A brief eight years after it was founded by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, Cabrini College, in June, 1965, was granted full accreditation ,by the Middle States Associati on. The evaluation of Cabrini College was carried ot1t first by its own faculty and officers in an intensive self-evaluation extending over a year and a half, and culminated in a report written for the review of an accrediting team selected by the Middle States Association. Thereafter, the team made its visit and conducted its amaz_ ingly thorough evaluation of the college in every aspect of its operations and activities. A second visit following a Progress Report resulted in the accreditation of Cabrini College only four years after it had conferred its first Bachelor's degree. The following were the members of the evaluation team: Mother M. Brendan, R.S.H.M., President, Marymount College, Tarrytown-on-Hudson, N.Y.; Jane D.. McCarrell, Professor of Biology and Chairman of the Department of Biology, Hood College, Frederick, Md.; Sister M. Cor Immaculatum, Bursar, Immaculata College, Immaculata, Penna.; Sister Hildegarde Marie, President, College of St. Elizabeth, Convent Station, N.J .; David J . Mullen, Director, Bureau of Teacher Education, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Penna.; Lynn Barlett, Assistant Professor of English, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.;: and L. Earl Griswold, Professor of Sociology and Anthropology, Western Maryland College, Westminster, Md. The organization is voluntary, benefiting its constituent mem·bers. Other, colleges in the organization will accept work completed at a sister institution as satisfactory for transfer credit or admission to a graduate school. As a member school, Cabrini receives these privileges and is accepted as an equal of other colleges in the Middle States Association as well as in all other Regional Associations.

POPE .PAUL VI
The Pope was invited to this country by the U.N. SecretaryGeneral U Thant. The purpose of his visit was to present to the U..N. the plea of his Church for world peace. At the United Nations the Pope sent his greetings and blessings to Americans. From the U.N. Pope Paul went to the Holy Family Catholic Church where he received leaders of the Protestant, Jewish, and Catholic Centers to the U.N. The Pontiff, with his entourage, proceeded by motorcade 19 Yankee Stadium where he celebrated the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for a crowd exceeding 90,000 per-Sons. After a tour of the Vatican Pavilion at the World's Fair, Pope Paul returned to Rome. Before the Pope departed from Rome, he spoke at the Fiumicino Airport of the imperative need for a lasting world peace. In recalling the horrors of the two World Wars of this century, the Pope said that the world must _ now demand a stable peace, "through fair and courageous negotiations." With peace as his sole aim, the Pope .came to this country to encourage and bless the nations of the world united in the struggle for everlasting peace.

o.hout it f DO SOMETHING. ~
Why did you choose Cabrini? Its campus? Its location? If these are your reasons, do you plan to give or to take?
Or haven't you thought about it at all? Cabrini College is not just a piece of land with a balf a dozen buildings. It is a way of life. What we do and the way we do it, in accordance with the guidance received at Cabrini, is Cabrini College. We attend an aca demically sound institution, but like us, she is finit e. Sh e can be improved only by us, the students; however, an apath etic attitude will not accomplish what we would like to see done. A new year is beginning. For some it will be their last year at Cabrini. There is a tendency to shrug off ideas among those who will not be back. For the sophomores and juniors, it is just another year - nothing new, nothing exciting. The freshmen, what about them? How will they react? We express this one desire to the freshmen and to all the transferees-do not be afraid to voice your opinion. Just because you are new to this "way of life" please do not feel that your views will go unheard or unconsidered. A few years ago Cabrini found one of her best leaders and builders in a girl who had been on campus six months. Politics and business are always begging for "new blood." The reason-new blood breeds new ideas. We plead for your help . We want to keep Cabrini on the successful road which those before us struggled to achieve Fresh ideas, however, cannot accomplish this alone. ·The enthusiasm of newcomers must be tempered with the familiarity and understanding of those who kno~ Cabrini. So, we also ask those who are returning to take an active interest in the growth of this young, but aspiring institution. Someday we will no longer be members of Cabrini, but our contributions and our errors will live for years to come. Do not be apathetic, care what Cabrini becomes.

sonnel who will help you attain professional growth. Formal training is also considered in helping a person develop. Accordingly, agencies have _planned training programs to this end consisting usually of lectures, outside courses, on he job training and, in some instances, higher education programs leading to a masters degree. Commonwealth e m p 1 ri y e e s command salaries comparable to any other type of employment . In addition, substantial increments are given annually, contingent upon the satisfactory performance of duties. Annual leave and paid holidays amount to 28 days . Fifteen days of sick leave are also granted annually. Generally, Commonwealth employees work five days a week, 71h hours a day. Usual hospital and medical deductions are made for participating members of these plans. State employees belong to a combined Social Se-: curity and State Employees Retirement Plan which ultimately provides a high retirement income according to your years of service age and salary.

Dear Freshmen, Your first year at Cabrini is the beginning of a new way of life which will be characterized by fresh hopes and changing goals which will be followed by future accomplishments . This is probably the first time that many of you have been away from home, and no matter how well you think you have adjusted to college life there are many hurdles left to overcome. Here at Cabrini the rules and regulations that you had while living at home are still evident, but the environment and stimulants have definitely changed. Attending college is not merely enduring years of book-learning; it is also four years of character development during which every young student struggles with himself to establish his own personal goals and ideals. At college, it is no longer the task Of the teacher to check your assignments and to be sure that you are keeping up with your courses. The responsibility has shifted, and the job has become yours; just as the satisfaction and the reward will ·be yours if you succeed in meeting this challenge. There is however, a lighter side to iife at Ca,brini. You will also feel the social impact of college in its parties, dances, and traditional ceremonies. There are teachers to be met and friends to be made--all of this to be found in the midst of your wonderful years filled with tears and laughter. To these horizons, the Student Government Association welcomes you. Publicly we wish to extend to you the best that your four years Of college can offer. Sincerely, Joyce Kozak

Davine spen& a year In Spain :rou mus& be aware el the differences between the educaiional s:rs1ems of Euro»e and America. Would you please &ell us a liWe aboui ii! M. You must understand that we were in a special situation, the professors realized we were American students and treated us accordingly. However in the classes I visited that were for the regular Spanish students, the professor wa'S completely set apart and had no contact with the students except to stand on the platform and lecture . He was literally on a pedestal and con_ sidered a semi-god. P. One of the things that impressed me was the students attitude toward education. To the Spanish student education is an honor and not a social obligation . The students' objections to the closing of the universities last March was quite a surprise to anyone used to the attitude of the American college student.

Careers InCivil Service One area of employment which has gained tremendous impetus in the last decade is state government service . Yet, comparatively few college, students know even the basic facts about their state government arrd the career opportunities in it . The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania em ploys over 80,000 persons, 50,000 of whom have civil servi ce status. These employees work in over 1,000 different classes of positions in many diverse fields . Social Welfare, Administration, Business Forestry, Agriculture, Education, Public Health and Highways are a few of the occupational areas of . your state government. Within the occupational structure the college graduate will find some 55 entry-level positions for which he can qualify according to his major course of study. Typically, you may find a career man building roads and bridges for social, economic and even military reasons. He may construct dams for purposes of flood control, recreation and water conservation. He may be in the field of social welfare working with the needy, children and youth, the blind, correction s, the mentally incapacited. You may see him in a laboratory determining causes of disease or inspecting a restaurant to insure safe eating places for the public. He may serve in Fore stry or in Agriculture helping timber owners and farmers find markets .. He may be determining the cause of plant or animal disease . Whatever his endeavor his purpose is to help fulfill ~ome basic need of citizenry. The opportunity to help your fellow citizen and at the same time develop professionally is outstanding. The Commonwealth reccgnizes that professional development is one of the major aspirations of ambitious young men and women. You will work with qualified, competent per-

Focus On Social Season; Mixer Previews Future
By Michele M. Martuscello Good evening students! I am coming to you from the grand stand of the Ardmore Women's Club . The occ asion is the firs t mixer of the social season of the 1965-66 school year. Wait a minute now. I hear people in the distance. Could it be the freshman class, the guests of honor . Yes, my ears were right. It is the freshmen. Oh friends, I wish you could see them . They all look so fresh and lovely. Some boys are now entering this exciting edifice. Yes, I said boys! Oh no, they are carrying instruments. What dismay has appeared on the freshman faces . It's now 9: 00 p,.m . Time has marched on bringing with it more boys, more girls, more girls, a few more boys more girls, a lot of girls, a co~ple of boys, and a stampede of girls. There is some consolation however. The boys, few as they may be, are well dressed-sporting blazers from the Big-V, LaSalle , P.M.C., U. of P ., and St. Joe's . However, I do notice one boy in _the crowd who is not wearing a ,blazer. He is none other than M.C . (Mister in Charge) . It is Dr. Arthur Delaney .

image is very poor and for a variety of reasons. Jealousy does have a lot to do with it, but there are some valid reasons too. The American tourist projects a bad image overseas mainly because of his conduct. The European is conservative as a rule and when he sees a man in a restaurant wearing bermuda shorts and a loud sports shirt accompanied by a woman in slacks, he considers these people baI1barians. Another thing is the way they flaunt the dollar, especially in Spain because the dollar can go so far,. For example, you can have your hair washed nd set for fifty cents. In many places the American is tolerated only because he, has the dollar. This is the Spaniards attitude towards the tourist. but with the student, it is different. They like students from any country and want to do anything to give him a good impression of Spain.

However, there are the exceptions, and it is from this group that the Spanish often draw unfavorable generalities. The emphasis the tourist's place on the worth of the American doBar in Spain has never won us any friends. It would take me too long to give you "valid reasons" other than the image some American tourists project. There are other reasons of course such as American Foreign Policy and the American Army Bases in Spain. However I don't feel that this is either the time or the place to go into all that. In any case anything I say along those lines would have to be qualified since beside spending a year in Spain I have also lived twenty years of my life in America. B. I believe that the American

The time is now 10: 00 p.m. and this place is jumping . Cokes are flowing freely, and everyone seems to be mixing-especially the girls. Still , there is no sign of the Senior class. Where could they be? Oh, I know friends . They are back at the dorm in deep concentrated preparations for the mixer. Leave it to them never to leave a blemish uncovered. They are truly example setters as I understand it. Did I say example setters? Look at them-all marching in en mass in madras skirts! Aren't they lovely? Wait a minute. There seems to be a pause in the crowd . Oh! It is only the boys rushing towards the seniors trying to find out their phone numbers to give to their older brothers. The clock strikes midnight. The band is now playing "The Party's Over .." Sir Frank Carre summons his flock . All the girls proceed onto the street where they begin to invade their blue pumpkin . Farewells are administered and all seems to be at rest-except for the post echoes Of each class and memories which will ring on and on and on and ...
