Since there is only the remotist of possibilities that the dorm will be ready for occupancy by September , 1984, Nicoletti said, "We are looking again into the possibility of different housing options. More than likely , we will go with another half a year at Cabrini East ."

34 freshmen run in classof '87's elections

by D.S. Field _ Cabrini 's largest freshmen class may have had the largest number of candidates for its first class officers' elections. Thirtyfive students ran. Eight of them were commuters, and 15 made it to the runoffs .

"I don't know why so many freshmen wanted to be class officers," Chairperson of the Elections Committee Marie Hunsberger said, "It 's just something in the way they carry things through as a group. They've got a lot of ambition. " "Everybody has different motives for running ," Al Miller, run-off cand'idate for vice president said. "They have individual ideas, and I guess they don't feel that just one person has all the right qualities to run the class. They feel that they have to run."

Dean of Students Sr. Christine Baltas, MSC, atributes the activ iness of the freshmen class to the former admmissions staff.

"I think admissions recruited students who were involved lea ders in high school," Baltas explained.

"I ran for offices all throu gh junior high school and high school," Anne D'Amico , run-off candidate for president said. "This will be my seventh year as a candidate , so I thought I might as well run again. I feel like my experience can help ."

'I'm running for office, because I feel that commuters are usually left out of activities. For instance, the Junior/senior meeting was held at 9 p.m.

How many comm uters can make that time?

Denise Clark "I really enjoy being a lea der," Michelle Iatesta, run off can didate for president said. "I quess it's part ofmy personality. I think being in SGA would give me another chance to be a leader."

"I think the freshmen have been stimulated by the SGA executive board 's public activeness ," Chairperson of the History and Political Science Department Dr. Jolyon Girard said. "The freshmen have seen the revitlization of such important groups as the Student Academic Council and the conduct committees."

"They also seem aware of some of the college' s problems, and they want to do something about it ."

"I'm running for office, because I feel that commuters are usually left out of activities," Denise Clark, run-off candidate for commuter representative . "For instance, the Junior /senior meeting was held at 9 p.m. How many commuters can make that time?"

Freshmen elections were basically held in the ususual format. Self -nomination poster were posted from Nov.14 to Nov.18.

Elections were held during lunch outside of the cafeteria from Nov. 29 to Dec 2. ~nd during diner on Nov. 29 and Dec 1. By 5 p.m. on Dec. 2 Huns berger announced that there had to be run-offs in every position.

The following students made the runoffs: for president : Lisa Catini , Anne D' Amico , Michele Iatesta , and Sean Meenan ; for vice president : Ruth Brown , Michelle Jones, and Al Miller ; for secretary: Karen Bowers , Kathy Hasson , and Colleen Hogan ; for tresurer: Anthon y Dade , Kery Hogan , and Kathy Morrell ; and for commuter representative : Denise Clark and Patricia McPhelim.

Run-off elections were scheduled for Dec 5 at lunch and diner and for Dec 2 at lunch .

PERSPECTIVES

editorials G_ivestudentsthe room to grow and park Commuting to Cabrini is quite an adventure. A person has to get up early, get in their car and drive through the gates of this institution. Then commuters have the thrill of searching for a parking place somewhere on the campus.

The parking lots behind Sacred Heart and the Widener Center are usually packed with cars fairly early. The parking area usually has cars parked haphazardly in, on and around the parking lot. One can notice the TR7 slowly sinking in the mud or the blue Mustang that will need a crane to get it out of the ditch that it has been forced to park into.

There are several problems with the parking lot overload. One problem that commuters find is that resident students are parking their cars during the day in the Sacred Heart parking lot. For their convenience, residents are driving to classes and taking up parking spots designated for commuters. Also residents of Counsel Hall park their cars in the lot closest to them, behind the Widener Center. Instead of using the parking lot behind Grace Hall, residents take away ______,, the spaces needed by other drivers.

The alternative parking lots are to be used in case the main lots fill up. The lots behind Grace Hall and Woodcrest should accomadate the overflow of cars. The problem with these parking lots is they are located on the outer reaches of the campus. When a commuter circles the Sacred Heart parking lot, they waste time and end up using an alternative lot anyway. By the time one hikes from these lots, one is really late for class.

The alternative parking lots are isolated and lonely. The lots are tucked away in the far corners of the campus and too far from the center of activities.

For the price of a parking sticker ($10), a person should be guarenteed a parking spot. The parking spot should not necessarily have to be on the other side of the campus.

The very structure of the parking lots are a hazard as well. With cars parked on the grass, around corners and in illegal parking spots, it is sometimes impossible to get around some of the cars. The parking lot becomes a maze, with no way out.

An obvious solution to the problem would be to build a modern underground parking complex or have commuters park their cars in a high rise parking complex on the roof ofWoodcrest. These solutions are costly and a bit impratical.

However, serious thought should be given to expanding the present Sacred Heart parking lot.

Since cars park on the grass along side of the lot, maybe the lot should be turned into a real parking lot complete with blacktop and yellow lines. You cannot blame commuters for inventing parking spots when there are not any.

The college should also enforce stricter parking policies during the day and keep resident drivers from parking their cars in a spot reserved and needed by mobile commuters. Tickets and fines are good deterrents to those cars that are illegally parked.

Since Cabrini is an ever growing and continually changing college, should not all facets of the college, including parking space, grow and change as well? As Cabrini is effectively meeting the needs ofits students, let it not forget to give the students their space to grow and park.

Children should be aware of nuclear issues · The threat of annihilation through nuclear war has greatly influenced consciously and unconsciously entire generations since the first atomic weapon used at Hiroshima. The Nuclear Age has imminently loomed over mankind, affecting people's lives and attitudes toward the future.

Unfortunately, the age group that this awesome fear is directed towards are children, although other age groups may be influenced. Many adults try to avoid the subject of nuclear arms around children, rather than discuss anxieties and consequences with them. But because the threat of an all-out nuclear confrontation dominates our present world, the issue can not be ignored.

According to a viewer's guide released by the Cultural Information Service, research conducted reveals that at least 40 percent of American children have heard about nuclear weapons before age 12. ·studies also report that many of these young people are deeply worried about the threat of nuclear annihilation.

The question concerning us, as the present and future educators for young people, is how do we deal with their pervasive fear?

------------------------------

At least 40 percent of American children have heard about nuclear weapons before age 12.

------------------------•--------

One controversial issue is whether children should be educated on the subject of nuclear arms in the classroom or in the home. For quite a while, their education on this economic, moral and political issue has been debated. Many educators and parents ask whether it is necessary or appropriate to provide youngsters with information in this area.

Many children are aware of the death, destruction and environmental havoc that a nuclear war would bring to the earth. Despite an on-air advisory by ABC at the beginning of "The Day After" program, many parents allowed their children to view the film. Parents felt that an issue as important as this could not be left unexposed, frighte~ing as it is for _children.

Opl n10n

Educating and informing today's generation is the first step in preventing the actuality of a nuclear war. A large percentage of the population would be able to act sensibly and intelligently knowing the consequences of nuclear war and take preventive measures against it. But permeating childrens' minds , with extraneous, frightening facts that would only confuse them is not the answer. Children are too young to completely understand deterence theories, techniqualities of a war or the mistrust that has always been a part of governmental systems. It is the eduacator'sjob to answer childrens' questions directly, telling them as much as they want to know. This will enable us, as educators and concerned adults to move one step closer to alleviating some of their fears.

In dealing with children, it is important to try and achieve a sense of balance.

For instance, youngsters are well aware that the threat of destruction is prevalent in our society today. But that idea can be counterbalanced by the child's awareness of the world's desire for peace. They must know that there is a flipside to the coin and although fear is a realistic emotion, people can't allow their lives to be ruled by that fear.

One of the most ideal places to deal with fear is in theome because to the young person, it resembles safety. It is in this enviroment that the family can identify their deepest fears and voice their hopes for the future.

In schools, depending on their policies of educating for social responsibility, films are shown in classrooms and workshops are set up for parents and teachers to discuss aspects of the Nuclear Age and attitudes of peace that should be relayed to children. In some schools, these issues are dealt with through Social Studies, Sci~-nceor Religion classes. Here students are free to discuss or ask any questions that they may have.

We must remember that our primary responsibility as leaders of the next generation is to educate youngsters so that they may be less likely to fall into a psychic numbness towards the Nuclear Age. Hopefully, they will not be the generation to unintentionally commit mass suicide.

At Christmas,now and always...

A year and some months ago, I received a very special birthday card from a woman who is near and dear to my heart. I had the beautiful experience while growing up of having a special relationship with her. She often referred to me as her "adopted son," a title I am proud of. On the card was a simple quote by Etienne de Grellet that I have since remembered by heart: I shall pass through this world but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do, let me do it now ... for I shall not pass this way again.

She signed the card, "God bless a young man who has been like a son to me." The message on the card captured perfectly the philosophy of the special person who sent it. The words articulated her own actions for others. In the 13 years I have known her, she has exemplified much "kindness" and has done many a "good thing." By her

sincere generousity and advice, she has indeed been like a second mother to me.

As Thanksgiving has passed and Christmas approaches, I have given a good deal of thought to this special woman. It has become a personal tradition for me to be sure to visit her and her family on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas . I don't see much of her since I've been away at school, and I enjoy seeing her on these special occasions.

This year, after seeing _her on Thankgiving, it was she who gave me an insight into the significance of the Christmas season.

At present, my special friend is very ill.

Her poor physical condition due to a continual battle with cancer gave me cause to once again reflect on "the true meaning of Christmas." I think it has a lot to do with that quote on my birthday card- "any kindness ... or any good thing ...let me do it NOW."

Christmas presents the opportunity for many of us to do kind deeds and share good things. We all know that. But don't forget, we must do it "now," and not just during Christmas either. I think the true meaning of Christmas is exemplified in people like the special woffidn who has been so good to me all these years. She projects love all the time, not just at Christmas.

The meaning of Christmas, is perhaps, an articulation of the love we feel for others all the time. As we celebrate Jesus' birthday, we celebrate our friends and loved ones. I think we should "do it now ...for we shall not pass this way again."At Christmas and all through the year.

God bless a beautiful woman who has been like a mother to me. It is people like her, the ones who love, who epitomize "the true meaning of Christmas," and of life, every day of the year.

PERSPECTIVES

letters Education isa challenge Dear Editor, Many members of the Education Division were pleased to see some coverage devoted to education. The layout was interesting, the pictures excellent and the spotlights on DeMatteis, Schulmeyer and Kuhns very appropriate. We do thank you for your efforts.

You should know, however,that many education students responded with comments such as "about time that we had some coverage." Others have said, "Why devote so much coverage to sports or other hot issues when you devote so little to so many ed majors?" Another said, " I am suprised that the many activities sponsored by the CEC, PSEA and ECE receive little attention. More people belong to those clubs than to all the sports teams on campus."

While Larkins' article was designed to show that ed majors were abused, she managed to reaffirm the "cut and paste image." Bag her studies for fun and games in education , was the tone and it probably reflected the general thinking on campus.

There is little understanding regarding the demands placed on those seeking certification, double certification or certification and a second major.

Education majors must work an extra day each week to simply fulfill the field experience requirement. This is one full day, each week, (for three years) that is not available for sleeping, classes or study.

The Education Division majors meet the same GER as all other students. They maintain grade averages that challenge any other major and they produce more valedictorians than should be represented based on their numbers. Education majors must meet QP A standards higher than the general college standards and they must have suitable supervisors in order to be admitted to the Division.

No other department maintains such a rigorous screening procedure. Still our majors suffer from the "cut ana paste" labeling of others, who are probably not terribly secure regarding their own accomplishments.

The general college-aged population is somewhat unaware of the crisis in education. Recent reports from the state and national governments plus private foundation research, point to the crisis. One aspect of the crisis is the under-valuing of the teacher and the teacher's role in promoting and securing the future of all people.

It might be appropriate to talk with some of those "cut and paste" majors and find out why they work the extra hours and meet the added certification requirements.

The present education majors may be the the most dedicated and caring college students of all generations of teacher preparation professionals. Never were good teachers more severely needed in the U.S. We should be proud that some of the very best come from Cabrini College!

Fondfarewell Dear Editor, At noon on December 1, Grace Hall faculty, staff and students gathered around a hot cider bowl in the Grace Hall Blue Room to bid a fond farewell to Vita Gianguillo. ¡vita, a much loved and respected housekeeper, befriended and aided all of us for 15 years.

It was a warm and joyous occasion with good wishes, hugs, flowers, gifts and clicking cameras. However, when the Counsel Hall men presented Vita with flowers and a beautiful, four-piece silver coffee service, the guests fell silent and then burst into applause. It was a rare and touching moment that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thoughtful, generous, loving and nicely executed, it was. It was also beautiful.

Counsel Hall men, we color you wonderful.

Sincerely, Jo Harris Brenner, Zita Derham, and Joseph Romano

viewpoint Enjoying youracademic reading Have you really devoured a book lately? I don't mean outlined it or rushed through it for class the next day. I am talking about devouring so_that it becomes part of you. It seems like summer time and holidays provide me with my only chances to share my identity with a book.

There seems to be a clear definition in my mind of what is "school" reading and what is pleasure reading. I define school reading as a task that must be done as expediently as possible, rarely enjoyed, and always in keeping with what the teacher has in mind.

- barbara bruhin Pleasure reading, on the other hand, is very personal. I read and reread at my own pace. The main points that I choose to focus on are those that are important to me, I don't feel that I have to compete with the critics at pinpointing a "meaning".

All that matters is what I think. The meaning that is created the first time I read a book could be a totally different from the second time. What is important is that I have grown or changed as a result of reading that book.

I remember sitting in my high school English class where it was understood that only the teacher knew the answer to the famed question of the "right meaning". Class discussions consisted of a guessing game during which students frantically tried to tell the teacher what he wanted to hear before he began to sputter off critical interpretations and historical facts.

There was always the risk of being wrong. This seemed only to bring tension to the task of reading literature. A student's response to literature was only "right" ifit was comparable to the critics'.

Throughout our high school careers we were forced to do all academic reading, whether it be history, science or literature, with one though in mind: the test. Reading_soon became associated with the tension of making the grade. Those of us who

Sinceri1y of war & peace To the Editor, There is a Jewish proverb that says that an insincere peace is better than a sincere war.

Currently, there is an insincere peace existing between the superpowers. For good reason, they do not trust one another, and they are justified in doubting the other's peaceful intentions. There may be some people who would prefer the simplicity and clarity of a sincere war to an insincere peace, but most of us are prepared to accept the ambiguity and complexity of an insincere peace. We know that a sincere war between the superpowers is likely to end in a nuclear holocaust in which the survivors might well envy the dead.

It seems unlikely, however, that an insincere, hostile peace will endure for long. It is crazy for the United States and the USSR each to be spending hundreds of billions of dollars on nuclear weapons with the illusion that it will be possible to "prevail" over the other side in a p.uclear war. The leaders of the superpowers have allowed their nations to get caught up in a dangerous situation which is driving them into actions and reactions that are increasing the chances of a nuclear holocaustan outcome that no one wants. How long can this insincere peace last before the superpowers find theelves involved in a very sincere war in which no one will win?

Chris Petruzzo

Closeness &good times To the Editor, As a member of Sullivan House, I am appalled by the attitude of the administration and fellow students toward us. Contrary to popular belief, the "Men of Sullivan" participate in all campus activities,just as much as any other house and we have a greater percentage of participents compared to larger residences.Fifty percent of our house partici-

have managed to find the enjoyment in reading on our own are quick to draw the line between pleasure reading and academic reading even in a literature course.

As college students, how are we going to put pleasure back into our academic reading?

It wasn't until I came to Cabrini that an instructor ever asked me what "I" thought of a book. The question floored me.

I wanted to run to the library to find refuge with some well known criti~ who would respond to the literature for me. I read the story three times looking for a clue somewhere between the lines. I ffidn't trust what I felt and I wasn't able to identify parts of the text which made me feel a certain way.

There I was a sophomore in college, studying to be an English teacher and I didn't even know how to respond to literature. By the end of the semester I did know how to respond, but I also learned that in order to respond to "school" literature I had to devour it. Before I could analyze •it, I had to identify my own personal feelings toward it .

How many times, in your history or philosophy class have you been asked to give a personal response to an essay and you simply didn't have anything to say? You could tell what it said but the question of how you felt about it was something you had not given much thought?

While talking to Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson of the English and communications department, about his views on teaching literature, he stated that perhaps the analytical approach to teaching literature is stressed too strongly in the high school situation.

He added that, though the analytical view of literature is valuable, students should be able to articulate how and why a particular piece ofliterature affects them personally before ey go to the critics.

I have found that giving a personal response to literature is a skill that must to be developed. It is also a difficult skill for English teachers to facilitate. The message that is given when students are taught "go to the critics", is one that personal response does not matter. Since I have added personal response to my academic reading, I also have added enjoyment.

What the critics, the philosiphers or the historians have to say is only part of what I need to know. Before all else, I must know what I have to say.

pates in inter-collegiate sports, we have club presidents, editors of the school paper and many prominent members of the Cabrini community.

We do not abuse each other's rights, and we all look out for each others safety. For the sake of all of us, I hope the individuals who put us down, have the facts straight before they open their mouths. Life at Sullivan is not big party, it's a college dorm, that lives on the belief that closeness, respect and good times are an essential part of collegiate living.

Thomas DiRusso, resident of Sullivan House

Humanrace isat stake To the Editor, There was a great deal of controversy concerning the airing of"The Day After", a fictional drama about nuclear war. Supporters of a nuclear freeze or disarmament felt the film was a very realistic and educational event for the general public. Supporters of nuclear deterrence and of a militarily strong America have condemned the show as being defeatist and destructive.

I am convinced that the telemovie was all but destructive in nature. Those opposed to the airing of the film felt that although the possibility of a nuclear holocaust exists, it is virtually impossible to prepare for it. Consequently, the psychological impact of the movie will only cause frustration and despair for viewers when they realize the bleakness of their future.

Contrary to such attitudes is the fact that the movie did portray a rather realistic view of nuclear war. It opened the eyes of many people. It made atomic death real to the public. Denial of the possibility of a nuclear holocaust is dangerous. "It makes us susceptible to political manipulators who use the lure ofjobs and national power and security to take us ever closer to the abyss," states Pearl Gladstone in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Nuclear war is a very real threat to our nation. It is a threat that the American public should be concerned about. For too long it has been pushed into the backs of our minds because it was too horrible to think about. "The airing of'The Day After ' has brought it out on center stage," states Philadelphia TV columnists Lee Winfrey.

Action is only incurred when there is a real need. The real need is now, the day before. We need to act toward the pursuit of stability in the world.

Although there is no simple solution to the problem, there is something that can be done. ABC's "Nightlitle" commentator, Ted Koppel, held a national dialogue immediately following the telemovie to address the American public on what steps can and should be taken.

Briefly discussed were such actions as eliminating the "launch on warning" system, reducing the number of warheads in Europe and striving for more productive talks with the Soviets toward international stability.

Ted Koppel summed it up perfectly when he concluded that "We have to remain calm and unemotional. We need to find a means toward a solution, for the human race is at stake."

Insufficientparkingspace arousesconcern

by Susan Baj The increased enrollment at Cabrini College this semester has brought with it further complications in regard to the parking lot situation. Students, especially commuters, seem to feel that nothing is being done to enable them to receive sufficient parking space.

Deirdre Desiderio, junior, said, "There seems to be little difference between the problems the residents are facing concerning dorm space and the problems the commuters are facing concerning parking space. However, it seems the dorm space problems are being given immediate Attention, while the commuters are left in what is still a hopeless situation."

Vinnie Conte, junior, said, "I believe that this school has a lot of guts for giving tickets and selling parking permits due to the fact that there isn't enough parking for over half the school. Also, the school should provide more parking facilities, if they intend to increase the commuter enrollment."

Senior Mark Bova said, "It seems only reasonable that if Cabrini continually accepts new students each semester, enlarging their enrollment, then they must be prepared to accommodate these students with sufficient parking facilities."

r==

There is at Cabrini what is known as a Traffic Committee . Last year it was basically headed by and worked through the Dean of Students Office . However , this year it is being run by Sr . Regina Peterson , MSC, who was also a member last year.

The basic function of the committee is to examine all sorts of traffic problems at Cabrini . According to Peterson, the Traffic Committee is designed to respond to student needs . It is trying to be the "sounding board " between students and the administration .

The Traffic Committee wants to make sure all traffic on Cabrini College property is safe . It also realizes the space problems with the increased enrollment.

It 's getting worse each semester . Cabrini knows how the commuter enrollment has increased, and it's time they do something about it."

Doris Hickman , junior , sa id, "Wh at I'd like to know is where does the money go that is paid for parking perm its? Shouldn 't it be used for correcting pr oblems with the parking situation? "

However , according to Pet er son , it appear s no money has been allocated in the budget this year for immediate parking lot expansion . Peterson said , "Ther e is no talk of extending th e present parking lots ." It seems , though , further parking facilities are being considered in r elatio n to the construction of the new dorm itory and the area in which it is to be bu ilt.

Changesin examshedulehelp avoid conflict

by NancyVaden This year there has been a change in the format of the final exam schedule. Instead of having finals on Saturday, this day will be a reading day.

In previous years after the last day of classes, there were one and a half reading days. After the reading days, exams would begin straight through until Sunday.

Sunday was the only day that served as a break between taking exams because exams would then resume on the following day.

This year, however there has been a change according to Jo Harris Brenner, assistant dean for academic administration.

After the last day of classes (Dec. 12) there will be one reading day and exams will begin the following day . There will be the same number of exam slots as in previous years, which is two exams per day. The two week exam period will be separated by Saturday(Dec.17)whichisnowareading day. This gives the students two days to rest from exams. Also on the last day of exams there will be three exam slots, according to Brenner.

"The changes in the schedule were brought about in order to avoid the Saturday conflict," Brenner explained.

For some students the change

WCAB and SGA plan Cabrini's first Superthon On the first weekend of the second semester, SGA in cooperation with WCAB will be sponsoring the Helping Hand Superthon.

At the event, each of Cabrini's clubs and organizations will be in charge of running .an activity.

The 35 hour superthon will begin on Friday, Jan. 20 with the live broadcast on WCAB of a doubleheader basketball game.

It will continue with activities such as movies, a coffee house, various contests, sports competitions, and an auction. The finale held on Saturday, Jan. ·21 will be a New Years Dance.(For a more complete description of the tentative schedule turn to the SGA page . ) According to Robin Larkins, SGA president, this type of campus-wide superthon is a first for Cabrini .

The idea of sponsoring a supethon comes from Frank Hogan, radio instructor and moderator of WCAB and a teacher at Glassboro State College where a similar superthon has successfully been held for the past 12 years.

The idea originated last semester as a way to get the radio station involved with the campus community. According to Hogan, the superthon has a dual purpose.

The campus community will raise money for a charity and can simultaneously have a lot of fun.

Hogan hopes that the superthon will become an annual event, if there is a full - committment from the whole campus.

Tom Schultz, WCAB station manager and Andy Zipfel, music director are working along with

SGA to organize the events. •The radio station will be broadcasting live throughout the duration of the event. WCAB's involement will all them to work along with other Cabrini organizations and will also allow the station's disc jockeys to gain experience.

The money raised during the superthon will be donated to the Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Foundation, more commonly referred to as Lou Gelrig's disease and also to the Ronald McDonald House.

When discussing the superthon, Robin Larkins said,"SGA hopes to get all students involved and have the support of the entire campus to make it a success. SGA and WCAB are sponsoring the event but the Cabrini community is running it."

Widener Center develops minOrstructural problems

Maintenance Worker Dennis Faulkner is seen here hooking-up one of the scoops used for snow removal from the roadways on campus. (photo by Lisa Del Borrello)

by Barbara Mongelli The three-year-old Widener Center has some minor structural problems that are often inconvenient for members of the campus community .

First, there are two sets of doors in the Widener Center which are not supposed to be used as entrances or exits, yet they still are. Also there is a door that can only be used as an exit. Second, the walkways which connects the Widener Center and Sacred Heart Hall is chipping away, leaving its debris strewn along the walkway. ' These problems may not be major, but they can be annoying.

The door which serves only as an exit on the south end of the Widener Center, located next to the walkways , would be a very convenient entrance for residents, especially considering the fact that at least seven out of the 10 residencies generally enter the building from this direction (also the commuter and Cabrini East vans are located right outside of this exit).

Instead, they must either go through Sacred Heart Hall, or they can climb the wall of the walkway.

Why then isn't this doorway simply made an accessible entrance to the Widener Center? The answer is just as simple, the lack of a sidewalk.

A sidewalk is necessary to prevent mud being tracked in during bad weather, and as a safety measure.

According to Mike Caranfa, director of the physical plant, a sidewalk was probably never put in due to cost cutting at the time when the Widener Center was being built.

Plans to install a sidewalk were made. For this year the budget included a sidewalk, but due to a budget freeze it was put on hold. "We will probably resubmit it (the sidewalk) for next summer," Caranfa said.

The two sets of doors in the Widener Center g'athering area which are posted as being emergency exits only, are constantly being used.

The doors can be opened from the inside, but not from the outside. , They are a convenient access to and from the parking lot behind Sacred Heart Hall. Since

by Lucia Laurito With winter on the way, the removal of ice and snow from the campus roadways, residences, and parking lots becomes a major concern.

The campus roadwaysare cleared,sanded,and saltedfirst.The, parkinglotsare clearedsecond,and the residencesare third.

When it does snow the removal should be under control, according to Michael Caranfa, director of the physical plant. At the beginning of the semester, strategy meetings were held with the plant's employees. At that time each employee was given a particular station on campus to remove snow.

A schedule is drawn up ahead of time to avoid confusion as to what is removed first, who is to do it, and how.

If there happens to be a snowstorm during the night, each employee of the physical plant carries a card allowing them to contact another employee through a chain of phone calls.

The campus roadways are cleared, sanded, and salted first. The parking lots are cleared &econd,and the residences are third.

The physical plant has in stock for the winter months about 14 tons of sand, and 3000 pounds of calcium.

If the removal should ever become too overwhelming fo·r the physical plant, they have employed a back up company for on-call service.

The plant has obtained a new plow this year to aid in the removal of snow on the campus grounds.

Another big change is the making of the entrance of King of Prussia Road into the campus one way. This will make it easier for the physical plant employees to plow the road.

"I think they (the physical plant) keep everything pretty well cleared off," sophomore Charlie Smith said, "however, I also think there are a lot of problems with snow removal in the parking lot behind Sacred Heart Hall. We had no place to park last year."

the doors are used so often, (some students prop chairs in between the doors to keep them accessible for those on the outside), many question why they continue to be labelled as emergency exits.

Freshman John Monachello exits the door on the south wall of the Widener Center.

Many students wonder why this commonly used exit is not an entrance. (photo by John Doyle) Caranfa explained that the reason for this is the lack of a vestibule, a small entrance hall used to trap hot air in the summer, and especially cold air in the winter.

Caranfa said, "It's (the vestibule) very important for keeping energy costs down," adding that the doors are not labelled emergency exits because of any fire code.

Caranfa said that keeping these doors shut is important for the comfort of the people in the Widener Center gathering area, since the lack of a vestibule will make the area colder if the doors are continuously opened.

Caranfa pointed out that Woodcrest is the same way, in that it lacks a vestibule, adding that they checked on the price of having avestibule installed (for Woodcrest), and it was very expensive. The cost would be even higher to have one installed in the Widener Center.

According to Caranfa, the reason for the decaying walkway is the temperature at the time of installation. Caranfa said, "Plaster cannot be put on below a certain temperature, but it was. It was something they did when (the conditions) weren't ideal, and it just didn't work."

When asked if the walkway would be fixed soon, Caranfa responded, "We won't do anything about it until the spring. It was done (the first time) in cold weather and that's why it's falling apart. If they we fix it now, it will just fall apart again."

Caranfa said that he doesn't anticipate any problems because of the icy winter weather coming. He said, "If any (plaster) falls off. we send someone over to sweep it away, and a guy regularly does it."

Lightingequipmentstolen SGA to rewrite constitution New cruise price announ~ed from the Little Theatre· SGA plans to rewrite its constitution in the beginning .

Lighting equipment is believed to have been stolen from the Little Theatre in Grace Hall during the Thanksqiving vacation (Nov. 23 to Nov. 27). · The supposed thieves broke a side window paine near the lighting control board, located in the southeast corner of the theatre, to get in. Why anyone would steal the lights is up to •DanielePerna speculation.

Theatre Director Daniele Perna feels that the perpetrators were not from another theatre company.

"Theatre people know the true value of the equipment to a performance," Perna explained, "and would find it unethical to take lights froma a theatre doing a show."

Perna hopes that an alarm will soon be installed in the building as a deterent to any possible future break-ins.

The break-in is still being investigated by the Radnor Township Police Department.

The government document is a letter that acknowledge s the fact the the male st udent had indeed registered for the draft .

Without the document, no federal ~nan · cial aid could be disbursed , according tc the legislation .

However , much controversy followed the passing of this law as reaction again st the legislation began to build . As a result of the controversy , a compromise waE reached . The compromise permitted the disbursement of funds based on a signed "Statement of Legislation Compliance " form.

The compliance form noted that "You will not receiv~ ... financial aid unless you complete th~s st atement, AND ~F REQUIRED, give proof that you are reg1stered with the selective service ." At pre sent, the "AND IF REQUIRED" statement

has been changed . For the next academic year all eligibel male s "ARE REQUIRED " to present proof of registration with their compliance forms.

The change puts students back to the original legislation . Therefore , to receive federal aid in 1984/85 studen ts will still need to complete the "Statement of Registration Compliance ," however , those students required to register with the selective service will also have to produce a photocopy of of their "Registration Acknowledgment Letter ."

The full time student in need offinancial aid must, therefore, have a continued average of at least 2.00 and at the same time be passing at least an average of 16 credits per semester .

Students falling below these minimum standards will be suspended from receiving any financial aid until they have brought themselves back into to satisfactory standing. Additionally , students falling below the minimum will be reviewed individually by the academic dean. In some cases a determination of "Conditional" satisfactory standing can be made and aid disbursed .

Students having any dificulties with their studies are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the excellent service provided by CARe (The Center for Academic Reinforcement in the Counseling Center ).

All students who will need any sort of financial assistance for 1983/84 (Including student loans) must make "Satisfactory Academic Progress ." "Satisfactory Progress" is defined in terms of both the GPA and the amount of credits taken and passed . . .

Previously , a student was makmg satisfactory academic progress with a minimum of a 2.00 GPA while taking no less than 12 credits per semester . At present , the revision calls for the same 2.00 minimum cumulative avera 'ge, however , the 12 credit minimum has been redefined .

Santa symbolizesspirit of Christmas

by Debbie Kidon "You better watch out, you better aot cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why ...Santa Claus is coming to town."

His red fur trimmed suit and elflike cap.

His long white beard, ruddy conplexion and chubbiness dominate his appearance.

His personality symbolizes the generous and festive spirit of Christmas.

Santa ·Claus has emerged from colonial times to become one of the most colorful holiday figures and the most recognized holiday symbol around the world. He is the legendary bringer of gifts for children on Christmas Eve. Andy Zipfel, senior, said, "The idea of getting a reward for being good teaches a child a lesson. Also, gift giving and sharing are fun and important to us in the holiday season."

The Santa Claus of the United States comes from a combination of folk traditions originating from Europe.

The name Santa Claus came from the Dutch: Saint Nicholas or Nicolaus to San Nicolaas or Sinter Klaas, and finally to Santa Claus.

Early Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam celebrated his feast day, December 6, with sports and gifts for children. But, soon his visit to the children became linked with Christmas, since it was a time to give g1tts.

Around the world, the differences in the appearance of Santa Claus may make him seem to be an entirely different person.

For example, he appears today as he did hundreds of years ago, dressed in the c·olorful robes of a medieval bishop, including the red miter on his head and the long cape over his shoulders. The red miter and cape became the basis for the clothes of Santa in the United States.

Canadian and French customs concerning Santa persisted longer than some other countries, but they finally gave way to the American idea of Santa.

S'pecial

In Italy, the Epiphany, or Little Christmas, is the gift giving day, coming from · the day the three Magi arrived. Santa Claus in Italy is a female, Befana.

There is also a female version of Santa Claus in the U.S.S.R. Until recently, her name was Babouschka. It has now been changed to Grandfather Frost, making their version a male.

In Germany, the Cristkindl or Christ child brings gifts to the children and then participates in sports around the Christmas tree.

Many people are suprised to learn that the person that Santa Claus originated from actually lived.

The real man, Saint Nicholas, was ·a bishop of Myra in Asia Minor during the 4th century. Legends were told about the man's reputation for kindness and generosity. He became one of the most popular christian saints. Through his miracles, he became known as the patron saint for young children and students.

The Santa Claus of the 20th century can be seen any time after Thanksgiving in any of the shopping malls and various other places. But, the fact that he is there makes the myth live on in the eyes of children.

Al Monostra, senior, is the Santa Claus at the Court of King of Prussia. From the looks of the children that he talks to, he seems to make them very happy.

Junior Paul Breslin said, "Santa is a great thing to believe in when you're a kid.

Christmas would not be Christmas without him."

Tom Schultz, junior, said, "He's · a cool dude. Santa portrays an image of goodwill for one time of year. He is a symbol of joy, happiness and a little bit of fantasy to believe in.

Mark Magner, junior, commented, "Santa Claus is someone we should b'elieve in because he's in all ofus."

Look very carefully ... Do you recognize this man? Have you sat on his lap, or perhaps in class with him? In class?, you say. How could I possibly sit in class with ... Santa Claus of all people? Well, believe it or not, Loquitur has answered the question of who is Santa Claus. Through intense investigation, we have found that Santa Claus is Al Monostra, senior, Cabrini College student. It's a small world. (Photo by Debbie Kidon)

For those ofus who are residents of Counsel Hall, we will best remeber Vita as our soft spoken, gentle housekeeper (except for when we were really messy!) with the heavy Italian accent.

She befriended many of us by always taking the time to share a smile and pleasant conversation. In Counsel, we don't have "cleaning ladies," - we have fnends. Vita is one of them.

We like to refer to Vita and her work~ng companion, Dottie Watson as the "Dynamic Duo" of

Vita is CounselHall tradition.

Counsel Hall. They · have certainly , performed above and beyond the call of duty on many occassions, particularly on Monday mornings after one of our more "active" weekends. Not only did they clean up after us, they took pride in our building.

They often treated . Counsel more like a home than we did.

For Vita's contributions we are extremely grateful. Luckily for us, Dottie will continue to keep us in line.

Each Christmas season, as the Men of Counsel decorate the dorm, Vita and Dottie add to our tradition. Their fire place display with a stocking for each resident is our holiday reminder that they are as much a part of Counsel as we are.

This Christmas we would lil,,{eto make Vita Gianguilio an honorary resident of our dorm. We at Counsel have always tried to maintain that Counsel is a special place to live. it is people like Vita Gianguilo who make it that way. We are going to miss you Vita. Thanks so much. We love you!

McKelveytells of realworld reporting I've finally made it. I'm a "real" reporter out there in _ the world. Good-bye Loquitur and hello migrane head~ ache! I know you must be thinking, what could possibly be harder than working on the Loquitur under the guidance of Dr . Zurek who would whip you with his multi-rule if you made one mistake on the paper .

I've found the answer; working on a real-life newspaper. I work at the Main Line Times in Ardmore. It is

Self Profile:

a small suburban newspaper with a very small staff. I took this internship after working on the Loquitur for. two years. My job there . entails a lot of writing in a variety of subjects. I've written anywhere from a woman traveling 200 ft. below the ocean's surface to rockbottom obituaries or obits as they are called.

Writers on the Loquitur have not had the luxurious job of writing about a dead person. Take it from me, it isn't thrilling . As ,a matter of fact, a lot of things are different concerning Loquitur and a "real" paper . First of all , before I get beaten with a multi-rule, I should explain that I truly feel the Loquitur is a good paper .

Without the experience of the Loquitur , I wouldn 't have this internship at all. I only refer to my internship as a "real paper" to distinguish between the two papers. · . Many of you must be wondering what it is really like to work on a newspaper . Fir st of all, and I say this perfectly sober, working on the Loquitur is a piece of cake! No, I am not on drugs either. I know you all may have one story a week or more, but how would you like to have three features to do all in one day between the hours of9 a.m. and 4 p.m ., with no information at all about the article, except for a, contact's name? You want to talk pressure, break out the bottle of aspirin.

Rita McKelvey, senior, intern reporter for the Main Une Times, says Loquitur is a "piece of cake" compared to "real world reporting ."

Not only do I have the pressure of receiving an assignment , interviewing sources , and writing the article all on the same day , there is also the added pressure of the phone system .. Most interviewing is done over the phone. Many times the phone system is down. It malfunctions . On one oarticular dav. with three feature s to do and no phone, I had to do the stories in two hours flat- interviewing, writing, etc. I remember while on the Loquitur complaining about having an article to do every other week .

In addition to these stories I also had fillers to do, college capsules and business briefs. Fillers are small stories that fill in empty spaces. College capsules and

A guide to Christmas· gift giving

spectrum

by Robin

Larkins .

"It is far better to give , than to receive."

There is certainly no better time to put this philosophy into effect than at Christmas time- a time of peace, a time of joy, a time of celebration and good cheer.

This article is dedicated to all of those jolly old St. Nicolases out there who lean their ears this way and that way to find out the perfect presents to get the special people in their lives, besides The Cabbage Patch Kids, of course.

According to an article in the December issue in "Glamour" magazine, "Basically, gift-giving is a form of communicationan expression of one's inner desire tp relate toothers in order to satisfy a wide range of personal objectives. Often, in fact, the motivation in giving is of far more significance than the gift itself."

The ·article continues, "The 'what' and 'why' of your giftgiving can offer valuable insight into your real feelings and a better understanding of your inner self."

This article suggests the degree of importance many people place in selecting just the right gifts for those on their Christmas list. It always seems that many people can never just run to the mall and pick something up, no matter how much of a hurry they're in.

Said one Cabrini Christmas shopper, "I try to choose a gift that I think describes the person and the thing they represent. I don't set out to buy one thing in particular. I like to look around. This way, when I find the perfect gift, I know it's right for the person I'm buying for. Ultimately, I like the present I give to someone to be an expression of myself and how I feel about someone." · Since exams and the Christmas season seem to coincide with one another, college students especially, have a difficult time in devoting enough time in pickin_gout the righ!

Christmas presents for tamily and friends . As we all know, the situation can very well become quite hectic .

To aid the Cabrini community in selecting the proper gifts for those around campus, the following gift giving guide has been suggested and compiled. The source, you ask? An exclusive Loquitur interview with Santa Claus, of course.

This is what the following people would probably like to see the most under their Christmas tree this year: Sr. Eileen Currie, MSC, president of Cabrini College: a new dormitory ready for occupancy by September, 1984- completely paid for, of course; her very own video tape recording of"Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" and other selected Christmas specials to watch whenever she wants, as often as she likes, to get into the Christmas spirit; and an entire issue of Loquitur filled with upbeat, positive news about Cabrini.

Dr. Joseph Romano , vice president for academic affairs: having a Cabrini College football team in the Orange Bowl playing against the Villanova football team for a national title; a year without any failure warnings; and a year's supply of tobacco for his pipe.

John Dzik, director of admissions: a 100 percent success rate in recruiting male basketball players to come to Cabrini College.

Patty Hinke,junior: for John Dzik to get what we say he wants for Christmas.

Colleen DiRaddo, stuclent activities director: an entire semester's worth of successful student activities- all within budget, with enough time in between to get reacquainted with her husband . (his name is Jim in case you forgot, Colleen) Sr. Bernadette Casciano, MSC, campus minister: to see white smoke emmanating from the chimney when she enters the Vatican in Rome during her trip there in July.

business briefs are shorts about local college students and business people.

The first meeting that I ever covered in my whole life in the real world happened during a wild rain storm.

The storm had subsided when I ventured out to my meeting. Being the student that I am, I didn't think to bring an umbrella, plus I only had a half an hour to get there. Once I had found the building, I thought l was seeing double. There were two buildings and I only had five minutes to get to the meeting. I ran, mind you, with two trick knees into the building to find where the meeting was. That good ole' reporter's instinct led me to the wrong building. I had to run all the way to the other building.

I tried two doors until I found one that was open. By this time, I felt like a soaked dish rag . I climbed the steps two at a time with two minutes to spare for the meeting . I entered the room with squeaky and squishy shoes. There was no one in the room. I asked another person where all the people were for the meeting. The man informed me I was one hour early . He asked what paper I was from and I was too embarrassed to tell him .

I was going to make one up like The Dish Rag Daily .

That was my first experience as a reporter. :Smee then, I have calmed down considerably. Okay, so I have blood shot eyes , writer 's cramp, and no fingernails left. At least I've survived . I couldn 't see myself doing anything besides writing . There is too much satisfaction in rela ying a feeling or knowledge to the public.

Despite anything that Dr . Zurek tells journalists about wha t it takes to be a reporter , remember, it only takes these few things : You simply have to be able to interview , talk on the phone , write , type, listen to your editor , eat lunch , call home to mom, run your copy down to the printer, go grocery shopping, breathe, and wear a full suit of armor for protection on deadline .

Good luck and good writing!

Fr . Mark Falcone, O.Praem. , chaplin: a tree trunk and branches to go along with the leaves strewn on the floor in his office; and not to be in Rome when Sr. Bernadette sees the white smoke and becomes Pope .

Gus Nicoletti, director of resident life: a year's supply of campus signs; a committee of four females to help him select a decent coordinated wardrobe; and of course a surgeon general's warning on mouthwash containers that gargling can be hazardous to your health, (in that it can cause severe head injuries when used near shelving units.)

Bill Haile, cafeteria and Wigwam manager: to be an invited guest on Julia Child's cooking tips show; and be voted as an Evening Magazine's best place to eat in the Philadelphia area.

Mary Mulligan, -R.N., campus nurse, a year's supply of vitamin B-12 and flu shots for an entire willing campus to receive them.

Al Monostra, senior: eight tiny

reindeer, a new red suit, and a full time position after graduation as a philanthropist in the North Pole.

Brian P. Jensen and Tom DeMatteis, seniors: their very own Christmas tree farm. (It sure beats trying to find a tree at midnight from an all night tree stand or other distributors.)

Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson of the English and communications department: about eight new word processors for the Loquitur office; Loquitur reporters to meet their deadlines; and a new carrot pen and other carrot paraphernalia.

Any journalism student: beds and showers installed in the Loquitur office to make all night vigils to get on the computer to make deadline, more pleasant and comfortable; and of course a Monday afternoon and an entire week completely free of journalism class, and Loquitur story, layout and paste up deadlines. Personally, that would be the greatest gift of all, next to a night of sleep.

CampusSol.indhavingfinancialproblems

by Lisa D'Ascenzo Over the last four years, Campus Sound, Inc., an organization which provides sound equipment and technical assistance for various college activities, has been seeing a steady decline in both student participation and in the organization itself, according to senior Dave Pilla , president of the club.

Pilla, who has been involved with Campus Sound since his freshman year when it was called Living Arts, said, "We used to have one or two events a week, now we have about one a month. Before, we could count on between 400 and 500 people attending an event, now we're lucky if we get 50."

Pilla feels that _part of the reason for the drop in attendance is the absence of alcoholic beverages which used to be served at dances and other events sponsored by Campus Sound.

The main problem with Campus Sound is the lack of sufficient equipment and records . -At the Junior /Senior dance, their amplifier- blew up, making it impossible for Campus Sound to put on any more events until a new one ! S bought .

"We are trying to get new equipment but it 's difficult with a budget of $100 a semester, ". Pilla said .

John McQueen , junior and vice-president of Campus Sound , said many problems began this semester when it was discovered that some equipment was missing from last year. The Student Government Association lent Campus Sound money to buy new speakers , which is still being paid back .

"SGA has been very helpful to us ," Pilla said. "They 're really doing the best they can. " "We need more albums ," Pilla said. "Only a handful of our records actually belong to Campu s Sound . The rest are donated by members. "

Campus Sound wants to put on fund raisers in order to meetings held in the chapel and Manison. They are the get money for new equipment, but it's impossible until they sound system for Cabrini.

"Campus Sound has a constitution that says we will · get a new amplifier . provide total sound entertainment for the entire campus," "Hopefully, we can get a donation or loan, pay it back, McQueen said . "We can't do it without more student parand get the amplifier we need," Pilla said. "To update all ticipation and new equipment ."

The lack of participation can be attributed to the fact that _ our equipment, we would need a maximum of$1,00_0for the amplifier, new turntables and possibly an equalizer." The many people are becoming discouraged and losing interest $1,000 does not include money for new albums or needles in the club, according to Mark Magner,junior and member of Campus Sound. that need constant replenishing .

"Since the amplifier blew, we haven't been able to do any "We try to satisfy everyone," Pilla said : "We ask the more shqws," Magner said. ""When we are hired to do a people at dances to write down requests for songs so we can show, we get paid so we can improve our equipment. We can't do any shows, so we don 't have any money.

GenesiscaptivatesSpectrumaudience

By Judy Buck .

Intensity, excellence, and perfection were shown by the group Genesis during their Nov. 25 performance at the Philadelphia spectrum .

At approxiamently 8:20 PM , before a rowdy, sold-out crowd of thousands, Genesis appeared on stage. They began their almost two hour rendition of songs from the past as well as the present with the popular song "Dodo" from the album "Abacab." .

Phil Collins , lead vocali st and drummer , did an excellent job entert aining the enor mous crowd. Collins portrayed immense energy by his singing as well as drum playing efforts . Collins captivated the audience many time s th ro ughout the concert. When Collins told the audience to follow him in a trip down memory lane and the music to an old Genes is song "Squank " quickly began, the audience roared loudly , almost drowning out the band.

Theater Lab presents 'The Wizard of Oz'

by Sandy Barone The members of the Cabrini Theater Lab are preparing their production of "The Wizard of Oz." The annual children's theater presentation is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 3, 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18.

The play, under the direction of Cabrini's theater director Daniele Perna, is a dramatization ofL. Frank Baum's story of the trials and travels of Dorothy and her companions as they follow the Yellow Brick road to the magical land of Oz. According to Perna, appearing as Dorothy, the little girl from Kansas, is Cabrini freshman Barbara Petracci. Dorothy's traveling companions will be played by Cabrini freshman Mark Murray as the Scarecrow; Brian Feeley, freshman, as the Tin Woodsman, and Joseph Giuffre, freshman, as the Cowardly Lion.

The Wizard of Oz will be played by Kevin Sexton. Perna said Sexton has worked with him in the past with the performing arts program assisting in directing. He is now doing an intership with Perna.

Francine Califatti, a Cabrini dormitory Resident Manager will portray the Wicked Witch of the West. The Good Witch will be played by freshman Patricia Brown.

Freshman Virginia Smith will appear in the role of Auntie Em . Appearing as Uncle Henry will be either Anthony Casazza, senior or Kenneth Krieg, freshman. Paul Cauchi will appear as the Gatekeeper.

Children from Cabrini's Visual and Performing Arts Program will appear as the Munchkins.

• Karen Rider, freshman, will assist with the wardrobe . Daniele Perna Jr., freshman, is the productioIJ. stage manager with assistants Robin McKeon, sophomore and Vincent Mirabella, senior.

Perna said, "The majority are freshman and I've always worked with upperclassmen in these productions and trusted them because they were trained more. They were trained according to their eyework. Working with students, freshmen especially, you're taking a little bit of a chance."

Perna said that he saw them perform and working with him, now he sees them rehearsing with him. Perna said that the students are earnest, working, they discipline themselves, and that they are able to take his directions and his techniques well.

This is Perna's third time around doing the Wizard of Oz. Perna stated reasons for doing it again. "The Wizard of Oz is very popular, and we try to do it every five years because people love that play and it's an exciting, enjoyable play."

Perna commented, "I was very happy with the first cast and second cast, but I feel this cast, because of their energies and the excitement of being freshman, this could be the best."

On Dec. 5, Monday night, the cast will be doing a special performance for the Special Education kids. According to Perna , they will continue to perform in Jan . 21, 22, 28, and 29, as well as in Feb. 4, 5, 11, and 12. _ In May and June, the cast will go on tour. "This will build a reputation for the students.

It's good for them."

Admission to all performances of "The Wizard of Oz" is two dollars. Additional information and reservations may _be obtained by calling the Cabrini College Theater office at 6889618.

Gene sis' light show was brea thtakingl y awesome in itself. The light s, of every color imaginable enthralled the looker to utter fascination .

The band outdid them selves to say t he least . One may h&.vegone to the concert just to see the excellence displayed in the light show , but not many. The avid Genesis listener was there to experience the forceful and vibrant energy found soley in the vocals and music of the band .

Collins talked and joked with the Philadelphia crowd, making them more responsive than ever . The audience was most responsive to the older songs Genesis played, such as "Squank" and "Follow You Follow Me." The audience also seemed more than thrilled when the band came out for their

encore with a popular song from thei r albumn "Duk e," called "Misuderstanding ." After this, th e ban d im mediately went int o ano tl-.er song from the same alb umn , "Turn it on Again ."

One of the most fascinating things Gene is did was incorpor ate t hree songs sun g by other ente rt ai ner s into th is song. The band sang a Rolling Stones song , "Satisfaction ," which was more than a shock to the audience . And what a shock it wa s! The audience as well as the band were in full swing.

The encore ended when th e band finished a tune from the Kinks . They then returned to playing "Turn it on Again " and ended the concert with giving Philadelphia a tremendous thank you . But Philadelphia seemed more thankful to the band for providing them with excellent entertainment , to say the least , for nearly two hours .

The best study schedule includes daily study for an hour or two for many days, ending with a concentratedreview right before a test.

The Study Skills course is valuable in helping students realize the importance of good study habits. Two books used in the non-credit course are "Successful Test Taking" and "The Study Skills Handbook ".

Jamie Miller, senior, Student Academic Council President, explains, "It is up to the students to start saving their tests to contain them in the file. We are aware that some teachers don't return midterms and finals to their students.

Then it is our responsibility to acquire these tests to file them in our system ," said Miller . The test files will be given to dorm representatives and will be accessible to commuters through the library.

"What I'm going to do is start preparing for finals by finding out what will be included in the test by asking my teachers ahead of time, " Mallinckrodt said.

One helpful study guide will be the test file system that the Student Academic Council plans to create. The objective of the test file system is to save previously taken exams from other years and organize them in the file.

According to these books, planning study time is very important. The best study schedule includes daily study for an hour or two for many days , ending with a concentrated review right before a test.

"Cramming is not the best way to learn. It makes students less flexible in a test situation," said Barbara Rubin , assistant director of CARe. Rubin added, "You can relax and use logic if you know the information and have better chances at guessing."

If a· student hasn 't been studying weeks in advance for finals , then cramming is a must. As to staying up all night long studying, it's better to study as much as possible then get some kind of sleep.

Chorusto give Xmas concert

by Beth Daly For many students here at Cabrini the annual Christmas concert is nothing more than another activity to possibly attend .

The Christmas concert, scheduled for Sunday , Dec. 11 at 3 p.m. in the Widener Center Lecture Hall. The concert is organized and run by Adeline Bethany, chairperson of the fine arts department.

The students singing in the concert are members of the Cabrini chorus. According to Bethany, "the group is larger than ever and growing steadily. There are approximately 20 students, and 10 alumnae, 50 al together."

When asked how long there have been Christmas concerts Bethany said, "there has always been a Christmas concert, it is traditional."

Usually the concert is held on a Sunday evening but this year, according to Bethany, the concert will be held duriRg the afternoon . The reasoning behind the switch is that more people are apt to come for an afternoon concert, especially if there is foul weather, than in the evening.

Bethany said, "the program changes, but there is always a sing a' long." Traditional songs such as "A Christmas Fantasy" and "Gloria in Excelsis " will be sung this year, according to Marie Caccese , alumna and president of the Cabrini College/ Community chorus.

The·re will be one major change in the concert format this year. Cabrini 's Jazz Ensemble will share the concert time , according to Bethany. "Although," Bethany said, "both groups are both getting so big that they may require seperate concerts."

Quantity is fine but the quality of the singers is even better. Bethany said, "musically this is the best chor ever . This is the first year that I have felt that the gruop is able to handle the "Hallelujah Chorus", which is an extremely difficult piece."

A member of the chorus, freshman Cara Graham, said, "The "Hallelujah Chorus" is a really difficult piece, but Mrs. Bethanv and her accompanist, Clara LaPorta, tak~ the time to teach us each section."

Freshman Virgmia Guinot, another member of the chorus, said, "I like the chorus, it is fun. The chorus is different from what I am used to doing. It's more on a professional level."

Vinnie.Mirabella:'impressiveand nice'

by S_he!agh McGmn_ . . ..

It 1sn t hard to notice Vmme Mirabella when you walk thro_u~h Cabrini's hallways. At 6'3", 185 pounds, he is a fam1har face throughout the campus.

Mir'.1bella is the captain and o_nlyseni?r ~n this year's Cavahe~ basketball team. A native _ofWilmmgton, Delaware, his basketball career started m elementary school.

He then played four years for St. Mark's High School where they won the state championship.

Keith Fogarty, freshman, attended high school with Mirabella. "He knows what he wants out of life and he's going after it," Fogarty said. "The most impressive part is that he knows what he's got to do to get it."

~1rabella has the reputat10n throughout the campus as bemg a friendly, easy going person. He has the respect of his fellow players both on and off the basketball court.

"I've known Vinnie since freshman year. He has grown in his skills of basketball as well as with the team in the role he plays for the team," said Martin Clancy,junior. "As a captam, he understands his role on the team and excells in leadership. I consider him a clost! friend both on and off the court."

According to Tom McGowan, junior, Mirabella is always willing to help others. "Vinnie will put other things aside to talk to you," McGowan said. "As a captain, Vinnie leads through his actions. He gives 110 percent on the court whether it's a game or practice."

"The thing that impresses me most about Vinnie is that he's so nice," said Denise Tinucci, sophomore. "He handles life so well," she added.

Apparently Mirabella lives up to these standards of nice and impressive. "After going out with Vinnie for over four years, you would think I'd know him better than anyone," said Debi Johnson, sophomore. "But I learn something new about him every time I'm with him ...he's that special."

Mirabella first heard of Cabrini through a college fair held at his high school a nd chose Cabrini for a number of reasons.

"I wanted to pursue basketball in a college atmosphere," Mirabella said. "Also, Cabrini is closer to home than other schools I was considering." These other schools include Mount St. Mary's and the University of Scranton.

An only child, Mirabella is a history major with plans to work an office job at General Motors after graduation. He will continue playing basketball through his regulaifsummer league and hopes to someday coach -young children.

Sport facilitiesneed attention

By Judy Buck The sport facilities offered to Cabrini students have been of a great concern not only to the students but also to the faculty.

It is acknowledged that Cabrini does not present a wide variety of facilities for its students to use. The ones offered are few, they are: the gym-natorium, meaning it can be used as a gym or as an auditorium, a tennis court, the athletic field, and a weight room and locker room which are located.in the lower level of Sacred Heart.

"Our "facilities are over taxed at best," said Colleen DiRaddo, director of social activities. "We have poor facilities, one gym and one field for all intercollegiate activities. The students aren't able to have a little one to one game in the gym at a particular time because, in most cases, a sports team is practicing. If students want a dance they have to knock out sports."

Di Raddo discussed certain goals she feels could be attained for the college. She mentioned that she would like to see a wellness program created here at Cabrini.

YA wellness program here would incorpQrate the weight room, areobics, intramurals and many other activities that are needed by students, the . program would work for the school while serving the needs of students," Di Raddo said. "Many schools have this program. It markets itself, therefore making money for the school. The first priority for using the facilities always seems to go to the athletic teams because we have such a spare~ amount of facilities, although that is not right either. For a wellness program to one day take place, we must assess what we've got, what's missing, and try to see if we can fill what's missing as well as what's needed."

John Dzik, director of -admissions and athletics, as well as head of the men's basketball team is very disillusioned with the sport facilities offered to the students.

"The gym presents a problem because it's not exclusively used for athletics," Dzik said.

He feels that the gym is used for too many of the activities that take place at Cabrini, which presents a disadvantage to students. According to Dzik, it cannot be used solely for sports, dances or the many other functions that take place there.

As far as the sport field is concerned, Dzik stated,"There are many sports that take place on the field, and another one is definitely needed for those teams that must have practices when games are taking place."

"The tennis court is not in any shape to be played on," Dzik said, "A men's tennis team is going to try to be initiated this spring. I'll refuse to practice on the court, mainly because it's not in practicable condition."

There was also a plan to make the the locker rooms more serviceable to men and women, according to Dzik. This plan would have created a much better atmosphere for students using this facility. Indoor - outdoor carpeting would have been provided to make the the rooms more sanitary as well as comfortable. This plan was stalled before even getting off the ground.

"For an intercollegiate program, our locker room area is a disgrace. The master plan, which was already drawn up, needs to be administered now, not in 1999," Dzik stated.

"My number one concern and what I feel is . the most necessary for present use," stated Dzik, "is not a new field, or a gym but a decent locker room for our students as well as for visiting schools. Must we be embarrassed over and over, sending our visiting teams to change into what seems like a closet and cubby hole? I fear what their · impressions of our school must be . We owe ourselves more than that."

Funding is needed to provide satisfactory conditions for these facilities. Robert Connolly,junior, stated, "With the expansion of the college, I feel that the sports program has grown, and that we do need a new field house or something to accomodate the growing popuiation of the school."

Len Siwak, junior, also expressed his concerns regarding the sport facilities.

"More facilities will enhance the campus to become more lucrative to perspective students," he said. "The facilities that are used now are currently limited and should be expanded to students."

"The future of new or improved facilities depends on funding," Dzik said. "The development office has to work with the school. There has to be money spent for the improvement of the facilities.

The improvements are long overdue,in my opinion, and need to be addressed ."

There has been progress in the weight room. This is due to the concerns of many students and forceful efforts of Edward O'Brien, senior, and Matthew Garrison, junior. They are trying to organize a club for men and women who want to work out with the weight equipment.

Cav'sjoin Tournamentsahead for EPAC; face Cabrini's men's b-ball team .hardseason . . by _B.J. Petrac~I . , , !his ye~r'. Cabrm1 Colleges mens athlet1cs has Jom~ a new_league, the Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference. EPAC was formed basi~ally around men's basketball, but also includes soccer and cross country.

"Next year, Cabrini's women's athletics will also join in the EPAC," said Helen Goodwin, women's athletic director.

The league consists of Allentown College, Eastern College, Lincoln University, Spring Garden College and Cabrini College.

'Nextyear Cabrini's women'sathleticswillalso jointhe EPAC' -Helen Goodwin, women'sathleticdirector According to John Dzik, athletic director and men's basketball coach, the league was formed geographically as well ~s by the individual school's athletic abilities.

The teams are all basically equal, but Lincoln University has a few advantages.

First, they are not a private school, therefore, it is less expensive to attend. Due to this , Lincoln can recruit more easily than the private schools. Secondly, they are a university so their attendance is larger than the other four schools.

'Thisleagueis moredifficult thanthe leagueCabriniwas in lastyear.'

-John Dzik, athleticdirector

byJohn McQueen Cabrini College men's basketball team is taking another step towards national recognition. The mer(s athletic department made the decision to participate in the first National Catholic College Basketball Tournament.

The tournament is scheduled to be held in Dubuque, Iowa this January under the sponsorship of Loras College of Dubuque and Anheuser-Busch of St. Louis. The men's teams will play Jan. 5 8, and the women will compete Jan. 12-15.

John Dzik, athletic director and men's basketball coach, said he first learned of the NCBT through a questionnaire sent to him by the selection coqimittee of the tournament.

Dzik replied in the questionnaire that he would be delighted to have his team take part in this annual national event.

"I thought that it would be good exposure for the team and the players, but most of all I thought it would be an honor for Cabrini to play with the top 15 small Catholic colleges in America," said Dzik.

The women's basketball team was also asked to participate in the NCBT, but turned down the opportunity because oflack offunding. The men's team has begun to sell chances to raise money for their air fare to Dubuque.

The other teams which have accepted invitations to the NCBT are Belmont Abbey of N.C., Cardinal Stritch of Milwaukee, Mt. St. Clare of Clinton, Iowa, Christian .Brothers of Memphis, Tenn., Marycrest College and St .

Ambrose College of Davenport, Iowa, Rosary College of River Forest , Ill., Our Lady of the Lake of San Antonio, Siena Heights College of Adrian, Mich., Viterbro of LaCrosse, Wis., Xavier ofN.O., Marion College of Fond Du Lac, Wis., St. Xavier of Chicago, Ill., St. Mary's of Orchard Lake, Mich., and the host team from Loras.

The games are to be played using the facilities at Loras College and the University of Dubuque _ The finals of each tournament are to be played in the Dubuque Five Flags Center. The finals of each game will

also be carried on air by ESPN and run for that entire week.

In addition to the championships, a Catholic All-American Team will be chosen for both men and women.

Cabrini is guaranteed two games in the tournament and will open up against Viterbro College on Jan. 5 at 7:15 p.m.

The opponent for the second game will depend upon the play of the other teams in the tournament.

Dzik is very optimistic on how well Cabrini will play in the tournament. "I expect us to be representative," he said.

Many of the players are really excited about the NCBT. Freshman Karl Sartor thinks that this will be the highlight of his basketball career . "I have never played in a nationally recgonized game before," Sartor said. "It should be great ."

Cav's named to all-star team

by Virginia Smith Cabrini's volleyball team has tremendous talent. Their combined talent was not enough to allow them a winning season but their failure to recreate last year's success is due more to the league upgrade and play style changes than to the girl's abilities.

This talent was recognized when three of the members of the volleyball team were

named to all star volleyball teams. Leslie Kraska, sophomore, was named to the first team while Joanne Goebel , sophomore, and Eileen Herbig, junior, were named to the second team.

The all-star teams are honorary titles given to recognize the league's best players . As part of the application procedure, each coach submits the names of the three girls he f~els are best qualified . The

"This league is more difficult then the league Cabrini was in last year," Dzik said. " Our record probably will not match last year's record of 22-6, but we should come out with a much better team."

The EPAC league also includes baseball, but Cabrini will not enter this aspect of the league. , Dzik does not see this sport as having a future at Cabrini with the present athletic facili_ties.

"We do not have the field or facilities to · have a baseball team," Dzik said.

The soccer and cross country schedules were also upgraded as a result of joining this new league. EPAC will place a more intense challenge on the Cabrini Cavaliers.

coaches from each team then choose from this pool of girls to vote for the six members of the team . The girls are placed on either the first, second, or third team according to the number of votes received.

"The fact that all three of our git ls make a place on the all-star teams is great," said Herbig, "especially for a school our size."

"I feel fortunate to even be playing this year," said Goebel. Goebel suffered a knee injury last year and was forced to undergo major knee reconstruction as a result.

According to her doctors, Goebel was expected to sit the bench this season.

"I had to work out with weights all summer to get my knee back into playing condition," Goebel said. "I was surprised that I was named to the second team." ''The title is nice," Herbig added. "It 's an honor to know you were chosen out of so many nominees. It's makes you want to work even harder."

A common factor among all three girls is dedication to the sport. Kraska has participated in organized volleyball throughout her high school career. She was named team captain and most valuable player her senior year of high school.

"I love volleyball and I want to keep playing after college," Kraska said.

Goebel and Herbig have both been playing since high school. Both were named to the All Catholic team and all three have received scholarships to play for Cabrini.

The girls are proud of their achievements as representatives of Cabrini. "I feel like we're representing Cabrini and the volleyball team, not just ourselves," Herbig said.
