Arrest made in mansion burglary by Chris Pesotski
Three Oriental rugs, valued at over $40,000, and several pieces of furniture were stolen from the mansion lobby between 12:45 and 1:30 a.m. on Sat. Nov. 3. Joshua M. Goldberg, 22, a West Chester University student, was arrested and charged the next day with criminal attempt, theft by unlawful talcing, and receiving stolen property. He was arraigned the same day and released on ten percent of $2,000 bail. According to Cathy Caulfield, director of resident life, Goldberg had been the guest of a Cabrini student and was visiting a resident
of the mansion prior to the theft. Goldberg was apprehended when a Cabrini security official and several physical plant employees observed him loading the largest of the rugs into a pickup truck near the new · soccer field. He was taken into custody by Radnor Township patrolman Antonini after Sr. Eileen Currie, MSC, president, 'pressed charges. Detective William Zimmerman of the Radnor Township Police Department said it was his belief that Goldberg brought the rug to the soccer field after he removed it from the mansion early Saturday morning. "Obviously, given the size of the rug, he
probably had help,'' Zimmerman said. Zimmerman said he believed that Goldberg hid the rug on the field with the intention of recovering it safely at a later time. Two smaller rugs which were also stolen Saturday morning were recovered following an anonymous call to security officer Joe Lewis at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The caller told Lewis that the rugs could be found behind the gatehouse. Lewis recovered the rugs and replaced them in the mansion. Currie said the rugs have been in the mansion since she has been affiliated with the college. "They've been here a long time,•' Currie said. Currie felt that the theft
highlighted a need on the part of students to be more security conscious. ''The problem as I see it is that the student who lives here (in the mansion) did not exercise enough prudent control,'' Currie said. '' I do not believe that there was any malicious intent on the part of the Cabrini students involved, but it was careless and maybe stupid." "This is an educational institution, not NASA," Currie said. "Students should feel safe without feeling that their rights are being violated. They have a communal responsibility to make sure no one gets hurt."

Groups ·studystudent issues by Lisa Neuman
Focusing its attention on three important groups of people in the college community, this year's Enrollment Management Commit tee is busy addressing problems and looking for solutions to some of modern Cabrini's concerns. The committee, chaired by Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, dean of students, has broken itself down into three subcommittees intent on studying the experiences of three important groups: males,commuters and international students. As stated in a letter from Bonfiglio to the subcommittee chairpeople, the three groups are charged with meeting the following objectives:
inside perspectives ...... 2, 3 news ................ 4, 8, 9 features .......... 5, 6, 7 sports........ 10, 11, 12
- To assess the needs of each student group being investigated; - To assess the institution's -effectiveness in meeting those needs; • To identify the barriers which prevent meeting those needs; - To suggest ways in which to overcome those barriers; To determine the costs of overcoming the barriers; To prioritize the order in which the barriers should be addressed; - To articulate what th'e institution already does well in addressing those student needs. According to Bonfiglio, the purpose of the Enrollment Management Committee is "to monitor
the recruitment and retention efforts of the institution.'' It is his hope that the findings of the subcommittees will bring to light the needs of the students as well as the strategies needed to address those
needs.. "Once we recognize those things, then we can prioritize them, address them, figure out the cost to address them, acquire the resources to address them, and then do it,'' Bonfiglio said. ' Karen Berlant, director of public relations and chairperson of the subcommittee studying the male experience at Cabrini, said,"The Enrollment Management Commit
