March! 1977
''Iakilg Careof Business" by Sue O'Hagan Cabrini College will soon take a major step in a new career direction. In the fall semester of 1977, a business administration major will officially be made a part of Cabrini's present curriculum. The program has been designed to provide the skills necessary for successful management or participation in the administration of a business organization. It has been noted that business is of prime interest to college students. As part of his work here, Mr. Rexford G. Moon, Jr., consultant from the Academy for Educational Development, outlined major programs of interest to college students. Business, health-allied studies and communications were high on
the list. Until recently, Cabrini has only offered the two latter programs. The possibility of a business administration program has been discussed by the Master Planning Committee for a number of years. Definitive action has never been taken. Until now! Initiative on the part of Mr. Moon and the administration has turned possibility into reality. Consequently, other bachelor of arts programs were studied in the initial phases. According to Dean Brown, it was thought that a "reasonable job" could be done in dealing with the matter. Basically, the program has been "on its feet" from the ver~ beginning.
"It was more a matter of defining the program in a sequence of courses, than anything else," says Dean Brown. Most of the courses to be offered are already established parts of the Cabrini 's course offerings. Some of these would include: Accounting I, 11; Introduction to Computers; Principles of Micro- and Macroeconomics; and Statistical Techniques I, II. Business Law and Business Management and Organization are two newly designed courses for the program. Initially, part-time faculty with expertise in these areas will be hired. It is estimated that by 1979, full-time faculty members will be needed for the program. _(cont.p. 2}
Woman explains
''Why I want to be a priest'' by BarbaraPolomano In 1980, priests may be wearing dresses and pantyhose. An outrageous statement you say? Why, not at all! Most women do wear dresses and pantyhose. And it just might be that women will be priests with in the next few years. Mary C. Boys, a member of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, is one of many women looking forward to this possibility of reform in the Catholic Church. Ms. Boys spoke to students here on "Why I want to be a priest." In her talk, she stressed that the priesthood must "grow, be transformed and re-examined." Ms. Boys named four reasons why she feels women should be ordained. Her first reason is actually a simple question. "Why not? There is no
compelling, theological reason ¡ why women should not be," she says. The recent statement of the Vatican,
which rejected the notion of women becoming priests, was just arestatementof the policy which has always been in existence, Ms. Boys says. "It is theology that just doesn't hold up." She said that most theologians consider this latest Vatican decision to be a "poor piece of theology" and that seemingly, they (the Vatican) "are down to their last argument." Ms. Boys tells of 15 men who felt they had the answer to her "Why not?" She says that last June, the Pontifical Biblical Commission, consisting of 15 male Bibiical scholars, voted and declared on the basis of their research that there was nothing in Scripture which should serve as a bar to the ordination of women. Ms. Boys agrees. She says, "One can't move from a simple equation of what

Entertainment Music made by three colleges forms special program of pop, folk & religious by Cindi DeRitis· We all had a taste of a variety of music - traditional folk, Barbership, pop and liturgical - when the Cabrini College Choral Ensemble hosted the Notre Dame Chapel Choir and the Husky Singers from Bloomsburg State College. The Notre Dame Choir sang a Mass and Vesper Service on March 17 in the chapel. The choir, composed of 60 students directed by Seid Martin, is presently touring the eastern dioceses. They sing sacred and contemporary music for the Eucharistic and Evensong liturgies. The liturgical music they sang was written by David Clark lsele, organist,_
vocalist and composer. The Husky Singers is a group that is composed of 40 men under the direction of William Decker, Music Department chairman at Bloomsburg. Their program included these selections: "Rock-a-ma-soul" and "We Shall Walk Through the Valley in Peace" (arr. by Appling}, "The Hunter's Song," "A-Rovin" (arr. Walker), "Aura Lee" (arr. Hunter-Parker-Shaw) and some Barbershop Quartet selections. Both Cabrini's Choral Ensemble and the Huskey Singers sang together "Hosanna" from the rock-musical show "Jesus Christ Superstar."

Auction of choice collectibles to supplement ·Little Theatre by Betsy Hagen ·Going, going, gone!" That will be the call of the day when collector's items from all over the world will be auctioned off here April 16, at a public bazaar to benefit Cabrini College Little Theater . Sale of the decorative objects which were donated to the College early in its history , marks the first major fund-raising event scheduled by the Theater Development Committee. "Growth of the Little Theater is important and vital not only to Cabrini, but to the community in general," said committee chairperson Mrs. Carolyn Gough, citing attendance at the popular production of "Cinderella," which recently finished its run. Funds raised from Jablonski Collection sales will go toward an on-going goal of expanding and improving the existing facilities, according to Mrs. Gough, who is Director of Library Services. The sale will have two phases : a 1 p.m. auctio n handled by a professional in the field, which includes 150 of the choicest collectibles; and, a fixed-price sale of the remaining 1,000 or more pieces, starting at 10 a.m. A noon luncheon is to be served in the cafeteria. The collection, selected by the Jablonski 's during a quarter century of international travel, is comprised of fine quality ceramics, textiles and toys, as well as furniture, needlepoint, dolls and ivories. One especially handsome object is a games table from Damascus, suitable for chess and backgammon. Items not in the auction are to be displayed in booths with a multi-ethnic flavor, according to Mrs. Gough, who urged students to donate some time to the bazaar. "The volunteer hours would keep our expenses to a minimum and profits for the theater to a maximum." Help would be welcomed, and in fact, is urgently needed to man the booths, register bidders, collect money, assist the auction eer, supplement the security force, supervise parking, and so forth. Mrs. Gough said students who want to participate in the benefit for Little Theater may contact her .

College students in the 1960's were a unique group of people. Their days were not full of biology, chemistry and physics but of sit-ins and demonstrations. The college students of the 1970's whose days are filled with biology, chemistry and physics are quite a change from the students of the 1960's. The reasons for this change are very complex but they can be boiled down to this one statement: the college student of the world today is more responsible and much more aware of the world around her. Unlike the college student of the 60's who demonstrated when she disagreed with something in society or government, the college student of the 70's attempts to change what she does not like through the proper channels, whatever they may be. Right here on campus, students ' have the opportunity to try to alter the methods society and the government are presently using to solve the problems we are plagued with through some clubs and organizations. Such problems as world hunger and the plight of the migrant farm work are being aided by students who are members of Awareness.

Our cafeteria
Men and women who want to bt: prepared for the harsh world after they graduate can join the Women's Group. Through this club, students can learn how to combat such things as discrimination and rape - - problems that we are seldom faced with on campus. For those students who feel they really want to do something for other~ and make their own mark on the world, Outreach was developed. Through this project, students can work for a summer or a semester in a hospital, school, or other service organization, either in the United States or abroad, and possibly receive credits for their work. These are just a few clubs and organizations here at Cabrini which allow students to become more responsible towards world problems and social concerns. These clubs allow students to alter the policies that the g?vernment and society are using to solve the problems of the world. The college student of today is quite different from the college student of the 60's. We act on the social problems and concerns of today and not just pay lip service to them as students of the 60's did . Let's keep this trend going!

of problems by Fran MacDonald Riddle: What noted faculty member went to get up from the lunch table and found that her feet were stuck to the floor? Answer: The faculty member wishes to remain anonymous, but the problem does not. Is that cafeteria that dirty that your feet actually stick to the floor? Complaints about the food travel around periodically, and we all know by now, that you just can't please everyone. Everyone's taste in food is not the same, but I'm sure I can hazard the generality that everyone's taste in cleanliness is the same. Neither students or faculty have ever really complained before about dirty dishes. Usually, you just see the stacks of dirty salad bowls, coffee cups and silverware sitting to the side after they've been rejected by some ~queamish individual. After all, a few things might just slip through the dishwasher and since they go through a sterilization process, at least the germs might be dead. But, when it gets to the point where you pick up a glass and find a petrified lemon, that has gone through the entire process, its enough to make you want to stop eating completely. Dried eggs are another prime offender and sometimes what is found in the coffee cups and salad bowls can't even be identified. Moving on, past the eating utensils, the floors have already been mentioned, and the tables fall in the same category. Not only do feet stick to floors, books and papers stick to tables. It's easy to tell why, if you've ever seen the rags that are used to clean up after dinner. Finally, there is the ice cream area. After you sort through the dirty dishes, and try to decide what flavor has been stuck to the scoop for two days, you look at the ice cream, that has melted and been frozen; melted and been frozen, melted and been frozen. It's enough to make you turn to the cake.
Human"pieces'' raise funds by Ron Katkocin
Stars are born Jim Morrow and Madeleine Cahill are · both juniors and special education majors here at Cabrini College. They played the leading parts of Prince Charming and Cinderella in Cabrini's production of "Cinderella." Jim Morrowis a transfer student from Villanova University. He acquired his leading role much as a new-found movie star would. He was walking through Sacred Heart Hall one day and was asked by Dan Perna, who directed the play, if he had ever had any acting experience. Jim said no. Perna then offered the part of Prince Charming to him and asked him to audition. Two weeks later Jim auditioned and got the part. Jim says that "his biggest problem was learning to dance and sing." Although he
has had no prior stage experience he performed well and with confidence in himself. However, Ms. Cahill's rise to stardom was quite anothe ,· story. She has h:1cJ prior stage experience and developed her talents to the extent that when she auditioned for Cinderella she overshadowed her competitors. Madeleine performed in "Liliom" and "Picnic." Madeleine said, "I like acting but I wouldn't pursue it as a career because I'm involved in special education ." They both agree that their parts presented a lot of hard work. They had a fixed schedule on which they practiced at least 3 to 4 hours a day. These rehearsals were usually between themselves and in a place of solitude.

The Philosophy and History Clubs sponsored their "Second Annual Life-sized Backgammon Game" on March 11. Organized by Greg Pasquarello the game proved to be very interesting. The game, staged in the gym, pitted the Philosophy Club against the History Club. Greg represented the Philosophy Club and Sue Snyder, Jane Ellen Lutz, along with Dr. Jolyon Girard, represented the History Club. Members of the respective clubs acted as pieces on ttie gym floor which served as a backgammon board. Tom Nerney and Liz Reynolds operated the overhead projector so that the spectators could view the game from two perspectives, and Ron Katkocin acted as commentator. Each member of both clubs was to have obtained a number of sponsors to support him. The "pieces" were sponsored for ten cents a point with special provisions made for "gammoning" and "backgammoning." Proceeds for the Philosophy Club will go to the Larry Sedler Fund and those for the History Club will go to the Jane Schwartz Benjamin Memorial Scholarship. The game itself was a see-sawbattle - neither team taking too many chances. It went right down to the wire until Greg Pasquarello rolled doubles and cracked the game wide open. There was an excellent fan turnout and overall the event was termed a success.
·score was 23-8 and the essence of victory was in the air. Nerney and Cullen were · effectively working the fast break and the team passing was excellent. At the sound of the buzzer ending the first half, Tom scored his 998th and 999th career points. Spirit did not cease to continue at halftime. Eileen McKeever and Madeleine Cahill won the first and second prizes for "Fan Appreciation Night" and Margery Kraemer was presented with a trophy for being the most loyal fan throughout the last few seasons. Also, the team members presented the cheerleaders with a cake as a token of their appreciation.
The second half got off to a slow start. fhen, with 18:41 remaining in the season, Tom Nerney was viciously fouled on a fast break by a Valley Forge player . He converted his first foul shot for his 1,000th career point. The fans went wild. There was a three minute cheer and announcer Mike Walczak led an ovation . The final outcome was a 69-48 Cabrini victory. Nick Viggiano was team leader with 16 points and a 50% shooting average from the floor. Tom Nerney finished the night with 15.
The Senior Farewell:
_ A night to remember
.by MaureenLarkin
Dancing, drinking and merry making filled the halls of the Holiday Inn on Saturday, March 12th when the Senior Farewell took place. This annual activity began with a cocktail hour from seven until eight, followed by a delicious dinner which consisted ot chicken cordon bleu, string beans, a baked potato and a salad. The meal was finish'ed off with vanilla ice cream topped with creme de menthe. After the dinner hour, the crowd danced to the moving tunes of Surrender from nine till one. As a token of their appreciation for all the help the seniors have given to the sophomores through the big
sister/brother program, the sophomores presented the seniors with a daisy. In addition to their flowers, Fran MacDonald, senior class president, received a charm and Mike Walzcak was presented with the first Living Arts Society Service Award by Ray Crew. {Cominued from page 8}
Tom's coach, Dr.Jolyon P. Girard, has a high regard for Tom. "I think Tom is the best basketball player who has ever played at this school. It's not just his talent - he is dedicated to the team and he works on self-improvement. It's people like Tom Nerney who make coaching at Cabrini worthwhile."
The Job Interview:
Find out aboutyourself by Edda Pitassi The job interview is a most direct way to find out about the job and yourself. Let's look in on a recent meeting. "Our newspaper is bright, breezy and informative. Do you think you could write like that7" Remembering the essays and term papers she had struggled with only a few weeks ago, she said, "You mean like a gossip-type column." It was a half-question; her voice went up a little at the end. "It would be more than a gossip column," he offered. You'd be selling space in our weekly to the center city business people. Then, you would write about their various sales, spotlighting a few items in your column. "That's how you'd get to write." He lowered his eyes. Looking at the resume on his desk, he pushed it to one side. It was her turn. "WeiI. I never thought I had the
personality to ... " "I think you have the talent, you just never knew about it. You're just a little shy. A few sales will give you confidence." Confidence. The word rang in her head like a bell striking its appointed hour. She ¡ glanced at her watch. It was noon and she had been there for an hour. She bit her lip. "You've been doing that all morning," he said. "It's not at all attractive." She kept her eyes steady and level, but her back stiffened and she felt the blood rush to her face. "Since you are getting the full interview this morning," he said, "you might as well know that I have two or three porno theaters advertising with me. In an emergency, you might have to visit them. You wouldn't be embarrassed would you?" ' The comfortable, wooden desk stationed between them seemed to shrink
Geta job with initiative, creativity by Cindi De Ritis
How can a woman get a job today? According to Mrs. Susan Ford, Equal Opportunities Coordinator for the Chilton Co., Radnor, it isn't an easy task. job applicants are discriminated against because of age or some handicap. Women are discriminated against for both, but especially because of their sex. Title 7 of the Civil Rights Act is an attempt to protect the individual from discrimination. Despite discrimination, it is very important for a wcman to apply for a job in the proper way. The best way a woman can report for an interview is to be dressed very neatly - not in jeans or shorts, and to have a friendly attitude toward the employer. Punctuality i, <1 definite step in the right direction 1 Two othc1 things that Mrs. Ford felt could be beneficial to a woman when she goes on c1 joh interview is to have a resume, not more than two typed pages long, and to h.ivc the best samples of her

as they looked at one another. She swallowed some dry air and her thoughts quickly became words. It was her turn again. "I really don't think I could do that," she said. The thought, which declared itself like thunder in her mind, now sounded weak and limp . He never blinked, but added in his reassuring manner, "The other staff members don't mind. It's nothing after awhile." He looked down again at the resume he had pushed aside. In the silence that was rushing by, she was already planning on a late lunch and a brisk walk before going to her next appointment. She stood up, thanked him for his time and, as she opened the door to leave, he reminded her that she'd have her own column in a few weeks. She said she would call him in a few days. Walking to the elevator, she angrily pushed the down button and thought, "I did not bite my lip."

work if needed. The employer looks for a woman with initiative and creativity, one who will show an interest in the company . Previous experience is also an important aspect. But Mrs. Ford felt that when you came down to the facts it
wasn't quite important as to what area you studied, rather it was "do you want the job?" Mrs. Ford held a number of jobs before she worked at Chilton. She told the Women's Group she got her job because "she was the most qualified."
VolunteetNow! by Sue O'Hag~n Project Outreach is off and running! Where? To Denver, Montreal, New York, Brazil, China, Paris, Italy. Outreach hopes to link Cabrini College with other Cabrini institutions worldwide. Christian service is the key to this link. Applications for Project Outreach are now being taken. Before applying, it is necessary to consider skills, future goals, and possible financial difficulties . A short essay explaining reasons for volunteering for the program is also required. Anyone may apply, but not everyone will be necessarily eligible. In the "kick-off" meeting in early March, it was particularly stressed that domestic positions will be made more readily available than foreign ones. It is also important to note that neither financial gain nor loss should be expected. And that volunteering doesn't automatically equal credit. This must be arranged on an individual basis. For further information concerning Project Outreach, please contact its coordinators Ms. Suzanne tton or Dr. Joseph Romano.
"Silent Language" by Joan Buonanno The "silent language" was the topic ot discussion given by Richard H. Tyre, Assistant Principal of Upper Darby Senior High School, to the Cabrini campus on February 28. Body language, which is at work in any situation and in any type of relationship, is culturally learned, time oriented, geographic, and an interactional ritual. Mr. Tyre noted Raymond Birdwhistell 's research at Penn University on verbal communication which points out that real commt1nication is not dependent upon the actual meaning of words but instead on the way we talk and our non-verbal talk. However, Tyre remarked that any given marker in body language can mean at least two things which could be opposite so that other messages are needed in order to confirm the whole.

Women
in the priesthood
happened in the early Christian community to now. In the Bible, Paul allows slavery. We have to work with interpretation of, not verbatim Scripture. "The Bible says, 'In Christ Jesus we are one.' This is not how things now stand. We are not one, but being treated separately. Women are treated as second class citizens in the church . " Ms. Boys gives a second reason. "I have a concern that the Catholic church is dying in the hearts and minds of many people because when it comes out with statements such as this recent Vatican statement, it only reflects male attitudes, a very narrow decision making base." "We desperately need a theology of sexuality," she says. Ms. Boys offers a third reason why women should be ordained. "Priests are called to a liturgical sacramental role which deals with the art of helping people to pray. Why must this be a man 's role? Many women also have this gift." She feels that women could be a valuable addition to the priesthood, particularly in the areas of the liturgy. She says that many women have a deep concern for the liturgy. Many women have a good musical background. Music is a very important part of the liturgy and experienced instruction by these women
would certainly be an improvement of it. As a fourth reason, Ms. Boys states, "I believe the Catholic church must reclaim the radical equality that has been given to us through Christ Jesus; He who does not distinguish race, creed, or sex.' '. She calls the alleged fear of women priests a "scare" issue and explains that many voted against the issue because "it's threatening to ¡priests in high places as well as to parish priests." A student inquired, "But what woulq you be called if you bec<!-me a priest? Father?" She replied, "Mary. Or perhaps Sister. Not father or mother because I'm not a father or a mother. And not reverend because I don't think a priest is any more reverent than anyone else." Ms. Boys, a native of Seattle, Wash ., has been a member of S.N.J.M . for 12 years. In 1969 she received her bachelor of arts degree in religion and humanities . From 1969 to 1974 she was a full time teacher at a high school in Washington. In 1974 she received her masters degree in curriculum development. Ms. Boys, presently living in Manhattan, N.Y., is working for her doctorate in religion and education.

A new career direction How will present undergraduates be affected by this change of courses? Will there be a mad dash to change to a business administration major? Probably. But it won't work. Not completely, anyway. The new program is primarily designed with the incoming student foremost in mind. They will have a chance to begin at the beginning and progressively work their way through the program. It is seen as a difficulty for present students who may decide to switch to

business. Th is is not to say that business administration is closed to present students. On the contrary! Rather than a complete switch over, though, it has been recommended that business courses be taken as electives for _ other career-oriented majors . It can even be taken as a minor upon advisor approval. The program will be loosely allied with the Evening Division in that certain courses ¡ might be scheduled in the late afternoon or early evening time slots. Will this step in a new career direction increase enrollment? It is not certain. Only time can really tell. Dean Brown sees an approximate 25-student-per-ye ar increase now that Cabrini offers a business major . Mr. Jerry Satlow, Director of Financial Aid, will serve as advisor for the prog ram.
Spring intosports by Barbara McHugh
Mulhern led young team
Spring is here! And Cabrini is going to celebrate with a spring sports program. Softball is on the schedule for both the men's and women's athletic programs. It is described as a "good spring sport" because it gets the participants outside into the fresh air. John Wallace, a senior here, is captain of the men's softball team. Cabrini will be competing against teams like Villanova and Valley Forge in a 14 game season. The women's softball team will be competing against schools like Ellen Cushing and Villanova. The season begins in the second week in April and all are encouraged to try out. The women's athletic program will also include some tennis tournaments. Mrs. Helen Goodwin describes the tennis program as short and limited because of lack of facilities. Reminder! On May 3, the last day of classes, the Annual Student-Faculty Softball Game and Picnic will take place.
Season setsrecords by Ron Katkocin As another men's basketball season closes we look back at our successful season with a smile. The team finished with a 15-9 record. They shot 38.8% from the floor and scored an average of 65.7 points per game. They also averaged 43 .8 rebounds and 16.5 assists per game. Although the starters for most of the season, Tom Nerney, Tony Cullen, Nick Viggiano, Kevin Deal, and Mike Robinson, were the mainstays of the team, the bench played a very significant role in the success of the Cavaliers. Hal Willard, John Gallagher, and Sal Urbano were called upon in clutch situations. Rounding out the substitutes were Ed Spause, Joe Aquilani, Walt Williams, Tom Anderson, and Harold Wilson, each of whom could fill any starter's shoes. Two major records were also established this year. The first came on February 18, when a record 106 points were scored. Th is surpassed the old record of 100 points scored last year. Every player scored in this game and five players reached double figures. The second record established was Tom
by Joan Buonanno The women's basketball season has ended with a 6-8 record. In the last games of the season, Cabrini was defeated by Harcum Junior College 51-66 and exalted over Eastern College 76-44 . Both head coach, Mrs. Helen Goodwin, and assistant coach, Tom Nerney agree that such an unbalanced record is not evidence of the productiveness of the team. It does, however, depict that Cabrini is a young team working together for the first time. Yet, as Nerney comments, "this is a plus for future experience." All players have assisted the team. Freshman Aunnie Bedard was the high scorer for the season with a 13 point average followed by teammates Kathy Shields and Kathy Smith. Bridget Mclaughlin hustled and leaped for rebounds while Gina Taddei showed her potential for outside shooting. Maureen Deleo proved that she will follow in the footsteps of junior Sally Ford as an excellent ball handler and Junior Bernie McCabe aided the team with her rebounding and show of spirit.

He had a 19.5 point average, 5.7 rebound average, and 3.3 assist average, and he made an amazing 43.7% of his shots. On February 15, against Alvernia, Tom had a season high of thirty points.
