Dr. Fillinger made it evident that he did not wish to stimulate us for one day, but to impress upon us that something must be done to eliminate bad laws and the violations of good laws and we as future leaders are the ones who must do it. Together with his visual aides, Dr . Fillinger launched unpleasant but realistic situations and facts into our minds. He pointed out that 2/3 of the people found dead have evidence of alcohol in their blood. The overindulgence of alcohol is n ot the cause of death, rather, the poisoning which results from the overindulgence is the immediate cause. Alcoholics who grow tired of liquor often resort to consuming cleaning solvent which is itself poisonous in nature. Glue sniffers and LSD users all take the chance of undergoing irreversable brain changes and bizarre psychiatric changes. These changes do not necessarily occur after repeated use; several cases have been persons who were trying it for the first time. Dr. Fillinger also mentioned narcotics. Death from narcotics, like alcohol, is not due to an overdose. The death is due to a hypersensivity to the quinine or other foreign matter placed in the dope by its pushers. Drug addiction in Philadelphia has become so serious that Dr. Fillinger made the following statement. "Any Negro male bettween the ages of 15 and 50 found dead in a public restroom is automatically classified a narcotic death until proved otherwise." The rate of suicide from poisoning, overdose of barbituates, hanging, shooting, and suffocation is the second highest in the high school and college age group. Most students die prematu, ·ely as a result of accident but suicide follows as a main cause of death. Reasons for suicide include love, homosexual triangles, disappointments, and (Continue d on Pa ge 4)
Maloff Discusses Contemporary Literature Cabrini became an active part of WFL N's Ra lph Collier Show in an interview of critic an d novelist Saul Maloff, Tuesday, November 19. In the panel interview Kathy Gavin, Ronnie Miller, and Marie Vacarelli joined Mr. Collier in his questioning of Mr. Maloff's views on the make-up of our contemperory American literary scene. Mr . Maloff's standpoint was further explored by several questions from those present at the lecture-interview sponsored by the English department. The p rogram was under the supervision of Dr. Green, Department chairman, and managed by Susan Durling, senior English major. Mr . Maloff brought up sev eral issues in reference to the question of how much the per sonal views of the critic and writer are dictated by the active viewpoints of social norms. A writer for example, when setting up a reflective social idea in his work, does not necessarily want to point out a universal situation, but one that does exist in some areas of life. He used his own boo k Happ y F amilie s

The Christmas Spirit is coming in many forms to Cabrini as two weeks of Christmas programs make their entrance before final exams. Tonight, the annual Student-Faculty Christmas Dinner will be held. After the dinner, the faculty's children will pick their favorite decorated Christmas tree .

as an example in which he expressed a breakup in th e A merican family structure in some areas as a situation which he does not fee l as a prevalent one throughout America. As to a critic in the situation of society's influence, Mr. Maloff said one does· · not entirely view a book without a certain criteria of consideration in this area. Certain attitudes are persistant in society, and society as the media for literary success must be considered. Many books accepted in the 1960's, for instance would have been banned at the turn of the century. The author's viewpoint must be valid in its social standpoint as well as possessing valid artistic qualifications. These ideas com prise the·criteria of a critic, and a successful critic can't let his criticism be overshadowed by his personal prejudices. Mr. Maloff viewed Vietnam literature as a sometimes victim of govermental ideals. A writer is held back in some areas if his stand discredits his country. In the general area of books written for history, Mr . Maloff stated that the "prejudiced viewpoint gives us the best medium for our view of certain controversial historical situ ations." With these and other complicated aspects comprising the current literary scene, Mr. Maloff could see no ideal background or education that can be given as a guarantee to a student entering the cr·eative (Continued on Page 3)
Each class, as part of Cab r ini tradition, has entered a tree to the competition. "Advent Angels" again returned to all four dorms and the Day Hop lockers. Each stu dent, as well as the sisters in each dorm, has an "Advent Angel" who leaves her small presents or does something nice for her every day . In turn, each girl is also an "Advent Angel" to someone else. "Advent Angels" will exchange gifts and make their identities known tonight before the Christmas Dinner. After the Dinner, the drawing will be held for the S.G .A.'s trip to Bermuda . The Christmas Dance was held on Friday, December 6 at the Downingtown Inn from 9 :30
Library Willed Sum Miss Jane Vink, head Librarian at Cabrini fram 1963 to 1966 bequeathed ~200 of he_r estate to the Cabrini library °it was learned when her will was read earlier this month. Miss Vink died in late October after a long illness. Mrs. Gough reported that since Miss Vink was an English major in college and particularly enjoyed helping students do reference work in the library, it would be a fitting tribute for the library to use the money to buy reference books in Miss Vink's particular sub ject field, English. Other books not so specifically aligned to English majors are also being ordered as part of the gift.

Father Rudy dressed as Santa for the little girls from St. Donato's and St. Mary's Home for Retarded Children. The Glee Club put on its Christmas concert in the chapel last night under the direction of Dr. Suppa. The program included the processional, "O Come, O Come, Emanuel ," "Angels We Have Heard on High ," "Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella," "What Child is This?," "Good King Wenceslas," "Je su, Thou Dear Babe Divine," "The Holly and the Ivy," "When the Infant Jesus," "The First Noel," "O Come All Ye Faithful," and "The Hallelujah Chorus."

Administration Names Director The administration has announced that Mr. Peter G. Federico will assume a new position at Cabrini College. He will serve as Director of Development and Assistant to the President, effective Jan. 1. Mr. Federico has been formerly associated with the Development Offices at Villanova and at Harcum Jr. College.
Cabr,ini Greets Fr. Rudy Cabrini welcomes her new chaplain, Father Rudy Rooymans, O.Praem. Father arrived November 17. As chaplain, Father wishes to make faith reasonable and personal. In his first homily in the Cabrini chapel , Father stressed that he was not here to teach or to preach, but to be a witness to the truth.

Father will be head of "Encounter," the Christian commitment club on campus, and has such plans as a once a week theology course in practical where the students will discuss their own problems and problems facing the Church. Father said he would also like to experiment with the liturgy. Father Rudy, as he prefers to be called, was born and educated in Holland and became a Norbertine priest in 1937. He spent about thirty years in India where he was principal of a high school and vice principal of a college. He also worked on many projects such as an agricultural project among the Hindus, a school and social center for 2,000 children in the slums of Bombay, and he helped found the first Norbertine Priory in India. Because Father had contracted malaria and typhoid earlier, he was no longer permitted to stay in India, and he came to the United States in 1967 where he ta u ght in the Norberti ne Coll ege in Wisconsin .

A HeatedFor·um And FreedomOf Speech The privilege to voice an opinion here at Cabrini has not been denied. On the contrary the students have been encouraged to do so. Loquitor has invited the school members to voice their opinions in print stressing its policy of non-censorship. Identity was established last year and represents another medium following the same policy. We also have the right to bring any formal lecturer here to speak out. In a more informal manner the Student-Faculty-Administration Forums have been set up with the sole purpose of giving an opportunity to all members of the college to express their opinions. The structure of expression welcomes freedom of speech, but there has been evidence that some do not want to hear what people think. When some things are challenged the reaction is negative. Some do not want to listen. They close their minds on the premise that he or she doesn't know what he or she is saying or that could not possibly be true. Perhaps this "speak out" policy stressed here should shift its emphasis from speaking out to listening to those that do speak out. If someone challenges your position, don't sit back and be horrified. Examine the point criticized and at least give the speaker a defense that relates to the core of the problem instead of qualifying the point as a meaningless prejudice. Criticism does not function as a medium for departmental or personality wars. Criticism is a valid source of improvement promotion. Anyone willing to stand up and voice an opinion does not want to destroy, but create. These opinions come from people who care about Cabrini and want to make it a better place, not those who want to knock the establishment down. Problems are not solved by turning our backs on them or running away. They are solved by eliminating their cause. They only can be solved if people involved (and every student, faculty, and administration member is involved, or should be) listen. For if they won't listen, then these people will stop caring. We all have to help ourselves, not wait for everything to be done for us.
Building For Tomorrow The year of 1968 is drawing close to an end. Minutes, days and weeks are gone, never to be regained. We pm•sue scholastic endeavors, g to social functions, and the moments are disappearing into the past. What is this second's action but the past of tomorrow. Christmas and the New Year are fast upon us. Christmas brings warmth and love even in just its name. A babe was born and with him a new, fresh future. This is the way Christ meant for us to live life. The past is for broken dreams and promises; the future is for the fulfillment and accomplishment. Christ brought the future and all the love to build the future. To live in the stale yesterday is to condemn ourselves with our faults and mistakes. No one knows them better than yourself, history need not repeat itself. Make the future new and unique like birth. We can make this Christmas a new beginning. Many people become satisfied with their life and personality the way it is now and was in the past. A stationary person gains nothing new. But we can use the future for building a better "us". From the moment Christ was born He was making a better tomorrow. Any architect would us a plan from Christ. We can also be the architect by using Christ's plan of cementing and covering old yesterdays to make the skyscraper of the future. Mary Comitz

Are You Having A TobaciousDay? A survey conducted by Cookie Barbacane and Mary Cavanaugh Have you ever had a morsonic class? One professor did, but , felt there should have been a httle more discussion. Benjamin was acting very glingner one night and a student completely agreed. One staff member conceded that her day was lingressant due to the fact that she was so busy. While a student commented on the difficulty of working a chays machine, an administration member reacted flippantly when she was jokingly instructed not to be furnitious. A student walked in after a date and agreed that ait was coronescent, while nother agreed that her's was rather legrin. Have you been one of the fortunate persons to find yourself subject to the most recent survey on campus? If you weren't (think hard) perhaps you would have reacted as the majority did. The purpose . of this survey was to peek into pe0ple's mind and find out exactly who listens and
'
just what they listen to. The means of achieving this goal was to add several nonsensical words to the Engl ish language and employ them in everyday speech. Consequently the surveyors discovered how interested people are in what is being said and the degree of intelligence (not knowledge) they possessed. It's remarkable to note that through a cross-section of the college community 82% accepted and began to employ these new words. The following subjects' remarks are a result of either questions and or statements and have been chosen for your amusement, so may we say welcome to the glingner, legrin and often furnitious world of reality. Surveyor: Was it lingressant? Student: "Oh! You mean my blanket? I was at a football game." Surveyor: It's so morsonic in here.
EducationAndYou Change is very difficult for all of us to accept. We frequently wait until a tragedy occurs before we are moved to act. Such is the case involving six year old Ernest Roane, who was beaten to death because he brought home a "poor" report card last month. Nothing will bring back this young child's life now, but can we as educators and parents remain silent any longer? Isn't it time we stop the labeling of a child at a tender age of six as a failure because he did not measure up to a questionable standard? Is it proper to insert children this young into neat little slots properly labeled A, B, C:, D, F? Can we afford the gamble that another child might be maimed or worse for a poor grade? Are report cards at the age of six with A, B, C, D, F levels an accurate description of a child's ability?
Student: ''Oh! I'm the door open." Surveyor:

Was it furnitiating?
Student: "Oh! You mean tonite, yes!" Surveyor: "Don't get furnitious with me." Administrative member : "I'll appreciate you when I want to."
Surveyor: "It's very lingresant." Student: "That's what I mean. I know I'm not going to get anything done." Surveyor: "Benjamin, you better be glingner." Student: "Yes, he'd better." Surveyor: "Was your day furnitious?" Administration member: "I don't know what you'd call it." Surveyor: "Your class was very morsonic today." Faculty member: "Yes, but there should have been more discussion." Surveyor: ous. "

Letters to the Editor:
Your OpinionAnd Comment Object To 'Disgusted' To the editor: Dear Disgusted, I would like to reply to your letter in the past issue of Loquitur . You state that our parents were being "Pushed into" support of this group. I object to this. No one was pushed into anything. "Who Cares" thought that if parents might have a few extra dollars that they might want to contribute to a fund or benefit. Secondly, "Who Cares" is not giving a "hand-out" to anyone. "Who Cares" is giving these talented students a chance to be recognized. The money we asked for was to cover the costs of letter paper and stamps so that we could make the people in the Philadelphia area aware of their ability. They, in turn, are putting a tremendous amount of energy and time into their show.

Shrinking funds for grants and loans under the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963 mean serious dislocations on the nation's campuses. A 78 percent cutback is ex pected next fall in the number of college students receiving initial awards under the federal program of educational opportunity grants. Only 31,300 needy students will get the first-year grants next fall, according to estimates by administrators in the U .S. Office of Education. Their projections followed a
surprise reduction of $16-million in Congressio n al appropriations for the program. The White House had asked for $146.6-million the same amount that Congress provided last year but this was reduced by a Senate-House conference committee. Sr. Ignatius, bursar at Cabrini, also cited the fact that the 55 new institutions applying for aid next year will further . lower the cutback per college. Sister Ignatius reported that Cabrini is receiving $18,000 in EOA grants this year, and that the college has applied for $25,000 for next year. These grants are used as scholarship money for Cabrini students.

that before Darwin, change in man was seen as unreal in a Static view and complete in function and ability in the Completeness view.
Carolyn Downing, club president, moderated the faculty panel consisting of Mrs. Anna Kruse of the Biology staff; Dr. Joseph Romano, chairman of- the Philosophy Department; Mr. William DiComo head of the Sociology Department; and Miss Kathleen Gavigan of the History Department. Each panel member traced the influence of Darwinism in their particular field and then opened their views to questioning from the floor .
These theories were not disputed by the Teliological view which held man part of a complete design of nature and the Dualistic view which separated the body from the soul. After Darwin, these views were disputed when change was recognized, man was seen as basically incomplete, and a new self-consciousness emerged.
N.D. Critic Def ended OnBirth Control (A.C.P.) The Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, president of the University of Notre Dame, has defended the right of his faculty members to criticize the Papal encyclical banning artificial birth control. In a campus news conference, Father Hesburgh, a priest in the Order of the Holy Cross, discussed a speech by the Rev. James J. Burtchaell, chairman of the university's theology department. Father Burtchaell had strongly denounced the Pope's encyclical, in a speech to 700 students which was drawn from an article he plans to publish soon. While declining to discuss his own view of the encyclical, Father Hesburgh said: "I'm against half of the stuff that's talked about around here, but that's irrelevant, because anyone with a mind has to take a stand, and you take it as you wish. "That's the very reason for the existence of a university, and if you can't do that, then we ought to cancel out higher education."

Mrs. Kruse presented the Darwinian view of natural selection as the guiding ptocess in a world of constant flux. She explained that fossils, formerly viewed as evidence of our development in their being ancestors of the twentieth century species . This ancestoral theory was linked together by Malthus, who showed how slow shifts bring about evolutionary change, and Mendel, who in 1865 developed the ground work for genetics. All these views were subjects of controversy when modern genetics brought in the missing links between Darwinsm and Neo-Darwinism. A philosophical contrast of the Pre-Darwinian and Post-Darwinian view of man was then given by Dr. Romano . He explained

Miss Gavigan presented the viewpoint of Social Darwinism. This view was seen in nations taking upon views of racism and imperialism as ideals. Social Darwinism also put man against man economically in a gospel of wealth. This became evident when the democratic spirit of America became offended by materialism of the gospel of wealth and then drew up its freedom as based on freedom from wealth.
individual levels. It is found, for instance, in our governments, literature, and space exploration, and brings each individual to the realization that he is in a world of progress. This progress is formed by development in all fields, not just in isolated ideas formulated in individual fields.

Mr. DiComo presented his point in a social-biological aspect. He demonstrated this idea in the socialogist's use of models for their theories. The evolutionary model emerged from Darwinism which put society in a progression through specific steps. This model, however, had to be abandoned in modern sociology as each social stage advanced to a superior position which led the emphasis of social study to be placed upon change. These four viewpoints give us a backdrop of the effect the Darwinian idea brings to our twentieth century line of thinking. This idea has been a leading force in all the sciences and arts which make up the guides for current thought on general and

Suicides occur at the rate of 30 a day in Philadelphia. Perhaps the most appalling feature of the lecture was the desperation and determination of people to kill themselves or others. The children who were left to st"arve or tot in urinesoaked beds, those who were beaten and mangled, the persons who leave the one extra barbituate just in case their overdose was ineffective, thost who hang and also shoot themselves to make sure they really die, and those who have abortions, all serve to make us aware of other not-so-rosy aspects of life outside of Cabrini College.

the maximum sentence since 1961. There have been 98 narcotics deaths in Philadelphia so far this year. Possession of narcotics is illegal and yet we have statistics as high as this. Obviously our criminal laws need revamping. The statistics and premature deaths are evidence in themselves that something must be done. All of us, if given the right circumstances, are potential murderers. We cannot shut our eyes to the extant situations discussed by Dr. Fillinger. These things happen chances are a homicide or suicide is happening this very moment. If people continue to believe that "it couldn't happen to me" and have no desire to have effective, protective laws passed, the rate of death as a result of illegal actions will continue to rise. If the living fail to see reality, death statistics are available to prove it, and dead men do tell tales.

secrets of a Roman villa, an ironage hill fort or the structure of a medieval town or AngloSaxon cathedral 1;,efore they disappear, perhaps for ever. Expanding housing programs, city center redevelopment and new highway projects in Britain today have opened up many new possibilities for archaeological investigation. You may help in this important work, earn credits, make international friends and receive valuable training in archaeology, by joining a program sponsored by the Association for Cultural Exchange, the British nonprofit organization. Volunteers first join a threeweek seminar for training in British archaeology and excavation techniques at Merton College, Oxford. They then split up into small groups for three or more weeks "digging" on an archaeological site. Total cost of the program is 725 dollars, including round-trip air transportation from New York. Part scholarships are available to suitable students with a "B" plus average. Anyone interested may write now for further details to Professor Ian A. Lawson, Association for Cultural Exchange, 539 West 112th Street, New York 10025. Closing application date is February 1, 1969.
