" will sing the members of the class of 1964 for the last time as students on Commencement Day, Sunday, May 31, 1964. Broth~r Daniel Bernian, F.S.C., Ph.D., LL.D., President of La Salle College, will address the graduation audience in the three o'clock exercises scheduled to be held on the Main Lawn of the Cabrini campus .

Ann Reilly Wins Car; KayGrie ·ve~ P.-R.R.
As a hush fell over Sacred Heart Auditorium, Reverend Ugo Groppi dug into the mound of chances on the Oldsmobile F-85 and produced a winner-Ann Reilly. Ann, a New Yorker, was not in the audience, but her sister, Kay Reilly '66, excitedly approached the front of the auditorium to accept the ownership papers from Mr. John .J. Vaul. This marked the culmination of the 19,64 Library Drive. "This year the Parents Club is greatly pleased to present Mother Ursula with ~ check for eight thousand dollars," President Vaul announced. He then thanked parents students and friends who <:ontributed to the successful campaign. Father Groppi was in charge of the campus selU.ng; able assistance came from Nancy Battaglia '66. The winning Reilly family recently purchased a new car for their older daughter, Ann, so Cabrini's Kay will become the possessor of this '64 Olds. Her reaction upon winning would have brought grief to the P.R.R. "No more taking the train home," she exclaimed.
ities. Reverend Louis Rongione, O.A.S ., Ped D., of Villanova University, wlll deliver the invocation. The . graduating seniors will receive their academic hoods at the Baccalaureate Mass at ten thirty o'clock Sunday morning celebrated by ~he Reverend Ugo Groppi, M.A., _J .C.D ., Chaplain . Twelve o'clock brunch is planned for the graduates and their parents following Mass in St. Joseph Chapel. Maestro Carl Suppa will direct the Cabrini College Choir for th e morning functions and the College Glee Club for the afternoon commencement exercises. Bachelor of Arts degree candidates will be presented to Monsignor Guilfoyle by Dr. RQse B . Green, Chairman , of the English department and Faculty Marshall at Commencement. Dr. Joseph Feighan, Chairman of the Chemistry department, and Dr. Fred Petrone, Education department head, will present Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Science in Education ca1:didates respectively. Father Groppi, Grand Marshall , will direct the academic procession; Patricia Boyle, Student Goverment Association President , and Marie Mealing PresidentElect, will marshall the graduates and undergraduates respectively .
Wheel Of Luck
Mother Ursula thanks Mr. John Vaul for his management of "the Library Fund Drive as Kay Reilly sits behind the wheel of her new Olds. Kay is a member of the sophomore class, which obtained the second highest percentage in the campus campaign. Leaders in the drive were the freshmen who amassed 204% in returns. Along with the sophomores (202%), they gained a free day May 11.

Following two tension-filled days of speeches, debates, and question and answer sessions, Marie Mealing, outgoing President of the Class of '65, emerged the victor in the contest for Presidency of the S.G.A. Her opponent, Kay Fogarty, is the -new Vice-President.
Marie has held office in the S.G.A. since her freshman year when she served as class vicepresident. Sophomore year found her as class president, and she re-elected to was unanimously this position in the past year . Tradition has been broken,
-------------since Marie is the first day student ever elected to the presidency. Kay Fogarty also holds a record of competent service. She was sophomore resident representative and recently completed her term as executive secretary of S.G,A. Asked aoout possible conflicts arising between the one-time opponents, Marie said: "Definitely not - Kay and I have worked harmoniously together in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Our basic poli"Cies are similar though not exactly alike, since they more or less compliment each other."
'Can Be Proud,'Says Team "Cabrini College has made an excellent beginning. All associated with it can ·be proud of its progress during the past seven years," commented the Evaluating Committee of the Middle States Association which visited the campus last March. The eight member team, which included two college presidents and Pennsylvania's Teacher Education Bureau Director, pointed out that, despite its youth, Cabrini's seeking evaluation with a view to obtaining accreditation indicates clearly the seriousness of purpose and the energy that has characterized the foundation of the college. GENEROSITY OF SISTERS Primarily, the generosity of the religious congregation of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in providing the physical facilities, financial backing for vails throughout the whole college the foundation and operation community." of Cabrini College, impressed , Course offerings in biology, the team. Evaluating Committee members were also impressed by the care with which the ·tasic documents of the college had been formulated; the extent to which the physical plant and functional library have been developed; the enthusi manifested by the faculty, students and all others associated with the college; and the leadership of the president whose sense of purpose and driving force are evident in every phase of the college's operations. FRIENDLINESS PREVAILS After the three day visit, the guest . educators concluded that morale is very good among the faculty. "The -Committee got the impression they are devoted to the college, to the president, to their respective department, and to their students, and that a spirit of good will and friendliness pre-

New Chairman Explains SAC Re-activation and coordination of club activities have priority on the agenda of the new Student Activities Chairman. Carol Cashman, third student to hold this comparatively new campus post, explained that the role of SAC is "to help clubs develop themselves and to provide opportunities for Cabrini's organizations to unite in programs with similar groups on local campuses." The former junior class vicepresident also held the position of class secretary during her 路 freshman and sophomore years. "Clubs would be responsible for at least two school-wide programs each year," she said. The Chairman-elect continued to explain that she didn't feel this would be too demanding for actively functioning organizations such as the Biology and the Glee Clubs and might prove a stimulus to the less efficient campus groups. Already plans are being formulated for club participation in a Freshman Orientation program for next semester . "It is necessary to acquaint the incoming freshman with the opportunities available through club participation .. September is the time to stimulate these prospective 路 members by thoroughly acquainting them with the purposes of each club."
- ------------Carol, presently co-editor of LQQUITUR, plans to hold monthly meetings with the club presidents. "Onw by frequent meetings can I be constantly aware of the clubs' problems and needs. This way I can actively represent them in S.G.A." The new Chairman has already appointed a Public Relations Board (to work in conjunction with club secretaries in sending news releases concerning campus events to local newspapers.) This , she feels, is essential "to project the Cabrini image ." Additional plans call for the reorganization of S.A.C. bulletin board. (Reporter's Note: It is evident that LOQUITUR paraphernalia ,will have to be removed from th.e S.A.C. office as Carol plans to relocate th.e S.A.C . center of operations to th.e first floor office.)

In keeping with a spirit felt throughout the wOII'ld, Cabrini participated in functions honoring the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare's birth. The Literary Club saluted the Bard by featuring John Edwards, WFLN radio personality, who delighted a full audience in Cabrini's lecture hall on April 21 with readings from well-known Shakespearean plays, Included were passages from Richard II, King Lear, and The Merchant of Venice as well ·as a scence from Macbeth in which Kay Fogarty participated in the role of Lady Macbeth. Mr Edwards, an associate of Plays and Players of Philadelphia for twenty years, drew thunderous applause with his interpretation of Falstaff from "The Merry Wives of Windsor." Following his readings Mr. Edwards, who has just completed a role in Richard III, joined the audience for an 'informal discussion in the cafeteria. "Students would derive much more benefit from the Shakespearean plays if they could enact the parts," he said.
Socializing in the cafeteria with theatrical, radio and TV personality John Edwards are Dr. Rose B. Green, Chairman of the EngUsh Department and Literary Club members Denise Hodgins and Joa.rine Colace. Speaking about Ms ow.n theatrical experiences, the WCAU radio and television announcer said that he is not bothered by unfavorable comment from critics. He sees great dignity in the character of King Lear and would like to play that tragic hero.
Responding to a question about Sir John Gielgud's current production of Ha>mlet with actors dressed in rehearsal clothes, Mr. Edwards remarked that he would like to see the play even though he would not interpret it in the same manner.

WeAre Grateful Name Change The Senior Class of 1964 would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Mother Ursula and to the faculty. We are grateful to Mother Ursula for her guidance in our beginnings at Cabrini, for her encouragement in the years that followed, and for her patience and advice concerning our future. Mother has been more than receptive , more than kind ; she has always been a friend in the truest sense of the word. We are grateful to the faculty for their tireless spirit of helpfulness, for their understanding, regardless of our youthful perplexities, and for being available when we needed them. Throughout our four years at Cabrini, both you, Mother, and the faculty have been a tremendous help. Though we look forward to graduation with anticipation, there will always be a part of us that looks back and thinks of you at Cabrini "without whom it could not have been possible"-a hackneyed expression but full of sincerity. God bless you!
ForumAnd Voi,ce A recent student demonstration has again brought into focus the proverbial problem of criticizing one's elders--in this case, the student criticizing his college. Effective communication and understanding are vitally necessary before problems can be solved. It is only the apathetic student who is indifferent to every decision. Muttered complaints yield negligible results, but an intelligent reaction is respected. Dormitory griping, underground campaigns, defiance, and disorganized demonstrations are not the answer. · Every college and university has channels for student opinions. The Student Government Association is the forum ; tne campus newspaper is the voice. It is vital to aU progress and harmony on the campus that these channels operate and retain the ability to operate. Effective criticism calls for a logical presentation without undue sarcasm. A vigilant administration will always recognize the significance of intelligent student suggestions as a reflection of an alert student body. After all, administration and student body share the aim of a college education--ereating an intellectual awareness on the part of the student.
Anachronistic Hero?
Why is it that the elected officers of our student government are called the S.G.A.? The initials stand for the Studen.t Government Association. In the ~.E.A., (National Edµcation Association) and the A.M.A., (American Medical Association), together with countless other associations, there are thousands of members who consider themselves part of the associations even though they hold no office. The elected representatives in these associations are usually designated by another name council or eXecutive committee, for example. Perhaps it is only a small matter, the changing O:f which would make little difference; but there ii; a possibility a change in designation would assist a chimge in outlook. If everyone on cam,pus thought of herself as a member of the SGA , new paths of communication might be opened.
MacArthur was a warrior hero in an era when war could still elicit heroism in men. He had a code of conduct which our age might term narrow, even naive; that code was simply: Duty, honor, country. He was a professional soldier: victory was his only goal; yet we often have to settle for less than victory. So MacArthur would seem to be an anachronistic hero to propose for the present generation. It may be, however, that MacArthur's kind of heroism is not totally incongruous for our situation . Life as a responsible American is certainly not as neatly packageable as the simple phrase, "duty, honor, country"; but MacArthur's life did exemplify the simple qualities of fidelity and courage which are still serviceable today. His entire adult life was spent in the service of his county during some of the most critical periods in our history. He knew defeat and vktory in this long life of service, but he remained always a man of principle. And he reminds us, as President Johnson said of him, "that the enduring strength of America rests on its capacity for integrity and loyalty; honor and duty."

A JOURNEY
WeGetLetters! To the Editors: I have wanted to write to you for a long time, but I couldn't. I have read your issues with interest; that is, the ones I have been able t o get a hold of . But I missed ou t on all of your first semester issues, except one. (I read it with interest .) In the second semester I missed your January, April, and May issues. Could you please mail them to me? I stopped getting the Main Line Times and the Suburban Times because I enjoyed your newspaper so much. I have finished reading your Marc h issue. Please send me th e others . Sincerely yours , WILLS . Dear Editors, Noticing the faint ballpoint scr-ibble on pale pink paper on the smoker doors, I decided to read it. This "poster" infonned me that Kay Fogarty and Marie Mealing, candidates for presidency of s.G.A., were to present their platfonn in the lecture hall at 12:10. This meant that as an interested freshman I either had to eat my Iuneh tn ten minutes or skip it altogether.
Arriving at the place appointed, I managed to have my . choice of seats at 12:15. In. a lecture hall filled to a cap~city . of about 90 people, the ~udience heard K~y and ~arie,. ~th v~ry pohtel.Y, voice smular ~ews stressmg th~ need for mtercollegiate relations. The foll•wing day, via a sim- . Har pink paper, I was informed of an open question and answer session to be directed to the candidates. Th~ questions, drawn from the predominantly Junior were followed by audience, opinions from the freshmen. Informal sessions were held in the afternoon and again after dinner, but each occasion saw only a handful of interested sutdents. After Thursday's voting, it was announced to the approximately 120 present that Marie Mealing is the new President of the S.G.A. Where was the whole student body when the result was announced and new nominations taken for Vice-President? It appears that there are many who talk about Cabrini and come up with many good ideas; others want to do something but don't • know where to start; still others
1961-Freshmen How young we were, Filled with awe, wonderment, anticipation, We bade Mom and Dad good-bye. Grace Hall, our new home. ' We had roommates; Sfie, an early riser, I, a late sleeper. Compromises yielded understanding. We wrote fast and furious letters, And eagerly awaited familiar postmarks. Blind dates, TGIF, much laughter, It was an exciting journey! 1962-Sophomores After a summer at the shore Grace Hall welcomed us again. Majors were chosen, Study intensified. We hazed the freshmen, Our temporary maids. Wise fools were we, Enjoying our foolishness. Senior Farewell, dinner "permissions" V for Villanova , the parade in New York. Now we had tw o years of memories. It was st ill an exciting journey! 1963-Juniors We were in the middle of the road, And beginning downhill. Our mansion-the Main Building, How different, quiet-no water fights. We had little "sisters" and we asked, "Were we ever that young looking?" It was a year of maturity, We began to look ahead. The Met Club dance, Ring Cerentony, Junior Weekend, midnight visitors, One year left, resolutions to do well. Yes, it was yet an exciting journey.

Douglas MacArthur was for many Americans a legendary figure; they shared a great historical adventure with him and knew him as an American hero. Yet in our generation's changed ideological climate and mood, Douglas MacArthur's life and principles seem to have little significance.

start and give up. So where does Cabrini stand back in the woods - because of a lack of organized interest among students. What about the cam,paign promises of intercollegiate relations? These will succeed only if the S.G.A. and the S.A.C. work together with the full support and interest of the student body. I hope I have pointed out the lack of interest on this campus.

WeQuestion We were amazed recently when one . university press was used to air the linen of a neighboring institution. The question of the cleanliness of the linen was not what most concerned us. We question the role of the "crusading" student press to set itself up as a judge of another institution, even if it be under the guise of objective news analysis.

'I Disagree' Dear Editors; I don't see how the remarks of the Univ. of Pennsylvania Political Science professor, who was quoted in the Dymphna column of your last issue as saying that we students don't care about helping others, are applicable to college life. And I disagree with th"e comments which Dymphna made about our having to be selfish In college. I would like to know how a college student could really function if students didn't care about others and were Involved In being selfish. How could activities be carried through and ho"; could any unifying c,,llege spirit be maintained if we were all selfish entities absorbed in helping ourselves? Meeting people and exchanging Ideas, giving and taking are the advantages of educating ourselves at a college instead of on our own . . Enough of this theme of selfishness in college - it has gone too far already. Our main pur· pose in college is to gain knowledge. Getting to know and understand others around us with different backgrounds and culture broadens our outlook, widens our experience, and gives us an insight and knowledge of ourselves. "It Is in giving that we receive." Charity is what we need more of. Dymphna mentions the pres· ent atmosphere of skepticism on college campu;es and wants to know who created it. I'd like to know what we're doing to dis· pel it? Talking to others, participating in clubs, airing our views in open discussion, might some of help to "unskepticise" us. Anyway why not benefit from the different people on campus, since we're here to learn? Kathy Adams

Oy .mphna Replies Dear Kathy, But to gain know~dge we must be selfish. Others are the ones through which knowledge Is communicated to us. We are the ones who must take selflsh time and selfish searching to examine that knowledge before ~king it ours. We will be educating and influencing others, directly or in· directly. Yet many of us leave here without having reached a basic understanding of ourre~lizing selves and without tha.t knowledge of oneself is where knowledge begins. Tied up to knowledge of oneself is a personal meaning to life. Tied up with a personal meaning to life is time and thought here's where we do the giving and receiving. I agree that "It is in giving that we receive" - in ·giving to ou,selveJ'. OharitY begins 11\11 homie base.

Sports Profiles
Toni and Sandy
BY KAREN ADLER
BY MARGARET WHITEHEAD
Since the basketball season has drawn to a close it seems fitting to profile the two senior co-captains of the team.' Vivacious, brown-eyed Toni Weber is president of the A.A. and h~ been an avid sports enthusiast throughout her four years at Cabrini. Her extracurricular activities are numerous and include reading, knitting, playing cards, swimming skiing, horseback riding and "spending money just as long as it isn't my own!" ' Toni's future plans include marriage; however, teaching second grade is her proximate concern. The other senior member of the varsity is vibrant, blond-haired Sandy Wertheim. She is a member of the .Drama Club and is interested in professional ice-skating, tennis, swimming sun-bathing ' (natch!) arrd singing. With a major in elementary education and a minor in psychology, Sandy is looking forward to securing a position as a teacher in New York City. Both girls agree that their four years at Cabrini have been very enjoyable and . that they have profited greatly from faculty and courses of a high caliber. As far as basketball is concerned, they both feel that the team did wel_l ~is year considering ;he size of the student body. They are very op,hm1st1c about next years prospects. As Toni says "With a promising hot-shot like Ro Bimbo, look out Rosemont!" ' Since this ils U1e seniors' month, it seems only proper to close this column with senior praise. The class of '64 has captured another intramural wreath - this time in Line-Volleyball. Congratulations go out to Terry, Gail, Toni, Kathy, Sandy, and Sara who clinched all interclaJss sports' titles. ' You've done it again . . yep! the Senior's have ca,ptured another intramural crown . .. this time in basketball.
SEASON ROUND - UP Basketball standings at the end of ithe season ... Varsity won 6, lost 4 - - J.V . won 2, loot 4. This season has been a good one, but I hope that next year there will be even more interest and particiip •ation. To all those unfortunate people who missed out on the A.A. display on S.G.A . day , let me say your education in the field of sports has been sadly neglected. The girls went to much trouble re-enacting a m~ni~ture basketball game and setting up charts on different sports. Tom wishes to thank all who contributed in any way to make the A .A. project a success.
