CABRINI COLLEGE, RADNOR, PA.
Intense suffering has been imposed upon the children of Vietnam. As long as the war continues, there is little that any single individual can ~o to alleviate their suffering . THE COMMITTEE OF RESPONSIBILITY, INC . however is determined to act on behalf of some of these young sufferersthe war-burned and war-injured little ones of Vietnam, for whose anguish , we, as Americans, feel a deep responsibility. Motivated by a sense of humanity and justice and a concern for the welfare of the burned and injured Vietnamese children, THE COMMITTEE OF RESPONSIBILITY invites all Americans to participate in this effort. It is anticipated that the governments of the United States and Vietnam · will support this program. The program of THE COMMITTEE OF RESPONSIBILITY, INC., a voluntary, nonprofit organization, plans to obtain available facilities and services in the United States for the treatment and rehabilitation of war-burned and injured Vietnamese children who cannot be adequately cared for in Vietman.
Students Cabrini Graduate Prepares Cabrini Attempt toBridge To Hang Out Shingle Editor's Note: . . d Mary Ann Haflin, author of the followmg ar~1cle,.gra uated from Cabrini College with a B.A. degree m Biology and English. She offers her experience as an example .o~ how far determination and hard work can take a Cabr1m grad. "The almost Doctor" Haflin spoke to interested Cabrini students on November 23, 1970 at 7 P .M. in the library conference room. Ready for some astonishing , statistics? Less than 10% of practicing physicians in our nation today are women. Females occupy fewer than 10% of the seats in our medical colleges . Contrast these figures with the fact that in countries such as Poland, Germany, Czechslovakia, and the USSR women make up greater than 50%, and often as high as 5 % , of the total medical force of the ·nation. Then as~ "why?" Some factors contributing to this situation are that women in our "enlightened" society are often discouraged by family, counsellors, and peers against entering a field which has been, traditionally, -a masculine profession. Many secondary school and even college students are graduate nursing, medical technology, radiation technology, social work, and para-medical fields; but few are even informed of the tremendous opportunities open to them as physicians. Medical schools hesitate to accept women, especially those who may be married and those who may already have families, regardless of academic qualifications.
the author, am a woman and a graduate of Cabrini College. In May, 1971, I will receive my degree of Doctor of Medicine. I hope, through this message, to encourage other young women to investigate and to pursue this fascinating and rewarding career. Mary Ann Haflin Cabrini College of Pennsylvania '71
There is an opportunity now for Cabrini to expand itself outward. By this I do not mean its physical plant, but more specifically-moving out into the community. A program is now formulating whereby we, the students, with the aid of faculty and administration, will be · able to express our views on war, poverty, race relations, the economy and politics to the immediate adult community. The set-up would involve specific groups of students who will go into appointed :bomes and discuss the above ideas with the adults.
Summer Pre-Professional Traineeship Undergraduates, who will be juniors, senior or beginning graduate students by next Summer are invited to apply now for the 1971 Summer Pre-Professional Traineeships at The Devereux Schools, a group of residential, multidisciplinary, treatment, remedial education and rehabilitation centers . Summer traineeships for appointment as a Research Aide, Professional Aide, Resident Camp Counselor and Day Camp Counselor-Tutor are available at the Pa. branch, in suburban Philadelphia. A few traineeships may at Devereux be available branches and camps located in : North Anson, Maine - Santa Barbara, California Hot Springs, Arkansas - Victoria, Texas - and Rutland, Massachusetts . The deadline for filing applications is Jan. 15, 1971 and acceptances will be announced by Feb. 15, 1971. Tax-exempt training stipends of up to $200 per month and room and board for a 2-3 month period are offered to unmatried qualified applicants who are U. S. citizens. Trainees can ·count on the entire amount of the tax exempt stipend (from $375-$600) with no deductions . The traineeships are supported, in part, by a grant from the U.S. Rehabilitation Services Administration and are designed to provide an orientation to career opportunities for work with the mentally retarded and the emotionally disturbed in special education and vocational rehabilitation. in psychological services, in related areas of mental health and in service-oriented research in these fields.
Holiday Dance Planned The annual Holiday Dance will be held on Friday, December 4, at the Holiday Inn in King of Prussia, from nine to one thirty a.m. Music will be provided by the "Goodwill". Tickets are on sale now in the cafeteria or in the dorms by a member of the Social Committee . The cost is $6.00 per couple, and favors will be given out at the time of purchase. All are invited to attend.
Cabrini, because of its residential proxiqiity, has many opfor experimenting portunities and developing new methods of learning and social action.
Apply For Summer Trainee Program Now
There is at present, however, • a tremendous upsurge in public availiability of health .care and the quality of life in America today . Women are beginning to be looked upon as a great untapped resource. Medical Schools are being pressured to expand enrollment to meet these needs. Women should and will be in the forefront to fill these places only if they are aware that medicine is open to them as a career. Anyone truly concerned about the physical, emotional, social, and environmental well-being of others should seriously consider medi- cine as a career and be aware as the individual desires to widen it . I speak of these issues through perso;1al experience. I,
The Education Gap
The Traineeships cover a fulltime period of training combined with applied service-oriented work experience and observation of on-the-spot "milieu (Continued on Page 2)
The purpose behind the entire program is to bridge the "education gap" by attempting to form some understanding of diverse points of views. It is needless to say that it wquld be beneficial to all involved. · Hopefully this would be a positive way of making ourselves known to the community and simulateneously adding another dimension to our education. It is also extremely important that we maintain a loose structure in order to be flexible and mobile. The program will be initiated next semester, but a general coordinating meeting will be held for all those who are interested in the near future.

\-\ow O,o You. .Spe:Nn '/tJu.R.TI,ANl<SGIVINC? Cabrini Opinions and Letters Rebutal Made to Anon. Male Fiaculty Member Dear Editor, I feel compelled to respond to the statements made by the anonymous "male member of the faculty" as reported in the article "Women Liberation Viewed" by Maureen Ryan. First, I find a startling contrast between the male faculty member's sweeping generalization that "so called womens (sic)-libers are frustrated 'menwomen'," and the desire of the female faculty member to avoid stereo-types of any sort. "Being close-minded," the lady is reported to have asserted, "will not get us anywhere." How much more rational and fairminded the female faculty member's statements are! She asks that no one be stereo-typ- \ ed, and our colleague immediatedly obliges her by stereotyping all women-libers. This is the type of generalization which can only be made when one has not examined a object thoro,ughly. Let me make a personal response to this generalization . I am a "women's-liber." Were I not, I doubt I would be teaching, either her·e at Cabrini, or anywhere. However, I have no desire to be a man. I am very much aware of the fact that I am a woman: I relish my "wo-
manlyness ." What I do not enjoy, however, is the feeling held by society that because I am a woman I am automatically and completely inferior to any man. All that I am seeking through women's lib is the right for me and all other women to lead our lives as we choose, unfettered by arbitrary restrictions based on bur lack of brute physical strength. Next, my colleague condemns women-libers for failing "even as sex symbols." It seems as though my colleague feels that it is a primary function of every woman to "make it" as a sex symbol. Does he, I wonder, feel that it is a primary function of every man to succeed as a sex symbol? My colleague next makes the simplistic statement that men and women are different. I'm glad he noticed. So have I. But I object to the fact that these differences have been held to differences . Here, qualitative again, women because they are different, are felt to be inferior. I will not divert attention from my ooint by belaboring the fact that the idea that to be different is to be inferior has been held about Blacks, Jews, and other oppressed peoples. However, I do concede that my col-

November 26, 1970, Thanksgiving is a big day in America. Many people neglect to recall the story of the first Thanksgiving. The Plymouth colonists had a hard winter but with spring came a huge corn harvest and a feeling of hope. On July 30, 1623, Governor Bradford decreed that a three day feast be held. The Indians came because they liad helped the colonists and there was plenty of feasting and prayers of thanks giving. The custom of Thanksgiving Day spread from Plymouth to other New England colonies. During the Revolutionary War, eight days were observed for victories. On November 26, 1787, George Washington issued a general proclamation for Thanksgiving, and the Protestant Church announced that the First Thursday in November be a day for giving thanks. It was decided that it was to be in the Fall because Fall is harvest time, a time of plenty. There was yet no regular, national Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Some states celebrated Thanksgiving, others did not. Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale, the editor of Godey's Lady's Book pressed to promote the idea of a national Thanksgiving Holiday. Finally, President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November, 1863, as "a day of thanks giving and praise to our beneficient Father". Until 1941, the President of the United States proclaimed Thanksgiving day. Congress finally ruled in 1941 that the fourth Thursday of November be observed as Thanksgiving Day and be a legal federal holiday. The ,Thanksgiving of today is a time of family get togethers and huge feasts. One must not forget the'"elaborate Thanksgiving Day Parades held throughout the states. It is a day of visiting and talking about old times with old friends. For almost everyone it is a day of giving thanks, thanking God for fame, fortune, or happiness . In modern times, where aations speak louder than words, Thanksgiving should be more than a group of prayers. You should recollect that although you had been fortuna t e this year, there are others who have not. There is much suffering around you. What you take for granted would be a luxury for some. There are people lacking in their basic needs. If you are thankful for what you have, share it with those less fortunate than you, whether it be in fortune, knowledge, or just friendliness. A little kindness goes a long way, and you will feel better for it. It is true that Thanksgiving is over for this year, but it is never too late to express you gratitude, especially if it is dqne to help your fellow man. Incidentally Kitchen, congratulations on the good job .at the Mother Cabrini dinner and the candlelight ' dinner November 19th. Keep it up. I AM FULL
Food IsThe Topic
Dear Editor, Are some people really so hard to please? I am speaking of "I. M. Hungry". Granted, some of the meals have been pure garbage, but the food service is trying to improve. In a community of 400 students, especially girls, it's impossible to please everyone. And I haye yet to taste cafeteria or even restaurant food that tasted like mother used to make. Maybe with a little encouragement instead of criticism, "I.M. Hungry" will get some results.
league is right in feelil)g that rue equality between men and women will never be achieved, so long as the emphasis on differences draws men and women apart. Finally, my male colleague asks, "How many women's-libers are happily married?" I ask, "Why should a woman's happiness be defined only in terms of marriage?" Men are allowed success and happiness outside of marriage, if this is their choice. I ask the same right for women . My male collegue says that women's-libers should be concerned with human rights; I say they are. Cecilia D .A. Ready, Assistant Professor Department of English

Dear Food Service, It's bad enough when the meals during the wee)c are "trash", but when the meals "prepared" for those who stay on the weekends aren't even good trash, it's time for something to be done . Will we ever see the end of leftovers, or the beginnings of warm meals. Will we ever see the end of puddings that are so solidified that you can't even shake them out of the dish. And . . . the formal dinner was excellent, until it was seen that as soon as everyone had their first serving, the remammg meat was taken away so fast that not even the aroma could be found. It seems that most everything you do is "half-baked" in more ways than one. Why don't you at least TRY cooking your food, instead of just heating it up. Or to go further, why don't you try serving the meals AT LEAST semi-warm. Anything would be an improvement. Dogs can find better "food" in the gutter. Sincerely, I.M. Hungry

Book Review
'70 '71 Co-chairmen
by Eileen O'Brien
Mrs . John M. Doman , Jr. of Buttonwood St., Norristown, has been named co-chairman of the 1970-71 Cabrini College Alumnae Annual Giving Drive. She joins last year's chairman, Mrs . John ' J. Gibbons of Glen Ridge Rd., Havertown, in leading this year's campaign .
Points of Rebellion by William 0. Douglas
I
I
0. Douglas, bestWilliam known liberal Justice of the Supreme Court speaks out on the rebellion that is sweeping our universities, our nation and the entire world. Justice Douglas speaks out on behalf of the youth today and feels the young people are right to rise up against poverty, segregation, inequitable laws, inadequate education, the pollution of the world and the political system. He points out that although violence is not constitutionally sanctioned, often times it is the only effective . way to get responses to grievences which accumulate. It is my opinion that William 0. Douglas wrote Points of Rebellion as a warning to the people of the .world of the "impending and inevitable" revolution in the nation, unless the Establishment responds to the urgency of current protest. He successfully enumerated many of the current ·problems of the nation, which is an accomplishment , and he offered his opinion concerning these situations, which although not unique, is logical. My only disappointment in this book is that he, like many of us, is quick to criticize our malignancies, however, offers no solutions. Looking to the brighter side, perhaps his intention is to give us the facts and through working together hopefully we will find the answers.
A goal of $5000 was announced by the alumnae association's executive board . Gifts will be apportioned for a scholarship endowment fund to be used beginning in 1980 for daughters of alumnae, in addition to a scholarship fund for immediate use. Also, the alumnae will designate a third of their receipts for the ;pecific use of the college president . Alumnae Annual Giving is the second of Cabrini's development drives to be kicked off in recent weeks. The Parents Program announced a goal of $15,000 in October. In addition to these programs of internal support , the development program will benefit from its recently announced membership in the Foundation for Independent Colleges Inc. of Pennsylvania, which has the financial support of business and industry in the Commonwealth.

Geoffrey Chaucer Lampoons Newsmaker By Jerry
Boyle
Mr. Geoffrey Chaucer, noted author, is in town this week to "appear on the Mike Douglas Show. Mr. Chaucer came to this country to help · promote his latest work, Liberated Women Fact or Fiction, (with a foreword by The Wife of Bath.) This reporter managed to interview Mr. Chaucer and get his opinion of America . Of main interest to him were today's news-makers . Here's what Geoffrey Chaucer thought of : Nixon: " . . . and how he fled and escaped from all the press .. ." (The House of Fame.) Agnew: "He uttered his opin~ ions pompously, ever tending to the increase of his own profit . .. " (Merchant - Prologue of the Canterbury Tales.) Mrs. John Mitchell, wife of the Attorney General: "A fool cannot be silent." (Parliament of Birds.) David Eisenhower: "His locks were cur led as if laid in a press."

View Through The Window By Mary Jane Sullivan I am now faced with the problem of what to write. The window seems cloudy today or maybe it's me. Ah, the moods of a college student! 0.K. pen its time to move. Write on. Imagine the state of shock if Cabrini students decided to pull the strike of all times . Picture the scene : television cameras, news reporters, administration and faculty up in arms as the students shout, "One, two, three, four we don't want no food no more!" The English Department is especially upset due to the fact that they prefer good grammar to good taste even though taste is a primary issue in this campaign for student rights. According to the latest reports there has been no mediation . The feeling of community strength is forcefully present in the attitudes of each hungry student. The college has been declared a disaster area, and if something is not done immediately, the administration and faculty will begin to starve. It still remains
to be seen if the forces of law will be called in. As of this writing it seems that it will be inevitable that it will be in order to keep the enthusiam of this strike behind the iron fences of Cabrini.

Ronstadt Performed Linda Ronstadt was at the I Main Point Nov~mber 10th and 11th, drawing a capacity crowd. Before the show there was a champagne press party, sponsored by Capital Records , which was attended by neighboring newspapers and radio stations . Her excellent, though short, performance was met with enthusiastic response . Miss Ronstadt's singing ability is matched only by the unique way she captivates her audience by rapidly moving from one number to the next. Among her selections was her recent hit, "Long, Long Time."

Assuming that the majority of your sensory receptors are functioning, by now you have at least heard, if not seen the activities of the · Social Action Program . S.A .P. conducts a tutoring program for the children from the Mt. Pleasant Community, who are students of Stratford Elementary School. The program is held on Monday , Tuesday, and Wednesda" afternoons from 3:45 p .m. until 5:00 p .m. The main objective of the program is to provide the children with an opportunity to receive assistance with their school work and to channel their creative talents through arts and crafts. Joanie Mitchell, '73 of Bethlehem, Pa. is in charge of Arts and Crafts . Three years experience as a playground director in the summer provides Joanie with a storehouse of ideas for the project.
Through the generosity and interest of Cabrini's §tudents we have been able to increase the number of children and tu' tors involved by 200% over last year. Also assisting us this year
are the men from DPE fraternity of Villanova. Under the leaDaly, the dership of Frank members of DPE have been most helpful in transporting the children to and from campus daily. However their involvement with the children, especially the young boys, has been the cause for the increase of children attending. The Social Action Program is grateful to all the tutors for their enthusiasm and involvement. S.A .P. also welcomes new members. Please contact Eileen Ryan , Counsel Hall, if interested .

In a move designed to emphasize the positive aspects of learning, Wofford College has altered its grading system by d ro pp ing the grades of D and F beg inn ing this fall . In t he place of these m ar k s, gr ade s of "Placement Cr edit only " (PL) and "No Credit " (NC) will be given. The grad es A . B and C will be maintaine d . Under the new system . th e entire grade point ratio system, which has been used as a factor in determining whether a st udent is eligible for graduati on , will be aboli shed. The former sy st em made it nearly impo ssib !e to offset D's and F's with good gr ades. In lieu of the grade point ratio previously required , candidat es for degrees will be re qtd red to accumulate 120 sem este r hours worth of credit with gr ades of C or better in order to graduate. Beginning this fall, any- student making a PL in a course during the regular semester will receive no semester hours toward the needed 120 for graduation, but will complete the particular requirement if the course ,is required for graduation. Students earning an NC in one of these courses will re- · ceive no semester hours of credit and no completion of the satisfaction of the requirement . These required courses will have to be repeated until at least a grade of PL is ea;ned . If the course is an elective course, there is no requirement to repeat the course and some other course may be taken to earn the necessary semester hours . Dean of the College, Joe M. L-csesne, is quick to point out the new system is not lowering the standards at the college. "If the new grading system is honestly and stringently applied, as . I have every reason to believe it will be, the effect should be that it will improve learning and therefore standards ."
