Globe Security being replaced

BY THERESA COLLINS Globe Security will be replaced by a new security program controlled solely by Cabrini College,

by Nov. 3, 1980.

For approximately 9 or 10 years Cabrini has worked with contract security systems and Globe has been the fourth different company Cabrini has had. With these programs Cabrini has no say about who comes to work but can report to Globe whether the person is right for the job. A one month trial period is given for the new guard to adjust to the responsibilities that are required of them.

There have been several problems with Globe guards such as not answering resident calls right away, sleeping in residence lobbies, and getting involved in situations that do not pertain to them.

However, the biggest problem, according to Mike Caranfa, Director of Maintenance, is economics. "Globe pays their personnel a minimum wage of $3.10 an hour. We won't get quality guards because pay is so low," stated Caranfa.

At present there are two fulltime guards working with an additional two filling in for sicknesses and days off. Also Ron Young, onetime supervisor at Cushing College is supervising the security program. He has worked with Cabrini before and before coming here worked as a police officer on the West Coast and with various security companies.

Caranfa began investigating this new type of security when there wasn't much cooperation with Globe and also because of the increase in vandalism and break-ins on campus. He is still researching with other schools in the area especially with Eastern College who instituted the program last August.

The general plans and schedule for the security program will be two guards on duty seven days a

week. One will answer the calls from the residences and his hours will be 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. The second guard will work with non-residence areas such as Sacred Heart Hall, the gatehouse, library, etc.

His hours are from 8 p.m. to 4-a.m.

An additional guard will be hired to replace guards on vacations, days off, and abscences due to illness. Young will remain as s_upervisor.

The guards make tours of the campus four times a night. The residency guard checks doors and windows to be sure that all are locked and none are ajar. The nonresidency guard tours the campus and carries a watchman's clock.

This device informs Caranfa of any point the guard may have missed and to ensure that the guard is not sleeping. The scheme is as follows: There are 10 points on campus with a key at each point. The guard must turn the key in the clock and this in turn imprints the time and location on a tape that only Caranfa has access to. So the guard must turn a total of 40 keys a night.

Each guard is required to fill out a check list each night and make additional reports on the back if there were any problems, vandalism, or strangers on campus.

These reports vary depending on the individual. Included in this report are the tape-recorded phone messages when students needed to get into the dorms. Hardcore copies are made and are kept on file permanently.

Caranfa plans to provide a vehicle or gas allowance for the guards and the radio system will be back in operation by Nov. 3.

There are some thoughts about building a security gatehouse that would be stationed below the . entrance to the new residences.

However, the cost would be tremendous. According to Caranfa it would cost an additional $10 to $11,000 a year salary for another guard and the building, mainte-

nance and equipment would be another 4,500 to 5,000. "We're a little reluctant to put out this money right away but if we see the gateho'lSe is needed we'll build it.

We already have our figures for next years budget and plans for a third guard," replied Caranfa.

As for the increase in vandalism and break-ins Caranfa replied, "We can't do anymore than we've already done. We went as far as we could without getting like a prison camp."

After the break-ins in Woodcrest and the Maguire House Detective Daniel Zimmerman inspected all the loclcs, alarms, and lights on campus, "He informed us where locks should be replaced and where additional alarms were needed. After his investigation all the locks in the new residences SECURITY GUARD Paul Slonaker were changed to dead-bolt locks Wood Clodfelter) and a very effective alarm system installed in Woodcrest," stated The Security Awareness ProCaranfll: gram was held in Woodcrest This alarm system can work two smoker on Wednesday, Oct. 6 at 2 ways.

As for progress in the new security program interviews are now being held. At present Caranfa has two applicants with very good recommendations and qualifications. Both have worked with security programs and are presently working for the state.

The new guards will begin one week early as an orientation period.

Globe will still be employed at that time. As with Globe, these will be on a trial period of adjustment.

Caranfa emphasized that it is important for the guards to become familiar with the college student, how the college is operated, and what their responsibilities and duties are. He also commented that the guards must realize their job is one of service and protection.

Caranfa has high hopes for this new system. "It will take a while to adjust but eventually there will be an improvement in security," stated Caranfa.

Presidential campaign 1n full gear

BY MARY GOLDNER The 1980 Presidential elections for the first time in many years will have three candidates running for the highest office in the country.

Jimmy Carter, Democrat, Ronald Reagan, Republican, John Anderson, Independent.

The elections this year have been marked with a lot of anxiety and tension. The prospect of a third candidate no one thought would became a reality -- John Anderson has caused many to sit up and take notice.

During the primary season

Reagan and Carter were the front runners, but Anderson never gave up, vowing that he could still be President.

These elections have been marred by many incidents stemming even before the Republican and Democratic conventions.

The withdrawal of George Bush from the race in late May gave Reagan the support he needed. While on the other hand Ted Kennedy stepped up his campaigning, swearing that it wouldn't be over until the convention.

Editorial

Security Solutions How safe is our campus ? We ma y ask ourselv es this question over and over again , but do we really know the answers ? At times , no but we should . The only way to do this is to becom e more involved with what is happening on campus rather than sit back and say someone else will take care of it.

In the past month and a half Cabrini has had more break-ins and vandalism problems than in her 23 years of existence . The reasons may vary from a Jack of security to an increase in enrollment to a Jack of community involvement.

It seems that little action was taken to protect the students and campus from intruders and vandals . Several major incidents had to occur before any changes were made in the security program.

For over a month the side doors of Woodcrest were unalarmed and anyone had access to the dorm at all hours of the night. The smoker windows were not properly screened and at times left open without someone making a thorough check on them. Finally , the color T .V. was taken from the dorm right after the guards were off duty .

Numerous obscene phone calls were received with little action being taken.

In the Maguire House , obscene phone calls were received, a color, T .V., two end tables and lamps were stolen, and several attempts to break-in were made through the basement doors . There was little action taken in these situations until the guard was hurt. This may have been a student instead, but it doesn't seem like anyone thought of this.

Insufficient lighting is still another problem on campus. On the new paths and roads lights are out of order, on the main entrance of the college lights have been out, and lights do not function properly in Sacred Heart parking Jot. Contacting the Guards to get into the dorms is also difficult at times. There have been incidents where students have had to wait 30-45 minutes outside of their dorms before a guard arrived.

You may ask yourself, "what can I do?" The answer is simple , everything and anything possible .

To begin with, each of us must become more security consious. We cannot leave the job of checking doors and windows to the guards, head residents or resident assistants. We should not ignore the strange person hanging around the dorm, parking Jot, or woods. These incidents should be reported immediately to security .

Another fact to remember is locking and clo,sing all windows and doors in your room . Curtains should be drawn whenever you are in or out of your room, especially at night, to avoid giving anyone the opportunity to look in or break in . Students must realize that they should not leave doors ajar for other students to get in since they may endanger other students.

Secondly we must all get involved with security programs. They are offered to us to give advice and suggestions on what to do in case an emergency should arise. They should be utilized to the maximum, especially after the uproar with security problems . If you don't feel comfortable or protected enough or don't think something is being done right, report it to the persons in authority. That is why they are there . ¡ Third, utilize the guard and extension 33. They are there as a service to us and must be used properly so problems will not go unnoticed .

If you need an escort from one dorm to another and you are alone call the guard . No place is safe enough to walk by yourself.

Fourth, better lighting is needed immediately . Although there are more lights available than in the past, not all of them work. Instead of putting up inexpensive light posts money should be invested in reliable and sturdy lights. The investment would be worth it and may lessen the chance of vandalism .

A new security system is underway and should go into effect by Nov. 3. This should, with time, Jessen the problems we have had in the past month and a half.

It is up to us as an entire community to become involved . We cannot pinpoint where the fault lies. Instead we must pick up the pieces and start over again , only this time let security be a community effort.

Letters Dorm Councils:

A freshman criticizes S.G.A. TO THE EDITOR : After attending my first student body meeting on Thursday, Sept.

25, I left with the idea of writing a letter to the editor to voice my opinion on dorm councils and the attitude of certain Student Government Association members. After attending the student government meeting the following Tuesday evening, however, I decided to withdraw my Jetter because the problems between councils and the S.G.A. seemed to be solved. I felt that by the time the article appeared it would just agitate an issue that was over. Furthermore , I had personally voiced this opinion at the S.G.A. meeting and felt my point was well taken.

I have now decided to submit my letter to the editor after all. I made this decision promptly after I was asked an interesting question by one of the top S.G.A. members.

The question was this: "Were you planted at the S.G.A. meeting last Tuesday and told to say what you said, or was it your own opinion?"

I want to make it clear that freshmen do have opinions and do not have to be told what to say .

Furthermore , I found it personally insulting to be accused of being a puppet to someone else just because I happen to be a freshman . My opinion, I might add, was popular among freshmen and up-

perclassmen alike .

To make my point clear, here is the original letter I wrote after the first student body meeting : I objectively attended my first student body meeting as a new student at Cabrini College on Sept. 25.

I sat and listened for half an hour to a debate that still has me mystified, and that seemed to be of very little significance compared with the other more important issues given much less attention .

It seems the Student Government Association has created themselves a problem. They have taken a stand against all the constitutions made up by individual dorm councils claiming that the S.G.A. constitution is the official document of Cabrini Jaw and policy .

I was not impressed at all by the seemingly very defensive attitude of some of the top S.G.A. Government members appeared intimidated by the existance of structural activities that have nothing to do with the S.G.A. constitution, and takes no power away from it.

Individual dorm councils are a good idea because they express the attitudes and problems of resident students where they live . It is up to the individual to like or dislike council constitutions as it is also

their right to tell the council wha t they want done or changed . The S.G.A. should not concern itself with what individuals expect of their councils or with what a council expects of its members , because frankly, it is none of the S.G.A.'s business.

I live in Counsel Hall and have found our constitution to be one with objective!! that will make Counsel a better place to live . I feel the S.G.i\. is doing me no favor by standing against something that will help me. I couldn't help but think the S.G. A. executive officers felt individual dorm councils were somehow stepping on the toes of their authority .

I should point out that my complaint does not refer to all mem bers of the Student Governmen t Association, but only those that made such a large issue out of a problem that shouldn't exist. The entire unnecessary problem "at Thursday's meeting brought out an extreme lack of unity in our student government and , as a fresh man, I received a very bad first impression.

As I hope to be involved in the S.G.A. in the future , I must also hope that my next impression of them is better than my first one.

SGA qualifies policy Dear Editor, The following letter is a followup as to why the Student Government Association voted not to recognize the institution of dorm councils as proposed by Gus Nicoletti , Director of resident life.

Dorm councils, for anyone who is not familiar with the concept, are a new part of the resident life program .

They were originally explained to the Exeuctive Board of the Student Government Association as being structures within each of the residence halls which would operate solely on an informal basis.

They were designed to promote in house unity through the sponsoring of various social activities , etc .

However, no clear-cut guidelines were given at this time in regards to the set-up of these various councils . The following

Cabrini women involved • 1n tampon study

BY JOYCE PATITUCCI As part of the health-studies pro-

gram here at Cabrini, 45 women participated in a survey to determine which of three tampons they liked best. According to' Mary Mulligan, R.N., the women compared Rely, Playtex, and Tampax brand tampons without being told which was which. The experiment was initiated by an area gynecologist and conducted before Rely tampons had been available on the market, under the supervision of Mulligan.

According to Mulligan, the majority of women who took part in the three-day experiment preferred Rely and said they would use it if it were availble.

One year later, one of the most curious diseases since Legionaire's Disease is plaguing women and research specialists alike. Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a sickness that affects women between the ages of 18 and 34. Because the women who contracted the disease were all using tampons at the time they became afflicted, it is that feminine hygiene product that is under . much investigation. One product, Proctor -and Gamble's Rely tampon, has been taken off the market.

"We are taking this action to remove Rely and the company from any controversy surrounding toxic shock syndrome," Edward G. Harness, chairman, said.

It seems that the number of afflicted women who were using Rely was eight times greater than

women who were using other tampons and became ill with TSS. While . that particular tampon is not being blamed directly for the sickness, doctors have not yet discovered whether Rely increases a woman's chances of getting TSS or if it is the tampon's popularity that makes it so suspicious.

Dr. Martin Weisberg, a gynecologist who recently appeared on "AM Philadelphia" estimated that there have been about 340 cases of TSS reported. Ironically, 5 percent of those victims were men. Since these men certainly were not using tampons doctors believe that the disease resulted from a staph infection that each man had at the time. This led doctors and scientists to link the disease to a staph or bacterial infection as well.

There are several theories about why tampons may be acting as an irritant.

Dr. Andrew Wisenthal, a physician at Children's Hospital in Denver, theorizes that because Rely is more absorbent than other tampons, women would tend to keep it in place long!,!r, allowing the unknown toxin to be absorbed by the vaginal wall. This could, in turn, lead to TSS, he said.

Dr. Weisberg theorized that there could be a back-up of blood, making the fluid more susceptible to staph infection. " Women who use tampons continuously without changing run a higher risk of getting TSS . " Weisberg said.

"Women shoulc! avoid super-ab-

sorbent tampons or tampons at a time. should be changed hours."

using 2 or 3 The tampons every 6 to 8 ·

The symptoms that accompany TSS are high fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rapid decline in blood pressure, and finally shock.

Should a woman wearing tampons at the same time come down with these symptoms, she should remove the tampon at once and immediately consult a doctor.

Although Rely is the only tampon to be taken off the market, all other brands are under investigation as well, including Tampax, Playtex, and O.B. Dr. Weisberg concluded that approximately 50 million women use tampons.

Three in every 100,000 can get TSS. Twenty-eight of 340 cases have been fatal so far.

Despite the controversy surrounding tampons, many women do not want to see them taken off the market. Pat Martelli, a junior here at Cabrini said, "I'd like to hear something conclusive from a reliable source before I come to any decisions." Kathy Mignogna, another student, said she does not want to see all tampons banned from the market. "Rely is getting the most attention because more women use it. I don't think it would be fair to remove all tampons from the market."

If anyone is still using Rely, they are urged to discontinue use and send the product back to Proctor and Gamble for a refund.

New security system· works around the clock

BY TANIA DIMARINO• As of November 3, Cabrini College will have their own guard force on campus, according to Mike Caranfa, Director of Buildings and Grounds .

At the Student Government Association meeting on October 7, Caranfa said that he had sent a letter to Globe Security Systems, a private contractor, giving them notice of the termination of the present guard contract as of November 3.

At present, there are two guards on duty at Cabrini. They make clock tours four times during the night.

When the new guards begin work, the set-up will be the same, according to Caranfa . The only difference will be that the clock hours will be six times during the night, or about every one and a half hours .

Ron Brown, Security Supervisor, will schedule the guards ori duty and make sure that they are

Election from 1 even picked up by the wire services, George Bush was finally chosen as the running mate for Governor Reagan.

The campaign, some say, has become a mud slinging fontest.

Carter has been accused of using low and abusive tactics against Reagan wqich has done nothing to help him. People in the United States have never had an . incum-

responsible individuals.

The new guards will wear uniforms ·and will have a need for a vehicle, but it hasn't yet been decided whether they will use their own vehicle or if one will be provided by the college, according to Caranf 1.

The guards on campus are here as a ser vice to the students, said Caranfa . Because there is a new atmosphere this year, everyone's help is needed. We need a "real good avenue of communication" between the students and security, Caranfa said.

Caranfa would like to hear the ideas that anyone may have in regard to the security. He said that if a student observes an incident they should report it to either him or Sr. Sharon Morano, Dean of Students.

The guards on duty at present receive $3.10 to $3.50 per hour, and the new guards will receive about $5.50. Although the difference in

cost is an increase in the cost to the college, better guards will be the result, according to Caranfa.

Other issues were also discussed at the S.G.A. meeting . Mary C. Goldner , S.G.A. Vice President, gave a report on the Junior class elections. She said there had been problems of people putting other students' names on the posters , and this had been causing difficulty with getting the elections underway .

When students vote in an election, they must sign their name to a list. When the ballots are counted out, the names on the list have to correspond, said Goldner.

In the Junior /Senior Weekend update, it was reported that they are presently looking for a disc jockey for the dance, scheduled the weekend of November 7-9. The cost will be $25 per ticket for a buffet, open bar , and dancing , or $15 per ticket for the dance with the open bar.

bent use these ploys and many have expressed their disappointment in the President. During all this turmoil Reagan has sat back and let Carter do his thing.

If there is a split in any of the parties it could be detrimental to Reagan and Carter , but help Anderson considerably.

The issue that many are taking into account more so than any one else, is the leadership qualities of the men running our country.

The fear is that no man running has the spirit, control and means to handle such a job.

There has been much speculation on the winner of this election.

November 4, 1980. It 's not that far away. What seems more ironic than anything else in campaign '80 is the fact that November 4, the day we elect the leader of our country also happens to be the 1 year anniversary of the seizure of our embassy in Tehran and the captivity of fifty-three fellow ;\111eri~c1-ns , . ,

Dua·I certification brings extra costs·

BY JIM LAWLOR

Students seeking dual certification in special education and elementary education will address the council of college affairs today. They feel they are being billed unfairly, and are unsatisfied with the answers they have been given to date.

On Tuesday, September 16, these students were told that dual certification would bring a total of $663 in extra costs, according to Lynne Frederick, one of those seeking dual certification.

The dual certification fee, as stated in the handbook, is $88 per credit, with a requirement of six • credits for a total of $528. According to Frederick, another $135 in student teaching fees is added for · the $663 total.

In the second semester of senior year, students seeking dual certification have to take three student teaching placements. Each of these is six credits, for a total of eighteen.

Frederick states the problem as this, "Why after 3 1/2 years of being told 18 credits is capacity load, does it become 12 credits in our student · teaching semester?

Why are the remaining six credits charged additional fee?"'

The students met with William Eichner, business manager; Joseph Romano, vice president for academic affairs; and William Kuhns, assistant professor of education. They were dissatisfied with explanations they received, and therefore had themselves put on today's CCA agenda.

The catalogue says that eighteen credits is a full load, and after that students are billed for overload on a per-credit basis. The dual cer tification is listed separate from the credit overload cost. This suggests that the two are costs independent of one another, and the dual certification fee is administered, number of credits notwithstanding.

A history of the dual certification program was given by Kuhns which shows how the problem developed.

Before 1976, the special education certificate licensed students to work only with the mentally retarded. To obtain the certificate, students had to take one student teaching placement for seven weeks. This allowed time to also

take an elementary education placement and receive both certificates. The total credit for the two was twelve, and was considered a capacity load.

In 1976, however, Pennsylvania started to issue a comprehensive special education certificate, which licenses students to work with the mentally retarded and physically handicapped. The requirement for the certificate in• ereased to two student teaching assignments, at six credits each.

This was considered a full load.

The option was left open to students to also take an elementary student teaching placement in order to get the certificate in elementary education. This was not made a requirement.

It was decided that students who exercise

this option will be charged the dual certification fee.

Joseph Romano points out that the dual certification is entirely dffferent from a double major. The dual certification is two separate licences which are in two distinct fields. Each requires a separate application and involves separate cooperating teachers, and supervisors. This is where the additional cost comes in, according to Romano .

Romano stresses that the school does not require students to attain dual certification.

He feels however, that with more and more school districts mainstreaming special students through elementary school, dual certification is an excellent tool for the aspiring professional to have-

Conscientious oblecfors fear draft The Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors, the nation's largest draft counseling agency, warned this month that the start of draft registration has added to the increased likelihood of an actual draft.

Larry Spears, Director of CCO's Youth and Conscientious Objection Campaign, says, "This past summer's draft registration of men born in 1960and 1961was just the first step toward returning to the draft. This coming January, Selective Service plans to register those men born in 1962.After January 5, men (and perhaps women) born in 1963 will be required to register as they turn 18. It should

be noted that the U.S. has never had a registration without a draft, and rarely without a war."

"The need for young people to be informed and to consider going on record as a conscientious objector to war has never been greater than it is this fall," says Spears.

"The Supreme Court's decision on Goldberg vs. Tarr, a sex-discrimination case involving the draft and registration, will be final this Winter," comments _Spears. "'It is especially important for women to realize that they could be ordered to register for the draft, and perhaps be drafted. They too must consider their position on war."

CCO has sued Selective Service for their draft plans and learned that they plan to allow registrants to claim hardship, medical, and conscientious objector status only at the last possible moment after induction orders are issued.

"Unless students begin to think about, and collect evidence for, conscientious objection claims and other options, they are certain to be caught unprepared," says Spears.

"There is also growing sentim,ent within Congress to begin debate early next year on whether a peace-time draft should be started," he says. "It is important for young people to realize that

under the current draft Jaw, all men between the ages 18and 26 are eligible to be drafted. Also, students should know that there is no longer a college student deferment under the new draft Jaws."

"Young Americans must start thinking about whether they could participate in the military."

Spears states that CCCO has already registered over 20,000 young people through its conscientious objection card. "They simply state 'Because of my beliefs about war, I am opposed to participating in the military.' " "The usefulness of this card," says Spears, "is that it provides a record of an individual's opposi-

tion to war and the military. This CO card will help to demonstrate to the military that hundreds of thousands of young people will not serve in the military. Conscientious objectors, along with the large number of non-registrants and the vocal anti-draft movement may help to deter Congress from establishing a peace-time draft."

CCCO was founded in 1948 as the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors and is a national , non-profit agency counseling young Americans facing the prospect of military service, or those already in the military.

Girard appointed as local historian

BY MONICA WOODS

Cabrini's own Dr . Jolyon P. Girard has been assigned as the official historian of Cherry Hill, N .J. Girard was appointed by Mayor Bernard A. Platt and approved of by the Township Council in the summer of 1980.T,he job will last for three years, but it is renewable when that time is up.

Girard was appointed because he is familiar with many politicians. They were aware of him

because he is very involved in the township. He has been Chairman of the Recreation Committee since 1978 and has been on the Parkson Planning Advisory Board since 1976. He has also been on the Executive Committee of BarkleyFarmstead as well as numerous other activities.

There are no specific duties Girard must perform , although he must submit an annual written report of the things he has done. He

does, however, have certain things he wants to accomplish.

The township has no historical archives . Girard has begun to establish an archive at the Cherry Hill library. He is moving historical documents from the Municipal Building to the library.

Girard is also working on a system to identify key historical areas in the township for further study to certify them as historic landmarks. This will also help to

identify to the citizens that these areas are historic landmarks.

In a couple of years, Girard would like to start working on the written history of Cherry Hill.

Girard feels that his job is important because the township needs a historian . Although the city is old, "no one has ever analyzed it and any city should be studied," he said.

Girard is interested in the township and he says that it needs some

help. There are many people who are also interested in the township and have given Girard a great deal of support.

Girard points out that his specialty is twentieth century American history. He is not specially qualified in urban history, so he has had to put in a Jot of work to prepare for the job.

He said that the job is fun although there is much that needs to be done .

Slattery: artist and athlete

BY THERESA KARMINSKI

You're likely to catch Eileen Slattery bouncing basketballs, vaulting volleyballs, or sending softballs, because that is exactly what she does best.

Slattery is one senior who has certainly contributed to Cabrini sports . She was voted the most valuable basketball player last year, and has been a member of the basketball and volleyball teams for the past four years.

In addition to this, it was Slattery who started the women's softball team three years ago.

"Cabrini has always been a small school playing against bigger schools . We've always come

out pretty good, despite only having a small number of people.. to choose from . Also we have a lot of talent for being so small," she said .

Adding to this, Slattery explained, "Being small has advantages, too, because it is more personalized. You know everyone on the team and the field ."

When asked about the coaching, Slattery commented, "It's great!

They have always been behind us.

I don't think the pressure comes from the coaches , it comes from you and your teammates. The emphasis is placed more on what you get out of it, however, this doesn't take away from out com-

petitiveness."

Not all of Eileen Slattery's talent and enthusiasm lies in play ing sports. She can draw athletes , too. Did you know that she is the one responsible for the sports mural painted on the hall of the loclcer rooms? Slattery carried out this ambitious project as an independent oil painting course and it took one semester to complete .

Aside from enthusiastic players like Eileen, what is the key to the women's athletic achievements?

Slattery probably summed it up best when she said, "We basically have good school spirit. We always try to hang in there giving our best no matter what. "

In the past campus parties were just that, campus parties. The keg was rolled out and people got together and danced. Of course, it attracted people but not in great number or necessarily great spirit. Now things are different.

Cabrini students are showing their imagination in an array of party themes.

The themes including: the Hat Party, the Hawaiian Party, the Mug Party and most recently the Square Dance Party have proved very successful. The parties which are sponsored by S.G.A. have raised an average of $200 per party. The profits are used for various activities, the most important of which is the Junior-Senior Weekend.

Party decorations enhanced the atmosphere and drew larger crowds than previous years. The spirit of the parties changed, too: Some students started to dress according to the party theme . This added to the atmosphere of the dances.

Are you wondering what the various clubs are doing this semester?

The biology and ecology clubs are busy planning upcoming events that are open to the campus community.

A trip to Longwood Gardens, a harvest sale and a Halloween party are on the biology club agenda, according to John DeTurck, professor of biology and club moderator.

Our main concern right now is the harvest sale, Allison McGregor, president, said .

"We're going to sell plants , pumpkins, dried flowers, hanging baskets and food," McGregor said. The sale will be Wednesday, October 28 and Thursday, October 29, McGregor said.

The biology club is also sponsoring a Halloween party on Wednesday night , October 29. It is open to the campus and refreshments will be served, McGregor said .

The trip to Longwood Gardens will probably be in November ,McGregor said. This trip will be open to the biology club and the campus, McGregor said.

A Christmas flower sale will be held in early December, McGregor said.

The ecology club is also planning a recycling day which will be open to the campus . Students will collect things that are recyclable from around campus and the one who collects the most will be given a ten dollar prize. They will then take what they have collected to Eastern College and have it recycled.

Other plans the club has made are to have a nature walk and to put name plaques on the trees .

These would allow students to become more aware of what's on campus .

The major goal of the club, at this point, is to make the whole campus look nice and everything equal in priority. " Work in the formal gardens will begin within the next two weeks . We need a lot of help because there is a lot of work to do out there. We have all the equipment, all we need now is the people who are willing to spend time working on it," Bob Norwickie , vice-president, said .

According to Mark DiTrolio, president, the ecology club has changed a lot. They have already sponsored a trip to the zoo and had a mass with the campus ministry honoring St. Francis, the club's patron saint.

Life, love 1n France

BY DIANAMcSWEENEY Clause Lelouch's romantic comedy, "And Now My Love," opened the French Film Festival here at Cabrini October 10. The film was the first of three being sponsored by the Language Department and the Performing Arts Program.

In "And Now My Love," Lelouch examines the evolution of an improbable relationship.

Sarah, played by Marthe Keller, is a wealthy Parisienne trying to find some sort of meaningful existence outside the world of the beaufiful people. Simon, played by Andre Dussolier, is a young film maker

who has risen from porno movies to films that attempt to answer the ultimate question, whatever that may be .

Lelouch engagingly combines the backgrounds of both the protagonists to illustrate convincingly how two people from diverse backgrounds, but in essence lookirig for the same thing, can meet.

"No Time For Breakfast" was the second film in the festival.

The Jean-Louis Bertucelli film starred Annie Girardot as Docteur Francoise Gailland and followed her on her daily rounds at the hospital she works at in Paris,trying

to deal with the conflicting elements of her private and professional lives.

Christopher Lehmann-Haupt of the New York Times called the film one that, " ... has the simple effect of putting life and d~ath in clear perspective."

The final film in the series, Michael Drach's "Replay," will be shown Oct. 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the Little Theater. It stars Marie Jose Nat and Victor Lanoux as a married .couple trying to piece their relationship back together after a severe car accident that has left the wife with total amnesia.

Baritone warms audience with song

BY FLORENCE LANIA Once again Cabrini's EnglishCommunications Department and Black Students Union has brought forth another fine talent, George Collins.

Collins performed at the Little Theater on October 9th, at 8 p.m.

Collins' baritone voice captured the attention of the audience, especially when they were asked to participate by clapping _to the songs "Amen" and "Didn't It Rain."

The night was not only filled with songs, but Collins read excerpts from Shakespeare's "Othello" and "A Midsummer's Night Dream."

Lynne Joy Will-iams, a sophomore at Cabrini and Erik Smith, a junior at St. Joseph's High School, danced fo the song "One" from "A Chorus Line."

Mr. Collins was first spotted by Mr. Dan Perna last Easter at the chapel. Perna had gotten in touch with Collins and had asked him to · perform here at Cabrini.

Perna was very upset with the turn out and urged students to take advantage of the Arts Programs at Cabrini.

When Collins was asked how he felt about his performance he THE BLACK STUDENT UNION and the English/Communications Dereplied, "Cabrini's audience was partment sponsored a performance by baritone George Collins on October 9th in the Little Theater. warm and open. I applaud its arts (photo by Karen Collem) program for exposing its students to many fine opportunities."

Extraordinary

BY KATHLEEN BRUST The advertisement for the film "Ordinary People" says, "Some films you watch, others you feel."

This isn't just good advertising, it is the absolute truth .

"Ordinary People" has to be one of the best movies of the year. It is in the same tradition as "Kramer vs. Kramer."

This is a film which grabs you from the very opening moments and won't let you go until the lights come up in the theater and the last strains of music have died away.

The Paramount Pictures release stars Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, Judd Hirsch and Timothy Hutton. It is based on a novel by Judith Guest. Alvin Sargent wrote the screenplay from Guest's novel. The film is a crowning achievement for director Robert Redford.

"Ordinary People" is about an upper-middle-class family living in the suburbs of Chicago. They are a normal, happy family until a boating accident kills the oldest son, Buck. In reaction to Buck's death, the younger son, Conrad, attempts to commit suicide.

The film shows the struggle, guilt and love this family needs while trying to put their lives back together.

Sutherland plays the father, Calvin Jarret. He is a tax lawyer who loves his wife and his children.

Sutherland's performance was really incredible.

He played his role with great depth and sensitivity toward the character. Never was there a time during the film that you ever doubted Sutherland as the father.

He gave Calvin life on the screen; there can be no better way to describe his performance.

The sensitivity with which Sutherland portrayed Calvin gave the audience a real sense of what the father was going through as he desperately tries to hold his family together.

In the role as the mother, Moore gave an excellent performance. In the film Beth (Moore) is a cold

woman. She is incapable of feeling deep emotion; she is sort of a surface person . This has become intensified with the death of her older son, Buck. Moore plays Beth with great sophistication. You get a real feeling for the character even though you can not love her .

There is a certain agony that Moore gives her character. She perfectly depicts a woman who is so torn with grief that she can not express it. Beth wants everything on an even keel. She wants to resume a normal life, she is not able to accept the changes that have happened in her life.

Th·e part of the son, Conrad, is played by a young actor, Timothy Hutton. His performance as the confused, struggling younger son is exemplary. You feel everything that Conrad feels. As an audience you feel with him the agony of the moment when Buck lets go of his hand in the accident.

Hutton dredges up a sea of emotions that the audience feels so much a part of. Never once during the film do you think of Hutton as an actor; you think of him only as Conrad Jarret. He is a young man searching for himself through his pain.

Dr. Berger is Conrad's psychiatrist. Berger, played by Judd Hirsch, is the catalyst to Conrad getting his life together.

Berger is the one who gets Conrad to focus in on his feelings .

Berger wants Conrad to see that he really isn't such a bad kid after all.

Hirsch plays Berger with just the right amount of sensitivity, feeling and humor. The casting of Hirsch as Berger was one of the best examples of creativity that might ever be found in a film. You could not say enough about his performance.

Redford's first attempt at directing is phenomenal. He has managed to put so much emphasis on feeling into the film. Where other directors might have stopped, he has taken this film one step further.

BY KATHLEEN BRUST The Goodspeed Opera House is presenting its revival of the George M. Cohan musical "Little Johnny Jones" at the Walnut Street Theater through Oct. 26.

Cohan's musical-comedy first appeared in New York in 1904. It is said to have played an important role in the early development of the American Musical.

original production, which starred Cohan, this scene was one of the musical's show stoppers.

It is said that when Cohan booked the Broadway theater for his play all he had was the title.

"Little Johnny Jones" hadn't even been written.

"Little Johnny Jones" tells the tale of an American jockey who goes to England to ride in the Derby. While in England, Jones' name is smeared with the charge that he threw the race.

Cohan had recently been in England at this time and liked the idea of using the courtyard of the Cecil Hotel in one scene and a Southhampton pier in another scene of his play. It was only 10 days before rehearsals were to begin that Cohan wrote the show.

It was for this show that Cohan wrote "Yankee Doodle Boy." "Give My Regards to Broadway" was first sung in "Little Johnny Jones," as Jones watches his ship leaving the port of Southhampton without him. During this scene a rocket explodes on shore that information has been discovered that would clear his name. In thr .

In the original production of "Little Johnny Jones," Cohan himself played the title role.

Cohan's father, Jerry, played the villain, Anthony Anstey and his mother, Nellie, played Annstey's fiancee, Mrs. Kentworth. Johnny Jones' girlfriend, Goldie Gates, was played by Cohan's wife, Ethel Levey.

BY JEANNE PROKO _The Holy Spirit Library displayed Thomas P. Maiocco's art exhibit the week of October 5.

A native of Rosemont, Maiocco works with commercial art in the advertising area. "Painting is just a hobby for me," said Maiocco .

Basically, Maiocco likes to experiment with all types of styles-farm scenes, animals and design shapes in either acrylics or oils.

Besides painting, Maiocco is also a pianist for various benefits .

One such event occurred for George Collins on October 9th in the theater.

Twenty-four paintings were displayed in the price range of $85.-$485. Most of his paintings were done in vibrant colors especially the "Full Parrot."

Maiocco seems to pay special attention to his winter farm scenes, because they have a flavor of a snowy, rural countryside.

Included in his selections are: "Hourglass Abstract," "Clowns," and the "Madonna," which is an exquisite piece of art.

The library hopes to have more exhibits of this type, and by having the book-a-brae sale, it hopes to raise more money to establish such a project. /

BY MARY COLLINS

The women's volleyball team is off to another highly spirited and determined season.

"The teams record of 3 wins and 7 losses doesn't really show the team's potential," stated Helen Goodwin, coach.

According to Goodwin, the teamhas shown a tremendous amount of improvement and determination since the first game. "If only we could play the first couple of games over the outcomes would surely be different."

The team's best games were against Harcum and Rosemont. In these games Cabrini showed their talent and determination to win.

Cabrini's capability and skills seemed to overpower Harcum by shutting them out 3 games to 0.

Kathy Cordilla who was having a lot of trouble with her serves seemed to overcome this by serving 13 points in a row. This was a tremendous boost to the team's incentive to win.

Tennis team plays for fun

BY CONNIE AIELLO

The Women's Tennis Club opened its first season despite "lack of facilities, lack of coaching and lack of players," one member said.

"Even though we've lost all our matches, mainly because of lack of players, we've never totally lost a match 0-5," Carol Wahl, first singles player, said.

The Club competes this season against Delaware Count.)' Community College, Eastern College,

Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, Gwynned-Mercy College and Widener University.

Individual members stand out on the team. Sue Roth, a freshman, won second singles ag_ainst Eastern, Pharmacy and Gwynned-Mercy. Joanne White won third singles against Pharmacy and Gwynned-Mercy. In a pro-set against Delaware County Community College, Roth and Wahl won first doubles, 8-2.

"Primarily, I set up matches.

There is no actual coach," Helen Goodwin, assistant professor of physical education, said. "It is a club and not a team mainly because we don't have a coach since basketball season is the same time, plus there is the lack of facilities. We also just started a hockey team and we're building that. We'll keep working on it, but for the near future, it will probably remain a tennis club."

The Club's final match is against Widener University on Oct.13.

Spectc;icularBid withdraws from Jockey Club Gold ·cup

BY DIANA McSWEENEY

Be prepared for the unexpected.

A good maxim for just about anyone in any situation, but particularly pertinent to a reporter on location .

Ther~ I stood in the paddock area, or saddling enclosure, of New York's Belmont Park racetrack, busily scribbling notes on the horse who was unquestionably the star of the day's feature race, Spectacular Bid. The race that was to be his showcase, the 62nd running of the Jockey Club Gold Cup, at a purse of over a half a million dollars, the richest in thoroughbred racing to date.

At around 4:45 p.m., with a little less than an hour to go before the race began, I noticed a substantial increase in CBS-TV's production activity. Several members of their television crew were scurrying back and forth between the upcoming program ' s commentators.

Hmm, what did they know that I didn't know?

My curiosity piqued. I didn't have to wait long to satisfy it as I caught a piece of conversation I realized was between two members of CBS' s crew . A person standing not far from me had obviously picked up the channel the program director for CBS was using to communicate with his

Soccer improves with experience a·nd effort

BY REGINA O'LEARY

On Friday, October 10, the Cabrini Soccer team hosted Longwood College from Farmville, Virginia.

Cabrini took a demanding lead in the first half when left wing Tom DeMaUeis scored 15 minutes into the game. Cabrini's second goal came when right wing Mike ~ Stevens scored eight minutes later, making the score 2-0.

However, the lead didn't last long as Longwood came back late in the period. They scored three goals, at 32, 35 and 37 1/2 minutes into the period.

The game ended with a 3-2 victory for Longwood after a scoreless second period for both teams .

Despite the loss of the game, coach Will "Lupe" Langton felt it was a "nice game" and that it was

successful. Langton also felt that his team was "back on the tracks again ' ' after having some problems earlier in the year. He attributes the good playing of the team with "team meetings and more intensive driving for the ball ."

Langton also added that th e system they play "is aimed for a low scoring game," and that the team held off the last six games by scores of 2-1.

Friday's game was a jubilant one for Mike Stevens. Stevens , a senior, scored his first goal in four years of soccer on Friday .

"I looked forward to it with great anticipation, but it was anticlimactic. I look for team goals rather than individual ones. I would rather see the team get three goals," said Stevens.
