and Schulmeyer contmues it . Schulmeyer is currently looking for a replacement since this is her senior year. Schulmeyer said , "I need someone who is willing to take on the responsibility ." The workshop is held every Monday evening and is one semester long . There is no fee to the exceptional students. At present there are 30 exceptional students involved in the workshop . They come from area schools and the community .

As far as the special education students involved are concerned,this program is doing as much for them路as it is doing for the exceptionalpersons in the workshop.路 There are ten to twelve special education majors currently working on the program. "However ," says Schulmeyer , "We are trying to get more people involved in the program." She feels that with additional help Cabrini students could be on a rotating schedule . This way different people would be going every week . More students could participate in what the students involved think is a very meaningful experience . "It's a good release for Cabrini students, " said Schulmeyer . Cabrini students seem to agree. Lori Cavalieri, a junior said, "We all laugh together and we have a good time . It is especially good for them because they are getting a chance to interract with different kinds of people ." . Karen Lucente , another junior said, "We feel like we are a part of what they are domg . We are having just as much fun as they are. " . . . As far as the special education students involved are concerned, this program is domg ~s much for them as it is doing for the exceptional persons in the workshop.

By Judy Buck . Genesis ' new albumn , entitled "Genesis ", is a brilliant and electrifying achievement by the group . Most of the songs on the aJbumn have the potential to become top ten hits . The songs "Mama," "Illegal Alien ," ''Taking it All to Hard," "Just a Job to Do," and "It 's Gonna Get Better", have already received an ample amount of air play , on many radio stations coast to coast. Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford , and Tony Banks , never cease to amaze the public . With Collins performing most of the vocals on the albumn, one is reminded of Genesis ' older days as well as Collins more recent solo efforts . Together , the thre-e musicians make the acoustics and lyrics on the albumn not only alluring and captivating, but throughly entertaining to the ordinary rock listener, not just the typical Genesis fan .

Sportsprogram growing The soccer, cross country, field hockey , volleyball and tennis seasons are all finished now and the men's and women's basketball seasons are under way. If other members of the senior class are thinking the way that I am right now, they are thinking that it's hard to believe that our four years are almost over. However, we have been fortunate enough to be students here at Cabrini when the athletic program has experienced its largest growth period. Even if you are not much for sports this growth of our athletic program has benefited you . Remember when people would ask you, where is Cabrini College? Well, now more people know about our school, and one reason for this can be traced to the athletic program.

Tarbotton's roommate, sophomore Leslie Kraska commented, "Michelle is a friend as well as a roommate . We've had many good times together."

"As far as academics are concerned , sports have always been my incentive to get good grades so I would be eligibl e to play ," Tarbotton said . "Although college is a bit different, I feel my school work does get a bit neglected just because of the heavy workload and the hours I spend with sports . But I do my best ," she said. Tarbotton also chose Cabrini because her cousin and best friend, junior , Patty Hinke attends the school. Tarbotton and Hinke had always wanted to attend the same schools. "I've played sports with Michelle since seventh grade," Hinke said. "She is a very dedicated athlete as well as a good athlete . Her love is basketball," she said.

by Shelagh McGinn On Thurs., Nov. 17, 1983, the philosophy club sponsored a sports symposium featuring a panel of guest speakers from the college faculty . The panel consisted of Dr . Kathleen Daly, professor of social sciences, Dr . Jolyon Girard, chairperson of the history department, and Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy and vice-president of academic affairs .

Daly discussed sports not as a part-time participant but rather she explored sports through a spatial amd temporal dimension. She stated that sports must be looked at in a manner relevant to other aspects of life.

People have heard of Cabrini because the volleyball team now participates in tournaments out of state. People have heard of Cabrini because the men's basketball team has dominated their conference over the past three years. People have heard of Cabrini because the soccer team now contends for the district playoffs each year. Since the class of '84 entered Cabrini, each sport has been upgraded. The soccer team now has a new coach and plays a much more competitive schedule. The men's basketball team has jumped up to a tougher conference to compete against tougher competition. A new coach has been hired for the cross country team in an attempt to get the program off the ground.

'Gamesof physicalskillare foundin societiesthat emphasizesuccess.' -Dr. Katt.lleenDaly, professor,socialsciences

Each team in the women's program has also grown considerably. the volleyball te has hired a new coach and have begun playing in tournaments against tougher competi tion. The hockey team was not even in existence before our class entered Cabrini. Th tennis team has also just recently been formed. During our time here the women' basketball team has hired a new coaching staff and upgraded its schedule considerably Finally, there is the women's softball team. Just last year they won their first conferenc title ever. This is not bad progress over a period of four years, wouldn't you agree?

"Games of physical skill are found in societies that emphasize success," Daly said. Daly explained this statement by discussing how the growth in leisure has warranted the growth in organized sports activities.

•

Girard presented the point of view of former participant and coach of sports. He stressed that the immediate gratification concept is an important aspect of athletics.

'Athleticsgive peoplea chanceof expression.' -Dr. JosephRomano, prof_essorJ philosophy "In sports, you are able to perceive something well done immediately," Girard said. ''There is and instant articulation of genius."

Girard based this last statement using examples of financial reward and the fulfillment of the ego. Girard agreed with Daly that sports do not build character but rather sports are a reflection of character. Romano completed the panel with a pattern of meaning for the definition of sports. He stated that there is no universal definition of sports, just a general understanding. He used six aspects of sports to further define the subject. These included excellence, success, self-awareness, challenge, self-expression, and altered states experienced through total involvement in an athletic event. "Athletics give people a chance of expression," Romano added.

~I!?l! le: Coac!).~f~It~~m;. !~~I~gIia The head coach of Cabrini's women's basketball and softball teams is Mike Tenaglio. He is noted by all his players as someone who cares about his team members as individuals. Sophomore Michelle Tarbotton, a member of both the basketball and softball teams said, "He has a good rapport with his players. He is moving the programs in the right direction." Junior Eileen Herbig, also a member of both teams said, "As a person, he is very caring of his players. Each player receives individual attention." This is Tenaglio's fourth year at Cabrini.

John McQueen he 1983 edition of the Cabrini Men's Basketball team have a great challenge ahead of them in the upcoming season. With the team's admittance to the E.P.A.C., and the playing of new opponents such as Shepherd College, Radford University, and Mount St. Mary, a division II power in N.C.A.A., this Cabrini basketball team will face it's toughest season. Both players and coaches are very optimistic in their view of how this season will turn out, and most of them see no reason why this season shall be any different from the past three winning seasons. "This season will be tough," sophomore Gary Smith said,"but we have the personnel to be the best team in this school's history." For those who think that being the best team in Cabrini's history is nothing great last years record was 22-6. Even fans that have watched the team in the past feel very positive about this year's squad and the end result that will take form Monday Nov. 14 at Valley Forge Christian College in the season opener.

Sophomore , Mark Viggiano, feels that Cabrini has a good basketball team for a school of its size ."Our team is really good for being this small, and we have a lot of talent on this years team ," Viggiano said. The talent that Viggiano speaks ofis the ·combination of returning players and the addition of the new recruits. The mixture of talent, hustle, and youth will be the key to having a winning season . The new recruits are freshman, Anthony Dade, Tim Powell, Brian Galvin, Karl Sartor , Mike Joshua , Jeff Kardos, Allen Jones , and Junior John Walden. The returning players are senior,Vinnie Mirabella, juniors, Martin Clancy, John McQueen, and Tom McGowan, sophomores, Gary Smith and Pat Nolan. This is the team that has to live up to that expected status of "best team ever ." John Dzik , head coach of the basketball team, has a different view of how good he thinks this team can be. "I think we have the potential to be a nationally rank team at the N .A.I.A. level,"said Dzik "but I think we're going to have to pull together and work hard to do so."
