Cabrini Alumnachosennew dean by BarbaraPolomano
A Cabrini graduate will return next fall to act as dean of students. Sharon Morano, a member of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart, was selected as best qualified for the position. Although receiving her degree from Cabrini, Sister Sharon completed mest of her last credits at Villanova University. She majored in mathematics. Sister went on to teach various high schools in New York and California. She is a native of San Fernando Valley, Ca. She is presently principal of Sacred• Heart Villa Academy in Seattle, Wash. Sister has been working for her graduate degree in educational administration at Seattle, University. She expects to complete the degree by next summer. You will find Sister visiting the campus in late April or early May. Sr. Mary Louise says, "She will work directly with Dianne Kerr. This will help tler to make a smooth transition. She will meet with student leaders in particular and sit with the students in Dianne's presence to see what has been going on ."
Sr. -Mary Louise could not give an exact date when Sister Sharon will return .permanently. She said, "Sister is now involved in a transition at her school so she'll be there part of the summer. She'll probabl¥ arrive to stay .some time in August." Sr. Mary Louise seems to feel that Sr. Sharon's transition to role of dean should run smoothly. Sister says, "She did study .here rath_er recently. She has a good· knowledge of the campus and is familiar with some of the faculty. It's not like she's coming into a totally new situation." The position for a new dean was necessitated when Sister Mona's 5-year term ended in the spring of 1976 . Sr. Mary Louise says, "When Sr. Mona's term was completed, we talked to student and faculty groups on campus. The general consensus was that the particular position of student dean was one where they thought a Sister should continue to function since the presence of Sisters on campus is minimal." Sister says that teachers were "extremely receptive" to the idea of
Summer division: by Betsy Hagen
Varietyis available
Residents in the Cabrini College radius will find a wide variety of courses offered on campus at the close of the current semester. Eight workshops, including new ones focusing on the role of the single parent, nutrition and modern trends in business management are scheduled by the S1,1mmerDivision, as well as the basic liberal arts academic curriculum. Over-all choices range from American intellectual history and French, to real estate and photography. _
Summer programs, according to Dr. Frank Saul, director, are designed to meet the needs of those people who wish to acquire or refine skills; work toward an undergraduate degree, or take courses for personal enrichment .. Dates for the two Summer Division Sessions are: May 23-June 30, and July 11-August 18. Course descriptions and information about fees and credits, may be obtained from the Summer Division office.
hiring another Sister. Since no Sisters were immediately available for the position, they suggested that the faculty be polled. Sister says, "We did and began to collect resumes from faculty members." She explained that the resumes were studied by students, faculty, and administrators. Dfanne Kerr was then chosen to serve a one-year term as dean of students. Sister says, "We went to the Sisters of the Sacred Heart and asked if they knew of any qualified, available Sisters who could serv!! a minimum of a 3-year term as dean beginning in the fall semester of 1977;" Four sisters were named, one of whom was not available for that fall. "The three had extensive interviews with me, and Dean Brown, were introduced casually to students, met with Dianne Kerr at length, were questioned on their expectations, and told what ours were," Sister said. Sister Sharon was then chosen from the three, the final decision made chiefly by Sr. Mary Louise, Dean Brown, and. Dianne Kerr. Sister Mary Louise explains, "Had none of the four been found acceptable, we would have advertised nationally, according to new state legislation."

Come May, Dianne Kerr will leave Cabrini. She will be getting married in May and has been granted a leave of absence. Because Ms. Kerr has been granted leave of absence, she will maintain her seniority on the faculty . "Hopefully Dianne's husband, who is· currently finishing his graduate studies, will get a position in the area so Dianne can come back as the coordinator of special education," Sister Mary Louise said.
Governmentjobs •
Working for Uncle Sam by Sue O'Hagan Students don't usually look ·to the government for jobs upon graduation says an affirmative action representative from the Internal Revenue Service. "Instead of seeking employment with the government, most graduates go to large bu5iness firms and corporations. They don't realize that the government has a lot to offer," says Margaret Tabb. In a Women'sGroup meeting held here in March, Ms. Tabb, Federal Women's Program Coordinator for the IRS, spoke on "Opportunities for Women in Government." Ms. Tabb's talk specifically concerned women and equal employment opportunities in the IRS. But in general, she agrees that the government and the IRS have much to offer any college graduate. Two important offerings of any government job, according to Ms. Tabb, are security and job benefits . Ms. Tabb says "Job security is gauranteed once a person is employed by the government. There is never a reduction in government personnel. If a department or a job is phased out, employees are placed in other jobs; they are never fired." The government offers a number of benefits for its employees. Ms. Tabb listed ~ix. They include: -Leave Policy: In comparison with industrial employment, Ms. Tabb .says that the government leave policy is rather liberal. An employee with less than three years Qf service is entitled to 13 paid
IS
personal days and 13 sick days per year. This amount increases as years of service increase. All time is cumulative over the years. " -Pension Plans: Upon retirement, the employee receives a pension into which he/she has been paying. In addition, the government matches the pension with a percentage of the employees high earnings of · three years prior to retirement. The more years of servi.ce an employee renders, the higher his/ her pension will be. The government also allows for a leave of absence of up to one year. This year is without pay but an employee may return to his/her same job with no salary decrease . -Paid Holidays: Government employees receive nine paid holidays per year regardless of scheduling, whereas in industry, employees must work the day before and the day after a holiday in order to be paid for the holiday. -Early Retirement: Thirty years of service is the minimum required before a government employe may retire. So, that if someone begins at age 25, they may retirr at 'i'i . -Hospitalization and insurance: The government offers all of its employees a variety of hospitalization and insurance plans. These are arranged on an individual basis. -Mobility and Flexibility: Ms. Tabb calls the chances for mobility and flexibility in the government "terrific. "
a good deal Employees may move from one g'rade job to another of the same grade with little trouble. They may move from one part of the country to another at th~ government's expense when transferring jobs. Jobs in the higher echelons become highly competitive, leaving opportunity for advancement for everyone, according to Ms. Tabb. Salaries are ranged on a graded scale from one to 18. Ms. Tabb says that the entry level for most college grads is in the five to seven grade area: from $9300 to $11,500. After the entry level there is a yearly increase up to a grade 11 which would be near $17,000 a year. From grades 11 through 18 raises are based on competition, job performance and general personal merit. Ms. Tabb advises "get your foot in the door as early as possible because getting into government is a long process ." How do you get your foot in the door? Ms. Tabb suggests taking the civil service and other tests which are required for obtaining any government job . Most government agencies are not hiring now, she says, but they do place the names of test applicants in registries for future reference. "High test scores are taken into consideration when an agency needs someone." If students are interested in further information about government jobs and test-taking procedures, Ms. Tabb suggests calling the Job Information Center of the Civil Service Commission. The number in the Phila. are.ii.Js: 597-7440.

Romano assists transfers by Gen_e Hutter Transfer student? What sort of animal ·is a transfer student? Very often a college community docs not realize that a percentage of the student body consists of tr,rnsfer ~tudents are those who come from two -ye.tr or community college~. Dr. Joseph Romano has been Cabrini\ liason for transfer students since 1972. In an effort to make transition trom Ol)e college to another as smooth a~ possible, Dr. Romano has written a guidebook for students attending area community colleges. Dr. Romano indicated that he is very pleased with the results and success of transferring students in their college career. To respond to the many questions that transfer students have posed regarding Cabrini, the College hosted an Open House on April 14. Sponsored by the Admissions Office and assisted by the administration and faculty, the Open House familiarized interested guests to the many facets of the Cabrini Community. A tour of t.he campus, conferences re_garding financial aid and admission procedures, along with departmental meetings informed prospective students of the opportunities at Cabrini.

Program deals with wife beating by Gene Hutter
It is a fact that 13% ot <111 homicides are the result of violence in the family. It is estimated that there is violence in 30% to 40% of all marriages from simple slapping to more violent forms. H•is information was given by d sociologist and a psychologist who will be featured on a WPVI (TV -6) presentation de<1lingwith "Wife Beating." Dr. Marilyn Johnson of Cabrini's English/Communications Department is the interviewer for this April 30 broadcast at 7 :30p.m .. Dr. Johnson wrote and produced this program. C<1brini students Mike Walczak and Ray Crew assisted Dr. Johnson as sound technicians. Dr. · Robert Strochak, a psychologist with the Delaware Valley Mental Health
Association, states that a major cause of wife beating results from men's insecurity about their masculinity . Larry Mass, a lawyer with the Community Legal Service of Philadelphia , indic.ited that many men think they have a legal right to beat their wives. Further discussion presents the viewer with the fact that all but one state allows rape in marriage. Mr. Mass has drafted the Protection from Abuse Act for the state of Pennsylvania. Why men beat their wives and why women put up with it are some of the questions to be answered by Jenni frr Fleming, d sociologist with the Philadelphia Chapter of Women 1n Transition.

________________ Security check:
Are we really as safe as we appear_to be? by Maureen Larkin Although our campus is small, we have just as good a chance as Rosemont, Eastern and Villanova, to have unwanted strangers roaming our campus. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this occurrance did happen. After all, how many times have you found the gates open on Eagle and Upper Gulph Roads at some early hour of the morning, when they are supposed to be locked? Locking the gates may not stop strangers from visiting the campus; after all, if they want to get on campus bad enough, they will find a way. However, locking these two gates may discourage strangers who are only curious from visiting our campus . Also, how many times have you tried to reach the guard on the extension 'phone to get into one of the dorms and have been unable to get him on the phone? I've heard quite a few students complaining about this situation and I myself have also been a victim of this situation. Two studentf who could not get the guard on the phone one evening roamed the campus for an hour, but to no avail. Little did these two students know that the guards newest hang -out is in the TV room at Counsel Hall and the Mansion. But then again, how could they check these rooms if they could not get into the buildings? STAFF BOX . Maureen Larkin Editor-in-Chief . . . Sue O'Hagan News Editor .

When you are able to get a hold of the guard on the extension phone , another problem arises. That is the amount of time it takes the guard to get to the building you are outside of. Fifteen or even twenty minutes isn't really that long but when it is very late at night, it seems like an eternity . Also, it only takes an attacker. or rapist just a matter of minutes to finish his deed, the amount of time it takes the security guard to come and open the door. This isn't the first time that these comp1aints have been aired and I'm sure it won 't be the last. I think it is about time that the security procedures now in effect be thoroughly examined . Such questions as, are the students being, protected the most effective way and are!' there any other alternative systems for security that Cabrini could initiate, should be examined .. Cabrini has been safe, so far. However, who is to say that in the near future Cabrini won't have any strange visitors or night stalkers roaming the campus? Let's take the necessary precautions and improve our security conditions now, before such an incident becomes a reality.

Editorials Parietals; here we go again! by Fran MacDonald For the third time in the tour years I've been at Cabrini, SGA has presented the Board of Trustees with another parietals proposal. For those few who don't know what they are, parietals are visitation rights for the opposite sex in the dorm area. Pres~ntly, parietals have been established for Friday through Sunday, from 12 noon until 12 midnight. The new proposal calls for the extension of these weekend parietals and for the establishment of weekday parietals. In the past, parietal proposals have been put off for a variety of unsatisfactory reasons. "Villanova doesn't have any so you're lucky to have what you do," has been a standard excuse. Villanova instituted parietal rights last year, so that one is no longer valid. So, the latest excuse has become "you're still on trial for the last proposal." A THREE YEAR TRIAL? Something tells me someone is side stepping the issue rather than attempting to solve the problem. I think it's time for the administration to emerge from the dark ages and face the fact that it is possible for the students here to have longer parietal hours without the dorms running wild. Please remember that most of us are mature, responsible adults who can handle themselves .without going wild. Granted there are a few exceptions , but that is true anywh ere. The administration must begin to recognize this maturity . The student body has indicated this maturity in their overwhelming response to the parietals poll. Eighty percent of the resident body responded and indicated that they are more than willing to accept new parietals on a trial basis. They are not demanding.; they are simply asking to be recognized for what they are. As for the complaint that it would lessen an individual's privacy, it is up to each individual to decide who they want in their _room . If they don't want t<>run -into a member of the opposite se-x in their underwear, put a robe on. You 're responsible for what you're wearing, not the person who happens to be visiting a ,friend.

Seniors Reminisce
Four Years of Memories • by Ron Katkocin As their four year stay at Cabrini winds down to a halt, members of the class of '77 have many memories which they would like to share with their fellow students. These "memorabel moments" come in all shapes and sizes . Some deal with academics, while others deal with sports, clubs, and the Cabrini social life. What Joe Aquilani and Sue Snyder best remember is their opportunity to be a part of the Cabrini basketball program. Joe especially remembers associating with such players as Tom Nerney and Kevin Deal, and Sue remembers how the team has developed over her four years. What Greg Pasquarello remembers most about Cabrini is the applause. Not the applause given to hif!l for receiving the Larry Sedlar Award, nor the applause he received for initiating the Celebration of Spring last year . Greg remembers most the applause that followed each and every movie that he showed last fall in the Living Arts Society's movie series. Greg ~ays that he enjoys watching others enjoy
themselves, and that this, above all else, makes all the work worthwhile . Of course Ray Crew has m~ch to reminisce about - his many academic awards, his position as Resident Assistant of Counsel Hall, . his being president of SGA. But of all these, Ray's single, most memorable event took place in his first semester at Cabrini. At this time, Ray and Monica Kenney were to perform in the two character play "Not Enough Rope." After three weeks of preparation the duo thought they were ready . But when the time came they forgot their lines and were forced to ad-lib for twenty minutes. "We turned a searing drama into a rollicking comedy and nobod~ knew it, "says Ray . All the seniors know about all the work Fran MacDonald has done for her class, and Fran says, "It's nice to know it was appreciated." The thing that Fran terms "the best" about her four years is her Main Line Times internship, and the event that "means the most" to her is her .reception of the Mother Ursula Award.
However, the thing that Fran remembers most is her take-over of the sophomore class presidency and how, with a mere $32.50 in the budget and a little over a month to work with, her class had raised enough money to sponsor the annui,J Senior Farewell. · Perhaps the most colorful character among all the seniors is Mike Walczak . Says Mike: · "My most memorable experience .DV_ e r the last four years naturally was last year ·When. J got the idea to have a 'Voice of the Cava"fi't!1~ ,'. " Mike goes on to say that his internsh 'ip his affiliation with WKVU, and all his work for the Living Arts Society "all tie together. I like people to see me as trying to entertain them . Cabrini has given me the opportunity to practice and more and more perfect the art of helping people enjoy life, which is what I basically want to do," Mike also adds that he reached an academic zenith this spring with his nomination to Lambda Iota Tau and his attainment of the Dean's List for the "first and only time."

Benefit Raises Funds and Celebrates Twentieth by Janet Gennaro
Cabrini College is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year, and what could be a more appropriate theme for the second annual Friends of Cabrini Benefit Cocktail Party? The benefit party, organized by a committee made up of Cabrini trustees and their spouses, will take place in the mansion on Sunday, April 24, from 5 to 7 p.m. Co-chairmen for the benefit are Mr. and Mrs. James J. Maguire of Wyndmoor and Mr. and Mrs. Donald A. Avellino of West Chester. Mr. and Mrs. F. Eugene Dixon, Jr. of Lafayette Hill have been named honorary chairmen of the benefit. To help celebrate the event, guests may place a candle on a specially decorated birthday cake or reminisce with the help of a photographic display portraying twenty years worth of Cabrini memories. 1 Guests may also choose to enjoy the romantic atmosphere of the garden at twilight, enhanced by the music of a strolling violinist. Members of Kappa Sigma Omega, Cabrini's service organization, will act as hostesses for the affair. The benefit committee has reissued Friends of Cabrini Certificates, which entitle holders a chance to win a 1977 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. The highlight of the evening for certificate holders will be the drawing of the winner of the cadillac. The certificate is considered a $100 tax -deductible gift to Cabrini for general and educational purposes. General subscriptions to the party are $25 per couple. Donors of $50 per couple will be named benefit patrons. The proceeds of the benefit will be used to help meet the costs of running the college on a day,to-day basis. A specific use of the money is to help finance Cabrini scholarships .
Summer on a low budget
by J,met Gennaro
Are you anticipating a summer vacation restricted by a low budget? Are you planning to save most of your summer earnings for next year's tuition? If this . is the case, you may ask : What can I do this summer that doesn't cost a lot of money? There are many possibilities, if you allow your imagination to work for you. If you have a small plot of land in your backyard, or even if you don't, you can start a garden. Seeds, as well as soil, are inexpensive. A window sill exposed to sunlight is adequate for a small garden . Granted that you cannot have a farm on your window sill, but you can have a nice-sized herb garden. If you desire to follow a scholarly path during the vacation, you might try taking a summer course at your local community college - rates are low, and quite often, credits will transfer. Check out your local library . Libraries provide a variety of free lectures, concerts and films open to the public all year round. And during the summer, their programs are geared to the interests of students on vacation. How about a picnic? If you get a group together to put in for food and gas, costs remain at a minimum . State parks are a good place for a picnic, and once you:re there, you might try hiking along nature trails that are provided. If you are a procrastinator, you may want to do your bicentennial duty and visit Philadelphia a year late. It may sound silly, but there are still plenty of

exhibits in town. And the restoration of Philadelphia does have some aesthetic value. Colleges, Universities and drama companies put on summer theatre productions that can often be enjoyed at student discount rates. Summer concerts are plentiful, and some are financed by local government and free of admission charge. Some concerts are not free, but that doesn't have to stop a poor student from listening. A favorite trick of mine is to sit on the grass outside of the Temple University Music Festival and listen to the concerts for free. If you are a competitive person, summer sports are relatively inexpensive, as long as you have the necessary equipment. Indoor games may also be challenging. You could learn to play backgammon, chess, pinochle, etc., and then form a league of competitors among your friends. What about night lite? Cover charges to clubs are often outrageously high, as well as the drinks they serve inside. Most clubs have "special nights" during the week where they eliminate the cover charge. Go then. Who says that you can only have a good time on the weekend? And if you must buy a drink , stay away from mixed ones; they are usually 95% soda. So, use your imagination. College students are notorious for their ingenious methods of economizing . After all, aren't the best things in life always free?
a trip
by Joe Reilly
The International Club sponsored an Easter vacation trip to Quebec City. Under the direction of Rita Maffei, 23 students travelled 600 miles north to that foreign country with that foreign language. The trip was designed so that one could be on his own and discover the city as well as struggle with his French. The French was no trouble but the struggle through ,t blizzard on Good Friday did hinder the visitors' social activities. The city was beautiful and the view from where we stayed, Le Chateau Frontenac , was amazing. Many of the students have fond memories of the trip : "To find an
American consulate who spoke Italian," said Antonia Caminiti. For Mary Damian it was Andre, the piano player who pinched her 14 times for her 21st birthday . Linda Adamovich thought it was partying at "Le Grenedier" till four in the morning. Linda Tillman said it was going "bananas" in the liquor stores. Gayle Herbert said it was dancing at the disco "Hippopotamus." My own memories of the trip include building human pyramids in the hotel hallway, people being thrown into the¡ shower, and Mary Damian's face after her first pinch. Cabrini College had truly -made an impression in Quebec . C'est si bon!

Swinginginto action by Ron Katkocin With the weather warming and the sun shining, the sports scene on Cabrini campus now shifts to the outdoors with the inception of such sports as women's tennis and softball. Both the tennis and softball teams.are looking forward to very promising seasons. Coached by Peggy Goldberg, the tennis team is ready for action. Their first match was at Drexel on April 19 and tentative matches with Villanova, Eastern, and Widener have been arranged . Some of the more promising prospects are juniors Winky Barbarick and Kathy Hurley, and freshmen Kathy Smith, Judy Guido, and Bridget McLaughlin. Women's softball is underway in full swing and coach Judy Clay is hopeful. Garnes had been scheduled for April 18 at Villanova, April 19 at Eastern, and April 21 at home against Cushing junior College, and Judy is doing her best to arrange more games. Practice got underway on March 21. Since that time the girls have been out on the tield nearly every day practicing their throwing, fielding, and hitting. Judy notes vast amounts of improvement in the girls' abilities, and she is impressed

What will happen on those "lazy days of summer"? For many of Cabrini's students, lazy is not the appropriate word to describe their upcorni ng non-school sporting activities. Fresh-water fishing provides a challenge for Ron Katkocin '80 and Mark Cooperrider '79. For Walt Williams '79 it is a time for relaxation and contemplation. Mark and Walt also find scuba diving to be a novel and "scary" experience. Leslie Hickman '79 who dives to the depths of Maryland's seas affirms that it gives her an upclose look of nature. Canoeing is Janet Gennaro's '78 remedy for getting a good tan via fun in the sun. Whereas, Judy Clay '78 remarks that she enjoys this sport because it "takes a good sense of physical coordination and judgment." Having a preference for outdoor sports, Kathy Smith '80 likes to waterski in the bay and lagoons. of Ocean City, N.J. Not far from that shore, Kathy Shields '79 takes up sailing with her family in Margate. The warmth of the sun for many will turn the sluggish days of summer into fun-filled days of vigor. with the overall abundance of talent on the team. With Maureen DeLeo's strong arm and consistent hitting, Sue ~oja's quick glove, and Denise Glover's constant hustle, the team is ready to tackle anyone. These three players, along with Sue Ostroski and Kathy Smith, are termed potential superstars by Judy. So in the midst of these spring activities we urge everyone to get out and support the women's tennis and softball teams.

by BarbaraMcHugh Summer is almost here and most of-us are trying to plan some kind of vacation_. How about the sea shore? No, you were there last year for two weeks and by the end of the first week, you were in sand up to your ears. Why not try something a little different? How about sleeping in a forest under some trees and stars with some bears? Try camping! It's an inexpensive way to see a lot of places you've never seen before. It's also terrific for everyone from nature freaks to those who've never even seen a sleeping bag. The basics that you need are a portable stove, a sleeping bag and a tent. Each of these items is a bit expensive but they will be worth it because they'll last a long time. Make sure you plan easy meals for the days you'll be away and pack enough ice in your cooler to keep everything fresh . For travel information, the Triple A Agency is a good service for campers. You can call and ask for guide books and maps for the area that you choose to visit and Triple A will send them to you, free! They will also provide information about the best campsites around. Camping anywhere from Canada to Florida can be a safe and enjoya ble experience as long as you have the right kind of equipment and you know where you're going. So get your gear together and get out there and see the land.
