Bookstoreprices upped; problems corrected by William A. Fulton Recent concerns regarding price discrepancies occurring in the Cabrini bookstore are being resolved, according to Jennifer Stevens bookstore manager. The discrepancies which involved prices for chorus sheet music as well as an English textbook, were the result of a miscalculation on the part of the bookstore. "It was my mistake," Stevens said. "Basically, it was a simple matter of a mathematical error." Clyde Laforest, junior, first noticed the price discrepancy in the price of the sheet music while he was working in the finearts department. During some rputine filing, Laforest came across an invoice which was intended for the bookstore, but apparently was inadvertently delivered to the Fine Arts
department. Upon studying the invoice, Laforest noticed that the suggested retail price listed on the invoice was lower than what the sheet music sold for in the bookstore. Laforest then approached Stevens about the discrepancies in price. In a recalculation of figures, Stevens discovered that there had been a miscalculation in the pricing of the sheet music. Once this error was noticed, Stevens met with Dr. Adeline Bethany, chorus moderator, and it was agreed that all students who purchased the sheet music at the incorrect price would be issued a refund for the amount that they were overcharged. A similar refund was also issued in an photo by Carin Pesotski

They are no strangers to the rumors of terrorism as on the last trip when there was a bomb scare at Frankfurt airport in Germany. Nothing ever came of that and Bethany said she is not afraid at all. "Terrorism is a terrible thing, but we have to try to go on with our lives," Bethany said.
"Hopefully the war will be over by the time we leave." Trish Lee, copresident of the chorus, echoed the sentiments of Bethany. "You can'tleadyourlife Dr. Adeline Bethany being afraid about what might happen," Lee said. "I am not afraid." Senior Karie Papay is determined not to
Sp..ecial interest housing to remain by Stephanie Ranieri
"To be ornot to be?" That is the question facing special interest housing and its planned return in the upcoming year. "I don't really think there should be a program for the next year. It is just a figure-head for a group of people to live together," Tim Janus, president of House Six, said. According to Dean of Students Dr. Robert Bonfiglio and the resident life staff there will be special interest housing on campus next year. What is special interest housing? "I don't know. I never heard of it," Megan Meaney, a sophomore commuter, said. "I think it has something to do with rooms for the handicapped,"
Michele Lynch, a sophomore commuter, said. "I'm not sure. !thought students got their housing through the lottery," Karen Falcone, a sophomore
'I am very hopeful that the special interest housing program will keep improving throughout the years to come.' Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, dean of students resident, said. According to Bonfiglio, the special interest housing program gives students the opportunity to
provide a structure to their living area. It also gives the students the opportunity to get involved in the learning process. For instance, there are three special interest houses on campus at the present time. The special interest project at House Seven is male relation~hips. They are trying to bring together the male population within the campus community as a whole. In a combined project, Houses Four and Six are making the effort to achieve an enviromentally practical atmosphere to live in. "I am very hopeful that the special interest housing program will keep improving throughout the years to come," Bonfiglio said. more SPECIAL on 3
let anything ruin what she feels will be a marvelous time. "I won't let this ruin it for me," said Papay. She is, however, concerned about the group as a whole. "When we went to Italy and Switzerland a year and a half ago they told us not to wear the shirts they gave us because we were more likely to be bombed as a group," Papay said. There have been no cancellations as of yet, but the group has until April to decide whether or not to back out of the trip. If they do, the group will receive a refund but will lose $125 per person.
