Prelate Breaks Ground; Sun Shines On Ceremony
With these words in mind we propose to state the reasons for our just objection to the "King of Prussia Spur" which is scheduled to be constructed on a portion of the campus of Cabrini College. It is, first of all, wasteful and unreasonable to contemplate destruction of the resources which Cabrini represents. All the time, effort and expense which has been spent to develop the college will have been wasted if the present highway proposal is enacted. And any expansion which the college might plan in the future will be eff ectively cramped - not only because of the very real limitation which the surrounding highway would impose on the educational function of the college, but because the expense and the scarcity of available land would preclude the possibility of physical expansion. Thus, the limited good which the "spur" would accomplish is disproportionate to the harm it would cause. This highway would not merely stop-gap a present source of educational and cultural resources, it would destroy potential resources for years to
As a hesitant sun broke through the overcast sky, a shovelful of dirt marked another advancement in the work of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart on Founders' Day, Friday, November 13. At 11 :00 A.M., after attendance at a solemn high Mass, in honor of St. Francis Cabrini, celebrated by Monsignor J. John Busco and sung by the Cabrini choir, the faculty and student body marched in procession to the site of the proposed building directly opposite Sacred Heart Hall for the ceremony. Father Martin Nolan, Master of Ceremonies, introduced the Reverend O'Donnell, pastor of St. Catherine of Sienna Church in Wayne, who gave the invocation.

come. And it must be admitted that the continuation of the education of young women as future teachers, career women, and family leaders of the community is more important than saving an incidental ten minutes of travel-time to motorists. Moreover, in order to emphasize the lack of necessity for this waste we must point out that the project in question is not an "either . . .or" solution. Feasibility studies of the State Highway Department indicate that other routes are under consideration; among them, a parallel-Expressway route which would cost approximately the same as the route through Cabrini and cause considerably less disruption of private property. As a productive member of society, Cabrini College has a right to justice and to retention of the fruits of her industry. We could not conscientiously deprive another of these natural and lawful rights. It would be unreasonable and unjust to deprive us of these same rights.

New Liturgy Includes Laity The Catholic Church is its people, not the architect's structure on the corner of Main and Elm Streets. So it is that the Mafs and sacraments are not mere symbols or mysterious rites performed in a language other than English, rather they are an open opportunity for personal contact with God and congregational activity as a unit. With this understanding of more intimacy with God through His sacraments, Pope Paul VI and other concerned heads of the Church have set in motion the Liturgical Constitution of Vatican Council II, December 4, 1963. Liturgical renewal includes the responses from the congregation to the priest's prayer and petitions to God. Since the Mass was originally offered in Greek, the langua.2:e most widely used two thousand years ago by Christ and His apostles, it is not improper or "sacriligious" to introduce English prayers into the daily sacrifice of English speakin _g peoples when it has been changed entirely from Greek to the present Latin. Changes, therefore, are not new in the church or in the Mass, but occur when necessary for the individual fulfillment of active participation. These changes are vital to the life of the Mass and to its participants whether in France, England , America, or any other geographical location where the Supreme Sacrifice is offered. The liturgical renewal is assured warm acceptance in the parishes neighboring Cabrini campus. The Rev. Jos . T. Kane of St. Anastasia's parish in Newtown Square has spoken with groups of parishoners encouraging active response to the new changes, as have other pastors in the area. At Cabrini College Father Groppi will instruct several representatives from each of the four classes in order that daily and Sunday Mass will offer more explicit understanding and communication for the Cabrini students. Parts of the Mass which will be offered in English: Introit: the priest and the people offer their respective private prayers of praise and petition, alternating with the priest after he utters, "Lord have mercy". Gloria: the priest begins, then the people join in. Collect: the priest gives the prayer after which the people answer "Amen". Credo: all recite the Creed. Secret: the priest offers the Secret and the congregation answers "Amen". Preface: the priest says the Preface after which the people say the Sanctus. Communion: The priest says "Corpus Christi" and each receiver says "Amen". Let us pray-that the liturgical renewals will accomplish the Council's purpose and encourage the people to make the Mass their sacrifice.

The performance of "Maria Candelaria" on Thursday evening, Nov. 5, was enjoyable because of the fine cast and the scenery. The setting of the film was the section of Mexico known as the Floating Gardens. The Gardens proved to be a somewhat watery setting for the moving story of love and hate. Dolores Del Rio was at her best as the beautiful Maria, a flower girl who is despised by the villagers because her mother was a woman of ill repute. The leading man was the famous Pedro Armendariz, portraying a peasant in love with Maria Candelaria. The characteristic evil patron and jealous girlfriend complicated life for the couple. They so incited the townspeople against the two lovers that Lorenzo Raphael, played by Armendariz, was forced to commit an act of thievery for which he is imprisoned. Maria was attacked by the townspeople after falsely being accused of posing for a scandalous portrait. The climax was unbelievable when Lorenzo peered out of his cell window and saw the entire torch-bearing village running after Maria. In his rush to help her he suddenly gathers superstrength and pushes down his cell door. But alas!, the women had almost completed their job of stoning her to death. Good acting did not make up for the ina equacy of sub-titles Therefore, much of the dialogue was understandable only to the Spanish speaking segment of the audience. Even they had difficulty because the film was so old the sound track was poor . There may have been members of the audience who better appreciated the dramatic value of "Maria Candelaria," but it is safe to venture to say that everyone equally enjoyed themselves, and either laughed or cried about the soap-opera plot .

A liberal arts education disciplines the intellect, enriches the individual and prepares one for life. Such a background enables one to become a more competent member of society and fosters the understanding of p:!ople and their cultures. Liberal arts studies concern a great tradition, yet the past is linked to the present, so the study is fruitful not sterile. One facet of such an education is history. MUST YOU TEACH?

conclusion that a major in history means teaching the subject. This could not be further from the truth; yet, teaching does offer creative and challenging opportunities. A graduate degree is preferred for secondary level teaching and required for college teaching. career Among the vari~d opportunities for history majors is that of museum work. A position as a museum curator often requires graduate work depending upon the type and scope of the museum. Historical researchers, another possibility for the social science major, are employed on all levels of government, ~Y research councils, magazines, archives , state historical societies, museums, colleges and universities and by large corporations . Historical research could be related to newspaper work, industry, or even speech writing. Although a master's degree is usually the minimum requirement for positions with an historical agency, many prefer to train their own employees and will accept a bachelors degree in history. HISTORY IN LIBRARY A career as a librarian is both rewarding and interesting . In public or special library work opportunities are numerous; graduate study is required, leading to a master of science in librarianship or even a doctorate. The legal field poses an invitation to some students of history. The legal historian may prepare briefs for court or become a specialized researcher in patent investigation . Some facets of law are very appropriate for women; post graduate study is required for law. ADVENTUROUS? The adventurous and those who readily adjust to different and difficult situations may prefer the foreign service,. An aptitude for language as well as resourcefulness are among the rigid demands. Diplomatic and consular positions require or prefer graduate study . Government positions are available on the federal, state and local levels as administrative officers, analysts or on the personnel staff.

Contest Suggestion Do you remember the Glamour contest held last March to select the best dressed girl on campus? Each class had selected four representatives with certain qualifications. The sixteen girls dressed in various outfits of their own and were viewed by their schoolmates. The winner was finally chosen by a special board which consisted of various members and unbiased students . Again this year the Loquitor is sponsoring the contest. Various suggestions have been made on how to improve our screening process. What should be the qualifications of the members of the board? Should the contestants be viewed over a longer perio<l of time in order to get a better idea of the girls daily style? We feel that you, the students, should have a voice in this. Anyone who has an idea for improvement, here's a chance to make your opinion heard by someone who can influence the contest's procedure. Tell your Loquitor editors or drop a note in the envelope on the bulletin board in Sacred Heart · Hall. We are waiting for your response.

Once Upon a Doll's House 3 Candidates Voice Views
Once upon a time, there was a huge estate with a great big house and a gre'at big stable . ~ut no people lived there. Until, one da~ a fairy godmother, M.S.C., decided to make rooms in the house and stable for girls to live. Poof! There it was-a great big castle and a great big stable, with a great big moat around it. Soon the word spread that 350 beautiful princesses lived in the Doll's House, so many prince charmings tried to see them. Since the drawbridge was open so infrequently, the princesses found it easier to travel the countryside in search of princes. Princess Patti let down her hair, climbed out of the tower and sped away to the kingdom of Jersey City. However, Eileen McCormick preferred meeting Kevin along the banks of Shady Lake. Poor Ann-Marie was confined to the tower until Vinny could break the mountain lion spell.

Harcumia (see Gaye Mendres) was jealous of the princesses who lived in the Doll's House and often caused things to go
wrong. One day, Bruce couldn't come into the kingdom to see Zelda unless he said the magic words - "Philadelphia 'l'extile." And then, every time Arlene Schaefer got on the phone with Roy, the next one would ring for her, too-someone from Villanova. The worst thing that Harcumia ever did, however, was to appear in the form of Joan Buzzallino and spoil evecybody's parties. Thank heavens she didn't spoil Ellen McGinity's week-end in Notre Dame! Sometimes Harcumia wasn't to blame for chaos

PAT ROSALIA "Sing on, Pat, sing on." Regardless of how when or where you encounter the President of the Glee Club , notes will always .be emitting. Pat is unusually happy at all times and her melodious "hello" is quite often followed by one of her original quips . Pat defies the traditional portrayal of a conservative English major . Wit person ified , Pat awaits the publishing of her new review, The AnthOl.ogy of Puns. Beneath her sparkling, ·bombastic personality, re sides a dedicated student. Her unlimited imagination and expressive manner allure and amaze her listeners. Since the moment of her arrival at Cabrini, Pat has strived to make the Glee Club the most notable and no ticeable organization on campus. Miss Rosalia 's arden t in ter est in music did not originate at Cabrini. Her high school years were spent in academic ac h ievement and musical pursuits . Loved by t hose wh o k now her and admired by those who witness her .abilities, Pat's last year at Cabrini will terminate a college life filled with dedication, unselfishness and outstanding spirit. It's been both a pleasure and an experience knowing you, Pat! The editors a.nd staff of the LOQUITUR wish to apologize to Jackie Antonio omitting for inadvertantly her name from the dean's list published in the last issue.
Cabrini At Dougherty; College Life Examined Dr . Joseph Feighan, Carol Ca shman, and Marie Mealing represented Cabrini College at College Night sponsored by Cardinal Dougherty High School recently . The function of the evenings program was to acquaint high school upperclassmen with the courses and opportunities available at institutions of higher learning . Over fifty different colleges filled the classrooms at Dougherty, the world's largest coeducational Catholic high school. Interested students and their parents viewed a collection of slides from the Radnor campus. View books, application forms, and copies of the Loquitur were distributed. The Cabrini delegates stressed the importance of our small liberal arts college with its unusually close student-faculty relationship . The small classes allow the student almost unlim_ ited availability of the language laboratory and the use of thousands of dollars worth of electronic equipment in the science laboratory. Also discussed were the variety of clubs and activities on campus which encourage leadership and group effort. A similar project was held by Archbishop Prendergast High School where Audrey McGinn joined Dr. Feighan, Carol, and Marie in promoting Cabrini's educational program.
