Barabuscio, Lynch elected BY RON KATKOCIN
Junior Sal Barabuscio and Sophomore Detsy Lynch are the newly elected president and vice president of the Student Government Association. ·Election results were announced Monday, Dec. 4, and Barabuscio and Lynch won by a large margin over the two opposing parties of Carol Bear and Tom Anderson, and Tori Ryan and Mike Stevens . The two will take office Jan. 22, 1979.
All other SGA Executive Board positions have been filled and no run-off elections were required. Included among the new officers are: Junior Maureen De Leo, recording secretary; Sophomore Connie Aiello, treasurer; Sophomore Cindy Cristinzio, corresponding secretary; Junior Lisa Sherwood, social activities chairperson; Junior Kelly Coyle and Sophomore Tanya Nelson. social activities chairperson's assistants. Barabuscio has had experience on SGA as social activities chair. person's assistant this year. Some of the issues with which be plans to deal are revisions in the dormitory
noise policy and parietals, revisions in the campus party policy and allocations of some dormant SGA funds. Barabuscio said that the SGA constitution "does not adequately spell out" what is meant by noise in the dormitory. "I would like to see it more clearly defined," he said. He added, "The Student Center in Sacred Heart Hall will be completely redone to encourage student use, and that includes for studying." In regard to parietals Barabuscio thinks that "on-campus people should have access to the dorms until at least midnight on weekdays and from 2 or 3 o'clock (a.m.) on weekends, And I don't mean just the lobbies, I mean the rooms." He said he will present his proposals to the Board of Trustees, but he does not know the chances of accomplishing them. Revisions in the p_llrti polic_l' are also a concern ofBarabusclo's. He said he would like to "do away with the form" that is required by the dean of students for all on-campus parties. "A person of college age should be responsible enough to have a party without a form," he said.
Barabuscio also said he will increase budgets for classes and clubs. "There is money in an SGA account that has been there for the past two administrations," he said. He said he was "not sure" where it came from and that it amounts to "roughly $7,000, though I'm not positive." Barabuscio said he would like to retain a large portion of the money "to keep SGA solvent," but that he would appropriate "two or three thousand for classes and clubs." He cited the recent debt incurred by the cheerleaders as a good way of using the funds. SGA Vice-President Lynch plans to "commit myself to the job and follow up on all our promises." She would like SGA to have "a better working relationship with administration." "I plan to work with Sal as a team," Lynch said. Together they uld li ke to i v " mo.re responsbiffty to members of Uie executive board," Lynch said . Lynch, who is the president of the sophomore class at present, said her "first priority" would be her job as SGA vice-president and

his ninth year at Cabrini. In addition to his classes here, he teaches evening courses at Immaculata College and Rosemont College. Dr. DeTurck feels that teaching elsewhere gives him an opportunity to see "how the other half lives" and also "gives one the chance to fully appreciate the facilities at Cabrini." Dr. DeTurck is also adviser to the Biology and Ecology Clubs. The Ecology Club's work on the formal gardens is progressing well, according to Dr. DeTurck. Many bulbs have been planted and "you can expect to see flowers in the spring." He is confident that both of the clubs will continue their good work in his absence. While Dr. DeTurck is gone, Dr. Irene Matejko, formerly of Fordham University, will teach the Ecology-Evolution section. Dr. Matejko is currently teaching one section of General Biology here. Mike Glacken, a junior Biology major, feels that Dr. DeTurck's absence will be a "tremendous loss to the department. He is the hardest working teacher I've ever encountered - the least boring and at the same time the most demanding," he said. Mike Stevens, a sophomore Biology major , has Dr . DeTurck as his adviser . "Dr . DeTurck's presence will be missed," Stevens said . "He is depended upon for guidance in our major ." Dr . DeTurck will resume teach ing in the fall semester, 1979.

Government's term ends~ SGA evaluated for year BY JOHN GALLAGHER AND KITSYIIUMES
Last year Student Government Association President Leslie Hickman outlined her goals for the '78 administration. The prime goal was to serve the student body better by answering tp its needs and complaints. In order to meet this goal, the SGA office in Sacred Heart Hall was refurnished and an attempt was made to keep it open more often with a representative on duty. The office has also been redecorated and a new stereo set is in use. Fifty dollars worth of parlor games are on order. When asked if the new SGA office policy has gotten the student body in general more involved, Hickman answered, "No, they're still their same old selves." Other projects were proposed by Hickman's administration. Some were successful while others were not. One, "Clean up Cabrini," was a success with students collecting trash and turning it in for one dollar a bag . Another project was to get guest speakers on campus. David Marston , Ernest Kline and Dick Schulze all accepted invitations to speak but ended up sending
representatives instead. A bubble gum blowing contest and kissing marathon were planned but did not take place. However, the first Homecoming QJ!eenat Cabrini did reign this semester. SGA also set goals concerning things bearing on student life at Cabrini. They set out to improve the student center, game room and to keep the Wigwam open more often. The student center has been improved in a number of ways and the game room has been fortified with new machines from Lecco vending company. The Wigwam's new manager is Dona Monforto. Certain policies were also looked into by SGA. The -parietal system was scrutinized, but is on a trial basis so no change occurred. A handbook revision was proposed and carried out with a change in the noise policy. Another ambition of the SGA was to get a student representative, Sal Barabuscio, on the Board of Trustees . A Memorial Fund has been established for students or members of their families who pass away . The new ad111inistration, under the direction of Barabuscio and Detsy Lynch, starts Jan . 22, and is expected to continue the new plans and policies enacted .

Dear Editor : I believe that a round of applause must be sounded for Leslie Hickman and Susan O'Hagan, the outgoing president and vice-president of the Student Government Association, for the well-balanced · job that these two people accomplished during their administration. · As one of the longest serving members of SGA, I have seen three full administrations and I can honestly say that I believe that this Student Government Executive Board truly performed its duties to the best of its ability under the excellent direction of Ms. Hickman and Ms. O'Hagan. Thus, I would simply like to say thank you to these officers whom I have had the pleasure of working with and who have perservered through the hard times and achieved a job well done. Sincerely, Maria Pia Carusi

Another factor which she took into consideration was that since she is not familiar with the spring semester duties it would be easier on everyone if someone new started out in
January . As she states, "I was going to wait until May, but finally decided to leave in January for the college's sake as much as my own." Before coming to Cabrini, Etherington lived in Connecticut for ten years where she worked as
Then Mr. Isadore Axler was hired and as Betty states, "the job required too much bookkeeping." So after a year and a half of working in an office, Etherington switched to the job of head resident, first at Grace Hall for three and a half years and then at the Mansion for two years.
Etherington found out about her present full-time position when the former secretary , Collins , suggested she take on the position along with being a part-time resi-. ctent assistant. The job of secretary-to dean -of'students i o es a lot of phone work, setting up appointments for the counseling center and composing the weekly activity paper: ,"This Week at Cabrini."

' Science workshop offers career info BY MARIE PIZZUTO A Careers in , Science Workshop was recently held in the library conference room. Guest speakers included Dr . Rhonda Karp, head of the department of cytotechnology at Jefferson University Hospital, and Mr. Harry Biser, assistant director of admissions, also from Jefferson Hospital. Representing the medical technology area is Mrs. Shirley Norton, head of that department at Bryn Mawr Hospital. · The workshop is part of a series of the same conferences that were held throughout the fall semester. The purpose of these is, as explained by Arlene Kesselman , the career guidance director here at Cabrini, "to inform students about various careers in different fields of science, to make them aware of how to apply for graduate studies, as well as to give the students the opportunity to discuss the experiences of experts in various fields, ranging from graduate students to departme ·nt heads." · Also included in the panel of speakers is Lt. Commander Michael S. Seider, head of recruiting and careers from the Naval Depart ment, spokespersons from the Environmental Protection Agency, and representatives from both biological and chemical occupations. The panel also included Patricia Haupt, an alumna from Cabrini, and presently a nurse at Lankenau Hospital in Philadelphia, along with medical students from the Medical College of Pennsylvania. They discussed different career avenues, their experiences working and going through medical school. The workshop was held on Tuesday, Dec. 5 at 7:30 p.m. and was the fourth session held this semester. "Finding Your Way as a Consumer" was the topic of discussion on Thursday, Nov. 30, with Lucy Taylor as guest speaker . She presented general information to students about warrenties, car loans, swindles, renting an apartment and signing contracts. Kesselman has this to say about the response of the students to the career conferences, "The students who came were very interested and actively participated in the discussions, but I would like to see more students take advantage of this opportunity." The alumni from the class of 1978 were sent a questionnaire from the counseling center concerning positions they may be applying for, their earning capacities and whether they need help in searching for a job . Of course the center is also available to help any student in finding full or part-time employment.

Vandelism,theft observed BY SHEILA
GBE
AND LISA SHERWOOD
Vandalism and theft are more evident on Cabrini's campus this year . This may be due to the kinds of articles involved and the amount of time in which these acts take place . Within the past year several items of great value have been stolen. In November 1977, $30,000 worth of Persian rugs were stolen from the Mansion foyer . Betty Etherington , head resident at the time, says that they have never been found. The biology department has had two scales worth $800 each stolen within a year. Numerous other items have been stolen including: a $20 umbrella plant from the faculty lounge , jewelry from the theater , and a batik wall hanging from India from the publications office. Vandalism is also a problem on Cabrini's campus . Mrs . Eve Concannon, of Cabrini College ' s Children School, says that the Children's School has recently had problems with vandals, although it
do e sn't se e m to b e more widespread than in previous years . Playground equipment has been broken and various garden tools that the children use in their activities have been stolen from their shed. Nothing has been taken from inside the school yet. Concannon feels that upgrading secur ity will be impossible because the school is so cut off from the main part of the campus and no one is around there on weekends . According to Sr . Sharon Moran o,_ dean · of students , findings show that there is not really an increase , but rather a different kind of vandalism and theft than in pas t years. Sr. Sharon continued by saying that there is more vandal ism in the parking lot beh ind Sacred Heart Hall. Tires have been slashed and outdoor lights have been broken. Also there are cafeteria dishes being taken and not returned. There are complaints of things disappearing inlhe dorms. Books are being stolen in the library despite the camera used to discourage this action.
And to these the Lord saye .th And it came to pass early in the morning toward the last day of the semester, there arose a multitude smiting their books and wailing . And there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth, for the judgment day was at hand and they were sore afraid . For they had left undone those things which they ought of have done, and they had done those things which they ought not to have done, and there was no help for it. And there were many abiding in the dorm who had kept watch over their books all night, but it availeth naught. But there were some who arose peaceful, for they had prepared themselves. the way and

African student says:
Pres weighs year
-Hove a happy Kundum BY WALTER ACKAH SPECIAL TO LOQ.UITUR
Americans always think of occasions like Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. In Africa , however, we think of Q_µanza, Balcatuei and Kundum. Now let me tell you about Kundum, which is a festival celebrated by the people of Western Ghana . It all begins on the third week of September and lasts two weeks. The festival gets families together to discuss the upkeep of the family and meet old friends. At about 6 p.m. on Sunday · the "Kele" (drum men) would start beating the drums to warn the people that the chief and his elders (advisers) were leaving for the outskirts of the town to pour libation to remember their ancestors. While this is going on the other families would make a little fil'e and sit around it singing while others are crying, remembering the dead . This continues for three days. On Wednesday the drums would continue beating at different times, this time in the town until Saturday to remind the people of how to go about each day's activities. At this time of the year the activities are supposed to be indoors at 9 p.m. Anybody found outside after that time is charged. This is because they believe the ancestors visit the town and discuss how . to keep the town moving. The drumming continues on Thursday and Friday to remind them the celebration is getting nearer . , On Saturday those born in the town and their friends begin to arrive for the big occasion, which takes a turn over on Sunday with beating of drums and people dancing to signify there would be progress the next year. On Sunday morning all families gather together, have their breakfast of native food and greet each other. After breakfast those who have friends go see them and meet their family. Visitors are greeted in every home and the family gathers again for lunch and prepares for a soccer game between the town and another town at 4 p.m. They end the day with discussions with the head of each family.
BY LESLIE HICKMAN President of SGA
Drumming and dancing continue on Monday. From this day nobody is supposed to go to the farm so they try to get sufficient food for the week. Friday is the beginning of the greatest day of the year .' Some families slaughter cows or sheep, and they prepare them for Sunday . All the members of the families gather around the fire at night from about 9 p.m. ti! daybreak , singing and crying and remembering the dead . They drink palm wine and eat Kola to keep them awake while some play native instruments . Saturday is the day all ·members of various families arrive for the grand occasion . In the morning they go around to greet the heads of the families whom they regard as the father of the family who settles disputes and sees to it that all goes well in the family . He is rewarded on that day for the work he has done throughout the year for the family . At 4 p.m. everybody would converge in the king's palace to greet him, while dancing in his Palanquine which is usually carried shoulder high. After about thirty minutes of dancing, the floor would be opened to all people to enjoy the native tune until about 8 p.m . The people then go home and end the day with family dinner before they go to bed. Sunday marks the end of the festivities. The families begin the day with a big breakfast and discussions . In the afternoon they cook their native food of palm nut soup and fu fu for lunch at about 4:30 p.m . They then continue the occasion with a soccer game, but the youngsters end their day with a · dance · ·and competitions to select the best native dancer, while the parents finalize their problems and say farewell to each other , because most of them leave the town early in the morning . Generally the festivals are meant to bring families together. In order not to forget the custom and culture of the olden days, the youth are educated to keep it up. They remember the dead and pay homage to them . Disputes are settled in families . Contributions are made to help build the town. Lastly, festivals are enjoyable occasions which portray culture and customs of a particular tribe.
I wish I could say that serving on Student Government has been a year of success and pleasure but, in an attempt at honesty, I have to say that it's been an "experience." It has been a succession of highs and inevitable lows; never getting accustomed to failure may have been the root of the problem . However, this is not meant to imply that SGA is useless because nothing could be further from the truth . There were times when it felt good to know that personal efforts were appreciated and that all work was not in vain. There is a quote from an issue of "Esquire" that reads, "Student Body President. . . Ma soc h ist ," which sums it all up in a single phrase . Tackling administrative

Rudy Pizzuto and Frank Norcini, who work for Caranfa , say that he is successful because he would rather "work at a job himself than issue the work." Caranfa " gets the job done" many times with limited funds. What is the best way to describe Caranfa? Dr . Frank Saul, director of Cabrini's Evening Division, feels the way to describe Caranfa is as a " creative problem solver. " Caranfa translated the administration 's concepts of the cafeteria and the architect's plans to the language he used in order to do the renovations.

After the Fall semester, Sister Carmen Ferrante, instructor in education and coordinator of secondary education, will no longer be on the faculty at Cabrini. Next semester, Sister Carmen will begin studying for her second master's degree . She plans to attend the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. A theology degree with a specialization in World Missions is her goal. She chose the Catholic Theological Union, which is really a cluster of several schools, "because of its interdiscplinary program," sister said . "It combines the Church's teaching with reflective specialities in different social programs," she added. She was unable to find a suitable program nearby which combined religious values and social

Eucharist ministers named -
BY SR. BEATRUCE HICKEY
Eight members of the college campus community were installed . as Eucharistic Ministers on Sunday, Dec. 3 during the Sunday liturgy . Ministers included Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, Sistef Sharon Morano, Sister Maria Pasqualini , Dr. Joseph Romano, Ray Crew, Terri Nardone, Cindi DeRitis and Maria Pia Carusi. The appointment of these eight people enables them to distribute holy communion at any mass celebrated on the campus. The term for the ministers is the school year of 1978and 1979. Father Jack Replogle, college chaplain, requested the permission to have Eucharistic Ministers back in October. He did this by
writing a letter to the Archdiocesan Liturgical Commission . He received a letter granting him permissfon at the end of November . Father Replogle requested the ministers for two reasons . One was to have lay people and other rel igious involved in one of the various ministries on the campus. The other reason was to assist him in distributing communion to the long lines of people waiting to receive. Father Replogle feels that many liturgical functions should be shared by members of the college community. He remarked, "This ministry fits into the pattern of other Christian ministries of service."

Cabrini group sees N.Y. play BY TERRI NARDONE SPECIAL TO LOQ.UITUR
Editor's Note: (Eighteen Cabrini students went to see the play on Sat., Nov. 18). -
"Da" has been running on Broadway since May, and yet the Morosco Theatre was still full for a November Saturday matinee. The play's popularity is not unfounded. The winner of four Tony awards, "Da," by Dublin-born playwright Hugh Leonard, is the sparkling story of a light, yet powerful and insistent love breaking through the crust of modern cynicism. The setting is Ireland, the year is 1968, and Charlie (David Leary), a dry middle-aged writer , has just buried his Da (Dad), the last vestige of a past he prefers to leave behind. Much to his displeasure, the spirit of Da is still with him-literally. As Da (Barnard Hughes) transports Charlie back in time, and Charlie comes face to face with his mother (Sylvia O'Brien) , his "first boss," (Lester Rawlins), and his younger self (Richard Seer), their Irish stubbornness bat.tie and Charlie gains an understanding he didn't really want. The play ends in a love for Da that Leary has deliberately ill-disguised. It is a rich, induplicable play, warm and heartbreakingly funny, beautifully performed . Directing is Melvin Berhardt. Featured actors include Ralph Williams, Mia Dillon and Lois de Banzie.
Records set
Cavaliers beat Knights BY RON KATKOCIN
The Cabrini Cavaliers opened their 1978-79basketball season by trouncing the Knights of Beaver College, 135-77.The final score set a record for most points scored in one game by the Cavaliers as it shattered the old mark of 108 set last year. ·The Cavaliers never lost the.lead after going ahead 6-4 early in the first half. A balanced effort of dribbling, outside shooting and rebounding allowed the Cavailiers to take a substantial lead. Cavailiers' center Mike Ferguson added to the enthusiasm of the opening night crowd when he made a break-away slam-dunk at 6:35 of the first half to make the score 49-30. Forward John Gallagher set a Cabrini record for most rebounds in one half.
Gallagher smashed the old record of eight as he pulled down 15 rebounds in the first half. The Cavaliers went into halftime leading 63-39. The second half saw much of the same action as the Cavaliers' offense continued to run rampant over the Beaver defense . The Cavaliers received strong bench strength from freshmen John Derham and Tom Woolfolk. Derham connected on seven field goals in seven attempts and Woolfolk came off the bench to pump in 11 points . The game's leading scorer was the Knights' Lewis Johnson, who finished with 34 points. Following Johnson for Beaver were Dave Stewart with 15 and Elliot Gevis with 10. Seven Cabrini players, including
Derham and Woolfolk, scored in double figures . Leading the Cavaliers was Ferguson, who scored 31 points. Following Ferguson were Andy Cullen with 24, Gallagher with 16, John Keating with 15 and Keith Hickman with 14. Gallagher led all rebounders with 17. Keating finished the evening with 13 and Ferguson contributed 12. After the game Coach Jolyon P. Girard said that it was a "nice opportunity for everyone to play. It was good experience for a team with seven freshmen," he said that he was a "little concerned about the defense," but that he was "generally impressed with the beginning effort" and that the young players played well as a team . "That's always encouraging," Girard added.

Fancy feet
Bill Bead beats boredom BY SR. BEATRICE HICKEY
What does senior, Bill Bead, do for his occasional spells of boredom? He lifts things with his toes, writes with his toes and even opens doors with a key stuck between his toes. You may think this is not so difficult, but then you probably have never tried half of the things with your toes that Bill does naturally . Just try picking up a key with your toes, fitting it into a eyhole on a doorknob and turing the knob, all in 26 seconds!
This phenomenon of Bill's has caught on in Counsel Hall. Just three weeks ago some of Bill's friends participated in a contest. The contest was conducted to see who could open Bill's door with a key between their toes in the shortest amount of time. Of course , Bill won, which earned him a great deal of·respect from the other participants.
Sophomore Mike Stevens finds Bill's toe lifting incredible. " I've never seen anything like it, " Stevens said, "since the primates." Bead's roommate , Mike Glacken said, "As a biologist, it's the best example of regressive evolution I've ever seen." It just goes to show you that boredom can be alleviated without spending a penny!
Bill says · that he has been lifting objects with his toes for as long as he can remember. It seems though, that no one ever noticed his tremendous gift until he came to Cabrini last year. If it weren't for the tremendous encouragement of his dorm friends he would have continued to be undiscovered. Since I myself found it difficult to believe that he could do all the things he claimed he could do, I asked for a demonstration. Bill obliged willingly and proceeded to put a book on the floor, open it and tum the pages one by one.
