athletic department budget proposed

BY JIM LAWLOR

The Athletic Department has proposed a budget for next year that is approximately six times higher than its current one, according to Jolyon Girard, Men's Athletic Director . The amount of the proposal was not disclosed . Unofficial reports, however, estimate the current budget at $4,000. Girard called this unofficial figure "fairly accurate." Academic Dean Joseph

New hOuses to

be built by Sept. BY DENISE TERIFAY Three new residential houses will be built and ready for occupancy by Sept., 1980. This is the outcome of the Feb. 25th meeting of the board of trustees. These houses will be built adjacent to the three existing houses. They . will accommodate 23 people each. Although these will be built as dorms, they will be able to be sold as family houses in the event of dropping enrollment. These buildings will house men or women depending on the demand said Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, president. "The funding for the new buildings comes from the Miissionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart," Sister Mary Louise said. In addition to housing, other student needs are being considered. "We know what our needs are. We're trying to get a priority list," Sister Mary Louise said. Widner Trust funds already received will be diverted to the expansion of other campus facilities. One of the items under considera-

tion is a multi-purpose building . Sister Mary Louise said that room for parties and concerts is definitely needed. Also, in order to create some space •for more classrooms, Sister Mary Louise suggested that it might be possible to move club offices out of Sacred Heart Hall and into this multi-purpose building. However, Sister M~ry Louise explained that it would be impossible to have this accomplished by September. The board will be considering this proposal at their meeting in May. Dr. Joseph Romano, academic dean, speaking of the classroom situation, said, "We're at capacity now. W're thinking about splitting more classrooms like we did with rooms 1 and lA. I don't see it as critical. We can also adjust it be moving the schedule." Sister Mary Louise said she would like to see the schedule start earlier and end later. "We could pretty much accommodate 600 students with the facilities we have on our master plan," Romano said.

Athletic Dept. Continued from Page 1 the proposal was not all-of-the-sudden, nor unannounced. "Two years ago," he said, "Helen ( Helen Goodwyn, Women's Athletic Director) and I began a comparative of other schools with which we compete . We found that we are in competition with schools that have budgets several times greater than ours." For the past four years, Girard has warned that the budget was insufficient in his yearly reports to the Academic Dean: 1976: "With some revisions, the budget is sufficient to maintain the various programs. As male enrollments rise, however, it will be important to create a more substantial athletic structure as part of Cabrini's general appeal and its commitment to the liberal arts education ." 1977: "As male enrollment increases, the college must consider a major revision of its thinking regarding men's athletics, to include small grant-in-aids to attract student athletes, a major renovation of athletic facilities, and a large increase in budget to continue to offer programs that match existing competition in the small college area." 1978: "The single significant problem that confronts the department is inadequate budgeting. Cabrini College's budget for athletics is far below accepted standards for colleges of comparable size and offering. We have been encouraged and commissioned to develop an athletic program that can compete successfully with legitimate s6lall colleges in the area. In grant-in-aid money, and operational budget, Cabrini College cannot compete at the level desired." 1979: "It is essential to note, however, that the present operating budget has reached a critical stage. Comparable colleges in the area operate with budgets in excess of $40,000 - 50,oto. Cabrini College must seriously consider comparable expenditures in order to offer services and programs that compete." Why, then, is the budget receiving so much attention this year and not the past four years? Girard suggests two reasons. First is that competition has enhanced our reputation, and suggested that we can compete. Second, according to Girard, is that the continued interest in male enrollment has created an increased interest in the upgrading of the athletic department. Romano suggests that the issue is receiving attention because the department can no longer be dependent on grants which have supplemented its budget in the past. The proposal seems to be getting a lot of support. Master Planning committee chairman Frank Saul said, "The proposal has been well received, it is getting a lot of sympathetic attention." Saul also said that his committee favors the proposal, but can take no action on it. According to Saul, the Board of Trustees has final decision. The Master Planning Committee has forwarded the proposal, and it will probably be on the agenda of one of the spring meetings, he added. Saul thinks the proposal's chances are good, but it may undergo some re-definition." Girard is not as sure, "I am impressed with the support and optimism, but committees don't make decisions, the Board of Trustees-does, and in that area I'm cautious about expressing confidence."

Romano ·speaks out on the 80's Ashe put it, "Every school needs a good athletic program, not just for admissions, but to make it viable and ,respectable as a whole ."

On Monday, February 29, the Loquitur staff held an in-class press conference with Joseph Romano, Acting Academic Dean, on plans for the 80's.

'

On business ...

Topics included the athletic program .s, Business Department, enrollment, the Fine Arts Department, the nursing program and physical changes for the future.

On athletics

Concerning business administration, Romano said that the college is trying to initiate a computer science program. The computer science program is very close now to becoming a certificate program.' Romano said that the aim of this new program would be 18 credits with a certification in one year .

...

Joseph Romano, Acting Academic Dean, has a positive attitude towards the growth of the athletic department at Cabrini. He discussed his views on this matter at a student press conference on February 25, 1980.

Romano said that the budget allocation for this program will come from grants and not tuition increases. According to Romano the college is hoping the allocation will come from the National Foundation of Science and also a local grant . He added that the amount of grants the college is applying for is approximately $20,000. Romano said that any major could have a concentration in computer science .

There are two grounds on which Romano discussed the future of the athletic program. First, the immediate future was discussed in terms of next year's athletic budget. Secondly, Romano talked about long range goals concerning the growth of the department in the eighties.

"Every school needs a good athletic program to make it viable and respectable as a whole."

According to Romano the future of the business administration program depends upon Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, president ; the Board of Trustees; Romano and Gerald Satlow, department chair person of business administration . Romano said that Cabrini has consulted with Easte _rn College and Pierce Junior College for a general point of view concerning a business administration program . Concerning a rumor that Satlow was leaving Cabrini , Romano said that "as far as I know, he is not leaving ; however Mr. Satlow will be moving out of business into computer science and math ." Romano also said that the college will be hiring a full-time faculty member in September for the business administration program. Romano said that the departmentment hopes to establish internships and specialize in the business administration program within the next five years . He also said that currently the college is leasing three I.B .M. computers and are being used in the Introduction to Computers courses .

Romano said that the proposed budget for the athletic department is four times greater than the present one (as opposed to Jolyon Girard's assessment of it as a sixfold increase) . When asked if the proposal was in the fifteen to sixteen thousand dollar range, Romano said that figure was "fairly accurate." Romano is supportive of the proposal. He said he hoped it would pass the board in the spring , and that he would try to help it do so. The reason that Romano feels the budget should be increased this year is that in the past, the department has been supplemented by outside grants, on which he feels they can no longer be dependent. Romano suggested that the increase in the athletic budget would come from a re-apportionment of existing funds. In conclusion to his discussion of the proposed budget, Romano said, "If we have athletic needs, let's fulfill them." Regarding the department's growth in the eighties, Romano was supportive in general, but rather unspecific. Student journalists asked Romano if Cabrini would see such things as a racquetball court, a new gymnasium, and a fulltime athletic director. He agreed that these ideas are attractive ,but that he knew of no plans for any of them. · There are two changes Romano would like to see. The first is the addition of seats to the gym , the second is the re~stablishment of a field hockey team. Romano is very supportive of growth in the athletic department. ,

On enrollment ... Dean Romano was then queried on Cabrini's enrollment projections, maintaining academic standards, and the role of the school's present facilities. Dean Romano, how does Cabrini anticipate reaching the projected enrollment goal of 600 students? "Well, we are very close to that goal now, our student body is nearly 500. In the last two years Cabrini has seen the largest number of incoming freshmen in the school's history. This past fall we had 140 students and we anticipate exceeding that number in the fall of 1980. If we maintain quality programs here we will attract the people we need ." Can Cabrini's present faculty and faculties accommodate the increased number of students without adverse affects?

... ....... .......----~-.-.--. .. ... ... ....... -........ .,.

-

"With our present facilities we can still operate up to par. If we increase our enrollment significantly we will hire new faculty. Our teachers right now have a normal teaching load. We are not going to ask our full time teachers to take on a larger load because of enrollment." "We can pretty much accomodate classes now but we'll work with the schedule, which is flexible, and splitting classrooms is another option open to us." Dean Romano, do you think that Cabrini will, in expanding, sacrifice its personalized atmosphere?

"We are not losing .our small image." "We ~re not losing our small image. Personal contact is not limited to the classroom . Our faculty have contact with the students in the cafeteria at meals, the student-faculty basketball game, and other activities." "I'm not in favor of 55 students in a class, but in a lecture classroom of 35 to 45 students we can still maintain our close, personal approach . It is still possible for a teacher to get to know everyone . We will never lose sight of the fact that we are working with people." Will Cabrini lower, or compromise, its reqiqrement standards to reach t1¢, deaired en ollment? "Traditionally we would reject approximately 10% of our applicants , this past year we rejected 15%. With the increased applications we have a wider range to select from and , therefore , qualit y would increase. "

On Fine Arts . Concerning the Fine Arts Department , Dr . Joseph Romano , Acting Academic Dean , was asked many questions about the Fine Arts program -- Past , Present and · Future . The main thrust of questions dealt with the development of Fine Arts at Cabrini , or , in another sense , the lack of development . Romano was first asked why Cabrini, a liberal arts college , had no formal major in the area of Fine Arts, and why , when it was brought before the Board of Trustees was it tabled soon afterwards? In response to this Romano explained that the proposal for a major in Fine Arts was approved by all levels , but with Sister Salesia 's failing health the idea was sidetracked. "Sister's forced retirement prevented completion of a formalized major ," said Romano . The second question centered around the faculty that make up the Fine Arts personnel. Romano was asked if Mrs . Adeline Bethany, Fine Arts co:-0rdinator , would be hired as a full time faculty member in September and also if there would be any additions or changes in the remaining faculty . Answering this question Romano remarked that , yes,

The interview was concluded on the note of "What direction do you see the Fine Arts department going in the future? "Hopefully their will be a formalized major. The interest is there and that is the main incentive for growth and expansion ," he concluded.

On physical ... Physical changes relating to the academic realm of the colle~e will also be made in the eighties. "Additional classroom space will be of prime concern as course offerings are increased," said Joseph Romano, acting academic dean.

"Additional classroom space will be of prtme concern as course offerings are increased." Plans will also be made to better equip the gym with athletic apparatus and to put a computer center in Grace Hall. Other physical improvements to the school are also under consideration and will come into existence in the eighties. •••.•

Experience is best teacher BY JIM LAWLOR If you were looking for someone

to teach "Art for Elementary School Teachers," who would you hire? Probably an elementary school art teacher, right? Well, that's just what Cabrini's Fine Arts Department did when adding its newest member, Joanne Nitta. Miss Nitta is the art teacher for the Upper Perkiomen School District. She works with 1300 children a week. They range in age from five to nine. This task may seem herculean, but it has proved rewarding. At the Ninth International Children's Art Exhibition, held in Tokyo, Japan this past summer, her students won seven silver medals, and a gold medal. Almost 12,000 children from 68 countries entered the exhibition. This semester, Ms. Nitta came to Cabrini to teach her methods to about twenty-five education majors. Her aim is to provide them with a wide variety of ideas. "These students are learning ev-

ery medium of art I can squeeze into a semester. They can use them in their classes, they'll have a lot of ideas," Nitta said. According to Nitta, she teaches the c6llege students the same way that she teaches the grade schoolers. This method consists of a brief instruction and then letting the student be creative. Copying the teacher is forbidden. Sophomore Chris Collins enjoys this method. "The best part of the course is that we get to experience everything we are going to teach the child." ' Nitta adds that, "They are going through the same frustrations a child does." She does, however, have great faith in their ability. "Most people don't know how creative they are. If you give a student confidence and re-assurance his creativity will come through," said Nitta. Nitta sees art as more than just an added frill. She sees "itas a part of everyday life. According to her, ·

"The more artistic a person, the more a person he is. This comes down to how he dresses, buys a car, or paints a house. Everything is designed by an artist. If you teach a person to see like an artist, he'll experience more, and his world will be broadened." According to sophomore Lorraine Alessio, this view of art comes through in class. "She shows you that other subjects can be taught through art. For instance, if you want a child to learn the parts of a fish, have him draw one, and show him a fin and a tail on his own work." Another sophomore, Barbara Barry, added, "You find that art is a lot more than drawing. It has broad and practical applications that a teacher can be creative with to give variety to her classes." Joanne Nitta's class meets Mondays at 6 p.m. in room one of the library. Nitta is a graduate of Moore College of Art in Philadelphia, and has taken education courses at various local universities.

Rape lecture stresses student awareness BY KITSY HUMF.S

I was a little hesitant to make an appearance at Woodcrest to hear the lecture and see the film on the subject of rape. From what my parents had taught me, I thought I knew everything about rape, what to do if someone were following me, how to react if a stranger came up from behind and dragged me into his car. Apparently I only knew the basics. To my surprise there was a lot more to know from what had been previously drilled into me by my parents. Rape. The word probably

doesn't exist to most of us living on campus. Maybe the reason it doesn't bring much attention to us is because we are fortunate enough not to have this kind of problem on campus. Remember, though, rape can happen anytime, anywhere. Not only to women but to MEN as well. Detective William M. Zimmerman of the Radnor township police department and Joanne Canada from the organization of Women Organized Against Rape (W.O.A.R.) discussed two weeks ago the prevention of rape and what to do if you are sexually as-

Q.OGSHOPS

Check your local yellow pages.

If you're on the street look like you can handle yourself. Plan your way home. Avoid walking down dark alleys and places where men hang out. Walk near the curb, not near bushes . If someone is following you turn around and check. Cross the street. If the person is still following you remain calm. Choose a house close by and bang as hard and loudly as you can on the door. Zimmerman couldn't emphasize the fact enough : Always BE AWARE and REMAIN CALM." If you are raped tell the first person you know or call (W.O.A.R.) at

LD 6-4342 , then report the incident to police immediately. Remember things about the attack and the attacker. Avoid washing or showering, it may destroy evidence. Go to the hospital immediately for treatment. These are just a few important details to keep in mind. For those who missed the lecture and film on rape, I hope the opportunity comes up again for you to see it.

Many students have looked upon the flu-studies program here at Cabrini as a convenient way to make some money when they are down to their last pennies. But according to Mrs. Mary Mulligan. R.N., who supervises the projects, the studies serve a triple purpose. "The students know · what the studies are about. They actually get three things, knowledge, money, and protection." The students who take part in the studies are not the only ones to benefit from them. The research companies who sponsor the tests have donated two scholarships to

Cabrini students majoring in science. One company is owned by Mr. Rinaldi, the other by Mr. Glen Smith . Some of the different studies run at Cabrini have been aspirin studies, anti-depressants, and antihistamines. The drugs for the projects are donated by the Lederle Drug Company in New York. All drugs used in the studies are federally approved. However, Mulligan looks up each drug to be used before agreeing to do a certain study. "I like to know the pros and cons of everything myself first." Mulligan has been supervising

the projects here for three years now. Originally, she helped Eastern College with their tests, but continued the studies at Cabrini after Eastern decided to drop them. Cabrini students Mike Stevens and Al Iannucci help with the studies also. They do lab work, as well as paperwork. "It helps them to be responsible," said Mulligan. They are paid for their work. Mulligan says that the research companies are very concerned about the students. Their health and safety is what receives the most attention. Mulligan herself is always there while the tests are being run, and afterward she

keeps a close watch on the students involved. The money the students are paid for their participation comes from the research companies. There are .different set fees for different tests. Students must report to Mulligan according to directions to be paid for the test. If a student does not show up at the designated time they are not paid, and they are not allowed to take part in any other projects. Mulligan seems very pleased at the efficiency with which the studies are run, on both the part of the research companies and the students involved.

Irish to keep tradition BY MARYANN RIBICK

-

Have you seen any little men dressed in little green suits lately? Or have you heard songs from good ole Ireland in the halls? If you have, they might well be part of the Irish Minstrel Show. Along with the "wearin' of the green" on the Cabrini Campus goes the Irish Minstrel Show, a tradition since 1964. This year's Minstrel will feature an original plot and many popular Irish songs with special verses concerning the campus community. 路

Sponsored by the chemistry dep a rt men t, the Minstrel has featured such favorites as Finnegan's Wake, the Holy Father in Ireland, and Charlie's Angels in search' of the Blarney Stone.Irish songs and ballads add to the flavor of the Minstrel and for at least one evening, everyone is Irish. "The Minstrel is great. I look forward to the rehearsals and being involved in it," said Maureen Carroll, '83. "The Irish Minstrel," said Joseph Feighan, professor of chemistry, "has drawn attendances as high 400."

"Special. ed. iobs profiled" BY REGINA O'LEARY

On Thursday, Feb. 21, the Career Guidance Department held a workshop on 'Career Opportunities in Developing Human Potential.' The program was designed to give insights on services for the mentally retarded persons, and covered vocations in the field of special e,ducation. Among the speakers were Jim McClean, the director of Lower Merion vocational training center, a division of Human Development, Inc. of Wynnewood. This organization, founded in 1970 by adults and students of the mentally retarded, provides services for the mentally retarded person. McClean spoke on career opportunities in working with the mentally retarded, and that a special education degree is not necessary. Nancy Thaler is the director of 'Community-Based Residential Program for Ken-Crest.' KenCrest is an organization that provides services for mentally retarded persons. Thaler spoke on community living arrangements, such as the Rivercrest Center, which is a self-contained community for the mentally handicapped.

A third speaker, Pat Moir, also lectured. Moir is employed by the Montgomery County Mental Health Association. She spoke on getting the retarded person out of institutions and into a more home-like environment. According to Mrs. Kesselman, director of career guidance, over 50 people were in attendance, including members of Dr. Sicoli's special education classes. Also, according to Kesselman, there were students from other majors and members of each of the academic classes. Mrs. Kesselman was pleased after the workshops. "Some even signed up for appointments for workshops, resume writing and interview , s.iicfkesselman. Mrs. Kesselman was netped by junior Cathy Elliot, president of the Council for Exceptional Children. According to Mrs. Kesselman, "This shows in~erest in bringing professionals on campus to discuss career outlooks and plans." The next workshop for students will be a Career Guidance Workshop to be held on March 20 1980, in the library conferenc~ room.

''The students involved usually have a good time and find the Minstrel fun and enjoy taking the production to St. Mary's Province in Elverson," said Josephine Rondini, assistant professor of chemistry. "I had never acted before," said Detsy Lynch, '81, "but I really enjoy being in the show, especially the look on the faces of the children when we go to St. Mary's." This year's Minstrel will be held on March 18 at 8 p.m. in the Gym. It is open to everyone and will be followed by refreshments. 路

SAC constitution revised BY REGINA O'LEARY

"Cabrini has changed so much, the constitution was revised to meet these changes." said Karen Genello, the new chairperson of the Student Academic Council. It had been eleven years, since 1969, that the constitution for this student-based club was changed. The Student Academic Council (SAC) is a committee made up of students from each of the majors at Cabrini. The SAC'S responsibilities are aimed at handling academic problems and concerns that are suggested by the students. The SAC works with its subsidiary, the Academic Grievance And Suggestion Committee, in handling strong student problems. "The S C presently as 16 epartments" said Genello. "At one time there was one representative for all the education departments so it only had eleven members." ' Since Genello took office, she has changed things. "Now there is one representative for each of the departments of Early Childhood, Education, and Special Education, whereas before there was only one." said Genello. This was a step in providing for the changes _that

Student teachers feel comfortable : BY OLIVIA PETTENGILL

There's been a rumor spreading around campus concerning Cabrini's student teachers. Apparently, many of the schools to which the students are sent to teach, prefer student teachers from Cabrini over those from other area colleges. Teachers have had experience with our student teachers, were interviewed to validate the rumor. The first school visited was the St. Davids Nursery School, which has been a favorite placement for many student teachers over the years. Cindy Grivner has been a cooperating teacher in the past, . and is again this year. She had this . to say about Cabrini's student teachers, "They don't come into a program totally unfamiliar with what is expected or what is going to happen. They are willing to do as much as we want them to do and to learn as much as they can. "Griver praised the student teachers on their reliability and said that the students are generally very serious about their work. Teacher Karen Walcoveick, also from St. David's has not had eX:-

perience with student teachers but will have one in March. She said, "From what I've seen, I am looking forward to having my student teacher come. They help out a lot and seem to have a lot of good ideas to bring to the classroom. I think Cabrini does a pretty good job preparing their students." Evelyn Kappler, who will be student teaching at St. Davids for the next six weeks was asked how well prepared she felt she was. She said she felt she was generally well prepared as a result of her junior field observations, . pre-student teaching and路 the knowledge gained in her classes. "The first week you kind of ease yourself into everything," said Kappler, "you pick the little things up as you go along." Three cooperating teachers from the Paul Fly Elementary School in East Norristown were also interviewed. Mrs. Lynn Bearoff, one of the teachers at Paul Fly, feels that the rumor preferred is basically true. She said, "On the whole, we basically feel that way because they're so well mannered," Mrs. Dorothy Donnel said of her student teacher, "She knew what to do without having to be

asked. I wish she could have stayed longer. Six weeks is an awfully short time." Mrs. Theresa Carfagno, also from Paul Fly, has had experience with student teachers from other colleges as well as from Cabarini. She said, "All three of the girls that I've had from Cabrini, if I had a choice, I would take them again. They were very cooperative and nothing was too much for them. They are very open and they take constructive criticism very well." Maureen DeLeo who recently finished her student teaching at Paul Fly and is now student teaching in another area school, feels as though she was well prepared for her placement. -She said, "It

In 1972, memWhat's in store for the future of SAC? "In the future, we hope to survey alumni and students about the general education reauirements," said Genello "to see how they felt or how they benefited Cabrini."

bership rules were changed, anci the students were chosen by the department head. Though the basic format is still in effect today, Genello has changed things slightly. "Now students are elected in May," said

When Genello started in the SAC in her junior year, she realized that there was much work to be done. She describes herself as "dedicated" and she has gotten "quite a bit done" since then. The present.<fay senior is happy with the SAC and student response. "Students at Cabrini are very responsive, and I hope to stir up more interest." said Genello. With only two more months before graduation, Genello said "I wish I could stay on. I see the interest growing. I hope someone will pick up the ball and continue to pick up interest from the students."

and responsible wasn't a shock. My field observation and pre-student teaching gave me a chance to see what the classroom was like and what goes on in it. It's good because elementary school is not the same today as it 路was when I went to grade school." The rumor has apparently been validated. Cabrini's Education Department, including Early Childhood, Elementary and Special Education has developed a fine reputation. The general consensus among cooperating teachers is that the students are well prepared and very reliable. The supervisors, according to the cooperating teachers, are very helpf!Jf. However, several teachers expressed a need for more com-

munication. In the words of one teacher, "We as cooperating teachers, maybe, are not quiet sure what Cabrini expects of us. I would feel more comfortable if they would put out a guideline for cooperating teachers." The students themselves generally fell very comfortable about going to their placements and taking over a class. They feel that they are well prepared and usually don't find anything that is totally unfamiliar to them. The students attribute their good experiences to their training and their supervisors. There seems to be a general consensus, however, that they would like to have more personal attention and support from their supervisors to pull it all together.

Workshops being offered are Gestalt, Conflict Resolution, Psychodrama, Asse~ion Training, Personal Power, Imagining a Better Self-Concept and Marketing Consulting Skills.

A bloody BY MARY LANCE

There is no doubt that it was a day to remember - the day that 25 theater-goers took Cabrini's ancient school bus, filled with the lingering fragrance of the athletic team, all the way to New York to see the much acclaimed musical, 'Sweeney Todd.' As the bus trundled past a toll booth on the turnpike in scenic north New Jersey we could see New York city across the marshes. As our spirits rose, however, a tire on the bus went flat. Helpful personnel in the toll booth offices ordered cabs and 21 people squeezed into three taxis to continue the journey to New York's plush Uris Theater. Four others - Fred Thomas, the driver, Jerome Zurek and two students - stayed with the bus, waiting for the breakdown service . The musical, which won a Gram-

trip -to a bloody play

my Award for the best original cast recording, was the gory tale of a 19th century London barber. Crazed by the seduction and disappearance of his beloved wife and daughter, Todd, (played by Len Cariou) could think only of revenge . It was a powerful portrayal of a man overtaken by dark obsessions. The first murder, the deft throatslitting of a would-be blackmailer, led to the problem of how to dispose of the body. His neighbor, Mrs. Lovatt, played beguilingly by Angela Lansbury, proposed the perfect solution. From her premises below Todd's barber shop she sold meat pies. "Seems such a waste," she said coyly in her cockney accent, "especially with the price of meat today." There followed a gruesome duet in which they considered how different people

might taste. "Try the priest," said Mrs. Lovatt, handing.Todd .a piece of pie. "Mmm ... heavenly," said Todd. "You can tell the piccolo player." "How?" "He's served piping hot!" They concluded with a laugh that everyone goes well with beer. The blackmailer was processed, ground three times for tenderness and served in pies which were an instant success. To meet demand Todd routinely slit the throats of customers, whose bodies were dispatched through a trapdoor to Mrs. Lovatt's bakery. Eventually the wanton murders and thirst for vengeance led to personal tragedy for Todd that destroyed him. The legend of the demon barber of Fleet Street lives on in London's folklore. He is the bogey man - . "Sweeney Todd will ·get you," parents say ·to na~hty children. A

Theatre tunes in to radio BY MARIE PIZZUTO

The audience was "primed" with jokes and stories. Announcer Don Wilson pointed out the applause signs and tested the audience's enthusiasm to respond . The lights went down and the stage was set for the Big Broadcast of 1944at the Forrest Theater, Philadelphia. The show was performed exactly as a radio broadcast would have been 36 years ago, complete with commercials. The audience was advised they could have a beautiful home permanent wave with Perm-a-curl for $.59. That's much cheaper than an expensive beauty parlour permanent wave at $5.00. Harry James and his orchestra accompanied a cast of stars from the 1940's, and also contributed

such instrumental favorites as "The One O'Clock Jump," "You Made Me Love You," and "Cheri Cheri Bin." James still plays the trumpet with gusto and precision, and the orchestra equaled him in talent. Other stars in the program included Dennis Day, who sang some of the songs he is remembered for : "Danny Boy," "MacNamara 's Band," and "When They Begin the Beguine ." Fran Warren sang some more old favorites including "As Time Goes By," and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Warren starred in broadway productions of "As the Girls Go," " The Pajama Game ." Warren Covington and The Pied Pipers, originally organized in 1939 by Tommy Dorsey, con-

tributed "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree ." The band also performed "The Tea for Two Cha-Cha," for which they are credited with ~tarting the cha-cha fad in 1958. The Ink Spots, formed in 1934, sold over a million recordings of "If I Diftn't Care," "Do I Worry," and "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire ." The current group, under the direction of Bernie Mackey , contributed these favorites and also sang "Java Jive," and "I'll Never Smile Again ." Special guest star , the incomparable Hildegarde , contributed her million selling recordings of " Darling , Je Vous Ai me Beaucoup, " "I'll Be Seeing You," and "The Last Time I Saw Paris ."

crack unit of the -London Police, the Flying Squad, is known as the Sweeney. This is an example of London's rhyming slang: Sweeney Todd - Flying Squad. - · Cabrini's theater buffs were enthusiastic about the play in spite of the theme. Sandy Moffatt thought the production was excellent, particularly the ingenious special effects and lighting. Meg Hennessy was impressed by the drop props - stairs and a bridge especially - which were lowered and maneuvered into position as characters moved around, giving the impression of people walking along tortuous city alleyways . Joseph Romano enjoyed the play very much. "It was a grizzly theme tempered at the right time by comedy," he said . Those who stayed with the bus missed the play. They spent a

memorable afternoon on the turnpike in freezing temperatures enjoying the fresh air, the scenery and the bustling life of the high· way. Jerome Zurek reputedly spent much time gazing across the marsh reeds at the misty silhouette of New York city which looked for all the world like the backdrop of a theatrical production . When asked how he had enjoyed the afternoon, his face betrayed some deeply felt emotion but he replied with breathtaking restraint, "it was a unique experience." The theater-goers were grateful to David Milburn for all the hard work he put into organizing this trip . He was unjustly suspected of organizing the puncture also and narrowly escaped spending the remainder of the weekend srung up by his thumbs in the boiler room.

Continued from Page 1 "When the offer came I really wanted it. I was living my job 24 hours a day and could not have a personal life," he said. "I feel my living there (second house) has made no difference at all. I had a meeting with the men

the first day back and told Ron ( Katkockin ) and Mike (Glacken) they won't be taking on any extra responsibilities," Nicoletti said. "There is a dorm duty room set up on the second floor and the men have been very cooperative , he added .

American Gigolo

Hot stuff cools quickly BY KATHY BRUST

In the March 3rd edition of The Sunday Bulletin the "On Screen" column said, "Richard Gere is accused of murder." Unfortunately, this about sums up the entire movie "American Gigolo." "American Gigolo" is a Paramount Picture which stars Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton . The Freddie Fields Production was written and directed by Paul Schrader . It was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer . Basically it is a movie about a classy hustler, (Gere), who tries to make wealthy women happy. That is the extent of the entire movie . It never seems to get off the ground. You find out very little about Julian Kaye, (Gere), what he does, his clients, or the world that

he is associated with. Lauren Hutton plays Michelle Stratton, the wife of a U.S. Senator who sounds amazingly like Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts . As Gere's lover, Hutton is unimpressive . The movie was so poor it was almost impossible to tell if Gere and Hutton were any good in their respective roles. When the dialogue could be heard it was flat and dull. For the most part , Gere and Hutton seemed to swallow their words making their conversations unintelligible . The characters in "American Gigolo" were shallow . ."American Gigolo" looked as if Paul Schrade11 wrote it in a hurry and was unsure of what he wanted to say . I found myself wanting to leave in the mid-

. dle of the movie , but some morbid curiosity kept me in my seat. I think I wanted to see if the movie would improve . It didn 't. The plot of the movie seemed to be almost secondary . The conversation of the ushers at the back of the theater was much more interesting than the plot. ·· There were some good moments in the movie, however brief they may have ·been. The photography or the California scenery was very impressive . The music was also very good, especially the song "Call Me," sung by Blondie . But other than this there is very little to . recommend "American Gigolo." It just goes to show that this movie can not be based solely on the fact that Gere was good looking.

Strains of "Bow to your partner, bow to your corner, and swing your partner." could be heard as one approached the cafeter.ia . These odd proclamations were accompanied by music that was decidedly un-<iiscoand much hand clapping. What in the world was going on in Cabrini's cafeteria? That was the scene Friday night , Feburary 29,a culmination of country day at Cabrini. How one . wondered, did a virtual Hee Haw make its way to Cabrini's doors? "It started as an idea at a food committee meeting, " said Mary Goldner, chairperson of the food committee. "We were throwing ideas around for dinners that could be based on an international theme . Kathy Cordilla mentioned that F'ebruary 29 was Sadie Hawkins day and we were going to build around that idea . The sophomore class had a dance scheduled for that night so Chris Collins and Dave Murphy suggested we merge the two." What eventually evolved was country day at Cabrini. Students were encouraged to dress "country" and they responded with overalls and bright kerchiefs. Stouffer's provided a country dinner, which preceeded the dance, and was highlighted by barbecued chicken, corn and apple STUDENTS COMPETE in the Sadie Hawkin contest during the Sadie fritters, and cherry cobbler.

They say that travel broadens the mind and so it does - I have just witnessed indoor soccer for the first time. Raised with British soccer, to me football means association football played in driving drizzle on a field thick with mud which coats the players from head to foot within minutes of the starting whistle. Offered the chance to see indoor soccer I agreed gladly, always keen for a chance to see another facet of American life. Here I would be able to observe Americans enjoying their leisure time while being introduced to a game I'd never even heard of before. The Spectrum was packed, with the concourses teeming like Suburban station in the rush hour. Before an enthusiastic crowd of 11,000, the Philadelphia Fever played the Buffalo Stallions. The

players themselves certainly looked like soccer players except for the soft shoes and absence of mud. I was surprised by the tiny pitch with its neat bright green astroturf. The game was fast, but on the confined pitch it seemed somehow restrained and stage-managed with the ref sternly intervening for every infringement, breaking up the flow of play. The crowd loved it. "He didn't do nuthin !" yelled the girl behind me when a Fever player was sent off, while the Stallion he fouled writhed on the floor in feigned agony. To the left of me was a nonstop running commentary in Polish. The crowd roared its appreciation and protests, clapping to the frenetic pounding of the electronic organ. The Fever's star player was Briton Alan Kelley. "I have been playing soccer from the time I could walk." he said. A prof es-

there who danced had a great time ." Prizes were awarded to the best costumed couple at the dance . Sophomores Regina O'Leary and Pam Fitzpatrick won the contest and collected five dollar certificates to the Wigwam.

Doc Girard wins l 00th BY KITSY HUMES

"I used to go down to the gym in the afternoon when I first started teaching here and play with the guys at school," said Dr. ,Jolyon Girard, coach of the men's basketball team at Cabrini. Two weeks ago, Girard won his 100th victory game against Alvernia College and extended his overall coaching record to 103 to 34. The men happened to ask Girard if he would be interested in coaching them and he said yes. Before, the men had been involved with the intramural team at Eastern College but they had never won any games. After Girard agreed to coach the men they became of the four teams left in Eastern's intramural championship. ' Because of this, Eastern never invited them back the followiniz vear.

The men, however, still wanted to play. As a result of this Girard made "a couple hundred phone calls" and put together the first men's basketball team for the 1974-75year. The first season consisted of a 15game schedule which ended in 19 games when they added four more games at the end of the schedule. Two of the teams included in the schedule were high school teams because of the fact that teams were hard to get. Nevertheless, the idea caught on and as a result of this, male students became interested when enrolling at Cabrini. During the last six years the men's basketball program progressed rapidly. Competition improved every year. In 1976-77the number of games increased from 19 to 21. In 1977-78, Cabrini was in the

midst of playing well-known four year colleges. The schedule had then expanded to 22 games and they had entered in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. Girard expected to make it this far but not at such a (ast pace. The five year plan was to have a regular 26 game schedule, belong to a national organization to get legitimacy and recognition for the program. What was the overall feeling for Girard at winning the hundredth game? "It was nice for the kids. We had a little trouble with Alvernia but I'm not concerned with the one hundredth victory. The kids have worked hard and virtually by any standards we've had a very nfce successive program in the past six years. They are to be congratulated for that effort."
