work, "my current work has evolved through continuous stages , working with collage materials: papers, polymers , glues, plastics, watercolor, dyes andink washes . I find the method an excellent means of selfexpression for myself in that I love abstraction, but sometimes find it eluding me because of such a strong background in realism. My technique seems to take me quite naturally into abstraction .

Through a selection process of images , color and texture, I am able to make current stataments about specific subjects . For instance , I feel religious art has so much of its foundations in the distant past Joseph Romano , vice-president for that it doesn't really have relevant mean- acedemic affairs , said , "the exhibit was ing for most viewers . With my method of marvelous , at the Chilton Art Gallery you expression I can select everyday images must be juried to exhibit there ." To be and use those images in conjunction with a juried literally means that the artist must religious theme , provoking the viewer 's show high quality preformance before imagination through criss-cross being allowed to exhibit. perspectives .

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. The program is helping both parties to grow.
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 .
This latest Genesis album is not in the least bit perplex instrumentallyor vocally as some of their older albums were. This latest Genesis albumn is not in the least bit perplex instrumentally or vocally as some of their older albumns were when Peter Gabriel was lead vocalist. This, although may be somewhat of a disadvantage to a few older avid Genesis listeners . These fans , find their Genesis ' music too common and conventional - not as complex and extraordinary as their past material.
it manifestsan entangling effect upon the listener, and once again the group is able to seize the audienceto the point where the audience wants to hear more. I feel this new Genesis albumn is as superior , if not surpasses their older albumns . It manife~ts an entangling effect upon the listener, and once again the group is able to seize the audience to the point where the audience wants to hear more. The albumn is of excellent quality as far as music and lyrics are concerned. I recommend it strongly for thosewho look upon their music seriously and get much satisfaction , enjoyment, and relaxation out of it .
Most of the songs on the album have the potential to become top ten hits. To promote the albumn Genesis has cast a national tour that began in early November. For those interested, Genesis will be appearing at the Philadelphia Spectrum Nov.25, 26,
