.Better management, space needed in theater

by Virginia Smith

The Saturday .per~orming arts program , a theater program offered to the communit y through the contmumg education department , received such a poor attendance response that only two of the five offered courses carri ed, with .one half of th e usual enr ollment . Is th e · ·performing arts program now facing a greater competit ion th at has better facilities and greater publicity? Or does the problem lie more internall y with the managem ent of the program and the communi cation among its var ious operati ng agencies?

Meredyth A. Leah y, director of continuing education, the department which superv ises the management of the Saturday program, thinks that the problem of enrollment decline stems eit he: from the out~ated mailing list (which currently numbers aproxiniately 2,000 names), or m the lack of mformation provided in the Saturday series brochure.

"We keep putting new names on the mailing list, but we_don't know how many outdated ones_~re on there before that. We could be sending brochures to people who've been rece1vmg them for seven years ·_ and still haven't responded" said Daniele Perna director of the little theater. . ' ' Before the names were computerized, mailings were done by work study students in index car d fashion . ''At that time, we sent out mailings of over 7,000 names or more," said Pern~. "We have a trememdous following; in just the three days of the haunted house we collected 300 new names. to add to the mailing list."

A~cording to Ju dy Brad ley, coordinator of special programs for continuing education, a possible pro?lem may be in the brochure design. "I look.at it (the brochure) as a person who knows nothmg about theater, and the copy fails to answer my questi ons. What exactly is drama? What do they teach in jazz dance class? Its content assumes too much ."

"We've sent out the same type of brochure every year and have never received such a poor response ," commented Perna . " And ·m ost of the phone calls we've had latel y have been from our regular stqdents and community people who claim to have never even received their brochure yet-so the mailing must not have been complete."

A changeof seasons As the leaves fall from the trees throughout the campus, Frank Norcini, groundskeeper, rakes them into a mountainous . pile, which will probably not rema~nintact. Once a playful group of Cabrini students discovers the heap, it is sure to scatter again.(photo tiy Mark Viggiano) ·

'It is a concernof mineto improvethe theater,but youhaveto thinkin termsof the overallgoodof the college.Everydepartmenthas spacedemands.' _ -Joseph Romano, vice-president of academicaffairs

Additional confusion with the performing arts program may stem from the fact that the theater programs are divided . into two categories : academic, which are the English/ communications programs involving credit courses such as theater lab; and nonacademic ,

Theater academic programs are to The social work club, in conjuction with buttons and a generous contribution utilize the faculty secretaries, and business involving non-academic programs is to be the Federation of Senior Centers and raised by the theater from the annual routed through continuing education.

Th the campus community, Recently, one of the housekeepers who works in Sacred Heart Hall was called (an obscene name) by a student simply because she was doing her job. What this staff member was doing to rate such a comment was removing a poster that had been taped to a wall in the lobby.

According to the Cabrini College stu. dent handbook 1984-85: "Signs and posters may be hung in various locations on campus. Bulletin boards and tacking strips are _available in Sacred Heart Hall, the Widener Center, the library and Grace Hall for posting purposes. Posting is not allowed on painted walls, doors or windows and signs or posters taped to these surfaces willbe removed and disposed of by the maintenance staff.

Believe me, we at housekeeping have more important things to do than remove posters that are not hung in their proper place. The reasons we remove the posters are that it damages paneling cl!ips paint, discolors marble and creates a safety hazard when glass doors are covered with . signs.

Also, I would hope the student who verbally abused the housekeeper would find the maturity to apologize. All of us at housekeeping would appreciate it.

Sincerely, Judith Clay-Mills Director of housekeeping

While most colleges and universities nationwide are battling the problem of imposing alcohol restrictions on their campuses, Cabrini has made some successful strides in addressing this issue realistically. There has been a positive attempt

by Cabrini's administration to integrate all members of the college in forming campus alcohol policies and to help the community deal with the human aspects of drug and alcohol usage on campus. The most recent step has been the formation of the Drug and Alcohol Board.

This issue of alcohol policy was one of the topics of informal conversation at a recent student government conference held at St. Joseph's University, which was attended by atudents from Cabrini, Villanova, and St. Joseph's. In comparison, other colleges' alcohol policies seem to deal more with technicalities than solutions to the internal problem; and are filled with loopholes in an attell_lptto abide with state law, while making concesions to the students so that the policy can be operationally successful.

Cabrini's current alcohol policy is composed of clear-cut guidelines for alcohol usage on campus, which are based upon

Pennsylvania law, and promote responsible social drinking over extreme restrictions. The addition of the Drug and Alcohol Board is especially unique since all members of the campus community have input to it; thus both the responsibility and success of this policy is shared equally by all segments of the campus.

Cabrini first decided to take command of this situation two years ago by attempting ·to enforce a "dry" campus in order to comply with state alcohol laws. For Cabrini, a campus accustomed to having beer at school dances, the extremity of this policy had negative results for those most directly affected, the students. For student clubs and organizations, this policy made fundraising difficult since most students did not want to patronize campus events where alcohel was not present. The poor attendance at these social events also had negative consequences for student morale.

Though outwardly successful, this initial policy assumed an authoritarian approach to dealing with the campus drinking issue, and excluded the valuble resources of the many different social

groups on the campus. These aspects were made apparent to administrators Mary Ellen Lilly, director of resident life, and Colleen DiRaddo, director of student actvities, last year when attending a national conference at which this particular issue was addressed. This conference was the initial impetus to the development of this new program which advocates responsible social drinking.

This program does include every aspect of · the campus community-administrators, faculty, students, security. It is one of the most successful campus programs in existence because it is based on a broad spectrum of people.

This policy encourages students to sponsor more campus activities like Counsel Hall's Coffee House and Woodcrest Hall's Gong Show. These were successful projects which proved that alcohol is not a necessity for an active social life on campus.

Cabrini's drug and alcohol policies are valuble in that they publicly recognize that the usage of these substances can lead to serious problems for a student. These problems are a reality, and the responsibilty to face them must be jointly assumed.

op1n1on -.· Findinga solution to worldhunger

by Virginia Smith "Don't waste your food...children are starving in Africa," my mom would say as I smooshed my peas and carrots into the · plate. I would gladly have put those disgusting vegetables in an envelope and mailed them to Africa -.but mainly so that I wouldn't have to eat them, not to feed some poor starving child. It wasn't that I was too cruel or selfish to care; it's just that I was well-fed and _never personally knew anyone who was starving. So the concept of children actually in need of feed wasn't real for me then.

In grammar school, I was involved in projects like operation rice bowl, UNICEF and adopt-a-mission baby. I was exposed to pictures of bloated tummies, of bony infants, of dark, pleading eyes; ~ heard all the statistics. Yet hunger was still something that was "out there," something that was inevitable, a condition that would always exist in the world because there ''just isn't enough food."

Last week, however, I attended a lecture that brought hunger home to me in tangi-

• 18 million people die of hunger throughout the world each year. So how many is 18 million deaths-really? Fill up the 18,009 seat Spectrum each day of the year for two and a half years and kill every single per- . son that steps inside - that's the hunger death toll per year.

• 35,000 people a day die of hunger. When 1,000 people were killed in India in the four days after Ghandi's assasination, the news made world headlines; 35 times that number have died since you woke up this morning - and it didn't even make the 6:00 news.

• 24 people a minute die of hunger; 18 are children. Liken that to killing off your entire family at Thanksgiving dinner, or wiping out the population of your dorm floor in just one minute.

That certainly makes it more vivid.

Then came the clincher in which all my preconceptions about hunger were revealed as myths: starvation is not inevitable; people do not starve because they are lazy or ignorant; there is sufficient food to feed everyone in the world (there's 0

.

.

son with 3,000 calories per day); there is not a lack of workable solutions to the hunger problem.

When the myths, arguments, and positions are cleared away, what is left is individual committment and responsibility.

This is the only way that any seemingly impossible task has ever been accomplished. The fact is that the problem of hunger is not "over there" and it's not just "their problem." It's our problem. This is our planet and we must all take responsibility for what happens on it if this world is to work at all.

First it takes believing that hunger exists and that we can do something about it. Then we actually need to take action.

Fast for a day, as moral support or send the money you would've spent on food to a hunger organization. Re-educate your family and friends. Volunteer your service. Write your congressman to support grain distribution.

Writer Victor Hugo once said;" All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come." Isn't it u · eweendh er?

The program deals with the problem of usage by not ignoring its existence, or laying the blame upon a particular group of people, but rather having the entire campus assume liability and made to propose feasible solutions for the situation.

Unlike many colleges, students at Cabrini have the opportunity to help shape their own policies, making them suitable to their own lifestyles. However, apathy toward this subject could lead to the withdrawl of this privilege.

Both Cabrini's existing alcohol policy, which has been extended this year to include a provisional party policy for the dormitories, and the Drug and Alcohol Board, can be viewed as milestones for the college. These programs advocate a positive responsibility on behalf of the students, which is more beneficial for students in that they learn moderation and responsible -social drinking, values that can be carried into adulthood. It is also important for administrators to realize that they can achieve more support and effective compliance by imparting trust and responsibility for such policies upon the students.

Dormduty replacedby campuswatchprogram During the summer, the resident life staff re-evaluated the practice of "dorm duty" and established in its place a service called "Campus Watch."

Staffed by work-grant students, Campus Watch provides a more relaxed method of resident security. ' The practice of dorm duty involved a Work/Grant student taking down names of male visitors and collecting identification from each visitor.

Lori Pilarz, junior, and resident assistant in Woodcrest said, "It's not just checking the men going in and out. It's assisting in the overall security on · campus."

According to Mary Ellen Lilly, director of resident life, the decision to change the dorm duty program to campus watch was made in the interest of "accentuating individual responsibility."

Students involved in the program no longer feel that they are performing a duty, but are merely doing their part to enhance campus security.

"The different nuance that the Campus Watch has provided has helped in its success. It's no longer a form of babysitting," Lilly said, Although this system is more relaxed than the strict idea of dorm duty, it also follows a necessary set of rules and command. Students involved in the watch serve as liaisons to the R.A.'s.

Security would only come into play in the event of a serious report, such as one in which an intruder is involved. The resident manager is also on call. .

Pilarz feels that people involved in campus watch are more willing to report on out-of-the ordinary incidents because they would not be the one pointing the finger.

"It's my job or one of the other R.A.'s job to go up to the person involved and confront them about the problem," Pilarz said.

Both Lilly and Pilarz feel that not having someone sit at a desk checking names and I.D. cards is a plus for the program.

Lilly feels that it promotei; more general responsibility on the part of students than dorm duty did.

Asked how she thought Campus Watch was working, Pilarz stated, "There hasn't been any trouble because people know that there is someone around.''

Trafficcommittee addressesparking problem As the enrollment of Cabrini College has increased, the problem with parking has been investigated and ste:($ have been taken by the traffic committee to improve the situation.

Sr. Regina Peterson, MSC, who is in charge of the committee, said, '"Piere is enough room for the people to park their cars. More spaces were built to increase the number of spaces to 200 in the Sacred Heart parking lot and an extra 60 more spaces in Grace Hall's parking lot." Peterson continued to say that parking has not been a big problem. Peterson said, "The over crowding usually happens during the changing of the classes.''

Peterson's major concern is the parking along the road perpendicular to the cafeteria. Peterson said, ''This is a safety hazard and that 'no parking' signs will be posted.''

Along with the over crowding in Sacred Heart; the women in the mansion have also faced problems with lack of parking space. Lori DiMeglio, senior and a member of the traffic _committee, said, "Last

year, the women of the man~ion had one side of the lot in front of the mansion but over the summer, the college took those spaces away from the women." Peterson said, ''The spaces were taken away because the offices in the mansion have expanded in the number of people." DiMeglio also said that Peterson and the committee are trying to solve the problem.

When asked about people who do park in the lots not assigned to them, DiMeglio replied, ''We do not like to ticket first, we try to warn the people before handing out tickets.'' According to the 1984-85 Student Handbook, ''All motor vehicles operated by students, faculty and staff must register after they have been brought on campus."

The _registering of the cars is to help the committee to regulate the over crowding of parking lots.

When questions arose about parking with the new dorm, Peterson was quick to reply,"There will be enough parking spaces to accommodate the Cabrini East students.''

The financial aid department has information on two new loan programs. The new loan forgiveness program provides loans for students who teach math or science in a Pennsylvania high school after college graduation. Students can apply for this loan after graduation but must have previously borrowed through the PHEAA student loan program.

The partnership loan program is available to anyone who goes to school in Pennsylvania . The program provides two loans ; one to the students and one to the parents .

The parents must borrow at least the same amount as the student, but may borrow more. This program supplies funds to families whose loans have been reduced or cancelled due to income .

For more information about these two new loan programs, contact the financial aid office, ext.420.

According to Barbara Rubin, assistant director of the Center for Academic Reinforcement (CARe), the number of students willing to give their time to the tutoring program has increased along with the number of students who request tutoring.

"We are excited about the changes in Cabrini students' behavior. They are becoming ever more assertive in their desire to raise their own academic standards," Rubin said. She continued, ''We know that they are changing because tutoring sessions have more than doubled between September and the end of October."

In addition to the learning groups already in progress, the center adds the following: Biology for majors, Ladonna Mahe-cha, Tuesday from 2 to 3, Wednesday 6:30 to 9:30; Fred Baez, Wednesday 1 to 2; Nina Dolce, Monday 2:10 to 3:00.

When inclement weather makes travelling extremely hazardous Cabrini College will be closed or will open one or two hours late (according to radio announcement).

When the college is open, all students and employees are expected to report to campus. Appropriate precautions are recommended to be taken, such as snow tires on vehicles and earlier than usual departure from home to compensate for travel delays.

When the decision is made to close the college because of inclement weather, it will be announced over all Metropolitan radio stations under "Delaware County Closings" and the snow number will be given without reference to the name of the school.

Children'sSchool inspirespreschoolersto write

by Robert B. Marchesani

Dressed in their Izod shirts and Jordache jeans, eight preschoolers ranging , from two and a half to four and a half years old have just finished a sharing session at the Children's School (TCS). They look to Kathleen Daly, teacher at TCS, squirming with eager anticipation. Daly, walking around the table, asks the group, " What time is it?" to which the children shout, "Writing Time!"

The room is brightly lit with a comfortable combination of natural and fluorescent 1ighting . .The walls are cheerfully colored; the floor is softly carpetted . In the center of the room, the children are seated at the table with Daly kneeling behind them.

The school's philosophy is to encourage learning and to maintain that learning is fun, according to Daly. Furthermore, the school encourages learning because its philosophy maintains that all of life is learning. Moreover, TCS's teachers believe that learning is a choice, one which when made in a positive atmosphere frees not only the imagination but the hand itself as the two become one.

Each child keeps before him a standardsize writing pad. In the middle of the table are four canisters, each filled with colored markers. Each child selects a marker.

While some of the children begin making their marks, others sit and ponder, trying to look inconspicuously at their neighbors for an inspiration. Many of the children at this time appear to be so absorbed in their work that nothing could possibly distract them. Meanwhile, Daly writes in her own pad in order to assure the children that she too is engaged in writing.

Unlike TCS, the experience of most of our early grade ·school days had been one in which the teacher fed us information and expected us to parrot the information back .

In such an atmosphere the child's creative inclination is curtailed. At best, the child copies letters and words off of the blackboard and can expect one session in an art class each week. More importantly, even in the art class the child's creations are rarely acceptable. What may look like a tree to one child may not look like a tree to another child, let alone to the teacher. As a result, the dark cloud of critical evaluation begins to form over each child.

Many of the children around the table are talking about their writing. Max is drawing a whale in blue, while his neighbor Chris is drawing the ''big blue sea for the whale." Though Max is drawing a whale in one book and Chris is drawing the . sea for the whale in another book, it appears the two are becoming one. These

two children are not much older than three years. While some children like Max and Chris write using one color, other children like Sara and Andrew write using many different colors. The children seem to know instinctively to write for approximately fifteen minutes. At this time, each child approaches Daly with their work.

Each child eagerly explains their creation.

Daly supports them by acknowledging · their work.

Though the children's creations would not meet our standards of writing using orthographic symbols, their markings are critical to their development. At the same time most of us were being taught grammar, we were trying to learn how to write.

Unfortunately, the rules imposed on us in grammar blocked our otherwise natural affinity for writing. "The research is staggering in emphasizing the lack of · expressive writing," according to Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson, English and communications department. "In order to develop good wri·ters, the person needs to have a positive self image, a sense of their own voice and an ability to write from experience," he added. Such criteria are formed during the critical years of human . development. .

It is hoped by members ofTCS that these children will approach writing as their · opportunity for self-expression. Upon leaving the school, a few children were asked if Cha~ta! Pasquarello, 4, in~ently works on her masterpiece. Having no and why they liked to write. Chris replied, restnct10ns placed on the,r work, the Children's School strives tor a creative "I like to write because I like to write about learning atmosphere. (photo by Cara Graham) firecrackers." Liam responded, "I like to write because I like to write."

A positive self-image, an enthusiasm for learning, and a curiosity for discovery is what Sue Kane, director of the Children's School, attempts to instill in her classroom of preschoolers.

Following the British Infant School's philosophy , Kane hope to sharpen he children 's coping and crea t ive abilities through experience not only inside, but also outside the classroom. Kane believes that a child's enthusiasm for learning is the basis for future growth.

At the Children's School, the children develop skills in math, science and motor coordination as they build their confidence in such areas as cooking , gardening, and crafts.

A special project that Kane has developed in conjunction with the children's cooking experience is the publishing of a cookbook which contains nutritional reci-

pes. Parents take part in this project by participating in the children's cooking lesson. · Family involvement is an area that Kane stresses in the meetings with the children's parents. During the meetings, parents focus on their child's progress and collaborate with teachers on ways to exte d the learning into the home.

Experiences outside the classroom are another facet of education that Kane believes in. Field trips to The Franklin Institute and The Academy of Natural Sci' ence offer the children opportunities to . study such exhibits as dinosaur remains. · Cooking lessons are enhanced with an adventure to Fair Hope Farms orchard.

Parents and teachers are not the only learning guides for children. Kane observes another means for instruction; that of the children sharing with each other about unique experiences. The older children have the opportunity to experi-

STATISTICS

The children participate in gym classes taught by student teachers along with exploring the outdoors with Biology students on nature walks. Working with the education department, Kane organizes demonstr ations for the edu cation classes using the children as models. The children learn new concepts while the college students are able to apply the theories that they've learned.

Kane feels that the exchange between the children and the Cabrini .students is essential to the development of both. Kane says, "I'd like to see even more involvement by the Cabrini College students."

According to Kane, the children are proud to be part of Cabrini and often refer to their school as "The Cabrini College 1 Children's School".

Grimley The number of sisters in the order and the work they can handle is The efforts of Saint Francesca Xavier Cabrini, patronness of Cabrini limited . ·Fortunately though, "they are few in numbers, but they're in College, and the Sisters of the Sacred Heart were initiated in Italy, but all the strategic places," said Sister Bernadette Casciano of the campus progressively spread world-wide. One hundred four years after the ministry department. foundation of the Sacred Heart order, the establishments handled by ·-One of the strongest characteristics, world-wide, of the Sisters of the the sisters are seen in 11countries and five continents.

Along with these qualities, the "reaching out to help people United States. realize their own dignity as children of God," was specified by Casciano. . Tuesday, November 13th, marked the feast day of Cab_rini. On this day, the many qualities and accomplishments of the beloved foundress Without a doubt, the loving impact of the sisters is clearly affirmed in of the missionary sisters were celebra~d. their evangelization through catechesis, the promotion of peace, the It began on November 10, 1880 in a Franciscan monastery which had promotiop of human integration, respect for life, social justice , and been abandoned for nearly seventy years.

Saint Francesca Cabrini love Christ and His children.

From this point on, Cabrini and the other sisters of the order worked with great enthusiasm and zeal. According to Sister Eileen Currie . president of Cabrini College, many of Francesca Cabrini's accomplishments were achieved through her "enterprizing nature and good business sense." Currie said that this "charism is as up to date and practical for today's society as in her time." · The. types of work that were established by Cabrini, and are continued today, are limitless . The sisters work in the fields of education, health care, child care, pastoral work, social work, and in other specialized fields.

One of the most fascinating features of the community which Cabrini initiated is its diversity of apostolate. Currie understands this diversity as being "the hallmark of the congregation." The order consists of women who are native to varied countries and who set roots in their respective areas.

Due to the smaller size of the order, the richness of the order can be fully experienced by the sisters. "We are able to get to know most of the sisters and enjoy their companionship despite the diversity of the order,"Currie_stated.

This evening, at 8 p.m., in the Widener Center Lecture Hall, psychic Valerie Morrison will be lecturing and answering questions pertaining to her ''highly sensitive intuition."

"Mom told me I was going to get into Cabrini after I applied," said Morrison's daughter, freshman Helen Morrison. Morrison commutes from her home in Roxbourgh, Pa., where Valerie Morrison has established a· successful career as a professional psychic. Helen Morrison became interested in Cabrini after taking theater classes at a young age with Daniele A. Perna, director of the theater. Perna is responsible for organizing Valerie Morrison's appearance at Cabrini .

According to Helen Morrison, her mother, Valerie Morrison, inherited her "highly sensitive intuition" most likely from her mother.

Unlike her daughter, Helen Morrison's grandmother does not wish to expose her psychic ability. Heleu Morrison attributes this to the-time period in which her grandmother lived, Helen Morrison feels people probably would not have excepted or understood her grandmother's psychic ability.

Morrison remarked that her mother was always aware of her sensitive intuition, but it was not until she (her mother) was in nursing school, and after meeting her husband, that she realized s~e could help people other than her family and close friends. Morrison's husband, who at first found it difficult to accept his wife's unique ability, later encouraged her in her career.

Morrison recalls her mother having premonitions about particular patients. According to Morrison, .her mother dealt with the situation ·by giving more attention to these patients in particular, and if some complication arose she would be prepared to meet them. Her intuitions were usually right, more often than not, according to Helen Morrison.

Today,Valerie Morrison is active in helping the doctors and patients at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia.

Valerie Morrison has been featured on radio talk shows, written newspaper columns, and has been sought by the secret service for heip.

Morrison has made numerous appearances on television station KYW's, "People Are Talking."

It is hard to sterotype the people who seek advice from Valerie Morrison. Businessmen, housewives, wives of politicans and famous personalities such as Olivia Newton John and Frank Sinatra are just a sample of the sort of people who have sought her advice.

"The reason mom is so successful is because she cares about people.

The people who come to her become not only her clients, but friends as well," Helen Morrison said. Valerie Morrison graduated from Roanoke College in Virginia with a degree in psychology.

Although Helen Morrison will agree that her mother is not the typical everyday "mom," she does feel her mother leads a rather ordinary life. Morrison says that her mother's idea of a fun evening is renting films and watching them on her V.C.R. When asked if there where any drawbacks to having a mother who is psychic, smiling, Helen Morrison said, "She knows when I am lying."

Skateboardsrollonto Cabrinipavements

by B.J. Petracci Skateboarding is a unique type of sport.

In the mid-70's it swept the nation and almost every kid either wanted or had their own skateboard. Like most fads that take off like wildfire though , it soon died down in popularity and the craze virtually stopped .

Last year, skateboards started reappering in the market, becoming popular once again. With this years freshman class came two male members who love their skateboards enough to bring them up to school with them.

'I'm only scared if I'm going down a steep hill with loose trucks.'

-Tim Fitzgerald, freshman Freshmen Greg Beck and Tim Fitzgerald were both happy when they came here and · found that they had a shared interest in skating.

this summer. I also use it to get to the ocean to go surfing. People sometimes look at me funny when I skate down the street , with my surfboard in my hand." Beck also finds skateboarding helpful in practicing for surfing , which is what he likes to do best.

Fitzgerald doesn't use his board as transportation. "In Havertown, Pa ., no one skates to get anywhere. We just skate for fun ."

Skateboarding can also be a dangerous sport . Fitzgerald has broken his arm twice in the last year. Beck has never been seriously injured, but does get banged up a lot. Both skateboarders admit to being scared when they skate. "I'm scared all the time ," Beck said . Fitzgerald , on the other hand, said , "I'm only scared if I'm going down a steep hill with loose trucks." ·Fitzgerald entered one competion when he was young , but has not entered anything lately . He had given up skating totally until last summer , when he started seeing skateboards becoming popular again . "When I saw them again , I just knew I had to have one again, " Fitzgerald said.

According to Beck, who lives at Cabrini East , he has had trouble finding a place to skate at East . ''I can't wait to live on campus , so I can skate all the t ime . It 's a real hassle bringing my board on the bus ," Beck said .

Fitzgerald , who resides in Council Hall, does not skate much around campus , because he has had trouble finding a place he likes 'to skate at here; sometimes though he can be seen skating with his girlfiend Leah Cascarina, freshman, whom he calls "Skateboard Betty. "

Practicing their fancy footwork! Tim Fitzgerald, freshman, does a "tic-tock" stunt as Greg Beck, freshman, (foreground) prepares for a "360" maneuver.

DiMeglioand Hinke announeed as-alI-stars

The two students , although they enjoy skateboarding together , are very different when it comes to their style and use of their boards.

"Beck is what I would call a freesty le skateboarder, " said Fitzgerald . "He 's really good, better than me. I'm harder on my board . In my neighborhood we judge the best skateborder by the guy who wears down his axle first."

Beck, who lives in Ocean City, N .J ., uses his board all the time as transportation . .

He said , "I rode my board to work every day

Mimi Greenwood , coach of the Cabrini women's field hockey team has announced that two of the teams members have been chosen to be part of the the NCA Division Ill All Star team.

Patty Hinke, and Lori DiMeglio, seniors , were picked to be among the division all stars by the coaches of the teams in the division .

Greenwood expressed her excitement over the selection and wished to stress how proud she was not only of Hinke and DiMeglio, but of the whole te·am .

Beck never competed, but said, "I always would have liked to." As far as the popularity of skateboarding goes, Beck said," Skateboarding went in and out of style, but I never left it. " Skateboarding can also become very expensive . A good board complete with Simms Deck, Tractor Trucks and Street Bone Wheels, according to Fitzgerald, can cost anywhere from $130 to $150; as long as you put it together yourself. Beck sai d, ''If you buy the be st board s alre ady assembled, it can cost you about $200."

Both skaters admit that they like to show-off just a bit and usually attract crowds when .,,they skate. Kathy ,Hasson, sophomore , said, "I felt stupid sOmding there watching , but they're both so good I couldn't help but stay and watch ."

We're·not as bad as we tendto think

by Robin Larkins, SGA President Last Saturday four members of the SGA .

Executive Board attended a planning meeting at St . Joseph's University for a regional student services personnel conference which is scheduled to be ·held in February .

Regional conference, I thought.. .Cabrini · College together with other "real" schools.

Suddenly I felt that we were small and insignificant. What could we possibly have in common and have to offer to schools such as St. Joseph's, Villanova University, the University of Pennsylvania, Tumple ...and the other colleges in the region that were invited. Well, we could always listen and try to learn a few things, I thought .

What we came to realize , however, is that we're not as bad and inadequate as we sometimes tend to think- even in comparison to larger "real" schools. Actually we're quite good and whether we recognize it or not we do have a lot to offer.

As it turns out, we were one of only three colleges in the whole region that attended this planning meeting ( along with Villanova and St. Joseph's) . Letters concerning the meeting were received late in the week, or not at all by some institutions . An interesting point to note: other colleges tend to also have communication problems- we are not mutually exclusive. ·During the course of the meeting, the opeortunity for interaction with the other

schools there along with the brainstorming sessions for the meeting, pointed out many similarities between the colleges present in governance, interaction, issues and leadership training. Here are some of the insights we gleaned from communicating with these student leaders from other area campuses: .

Burnout is the most common problem among campus leaders ... The same minority of people are involved in everything all of the time- not just here but at other colleges as well ...Recruiting people to get involved and retaining them within an organization is of paramount concern at many places ...Campus unity is definite problem .

The on-campus demand for housing is ! not unique to Cabrini alone . St Joseph's rents off-campus apartments to house its overload of resident applicants. In deciding who would move into these facilities a lottery was enforced where squatters rights were alleviated and a majority of residents on campus were d i splaced , according to the executive assistant to the president of St. Joseph's student government. (I thought we had problems.)

Parking is a growing concern on many campuses as is 'the concentrated effort to incorporate commuter students into the mainstream of campus life.

And of course , dealing with the Pennsyl- ;

a

vania alcohol laws in light of the crackdown in recent years is a constant concern on college campuses everywhere.

In addition to realizing these similarities, there were also points where Cabrini was ahead of other area schools in development (in our humble opinion, any. way...). The most noticeable circumstance being our functional alcohol policy. Where many schools are just beginning to deal with the problem and are trying to search for minute loopholes and lax exceptions to the law, Cabrini has dealt with the responsibility head on and has established a legally sound policy which reduces the college's liability considerably while at the same time allows responsible social drinking on campus, and has also been successfully in effect for about a year now.

Cabrini can cite numerous acclaimations of its policy ; the most recent shared with me by a faculty member of an area high school who was pleasantly surprised when our policy was referred to as a model policy by Arthur Schumann , former assistant district attorney for the city of Philadelphia, present speaker for Keystone on alcohol and the law in Pennsylvania .

Another area of strength which Cabrini seemed to exhibit was in the area of leadership training.

Most other schools boasted some sort ofleadership conference

or seminar and by comparing notes , Cabrini's matched right up with theirs . We could even offer suggestions as to different things to incorporate in their own train ing- such as utilization of the MyersBriggs indicator tests, which was a part of our own leadership conference.

And, believe it or not, we also appear to have an edge on communication with the students we represent . In no other school that we encountered was the campus newspaper utilized as a central gathering spot for information as the SGA does in the Loquitur through its weekly purchase of the space comprising the SGA page .

So, from our journey outside of the gates of Cabrini and into the "real" world of college education and student representation , we are not in our own little world of Cabriniland, completely shut out from the rest of civilization, as some may believe.

(The thought has even crossed my mind once or twice.) We are very much in tune with other area colleges and are addressing similar concerns in a similar fashion , encountering many of the same problems along the way. It's a nice and comforting thought to realize that we're not as bad as we sometimes tend to believe ...Actually we're quite good and we should be very proud of ourselves and our achievements on all levels of academic , athlet ic and social life . ·
