NATIONAL ANTI-POLUTION
DAY APRIL 22nd
March 25, 1970
Beginning with the Fall semester of 1970, Cabrini College will begin the implementation and expansion of its Department of Fine arts. Through the recommendation of Sister Barbara, Vice-President of Academic Affairs arid the Chairman of Academic Affairs and the Chairmanship of Dr. Carl Suppa, the Fine Arts Department will ,now include Art, Music and Drama. It is planned to nave an increase of courses available to the student each semester. Many of these will be electives. Thus, presenting the opportunity to Cabrini students a well balanced and varied cultural academic program in Fine Arts. Since my area of teaching is Art I wish'. her to speak to you of that area only.
Cabrini; and Warner Bros. Sign Contract Cabrini College has made a special arrangement with Warner Brothers, Inc., to inaugurate a campus film festival of fourteen full-length top calliber motion pictures during the 1970-71 school year. Kappa Sigma Omega volunteered to . be the sponsoring body for the contract. Representative films include Camelot, Bonnie and Clyde, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, A Star is Born, and 9 more of comparable quality. The reason for the sudden break-through revolves around the fact that Warner Brothers is now renting out films at a price based on the number of people actually viewing the film -rather than a set rental per film. Therefore, previously exhorbitant fees have been reduced in reasonable mm1mums. The price of admission on campus will be fifty cents for members of the college community and seventy-five cents for guests. The student government has agreed to absorb any extra costs which may be incurred in order to provide this community service. Kappa Sigma Omega will be able . to exhibit each film several times over a three day period, thus allowing for maximum e~posure to visitors, students, faculty, and all other members of the college community . The schedule of specific titles will appear in the 1970-71 calendar and reviews of each film will be printed in Loquitur prior to each showing.
In the past we have had only two Art courses, viz., Art Appreciation and Art Methods. Beginning Next Fall the program in that area alone will be such that at the end of her senior year a student will have accumulated thirty credits. Over the four years ten different art courses at three credits each will be offered. The courses will occur in blocks so that if a student is unable to take a specific course at one time she will be able to do so at another time. A student at Cabrini can now major in Fine Arts. This will be possible through the accumulativP credits ¡ in Art, Musi.,::, Drama and the other required academic subjects. This new academic degree opens up an entirely new world for Cabrini College and for the students at Cabrini. Two new members will be added to the faculty of the Fine Arts Department. One will be in Art, the other in Drama. These will be formally announced by the administration at the proper time. The courses in Art which will be presented at Cabrini this Fall will be detailed in the next catalogue. However, in order that you might be able to have an idea of what the program will be like, the course titles and a brief description of each course is given here.
Academic Calendar Set After considering the opinions submitted by faculty and Student Government Association, Sister Barbara, Academic Dean, has finalized the essential elements of the academic calendar for 1970-71. The alternatives considered were, in the case of the first semester, starting classes before Labor Day (along with Villanova) and beginning Christmas Vacation on Dec. 18 vs. starting classes after Labor Day and . ending Dec. 23. In the case of the second semester, the choice was between beginning later January (1/25) with a 6-day Easter recess vs. beginning earlier with a 11 day recess. The final choice, therefore appears as follows: FIRST REGISTRATION Monday, Sep. 7 (Labor Day) Upperclassmen registration Tuesday, Sept. 8 First day of classes Wednesday, Sept. 9 Last day of classes Wednesday, Dec. 16 Reading days Dec. 17-18 Final exams Dec. 19 (Sat.), 21, 22, 23
"Man And His Religious Art Through The Ages." This is an exposition of man's meanderings in arriving at God. Through the archeological discoveries of art forms from "Homo Sapiens" to the Middle Ages, (30,000 B.C. ¡to 12th century A.D.,) investigation is made of man's belief in God through the study of His art forms. An insight into aspects of Salvation History not found in -the Bible but obtained through the study of art. "Evaluation of Gothic Art With The Contemporaneous Scene." In this course a study is made of architecture, sculpture and painting of the Middle Ages from the 12th century to the 15th century, investigating the influence, if any, with the present. "The Baroque Phenomenon In Painting, Sculpture and Architecture." Here an in-depth stu-
dy of Baroque painting of 17th and 18th centuries is made,touching upon sculpture and architecture as well. This course is presented in coordination with and supplements Dr . Suppa's course in Baroque Music. "The Renaissance, A Christian Revival of Pagan Golden Age." This course is a detailed study of painting and sculpture of the Italian Renaissance, its relationship to the Greek Golden Age and the present. "The French Impressionists And The Post-Impressionists." This course includes the study of Newo-classicism, the French Academy, the causes of artistic rebellion, the "Nouvel Art," birth of Impressionism, its rejection and final acceptance. This course deals solely with paintings and the artists of the period. "Art On The American Scene From the Revo1ution to The Present." Here we have a study of painting in the U.S.A., its beginnings during the Revolutionary War to the present. It includes the portraitists of 18th cent., Primitives, Romantics, the Hudson River School, the Ash Can School, the N eoclassicists, Cubism, Surrealism, Abstractionism, Pop Art, Op Art, Psychedelic Art and the revial of "Nouvel Art.'' This could be an excellent collateral course for those students studying American Lit. and/or American History . The following three courses are Studio courses and need no explanation. 'Their titles are self -explanatory . They are: "Studio Course In Drawing," "Watercolor Painting," and "Oil Painting.'' With this renewal and updating of the Art Courses it is hoped that a new and vigorous interest in Art on the part of the students will become evident. Evident through such activities as a well organized Art Club and more frequent and better campus art exhibits.
Mrs. Gough Reports On Library Progress By Carolyn Gough As charter member of Tristate College Library Cooperative (TCLC) Cabrini College Library is very proud of the progress that this organization has made under the capable guidance of Sr . Mary Dennis Lynch, Librarian of Rosemont College. We were awarded a $20,000 government grant this year for the purchase of 16mm films: they will be housed at P.M.C ., but will be available to all of the members on inter-library loan. One of the current pro- . jects of TCLC is a compilation of a union list of the film holding of all of the member libraries, so in order to qualify for participation in this cooperative endeavor, we are in the process of developing an A-V department here in Holy Spirit Library. We are fortunate this year to have received two very gen(Continued on Page 4)

Lhis Student Catch Me If You Can By Maureen Ryan Congratulations Cabrini! We must have the only photostat machine that seems to derive a pleasure from 'Swallowing" papers on occasion . Picture an unsuspecting student entrusting an "important" paper to a machine which proceeds to make every sound from A to Z and then , for a grand finale, plays a game of hide and seek with both the original article and the copy. "Catch me if you can" seems to be the name of the game .
Dark Is the Night By Linda Crumlish "The woods are lonely, dark and deep," so the familiar line of Frost's poem reads, but I scattered around our campus in doubt if he had the 60 or so acres of twisted underbrush scattered around our campus in mind as he wrote.

Possibly, and even more inportant, it may · help stop some young people from labeling themselves failures-accepting failure-and expecting failure . I first proposed this at Lincoln University (where I teach Chemistry) in January 1969.

Consider the plight of Mike Loschenka, a Junior at Philadelphia College .of Textiles and Science, who returned to his "safely-docked" Austin American to find his passengers' side windows shattered by what appeared to be bullet -type pellets. Now, don't get me wrongI'm not saying things haven't improved. At least at Woodcrest we haven't had the Grace Hall patrons of years past such as the Naked dorm visitor that many girls had the dubious "distinction" to encounter. But what new adventures do the woods have to offer, I dare to ask. Lets not tempt fate. If I could put in a request for a very early Christmas present I'd ask for a . bigger parking lot. But if that wouldn't do-how about a flash-light dispensor at each gate.
There. is a building here in campus that not too many people give any second .thought to. This is the Holy Spirit Library. It was built in 1965 and now houses 59,283 books . The book to student ratio is 154 to 1. Our library also contains 406 different kinds of periodicals which we share with eastern Baptist. If you can not find the material you want at Cabrini , you may go to Eastern Baptist's Library. At Cabrini there are vertical files filled with pamphlets on a variety of subjects, and many useful reference books line the shelves. Our library has a 3 M Photocopier and a Recordak which shows microfilm and also photocopies. On the second floor of Holy Spirit there are stacks which contain the back issues of the magazines found in the library. The second floor also has a curriculum library and an A.V. room, which is especially useful to the student teachers, and conference rooms where groups may get together for discussions. With wall to wall carpeting, studty darrels, and comfortable chairs, the library offers a very ·good place to study. People have been mis-using the library. Last week, a girl came in to get an encyclopedia for reference. The three she could have used were missing from the shelves and were no where to be found. The library spends a great deal of time and money binding periodicals. Pages have been ripped out. Missing books have to be replaced. The cost of replacing books could be used, instead, to purchase new materials. The students, themselves, suffer; they won't have new materials available for them. Holy Spirit Library has a very lenient policy on taking out books. One may just sign her name or use her student card to do so. Books may be taken out for two weeks, and a week grace period is given without fines. If this is so, why must people sneak books out without signing out? It is well to keep in mind that we must use our library properly in order to obtain full benefit of it.

Cabrini Wraps Up Calendar of 8 Events March 31-Tuesday-Led Zeppelin P.M. at the Spectrum. Winning Season March. 31-April 15--Philadelphia Museum of Art--Van
For only the third time in nine seasons, the Cabrini varsity basketball team finished with a record of more victories than losses. The current .campaign closed on March 5 with an 8 and 6 log. With the exception of Holy Family, all Cabrini's losses were to power teams from larger schools-Rosemont, Immaculata, Chestnut Hill, Bryn Mawr and Gwynedd. The jubilant part, however, is the victories. From a student body of less than 400, Cabrini was able , to field a team that could defeat eight other colleges. The wins ranged from a 49-7 massacre of Cheyney State to a 33-32 squeaker over PCB. All kinds of records were broken-most wins in a season (8), most points in a game (51, vs. Villanova,) highest game average (38.8 points), and Jane Mendendez and Jane Sefranek each scored ov.er 150 points. The varsity will be losing only one senior, so coach Mrs. Goodwin should have ·the nucleus of a very fine team for next year in Laura Hentschel, Rey Spellman, Kathy Sulock, Helen Sefranek, Jane Menendez, Mary Lou Husbands, and Linda Dougherty. The JV should also be recognized.

World News The initiation of this column was advanced upon request of the Loquitur staff, and very possibly by the observation that Cabrini lacks any distinct formal organization for the. discussion of current world event. Obyiously, however, the number of TIME magazines occupying mailboxes on Tuesday afternoons points out that our students, nevertheless, remain timely aware of the state of the world-be it spherical, confused, or flat. Perhaps I feel a bid deficit that I don't have the rebordered magazine on my weekly agenda, for I have been solely running out the endurance of my own subscription to red, white and patriotic blue U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT. The big five news items of the past week were the problems of Crime in the United States, school busing in the South, whether Viet Nam can "Go it alone," the increasing range of student violence, and an appraisal of two European capitals' reactions to the U.S force withdrawal in that area of the world. Although I feel inadequately qualified to judge any situation that seems so unfamiliar to me, I shall try to do my best to inform you of those opinions held by some purported experts. Concerning the first topic: The grim upsurge of crime (says US News) is due to an increase of motivation behind criminals. Motivation towards crime arises in the problems of narcotics, poverty, racial malice and class hatred. Narcotics, where the addict turns to robbing his community in order to finance his habit, and social ills such as the decayed conditions of the inner city, where poverty, poor housing and schools is prevalent, breeds the criminal. Experienced persons have made the claim that our system of criminal justice is a failure, making it almost safe to break a, law. Other experts protest that police manpower is spread too thinly or that the moral "permissiveness" of our society contributes to the crime crisis . At this point it seems that enough influential people have become the victims of sotne crime, so that crimefighting will be the ''in" career this summer. In an attempt at integration of southern schools, federal courts are demanding that cities spend millions of dollars to bus thousands of school children into across-town schools. In re-

action to this order, angry parents and officials are rising in protest, some more violently than others. Their main argument seems to be that the money used for busing could instead be used to improve educational facilities in substandard schools Can Viet Nam go it alone? President Thieu answered that his government (South Viet Nam) will need supporting dollars and aid from Washington, and this will help determine how fast South Vietnamese troops can replace GI's. Other· points in his dialogue were that the US should maintain forces on the Southeast Asian mainland after the war is over, or risk a Communist Chinese take -over; that Saigon wants peace -but their will be no pre-election coalition with the Viet Cong; and that renewed bombing of North Viet Nam cannot be ruled out. Can Viet Nam go it alone? In the area of student violence, college militants are moving off the campus more often-and aiming at new targets: Banks, stores, other business establishments. At the University of California at Berkeley and Santa Barbara, at the Universities of Illinois and Michigan, there have been flare -ups of violence which claimed for its victims the nearby communities. This trend is foreseen as a continuing alarm across the country, tesnsing all those who live near academic centers. "Our" Allies in Western Europe have been awakened to the fact that it is not only in Viet Nam that the US intends to reduce forces. If the US does pull back from Europe, there are few signs that Western Europe intends to fill the gaps left by the withdrawals. Many political leaders believe the result would be a wave of neutralism in Western Europe, with each nation scrambling to guarantee its security by seeking an accomodation with Russia. Most West Europeans are convinced the US would not accept a neutralized Europe under Soviet domination." Still, to many others, the

Volunteers are atPennhurst Needed Pennhurst State School and Ho~pital, created by an act of the Legislature in 1903, opened its doors to patients of the Commonwealth in November, 1908. Its expansion to a 50 building community providing care for some 2,800 men tally retarded residents is a reflection of the ever increasing problem faced by the community in providing humane care and realistic training for its retardates. Of more than 40,000 mentally retarded persons in Pennsylvania who require institutional care and come from every walk of life and every part of the state, some 13,000 are cared-for in tax-supported institutions such as Pennhurst. Many of these persons are totally dependent; others are able to help in the enormous task of providing adequate patient care; still others are able to be educated and guided to the point of returning to the community. Pennhurst, like many communities in Chester County, provides for many of its own needs. The 600 acre tract, located just west of Spring City, on the banks of the Schuylkill, is beautifully landscaped and includes ' a large farm where fresh milk from 120 milking cows and fresh vegetables in season are the chief products. The Physical Plant includes maintenance shops, power and sewage disposal plants, transportation corps, fire company, security force, kitchens providing some 10,000 meals daily, butcher shop, bakery, a laundry processing 12 ton of laundry a day, tailor, sewing, mending, and repair shops, and its own printing shop. Responsible for planning and operating this complex community and aided by an advisory Board of Trustees appointed by the Governor is the Superintendent, Leopold A. PPotkonski, M.D. A staff of 896 'persons divided into many administrative and clinical departments is responsible to, and the responsibility of, the superintendent. He must ~o the job with an annual budget, currently approximately 7,100,000 dollars. Each patient is thus provided for in terms of food, clothing, living areas, medical and psychological care, training, education and recreation opportunities, at a cost of approximately $7.30 per day. Many clinically-oriented departments work together in providing the best care and treatment possible, Nursing Service is responsible for the

Our initial purchase with this was the NEW YORK TIMES on microfilm for 1969, a current subscription on real problem is how to withdraw troops without creating a political crisis in Europe. So much for the news. My (unrenewed) subscription to US NEWS will finally terminate this month, and very possibly this proposed weekly column along with it. The result and moral of this article may only be that when I join the crowd that's moving with TIME, I will still be filling up my mailbox with notices from US NEWS asking me to renew. It's mail, anyway. by Helen Sefranek '72
· daily living situation; the Medical Department for physical and mental health; the Psychology Department for proper placement within the institution, counseling, therapy and tutorial services; the Education Department for training and academic schooling, where possible; the Social Service Department serves as a liaison between the institution and the family; the Vocational Rehabilitation Department works with employers and the community to provide jobs and living placements for persons leaving Pennhurst; the Activities Department helps residents find worthwhile leisure activities and basic skills in craft, sports, and music. The Psycho-Sensory Habilita ti on Department provides vision services, hearing services, language and speech therapy and interdisciplinary services, such as music therapy, physical and occupational therapy; the Chaplaincy provides spiritual guidance for residents of 3 faiths, and the Volunteer Resources Department helps all clinical sections by providing regularly serving, trained volunteers, as well as many materials and other services of direct benefit to patients. Other noteworthy projects include the Town-Pass Program, Patient Work-for-Money projects, Patient Committees and Councils, Programs, Day Camp and other camping programs. Scouting, The Clothes Tree Shop and The Work Activities Center. All of the projects, all of the departments, all of the personnel, all of the facilities are pointed toward the same goal: that of providing as healthy and happy a life as possible for, and _ developing the greatest possible living potential of all of the residents of Pennhurst State School and Hospital.

We have also ordered a badly needed card catalog, and will order reference works of general interest with the balance of this money. Our second gift was $300 from the Sears Roebuck Foundation. With this we are purchasin~ books in various subject fields that are indexed in the ESSAY AND GENERAL LITERATURE INDEX, since for a library of this size the F.SSA Y INDEX provides such excellent coverage to so much subject material not included in the card catalog. After May 15th we will start ordering books that will be charged to departmental budgets for fiscal 1970/ 71.
