Chaplaincy search is narrowed BY SUE O'HAGAN The choites for a new chaplain have been narrowed down to "a couple of possibilities" according to Sr. Sharon Morano, MSC, dean of students and chairperson of the Chaplaincy Search Committee. The committee was formed in December as the result of Rev. Thomas Piechocinski's decision to leave Cabrini. The committee, consisting of members of the student body, faculty and administration, convened several times during the interim in an effort to make final decisions concerning the choices for a new chaplain. According to Sr. Sharon, 35 applicants "~f wide and varying backgrounds" responded to a three-week advertisement for the chaplaincy position that was run in the National Catholic Reporter and in a campus ministry magazine. The applicants ranged in age from 28 to 67. When asked if age was being heavily weighed in the final decision , Sr. Sharon said that it was not. Instead, the search committee gave other factors more consideration . Some of these qualifying factors include: possession of a personal sense of ministry; openess to youth-oriented expressions of worship; full committment to the development of a campus ministry; the ability to relate to the enti re college community and willingness to become actively involved in all aspects of colle,e life.
In addition, the committee is , looking for a full-time priest willing to celebrate daily masses and special liturgies, and a spiritual and pastoral counselor. The 35 applicants for the job each received packets of information about Cabrini and about the duties expected of them in the position. They were also asked to evaluate themselves and their potential in being able to meet the necessary qualifications . In the final stage of the search nine applicants were interviewed, some before the interim and most during the interim according to Sr. Sharon. Members of the search committee served as an interviewing committee for each of the applicants. Student members were unable to be present during the interim interviews . And because of bad ' weather conditions not all o( the other members were able to participate in each of the interviews . Sr. Sharon, as chairperson, attended all of the interview sessions. , Evaluations of each of the interviews were submitted by those in attendance. Again, weather conditions prevented the final evaluations of all of the interviews to take place before this semester. The committee met on Friday, Jan. 'r1 at 1 p.m. to review the interview data collected during the interim. As a result of the meeting the possibilities for the chaplaincy have been narrowed down.
A proposal to have the remaining applicants visit the campus to informally meet students, faculty and administration was suggested. Sr. Sharon calls this a "good idea" and sees it as an opportunity for the final applicants to get a "feel of what they'll be dealing with if they are hired." Two of the priests, Rev . Andrew Ciferni, 0 . Praem., and Rev. Marinus Verivey, 0 . Praem . visited the campus on Wednesday, Feb. l. Another priest, Rev. James Vizza, T.0.R ., is scheduled to visit on Mon. Feb. 13. "We 're aiming for a final decision sometime before the end of February" says Sr. Sharon, "but the new chaplain will not assume his position until September 1978." Rev. John J. McKenzie, O.S.A. of Villanova University and St. Augustine Church, Philadelphia, has been hired as campus chaplain on a part-time basis according to the January-February President's Newsletter. Rev . McKenzie will serve as chaplain for this semester since the Chaplaincy Search Committee hasn't made its final decision on a full-time chaplain. A revised Mass schedule is also in effect for this semester. Masses will be celebrated Mondays through Fridays at 5 p.m ., and Sundays at 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. There _will be no 4 p.m. Mass on Sundays nor will there by any Saturday Masses.

TV producer is Convoca~ion speaker BY SUE O'HAGAN "It is surprising that when you 路set out to do something, bow much you can really accomplish." Adrian Malone did just that . He set his mind on a goal and subsequently worked to accomplish that goal. His goal, from the young age of 17, was to become a television producer . The reality, at the age of 41, is just that. Adrian Malone has risen to become one of the top television producers in England as well as the United States . Malone, a producer of "creative documentaries" for the British Broadcasting Corporation and current member of the University of Pennsylvania's faculty, is scheduled to be the guest speaker at the Spring Convocation ceremonies at Cabrini on Tuesday, Feb. 21 at 1 p.m. His topic, yet uncertain, will ''probably be along the lines of -television documentaries as a form of education ." Yet he is certain of one thing : he will talk . In tact, he assures, "You'll probably have a bard time stopping me once I get started." Presently, Malone is serving an appointment as lecturer for Penn's Department of History and Sociology of Science. He bas been in this country since June and claims to enjoy the academic scene immensely. "I have no univei:_sitydegree," he states with bis British accent, "but I do have a degree of sorts, in television." His "degree" in television is the result of over twenty years in the field. He took his first job with BBC radio as a technician at the age of 17. He then moved on to television
doing as many jobs as he could, from sweeping studio floors to camera and sound work. Termed "too young and too inexperienced" by the BBC to be hired in the capacity of producer, Malone went to work in British commercial television for a time, only to be rehired by the BBC as an "executive producer ." A job which Malone says entails a little of everything - producing, directing, editing. Two of Adrian Malone's better known works in America are THE ASCENT OF MAN and THE AGE OF UNCERTAINTY series. Malone served as editor of THE ASCENT OF MAN, a 13 part program tracing the development of science. He was executive producer for the AGE OF UNCERTAINTY, a 13-part narrative of the past two centuries of economic history. He is currently working on a film series on the life of Albert Einstein and also on a 13-part series on space. Malone says his space show will have the "Gloss of STAR WARS, but at the same time will be as good as Socrates ." Malone's education is on the job. He learned television by "doing it" and he also learns all of his subjects by doing almost all of the actual research for them. "It's like taking a Ph.D. before producing each show," says Malone. "The first three months of each produ.ction are nothing but reading and research." So, why the move from television to the academic scene? Basically, Adrian M~one is a dynamic person, constantly in the state of motion. Contibued on Page 路 2

Mardi Gras features iazz, costume ball BY NORMA PITTMAN
New Orleans means Mardi Gras, Mardi Gras means New Orleans. But, alas, no longer is that successful union restricted to New Orleans. Cabrini College's Sacred Heart Hall is scheduled host to from 8:30-11:30 Sun. Feb. 12. a fullfledged replica of the New Orleans extravaganza, Mardi Gras. The evening, originally planned for Feb. 7 but rescheduled because of weather conditions, is planned to begin with a parade, highlighted by the ragtime of dixieland jazz. A stage performance of an original skit by
Cabrini's faculty will precede a costume ball.
The campus-orleans affair will display an array of costumes, sequins, fringes, babbles, bangles and a rainbow of colors. "A king and queen will be crowned," says Dr. Schwarze, "in addition to prizes for the best costume." Mardi Gras is the second offspring of a drive, by a concerned faculty, to fizz away the 28 day boredom for students on campus. The original and very successful 1977 February Frolic set the February ho-hum drive against boredom into motion. Anyone who is interested in joining the "Celebration of Spring" committee is asked to please contact Ron Katltocin at bos Z3or estenslon Tl.
Convocation speaker Continued from Page 1 "I set myself certain dates at which I just arbitrarily change my career, no matter what I'm doing." Though on the academic scene, Malone is not far removed from his first love: television. In fact, he is in partnership with Michael Gill in New York, and he says he will continue his work in television in Americ::i As grounded as he is in television, Mr. Malone admits that he doesn't watch too much of it. Mainly because he doesn't have the time. He never watches a finished production of any of his work because it is "too close" to him, and often "too painful." Of what he has seen on American television Malone says, "The American people deserve a lot better television than they're getting." He says this because he feels that the American network programming "insults the intelligence and dignity of the audience." In comparing American televisi_on with British, Malone sees many differences . Pr~marily, American television produces "bad" documentaries in his estimation. Not necessarily because of poor quality of production but because of the fact that they are produced out of "public affairs" and tend to become popular opinion for a time being. Malone's documentary technique, on the other hand, tries to deal, not with actions and people, but instead, with ideas, or as he says it, "The history of ideas." Malone has many other observations on American television. American news coverage and light entertainment shows are "better," "slicker," "more professional" according to Malone. But in terms of serious programing, "Britain has it over America."
He is quick to stress that he hai. nothing against light entertainment and "formula" shows but he does feel there is an overbalance of them in American programing . Children's programing in America is seen by Malone as a "great art." He calls it "the best programming in this country and cites SESAME STREET as a prime example of the type of programming he admires. The future of American television programming at this point is anybody's guess. Malone guesses that it's bound to improve. He says that if he has anything to do with it, as he hopes he will, then things in television could change . One means of evoking this change, says Malone, is "to move out into other fields." He doesn't necessarily advocate "heavy" or "intellectual" programming for the change. Instead , he wants programming with what he calls " taste ." Something that will "sit with the basic nobility of humankind" and that will discontinue the insulting of the intelligence of the American audience . This aim is basic to all of his programming, and he hopes it will be basic to all future programming in America as well. If not, the audience will become more and more selective . The television industry will no longer be dealing with a vast majority audience. Instead, Malone foresees the shift to a "large number of minority audiences." Just as in music, the television industry may eventually have to cater to individual tastes in programming. Whether or not Adrian Malone will remain on the academic circuit, is not definite. He does know this about his future, though. As with his past, television will be a part of him, even as a hobby when he retires at 50. "To write, sail and trace the journey of Ghengis Kahn."

Five Seniors seek experience BY JANET GENNARO
Most of us on campus are familiar with the classroom experience, but how about the outof-the classroom experience? At Cabrini, experience as such is offered in the form of internships, which are available in various fields through cooperating departments . This semester , the English/ Communications Department is sponsoring five Cabrini seniors in its internship program. The program consists of internships available in three practical areas of interest for the student with a substantial theoretical background in English and Communications ¡ . courses . They are : publishing, broadcasting and journalism . Three Cabrini seniors are presently serving as broadcasting interns at WPVI, one of Philadelphia 's three local television stations. The interns are : Susan DeCarlo, Maureen Larkin , and Salvatore Urbano . The interns work three days a week assisting the staff in the newsroom . Their duties include pulling wire copy off the teletype machine and putting together the teleprompter for the anchorpersons to use in their broadcasts. The interns also answer the "tipline" and judge whether or n:1ta news tip has the potential to be a good news story. One of the interns, Susan Decarlo, feels that the ex-
perience is valuable in that she is gaining knowledge of what goes on inside the newsroom, and hopes that the experience will help her to get a job in that field. Margie Cain is a publishing intern at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia. It is a non-profit educational organization in association with The Graduate Relations Group at the University of Pennsylvania. Margie is working on thelnstitute's journal, Orbis, editing manuscripts . " It feels good," Margie said , "to know that someone trusts you to edit a manuscript right from thr start." Margie feel s tha t t he experience of working on the jour nal will help her in the future because she is learn ing to handle the type of responsibility required in the publishing field . Another intern , Barbara McHugh, is working for the Main Line Times, a weekly newspaper located in Wynnewood.The journalism intern works three days a week and her duties are basically editing and reporting . One reason Barbara feels tha t her internship will be helpful in getting a job is that she is learning to "do things by machines" instead of the manual method that she is accustomed to. All of the interns will receive six credits for their internship work.
SGA eiction settled Continued from Page 1 Not only were the SGA president and vice-president situations unsolved, but there are still some classes and clubs which do not have newly-elected officers . With no new executive officers, who is to check up on this? On Jan. 31 members of the election committee met to discuss what course of action they should take. Those members present were: Sister Sharon Morano, Made1eine Cahill, Judy Clay, Karen Breutsch, and Colleen O'Brien . Committee member Nancy Holland was absent. At the meeting Albert was found ineligible to run for presidential office. The problem resulting was two-fold and was termed by Sr. Sharon a "unique problem." Should Hickman and O'Hagan ¡ assume office or should there be another election? All agreed that there should be another election. The next question was who should run. O'Brien opted for opening the polls to students who had just attained junior status according to the number of credits accumulated. Cahill countered that "in all fairness to Leslie" the polls should not be reopened. The committee eventually decided to have Hickman and

O'Hagan run with the stipulation that they receive 51 per cent of the :votes to win. If they received less than 51 per cent of the votes a new election was to be held The actual tally was 81 votes for Hickman and O'Hagan and 32 abstentions. Nearly 72 per cent of the voters selected the winner. President elect Hickman and the SGA have their work cut out for them. They must first see if ArticlelV, Section 1, Part a, needs amending. They must also see to it that the laws of the constitution are enforced. According to Hickman the "revamping of the constitution" will be top on SGA's agenda . A date for the first meeting is indefinite though, as the delay in -the presidential election resulted in the postponement of the class-officers elections . As soon as the classes vote for their representatives the new SGA will hold it's first formal meeting . Academic Dean Dr. Dorothy M. Brown says that the SGA constitution "needs a credit definition to decide who is eligible for office." Dr. Brown also cites the length of time which the student has been at Cabrini and his/her "academic standing" as being important.
The asperities of social life:
That Omnipotent RA While relaxing during the break in my dusty cave on campus away from the resounding blasts of Boston, Stevie Wonder, the Disco Scene, and oh yes ... we can't forget "Ching Ching Salla Bing," my eyes fell upon an encouraging hyperbole in a University of Pennsylvania alumni magazine pertaining to the role of R.A.'s . " my friend had to step out for a second, giving me a chance to play R.A., a position of utmost power. To the first-timer, the R.A. holds life-and-death influence over one's life. He can tell you to go to 52nd and Marke t to get your ID card ; he can have you thrown in the clink for possessing marijuana ; he can boggle your mind, corrupt your
write the quote from the alumni magazine and realized that unfortunately I was not dealing with a student of freshman standing. Smoking with frustration I entered the room and posed the question directly to the inhabitants, all of whom were larger than myself : "Am I, in fact, almost God? Do I really hold a position of utmost power?" I was kept in suspense for what seemed to be hours instead of seconds as these collegiate inebriates debated the practical results of their answer . Realizing they had nothing to loose since they were already about to rece ive a personal invitation to see the Dean of Students in the morning, their answer came in the form of
"To a freshman, the RA is God, almost" way of life, and drive you to the brink of joining the Moonies. To a freshman, the R .A. is God , almost." Although I want to make clear this rather ingenious peripharasis fits my role perfectly, I must say that unfortunately I am not living up to it, even though I do try. Just before vacation while feeling this Godlike omnipotence and having the confidence of four freshman vassals in the dorm - who had awakened me to relieve them of their sleepless night, I stumbled blindly through the corridor in the direction of a blaring stereo kicking out enticing stray girls along the way.

My intuition prompted me to discreetly knock on the door surrounded by beer cans whereupon I heard the intended riposte: "Who the hell does this damned R.A. think he is, first a Chief Justice and now

Theater students produce 'Mars' BY GENE HUTTER & BILL BEAD
Theatre Design, a new course offered in the January interim, taught production, staging, costuming, sound, and lighting . Under the direction of Daniele Perna, the course was designated to offer a unified conception in the production of a play. Students were challenged to work as producers on the play, The First Boy and Girl on Mars, written by Scott Chelmow. Mr. Perna often compared the class to the Pirandella play, "Six Characters in Search of an Author." The Theater Design course became seven producers in search of a play. They got the play , The First Boy and Girl on Man. During the three-week interim the student-producers became well-aware of the work and involvement entailed in the production of a play. The course requirements led students through
the process of script editing, publicity development, stage blocking, and the designing of sets , costumes , sound and make-up. The students were also led on the highways and by-ways of Wayne to . search thrift shops for any items that had possibilities of being transformed into props and costumes to relate to the theme of the play. The seven student-producers expressed many favorable reactions to the labors of the course. Frank DiGiandomenico, who had no previous exposure to theater, found the course to be a unique experience in learning to deal with others . "It was a chance · to develop another part of myself which no other school function would permit me to accept."

"Besides being a good introduction to future classes in directing, it was the first class I ever had where everyone worked together ." This reporter, as one who has had limited exposure to the Children's Theater, was able to appreciate the many hours involved in producing a play. "To be able to absorb the workings and the ideas that go into a production from the beginning stages gives me a clearer insight into what it takes to project a desired message to an audience. I have definitely gained an appreciation for producers and directors and the value of their profession." Mr Perna expressed his appreciation in being able to instruct this course . "It is exciting to do the necessary groundwork of production in an academic environment , using all sources and putting it into design . The class was not totally in theater in that we had to pursue other academic fields. For example , we had to consider the history of astronauts now and in the future; also, the technology of ,computers had to be considered to

'The Goodbye Girl' BY STEVE PEDANO
"The Goodbye Girl" has been written up as one of this year's best films in the dailies. So where are the box office lines? Neil Simon's film stars Marsha , Mason and Richard Dreyfuss playing the two principals . Dreyfuss, who is currently starring in "Close Encounters ," plays Mason's ex-lover's actor friend who is in New York to star in the soon to flop off-Broadway production of "Richard III" in which he portrays a screaming homosexual king. Dreyfuss shows up at the apartment still occupied by Mason and her daughter who are unaware that the place has been sublet. Her ex-lover now gone to greener pastures has left her no alternative but to try her best to hold on to what she has and convince Dreyfuss that she has the right and the power ( "legal friends uptown") to kick him out on his ear. even though he's paying the rent. There is all but peace between them as they live together.
