Letters to the ,Editor
Editorial Drinking meeting started it , The word's out by now. Remember that emergency Student Government Association meeting President Leslie Hickman called a few weeks ago? You know, the one on lowering the drinking age . All other meetings were cancelled in the one o'clock time slot and the gym was packed. Well, almost. Well folks, it looks like you can kiss that big rally good-bye. That's right. Out of the nine area colleges that were to participate in the demonstrations only two stuck it out - Cabrini and LaSalle . The rally is off, so what! The excitement, vigor , and enthusiasm shown by S.G.A. and the rest of the student body proved one·thingthat apathy hasn't totally defeated the students at Cabrini. For a few fleeting moments students actually showed concern about an issue. It doesn't matter what the issue, what counts is that you cared. And it wasn't just the typical handful of the same people either. Representatives from all parts of the student body came to the meeting, commit- • ted themselves to the rally, and made up posters. So it's all for nought, rigltt? Wrong! The drinking issue isn't dead yet, and even if it were there are many other issues to get involved with. State elections will be held on Tuesday . We're in the midst of S.G.A. elections. And there are always activities around campus, whether they are in the area of academics, sports, theater, or anything else. So prove, if not to anyone. else, then to yourselves, that that very successful student body meeting wasn 't just a flash in the pan . Let's try and shed that blanket of apathy that has veiled Cabrini for too long.
Chaplain cooks dinner, makes food for thought BY THERESA KARMINSKI
As students take a closer look into the opportunities for spiritual and personal growth at Cabrini, it is not surprising to find Father Jack Replogle initiating many new ideas and functions. · Father Replogle, the campus chaplain, provides a warm, friendly atmosphere where students can be open and talk with one another about any number of topics. The main purpose, Father Replogle explains, is to facilitate a . chance for people to share ..their personal beliefs and concerns. Students can then help each other by offering v_arious opinions and inspirational advice .
The meetings begin with dinner, followed by various discussion topics. The setting is relaxed and informal, which allows the students to express anything they feel. At any rate, the dinner-discussion meetings are still in the formation stage. Plans for the future include various opportunities for prayer, service to the community, weekend retreats along with faithsharing meetings. "If you ever feel like getting into some good topics of non-academic discussion, this is the perfect place to do it. You will probably leave with a deeper understanding of yourself as well as of those around ton," one participant said.

Dixon gift spurs changes BY ROSEMARY LUNCH
Cabrini CoUege is at this time undergoing an enormous amount of renovation and growth . This fact can be attributed partly to the Development Council of the college . Although their skill and hard work is accomplishing many things, Mrs. F. Eugene Dixon, Jr., vicechairperson of the board of trustees, and chairperson for the Development Council, is a leading figure on the Council. Mrs . Dixon has been on the board of trustees at Cabrini for five years . She is also on the board of Be~er College, and has other various interests in the- Philadelphia area . Mrs. Dixon became interested in Cabrini through a personal friend, Mrs. Paul Henkels, a present member of the board of trustees. She sees that the college has a number of strengths, but also has its weaknesses. As a small college, it prese~ts the opportunity for a personal education with an excellent program. Mrs. Dixon con-

Race tightens as election day approaches BY RON KATKOCIN
Despite or because of the great controversy over the validity of the advertising campaigns of both Republican and Democratic gubernatorial candidates, the race for governor of the state of Pennsylvania is neck and neck. Richard L. Thornburgh, 46, from Pittsburgh, and William W. Scranton III, 31, from Dalton, are the Republican candidates for governor and lieutenant governor. Peter F. Flaherty, 53, from Pittsburgh, and Robert P. Casey, 48, also from Pittsburgh, are the Democratic candidates for governor and lieutenant governor. Even though the gubernatorial race has developed into a political shouting match over which candidate's campaign advertisements are truthful and which candidate's are not, there are still a number of important issues to be discussed. One issue that is of major concern to local colleges, particularly Cabrini, concerns the lowering of the drinking age in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Republican candidates are divided in their opinions Thornburgh is in favor of lowering the legal drinking age while Scranton is opposed to it. However, Flaherty is vehemently against lowering the drinking age, stating in an interview,
"lowering the drinking age will increase the number of accidents." He added: "When you lower the age to 18 you're really lowering it to 15." Despite the recent success of casino gambling in increasing the revenue of the state of New Jersey, both gubernatorial candi<lates are "cautious" in developing such programs for increasing revenue in Pennsylvania. Thornburgh mentions the fact that Pennsylvania has lottery tickets, stressing that all "surplus funds" from the lottery should be directed back to senior citizens. Flaherty makes mention of the lottery, as well as horse-racing and bingo as sources of state income. In a teievised debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters Thursday, Oct. 26 both candidates aired their views on abortion. Thornburgh stated that he was "personally opposed to abortion," and that he would "restrict legal abortion to those cases where the life or the health of the mother was in jeopardy as determined within a doctor/patient relationship." Thornburgh also said that he would make abortions illegal except in the case where conception was a result of rape or incest, and that he would favor public funding of abortions in these three areas because he does not think that the medical option should be available to only the wealthy. Flaherty's views on abortion

echo those held by Thornburgh. "I do not favor abortions on demand," Flaherty said, "but I have no serious objection to abortions in cases where the life of the mother is at stake, or in cases of rape or incest." Flaherty also said that he would not be opposed to public funding of abortion in "those three exceptional cases." · As far as the death penalty is concerned local democratic representative Mrs. Peggy Cherpack said that Flaherty "would sign such a bill as governor" in favor of capital punishment in certain instances. Republican State Chairman Mr. Harold "Bud" Haabestad was "not positive" on Thornburgh's precise views, but he said that Thornburgh was "strong on law enforcement." In a press conference Scranton said that he was for the death penalty if it was "judicially used for heinous and premeditated crimes."
aid to catholic institutions. "Welfare is for the needy, the disabled, the handicapped," Flaherty said. "We'll have to crackdown hard on the chislers," he replied when asked how he felt about former Pennsylvania citizens collecting welfare from Pennsylvania. In regard to the question concerning aid to Catholic institutions Flaherty said he was in favor of private education and that "we should do everything we can within constitutional limits to help private education survive.'' In an interview on Oct. 24 Haabestad stressed Thornburgh's plans to cut taxes and to put a cap on government spending. "Dick's method is tied to the growth of Pennsylvania's economy," Haabestad said. The "method" is a four-part plan involving the gross income of the state, the net income of the state, the consumer price increase and personal net income. "There will Neither candidate is in favor ?f be no allowed spending increase the_ propos~d ch~rter change m if these figures don't increase," Ph1ladelph1a which would allow - Haabestad said.

leges seemed supportive of their cause none were willing to fully commit themselves until they got back to their own student bodies. One alternative suggestion was made by the representative from Textile. He proposed that instead of trying to change the law, the colleges should lobby for a special permit to dispense alcohol due to their status as a private institution. A second meeting, which was held to decide whether or not the colleges wanted to join in a united effort with Villanova, took place on Monday, Oct. 9 at Dougherty Hall. At this meeting eight ollt of the nine colleges decided to participate in the rally. St. Joe's was the only college which did not go along. While the SGA members of the colleges were busy gathering support on their campus' Villanova was in the midst of a conflict. Due to an anti-rally campaign conducted by the Student Union they had to pull out of the rally. At the controversial hearing held on Thursday, Oct. 19 the case
were three main points covered at the meeting. First and foremost there was the idea of how every area of the college in which a student comes in contact has an important effect on what his overall view of the college will be. "It's important to have the right climate on campus," states Dr. Brown. "StudeQts need to feel that they belong - that their point of view carries weight on campus." Secondly, the meeting was used • as a· formal way of explaining to ·
everyone what changes the college had made over the past year "We never took the time to inform everyone of what these changes m_eant," said Dr. Brown. The majority of the new programs and additional services instituted were a direct result of Master Planning Committee developments. These included the renovations already done in the cafeteria, theatre and biology labs, plus the addition of new spec-

FALL CONVOCATION "is a time , for coming together to share success" BY SHEILA DOUGHERTY Cabrini's 1978 Fall Convocation took place on Oct. 5 in the Mansion. The program opened with a piano selection by Artist-in-Residence, Mme . Agi Jambor . Sr. Mary Louise Sullivan, MSC, president of the college, said in her address that Convocation "is a time for coming together to share successes." It was a time for .recognizing successes as many students were awarded scholarships and prizes. The guest speaker was Brother Daniel Burke, FSC, P.hD, who was president of LaSalle College from 1969to 1976. He is currently a professor of English there. The topic of his speech was "Catholic Higher Education : An Idyll." - Brother Burke spoke about an ideal college as described to him by one of its graduates. Not until the end of the speech did he reveal that the college was actually Cabrini. Brother Burke described Cabrini as "a small lively place ." He went on to say that this institution related theology to life . It was a "real community that transended the red tape jungle of administration and faculty ." It was finally revealed that the "utopian" community he had been talking about is Cabrini. Brother Burke concluded his speech by telling everyone, !.!take care ... Take care of Cabrini."

Mamet's dramas have unusual plots BY CONNIE AIELLO ("The Water Engine." Drama by David Mamet. Directed by Daniel Baker. Produced by the Graduate Theatre Department of Villanova University, through . Oct. 21.) in "The Water Engine" the setting is a radio studio in the 1930'sin· which a radio broadcast is being presented. The broadcast pre- sented is about a young inventor who has found a way to run an engine on distilled water. He is preyed upon by big business, exploited and finally killed. The action of "Water Engine" is a play within a play. The broadcasted story itself is tragic; the radio audience can feel the frustration of Charles Lang, the inventor, as he swims within the realm of big business only to find himself drowning. Mamet makes his point_ about the free individual thrown within the brutal society of an omnipotent force. Despite this though, there is something more tragic than the
broadcasted story. What seems more tragic is the actors in the radio studio. This story represents another paycheck. They are apathetic and unsympathetic to the radio characters they portray. They are simply actors doing their job. Mamet demonstrates this by adding an intermission to the story . The actors suddenly drop the characters they portray and become their normal selves. The connection Mamet subtly makes is that people in the real world are comparable to the radio actors. People assume roles then become apathetic to the events that the roles produce. Thus, the effect of the play is two-fold. The social apathy of the real worl4 permits the exploitation of real Charles Langs. Caught in this apathy the real world is only able to audience this exploitation, feel sorry for a few moments, then once the performance is over, divert their attention elsewhere. · Villanova's production was done · well, contrasting the daily job of
the actors with that of the apathy toward the characters they portrayed. Gregg Genovese as the investor Lang reveals his frustrated and exploited feelings he encounters as he is slowly suppressed and conquered by big busi- • ness . John Zeock plays the symbolic businessman Morton Gross who preys upon Lang . Mamet's involvement into the omnipotent big business is also seen in his play "American Buffalo ." "American Buffalo" is set in a junk shop. The owner of the shop has sold a buffalo nickel and wishes to steal it back . He is accompanied by an assistant and another man. "American Buffalo" contains a great deal of stage violence_but as one viewer reacted it was "disturbing but -an appropriate comment on ruthlessness involved in big business." . "American Buffalo" was_,presented at the Annenberg Theater, University of Pennsylvania, through Oct. 15. ·

Only once since I started did we receive a call from the Post Office that something was wrong." Albert added, "I had let someone else try to do it and it was done wrong."

sorry." Albert has had few problems with students . He says, "I'll help long before I'll try to hurt them." Albert's motto is, "If you're going to have a job - either like it or don't be there. " For the last 44 years, he has believed in work. "I've only had 5 jobs in my life," he said. Albert was graduated from Lower Merion High _ School in 1934, followed by three years in the Marine Corps. He then worked in the gear department of the machine shop at the Auto Car truck builders. He quit when he was married . At that time he joined the construction force. Then he came to Cabrini, Also, for 20
years, he worked part-time at Sun Oil. He left last year. Albert will be married 32 years next month, and he has one son. In addition to his jobs, Albert spent 25 years as an active volun-. teer on the Merion Fire Brigade of Ardmore. It consisted of routine drills and assistance at local fires. For eight more years, he was an active member, but without participation in drills or fires. For six additional years, he nas been a retired member. While he was an active volunteer, Albert recalled a scene 20 years ago when he assisted in an attempted rescue of two men who were crushed by a fallen girder. Also, after he had left the Auto-Car truck builders, they had a fire, and he assisted as a Merion Fire Brigade of Ardmore volunteer. Until last year, Albert bowled regularly for the Sun Oil league. Up until a few years ago, he bowled for a local team too. Just as many changes have occurred in Albert's life, he has seen changes in Cabrini. "Today's students are more easy going and have more freedom," he stated. "For the first five or six years here, I never saw a girl in curlers or smoking," he added. Albert continued that, "If I had my choice or had to support a student, I'd choose Cabrini. I like it here . I wouldn't be as dedicated as I am if I didn't." Asked what his biggest headache was, Albert replied, "Change." Until last year, Albert used to pay back all money lost in machines. This year, however, the Student Goverment Association has taken over the responsibility . Albert revealled that, "I always think of school and work when I'm not here. I enjoy seeing the students around and miss them during the s•Jmmer."

Weekend includes a queen BY LISA SHERWOOD
In addition to Parents' Weekend's usual activities, this year was expanded to include a volleyball and soccer game and the crowning of a Homecoming Qµeen. Parents' Weekend began on Saturday, Oct. 21 with a volleyball game which Cabrini won against Academy of the New Church. A soccer game, Cabrini vs. Williamson, was held in the afternoon. The Cavaliers, however, were beaten by Williamson, 1-0. The Homecoming queen, her court, and their escorts were introduced during halftime of the soccer game. Chosen by the members of their respective classes, Cindi DeRitis, '79, was elected queen and Lea Bisconte, '79, Vicki Epifano, '79, Carol Bear, '80, Caroline Ranoia, '81, and Jackie Mirandi, '82 were chosen as members of her court .

meets,
Romano receives award BY ROSEMARY LYNCH
The Sheraton-Valley Forge Hotel was the setting for the annual luncheon of the Cabrini College Alumni Association . This event took place on Saturday , Oct. 7, with a cocktail reception at 11 a.m . The reception was followed by the luncheon at 12:30 p.m. The luncheon centered around a sports theme; this included a special presentation by Mrs. Helen Goodwin, chairperson, department of Physical Education and director of women's athletics, and Dr. Jolyon Girard, assistant professor of history and director of men's athletics. Mrs. Goodwin and Dr. Girard spoke about the expansion of Cabrini's athletic program. Special recognition was given to members of the classes of 1963,
1968 and 1973.
Mrs . Donald Zager '64 and Mrs. Thomas Costello '71 spoke on the alumni association over the past year and discussed future plans . This included the planning of our Junior /Senior weekend. The association, for the fourth year, presented its honorary alumnus award. The recipient of this award was Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy. This is the first time the award was given to a male. Dr. Romano also became the first faculty me'mber ever to receive the award. • The festivities ended with an informal modeling show by James L. Cox Sports Shops, Bryn Mawr and Paoli. Sports clothes and equipment, modeled by members of the alumni, became the hit of the afternoon.
Wigwam opens under new management ing and balancing the books. When asked why she applied for the job, Tori replied, ·"the money." SGA is paying her $50 a month, which is something every student knows is in limited supply. Tori is also able to continue on the work-study program. But as Tori found out, the job is very demanding. In addition to keeping the books in order, she must buy all the needed supplies, organize the scheduling of workstudy students, and keep the Wigwam running smoothly. The job · holds many responsibilities, which are in addition to Tori's studies. Jeannmarie Turner, an English/Communication major, · said she enjoys working in the Wigwam because "you get to meet a lot of people." She meets not only residents, but commuters and Evening Division students are also among those who frequent the
Wigwam. For those wondering about the Wigwam's food, many think it is pretty good. This year they have done away with ready made sandwiches which are popped in a microwave; everything is strictly homemade, just like mom used to make. Some items on the menu that may tempt your taste buds are: Italian and tuna hoagies, hamburgers, cheeseburgers and steak sandwiches. To quench your thirst they have ice cold sodas and, for dessert, ice cream sandwiches. The Wigwam is open every night from 6:45 to 11 and ,l'uesday and Thursday afternoons t"rom 1 to 4. The Wigwam is not strictly for eating. Socializing can be done there too: It offers a nice comfortable atmosphere to meet your friends, shoot the breeze, and listen to the stereo.

What ·do you think?
BY MARIE PIZZUTO
The Theater Lab is offering a delightful program for children as well as adults in its fall production of "The Sleeping Beauty." The play was adapted for the stage by a junior at Cabrini, Marie Pizzuto. The cast includes the children of . the Drama Workshop, a new program at Cabrini which offers dance and drama classes for children on Saturdays. Crystal Rudinski, a freshman, will be playing the title role, with Jim Morrow, a 1978 graduate of Cabrini playing Prince Philip. Ed Cunningham will portray the King, and Denise Cobb the Qµeen. Some of the other cast members include Mary Alice Fitzpatrick as the good, but sometimes zany fairy, Dazzeline, with Lea Bisconte playing the wicked fairy, Maleficent. The cast is enormous and talented, and they will be displaying their abilities in dance, song and acting. _ The play is a blend of drama and dance and promises to be a charming production. Daniele Perna, the director, is receiving able assistance in staging some of the musical numbers by Carol Palidora. Martha Cavanagh, a graduate student at Villanova who graduated from : Cabrini in 1976, will be assisting Mr. Perna in musical direction.

Donna Mullen, Senior, History Major. "I think the entrees have improved there's more of a variety. The $1.10 complete lunch for commuters is economical. But they could improve on lines - seems like you wait forever." Frank Morelli, Freshman, Bilogy Major. "I think it could be better, because a lot of the meals contain too many starches and a lot of the stuff is fried and greasy."
Terri McGovern, Sophomore, Social Science Major. "It's better than last year but I think they should have more variety. The people who work there could be friendlier."
Al Iannucci, Junior, Business Administration Major. "I think improvements can be seen in the quality of the food this year as opposed to Saga. But the overall service leaves something to be desired."
Mary Jane Wallace, Sophomore, Elementary Education and Early Childhood Major. "I think there's too much hamburger. You can't buy anything a la carte at lunch. I think last year's was better."

Shelves and shelves of subjects can hold your interest for hours. Look back over this article. There must be something that in- terests you.

noticed by the spectators; her BY ST. BEATRICE WCKEY There com'es along every few name - Carol Ramos; her posiyears in a school's athletic depart- tion - setter. Carol, who is presently a junior, ment a special type of athlete. For the women's volleyball team one · has played volleyball since her junior year in high school in the Phillipines. Even then she seemed to offer much promise as a superb setter, but according to Carol she never liked the idea of being a setter. Her feelings on this have changed drastically since her two years at Cabrini. She now feels tremendous confidence in being a setter and part of this feeling can be credited to her teammates and her • coach who have encouraged her from the beginning. ,.,., When I interviewed some of the A players on the varsity, they had this to say about Carol: "She is a super player and a super teammate along with being a number one setter/' says Maureen Burns. Aunnie CAROL RAMOS ·gets ready to Bedard; team ca~tain, echoed those exact same words. Coach return. Helen Goodwin had this to say could say that all the players are about her: "Carol has magnificent special in their own right, but timing. She is cool, calm, collected there is one particular player who, and poised."

nessed for myself first hand this talented player. ·Everything that was said about her I saw demonstrated on the court that day. I found myself fascinated by her calmness during pressure moments. She seemed to almost set a tone for the rest of her team. At present, Carol is a resident student living in the Mansion. Her first year of college w·as spent in her homeland, the Phillipines, at Ateneo De Manila University. She decided to come to the states to study, after her sister who attended Bryn Mawr College, convinced her that the value of education here was better than what she was receiving. Carol made the move after completing her freshman year in the Phillipines. She became interested in Cabrini through her aunt who lives in Strafford. . After graduation Carol plans to return to the Phillipines where she hopes to establish her own business in the area of computer programming. In the meantime, Cabrini has the remainder of this season and all of next season to reap the benefits of this "star player."

NAIA and the women's teams are in the PAIA," said Girard.
To meet the demand of being in the big leagues, the Athletic Association has endeavored to improve the sports facilities on campus. Improvements have been made outside and in. The Dixon Trust Fund was tapped to pay all the money for these improvements being made. New improvements in Sacred Heart Hall are the new glass
basketball backboards and a complete body building weight set for the weight room. Outdoors, the stands and scoreboard are new, and the soccer field has been completely refurbished. To be ordered this year are a portable backstop and portable soccer goals. The purpose of these is to make the soccer field an allpurpose field. This will help to accommodate a field hockey team in the Fall or a Lacrosse •team in the Summer and Spring.
