Byron highlights family theme

BY FLORE CE . IA Willian\.. J . 'Byron, S.J. , Ph .D. was e guest speaker at Cabr ini's Convocation held on March 11th at 1:00 p.m. He is from Pittsburgh, Pa . and attended Saint Joseph 's College in Philadelphia, Woodstock College for his Masters in Theology, and the University of Maryland for his Ph.D .

The topic of Byron 's address to the college community was "Liberal Arts and the Commitments of a Lifetime ." " The main reason that colleges and universities are falling down on their job is that they are not educat ing the young on the responsibilities of married lif.eand having a family ," Byron said.

Byron feels more can be done in the classroom, the church and extracurricular activities to further educate the young about marriage and family life . " Problems of poor communications in marriage have reached epidemic proportions in the United States and colleges should be doing a better job to find the ground of good interpersonal communications," said Byron.

Byron said a young couple • contemplating getting married ,should adjust their living expenses to one salary, so that when a child is born, the .mother can withdraw from the job market without experiencing discontent.

He closed his discussion by say-

ing , " My concern is with the preparation of persons, as persons for the marriage situation ."

Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, president of the college, spoke about · the different crises in the world and said , "Cabr ini College is doing its part for the cause of American freedom by educating young people in the ideals of our nation.,, She expressed appreciation to the students in Europe involved in Project Outreach and also thanked the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart.

At the conclusion of Sullivan 's speech , the awards were pre sented to the achievers of the college . Student Government Association award was presented to Lisa Sherwood by Detsy Lynch, presi dent of SGA. The Cabrini College Service and Leadership Awards were g i ven to Salvatore Barabuscio , Victoria Ryan , Lisa Sherweod, Maurene Burns , David Murphy, Maryann Ribick and Detsy Lynch.

The Rinaldi Science Scholar ship, funded by Frank Rinaldi, was presented to Michael Glacken and Kathryn Hunchak. The W.W. Smith Charitable Trust Continuing Education Scholarship was presented to Salvatore Barabuscio, Marla DePolo, Brian Gould, David Murphy and Marie Pizzuto .

Club budgets

•

set for •

spring

Student activities play an important part of college careers and many are funded by a percentage of the general fees included in tuition . It is the responsibility of the Student Government Association to budget this money to the various clubs and organizations on campus.

To be allotted a budget, the club must be approved by S.G.A. Approval is earned by presenting an explanation of the purpose, officers and their duties, meetings, membership and elections, and a moderator to S.G.A. At the beginning of each fall semester, all clubs are subject to a review by the S.G.A. Budget Committee. This review requires all club presiden'ts to account for expenditures for the two previous semesters .

Failure to satisfy an accounting of expenditures when reviewed may cause a club to fail to be reconsidered for S.G.A. bujigeting.

The budget committee reports to the entire S.G.A. body at a regular meeting . The body then decides whether or not ~ budget will be allocated the following terms.

In order to receive their budgeted money, clubs must submit check request forms and a receipt to the S.G.A. treasurer . " This year , S.G.A. is budgeting $2,382 to t he var ious c lub s," Maur ene Burns, S.G.A. Tr easurer sai d. " We try to give each club as

There are twenty clubs receiving budgets from S.G.A. this year .

Each club is open to any member of the student body and generally opens any of its activities to any student.

Clubs attempt to sponsor a number of activities each semester.

These activities may range from talent shows to lectures and career seminars, and from foreign films to flower sales.

"As the activities of a club increases, so does its money . The largest amount budgeted this year is $350for the Living Arts Society .

Living Arts has sponsored a lot of activities this semester," Burns said. "The Athletic Association has received the second largest amount, $200," Burns added .

Although the sizes of clubs may vary greatly, there is a general attempt by all clubs to encourage the whole student body to take part in the various activities.

"Budgets for this year , on a per club basis, are smaller than in the past. We hope that this will encourage more of the clubs to become active raising funds for their activities ," Burns added. " S.G.A. is willing to help any club along, no matt er how lar ge or small , providing it meets the necessar y criteria of S.G.A.," Burn s said.

Phi Alpha Theta recipients were Kelli Armstrong, Al Iannucci, Ron Katkocin, Salvatore Barabuscio.

Initiated into the Society of Collegiate Journalists were Connie Aiello, Diana McSeeeny, Kathy Daly, and Detsy Lynch .

Students were inducted into Cabrini College's Honor Society by Dr. Gavigan .

Sister Mary Louise presented the staff awards to three members of the maintenance staff. These were Elizabeth DiCarlo ; Vita DiGianguelio and Frank Norcini.

The last award of the afternoon was the 8th Annual Faculty Award, presented to Kathleen M. D~ley, Assistant Professor of Social Science.

Cabrini to hold Special Olympics REGINA O'LEARY

"Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."

This is the slogan for the Special Olympics, and the winning phrase of some 300 or more handicapped persons who will be participating in this very unique event on March 28 and 29 at Cabrini College.

This will be the second year that Cabrini has held the Pennsylvania Special Olympics . The program has enlarged from the 150 Olympians in 1979 to over 300 in 1980.

This year about 100 of the athletes will be sleeping overnight at the college.

Athletes from ages 12and up will participate in basketball games on Saturday, March 28 and compete in Run, Dribble and Shoot Competitions on March 29, according to a program .of the event.

The opening of the ceremonies on March 29th will begin with an Olympic torch run, according to Kathy Mignogna, ceremonies chairperson . "The kids light it and run. We'll probabl y begin down at the houses or Woodcrest, and have three or four runne rs going to the soccer field."

A performance is scheduled by the Radnor High School Marching Band. The opening ceremonies also include the raising of the flags and the releasing of balloons if the weather permits.

"Huggers" and volunteers will also be present to help the athletes .

A hugger is a person who stays with a handicapped person for the day . "He or she is yours for the whole day," said hugger, Lourdes Latorre . "You take him or her where they want to go, do what they want do do. You learn from him, and he learns from you," Latorre said.

Huggers from area high schools , Villanova University, and Rohm and Haas, the tournament sponsors, will also be helping out, according to Mignogna.

"It's a day when everyone should come out," said Jim Amalfitano , chairperson of fund raising . "It's a living experience one you won't forget. " "You get a warm feeling of fulfillment ," said Debbie Loga n, chairper son of the awards committee. " It's reward ing," Logan sai d.

Sex rol8s are changing

BY MARY LANCE Women are increasingly demanding from their husbands a bigger say in decisions that affect the family and are also expecting more domestic help from their spouses, according to a study published recently.

This move toward greater sex role equality in the home was uncovered by University of Michigan researchers Arland Thornton and Deborah Freedman, who interviewed 1,161 women four times during the fifteen years between 1962 and 1977. Each time they asked the women whether they agreed or disagreed with such statements as "most important decisions in the life of a family should be made by the man of the house" and "some work is men's, some is women's and they should not to each others."

The study uncovered a tremen-

dous change in attitude among women toward sex role equality in the home during those 15years . In 1962,for example, only 33 per cent of the women thought they should share in decision making. By 1977 this had risen to 67 per cent who wanted a say in decisions affecting the family. In 1962, 56 per cent thought men should do household tasks but, 15 years later, 77 per cent expected them to help.

The women who changed most tended to be those who were, at the start of the study, young, newly married, well-educated and working outside the home. In general, those least interested in sex role equality in the home were older women or those who had not worked since marriage and ( contrary to the researchers' expectations) childless women .

The researchers noted that religious belief affected attitude.

Jewish women were more egalitarian than anyone else at the beginning and stayed that way; fundamental Protestants were least interested in sex role equality and did not change their views during the 15 years.

The research project began before the inception of the women's movement and ended when it was an established force in society. The researchers noted that the tremendous change in attitude toward sex role equality among most women reflected the impact of the women's movement which has raised searching questions about the sex-based assignment of tasks and authority in the home. Other contributory factors have been a dramatic rise in the divorce rate, the declining birthrate and the increasing trend among women to combine a job with homemaking .

Bruckman awards •1n question

BY OLIVIA PETl'ENGILL It's that time of year again, the time when many students apply or re-apply for scholarships and grants, and wait with high hopes for their results to come in the mail. There is a need for clarification concerning academic scholarships that will be awarded for the next school year .

Arlene Solomon, Cabrini's financial aid director, explained a few

points about the Bruckmann Scholars . According to Solomon, those students who are named Bruckmann Scholars at the Fall Convocation are not receiving a second scholarship as many people had thought. All students receive their scholarship award letters in the summer . At Fall Convocation, the scholarship winners . who maintain the highest academic averages have the honor of being named

Reaction to olympic boycott mixed

~,

I

Across the Nation ..·..

BY JOYCE PATITUCCI

When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in early January, U.S. President Jimmy Carter threatened to retaliate against the Russians with an American boycott of the 1980Summer Olympics in Moscow. Carter expressed his intentions to seek the support of America's allies, and his hopes that they ould empioy the same policy, should the Russians refuse to pull out of Afghanistan by March.

The power to boycott the Olympics lies not in Carter's hands, but in the hands of the United States' Olympic Committee president Robert J. Kane. Said Kane, "It's up to the athletes to decide." The majority of potential olympic contenders voted not to go. However, there were mixed emotions among the U.S. athletes.

At the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Bob Giordano, weightlifter, expressed his dissatisfaction with Carter's decision. "I've been training for ten years, always pointing to

J980. I don't believe the sports world is any place to voice political opinions. If it came to a vote I think the athletes would go against the President's wishes. I personally would." Sen. David Pryor of Arkansas defended Carter's stand by saying that to hold the Games in Moscow "would confer legitimacy on Soviet actions."

Said high-jumper Franklin Jacobs, "I was never thrilled about going to Moscow. I still want to be a superstar, but I have faith in my government and if they believe it would be best to boycott the Olympics, then I'm all for it."

As an alternative to holding the games in Moscow, Carter suggested that they either be moved, or held in different cities. Carter quickly assembled several ad hoc groups under special White House counsel Lloyd Cutler, in an attempt to find a city that could prepare for the Olympics in six months, or different cities that would be willing to hold different events.

A recent Gallup poll showed that

cial loss as well. Unfortunately, so would many American businessmen. For instance, NBC would have to replace one-hundred, seventy-million dollars in advertisements, despite the fact that Lloyds of London will cover 90% of their costs. Having invested well over a hundred-million dollars in the Olympics already, the network would undoubtedly suffer the greatest loss. But financial disaster cannot even begin to compare to emotional defeat. Said steeplechaser Henry M.arsh, a member of the U.S.O.C., "I realize a boycott would be a severe blow to the Russians. But as an athlete, the very thought of a boycott breaks my heart."

No one seems to know for sure where the future of the 1980Summer Olympics lies. The gloom over the whole crisis was thickened by IOC president Lord Killack, who has already stated that the Olympics will be held in Moscow this summer, or they will not be held at all.

I think finally as a result of consensus the concept will eventually fail, it will not remove the Soviets from Afganistan, but it will harm the individual athletes.

Blind student tackles problems

BY MARY LANCE

Imagine that you are working late in the library and suddenly there is a power outage . You are plunged into total darkness . You have a mental map of where the passageways and doors are but finding them without bumping into things or tripping poses a problem.

You grope toward the door but it takes a long time and you fervently wish the lights would come on again .

Life is like this all the time for a blind student, such as David Simpson, who has been blind since birth and is now a professional organist.

Good-natured and easy going, he is totally without self-pity about his, handicap and talks freely about the problems it causes.

After graduating from Bucknell University, he went to West- · minster Choir College for his Master in Music. What are the main problems faced by a blind student at college? The first one is finding your way around, says Simpson. On arriving at college he has to build a mental map of the campus, a slow business for which at first he needs help. He will ask someone to travel the main routes with him a couple of times to protect him from injury while he memorizes steps, turnings, doors (do they open inwards or outwards, where are the handles and so on) and other obstacles. From the main routes he can gradually construct a mental plan of the entire campus in about three weeks.

Most of a blind student's course work is available on tape and in braille, but there are always handouts in class and research to be done for homework projects, says Simpson. For this he needs fellow students who are willing to be

"Again. Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch. That connects with turn, kick, back-step, pivot-step, walk, walk, walk ... " says Zach (David Thome), to the twenty-five dancers trying out for the chorus of a Broadway show.

Although it feels like a real audition it is really just the opening scene of Michael Bennett's musical, "A Chorus Line."

"A Chorus Line" opened at the Forrest Theatre at the end of February and it plays there until the end of March.

In 1975,"A Chorus Line" opened at the Public Theater, then it moved to Broadway. It won the New York Drama Critic's Circle Awards for the best musical in 1975.In 1976,"A Chorus Line" won a Tony Award and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

"A Chorus Line" goes beyond its beginnings and the awards that this show has won. It is a celebration of music and dance . This is not a play that you just go to see . This is something that you, the audience, become involved in. There is no escape.

As the Forrest Theater becomes completely black and then suddenly the stage is flooded by

women's clothing," Nelson said.

Nelson said that she was "shaky" as to how the evening would turn out. "The weather was a big problem, however, there was also problems with seating arrangements due to an artist-inresidence concert two evenings later."

"I think everyone was excited and a bit nervous before the show.

It was a learning experience for me. It gave me confidence in myself because I didn't think I could do it," Dane Linn, a freshman model, said.

One member of the audience said that she was really impressed with the organization. She said that the students looked and acted prof~ssional.

Following the show, the junior class sponsored a dance with a disc jockey in the college cafeteria.

the magic

yellow light, you can feel the excitement in the audience. The audience becomes one of those twenty-five, eager young dancers on the stage.

I found "A Chorus Line" to be exceptio!lal. It was even better than I had thought it would be. I had waited four years to see this show and I was somewhat worried that it would be a letdown. I was delighted to see that it really is a terrific show.

There are many things that you can say about "A Chorus Line, " but I'm just not sure that words like "fabulous" or "wonderful " are adequate enough to describe the way this show makes you feel.

This particular production is just excellent. The lighting in "A Chorus Line" is an integral part of the show. It not only sets the mood of the show but it also delineates the different characters. Each of the dancers is spotlighted at one point or another in the show. They have to tell Zach all about themselves and the lighting helps to emphasize this.

What can you say about Marvin Hamlisch's music that hasn ' t already been said? With the lyrics of Edward Kleban, Hamlisch 's songs tell the whole story of "A

Chorus Line ."

Mere words are not enough to · describe "A Chorus Line." It is more like a feeling that you come out of the theater with, then a clear cut idea of what you thought of the play. It isn't something that you can think about. "A Chorus Line" is a feeling - a glorious feeling of having experienced something that you'll never be able to recapture.

If you haven't seen "A Chorus Line," do yourself a favor and see it before it leaves Philadelphia . Go and experience the magic .

I think that the best thing anyone could say about "A Chorus Line" is printed right on the program, "This show is dedicated to anyone who has ever danced in a chorus line or marched in step . . . anywhere."

Treat yourself, see " A Chorus Line" now, at the Forrest Theatre.

You'll be glad you did.

"A Chorus Line" is produced by the New York Shakespeare Festival under the leadership of Joseph Papp. It began as a Free Shakespeare summer festival in 1956. In 1964 the Festival developed a Mobile Theater to tour New York City parks.

Music lifts damp spirits

BY REGINA O'LEARY

The night was cold, wet and slushy, but nothing was going to dampen our spirits as we trudged through the city, making our way to the Academy of Music in Philadelphia.

It was March 13, and we had come to see a performance of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Anxiety levels were high as we entered the Academy and took our places in the red velvet seats.

The stage where they performed was arranged with red seated chairs and metal music stands.

However, it was only occupied by one woman , playing a violin, and a man, practicing his clarinet.

Soon, however, they were joined by the rest of the Orchestra, each practicing their own warm-up exercise. The result was one large, off-tune noise that was described by someone near me as 'unholy.'

But, these warm-up exercises marked the beginning of a night of

music that was a blessing to any ear.

The theatre silenced when conductor Stanislaw Skrowaczewski took his place at his podium. With a motion of his hand, he began two hours of orchestrated music .

The first set of selections for the evening was from Prokofieff's 'Suite No. 2 from the Ballet 'Romeo and Juliet.'

The first song from this series was 'Montagues and Capulets. ' What struck me was the slow, gentle humming sound of violins at the beginning.

The final song of the set of six was 'Romeo at the Tomb of Juliet.'

It resounded with the full power of all the musicians. One couldn't · help but notice the precision and robot-like movements of the violin players.

At the end of the Romeo and Juliet set, Skrowaczewski took his bows before conducting the next series of numbers entitled 'Con-

certo No. 25 in C Major for Piano and Orchestra' by Mozart.

This series was performed by about half the violinists and musicians, and the guest appearance of pianist Paul Badura-Skoda. The magical movements of BaduraSkoda's fingers across the keys sent music to every corner of the high domed theatre. Together with the rest of the musicians, the performance of these three pieces was calm and restful.

The reason for this was the playing of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor. This proved - to be uplifting to the audience who applauded loudly at the familiar beginning.

Powerful, stimulating, exciting, magical - these all describe the Philadelphia Orchestra, under the direction of Skrowaczewski.

However, said briefly, this musical evening was nothing short of 'fabulous.'

THE GERMANTOWN DANCE THEATRE presents REJOICE!, a celebration of dance with works by Philadelphian choreographer Jean Williams. Performances are Saturday, March 29 at 8 p.m . and Sunday, March 30 at 2 p.m . in Drexel University 's Mandell Theatre, 33rd and Chestnut Sts. For information, call VI 4-0233. Tickets are available at the Theatre's box office. Dancer is Gayle Williams.

Bogey's Back

BY JOYCE PATITUCCI

On March 6th, Films Inc. held a screening of the new 20th Century Fox movie, entitled "The Man With Bogart's Face ." Critics from the media as well as several area colleges were invited to attend .

The screening took place atop the Fox Building at 16th and Market Sts. Although the plush room could have easily accommodated one-hundred people, the mini-theatre was sparsely-populated. Perhaps those who were not in attendance had been forewarned.

The comedy-mystery starred Robert Sacchi as Sam Marlowe, a man who has his face surgically reconstructed so that he is the almost identical image of Humphrey Bogart. After his operation, Marlowe opens his new private detective business and then, the boredom begins.

The entire movie revolves around the search for the Eyes of · Alexander, the precious stones for which Marlowe has been hired to find. Four of his five clients have called upon him to find the huge, blue sapphires, which look more like heavily-dyed Easter eggs than they do gems. His fifth client, Mother, is portrayed by Yvonne Decarlo, Marlowe's 7 ft. tall landlady who offers him three months free rent if he can find Nicky, her missing munchkin boyfriend who is hiding from her. It is unfortunate that Decarlo did not appear

more often since she provoked most of the audience's laughter.

Also starring in the movie were Misty Rowe, Marlowe's moronic secretary whom he called Duchess, and Michelle Phillips, his lover who bore a close resemblance to Jean Tierney as well as Faye Dunaway . While both women's physical attributes were admirable, their acting abilities were not.

Most of the incidents designed to make the audience laugh were unsuccessful. For the most part, the humor was flat and the plot was uninteresting and uninvolving. (I myself was more interested in when Nicky would be found. ) Sacchi's performance was overly contrived and the constant twitching of his mouth very annoying . There are many films not worth seeing and this is one of them.

However abominable the movie was, I enjoyed the opportunity to attend a screening. The room in which the film was shown was very different from the conventional movie theatre . The seats were not coated with sticky candy and bubble-gum, and a portable bar replaced the popcorn and soda . concession. Having spoken with most of the audience, I learned that many of them had actually liked the film. I might add that many of those same enthusiasts were under the impression that Cabrini was a convent. You might want to judge for yourself.

Jazz loses pizzazz

BY DIANA McSWEENEY

"It's show time," says -Joe Gideon each morning as he looks at himself in the bathroom mirror ready to begin yet another frenetic day . Gideon utters the phrase like an incantation that is part of some sacred ritual. The religion he practices is show business and the sacrifice he ultimately offers is himself.

This is the basic premise for Bob Fosse's latest effort "All That Jazz." The film was directed by Fosse and written by him in coll a bor a tion with Robert Alan Aurthur . It stars Roy Scheider, Ann Reinking, and Jessica Lange .

Joe GideoB(Roy Scheider) is an enormous Broadwa y talent : director, writer, choreographer who, in his frenzied quest of achievement, has burnt himself out. "All That Jazz" is Gideon's reflections, done in an imaginative dream sequence, on the circumstances

that led him to a hospital bed awaiting coronary surgery .

Scheider's Gideon is a man of perverse qualities. His mistress and his daughter, , played respectively by Ann Reinking and Erzsebet Foldi, are probably the most stable and loving elements in his life. Gideon, however, relentlessly abuses their love, very conscious all the while of the pain he inflicts and seemingly unable to help himself. There was a demon inside him, eating him alive, and one had the distinct impression that the demon's name was Joe Gideon.

The first hour and a half of "All That Jazz" is a tribute to director Fosse's talent. The scenes of dancers trying out for Gideon's latest Broadway bound production are an eloquent testimony to the blood, sweat, and tears that are very much a part of a dancer's life. The perserverance, dedication, and

sheer exuberance that they bring to a craft that often brutally rejects their efforts is enthusiastically conveyed by a marvelous cast of dancers.

Once, however, the film reaches the point where it concerns nothing but Gideon's illness it begins to lose its punch. Fosse was probably very conscious of avoidng a screen version of "A Chorus Line." In his attempt to eliminate comparison he presents, in a film that is already remarkably autobiographical, forty minutes of film that is nothing more than self-indulgent.

In the end "All That Jazz" is a visually stimulating film about a man who didn't know " ... where the game ended and reality began ." It is a slick showcase of the theater world and well worth seeing for anyone who enjoys this medium and can indulge the director the last portion of the film .

lntramurals get started

BY MARY COLLINS

Cabrini College has recently organized intramural basketball.

It was organized by sophomore Joe Kravitz. Kravitz organized intramural basketball "to allow the student athlete as well as the stu dents themselves the opportunity to participate jointly in a competitive sports atmosphere."

\

There are four teams : Tri-State, City Kids, Hometown, and The Apple. These teams play six schedule games to determine a play-off position and a championship game .

The games are played Monday and Thursday evening in the gy'!l at 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. There are two , 20 minutes halfs which gives the game more game like conditions.

The basketball teams are divided into many different combinations of players. Two members of Cabrini's basketball team are on every team and others combinations of student athletes .

The intramural basketball games are set up so they have a certified referee at every game , junior Mike Sulewski.

Kravitz also added "that without the help of the Athletic Department it would have made things much harder to establish."

HOMETOWN'S BURT FERGUSON crashes the board for 2 points as they went on to defeat Tri-State 53-51in the opening of the intramural basketball season on Tuesday evening, March 11.

Women's ~oftba/1 begin practice

BY KITSY HUMES

The Women's softball team is scheduled to open its season on Tuesday, March 25 against Eastern college.

The team under the guidance of sophomore Lore Kearney is expected to play a 10 game schedule this year with five games home and five games away .

According to Kearney , "Practices will be held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 3:30 p.m. with the possibility of one practice at night each week in which my father would help me run."

Practices will also include doing

sprint timings from home base to first base, running twice around the bases and doing an exercise called "Pepper," in which two people play to help quicken their reflexes.

"Since we have 32 women out for the team, we will have basically two teams that will interchange and substitute. The women will vote on who will start. Everyone will get a chance to play one game during the season," said Kearney.

Other teams included in the schedule are Textile, Chestnut Hill, Ursinus, Rosemont, Harcum, Swarthmore, Our Lady of Angles, and Immaculata.

Due to unforeseen circumstances,Fall 1980 registrationhas been postponeduntil after Easter Vacation.
