Pitt Expands Study Program The University of Pittsburgh's one-term study program in Rouen, France, inaugurated in the fall of 1969, is being broadened to include opportunities for highly motivated students with a minimum of French training. The program, open to students enrolled in any American college or university, was originally intended for advanced French majors. Those students will still be welcomed in the program, and oppotu _nities commensurate with their abilities and interests will be made available . But Dr. Jerome Schwartz, associate professor of French at Pitt and director of the Rouen program for the 1970-71 academic year, says he is now actively seeking beginning French students who wish to acquire proficiency in the language in a minimum time and with maximum exposure to French language and culture. Applications will be considered from any student who prior to departure will have had one year of college French or three years of high school training in the language. Students with less training probably could not be accepted in the program -since they must have enough French on arrival in Rouen to communicate with the families with whom they will be housed. Students at both the beginning and advanced levels will have several course options open to them under the new program. They may construct for themselves a 12- to 15 credit program from among four offerings: a course in language
Notes From C of CA The Council of College Affairs held their monthly meeting Tuesday at 4:30 in the library conference room. Several issues were discussed. A new light has been thrown on the possibilities of the Honor Code being passed in the near future because of the change in curfew, dress, and cut systems . It is in the hands of the S.G.A. now as to whether a poll will be taken again. This was discussed at the Monday, March 9 meeting of the S.G.A. It was decided that last year the Honor Code seemed to be an abstract term with the students. Everyone was talking about it, but nobody could relate it to its proper use. Dr. Romano proposed a culture week for next year in September or October. All the schools in the vicinity will be invited. It will emphasize the school as a liberal arts college. This is to be placed on the agenda for next month's Council meeting. This would include possibly a nationally known speaker, music and art exhibits, and a rock and roll group. The culture week committee .would be comprised of students, faculty, and administration.
skills (6-9 credits); a lecture course in the history of French civilization, French political institutions or French literature, taught by a University of Rouen staff member (3 credits); _a seminar on the contemporary French scene conducted in English by Dr. Schwartz (3 credits); and independent study (3 or more credits). The typical beginning student would probably take 9 credits of language work, plus the seminar. The typical advanced student might take 6 credits of language work, plus the lecture course, plus t_he seminar and/or independent study. Further information and application forms may be obtained by writing · to Dr. Jerome Schwartz, Director, the University of Pittsburg Program in F"rance, '1017 Cathedral of Learning, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania 15213, or by calling ( 412) 621-3500, extension 491.
Consultant To Review Cabrini On Thursday, March 19, Brother Gregory Nugent, F.S.C., consultant for the Middle $tates Association, will make his routine visit . After Cabrini received its accreditation there is a follow up with periodical visits from a consultant . Brother Gregory will be most interested in the administration. Cabrini has carried out last year's recommendations by the Middle States Association. The Admissions Office is separated from the Registrar, and administrative responsibilities are delegated to other administrative officers such as the Academic Dean and Dean of Students ( these positions have always existed), Business and Finance, and Public Relations. These offices are responsible to the President. Brother Gregory, of the Christian from Manhattan New York. He is fo:r many national tional groups.

of keeping a moral frame of reference in mind when the sub.ject was discussed. Questions, such as, "Is war a defense of social order, or is it a militaristic act of aggresston," can be answeded by your frame of reference. This moral view should also be kept in mind when discussing the possibility of total warfare, which seems the only war imaginable today . Dr. Romano then briefly outlined various philosophers and their views about war.
ArtOnDisplay InLibrary An exhibit of original illustrations for children's books will be held at the Cabrini College library, March 2 through 13. The illustrations will be arranged along with the print~d book in which they appear. Other items on display include hand written first copies of texts, galley sheets indicating changes to be made, and autographed photographs of some of the authors and illm;trators represented. The collection was originally compiled in 1960 under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth P. Hoffman, then librarian at the Oakmont Elementary School, Haverford Township, and Miss Catherine Meredith, sixth grade English teacher, whose pupils wrote to the authors and illustrators requesting the materials. Mrs. Hoffman is now director of the Division of School Libraries, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The original collection has been augmented an:1Ually under · the guidance of the Oakmont School's librarians. The exhibit at Cabrini will mark the first display of the collection outside the Oakmont School. According to Harry A. Thaete, Jr ., principal of the Oakmont School, the difficulties of maintaining and displaying the extensive collection have made it impossible to continue adding to it. Mrs. Grace Dundore, Oakmont School Librarian, and Mrs. Natalie Veitch, curriculum librarian at Cabrini College, are coordinating the exhibit. The public is invited to view the exhibit, free of charge, Monday through Friday, 9:00 and P.M., and on Sattirdays Sunday, 12:00 noon to 4:00 P.M.
LaSalle Theater Holds Auditions March 15 and 22 The Music Theatre will open its ninth season on Wednesday, July 1st with a production to be announceq, which will run through July 26th. Second offering of the summer will be the long-running Broadway hit "Man of La Mancha," which will open on Wednesday, August 5th, and play for thirtyfour performances, through September 6th. Manager Dan Rodden announces openings for actors and actresses, singers, dancers, qualified pit musicians, and members of the technical and administrative staff. Positions for ten apprentices, to be chos·en from local high school and college students, are also announced: all company and staff members, including apprentices, are salaried.
Miss Gavigan spoke about war and industrialism . She began by citing a work by Sombart, who believed life had a cause and effect relationship with industrialism. In his book, War and Progress, John Nef opposed Sombartl".s view. He tried to present reasons why such a concept as total Wiirfare is an inevitable reality because of the invention of nuclear weapons. Nef maintains that, during the Middle Ages, there were -material , intellectual, and religious restraints which wars limited. Since these restraints no longer exist, Nef suggested a possible plan through intellectual restraint by which total warfare can be prevented. Industrialism played an important role in accelerating warfare. Mr. DiComo stated that we have a strong pervasive military apparatus in the United States. It is one upon which we rely heavily, not only for protection, but also as a business investment-. With an article by Donald McDonald, Mr. DiComo substantiated .the idea that civilians of military affiliation seem to gravitate toward our governmental central agencies. It is
Cabrini Grad Stars In N. Y. Play A member of the first graduating class of Cabrini College is now emerging as an actress and a writer in the New York City area . Mrs. James Lepis (Ca·brini Boggiano, '61) is currently appearing as Hecuba in the N.Y. Academy of Dramatic Arts production of The Trojan Women. She will open the Academy's presentation of Chekov's The Three Sisters on March 15. A recent feature article on her in the Hudson Dispatch has this to say of her interest in the arts: "As proof of her determination to complete her dramatic training, Mrs . L_epis explained that s)1e enrolled at the school when pregnant, ' continued with classes until two weeks before her delivery, and returned to class two weeks after the baby was born .. . She says that her husband James, has been of invaluable assistance in her furthering her education by babysitting on most occasions and encouraging her at all times ."
also apparent that they ate in high administrative branches of companies dealing in defens e. As a result, they make thei r presence felt when they can influence governmental policy. w ·e should wonder if we do, in fact , have as much control over the military policy as we have complacently thought. Lastly, Mr . Tomasco spoke about aggression and its effects upon man. The study of psychology is concerned with individual behavior . Bridging the gap between war and individual aggressive acts in man is somewhat difficult. Therefore, we can only speculate and relate to the theories and findings with respect to individual aggressive acts and their arousal in man. Two points of view concerning aggression appear. One view, held by Freud, Dollard, and Miller, states that aggression is an inevitable result of inefficient sublimation . The studies made by Berkowitz in California showed that agression can be learned . The symposium was an afternoon of insights. Dr. Romano hopes to get students representing the different departments participating in the next interdepartmental symposium.
Recent Cbangls-ln History Departmen The following changes are the most recent in the history department and will go into effect for the 1970-71 school year . European Civilization, the required freshman couse, remains six credits as before. Four semester courses, offered every year, of which the student can choose the period before 1815 or the period after-Hist . 103-4 or Hist. 105-6. Hist. 103-The Middle Ages: 300 to 1300-Benjamin. from the Hist. 104-Europe Renaissance to 1815-Gavigan. Hist. 105-Europe in the 19th Century - Gavigan. Hist . 106 - Europe in the 20th Century - Gavigan . The shorter time span will make possible going into the subject more deeply, utilizing different methods of instruction, and assigning a richer understanding of the possibilities of historical study . Any of these semesters is open separately to upperclassmen at any time. Changes in Requirements for the History Major. Three credit seminar-Hist. 401-2: Historiography-instead of six credit seminar - Hist. 401-2 : Historical Method and Historiography-required of all majors. Offered Fall 1970. Total credits required for major - above general education six credit requirement-24 credits of which 21 are electives from upper division history courses. No related field requirements. Hist. 411-Topics in the Cultural History of China and Japan-Benjamin-will be offered Spring 1971.

America the beautiful, whose purple mountains are slowly tumbling and smothering its population with mace and t€ar gas, and whose fruited plains are dying from the injustices performed on them, and whose good, instead of being crowned with brotherhood, are sent to Viet Nam to fight for a cause they don't believe in. Yes, the Chicago Seven were released to once again "menace" the streets and corrupt this democratic society which allows murderers and thieves to be released on bail while its war protesters and drug experimenting youths are spending the most profitable years of their life behind bars. Yes, the Chicago Seven are once again on the streets of Any City, U.S.A., to make people aware of the injustices performed every day to anyone making a firm stand for what they believe in.

Student Opinions and Letters Cabrini HAS Advanced It is not surpnsmg that different people have different points of view on the same subject. What is disconcerting is the fact that the point of view that covers most of the whole story is not always the one that prevails. Consider the point of view that emcompases Cabrini College prior to the 1968-69 school year. Cabrini College was indistinguishable from most small, Catholic, girl's liberal arts colleges. The student body reflected the attitudes and values of middle AmE,rica. Social problems and concern were far removed from campus (academic?) life. There were no urban problems, there were no race problems. Whenever small efforts were made to inject social values into the curriculum, the response-if there was oneusually ranged somewhere between the values of Spiro Agnew and George Wallace. During the school year 1968; 69 things changed. Cabrini had a Social Science department. There was a barrage of programs and speakers; low-key speakers, angry speakers, block speakers. "Telling it like it is" is a stale cliche that does no justice to the outpouring of social inequities that were revealed at these meetings. Cabrini College--in nine short months - swung 180° around from indifference to concern. It was difficult to find a student or a faculty member who did not take some position on social
problems. On the one hand many stereotypical utterances were conjured up that would give Stepin Fetchit new life. On the other hand many people were awakened to their own prejudices and sought to do something about it. There was not only a social dimension to this 'revolution" on campus, there was an academic aspect as well. Approximately ten students declared their intentions of majoring in Social Sciences. Very little else could be expected from a new department in one year. It is very difficult · to comprehend what other point of view could completely obviate the one given above. Joseph J. Romano
Few Requests For Advanced Languages In response to comments of the Editor in the February 11th Loquitur, I would like to clarify a few statements regarding Modern Languages at Cabrini. The Language Department is most anxious to off;er advanced courses. I would hope that no student believes that the faculty of this department is content to teach only Elementary and Intermediate courses. All of us would welcome progression to a major program. Unfortunately, we have not seen enough student interest to bring this about. In her article Stephanie states that a number of requests have been made for advanced courses in Spanish. There is, then, a
lack of communication between the department and the students. In the three-year period from 1967 to 1970, I have received requests from five students for Advanced Spanish and two requests for an Italian course. Bear in mind that this was over a tbree--year period. If any student wishes to take an advanced course in the languages: French, Spanish, or German, please contact me before March 17 so we can determine need for faculty. If six girls are willing to register for an advanced language course it will be given. We would also be willing to give elective Elementary courses for those interested. Credit will be given for these courses. Please indicate your interest by March 17. I would like to add, however that registration must be responsible. Last spring twelve students registered for an advanced French course. In the Fall the class number was four; in the spring, three. One of the twelve was in Europe, but what of the others? I repeat, the department is anxious to provide courses that students want. I would welcome your suggestions as to how interest in advanced courses might be increased so together we can remedy an unfortunate situation. Sincerely, (Mrs.) Helene Hennigan Acting Chairman Department of Modern Languages
The initial meeting of the Flat Earth Society took place on Feb. 26 in the Math Department. Fourteen members were present. The program consisted of a presentation by Mr. _Satlow and Mr. McGee of eight straight arguments supporting the belief that the earth is flat, followed by a discussion period of Flat-Earthian policies. Items of business included discussion on the following, to be incorporated into future agendas : a) the Society's participation in the celebration of Earth Day on April 22 b) the possibility of obtaining "club" status and funds from SGA c) formulation of an alphabet of flat letters and a digital system of flat numbers for use by the Society d) to make available to interested members a bibliography of reference books supporting the beliefs of this grou~ e) nominations and award 'to outstanding Flat-Earthers f) correspondence with other
Honor System Fails Guard your valuables. There are thieves lurking about. Over one hundred dollars has been taken from Woodcrest dormitory, alone, this year . Grace Hall has had its share of thievery, also. Even the day hops are not safe; things have disappeared from some of their lockers. Only the Mansion has remained untouched. This is not the only type of thievery. People have gone down to the community refrigerator only to find that their food is gone or half eaten. It makes no difference how well _they wrap or label it. People should learn how easily they could get things, if they would only ask for them. The candy machine in Woodcrest was opened last week. All the money and candy was taken, even from the display. When the candy man came, he did not refill the machine. Can you blame him? People have abused the public phones in the dormitories. They

Cryptic Seeks Orignal Material The Cryptic, Cabrini's literary magazine, is looking for good poetry, prose, photography, art, or anything else you care to share with us. March 13 is the deadline for submitting your work-all we ask is that you contact the editor, Marie Vaccarelli, or leave your name in the English Office. Again this year we are opening the magazine to the outside world. We would appreciate any material you might solicit from other schools. But the book primarily is a Cabrini publication and we need your help to keep it going. The Cryptic is offering you a chance to express your creative and artistic side, your better half. Take advantage of this opportunity and contribute your talents . use a phoney credit card or give a fictitious name and another college for the phone company to send the bill to. The phone company catches on ; they have already sent us a warning. If there are thoughts of starting the honor system here at Cabrini, it must be remembered that this is part of it, too. An honor code is not all academic. I hope we obtain some maturity and show that we are capable of handling such a great thing as the honor system. Catherine Murphy '71

Self-reliant like the catthat takes its prey to privacy, the mouse 's limp tail hanging like a shoelace from its mouththey sometimes enjoy solitude, and can be robbed of speech by speech which has delighted them .

provide the best education possible for the present and future students. Changes in curriculum , campus. atmosphere for learning , student-life outside class, all lead to the fact that Cabrini wants to prepare students to live meaningfully in the 1970's and beyond. If there are to be changes , they should be made primarily because our students themselves have changed. Their environment has changed , and the world we all live in is itself changing rapidly. Our students come to College today better informed than previous generations. In their world of childhood, the atom bomb, the cold war, the peacetime draft, have been as familiar to them as baseball and bubblegum . Students today have grown up in an essentially different environment. They have influenced and absorbed things earlier generations never knew at any age . Today's students are--generally speaking-more curious , more questioning , more suspicious of phoniness, more eager to discuss issues, more eager to find personal commitments , because they are young , inexperienced and still confused about many things. The y are ignoran t and unconcerned ab out important matters perhaps , ready to ignore all forms of protoc ol except those set up by themsel ves , unwilling to · conform to some adult--s-tan<lard , tt too--wi-Hin sometimes to conform rigidly to the standards of their peers , and in short , both hungry and fr ightened. I belie ve any college needs to make change s, simply because it is right and just . Let us be honest, damn few real changes have been made in the education field . Most changes were not in the stucture of education , but within that structure, as someone remarked "we simply moved a few bricks and cement blocks around ." Perhaps , today we need a change in the str4cture itself more desparately than ever before . Aren't we teachers all from the same system? Isn 't our knowledge and our so called wisdom the result of a labyrinth process of learning what we wanted to learn , and learning that, not only in the classrooms, but in conversations, in our own reading , and in our experiences . Should not education consist of making it possible for students to go through a simi lar process in order to reach

Don't ask me how to make a college a real place-I just don 't know! However, it doesn 't mean that nothing can or should be done . Someone very interested and concerned about education, suggested that "a program of experimental studies must be put into operation with a limited amount of analysis and talk , working out the difficulties as one goes along, depending upon one's own flexibility and one 's own good judgement to see that no serious damages result." To make this possible one has to have faith and trust in those who make up a College , firml y believing that the necessa ry work will be accomplished . And please let us not condemn persons who are trying to do something, instead of talking about it . One must have confidence in oneself and the students.
Concerning the 'Yule L_o__g__ Ce.r__e.m o:n,....._ ' ..........,._,_,__-= In reference to your recent statement as to the fact that Mr. Waldt has pyromania, I would like to set the records straight. As I lay here , half charred and near death in a puddle of now frozen water, I have these last words to say about the fateful day of the burning of the After Christmas Yule Log . I had been residing in a nice , but old fireplace in the Business Office on the campus of Cabrini College since long before Christmas. It was always nice and warm in this fireplace but the people there never set me on fire . I saw a small Christmas celebration and many days of bitter cold and snow but still I did not burn. One morning in February I awoke and it was very very cold in my fireplace . Mr . Waldt's secretary and Sister Ignatius with two other members of the Business Office walked around freezing . Suddenly a flash of lighting hit the fireplace mantle and the voice from above said "Why don't you light the fireplace Dum Dum." Well, Peg turned to Sister and Sister to Peg and they made a mad dash for a book of matches and together they lite me up . About five minutes later through the smoke I heard Mr. Waldt come in and remarked , "Little smokey in here isn't it? " The next thing I knew a fire . man was squirting me with water and I was being carried into the courtyard of the Mansion where I am laying now . So you see Mr. Waldt does not have pyromania but two other people in his office do . I am fading now but at least I have lasted long enough to tell you the true story of the day . Goodbye . . . .

Cabrini Wins Against Rough Opponents Cabrini's greatest victory came last week with the defeat of Eastern Baptist's champion team, who surprisingly enough, weren't quite as good as we expected. Our team was tense on the way over, sinc2, as rumors have it, Eastern Baptist had supposedly taken its toll, with casualties on the opposing teams, ranging from crushed rib cages to nine stitches in the forehead. This of course really gave us a reason to worry, (right Mrs. G?) Well, off we started, bandages and splints in hand-ready for anything. Once we got there we almost smiled at our previous nervousness; they looked nice enough, but once the game progressed, it was evident that "Big C" was not as well trained in guerrella warfare as our opponents. The end of the second quarter found us behind 6 points. Goody gave her usual pep talk, and by the third quarter we had taken a 6 point lead! Since that old, unfailing Cabrini spirit, (combined with only a LITTLE anger ... ) never fails us, "Big C" came through with the score changed from loss to win, a beautiful 37 to 26 -a very deserving score for ho.th teams. Credit goes high for the E.B. game, but it seemed to have drained a bit of our energies, as our side appeared somewhat tired from the fight. By the time we met with Manor Junior College last Tuesday night, our form was careless, the entire team was off, and although we maintained the lead throughout, this didn't say too much for Manor's reputation. At the end of the second quarter, the score

was a close 4-3. Even our star players started out on the wrong foot, · (practically tripping over the other) Goody's attitude was one of mixed emotions ... ranging between anger and confusion. With a few stinging words from the coach, the attitude and course of action of the team, made a drastic change for the better. Jane Sefrenek was high scorer, and played beautifully once she got started. The .rest of the team followed suit and really backed her up. The final score was 4026!

Loquitor Previews Mr.Tomasco Before coming to Cabrini, "Tony T," as he is affectionately called, taught high school science, while doing grad work at Villanova. He graduated from Monsignor Bonner High School, La Salle College, and then continued his studies at Villanova and Temple. After teaching high school for three years, Mr. Tomasco joined the research staff at the Philadelphia State Psychological Hospital where he was concerned with socio-environmental therapy and chronic institutionalized psychotics. (If you think that is a mouthful, try doing a study on it!) While he was there, he programmed the characteristics of patients on computer cards and finish~d a study on Self-Sacrifice Among Chronic Psychotics. There were no tangible rewards in his work, and he enjoyed teaching, so Mr. Tomasco came to Cabrini. Now he finds that, between school and his outside studies, he has no more time for golf. He also used to enjoy building furniture-maybe someone can talk him into doing something about the furniture at · Woodcrest. Mr. Tomasco likes to relax with music, mostly classical. He
SGA News The S.G.A. discussed briefly at its weekly meeting, held Monday, March 2, the issue of parietals. At this time it was decided that a poll should be passed among the students to determine whether the idea of parietals is favorable or not. Another point in question, the feasability of using the parking lot next to Woodcrest, was also raised at this meeting. Mr. Waldt, at present, has refused to allow cars to park here overnight due to the fact that it would be a fire hazard. In my opinion, I don't think this is a valid reason. Is it any better for students, returning in the early morning hours, to park their cars in the lot behind Sacred Heart Hall and . walk in pitch darkness back to the dorm?
doesn't like today's electrical sound, but he does enjoy folk music, so there's hope for him yet. You can find Mr. Tomasco in his office, when he's not in class, to discuss any problems with schoolwork, or just to talk. And 7 he's a very nice person to taik to.
Not too long ago there was a minor fire in the Mansion; there were cars parked in front, yet they seemed to pose no immediate problem or danger. Besides, if a place is designated a fire hazard of some sort, a sign is placed there by a Fire Marshall declaring it as such. As of now, th~re is no sign in front of the parking lot which states this to be so. Maybe Mr. Waldt will see the other side of this issue and allow students to utiliz ·e this area for parking overnight. Another problem at hand concerns Cabrini's newly acquired bus. The most obvious reason for purchasing the bus is to transport students to and fro ,m different places. If this is the purpose, why then do we have to pay $5.00 an hour to use it? The only organizations exempt from this fee are the Glee and Athletic Clubs because they "represent" Cabrini. But what about the other clubs, aren't they a part of Cabrini also? If the bus was bought for Cabrini, then all the Clubs and organizations should have FREE access to the use of it. If the present conditions are allowed to exist, the situation will simply revert back to what it was previously; girls will use their own cars. So then, what is the exact purpose of the bus, to sit in the parking lot and grow prematurely old from lack of use??? As for the mirrors in Woodcrest and the locks for Grace Hall.

Lankenau Hospital / Aids Drug Addicts By JILL CARROLL On Wednesday, March 4, at 3:10 p.m. several Cabrini students had the privilege of attending a lecture by Mr.· Wm. O'Keefe a Mental Health Educator and Consultant for Lankenau Hospital. The topic was "The Use and Abuse of Drugs." Mr. O'Keefe visits various schools and talks with the students about the many dangers of drug abuse . Lankenau Hospital has a program for drug addicts which is called the Methadone treatment. This involves a period of de-toxification in which the addicts receive a drug called methadone which keeps them from going through withdrawal and, at the same time, eliminates their dependency on heroin. They also have help from trained counsellors and ex-addicts. It is a slow process but very helpful and worthwhile. The lecture was very informative and helpful and it is my fervent wish that Mr . O'Keefe will return and help us to learn more about this very serious problem. The Biology Club will sponsor a flower sale this week for Easter. Tulips and hyacinths will be available in assorted colors. Orders will be taken in the back of the cafeteria during lunch time. ·
