·Special children are victorious BY KIM HAYES
Many times we forgot the meaning of attending a Christian school. But on Saturday, March 31, no one present could have doubted the warmth, sincerity and kindness which was shown to Special Olympic participants. Students of all grades and majors volunteered to cook, coach, judge, keep score, blow up balloons, decorate or sponsor a student, just to insure a fun day for the participants.
The Special Olympics oath was hanging from a banner on the gym wall. The multi-colored words, "LET ME WIN, BUT IF I CANNOT WIN, LET ME BE BRAVE were IN THE ATTEMPT,"

Mary Jane Wallace, '81, with the assistance of Charlie Gross, '82, and Mike Hilsey, '82, would play a form of follow-the-leader with each student. This method was successful in getting her participants to weave around each cone. John Gallagher, coach of field goal shooting, had to get his participants to shoot from each of the ·six cones placed at different distances from the basket. His

Student not 'lackadaisical'
Tra d•t· b•d • f - 11 . 1 ion I s seniors arewe BY CONNIE AIELLO
BY NORMA PITTMAN
This is a reply to an article in Loquitur's March 12 issue, regarding Cabrini College Business Manager, Mr. William Eichrrer's theory on tuition, and his placing the "lackadaisical attitude towards paying tuition" on the college and/ or the student . · I personally ·transferred to a small college to avoid being shuffled about as a number, losing any resemblance of individuality. However, I found more confusion and less efficiency in Cabrini's Business Office than I would have encountered at a larger college or a university. Placing the blame on the school and students is unjust. _This is only one st-0ry of course, · but it is my experience. My experience is one I have never been presented with until now. I was enrolled for two years in Philadelphia Community College and one year in Temple University . It all began when I initiated a loan for summer school in January of 1978. The loan was held up ( at the school) until April eliminating two of three summer sessions . Why·? Someone forgot to notify me for a needed verification. It doesn't end here . This is only the beginning . In the Fall session of 1978 I received a second check from Cabrini, labeled "Refund of Overpayment." Because it involved quite a few dollars more than I had -expected, I went to the Business Office for verification . The reply was that it was accurate. So what does any struggling, starving, sacrificing, continuing education student with a teenager preparing for college do? Use it.
Now it's December, end of the semester and I receive a bill for $800 which I owe the school. For what? My receipt said paid. I was in total shock the entire holiday : Naturally, I called the Business Office. After endless explaining and no satisfaction, the call was transferred to the Financial Aid Office. At last understanding of the situation, arrangements and admission to the Fall semester, or so I thought . . January 23 and there were no class cards for me, they were at the Business Office where the gentleman I spoken with had no record of our conversation nor did he remember. For ten minutes of my time he called me a liar in no uncertain terms . Though I sat steadfast , my patience had reached the point of rage, when finally, he had instant recall. All I had to do now was sign a promissory note for their mistake and he would allow me to attend classes. Sound like blackmail? Will I have reached a point in my life where this is just one more hurdle for me to overcome? I can shoulder responsibility, I've done so for 17years of my over 20 years . And as the gentleman from the Business Offlee said, "Anyone can make a miSt ake." Why am I telling you this. For two reasons :. one, for those of you this has happened to - no one will know if you don't talk ; two, I do not like my soon to be Alma Mater nor my -Character being labeled "delinquent," or lackadaisical ," when the fault lies within other areas.

"Each table was centerpieced with candles encircled by multicolored butterflies. This gave an added touch of Spring to an atmosphere already freshened by corsages and fashionable attire," reported the Loquitur in May of 1962 about the second annual Sophomore/Senior farewell. Seventeen years later,
Sophomore/Senior Farewell is now a full-fledged tradition that ceremoniously bids farewell to the seniors. • This tradition started when some sophomore students wanted to personally thank the seniors , who were their big sisters as incoming freshmen .

Commuter says not------.-~..Depar ~tment . introduces to alienate yourself In regard to the editorial "Is commuting a crutch?" published in the· Loquitur on March 23, 1979, I would like to add a few of my own views regarding the commuting student . It is my opinion that a majority of commuters alienate them selves from the rest of the college campus while a select few are willing to take the initiative and get involved . These so-called alienated students think tha t they are the lower class citizens of Cabrini College and are treated unjustly . However , it is the commuter that places himself in such a predicament. Rumor has it that the commuters are geared to only one other section of Sacred Heart Hall besides their classrooms and this place is the TV lounge. Some commuters feel that they are unwanted in the cafeteria and other areas of the campus tha t a resident might step foot upon. To my knowledge , though, I have not seen any signs or posters bearing those haunted words "No Commuters Allowed:" I also cannot understand how a commuter knows only other commuting students without having some acquaintances with resident students . It never occurred to me that commuters went to classes with only commuters and residents with only residents students. It all boils down to that one factor . Commuters must take the initiative to be anywhere on this campus. How else do you expect to be somebody if at first you don't try . Commuters must realize that there are plenty of residents who are .just as wary about getting in- volved as commuters. We all have equal rights. · From my experience as commuter rep and also from my active participation in various organizations on campus, I have found myself accepted by both commuters and residents. I also accept both commuters and residents as a whole, not as two segregated groups of people with one having the upper hand on the campus community. The formation of the commuter association is designed to keep the commuters aware of what's going on at Cabrini. However, it must be realized that the only way things will be accomplished is if the commuter gets involv.ed. It can not be an all-talk and no-action association . The commuting sludent must be 'Ylilling to come out of his shell of the lounge and be sensible in his actions and not so rebellious toward the residents. · Home commitments and transportation may present a problem, but it only takes a little initiative to .get anywhere in life and at Cabrini. So commuters, get your act together, start becoming involved, and do something worhwhile with your remaining years at school, instead of sitting back and holding onto that almost crumbling crutch .

The Philosophy Department has made revisions in its major program in addition to offering two new courses. Students majoring in philosophy must now fulfill the following requirements: one course from lower division offerings, three credits in Logic, nine credits from the 300 level course offerings, and nine credits from the 400 level seminars, for a total of 24 credits. History of Philosophy I and II are also recommended . These requirements are aimed at streng thening the department to better prepare students , Joseph Romano , philosophy department chairperson, said . .

Stouffers donated eight kegs of Coca-Cola. Hot dogs were purchased at a nearby store at a djscount. In the course of the day, 400 hamburgers and 350 hot dogs were consumed. . The Special Olympics club made about $100. This money will be used to escort five to 10 exceptional students to Great Adventure. The students are from Swedeland Elementary School, (a school for exceptional .children) which Cabrini has chosen to sponsor. "The money avoids the neces. sity of borrowing," said Sulewski. "The Great- Adventure trip will cost $17 per child," he added. Twice during the day, ''Calhoun The Clown," a magician, displayed his talents for the participants. The magician was really Walter Brenner, husband of Jo Harris Brenner, assistan~ vicepresident for academic affairs. "Calhoun" welcomed assistance from the children in card,

Sister Mary Louise received an award from Williams in behalf of "all who cooperated to make this day a great success ." Maureen Gabe and Sulewski also r,eceived awards. Sulewski accepted his award by saying, "This day could not have been possible without all of you. I would like to thank all the participants who came today. This concludes the 1979Cabrini Special Olympics Game ." About 220 children arrived for Cabrini's Special Olympics. There were 150 participants . About 50 students came from CK center, an adult school. Another 20 special children came to watch their classmates. All participants were mentally retarded. This means their IQ.had to be 70 or below.

The Bloomsburg State College team, ages 10-21, defeated the PEP (program for exceptional people) team . The PEP players were age 18 and up, but team qi.embers had never competed before. Shikellamy, a team consisting of 16 and 17 year olds, had been working out on Saturday's for three months. They played Kane, a team also consisting of 16 and 17 year olds. Kane, member of Special Educa'tion League in Philadelphia , was able to practice every day in preparation. B}oomsburg defe~ted PEP 31-12 and Kane defeated Shikellamy, 52-26.

This Summer, for the first time, Cabrini will offer an on-campus children's theater production. The theater laboratory is sponsoring the production of "The Red Shoes," which will run the last two weeks in May and the first two weeks in June . Area elementary and nursery schools are being invited to come to Cabrini for this special event .
The children can bring their lunches and enjoy a picnic here in addition to seeing the play . The production is also available for performances off campus for neighboring schools. The show is geared toward audience participation and was very successful this Spring when it ran during February and March on campus.
