. Commuter Friday, February 6, ¡1981
(.
Closing the gaps between residents and commuters is¡one of the main issues on the minds of Theresa Collins and Franny Carusi, the newly elected S.G.A. president and vice president, respectively. Collins, once a commuter herself, would like to see commuters become more involved on campus than they were in the bast. She plans to do this through writing more newsletters and by advertising events so that students will be more aware of the campus events and activities. Scheduling activities when commuters are on campus would be one way in ,which they could become more involved. Collins suggested that such activities may be scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays around 1 p. m. when many students have a break from classes. One of the main goals of S.G.A. would be to reinstate the Judiciary Board, according to Collins. Collins believes that the Residency Council and Judiciary Board should work together and that in effect the Residency Council would save paperwork ( for violations) for the Judiciary Board. She believes that the Judiciary Board should be reinstated in such a way that a . "lier type base" would be formed.

What this would mean is that the Judiciary Board would act as an "overseer of the Residence Council" in matters that might be appealed. One example of this would be if a student was written up for a violation and didn't agree with the decision made by the Residency Council. One of the problems that S.G.A. has encountered is the issue of drinking on campus: Last year there was a party policy initiated. S.G.A. would like to have the existing policy be enforced more tis year, according to Collins. This policy requires that students and their guests show their college identification and proof of age in order to drink at the activity. Failure to comply would result in a $25 fine. Collins would like to be open to suggestions this year from " all channels" of the school -- the students, faculty, etc. "We don't want to close our ears and be powerhungry," she said. Other newly elected officers on the S.G.A. Executive Board include Cathy Masino, Recording Secretary ; Terri Calabrese, Corresponding Secretary; Janet Alfonsi, Treasurer; Dane Linn, Social Activities Chairperson; and Maria Cedrone and Peggy Heffernan, Social Activities Assistants.

Cabrini -is faced with outbreak of .flu BY REGINA O'LEARY
You are run down. You have a fever, and you hurt all over. Welcome to the flu season . It seems as if almost everyone at Cabrini has had some form of it this winter. According to Mrs. Mary Mulligan, RN, the school nurse, 48 people have been treated for the flu since school began on January 20. She said the places hit the hardest were the second and third floors of Woodcrest and Infante and Lansche Houses. What are the symptoms of this dreaded sickness? According to Mrs. Mulligan, the first symptom is excruciating headaches, followed by body aches and the feeling of being hot. Mulligan said that many of the students who are getting the flu are also getting the intestinal
virus, along with bronchitis and other symptoms. What should you do if you get these symptoms? "First, come see the nurse . Secondly, stay in bed," she said. "By yourself," she added. "Take two aspirin every four hours and drink lots of fluids. Get plenty of rest." Mulligan said that if treated early, the flu may be controlled in three days, otherwise it may take five days or more. How can you avoid being in this position? According to Mulligan, the number one thing to do is to "stay away from people who have it." She attributes the spreading of the flu to friends visiting other friends who are sick. She also added, to maintain a proper diet, get plenty of rest, dress properly and take vitamins, if you have them.

Edit .orial Let's use the rights When asking students the "What do you think" question for this issue there was a lacking in the knowledge of exactly what the Bucltley Amendment was. This seems sad, but one cannot dwell on the problem, one must correct it. . . . The Buckley Amendment for al) those who are ~till unaware 1~the student's right to see all academic records and flies that pertain to them in any way . This provision, that was added for the protection of the student, is only being taken advantage of by _a ~andful of students. The reason being, most of us don't know what 1t 1s. To students this amendment may be obscure and not worth knowing but the big question that comes to mind is, "How many other fre~oms do we have that we aren't acquaint~ witn?" _Scarer, huh . Our freedom of life, liberty and the pursmt of happmess_ 1s well , known to all but only being so because it has been drummed mto our heads since the very first history lesson we all hact. . . Another question-"How many freedoms _have we g~v_enup m ?~ lifetimes, because lack of knowledge has stifled our a~1l_1ty and will. As an example lets look in our own backya~d--Cabrm1 Colleg~. To be a resident on this campus every prospective student mll:it sign a residency contract. Okay, hands up-how many of us read _it before we placed the old John Hancock on the parchment?

Though this attitude is prevelant, m reality 1t does affect you more than any of us understand. The issue of student rights came into focus on college campuses during the 1960's. It was there through sit-ins, marches, and boycotts that students ' ideals and grievances were heard around the ,._vorld.But since those days a decade ago campuses have remained qwet reflecting on issues remembering Kent State . . College st~dents now have one thing in mind-get that Job after graduation . The 70's proved to be the ME decade, p~oducmg a struggle to accomplish for ones self rather than accomphsh for the wpole. The knowledge of knowing what is yours can make you mo~e a~are of how you stand if any problems occur ... All of us have certain rights even being from a private institution .

This not only keeps you on your toes, but also administrators on theirs. How many of us know where our student fees go? Do any of u_sreally understand what Title IX is and how it works? If you don't? fmd out. Cabrini can be commended for upholding our Buckley rights, but there are other areas where we can all become stronger. We have the rights, so let's use them! ! !
Letters Library: 'to assist, not enforce' Dear Editor: Re: last semester's editorial "A Student Visits Holy Spirit Library" (Nov. 21, 1980): many significant points were made in this well written editorial, including the comments about noise, periodical theft and mutilation, problems we heartily acknowledge. The library staff's primary purpose is to assist, not to enforce. Therefore , we depend upon each library patron to consider that the next person using the library may need to use the same journal article or may require a quiet place to study. Also, the Cabriniana Room is at present primarily a research room not under the auspices of the library. Hopefully , from time to time, information about St. Francis Cabrini will be on displa y, as it was the end of Nevember . Regarding periodical research, I would advise the student to determine before transcribing each indexed citation whether the library has that periodical or not by using the blue periodicals guide. If not , interlibrar y loan is a real possibility : last year 136 ILL transactions were successfully completed at Cabrini . Any of the librarians can help determine the feasibility of such a reques t. Last , to squash the pumpkin myth , the library is currently open almost 80 hours a week. Staying open until midnight would require · significantly more staff time and would be prohibitively expensive . Further, most late night studying can usually be accomplished in a study hall setting rather than in the library, with its various security requirements. The Dean of Students office has in the past provided a classroom for study should the need arise . We appreciate your concern and are open to suggestions frm the campus community. JUDITH OLSEN

I have also met some fine people , both students and faculty. My feeling of pride for Cabrini College is very strong, but sometimes that pride is chiseled away by the apparent apathy that surrounds our athletic programs for men and women. Our athletes work long and hard in preparation to defend the honor of Cabrini College.

·What .do you t.hink? The Buckley Amendment, a law granting students access to review their records/files was added to the Elementary and Secondary School Act of 1975.Now colleges are asking students to waiver their rights to review personal recommendations when they apply to the school. What do you think?
Beth Swan, sophomore I think that's wrong, there could be an error in the records that yo1,1would have no way of knowing about unless you had access to this information . This would be definite liability to you .
Theresa Collins, junior I think the students should have the right to do this, and the school shouldn't have the authority to keep the information from students . We should have the right to know.
Pat Dailey, junior I think it is a denial , once agai n, of st udents ' rights . We are not morons , we are not children . We are adults with the same rights and privileges as the good senator . Students must learn to unite for a common cau se and fight for our rights .
Lourdes Latorre, junior . I think college students should have the right to see past recommendati ons . If ther e is any information concerning them , they should be aware of it. That is our right.
Jamie Miller, freshman I think that 's absolutely wrong and unconstitutional. The students have the right , especially if not accepted to the school , to know what their records sa y about them .

Thornburg discusses college finances
•
BY JIM LAWLOR Governor Dick Thornburgh recently discussed issues of campus concern for collegiate journalists at a recent press conference sponsored by the Department of Education. · In his opening remarks Thornburgh said he is very proud of the diversity in the Pennsylvania higher education system. He said there are four types of Pennsylvania colleges: state colleges, which are funded by the state; state related universities, Penn, Temple, Pittsburgh and Lincoln; state aided universities and colleges which receive some aid; and private schools like Cabrini which get no money. Their breakdown, according to
the Governor, allows for various academic and economic incentives which creates a competitive bal: ance in the system. ThQrnburgh also said that the state colleges and universities would eventually be unified under a plan called the "Commonwealth University System." If adopted, this system would cut out many programs that are duplicated in every state college, and offer them at only a few. This change, according to the Governor, would cut out much wasteful spending thereby making the system economically efficient. Thornburgh said that the money saved would probably not be funnelled into the private schools, but rather _put back into the
Rape terrorizes women, perpetuates victim myths
I
BYDENISEJ. TERIFAY "Any female may become a victim of rape," Susan Brownmiller, author of "Against our Will," said. Rape, which is legally defined as "the penetration of the vagina by the penis,'' is a first degree felony. According to Women Organized Against Rape (WOAR), there has been an 18% increase in assault over the past year. "Women are trained to be rape victims," Brownmiller said. "The psychic burden under which women function is weighted by a deep belief, borne out by ample evidence, that our attractiveness · to men, our sexual desirability, is in direct proportion to our ability to play the victim." In an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, Jamie Lee Curtis, who often portrays the horror movie victim, said, "There's usually a sexual factor, yes. They kill the loose girls and save the virgins in most of these movies. I don't get excited about it. Women in jeopardy is just a standard ploy ; nobody thinks about it." Not only are women often portrayed as victims -but there are many myths surrounding the rape crime. Some common myths are: "All women want to be raped"; "No woman can be raped against her will"· "She was asking for it"· and "If you're going to be raped'. you might as well relax and enjoy it." These myths are also perpetuated by the written word. In one of his droll stories, Balzac uses the anaolgy "You can't thread a moving needle." John Updike, one popular reflector of the culture, used the line "He fought against her as a raped woman might struggle, to intensify the deed." Also, in "Rabbit Redux,'' Updike's character Janice said, "You know what a rape usually is? It's a woman who changed her mind afterwards." The truth is that any woman can become a victim of sexual assault. "Factors such as extreme youth, advanced age, physical homeliness and virginal life-style do not provide a foolproof deterrent or render a woman impervious to sexual assault," Brownmiller said. Statistics show that while any woman is a natural target for ,a would-be rapist, the chances are that a rape victim will be of the same class and race as her attacker, at least 70 to 90 percent of
the time. More often than not, she also will be approximately the same age as ber attacker, or slightly younger. Overall, the danger to women is greatest between the ages of 10 and 29. Some tips for women are : 1. There are some studies that show that if a person is able to see the assailant, chances are increased that the person will not be assailed. Look around and maintain . eye contact. This way he knows that you could identify him. 2. If you don't like what you see take some kind of action. If you don't like the looks of the men around you, do something about getting away from them. 3. Don't o<.cupyboth hands with packages. It makes you appear more vulnerable. 4. Don't carry a large purse or wear eye catching jewelry. As much as possible, "go with the crowds."
Commonwealth University's academic programs. He does not feel that this would harm the competition balance which he had mentioned. Also, the Governor feels that t.he private schools would not want part of the money saved because it goes against the · pride of the private college tradition. The education system and economic development are top priorities in the governor's administration. He feels that the two go hand-in-hand because one incentive to having businesses invest in the state is a strong talent pool coming out of the colleges, and an incentive for getting students into the state is the likelihood of getting a job with a business in the area. Many of the questions asked of the Governor concerned financial aid. There was concern shown about
the expected Reagan cutbacks. The Governor said that cutbacks ·could be made with only a minimal change in the net benefit to the student. The governor feels one way to do this would be to set up a matching funds cooperation between state and federal government. He feels this would take a chunk out of the cost of running an aid program, but wouldn't sufficiently alter the amount of aid. The Governor was asked if eligibility ceilings were going to be raised with the cost of income. He said that they probably wouldn't be because that would end up hamring the lower income student by forcing him to take a smaller slice of the pie. As for a PHEAA allocation are concerned, the Governor said he can't make a commitment until his budget gets through the assembly. He suomitted the budget on Mon-
day. Thornburgh was asked if the state was planning on giving aid to colleges which were caught short of funds when it was announced that work study students have to be paid minimum wage retroactive to October 1, 1980. He said that no such request was made, but it probably wouldn't be granted any way. Qµestions were asked aqout issues which were not solely of concern to college students, such as public transportation, abortion, and affirmative action. The Governor dismissed these with just mention of state policy. One student asked if the drinking age could be lowered· to 18 on college campuses. Thornburgh said that he favors a statewide drinking age of 18, but he is in a small minority, and lowering of the drinking age is far from likely.
Ethics of -Technology discussed at symposium BY BERNADETI'E LYNCH role of technology expands we have to define the role of engineers in production and design of their gizmos of which we are dependent upon for our lives," said John Fielder, Villanova University. Fielder presented the philosophical view at a symposim on Ethics and Technology sponsored by the Philosophy department of Cabrini College last Monday in the conference room of Holy Spirit Library. Other views presented included Ray Weglin of Rohm and Haas and Paul Duibin, social scientist at the University of Delaware. "Once we learn how to do something-ff we're going to do itthere are a lot of questions that should be addressed," said Fielder. "All kinds of things have to be weighed when making this decision." Weglein gave an overview of how a company such as Rohm and Haas gets involved in the development of technological tests.
"As the
"From a company 's point of view there has to be both profit and hum an it a r i an motives ," said Weglein. · "The tests aren 't without implementation to the public--0nce out on the market-public decides who will implement the tests," said Weglin. "We'll have to wait for future decisions to see how this will be regulated," he added. "For an individual firm to make committments to develop one of these tests it could not be done," Weglin said. "There has to be a payback - a profit motive attached," he added. "Our company is totally responsible for tests we develop and problems that may arise. The tests have to be reliable," said Weglin. Recently we had a total recall of a product when we found that less than 1/l<lh of 1% could lead to the wrong result. This comes out to one chance in a million that we had missed a child that had an abnormality," he said. "One program presently being developed and implemented is the _
BKU congential disease test that determines thyroid incidence in babies by measuring their level of thyroxin. The reason why this is important and is done in children is that at the age of three months if mentally ill prepared -this test can detect if the child can be helped ," said Weglin. 85% of babies tested survive and can live with an I.Q, of better than five ," he added . As far as cost is concerned Weglin said that for one single genetic screening test, $40,000 is / involved. "This may seem high but if you balance it against the cost of health care of the child for the rest of his life, $40,000 is not much to pay for protecting a life of the future," said Weglin. "Right now there is arguing going on about whether state labs or individual hospitals should do the test," said Weglin. "Very few states have adopted this pro gram." "Rohm and Haas is not involved in the implementation of this but we provide the materials and new products," he said.
Also, there has been new evidence that women who try to fend off rapists with forms of violence are no more likely to be injured in a sexual attack than those who don't resist. "The studies indicated that resistance, such as kicking, screaming, hitting, biting, and attempting to flee, increased a woman's chances of escaping an attacker," Mary Lystad, chief of the National Center for the l-revention and Control of Rape, an agency of the National Institute of Mental Health, said. When asked about the safety of traveling to school, Miriam Mitchell, freshman, said, "It's still dark when I leave in the morning and it's not really safe on the P & W." Another commuter, Mary Ann Homsher, sophomore, said, "It's awfully dark in the parking lot. I park my car close to the building so I don't have to walk too far." Resident Mary Jane Monostra, junior, said, "I think the lighting is poor on all the roadways. Also, I think there's a problem with security. After the doors are locked and a guard is called it takes a long time for him to come." Janet Ware, junior resident, said, "The campus in general is dark." "I think the campus is pretty safe," Regina O'Leary, junior resident, said. ~•People just have to get over their sense of PAUL DUIBIN, Dorothy Tolhurst, .Dr. Sharon Schwarze, Ray Weglin, and John Fielder discuss the paranoia." ethics of technology in our futures.

An unheOrd rhyme 1n the northeast BY MARUEEN CARROLL
Rain, rain go away. Come again another day - a rhyme not likely to be heard in the northeastern part of the United States due to a drought caused by lack of rain. The areas mostly affected by the drought include Pennsylvania, New Jersey , New York and Connecticut. The January 26 issue of the Inquirer reported that Greenwich, Connecticut , an affluent suburb of New York City , had only two weeks water supply remaining . The January 30 issue of the Shenendoah Evening Herald , the local Ashland , Pennsylvania paper , reported that water was being brought in from Indian Town Gap in tank er trucks for drinking and cooking. A limit of 40 gallons
of water per person daily was imposed. A pump was connected to a strip mine to obtain water for other uses and is available two-three hours a day. Laundramats are closed and the local reservoir is polluted with kerosene. Violation of conservation efforts would result in a $300-$3,000 fine depending upon the severity of the action. According to the Philadelphia Water Commissioner's Office, the problem of a water shortage dates back to the last two months of 1979. Although there was sufficient rain in March and April , 1980, the summer was dr y. In December , 1980, the Philadelph ia International Airport recorded its second driest reading for the month.
Other droughts previously experieneed by residents in the Philadelphia area date back to the 1930's and more recently, the drought of the 1960's which lasted from 1961-1966, the worst in the area's history. Since everyone uses water, no one particular group is to blame for the shortage . A voluntary conservation was issued in early November of last year with results of three-five per cent conservation. Some suggestions for conserving water"are : when showering , turn off the water while soaping and turn it on again to rinse ; use leftover bath water in the toilet ; fill your bathtub halfway and take a bath instead of a shower ; repair leaks ; don' t wash partial loads in
the washer and dishwasher; an<\if possible, use leftover water from the washer to water your plants. The Philadelphia area's supply is divided between the Schµylkill River and the Delaware Estuary. The estuary is connected to the Atlantic Ocean and flows at an average rate of 10,000-20,000cubic feet per second (cfs ). Recently the rate has dropped to lower than 3,000 cfs . Yet it is not the quantity, but the quality of the water flowing into the estuary which could be a potential problem if the drought becomes severe. The flow acts as a natural filter , flushing out impurities . But in December , 1980, and Januar y, 1981,the quality was not up to its usual level. However at this point, it' s not a problem
over which to be concerned. Here at Cabrini, measures are also being taken to help alleviate the current problem. Gus Nicoletti, director of resident life, sent notices to the houses and dorms notifying students of the water shortage and asking for their cooperation to help reduce the problem. An update was then sent to the RA's asking them to be wary of any waste of water. Anne McMann, junior, said, "I conserve water by not flushing the toilet every time, not washing the car, cutting back on showers and placing aerators on faucets." Elizabeth Kanaris , sophomore , said , " I conserve by cutting back on my time in the shower, not leav ing the water runn ing and not watering my plants ."

Student teaching pr8pares education ,maiors BY LISA POTTER and REGINA O'LEARY

Twenty-three student teachers, made up of Education Early Childhood and Special Education majors, have not begun to work in area schools. The student teachers teach two grade levels for six weeks each . They work four full weekdays and a half day on Wednesdays. Wednesday afternoons, William Kuhns, department head, Andrew Litavec, and the student teachers get together for discussions . . In these discuss ions , the student teachers talk about problems they have encountered in the classroom and share teaching experiences . Recently, these discussions have involved lectures which included a nurse , who spoke about medical problems in childr en that teachers should be aware of. One example is recognition of ch!ld abuse . According to Litavec, there are plans for resume writing workshops for student teachers . It is also possible that a simulated interview will tak e place between the student teachers and a principa l. Tanya Nelson, an Early Childhood and Eleme ntary Education major , works as a second grade teacher at Hancock school. At the end of six weeks she will begin teaching kindergarten at Hancock.

One of the most promising departments at Cabrini is the Social Science Department , due largely to the recently developed concentration in Social Work. According to Sister Regina Peterson , M.S.C., Cabrini hopes to become accredited by both Harrisburg and New York. What this means is that Cabrini could then offer a B.S.W. to Social Work majors. According to Peterson , "We are seeking accredition by the Council of Social Work Education . Many Masters' programs accept the B.S.W. as first year graduate work." Peterson and Michelle Waldron Daly , M.S.W., are currently 'planning .new courses in Social Work for next semester. Peterson said, ---we are looking over some new courses for next semester. We hope to offer some special interest · courses like Child Welfare and Family Abuse." This summer Daly and Peterson hope to offer a course in Crisis Intervention. Currently, Peterson and Daly are monitoring the activities of several seniors who are serving internships in Social Work at various places for various reasons. Senior Annette Brandolini is working at the Elwyn Institute in Media. She is working with the mentally and emotionally handicapped. "Right now I'm just observing other counselors dealing with various handicaps," Brandolini sai -d. When she eventually assumes the counselors' responsibilities she will talk to patients about thei'r self-help progress, and discuss any problems they might be having with their socialization therapy.
Brandolini feels that Cabrini prepared her for her internship, but she wishes she took more special education courses. "I'm basically going to have to learn on the job , but that 's to be expected ." Brandolini said that she is still getting used to Elwyn and the patients there . "I'm still a little afraid of them and of the responsibility ," she replied . According to Brandolini, inexperience is largely responsible for her fear. One thing that Sister Peterson hopes to do differently in the future is to require that students take two practicum courses before the participation. "The students who are interning right now are taking the second practicum course simultaneously with their internships," she explained . Senior Terri McGovern is working at Delaware County Juvenile Court with six first-Offenders who are on probation. She is directly responsible for the adolescents and counsels them weekly. Her duties also include keeping in touch with community resources and learning about programs to help the young people she is working with. McGovern must also keep the court abreast of their progress and behavior. McGovern said, "You really do learn a lot on the job. I'm getting a chance to apply everything I've learned in the classroom ." McGovern feels that she has both the 'Confidence and the independence to do her job well. "I also liketheexperienceofbeingableto work with kids," she said. Sister Peterson and Michelle Daly are anticipating the formation of a student committee regarding Social Work that would also include Cabrini alumnae.

In case you haven't noticed, there's been a change in Cabrini's cafeteria. The change is due mostly to the new food service manager , Jane Pearlman . Pearlman, a warm, friendly young woman, has been working for Seiler 's for two years. She is a graduate of Simmons College in Boston and has a BS degree in nutrition. She first worked for Seiler's while at Simmons, and, after graduating, was transferred by the company to the University of New England in Maine. Seiler's then transferred Pearlman to Cabrini. • While here, Pearlman's responsibilities will include running the whole operation, both the business aspects and relations with the students and faculty. "You name it, I do it," Pearlman said, laughing , Since her arrival, the difference in the cafeteria has been obvious.

Gracie slated for Cabrini appearance BY JEANNE PROKO
Cabrini can look forward to - hearing the music of 50's star , Charlie Gracie, in the next month . Charlie Gracie, Jr ., a history major at Cabrini, says that presently arrangements are being made between the Arts Department and the Student Government for a 50's show starring Charlie Gracie . Charlie Gracie 's fame was achieved in the music world in the 1950's . He was one of the first pop singers , along with Fats Domino, to play rock 'n' roll . Gracie frequently appeared on "American Bandstand" and the "Ed Sullivan Show." He became an international celebrity in 1957with "Butterfly ," and "Fabulous . " Curiously enough; Gracie had a bigger following in England , because Elvis had not toured there. Forty-three-year old Gracie said , ''My European fans , espec ially the English, are very faithful. If they like you, they like you forever . Here you can get lost unless you have hit after hit. Over there , they have great tenacity ." Although Gracie's fame was
achieved mainly through his guitar playing, which his father taught him, he decided to stop his international touring and devote his · time to raising his family . Charlie Gracie, Jr., said that he , his mom and sister used to travel with their father which was a "great experience for us." For the past 20 years, he has continued his career touring on the east coast. Gracie, originally from South Philadelphia, now lives with his family in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
•
Now that his daughter has graduated from high school and Charlie Jr. is in college, Gracie talked to his manager who persuaded Gracie to come back on tour . He was a success in Europe , once again, when he toured there in 1979. In descr ibing how it feels to have that "second chance ," Gracie says , "It 's a Cinderella story . Most people don't even get one shot. I've had two . I'm walking on Cloud Nine and it feels great."

Theft plagues Living Arts Society BY THERESA COLLINS
The Living Arts Society ' s amplification unit and PA columns were stolen from the cafeteria between the months of December and January. The amplification unit was last seen by Sulamon Allyn before the Christmas Dinner /Dance on December 7, 1980. According to Allyn, he set up the equipment for the dinner music and when he returned to the cafeteria for the dinner the unit was gone. Sometime during January, the PA columns, which were left in the cafeteria from December 7 were also missing .

Steeley Dan
'Gaucho' follows 'Aia' lead BY JIM LAWLOR
Steely Dan's latest album , "Gaucho," may have the same strange fate as its predecessor "Aja ." When the latter was released in 1977the hard core fans of the Dan were displeased . But a whole new following emerged like a Phoenix bird to make "Aja" the groups largest selling album by far . Both the new and the old fans wonder ed if the next album would retur n to the harder rock of the ear lier albums wh~ch brought us "Re eling in the Years ," "My Old School," and "Kid Charlemagne ," or stick with the more mellow, ja zz influenced "Aja " tr adition which is mosfevident in " Deacon Blues" and "Black Cow." Well, the verdic t i s i n. "Gau cho" is straight out of the " Aja" mold. Like its precedessor, the latest release combines complex arrang ements with the best studio musicians available to produce a well executed and refined album . One can almost match the two albums song for song. But don't be misled, "Gaucho" is by no means a rerun . Two songs, "My Rival," and juke box hit "Hey Nineteen" indicate that Walter Becker and Donald Fagen (collectively Steely Dan) are ex-
perimenting with reggae . There is also much smaller presence of blues than in "Aja." The title track is a moody rhythm p1ece in which Fagen's irate voice combines with a down tempo to project an attitude towards the obscure topic. "My Rival" is a funky piece which flirts with new wave. Its reggae backbeat and back alley lyrics will probably make this song the next single hit off the album "Time Out of Mind'' has had some exposure as a single. lt is a laid back , relaxed effort which makes easy listening . "Third World Man" uses a blues back grou nd and file~harpened lyrics to clearly make its social point. "Babylon Sister s" is a psuedo love song. Its obscure lyrics may leave one hanging, but it is worth listening to . The single hit " Hey Nineteen " deals with growing out of youth and may serve as an explanation as to why "Aja" and "Gaucho" are departures from the earlier Steely Dan. The final song, "Glamour Profession," praises the good life of Hollywood stars, but then takes a critical twist towards the end. It may be a classic in annals of anti-
show-biz Steely Dan. There is no denying that the Steely Dan of "Aja" and "Gaucho" has changed from its earlier days. The lyr\CS are still often obscure and irreverent, but they don't have the teeth of the older songs. The music, too, is not as hard . But Steely Dan has not gone commercial. Rather, they are like the campus radical who went on to become a social critic : The mind is the same but the method different.
DeNiro shines BY KATHLEEN BRUST
"Raging Bull" is a stunning , technical knockout of a movie. It clearly deserves the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Best Picture. The United Artists , Robert Chartoff and Irwin -Winkler Production is an outstanding film that was nominated for 7 Golden Globe Awards . Directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro as boxer Jake La Motta , " Raging Bull" is a film that leaves you drained . Scorsese filmed " Raging Bull" in black and white . The use of black and white film heightens the dramatic effect. It also forces the audience to use its own imagination .. Jake La Motta always thought of his life in black and white ; never color. Scorsese uses this in the film . , While the use of black and white film intensifies the drama , giveng it an almost documentary-type feeling, it also tones down a good deal of the sensationalism. There is a lot of blood in the fight scenes and the lack of color tells the story without horrifying the audience . Scorsese effectively uses
slowmotion in his fight scenes . This slows down the action of the fight and allows the audience to get a better understanding of the fight itself. As Jake La Motta, Robert De Niro is brilliant. De Niro tried , and succeeded in capturing the character of La Motta . De Niro, who put on a great deal of weight for this part, was very convincing as the fanatical La . Motta . He was very real , hard-hitting and totally stunning. The character of Jake La Motta is not easy to identify with, nor is he very likeable. He is an angry man who stops at nothing to get what he wants, not caring who he hurts in the process . He is definitely not a "Rocky " type character that everyone loves and wants to see succeed. La Motta 's story is not a happy one and this is evident in De Niro's portrayal. De Niro aptly depicts La Motta as a pitiful character . There is no way that you can not feel sorry for La Motta. He is definitely a pathetic creature. That De Niro shines in this film there can be no question. This has to be his finest performance .

Ballet des Je.unes: An international troupe BY MARY ANN RIBICK
•

The Ballet des Jeunes, a company of 30 young dancers from the area, brought the grandeur of ballet and other dance forms to the stage of the Little Theater. At the Little Theater, the company, under the direction of artistic director, Ursula Melita, demonstrated their versatility. From classical ballet to Spanish and Slavik dances, the company led the audience on a tour of the dance world. Janet Feldenkreis, narrator of the program, gave the audience an insight as to the type of dance, its significance and often the composer of the music. The audience journeyed through the world of dancers, experiencing the excitement of rehearsal in "A.B.C." The courts of Vienna came alive as the dresses of dancers swirled to the Viennese Waltz." The castanets of Spain sounded in the "Flamenco." "Jazz" was a surprise, varying from the expectations an audience has of a ballet company. In this selection, the company had a chance to "let its hair down," demonstrating an ability to handle today's music. The final selection, a selection from a new ballet, "All About Schubert" gave the audience a tantalizing peek into the musical portrayal of Schubert's life. The company is a local non-porfit organization dedicated to the artistic development of youth. The Ballet des Jeunes has performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Little Orchestra Society at Lincoln Center as well as with area symphonies. The list of the company's accomplishments is extensive. , A grant from the Pennsylvania Council for the Arts and the Pew Foundation have made it possible for the company to appear at the Walnut Street and Zellerbach Theaters as well as at the Philadelphia Free Library. The company also boasts participation in three op~ras presented by the Philadelphia Grand Opera Company. Performers abroad through the Ambassador for Friendship Program include Bulgaria, Monaco, Poland, Romania and Russia. The Ballet des Jeunes is truly developing the artistry of its youth members as well as their audiences' appreciation of art.

Little Theater tours prove to be a success BY DIANA McSWEENEY
"This is really the only college where students have the opportunity to do this sort of thing and get paid for it." Dan Perna, director of Cabrini's Little Theater, was commenting on his troupe's tour over the holiday break. Perna and the members of the Little Theater went on a two week run of area schools with their production of "Hansel and Gretel." "'Jihe knowledge they gain in taking a production and traveling with it is invaluable," said Perna. The actors also performed in New Jersey and at Cabrini High School in New York, where they had the opportunity to see the offBroadway production of "Really Rosie." Perna was quick to point out, however, that this was not a vacation. ·"The students were more relaxed since there weren't any classes, but we were getting up at 6 a.m. to practice." Sandra McNamara, freshman, agrees. "I'd been accustomed to doing three or four shows a weekend whereas here you sometimes performed two shows a day." The plays were performed without the benefit of scenery, which Perna felt worked to the actors'
advantage. "I think it proves the caliber of the students involved, to project without the sets, which are really icing on the cake," said Perna . The performers I spoke to felt it was a real challenge and enjoyed the change of pace. Jeanne Proko . freshman, felt that it kept her on her toes as an actor . "We did eight to ten performances and I enjoyed every single performance. The children had so much energy, it made our performances very physical because we had to work with their imaginations ." Mary Alice Fitzpatrick , senior , felt the same. "The tours are more challenging because you never know what you are going to find , it could be a huge gym and you've got to find some way as a performer to fill that space . That was the fun part as well though, you told the children that all they needed was their imagination." Perna summed up what seemed to be the concensus of the company. "This tour was a beneficial experience for all involved. It tested their powers as creative performers and it was rewarding, even more so than the usual creative challenge."

Cavaliers having their upS and downs BY JOE KRAVITZ
It seems as if John Dzik, along with coaching associates Joe Kelly and Mike Keeley, have been riding a roller coaster over the past 15 basketball games this season. Riding with a 9-6 record, not only has the team experienced its ups and downs, but in three of the last five, games the final destination of that ride wasn't decided until the closing seconds of each game. In the game against Beaver College the Cavaliers finished with a score of 80-67.Mike Bennett and John Keating combined for 42 points in this Keystone Athletic Conference game. While Keating took advantage of hitting 12 foot baseline jumpers throughout the night, Bennett was able to convert missed shots into a string of tapped-in buckets. With growing momentum on the side of the Cavaliers, the team prepared for its rematch with Spring Garden College. A spirited game the ballclub nevertheless went down in defeat in the final seconds to the Bobcats, 46-44. Steve Slysarczk's outside shooting and two free throw shots with 12 seconds remaining in the game sealed the victory, witnessed by a standing room only crowd. Neither team was able to 9apitalize on mistakes due to conservative basketball demonsl:rated by both teams. A little more than a year ago, Penn State Capital travelled from the unique surroundings of Three Mile Island only to be sent home gasping for air after being choked
on the Cabrini hardwood by a score of 95-82.This time it was the Cavaliers who found themselves gasping for air, but they did win the .game. When a team executes for the first 30 minutes and outscores the opponent 32-17,and then builds up a 17 point margin with less than 14 minutes to play and watches it slip away, only able to win by a point, there should be no reason · for celebration. At the same time you must credit Penn State's Jackie Wilson for a great effort in bringing his team back into the game. The 6 ft. 4 in. District 19 Player of the Week scored 44 points against Cabrini last year and did another super job scoring 24points in this game. The final score was Cabrini 71, State 70. After this haphazard performance, Dzik spent a good amount of time in the locker room telling the team that somebody had better step forward and take over the role of leader, someone who wanted the ball in the clutch. If not, he warned, the next opponent, Miseracordia, would walk all over them. Unfortunately, no matter how strong a team's desire to win is, there is one thing that can substnatially-decrease their drive ; the iju. Cabrini found themselves fighting a Misericordia team that was both hungry and healthy. John Keating was in with a temperature near 101, and Mike Bennett, though playing, was still weak
from the lingering flu. Dzik found the team plagued with a cold both off and on the court as well. Ray Young was unable to connect on any of five free throw shots. The squad shot a poor 44% from the field and allowed 82 points with a defense that averages to give up no more than 63 points .per game. Misericordia 's guards, Joe Prato and Mike Moeller, gave Cabrini a lesson in foul shooting by connecting on 14 free throw without a miss in the second half to move Misericordia into a tie with Cabrini for first place in the K.A.C. With the 82-70defeat Cabrini forward Mike· Hilsey stated, "We know we're a lot better ballclub than Misericordia. Tonight was just their game; they had better enjoy this one because things will definitely be different the next time we meet in the conference playoffs.'' Hilsey's words, along with Dzik's pre-game lecture on leadership, must have done something to chase the "bug" off the team. When they faced Philadelphia Community College, Headcoach Larry Conti marched a 15-4team into the gym, one that probably had more individual talent than many of the school's the Cavaliers have faced. With both teams shooting well, Ray Young was able to overcome previous poor foul shooting to connect on two free throws with just seconds remaining and defeat the Colonials in another cliffhanger, 66-65.

Intramural teams start off w~th participation and success BY MONICA WOODS
Are you tired of spending endless nights studying? Do you want some excitement in your life? If the answer to these questions is ''yes,'' then maybe you should look into Cabrini's new intramural program. There are two sports all students can participate in: intramural volleyball and indoor soccer. There are six volleyball teams with twelve or thirteen players on each, and the six soccer teams consist of about eleven members per team. The intramural program was started through the combined efforts of the Campus Ministry As-
sociation · and the Athletics Association. Men's basketball coach John Dzik was interested in having some sort of an intramural program at Cabrini. Father Jack took a poll in the beginning of the first semester to see ifthere was a substantial number of students who would like to participate in intramurals. Jeff Brun and Chris Collins, who are in charge of the program, took the names from Father Jack's poll and made up two lists. Dzik picked the teams along with the help of Joe Kravitz, Brunand Collins. They tried to be as unbiased as possible making up the teams . Those who are particip_ating in
the intramural games really seem to like it. "I really enjoy it," said freshman Lorrie Palcik. "The students get involved and there's lots of participation . The program is well-run. It's a good chance fo.r students to get together and forget the pressures of school for a while and enjoy themselves." Collins, president of the Athletics Association, said that the first week really went well. "The turnout for volleyball was really good. There were about 115spectators." "I'd just like to thank everyone for their participation and involvement thus far," Collins said.
Dzik iniects boost to sl~cking morale BYMEGSLOOK
The sports program at Cabrini is suffering from a lack of support according to Men's Athletic ·Director, John Dzik. There is no apparent reason for . the lack of interest. On the contrary, there are several reasons why sports should be important to the students, Dzik feels. "Il's,part of your whole college experience," Dzik said . "That's what makes a college fun." In an attempt to solve this problem, various promotions have been initiated. The first of these.
"Go Crazy Night," offered free admission to women. During all home games there will be a competition shoot-Out for cash prizes. The promotions will resume Feb. 7 with the double-header basketball game at Cabrini. An alumnifaculty game will be held between the double-header. An alumnifaculty Beef and Beer will follow the double header.

Practice, hard work and encouragement are the key to a successful team. The women's basketball team proved this thought to be correct in the game against Bryn Mawr College. Before the game, coach Mike Tenaglia stated that the team practices at least 2 1/2hours a day to prepare for a game. Although during the game against Bryn Mawr the defense and offense slacked-Off, encourag em en t from teammates, coaches and fans sparked • the women into playing a better game. Coming from the bench, coach Tenaglia could be heard sending in plays to help the team win. Shouts and jears of players' names could be detected coming from withing the crowd. Does this hurt a player's concentration? One
would assume so . However, Tenaglia expressed a different view, "It actually depends on the player. Athletes should be able to block out shouting." Throughout the game this encouragement from the crowd· helped the women's team to endure the downfalls of their strategy as well as those of the Bryn Mawr team. When players begin to lose some of their hussle, it's up to the coach and the players themselves to get the spirit back. Also, when things _.get tough on the court the coach and team must harden. The Lady Cavaliers show all these qualities needed for a winning team. Some weak playing, both defensively and offensively and fouls didn't hinder the Cabrini Lady Cavaliers from beating Bryn Mawr College, 57 to 17.
