The technological advances of the computer age have not excluded Cabrini from its sphere of influence . Man y beneficial resul ts and a handful of disadvan tages have re sul ted from th e installation of the computer system . The installat ion of the centr al pr ocessing unit into the business office and the computer terminals into administrative offices, occured in August oflast year . Representatives from Applied Business Technology (ABT ) came to familiarize the department's operators with the computer and give them basic training. The training program, sponsored by ABT was des igned to give the administra tiv e staff a run down of basic computer opera ti on of th e Wang system. Many offices found this tr aining to be beneficial , particularly t hose wh o were previously fami liar wit h compu te r systems and operations . Others who have never work ed on computer s found thi s to be a new experi ence , sl i ghtl y t o t h eir dis ad vantage because of the ti me factor in volved in learning the tech_nicalities . Robin Larki ns, sen ior, worked with t he Wang system thi s summer for the studen t service s office. Of her experience she commented , "Basicall y I was hired for my word processing experience . My initial job was to learn word processing on the Wang system and then teach it to the other members of the office who C'bviously did not have time or the familiarity with computer s to sit hours at a time and pour over manuals of instructions. I found that the office per sonnel were extremely uncomfortable · with the computer and had a fear of work-

ing with it. " As expected, the installation of the computer system in the business office has been extreme ly he lpful in conse rving a lo of tim e that would normally be spen o long and tedious work. Jim Keches , business manager , as responsible for the conversion and installment of the Wang system and served as the campus liason between ABT and Cabrini . ''The administrative offices are adju sting well to the computerization of their departments. It's funny, after a wl,iile you get dependent on the computer and can't imagine everyday use without it ," Keches said. Although there has been a sense of success generated from the new Wang system , there also has been noticeable problems among some of the offices. The problem, as it seems by general concensus among these offices, is the limited amount of time to learn operation te chniqu es. Mary Ellen Lilly, director ofresid ent life sees this as a problem that te mporarily hinder s he r from sophi sticati n g her knowledge of the Wang. "In order to learn how to operate th e comput er, you must make time to work with it," she sai d . Colleen DiR a ddo , stud ent activities director , is still in t he process of learning about the Wang system . "Righ t now we are still learning how to alter the progr ams . Jim Keches helps us with that . Some tim e in the near future I will be putting TWAC on the computer and the (dean of studen ts) office will be storing other items , such as the handbook , and records of parking tick ets, " DiRaddo said.

loquitur - friday,oct. 26, 1984
letters 'lb the editor,
The staff of the Children's School was appalled to open the Oct. 12 issue of Loquitur and find a picture of our school accompanying an article on livein babysitting. For the nearly ten years that the Children's School has been in existence, we have sought to dispel the misconception that we are a babysitting service. The teachers at the Children's School are certified in Early Childhood Education and each is presently continuing her education in hopes of. bringing new ideas and knowledge to our school. The Children's School is an academic institution, just as the college is. We are currently licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education as a private academic school. Loquitur's staff is not alone in misunderstanding what it is we do. Many members of the campus community do not even know that we exist. The newspaper however, is in a position to rectify this dreadful situation. Please feel free to come visit our scho-ol, interview staff and students and observe first-hand what it is we do. Sincerely, Susan Kane, director; Ellen Jackson; Pat Williams; Kathy Daly; Katie Mc Devitt Tothe editor, The SGA page of Loquitur's Oct. 5 edition car-. ried an article regarding academic advising, "Can our advisor ·s advise?" Some of the suggestions offered in the article are valuable ways in which the advising system can be fine-tuned. For example, the advising of double majors and honors students has to be done with the single purpose of the students' academic wellbeing. Greater attention has to be paid to the danger of overloading an advisor with too many students. Unfortunately, these important issues were overshadowed by some erroneous conceptions that " With our intensive five minute training session, and this easy to read 'p_amphtet' on computer survival ltategies, were reported in the article. For example, the artiyou will be able to master Mr. Wang and all his helpful little program friends in no time!" cle reports that "full time teachers are hired solely upon the basis of their academic credentials and teaching abilities . Advising capabilities are not considered in the hiring process." This is simply not true. Candidates for faculty positions are reviewed from the total aspect of their knowledge and familiarity with academic life; and, in particular, how they relate to students. Surely , these are important features in a good advisor, and they weigh heavily in our selection of new faculty. was done in many of the offices where the computer system was We have the technology ... we pave the computers ... we have The article reports that "many times students placed.

Our so? undergraduate major programs offer excellent instead of a defined destination. The praises and benefits of computerization is a tune which We at the Loquitur can identify and empathize with the preparation for those students who wish to pursue can be sung over and over again with little dispute from graduate studies. I would welcome anyone to cite problems of computer adaptation since we were faced with it a anyone .

viewpoint And now for future shock Back in January, the big talk was "1984;" comparisons and contrasts to Orwellian society abounded, talk of how much of George Orwell's prophecies came true or were on their way. Everybody had heard of the novel and looked forward, though probably apprehensively, to seeing what would happen during this year. In a similar manner, I think I have been conditioned to think of the year 2000. My first thought on the 21st century is space; I think the imagery comes from the movie, "2001: Space Odyssey." The vision I hold of life then is on the moon, in spacesuits, eating little yellow tablets instead of chicken- this, because of a movie. When I think about it realistically though, the year 2000 is only 16 years away and probably will not be that radically different.

I have to wonder what I'll be doing at the time. I'll only be 35 years old. (Should I say "only?") Will I be, as hoped, a foreign correspondent for "Time" magazine or will a computer have taken my dream job away from me? Will there even be such a publication or type of job in existence? What can happen in 16 years? Let's look in retrospect. Less than 16 years ago, no one would have ever thought that a man or woman would fly to the moon, let alone·

Auto rental made easy for collegestudents National Car Rental Systems, Inc., the first in its industry to court college students by making it easier for them to rent cars, steps up its efforts this month by offering National V.I.P. credit cards to juniors, seniors and graduate students. Rajiv Tandon, corporate vice president and general manager of National Car Rental's Car Rental Division, estimates that about 25 percent of National Car Rental's cash customers (those who rent without a major credit card) -are college students. "The need for more transportation alternatives is very real for college students," he said . "So is the need to establish a good credit rating. And we know students perceive renting a car as confusing and expensive." To meet the needs of this market, Tandon said National Car Rental has been working to remove real and imagined barriers that have kept college students from renting cars in the past. Students can mail a request for a credit card application to: College Credit Card, National Car Rental System, Inc., 7700 France Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55435.

Are hauntedhouses creationsof the m•ind? by Kathleen A. Breslin
Spooks, black cats, creaking doors and footsteps on the stairs foretell the coming of Halloween . For two Cabrini students who live in real haunted houses , these phenomena are everyday occurrences . Junior Jeanne Daly and her family have witnessed extraordinary happenings since they moved into their Haverford home last January . Senior Mark Magner and his mother have seen and heard poltergeist activity for the past fifteen years in their Tarrytown , New York home . Just last week Daly saw a man seated at the foot of her brother's bed . Upon second glance, he was gone. Prior to that, she saw a dark figure standing next to her bed. When she reached to turn on the light, the figure vanished. Every morning at precisely 3:30 a.m., since the time of the first apparition, Daly is awakened, sensing the invisible presence in her room. Her brother has had recurring nocturnal visits from a black cat that runs across the room and jumps into a chair. Since the Daly cats are not black and have inexplicably refused to come into the family bedrooms, and since her brother keeps his door closed, there is no natural explanation for the appearance and disappearance of the cat. Daly is at ease with the notion of a haunted house, but is reluctant to uncover its 150 year history for fear ofresurrecting secrets better forgotten. Magner's dog, like the Daly cats, retreats when the supernatural begins to stir. The dog hears the same noises that Magner hears. One night Magner lay shuddering beneath his sheets while the
bathroom door opened and closed all night long. Magner has investigated the back: ground of his home for clues about its resident ·poltergeist . The 50 year old home belonged to a German family that emigrated to New York after World War II. In the basem~nt of the house, the Magners found a umform and medals later identified as those of Nazi Germany. Last August, Magner returned home to take a look at the stereo cabinet his parents bought him for his birthday. The bottle of holy water that Magner 's mother uses to dispel the spirit was in the cabinet. This was Magner's first clue that the poltergeist was restless. She told him that the night they placed the sturdy cabinet in his room it trembled and shook. Magner is not afraid of being hurt, but admits that he is frequently startle d by his house guest. He said, "It's as if every once in a while, they walk up and say, 'boo!' It's that kind offear." Referring to a clock that moved by itself across a table, he said, "You've got to draw the line between what you can explain and what you can't explain. Sometimes you can't figure it out." The universality of ghosts and ghost stories indicates that either they do exist or that we have a need for them to exist. Perhaps ghosts are a convenient way to bridge the gap between the · living and the dead. Dr. Carter Craigie, professor of English and communications, said that people have a need to understand or categorize phenomena that cannot be explained. "People ha_ve a proclivity for the unusual," he pomts out.
This seemingly isolated New York home provides the ominous atmosphere for the eerie, unexplained disturbances that Mark Magner, senior, has described. Some people who have heard about the antagonistic apparitions in this house commented on its resemblance to the "Amityville Horror House." (photo by Mark Magner) · But isn 't this what Halloween is all about - a break in the monotony of life. Good ghost stories, like the ones Craigie will tell next week, satisfy a basic curiosity about the unknown. As Halloween
approaches, if the issue of believing or not believing in ghosts is unresolved and has left you a bit edgy, you may be at an advantage to enjoy the spirit of the occasion.

The dance is sponsored by the junior and senior classes of Cabrini and orgap.ized by their officers. Much time and money goes into this one night event and important decisions have to be made regarding where it will be held and how much their budget
will allow. This year , the officers chose from among 15 possible places to hold the dinner dance, out of which there were only three places with the date of the 26th open. "The Sheraton was the least expensive and the nicest," stated Anita Carroll, senior class secretary. The officers decided on the meal by looking over several menus to provide the nicest din-
ner at the best price. Tonight's meal will consist of fruit salad, baked stuffed chicken, a baked potato, vegetable du jour, fresh green garden salad, parfait for dessert and coffee, tea or soda from the soda bar for beverages. The officers believed that they made an appropriate decision in choosing the Top Cats because their music is varied and will
appeal to the musical tastes of all different groups of people . The dinner and dance with open bar costs $26. The dinner and dance with open soda bar costs $20. The dance with open bar costs $16 and the dance with open soda bar costs $10. The event begins at 7 p.m. with cocktails and the cocktail hour lasts until 8 p.m. Dinner is served from 8 p.m. until 9, and the dance is from 9 p.m. until 1.

Musicians'artisticsatisfactioninspiresOthers by Trish Reilly
The Mansion was the scene of a classical concert by reknown musicians Nicholas Mastripolito, pianist, and Richard Amoroso, cellist . The concert opened with "Divertimento" by Franz Josef Hayden. Throughout the recital, the atmosphere was as still as the October evening, itself. The audience seemed captivated by the mastery with which the music was executed, exemplified by the overwhelming response to "Polonaise Brillante," Op.3 by Frederic Chopin. Mastripolito and Amoroso said that they enjoy all types of music, but their love lies
with classical. Born in South Philadelphia, they have very similiar backgrounds and ancestry. Each was raised with a broad exposure to music, especially from family members. Both did not particularly have a favorite composer, but were drawn to the romantic composers, like Tchaikovsky.

Theaterrecreates HauntedHouse
~--
by Kathi Wachenheim
It's that time of year again when ghosts, goblins and gory creatures come out of hiding to scare the daylights out of innocent human beings. Cabrini's annual Haunted House will be presented by the Little Theater tonight, tomorrow and Sunday night from 6 to 10 p.m. The Haunted House is as traditional at Cabrini as are the stories of the Mansion being haunted and the yule log ceremony at Christmas; it heralds the Halloween season. The Haunted House will be held in and around the theater, located in Grace Hall. Admission will be $1 for the tour and $2 for the movie. All benefits go to the charity "Juniors for Seniors." Last year was the first time that the Haunted House was open to the public, instead ofjust Cabrini students. This year's Haunted House will be similar to that of last year, except those who are involved will have more experience behind them. According to Lisa Bellano, a sophmore who was involved with the Haunted House last year and is participating again this year, ''We found out our mistakes and this year, they have been corrected ." The making of the Haunted House requires a great deal of time and work from all members of the cast and crew in the various aspects of the production. Daniele Perna, director of the Little Theatre, is in charge of creating, designing, constructing and running the Haunted House . Perna has assigned approximately three students to work on each room of the house. Some of the s~udents will be serving as tour guides during the presentations and others are working in the areas of music, make-up and costumes. Perna has enabled the students to use their own creative ability by giving them the opportunity to design their own rooms . Bellano, along with Julie Senatore and Kathy Ross, sophomores, are designing the ballroom. Bellano stated, "By designing and putting a room together, you are more comfortable when working in it. You know everything about it." . When asked how it became so successful, Paul Cauchi, sophomore, who is designing the basement this year, stated, "It is well advertised. People come to this more than any other theater event. This may be due to the fact that people are part of the drama instead of just sitting and watching it be performed." Perna stated, "There are groups of people who follow haunted houses (like people follow rock stars) and say that each was the best of all." It takes about half an hour to tour the various rooms and presentations of the house, including the areas outside. As Bellano said, "It will be well worth the money!"

loquitur- frida* oct. 26, 1984 commentary...commentary...commentary sga
Betterplanningis key to positivegrowth outlook The question of growth at Cabrini is one which can be commented on and debated, both pro and con, ad infinitum . No exchange of opinion, discussion of the issue or remember when session is going to change the fact that Cabrini is growing and expanding- and has been for some time now. The affects of this expansion, for the most part, have been positiv~, . 9:s seen through the improvement of facilities, the expansion of curriculum, additional funding and grants made available and ot~er academic, social and developmen~l gams. Yet there is a negative side to this growth which cannot be ignored. This opposing force is the force which throws the norm off its axis and i::equires time to be picked up and readjusted again. The obvious victims are those students encompassing the present student body: I~, on the other hand, change were anticipated, and such growth expected, both present and future students could be benefactors with a' minimum of inconvenience
and dissent which usually results from any sudden change. The growing pains and questioning which we are experiencing now are not new phenomena to Cabrini College. For example, tracing Cabrini history back just a short way, we see that off campus housing and the need for new living accomodations are not new problems . Just over five years ago, students were forced to live at a residence rented from Cushing College before the houses were opened. Since then, there has been a surge in enrollment which has led to current campus overcrowding and the resulting new dormitory. The obvious solution to making growth and change more of a complete positive experience lies in better and more detailed long term planning and the communicating of that planning to the Cabrini community. As one SGA member commented, "Growth should not come at the expense of the present student body." Cabrini should learn from the experiences of their past and better plan to
improve facilities in proportion to expected growth and not react to present growth. Said an SGA Executive Board member, "Cabrini should plan to let their facilities catch up to their expected students before these students inundate the campus. It's almost as if Cabrini has gotten into the practice of operating as an overbooked hotel, not wanting to tum away anyone." This brings up another point of growth which must be considered. The administration and admissions must communicate better together and work towards a common admissions goal figure. An article in the last issue of Loquitur stated that "the administration would like to see a four percent per year growth in enrollment within the next five years ... " Presently there has been an increase in enrollment of ten percent, according to that same article . Perhaps this distinct difference in figures should prompt more definite enrollment guidelines and a reevaluation of admissions requirements in keeping with
the missions and goals established for the college.
In accordance with this suggestion, many SGA members feel that there should be an ideal ceiling figure where Cabrini establishes a maximum number of students which can be enrolled and still fully benefit from the advertised drawing points of the school. All ofSGA agrees that there should be a consistency in the planning of growth and evaluation of its impact to determine just how big personal can be, so as to avoid comments such as the following state<l by one junior member of SGA, "I don't want to feel like I'm losing what I came here for." It should be the aim of evaluatative committees such as Middle States, the Master Planning Committee .and the Board of Trustee subcommittee on development, to safeguard , through proper planning, those small, individualized ideals which draws students to Cabrini and enhances their college experience.
