The Sweetest Taboo! Self-study incites need for change by Joan C. Kramer The Commission on Higher Education recently awarded Cabrini College full accreditation based on Cabrini's 1985 ¡selfstudy report, making some recommendations for improvement. The areas of concern by the commission include the need for a formal means of long-range planning, the quality of the ratio of academic programs to the number offull-time faculty (which amounted to 38 in September) and the absence of minorities at any level in the college was carefully examined. Commission chairman Rose M. Channing, requested a report of Sister Eileen Currie, M.S.C., president of the college, by no later than April 1, 1987, addressing those issues and providing evidence that the structure and process of lengthy planning _arein place and working effectively. tie report must show evidence including the establishment of a model, structure and timetable for planning and coordination of curriculum and enrollment planning with fiscal planning on both a shortand long-term basis.
The planning over the years had been done by the ¡ budget. That is not the best thing down the road.' --Eileen Currie, college president In the Library Conference Room on Wednesday, Jan. 29, at 10:30 a.m. the first meeting of the Master Planning Committee took place.

'Members Only' providessocializing for older students by Maria O'Brien Drinking and driving is a hazard, even if you are of age, (21 in Pennsylvania). But where can people go for a casual drink without driving? The resident assistants (RA's) and Beverly Reilly, resident manager of the hou3es, thought of a solution: the creation of Members Only. Members Only is a club for persons who are 21 and older. "The club was created in order that the people who are 21 and older can have somewhere to go during the dinner hour to celebrate Fridays and they don't have to l!O off-camous." Reillv said.
Every other Friday from 5 p. m. to 9 p. m., the club meets in the basement of a selected house. There is cold beer, a special drink, food supplied by Seiler's Food Service, and music. "We had a trial party last semester and the response was good," Reilly said. There are not a lot of members now, but Reilly is hoping for a higher membership this sememster because more students are be,:oming legal. "It's not just for seniors," Vicki Leahy, senior, RA, said. The parties are open to anyone 21 or older including faculty and staff of the college. It is advertised to the campus and open to friends of people here

Membership is based on age and a $10 per semester fee. "The club is open to 21year-olds and over, so we don't have to keep an eye on who is drinking," Reilly said. The fee includes free admission to the biweekly Members Only get togethers, a membership I.D. and a bi-weekly newsletter. The I.D. is stamped and laminated. The newsletter .is written by a different RA each week and contains the date and menu for the next party. If someone prefers not to join, but would like to go, a $3 admission fee is required at the door. "It's fun because it's a way to wind down vo wee ." Leahv said.
Committee members included: Currie, Romano, Mary Ann Biller, academic dean; John Heiberger, vice-president for development and public relations; Christine Marie Baltas, M.S.C., dean of students; James Keches, business manager; John Dzik, director of admissions; Mike Caranfa, director of physical plant; three faculty members and students from the Student Government Association and Student Academic Council. The meeting highlighted the importance of communicating to the campus the recommendations to be addressed in the self-study report and the implementation of those proposals. It was mentioned by Edward Christ, assistant professor of business administration, that faculty members are sometimes kept in the dark on planning decisions and overall discussion by the committee. He said, "This can be resolved by distributing periodic newsletters to them." Clarification of the relationship between the responsibility for making decisions which would better the college's academic and administrative departments, and implementing those decisions must be evident in the report to the Commission on frrhPr F.rl 1 t.inn Arr rrlino- t.n
