The following article appeared in The Sunday Bulletin, May 2, 1965, and is reprinted with the permission of The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. of - actress The selection Sophia Loren for the movie role of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini has been protested by the president and faculty of Cabrini College, Radnor Township. Miss Loren was referred to as "the worst possible choice to portray a holy woman" in a letter the college sent to Metro Goldwyn Mayer International, Inc., which is planning a film on Mother Cabrini, the only U.S. citizen to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church . The letter was sent to Robert H. O'Brien, president of ¡ MGM, by Mother Ursula, president of the college, and her faculty and administration. A nun for 50 years, Mother Ursula, as a high school student, knew Mother Cabrini , for whom the college is named. Mother Ursula said last night that she was aware of the acfion of a Rome court last week in holding Miss Loren and producer Carlo Ponti for trial on bigamy charges. "I know about the bigamy charges," Mother Ursula said, pointing out that they were mentioned in newspapers. Under the circumstances, the nun continued, she couldn't understand how Miss Loren could play the part of a saint. "She may be a very good actress, but she's not the type, doesn't have the physique," said Mother Ursula. "Mother Cabrini was a small, slender woman," she explained. "Miss Loren is bulky." Mother Ursula said she first learned that Miss Loren had been cast in the role of Mother Cabrini from newspaper clippings shown her by some of
SGA Elections The recent SGA elections resulted in the election of Lex Menendez as president, Ruth Ann Accordino as vice-president, Jo Mulloy as corresponding secretary, Chris Kasian as recording secretary and Peggy Dalton as treasurer. Katie McGill was re-elected to SAC. Lex's platform was based on the students. She was seeking the presidency in enthusiasm, but no idle promises were made . She ascertained that student knowledge and action are the necessary and only basis for a strong student government. Her final slogan was: Our Promise is Us; Our Platform is You! Lex, who is convalescing after a week at Wills Eye Hospital, was vice-president of her freshman class, treasurer of SGA in her sophomore year, a member of PSEA, and she is president of the Athletic Basketball Association. Ruth was member of Cast & Script, vicepr~sident of Kappa Sigma Omega, and is presently Social Committee Chairman and a member of the Psychology Club. Jo Mulloy was a member of dorm council in her freshman year, resident representative in '70'71, vice-president of her sophomore class and member of the Social Action Committee. Chris Kasian was an active member of the basketball team in her freshman year, and is presently a member of the History club, the Social Science club, and the Council of College Affairs. Peggy Dalton was a member of Cast & Script and the lorm council in her freshman year and also Kappa Sigma Omega. She is presently a member of PSEA and President of her class. Katie McGill was resident representative in her freshman year, president of her freshman class, student activity chairman in 1971, a member of the Academic Council and the Intercollegiate Council.

the college students. "All of those who have heard about it, the faculty and the students, are upset," Mother Ursula said. Mother Ursula said she telephoned O'Brien to protest the selection of Miss Loren for the role. She said she wanted to speak to O'Brien personally . "I was unable to talk with him," Mother Ursula said. She said she didn't know whether O'Brien was available at his office at the time. "Mr. O'Brien's secretary told me to write a letter," she continued. "And that's what I've done." Mother Ursula said no repre sentatives of MGM have talked with her or anyone at the college about the life of Mother Cabrini. The letter to O'Brien said : "We, the undersigned, administration and faculty of Cabrini College, wish to register our protest and displeasure at the selection of Sophia Loren to play the part of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini in your forthcoming film of M6tfier Cabri--ni's life. "We feel very strongly that Miss Loren is the worst possible choice to portray a holy woman." MGM's assistant publicity director, Emety Austin, said in New York last night that the protest "comes as news to us." He said that MGM has had an arrangement with Ponti to coproduce the film "for some tirne." "We made the -announcement on the production ten days or two weeks ago," Austin continued. "The production of the film is still sorn~ time off. "But at this point," said Austin, "Miss Loren is definitely part of the package." He added, "She's good at the box office."

EDITORIALS Signs Of Decadence by LEW DiFELICE Ash trays spill cigarette butts onto the grime- streaked floor, mingling with discard ed candy wrappers. Tables are strewn wit h empt y soda cans and dirty glasses. At twilight, trash is the only occupant of the room. Only few transient people pass through the room oblivious to the litter. Sound like a subway station or the lobby of a cheap hotel? Wrong, it is the student lobby in Sacred Heart Hall . The lounge was established to provide some comfort to the footweary day hops. It should be remembered that the lounge was a result of hard work on the part of a student committee last year. This year some students are working equally as hard turning it into a trash dump. Maybe this year we should demonstrate for maid service! I realize that an untidy student lounge will not be the immediate cause for the "Decline and Fall" of Cabrini but this writer believes that the condition of the student lounge mirrors a specific attitude of Cabrini. It is an attitude of non-caring and non-involvement in school affairs. Cabrini is as far removed from Consciousness III that it is in the negative numbers. Beyond a desultory attendance
(or non-attendance) at classes, all but a few s!udents are blissfully unaware and unearing about most school functions or issues except meals and date s. Attendance at S.G.A. and C.C.A. meetings number into the two's or three's. The school play will most probably be cancelled due to lack of interest, etc., etc., ad nauseum. At times, the student body is the worst impediment to making Cabrini a progressive school. Oh heresy you cry! How can a conservative administration be prodded by a lifeless and uncaring student body? Only a dynamic student body, truly interested in the welfare of the school can bring about progressive change. (Interested in the welfare of Cabrini does not mean preserving the status quo.) If Cabrini is to ever advance beyond its present state, the students will have t~ get off their dead asses, and press for constructive change. Remember, without students, Cabrini would be nothing more than real estate and a few buildings. With the present student body, Cabrini is only real estate and a few buildings. If we don't change Cabrini will never amount to anything but real estate and a few buildings.

Sex vs. Grapes The war has dragged on for' almost twenty-five years . The women have been oppressed and neglected by their husbands who are constantly away fighting . One woman proposes a novel and radical idea to end the war and free women from their oppression-complete abstinence from sex! Thus , 2,400 years ago, did Aristophanes' Lysistrata propose to end the Peloponessian War. This past weekend , Haverford and Bryn Maw r Colleges presented a modernized version of Lysistrata. The women of Athens and Sparta have had no say in the affairs of state and have no political power to end the war. Lysistrata 's (Valerie Norsius) solution is a sexual boycott. Her compatriots are the irreverent, inebriated Kleonike (Adrienne George), the beautiful but dumb Myrrhine, and the busty, bucolic Lampito (Susan Mary) . Lysistrata, after overcoming her friends' initiql reluctance, l.~ads them in the capturing of Acropolis. There they will wait until their men make peace. A chorus of old men attempt to re-establish the honor of Greece but are soundly de-
feated. The Athens police force is also trounced . The men can no longer stand the pain . The ambassadors of Sparta and Athens, hobbled by inflamed phalluses (represented by elongated red balloons, finally conclude a treaty of l)t!ace. All the characters were more than adequate for their parts. Outstanding were Valerie Norsius, who played Lysistrata with alternating seriousness and tongue in cheek. The chorus of men and women were particularly convincing in their inflections and mannerisms . The productio;i itself captured the bawdy and outrageous aspects of Aristophanes' play. Aristophanes meant to shock people, and the Haverford-Bryn Mawr production would draw X-ratings from a movie censor . The highlights of their play is the scene between Myrrhine and her husband . The pathetic Kienesios, bloated with desire ,· be·gs his wife for satisfaction. Myrrhine, teasing him unmercifully, brings him repeatedly to the brink of satisfaction, but each time she draws back, until Kienesios, half out of his mind with desire, swears to make peace . However, the act on that was
place. The bulldozers have been contracted, the pond dredged, a dock constructed . Ah, yes, what is to be said .. for the sparrows have fled. The community has come in station wagons with picnic lunches , and beach umbrellas . the absolute highspot of the night was when the balloon of an actor burst as he was walking offstage . The real success of Lysistrata is its timelessness . It tells about war and inequality in the Fifth Century , B.C. in Greece . Yet, it mirrors the social conditions of contemporary America. Senseless wars, misguided national priorities, and inequality between the sexes have not di$appeared in th~ 2,400 years since the writing of Lysistrata. Sensible measures failed in Greece so Aristophanes came up with a hypothetical solution . America has not progressed much since the time of Aristophanes . Dissenters have tried various types of strikes to right America's wrong, but to little avail . Now is the time to strike at the very heart of American society . Boycott sex, not grapes. Sound absurd? Maybe. But, who knows until it is tried? L.D .
Male Call Greetings from sunny Viet Nam, We would like to request your help in solving one of our m~st pressing morale problems! One of the most depre ssi ng thmgs a G.I. can experience is r et urning from "Mail Call" empty-handed. A few of us came up with an idea th at might possjbly solve that problem. Obviously, a G.I. would rather receive a letter from a real live, honest -to-goodnes s, redblooded, round-eyed American FE MALE than anyone else. N_ow,our problem boils down to th is, how do we get enough ~rls from back home to write to us? Especially, enough girls to go around the ~.. to 1/.!million guys presently st ationed in Viet Nam. We put our heads together and came up with the idea of a contest. We planned on two major categories, Letter and Photo, with both subdivided into smalle r grOUI;Js.After pooling our r esources, we fou nd that we could aftord Star Sapphire ring s (real) , for the two major winn ers and ten sets of silk slack sets for the ru nne r-ups . The main idea is to try to get as many girls as possible to writ e and let the guys here know they haven't been forgot ten . The rules are simple, each entr ant mu st be fema le, oYer 17, and send a snap-shot of her self if at all possible. Contest deadline is 15 Dec. 71. The cat egorie s are as follows: LETTER CONTEST 1. GENERAL-Judged on the basis of being int eresting, informative, and friendly. Don't sweat the gramma r, it's the idea that counts . 2. HUMOROUS-An open category judged on the amount of chuckles it produces. 3. CATCH-ALL-Any letter that doesn't fit the other categories . 4. MIND BLOWERS-Any t hing goes and t he sky is t he limit. Psych us out, gross us out, or generally blow our minds-if you can! ! PHOTO CONTEST 1. BEAUTY-This is hard to judge, especiall y since beauty and sex appeal tend to overlap, but we will j udge strictly on "Good Looks" alone . We will cre at e a separat e category for sex appeal. 2. SEX APPEAL-Since we promised this categor y, here it is. The winner will simply be the sexiest picture we receive. 3. HUMOROUS-CANDID-The funniest photo wins . 4. MIND BLOWERS-The "Fartherest Out" flick takes the prize. (This has to be a photo of the entrant herself and if you blow our minds, you will hold the record.) Also, a secondary contest for the most novel Child's toy sent to us will win an ivory bracelet (real), and all toys will be donated to "Save the Children" hospital in Qui Whon, Viet Nam. These kids appreciate them and they can definitely use them as they have so little themselves. All entries should be sent care of: T. C. Parker HHT, 7-17th AIR CAV APO 96226 San Francisco, California Sincerely, Tom Parker P.S. We thank you for your help and support and sincerely hope that everyone gets in the act soon.

yearly nearly die of dreariness when June. It's refreshing to see one that's paper mill-one without pictures of their brothers crammed onto a divan, full-backs in their varsity drag, and shining teeth and pimpleless complex-
But last June, along came "Gumbo," a product of Louisiana State University and one of yearbooks. the first X-rated "Gumbo" got itself into producing an honest representation of campus life. Maybe she was too honest. Included in . the book was a photograph of a red, white and 'blue marijuana cigarette; a series of satires on such sanctions as motherhood, and four photos of nudes taken in art classes, which changed the book's rating from R to X. "Gumbo" was a partial success. Students loved the book and, for the first time in the college's history, "Gumbo" went into a second printing. The State Legislature, however, wasn't so pleased. A resolution of disapproval was passed. Said one legislator, who once attacked the teaching of Shakespeare in the school system, "I've never seen more nasty pictures. A student cannot show it to his little brothers and sisters." And the LSU student-body Cryptic is our college literary magazine. We have un~ limited possibilities to produce an excellent edition. If you write poetry, prose, or if your ar.tistic talents include photography or drawing, please feel free .to submit your work. You may deposit them in the Cryptic Box above the student mailboxes or give them to Mary Jane Sullivan. The deadline for all work is the last week in February. -===========-===~-t
president retorted, "Anyone who thinks that book has pornographic value hasn't seen very very much good pornography." "Gumbo" follows an inevit~ble student press pattern. Four years ago, campus papers ran what .were labeled "obscene" words, back when the watchword , "telling it like it is," was telling it as it was. Now it seems that yearbooks have gotten in the picture by getting in the pictures of nude 'bodies, student smoking habits and other aspects of life on campus. Maybe one provocative picture is worth a thousand four-letter words.
If you appreciate good blues, packaged and delivered, give a listen to Bonnie Raitt on Warner Bros. She's managed to re-do a little blues history recording live in the country with friends, coming up with a fresh, spontaneous feeling. Bonnie Raitt, recently at the Main Point, spoke about the album, explaining that taping live, as they did in a garage, eliminated the pressures of a recording studio where much of this spontaneity is stifled. Thi~ freedom enabled the musicians to come up with a really enjoyable album, nicely balanced with two well arranged originals, smooth down home blues and some "just nice to . listen to" selections. One of the pleasures is Bonnie's acoustical work which includes good slide guitar playing. The album is a compository of sound musicianship, creating a feeling that comes from people who enjoy what they're playing. If it is not possible to see Bonnie live, pick up the album. It's been a long time since a contemporary female blues singer and player has made such an excellent contribution to the musical profession.
Univer~ity Experiment Beginning in the fall of 1971, the State University of New York will offer 'students the opportunity to earn college degrees without ~ttending traditional structured classroom sessions at a specific campus of the State University. The college-without-walls, known as the Empire State College, is modeled after Britains' Open University. Under the new arrangement, students will be able to enter programs at anytlffie' throughout"the-ryear by "contracting" for courses ranging in duration from one month to several years. New York State Chancellor Dr. Ernest L. Boyer explained that two college centers were established in Albany and Rochester by October 1st.

major concentrations and coui:s.e will be offered in the areas of anthropology, economics, English, fine arts, geography, mathematics, philosophy, and sociology. Students will be encouraged to pursue interdisciplinary and problem-oriented studies. Students also will have the opportunity to integrate into their academic programs, accomplishments and experiences not ordinarily part of campus study. These may include on-the-job experiences in business or industry, organized and supervised volunteer activskills gained ities, language through special programs or travel, and apprenticeship positions . Empire State College students will work closely with faculty mentors attached to the learning centers nearest their homes, as well as with tutors who will provide guidance in course work. Each student's programs will be worked out in cooperation with his mentor and reviewed by other faculty members. Although students may spend some time on one or several university campuses in weekend seminars, most academic work will be carried on at home or in other non-campus situations.

An Exploration of The Protest Movement Kappa Sigma Omega will be sponsoring "The Damned " January 17-19, in the Day Hop Lounge. ' In 1968, when Luchino Visconti was in New York to direct "The Marriage of Figaro" at the Metropolitan Opera House he observed, "I have the impression that the ferment amoni young people in the United States is more sincer~ than perhaps it is elsewhere . Here the concrete protest against the war in Viet Nam is one I can understand. I feei that protest can be both beneficial and necessary under certain condition." I Since that time, Visconti has written and directed "The Damned," a Warner Bros. drama, which states unequivocably Visconti's views on the value of protest.

Bryn Mawr College is again sponsoring two summer programs abroad for men and women college students - one in Spain and the other in -southern France. Both are directed by Bryn Mawr professors, with faculties drawn from universities and colleges in this country and Europe. The programs, offering intensive work is significant aspects of the culture of each country, begin in mid-June and will continue for six weeks. The ·Institut d'Etudes Francaises in Avignon is now in its eleventh year; the program is designed primarily for those who expect to engage in professional careers- requiring a knowledge of France and French living. The Spanish program, the Centro de Estudios Hispanicos in Madrid, is now in its seventh year; it integrates academic study and immediate experience through a unique combination of course work, study excursions, tutorials, independent work and family living. Students live and take their meals with families living in Madrid or Avignon. The residential plan was developed in order to provide the best basis for fluency in the language and for acquiring a deeper knowledge of the life and customs of the country. Classroom work is supplemented with lectures given by scholars in art, literature, history and the social scienees. At the end of the six weeks there is a period of free travel when students may arrange practical projects in their own .fields, particularly in art and archaeology. A limited number of scholarships are available for both programs. For information regarding admission, write to the Director of the Centro or the Director of the Institut, at Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania 19010.

BURGLARS, PROWLERS, BOYFRIENDS, BEW ARE!! There are 31 girls at Cabrini who have decided to take protection into their own hands. They've enrolled in a Karate class to be conducted every Tuesday and Thursday nights in the gym. The course is given by Richard Sands, who has a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Karate. At the first lesson Mr. Sands taught the girls how to fall asleep in five minutes by relaxing themselves completely. There are some teachers around that can do it faster though. Karate is defined as "the act of punching and kicking," which could prove to be very interesting in the next few months. Just think: If your roommate gets on your nerves just throw her across the room, or if the party you're at died ten minutes ago, you can really liven things up by throwing a couple of people around. It can be helpful, too , at the "Beef, " if the bouncer won 't let you in because your proof says 6'1" and you are only 5'2" . Just flip him over your shoulder and he won't bother you. There's even a rumor going around that if we don't get more security soon, Karate may be a required course next semester.

Riverside Theatre Makes It; College Grads Devote Time Riverside Theatre, located at 2601 Lombard Street, has been in operation - less than two months. But in these two months it has assembled a cast of twenty local actors and a staff of .fifteen. It has extensively renovated its theatre, the former stage of the Pocket Playhouse, rebuilt the seats to allow excellent sight from all areas of the theatre, and installed a new lighting system. Now in 1the midst of this new theatre a realistic mid-Victorian home is coming to life for the upcoming production of The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife. To complete this mammoth amount of preparation within two months requires far more manpowe'r and money than the average little theatre can muster. The Riverside Theatre, however, is fortunate on both scores. "Because of the current unemployment situation," said director Ernest Schreiber, "we have attracted many bright, young college graduates-particularly in the humanitieswho have imagination and enthusiasm but no place to use them in the marketplace. In the old Horatio Alger tradition, they are determined to build a professional-quality theatre from the bottom up. Most of our peo-

staff and actors, Riverside Theatre is pledged to present its productions at prices inflationstruck Philadelphians can afford. "A price of four or five dollars per ticket can easily discourage even a mildly moneyconscious working man or student from taking a night out at the theatre," commented Business Manager Frank Dolence. "So we've tried to keep our prices at half that rate." Riverside has planned further productions for
two this
season, one Greek and one Restoration comedy. It will continue its Punch and Judy puppet show, which is currently billed with The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife, on a regular basis for children. Beginning in January it will begin a series of play readings of Philadelphia area playwrights, similar to that of Hazel Wentworth's Washington Theatre Club.
