On-Campus housing for 1980:
Under Investigation BY MAUREEN WILLIAMS
•
Vol. XXXVI, No . 3
In the midst of the present residency situation, Cabrini is faced with a projected increase in the number of people wishing oncampus housing during the 1980-81 academic year . According to Estelle Oristag- · lio, director of admissions, Cabrini is expecting a larger enrollment of freshmen during the 1980-81 academic year than the present 1979 freshman enrollment . During the 1980-81 academic year, 150 students are projected to enroll full time and by the 1982-83 academic year, Cabrini projects to have a total of 600 full-time students. According to Sister Sharon Morano, dean of students, of the 150 students expected to enroll during the 1980-'81 academic year, "At least 66 2/3 percent are projected to want on-campus housing." This means that approximately 99 people of the 1980freshman class will want oncampus housing. . This presents a problem, considering that Cabrini's dormi-
tories and three houses will accommodate only approximately 235 residents . .Although some residents living on campus at present will be graduated, some will transfer, and others will leave due to their academic programs, there still isn't enough space to accommodate the increasing number of students wishing to be residents. According to Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, college president, the college has already begun considering alternate possible solutions to the increased number of residents. Sister Mary Louise Sullivan _ said, "There have already been two extended staff meetings dealing with the residency problem of 1980." The Master Planning Committee has discussed the problem and the Board of Trustees met on Monday, October 15 to discuss the issue. Sister Mary Louise Sulliv.an said, "The Board of Trustees will form a subcommittee which will revie _w all possibilities." The subContinued on Page 2

Council. of College Affairs Searches For Chairperson BY MARIE PIZZUTO
This month the Council of College Affairs is scheduled to elect a new chairperson . The announcement will be made at the regular meeting of the council, whictt will be held on October 22, at 4 p.m .
"The Council of College Affairs has its purpose to facilitate communication and to actively seek academic and social improvement." Council members nominated for chairperson are : Father John Replogle , chaplain; Kathleen Gavigan, chairperson of history department; and Jan Buzbee, public relations director, who is a new member on the council. Buzbee replaced Betty Beaman, former financial aid officer, who resigned from the administrative staff earlier this semester .
The present chairperson is Joseph Romano, acting academic dean . Since the office of dean is considered an Ex-Officio position on the council, a new chairperson will be chosen. Sister Sharon Morano, dean of students, and Sal Barabuscio , president of the Student Government Association, are also Ex-Officio members. The council is ·comprised of four faculty members, four members of the administrative staff and eight students. Marice Bezdek, asso .ciate professor of English, serves as secretary. "At one time the Council was the only tripartite organization on campus," Romano said . Members can be elected from outside as well as from within the council. "The Council of College Affairs has as its purpose to facilitate communication and to actively seek academic and social improvement among the students, faculty and administration of Cabrini College," according to the constitution of the council. Since its initiation on May 24, 1967, the Council has been instrumental in contributing to the growth of the college, according to Romano. Some of the ideas recommended by the Council in the past were the exploration of the pass-fail system for courses in 1967,analysis of the dress code which was in effect
here in 1969, and the preregistra tion system as it now stands . In 1970 the Council discussed bringing more cultural events on campus . The idea of opening a counseling facility on campus was first discussed by the council in 1971, and the first counseling physiologist was brought on cam pus that same year . More recently, the Council initiated the service and leadership awards which were approved last year .

Letters ~~~~~)t~~~:~":~~'~:~g v~~~~~:Rs:tps RA spe,aks on rumors To the Editor: As a member of the residency staff in the Mansion I would like to set the record straight. (
On Monday, Oct. 6, the resident students of Cabrini were informed simultaneously of the alternatives being presented to the Cushing Girls. These alternatives were: to remain at Cushing or split up and move back on Campus in Father Jack's house, the Counseling Center, Woodcrest and the Mansion. At our dorm meeting some of the Mansion girls expressed legitimate concerns, a!Jlong which were: 1. phones - as it stands now there is a shortage on the second floor - additional people will compound the problem 2. washers - are two washers and one dryer_enough for fifty five girls? 3. showers - will an extra eleven girls create an unlivable situation? 4. electricity - as it is there is at least one fuse blown each week - is it practical to burden the obviously overburdened system with eleven more people? 5. fire hazard - in September we were told that the Mansion was at full capacity and additional residents would create a fire hazard 6. the study room - we are losing our study room - a room that is in constant use. Will there be provisions made for another study area? Since there were questions that neither Sister Maria nor I were able to answer, the girls asked if they could have the opportunity to aadress these questions as a group to Sister Sharon and Gus Nicoletti. This seems to have created a lot of needless resentment. As usual Cabrini's Rumor Center was working overtime . 'Mansion Girls' were being referred to as spoiled , selfish snobs. It was rumored that the girls from the Mansion were not willing to have the girls from Cushing as part of their dormitory. Nothing could be further from the truth. The questions and concerns that were raised on Oct. 6 were legitimate, mature and realistic. The purpose of meeting with Sister Sharon and Gus was to air these concerns and to look for possible answers to their questions. Everyone is concerned that these ridiculous rumors be stopped now. The Cushing Girls have borne more than enough of the burden, but a move back to campus creates a new set of problems ( admittedly more enticing than problems particular to Cushing). As Jong as we realize that the problems . do not end when our fellow students return from Cushing, we can deal with the problems in an intelligent manner . We welcome back our classmates and our friends to campus where they belong! 'Sincerely, Tori Ryan, Mansion RA

Saul said that student housing for the fall of 1980was the immediate future concern of the meeting.
"Master Planning does not see Cushing as a solution next year." "We want to be able to act now, not wait until the spring, as we had last year," Saul said, concerning the housing. · Saul said that "Cushing hasn't worked out as a solution, and now we are projecting a need for 70 new spaces for fall of 1980and there is no space on campus."

Practice for SAT BY REGINA O'LEARY
Every Sunday afternoon , from now until Thanksgiving, a person might see an overflow of cars in the Sacred Heart Hall parking Jot. This is due to students attending the Multiprep program at Cabrini. But what is Multiprep? Multiprep is a speciall y designed program of testing , which enables students to prepare for the Scholastic Aptitude Test , or the Medical School Admissions Test. So, on Sundays , approximately 70 junior and senior high school students, from nearby Montgomery, Chester, Delaware and surrounding counties come to Cabrini College to learn how to prepare for their SAT tests. The SAT section of the Multi prep program lasts approximately one and one half months. This program is held four times a year, some time before the actual testing takes place . Verbal, mathematical and reading techniques, similar to those on the actual tests, are emphasized . The Medical School Admissions section is similar to that of the SAT
section, excep ·t the sessions last for approximately two and onehalf months . Their two and onehalf months consist of 12 four-hour sessions and two nine-hour sessions. It is in these nine-hour sessions that simulated tests are given .. Juniors and seniors in college take these test s, which prepare them for the Medical School Admissions Tests. These testing sessions, unlike the SAT, take place only twice a year . The teachers in the program are specialists in their fields of teaching . They have been recruited from the facul ties of leading colleges and universities . Cabrini has been one of many schools who have hosted the Multiprep program . In past years, other schools hosting the test have been : Bryn Mawr College, Haverford College, Rosemont College, and the University of Pennsylvania, which takes care of the Medical Admissions Testing for the Philadelphia area. William Eichner, vice-president of Business and Finance at Cabrini College, said, "The students utilize Cabrini, and they are happy with the program ."

the national college level in most cases ( although results were not significantly higher.). At Cabrini, intellegence and trust reached average range. The students scored highest in social reputation. This means, the freshmen tested are more conscientious and hold a strongersuper-ego than the average American college student. This group also tended to be a little more conventional than other college students. Through this test, Sicoli concluded that the class of '82 is a mentally healthy class. The final test given was the Strong-Campbell Vocational Interest Inventory to compare the students' career interests with people already working at that particular job. Six categories were covered: 1) realistic (working outdoors, with machines); 2) investigative (mathematicians, physicians); 3) artistic (artists, poets) ; 4) social (teachers, counselors); 5) enterprising (business executives, salesmen); and 6) conventional ( bank examiners, computer operators). Cabrini fell within the national norms and scored highest in the social area followed by the artistic area. The investigative interests for the females dropped below the norm . Therefore, Socoli will continue working with other psychologists in helping freshmen adjust to college. Sicoli feels she has an "ethical obligation ' ' to help the students.

Sister Reioins Cabrini Campus BY AL SALMIERI
•
At first glance, Sister Eileen Tsoku looks no different from any of the other sisters here at Cabrini College, but she is quite unique . Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, Sister Eileen now lives right here in the convent on the Cabrini Campus. Until 1970, Sister EiTeen was teaching in Swaziland, South Africa , an independent state ruled by the British . A member of the order of the Servants of Mary ( O.S.M. ) Sister E ileen taught many different African languages and also English , to her students in what ~e would call a high school. The stude _nts were from a variety of different economic groups ranging from the poor to the very rich . While in South Africa, Sister Eileen met and worked closely with many Cabrini Sisters who had established two missions in Swaziland. Cabrini Sisters , along with the Administration at Cabrini College, arranged for Sister Eileen to stay at the Cabrini Convent while studying for her degree. Upon her arrival to Cabrini Sisters were waiting to go to South Africa to teach at the Missions. Sister Eileen stepped in and taught them the many African languages and also the different customs which would be helpful to them upon their arrival to this foreign country . For the next four years Sister Eileen studied and lived as a member of the Cabrini Community. · During this time Sister Eileen recalls, "I came to know everyone
personally, everyone was so nice." She said she felt right at home here and quite comfortable. In May of 1974, Sister Eileen received her degree "in Social Science . Wanting to get back where she was needed most, Sister Eileen ,left for South Africa that following month . After her return to Swaziland, Sister Eileen took on the job of Superior General. She worked in the Administrative Division , the highest office available to anyone , for the full five-year term
which just expired in September of this year . She again decided to continue her education . She arrived here at Cabrini on Sept. 22. She is studying for her Masters Degree in Religious Studies at Villanova. Sister Eileen says she hopes to obtain her degree by December of 1980. "I will return right after," she said, "and I would like to teach in a University or a Seminary, but most of all, I would just like to help people."
Mike Spinelli-Sophomore . " The quality has decreased. The service is slow . There's an increase of people in the cafeteria ."

President sees Pope 3 Times BY SISTER MARY LOUISE SULLIVAN, M.S.C. PRESIDENT
Serendipity is probably the best word to describe my participation in three Papal assemblies during the recent visit of John Paul II . I was surprised to have received one of the coveted gold tickets for the reception of the Pope at the Philadelphia Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul. I arrived at the church two hours before time, only to find all seats taken . My vantage point from the rear of the cathedral was good but I expected that the Pope would be a mere speck on my horizon . Three minutes before His Holiness entered the main doors I was literally scooped up from my seat and deposited directly behind Mayor Rizzo and Governor Thornburgh. No more than 10 or 15 feet separate me from the Holy Father , all during the reception.
When it was time to leave, I was marched out with the honored dignitaries and again unexpectedly landed a front row seat, directly between a congressman from Washington and a state senator from Harrisburg . Pure serendipity! My next participation was at the academic convocation at the Catholic University of America in Washington , D.C. Here Pope John Paul II addressed an assemblage of Catholic college presidents , theological faculty heads and invited educational representatives of various faiths. The Pope's remarks centered upon the need for colleges and universities to .pursue truth. His Holiness bantered a bit with the receptive crowd by referring to his own "attempts" as university professor in his native Poland . Some words were addressed directly to theologians, praising their inqui-
ry , but cautioning 'them to avoid presenting untested hypotheses in the classroom. His Holiness also seemed to understand the financial difficulties encountered by independent high er education. In general, I got the impression that the Pope's remarks may have been abbreviated because he was running so late. Many of the spectators were expecting more .of a message to educators. Aside from the formal remarks, I was able from a sixth row seat this time, to catch many of the personal reactions of the Pope. He was delighted with the musical presentation and overjoyed when he spotted just beyond us in the audience a woman drama coach from Poland whom he had known in his younger days and who is currently spending a year at Catholic University's Drama Department. Their embrace brought tears to many eyes.
d id not chose me, no I chose you" BY
SISTER PATRICIA DUNLEAVY, MSC
John Paul II has certainly touched my life by the simplicity and love of his person. I have never been more reassured or strengthened in my vocation than by this dedicated, simple, humble servant of the Lord. This man to me is symbolio of WHAT Church should be and HOW the person of Jesus can be seen incarnate. I applaud His Holiness for his reminder to the priests and men and
women religious of their roles and place in the church. I stand reaffirmed as to the meaning of my life as a woman who promises to live poverty, chastity and obedience as a means of salvation for the Church, and as a witness of God's kingdom here and now. Sister Theresa Kane, a Sister of Mercy, expressed a desire to our Holy Father "to be open to and respond to the voices coming from the women of this country whose desire is for serving in and through the Church as full participating members."

Ca~rini .grad: 18 years later BY THERESA COLLINS
Did you ever wonder what happened to the Class ~f 1961? Well, Gretchen Bartholomew , clqss of; 61, is presently residing in Wayne, Pa . and working in the office of Sanford Rose Association, a plumbing organization. While attending Cabrini, Bartholomew majored in elementary education and for a few years after graduation she did substitute teaching in various schools. When Cabrini first started, it was a small , struggling two-year college for women. As we now know, the college is co-ed and offers a four year program in liberal arts and sciences. Bartholomew said, "Mother Ursula MSC, president of the college then, deserves a great deal of credit not only as principal but for everything because that is what she did, everything."
Bartholomew feels that the college did very well over the years and a major factor is.the start of co-education. "I bel1eve a small girls col!P.ge is over with for now.

that Cabrini, as always, offers excellent programs and has an overall fantastic staff that are interested in helping their students in whatever way possible. Although she is not very active with alumni organizations and has not seen the college recently , Bartholomew · is kept up-to-date with matters concerning the school through daily newspapers and church bulletins. According to Bartholomew , Cabrini always had great programs in education and with the addition of The Children's School and its programs for the handicapped they are sure to be wellknown. "Ca brini is and probably always will be an outgoing school. With this attitude, I have no doubt at all that they will achieve their intended goal whatever it may be," Bartholomew said.
Eight ioin staff BY JIM LAWLOR
Eight new faculty members were added to the staff of Cabrini College this year. All were hired on a part-time basis. Two of the eight were hired in the biology department. According to Mrs. Kruse, department chairperson, the advantage of hiring part time faculty is that most of them teach elsewhere and are very qualified. Kruse also said that a good turnover of faculty allows for a good flow of fresh ideas. Also specialists can be brought in to teach certain courses. One new faculty member in biology is a Ph.D. candidate at Drexel, Irene Darocha. Kruse said . that Darocha "seems very happy here." A student of hers, Ron Lynch echoed that sentiment and also added that, "You know she knows her material, and isn't just reciting the text." The second new teacher in biology is a well traveled midwesterner, Dewey Myers, Ph.D. Myers was raised outside Chicago, although he went to high school in Toronto. He has a bachelors degree from Dennison, a masters from Texas A&M, and a doctorate from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. He is currently working as a post doctoral research fellow for the Academy of Natural Science. Myers teaches biology with a special interest, "I would like the student to think biologically, not just to look at something and name it, but to ask why it is as is, and why it's in its surrounding." A student of Myers', Maria Carbone, said, "He likes for you to just think things through, not t·o memorize them, but everybody isn't a biology major." Myers likes Cabrini because he feels people can be comfortable with one another and a student can have a closeness with his teacher . Two new teachers were added to the Philosophy department. When Joseph Volpe was hired , he was asked to teach two courses. He couldn 't but he recommended a peer from the University of Pennsylvania, Harvey Lape for one.
Volpe is a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania . He did his undergraduate work at the University of Washington. Currently, he is working on his dissertation. He teaches philosophy at U of P. Some of his courses include Freshmen Seminar and Biomedical Ethics. At Cabrini he teaches •the Art of Thinking. A student of Volpe's, Barbara Campbell said, "The class is much too big." Volpe feels that he could be more effective teaching a smaller group. He does like the size of Cabrini. He says, "There are a number of advantages to going to a small liberal arts school, I like the feel of it." Harvey Lape is working for his Ph.D at Penn also. He did his undergraduate work at Hamilton College. His speciality is Ancient Philosophy. Lape likes the students in his History of Philosophy class. He says they are "very conscientious, alert, and at 8:30 in the morning they look like they want to learn." As far as Cabrini is concerned, Lape loves it here and thinks it's great. He finds the campus quite beautiful and different from the University of Penn. Theresa Collins, a student of Lape's, said, "At first I didn't understand the class but once I got to know Lape and put my mind to work, I like it." A new addition to the business department is Bruce R. Baker , C.L.U . A Chartered Life Underwriter, Baker operates his own insurance business . The course he teaches is Risk and Insurance. This is Baker 's first teaching experience, "I'm thoroughly enjoying it," he said. "I find it very challenging to try to schedule into my days everything that has to be done." Al Iannucci , a senior business major said of Baker, "There are some rough edges, but he conveys his point well and can give good examples because he works in that field everyday." Other new teachers are Joseph Qµinn in business, Gillian Caffey in special education, and Marilyn Parks in fine arts.
Will tradition live on? BY FLORENCE LANIA
Names such as Goosey Night, Mischief Night, and Cabbage Night all basically describe the same mayhem. What does October 30th mean to Cabrini Students? Ellen Corsentino recalls last year as exciting, "It was a great chance to go out and have a blast and ventilate your frustrations." Tami McEntee says, "Although I didn't have a chance to go out last year I sure as hell will make it a point to go out this year." Joe Kravitz plans to celebrate October 30th as "Another night of Shananigans and Chaos." Nancy Sullivan says, "I'll definitely be out her?. in the action and so should everyone else. The more the merrier ." She recalls. "What a
night last year, the campus went wild." Even though the majority of students plan to get in on the action there are still a few who want no part. . Students such as Alissa DeMaria plan to stay indoors. She said, "It took me two whole days to get all the vaseline, eggs, peanut butter and shaving cream out of my hair." She plans to play it safe. Jodi DePalma also plans to stay indoors. She said, "I plan to lock myself in the room and hide under my bed." Well, October 30th is coming very soon. So enjoy yourself but remember the golden rule, "out of the dorms and away from the cars."

Jogging
Ditrolio makes tracks BY MAUREEN CARROLL Mark DiTrolio, a freshman
biology major, is the backbone of Cabrini's cross-country team. He got his start at Archbishop Carroll high school when his coach proposed that he join the team in the ninth grade. The challenge of competing on an individual basis was too exciting for DiTrolio to pass up, and so began his career in track. He started running crosscountry in his first year at Carroll, but dedicated the remaining three years to the high jump. Clearing a height of 6'4" in his senior year enabled him to capture second place in the Catholic League. He also finished second in the Delaware County Relays last year. Commenting on runners, DiTrolio said, "I think the strongest people mentally and physically are long distance runners because they can excel through the pain of running steep
hills and fast pace at the same time." He keeps in shape by running four to six miles daily in preparation for a meet in which he must run five miles. There is no special diet which Mark follows, although he says it is necessary to take in a lot of carbohydrates to keep up his energy level. Before a meet, he loosens up by going out and running. However his most effective preliminary action is saying a prayer before each competition. DiTrolio chose to attend Cabrini because he was impressed with the curriculum offered. He is majoring in biology, hoping someday to be a forestry inspector. Besides being a gifted runner, he plays basketball as well as the saxophone and clarinet. Commenting on DiTrolio's ability, Mr. Robert McGee, coach of the cross-country team, said, "Mark has great potential as a crosscountry runner. What he has
achieved this season has been accomplished within a short period against runners who have had many months of training."

ing these exercises the members of the class will defeat the problems of weight.gain and tense muscles. Iannucci has been interested in body building since he was in eighth grade. He started to develop his body in high school through different sports such as track, wrestling, and light body building programs. · His interest and talent in body building was shown when he received the Presidential Award for body building. He also has received numerous job opportunities to work in the Holiday Spa. Iannucci plans to work with each individual student to per(ect their body in the way it should be. He is setting up a trimness program for the women and a light body building program for men. "The result and enjoyment of these classes will be determined by the individual persons' interest in their body, which should be"their main purpose of life," said Iannucci. Iannucci also said, "If anyone wishes separate men and women classes it will be no problem ," All student, faculty , and friends are welcome to join the health club on Tuesdays at 7 p.m . in the Woodcrest smoking lounge.
New nocturnal activity BY DIANA McSWEENEY
Ever take a look at some of the footwear on an average lunch time crowd in the cafeteria? Nikes, Brooks and Adidas can be found in abundance but did you ever wonder how many of these people actually run? Well, we found some, a small group of people whose nocturnal jaunts have provoked some interest around the campus. Mike Glacken, Jim Amalfitano, Ken Fazio, Maine Korzon, Chris Collins and Ron Katkocin started jogging for fun. Glacken credits the cross country team for the establishment of the informal group. He also feels that, "Eventually a few of the people that are jogging will switch over to the cross country team. As a matter of fact Ken Fazio ran with them today for the first time." These people began jogging with a goal of reaching the gate house. They have now worked up to
almost three miles. Glacken has his own personal philosophy about jogging. "Running is an itch we have to scratch . It's almost part of our heritage." The increasing number of people running would appear to give that opinion added validity.
"Running is an itch we have to scratch, it's almost part of our heritage." This group of joggers hasn't any rigorous schedule to adhere to. They generally meet at around ten o'clock four or five nights of the week in front of Counsel Hall. Their theme is exercise combined with fun and anyone interested in jogging along is more than welcome. For Glacken, "The more the merrier ."

Ullrich instructs diction class for children's theater workshops
BY MARYANN RIBICK A unique and different technique in teaching speech and diction is being taught to the children involved in Cabrini ' s Children ' s Workshop in Drama . Mrs. Florence Keady Ullrich, adjunct instructor in drama , teaches both drama and diction to the children involved. The technique which Ullrich employs is one very mu~h different than many systems currently in use in the United States today . This method, the kinetic method of speech organ placement, works on the positioning of speech organs for producing spoken English. Based on 52 sounds of human speech rather than the 26 letters of
the alphabet, Ullr ich says this method deals with exerc ising the speech organ and concentrating on the sounds produced . Originally used at London University, the kinetic system of speech organ placement is also used extensively throughout Europe . It is also in use at a few American universities including the University of California , and Columbia University , Ullrich said . Ullrich became familiar with the method when it was introduced at D'Youville College in Buffalo, New York . She said that the college had thought that a cultured · person should also be able to speak well and so introduced this speech method. ·
Ullrich later studied for one yea r in France and then taught Eng lish in France using this method . " This method of speech plac~ment ," Ullrich said , "c an free you from accents , it can free people from their American accents. " Along with speech and diction , children enrolled in the Drama Workshops are taught acting tech nique based on the Stanislavski technique involving the release of the subconcious through concen tration . Ullrich will be teaching adult diction and speech in the spring semester of 1980, using the kinetic method of speech organ place ment. No prerequisites are required.
"Starting Over" succeeds as a comedy but meaning is obscure BY KATHY BRUST "Starting Over" will never receive an award for being the best movie in 1979, but it may be remembered as a good movie. The Paramount Pictures release is. showing at the Eric Plaza theater in the King of Prussia Mall. Directed by Alan J. Pakula, the James L. Brooks and Pakula production stars Burt Reynolds, Jill Clayburgh and Candice Bergen . Reynolds and Bergen are husband and wife, Phil and Jessica Potter, who are getting a divorce . Clayburgh plays Marilyn, a nursery school teacher who becomes Potter's girlfriend . Once Potter's divorce is final he
finds himself going back and forth between · his ex-wife and his girlfriend. At this point the movie becomes fast-paced and sometimes a little confusing. The comedy was not wildly funny but there was a great deal of laughter from the audience. As the divorced Jessica Potter, trying to get her singing career off the ground, Bergen is funny and believable. Some of the funniest moments in the film are those when she sings the original Marvin Hamlish songs. Marilyn, played by Clayburgh, is a slightly neurotic nursery school teacher who is studying for her masters degree in child development . Clayburgh is
wonderful as Marilyn ; very warm · and very funny. As Phil Potter, Reynolds is very convincing. He plays the sad, grievir.g, divorced husband very well. As part of a divorced husband's group he is very funny. For the most part "Starting Over" was a good movie. However, one of the main draw- . backs to the movie was that sometimes the dialogue was a little unclear and this made it difficult to hear all of the lines.
It was clearly a movie produced solely for its entertainment value . On this point it was very successful.
