SCAInitiates Rite; Log To Be Lighted

Torchlight carolers will sing their way to the Yule log in Cabrini College's first Yule log ceremony on December 20 revealed Mary Granelli, SGA President.

Led by the seniors, who will each carry a lighted torch, the student body in academic dress will proceed from Sacred Heart Hall to the Administration Building.

This will follow the viewing of Grace Kelly's "High Society," and the annual holiday dinner prepared by chef Nick De Naro.

Continuing from the Administration Building, the caroling students will proceed to Grace Hall. In Our Lady's Courtyard, the Yule log prepared by the sophomores will be lighted by the SGA President.

JablonskiCollectionGrows, AdditionsHighlight'Gobelins'

Two new window decorations and a unique lantern have been added to the Jablonski Collection announced the administration recently, One window is ornamented in the typical Polish style with red striped drapes made in the Land of a Thousand Stripes: Lawicz, Poland. Between the drapes are white net or tulle curtains embroidered in Polish style stitching. This addition, as well as the

original collection, is the gift of Dr. & Mrs. Eugene Jablonski of New York City, benefactors of the college.

A recent letter to the college president from Mrs. Jablonski describes the originality of the Hungarian Gobelin tapestries in the European Room.

"Note the four birds among the colorful flowers, the various intricate designs in dominant shades of brilliant red, orange, blue and

Though originally used by the pagans at their winter festival in honor of the god of war, the Yule yellow. Nothing is repeated ; it is individual all over."

Viewers of the Mexican Room will now find a multicolor lantern added to the already colorful cultural display. This hand blown glass lamp is unique in a design of swirls and bubbles.

Housed in the northeast wing of the main floor of Grace Hall, the Jablonski Collection is the outcome of twenty years of world-wide travel.

Log ceremony has come down through the ages.

In Early England the largest log to be found was burned in a huge fireplace throughout the festivities of the Christmas Season. A portion of the log was always kept with which to start next year's fl.Te. It was believed that the ashes of the Yule log brought good luck upon the household for the coming year.

HonorGiven ToEducators

"A dinner in the Administration Building on Thursday, December 13, at 6 :00 p.m. officially closed the period of observation and student teaching for the year 1962," announced Mother Ursula, M.S.C., President of Cabrini College.

Superintendents, principals, cooperating teachers, and student teachers were honored by the school at this dinner.

Among the schools represented were the Radnor Senior High School, Radnor Junior High School, Rosemont School, Rowland School, as well as high schools and elementary schools in Norristown, Bridgeport and Chester, Pennsylvania.

Dorothy Watkinson, Helen Byrne, Mary Ann Wysocki and Mary McCullough make a "dolling find" in the European Room of the Jablonski Collection.

Carol And Creche DIRECTORY

In TheForum

At the invitation of LOQUITUR, two history majors, under the direction of Doctor David Burton, Department Chairman, voice their opinions on a current topic. Mary Granelli and Linda Acchione, both seniors, take opposing views on the power of the president of the United States.

Presidential Power LESS!

Communism has taught us a technique whose value we realize. An unorthodox ·idea must be presented slow1y and the people conditioned, or the force of it will be revolting.

Similarly, although not preplanned but under the guise of necessity, the powers of the president have grown slowly through many administrations.

There is, therefore, a difficulty involved in curtailing power which, although very real, has never been tangibly expressed in law. Nevertheless, the excessive power whi<:h the president possesses, if not cu1·tailed, at least should not be allowed to grow.

The executive branch of the United States is among the strongest in the free world.

Pope John XXIII, when consecrated Pope, said the period ahead is the period of greatest peril that mankind has ever faced.

Are we to let our future he dictated by one man's opinion? This is what we are condoning if oul' pl'esidency is alJowed to keep on gathering power.

It may be insisted that now, in our period of danger, we need strong, positive action. I agree, but I do not agree that this action can come only from a strong executive. In the recent Cuban crisis Congress agreed and voted that strong action be taken weeks before the president acted. The president did not act alone; he did not force Congress to so vote. Congress, when it foresaw danger, acted more swiftly than the president.

We must preserve the greatness of our country, which has been built on a workable system of government based on a balance of power. The presidency must not get any stronger 01· we may innocently vote in a president who will not stand for the principles we want our country to represent. Our fate must not stand in the hands of one man.

LINDA ACCHIONE

MORE!

More power for the president! All Amel'icans seem to react in somewhat- t-he~same-manner when an increase-in the- pow.er of_the _cbief exe.c.,u-tive is suggested. Many feel that the president of the United States is by far and large the most effective government in the world.

According to the philosophical study of man, all men have the desire to rule. Here in America that desire is exhibited in man's exercising his right to vote. In these times we find the president functioning as a well chosen leader.

Through the years each president has taken the power of the p1·esidency in stride. Very little increase has been seen in its written assertion; however, in comparison with nineteenth century presidents, those of the twentieth century appear to exercise greater power in more phases of our government.

We must never lose sight •Of the fact that the Constitution provides for a system of checks and balances so as not to allow the president to execute any authority that is not distinctly his.

Looking at this subject with an eye to past history, we find many instances where, had the president had more written authority to act in matters of national and international significance, events might have had an entirely different outcome.

The incident of the Versailles Peace Agreement folJowing World War I illustrates this. President Wilson, the Representative of the United States, spent considerable time and effort trying to arrive at a lasting peace which would profit the whole world and prevent any other large scale war.

Finally, when the peace with amendments was accepted by the European powers, Wilson returned home to find the treaty repeatedly unacceptable to the Senate.

It is not certain why the peace was not accepted. One point of view blames party politics for blocking the treaty; others feel it was sincerely rejected as improper for the United States.

But the point is that had the president had the authority to sign the peace, perhaps the distaste for the League of Nations in Europe because of our refusal to sign would not have developed.

Many feel the Second Wol'ld War might not have occurred had the League of Nations gained the full support of all countries.

So you can readily see that in some cases it would be beneficial to increase the power of the president, particularly on an international level. The pl'esident, under certain conditions, might well be able to function mo1·e advantageously if he were to possess the power to sign and make agreements on behalf of the United States.

Here it was that that great ,----------------------------. mystic of the Middle Ages, St. Francis of Assisi, made the first Christmas creche or crib and the b1·ethren of his community sang Christmas hymns in honol' of the birth of the Saviour of the world.

The origin of the carol and creche of St. Francis was not something that just happened for any or romantic reasons, but with a definite purpose in mind. Manichaeism, which had caused so much trouble in the Early Church, had never completely died out. Defeated in the fourth century chiefly through the efforts of St. Augustine of Hippo, the Manichaeans reappeared in Asia Minor under the name of Paulicians. In the tenth century they invaded Bulgaria, where they were known as the Bogomils. From the Balkan Peninsula we can follow them to the seaport towns on the Adriatic, and from there to Northern Italy, Spain, the Rhineland and Southern France. Their headquarters were at Toulouse in Languedoc.

A council held in 1165 at Albi failed to stop their propaganda; an attempt made by an army of crusaders commanded by Cardinal Henry, a former abbot of Clairvaux, proved equally fruitless. These new Manichaeans were called Albigensians or as they called themselves, the Cathari, the pure ones.

The doctrine of the Incarnation with its consequent observance of Christ's nativity could have no place in such a religion, and it was in order to combat this then so prevalent heresy that St. Francis cast about in his mind for some way of popularizing in the minds of the people a knowledge and true understanding of the meaning of the Incarnation.

A practical way of embodying his idea came to him when he was journeying from Rome in the year 1223 to stay over Christmastide at Grecio near. Assisi. Acco1·dingly, on his a1Tival at Grecio, having

CLUBCORRESPONDENT

BY CAROL CASHMAN

Meetings, posters, rehearsals, lectures, trips I could go on and on relating the everyday campus happenings; you know what I mean. Cabrini Campus always vibrates with some new idea, program, plan, or what have you. To put it simply, your paper Loquitu1· wants to inform you of all these activities.

It's my beat to cover clubs and their activities. Of course I'll try my best to keep on the track of the tremendous variety of news bits. But it's up to YOU, ardent club member, or YOU, eager club officer, to help me sift through the myriad of bulletin boards, 3 x 5 cards, posters and small talk ••• to find news. If you help, LOQUITUR should be able to keep taking the pulse of the campus. obtained permission, he had a manger, an ox, a donkey and all the trappings of a stable prepared in the church. St. Francis and his brethren arranged these things into a visible representation of the occurrences of the night at Bethlehem. It was a reproduction, so far as they knew how, in startling realistic detail of the surroundings of the First Christmas Night.

The population of the neighborhood rose as one man to the calJ of St. Francis. They gathered round the vil'age church with tapers and torches, making the December night bright with light.

The followers of St. Francis within the church, and the crowds of the faithful who came and went with their lights in and out of the darkness, poured out their hearts in praises to God; and the Friars sang new canticles, which were listened to with all the eagerness of a peop.le accustomed to wandering jongleurs and minstrels, and to whom such songs were all the food to be had for the intellect and imagination. This simple performance in a tiny Italian village was the origin not only of the Christmas carol but

With the holiday season coming on full foT.::e, the college campus suddenly swirled in a whirhvi.nd of activities. To put eveTyone in the mood, the Mendelian Society sponsored a Christmas Ball on December 7 at the ValJey Forge Hotel in Norristown. Students and faculty danced merrily to the music of the Sandmen.

Throughout the fall semester biology majors have frequently forstaken their microscopes to visit St. 'Luke's & Children's Medical Center, Philadelphia. The girls have been able to witness surgical procedure under the direction of Chief Surgeon James Giuffre, father of a Cabrini College student.

Not to be outdone, the freshmen biology classes traveled to Longwood Gardens, Kennett (Continued on page 4) also of the Christmas Mystery Plays.

The creche, crib, or presepio of St. Francis can be seen in all the Catholic churches at Christmastide to this day, while the singing of carnls still flourishes and tends to grow more popular as time goes on.

"She was a remarkable woman, a determined woman, one who knew what it was to keep values straight," stated the Rev. Louis DeSimone, Assistant Pastor of Saints Cosmas and Damian Church, Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.

"Of the 70,000 young men and women from abroad who come to the United States each year to study, a surprising number never gains an understanding of America and Americans," stated the Cabrini College delegate to a recent University People-toPeovle conference held at Harrisburg.

CamiJle Giuffre, senior and Sodality Prefect, who represented Cabrini at the capital meeting of over sixty-eight college, university and graduate schools in the state, reported the benefits of this new foreign student program to the Student Government Association.

University People-to-People is entirely under the direction of college students with the encouragement of the faculty and interested citizens. Initiated at Kansas University, the two year old program is now reaching the __ ...,_...cn,,,a""ti,.,,o:,,nal scene b.v means of state wide conferences of college representatives.

An English major and native of Penn Valley, Camille feels that such a program at this time is unnecessary at Cabrini. "The future, however, assumes an increase of the international student on our campus and it would then be a worthwhile and necessary organization," she stated.

People-to-People has created an exchange of ideas and opportunity for the individual. Backed by such citizens as Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Alfred Gruenther, and the President himself, the program works through international clubs on campus to meet the problems of

"Her spiritual life was of the utmost importance; yet, Mother Cabrini Jh·ed in the world and could not avoid facing its many problems. Consequently, she can help us by her intercession because she knows what we face," he said.

Cabrini students in academic attire that very morning had gathered in St. Joseph's Chapel to receive Holy Communion and ask their patroness to intercede for them. Rev. William J. O'Donnell, Pastor of St. Catherine's Church, Wayne, officiated at the service.

The children's choir of Saints Cosmas and Damian School, under the direction of Mother Timothy, M.S.C., sang in honor of the great missionary.

Before closing the evening conference with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, Father De Simone concluded his address to the residents and religious community present with remarks on the closeness of St. Cabrini to all at the college.

"We all feel 'down and out' occasionally, and we contemplate giving up. Mother Cabrini might have done this many times were it not for her real determination and courage in the face of many trials."

the international student.

According to the Cabrini delegate, "Americans fail to realize the loneliness of foreign students and the tremendous cultural adjustment with which they are confro ted."

Camille, wlio plans to go abroa in the future, stated that foreign students often find an indifferent, if not hostile environment, which causes them to form cliques with other internationals to build bitter attitudes towards the America they cannot comprehend.

Rick Barnes and Bill Dawson, both of Kansas University, explained at the capital conference that the People-to-People Progmm presents to the international student American life through industry, the farm and the home.

Kansas University has initiated a loan system to make funds available to start the program on college campuses.

"Seven Women of Christmas," a one-act play by Claudia Moboly-Nagy presented by The Cast and Script Society, will open the annual Christmas show at Cabrini College.

Sandra Wertheim, president of the society, announced that this year's Yuletide entertainment will be in the form of a three part pageant.

Freshman Bonnie Gordon, a veteran of the stage, captured the leading role in the main drama. Not only has Bonnie portrayed the role of Joan in James Caldwell High School's play of the year, "Joan of Lorraine," but she has appeared in the Festival of Performing Arts at McCarter Theater in Princeton, :\few Jersey, as well as summer stock in Matunuck, Rhode Island.

William Di Paolo, a senior at Villanova University, is acting as director for the drama club's first production of the year.

Others in the cast include seniors Camille Giuffre and Suellen Meyer, sophomore Ellen Holden, and freshmen Regina Rusinyak, and Mary Jane Woodruff.

On the lighter side of the PTOgram will be a poem, "Little Doll Sandra Wertheim Shop," written by Ruth L. Kocher and narrated by Mary Jane Wood- ruff, a newcomer to show business.

Living and studying abroad is a wonderful experience acc01·ding to the four members of the junior class of Cabrini College who are studying at the Institute for American Universities in France. Writing to Mother Ursula, M.S.C., President, the girls said that after spending a few days in Paris they went in a group to Aix-en-Provence.

Susan Coffey, a history major, points out that Aix is considered one of the cultural centers of Eu1·ope. It was an old Roman fortress and ha~ny rums from ancfont times still intact. Art appreciation is studied right on the spot in the form of numerous field trips. Susan's letter states in part:

"The language barrier is very frustrating and must be alleviated soon. It couldn't get worse, so there's only one direction left.

Gail and I are living together in a very comfortable chateau with three French girls. They are of invaluable assistance , with our assignments, but they can't seem to understand why anyone should want to take more than one shower a week. Peggy is right down the road from us, and Mary Ann is living in town. All in all, I think I can say we are content and happy here."

What thrilled Gail Noble, an English major, was the opportunity to attend Mass at the Cathedral of Notre Dame. She considers this one of the greatest experiences of her life. On the negative side, she feels that in two weeks she has been given enough work for a year.

"I shall never forget that I am representing Cabrini, and my only hope is that I can represent the college in the way it should be represented."

Pat has expressed hopes of soon seeing this as the largest association on campus and is at present working hard toward that end.

The recently written charter of the organization divides it into three sections: the Metropolitan, Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia Clubs.

According tJ- its leaders, the Pennsy and Philly divisions are now working ·on activities which they trust will materia1ize''in "the near future.

Since the Association is not only attempting to band its members together but also to p~epare them for an active r·on in the graduate division, President Slattery expects. all to show interest in their individual clubs. This jnterest should be manifested in the form of· attendance at meetings and support of inter-club activities.

The overwhelming praise of both parents and faculty for the club's entertainment during the Parents' Club meeting last month attests to the fine quality of the singing.

It Is Enough To Know

LouiseLikesCabrini ButHomeIs StillHome

"It's it's how do you say '?'' often repeats the new Canadian sophomore, desperately searching through a maze of French thought for the right Engl~sh word.

Yes, Louise LaSalle, Montreal's gift to Radnor, does find the language barrier a bit of a challenge; but she always manages to express the ideas behind her serious, penetrating eyes.

Evidently,_ Cabrini College took Louise by surprise, for she says: "I was amazed because they accepted me the way I was. They did not try to change me nor did they treat me as a foreigner."

Acquainted with the college through the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart in Santa Cabrini Hospital, Montreal, the new history major is favorably impressed with her first-hand contact.

"A professor I have, he is so intelligent. This I like very much," relates the smiling blond sophomore in exceptionally good English but with a distinct French flavor.

Intellectual achievement is important to Louise, who is accustomed to such an atmosphere at home. Future educational plans might indude studies in political science or philosophy.

LooY.ing at Americans in general, this Canadian-born student feels they are a bit too keyed up and do not give themselves a chance to relax and live at ease.

"The people of the United States want to know what is going to happen before it does," she remarked.

But study is not the only side of her personality, for her hobbies show a versatile individual. She joins many a Cabrini-ite in being a classical music lover as well as a

ski and tennis enthusiast, but not many colleges can boast a parachutist.

"Tres bien" and a flashing smile are a good expression of her comments on this rather odd sport.

American music is relaxing to Louise, next to the oldest in a family of nine; but she considers Johnny Mathis a "crier."

Daughter of an eminent Canadian physician, she shyly answered the question asking if she would like to live here permanently: Her expressive mouth formed the slow reply, "No , I don't think so I would find it rather difficult to adjust to your way of life because it is so different from mine." This was Louise's way of saying, "There's no place like home."
